...in network marketing.

The saying "Time Flies When You Are Having Fun" is so true.  When we first started this site years ago , we never imagined were it would take us. 

But now, looking at over 3 years of time, approaching the end of 2013  - well it us thinking about the good and the bad of working from home in network marketing. I do this full time among other adventures so I know the weight it can have on one and the pros and cons.

Both John and I have met a lot of individuals along the way. We have fostered relationships, helped many of you grow your businesses, find your niche and obtain true success. We have even came across those who were in complete opposition to what were were doing in our lives and what we were teaching others. But above all --- we failed and succeeded all in the same breath. 

We have learned to live and let live. Not everyone will understand the path you are on. Not everyone will even want to obtain the goals you have - and not everyone has your best interest at heart. What keeps the both of us focused,  is the fact that we are each other's supporters and thrive off of supporting others.

With all the information surrounding working at home, internet and network marketing, it doesn't mean a thing if you don't know how to apply it and make it work for your business. So my recommendation to you? Find someone you trust, find someone who understands the path you are on and find someone who isn't afraid to share insider tips with you, someone who not only looks out for #1 but also for #2, #3 and so forth. Once you find the person (or persons) -  allow them to mentor you. Foster the relationship and watch your work and business truly begin to take shape.

Blessings to you all - strength and endurance because this industry is not for the faint at heart.

A Networker's Positive Self Talk : Things aren’t always what they seem.

Take a minute and look around at your surroundings. Are you in a familiar place or are you someplace new? Try and find something that you may not have noticed before and give it your undivided attention. Really – just stop and look at it. As you continue to focus that object that you are focusing on should suddenly become “real” –you might even noticed something about it that you never saw before. Some people are able to stop and concentrate on one particular item with ease – for someone like me, you may have distractions and really have to make it a point to stop and focus.

Here’s a network’s positive self talk tip:  But no matter your level of concentration, looking at that one item changes how you view that item, your perception changed since the last time you saw it, and suddenly you are looking at the world with a different perception – even if for a second.

Things aren’t always what they seem.

We, as marketers truly bank on this fact. We all share our insights and trainings with others - to make them see things the way we do. It’s a skill that takes time to perfect but if you keep working on it -  it does get perfected. Just like in the movie “Field of Dreams” – if you build it – it will come, truly becomes the reality of your success. Brick by brick, step by step, layer by layer, you are building your destiny.

Dream your dreams, change your story, work on your skill, change your perception and you life will change. Think about your “why” and what caused you to look for something better, for the plan B and the opportunity to fire your boss. Think about how your life will be 5 years from now. If you woke up and everything was perfect…what does that look like? Now, write it out, focus on it, and start building it. Someone wise once told me the networker’s positive self talk tip #2 … “Everything begins with a decision – decide now what you want your reality to be” - Shake off the perception others have planted in your mind for you. You can truly be who you want to me and not what others have told you are. Things aren’t ways what they seem – so today dig deeper and change your reality.

Make today the first day of really shaping the rest of your life. Internalize your why and make it happen. You have to get a little dirty, loose a little sleep, shed some tears to build that building – that building of success and a legacy for your family but know this… “If you build it – they will come”, I am a living testimony of that and you are too.
