    <><><>

    Life Is not the amount of breaths you take, it’s the
    moments in your life that take your breath away.

    <><><>

    Chapter 1

    Thoughts Become Things

    It’s amazing that as I read through this chapter, my
    mind brings to life so many memories. Many of failure
    and some of success.

    It would be so easy for me to write about how my life
    has been impacted by so many of the principles that
    are talked about in this chapter alone. However for
    the sake of time and to keep this lesson short, I
    will focus on two words.

    Faith and Fear

    When reading the part about the small colored child
    who went in and demanded fifty cents from Mr. Darby’s
    Uncle and refused to take no for an answer. It brought
    to mind how I met my wife.

    Here was a small child who stood with faith and
    determination,stepped into fear to get what she wanted.

    For me, after failing in two other relationships I just
    about had given up. I was so afraid of what the next
    relationship would bring. So fearful of what could
    happen that my mind was stay focused on all the past
    hurt and pain that I went through.

    Finally I stopped focusing my energy on the negative
    and started creating positive thoughts of what my ideal
    relationship would be like. What I was willing to give
    to the relationship and what I wanted in return.

    I focused so much on it that I even started focusing
    on the very person that I wanted to be with.

    Here’s the kicker. At this point in my life I had never
    been in a social gathering with her, Sure I knew Amanda
    from a seminar that I attended, but that was it.

    Then through a series of unusual events we started
    seeing more and more of one another through mutual
    friends. Boy did I have a crush on her.

    Finally, Sue,  a friend of ours called me up and asked
    me when I was going to tell Amanda how I was feeling.

    Boy did it hit me then. FEAR. So much so that I was
    sick to my stomach. At the same time there was about a
    thousand volts of excitement coursing through my body.

    I will always remember what our friend Sue said to me
    on that call.

    What you are feeling right now is what it feels like to
    really risk in your life. What it means to step outside
    your comfort zone.

    So you have one of two choices turn and run from it, or
    step into it.

    Just like the little colored girl.

    I decided to step into the fear that day. To take a
    risk. Maybe the words were not perfect when I called
    Amanda and maybe she could here the quivering in my
    voice. But none of that mattered.

    I stood in that fear, determined to say what I needed
    to say and have faith enough that what was suppose to
    happen would happen.

    Faith and Fear at times go hand in hand. Many times
    that fear is just the nudge of success setting in or
    letting you know that you are getting close.

    Well just like the little colored girl who walked out
    with her fifty cents. That phone call to Amanda led to
    our first date and eventually marriage.

    Thoughts really do become things and everything that I
    ever imagine and wished our marriage would be, has been
    eclipsed by even greater outcomes.

    Amazing what a little faith brings.

    Live Limitless,

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    The first time I was on the Mental Cleanse, I became
    aware of all the negative influence that was in my life.

    As I shut off the TV, radio, stopped being around
    negative people, I really began to realize how much
    my surroundings affect my thoughts. Then I met, I mean
    really met my worst enemy, ME. Now this was harder to
    shut down. A TV or a radio simply has a switch.

    So I began to do my self talk throughout the day as
    well as a daily ritual of meditation and things are
    really starting to click in my blue brain.

    I had a breakthrough in those first 90 days about my
    fear of poverty. But what I realize now is that it
    wasn’t so much the fear, but the thoughts that I had
    that manifested the fear. Here is what I mean.

    I would think about what things would be like when I
    was financially free. Because thoughts are things,
    right? So I would think, When I am financially free,
    then I will really be happy.

    So it is almost as if I was saying to myself, I can’t
    be happy now if I am not financially free. So I am
    realizing that I had it all backwords.  You need to
    first be happy. Smile. Feel wonderful. Be blessed.
    Thank God for your blessings.

    Now in this happy state that I am in, I am in a
    vibrational place where I am sending out thoughts
    of expectancy. I know it is coming but in Gods time,
    not mine.

    The universe will give me what I think about. So now
    I choose to be happy and blessed. I choose to expect
    abundance. And abundance I receive.

    It’s funny how we send vibrations out to the universe.
    As if the universe wanted to give me proof…

    I came across a book at the library by Deepack Chopra.
    I turned to a random page and he was talking about what
    we all really want is the same thing… to be happy.

    When you have a conversation with yourself and ask
    the question, what do I want? Answer that question
    and then ask  yourself why? Then answer that question
    and then again ask why. You will always come to the
    same answer. “Because I want to be happy.”

    It works like this…

    “I want to be Rich.”

    Why?

    Because, I want to not have to worry about bills.

    Why?

    Because I will live longer and not feel stressed.

    Why?

    Because I want to be here to see my grandkids.

    Why?

    Because I want to enjoy them and my kids. I want to
    live my life. I want to be happy.

    You see it isn’t about being Rich. What I really want
    is to be Happy!

    We all want the same thing and we will all come to
    the same answer when asking the question, Why.

    Why not be happy now? Live as if I am already rich?

    Because, you know I am. I am Rich. I am blessed. Live
    an abundant life. The universe will only see me as rich
    and prosperous and it will have no choice but to send
    me what is expected.

    I think, Michael, This is what you call owning your
    life.

    I appreciate you.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Chapter One,
    I really connected with chapter one when hill mentioned
    that opportunity presented itself in failure. Its what
    we do with failure that makes us great.

    Back when I started my venture I was with a company that
    I thought was great. My upline supported and encourged
    buying leads. If that is what my upline did to go from
    0 to $100,000 per month, then I will start. $600 later
    I sponsored one lady that lived in Florida? She was so
    excited, I could not bring myself to tell her to go and
    buy leads.

    So I told her the truth and I moved on.Opportunity
    presents itself in strange ways. Hill states that
    before success comes we are sure to be met with
    temporary defeat. That could have been mine.

    I have a good job, a beautiful family, a nice home.
    My mother lives next door to me. I am blessed in so
    many ways and now take the time to be thankful every
    day for these things.

    I tell you this not to brag but to explain my “Why”
    as it relates to chapter 1.

    All I every wanted to do is work. I could not wait to
    turn 16 so I could start working. By the time I was 17
    I did not care about school anymore, as a matter of fact
    I was skipping so much that I began to fail classes.

    Everyday in the afternoon I could not wait to go to
    work? I failed a grade but continued to work…chasing
    that dollar and trading time for it. When I was 18 all
    of my friends were getting ready to graduate so I
    decided to join the Army.

    Well the recruiter told me that I needed to get my high
    school diploma. Well I did not want to wait another year.
    He told me about a program in Chapel Hill that I could
    get my GED from in a couple of months.

    I got the address and went that day. When I arrived I
    told the lady I was here to get my GED. She began to
    explain that I needed to take 6 courses, one at a time.

    When I was done with each course I would test on that
    topic. She stated that I could take as long as I needed
    on each topic before I tested. There I was, like Barnes,

    standing before that lady and all I needed to here was
    that I could take as long as I needed.

