I will be the first to tell you how much I love our industry. But I can’t help but notice that many people still come into the game like it’s not serious enough to take time out to learn some essential skills.

While in L.A. the last weekend in Sept, I heard a very successful mlm entrepreneur say that our industry takes everyone, and how true that is. Medical schools don’t take everyone, colleges don’t take everyone, and McDonald’s doesn’t take everyone either who simply “wants” to start a franchise.

But for some reason, network marketing does. And as a result, people come in, with no training and expect miracles to happen…just not so.

So the one skill that in my opinion is more important than anything else, is the art of closing. See you can have all the leads in the world. But if you can’t close them, or sign them up, no money for you.

So the question of the hour is, how are YOUR closing skills? If they are great, then you should be signing people up left and right. If they need a little tweaking, then get with someone who you can speak with who can tighten you up! And if you don’t know how to close at all, then my friend, go get some training first!

Once everyone understands that millionaires in this industry are made by sealing the deal, and that you must learn how to do it properly, I think we can overall help more people to succeed and achieve their wildest dreams!

Since being online, I have learned a few key principles:

1. Build Your List
2. Build a rapport with the people on that list
2. Then recruit From That List

In that order!!!

Now along the way, I have met people who were not prospects of mine in a sense, but where mutuality of friendship grew. I never thought that meeting people online and working with them, would be such a fulfilling business. I mean I knew making money online was the goal and that in network marketing you have to meet people, but I am so grateful for some of the relationships I have developed.

As you continue and press forward to build your business, always remember this is a people business. If you don’t like people or working with them, then network marketing isn’t for you. It’s true! Just like if you don’t like computers, IT wouldn’t be for you..no difference.

Learn all you can, implement as much of that as you can, and teach others to do the same. In the end, it will all make sense. So for now, JUST DO IT! Ready SHOOT, aim my friend, that’s the name of the game!

Today I was speaking with someone very close to me and I took the opportunity to ask him what he was doing with his time, via his business, during the times of being in the valley. Now before I share with you what he said, I want you to know something about me.

I am a hard-worker, meaning I do what it takes. I am also very giving and have no issues with sharing. I am also a true believer in that what you do today will reveal itself tomorrow. So if you do income generating activities today, you will see the fruits of that labor. However, if you do time-wasting activities, you will see the fruits of that labor as well.

Anyway, back to the story. Well immediately, he responded, “I’m not doing anything. And I’m not going to do anything until my closings in 2 weeks close”. To say the least, I was stunned! I mean literally, I was speechless.

I couldn’t get it in my mind that he was cool with doing nothing. He was fine with hanging out all day while having no passive income. How was that possible?! And let me tell you, I only asked the question because his pattern of doing nothing has been solidified over the past couple months or so, not just because “today” he was going to hang with some friends.

Nonetheless, I felt if I said anything else, that I would be pushing my ideals on how the universe works on someone who knows it, but who clearly isn’t interested in implementing it. So I kept quiet, went into a bit of contemplation and decided that I was in a league of my own…even amongst my own family.

And we already know, that “If you convince someone against their own will, they are of the same opinion still”. That applies to getting more distributors into your business, and I reminded myself today that it also applies to life in general.

You can only help those that want it…and the mindset of that other person will determine it all!

Stay focused my friend, and stay in the game. Your loved ones will pull on your energy the most. And sometimes, you have to let them go as well…

This morning, I woke up with an idea. And that idea was to create a way for me to work on changing my thoughts to being more consistent in thinking and doing positive things.

As a result, I decided to do a Positivity Fast!

For the next 5 days, I will be keeping track of all the times that I think a negative thought like “maybe that’s not possible” or “I can’t stand that”, etc. At the end of the 5 days I will tally up the number of times I “slipped” and be able to have a better grasp of how much time I spend thinking in the positive direction versus the negative direction.

Now here is the cool part..

I shared this concept with my friends on twitter and Facebook and boy did it pick up some momentum. In fact, my friend Michaela has termed us the “Circle of Positivity”..thanks Girl!

So I invite you to join this circle. All you have to do is follow the guideline I set above, be true to yourself and keep accurate track of your results. Only you will know if you’re being honest with yourself..

