Creating Effective and Efficient Relationships

Networks are built and maintained by the relationships you have with others. This article will provide some insight into the why and how of relationships. Use the information in your relationships and in building
your network.

Relationships of all kinds are often perceived as very delicate things, that require extra effort to maintain. However, a relationship can also be something that can provide security and can also be long lasting despite many trials.

Building an effective and lasting relationships is a necessity for several reasons. For example in a group or organization, the well being of the people depends on how efficient and effective that group or organization works.

The group or organization is also dependent on how the members work well with the management.

An ineffective group or organization can really be very frustrating. An effective group or organization can also ask so much on their members, that sometimes the members would be having no life outside the walls of the area where they work or sacrifice the other aspects of their life just to meet deadlines. For an organization or group with this kind of scenario, relationships can be stressed or suffer from breakdown.

People or other entities who depend on these groups or organization also suffer.

Society is defined as a web of relationships, which requires all parties to work and contribute their share in order to achieve a common goal. Having a relationship that is good, where cooperation and respect are manifested, can make society work better. In this way each member works for the good of the whole and towards achieving a common goal. This can only be attained with effective and efficient relationships.

Understanding the other parties' feeling and position creates an effective and efficient relationship. The easiest method to understand what is important to another party is to ask them what they want and listen to what they have to say. When the other party realizes this, they would feel the importance given to them

Effective and efficient relationships require parties to openly express their feelings and positions on all matters pertinent on the relationship. Assuming that the other party understands our needs and give us when we need it without asking for it is not a good practice.

Respect is the key to relationship. In order to create a more effective relationship, parties should treat each other with respect. We can show respect just by listening to the other party and by trying sincerely to understand how they function. You can also show respect to other parties by confirming that they are doing everything they can.

The opposite of respect is quick forming of judgements based on unfounded facts and prejudice.

Respect is the very foundation for a great relationship. This also means respecting yourself and respecting others.

Another key area in forming an effective relationship is to tackle differences of the other party directly. Differences between parties or people are quite interesting. For example in a conversation where each party listens to the other party, you may observe that each is having two different perspectives.

Work towards a win-win solution for both parties.

This can be done when at least one party acknowledges that the relationship is important. That party would then exert more time, effort and energy to understand the other party's needs and deal with it to get it out of the way. Should they fail, it is comforting for that party to know that they tried.

Effectively listening and no pre-judging. This is important if parties are to understand each other.

Informal discussions are conducive for parties. They bring out issues and concerns comfortably. They also feel more relaxed making them think more clearly.

Developing an atmosphere where the other party can express their feelings when they need to.

When parties fail to express whatever is on their mind or their feelings, it can get in the way of building an effective relationship.

Parties should be aware that certain things exist naturally but should be controlled in any dealings in any relationship. Human nature is one. Some of these things found in a relationship also include a history of stereotyping or mistrust, blaming the other person or party for a strained relationship, excluding the other party's feelings when focusing on a task, no clear and defined objectives, roles and expectations of each party in a relationship is also unclear.

Relationships are important to anyone, addressing issues and problems right away is a must to further improve the relationship. As they say 'No man is an Island'.
Change Your Life in 100 Days

We are allready halfway thru the firsts half of the month how are you doing
with your goals & resolutions that you set. If you did set any, I hope that you
are at leasts making the attempt to work on them.

Lots of people have given up all ready and some like my co-worker did
not even make any so, in his mind, he would not have broken any. I wonder
how he thinks anything is going to be different if he or you do not do things
differently.

You know 100 days is not a long time & it represents about a third of the
year. If you are not forcing yourself to do what needs to be done it is
likely that it is not going to happen later on. That has been my
experience & I definitely want to change that.  

Consider what would happen if I were to follow you with a camera crew
24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the next 100 days while you went
for your goals?

I bet 3 things would happen....



1) You would START doing the things you say you need to do.


2) You would STOP doing the things you know you shouldn't be doing.

3) You would MAKE monumental performance gains and change your life.

This is ALL possible through the discipline of accountability. Accountability serves and
protects your character, credibility and commitments. It ensures that what you want to
accomplish gets accomplished.

Throughout every area of your life it's important to understand that ALL unfinished
goals, projects and relationships are the result of broken promises, unfulfilled
commitments, and lack of accountability.

