A few years back there was a movie called "Are We There Yet"
that featured Ice Cube and Nia Long as the leading actor & actress.
It was based on them taking a trip along with Nia's two kids and
the things they went thru on the trip.
Children being impatience as they can be where asking are we
there yet to know if they had reached their destination. Doing also
to be annoying to the grown ups.
That gave me the idea for the title of this post as to what I wanted
to write about.
You see I have seen a trend during the summer & winter around
the holidays that we have a number of deaths in the community.
Now I know that people die all the time but when it is close to
home or within your own family it should make you take notice.
Take notice of it how you may ask. To that I say that should
show you that life is short even if you live to be 100 years old.
Another way to say it is that you do not have a lot time to get
things done. So, if you want to see them actually accomplished
then you better get busy.Time does not stand still or wait on
anyone.
If you do not make the most of it while you can it will be lost
never to get it back. You can leverage it by getting others to
do some of the things you do now. Or eliminate the ones that
are not moving you forward in life.
It is one of my resolutions to better manage my time so that
I can get more done & have the time to spend with my family
& friends. Plus do other things that I think are important &
to have some fun.
To be more successful this you do the things you need to do
to get you where you want to go. Or want to accomplish so,
when it is time to crossover there will not be any regrets.
New Year and New Beginnings
Well I want to take this time to welcome you all to your chance at
new beginnings. Since it is the start of a new year it is also your
opportunity start a new project that will help you get what you want.
I say a new beginning because most people have not moved forward
on any or the majority of their goals from last year which they could
build on. People are good at talking about what they are going to
do but never get started. If they do start they seem to never finish
it like they are suppose to.
That is why they never have the success which they are looking
for. Isn't it time to stop that vicious cycle and to start taking
action to complete what it is you are after?
For me it is one of the biggest problems I have and the one that I
shall be working on overcoming the hardest this year. If you would
just put down on paper what you want, develop a plan to get it and
then work that plan until it is accomplished how great it would be.
If you are ready to finally get something done then be on the lookout
as I will be posting more tips and suggestions to help you.
Looking forward to all of your success this year as it is your turn
to make it happen. It all depends on you taking action.

Staying Motivated - How to Help Yourself
In the beginning you were likely gung-ho about starting your
own business. Maybe some of that fire is starting to flicker out.
So, how can you stay motivated?
It is the hardest thing next to getting into business in the first place.
When times get tough you may decide that you want to throw in the
towel. Before you make that decision, however, consider a few ways
that you can help yourself to regain your zest for running the business.
First, ask yourself a few questions:
* Why did you start the business in the first place? Don’t underestimate
the power of your memory. Were you working for someone else but
wanting to be your own boss? If you don’t want to return to that way of life,
then don’t give up when the chips are down.
* How are things looking for your competition? It could be that everyone is
having a slow season. Evaluate your growth compared to others in your
niche. There are two things that can motivate you to keep going here.
One - your competition is doing better than you are. A little friendly rivalry is
healthy. You can opt to step up your game and learn from whatever others
in your niche are doing to make financial gains where you are not.
Two - if your competition is in the same boat, you can rise above the
mediocrity to make your business a household name. Remember what you
started the business for. If you are going to make a living and reach your
goals, keep the big picture in mind.
* What are your goals? Each business has to remain focused in order to
move forward. Your goals set the path along which you will travel. But, if your
goals are non-existent or they aren't strong enough to support your business,
then it is time to re-evaluate and change them to become the appropriate
platform to help you gain success.
Now that you have asked yourself some questions, here are a few suggestions
to help you continue to push forward.
Get sage advice – Consult a trusted advisor or business coach. They can help
you to regain your focus and also set a new course for your business should you
need that. Choose someone who has found success in your niche as well as
experience in the areas of business you need help with.
Gain camaraderie on forums – Visit and become a participating part of niche
business forums. You can find out tips to help you move forward in your business.
Don’t neglect local business associations and their ability to help you.
Above all, cut yourself some slack. As long as you are committed to your business,
give yourself the space to grow.

