ARE WE ASKING THE WRONG QUESTIONS TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN DO BETTER?

Hi again.

I found a really interesting post on John Milton Fogg’s blog. Although it is specifically aimed toward network marketing, I realized that it is applicable to almost any field of endeavor. The first thing he asks is “What’s wrong with my Network Marketing Business?” His answer is that what is wrong is that question itself. I found the entire article to be well worth reading and applying to just about any business or situation that isn’t resolving as we want it to.

Below I have quoted his five right questions. I hope you will go to his blog and read the whole thing for yourself.

Mostly I try to keep the major content of my blog as comments that I want to share, but this is so important and relevant that I’m sharing it with you.

Here is the link. http://transformingmlm.typepad.com/ If it isn’t showing, just check out the right side and find the article there.

The Five Right Questions

1. What's right...? This question (formed by the conscious mind) instantly focus on the positive and productive (away from the negative and deconstructive)... engages the heart (intuition and imagination and spirit) and is energy-building (rather than draining)....

2. What makes that right...? With this second question, we are discovering Values, what is really most important... transmuting the "data"— the factual answer to the first question— and evolving that by getting to the "essence", thereby turning facts into knowledge and wisdom. This is alchemy. This is the child's "Why is the sky blue?" question. This question strengthens and raises the vibration.... and we're ready to move on to the next question, which demands even greater creative energy to explore...

3. What would be ideal...? Here, we begin to pursue the possibilities.... We have ventured into the domain of "What you don't know that you don't know...." This is the Visionary question, engaging the Intuition and Imagination and moving beyond the limits of the rational mind... and it is directly linked to the power of the Pleasure and Passion of your Purpose....
4. What's missing, which if it was "in there" would bring about the ideal....? This question explores and articulates the exact size and shape of the hole(s) in the Vision (Ideal) that need to be filled to bring the picture (image: as in imagination) of what's possible into being... what's required to complete our Ideal. Built on the growing energy of the first three questions, it transcends the mental-judging of "what's wrong?" and literally gives direction to Creation itself. Without this step, we almost always get square pegs for our round holes....

5. What will it take to put in what's missing... to bring about the ideal...? The Question that leads you... "What will it take to ______________ (filling in the blank with the Vision of the Ideal) for the highest good of myself and all concerned...?" This is the Visionary's request for Inspired Action....

DO YOU HAVE A FAILSAFE FINANCIAL "PLAN B".?

Hello again,

Thanks so much for coming.

As I am getting ready to go to our company convention in St. Louis, I have been thinking about why I am so committed to the company and to the concept of Network Marketing.

I know that a lot of people confuse Network Marketing with pyramid schemes, and they are correct to avoid pyramid schemes, but there is actually a world of difference between the two.

So many important things are happening in the world today that I have realized how important it is to share my love for this industry and why I do love it.

7 Facts About Network Marketing?

In just the last 5 seconds...just since you started reading this section…4 more people started a Network Marketing business!

The industry is growing so fast...some experts predict that nearly 150 million people will soon be involved in Network Marketing!

Did you know that every 8 seconds, a Baby-Boomer turns 50?

And...did you know that these people have 50% of the spending power of our economy?

Right now, they’re buying products to help them live longer...lose weight...feel better...look better...and have more energy...to the tune of $300 Billion every year! Plus...according to respected economist Paul Zane Pilzer...Wellness Products and Services are going to explode to A TRILLION DOLLAR industry by 2010!

There are predictions that in the not so distant future, more than 90% of goods and services will be moved through network marketing companies. Already, most people have bought products from one or more of them.

I have read and listened to a lot of pretty smart people like Warren Buffet, Robert Kyosaki, and Paul Zane Pilzer.

It’s the hottest way to make money...working from the comfort of your own home! Robert Kyosaki, author of the insanely-successful “Rich Dad” books...is a huge promoter of Network Marketing!

Over and over they stress that in today’s economy, everyone needs to have a failsafe financial “Plan B” to protect themselves from the fluctuations that occur. Another reason is that if we don’t have a home based business that we can use to offset the taxes from our paychecks, we will see our income erode more and more over the years. Respected economists are predicting that Network Marketing is going to be the “next wave of entrepreneurial explosion worldwide!” And, if that isn’t enough...the industry is projected to grow to nearly $500 Billion a year by 2010!

I have never seen this need as clearly as I do now. As the “Baby Boomers”, the “Gen Xers”, and now, the “Gen Y’ers” are aging or coming of age, they are realizing that they want more out of life than working for 40 years just to make a living with no chance to “make a life”

This group wants to maintain their health and their youth and they are willing to pay the price for doing that as long as they get top value for their dollars.

A quality, legitimate home based network marketing business offers everyone a way to have both financial and time freedom and still uphold their values. No selling out to Corporate America for a pipe dream!

I know it has worked well for Al and for me! We have the luxury of working where we choose, (working in my robe is the norm for me (I just don’t turn on my webcam before I’m dressed J). We work when we choose, (getting up at 9 am is a frequent occurrence), and… with whom we choose. We do not have to accept someone just because he or she shows up. We get to learn about them and they learn about us before we each decide if we are a good fit and match.

With facts like this, it’s no wonder that multi-billionaires like Roger Barnett, Warren Buffet and Donald Trump are starting or buying Network Marketing companies! The truth is...Network Marketing is the smart way to go – and it would be smart to at least evaluate it right now even if this isn’t a good time for you to get started!

I have been asked many times how to know which Network Marketing companies are for real and which is the best.

That’s a great question! When I realize that Roger Barnett spent 5 years – and $20 Million – to find the answer to that, I find it mind boggling!

I can’t even imagine how thorough he must have been to spend that kind of time and money just researching to find the best company.

He wanted to know what industries were in the front of the growth curve, and the first one was the wellness industry. He wanted to know what segment of the industry would have the greatest growth potential and that turned out to be a few segments, nutrition, weight, environmental products, skin care and beauty products.

He researched over 70 different companies evaluating their products, their mix, the marketing plans, and most especially their scientific qualifications to produce the products.

What Roger found is ...The Company That Virtually Invented The
Coming Trillion-Dollar Wellness Industry…Shaklee!

That’s right, he found the company that virtually invented this industry over 50 years ago. Shaklee was the very first natural wellness company in America.

The company Roger spent 5 years – and $20 Million – finding...is the same company that virtually invented this industry 50 years ago!

I figure that after spending all that time and money searching, if there had been a better company, anywhere out there, he would have bought it instead of Shaklee.
