Perseverance is about as important to achievement as gasoline is to driving a car. Sure, there will be times when you feel like you’re spinning your wheels, but you’ll always get out of the rut with genuine perseverance. Without it, you won’t even be able to start your engine.

The opposite of perseverance is procrastination. Perseverance means you never quit. Procrastination usually means you never get started, although the inability to finish something is also a form of procrastination.

Ask people why they procrastinate and you’ll often hear something like this: “I’m a perfectionist. Everything has to be just right before I can get down to work. No distractions, not too much noise, no telephone calls interrupting me, and of course I have to be feeling well physically, too. I can’t work when I have a headache.” The other end of procrastination - being unable to finish - also has a perfectionist explanation: “I’m just never satisfied. I’m my own harshest critic. If all the i’s aren’t dotted and all the t’s aren’t crossed, I just can’t consider that I’m done. That’s just the way I am, and I’ll probably never change.”

Let’s focus on finding the solutions and strategies you need to make your MLM dreams come true. You have a dream – now lets ask, How are you going to make it come true?

Success requires that we ask practical, powerful, positive questions every day.

Almost all human behavior is the result of asking and answering a question. Whether we realize it or not, when we adjust the thermostat, we are taking action based on the question, “How can I make this room more comfortable?”

Similarly, when we stand in front of the cabinet or refrigerator, we are often hoping to answer the question, “What will satisfy my hunger?”

In the same way, our personal and business decisions are the result of answering questions we ask ourselves. Typically, we choose a career based on questions such as, “What would I love to do?” or “What are my skills?”. Sometimes we select a job based on questions like, “What opportunities are available?” or, “Where can I get a job to support myself and my family?” Read the rest of this entry »

When you began your MLM business you probably started by making a list of people you know.  That is always a good start because you are only looking for a few Key People and it should come from those you Know, Like and Trust. 

I have always found that after making the list I prefer to categorize people because some on my list I wouldn’t want to work with.  That should not preclude you from sharing the product with them (I don’t believe anyone would be offended if you make some money because they made a purchase of something they’d never know about if you didn’t tell them!)  Everyone you know can benefit from the products or service, but they may not make a great MLM business partner or Team mates.  That is YOUR decision and it is important you understand the responsibility you have each time you choose to enroll someone on your MLM Team!

When your talking to people, you will find some are naturally a perfect fit for your MLM product/service and you just aren’t sure if they would make a good fit for your MLM Team.  In fact, they might be quite anxious to get started with your MLM Product and you aren’t necessarily ready to discuss a partnership with them. 

Let’s get back to the list you made Read the rest of this entry »

Recently one of my distributors asked me what she should do about all the guilt she is feeling.  It seems she was getting feedback from some friends that she was so focused on her MLM business that she wasn’t spending as much time with them.  When she talked about what she was doing you could just hear her enthusiasm, her desire to learn and grow and how excited she was about the future.  She is still a fairly new distributor and when we initially talked she had mentioned her extensive friendships and all the good times they have had together. 

Whatever situation you are in - you must always look ‘after number one’ (yourself) first.

We weren’t put on this earth to be unhappy and miserable because of how other people affect us. We are here to enjoy ourselves, to have fun, and to make the most of what natural talents we have been given. Read the rest of this entry »

Do you remember how you felt when you walked out of school or college for the last time?

No more learning, and revising for exams EVER again! BIG mistake!

The great Charlie “Tremendous” Jones summed it up very well when he said “You are the same today as you’ll be in five years, except for two things: the people you meet, and the books you read.”

So if you stop meeting people, and stop learning, your life will be in the same condition in five years time as it is today. Read the rest of this entry »

What’s really neat about doing what you love is that it releases a huge amount of energy, enthusiasm and zest for living. It frees up your creativity and adds a vibrancy to your being that you take with you wherever you go and into whatever you are doing.

Putting your attention and focus on ideas and in areas that capture your imagination sweeps you up and carries you along on a wave of excitement that will power you towards your MLM dreams. What could be more joyous than that?

Doing what you love is much more than a leap in the right direction, it’s a vital brick on your road to freedom.

However, because we tend to be so caught up in the pressures and stresses of our everyday life we probably rarely think about what we’re doing with our time and energy spent in building our MLM business. And if we do it is often only a fleeting thought before our dreams become buried beneath a mountain of must do’s, obligations and responsibilities until we no longer know they are there.

Ask yourself the following questions to help you unearth your true MLM skills and talents. 

7 Questions To Find Out Where Your Heart Lies within your MLM:

1. What are you intuitively attracted to? 
2. What makes time fly for you? 
3.  What things do you accomplish easily, seemingly without effort? 
4.  What do you catch yourself thinking about in unguarded moments? 
5.  What do you easily become immersed in, what absorbs your attention totally? 
6.  Where do your day dreams take you? 
7.  What is the one thing that more than anything else you keep coming back to?

Make a note of the answers as they come to you. Don’t force yourself to find answers but keep the list handy and listen for that inner voice that knows you so well. It will gladly reveal what is in your heart and help you to discover the talents and skills so you can have fun while fulfilling your MLM goals.

It is a well-documented fact that the players who hold the record for the highest goals, hits, or baskets also miss more than other players.

Some even hold the record for both!

Why? Well, they know that the only way they are going to ’score’ is by attempting to in the first place. They know that they WILL score on a certain percentage of their efforts - so they shoot as much as they can.

Remember…missing only means that you are one step closer to scoring.
