Become an Information Filter and a Knowledge Sponge

On your daily journey in MLM to achieve your “Why,” you will travel through many different avenues and may sometimes ask yourself, “Why did I need to meet this person or experience this situation?” The key is to truly understand that you must become an information filter and a knowledge sponge.

To become an information filter, you must use your personal, God-given filters: your eyes and your ears. I always say that you were born with four inputs—two eyes, two ears—and one output—your mouth. When you decide to become an information filter and sift through all the information that is taken in through your inputs, you will begin to find reasons for certain experiences in your life. As you begin to realize that filtering entails listening and observing more than talking, you will be amazed at the insight you will gain! And, what you learn from each situation you experience will be the foundation for future decisions.

My personal view is that every failure is a stepping stone to success, which in turn, will become a very long and lovely stone walkway into the castle of your dreams. Very simply, this means that out of every personal failure, you will filter information that will empower you to make wiser decisions!

When you combine becoming an information filter with becoming a knowledge sponge, you will empower yourself to achieve your WHY now! Becoming a knowledge sponge is very simple. You must immerse yourself in the knowledge of the number one achievers in your field of endeavor. I highly suggest listening to and reading some positive personal development material every day in order to saturate your sponge with the proper knowledge.

When I first became a distributor in a direct sales organization, I did some research and found out what the top earners in direct sales/network marketing were doing. As a result, I broke all records and built enormous sales organizations. I was nothing special, but the methods I used were special because they were proven to work. Remember, the smartest people are those that realize they are not the brightest or the best.

Success leaves clues, and usually there is a long list of failures accompanied with one major success. I can tell you that if you have failed in the past and are questioning your actions, just become an information filter and knowledge sponge. Each day that you embark on your journey toward your “Why,” you need to be constantly filtering and absorbing as much information as possible. Start to utilize your four inputs and before you know it, you will find your “Why,” hit the mark, and succeed!
