I love holidays. They are such fun but they are also a pain, as time seems to be so busy we never seem to get any thing done. This year is no exception.
One thing to be thankful for though is in FLorida at least we have not had a hurricane yet in December. It's getting here so we only have a good 5 months of freedom from watching for those silly things, and packing up and unpacking. It's been quite nuts lately. I'm hoping next season is better.
Have all of you sent out your holiday greeting cards, yet? I was glad to get my 800 or so done and out. Now I can relax, and just finish up my shopping, wrapping and all that other fun stuff.
Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Do You Have Time?
This week, we've had our eyes on Hurricane Wilma. Lots of time as it's been so slow, we all sit and wait. We can't make any plans, as it was due to arrive here days ago. Unfortunately, this year has been totally unreal with one storm after the other.
I do feel so bad for all the folks from Katrina, and Rita, and those horrendous storms that did so much destruction. I am pretty thankful though that I have built my business over the years, so if something ever did happen, I would have income still coming in. Many are not blessed like that, and it's sad to see their homes and jobs wiped out over night.
I believe in freedom, but freedom does not come free. I takes much work and effort to grow a business. The reason more do not do that, is they find it too much work, and that's sad. Everyone that wants to build a business, has to make many sacrifices, as it does take giving up things now so you can have the freedome later.
It's all about choices. You take the time to do something now when you can, or later, it will be too late. Do YOU have the time?
TIME means building your own future and creating a way to have income no matter what happens. THINK ABOUT IT.

Little Things Add Up
Sometimes people don't think of these little things, but it's what you
do today, that has an impact on the rest of your life.
If you're building a business, this takes time. Sometimes, it seems ever
so slow, but those little things you do add up. If you consistently talk
to people, show your products daily and stick with what you're doing, over
time, those little daily actions will grow you a nice business. By the
same token, if you do nothing but THINK about getting started, putting that
off day after day, waiting for tomorrow to come, or waiting until the moon
is in proper alignment with all the planets, you are destined to fail.
It's nothing more than the law of cause and effect. I believe you get back
exactly what you put out. If you are NOT working your business, it will
not grow. It takes work and effort. It does not mean you have to give up
your entire life, but it does mean, you do put in some effort into your
business daily.
Just think: What if you gave up one hour of television and spent that
time productively working your business instead? What if you gave up
wasting time, in chat rooms and clowning around? What if you gave up
things that didn't matter, and put that time into showing someone how they
could become independent? What if you gave up only 1-2 hours a day, 5 or
6 days a week? What if you did that consistently over the next year until
it became a habit?
Habits good or bad take time to acquire. Make it a habit to make better
choices. Make it a habit to talk to people, show your product or your
services and do it DAILY. Be consistent. It's just the cause and
effect, the little daily actions you do over time that will produce the
results.
WHAT DO YOU WANT ?
WHERE DO YOU WANT TO BE 10 YEARS FROM NOW?
Whatever it is, getting there will require action, and it starts with the
first step, and commitment. Get started today, on the path to your
dreams. Make a commitment to yourself that you will make that extra
effort, to do something daily to grow your business.
Little things add up, good or bad and over time you get the results from
YOUR own efforts.
It's so sad to me that so many in our industry get started with a company
and a product. They get all excited, so excited they can't sleep at night
thinking of the potential. They go out and talk to a few people, that may
not share their excitement, so instead of moving on to talk to a few more,
they start to make excuses of why it may not work, and dwell on the
negatives and fall backwards.
Habits good or bad are habits, and it's not the person you're talking to
today that may turn into the superstar. It may be someone they talked to
that talked to someone else, and down the road, those that hang in there
and become consistent will reap a massive harvest.
In my own business, I have consistently worked it, and watched it
prosper. Today I'm working with some strong leaders and great people,
many of whom I didn't even KNOW last year. It's fun and exciting. You
never know who will lead you to someone that just takes off. However,
you won't find that someone unless you yourself, make a commitment to work
on reaching your dreams.
Little things can grow and add up into big things, as you keep on moving
forward.
Look back at your last month, (September). How did that go for you? IF
I asked you right now how many people you talked to in September could you
tell me? If I asked you how many new people came onto your team, do you
know? How many people did you talk to last week? Do you keep
track? How many did you follow up with?
Don't sweat the small stuff, cause when it's all said and done
it's all small stuff anyway. It's the little things that add up to
major things, so don't let little stuff get in the way of your future.
Little things... one by one, add up. IF you are taking action to move
forward in a positive way, doors start to open. If you're still sitting
wasting time, not opening your mouth, not talking to anyone, you'll still
be there till the cows come home. I know some people that have been
"THINKING" about making a decision to move forward for years, and are still
"THINKING" today. Thinking without action it totally useless and a big
waste of time.
IF I want to go to the store, I can THINK about it all day long, but
unless I get up, get the keys, go get in the car and drive there, I will
not have the items I was thinking about. If I THINK about calling a new
prospect, but I don't pick up the phone and dial the number, I can think
till hell freezes over, someone else will call that prospect, and tell him
about the same business, and he may join and become a super star. My
thinking about that, will do no good for me, if I didn't take the action to
follow up and call him.
STOP THINKING AND START DOING. Take action. Your life and your dreams
start NOW, and today is all you have. If you're still thinking, STOP
thinking and take action. It's the little actions you do that will carve
out your future.
ACTION is key...take action now and make those little things add up.
Hope your future is very bright. It all depends on YOU. Let me encourage
you to start today making the little things count in a big way.

