Are You Making New Year’s Resolutions?

New Year’s Resolutions

It’s a funny time of year. Soon, the gyms and weight loss clinics across the glove will be filled with people who all did one thing – they made a resolution for the New Year to slim down; take some weight off; get healthy.

Sadly, less than 10% will succeed with this new goal and plan.

Most have not written down this goal and that makes a big difference between setting the goal and achieving the goal.

How are you coming in your goal to be financially free? Do you have your goals written down? Have you started your business yet? I don’t just mean have you signed up. That isn’t really starting. I mean are you in action; sending a card a day and a gift a week?

Are you following up? Are you asking people to send out a card through their system so they can experience the power in the system?

Maybe you haven’t even signed up yet. What are you waiting for?

The economy to get better? You control your own economy.

The stars to align just right? You align your own stars.

Your belief to improve? Is that it? Do you struggle with belief over whether you can succeed in your own home based business?

Let me ask you a question – if I can do it (and I have and I am!) why could you not? I promise you, if you will just get committed, you can have exactly what you want!

And, I would love to help you in that journey!

How would you like to have an Online Greeting Card Business? Would you like to be part of the next “Netflix?” The Netflix of the Greeting Card Business?

Help us revolutionize the world! Help us create and spread a message of abundance!

Bugs on Your Business Windshield

Business Challenges – How Will You Handle Them?

On a recent road trip, I experienced firsthand some “bugs on the windshield.” We were out of the city,  driving up a mountain and drove through a LARGE swarm of some kind of big, awful bug and our windshield was SOAKED in guts and water (sorry, a little graphic!)

It made me think about some of the challenges people face sometimes in their network marketing business and that phrase we hear in Network Marketing – “Bugs on the Windshield.”

Sometimes, you get pounded with a swarm. Here are some examples –

Someone who you really counted on as a leader quits.

Someone who you really counted on signs up with someone else.

The company events are too far.

You waited on hold too long for customer service.

There are too many conference calls.

There is too much training.

There isn’t enough training.

There are too many emails.

An email or phone call doesn’t get returned quickly enough.

The answer can’t be found.

Whatever it is, all of us have those times that we feel the bugs have invaded. It’s going to happen in life; friendships; with children; and with our life partners. Sometimes, it invades an entire town or community. It certainly happens in business.

You’ve heard it before – Tough times don’t last but tough people do.

You are here because you are “a tough person!!!”

NOTE TO SELF – STOP WHINING; STOP THE PITY PARTY; STOP FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF; GET OFF YOUR DUFF AND GET BACK IN THE GAME.

We all have stuff that goes on in real life and things that get us down. And, the key words are – WE ALL DO! Everyone who ever built a successful business; every athlete who ever won the gold medal; everyone everywhere has challenges.

It’s how we deal with those challenges that make the difference between those who succeed and those who will quit.

The reality is, we can’t change any of the past, or those things that have happened.

Things change; people change; teams change. My son cried his 7 year old heart out at the end of his first hockey season. He knew he would not get the same team again the next season. He was right. He had a different team; and another one the next season, and so on. And they were all wonderful in their own way, and yet different.

Our team’s will change; leadership changes; products change, and yet there is always reason to embrace that change and make room for the new that awaits us. It’s all about looking at the door opening and not at the one closing.

You are a champion. And, you have a championship season ahead of you. If you just stay in the game, you won’t choke at the free throw line. You’ll sink the ball; be lifted on the team’s shoulders and ride off into the sunset.

When business “slow downs” happen, the first thing to look at is yourself. Did you change anything? Make an adjustment? Take time out to do this, that or the other thing? What are you doing differently? Are you taking the same action steps daily?

There are two things that speak loud and clear – results and excuses.

Which do you produce more of on a daily basis?

When your business isn’t moving forward the way you want it to, who do you blame?

When chaos consumes your life, who do you blame?

At the end of the day, when you are in a funk, who do you blame?

In my early days in my business, I lived with a lot of excuses and blame –

Things will be better when the company does THIS.

Things will be better when my downline does THAT.

More people will be interested when THIS happens.

What a train wreck that kind of thinking was!

I have watched people spend thousands of dollars and thousands of hours building systems and the “perfect” mousetrap, and yet no more mice were caught. I’ve looked for that holy grail as well.

Success in this business is NOT about systems; NOT about the next new product; NOT about the perfect script; NOT about what others can and should do for you.

Yes, systems can help; and new products are nice; and new scripts may feel more comfortable. But they are not what determine your ultimate success.

Success in this business, day in and day out, lies with YOU. Every day, success is a choice. Every step you take and every step you delay determines your success.

What steps will you take and what steps will you delay today? The answers will determine your success and the speed of it.

Today, I feel empowered by what lies ahead; challenged by the new things that are coming; new trainings being taught and new ways of reaching out to people. We don’t need more training; more calls; or more “stuff.” We just need more nuts and bolts action. Everything anyone needs to be successful is already available. The leaders will reach out and grab it. You just need to point them in the right direction and certainly, support them.

If someone on your team doesn’t take action, and you know you have done your job in pointing and supporting, please don’t feel that somehow you haven’t done enough or could be doing more. Success and the desire for it comes from within each person.