    So, I asked her if I  could take a test today. She
    looked at me and thought for a moment, well sure. You
    see I was there to get my GED. I left there that day,
    after taking all 6 test and passing them.

    I got drunk that night and laughed at all of the
    “suckers” that stayed in high school. The next day
    I joined the Army.

    I repeated this once again in my life when I was told
    that I could not get a job in law enforcement with only
    a GED. Again I stood there saying I will do this..this
    is what I want.

    Today 14 years later I have been a police officer at
    a department of over 500 sworn..worked most divisions.
    promoted to corporal, first line supervisor and I am
    currently on the list to make Sergeant.

    Again….Barnes standing there….or that little girl
    getting that fifty cents….man I loved chapter 1.

    Its what I wanted to do and no matter what I was going
    to do it.Mentoring for Free, The Success Team Builders,
    …this big family is what I want to do. I feel at home
    and so close to so many of you that I have not even met
    yet.

    I am master of my fate and Captain
    of my Soul….how exciting is that?

    Chapter 1. Thoughts Are Things

    This is my third time through the book…not counting
    the times that I read it prior to the Mental Cleanse…
    you know…the times when I couldn’t figure out why
    this book was supposed to be such a big deal…it
    even seemed a little boring to me then.

    So much for the idea of a “30 Day” Mental Cleanse…
    My First Time on Mental Cleanse started nearly
    7 months ago on January 2, 2008.  I think my life
    actually started in a new way on that day…And
    Now…Finally…the Words “THINK AND GROW RICH”
    are popping off the page at me as I read this chapter
    so many times that I think I have it memorized.

    The process has been so gradual that it’s tough to
    even measure the difference in how I feel now
    compared to seven months ago.  I think it is my
    Belief level that’s changed….the KNOWING of it to
    be the Truth and the Acceptance of that FACT
    into my Being.  I no longer need to THINK ABOUT
    whether or not I can believe that THOUGHTS ARE
    POWERFUL…I KNOW IT NOW.  It’s difficult to
    believe that I haven’t ALWAYS known it.  Every
    day of our lives, we prove it to be true.

    Maybe AWARENESS is what is happening now. It feels
    like I’m about to explode with the realization
    of this TRUTH.  And yet, I am also aware that if I
    do not use this Basic Truth in a constructive way,
    I am choosing to use this Basic Truth against My
    Self.  And there would be NO reason that I would
    choose to do that if I am remembering that my
    Thoughts Are Powerful Things…
    especially when I activate them with emotion.

    I have grown to respect My Thoughts in a way that has
    never happened to me before.  My Thoughts backed by
    Definiteness of Purpose, Persistence, AND a BURNING
    Desire for their translation into riches or other
    material objects…Have I defined in my Mind Exactly
    What IDesire?  Have I adopted that DEFINITE PURPOSE
    and am I standing by that purpose UNTIL it has time
    to become an ALL-CONSUMING OBSESSION?

    My Answer is “YES” and I Must Remember At ALL
    Times…IT IS WHAT I THINK ABOUT THAT COUNTS!

    I CAN THINK AND GROW RICH!
    Friends Always,
    Patti Blevins

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Chapter 1

    From the story of Mr Barnes going into business with
    Edison a great number of things can be learned…Mr
    Barnes didn’t just show up at Edison’s door and
    immediately go into business with Edison, It took
    time. He did what he had to do and kept taking action
    to be able to one day see his desire come true.

    I see people in this business that seem to be success
    ful over night while I am still working to get every
    thing right and wonder what am I doing wrong? Then I
    stop and think, I don’t know how long they have been
    working on the same things I’m working on right now.

    Michael went from nothing to the number 1 distributor
    in his company in 33 months, but he had been working
    on himself for twenty some years before.

    I’ve been around this business for over twenty some
    years but I haven’t been working on the correct process
    until the last year and a half so why do I keep beating
    myself up asking myself why I’m not where Michael is?

    I must keep working on myself and taking the small
    little actions on a daily basis and one day people
    will look at me and say I want to be where he is and
    all they will have to do is follow the recipe and ask
    for help and then one day they will be able to help
    others reach their goals.

    The only way  I can truly fail is to quit and if I keep
    working towards my goals the chances are that I will be
    better off before I even reach my final goal.

    The Power of Networking

    Posted on July 28th, 2008 in Marketing Tips, Recent Posts by Eagle

    This man earns an extra $400 a month

    This is an example of the power in word of mouth advertising. There is power in word-of-mouth advertising that can never be bought through regular advertising channels.

    This man earns an extra $400 a month.
    Another friend, Mike, knows everyone has to eat. Mike searched out a grocery company that didn’t want to be limited to a few stores or locations, but wanted to market groceries nationwide. Instead of opening and staffing supermarkets, they decided to operate a large warehouse and ship groceries via United Parcel Service directly to the consumer’s door.

    Does this work?
    The grocery company doesn’t have to invest capital in stores or shop assistants. The savings easily pay for shipping non-perishable groceries directly to the consumer’s door. The grocery company also saves a fortune by refraining from paying for full-page newspaper ads.
    But how do they get their message out to potential customers across the country? Word-of-mouth advertising is the answer. Because people let others know about their convenient, price-competitive, to-the-front-door service, the grocery company can use its advertising budget to reward their “word-of-mouth” advertisers.
    Mike simply says, “Are you tired of standing in checkout queues? Would you want your groceries delivered to your door for the same price? Read this.”
    He hands the person a brochure explaining the service. If the person becomes another satisfied customer of the national grocery service, Mike earns a monthly word-of-mouth referral bonus.

    How does Mike feel about this referral or networking concept? “It’s a lot easier to get a $400 word-of-mouth monthly bonus check for a little conversation than to get a $400 pay rise.”

    Why it works
    The networking, or referral, concept is simple. Businesses who participate love the no-risk advertising it provides. Individuals love getting their piece of the advertising pie for doing what they have been doing for free.
    Among the types of products and services that successfully share their advertising budget with individuals are cars, appliances, legal insurance, food, clothing, sports equipment, buyer discount services, confectionery, health foods, travel, soft drinks, water filters, utility services, and the list can go on and on.

    Somewhere, almost any product or service is now being offered through referral or network marketing. Remember, not every company will share its advertising budget, but surely one of its competitors will.


