Thinking About Retirement?

They say that Retirement is the day you finally stop living at work and start working at living. This is a moment in time that is mostly thought of for the elders in our society that have worked for forty years and finally reached a point in life where they can start a new journey, Retirement. No job, no stress, no alarm clock and no commute, what a glorious thing to be retired.

Retirement is a time to start one’s Golden Phase and learn to live again and give your childhood dreams one more try. But statistics show that most people are not ready or able to retire even when they have reached this special time of life. The old American Dream of get a good job, work 40 years and retire with benefits is harder and harder to accomplish. Too often we see the elders squeezed out of the job market, let go before they reach that magical point and replaced with younger, cheaper talent. And that is understandable but really hard on those that have worked so hard only to find out they are not needed and too expensive to keep around. It’s a vicious cycle that is playing out every day with those of us that are over 50 and still working.

Retirement is suppose to be a time of Adventure, Relaxation, Friendships and Travel. But, the statistics show that the average savings of a 50 year old in America are only $42,797.00 and yet you will need over $700,000.00 in savings just to maintain an income of $4,000.00 or so a month, which is less than $50G per year to live off of. All at a time in life when medical cost increase, cost of living in general continues to increase, cost of food, electric and all the daily needs just go up as our time passes by. As much as 80 percent of people 30-54 fear they will not have enough money saved up to even be able to retire in their later years. So what gives? Do You have a plan to reach this Golden Phase in life?

How about we offer an alternative, a different plan that can not only provide a great income but also offer better Health, Wealth and Happiness. A plan that you can start on now, and make it work even if you are already over 50 or even later in life. You get to meet new and exciting people that are positive and motivated to experience all that life has to offer. You get to experience new and exciting nutrition products that can Elevate your Health and help you live a better, more productive life. You get the opportunity to make some extra income and Elevate your Wealth so you have more resources to travel and do the things you always thought retirement would be like. And all this makes you a Happier Retired Awesome person that others can only envy. It sure beats sitting on the couch watching Judge Judy reruns eating ramen noodles!

Retirement should be a time of Joy and Adventure not a time of loneliness and depravity. Network Marketing is one of the smartest journeys you can start whether you are 20 years old or 55 years old. But if you are already speeding down the journey of life wondering what the heck to do now then Network Marketing can be a game changer for your retirement. It makes for a great avenue to meet new people, make new friends and network with those that are positive and adventurous. Spend your time planning your next exciting vacation instead of your next afternoon of playing cards or watching that dream stealing box called TV. Learn about new and exciting nutrition products that can bring great benefit to your health and help you live a longer, healthier life instead of piling up your next round of pharmaceutical poison. Plus you can create an extra income that can completely change the quality of life you get to live in this Golden time. The rewards of Network Marketing can be an extra $500 per month or $10,000 per month if you just spend a little time sharing your vision and telling others about Your Great Lifestyle! It’s a Glorious thing!

You Are going to grow old, no way around it. You will have to face that time when you have to choose what direction you are going to be headed when these years sneak up on you. It should be a time that you put away the old daily commute, arrogant boss and stress of the daily work grind and start a new journey and a new direction. Network Marketing is Perfect for Anyone that wants to live this time with Joy and Purpose. So how will you spend this time? Don’t let retirement end up being a time of loneliness and depravity just wishing that someone would come and visit or deciding on what to buy, your medicine or some groceries. I know, it’s Tuff Love but it is reality and it really is your choice. This scenario is playing out every day all over the country and it comes to us all. We are now 56 years young and the thought of retirement is staring us down hard and fast. We choose to face this time in life with Excitement, Adventure and the best health we can muster. We choose Network Marketing because it offers the best of Health, Wealth and Happiness!

The Dream Catcher

The Dream Catcher originated with the Ojibwe people and later adopted by most Native Americans as a symbol of Unity among the various Native Nations. The mothers and grandmothers would weave magical webs using willow branches and sinew or cordage made from plants. It was believed that the Dream Catcher would catch the bad dreams and only let the good dreams pass to you in your sleep. Once the sun rose all the bad dreams and thoughts that were caught in the web would disappear.

We can learn a lot from those that have gone before us and lived a life that we can’t even imagine today. I think we could all use a Dream Catcher these days to help filter the negative dreams and thoughts we all must face in the day in and day out fight for control of our own mind. It is absolutely true that we are what we think and if your thoughts are positive and good then you can experience that in your life but if they are negative and bad then that will be your experience.

