Embracing Our Adversaries

Imagine if everyone was already sponsored. Imagine if everyone said yes the first time they heard about the business opportunity.

Would our companies need us? For what? There would be no reason for us to educate and enroll prospective Customers and Distributors – they’d all be in!

Imagine there were no watchdogs, regulators, consumer advocacy groups, no skeptical media looking over our shoulders.

Imagine MLM companies doing whatever they wanted and saying whatever they felt like at any time. Imagine where our profession would be.

Left to our own devices network marketing, as a profession, would be (to say the least) destructive.

Not to mention they hold us accountable to be better versions of ourselves … to take the higher roads.

Our adversaries are loud right now. They are outraged by our propensity to make fraudulent claims, especially around our financial opportunities. They are telling us at this intersection to take the high road – or else. And, yes, they often lie or demonstrate intentional ignorance to prove their case.

The low roads are rich with easy pickings. They have short term gains. They appeal to our instant gratification culture. I suppose, to the degree we feel desperate to win, we will instinctively go low.

Interesting how our choices lie in our own self-esteem. When we feel weak, scared, dependent, or even angry - we go low.

When we feel love, peace, safety, and power we go high.

What is your level of self-love? What is the self-esteem of your company, community, and team? How will you contribute to the future of our profession by being part of what needs to change? Go low or go high - now is a good time to choose and take action …

The Work Is Worth It,
