One of the things that I love about having a direct sales blog is the ability to connect things that are relevant in our business to things that are happening around us. Last night I watched one of my favorite all time classics- “The Wizard of Oz”. It’s been on my mind this weekend so I decided to write a post about it.
How can we use the Wizard’s wisdom in our business? He said that he was “a good man, but not a very good wizard.” I would have to agree with him on that, but his people skills were excellent. He had the ability to understand what each person was searching for and help them to discover that they already had it.
In coaching women in direct sales, I frequently see that they too are searching for something that they already have. It sometimes appears that others have a better job, more money, thinner hips, and so on. When you compare yourselves to others, most of the time it appears that you are not as good, or qualified.
Why not look within and try to find what makes you unique and celebrate who you are, instead of trying to be like someone else. The greatest discovery is when you find out how great you really are, and how you can impact others lives!
It takes head (brains), heart, and courage to run a business. All three of these are necessary. Leaving out even one of them is like baking a cake without eggs. It’s just not enough! The good news is you have all of these already! Belief is what changes everything!
Once the scarecrow was told that he had the brains, suddenly he realized that he did! The lion continued to help Dorothy, even though he was afraid. The Wizard helped him to discover that courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability to “do it anyway”! My favorite quote from the Wizard was given to the tinman. I thought that it was so profound. “Heart is not judged by how much you love, but how much you are loved by others.” Isn’t that something that we can all strive for?
Tell me what lessons YOU can learn from the Wizard of Oz?
