Turning Discouragement Into Determination

Discouragement has been regarded by many as a major setback in the pursuit of happiness and fulfillment.However, discouragement to the discerning is a major weapon of self assessment and evaluation to enable us muster strength and determination.  Below are a few tips to turn your discouragement into determination.

1. Make time to study the  attitudes and actions of those    who have earned great victories in  your world.  Read the biographies of men and women who have overcome adversity and gone on to great success. The more you see how other people experienced similar struggles in their early years, the  more you will reinforce your determination to push past whatever discouragement or setback you are experiencing.


2. Find a coach or a mentor who will help you keep your attitude where it needs to be. A good coach or a mentor will help you keep both failures and successes in perspective.

3. Creating written values, mission and vision statements which spell out who you are and what you want your life to become. Also keep them handy for regular review. When a setback has kept you momentarily disheartened, pull out your written statements and remind yourself of who you are and the emotionally compelling vision you are working to achieve. This will help you refocus on your ultimate destination and reconnect with your passion.

4. Develop a method that enables you put things in perspective at will.Whether you take a drive,listen to soothing music, go for a walk or engage in strenuous exercise. You should develop a mechanism   offers you a way to return your thought to a place where mental clarity and confidence in your vision and restored and reinforced.

5. Finally, the most important way to turn your discouragement to determination is by developing the right attitude towards failure. A failure should trigger a careful moment by moment examination of the thinking, planning and actions that led to the failure.     Painstakingly seek to identify what has gone wrong, so that when you face similar circumstances in future you will be   more effective. You will always learn more from failure than from victory.
                       
In conclusion, if you allow mistakes to stop your from moving forward, you have allowed failure to have the victory. Why in the world would you give the potential of failure of failure itself that much power over your destiny? Don’t do it!
Harness the power of failure and continue to pursue you dream.

To your Success,

Ensuring Your Dreams Come True

Ensuring your dreams come true entails setting goals. Goals have been said to be dreams with deadlines. Without setting goals our dreams are mere wishes. 

Goals must contain three elements:

1. Goals Must Be In WritingYour goals must be in writing. If they are not in writing then simply call them what they actually are: desire, wish, hope, one day…
2. Goals Must Be Better Than Your BestYou cannot have a goal to earn $5,000 every month. You can, however have a goal to earn $60,000 this year.
3. Goals Must Be ObtainableCan you relate to it? Because if you can relate to it, you probably can achieve it…
4. Your goals must be: a) written out word for word, b) written in present-tense language, and c) your words must create a strong visual image in your mind’s eye.

The 12th Secret: Ensuring All Your Dreams Come True is realizing that you must,

1. decide what you want
2.  create a plan to achieve what you want, and
3.  your plan (or goal) must be in writing, better than your best, and obtainable.

Assignment: Stop kidding yourself! Either: Invest time to:

1. decide what you want
2. come up with a reasonable plan to get what you want and
3. go to work on the action steps + the acquisition of knowledge (the getting-better-personal-development-part) to get what you want… Or just be honest with yourself and acknowledge the fact that you really don’t want it that bad. Because it really is as simple as Either – Or! Because only when you go to work on your plan, and begin gaining the knowledge, only then will you fully understand what I mean….


All the best,

Attraction Marketing System, Is It The Way Forward?

Attraction Marketing System what’s that? If like me you have been in Network Marketing for years or  just joined you probably may not have heard of it. 

When I discovered the attraction marketing system it completely revolutionised the way I looked at business Why was this?

As previously mentioned, I have been in Network Marketing for years and have been reasonably successful.  The industry has allowed me to achieve most of my life goals. However I was noticing a massive shift towards the internet in nearly all aspects of business. The old ways of marketing were becoming less and less effective.

Warm market will always be recommended. Talking to friends and family is the first thing that a new distributor is advised to do by their upline. Why?  Because their friends and family know and trust them (normally) . That is what I did and probably you did the same with varying success.