Some get started and succeed without ever having any real sponsorship at all and yet they sought out what they needed. The leaders will always do that. Be there to celebrate and embrace the moment with them.

Join us! We look forward to the journey with you!

Why would you start a Business Sending Out Cards

Knowing WHY You Want to Start a Business

If you decided to start a business of Sending Out Cards with our team, do you know why? What would you be working for in your business? Do you have goals and dreams of what will be different in your life once you have “made it?” Do you have these concepts written out on paper?

Developing your “why” is a powerful step in insuring that you set yourself up for success in your network marketing business from the very beginning. Think about it – Network Marketing is a volunteer business. We choose on our own to get started and pursue a business. No one forces us to sign on the dotted line. For many, this can be a double edged sword.

This means there is no boss setting up a job description for you; no one making sure that you complete the tasks necessary to be successful; and no guaranteed paycheck! You are now your own boss and you are in charge of your own success and paycheck. You must be self-directed and disciplined. You must do it without being told to.

Here are some thoughts on creating a powerful why for your business –

Laying your foundation for success is important to keep you in the game and taking action steps daily. When you are very clear on what it is you are working toward, it makes this much easier and more fulfilling. After all, it’s about more than just money. What will the money provide for you?

I remember my first day in Network Marketing as if it were yesterday. It was filled with all kinds of different emotions – excitement, belief, desire, anticipation, fear, disbelief and anxiety. I felt all of these feelings and all at the same time.

Have you felt that way? Do you feel that way now? If so, you are quite normal, which means you have what it takes to be successful!

The secret of the first day is to write down those positive feelings right then. Put them in a notebook, along with your goals, dreams and the vision for your life. This helps shape your reasons for pursuing your business.

Those positive excited feelings are what you are going to fall back on each step throughout your career in Network Marketing. Still today, before I sit down to make phone calls or send an email to prospective business partners, I conjure up those excited feelings and bask in the feelings and emotions that they create. After a few minutes of doing this, I am inspired and motivated to make those calls and make them great!

I suggest you start a dream book. This will serve you well as you travel on your journey. I know CEO’s of Fortune 500 companies that have dream books. It’s a very powerful tool. Go to a nice bookstore, such as Barnes and Noble or Borders and buy a journal with blank pages. Lines aren’t necessary. Pick one that really fits you. Do you like fabric? Floral or stripes? Paisley or something else? Maybe leather is more your style.

Pick something that really fits you. After all, you are going to create your perfect life in this book, so it needs to be YOU!

Begin thinking about the things you want in your life. There are three areas to consider –

Things you want to have. (Your dream house, dream car, exotic trips, jewelry, etc.)

Things you want to do. (Start a foundation for disadvantaged children; speak onstage at your company convention or a generic Network Marketing event, be a Top 10 Income Earner in your company, etc.)

Who you want be. (This is a BIG one. Are you a teacher, motivator, inspirational, or altruistic? This involves words that are about you. Words that people use to describe you.)

Get some magazines and begin cutting out pictures and word descriptions of what you want to have, do and be. Now, begin pasting them into your journal pages, and feel free to write about them, too.

You would be amazed at how many of those pictures from my own dream book are now a part of my life. Some of them I cut out, pasted in the book and never really thought of again. And, then, they showed up in my life!

Read through the pages of this book twice a day, at least. Once in the morning, first thing, and once at night, just before you drift off to sleep. Run these “pictures” through your mind every day to get yourself inspired and create an anchor for your success.

Now, you have a very powerful reason established for pursuing your business. As you build it, this will compel you to continue moving forward when someone tells you “no” (and they will), someone says you are crazy, or tells you that you have joined a cult or pyramid! Let your dreams and passion keep you from ever quitting or losing your drive to keep going.

Surround yourself with people who support you in your dreams and those who also share your goals. Work daily on developing the right attitude for success, and keep your belief system strong. Believe in yourself, the profession of Network Marketing and the power of your dreams.

You’ll get out of your business exactly what you put into it. Make sure you have compelling dreams and goals and give your business the best you have each and every day, and it will reward you with the best offered!

Let us get a business pack sent to you so you can decide and get started with our powerful team!

MLM Business – What Is It?

By 1 Comment

What is the Business System of a Greeting Card Business?

What is Network Marketing? What is MLM? What is Direct Sales?

Great question; and one that many have a hard time explaining.

Did you know that in just a few hours a week, you can create a major second income that continues to increase over time? In fact, with persistence and commitment, this income could soon replace your current full time income. It could even create a lifestyle of the rich and famous.

That is MLM; Direct Sales. Here is a thorough explanation:


What if it worked for you like it has worked for so many others, including me?

When was the last time you recommended a good book, restaurant or movie to a friend? How often do you do that? Probably pretty often, right?

But, when was the last time the publisher, restaurant or movie producer sent you a “royalty” check for the referral?

Probably, never.

Well, despite the way things usually are, the idea behind what is now the fastest growing home based business trend in America and around the world, Network Marketing, is that if you get paid for recommending things you like, use and believe in, you’ll do this more and more! And, you’ll probably find some others that want to do the same thing.

That’s it in a nutshell.

Here is a short, 20 minute movie that explains our business system quite well. Watch Brilliant Compensation!
