''Spammers'' OR ''People That Need Help''

People are often banned for spamming.
I'm sure you've noticed lots of blatant advertising as soon as you join.
I don't know about you but I see two different types of people acussed of spamming:

1. PEOPLE THAT SPAM ON PURPOSE
* The ones that come accross as ''know it all'' personalities, with ''the best thing since sliced bread'' poster. I'm sure that you've seen some of those posters sometimes.
They are flashy with all the bells and wistles attached.
Or, they might just describe a huge so called ''money maker''. The more hype involved, the better. You know what I mean.
They'll put that poster or script in e-mails, videos, profiles etc... Depending on the personality type, some will post just one time, and others don't ever give up on stuffing it in your face.
I remember one example when I got an advertising post right in my guestbook. No hello, no nothing attached to it.
I wrote to the person asking if he was aware that he was spamming. His answer back was unbelievable.
He pretty much said that I would not take what he was offering, so that is why he post it in my guestbook.
I wonder if it ever occur to him that maybe I just don't want his stuff.

2. PEOPLE THAT DON'T KNOW THEY ARE SPAMMING

* The ones that are new to the business with nobody helping them. I've been there, a few years ago, uneducated, excited about my new opportunity and eager to show it to everyone in sight.
I had no help, I had no system to follow and I was in a business model full of hype.
The only thing I had was an upline that I only heard from if I didn't buy anything that month.

I did not know where to advertise, the little money I had went on buying useless leads and phone scripts from big ''guru's''. I was like a blindfolded person trying to catch anything with a pulse.
I was joining business communities, forums and I was placing ads everywhere I could,
hoping that someone will join me. After all, there is word out there that we are all numbers, right?
So there I was playing a numbers game in complete darkness.

Nobody offered me any help, all I was told was ''you're spamming, we'll ban you'' .
I was like an child yelled at over and over but not told what he did wrong or how to make it right.
Did anybody come out and say: ''Let me help you'' ? Nooooo.
Well, there were the ocasional ''let me help you for a price'' offers but that does not count.

Most of us have challenges in the beginning, even you, big guru's out there started somewhere. Did you somehow forget?
Next time you see a so called ''spammer'' ask yourself if that could have been you years ago with no help, no money and no hope. Take a step back and think before you point the finger.

I hope that I helped someone today!

Your Profile Can Make You Or Break You...

You are the message....

Your profile should be about you...
A profile name as XYZ Money Maker will do you a huge diservice.
You either will not be remembered at all or even worse, someone will google your name a year from now and the search will come up empty, or attached to some hypey link .
Your Google ''attachment'' will stay there for a long long time so choose your opportunities and profile wisely.

It is You that people are looking for so come out from behind that link. Come out...come out, wherever you are...
What's your name, tell us a bit about yourself...
A link covering you might be just like a bad tattoo that you regret getting 10 years later.

Your name stays the same. A picture of you attached to the name would be great to have.
People do have a photographic memory, and if you stay long enough in one place they will remember you.

Are you holding on to ''the grass is greener on the other side'' mentality? I can tell you now that the grass is really greener only if you are educated.
Otherwise, you'll end up on the same type of lawn, different landlord, and you won't know the difference.
If you jump from place to place and from company to company, I suggest that you take a break today and look around.
Ask yourself why is that happening...
Did you ever actually due your due diligence before you jumped at... ''ground floor, now is the time'' opportunity, or at the... ''we've been around for decades and our product gives you wings'' opportunity?
And due diligence does not mean listening to what your ''superstar space commander'' top income earner tells you every Saturday morning via conference call.
It also does not matter that the companies board of directors came straight from Wall Street. That does not put any money in your pocket...Of course, if you want to, you can find out from them how to make money... on Wall Street.
It's like going to a dentist for eye surgery. He can be the best dentist in the world but that does not do you any good, does it?

If you did not research, now would be a good time to start...Your life depends on it, I promise you.
Going back to the profile, if nobody told you that branding yourself is the right way, then you definitely don't have a proven system to follow.

The proven system is not the upline, by the way...
The proven system is an actual system to follow step by step. And not all systems are created equal. Again, that is where due diligence comes into play again...

Education is very important. Put a few hours into learning what works and what does not in this industry. A few hours go a long way. Your financial future depends on it.

And don't forget that YOU ARE THE MESSAGE!
Stop hiding behind a logo or a bottle of juice and let people see you.
Did you know that the first thing people are considering before they join is who did the presentation?
How can people join you if they don't know you're there?

I hope that I've helped someone today!

I appreciate you,

Your... Termination... With Or Without Cause?

