    Hello everyone, I have not posted for what seems like ages.

    I have just start in MLM. It's a bit like getting involved with JW's again but this time I am starting to earn money!

    Once a week we get emailed tips and motivation techniques.

    Some stuff might be of benefit to individuals on the board. Coming out of the Borg might have knocked you for six confidence wise!

    I hope will help You get back on track.................

    I believe there are three kinds of people. There are winners, who know
    what
    they want and understand their potential and the possibilities. They
    take
    life on. Next are losers, who don't have a clue as to who they are.
    They
    allow circumstances to shape their lives and their self-image.

    I believe there is a third group as well. This consists of potential
    winners
    whose lives are just slightly out of alignment. I call them wayward
    winners.
    It may be that they just need to learn how to be real winners. Perhaps
    they've hit a bump or two that has knocked them off course and they are
    temporarily befuddled. A failed relationship, a lost job, financial
    problems, unformed goals, a lack of parental support, illness... many
    things
    can send us off course temporarily.

    Wayward winners are not lost souls; they just need some tweaking and
    coaching and nudging to get them back on course. A map might be nice.
    Many
    of these wayward winners are easily identifiable because they are
    always
    searching.

    Right now, there are many wayward winners out there braving rain, sleet
    and
    snow because they too still believe that they have untapped talents.
    They
    attend motivational seminars and listen to inspirational tapes and they
    plunge onward, believing that sooner or later they will find their way
    again.

    Other wayward winners have temporarily given up. They are damaged and
    disoriented, their confidence badly eroded. They tend to drift through
    life
    numbly. The friends and relatives and loved ones of wayward winners see
    that
    they are out of sync and wonder why they can't be satisfied, why they
    don't
    settle down. They wonder how people who have such obvious abilities and
    great potential can be so disoriented and unsure.

    It is difficult for others to understand the rawness of a broken heart
    or
    the aching emptiness of an unguided spirit. You and I know. We have
    been
    there. Wayward winners know that there are possibilities out there, but
    too
    often they feel locked out from them. Some are afraid to risk any more
    because of what they have risked and lost already.

    I know now that as difficult as it may be for you wayward winners to
    do, it
    is necessary to continue to test yourselves. Even though you have been
    hurt
    before, it is the only way to grow. We all have the capacity to change,
    to
    lead meaningful and productive lives by awakening our consciousness.

    You know there are going to be tough times as you go about changing
    your
    life, so brace yourself and you will be able to handle them. When you
    get
    into your seat on an airplane, what is the first thing they tell you to
    do?
    Fasten your seat belt. Brace yourself for the turbulence.

    When you decide to move your life to the next level of accomplishment,
    you
    must fasten your mental and spiritual seat belts because it is going to
    be a
    while before you reach that comfortable level again. You will reach it,
    but
    you must endure the turbulence of change in order to grow.

    Try this technique to help you through the difficult times of change
    and
    growth. Find four reasons why you cannot succumb to your fears and your
    troubles. Find those deep sources of motivation that can lift you out
    of the
    turbulence and above the clouds. You must change your life because, for
    example:

    You have not yet tapped the talents given you.
    You want to leave something more for your children.
    You want to live life rather than letting life live you.
    You want to do what makes YOU happy.

    It is in these rocky early moments of bringing change to your life that
    you
    discover who you are. In the prosperous times, you build what is in
    your
    pocket. In the tough times, you strengthen what is in your heart. And
    that
    is when you gain insight into yourself, insight that leads to
    self-mastery
    and an expansion of your consciousness as a life force in both your
    personal
    and professional lives.

    inspire all you can." -- Pope John Paul, II

    "Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like
    that
    attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that." -- Bill
    Shankly

    "You have the ability, right now, to exceed all your previous levels of
    accomplishment." -- Brian Tracy


    Beliefs

    "If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in
    your
    work. Much of the best work of the world has been done against seeming
    impossibilities. The thing is to get the work done." -- Dale Carnegie

    "The greatest and noblest pleasure which we have in this world is to
    discover new truths, and the next is to shake off old prejudices." --
    Frederick II, the Great

    "An affirmation is simply a positive declaration of something you
    believe to
    be true or something you expect to become true and desire to live by.
    Affirmations transform your thinking, your attitudes, and finally, your
    behavior. Their impact on attitudes and behavior help to produce the
    results
    you desire." -- Paul J Meyer

    "Whatever you believe with emotion becomes reality. You always act in a
    manner consistent with your innermost beliefs and convictions." --
    Brian
    Tracy


    Career/Work

    "It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. In
    this
    life we get nothing save by effort." -- Theodore Roosevelt

    "Funny how employees who own stock in a company have a thousand times
    more
    pride in their job than those who don't. But please, don't take my word
    for
    it -- just ask baggage handlers on Southwest airline what the price of
    the
    stock is -- every one will know it. Now ask a baggage mis-handler at
    another
    airline what the price of their stock is today. Unfortunately the odds
    of
    his knowing are higher than the odds of his caring. Sad." -- Jeffrey
    Gitomer

    "Here's the major problem with going on strike for more money: You
    cannot
    get rich by demand." -- Jim Rohn

    "Do more than you are paid for. There are never any traffic jams on the
    extra mile." -- Brian Tracy

    Go for greatness

    Okay, cheeses, now not so quick with the submit button, stupid!

    Qwerty. You almost got it right with your assumption that there are three kinds of people.

    Three kinds of people - those who can count, and those who can't.

    cheeses - who will return with his experience of MLM.

    Years ago when I was still a jw, a good friend and brother (even better friend since he was DF'd before I 'resigned') presented to me the classic Amway invitation. I went to the meeting, but was left totally cold and uninterested in the proposal.

    Many years later, and long out of the truth, my wife was presented with an Omegatrend (Aussie MLM company) presentation, and we decided to give it a go, after falling victim to the promises of paid trips overseas, huge income etc, etc, etc.

    We went to the weekly meetings, signed up, and attended one of their regular conventions (or whatever they termed them). The whole procedure at this convention, at the weekly meetings, and with the one and only presentation we did with a friend, was so reminescent of the jw style of operation, that I was completely uncomfortable with the whole procedure. Motivational tapes, corporate/religious style slogans and phrases of encouragement, personal experiences. The similarities to the jw religion were frightening, and no amount of money would convince us to continue with this pyramid selling arrangement.

    Instead of god as their figurehead, greed and prominence were foremeost.

    cheeses - who would rather die a pauper than get tangled up in that sort of shit again.

    Four kinds of people....

    I'm one of the fourth kind...one who doesn't give a crap about motivational speakers and their money-making schemes.
