Happy Mothers Day. Today we celebrate Mothers living or those who have died. Its a time to honour, show appreciation and gratitude for their contribution they have had in our lives.

On reflection growing up in a large family I was blessed to have a mother who spent her life taking care and nurturing us along with many others who came into our lives. .. She had the ability to create a meal from nothing and feed the five thousands ( it seemed). Our home was always filled with love and people. Food was very important to ensure that there was plenty for everyone however mum seemed to do this with ease.. no wonder I have the ability to cook and cater without a huge amount of stress..

Today I honor and thank God for all mums especially my mum, who has been an amazing blessing and encouragement in my life. All mothers have been created with such a huge heart to love, as they are always there to give us encouragement if we lose hope or guidance when we feel lost. And through their unconditional love and support, they help us to believe in ourselves so that we can achieve our goals and give us the capacity to care about others. Please share your comments. How did you honour your mum today? or How were you honoured today?

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY !

WOW, where has my beach body has gone? Some may say I didn’t know it was missing!! OH YES IT IS!! Although I love the beach, however as a child nearly drowned with my brother when we were on a family holiday in the sea.. So I love looking at the beach although not really swimming. Also I have never been one to sun bath on the beach. ( getting the perfect tan.. Oh thats right white is beautiful)
So why am in search of my beach body?

A few months ago while building my business I achieved a trip to Mauritius.. So exciting 7 days and 6 nights in a 5 star resort. Thank you to the generosity of the company, who I have been with now for 10 years. Take a look at these pictures, views are magnificent, you get the urge to hit the beach!! Don’t you think?

Well after a year of being extremely slack with not exercising the kilos have crept on.. Oh help!! its time again to make a change! So I am launching today with an eating plan, without wheat and sugar also watching some of the vegetables with too many carbs and back on the amazing OSOLEAN !!

DAY ONE was today… so in search of my beach body again, everything went very well. Up early went for a walk.. nearly needed the GPS on my phone to find home.. Oh not to forget lemon juice first thing too..Then made the most delicious omelet, ( good protein breakfast) then survived the day with a nice simple salad for lunch and pear for a snack. Dinner tonight was a lovely chicken breast stuffed with onion,fresh coriander & basil and zucchini and mushroom .. baked with beetroot and sweet potato served with a side salad.. Delicious I must say very filling !!
So I thought to keep me accountable I would blog and video my journey as we leave for our trip in June… so I have a few more weeks!! So watch out MAY !!
Leave your comments ..as I would appreciate a cheer squad !!
Thanks

Its been a while, however I couldn’t resist putting pen to paper again? A few weeks ago I thought I would start to explore this new Social Media platform called Pinterest to see if I could get my head around how this site works…..
The WOW factor, so many fantastic photos.. amazing photographers, artists, creative and talented people in this world, we human beings have been created to create.
Someone said that Pinterest was Facebook without the whining…
Lets say I’m impressed with what I have seen so far.. However there is always lots to learn about a new social media platform.
So many questions that need answers!
How I can make it work for my portfolio of businesses? What are the guidelines that I need to follow? How can I connect into marketing my business? maybe you’re asking similar questions too.
Where can I go to learn about Pinterest?
“Success always leaves glues”

Look for those who are being successful.

1. People, leaders who have ventured and stepped up, used and learnt.
2. Blogs have been written, videos have been created from people who love to share what they have learned. Also how best to avoid the mistakes and traps they came across. There are so many blogs sharing so many tips and tricks to support people who are just starting out.
3. Webinars and Trainings .. These are a great way to learn, watch and listen to people who have dared to test the site and lead the way. This week I plan to get on a webinar by Doug Firebaugh who is a Social Media and business trainer. He is hosting a 3 hour training with guest Tar’Lese Rideaux. This will be an action packed Webinar sharing so many tips and strategies for our businesses. Why not join me!!
4. Share and Teach , now you have the knowledge and experience share with other people. When you share or teach you operate out of a different paradigm as you are then responsible for the accuracy of the information and then having to communicate it in way people understand. This builds confidence and creditably also it creates ownership of the material within yourself.

So happy pinning !!

Your Social Media Footprint!

Today we continue to explore the things that will bring us undone or make us Social Media master players.

Two factors that can really bring us undone is fear and lack of knowledge, many individuals and small businesses often don’t know where to start for two basic two reasons

1. Don’t understand social media and what it can do for them

2.Fear and have become paralysed and not knowing where to start.. and not having a plan

To address the issue of how can position ourselves as master players in the social media phenomenon, is to understand what is considered “best practice” and how the pitfalls can be avoided and to move past the fear with a confident plan that will bring success..