Do You KNOW What You Really Want Out Of A Business?
Building a business takes really KNOWING what you want. Do you
really know what you want in building your business?
Many times people are sick of their jobs, or their mundane lifestyle
and think it would be fun to be free and not have to report for duty
every day. They may THINK they want a different life, yet sometimes
they really do NOT know what they want.
They dream about freedom, yet they are AFRAID of it. What IF it
didn't work?
They also think they want to build an on-line business, so they jump
on-line and look around to study and see what is available. All too
often they jump into things without doing their homework, or even
considering if it makes sense.
Most of the time they joined in the spur of the moment, and later
found out that to get the income they wanted, also takes work.
On the flip side of those that jump to quick are those that NEVER
can make a decision, they look and look, and kick tires, ask questions
and basically waste your time. You have to learn to recognize the
different types of people. You will meet them all.
FIND OUT WHAT THEY WANT
Get to know people that are looking at working with you. Take time
to build a relationship and help them find out what they want. If
they don't know what they want, there is NO way they will get
any place.
Spend QUALITY time with quality people, people that do what
they SAY and people that are willing to take action.
Knowing yourself and knowing what you want it the first step
in getting there.
Building a business is a lot of fun but it's also challenging.
It takes being self disciplined as you must learn to budget your time
and work only this work is different. There is no boss standing
over your head with a club or an ax. You must show up, budget
your time and work.
Too often it's easy to SAY you are going to work, but when someone
invites you out to do something fun, or a TV rerun comes on, it's easier
NOT to work. If you think about your "JOB", how long would you be
working there if you only showed up when you felt like it.
IT TAKES COMMITMENT.
I've been both places, in the corporate world, where I reported to
work each day, rain or shine and had to ask for time off, and when
I did get it, I had to make up my work.
I've been in networking when I worked a JOB and had to do that part time
and I've been thru the ups and downs of building a business only to have
it close down, or worse yet to find I'd been associated with crooks and
have to walk away.
It's NOT Easy, but I can tell you, I would rather spend the rest of my life
in my own business, than ONE day ever again working for someone else.
I have become UNEMPLOYABLE and intend to stay that way.
I've worked hard, learned the hard way but it's been worth it and a true
blessing. I've grown from being that shy quiet person, into someone
that found there was NOTHING to be afraid of by going after my dreams.
Today, I work for me. I come and go as I please. Last month, the income
I earned for the month of February, was about 50% of what I used to make
for an ENTIRE year and then some and that was exciting.
I drive the car of my choice, and I get to travel and go places, and see the
world. This year, I am going on 2 cruises, and several cross country
trips, already booked and paid for. My house is paid for, and I pay
off all my charges each month.
When I worked in the corporate world I never could take off more than
4-5 days TOPS at any given time, so certainly would never have had
time for a 2 week cruise. I also had added expenses, transportation,
and wear and tear on my car.
Today my office is a 30 sec commute across the hall. My new SUV
I purchased last May has only 4,000 miles on it. I don't have to go
out when there is traffic, I plan to go when the others are stuck at work.
I go when there is no traffic, and no lines.
