 December can be a fun, happy and prosperous time of the year in your business!  Yes, I know it might be a bit more of a challenge for others to give you their time, however most of us will see MORE people in the month of December than other months because of the additional ‘social’ situations.

At work parties or personal holiday gatherings, this is NOT the time to ‘conduct’ business, however this is the perfect time to CONNECT.  You can let others know what you are doing and you would like to call them (tomorrow or next week) and schedule a time to meet.  And, if they are too busy over the holidays, you are then booking your January 2013 calendar.  It’s a win-win!

Holiday Shopping is in full swing and can your business or service assist in their needs?  NOW is the time to pick up the phone and offer your services!  I actually had someone (just yesterday) say “Thank you.  I am so glad I met you today.”  She thanked me for offering my services and being my customer!

The Holiday Season puts a financial stress on many businesses and families.  Do you have a solution?  You bet!  Every 11 seconds someone joins a home-based business.  WHY?  Because they want to earn INCOME.  Not only do we have a fun, simple and web-based business, but we have a PLAN for their success!  We can help others earn a check within their first week, be in profit within 30-days and they can even earn a 4-figure income in their second month too!  

Success is a decision my friends!  I hope you decide to WIN and close the 2012 year of business with the best month ever!

Happy Holidays!

Tonight, my hometown Pittsburgh Steelers are playing prime time Thursday night football!  Our city is beaming (“steel town” -did you get that?!) with pride and bursting with excitement!

Here is a little life lesson with a toss of football for ya! 

Defensive Living: 

• Letting others steer your life
• Waiting to see what others do first
• Reacting more than proactive
• Chasing more than leading

Offensive Living:

• Choose your own path of living
• Take the lead and run with it
• Proactive and planning your life
• Inspire others to follow and grow

Take life just “10 yards at a time” and keep driving down the field one ‘first down’ at a time and before you know it, you will SCORE in your life!  The defense will be there attempting to take you down, but those challenges will build strength and character in you.  Get back up and continue driving towards that end zone my friends!   

Offense scores more than defense.  Keep playing!

 I am NOT the author of this edition of my blog.  I am thrilled to share with you the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the “Peanuts” comic strip.

You don’t have to actually answer the questions.   Just read the e-mail straight through, and you’ll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world .
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America Contest.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
6. Name the last decade’s worth of World Series winners.

 Here’s another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

The lesson?

 

The people who make a difference in your life are NOT the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones who care.

I have been a student of personal development for decades and one of the first books I read on my journey of “me” was Steven Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.  The wisdom of Steven is priceless and timeless.  My personal take-away was that the reality in life and/or business comes down to our core personal principles, the relationships we build over a lifetime, we always need to be learning and we are always a work in progress as not only is the world constantly changing, so are we.

The 7 Habits:

1.  Be Proactive

2.  Begin with the End in Mind

3.  Put First Things First

4.  Think Win-Win

5.  Seek First to Understand then Seek to Be Understood

6.  Synergize

7.  Sharpen the Saw

BE PROACTIVE

• Know WHAT you want to accomplish in your life and live each day in the PROACTIVE pursuit of achieving it!  Life is not a dress rehearsal.  You’ve got one shot to make this life an amazing experience.
• Be PROACTIVE in cultivating and maintaining solid relationships – in both, your personal life and business.
• Be PROACTIVE in your personal health.  It’s the small choices you make on a daily basis that contribute to a healthy body.  Eat well (90% of of the time … the other 10% treat yourself!) and move your body – at least 20 – 30 minutes each day – just 5-6 times a week – just that little bit of time done all the time makes a difference!
• Be PROACTIVE in becoming the BEST YOU.  Each day nourish your mind with a book to help you learn and grow

Just a “taste” of what I have learned from an inspirational and informative mentor.  His work will continue through his books.  I encourage you to learn and grow from Steven Covey.

