YOU, Inc., Doesn't Have Any Competition!

Do you remember how our parents and teachers used to tell us when we were younger, "there is only one you, you're special"? Well, in my case I thought maybe my parents were saying think God there is no one else like you! Maybe they were, who knows, anyway, I'm not sure if our parents and teachers realized how right they were and I'm positive that they weren't aware of how this message could have a direct impact on the success of your business.

You see I get asked all the time, how can I be successful when there are so many other people doing what I'm doing? I even asked this question when I got started in network marketing and the answer I got came from Mike Dillard and it blew me away. I guess the reality is that I didn't put enough value in myself and the lessons that I'd learned in both my offline and online businesses. We've all got something of value to bring to the table, but for whatever reason a lot of us seem to sell ourselves short, myself included.

Ok, back to the answer I got from Mike Dillard. My question, and the question of many Internet marketers and network marketers was how can I be successful when there are already so many others that are doing what I want to do? The answer is You, Inc.

Huh? That's what I said, huh? You, Inc. is you and how you position you will ultimately determine the success you have. We are all looking for leaders to help us get somewhere we're not sure we can get to on our own. People are not looking for a company, an opportunity, etc. They are looking for someone that is a leader in life that has achieved greatness (however you may define that). So You, Inc. truly doesn't have any competition because there is no one else on the planet with your talents, skills, experiences, etc. Don't get wrapped up in measuring success in terms of the amount of money you've made. I think success is better quantified in the number of opportunities you get on a daily basis to share your experiences, talents, and skills with others that want to improve themselves. When we look at it from this perspective it shifts our focus from I haven't made as much money as I want so I can't help people to I've GOT to share what I know with people becasue I can help them right now, today! Once I did this I noticed a major shift in my attitude and my eagerness to work with others and in turn the success of my business.

Thanks to Mike Dillard and others that have shared this with me I've been able to shift my focus and open my eyes to a new world!
