You are deep in thought. Or, trying to eat supper. Or, into a very needed deep conversation with a family member or friend. And the phone rings!! Your brain gets flustered. You answer the phone with an irate voice just to hear a pre-recorded message from a politician or a telemarketer. No human to yell at. You become irrational - yelling to a phone. You can't say STOP calling me! Your fuse is lit and about to blow. Your eyes get big and your brain goes haywire. You listed your phone number... Read Full Story

Sometimes we all feel like this. All stressed out and believing we have no where to go. That there is nothing we can do to change the situation we are in. We feel like life is just too much for us to handle. Can't take any more. I am going to make a statement that I am sure that some will disagree with: Stress is not always bad. Okay, I know what you are thinking: I must have lost my cookies to state something like that. But, if you will do some research you will see that the statement is... Read Full Story

Millions of people a day use Facebook for socializing and business. Including myself. Most of us are moral, ethical individuals but not all. It is a sad state when we have to be on the look out for those that only want to cause us harm in some way. Today while eating lunch I happen to come across a TV show on HLN with Clark Howard . He does a regular segment on HLN and I have watched his show before. Today I was paying half attention until I heard Facebook Scams. My ears perked up and... Read Full Story

A lot of times in our life we desperately need something or someone to help us move forward. The same can be said of those of us that own our own business. We just need a little boost. A little spark of something that will keep us going. And, give us some inner energy to keep moving forward toward our why we started down this path to begin with. I tend to be a very optimistic person but even at times I have needed a calm fire put under by back side to get me moving on. I read a book... Read Full Story

The figures below are enough to make you pull your hair out, hold your head in disbelief and stress yourself to the max. So, why would I post something like this. It certainly isn't like anything else that I have shared on this blog. I try to give you inspiration and motivation not desperation. The reason: seeing facts can inspire and motivate all of us. Especially when those facts involve how we are going to sustain ourselves. These figures are real! We can't afford to stand by and allow... Read Full Story

“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.” [Stanford commencement speech, June 2005] “I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it...

Yes, Vince Lombardi was a great football coach. I don't believe that you can argue about that. But do you know what his philosophy about life and business was that propelled him to be such a success? You see, what Lombardi expected was success. Nothing less! Success in his daily life. Success as a football coach - in his field of occupation - his business.  He communicates such strong visions of excellence, discipline, commitment, and of course, winning. These are characteristics which... Read Full Story

I am sure that a lot of you have seen this video by Pat Petrini. Each time I watch it I have to laugh because it is one of the truest videos on the market showing just how wrong some people can think. As Jim Rohn said, "You can't say the wrong thing to the right person, and you can't say the right thing to the wrong person. ~ Jim Rohn (One of my favorite quotes - has sort of a tongue-in-cheek meaning. Especially after watching this video.) Really fits this video. Don't you think? It is... Read Full Story

Change is Good - You Go First As a leader you must empower change to others joining you. In network marketing we build teams to promote a company/product. A lot of the people joining us may be set in their own manner of doing this. The reason for this might be that they have been in (direct) network marketing for many years and think that they have all of this down pat. Let me tell you my story. I actually started in direct marketing back the 1980s with a company that is still around... Read Full Story

There are some great truths in this movie. In life as in business we live as a team. No one can totally be alone. We have a family which forms a team. We have friends which forms a team. If we have a job we have co-workers which form a team. In our business we form relationships with others which forms a team. A team is a group of individuals that come together for a common purpose.  This cultivates trust, respect, unity and power within the team. A team gives strength to the whole group... Read Full Story
