THANK YOU FOR THE SHARD WISDOM.

Epictetus

Translator W. A. Oldfather

Epictetus was a crippled Greek slave of Phrygia during Nero's reign (AD 54–68) who heard lectures by the Stoic Musonius before he was freed. Expelled with other philosophers by the emperor Domitian in 89 or 92 he settled permanently in Nicopolis in Epirus. There, in a school which he called 'healing place for sick souls', he taught a practical philosophy, details of which were recorded by Arrian, a student of his, and survive in four books of Discourses and a smaller Encheiridion, a handbook which gives briefly the chief doctrines of the Discourses. He apparently lived into the reign of Hadrian (AD 117–138).

Bogdan,

Can we apply this quote to marketing?

A person first thought should be Why?

Why do I want to have my own business?

Without a strong Why, the person may never progress to the second step.

The second step is to determine what their passion is, which will determine what they want to base their business on.

The passion should be that burning desire, that goes from the top of their head to their toes.

When these two have been set in their mind, they will then be able to enter the searching process for a business.

Many marketers are like a ship without a rudder, just floating, and drifting on the sea of marketing, jumping from one business venture to another.

When they fo this they become network marketing junkies, that will never build a stable income.