What is Self Esteem
What is self esteem? It is merely an opinion of how you see yourself.
There are two types namely high self esteem and low self esteem and
between the two, it is better to have the first. This is because high
self-esteem enables you to love yourself for who you are while low self
esteem doesn’t make you grow as a person and make you successful.
But where do you get self-esteem? Well as a child, you get it from your
parents. If they raised you right and praised you for your achievements,
chances are you will have a positive outlook of yourself and life. If
you happen to be raised by parents who are not very caring, well you won’t
see the positive qualities you have and will have an angry outlook at the world.
You can also get this from your friends and your peers because sometimes,
how we feel about ourselves is based on the perception of others. If you are
able to ignore the negative sentiment, you are fine because you don’t let
such words affect you.
In the end though, your self esteem comes from inside you. To figure that out,
you can ask yourself some simple questions. Do you like who you are? Are you
happy? Do you think you are a good person? Most of the time, the answer is yes
even if sometimes you have doubts about yourself.
To get rid of those doubts, well you should first accept your faults and
realize that you are not the only one that has this problem. Everyone has a
few flaws that they want to get rid of so you must have the willingness to
change in order to improve yourself.
Another thing you should accept is that you are different from the rest.
This is not only in terms of your physical attributes but also who you are
personally just like each person has their own set of fingerprints that can
never be duplicated by anyone else.
For those that need help, well they can get counseling to improve their
self-esteem or listen to self-help tapes that are designed to do the same
thing as well.
Another technique which won’t cost you a thing will be to write down on a
piece of paper 50 things you like about yourself and then cherishing it. Since
we all grow and change every single day, try to write down one good thing you
did about yourself daily so you can look up and realize that you are not a bad
person.
When you have high self esteem, you are less likely to do anything destructive to
yourself or to others. This is because you have a positive outlook about life and
are always optimistic about the future. With that, you can probably say you can
get anything you want out of life when you have this quality but remember not to
confuse it with being too overconfident because there are two different things.
Another benefit of high self esteem is being able to have an easier time handling
problems and resisting negative pressures. But we should not forget that is
something that we inherit and not something we are born with. This can change in
the years to come only if we allow it and if this happens, hopefully we can be
better than who we were before rather than going the opposite direction.

So let's cut to the chase here...
You have 2 choices. You can either keep avoiding the #1 closing tool in existence and stay broke like 99% of the rest of our industry...
Or you can learn to pick up the phone, and start closing new reps faster and easier than you likely ever thought possible!!
It's time to stop avoiding the phone, period!!...
You've gotten the wrong idea. You've heard that the internet lets you avoid having to use the phone all together, and so you jumped on that falsehood... And you've probably been suffering financially because of it...
Actually what the internet does is let you suck in the leads like crazy, so that you actually have people to call, talk too (gasp!!) and bring into your business...
TONIGHT at 9PM Eastern...the master of the phone, Bill Pescosolido is going to show you exactly how he's able to pull in 10 to 15 reps every month like clockwork, simply by having short conversations with his leads on the phone.
You won't believe how brain-dead simple Bill makes it until you HEAR it from him...
==> http://lorenzorothery.mlsp.com/
If you're pulling in leads, but you're still not generating the kind of revenue that you want...the phone is likely the missing piece of the puzzle!!...
Even if you're brand new, and scared to death to talk to your leads about your business...after what Bill reveals TONIGHT on the MLSP Weekly Webinar at 9PM Eastern...you'll be able to zoom past your competition simply by dialing up the phone and chatting with people that are EXCITED to hear from YOU...
This isn't rocket science...
For anyone to join your business...you've got to show them that they can trust you...
The fastest way to do that is to show them that you're a real human who actually cares enough about them to pick up the phone and call. Then they start to like you...then they join your business!!...
It's a lost art, but Bill has it mastered, and he's going to show you how to do exactly the same on tonight's Webinar at 9PM Eastern!!...
==> http://lorenzorothery.mlsp.com/
Here's what Bill's going to pull back the curtain on TONIGHT at 9PM Eastern...
- How to immediately establish rapport and gain trust with your prospects in 5 minutes or less (this little secret is how this dude sponsors 10-15 leaders PER MONTH!)
- How to command YOUR authoritative voice and provide value to your prospects even if you're day 1 online (WARNING: WITHOUT THIS IN PLACE NOBODY will ever BUY FROM YOU or JOIN YOUR BUSINESS, period)
- In 10 minutes we're going to smash your phone fears in the face so that you can set yourself FREE and prove how easy it is to get on the phone, communicate, and refer and recruit prospects into your business EVERY day!
- AND SO MUCH MORE!

