Orlando (Day One)

 wall art 007
That's exactly what I'm doing now, and where I am. This week, it has brought me to Orlando, Florida. I awoke at roughly five a.m. to catch a flight out of Nashville which connected in Atlanta and finally touched down here. Total flight time was about 2 hours, including sitting on the planes waiting to actually take off. And it didn't cost me a dime.

I was picked up at the airport in a gold Cadillac Escalade (and for those that know me...gold is totally my color!) by Carrie. I claim shotgun and we proceed to the hotel. Unbeknownst to me, I am now at the Hilton, typing this for all of you to read so you know what kind of class this company has.

We get here, I check in, call the family and let them know I've arrived safely. Then the day starts. People from all over the place start showing up and there were a couple that I have been anxious to meet in person. My good friend, Lynn, who is just as charismatic in person as she is on the phone. My friend, mentor and master, Peter, who is just a phenomenal person altogether that I've learned a vast amount in such a short time from. I will probably write at least one book on his teachings or maybe help him write one or both.

And the old cowboy himself shows up. The legend, Earl Shaw. Now, for those of you that have never met the man, he's shorter than my five foot seven (barely), but has a commanding voice. Hearing him on the phone on conference calls and business calls is one thing, but seeing someone face to face gives that voice behind it all, a real life and persona of its own as the actual presentation emerges. I see now, why he has been so successful.

I was coming here one way or another. The force has made it so. I attracted it from the universe. It was written in the stars. 'Twas God's edict and decree that I learn from the best in the business. I must say, today has been invaluable. I wish more people could have come, and I'm sure I'll invite others as it seems I have been given a leadership role I wasn't anticipating. I told you before, they see something in me, I'm not sure exactly what, but I'm putting money on the notion that I'll find out this weekend.

S.O.S. (A Silent Cry For Help)

S.O.S. was first a military nautical term adopted (on my birthday in 1905!) by the German government in radio operations that signifies an international distress call. It became a world wide standard shortly thereafter, most predominantly being used in Morse Code.

I’ve given it a whole new twist in relation to network marketing.

How often I see the silent cry for help. Some people are even screaming! I am no saint though, for I too, was guilty of sending out the signal.

You see, many new network marketers are not successful in their first few weeks, or months, and start looking for something ‘better’. The truth of the matter is, they haven’t acquired the proper mentor to teach them how to apply themselves. ANY business can be successful, you just have to follow a few unwritten rules and guidelines.

So, I have penned the term, ‘Shiny Object Syndrome’. It describes a person that has lost site of the original excitement and flair in their current pursuit and opt to chase another opportunity in the hopes that it will prove more successful than the last one they were just doing. It’s not necessarily considered giving up, but they feel this new ‘shiny object’ has more potential than the last one they saw.

To me, it’s a matter of focus. Perhaps their mentor or team leaders didn’t keep an open line of communication, or weren’t there when they needed them? Maybe they just were traveling down their respective road and saw that bag blowing in the wind…distracted. Either way, they were not achieving what they had hoped with the company they are currently with and so…move on to the next.

Maybe you’re one of these people? What you truly need most, because I needed too, is a strong sense of direction. Your motivation may be stronger than my own even, but without someone or something to keep you focused on your objective and help you see the vision, you will more likely than not, fall prey to the S.O.S.

I would like to help you. Find me on Facebook, if you dare, and by giving me just ten minutes a day, I can show you how to be successful. I’ve been taught several systems, and know they work. In a few months from now, you’ll understand why I’m telling you this and reaching out to help you…yes, YOU.