With that reality in mind, I wanted to share with you an exciting opportunity to achieve
every goal you set, to enforce ultimate accountability into your life, and show you how
you can make monumental performance gains.

I have found a program that  I believe to be the most comprehensive
approach to goal setting and performance enhancement.

you start the year strong.

Commitment to Change
by Lorenzo Rothery



I would like to take this time to wish everyone a Happy & Prosperous New Year. With this being the beginning of a new year & decade, we should look to make the most of them both.

The last couple of years have been hard on many people but we can not let that keep us from looking for a brighter tomorrow today. I fully exspect for this to be a much more productive & rewarding year for myself. It could be for others as well if that is what they want.

There are many diiferent areas that you may need to work on to reach your goals but the most important one is the commitment to change. Think about it, if you do not make the changes needed then you will not get the results wanted.

This has to be a real commitment & not just wish full thinking because that will not work. It is going to take effort & a wilingness to work at making the change in order for it to stick. I know becuase I tried the just thinking about it & wishing for it & it did not happen. So, I decided to get real with myself & start doing the things needed to get the things I want.

We basically have to challenge ourselves to be better than we are NOW! In my research preparing for the new year that is what it boils down to. For all the people that we look up to, that is what they did and continue to do.

So, here is my plan to get the most out of this year & you might want to try it yourself.

Ask what do I want?

What is it going to take for me to get it?

Am I going to commit to change to reach that goal?


Now lets get started & see where we will end up at the end of the year.


The 100 Day Challenge – Let’s Do It


We all began this year at GO, and all roads lead to a final rendezvous; the difference is what we've done en route.


Goals set, actions taken, and results realized determine if you get to call this year a success or not.


September 23rd is an important date as it marks the 100 daycountdown of 2009.


With that in mind, I have put together a number of questions for you to consider as you progress toward the finish line and call this year a wrap:


1. What specific results have you achieved so far this year?


2. Are you healthier, wealthier, and wiser?


3. Are you winning, losing or just holding ground?


4. What results are you committed to achieve by the end of the year?


5. How have you grown and what have you learned this year?


6. Is there any unfinished business that needs to be tended to in your life?


7. Are you actively pursuing what's most important on a daily basis?


8. What habits do you need to change to ensure better results?


9. What is the key issue that inhibits your ability to perform at your best?


You must live to answer and honor these questions, because when it comes to the last 100 days of the year, every day and everything you do counts.


With that in mind, I wanted to share with you an exciting opportunity to finish the year strong—it’s called the 100 DayFinish Strong Challenge!


One thing we all have in common is that we all love a challenge.


For some it could be a goal that puts you to the test, an obstacle that says you can't beat me, a belief system that is begging for a breakthrough, or even a mountain that just dares you to climb it.


Whatever it is, you’re attitude should be BRING IT ON, as there'snothing quite like a good old fashioned challenge to see what you're made, to push the boundaries and tests your limits as itis ONLY when we overcome these trials that we get to reap the sweetest rewards.


I'd like to introduce you to the most comprehensive approach to goal setting and performance enhancement.



The 100 Day Finish Strong Challenge is a structured 14-weekperformance improvement program where challengers compete against themselves to achieve a number of challenging goals and finishthe year strong.


You and other competitors from around the world will be provided with a performance plan, a disciplined implementation process,daily measurement systems, and a very unique accountably tool along with specific tactics and strategies to attain your goals.


Free Special Report


The best part is that I have created a powerful special report for your which is titled: How to Create Your Own Big Bang!


This report in my opinion is worth its weight in gold as it shows you how to create monumental performance gains. I encourage you to get your copy right now.


So what are you waiting for? The clock is ticking and if you want to seriously improve your life and corresponding results, I encourage you to check out the 100 Day Finish Strong Challenge today as it will be one of the smartest decisions you’ll make all year.



I wish you a great home stretch during these last 100 days and encourage you to dream big dreams and take the necessary actions to make them reality.


Everything Counts!

99 Ways to Skin a Cat

by Lorenzo Rothery

It seems like everybody has their own theory on how to survive the recession.
Just some of the kind of stuff you'll see across the internet and blogosphere
is advice like:

1.Protect your job
2.Move while others are distracted
3.Earn extra money
4.Evaluate your mortgage
5.Refinance high interest credit cards
6.Reduce spending
7.Haggle your way to savings
8.Conserve and reduce your energy bills
9.Avoid taking on any unnecessary debts

I really could go on to reach 99 just to represent the saying,
"99 ways to skin a cat". But I won't waste your time. I know
you can Google it for yourself and find hundreds more advice
from every Tom, Dick and Harry out there.

