I read a great book back about 1980. Don’t remember the title, but it was about luck. Why are people lucky? How does luck happen? Can a cause be pinpointed? What makes lucky people different from unlucky people?
The author talked to a lot of people, those who considered themselves lucky and those who didn’t. He’d find out what had happened in their lives, and he chronicled their incidents of luck.
And then he looked at differences & similarities of the people he’d interviewed, and he came to a conclusion.
His conclusion was a revelation:
Luck Is NOT Random!
It’s the result of what the author called the “spiderweb effect.”
People who build webs tend to be lucky. People who don’t build webs tend not to be lucky.
In other words … the more contacts you make in life … the more relationships you build … the fewer bridges you burn … the greater the universe of people who have strong positive feeling for you … the more people you reach out to help … the more likely you are to be lucky.
Isn’t that fascinating? The biggest conclusion to me is that YOU are in control of your own luck!
How To Catch Flies
Amazing, isn’t it? To be lucky, just put out thin lines and thick lines … to people here, there and everywhere.
Doesn’t this make perfect sense? The more contacts you have, the more likely you’ll be in the right place at the right time. In other words, when one of your contacts runs into a huge opportunity that would be perfect for you, chances are good they’ll call YOU.
But if you never make that contact, you’ll never hear about the opportunity.
And if you don’t make spiderwebbing a systematic lifetime habit, chances are, no one will call you about opportunities. You’ll be one of those people who suffers a lifetime of bad luck.
So build your web continuously, and you greatly increase your chance of being in the path when good things happen.
There’s an old saying, “The harder I work, the luckier I get.” It’s true. Especially if you work at building relationships.
Study People And Build Your Web
Linda & I have been involved in MLM since 1978, full-time since 1991. We’ve made lifelong friends, and we’ve built a good income.
Along the way, we’ve seen enormous change in the MLM industry.
In my opinion, your best, least expensive, most-likely-to-work solution is to study people. Study people, and use what you learn to BUILD YOUR SPIDERWEB NOW!!
Obviously, there is no guarantee against catastrophe. But your best protection is to create a huge network of people who you have helped and who feel a kinship & loyalty to you.
We can help you do that. Creating our own giant spiderweb has given us everything we want in life.
So learn what to do. Then build it once, build it right, cherish it and care for it, and it will last and sustain you throughout your lifetime.
The good news is that all the bad news opens a huge opportunity for you.
Now … you must TRULY desire to help others.
You can’t fake it. You either have it or you don’t. People know. Truly caring about others breaks down barriers. As Zig Ziglar said, “You can have everything in life you want, if you help enough other people get what they want.”
Trust is the emotion of network marketing. You have to earn it. It comes from consistently doing what’s best for your people.
So first, you need people. Which means you must get very good at building personal relationships.
“Heart” Decisions v “Head” Decisions
“Heart” decisions run deeper & last longer than “head” decisions. Direct marketing relationships based on money & product disappear when a competitor upgrades product or lowers price.
But network marketing habits based on higher motivations & emotional connections last a lifetime.
If you want to inspire people to learn, grow, develop, succeed, and be all they can be, we can help.
In the end, you must have or develop your own skills & knowledge. And no matter what the future may bring for your company, so long as you gain relationship skills & knowledge, your income is more secure.
If you’ve started to build your web, and you’ve treated people right … then if something unexpected happens to ruin a business, your people will follow you to a new one.
THAT is security.
We Appreciate You
