Network Marketing Journey

G.I. Joe. Star Wars. Star Trek. Comics.

All of these things are a part of my younger years and while cleaning the house I had an episode of Star Trek Voyager on in the background.

The episode I’m watching pertains to the members of the crew looking back at the history of the federation and what got them started down the path of space travel. All of this was started when they came across an anomaly which became the home of a capsule long lost in the past.

Wending their way from societies history to their own personal history, Chakotay and Seven got into a discussion about what they wanted to be with they were little. Chakotay wanted to be a paleontologist but became a First Officer onboard the ship.

He then asked Seven what she wanted to be when she was young. With some prodding Seven confided that she wanted to be a ballerina.

“Well, there is still time,” was Chakotay’s response.

“Its just a childhood fantasy.”

He then smiles. “Those are the ones that stick with you.”

Chakotay is quite right. They do stick with us and unfortunately we tend to ignore them for the vary reason Seven stated. We think them childish simply because of something we saw with such clarity when we were little.

Those images or dreams stay with us because they are among the things we truly desire most. Dreams surface early in life when we are inexperienced, eager and full of life. As we grow older and gain experience we develop filters which destroy our ability to go after those dreams.

I didn’t grow up wanting to build a business or to be a Network Marketer but they are a path I have chosen to reach for my dreams.

What do I dream of being/doing?

Lots of things.

But of all things I want to write books and speak at seminars designed to show people the importants of standing up for themselves–standing up to be counted.

What are your dreams? Share them below if you feel so inclined. I’d love to hear from you.
