Take The Responsibility Seriously And You’ll Get The Big Pay

For those of you have spent any time with me, you know that I hold a special place in my heart for Napoleon Hill. If you haven’t read “Think And Grow Rich”, run out right now and buy it. It literally changed my life.

Recently, I made one of my best Amazon.com purchases in awhile. On a sidenote, Amazon should pay me some sort of affiliate commission for as many people I send there. I bought the aforementioned book on CD. Now, I can listen and be inspired while I’m driving, running, cutting the grass, you name it. I’m not cutting much grass these days in the St. Louis winter, but you get the gist.

In the spirit of my acquisition, I wanted to share one of Mr. Hill’s quotes that I thought was particularly applicable to our industry.

Big pay and little responsibility are circumstances seldom found together.

It makes you really take stock in how much time you are really spending on your business. It’s so great to go online or your company’s newsletter and read about the top producers who drive the Ferrari, live in the house on the beach and take ridiculous vacations.

We all want the big commission checks and the time to go to these far off places. But, how many of us are willing to do the work? The numbers say ONLY 3% of us!

I don’t want to bring you down because there is hope. I talk to a lot of network marketers and that 3% stat is skewed. In my experience, I would estimate that about 90% of associates in any given company do NOTHING with their business. The other 7% just don’t have enough direction or guidance to make them successful.

That means, assuming you are putting forth a legitimate effort, you have a 70% chance of making it. Those odds are not too shabby. If we take the responsibility of owning a business seriously, you will reap the rewards.

Now, to cleverly tie this all together. When Mr. Hill uses the word seldom, I believe he is referring to the MLM/network marketing industry. This is why…once you have taken that responsibility and built your business to the level you desire, the leverage of your downline is going to carry the majority of responsibility for you, thus leaving you with the big pay.

If you want true time freedom, there is absolutely no other game in town. Sleep well at night knowing that you are in the right industry and, if you haven’t already, take the responsibility seriously and you will be in the 3%.

Your partner in success,

Ryan
