If you take a look at some of the most successful people in this world and study them you will see that they have a couple of things in common.  They all have a vision and have the ability to get others to see a vision of what can be.

Some people call this vision a WHY.

Do you have a why or are you just going about life endlessly wondering. When I say wondering, I don’t mean that you wonder from here to there and back again but do you have a reason to get up in the morning, do you have a reason to better your life and those you care for.

A person’s WHY could be considered his or her goals, what do you want to achieve in life, where do you want to be tomorrow. What do you want for your family.

Your WHY will give you a reason to work hard, fail and try again and then fail and try again until you get it right.

Your WHY will change over time and that is OK.

So If you don’t have a WHY now that is OK, its not to late, it is never to late to find your WHY.  You just have to dare to dream, and dream big, until you can see it, taste it and smell it.

So go find you WHY.

Many people hear the word network marketing and the first thing they think of is having to sell their friend something they don’t really want.

If that is your concept of network marketing then you have been taught wrong or not at all.

Network Marketing is about building relationships of trust with people it is NOT about selling a product or business opportunity.

Once you have a relationship of trust built, then and only then can you introduce them to a product, business opportunity or whatever else it may be for that matter.

Because you have taken the time to build a relationship of trust, they will be more inclined to listen to what you have a say.

So go out and build relationships and watch your business grow.

I just finished a great little book, about a 45 minute read, about selling and life challenges. There are basically 4 steps, they are:

1. A Purpose – you must have a PURPOSE for what you are selling and that purpose must be spelled out in your head or written down.
2. A Desire – you have to have an overwhelming DESIRE.  a desire that is express in what you do, so much so others and see it and feel it.
3. A Plan – You must sit down and put a PLAN together, I needs to be written, and include all of the what ifs.  The plan you will use to keep you on track. As so many business owners know it is to ease to get side tracked.
4. Hard Work – Everything in life that is worth accomplishing takes HARD WORK and dedication. Success doesn’t come over night.
5. I know, I said there was only 4 steps but there is a 5 step and that is to SHARE THE ABUNDANCE some people call is Paying It Forward.  This is often time one of hardest parts of being successful and that is sharing what you have gained to make the life of someone else better.  I don’t meaning sharing your wealth but sharing your knowledge and the lessons you have learned.

The book was written by Kevin Allen, who has been in the direct sells business for over 20 years.  He has been a trouble shooter for direct sales companies, he has built direct sales companies, and with every company he has been involved with he has won top honors for his efforts.

Kevin doesn’t just write about these principals, but he lives by these principals.  Kevin has joined up one last time with a company to build it and make others successful along the way, check out the company here.

Here is an excerpt from a post by Randy Gage I think is apropo today. You can read the entire post here.

To stay broke in today’s economy, you have to:

1.    Turn down the opportunity to join a network marketing business;
2.    Join a network marketing business, but refuse to take the actions that create success;
3.    Believe you have no knowledge, skills, or experience people would pay you for in an information entrepreneur business;
4.    Become an information entrepreneur, but price your products and services so low that you don’t make money.
5.    Refuse to stop relying on a job and go into business for yourself;
6. Not be willing to learn how to prosper in the current real estate market;
7. Not be willing to learn how to prosper in the current mortgage market; or,
8. All of the above. Read the rest of this entry »

In building a business one of the things you need is a team. Not just any old team but a team that works together in unison and harmony.  That doesn’t always happen with ease but takes hard work and commitment on the part of all players.

Usually a team is put together buy one person who wants to excell at something.  They may go through a lot of team members before they end up with a campionship team.  It is your job as a that team builder to find the right people that will make everyone on the team winners.

Are you a team player?  Take a look below and determine if you are a team player.

This morning I received an email from Brian Tracy and I quote from him, “The future belongs to the risk takers, not the security seekers.  Life is perverse in the sense that the more you seek security, the less of it you have. But the more you seek opportunity, the more likely it is that you will achieve the security that you desire.”

This is so true, you look at the really successful people in this world like the Richard Branson, and they are risk takers.  But in taking risk the don’t through caution to the wind, almost every move they make has been thought out and planned.  That doesn’t mean that every they do is success, but it means they have taken precautions to protect what they have and if they fail, it is a learning experience and they go on.

Here is a great video to show you what I mean:

If you look Steph Davis is doing what only some people dream of doing, but she doesn’t through caution to the wide. She had the proper and necessary safe equipment and she has taken the time to learn.  You as a business builder need to do the same.

The below is so key in building a business that I just had to post it here.  I took it from a Seth Godin post at his blog.

“Consistent as in not stopping to say, “my turn.” Persistent as in long-lasting, not as in annoyingly over the top. And with permission, because interacting without delivering anticipated, personal and relevant messages is a waste at best, annoying at worst.”