So let me get straight to the point.

With so many ways and advice, how come not everyone gets rich?
How come not everyone who reduces their spending get rich?
How come not everyone who has an education get rich?
How come not everyone who starts a business get rich?

Because it's not about what you do, it's about how you do it.
Cause while there are 99 ways to skin a cat, if you don't do it
RIGHT -- whichever method you have chosen -- it won't bring RESULTS.

So what is the ONE right thing that you need to do to get rich?

Bob Proctor knows. And he wants to tell you that there is a
science -- a formula -- to get rich. It's about doing certain things
in a certain way. And this blueprint has been proven to make
anyone get rich across centuries.

So before you waste your time trying out 99 ways blindly, get
this one formula that will transform your financial future.

To learn more about the Science of Getting Rich -
go to http://www.lorenzorothery.com/sogr
Are you a leading force in your market?

Look, I'll be direct.

You are reading this blog post because you're looking for the edge. You want the advantage. You're seeking thatsuperior business or marketing strategy that will catapult YOUR business and/or you to monster success and wild prosperity in your industry.

Loads of people claim they have the "magic bullet." Maybe they do. Maybe they don't.

But I'm absolutely certain about this: One path of business pursuit has (at least) 25 times more probability of exploding your business growth and success upward than anyother single strategy or business approach you could try.

Simply put, you need to transform yourself (and yourbusiness’ image) into the dominant authority in your market.

You need to become THE most trusted expert advisor in yourniche, someone all the consumers (and competitors) look to for important knowledge.

You need to learn how to gain a disproportionately greater influence over people in your marketplace than any other company or individual out there.

Why?

Because customers and prospects alike continuously crave greater knowledge and guidance on what decisions, preferences, actions they should take.

And experts provide their marketplaces with the critical information, advice, guidance, understanding, vision, hope,certainty, motivation and confidence they need to make decisions and take meaningful action.

Your marketplace understandably feels (quite logically) that these authorities who have the most information and the newest information and the most usable information --- must be THE most important.

They're always seen (and perceived) by a marketplace (anymarketplace) as the big winners, the shining superstars.Everyone wants to be associated with winners, starts, visionaries.
Don't you want that, too? I mean seriously--why else do youwait for my updated blogs, etc?
Good--because if you want the fastest, easiest path to becoming an Instant Expert in your niche, then this webinaris tailored specifically for you.

http://www.lorenzorothery.com/ie

Nobody knows more about becoming a monster force in the online marketing world than Rich Schefren...

This is the same guy that not only shot to premier status as the go-to source for marketing and business building wisdom(in record time, I might add)...but he's also the catapult that launched dozens of other multi-million dollar producers.

Ever hear of Mike Filsaime? Tellman Knudson? Shawn Casey?Joel Comm? Ryan Deiss? All former coaching students of Rich's...and all mega-successful in their field.

And the list doesn't stop there. Rich's influence on theinternet marketing world is unprecedented. Because he KNOWS how to make any marketer or business owner--from newbie to experienced--an established force in their industry.
And during this webinar, he's going to reveal his secretformula to YOU.

http://www.lorenzorothery.com/ie

Don't miss out on this one. It's LOADED with insider info you simply can't get anywhere else.
I'll see you there...

Lorenzo Rothery

P.S. I wouldn't dawdle around before securing a spot on this webinar...
There's an EXTREMELY limited number of slots available. And once the word gets out, they'll get snatched up almost immediately.

So go there and reserve your place NOW before they're allgone.

Time for Change


Well, it has been a while since my last post & a lot has been going on. I seem to keep letting everyday life get in my way of doing what I should be doing for this blog. That is finally going to change as I am committed to the concept and belief that we can inspire 10,000 people or more to create the lives they want.

So, our focus will be on informing you of the tools & resources that will help you in building your network first & foremost. That is the main ingredient for you to understanding and developing the concept. Then we have to show you ways that you can use your network to build your business. During the process of building your business your networth will grow and grow.

