Values of setting goals Part one

 

Don’t be afraid to aim high when choosing your life’s goal, for no matter how high you aim, your achievements may fall below it.

Many businesses today advocate “continuous improvement” as part of their quality programs. They have realized that to remain competitive in today’s global economy they must constantly strive to improve every aspect of the business, otherwise they will be overtaken by the competition. The same ethic applies to individuals. All of life is a continuous learning experience. Every success and every temporary setback only serve to prepare you for the time when you will eventually prevail. Your short- and medium-term goals should be realistic and achievable, but your long-term goals should always far exceed your present capabilities. As the Roman poet Virgil said, “Fortune sides with him who dares.” - Napoleon Hill

 

What value do we place on setting goals?

Belief in the power of setting goals brings about results you desire or want to achieve in your life!  It has to be an even 100% if you really want the the achievements you look for.  These can be seen in our everyday life, whether family, friends or business colleagues or your own life.  The beauty is that you are never too old or too young to set goals and reap the benefits from them, I guarantee they will change your life for ever.  It is your decision.

 

Your goals could be anything from: passing an exam, buying your new home or dream car, even if you are playing a sport and you need just one more on the score board, it will give you the energy and desire to be a winner or even owning your own Networking Business working from home, anything you desire you can have.

 

Jon Covey tells his readers to "start with the end in mind" - and when we set a goal we are doing just that.

 

Why set Goals, what is the purpose?

So many people go through their lives lost and without clear direction, making us all subject to the storms and winds in the sea of life. Lack of direction often leads to feelings of stress and anxiety, poor concentration levels, lack of confidence, and living life from a place of being reactive rather than proactive. What matters the most is that people without goals often have little determination, patience or tenacity.

 

When you set and achieve a goal, you have an opportunity to pat yourself on the back. Even if you don't achieve exactly what you set out to do, a small improvement is better than no improvement. While you grow in your own achievements you will notice along the route of improvement there will be numerous more achievements  and more to learn along the way, so that you can acknowledge yourself for. All this helps build self esteem.

 

For those who are serious about sport, or who are running a business or even have a senior role within a company, setting goals is an essential ingredient to success. The only problem is not everyone does it. It may take a conversation with a coach, or business advisor or a mentor to get them thinking along these lines.

We at Mentoring For Free offer this service

  Setting goals is not just for sport or work, everyone can benefit from a well-worded goal. Whether you seek a new partner, a better relationship with your existing one, a new job, a new house, more energy, more abundance, improved health, a stress-free life, or something else, the right goal for you, can make all the difference.

 

Planning
Transformation of the intangible impulse of desire into the tangible reality of money calls for the use of a plan, or plans.- Napoleon Hill

 

How do you set goals?
Setting goals is a very easy process to do at its simplest level. Spend a lot of time designing your own goals “make them personal”  to you, this will help you focus on the most important areas of your life, remember what is important today may not be in a few month's time, but do not lose your focus, tomorrow is another day!  Remember to do a self analysis often and if you so desire use a scoring system like 1 out of 10 and 1 being the least important, so how do you rate this goal?

 

Dreams fade away because we can’t tolerate the short term pain necessary to get to our long term goal.

A Book of Secrets Equals Success??

 
From The Secret Daily Teachings
Here is a checklist to make sure you have your receiving channels open:
Do you receive compliments well? Do you receive unexpected gifts easily? Do you accept help when it is offered? Do you accept your meal being paid for by a friend?
These are little things, but they will help you know if you are open to receiving. Remember, the Universe is moving through everyone and every circumstance to give to you.

May the joy be with you. - Rhonda Byrne
 
What if there was a secret book somewhere that could virtually guarantee your success, would you want to know where it was? Would you be willing to read and learn?  If there are unwritten rules and laws inside that book that only a small number of people knew about and if those laws could literally change your whole life, would you play by those rules and adhere to those laws in order to have the life you really want? Would that secret book be your Bible? 
 

