This post is about finding your reason for building a network marketing business.
Your WHY
But before you yawn and think ‘oh not again’…. this is a bit of a new take on it. So I hope you’ll like it and who knows, you may even agree with me.
I’ve been reading Sir Ken Robinsons book ‘The Element’, the sub heading being ‘How finding your passion changes everything’. It’s about, as the title suggests, finding your passion and spending your life doing that, rather than something you hate (like so many do).
It’s about being ‘in your element’. And it’s full of interesting case studies of some very successful people who, at an early age, found their passion and have made a successful life at it.
Some of those people mentioned are Matt Groenig, who you may know from The Simpsons, Gillian Lynne, a world famous dancer and choreographer, and several other world famous actors, artists, and athletes too. Another case study is Paul McCartney (you’ve heard of him I think). As an aside, it may interest you to know that he went to the same school as one of the other Beatles. However neither of them, according to their teacher, expressed any musical talent whatsoever. This was a teacher who had half The Beatles in his class and didn’t even notice them!
Now if there is any drawback in the book at all, it’s that the case studies are of world class talents, and not your every day man in the street. That being said, don’t you think we’d all be a lot happier and the world would be a better place if everyone had the chance to be ‘in their element’ instead of doing something they don’t like.
Wouldn’t you like to be ‘in your element’ every day?
One particularly powerful quote from the book goes like this. “Many people set aside their passions to pursue things they don’t care about for the sake of financial security. The fact is though, that the job you took because it ‘pays the bills’ could easily move offshore in the coming decade. If you have never learned to think creatively and to explore your true capacity, what will you do then?”
So my question to you is ‘What is it that puts you in your element’? You know what I mean don’t you? It’s when you’re doing something and time just flies by, instead of dragging like it does for a lot of us.
For some of you it may be surfing. For some it may be teaching…or writing…or speaking in public…or doing paperwork…languages…maths…looking after kids…or something else.
Joseph Campbell called it ‘Following your Bliss’, and it’s different for us all. But whatever it is, that’s what I believe you should be doing with your life.
Lots of people hate their job. But of course giving up a steady job to pursue your passion, not knowing if it will pay the bills or not, is a bit scary. In fact it’s something most people would not even consider. For those people Network Marketing is a perfect vehicle. They can start part time, and, over a period of time, if they stick at it, it will give them the income necessary for them to follow their passion and be in their element.
On the other hand, there are those who love their jobs. As an example I speak to a lot of teachers who are passionate about teaching and excel at it, but the salary they get may not really give them the lifestyle they aspire too. For them a network marketing business, part-time (and god knows those teachers get enough time off 
), could be the vehicle that allows them to remain teaching, but on their own terms.
So, in my opinion, finding a way to spend your life doing the thing that you’re most passionate about should be your WHY.
Your why is more than a house. It’s more than a new car. It’s more than a holiday to Disney with the kids.
None of those are a real WHY.
Spending as much of the time you have left being ‘in your element’. Now THAT is a real WHY!
And Network Marketing is the vehicle that will allow you to do that.
