Follow ONE Course Until Successful

Today I want to write about one of my biggest demons. I'm sure I am just like many others out there. We come into this profession, network marketing, with high hope, dreams and real faith. The next thing that happens to most of us is the big NOTHING. Nothing works. Nobody wants to join. Nobody wants to talk to us anymore. We wind up in the NFL. We will never get a Superbowl ring in this NFL.
What do we do next?
We start looking. We want to find out how this whole deal works. We have been bitten by the MLM bug. We crave that residual income. We want it so bad for our families that we will never quit. Well some of us will never quit. Some do. They quit and give up on their freedom. They give up on their family's freedom. Who can blame them. But the others won't quit. We find so much out there that it first results in total confusion. Then, what does the confused mind do? Anyone? Come on you know the answer.
EXACTLY. The answer is NOTHING! A confused mind will do absolutely nothing.
Then what happens is a few of the things we saw fade out and we aren't so confused anymore. Now we get busy trying them all. We try this system to recruit 20-25 people a month. Wait that's not enough. If it works why can't we do 20-25 a week. I saw another system that I can do that with. Wow this is going to be great. I can just see all that money pouring into my bank account. Can't you? But wait this brand new deal is now in pre launch and you don't have to do diddly squat. "Man oh Man this one is perfect.".................etc.etc.etc.

When its all said and done, the only direction money has flowed in regards to our bank account is? You know the answer.

That's when a few more of us quit. Again who could blame them. This sucks. I thought mlm was supposed to be fun. That's what my sponsor told me. At least, the last time I spoke to him. When was that? Oh never mind. It doesn't matter. Who needs him anyway.

Then along comes a sign. It truly is like a sign from above. And believe it or not it doesn't even cost me any money. "Whew" Good thing. I'm just about out anyway. But guess what. It is not going to cost me any money but, yes the dreadful but, it will cost me time. Time I definitely have. It is refreshing to finally find people willing and able to hold my hand and believe in me even after I've just about quit believing in myself. Any yes my family has quit believing in me a long time ago. But these people do believe in me. I hope they realize what they've gotten themselves into.

First lesson is "Quit looking at all that 'STUFF' out there". You now have a system. People fail, successful systems DON'T. But the MOST IMPORTANT thing is you must stop chasing your tail. Follow the system. Follow the system. Follow the system. Questions? Follow the system.

I have yet to not get a call back. Even when I left no message. That never happened before. "The only stupid question is the one you don't ask." How refreshing is that?

You ask "What is the POINT here?" Follow One Course Until Successful. Don't chase your tail. Don't jump on the NEXT BIG THING. It will simply be the NEXT BIG FLOP. Save yourself years of failure and frustration. Download and READ the free ebook that has saved my future.

The Two Types of Goals

What is the definition of goal.

Yahoo dictionary says it is: The purpose toward which an endeavor is directed; an objective.

I personally think that a goal is what someone wants to accomplish. More importantly, it is How someone is going to accomplish it.
You see there are two types of goals.

There are Outcome goals.

There are also Process Goals.

You first have the outcome goal:
The outcome goal is the final destination you want to reach. Think of it in terms of golf. Every golfer wants to put the ball in the hole. That is an outcome goal. In our network marketing business the outcome goal is financial freedom, retirement without worry and things of that nature. These types of goals are important to have. However, these type of goals we ultimately do not have any control over.

Next you have the process goals.

The process goals are the ones that we have actual control over. Again think of it in terms of golf. You have a goal of making a smooth swing or can maybe have a goal of making a smooth balanced swing every shot. That is a goal that we have control over. Where the ball lands we ultimately do not have control over. If you think about it in terms of network marketing, We can't control how much money we wind up with or how much freedom we wind up with. We can't control who say's yes. Who say's no. How many no's we get. We can't control how many hits we get. I can't say how many opt-ins i'll get. I can't control any of that.

So What Can We Control?

We can control how many phone calls we get on. We control how many phone calls we make. How many articles we write. How many articles we publish. Where we publish them. How many per week we publish. Getting the drift? These are all process goals that we can set for ourselves. These process goals we have complete control over. These process goals are what is going to ultimately determine how much we wind up with in the end. How much of our outcome goal we reach.

In conclusion, I would just like to say, setting goals is one of the most important parts of having a network marketing business. Writing those goals down is also a very important part of having a network marketing business. Let me rephrase that, these are very important characteristics toward having a successful network marketing business. So please take it to heart. Set those process goals and write them down. Set goals that you can achieve. If you achieve enough process goals, you can achieve your freedom goal. You can acheive all that your heart desires.

I hope this helps.

Now, go write down some goals.

Best to you all,

Charles Larkin

A Truly Inspirational Sight

Life and people never cease to amaze and inspire me to become a better person.

What I just witnessed may not seem like much to some but it truly made me feel better about mankind.
As I was waiting at a traffic light, I noticed a car that had stalled out and could not power itself up a small incline into the apartments its occupants were going to. Two men got out and began to push it up the incline and were having a noticeably difficult time. Then from behind a BMW, yes a BMW, and not an ugly one either, pulled up behind it and the two men moved aside. The BMW proceeded to touch bumpers and pushed the older, less new, much less attractive stalled vehicle up the incline and into a parking stall. He then turned around without any fanfare and proceeded on his way down the road. I don't know this for a fact but it appeared that the BMW owner did not even know the men in the stalled car. He simply saw fellow human beings in need and sacrificed his time and potentially his beautiful car to help them in their moment of severe need.
I hope this will inspire someone out there to take the time to help someone in their moment of great need. If it does then that wonderful person in that beautiful BMW will have helped many more people than he will ever know.
God bless that man and this great country.
Now go help someone.

Twitter help

I was introduced to a pretty neat site that helps you with increasing your Twitter followers. It is http://www.twellow.com/. It allows you to search the type of person on twitter you want to follow. You select which type and be sure to put twitter in the box on the left. I also learned how to put in auto replies when someone follows you. Just go to http://www.tweetlater.com/. Make sure you put your web address in the reply message. It will increase your traffic. I haven't used it long enough to know how well it works but it is worth the try. They are both free too. Which helps with the duplication. Free is always duplicable.

Best to you,

My day today.

I helped a lady protect her family from the financial devastation of paying for her funeral and final expenses when they don't have the money. Now they will have $10,000 to take care of it.
I love helping people.
I also made several post in BetterNetworker.com. They had some great post today. These were some I could really relate to. I'll paste one here. It is a story most people can relate to.

"NAILS IN THE FENCE"

Make sure you read all the way down to the last sentence.

(Most importantly the last sentence)

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all.

He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.

The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence.

He said, ' You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. But It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound will still be there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. Remember that friends are very rare jewels, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share words of praise and they always want to open their hearts to us.'

This is a story I saw, and was inspired by, at BetterNetworker.com. Find it here: http://tinyurl.com/c7ayj3


That story sure makes me think of all the times I've lost my temper and said some mean things. Forgiveness may come but forgetfulness never arrives. Does anyone out there relate?
