My Adventures In Network Marketing

On Saturday 28 March 2009 I attended a Super Saturday event for business. The special guest speaker, Mr. Alister Edwards, asked a question that really hit me. He asked, “Parents, would you take a bullet for child?” Of course all the parents said yes. He followed that with, “Then why won’t you take a no?”

That hit me right in the heart. I have to ask myself that question every day. What am I afraid of? Why should I care what anyone thinks? A “No” is momentary. A “No” has no physical consequence. This business is a vehicle which can pay for my children’s college educations. This business is a vehicle which can generate the income to put a new roof and fresh paint on our house.

I didn’t do to well this past week. I only exposed five people to this business over the week. I need to do at least 14. I have yet to follow up with any of them. I’m acting like a beginner rather than like a person who has reached the highest permanent position in his company with a team of a couple of hundred folks spread out from New York to Florida and from South Carolina to Louisiana and Illinois. I must get out of my comfort zone. This week two exposures a day and two follow up calls a day. I am on my team’s conference call. I haven’t heard from my workout partner today.
