I hope you're having a fantastic week. If you're not, then just hang in there. When you keep doing 'the right thing', you're bound to meet with success.

It's Natural Law.

Keep this in mind though: things work out according to the good of everyone, not just you. Excessive pushing or trying to force your way into greater success only delays things even more.

So, do your best to relax and know that whatever area of your life you're working on right now (dealing with debt, improving your marriage, wanting to change careers, finding your own voice...)

Whatever area it is...success is already YOURS.

You just have to keep you've already planted; give them love and attention every day..then watch for the results to show themselves.

We 'Claimed Our Power' With , and Others While In Atlanta

The 'Claim Your Power Now' seminar this past weekend at the Sheraton in Atlanta was just POWERFUL.

Laura and I had a chance to share some time with Jim Rohn (' mentor); as Jim recalled a pivotal moment in his life when he had 'turned the corner'. He was 25 when he realized a wealth formula...when he was shown that you actually can increase your income by 10-fold, and then by 10-fold again, and again!

Do you know there are people, right now as I write this, that are making $125,000 AN HOUR? Mindboggling but true.

If you're increasing your income by 3% once or twice a year, then you unfortunately are on the WRONG track and it's going to take you a hundred years to reach your goals.

And it's not just about the money either: if you have the to be receiving 3% pay raises, it's very possible you have that same mindset in your relationships and other areas of your life too.

Every multimillionaire I know recommends the same book as being key to their road to success: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.

So if you haven't read it, I highly recommend you get a copy on or for a few bucks. If you already read it several times, read it again. Why not?

Reading is just a part of the success formula, though. You also need to 'speak your future into existence', as my good friend John Di Lemme says. Express your goals and dreams in the here and now...because the power of the word can get you to where you want to be...and fast.

Then of course, there's my all-time favorite:

ACTION!

Face a fear, take an action, make something happen today.

Will you probably get andquot;butterfliesandquot; in your stomach? You can almost count on it. Will it be worth it?

DEFINITELY.

By the way, have you ever heard the expression, andquot;the sky's the limitandquot;?

Well it is: but only if you let it be! Why not aim even higher? Aim as high as you like. But remember:

* To make a thousand sales, you have to make the first one. * To have more love in your life, you have to choose one more act of love than you did yesterday. * To be able to live your dreams, you have to first DECIDE to live them...not someone else's like we sometimes do. * To have more free time, you have to allow other people to help you and take over some of your time consuming tasks.

Jim Rohn, Brian Tracy, Jay Abraham, Dan Kennedy and Bob Proctor, among many others, all had to travel down the success path and face challenges along the way.

My recommendation? Get around someone who is further along than you. Invite them out to lunch, interview them, pay them for mentoring. Do whatever it takes to ensure your own success.

Ok, here's a million dollar success secret for you: whenever you can, ask people of achievement, andquot;What can I do to help you?andquot;

Because helping others is the fastest way to success.

Personally, I was fortunate enough to find and get involved in the network at the age of twenty. I feel like I understand the emotions, aggravations and frustrations that young people go through in our industry.

You must understand that your age doesn't have as much to do with the aggravations and you think it does. The #1 frustration ALL go through is not being able to get people to do, that which we want them to do!

The number one doubt facing young people is; will it ever happen for me? Am I ? Are there other things I should be doing with my life and on?

You have to understand, if you are willing to do what is necessary, namely get through the numbers, IT WILL HAPPEN FOR YOU! You must be willing to prospect on a daily and weekly basis and you must master how to create leads within your local area.

The name of the game is sorting through people. Armatures try to convince, professionals sort. You are simply looking for the right people, at the in their life! The more prospects you go through on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis, the more people you will find at the right time in their life to get involved with your business.

Age doesn't matter, it is all about timing. The right people will look past your age and to the opportunity! Please re-read that statement The RIGHT PEOPLE, will look past your age and to the opportunity!

Over the past 25 years I have heard hundreds of testimonies from successful network marketers in dozens of companies that go something like this=85=85=85.

-The kid use to work for me, now he was driving a Viper, I had to see what he was doing

-The girl use to go to school with my daughter and five years out of high school she is in my neighborhood.

I heard she was paying cash for it and I still had a mortgage, naturally I had to find out what she was doing.

-I was coming home from another long week on the road, when I met this young man in the airport on his way to the Super Bowl.

When I asked what he did, he said he didn't have a job!

Your darn right I was going to watch the DVD he gave me.

And on and on and on.

I believe that when a young person becomes successful, it is easier to do the business and attract people.

Your age can become your biggest asset, the number one thing that draws corporate burnt out 40 something's to your organization.

So don't play with the business, if you are going to do it. Do it as quickly as possible and get it over with. Success is numbers. Become a master at getting though the numbers and success is GUARNATEED!

Yes, I said guaranteed! One of the turn arounds for me was when I realized I couldn't fail. Jim Rohn taught me though audio, that the LAW OF AVERAGES would work for anyone, including me. When I made up my mind that I was willing to go through the numbers to reach my goals, everything changed.



I always knew this intellectually, but I never got it grounded in my heart and soul until I heard Jim Rohn.

Years later I had Mr. Rohn come and speak for our organization and share his LAW OF AVERAGES and 3 BASIC LAWS TRAINING, It was awesome!

By the way you can get a copy of the training at http://www.3BasicLaws.com and I highly recommend it.

A WORD OF WARNING! I believe that single minded focus is one of the most important factors of success. In today's world there are more distractions than ever before. Everyday your inbox is full of the latest and greatest opportunities. As a young person you have grown up with constant mental stimulation from video games, ipods, educational CD ROMs, and the list goes on and on.



So find an upline mentor that knows what they are doing and master their system. If you are not fortunate enough to have a great upline mentor, hire a coach with a PROVEN TRACK RECORD, it will be the best money you ever invest and cut years off of your training curve.



You have to get focused and stay focused.

