Quit or Take It to the Moon
THE truth is that success in our industry does not result from extensive management.
Success comes from a person with leadership skills having the vision, enthusiasm, and willingness to recruit other frontline leaders who, in turn, use and share the products or
services. Then, simply teach them to duplicate the process.
Larry Pepe was a new networker who experienced a series of nightmares starting up his business: His sponsor quit almost immediately; his upline executive tried to talk him out of
going forward on the accelerated program; of his first twenty-three distributors, twenty-two quit and of his first three in qualification, all failed; one of his “gold stars” was arrested one month before becoming his first executive; another turned out to be a con man who was being sued for fraud; and a heavy hitter from Australia was diagnosed with terminal cancer all of this in the first three months of Larry’s new network marketing business!
Then came the crowning blow—the upline leader who had supported him called to say she would not be available for a while because of personal problems that she needed to resolve.
Larry remembers sitting on the edge of his bed after hanging up the phone, staring blankly into space, thinking “God is testing me. This is it. I either quit or become a leader right now
and take this thing to the moon.” A few minutes later, his mother called and said, for the life of her, she couldn’t understand why a talented young attorney with a master’s degree in clinical psychology who owned a success-ful business would give all of that up to be a vitamin salesman!
Larry is convinced that all of those experiences, especially being left on his own, which forced him to become a leader to his organization, were the best things that ever happened
to him in business. He went to work frontline recruiting and refused to slow down until he achieved his first goal. Today, he and his upline leader work closely together and she fondly
refers to him as Hercules. And the best part, says Larry, is “My mom doesn’t think of me as a vitamin salesman anymore! Thank God for small miracles.” This story teaches us that we need not be managers, and demonstrates that people who have the will to succeed . . . will
succeed . . . regardless of the circumstances.
