A new way of looking at what we do?
Millions of people across America have sat around their kitchen tables and the conversation went like this… “One of these days I’m going to make some real money away from the job… start my own business or invent the next??? Pet rock.
In all this, there are many millions more who look at their checkbook near the end of the month and find a zero balance, or worse – a negative balance. Often, the consistent income just doesn’t add up to the day to day expenses. Inside we scream at the losing battle over money. We are looking for an opportunity to change.
If you have had one of the above conversations, and most likely you have, I’d like to ask, “Why haven’t you found an opportunity yet?”
The typical reasons include:
“I don’t have any money.”
“I don’t have the experience.”
“I don’t know how.”
“I don’t know what to do.”
We’ve all heard before that the meaning of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again… always expecting a different result. And all we ever get is the same thing.
Yet, how often does that definition fit our daily lives? We go to work thinking someday there will be more money after paying bills. We believe a pay raise or winning lottery ticket is just over the horizon. Somehow we suppose our future will be brighter without any help from ourselves.
We are lost waiting for the window of opportunity to knock loudly and swallow us as we watch our TV at night.
That is insanity.
But I want everyone to know that every moment we live is special. We don’t get to save it and come back later. Every precious moment we waited, we lost something that could have changed our lives.
We all have been given gifts and talents that are there for a reason. All too often we waste those gifts because we want to be liked, or we feel change is too difficult or even that our spouses will not appreciate our choices.
And thus our heart dies as we swallow the painful tragedy that our life has become. All the sacrifices and opportunities lost because we failed to utilize the gifts and talents we already possessed.
Here is a physical example of how most people go through life. When asked “what color is a yield sign?” most people answer the same way. Yellow.
Yet, years ago the U.S. adopted the International Signage Standards and yield signs are now red and white. You probably don’t believe me. That’s okay, you will begin noticing the signs now.
Why? Why do we see red and white signs as yellow? Because, we see through the vision of our memory and conditioning. We are processing so many things, we filter out what our brain sees as uninteresting. Yet, because our brain sees something as uninteresting does not mean it was not important.
My wife is a wonderful woman. But when we began dating, she had a lot of pride and misconceptions. Now, we have dealt with many of them and she has matured into a blessed beautiful woman. But every time I am tempted to treat her as naive to her maturity, our relationship takes a backwards step and I need to rebuild again.
I was looking at her as yellow. She is better.
How must we see other people, our jobs, coworkers, teammates and most importantly ourselves? The perspective we have taken is that they are yellow.
We need fresh eyes to see. And opportunities will appear when we are looking.
How many windows of opportunities have passed us by without us even seeing them?
I heard one man say that, “the deal of a lifetime comes by about every week.”
I have been blind to many as I look back on my life. I also took a number of them and failed. But I am stronger and more knowledgeable now. I can take better advantage of the next opportunity. I can take better advantage of my time. I know how to deal with people more effectively and in a more positive manner.
I am a better person because I look with new eyes. I am able to live fully.
And you are about to too. Because this is what you were made for.
That is when we would like to say, “My friend, if you will give me permission, I would like to show you how you can overcome each and every one of those initial objections and get you changing your financial situation within a few months, maybe even weeks. Whether you desire to gain a few hundred dollars a month to a few thousand extra… we can get you started sooner rather than later. In fact, we can start now.
How can I say that when I don’t even know you? I believe I can change a person’s financial situation because people just like you are doing it. I believe, just like they have believed, that you can do it.
So what’s the catch?
You.
Do you really want to change your financial situation? If things have not changed in your life in the last six months, everything could be all yellow. There are opportunities for people where they don’t need money, they don’t need the know-how and they can come from Yale or jail and still succeed.
These people saw things differently. They saw themselves differently.
To get started in the old economic system, you would need a major promotion, head a small business, be a phenomenal salesman or find and risk millions in capitol on a new business venture.
