So imagine – for a second… just imagine. A network marketer has come to town and your friend called you up and is got you goin’ to the presentation. You put your stuff together, but remove your credit card and checkbook from your inventory before you head out the door. (besides, you’re not going to buy anything.. or buy into anything [you promised your spouse!])

On your way, you get thinking – maybe I should’ve kept a credit card just in case.. but no.. you slap your face and tell yourself to snap out of it! After all, your broken muffler isn’t THAT annoying. You’ve been working hard at your job for 15 or 20 years and gotten to a respectable position. You and your family of 6 have done quite well living at 43 Riverside Estates Trailer Court for the past 10 years – in fact, you have more money at the end of the month now than you did when you got married and lived in that ritzy house on Terwilligar. Then you think about that nice house – how it had the newest counters, and a nice view of the park across the street. Sure better than waking up at 2am hearing the train cross the bridge over the river of recirculated water from the pulp mill in town. “SHUT UP.. SHUTUP!!!” you tell yourself.. that pulp mill is vital to this town’s survival…

Ahh.. the pulp mill.. it’s not so bad there.. look at your boss (neighbor) – he’s been there for 30 years and he’s almost ready to retire (like his neighbor).. You’re more than half way there. Everything will be fine.

You’ll go see the people, listen to the presentation, it’s just a bunch of numbers, words, and something about some products that cure cancer or whatever! But you won’t be interested!

You arrive, and the friend who invited you practically tears your arm off to introduce you to the ‘UPLINE’. This dude’s check last month was big enough to pay last year’s interest on the national deficit. (or something like that)

Dude’s got the spot light and he asks you what you do, how big’s your family, and then proceeds to say that you’d be great at this business and that you could work less, spend more time with your family, and overall just have a great life… just see what happens here tonight..

Does this sound familiar? Sure does. But it probably won’t inspire you to sign up, that’s for sure. You’ve been around the block a few times. You’ve seen your fair share of these meetings.

But let’s say you listen to the presentation.. and you hear something that really impacts your evening. It sounds something like this:

———————-

Folks, we’re not here to be a multi-billion dollar company. We aren’t interested in you selling record amounts of fruit juice. What measures our success isn’t how many people sign up.

What we really want is to help people create freedom in their lives. Parents could create a new life for her children instead of just earn a living. Teachers could teach kids principles of lasting success and fulfillment. Nurses could focus on prevention instead of treatment. Clergy could raise these new wise and healthy leaders to the strength found in integrity.

But all these things are tough to work towards when we’re just trying to work for money. ‘Need more money for the mortgage, gotta spend more on groceries, pay down the credit cards, the kids have soccer, government’s raising taxes where’s the next paycheck’

*dramatic pause*

Enter our company. We are finding people who want to do something different – something that most people won’t  - in order to have what they’ve never had before. A chance… options… freedom to give to their charities, serve in their communities, create opportunities, and impact their world. This is possible when money works for you.

Is it going to be hard? Yeah, absolutely. We’re showing you a way you can create a residual income; generational wealth in 5 years or less. It’s not going to be easy, but it will be worth it.

And when you have reached that ultimate goal of setting yourself free by becoming the person that helped their friends, family, co-workers get their own chances, options, and freedom, we will all celebrate and rejoice because our company succeeded in your life.

————————–

Now, the numbers, the products, the upline’s check… they don’t mean anything anymore, do they?

You have a crystal clear picture of what this company can do for you. You know full well whether this is something you want to do, or not. You don’t need to take time to think about it. You don’t think about the sign-up costs and whether they’re worth it or not. You aren’t concerned with the shape it looks like, or what even the products actually do for people. If any of these are a problem, maybe you have some questions – or maybe it’s just not for you.

Either way, you see the vision.

Now, come out of this imagination – and look at how you build your business today.

Ask yourself if you build your business with an agenda – or with a vision.

This is how people think when they’re meeting with you to look at your business.

No one on this planet is ever going to join your business because of its agenda. They are going to join you because of your vision. If you or your company don’t have a vision that can captivate, motivate, and inspire you and make you proud to be a leader in the MLM/Network Marketing industry. Stop it! You will struggle for decades. You are signing up people who build freedom FOR you and not WITH you. You’re running your business like a pyramid and as such will crumble and leave you and your friends broke and worse, broken.

Don’t build your company with an agenda. Build it with a vision.

I’ll see you at the bank!
