If you ARE trying to be a professional network marketer, then pull your chair in close and listen up!
The Phrase JOB Stands for Just Over Broke Needs to Disappear!
JOB is a derogatory term that has been around in network marketing for a long time. JOB is an acronym for Just Over Broke. It is meant to describe those who are employed by an employer, and the insinuation is that someone who has a job will never make any money. It is used to ridicule those who aren't involved with network marketing.
If someone doesn't see the vision of network marketing as we see it, we too often use the term JOB to put them down. Perhaps it is to make us feel better about ourselves and the vocation we have chosen.
If you are using that term JOB stands for Just Over Broke in your conversations with other network marketers or in your presentations to prospective team members, STOP IT!
It doesn't serve us or the profession of network marketing to use the term JOB. The goal in network marketing is to build relationships. We want to build relationships, not ditches.
The opposite of building bridges or relationships is building ditches or walls. We don't want to do anything that destroys those relationships.
We want to present ourselves as being professional. We don't present ourselves as being professional when we mock people or make fun of them when they don't agree with our opinion.
The reality is that we need people in our world to have jobs. We need people who are employed to work in our stores, to provide our yard services, to fix our cars, and to provide numerous services for us.
It is true that I try to help people see that there are other options for them in addition to the tradional job. Sometimes people see regular employment as their only option, and I want them to see that there are alternatives to being employed by an employer.
But the ONE thing that we don't want to do is to give them the idea that if they don't persue network marketing, then they are losers. We also need to get rid of that term "losers" in network marketing. There are no "losers."
People who have jobs are providing for their families. They are providing needed services that benefit us all. They are providing services to us, and we should not be putting them down because they don't have the vision of network marketing.
Network marketing is an option for people, but it is not THE ONLY option available. Network marketers do not need to feel superior to others just because they have found that network marketing is the best option for them.
So, if you are using the phrase JOB Stands For Just Over Broke, please don't do it any more! Let's raise the profession of network marketing to a professional level. We want to be PROFESSIONAL network marketers. We want to be relationship builders, not relationship destroyers.
We do that by respecting the decisions and careers of the people around us and not by criticizing the decisions and opinions of others.