If you are a fan of setting goals in your business or life, then you probably heard the phrase, “find the WHY that makes your cry”.   Intellectually, I have always understood that your goal should be so important and mean so much to you that it brings tears to your eyes.  Emotionally, I know that my goals are felt deeply in my heart.  However, my inspiration to drive to pursue my goals (personally) does not come from tears, it comes from being excited!

I get EXCITED about my WHY!

• What EXCITES you?
• What do you dream about?
• What do you think about so much that you would move mountains to make it happen?
• What do you love so much that keeps you up at night?
• What makes you jump out of bed in the morning and you can’t wait to do?
• What would you do with your life if you had the time and financial resources?

Whether it is through tears or joy, my dream for you is to find your WHY and achieve all that you desire in your life.

Stories … life is a collection of them and my wish for you is that you are gathering fun, meaningful and exciting stories!

Want an exciting life that means something?

1. Your “work life” should be something you live to work for!  It shouldn’t feel like work at all and you should go to bed at night thinking I can’t wait to do more of this tomorrow!
2. Enjoy time with your family and friends.  Our society is more connected than ever through digital media that we have also become the most disconnected society at the same time.  Turn off the gadgets and BE with others.  (Of course, after you are done reading this email!)
3. S-T-R-E-T-C-H your dream muscles!  We are all meant to live abundant lives – in experiences and wealth.  Open your mind and heart to what sings to you and know when you DECIDE to bring it into your life, the universe will bring it to you..

A book that changed my life and got me living a different life was The Magic of Thinking BIG by David Schwartz.  If you want to write exciting stories and begin painting an amazing life for you and your loved ones, this is a good place to start.  You are in the drivers seat of your life my friends!  Turn the key and floor it!

I WON THE LOTTERY!! 

Do I have your attention?  Good!

On Friday, the Mega Millions Lotto Jackpot was the largest in its history!  $656 million!  Yet, believe it or not, that is not what (I believe) the BIG story is here.

What captured my attention more than the $$ is how everyone was talking about what they would do with the money.  Or, to put it in better terms … people were DREAMING!  This is what I heard people would do if they would win the lottery …

• Quit their job
• Pay off mortgage
• Pay off credit cards and school loans
• Golf, take a vacation and get a 2nd home
• Buy that dream sports car
• Donate to charity

EVERY day is the lottery my friends!

• You are a WINNER simply being alive and the PRIZE is each day.
• Choose your work or profession you want NOW and do what it takes to THRIVE not just survive.
• Earn the $$ you need to live in Financial Freedom, not to just pay your bills.
• Spend more TIME with those you love.
• GIVE to others and your receive more in return.

The odds of winning last week’s Mega Millions jackpot were 1 in 176 million.  The odds of winning YOUR jackpot in your life?  100% when you play the game of YOUR life EVERY day simply by the choices you make every day.

Money doesn’t buy you happiness, but it can provide you with CHOICES in your life.  Create your own JACKPOT in your life by choosing to WIN in who you are, what you do and the lives you change along the way.  ZERO luck required, just opportunity meeting someone with dreams and a desire to change lives and everyone wins!

To your continued success in your business and life every day,

I have been a network marketing professional since 1994 and I am grateful for the lessons I have learned and continue to learn.  Here are just a few … enjoy!

• This business will work for anyone if you will work the business
• Time and perseverance are required
• Prepare yourself for rejection
• You don’t have to hate your life (or job) to join
• Fundamental goal is to sign up customers for the service (product) and inspire others to do the same
• You can not only become rich, but you become enriched
• The most common denominator in this business is the “desire to do something different with your life”
• Money will never make you happy, but neither will being broke
• Success is simple, not easy
• A level playing field more than any other business
• 80% of those you bring into the business won’t do very much
• The path of success is helping others succeed
• Residual income is the greatest form of income
• Time and financial independence is freedom

Knowing the truth, the value and the choices network marketing provides, in my opinion our profession is the best career choice for any and all!

To your continued success in your business and life every day,
