Strange Lawyer.

A lawyer named Strange died. His friend asked the tombstone maker to inscribe on his tombstone, “Here lies Strange, an honest man, and a lawyer.” The inscriber insisted that such an inscription would be confusing, those passing by would think three men were buried there.

The inscriber suggested an alternative: He inscribed, “Here lies a man who was honest and a lawyer.”

Whenever anyone walked by the tombstone and read it, they would be certain to remark: “That’s Strange!”

The 3rd Alternative – Solving Life’s Most Difficult Problems, by Stephen R. Covey


In any conflict, the First Alternative is my way, and the Second Alternative is your way. The fight always boils down to a question of whose way is better. This book presents a new and practical, but incredibly effective and eye-opening, way to reach resolution through using the 'Third Alternative'. The Third Alternative moves beyond your way or my way to a higher and better way - one that allows both parties to emerge from debate or even heated conflict in a far better place than either had envisioned.

Hear Dr. Covey briefly discuss his latest book released this month:

What It Takes To Succeed - by Jim Rohn


When starting any business, whether it is full-time or part-time, we all know the value of having plenty of capital or money... And yet I bet we both know—or at least have heard of—people who started with no capital and then went on to make fortunes. How is this possible?
Well, I believe there are actually ten things more valuable than capital which can lead to your entrepreneurial success. Let me give you the list...

Time.

Time is more valuable than capital. The time you set aside not to be wasted, not to be given away. Time you set aside to be invested in an enterprise that brings value to the marketplace with the hope of making a profit. Now we have capital time.

How valuable is time? Time properly invested is worth a fortune. Time wasted can be devastation. Time invested can perform miracles, so make sure you invest your time.

Desperation.

I have a friend, Lydia, whose first major investment in her new enterprise was desperation. She said, "My kids are hungry, I've got to make this work... If this doesn't work, what will I do?" So she invested $10 in her enterprise selling a product she believed in. The $10 was to buy a few flyers so she could make a sale at retail, collect the money and then buy the product wholesale to deliver back to the customer.

My friend Bill Bailey went to Chicago as a teenager after he got out of high school. And the first job he got was as a night janitor. Someone said, "Bill, why would you settle for night janitor?" He said, "Malnutrition." You work at whatever you can possibly get when you're hungry. Years later, now Bill is a recipient of the Horatio Alger award— rich and powerful, and one of the great examples of lifestyle that I know. But remember, his first job—night janitor. Desperation can be a powerful incentive. When you say, "I must...."

Determination.

Determination says, "I will..." First Lydia said, "I must find a customer." Desperation. Second, she said, "I will find someone before this first day is over." Sure enough, she found someone. She said, "If it works once, it will work again." Then the next person said, "No!" Now what must you invest?

Courage.

Courage is more valuable than capital. If you've only got $10 and a lot of courage, I'm telling you, you've got a good future ahead of you. Courage in spite of the circumstances... Humans can do the most incredible things no matter what happens. Haven't we heard the stories? There are some recent ones from Kosovo that are some of the most classic, unbelievable stories of being in the depths of hell and finally making it out. It's humans. You can't sell humans short. Courage in spite of—not because of—but in spite of... Now once Lydia has made three or four sales and gotten things going, here's what now takes over.

Ambition.

"Wow! If I can sell three, I can sell 33. If I can sell 33, I can sell 103." Wow. Lydia is now dazzled by her own dreams of the future.

Faith.

Now she begins to believe she's got a good product. This is probably a good company. And she then starts to believe in herself. Lydia, single mother, two kids, no job. "My gosh, I'm going to pull it off!" Her self-esteem starts to soar. These are investments that are unmatched. Now here is the next one, the reason why she's a millionaire today.

Ingenuity.

Putting your brains to work. Probably up until now, you've put about 1/10 of your brainpower to work. What if you employed the other 9/10? You can't believe what can happen. Humans can come up with the most intriguing things to do. Ingenuity. What's ingenuity worth? A fortune. It is more valuable than money. All you need is $10 and plenty of ingenuity.

Heart and Soul.

What is a substitute for heart and soul? It's not money. Money can't buy heart and soul. Heart and soul is more valuable than a million dollars. A million dollars without heart and soul, you have no life. You are ineffective. Heart and soul is like the unseen magic that moves people, moves people to buy, moves people to make decisions, moves people to act, moves people to respond.

Personality.

