I just got finished listening to a new audio book
written by Donald Trump and Robert Kyosaki (The "Rich
Dad" Guy) titles "Why We Want You To Be Rich". It was
thoughtful and informative and really something that I
think you should consider picking up.
There was one portion of the audio book that rings
especially true for us as network marketers.
There was a section where they discussed the idea of
security and how it relates to business and success. It
was one of the most poignant points I've heard in some
time.
In a nutshell . . . Business is not about security
rather it's about freedom.
If you've joined your current business or you are in
the process of finding the right business for you DON'T
join for the reason of security because you won't find
it.
This is a subtle point that many miss.
Many people join a network marketing company and think
of the idea of earning a large income and falsely
equate that to security.
So what happens?
They get going, they start to follow the advice of
their sponsor, and they start to see the tough road
ahead of them.
At some point down that road they start to realize that
they are working pretty hard, but they are not making
much income. It's at this point that the questions
start to simmer up.
"Is this worth it?" "Am I really getting anywhere?"
Etc.
The answer is yes, but most miss this.
Why?
They view their network marketing business through the
eyes of an employee. They start to equate time to money
and realize that they are putting a lot in for little
return.
They start to get depressed and many eventually give
up.
It's a shame, but it happens everyday.
It's not because network marketing doesn't offer far
more than a job, but rather because they view their
business through the same mental lens as they do a job
which is, of course,wrong.
A job offers a certain sense of security. You put in
time -you get paid for that time.
If that's what you're after network marketing isn't for
you.
In fact, if security is your goal here's how to
guarantee yourself ultimate security.
Trot down to your neighborhood store and rob the place,
but make sure you get caught.
Do this and you secure your future.
You'll never have to pay for lodging and you'll never
have to worry about where money for your next meal is
coming from.
At what cost?
Jail is the ultimate in security but there is no
freedom to be found there.
This example is the extreme, but realize that the
J.O.B. world is the really no different. You give up
freedom for the security of a timely paycheck.
Network marketing on the other hand offers you freedom,
but guarantees you no security.
Which would you choose in the grand scheme?
Business and more specifically your network marketing
business is a risk and fight, but a good one.
It's to those that realize what freedom means to them
and fight on despite the initial outcome that when the
prize.
So take some time today to think about what your
business REALLY means to you.
(I know what it means to me, and it's I fight you won't
soon see me retreat from.)
What if you could live the life of your dreams? What if
money was never a question? What would that mean to
you? Now what if you could live that dream in less than
a year without ever having to pick up the phone to make
a cold again? ==> http://www.opportunity-waits.com
