Funny thing about cliches: they're not really cliches at
all when they're true. Most rhetoric that survives the test
of time actually earns "cliche" status by virtue of its
inherent wisdom.
There is no greater example of this than the old saying,
"you reap what you sow," or even, "you get what you give."
And for those who desire work from home business success,
what some might consider a well-worn cliche is actually an
infallible key to success and happiness.
The reason this particular gem of truth transcends cliche
is that it is based on nothing short of universal law. All
of life is based on this law: there is a time of seeding,
and a time of harvest. Without seeding there can be no
life, no fruit, and no harvest.
This is just as true in business as it is in nature:
without investment there is no return - even a lottery
winner must by a ticket first.
This law is so basic that we easily take it for granted,
and when we do it is to our detriment. Because if you
harness the power of this universal law, both in your
personal life and in your business, good things invariably
happen. And if you don't - well, here's another time-tested
cliche: "don't mess with Mother Nature." Because when you
break this particular law, the consequences are just as
inevitable, and you don't want to go there.
One has only to look at the world around them to see this
law in full glory. Successful, happy people are rarely the
product of negative thinking; they didn't get there by
abusing others and cutting corners. Happy, seed-sowing
adults have happy, generally-successful children;
unfortunately, the reverse is just as true.
Well-seeded businesses thrive, poorly-planned and
under-funded enterprises don't. Where this breaks down is
when we sow the wrong seeds without realizing the potential
consequences.
Parents who model the wrong behavior - dishonesty,
excessive drinking, laziness, a general attitude of
disrespect and cynicism - should not be surprised when
their children turn out the same way.
Entrepreneurs who don't put in the time, even those who
work hard but not smart, should not be surprised when their
results fall short of their goals. All of this is simply
the manifestation of a universal law: you really do reap
what you sow.
The first wake-call here is to evaluate the seeds you have
been sowing so far, not just in business, but as a person,
a parent, and a citizen of the planet. Are you in alignment
with the natural law of consequences, or are the seeds you
are sowing not in alignment with what you hope will be your
harvest?
And what, precisely, are those seeds? Well, they are our
words, our actions, our values, our integrity, our talents
and our gifts. They include kindness, forgiveness,
gentleness, initiative, courage, attentiveness. When we sow
the wrong seeds, or simply fail to sow enough of the best
seeds we have in us, we are setting the wheels of the
universal machine into motion, and what we will reap, the
outcome of our planting, is irretrievably inevitable.
From this realization - we really do have the power to
shape the future by the seeds we plant - comes empowerment.
As a work from home business entrepreneur looking to build
a successful downline, your call to action involves more
than good products and training; the seeds of work from
home business success involve so much more than those
basics.
Work from home business success requires the best you have
to offer, the mentoring and emotional support that begets
greatness in others, the sense of teamwork and motivation
that propels others toward high achievement.
Take a look at the seeds you are planting, both in your
personal life and in your business, and make whatever
shifts are necessary to ensure that what you are planting
will result in the harvest you desire.
Your talent, your gifts, delivered with caring, patience,
kindness, hope and diligence, are the seeds of a bumper
crop of success and happiness for everyone in your life.
Begin planting those seeds today, water them with love, and
soon you will behold the spectacular fruits of your efforts.