After approaching friends and family (warm market) we then had to advertise (cold market). Did you find this frustrating and expensive? I did, but I persevered for years with advertising (newspapers and online), leaflets, drop cards, 3 foot rule etc etc.

At times it felt like I was working in a call centre and not on my own business because I was making so many phone calls to prospects every day and accepting the huge amount of rejection that goes with the system of massive action in the cold market. Is this the way you feel as well?

In Network Marketing, the duplication of a system is imperative for success. The system that I had been taught and utilised was very time consuming and buying leads from lead brokers was expensive and to be honest, very ineffective. I was not happy with the system that I was using and teaching. Do you feel the same?  And like me are looking for another way, something different than plastering adverts for our opportunities everywhere and anywhere!

 Attraction Marketing – The Huge Difference

Traditional marketing and promotional methods lead with the product, service or business opportunity, in the hope that someone might buy.  An attraction marketing system leads with value-based material. Actual information that people are searching for and then guiding them to the place where they can learn more.

This is such a different approach to the traditional method. Instead of teaching the system of approaching anyone who can ‘mist up a mirror’ as a prospect for your business. In attraction marketing you position yourself as a leader. Someone who can provide value and have an answer to someone’s problems or questions. Basically, they are using your experience as a non paid consultant.

This is such a great way of positioning yourself because YOU         are selling YOURSELF and the benefits of working with YOU! 

You are attracting people to you!

How To Put An Attraction Marketing System in Place

Start leading with value, develop a position of wanting to help people to get what they want. This is done by providing helpful material, answering their questions and providing support and importantly STOPPING selling.  

If you make it evident that you care about solving their problems. Even if you do not do any business together, you establish a relationship of trust. 

By developing ‘trust’ this is done by not leading with your product or opportunity. By asking the question ‘What can you do for them?’ Without expecting anything in return.  You have positioned yourself  a long way from being a ‘salesperson’.  Then continue to provide value to your new contacts, who may over a period of time join your business. As it may be the answer to some of their problems. Why? Because they trust, understand and value you as the leader they are possibly looking for in business.

The attraction marketing system can be used for either an online or offline business. The principles of gaining trust are the same for both methods. However, the power of the internet really enhances the process.  The attraction marketing system can be automated on the internet by the use of autoresponders, websites, capture pages and downloads etc. These provide real advantages over an offline business. An online business can communicate to anywhere in the world, the market place is huge!       

Putting The Tools Together

All systems need tools for them to work. If you are like me, you will be thinking ‘this sounds good’ but-;

• ‘How do I position myself as a leader?
• ‘Where do I get all the information that will provide value?’
• ‘How will I produce this information and in what genre?’
• ‘How can I compete in the massive world of Internet marketing?’
• ‘How much will it cost?’
• ‘Help!’

I carried out due diligence in my search and I believe I found the system that answered all my question plus many, many more.

You may, unlike me, have a huge knowledge of the internet and be able to provide your own valuable content such as webinars and trainings. You may also be excellent at online marketing, where you do not require to invest in training for an attraction marketing system.

However if you are like me, you need to invest in your training with an attraction marketing system. There are a few around, I chose the one that suited me and have taken tremendous value from them. You must choose the one you prefer and then use the content they provide. 

Being part of a paid attraction marketing system can have huge benefits particularly at the outset. This is because you can gain immediate access to complete training webinars and coaching courses produced by top earners. You can sometimes offer this quality content free or heavily discounted to prospects and this can help position yourself as someone of value.

The Benefits of  Attraction Marketing

Once you have your attraction marketing system in place. You have positioned yourself as a leader in your niche and branded yourself as unique.

If you choose this method of marketing, your business can benefit by having-:

• No more ‘cold calling’.

How to Succeed in Network Marketing.

How to succeed in Network Marketing can be a complex training. Fundamentally there are ONLY three basic things that have to be mastered to have success. It is really important to carry out due diligence when choosing which Network marketing company to join . Once this has been done then concentrate on the three essentials for success.

I must emphasise that this article quickly covers the three basics.  Each topic that I am going to mention can be broken into many sub-topics. This article covers each one only briefly.