What is Your Social Media Personal Profile?

This is more than just your bio….where you set up information to shared about yourself. This information is about you or your company.. Where you were born, where you went to school, College or University, where you have worked your family, children and what businesses you are involved in etc etc… On Facebook you can share your favourite movies, music, games, movie star, television shows !!

When people set up a profile, for many and varied reasons some chose to share lots and others very little. The potential for identity theft and identity misrepresentation is ever present, and for that reason some sensitive information should not be shared. But it’s incongruous that people who are paranoid about information they share online are the same ones who use retail loyalty cards, not realising that the details of every financial transaction they associate with that card is recorded and sold!

However to clearly define your reasons to be online and what you really want to accomplish should be understood clearly from the outset. SO many people don’t really understand the full implications of what their profiles are communicating. However transparency and integrity is very important.

What is YOUR Social Media DIGITAL Footprint?

What does this mean? Social media digital footprint is all about what you leave behind when you interact online. Whenever you comment or post anything online you are leaving and imprint a mark – your digital footprint of where you have been that may never be expunged. What you communicate and how you communicate is out there for the world to see. Every time you vote online, or post a “like”, it leaves a trail. It’s not just a company’s web site that gets indexed by search engines. Every update made on Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, and Facebook Fan pages are indexed immediately after they are posted. This is called REAL exposure!! IT’S your DIGITAL FOOTPRINT–

Google has changed as activity in all social networks not only increases a company’s or individual’s Web presence, it now impacts how Google ranks an individual or a company ,small business in search results. Size really does matter – businesses and individuals with the bigger social media footprint are more likely to be discovered on the Web and its all organic SEO.

Have you or your business considered the impact of your Digital profile and Digital footprint on different sites’?

Have you ever done a Google search on your name or business? You would be surprised by what you can obtain from Google!!

I believe that best practice for Social Media Master Players, involves strategic crafting of your digital Social Media profile and digital Social Media footprint. The content, quality and extent of your digital Social Media profile and Digital Social Media Footprint may have a huge influence on your life, businesses much more extensive than you thought or intended positively and negatively..

Examples abound of people who have lost their employment, their reputation, relationships, and their future because of what they posted online. Also businesses have been crushed by the power of the Social Media however many are enlisting bloggers and Social Media to support products, promotions through innovative ways of marketing and research..

Its interesting this whole question raises interesting possibilities as there is a trend for employers and many recruiter are now accessing social networking sites to research profiles to evaluate whether the individual maybe suitable for a position. It’s called a digital Social Media CV; it can really impact the outcome of employment opportunities.

So what does your social media presence say about you? Your distinct belief system and values will inevitably dictate your social media digital Real Estate. Make it prime real estate! What you build online may outlast you. So make your online legacy one that your grandkids will be proud of.

Are you still coming to terms and struggling with establishing yourself or your business with an online presence ? Its okay because it does become overwhelming.

Perhaps is here the time to mention if you are a business or individual and looking to move forward and have the funds find a Social Media Community or a Social Media Coach to assist establish your online presence, as it will pay dividends in the future with your time and knowledge.

Personally being apart of The Empowered Tribe has been a valuable experience as it has allowed me to grow and develop, given support along the way. As a result of the knowledge and experience learned I am now available to support people through coaching to establish their own social media footprint. A Social Footprint of value!

Social Media Friend or Foe?

… after discussions over the holiday period with family, friends and businesspeople I find there is still a reluctance to embrace Social Media as an opportunity to be used to connect with people / clients and to market products and services. There seems to be a real lack of understanding of what a powerful asset social media could be if truly comprehended. Maybe it’s because media reports always highlighting the pitfalls and negative experiences to being online. It’s interesting to look at statistics of the growth of online social media.

The phenomenon has moved through significant growth and is now experiencing AN EXPLOSION…even just within Facebook and Twitter networks, not counting the other social media sites. The power and influence of these networks are recognised as billion dollar opportunities, as evidenced by the acquisition of Facebook by Goldman Sachs this past week.

