			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why complicate things when we don&#8217;t need to?  MLM is not a complicated business model.  Sarah Thompson breaks it down to its 5 simple components for us below.<span id="more-442"></span></p>
<p><em>MLM is …</p>
<p>People are always telling me that they want to, need to develop a home based business , and their choice is to build a network marketing business.</p>
<p>I always answer the same way -, so that folks have a clear understanding of what is required to build a successful MLM or Network Marketing business.</p>
<p>I explain that ALL of the Professional (aka successful) Network Marketers understand that MLM is ……</p>
<p>A self-development program (with a pay plan attached)</p>
<p>A Relationship not a selling business.</p>
<p>A Product referral program. (sponsoring)</p>
<p>A Product Auto ship business.</p>
<p>A Product (personal) use business.</p>
<p>Multilevel marketing started with Mytinger’s and Casselberry’s new marketing plan for the Nutrilite company circa 1945. They developed a three-pronged approach.. Use the products, share the products, and sponsor the folks who like the products.</p>
<p>Richard Dennis, one of the folk I respect said “If your not getting what you want out of your MLM , check what you are putting into IT”</p>
<p>My advice to you is decide whether or not you want to build your business.</p>
<p>If yes develop a plan to actively, consistently and with persistence do all five (5) action items several times each week.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I need to come back to this list that I posted in December because I NEED TO READ IT OUT LOUD and BELIEVE IT and I WANT YOU to BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, TOO!<span id="more-435"></span></p>
<p>Here is a list that will get you started thinking about what You Need to be<br />
Successful in Your Business in 2011:<br />
1. You MUST BELIEVE that YOU DESERVE SUCCESS.<br />
2. You MUST BE CONFIDENT that FULFILLING YOUR PURPOSE in life<br />
WILL CREATE SUCCESS.<br />
3. You MUST HAVE A MASTERMIND of like-minded people, a TEAM of<br />
SUCCESSFUL MENTORS.<br />
4. You MUST USE the Product, RECOMMEND the Product and SPONSOR.<br />
5. You MUST remain FOCUSED on the DAILY TASKS that build, even the<br />
menial, repetitive, Slight Edge, tasks that are Easy to Do and Easy Not to Do!<br />
6.  You MUST be READY to RECEIVE SUCCESS.<br />
7.  You MUST have CLARITY &#8211; What DO YOU Want? What is YOUR WHY?</p>
<p>Do Not Sabotage Yourself by thinking that you do not deserve success!</p>
<p>Often times well meaning people in our lives tell us that good things will never happen for us. Maybe they don’t want to see us expect so much so that we will not be disappointed. However, if we don’t dream, it will never happen. If we expect poverty, that is what we will get. On the other side of the coin, if we expect prosperity, that is what we will get.  “We have not because we ask not,”  James says in the Bible, Or we “ask amiss,” seeking only our own pleasure not thinking of God’s plan or of others. We will be successful when we help enough others to be successful.</p>
<p>Most people have heard that ‘God Doesn’t Make Any Junk!’  God made us “in His Image” (Genesis), therefore we are deserving of An Abundant Life!</p>
<p>An Abundant Life does not mean that we will all be millionaires. Success is not being rich in an abundance of material things. In the Disney Movie, ‘The Happiest Millionaire’, the millionaire was a giving, caring man who was very happy with his life.   He was not a ‘Scrooge’, hoarding his wealth, but shared his wealth of advice as well as his time and resources.</p>
<p>Happiness is Success. You are successful when you are happy!</p>
<p>Happiness comes from within.</p>
<p>Can you look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that you love yourself?<br />
If you can, that is wonderful. If not, repeat it often until you believe it!</p>
<p>Find someone you can believe in and that believes in you.  We have a team that believes in each other and you may be a part of this team.  Everybody needs a home and to be accepted. Check out this e book and become a part of our team.  All it costs is your time.</p>

<p>To your success,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I started the new year with the book on 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastination and Get More Done in Less Time, called, Eat That Frog, by Brian Tracy. <span id="more-407"></span>Then I fought my old programming that didn’t want to give up, roll over and play dead. Maybe it was just teasing me into thinking I had conquered procrastination, but was just ‘playing possum.’  Nonetheless, I found myself in a battle for which voice of reasoning I was going to listen to!</p>
<p>I believe in everyone else, but when it comes to ME, I don’t have faith the size of a speck of dust.</p>
<p>I listened to a good friend and mentor of mine who said he would believe in me until I believed in myself and he had some great advice, “Keep the Positive Emotions in the forefront of your mind at all times and stop all negative emotions from entering.”</p>
<p>Positive Emotions                                    Negative Emotions<br />
1. Desire                                                            1. Fear<br />