    “Just two more referrals and …”

    Phase 2 (The concept expanded)
    Remember the Mr. Food supermarket? If you have an average family, you may spend as much as $500 monthly for groceries. In one year’s time, your purchases would add up to $6,000. You can see that every family added to Mr. Food’s customer base is very important to Mr. Food.
    Let’s say you refer your neighbour, Alice, to the wonderful service and food selection at Mr. Food’s supermarket. Alice’s family purchases an additional $6,000 worth of groceries from Mr. Food. You are now responsible for $12,000 in grocery sales for Mr. Food’s supermarket. Surely, you’ll be earning a nice cash bonus.
    But what if Alice refers her brother’s family to Mr. Food? That is an additional $6,000 in sales. Of course, Alice will receive a word-of-mouth advertising bonus for referring her brother, but what about you?
    You didn’t actually refer Alice’s brother. However, if it wasn’t for you referring Alice, her brother would never have known about Mr. Food. You might consider yourself INDIRECTLY responsible for introducing Alice’s brother to Mr. Food.
    Now you are responsible (directly and indirectly) for $18,000 in annual grocery sales for Mr. Food.
    You $6,000
    Alice $6,000
    Alice’s brother $6,000

    Total $18,000
    What do you think you deserve for referring $18,000 in annual grocery sales to Mr. Food? 5 percent ($900)? 10 percent ($1,800)?
    What if Mr. Food could stop its full page newspaper advertising altogether and let you be responsible for filling Mr. Food with customers? Does this sound difficult? It really isn’t. You see, you wouldn’t have to do all the referring yourself.
    Imagine spreading the news of the wonderful Mr. Food Supermarket to five friends. If the five friends you told are not hermits, they could spread the news of the wonderful Mr. Food Supermarket to 5, 10, or even 15 of their friends. These individuals could pass the news along to their friends, etc.
    It is possible, by sharing the news with just a couple of friends, that eventually, everyone in town could be contacted. That’s networking. Filling the Mr. Food Supermarket really won’t be quite as hard as you imagine.
    Now, how much word-of-mouth advertising bonus do you deserve? You deserve the entire advertising budget. Of course, you would share it with your network of friends who helped you spread the news.
    Can you see how receiving just two percent of an entire supermarket’s sales could be
    If you haven’t thought of it already, I’m sure there is more than one supermarket in your area. There may even be a clothing store or a car dealership in your community also. The potential is mind-boggling!

    Your words are as good as gold
    How big are the advertising budgets of companies you presently do business with? Major corporations like Ford, Coca Cola, AT&T and other companies spend billions of dollars every year marketing their products and services.
    These are just four of the hundreds of thousands of companies that advertise every day. The total amount spent on advertising is more than a trillion dollars each year. You don’t need to share in a very large percentage of a trillion dollars to live quite comfortably.

    Just look around you to see all the advertising spent in your local area. It’s everywhere. For instance:
    1. Billboards
    2. Television
    3. Satellite or Cable Television
    4. Radio
    5. Newspapers
    6. Magazines
    7. Direct Mail
    But none of these advertising methods are as effective as word-of-mouth advertising. Potential customers will give far more credence to a friend’s recommendation than to a message on a $10,000 billboard.
    There is power in word-of-mouth advertising that can never be bought through regular advertising channels. Smart companies are more than willing to share their advertising budgets for this powerful method of increasing business.

    This lesson will be continued …

    A reason to forward Jokes !!!

    Posted on July 27th, 2008 in Recent Posts by Sarah Thompson

    Water bowl-This is why I send forwards 
    This explains why we forward jokes.

    READ IT TO THE END.

    A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.


    He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them.


    After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.



    When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as  he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side.


    When he was close enough, he called out, ‘Excuse me, where are we?’


    ‘This is Heaven, sir,’ the man answered.



    ‘Wow! Would you happen to have some water?’ the man asked.



    ‘Of course, sir. Come right in, and I’ll have some ice water brought right up.’




    The man gestured, and the gate began to open.



    ‘Can my friend,’ gesturing toward his dog, ‘come in, too?’ the traveler asked.



    ‘I’m sorry, sir, but we don’t accept pets.’



    The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog.


    After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence.


    As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.


    ‘Excuse me!’ he called to the man. ‘Do you have any water?’


    ‘Yeah, sure, there’s a pump over there, come on in.’



    ‘How about my friend here?’ the traveler gestured to the dog.


    ‘There should be a bowl by the pump.’



    They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it.



    The traveler filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog.



    When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree.


    ‘What do you call this place?’ the traveler asked.


    ‘This is Heaven,’ he answered.


    ‘Well, that’s confusing,’ the traveler said. ‘The man down the road said that was Heaven, too.’



    ‘Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That’s hell.’


    ‘Doesn’t it make you mad for them to use your name like that?’


    ‘No, we’re just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind.’


    Soooo….


    Sometimes, we wonder why friends keep forwarding jokes to us without writing a word.


    Maybe this will explain.



    When you are very busy, but still want to keep in touch, guess what you do? You forward jokes.


    When you have nothing to say, but still want to keep contact, you forward jokes.


    When you have something to say, but don’t know what, and don’t know how, you forward jokes.



    Also to let you know that you are still remembered, you are still important, you are still loved, you are still cared for, guess what you get?


    A forwarded joke.



    So, next time if you get a joke, don’t think that you’ve been sent just another forwarded joke, but that you’ve been thought of today and your friend on the other end of your computer wanted to send you a smile.



    You are all welcome @ my water bowl anytime!

    Two fantastic lessons from Ch.15- Lets Grow Up Together, shall we!

    Posted on July 23rd, 2008 in Mental Cleanse MasterMInd Sessions, Personal Development, Recent Posts by Sarah Thompson

    Chapter 15:
    HOW TO OUTWIT THE SIX GHOSTS OF FEAR

    I know this is getting to you very late, I really
    struggled with the devil himself on this chapter.
    So much so that my back mussels went into
    spasms.

    Old Man Worry - Hill writes _
    An unsettled mind is helpless. Indecision makes
    an unsettled mind.

    I guess I never thought of worry this way and I must
    confess, I do my share of worrying. Growing up,
    I worried if Mom would make it home from work,
    or if Dad would come home upset and angry or not
    come home at all.

    I grew up in poverty, many times I remember we had no
    lights or phone because there was no money to pay
    the bills.Or we ate toast and milk for supper. In the
    cold Minnesota winters, blankets from the Salvation
    Army would hang on my bedroom wall as insulation
    to keep the cold out, We only had a space heater
    in the living room to heat our four room house, and that’s
    not four bedrooms, just four rooms for the five of us.
    I remember when I was a teenager being
    approached at the grocery store for the keys to the car.
    The car was being reposed. How cool was that for a
    teenager to experience, NOT cool at all.

    I can be a real camelion and hide what is going on
    inside of me quite well. Until my body starts to speak
    to me in painful ways. I don’t really know where I’m
    going with this lesson, other than I recognize I have issues
    with the six Ghosts of fear and I take warning.

    So, with out going back to dig up any more stuff that’s
    in the past, I am pushing
    forward to claim my willpower and put it into
    constant use, until, as Hill says it, until it builds a wall of
    immunity against negative influences in my mind.
    .
    I am charging ahead to conquer this beast once and for all.
    If I stay close to the fire, close to my mentors and close
    to my own thoughts, new habits will form and I will
    “conquer self and force life to pay whatever I ask of it.

