The description of the movie sounded intriguing. It was one of those late night movies that was probably older than the hills and needing a bit of a break I turned on the TV. “Born on the fourth of July” was the story of a young man who joined the Marines, was wounded in Vietnam, landed up a paraplegic, came home and became an ardent anti-war crusader.
My curiosity was aroused. How can you so passionately believe in something one day then just as passionately flip and reverse gears midway down the road?
Richard Bravo and I agreed
The topic was timely as Richard Bravo and I had been discussing this very thing when it came to network marketing. How can someone teach a marketing technique then have their facebook, twitter, YouTube, Google account suspended (for life) a few months down the road? Teaching the very activities that got them banned !
Maybe the answer would be in this movie. Maybe not but I needed my curiosity satisfied.
The kid (Tom Cruise) was born in 1956, son and nephew of World War II veterans. As in most movies the first 19 years went by pretty quick. You saw him playing war games as a child, signing up right after school and basic training took mere minutes. The reality of Vietnam hit hard: innocent women with children in their arms caught in the crossfire, friendly fire killing comrades, the bullets that took the young man’s ability to feel anything below mid chest happened in the blink of an eye.
As he recovered, in a makeshift hospital where the rats grew bigger every day, he watched the protestors in America, burn the flag he had fought for. The flag he believed in. The flag he took a bullet for. And he was angry.
Things had changed back home, his dad renovated the house to accommodate his wheelchair. His younger brother had joined the protestors. He didn’t believe in the war. He didn’t believe the “anti-communist” reasons for America’s participation in Vietnam were valid. Tom Cruise’s character was devastated and angry.
That’s when I feel asleep.
I never learned what the turning point was or what happened to turn him into an anti-war advocate. It must have been horrific. It must have been huge. To take someone so passionate about his country, about fighting for his country and flip him over to become the exact opposite of where he started must have taken a lot.
I wonder if that ever happens to teachers, trainers and coaches in network marketing. Do they have this bolt of lightening hit them and knock them to the ground, illuminating what they’ve done? Do they feel remorse for all the people that they’ve hurt in their zeal?
Guys like Kevin Trudeau apparently don’t. There are others too, mostly innocent, passionately believing what they are doing is right. Only to find out later that they got caught up in the wave of the latest, newest training or system offered.
That’s why Richard and I agreed on something we both saw as a flaw in network marketing. Newbies teaching newbies and the proliferation of “expert” advice. The importance of providing qualified, skilled mentors to guide and instruct the newly passionate on the methods and strategies that are focused and profit bearing activities.
You have to earn the role of mentor in Team Inc Pro. As you gather the skills (and you will), your only job is to network, bring the people in using the Team Inc Pro system and a team of mentors will provide the training and coaching your new distributors need.
You stay focused and Team Inc Pro does the rest.
Network marketing should be easy. The internet and all the “expert” and “unqualified” coaches offering value driven free guidance has left network marketers frustrated, overwhelmed and broke. Team Inc Pro is the answer for a lot of people who are going to be very successful – people who are focused on the right things at the right time with the right team.

Now ain’t that a word: Profitable !
One that’s been lacking in the online world. I wonder if they can sleep at night. Leading people down a path they haven’t walked themselves or if they have, can they go to sleep knowing they lacked honour, integrity and the truth?
Or are they just the uneducated passionately teaching the uneducated?
But I digress. The point is it doesn’t have to be that way. Not with Team Inc Pro anyways and I’m looking for those very people to solidify the Team Inc Pro core team.
If that’s you. You know what to do. Enter your name, email address and phone number (top right) on my blog and we’ll talk.
