There is one thing for sure that will KEEP you broke and struggling in your Network Marketing business if you make this mistake! You see, in life and in business, you are either growing or dying. Sounds pretty extreme, huh? What I mean is that if you are educating yourself and understand that you don’t know it all, you can have an open mind and an open heart to receive valuable information that will help you to grow in all aspects of your life including your business.

If however, you or someone you know, feel like they already know everything to become successful in business, they will actually regress! You can lose all of the success habits and principles that have helped you to grow up to this point. 

In the video below I go into more detail of the one tip that will KEEP you broke if you are not careful. Take this tip to heart and avoid the backslide!

Money Matches Your Mindset

Money Matches Your Mindset

Published by Kenneth

Money matches your mindset! You have probably always heard successful people say that success is an attitude or a thought process, I know I have. Did you ever really stop and think about the impact that your mindset has on your ability to make or attract money?

Before my wife and I became entrepreneurs and started building an online business, we were very proficient at the principle that I am going to share with you on how to have money match your mindset and what that means to you. The problem that we had, concerning our thoughts, was that it was the exact opposite of what I am going to teach you! We operated from a lack mentality and essentially repelled money away from us based on the way that we spoke and how we thought about money.

My wife and I are college educated people who did what we were taught to do; go to school, get good grades, and then get a good job. The issue was not that we weren’t capable of making money and attracting it to us, the issue was that we did not know that our very actions and thought process was making money run from us! We started to learn from very successful people and invest a lot of time an money to educate ourselves and change our thought process and learn how successful people are able to attract money and their success.

In this video below, I am going to share how your thought process has basically chased money away from you and how you can begin to get it chasing after you instead! Please understand, that it is not your fault that you have been repelling money away from you. In most cases,you have been raised to think about money in a certain way; most likely that you need to make money, and then save it, holding on to it with everything that you have. It is a thought process that most people have been brought up by. I am going to reveal a couple of secrets that you can begin using today that will help you to begin attracting money to you rather than repelling it.

Watch the video below and learn how Money Matches Your Mindset:
 

 
Are you ready to change your financial future? If you are, you must change your mindset about money so that it matches the amount of money that you desire. It significantly changed the financial future for my wife and I when we committed to change our mindset. The great thing about changing your mindset is that anybody can do it, even YOU!

I would like to hear how you have or plan to change your mindset and any feedback that you have. Please share this post with anybody that you feel could benefit from this information.

Pay The Price

Pay The Price For Success

Published by Kenneth

Pay the price. Have you heard that saying before? When my wife and I first started our Network Marketing business, we heard many successful leaders tell us and others that in order to succeed in anything, including our business, we were going to have to pay the price. When I first heard that success saying, I really didn’t know what they meant. Did I have to literally pay a price to succeed? Did it mean doing things that I didn’t want to do or believe in? As we continued to build our business and take action to grow it, we came to understand what it meant to pay the price.

Let’s examine what it means to pay the price for your success. No, you don’t have to worry about selling your soul or anything that extreme at all! Paying the price simply means letting go of something of value in order to get what you really want.

Letting go of things that make us comfortable and that we perceive to have value to us is a very hard decision to make. We fear letting go of something that we are used to or provides us security for the opportunity to grow and move on towards our success. If you are not willing to change and let go of what you have always known, you will remain exactly where you are in life. Remember, insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Are you going insane? The good news is that you can change that! What is it that you have not let go of to advance your success? Do you have a “good job” that you fear losing? However, you know in your heart that you were meant for more and leaving one secure job for the opportunity to use all of your talents and gifts has you fearful of failure. How about old habits that have been holding you back? Do you have things in your life that have caused you to stay stale and stagnant that you know you must change? I am here to tell you that if you are willing to pay the price and change, you will be much better off. Non of us want to live our life with regrets and wondering, “What if?”

