My Frustrations, My Arrogance, My Apologies

First, let me say I love this business. I'll say it again; I love this business. However, the mistakes I have made could have been avoided if I had just did one simple thing...LISTEN.

Like most of you; I wanted to get out of the rat race by any means necessary. Which really meant, I had no idea what I was doing. But I sure could act like I did and sell it to you for a profit. I'm sure you know what I mean...I believed the hype and was going to make you believe it too.

I bought every promo booklet, pamphlet and DVD my company has to offer. And I was arrogant enough to think if you didn't get from me then; it was your loss. I didn't care if you knew anything about the biz, all I had to do was show you my booklet, pamphlet or DVD and you would join my organization, right?

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.

So what if you have dreams; I have dreams too! We're here to make money and that's the bottom line.

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.

Compensation plan...give me a break! You don't need to know about that yet, here just purchase this packet and you'll be on your way to earning millions. All the money you could ever want and more.........just like me, NOT!

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!!!

My downline consisted of a hand full of people. Well let me be honest, 3 people. And regretfully, I loss all of them with one click of the mouse. Looking back now; my frustration, my arrogance and poor communication is what sent them packing. And for that I am extremely apologetic for my actions.

So now what? How can a frustrated networker even being to change and make things right? It's real simple...by shutting up, learning from my mistakes and most importantly; learn how to LISTEN.

If you are anything like I used to be, you better learn how to listen or you'll continue to be a frustrated networker. I've read it before and I'll say it again...

this is not a "sales" business, this is a "teaching & mentoring" business!

Once you truly understand this; you'll mostly likely discover two things about yourself:

1. You're no longer frustrated.

2. It's NOT Your Fault!