So you've joined a great company? For what purpose? If you are like most people, the ultimate reason was to retire in X amount of years, right?...
Wrong!... Well, ''wrong'' for 95% of us at least!
Why ? Because of the contract you've signed right before you gave all your personal info to the company.
If you say that you never signed a contract, think again...
''Check the box if you agree with the policies and procedures''... does that ring a bell?
All legal companies have a contract that by law you need to sign.
If you look for it, it should be on the first page of the companies corporate website...or not.
I said it should be for a reason. Not? Well, here is your first red flag...
Not to confuse ''policies and procedures'' with ''terms and conditions''. They are two separate things.

- Sometimes companies require that you sign up before you can see the contract. That is absolutely insane.
Translation: ''Give me your money and only then I'll tell you if this business model works in your best interest or not.''
* How long is your contract?
The longer the contract, the greater the possibility that the policies important to you are being hidden in "Legalese". The writers of your contract ( usually lawyers) know that most people lose focus after reading the first few pages so the worst stuff is on the last few pages.

* Do you have a ''yearly contract renewal''? If you do, did you know that the company has the right to not renew your contract?

* Do you have the word ''termination'' in your contract? That should not be there. Period!
''With or without cause'' ? That means that they could pretty much terminate you for any reason including but not limited to you being too tall or too short.

* Do you have the word ''ongoing'' ? It could be ''ongoing selling'', ''ongoing training'', ''ongoing motivation'', ''ongoing communication with your downline''...
Not just that, you also need to provide the company with proof of your ongoing communication. You have to start using a file cabinet and fill it out with the proofs of all the e-mails and phone calls between you and your downline.
And you better have all that available if someone asks for it, otherwise you can be terminated.
Translation: You could never retire, you'll have to constantly motivate, recruit and sell till the day you die.

* Sometimes the company can terminate you ''if you violate the policies and procedures or for any other reason'', at their ''sole discretion'', ''with or without written notice''.
Translation: They don't have to tell you why they've stopped paying you, and if you go to court you have nothing in your hands to prove anything.

* How about the ''actions of household members''? Why would you be held responsible for what your spouse (that is not in your business) says or does?

* ''Succession''?
Did you ever wonder what happens to your bonuses if something happens to you? Well, it might say in the contract that your successors ''must qualify''.
Translation: If they don't continue selling, recruiting etc..., then they lose all your hard earned money.

Did you just say ''they would not do that to me''? Oh...but they can and they will!...
They did it in the past and they'll do it again!
If they don't mean it, then why is it there?

I understand that the company needs to be protected, but how about you and I? Who is protecting us?
Answer: No one but our due diligence before we join.
Make sure that your company has your best interest at heart! A contract should be a two way street. Does this contract protect you or the company?

Oh, and one more thing. If it so happens that you want to sue them, you might not have the right to a trial by jury, or, you might have signed that you don't hold them responsable...

Some Don't Want what You Have! So What?

You just have to be who you are.
The best you can do is be certain that you are connected to your
Source Energy, and let everybody else figure it out for themselves.
Some of them will adore you, some of them will hate you - and none
of it has anything to do with you.
Choose what feels good to you and leave everybody else to choose
what they want.
Don't spend any time saying, "They should choose differently and
they'd feel better."
Instead say, "They're choosing whatever they're choosing; I'm
choosing what I'm choosing, and I'm feeling good while I'm choosing
it."
And let that be the end of it.

I appreciate you,

''Frogs''- An Inspirational Story...

FROGS

Once upon a time there was a bunch of tiny frogs.... who arranged a running competition.
The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower.
A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants....

The race began....

Honestly:

No one in crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower.
You heard statements such as:
"Oh, WAY too difficult!!"

"They will NEVER make it to the top."

or:

"Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!"
The tiny frogs began collapsing. One by one....
Except for those, who in a fresh tempo, were climbing higher and higher....

The crowd continued to yell,? "It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!"
More tiny frogs got tired and gave up....
But ONE continued higher and higher and higher....
This one wouldn't give up!

At the end everyone else had given up climbing the tower. Except for the one tiny frog who, after a big effort, was the only one who reached the top!

THEN all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it?

A contestant asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to succeed and reach the goal?
It turned out....that the winner was DEAF!!!!

The wisdom of this story is:
Never listen to other people's tendencies to be negative or pessimistic....
Always think of the power words have.
Because everything you hear and read will affect your actions!
Therefore ALWAYS be....POSITIVE!
And above all:
Be DEAF when people tell YOU that you cannot fulfill your dreams!
Always think:
I can do this!