[URGENT] I had to share this now
I don't know about you but it is time for me to start
making things happen instead of waiting for them to
happen. You know why, because it never happens.
We are only here on planet earth for a short while
so, we need to make the most of it while we are here.
When you show up for work tomorrow, the 4th quarter
will be in play.
That's right, three quarters down, and one to go...
are you going to use it to finish the year strong?
Think about it...the year is now 75% complete.
And, if you had ambitions of making $200,000 this
year, you should NOW have $150,000 in the bag.
If you set a goal of paying down $20,000 in debt,
you should be $15,000 lighter by today.
If you started the year overweight and determined
to lose 30 pounds, then you should have dropped 23
pounds and be wearing baggy pants right about now.
Are you on track with any of your goals?
Have you surpassed your expectations?
Are you even close?
YOU cannot possibly believe that if you keep on
doing things just as you've been all year that
your results will somehow turnaround and improve.
TODAY IS REDEMPTION DAY
If you're ready to make a change, to redeem
yourself and finish the year strong then you must
step up your game and RISE TO THE CHALLENGE.
And the best program in the world for achieving
all of those objectives is the 100 Day FINISH
STRONG Challenge.
http://bit.ly/ziqOMP
Do not hesitate to act as enrollment closes in
just a few hours, and this day of redemption will
come to be know as a day of regret.
Live without regrets, take control of your future,
and use the extreme performance acceleration to
finish the year with a BANG.

you're going to be very happy
that you took action!

Change Your Life in 100 Days
This is important so, read it right away.
Consider the implication of this idea...
What 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.
It's called the 100 Day Challenge and it's all about
using the last 100 days of the year to FINISH STRONG.
I've seen it, and it's an amazing piece of work.
But you don't have to take my word for it, check
it out for yourself:
http://bit.ly/ziqOMP
Listen. I'm so impressed with this 100 Day
Challenge, that I'll be participating in the program
myself and using it to finish the year strong.
Join me over the next 100 Days, or, at the very
minimum, take a serious look at this as it could
change your life--QUICKLY.

The Importance of September 23rd
September 23rd may very well prove to be the most
important day of your life.
Why?
#1 It marks the final 100 days of the year.
#2 It provides you with an opportunity to redeem
yourself by finishing the year strong.
#3 It represents the turning point in your life
and will come to symbolize, the day you took full
control of your destiny.
Since you've read this far, consider a few
questions:
How many of your goals have you accomplished so
far this year?
Have your current strategies made you healthier,
wealthier and happier?
If you continue doing what you've done these past
265 days where will you be, and what will you be
doing on Jan 1, 2014?
Will you be struggling, spinning your wheels in
the same place you are now?
Why would you want that?
Especially when you could be...
Confidently executing the plan that launches your
new online business...Or, completing the manuscript
that makes you a best selling author...OR
finishing the year strong and exceeding your
annual sales quota.
I'd like to show you how, and here's a great video
series and special report for you to check out:

weight in gold as it shows you how to create huge

How to Make Customers Love Your Small Business
Customers are the heart and soul of your business. Without them there just isn’t a business.
And when you have loyal and devoted customers it just makes being a business owner the
best thing in the world. There’s nothing like building a community of like-minded individuals.
So what can you do to build and grow the love? Here are a few ideas to make your customers
love your small business.
Freebies
Everyone enjoys a good freebie. When you provide your customers with regular value that
costs them nothing, not even their email address, they really start to feel appreciated. They
also start to truly appreciate you too. Freebies can come in the form of promotional offers
like a BOGO (buy one get one).
You can also share free downloads and information. It’s more than offering free content.
Offer free downloads too. Think about reports, videos, checklists, comparison charts,
workbooks, and lists. Help your customer by providing extra value for free.
Superior Customer Service
Over deliver when it comes to customer service. Provide them with an exceptional customer
service experience and make sure the experience is consistent. Each time you interact with
a customer - whether it is on a social networking site, via telephone or email or face to
face - make sure they know how much you appreciate them.
How? Create systems that support a great experience. Autoresponders can ensure each
customer email is acknowledged in a timely manner. Apparent policies and procedures and
a FAQ page can help ensure customers can easily find answers to their questions. And a
friendly, polite, and welcoming communication can reinforce your customer service vision.
Quality!
Make sure everything you do is done to the best of your ability. Always put forth quality
information, products and services. Quality matters. It not only helps you earn customer love;
it also helps build credibility and authority in your industry. People will share the good news
about you and your business. You’ll receive referrals and recommendations. It’s one of the
best ways to build a business.
Create high expectations for yourself and your business. Then rise up to the challenge to
meet them. Provide an exceptional customer service experience. Give your customers a
steady supply of no cost value, and take steps to ensure each and every product or service
you deliver or represent is top notch.
Treat your customers like you want to be treated and you’ll be well on your way to building a
loyal and loving customer list. They’ll buy from you more often. They’ll refer you to others and
they’re the best people to work with. Loving customers make being a business owner worthwhile.
And when you have loyal and devoted customers it just makes being a business owner the
best thing in the world. There’s nothing like building a community of like-minded individuals.