Another way that you will pay the price for your success is to give more. I am not speaking of money here, but of your time, energy, and commitment. If you run a business whether it is on line of off line, you will pay the price of time, energy, and commitment. Any business takes time to build and maintain. If you are trying to become a top athlete, you will not succeed by only practicing your craft some of the time. It requires you to put in work every waking moment of your life in order to train and get better. If you are striving for success in the corporate world, you will not succeed to your capability by only working part time. You will have plenty of late nights at the office in order to accomplish more than the average worker at your company. There are birthdays that may be missed, family reunions that you will have to opt out of, and plenty of sleep that will be missed. If you want to succeed, you must be willing to lose out on some of these things now so that you can enjoy the life that you truly want! If you miss a family reunion now, how cool would it be to have your family reunion at your gorgeous estate and invite everyone over, or take your family on an all expense paid vacation where you foot the bill, all because you paid the price and have the success to show for it. Do you think your family would understand that you may have missed a couple of family reunions so that you can spoil them with your rewards from paying the price? Success does not come easy. It takes more than a $1 lottery ticket to become successful. I believe that success is not just about how much money that you can accumulate, but how much better of a person that you become through paying the price of your success. 

There are no short cuts to success. You must be willing to pay the price in order to succeed. If succeeding were easy, everyone would be succeeding, correct? In order to break away from the masses, you must be willing to do what they are not willing to do. In many cases, that means change and sacrifice. My wife and I watched as our friends and peers were buying new homes, buying new cars, and going on vacations. We said to ourselves that we would pay the price for a short time and then be able to live life the way we wanted to and be free from a corporate job, able to purchase whatever home, car, or vacation that we want to. The decision was simple, pay the price and live a life of success, or stay the same and live a life of mediocrity. The choice is yours!

Success Principles…What are they anyway?

Published by Kenneth

What makes some people successful while others seem to struggle to make ends meet? How is it that money seems to be attracted to some while other people seem like they have holes in their pockets? Many people think that successful people “get lucky”, that they were in the right place at the right time. That could not be further from the truth. The fact is, these “successful” people are utilizing success principles whether they consciously know it or not. 

 

So how do you learn about these success principles and what are they anyway? Before I started my network marketing business, I did not know anything about success or business. I was taught to go to school, get good grades, and get a good job. I was essentially was taught to have someone else tell me what I was worth. 

 

When I got started in business, I began to learn principles that were foreign to me and had never heard of from some very successful business mentors. In fact, some of the success principles that I learned were in exact opposition to what I had ever known. For example, delayed gratification. My attitude was if I want it, go get it! It was a way of thinking that I worked hard and deserved it. What I learned about delayed gratification is that I can still travel or buy what I wanted, but I just needed to wait for the right time so that I could get the very best and not settle for mediocrity. This is an example of wealth mentality. Wealth is simply a state of mind! Once you learn the key principles of success, all you have to do is implement them in whatever business or career that you are in. Success principles don’t change regardless of your business or profession. All that matters is that you use them in your life. They are laws, just like the law of gravity. You don’t have to believe in gravity or that it exists, but go ahead and jump off of the roof of your house and you will quickly realize that gravity does work and exist!

Increase Your Dreams; Increase Your Financial Future!

Published by Kenneth

All of us have had dreams from early childhood up until now. As we got older the dreams may have changed, but we all have dreams that we would like to accomplish. The sad reality is that most people will shape their dreams around their income rather than using their dreams to increase their income.

 

What am I getting at? Let me explain. Let’s say someone makes $80k/yr. at their corporate job. Most likely they have tied their “dreams” or goals into what $80k/yr can buy them; car, home, travel, etc. They can not imagine driving a Ferrari or living in a multi-million dollar home because to them it is not “realistic.” They have no way of achieving those goals so the settle for what they can afford.

 

I am challenging you to develop a dream so big it intimidates you. When you have a big dream that is bigger than your current circumstances, it forces you to take action and make the kind of money to afford what you want. You will strive to make enough money to be able to afford that multi-million dollar home or retire your wife/husband from their job; even yourself! You were created to do more and be more, not just settle for what life or your boss says your value is. You can begin to shape your financial future by just increasing your dreams alone! When your subconscious mind is set on achieving a goal, it will begin to create and think of opportunities to help you achieve that goal. That is why one of my definitions of success is: When opportunity and preparedness meet. Your mind will have you prepared to see an opportunity and take advantage of it. 

 

So begin to increase your dreams to increase your finances. Stop settling for what you currently have based on your circumstances. Rise up and be all you can be!

Do You Have a Financial Safety Net?

