Have I gone crazy? Maybe!! But I will tell you why I think you need to become a farmer in your Network Marketing Opportunity. When I heard someone talking about famers planting their seeds and the plants taking months to grow, it made me realise how similar that is to Network Marketing. Because, just like Farmers plant seeds in the fields, we drop out little nuggets of information (or seeds) to people. And just like the famer’s seed, the seeds we have planted will develop roots and begin to grow.

So many people are suffering with money worries at this time. Their minds are so full of their money problems, that they are may not have thought about ways to bring in more money. Then we come along and perhaps tell them what we are doing, or ask them to take a look and that’s it, we have planted a seed. They begin to think about the possibilities, and how much better their life would be if only they could earn a few hundred extra each month!

Jim Rohn once discussed the ’sowing and reaping’ philosophy, and how some seeds will land on stony ground. Not everybody will be open to an opportunity. Others will find it beyond their comfort level. Which is fine of course, because these are the people who, if you did manage to sign them up, would only last a few months.

And of course, some seeds will start to grow, but then get choked by weeds and die! These are the people who will join your opportunity, but then listen to their next door neighbour’s uncle’s sister, who had a ‘bad’ experience once with MLM and decide to give up!

Then there are the seeds that fall on good ground, get fed and watered and grow tall and strong. And these are the seeds that we are interested in. Because they will become the stars in your opportunity. They are the reason we go around planting seeds at all!

So remember when you talk to people, you are planting ’seeds’! Of course, often when you do the planting, the timing is wrong for the person you are talking to and they are not looking for anything. What if, 4 months down the road, they were made redundant, lost their job, or got sick? Maybe at that time, that little seed that you planted in their mind would begin to take root and grow!

Planting has always fascinated me. To think that you could take a tiny dried up seed and have it grow into a green, healthy plant is pretty incredible when you think about it. How good would it feel to plant a seed in someones head and have them grow a large healthy business! Now imagine a whole field full of plants, growing strong and healthy!

Keep on planting those seeds!!:)