2. Faith                                                               2. Jealousy<br />
3. Love                                                                   3. Hatred<br />
4. Sex                                                                     4. Revenge<br />
5. Enthusiasm                                 5. Greed<br />
6. Romance                                                        6. Superstition<br />
7. hope                                                              7. Anger<br />
8. Prosperity                                                      8. Lack</p>
<p>Find a ‘Perfect Day’ experience that you have had and go there in your mind to help you block out the negative influence around you that you can not walk away from.</p>
<p>He used the word picture of someone being sick, coughing or throwing up on you. You would not<br />
allow them to continue but would put something between them and yourself.</p>
<p>You can put something between them and yourself by going to your ‘Perfect Day’ in your mind.<br />
Then just smile and enjoy the memory without the ‘puke’ of negativity getting you down.</p>
<p>So, as we enter this uncharted territory of 2011, think about these words from another mentor of mine&#8230;</p>
<p>THIS IS YOUR LIFE.<br />
Do what you LOVE and do it OFTEN.<br />
If you don’t like something, CHANGE IT.<br />
If you don’t like your job, QUIT.<br />
If you don’t have enough time, QUIT WATCHING TV.<br />
If you are looking for the love of your life, STOP.<br />
They will be waiting for you when you START DOING THINGS YOU LOVE.<br />
STOP OVER ANALYZING. LIFE IS SIMPLE.<br />
All emotions are beautiful.<br />
When you eat, APPRECIATE EVERY LAST BITE.<br />
Open your MIND, ARMS, and HEART to New Things and People,<br />
We are united in our DIFFERENCES.<br />
Ask the NEXT PERSON you see what their PASSION is,<br />
and SHARE your INSPIRING DREAM with them.<br />
TRAVEL OFTEN; getting lost will help you FIND YOURSELF.<br />
Some OPPORTUNITIES only come once, SEIZE THEM.<br />
Life is about the PEOPLE you meet and the things you CREATE WITH THEM.<br />
So go out and START CREATING.<br />
LIVE YOUR DREAM AND WEAR YOUR PASSION.<br />
LIFE IS SHORT.</p>
<p>Inspiration Zone by Art Jonak</p>
<p>Live in the PRESENT for that is all you have the ability to do anything about.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the holiday season upon us, it is a great time reflect on the past year and move forward with goals for the new year.<span id="more-401"></span> Of course, you cannot ‘eat the elephant’ all in one setting, so plan goals for a smaller period of time first and put together over the whole year, it will be worth it!</p>
<p>Most people do best with 90 day runs or goals for a three month (quarter of the year) period.  Set your goals for 90 days and the readjust and set them for the next 90 days until&#8230;. it never has to stop until you do. Each 90 day run will encourage the next 90 days and build on the last 90 days.</p>
<p>Remember, not to use excuses to slow you down.  Life is going to happen in 2011, just like it did in 2010.  This year has held it’s trials and blessings for many people including me. I often used life happenings as an excuse until someone asked me, “Is this your business or a hobby?”</p>
<p>Why is it that we treat a home based business like a hobby and not with the priority and commitment that a business should hold for us? (You have to answer that one for yourself.)</p>
<p>Does your business take precedence over the laundry, dishes, housecleaning, etc? I don’t mean that these things are not to be done when it is time to do them, just work them into your business schedule! not the other way around.</p>
<p>Here is a list that will get you started thinking about what You Need to be Successful in Your Business in 2011:</p>
<p>1. You MUST BELIEVE that YOU DESERVE SUCCESS.<br />
2. You MUST BE CONFIDENT that FULFILLING YOUR PURPOSE in life WILL CREATE SUCCESS.<br />
3. You MUST HAVE A MASTERMIND of like-minded people, a TEAM of SUCCESSFUL MENTORS.<br />
4. You MUST USE the Product, RECOMMEND the Product and SPONSOR Partners.<br />
5. You MUST remain FOCUSED on the DAILY TASKS that build, even the menial, repetitive, Slight Edge, tasks that are Easy to Do and Easy Not to Do!<br />
6.  You MUST be READY to RECEIVE SUCCESS.<br />
7.  You MUST have CLARITY &#8211; What DO YOU Want? What is YOUR WHY?<br />
The list could go on and it does&#8230;</p>
<p>Be sure to spend TIME on YOURSELF &#8211; Develop your mind and purpose first, then you will BE ABLE to LEAD others become Successful, also.</p>
<p>I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and The BEST EVER NEW YEAR!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Throughout history the passing on of wisdom and practical<br />
knowledge has been done by mentoring from parents, grand<br />
parents, teachers, leaders, coaches, coworkers and friends.<span id="more-396"></span></p>
<p>The word goes back to Homer&#8217;s Odyssey a<br />
story which tells how before leaving on his long journey,<br />
Odysseus asked a close friend to watch over and guide<br />
his son. That friend&#8217;s name was Mentor.</p>
<p>Some observations from the book by Marc Freedman,<br />
&#8220;The Kindness of Strangers&#8221;:</p>
<p>The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Mentors</p>