Published by Kenneth
Over the past several years, many people have endured demoralizing corporate lay-offs or downsizing. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that as of 2013, 11.3 million people are unemployed. That is a frightening statistic. Are you one of those millions? 
The sad part of this scenario is that most of these individuals did not have a “plan-B” or a safety net that they could fall back on if they ever lost their job. Now that they have gotten laid of, they have to scramble to try to find some work in order to keep the lights on and food on the table! More times than not, they end up taking a job that pays them less than what they were making before just so they can have some type of income. Not a good situation, is it?                                                                                                                      
 What about you? Do you have a safety net? I’m sure you are thinking that you have a good job and are on the fast track for growth within your company. I have heard that all too often only to then hear that there was a corporate takeover and the new company is bringing their staff in with them. Maybe you have a bunch of money in your savings account (not many do) and you can go for a period of time without any income. Can you go 90 or 120 days with no income? You have worked hard and have been very disciplined in order to save money so why would you want to have to resort to using it in order to survive before you retire?
I recommend that you develop a secondary stream of income. You can not expect to work with one company for the next 30-40 years and retire with any financial dignity. It just doesn’t happen like that anymore. Having a secondary income can be done in your spare time. It does not have to interfere with your current career or family time. This can be done on your own accord with as much or as little effort as you would like to put in. Think about it, if you could make an extra $2,000/month in your spare time, would that help things around the house? CouldID-100199996 you start to get out of debt quicker? Travel more? Be able to keep your current standard of living if you got laid off? Now you can make more or less per month, but I’m just using that number as an example to get you to think about why it would be a good idea to make extra money outside of your career.                                                                    
 If you have not thought about having a safety before, I would encourage you to do so. We can’t predict the future, but we can make every effort to make it more secure regardless of what happens. My wife and I have helped hundreds of individuals and families create a secondary source of income as a safety net. If you would like to find out more about what we do, click on this link and provide some simple information where we can fill you in on all of the details.

Why Network Marketing Makes Sense!

Published by Kenneth

Network Marketing has a long, storied history that dates back to the 1950’s. Over the years it has gotten both good and bad publicity. Recently, however, many people are beginning to understand how Network Marketing can be a very simple and low risk way to make money.

Network Marketing can basically be defined as a company that sells goods or services or both who has distributors that sell the product to the market place via word of mouth. This cuts down the advertising expense to the company and allows the distributor to make the profits that the company would normally use on advertising. The second component to Network Marketing is the ability to add other distributors into their network who do the same thing. When other distributors sell a product, everyone in that network gets a small percentage of the profits. Does this sound familiar? McDonald’s uses the same concept. When Ray Kroc started with McDonald’s, he only had two stores. Understanding the law of duplication, Ray began offering an opportunity to entrepreneurs to purchase a store and he would provide all of the training and supplies. In exchange, the owner of the store was able to keep 98% of the earnings and gave Ray the additional 2%. This was a great deal for both parties involved. The store owner made a lot of money and as more and more stores opened up, Ray made a lot of money. Would your like to have 2% of a million dollars duplicated over and over? That is the essence of Network Marketing. Now that you have an understanding of how Network Marketing works, let’s discuss why it makes sense for the average individual to use it as a way to make money. It is important to understand that Network Marketing is  not for everybody. Then again, what is?

There are tons of Network Marketing companies out there that have many different products. From electronics to phone services to health/consumables and insurance, and many more. It is based on the individual’s preferred product that will help to determine which opportunity is best.

Generally speaking, you are able to purchase products from the company and make money doing it. How neat is it to be able to buy things that you are going to buy anyway and make money back? Think of it as frequent flyer miles that airlines offer. When was the last time that a major supermarket or store in your area actually sent you a check based on a percentage of the products that you had to buy already? Very cool concept, wouldn’t you say? In addition to purchasing your own products, you are now able to sell the products that other people are also already purchasing and using. This allows you to make a profit just like the major stores do that you have been spending your hard earned money with. There is no limit to how much you can sell or earn as it is all word of mouth selling- the best way! Think about the last time that you bought a shirt or a pair of shoes and got complimented. Most likely the person asked you where you bought the shirt or shoes and went to the same store and purchased the shirt, shoes, or even some other clothing. Did the store send you a referral check for the money the new customer spent? Can you see how this works? You put yourself in a position to be able to profit from things that you do already on a daily basis.