Now, I know this sounds to simple to actual work but it is the simple things that most concepts and strategies are made up of. It is going to take work on your part but if done right, will provide you with an asset or assets that will take care of you and your family for a long time. If you go back and read the previous posts you will start to see the steps that are needed to develop the process to make the concept work for you. These will be more clearly defined & organized so that it can be used as you learn it.

I do not know about you but that is what I want and not have to be struggling year in and year out. That is no way to live and we should not accept that as our fate in life. We should be able to enjoy life to its fullest and provide the means to help our family and anyone or anybody that we want while we are here. Life is to short and you only get to experience it one time. Lets Make The Best Of It!!!
You Have To Believe



One of the thing that I can tell you that matters A LOT is that

you have to Believe in yourself & what you are doing if you want

to make it in this world. Not just in your network marketing business

but in everything you do because the majority of people will not

& will try to discourage you along the way.



I mean deep down with unwavering faith that what you are

trying to do is possible. Now you need to have the ability to

actually do it if you want to see it come true.



There is a poem that you should post somewhere you can see

it on a daily bases as it will help in building your belief as it has me.

BELIEVE WHILE OTHERS..... by William Arthur Ward

Believe while others are doubting.

Plan while others are playing.

Study while others are sleeping.

Decide while others are delaying.

Prepare while others are daydreaming.

Begin while others are procrastinating.

Work while others are wishing.

Save while others are wasting.

Listen while others are talking.

Smile while others are frowning.

Commend while others are criticizing.

Persist while others are quitting.
Increase Your Signups



You could turn this special time of the year into a profitable
situation for yourself. It could be the start of having a great year
if your opportunity can deliver on it's potential.

You are probable wondering what is so special about this time of the year,
right? Well, it is TAX time where you get to find out if you are going to get a
refund or have to pay the government more of your hard earned money.

If you are like most people you feel that you pay out enough for income taxes
as it is & do not get the full benefits that you should.

Plus they are using your tax dollars bailing out businesses that should know
how to manage their money alot better than they have. And that is just going
to take more away from us that we should be getting some support from.

With changes in the tax laws coming about on a regular basis it is hard
to keep up but you need a way to keep more of the money that you earn
so that you can provide for your family as you see fit. Plus do the things
you want to do with them.

The information below will show how, prospects, your company, & you can
benfit from the tax laws so that it is a win win win situation all the way around.


How You BENEFIT When Your Prospects & Distributors Learn About
Home-Business Tax-Deductions


Recruiting, Closing and Retention are almost automatic once a person really understands the huge tax benefits of operating an active home-based business.

Another BIG reason to sign-up.

When they learn that the tax benefits of having a home-based business can usually put some $300-$600 extra cash in their pockets every month -- starting the month they join a home-based business -- they sign up. The extra income from home-business tax breaks is more than enough to pay for the costs of joining and running almost any network marketing business. They're actually "into profit" even before they make their first sale. How's that for motivation?

A STRONG incentive to Stay In, and to Stay Active.

When they learn that, in order to qualify for the tax breaks, they must actively work their business 4-5 hours per week and must be able to prove they have a profit-intent, they do exactly that. If they ever drop-out or stop actively working the business, they'll have to resume paying Uncle Sam that $300-$600/month extra cash that they've gotten used to putting in their own pocket. So, they don't dare quit.

What will your Distributors need to learn?

* What tax breaks are available to home-business owners,
* The easiest ways to qualify for each of them,
* Easy recordkeeping systems to keep them audit-proof, and
* How to begin adding $300-$600/month to their take-home pay, starting

The Bottom Line? An understanding of home-business tax law offers significant benefits to the Distributor (or member, associate, IMR, etc.), the Prospect, and, very importantly, the Company.

How the DISTRIBUTOR Benefits

Tax breaks put an average of $300-$600 per month extra cash in their pockets

... to purchase more tools
... to pay for autoship
... to attend conventions
... to pay all other costs of operating their network marketing business.

Thus, all Commissions and Bonuses they earn are 100% PROFIT. · Having home-business tax knowledge helps accelerate Recruiting and Closing. · For the first time, distributors now have a way to help prospects who want to join, but do not have the money to get started. How? The tax savings alone will put enough new cash in the prospect's pocket to pay for the sign-up fees and the costs of running a successful business.