Life is good. It changed for me forever and it can change for you.
It started changing when I began to think about what I really wanted,
and ways to get it.
NEVER LISTEN TO THOSE THAT TELL YOU IT CAN'T BE DONE
I have been told my the so called "experts" that NO ONE can build
a business on the Internet. They say network marketing takes face
to face room meetings. HMMMM Wrong! I've built my business
90% online.
They also way no one can build an income in more than one company
at once...after all you have to FOCUS. WRONG AGAIN. That is a
lie companies want people to think so they can control them. If I wanted
to follow being told what to do I would have kept my "JOB". I now have
3 very solid incomes flowing in each month, some weekly checks and
some monthly checks.
I just hired a new financial planner to set up some retirement type
accounts, and invest some $$$ for the future. My accountant also
handles all the tracking of things and it works well.
It took me YEARS and YEARS to learn this one simple fact. Why
should I be doing yard work, when I could earn more money in that
time working my business and hire it done? Why should I spend
weeks and days trying to keep books, when I can hire an expert
throw everything in an envelope and let him keep the books. I
have learned to spend MY time working with my teams, being
sure they have the tools to succeed, and when they succeed I
succeed. I spend quality time with quality people.
I have learned NEVER to drag along people, it's much easier
to work with those that want to work. It's easier to run with 100
than to drag one. Don't drag.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
What do you truly want? Are you really happy where you are?
Do you report to a JOB each day you hate? Do you count the hours
till you can get off to go where you'd rather be?
Do you have to get up to a blaring alarm clock when you're rather sleep in?
Do you have to go out rain, sleet or hail, sit in traffic that crawls along
cause the masses are going at the same time? I never figured out why
they call that RUSH hour when no one is rushing, they are sitting bumper
to bumper.
Do you constantly worry about layoffs? Do you think you will have the
same JOB 10-20 years from now or do they put people out to pasture
before they can retire?
THINK ABOUT THIS: IF time and money were NO object, what would you
be doing with your life?
What do you TRULY want? What are your dreams?
Dreams are MADE to happen. What is stopping you from living the life
of your dreams?
I am doing exactly what I want today, because I refused to let anyone
tell me I could NOT succeed in what I wanted to do. I wanted to build
a business of my own, where I could have true residual income coming in
whether I worked or not. Today I do.
I wanted to be in a position to help others learn to grow into positive
motivated people, and read their dreams as well, and today I do. I am
truly blessed to be able to work with some of the best people in the world.
I'm working with people today, that I never ever dreamed I would be working
with. It's been fun, and we're building our dreams together.
What about you? Where do YOU want to be TOMORROW? Always
remember, the journey starts with the FIRST step. You must be willing
to step up to the plate, buckle down and start working on making those
dreams happen.
IF you can dream it you can DO IT. It's up to you. The world can be
yours, but it starts with taking action. Put feet to the dreams and make
them happen and you will be glad you did.
Where were you 10 years ago? Are you any better off today? Where will
you be in another 10 years if you keep doing the same thing you're doing
today? ASK YOURSELF. This is between YOU & YOU alone.
WHAT DO YOU WANT? Write it down and then go get it. NOTHING can
stop you except yourself.
Go to work, make those dreams happen and maybe one day we will meet
in Maui.
Regards
Diane

