This Revelation Totally Revamped My Thinking Today

As I was browsing around on Youtube today, one of my favorite hangouts and social interraction sites, I discovered something so big, that I will NEVER do business the same way again, no matter WHAT the cost to me. This revelation totally revamped my thinkin!

I was watching some big-wig gurus and listening to the truth of what they were saying about business and success, and the more a couple of the talked, the more disgusted I became. One of these guys actually talks about how thrilled he is to lose at a game because then he can kick the winner's a** the next time even harder and make him "regret beating him at the game." Now, if you are a worldly person, you're probably saying, "well, what's wrong with that? If he lost, he SHOULD want to get back at the other guy and beat him the next time!" If you are a follower of Godly principles, however, this attitude will clearly stand out as being against the heart and practice of Jesus Christ, your Lord.

The day I have an attitude of revenge toward anyone, will be the day I QUIT network marketing and any sort of entrepreneurial venture. I will NOT have a vengeful attitude in order to succeed. This is a "bucket of crabs" mentality, in which one "crab" climbs on top of the others in order to make it to the top and over the edge. It doesn't matter to that crab, if one of it's claws just jabbed another crab underneth it in the eye, or that it just cracked the shell of several on the bottom...no! all that matters to that selfish, driven crustacean is that it makes it to the top and out of that bucket! This seems to be the attitude and action of MANY business people lately and frankly, it STINKS! It's wrong and selfish and narcissistic all the way. (mind you, the same man I heard talking about how he acts this way, also expresses how excited he was for the war to continue because he could basically go battle his opponents and feel the exhillaration of it all! he even admitted that his mindset was crazy when he returned to the USA.)

I'm concerned that the thrust to become a millionaire, has taken the place of love and consideration for one's fellow man. When did money become the be-all and end-all of society, so much so that I could practically "rob you blind" and not give it a second thought, while smiling all the way to the bank? This is a very disturbing and sick mindset. It is not, in my viewpoint, the mindset of success, but of exploitation and self-service.

Are the people doing these things that do not benefit others, still rich? millionaires? Yes indeed they are, but I am again brought back to my Biblical focus of "for what does it profit a man to gain the whole world but to lose his own soul?" People who are narcissistic, have many times lost their own souls. They have tons of money, but on the inside are revealing nothing more than "dead men's bones."

Why is it so alluring to have mega money, while you leave people in your wake, struggling, suffering, maybe unable to feed their family? This is unthinkable and deplorable to me.

No. In my business, I offer you this guarantee. The principles I run my business system on, are God-honoring and compassionate. I am here to work WITH you and you WITH me, till we both can succeed and help others do the same; not for the sake of becoming rich, but in order to have finances to bless the Kingdom of God and offer more to mankind of ourselves and our talents.

If you are wanting a business that is based on integrity, honesty and consideration, I can guarantee that is what I stand for and implement in what I do. I don't lie, color the truth, antagonize prospects, make empty promises and most of all, when you need help, I will do my best to be there for you.

Sadly, I don't see such support of their team-members among some of these high-class, billionaires, who value a trip to Hawaii more than the feelings of others or helping them through their challenges. They say "we won't spoon-feed you"...well, I won't either, but I will at least hand you the spoon instead of making you try to eat with your face in the bowl without any utensils.

God bless you. Welcome to a REAL, decent business mindset. I can't wait to meet you all! I hope and pray this revelation will totally revamp the way YOU think about Network Marketing and the people who join or don't join you, as well! Please, open your eyes...those are human beings that we may have left wounded and bleeding behind us while we went "to the top"
