Hi, Richard,
I love questions! There is always room for stretching, isn’t it?
No 29 is an interesting! In Network Marketing, we definitely have to increase our influence. I have recently leraned from Tom ‘Big Al’ Schreiter that
“If other factors have great influence, you are saying , ‘Success is outside me.”
“If other fcators have little or no influenceon you, you are saying, ‘Success is within me’.”
Very insightful perspectives!
Thanks for sharing
