Luck – prosperity or poverty thinking?

Are you still looking for the four leaf clover or the rabbit’s foot? Of course not because you know that the harder we work, the luckier we get – you don’t need that stuff. We are all true network marketing professionals. I wonder…..

Do know how a lie detector machine works? You tell a lie and someone hears your words but the machine picks up more subtle things like heart beat. Those subtle signals reveal the truth. So where does this fit with luck?

Believing in luck is rooted in a mentality of lack – poverty thinking.Of course you don’t believe in luck, but just maybe your actions betray that. Recently I was talking to a fellow distributor in my network marketing company who made a reference to buying a lottery ticket. Is that a big deal? I’m afraid so. You see the lottery concept is a huge scam. The chances of winning are like looking for a snowflake in the Arctic. It appeals to get rich quick people and losers; people who can often hardly afford to eat well but who waste money on the ‘lotto’. In some countries a percentage is siphoned off for worthy causes but this is like the gangster who puts some money in the church collection plate on Sunday to try and sanctify his blood money.

So think carefully what the thinking is behind things like that when you do them.

Do you recall what Jim Rohn used to say about when he started in network marketing? When he was still poor, he used to focus on how it would be when he was wealthy. In a restaurant he would ‘tip like a rich man’, because he knew he was headed for riches. Now how does that apply to some of your daily actions?

Are you the kind of person who is always looking for a bargain? Do you always go to sales and cut price stores? Do you feel you have achieved something if you found an item cheaper than your friend did? Do you keep telling your kids you can’t afford it? Now I don’t say that you should never compare prices. Sometimes, if finances are still a concern, you have to be balanced in your behaviour. Blowing cash irresponsibly is foolish. But driving to a store to get a couple of bucks off something is kind of crazy when you could have bought the item next door, without spending money on gas for the car!

Many people lives their life looking at the right hand side of the menu in the restaurant before they order. Don’t let the price tag dictate what you do. Just look to see what the thinking is behind your actions. It may be sending a message to the universe that is not what you really want.