Finally, in Network Marketing you are able to offer the same opportunity that you have to others. Notice the word that I used- “offer.” You don’t sell people on getting in business or joining a Network Marketing opportunity, you ID-100105995simply offer it to them as a way to make money. Remember that I said Network Marketing is not for everybody? Some people that you offer the opportunity to are not in a place in their lives where they are looking to create additional income. Maybe they just got a promotion at work or are finishing up a Doctorate degree. Whatever the case may be, they just are not interested in the opportunity. So what? There are millions of other people all over the world that are looking for an opportunity to make money. You just have to sift through people to find the ones
that are serious about making more money. I like to use the example of a waiter or waitress and ketchup. You and another person are at a restaurant and just ordered a burger and fries. The waiter or waitress asks the both of you if you would like some ketchup with your burger and fries. You say no because you don’t like ketchup. Do you think the waiter or waitress takes it personal that you don’t want ketchup? No. They simply ask your friend if they want ketchup and they say yes. It is as simple as that! We all have a circle of influence that would be open to creating some additional money, you just have to ask them.

It is with sincere hope that this article has cleared up any misconceptions or given you a good frame of reference as to what Network Marketing is. It does not matter your educational level, age, or type of job or career that you have. Anyone can use Network Marketing to achieve their financial goals. All that matters for anyone considering a Network Marketing opportunity is that you have a goal in mind and that you are willing to be persistent, work hard in your own business, and can handle rejection.

My wife and I have been part of a Network Marketing business for several years and have successfully helped hundreds of people make money and achieve their financial goals. Just as in anything, there are no guarantees, and please understand that Network Marketing is not a “get rich quick scheme.” Legitimate results requires legitimate effort.

If you are building a Network Marketing business currently, congratulations! Keep at it and don’t ever give up! I wish you the best. If you are looking for a Network Marketing opportunity or just looking for a way to make money in general and would like my help, I would be honored to find out what your goals are and help you to achieve them together.

Do You Have A Mindset For Business Success?

Published by Kenneth

Every significant endeavor or business plan has a beginning– it comes from the mind, the source where every activity flows from.

Before you jump onto “Success Interstate”, one of the first things that you must prepare is your mindset.

What does it mean to create the right mindset for success? Here are a few suggestions:

•Making money in ANY business is NOT a get rich quick scheme. You don’t just get in business and have money deposited into your bank account. It takes hard work and dedication to keep pressing forward in order to profit.

•You must spend some time educating yourself in your business or endeavor. Simply picking up a couple of books will not make you an expert in your field or market. Study others who have already succeeded in what you are trying to do. This takes some time and effort. After all, how long did it take you to get your university degree?

•Invest time for trial and error. No one gets it ‘right’ on the first try. Be ready for setbacks and failures, but learn from them and then get up off the canvas and battle again!

•You will deal with negative people who will try to tear your dream and goals down. There are many people who are too scared to step out and try something different. By you attempting something great, you make them uncomfortable and take away all of their excuses to try and succeed. In turn, they will try to drag you down with them to make themselves feel better. Some of the resistance will come from your friends, close relatives, co-workers, or even your BOSS! If you do not have the right mindset and persistence to keep pushing forward, they will steal your dream.

•Be like a dog on a bone- be ready to be “in it to win it!” Like in any business, if you are not prepared for the long haul with the peaks and valleys of business, you will quit midway because you have put in a half-hearted effort to succeed. Keep this thought in mind when things get tough: How badly do you want success?

Commit yourself to developing your mindset for success and enjoy the journey on “Success Interstate!”

To your success,

How to Make Good Decisions

Published by Kenneth

Good decision making is crucial to anyone that wants to achieve success. In the very high-tech world we live in today, there is a battle for your mind. From the pressures of getting the newest cell phones/technology to the tv commercials telling you why you should buy their products,  to the world news attempting to direct you on how to vote, think, etc.we are constantly surrounded by others who want to make decisions for you.

It’s no wonder why so many people fall victim to their own decisions. They have never really had to. It is as if many people are like sheep that just follow one another into the slaughter house and then wonder “how did I end up here?” With the constant battle for our minds, we must understand how to think for ourselves and make the best decisions that can have a positive influence in our lives. We have fallen into the trap of trying to “keep up with the Joneses” (whoever they are) and if my next door neighbor, co-worker, friend, or relative is doing or not doing it, it must be the right thing to do. Those of you who learn how to think for yourself and make quality decisions can save yourself a lot of hard times and heart aches.

