My Free MLM Help

One of my friends left me a lovely message in response to a post I wrote.  “Laurie, you must read a lot or really have a grip on life…”

Yes, I do read.  At any given time I could pick up the Bible, or a beloved Morning Affirmations excerpt; text written on the abundance available to all or delve into my spiritual being.  Then I may read a few chapters on life and success strategies.  I read to examine myself, to find within what I’ve forgotten.

I’ve always loved to read yet confess my literary bent was always in fiction.  I lived and read about others imaginative characters and lives.

Ah, the adage of age, circumstance and where I am in life comes blazing to the front of my thoughts – My discontent led me to pick up books written by those who have done what I now dream.

To me, it’ all part of my critical thinking to ask what’s next, what  more is there, what else.

I now desire to awaken from the hypnotic stupor I unknowingly allowed myself to be entrapped.  The social norm, the status quo no longer is acceptable.

I read from those who’ve awakened themselves and now pave the way to my enlightenment.  A dear friend of mine spoke of this journey recently at a gathering of other like minded souls.  She attributed her success to being a “world class follower.” I wholeheartedly agree since I began my journey of growth.  The very leaders I admire have broken down the barriers and I can follow them through the opening.

It doesn’t matter if my attempts at first seem clumsy and awkward; after all it took years of indifference to get me here.  I get impatient and anxious at times with myself when I fall back into old habits.  Nonetheless, I’m moving forward, shedding the weight and layers of conditioned thoughts and coming up with a few new thoughts of my own.

I hope all of You reading this find Your leaders to follow until the day comes when You turn around and realize others are now following You.   Life is like an echo, what one person sends out to the world echoes in the heart and mind of another then comes back enriched to the giver.

My girlfriend answered a call while we were driving home from Christmas shopping, which isn’t rude since we’re friends and it is the Holiday Season to be gracious.

I politely looked out the window and the dark scenery flying past us and gave a conscious prayer up that her competency in driving extended to multi-tasking.  Naturally, I tried not to eaves drop on her conversation but it was a bit difficult in such close proximity.

Then I felt myself cringe - an automatic response it seems when I heard her comment on how 2009 “sucked” and good riddance to the year.

Immediately I thought of the 12 months, or 52 weeks, or 365 days,  and worse, the  8,760  hours,  525,600 minutes, 31,536,000 seconds in 2009, and really wondered about her statement that every moment gifted to her in 2009 sucked?

Out of work, my friends creative energy prevailed and she produced the most glorious of vegetable and flower gardens, turned her yard into a quaint and charming escape with benches and ornamental surprises throughout.  She “garbage picked” and refinished beautiful end tables and wood chairs and benches that led to others searching her out to refinish their treasures.

She unearthed her stored photos and wall décor and converted her basement room into a comfortable living room adding to her “living and entertaining” space.

She rallied and supervised several “emergency” events providing generous amounts of her time and her culinary expertise easing her friends and families hardships.

Working in the Medical field, she was and still is constantly called upon by friends for advise and care of any and all injuries and ailments’ and personally sees through with her advice and expertise (even my daughter privately benefited from her I found out later with concerns she had).

I know  for a fact that whether we are on the phone or visiting in person, there has been laughter along with tears, stress, and worry.  We’ve shared in each others triumphs as well as our disappointments and expectations; picked each other up when necessary, encouraged and supported each other the entire year.

2009 sucked?  I beg to differ.  Perhaps we haven’t met our goals, don’t feel any closer to accomplishing our dreams, haven’t added to our financial security as we vision;  yet if I take a look back at the year I have grown.

Wittingly or unwittingly, consciously or unconsciously there has been growth, there has been success and forward movement.  I’ve obtained knowledge I didn’t have before; met new people who have become friends or are on the way to becoming my friend; kicking and screaming sometimes, I’ve elevated my thoughts and opinion of myself from mediocre to someone who matters, who is unique and one of a kind - JUST AS ALL OF US ARE.

Even in failure I’ve learned.