Just look at these statistics of just one network- Facebook. Over 500 million people are regular users worldwide. In Australia, with a population of 22,523,020 ( ABS estimate for 5 Jan2011), Facebook is the most popular social networking site with more than 8.6 million unique visitors per month !! Consider the significance of these statistics:-

• 78 % of Australia’s 9 million Facebook users have chatted, sent or shared photo in the past year

• 74% have shared a link

• 20% of Australians aged 55 or older have used Facebook

• 2.5 million is the number of Australian Twitter users

• People spending more time each day

• LinkedIn (Australia) membership now > 1 million

• 60,000 in people in SYDNEY are using Foursquare

• 2.1 million MySpace unique users in Australia

• Flicker has 10 million plus groups and more than 4 billion photos

What does this massive growth in online users in 2010 mean, and how does it impact us… and why?     Does this Social Media phenomenon ever look like slowing down? While the numerical growth must eventually reach saturation point, the power of social media as a major influence on our culture ……how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and how we do business…. is still growing. As long as people have a need to be connected, to feel connected: as long as people are looking for a sense of community; as long as people have a message to be communicated or a product to be promoted: it is unlikely that the phenomenal growth will subside.

If we would position ourselves as master players in the social media phenomenon, what are some of the considerations we need to look at, and what could be considered “best practice” and what are the pitfalls that come with such an explosive growth in Social Media… Follow my next post as I explore the things that will bring us undone or make us Social Media master players

Make it a terrific day

These past few weeks I have been exposed to another amazing tool to assist people to connect and communicate with friends, family and customers. This tool has been cost prohibitive to many of us as only the top people in our companies could afford this luxury. But now the game has changed forever! One company, leaders in visual technology, has brought this powerful tool into your media workplace and at an affordable price.

Today, I‘d like to share concerning the power of using webinars to develop and grow a global business.

1. Is it really important to understand what is a webinar?

2. Why you can use this to share your business opportunity?

3. Then demonstrate a great low cost option to support you as you build your business.

To finish off my post I have an extra-special bonus webinar from my friend, top marketing guru Scott Scales that he created for his top marketing buddies a few weeks ago.

What Is A Webinar?

Is the named used for Web-based seminar; a webinar is a presentation, lecture, workshop or seminar that is transmitted over the Web. The key feature of a Webinar is its interactive elements — the ability to give, receive and discuss information. Contrast with Webcast (Podcast ), in which the data transmission is one way and does not allow interaction between the presenter and the audience.

The Webinar experience is made up of actual, live interactive learning experiences. Participants are able to ask by the instructor questions and receive answers in real time. The instructors are able to conduct polls and ask questions receive feedback. Participants can receive course materials by e-mail prior to the seminar and also are able to view the instructor’s PowerPoint slides during the seminar. It can be hosted by an individuals and invite guest presenters along with the ability to open up the lines and allow attendants speak if you so wish – quite versatile. These types of online webinar have a much higher impact than simply reading material on the web.

Webinars offer exceptional convenience. They are ideal for brown-bag lunch training. No travel is required. How many attendees can attend the webinar has been dependant on the subscription level that has been chosen by the customer.

The two company giants, Webex or GoTo Meeting have dominated the web-conferencing industry for years. it is said that the industry is worth billions now. In 2008 the industry grew to over $1.1 billion an increase of 19% … So these companies have had the enormous share and have made the price point prohibitive to a lot ordinary people. This is where its exciting for us all as I have found a company called Talk Fusion that has a monthly price of $20.00 per month along with other tools . WOO HOO!!

Are Webinars limited to anyone? And can participate?

Webinars are open to every type of business that you can think of. Use a webinar to present to a few – or a few thousand . Anyone who wants to share any type of information as it can be designed for any audience for training to sharing the latest news of your company, to home based business owners or to build team spirit, for professionals eg: engineers, scientists, university faculty, graduate students, manufacturers and consultants.

Submit your details below and I will send you a link to the webinar where my friend Scott shares in a 17 minutes webinar the benefits of using webinars as a part of an everyday tool to build YOUR Business.

Take time to share if you have used webinars as a part of building your business and what were the benefits. If you are wanting more information of how you can get your hands on this technology as its to be released in days…

Make it a terrific day

What a wake-up call!

As you can see I am a little more vertically challenged than the rest of you and this leads to the horizontal challenge I have!!! I made a decision a few years ago after trying and failing on so many programs. It was TIME to be totally honest with myself… I had become OBESE.

All this after 35 years, four sons, and a lifetime of serving people!! It was important for me to realize that it had taken years to become like this and so it would not disappear or shift over night (and of course it didn’t)! It wasn’t about a quick-fix program!!

There was no point beating myself up, I needed all the energy I had to exercise determination and intention to regain my size 12 body!!

