5 LESSONS OF THE PENCIL MAKER

Mention: https://blog.np.church/the-parable-of-the-pencil/

Hello Everyone, This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. I had to write about this story. We all need motivation, love, and inspiration.

PENCIL PARABLE

Remember the No. 2 pencil? A skinny, yellow tool that determined your future?

As students, we were always given a No. 2 pencil to answer questionnaires in class.

Why a No. 2 Pencil?

The number represents the hardness of the metal. The lower the number, the softer the metal. Early machines that scanned and scored tests couldn’t detect marks made by hard pencil metal. Marks from by No. 3 and 4 pencils resulted in erroneous results.

pencils No 2

No. 1 pencils were too soft and smudged on the tests.

So, No. 2 pencils were the Goldilocks answer – just right.

5 Lessons of the Pencil Maker

There is a parable about a Pencil Maker which encourages you to know that you are a special person, with unique God-given talents and abilities.

Just before the Pencil Maker put the pencils in their box he told them five things:

1. Everything you do will always leave a mark.

2. You can always correct the mistakes you make.

3. What is important is what’s inside of you.

4. In life you will undergo painful sharpenings, which will only make you better and useful.

5. To be the best pencil you must allow yourself to be held and guided by the hand that holds you.

You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in God’s hand and allow others to access you for the many gifts you possess.

Get Your Lead Out

Only you can fulfill the purpose which you were born to accomplish.

Never allow yourself to stay discouraged and think that your life is insignificant and cannot be changed.

Like the pencil, always remember that the most important part of who you are, is what’s inside of you.

Now, get your lead out!

The Road Less Traveled-Point A To Point B

Hello Everyone This Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s Adventure-The Road Less traveled. On the internet highway, there are untold miles of space. Each of us tries to carve out our niche, traveling a road most avoid. WHY?

It takes a lot of work, time, and investment. The investment covers buying upgrades, tools, advertising, in some cases a domain name. Buying a done for you system gives you all the tools to start and begin operating a Home Base Business.

Mention: https://images.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search

On this journey, I have had mentors show me the correct pathways. Tell me to avoid certain twists in the road. Given me a road map, getting from point A to point B.

Setting up the Lead Capture page, Landing Page, setting up the autoresponder. What coop advertising to buy TL2Ivm coop, Udimi, and other great viral mailers. Our telegraph room is one of my main tools. I can reach out with questions when I get stuck. The answer is always there. I love TEAMWORK. There are so many social networks site Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, that you can use to get organic leads that turn into customers.

One of my hard moments, was getting on the phone. Rob Gehring said it best” Why can we talk to people daily, but not put people into our business making money.” Help enough people get what they want, and YOU will get what you want.

People helping people create a better lifestyle. Laughing, sharing stories, leading the way. Leaders aren’t picked, their recognized. What business model do you follow? Who is your inspiration? The BIGGEST untapped ideas are in the graveyard. People never go for it. They let fear move in and crush out the heart.

YOU only have one LIFE. Make it huge, make it small, make it all about others, or just a single person. whatever you choose—–CHOOSE. Make a decision to do something you have never done before, TODAY.

Stay Up For The Challenge

Scripts for Calling Your Prospects

Hello Everyone This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s Adventure is TALKING.

Mention: Written by Dan Tyre https://blog.hubspot.com/sales/cold-call-script

Introduce yourself.

First, say your name and which company you work for. You need to sound confident and energetic. I can’t tell you how many cold calls I listen to that begin with, “This is mlkjdkfj from mnxcmvn.”

The prospect goes, “What? Who??” Right from the start, the call is going poorly.

You don’t need to yell your greeting, but you do need to articulate.

After you say, “This is [name] from [company],” pause.

This is hard for cold callers. They want to jump straight into their pitch. But I want you to take a deep breath and say nothing for eight whole seconds.

While you’re pausing, your prospect is searching their brain for who you could be. It sounds like you know them — are you a client? A former coworker? A current one?

Establish rapport.

The call is already deviating from the standard cold call. Then you hit them with a question to establish some rapport. Your goal: Get ‘em talking and prove you’re familiar with them. A good question is topical and makes someone smile. If they seem receptive to chatting, ask them a follow-up question. Trust me, this always lightens the mood. (Unless your prospect is in a major hurry, in which case, you should get the point.)

Questions You Should Ask:

“Have you ever thought about finding a way to earn part-time income to supplement your job?”

“Do you keep your options open when it comes to earning income?”

“Do you have an interest in learning how to make money in a home business?”

“Would you be interested if you could start a home business part-time and work toward replacing your full-time income?”

