Science of Becoming Excellent

I started reading The Science of Becoming Excellent by Wallace D. Wattles and Dr. Judith Powell recently and came across something interesting. In chapter 5 they list 4 things that you need do to prepare to become great: You must release all lust, and cease to be ruled by appetite. You must abandon greed. Let go of pride and vanity. Dismiss envy. Number 1 is essentially eat to live, Read More

Are You Dreading Monday?

Some of my friends on Facebook post pictures like this every Monday, that is those of my friends who aren't already involved in network marketing. Do you spend all weekend dreading Monday then all week looking forward to Friday? It's really a lousy way to live, isn't it? Never enjoying today? That's one of the many things that I freed myself from when I quit my job to work on my network marketing Read More

It Takes Focus to Achieve Greatness in Network Marketing

Focus and achieve were two of John Maxwell's words of the day on Minute With Maxwell recently, and the two words are very strongly tied together. It takes focus to achieve anything great. Focus is the ability to keep yourself on one task or thought for an extended period of time. As John Maxwell said in his video on focus, the ability to focus on one thing long enough is what it take to turn Read More

Why I Stay With Network Marketing

I am a network marketer, so today I want to talk about what I like about network marketing and the company that I am with. I graduated from massage school six and a half years ago and through that training I had become very interested in wellness. It was as if a whole new world had been opened up for me. My Anatomy and Physiology instructor recommended Kevin Trudeau's book Natural Cures "They" Don't Read More

How Important Are Goals in Network Marketing?

I listened to a small piece of The Strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale on the way to a meeting a couple days ago. In this particular section he was talking about goals and comparing them to the destination of a ship on the ocean. When a ship leaves a port it has to have a destination and a captain at the tiller if it is to have any chance of arriving at any meaningful place. Earn Nightingale Read More

Seth Godin on Blogging

Here is a short video of Seth Godin on the value of blogging. Check it out. I hadn't thought about it like this before, but I believe he is right. I have changed a lot since I started blogging three or so years ago (not on this site). Back then I didn't know much about blogging other than that it was a good way to generate traffic to my website for free. I didn't know how to write and I really Read More

Are Your Expectations Too Small?

Expectation was John Maxwell's word of the day about a week ago. He shared a great story, so go see the short video. Like the young guy in the story, are you passing on opportunities that are too big for your frying pan? Are your expectations too small? Life is about having huge expectations and living life to the fullest. We are meant to live in abundance. Regardless of what the news and the Read More

What Is The Difference Between Prospecting and Recruiting?

I never really understood the difference between prospecting and recruiting as they related to network marketing. Do you know the difference? I was listening to a recording of one of my upline leaders in my network marketing company and he explained it very clearly. Prospecting is about talking to people to find out about them. You are listening for any indications that they may have a need that Read More

Are Network Marketers Freaks of Nature?

The idea for this post came from listening to the song Freaks of Nature by Kansas. When you tell most people that you are joining a network marketing business they look at  you like you are crazy, like you are a freak of nature. The Free Dictionary defines freak of nature as "a thing or occurrence that is markedly unusual or irregular." We are taught while growing up that we need to go to Read More

Why It is Good to Be Uncomfortable

I joined John Maxwell's A Minute with Maxwell a couple days ago to get his "word of the day" emails. Yesterday's word was discomfort. John Maxwell says that you "need to learn to be comfortable being uncomfortable." Jim Rohn used to say "You need to do the uncomfortable until it becomes comfortable." We all know what our comfort zone is and we like to stay there. It's safe in our comfort Read More