This became about a lifestyle choice that would serve me for the rest of my life…

Being a part of a company that promotes wellness, it was important for me to become a “product of the product”!!

When OsoLean® was released 2 years ago…I  listened to Dr Nugent’s training as he showed that this product was all about a complete paradigm shift in the way we would look at things!! Take a peek @ Dr Nugent’s training as he shares how this real food peptide technology called OsoLean® can support your body to reduce fat while it maintains lean muscle.

My Journey So Far !!!.

I needed to make the decision for myself knowing that if I wanted things to change I had to change. I could see that this product was something my body needed and so started OsoLean®.

So what changes did I see?

There were 2 MAJOR THINGS I NOTICED

1. The centimeters (inches) being released very quickly.

This was a totally different way to look at fat loss.. So my new friend, the tape measure, was not be feared!!!

Muscle is tight and toned and fat is fluffy !!  Muscle is about 5 times as dense as fat.

2. Appetite satisfaction (this is HUGE) this make a big difference at the times when you normally feel like you could eat an elephant or that block of chocolate!! It gives a real appetite satisfaction that you feel that you don’t need those extra nibbles

This is a journey and not a race.

Someone said “It’s not so much the destination but who you are becoming on the journey”.

Earlier this year I hit an obstacle when I started to gain weight. I lost my energy levels, and  the spring in my step had gone. That’s when I sought the support from Faith Best, my nutritionist & naturopath-who quickly discovered a health challenge that I wasn’t aware of. With her support and guidance along with the Mannatech products including OsoLean®,  I’m back on track.

MY RESULTS SO FAR….

Over these past 2 years I have lost 72 centimetres and 18 kilos and I’m into a size 14 (some size 12 tops and bottoms) from being a size 18-22 (depending on the style). Last week it was an exciting experience going through my wardrobe and emptying out clothes that don’t fit me anymore!! It was an amazing feeling to see these clothes in a pile on the floor- clothes that I used to wear that are now far too big !!!

This has been a lifestyle choice that I choose everyday “to honor my body with foods that nourish”!

I’m looking forward to the next OSOLEAN challenge to achieve the next goal..come with me on the next part of my fat loss journey as I release more FAT.

Make Good choices today that will serve you.

At the end of this story, ask yourself a question:
“Which is the important race to win?”
The story goes …………..
It was a sports stadium.

Eight children were standing on the track to participate in a running event.

Ready! Steady! Bang!
With the sound of toy pistol, all eight girls started running.

Hardly had they covered ten to fifteen steps, when one of the smaller girls slipped and fell down.

Due to bruises and pain she started crying.

When the other seven girls heard the little girl cry they stopped running, stood for a while and turned back.

Seeing the girl on the track they all ran to help.

One among them bent down, picked her up and kissed her gently….

And enquired as to how she was….

They then lifted the fallen girl – pacifying her.

Two of them held her firmly while all seven joined hands together and walked together towards the winning post…….. .

There was pin drop silence at the spectator’s stand.

Officials were shocked.

Slow claps multiplied to thousands as the spectators stood up in appreciation.

Many eyes were filled with tears

And perhaps, even God’s!

Yes! This happened in Hyderabad, India, recently!

The sport was conducted by National Institute of Mental Health.

Yes! Your guess is right! They were spastic children. All these special girls had come to participate in this event
Yes, they were mentally challenged.

What did they teach the world?

• Teamwork?
• Humanity?
• Equality among all?

Successful people help others who are slow in learning so that they are not left far behind.
I think we never do this because we have brains!

So tell me… in your opinion:
“Which is the important race to win?  The one in the stadium? Or the one in Life?”
This is really a great message… Please share it with a friend.

May you win  in “LIFE”

The Unspoken Success Secret!!

Serendipity is the experience of finding something you weren’t looking for.

Have you ever read a book, attended a conference, or maybe just read a blog and experienced major “aha” moments? It’s as though a supernatural penny dropped and you understood a simple principle more clearly and it spoke to your heart. Maybe your belief systems were challenged as you realized that holding on to that old way of thinking meant that you were paying a high cost- higher than you were willing to pay. That is fertile ground for profound change. Does that resonate with you?

A few weeks ago I attended a seminar run by Klemmer & Associates,(which, by the way, was fantastic). These past weeks we have been studying, reading, listening and meditating on different books and CDs and working through all we learned in the Klemmer workshop. The theme has been to understand what true abundance is and looking at my mindset. Well, the “aha’s” have been extraordinary. The paradigm shifts many and varied, but all of them powerful and quite liberating for me. Changing my belief systems in many different areas has been a huge challenge!!

