Training Lesson 2 : Business Journey

BEGINS WITH A VISION 

In the previous Blog (Training Lesson 1) we learnt how Alexander the Great viewed his forthcoming campaign against the enemy. Well before the campaign started he set his VISION straight and specific. There was no ambiguity in his thoughts. He never wavered a minute away from his PRESET OBJECTIVE. His POA was crystal clear.


VISION & MISSION

A serious business leader first sets his Vision & Mission. What is the difference between the two?

Vision is what you want to achieve
Mission is how you will achieve your Vision

Vision is the directional force. It’s a compass. It clearly paves the path where you would want to tread. If this is set in the beginning itself, no matter what inducement, distraction comes in your way you shall not waver. Vision shows what you are. It’s a sense of purpose. 

Mission is the process of achieving your set Vision. What strategic moves you will employ in the course of your action. It’s an action thriller. 

If you look at any professionally successful organization round the world, you can see their Vision & Mission. Simply they don’t produce some product and sell them. They have their preset Vision and the way they will operate to achieve their Vision. All strategies are woven around that thread only. People who have to execute plans are trained in that fashion. Training is Transferring of Power of Performance. That gets bolstered with clear Vision & Mission.

Creating Vision & Mission Statements

Sit and think what you want to achieve. Set your life’s goal. Goal should not be mistaken with short term or intermediate or long term ones. That process is different. We will see that later. Now for setting your Vision, this is your Life’s Goal. Write it on a piece of paper. That’s your Vision Statement. Then write down the means of achieving the same. That’s your Mission Statement. Set your daily work schedule based on your Mission Statement.

Training Lesson 3 : Trainee & Butterfly

We have seen that Training is Transferring Power of Performance. Transformation comes first with the self. Acquired Transformation comes when the trainee is able to understand and adopt the material. For that he has to ready himself first. Any attempt either by him or by others to short circuit such a transformation will end in disaster. There is a good lesson to learn from the butterfly.


Butterfly Metamorphosis 

One day a beautiful, colorful butterfly laid an egg. The small egg started growing as a Caterpillar (larva stage). In this stage he had no work other than eating. By enormous eating it acquired and stored huge energy. After some time it grew as a Chrysalis (pupa). 


At this stage its anatomical structures started growing. After it had matured, it struggled to break open its covering. After much effort it came out and started flying. When it flew, many were attracted towards its beauty. For adults and children alike, it’s such a gift to watch a butterfly. This is known as metamorphosis or transformation. 

However one day a person saw an immature pupa struggling inside its covering in his garden tree. He thought that he should give a helping hand to free that pupa. So he used his nail to make a small opening so that the pupa will come out and fly. The immature pupa came out but alas! He could not fly. He saw all his other brothers and sisters are so happily flying and he couldn’t.

Trainee & Butterfly

This is exactly what happens in business. Unless you are fully mature it is no use attempting to do business immediately even if you are induced by others. Like a butterfly going thru the metamorphosis you also have to undergo proper training before you launch yourself into the business orbit. 

What is the Business Metamorphosis?

1. Simply use the product & closely observe the benefits in you 
2. Understand the products thoroughly 
3. Attend meetings to learn 
4. Start sharing your personal experiences 
5. Learn the art of speaking skills
6. Make your launch to a small group
7. Identify where you had faulted & correct them 
8. Re-launch yourself 
9. Start flying
Just because one has been in the MLM Business for a long time or he holds a bigger pin position it doesn’t mean he can be rocket flying. As soon as the fuel is over the rocket will fall. One has to undergo the business process. Then sky is not the limit. You can fly anywhere and you can help others as well. 

Friends, 

MLM is a huge opportunity to build wealth for you and your generation.  
Don’t short circuit the process 
Don’t be in a hurry to become a millionaire overnight   
You will certainly become a millionaire  

Provided,  

You undergo Business Metamorphosis 
As taught by the beautiful butterfly

Training Lesson 1

Training is Transferring the Power of Performance.

Performance

Many think that it’s done in the market, or in the office, or on the battlefield; none of it. Of course you have to show performance in the place where you have chosen your duty; marketer in the market, staff in the office, lawyer in the court, an auditor in accounts, pilot in the airplane, a musician in the hall or an army man in the battle. 