You've just got to spruce up and sharpen up your own personality. You've got plenty of personality. Just get it developed to where it is effective every day—it's effective no matter whom you talk to—whether it is to a child or whether it is to a businessperson. A unique personality that is at home anywhere.

My mentor Bill Bailey taught me, "You've got to learn to be just as comfortable, Mr. Rohn, whether it is in a little shack in Kentucky having a beer and watching the fights with Winfred, my old friend, or in a Georgian mansion in Washington, D.C. as the Senator's guest." Move with ease whether it is with the rich or whether it is with the poor. And it makes no difference to you who is rich or who is poor. A chance to have a unique relationship with whomever. The kind of personality that's comfortable. The kind of personality that's not bent out of shape.

Charisma and Sophistication.

And lastly, let's not forget charisma and sophistication... Becoming the person you want, while attracting other like-minded individuals into your ever-improving life.

This entire list is more valuable than money. With ten dollars and the list I just gave you, the world is yours. It belongs to you, whatever piece of it you desire, whatever level of excellence you wish for your life. I've given you the secret. What you choose to do with it is up to you....

To Your Success,

Jim Rohn

Remember a jet plane...

Sometimes we need to be reminded to talk to people, to a lot of people, about the products and business!

Remember a jet plane loaded with fuel, passengers, and destination already determined, will consume 80% of the runway before it ever gets off the ground. But those jet engines are all systems go! Some of us are just strolling down the runway—talking to one person this week and maybe another person next week—at that rate, all you will ever accomplish is to run out of runway and quit the business!
















Can you talk to the number of people in the picture above - in one day? Of course you can. Do it today and see what a difference it makes to your business. Do it every day for the next 30 days and you'll have one of the fastest growing groups in your company.

September 2011 Leadership Book of the Month.

The Unthinkable - by Amanda Ripley. Who Survives When Disaster Strikes - And Why.


My brother Steve just gave me this book and I thought it was timely as we approach the 10 year anniversary of 9/11. He's been through major natural disasters (like Hurricane Ike three years ago this month.) Many of you have experienced similar disasters and some even worse.

He has read the book extensively several times and marked up every page of his personal copy, so I figured I better read it. I suggest you do the same.

Have a great September!

Rule of 5


by Michael S. Clouse


The Sponsoring Rule of Five. And if you're serious about your success, give it a try—because the results will astound you...



1. Only sponsor those people with whom you would like to become friends.

This is simple and to the point. After all, if you don't want them in your home, why would you want them in your business?

2. Invest your time with those you personally sponsor.

Get to know them for who they are, and for who they want to become. You should understand the circumstances, needs, and dreams of everyone you personally bring into the business.

3. Set up a game plan and follow through.

Without the architectural blueprint, or plan, the building would not be built. And without your commitment to complete the task, even the smallest goal is wasted. Prepare a game plan with those you enroll, and then commit to partnering with them to achieve their desired end result.

4. Talk with those you sponsor every week.

Successful business-builders talk with their team. They're interested. And over time, this simple talking-with-your-team technique will have you doing business with those you know well.

5. Become close personal friends inside and outside the business.

People may choose to leave a business, but nobody chooses to leave a friend. Because Network Marketing is about creating a fabulous lifestyle, make sure you enjoy yours with those you sponsor along the way.

The Sponsoring Rule of Five... Now that's how to create a global business! -Gary Hasson

Starting Your New People Right.

For years now I’ve been saying the same thing: You make or break your new team members in the first two weeks. And the first 48 hours is critical.

There are two big issues that come into play here…

Number one is overcoming inertia. Objects at rest tend to stay at rest. Objects in motion tend to stay in motion. It’s vital to get your new people into action immediately: making their candidate list, their first invitations and getting prospects to presentations.

Number two is overcoming fear. When a new team member isn’t moving, their imagination runs wild. And because most people are infected with so many lack and limiting beliefs, they start to make up images of all the bad things that might happen to them.

They’ll start imagining the rejections they’re going to experience and if this happens over a couple weeks, the perception turns to reality in their mind. They may attend some events, but they never invite anyone and will eventually drop out.

When you design your system, you must have some kind of structured “fast start” training. Think of it as a new member orientation. This should guide the new people through things like ordering their marketing materials, setting up their business, making their list, inviting, and scheduling their first presentations. Don’t leave this to interpretation. Have it written down, in a video, an audio, or all three. -Randy Gage

How About The Truth?

