Ideal Network Founder Darlene Sartore shares more information about Urantia Papers 44. Peter Mingils adds some of his experience.
The Urantia Book, initially disseminated in 1955 under the auspices of the Urantia Foundation, constitutes an expansive 2,097-page treatise amalgamating spiritual exegesis and cosmological exposition, ostensibly imparted as a revelation from preternatural entities. Promulgated and curated by TruthBook.org, this voluminous work is segmented into four discrete sections, which collectively elucidate the essence of the divine, the architectonic configuration of the cosmos, the historical chronicle of Earth—denominated herein as “Urantia”—and an exhaustive hagiography of Jesus Christ. Its articulated telos is the synthesis of empirical science, philosophical inquiry, and religious doctrine into an integrative paradigm delineating humanity’s locus within an immense, populated universe.
The inaugural section, “The Central and Superuniverses,” delineates an intricate taxonomy of celestial intelligences and the structural dynamics of a grandiose cosmos, radiating from a paradigmatic Paradise Isle, the abode of the Universal Father—conceived as the infinite progenitor deity. The subsequent division, “The Local Universe,” narrows its purview to our proximate cosmic domain, elucidating its governance under a Creator Son and the ontogenetic ascent of sentient life across inhabited spheres. The tertiary segment, “The History of Urantia,” meticulously traces Earth’s lithospheric, biotic, and numinous evolution, encompassing the advent of Adam and Eve as genetic enhancers and the subsequent abrogation of their mandate. The culminating fourth part, “The Life and Teachings of Jesus,” extends across over 700 pages, proffering a granular, anthropocentric portrayal of Jesus’ terrestrial sojourn—transcending canonical Gospel narratives—while accentuating his doctrinal precepts and dual nature as both divine incarnation and mortal exemplar.
TruthBook.org champions The Urantia Book as a transfigurative instrument, furnishing unrestricted access to its corpus, pedagogical supplements, and edifying accoutrements such as aphorisms and iconography. The platform espouses a mission to cultivate an individualized faith in a benevolent deity, eschewing doctrinal rigidity in favor of experiential mysticism. Its provenance is ascribed to a consortium of superhuman intellects, mediated through an enigmatic human intermediary in early 20th-century Chicago, though particulars remain obfuscated, engendering both fascination and dubiety.
Detractors denounce its arcane tenor and unsubstantiated genesis as indicative of cultic tendencies, whereas adherents extol its profundity and systematic coherence. This 400-word précis merely intimates its breadth—envision it as a cosmological compendium fused with a spiritual chronicle, interweaving audacious assertions with fastidious minutiae. It demands rigorous engagement, yet for those impelled by existential profundities, it offers an arresting foray into the ineffable.

Building a successful network marketing business from home is a big dream for lots of people—it’s a shot at making good money, being your own boss, and creating a life you enjoy. But let’s be honest: it’s not as easy as signing up, posting a few links, and waiting for cash to pour in. It takes hard work, smart planning, and a willingness to improve yourself, not just your business. That’s where self-development training comes in—it’s like the secret ingredient that turns you from a newbie with big hopes into a confident, successful business owner. Here’s how focusing on yourself can help you build an awesome network marketing business, all from your own home.
- Mindset: The Foundation of Winning
Network marketing is more than selling stuff or getting people to join your team—it’s a mental challenge. You’ll face rejection, slow days, and doubts, especially working alone at home without a regular office vibe. Self-development training builds a tough mindset to handle all that.
With things like books (like The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle) or podcasts, you learn to think positively instead of worrying about what’s missing. Rejection stops feeling like a loss and starts feeling like progress toward a “yes.” This keeps you going even when no one’s replying to your messages or your team isn’t growing. It’s about controlling what you can: your effort and attitude. - Confidence: Your Superpower
The best network marketers seem super confident—and that’s no accident. Self-development, like practicing speaking or picturing success, helps you feel strong. When you believe in yourself, others will too, and that’s key when your personality is your business.
Think about a video call with someone who might join your team. If you’re nervous or unsure, they’ll notice and back off. But if you’ve built confidence—maybe from a book like How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie—you’ll sound clear and sure. Confidence pulls in customers and team members, and self-development helps you get there. - Communication Skills: Making Connections
This business is all about relationships—you’re selling trust and a dream, not just products. Self-development sharpens how you talk and listen, making you great at connecting with people.
At home, you’re using social media or calls to reach out. Learning to write a good message or ask smart questions—like “What do you want that you’re not getting now?” instead of “Join my team?”—builds trust. It’s about being real and caring, which keeps customers and teammates around. - Time Management: Getting Stuff Done
Working from home is cool until distractions like chores or TV mess you up. Self-development teaches tricks—like using Atomic Habits by James Clear—to manage your time better.
In network marketing, you do everything: selling, recruiting, training. Without a plan, you’ll waste time. Self-development shows you how to focus on big wins (like calling leads) instead of small stuff (like tweaking your bio endlessly). You’ll set schedules and stick to them, even in your living room. - Leadership: Building a Strong Team
Your business really grows when you have a team, but you can’t just sign people up and leave them. You’ve got to lead. Self-development gives you skills like understanding people and setting goals to make your team awesome.
Good leaders inspire, not just boss people around. You show your team how to work hard and stay positive, and soon they’re growing the business too. That’s when you go from a small gig to something big. - Adaptability: Keeping Up with Changes
Network marketing changes fast—think new social media rules or customer trends. Self-development keeps you flexible by teaching you to see challenges as chances to learn.
If something stops working, like messaging people, you’ll try new stuff—like videos—without freaking out. Staying open and curious keeps you ahead of others who don’t change. - Personal Branding: Standing Out
People don’t just buy your product—they buy you. Self-development helps you figure out your story—like why you love this business—and share it in a way that clicks with people.
Maybe you’re a parent who wanted more time at home, or you ditched a boring job. Sharing that in posts or talks makes you real and memorable, which is huge when you’re competing with big companies. - Overcoming Fear: Taking Big Steps
Fear—of messing up or being judged—can stop you cold. Self-development, like writing down thoughts or listening to Brene Brown, helps you push past it.
It might mean doing your first live video or asking someone big to join. Each brave move gets easier, and your business grows as you go.
The Bottom Line
Self-development isn’t extra—it’s a must for a home-based network marketing business. It makes you tougher, more confident, and better at everything you need to succeed. You could get by without it, but why just get by when you could rock it?
Start easy: grab a book, try a podcast, or take a class. Work on yourself as much as your business. The cool thing about network marketing is it’s all about you—and the more you grow, the bigger your business gets. From your home, you can build something amazing, and self-development is how you make it happen.
