3 BIG Lessons about a Co-operative Home Business with Own Your Channel versus Trump's Celebrity Showdown
Even busy networkers relax on Sunday evenings and while "surfing" the channels, I caught the last half hour or so of Donald Trump’s latest Celebrity Apprentice show. He was making a decision about who would hear his famous "You’re fired." It made me happy because $100,000 was raised through hamburger sales for a diabetes charity. That’s a good thing because Type 2 diabetes is one of the fastest growing health problems especially with children. But the ending also made me very unhappy just based on how the final boardroom decision was handled. The image of a butterfly stuck on a pin came across clearly.
The women’s team raised the least amount of money (could it be because they sold hamburgers for $25 versus the men’s team with $100 offerings). So by the rules of competition someone on the women’s team had to be removed or downsized. The implication was this person was the least helpful and productive and would be voted off by peers’ consensus.
Well, here’s where the CEO ran into some demonstrative frustration..enough to make him utter "bleeped" words. The question posed to each woman was "Who most contributed to your team’s failure and who would you fire?" Each woman seemed uncomfortable in pinning blame because they cooperatively felt that each one had done diverse responsibilities well. I think women’s nature tends to affinity, nurture and group protection. In the end, they were forced, and I choose this word carefully, to eliminate one of their own…who just happened to be creative and accomplished in her own right..but older, as if that had anything to do with it…
Therefore, here are 3 lessons to learn from this showdown:
Lesson #1: unhappy endings are not good for the public psyche and repress people's hopes...
WHY? it gives the public perception that business success is somehow determined by numbers only, by competition, appearance, contacts, and status.
The view is that it’s a "dog eat dog world" out there..and who would venture out to "swim with the sharks." If such high achievers get battered, then I don't even have a prayer...I'd be the "biggest loser." Even working long hours, getting paid minimum wage by a difficult boss would be more acceptable than entrepreneurship.
Lesson #2: stronger belief that co-operation and even weak links build network marketing success
WHY? A network marketing home business is the best way for women and men to make some serious supplementary money from home. But again, this particular home business model needs to be done right with integrity and compassion to help…not to find reasons to eliminate each other. In fact, it can be said that network marketing works because it can be also be based on the weakest links. The basic functions are the same...leverage information, duplicate simple plan, and earn residual money from multiple levels. Everyone who has a strong enough WHY reason or dream can follow 3 simple steps, irrespective of background, age, education, ethnicity, experience or culture.
This is why programs that stress celebrity success at the risk of demoralizing more personal perceptions can do more harm than good. We watch and classify how top people are beaten down. How can we detach from their fears, disapprovals or indecisions? Where do our dreams fit in? Maybe our WHY is not worthy enough? Maybe there is too much grinding, struggling, chest-thumping and brow-beating to reach it.
Lesson #3: continued wholehearted endorsement of social network of entrepreneurs called Own Your Channel.
Why? The name of the show is Inclusion..not Exclusion. Everybody is welcome to participate with a few simple steps to success. It's about sharing a powerful video and webinar. In fact, if there is a "cause for firing"..it is because you talked too much instead of letting experts tell the whole story for you. It’s $9 a month ($15 entry fee). You become part of the Entrepreneurs Assembly Line. You get your questions answered politely. When ready you can join profitable companies. You don’t need massive training to be the best you can be..it's not about company, product or compensation…it’s about you and what you hope to achieve as an independent home business team owner.
You will be invited to join a new affiliation with LGN (Little Guy Network). If the one time entry fee is unmanageable, you will be placed in Clearing House for sponsorship.
The power of your WHY is possible and welcome here. A corporate CEO will host the webinars for you. You will NOT hear the words "You're fired" but sincerely hope you DO get fired up instead after watching the video and webinar.
Questions and comments are always welcome.

Home Business..You've Got Talent if you can Follow 3 Simple Steps
Home business..you’ve got talent if you can follow 3 simple steps
It is such a thrill to watch talent shows like America's Got Talent and this season’s final performance was exceptional.
One theme seems to shine through these discoveries and performances. It is when the underdog realizes he or she has an unrealized talent finally, suddenly shared, appreciated and applauded.
It’s like a middle-aged Susan Boyle who never was given the chance to sing and now “wild horses” can't hold her back.