It results in Improved Retention and Consistent Results because a distributor loses his/her home-business tax deductions if he/she does not continue to "work the business on a regular and consistent basis, and with the intent to produce a profit."

How the PROSPECT Benefits

Prospects can get a tax deduction for all start-up costs. Tax deductions, alone, can put a new distributer into positive cash flow, even before commission checks begin to arrive. As a New Distributor there's a big incentive to "get active" on Day 1, because he/she begins qualifying for home-business tax deductions as soon as he/she begins to "actively work his/her business on a regular basis."

How the COMPANY Benefits

ALL of the Above -- PLUS...

* Improved RETENTION
* Increased SALES
* Faster RECRUITING
* Better CLOSING RATIOS
* Continued GROWTH and STABILITY.

Helping THOUSANDS to SAVE a BUNDLE!!!
In this update I want to inform you on a tool that I know will help you achieve your goals after having made your decision on what to change in your life. I know this because I first took the Challenge when it was introduced in the last quarter of last year. It was done to help us get a jump start going into the new year.

It help me accomplish a few of the goals that I had set out for myself using the program. It has daily suppport material to help keep you on track along with tracking sheets so that you can see what you are or are not doing. There is even motivating articles and audios for you to read and listen to. These should be used a shots in the arm when you feel like you just do not have the get up and go needed to press on.

So read the information below & make the decisions to take action to make 2009 the year you begin a new life of joy and happiness.

Are Your Ready for a Challenge? I am. Always.

How do you accomplish big things? By setting goals and making them public. There's nothing like quite like a good old fashioned challenge to see what we are made of, to push the boundaries and test the limits as it's only when we overcome these types of trials and challenges that we reap the sweetest rewards in life.

February 2nd is an important date not just because it's Groundhog Day and we all want to know if Punxsutawney Phil (the Groundhog) sees his shadow.

More importantly, it marks the date when thousands of people from around the world make the decision to accept the challenge that will change their life for the better and I mean much better.

With that in mind, I thought I'd recommend a resource to help you get things done. If you're tired of struggling with debt, fearful of the current economic crisis, paralyzed by the pace of change, here's the best way for you to control your future starting today.

It's called the 100 Day Challenge.

Think BIG,

Decision 09

Well we are in the swing of the new year now. Can you believe that one month has pass by all ready. How fast the days go by when you do not think about it. If you are not taking action on your goals or resolutions then you are going to be in the same place you where at when 2008 went out. I for one do not plan on letting that be the case this year & beyond.

Last year there was a movement developing on Change-making a change in this country and in our lives. It spread so fast and wide that we have done something that has never been done before . That is electing the first African American President. However, there is a lot more change going to have to take place if we are to restore America to greatness once again.

What I want to know is what decisions have you made to change things in your life? To make it better and to get more out of it. Or are you just letting it pass you by as it always has.

If you did make some decisions to change somethings have you acted on them? I have to ask myself that everyday because I want to make some real changes in my life. Even though I planned to start at the first of the year, it was not until about a week later before it started happening.

For instance, I was suppose to be posting to this blog at least three times a week and working up to making daily post. As you can see this is the first one for the year. Yes, I have made a decision to do this and now that I havc started it, I must follow thru to make it happen. It is so easy not to do something and that is why we do not reach the goals we set for ourselves. Well, that has got to STOP.

Our problem with not doing what we say we are going to do is because we do not start. If we would just take that first step and then the next one and keep it up there is not telling what kind of life we could be experiencing.

You should want to experience all that you can out of life, the good life and I want that for you also. As I have learned "you don't have to get it right, you just have to get it going." So, let us get going.

Some of the areas that you could make decisions about are relationships, health, work, spiritual, finacnes, and education. We should consider these as they are some of the most important areas of our lives and thus should be a part of the changes in it that we are going to make.

There might be others that you want to add but start with these because they are universal and generally effect everything else that goes on in your life.

So, for each one make a decision about what you want to change in that area. When it comes to health most people say they want to get healthier and that they are going to start exercising more. I know because I have started that myself since I want my body to be looking good this spring and summer when I can wear my shorts and tank tops.

My sone has a Wii along with the Wii fit program and is something else to use to achieve my health goals. Now once again this is something that I am starting late but I am going to take action on it & by me stating here that is going to motivate me to do it. You see your health is the most important thing you could have outside of a relationship with God so, do not take it litely.