We all have Dreams that we wish our life would be like. To some it’s more time, for some it’s more money and for some it’s just a simpler life. Too often we get caught up in the “keep up with the Jones” mindset and think we need to have the new house, two new cars, the credit cards and material things that we see others with and compare our situation to theirs with envy. I know because we have been there as well. We had the new house, we had a Lexus in the driveway a Corvette just sitting there and our daughters drove nice cars as well. We looked like we were living the Dream but in reality we were up to our eyeballs in debt and really didn’t own anything. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with having the nicer things in life. . . when you can afford them. Just don’t become a slave to debt to the point that you loose control over your precious life.

We call it “The Simple Life” now. Our Dream was to get out of debt where we could enjoy what we made and live a life full of Joy instead of stress. We still have a nice quaint little house, we live on the lake with a boat in the slip, we have nice vehicles and all but the best part of all is we have NO payments. We do pay rent and it took us 6 years to find our current dream house that is a small cabin like place with a big screened in porch right on the lake, no place I’d rather be. We work for ourself, get up when we want and do what we want with whom we want and spend lots of time just enjoying LIFE. That was our Dream and we Love our Simple Life. We caught our Dream!

We don’t tell you this for envy but to say that after 54 years of living we finally sat down and decided what was important to us, where we wanted to be, and designed a life that fit that situation. You can do this too! If you are buried in debt, stressed to the max and not happy with your situation then You are the only one that can make the change. Maybe it’s time to Catch Your Dream and simplify Your life? This is a process and you can’t change your situation over night but you can change the direction you are headed. We see people all the time that jump into Network Marketing because they bought into the hype and thought they would make a fortune overnight. Problem is that Network Marketing is not a “get rich quick” plan. But it is a way to change the direction and reset the sail so to speak.

We love Network Marketing because it gives the average person the best opportunity to live their Dream if they will just Commit, Educate and ACT. Commit to the process and find your reason that is going to keep you going even when your struggling to get started. Educate yourself with the knowledge to move your Networking journey forward. Learn what you need to become a Successful Networker and develop the skills to inspire others to do the same. But most of all, ACT! Take Massive Action and do the deal, don’t just talk about it Do IT! If you wanted to earn a Doctors pay you would have to commit to being a doctor, educate yourself on how to be a doctor and then go be a doctor. Networking is the same process. Commit to the change, Educate yourself in the “how” and Go forth and Be a Network Marketing Success story.

People ask us all the time “what are you selling?”. Know what, we sell the Dream! The dream to be better, to live fuller and Enjoy Life. The Dream to be who you want to be and to live the Simple Life that everyone dreams about. Can everyone do it? Yes but not everyone will succeed at it because their reason, or their “Why”, just wasn’t strong enough to push them to change. Want to change where you are then you have to change what you are doing and change your daily habits to lead your life in a different direction. Catch Your Dream!

We work with all kinds of people from different walks of life. Professionals, blue collar white collar, moms and housewives, young and old and it really doesn’t matter where you are, it matters where you want to be. We can give you all the tools and education to learn a new life-skill that can Dramatically change the direction you are headed. All you have to do is Commit, Educate and ACT! It really is that Simple!

From the Head or From the Heart?

So, where is your passion for life coming from? Are you living from the fears of your own mind or from the desires of your heart. The biggest cause of fear is the uncertainty of what could happen, what could go wrong or what will others think? This overwhelming uncertainty can cause us to fear opportunities instead of face them so we often miss out on great experiences because the change becomes uncomfortable, not knowing what to expect. Wanting to move forward, we often let the fear of the unknown rob us of a chance at better happiness and greater security in life.

Most of life’s situations are judged by either inspiration or desperation. Sometimes we are inspired to move forward and change and sometimes we feel pushed by desperation to make a move or change certain situations in life. The desperate moves often come from our over analytical minds and usually pushed on us from outside forces like peer pressure or even family situations. We make choices based on what others think is good for us instead of what we think is good. Where inspirational change usually comes from within or from the heart where we have an internal desire to make a change or try something new.

The “head” tries to analyze everything and sometimes creates worst-case scenarios that can hold us captive to our current situation, always wondering what could go wrong instead of what can go right. Our minds start to tell us why we can’t accomplish a goal instead of inspiring us why we can. But when we make the change from the heart then the inspiration and feelings of confidence can override our fears and move us forward to a new journey in life. If we are pushed into change by our fears then the change stands little chance of success but when we are inspired to change from within, from the heart, then we are able to face the fear and move forward.

