Green Business Ideas

I tried to climb the mountain today. As I inched my way up the path, I felt overwhelmed, so I had to turn back.

I tried to climb the mountain today. On my journey, darkness started to fall, and I was full of fear, so I had to return to a safe place.

I was ready to climb the mountain today. But it was so hot outside, I thought I better stay in my nice air-conditioned house and rest up for tomorrow’s attempt.

I was about to climb the mountain today. But I had so many other things to do, so instead of climbing the mountain I took care of much more important tasks. I washed my car, mowed the grass and watched the big game. Today the mountain will just have to wait.

I was going to climb the mountain today. But as I stared at the mountain in its’ majestic beauty, I knew I stood no chance of making it to the top, so I figured why even bother trying.

I have forgotten about climbing the mountain today; until a friend came by and asked me what I was up to lately. I told him I was thinking about climbing that mountain some day. I went on and on about how I was going to accomplish this task.

Finally, he said, “I just got back from climbing the mountain. For the longest time I told myself I was trying to climb the mountain but never made any progress. I almost let the dream of making it to the top die. I came up with every excuse of why I could not make it up the mountain, but never once did I give myself a reason why I could. One day as I stared at the mountain and pondered, I realized that if I didn’t make an attempt at this dream all my dreams will eventually die.”

“The next morning, I started my climb.” He continued, “It was not easy, and at times I wanted to quit. But no matter what I faced, I placed one foot in front of the other, keeping a steady pace. When the wind tried to blow me over the edge, I kept walking. When the voices inside my head screamed “STOP”, I focused on my goal never letting it out of sight, and I kept moving forward. At times, I was ready to quit, but I knew I had come too far. Time and time again, I reassured myself that I was going to finish this journey. I struggled to make it to the top, but I climbed the mountain!”

“I have to be going,” my friend said. “Tomorrow is a new day to accomplish more dreams. By the way, what are you going to do tomorrow?”

I  looked at him, with intensity and confidence in my eyes, and said, “I have a mountain to climb.”

There once was a farmer who grew award-winning corn. Each year he entered his corn in the state fair where it won a blue ribbon.

One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors.

“How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?” the reporter asked.

“Why sir,” said the farmer, “didn’t you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn.”

He is very much aware of the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbor’s corn also improves.

So it is with our lives. Those who choose to live in peace must help their neighbors to live in peace. Those who choose to live well must help others to live well, for the value of a life is measured by the lives it touches. And those who choose to be happy must help others to find happiness, for the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all.

The lesson for each of us is this: if we are to grow good corn, we must help our neighbors grow good corn.

Lets be good neighbors by working together by sharing!  Email me if interested here!

It is possible to give away and become richer! It is also possible to hold on too tightly and lose everything. Yes, the liberal man shall be rich! By watering others, he waters himself.

People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care!

This will not be a very long article, as the Secret to MLM Success in not a long secret.

Many people think that to succeed in network Marketing, you need to have the ultimate this, and the ultimate that. You need an internet MLM prospecting system. You need the latest MLM training CDs. You need the latest MLM training book and tools and websites. You need to attend every seminar. You need to latest DVD. The Latest CD. You need everything that is coming out, as you are supposed to be learning and being educated.

Nothing wrong with any of that, as we sell them as well as a company, but they are NOT THE Secret to Network Marketing Success!

Not even close.

A speaker was recently blessed to do a meeting in Florida, and was talking about recruiting in network marketing. Someone asked a great question.

“What is THE secret to Networking? Everyone seems to have a different twist, and a different secret. My upline tells me one thing, and my sponsor tells me another. I go on training calls, and I hear something else. I listen to generic training CDs and hear something else. It is all so confusing HELP!!”

The presenter was quite at a loss of words.

I really did not know what to say to that. But God always seems to come through at the right time, and I started answering her question without realizing it.

All the speaker said was…

“Everything you learn can help you, and all the trainers, upline and sponsors you can learn from. You may even learn something today from what we are training on. But understand if there is ONE secret to success in this business it is this:

“Hold a conversation with people about THEM, what THEY want in life, what Their dreams are and then show them a SOLUTION that will transform their life. This is call becoming a ‘Transformation Specialist.’ DO NOT sell them anything. DO NOT recruit them. Simply keep the conversation spotlight on them. Do not talk about you but talk about them, and then show them how your business can CATALYZE that Transformation they are seeking in their life. Let them know that your business is not for everyone, but if it is for them, you do not want them to miss it. Do not pressure, but instead REASSURE them. Reassure them that their life can be more than they every thought it could be. And then show them the Success path that is ‘Transforming your life.”

You are not there to sell them something or recruit them. Those transactions are the FRUIT of a Transforming conversation.

INFERNO secret:

If you are focused more on creating a Transformation in a person than a transaction, then your transactions will multiply.

Most distributors are totally focused on creating a transaction that will create a paycheck for them. Focus on transforming the prospect’s paycheck and your paycheck will automatically be transformed in the process.

In simple words:

Hold a Transforming conversation to create a Transaction in Network Marketing. That is it. Every conversation and telephone call in MLM are potential Transformation Events. And this is a Higher Realm of working Network Marketing.

Different!!

Yes.

The Truth of what it takes to succeed in MLM?

Absolutely!!

Become a Transformation Specialist is Network Marketing. You will not only transform other’s lives, but also your own in MLM and Network Marketing.
