You would be hard pressed to find someone involved in internet marketing who has never heard of Mike Dillard. He is the creator of Magnetic Sponsoring, MLM Traffic Formula, Black Belt Recruiting and other programs. These are all top training tools that teach people to be highly succcessful at network marketing. So it's no wonder that many people wished they were Mike Dillard.
If you are not in the network marketing business, then go ahead and replace Mike's name with a top business person that you admire in the same field you are in. I am sure that we would end up with a long list of very successful people in numerous different lines of business.
Let's assume just for now though, that it is Mike Dillard that we all want to be. Now ask yourself the question -- why do I want to be him? What is there about him that would make me want to give up my own identity? Well, the first thing that comes to my mind is that he is super successful at what he does and he is well respected and a very likeable person. He also has a huge following.
So let's just imagine something right now. Can you picture it if we were all clones of Mike Dillard? I mean no disrespect to Mike, but what a boring world that would be. Each of us has been created as a unique human being. There are actually no two alike in all respects, not even identical twins. We thrive on variety. Can you imagine if you were given your favorite food for each and every meal of the day. I can bet that you would soon get pretty sick of it.
Really, on closer examination, it's not Mike Dillard that we want to be. We actually love being ourselves. What we do want, is to have what Mike has and not to be him personally.
The best part is that we can continue to be ourselves and still have what Mike has. How is this possible? It's possible because the people that we admire are usually more than willing to share their experiences and knowledge with the rest of the World. Sometimes there may be a cost to acquiring this knowledge but quite often they give a lot of information away free of charge. They enjoy giving back to society. Just do a little research and you will find a wealth of information about these people. Study them and find out what they did to reach their goals.
They can't do it for you, but they can show you the way!
It has been said that there are numerous people out there just waiting to meet us. We all know that we are attracted to certain people and not to others. That is because we are not all on the same 'wavelength', and that's a good thing. We are going to be the person that some individual really relates to. Just imagine you and Mike standing side by side and the person chooses you over Mike.
So let's not waste our time wishing we were someone else. Let's learn from as many people as we can and develop our own identity and uniqueness and we will draw people to us, because we will strike a chord with them.
I am a firm believer in the Law of Abundance, which states that there is more than enough to go around for everyone, so go ahead, be yourself and step right up and claim your 'piece of the pie'.
