CHOOSING ABUNDANCE
Friday June 11, 2010
I recently had an opportunity to hear Stephen Covey, world renowned author of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, discuss network marketing. He described our industry as being enticing because of its abundance. "There is room for everyone to succeed,” Covey says, "because as you help lift others up to higher levels, the business model rewards you.”
Not every industry is as rewarding. The world around us becomes more stressful and demanding every day. According to the results of a recent gallup poll, it’s no wonder people are fearful. Here are a few points that Covey shared:
- 60% of Americans feel that the current economic situation is the biggest crisis of their lifetime. That means that in the United States alone, over 180 million people are living with this fear daily.
- 77% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.
- Retirement accounts lost about 40% ($3.3 trillion) in value between September 2007 and September 2009.
- 67% of people consider quitting their jobs on a daily basis.
- The national workforce feels hopeless and 61% of workers would prefer to be their own boss.
- Workers rate the ability to balance work and family as the most important indicator of satisfaction with their job.
All these statistics are legitimate reasons to be fearful until you realize that they all point to the unlimited potential and abundance of the network marketing industry. With network marketing you have a choice.
You can choose to be fearful or you can choose to get out of the paycheck-to-paycheck rut and revive your retirement savings -- all while balancing work and family on your own terms.
Here are some examples of abundance at work in our industry:
- Over 56 million people in the world have started a network marketing business. That's almost double the size of the population of Canada!
- Over 90% of the people in our industry report working fewer than 30 hours per week.
- Last year, there was over $100 billion in sales in network marketing, proving that there is a strong market for both the products and the business model.
- The industry has grown by 90% in the last ten years.
You are in the right place at the right time. Our industry continues to grow as people learn that time and financial freedom are within their grasp. So, congratulate yourself for choosing the path of abundance - and then share this awesome opportunity with someone who could use it just as much as you!
