Whether you are rich or poor is a choice and a mindset. You must take responsibility for what you have or what you lack. That may sound harsh, especially in the current economic climate. Many people feel things are out of their control. After all if your company has down sized and made you redundant, leaving you without an income, is it your fault that you have spiralling debt? Well real leaders take full responsibility for everything in their lives.
But more than that, remember that thoughts become things. Everything mankind has ever done has begun as a thought before becoming a tangible reality. So too for each of us.

Do you want to have a good network marketing business or a great business? If money is your main motivation, then you will never reach the heights of greatness. That will ruffle a few feathers.
If you saw the video posted in my last article, with Art Jonak, Ken Dunn and Orjan Saele, you should have begun to get a feel for how the top people in our profession think. You may say that it is easy not to be concerned about the money when you have it.
I would like to suggest that you need to let go of the need for money in order to reach the big league. That may not be so easy. Perhaps you are still working towards replacing your job; you have a family to support; you desire a new home – whatever. These are important things but the dream of network marketing is one that offers the potential for true greatness. That is a word one of my mentors uses often and with good reason.

“Let me show you how to get 100 leads a day!” Hmmm, maybe I’m an old cynic but what does that mean when you hear it? Are the leads real and how do they translate into genuine prospects and then business partners? There are a lot of folk in our profession who appear to stress quantity over quality. Seriously, could you call 100 people a day?
We all work with different lead generating systems. In the one I use, a lead is really only of value if I can call him or her. Simply opting in to a list means little. That useful lead then only becomes a prospect if the first call results in building a relationship. Note that at this point I am not talking about getting him in my business nor am I making any money from him. [click to continue…]

As some of you will know I recently had major technical issues with my blog that resulted in it being offline for nearly two weeks. I changed my hosting provider and I had to transfer the domain name. It should have been a simple process, taking maybe a day or two.
You know how it is when you keep getting messages like – “it will be ready soon…….!” The thing is that my blog is the nerve centre of my online work. Everything I do on social media, YouTube etc points to my blog. Another day and another day went by and my blog was still in cyber space. So that kind of posed a challenge, an unplanned break.
I’m sure you’ve heard the advice that we cannot control what happens to us but we can control how we react, our emotions. That is so important. At every moment we have a choice. Do I get upset? Do I get angry? Who is to blame? We truly choose how our life will be. [click to continue…]

Why does it matter? Because you are the average of the five people you spend most time with – in your income, your general emotional state, etc. So who do you keep company with and where do you want to be?
Pursuing the life of your dreams demands you pay a price. The obvious things are working extra hours when most people are chilling out in front of the TV; perhaps putting some hard earned cash into your business that means you miss out on a vacation. But the real price you pay is working on yourself, personal growth – to have more, you must become more. As you change on the inside, so what you need on the outside will change too.
Most folk get in a comfortable rut as young adults and not much changes as the years go by. You hang out with the same crowd; follow the same football team; go to the beach in summer; try to keep life comfortable as you get greyer; you know how it is. [click to continue…]
