Network Marketing, MLM Core Success Strategy

How do we overcome the often negative primary perception of the term “sales?” It can often be associated with manipulation or less than ethical practices often stemming from prior negative experiences. These experiences come about within the prospect by a feeling of having been taken advantage of by a sales representative that did not take the time to truly understand the wants of the prospect. In order to overcome this, we have to look to the overall approach and process we take the prospect through.Tip #1- Defeat any negative associations within you first. Be sure to see yourself as part of your prospect’s solution rather than another problem or obstacle they have to overcome. Have... read full article > >

Self-Love Skyrockets Self-Esteem, Part 1

When I first married, right before the ceremony, I said to myself: “this is either the best thing I’ve ever done or the worst.” I had so many drugs and hallucinogenics running through my blood stream, I couldn’t think clearly.Yet shortly after the marriage, a friend said to me, “You can only love another to the extent you love yourself. If you don't love yourself, you'll never be happy."I heard her words with my ears but my heart heard nothing. Her pearls of wisdom flew over my head, escaping into the ethers. They had no chance to sink in, my low self-esteem made sure of that. It took me more than twenty years to act... read full article > >

Negotiate Like a P.R.O.

Whether you're negotiating a peace settlement in a war-torn country or a peace settlement in an argument-ravaged relationship, strong preparation is the key to success.The following three steps will help you establish the three keys to your preparation - why you are involved in the negotiation, how you intend to conduct the negotiation, and what are the specific outcomes you are hoping to agree upon.1.

Being Safe is Risky

Until the early 80's, the traditional career approach was to go to college, get a degree and then find a secure job with a good company for twenty or thirty years. This was the safe approach. It's what the baby boomers learned from their parents who survived the Great Depression. Today, we are finding that that approach is no longer valid. The safe approach has become very risky. We live in faster, more turbulent times. If you are one of these "safe" individuals who are simply looking for benefits and a secure paycheck, you will probably find that you're one of the first people on the chopping block when large companies lay off. For you to succeed in the coming years, you've got to start by changing your paradigm. You... read full article > >

It is bad for your health, can cause heart disease and lung cancer, gives you bad breath, can cause cancer of the throat or mouth, can cause emphysema, accelerates the aging process and causes wrinkles, turns fingernails and teeth yellow, and can lead to a dangerously low birth weight in babies of smoking mothers.

For smokers, quitting is not just a matter of piling up the evidence against the habit. And in most cases willpower is not enough either. This is where most... read full article > >

Divination

A LOST WORLD OF SOULWhen you hear the word 'divination', chances are that certain images-- will spring to mind: dark gypsy fortune-tellers, tea-leaves, and crystal balls; a scene in a movie when the Ace of Spades falls in a card game or a strange figure draws the Tarot trump Death; charlatans, ouija boards, and phony swamis; or, perhaps, witch doctors and medicine men chanting around a fire. If you look a little deeper, you might see another kind of image lurking in the background: dark magicians in graveyards seeking forbidden knowledge, conjuring demons and the spirits of the dead.These images express attitudes - ridicule and fear - with a long history. For well over a thousand years, divination was a... read full article > >

Obstacles or Stepping Stones?

The road of life is not paved with gold. There are many set backs that can catch us off guard at times. These set backs can send us on a downward spiral of despair or they can lift us up and over the obstacles, depending upon how we choose to view them. How do you view your set backs? Are they obstacles or are they stepping stones? Someone once wisely said, “Obstacles are those ugly things that appear before us when we take our minds off of our goals.” If you don’t know which road you’re taking, you will never know if you have arrived. In life we must set goals in order for us to be successful. If we do not set... read full article > >