You must be talking to NEW prospects daily, weekly and monthly. You can not get wrapped up in who buys, who doesn't buy, who joins or who doesn't join! The Law of Average and Timing will take care of that. You just have to focus on keeping your funnel full of fresh new prospects.

When family or friends suggest going somewhere different, doing something differently than it has been done in the past -- do you jump in with both feet or drag those feet because you want to do the same thing you have always done?

Often the reasons we drag our feet is we do not believe enough in ourselves to step out and do something differently. We will come up with a variety of reasons or excuses why we do not want to just do it. Are you stuck in that rut in any area of your life? , doing something differently or modifying the way we do something is a way of practicing our way out of that rut. Or to be put another way "Get out of our own way."

Do you have a hope, dream or desire about your life? What will you life look like in five years, do you know? Have you even thought about it? Many people spend more time planning their next vacation than they do the rest of their lives. Many of us who went to college or university put a lot of thought into what degree we were going to study for, then after that we simply quit planning. Allow our life to be run by chance, doing whatever it is that comes along or taking the . Just think if you were to plan your life like you do your vacations you could retire a millionaire.

Planning is one of the ways we can build up belief in ourselves. When we set out the plan, develop small or large to take us there and then complete those steps and achieve our we are also building that belief in ourselves. We did it! We got it done, accomplished the task.

I will always remember when, after 10 years, I received my Diploma in . The to complete the required courses was done by setting out a plan, developing daily action steps and the just doing it. Like many other adults who receive diplomas later on in life I could have come up with many reasons or excuses why I could not accomplish the task. Instead I created my plan and just did it. Now it was not always easy, but I knew what benefits I would receive once I attained the goal and that assisted me in keeping going when times were rough. Each step that took me closer to the goal also increased my belief in myself, I was accomplishing the task.

Building belief in ourselves is a life long process. If our upbringing reinforced our belief that we could do whatever we set our minds to then we likely do. Unfortunately most of us have not had that type of upbringing; as a result we have some learning to do. We must teach ourselves how to build up that belief and it starts with making the decision.

One of the most effective decisions we can make is to stop taking advice from people who are not successful. How many times have we turned to a friend, family or neighbor who is in a worse or similar situation for advice? It is like the blind leading the blind, we turn to people we are comfortable with and they are not necessarily the person who will have the information we need to improve our situation. We all make decisions on a daily basis as to whom we listening to, are we receiving good advice or information.

I have found that the best course of action is to find a mentor or coach, follow someone who has already walked the path you wish to travel. This can be done with books, CD's, DVD's, teleclasses, workshops or one on one or any combination of the above. The advice from one of my mentors Jim Rohn is "Get a library card". I have taken that advice and now have cards for three different libraries, it was excellent advice and I am very glad I followed it. It could be one of the action steps that would work for you too.

Daily action steps are critical to achieving the goal/dream. When you are starting out one excellent step to take is to find an accountability partner. Someone you trust will hold you accountable to what ever actions steps you say you will take. Most people fail in life because they don't answer to themselves, having an accountability partner is a very effective tool in making sure that it happens. Now you must be careful here in who you choose. Be sure to ask someone who will actually call you on issues, not someone who will be your "yes man". If you would like a strong accountability partner send me an email at Carla@RetireWithCarla.com and we can set something up.

The results we achieve in our lives are our own fault; whether they are positive or negative. It is always our choice.

Being productive during the key can mean the difference between working 30 hours a week and making a lot of money or thinking your "working" 70 hours a week and barely getting by.



Here are a few tips on how to .



First, you need to plan your day before you start it. As the great , , said "Don't start the day until it's pretty well finished."



What he means by that is you should have your entire day planned in advance so that you know what you're going to be doing for that day.

It may sound like an obvious point to make but so many people show up to work with no plan of what they're going to do that day. For many people, this carries over from their days as an employee.



I know that in my own business if I ever have a day where I haven't taken the time to sit down and write down everything I need to do that day, I get less than half of what I would have gotten done if I'd have taken the time to plan the day.

The next tip on how to be more productive is simply to plan more work for the day. Have you ever heard the saying, "If you want to get something done, give it to the busiest person you know."



This isn't just a saying but it's absolutely true. You see, busy people need to be more self disciplined with their time and will find a way to get something done.

Conversely, a person who isn't very busy and has a lot of time will tend to and do nothing since they have all the anyway.



I know that when I plan a lot of work for a single day, I'm far more productive, sometimes getting done in one day what used to take me a week simply because I have so much to do that I need to keep a little extra "spring in my step" in order to get everything on my list done that day.

Now you can take this too far and plan so much work that you'll never be able to finish it in one day, and that can be very demotivating. I'd recommend planning what seems like a lot of work, but not so much that you won't be able to finish it no matter what you do in a day.



If you have less time to waste and screw around with during your work day, you'll see your productivity soaring =96 just give it a try for a few weeks and watch how much more you get done.

With the change of seasons and the kids going back to school, isn't time you did something for your self?

Are you like me? Always looking for more knowledge to sharpen my skills, and to improve my business and personal skills. Everyday that I want to I can go to my computer and learn from the greats of many different industries. People like Jim Rohn, Mike Filsaime, Joe Sugarman, Dennis Waitley, Cyndi Mcdonald and many others that are well respected in their field. Learning from successful people like these is priceless. The benefit I will be able to use for the rest of my life. Hey the Kids are learning new skills, why not us?

Learning has never been easier, just log on to your home computer and take a course for self improvement. Whether you want to learn about Real Estate, Business, Marketing, Motivation, or just about anything else that you have always wanted to learn. What if with less than an hour a day you can learn a new career or improve on the one you're in now. It has never, ever been so convenient to self improve. Where ever you have access to the Internet, you can tap into all kinds of wonderful successful leaders in many fields of expertise.

What happens when things aren't going well in your business? What happens when your sponsor quits? What happens when your most member decides business is no longer a priority? What happens when your business starts going backwards?