We have to force ourselves to break those bad habits, to do the things neccessary to make the changes needed, to fulfill the decisions that we make. You might want to read that again.

Once you have made your decisions then make a plan to reach it. After that is done then start working your plan. Keep working it and adjusting as you need to until you have accomplished what you have set out to do.

Tell me your thoughts on this and what you plan to do to make changes in your life.
Why you should choose working at home business opportunities offered by MLM?

MLM is a powerful business concept for many reasons but the most obvious is for the type of income it can provide the network marketer. It is so powerful that many fortune 500 companies have used, and some are still using, this business model to build their multi-million dollar empire. So why cannot the average person do the same?

The answer is average people are already working some great MLM home-based businesses opportunities. Are you one of them? If not, now is an excellent time to get started. Millionaires have taken notice of MLM as a home-based business opportunity that average people can work into and build wealth.

MLM is a huge, thriving industry in spite of all the negative publicity it receives in the media
from anti-MLM enthusiasts. Many millionaires express how MLM is a wonderful opportunity for anyone interested in building a home-based business without having to work from scratch. Such giants as Robert Kiyosaki & Donald Trump. Warren Buffet has bought some MLM comapnies that are now part of his empire. Can you use some extra income?

Most consumers would probably answer yes to this question. Everybody can use extra income every month. But where is this extra income going to come from? One obvious solution would be is to get a second job. This option may seem to be the best solution but is really not. This is because the time you spend on your second job and the money you receive after taxes is not enough. Plus there are many tax advantages to owning your own business as compared to the disadvantages of just getting another job.

Of course you will have to consider your reasons for getting a second job and why you need the
extra income to determine if getting a second job is really the right solution for you.
However, on the other hand, you can start working on your own part-time home-based business using MLM as your business opportunity. You can get started in the industry for nearly nothing. This is a big plus.

How can you start working in an MLM home business opportunity you have heard so much
about? Getting started in network marketing has become so easy that anyone can get started even if you do not have a dime to invest in your start up. However, you are not going to get very far because most people who invest nothing end up doing nothing. Tell me what business do you know of that you can start & grow without any money invested? Just think about what it takes to run any business & that shows you will have to invest a little money at least to get it up & going.

The key here is to simply get started then never quit. Many legitimate MLM home business opportunities will allow you to get started for under $100. You can even find free opportunities with little or no overhead expenses and with great support from other members as well as the parent company.

These companies will provide all the tools and system for you. You simply add your sweat equity, your working commitment, and persistence to the MLM home business opportunity. Remember to choose a well-established company that offers quality consumable products or services with an excellent management team and support to their distributors. Another important key factor is your commitment to the company and its products and services. Working for a home business MLM opportunity means that you should be a bona-fide user and marketer of the products and services you want to earn extra income from.

In conclusion, MLM is a smart business opportunity sense for anyone wishing to start working at home. It cost next to nothing to get started, you get a proven system like you would if you
bought a franchise opportunity, and you can be in profit in months rather than in years.
Therefore, if you desire more income while still working a 9 to 5 job, or to build your
retirement income, then you should seriously consider working for a home business MLM opportunity.
Change

Change is constantly happening no matter if we want it to or not. There are some who do not want or like things to change. Then there are those who look for or expect change to come. It does not matter which group you fall into because change is coming & will continue to evolve as we live here on planet earth.

There has been some major changes that have occurred here in America & around the world. Our economy has taken a downward fall, jobs are being lost everyday by the hundreds & thousands. People are losing their homes at alarming rates & thus the only wealth they have for many of them. This is having an effect on the world economy as well & if the other countries start having the troubles we are then it is really going to be a mess.

So for me and I believe everyone out there we have two decisions to make. First we must decide how we are going to react to changes that come. Second we have to decide what we are going to do about them. Are we going to accept or reject them. Work towards making them happen or stop them from happening. As you can see things that are happening now effect you one way or another. So, you can not sit by & do nothing or you will come out on the short end of the stick.

What is happening in the economy now is enough to cause everyone to do something. I say this because it touches us in all aspects of our lives. Jobs, housing, education, & health care just for starters. We can not depend on the corporations or the government to take care of us because they can't or will not by themselves.

