My Life!

Everyone is different when it comes to how they work and/or study. For instance, some people need absolute silence no distractions to accomplish anything. Myself and many others, I am sure, can work with noise in the background. For instance, as I am typing this I am not only instant messaging on aol and facebook, but I am also listening to some songs I downloaded on my phone. Music stimulates my brain cells and I just start typing. For instance if you look back to when my last post was, it was months ago. I let life get in the way, and when I sat down at my desk to get back in to the flow of things, "Brain Freeze" . What do I blog about, what will my readers find valuable? So this one is short and sweet. It doesn't matter how you move forward, just do it. No more excuses, because if you keep putting it off until the situation is ideal, you'll never get started. Live in the moment, do something, it doesn't have to be perfect but it has to be something. My personal experience, is I have put off for way too long, that if I had done what I am now doing, I would be miles ahead. So are you ready? Come on join me, do something new today to move you one step closer to your dreams.

I  posted this on Facebook  a while back and totally neglected my blog but now is the time to keep up with my blogs. Welcoming myself back to life. lol Okay, I know quite a few of you have been calling, texting and emailing me about what I have been up to since I have not been very active on facebook and my blog. So, here it is. Lots of changes, the two biggest being divorce, and finding work outside my home. Enough said. The good news is it’s time to start over and with that I have been doing my due diligence on what network marketing company to begin building my future with. I have been involved in the industry over ten years and I still have the belief that network marketing is one of the top ways to build true financial wealth.  Build it once, build it big and build it to last a lifetime.  People say money isn't everything, but it sure is easier to get things with money, and I'm not ashamed to say that I love money.  I love what I can buy, what I can do, where I can go and not worrying about it, is the BEST.  I'm not saying it has been easy for me the past two years going through the divorce, that is why I stepped away from this industry and went to work outside the home, but I will say I never lost my belief that I wouldn't make it.  I did what I had to do to get by, kept my chin up, my spirits up and my options open, always knowing that the light at the end of the tunnel would never go out but continue to get brighter and brighter.  I guess that's what they mean when they say the future's so bright I gotta wear shades. LOL. 


Anyway, to make a long story short, I waited too long and forgot how inspiring network marketing can be and now I am ready and looking for others to join me in the quest for financial domination.  Are you ready to take back control of your life?  Don't wait as long as I did to make the decision to get started for the first time or all over again.  If I can do it, so can YOU!


Check out my links, call me, text me, email me.  Whichever works for you will work for me!


To your bright future!  Cheers!


All my best, PEACE

FACEBOOK AND WORD OF MOUTH MARKETING

I attended a high school reunion for the class that graduated a year before me. It was their 27th year since being out of school and one of the guys from the class set up a more intimate get together while he was visiting from out of town. There were two ways he did this which remind me of the forces that drive the network marketing industry.

First, he is on Facebook, not building a business but for social reasons. So he sent everyone he knew on Facebook an invite to the event (provided they went to our High School) and regardless of if they graduated in his year or not. You see he was using the network he built in school, not just of the people in his class, but of all the people he knew in high school. (hint: we network with other people in other networking businesses).

Second, word of mouth, all the people he invited sent the invitation to people they knew that went to high school with us. Again, the year they graduated didn't matter.

The outcome, through the internet and word of mouth, there was a great turnout for the event. Held at a local bar/restaurant near the school we graduated from.

And here is something else I noticed. The relationships we built 27 years ago, still applied this past weekend. New friendships and new memories were made. No matter how much time goes by those friendships never die. Build them once, build them right, build them to last your lifetime!

Gotta love Facebook! Bringing the world back together!

Quality of a Leader!

There are many qualities that make a leader a leader and I will cover them over the course of the next month or so but I wanted to post this blog about four short words that sum up what has lifted most successful individuals above the crowd "a little bit more". They did all that was expected of them and a little bit more.