service experience and make sure the experience is consistent. Each time you interact with
a customer - whether it is on a social networking site, via telephone or email or face to
face - make sure they know how much you appreciate them.
How? Create systems that support a great experience. Autoresponders can ensure each
customer email is acknowledged in a timely manner. Apparent policies and procedures and
a FAQ page can help ensure customers can easily find answers to their questions. And a
friendly, polite, and welcoming communication can reinforce your customer service vision.
Quality!
Make sure everything you do is done to the best of your ability. Always put forth quality
information, products and services. Quality matters. It not only helps you earn customer love;
it also helps build credibility and authority in your industry. People will share the good news
about you and your business. You’ll receive referrals and recommendations. It’s one of the
best ways to build a business.
Create high expectations for yourself and your business. Then rise up to the challenge to
meet them. Provide an exceptional customer service experience. Give your customers a
steady supply of no cost value, and take steps to ensure each and every product or service
you deliver or represent is top notch.
Treat your customers like you want to be treated and you’ll be well on your way to building a
loyal and loving customer list. They’ll buy from you more often. They’ll refer you to others and
they’re the best people to work with. Loving customers make being a business owner worthwhile.
How to Streamline Your Business Processes
If you own and operate your own online business then chances
are you have a multitude of processes. Each process contributes
to your bottom line. And each process consumes time. Your time
is money as they say. If you take the time to streamline your
processes you can make more money in less time. Here are
four steps to streamline your business processes.
are you have a multitude of processes. Each process contributes
to your bottom line. And each process consumes time. Your time
is money as they say. If you take the time to streamline your
processes you can make more money in less time. Here are
four steps to streamline your business processes.
Step #1 Test and Time
Do you know how long it takes you to accomplish each core task
associated with your business? For example, do you know how
long it takes you to pay your bills each month? Bill paying is a task
that doesn't generate any income. Therefore it makes sense to
reduce the time spent and streamline the process as much as possible.
The first step to streamlining your processes is to gather the data. Time
yourself with each of your core processes. For example, when you sit
down to pay your bills this month, write the time that you start. When
you’re finished, take note of how long it took you to complete the task.
Repeat this process with each of your business tasks.
Step #2 Know The Value Of Your Time
Do you know your hourly value? This is essentially your annual income
divided by the number of hours you work each year. It’s often easier to
determine if you break it down by month. So how much did you work last
month and how many hours did you work? For example, if you worked
20 hours a week last month and you earned $3600 then your hourly
value is 3600/80 (assuming there were four weeks in the month) or $45/hour.
The value of your time is important. It serves as a motivator to spend more
time on profit generating tasks and less time on administrative or management
tasks. Additionally, it’ll help you make budgetary decisions when deciding how
to streamline processes.
For example, if you are trying to streamline your bill paying processes and you
determine that it’ll cost you $35/hour to outsource the task to a bookkeeper then
you know that it is a financially wise decision. You’ll save $10/hour. Of course this
is assuming you replace that hour you would have spent paying bills with a profit
generating task.
Step #3 Look for Ways to Save Time
In step #2 outsourcing was mentioned. There are essentially three main ways to
streamline a process. You can:
Outsource or delegate
Use templates or blueprints
Automate processes
As you’re working through each task, always look for opportunities to save time.
Embrace the tools that make sense for your business.
Once you've added technology or outsourced some or all of the task, consider timing
the task again. Just as you did in step #1, assess how long it takes you to complete
each task. Also occasionally evaluate your hourly value. Ultimately, the goal is to make
more and do less.
The Most Effective Sources To Improve Your Personality
It's been said that if you want to earn more then you have to become or
grow more. What it means is that you have do personal development to
become a more effective person when dealing with others.
You must have asked yourself this question often, “How do I improve
my personality and become a more effective person?” People
throughout the ages have realized that personality is a very important
contributor to success. Indeed, you cannot succeed without having a
great personality. When you are inspiring, confident, charming, optimistic,
etc. you are improving your personality. The sheer magnetic effect that it
adds to your charisma is what brings you to success.
But, where do you go to improve your personality? There are actually
various places where you can learn.
The most effective school for building a personality is life itself. Learn
from the people that you meet everyday. Just think about the people who
inspire you the most. What do they have that you don’t? What is it that
makes you and other people drawn to them? Surely it is not just about
physical looks. When we are talking about success in business, a person’s
physicality does not really matter. So, there’s something else. Maybe:-
(i) These people are more self-confident than you are,
(ii) These people are able to do things by themselves in a much
better way than you can,
(iii) These people are able to speak and communicate in a better way,
(iv) These people have a better sense of humor,
(v) These people are friendlier
…and so on. These are the things that really build their personality. Analyze
which of these traits they have and try to emulate them in your own personality.
Even if you take one positive trait from the influential people that you meet and
work them in your own personality, you can see how your life will be improved.
The second source – and a very considerable source too – to hone your
personality is through books. Some of the best sellers of the world have been
personality development books. Some names that come to mind without any
effort are:-
(i) How to win Friends and influence People
(ii) Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
(iii) The Secret
(iv) Who moved my Cheese?
(v) Rich Dad, Poor Dad
(vi) The entire Chicken Soup series of books
These are just a few examples. Go to the nearest bookstore and you will find
so many titles. Even if currently you think that books cannot teach you anything,
you must make an attempt at least. Read any one of these titles and you will
see how they can influence your way of thinking. You won’t have to do anything
special, but these books will add to the richness of your life.
Improving personality is not something that you can start and then stop; it has
to be an ongoing process. Start learning from these sources and you will see
that you reach where you want to.
I am a believer in the study & practice of personal development. If
you are ready to begin improving yourself, subscribe to the blog so,
you will find out about what is working & what books to read.

Are Home Parties Still Relevant?
Do people like to still have fun & gather with families
& friends? I know I do as well as you do also. It seems
like they are getting together more now than they did
before.
I believe that social media has brought us out of our
self imposed prisions.
What is a home party? A home party or a party plan is a network
marketing gathering at the home of a distributor (known as the host).
This business model is made popular many decades ago by a
company called Tupperware. It works by having a party host organize
a Tupperware party and they invite their friends and neighbors to their
homes to see their product line. According to the company’s policy,
the host who organizes the home party is given lots of free products
based on the number of orders taken or the level of sales made during
the party. These parties also take place in offices, schools/colleges
and even in community groups such as country clubs and churches as well.
In fact, these home parties have extended (but are not limited) to product
lines such as lingerie, computer and video games and even sex toys!
Today, the biggest concern for the 21st century is – are home parties still
relevant in the Google era? With the introduction of YouTube, you can virtually
see an entire product demo unfold right before your eyes. In fact you do not
even need to drive out of your house (to the host’s home) to watch the
product demo there.
So are home parties still relevant? In my opinion, the answer is yes and no.
You have to learn to be savvier when it comes to organizing home parties.
Simply just sending out to invitation cards and pestering your friends and
neighbors to come to your home party isn’t as easy anymore because people
are getting wiser. They are aware of your ‘schemes’ and they know more and
more about MLM.
When you want to pitch your product, you have to be able to engage it in
such a way that doesn’t look like you are hard selling or obliging others to
buy your product.
On the other hand, when you consider that the Internet is a place that is devoid
of the persona, face to face interaction, you will begin to wonder if being virtual
is the best way to go or not? There are some things that only the personal touch
can achieve, like giving prospects the comfort for them to make a decision.
Sometimes, the prospect needs to see and touch the actual product in order to
decide if that is the thing that they want to buy.
The best solution is to combine both elements for your home party. You can try
running an online ad to gather leads, you record your own YouTube video to show
people how the product benefits and finally invite them to your house in order to
do the product demo, right after the autoresponder has helped you to build a
relationship.

