The flight attendant leaned forward and quietly
whispered to me, “I’m looking for her.”
We were on a short one-hour flight from
Bemidji, Minnesota to Minneapolis. The commuter
jet only carried 31 passengers and I happened to be in
the first row. When the flight attendant sat down, she
was literally face-to-face and knee-to-knee with me. In a
space that small, I thought I might as well have a pleas-
ant time with this person I was looking at directly. After
chatting for a few minutes, she shared her search with
me.
The flight manifest indicated that one passenger was
the same individual who was in the national news that
week—a single 21-year-old whose life had instantaneously
been irrevocably and dramatically changed. Four days
earlier, she won the entire Powerball Lottery for over 150
million dollars.
When the flight landed, I stood there at baggage claim
surveying the small group of passengers trying to guess
which individual had just stumbled into wealth. I would
have enjoyed meeting this young woman and having the
opportunity to congratulate her. I was excited for her
because I love to see people win . . . even when it happens
only because of luck. Curiously, I could not pick out from
this small group of people the one whose life was now so
different. Every young woman on the flight looked equally
capable of being the winner.
In network marketing, the same thing is true —
in a group of ten or 1000 people, everyone is equally capable
of being a winner. This is the aspect of our business I find
so fascinating. Anyone can have his or her life and finan-
cial circumstances wonderfully transformed. Age, education, experi-
ence, and economics do not determine who sits in the win-
ners’circle.
But I find that most people, including those who come
out of the finest MBA programs, have never been taught
how successful people work, how entrepreneurs think,
and how wealth is earned. Without this knowledge, people
often get involved with network marketing, work as hard
as they can with total sincerity, and see only minimal
results. In the process, success becomes an elusive goal,
an unsolved riddle, and a mystery.

Mike and I LOVE Dr. Tom Barrett: in my opinion he is the foremost motivator I've ever listened to -- or read. If you haven't read Dr. Tom, look for one of his speeches or books and enjoy! And you might find us featured in one of them...

And, NO, YOU don't have to read Dr. Tom, or anyone else, in order to create a great income with your MG business.
I just enjoy a good motivational kick-in-the-derriere every now and then... like this:
KEEP GOING!!