A man stands in front of that rectangular shaped, nuclear-particle device some call a microwave, mumbling under his breath, "Come on, come on, why is this thing taking so long?" All I can do is shake my head, and wonder if anyone ever informed our got-to have-it-yesterday guy the reason we call it a lunch hour?

Well, the lunch hour is one thing, but now this "instant mentality" has found its way into Network Marketing. And what’s worse is that more than a few distributors have bought into this "Get rich overnight! I did. So can you!" ridiculously misguided belief.

Personally, aren't you a bit tired of the all the half-truths, exaggerations, and lies being perpetuated in our industry? And yet, we see them every day—hundreds of unsolicited e-mails, countless ads in opportunity seekers magazines, and even the occasional postcard—all promising instant riches, and no downline to build, because they will do all the work for you! Just complete the simple on-line application—include your credit card number to cover your required sucker fee—sit back and relax. Easy street here you come! The promise of no work, massive income, and all with zero risk. What could be better than that?

How about the truth?

If you really want to build a long-term successful business in Network Marketing this is what you will need to do:

1. Invest eight to ten hours per week, one Saturday per month, and one weekend per quarter over the next two to five years.
Follow the proven business plan and you should be able to replace your full-time income. After that, the sky's the limit.

2. Start sharing the business with your friends, family, and business associates. Tell the story, show the plan, and then ask your prospects if they would like to start dreaming again. After all, successful business-builders know we sell more dreams than all our products put together!

How to Increase Your IQ: Implementation Quotient

How do leaders accomplish more than others? And how do they achieve great things with others? I believe a leader's success is due to his or her IQ: implementation quotient. That is the difference between common knowledge and consistent application. Implementation isn't just about having good ideas; it is about acting on them.

In a longitudinal study by Fortune magazine, 70% of CEO failure was because of his or her failure to deliver results. Many leaders start with grandiose visions but depart their positions with dreams unfulfilled.

If you desire to achieve more, you can easily increase your IQ. Here's how to do it:

1) Dream big.

Don't become a victim of puny dreams. Not only will those dreams fail to compel others to action, they will also fail to ignite and maintain your own passion.

Little dreams are almost as bad as no dreams at all. My friend Erwin McManus says it well: If you're big enough for your dreams, your dreams aren't big enough for you. Dreams should challenge us, not comfort us.

2) Plan small.

This step is critical. Once you have the dream, you need the details. That requires asking four key questions.

What compelling reasons do we have for doing this? The power to achieve any goal lies in the purpose behind it. Compelling reasons are the fuel of motivation.

What needs to be done? Identify the specific steps and components of the project that cumulatively are necessary for success?

Who will do what? Identify who is specifically responsible for each piece of the project. This is essential to create accountability. Many projects have failed because everybody thought somebody else was doing what needed to be done.

When will things get done? The timeline for a project is another aspect of accountability. The goal is timely completion. By developing a timeline of completion, it is easy to track progress towards the goal.

3) Work together.

Encourage and appreciate the people on your team. If you've "planned small," each team member knows what he or she is responsible for doing. Track individual progress and regress, and monitor the timeline.

Make people are accountable for results rather than activity. People can look busy and accomplish little. Measure what you treasure-results.

4) Keep striving.

Jean-Pierre Rampal, a renowned flautist, said, "There are nights I go out and play a piece perfectly. Then the next night, I go out and play it better."

As you and your team execute the plan, be on the lookout for "better practices." Many organizations search for "best practices." The problem, however, is that once a "best practice" has been identified, most people quit looking for ways to improve. Today's best practice is next month's passé practice. As you strive for completion, keep looking for ways to do things better.

And if things get off track, convert discouragement into determination by focusing on what has gone right, and what can be done to address what has gone wrong. Complaining identifies obstacles, but leadership overcomes them.

5) Implement boldly.

Remember that people will be watching your performance. How you act will greatly influence their enthusiasm and commitment. The quality of one's performance is the best indicator of his or her commitment and belief.

Whatever you choose to do, do it like there is nothing else you would rather be doing.

When you do, you'll find that you will achieve the kind of results that most people only dream of attaining.

Prospecting is the single most important activity in any business.

Prospecting is the single most important activity in any business. If you don't like making prospecting calls, get over it. No matter what, you must make prospecting calls every day. On the days when you cannot find the time to prospect, make one call anyway.

