Can you sleep while the wind blows?

Years ago, a farmer owned land along the Atlantic seacoast.
He constantly advertised for hired hands. Most people were reluctant to work on farms along the Atlantic. They dreaded the awful storms that raged across the Atlantic, wreaking havoc on the buildings and crops.
As the farmer interviewed applicants for the job, he received
Then one night the wind howled loudly in from offshore.
Jumping out of bed, the farmer grabbed a lantern and rushed next door to the hired hand's sleeping quarters. He shook the little man and yelled, "Get up! A storm is coming! Tie things down before they blow away!"
To his amazement, he discovered that all of the haystacks had been covered with tarpaulins. The cows were in the barn, the chickens were in the coops, and the doors were barred. The shutters were tightly secured. Everything was tied down.
When you're prepared, spiritually, mentally, and physically, you have nothing to fear. Can you sleep when the wind blows through your life?
The hired hand in the story was able to sleep because he had secured the farm against the storm.
I hope you enjoy your day and you sleep well.

Systems Are Duplicable, But People Are Not!

Most people want to be just like their sponsor or the "guru" of their company or their idle in the industry and they invariably fail! Too much importance is being placed on wanting to be just like someone else or doing things just like someone else is doing or did it when the actuality of it all is that they should be duplicating the system.
The system never fails and that is what you should focus on and ensure that it is a REAL DUPLICABLE SYSTEM! With a REAL DUPLICABLE SYSTEM you can become a professional pointer....pointing people to where they can find all the answers and help to succeed
You can not sit for hours and hours teaching people all their is to know but if the system is set up correctly you can alleviate this problem.
A big mistake most people make in this business is getting depressed when their down line doesn't duplicate their actions to the level they expect. FREE yourself from these emotions! It is NOT your fault! You can only guide, mentor and coach people that want to learn. Through guidance and coaching and mentoring you send them to the places where they can find most of the answers......Now it is up to them to find the answers. I am not telling you to leave them in the cold. All I am saying is that you can not baby sit them and teach them everything and you most definitely can not build their business for them.
So understand clearly that - NETWORK MARKETING IS A BUSINESS BUILT ON DUPLICATION, BUT YOU ARE NOT DUPLICABLE! Ensure that you have a duplicable system where you can point people in the right direction. A system where people work together for the greater good of everyone so that all can have success. I have found such a system with all the criteria required to help you succeed in your Network Marketing business.
Instructions for Network Marketing
Why?........Well because people try and sell you their opportunity around every corner, doesn't that just irritate you. Then once they have you on board.....well all the promises they made you flies out the window.
Watch the short video on what I call - "Instructions for Network Marketing".
Enjoy!

The Bad Economy and Home Business Opportunities

It is always a case that when the economy presents financial challenges - more people look to supplement their income by starting their own home based business! Even Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki recommend it and they particularly recommend Direct Sales MLM opportunities or Network Marketing. It cost much less to set up a home based business than a traditional business and that is why it is such a popular way to start a business. It also is a fast way to generate additional income.
Although Network Marketing is so popular very few people really know what to look out for before joining a company. People get sucked into the hype that gets created about the vast amounts of money that they will be earning. The people selling the opportunity reads from a well formulated scrip that does not give you the truth just enough information to get you jumping head first into something that is just going to take your hard earned money!
It is only once you have joined and paid your $500.00 or what ever there initial amount is that you then hear of additional costs. Some want you to have a merchant account, and then they want you to pay for a website and so on and so on........... When you sit and start adding it up, now you are paying much more than initially told. Instead of realizing that they have not been giving you the truth you just do as told because......hey......they told you that you were going to make money. Then you buy the leads they tell you to buy or the flyer's they tell you to distribute or the books for self development or....or....or....and you just keep spending money. It is only 2-4 months later after spending lots of $ that you realize that maybe......just maybe you have been sold a Dud! But you question yourself and think......."Can't be because my up line is making money"! WRONG.....experience shows that most of them proclaiming to be making $ are just faking it until they make it because that is what their up line is doing. You see, when people are struggling, there are others who will prey on the desperate situations caused by the economy and what you think is going to create the additional income is actually what is going to hurt you even more financially!
More and more people are , or will be looking for ways to supplement their income. Looking for a home business opportunity. Cheap gas is a thing of the past, unemployment is increasing, mortgage foreclosures are sky rocketing and people need extra cash.
This is the time to educate yourself to ensure that you understand all the elements in Network Marketing so that you can have the success you deserve. You need to be able to understand compensation plans! This is so crucial for you to achieve success. You need to have a duplicatable system that all your down line can plug into. You need to be part of a 5 pillar company.......I can't stress this enough......YOU NEED TO BE PART OF A 5 PILLAR COMPANY! You don't want to be part of a company that wants you to have a merchant account! You don't want to be part of a company that wants you to buy leads! I can carry on and on of what you need and what you don't need to succeed in Network Marketing.
SO......moral of the story.....EDUCATE YOURSELF!
How and where can you do that?
Well you need to find a group of people that will do this for you without any agenda and without you having to pay a cent for it. I REPEAT MYSELF.........PEOPLE WITHOUT AN AGENDA AND WHERE YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY A CENT TO GET THE EDUCATION!
Are you ready to succeed? Then learn the right skills! Don't just do what you get told, educate yourself!
