Empower Network | Is
Someone With Crab Mentality
Keeping You From Success?
Empower Network
Empower Network and The Crab
Mentality
Kind of an interesting, yet disturbing story…
Recently, I arrived in Miami for a leaders retreat where myself
and a dozen other top income earners in Empower Network
met to mastermind.
Our “offices” for the weekend included a first class 5 star hotel,
a luxury yacht & a designer mansion.
Here’s the view from our Miami suite (click the images to see
the entire set)
Note: You must be logged into facebook to view the entire

But let me tell you… there have been quite a few obstacles along
the way.
One that I can relate with – just earlier this week, we received
an email from a concerned teammate who was having trouble
coping with unsupportive loved ones who felt she was wasting
her time “messing around with all this internet stuff.”
Her concerns brought to mind a story that I once heard about
20 crabs in a bucket, also known as “crab mentality.”
This way of thinking is best described by the phrase “if I can’t
have it… neither can you.”
The metaphor refers to a pot of crabs.
Individually, the crabs could easily escape from the pot, but
instead, they grab at each other in a useless “king of the hill”
competition, which prevents any of them from escaping &
ensures their collective demise.

The analogy in human behavior is that members of a group
will attempt to “pull down” any member who achieves success
beyond the others, out of envy or competitive feelings.
Many times, those who are pulling us down don’t even realize
the reasons for their actions.
In fact, truly “Getting It” and understanding your potential in
this industry is often easily understood by 12 and 14 year olds…
Yet for some odd reason, adults have a hard time grasping the
concept.
Unfortunately, many of our peers have been conditioned
throughout their life to believe that playing it safe, and getting
a dreadfully boring J.O.B. is the only way to success. Yet even
a 14-year-old child can see the clear benefits of owning your
own business rather than building someone else’s empire via
a J.O.B.
Here’s a GREAT (short) article that proves how adults can
easily miss the boat, when they allow their ignorance to guide
them.
How To Conquer The Crab Mentality
Mindset
I’ll be honest with you, my first 6 months in this business were
pretty rough.
I was laughed at, humiliated, & there were plenty of times that
I felt like giving up as a result of the “crabs” trying to pull me
down.
It was in these tough times that I had a decision to make. I
could give up & settle for mediocrity, or continue to fight my
way out of the pot.
Now, as I look back from our mastermind suite in Miami,
hanging out with the industry’s top income earners, I’d say that
going my own way & not allowing the “crabs” to influence my
decisions was by far the right choice to make.
If you ever felt that others around you (or even you) have had
the “crab mentality”, let me ask you – isn’t it time to claw your
way out of the pot, releasing yourself from the limiting beliefs
of others that will surely keep you from your dreams?
Isn’t it time to start setting into motion the decisions that will
shape your destiny?
From the beaches of the world, we look forward to you joining
us on our next adventure.
To your limitless potential,
Jon Mroz
PS – It’s funny… now that I’ve made it out of the pot, the
same crabs that were trying to pull me down are now asking
for instructions on how to get out.
Right now, you have the opportunity to join us & pick up
all of the same marketing strategies that enabled me to earn
$650,000 in the last 18 months, & over $150,000 in the last
3 months alone.