<p>1. Listening:</p>
<p>It is the only way mentors can understand what people<br />
are up against and where opportunities for developing<br />
the relationship can be discovered.</p>
<p>2. Building a relationship:</p>
<p>In the hurry to make a difference, mentors can forget to<br />
take time to build a relationship and establish a firm<br />
connection. this means carefully cultivating trust..It<br />
means being patient. Many people will test mentors<br />
to see if they are for real.</p>
<p>3. Respecting boundaries:</p>
<p>When mentors ask people personal questions before<br />
a solid relationship has been established, the most<br />
common response is silence. People will clam up.<br />
Mentors who do not respect their mentees&#8217; needs<br />
for privacy are often quick to alienate them.</p>
<p>4. Being sensitive to differences:</p>
<p>It is necessary to realize that mentors and those<br />
they work with come from different worlds, a reality<br />
even for mentors who have grown up disadvantaged.<br />
This means being aware of the embarrassment a<br />
person might feel about being poor.</p>
<p>5. Providing support and challenges:</p>
<p>Successful mentors are consistently there for people,<br />
delivering a sustained message &#8216;You are important&#8221;<br />
when problems arise, effective mentors resist telling<br />
people what to do and instead work with them to<br />
address the problems. These mentors are eventually<br />
able to strike a balance between supporting and<br />
challenging both nurturing people and pushing them<br />
toward their goals.</p>
<p>6. Acknowledging reciprocity:</p>
<p>While mentors often have to provide the initiative<br />
early in the relationship as trust is being established,<br />
mentoring is a two-way street. Growth, benefits and<br />
struggles are present on both sides, and mentors<br />
who are able to convey they are there for mutual<br />
exchange, not just solve problems stand the greatest<br />
chance of making a solid connection.</p>
<p>7. Being realistic:</p>
<p>Few mentors turn lives around, but mentors who help<br />
people move toward achievable goals can make a real<br />
contribution. Often this means having thick skin,<br />
tolerating unreturned phone calls, accepting the<br />
cultural gaps that must be bridged. In the end, few<br />
virtues in mentoring rival on growing commitment and<br />
genuine caring.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>You are either growing better at what you are doing or losing more  than you have.</div>
<div>You are never standing still. <strong>Take  responsibility.<span id="more-398"></span></strong> Stop blaming everyone else.</div>
<div>Are you on  an upward curve or a downward curve in your life?</p>
<p>A lifetime  can be wasted by the way you THINK about yourself.</p>
</div>
<div>A true mental  cleanse is worth more than physical exam.</div>
<div>We need to cleanse our minds  of chatter that does not empower us.</div>
<div>Everyone needs that  self-confidence that comes from within yourself.</div>
<div>You have the  resources, you just have draw them out and use them.</div>
<div>You need  to be positive and grateful! Believe in yourself!</p>
<p>If you have ever read a  self-improvement book, you will possibly understand why it is so  important.</p>
</div>
<div>If you have not read any self-help books,</div>
<div>let me suggest one to start with.</div>
<div>Download this F*REE  e-book called  &#8220;Success in Ten Steps&#8221;</div>
<div>by Michael Dlouhy.  This book has changed my life forever!</p>
</div>
<p>http://ddengler2.bigmlmlies.com/?mad=53157</p>
<p>&#8220;Sticks and Stones may break my bones, but Words will never hurt me!&#8221;</p>
<p>This is not true!</p>
<div>We  are emotionally effected by what people say and how they respond to us.</div>
<div>We can hurt someone deeply with our words or actions,</div>
<div>but within your  own mind, what you think, what you believe,</div>
<div>affects you more than what  others say or do.</div>
<div>It affects you for good or it affects you negatively.</div>
<div>When  you do not feel good about yourself</div>
<div>it makes you want to hide from everyone,</div>
<div>even your friends.</div>
<div>How will you end up if you continue with  that mindset?</div>
<div>Cleansing your mind from the negative influences</div>
<div>will  clean your mind like water cleanses the body.</div>
<div>Go to this website and get another F*REE ebook called Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.</div>
<div>www.30daycleanse.com</div>
<div>Be prepared for your life to CHANGE!</div>
<p>Believe in your dreams, Create your future<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;You are now living each moment to the fullest. You enjoy each moment, each person, each place. You learn from the past, plan for the future, but live in the here and now. Your future is brighter because you make the most of each day.&#8221; &#8212; Bob Griswold<span id="more-381"></span></p>
<p>I decided to start this week&#8217;s article with a quote from Bob Griswold as it expresses how we are to focus on today, the present. We cannot change yesterday. Tomorrow is not here. The only actions or thoughts that we have any control over are right now.</p>