One of the keys to success of enrolling others is to understand that not everyone will be interested in what we have to offer, and we should not waste our time with those people who do not have an interest. We need to focus our time on the people who do have an interest. Simply put, you are looking for the right people at the right time in their lives that are open to learning about your business and/or products.

We are looking for those who are looking.

“When you face a problem, solve it then and there if you have the facts necessary to make a decision. Don't keep putting off decisions.”

- Dale Carnegie
Often by ignoring problems, we allow them to grow. Resolution should be quick so that problems do not become overwhelming. While the problem is still relatively small, attempt to decipher exactly what would be needed to have it resolved for good. Ascertaining this information before you begin is actually the first step to ensuring that the problem is rendered powerless. Acting quickly will also guarantee that the problem hasn't gotten completely out of hand. Here are a few tips on effective problem solving:

-Get all the facts

-Weigh all the facts - then come to a decision

-Once a decision is reached - ACT!!

-Answer the following questions:
What is the problem?
What are the causes of the problem?
What are the possible solutions?
What is the best possible solution?

Unlock Your Inborn Creativity


Imagination is more important than facts. —Albert Einstein
Here is some more good news. You are a potential genius. You are smarter than you have ever imagined. You have more raw brainpower and creative ability than you have ever used up to now.
Your brain has 10 billion cells, each of which is connected to as many as 20,000 other cells by a complex network of neurons and dendrites. This means that the possible combinations and permutations of cells in your brain are greater than the number of molecules in the known universe. Your ability to develop ideas to help you succeed is unlimited. This means that your ability to succeed is unlimited as well.
Your creativity is stimulated by three factors: first, intensely desired goals; second, pressing problems; and third, focused questions. The more you focus your mind on achieving your goals, solving your problems, or answering the tough questions about your business and personal life, the smarter you become and the better your mind works for you in the future.
Your brain, your creativity, is like a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger and more resilient it becomes. You can actually increase your intelligence and your IQ by disciplining yourself tothink creatively all day long. And remember, creativity is just another word for "improvement." Every time you come up with an idea to improve some part of your work, to find newer, better, faster, cheaper, or easier ways to accomplish a result, you are functioning at the highest level of creativity.
Just as you develop your muscles by straining them with physical training, you develop your mental muscles by straining them as well. Here is an exercise for you to develop your brainpower and unlock your inner genius...
Take a clean sheet of paper and write your most important goal or most pressing problem at the top in the form of a question. For example, you could write "How can I double my income over the next 24 to 36 months?"
Now, discipline yourself to write at least 20 different answers to your question. Select one of your answers and take action on it immediately. You will be amazed at the results.
Action Exercise: Write down your most pressing problem or your most intensely desired goal. Then, imagine that this problem was solved perfectly or this goal was achieved in an ideal way. What would the solution or achievement look like? What could you do immediately to bring about this result? Remember, action is everything!
Continued success,
Brian Tracy

Sharing the Business with Confidence
By Gary Hasson

We are in a enormous struggle for our freedom. From the dawn of mankind’s history, it has always been so. Good and evil have always been with us and so has the right to choose between them. I want to share some thoughts about the Network Marketing profession and standing firm for the truth. We don’t have to defend or justify anything when we base our position on the truth and the facts and history of our profession.

I observe how others view Network Marketing as I meet with people each week inside and outside our profession. I have long been interested in this subject ever since I started in the business back in 1990. Knowing how people see us is an important part of understanding how best to explain ourselves. One particular finding in my research concerns me. Some participants in Network Marketing appear very defensive to those who are not yet involved in our business. One friend of mine went as far as to say that when someone was explaining network marketing to him, their language and word selection suggested they were expecting criticism.

This was not the first time I had heard this observation. But the more I have thought about it, the more I understand how easy it is, if we are not careful, to convey a sense of defensiveness in our communication with others.

I think I understand why this may occur on occasion. In 1975, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) accused Amway of operating as an illegal pyramid scheme. Schemes were common in the day and they still are in most parts of the world. I believe no legal ruling has had more impact on the direct sales industry than the FTC vs. Amway decision. After four years of litigation, in 1979, Amway prevailed. The judge ruled that Amway's Multilevel Marketing program was a legal business as opposed to an illegal pyramid scheme.
Amway's triumph paved the way for thousands of network marketing companies to follow. So momentous was the decision that for the last 30 plus years, the FTC has focused on deceptive practices of Network Marketing companies such as earnings representations or medical claims rather than attacking the actual structure of legitimate Network Marketing companies. We all owe Amway a debt of gratitude.


