Nouns vs Verbs - Something Joe The Plumber Should Know

At a seminar that I attended I came across this quote:

"We are for the most part nouns living in a world screaming for verbs."

I thought this statement was quite profound.As I look to most situations
in my life I see this statement as abundantly true.

It reminds me of a friend who was once a part of the main stream corporate
world as a sales rep and once he got used to that change from school to the
job world he realized that it wasn't something that he was all that excited
to be a part of. In fact, I remember that after about 6 months on the job he
got up to take a shower and all he could thank was this was the exact same
routine that he had followed to a tee every day for the last six months.

This shook him to the core when he thought about the future. Was this routine
all he had to look forward to for the rest of his life? Furthere, on his job
they were even graded on a monthly basis how well they did exactly what they
were "taught" to do - down to the very last word.(Can you say automaton?)

He thought the corporate world wanted him because he was bright, young, and
energetic, but all they wanted was another cog in the wheel - a noun.

Well, he wasn't having any of that! (And I suspect you have the same desire
or else you wouldn't be reading this email.)

My first encounter with network marketing was really not to much different
then his corporate life. I was given a task and a script to follow and I was
instructed to head out and do it to a tee. The goal was finan'cial freedom,
but in essence the work was no different than his corporate experience - this
didn't fit me.

Then came the Home Seller Assist program. I created my own plan, my own template
for what I needed, and then found the right way to put that plan into action.

In fact I don't think I followed the status quo at all or even asked my upline
one question about how I should promote my business. I simply did what I thought
was best. I took action. In fact, I was action - the verb. And it was from this
action that success began to flow. I'm not saying following the status quo is wrong.
The truth is most people out there do what they are told to do, "the job mentality",
and live a very decent life for doing it. All I'm saying is if you want to live the
life you dream of you MUST take independent action. Do it your way and don't give
up until you get there.

Now it the time to become a verb, go immediately to http://www.fastbuyerloans.com
