Is Your Reason Good Enough?

Everyone is looking for some kind of “Change” in their life. For some it’s to change their current financial situation for others it’s a change of status or lifestyle or even where you live, but “Change” is a common desire for most people. This desire to change current situations can be a growing experience or, for some it is the change itself that holds so many people back from their dreams. Many people want to change but they don’t have a big enough reason to make the change so today we ask; “Is Your Reason Good Enough?”

Sometimes this “reason” is also referred to as your “Why” and it really determines your ability to make the change you desire. If you are seeking to change a situation then you have to have a big enough “reason” or “why” that is going to move you to do the things necessary for the change to occur. Too often we meet people that want to change this or that but when you really drill down, we discover that their reasons just aren’t big enough to make them commit to the task needed to see the change come about. This change can also be smothered in fear and doubt that squashes many personal dreams and goals. Your reason for change has to be the core motivation that is going to move you away from your comfort zone and toward your desired change.

The second level of this “reason” is your commitment to your why. Are you committed and determined to this “why” enough to actually do the things necessary to change? Sometimes we want change and we even know why but actually doing something about it is a whole different story. Your degree of commitment is going to determine the outcome of what you want to change and this commitment must be strong for some reasons and even stronger for others. If you are totally committed to making a change in your current situation then you will find a way to make it happen but if not, you will just find an excuse why it didn’t. The infamous Jim Rohn had a saying: “If you don’t like how things are then Change, You are not a tree!”

If you really want to change things in your life then you need to connect with your “Emotional Why”. We normally change things from an Emotional stance more often then an Intellectual stance because our emotions have more effect than just a thought. If you just think about a change, it can become just a passing thought but when you are emotional about making a change then you have a bigger reason to find an answer to the situation. This emotional why is what can move you and cause you to work out a plan that will increase your chances of success and change. We ask people “Why are you starting a home based business?” and we often here “I want to make more money”, and though that is a good reason that is not an emotional why. The bigger question would be “What do you want to do with this money that is going to make you want to get busy and build your business?” Is it pay off your mortgage? or buy a new car? or help send your kid to college? or what? See, this is an Emotional Why and not just a quick simplified reason.

We have to dig deep and define Exactly what the reasons are that we are going to succeed in our new business endeavor and change our current situation. Don’t throw out generalizations about why but find specific reasons and desired outcomes that will define, to a tee, exactly what this success or change looks like. Create a mental picture of Exactly what you want the outcome to be and build on the exact reasons you are willing to go the extra effort to get there. This emotional why is going to determine if you actually get there or not and if your “reason” or “why” isn’t strong enough then you will not find the will and determination to create the change. So we ask again, “Is Your Reason Good Enough?”

We have been working with children fighting cancer for almost 9 years now and really love this blessed work. The need is Great and there are many families that are fighting this horrible disease of childhood cancer. We started out just doing small fund raisers to help local kids and quickly connected with many others with the same needs. We then started a Hope Box Program where we sent boxes of presents to brave fighters all over the country that included whatever they wanted and needed to bring just a moment of happiness into their troubled lives. We always included the other siblings in the household so no one gets left out and really enjoy the smiles and joy that we get back when their parents send back pictures. This continued to build until we had to create a legal Non Profit Foundation 501 c3 because it was just getting to big to do as a hobby and we needed the funding to continue our mission. We now hold many big events for our fighters and families throughout the year and we enjoy getting together with all these families on a regular basis. We Love what we are blessed to do, but childhood cancer is a horrible world to witness and watch as families see their children experience treatments, hospital stays and even the loss of their baby and loved one. It really is heart wrenching but the joy of loving and giving to these families is what makes it all worth the effort.

This is our “Emotional Why” and the reason we are completely committed to being successful with our home business. In times of doubt and frustration we know that we have no choice but to get up and do it again because we have so many depending on us to help them in need. All the programs and events we do cost a lot of money and we are blessed to be able to do this work. Our success in business is what is going to connect us with like minded people and companies that are going to help us carry on this great work and bless these families with Hope and Love in anyway we can. We are 100% committed to our Emotional Why and know exactly what the reasons are for making sure we expand our value to this cause. It’s not just a want-to attitude, it’s a Must DO attitude that keeps us going and moving forward so we can help more brave fighters and their families in a time of great need.