    Thank you Michael, Linda and Sarah, for believing in me
    while I re-build and strengthen belief in myself.

    Your Friend for life,
    Judy Narum

    Chapter 15
    The Six Ghosts Of Fear

    I have lived and breathed Fear of Poverty my entire life. Every single
    person in my life has added a stitch to my custom tailored suit of Fear
    of Poverty and it has absorbed into every cell of my being and made itself
    at home there.

    That is every person in my life until now.

    Every person I have ever known (up until now) speaks badly of someone else,
    second guesses their choices, plants seed of doubt, adds a negative thought
    vibration. They all have some comment about people who have money to bring
    them down a notch. That they didnt do legitimate work to earn it, the bank owns
    them or they are drug dealers or some other put down to say that these
    rich people dont
    deserve to have wht they earned, and every other example that Hill
    listed as symptoms.

    I too have participated it that crap. Its like a gigantic
    merry-go-round that you
    cant get off and yet you need to question what happens if I dont?
    It will be the battle of my life time.

    I am married to a Green ( at first I thought him Red), his programming is very
    deep rooted. He is not taking this journey with me. My mother is a
    Yellow personality
    also has some very deep hurts and has accepted poverty or so it seems
    to me. I live
    with her also along with my 17 yr old son. He loves “The Secret” movie.
    So at times it seems its us against them. Trying to keep the negatives away.

    None of them bad mouth, or try to hinder what I am doing with my MLM.
    But neither
    do they ask how its going. You can feel the doubt oozing off of them. This is
    not a situation I can easily remedy. It will be a harder battle for
    me to fight with
    their extra resistance on me but I know I can win despite that.

    I have to. I have to for my sake, but I also need to do it for their sake.
    They were there when I needed them and I wont leave them behind. If at sometime
    they are still not on board, then they and it will be them, that make
    the choice to go.
    And I will be okay with that.

    As I travel this journey, I have grown gradually stronger, I can see
    it. I do however
    have some very bad days where I am really depressed and negative and
    now I even fly into
    rages. I never used to be like that.

    At first I thought it was PMS But then the timing was off for that.
    So recently I started
    to look back to figure out when it started to happen.

    I have come to this ah ha moment and realized that I started getting
    crabby and moody
    when I started my self talks a few months ago. Seeing as this is my
    3rd time through this
    particular chapter. Its the one I started the Cleanse on. 31 weeks ago.

    So over a period of 31 weeks my moods have gotten increasingly worse.
    Now I fly into a
    rage over what seems like afterwards, nothing. I can not control
    what comes out of my mouth.
    I do not feel any positive emotions in this state. In a lot of ways
    it feels like drowning.
    Some may say that I am trying to push my husband
    away because he is the one who takes the hit. But that isnt it. At
    first it may have been
    a test but its different now.

    It feels as if my old self is being pushed out by my new self and self
    talk. It is
    resisting the changes and is putting up a fight to stay.

    My good days lately have become more frequent. I feel more peaceful
    and I feel more genuine
    when I talk to people. Not just in my business either. I can feel my
    money agenda subsiding
    to.

    But then the pendulum switches direction…I look in my bank account
    and go over the budget
    to make the puzzle pieces fit. I question how will there be enough to
    go around. How will I
    be able to go to my company’s convention in Aug.

    I become angry because I KNOW if I would have set some money aside
    each month starting when I
    learned when convention was (Since last years convention) I could
    have easily had my passport
    in place, money for a plane ticket, which I could have probably also
    paid for an extra ticket for someone
    to join me, and my other expenses. But because of this ridiculous
    fear of Poverty, I procrastinated
    I made excuses. I used my husbands fear of me traveling alone as an
    excuse to get in my way of
    my dreams and desires. I sabotaged myself.

    I really could write more on the effects Fear of Poverty has had on
    me. But that won’t change the
    fact that, it is what I choose today that counts more.

    I battle my demon everyday that wants me to look at my past and my
    failures, if I do that, I give it
    the edge it needs to win. I need to focus on what I want, who I want
    to help and who I want to be. I need to chant to
    myself that “Thoughts Are Things and we reap the rewards of our
    dominating thoughts.”

    These calls are saving me. I may not speak up and share very often,
    ok at all, but I listen. I learn
    something from each person here. I feel safe and secure that I am not
    the only one fighting this battle
    I have my battle that no one can win for me but me, but I am grateful
    for the warriors by my side.

    Thank you Michael and Linda for this group. I know if it werent for
    you and Sarah,
    I would accept poverty as “normal” and suffered in silence the rest of my life.

    So the battle continues…

    Thanks for your love, belief and patience.

    Henrietta Hakes

    Posted on July 23rd, 2008 in Personal Development, Recent Posts by Sarah Thompson

    Hmm,  What words can have more impact on Your life? I beleive only the words ” I love  You” . When I met my Mentor Michael Dlouhy, he said “Sarah, I will believe in You,until you believe in yourself” These simple words  backed by true emotoin uttered by a man I had not yet met in person, not yet exchanged hugs Changed my Life .

    Who Do You Believe in? What Do You believe? a friend sent me an email this morning - about what she believes . take the time to ponder each one - then ask Yourself ” Do I believe in myself ?

    Know this I will believe in You until You learn to believe in Yourself.  If You want to “OWN” Your life beging NOW get a copy of my book free here Success

    Until then read the “beliefs” below and list Your own

    I Believe…

     

     

    A Birth Certificate shows that we were born,

    A Death Certificate shows that we died,

    Pictures show that we lived!

    Have a seat . . . Relax . . . And read this slowly.

    I Believe…

    That just because two people argue,

    it doesn’t mean they don’t love each other.
    And just because they don’t argue,
    it doesn’t mean they do love each other.

    I Believe…
    That we don’t have to change friends

    if we understand that friends change.

    I Believe…
    That no matter how good a friend is,

    they’re going to hurt you every once in a while

    and you must forgive them for that.

    I Believe…
    That true friendship continues to grow,

    even over the longest distance.

    Same goes for true love.


    I Believe…
    That you can do something in an instant
    that will give you heartache for life.

    I Believe…
    That it’s taking me a long time
    to become the person I want to be.

    I Believe…
    That you should always leave loved ones with loving words.

    It may be the last time you see them.

    I Believe…
    That you can keep going

    long after you think you can’t.

    I Believe…
    That we are responsible for what we do,

    no matter how we feel.

    I Believe…
    That either you control your attitude

    or it controls you.

    I Believe…
    That heroes are the people

    who do what has to be done
    when it needs to be done,

    regardless of the consequences.

      

    I Believe…
    That my best friend and I,

    can do anything,

    or nothing

    and have the best time.