Well... that answer is easy. Have a !

Call your other team members and cry foul! "It's not my fault! ran out on me. He should not have quit. What am I going to do now? Don't you leave!"

Perhaps you could spend that evening blaming everyone and everything else. "If only I had a better sponsor. If only the company would launch that new product they have been talking about. I've got to get my going!"

Then the next day, call another team member and continue your pity party.

Believe it or not; that is the you can do. Look to the outside, it is easy to point the finger (to use an over used cliché). However, it is not the right thing to do. In fact, it is the worst thing you can do if you want your business to continue on that same path.

What you really need to do is mastermind, but more on that later.

To be successful, you must do what successful people do. You have to act like the and girls. You have to take responsibility for the situation and take charge of what is going to happen next.

Is it your fault that your business is starting to slide? There are a lot of things to think about to answer that question. Some you can answer yourself, some you might need help.

Before going any further, consider that it may not be your fault at all. These things just happen. Some people just don't stay in the business...its just that simple.

So lets look at you. First of all, you must be able to question yourself and answer those tough questions. For example, if your system relies on 3 way calls to build the business, you must be able to evaluate: am I talking too much? How many questions do I actually answer?

How do you approach people? Do you have posture? Do you invite properly? Do you work with your team members correctly?

These are all tough questions. The last few questions can be hard to answer, because you may not have the experience. How do you find out if you are working your business in the best possible manner?

Reach up.

That's right; reach up, beyond your sponsor to his or hers sponsor...and ask for help. This begins the mastermind process.

"Do you have what it takes to ask for help?" Perhaps the better question is "Do you want to succeed?" If you want to succeed, then asking for help is easy. If your second upline doesn't want to help, then go to the third upline.

This is a business of leaders. Leaders are always looking for leaders. Fortunes are made when leaders work with leaders, who then work with leaders. Leaders know when to ask for help. If you want to succeed bad enough, there is an upline that wants to work with you.

I will suggest though, if your upline isn't interesting in working with you, this can be a hard business to build on your own.

Perhaps you should find another company.

Next we'll look at what to expect when working with your upline and what mastermind really means.

Though this might sound a little negative these kids will have as great opportunities in life as anyone else the difference lies in the way that they are being thought. If they are not thought in a way that will help them learn and grow then (and only then) will they be left behind!

Luckily this has been realized from an official standpoint as well and that has resulted in the "educational allowances" that has now become accessible to families with children that have a "learning disability". This has been established in order to assist the families with the extraordinary costs of giving special educational or related services to .

I can't remember the exact quote that the great uses but it is something about the are not children that has a lack in skill but merely we are seeing a lack of good teachers. How true it is!!

How we deal with the challenges The children that are different from the majority (the ones with the mental develop problems) are entitled to as part of a medical process. This process is meant to determine the degree of "disability" and therefore the amount of extra support and teaching that is considered necessary for the child to be able to lead a normal life.

The sooner this evaluation is being done the better for the child. As with all of us it is extremely important that we are always learning and that the level of education is always just of us so that we will stretch and therefore grow to become more. The earlier the intervention and the earlier the education the better will the end result eventually become.

It is a sad thing that the sociality sees these kinds as "abnormal" and that they are therefore often treated like they are not able to help themselves and in a way so that the child might feel and think that he or she is not as important and as capable as all the other children. This "treatment" will have an incredible affect on the child and might result in him or her not striving as much as they could have done and in that the "negative spiral of life" has begun. We all have an obligation to avoid this scenario.

All human being has incredible strengths inside of them and much more than most people can even imagine. Why is it that we are only using around 5-8% or our brain capacity? Every one of us (normal or abnormal) has strengths beyond our wildest dreams. All we need is to believe and act accordingly.

What parents and teachers of these kids need to understand is that they are the first in line to give the support to the child so that he or she will develop the personal strengths and the belief in themselves and their ability to become great human beings.

Often in our own lives, however, change is something we fiercely resist. Even when achievement sits on our doorstep, we're still too comfortable to make an adjustment. The very first place to look for is within. When you take ownership of yourself, your life and your income, you are on your way to harnessing success.

I learned early in my life that if things needed to change, it was up to me to change them.

I have had the great pleasure of working with , who inspired me to new levels of success and happiness. When I first met Mr. Rohn, I was sitting at a dinner table with ten other people. I grabbed a seat near him and just wanted to listen to his and conversation. When a lull in the conversation arose, I was when Mr. Rohn asked me about my goals, dreams and aspirations. In response, I began to talk about many of the roadblocks I had experienced in my pursuit of success. I listed all the reasons why I wasn't able to achieve my . I let him know who was to blame and insisted none of it was my fault. I thought I had made a pretty good case and then the hammer dropped. Jim looked at me and said, "Kurt, for things to change, you must change, and for things to get better, you must get better." That brief moment in time changed my life forever. It was then that I realized that everything I wanted in life is on the other side of change, not the other side of . I also realized that no matter the excuse (good or bad), it would not produce results.

If you want to make the same kind of transformation in your life, the first thing you have to do is take an honest look at yourself and where you are. You can't make changes if you won't acknowledge what needs to be changed. Where are you starting? What is your current situation? If you could change one thing in your life, what would it be? It is only from honestly assessing where point A is that you can develop a well-defined, well-planned route to point B. Then the next obvious thing to determine is where or at what point B is located. In other words, what exactly are you aiming for? What do you want?

Now is not the time to be timid.

Don't shortchange yourself because you want to be "careful" or "reasonable" or you don't want to "rock the boat." Shoot for the stars! You'll define the path to get there, but first you have to know what exactly you're even trying to reach. In other words, you must begin with the end result and then work your way backward. You have to know exactly where you want to go and what you need to change to get there. Sometimes, people are actually afraid of being "too" successful. To be brilliant or amazing might actually be a scary proposition. As success comes into sight, you might feel a lot of responsibility weighing down on you. So, how successful should you be? How healthy should you be? How wealthy should you be? How strong should your relationships be? Consider the following powerful quote from Nelson Mandela:

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the World.

