I want to tell you a Story! - Jim Rohn

Many of you would have heard about the PARABLE OF THE SOWER ...

"Behold a sower went out to sow; and as he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate them up. And others fell upon the rocky places, where they did not have much soil; and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of soil. But when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. And others fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them out. And others fell on the good soil, and yielded a crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty.

And some of you had heard how Jim Rohn use this parable in teaching network marketing. My thoughts on how this can apply to my pursuit of Internet Marketing Biz are as follows :

> The seed is our Opportunity in Internet Marketing Biz.

> We are the sowers

> You can be an ambitious sower with excellent seed . Once you start sowing the birds will get some of the seed.

The birds are people telling iMers not to waste time in this biz, and join them in something else. You have two options: 1. Chase the birds which in turn will take you from the field and distract from your future not adding to it.

2. Keep on sowing because there is not enough birds and in the end the law of average will work for you.

> Next the seed fall on rocky ground with shallow soil. The plant will grow but on the first hot day it whiter and dies. People try IM for a short while but gave up after a few months. The hot weather is going to get some so don’t wonder why some

don’t stay. Just accept it as you can’t change it. Keep on sowing – you have to discipline your disappointment.

> The next seed fall on thorny ground. The plant grows but the thorns choke it to death. Thorns are distractions. People let little things cheat them out of big opportunities – you can do nothing for them. Just keep on sowing, share and invite.

> Then the seed fall on good ground. It always will if you keep on sowing long enough. The same good ground will bring up 30%, 60% and 100%. Why the difference? Don’t ask just accept it. Don’t try and change people from 30% to 60%. Let them rather give their best 30%.

So where are you in this parable ? The message is simple : In sowing, you are working. KEEP ON TAKING MASSIVE ACTIONS from what you learned, and Persevere. Nurture your Biz, and in time to come it will harvest. Whether it's 30/60/100% will depend on how hard you want to put in.