So, “Is Your Reason Good Enough?” We don’t tell you about our “why” to gloat or brag about the work we do, we tell you this to help you connect with Your Emotional Why. If you are looking to change something or achieve a desired goal in life then you need to connect with the REAL Reason that you are going to make it happen. What is IT that is going to make you jump out of bed and get busy, what is it that is going to make you step out of your comfort zone and do something that your future self is going to thank you for? Change is easy to talk about and simple reasons are a dime a dozen but true Emotional Why’s are the core of creating change. We should all spend more time talking with the person in the mirror and digging deeper to understand the real reasons that we are going to “Go For It” instead of just talk about it. Take a little time to truly connect with your Emotional Why and you will start to see things in a different light and seek out answers instead of excuses.

Our Why is bigger than any one of us and constantly moves us to be more, do more and experience more in this Wonderful twist of events we call life. If you need some help discovering your true Emotional Why then Please reach out and let’s connect. Sometimes if we just ask better questions and dig deeper we find out what is really important in life and what really matters to us all. Our Foundation is called Battle For a Cure Foundation and we would love your support. We Stand with the Smallest Fighters in a Battle of a Lifetime and support the whole family in Great times of need. We funded our first clinical trial into brain cancer last year and we are getting ready to fund a new trial this year to help find a cure for this horrible disease. These trials are very expensive but without the trials into new medications and treatments they will never find a cure. These events and programs we do take funds to make them happen and we always need the help from volunteers and donations. You can find our webpage at Battle4aCure.org or connect with us via Facebook by clicking here. We try to keep everyone up to speed on what is going on and provide updates on many of our brave fighters. If you find it in your heart to help, it would be Greatly Appreciated.

How to Avoid Optional Failure

If You Fail, is it by Choice? We hear about this “high failure” rate in Network Marketing all the time but in reality, most people who “failed” did so by their own choosing. It seems that the term “failed” in Network Marketing is used very frequently to describe those that fell pray to the system. Maybe we should try and define the term “fail” when relative to Network Marketing. The dictionary says that Fail is: “to be unsuccessful in achieving one’s goal” or “neglect to do something”. This is a pretty good definition of “failing” because it is usually the “neglect to do something” that keeps people from Success in Network Marketing. This term is usually used when someone didn’t do the work, choosing again to watch TV instead of working their business.

So, is failure a choice? Yes and No, yes because to often the failure is a result of just not trying or not willing to do the things that need to be done to feed your business. No, because sometimes people never get the training on what to do and how to do it to have a Successful Networking career. We see people joining all the time with great intention because they just want something different in life than their soul sucking J.O.B.. But just because you are unhappy at work and want to quit everyday doesn’t always transfer into a true commitment to succeed in business. Sometimes the same people that didn’t want to do any work at their job are also Not willing to work at their Home Based Business. They join with great intention and big dreams only to realize that there is work involved to be successful so they just return to their comfort zone and go back to watching TV instead. We know, because we have been there too. The TV and one’s comfort zone are much easier than actually learning how to run a business from home.

Network Marketing has the ability to create Life Changing incomes and lifestyle, but there is a price. Not that it’s Rocket Science or anything but you do have to learn new skills and put together a game plan that will get your business up and running to build an organization that pays Big Money for your efforts. We personally know people in this industry that make a million dollars per year with their Network Marketing business. This is life changing income that practically anyone can achieve if they are just willing to Commit, Educate and ACT. The only way you could ever make this type of income outside of Network Marketing is either illegal or takes a massive college education and years to create, plus you would be hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. And after all that, all you did was create a high paying J.O.B. that most people don’t enjoy anyway.

If you want to get ahead and live a Dream Life then you have to be willing to learn new skills and most importantly ACT upon them. We call it the “Four Year Career” because you can find the right mentor, learn some new skills and create Massive Action that can launch Your Networking career in such a short time. Here is why most people “fail” at their Networking business. They treat their business like a game a social event or lottery instead of like a Serious Business. They just show up when it’s convenient, or they feel like it, instead of working their daily task that will get their business going. They only do what is easy or comfortable instead of doing all the things that Have to be done to see Success. Many use motivational approaches like “I hope” or “I’ll try” instead of “I Will” or “I AM” going to make my business a Success. Or, a real killer, they just want to “do it” their way instead of the way their mentor teaches that has proven results over and over. Again, too often this “failure” was self imposed.