One of these booklets I literally stumbled across spoke about a “Secret Success Principle”. This principle is not really talked about very much at all, and when it is it is largely misunderstood. So I decided to check it out and look at the impact this little-unknown principle/secret has on our success. It remains quite an exciting and empowering principle that really works for anyone willing to make it apart of their life. All I know is that it’s worked for me and for many successful people around the world. It creates miracles for me and I know for many others, and it can do the same for you.

Tithing (giving) is the best kept Success Secret in existence. It’s an old secret that works yet has been virtually forgotten.

Your initial reaction may be “Oh yeah…right. I already give to the needy, supporting a child in poverty, I give to my local charity (Red Cross, World Vision, Compassion) and give to my church, I even volunteer to feed the homeless . So I don’t need to give anymore, OR DO I ????

As I have been challenged these past few weeks that my whole life has been about giving and sharing what we had and didn’t have; whether it was materially, financially, spiritually with whoever we met. As John and I had been in ministry, pastoring churches/administrator of Theological College for over 30 years. We have opened our home to countless people and shared our lives with so many and have been truly blessed and honored to be able to apart of that. We were “Blessed to be a Blessing” to so many. Through those times we saw many miracles as we gave and gave at our expense. We didn’t get it wrong…it was done with a good attitude and we didn’t begrudge giving… well most of the time. But we really didn’t see what it could do for us. The breakthrough came when we recognised that when we didn’t give we shut down….in so many areas of our life. We began to be inverted, and introverted, as we shut down to preserve what little we had, the only thing that grew was a negative spirit and a dependence on the little that we had to meet our needs. Our lives became a closed universe, and we were the centre. When the breakthrough came we realized that we had built this protective wall around our lives… and that worked well, except for the fact that it became a veritable prison, shutting out abundance in every realm of our lives. We realized that we were paying a high price for our scarcity mentality.

It has been said that network marketing is a personal development journey thinly disguised as a business. That was certainly true for us. We did the business, we went through the personal development and then … we connected with a principle ….as if we’d never seen it before.

As many may be aware tithing is a kingdom (biblical) principle. Even if you are not a person of faith, the principle of giving works to create an openness and abundance in your life. “Give and you will get….” It sounds so mercenary. But it’s not just about money. This principle works for me and for everyone, as it has for many successful people who will share with you that they tithe and it actually works.
What is a Tithe?
A tithe is ten percent of your whole income before deductions, not 1% or 5%, but 10%. Some teachers may tell you that it is okay to start with only 1% or 5% percent and build up to 10%. However, if you are serious about truly living prosperously, and you desire for the law of increase to work fully for you, then you will boldly give your full 10% at the beginning and continue doing so.
One teacher has described it like this:

Well why give 10% of the total income to a place? I started by giving a little and kept increasing it as my returns increased in virtually automatic, invisible and often unexpected ways.
• Giving a tenth of your whole income to God’s good work helps to bring rich financial increase and protect you from negative experiences.
• Tithing makes a “divine connection” with the Source of all wealth It is one of the surest ways to verify within your own consciousness that God is the Source of your supply, and to establish a link with that supply itself.
• Another good thing about tithing is that it helps to eliminate those negative “financial surprises” no one needs, but lots of people have because they have not linked up with the Source of all-good , “the Giver of every good and perfect gift”
• Tithing helps you open your mind to rich ideas. Many people have been exceedingly prospered through tithing. For example, R.G. LeTourneau was given the idea of the huge earth-moving machines after he began to tithe. This one idea made him a multi-millionaire. Read his biography. He started giving 10% and keeping 90%, but later in his life, he gave 90%, kept the 10% and was still wealthy.
• Many exceptionally wealthy people attribute their financial success to tithing. But millions of other people, like you, have discovered that through tithing they live more abundantly and all their needs are met more easily, with plenty left over.
• As a person that tithes you automatically become solution-oriented rather than problem-oriented.

True Abundance is liberating, yet challenging every fiber of your being as it affects every area of your life… Tithing is an important Success principle/secret that I don’t want to miss and I am sure you don’t…..

