Namaste,
Hope you're having a great holiday. I wanted to write our team and share some thoughts. I stole 90% of it from Abraham Hicks and hoped it would be easier to understand.
My intention is that you take the time to read it.
My intention is that you share your thoughts on it here in the forum.
My Intention is that you join me in creating more of what you want!
To Infinity & Beyond!

Do you want a GIANT Success Line? (downlne)
What comes to mind when I ask you if you'd like to have a giant downline in your Nework Marketing Company?Let me propose that you don’t just want a downline or group with thousands of people in it.
Think about it, would you want a group with thousands of people calling you and complaining every day? I hope your answer is no!
What you want is a group of people passionate about our company and our mission of changing people's lives. It only takes three or four people like this to get rich in Network Marketing.
When those people find three or four people they will not have to work ever again. You might say, “Chris, come on, retire on three to four people?” The answer is yes!
If you could spend 100% of your time focusing on the people that are actually following our action steps and none of your time focusing on the people that are not you will attract more people like the ones you are focusing on.
So ask yourself this, when you focus on the people not quite getting it or those that have given up on their dreams how do you feel? Not good if you’re like me.
I care about people and I don’t feel good when I’m speaking to someone that “doesn't get it”.
Think about this when you're doing your business. "Whatever you're giving your attention to is what you’re attracting more of”.
I sometimes talk to people that tell me they're not having success because “others are not doing their part?"
Many times it's because they find people that don’t want to work because the very reason they joined TBC was to “not work”.
Can you agree that if you go out and gather people that don’t want to work that you might just end up with a group of people that don’t want to work?
From this place of not wanting to work so hard, you’re attracting people that don’t want to work so hard.
And here is the golden nugget of this whole article. Don't think of yourself as waking up every day and wanting to not work! The fact is if you didn't go to work tomorrow you'd fill your day with something else! You'd be golfing. You'd be shopping. You'd be getting together with friends.
So it's not that you don't want to do something; it's that you want more choice about what you do with your life.
Don’t think about your Balance business as one that will provide you a life luxury even if you do nothing.
What you should be telling yourself is, "I'm creating a business where I get to choose every part of my involvement. And, as I choose to be involved more a nd more the money will flow to me more and more abundantly."
Can you feel the difference in that?
Many people have issues around money. Many think there's never something for nothing. So if you're talking about your Balance business as way for people do very little bit but eventually get a lot of money for having done very little there's a disconnect. It doesn't ring true and they won't believe it.
In other words, in some people, there's a part that says, "Even if it's possible, it's not right.”
What they don't understand is what comes to you doesn't have to be justified, excused or explained.
Too many people work too hard to justify the money that comes to them. If people would just chill out, the money would come much more easily.
Some people are convinced there has to be strain and struggle
for there to be any payoff.
First you need to make sure you're a vibrational match to what you're wanting.
Give up this feeling that have to justify what comes to you, and say, "I get it because I’m in the flow."
And when you’re showing the Bodhi presentation to others say, "We're a small group now but we are making a real difference in peoples lives. We're gettting together with friends, having fun and creating more of what we want together".
It’s really that simple. Get clear about what you’re wanting to create. All of us, including me, haven't created what we want yet so we're sharing what were going to create. The lives we're going to charge"
Talk about what is becoming, not what is. What happens to most people is they think they have to prove things to others by trying to prove it’s already providing all the free time they want or all the money they want when in fact it is not.
And since it hasn't they're sending out missed signals.
And, more importantly, what would that profit do for you?
How would thatextra money make you feel?
Ask yourself, "If I had an extra ten thousand dollars this month, what would I do with it? Think about what you would pay off and what trips you might take. Would you lease a new car? The point is to get clear about what you're really doing here. You're creating THAT life for you and the people you love.
Get in the flow! Talk to others about what The Balance Company is going to mean in your liife. Tell them where you're going!
Blast open some doors! Help others blast open some doors and the abundance will come, sometimes through your business. Sometimes not.
Yes, it's true, you might talk to someone you think is totally dropped in, tuned in and turned on and then they go off and do something entirely different! Some of their heartfelt dreams might come true in much different ways than we ever imagined.