To fail in Network Marketing is much easier than to Succeed because anyone can “choose” to do what is necessary or they can choose not to do it today or tomorrow or when ever the case. But the opposite is also true, Anyone can Succeed in Network Marketing if only they will choose to step out of their comfort zones and get busy on the task at hand. Don’t fall for shinny objects and promises of overnight riches because these are just games and schemes that will take your hard earned cash and leave you in a pool of regret and failure. The best way to succeed is to find the right mentor, someone you can relate to and who will lead you down a path to starting your business up and moving it forward toward Success. Commit to your goals, Educate Yourself on the process and Take Massive Action that moves your business forward.

Most people fail because they don’t have a big enough “Why”. The first thing you need to do is figure out “why” you are going to succeed and not accept excuses for failure. You need to really understand your why and define it down to the smallest details. What is it that is going to keep you going when things get difficult or your comfort zone cries out for your old self? If your “why” isn’t big enough then your old self will creep back in and take over telling you lies like, “it don’t work” or “I can’t do it”. Make a vision board or post pictures all around your work space that reflect this “reason” why you are going to be successful, no excuses accepted. Without a “Why”, and a really big one, you are destine to fail and miss out on that Dream Life you want so bad.

Here is our “Why”. We have been involved with children fighting cancer for the last 10 years. No we don’t have a child with cancer but God led us into this situation to help these brave fighters and their families fight this horrible disease. We formed a legal 501 c3 and became a non profit called Battle for a Cure Foundation. We work to help support these brave fighters in the battle of a lifetime through the dark journey of cancer. We deliver Hope Boxes, we support families with needs in the hospital, we hold several big events for these families throughout the year and we do Lots of great work to help these families out. We Love what we do and want to do more. We are a non profit and so we rely on donations from individuals and businesses to support our cause and it’s a constant struggle to keep funds available to do this great work. Our “Why” is to support Battle for a Cure and fund this great organization and all the great work we are blessed to do. You can learn more about Battle for a Cure by visiting our site here or check us out on Facebook here. This is a BIG WHY and it keeps us going and will not allow us to fail because we have so much at stake. What is Your Big Why? Maybe it’s a new house or a sports car, maybe it’s to support your family or church that needs help. But whatever it is Define It so you know why you are going to Succeed, no excuses accepted.

Failure really is an option. You can choose to work hard and do the things that have to be done to Succeed OR you can choose to let your old self win again and let your TV and comfort zone steal your Dreams, it’s Your Choice. Failure is never permanent or fatal so if you have failed before, learn from it and get back up to fight again. The only time you really fail is when you accept defeat and refuse to fight another day. Failure only wins if You let it.

We work daily to find people that truly want to make a difference in the world and learn the process that leads to a Dream Life of their making. We have all parts of the puzzle so that You don’t have to guess what works or what tools you need because we have already done all the work to put a plan together. Your Success of Failure really depends on You but we want to make that journey as easy and fun as possible. Connecting with the right kinds of people can enhance your chances of Success or chance of failure so choose wisely. We are only looking for those that are looking for us and we sure hope that is You.

We’re Playing the Long Game

Is life really just a game? Like the game of chess we make our moves and we strategize our plan hoping for a desired outcome or Win at the end. Some people have Great plans while others just go about life reacting to the moment with no real plan at all. We all have to make decisions about how we are going to play this game based on the outcome we desire. Sometimes people play the “short game” and are scattered about by instant convenience and the drama of the day, where others play “the Long Game” and plan their moves with great strategy. They have goals, daily task, a defined “why” they are in the game at all and they work diligently to execute their game plan. They are “Playing the Long Game”.

Network Marketing has these aspects as well and we see far too many people playing the short game of “get rich quick” or “instant fortunes” via money games and hyped up promises of wealth. When in reality, to Succeed in Network Marketing you must play the long game to win and achieve your dreams. We have many who join our business with great intentions and hopes but thirty days down the road they are ready to quit because they didn’t “make it” in Network Marketing. What a fallacy in the networking industry because it takes time and effort to actually build an organization and team that can pay you the residual income that Everyone desires.

