Are you a successful orchard owner?

Come on, is the story of the life of every networker not one waiting to hear people referring to you as Mister (or Miss) Networker? Why? Because that's what ambition is all about and it would be an acknowledgement that you qualify as being in the league of orchard owners... uhh, sorry, very successful networkers. Your income will dazzle those around you and life will be sweet, but you will never get there..... unless you learn and understand the concept of growing an orchard....

We all know when you plant a baby fruit tree, you would look after it, provide nurture, protection and assistance until it's strong enough to stand by itself and you will even understand that it will take a while before it produces fruit. But in it's own time it'll yield fruit, almost as if by itself. This is the same process you need too understand is at work when you decide to join a networking or MLM group... a new member is planted when they decide to trust your word and join your team.... you should now look after them, take an interest in them and help them grow, until it's reasonable to expect it's time to become a producing member.

Look at your young trees (imagine you had some) and let's see if we can agree that it males sense to do some watering, weeding, pruning and caring and for the real good producing ones, even on an ongoing basis. This is the only way to ensure a plentiful harvest... but the opposite is also true if you neglect them. If you expect that new tree to withstand the attacks of infections, drought and wind, it will probably die an early death and never produce one single fruit... which is the sad state of affairs, generally speaking, of networking opportunity seekers. Imagine the point where more than one tree start to bear a plentiful harvest... there'd be more than enough fruit to enjoy for you and your family and friends and even if you gave fruit away, there will still be so much you could not eat all the fruit... A similar thing happens in a networking business, in that every new member who receives the necessary attention in the beginning, whether it's product training, motivation and encouragement, will mostly also turn out to be the producers in the long run, producing much more than you could consume by yourself. Just ask the top producers, people like Dexter Yager, David Wood, David Sharpe and Peggy & Bill Britt if they could spend all the money they make.

When you sign up a new member, it's like having adopted a child... if you don't train them, teach them, help them and unless you can look God in the eye and say, I have done my level best and better, but they still failed.... YOU are responsible for their failing and either way have no right to call him/her a wussy or other derogatory names...

Enjoy your day, miss/mister Networker!!
