The Lumpy Carpet!!!

The “Home Meeting” is tomorrow night at 7pm…..

Sally, the stay-at-home Mom……

And up and coming home business Dynamo……

Was hosting a Company “Home Biz Op Meeting”…..

She has recruited some friends…..

Invited some family and friends over……

Other Members with prospects are coming.....

Her ”Manager” and HIS ”Manager”…..

Were going to do the ”Presentation”……

They asked Sally to……

”Give a short ‘background’ presentation…..”

“To ‘tell’ people about YOU!!!”


Sally had been trying to work on that….

In the meantime, she had to “clean-up”….

Make her living room look outstanding……

There was something wrong with the carpet….

She couldn’t put her finger on it…..

She called a “Carpet Cleaner” to come over….

It is 10 am, her doorbell rings…..

”Right on time! Just as he promised!!”

Sally realized, as she looked at the clock…..

Opening the door, she saw a man wear a casual uniform….

Company logo on one side of his uniform shirt……

”Good morning, I am ‘Ray’ and I am here to help YOU!!”

”Ray”, was the name embroidered on his shirt..…

Sally replied, ”C’mon in, let me show you the room!”

Ray took a look at the room, ”Oh MY!!”, he exclaimed…..

”I’ll be right back!!” as he turned around and went back to his van…..

A few moments later, he came back in……

Carrying a LARGE vacuum cleaner……

With LOTS of hose attachments……

He put a few of the attachments together….

”Ma’am…, Ray said……

”Your carpet is CLEAN……”

“For some reason, it is lumpy…..”

“Allow me to ‘get out’ the lumps!!”


He stuck the end of the hose under the carpet……

Sliding it under further……

He turned on the machine……

whirrrrrr…..whirrrrr……whirrrrrr……

Was the noise of the machine……

A “lump” started moving……..

whirrrrrr…..whirrrrr……THWUMP….

He left the machine on as he pulled out the hose…..

On the end of the hose was a “clump” of stuff……

He turned off the machine……

Removed the “clump”, setting it aside…….

Stuck the hose back under the carpet……

And turned it back on……

whirrrrrr……whirrrrr……THWUMP…..

One more clump……

Another clump……

Another clump……

MORE and MORE…….

Ray starting looking closer at the clumps…..

Each clump had something written on them…..

Things like……

”Didn’t finish college”

“Recovered Alcoholic”

“Dysfunctional family”

“Up and Down Weight Loss”

“Work Two Jobs To Pay Bills”


Ray is a very smart man……

He noticed the ”Home Biz Op” pamphlets…..

On the table in the center of the room……

And the “Company” boxes stacked in a front room…..

”Ma’am……may I call you Sally??”

She nodded your head…..

”Allow ME to give YOU some advice…..”

“To succeed in YOUR business……


Sally emphatically shook her head…..

Ray continued……

”YOU are trying to portray yourself……”

“As a SUCCESSFUL Business Owner…….”

“EVERY time you talk to people…..”

“About YOUR business, you are embarrassed…..”

“About YOUR PAST!!!!”


Sally’s head drooped, as she nodded “YES”……

Ray puts his hand on her shoulder and says……

”Everytime you START to say something…..”

“About your past, you SWEEP it under the rug….”

“May I give tell YOU something serious???”


Again….she nodded…….

”PEOPLE today are hurting……”

“The economy sucks, unemployment is rising……”

“New jobs are few and far between…….”

“People are LOOKING for an income source…..”

“The ‘Home Biz Op’ route looks easy…..”

“BUT……people are VERY hesitant…..”

“To let go of what little money they have……”

“With PEOPLE who ARE NOT REAL!!!”

“YOU……Sally, have been down the SAME paths…..”

“As the people YOU are reaching…….”

“They NEED to hear that YOU have…..”

“BEEN THERE…….AND DONE THAT!!!!”

“THEN…..they will follow YOU…..”

“Because YOU have overcome……”

“What THEY are going through……”

“Take YOURSELF off of the pedestal…..”

“And WALK beside them……”

“BE REAL…..”

“BE TRUE…..”

“BE YOURSELF….”

“BE AUTHENTIC…..”

“And the rest……..My Dear…..”

“Will become HISTORY!!!!”




Sally was awestruck……

But grateful for the words…..

From a ”Carpet Cleaner”……

As Ray was packing up his equipment…..

He said, ”May I invite YOU……”

“To a Community of People……”

“That are REAL, TRUE, and AUTHENTIC…..”

“Led by a former ‘truck driver’…….”

“And a former ‘overweight housewife’……”

“Where for EVERYBODY learns how to……”

“Change Your Mind….”

“Change Your Income….”

“Change Your Life!!!”

“It is over at The Million Mind March……”



“Free Open to the Public calls every Monday night…..”

“At 9:27pm, eastern…….”

“641-594-7000, passcode 600088#”


Sally asked Ray, ”How can I pay YOU????”

He said, ”Do as I told YOU……”

"This one is 'On ME'......this time....."

“Become REAL, TRUE, and AUTHENTIC…..”

“The next time I come back to vacuum YOUR past…..”

“From under the rug…….”

“You cannot AFFORD me then!!”




Sooooo…..to ALL of the Sally’s……

AND all of the Sam’s out there……

How LUMPY is YOUR carpet????

Stop sweeping your past under it……

Don’t make TROPHIES out of YOUR past……

Just DON’T hide it……

People NEED to know where YOU have been…..

And WHERE you can TAKE them…..



Some people have told ME, lately……

That I have become SOOOOOO real……

It is flowing like Niagara Falls!!!