The money games are everywhere and use hype and fluffed promises of over night riches and instant millionaires with fancy homes and exotic sports cars. But the majority of people we know that are succeeding with their home based business did their homework and made a plan to get from where they are now to where they wanted to be. We call this “Playing the Long Game“! We spent the last two years looking at different programs and companies, even joining a few, just to see what their mission is and how they related to their distributors. We were looking for a newer company that didn’t already have a large following but still had the solid foundation and core systems to position themselves for Massive Growth. We talked to owners and distributors alike to find out what they see in the industry and how they would work to maximize the potential for growth. We also wanted to know how they were going to accomplish this in the networking field and within their business platform. We wanted to know how they were going to be compliant with the FTC and have a true business model of customers, affiliates and distributors to maintain a long lasting platform for their business. These are all very serious questions and often over looked by the distributor in the field but very important to the Success of any business.

There is NO shortage of Network Marketing companies out there and you can find about 27 Million entries if you Google “best network marketing company” today. If someone is just looking for another program to join they can do this in about 1.5 seconds via a search, but that doesn’t tell the whole story. Again, are you playing the short game or the Long Game? Picking the wrong company based on a flashy website can be a major setback and cost you lots of money with little success. Or having a company fold on you because they were just playing money games or just a recruiting platform with no real customers. The FTC (Federal Trade Commission) is really scrutinizing networking companies and trying to weed out the bad ones that are really just ponzi schemes or money games. This makes it really important to research the company that you are going to put your time and effort into so you know you have a solid future ahead.

We live in an instant society where everyone has become accustom to right here, right now commerce and satisfaction. People are able to get just about anything they want at the push of a button these days and then think that they can join a business and see instant results. Sorry but it just doesn’t work quite that way in Network Marketing. I wrote a blog about this some time ago that compared Network Marketing to Working Out at the gym. You can not go on a diet for a month and expect to reach all your health goals just to return to your old self after this short time. And in Network Marketing you can’t join a business for a month and then declare it a failure because you didn’t make ten grand right out the box.

But, You Can Play the Long Game! You can find the right company with the right sponsor and coaches that can teach you the skills to help you make a plan that will get your new home based business started up and running toward Success. This is a process and takes a little time but the rewards are Greater than any J.O.B. you will ever have. We find that it is “Time Freedom” that most people really desire in life because most are tired of running the rat race and working their tail off to build someone else’ dream-life. If You Commit to the process and Educate Yourself on the skills and tools needed to succeed, then you can learn to take Massive Action to reach Your Own Dream Life. We call this “Playing the Long Game“!

We have done the homework and researched the companies to come up with the most Exciting opportunity in Network Marketing today. We have talked with the owners and people in the field to make sure they are executing a plan that is going to bring True Value to the market place and build a platform that will sustain a profitable business for the long term. We made sure they have considered everyone in the process from the basic customer to the team builder so that Everyone gets rewarded for their efforts. This company needs Unique and Consumable products that bring real value at realistic prices so people can afford them. We also wanted to make sure the purchases make sense and are not over priced just to support the commission structure. They also need to have the core systems that will be required to take this program to the masses on a massive scale and be able to produce when they have to. We wanted a company that will have Global implications to expand their market and be able to reach out to customers and distributors all over the world. We were looking for a company that was “Playing the Long Game” and not just playing money games.

It’s been a long search for such a solid company with great potential but we have planted our flag and found our home.

We are looking to build a Massive Organization with the Simple TEAM and Engage Micro Daily and yes, we would love to connect with you about this exciting new opportunity. You can also visit our personal website at DeanAndDena.com to learn more about who we are and what we are all about.

We Are Playing the Long Game with Simple Dream TEAM and we would Love to have You join our TEAM!

How to Attract Your Best Prospects

There is a battle going on in Network Marketing between “Old School” and the new “21st Century” style of marketing. Back in the day, before the internet, people would get into Network Marketing and we were all taught to make our list of friends and family and people we knew that we could pitch our opportunity to. This was brutal for most distributors because most people would run and hide just seeing you come their way. We practiced the “3 foot rule” meaning anyone within three feet was someone to pitch to, we went to malls and cruised for prospects and anyone that would listen was free game. It was a lot harder because we didn’t have email or social media or all the tools available to networkers today via the internet. But, it was truly a Networking business where you found interested partners, you built a relationship with them and helped develop them into committed business partners.