Awareness is the first step to positive change. -- Leslie C. Aguilar

 

This is something to think about it for a moment; if you were handed a secret book with a set of rules and a simple but powerful formula to follow that would allow you to own your life, would you read that book from front to back cover and put the secrets to work? or would you leave it standing idle on your bookshelf and forget about it? 
 

The rich the famous and the brightest off all around the globe since time began: Socrates, Plato, Einstein & Leonardo Davinci to name but a few; BUT in Modern times we have: Jack Canfield, Dr Denis Waitley, Bob Proctor & Dr John Gray again a few people of those that knew “The Secret” Why do you think they are who they are and know what they know?  It is because they knew the secret! They wrote it and now you to can have it.  ONLY if you read it will you progress in life.

 
If you’re ready to push aside your past and plan a future that is everything you have ever dreamed of or wanted, The following is a secret formula to making millions in your MLM  or Network Marketing Business, that is more valuable than any book you will ever read.  Now read on…
 
The Five Secrets To Changing Your Life

The First Secret – Your Past is NOT Your Future. (Something we should not forget)

We are all influenced by our past!  It might be that our parents, peers or family members that presented us with situations and challenges when we were young children.  These we were not always comfortable with or wanted to do and that we struggled to come through in the way we would have wanted to. This is simply a part of life but for some, this was and often is a time of failure, but only by those who do not have the faith in you, yet still, leave heavy footprints in the sand.
 

The secret to creating the future you desire and truly deserve is to leave this footprint behind. Allow the sea to wash over it until the footprint is washed away. 

 

The Second Secret – Your Beliefs Become Your Reality.

The human mind is more powerful that any computer. It has the ability to store an unlimited amount of information and solve the most complex problems and has taken our species from the dark ages to a place where we are now globally connected in ways many of our ancestors could only dream of. We all have the power to create change and develop ideas into life changing realities. Those who we remember for their achievements and inventions had one single thing in common; a belief in what they were able to achieve and that belief enabled them to create what we remember them for. Edison’s first electric light bulb, Einstein’s theory of relativity, Levi Strauss’ Denims. We remember their achievements and inventions which were a result of their belief in a new reality.

When you start to focus on what you believe will be your achievements: Your Goals Your Dreams and Your Ambitions  and you can see them mapped out in front of you of you (goal by goal), your beliefs “WILL” become your reality. Over time your journey, struggle by struggle, simply becomes a part of the process of getting to where you are going.  Then it becomes part of your past, but only if you move forward..

 
The Third Secret – Your Actions Become Your Habits.

Affirmations, confirmations even declarations within our minds create long term mental changes and are valuable to the process of our change in life. Results come from a different place and are achieved as an output of some kind of action.

Great results are the outcome of focused activity, while poor results are the outcome of unplanned random acts, subconsciously intended to fail because we did not believe.

Successful entrepreneurs have three basic attributes in common;  Strong Work Ethics,  Self  Belief and Targeted  Focussed Vision on the task in hand, no distraction will stop them for long. This doesn’t mean you should never have more than one thing in the pot when you are planning to some serious changes. In contrast, wealth is often created through multiple streams of income. The key to creating that wealth, though, is to focus and complete “One Task at a Time”. Creating, planning and carrying out many tasks over time that will have a deep impact on the overall plan you have put in place.

Understand why you want to achieve change, have faith in yourself and those who are with you,  from family member's to the leaders who have faith, trust and belief in you.  This is why they chose you to be with them, in their Network Marketing Business.  Now put your detailed plan in place of how that changes will work for you, remember you are not alone. Once your plan is in place, break it down into daily, weekly and monthly tasks that you must complete and watch your actions become the habits of a successful entrepreneur.

 
 
 The Fourth Secret – Your Heart Will Lead To Wealth.
Business is often seen as the domination of grey suits, special relationships and serious and often boring conversations that only certain people will or can follow, this is a fact of life of many industries and at times this is needed.

There is a place also for laughter, love and deep connections. Connecting with your customers, business partners and team members and creating the type of workplace or business that does not feel like work and feels more like a place we all desire to be at. Creating great connections brings people together behind a cause and allows you to bring people with you on your journey, to the top!

