Don't ask me for a date if I'm already married !

I'm married (in love with my MLM company). You call me or email me and ask me for a date (invite me to join your opportunity). What have you done to me? You've turned me off. I have no respect for you. You have not honoured the fact I am already "in love". I will not listen to you. You will not be a friend. You have disrespected me.
Now turn that around. One of my mentors, Michael Dlouhy, shared the above parable with us on one of my team calls. We meet, you find out I'm married (in love with my MLM company), you have some tips, some good books, you're looking for a friend to share with and we build a relationship. We have a good friendship. We work together well. Then one day I find out my marriage isn't exactly what I thought it was. They dumped me (through no fault of my own), they just decided to quit (walk away from our partnership), I found out they are not really going to be there for me for the rest of my life. I'm devastated and who am I going to turn to? YOU ! Because I respect you, I know we can work well together. Now I am single and ready to hear your proposal.
Now that's network marketing.