It's about a beautiful opera singer who overcame cancer, a recycled-instrument percussion group from New Hampshire who never gave up on their dream, amazing Texas Tenors and the unbelievable singing siblings of true Voices of Glory with a young sister only 9 years old, and a septenarian grandmother with a priceless wit.
And its like Kevin Skinner, a chicken catcher or farmer from a small town in Kentucky with such the saddest expression and a heart-felt voice about life’s basic emotions who won the top prize.
A stronger contrast of possibilities is hard to imagine from the quiet hills of Kentucky to the glitz of Las Vegas headliner..it boggles the mind.
But that is the very nature of possibilities and following one’s dream.
And therein lies a valuable lesson for home business opportunity seekers or entrepreneurs..
We all have talent…maybe not in the same league as singing or dancing that has been perfected with years of practice and perseverance.
But we all have ability in speaking and sharing and caring about making a difference.
We all deserve something special in our lives..an acknowledgement..a self-satisfaction ..a celebration of more time and money..more freedom to live life on our own terms.
A successful home business can permit us to do that.
We may not have the time, commitment and development to become a sports star, sales professional or other kind of celebrity. We may not have the faces or bodies to succeed in certain fields.
But I believe we all deserve something different from a life routine that may feel limited, dull, repetitive, boring, even faceless. We all deserve to at least have a CHOICE to leave something for future generations.
We deserve to follow our dreams, too.
Here is what one well know writer, Stuart Goldsmith, has to say about your dreams:
"You probably had the glimmer of a dream when you were a youngster, but this was soon knocked out of you. Your parents undoubtedly called your dream unrealistic. Then, to the sound of a points-lever being pulled, they suggested to you that you get a 'practical' education in order that you might follow your dream at a later date.
"I am not implying any malevolence here, you need to remember that your parents, and all preceding generations did not have the luxury of fancy life-planning. The name of their game was survival. To survive you needed money. To get money you needed a good job. To get a good job you needed a good education. They pulled those levers on you for the best of intentions, but the result was a disaster for your fledgling ambitions."
This message was reinforced by teachers, friends and career advisers..Throughout these years, you learned the trick of suppressing your dream. You simply could not maintain this dream in the face of such ordered opposition and so you buried it in a secret place within you.
"Then the pace of life started really to heat up, and problems started to come at you like a pack of hungry jackals. No time for fancy, childish dreams now. All of your energies were involved, and probably still are involved, in fighting off the pack of slavering dogs.
Dreams are... well, for dreamers.
There is a life to be lived, food to put on the table, a mortgage to be paid and other people to worry about. If you even remember your dream, you probably fool yourself into thinking you'll pick it up later, when the family has grown up, when you are retired. Some time.
"The tragedy here is that most people's dreams become so deeply buried they not only forget what they are, but even forget that they had a dream in the first place.
"Certainly, few people can put a name to their dream. Instead, they sit in the sidings, rusting away, perhaps (if this is not pushing the railway analogy too far) hoping that some bright, gleaming locomotive will arrive one day to pull them to safety. Is it any wonder that they are depressed?"
I’m not sure to what degree you can relate to these thoughts.
But one thing is for certain. YOU are the locomotive, my dear friend. The help you are waiting for is YOU. Only you can do the work needed to get the locomotive moving forward. Only you can squander your time waiting for the "right train."
Success of a dream does not depend on hopes, prayers, affirmations, or ceremonies.
Realization of a dream does not depend on reading a thousand positive thinking books or listening to a hundred seminars to pull you through.
No magic or luck or supernatural force will shine upon you.
You need to click the start button.
You don't need a complicated "engineering" degree. You need to take the first few steps and share simple tools with people who also want to change.
You don't want a pile of excuses, like logs, to obstruct you. Excuses do not exist in reality..just as mental manifestations...
Don’t keep putting off that dream until tomorrow because days will turn into weeks, months and then years. And sometimes it turns out we don’t have a lot of time left.
A wise man once said: "MOTION BEATS MEDITATION"
Tomorrow is today, my friend. For goodness sake... set aside 30 minutes today to get started toward your dream. Just 30 short minutes! Do SOMETHING in those 30 minutes that will move you a little bit closer to that dream.