How to Get Everything Done in Your Day
If you are like me, you have way too many things to do
in your day then you have time to do them. For this reason
I had to get a simply system to get stuff accomplished. I am
sharing it with you in the hopes that you will benefit from
it as I have.
Does the idea of completing your task list every day sound impossible?
For many people, the task list is so long they need a legal pad to make
their list. The result is a never ending list and that missing feeling of
accomplishment. Instead, with a few quick tips, you can find pride and
satisfaction every day by completing your list. Here’s how:
Step #1 Make a List
If you haven’t created a habit of making a daily, weekly, and monthly
“to do” list it’s time to embrace the habit. This system of organization
helps you track everything you need to accomplish. It ensures you
stay productive and efficient. And let’s face it, it’s much better than
starting your day with a head scratch as you try to figure out what you
need to focus on first.
Step #2 Prioritize
Now, taking a look at that list you made for your daily, weekly, and
monthly tasks, rank them in order of priority. What are the most
important tasks for your business? What tasks can you, and only
you, accomplish? What tasks will help you grow your business,
make money, and thrive?
Step #3 Eliminate
Now this may sound dramatic but it’s important. Chances are there
are items on your task list that just don’t belong there. Either they can be:
Accomplished by someone else – Outsource or delegate tasks that take
too much time, don’t fit into your schedule, and don’t directly affect your
income. Automated – Embrace technology! There are so many tasks that
can be automated. For example, bill paying. You can automate your bill
paying and save yourself hours each month.
Delayed – How many of the tasks on your list really need to be done
right now? For example, you might have errands and chores on that list.
Chances are they can be saved for the evening hours or for the weekend. Or
you might be able to buddy up with someone and swap errands. They go to
the office supply store and buy items for the both of you and you head to the
post office and handle the shipping for the both of you.
Flat out eliminated – How many tasks on your list can simply be eliminated?
Chances are there are at least a few. If you struggle with this, try letting go of
one task. Just get rid of it and see what happens.
Finally, as you take a look at your shorter daily task list it’s important to keep
the items in order of priority. Focus on the most important, and profitable,
tasks first. Then focus on the lesser tasks once you’re finished. You’ll find that
your days are much more productive. You’ll finally get to enjoy the feeling of
throwing away that daily task list with a sense of satisfaction.

