How we love such interviews!!! We simply love to hear about such extraordinary stories and about such extraordinary people. We love to hear about their strength of character, perseverance and how network marketing changes people’s lives. Ladies and gentlemen, today Ranking MLM is proud to present you with one of such stories. Ladies and Gentlemen, today we present you the second part of the interview with Mr Steve Ottewell!
STEVE, I THINK THAT YOU WILL AGREE WITH ME IF I SAY THAT SPORT IS BASED ON ONE THING: COMPETITION. FOLLOWING THAT LOGIC, WE CAN SAY THAT WORK IS BASED ON EFFECTIVENESS, FRIENDSHIP ON TRUST AND ADVERTISING ON HAPPINESS, FOR INSTANCE. HOW ABOUT NETWORK MARKETING? WHAT IS THE ONE THING THAT NETWORK MARKETING IS BASED ON?
I would say that sport is based very much on the same thing as work and network marketing and at its base is Discipline, example if we are not disciplined, we will not go training, we will not get out of bed to go to our job and we will not learn the skills needed to become successful in network marketing. Sport is a competition however again so are the other two, not in that way that most see it though most see the competition as being against someone when the true competition in anything ourselves we compete with ourselves to become 1 percent better every day.
If you’re not your best in sport you lose, if you’re not your best at work you get fired and in Network marketing if you’re not your best you don’t get paid. I would say the one thing that network marketing is based on is Relationship building.
I KNOW THAT IN THE MEANTIME, YOU SUFFERED A SERIOUS INJURY. WILL YOU SHARE THIS STORY WITH OUR READERS? HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO GET BACK IN SHAPE?
Yes, as I shared earlier, I had a virus attack my nervous system paralysing my right arm, which took me around 4 years to getting the feeling back, your readers may have noticed through my answers that I have a competitive streak in me and when someone says it cannot be done, I have this crazy voice inside that says I am going to prove you wrong.
My English teacher at school once said to me Mr Ottewell you will never account to anything). Not even sure if they can say that nowadays Lol, showing my age), because I was always staring and the window and being disruptive. At twelve years old I took that as a challenge so all our naysayers we better thank them to as they are the fuel to the fire. I digress, I do that a lot. I would say mindset is key to everything, I respected what the Dr’s said but who said they are right. If we want an extension built, we get three quotes so why take one person’s opinion. I did what I knew, and I taped my ram to machine in the gym and used the weight to move the arm as I am always an advocate of use it or lose it, so if I kept it moving eventually, I would get it to work and it did just that and now in 2020 I have full feeling, mobility in the arm and am back training 4 days a week.
AND WHY DO YOU WHAT YOU DO? WHAT IS YOUR DRIVE IN MLM, YOUR PERSONAL „WHY”? THE MONEY, THE FREEDOM, THE THRILL? SOMETHING ELSE?
My personal WHY is my immediate family and my extended family because of the nature of our up bringing I feel now every blessed that I can impact the lives of so many so my WHY is to Build a wall of security around those I love give them the freedom to live life on their terms and change our legacy as the generation that changed everything in our families tree.
My next drive as always been to serve and impact peoples live firstly it was physically through body composition, basically helping the achieve their goals, however as a personal trainer there were never enough hours in the day to help enough people and the more people I helped the less time I got to spend with my family, and now with network marketing I can coach people how to do what I did and go to work on themselves bring everything they have ever wanted all under one roof and to achieve all what the network marketing industry has to offer.
Then thirdly I must admit there is a thrill factor as when you see one life changed and then another you do start to wonder how big this can go and how many lives you can change.
AND HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN WITH YOUR CURRENT COMPANY? HOW IS THE GROWTH IN YOUR ORGANISATION?
I have been with my current company for around a year now as we have been pioneers in pre pre launching the company into the UK and 14 others European markets on the same day June 8th, 2020. That comes with good and bad Good your first in Line Bad your first in line. So growth brings growing pains just like building the body I built.
Our growth has been what we predicted I am not allowed to share exact sales and numbers, but just to say some companies have not achieved what we as a team have done so far this year.
I believe and one of the reasons for joining the company is we are positioned in front of the next BIG Mega Trend. Every decade or so along comes a technology that changes everything, In the 90’s it was Aloe Vera which is a well-respected product even today, however I believe this mega trend will far surpass even that, as the Ketone, Keto, Ketosis Mega trend is just gathering momentum by the day and people are now starting to wake up to that. I share we are like Steve Jobs when he stepped outside of the Garage with Apple all those years ago and given what then happened and knowing now with hindsight would not you want to be a part of that. I see us as The Apple of the Ketone World.
STEVE, WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE FUTURE?
My plans are to help thousands of people realise their dreams and take them out of their head and turn them into reality. Jim Rohn said help enough people get what they want in life and you will get what you want. That sounds good to me.
Personally, we are in talks to Build our Dream Villa in Spain, and do what network marketing allows us to do and that is have time freedom and work from anywhere that we wish to.
LAST QUESTION, LAST BUT NOT LEAST: DO YOU HAVE A LIFE MOTTO?
Sometimes, life is about risking everything for a dream nobody can see but you.