There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us." -- 1994 Inaugural Speech

We are unique creatures. In spite of the seeds of greatness that lie within us, we seem to program ourselves to do the least amount possible to get by. That is, we often do only what is necessary to survive. I see this tendency with my students at the local university all the time. Their mentality is: What is the least amount of work I can do to pass this class? They are paying top dollar to get their education yet rarely do you see a student take advantage of all the learning that is at her/his disposal. We see symptoms of the same mental laziness, lack of progress and resistance to change in the workplace, too:

What is the least amount of work I can do to get a paycheck and not get fired? When we are in this lazy mindset, we can't find happiness, and as a result, our souls start to rust.

The challenge is that we often don't see the consequences of our behavior fast enough.

Time ticks by, and by the time we're even aware of how off course we've gotten, years have flown by. We live in a society where we want the quick fix, the easy way out.

Unfortunately, however, that is not how life works. If it takes someone five years to gain twenty pounds, why does someone else think he can completely lose it in a couple weeks? Another example is fast food. We know it's not good for us, and yet hey, nothing bad happened today after I had that super-size order of fries. The consequences of the unhealthy food will take time to manifest, but in the meantime, the instant gratification of a fast and delicious meal now overpowers concerns about the future that, in the moment, seem immaterial. Imagine if every time you ate at a fast food restaurant the consequences were immediate. You took a bite and felt a bulge near your midsection. If that were the case, it wouldn't take long before you changed your ways.

There are thousands of habits and patterns in our lives that fit the instant gratification scenario. Another example is debt. So what do we do when we're constantly confronted with such difficult choices: immediate pleasure versus future gain? What do we do about it? You would be very wise to make a habit as soon as possible of analyzing your life on at least a weekly basis. Determine what you want to change now, not after years of reinforcing the wrong habits. The saying goes, "Old habits die hard" and it's really true.

Stop destructive cycles now before the strands that bind you become impenetrable rope.

Without changing your action, your wishes and hopes will only be whims that never go anywhere. It's time for you dreams to start to bear fruit!

So, are you ready to welcome change into your life? Good! Remember, as Albert Einstein said, "You can't solve a problem with the same mind that created it." Once you have recognized the need to change and have embraced the opportunity to change, then you will need to start organizing your plan of action. Think backward. What is the big picture? What are the major phases within that big picture? What are the steps within each phase that will move you from one point to the next? It is worth pointing out here that you must be careful not to let the opinions of others dissuade you. I'm sure you've experienced this before--you've gotten yourself all excited and pumped up, you tell someone you really care about all your great plans and they barely listen or care. Or worse, they start pointing out all the reasons why your plan isn't going to work or why it's a bad idea. Crash! You can't remember the last time you felt so deflated.

I'll admit that it is hard to stay focused and persistent when people spit on your dreams. Fear of failure, fear of what others will think--these are totally normal feelings. But you can't let them debilitate you. Napoleon Hill said, "The fear of criticism robs man of his initiative, destroys his power of imagination, limits his individuality and takes away his self-reliance." You are destined for greatness. Follow your heart not the useless criticism and discouragement of those who have forgotten how to live and dream.

So many people assume that if they don't try, then they can't fail. If they don't try, no one will criticize them either. The tragedy of this mindset is that they will fail by virtue of never having even attempted to succeed. George Shinn once said, "Growth means change and change involves risks, stepping from the known to the unknown." I have always loved the phrase "jump and the net will appear." Consider the fact that most of the fears we face in life are not life-and-death matters. And yet, we are so gripped by our fears that it's almost as though they were life-and-death matters.

The next time you feel yourself paralyzed by fear, stop and honestly assess your feelings.

What is the worst thing that could really happen? Are the possible setbacks really life-or death situations, or are they just opportunities to learn and grow, even if they are sometimes unpleasant or painful? Reflect on the fact that almost all successful people have their stories about where they came from and what they had to go through to achieve success. What's more, it's rarely a rosy picture. It might also be worth asking yourself what the worst thing is that could happen if you do nothing. Chances are the consequences might be more severe in the case of inaction versus action. Either way, there is a price to be paid. Do you want regrets or do you want results? We say no to some things because we are saying yes to other things. You just need to be sure you know what hangs in the balance either way. Sometimes it is the realization of the imminent, stark reality hitting us in the face that provides the momentum for change. Whatever the motivator is, just don't let fear stop you from forging ahead. Kurt Mortensen's trademark is Magnetic Persuasion; you should attract customers, just like a magnet attracts metal filings.

This is true even if you're still experiencing regular periods.

You see, as you approach menopause your body's hormone levels are declining, thus causing many changes to occur. As your estrogen levels decline, your body will naturally look for other places from where to get the needed estrogen. Unfortunately, fat cells are capable of producing estrogen, which results in your body working harder to convert calories to fat.

In addition to the declining levels of estrogen, your body's are also declining. As you may know, testosterone is the hormone that converts your calories to lean muscle mass. Obviously, with lower testosterone levels you're now losing muscle mass. Since muscle burns far more calories than does fat, your body is no longer capable of the way it used to.

If you're willing to put your discipline into high gear you will undoubtedly lose the weight you've gained due to declining hormone levels associated with menopause. It's important that you understand what's taking place inside your body so that you're well aware that simply cutting calories will not significantly reduce or eliminate the weight around your mid-section. You must build muscle to turn your body into a calorie-burning machine. You needn't be extreme, but an exercise routine that includes weight training at least three days a week will give you results that will astonish you.