Prospecting Strategies: Divide and Conquer
Many network marketing reps struggle as far as prospecting is concerned.
One of the reasons why they are so uncomfortable when approaching their
friends is because they are fighting an uphill battle against their group of friends.
Granted, it is very difficult when you are doing it alone. After all, peer pressure
is against you and the only way you can successfully convince your friends to
join your network marketing is if you and another partner are working as a team.
The first and most notable example of working together as a team is with your
spouse or your significant other.
The man will usually talk business, because most prospects usually perceive
the man as the one holding the authority (not that women are inferior, but they
have more powerful ROLES in different areas).
The women on the other hand, will do well trying to relate to the prospect
through products and services.
With that said, don’t fight to be the boss – learn to examine the situation.
This sort of tag team prospecting is even more effective when dealing with
couples because while the man talks about business plans in the living room,
the women can chat all about products in the kitchen.
If you do not have a partner, you can always pair up with your upline or a side
line (sometimes, it even works with downlines… after all, there is power in
numbers). If your upline and you know a mutual friend, greatest leverage you
have to convince a common friend to sign up is to use social leverage (after
all, ‘everyone else’ is in… what about you?) This works even well if your upline
has credibility and is someone who is well respected, you will have better
chances for success.
The most important thing is to make sure you do not do this business alone.
Network marketing is a business that puts you in business for yourself, but you
are NOT going to work by yourself. Trying to go solo in your network marketing
business is suicidal because if your downlines try and pick it up, they will each
do things their own way (solo) and you will have a heck of a problem when your
group reaches a large number.
Another reason why it is very difficult to work alone is because you don’t have all
the time in the world to go running around prospecting and taking care of all your
downlines at the same time. You need to share the load and give some credit to
your downlines as they look out for one another when you are not around.
You are in business for yourself, but not BY yourself. You must learn to divide and
conquer as you work together with your uplines, downlines, sidelines and even the
staff in the company. When your prospect see you walk down the isle and the
managers and staff are all waving to you, it gives you a lot of credibility (when they
wave to you and you go, “By the way, that’s the managing director of the company…”)
Remember, there is strength in numbers.

The Choices We Make
Let me ask you, are you living the life of your dreams?
Now really think back to when you where a child & you
use to think about what you where going to do or be when
you grew up. Did you make that happen?
If you are like most people the answer is no you aren't living
the life you want to be experiencing. Again like most people
you are probably blaming everything or everyone else for
you not being able to have the time of your life.
Well, I am here to tell you that it is you that has kept you from
all that you desire. You see it is only you that can make it happen
so, if it doesn't then it is you who kepted it from happening.
Now you may be wondering how can I say that, I don't know
what you have gone thru or experiencing right now. To that I
say, it doesn't matter because I have learned that whatever
we are going thru is the outcome of the choices we have made.
It's really simple if you think about it. You have to make
hundreds of choices a day if not more & it can be a huge
undertaking. However, it is you that are making these
choices so it is you that is creating the reality that you
are living in right now.
You may even think that this isn't completely true because
on some issues you don't make a choice. Well let me tell
you that is a choice in itself.
Look I know becasue I have lived thru his for a long time &
have researched looking for the answer to why I did not have
what I wanted. That's when I realized that what I get out of life
is what I put into it.
If I did not choose to do the things needed to be done to get
what I wanted then how could I exspect to get them. That is
what you have to do in order to have some fun in your life.
Here' a way to fix the problem so you will start living the life
you dreamed about.
* Decide on what it is you want,
*Make a plan to get it
*Start working the plan; Take ACTION
Make adjustments along the way but stay at it until it
is done. Make sure the choices you make now are
moving you towards your dream. It is either moving
you away from it or towards it; you decide which way.

Now really think back to when you where a child & you

Get Your Money Back!
When you go into business you do it create profits so
you can pay the bills & have enough left over to fulfill
your dreams, right?
Well, one of the key indicators in deciding on an
opportunity or making an equipment purchase is what
is your ROI going to be. Basically what is the Return On
Investment going to work out to.
You calculate it by dividing how many of an item you
have to sell or members to join divided into what it cost
you to get started. For example say it cost you $200 to get
into your program & you can earn $25 for each person that
you get to come in.Well we would take 200/25 & that tells us
that we need to bring 8 people in to recoup our investment.
You probably though I was talking about retuning your
purchase to get your money back & no that wasn't it.
If that is the case then you should not have made the
purchase in the first place.
Do not take a long time to do this either. The longer it
takes you to achieve this goal the longer it will be before
you are making any profits. The reason that is becasue
you aren't taking any action which leads to fear & doubt.
You let them two setttle in your mind & you might as well
as close up shop. Do not let them steal your dreams as they
have so many others.
Time does not wait on anyone and as they say "time is money"
in business. So, your first order of business after you get in is
getting setup,determining what it will take to get your roi, &
then taking ACTION to get it done.

