Hello Agel Family:
I would like to share some ideas with you about becoming a student of this fine industry. It often baffles me when I think about how so many people join this industry and simply expect to create financial freedom without any knowledge or hard work applied.
Did you know that a very high percentage of businesses fail in their first year?
Did you know that the real estate industry has an incredible amount of turn-over with their agents?
Did you know that just about any career that is results oriented there is a high churn of people?
Interesting right? Why does this happen? You see, unless you are in an environment that fosters the “Safe, Secure” idea you will never be challenged enough to live outside of your current reality. In the business world you can only succeed by creating RESULTS! “The numbers don’t lie”. What I love about our industry is, it doesn’t matter what your education, skin color, gender, religion, age is, what matters is that you CHOOSE to win. We don’t only create a culture that fosters results but we have created a culture that fosters SUCCESS for anyone that decides they want to become a student and learn.
Today’s society most often attracts JOINERS? These are the people that join the gym or the bowling league, or a new hobby in January with there new years resolution, then by March of that same year they are no-where to be found; in fact you could shoot a cannon through a health club and not hit anyone.
Someone once asked me, “if Network Marketing is so good, then why isn’t everyone wealthy?” My response was, if health clubs are so good, why isn’t everyone in shape?”
You see anyone can join, but it takes an individual with desire to create results and succeed. Experience tells us in order to be successful at something, you must sharpen your axe, hone your skills and be persistent with your desires.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
Many of you know my background of being a High School Teacher. That sounds fairly intelligent huh. Well let me share with you my reality 6 yrs ago before getting involved in Network Marketing.
I spent eight years in University getting a four year degree and a one year attempt at Graduate School. During that period in time (embarrassed to tell you) I had never read a book from cover to cover. When doing papers for University I would read just enough to get by and complete an assignment. After becoming a teacher, I read only enough to stay ahead of my students for lesson planning. Sad huh. I just didn’t like reading.
Then things changed. A gentleman gave me an audiotape “Building Your Network Marketing Business” by Jim Rohn (GET IT TODAY). I began listening to this tape in my car when driving. In fact I wore the tape out and purchased a second copy. I learned more from that $5 tape then I learned in my 8 yrs in University & $60,000 later.
Shortly after I began purchasing personal development audio programs to listen to in my car, walkman, home stereo. Then, finally I began reading 3-5pages of a good book each day. Before I new it I finished my first book, then started another, & another.
Think about this. If you read 10 pages of a good book each day you could easily read a book a month, that would be 12 books a year, that would be over 60 books in 5 yrs. Can you imagine the difference between the person that does this and the person that does not? Do you understand that you would be a completely different person after reading just a few pages a day? In fact, I strongly believe you wouldn’t be the same person tomorrow if you read 3 short pages of a good book Today…
WOW… Imagine what this would do to your Confidence, your Belief level? Imagine how much you could learn about you and your place in this industry.
Now don’t tread lightly here…. The truth of the matter is this business is 90% your Attitude and your Belief. The building blocks and day to day activities are the other 10%. You see, anyone can give someone a magazine each day for a little while… Anyone can send someone to a website each day for a period of time…. Anyone can get on a training call or go to an ABB each week for awhile…. But what is the difference that will allow individuals to do these activities consistently over the next 12 – 24 months? It is PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT…
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT is your key to the vault of success. I am where I am today because of the personal development I have been doing over the years. I can say without one ounce of doubt that the top performers in Agel are all engaged in personal development daily. SUCCESS LEAVES CLUES!!!
If you are reading this bulletin today, I encourage you to BECOME A STUDENT of this great industry, and through this process you will create the BELIEF necessary to carry you through the good times and the hard times on your journey to Time & Financial Freedom! Always remember 90% of what you do with Agel, is your ability to develop yourself. START TODAY!
Your Friend,
Ivan Sisco
