How time flies, how some people fly
I wonder who notices more how time flies so fast, is it the one who had accomplished many within a short period of time, or is it the one who accomplished nothing within that same period of time? Most of the time I belong to the latter, and I beg for more time so I could still accomplish something.
During the Business Building Seminar for TIENS members in the Philippines last May 26, I saw new faces. I was amazed that some of the new faces belonged to a distributor level higher than mine. As a 6-star distributor, that meant my network had a gross sales of more than 18,000USD. A 7-star would mean his or her network had a gross sales of more than 60,000USD, and I’ve seen new faces that have accomplished that, maybe for just a year.
One of those new faces who is now a 7-star shared her secret in one word: FOCUS. Focus in one company, and focus on learning, sharing and selling its products. That means organizing your schedules so that you can perform all the activities associated with focusing to that company and the products.
Although I am not flying yet, I also would like to share my own advice: Choose the company where you intend to focus your time and effort, especially if it is a networking company. It should be a big company or a multinational company like TIENS, with a complete office with departments like HR, Accounting, Logistics, IT, Marketing and Training. It can have more departments but not less. Very important is it should not have a “binary” marketing plan because it will overpay especially if the networker is a seasoned one who knows how to play the game. I was a Systems Analyst so I was able to analyze how, after I thought I was mistakenly overpaid by a networking company based in Singapore, the leaders of which were eventually charged by the Singaporean government.
At the time I could focus on that one company, TIENS, that could have been my lone source of income, I was enticed to try to invest on a product from another company that has no branch here so I coordinated with a second party. I believed the product was so good, an alkaline water filtering system, the same product we had been using for years already. And TIENS didn’t have a similar product, the reason I was easily enticed because it doesn’t conflict with the products of TIENS. But all I can share now about that good and marketable product is my bad experience because the second party who I thought was a trustworthy person swindled me! What a waste of time, effort and money. Please learn from this experience so it will not happen to you! When it comes to expensive products to be marketed, deal with a big company, never with a freelance person!
Right now I have a very valid excuse for not focusing my activities on that one company TIENS, and that is because I am now focused on the education for blind children for my special child. I am praying hard though that there will come a time I could focus on both, and that they could harmoniously complement each other. One is a noble activity, the other one a company with quality health products that had helped a lot of people so I know that is possible. Why I pursued TIENS was a message I got from a missionary who was the speaker in the second seminar I’ve attended in TIENS or Tianshi Philippines: FOCUS ON HELPING OTHERS AND SUCCESS WILL FOLLOW!
