Golden Goose and MLM
By: Marcia McGuire
You know the story of the goose that laid the golden egg, but the greedy owners began to think they weren't getting rich fast enough, and, imagining the bird must be made of gold inside, they decided to kill it in order to secure the whole store of precious metal at once.
But when they cut it open they found it was just like any other goose. Thus, they neither got rich all at once, as they had hoped, nor enjoyed any longer the daily addition to their wealth.
When some think of multi-level marketing (MLM), they figure it's a get-rich-quick "loaded goose" and find soon that their lofty dreams of sudden wealth are turned into a chopped up nightmare.
Then adding to their frustration, the disapproving relatives and friends swoop in to say "I told you so. MLM is just a fly-by-night scheme to make innocent people think they can become wealthy when in reality only the rich in company make it to the top.? Sounds like a cut up goose with a fork and a knife doesn't it?
Well, guess what, it isn't that way at all. Before you grab that white MLM goose by the neck, take a good look at what you?re butchering. You might want to keep your feathery friend around, quietly dropping her golden eggs one at a time. She?s an enterprising lady, a free thinker with time on her hands to enjoy life while she turns out her product. Think of the residual income if every once in awhile she produces a batch of little goslings that repeat her efforts. Think of the job security!
Consider also what her downy cousins in the business world produce. Corporate America creams off big profits while diligent birdies at the bottom work long hours to make a living. Those top hawks profit from their salesmen, office workers, service employees, staff, on down to the janitors who labor hard to earn their paychecks with no real hope of getting ahead, let alone earn like the elusive leaders in the company.
Day after day the millions of chickadees work hard with little time left to enjoy family, build their assets or discover their dreams. Add to that, stress which causes health problems and retirement that is meager and in a distant haze, you've painted the job world in its true dull colors. No peacocks here!
When you think of it, the big difference between MLM and corporate America is that you are the CEO of your own company for a minimum investment, with hope for residual income and an opportunity to help others have that same vision which is unlike the stiff competition corporate companies promote.
Those precious golden eggs are multiplied in MLM because the goose doesn't want to fly away. Why should she? There's no rival for her ingenious products and marketing plan. She flies around with other positive birds and is always helping others get their golden lady. Only a few will find her.
That's because it's work to own a golden goose, a job you created that takes effort. And frankly, some people cannot visualize themselves with that kind of responsibility and discipline. It means stretching out of their comfort zone, but totally worth doing. Go for it and fly!
