Are You Selling or Promoting?

It seems that daily I encounter a new sales person who has just started with the best company in the world. Their company has a compensation plan that is the best in the industry, their products/service are second to none and they are EXCITED!

Because I invest a considerable amount of time in various networking events this often happens when I am meeting these people in person for the first time. However, the same holds true for the Internet. Being separated by several thousand miles of Internet is not going to discourage this new and excited business owner.

To make matters worse, many of us grew up with the perception that being in sales was somehow a bad thing, or that sales people could not be trusted.

The real truth of the matter is

Build Financial Security by Following some Simple Guidelines

The Importance of Visualization in Your MLM Business

As many of you know I picked up the classic “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” and began reading with a new perspective on the process. For any of you that have read this must read classic you may recall that very close to the beginning Stephen R.

However, in the process of

Unless you have been hiding under a rock somewhere you are well aware of the fact that our country and much of the world are having significant challenges with the economy. Combined with these challenges are the losses of thousands upon thousands of jobs.

If you happen to be one of those affected by the loss of a job, let me say that I am sorry for your loss and the challenges that it will present. However, if you are willing to
