Are You Chasing The Money?
During a rare moment of downtime earlier today, I had the film Jerry Maguire on the TV. Now whilst this is undeniably not one of Tom Cruise’s best roles, there comes a point in the film where Tom’s character, Jerry, is facing up against his client, a frustrated football player named Rod Tidwell (played by Cuba Gooding Jr), and where Jerry tries to explain to Rod why he isn’t having the success he dreams of. (Sound familiar?)
Jerry points out that his abilities being shown on the pitch are being ruled by his head and not his heart. He’s concentrating on the money he could earn if only the headhunters would put their faith in him.
I don’t know about you, but I always get turned off by someone who is so obviously in it for the money, that it affects how they talk to me. Life is passion-less enough without more money-chasers. For me, I believe that the passion someone shows, is far more attractive than the money they have (or more often don’t have).
Now this is not a post about how to find your true love (sure my wife would wonder why I was posting this if that was the case!). But we must remember that the network marketing industry is about people, and relationships. We must give, without want, to ultimately receive. If you want people to join your opportunity, you must show them the passion you have for the business - the money will come as a natural byproduct if you get this right.
Ultimately, Jerry was right, Rod got his elusive contract, and all was well in Hollywood. Perhaps its time you got your contract too???