When the inspiration comes from the heart we begin to focus on what can go Right instead of what could go wrong. We start to see problems as opportunity or pathways and stop focusing on the fear. We begin to look inside for answers, instead of blaming others for our current situations, and start to let go of things or even people that no longer serve our journey in life. We start to figure out that it is more about the journey than the destination.

So, what motivates You? Are you inspired by your heart and excited about opportunity or, are you desperate from your thinking, scared to step out and be different from the herd. The Heart says “Yes You Can!” where the head says “that’s too scary, don’t think so, I’ll just stay here.” It’s time to get Inspired by Your Heart and look deep within for the dreams you hold so dear. It’s Time to find your passion and learn to pursue your Dreams so your life’s journey is an Awesome story and not just a sad tale of fear. By looking deep inside you will be Amazed at what you are capable of and discover the dreams that inspire you to Move Forward along this journey of life. Get Inspired! Don’t let fear or the uncertain mind hold you back. From the Head or From the Heart, it’s your choice.

In the world of Network Marketing this becomes very relative to our own success and especially to those we partner with in our business. If you are having to “sell” or “convince” people that Network Marketing is a better way then you will see a lot of failure in your business because they were not ready for Success. Unless they have the burning desire to make a change and learn something new then they will have a hard time moving forward because they came from the desperate mind and not the inspired heart. We look for those that are inspired to move forward and really want to change their current situation. We look for those that are looking for us! They have to make up their own mind that “Now IS the Time” for them to move forward with their journey and are willing to make the changes that can lead them to Success. I call it, “Is Your Biscuit Cooked?”, you can click on that link and read the blog I wrote about that as well. If it’s Your Time, Your Biscuit is Cooked, we can help. We look for like minded, inspired people that are ready to make the change and pursue their dreams, No Excuses!

Twenty Years From Now

Mark Twain once wrote; “Twenty Years from now you will be more disappointed by the things You didn’t do than by the ones you did do.”

Twenty years seem like such a long time, until it passes and you realize all those things you were going to accomplish have somehow gone unfinished. Life has a way of distracting our dreams and desires of our youth and sometimes, too often, keeps us in a situation that we really did not want. We get comfortable with our day to day life and just live in the now instead of our dreams, letting life keep us in the box. Twenty Years from now, where will you be?

This “comfort zone” that we all hear so much about is the daily struggle to pay bills, take care of our family and just get by in life and we have All been there. Sometimes it’s easier to just go with what you know instead of breaking out and taking another path, a path less traveled but a journey to a better life. Only by taking risk and learning different skill sets do we change the direction we are headed and move forward toward a more fulfilling life. Another Great quote is; “Never give up on a dream because of the time it will take to accomplish it, the time will pass anyway.” ~Earl Nightingale.

So, Twenty Years from now, what are you going to be doing and where will you be in your journey called life? This time is going to go by way quicker than you think and twenty years from now you will look back and say, Wow that was great or darn I should have done something different. It’s Your story and you are writing it day by day, you are the author, creator and You control this story of you. What do you want your story to be about? Will it be about drama and all the negative situations that made up the last twenty years or will this story be about adventure and fun times with positive people all around with memories that will last a lifetime?

You can’t change the direction of the wind but you Can change the set of the sail. Are you steering the ship or just drifting in the wind? You have the very unique ability to learn new skills and change your thinking to adjust the direction of life if you just re-set the sail. There is So Much More you can accomplish if you just decide what you want, determine what it will take to get there and just make a plan to GO, no excuses accepted. If it’s new skills you need then find the training and learn the gig, do the work and reap the reward. Maybe it’s the “friends” you have or the ones you hang around with that keep you where you are. Or maybe it’s all in your head? Yeah I know, sometimes that’s the only place it needs to be to affect your daily habits. What ever it is that is holding you back is of your own making and only You can make the change.

Twenty Years from now don’t be disappointed by what you didn’t do just because you let it slip by. Fear is just False Emotions Appearing Real and it steals more peoples dreams than anything in life. You can lean a new skill and put a plan into action that will make a difference Twenty Years from now. You are more powerful than you think and you are more capable than you know but only You can keep your dreams alive. Only You have the power to move your life in a direction that You want it to go. Only You have control over the next Twenty Years.

There are SO many things I wished I had done in the last Twenty Years and so many things I want to do in the next Twenty Years. Twenty Years from now I will be 73 and that is Amazing to say the least. The next Twenty Years are more important than the last because I have control over them where the last twenty are only a memory now. Oh, what I should have done and didn’t are just part of what I did do that makes us who we are and describes the value we bring to our life’s existence. Twenty Years From NOW, how Exciting is that?