My accomplishments or lack of accomplishing doesn’t define me, rather I look to what I’ve learned about myself, my weaknesses and strengths, what I’ve discovered to be important and what I used to believe was important turns out to be insignificant really.

To Be Continued…feel free to take a look back at your 2009 moments while I continue to pour out my next thoughts!

Pardon me while I take a break from the
Five Pillars for Success. Time for a little
critical thinking. I’m not trying to stir up
debate, just to open Your mind. This a long one,
so please bear with me…

Dogmatic vs. Critical Thinking

Lies, Myths, Money and Power

…and The Four Pillars of Deceit

Tom “Big Al” Schreiter taught me Decisions are made by
the Subconscious Mind, although we’d like to think our
Conscious Minds are in control. He also taught me how
to employ this knowledge to influence the Subconscious
Minds of others directly.

Unfortunately Tom is not the only master manipulator of
the Subconscious. There are many today and there have
been legions of them throughout human history.

I believe Napoleon Hill teaches us in “Think and Grow
Rich” how to break the bonds of manipulation and take
Conscious control over our thoughts.

First we need to understand something about Truth.
TRUTH resonates deeply within us and we recognize it
when we encounter it.

A quick tip shared by Susan Hanshaw to raise Your vibration is when someone asks You
“how are You?” notice your response.  Do You typically answer “fine”, “ok”, “hanging in there”?  Or do You respond with a resounding “Awesome”, “Fantastic”, “Fabulous”?

When You notice the way You answer this simple question it can tell You a lot about where Your vibration or energy levels are, and in turn what You are creating and attracting!

Check it out.  Just say, “I’m fine.”

What’s Your energy feel like? How  does that make You feel inside emotionally, spiritually?  Do You get an uplifed and excited feeling or do You just feel fine?

Ok,  now try saying to Yourself,  “I am AWESOME!” Say it with FEELING and conviction. (Stand in front of a mirror and SEE Yourself expressing that higher vibration - nobody will know!)

How do You feel now?

Be honest, do You feel the same as Your previous response or has Your energy increased?

The entire Universe and everything in the universe is Energy, including the feeling behind the words we choose to think and speak.  The words You use have meaning to You.

In critically thinking would it be in Your best interest to be aware of what Your projecting and attracting?

The next time someone asks You “How are you?”  What are You going to say?

Staying in the “positive” means aligning Yourself with Positive people.  If Your struggling or a bit frustrated and not attracting abundance in Your life and business, make a Critical Choice for Change.  You can start with our Free Ebook, Success in 10 Steps; download it today and see if Your Vibration doesn’t positivly change!

Have an AMAZING DAY!

I read an interesting blog by Susan Hanshaw I want to share about Raising Your Vibration to Attract What You Want

To simplify, Your vibration is Your Energy, and I think we all know our energy levels fluctuate on a daily basis.  I’m not referring to the physical here, it’s the emotional and spiritual Vibration I’m addressing.

I’ve often noticed a smile begets a smile (mostly, or I see shock on a person’s face that someone actually noticed them and smiled a greeting of hello).

The other night I came home from work and brought my “high” vibration with me.  Together my daughter and husband and I made dinner, had a light, uplifting conversation, teasing each other about our day.  I noticed I was doing a bit of a jig when cleaning up the dishes and entertaining my family with little quips.  Although my daughter was rolling her eyes at me she was laughing and so was my husband.

I noticed I didn’t get the usual grumbling about a hard days work from my husband or the “I’m fine” polite conversation of “pass the condiments please.”

My Energy was attracting and lifting my families vibration!

The point is I’m raising my energy level or Vibration and staying within the positive emotions that in turn attract more of what I’m putting out there.

I’ve been on a bit of a sabbatical lately mainly due to a simple question that penetrated deep to my very being.  What do I want?  What do I vision?

Simple, right?  Little did I know I’d sit back, take stock of my life as it is now and find this so difficult to answer!

What do I want?

