Hi Everyone,
Ok, here’s where it gets a little greasy for me. (As in hard to control)
Because as I love people, I mean I really Love people and probably care to much sometimes. But sometimes, I just don’t like people. Here I am, strolling along on my path to greatness, and the minute I try to explain what I’m doing to people they start in with the negatives. Don’t get me wrong, fear has a way of making people block new things, so I expected some kick-back but I mean Coooome Oooooon, people can’t you just wait and see?
My friends and family want to know what’s taking up so much of my time these days and so I had to tell them something. I explained, Neothink, without saying the name, as a Business Network Marketing program where highly skilled individuals, in any field, can give you the tools and mentorship to chase your dreams or work in your dream job.”
Now coming from me, an amateur serial entrepreneur, they are used to me getting sucked in to a new project or idea, but now that I have this great new tool to back up all my great ideas… no respect. LOL! its like the boy who cried wolf or something… many of my businesses have made money so it’s not like they don’t believe in Me, it’s that they don’t believe what is happening for Me can happen for Them. They always say things like, “they aren’t me” and “that’s just your thing”, my mom, bless her heart, thinks I should run for president, so she will champion anything I tell her, even if she has no interest in really understanding what I’m doing she just knows how to be supportive as is concept with most of the main people I want to get involved. They see me doing “great things” but they can’t see how to get to those great things that they can accomplish and I want to help them…I’m going to help them.
So this past weekend was my best friend’s birthday and so I spent about 4 days with our closest friends and family trying to figure out how to help them. I made it my business to be more “them”, not talk about business, and have fun! I was in charge of setting up our outings, so I tried to plan things they liked, even if I hadn’t done it before. Oddly enough the less I tried to talk about me, the more they wanted to know about “how things were going?”
One night out, when I found myself throwing money at the strip club it all clicked. LOL! While at first I felt a little out of place there, everyone around me was having so much fun, I realized the strippers were playing at work! Stick with me….Then, we went to have massages, they were all so carefree and happy after that event that they gravitated to me even more and started saying, “When can we do this again?”
I realized that as long as my friends were having fun, and the workers were having fun and I was having fun, I was in! I tested it a few more times and as I transitioned from the “responsible one” to the “fun one” in the group everyone wants to know what I’m doing! Even in the fun environment they wanted to talk about their business plans, ideas and personal/family developments. It was like having fun with me allowed them to feel more open about the serious topics even though we weren’t in a serious setting….Go figure
My question is, now that I have their attention, how do I take all of my fun loving, hard working, talented friends and family from the place where they are now, to the c of u?
This is where I need the most help. I have plans, I’ve found a building, I have a growing sphere of like minded yet diverse individuals and I have a billion ideas on how to make them all wealthy, but I have to get them to the river before I can even offer them a drink :-/
So on the concept of fun, and seeing that having fun is the easiest way to bring my girlfriends together. I am having a “girls night” with my friends ( and invited guest) once or twice a month to keep the fun in our lives. They put me in charge of the fun! Now, I have the platform, I just need to figure out how to best present them with opportunities in these meetings as well. Plus, I’m not broke anymore (lol) but I don’t have the resources to pull off something this big and continue to support my family. I’ve always been a very private person so the “society of secrets” won’t shock them that much but I believe getting them to see how they belong, and getting them to invest in the idea may take some serious back up from my mentors. Please help me put it all together…
Keep Evolving Everyone!
