I just returned from Kiev, Ukraine, where I did a two-day seminar on network marketing. One of the sessions I did was titled "Seize Your Dream." And I must say, the 900 people I had in attendance were certainly doing that.
In addition to the many people from all over Ukraine, there were attendees from Hungary, Latvia, Russia, and all of the former Russian Republics that I can’t spell other than to tell you they end in "-stan."
These people drove for days, took trains all night, and sacrificed a small fortune in their money to attend. But they came with a dream and the determination to live it.
They waited in line for as long as two hours to get their copies of my books signed. More than a few of which were published on the street by counterfeiters. But even the goddamned counterfeiters seize opportunity over there. They set up tables offering my books in the middle of the subway station next door to the convention hall, where most people arrived.
My seminar promoter sent the police to chase them away. The police reported there was nothing they could do, since the pirates had taken the time to get all of the necessary permits!
It reminds me of the situation when I introduced network marketing in Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia, and Bulgaria in the Nineties. We opened Croatia in the middle of the war with Serbia. I used to do opportunity meetings at the Intercontinental Hotel in Zagreb. Some distributors had to drive 12 hours to attend, because they had to detour hundreds of miles around Serb occupied territory. The government introduced a 40 percent tax on cosmetics (our primary product line) the week we opened.
But none of that stopped these people…
They had spent 40 years under repression, and they weren’t about to let any minor details like that stand in their way. You still see the same thing in the Asian countries. People rising from the most difficult conditions to build a business. Like we always say, "When your dream is big enough, the facts don’t count!”
So how are you doing on following your dream of building a network marketing organization? Are you seizing the opportunity you have, or taking it for granted?
Have a great week!