“Have you ever thought about starting a home business if the right coach came along?”

“Have you ever thought about the money you can save on taxes by simply starting a part-time home business?”

The key here: Keeps it casual and light.

Educating customers helps them realize the full potential of your products, and gradually migrate to new or more sophisticated usage of them.

In closing PRACTICE, THEN PRACTICE MORE, THEN PRACTICE SOME MORE. The more you get familiar with this process, the easier it becomes.

Talking Should Feel Natural, Like Best Friends.

BEING A GIVING PERSON

Hello Everyone, This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. I am learning what it means to be a giving person. This is a BIBLE passage from 1 Tim 6:18-Be Rich In Good Deeds, And (Be ) Generous And Willing To Share.

When I look at my Journey so far, There are numerous people who have poured out their generous spirit to me. Don and Janet Legere, Rob Gehring, Jon Olson and Blain Jones just to name a few. I get good feedback from people like Michael Camire, Elizabeta Ramsak, Gail Quantock, Kevin M,Lisa Gentile, helping me to grow outside of my comfort zone. Encouraging me to do the daily tasks that make a business grow.

I want to give recognition to Jeff Haden https://www.inc.com/jeff-haden/10-habits-of-remarkably-giving-people.html

People Are Hard-Wired To Be Kind And Generous, Says Study ...

They give: generously, selflessly, and without expectation of return. They give because their happiness–and their success–comes from someone else’s happiness and someone else’s success.

These people give The gift of praise. They know that a few words of recognition–especially when that recognition is publicly given–could just be the nudge that inspires an average performer to become a great performer.

They give the gift of requesting help. When you ask for help several things happen. You implicitly show you respect the person giving the advice. You show you respect that person’s experience, skill, and insight. And you show you trust that other person, since by asking for help you’ve made yourself vulnerable.

They give the gift of privacy. Remarkably giving people not only respect another person’s privacy, but they also help them guard their privacy–because they know it’s not necessary to know in order to care.

Only by giving are you able to receive more than you ...
How will you become a person of GIVING? We all need to work together, building a dynasty for GENERATIONS to come.

What Are Your STRUGGLES

Hello Everyone This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Being on the road 5 days a week driving,2400 miles from Monday to Friday can be tough for me. I only have limited time on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Thursday and Friday are very hectic driving days.

I take my laptop, phone, and tablet with me so I can have access to the internet.

ROB GEHRING asked this question–How come we talk to people every day about nothing really and can’t talk to contacts that could put money in your pocket? Personally, I struggle with this. Is it the fear of NO? Fear of Yes? Don’t know what to say? How to get your point across as a professional? Do we believe in what we are doing? Do we set goals? Do we have an accountability partner to keep us on track?

Life, Pain, Struggle, Anguish, Misery

I believe for me it is the UNCOMFORTABLE ZONE. That place of dread and torment. Not really. I just have not done enough phone calls to make it easier to talk to people.

We have scripts to use— but don’t use them. Coaches and mentors who lead and guide us, but really don’t follow. I really want to build a legacy and need a strong why. I found my WHY and the time has come for Michael to have his tires meet the road.

People want what we have to offer. People will follow or they won’t. Lets work with those who want it. I know it’s a numbers game. We must continue to advertise, blog, and share every day. JUST SHOW UP EVERY DAY. Do the best you can to make improvements on and in yourself.

At the end of the day be better at sunset then when you started at sunrise.

There are a few goals you should always keep in mind. What’s your main purpose for sharing? What value do you bring? How can you improve what people see?

Building People Up

POSITIVE ATTITUDE

Most people don’t realize how hard keeping a positive attitude is. We must train ourselves to stay positive, while putting up the walls to block negativity.

Michael’s favorite saying:” You have 2 choices when you wake up in the morning. Be Happy Or Sad. There are enough sad people in the world without me being one of them.

I have to admit, I spend a great deal of time by myself. So interacting with people for short periods of time is easy. Being up beat,funny and encouraging.

When I get home is another story. I must try really hard to be upbeat, happy and encouraging with my family. I love them, care for their well being and want what’s best for them. They know all my faults as well. Pressing those buttons. Yep– you guessed it–negativity creeps in.


“Instead of worrying about what you cannot control, shift your energy to what you can create.”

“It’s only after you’ve stepped outside your comfort zone that you begin to change, grow, and transform.”

“Be the reason someone smiles. Be the reason someone feels loved and believes in the goodness in people.”

Be the person who people choose to hang out with. My wife said, ” I want to be the home family comes to, not avoid.”

“Be positive. Be true. Be kind.”
