Learning to Ride a Bike

Learning to Ride a Bike

So our 3-year old son, Krew, has been learning to ride a bike with training wheels for a couple of months.

Out of the blue the other day he announces that he doesn’t need his training wheels anymore.  I guess he was watching his 5-year old brother and decided he wanted to be a big boy now, not later.

Mind you, he had never once practiced without training wheels while learning to ride a bike yet.

So I say to myself,

“Hmmmm… why confuse him with pesky details like that? 

If he wants to try, let him try.”

Here’s the result- (Sorry about the shaky camera. I was half-expecting the need to drop the camera any second to catch him.  Turns out I almost dropped the camera just trying to keep up with him.)

Here’s the take-away.  Big lesson for dad.  One of my favorite quotes goes like this,

“The only reason birds can fly and we can’t

is because no one ever told them they couldn’t…”

Yeah, that’s crazy talk, right?  Actually, it’s not.

We spend so much of our lives focusing on all the things we can’t do – can’t ride a bike, can’t talk in public, can’t make money from home, can’t go on that vacation – without realizing that maybe that’s exactly why we’re not doing any of those things.

My 3-year old told me he didn’t need his training wheels anymore.  He had been learning to ride a bike long enough and had decided for himself that he was done with them.  The fact that he’d never practiced without them didn’t phase him a bit.  As his father, what right do I have to squash that kind of belief and faith?

The result?  Krew now rides a bike.  No big deal.  Faith of a child and all that good stuff…

So what the heck does “learning to ride a bike” have to do with making a great income from home? 

Everything.  Think about it-

What good would it have done Krew if I had held him back, told him to wait a few more months ’til I thought it was ‘safe’ or that he was ‘old enough’?

Would that have helped him or hurt him if I had kept holding on to the bike and refused to let go and let him do it himself?

Unfortunately, when it comes to most of us trying to make money from home, we want our mentor to hold our hands and not let go.  We want them to do it for us, to answer all our questions before we try it ourselves.   We want to keep analyzing and thinking about it and spending all kinds of time ‘getting ready’.

Not so with Empower Network.  No hand-holding here.

Oh sure, you’ll get all the support you could possibly need.  But no one’s going to do it for you.  Here’s why-

The same reason you didn’t want your dad holding up your bike for you when you were 12.

The same reason you didn’t want your parents in the car anymore when you turned 16.

It’s no fun when someone does it all for us.  There’s no satisfaction.  No growth.

(And no long-term income anyways because your upline/mentor will get tired of being your babysitter, and where will that leave you…?)

Nope, the real excitement is figuring this stuff out and making it happen for yourself.  Knowing you can make as much income as you want, anytime you need it.

Empower Network offers you this foundation- the snazzy bike helmet, the knee pads, the cool bike.  All you have to do is follow a few simple steps – in other words, start pedaling.

Don’t worry, we’ll be right there running alongside you.  Every step of the way.  We won’t hold your hand or do it for you, but we’ll sure get you started.  Then you’ll see how rewarding (and lucrative…) the ride can be…

…and you’ll be as giddy as a 3-year old who just figured out he doesn’t need his training wheels anymore.

Make it a great day!
