After the 2010 Bowl Championship Series final between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Texas Longhorns the ESPN interviewer asked Colt McCoy, the Texas quarterback who was sidelined early in the game due to an injury, “What was it like for you to watch the game, your last game in a Longhorn uniform, from the sideline.”
His emotion-filled reply was, “I love this game. I have a passion for this game. I’ve done everything I can to contribute to my team. We made it this far. It’s unfortunate I didn’t get to play. I’d have given everything I had to be out there with my team.”
Just like the game of life or network marketing you need a team. You are not even really in the game until you get your team together. Choose your coaches and trainers wisely. Pre-season you can learn the game plan and practice your plays so that when you step out into the lights your ready for the hard knocks. Once you’re in the game your team will help you move the ball down the field, get into the red zone, and score income touchdowns.
Your first efforts in network marketing are to create two levels of an inner circle group. The 5 or 6 that you work closely with who in turn each have 5 or 6 with whom they work closely with. Approximately 25-36 people in total. Your first job is to make a special effort to be surrounded by the right people, this is your inner team.
Surrounded with like-minded people all working towards a common goal will create a lot of enthusiasm and fun. “Have fun, but get it done.” Your business will start to grow dramatically without your personal effort. At that time you can work more on your business rather than in the business creating systems and events. And traveling. Team work makes the dream work!
You will love working from home helping other people achieve their goals. That’s when you find your self saying, after all the hard work pays off, “I love this game. I have a passion for this game. I'm doing everything I can to contribute to my team.”
Or you could be sitting on the sidelines saying, “I made it this far. It’s unfortunate I didn’t get to play. I’d have given everything I had to be out there with my team.”
This is not an attempt to diminish anyone's effort. Everyone has experienced well-intentioned attempts and learning lessons. There are no failures. You take what you learned and start again. And each time the results get better until… YES!
This is meant to encourage everyone to make their best effort. There are no losers when you put forth your best effort.
To be great at something you first have to be good at it. To be good at something you first have to be bad at it.
To be bad at something you first have to be AT IT!

Getting Close and Staying Close to the Fire
The Importance of Personal Development
The road to success lies between the ears. And in the chest. And in a willingness to do the thing that others are unwilling to do. The Tin Man needed a brain, the Scarecrow needed a heart and the Lion needed courage. Seldom, if ever, does anyone accomplish anything unless they believe in the possibility. Seeing, tasting touching our desires is not enough. Seldom, unless by mistake, does anyone accomplish anything of value unless they are capable of giving service to another. Love thy neighbor does have a place in a network marketing business. Seldom, unless by chance, does a person’s life change unless they are capable of change.
In any career personal development is going to make you more employable. Having the knowledge and skills of communication and critical thinking make you an asset to the team. Character that dresses well deserves a promotion.
Words are a funny thing. They travel on a sound vibration, but the sound of itself carries little meaning. When words enter our head a change happens as we ascribe meaning and value and experience to their interpretation. The coach is a master of creating a Yellow Brick Road with words. All of the sudden you feel like you’ve been shown the way. Darkness becomes light. Gandhi said, “The truth speaks to us all.”
The purpose of a coach is to make us aware of ourselves. To awaken that greater purpose for which we came into this life. The purpose of a coach is to give us a vision of our greatness. In network marketing a leader often has to hold the knowledge of what is possible until the recruit can get that knowledge in their heart. Not the head, the heart. In network marketing many products are created to change lives; to provide a solution to a health problem or social concern. Until you witness the change in another persons life, you won’t have the fire. All is vanity if the heart be not moved
Have you ever noticed that advertising is promoting something you can have other than the product. Different auto commercials may sell sex or muscle or speed or self-esteem that the viewer is expected to associate with the car or truck. Food commercials like milk, ice cream, or beer use humor to divert your attention. This entire pretense that the material world is going to fulfill our desires and create a better life for us is found everywhere when you are looking outward. It exists in network marketing; products that exist for the financial opportunity. And they are quite capable of putting an emotional spin on the product. It’s called the story. Everyone needs one. You just have to be careful about truth and value in the marketplace. You have to bring truth and value to the marketplace.
What’s the point? The most important development you will ever be involved in is your own life. Selling anything is transference of belief; transference of excitement. If you don’t have a strong enough belief about the network marketing industry or the opportunity you have chosen, then you need to stay close to the fire until you uncover your own secret power. Stay close to the fire and passion of a great mentor. He/she will give you courage enough until you have courage of your own.
Then you are the Wizard of Oz with the curtain down.
