Not For The Carb Conscious

23. February 2011

I know you’re stressed out about making money right away with your new network marketing business. Your mentor is telling you to care more about helping the customer than about the money you will make from each sale… and if you do that, the money will come! She tells you to focus on “serving others” [...]

I had heard of Landmark Forum for the past nine years when some friends from college went to their introductory course, the Landmark Forum. And I knew it was just another cult-ish group of personal development junkies that were high on life and had finally found something they could get behind and make them feel [...]

Have you ditched your affirmations after just a couple of days because you thought, “Nothing’s happening… what’s the point?” I’ve been there too! But I revisited the simple network marketing fundamental of stating affirmations after I adopted one from my friend and colleague Tricia on Saturday that worked IMMEDIATELY. (It was so fast… I’m still [...]

This weekend my Nana turned 92! (If you think that’s impressive… her husband is almost 94!) My Nana, who is my paternal grandmother, is the child of German immigrants. She grew up in San Francisco, California, close by to where she stills lives. She tells dazzling stories of playing as a little girl in the [...]

Amy Chua, self-proclaimed “Tiger Mom”, horrified Western parents this week with her memoir on raising two daughters in the strict “Chinese way.” My husband was so intrigued with this news story that he urged me to read up on it for research. See, we are anticipating our first baby, so “Tiger Mom” led us to [...]

Admit it: part of you just can’t stand that smug Mark Zuckerberg. He violated your security and can buy and sell you ten times over. And he’s a child! Doesn’t it just irk you… just a little? Well it’s time to get over it and salvage what we can learn from this infant who was [...]

I thank God everyday for my mentor. Now how many of you can say that? When I started my network marketing business, I had the good fortune of being mentored by someone who was very adamant about me getting to the live company events. If it hadn’t been for the urging and prodding to go, [...]

Today my millionaire mentor said something that hit me like a ton of bricks. (He often does…) He referred to my favorite recruiting question du jour, which I feel is unassuming, not pushy, and suitably effective. I like to ask, “My business is so busy… I need help!

Imagine my surprise when the doctor’s waiting room had “Success” magazine for me to read today! I spend a lot of time in and out of doctor and lab offices these days, as I’m expecting my first baby in late May. In fact, I can hardly imagine how a pregnant woman with a job can [...]

Web 2.0 is amazing. Obviously, we’re both using it this very instant! But there is something special about live events that surely take place within your network marketing opportunity that you don’t want to overlook. Maybe it’s the handshake. Maybe it’s the eye contact. Maybe it’s the body language. Maybe it’s the power of being [...]
