Earl Nightengale– He is not that scary

 Earl Nightengale
Some years ago, the late Nobel prize-winning Dr. Albert Schweitzer was asked by a reporter, “Doctor, what’s wrong with men today?” The great doctor was silent a moment, and then he said, “Men simply don’t think!”

Earl Nightingale–Black and white

But by the time they’re 65, only one will be rich, four will be financially independent, five will still be working, and 54 will be broke — depending on others for life’s necessities.

1 SUCCESS

First, we have to define success and here is the best definition I’ve ever been able to find: “Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.”

A success is anyone who is realizing a worthy predetermined ideal, because that’s what he or she decided to do … deliberately. But only one out of 20 does that! The rest are “failures.”
We learn to read by the time we’re seven. We learn to make a living by the time we’re 30. Often by that time we’re not only making a living, we’re supporting a family.x

2 GOALSHave you ever wondered why so many people work so hard and honestly without ever achieving anything in particular,

and why others don’t seem to work hard, yet seem to get everything? They seem to have the “magic touch.” You’ve heard people say, “Everything he touches turns to gold.” Have you ever noticed that a person who becomes successful tends to continue to become more successful? And, on the other hand, have you noticed how someone who’s a failure tends to continue to fail?
Now let’s take another ship — just like the first — only let’s not put a crew on it, or a captain at the helm. Let’s give it no aiming point, no goal, and no destination. We just start the engines and let it go. I think you’ll agree that if it gets out of the harbor at all, it will either sink or wind up on some deserted beach — a derelict. It can’t go anyplace because it has no destination and no guidance.
Throughout history, the great wise men and teachers, philosophers, and prophets have disagreed with one another on many different things. It is only on this one point that they are in complete and unanimous agreement — the key to success and the key to failure is this:

3 WHATWE THINK ABOUT

It was first promulgated by some of the earliest wise men,

and it appears again and again throughout the Bible. But very few people have learned it or understand it. That’s why it’s strange, and why for some equally strange reason it virtually remains a secret.
Everything comes if a man will only wait … a human being with a settled purpose must accomplish it, and nothing can resist a will that will stake even existence for its fulfillment.”
Well, it’s pretty apparent, isn’t it? We become what we think about. A person who is thinking about a concrete and worthwhile goal is going to reach it, because that’s what he’s thinking about. Conversely, the person who has no goal, who doesn’t know where he’s going, and whose thoughts must therefore be thoughts of confusion, anxiety, fear, and worry will thereby create a life of frustration, fear, anxiety and worry. And if he thinks about nothing … he becomes nothing.

4 THE STRANGEST SECRET TO WORK FOR YOU

1. Write on a card what it is you want more that anything else. It may be more money. Perhaps you’d like to double your income or make a specific amount of money. It may be a beautiful home. It may be success at your job. It may be a particular position in life. It could be a more harmonious family.

Look at it every chance you get during the day and just before going to bed at night.

As you look at it, remember that you must become what you think about, and since you’re thinking about your goal, you realize that soon it will be yours. In fact, it’s really yours the moment you write it down and begin to think about it.

“Act as though it were impossible to fail,”

as Dorothea Brande said. No matter what your goal — if you’ve kept your goal before you every day — you’ll wonder and marvel at this new life you’ve found.
Your success will always be measured by the quality and quantity of service you render. Most people will tell you that they want to make money, without understanding this law. The only people who make money work in a mint. The rest of us must earn money. This is what causes those who keep looking for something for nothing, or a free ride, to fail in life. Success is not the result of making money; earning money is the result of success — and success is in direct proportion to our service.
Above all … don’t worry! Worry brings fear, and fear is crippling. The only thing that can cause you to worry during your test is trying to do it all yourself. Know that all you have to do is hold your goal before you; everything else will take care of itself.

Life doesn’t happen to us it happens for us.

We don’t understand fully the treasures that the universe has for us. Pain. Yea it hurts like hell. It sometimes paralyze us to the point that we really can’t function properly. I never lost a loved one due to death. And Im grateful for that. But at the same time i don’t know how I’m going to react when someone does die. So how am i gonna take that ???  Im gonna take it that they served their purpose. And i learned what i was supposed to learn from them. They’re still here but in a different better form.
  I did lose a love. And I can’t imagine a more stinging pain. It doesn’t just hurt in the heart. It hurts everywhere. Can’t move,can’t eat can’t sleep. Can’t work can’t think.
Yea. I couldn’t do anything. Until I changed my state! Started thinking about what I’m grateful for and what what makes me happy and proud. It didn’t immediately get rid of the feelings. But it became a little easier to deal with. Now we are friends and hopefully will become besties 🙂
   I just wanted to say that we don’t know y the universe does what it does except that it does it for our benefit. And we can see that benefit only when we stop crying.

Quick tips on a strong retention of downline

Anyone who has recruited more than a couple of people into their network marketing business has experienced a lack of retention. While you are recruiting a new partner for your mlm business 2 others are dropping out. Obviously, this is frustrating. It is even more frustrating to see people leaving faster than you can recruit them. What can you do to build a network marketing downline that becomes more stable?

Too often we are so caught up in recruiting a new mlm downline that we forget about the downline we already have. We focus all of our energies on the toughest part of building the business which is recruiting. Yet we forget to take action on the easiest part: Follow-up customer service.

While follow-up customer service may seem difficult to get to sometimes, it is extremely important for future growth and improving your retention rates. The number of people in the downline who drop out should not be dropping out like they are.

Your goal should be to improve the retention rate within your own team and to make your customer service to your downline a priority. It is far more difficult to recruit new people than it is to follow-up and follow-through with those you already have.

Below are seven things you MUST do to increase the chances of keeping your network marketing business with a full and profitable downline.
1. Implement a customer service policy. If you truly want to build a solid and profitable network marketing business, you need to provide service and follow-up to your downline. 

2. Follow-up is following-through. You must follow-up with your new downline within one week. Call them within one week of to see if they are using the products and if they have any questions you can answer.

3. Staying in contact shows you care. Building a successful downline for your network marketing business is all about building relationships.

4. Anticipate the needs of your downline. By staying in contact, you can anticipate or stay ahead of your their needs. As someone who is successful yourself you know what they are going to thru and will go through to build their business.

5. Keep records on your downline. Jot down notes on your converstaions for future follow-up. 

6. Work closely and be supportive. No one is guaranteed success. However, you will be amazed at how high of a success rate you will have with those you personally sponsor when you work closely with them and are supportive of their efforts. 

7. Create intimacy with your downline. Show them you are not just in it to get their money. If you provide value through concern for them as a person and deliver quality customer service in every way possible, you will find your downline will be there for the long term. 

In summary make follow-up and customer service with your network marketing mlm downline a priority. This is the key to higher retention and increased income for you and them in the future.