If you want to stay abreast of how the “circle” is doing, add me as a friend on Facebook and Twitter and let’s get this party started!!

I am writing this post with a totally different format than my normal posts, as it is purely about some things I want to share about me as opposed to marketing.

I just wanted to share with you that I feel my growth in my business. I see the progress I have made over the last year and when I look back all I can say is WOW! See, when I got started, I knew notheing about funded proposals, marketing systems, PPC, utilizing social media, doing videos, or any of that. All I knew was that I wanted my online business to work and work sooner than later.

Since I believed that I could do it, I put out all-stops! I didn’t stop at 5 because everyone else did. I didn’t put in a few hours a day, I put in all I could. I didn’t go to bed early, I stayed up late..many times into the wee hours of the morning. I didn’t expect the success to come overnight but I did understand I could control how long it should take to see success.

The point…work harder than everyone else…work more diligently…work with passion and work knowing that your WHY can and will be attained.

If you do the things today that others won’t, you will live the life tomorrow that others can’t!

Push hard..go the extra mile, go over and beyond. Many of you may already be doing that for your boss..but now it’s time to do it for yourself!

If I can do it, you can too…

This was my little inspirational talk for today and I hope you get and implement the message.

See you at the top!

This morning, I was listening/watching an interview of Bonnie Bruderer by Matt Morris in my SUccess University back office, and she had a concept that I wanted to share with you today.

“Remember When?” is the concept. The purpose of the exercise is to help you focus on what you want in life and feel yourself in that space. So here is how it works.

Ask yourself, for example, “remember when you bought that private jet and you took that first trip to Italy?”

Now, given that you may not have a jet, yet, you are telling your brain to search for images of something that already happened, as a result, it will and even create them as it goes. You are doing a little more than just thinking about what you want in the future with this. You are actually telling yourself to bring forward the event, the feelings, the visuals, the space, etc so that you can remember it. See how powerful that is?

So for today, ask yourself “Remember when?” as many times as you want about as many things as you desire. Start feeling yourself with those things or in those places. Start training yourself to experience what you want out of life. Start immersing yourself in your heart’s desires and you will manifest them…but you must believe it can happen even if you don’t know how!

Have fun remembering the future!

You know, quite sometime ago, I realized that the success that I wanted and the person that could help me get it wasn’t as far off as I thought.

I mean, once I really took time to reflect, I realized that both of those things already dwelled inside me and were not part of the external.

As I started to pull on that energy and come to know my “inside” self, all sorts of things started to happen.

My business began to pick up, my confidence increased, I began to draw more people to me and I began to make more money! I even began to get noticed by other professionals who wanted to work with me, wow!

As these chain of events began, I knew I was on the right path, but I needed to reach more people, help more people, ya know.

Soon after, I was presented with the opportunity to share my story with others and become a published author. Now, instantly I thought, me? Write and become a published author? No way!

But as I began to follow a little outline and share what was in my heart, the words just began to flow. And before I knew it, I had an entire chapter that had to be cut down for cryin outloud! LOL

So, after a few revisions, there it was, my portion of a book that was filled with Best-selling authors and other professionals who were sharing their personal stories as well.

And it has been one of my greatest accomplishments thus far!

I decided to sit down and write this little email to you because I wanted to share my accomplishment with you. I wanted you to see that I dug deep down inside and pulled out a leader that was already there. I wanted you to stop and realize that the leader you desire is within you as well, you may just need to pull him/her out! And boy what a ride it is when you do!

The book I co-authored is called “The Power of Leadership, Finding the Leader Within” and is filled with stories of others who have overcome, beat the odds, and just overall made things happen.

I’d love for you to head over to my site and get your very own “Special Collector’s Edition” of the book. Just click on the link below…

http://www.WhereIsYourPower.com

I only have 97 copies left and I thought, who else to share these stories with other than YOU, my friend!

Personal development is something that no matter what is going on in the world, people are still concerned with. Most understand that you must take care of self, before you can really be of any value to others…

Grab a copy of the book, read it and add it to your collection of materials that you can always reference to help you keep pushing forward!
