frog1.gifMark Twain once said that if the first thing you do every morning is eat a live frog, you should be able to go through the rest of your day with the satisfaction of knowing this would be the worst thing to happen to you all day long.  We all have frogs we have to eat every week, for they represent things we dread doing, things we feel uncomfortable doing, things we fear doing, etc.  More than likely one or two frogs you have to deal with today or tomorrow are eating away at you right now.

Many people feel the act of selling a concept, a plan or a product to someone is a big frog they can’t eat or swallow. They have a constant fear of rejection.  Common sense tells us that we shouldn’t expect success in sales if we’re not willing to make the pitch and ask for the order (i.e. close the sale).  But the fear of rejection, the fear of hearing the word “no,” often leads to procrastination and delays, eventually to failure and quitting something that once held great promise.  

The key to your financial success in life is learning to eat your frog first thing every day.  Take the one thing you dread doing the most and do it first.  Then, everything else comes easy.  If you have two frogs, do as Twain sugggested - always eat the ugliest one first.  If you can learn to eat your frogs, putting the items you dread doing the most at the top of your “to do” list, making them the highest priority and the first thing you tackle daily, you’ll find the rest of your day and week will be a piece of cake. 

Twain always had a way with words, but somehow, this saying has always had a deep and profound meaning for me.  People who can get up every day, organized and willing to eat their frogs first, are typically highly successful in sales and marketing.  You can be successful also if you are willing to eat your frogs!  In fact, if you can eat just 9 frogs, you’ll be off to a super start with your Watkins Products business and soon be making several hundred dollars per month during your first year.  To illustrate, I’ll give you an example of how you can make $941 per month.

The Summit Group of Watkins Associates calls this the 9-4-1 plan.   Sponsor just 9 people as Watkins Associates.  You may have to introduce the moneymaking opportunity plan of Watkins to 20 or more people before you get 9 to sign up.  Continue eating at least one frog daily until you get 9 people to become Watkins Associates.  Once you have 9 associates underneath you, you will help each of them by seeing that they receive guidancce from you and the Summit Group so that each averages recruiting 4 new associates.  You now have 45 people in your downline, the 9 you sponsored and the 4 (on average) that each of your nine sponsored.  So one layer below you there are 9 associates, and 2 layers below you there are 36 new associates.  Now, let’s say that on the layer of 36 associates you reach a point fairly soon where each of them sponsors one new Watkins Associate. That’s another 36 associates.  Once you’ve reached this point you now have 81 people in your downline.  Visualize the 3 layers:  9 x 4 x 1.  Including yourself, you have 82 people in your Watkins sales organization.

Now, if each of the 82 associates in your Watkins sales organization or downline diverted just $20 per week of their purchases for personal home products, medicine chest and first aid supplies, baking supplies, etc., your total commissions and bonuses from your 9 x 4 x 1 sales organization would earn you an estimated $941 per month.  And it all started with you sponsoring just 9 people.  With that I’ll close with a simple question — “Was it worth eating a few frogs to get your 9 personally sponsored Watkins Associates?”  Think about what $941 could do for you.  That’s 2 new car payments per month.  Over a 12 month period the total earnings would cover annual college tuition costs at a state college or university. 

Put that $941 in your pocket one day.  Make up your mind to start eating those frogs now.  If you’re not a Watkins Associate and want more information about Watkins, click here.
