ARTArticleBest MLM Leads - Using a Blog to Find SuccessNow is not the time to be shy or humble. Go online and tell the world using a blog about your MLM achievement and produce some of your best MLM leads! There are many who will be interested in your MLM success and things you've learned. They even want to know about your failures and how you kept on working to find success! Once they get to know you and find out more about you, many of these will become your best MLM leads.
A blog can be one of your best MLM recruiting tools for for this reason: people want to know about you.ARTArticleBeyond The Measure Of Dollars And CentsOne of the greatest things about being involved in and around a motivational and sales training business that's oriented around The NEW Think and Grow Rich is all the actualization that comes, in addition to our prime target. For instance, when I go into an enterprise, my target may be to increase productivity, to increase sales. That's what we're normally focus on.
And I'll tell you, there are so many different nuances, so many different manners of thinking that you need to get into the subconscious mind-and so it's a real jazz doing it.ARTArticleBiblical Principles at Work in Your Financial LifeNever forget that helping others is a blessing both to the giver and the recipient. An integral part of anyone’s march to solvency and balance in their life should be helping others. Can you really benefit your community by only working for and thinking of yourself? With that being said, debt and poor personal financial management prevents you from helping anyone or any organization consistently and effectively.
Debt in and of itself is not wholly bad. The misuse of debt is what is really appalling.ARTArticleBlessings Behind Closed DoorsHave you ever faced disappointment over something that didn’t go the way you planned? Have you ever wanted something so badly but were unable to obtain it? More than likely the answer is “Yes.” Life, along with its great joys, is sometimes filled with moments of disappointment. It is our response to setbacks that determines our ability to overcome them and move forward. A wise person said that life is 10% of what happens to us, and 90% of how we respond to it.ARTArticleBook Review: Personal Development for Smart PeopleDespite promises of "fast and easy" results from slick marketers, real personal growth is neither fast nor easy. The truth is that hard work, courage, and self-discipline are required to achieve meaningful results-results that are not attained by those who cling to the fantasy of achievement without effort.ARTArticleBook Review: The Mind Map BookThe potential of the human brain is phenomenal, and Tony Buzan has been a pioneer in researching that potential and helping people learn how to make the most of their brainpower. The Mind Map Book is his most important and comprehensive book on the subject. It offers exciting new ways of using and improving memory, concentration, and creativity in planning and structuring thought on all levels, in order to accelerate the ability to learn, remember, and record information.ARTArticleBoring Minds, Boring LivesOver seventy years of psychological research proves conclusively that we live automatic lives. "Automaticity" is what psychologists call our extremely efficient ability to perform routine tasks without paying attention to them. Stop for a moment to reflect on how much attention you paid, this morning, to brushing your teeth, showering, shaving, walking or driving. Do you drive today the way you drove the first time you ever sat behind a steering wheel?
We learn our routine tasks in two ways.ARTArticleBrain and Heart Management for Better SuccessBrain and Heart Management for Better Success
Byr
Bill Cottringer
The lion’s share of success and failure is mostly due to how well we manage our brains and hearts—specifically how we learn, grow and improve the thinking and feeling which drives our behavior. Psychologists have never really explained the complicated process of thinking and feeling very well, notably as to which causes which and where one stops and the other starts. They are inter-twinned and seemingly inseparable but still called different things.ARTArticleBREAKING THE NEAR-IMPOSSIBLE CYCLE OF ADDICTIONBREAKING THE NEAR-IMPOSSIBLE CYCLE OF ADDICTION

Bill Cottringer
“In the course of history many more people have died for their drink and their dope than have died for their religion or their country.” ~Aldous Huxley.
A drop dead handsome, smart young man gets a good education and marries a beautiful, wealthy wife, goes to Hollywood and starts partying with the in-crowd and then starts an irreversible, painfully slow downhill slide to his casket with drugs and alcohol greasing the way.ARTArticleBridging the Gap on DifferencesThere is a reason you picked your partner, and there is a reason why you have friction in your relationship. The areas that are still unresolved are due to the inability to overcome the potentially meaningful challenges. If you are willing to take full responsibility for your life and make a decision that is in your own best interest then from here on out it must be with this purpose in mind.