• Retail the product

Consistently retailing is productive in many ways. It shows that you have belief in the product/company. It is profitable for your business and retailing will help fund the cost of running your network marketing business.  Every company’s product is different and how that product is actually retailed varies considerably. I would suggest that you find a successful retailer in your particular company and duplicate whatever they do. (This could be your mentor)

By retailing your chosen company’s product you gain product knowledge, increase your business turnover and importantly learn all the ‘pros and cons’ of retailing. The experience that you gain by moving product can be passed onto future team members. The fact that you retail should encourage ‘team members’ to retail (move product) which enhances duplication and profitability. How to succeed in network marketing is dependent on customer sales, the more there are the more money is made. Retail sales are the lifeblood of any company and this should be no different for a network marketing business.

• Sponsor

Consistently carrying out the required activity to create leads, which are then converted to new team members is essential if you want to build a profitable Network Marketing (MLM) business. Again, every company is different in the way that they recruit. My suggestion is find a ‘mentor’ and duplicate whatever they do to create their leads. And follow their system of converting leads to ‘sign ups’.  The key to how to succeed in network marketing is never ever stop personally sponsoring.  Many people make the mistake of sponsoring a few people into their business and then go into ‘management mode’. 

What does ‘management mode’ mean?  It means that the distributor stops personally recruiting themselves and begins to manage the people that they have already sponsored.  Then they wonder why their team is not growing as fast as they would wish. This is mainly due to the fact that their team duplicates them.  They sponsor a few and then also go into ‘management role’! This means that personal recruitment in the ‘team’ basically comes to a stand still.

‘The Speed of the Leader Dictates the Speed of the Pack’

Always keep on recruiting personally. Your team members are watching you, if they see you consistently retailing the product and sponsoring. They will see you as a person worth following ‘a leader’. Leading by example!

• Teach

One of the most important aspects on how to succeed in network marketing is the ability to create duplication in your team. Again it is important to find a mentor (see article) as every network marketing company has a different training regime.

It is worth remembering that every time you speak you are training. This is really relevant when talking to team members. As soon as you sponsor your first person you are a teacher. The experience of their ‘signing’ into the company is important. This is because if it was a pleasurable experience they will hopefully duplicate this when they sign their people in.

Your attendance of meetings/events is essential if you want your team to duplicate and learn. If you are not there, then how can you expect your team to attend?

Try to be always learning new skills, knowledge and techniques and always remain positive, there is a wealth of information available online and within your company .

How to be successful in network marketing is often just down to being consistent at.

• Retailing
• Sponsoring
• Teaching

However a significant ingredient to success is having the right attitude,

Legitimate Work at Home Jobs: How to Know Which Home Business Companies are Real and Which to Avoid!!

With all the scams lurking around the internet and masquerading as legitimate businesses, it can sometimes be a little nerve-wracking to feel comfortable with any online home-based business opportunity.  If you have had some negative experiences in the past with online jobs or home businesses, then you are probably wondering if there are actually any legitimate, work at home jobs out there?  Well, the truth is, they are out there!  But how can you find the real online jobs to make sure money online from home?

Be Diligent:

Because not everyone is willing to research a company before joining, there are many scams that are able to get away with their dishonest operations.  If you want to avoid a scam, you have to be willing to thoroughly research your prospective company and be diligent in your search.

For example, our business mentors spent about 20 weeks researching and interviewing the top 100 home business companies in order to find the Best one to team up with!  It's that kind of research and credibility that helps us to feel especially confident with our company!

Look before you Click!

Contact Information:

The Online Opportunity or Home Based Business that you are looking at should provide contact information such as a customer service phone number, email and physical address.  It should exist somewhere in real life.  If it appears that this information is being dodged or avoided on the company's homepage, take that as a red-flag.  When you have located the contact info, be sure to take advantage of that and speak to a real company representative to get a better feel for the company, mission-statement etc... 

Network and Reach Out to Other Member, Brand Partners,
Representatives or Affiliates to get the Bigger Picture!

