Network Marketing Lesson Learned

A friend gave me this article a few days ago and I
thought what a wonderful word picture to describe
what 97% of Network Marketers experience in
the lifetime of building a home base business and in
search for the freedom of choice.


Lesson from a dead fly

This was inspired by, when cleaning the dead flies
lying there on the window seal. What happened?
I have witness the scenario many times before,
but never thought about the process of a fly trying
to reach freedom past that window. So I sat there
picturing in my mind what could have happened.


There she is flying around, seemingly hitting an
imaginary wall, suddenly changing direction,
now toward the real danger, the picture window.

Smack against it. What is going on in the fly’s head?
Here is the light, right in front of her, picture of freedom,
flying in the warm spring air one with nature.
But the unseen real block right in front of her the
dreaded glass blocking the well planned escape to the
outside world and freedom.

She will keep hitting that widow pane time after time
until dropping to the window seal exhausted, hurt, and,
with one last glance toward the dream of freedom will
die there among similar other stories.

But she was determinate; she had a vision, a good plan.
She could not perceive the glass, the block that brought
her to the last resting place.

Was there an option? Off course she could have looked
around for an open space to freedom. But no, her
determination, dedication and stubbornness would not
allow her to admit defeat after a few tries, perhaps her
ego got in the way and would not allow her to be open
to other possibilities.

But, she is only a “fly”, and we are only “human”
Well I guess it’s a good excuse to die right there on
the window seal.

How many of us are behaving like the fly?

We are trying hard, banging our head against the window.
Oh yes, don’t get me wrong we are determined to
succeed, we have a vision or CMI ( clear mental image)
we have a goal, a well planned one at that. We will succeed
*even if we die trying.*

In the mean time someone, a coach or mentor or even a
good friend is trying to show us a better way, a different way,
an open door to freedom. But we are caught up in our plan,
our vision so much that we will not accept an alternative.
And when we lay there exhausted near dead or in our human
case, quitting stage we will blame the whole world for not allowing
us to reach our goals.


I have found the way to freedom with the Mentoring For Free Team.
There is always someone available and willing to point the way to my
goals and most time in an easier way then I could have come up with.

A master mind group is of the highest importance when reaching
for a dream it is found here among the pages of Think and Grow Rich
and the mental cleanse, saving useless head banging and certain death.

Tips and Advice For Your Network Marketing Business

Back in 2000, a very good friend and mentor of mind
gave me the book, "Battlefeld of the mind" by Joyce Meyer.

Some pages of the book has paper clips, where my friend
had marked some pages that helped her learn and grow
into the wonderful person that she was.

You see, she was in her late 60's when she decided she
needed to make some extra money to supplement her
retirement.

She started out with Watkins and became very successful
in that business. She won many awards, fur coats, trips.
Whatever contest or incentive that the company put on,
she excelled to the top.

I meet my friend in 1998, a year after I started my Network
Marketing career. We would sit on her front porch for hours
talking about business, talking about life and sometimes just
sitting in silence watching the sun fade on the horizon.

Strong thoughts about her today lead me to the book that
she gave me. The page that opened to me stated,

"My People are destroyed for lack of knowledge" Hosea 4:6

This statement reminds me of people who are working a
business from home because being a mentor, every day
I talk to someone who has not read their policy and procedures,
have not crunched the numbers on their comp plan and
do not have a duplicatible system.

How can anyone make an informed decision on a business
opportunity if they do not know what is expected and what
is required to make the money?

The superstars of this industry use aggressive techniques on
us with promises of big bonuses if we get in at the groundfloor
of a prelaunch, they will do the recruiting for us and give us
spillover. They tell us to make a list of our warm market, buy
leads and do the cold calling when our warm market is run
dry.

We end up being frustrated, spending time and money that
we do not have and blaming ourselves for our lack of success.

Sound Familiar? Yeah, I know. Being there, got the tee shirt.

Tip # 1: Before you decide to sign your name on the agreement,
please read the contract, know what is required of you,
crunch the numbers so that you will be able to look at an
opportunity and know if it will work for you not against you.

Tip # 2: Make sure the duplicatible system is NOT making a list
of your family and friends

Become 10 feet tall and bulletproof. Become a critical thinker.
Learn the skills that are necessary for you to have success in
this great industry.
