Folks in MLM love to stories. This story "Network Marketing business and the Carpenter" is by Garth Coward.

Here’s a story about a carpenter, but it could be about you and your network marketing business.

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house construction business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family.

He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They could get by. The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor.

The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not completely in his work…he had forgotten why he had loved building homes for most of his life. He resorted to poor workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career.

When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to inspect the house, the contractor handed the front-door key to the carpenter. “This is your house,” he said, “my gift to you.”

What a shock! What a shame! If the carpenter had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.

So it is with us. We often work on our networking business in a distracted way…unfocused, unclear why we got into the business in the first place.

Why are you in the network marketing business? When your WHY is clear it will help you build your business and get you through the tough times.
