The Main Event

By a show of hands, how many of you have ever been in an MLM before?

Thanks, you can put your hands down.

Now, raise your hand if you have ever tried to lose weight? Stop smoking? Get into better shape? Write a book? Do anything difficult?

One of the realities of life is that we often end up "failing" more than we end up succeeding, especially if the task is hard. Yet, many of us jump into the ring again, full of hope and resolve, wiser and more experienced than before.

Why?

Because we WANT TO WIN! We want the thrill of victory regardless of the possible agony of defeat.

We believe...in ourselves.

Some people will never understand it. They aren't the type to venture much. They play it safe and stretch only as far as their fear allows them. They actually hate failure more than they want success...so they don't try.

The world needs them. They're steady and stable, reliable, do their jobs and make their employers happy.

And they REALLY don't like the uncertainties of network marketing.

We all know someone like this. And it's likely they didn't sign up for our MLM. In fact, they probably tried to talk us (and everyone else) out of it. And they think they are doing us a favor.

It's ok. I'm glad they exist. I'm just not expecting them to sign up in Kyani.

No, I'm looking for fighters with strong legs and a lot of heart. Young people who are still full of hopes and dreams. Older people who might not move as quickly, but know how to get around the ring. I'm looking for people who have been in 1...2...5...10 MLMs before and haven't made it big yet...but still yearn to.

So, as Rocky Balboa might say, if you still have "somethin' down here, ya know, in da basement," grab your gloves and climb into the ring...cuz we're getting ready to rumble!