Get in Touch with Current Members: 

Another smart thing to do to get a better feel for the company is to contact current current members of the company.  Ask them their honest opinion of the company, compensation plan etc.  Have they made money?  Are they happy with the customer service and training they have received?  Look for members or affiliates who have had at least a year or more with the company to get a better idea for the long-term expectancy.

Hyped-up Claims/Vague Explanations:

Something else to watch out for with a prospective opportunity, is the tendency to exaggerate claims for potential earnings or even make guarantees as to what you will make and how well you will do.  No company can ever know for sure how well you will do or how much money you will make, so please watch out for specific guarantees or extreme exaggerations of earnings! 

How to find the Best Online Opportunity:

Here's what WE looked for when searching for the BEST
Home Business Opportunity!

There are definitely some awesome, legitimate, work at home jobs that are available online.  So in your search for real online jobs to make sure money online you just have to be sure to take your time and do your homework.  Compare your top choices with each other.  Which company has the best compensation plan so you can make the most money?  Which company has the best training and mentoring program so that you can be sure to learn how to best build your business and market your website.  The company may tell you what to do but if they don't have a detailed back office training system to teach you exactly how to implement all of the best online marketing methods and home based business techniques, then the company is basically worthless and you'll be left lost as to what to do and how to get started!

Stop Reinventing the Wheel! How to Stick to a Proven System for True Home Business Success!

Stop Re-Inventing the Wheel!!

You know the old phrase:  "Say what they say and do what they do and you'll get what they get every time!"?  Well, there's a reason we say that!  It's because it Works!! There's no special tricks when it comes to having success with your home based business.  If you want to re-create what other successful home entrepreneurs are doing then you just need to simply do and say what they do.  Stop trying to re-invent the wheel.  I know it can be tempting to  want to try your own thing and feel like you're making it on your own steam but what's more important to you in the success of your business?  Your ego or your bank account?

When it comes to home business success the ultimate goal is to create simplicity and duplication through a system that anyone can come in and repeat over and over again!

My husband and I have been a part of the home business industry for many years now and had the privilege of learning from some of the best trainers in the industry as well as passing what we have learned to many who are hungry to learn and recreate our success as well.  What we have found is that most who take this seriously will do what we do and say what we say word for word and get incredible results but some will do this for literally only a few days or weeks and then try to move on to other trainers or systems or even try to develop their own 'systems' to run their business which if they are honest with themselves leaves them with little to no results.  You see, our mentor taught us that the thing about results is that they are often harsh but they are always fair!

You have to honestly take a step back and look at what you have been doing.  Evaluate every step.  As Bob Proctor puts it:

• "Eliminate what doesn't work. Ask yourself ...

1. What am I doing?
2. What works?
3. What doesn't work?

• Figure that out and put your time and energy into what is working for you." 

If it's working, keep it up.... but if it's not, you HAVE to make some changes!! Look to your mentors for help and suggestions... if you do what they do and say what they say every time, you'll get what they get... SIMPLE but you have to be HUMBLE, Listen and DO it!!

Go back to the reason you were originally attracted to the home business industry in the first place. If it was for time and financial freedom then stay plugged into the team and system that can help you continue with the results you are after.  Remember, the wheel wasn't broken before you got here, which is why you were attracted to the industry in the first place so why feel the need to fix it now?  The company was already successful before you got here so stick with what's already working.  But you have to work it to make it work!

Remember, this is all about Duplication and if YOU aren't getting results then we can't let anyone follow you and what you're doing.  You want your team to follow what is actually working.  

So Keep it SIMPLE:

Don't Turn it into a Science Project!  Keep it Simple, Use the Tools and Stay Plugged In to your team!

Don't get so busy creating overly complicated online marketing campaigns and getting caught up in all the training systems you can find that you never actually get into action mode.  One of the most sly traps that people get themselves into is feeling the need to watch every training video and know it all, or create a complex marketing funnel to bring leads through a series of hoops before they ever actually do anything or call anyone.  