We are on a mission to help others Elevate their Happiness and enjoy more of what life has to offer. We work in the Network Marketing arena because it gives an average person a chance to be Extraordinary. Yes you have to learn the skills and do the work but it way easier than going to school for years and years getting thousands and thousands of dollars in debt to become a lawyer or doctor or some other “professional” to make a living. If you just spent the next couple of years learning the simple skills need to excel at Network Marketing you could live the next Twenty Years in Amazing style. It’s your choice and your life and no one else can adjust your sail, it’s up to You!

Get to know us and see what we are up to that might be of benefit to you. Want to speak with us, all you have to do is reach out and have a conversation.

Are Vacations Good for Your Health?

Could a Vacation actually be good for your health?

Research now proves that vacations are truly good for your physical health as well as your mental wellbeing. Today we want to bring you 7 ways to benefit from taking a vacation. The sad statistic is that only 4 out of 10 Americans will actually take their vacation time according to the U.S. Travel Association. Most skip out on taking their vacation due to the dreaded work pile they will encounter upon returning to their j.o.b. This is usually brought about by the “martyr” complex that leads people to believe that they are the only ones that can do their job, and sometimes, rightfully so.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics show that 9 million workers took a vacation in 1976 but only 7 million workers took a vacation in 2014. This survey found that most workers leave as much as 9.2 days of vacation unused and not taken advantage of here in America. Although some companies are encouraging a better balance between work, life and happiness many workers find it too stressful to take off like they should. Most U.S, workers have access to vacation time and it should be used for better health and wellbeing. Vacations are really good for you!

Here are 7 Ways to Benefit from Vacation:

Better Health: It has been proven that taking time off from the day to day grind reduces stress which leads to less risk of heart disease of heart attacks. Vacations can get you out of the rat race and give you time to unwind mentally and physically, leading to less stress and better health.
More Productive: Workers that take their vacation regularly are usually more productive upon returning to their work. Sometimes just getting away from work can give you the time you need to reset your mental clarity and return to work with more emphasis on your job and with a better work ethic.
Closer Family Relationship: One of the biggest benefits of taking a real Vacation is the effects on family relationships. This time spent enjoying family memories and adventures together become some of the most cherished family memories shared for many years to come. Family vacations help create better family bonds for the long term and bring families closer together in many ways.
Newer Perspective: Sometimes we just need to step away from our daily grind to get a better perspective of what we are doing and why. These moments of clarity remind us why we do what we do day in and day out. It helps to bring focus and gives us a better perspective of where we are in life and what is really important to us. Sometimes the view from the outside looking in is somewhat different then what we see on the inside looking out and this different environment gives us a better internal view of life.
Increased Mental Power: All work and no play might make you feel powerful at your work place but it can really drain the brains ability to be its best. We can use vacation time to replenish this brain power and get better clarity of who we are and what it is that we work so hard for. This gives the mind time to rest and look at things in a different light to analyze our current situation. Sometimes this reset of our brain power leads to some of our best ideas.
Lower Chance of Burn Out: This is a common problem in many work environments where people are working the grind 50 or even 60 hours a week, trying to keep everything going in one direction. Taking the time to go on vacation can break the cycle of Burn Out and increase your chance of not suffering burn out at work. Burn out is one of the biggest killers of work productivity and just causes more stress in the work place. Vacations break the cycle and allow you to step away long enough to reset yourself for a happier life.
Improved Mental Health: Vacation time gives us feelings of calm and relieves stress allowing the mind and body time to heal in ways it can’t when it’s under stress. Too often the stress from work not only brings us down mentally but can also affect our physical health that only brings on more mental stress. Vacations are a way to let your mind and body unwind and get away from the crazy life we live in the 9 to 5 grind.
Vacations can be Great for our health, wellbeing and overall Happiness. So, put the phone down, gather up the family and step away from the grind. Take this time to grow closer to the ones you love and spend time together. Again, PUT the Phone DOWN! If you are going to step away then Step Away from your work and normal grind. Don’t take the time to spend with your head down in your dumb phone. Get to know your kids, reconnect with your wife or significant other and truly spend the time together, not staring at the phone! Enjoy life and Love a Lot, play with your kids and let them know how much you really care. This time can heal many frustrating days when you just want to go crazy in the daily grind.

We want to help people Get Paid to live a Simple Life by enjoying more time with family and friends. Our goal is to help you create a lifestyle that brings about more freedom and security for you and your family and lifts you up to a better life. Vacations can be expensive but well worth it.