We have to accept or deal with these changes ane then do what we can to take care of ourselves & our families. We must create our own economy within the overall economy. That is why I believe that you must start a business as the way to generate income & profits to be self sufficient.

As I have stated before, I was tired of the way things where going for me. So, I had to change what I was doing which in most cases was not enough to improve my situation. If you are honest with yourself you can say the samething.

So join me in a movement of change so that we can improve our lot in life and help make a difference for or in others. One of the best ways to do this is to be of service to others. We are mostly a service based economy and if you can find your way in it, then you will be able to provide for yourself & family and realize your dreams.
Do You Think Like Kim Kardashian?

I have to admit that I am not a big television watcher because there is so much more I could use my time doing. However, when I do it is for getting educated on some topic, issue, or interest that I have at the time. In addition, that could be a lot for someone like me.

Then there are some shows that I watch just for the entertainment value because lets face it, which is what it is mostly about anyway, right? One of those shows is “Dancing with the Stars” that really entertains & inspires me. If you have seen it you know what I mean and if not I recommend that you check it out.

The concept of the show is that regular celebrities are partnered up with dance instructions to learn ballroom dancing, and then there is a contest to see who can stay on until the end to be crowned champion ballroom dancer. During the show, you get to see the training that goes on to prepare for each week because they have to come out & perform one or two dances on the show. There are three judges that analyze and give them a score. The audience and home viewers get to vote on them also.

One of my favorites on this series is Kim Kardashian. Now if you do not know who she is she has a reality show that shows her daily experiences with her family. Her mother is married to Bruce Jennier the Olympic gold medal decathlon winner from back in the day. Besides that Kim is one awesome looking young lady that should being doing more than she is.

That is why I titled this article as I did. I said before when I am watching t.v. it is to learn something if I can and I did watching her. The “Dancing with the Stars” show I am talking about was on Tuesday, September 23. I missed Monday’s episode and Kim was almost eliminated Tuesday because of her slack performance. When I saw her dance on Tuesday, I could tell she still did not realize what it takes to stay on the show.

The judges told her that with the style, looks, and assets she has she should be on fire on the dance floor. However, because of what she thinks she is not doing her best. Could that be the reason you are not doing your best in what you are doing or trying to do.

Now granted she is not a dancing queen or a major performer, if she believed that she was her dancing would have a lot more life to it. She is too stiff, shy, and reserved for that show and it could cost her in the end.

When being interviewed she stated that people think she is out going, party loving hot sexy free spirit. However, in her mind and reality she is not. She is having problems bringing that out of herself. It just seems to me with the way she looks, people she knows that she could come off that way when needed to get what she wanted out of life. Since Kim is not using it, her charisma she is doing all that is possible for her to do. That is to become a Big Time Celebrate and capitalize off it while she can.

That is why I asked are you thinking like her because if you are, you are shortchanging yourself. It may not be that you should try to do or be what others think of you but you should do or be the best you can at what it is you do or want to do.

I have struggled with this for a long time myself and it has held me back as well. It was not that I did not think I could do more. My problem was not taking the action to do it, which would change my life. That is how this blog came into being.

Wanting more time and financial freedom for others and myself I was given the concept of “Networks Build Networth” along with the inspiration to figure out how and to show others the way. Your way may not be exactly like mine but if I can show or tell you something that you can use to find your way, then it is all-good and will benefit us all.

Therefore, it is important that we start believing in ourselves and our abilities to do what we want. Even if it does not seem so now do not give up.
Start A Business NOW!!!!

You may be thinking - say what; Start a business Now. With the economy in a recession or heading that way. The prices of everything going up. People losing their jobs by the thousands. It would be crazy to think about starting a business now.

I use to think that way also. Until I read in one of the many business books read over the years that this environment is great because you learn to operate during tough times. Plus there are some businesses that do really well during a period like this. The home based business industry is one of them. Since you can start small and do while you keep your regular job.

You should look at it as being your backup plan if you were to lose your job. We just do not know what is going to happen in the future & if you do not have, a nice sum put back in saving, it is not going to be easy to get by. Most of us are just getting by no and we are working everyday. That is the bad part.

Being in business for yourself allows you to earn an extra stream of income to help meet the bills that come due. The taxman when he comes calling. The fuel cost just to get back & forth to work and/or school. Put food on the table & buy medicine when you or a family member is sick. And as far as talking about having a savings account-the majority of us do not even have one let alone a nice tidy sum in it.

