Developing an Attitude of Gratitude!

Hmm, I wonder.

I’ve been reading quite a bit about “developing an attitude of gratitude” lately.

Taking things for granted is never a good thing.

Have you ever noticed that when you loose something you suddenly (and sometimes painfully) notice its value to you?

I try hard not to take anything for granted, but this morning when I sat down on my computer I noticed that I had taken for granted the very things that are KEY to my business success.

Here are just a few things I had totally taken for granted …

The following 30 Words of Wisdom don’t just apply to life itself, but can also be used in building your network marketing business. Or any business for that matter.

Are you barking up the wrong tree in your MLM prospecting?

If you are still fairly new to network marketing the following scenarios may sound painfully familiar to you. But don’t feel too bad. Most of us network marketers have experienced them or something similar. As time goes on and you get better, none of this will be an issue anymore. So, here’s my question …

Has any of this ever happened to you?

1)   You just drove over an hour to meet with a prospect. When you got there they were a no-show.

2)   You gave what in your opinion was the best network marketing presentation of your life and your prospect tells you they are not interested.

3)   You got over your fear of picking up the phone, called your prospect, gave an excellent presentation for your network marketing business and as soon as you were finished they started pitching THEIR business to you.

Knowing Your Network Marketing Numbers Can Save You A Lot of Frustration

Many new networkers get frustrated because they don’t know their numbers. But knowing them has a lot to do with their success in network marketing.

If you are just starting out in the network marketing industry (or in your new home business) you must know your numbers.

Realize that your numbers will be lower than someone else’s who has been working in the industry for a while.

Don’t compare yourself to your sponsor,

Just Do It!!

When I was 17 years old I was shipped off to a health resort in Germany for a Kneipp Cure, a hydropathic treatment combined with diet and rest etc. The main purpose, besides getting my circulation going and raising my blood pressure, was to fatten me up a bit as I was skinny as a rail.

While the thought of not having to go to work for 6 weeks was rather pleasing to me, the thought of the treatment wasn’t so much. What teenager likes to get up before 7 o’clock in the morning to get shot with a water hose of hot and cold water? The first blast I ever received knocked me clear

Just imagine how different your life – or your network marketing business – would be 5 years from now if you made a few simple changes today and stuck to it. If instead of watching another episode of CSI you would pick up a personal development book and read just 10 pages every single day. If instead of reading novels and living someone else’s dream, you picked up Napoleon Hill’s “Think & Grow Rich” and build your own dream.

Do you think this would change your life? I betcha!! They say it takes 21 days to break or make a habit. I dare you to try it out.

Reading 10 pages a day doesn’t take a lot of time. Maybe 10-15 minutes? But just think within a year you will have read 3650 pages. Let’s assume the average

If you have been following my blog for a while you may have noticed that I like to tell stories to illustrate a point. Well, here’s another one …

Which Way Is Success?

A man meets a successful person on the road and asks him, “which way is success?”

The successful person speaks no words, he just points to a place off in the distance.

The man, thrilled by the prospect of quick and easy success, rushes off in the direction he was sent to. Suddenly, there comes a loud “SPLAT.” After a while, the man comes limping back, tattered and stunned, assuming he must have misunderstood the message. 

The other day I read, on one of the many blogs I read on a daily basis, that attitude is not everything.

I was shocked, because to me, it absolutely IS everything. Having the right attitude is a key ingredient not only for building a successful network marketing business, but for anything else in life as well.

But may it be as it may be, even if it isn’t everything it is still 100%.

And I will prove it to you.

What makes up 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%. We always hear people say that they give more than a 100%. Heck, I’ve even said that myself on occasion. But, I will be a lot more careful about that in the future.

And here is why…

Have you ever wondered how you can show a certain group of your Facebook friends?

Well, I just found out and would like to share it with you.

For whatever reason, there may be a certain group of friends you would like to show to everyone who comes to visit your Facebook profile.  They may be highly respected business people, co-workers, close personal friends, or maybe family members.

Usually Facebook just rotates through all of your friends randomly. But you can select certain people or lists of friends to be rotated through instead.

Here’ s how you do that…
