Grow Bigger Than Your Problems!
One of the secrets to wealth is to THINK BIG! The fact is that very few people “think” big and even fewer “play” big. So why don't people want to “play big”? Usually, it’s because they believe they can't handle “big” or they don't want to handle it. Why? Because “big” often equals big responsibilities, big hassles and big problems.
One of the biggest differences between rich people and poor people is that highly successful people are bigger than their problems while unsuccessful people are smaller than their problems.
Unsuccessful people are constantly trying to avoid problems. They back away from challenges. The irony is that in their quest to make sure they don't have problems, they have the biggest problem of all... they're broke or close to it. The secret to success is not to try and shrink your problems; it's to grow yourself so you're bigger than any problem.
Imagine a “level 2” person is looking at a “level 5” problem. Does this problem appear to be big or small? The answer is that from a “level 2” perspective, a “level 5” problem would seem BIG.
Now imagine a “level 8” person looking at this same “level 5” problem.From this person’s perspective, is this problem big or small? Magically, the identical problem is now a SMALL problem.
And for a “level 10” person, it’s NO problem at all. It’s just an everyday occurrence, like brushing your teeth.
It’s important to realize that whether you are rich or poor, playing big or playing small, problems do not go away.
If you're breathing, you will always have situations that aren’t perfect.
Therefore, the size of the problem is never the problem. It’s always the size of you!
The secret then is to grow yourself as a person, to be bigger than your problems so that they become insignificant and appear to disappear. Not because the problems are not there, but because you handle them so easily.
The bigger problems you can handle; the bigger business you can handle, the bigger responsibilities you can handle, the more customers you can handle and the more money and wealth you can handle.
Remember, your income can only grow to the extent that you do!
A universal principle states that “at all points in time you are either growing or dying”. That’s why it is essential to keep learning and continue to work on yourself.
This month commit to growing yourself.
This month, do not shrink from problems, do not avoid problems and do not complain about problems. Practice not letting problems bother you. In fact, don’t even call them problems; refer to them as “challenges” or “situations”.
This month, practice handling problems with elegance and ease. The way to do this is to let go of your attachments, as well as the emotion and drama you create when you don’t get what you want. Just stay present and handle one situation at a time with an open mind and an open heart. Trust yourself and trust the universe that everything will work out in the end.
The bottom line is that if you become a master at handling problems, what can stop you from happiness and wealth? The answer is NOTHING!
Daily Declaration:
I am bigger than any problems.
I can handle any problems.
Nothing will stop me from getting rich.
I have a millionaire mind

Why are people afraid of getting involved with Network Marketing?
Why are people afraid of getting involved with Network Marketing?
Is It Fear of Failure or Fear of Success?
What's holding Individuals back?
I talked to an individual I knew well who had an interest in working from home, yet I couldn’t help sense this person had fears and something was holding her back. She had wanted to venture out into this type of business for years. She described her goals she wanted to make however; she had taken limited action to make those goals a reality and to be successful in her life. (This even sounds like many individuals who are in the business and do not take the action they need to take to be successful).
On the surface, it sounded like the changes she wanted to make were for financial gains for herself. Talking further with her, she realized she was really speaking of a level of service (how she wanted to help people improve their quality of life) and have personal fulfillment (actualizing her values, purpose and vision) that would come from aligning who she is and what she wanted to be in a BIGGER way.
We discussed the things she told herself that allowed her to remain stationary. Her initial objection was, “If I put myself out and take some risks, what if I fail?” (What if this or that happens???) I replied to her, “With all my years of experience you are thinking about what you want… without committing to action, you have already brilliantly SUCCEEDED in FAILING! Congratulations!” Her eyes widened, and she burst out laughing. By doing nothing, she insured her success at failing!
Going forward in our talk together, we focused on her attitudes about success/failure AND identified her values, needs, purpose and vision. Increased self-awareness enabled her to make choices and design strategic actions to create greater life satisfaction and self-fulfillment.
If you are considering a change you've been thinking/talking about for a while but haven’t made much progress….