Today is a new day. It is not uncommon to find millionaires in their twenties. In fact, it’s not uncommon to find billionaires in their twenties. There is a new thing called the Internet and its changing lives faster than people ever expected… and a majority of the wealth in this country will be changing hands in the next few years.
There are opportunities for everyone. Everyone is on an equal footing in this race. And you can partner with us and make more money than all of us. Try doing that at a job.
It all depends on desire and actually working at it.
I cannot provide either of those ingredients. I cannot make you want success. And I definitely cannot get in your shoes and make you do the work. And I tell you this is hard work. You have to blast your comfort zones.
But do you really want those comfort zones? Especially if those comfort zones keep you from making a change for the better in your life?
Here is how I can offer you a dramatic change in your financial situation if you will put in the desire and the work: by networking your warm market.
Here is an example of what network marketing is... you go to the local drug store and find the car battery or cosmetics that you needed at a fair or bargain price. You already knew you needed it so you pick it up. After a while you notice your friends need the same thing.
Network marketing is letting them know that you found what they already need at a good or bargain price. The simplest level is just open your mouth only when you see or hear someone already talking about the need you can fill. In the more advanced levels of network marketing, you know that you have some of the best products on the market and you proactively seek the people who are in need. And that may be everyone.
But be cautious. There is a big difference between networking and pressure salesmen. The best picture of networking is to build a friendship first and then share what you discovered. You need to be in the place where you don’t need their business. That way, they are not feeling pressured and you don’t need to be a salesman.
Network marketing is not about generating sales. It is about providing a service to people who want the service. If they don’t want the service, don’t push it on them. But often a wholesale price gives people an enormous opportunity to save.
The technical definition for network marketing would be a system for distributing products or services through word-of-mouth recommendations.
Amazon.com said that in their marketing efforts, if one person waiting in line for the theater said to another person, “Have you ever heard of Amazon.com?” Amazon would say that was worth $1,000 in their marketing minds.
That is the whole concept of the business’s I’m in, I want that $1,000 and I want you to get that $1,000 too.
Now you might think that network marketing is just for salespeople. Actually, it’s the salespeople who have the hardest time in network marketing - because they try to sell. Network marketing is not about selling; it is a relationship business. Once you learn to build relationship all you do is refer people to your business, service or website as an alternative to what they already use.
I am going to give you a list of what Network Marketing is not. This is copied from the book “Network Marketing for Dummies” by Zig Ziglar (a book we highly recommend):
• Network Marketing is not illegal, fraudulent or unethical.
• Network Marketing is not an opportunity to get rich quick off the payments of others who join the organization. That’s a pyramid scheme.
• Network Marketing is not an opportunity to get rich quick. Period.
• Network Marketing is not built on simple mathematics where many losers pay a few winners. That’s also a pyramid scheme.
• Network Marketing is not an opportunity to let someone else build a sales organization for you.
• Network Marketing is not just for salespeople.
• Network Marketing is not expensive. Unlike most other business opportunities, the start-up costs are low, almost always less than $500 and often under $100. (Just over $50 for mydotbiz.biz)
• Network Marketing is not a way for companies to sell huge amounts of inventory to distributors.
• Network Marketing is not a way for distributors to sell stuff that nobody wants or uses.
• Network Marketing is not a license to sell products and services at inflated prices.
• Network Marketing is not for people who are not willing to work hard.
• Network Marketing is not for anyone who can’t or won’t follow a proven system that leads to business success.
I know as informative as this was, it does not drive you to go join a network marketing company. But there are many skeptics who do not understand network marketing and often people are thinking of 1980’s old-school quick scams and front-loading companies. And I feel obligated to at least give an informative foundation for network marketing for all the old-school people who have been hurt in the past.
Now the program is “grow up” and evolve – because network marketing has.
This is the Information Age where Internet sales will soon be half the American Economy. The proof of this is your reading this article.
So for now, good investing and may you be blessed.
