One story
that has changed millions of people's lives.
Will it change yours?
"I
just want to be a success," I told
him, emotion troubling my words a little.
"I'm so sick and tired of the sameness
... of not having the money to do what I
want . . . to give my wife and kids the
things they deserve. Disney World,"
I said, "I want to take the kids to
Disney World-and the Grand Canyon. I want
to be free. I want time ... creativity ...
control ... And yes, I do want to be a pioneer-again.
I loved doing that. . ."
"But
... ?" he asked quietly.
"But,
I don't know how," I answered, and
I was certain I sounded close to crying.
"I've heard all that positive mental
attitude stuff, a hundred times-a thousand
times. It doesn't work for me. Network Marketing
doesn't work for me. Or, I guess, I don't
work for it. Something like that.
"I
see other people doing it. Lots of them.
So I know it can he done. And I know they're
not any smarter or better than me, or work
any harder. It's just that-I can't seem
to get it to work for me. I try. I really
do. I make the calls ... run my names list.
It just doesn't work."
I looked over at him and asked, "What's
wrong with me?"
He let his head fall back and looked up
at the ceiling. He scrunched his shoulders
up and down, took a big, long, deep breath
and leveled his eyes on me.
"Look,
how would you like me to show you how to
do this business?"
"Are
you kidding?" I asked, in a voice that
had everybody in the restaurant turn and
look over at us. "You bet!" I
exclaimed, holding my excitement down to
the dullest possible roar.
"Good,"
he said, matter-of-factly. "We'll start
tomorrow. Here's what I want you to do ...."