To learn more about what may be holding you back from moving forward, ask yourself:
What is your definition of success in your life? What does success mean to you? Be specific.
Identify specific successes you have made so far. What made them successes for you? What value did you receive from succeeding?
What fears, concerns or assumptions do you have associated with success?
How would your life change if you were/felt more successful? (At anything!)
What would you have to give up? What would you gain?
Who would you become? (Happier, self-confident, authentic, stronger?)
In exploring your attitudes about failure, consider the following:
What is your definition of failure? What does failure mean to you?
If you fail at something, does that define YOU as a failure?
What specific failures have you experienced? What value have you received from failing? Be specific.
What fears, concerns or assumptions do you associate with failure? Are they true?
Can there be success in failure? If yes, how? If no, think it out and find out what they are.
Ask yourself---If you could not fail what would you be doing? Who would you be?
Fears of success/failure are two sides of the same experience. By definition, success and failure are perceived from multiple viewpoints. Both results offer opportunities for self-discovery and change. Developing the clarity to know who you are on the inside is a key ingredient to achieve rich outcomes with ease, strength and focus! To live fully, you must fully participate—succeeding and failing for the joy of the experience.
Be adventurous this New Year or End this year with a BIG bang and overcome your fear of either failure or success! Remember you do not have to go through this alone for everyone in this business has experienced what you are going through now and you will have a lot of support getting through this.

The Key to being successful in this Business!
The Key to being successful in this Business!
Become a Self-Reliant Person
What is a Self-Reliant person? A Self Reliant person is when you are reliant upon yourself; trusting your own powers or judgment on anything in your life. When you become self-reliant you become and develop a self-confident personality. Many people think that a person who is self-reliant must be aloof, disinterested or unfriendly towards others. This is a totally false conception. Think about it if you were that way how successful would your business be? By not being dependent, the self-reliant person can relate to others with a compassion and empathy while, at the same time, retaining self-confidence and poise. Able to stand on his own two feet, he does not feel the need to manipulate others.
The main deterrent to self-reliance is the mistake certainty that others are smarter, wiser or more intelligent than we are. And so, we look to them for our happiness and welfare. The person who is dependant in this sense must always reach out to something external. He wants people circumstances, and conditions to do for him what he should be doing for himself. This causes him to depend, manipulate, conform, compare and to compete.
Self-reliance is not only the belief that you can handle things and become successful, it is something more than that. It is having the courage to listen to inner promptings for a hint of the kind of success you should want. It means taking your cue from what you are--not listening to something outside yourself—to get an idea of what you should become. (hear that---quit listening to what others say and listen to your heart). When we learn to read the “signs” correctly and follow the kind of life that the urgings of our talents and temperaments tell us to pursue, we are happy and successful. We are ourselves and we are strong.
Follow this advice for this is my words of wisdom to you. Believe me it has worked for me and it can work for you! Start now and Become a Self-Reliant Person!

Network Marketing Helpful Tips
Network Marketing Helpful Tips
Network Marketing is a stable and profitable business investment that is open for everyone. And to help you start right, here are some helpful tips that will guide you in your first new steps in Network Marketing.
Network Marketing has been a buzz word in every household in America. And true enough, those that put their trust in the program are now reaping good rewards from their hard work.
If you also want to be a successful member of Network Marketing, here are some helpful tips for you.
1. Begin with research.
You have to do some research about the company name, years in the business and who are the founding members are and current directors of the company.
It is better to start with a company that has a good name to bank on. The research should also include if there are some complaints and the outcome of the complaints. In business, complaints are sometimes inevitable but you have to study them carefully if they're baseless or based on facts. Many times an individual may have failed in that particular business, it was no fault of the company they were affiliated with but that of the individual. With their bitterness in failing they make attacking remarks online or with people they know about that company they failed with.
2. Evaluate the marketability of the products.
Marketability of the products is important.
You can try it for yourself at first, and then try the opinion of friends or family about their opinions regarding the products that you intend to market. If you get good and positive remarks, then that is a good signal for you to start.
