What inspired me in the beginning were the various stories I heard about people who were making this business work. What my sponsor did for me was not just talking about the company or the product, he talked about the future and as I've said before, I was a very discontent young 31 year old and I needed a future. Here is the most important part: I KNEW I NEEDED A FUTURE. I had what many considered a "good job" because it looked good on the outside. Had a company car, expense account, and it was with a Fortune 500 company. Very good company, but in my eyes, while it was a good job, there was no future for me.
Here is my point to you today: the promise of a future is a very compelling story. I heard a few stories. I met the people later and was impressed. I was curious, inspired, and excited about what I heard and saw at meetings. A question I have been asked for years is, "how do you motivate people?" I have learned that in my view that isn't the right question. The right question in my view is, "what motivates people?"
Ideas are what motivate and inspire people. Think about that for a minute. Ideas motivate people. My job as I see it isn't to try hard to motivate people. My job is to put the right idea in front of the people who are willing to take a look at our business and show them some great ideas. Here are some ideas: earn a car payment....residual income....help people build their health....earn more from your part-time efforts than you do from your full-time job....travel the world....live debt free....pay for your kids' college without taking a loan.....earn an extra $3000 to $5000 a month....
IDEAS MOTIVATE PEOPLE.
So, let me suggest the following: learn how to present the idea of a wonderful future that is so compelling it gives people reasons to look for answers to their questions, and the desire to be involved in something because they heard ideas that motivated them.
Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
