Why You and Your Sponsor May Be Like the Lone Ranger and Tonto I was watching Lopez Tonight and Bill Cosby was on as George Lopez's guest.
Dr.
Cosby told a story about how he researched the Lone Ranger's name for his side kick, "Tonto".
He discovered that in Spanish the word, tonto, means foolish.
In other words, the Lone Ranger rode around calling his sidekick "foolish".
Cosby went further to state the he continued his research on the character Tonto's nickname for the Lone Ranger.
Tonto called the Lone Ranger "Kemo Sabe".
He said that he spoke to many people of Hispanic and Native American descent and none ever knew what kemo sabe meant.
Finally, one day Dr.
Cosby spoke with a Cuban man who stated that kemo sabe sounded close to the Spanish "que no sabe", or "he who knows nothing".
So, come to imagine that in the many adventures that the Lone Ranger and Tonto; they were calling each other "foolish" and "he who knows nothing".
This brings to mind the metaphor of the blind leading the blind "What does this have to do with your home based business sales", you wonder.
Well, if you are blindly following your sponsor by using ancient and inefficient methods to build your business your relationship with your sponsor is similar to that of the Lone Ranger and Tonto.
Just like the Lone Ranger and Tonto you care about each other and you will follow each other through thick and thin.
Most likely your sponsor for your home based business is a family member, friend, or co- worker.
Making money on the side just by talking to a few people sounds like an easy way to earn some extra income.
Eventually you may even be able to fire your boss and work your business full time.
And if all goes well, in the near future you will be able to retire rich and young.
But as time progresses and you have depleted your warm market (family, friends, and co- workers).
The money is not coming in as quickly as you thought it would.
Now you may be starting to at look your sponsor in a different way.
The funny part about it is your sponsor has begun to look at you differently also.
Each of you were taught the "slow and painful method of getting nowhere fast" to grow your business.
Many entering the home based business arena are deceived with these old fashioned methods to build your home based business.
These methods do not increase sales of your home- based business.
Outdated methods do not bring rapid and simple results that can be tested and proven quickly.
The Lone Ranger in your life (your sponsor) may be leading you down the path of the foolish (Tonto) because he knows nothing (que no sabe) about growing a business in the new millennium.
Sales of your home based business opportunity can be easy and enjoyable.
The long steep path to riches of the past is no longer necessary.
If you are presently reading this article then you have obviously decided to follow after your own dreams and make sales in your home based business.
