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?

I am sometimes asked what it takes to
succeed in Telecom plus Distributor. A difficult question to answer, as for my
first four years in Telecom plus I did nothing. That’s one of the strange
characteristics of this business, in that we offer the opportunity to others
and one can never predict the outcome. If you want to know how to succeed, look
for opportunities to learn from those who have – the likes of Wes Linden,
Steve Critchley, Jimmy Chapman, Phil Snellman, Robin Brooks, Clive Leach etc.
Every month, these highly successful Distributors are available to you via the
Company’s timetable of Career Opportunity Presentations (COPs) and network
of College of Excellence (COE) training – for free! [read

When you are surrounded by living proof that
the Telecom plus business works, there are no meaningful excuses and only two
logical courses of action – you can either go for your goals or stay where
you are. By the end of Express Day last year, the gauntlet was laid and a
commitment made to achieving five things in the following 12 months…to
reach Group Director, to Qualify for Share Options, to cross stage as Number
One Recruiter, to take us on the Company Holiday and to park one of those nice
Mini One cars on the drive. [read more]
Attaining promotion to Marketing Director on
the 25th December 2008 was a very special Christmas present and the personal
realisation of a four year business plan and a great deal of focused goal
setting. So many people ask what the secret of success is in this type of
business. There are so many, but perhaps the key one is simply to accept that
there is no such thing as a ‘free lunch’ and that network marketing,
contrary to misinformed opinion, is certainly not a get rich quick scheme. [read more]
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.

When considering the whole
philosophy/dynamic of network marketing and how time/financial leverage is
possible through building a team, it fascinates me to look back and consider
that for the next four (going on five years) I did virtually nothing! And aside
from a little contact with Wes Linden, Lil McLoughlin and Trevor Blake, I was
oblivious to the business growth that was beginning to develop through
John’s consistent hard work. My Telecom plus/Utility Warehouse business
was back in it’s box, gathering dust in a corner and that’s pretty
much where it stayed until early 2004. Yet, despite any input from me, it
flourished! [read more]
