The Greedy vs. The Needy

     I have heard it say over and over from serious Network Marketers that they wish or can’t wait until they recruit someone on their business team who has the same attitude and work ethic that they do. I also know one top leader in Network Marketing who would often say, “If everyone on my business team thought and worked like I do how much more money would I be making today?” His statement is 150% correct! Most serious Network Marketers recruit people onto their business who in the beginning just want to make extra money. You have to recruit a lot of people before you encounter a recruit who is truly serious about using his or her business opportunity as a vehicle for financial freedom. This determination is based on his or her attitude, and work ethic. 

     So, how do we find the person who is willing to use their business opportunity in their Network Marketing Company as vehicle for financial freedom? I believe this can best be answered by what type of people you are looking for. I prefer to look for a greedy person instead of a needy person. 

What Are You Serious Gary!?!? Yes, Indeed I Am!!!!

     Growing up most of us was taught that being greedy is a bad thing. However, I would say that this depends on how you look at who’s being greedy and for what reason. For example, most of us have heard the story of BernieMadoff, and how he swindled a lot of people in a Ponzi Scheme. Now, this fella was as greedy as they come, but in an evil way. The type of greedy person I am talking about is the person who is not comfortable in their situation and is willing to pay the price to achieve more. However, they DO NOT hurt others in their pursuit of what they want. 

     I hope this is making some type of sense, if not, and then maybe this can help. I had a full-time job in law enforcement in which I was making close to $100,000 a year. Now, to some people that is a lot of money. To me at the time it was however; there was one major flaw; no time freedom. So, me being the “greedy” person I am, I choose to leave that profession so I could have the opportunity to make more than the money the law enforcement job was paying me, but also with time freedom. This is the type of greedy person that I am talking about. A person who is willing to whatever price it takes to get what he or she deserves or what they truly want.

     Why is this so different from a needy person? A needy person is a person who needs this opportunity because their current finances are in average or below average situation in which they could use the extra money or a career change. However, they are completely not willing to do the work necessary to change their current situation. They are always complaining that they need or want more, but when it comes time to do the work they are constantly MIA (missing in action.) This person is what I consider to be a needy person and I prefer to work with a greedy person versus a needy person any day of the week.

     So, if you want to grow a successful Network Marketing business then focus on searching for greedy people versus needy people. In one of my future blogs I will show how to identify greedy people who are willing to pay the necessary price to win in business. Subscribe to my blogs so you don’t miss out.
