One of my favorite things about this business is that I get to meet some incredible people. Whether it's someone new just taking a look at the company, or a long time leader, we're all just one big family. Even though we're not necessarily directly making each other money, fostering a sense of community is paramount to creating momentum in all of our businesses. In the "normal" corporate world, it's so cutthroat. It's all about the money, and staying ahead of the next guy. I love that we celebrate and recognize all of our local representatives, no matter which "team" is hosting the event.
I had the pleasure of bringing a guest to a local meeting put on by a superstar of another team, and was just grateful for the chance to have something work with my schedule. However, not only was he so welcoming and willing to impart wisdom, he genuinely cared about helping us to grow our business. Not to mention, he helped to push me outside of my comfort zone, getting me up in front of the meeting to introduce the speakers and run the video. WOW, I didn't think I could do it, but it goes to show what you can do when someone really believes in you. I can only hope that some day I can return the favor, and help him in some way.
These past few months have honestly been some of the wildest of my life. It's truly been a roller coaster of emotions, and I'm learning, as one of our Senior Vice Presidents mentioned, to make the highs and lows not so high and low. I am quite glad though that I left the safety and pointless fighting of the bumper cars for the risks and thrills of the roller coaster, because right now I'm hearing the "tick tick tick" of the climb, and it is EXCITING!

You Say You Want a Revolution...
It's been a while, and oh boy has a lot gone on.
Though my business has only grown a tiny bit, I myself am in the middle of a revolution. I don't listen to music while driving anymore, I'm listening to Jim Rohn, Darren Hardy, Chris Widener.. You get the picture. I'm learning how to develop myself, because as the amazing J. Rohn says, "To have more, you must be more."
I launched myself headfirst into the world of network marketing. I was like a toddler running around pushing things around, but not getting any results. I know that my company offers an unparalleled opportunity for anyone with work ethic and a desire to succeed, but I didn't understand how to get people to know it as well. I'm learning that it's not about making someone see the vision, but to find those that are already looking for me.
Most of us live our lives in quiet desperation, just trying to get by, with our spark of hope dwindling with each hour we trade for a wage. With each hour we spend away from our too quickly growing children, too quickly aging parents. I'm looking for the ones that are ready to stoke their fire. Feed their spark. Break free of their socially imposed employee mentality to enter the world of entrepreneurship. It's not about forcing people to see, it's leading them to the chance.
On a more business-oriented note: Energy is HERE. New York just deregulated, and we as licensed representatives can offer a better price on utilities to our friends and family there by early April. The rest of the states will be following one-by-one. Can you imagine getting paid every time someone turns on a light? Or heats their house, cooks a meal.. Our company makes it a reality. See what I mean about being frustrated when people don't see the vision? We save people money on things they have to pay for, and we get paid for it!
