Knowledge is Not Enough

fire-hand-ovenKnowledge is not enough.

You can attend schools, read books, listen to audios,
watch videos..and acquire no Skills – zero, zip, nada,
bupkis.

There’s an old saying… “Experience is the best teacher.”

We learn by making mistakes. Everything we learned and
mastered required many mistakes: Walking, talking,
riding a bike, throwing a ball, reading, writing, basic
math, cooking, etc.

Usually the best lessons learned are those very painful
and costly mistakes. “Careful! The stove is hot!” took
on a whole new level of understanding the first time
You touched a red-hot one.

“Wow, wow, WOW!!!!! Oh, my GAWD, that HURTS!!!!!! Huh?

The sad thing is, the Fear of making mistakes holds
folks back from learning new skills or mastering old
ones. But, wait a minute… WE CANNOT MASTER NEW SKILLS
WITHOUT MAKING MISTAKES.

Another old saying…”If You want to swim, You have to
get wet.”

Learning some things, like swimming, should not be
attempted without a Mentor. When choosing a Mentor,
look for these two qualities…
1. A vested interest;
2. Competence.

Someone who loves You very much does not want You to
drown, but be sure they demonstrate swimming ability
before allowing them to teach You.

Success in Network Marketing requires mastering some
People Skills.

At Mentoring For Free we teach the Personality Colors
skill. Yeah, there’s a video to watch, a CD to a listen
to and a book to read…

But, unlike anyone else I know of who teaches about
personalities, we provide live, hands-on Practice 3
times every week.

On these 3 conference calls we also teach the skill of
Talking to people…and the Critical skill of
LISTENING.

Your Mentor will demonstrate how to have good telephone
dialogues and leave voice messages. Then Your Mentor
will let You practice doing the same, all the while
standing by You with a life preserver in case You get
into trouble.

All of us mastered these Skills this way…and, so far,
in almost 12 years, no one has drowned.

Your Friend and Servant,

Ken Klemm

P.S. “Pain is an aspect of everyday life,
but suffering is a Choice.”
