Two Roads – Which One Are You On?

by Steve Sakal

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled.  And that has made all the difference.” – American poet Robert Frost (1875-1963)

We all have choices. In this Industry there’s the well-worn almost an auto-pilot course of a road called:Hype – False Promises – False Expectations – It’s Easy – I’ll do all the work for you – All you have to do is Join… Unfortunately… This road is traveled the most.

There’s another road that is known for being one that is paved with Integrity – Practicality – Realistic Hope and Expectations – Honesty – Accountability – Mutually Beneficial Relationships…This road is by far Less Traveled. Because of this fact, and it’s a pretty well-kept Secret…

It has to be blazed by the visionaries, the brave, and the ones that know that this road alone guarantees the arrival to the desired Destination – Personal Freedom & Independence for all who are not easily guided off its path.

The choice facing you and I today is this… Which road will I be traveling on today?

Identify for yourself the road you’ve been traveling on, and make sure it’s the one that will get you to your Destination.

The one that will get you to where you want to arrive – has already been tested and proven – over time by literally 1,000′s to be foolproof – if implemented.

The funny thing is – it’s not an obvious Choice to consider – initially. It isn’t very worn and that’s sometimes puzzling at first.

The reason why it’s not very worn is because… It takes people joined together – looking out for the best interest of others – taking slow and deliberate – tested and proven steps – consistently over a period of time – to arrive at the desired destination.

You see the grass is greener on the best road, because it happens to grow there due to the fact it’s traveled less.

It isn’t mainstream.

It does take skill to travel this road, and at a pace that actually protects the path by being worn completely away in the process. You know, from those racing through it – by themselves – at others expense.

Those that choose to go it alone, even on the right path – only end up being lost and off track because they failed to realize the importance of sticking together, and looking out for the best interest of the others they came across in their travels. Those only out for themselves get lost and frustrated because they were bent on – trying to climb over and knock down everyone else – because they were in it for themselves and in a big hurry – looking out for only themselves.

Traveling the right road, the one less traveled – will make all the difference in your Business and in your Life

What a way to make a living!

There are times in everyones life that stands out in your mind as a time when you chose the right way to go. That decision that you made was a life changing event. Hopefully you remember a lot of events that changed you for good. The problem is that we sometimes do make choices that lead us down the wrong way. The poem below depicts that very life changing event and the reasons for either success or failure.

I memorized this poem a number of years ago and unfortunately do not remember or know the authors name. I even made a google search and could not come up with the author. Hopefully I can find the author and give credit where credit is due, but for now the poem makes the point that I wish to share.

HE STOOD AT THE CROSSROADS.

He stood at the crossroads all alone,
The sunlight in his face.
He had no thought for the world unknown—
He was set for a manly race.
But the roads stretched east and the roads stretched west,
And the lad knew not which road was best.
So he chose the road that led him down,
And he lost the race and the victor’s crown.
He was caught at last in an angry snare
Because no one stood at the crossroads there
To show him the better road.

Another day at the self-same place
A boy with high hopes stood.
He, too, was set for a manly race;
He, too, was seeking the things that were good.
But one was there who the roads did know,
And that one showed him which way to go.
So he turned from the road that would lead him down,
And he won the race and the victor’s crown.
He walks today the highway fair
Because someone stood at the crossroads there
To show him the better way.

There is a need for someone to be there in everybodies life, especially when you are at a crossroads. Network marketing is no different. If you ask any of the “gurus” of network marketing you will find that they had a mentor or someone who helped them at the right time to make the right decision that catapulted them to success.

Hopefully, you find that person.
