Jim Rohn – Personal Development And Network Marketing Legend

I was saddened to hear about the recent passing of Jim Rohn.  I discovered Jim a couple of years back and found he had one of the most brilliant minds in terms of observations.  Especially regarding business.  He could word things in such a way that would make you think “wow!”

One of my favourite products he has produced is called “Building Your Network Marketing Business.”  He really explains things in a clear manner.  Things I had never really thought of before.

What really struck me was the section where he discusses the law of averages.  He states that when you begin exposing your business to others that a ratio will appear.  That is then how you can determine what it will take to meet your financial goals.

He also makes it clear that not everyone will or even needs to join your business, and that is okay.  Furthermore he states that everyone who joins your business will perform differently.  You simply need to accept this and move on.

This is the kind of information you need to know if you want to make in this industry.  Not “if” but “when” someone drops out of your business you won’t take it so personally.  I like the way Jim puts it…  “Don’t sign up for that class.”

That is just the way things are.  Some will work harder than others and some will produce more than others.  You don’t need to chase anyone.  Think about this and view yourself.  Does someone need to constantly beg you in order for you to join or stay in the business?

If so then this industry probably isn’t for you.  And if not then why would you need to beg others to join your business?  If they are serious and not only curious they will find you.  If they have a question they will know how to get in touch.

Is it important as sponsor to make an effort to contact your downline?  Of course.  Is it your responsibility to expose your opportunity to as many as you possibly can?  Certainly.  But it isn’t your responsibility to chase people.

Here is the big secret…  You don’t need a lot of people, only the right people.  Your success depends upon finding sharp, capable people and teaching them to do the same thing.

When you understand these truths your eyes will slowly start opening to a much brighter future.  So for this Jim, I thank you!
