Labels, Ideas, and Directions

You are a Champion!
Sometimes we are very proud of labels like Network Marketing, MLM, Democrat, Republican, Liberal, Conservative, etc. but often these labels serve no useful purpose.
For example, I’ve found myself lately when asked if I’m a Democrat or Republican saying, “I am an American.”
Labels are defining but they are also confining. In business [...]

Do Yourself a Favor

You are a Champion!
John C. Maxwell, Success One Day at a Time, wrote:
“A poor, hungry young man sat moping on a bridge, watching a group of fishermen.  Looking into a basket and seeing a bunch of fish nearby, the young man said, ‘Boy, if I had a mess of fish like that, I’d be in [...]

True Goals

You are a Champion!
We’ve all been to those sessions where someone asks us to write on one side of a piece of paper what we want and on the other side what we don’t want. Ever notice that many coaches, motivators, and authors are good at telling us “how” but they’ve never done it [...]

Talk About It

You are a Champion!
Product users and walkers don’t necessarily talk about your products or opportunity and that’s why our goal is “not” to become a household name. Of course, walkers will talk if they’ve had a bad enough experience.

Secondhand

You are a Champion!
Many of us have heard the story about Henry Ford paying his employees more than the going wage so that he would have a market (employees buying cars) for his standardized Model T.  In many respects, that’s what happens in Network Marketing because the customers are also building the business. And so, [...]

Don’t Take Rejection Personally

You are a Champion!
In fact, we are better off not to take rejection personally even if it is personal.
Richard Poe wrote this about taking rejection personally in his book Wave 3: “Many will say no.  Novices all too often take such rejections personally.  They immediately blame themselves or the opportunity.  But the successful network marketer [...]

Prisons without Bars

You are a Champion!
When women talk about “glass ceilings” it is not a figment of their imagination. When people sing the following song many are singing about a prison of flesh.

I’ll Fly Away
Alfred E. Brumley

Some glad morning when this life is o’er, I’ll fly away;
To a home on God’s celestial shore, I’ll fly away [...]