    I Believe…
    That sometimes the people

    you expect to kick you when you’re down,

    will be the ones to help you get back up.

    I Believe…
    That sometimes when I’m angry

    I have the right to be angry,
    but that doesn’t give me

    the right to be cruel.

    I Believe…
    That maturity has more to do

    with what types of experiences you’ve had
    and what you’ve learned from them

    and less to do with how many birthdays you’ve celebrated.

    I Believe…
    That it isn’t always enough,

    to be forgiven by others.

    sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    I Believe…
    That no matter how bad your heart is broken

    the world doesn’t stop for your grief.

    I Believe…
    That our background and circumstances

    may have influenced who we are,
    but, we are responsible for who we become.

    I Believe…
    That you shouldn’t be so eager to find out a secret.

    It could change your life Forever.

    I Believe…
    Two people can look at the exact same thing

    and see something totally different.

    I Believe…
    That your life can be changed in a matter of hours

    by people who don’t even know you.

    I Believe…
    That even when you think you have no more to give,

    when a friend cries out to you

    - you will find the strength to help.

    I Believe…
    That credentials on the wall

    do not make you a decent human being.

    I Believe…
    That the people you care about most in life

    are taken from you too soon.

    I Believe…
    That you should send this

    to all of the people that you believe in,

    I just did.

    ‘The happiest of people

    don’t necessarily have the best of everything;

    they just make the most of everything.’

    A Thought Provoking Funeral..It is Later than You Think !!

    Posted on July 23rd, 2008 in Personal Development, Recent Posts by Sarah Thompson

    Hi Sarah here — Interesting thata friend of mine should send me an e-mail about a funeral— I had a dear friend of mine passed away last week Read This ..It is Later, than you Think — This is worth the Read !!!
    THE FUNERAL
    ============

    One day all the employees reached the office and they saw a big
    sign on the door on which was written:

    Yesterday, the person who has been hindering your growth in
    this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral in
    the room that has been prepared in the gym.

    In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of one of
    their colleagues, but after a while they started getting
    curious to know who was that man who hindered the growth of his
    colleagues and the company itself.

    The excitement in the gym was such that security agents were
    ordered to control the crowd within the room. The more people
    reached the coffin, the more the excitement heated up.

    Everyone thought: ‘Who is this guy who was hindering my
    progress? Well, at least he died!

    One by one the thrilled employees got closer to the coffin, and
    when they looked inside it, they suddenly became speechless.

    They stood nearby the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if
    someone had touched the deepest part of their soul. There was
    a mirror inside the coffin; everyone who looked inside it could
    see himself. There was also a sign next to the mirror that
    said: There is only one person who is capable of setting
    limits to your growth: IT IS YOU!!!!!

    Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your
    friends change, when your parents change, when your husband or
    wife change, when your company change, when your church
    changes, when your location change, when your money change,
    when your status change…

    Your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your
    limiting beliefs.

    Examine yourself, watch yourself. Don’t be afraid of
    difficulties, impossibilities and losses. Be a winner, build
    yourself and your reality. It’s the way you face Life that
    makes the difference.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Life Is not the amount of breaths you take, it’s the
    moments in your life that take your breath away.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

     

    Chapter 13, The Brain

    Our brains are both sending and receiving stations.
    They send and receive thoughts from other brains.In
    this manner,we are all truly connected to each other.

    Through our emotions our thought vibrations are
    stepped up to a higher level which can then be sent
    to others and to our own subconscious minds. We are
    also more able to receive when emotion is mixed with
    the thought.

    This is the reason there are no accidents. This is
    the reason we find ourselves where we are. What we
    are broadcasting comes to us, positive or negative.

    This is why the Mastermind works. And it is powerful
    because it is not just one mind attracting something
    but two or more and the power of it multiplies.

    We get what we focus on, what we think about. This
    mastermind group is very important for each of us
    individually as it allows each of us to move for-
    ward more quickly than if we were by ourselves.

    When one of us has a real breakthrough, it creates
    a way for the rest of us to do the same… And the
    one who had the original breakthrough was able to
    do that because of the help of the rest of the group.

    It is like geese flying in formation where the
    leaders break the trail for the rest of us to move
    forward more easily.

    Thank you Michael,
    Cheryl Maples
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Chapter 13

    This chapter really put it all together for me.

    I am starting to really practise these principles
    daily.

    I am seeing the importance of putting real emotion
    into what my desires are.

    I am focused on keeping the positive emotions so
    strong in my mind that the negative ones do not
    have any space or chance of creeping back in.

    Doing my self talk as much as possible is so
    important. It keeps me focused. I have noticed
    that if I have some quite time and I start having
    negative thought come to me, if I just say my
    self talk and start to visualize my desires those
    negative thought go away.

    So I am now so much happier. I have gotten rid
    of all those obstacles that were in my way.

    I can now see the bright future that is ahead
    of me. But I also see how great things are right
    now.

    I have such a strong and loving husband that
    would not let even a stroke keep him from us.

    I have a beautiful amazing daughter that has
    filled my life with so much love and laughter.

    I have a beautiful home that will not be taken
    away from me. We have overcome so much and I
    know that this is just the beginning.

    Jennifer Billy
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Chapter 13,, THE BRAIN

    This chapter makes sense and explains what
    Hill said earlier about the power of the mastermind.

    I liked his description of the huge number of cells
    in the brain and his asking if they were all there
    just for dealing with day to day physical problems.

    I have not spent much time at all thinking about
    meditation or esp, but I do know that there have
    been many many times when Anna and I have said or
    thought about the same thing, when neither of us
    has been discussing it previously.

    This has happened to me before with close friends,
    so something must be going on!!

    As I read the chapter again just now, I thought
    about how Tom tells us that people make up their
    minds about us in the first twenty seconds, and
    how you tell us to call people with no agenda.

    Could it be that our ‘transmitted’ messages are
    stronger than our spoken messages?

    If our mouth is saying we don’t have an agenda,
    but our brain is transmitting that we do, which
    message reaches the listener’s ear, or more
    importantly the listener’s heart?

    People’s body language will be more important
    than their words every time, and perhaps their
    brain language is most important of all.

    The Brain.  My Lesson  7.9.08

    I confess…..My brain has been swimming with so
    much data this week following my awesome coaching
    call with Sarah on Sunday afternoon and I’ve had
    a challenge to settle down and write my lesson for
    today.

    I’ve actually read the chapter three or four times
    and I am in awe!…..  Obviously, the brain is an
    unbelievable piece of “equipment” that we generally
    take for granted a good share of the time.

