Lincoln on Labor, Capital and Creating Wealth
No “chicken or the egg” riddle here. Capital, that is money, cannot be created out of thin air. Work must be expended first. Yet too many have lost sight of this principle if they ever even had it. Too many expect to live the “good life” without exerting the effort to create it.

Gandhi on Network Marketing (!)
“A ‘No’ uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a ‘Yes’ merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble. “
I don’t know if my friend and mentor Tom ‘Big Al’ Schreiter is a student of Gandhi or not, but this is right out of ‘Big Al’s’ Three Steps To Success: “Take the Volunteers.”
Be grateful for a clear and honest NO. Their NO releases you, allowing you to move on to further efforts. When you get excuses or reasons, don’t bother chasing them.
Avoid Stress! It’s a killer.

But Marketing IS About Human Behavior – Isn’t It?
I unabashedly will tell you that I love my business mentors Bob and Anna. They are a fun-loving, talented, tough yet loving, experienced couple living way up there in Ontario. They’re so nice they even put me up (and put up with me) over the previous holidays for 8 snowed-in days. Yikes!
Why just today I got some great advice from Anna about how to deal with a prospect’s predicament. It was terrific advice and it worked. But I’m not surprised.
However, there is one thing I don’t quite see eye-to-eye with Bob. Maybe it’s my own curiosity about human behavior but I do like to delve into what makes a prospect tick once a business relationship has set sail.
I’m not talking about psychotherapy here, but we as network marketers do after all inquire as to WHY the prospect wants to get into this cockamamie business! And the answers are quite revealing and not only to us!
A recent post here http://liveyourdream-ownyourlife.com/your-world-is-your-word dealt with a young woman who was not doing right by herself and, as a mentor should, I called her on it.
I also wrote an Ezinearticle on the same subject which struck a chord with Bob, so much so that he was gracious enough to post it inon their blog http://togethertothetop.com/?p=5470 entitled MLM Success Tip – Keep your Promises!
What I don’t quite find myself in accord with Bob is his idea that the first rule of undertanding human behavior is don’t even try!
Now at first glance this may seem humorous, and it is, but I was under the impression that marketing is ABOUT human behavior, at least some aspects of it, isn’t it? I mean, aren’t we trying to make a connection and influence them in some way? Wouldn’t understanding how the human animal behaves go a long way in helping us toward that end?
What do you think?