Then came the internet! Now you could access emails and have “instant” contact with many more people than ever before and as social media came around then prospects were plentiful. Now you could market to the world instead of just your own city where you lived. What a Great tool this was going to be in finding new business associates and customers for your product and opportunity. It truly was the Holy Grail of marketing, the future had arrived for Network Marketing! Problem is that the internet is just a tool like any another tool in your networking tool box and way to often people forget that “Network” aspect of Network Marketing and forget that they actually need to talk to someone to build that relationship and friendship that will keep them in your network over time.

The internet became a crutch to many that just wanted to market to the masses and some even boast of their “I never talk to anyone” approach. This type of marketing does get results but has led to the highest attrition rates we have ever seen in this industry. People use “hype” to lure in many new prospects and sign up dozens if not hundreds of new associates only to watch them drop like flies in the first 30 days because no one has any skin in the game. They focus on recruiting and signing people up, making their downline look good, but never train or spend time with those that are in their organization so people just quit in no time. They make fast start bonuses and front end money but they are never able to keep their teams together so they have to go find more, and more, and more, and so on, never realizing that they have created a vicious cycle of downline failure.

Network Marketing is a business that has the potential to lift people to great heights, when executed properly, and the internet can be a very good tool for building your team. But Network Marketing is a relationship business and should not just be a recruiting business. The internet offers some of the best tools for connecting and supporting your team and bringing Value to your organization via blogs, training, webinars and social support. Use the internet as a tool to “build” your business and increase your network so that your business partners become successful with your team and opportunity. Via the internet you can quickly connect with like minded people that want to hear what you are offering because people are looking to increase their standard of living and wealth. But “Everyone is Not a Prospect”.

We use systems to educate and school people on what Network Marketing is and how it works. We want people to know what we do and why, take their own time to investigate our opportunity and offering and then contact us for more info. We don’t just throw our business in someones face yelling “Join Me Now or you will miss out”. If people do not understand Network Marketing and don’t really get to know how it works and why then they will just drop out in a month because they don’t “get it”. We use tools and websites that explain the process and schools people on what we do and how it works so that they can decide for themselves if this business is right for them or not. We never try and convince someone to “join today” before the “special” ends tonight because this just gives all of us a bad rap and makes us look like a bunch of con-men doing a crazy deal. Take the time to educate people about your business and your opportunity and “why” it might be a great fit for them. Let them learn what it is you do and bring value to the process by offering training and support to show them that They can be Successful too. This is often called “Attraction Marketing” because you attract the right kind of prospects that are really looking for a better way.

Attraction Marketing is the absolute best way to find prospects and future partners for your Networking business. Take the time to set yourself apart from all the spam type marketers and really bring value that will attract others to you instead of dragging them into the process. Just like any other business out there, not Everyone is going to succeed with Network Marketing and that’s OK. But everyone that wants to take the time to Educate themselves about what we do and how we do it, and are Committed to learning the process, can Succeed if they Truly want it bad enough. It all comes back to “Commit, Educate and ACT!”, it really is that simple. Commit to finding your level of Success and discover your true reason that You are going to make it happen. Educate yourself on how the business works and what tools and training you need to be Successful with your new business. But most of all, Take Massive Action to create a Network of Success by building up people and supporting your TEAM. We work really hard at making sure we have put together the tools and training you need to succeed in Network Marketing. We have done the due diligence on what opportunity is poised for massive growth and has the structure and foundation to be the next Billion dollar company. We have put together the tools you need to market your new business and make the connections to build your team fast. And most importantly we are here to Help You Succeed by offering all the support and training you need to build long lasting, life changing incomes through Network Marketing with our favorite program and Simple Dream Team.

The Entrepreneur Inside You?

While listening to a webinar the other night with some multi-million dollar earners in Network Marketing there was a conversation about being an Entrepreneur. The discussion was one that really made me stop and ponder the whole meaning of being a Real Entrepreneur or just being a disgruntled employee, there is a big difference. I was setting there listening to Network Super Star Mark Hooverson discuss how he knew, when he was even a little kid, that he had the Entrepreneur spirit and how even in his youth he always knew he could do more, be more and have more if he just did his own gig instead of working for someone else. I could relate because I had been making money on my own since I was about 12 years old when dear ole Dad loaded me up and took me to the store to buy a lawn mower. He wheeled it outside and said “Here, the first $35 you make pays me back, after that Your in business!” and I was off to start my enterprise.

