A Little Corner of Greatness

 

The opportunity is yours to improve YOU! it is worth the trouble, I know!!

There's one little corner of your life where you can make an
improvement today. Take the opportunity to do so.
There's one little corner of the world where you can make a
difference right now. Go ahead and be the person to make
that difference.
One little corner may not seem like much. One little corner
may not appear to be worth the trouble.
Yet when you get things working well in that one little
corner, something wonderful happens. You discover how
delightful, inspiring, fulfilling and compelling the
experience of achievement can be.
And then you start looking for other little corners where
you can work the same magic. One little corner after
another, you begin to have a major positive impact.
To achieve great things requires no great effort, just a
modest effort repeated again and again. Start right now by
improving one little corner, and you're on your way to
change the world.

The Third Skill How to Identify SCAMS

 

The Third & Final Skill

 

Third Skill: How to Identify SCAMS
An Attorney General would ask these two questions:

1 - Would a logical thinking person pay this much money for the product or service if there was not a business opportunity involved?

2 - Does the income stop when the recruiting stops?

If the answer to the first question is "No" and/or the answer to the second question is "Yes",
then it is a SCAM.

Don't become BUBBA BAIT!

To avoid sharing a cell with Bubba, avoid:

Cash Gifting Programs.
(It's NOT a Gift if You Solicit It,
Unless You're a Registered Charity,
and You Report Donations.)

Any Program where You Receive Hundreds or Thousands of Dollars
when Someone Joins, and Your Recruits Receive Nothing of
Intrinsic Value They Can Hold in Their Hands.
(Information is NOT a Product!)

Any Program Paying You Commissions on a
Monthly Website Fee.

(Commissions on Tools are Illegal.)

Networking in a Nutshell

• You are perfect the way You are! You just need to be coachable.
• People are not duplicable - systems are. Your Mentor MUST have a Teachable system.
• To be successful in network marketing, You must "partner-up" with a 5 Pillars company.
• Networking is a simple business; NOT necessarily an easy business.
• If You apply yourself in a Teachable system, You can be Successful.

Building Recurring Income from home is a Relationship business;
NOT a Sales business -- NOT a Recruiting business.

The Truth is the Truth is the Truth
And the Truth will make you Free to Succeed.

Thought of the Day

 

I have great faith & belief in helping others, it helps one moves forward in the right direction
Fact 1
As each goose flaps its wings it creates an "uplift" for the birds that follow. By flying in a "V" formation, the whole flock adds 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew alone.
Lesson 1:
People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier because they are travelling on the thrust of one another. 
 Fact 2:
When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of flying alone. It quickly moves back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front of it.
Lesson 2: 
If we have as much common sense as a goose, we stay in formation with those headed where we want to go. We are willing to accept their help and give our help to others. 
Fact 3:
When the lead goose tires, it rotates back into the formation and another goose flies to the point position.
Lesson 3:
It pays to take turns doing the hard tasks and sharing leadership. As with geese, people are interdependent on each others' skills, capabilities, and unique arrangements of gifts, talents, or resources. 
Fact 4:
Geese flying in formation honk to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.
Lesson 4:
We need to make sure our honking is encouraging. In groups where there is encouragement, the production is much greater. The power of encouragement (to stand by one's heart or core values and encourage the heart and core of others) is the quality of honking we seek. 
Fact 5:
When a goose gets sick, wounded, or shot down, two geese drop out of formation and follow it down to help protect it.  They stay with it until it dies or is able to fly again. Then, they launch out with another formation or catch up with the flock.
Lesson 5:
If we have as much sense as geese, we will stand by each other in difficult times as well as when we are strong
You don't need wings to perform just the desire, ability and direction!

Gray Lawrence


The Personal Poem

We all need someone & something, look within yourself are you that person?

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To reach out to another is to risk involvement
To expose your feelings is to risk rejection
To place your dreams before a crowd is to risk ridicule
To love is to risk not being loved in return
To go forward is to face the overwhelming odds is to risk failure
Risks must be taken because the greatest risk of all is to risk nothing
The person who risks nothing does nothing has nothing and is nothing
He may avoid suffering and Sorrow but he cannot learn and cannot feel, cannot change, cannot grow and cannot laugh
Chained by his virtues he is a slave
A person who risks is truly FREE