These connections will help you to truly unlock the secret and throw open the door to riches by creating the lifestyle you are searching for. A life unrestricted by the normal stresses and expectations of the business world and weekly cheque, it may be hard to believe but being led by your heart and not your head will take you from the job to your desires, dreams & goals, by helping others get what they want in life then yours will surely follow.
 

The Fifth Secret – Your Goals Are Greater Than Your Gains.

Great gifts are often wrapped in simple paper.  When we begin this journey we’re often so deep in debt have no faith, or we can not see a clear sky because of a  dark cloud hovering above us, or feeling so lost in our current place in life, that our focus is on something that is simply material.   We’ would like a new car or a holiday with the family or we would do anything to have an extra few thousand in our bank account each month. These material things will only carry us so far on this journey and after a while will cease to inspire us to reach our true potential.  This is the reason why so many fail: Loss of way, Dreams, Goals, Faith and lack of strength to keep going.  To be a leader you must act like one and never take council with someone who is not going anywhere, or has given up before reaching the finishing post! 

That is the difference between a winner and a loser, which one will you be? it is up to you.

 
Fitting in is a short-term strategy, standing out pays off in the long-run.
 
The secret to creating the life you know is out there waiting for you is to have a goal that is truly bigger than your gain. This is different for each of us and will only come to you when you are ready to receive it, but When it does, make it your legacy and your journey will fall into place. Do ask advice about “Personalities” this is an area we are proud of having expertise, knowledge and training in, as we are all different, with individual needs desires and requirements, I promise you this will make a difference in your businesses.  We call it “The Colours To Success”.  A small part of something big..

Dreams fade away because we can’t tolerate the short term pain necessary to get to our long term goal.
 
Making Changes in your life and creating the future you desire starts when you make a decision to fulfil your dream. You may be focused on your current problems, your challenges and concerns at the present time with little more in your sights than paying the bills or mortgage payment. You may even hate your job and the people you work with or feel that your social life has simply vanished beneath all of your personal responsibilities and free time is nothing but a dream. These are real challenges and often take over our lives without even being invited..
When we push through these barriers and challenges we are able to make a space for the things we truly value to come into focus; our family loved ones, our health and happiness and our true desire to leave the world a better place through our actions and achievements.  Help someone else get what they want and your reasons for taking part in your Network Marketing Business will break through the dark cloud to the blue sky above and all the wealth you desire… This is the real secret.   Rhonda Byrne

Do not Waste Time & Energy on the Small Stuff

 

Impossible
Through some strange and powerful principle of “mental chemistry” which she has never divulged, Nature wraps up in the impulse of strong desire “that something” which recognizes no such word as impossible, and accepts no such reality as failure. – Napoleon Hill

 

A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the table in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, about 2 inches in diameter.

 

He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.  

 

So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks.

 

He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

 

The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.   Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

 

He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "Yes."

 

"Now," said the professor, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things - your family, your partner, your health, your children - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter - like your job, your house, your car.

The sand is everything else. The small stuff."

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued "there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life.

 

The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man's determination. ~Tommy Lasorda

 

If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party and fix the disposal.

Take care of the rocks first - the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

The Power of Simplicity - that is what the story demonstrates. If I may add my two cents worth... the story underlines the need to give priority to the IMPORTANT over the URGENT. Once the Important is in place, we can attend to the Urgent. If we fail to do that, we become perpetual slaves to the great tyrant called Urgent.

