A Network Marketer's Creed by Orrin Woodward

Be challenged by the words of Orrin Woodward, one of the top Network Marketers in America...

The subject of Networking can increase the temperature and lower the emotional intelligence of many fine people.  Why can it be such a heated topic at times?  I believe because it hits along the main ideological battles going on in our country currently.  Are people owed a living simply by being born in the USA?  Is the Biblical injunction, “He who will not work, will not eat” still valid today?  Should someone be guaranteed success in Networking Communities simply for signing up or is it reasonable to expect them to perform?   Is the person at the top in a Network someone who has earned this position through performance or just got in first?  Is it right for people to “make money” off of other people’s efforts?  These and many more questions are bandied about on a daily basis in living rooms, coffee shops and hotel meetings across the country. 

Let’s get one thing out on the table right away.  Networking success is not achieved by sitting at home and spamming the internet.  Networking success is not achieved by magically sponsoring 3 leaders and they do all the work.  The facts are that Networking is hard work, as is all achievement!  If you want big results and hard work scares you then don’t get in the Networking field.  All great achievement comes through learning the principles of delayed gratification for long term results.  Our culture is so self-centered today that the thought of delaying gratification even for a couple of months causes many to overheat.  I can’t blame them with a TV culture that has bombarded them with the belief that they deserve the good life with no effort or sacrifice, but eventually they must wake up to the reality of their situation to achieve success.  Charles Sykes wrote a several fantastic books called, “A Nation of Victims” and “Dumbing Down our Kids.”  The gist of the books can be captured by the titles.  When we lower the bar on people - we do not create more champions, but more victims.   This is what leaders do in a Network Marketing business, maintain a high bar for achievement.  Networking leaders teach people the true rules of life and help people become champions in a culture encouraging victims. 

In my opinion, there is no greater field to influence people in a positive direction than Network Community building.  Instead of waiting for our countries politician to fix our country, why don’t we get out there in the living rooms of America and teach these principles ourselves.  We can either be part of the problem or part of the solution and Laurie and I have chosen to be part of the solution!

My Thoughts:

There’s an old saying that you can either provide a meal for someone OR you can teach him how to fish. 

Network Marketing requires you to BECOME more— like becomin g  a Fisherman instead of standing in a food line.  As you work on improving yourself, you see the results in your business. It’s Personal Development with a Compensation Plan!
