Have I gone crazy? Maybe!! Actually it is true; you do need to be a farmer in your MLM/Network Marketing business! When I heard someone talking about famers planting their seeds and the plants taking months to grow, it made me realise how similar that is to Network Marketing. Because, just like Farmers plant seeds in the fields, we drop out little nuggets of information (or seeds) to people. Then because we have put a thought into their head, it slowly begins to take root, blossom and grow, just like the Farmer’s seed!!
So many people are suffering with money worries at this time. They are rushing around, so busy worrying about their dire money situation that they have probably not even given a thought to finding a second income stream.. Then we come along and perhaps tell them what we are doing, or ask them to take a look and that’s it, we have planted a seed. They begin to think about the possibilities, and how much better their life would be if only they could earn a few hundred extra each month!
But just as Jim Rohn said on his Building Your Network Marketing Business CD; ‘some seeds will fall on stony ground’. Not everybody will be open to an opportunity. Others will find it beyond their comfort level. That is life, we cannot all be the same!
Other seeds will take root and begin to grow. However, the weeds will soon choke them to death. These are the people who will join your opportunity, but then listen to their next door neighbour’s uncle’s sister, who had a ‘bad’ experience once with MLM and decide to give up!
Then there are the seeds that fall on good ground, get fed and watered and grow tall and strong. These are the seeds we all want. Because they will become the stars in your opportunity. They are the reason we go around planting seeds at all!
So remember when you talk to people, you are planting ‘seeds’! Because just imagine if you spoke to someone about your opportunity and they said they were not interested because they were happy in their job, or because they did not have any money worries. A few months later, their situation could have changed. What if they remembered that seed you planted and it suddenly took root and began to grow?
Planting has always fascinated me. Imagine taking a little dry seed and covering it in soil, and ending up with a strong healthy plant! How good would it feel to plant a seed in someones head and have them grow a large healthy business! Now imagine a whole field full of plants, growing strong and healthy!
Come on everyone, let’s keep planting our seeds!!
