Who's Packing your Parachute?

Charles Plumb was a US Navy jet pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was destroyed by a surface-to-air missile.

Plumb ejected and parachuted into enemy hands. He was captured and spent 6 years in a communist Vietnamese prison. He survived the ordeal and now lectures on lessons learned from that experience!

You flew jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk

You were shot down!"

"How in the world did you know that?" asked Plumb.

"I packed your parachute," the man replied. Plumb gasped in surprise and gratitude. The man pumped his hand and said, "I guess it worked !"

Plumb assured him, "It sure did. If your chute hadn't worked, I wouldn't be here today."

Plumb couldn't sleep that night, thinking aboutthat man. Plumb says, "I kept wondering what he had looked like in a Navy uniform: a white hat; a bib in the back; and bell-bottom trousers.

I wonder how many times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how are you?' or anything because,you see, I was a fighter pilot and he was just a sailor.

Plumb thought of the many hours the sailor had spent at a long wooden table in the bowels of the ship, carefully weaving the shrouds and folding the silks of each chute, holding in his hands each time the fate of someone he didn't know.

Now, Plumb asks his audience, "Who's packing your parachute?"

Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day. He also pointsout that he needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down over enemy territory - he needed his physical parachute, his mental parachute, his emotional parachute, and his spiritual parachute. He called on all these supports before reaching safety.

Sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important. We may fail to say hello, please, or thank you, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason. As you go through this week, this month, this year, recognize people who pack your parachutes.
Thank you for your part in packing our parachute. And I hope you will send it on to those who have helped pack yours!Sometimes, we wonder why friends keep for-warding jokesto us without writing a word. Maybe this could explain it:When you are very busy, but still want to keep in touch, guess what you do -you forward jokes. And to let you know that you are still remembered, you are still important, you are still loved, you are still cared for, guess what you get?

A forwarded joke.

So my friend, next time when you get a joke, don't think that you've been sent just another forwarded joke, but that you've been thought of today and your friend on the other end of your computer wanted to send you a smile, just helping you pack your parachute.

Do you have a support team? A must have factor needed to create income from home. A network of peers you can consult and brainstorm with. People who love what they do, who live and breathe success and enthusiasm. Discover the support team and the system to help you create the success you desire.

The choice is yours.

Success Is A Matter Of Expectatiion

You must first expect to succeed if you want to succeed.When you expect good things to happen,strangely enough, they will happen.
Your expectation energizes your goals and gives them momentum.Since your life will always respond to your outlook, set your goals high.
The dreams you choose to believe in will come to be.You can't expect to succeed beyond your wildest expectationsunless you begin with some pretty wild expectations.

Gratitude

"Feeling Gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it."

by: William Arthur Ward

Be grateful for what you have and grateful for things to come.

Dreams of Freedom

It started out as a terrific idea, didn't it? You certainly had pure intent. You just wanted to provide everything your family had never had. You really wanted more time to spend with them. And you wanted to help others just like you to have success in life. How could such a good idea go so bad?

And then some MLM expert came into your life, to help you achieve your dreams. What they said sounded great. Fire your boss, work for yourself, make your own hours, go to your kids' school plays or sporting events instead of working overtime, take your family on exotic vacations, spend your life with the most engaging and successful people. It's hard to imagine even now that those successful people drained your wallet dry and then dumped you.

It was the freedom you really wanted, not the money. Unfortunately, the people who were leading you on really wanted the money. Yours, actually. And you trusted them because they were so successful. You thought they'd help you reach financial freedom, because that would benefit them. The problem was, the way those guys got the good things in life was by fleecing people, not by building them.

So how can you really build a good MLM income? That's what we'll talk about here, several times a week. Hope you'll stick around.

MLM Success

There's an ad that runs a lot online. You see it everywhere. It says, "Put another 20 to 30 people a week to your team." When you talk to them, they charge a LOT of money for their MLM training system. But if your team was growing like that, it would be worth it, right? Some people find the offer irresistible.

Money is one thing. You and I have both wasted it in the past. We'll probably do it again. But to succeed and profit in any home business, you have to be dedicated. It takes blood, sweat, tears, and time. And you've got to be pretty enthusiastic - REALLY enthusiastic - about it to make that commitment. Otherwise, it's just a waste of time.

To be successful in a one-on-one business like network marketing, you have to talk with targeted prospects and build a relationship of "know, like, and trust." Once they see you are a real person and that you play straight with them, then they can begin to trust you. They've heard from people who they don't trust at all, and you have to overcome that. The key skill you must master to be successful is building relationships. That skill increases your ability in all aspects of life, and it's a necessity if you're building a team that will work together.

What is a leader?

So what is a leader? Let's get specific about what it takes for you to be looked at as a leader. You must offer a clear-cut path in a single direction. You can't just offer a choice because people will get into a debate inside their own mind about it. They feel they don't have enough experience to make a good choice, and nothing will happen. The way their thinking goes, they don't know how to get to where they want to be. They will be totally happy following, so long as you grab the lead. Just tell them exactly what they must do. Then their only choice is to follow you or not.


For people to follow you, you must have chosen a path you have very strong belief in. You need total certainty, because any doubt in your voice or in your actions comes through loud and clear to everyone who is looking at you. If you demonstrate the single-minded will to lead in one definite direction, then you have a real opportunity to gather followers. On the other hand, if you run around in several different directions, then people will keep on looking for a leader.

A smart leader knows they can't make anyone do anything for very long. Your team must want to follow you, or it will all fall apart. You promise very specific results, and you spotlight a step-by-step plan to achieve them. It's important to point the way for each team member to walk (or run) their chosen path. When you truly capture the minds and hearts of team members, they subscribe to your plan and commit to their assigned roles … because by doing so, they can picture themselves achieving their life's dream.