I am not proposing that I am an expert in decision making nor do I claim that I have made all of the right decsions. That is very far from the truth! In fact, the reason why I feel that I can write this post is because I have made many bad decisions try  ing to keep up with the rest of society! The key is that I have learned from most of my bad decisions  and more importantly, learned from the process of how I made those bad decisions.

 The way to make a good decision versus a bad decision is not at all complicated. In fact, it can be summed up with one word- VISION.

Vision allows you to look ahead and see things how you want the end result to be not as you see them currently This is not like having psychic powers where you are looking into the future, but you have a clear picture of where you want to be and then make your actions line up in order to get there.

So what does vision have to do with making good decisions you ask? Everything! If you don’t have the vision of where you are going, how can you get there? Furthermore, how can you take the correct actions and take advantage of the law of cause and effect?

Vision allows you to look far enough ahead to see what is coming. By doing this, you can now be proactive instead of reactive. When people are reactive to things it is like being hit by a barrage of punches from Floyd Mayweather. You are powerless and have to take them with no time to adjust.

If you take our slumping economy, bad job market, and high gas prices into account, you can see how the people with vision can avoid the life challenges of the majority. Those folks who have either went into business for themselves or started a home-based business where they can make additional income while maintaining a job, have looked ahead and fixed their leaky roof before it rains. They know what they want (or what they don’t want) and are doing something about it. They are being proactive.

So how about you? Have you been proactive or have you been hit with body blow after body blow from Floyd Mayweather?! After awhile those punches hurt and start to wear you down. Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Have you lost your vision for what you want and are now just taking life as it comes? I know how that feels, I have been there. It is a very frustrating feeling to not feel like you have any control over your life or future. The good news is that you can take control of your financial future by making the right decisions. One of the best decisions that I have ever made was to start a home-based business and take control of my financial future so when the economy slumped or the job market dried up, I am able to get water from my well rather than wonder where the well is!

If you have vision of where you want to be for your financial future and are ready to do something about it, then click here and let’s talk!!

To your success!

Who Are You Listening To?

Published by Kenneth

Watch any TV commercial or pick up any newspaper or periodical and you will be flooded with information and opinions on what you should or should not do. The question is, who do you listen to?

It is unfortunate that a large amount of people will listen to, and take advice from, people who don’t have their best interest in mind. Sometimes, it is actually from close friends and loved ones who are trying to “protect’ them from making a mistake or making a bad decision.

Having been in business for a number of years, I have witnessed potential entrepreneurs get SNIOP’d (susceptible to the negative influences of other people). They listened to somebody’s opinion about whether or not they should go into business for themselves or not.

The reality of the situation, is that these people listened to individuals who are have not obtained any type of personal or financial success. These advice givers don’t understand that in order to be in business for yourself and make money, it does require an element of risk- a calculated risk. What the potential entrepreneurs did not take into consideration was the ‘fruit on the tree’ that those people giving opinions had.

How can you expect to learn something from someone that has never done what they are giving their advice about? I have never studied or performed a brain surgery. How crazy would it be for someone to take advice or opinions from me on brain surgery? I have no clue on how to even begin a surgery let alone a brain surgery! Yet that is what so many people do when it comes to their finances and making money. They take opinions from people that are in debt, unhappy, and working in a career going nowhere.

The next time that you are going to take somebody’s opinion that is not going to encourage or support you, see where they are at in life. At your job, have you ever looked at the person who has been with the company for 10+ years and observed how happy they are, what kind of car they drive, where they live, etc? If you like their lifestyle, then continue to follow in their footsteps. If however you don’t, then understand that if you keep following their same path, you will end up where they are.

I have been fortunate to have been able to have a set of mentors that are in life where I want to be. They have given me and my family the ability to have someone to model and follow a script for success. These individuals have been able to put up the warning signs of life and enable us to sidestep any potential potholes that would be around the bend.

How about you? Do you have anybody encouraging you to do more with your life? Do you have somebody who has a vested interest in your success? Do you have anybody that you can listen to in order to help your chances of being successful?

I have helped hundreds of individuals create extra income and secure their financial stability while maintaining their current occupation. I do not claim to be any type of expert, but i’m just a guy who has great mentorship and has figured out a few things for himself. I am willing to help others do the same.

To your success!