Traffic, How and Where to Get It

There seems to be this magical, mystical ingredient that is keeping SO many people from achieving success. Anyone that is trying to get their opportunity or content is Always searching for it and everyone thinks it’s the magic ingredient they are missing, Well, they just might be right.

Traffic is King when it comes to getting your message out there. Everyone wants it and Needs it but many struggle to find it. Traffic can be the one ingredient that gets you business or keeps you from seeing the results you are truly after. Traffic, what is it anyway? Traffic is often referred to as having unique or repeat visitors to your site, blog or offering via capture pages or however you are trying to get your message out.

There are basically three types of traffic. The first is Paid Traffic or Traffic you control and can be very effective if you know how to do it and where to get it. The second is Traffic you do Not control or traffic that is organic or free. This type of traffic usually takes more time and effort but it doesn’t cost you to much to get and it’s great when your content or media delivers it to you. Don’t worry, we are going to break this down a bit as we go. The last is the Traffic that you Own and this is usually from your list. I know you have heard “The Money is in the List” and that is certainly correct. When you have spent the time and effort to create a list then you can take your offers, products or just content to your list and you get Instant traffic. So let’s break it down a bit.

Paid Traffic or traffic you control is just that. You create your offer be it capture page, video offering, blog post or what ever you are trying to get people to and you purchase visitors to your offer. The most important part of paid traffic is having a compelling offer that converts. You have to be able to grab someones attention quickly and make them Want To open your offering. We do this with email marketing, driving traffic to our blog post or driving them to a clever capture page to get them to opt into our mailing list or review our sales material. Paid traffic is very effective if done right and it can include PPC (pay per click) it can be solo ads (rent someones list) or now even Facebook advertising is very popular. The type of offer you are presenting often determines the type of paid traffic you go after. The Great thing about paid traffic is it can be “scaled” up or down. If your offer is converting and you are getting a good ROI (return on investment) from your ad or content then you can scale up to increase the amount of eyeballs that are viewing your offer. You can test different approaches and determine where you should drive more traffic or where to stop. Paid Traffic is Fantastic if done Right!

Organic Traffic is traffic you don’t really control but you get because of the work you have put into your content and blogs and such. If you are going to have a blog, which we HIGHLY recommend, then you can always insert specific keywords and SEO (search engine optimization) to bring you organic type traffic. Any site or blog that you create and post content to can have certain keywords that will be picked up by different search engines that will key on your content when people do searches in their favorite search engine. This takes some effort to create but once it is done it is Always there and you can get good, specific traffic from this effort. Blogs are one of the best ways to generate organic traffic because the search engines pick up on blog content really well, takes some effort up front but can pay dividends for years to come. This is why we call it Traffic you don’t control, it’s just brought to you from efforts you put into branding your self or your team. Everyone should be doing this if they are at all serious about being a Top Income Earner in Network Marketing.

The last but Not least of these Traffic methods is traffic you Own! One of the most productive activities that you can undertake is the creation of your list. Once you build your list from people that have opted into your blog, capture page or simple capture form, then you can return to this list to present new offerings when ever you have them or just to keep your team informed on what is happening and relevant to your efforts. This is truly Traffic you own because you own your list. Whenever you post a new blog then create an email about your blog post and take it to your list, Instant Traffic! Have a new product to offer, take it to your list and Instant Traffic and instant sales. Your list becomes one of the biggest key ingredients to your traffic because you can create traffic any time you want it by just going to your list. “The Money is in the List!” Especially when it comes to traffic. If you have built your list then it cost you nothing to generate Instant Traffic to any offering you want to promote.

So the next time you are sitting there thinking “man if I just had some traffic?” you will know exactly how to get it. You can really get traffic anytime you want it you just need to make sure that what you are driving the traffic to is powerful and converts. All the traffic in the world will not make you money unless you have compelling content that converts visitors into prospects and prospects into SALES! Take the time to put together good content via your blog or website or what ever your media choice and then drive some traffic to it, test it and scale accordingly. Traffic is King!

Time to get Real Folks

There is a Great disservice going on in marketing today. You see it All over the internet and spewed by all the self proclaimed guru marketers. I mean it is Truly Everywhere. I know you have heard it too. “Just join my team and you can make Big Money and you don’t have to talk to anyone!” What a crock!

You see people it’s Time to Get REAL Folks! I know they say you never have to talk to anyone, just “automate” your business and you can hit the big time, oh and pay me $997 and I will teach you how.” And what’s worse is people are falling for it left and right. Network Marketing is a business, we have products and we have customers and we have team members. If you are not willing to communicate with people and talk to prospects then you have Very little chance of making it in this business.

