How Is Learning How To Market My Business and Crashing Through Snow Drifts Relat

Latest Articles

In the face of eminent death, little did I know that a white-out on the road could turn out to be intended to teach me a lesson that would give me an inside view in the mlm industry.

I have decided I need to write more than one article based on the marketing principles found in Mike Dillard's ebook, “Magnetic Sponsoring.” "Follow The Leader" is often considered to be just a child's game to play but it is really what each of us are a part of all of our lives. Even leaders follow leaders.

During the month of January in the middle of farm country , it happened that life took a dangerous turn for me. The temperature was in the teens and a blizzard was in full force. Visibility was down to almost nothing because of the "white out." The road was barely visible and houses had disappeared.and in a short amount of time the drifts started blocking the road. I was in trouble and I knew it. I forced a path through some driftsknowing that I had a good twenty miles to the nearest town. Sure enough, I now faced a drift taller than my hood I stopped, not knowing what to do. Gas tank half full, no water or food, night fall just a couple of hours away and my clothing was really to light for winter. This was bad and I knew it. I breathed a simple prayer of “help.”

About three minutes later a massive 4x4 erupted out from the drift in back of me and pulled up beside me. A young fella then yelled out of his open window, “Follow Us!” Which I willingly did. An hour passed before we reached the next town. That massive truck plowing into several driftsa couple of times as that beautiful machined labored to get through.

It felt so good to finely make it into town. I let them know how thankful I was to them and Godand when I pulled into my driveway, I gave my car a pat and thanked it.

There are a few analogies I would like to excerpt from my experience. It was the opening chapters of Magnetic Sponsoring that made a few things real clear.

First of all we are attracted to leaders that can benefit us in our efforts to progress in our lives. When those fellas came though that drift behind me, I believed he could take me to the next town. When people find you, that's what they trying to find out. Do you have the ability to lead them where they need to go?

Secondly the leader must have the right equipment to get the job done. Every network marketer begins at this point. Not having the right equipment will keep us in the position in which we will be doing the following and not the leading. But when we are the ones with the right "equipment" that's the point at which we will be worth being followed. In the networking business our equipment is gaining the right knowledge, giving the right motivation and going the right direction. How long it takes for you to acquire this “equipment”is something only you can determine, but you must decide to own it. I found that the shorter the learning curve, the sooner the money flows.

The leader I followed on that day knew he had some really bad drifts in front of us but he was determined to get through them. In my minds eye I still see the snow flying as he plunged into those drifts.

Are you that determined? Do you have a goal that is truly definite? Do you run from difficulty or are you the kind that meets it and defeats it? Do you care about the people that are following you? Every leader has these qualities, it is these qualities that make someone worth following.