For starters, I want freedom, of course, doesn‘t  everyone?  I want freedom from debt, stress, preconceived notions of who I should be; freedom to be with my family and be there as they discover their own true selves; freedom to choose how I live, where I live, what I do with the time afforded me on this earth.  Freedom to live to my highest potential, to unleash the person within and contribute meaning, service and hope to whomever I meet.

Well, heck, I reside in the land of liberty, so what is stopping me?  And, what does this have to do with being a critical thinker?

Everything, I’m discovering.

I’ve started and stopped myself many times on this particular journey.  Intellectually, I “get” everything I’ve been reading on personal development, focus, goal setting, desires, organized time;  it’s getting what I know from my head to my heart that’s giving me a bit of trouble.

Decisions, or choices are made every single day. I decide or choose to get up and out of bed, ahh, my first choice of the day.  I can then choose to dress, not dress, eat, not eat, go to work, not go to work, and so on.  Simple, everyday decisions that have a huge impact on my life as well as those in my life.

A Dream, Desire, or goal shouldn’t be a burden; rather it should motivate me into some type of action everyday.  It shouldn’t paralyze me into in-activity!  Is it residual from past experiences?  Have I allowed my vision to become a burden instead of a desire?

Set backs, resistance, support issues or approval all can dampen even the most enthusiastic of intentions.  It’s Your choice to allow Yourself to be influenced by them.

Today, I’ve decided it’s Easier Done than Said; I’m making one choice, one decision of action today towards my goal rather than gulping down the entire dream.

It is a Critical Choice to do something rather than sit back and let Your Dreams slip away.

I shared this with my dear friends and Mentors this morning.    “I think I just got “IT” when you say, “Your Perfect Just The Way You Are…”

I always looked at that statement to mean anybody can “play this game” no matter Your background, education and such; but I didn’t take it further - I don’t think I took that from my head into my heart.

My kids were watching an older movie, “Dodge Ball”, with Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller; a bunch of misfits from a run down gym gathered together as a team to compete for the National Dodge Ball championship - the prize money to save the gym.  The usual slap stick, funny in parts, brilliant really when I stepped outside of the humor and saw simple people with their “fears” and “lack” super exposed in a comedic way.

The “leader” is riddled with his own “fears,”  and accepts the flaws and weaknesses in each individual.   While they come together as a team to practice and play the game,  their strengths emerge one by one.  Their weaknesses take a backseat.  Each member on the team draws upon an inner character strength when he or she was ready.  At the end of the movie, Vince Vaughn has his gym and walks across the screen saying,

“Hi. I’m Peter so n’ so, owner and operator of Average Joe’s Gym.  I’m here to tell You, You’re perfect just the way you are.  But if You feel like losin’ a few pounds, gettin’ healthier, and makin’ friends in the process, Joe’s is the place for You…”

I’m perfect right now, today with all my faults and flaws and weaknesses because at the same time my strengths are emerging in my own time.

I’m an Average Joe with a dream.

My plan?

I’ve aligned myself with a team of like-minded people all desiring what I desire; people who have successfully achieved their dreams!  Mentoring For Free led me to my mentor, who in turn is leading me away from wallowing in weakness, my frustration with lack, and helping me grow in strength, confidence, and self-assurance right into my burning desire.

I’m perfect just the way I am and am ok with failing forward.   I don’t want to “dodge the ball” anymore or take a hit and sit on the sidelines.   I want to catch that ball and run with it. I have the team and the tools I need to Succeed; as an added bonus I’ve received friendship, guidance, understanding, patience and belief until I could believe in myself.

My Team gave me TIME to understand I’m right where I should be.  Today with their help I’m strategically re-formulating my plan to achieve my “Why.”

If you want to get into this Game, download our free ebook, and don’t worry  – “You Are Perfect Just The Way You Are” to grow into anyone You want to be.

So are You on System overload?  Do You have a system that goes, “blah blah blah” course after course, manual after manual, theory after theory?  Do You have so much information thrown at You Your mind is like scrambled eggs on a griddle?

Have You figured out yet that maybe the system Your using doesn’t meet Your style of learning?