Where were you 10 years ago? Are you any better off today? Where will
you be in another 10 years if you keep doing the same thing you're doing
today? ASK YOURSELF. This is between YOU & YOU alone.
WHAT DO YOU WANT? Write it down and then go get it. NOTHING can
stop you except yourself.
Go to work, make those dreams happen and maybe one day we will meet
in Maui.
Regards
Diane

Do You Want To Be A Success?
You want to be a success? SIMPLE.
Pattern yourself after success. Learn who
is really successful and who is just talking.
Learn to recognize the diamond in the rough.
Unfortunately in our industry, you will find many
blowing smoke, talking big, and flashing checks.
When I meet someone like that I RUN.
I've found that those that talk the least, usually
do the most. People that spout off with how
"BIG" they are and "GREAT" they are, usually
are big ok, they are big windbags.
FAKE IT
Ever hear someone say fake it till you make it? I
say BULL. I can spot a fake a mile off. People that
talk about how much they are making and flash
checks rarely tell you the other side of the coin.
I get so sick of people telling others to USE the
checks of their "UPLINES" to entice people in the
business. Ever have someone call you and spout
off how many tens of thousands their "sponsor" or
"sponsors sponsor" took to the bank last week?
WONDERFUL I could care less. I could care
less how much THEY took to the bank unless
they want to put it in MY bank account.
What I want to know when I evaluate a business is:
1. Do I have a product, people would use if this
was NOT a business opportunity
2. Would I buy the product if I was NOT going
to do the business and is it a fair price?
3. Can I make money selling this product even
if I never sponsored a soul?
4. How many hoops would I have to jump thru
to make a 5 or 6 figure monthly check and is
that realistic?
NOW OUTSIDE OF THAT, I do NOT care who's
upline made what or how many fake checks they
flash. Usually those flashing the checks are in
a borrowed or leased car, just barely making the
payments. OR worse yet, I've seen them in a
car that was so run down, barely running yet them
claiming to be making 10,000 a week. Use
common sense folks.
If you want to succeed, look for someone sincere
that is not afraid of work, because it does take
work and lots of it. If you are looking for a business,
and someone shows you a product or a service, that
does NOT mean you own them your life or you HAVE
to join them. Use common sense. Learn more about
THEM, before making a business decision to join
someone. I learned that the hard way.
All too often in this industry the person that shows you
some hot product, is on to the next hot product before
the ink is dry on your sign up. That is sad by true.
WHY do you think that is?
SIMPLE...they are looking to get rich OVER NIGHT,
without having to take the time and effort to learn how
to work and grow a business. Unfortunately their ship
will never come in because growing a business takes
much time and effort. You must first work on your own
skills, develop them, learn as you go.
If you want to learn, don't ask your next door neighbor,
or your spouse, mom or dad, unless they are already
highly successful in a business of their own. If they
have an 8-5 job, if they life paycheck to paycheck, or
if they live by watching TV and drinking beer, they are
NOT someone that is going to know what it takes to
build a future. You can love them, You can be their
friend, but for goodness sake, when it comes to
evaluating a business they are NOT the person to be
talking to.
LOOK AROUND. If you see a product or a service
you think fits you and you can build a future with, then
find someone you respect and admire to ask about it.
Look for people walking the walk not talking. Look
for someone that is real not someone that tells you
that you will be rich tomorrow because you won't.
Find the product and find the right person you want to
work with and then take ACTION. Go to work. Plan
to invest 3-5 years, in developing, learning skills and
growing a business.
Don't quit at every bump in the road as there will be
many. When you go on a road trip and run into a
detour, you don't turn around and go home. Expect
challenges as there will be plenty of them. Learn
to LOVE change and challenges, because they
help you grow personally and personal growth
and development is cornerstone to your success.
I was on a call this week lead by one of my mentors
and he said something that really hit home with me.
He said everyone will have challenges, it's how you
deal with them that makes the difference.
Sometimes when things go wrong, you are RIGHT
yet, you have to learn sometimes, to give in and work
with people. You can ALWAYS be right or you can
be rich. Right or rich, which would you pick?
