Have I gone crazy? Maybe!! But I will tell you why I think you need to become a farmer in your Network Marketing Opportunity. I heard someone say something the other day about planting seeds and getting the results six months down the line and it made me think that those of us in a Network Marketer Opportunity have alot in common with Farmers!! Because, just like Farmers plant seeds in the fields, we drop out little nuggets of information (or seeds) to people. Then because we have put a thought into their head, it slowly begins to take root, blossom and grow, just like the Farmer’s seed!!
So many people are suffering with money worries at this time. They are rushing around, so busy worrying about their dire money situation that they have probably not even given a thought to finding a second income stream. 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!
But just as Jim Rohn said on his Building Your Network Marketing Business CD; ‘some seeds will fall on stony ground’. Because some people just do not have an open mind with which to view our opportunity. And some people would find Network Marketing beyond their comfort zone and be unwilling to step up to the mark. 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!
But of course some seeds will fall on good soil, and be nourished and grow strong and healthy! And these are the seeds that we are interested in. Because they will become the stars in your business. They are the reason we go around planting seeds at all!
So remember when you talk to people, you are planting ‘seeds’! Because just imagine if you spoke to someone about your opportunity and they said they were not interested because they were happy in their job, or because they did not have any money worries. 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. So imagine planting a tiny thought into someone’s head, and it blossoming and growing into a strong, thriving business! Now imagine a whole field full of plants, growing strong and healthy!
Let’s keep on planting those seeds!! 
Sue, such a strong presentation . Very Scriptural also. We will receive a harvest of what we sow. Again, your right on point with this post.
Thanks Nelson!

This is so true Sue. I have Jim Rohn's Reap What You Sow story printed out and I keep it with things that I like to read often. I loved your interpretation and it inspires us to get out there and plant those seeds!!
Thanks,
Wendy Hewlett
Sue,
This is such a great post and so true. So many Network Marketers give up because a few folks say no to their opportunity. Some folks give up just as they are about to turn a corner, Network marketing is not a sprint. It's a marathon and those that perservere…will definitely win.
