Today I got a rather unusual success tip.
Something I’ve personally used myself.
And, if you do it, I believe will have a HUGE and wonderful impact on your business, your profits and even your ego.
Anyway, here’s the scoop:
Back in my MLM days I once attended a “ho-hum” network marketing event that was mostly the “ra ra!” jump-up-and-down antics I usually saw at these things.
And yet, one speech stuck out like a sore thumb.
What happened was, this lady speaker (can’t remember her name) told the story about how she and her husband built their huge business in their small town. And how, whenever they had any success, this psycho chick (apparently her name was “Amy”) would try sabotaging them.
Amy did some really nasty things, too.
Like spreading lies about them (and their kids), trying to get their other businesses shut down, and even trying to have them blacklisted by everyone in town.
Pretty freaky stuff.
Yet, extremely helpful, too.
Because she said, despite Amy’s agenda, they were grateful for her.
Why?
Because Amy became the “driving force” in their business.
Every time Amy tried some new shenanigan, they got that much more angry and determined to succeed (ultimately their business exploded in sales to the tune of hundreds of thousands of smackeroos per year).
And at the end she asked:
“Who’s YOUR Amy?”
Who’s actively sabotaging YOU?
I knew who my “Amy” was.
And this person has no idea how much he/she helped me when the chips were down and I wanted to quit.
Heck, even TODAY my “Amy” sometimes gnaws at my mind.
And each time that happens I end up with some new breakthrough that makes me want to go find my Amy (wherever my Amy is nowadays), get on my knees and say “thank you!”
Anyway, I bet you have an Amy, too, don’t you?
Someone just ITCHING to see you fail?
And who wants to be there when it happens?
If not, then consider making your #1 goal to figure out who your Amy is (everyone’s got an Amy). Then prove Amy wrong (by succeeding). Then go and thank Amy for the “help.”
It’ll be the most therapeutic (and profitable) thing you ever do.
It’ll also piss Amy off 😉
