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.

Network Marketers can be challenged Read the rest of this entry »

Life is a challenging thing. MLM and Network Marketing will challenge you like nothing has before!

It’s a challenge to get up when your alarm goes off…it’s a challenge to go out to work everyday not really knowing what to expect…it’s a challenge to pick up the phone and make that follow-up call…it’s a challenge to start conversations with strangers.

But…it’s what’s called a “zero sum” game.

You get back what you put in.

Sometimes you have to give that little bit more…push yourself that little bit harder…in order to set yourself up for the breakthroughs that will come your way.   And if your persistent, they always come your way in Network Marketing.

Life isn’t easy. Sure it can be made easier…but usually at the expense of what you really want to achieve.

Action Point:

Are you taking out more than you put in?

Try pushing your comfort boundaries and you will be surprised at how easy it is to ‘raise the bar’ and keep pushing even further.

This doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to work harder…just smarter. Work on yourself…use technology to automate routine tasks…and focus on quality instead of quantity.

In his brilliant book, “A Brief History of Time,” Professor Stephen Hawking opens with the story of a well-known scientist who gave a public lecture on astronomy. The scientist described how the moon orbits the earth, the earth orbits the sun, and how our solar system orbits around the center of the galaxy. When he finished, a little old lady got up and said, “What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise.”

The scientist gave a knowing smile and replied, “What is the tortoise standing on?”

“You’re very clever, young man, very clever,” she replied. “But it’s turtles all the way down!”

We all know people like that little old lady. The point is, why try to convince them otherwise? If they believe that the universe is a big stack of turtles—or that all network marketing opportunities are illegal pyramids—nothing you present to the contrary is going to change their belief.

Goals are supposed to be motivating, aren’t they?

But if you’re not careful, there is one trap that can transform a magnificent goal into an overwhelming obstacle.  I know all too well, because I’ve been trying to blast through, climb over, or go around one of those obstacles myself for the last few months.

Many times goals are pretty straightforward and require little more than your consistent commitment to action. Then there are times when we set BIG, complex goals that take us where we’ve never been before. Those goals that have us blazing a path where no one has gone before require us to gather a team of experts to bring the goal to reality.   Look to your upline (s) and even your MLM Company for that team of experts.

The same trap is always there, but with these BIG goals this stumbling block can become like a black hole that sucks anything nearby into the abyss - including your energy, motivation and momentum. Read the rest of this entry »

Are you REALLY ready to make the effort in your MLM business to change your life?

It’s all very well saying it…but are you backing it with some cold, hard effort?

YOU…and you alone have the power to get what you want…and choose who and where you want to be. But first, you must be totally honest with yourself.

You must ask yourself if you really, truly want to do something about changing your life.  You chose an MLM Company, you chose an MLM product or service, you have an upline for guidance, so are you making the most of it all?  Read the rest of this entry »

Do you ever get a feeling that your entire MLM Team is in Procrastination?  Let’s see if we can pull together and help those we work with by identifying your issues and then theirs.

Success Tip #1:
The actions you execute each and every day are your choice and under your control.

If you’re anything like I was, you’ll relate to the piles of paper that build up, and tasks you never seem to get the time to complete. All the little things around the house that need to be completed, along with the annoyance and frustration they cause.

Interestingly enough, the more responsibilities I take on, the more I knew I needed to tackle that dirty little habit.  I knew that it would become a severe limiter on my success if I let this all too common habit permeate my life.

And that’s all procrastination really is - a bad habit.

Success Tip #2:
The good news is that if you can develop bad habits, you can also develop good ones!

All you need to do to get started on creating success habits, is to have desire. Read the rest of this entry »

Leadership is about change. If you need no change, you need no leader. In times of change, people seek out more and better MLM leaders. Those successful sought-out leaders embrace the following thought: “The best reformers the world has ever known are those who began with themselves.”

Mahatma Gandhi said, “We must be the change that we envision.” Tolstoy said, “Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.”

The following comments are about personal change:

1. One person cannot change another person. Read the rest of this entry »