You need to specify your goals. This is your "why" for starting your online business. You have to be specific in your goal. For example, my goal is to earm a monthly income of $50000 in half a year in my . State the reasons that you need to achieve your goal. Is it because of the need for a second income or a desire to be rich, or simply being dissatisfied with their current day-job and wanting to tell the boss that his service is not needed anymore (, I don't need your service anymore)? Or is it because of the flexibility in your time management - more with your children and do the things that you have always wanted to do. Personally, I start my internet business so that I can provide for my family and not going in a restaurant and take a look at the price list first, or saying no to my wife's asking "Dear, can we go to the Mediterranean this ?" Also, I do not want to miss seeing my children grow up by not away for a job. I want to be a mentor to my children so they will never live a life of poverty and mediocrity.

So, write a short statement setting out your vision for your online business and read it it often. Inject excitement about this and breathe life into this written vision statement. You can place this in your bedroom or dashboard of your car and read it daily. Every time you read your goal, it makes an imprint on your and creates your vision. Put an for each goal as it will influence your subconscious mind to make you succeed.

Next, invest yourself in a personal development course. This is necessary as personal stagnation is the cause of decay and failure in most people's lives. There is a quote from Jim Rohn - "Formal education will make you a living, but self education will make you a fortune". Success University provides an excellent personal development program by means of online and audio training. They provide monthly achievement courses which enable you to get re-inspired. They give training on success principles and goal settings which give you the motivation you will need to achieve success in your online business. Many high goal achievers are members of Success University. Spend some time in attending their conference calls, a proven way of maintaining interest and motivation in your internet business. What these conference calls do is to cultivate a positive attitude in you as success is in the mind.This method has been practiced in traditional networking companies, where like-minded people who are positive and goal-oriented, mingle with one another sharing their experiences and knowledge. So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and motivate yourself!

Here is what I have learned to do to avoid some of the ""

AVOID PITFALLS

1. Have a strong "why". If you do not have a deeply felt, personal, "gut level" reason for wanting to accomplish your goal, you will struggle. Do whatever it takes to get it. Your why is not: get out of debt, retire early, etc. Your why is that deep level emotional and spiritual reason why you want to accomplish your goal.

2. Learn to dream. I have a dream board and paste pictures of the house I want to live, car I want to drive, where I want to vacation.

3. Treat your business like a business. That means you must learn how to and must always behave as a professional. It is not a hobby.

4. Act lime a small business owner and people will treat you like one.

5. Study, practice and teach business fundamentals. I have made it a daily practice to learn study and apply best practices in business networking, small business/home business accounting, taxes, prospecting, internet etiquette, approaching and so forth.

6. Study, practice and teach . says the reason for accomplishing a goal is what it will make of you as a person. I read a book per week, listen to CDs, teleclasses and webcasts. Work harder on yourself than you do your job and your .

7. Be coachable and find a mentor. Why reinvent the wheel? Why behave like all of the other network marketers? I have three mentors who I call every day to discuss my personal development and business activities and results. I hold myself accountable and so do they.

INCREASDE YOUR SKILLS

There has never been a better time to sell products on the internet, but you must act now!

Major corporations are finding the advantages and savings of work at home employees. They do not have to be concerned about buying or leasing more building . Nor, do they have to purchase more computers. This might save a few jobs, from going over seas.

s are put in a devastating situtation, when it comes to supporting a child today. Many single women with children, are either working two jobs, or trying to work from home. This is an enormous amount of pressure upon the mother and child. Most women, never really get to see their children grow up.

A mother has a lot of work from home choices, ranging from to selling . Selling products on eBay can become an overwhelming task. Dealing with negative feedback, which can shut down your account. Not supplying shipping insurance and having to store inventory. If you try drop shipping, you might find that you can not compete, with the distributors who already sell on eBay.

There is not enough space here, to reveal the companies that rip you off on tv and online. I have a hard time believing, that people on these shows, are making a killing selling vitamins. Many are disappointed, when they get a website, that looks identical to another website. Not to say this cannot work for a while, until the market is flooded! Here lies, the real clincher! You have a website, and you hope will come to it! What happens? Nothing! One of the fastest ways to get traffic is !

The mom has to make a decision, that will not cost her a lot of money and time. Real estate is not a bad choice, but it still cost money and time to do it. Again, a work at home mom, needs a solution, that will allow her to completely work from home!

Even online, you see offers for paid surveys everywhere! In the past, I thought to myself, I will try it. I tried it and I found that you will be bored to tears, filling out form after form! Is it a guaranteed and consistent living? No! It is not! Once again, what may sound great online, can be a deceptive illusion! This does not allow a mother to completely work from home!

The easiest way I have found to make money and work from home, is promoting digital products that really work. They must have a good money back guarantee and they must produce fast results. The money back guarantee should be long enough, to test the product and the email support is essential! Keep in mind, results will vary from person to person, but if you are good with a computer, willing to learn, then you will have success online.

To be able to build a website, within a niche market, then promote other peoples products, can make you wealthy! Maybe you can write an ebook about something your good at, and sell it in Click- bank. Maybe you can make a website about dog training and sell digital products on how to keep your pit bull from killing someone. I can not emphasize the importance of using Google Adwords enough!

Okay, you believe that the positive living approach is definitely the way to go. You're meeting and greeting the world with a whole new and your life is starting to show the signs already. People are actually being influenced by your and are responding in kind. Being positive really works!

Then something happens. You receive some not so pleasant news and you're right back where you started! What happened to your determination? How could this happen? What can be done on a regular basis to keep you motivated?

You need to have a plan in place. And motivation is, as the word itself suggests, a motive for action.



Here are a few suggestions to help you get started.

1Apply Motivation Everyday.

Is it possible to be positive and all the time? The answer is "No"! It is true that motivation doesn't last but if you work at it, keeping yourself on track, you will have many more up days than down. If we want to stay motivated continuously, we will have to apply motivational "food" to ourselves everyday. As we need daily food for physical energy, we need daily motivational "food" for mental energy.

