The Great Equalizer…

Relational Marketing is the great equalizer because it is built on ATTITUDE. You are paid based on your “attitude” not your “ability.” Charles Swindoll, a minister & bestselling author, wrote,“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on my life. Attitude, to me, is more than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill…
The remarkable thing is that we have a CHOICE every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past; we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only think we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our ATTITUDE. I’m convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you. We are in charge of our ATTITUDES. Successful people always concentrate on the end result, while others get stuck on the process, the “how.” People with limited thinking ask “why”? Those with unlimited thinking ask “why not”? Successful people NEVER give up on their goals…they just change their attitudes.
And to have a great attitude you need to AVOID DEPRESSION…dream stealers & negative people! Often the negative people are family members or close friends! Because your success in this business depends more on your attitude than your ability it is important that we spend time associating with people who are positive and support us in our desire for success. Set clear rules for those who are constantly talking negatively about our business or criticizing our dreams. My motto is this…”Positive comments or NO comments at all….I simply don’t DO negative!” And depression can’t win if you’re constantly learning, bettering yourself, and associating with other positive people! And remember…the secret to survival is simply not to give up! The way to avoid despondency is to keep the faith! Long-term residual income never came to quitters. And be persistent. It’s not what we do once that gives us a good result but it’s what we do over and over again! Failure can’t handle persistence…persistence always wins in the end. 95% of people who remain in this industry for 10 years or longer reach the highest pay levels in their respective companies. Whatever you do, just don’t quit!
And be thankful for life’s challenges…they are essential to our growth! Without them, we would fall into a comfort zone bringing our creativity to a screeching halt. For several years our wireless business was “coasting on auto pilot”…doing very well with a minimal amount of effort on our part. During this time…I DID NOT experience a lot of personal growth…I was in a “RUT” and even though our finances were strong I was not fulfilled and happy. As Dave Ramsey said…you don’t get close to God going up the mountain but on the way down. The last three years have been filled with a lot of challenges, a lot of hard work, a lot of patience & persistence and a whole lot of FAITH! Kent & I have never been closer and we’ve never been at filled with such contentment and peace. And where there is peace there is power! We laugh more than we’ve ever laughed in our lives and we’re having the time of our lives! It doesn’t seem like “work” because we are enjoying ourselves. If you’re not having FUN you’re simply not doing it right! You should get up each am saying…I GET to share MonaVie today! What a privilege!
The only thing holding you back is your OWN MIND-SET. You reprogram your brain though POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS (p. 68-69 in Your First Year in Network Marketing). Turn off the time stealing TV…get your nose in a good book…& ATTEND ALL OF OUR EVENTS! YOU have a family now that believes in YOU…positive people that BELIEVE in your dreams! You see my friend… that is what this industry of Network Marketing is all about…building people up, not pushing them down like Corporate America. It is about helping people to be ALL that God has destined them to be…helping them to take control of their future!
Relational Marketing is a PERSONAL GROWTH BUSINESS! It is about becoming BIGGER than your problems! If you are open to changing it will transform you from the inside out. It will bring out the best in you and the worst in you. Your business will only grow to the extent you are personally growing. If you want to attract positive, successful, upbeat people to your team then you gotta BE THAT PERSON! YOU can all do it! I came from a very negative family and I have invested a whole life time into re-programming my mind. If I can do it…SO CAN YOU! After all…God knows how very special YOU are…He made only one of YOU! And He wants only the BEST for you! But in order to give it to you…you have to be in agreement with Him!
We love you! Have a great day!
