A Proven Recipe

Browsing through information on the internet you realise pretty quickly that lots of the information you come across only looks good at first sight. In German we have a saying that “there may be skeletons in the cupboard” which means that even if a room looks nice something unpleasant might be hidden somewhere.
Let’s give information a closes look. You might see, actually screaming at you “we build your downline for you” or “spillover will fill your matrix” or “you need not make contacts” and many others in that line. You can simply classify all of them as marketing tricks. It triggers the “lottery nerve” in people’s brains, the lazy bone and the belief that miracles do happen.  If somebody feels like wanting to play the lottery, well that’s definitely up to them yet the statistical probability of winning it is staggering – I forgot the number - was it once in 2013 years or so – something like that. So of course I wonder how can anyone consider any offer which can be likened to lotteries seriously as a source of income?
Well – miracles do happen, but your own mindset and attitude + effort has a great deal to do with it. The law of attraction certainly works, yet unless you let it happen by creating the required mindset it will remain just a potential. A potential which was never drawn into life.
It is work, work of self development to finally achieve the right mindset for attraction and as a rule people require support to achieve it and support of course again means being in touch with people, grabbing a helping hand, participating in a mastermind group and lot more.
Let’s now consider “The Proven Recipe”: In tune with building a house let’s look at making concrete, to have something which you can actually touch. To make concrete you need 3 ingredients: Water, gravel and cement. Now let’s assume you have highly energised well water and the most beautiful marble gravel and you put it all into a stainless steel mixer with a designer shovel only you only take a teaspoon full of cement and add it…will you get concrete? No way! To make concrete which carries and is suitable for statics you need to mix the ingredients in a defined ration like – 6 shovels of gravel and 2 shovels of cement  with half a bucket of water – to state just an average. People who have the specialised knowledge will be able to give you the precise details for the various applications.
How come, when looking at business and in particular  a home business or network marketing,  everybody seems to feel they can do business successfully in  a happy go lucky way which not even touches on a proven recipe. And there are even those who look at a proven recipe and then think it to be too complicated and still do it in a different way or even rewrite it that it cannot even be recognised as a recipe any more.
Network marketing is a business which can be easy when the rules are observed, yet it takes following the proven recipe to the dot, the first step being: when you want to achieve more you have to become more. In a team of experienced mentors you will be able to go through the process in a straightforward way. Be happy for their input and see it as constructive help rather than criticism and simply walk along and do what the recipe requires you to do and
you will spread your wings and fly.
