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.

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 »

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 »

This past week I read the amazing story of LuAn Mitchell, one of Canada’s great entrepreneurs. Her story will never be a movie because no one would believe it!

Pregnant at 16, later a beauty queen who married a man even after they found out he had a life-threatening disease, single mom, and CEO of (believe it or not) one of Canada’s largest meat packing companies, she has an astonishing story of perseverance and accomplishment.

How did she do it? And, what can we learn from people like LuAn who overcome the odds and get results most of us only dream of?

I think there are at least four basic principles that MLM distributors can keep in mind.

The basics are just that, the BASICS! Too often we get caught in the busy-ness of life and we either forget to monitor the first principles of success, or we get over-confident and think we can re-invent the basics, but there are no “new fundamentals.” The fundamentals have not changed. We either take care of business, or we struggle.  (Or we count on “luck” to save the day…never a smart plan.)

So, what are the basics? Read the rest of this entry »