Yet there have been those who have reacted negatively, even with hostility, to our business over the years. The more our business grew, the more it seemed to attract hostility. And yet this isn’t 1975, and there aren’t just a handful of companies anymore. Could part of the defensiveness that others sometimes see in us suggest that we still expect to be treated as a disliked minority, still under legal attack? In our interactions with others, are we expecting always to have to defend ourselves? If so, I think we need to make a course correction. 

Constantly anticipating criticism or objections can lead to an unhealthy self-consciousness and a defensive posture that doesn’t resonate well with others. It is inconsistent with where we are today as a profession and as a great body of professionals.

In my faith, I look to Jesus Christ as our exemplar. He faced tremendous hostility from the outset of His ministry. When He first preached in the synagogues at Nazareth, some wanted to throw Him off a cliff (see Luke 4:28–29). Yet He did not allow Himself to be intimidated. He knew that for the most part He would be misunderstood. Yet He was fearless in declaring His gospel, using such phrases such as “Ye have heard that it was said … , but I say unto you …” (Matthew 5:21–22). He knew what He wanted to say, and He said it without apology. As the scriptures say, “He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes” (Matthew 7:29).

If we want to be respected today for who we are, then we need to act confidently—secure in the knowledge of who we are and what we stand for and not as if we had to apologize for our beliefs. That doesn’t mean we should be arrogant or overbearing. Respect for others’ views should always be a basic principle for us. But when we act as if we are a persecuted minority or as if we expect to be misunderstood or criticized, people will sense it and respond accordingly.

I look forward and greatly appreciate every opportunity to share the benefits of our profession with others. The freedom that my family & I enjoy is something I could never measure in financial terms. And I cannot ever remember offending anyone in the process.

One of the reasons that this subject is relevant today is because our profession is getting stronger. The global statistics are impressive. Network marketing professionals are everywhere—in communities from coast to coast and from north to south. It is becoming more and more common for people to know someone personally who is having great success in our business. I believe that as we remain honest, open, forthright, engaging, respectful of others’ views, and completely nondefensive about our own, this growth and positive image will increase.

Here are two suggestions for how to engage in conversations nondefensively.

1. Don’t let irrelevant issues drown out more important subjects.

Members in our profession have often allowed others to set the conversational agenda. An example is the idea that network marketing is a “pyramid scheme”. This issue was settled in 1979. It’s now 2010! Why are we still talking about it? It was settled in a U.S. Federal Court that network marketing is a legitimate business and legal method of distribution. End of story. Let’s move on. If people ask you about pyramid schemes, let them know they exist, but to not confuse them with our business.

In ordinary conversations, don’t waste time trying to justify what we do. I think we simply reinforce stereotypes when we make negative comments a primary topic of conversations about the profession. Sometimes these conversations are triggered by stories that appear in the media. In September of 1991, 18 months after my wife Melissa & I joined NuSkin, Mr. Steve Lund, NuSkin’s General Counsel at the time was on Nightline defending the company, which had been wrongly accused of being an illegal pyramid scheme. Interviews with disgruntled distributors were aired and the interview was sensationalized and one sided. It hurt NuSkin temporarily, but the truth prevailed and today NuSkin is one of the most respected companies in our profession, publically traded and doing around 1.5 billion in sales each year.

If we allow critics and opponents to choose the ground on which the network marketing battles are fought, we would risk being distracted from the focus and mission we have pursued successfully for over 50 years. Instead, we will determine our own course and continue to spread free enterprise throughout the world.

2. Emphasize why you chose to participate in the Network Marketing Profession.

When all is said and done, the most important thing we can discuss are the things that matter most to our candidate and the reasons you chose this profession. This is our foundation. Whenever we are having a conversation about the business, we should try to make this a point. We need to discover their dreams and goals and help them realize they are attainable here.
We don’t have to defend or justify anything when we base our position on the reasons why we joined the business. Please remember that you do not need to feel that you must justify your reasons or beliefs; you simply need to explain them in a spirit of professionalism and kindness. The truth always prevails when true principles are discussed.

Here are a few of the reasons I joined network marketing:

1. Leverage. In our business we get paid on the successes of others. The more people you help, the greater your income. One of my college professors was Stephen R. Covey. When I discovered this profession in 1990, I couldn’t think of another business where the Win-Win philosophy he teaches was more prevalent.

