My THOUSAND Dollar experiment

One of the exercises recommended by a book I have read recently is to make a log of how you would spend $1000 in one day and add $1000 to each day with a goal of spending that virtual money by the end of the day. I started to do this at the beginning of this year and got away from it, so I am going to have fun and play with it here. I promise I will try to keep it short, but it will be increasingly harder to cut short as the money gets bigger! It will be fun nonetheless. Today, I am going to spend the money on some new audio equipment so that I could make better audio sound bytes for my business.
What do you desire with your virtual thousand dollars? Give this exercise a try and see if it changes your financial situation! I will let you know what happens!

Dashing thru the snow...

Snow driving....gosh it has been snowing a lot today. I was driving in the snow today, the roads were really bad and I noticed that there were all sorts of tracks on the road. Some of the tracks were swerving this way and that, but I kept diligently plowing forward, my focus on the road ahead and my destination on my mind. It occurred to me that I could have followed the path that was swerved or I could strike a new path by keeping on my straight path. Eventually, enough people would drive straight like I guided my car, and make a new path in which others could follow. I have to say, though, that the icy snow made me crave the smoothness of the dry road that I take advantage of whenever I drive it. The absence of the dry road truly made me appreciate it so. How many times in our lives do we despise the obstacles in our lives when perhaps they were there simply to make us realize the treasures we have in our everyday lives. One thing that is absent from most of my daily life is silence. I have come to cherish it so, having 7 kids. I remember when I was young, the thought of silence made me cringe. I did not realize that the noise in my head was so loud, that silence seemed scary. I remember thinking people that made silent retreats were insane. Now, I see why they participate in them. So, in the end, the snow became a reminder of how nice it is to drive on dry ground. It made me think about how we, in our lives could strike a straight path in our lives for others to follow by focusing on what is important, keeping on a diligent, consistent course of living and appreciating what we have in our lives. I am happy to be helping others on their way.

All the best always,

Must we?

I lost it today...
I was looking through my old training, in my not so successful days of network marketing (in my own eyes) and I found it. Poor training.
Ok, it WAS free, but I gave of my time to see it and my time is worth money. I'm sure yours is too.

Looking at it made me really mad.

I should say more frustrated than mad.

Have you ever heard this before?

MAKE A LIST OF YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
MAKE IT 100, NO 200, BETTER YET 300!!
BUILD, BUILD, BUILD!!
or better yet,
YOU ARE ONE RECRUIT AWAY FROM AN EXPLOSION!

Should I duck? The only thing that is about to explode is my patience from lack of success!!! Taking the time to dedicate to that kind of training is almost like doing busy work because you are procrastinating from doing things which your upline told you to do, but you KNEW was NOT working. Here you are at your phone and it weighed 1,000 pounds because your upline is telling you to convince an artist to learn how to be a sanitation worker! Now, wait a minute, you might say, "I never heard anyone say that!" but when you are trying to convince someone to do something that they are not interested in doing, it is like trying to convince an artist to paint with leftover mashed potato! It's not happening. The worst thing is, the poor network marketer does not realize that they are trapped into doing a job the wrong way that will mostly lead them into failure. Yes, some of them will have just the right words to convince the artist that they NEED to paint with the ketchup remains from an almost finished bottle of ketchup, but most people think it is ridiculous themselves and give up rather easily. Besides, the artist can hear and FEEL the energy of the person who is trying to do the convincing! The energy coming from the other side of the phone is weak, even if the person's voice may sound upbeat. The artist knows that they are being sold a bill of goods! There is not much the networker could do...and to boot, they feel like it is all their fault and with good reason, they AVOID the phone...wouldn't you? You would avoid it like the plauge. How successful do you think this networker is after they go to their weekly meeting, see networker Sam have some good success, get motivated, get the courage to pick up the 1,000 pound phone and try all over again? Not very successful, huh? Then we wonder why people give up so easily. What's a person to do? FIND a NEW way! Change the rhythm of the beat! Find a way that works. That is what I do. I help others find a way to march to the beat of a different drum. It feels good to help others and to teach them that the old way of looking for those artists who have no interest in painting with trash is no longer necessary. Instead, I can help them look in places where they could find the budding sanitation engineers. They do make a decent wage, but I personally couldn't stand the smell.
All the best!
