Wisdom for the Wise

“We make a living by what we get, We make a life by what we give”
~Winston Churchill~

This is one of the best known natural laws in the universe that we all
know about , the other name for it is the Law of Sowing and Reaping.

“ As you sow, so shall you reap.”  Every one of us has heard this at
one time or another in our life in church , in school, or from some leader.

What you give out will come back to you every time.  It’s like the law of
gravity — what goes up must go down.  I never hear about a person
who does good things for people and bad things come back to him.  No,
that is why it is also a bible principal that “whatever you sow, so shall
you reap.”  It does not just refer to seeds of flowers or corn or maize,
but also words or deeds.

The other principle link to this law is the Law of Time, which many people
do not understand, and is why so many people give up on their
business —especially in network marketing.Let’s look at a perfect
example — the Chinese bamboo tree.  If you plant it now, it will take 5 years
before it starts to grow, but then, with the proper care, it only takes 6 weeks it
grow 90 feet tall.  However, if you were not to give it water during that first 5
years, it would not grow and it would eventually die.The same is true in your life.

Things don’t happen overnight. Yes, you can fall in love over night, but if you do not give  love every day, it will die, as a flower with out water. The same with
your MLM or networking business.  You can decide to join a business in one
moment, but the moment does not give momentum. You have to provide the
momentum for your business by going out and reaching out to people consistently every day for the next 2 to 3 years on the average in order to get where every networker wants to be, and that is financial freedom.

Yes, you do have companies that pay out big fast-start commissions, but you
need to keep on building and help your team every day.  That is the water for
your MLM tree.  The big fast-start bonuses will not put you into Financial freedom. It’s only like getting a free tank of petrol when you buy your new car, but you have to keep putting petrol in it in order to keep on driving.

Before you can reach the point of financial freedom  where you can give out
money and do good things with it, you need to first give your time, love, help,
and good energy to your team, and what you give will come back to you.  If you
give only 5%, then 5% percent or less will come back to you.  But if you give
100%, then 100% or more will come back to you.

Let’s look at one last example to explain the Laws of Time and Giving.  If you plant a young tree today, you can’t sit under its shadow the next day or week or even a year.  No, it takes years to grow until it is a big and strong tree where you can sit under it and enjoy the beauty and the shade in the  summer.  And some trees grow so big that you and your whole family can sit under them.

The same is true for your business.  You need to give everything you have before you can sit under your business tree with your team and enjoy the benefits of true financial freedom.

So ask yourself, what did I give to my business and my team today?  Was it my time? My help and support?  Did I set an example?  Was it a good or bad example? Because examples leave footprints that will either lead to financial failure or to financial freedom.