Entrepreneurial spirit is a mindset. It’s an attitude and approach to thinking that actively seeks out change, rather than waiting to adapt to change. It’s a mindset that embraces critical questioning, innovation, service and continuous improvement. This spirit comes from the inside and burns like a passion to make things happen that will increase our value and worth. Entrepreneurship can be defined as “…the capacity and willingness to develop, organize, and manage a business venture along with any of its risks in order to make a profit.” This burning desire to do your own thing is not for everyone but can be had by anyone that is willing to “do the deal” or work harder to be better everyday. This comes from “Commitment, Education and Action”. Anyone can learn to run their own business but not everyone will make the effort. It takes a special kind of willingness to push yourself, and get it done on your own, that some people just don’t have. Too often people are only motivated when the are pushed by outside forces instead of pushing themselves and this usually comes in the form of a boss. As long as someone is telling them when to work, how much to work and what they have to do, then they can perform a service, but to push their own efforts and do things without the outside influence then they just don’t get it done, they would rather watch another season of TV then actually do something that might increase their standard of living.

The Real Entrepreneur seeks out the knowledge to develop and organize a business plan that they can execute to build something that is greater than what they had yesterday. They are willing to take risk and step out of the comfort zone to do the things that most just won’t do. Just because you hate your job or you hate your boss and wish you could work for yourself doesn’t always transfer into a Successful home based business. We hear it all the time, “man I just want to quit my job and work from home” and that is a novel idea alright but the key word here is “work”. You Can work from home and you Can make way more money working from home then you do at your soul sucking J.O.B. (Just Over Broke). But the challenge becomes, what are you willing to do to make that happen? Are you truly interested in learning new life skills and organizing a game plan that will kick start your new business, OR do you just wish you could sit around the house all day and play around on Facebook?

Anyone can be an Entrepreneur! But let’s go back to the definition of being a True Entrepreneur “…the capacity and willingness to develop, organize, and manage a business venture along with any of its risks in order to make a profit.” This is why so many people fail in Network Marketing, they get involved for all the right reasons but life is busy, people work long hours at their job, kids got activities and more often then not these people don’t take the time to learn the skills needed and actually do a business. You Must Commit, Educate and Act, it really is that simple. It starts with You and learning how to change your mindset from an employee to Entrepreneur. Your Success really comes down to Your “Why”, the real reason you started with Network Marketing to begin with. If it was just out of curiosity and you aren’t really committed to your “Why” then your chance of creating Success drastically goes down. But if your “Why” is bigger than your excuses then you will have the necessary drive to learn the skills and do the deal of moving your home based business forward.

Most people have a reason that they got started with Network Marketing. It usually is more about “time freedom” than just money. We all want the freedom to spend time with our family and children and stop working so many hours of our life. We usually put ourselves in these situations by thinking we need the new car or bigger house and can’t keep our credit card in our wallet and the next thing you know we need to bring in more and more money just to survive. That’s usually when someone sees an ad about work from home, make extra money and they jump on the train hoping to escape the rat race of life. And sometimes necessity is a Great motivator but it can be a double edge sword as well. Too often people have gotten themselves in such a financial bind that they can’t seem to find any available funds to work their new business and so they just quit again and return to what they know best, the ole J.O.B., the comfort zone, another season of Dancing with the Stars or what ever sneaks in and steals their Dreams.

The True Entrepreneur is filled with a passion and a spirit that burns inside and moves them to learn more, do more and certainly Be More! They cannot be content with being a good employee and just getting by in life. The Entrepreneur seeks out the knowledge and life skills that will help them to put together a plan and execute their plan for Massive Success. They set their goals and monitor their progress always looking for a way to increase the value they bring that increases the rewards they reap, it’s a Beautiful thing. Some are born with this burning desire and some just have to learn this skill from where they are in life. It really doesn’t matter what has happened in the past because you can’t change any of that if you wanted to, but it does matter what you do Today that will change where you are going tomorrow. If you have the natural Entrepreneurial Spirit then embrace it and get started on a plan that will create your Dream Life. If you need to learn this skill then by all means, find the education, the support group and surround your self with people that are of the same mindset and change. Jim Rohn says, “If You don’t like where you are in life, Change It, you’re not a tree!”. That’s some Good advice.

Is there an Entrepreneur inside you just waiting to be set Free? We sure hope so! We Love Network Marketing because it gives the average person an opportunity to be Great and do things that others only wish they could do. Will everyone succeed at this Great opportunity?

