I think that God must sit back and belly-laugh every once in a while.
Last night I was at an Oasis meeting in a hotel. When our meeting got over, I went down the hall to use the facilities and noticed a sign on another conference room. The sign read, "BWW".
Battle Royal? BWW Suits vs. Oasis Hawaiian Shirts?
I heard the name Gala and immediately thought of my buddy, and fellow wrestling fan, Imran. Imran would have gotten a kick out of the irony.
Toward the end of our meeting, the host asked people at various levels to stand up and I estimate that there were about a dozen people in that room making over $4,000 a month and another dozen making $1,000 to $4,000. The room held about 50 people and so I figured that roughly 50% of the room was making over $1,000 a month in Network Marketing.
Contrast those numbers with our BWW pals from across the hall and couple of things stick out to me.
1. In Quixtar more people attend meetings with fewer guests than Oasis.
2. In Oasis, serious people attend meetings and they bring guests. (I estimate about 30% of the people at Oasis meetings are guests)
3. Based on my experience in a Quixtar meeting of 50 IBOs, 2 might be earning $1,000 or more a month, (this is only an educated guess).
4. BWW people are insane when it comes to business dress. It was 85 degrees in Seattle and everyone at the BWW meeting was wearing a black suit and tie. Seattle is a pretty laid back city when it comes to business dress. Business casual is the norm unless you are an attorney or a Quixtar IBO.
