The NEW American Dream

Archive for the ‘Self-Esteem’ Category

The passionate Les Brown advises us to stop playing it safe and start creating what’s truly possible in life. Take a minute and a half to discover why people really fail while giving thought to the THREE areas of your life where you should raise the bar and aim high for a goal!

Problem is most self-employed people running a traditional business usually lack the time and flexibility to effectively manage their goals in three different areas… if they even take the time to define them. That’s where Network Marketing changes the game, offering the possibility of earning as much or more than you have ever earned before while having the time to enjoy it in all areas of your life!

This post was written by John Fogg.

Seth Godin is one of my heroes. In so many, many, instances, Seth’s writing cuts through the morass & misunderstanding of the world we live & work in with a uncanny precision & vision that makes things crystal clear. Especially “things” such as what can be done to change what’s not working for the better, perhaps forever.

In his latest book, Linchpin. Are You Indispensable? Mr. Godin makes a case for what’s not working in the world of work and why. Like this:

The system we grew up with is a mess. It’s falling apart at the seams and a lot of people I care about are in pain because the things we thought would work don’t. Everyday I meet people who have so much to give but have been bullied enough or frightened enough to hold it back. They have become victims, pawns in a senseless system that uses them up and undervalues them.

It’s time to stop complying with the system and draw your own map.

Stop settling for what’s good enough… Stop asking what’s in it for you and start giving gifts that change people. Then, and only then, will you have achieved your potential.

For hundreds of years, the population has been seduced, scammed, and brainwashed into fitting in, following instructions, and exchanging a day’s work for a day’s pay. That era has come to an end and just in time.

Seth goes on to say that we have an opportunity today to change our lives for the better. He is NOT making a case for MLM Network Marketing. From my conversations with Seth I believe (unless he’s changed his “worldview”) he has not held our profession in the highest esteem. I don’t think he fully understands us, because without intending to, I believe he IS making a case for Network Marketing as one of the options to choose from.

Linchipn continues…

The Take-Care-of-You-Bargain
Here’s the deal our parents signed us up for:

Our world is filled with factories. Factories that make widgets and insurance and Web sites, factories that make movies and take care of sick people and answer the telephone. These factories need workers.

If you learn how to be one of these workers, if you pay attention in school, follow instructions, show up on time, and try hard, we will take care of you. You won’t have to be brilliant or creative or take big risks.

We will pay you a lot of money, give you health insurance, and offer you job security. We will cherish you, or at the very least, take care of you.

It’s a pretty seductive bargain.

So seductive that for a century, we embraced it. We set up our schools and our systems and our government to support the bargain.

It worked. The Fortune 500 took care of us. The teachers’ union took care of us. The post office and the local retailer took care of us. We followed the instructions, we washed the bottles, we showed up on time, and in return, we got what we needed. It was the American Dream. For a long time it worked.

But in the face of competition and technology, the bargain has fallen apart.

Job growth is flat at best.

Wages in many industries are in a negative cycle.

The middle class is under siege like never before, and the future appears dismal. People are no longer being taken care of— pensions are gone; 401(k)s have been sliced in half; and it’s hard to see where to go from here. You might be the hard working secretary, the one with the institutional knowledge, the person who has given so much and deserves security and respect. And while you might deserve these things, your tenure is no guarantee that you’re going to get them.

Suddenly, quite suddenly in the scheme of things, it seems like the obedient worker bought into a sucker’s deal. The educated, hardworking masses are still doing what they’re told, but they are no longer getting what they deserve.

This situation presents a wonderful opportunity.

Yes, it’s an opportunity. An opportunity to actually enjoy what you do, to make a difference to your colleagues and your customers, and to unlock the genius you’ve been hiding all these years.

It’s futile to work hard at restoring the take-care-of-you bargain. The bargain is gone, and it’s not worth whining about and it’s not effective to complain. There’s a new bargain now…

Again, to be clear, Seth Godin DOES NOT directly endorse MLM Network Marketing. That said, there’s a lot we ARE by design & on purpose that’s right up his alley.

What Seth presents is a picture of the “American Dream” that is past tense. “The bargain,” and the systems and structures and people and ideas that have supported it, “has fallen apart.”

Three years ago I put together a book titled, It’s Time… For Network Marketing*. It was, alas, at least as indicated by its lack of acceptance & sales success, ahead of it’s time. Perhaps no longer.

It is clearly time for a NEW American Dream.

And although not for everybody, for millions of people “…who have so much to give but have been bullied enough or frightened enough to hold it back.” Who, “have become victims, pawns in a senseless system that uses them up and undervalues them.”

The NEW American Dream can be found in Network Marketing.

It’s Not Just the Money
I’m convinced no other business model
could have given me the lifestyle I enjoy today.
And the dear friendships I’ve developed with
people around the world adds a richness and
texture to my life that’s beyond compare.

There is no question that the lifestyle of a career Network Marketer is enviable. I love my life, and I love network marketing. I believe, however, that the most important thing that happens to us in Network Marketing is not necessarily what we achieve or accumulate, but what and who we become.

If we embrace its principles, Network Marketing forces us to grow our strength of character and professionalism in order to grow a business. This growth evolves naturally from leaving our comfort zone, motivating ourselves to become the best that we can be, and helping others do the same.

Unlike the corporate business model where employees depend on the employer and where people must compete with each other in order to advance, the Network Marketing model encourages people to take initiative and help each other to reach mutually beneficial goals. The wealth you create is proportional to the number of people you help, how well you do it, and what they do about it.

So Network Marketing, more than anything I know, empowers people to contribute and make a difference. And I believe that in the final analysis, the difference you make is what counts.

When we leave here, we leave the money behind. But we take with us who we’ve become and the positive influence we’ve had in the lives of others.

I think Network Marketing is potentially the greatest economic opportunity that has ever existed. You’re creating an opportunity to affect the self-esteem of many, many people. You’re giving people hope and providing a launching pad for people to discover their own greatness.

You are the future.
