A Man and His Tools

I just bought a new piece of property today on the Cowlitz River…one of the best steelheading and salmon fishing rivers in the state.

So…I had to go out and buy myself a chainsaw and a gas weed whacker to get some trees out of my way and make room for my “trailer home.” I never thought I’d have a trailer, but since that’s all I can put on this property, it’ll have to do. This is what you call 5 Star camping.

While I was playing with my new tool (the chainsaw), I got to thinking…the only way for me to cut down my trees is to:

1. Have the right tool, and…
2. Make sure I keep it sharp.

The same thing goes for us in network marketing. You’ve got to use the tools that are available to you. They are there for a reason. So…if your company or upline leadership is providing you useful tools, USE THEM.

And secondly, be sure to keep on sharpening your skills. You can’t cut through a tree with a dull saw. And…you certainly can’t expect to master the game of network marketing if you don’t constantly refine your skills…aka “sharpening your saw.”
