Yeah, Our Industry is Network Marketing: So, Why Continue to Work Alone?
Firstly, let me quote J. Paul Getty, with his immortal words, “I would rather profit from 1% of the efforts of 100 people rather than 100% of my own efforts”. Obviously, Getty knew something about wealth-generation, but more importantly, he knew the importance of working with others, because strength in numbers reduces risk, increases the probability of success and generates greater profit for all participants in the collective.
People who possess a Millionaire Mindset or Prosperity-Thinkers, recognize the importance of TEAM BUILDING, which is for our purposes a process of building a community of like-minded individuals, who develop a relationship with each other over time and work together to achieve a common objective (hopefully, a WIN-WIN situation for all). Again, the Hivemind concentrating on a single objective to benefit the masses.
Now, if you’re one of those John Wayne types with the “go it alone” attitude then, you definitely have secured your reservation in the MLM Cemetery, which is the final resting ground for all the broke DICKS (I mean, broke Richards). Well, you get the idea, I hiope.
Oh yes, the MLM Cemetery is supposedly, permeated with “Emotional Vampires”. Now, Jerry “D Rhino” Clark, described them as “people who are committed to living a life that... oh ... for lack of a better word... "Sucks"... And they don't want to be alone... Thus, they hunt down people, like you and I, who seem to be joyful, positive, excited about life, and full of energy... Once they find us, they stick their "spiritual fangs" into our "spiritual veins" and proceed to suck all of the life force out of us so we can be miserable like them”. Yes, it sounds like marriage, but that’s another debate.
Any way, there’s a basic fundamental reason why working alone in any business capacity or life in general is dangerous, because MAN is a social animal, who requires the support of others to maintain his existence and advance his heirs. The Animal Kingdom epitomizes the importance of Networking on a daily basis as indicated by the LION PRIDE working as a collective to target an opportunity (Impala) for its next meal. Hence, working together increases the probability of success and ensures security for the promotion of future generations. Yep, seems like that’s the same goal we marketers have regarding our business opportunity.
So, the BORG, had it right when they spoke about the collective and it’s focus on achieving a goal through the efforts of many. Now, we humans must incorporate our own unique individualism within our enterprise, but also, must not lose sight of the importance of working with other like-mined people, who desire to generate consistent, predictable and long-term residual income. In essence, we leverage our efforts with others to achieve our individual goals. So, how much money have you generated working alone and how do you feel about the future of your enterprise with your current method of operation? Again, animals, who work alone in the wild tend to be more unsuccessful and increase their chances of starvation compared to those, working as a TEAM.
Lastly, before departing Network Marketing is the Art & Science of empowering, communicating and connecting with others based upon their needs. To learn more about our Global Community and access our Inbound Market-Network click on the link below:
