During these tough economic times, it’s more crucial than ever to protect your attitude and keep a “forward-thinking-mindset.” We sometimes see people panic and react impulsively to what would otherwise be insignificant events in better circumstances. Things seem to take on a heightened sense of impact based on a heightened level of uncertainty, leading to a downward spiral of negativity which is difficult to extricate yourself from.

As a leader, it’s of the utmost importance to remind people that while times are certainly challenging, tough times don’t last, but tough people do. We should try and understand that there will be a time down the road when things will be back on track and what frightens people now will be virtually unnoticeable at that future time. Furthermore, for those people with the courage to recognize real opportunities, this is a period from which great fortunes will be made and success stories will be written.


With that said, in order to capitalize on these times, you need to understand that Leadership is the key. Leading by example, moving forward with boldness and seeing the positive in every situation is extremely important. Keep in mind that you have the opportunity and have everything you need to improve your situation and help other people improve theirs. That is what this industry allows you to do; change and affect the lives of the people you care about and serve. Develop the mindset and outlook that you will emerge from this present world-wide malaise in a position of leadership and even in a position of dominance in your company and in your industry.

The secret is to protect your attitude at all cost and regardless of circumstance. We should attempt to avoid and eliminate anything that places fear and anxiety in our path. The television news, the newspaper, gossip, negative people, anyone or anything that causes negativity must be limited or completely removed in order to protect the most precious things you can control — how you think, feel and your attitude in general. Never forget that people want to be around and follow excited, motivated, positive people and avoid negative, frustrated, down people. I once heard that people may root for underdogs, but what they really want is to follow “top dogs.”


Protect your attitude, be a great leader and someone people want to follow — “a top dog.” The world needs you to be that way, now more than ever!

Here is a great article written by Jenny Wudtke regarding residual income, life with no limits. It is an incredible feeling of freedom. Here is what Jenny has to say.

Seriously, are you willing to go through a wall of fire for residual income? I love meditating on thoughts of life with no limitations. Long-term profits that never quit! A friend once said, Jenny, Network Marketing is like taking a boulder and with much effort and strain, rolling it up a mountain. You are going to work up a sweat and it’s going to be difficult at times. You will struggle and grow weary Jenny, they don’t call it NetWORK Marketing for no reason. But when you reach the point that this baby starts to move full speed, there will be a powerful force in play that cannot be suppressed. The best part is when your team is growing and your business is snowballing, there is no possible way anything could stop it at that point! Sweet residuals! Ongoing, continuous dividends that will carry forward, leaving a legacy for our children’s children.

The best part about this amazing journey is that I can focus all my efforts on building people, living a life that centers around helping others to fulfill their true fate. This is where definite abundance is born! How bad do you want it? How intense is your desire? These are all questions that I have been asking myself, pondering and really giving deep thought to these days. I have never felt so much emotion, so much conviction toward my dream. Are you willing to do whatever it takes to achieve every specific detail of your destiny? We are supposed to live life to the fullest, right? To truly take in the power of now, cherishing each moment along the way in this journey to Owning Your Life. Is it worth it?  Is your burning desire so strong that you can literally see yourself living your dreams NOW? Can you feel the feelings that thrives from within when we are able to convince our subconscious mind that we are already there? This is when it gets exciting!

It all starts with our thoughts. Isn’t it great that we have the power to control those thoughts? Thoughts mixed with a definite purpose, blended with persistence, infused with a heated passion will indeed transpose into complete abundance and prosperity! Sounds like a brilliant recipe, doesn’t it. Easy to do?  Of course, but the problem is that it’s also easy not to do.  Because it is just as easy not to do, the majority of the people don’t do it. Is that why 95% are floundering, achieving very little success in their current Network Marketing Business?

How do we acquire a real belief in our purpose and plan? If a person is lacking belief, can it be learned? One very effective tool that has been tremendously effective for me is the spoken word mixed with intense emotion and deep feeling that in turn develops a deeply rooted belief system. I Believe therefore my faith progresses and crystallizes into absolute faith. Remember, faith is the strongest and most productive of the emotions. Since recently discovering the power in auto suggestion, I finally have the confidence in knowing that I can and will achieve every detail of whatever the mind can conceive.

Keep on keeping on, no matter how hard the going may be! Know with full certainty that this journey of learning experiences, some good, some bad, are all necessary to move through in order to prepare us for where we are right now! That’s right, you and I are right where we are suppose to be at this exact time. I had to learn my best lessons going through the wilderness. There was no going around. I look back on the chapters of my life and it was when I faced the most difficult challenges that life could throw me, was when God was breaking me for His perfect plan.

Let’s talk about that awesome plan. Is it worth it? If you didn’t have to worry about time or money, what would you do? What will this mean to your life? How could you impact the world if you had a walk-away income of $10,000.00 per month or more coming into your household? How would you live your life? If there were no limits on what you could do, what would be the details and designs of your plan? Remember, nothing becomes dynamic, until it becomes specific!

It’s worth it my friends. It’s all worth it! The bruises, the scrapes the scars left behind, they are worth going through, to be Free and have choices!

Remember, In Networking coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, working together is success.

Here is a great article entitled: Blogs, Search Engines,Yahoo, MSN..How to get Indexed. The article was written and posted by Ana Hoffman and has a wealth of information that can benefit everyone.

Here is an easy and absolutely free trick you can use to get your new blog indexed by Yahoo and MSN.

Believe it or not, these two search engine behemoths (and not just them) will almost instantly (sometimes within 48 hours or less) index your blog the second one of your visitors includes your blog RSS feed in their search engine specific account.

For instance, Yahoo will spider your RSS feed and blog when a visitor of yours includes your feed into their personal Yahoo account. Once that happens, Yahoo will do this within 48 hours – an amazingly short time for such a fit, wouldn’t you agree?

To top it off, this process doesn’t cost you a penny.

You can further speed up the process by subscribing to your own feed in your My Yahoo! Account.

Before you do it, make sure you have 3 things:

#1. an account with Yahoo! (duh…),

#2. your RSS feed URL (it will look something like this http://feeds.feedburner.com/YournetbizAttractionMarketingCafe),

#3. and a good amount of posts in your blog (after all, you do not want anybody to come to an empty blog).

Once you are ready, log into your account and immediately after you are logged in, look for an ‘Add Content’ button.

On the next page you will see a search box, to the right of which there will be a link titled ‘Add RSS by URL.’ I am sure you know what to do from here.

As a final step though, make sure your feed was added correctly. You can do so by going to the front page of your account; your feed should be listed closer to the bottom of the page.

Wasn’t this easy?

Now, you can do the same with MSN. The steps you will take will be almost identical to those above, so I won’t bore you with repetition.

That’s all there is to it!

Now every time you create a new blog, make sure you add the feed to both your Yahoo and MSN accounts for quick and painless, and best of all, free indexing.

If you like what you’ve read, please post a comment and retweet – it will be much appreciated!

You Can’t Handle the Truth in the above saying comes from a popular movie about courage and honor. So how does comparing a home-based business opportunity to courage and honor have anything to do with your thinking? Can you handle the truth? Are your thoughts killing your chances?  Have you ever dreamed of doing something, but thought you couldn’t?  That’s called “stinkin’ thinkin’!”

Honesty in business is often a vital prerequisite for success, but the type of honesty that is being discussed here is not cash register honesty. It is honesty about your daily thoughts and feelings. It is honesty about your beliefs, dreams and desires. It is honesty about your actions, habits and how they affect your business and financial decisions.

You have heard it said, you are what you think. Are you honest about your basic feelings and beliefs? Are they helping you or are they helping you commit financial suicide? Are your thoughts (stinkin’ thinkin’) killing your dreams?

The thought of monitoring your thinking and habits as to your overall welfare might be an unusual idea for you. You may go about life without ever stopping to listen to the inner self talk or chatter that is going on continually most of your waking hours.

Yet it is this crucial self talk that holds the promise of success or failure in most of your business and personal activities. How is that?

