Well, I have started off the new year a bit behind schedule but I have a good excuse. In years past I have done an exercise at the beginning of each year to evaluate what happened the previous year. I have missed doing this the last couple of years and I feel this has caused … Continue Reading »
Since 1995 I have been a fan of Robert Kiyosaki. Reading Rich Dad Poor Dad changed my life. I had no positive financial education when I was growing up so the information in this book was like manna from heaven. Since then I have read everything that Robert Kiyosaki has written and put his financial … Continue Reading »
After 18 months of drought here in Texas, I had forgotten the value of taking small steps. It took 2 slides down on my butt to remind me to proceed carefully when the footing is uncertain. I got to thinking how this also applies to those starting a network marketing business. Some people are excited … Continue Reading »
I woke up to thunder this morning at 6:30 and we proceeded to get 4 inches of rain in less than 3 hours. I sure hope this breaks the drought. The electricity went off so finding my rain coat and mud boots was a challenge in the dark. It is not like I had them … Continue Reading »

I put a call in yesterday to my stock broker. I have been watching the market go up but I am feeling less and less comfortable with being part of this system. I am selling all my mutual funds and getting into some commodities and a few companies I have personal experience with. This is … Continue Reading »
Your network marketing product is not for everyone. No matter how unique it is, how much research there is behind it, how great it tastes or how much it helps people most won’t want it or if they want it they won’t be willing to pay for it. Sorry but this is the truth. So … Continue Reading »
I am going to apologize up front for any ranting that happens in this post but I am so sick(pardon the pun) of hearing about the health care crisis in this country. Before I even start into the health side of it I would like to say occasionally people(even doctors) do make mistakes and if … Continue Reading »
The constitution of the United States starts out with We the People. Not we the government, we the special interests groups, we the politicians, we the large corporations or we the financial institutions. It begins We the People and it will be We the People(guided by God) who turn this world around. If you think … Continue Reading »
I was watching my hen, Madalyn(named this before I got her), mother her adopted chicks. She did not sit on the eggs but when the hen that did sit abandoned the chicks she watched them struggle for a few days then stepped in. I got to thinking how this compares to how I feel about … Continue Reading »
I was on my regular Monday night Xango training call and one of our trainers was talking about helping new people get started in network marketing. Because doing network marketing in a professional way requires developing certain skill sets, Mike made the comparison of starting a network marketing home based business to beginning a workout … Continue Reading »
Guest post by Stephanie So there you are, sitting in a restaurant, watching this person draw little circles on a paper placemat. The person says, “All you have to do is find five people, and those people will find five people. And then, voila, you have this giant network and even bigger checks showing up … Continue Reading »
Guest Post by Stephanie Running Into MLM Snobs? I just got off the phone with a good friend who is joining our MLM group. He’s in a really tricky place right now, and I sympathize with him a lot. He’s torn between excitement about the huge possibilities of this new opportunity and his fear of … Continue Reading »

I just got off a 3 way call between myself and 2 other people I care about very much. I have come to enjoy three way calls but occasionally one will be a bit rough. I have found these calls can be the ones that teach me the most. Here is what just happened. … Continue Reading »
I want to talk more about the important information I learned at the regional Xango convention. Les Brown was the keynote speaker and here are some highlights from my notes. He has the same take on the unemployment numbers as Paul Zane Pilzer does. They both feel that the high rate of unemployment is a … Continue Reading »
I went to Las Vegas last weekend for the Xango regional convention. I normally don’t like to go to these kind of events but I do because I always learn more about my company and products there than anywhere else. I can get on training calls and watch webinars all day but it is not … Continue Reading »
I spent much of the day yesterday calling some new leads for network marketing and following up on some past ones.

Everybody goes through periods of being stuck in their network marketing business and in any business for that matter.
