I Met A Famous Person!

9. February 2011

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 [...]

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 [...]

Don’t Be A Wuss!

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! Would you know anyone interested in making [...]

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 [...]

This weekend my husband and I celebrated our one-year wedding anniversary. And in these few short years that I’ve known him, I can attest that nothing will challenge you to be strong, but not rude… Kind, but not weak… Bold, but not a bully… Thoughtful, but not lazy… Humble, but not timid… Proud, but not [...]

I Hate Nancy Reagan!

“Nancy, you are the bane of my existence!” It’s hard to hate on such a sweet little lady that wanted only to educate American youth about drugs, and who cared for her demented husband long after he had forgotten who she was. But somehow, I manage. (I kid, I kid…) But all this “Just Say [...]

Yesterday afternoon I met up with my husband at a mall to carpool to a picnic. I called his cell to let him know that I was about to go inside to get him. “I’m at the checkout. Where are you?” he asked. “In the car; see you soon.” I parked and walked into the [...]

Those of us in network marketing stumbled across the same internet marketers, social media gurus, and MLM-powerhouses when we jumped online to search for ways to build our businesses online. I know I’m not the only one that purchased the infamous guide to attraction marketing. And I certainly wasn’t the only one to become mesmerized [...]

MLM And “The Bachelorette”

Did you miss last week’s finale of ABC’s hit TV show “The Bachelorette?” Me too. Thankfully, neither of us had to watch the final rose ceremony to learn a huge lesson in network marketing. See, as an alumnae of UC Berkeley with plenty of Women’s Studies classes on my transcript, let’s just say my personal [...]

It’s already August 2nd… or later depending on when you’re reading this! Pretty soon, we will be a week into the month. Soon afterward, we will be half-way through the month. And if you aren’t half-way to plan by that time, you’ll be playing catch-up at the end of the month. Don’t sail into the [...]