    But when we actually stop to even consider the
    potential of our amazing brains…WOW…

    So…as I said…I confess…I dug out my lesson
    on this chapter from last March and  guess what..
    .it still works for me…

    It gets overwhelming rather quickly for me when I
    begin thinking about Hill’s explanations of the many
    intangible forces in this Universe…most of which we
    just take for granted every day and never really
    think about them at all.  As he says, we humans
    depend too much on our physical senses and most of
    the time, we limit our knowledge to physical things
    that we can see, touch, weigh, and measure.

    Just as we’ve talked about in this group many times,
    as young children, many times we’re programmed to
    do just that…what you see is what you get; get your
    head out of the clouds; get your feet back on the
    ground; face reality; stop daydreaming; well…you
    get the idea.

    We are not encouraged to even think about the
    intangible forces that affect our lives every day.
    at least not much beyond reading about gravity in
    science class anyway.

    To consider the intangible forces of the world that
    Hill speaks about…the rolling waves of the ocean;
    gravity and all the unfathomable ways that it is at
    work all around us; the forces of a thunderstorm and
    of electricity…the list goes on and on.

    Probably the intangible force that many of us have
    probably thought about more often than some of the
    others is the intangible force wrapped up in the soil
    of the earth.

    What little child hasn’t planted a tiny seed in a
    cup of dirt for a special Mother’s Day gift and then,
    fascinated by what that seed turned into…presented
    it with total delight…and ignorance about what
    happened?

    And are we not still totally “in the dark” about how
    those garden seeds turn into a mountain of produce
    throughout the summer as we tend and nurture what
    those tiny seeds have become.

    But yet, even that most familiar intangible force…
    planting a seed in the soil…we have faith, we expect,
    and we watch that spot in the dirt…just waiting and
    expecting and having faith that any moment we will
    see something pop up through the soil and then…
    we pretty much take it for granted again.

    But, when we actually focus on the miracle of what
    these intangible forces produce in our lives…it is
    absolutely awesome.

    But what about the greatest of all the intangible
    forces…the force of our thoughts?  How often do we
    consider how powerful they are.  I think before most
    of us came to this Master Mind group, we probably took
    our thoughts much more for granted than we do now.

    To read what Hill explains about the intricacies of
    the makeup of the human brain…I can’t really even
    begin to fathom that the number of lines that connect
    the brain cells with one another equals the figure
    one, followed by fifteen million ciphers.

    And keep in mind…that was in 1937.  And they even
    knew then that all of those nerve cells in our
    brains are arranged in definite patterns.  Their
    arrangement is NOT haphazard, but orderly.

    Hill says that it is inconceivable that such a net
    work of intricate machinery should be in existence
    for the sole purpose of carrying on the physical
    functions incidental to growth and maintenance
    of the physical body.

    He asks us, “Is it not likely that the same system
    which gives billions of brain cells the media for
    communication one with another provides also the
    means of communication with other intangible forces

    I have to admit that question made me feel similarly
    to when my husband will point out a beautiful sunset
    or a fabulous double rainbow in the sky, or an
    awesome bank of clouds during a storm…and when I
    realize that I hadn’t even noticed what was right in
    front of my face, it’s also the moment that I realize
    that so very much passes us by without our even
    noticing, understanding, or even making use of what
    is right before us all the time.

    I usually always respond in those moments by saying
    to myself…”I need to look UP more often and see
    what I’m missing.”  And in response to Hill’s
    question…of course, it is evident to us now that
    our brain’s are capable of far more than we use
    them for in our everyday lives.

    With regard to the intangible force of thought, and
    the knowledge that through autosuggestion and the
    power of the Master Mind principle that we can indeed
    “work with” this intangible force…or let it work
    against us.

    Just the realization that we can affect this intangible
    force of thought at all is amazing.  I think it’s just
    one of those little secrets that God planted for us to
    find and realize, once again like the little child full
    of awe watching the tiny seed grow into a beautiful
    flower for Mommy…that no matter our age when we
    discover it, the power of our thoughts is not a mistake,
    but an amazing opportunity to make life as wonderful as
    we want it to be…and let the rest go on by.

    Life Is not the amount of breaths you take, it’s the
    moments in your life that take your breath away.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    Chapter 12, The Subconscious Mind.

    The subconscious mind is scarry to think about
    but also exciting to think this can link us to
    infinite intelligence.We must control our thoughts
    is overwhelming at the least how do we do this.

    I struggle with doubt and fear I am not good enough
    to reach my goals.  How can I keep focused and
    keep the seven positive emotions active at work
    and keep the wolves at bay?

    This is my struggle each and every day. Stay close
    to the fire I hear,  We must stay around positive
    people if we are to keep these seven positives in
    focus.We must have faith.

    We must be patient we must be persistent.

    These are very hard things for man to do.  The sub
    conscious mind is very scarry because it is at work
    so either we control its outcome or it controls our
    outcome.

    I must have faith and believe to reach my goals.

    It works even if we do not.  So if i do not influence
    it who does?  Am I willing to let this control my out
    come or is it worth working on so I get where I want
    to go?

    It will not remain idle so I am going in some direction
    but who is in the drivers seat.  We create everything
    through thought good or bad.  So we are where we
    choose to be.  That leaves a very bitter taste in my
    mouth.

    My thoughts brought me to where I am now?  Are
    thoughts are a magnet drawing to us things equal
    to what we give to our subconscious.

    How do I control my thoughts, o yes mentoring for
    free,  positive peoples influence, close to the fire,
    great mentors Each thing creates its own kind I
    must control my destiny or what will it be?

    I must form a habit of positive thought  but I thought
    21 days formed a habit.  I have been involved more
    than 21 days why do I still struggle.  How can I get
    the positive so strong the negative has no room?

    I must have faith, patience , persistence, and sincere
    desire.  For me the hardest is faith so I just stay
    close to the fire and mentoring for free!  I must belive
    In me and have a burning desire to reach my goals.

    I must strive with everything in me to reach my goals.
    I can have it all whit faith desire and passion in my
    daily activity.  I will reach my dreams!

    Thank you Michael and Linda for believing in me, I
    can never let you know how much this means to
    me.  You will always be close to my heart.

    I love You
    Tony Casteel
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    This chapter is so easy, yet so hard. Just reprogram
    your subconscious mind by consciously allowing only
    certain thoughts in.

    Right!  Napoleon Hill forgot to mention the battle that
    goes on when you try to reprogram.  After all, you
    have years and years of negative thoughts that have
    controlled your every action, word and deed.

    And so much of it has been done so subtly, going
    back to before we could even talk, that we don’t
    realize what we’re fighting until we get hold of a
    book like Think and Grow Rich.

    The good news is that it does get easier with practice.
    I was fortunate enough to come across this teaching
    last year.  That’s why, at the ripe “old” age of 60 I’m
    starting over again.  I’m starting an adventure!

    And you know what?  I will succeed.

    I refuse to accept less than success.  Over the past
    year it has gotten easier…..easier to believe what I
    tell myself now, easier to believe I deserve success,
    easier to not hear the negative words from those
    who would try to discourage me.

