Sharpen your AX?

An experienced lumberjack walked past one of the new
recruits. The new recruit viciously chopped away at the large
tree but only managed to bruise the bark. Seeing the hard work
and wasted effort, the experienced lumberjack said, “Hey, why
don’t you sharpen your ax? It will make you much more
efficient.”

The new recruit answered, “No. I can’t take the time to
sharpen my ax. I’m busy trying to cut down this tree.”
Many new MLM distributors suffer from the “dull ax”
syndrome. They set goals, work hard, but never reach the
success they desire. Why? Because they never took the time to
sharpen their “ax” by learning new, effective skills. These
distributors waste effort, waste resources, and waste their
careers. If only they would take a little time away from their
frenzied futility to learn the skills that would serve them for a
lifetime.

"You need training even
if you get a job at McDonald’s flipping hamburgers. So why not
expect to invest some time and effort in learning new skills for a
career in multilevel marketing?”
