"Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it's when you've had everything to do, and you've done it."

What happened to Respect?


I seems every day I get calls trying to convince me that I should be actively building a network instead of building tools to help others build the networks. I do build networks, I build huge networks. I do this by helping companies put the tools and software in place to support all the people who are actively building teams.


I remember it is just as bad when you are building an actual network. Everyone calling to try to break your belief in what you are doing in order to attract you to their opportunity. Isn't that kind of like them telling you your girlfriend or boyfriend is ugly? What is up with that?


Why can we not respect each other in this industry?


I will tell you a story about someone I know who has the most respect of other Networkers that I have ever met. His name is Rick Jongkind and he is with Melaleuca.


I met Rick about 10 years ago for the first time. He had responded to a fax campaign I had done while I was working with N/A/T/O International an MLM selling Automotive additives. He was with Melaleuca at that time as well.


He responded to my fax, we agreed to meet knowing that we were both fairly focussed on our respective things and maybe we could work as mentors to each other in the same industry. RIGHT, We have all heard that one right?


Well, it was true. We met, learned about each other, and had a very good cup of coffee talking about the industry. Neither prospected the other. We made the agreement to meet once in a while and promised never to prospect each other.


Well, my company closed, and we met again. I had the opportunity to take the top distributor role in a company called Teamglobe.com. I really really expected Rick to prospect me for Melaleuca fairly aggressively at this meeting. HE DIDN'T. Instead after hearing what I had to say about my postion, he said I should take the top spot in the new company as he figured it was a great opportunity for me. THAT IS RESPECT!


The story goes on. That company I took the top spot in closed due to a debit card provider stealing all the money of the distributors.


I joined yet another company with another mentor named GREG STEWART. That was wild. 18,000 people in 4 months and over a million bucks in earnings!! COOL. I never prospected Rick Jongkind. He never prospected me.


That company ran into troubles that they eventually overcame. I decided to look for something stable at the time so called my buddy Rick Jongkind. He never returned my call. So I left him another message. I was going to join Melaleuca and really wanted him to be the one to sponsor me.


Funny, the phone rang about 6 minutes and 28 seconds later. It was Rick Jongkind. We agreed to meet and have him show me Melaleuca.


I got involved, built a fast team, made about $5000 in my first month. Patience and Respect. Rick waited 8 years for the timing to be right for me!!!


If more people in the industry would do this, we would all have much bigger success over time. Respect others in the industry. Stop trying to break belief in what they are currently doing. If you are so sure their thing is going to go out of business, be friends, when their thing is ready to go out for business, help them.


The thing I have seen is, most of the people that call me to try to convince me to do their deal now, end up calling me in a few months with the next deal. Why do I want to join with someone who pushes the flavour of the month?


Think about the damage you do to your reputation when you tell someone what they are doing is invalid, but your company is the only MLM company on the planet that is worth doing. Doesn't that invalidate our whole wonderful industry?


Lets start treating others with respect. Our businesses will all grow faster, and it may even help companies survive longer to provide that residual income we all desire!!!

I want to dispel a HUGE myth.


Companies with autoships are bad!!!


NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. Autoship is the only way to make a residual income which is the primary reason why we do MLM and build huge teams.


Just imagine you built a team of 5000 people and there was no autoship. How much do you think your check would be when you stopped growing? What if you only stopped growing for 1 month? Well I have awful news for you. You would make $0.00 if you were in a company without an autoship and your growth stopped.


Don't believe me?


Why do you think a company with autoship is a good company? Because you don't need to buy anything right? RIGHT. So if you don't need to buy anything, neither does anyone else, so when new people don't join the company and purchase the mandatory starter pack of products, your commissions will stop!!


Everyone who joins no autoship companies typically does so for the same reason. They dream of making money without having to buy anything themselves. In this case likeness attracts. Soon you have 5000 members who don't want to buy anthing.


Sounds like a lot of work to me.


I would rather have 1000 people who all purchase $50 or $100 a month in products.


So, I think you can see, NO AUTOSHIPS typically means NO COMMISSION Checks.

Companies without autoships tend to go out of business and you wou

"Every memorable act in the history of the world is a triumph of
enthusiasm. Nothing great was ever achieved without it because it gives

any challenge or any occupation, no matter how frightening or difficult,
a new meaning. Without enthusiasm you are doomed to a life of mediocrity

but with it you can accomplish miracles."
