Mike Dillard is Already Taken!
Many of you might be asking the question “who is Mike Dillard?”. Everyone that is part of the internet marketing scene will know who he is. For those of you that don’t, he is the creator of Magnetic Sponsoring and many other highly successful marketing programs. Just about everyone in network marketing uses the principles taught by Mike Dillard, if they are serious about succeeding in their business.
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.
However, for the sake of this exercise, let’s just assume that we all want to be Mike Dillard. The first question that comes to mind, is why would we want be be someone other than the person we are? What is there about this person, that would make us willing to give up our own identity, so that we could be him? The obvious answer is that he is at the top of his game, highly successful, well respected, liked by everyone and to cap it off, he is making a bundle of money.
But let’s just imagine for a moment if we were all clones of Mike Dillard. No disrespect to Mike, but what an absolutely boring world that would be. We as humans thrive on variety in all aspects of our lives. Our favorite food might be lobster, but don’t you think that you would get pretty sick of it, if that was the only food for you to eat.
When we examine our motives closely, we will find that it’s not Mike Dillard that we want to be. We are actually happy being ourselves. No, we don’t want to be Mike, but we do want what he has. That’s quite a different story.
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.
No, they can’t do it for us, but they can certainly show us the way!
Do you find that you are attracted to certain people and not to others. That’s because we are not all on the same ‘wavelength’, and that’s a good thing. It has been said that there are numerous people out there just waiting to meet us. We are going to be the person that they relate to. Just imagine, if you and Mike were standing side by side and they had to choose, they would pick you!!
So let’s not waste our time dreaming about being someone other than the person we are. Let’s continue to develop our own unique identity and similar people will be drawn to us, because we will strike a chord with them. That doesn’t mean that we can’t learn everything we possibly can from people that have reached the level of success that we are striving for. Learn their methods and integrate them into your life and business.
There is absolutely enough of everything to go around in this world. There is no scarcity. Go ahead, stake our your territory and claim your well deserved ‘piece of the pie’.