2Build A Motivational Base

Read or listen to daily. Go to the nearest library or bookstore and find yourself some inspirational material. A well-written book that offers sound advice is more motivating than reading about the latest most horrific stories or market declines. Alternatively, forget reading if you have no time. Use audio. Audio is really great to listen to because you can also be doing something else while you are listening to it. Just spend half hour everyday listening to or CD's in your car or while working out at the gym.

3.Have A Healthy Lifestyle

Exercise regularly. It helps your body to work more effectively and efficiently. You will enjoy life more. When the body moves, the mind moves even more. An active body promotes an even more active mind. The mind gets organized whether you want to or not. We may be thinking about work while we exercise but we develop more creative solutions. So, set aside a little time every week for exercise. You'll be more productive when you return to your work.

4.Do Enjoyable Activities

Find some activities that give you real pleasure, things that excite you and allow your talents to shine. This makes you feel good about yourself and promotes positive emotions. When you enjoy what you do, you tend to excel and succeed easily. And with each success, your self-esteem grows and motivates you to greater heights. You will enjoy even more of that particular activity. Suddenly, you feel that success comes naturally.

5.Remind Yourself Of Your Goals

We should have clearly stated goals and action plans with deadlines written on paper. Take the necessary steps to achieve your goals. Remind yourself constantly of these goals.

Develop a strong desire to attain those goals. Our subconscious mind will steer our daily activities and action towards attaining these goals. If you know what you want and want it strongly enough, then you will surely get it. Strangely what we do today has everything to do with where we'll be in 6 months.

In order to get ahead, you must always be motivated. All the motivation in this world will not do anything for you unless you ACT NOW. Apply these steps and believe that these are practical and effective guidelines. The results will surprise you.

Along the way, count your blessings at every opportunity and be Grateful. Lawrence Ho Subscribes To The Power of Positive Thinking And The Law Of Attraction.

If you take this information seriously, you will yourself to the top 5% of your network marketing company. In fact, if I wanted to, I could probably sell this information to you for , and you'd never bat an eye or request a refund.

Instead though, here is the information, free mind you, to take yourself from the average Joe in all the way to the top of your company in a very short period of time. A very good friend of mine is the number one distributor in a very well known network marketing company that has been around over eighteen years. What I'm about to share comes from his wealth of knowledge!

In fact, my buddy used this information to catapult his income from $8000 a month to over $18,000 per month in under a year! So please take this information very seriously, then go out and apply it to your MLM so you can experience big success!

You see, the who gets in does not do the one thing they need to do to succeed in home business. Does anyone out there have an idea of what that is exactly? I'll tell you what it is and give you a formula, but first : the average person does not talk to anyone about their home business or offer them the opportunity.

There seems to be a mindset in America or in online business in general, that if I just get "in" a company I can become inherently wealthy without doing anything. That is just as untrue as the world being flat. You have to do something and here's the secret.

You want the formula? Go get a pen. Write these two things down: Testimonials and Put Your Leader on the Phone. If you will simply share your opportunity with others, and then put them on a 3-way phone call with your upline leadership, you will see your business skyrocket to unlimited proportions.

You see, the average person who get in a home business, never talks about their home business or treats their business seriously. Most people are afraid that others will think you are trying to sell them some soap or something.

The ones that are kicking everybody's butts are simply utilizing their leadership, asking questions and doing two things everyday without fail: Sharing their personal testimony and putting their leaders on the phone with middle class Americans who are looking to get ahead.

Know your market. If you are in MLM don't waste your time with anyone who is super young or anyone who is in dire financial straits, etc. Find middle class Americans, good people, who are looking for a business opportunity and are willing to go to work!

Jim Rohn, unparalleled motivational speaker has said, if you talk to ten, and your real bad, you're going to get "2." Meaning, that every day if you talk to ten people, you will get an average of 2 signups. Take that same formula and now put your upline leader on the phone with ten people a day. That means two signups for you in one day! Fourteen a week and sixty a month!

How long at that pace do you think it would take you to pass everyone in your company? Let's even take it up another notch. What if, instead of just talking to anyone online, you approached seasoned network marketers who already have thousands of people on their email lists? How fast could you get ahead in your company?

Know your online business market. Market like crazy; put massive action into finding network marketers who have huge lists of contacts. Don't give up. This may be as simple as doing a Google search for successful entrepreneurs and then clicking on the "contact us" button for the phone number.

Then, once you have their number, you never have to talk to them. Simply do a 3-way call with your upline already on the phone, talk to the new hot prospect two on one, and see your enrollments increase a hundred fold!

Most of all remember one thing you are looking for "successful" people. People who are a success in their careers, people who are a success in general! Success breeds success.

So go out and do the two things that will catapult you to MLM success whatever your service or product. Share your testimonial and then put people on the phone with your upline sponsor. Then watch as you see you're every dream come true with your MLM Company! Don Alexander is owner of http://leading-online-business.com and writes on a variety of subjects.

Have you thought about why so many people got rich by being one of the first to buy ? Was it really that they had the financial prowess that so many others lacked? Or was it that they were willing to take a risk and try something new and bank their money on this new guy with a and a geeky genuine intelligence named Bill Gates?

I submit to you that these people, many of them, simply saw Microsoft (remember when it was new, it was just like any other company) as a "potential" goldmine. Are you aware that there are several online businesses right now that are flourishing to the tune of new enrollees signing up at the rate of 10, 20, and even 50,000 people per month?

Are you also aware that many of these new opportunities are legitimate, backed by and wealthy leaders like , , Brian Tracy, and more? My word, even Warren Buffet has purchased over five multi-level marketing home businesses in the past decade. Why? Because multi-level or network marketing works! Home business works!

Who does it work for though? The super salesperson? The trendy entrepreneurs? Nope. Don't you think it works for those who are willing to "go to work?" Yes! All of the better home businesses have systems in place that if you follow them you could end up getting wealthy over time.