Often couples wonder how they can make sense of their differences.ARTArticleBroadcast To The Many, Sell To The FewToday, you get a special marketing message from the insights of Ted Ciuba as a direct response marketer.
What does that mean? Basically, it means that I put the message out to the masses as much as I can—I want everybody to know what's happening. And then, those who respond I work with more deeply. I invest my time, money, emotions, and efforts with them.
It's the active utilization of the 80/20 rule. I already know when I wake up that 80% of the people I come into contact with aren't really going to have any interest in my message.ARTArticleBuilding a Winning Business TeamAnyone out there got the guts to do it? I mean, is anyone "brave" enough to create and lead a team of like-minded people towards the kind of exceptional business success that one only sees, if one is lucky, once in a career?
I've spent the last couple of weeks talking to and working with business people - I heard a lot of anecdotal evidence which proves the old adage that power corrupts and that absolute power corrupts absolutely. Highly placed executives falsifying new business projections whilst lining their pockets based on their lies.ARTArticleBuilding Common Sense“Success is what you get from using common sense; failure is what you get from using everything else.” ~The author.
Success is built on a firm foundation of good old common sense (which unfortunately isn’t so common these days); failure follows the crumbling of a weak foundation built on the lack of common sense. Sometimes it takes seconds and sometimes years to spot the differences. Are you serious about building a strong foundation of common sense that will sustain long term success that lasts years?ARTArticleBust Thru Your Prospects Email Overload and 7 Steps to Successful Cold CallingFirst off, it’s not your fault!
Have you ever heard impatient bosses ste
ly demand that their people get out there and “MAKE IT HAPPEN!“ … OR ELSE…? Or, perhaps maybe you’re that boss.
After all, as Peter Drucker so famously said, “Nothing happens until someone sells something.“ARTArticleBuying MLM Leads - Things To ConsiderYou know that good MLM leads are vital for the success of any network marketing business. Good leads end up not being just any leads. There are a number opportunity-seeking leads available that are not targeted specifically towards the area, gender, age bracket or product that you have. I have heard lots of stories about newbie marketers who have fallen prey to their up-lines’ prattle, only to understand that they have been completely taken advantage of.ARTArticleCall Them The “Gusts Of A Single Day”You can compare being successful with playing a game. Let's take a football game—whether American-style or soccer-style, it doesn't really matter. You know, that's a game where you have to be good to compete at the higher levels, and where you take it seriously.
And you know, the interesting thing about it is that the rewards we talk about for the winners are huge. The paybacks to the participants who don't win are really rather paltry, so you need to want to be on the winner's side. The same thing is true when you go and play Monopoly.ARTArticleCan You Fall In Love With Your Job?Let’s take a look at why you hate your present job to see if there’s ANY chance the situation can be salvaged. In this article I want to deal with 3 issues...
1. What’s Going On That Bothers You?
2. Why Does Your Job Bother You?
3. How You Can Change It
According to Gretchen Spreitzer, University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business – the three main reasons people are dissatisfied with their job are:
1. Their job has no meaning or purpose to them
2. It provides little opportunity to learn, or
3. It leaves them depleted at the end of the work dayARTArticleCarpe Diem RevisitedA caricature I saw recently depicted these big, fat gluttons, each with a big ol' turkey leg in one hand and a big ol' glass in the other—obviously obese people. They were smiling… and you know how those people have legs that don't even look normal because their bodies are so big? I looked at it and thought, "Carpe Diem, seize the day!"
I looked at it and thought, "That's gluttony." Now, I realize it's a caricature, but it applies to life.ARTArticleCHANGE FOR LIFE... or Pay thePrice!Human beings are creatures of habit. We seek the things we want with the least possible disruption to our lives; hence we tend to resist change. The choice is straightforward - make a positive change for life... or pay the price!
As management guru Tom Peters once put it: "Change is disruptive . . . But it doesn't make any difference. You gotta do it anyway. We're in an era where, literally, to learn to love change is the only survival course."ARTArticleChange is Unsettling. Sure, but ....Changes can be unsettling. Honestly, they can be so scary they literally paralyze you in your tracks. Yet, without change we never achieve growth in our lives, careers, or relationships.
