I AM A DREAMER!

It seems as though the odds are stacked against you. No matter how hard you try you just cant seem to break free. You have dreams, goal's, even a plan of action but just cant seem to get any traction and gain momentum.
It feels as though its always two steps forward and three steps back. Every light at the end of the tunnel turns out to be a train. There's no hope, what's the point anymore?  Why not just give up and accept that this is life?  Is this "normal" ? Maybe everyone is destined to live this unstable and never knowing what's next adventure we call life.
After all, Logic is screaming, demanding even that we slide our dreams over to the category of fantasy with no hope of ever becoming reality. We've all heard it a thousand times...you have to adapt to your surroundings, conform to your situation and accept your circumstances and take life one day at a time.
Some of us have even tried that "way of life". Tried to be what society calls normal and just take what life dishes out. Play the hand we were dealt and try to minimize our losses while hoping for a better hand.
Oh but something inside you cant be silenced. This passion cant be pushed down. Your thirst cant be quenched and the fire that burns so hot within you cant be put out. A silent rage is building inside you and everything within you is screaming don't quit.
Logic has no say here, you're a dreamer and dreamer's don't settle, we can't, to settle is to deny our true self and live a lie, to try and settle is to commit to dying a slow and miserable death within.
You must push on with your head held high and be true to yourself. Accept that life will throw hurdles but hurdles were made to be jumped. You can't quit!  It's not even an option because you were born for greatness, destined to be a leader, designed to achieve so pick your head up and announce to the world I will not be defeated!
I am like a rubber ball the harder you knock me down the higher I will bounce! I will succeed!  I am a dreamer therefore I will accomplish! Dreams are not chased but created.
I will defy all odds and show the world who I am and what I'm capable of.  That I am everything I need to be in order to succeed. I will continue to feed the fire until it burns out of control with no hope of containment. I am a dreamer!
Only those who "Dare to Dream" can make a dream come true. All my dreams will come true because I cannot be controlled by the fear of the unknown, the challenge of the day nor the dream stealers around me, I will persist until I win, not hoping, not wondering but moving forward with confidence in my ability to plan, to set and achieve my goals, with the quiet assurance that nothing can stop me or even slow me down. I am me and I accept that and others opinions of me will not affect my own.
Every great dream begins with a dreamer, always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience and the passion to reach for the stars and change the world
I cannot fail because I will not quit!  I accept no reality other than the one I create! I am a dreamer!

Life without limits

A person is limited only by the thoughts that he chooses.—James Allen, "As a Man Thinketh"

Life has no limits other than the ones we place on ourselves, if we can dream it we can be it!

You are not limited to the life you now live. Never accept that this is the best that you can do. Anytime you're ready to go beyond the limitations currently in your life, you're capable of doing that by choosing different thoughts.

I love the story of George Dantzig that Cynthia Kersey wrote about in "Unstoppable". As a college student, George studied very hard and always late into the night, so late that he overslept one morning, arriving 20 minutes late for class. He quickly copied the two math problems on the board, assuming they were the homework assignment. It took him several days to work through the two problems. Finally he had a breakthrough and dropped the homework on the professor’s desk the next day.

Later, on a Sunday morning, George was awakened at 6 a.m. by his excited professor. Since George was late for class, he hadn't heard the professor announce that the two unsolvable equations on the board were mathematical mind teasers that even Einstein hadn't been able to answer. But George Dantzig, working without any thoughts of limitation, had solved not one, but two problems that had stumped mathematicians for thousands of years.

Simply put, George solved the problems because he didn't know he couldn't.

Our mind is much more powerful then we realize, George Zalucki said it best, there are two parts to our mind, the conscious and subconscious, the thinker and the prover.

The thinker or conscious mind is where we have our thoughts and from where our speech comes from, the subconscious mind, the prover is a gatherer of evidence.

For example, when we think or say that we want to, can or intend to do something it becomes a command to our subconscious mind to start looking for evidence to prove our thoughts or words as absolute or truth, however the reverse is also true, when we have thoughts or use words like I cant it also commands our " prover " to gather evidence to prove that as an absolute as well, our thoughts and words have a direct affect on our lives so choose your thoughts and words carefully

Bob Proctor tells us to “keep reminding yourself that you have tremendous reservoirs of potential within you, and therefore you are quite capable of doing anything you set your mind to. All you must do is figure out how you can do it, not whether or not you can. And once you have made your mind up to do it, it’s amazing how your mind begins to figure out how.”

