    About this ebook

    We all seek to reach our goals and dreams, and in most cases we even know what we need to do to get there. Yet with every journey comes the inevitable obstacles and detours that throw us off-course. It is not enough to know where you want to go, but you also must constantly fuel your motivation and desire to achieve consistency and results. Secrets from the SOC Drawer is a compilation of motivational lessons, anecdotes, and powerful messages that are both practical and engaging. These stories serve as your “SOC GPS” to help you see the humor in a situation, catch yourself in bad habits, and above all, serve as your guide to keep you on course, to encourage you along the surest path towards your goals.

    The magic sentences and catchy phrases throughout the book deliver a wealth of insight, told in a very human and relatable way. You will discover a “vocabulary” of tools and concepts to draw upon in your SendOutCards journey. You’ll finely develop and hone your own SOC GPS, identify with the lessons and stories, and fill your own SOC drawer with the wisdom and fortitude you need to reach your destination.

      SOCKS

      No matter what I do,

      no matter how I try,

      I always lose a sock,

      when I wash and get them dry.

      I’m pretty sure there is

      a monster trapped inside,

      that feeds and feeds on socks,

      with a monstrous appetite.

      He gobbles up argyles,

      he wolfs down woolen socks,

      he chews on cotton ones,

      he’ll eat up any socks.

      But he’s picky and he’s cruel,

      he only eats just one,

      from each and every pair,

      that’s how he has his fun.

      He makes my socks mismatch,

      with all the ones he took,

      but what he doesn’t know is—

      I like the way they look

      —Shawn Forno

      INTRODUCTION

      Have you ever noticed that people tend to put things in their sock drawer other than socks? It’s a place to stash things, to store them away for when the occasion arises—a haven for random yet useful knick-knacks.

      In a business such as SendOutCards, the little bits of knowledge that you collect along the way are sometimes the most useful, because these nuggets of wisdom give you a vocabulary of tools and thoughts to draw upon. It is too easy for people to get lost in the big picture, whereas the little things are often easier to grasp, relate to, and then access when a particular situation occurs. It’s more manageable to learn these small lessons along the way, rather than trying to understand everything at once. You’re able to actually hear that mantra or that magic sentence in your head, and therefore have more confidence in your responses and actions.

      My intention in writing Secrets from the SOC Drawer is to bring to light some important concepts that have surfaced throughout my personal SendOutCards journey. I’ve learned a lot through my own experiences in the last three years by throwing myself into this wonderful business with enthusiasm and gusto! I’ve always enjoyed creating magic sentences and catchy phrases with a lesson or idea attached, that will perhaps help others see the humor in a situation or catch themselves in a bad habit.

      The concepts serve as your SOC GPS, keeping you on course, and guiding you on the best and shortest path to your destination. When a detour arises in your journey, which it always does, your SOC GPS immediately and calmly takes in the new information that it’s given, and recalculates the best alternative route, without halting your forward momentum.

      Think about the navigation system in your vehicle: If you make a wrong turn, does your GPS suddenly sigh really big and say, You know what? Maybe you don’t really want to go there after all. Just forget it. Or, Oh just pull over and stop, you’re totally lost and it’s not worth it. Just choose an easier and closer destination. No way! The ever-persistent voice keeps giving you the way, in a perky British accent, no matter how many missteps you make, until she proudly announces that you’ve reached your destination. What would you have done without her?

      My mother had always disliked driving to unknown locations until one day she bought Nuvi, her new portable GPS that she jokingly and affectionately personifies as if it’s a good friend of hers. Nuvi comes on road trips and keeps her company, and Mom no longer minds driving as long as trusty Nuvi is by her side to tell her where to turn. (No, she doesn’t sit down and eat with Nuvi, or I’d have to stage an intervention!) But the point is, people are much more likely to embark on an unknown journey when they feel like they have something steady and dependable to guide them.

      Your SOC GPS is no different. As you go along, you will hear these magic sentences and phrases in your mind. The sum of those small parts makes up that strong foundation necessary to achieve the success and longevity you need to reach your final destination.

      As Jeff Olson discusses in The Slight Edge, it’s the small things that give you the advantage over time, as long as you are consistently moving in a positive direction.

      However, it’s not enough to have the magic nuggets guide you. You will also need to have the will to follow the GPS voice all the way through your journey. Even in your car, you could switch it off, and wham, you’re no closer to where you want to go, and chances are you’ll settle for somewhere else. So in your success journey, you must also factor in motivation, desire, and productivity.

      You certainly don’t have to work 24 hours a day to be successful in network marketing; in fact, it’s the aim to leverage your time so that you can work part-time while you enjoy a substantial full-time income. However, you would be hard-pressed to find a leader in this industry who hasn’t worked extremely hard—who doesn’t eat, sleep, and breathe their
