Who Said The Glass Is Half Empty?

So, here I am thinking about what it is that people mean when they talk about the "glass being half empty versus half full".

I guess it's about your view, sort of like do feel that you've got enough in your life...or is there never enough?

So what's your view? How do you see your life and your business? Do you have enough income in your life? Do you have enough clients? Enough vacation time? Enough clothes? Enough time with your family? Enough wellness and good health? Enough personal "freedom"? Are you running out of "prospects" to introduce your business to?

It's amazing that probably 90% of the working world is basically unhappy, unfulfilled, underpaid, underappreciated, overworked, disappointed and they don't see a way out of their "DILEMMA". I call that the RAT RACE...everyone's trying to ESCAPE THE RAT RACE.

Home




OK, so let's get back to YOUR VIEW. Just how do you see yourself, your life, and your business?
Are you the type of person who says "I have nobody to talk to about my business", "I need more people to speak to", "where do I find more prospects"?

You know, it all comes down to how you see things. Recently, a new team member in my business (network marketing), said to me, David I don't know what to do, I have nobody left to speak to...I've spoken to everyone I know. And then I asked the MAGIC QUESTION...tell me when you look out your window at that beautiful high rise building across the street, how many people do you know there? And in your lovely little town or city, how many people live there...and how many do you know?

If the answer is something like "I don't know anyone in that building", or "I only know about 16 people in my town (out of 60,000)...then let's just get reaslistic here friends. How serious are you about finding prospects? Because if you were very serious, you'd be realizing that there's an entire building in front of you filled with people you don't YET know...and that you still have 59,984 people in your town/city for you to get to know! Now just how serious were you?

You see my friends...to me, the glass was never half empty...and it was never half full...I see above this glass a PITCHER filled with water and an endless stream of water being poured into the glass...and the glass is OVERFLOWING with water.

Yes, it's all about ABUNDANCE thinking. I truly believe that there's enough of everthing in this world for everyone who wants somthing. Our world is so rich with abundance of people, abundance of food, abundance of material things, abundance of money, abundance of wellness, abundance of everything that each of us can think or dream of...our universe provides all this for us. All WE have to do is believe that we are deserving of it, want it badly enough, sometimes be willing to sacrifice for it, and make it materialize into our lives.

So, the lesson for today is; what you think about you can materialize into your life, it's part of the teachings and philosophy of Napoleon Hill from his very wonderful book called "THINK AND GROW RICH".

Today's life lesson....simple, easy...a PITCHER OF WATER FILLING YOUR LIFE WITH ABUNDANCE.

Enjoy the blessings of the day!

Quick Ways To Make Money: Do They Exist?

Home Quick Ways to Make Money: Do They Exist?
We so often see people who have gotten themselves into a life that they just don’t get excited about anymore. Usually they work a job that they really don’t want to wake up for, and basically just dread the same old routine, and doing the same old carpool to work thing.
It’s prevalent in every part of the world and within every human. For those lucky enough to have found what they love to do, which really makes it not even work anymore, then God Bless them. They’ve probably worked very hard to get what they want and now are enjoying the fruits of their labors. For the rest of us it’s not always so easy. We often toil languidly trying to figure out what it is that we like to do and end up waking up one morning to the dreaded alarm clock to send you off to the 9 to 5. It’s a noble living, and those who work hard to raise their families deserve respect. They also deserve more and they know it.
But here’s the trap. The trap that people fall into is building a lifetime foundation of not doing what they love, and usually not enough money to deal with it. They then end up looking for the gold at the end of the rainbow, whether online or otherwise. Everyone wants to know about quick ways to make money. Are they out there?
The short answer is yes, there are quick ways to make money. The thing however is that quick is relative. What’s quick to you? Could you have $5000 a month coming in by tomorrow evening? Most likely not, unless you’re doing something illegal at least! Could you have it in a week? Again, highly unlikely! What you could have though is a way to make quick money if you were to consider the fact that it would take hard work, it would take stepping out of your comfort zone, and it would take lots of fortitude and discipline maybe be making $1000 a month in 90 days.
That’s a realistic goal, and though you should always have large goals, you should also be willing to take the logical steps to those goals. In other words, you can’t make $100 until you’ve made a dollar. You can’t make $1000 dollars until you’ve made $100 dollars.
The key is to find the right vehicle to earning that money, learn the systems and skills to earn it, and be able to repeat and reproduce the results. The quick way to earn money is more about you than you might think.
Now the vehicle. There are now more ways than ever to earn money, especially with the internet. There are Ebay business, internet marketing business, all sorts of stuff. You could even become a writer strictly by writing for people online. The problem with these ways of making money however, is that they don’t produce what’s known as a residual income. This means an income that you earn over and over again for something you’ve done once. Much like a writer writes a book and then sells over and over again.
Probably the best and most obtainable way for someone to begin earning a residual income, which is also a quick way to make money if done right, is to find a good well established Network Marketing company and join as an independent distributor.
The key is to find a solid company, but even more so to find an upline that is willing to train you right and not just leave you dangling in the ocean full of sharks. Many, many people despite of the sometimes harsh and an-warranted critics of Network Marketing are earning thousand, tens of thousands, and even hundreds of thousands of dollars each and every month.
Most of them were looking for a quick way to make money, and though they might have had to be patient and not make all the money overnight, they’ve found their gold at the end of the rainbow.