And that’s worth thinking about.

Why Network Marketing

Robert Kiyosaki says "If you don't have a home based business you're out of business!"

There's no such thing as Job security anymore!

The economy is NOT getting better, more and more lay-offs are happening RIGHT NOW!

More and more people are turning to home based businesses to create the financial security that they once looked for in their job. Over 100,000 people a week are joining home based businesses. Some are predicting that by the end of this decade 46% of the worlds population will be working from home.

The three classes of people we are used to is becoming a thing of the past. We are rapidly becoming a two classed society. What I mean by that is we once had the upper class, middle class and lower class.

But now the lower class are becoming homeless. The middle class are broke and on the verge of financial disaster due to higher cost of living and less income.

So we have dropped down to the lower class and the upper class seem to get richer. leaving us with lower and upper class

Only those who have or develop an Entrepreneur's attitude will gain the ticket to total freedom.

So why Network Marketing?

This Industry has generated more financially stable families than any other Industry and produced more millionaires than any other industry in the world

Why is it that people like Donald Trump, Warren Buffet and Robert Kiyosaki promote the network marketing industry? Because they understand that's its the last chance for the average person to get rich, It's the only industry that allows you to make an investment of a few hundred dollars and create a huge residual income, financial security and peace of mind using leverage.

Here is something we must understand, being rich is simply a mind set......Unfortunately so is being poor

Just ask Donald Trump, he lost billions but also gained billions right back. How was he able to do it? He had the right mind set.

Being broke is a temporary position but being poor is a permanent situation. Its all in the mind set.

Regardless of the stock market or the 700 billion dollar bailout, regardless of the value of the dollar dropping 90% since it originated and 80% in the past 10 years the rich seem to get richer and the poor get eaten alive!

Why is that? Because the rich look for and take advantage of opportunity and the poor look for "JOB'S"

The rich leverage their time and money to produce more time and money while the poor continues to trade hours for dollars, do the rich trade hours for dollars? NO, they leverage other peoples hours for their dollars (kind of sounds like network marketing to me) and then they leverage their money by making it work for them.

Why is Network marketing so affective? Because it uses the power of leverage. You leverage other peoples time and efforts...who leverage other peoples time and efforts... who leverage other peoples time and efforts...you see where I'm going with this right?

J Paul Getty (a billionaire in the oil Industry) said " I'd rather have one percent of the efforts of 100 people than 100 percent of my own efforts.", you think he understood the power of leverage?

It's time to take back control of our lives. It's time to take back the control and create the life we deserve. The peace of mind we all want, the financial freedom we all long for. The power to do so is in our hands and the opportunity is right in front of us.

5 Traits of the Successful Network Marketer - Trait 1

What causes one to fail in Network Marketing while others enjoy huge success?

What is it that 10 out of 10 successful network marketers agree is the number one thing you must have in order to succeed in network marketing?

What is it that most lack and it causes them to fail in network marketing?

Why is it that two people can be involved with the same company, have access to the same tools but only one is successful?

The answer is really very simple.......... Discipline !!

You have to be disciplined with your work schedule, it doesn't matter if you are full time or part time with out discipline you will never get into the money or keep the money.

With my personal team we use the "binder system" and the first page in the binder is the work schedule, The most important page of the system, it is extremely important that this page be filled out every week and the reason is the psychology behind it, When you put something in writing instead of just "intending" to do it you actually enter into a covenant with yourself, you are making a promise to yourself that you are going to do something and are 80% more likely to do what you said you would do once it becomes a written goal/task

After your "work schedule is written out what's next?   SHOW UP TO WORK!!!

Most people that start a network marketing business start out on a part time basis due to a current full time job, How may times could you not show up to work or not work once you "showed up" and still keep your job? not very many times before you would no longer be employed by that company.
Its the exact same with you business, If you don't show up to work you wont have a business but a hobby instead.....Hobbies cost money but do not money.

