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! Continue reading »

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. Continue reading »

Decision’s can be hard to make but when one begins to
become a critical thinker it seems to come automatically.
I like the way that Napolean Hill puts it in his book “Think and Grow Rich.”
“You have a brain and mind of your own. USE IT and
reach your own decisions.” He goes on to say that if
you need help making a decision, do it quietly and with
out disclosing your purpose, keeping in mind the fact
that every person with whom you associate is, like
yourself, seeking the opportunity to accumulate money.
If you talk about your plans too freely, you may be
surprised when you learn that some other person has
beaten you to your goal by PUTTING INTO ACTION
AHEAD OF YOU, the plans of which you talked unwisely.
Our family’s and friend’s can be our biggest downfall if we
dont listen to Hill’s words. Hill tells us “Keep your eyes
and ears wide open—and your mouth CLOSED, if you wish
to acquire the habit of prompt DECISION.
Those who talk too much do little else. If you talk more
than you listen, you not only deprive yourself of many
opportunities to accumulate useful knowledge, but you
also disclose your PLANS and PURPOSES to people
who will take great delight in defeating you, because they
envy you.
Mr. Hill also tells us “Let one of your first decisions be to
KEEP A CLOSED MOUTH AND OPEN EARS AND EYES.”
I am a blue and this was a biggie for me as I love to talk,
but I have become a better listener. Hill also tells us to
“TELL THE WORLD WHAT YOU INTEND TO DO, BUT
FIRST SHOW IT.”
This is the equivalent of saying that “deeds, and not words,
are what count most.” Like our forefathers whom put their
lives on the line for the decision to become an Independent
nation, we too need to make some decisions that our family’s
and friends may not like, but they too will envy my success.
Going through this book has helped me to slow down and
take note of the world around me. I have learned so much
in such a short time my head is still spinning. I have
learned to apply the rules as I learn them through my
Mastermind Group.

When this amazing master mind group was presented to me i didn’t even know what a master mind group was! Even though I didn’t know much about it I knew it was the answer to the prayers I had been sending up several times a day everyday.
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.
So I prayed and prayed to find “it” to know soon as it was in front of me that what ever “it” is, is what “He” was telling me was missing. It was amazing for me the first time my Mother showed me a video about DNA and the “ether” 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 “This is it this is what I have been asking God for!!!” I felt “IT” I knew that what he was sharing was the truth I could feel it deep where it counts.
This blog is a mile stone in my journey, with this I over came one of the”fear” road blocks on my path of success. Join me in my journey of self development, success in network marketing, and life!
Thank you to my brilliant mentors I love all of you!

Once again, the brevity of life has reminded me that I must be passionately seeking to attain my goals while I am able.
Last Wednesday night, the youngest of four children, an 18 year old, college freshman, collapsed and died while running on a high school track. He was a leader in the making, tackling engineering problems that his classmates had no idea how to solve. He was a friend of our son, who is close to the same age. We also know his family and attended his funeral on Saturday.
So much potential, we don’t understand why it happens, especially when it is someone we know, but it prods us to do better and be leaders that show the way to others.
As an adult, we should know our purpose in life and pursue it passionately. We should be living in the present and giving 100% to achieving the goals to attain our purpose in life.
Remember the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
It is so easy to change from one profession to another in the society today, that most people change many times during their lifetime, never finding fulfillment.
Don’t be discouraged if you don’t know your purpose. Most people don’t know their purpose.
How do you find it? How do you know what you want to be when you grow up?
What did you dream about becoming when you were a child? What do you feel so strongly about doing, that it brings tears to your eyes, or your heart beats faster when you talk about it?
What would you do if you knew that you would not fail and money was not an option?
Let me share the answer that Sharon Lechter and Greg Reid give in their book, THREE FEET FROM GOLD.
You already have the talent and ability to create great suc-
cess in your life. The Success Equation will show you how:
[(P+T) x A x A) +F = Your Success Equation
Combine Passion, something that makes your heart sing,
with Talent, something you excel in, multiply it by the
right Association, successful people or organizations, and
Action, concrete steps you can take toward your goal, and
then add your Faith, the unwavering belief in yourself, and
you will have your own unique Success Equation.
If you don’t already have a journal, get one. Creating your
Success Equation can be your first entry.
PASSION
In your journal, take a page and make a list of ten things you
are passionate about. Sharon’s might include x and y; Greg’s
might include a and b. What does your list include? You may
need to get help from your friends and family (who support
you!) in coming up with things that really get you excited but
you might consider irrelevant.
What are you passionate about? What makes your heart sing?
Think about the times in your life when you have been most
fulfilled. What were you doing?
TALENT
Now, on another page, make a list of ten things you are really good at.
Are you a great communicator? Do you have a knack for numbers?
Can you cook or draw?
What do you excel in? What are your talents?
Now, ask a friend to remove one item that least describes you from each list.
Repeat the process with several friends, either as a group or
individually, until you have one item remaining on each list.
My passion is _______________________________________.
My talent is _________________________________________.
(to be continued…)
Don’t let your potential die. Find your passion in life and pursue it!