Now that work at home online business opportunities are becoming more mainstream, more men and women are feeling secure about heading into the waters of Internet income and seeing how they fare. Unfortunately for many, they are setting sail without a compass; without any idea of how to get from point A to point B. Those who have succeeded are the ones who latch on to innovative mentors that know one thing many other would-be entrepreneurs do not get. You have to have a system in place to snowball your efforts and elevate you from average earner to seven-figure stardom. If you flutter around from one business opportunity to the next, blindly spinning your wheels, you will never succeed. You have to have two elements that are crucial to helping you meet your goals: 1.) You have to have a system that works; It does not mean anything if you have the greatest product or service to promote in the world if there is no marketing plan in place to help you tap into a niche and wield your expertise for maximum profit potential. 2.) A great product or service to drip into that system and generate results with. There are so many products that are promoted with great systems, but the refund rate cancels out their success. We at Partner with the Masterminds have developed the 1-2 punch you need to steamroll the competition and blaze into a fast-developing niche as a pioneer ready and able to meet the needs of millions of consumers

The Top 10 Things to Look Out for in a Work from Home Network Marketing Opportunity!

You probably hear all the doom and gloom of the work from home opportunities online. Tons of people are swearing them off left and right as scams. Network marketing, perhaps one of the best business models in the world where people actually get paid for their efforts is often targeted.

One of the main reasons is fairly simple. People usually (and I do say usually) don’t get burned by the Network Marketing company itself, but rather by the people that they choose to partner with. This is a shame, because had they been diligent and found partners that were really doing what they should be doing and actually mentoring these people for success, they would certainly have a whole new outlook on the situation. It can be said though that for every person with a “scam” story, there’s tons more with success stories that you just haven’t had the pleasure to hear. Bad news travels at a much higher rate than good news…always.

I do feel for the people who have had a bad experience with network marketing. It just doesn’t have to happen like that. The only way to avoid it, the way to cut your risks down 98% is to simply do your homework.

That being said, here are the top 10 things that you should look out for when searching for the perfect network marketing, or work at home opportunity for you!

1) The Company: Ask all of the Who, What, When, and Where questions about the company, and don’t stop until you have all of the answers. Check with the BBB (Better Business Bureau) for any bad consumer experiences.

2) Products: Look for a company that distributes an innovative product that’s not just a “me too” product. Your best bet is to have a consumable product which increases re-order activity. Find testimonials and actual consumer reviews on the product to see what the results have been like for others. Naturally there will be some bad reviews since everyone reacts differently and some people just aren’t happy until they’re saying something bad, but you have to balance all of that out and use your own good judgment.

3) Compensation Plan: A good, fair compensation plan will – and should – have the potential to pay you extremely well for your efforts and success; where a poor compensation plan can leave you spinning your wheels with no reward in sight.

4) Leadership: What are the owners and other big guns of the company actually doing for the company? What are there rolls within the company? What are there backgrounds? It’s probably a very good thing if at least one of the head people knows the Network Marketing business model well.

5) Strong Upline: Look to be directly under someone who is obviously, and proven to be successful in the business, as well as with the very opportunity that you’re looking at. Some have made their fortunes with other companies, and that’s all well and good, but you want to make sure that they were able to use those same skills with this opportunity as well. Be sure that they are willing to spend the time to train you, and that they have a system in place that makes them money consistently. In network marketing systems are everything!


