Is It Too Good To Be True?

Just invest $300 and find two people to do the same. They find two people to invest $300 and that continues on and on. As you get pushed up the ladder, you are supposedly paid out large commission. So what are you getting? Well, they say you get a travel membership for deals. Though they are secretive until you invest your hard earned money. They say once you personally bring in X amount of people, who invest their $300, you will be given 'Free': a Car, a Villa, a Yacht or a Plane. Really? Now does this sound too good to be true? Or does this Scream SCAM!

If you would like to know the name of this company, I will be glad to reply to you privately.

Wouldn’t you want to be a member of a travel company that shows you, right up front the travel packages and all the savings? Wouldn’t you want to be a member of a travel company that has video of people actually on these trips, going all over the world? Wouldn’t you want to be a member of a travel company that you will no longer pay a membership fee after you refer four people? Wouldn’t you want to be a member of a travel company that you can also make a commission: Cruise, Hotel and Car? Wouldn’t you want the luxury of having your own travel agent at your fingertips and wouldn’t it be great to always have a concierge to help out with your travel needs. Wouldn’t a $199. investment be worth it compared to one that may or may not payout those big bucks and promise you these expensive material things, that will cost you more money in the long run, just to keep them?

You have a choice. Become a member of a legitimate travel company or….

What else is there to say, but lets take a DreamTrip, have fun and make money with WorldVentures and Rovia. http://Travel.SprungOnTheGo.Info

5 Steps Towards A Better You

Gratitude. You hear about it and may read about it; but how many people really express it? Do you get up in the morning and say out loud how grateful you are? There are many religions where you say thanks at the dinner table, prayers several times a day and go to church or synagogue. Then there are some who just wait until that one time of year: Thanksgiving.

I belong to a networking group that meets on Monday mornings called Free Networking International (FNI), where after we each do our 60 second pitch, we then go back around the room saying what we are grateful for. This is a fantastic way to start the week.

What about gratitude journals? Do you keep adding to it everyday or is it once in a while? Do you even have one? I have found the more grateful I am, the more confident I feel and that shows. It shows in attitude and physicality, plus you find yourself smiling more. I know I do. People will gravitate toward someone with a positive aura.

I personally have cut people out of my life who were negative. Everything they said was cynical. If I find myself talking with someone who just has nothing good to say, I walk away or get off the phone. The news is rarely on my TV in my home. My favorite part of the newspaper is the comics.

So what can you do to make yourself better?

1.) Get up in the morning and say out loud what you are grateful for.
2.) Before you go to sleep, say out loud what you were grateful for that day.
3.) Keep a gratitude journal.
4.) Recite any mantras you may have.
5.) Place some gratitude notes around your home, office, or with you.
6.) If someone pays you a compliment, say “Thank You”.

Here are some wonderful gratitude quotes:

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”
--- John Fitzgerald Kennedy

“Appreciation can make a day, even change a life. Your willingness to put it into words is all that is necessary.”
--- Margaret Cousins

“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.”
---William Arthur Ward

"Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation."
--- Brian Tracy

"If you want to turn your life around, try thankfulness. It will change your life mightily."
--- Gerald Good

Have a wonderful and prosperous day. Thank you for reading this.

Is It Good Or Bad To Have More Than One Business?

I come across people who either own a brick and mortar business or work for someone. I hear, “How can you make one business work if you do too many.” You have no focus. Of course my answer to this would be; I hate being bored.

Why not have more than one stream of income. Look at what happened to so many people who had their own business or worked for someone else and the company went under…. Oops no net! Then there are the natural disasters, like Katrina. Many people lost their jobs and homes, but those who were in businesses that paid a residual income; survived. Their homes may be gone, but the money still came in.

I do think jumping from business to business is not good. Pick something and stay with it. If you add another, that is great. A good way to keep your focus is to split up your day or week for one company at a time. I have six streams of income and that may sound like too much. I feel each compliment one another. Three are non-residual and three are residual. I find when my non-residuals are down, I have my residuals to keep me going. They fall under Art, Health and Travel. As long as I stay focused on one business at a time, my life runs smoothly and I never feel like it’s too much.

If you look at the top business people in the world, none of them do just one thing. Many may primarily stay in the same industry, with an exception or two. Examples would be, an actor who also writes, directs, produces, endorses products and may own a restaurant. A chef who owns restaurants, is on TV, writes books, and has a line of kitchenware. A gym owner who also markets nutritional supplements, has a video line, etc. As you can see the list can go on and on…

Many successful Network Marketers will create videos, books, e-books and seminars.

As I mentioned in my last article, set goals and follow a to-do list. Having more than one stream of income is a very good thing.

Get Motivated And Take Action. What Steps Are You Taking Toward Your Goals?

As I sit here contemplating what I’m going to write. It dawns on me that I haven’t updated my goals for a little while. I have a long list that hangs by my computer. I walk past my vision board all the time, every so often stopping to look at it, to see what needs to be added or changed. I visualize for a bit, then move onto the tasks at hand that will get me closer to those goals.

When I do work on my goals, I try to work on a few at a time, making them short term. Basically I have a daily to-do list. That is always a great start. Write down what the day plans and needs are in the morning or have it written down the night before. Lately I’ve tried to section off each set of goals for the different businesses I do. Many entrepreneurs, have several streams of income. Each of mine, are very different, though they still go hand in hand. When I go to network marketing groups, I have to decide which hat I’ll be wearing. As I build relationships, many will know I have more than one thing to offer.