THE DIFFERENCE

Stop & Think Why
I GOT UP EARLY ONE MORNING
AND RUSHED RIGHT INTO THE DAY:
I HAD SO MUCH TO ACCOMPLISH
THAT I DIDN’T HAVE TIME TO PRAY.
PROBLEMS JUST TUMBLED ABOUT ME,
AND HEAVIER CAME EACH TASK.
WHY DOESN’T GOD HELP ME! I WONDERED.
HE ANSWERED “YOU DIDN’T ASK.”
I WANTED TO SEE JOY AND BEAUTY,
BUT THE DAY TOILED ON GREY AND BLEAK,
I WONDERED WHY GOD DIDN’T SHOW ME,
HE SAID “BUT YOU DIDN’T SEEK.”
I TRIED TO COME INTO GODS PRESENCE;
I USED ALL MY KEYS AT THE LOCK.
GOD GENTLY AND LOVINGLY CHIDED,
“MY CHILD, YOU DIDN’T KNOCK.”
I WOKE UP EARLY THIS MORNING,
AND PAUSED BEFORE ENTERING THE DAY,
I HAD SO MUCH TO ACCOMPLISH
THAT I HAD TO TAKE TIME TO PRAY.

Second Skill: The 5 Pillars Training Pillar FIVE

 
Pillar FIVE
This is the last pillar but we have one more thing to follow on the next blog
Pillar 5: Does your Mentor offer a System for Success that will work for You?
• The team you join must have a system in place that will work for everyone who uses it.
• There must be complete resources available; books, videos and audios explaining the system.
• The system should be designed to Teach The System!
Remember, you want to build your business, Not baby-sit it.
• You must take full responsibility for learning the Skill Set. Your mentor can't do that for you.
An 'open' system will allow you to go upline for clarification and advice.
• If you don't see the system working for you right away, don't try to reinvent the wheel.
As in everything we do in life there is a learning curve. Plug in and be patient.
• Personal development should have a big emphasis in the system. This is a relationship business,
the more you know about yourself, the better you'll relate to your clients and customers.

• DO NOT MAKE A LIST OF YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
• DO NOT BUY LEADS.
• Purchased leads require salesmanship.
These methods do not work anymore.
90% of our population are NOT good salespeople.
Not only that, most people don't even like salespeople.



Before choosing a System, get a YES answer to: "Can I do this?" and "Will my Mentor help me?"


Your Mentor's System Should:

(Ask for a list of those for whom it has worked 3 levels deep)
• Be a proven System that teaches a full Skill Set, including:
• Client interface,
• Advertising/Internet know how,
• Behavioural knowledge,
• Mentoring methods,
• Industry History.
• Have Free Skills Training,
• Have an affordable, easy to navigate Back Office, that includes:
• A complete lead management system,
• eMail and ad copy templates,
• Capture pages combined with an auto-responder,
• Integrated ad tracking and performance comparisons,
• A Help section that makes the Back Office tools easy to understand.
Keep you Free to build your business.
Stay away from those administrative tasks like building web sites.
• Allow you to do your own Targeted advertising. Brand Yourself!

The Day We Die

This is not morbid but the truth, think of what you are and not doing right now before it is too late.  God Bless

The day we die is a misery for those we leave behind
The day we die is a test that we have done right for those we leave behind
The day we die brings sorrow and anger
The day we die brings “why”
The day we die is a test to those we leave and strength must prevail
The day we die is not fair but the pain has gone, the day we died
The day we die is the day we come alive in god’s hands
From a testing father

Second Skill: The 5 Pillars Training Pillar FOUR

 

 

Pillar FOUR

You will now find the information coming together I hope you find it useful.

Pillar 4: Does the Compensation Plan Pay Part-Timers?

• 95% of networkers are part-time people.
Make sure that people can make a decent income working a few hours per week.
• Beware of companies that advertise how many millionaires they have created.
Make sure it's not at the expense of those "at the bottom". Everyone should be able to benefit.
Take the Comp Plan Test - Ask yourself this question:
• "How many people do I need on my Team to earn a recurring income check of  £500 per month?"
• There are companies out there that require as many as 500 and as few as 20.
• It's not unusual to see well-established companies that require 150 to 350 people and
they are still able attract new distributors - Amazing! They must be sold on the product!
• If your upline won't or can't answer this basic question, You should Run.
• If you are making only 5% to 8% commissions on product, You are being extremely underpaid.
• If a company stresses "Recruit, Recruit, Recruit!", You should "Run, Run, Run!"
• The purpose of any business is moving product from the company to the end-consumer.
• The majority of your commissions MUST come from product sales; otherwise, it is a SCAM.
• And if you work a plan that Does Not pay on product volume,
somewhere in the process You will lose money!
• More important: You will lose Credibility Too!