How to Grab Your Reader’s Attention with Your First Sentence
Did you know that you have less than twenty seconds to grab your
reader’s attention? Once you have it, you have to keep it of course.
However, the truth of the matter is that once they’ve made a decision
to continue reading, it’s easier to hold their attention. So the first few
sentences matter. They may be the most important words you write.
So how do you hook them? How do you grab your reader’s attention?
#1 Ask a Question
One of the easiest ways to capture attention is to get your reader
immediately involved. You can do this by asking a question. They
person will read the question and answer it for themselves or guess
at an answer. By doing this, they become invested in the answer. Were
they right? Did they make the right guess? Did the information you
provided back them up or did they learn something new?
#2 Share a Statistic, Preferably One That Evokes Emotion
People enjoy data. It helps them make sense of the world around them.
And data can be used to make a very strong point. In fact, did you know
that one in five articles and blog posts written online starts with a statistic?
Not really - just providing you with an example of how a statistic can be used.
You can use statistics to evoke emotion too. Tapping into guilt, fear, and hope
can pull your reader right into your article or blog post.
#3 Quotable
Do you love quotes? Many people do. So much so that Facebook, Twitter,
and Pinterest are inundated with thousands of them daily. Start your content
off with a quote to pull the reader in. It gets them thinking right away and tends
to arouse curiosity.
#4 Share a Joke or Funny Story
Humorous posts are often shared online with others. If you want to motivate
others to share your content, as well as read the full article, consider starting
with a funny story. If you find writing humor to be a challenge, consider simply
sharing a funny comic strip that relates to your topic.
#5 Make a Promise
Finally, consider getting right to the point. Tell your reader what you can do
for them and what they’ll gain by reading your article. A wise businesswoman
once said, “tell them what you’re going to tell them. Tell them. Then tell them
what you told them.” It’s a simple template for a consistently effective article
or blog post.

It's Time to Turn Pro
Well, the first 90 days of the new year have pass us by & have
you achieved all that you wanted to during this time? If you are
like most people the answer is heck no. Admit it because you
know it is true. I came up short myself & that is not a good starting
point.
It's like I tell me children at the beginning of every school year,
start off getting high grades now. That way you do not have to
work so hard to pull them up later.
Well it is time for us to: Grow Up - Get Serious.
But have you ever taken the time to really think of the impact and
importance of those four words on your life.
April 1st has arrived, the second quarter has begun, and it is
with that milestone in mind that I wanted to talk with you about
the key decision you must make in order to get your life, career
and business on the fast track of explosive growth.
One thing about successful people is that at some point in their
life, each one has looked in the mirror and decided that once and
for all...
they were done playing games...
they were done settling for table scraps...
they were done accepting excuses from themselves and others...
they were done standing by idly on the sideline while other people
that they did not perceive as being as bright nor as talented lived
in nicer homes and enjoyed a better quality of life.
It was at that moment that they decided to GET SERIOUS about being
a mother, father, spouse, boss, teacher, leader or student.
All the GREAT ones have had this conversation.
So, let's talk about you...
If your performance was lackluster in the first quarter, what are
you going to do differently to redeem yourself and ensure bigger,
better results in the second quarter?
If you continue on as you have been without making any changes, do
you seriously believe that life will get better?
It won't.
In fact, if you choose to continue on in the second quarter with
the same strategies, same attitude, and same level of effort that
you put forth in the first quarter, the only thing you can count
on is MORE of the same.
STOP FOOLING AROUND
C'mon, both you and I know that for things to get better, you
must step it up, get serious, raise your standards, and play a
much better game. And, I'd like to show you how.
If you have ever felt that you have the talent, skills, and
potential to completely dominate your market, crush your
competitors, and make huge quantum leap gains in your performance,
but for some reason, you have not put it all together, then do
yourself a favor and join me and the more than 280,000 people
worldwide who have participated in this extraordinary program.

You really owe it to yourself to see what's on the other side
of this link as it's a real game changer and your ticket to the
good life.
http://www.goalsguy.com/
P.S. What you receive when you turn pro, and get serious about your
life is you find out that you really are tougher than you think you
are; and that you can achieve far more than you ever allowed
yourself to enjoy. It's go time!