2. Freedom. The network marketing profession has allowed my family to live our lives on our terms. Yes, there’s a price to pay for freedom, as there is for anything of value. My wife Melissa & I value peace and serenity. So we paid the price. Thanks to this profession, we live where we want to live, with little traffic, smog, noise or crime. We value education and a safe environment for our children. So we paid the price. Our six children now all go to schools and colleges we choose. True freedom and balance in our lives is what we are grateful for most! Are you willing to pay the price for that which is of value to you?

And finally, I don’t know anyone who has ever achieved long-term success who wasn’t disciplined. One of the most successful leaders I know in our profession, Todd Smith in Florida, taught me discipline is: “doing the things you know you should do, everyday, even when you don’t feel like doing it.” It is just this simple.

May God bless us in our pursuits for happiness and freedom by engaging others in conversations about this incredible profession of network marketing without being defensive.

Public Speaking.

To significantly reduce nervousness follow the three E's:

Should I advertise for prospects?

You passed 100 billboards today. 

How many messages do you remember? Probably none. 

You saw ads in the newspaper, spam ads in your email, junk mail in your mailbox, and heard 100 radio advertisements. 

None of these marketing methods are as powerful as what you have: 

Word-of-mouth advertising. 

Large companies would love to have the power and effectiveness of what we take for granted. Person-to-person recommendations work. 

You have the advantage over big corporations who have to resort to these other weaker mass marketing messages. 

Why not use your advantage instead of trying to compete with the million-dollar war chest of some large company? 

Looking for more leads, prospects and distributors???



Open your mouth.

Knowing The Difference.


Knowing the difference between what you control, and what you influence.  And then how to take action on the things you actually do control and do something about.  But it’s so easy to get off track with distractions…


Some people from my company left recently.  Immediately I started getting breathless calls and urgent emails from people in other companies wanting to know details.  Bloggers and YouTubers wanted comments from me so they could get the story straight.  Basically I told them all the same thing:
Since they all claim to be building in the business, I wanted to know how this had anything to do with their business.  Most would stutter and stammer and mumble something about how they wanted to get the facts straight or something similar.  But I’d ask again, “What does this have to do with you building your business?’
Of course the answer is “nothing,” and of course I was wasting my breath even going there.  Because the real reason people wanted to know about this is because they love to gossip.  And gossip is just a distraction.  As a leader your job is to kill distractions and keep your people focused.
Focused on:
Product culture
Meeting people
Working the candidate list
Inviting
Getting to presentations
Follow up
Promoting the next event.
That’s where the business is built!  So how you doing on that?

Three Feet From Gold.


One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when you are overtaken by temporary defeat. Every person is guilty of this mistake at one time or another. An uncle of R. U. Darby was caught by the Gold Fever in the gold rush days and went west to dig and get rich. He had never heard that more gold had been mined from the brains of men than has ever been taken from the earth. He staked a claim and went to work with pick and shovel. The going was hard, but his lust for gold was definite. 

After weeks of labor, he was rewarded by the discovery of the shining ore. He needed machinery to bring the ore to the surface. Quietly, he covered up the mine, retraced his footsteps to his home in Williamsburg, Maryland, and told his relatives and a few neighbors of the strike. They got together money for the needed machinery and had it shipped. The uncle and Darby went back to work the mine.

The first car of ore was mined, and shipped to smelter. The returns showed they had one of the richest mines in Colorado! A few more cars of that ore would clear the debts. Then would come the big killing in profits. Down went the drills. Up went the hopes of Darby and uncle. Then something happened. The vein of gold ore disappeared. They had come to the end of the rainbow, and the pot of gold was no longer there. They drilled on, desperately trying to pick up the vein again – all to no avail.

Finally they decided to QUIT.

They sold the machinery to a junk man for a few hundred dollars, and took the train back home. Some junk men are dumb, but not this one. He called in a mining engineer to look at the mine and do a little calculating. The engineer advised that the project had failed, because the owners were not familiar with fault lines. His calculations showed that the vein would be found Just Three Feet From Where The Darby’s Had Stopped Drilling. That is exactly where it was found.

The Junk man took millions of dollars in ore from the mine, because he knew enough to seek counsel before giving up.

You joined the network marketing profession for a reason. Don't quit when success is just around the corner!
