I am just fired up about my personal development I've been doing lately. The past couple of days we've been talking about having a Purpose and working towards it. Having a plan of Action.
What I want to talk about is having a Passion for your Purpose. Have you ever noticed people working their job and they are unhappy with it? Come on, I notice it, I know you see it too. Do you think they have passion for their job? I don't think so.
What about you? Are you passionate about what you're doing? Are you happy and excited to do what you do? It's been said:
*Find out what you are Passionate about (something you absolutely love) and Find a way to make a living doing it.
Now that is a pretty generic statement so you can apply that to any industry and make it work. But let's think about the industry you and I are currently building and that is MLM/Network Marketing. Are you enjoying what you're doing? Do you get excited when it's time to start building your business for the day?
For me it excites me to know that I am helping people. I know this is part of my purpose. I have the potential to help thousands of people with my business and also through the system that I offer. What about you? Do you see yourself creating a change? Are you passionate about what you're doing? Think about it..

Let's be Frank, WHY are YOU here?
Have you ever heard the saying "Everything happens for a reason." ? I've heard it thousands of times, and I believe it. I suppose you could say the reason is connected with a purpose. So what is your purpose for where you are today? What's the WHY behind everything you do?
If you have a purpose or a strong reason WHY then you must plan what your activities are that will connect with your reason and make it come to be. For example, let's say you wanted to start a shelter to rescue abused horses. What would be some of the actions you would take to make that happen? First off you would want to find some land. You would want to make plans to have a barn. You would arrange to have it built. You may find volunteers to help with the horses. Etc. You get the idea.
Well think of the same thing but this time think about what your life purpose REALLY is and what that means to you. One of my mentors says that your WHY or your purpose should make you cry. It should really MEAN something to you. I have a friend and her why is to travel the country and see her kids and grand kids. For this reason she has made a plan. A plan of action.
I write this to show that we all need to be aware of why we're building a business. Is it just a hobby OR is it much more than that? Do you want to OWN YOUR LIFE? Take a moment to think about that........get lost in the moment, what does it mean to own your life?
In that moment where did you go? What did you see? Who was there? What were you doing? This is so important for our success. So please take the time for yourself to create a Reason and then create a Plan of Action.
As always to YOUR Success,
Stefanie

Complaining and Blaming in MLM
I am reading a new book right now and I wanted to share a thought that came up while I was reading yesterday. This little blog is a bit connected with the blog I posted a couple of days ago about being accountable for yourself and you are the only person in control of yourself and you actions and where you are in life. This is important if you ever want to go anywhere in life.
The topic the book was talking about was complaining. Now we have been learning that it's important to be aware of your thoughts and to change them if they are negative because they can control your thinking and in turn create your actions, good or bad.
The point the book was making was that complaining never gets you anywhere. It asked the thought provoking question: Have you ever noticed how when your at work you complain about your spouse? And when you go home you complain about your job? In both cases nothing is being resolved, your spouse and your job will continue to be the same UNLESS something is done to Create a new outcome. If you have a problem at your job, confront the situation or talk to your boss. Or get a new job! And about your spouse talk with your spouse about what's bothering you about your marriage or change the situation and get divorsed.
You have to remember that where you are today is where YOU have taken yourself. The decisions you've made are what put you in this situation. We create our lives. Nothing is handed to us to make us a certain way. We all have free will.
This also has to do with blaming other people for where you are in life. Be accountable for your life.
If you yearn to be successful then YOU have to make it happen. I read something this morning about what Orrin Woodward wrote in one of his latest blogs and he mentioned that we live in a microwave society. We get credit cards and max them out and pay them back later. We expect for things to just happen. We think if we just hang on things will eventually fall into place. It would be nice if this worked but that's why they call it NetWORK Marketing, it takes Time and Work. Woodward says it will take 2-5 years.
Are you ready to own your life? It begins by being accountable for yourself. If you realize that what you've been doing isn't working, you may consider being open to learning something new.
To Your Success,
Stefanie

ACT to Achieve
Do you want a hand out or a hand up? In other words do you want something given to you or do you want to be taught how to do something? One thing that holds a lot of people back from receiving success is the simple fact that they don't hold themselves accountable and they don't take responsibility for their own actions.
Wow, that's a lot to take in at once, but think about it, it's true. Are we expecting things for free? Do we expect our upline to provide our distributors for our organization? Is our family telling others about our amazing products? Are they REALLY trying to help me grow my business. If not they must not care.
These feelings are important to recognize. I have to be honest I have felt this before and these feelings are Wrong! The only person I am responsible for is ME. If I want more success in life and in my business, I am the only one that can control that. I know I need to be better and one of the things I need to remember is that if I want more I have to become more.
I feel you can't move forward unless you come to realize this. And that's why it's so important to be aware of what you're thinking about. If you are thinking negative thoughts like this, be aware of them and change them. Be positive, encourage yourself to take the next step. You can be successful in this business. YOU can do it! But the keyword there is YOU.
Sometimes we can allow our past, age, gender, personality, etc. as an excuse for our lack of success. We can use it as a crutch. We can allow it to hold us back. For example for the next company convention you would like to be recognized for an accomplishment but in the back of your mind you say to yourself "I'm not good at this business, maybe I'm not meant to be in this business" " I'm not reaching my goals, I'll never get there". These both are negative thoughts. They WILL hold you back from EVER reaching your goals and ever moving forward. Again the ONLY person in charge of you is YOU.
Please remember that You are worth it! You are worth it! Believe in yourself!! Believe. I believe in me, let's reach our goals together!!