They might become abundant in ways other than The Balance Company and that's alright because that is what we're all about! What they do does not affect you. Only how you feel about what they do affects you, you see.
Don't promte our business by belittling other ways of making a living.
When we say, "That stupid job? You're working too hard? We're going to get rid of that job and we're going to get you to BE 10".
When you say those things you're creating negative energy and causing them to close their mind and their heart to being in the flow. You're closing their valve instead of opening it.
What we should be saying is, "Hey, we're doing alright! In fact, we're doing great! We've managed to attract a great business and supportive friends to us. We've opened new avenues to let abundance flow by coming together and without having to give up the other things we're doing. We can keep doing what we're doing, while we expand our business. And, in the future, we may choose not to do the job we're doing now. We'll have the option."
Go to what feels best. Keep your valve open. Above all else make sure you feel good!
If you can keep your valve open, while you're worrying about what somebody else is doing or not doing, you're a miracle. You can’t do both.
If you you’re staying positive while you're talking about getting rid of a job you hate you're an anomaly. Nobody can do that!
You may have heard it said, "It's not the words you speak. It's the music you're playing." When you're tuned in, tapped in, turned on, when you're feeling great, people gravitate to you.
That's why for many people find their business grows faster in the beginning before they know so much. It's not the words they're saying, it's the music poeple are hearing as they see them speak about something that makes them so happy.
When they twere new and thinking everyone they knew would join you and go nuts they felt great. Their valve was open. But they started noticing that not all of the people that joined actually did the things they said they would and they start concentrating on them and when they started focusing them and their negative vibration and their music stopped.
You see what I’m getting at? Lighten up and have fun!
As a professional Network Marketer you're making a real difference in the world! Know it! Feel it! Allow it to happen!
Hope you're having a great holiday with poeple you love!
YOU ROCK!
Next Network Marketing Class
In other words, some people pretend it's bigger than it is. They say things they don’t really feel, so what they're saying doesn't ring true.
What you should be saying is, "This is going to work for all of us. It's small now, but imagine where it can lead! The business model is solid, the product is making a difference in people’s lives and I feel more and more benefit from it the more I participate in it."
What would it be like if you had just a few people actively involved just like you? Run the numbers on that and see what that would be. What kind of numbers would that add up to and what kind of profit would you have this month?
Chris,
That was an awesome article. I loved the part about the Bodhi group and where we are going. I have printed this out to read and re-read. Thanks!
Ellen
I have read this article before from you Chris and thought it was sage advice. As a Chiropractor when a patient comes in to see me and I have done all of my history taking, etc. I then plan out a course of action for my patient and let them know that I can help them but we must work as a team. That I cannot do all of the work because if I'm doing it all and they are doing nothing and it fails then they can come back on me and say, " See Chiropractic Doesn't Work!" When in fact it's a tried and true art and does work if everyone is doing what they are supposed to do. So, I draw up a contract and give them the option of signing on or not as a team, if they choose not to then I refer them to someone else who doesn't mind " taking it all on". So what I'm saying is I'm willing to do 150% of what I'm capable of in whattever I commit to as long as my team is also willing. And I can be a teacher or a student, because it takes both for growth. I believe that turning the boat around, throwing the oars away and going downstream is what the Balance Company is all about and I'M IN! When the student is ready, the teacher will appear!
So well said . . . . I can never be reminded enough of the only way to live. Thanks for such a well done encouragement. I, too printed it off and have read it over, and will continue to read it over again.
Such good words to live by!

Chris - This is an inspired piece of writing. We all need to focus on "what's possible" instead of "what can't be done". With consistent action, before we know it we arrive at success. Best -- Jon Slavet
I don't care WHO you stole it from!!! You certainly put your own spin on it, Chris-La!
Thanks so much for this, for your words and encouragement.
Lately, more and more, I find myself asking, "Is this the energy I want in my life?"
I've been finding that 'the negative folks' are becoming easier to identify and walk away from - always planting the seed that they succeed and come to positive fruition in their own time.
Even though I haven't met with a Bodhi Group in real time, I can feel the energy around me and, when I find it difficult to take another step, I go to one of the websites and remind myself, "You are a part of this group."
I do the same thing re: my sanghas - I remind myself that I am a part of infectiously positive groups of people, all intent on creating abundance and prosperity for themselves and others.