Do you think that home business is get rich quick? You better think again. Why do you suppose that if you put 8 hours per day in at your job you will get X amount of dollars at the end of the week? Is it because you are such a good worker? No! Don't you think it's because the company has figured out that when you work 8 hours, they make $1000.- or more in net profits, for example, and that you are nothing but a peg in that profit machine?

Why then are people not using a home based business to help them achieve their bigger dreams? Well, did you know that over 90% of the people that start a home based business quit within the first year? Home business is not get rich quick, but it is get rich over time.

What if you could find a home business opportunity that works and you were provided a tailor made system that you could follow to increase your profits at home? Wouldn't that be awesome?

Am I trying to make you into an online business person? Yes and no. I want you to find a vehicle you can use to make money from your home so that you can become that rock star, company owner, evangelist, car maker, toy producer, record producer, movie director, and whatever it was you said to yourself as a kid that you wanted to be when you grew up!

Are you willing to dream big? If so, would you do yourself a favor, and quit waiting to hit the lottery, or to find that perfect job? Can you do a self-analysis and ask yourself this: "If I have the opportunity to work with the truly wealthy, learn their systems, their way of life, and to also be myself and have a business opportunity that provides me with extra money, is this something I'm willing to do? Are you willing to take a small risk for the next few years, to completely accomplish the dreams you had when you were a kid?

If so, now you have solved the case to your financial future: Dream Big!

Mr. Calvert,

Hello, my name is Jameson. I met you a few months ago at the Bunny Slipper you spoke at in Las Vegas. I am the one that spoke to you after the Boot Camp and told you I was going to invest in your "How to Create a $5,000 Monthly Income with and Course" after I had a couple of yard sales.

I knew at the time, you probably didn't believe me, but I did go to www.OnlineAuctionU.com and purchase your course. Anyway I just wanted to let you know that I have followed your course step-by-step and last month I have my first month of over $5,000.00 in profits, $5,233.70 to be exact and I am having a blast. My 5 year old daughter helps me in my business and because of your course; I never have to worry about taking a job outside the home again.

Now for my question, at the seminar you said that you personally spend over $15,000 a year on books, tapes, seminars, and other personal development courses.

My question is why?

You have a net worth of millions of dollars, you speak all over the world at seminars, and have dozens of training programs, why do you still invest so much money? I am just curious; please respond when you have an opportunity.

Thank you for helping me change my life!

Tanya Jameson



Here is my response:

Tanya,

Congratulations on your first $5,000 month! You now have developed the skills and knowledge to be able to write your own pay check every month with Ebay and online auctions. I am proud of you and I appreciate you taking the time to send me an email.

Now regarding your question and why I spend so much money on personal education.

My definition of success is not how much cash, or how many toys you have. To me "Success is living your life working towards worthy Goals" When I was broke, living in a small 600 foot square home and driving a beat up Chevette, I was as successful then as I am now, because I had worthy goals that I was working towards daily.

Now here is the "brain tweak" once I reached those goals, I was no longer a success. Think about that one for a minute. The only way I could maintain my success is to set new goals!

When I was financially broke, I developed the habit of spending 10% of my income on my own personal education. Jim Rohn says "Formal education will make you a living; if you become self-educated you can create a fortune"

That is one of the things I absolutely enjoy about the Internet, it is a constantly evolving marketing medium. There are always new ideas to learn and concepts and methods to test and put into practice.

Thankfully, my income got to a point, where I could no longer spend 10% on courses, books and tapes. So I was able to buy books and training programs for other people, and at one point provide the book "Think and Grow Rich" to the entire graduating class at our local high school.

However today, I am constantly learning and working towards worthy goals, and I hope you will continue to do the same.

I wish you much success, and as always let me know what I can do to support and help you. I appreciate your support, and again thanks for taking the time to send the email.

I sincerely hope that my response to Tanya has resonated in your mind. If you are broke, but working towards worthy goals, YOU ARE A SUCCESS. Today's world is full of self educated marketing masters that offer an endless supply of books, tapes, and training programs to help us all become better at what we do.

Oh yeah, before I forget, why is the title of this article $1,167.00? That is what I spent last month for personal educational and training programs. Become "self educated" and I will see you on the never ending road to success! Dale Calvert is the owner of Calvert Marketing Group.

Whether you'll be able to make the kind of money that you so richly deserve, that will allow you to do all those things that you have been dreaming about for so long. Wondering whether or not you'll be able to make the transition to .

You might have tried a number of so called get-rich-quick schemes and maybe some legitimate ones that have promised so much, yet have delivered so little. You also know that there is no such thing as a "" where you're being ask to just join a program, you don't have to do anything for the money to start rolling in. Yeah right! How long are they going to continue insulting our intelligence?

The is that anyone can make money from their online business. Remember, "You can make as much money as you want, if you know how to market effectively." If you make the commitment to aquire the skills necessary, you can have home business success.

That being said, how many of these people going into new businesses, especially on the internet know how to market effectively? How many of you are ready for success with your home business?

Based on my experience in online marketing and with all the hype and misleading information out there, it would seem that every online is a success story. There are so many so called teachers and top online that it could sometimes make you feel very inadequate, seeing as if you are the only one not making any money. But is this a true picture of what's going on?

While there are many people making some serious income online - that's just a small percentage of the millions who are trying to make it. What I see is that most of the people who start an online business don't have a clue about marketing. They are given a website and told to get traffic to that website in order to make sales. When they fail to make sales they give up and blame the system.

Online marketing probably offers the most powerful opportunity for success with your home business. You can develop some serious income over time, but you need to get the basics right. Getting into it without a plan could get you frustrated and feeling as if you're not capable of getting it right.

These are 10 tips and ideas that I've found to be very helpful in my quest for success in my home business:

1. Be very sure in your mind that this is something that you want to do. If you're not sure about this don't even start. (Identify the WHY)

2. Make a decision to do whatever it takes to get the job done. There are going to be difficult times. (Develop RESILIENCE)

*Although technology is making things more easier, because of all the information that you'll be bombarded with daily you're going to feel overwhelmed, and if you're not 100% sure about your decision to do this you might quit.

