IIIII Editor's Corner: 
---------------------------------------------
( Mike Akins - 4Life Gold International // Founder, PN ) 
 
))) - Thoughts on => SUCCESS

Success is a very interesting concept. It means different things to different people. For example, to some it means to die for a cause while to others it means to live for a cause. To some money is the “end” while to others money is a means to an end.

For some changing themselves into a more functional person is success while to others learning to be satisfied with themselves is real success. For example, to some individuals losing a desired amount of weight is success while to other individuals learning that you are special and can be happy at the weight that they are is success.

Success is a personal experience. Success is a personal perception. We develop goals based on our perception of success. Network Marketing is a business in which success, to a degree, depends on assisting other individuals in achieving success. Understanding success will help you know how to assist other individuals in their quest for success.

Generally success and fulfillment are synonymous. When a person isn’t fulfilled, he/she looks beyond his/her circumstances to what would fulfill them. Often success and fulfillment are achieved in steps. Generally the majority of people can only see as far as the next hilltop. Once they conquer that hilltop they then can see the next step in their journey to ultimate success.

Why is understanding these principles important to your success? When you try to lead other individuals to your perception of success, you run the risk of losing them along the way. This vision must be a personal. Your vision may not work for someone else.

The journey of success requires faith and a vision of where you are going. If a person’s faith hasn’t developed to the degree that is required in order for them to buy the next step, you will lose them.

“Building people” is an honorable passion and a good slogan. I have spent my life doing this. If you believe that building people only means developing a person’s belief in self, developing talents, and helping them discovery who they are, you will miss the true victory involved in such a quest.

This isn’t a new concept but is a concept that lives on from generation to generation. This was the philosophy that I cut my teeth on back in the 60’s when I began my career in Amway. The product wasn’t the focus. Turning people on to discovering themselves and being all that they could be was the goal. Motivation was focus.

This sounds good but isn’t the total picture. With this approach Amway became a giant at the expense of millions of distributors failing. Tens of millions of people have been in and out of Amway over the years. This is why you seldom can invite a new prospect to an Amway meeting if they know what the meeting is about. Its name has been ruined in the USA. Amway had to remake itself a few years ago in the US because of this failed strategy. You can say that achieving a five billion-dollar per year revenue is success but not for the millions of people that placed their faith in Amway’s strategy for personal success.

Yes motivation is important. Yes building people is important. The heart of what I am expressing is that you must discover where is person is in their life’s journey and start there. Don’t place everyone in the same box and think the same motivation works for all.

For many people the first step in their journey to success is to experience good health through a dynamic product. For others it is earning a few bucks to supplement their income. For some they are ready for a life changing experience.

There are a number of people that consider themselves successful where they are and will respond negatively to someone that presents himself as someone with a better philosophy of life or better strategy of success. Sometimes you build people without saying that is what you are doing. Through your relationship interaction it happens.

The expectations, through which you sell a program, will become the criteria that the individual will measure his/her success by. Life is complicated and a distributor has a life outside of his/her experience in 4life. This person’s individual success will depend on the interactions of a great number of factors both from within and from outside 4life.

I suggest marketing our opportunity on a broad number of factors not just on what excite us. I plan on having tens of thousands of people staying in this program because the product works for them and their loved ones. I will also have thousands of individuals stay in this program because it has either changed their lives or added richly to their journey to their personal vision of success. I plan to have people stay in this program because it helps them financially support their loved ones but isn’t the center of their life.

I will have thousands of people stay in this program because they like being apart of something successful but may not have the faith to completey put themselves into that arena. I plan on having people that stay in this opportunity because they know I care about them. I plan on having people that stay in this program because it is a source of helpful information.

My international marketing family will be made up of many different kinds of people with many different perspectives of life and success. I will find their hearts and connect with them through respect, love, sensitivity, tolerance and by being part of the source of whatever they are searching for. This will be my foundation for the portion of success in my life that 4life provides.

What is my purpose for this expository success? I have learned during my 39 succesful years in network marketing that when I approach my prospects, distributors and customers with these principles in mind, I will be much more effective than overwhelming them with some spectacular motivation.
 
Be blessed. Mike