 

Opportunity wastes no effort looking for the person who is wasting time through idleness or destructive action.
Opportunities somehow always seem to gravitate toward busy people who can hardly keep up with those they already have. Logically, it would seem that opportunities would make an effort to seek out individuals who have an abundance of time available, but instead opportunities appear for those who have goals and dreams and a plan for achieving them. We often think of opportunity as a living, moving thing, something that actively seeks out a willing recipient. In fact, the reverse is true. Opportunities are ideas or concepts that exist only in the minds of those who recognize them. When you have no goals or plans, opportunities mean nothing to you. They become opportunities only when you recognize them as ideas that you can implement to help you move toward your goal. – Napoleon Hill

 

There is no difference between the Jar The Pebbles The Sand & Your Life.  The only difference is how you handle it, the choice is yours.  We are a team of volunteers at “Mentoring For Free”  offering  such advice in the world of “NETWOTK MARKETING”  Be a leader and complete the task required to save you working on the small stuff!  Do not forget the mind requires training and this can be obtained at the link below!  Trust in your  Ability your Faith & your Desire to win..

MLM Regrets I have had a few..

 

Procrastination is the bad habit of putting off until the day after tomorrow what should have been done the day before yesterday.
For an achiever, perhaps the most dangerous, most destructive habit of all is procrastination, for it robs you of your initiative. When you put things off once, it’s easier to put them off again, until the habit is so firmly ingrained that it cannot be easily broken. Sadly, the effects of the habit of procrastination are also cumulative. Its cure is obvious — action. You’ll be surprised how quickly you begin to feel better about yourself and your situation when you get going on something — anything. As British prime minister and author Benjamin Disraeli said, “Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.” Napoleon Hill

 

"I did not do this 15 years ago...is what a lot of people think  “ASK about TRAINING”    the starting blocks about understanding  network marketing.

People (not unlike myself) get caught up in how many years they've lost  or how much they might have made  had they started just a few years earlier They look at their sponsor and feel that surge of envy,  knowing this person is already where they want to be  and struggling to understand how they can "catch up"

But here's the thing... The longer you do nothing  the further left behind you will be. If you want to build a retirement fund  that will allow you to live comfortably  when you retire in 10, 20 or 30 years time  then network marketing is the best option you have. 

 

But choosing the right one is the biggest problem in the networking world

 

Property investment is one way but a very long term investment, try retiring with a walk away income that you are looking for , may be in another 20 years you may have an income.  How old will you be then?  

OK how are you doing with bricks and mortar  

Lets try shares.  Every day we see another economy hit by bad banking practises and share prices looking less and less predictable

Shares OK?

My favourite social welfare - there just isn't enough to go round, but what is available is not going to give you  a walk away income is it.  Unless you're planning to throw yourself in prison,  nobody is going to be looking out for you other than you.

SO Prison it is then

 

Everything comes if a man will only wait. I have brought myself by long meditation to the conviction that a human being with a settled purpose must accomplish it, and that nothing can resist a will that will stake even existence for its fulfilment.

Benjamin Disraeli

 

If you don't do something you will hit rock bottom financially. 

You will find yourself with more debt and less time to pay it off.

If you think the government will bail you out  financially you're only fooling yourself.

If you think your family will bail you out  you are fooling everyone.

 

The only person who can do a thing about all this is “YOU”. 

 

Stop waiting for a green light to tell you when to move and take control starting today.

Be all you want to be and all that you desire, it is up to you, start now ! You have everything to gain and nothing to lose.

 

Down load the book opposite “Success in 10 Steps”  Start leading the life you have always dreamed of, but think of everyone else, their dreams and desires then yours will surely follow!

Network Marketing What is it The Final Part

 

  From The Secret Daily Teachings

The fastest way to become the Master of your thoughts and emotions is through challenging situations. If your life is going along fairly smoothly, there are not the same opportunities that enable you to strengthen your power and become the Master of your thoughts and emotions.   You see, even challenges are beautiful opportunities in disguise.   May the joy be with you,  Rhonda Byrne

 

Awareness is the first step to positive change. -- Leslie C. Aguilar

 

Stay Connected

Once you have made the connection with one or more people, you must keep in touch, staying connected means you are a “Networking Marketing Business Builder”   with the professional approach that those who are looking will actually see this and be confident in that you are serious!   This is the correct way not just “staying in touch”  This is not quite the same. There is no need to feel that you have to be so close you are in their personal zone, it is uncomfortable to you and certainly to the person that you are trying to gain their confidence, how ever you need to find a way to strengthen this bond, by keeping “ACTIVE”  in your mind and theirs, in a variety of ways:

• Congratulate them in some small way, either in their:  enthusiasm, desire to be winners, or even when their favourite team wins what ever the sport, anything they like or can relate too.
• Greet them at the association meeting or monthly networking event With Enthusiasm  but with sincerity, there is nothing worse than a shallow compliment or greeting, of course a hand shake a wave or even a positive nod of recognition, will be well received.
• Add them to your newsletter mailing list (with their permission of course) should you have one. We at “Mentoring For Free” provide such a service.
• Send information on a regular basis (do not over do it) about what they will be getting involved with, it shows your interest, your enthusiasm and your understanding in their business and their personal interests.
• Share experiences interests and hobbies with them outside of networking events, should this be something of interest!  Do not go full strength with everything at once, they will run and you may never see them again, this is an area you must judge, carefully!
• If the person is comfortable with you, sharing your life and triumphs this can have a positive effect and will bring you closer together.

 

Find Information

You can give information without reservation because there is a never-ending supply, but remember the training we offer at “Mentoring For Free”.  is professional and provided in steps to help you on the right path in stages, there is nothing worse than having too much at once leading to: “Information Overload”

Information is defiantly required to ensure training is done correctly and in order with the opportunity of the person now getting involved to take time out with questions, even to go over what has already been taught! not everyone is at the same pace as you are, some are actually faster and pick things up quickly; make an allowance for every individual .  Never be afraid of adding  a personal note to each person again we are all different!  Remember it is not just information; it's carefully selected and filtered information that is valuable. Using a variety of online tools offered in training, they can be to your advantage as well.  Tracking multiple topics from thousands of sources available to all .  Accomplishments within your business and the prospects should be rewarded is some small way, like a hand written well-done note.

 

People hear what we say but they see what we do. And seeing is believing. -- Eric Harvey and Al Lucia

 

Do seek advice on understanding people and their: likes, dislikes and differences, We Can All Learn from the teaching's of the famous. I can offer you this guide (via a link) it is called The “Colours” a disc covering the various differences that make up who we are, learn your people skills, it is as valuable as gold..also know as: Peaceful Phlegmatic, Sanguine, Melancholy and choleric

 

 Social Media

If you want an easy and yet powerful way to stay connected with people, then you must use social media, especially Facebook and LinkedIn. New sites will come and go, but you can not argue that people will not be using social media to connect in the future. Not having an online presence will be like not having a business card. If you're already using social media, then make sure to connect there with anyone you have an interest in. Use lists and grouping features to categorize and keep track of your various groups of friends, business contacts, and referral partners.

If you have no idea where to start, get a more experienced member of the team to show you how to get set up. This we can do at “Mentoring For Free”   and will help with your relationships of the future.  YouTube and searching the web for other information, is very important to you and your business, but do not be put off, these features and benefits are a valuable source of information.  Again we train in these areas, just ask! 

 

Keep Track

Most people know about 150 other people just from interacting with family, people in the workplace and friends, do not think that these are the only people that can be approached, be prepared for those that do not think and see what you do!

Once you start deliberately building a larger network, you must have some way of keeping track of the people you know, how to reach them and what you know about them. At Mentoring For Free we offer advice help and support in all areas required to build a large and profitable business.  It is up to you to take advantage of this offer, remember the training is in bite sized pieces to ensure you are not putting pressure on yourself or members of your team, especially the new members who will be daunted if offered too much information at once. 

 

I hope you found this beneficial and thank you for taking the time to read and digest the eight parts of “Network Marketing What is It”  Please see the offers below to take your business to the next step, OR ask about where you can seek an opportunity of your own!

Network Marketing What is it Part Seven

Technorati Tags:

Wishes
Every human being who reaches the age of understanding of the purpose of money wishes for it. Wishing will not bring riches. But desiring riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways and means to acquire riches, and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognize failure, will bring riches.