CHOOSE and then take responsibility for yourself.
Sadly in my career in this industry, I've never had anyone
I could really depend on, so I had to learn on my own for
most of the time, and I made MANY mistakes. Today I
can say I am thankful for those hard times and I learned
MUCH more from the mistakes than from anything else.
When you have children, you can tell them that something
is HOT till you are blue in the face. They may listen, they
may not. BUT.... once they do NOT listen, touch something
that is HOT that you warned them about and get burned, they
remember and they don't too often do it again.
My son was great about listening and not touching things. My
daughter was stubborn and if you said not to do something, that
made her more determined to do it. She didn't listen once and
got burned on a hot grill, and she NEVER did that again. Not
only did she NOT do that again, but is she was around when
the grill was on, she was only 2 or 3, but she WARNED others
when they came close, she would say "HOT HOT HOT", and
not go near it.
So learn from your mistakes. Did you get burned once in a
bad company? Did you have a bad upline? What happened?
LEARN FROM IT. Learn what not to do next time and keep on
going.
You get rich by going to work, taking the time to learn and patterning
yourself after those you admire and see that are doing what it takes
to get there. You do well, buy facing reality, and reality is that it
IS possible, if you are willing to pay the price. The price is taking
CONSISTENT action. Reality is working your business every day
and giving yourself time to develop the skills needed to succeed.
I am NOT the same person today that I was 10 years ago. Those
that know me today, would NOT recognize me from the person I
was. Ten years ago, I was scared to death to open my mouth.
Ten years ago I was shy, and very timid. If you had told me I
MIGHT ever be invited to be a guest on a phone conference, or
I might call a stranger on the phone, I'd have thought you lost your
marbles.
I had NEVER been anyplace but to visit relatives. I had NEVER seen
any states outside the east coast. I had NEVER flown any place or
gone any place alone.
Today I've become a seasoned traveler, and I LOVE traveling. I've
taking many cruises, and I've visited most every state. I'm missing
a few in the New England area, and also Oregon and New Mexico.
I'll see them someday, when I feel like it...but I've been all over the
country, and also to Mexico, Ireland, Aruba and Canada.
All those places I've been have been thanks to Network Marketing.
I'm having a ball, I'm enjoying meeting new people and I live a different
life today.
I'm NOT independently wealthy, I'm NOT a millionaire, I'm an average
person. I do live on my income from Network Marketing and my
total income is about 3-4 times more than when I used to have a
60 hour job where I reported for duty 10 or 11 hours a day sometimes.
Back then I made decent with overtime, but had no time to spend it.
The biggest difference is I do NOT owe my time to anyone. I do NOT
get up to an alarm clock. I am NOT told I HAVE to work Saturday at
4 PM on Friday night as I used to be. I do NOT have to ask for a day
off. I do not have to save up vacation time to do something.
I Do drive the car I want not the car can afford. I read about high gas
prices, which are a pain but really I don't drive enough to be effected
as the poor person that has no choice.
I work from home, using the Internet and the telephone. I just recently
joined my local chamber to react businesses in my community and
have found such GREAT reception that I wonder why I didn't do that
sooner. I guess the only answer to that is until now, I didn't have
a unique enough product to reach out to my community, but now I
do. I want to get out there and share before someone else does.
BOTTOM LINE. I have learned from my mistakes and learned I had
a choice to chose, of fail. When times got tough, I had a chose to
win or lose, quit or carry on. I had to start over a number of times
as I made poor choices of companies, or people, but I NEVER quit.
I never gave up and I kept learning from mistakes and moving on
and today I'm GLAD I Did.
I write this newsletter in hopes that I will be able to help just ONE
person, get over their fears and be a success. I want to give back
to our industry and make a difference. I want to tell the truth and
take a stand for us all and make a difference.
SO...as you're out their building your dreams, PLEASE tell the
truth, don't hype, don't flash checks of your leaders, just learn
to be yourself, be honest and develop your own story.
Before the riches, comes much change, personal growth and development.
IF you realize that, and you stick it out, you're well on your way. Hope to
meet you one day as we cruise the beaches of the world together.

