Which One Are You?
I was recently told this story about two successful shoe salesmen from competing companies who were assigned by their firms to sell shoes in the territory of Africa.
- The first shoe salesman boarded the plane and headed into his new territory unsure what to expect, but hopeful that this venture would be a success. His plane safely arrived in Africa and the shoe salesman immediately began his assessment of his new wide open market. It was less then an hour of the shoe salesman’s arrival to Africa when he quickly phoned back to his headquarters and requested the first flight out and back to the states, explaining to his boss “I can’t sell shoes here! Nobody wears them, everyone is barefoot!”
- The second shoe salesman hopped on the plane anxious to see what awaited him in Africa. He expected a challenge but was "optimistic" about this new opportunity. After a safe landing the shoe salesman grabbed his bags and quickly became thrilled at what he observed. The shoe salesman quickly dialed up his headquarters and demanded to speak to his boss, he said “I can’t believe what I’m seeing, send me an assortment of ten thousand pairs of shoes immediately! Everyone is barefoot over here!”
As I prepared my Sunday School lesson this morning, I was reminded of that story. You see, we all have visions but sometime we allow our visions to be obstructed by what we see now or what we have seen in the past.
The value of visions lies in the ability to challenge, change, charge, and chart. Visions provide the foresight and insight that propel us forward, keep us on track, and enable us to see what is coming down the road of life and where we are going. The vision is a "push" and a "pull."
There are many programs on the internet that promises great riches/wealth and they often paint a picture of simplicity and urgency. "Make money right now - No Work Required".
Well, we all know that story and we know it all too well.....
Let's re-visit the two shoe salesmen. If both shoe salesmen went to the same country and both saw the same things, why did they have two different visions? (Please answer in your comments)
I want to present to each reader of this article the opportunity to visualize yourself making $5,120 per month with a $5 one time investment opportunity. This is not a get rich quick scheme, it will not come without work on your part and it will not happen just because you are on my team.
However, it will happen if you can visualize yourself building relationships and sharing the "opportunity" with potential business partners that may "share" the same vision.
We have to stop allowing other people's visions to become our visions - other people's dreams to become our dreams. We can be dreaming about the same things or visualizing the same things but be sure that it's your dream or vision and not someone else's dream or vision.
I am working toward my vision of making over $5,120 per month by building a relationship with you the reader of this article and sharing an AMAZING opportunity with you, a potential business partner that prayerfully "share" the same vision.
Remember, vision is a "push" and a "pull". If I am going to "push" you toward MY vision, I need to be willing to "pull" you up to YOUR vision.
No promises!! But if you do your part, we all can achieve our "visions".
Which shoe salesman are you?
Can you visualize the potential in this program? http://www.mybwbsite.com/4940164/c2
Believe it or not, I have a vision for all of us and if we all work together, we all can share in each other's visions.
Special Note: What makes this program different than other feeder programs is the 100% matching sponsor bonus.
Because your sponsor (me), get paid 100% from your production in the force matrix, your sponsor (me) will continue to share the opportunity with others and that will in turn cause you to benefit from your sponsor's efforts. WE ALL WIN!!

Realistically, they had No Shoes. Shoe Salesmen sale shoes... Perfect opportunity to sell lots of shoes.... My point exactly!!

In that case the first salesman would have been the right one because he had correctly assessed situation realistically!!!!

The salesman who made sales is better, than the one who went to states.
and $5 one time payment is okay.

Bravo John, great story. In this business operating in fear, and seeing the boogie man behind every opportunity will certainly hold you back. Dare to dream big! Team work makes dreams work! You know Robert Kiyosaki says there is a difference in the way the rich and poor think. With a poor mans mind set when something is offered to us we will look at it and say, "how much does it cost?" With am millionaires mind set we will look and say, "how much will it make me?"

Thanks for your review. and you are right but you also have to remember the key is assessing the situation.... My assessment would have lead me to know that they didn't eat meat and I make my decision base on that and not trying to force meat on them... I hope that we can remember that when assessing a situation, we have to look at all of the varables and when they make sense...(like OneX) we have to act on it and act on it aggressively. Pros has to out weigh the Cons.... Pros = 100 and Co

This is a great story about Making what you want to make of what you see. And we should always strive to see the positive but we need to also make sure that we are seeing realistically. And that is the problem in many cases right now, desperation making people see things through rose tinted glasses.
To borrow your story and switch it up just a bit to prove my point suppose these two salesmen sold beef and they landed in a country of strict vegetarians who do not eat meat because it is again

Great "glass half empty, half full" story. Lessons like this always make me think of people with handicaps who do great things that able-bodied individuals never achieve.
Thanks for the inspiration Commissioner!

Its all about the vision. Keep your eyes on the prize and try not to build to many walls. Am I right?

No! Thank you. I really appreciate your comment. I love your signature "To help as many people as I can who are willing to take action and attain success". That was pretty much summary of my entire article. I would really like to add you to my pre-launch team for One
X. I am looking for some quality marketers that understand that if we all do our part, we all will have massive success. God Bless!

The problem today is that people see impossibilities more than they see possibilities. The current economic crisis in the world is being capitalized by a few to create more wealth, while a vast majority are looking at the negative aspect of it. For people to move forward, they need to change the way they see challenges; face it, fight it, and definitely overcome it. Thanks for sharing this.
