Hmmm am I missing something?


I take the van pool to and from work - yes I am still at my job - I LOVE TECHNOLOGY!!
As I commute, I sit and listen to the numerous conversations going on around me... "Man, I hate my job", "My pay stinks", "I am tired of getting up every morning", "I wish I could sleep in", "I don't always get my vacation day requests"... so on and so forth...

So I am geeked I am thinking what a wonderful opportunity to share TraVerus with them... so I begin to follow the 3 step process... get their contact information - I do this and send them our presentation... Followup with prospect - I do this and get "Well I really don't like to sell", "I don't have the time", "I don't like bothering my friends and family", "I don't have $99", "This is a pyramid scheme"... on and on and on and on...

So as I get off the phone I am flabbergasted - I think to myself - did I hear them correctly? This is an opportunity of a life time... It is easy money! It is a no-brainer! Why wouldn't someone want to travel all over the world (because we all know everyone travels and takes vacations) and get PAID!!

I am offering my personal time to help them build a legacy... It so easy!

I then realize that I need to get myself out of the way... when I follow-up with my prospects and pass them to my up line - they know how to appeal to the prospect - I do this and find it difficult to get in contact with any of my up lines b/c they are busy building for EVERYONE!

I am keep on pressing - God presents us with opportunities and it is our responsibility to work them... nothing gained easily is worth having!

I am going to remain positive... and stand on God's Word, [Do]"...not rely on ourselves but on God"!

David Bly says it best "Striving for success without hard work is like trying to harvest where you haven't planted"