Weather is off and on
It was clear here for a while so we ran out to get something to eat and look around. Looks like normal rainy weather with light winds that's about all.
I guess we picked a good time. We just got back in time and the skies opened up but it's stopped, it's the bands are coming and going.
I guess a rainy Saturday is good. Karen shared a NEAT blog with me she's making. http://easytostayclose.blogspot.com/
She did a good job about showing how fun and easy it is to send cards from home and that was a cute photo she put up. GOOD JOB Karen.

Dennis Is moving thru
Well here we are, Dennis is going to MISS us. He is way out in the gulf (THANK GOODNESS)
Unfortunately the tail end of him is starting to move in now with heavy rainds and wind gusts. He is a big storm.
We're starting to see some wind gusts, and rain. I'm thankful for my power and the fact I can stay inside and watch. I plan to get on the training call for my greeting card business in 20 minutes, so I will listen to the all, and watch th rains that are jus starting to come in now.
I feel sorry for our neighbors to the north in Pensacola, they have not recovered from Ivan and here comes Dennis.
Anyway, that's my updates from Tampa Bay. Just winds and rain.

Hurricane Dennis
It's hard to believe a year has passed and we're in the same situation AGAIN. I'm feeling sorry for Pensacola as it looks like Dennis has his eye on them AGAIN. Ivan did them in pretty bad, but who would think another storm would come the next year aiming the same way.
I've had lots of friends online asking about the storms. If you're not from Florida, it's hard to imagine, but we're kind of taking a laid back wait and see on this one. Right now it's looking like the Panhandle, but who knows, these things really have a mind of their own.
Today was a beautiful warm (acutally HOT HOT HOT ) sunny day, until about 5 pm.
Hubby came home and decided it MIGHT be a good idea to go out and get some gas for his new generator. I'm still shaking my head on the need for this generator, guess it's a new Florida tool. We've lived in the state all our lives, and never owned a generator. We had one bad year with storms and now we need one..... LOL
Anyway so now we have a beautiful new $1600 Generator, that I for one hope we never need or use.
I really think he only wanted it because last year I bought 3 or 4 dozen cases of water, and thru it into the deep freeze so for the whole hurricane season, everytime hubby wanted something out of the Freezer he would cuss at me. Heck I was only being logical, I drink lots of diet coke with ice and I hate WARM water to drink so figured if I froze it all, we'd not run out.
It turned out for one storm I kept power but our neighbors didn't so I ended up sharing frozen water with them and they were thankful.
With the generator, hubby tells me he can run the freezer and refrigerator, so I don't need to freeze my water. I'm still wondering though it the electric goes OFF..... will the ICEMAKER pump the water into it to get ice?
IF anyone knows that one tell me.. I can't imagine not having my ice maker. Boy are we spoiled or what, Give me ICE and Air conditioning and my internet connection and the wind and rain can blow all it wants, I'll be happy.
ANYWAY about 5 pm, we went out to get something to eat and go get hubby's gas, and of course that's when the wind and rain decided to start up so we got DRENCHED coming back home. But we got his gas, so we're all ready and good to go.
So..To all you in the north, It's Friday midnight and we're fine in central Florida.
Looks like Dennis is down blowing around in Cuba and the Keys. As long as you see me online, you know I HAVE POWER ...and POWER IS EVERYTHING when you're in FLORIDA IN JULY.
GO AWAY DENNIS...

Here We Go Again
It's that season again, already we're working on the 3rd tropical storm of the season.
Scary stuff going on in Florida this year. My neighbor had some violent nightmares about some really bad storms coming this year, and the state of Florida exploding. They were so vivid that she sold her home and is getting out of the state and moving to Tennessee.
I was outside tonight and they were loading up the cards, and packing and were ina hurry to leave fast before the next storms come. I came in and told hubby, I kind of felt like I was living in the days of Noah's Ark. I certainly hope she is way wrong, just in case she wasn't I thougth I'd add the prediction to this blog before the season starts in full swing.
Let's all hope she's wrong.

