“While we try to teach our children all about life,
our children teach us what life is all about.”
- Angela Schwindt
It happens every holiday season. Parents spend days shopping for the perfect gift for their child. With care, the present is beautifully wrapped and waiting under the tree for that magical Christmas morning.
As the moment arrives, the exuberant child tears into the package and squeals with delight as the parents smile with satisfaction.
Within minutes, however, the parental self-congratulations are replaced with shock and dismay as the child pushes the expensive toy aside and begins to PLAY WITH THE BOX!
Like most adults, perhaps parents have forgotten to see the world through the eyes of a child. You see, any toy, no matter how pricey, novel, or complex, has limitations. There is a right way to play with the toy. It’s designed with a specified and predetermined purpose.
The box is limitless. It represents infinite possibilities ever-changing in the child’s imagination. It has the capacity to shift from camping tent, to space ship, to under-water restaurant in a matter of minutes…pretty cool toy!
Deciding to start your own direct sales business is a lot like tossing aside the expected toy and playing with the box. You are no longer bound by the expectations and limitations of working for someone else. Your business can be whatever you want it to be. You can shift from hobby, to supplemental income, to lifestyle by unleashing your own vision, energy, and expectations.
On the afternoon of December 25th, I encourage you to join your child on the floor and cultivate the spirit vision and believing there is always more to experience. Set the toys aside, and set your imagination free. Dream a bigger dream than the night before.
Play with the box and build an empire!