What does "showing up" entail?  Performing the money making activities.

For example, if you have Monday from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM scheduled to work you business but you spend that time watching training video's in your back office or studying the compensation plan Etc. then you really aren't working, you're just busy doing the non money making activities.

I agree that knowing and understanding you product/business/comp plan is very important but that IS NOT making you any money therefore don't spend you scheduled work time on these types of activities, spend your work time working, making exposures, follow up calls and 3-way calls, these are the money making activities.

So lets say you are lacking discipline when it comes to "working" your business and you really want to change that and become more disciplined, how do you go about it? Where do you start?

1. Write out your work schedule

2. Write out all the benefits of becoming more disciplined in this particular area
   
 Example: if you become more disciplined when it comes to "showing up" to work your network
    marketing business at the scheduled times you will make more exposures, more exposures means
    more serious looks, more serious looks means more sign ups, more sign-ups means more money,
    more money means........ you get the point right?

3. Find an accountability partner, someone that you can share your work schedule and goals with and they will hold you accountable, don't become accountable to someone that has the same lack of discipline issues or you will both end up buying into each others excuses, a good place to look for an accountability partner is your up-line.

The good news is it only takes 21 days to form a new habit, stick it out and before you know it you'll be showing up to work without giving it a second thought and your business will start to grow as well.

Remember.......Only those who dare to dream can make a dream come true........Dare to Dream!!!

Dare to Dream……Again

"Hold fast to dreams for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly." Langston Hughes.
Remember when we kids and our dreams were bigger than life; there was absolutely nothing we couldn't do. We could be the president, a fireman, a lawyer, a pilot etc.....
We never stopped to consider any reason why we couldn't be or do anything we could dream.
Life had no limits, no stipulations; the bottom line is we believed in ourselves.
　
What Happened? Did people stop dreaming or stop believing?
I believe the dreams are still there but we have let our (false) self-limiting beliefs get in our way and hold us back from what we were born to do.
I am sick and tired of looking in people’s eyes and seeing the "I Gave up" look, so life threw you a curve ball, it set some road blocks in your way, somebody did you wrong, somebody is still doing you wrong. Maybe you made some mistakes or bad decisions and now you are in a place you really don’t want to be……SO WHAT!
Forgive those who hurt you and forgive yourself for the mistakes you made and get up, it’s really nothing more than a decision, it may be a decision you have to make on a daily basis but make it and move on.
Don’t look to anybody else, all you need is within you, reach down, grab your own boot straps and pull yourself up. Stop making excuses as to why you are where you are and start making a plan to get what you want. A plan to become the person you want to be, the person you were meant to be. Stop looking back, it’s impossible to go forward with your eyes focused on what’s behind you. There is still life out there, there’s still time to be all you want to be, and it’s never too late to be you. But in order to get up we have to look within ourselves and find who we really are, so many times people lose themselves trying to survive life. Stop surviving and start creating, get back in touch with your inner child, back in touch with what it is you really want then go get it.
I don’t believe we were put here on earth to just exist, to just survive. Is that really all there is to life?
I do believe we were all created with a purpose. Benny Morris says, "God will not give you a purpose without giving you an equal amount of potential".
Our dreams are directly tied to our purpose. Dreams are not just some made up fantasy of things we can’t accomplish. They are the very core of who we are, the reason we breathe, the reason we were put on this earth, they are who we are. I think it's time we get back to dreaming and believing in ourselves.
We have it within ourselves to accomplish anything we set our minds to; if we can dream it we can be it. We are so much more powerful than we believe; the bible says we were created in God’s own image. That means he gave us everything we need to be true to ourselves. Once we understand that we can control everything about us including our mental state of mind and our attitude then and only then can we start to tap into the power that we were created with and start to become the unique man or woman we were created to be.
Napolean Hill said, "Man alone has the power to transform his thoughts into physical reality, Man alone can dream and make his dreams come true."
Keep your heart open to dreams, for as long as there are dreams there is hope, as long as there is hope there is joy in living.

Let’s be kids again, let’s start dreaming again but most of all let’s start believing in ourselves again.

Only those who dare to dream can make a dream come true.
I dare you….Dare to Dream…….Again
