We were at church on Sunday and the pastor had just started the sermon and the first slide on the overhead projector is The Beatles album cover for "All You Need is Love".
By this time, I am a little baffled at what the Beatles had to do with scriptures given their somewhat wild background. The scripture the pastor is talking about pertains to the meaning of love and what it really means. Most people associate love with romantic or erotic meanings. The kind of love the scriptures are talking about is unconditional whether it is your or someone elses feelings and ills.
The pastor begins to tell a story about a widowed man:
A women gets home from work one afternoon to find out that her next door neighbor's wife had just died at the hospital the night before. She decides to make some brownies for the old man next door, as is customary in the area of the country she lives in. Some time goes by and and the brownies are finished baking and the mother calls her young son to take the brownies to the man next door. The son heads out across the yard to the neighbors. Almost 2 hours go by and the mother is starting to worry that something has happened to her son since he hasn't returned. She decides to go and look for him and finds her son in the arms of the old widow sitting on the front porch in a rocking chair. She gets within seeing distance and notices that her son and the man are very upset and crying. Hastily the mother asks her son what the problem is. Her son turns to her and says "There is nothing wrong mother, I am helping him in his mourning."
This story provides a vivid definition of the preacher's lesson pertaining to the true meaning of love. When you feel someones pain as if it were your own, you have experienced true love. When I heard the tale and began thinking about the meaning, I had an epiphany of how this applies not only to mlm success, but success in our lives as well.
The key to your success in mlm and life is not and will not be measured in the dollars, conversions, the size of your downline, or website traffic count. It will be measured in your ability to connect with people and truly and genuinely care for and want to help them. You can't be a phony because people have great intuition and will read right through you.
When a prospect contacts you now, how do you treat them? Like an email address or potential sale? If this is how you act, you need to be thinking about another line of business and be prepared to struggle through life. Stop focusing on the systems and products and start focusing on the one thing that no one can experience success without: The People.
Look at the market you are trying to focus on. Do you realize that whether you are in network marketing, MLM, or the Home business market that your success or failure depends on your relationship building skills and not your product or opportunity offerings? Stop writing headlines on your blogs, articles, or videos that focus on what your system can do. If you don't you might as well find another source of income.
Become a leader and you will attract more people than you can handle. Take a real interest in how people are feeling and you will more problems handling the amount of leads coming to you than you will experiencing MLM success. Zig Zigglar said it best, "You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want!"