But in all these vocations success comes FIRST not in the designated areas, but in the MIND. First of all mind has to conceive victory. After that only it gets translated in the area of your expertise. 

Alexander the Great 

In his quest for conquering the world, Alexander was going everywhere to install his flag. In one of the ensuing battles, he was in a strategic meeting the previous night along with his generals. 

After discussing with them the Plan of Action (POA) he gave necessary orders. 

One of the generals asked him, 
“Emperor, when we will achieve success against the enemy?”

Alexander said, 
“In 3 days and 2 hours” 

This perplexed the generals. They said in chorus, 
“Emperor it’s alright 3 days; but how is it that it’s precise 3 days & 2 hours?” 

Alexander said
“That’s because I have already won the battle in my mind within 3 days and 2 hours”

That’s why Alexander is called as THE GREAT.

If you want to be successful in the MLM business or in any business, first of all you must conduct a Strategic Meeting with your mind. 
1) Clear all your doubts 
2) Never vacillate after 
3) Sow Seeds of Success 
4) Fertilize them with confidence boost
5) Create a POA 
6) Take assistance from any resource
7) Choose your Target Audience
8) Execute your P O A with perfection
9) Have an unwavering mind in the face of obstacles 

Success is in your hands.


Train your Mind

Training is Transferring the Power of Performance. Such transferring can be either by self or a resource like a book, a trainer, or observation or a blog and so on. Performance is the result of the execution of your skill.  

Where there is unparalleled skill coupled with clarity of purpose and confident mind success will follow you as a goat behind a shepherd. 

Friends, 
In the ensuing blogs we are going to discuss ways and means of empowering ourselves with required skills to be successful in the MLM Business.

Darkness is Comfort

DARKNESS IS COMFORT LIGHT IS FEARFUL

When I made this statement during a Training Programme, many were astonished. “Sir, by slip of tongue you may have said like this.” 
I said, “No friends, I was conscious in making the statement.”

Darkness is Comfort

Even at birth darkness was comfort. For months on end the child was most comfortable inside the mother. But the moment he is out of the mother’s dark confines he starts crying on seeing the light, unable to see the light. 

Knowing full well that for his whole future this one asset will help him to improve his life – i.e. Knowledge – the child cries when going to school first time, unwilling to leave the loving laps of his mother.

He knows very well that University degree is an immense advantage in the job market, he shivers sitting in the examination hall. 

However much he loved the girl, coming to propose to her for marriage he finds difficult to get words.

He is very happy when he learns that his health will be in its pink if he consumes Ganoderma every day. But the lurking doubt about the effectiveness of the product prevents him to try.

He hit the roof when he saw his neighborhood friend earning thousands in the MLM Business. But he goes behind a famous Dream Stealer (read Blog 24 : Beware of Thieves) without understanding.


He has become a Star Agent and Star Ruby with hundreds of people in his team. He knows that they expect him to lead them with knowledge and leadership qualities. But still he is dependent on his senior. 

He sees in every meeting someone comes and gives a lecture. But never once has he taken the platform with confidence.

There is no difference between the child who cries at the time of delivery and himself when asked to take the platform. 

All these are comfort zones of the darkness.

Remove the shackles 

People are happy where they are and any slight change is welcome only with resentment. Everyone knows that they have to have good health; they don’t want to contract any diseases at any time of their lives; they want to enjoy all the fruits of their activities; they want to lead a wealthy life; they want to leave behind a wealthy legacy for their generations. All these are possible only if they remove the shackles of darkness. How to remove the Darkness Shackles?

Light is not Fearful 

The very first thing to understand is Light is not fearful. It requires sheer boldness. If you want to be an excellent swimmer any amount of theoretical knowledge about swimming is useless unless you jump into the water first. Jumping into the water is seeing light. 

If you want to be an effective speaker, first of all mentally you should decide to be a speaker. Boldly jump on the platform. Remember Winston Churchill the world’s greatest orator was absolutely fearful about speaking on a platform until he boldly spoke at the Hyde Park in London (DXN took us to Hyde Park London thru ITSI). Preparedness is the prerequisite to being a speaker.

Why you need to be an effective speaker? 


One of the prime requisites for being successful in the MLM Business is the ability to get across your ideas to the prospect in a manner that convinces him. Your ability to lead a successful team requires that you are a powerful speaker. It requires training. That’s all.

