One day's freedom at a
time
Build it One Day's Freedom at
a Time
 13th July 2004. How many
people lose sight of their reasons for joining Telecom plus? After the
emotion has passed, how many of us never really even get going with this great
opportunity? Despite our awakening that we are 2-5 short years away from
financial and time rewards far in excess of our current situation, many of us
still find the path of least resistance an easier road to tread and continue
with our daily 9 to 5. Crazy!
In the past we might have been forgiven
for holding on to some doubts and questioning our decision to join. I for one
have been guilty of this and can remember asking myself how a mere
£199.75 investment (backed with a serious commitment) could ever compete
with a well-paid career, pension plan, company car and fringe benefits. After
all, I had status - an office with my name and posh title above the door, a PA,
regular trips abroad, expenses account etc.

However, in the hard light of day, what does any of this
count for in the face of redundancy, down-sizing, health challenges, stress, a
broken marriage and any number of other hurdles that life can throw in our way?
Whilst we cling to the relative safety of our current situation, what price are
we paying for the illusion of success on our current road? Like the majority of
the UK population, does our polished exterior, nice house, 2.3 kids, company
car etc merely offer some temporary respite against uncertain futures,
non-existent security and quiet inner desperation? There has to be a better
way!
Mine is an ironic tale. Dissatisfied with my situation, some years
ago, the decision was made to change. Handing back a fat salary, job title and
company car - I was faced with a simple decision: Telecom plus or
traditional business. Yet again, I could not believe that a 'business in a box'
could ever seriously compare with a business investment of £30,000, loss
of employee benefits and life sentence to work 100 plus hours per week. I wish
at that time I heeded the words of a nice couple called Trevor and Karen (what
did they know?!), whose frank and honest advice if taken seriously, could have
saved me four years of learning it the hard way.
 Until recently, what totally
escaped my attention was the fact that my early days in Telecom plus and
mere one-months commitment have yielded a great return. For some years, despite
zero activity, Telecom plus kindly paid me between £50 and
£150 every month for doing nothing other than the work I did years ago!
If in my previous employment I had adopted this kind of work ethic, a
P45 would have quickly followed. If as a businessman, I had dared to cut my
hours - serious consequences, and yet, despite my complacent attitude to
Telecom plus, the cheques keep coming and no 'We regret to inform you
letter' from Charles!
It was a financial colleague who suggested that a
return of 2,500% was pretty good and asked if it would be possible to invest
£199.75 as well. My perspective is that one-month invested in Telecom
plus has delivered a royalty based salary worth one day's freedom per
month. If I had listened to Trevor and Karen some 48 months ago, how many days
of my life per month would I now own?
So, if like me you sit at the
back of COPs for fear of being asked when you joined Telecom plus or
rationalise why the business has yet to work for you, perhaps its time to
forget your past failings, grab hold of this great opportunity and see how many
days of freedom in every month you can create for yourself. Its just a
decision.
Two months ago, I took a trip to London to meet with a chap
called Wes Linden. I asked him a few direct questions and was pleased by his
equally frank responses. We compared my fifteen years in a career and four
years in business with the results that he and numerous other leaders in
Telecom plus can testify to. Facts don't lie and if you were to take
stock of your current situation in a similar way, what conclusion would you
draw and what subsequent action would you take?
I now have my 2-5 year
plan back in place, with time allocated and a great deal of optimism for a
changed tomorrow. In two months, with a little work and some well placed upline
guidance, I'm back on track, have doubled the size of the team and have carved
another days freedom. How about you?
Promotion to Independent
Marketing Director
 Whilst most people wake up on
Christmas morning and look under the tree for their presents, Jeremy Tromans
went straight onto his genealogy to see that on Christmas Eve the final
customers had gone in, and overnight he had clicked in as a new Independent
Marketing Director!
Jeremy, by his own admission, has had a stop-start
career with Telecom plus. He was active in his early days in the
business, but then had a four year gap where he did nothing, instead
concentrating on his 'day job' . However, he couldn't help but notice that he
was still getting paid every single month for the work he had done
initially.
So, he came back into the fold and started re-establishing
relationships with his team and building new legs in his business. He has a
strong relationship with those in his team, but is also very willing to share
his time and marketing ideas with people throughout the network, plus he is
always the first to offer practical advice when somebody is faced with a
problem or a challenge. He's more than just an upline to his team for many,
he's a friend and mentor too.
1. Don't give up on people who take time
off from the business they can always come back
2. Everyone is busy and
everyone has personal and family challenges to deal with, some worse than
others but if their goals are compelling enough, they'll find a way to make
this business to work.