Here are some things to think about:

1) There is a pathway from your thoughts to the events that happen in your life.
2) This path of manifestation begins with your daily thoughts. They are the thoughts you are habitually thinking.
3) These thoughts may be running in a continuous stream of mind chatter that you are totally unaware of. They may even be thoughts you did not put there!
4) When you continue to tell yourself over and over again that you feel or think a certain way, that you can do this or that. You have put in motion the means to a self-fulfilling prophecy.
5) Your subconscious mind picks up on these repetitive commands and goes into action to make them a reality.
6) When you continually think and feel a certain way, you set up your belief system which dictates your behavior and actions.
7) Once these habits are in place, your power is directed toward attaining those beliefs and desires. In other words, you become what you think.

So how does this apply to Network Marketing business honesty?

If you are not honest about your habitual thinking, you will find it difficult to set goals and attain them. You will not know why you are doing things over and over again and not getting the results you desire. You will not have any clear goals or direction that produce a smooth and consistent path. You will find your attention drawn toward possibly wasting time, money and effort and wondering why you are not having the success you desire.

This is not being said to be harsh, negative or pessimistic.

The main point of this article is to help you examine your thoughts and beliefs in such a way as to guarantee your success!

You may find that the greatest challenge in any endeavor is not the task, goal or mechanics of attainment but the conquest of your own belief system. So if you are struggling in your Network Marketing business opportunity look first to invest in yourself.

Spend time everyday building your knowledge base. Spend time associating either through books, tapes, videos, social media interactions or even personal face to face talks with successful people who demonstrate the qualities you are looking for.

Create an environment that you can be passionate about. Create the burning desires that will easily hold your attention and excite your mental chatter toward your dreams and goals. Align yourself with like-minded people and know that whatever you can think and believe, you can achieve!

Here’s an article on what successful network marketing Business owners have learned to become successful. So your parents told you what their parents told them and their parents told them and so on for several generations. Get good grades in school so you can get a good job. Be loyal and work hard and you can retire one day and live the good life. The better you do in school, the better job you will get and the better you do at your “better” job the better your retirement will be.

So the master plan is to work for someone else for 40+ hours per week for 30+ years and then retire. The problem with that plan is if your results are not what you expected, there is no way to switch to a better one after you realize it. The hard fact is only about 5% of those who follow that plan actually wind up with enough of a retirement check to live with no assistance.

All you have to do is go down to the local old folks home and make some friends and ask about it. You will find that the plan didn’t work for most and the ones it did work for made it happen on their own. They didn’t work for someone else’s dream. They worked for themselves. They made it happen because they took the initiative to go for it.

Today with the Internet, there are many opportunities out there for those that want to take their own initiative. But you will have to learn what they didn’t teach you in school. In school they teach what you will have to know if you want to be a schoolteacher, secretary, business adminstrator, all of the thing so you can work for someone else. What they don’t teach you is how to make money. There are many stories throughout the past that support that statement.

Do you think Henry Ford was a smart man? He practically put our country on wheels by building the first automobile factory and mass producing them. Yet he never went to college and never even reached high school. That alone tells you that the education you learn in school has little to do with how much money you can earn. It goes both ways though.

There are very educated people out there who are earning next to nothing and people like Henry Ford who are earning millions even though they didn’t finish school. Those people have learned how to make money and that is what successful home based business owners do. They commit to being all in and they take the initiative to make it happen.

There are many people who try and fail at this industry too. But one of the main reasons for that are the methods that are used to get them to join. Many sponsors out there will try to sign up everyone they can in the hopes that some of them will stick. They tell prospects what amounts to lies that lead to false expectations. But sponsors that do this will not be successful in the long run because they will have to continually keep adding people to replace the drop outs.

Every income leader in this industry can show you an extensive library and will tell you they are continually taking training courses and spending money on their education. But instead of learning English, math, or history, they are learning how to recruit, set up sales funnels, and create products that train others or can be used to make money.

There are many home business owners out there but only a few are really successful. Those are the ones that didn’t stop their training with their sponsors “old school” offline methods. They took the initiative to learn proper marketing techniques and to increase their value as a leader by working on personal development.

Differences in old school marketing tactics and modern  Marketing Tactics are staggering. Methods that may seem ludicrous in traditional marketing actually work when you do business online.

Changing the color of your testimonial headlines to red could increase conversions. Wait, RED? Red will make my eyes bleed! When I read the newspaper, I even avoid the red letters because they give me headaches! Well, get a load of this: Studies showed that placing a red headline on all testimonials increased conversions 34%. Who would have known that such a simple change can create that much difference?