There are two types of people in Network Marketing.  The first group is those that have figured out they need a system in place that can first provide ongoing education and skills training and secondly help them duplicate their mentor’s success.

The second group is those suffering for Network System Overload and haven’t figured out they need to be in the first group to achieve any sort of consistent success.

Since both groups are interested in creating a business that provides financial freedom to enjoy life, with a few other personal desires sprinkled in the scenario, what advantage do some have in accomplishing their goals and heart’s desire?

They found a system that works with their learning style allowing them to truly duplicate on-going success.

Not everyone learns in the same manner.

Some of us are auditory learners, some visual and some “hands on” or kinesthetic.  Add the fact that individually we have different strengths, abilities, and weaknesses, it stands to reason  You need a system in place that complements Your style of learning.  A system that enables YOU to successfully learn and participate in Your choice of business.

If a system only offers knowledge and a theory of business practices in written dialogue, a visual learner may excel in understanding and putting this knowledge to use, but the auditory and “hands on” learner will have difficulties.  If a systems only offering implies getting into action by a “watch me and do what I do,” plan, the visual and/or the auditory learner will go nuts trying to implement action before education!

For real success Your system must provide You with all the tools to meet Your individual needs, whether its audibly, visually or kinesthetic.  You need a system that compliments not only Your style but offers Leadership and coaching geared to Your strengths.  This System needs to provide personal development, practical business techniques, and knowledge of how to build a successful business by offering on-going and up to date skills training, and effective methods for lead generation.  Most of all Your system must be able to duplicate so You, in turn, can teach others!

There are some people who have found a system that meets these criteria encompassing all they need and allowing them to consistently build a successful network marketing business.

If You want to grow Your business, be an effective presenter and lead others ask Yourself this:  Would it be ok if You had a duplicatable system geared to Your Style of Learning?  A system in place that provided ongoing education, hands on skills training, personal growth to develop Your leadership skills, and a host of professional network marketers available to mentor You every step of the way through Your business?

If you’d like more info on a truly viable and successful system offered for Free, start with our Free Ebook, Success in 10 Steps and start learning Your way to Success.

This is what I learned from the last time I read Chapter 1 of “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill.

I shared this with my Mastermind Group at Mentoring For Free, the publisher of “Success in 10 Steps” by Michael Dlouhy.

Chapter 1
Thoughts Are Things

They truly are things. I’ve seen the effect they have
on water. I’ve seen the effect my thoughts have in
influencing other people. I’ve felt the effect of
others’ thoughts on me.

Every word, action, or thing I’ve created began with
thoughts.

Thought habits. I find myself guilty of the habit of
thinking in terms of finite resources - assuming things
will perpetually be as they are now.

This comes from paycheck mentality. All the years I
spent as someone’s employee taught me to plan and
budget according to the limits of my paycheck.

When I owned a business I thought in terms of
increasing my revenue by expanding my market. I prefer
the habit of thinking THIS way.

These two modes of thought battle within my head, like
piloting a boat between two opposing currents.

I know it is an ongoing process to always make course
corrections to veer into the flow of abundance and
prosperity.

Am I three feet from gold? Or two feet? Or maybe five?
Or ten? Or even twenty?

Doesn’t matter. I’m not stopping until I reach the
gold!

And once I reach the gold, I won’t stop digging as long
as I have the power to dig.

Heck, maybe I’ve already reached the gold! Did I ever
consider that?

The power of Henry Ford’s thought probably drove his
engineers nuts. Ford refused to accept what they
insisted - that an 8-cylinder engine cast in ONE block
was not possible.

His dogged determination eventually forced SOMEONE to
think outside the box:

“Why do pistons HAVE to go straight up and down? Why
couldn’t they just angle toward each other in a “V”
formation? THEN we could have TWO rows of pistons
turning the SAME SHAFT!”

…And the V-8 engine became REALITY!

Thank You Michael, Linda and my Mastermind Team for
Your navigation assistance and for expanding my
thinking beyond the box.

See You at the gold mine!

Your Friend and Servant,
Ken Klemm
