Mom and Pop together with the Geese that lays Golden Eggs.

This applies to business and how managers should treat people so they perform at their best.
A man and his wife had a farm. They had a flock of geese and made a business bringing the eggs to town each day and selling them. The couple was known locally as "Mom and Pop."
Two of the geese were unusually well-tempered and the couple gave them extra affection and food. One day, the two favored geese surprised the couple by laying golden eggs.
Mom and Pop were so delighted that they praised the two geese lavishly and rewarded them with even more affection and food. All this attention resulted in two more golden eggs the next day.
The couple began to dream of riches. What if they could get all the geese to lay golden eggs? So they admonished and cajoled the whole flock to follow the example of the two prized geese.
The next day, no golden eggs were produced. Alarmed, the couple lectured the geese about their duty to perform and warned of reduced rations if they didn't produce the gold.
The following day, fewer eggs were produced than ever, and none of them were made of gold. Worried that their future fortune was in jeopardy, the couple stormed through the flock with a broom, shouting at them and threatening them.
When Mom and Pop went to check for produce the next morning, they saw that all the geese were gone.

Moral: A mistreated goose will not lay a golden egg. Know the true source of your profit, and nourish it rather than exploiting it.

FACTS ABOUT BEING INSIDE NETWORK MARKETING

Image
Building a big organization in Network Marketing is a solo journey on the first part. When you decide to get involved in Network Marketing, you may find a lot of people in your life, some won’t believe in this new business model. That alone can be isolating. You’re building a business by yourself. You’re making the calls, doing the follow-up, going to appointments, making your lists—but you’re by yourself a lot. That’s one of the reasons attending your company events and meetings is so important: it keeps you connected with the same business-minded people.  I’ve come to realize that building a Network Marketing business is no different than being an entrepreneur in any other field. You separate yourself from most people in the world, and you become one of the 5 percent. 19 of 20 people aren’t going down the same path you’re going down: 1 out of 20 are. But they’re usually so busy with their own entrepreneurial endeavor that they don’t have the time to interact and frankly,...

The Dreamers

Image
Everyone has dreams, but not everyone dreams in the same way. My rich dad taught me that there are five kinds of dreamers:  * Those who dream in the past * Those who dream only small dreams * Those who achieve a dream, and then live bored * Those who dream big dreams, but with no plan on how to go about achieving them, so end up with nothing * Those who dream big, achieve those dreams, and go on to dream even bigger dreams!  Those Who Dream In The Past
 These are the people who believe that their greatest achievements are behind them. They will regale you with stories of their college days, their army days, their high-school football days, their life on the farm where they grew up; but try to engage them in a conversation about the future, and they’ll probably just shake their heads and say, “Ahh, the world’s gone to hell in a handbasket.”  A person who dreams in the past is a person whose life is over. They may not be dead, but they are no...

THE INS AND OUTS OF NETWORK MARKETING

Image
There are many diverse opinions when it comes to Network Marketing. Some people will swear by Network Marketing, whereas others will swear Network Marketing is a scheme where only a few make money and the ones on the bottom of the tier make little to no money.  One of the main issue with people who are against Network Marketing is that there is a potential for abuse by unscrupulous businesses that take advantage of them, pocketing their money and returning very little in the way of dividends to the investor. One of the key areas of abuse with Network Marketing is what is known as the ‘Pyramid Schemes,’ so it would be right at the outset to explain what Network Marketing is and the difference between legitimate Network Marketing companies and Pyramid Schemes. What is Network Marketing, exactly? Network Marketing is a business model that relies on a distribution network to build the business.  Network Marketing business structures are Multilevel Marketing in nature,...
