When you ask a CEO why they get paid so much money and I mean sometimes 100 times more than the lowest paid company employee, the answer is very revealing.  From their point of view; it never has anything to do with their actual education, their successes and accomplishments or their ability to work hard.  Their answer is because they can communicate their value.  The value of the company they represent and the future perceived value from how they can improve any company’s strongest asset, the employees.  When I ask myself how is that different from being a Network Marketer, I find it is not.

A CEO is the person at the top of the corporate pyramid.  A CEO is the “keeper of the vision”.   A great CEO keeps the company on track to achieve that vision. Substitute the word family for company and think about the decisions, sacrifices and actions you take for your vision of your family.

A CEO is resourceful.  They give more than they take every day. They don’t give up.  If the wall is too high, they back down and find a way to go around.  Your organization is your family, how do you manage, grocery shopping on a budget, driving the kids around, fitting everything into your day, coming up with solutions when you run out of money or run out of time?

A CEO makes good decisions.  Decisiveness is something a great CEO has to possess.  What decisions do you make every day for your family’s survival, safety and future?

A CEO is courageous.  It takes courage to fire somebody and it takes courage to sign a merger agreement.  Have you fired a plumber, contractor, babysitter, have you changed doctors, hired an insurance agent, lawyer or real estate agent?  Picked a school, bought a car or anything that required making decisions in everyday life for what is best for your family?

A CEO has an eye for talent. How do you select the people from above?

Let me ask you, what do you get paid for?  You know on your job, what do you get paid for?  No matter how you answer that question, what you really get paid for is your TIME!  Whether you perform a process, a function, customer service or sales, you get paid for the time you put in and how the value of what you do is perceived by the organization you work in.

As a Network Marketer or a CEO you get paid for keeping your vision, your resourcefulness, making good decisions, being courageous and having an eye for talent.  Time is not relative to your income, time is relative to how you learn to master the above as part of your lifestyle and incorporate it into your everyday living experience.  Your life goes on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, you live and have experiences and perform the same skills as a CEO every single day.  As a Network Marketer you earn income living everyday doing exactly what you do in your life now; paying attention and talking to people.

You talk to people….

As a Network Marketer you have a product or service you believe in as passionately as a CEO believes in his company.  You have an organization to build and you do that by doing what a CEO does every day and what you do now anyways, just talk to people.

The only difference is, right now who pays you to tell everyone about the great restaurant you had dinner at last night?  Who pays you to rave about the current reality show your watching?  Who pays you to promote or put down the new product you are trying?  You do it though, every day, bless your heart!  You are a promoter and denouncer of all commercial items you experience.  You also make many CEOs very happy.  You are doing the job they want you to do for them and you do it for free!  Well actually the cost of getting you to do it is built in the product cost so when you buy or pay; you not only pay for the product, you pay for the cost of motivating you to promote it to everyone all the time too!

You talk to people every day like a CEO, you make all the same decisions about your life like a CEO and if you were a Network Marketer you would be building an income from everything you do every day just like a CEO. Are you ready to be the CEO of your life?
