"Every great leap forward in your life comes after you have made a clear decision of some kind."
- Brian Tracy
Making a decision can often be a point of relief. Just knowing what to focus on next can empower you to achieve new and greater goals.
But how often do you look back and second guess yourself?
We all make important decisions all the time. We make the best decision we can based on the information we have available to us. How we feel about our decision is determined not only by the outcome but also by the amount of time we consider other possibilities.
Looking back and asking "what if" may intrigue us. It can be fascinating to look back and imagine what might be different if we had made different decision. Because nothing is certain your imagination can provide an infinite series of could-have-beens.
Spending too much time here can undermine the value of the decision you actually made. Spending time thinking about "what if" keeps you from making the most out of the decision you have made. It cuts your commitment, hammers your discipline and softens your focus.
Rather than ponder the past and what could have been, snap yourself out and look to what you will do today to move you closer to your goal.
Why your prospects just don’t get it…
Do you ever wonder why your prospects just don’t get it?
One of the most common marketing frustrations I hear about all the time is how prospects just don’t get it.
In a typical situation a marketer has spent a lot of money and time promoting their business to generate a few inquiries. They send a few e-mails and even pick up the phone give the prospect a call but still have trouble getting them to join. What’s the deal?
Where do old websites go to die?
If yesterdays news is tomorrow birdcage liner, what happens to yesterdays websites?
I was looking through a 1999 version one of our Leaders Club online marketing resources pages that included FFA sites, Traffic Generation sites, safe-lists, ad sites and more.
Considering how these sites and strategies were promoted by gurus of the time as "the next big thing in marketing" I was curious to see how things panned out for them.
Who is pulling your cart?
In network marketing, a lot of people get the cart in front of the horse and wonder why things don’t work out for them.
In our case ‘marketing’ is the cart and ‘prospecting’ is the horse.
So many marketers fail in their marketing because there is nothing pulling the cart. In other words, they look to technology or someone else’s system or formula to make their business work.
Do You Have A Sherpa?
Isn’t it funny how you can get hooked on a TV program?
My wife and I have gotten into “Everest – Beyond the limit” on the Discovery Channel which chronicles a group of amateur mountain climbers and their attempt to reach the summit of the tallest mountain on the planet: Mt. Everest.
Now this has to be one of the most dangerous activities a human could attempt. Even in the best of conditions people die. Not just any people, people who have spent months even years preparing themselves. Some even have extensive climbing experience and still perish. So we’re not talking about a Sunday afternoon hike in the backcountry.
What does this have to do with network marketing?
