The Good Life

I am only going to here repeat the advice of one of my mentors, Jim Rohn. The greatest value in life is not a bank account. The greatest value in life is not a car. Neither is it a home to live in. The greatest value in life is living a good life. In the midst of all our achieving, building and growing, helping other people be a part of society in the country and the world, being all of this stuff, you’ve got to figure out how to continually live a good life.

Be productive. If you do not produce you will not be happy. Have good friends. The greatest support system in the world is good friends. And you have to work on this. You must not be careless here. Friends are those people who know all about you and still like you. Have spiritual values. Yes, I am a believer. I believe humans, like all creation, were made by God. We are spiritual. As a believer, study, practice and teach. Whatever is valuable to you, study, practice and teach. This builds the foundation that builds the country, that builds the nation, helping us to compete with the nations successfully.

Don’t miss the good times.

Elton John, “She lived her life like a candle in the wind. Never knowing who to cling to. When the rain set in”. Don’t miss the lyrics, don’t miss the song that nourishes the soul. You can’t describe how brief and fragile life is.

George Harrison, “If not for you the winter I would hold no spring. Couldn’t hear a robin sing. I would not have a clue, if not for you”. Remember the words that describes the experience.

Barbara Strident, “It used to be so natural to talk about forever. ‘Used to be’s’ don’t count any more, they just lie on the floor, till we sweep them away. You don’t sing me any love songs, you don’t bring me any flowers anymore”. Illustrative of all our experiences.

Winston Churchill, “The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end there it is”. Use it. Feast on someone else’s comments. You can stay all night and not think of this.

Don’t miss the good times. Even the small things, don’t miss them. It is part of living a good life. If you live well you will earn well. If you live well it will show up in the texture of your voice. If you live well, it will show up in your face. If you live well it will show up in the magnetism of your personality. Live well. Don’t miss the nourishment of all the good things that will help you live a good life.

The inner circle. Take care of them they will take care of you. Inspire them, they will inspire you. Nothing more valuable than the inner circle. Nothing more powerful. Together you have the power to conquer the world.

If when you walk out of the house and you can feel the kiss of your daughter on your face all day long you are powerful man. That nourishment of the inner circle. If a husband walks out of the house and all day long he can feel the imprint of the arms of his wife around his body, he is invincible. He is invincible. Who can touch him?

One person caring for another is the greatest of all virtues. There are many virtues but the greatest is love. One person caring for another. Better to live in a tent by the beach with someone you love than to live in a mansion by yourself. People caring for people. Especially that inner circle. The power is so magnificent. If you draw from it. If you nourish it. Then it nourishes you.

Why network marketing? Because you cannot succeed unless you are willing to help somebody achieve. It will be you upline that you help succeed and it will be you downline that you help achieve. This concept escapes many. There are others that we will learn as we go along. These principles are taught in Success University. And you can find out about us in apbGLOBAL. You can have a free trial to see if it is for you on SU, we the team will be there putting in practice the philosophy of this blog.

Working with the Deserving

Right here is a experience that is hard to follow for many Christians. We want to help those in need. In my early times in networking I saw my brothers and sisters who needed help and thought in my excitement they would see the fantastic opportunity I saw. I persuaded many to sign up. I helped them with transport to the meetings, I loaned them money so they could move up a level. We soon had a team of 70 strong and growing. I nearly died in the process.

The Philosophy of Working with the Deserving

I had to learn in the skills of building an organization to work with those who deserved the opportunity not the people who needed it. You must be like life itself and respond to need. Following on the teachings of the Master, it does not say that if you need you will have a harvest. It doesn’t say that if you need a harvest you will have a harvest. It says that if you plant chances are good you will have a harvest. If you plant you will reap. Not if you need you will reap. So in networking we must be like life itself and respond to the people who deserve it by planting, by taking the first step. God teaches us that if we move towards Him He will move towards us. That is the condition. ‘You move towards me, I will move towards you’. Says the Almighty.

Learn to work with those who deserve it rather than those who need it. Here is the next step. Teach people how to deserve your time. Teach people how to deserve your attention. Teach people how to deserve a phone call. “Hey, Mary you take this one step I will take two steps. You take two steps I will take five steps. You don’t step, I don’t step. This is not hard. You step, I step. You respond, I respond. You try, I try. You make a call, I back you up”.

I had to learn to teach people how to deserve my time and my attention. Next. Learn to work with your group more than the individual. The reason is simple. 80% of the people do 20% of the work. 20% of the people do 80% of the business. Therefore 20% of the people you work with them individually, the 80% you work with them as a group.

The Philosophy of Helping the Many

The group is very powerful, less confrontational.  As a sponsor here is another important principle. You can help a thousand but you can’t carry three on your back. Some people will try and get on your back. You know the expression, “Get off my back”. A guy discovered someone on his back and said, “Get off my back. I can’t carry you get of my back”.

You could possibly carry one or two but you cannot carry three. When babies are born they are not designed just to be carried. Babies where not designed to be carried all their lives. Someday you have to try the legs. Someday you have to try your wings. Someday you have to try. even if you fall down you have to try. You can’t just crawl around all you life. You can’t be carried all your life. You can help a thousand but you can’t carry three.

Do not expect the pear tree to bear apples. You can try and change everything. You cannot change people, but they can change themselves. You cannot change people, but they can change themselves. Incredible!
