Nature and your MLM Home business opportunity.

What can we learn from nature that directly applies to our MLM businesses? Are there aspects of nature that we can apply to growing our business from social networking? I think there are. Living in Nebraska has its advantages.  Natures abundance is very real and in your face.  I love the outdoors and spend some time out observing and a bunch of time capturing nature on digitally and on canvas. Today I will address the business savvy of geese. Geese are awesome social birds and are experts at team building and support, items of key importance when building a MLM home business opportunity. Geese fly in a “V” formation, the whole flock adds roughly 70% to the flying range of the group when compared to flying individually. Business associates working together with common goals and a sense of family or community can get to where they are going more efficiently because of the synergism created. When a goose falls out of formation the effort of going it alone is quickly recognized. The resistance and drag is quickly reduced upon getting back into formation and taking advantage of the lift created by the bird immediately in front. So if we are at least as smart as a goose we will stay in the group that is moving in the same direction as we want. When the lead goose tires he rotates back in the wing and the next goose flies point. If you have ever watched cycling or been a cyclist, it is the same thing. There is wisdom it taking turns with the hard jobs whether it is flying geese, a peloton of cyclist or a team of people working towards a common goal. A skein of geese will continuously honk their encouragement from behind to those up front. We want to make sure we give encouragement and praise to lift the spirits and foster a winning attitude and mental toughness to those that haven’t taken their turn up front yet. Finally when a goose is wounded, or sick enough to fall out of formation, two geese fall out of formation and follow him down to nurture, help and protect him. The two healthy geese will stay with him until he is healthy and able to fly or he is dead. Only then will they begin the journey on their own or with another formation to catch up with their group. So again if we have the common sense of a goose we will protect one another, stand by one another in times of need and make a few friends who seem to be going in the same direction. We can look into many aspects of nature and find wisdom in dealing with people. Dealing with people is the most important aspect of building a MLM home business. For more information on building a team whether it’s for your real estate company, investment service group or an internet network marketing opportunity I would take a peek at Marketing Merge University.

For more information on geese, check out Wikipedia here. Here is a synopsis of what geese are called. The male goose is called a gander (Anglo-Saxon gandra) and the female is the goose (Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)); young birds before fledging are known as goslings. A group of geese on the ground is called a gaggle; when flying in formation, it is called a wedge or a skein (see also list of collective nouns for birds).