Friends, 
Darkness never gives you comfort. 
It’s only
Light that will lead you to the Success Destination


We will start from the next blog aspects of Training & Speaking Skills

Beware of Thieves

We have discussed so far benefits of the MLM Business; its relative difference compared to Conventional Business and so on. Probably you may have discussed them with some of your colleagues or prospects or may have brought about awareness to some who may be harboring doubts about this business model or some of your own doubts may have been dispelled.

However it may be possible that in spite of your Herculean efforts to cut across lines of doubt you may have met with stiff resistance.  

There may have been,  

a) Some who simply nodded to whatever you said and left 
b) Some who may have found a logic in your presentation and accepted your invitation to join you in the business
c) Some who may have become professors of eminence and advised you to do more research and diligence before you plunge into the MLM model business 
d) Some who would have totally rejected your ideas giving their own or their acquired or imaginary opinions and misgivings about the system and the need to be away from it.


The first three are harmless. It’s not necessary that everyone agrees with you. But if they see some reason in what you say they will give a space in their mind. At some point or other on seeing your own progress they may approach you for joining. You need patience that’s all. But the 4th category is dangerous.

Why Dangerous?

After thoroughly analyzing the benefits and future potential of the system, you may have joined in the MLM business. You may have dreamt of earning a substantial income to suit your family needs. You may have dreamt of owning your dream home. You would have imagined with all happiness of buying a car and taking a ride along with your wife. You would have thought of the best university you want your son to study. You would have planned the happiest manner in which to celebrate the wedding of your beloved daughter. 


All through the earnings you dreamt from the MLM Business. But in one single shot of utter foolishness these people in the 4th category known as Dream Stealers would have finished all your positive dreams provided you lent your ears.

Be away from these
  
There is a proverb that says,
  • If you see a charging Bull, don’t go in front of him as he will lift and knock you by his horns 
  • If you see a mad Donkey, don’t go on his back side as he will kick you and break your bones 
  • But if you happen to see a Dream Stealer, never go on any side of him as he has the ability to knock your dreams from all sides
 
Friends,


Beware of these Dream Stealers. Identify them and be away from them, because they are nothing short of

THIEVES


Ever ready to pounce on your Growth Dreams and knock them out

Calf Path

Decades ago there was a village. There were no proper roads – not as what we see today – muddy, slippery, stony, uneven ones. No vehicles - not as we see today - therefore human legs were the only wheels which took people far and near. There were no motels on the way – not as we see today – to take a little rest while travelling long distances. Along with humans even animals were living with them. They also had family of their own. There was a cow family. 

Wherever,  
COW WENT CALF FOLLOWED

Slowly there was economic development in the village. So people had to move to sell their produce and bring home things necessary from other places. Therefore they made roads sufficient enough to make travel comfortable. Wheel was invented and bullocks were used to draw carts. The day such a bullock cart came to the village, there was exhilaration and people celebrated the day. But, in its own way,
COW WENT CALF FOLLOWED


Years passed. The village with increase of population had become a small town. People who were simply walking miles on end started using auto mobile even to go and buy vegetables in the nearby market. In place of small thatched roofs two storied bungalows had come. Instead of going to theatres people started viewing movies in the comfort of their own homes through television. But in the same place, 
COW WENT CALF FOLLOWED 

Villages became towns, towns became cities, cities became mega cities; there were changes seen in the quality of life of people. Ordinary people became millionaires. They were able to give better education to their children; take their wife’s too to far off countries and they started saving for their future generations as well. All because they found out that if only they change their beaten path they can see growth and development during their own lifetime.

Change is the only Change Agent 

They realized that if they don’t put themselves into the fire of change they will continue to be in the dirt of the past. Not only they will remain there but even their progeny will continue to suffer.
They will still remain and continue to tread the same old beaten path as the poor calf had been doing the act of following the 
CALF PATH

They realized that if they don’t change they will remain as cows and their children will become the calves and they continue to make the 
CALF PATH
permanent for generations. 

MLM breaks the Calf Path 

There are many who have understood the benefits of this business model have changed the economic profiles of their families. But the doubting Thomas’s still continue in their 

CALF PATH

Friends,
It’s in our hands - as realized individuals about MLM – to make the effort to bring about awareness about this dangerous CALF PATH and the need to affect 

CHANGE IN BUSINESS OUTLOOK