3 Reasons Why the Word NO Builds Millionaires !!

This week I received an email from one of my mentors, Doug Firebaugh with this title “The 3 Reasons Why the Word NO Builds Millionaires” Boy did this title grab my attention since I have often struggled with the word “NO” also I know the word “NO” has impacted many of my colleagues in business. We have allowed this powerful two-letter word “NO” to stop and paralyze us from moving forward, today it was a matter of discussion in our Empowered Tribe Tuesday Call
However Doug shares that “NO” is an amazing business tool. (I don’t know about you but I’m into finding tools that work !! Aren’t you?) A tool that builds millionaires !!! SO let look at why would anyone LOVE that word “NO” ?
Doug’s 3 Reasons were:

• NO forces you to GROW.
• NO creates a DECISION Position.
• YES catalyzes the paycheck- the word NO determines the amount.

Most people do not like the word NO. I LOVE the word NO. WHY? By Doug Firebaugh ©

I have found that it is the greatest business building tool for ANY business and it helps you in many ways that most people are not aware of. It is also the greatest force for producing millionaires in business. WOW! Now THAT is a re-framing of something! NO’s are the secret to millionaires? Yep. Millionaires have figured out a secret that most have not. The word NO literally costs you NOTHING if you get one. Zip. Nada. Zilch.

How?  Why not ask every person you know to listen to you and your message?

Even if they say NO you still end up with what you started with! You have lost NOTHING! And on top of that- the word NO has tremendous VALUE for your  success in your business.
There are so many reasons why NO is a powerful word for success- but here are three reasons why that it will help you create more enduring success than YES will.

1) The word NO FORCES YOU to GROW.

You have no choice. You MUST grow bigger than the word NO or you will never move past it. NO forces you to GROW- or GO. Either you grow more powerful than the emotional impact the word has- or you will GO the way of everyone else who has been stopped by it. NO is nothing more than an opinion or a question. It is an opinion because many folks assume the wrong thing and say NO or it is a person’s way to position them for asking a question. AND if you do not GROW past the NO- you will never move past where you are in life today. NO means “Next One” and move on to getting closer to a YES.

2) The word NO creates a DECISION Position.

YOU have to make a decision with the word NO. You must decide- “Do I let it stop me- or do I embrace it as what it is- an opinion- and not be emotionally influenced by it?”    ALL success starts with DECISION and most never decide in life.

They choose… and then change their mind.. NO forces you to decide to either keep going and move past it or keep letting it be a barrier to all success. Let’s be REAL- no one is crazy about the word NO - but it is MORE important to success than YES is . WHAT?????? Yep. It not only puts you in a position that you MUST decide on how you are going to respond to it, but also will help you develop the habit of making decisions- the TRUE mark of a leader and a success -soaked winner.

3) The word YES catalyzes the paycheck- the word NO determines the Amount.
READ THAT AGAIN! YES creates the paycheck process and the ability for everyone to get paid. NOTHING happens until something is SOLD. It starts the ball rolling, and in any business or home business, it is what people focus on and long to hear. But the word NO GROWS your skill set and abilities.
Every NO grows you a little stronger, makes you a little better, makes you a little more focused, makes you a lot more aware of the word YES. NO helps you like weight lifting does.

The emotional weight of the word NO forces you to LIFT OFF the impact and makes you stronger in every conversation, every presentation, and every sponsoring effort.
It is your SKILL SET that has the most bearing on your results, but NO sharpens your skill set like a fine-edged knife sharpener and gets you ready to slice through every negative effortlessly.
The word YES creates the paycheck but the word NO will always determine the amount.
And what will always determine the success you have is the determination and skill set you have combined with effective actions- all grown, improved and enlarged by the word NO.
Use this formula:- YES = CREATE and NO = $$$

Plain and simple. How many NO’s a person gets will determine the success that person gets or does not get. If you get a LOT of NO’s- you are going to get a LOT of YES’s as well. Never fear the word NO. Love it. Embrace it. Look at it as an ATM machine and it is there for your usage. If YOU control the impact the word NO has on you…you will control the impact your paycheck will have on your bank account.

Its interesting as Doug has explained so simply and powerfully that the word NO FORCES YOU to GROW. At the moment I am in very high pressure 90-day goal and I’m taking massive action. After reading this and working through my next action steps, its interesting to observe all the emotions and fear I have around the word “NO”. So, am I going to be crippled by the word NO? Does it force me into a position to make a decision even to declare where I stand with my business? … In not making a decision I’m actually choosing!! Powerful stuff guys. So in choosing and declaring, I’m pushing through bringing on the YES that is the catalyst to my journey. And what will determine my paycheck? It excites me to think that the No’s determine the amount !!!

Share your perceptions around the word ” NO” and how you have solved the issue in building your business or just facing life.

Thanks for sharing
