Perfectly Good Tools...

Is knowledge really power?  I have often heard these words in various commercials, but knowledge by itself is not power.  Knowledge is simply a hammer lying next to a box of nails.  Until the nails actually meet the working end of the hammer, knowledge is just potential.  Many network marketers make the mistake of acquiring knowledge and then sitting on their hands, or they may even apply their knowledge for a period of time, but when results do not come quickly, they put their hammer down and go in search of another tool from the shed, only to follow the same cycle.  Never consistently applying what you have learned is simply knowledge on ice. 

Some may even have an entire garage full of perfectly good hammers, and box upon box of nails, but without hammer meeting nail, nothing will be built. 

I wonder what that house next door will look like in six months to a year?  What will your business look like in six months to a year?  Keep consistently applying the knowledge you gain for your opportunity and find out what you can build.

  1. Great point, I also can relate to the wrong hammer being used. For example using a sledge hammer to drive a nail is over kill. We can sometimes apply the wrong tool or too much of our knowledge and time to sometime that is not that big of a deal.

    Keep em coming my brother. God bless

  2. We all know that knowledge puffs up. When we use our knowledge along with the the leading of the Holy Spirit then ALL that we put our hands to will prosper! Sometimes we want to build without the guidance or instruction from God. Psalm 127 says, "Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain" Is God your builder?
