Business
We are building your army of skills today. And why is that? This is the build your army podcast. And in this episode, we are going to build our army of skills. Why? Because as I came clean to you guys in a previous episode, I am in the network marketing business or industry, however, I never felt that the network marketing business was enough on its own, and that is the unpopular opinion. But it's true, and I'll tell you why it's true, new work marketing the product or the service on its own is an offer that should be used as an offer as part of a bigger business. And I'll explain why, if you leave that network marketing organization to go to another one, if you did not market yourself as your brand or your own brand identity or company, and you leave, you basically are starting from scratch, and the truth of the matter is… And nobody wants to do that, of course. So build your own brand and then use the network marketing offer as an option, as part of your bigger offers as an offer within your company, and the reason for that is because you don't actually own the network marketing business that you are selling for, or that you are distributed for… You are actually an affiliate marketer or a reseller, and I'll tell you why, you do not set the commission rate, somebody else makes that decision for you, you do not control the products that are sold or the programs that are introduced, somebody else does that… You did not create the terms and conditions of the business that you're operating under, somebody else did that, they could take that away from you at any moment, so I… It's happened to companies actually, because they did some shady stuff, or I might not even have been that they did shady stuff, and they just decided they wanted to change their business model, but they were getting some grief from, he gets to AFC the regulates that… And so they just decided to, instead of operating at risk, they just canceled everybody's but distribution and went from multi-level marketing to direct sales, so you couldn't get paid from the organization anymore. How would you like to do that? dedicate 10 years of your life building an organization and then more… Take it away from me. Would then that just suck. Yeah, I would. So why are we building skills because those that have skills get paid healthily, if Bentley… I don't know what it's to re, they get paid well for their skills because they're adding value to the world, and then you become an authority, and then you influence people and then you attract people to you, and the fastest way to become an authority figure is to teach your skill. If you don't feel like you have one, you probably do, but if you feel like you don't go out and learn a skill, and I know you're probably thinking, Well, who am I to be learning a skill and then teach it to somebody else. I used to think that as well, however, if you know more than the person you're teaching the subject to, you are automatically an authority figure because you know more than that person, you do not have to know everything there absolutely is. To know about a subject, I don't think anybody ever does, but if you know more than the person you're teaching it too, in their eyes, you are ahead of them. So you are the expert. Also, the fastest way to learn something is to teach it to someone because you will learn it at a deeper level and have a deeper understanding for what you're teaching, because you force your mind to look at it in a simpler way and completely understand it, because you can't explain something to somebody that you don't understand, and so by forcing yourself to then teach it to somebody else, it will accelerate your learning… How do I know that? Because I used to be a teacher, I was a part-time teacher at night for the mortgage industry, as I've touched on before, a financial industry background. So part-time, I used to teach the mortgage industry to adults that we're getting into the mortgag...