Then what about those unexspecting emergencies that all ways seem to pop up. The Pay Day Loan industry was born out of this problem & they are everywhere now.

Now granted that 90 – 95% of businesses usually fail within 5 years, if you get educated about starting & running a business, do some research & have the will & determination, passion for it, there is no telling how big your business can become.

These are just some of the benefits of having your own business for you to consider. We will discuss others such as health issues, time for family & friends, community involvement in future articles.

Look at it this way, it’s all about FREEDOM. We all want more of it but it is slipping away from us more & more each day. You are probably working a 2nd or 3rd job now to earn the extra money you need but you do not have any time for yourself let alone anything else. Working like that only makes us more tired and brings on a lot more stress. Who needs more of that when it makes us unhealthy and no fun to be around?

Now it will take time & effort to get your business up and going but at least it is something that is yours. You are building something that can support your dreams & desires to have a happy, fulfilling life. Plus once it is up & running and at a point it is providing as much or more income than your job, guess what? You can quit that job devote more time to your business & eventually have the money and time to do what you want to do.

Hey that is what I am looking for what about you? If you are looking for that also get in touch with me and lets take this journey together.
Education Is Key

Well, it has come to that time of year again, the beginning of the new school year. Here in the South school has started or so but in other parts of the country it may not be until after Labor Day. It took some adjusting on my part when I moved to South Carolina from New York because of that. Then there are some children who are ready to go back & some who are not.

This message however is for the parents because it is time for them to realize that they need to be getting educated also. This is the one way for them to stay afloat or get ahead in the fallen economy. If you are not trying to learn something that will make you more valuable on your current job, preparing you for a new job or getting ready to start your own business then you may be experiencing some troubled times in the future.

I know because if I had not taking the opportunity to move into another department at my job I would have been laid off also. The company I worked for was bought out & the main operation shutdown. They wanted this new process that we had developed & since I was a part of it that helped me to stay on. Now, that situation was avoid but I might not be so lucky the next time.
That is if the company decides to move our production overseas or shuts it down completely.

When I was growing up I was in the Boy Scouts and part of their motto is “Be Prepared”. So, having seen the handwriting on the wall and lived thru it for now, I thought I had better take some action just in case. And I suggest that you do the same. If you watch the news, read the newspaper or listen to the radio you know you are just making it day by day. You do not know if you are going to be working the next day or not.

Let me ask you a question or two, what would you do if you lost your job tomorrow? How long could you pay your bills before you found another? Is your field of work experiencing growth or decline? Could you easily move into a job in another industry? Think about it if you haven’t. This may be the wake up call you need before you actually have to work through this situation.

As I see it you have two options to combat this potential problem. There may be more than two but in my opinion these are the only ones that offer lasting results. You could do as my co-worker did go to tech school and learn a new skill. Since he is into computers he took up Network & Systems Design. Going back to school is a definite plus but you must go into a field that is growing or at least has a steady demand for workers.

The other option is to look into starting your own business. This could be a home based or a traditional one but, just get one going. There are many opportunities out there especially since the internet has become such an integral part of our lives. Be warned, there are many, many scams and con artist out there so due your homework before investing in anything.

Your future depends on you and that is why you should be doing some thinking & research about what else you could do if you had to. Remember we are dealing in a global economy now and it is going to take what you know now & what you learn to be able to survive & then thrive in the 21st century.

Welcome to the Network.

Hello To All,

My name is Lorenzo Rothery & I would like to welcome you the Networks Build Networth blog.

This project was undertaking because of all the disservice & dissatisfaction that was being caused in the field of network marketing. I have experienced it myself as well as all the rest of you out there who are involved or have been involved in it.

No, I am not some super guru, million dollar earner that claims to have all the answers but with what I have learned & am learning I hope to make your journey to the promise land a little less stressful. I have been learning from some of the best in the industry & some outside of the industry but who's product or service could be used by us as we build our business.

Now, the big focus here is to help you build your business to the point that you are experiencing everything you want from it. It is know fact that the rich get that way because they build networks to help them accomplish what it is they set out to do. So, in order for us to accomplish what we want then we must do the same thing.

Thus that is how the title came to be Networks Build Networth. When you build your network your networth should grow as well and that is what we want for you all.