 Napoleon Hill

 

 Protect your Time

 Inexperienced networkers complain about events that "waste" their time, rather strange, or is it that they do not know how to conduct themselves and expect everyone to come to them, food for thought!  Whether the event has an agenda or not.  That is the bad part, with no agenda it will be lost.  Unless it is a lunch of coffee meeting, but even then something must be discussed even as small talk otherwise nothing will be gained by this type of meeting.  How ever you are in charge of your own time spent at the meeting, so you can   always leave feel free to leave.

 

Learn how to gracefully end conversations. Don't let politeness force you into listening to
a long-winded presentation. It's perfectly acceptable to interrupt someone politely if they won't let
you make a comment. Say "It's been very interesting meeting you, but I should let
you mix with other people as I have to say hello to some people, too." You have the right to protect your time by drawing a line for people who simply want to sell to you. This will promote your professionalism and often people will follow you.

 

 Respect Their Time

On a positive note protecting your own time is respecting other peoples time . You may be surprised and fascinated by their stories, or their services but do not take over or monopolise the event, as general networking is based on building rapport, introductions and for staying connected, but not for deal making or selling!  to make the “Deals” or talk about your business be polite and ask if they would like to make an appointment with you to suit them. then let them keep networking, it is the professional way to do business.

Interrupt “yourself” not those around you, especially if “you” are asking the questions, like I am interested in learning more about you and your business but do not want to keep you from meeting other people while we are all here.  Do you have a business card?  I will also offer you mine should you wish to meet later, then we can set a date and time perhaps tomorrow, if you agree.  This will show your leadership skills and professionalism without being too pushy, keeping the prospect at ease and comfortable, Never come on strong!.  This often is appreciated and shows you are thoughtful and considerate.  Thus they are more likely to make and keep an appointment with you.

 

Just One

Don't underestimate the power of making just one great connection. You don't need to meet everyone. A pocketful of business cards does not mean a thing if you do not make a connection or if you're not going to follow up to strengthen the relationship.  Just one great connection can make the entire event worthwhile. They may be the big business builder you have dreamed of, you never know until you help them get what they want in “Your Networking Business”.   They may even be more inclined to offer you or even share a massive list of referrals  with whom you and the person you are with can build a wonderful lasting relationship and massive business!  So treat every one as a special person and as an individual, they will respect you for it.   Always focus on finding just one great connection instead of as many as possible, especially when you are new.  It is better to provide help and support to each individual as required, do not try to do the same for too many at once or you will lose them and your way.

 

Business Cards

Handing out business cards to everyone within reach is not networking. If they're not interested, all you have done is delivered junk mail without the mailbox.  This is the killer to any networking opportunity.  You don't care if they have your card or not.  If you want to stay in touch with someone, you get their information, be a professional!.  Though you do not worry about handing out your card, you must have a supply of them with you. When you ask for someone's card, they'll almost always ask for yours in return.
You'll seem unprepared and lacking in professionalism if you don't have one. The rule of thumb is always give out your card “When Asked”  thus preventing “The mail box syndrome”

 

Simple, clear purpose and principles give rise to complex and intelligent behaviour. Complex rules and regulations give rise to simple and stupid behaviour. —Dee Hock

 

Willing cooperation produces enduring power, while forced cooperation ends in failure.  No civilization based upon the unjust treatment of its people has ever endured. A tyrant may force the cooperation of others for a time, but that power is never sustained. Only when people are accorded the respect they deserve do they willingly create and maintain successful organizations and societies. When you build a company or an organization based on fairness and justice for every member, you have built a power that will long endure. The best way to secure the commitment and unending cooperation of others is through the simple application of the Golden Rule. It is the most successful and long-lasting management theory ever developed. When you treat others as you would like to be treated were you in their situation, you will inspire loyalty and enthusiastic cooperation.

Network Marketing What is it Part Six

A Secret Scrolls message from Creator of The Secret

 Every good thought, every good word, every good emotion, and every act of kindness, is lifting the vibration of your being to new heights.  And as you begin to raise your vibration, a new life and a new world will reveal itself to you. 

