A business of service
There are several roads to success that any business owner can pursue, yet in all the successful businesses I have coached and most that I have studied, one attitude has permeated the consciousness of the owners. That attitude is service. How can we use this attitude of service to propel our own success with Humanity Unites Brilliance?
Marianne Williamson in a return to Love states:
“Success means we go to sleep at night knowing that our talents and abilities were used in a way that served others.”
Let’s take a look at some of the ways your HUB business can be of service
On the surface service is easy to see in our program partners in such places as Africa and South America. Providing food, water for the worlds neediest is obviously being of service, but look at some deeper more personal ways our businesses are of service.
Service to individuals
Your friends and families may be looking to make some extra income, maybe replace their regular job with a work from home opportunity, maybe they are looking to help the world and have a greater sense of accomplishment. By exposing HUB to your friends and families you are giving them an opportunity to explore new ideas that they may not get a chance to see otherwise. By giving them an extra income stream or a work from home opportunity, your service expands to impact their families and friends. Your service is compounded by your friend’s efforts to touch others in their circle of influence. Just as we have learned about exponential giving we see that by telling others about our HUB businesses we are practicing exponential service.
Another aspect of service to your friends and families is having them as part of your team instead of signing up under someone else. People everywhere are getting exposed to Humanity Unites Brilliance. Many of the people you know will sign up. At first glance it may seem inconsequential of who someone signs up with, but ask around to people outside our team and see their experience. Our team is active and supportive and assisting people with their success. Many people have joined Hub and have little or no support from their up line and are left alone to manage their own success. Being on your own may be fine for some but for most people it makes success rare. So by talking with your sphere of influence and having them on your team as part of our team, you place them in a family of like minded, caring people dedicated to their success.
Service to non profits
As our home based businesses start to blossom and we include service to individuals such as friends and family, we see that by exposing small nonprofits into our matrix we are being of service to community programs in need of a steady stream of funding. We can emulate HUB corporate humanitarian work in our own back yard. Our successful team exposes churches, private not for profit schools, women’s shelters and recovery facilities, etc. on a regular basis. Small nonprofits funding allows them to offer more service to their clients and congregation. Nonprofits spend much of their time and energy in trying to remain funded. Grant writing keeps them consumed in paper work and requesting money from congregations and foundations is uncertain and time consuming. Imagine offering organizations in your community an opportunity to receive an ongoing consistent extra stream of income. This income flow allows them to do what they do best – be of service to their congregations and others in need. When approached with the idea of extra income most the nonprofits we have talked with have allowed us to be of service to them.
Service to your team
As you work your home based business and develop funding for nonprofits, your matrix grows and your team begins to develop. Our teams need our service also. We become centers of information, tools and motivation in order for them to grow their business. Being of service to our team does not mean we do everything for them, it is more that we are a mentor. Their willingness to be of service to their team is important aspect of building their successful team. Helping them stage talks and gatherings, putting them in touch with marketing and operational systems, helping them convert their prospects are ways we can service our teams. We understand that everyone joining our team may not be willing to accept our service but we make it available nun the less.
Service to your self
Service to oneself is an important part of HUB. Surprisingly we have seen many people join hub only to get hung up on the idea that they are going to make money. This attitude of financial deprivation goes completely against the HUB principles. We are here to create exponential giving. I have heard several times from the Humanity Unites Brilliance founders, that in order to truly give we must be ready to truly receive. So money becomes one of the ways we are of service to ourselves. What we do with our commission checks is completely up to us. We could tithe all of our income to our favorite charity or create a personal lifestyle that we have always dreamed of one is not more spiritual than the other.
Service to ourselves also includes our personal, humanitarian, and business growth. As we experience the HUB community we are exposed to lots of new ideas, techniques, and tools that helps us expand during our journey on this planet. A sense of accomplishment may come over us as this business grows. We may become hugely successful and well rounded as human being and why would that be important? So we can be of greater service to all that we come in contact with including ourselves.

Wise to Consider Your Whys!
As you start your new home based business, the emotional adrenalin runs high and the possibilities for your business and your life seem unlimited. In the first few days or weeks the potential of this new endeavor can carry you a long way. Usually it does not take long for reality to set in. Our honeymoon with our business can end abruptly, being replaced with apathy or even fear and what was flying enthusiasm is dislodged with drudgery. Humanity Unites Brilliance is a beautiful work at home business, humanitarian model that draws many different people for many different reasons. Getting clear on your reasons for joining and wanting to participate in HUB is a great way to keep your enthusiasm up and make this the best home based business opportunity for you.
I have used one particular tool through the years to keep the energy high and avoid the downturn in momentum. By asking and careful answering of a couple simple question you can begin to establish a defense to early onset apathy. While thinking about the answers to these few questions is OK, the real power is in writing out your answers as completely as possible. Be specific and use truthful answers, if you are here for the money, don’t think of it as unspiritual or less valuable than other reasons you may think of. The more abundant you are in Humanity Unites Brilliance, the more people will be attracting and ultimately doing more humanitarian work. OK let’s get started
The first question is
“What is that you saw and heard when you were exposed to HUB that you found the most interesting?”
Do some journaling about this to get down to the real items that touched you. Was it the idea of making some extra cash or maybe the thought of replacing your job and working from home? Maybe the humanitarian aspect of HUB rang true to you. The aspect of funding a not for profit company might have drawn you, maybe some combination of two or three main ideas.
The next question for your consideration is:
How does what I love about HUB serve my life?
Once again journal to get to this answer. Possibly the extra money you make will be used to travel or pay off old bills. Maybe working from home gives you more time with your family. The humanitarian idea of feeding the neediest children of the world may give you the sense of service to the plane. The combination of several ideas is the usually the outcome. What impact will participating in HUB have on your life and sense of self?
Final question is:
What do I want to be the result of joining HUB a year from today and why will I continue to work to reach my goals? This is the distillation of the first two questions.
Journal on these questions then start to condense your rambling into the whys of being in business. Get a few sentences to a couple of paragraphs that can be reviewed on a regular basis as a reminder of your true intentions in those times of doubt or low energy. The whys of your HUB business is a wise thing to give some time to.