Okay, we know font size helps in visibility to all Internet users. How about changing the font itself?  Although it is a well known fact that fonts with feet like Times New Roman are more appealing, but only on print. Online, it’s a different arena. Are you ready for it? Changing your body text to Arial 12 point showed a 31% – 36% increase in readability. Wow, and we’ve been using serif fonts all our online lives. Think of the possibilities if we knew this when we started out!

In online Network Marketing 101, we are taught that the post script or P.S. is the second thing the readers look at after reading our sales letter, next to the headline. A simple addition will do wonders for our conversion rates. Those who made a study about this found that placing a testimonial below their P.S. message(s) increased conversions 19%! All that just by copying and pasting your testimonies? You don’t even have to type new text!

Old school techniques dictate that reducing the amount of choices lead to more sales because your Network Marketing customers don’t have to think much on which offer they take. What if you ignore that wisdom and give them more choices? Won’t that make it difficult for them to choose? Wrong! Making your customers choose instead of forcing them on one option lead to increase in conversion up to 32%! Maybe it’s the power you give them over their choice, the feeling that they are the masters of their fate, who knows?

So, the Internet made things easier for all of us. Everything is just a click away. What if I told you that old school phone orders via an 800 number instead of that “Buy Now” button increase your conversions 30%? Don’t believe me? That 30% is kind of hard to pass up. Try it.

What we learn from all this is that we should keep looking for changes to make to our Network Marketing site. The little things that mean a difference – and we should always find ways to keep them coming back, would you agree?

Here’s an article on 3 Marketing Secrets That Will Explode Your Business. The Internet has been around for quite some time now, but there have been some recent developments in the online world in the last few years that have brought marketing online to a whole new level. For starters, there are more qualified, working class people that are using the Internet to network, keep in touch with their friends and do business. This phenomenon has lead to the explosion in social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and Squidoo, just to name a few.

Also, more than ever, people are starting to realize that the Internet is a great place to market their Network Marketing business. They are able to reach a global audience, they can truly work from home, and they can use tools online to leverage their time which is just not available in offline marketing strategies. But, bringing your Network Marketing business onto the Internet does have its fair share of challenges as well.

Being as diverse and massive as the Internet is, most newbie Network Marketers have no idea where to start and most have no idea what they are doing. There are way too many that spend countless hours on the computer without really doing anything productive. Some can only generate a few leads, and most don’t really turn a profit.

So here are three tips that you can use right away to really understand how to grow your Network Marketing Business properly on the Internet.

#1. Learn To Master Different Marketing Platforms

It is essential that you get proper training on the different places that you wish to market your business on. So for example, if you have researched or decided that Facebook is one of the marketing platforms that you would like to use to grow your business on, then become a Facebook marketing pro. There is no point having 5,000 friends if you have no idea how to monetize them or turn them into leads.

Remember that marketing is a skill. And just like any skill it requires education and practice. So make sure you get the right training by becoming a member of a system, or by following mentors online who know what they are doing. Thinking that you can figure it out yourself is possible, however, it can take a lot of time and most people fail miserably.

#2. Pick Two or Three Strategies To Focus On

After you have identified the marketing strategies you wish to pursue, pick two or three and get really good at them. Learn every aspect of each platform and tweak them until you can crank out a satisfactory number of leads from them every single day. There is no point using 10 strategies and spreading yourself too thin. This way you will not be able to gain traction in any of them and will probably leave you frustrated and broke.

#3. Be Consistent

Once you are working on those marketing strategies, make sure you put in consistent effort and stay the course. There is no point posting one article on one site once a week! That will yield you zero results. Instead you should be posting articles every single day in the 20 or so article sites that you have identified. And remember that results do take time to blossom. So be consistent and take action every day.

By using these three methods and realizing that it was essential to become a marketing expert in certain areas of the Internet, it really helped my business and I started getting the results I wanted.

The best resource I’ve found is the Edge Marketing System that teaches you how to automate many of your day-to-day functions of your business and offers total training on using the Internet to build your business. Things like article marketing, keyword usage and social networking skills of working with people, so that you get better and better and your people can plug into exactly the same system, making it far easier for you to help them.
