The Goose That Laid The Golden Egg
Posted by: Bob Firestone under Business Development
Do you remember the story about the goose that laid golden eggs?
A farmer finds that one of his geese had laid an egg of solid gold. From that day on every morning he would go out to the goose and find another gold egg waiting for him. This continues making the farmer more and more wealthy. But after a while the farmer becomes impatient wanting more eggs faster. To speed up the goose he starts trying all sorts of things but none of them work. Out of frustration he rationalizes that the gold eggs must be inside of the goose already so he cuts the bird open. Finding no eggs he then realizes what he has done. In his greed, he killed the goose that laid the golden egg.
Network marketing allows anyone who does the work have a goose that lays golden eggs.
Like the goose you need to tend to your business on a daily basis, nurturing it, feeding it, working to make sure it is healthy and having what it needs to produce on a daily basis. However there is one huge difference between a MLM business and the goose, you can increase the number of eggs you get by sharing the products and business with more people.
