Food For Thought......

10 LEVELS OF COMMITMENT



Recently I attended one of our team's weekly phone training sessions and was completely blessed with what I heard. Since I started my home based business almost 20 months ago, I have been searching for a way to break down the various phases of a small business owner. For me, being able to see where I am in the progression gives me power to move forward and courage to not stop.

As you read through this, identify where you are, and realize where you want to be. There is no wrong or write phase. But identifying what phase you are on my help you see what it is going to take to the phase you ultimately want to be on. I also encourage you to share this with other business partners.

10 LEVELS OF COMMITMENT

1. A Lark – got involved as a whim with no intention to work it seriously.

2. Just Dabbling – playing around with the business with no serious commitment or expectations.

3. A Hobby – a fun form of entertainment.

4. A Cute Little Business – modest commitment. Got involved for fun with the thought that this business might generate a “little extra spending money”.

5. A Small, Home Based-Business – moderate commitment with thoughts of generating a few hundred dollars per month.

6. A Business – beginning to view network marketing with a moderate seriousness realizing that it could generate a few thousand dollars a month.

7. An Opportunity – business is seeing as having potential and if taken seriously, could create serious monthly revenue and “opportunities” over time.

8. MY Business – significant increase in involvement, commitment and expectations; personal ownership has settled in.

9. MY Opportunity – strong personal realization that network marketing in an invitation to change their finances and their lives; high level of commitment and expectation.

10. MY BUSINESS, MY OPPORTUNITY, MY MOMENT, MY VEHICLE – a huge leap in insight, understanding, and conviction. This business is in their blood and they are IN this business. They are in this business for the long haul and with full commitment.

Recipe Of The Month

Chicken and Pear Stir-Fry

---Ingredients---

4 medium boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
2/3 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon grated gingerroot
1 cup peppers, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 leek, thinly sliced
1/4 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
2 pears, cored, cut into 8 slices, and halved crosswise
3 cups hot, cooked brown rice

---Directions---

Rinse chicken and pat dry. Cut into thin strips and set aside. For sauce, stir together the orange juice, soy sauce, cornstarch, and ground red pepper. Set sauce aside. Heat olive oil in a wok or large skillet and stir-fry gingerroot for 15 seconds over medium-high heat. Add pepper and leek and stir-fry until vegetables are crisp-tender. Remove the vegetables from the wok. Add the walnuts and stir-fry for 1 minute. Remove walnuts. Add the chicken to the hot wok. Stir-fry chicken until no pink remains. Push the chicken from the center of the wok. Stir sauce, add to the center of the wok. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Return the cooked vegetables to the wok. Add the pears. Stir all the ingredients together to coat with the sauce. Cook and stir about 1 minute more or until heated through. Serve immediately over brown rice. Sprinkle with the toasted walnuts. Serves 4