Recently I was faced with emergence of changes in the area of my career and whether to sell our home of 14 years. It wasn’t a decision made ove
ight, and even once I made the decision to leave my corporate job and too eventually sell my home it still wasn’t all together easy to embrace the idea of these significant changes.ARTArticleChange Management: From Survival to ThrivalManaging change effectively involves managing mindset. Where your mind is set determines if change is scary and 'hard' or exciting and 'easier'. I don't want to imply that change will be without discomfort, but it doesn't have to be downright painful.
How you see it - perception - matters. 'Survival of the fittest' is a pervasive perception that drives us into our survival brain. I don't think there is anything primitive about our amazing brain, yet there are evolutionary levels of engagement that impact our behaviors in everyday life.ARTArticleChange Your Life – Starting TodayIf you’ve got everything that you want out of life and want for nothing at all, in any aspect of your life, do not read this article. Everyone else – read on! From my experience in dealing directly with clients for the last fourteen years, or through my online workshop, I reckon everyone else includes almost everyone. Ask yourself these simple questions: Are you 100% happy with yourself? Do you absolutely adore your job? Have you more than enough money? Are you as fit, trim and healthy as you really would love to be?ARTArticleChange Your Life : It’s About the Choices You Make TodayPerhaps you’re stressed out – or you’ve had enough of your awful boss. Maybe you’re overweight and simply haven’t had the staying power to shed those pounds. Maybe you’re lonely – looking for friendship or a relationship but you freeze every time you’re in company. Perhaps you almost collapse every time you have to stand up in front of an audience to make a presentation – or are getting more and more frustrated by the way you shout at your children when you know that you don’t mean to.ARTArticleChanging the FuturePerhaps you’ve asked yourself how can we raise the vibrational level of everyone in order to lift ourselves to a fifth dimensional level? Well it’s actually much easier than you can imagine—so easy that many will not believe it can be so simple.
If you can imagine a huge ladder going all the way up to the sky and everyone on earth is on that ladder—some are on the top rungs and many more are on the lower rungs. When we do shift to the lower degrees of the fifth dimension, THE WHOLE LADDER GOES with everyone on it!ARTArticleChanging Your Subconscious ProgrammingRecently, I was talking to fellow entrepreneur, Wendy Robbins, about autosuggestion, one of the more powerful principles I teach in The NEW Think and Grow Rich.
Principle #11 teaches that the thinking The NEW Think and Grow Rich philosophy is based on is complete and throughout your whole corpus—it doesn't just include your conscious mind, it includes your subconscious mind, too.
In fact, it's your subconscious mind that really determines your actions, more than your conscious mind does.ARTArticleChoose Happines and SuccessWhat kind of a day are you having today? Because, it doesn't matter what day of the week it is - Monday or Friday - it's a beautiful day. If you're not having your perfect day today, then you're wasting the only opportunity you have right now to be effortlessly happy and successful - doesn't matter where you are, who you're with or separated from, what you've got to do - it's you that makes it a beautiful day.ARTArticleClarity Takes CourageClarity is powerful and is a primary ingredient to performing at your best. It is poorly understood and generally not a feature of most people's strategies. Why? Because we are too busy being busy. We take pride in taking "massive action."ARTArticleCome As You AreTake a good look at yourself. Accept yourself as you are in this moment. What you might feel are flaws, are not. They make up who you truly are. Regardless if you are tired and weary or if you are rambunctious and a go-getter, it is who you are. Accept your strengths and weaknesses. Accept the things that you long to learn and improve upon them.
Rich or poor, come as you are. Know that you have no limitations except the ones that you put upon yourself. Be comfortable in your own skin. Learn to listen to your own voice of reason and drown out all doubt that others might speak.rARTArticleCome Walk with MeCome walk with me dear child, just for a little while. You see, you haven’t been yourself, I can see it in your eyes. What use to be a caring soul has turned just a little-bit colder? Your bright smile always lit up a room, it’s been awhile. You don’t have to say anything, just let me speak my mind.rARTArticleCommittment And DemonstrationIn our human knowledge base it is a proverb that what it takes to accomplish any goal is to be committed to that accomplishment. This wisdom is spoken by mountain climbers, sports figures, all great moms and dads, joyful partners, successful CEOs, inventors, great writers, the list of achievers is endless, and their commitments are clear. Their commitments are so clear because their results match up with what they are committed to.