If you do not get their approval much more if you are not convinced with the marketability, then do not plunge in to that program. You have to market the products that you have one hundred percent trust. A good tip though is to stick with the company six months to a good year because many times it takes a while to get familiar with some products. With any business you have many things to learn, especially if you have never gone into business for yourself before.
3. Talk to other network marketers.
The difference in holding a business and in Network Marketing is the competition that is being handled.
In a usual business, you are not interested to see other sellers because you are thinking that he or she might be a competitor but in Network Marketing, talking to other network marketers from the same company is not a competition.
You can ask other associates in your company about certain tips, guidelines or the flow of business in certain place or groups of people.The tips and guidelines will help you develop your own set of marketing techniques that you deem applicable to the products.
4. Learn to advertise.
Advertising is the key in Network Marketing.
Increasing the awareness of the people that you are selling the products to is very important and the best way to let the whole world know is through advertising.
Advertising comes in different forms, it can be through direct marketing, radio, magazine adds or though the Internet. Keep in mind direct marketing has been around for many years and in this business you are selling yourself first before they even get to know the product and the business. Direct Communication is the most affective.
You can choose which one is appropriate for the product. If you are marketing a household product, you can try advertising them in a magazine for moms or women’s magazine.
In the end, Network Marketing is a business investment that is open for everyone. Like any business opportunity, you just have to study which program fits you. Moreover, take consideration to the marketability, the support of fellow marketers and your capacity to advertise.

Positive lessons from Network Marketing
Positive lessons from Network Marketing
The most positive lesson I had in network marketing was realizing that the passage to success is often times the hardest aspect of business. The passage is what the enemy to success will tempt you with the most.
The most positive lesson I had in network marketing was realizing that the passage to success is often times the hardest aspect of business. The passage is what the enemy to success will tempt you with the most.
Your enemy on the journey to success really isn't after making you a failure, the enemy simply wants you to quit. Hence the reason there is more quitters than failures in the game of success. The passage can be the hardest process of all.
When you enter into the camp of success you have a very real enemy. If you haven't met the enemy you just haven't gotten close enough yet. You see the enemy is a confirmation for you. The enemy is not a road sign to show you've gone the wrong way, quite the contrary. The enemy is a confirmation that you are heading in the right direction. Let me warn you however the enemy’s tactics are slick and at times they can be fierce, hence the reason why more than 85% of people on the road to success quit. Most don't fail, they quit, plain and simple. And that my friend is the goal of your enemy. The enemy’s goal is to make you withdrawal, retreat and go backwards and ultimately quit.
The enemy isn't in the business of kicking people out of success. And failure really isn't the thing we most fear- the truth is we often times fear success so much and the passage to get there can hold things we have hid from, refused to deal with and simply won't go thru our entire lives. So truly, in success, there are far more quitters than there are failures.
Success in business, success in sports, success in your marriage, success as a parent, it doesn't matter how you apply this, it's the same truth across the board. There are three tactics to be on guard for, and when you learn to recognize these maneuvers of your enemy, you'll be prepared to act offensively and conquer.
Misinformation- this is a tricky and long time trick of the enemy of success. Frankly it's probably the single biggest cause of failing in Network Marketing. Misinformation, lack of information, confusion- they all hang out together. Your enemy wants you misinformed so he can create confusion.
Confusion- a cousin of the first strategy and one that has hit our world at epidemic proportions. Confusion is the root to depression, suicide and fear at it's core. Confusion distorts and misinforms- look again at point one. If you are confused you most likely won't act and if you aren't going forward in action you aren't likely getting anywhere which leads to the result your enemy strives for, you quitting.
Lack of information- your enemy wants you to lack the information you need to take action so that you can achieve your goals. I intend to lead you to the information you need so read on…
So what can you do win? Stay on top of the game. Realize the passage might be the hardest part of your success journey. To go from over thousands in debt to being 100% totally debt free there was a passage, a bridge I had to cross and one of the most valuable ingredients to that crossing was to continually do the things I knew would make me money. I didn't spend a bunch of time researching, planning, strategizing repeatedly- I made a commitment that for 3 hours per day, just 3 hours, I would do the things that make me money. So here I am, living the life of my dreams!
