Platinum One Destinations- Is it History in the Making?

Back from a weekend trip to Philadelphia I feel almost philosophical. I have to say that one of the greatest revelations that I had this weekend did not come from the seminar I attended but from the history entrenched in the city and from the people that I met there.

One of the things that my mind keeps jumping back to is Ben Franklin's grave site. Seeing the signs as I was walking there I imagined that it would be some elaborate shrine to one of the greatest men in history, but what I saw was a simple stone slab in a corner of the graveyard- nothing special. This brought about the thought that people like Benjamin Franklin- an entrepreneur, inventor, politician, and writer- existed not for themselves and the power they could create but for the ability to help others.

Are you one of those people? Why do you do your business? How do you live your life? Is it solely for what success that it will bring you or are you wanting that success so that you can assist others? I am happy to say that for the most part, the people that I have met within Platinum One Destinations and the Synergy Marketing Group are the people who really want to assist others. I think it would be silly to say that almost everyone does not see dollar signs when looking at the future of their business but it is even more then that. Most of us have a greater purpose and know that in assisting others to achieving their greatness we will begin to assist ourselves.

With Platinum One Destinations we are lucky to be able to offer such an incredible opportunity to people. A way to change their life, their path, and the way that they have been living. A way to make a story of their own and to create the future that they see for themselves. I think the hardest part of what we do is to really show people that this is a business and that they have to be focused, persistent, and move forward with determination.

Do you think that Ben Franklin gave up after the first try at his Franklin Stove? How about when he traveled all the way to Europe for work only to be abandoned when he got there? Do you think he ran across any opposition when drafting the Declaration of Independence?

Reading about him and seeing the historic sites where he and other great history makers had lived made me realize how much we take for granted our lives and what we have. Back then people were doers- you had to be or you didn't eat. There were no microwaves and drive thrus and people knew that they had to make it work.

Be one of those people when you are building your business. Be persistent. Don't give up. Know that you may be a part of history in the making with a travel company that will change the future of online travel with products like Nettrav and the P1D memberships.. But do it for a greater good- not just for what you can get out of it.

One of the people I met this weekend said to me- "you have to love what you do and when you love it that is when you make it. You live it, and breath it, but it is not work because you love it- it is your life." That is so true- potential business partners can tell if they are just a check mark or one more call that is done. Don't treat your business as a chore. Treat it with the respect that it deserves and your Platinum One Destinations business will thrive.

I think it is only fitting to end with a quote by Benjamin Franklin- "Energy and persistence conquer all things."