There is no limit to how high you can increase your vibration, because there is no limit to the good thoughts you can think, or the good words you can speak, or the acts of kindness that you can do.  Other than transforming your own life through lifting your vibration, you lift others' lives too. The positive vibration of your energy emanates out like a stone thrown into water, touching our planet and every living thing on it.  As you rise higher, you take the world with you.

The Secret Team has created a gift for you.  (The clip can be found on the secret TV website) This clip features our beautiful Planet Earth.  As you experience this clip you will emit positive forces of energy across Planet Earth that will reach every single living thing on it.  You will lift yourself, and as you lift yourself, you lift the entire world.   Rhonda Byrne

What Do You Do

Unless you are wearing something unusual or being very tall, the first thing someone will ask you is “What do you do?”

You must have confidence, very concise and an even more interesting answer to this question.  If you are uncertain or surprised by the question, you will lose “credibility”.  Well to be honest it would make you feel inside that you would not like to do business with this person, because YOU do not seem to know what you are doing!  The fact may be you are quite brilliant but it is what others think of you on the spot - people judge as they see, it is normal, but totally wrong!

In reality you will have about 15 seconds to keep their attention so be Concise! any longer and you risk moving into the common fault of “The Sales Pitch”  A very interesting description would be to invite them to ask more questions, Confidence (not arrogance) is attractive and very likeable to others. 

Instead of  “winging it” at your first networking event, write out your self introduction, read it out Loud and rewrite  it until it sounds natural.  Memorise it then forget you that you have memorised it.  This will prevent it sounding just like it has been memorised, this is the hard part! Then learn to anticipate the questions that your introduction will create, think about them and answer them in your mind before you have to do it for real

Small Talk         

Most of the successful people I've known are the ones who do more listening than talking. -- Bernard M. Baruch

This area has a huge purpose, never disregard a light social conversation.           It gives us all an opportunity to start building a rapport with those around you, in a very respectful way.  By doing this we can explore whether or not we wish to continue getting to know them.  Without small talk we would just walk around asking everyone; “Do you want to buy my products”  it will save you time but do nothing towards building relationships.

Since most business people do not wear their favourite sports top or carry their favourite books to events, thus offering a way for us to find out what we really do have on common.  Great relationships  have been built on the smallest commonalities.  Give small talk a lot of respect and use it wisely to help you learn important things about people you meet, this will give them the chance to get to know you and expand on the development of “Trust”

Likeability

If you want the best results and respect from those who you are talking with regards “Network Marketing” do remember that people will do business with people they like, feel comfortable with and trust!  They will often refer people to you as a mark of respect and buy products and services from companies they like more.

Being a likeable person means making it easy for other people to like you, which is exactly what you are trying to do.

Extroverts tend to be perceived as more friendly and authentic because of their outgoing and expressive nature.  Yet extroverts can improve their likeability by slowing down to make the connection better even listening with more empathy.  Introverts by their definition prefer fewer and deeper connections, this provides a greater relevance and they do show more empathy.  They can improve their “likeability”   by reducing their shy or reserved behaviours, thus can be misperceived as unfriendly and less authentic.  Be Warned Be Careful and Be Thoughtful,  But most of all Be Yourself!! 

The next topic will start with “Protect Your Time”

All enduring success is founded upon harmonious human relationships.
Most of us are incapable of “going it alone.” Whether it is in our careers, our personal relationships, or in life, we all need others if we are to achieve the level of success we desire. Besides, what’s the point of having it all if we have no one we care about to share it? You may choose to work with others, you may ignore them, or you may choose to work against them, but the greatest successes in life come to those who work harmoniously with others. When your personal goals coincide with those of another, not only does the power of your combined labours benefit you, but such cooperation also creates a synergistic effect that allows you to achieve far more than the simple sum of your individual efforts. Know that friendship freely given and gratefully received is one of life’s greatest gifts. Napoleon Hill
