"Oh I'm So Embarrassed!" She Cried...
Author: Kim Klaver

During a recent class, one gal, Trudy, said she got into the
business thinking that this'd be a great way to make
$10,000/mo. Afterall, she'd been a professional accountant for
20 years...why couldn't she do this?

Only it wasn't happening very fast, and she'd been at it for
three years now, she said.

So we did a quick exercise...

"If your company pays you an average of 5% of all the money you
bring into the company, (through product orders of your
customers, recruits, and their customers and recruit orders),
how much money (i.e. business, BV/PV) do you have to bring into
your company each month, to earn $10,000/mo?"

Silence in the room. Then, a small voice...

"$20,000?"

"$100,000?"

"Ohmigawd! $200,000!"

Trudy had calculated it. She was mortified.

"I've been an accountant my entire career, and NEVER thought to
figure this out," she cried. "How could I have been so blind?
How could I not have seen this before?! Oy vey, I'm SO
embarrassed!"

All hung their heads in agreement.

Trudy had had amnesia. So dazzled was she by the big money
being flashed in front of the room and the relentless pitching
every week about how easy it was.

"But now," announced Trudy, "I'm telling all my folks what it
takes to make what they want, and we can go after it. Let's
see, with 100 customers..."

How many people's backgrounds, experience, training, natural
gifts and talents, and just plain common sense have been
subconsciously put on a mental shelf, out of reach, when the
money dazzlers are talking?

After all, didn't those successful big promoters in front of
the room say the big money was easy? And that cute one, well,
he was just a waiter before, wasn't he? So why bother with
anything you knew before (except your list)?

Trudy's brain heard that and obliged her. Anmesia set in and
that was that.

Do you know a similar story?