“Ninety percent of new businesses fail the first year.
And 90% of the rest fail in the next 4 years.
THAT is tough.
You’re excited. You start. A thousand things go wrong.
You want to quit a thousand times.
Most people just quit.
You need a strong enough reason to do it.
Then if WHAT you’re doing doesn’t work,
You’ll figure out some other way. But if
You’re at all wishy-washy, you’re a goner.”
This quote from Michael Dlouhy’s book, Success in 10 Steps,
explains why we need to find and fulfill our passion in life.
That passion in your life will create a successful business.
So, why are you here (on earth, I mean)?
What do you enjoy doing so much that you can’t wait to get started in the morning?
God placed man on the earth initially to have fellowship with Him.
It was a joy for Adam, Eve, and God to walk and talk together in
‘the cool of the day’. We should have fellowship with our Creator.
We need to know what our purpose in life is. It will fulfill us so that we are overjoyed to work at accomplishing our purpose every day.
I don’t mean like the movie that shows someone who’s whole live
builds to a climax of doing a great humanitarian deed and then
passes on, though that may happen.
I am talking about day to day, burning, passionate, desires or dreams that become a reality because you pursue them with clear focus and purpose. Then you will be successful in your life, your business, etc.
First of all, you have to know WHAT you want. What is YOUR dream, your PURPOSE, YOUR PASSION IN LIFE?
Most people have been ‘programmed’ to think that once you reach adulthood, you are not supposed to dream anymore. (Not in the daytime, anyway)
WHY NOT?
Do you want to be STUCK in your 9-5 J-O-B from now until you retire without enough retirement to live comfortably?
Take responsibility of your life and actions and achieve your dreams.
Dream, and DREAM BIG, the BIGGER, the Better!
In the book, Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill says,
“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”
In the weeks to come, I will be sharing the steps that many
successful entrepreneurs have taken.
Then you, too, will be able to….
Find YOUR PASSION IN LIFE and BUILD YOUR BUSINESS.

In building a stable, profitable mlm organization, you must
1. have a tested and proven lead generation training system for your team to use immediately
2. Expand your ability to coach your team to success with your system
The key element that can coach your team to success is you. You must know and understand your own WHY and focus on it every day. You should know exactly what motivates you or how will you will ever be able to find what motivates them? If they don’t get their WHY hammered out in the beginning, they will sooner or later abandon their business. They won’t be able to keep their commitment, if they don’t understand why they are doing their daily work.
Reread the first chapter of Success in 10 Steps, if you are even the slightest unclear about your WHY. You find at least 20 questions in that section to help you identify your motivation.
Not to mention … You will be much happier and better equipped to help others and lead them to their WHY, which will help you all achieve the desired objectives. That’s what a Coach needs in order to be great.

So you’ve found yourself a coach or a mentor that is doing what you want to do. You want to be able to accomplish what they have. Now what? How can you make sure you get the best out of your experience?
You need to make sure that you are coachable.
What does this mean?
When a person is coachable, they do 2 things consistently. They do what the coach tells them to do without questioning it. And the second thing is even more important than the first. They ask for FEEDBACK!
We’ve all heard the saying, “There is always room for improvement.” I believe that to be true. Sometimes it only takes a little tiny tweek to make a huge improvement to the play. Perhaps by starting on the left foot instead of the right can give a player a fraction of a second that could change a plays outcome.
When we listen to our coach and do what they tell us, and then follow up with asking for feedback then we are truly coachable.
Are you coachable?

In order for you to build a stable, profitable network marketing business, you must be able to offer your prospects a tested, proven lead generation & training system and develop into a coach that can coach your team to victory in your system.
The most important element of being able to coach your recruits to victory is … you. You must have the same faith and belief and understand your WHY and focus on it daily.
You need to know exactly what motivates YOU. If you don’t know for yourself, how will you ever be able to help your prospects figure out what motivates them? And if they are not able to define their WHY, then sooner or later they’ll drift away .
They won’t be able to maintain their daily commitment if they can’t see exactly why they’re doing it.
Re-read Chapter 2 of Success In 10 Steps if you’re at all stumped over your WHY. You’ll find at least 20 questions in that chapter to help you narrow your focus to find your very solid WHY.
Remember, everything you learn for yourself, you will be able to help others do the same. After all that is the name of the game… duplication.

Happy New Year Everyone!
Have you been working on setting yourself and your network marketing organization up for a success 2009?
A new year is always a time for reflection, resolutions, goal setting and fresh starts. Setting a goal is much more useful to the network marketer than a making a New Years resolution. When you set a goal, one that will require you to stretch a little and you have a specific date to accomplish it. Even if you do not succeed in reaching that goal, you stretched, became more flexible and are now positioned that much closer to that goal.
I have a suggestion for you for a new goal.
Find yourself a Mentor/Coach for your network marketing business.
Here are a few things you may want to ask them or think about when choosing a mentor.
- Are they successful in building their network marketing business?
- Find out exactly what they are doing that works.
- Ask them if you can chat with some of their people in their organization and see how they are doing it.
- Do they have a simple, proven system that is easy to learn and teach to others.
- Find someone that will mentor you with no strings attached. (there should be no agenda on their part)
- Are they willing to show you EVERYTHING or do they hide things?
- What resources do they have available?
- Do they have a functioning TEAM? or are they doing it all by themselves? (HINT: you can NOT do this alone… EVER)
- What level of importance do they rate personal development? (should be pretty high on the list)
- Can they introduce you to other leaders that can and are willing to help with no agenda?
This is a simple goal and very doable. But if your not used to asking for help, it can be a stretch.
I can make it simple, download my ebook, Success in 10 Steps, written by Michael Dlouhy, and if you feel I can not be of some help to you, I will help you find a mentor who can and will.
Have a FANTASTIC Year full of Love and Abundance