Hurrican season AGAIN
Geez, can't believe it's almost a year since I started a blog..I'm not very good at keeping it up, I just get much too busy for this.
Here we are in hurricane season again, only this time well prepared. Hubby got us a generator, and we even have fashlights that do nto take batteries. All these years in Florida and I have not had need for any of these, one bad season and hubby thinks we need things we probably won't use.
Oh well, we're all prepared unless we blow away.

Life Is Passing US By
WHEW, Ever heard how time flies..... I think it's going lighning speed. I keep meaning to get over here and keep up this blog, yet, time goes by faster than the speed of light and I never seem to be good at this like some that do it every day.
I'm building a new business these days in the greeting card line and it's been so busy. It's fun, yet, hard to break away and do things like blogs and other things. I tend to get very focused when I'm starting up and building a new line. Greeting cards are such fun. You can show people you care about them, you can make them feel good about themselves. When you do that, it comes back to you 10 fold, so I spend my day, letting people try out the service and see for themsleves what it can do for their lives.
Thinking about it, in the long run it saves me lots of time. Prior to this I used to run to the store, to get someone a card, (If I remembered). Then I would maybe make it home without losing it, and set it down till I had time to find the address, most of the time it never got sent out. I have a pile of unsent cards here. I meant well but just never finished the thought.
Now I can, and I'm having fun with it. Time is still passing by but I'm accomplishing much more. IF you know anyone that wants to send a free card, and try out the service, send them over to http://mailoutcards.com and I will let them send one free.
Meantime.. Life goes on and on and on.....but that's a good thing. Back work I go. Thanks for dropping by.

Getting What You Want
With hurricane's gone for a while, I have been busy growing my business. Originally I started this blog to learn how to blog and to share and help others avoid mistakes I've made so I'm going to attempt to get back to doing that as time permits.
Do you know what you want?
REALLY TRULY do you?
What is it?
Knowing exactly what you want and being able to share thatand tell someone is the first step to getting it. If you don't know what you want, how would you know if you get it?
Think about that
.Once you know what you want, then it's time to work on getting it.Action is key to that. First thing is going to work to make thingshappen, and finding a business or opportunity you can work toget what you want out of life.
Once you find that, then it is a matter of staying around long enoughto achieve your dreams, and making them all come true.Too often people figure out what they want, then they find a companyor vehicle they think will get them there, they jump in and go to workfor a few weeks, or a few months.
It's very easy to do somethingfor a month or 2, but when 4 or 5 months go by, and people findthey are NOT rich, their interest starts to fall off.
People expect INSTANT gratification, and it does not work that way.It's really a shame, as I've seen some really great people give up way too soon, only right before they would have reaped the benefitsof their work.
In the beginning you do work hard to get things kicked off and running but as you get that rolling, later on, you don't have to work near as hard, and things fall into place.
I started in this industry OVER 10 years ago, and the first 5 yearswere a real learning experience in what NOT to do. I made all theclassic mistakes and even some that they never thought of. It was horrible, and costly.Through it all, I had to start over many times, but never ONCE didI ever think of quitting, simply because I knew If I gave up and quit then the crooks of our world would win. I knew I would find an honest company, run by honest people and find a team of spectacular people to work with and I'm happy to say I have andI'm truly blessed.
So whatever it is you truly want, GO FOR IT.
Never let anyone or anything stop you from becoming the best that you can be.
Never let anyone steal your dreams.Know what you want and go get it.
Just plan to work your way there.I know if I can do it, ANYONE CAN.
Go to work and I'll see you at the TOP!

Life in the fast lane
After the hurricanes, life goes on. I sort of got away from recapping things and got busy with life. I spent a few weeks in Minnesota for the holidays, came home for a few days and then flew to Utah, to visit the card company I just added to my business.

Life has been busy since I found this little card company because it just makes so much sense, it's been growing like crazy. The cards are prices 50-60% less than someone can buy them in the store In addition to that, it's convenient. People don't have to run to the store, go buy postage, or run around.
So it's really a NO Brainer, and I've been having fun showing it to people and they love it and they tell others and it's been wild. I've been giving free demos at http://mailoutcards.com
So I'm back to working like crazy, but it's fun.
