Meetings Mean Money

I absolutely love Rabbi Lapin's book Thou Shall Prosper. On Friday during our conference call I again mentioned that Meetings Mean Money. I am not eloquent but the good Rabbi is so I will quote him.

"...the more opportunities people have to interact and to convey information to one another, the more wealth is created for every participant." (p. 69)

Tom Barrett in his book, Dare to Dream and Work to Win, says that direct sales is not a selling business but a teaching business. It is not a product distribution business but an information distribution business.

Looking at it that way--each time people come together to convey information to one another--each participant is poised to create more wealth.

Bring people together in your direct sales business and "more wealth is created for every participant."

Wealth--"an abundance of valuable possessions or money. The state of being rich; material prosperity."

Wow! Every time you have lunch with a couple consultants and prospects, every hostess party, business opportunity meeting, convention, or spa day is an opportunity for "every participant" to create more wealth!

Sounds to me like it is selfish to stay home by myself when I could be out helping every participant create more wealth! I'll get my coat and join you at Starbucks! The latte is on me.

I love the idea of how prosperity involves more than just money or monetary gain. When I think of it that way I feel very prosperous. I may not have an income right now, but everyday I'm prospering in other areas of my life.