If you think about it, there really is no competition at the top. The top consistents of the three percenters who do "a little bit more". Most people think they can never attain greatness-and I understand the definition of greatness and success vary by individual- but if you knew, truly knew in your heart that you could be all and have all that you ever dreamed, what would your definition be? What little bit more would you do to get there? It isn't about luck, or smarts, or connections, or degrees, or location or circumstances or environment. It's about doing a little bit more than the average person on a daily and consistent basis. Making a little bit more of the right choices, that is what will get you what you want in life. Sitting around, hoping, praying, searching, playing the lotto. That won't get it for you. Making a decision TODAY, to do just a little bit more, to further your education, to invest in your future, to build your business, to nurture your children, to get healthy, that is the difference of a leader.

It starts with you. If you can lead yourself to greatness, you can lead an army.

And once you begin to lead, and you find your team duplicating, and others following, that is when you will join the three percenters who are leaders in this world.

J. Paul Getty, the first billioniare, “I’d rather be paid 1% of a hundred people’s efforts than 100% of my own”.

Happy Mothers Day!

Wow, Mothers Day is a great day, and being a mother of four kids, it gives me the time to reflect on exactly what kind of mother I have been and how that has impacted my children. It is not only a time to celebrate being a mom, but being the person in a childs life that instills values, love, committment, and the list is endless.


Being a mom is a huge responsibility but lets face it, there isn't really an owners manual on how to be a mom, and how to raise your child or children. And being in home business is no different. For example, some of us, make the decision to have kids, don't do any prep work, don't talk to other mothers, we just decide we want kids and we go ahead and start a family. Once the child is born, it is a learn as you go experience, we have setbacks, failures, make mistakes but all in all we learn and get better and adapt and change and if it works we continue to use it, if not, we chuck it and look for a new way.


Then there are those of us that prepare and prepare and prepare, and once ready we start our family. We have a schedule and timeline for everything, from how many kids we are going to have, how many years apart they will be, what schools they will go to, we start saving for their college, and wedding immediately. We read books, talk to other parents, talk to each other about how they are going to raise the kids, and then we get started, and guess what, along they way, there are detours, changes, nothing goes as exactly as planned but we know what our final goal is and we pretty much stay the course, and in the end (is there really an end, when it comes to kids?) in this instance, we will use the term end, as the moment the child moves out and is on their own, so in the end, we look at what we have created, what we have given the child, the mistakes and the successes of raising that child and what type of person that child is and what impact that child will have in the world. And we can be proud that we took action and did something, regardless of if we just did it or if we planned every step, the key is we took action and we can be proud that we did do our best.


So with that, take a look at where you are in your business. Are you ready to jump in or are you a planner. Either way do something, nurture it and do daily activities to make sure you are progessing. What kind of a parent are you, and what kind of an entreprenuer are you. One that sets goals and educates themself and then gets started, or the type that jumps right in feet first, learning as you go. Either way, with a great business model such as the one explained in the CoffeeHouse Letter, you can't lose. If you are looking for a way to be a better business owner and provide your family with financial stability and give your children the keys to being successful in whatever it is they choose, lead by example, and you make the decision today, to be your best and do your best.

Here is a quote from Jim Rohn: "If kids clearly see the promise, they will gladly pay the price."

Happy Mothers Day and to your continued success both personally and professionally in 2009!

Home Business Success

Are you considering getting started in a home business and wondering if you have what it takes to succeed? Are you the entrepreneurial type?

I read somewhere that there are four categories people fall into by the age of 65.

Out of 100 people:

36% will still continue to work after retirement, maybe they are the people greeting us at WalMart.

54% are dependent on social security and/or pension – and unbelievably, most of these people are happy to be getting 50% of what they made when they were working - something wrong with that picture.

5% have died.

4% retire financially dependent, meaning they have enough money to live on.

1% are independently wealthy.

Now not everyone can be in the 1% category, as someone has to provide certain services or none of us would survive. But I know which category I am in.

So if you are telling yourself you do not have at least $1500 to invest in a business, take a closer look at your circumstances. Somewhere something went wrong and you have to decide if you want to change it or continue on that same path.

Which category do you choose? If you choose the 1% are you willing to back it up and take the necessary actions to achieve that type of success. It is your choice. Life is all about choices. We have the Freedom to choose and do anything we want.

Success does not happen by accident, it is born out of intentions and action. It starts with your mindset.

Here are some great books to get you started:

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki
The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale
Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting by Lynn Grabhorn