Can you imagine telling your children; “Hey little Johnny, to Succeed in life you don’t have to talk with anyone or learn any new life skills just follow my B.S. course and you will go far in life.” Not going to happen. We have to develop communication skills and teach our self new skills all the time. If you are not learning you are not growing. Our society has gotten so used to being entertained all the time and just vegetating in front of the dream stealer called TV hiding out in their house and hiding behind their computer. People, you got to get Out of your comfort zone and talk to people, it’s called “Networking” for a reason.

We know that many people are uncomfortable talking with new people and not sure what to say in some situations but that is NO Excuse not to learn. This thing called the “comfort zone” is holding most people back from Greatness. I know that most people are very comfortable talking about what they do for a living because that is where they know the most about the subject of their work. Ask me about my job and what I do and you can spit that conversation out No Prob. This is only because you are most informed and comfortable talking about a subject you know most about. So, learn about your biz opp company and how it works and what it does so that you can be comfortable talking about that as well. Know your products and how the comp plan works, study the reasons that your opportunity is great and why you joined in the first place, then you can talk with others about it and be comfortable in the conversation.

There is NO Easy button when it comes to Success. I tell people all the time; “If it was Easy then everyone would be doing it and there would be no money to it”. And it’s not that it’s hard, but it does take some study and some effort (work) to become a Great Network Marketer. If you think you are just going to join a program and sit and make the Big Bucks, you are sadly mistaken and will meet with much frustration and quit, there you go right back to that J.O.B. that you hate so much. They call it a J.O.B. because it stands for Just Over Broke!

Stop falling for all the sales pitch that tells you “if you only buy my course, You can make it big!” Stop looking for the easy button and learn something and get to work. Network Marketing has the potential to make you more money in a month then most people make in a year. It can bring about a lifestyle that most only dream of if you do it right. Yes, you are going to have to learn new life skills. Yes, you are going to have to talk to people. Yes, you Are going to have to get off your butt and DO IT or you are just wasting your time. The people I personally know that make 5 and 6 figure months are Action Takers! They don’t spend their time in front of the TV eating cheetos and twinkies watching the latest Kardashian crap. They constantly learn new ways to increase their teams and business volume to create more income. They talk with people on their team and new prospects everyday building an Empire that will last a lifetime. They “Commit, Educate and ACT” everyday because that is what it takes.

If you are looking for the Easy way out, then you are in the wrong place. BUT, if you are teachable and willing to learn new skills that can build an organization of like-minded people that are all heading in the same direction as you, then you too can have the Massive Success with Network Marketing. If you need some help or direction in your journey then I would suggest that you reach out to us and find out what we are doing to live the lifestyle that we LOVE. You have to “Commit, Educate and ACT”, that’s all there is to it.

Success In 3 Simple Steps

We are often asked about the Easiest way to Succeed in this business. And that is a loaded question because there are so many aspects to Networking but there are Three Simple Steps that can use to drastically improve your results in your Networking career. If you just focus on these you will see a great improvement in your results.

The first step is to Improve Your Skills. You should always be studying ways to improve your skill set and increase your results. This can be done in many different ways such as watching videos, reading self help books and learning from your mentor. The challenge here is to not get distracted in what you are doing. You need to learn and improve but you still have to take action. We see too many people spend all their time trying to learn to be perfect before they actually do something and that is a business killer. Take Action and then improve on your skills involved in your actions. Don’t wait till you are perfect to get started or you will never get started. There is an old saying that goes; You don’t have to be perfect to get going BUT you have to get going to be perfect. Take Action and improving on what you are doing is a Great step in the right direction.

The second step is to Get Over Your Fears! The number one killer to most people’s dreams is the fear factor. They are afraid of what others will think, or they are afraid of talking to someone and so on. Fear is your worst enemy. We tell our team all the time that this fear is in your own mind and you can conquer your fears by doing what scares you most. Just do it! Sometimes it’s a fear of failure that keeps people from reaching their dreams but if you haven’t failed then you have not even tried. It doesn’t matter how many times you get knocked down, it only matters how many times you get back up! F.E.A.R stands for False Emotions Appearing Real. We all have our own fears and we must face fear head on and just try anyway. Often you can kick fear to the curb by just trying a new action and you soon realize it was no big deal at all. Don’t let fear steal your Dreams!

