The Timing of Change
It is always tempting to make changes at the beginning of the year. After all, it seems like a logical time to think about doing something different. But is that really the case? Sure, we can all think of things we would like to change about our lives, but is the beginning of the year the time to make those changes? If it is such a great time to make changes, why do so many people fail to keep the resolutions they make? The beginning of the New Year comes with a lot of pressure.

Is This Your Time for a Fresh Start?
We have all had it happen. We put a lot of time and effort into something, but it just doesn’t seem to be working. Deep down, we know it probably will never work, but we have a really hard time letting go. More often than not, in addition to the time and effort, we may have also put in at least some amount of money. We get into this mind set of “getting our money’s worth.” The truth is that once the money is spent, it is gone and no amount of effort will bring it back. Maybe it is time to evaluate what you have been doing and whether or not is working for you.

Are You Staying Focused ?
Today I start with a quote. “Lay hold of today's task and you will not depend so much upon tomorrow's.” Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4B.C.–65A.D.) Roman philosopher and statesman Spring is almost here. You can feel it in the air. With spring all kinds of reasons to put off working your business come to light. It is just too nice out to work is a particularly favorite among those of us who have been stuck inside for the last six months of this endless winter.

"You Owe Me !" The Danger of Entitlement
There was a man who was very tired of working. He didn’t make much money and didn’t see any chance of making more in the near future. He didn’t like his current living situation, but couldn’t see any way to change it. He had minimal skills and ambition and didn’t think he could make it through school. He was just tired of living this way. He deserved better. He worked hard. He decided to get some money quickly. He went to the ATM and put a blank piece of paper in a deposit envelop. He put the envelope into the machine and deposited a pretend $5,000 check.

Are Your Leads Leading You Astray?
Advertisements for leads are everywhere on the web and they promise everything from wealth to automatic ways to grow your business. But can a lead system really deliver?

Book Review: The Real Truth about Success:
Book Review: The Real Truth about Success: What the Top 1 Percent Do Differently, Why They Won’t Tell You, and How You Can Do it Anyway by Garrison Wynn. This is a book that takes a real look at what makes people successful and the fact that what makes them successful is almost certainly not what you think (or at least you’ll change your mind by the time you get to the end of the book). Dissatisfied with the standard answers he got from nearly 5,000 professionals, Mr. Wynn set out to find out the truth—the real reason these people were successful.

Are You Afraid Enough?
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.Anais Nin (1903-1977)Writer What motivates us to change? Dissatisfaction? Maybe. Extreme fear? Maybe. Most likely, however the motivation is that we are so uncomfortable or so afraid in our current situation, that we will do anything, including change. Change is difficult for almost all of us and sometimes it takes a lot to convince us that something should change.

The Other Marketer
Whether you are in multi-level marketing in a small way or a big way, if you live with anyone else, there is another multi-level marketer in your business. They may not be officially in your business (although if you are a committed relationship they should be), but, like it or not, they are most definitely involved. If you are involved in network marketing in a big way, you are spending large amounts of time on your business. If you have a family, a house, you need to eat, etc. then someone else is picking up those chores that you no longer have time to do.