The hallmark of a well-managed organization is not the absence of problems, but whether or not problems are effectively resolved. -- Steve Ventura

Great service requires the extra degree.

The world will be a better place when..

“AND THEN SOME…
These three little words are the secret to success.
They are the difference between average people
and top people in most companies.
The top people always do what is expected…
and then some.
They are thoughtful of others,
they are considerate and kind…
and then some.
They meet their responsibilities fairly and squarely…
and then some.
They are good friends and helpful neighbours…
and then some.
They can be counted on in an emergency…
and then some.
I am thankful for people like this,
for they make the world a better place.
Their spirit of service is summed up in these three little words…
and then some.”  ~Carl Holmes

The truth about MLM’s Part Four
Technorati Tags: green personality,truths about MLM,mentor,gray lawrence,mental attitude
To move forward one must have the ability to learn!

Green: self-contained and indirect (Melancholy)

If the person is NOT analytical, always wanting more and more information about whatever it is they’re interested in, they are not Green.
A gentleman walked up and stopped. He read the big banner. His arms were crossed. He had a shirt with a breast pocket, pen in the pocket. He wore khaki green pants, a crease down the middle where they’d been ironed, and penny loafers.
He looked at me and ordered, “Mentor me!”
“If I was to be coaching you, I’d start working on Your weaknesses. Your weaknesses are that you overanalyse everything. You’ve lost a ton of money because of your inability to make a decision. You’ll sit there and think about it, think about it, analyse it, wonder why you shouldn’t do it, why the glass is half empty.
“You have a problem with depression – you easily get depressed. You have a problem with loneliness. And you’re very pessimistic.
“But it’s amazing how many strengths You have. You’re one of the most organized people. You are an amazing planner. You’re a dependable problem solver. You are task persistent. You are amazing on follow through. And everything you do is accurate.

“But the problem you’ve struggled with your whole life is being pessimistic about everything. You have no belief that You will ever be a huge success in life. You’re always looking at why it’s not going to work. You think, ‘It’ll work for everybody else, but it’s not going to work for me.’
“You use a lot of words like try, maybe, could, possibly, we’ll see.
“And what I would do to coach you is to help you realize that You have to learn to be decisive. You have to learn to go with it, be tuned in to your gut feeling and go with it.
“The words you speak are critical, because you speak Your reality into existence. When you say negative things, you are actually putting those things into Your life. That’s exactly what you do. And that’s why You’re so unhappy.”

Character is accurately reflected in one’s mental attitude.

This is decision time..

A Positive Path Must Be Taken, it is UP to YOU! http://ow.ly/5sqtf
Second Skill: The 5 Pillars Training Pillar TWO

PILLAR TWO
Pillar 2: Has the company passed the "early failure" Time Line? Are the company's Products timed with the beginning of a massive trend of consumer demand?
• Beware of "ground floor opportunities" and start-up companies.
• There should be no rush to get in on the "ground floor".
• 99% of companies don't last two years.
• If the company is good today, it will be great tomorrow.
• Most people don't make money in the first two years while the company is dealing with start-up issues.
• Profit comes AFTER two years. Join then.
• Avoid companies which have passed beyond their "momentum phase" and have become household names.
(The realistic potential for big growth in gone)
• Do not join a company with a product that has no profit margin!
(i.e - a long distance service or a vinyl record company)

The Truths about MLM Part Three

The main aim in life is the ability to understand each other

Blue: open and direct (Sanguine)

If the person is NOT a social animal, craving almost constant contact with people, they are not Blue.
This person walks up, and you see flamboyant facial expressions, hand movements, body movements, arms moving, maybe a Hawaiian shirt. Something bright & flashy – jewellery, gold, a diamond ring, gold necklace. Anything flashy, a lot of movement, excited, excited, excited.
And they say “Mentor me!”
“OK. The reason you are so successful in life and in business is that you are an excellent promoter. You’re energetic, enthusiastic, motivating, convincing. You always see the big picture. You’re the life of the party, and You’re one of the most creative people on the planet.
You can create it, but you can’t build it. Your problem is, you are unorganized. You’re scattered. You’ve never balanced a check book in your life.
The first thing I’d do in mentoring you would be to help You start using systems to keep yourself organized. Then you won’t be so scattered. And you can focus on your follow-up. That can change Your life overnight.

A positive mental attitude is an irresistible force that knows no such thing as an immovable body.

Have you decided that this is you? or are you the next category!