    So now I”ll change the word ‘believe” to “know,”
    because when one believes, then one can expect
    it to happen or “know” it will happen.

    I know I’ll succeed because I have believed it and
    because I deserve it.  That knowledge gives me the
    courage to seek out whatever I need in order to
    succeed.

    That belief, that knowledge, has led me to
    Mentoring For Free where I can be assured
    that I’ll learn whatever I need in order to be
    successful this time.

    Stand back and watch me grow.  Better yet,
    join me and grow with me.

    The Subconscious Mind

    Have you ever had a childhood experience that was
    relatively insignificant in the overall scheme of life
    and it just keeps popping into your conscious mind
    and you wonder why?

    It’s an experience that was pretty significant at the
    time, but it really doesn’t seem worthy of continuing
    to think about it at all.  It’s over, it’s long gone, no
    body got hurt…let it go!  Well, this week, I’ve become
    aware of the fact that it’s over, it’s long gone…but
    maybe someone did get hurt…me.

    I read this chapter right after last week’s mental
    cleanse call——-normally I wouldn’t get the new
    chapter read until Monday or Tuesday of the next
    week.  I’ve read this chapter many times in years
    past, and a time or two since being in this group.
    But this time was different…the first two paragraphs
    wouldn’t let go of me…

    Dr. Hill said, “The subconscious mind consists of
    a field of consciousness, in which EVERY impulse
    of thought that reaches the objective mind through
    any of the five senses, is classified and recorded,
    and from which thoughts may be recalled or with
    drawn as letters may be taken from a filing cabinet.

    It receives, and files, sense impressions or thoughts,
    regardless of their nature.  You may VOLUNTARILY
    plant in your subconscious mind any plan, thought,
    or purpose which you desire to translate into its
    physical or monetary equivalent.

    The subconscious acts first on the dominating
    desires which have been mixed with emotional
    feeling, such as faith.”

    So as I kept getting yanked back to these two
    paragraphs and pondering what Dr. Hill was telling
    me, I realized that the childhood experience that
    kept coming back to my conscious thoughts 43
    years after the fact was just like Dr. Hill said…it
    was just as if the experience was filed away in
    my mind at age 10 and for some odd reason, I
    kept pulling that “folder” out of the file cabinet
    of my mind with some regularity over the years–
    not really dwelling on it, but just pulling the
    “classified and recorded” file out of my “mind
    cabinet” and leaving it lay on my desk of life for
    a bit and then I’d file it away again and wouldn’t
    give it another thought for a period of time.

    Then, without warning, I’d find myself pulling that
    same thought file out of my mind cabinet again.
    I could never figure out why.

    Another experience that flies out of the “file
    cabinet” of my mind has tapped me on the
    shoulder with a little more regularity through
    out my adult life.  To put it bluntly, I’ve always
    had an underlying distrust of most women–an
    uncomfortable feeling when I had to be around
    a group of women or even in a conversation that
    lasted very long with one woman.

    I’ve always believed it was because I got married
    when I was very young; I had three children by
    the time I was 25 years old–I was busy; I grew
    up on the farm…my mother never taught me to
    be a shop-a-holic with your girlfriends; I never
    had a group of girlfriends that I hung out with
    other than at school…yadda, yadda, yadda!

    I’ve always believed most women were judg
    mental and critical and controlling and my
    instincts were always focused on: do what
    you’ve got to do and get out.

    And I functioned that way in my life being a
    very active mother of three children all involved
    in many school activities; an active church life;
    and a full time career for over 25 years.

    Oh, I could function and participate quite
    successfully on the surface, but at age 53
    now, I could definitely count on one hand
    with several fingers left over, the number of
    women I have really trusted over my lifetime.

    In fact, as I’m trying to remember who they
    are, I think I may have 4 or 5 fingers left over
    as I count them.  But I never really experienced
    that same anxiety and apprehension around men.

    I’ve always wondered if I was some kind of real
    weirdo or something because I just never ever
    felt any kind of girlfriend comraderie going on
    in any circle of friends–I just would not let my
    self get that close to anyone.  And “being very
    busy” always gave me that excuse I needed to
    “escape” when I wanted to.

    On May 13th, Richard Dennis’ Tuesday skills
    call on marketing was about a chapter called
    “Giving Up Resistance” from a book by John
    Gray titled “How to Get What You Want and
    Want What You Have”.

    As Richard was sharing this chapter, a few key
    points were grabbing me.  After the call, I ran
    upstairs to my vast library of self-help books
    and there it was on the shelf.  I turned to re-
    read the chapter Richard just shared on the
    call.

    John Gray said, “By linking present negative
    feelings to past situations, you can relive your
    past and enrich it with your more mature and
    loving perspective.  When you were a child,
    you were dependent on your parents to know
    the truth.

    As an adult, you can go back to experience
    the feelings you had as a child and make
    corrections.  As children, we did not have
    fully developed brains capable of reasonable
    thought.

    At that fragile age, we formed beliefs that were
    incorrect, yet they continue to shape and mold
    our lives  Although we can’t change the past,
    we can change the beliefs we formed.

    We can reevaluate what happened and how
    we felt.  Our limited and incorrect beliefs can
    be corrected by going back and revisiting the
    past and using certain processing techniques
    described in another chapter.”

    I’ve read both of these books before…this one
    and “Think and Grow Rich”…I’ve read them
    both more than once…I’m green…they’re all
    highlighted and have notes in the margins.

    As is said…”when the student is READY,
    the ‘teacher’ appears.”

    This week, I became aware of my 10-year-
    old perspective of an emotional experience
    when I accidentally overheard my mother
    telling my father, “Oh, for pete’s sake…
    she thinks she’s bleeding to death!” .

    …after I woke her up in the middle of the
    night scared to death about the mess that
    had awakened me.  I don’t remember any
    thing that my mother said to me as she
    came to help me; I only remember what I
    heard her saying to my dad as I approached
    their bedroom door to say something else
    to her–I don’t remember what that was either.

    And as I sit here writing this at age 53, the
    tears are pouring down my cheeks, partly
    out of sadness for how I felt then, partly
    out of anger for how it’s likely played into
    my misperception about trust over the
    years; and partly out of sheer joy that I
    can now understand the connection and
    relativity of it all.

    I can now see a 10-year-old child who did
    not know that Moms and Dads talk about
    EVERYTHING and what appeared to be
    total betrayal of my most private experience
    in a way that felt like judgment and criticism
    and mockery were all filed away in my 10-
    year-old file cabinet of my subconscious.

    They weren’t given adult labels at that point,
    but likely were labeled as hurt, embarrasment,
    fear, and the fact that I shouldn’t have trusted
    my mom with my “secrets”–my most private
    moment of my life up to that point.  And all of
    that was definitely steeped with emotion for
    me and as Dr. Hill said, “the subconscious
    acts first on the dominating desires which
    have been mixed with emotional feeling.”