Is that a good thing or bad? I’ll tackle that question in my next article.

Getting back to goals and why they are important to have. If you know what you want; wouldn’t it make sense to know how to get there? What if you were to ask a bank for a business loan and the first thing the bank would ask is; can I see your prospectus? But you tell the bank, ‘well I’m just gonna wing it as I go along’. The bank will close the door on you. How many times have you seen investors on the TV show Shark Tank, laugh at the applicants who have not done any research or marketing.

Whether you have one business or several; have a set game plan. Write down those goals. As for mine; I’ve been putting what I’ve written into action. There are times I would lie in bed and almost talk myself out of working out. But I didn’t. It may have been a short workout that day, At least I did get in the gym to spark up those brain cells.

One of my newest goals is to write at least three articles per week and if I get even more inspired that number will grow. For years, I was told this is what I needed to do. I would like to thank Larry Beacham for giving me that kick start.

A few months ago I did make a goal to Blog at least two or three times a week. Are they articles? Two or three that would fall under that heading. Many of my Blogs would be a paragraph or two with photos. I’m happy to say, I even have a few followers.

Now my goal is to get bigger and wider, reaching more people in several markets. I could write articles on each of my goals. That may keep me focused, but bore you. What are your goals?

Why Are MLM/Network Marketers So Deceptive About Their Meetings, When Asking Someone To Come?

It’s like a secret; as if the marketer is a spider looking to trap the fly into their web. This is why so many, end up standing by the door in search of the people they have invited and never show.

I have been there and like so many others, we immediately start calling, leaving messages and never hearing from these people again. If you do get them on the phone, all you get are excuses to why they can’t make the meeting or why they missed it and promised they’ll come next time. Next time never happens either. Most of the time, this is because you were being secretive about your company.

STOP! If you are ashamed of what you have to offer, than you should get out. You should be passionate about what you have to offer. That is what people want to see. Most of the time it’s not what you have, but it’s why you are part of this company.

I’ve been to some meetings where, I thought the product was just OK, but the people cared about what they are offering. I’ve also been to meetings where, the product looked Great and because I thought the people where only looking to build their down-line, I was turned off.

It has been said over and over, people join people. Build relationships and be passionate about what you do.

Top 3 Ways To Make A Change In What You Are Doing And How You Need To Do It.

If you find that what you are doing is not getting results. CHANGE, what you are doing. But your up-line said; you need to do these steps to get to the TOP. You may find that those steps worked for about a week. Then you are already frustrated, because your doing everything you were told to do and you are not getting the same results your up-line is getting. I’ll say it again, CHANGE, what you are doing.

There are so many ways to work your business. If you are getting results by doing the structured steps so many MLM’s have set for you to follow; great. But if you feel that, cold calling, knocking on doors, dropping sizzle cards, sending out postcards, etc. is failing, then move on to the computer.

You hear and see this everywhere; BRANDING. Now when I first read this, I always thought it needed to be a business. The business would have a logo designed and then put out in signage and print for everyone to see and eventually recognize,

But when you are in an MLM, you cannot use the logo your company has because, it’s theirs and you are only allowed to use the logo with permission and on certain things. So your business is not BRANDED. You Need To Brand You.

BRANDING YOURSELF is how you are going to get recognized. This is where the CHANGE comes. Start to put yourself out where everyone can see your face or if you are a bit shy, they should then recognize your name.

The 3 Top ways to get YOU out there are.

1. Social Networks
2. Business Networks
3. Video Networks.

Take advantage of all of them. They all will take some work, but I find it’s a lot more fun doing all of them

How To Move Past Those Negative Words And Into Action!

Everyone goes through the; I should have and of course that is the worst thing you could do, is ‘should on yourself’. It’s already in the past, so leave it there. The present is what’s most important. You want to make goals for the future, and having short term goals are the best. You’ll want to have one big goal that is off to the future, with many short ones to get you to there. With short goals, they are easy to follow, taking each step, by step, by step. Plus, make sure you are having fun with each step. It would be silly not too. You need to enjoy life. We all hit these small bumps along the way, so look at it as if you are on a kid’s rollercoaster; those bumps are small enough to work through.

I know as I write this, someone else out there has put down similar words. Even though you have heard these words before, it needs repeating…. DO NOT QUIT! No matter what MLM you are in…DO NOT QUIT! Maybe you just got into one, or have been in one for awhile and you are tired of your down-line quitting…. Once again… DO NOT QUIT!

You know the saying Quitters Never Win and Winners Never Quit. That is so true. I’ve heard so many stories of what happens when someone quits. If there was a down-line they moved up and now that new up-line is reaping the rewards and the one who quit is still looking for their get rich quick company.

No one in an MLM should ever think that the company they are in; is get rich quick. Some people built their company up faster than others, but it still took lots of work.. I recently was talking with someone who was looking for a way to build their company with a push of a button. Just put the info in on automate and watch it grow. Some people would say, yeah there is a way to do that…. Not really. You still need to build those relationships. And Yes it takes Work and Time!

So to repeat myself once again, please take action and… DO NOT QUIT