I am currently reading the Dalai Lama's book, Ethics for the New Millenium, and was struck by these words -
"Prosperity too - not so much in the sense of having an abundance of material wealth but more in the sense of flourishing mentally and emotionally - makes a significant contribution to our sense of inner peace."
I believe deeply that prosperity is something within us that flows, like a waterfall, into all we do. It is that we block the flow - not that there is a place to go 'get' it. There's no two-for-one sale at the Universe Store!
Breathe - Flow - Envision - and then move like water to the goals!

Thanks so much for all the kind words and I am honored when I see the people posting here.
I see many top leaders posting here and a new name!
Jon Slavet, CEO of The Balance Company, thanks so much for coming by and reading what the company you founded means to us!
Are we at a great company or what!
I'm going to spend the next few minutes reading each and everyone of the posts here.
Naming our group after the Bodhi Tree was spot on!
Namaste!
Chris

Bodhi Tree
The Bodhi tree is known in some cultures to be a symbolic representation of the individual's journey.
The seed starts out tiny and then grows to be open and free. They say this is how a person should keep their mind and heart.
The tree is rooted in the ground, but grows beyond the ground as it experiences the environment, learns to care about it, and ultimately leaves it's limitations behind and reaches out towards the sky.
Hi Everyone!
I'm creating a business where I get to choose every part of my involvement. And, as I choose to be involved more and more ... the money will flow more and more abundantly. This is the key. It has been said that what you get what you think about, what you put your attention on gets bigger/manifests. So, it makes me feel much more at ease about my business and the results I have manifested so far by acknowledging my role in it. I am grateful to have this to reference, Chris, along with all the other training you have been doing.
I find that the universe continually supports me in what is in my absolute best interest. At times it is hard for me to connect with people, missed calls, missed appointments, sundry roadblocks ... and then when the time is right, it all seamlessly fits together. What I mean by 'when the time is right' is that when my mindset is where it needs to be to allow for what is in my best interest to manifest, it flows ... everything starts to happen.
Thank you for this! Meghna :)
Hi Terek,
I really like the idea of the contract that you sign with your future clients. Would you be willing to post that contract here or email it to me? I'm curious to see what you have put on there. Thanks! Meghna :)
That would be great is you could post it here :)
Hi Chris,
Overall, I thought this article was well presented and very informative. I am not a partaker in Abraham Hicks as I am a believer and disciple of the Christ, Jesus. I do believe that we can attract good or ill to us. How we approach our lives has a direct effect on others. If we are negative it will be transmitted to that other person and they will react to that. If we are positive and act in a way to meet their needs... Well, I was taught that you catch more flys with honey than you do with vinegar.
I also believe that we do have a certain obligation to people when we present the Balance business to them and ask them to awaken their dreams. Dreams never die, they are just waiting for us to take action on them. If a person sees something in the Balance Company business model then we do have the obligation, to a point, to fan the flames of their dream so it takes hold.
Let me tell you a story. I was privileged and quite honored when I was asked to address a Master's Degree class regarding Special Education Parent Advisory Councils (PACS). Here I was, a person that barely made it out of High School, and was asked to address teachers seeking a Master's in Education. One of the students posed a question. "Are you telling me that I should sacrifice an academically talented student just so I can spend time with a person that isn't getting it?" I was caught off guard so I paused, took a deep breath and thought. My reply was "I understand your question and I have to object to the use of the word sacrifice because you can take an academically talented student and put them on task. Academically talented students are usually self-motivated, correct? After you put them on task that should free you up to spend more time with the student that isn't getting it, all the while checking in occasionally with the talented student to ensure they are still on task, correct? Your job is "Teacher" and you have an obligation to all the students. If you are hesitant about that obligation or can't see that a student that shows up and isn't getting it deserves your attention, then maybe teaching isn't what you truly are meant to do."
Now, if a person doesn't show up to class and shows no interest that's a different story because we all are born with free will and we make our choices. I believe we must fan the flames of a persons dream because it will have been us that awakened that dream . What they choose afterwards is up to them but we do have an obligation.
Chris I did enjoy this article you wrote and I absorbed it. Of course I will reread it several times. Thank you for your efforts and energy
