Be Humble and Have a Good Learning Attitude

“Pride is tasteless, it’s colorless, shapeless, but to some, it may be the hardest thing to swallow” – AIM VP for Business Development, Jurgen Gonzales

There was once a man named Pedro who is into cockfighting (sabungero to Pinoys). After a string of defeat and huge loss in money, he is now down to his last fighting cock. He became so desperate in winning; otherwise he would lose everything he had. One day he heard about this old man who is considered as one of the best cock trainer in his land, it was believed that every fighting cocks he trained became sure winners.

So Pedro brought his last fighting cock to the old man and he said, “Old man, can you please help me in training my cock, this is my last cock and I want it to be the best cock-fighter in our land?”

The old man says, “Okay, leave your cock to me and come back after one week.”

So after a week Pedro came back for his cock, He says, “Is my cock ready to fight?” The old man said, “No, this cock is a coward, he seems to be afraid of fighting. He thinks he is just a little bird, not a fighting cock, come back next week, I’m sure he will be ready.”

The next week, Pedro came back again and he said, “Is my cock ready to fight?” To which the old man replied, “No, this cock has lost his fears, but he still doubts a lot of things, he doubts his ability to fight bigger opponents, he doubts his strength, come back to me next week, I’m sure he will be ready.”

So once again, Pedro came back the third week and again he asked, “Is my cock ready to fight?” The old man answered with a big NO. “This cock lost his fears and doubts, but my goodness he began to be too proud of himself. He thinks he can beat everybody, he sometimes bites me when I’m about to train him. His arrogance can be a big source of failure and defeat. You need to come back to me by next week, I’m sure he will be ready.”

Pedro left frustrated, it has been three weeks and his fighting cock is still not ready, but he had no other choice. He needs his cock to be fully trained; he could not risk another defeat. So by the fourth week, Pedro came back and asked the old man, “Is my cock ready to fight?” The old man excitedly said, “He lost his fear and doubt, he gave up his pride, he knows when to attack and when not to, plus he has all the muscle and strength needed to win. Yes he is now ready to fight.” The cock then became the undefeated and best prize cock-fighter in his town.

There are four stages that people goes through upon joining AIM Global.

Ground Zero

The first stage is Ground Zero, where you are totally oblivious or at lost in this type of business. You simply have no Idea on how to get started. You are in a foreign territory; your body cycle gets disrupted. You were used to just get up in the morning, go to work, go home and watch your favorite soap opera, now you have a part time business to attend to. And when you are in an unfamiliar territory, the emotion of FEAR breeds in. What if this isn’t true? The problem with FEAR is that it sometimes paralyzes you to the point that you don’t take action.

The good news is we have free training courses for beginners. We suggest all first timers after attending our OPP (Opportunity Plan Presentation), within 48 hours to attend our NDO (New Distributor Orientation) so that they will be guided and have a deeper understanding of what the business is all about.

Overcoming DOUBTS

The second stage of new distributors is overcoming your DOUBTS. Some distributors claimed that they have overcome their fear, they now truly believe Network Marketing is their way to financial freedom, but the point from believing to actually doing is where most people gets stuck. They get stuck from approaching their very first prospect to share the business, because they have doubts that the other person will not be interested or they might just laugh at you.

We have two words of advice for you: Don’t Judge.

One famous Filipina Actress said, “Don’t judge my brother, he is not a book.” (LOL)

Remember, you are not a psychic that has the ability to know what the other person is thinking; you are just simply sharing this great business opportunity. So what if they laugh at you? When build your dream home, buy your car and help a lot of people succeed, you will have the last laugh. Believe us on that.

PRIDE – a dish-washing detergent

On the third stage, distributors have already lost their fears, have overcome their doubts and begin to do the business, they start to get results. Some may begin to earn big and perhaps buy their first brand new car.

When you begin to get results, this is the time where the small person inside you called the ego grows also. And if this is not checked early, it could lead to trouble.

You begin to be too proud, boastful of your result. You start cutting corners, play games. You don’t listen to your Uplines anymore. In short you now try to reinvent the wheel and create your own system.

Our dear friends, if you start to change your attitude, we guarantee you, this is also the start of your downfall.

You have seen them all, politicians, actors, professional athletes who became so arrogant and lost its eagerness to learn, thinking that they know it all, begin to tumble down from their careers.

That is all because of one thing, they have changed their attitude.

Always be humble

The fastest way to succeed in Network Marketing business is to be humble in learning. When you are humble, you leave room for progress. You are open to advice from the experts in the industry.

If you are a professional doctor, and we are in need of medical attention, we look to you for your expert advice and opinion.

If you are a lawyer and we need legal advice, we come to you for help.

If you are a plumber and we have a leaky faucet, we come to you for expertise.

But when it comes to Network Marketing, if you want the fastest way to your goals and dreams, we suggest you come with an open mind and heart to listen to our expert opinion.

That is just how simple it is. Network Marketing is an equal playground for everybody. You don’t need a college degree; you don’t need to be fluent in English or any language to succeed. That is why we have elementary graduate, high school dropouts and people who came from very humble beginnings becoming millionaires left and right because of the equality of our system.

Everybody starts from scratch. Everybody starts from zero. Nobody starts as Global Ambassador right away. You need to become a Distributor first and you work your way up.

So be humble always, and again have a good learning attitude and we will see you at the TOP!