True Leverage Makes You Money

You can trade time for dollars or you can learn to leverage the efforts of others to make more income. This is the concept of True Leverage. True Leverage means an increased means by which to attain a desired result. The everyday business man leverages his employees by benefiting from the work they do on a normal work day and leveraging their time and effort to increase his business value. The problem is that the working person that trades his time/hours for dollars can not continue to increase his time spent to leverage more money because there are only so many hours in a day that he or she can work. So how can You use True Leverage to create increased Your income?

Stop trading hours for dollars and start leveraging your value in the market place. We do this with the business model called Network Marketing. With the Network Marketing business model you can use your influence, and network of people all around you, to refer a product and opportunity for anyone to improve their Health, Wealth and Happiness. This business model usually has a low upfront cost and allows anyone, willing to put forth the effort, to accomplish a higher degree of Success in a Home Based Business. In Network Marketing we get paid to refer and move a unique product within our circle of influence thus creating commissions that increase with the number of people in our personal network of business partners we have shared with. We don’t get paid to recruit people, we get paid when we bring people into the opportunity and they purchase the product and refer the products to their network of people that we normally would not have access to. This is True Leverage!

With True Leverage Everyone has the same opportunity to make more money based on the efforts they put forth to increase their network. In the typical business model the CEO makes the most money, the President makes less and answers to the CEO, the Vice President even less and all the way down management to the “employee” that does most of the work and makes the least. This is how most structures in business work and creates less leverage for the average person to make more income without climbing the company ladder. With Network Marketing Everyone has the opportunity to make more than even those above him if he is putting in more effort and moving more product. This network of personal business partners increases product volume and increases dollars made without having to hold a specific level at the top. You can increase your personal business structure by connecting other friends and associates to a unique product or products and it increases the volume of business in your personal organization that pays you on the amount of product or products sold. This is True Leverage!

We get asked all the time, “Well ain’t that one of those pyramid schemes?” And it always makes me chuckle because this same person will be working for a boss that has his company set up on that old “pyramid” structure. This question really comes from a lack of understanding about Network Marketing. Yes, you do get paid from the efforts of others below you because you and your organization are moving more product and creating more commissions for everyone. But even those at the bottom have the same opportunity to make the big checks if they are just willing to bring more people to the table and move more product than those at the top. This whole “pyramid” analogy usually comes from a true ponzi scheme type model where money is obtained in fraudulent investment operation where the operator, an individual or organization, pays returns to its investors from new capital paid to the operators by new investors, rather than from profit earned through legitimate sources. Where Network Marketing just rewards organizations or individuals for referring and moving a product thus paying a commission to a group of people that are leveraging the efforts of others. This is True Leverage.

When looking at Network Marketing opportunities you need to look for 5 Main Principals of the Business. They include:
* A Huge Expanding Market where LOTS of people are drawn.
* A Unique and Consumable Product that people buy over and over again.
* Perfect Timing to take advantage of a coming Trend.
* The Leverage to be able to benefit from the efforts of others.
* And One Super Lucrative Comp Plan

These are the five basic principals you are going to need to succeed in a Network Marketing opportunity. One of the biggest markets that has been setting many trends since the 1950’s and forward is the Baby Boomers group. This group was born between 1946 and 1964 and includes an estimated 76 Million people just in the U.S. and as many as 1 Billion people world wide. This group consist of one third of the population but controls 65% of the money in the market place. The Baby Boomers have been setting massive trends in the market place for many years and will continue to do so over the years to come. Some of the marketing trends coming from this group are Health and looking Younger, Retirement opportunities such as Network Marketing, Technology and efficiency’s and many more. If you can position your business in front of one of these, or all of these, then you are likely to take advantage of a major business trend and leverage this expanding market. These Baby Boomers are Not liking what age is doing to them and they want to be more Healthy, Wealthy and Happy in their aging years. If you want to be Brilliantly Compensated You must focus on industries and companies that have positioned themselves in front of the massive trends.

And that is Exactly what we are doing here with our Network Marketing efforts and leveraging these trends and Blugenics product to make ever increasing income via this Huge Expanding market, Unique and Exclusive Consumable products, Perfect Timing to get in front of the Trends and Leveraging our way to the top of the Networking Market place. That’s TRUE LEVERAGE!

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!
