Innocence

Humorously, a lot of my blog content comes from my son Bronco. It's a blessed day today. It's amazing how a Father's Day can help me gain more perspective on life. Anyway, back to my point... My son wanted a cup of milk, so he tugged on the refrigerator door until it was open. He slyly grabbed the near empty gallon container of milk. He clumsily walked a couple of feet with both his sipper cup and milk container in each hand. I heard him open up the fridge, so before he got very far, I caught him before he exited the kitchen. I calmly said he couldn't pour the milk on his own. He then looked up at me with his unusually long eye lashes and asked me "Milk daddy, please". This kid has my heart strings. I appeased him and his sweet face. His sipper cup was full of lemonade, so I grabbed one of this small cups with the built in straws on the side. At this point I had explain to him why I had to get another cup. He didn't quite understand you don't mix milk and lemonade. Ha ha maybe I should have let him try it out. Well, as he began to drink his milk, he slowly started to blow into the built in straw on the side. It immediately amused him. :) one of my extreme joys is seeing Bronco gut laugh. Then all at once it occurred to me that because of his age, he rarely has a bad day. Sure there are moments even when he may be sad, start to cry, or get grumpy. He has innocence.

There you have it. I had my next article to write. Innocence. We have a lot to learn from our children. Their innocence allows them to forget, forgive, smile, and laugh. The simplest things can amuse them. My son was gut laughing when he heard himself blowing bubbles from his milk. His innocence allows him to not worry about bills. The innocence is almost a security blanket. You won't hear an innocent child worrying about the mortgage being paid. You won't see a child go weeks without speaking to his/her family. The love of an innocent child can be inevitably teach us all a very long, life lesson.

At a glance they will surprise you too. I was down in my man cave weeks ago. I was caught up with the TV when suddenly it occurred to me that Bronco was making noise up in the kitchen. I yelled up and said he should come down where I could see him. I heard some his little feet coming down the steps. Suddenly he comes down and to my surprise he has two Greek yogurts with two spoons as well. This made me smile that he not only was smart enough to get those things, but he was considerate enough to think of me too! He made sure that we both had a Greek yogurt each. Let's remember the innocence my friends! Let's love unconditionally. Forgive easily. Smile endlessly.

Double Trouble



The next story I’m about to share is neither embellished or fabricated. Listen up here, because I’m about to share a real story of one of my strangest twin experiences. Yes, you heard me right. I’m an identical twin. We were born at Fitz Simmons hospital in Aurora, Colorado. In fact, initially, they had called us Brown A & Brown B until our names were were officially given to us. Not that I’m bragging or boasting, but I was born first. My twin brother, Jeffrey, was born roughly 10 minutes later. Our parents gave me the name of Jared Arnold Brown, then my twin brother was named Jeffrey Alan Brown. Our names shortened both spelled out the word Jab. Casually, my twin has gone by Jeff most his life.






You know there have been far greater advantages to being an identical than negative disadvantages. I always had a friend to play with, a friend to confide in, a friend to support me. When were still kids we dressed alike in the same shirts & pants. In fact, if you look at or photos from out childhood or infancy, it’s hard for even me to distinguish me from my brother. Our voices are very similar as well as are our mannerisms. Very frequently when we answered our land line telephone, our friends or family got us confused on account of our similar voices. We had grown so close that we sometimes finished each other’s sentences. There was a period of time when developed our own little language based on pig Latin.






The strangest twin experience I have personally experienced, with all honesty, is when I had slowly developed a very painful toothache in a certain spot on the inside of my mouth. I had brushed it off for days until I could hardly stand the pain. It was at that point where I put my pride on a shelf and vocally declared to my Mom that my mouth was in some pain. She looked at me with growing nervousness and made me an appointment with a local dentist. When the day came to see our dentist, my Mom made an appointment for Jeff, my twin, to see the dentist too. Due largely to my to my toothache causing me pain, I was first to see the dentist. I nervously hopped up onto the chair. My Mom assured me I was going to be fine, then I got myself as comfortable as possible. Next the dentist thoroughly checked my mouth to find the cavity. He scanned my whole mouth for a cavity, but very oddly he found none. I looked at the dentist with near disapproval. Jeff had his turn now. Jeff sat down and became prepared to have his mouth checked as well. It is was at this very moment, I witnessed the most mysterious twin phenomenon. The dentist surprisingly found a cavity in Jeff’s mouth, where I had a toothache in my. When the dentist filled his cavity, my toothache was sincerely gone. In other words; I had felted the toothache or pain for my twin brother. I had shared his pain! when his cavity was filled , my toothache was truthfully gone.






In life we go through our fair share of pain. I know I may not be able have your pains, but I know I can give some support and condolence. Let’s work together.


Meadow Fresh Farms

This is a story of Meadow Fresh Farms. My father, Dale Brown, was one of the founders of this MLM company. It was more or less one of the pioneering MLM companies from the early 1980′s. My dad and his partner Dave Ashby started this multi level marketing company nearly all on their own. From my memory, the premise was to have healthy milk products in a dry form that once blended together, tasted like a virtual fresh dairy product. As a kid I remembered moving into a 5 story home on the hill of the city North Salt Lake. We enjoyed a high end house with an atrium my mother enjoyed as a plant loving person. As children, we each had our own bedroom with a ladder that led to fully carpeted loft. My dad had lofty dreams. He had ladders of creative ideas that lifted him to financial success. I am endeavoring down a similar path. I would like provide my family with stability. Despite this business having had some small vulnerabilities, my father had a great deal of passion and determination to build a legacy.

Why do people post with "Not MLM"?


I've Seen It over a hundred times. WHY do people post with "Not MLM" on the title of their post? Is it because they want to appeal to the demographic of people that have been burned by scams? Honestly, I'm at my wits end with trying to figure it out.

Let's talk about some possible marketing set backs that may likely happen when this verbiage is used.

The first reaction most network marketers will have is ...... Insulted. The majority of these posts come from Facebook Groups. Within these Facebook Groups are hundreds of different titled MLM based businesses. So, with the majority of these MLM based businesses posting their own ads, the first thing they will remember reading is NOT MLM? How can you blame them for feeling that way? This is their livelihood. This is their bread and butter.

The second thing that happens is the credibility, nearly immediately, is decimated. The reason this may be the case is when you magnify most companies that post this, they are in some way or another MLM based. Your whole marketing takes a huge hit. One of the most powerful things you do, in network marketing, is grow relationships. When you sow doubt, you reap weak relationships.

The third thing that may likely happen.. Is you get a following from people that don't have previous MLM experience. The ramifications can vary, but ultimately the attraction of NOT MLM wears off, then you may not get the entrepreneurship work ethic that you generally get from successful network marketers.

In my humble opinion, you're better off, using the strategy "MLM Scam with this company"? This way people will read to find out if it is found out that is a scam or not.

I'm very proud of my MLM Roots. My call to action is embrace the strengths of MLM based companies, not highlight the possible weakness. Don't hide from MLM, showcase it!
