3 Jewels For The Network Marketing Journey
Thursday, September 13, 2007 at 08:18PM After reading the book “Acres of Diamonds, I found the following ideas can be applied to my life and may help others reach the level of success they desire. As I can only speak for myself and my life experience, this is what I uncovered in my “field of diamonds”. If you have been in a MLM or Network Marketing company for any length of time, you have probably figured it out by now that finding success in any internet business is a journey. Here are the 3 jewels to keep in your presence for the journey. In all our “getting in life”, if we get an understanding of fortune, innovation and greatness, their light will be a lamp unto our feet in our discouraging hours. The first jewel to carry with us is fortune.
Fortunes
Fortunes in life can be obtained just where you are and not limited to a specific location. Life seems to give you what you ask for no matter where you are. The first order of success for me is not really to relocate but to reeducate. Many times you may think “if only” I was in a larger city that had more opportunities, I could reach my dreams easily. But the road block to our success is really us. When we reeducate us, then we see our dreams more clearly and we are able to go into the “attack mode” in getting after our dream. I believe the first step of achieving our dreams and financial goals begins with developing ourselves intellectually and arming us emotionally for the rigors of the journey. The second jewel to retain this journey is innovation .
Innovations
Look for innovations to come from our own creative genus instead of waiting for others. The great innovator in my business is me and not someone else. Innovation says “if it is going to be, it’s got to be me”. The great innovator of my MLM business is myself and nobody else and here is the reason. To look at others for Innovation in my business is futile because another person looks through the “windows of their experience “ and not mine. You may give me some “basic” ideas but you can’t give me your Innovation. Innovations occur in real time and in a particular historical context that infers what worked for you may not work for me. The third jewel is for this journey is greatness.
Greatness
Greatness in any station of life is determine by the individuals deeds and not their position. The office a person holds does not make them great but the deeds that is performed. In an MLM business, your up-line above you may hold a position that was “gifted “ to them and did not earn the position by their personal deeds. They may have extensive reading on the subject but has not went to the school of hard knocks. If I look upon them as being great because of the rank they hold, I will be sadly mistaken because they can’t deliver. They have no experience with “true greatness” for they lack the deeds of greatness. They don’t have that “tee shirt” hanging in their closet.. Greatness is like Michael Jordan. Mr Jordan was one of the greatest basketball players to play the game. Mr Jordan not only made great plays but he also made the players on his team better and even some of them became great. To be truly great in the network marketing business, a great leader is able to not only do great things but she/he transforms their team that causes everyone to perform on a higher level. If you can remember and understand what defines fortune, innovation and greatness, you can find your field of diamonds.
