Pushing People Up

Taken from Joel Osteen - Live Like a Champion Devotional:

There are people who God brings into our lives that hold the key to our promotion. They hold the key to us reaching our full potential. But these people are not here to help us or to give us breaks or open new doors; these are people that God places in our path so we can help them, and show them favor. They are divinely connected to our destiny. We won't go higher until we help them go higher. You have to step out and sow a seed into those people. The higher they rise, the higher you will rise. If you will help others fulfill their dreams God will help you fulfill your dreams. Make the effort to develop a habit of "pushing people up." When you take time to invest in someone else it doesn't go unnoticed. Every minute you encourage that friend, every mile you go out of your way to do a good deed, every penny you spend to make someone else better, know that God sees it. He's not only going to pay you back, He's going to multiply what you've sown. When you push people up, the blessings are going to come down! You're going to get breaks, see His favor, and new doors are going to open to you. As you live your life as a giver, and look for ways to help others, you're going to see your dreams and desires come to pass. God will fulfill His promises to you and you'll live the abundant life He has prepared for you!

What does this have to do with achieving success from home? EVERYTHING!!

My partner T. was faced with a situation today that involved a CHOICE. Do the right thing - or - do the thing that will be the "best" for her business? In network marketing, we share products and recruit and train other people to do the same. She had a contact that was interested in the business AND interested in working with T. However, during a meeting today, T. learned that this prospect was engaged to another consultant's son (this other consultant is actively building a business). She knew that she should encourage the prospect to sign up under her future mother-in-law and not herself. She took the high road and did the right thing. It was painful for her as she described how she had to "let go" of the vision she had of this prospect joining her team and the future business she would bring. But it was TOTALLY the right thing to do.

GO T.!! By pushing this prospect UP - blessings WILL come down to you! I'm honored to be in business with you!
