Learning to Lean

Sometimes it's not easy to learn to lean on someone else. We've been conditioned to think that it's weak or that we lose our independance or power by needing someone else to help. That's why a lot of people try to do everything alone and work themselves too hard and end up being burned out and tired before they retire.

My dad was a workaholic and died at the age of forty.

I vowed never to work so hard that I had no time for myself or

my family or to do the things I wanted to do, things that I enjoy

and not just work, work and more work. Daddy was always gone

and I only saw him on the days he preached and briefly on Saturdays

or Wednesday nights. And even on Saturday it was more work, we would

have to do the yard and the hedges and the cleaning of the house. It was

nice having him home for a little bit but we never had any quality family time.

Our vacations were always just trying to do everything we could in one day

and rushing everywhere and never taking any time to just sit and talk or reflect

on things. So I never really got to know him other than that he had a good sense

of humor and liked to play pranks on people. 

He was a good provider and we had everything we could want or need as far

as material things, but what I needed the most was missing from my life.

I needed a dad to be around more and to talk to about the things of life that

really mattered.

If he had taken that time for himself he might still be here today.

That's the main reason I decided to get into network marketing.

When you work with other like-minded people you have someone to

help you when you need help and they can take up the slack and

make it easier for you. That's what it's all about.

When you see someone who needs a helping hand it's good to be able

to help them and when it's you who needs the hand it's great to be able

to reach out and simply ask them for the help you need.

Develop relationships with people first. Don't just bombard them with ads.

It's the relationship that counts, not the opportunity. The opportunity can come

at any time and then you have the people to come in with you.

Anyway, there's my two cents. I hope it sinks in and that you can use it for

what it's worth.