The third Simple Step is Never Quit! We all get beat up sometimes and face many challenges along the way. Sometimes it seems as though we are just never going to reach that Big goal so people just quit. We tell everyone that; “If it was Easy then everyone would do it and there would be no reward for getting it done”. If you want Massive Success then you have to make up your mind that you are going to keep moving forward, No Matter what. Sometimes you are SO close to your success, you’ve been working hard and pushing forward but just not quite where you wanted to be so people quit. That is usually about the time you are going to have a big breakthrough and gain momentum in your journey. If you quit then all your efforts are in vain and you will never get where you want to be in your business or your life. Yes you will go through the ups and downs of building your business but you have to keep moving forward to achieve Success. Do you remember the name of that guy that quit? Yeah me neither! Do you know the name of that guy that just kept going and is now on the stage with the big checks? Yeah me too, I can name many of them and they are only there because they kept moving when all they wanted to do is quit. Quitters Never Win and Winners Never Quit! Don’t give up on your dreams just because you hit some hard times.

Three Simple Steps to Massive Success:
1. Improve Your Skills
2. Get over Your Fears
3. Never Quit

Apply these three simple steps to Success in your Network Marketing business and you will see improvement in your results. Success is a science and should not be left up to chance. You need a game plan to get you started and keep you going in the right direction.

How to Stay Motivated

Whenever we first get started on a new project it is much easier to be motivated and doing something. But as time goes by and we continue to move forward it’s much harder to stay motivated to do the things we Must do to achieve our goal that we started with.

Feeling defeated will Never lead to Success and it can kill a dream quickly. So here are a few steps to help you Stay Motivated and moving forward along your personal journey.

*Take One Day at a Time. Don’t spend too much time worrying about tomorrow when you can Live in today. Do the things today that need to be done and be Grateful for Today. Live one day at a time and make it your Masterpiece!

*Surround Yourself with Positivity! Be Positive about what you are doing and surround yourself with people and situations that support you. Don’t let negative people bring you down and rain on your parade. It is so easy these days to find Positive teachings and videos on the internet. If you spend more time feeding your mind with Positive thoughts, you will see more Positive influence in your overall life.

*Create a Vision board. Sometimes we need to have a visual to remind us Why we started in the first place. A vision board is a great way to keep your dreams and goals right in front of your eyes. Reflect on this vision board often and make it as detailed as possible and this will help to keep you focused on moving forward each day!

*Make S.M.A.R.T. Goals. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-bound. So be Specific about what you really want. Make sure your goals are Measurable so you know how it’s going. Also make sure this goal is Attainable in the real world, don’t wish to be a millionaire by tomorrow but you can work toward being a Millionaire. Make sure your goals are Relevant to what you want to accomplish. Then put a time frame on when you want to reach each specific goal. If you do not make that date it’s not the end of the world, just re-evaluate and move forward.

*Reward Yourself. Make sure to reward yourself when you reach a specific goal or point in your journey. There is no sweeter reward then crossing off the task at hand, Reward Yourself for your Victories!

*Believe in Yourself. There is an old saying; “If You Believe in Yourself, Anything is Possible!” Another one goes; “If you believe you can Or you believe you can’t, You are right!” You have to believe that you are capable of doing the things that are going to get you where you want to go. Your belief is going to make ALL the difference.

*Recognize your Progress. It will take Progress to keep moving forward toward your desire. Don’t confuse motion with progress, a rocking horse has motion but does not make progress. Progress means you Are moving Forward toward your goals. Make sure you are making Progress and not just making excuses.

*Visualize Accomplishing Your Goals. See yourself as you want to be when you have reached your desired goal. Make sure you visualize what You really want and not what others want of you. Visualize the things you want, see it, believe it and then take Action to create it. Visualize to Actualize!

*Be Kind to Yourself and Don’t Compare Yourself to others. Stand guard over your thoughts and make sure you are speaking to Yourself as you would to someone you love. Be careful how you are speaking to yourself because you are listening. Don’t let yourself fall into the trap of comparing your success to someone else. It is Your journey and not theirs. We each have different skill sets and great attributes and abilities and thus we are each very different. Be Yourself and don’t be too hard on yourself, there are plenty of people willing to do that for you. Be Proud even if you are making a few mistakes along the way because it means that You are trying. Be the Best You can be and rejoice in it.

*Be GRATEFUL. And last but not least, Be Grateful for what you already have. Too often we spend time upset about what we do not have instead of being Grateful for what we do have. Take time to evaluate all the good things you have Today. Being Grateful is the Greatest form of Happiness. We may not have everything we want but we Always have things to be Grateful for. Live Simply, Dream Big, Be Grateful, Give Love and Laugh Lots! That’s the secret to life right there.

