What's Love Got To Do With It?

Okay, Courage may be a trait associated with the successful Network Marketer, but Love?

Here’s my thinking on the matter. In the past weeks, anyone associated with a Christian faith has been told the story of the Passion of Christ. Differing faiths focus on differing aspects of the story, but the one that has stuck in my mind was the directive issued at the Last Supper: “Love one another as I have loved you.”

I by no means intend to offend anyone with this idea, but didn’t Jesus just describe the ultimate in “duplicable systems”? Isn’t that the model that we should all be striving for?

Think about it. Train one another as I have trained you. Teach one another as I have taught you. As we bring new people into the world of Network Marketing, the best thing we can do for them is to give them all of the knowledge, experience, and other advantages we can. The more they know, the better equipped they are to go out and reproduce that success!

I was struck by this as I pondered how to give more to the people I work with. The only way we are successful in this business is if we make sure everyone else is successful. What a special and unique opportunity that is! It doesn’t matter what your religious background or beliefs may be, the truth is that the successful Network Marketers are the ones who give freely and abundantly of themselves. My success is directly tied to the success of my downline people. Their success is directly tied to their downline. Everybody’s success is dependent on a duplicable system of training and learning and cooperation.

If your Network Marketing company doesn’t have a duplicable system, there are plenty you can implement in your team. Randy Gage, Don Failla, Joe Rubino, and many other authors far more brilliant than I have put together duplicable systems you can use.

So, you see? It is about Love.

Courage

Courage
Even the word has a daunting sound to it. Courage. It rings of bad times, wars, horrible trials. That’s really unfortunate, since courage is something we need every day.

For some of us, the idea of picking up the phone and talking to a stranger is so frightening that we just find any possible excuse – oops, I meant “reason” - for putting it off. This is where courage comes into play. Facing a fear and blasting through it requires courage.

Learning requires courage. Admitting that there is more to something than you know may feel like admitting your inferiority, when exactly the opposite is true. Admitting that you have room to grow is a bold act. Actually following through and growing takes courage.

The Serenity Prayer so popular in Twelve-Step programs states the problem clearly and succinctly: God grant me the serenity I need to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. This is a courage that persists through every facet of our lives. Change is hard. Acting, actually doing something, is harder than just letting life happen to us.

The flip side of courage is regret. We can probably all think of something in our life that we regret doing, but how many MORE things can we think of that we regret NOT doing? I should have… I wish I had… If only I had it to do over again, I would… You get the picture. A life without regret is truly a wonderful life. It’s also a life filled with courageous doing.

You know what you’ve been putting off. How much courage will it take to start that business? How much courage will it take to end, or begin, this relationship? How much courage will it take to rebuild this relationship? How much courage will it take me to get that prostate exam or mammogram? (Imagine now the regret of NOT doing it!)

Now try thinking of courage as a game. How much courage can I drum up for this task? Isn’t that what kids do when they dare each other? How much courage would it take to go off the high dive? How much courage would it take to jump off the swings? “I betcha don’t dare to ask Cindy to the dance.” As adults we can play this same game. How much courage would it take me to… You fill in your “Need to act and get it done” thing here.

There’s a reason why Nike’s slogan was “Just do it.” Those are powerful words that speak to the quality of courage. The marketing genius who came up with that deserves kudos for touching us in a special way.

For everybody, every day is trying to build up the courage to do the things we know must be done, to change the things we know must be changed.

Stir up some courage. Do it.