<p>How did you start your day? Did you wake up glad to see a new day? Did you have plans for the day that included your passion or purpose in life?</p>
<p>Are you thankful for everything in your life right now? Being grateful has a lot to do with your success. Putting a smile on your face and smiling at others will also increase your success.</p>
<p>This Thanksgiving, and throughout the rest of the year, plan to make 2011 the best year ever!</p>
<p>Live in the &#8216;NOW&#8217;</p>
<p>Be Grateful</p>
<p>Smile</p>
<p>Plan to be Successful</p>
<p>Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let me share part 2 of the answer that Sharon Lechter and Greg Reid give in their book,  Three Feet from Gold.</p>
<p>You already have the  talent and  ability to create great suc-</p>
<p>cess in your life. The Success Equation will show you how:</p>
<p>[(P+T) x A x A) +F = Your Success Equation</p>
<p>ASSOCIATION</p>
<p>Association  refers to the  people and  organizations  you  surround yourself with. Think of the five people you spend the most time with.</p>
<p>Do they support you?  Are they successful? Do you need to change your associations?</p>
<p>List the names of five successful people that you personally know.</p>
<p>Describe what makes these people winners in your opinion.</p>
<p>Make another list.  What  associations  could  help  you  apply  your talent  and  your  passion?</p>
<p>Think of  groups of  people,  businesses,  age  groups,  sports  that could benefit or assist you in pursuing your passion and talent.</p>
<p>Now  search  the web  for  your  passion  and  talent.  What did your internet  search  turn  up?  If  you  are  overwhelmed  by  the  search results,  start  narrowing  your  focus  until  you  find  something  that intrigues you.  Any new ideas?</p>
<p>Look  at  the  list of  associations  you  listed  and  pick  one.   Make a  call  to  see  if  you  can  “be of service”  to that association.  Ask,  &#8220;How may I serve you?”</p>
<p>ACTION</p>
<p>Making a change requires taking action.  Are  you  really  committed to  improving  your  life, or are you  just  attracted to  the  possibility?</p>
<p>Look in the mirror: . . . for  things  to  change&#8230; you  must  change!!!</p>
<p>FAITH</p>
<p>This is often the toughest part of the equation to master. Having faith means believing in yourself and your idea  despite the obstacles you may encounter.</p>
<p>Remember &#8212; Take a  moment  to  remember the low points and the high points in your life.</p>
<p>Reflect &#8212;  How did those times impact you?   How did you respond?</p>
<p>Did you have support from your friends and family?</p>
<p>Recognize &#8212; Recognize that almost all successful people also have low points as well as the successes in their lives.  They  learn how to persevere and succeed through those low points.  You Can Too!</p>
<p>Acknowledge&#8211; Acknowledge that you can persevere and can find the right associations!</p>
<p>Act as if! &#8212; Have  the  faith  that  your  personal  Success  Equation will drive you to incredible success and start taking action every day toward that success.</p>
<p>Remember:</p>
<p>In order to plan a course for success, it helps to know where you are and how you got there.  There is a saying,  “Your life is the sum total of the decisions you have made.” Let’s review your past in order to create your future&#8230;</p>
<p>You will need to read the book, Three Feet From Gold, to get more details.<br />
It is Truth Wrapped in a Story.  I learned much from reading the book and am reading it again!</p>
<p>Don’t let your potential die.  Find your passion in life and pursue it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When this amazing master mind group was presented to me i didn&#8217;t even know what a master mind group was! Even though I didn&#8217;t know much about it I knew it was the answer to the prayers I had been sending up several times a day everyday.</p>
<p>I asked God to bring people in my life that believed in Him, people that would aid me in finding what I was missing. See I was going to church and reading the Bible and was still depressed I could feel myself spiraling further and further. When I attended church I still felt very strong that I was missing something, what I had no clue.</p>
<p>So I prayed and prayed to find &#8220;it&#8221; to know soon as it was in front of me that what ever &#8220;it&#8221; is, is what &#8220;He&#8221; was telling me was missing. It was amazing for me the first time my Mother showed me a video about DNA and the &#8220;ether&#8221; I knew with out a doubt in my mind that what they were sharing was real. My mind took over and was like watching a movie reel comparing what I was learning to what I know about the bible. Then she brought me on the 30-Day Mental Cleanse call, which is The Key to success. When I heard Micheal Doulhy talk I got so excited, I said to my Mother &#8220;This is it this is what I have been asking God for!!!&#8221; I felt &#8220;IT&#8221; I knew that what he was sharing was the truth I could feel it deep where it counts.</p>
<p>This blog is a mile stone in my journey, with this I over came one of the&#8221;fear&#8221; road blocks on my path of success. Join me in my journey of self development, success in network marketing, and life!</p>
<p>Thank you to my brilliant mentors I love all of you!</p>
