It is time for action

Posted on November 17, 2011 by Articles

Simply finding what you want is not enough. It is important that you back it up with action.

Only you is able to make that decision and do it, you must use self reliance. If you aspire to a successful life, you have to make it happen by taking actions these life tips should improve your life.

Forget about making excuses and make the final decision to commit yourself to make real actions. Just like anyone, even the most successful entrepreneurs find themselves caught in challenging obstacles. What makes them successful? Their ability to never give up.

Whining about your lack of luck or blaming others for your unsuccessful life will take you nowhere.

As soon as you recognize that there is no use in complaining, you are on your way to the life of your dream. You finally recognize that you are the only person responsible for your own success. Never forget that whenever you fall you should stand up again and keep going, you only fail when you decide to give up.

Claim your life back and take actions right now.

The majority of people don’t believe in themselves and live average lives. Forget about your limiting beliefs and go beyond them to make a significant change in your life. Set your limiting beliefs aside for a minute and create a real change in your life.

In order to have successful lives all of us must go beyond our fears. It doesn’t matter if you are afraid, do it anyway. The first time is the hardest, once you face your fears, you will start getting much more confident and realize that it was all in your head.

Thinking Games – A Brief Primer

Posted on November 16, 2011 by Articles

Nothing helps warm up the old noggin better than an old-fashioned thinking game. These games require no computer or console to play them, and can easily tune up your brain and keep it running smoothly. Constant and consistent playing of these games foster creativity, and introduce a brand new way of problem solving that could reap benefits in your daily existence.

Thinking Games For More Than One Person

Group thinking games are especially good for long trips in a car. Have somebody in the car point out an object, any object, while looking out the window. Give the other passengers a chance to guess different ways they can take the object and make it into a cash cow. The possibilities are limitless – your average street sign could become a virtual advertisement, trees become “Brand X”, “Brand Y” or whatnot, while you could turn a dumptruck into a mobile supermarket of sorts!

A neat problem-solving game you can try any time, anywhere would be the “change of perspective” quiz. Just pick any topic, and see who can come up with the most unique new perspective. For example, is it possible to live in a world without employment? Could a virus, if imbued with human qualities, make a better president or world leader than so-and-so?

It is infinitely more challenging to play the creative thinking game of “concept combination” than choosing which pitchers and batters to start in your office fantasy baseball league. You simply combine random concepts or things in interesting ways, and see who has the best idea. A “microchair” perhaps, meaning a chair with a microwave? Maybe an easy-chair with a built-in cooler, microwave and television, or microwavable “couch potatoes” – a potato snack in the shape of a couch.

More Thinking Games

One lateral thinking puzzle you can do solitaire involves nine dots in three by three layers. Connect them all with four straight lines, without lifting the pen or pencil from the paper. And they said the phrase “thinking outside of the box” was just another one of those overused buzzwords.

Many lateral-thinking puzzles use a scenario, real or imagined, with a selection of things you have to use to accomplish something. For example, think of a ping-pong ball nestled inside an iron pipe bolted down with cement. The pipe has the same diameter as the ball, or not quite, and sticks three feet upwards. Now it’s time to be your own personal Macgyver – how do you retrieve the ball from the pipe with just you, your God-given brains, the t-shirt on your back and a fun-size box of cereal? This scenario can actually be done in real life, so why not try looking for possible solutions?

At the surface, jokes can be a form of amusement, but in reality they are lateral-thinking puzzles in a clever disguise. Though you are throwing your serious side out the window, you are also moving your mind laterally to come up with an answer. Here’s one of my favorites – what did Mrs. Cannibal feed Mr. Cannibal when he came home late for dinner? They gave him the cold shoulder, of course! You don’t always have to research earnestly and seriously to maintain your brain. Why not play some thinking games?

Network Marketing: Kim Kardashian, Commitment, and You

Posted on November 12, 2011 by Pamela Schott

How committed are you to building a successful network marketing business?

Recently, news broke that Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from Kris Humphries after just 72 days of marriage.

I\’m not in the Kim Kardashian inner circle, so I only know information her branding machine spins for the public.

But the Kardashian/Humphries divorce does afford us a good opportunity to talk about commitment. Now, if you\’ve spent any time around network marketing business at all, you\’ve no doubt heard that on average, 97 percent of network marketing business companies go under within the first 90 days.

Now, if you\’ve got a good upline helping you out in the early days, they will encourage you to take some sort of action consistently for the first three months that you are in business – and make sure that you do it.

It\’s not easy.

But it does take, on average, three months of consistent effort for a network marketing business company to gain traction, which is why your good mentors will keep on you in the beginning.

The Kardashian-Humphries marriage/divorce raises another question that parallels nicely with the business of building a business, and it has to do with motivation.

My mentor, Rob Fore, often speaks about having a big enough \”why\” before you start your own network marketing business business.

I think he stresses this because a big \”why\” will help see you through the roller coaster ride that is network marketing business.

Here are just a few of the reasons why people go into network marketing business:

They seek greater financial freedom

They want more control over how they spend their time

They appreciate the huge potential to make money online

They are struggling to pay their bills, are facing foreclosure, or can\’t find a job

among many others.

You might find your \”why\” for network marketing business in that list. Then again, your reasons may be completely different.

That\’s not the point.

Obviously, what motivates one person is different for the next guy.

What does matter is that the \”why\” be big enough for you. After all, when you decide to become a network marketing business professional, you\’re the only one you ultimately have to answer to.

But it does help to surround yourself with a support system of other network marketing business pros and a strong and generous upline.

Because sometimes? No matter what your reasons, if you don\’t have others around to support, encourage, and challenge you, there\’s a good chance that you won\’t make it.

Because network marketing is, at its very nature, all about your network. If you don\’t have a network, you don\’t have a company.

I hope good things come out of Kim and Kris\’ relationship.

I also hope that their (very public) coming together and breaking apart will serve to not trivialize the role of commitment in our lives, but instead reinforce just how important it is to enter into a commitment for all the right reasons, with a big enough why to sustain you, and a community of supporters behind you.

Just how committed are you to building a strong and successful network marketing business business? And why? Do you have a solid support team behind you to help you stick to that commitment, no matter what?

We\’re looking to grow our team of network marketing business leaders and invite you to check out our opportunity and see if it\’s a good fit. If you could benefit from our years of expertise, leading-edge training, and commitment to our team, give us a call or leave a note, and let\’s get started.
