I like to call myself a professional “Googler” (not sure if it is truly a word) because I like to poke around on the Internet to find out how others are marketing their businesses.
I am always curious to see whether they’re selling products or services and how they’re getting their certain message out. When I land on a website of interest I like to look at every aspect of the site and look at how they are presenting their information. I always make note of my first impression of the website. Was it convincing by the visual presentation? Is the color scheme inviting, exciting or just plain boring? Are they really serious about what they are selling and their business? Is it a big operation or a small mom and pop (nothing wrong with mom and pops)? And so on…
Well anyway, I happened to stumble upon a couple’s sites that was quite inviting. They were selling some type of multi-level thing-a-ma-jig. Each of the owners had their own “about me” tab which told their story. The story they told was about how they made the decision to put their destiny in their own hands by starting a business. Reading their stories did peak my interest. But more convincing was the introduction video. It allowed me to get an idea of who I would be dealing with if I were to “bite” their bait. By seeing this video, I decided “ok, this guy looks trustworthy and personable. I think will venture out a little more.” I still couldn’t figure out what they were really selling so I went to their “Frequently Asked Questions” tab to get more details. While reading the FAQ’s I noticed a question that really caught my eye:
(Content taken from envisionfreedom.net.)
Question: What is a realistic first year income? Their Answer: Realistic? We don’t believe in realistic. Realistic people do not become millionaires. We would much rather achieve unrealistic results. With the exponential compensation plan, your first year potential is unlimited, given you follow our lead and implement the system. You are the only one that can hold you back.
After reading their answer, it was then that I started shouting “HALLELUJAH!” I immediately began to think about what it really means to be a follower of Christ and to truly know Jesus.
We often say that “by FAITH, we’re going to do this, and by FAITH we’re going to do that…” But do we really believe it is going to happen? To me, doing things by FAITH is being willing to be UNREALISTIC. The secular world would easily say, “The way you are going about a certain thing does not make sense.” But should it? If we are walking by FAITH and not by sight would we still get the same results? I realized that FAITH = UNREALISTIC. I would much rather do something by FAITH –do something UNREALISTIC- and get UNREALISTIC RESULTS, than just play it safe. Playing it safe would be that I am being REALISTIC and only getting REALISTIC RESULTS.
Let me tell you a little bit about my unrealistic results. Back in 2006, I stepped out on my FAITH and received results beyond my wildest dreams. I had absolutely no extra money and started a business that grossed 2.3 million dollars by 2007. Those unrealistic results allowed God to use me to plant many seeds in people’s lives beyond my belief. Those unrealistic results allowed me to support my family way above our needs. You’re talking about UNREALISTIC RESULTS!
Let’s see. The Vision Manifestation Queen… is a woman who grew up in a single parent home where mom did her very best without financial support from her father (UNREALISTIC RESULTS). The Vision Manifestation Queen…a woman who grew up in a small town that had absolutely no job opportunities for her other than working at the local factory or in a field or a fast food restaurant experiencing (UNREALISTIC RESULTS). How about being able to stand in a grocery store line and hearing the Spirit say “pay for that person’s entire grocery bill” (UNREALISTIC RESULTS). I can go on and on how I was blessed with UNREALISTIC RESULTS because I stepped out on faith and refused to allow fear to hold me down…Yes, the fear of rejection was knocking at my door. Sometimes, I still don’t believe it. My natural eyes just could not understand it. Remember, God is the one who gives us power to get wealth. He is no respecter of persons. If He did it for me, He will do it for you. I do not take any credit for these UNREALISTIC RESULTS. I give God all of the glory. So I encourage you to continue walking in faith as you manifest the vision God has assigned you because if He gave you the vision there is a plan for provision.
YOUR CHALLENGE:
Do something unrealistic with your business. Do it by faith and let God show you what He can do.
Look up the definition of “realistic” and “faith”