3. Do your research - find out where your strength lies... whether it be affiliate marketing (easiest way to start), or you would like to get your own website and start developing your own products. (FIND YOUR MARKET)

4. Check out the true top income earners who have been around for some time and find out what they're doing. Get familiar with their programs, especially the ones that resonate with your heart. (Find a successful person and FOLLOW them)

5. Find some methods of driving traffic that is effective and learn everthing you can about them. (Don't just try them - LEARN and DO them)

*There are many ways of generating traffic; however, don't get caught up into trying to do all of them at once. Use a few at first and make them work for you - then you can add-on others as you get more proficient.

6 Join a system that has been tried and proven over the years, is still working for ordinary people and is still producing success stories. (Don't RE-INVENT the wheel)

7. Stay clear of the "charismatic gurus" whose only purpose is to take your money and run. (Learn the "tricks-of-the-trade" before you jump in)

*Remember the old saying, "Its not all that glitters is gold." Many of them pretend to have your interest at heart, but they have something else in mind.

8. Stay clear of high ticket programs - at least until you have mastered the basics of online marketing. (Get the basics FIRST)

*The heavy hitters in these programs try to make it look easy; however, don't get caught napping.

9. Make a concerted effort to learn all you can on a daily basis about this fascinating industry. (Practice, study and teach)

10. Never ever quit. "Quitters never win and winners never quit." Keep your "WHY" at the forefront of your business. If your WHY is strong enough then nothing else matters.

11. REMEMBER THIS: People buy because of who you are! Show your authority on a topic of your choice. Choose a market that you're passionate about and watch your fortune materialize.

12. Start BRANDING Yourself from day one. Make a concious effort to do personal development courses. As Jim Rohn says, "Income seldom exceeds personal development. What you become, directly influences what you get."

Getting the basics right will lead to a good life and a profitable and rewarding experience with your online business.

This article is written to help those who have the ability to succeed to do one thing and one thing only: not quit.

I have found that there are many leaders out there who are giving up to soon in online business. Often I'm puzzled as people who in the beginning say: "I'm with you all the way Don, even to the end, I know I'll never quit." But then six months or six days, or six hours later you get an from your MLM that this person is no longer a member of your organization.

Well, first off, you don't go chasing after the person, because as well noted speaker and author has stated: "Just say, isn't that interesting?...and don't go the birds because when you do that you leave the field!"

However, this article is written to those with genuine people, sales, or communication skills, who are quitting without giving themselves a chance from the start.

Since this article is written for potential birds, my urging to you is don't fly away before you see your ocean view or your 2007 Corvette! Write down your dream, and then stick to it like glue, and do as , up and coming incredible motivational speaker says: "Make it your Must."

So many people get into online business thinking that it's going to be get rich quick. Perhaps they should title "get rich quit." Because it's really true that the guys at the top of most scams are getting rich quick while you quit after investing your money. It's a vicious cycle. One that must be obliterated and dealt with.

So, how do you know if you should stay with your current MLM online business or if you should quit? Number one, if you're not sure of your company or stability, perhaps you have a good reason to quit. But for the 90% of you out there who are sold on your company or opportunity, I have one message: Don't quit!

The online opportunity I'm involved with has over 20 years of online experience, and they were the first affiliate program ever offered online, so they have quite an immaculate background. But, even though that's true, it still takes me "work" to make it happen. Greg Ankeny, one of the top health company MLM leaders has been quoted as saying: "I went to work."

That's the problem and herein lays the solution. Most people quit MLM's because they are not willing to go to work or to keep on working. Comments like: "Oh, this is too hard, and oh, I didn't know I'd have to talk to people, are running rampant in MLM. Yes you have to talk to people, yes you have to follow your companies marketing plan, to the tee, doing everything your leaders tell you to do, and then you may just end up getting rich!

The internet today keeps making it easier and easier to market your online business, but yet it's amazing when you look at the statistics that fewer than 5% of those who join MLM's actually ever advertise online! Isn't that interesting? Even with the advent of cheap or low cost free ads, forums, pay-per-click advertising, and much more, people are still afraid to step out and just let others know about their site. That's just crazy!

So how do we stop this nonsense?

It's easy; I need all of you out there who are in an MLM, or looking for an MLM home business, to do three things. Number one never quit. Number two; find an online business that you love. Number three, when things get tough in your home business, I want you to remember the accomplishments in your life. For example, did you ever win an award for selling something, did you obtain a diploma your proud of, and did you win the Congressional Medal of Honor?

Just simply thinking of your prior accomplishments in life may indeed help you to hang on to this awesome MLM online business opportunity you've been blessed to participate and succeed in. In conclusion, my hope and prayer is that someone will read this article that is about to quit their MLM, or who needs a stable MLM home business, and they will make the choice to do one thing: Never quit. Ever.

Then I want you to write me and let me know what happens. In addition to never quitting I want you to follow the instructions of your upline leaders to the tee, without inventing your own tangents, and then keep going with your company for three to five years.

It just might be after that amount of time where you "go to work" you may become financially free, and better yet, you may be involved with your MLM for life and your family may never have to worry about money again. Never forget what happened to a friend of mine Joel Buchfeller of Excel Telecommunications. He enrolled one guy names Al, on his second level, which made him an income for the rest of his life. He never fell below a $5000 per month income, and most of the time it was two or three times that. So don't give up, because you never know when you're going to find your "Al" who enrolls under you!

So please, take my advice, and don't quit. Remember your prior accomplishments, and in the words of our Lord, please remember that: "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26. If you know you belong with your MLM company, stick with it, and who knows, you may be the next online business internet millionaire, and you'll be the one all of us are listening to for advice.
