Lesson 10

Welcome to Lesson #10

How about another problem?

Let's go through another concrete example of
exactly how to use this method.

Let's say that my sponsor lives too far away. I
can't become successful because my sponsor doesn't
come to help me. How are we going to move my
thinking from distributor thinking to leadership
thinking?

Here's a story you could tell me.

You: Raj, I know you think that you can't become
successful because I live too far away. I can't
help you do local meetings and I can't come to
Houston to help you do two-on-one presentations.

However, let's imagine that you're taking a flight
home to Delhi, India. There is another passenger
sitting next to you on the airplane. Your casual
conversation goes like this:

Raj: Hey, what do you do for a living?

Passenger: I am the president of a local
entrepreneurs' club. We have 10,000 members and
they're all entrepreneurs. We meet in the evenings
because we all have regular jobs, but our club is
looking for a part-time business to get into.

Raj: Oh really? What kind of business?

Passenger: Well, we don't want to have stores
because that would be boring. We'd be tied down to
one location.

We're outgoing people and we're interested in
sales and marketing. We enjoy meeting, networking,
and working with other people. We don't have a lot
of money to invest - maybe only a couple thousand
dollars each.

But we're willing to work as hard as we can to
build successful businesses.

But you know what? I haven't been able to find any
part-time business for our members yet. And if I
don't find something pretty soon, they're going to
throw me out of office. I'm pretty worried.

You: So what are you thinking, Raj? You're
thinking, 'Oh, man, I've hit the mother lode! My
business opportunity is going to be perfect for
them. She's going to thank me.' And then Raj, you
ask:

Raj: Oh, by the way, where do you live?

Passenger: I live in Mumbai.

You: And now Raj, you're going to throw up your
hands in despair and say:

Raj: Oh no! That's too bad. I could never sponsor
you because I wouldn't be local.


At that point, I change my thinking. I understand
that if I keep believing that the sponsor must
live locally, I'd pass by many great
opportunities. In fact, if I keep that distributor
thinking, that would mean that I could never
sponsor someone more than ten miles away from my
house!

After you tell me that story, will my thinking
move from distributor thinking to leadership
thinking? Maybe not all the way, but I'm getting
closer, right?

I will be sending you Lesson #12 in a few days.