Remember, this business is SIMPLE and this business is SOCIAL!  That's why we like to call it "Social Network Marketing".  Just talk to people, start conversations, build connections and relationships and allow business to flow and happen organically.  You shouldn't have to force it or agonize yourself.  And if you need help, then by all means utilize your mentors and team for support.  After all, that's what we're hear for.  To make it simple and fun!   When you make this all about helping others and meeting their needs, you'll take the pressure off yourself and feel a more meaningful sense of accomplishment as your start to help other people reach their goals and dreams in life!

• "You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want." Zig Ziglar

Next, here's a simple example of a successful way to build your business:

1. Invite: Make the Initial Contact
2. Send Info to Qualify and Establish Interest- via text invitation (phone app), phone call, email or facebook message  
3. Home Event, or Call with Mentor to show teamwork support
4. Follow-up/Invite to Join your team
5. Team Training Action Plan... then show them how to Duplicate!

And that's It!  Literally!  Don't turn it into a science project!  Stay Excited and Have fun with it!

You don't want to reinvent the wheel and change something that's already working and working so WELL!

Keep the majority of your daily action focused on bringing in new people because new people are the life of your business.  Do what you already know is working.  If what you've been doing in the past hasn't been getting results then you have to be honest with yourself and change some things, because results is what you're after, right?  Not just spinning your wheels and banging your head agains the wall!  Watch your mentors and leaders in business... what are THEY doing?  I can pretty much guarantee they are working their butts off every day, doing and saying and talking to MORE people every day!

"Entrepreneurs do today what others WON'T so they can have tomorrow what other's CAN'T!"

The path of success has already been laid out for you but it's up to you to follow it!  Keep it simple and be consistent and plug into a winning team and you'll be sure to reach your goals!

Be Your Own Boss! Why You Should Seriously Consider it Now More than Ever!

With the cost of living rising astronomically pretty much everywhere you look in the world, the idea of becoming financially free and independent has slowly become a dream that more and more people feel is slipping out of their fingers.... But is that true? 

Can you still find a way to become financially independent? Can you take matters into you own hands and become your own boss and turn this dream into a reality? The answer is Yes and here's why it makes so much more sense to take charge, be your own boss and own your own home business now more than ever!

Have you ever noticed that a person who works in a traditional office setting never seems to be able to truly gain financial freedom or independence? Why not? It is simply because his entire earning capacity is directly related to the amount of time that he or she spends at the office every day. Unfortunately, this can literally lead to an entire lifetime of being a complete slave to the hands of the clock!


Many people have been taught that working at an office five days a week, for eight hours a day is the only choice for earning a steady income. On the contrary, there are so many different opportunities out there for those who would like to branch out and find what it truly means to be their own boss and become financially free and independent!


Becoming financially independent means so much more than merely earning a good living every month. It means being given a real opportunity to achieve freedom and stability depending on your particular industry. Financial freedom is when a person can do anything at any time and yet still be able to earn an income. It means being able to be financially stable enough to dictate your time to work only when you feel the need to do so. When you work at an office and literally depend upon the clock and amount of hours worked to receive your income, you'll never be free to gain true financial independence. So other than the very slight chance of winning the lottery, the only legitimate way to become financially independent is to step away from your office and become your own boss!

Anyone who has drive and determination can be their own boss and start a profitable business at home. A person who owns a home business will have that once in a lifetime opportunity to reach financial freedom. But it is not an easy task, as some might think. It will take hard work and perseverance.


There are many home based businesses and opportunities to choose from online and all you will really need is the determination to be your own boss and really take charge of your own financial situation. You can choose to affiliate yourself with a successful Home Business Entrepreneur team and build your team and network online and/or from the comfort of your own home.


In conclusion, it is absolutely possible to become Financially Free and Independent and the best way to do that is by becoming your own boss by owning your own online home business. It isn't just a dream, it is truly achievable! Commit to doing what it takes and you will get there too! It's your choice. Make the choice Now to become Financially Free!

Don't Settle, Dream Big and Be Your Own Boss!

It's a decision that has made such a huge difference for our family and so many we love!