These are just a few things that can help keep you motivated and moving forward. You have to motivate yourself as well as surround yourself with others that have the same mindset and goals. It starts with you and only you can get you where you want to go. Others can help, or hurt, but the real difference will come from within YOU!

Stay Motivated and Moving Forward and You can reach your desired goal or situation that started this journey in the first place. We are always here to help and would love to be one that can help you stay the course and moving forward. Surround Yourself with like minded people that will lift you up and support your cause, we can help with that.

As Always, you can reach out to us so we can connect and feed each other’s dreams. You can learn more about who we are and what makes us tick at our personal website at DeanAndDena.com. You will find all our contact info and see what we are up to that might help you achieve your goals as well.

So You’re New to Network Marketing

Deciding to become a Network Marketer is a Big decision. You took your time and did your research and decided to take the plunge, jump in feet first and become a Networker. You are going to Rock this “thing” and change your current lifestyle and financial situation. Great Move!

Now what? Now is the time to commit to your new mission and here are a few things you Really need to lock in your mind. These are some cold hard facts about Network Marketing that will determine if you will make the first 90 days, first 6 months or even your first year in Network Marketing.

First you MUST remember why you started in the first place. What was it that made you step off into this new endeavor? What is your “Why” that is going to keep you going on the bad days when you just want to quit? This needs to be right in front of you Every day to remind you why you started and what is the reward for keeping on and staying the course. You need to be very specific about your “Why” so that you know Exactly what it is that you wanted to accomplish. Make a vision board or post some pictures, write it down and carry it in your pocket or whatever you need to do to keep this front and center so it keeps moving you in the right direction.

You have to know that Network Marketing is a “Long term” commitment. This isn’t something you can “try” and see if it works for you. It works for those who put in the effort and stay to the course. Network Marketing is built for “Residual Income” and you have to have a long term commitment so you stay on course and continue to move forward. If you are willing to put in the time and effort now, and hustle now building your organization then you can reap the benefits for years to come. But, You have to be committed to process for the long term and get rid of the idea that you are just trying this thing out. Do today what others won’t and you can do tomorrow what others can’t!

You need to release all of your need for “acceptance” from your friends and family. You have to know that what you are doing is for You and not them. It really doesn’t matter what they think or what they say because it is Not their journey. If you require that everyone is going to support and or accept what you are doing then you will not make it in this business. Know that some are going to talk trash, laugh at what you are doing and even tell you that “that stuff never works” but it’s all just their fear and ignorance and not yours. You cannot surround yourself with people that don’t support you and cannot see your vision. Some may even have to go! You need to know that some people just cannot see themselves ever succeeding so they will do anything they can to make sure you don’t either. You do Not need this acceptance or approval from them because you started this journey for a reason and you are making changes to improve Your life and change Your current situation.

The benefit of Succeeding in Network Marketing is that you lift yourself up to a better lifestyle and financial freedom. You free yourself from debt and a life of working all the time. You improve you financial situation and lifestyle in ways that set your Free of the oppression that has become the American dream. Go to school, rack up debt, get a good job, that pays little, work your life away and MAYBE some day you can retire. What a joke! Maybe back in the early American industrial days this was a good plan but in the job market today it just doesn’t hold water. Success with Network Marketing leads to Freedom! We call this the “Simple Life” and we Absolutely Love it. You can have this Simple Life as well if you commit and stay the course.

You need to start to work on Yourself and improve your skills and mindset. This includes self improvement through books, videos, seminars or where ever you can indulge your mind in a Positive and Creative learning experience. You cannot spend all your time watching TV and expect to change how your life is going. If you spent near as much time in Positive Life Changing content as you do watching that dream stealing box called TV you would see a major difference in what is going on in your head. You have to improve yourself to see a better You that is going to learn how to be successful in Network Marketing.

When you are new to Network Marketing it is the most important time of your new career. You took on this new endeavor so that you could make Positive changes in your life. You wanted things to be different than what your current situation was and you had enough vision to see that Yes You Can do this. Now is the time to learn and most importantly DO! We call this: Commit, Educate and ACT! You must commit to what you want to accomplish, You must Educate yourself on how to accomplish this and Most Importantly you have to ACT! Just DO It!

You need the tools, training and systems to make your new business work and we can help you with this. We have put together a “Game Plan” that includes all the parts of the puzzle to Succeed with Network Marketing. We bring the tools of the trade, the training you need to get started and moving forward and we bring the Support that you need to keep going.