6) Company Finances: You want a company with a good, solid financial standing. Debt free and profiting, this way they can sustain and weather any unforeseen storms that may come there way.

7) Reputation: It’s not hard to find skeletons anymore since the internet has become mainstream. Check around both online and off and make sure there are many more good reviews and opinions about the company than bad ones.

8) Global Reach: Is the product available in other countries? With the Internet, your potential market has expanded greatly and your best bet is to have a company where both the product and opportunity are available in other parts of the world as well. These segue’s well to number 9 which is…

9) Timing: You’ll want to find a company that is somewhere in the middle of being established and not in its infancy, but not so old that the market has been saturated.

10) Ethics: Of course you want a company whose principals and values are on par with yours. This creates a type of synergy that is impossible to find when that bond is not there.

Making Money at Home and Being Your Own Boss

It’s a dream held by many but realized by very few – making money at home and having the luxury of being your own boss. With the conception of the World Wide Web, working from home has become a reality for many people who understand how to launch or participate in a profitable online business model.

For many, being able to earn a part time paycheck is enough inspiration to consider working at or in an online business, but to many, making money at home and being your own boss means achieving the ultimate success – millionaire status – or at least a very comfortable living with financial security.

When most people think of making money at home, they immediately have negative thoughts of scams that have percolated over the years, such as envelope stuffing schemes where you had to send off for a kit and pay money in order to make money.

In today’s high-tech world, you have the unique opportunity for making money at home through online pursuits, and all you need is a computer and an Internet connection to get started.

Being your own boss, you can set up whatever kind of business that you like, from publishing your own information products to advertising other peoples’ products for a share of the earnings.

Making money at home and being your own boss doesn’t have to be a far off dream, either. If you’re currently working a full-time job, you can devote a few minutes each day toward realizing your goals and soon wean yourself off of the security of a steady paycheck for the limitless potential of working online for yourself.

Sponsor Or Recruiter…choose wisely!

I was thinking about how so many people in the MLM industry are sort of hit by the recruiters who come in like a "whirlwind" on a recruiting campaign and then they're gone. So I decided to enlighten all my friends out there in the industry and really express my opinion about the difference between a recruiter versus a sponsor...OK so here goes.

One of the biggest challenges in the MLM industry is not just choosing the right company/opportunity to join, but is choosing your direct sponsor. I can tell you with certainty after spending 20 years in this amazing industry that although finding the right company, product and compensation plan are an integral part of success, finding the right SPONSOR is paramount!

And further, while there are many excellent recruiters, there are very few truly good sponsors! And frankly, many of you are already a victim of the “hit and run” tactics that plague our industry.

Here’s the bottom line; A RECRUITER is someone who brings you in, then quickly forgets you even exist. A SPONSOR is someone who works with you, hand in hand, to help you achieve success. It's like the difference between night and day!

And just what is the #1 quality you’re looking for in your sponsor? It’s Leadership. You need to decide if this person is someone who will be your “coach, mentor and teacher”. Are they a person who can “add value” to you and your future MLM team? Will they be there to support and motivate and inspire you and your team? Do you have respect for that person?

Many times your sponsor has just entered your MLM company or industry 30 minutes before you did… and that’s ok if that person is someone who you’re comfortable with and can give you what you need to help build your business. Remember, there are many people in your MLM company if this person is not someone you feel can be your “partner and mentor” in business.

When you speak with your sponsor is he/she encouraging you, motivating and inspiring you, and is 100% upbeat about your MLM Company and products. Remember, many times you’ll be having this person on the phone with you and your prospects with 3 way calls… so it’s important to have a person whom you respect and admire as well as being the “expert” on the phone.

Seek out the right sponsor that fits you and your personal needs… you should “interview” this person like when you’re looking to hire someone to perform a service for you… make sure they meet all the criteria for you that defines whom you are looking for as your sponsor.

Can you imagine how embarrassing it would be to get a really great prospect on the phone with someone whom you’re choosing as your sponsor and they sound either not qualified or knowledgeable about your company, products or compensation plan? How would that person be able to be your “mentor, coach or teacher”?

My friends choose your sponsor wisely!

Those that have Leadership skills will EXUDE confidence to you when you speak with them on the phone on any subject about your company, products and compensation plan… they have the qualities of a person whom you respect and admire and you can see yourself “learning” from their teachings… you truly see them as your GUIDE to MLM success and want them as your business partner and are proud to introduce them to anyone!