    So, now that the “Teachers” have appeared
    because the “Student” is ready, I have been
    back over it all this week with my adult “eyes”
    and can re-write the story at age 10 the way
    I SHOULD have filed it away in my sub
    conscious mind with emotions of:  love,
    understanding, compassion, appreciation
    of my 10-year-old concerns, comfort,
    reassurance, specialness, respect, support,
    caring, bonding, and joy to welcome my
    womanhood into being.

    And rewriting that story, I believe, has changed
    my life from this week forward.  I’ve cried over
    what’s needlessly been lost and I smile about
    my mom’s continued lack of patience with my
    “green personality”, but I rejoice over the fact
    that I am learning to know and love me…may
    be for the first time in my life.

    It’s an ongoing journey, but thanks to Michael
    and Linda’s belief in me, and Sarah’s belief in
    me, and the awesome support and love that
    this group gives to everyone, I am beginning
    to see the light at the end of the tunnel where
    the success curve starts turning upward and
    I know that if I keep VOLUNTARILY planting
    my positive desires in my subconscious mind
    through my self-talk, the MFF Recipe, stay
    “close to the fire”–the MFF calls which is the
    best campfire in the Universe, this business
    and personal growth journey can take only
    the road called “Success”.

    Thank You, Michael and Linda, and Master
    Mind friends for blessing me with your presence.
    You are changing lives…and I appreciate you
    so much!!

    Friends Always,
    Patti Blevins

    The Five Pillars ??

    Posted on July 20th, 2008 in Skills Training, Recent Posts by Eagle

    If You cannot EASILY find these five things “BEFORE” You plunk down your hard earned money,or invest Your time, then turn around and RUN away !!

    Pillar 1. Company management experience with Integrity!
    Do a Google search on the company owners. When you have a company that is built by someone who has also built a big downline they are “Distributor minded” The pay plan will be excellent and it will be easy to build a business with them. The care and support will also be in place. On the other hand, when you find a company that is built by a fortune 500 CEO who has never built a downline of their own, they are “company minded” people. Usually these companies do not last and the pay plan is not designed to pay the Distributor either well or in some cases at all.. The pay plan is designed to pay the company. Another necessary part of the review process is to take a good look at your Policies & Procedures, if the P&P’s are short then there is low overhead (meaning the cost to run the company is minimal) and YOU, the Distributor will get paid more! Companies with high overhead always have long long Policies & Procedures, you will probably need a lawyer to read it for you! This company will not pay you well! Look for the companies products on Ebay, how much are they being sold for? A lot of people shop on Ebay and if they can buy those products cheaper they will!

    Pillar 2. Timing in the company, Timing in the industry!

    Approximately 92% of new companies don’t last, they have growing pains and most don’t recover. They have software problems most of the time. It is very important that a company own it’s own software. If they do, they are able to perform the maintenance themselves and any up-grades or tweaks that they need. If they have bought software else where it is never that simple! It is always a better idea to join a company after it has been up and running smoothly for over 2 years!

    Pillar 3. A remarkable product! It’s necessary to have a product that retails well and ask yourself “Would I buy this product if there were no business opportunity involved?” Is there a Distributor discount on the product? Ask yourself this, “What’s the real price of the product?” and “Doesn’t this behavior show that this company only wants you to recruit new Distributors?” If you are recruiting, recruiting, recruiting you are just building a temporay paycheck! There is NO residual income in recruiting! Retail sales allow you to develop true residual income.

    Agian Please remember You need to be able to EASILY find all five pillars.

    Pillar 4. The Compensation Plan!
    A good pay plan is a plan that pays the most, for the least amount of people, in your organization! The plan should pay on your total volume, not on a specific number of levels, or stop after a set depth. Does it pay part-timers? How much money do you make on a retail sale? 7% and under will kill you!! There is a simple formula that will show you exactly how many people you need in your organization to make your desired monthly income;

    How much money do you make per person, per spot, and divide that by your desired monthly income! That simple formula will give you the exact amount of people you will need in your organization to make your money! Once you get your amount look at it and ask yourself,” Is it possible for me to sponsor, teach and retain this many people?”

    Know your Compensation Plan, what type is it? What are the pros and cons of this type compensation plan?

    Pillar 5. Systems for Success! It is absolutely crucial to have a duplicatable system in place. People are NOT duplicatible! Systems are! The new Distributor will ask themselves, “Can I do this? and can you help me?” Network Marketing is NOT a sales business, it is a relationship business! People join people, they do NOT join companies!

    The Results For Yourself

    What are we talking about? It’s called a 30-day mental cleanse. Yes, that’s right. Too often we let things into our minds that should not be there and it hinders our progress. The best way to get your mind focused is to clean it up with what it should have. Think of it like rebooting your hard drive.

    We all have an audience in our mind…that small voice that tells you things in a whisper, or it could be that screaming crowd of obnoxious loudmouths that are always putting you down! Telling you that you’re not smart, or pretty /handsome. You can’t do it! It’s not going to work for YOU!! You’re a dummy! Lazy! Ugly!! You are SO FAT!
    You know what I’m talking about don’t you?

    What happens is that the negative people who you have grown up with or live around has programmed these negative thoughts into your mind. The TV, radio, newspapers and the Internet have also been negative influences as well. What we listen to and spend our time with is what feeds our precious minds and hands over to our subconscious minds to make into our reality. When was the last time you heard that still small voice whisper in your ear that you are perfect just the way you are?

    It’s been a long time hasn’t it?

    You can’t hear it anymore because of all the self-defeating abusive negative talk and non-stop chatter that has taken over your mind. I’ve got good news….

    You can put a stop to the negativity and chatter for good! It is crucial that you learn how to get rid of these self destructive messages and thoughts in order to be successful in your business as well as your personal life! This garbage eats away at your productivity, your self-esteem and can even lead to suicide.

    When we coach people at Mentoring for Free we have them register for our 30 day Mental Cleanse program so that you can learn to turn off the negative chatter and learn to replace it with positive self talk.

    SUCCESS DEMANDS THAT YOU GET RID OF THE NEGATIVITY FOREVER!

    and I will tell you exactly what chapter we are doing this week. We read one chapter a week and do a simple homework assignment where you will read the required chapter for that week and then write down your thoughts on what you got out of it. Every Wednesday we go over a couple of the lessons that were turned in and have a discussion about them.

    If you can give up the TV, the radio, the news and all the negative people talking about other people for 30 days….this program will change your life!! You will learn how to put a stop to all the negative garbage that’s being crammed into your mind and replace it with positive words, thoughts and feelings.

    The only question is……How bad do you want it? Is your life worth 30 days? Do you want to be happier? more successful?
