Seeing the BIG picture with what you do and with whom you work will be a massive part of your success.
If you are only in a business or are a part of a team and are just acting for your benefit you are surely to meet with defeat.
“If you think you are the entire picture, you will never see the big picture” states John C Maxwell
What you need to do is get back to the BIG picture of the cause and/or mission. By putting the BIG picture before you and your success you will have that success come back around to you naturally.
My own personal story goes like this, I am working with a company that promotes LIFE, HEALTH, and PROSPERITY for all and that is our mission. If I were to focus solely on my own LIFE, HEALTH, and PROSPERITY I would not reach any level of success and if I did it certainly would not last long. Instead what I do is strictly focus on helping everyone I come in contact with experience benefits and value towards their own LIFE, HEALTH, and PROSPERITY. I focus on helping others first for the grander vision and by me doing so my own life has dramatically been impacted forever.
NBA star Magic Johnson said it best “Everyone on a Championship team doesn’t get publicity but everyone gets to say he is a champion”
“If a team is to reach its potential, each player must be willing to subordinate his personal goals to the good of the team.” Said Bud Wilkinson
When you decided to put the BIG picture before you and look up at it and push everything you have towards the BIG picture you WILL reach massive success. You will help the planet and human race improve and you will be rewarded handsomely for your efforts.
So go, go look at the BIG picture and keep it at the forefront of your life and the riches that come with serving others first will flood into your life so fast you won’t even know what to do with it.
Get on track with the BIG picture and get ready for the ride of a lifetime!!!

The image you hold of yourself otherwise known as your self-image is the view you hold in your head about who you are. As hard as you work to do and be more you will not and cannot ever outperform it. Your self-image is the limiting factor in your success.
Your self-image is like the governor on a car, your car will hit a top speed which is set by the governor, there is more power and more capability in your engine but since it is governed by a computer it will never reach its full potential no matter how hard you press on the gas.
Same is true with your life and your potential. If you have a low self-image no matter how hard you try to get a head you will always be limited by that image you hold of yourself. In order for you to grow and become more successful you must work on your self-image.
You improve your self-image by reading, listening to audios, hanging around with successful people, attending seminars, exercising, eating well, controlling your thoughts and being a more positive person.
Once you’ve successfully improved your self-image you will be able to reach new levels of success in every area of your life. You’ll be in a position to decide just how high you want to climb the ladder of success.
Make sure you chose to be constantly improving your self-image so that change flows freely into your life and opportunity begins to be attracted to you and you’ll be able to seize it and run with it!
Decide today that you are worth it, invest in you and work on your self-image and you’ll be thrilled that you did.
Abundance is there for everyone but only the ones with the high self-image will ever will be able to capitalize on it and reap the abundance of the universe.
The 80/20 rule is one you must know and apply to your life and especially to your business if you want to be successful. If you resist the rule or don’t play by the rule you’ll be in for a lot of extra struggles and frustrations.
The 80/20 Rule means that in anything a few (20%) are vital and many (80%) are trivial. For example, it means 20% of the people own 80% of the wealth, 20% of the defects cause 80% of the problems. Managers know that 20% of the work (the first 10% and the last 10%) consume 80% of your time and resources. You can apply the 80/20 Rule to almost anything and everything, from the science of management to the physical world.
You know 80% of your production comes from 20% of your sales team. You know the other 80% of your sales team will be the ones who want 80% of your time but the reality is you need to give your 80% producers (the 20% of your sales team that produces 80% of your sales) 80% of your time and the 20% producers only 20% of your time.
A great strategy for ensuring you’re able to effectively work with all of the people on your team is to give the top 20% of your team 1 on 1 time and your other 80% of your team group time so that you’re still able to effectively work with them.
Understanding this fact is critical to success with your business. Some people may think well why don’t I just cut the 80% of the team who only produce 20% of the results from the team…well if you did that what would happen is you’d create a new 80/20 scenario within your team again. You cannot get away from the rule…it is like the seasons (as Jim Rohn says) you just know that Summer comes after Spring, you can’t just change the seasons, you just need to learn how to work with them.
I hope this gives you a little clarification and allows you to effectively work with your time and team to make sure you have the most success possible.
Here is how dictionary.com defines the word.
–noun
1. the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc., without fear; bravery.
2. Obsolete . the heart as the source of emotion.
—Idiom
3. have the courage of one’s convictions, to act in accordance with one’s beliefs, esp. in spite of criticism.
Do you have courage? Do you have the quality of mind or spirit to face difficulty, danger, pain with out fear?
Do you have the courage of your convictions, that you will act in accordance with your beliefs, esp. in spite of criticism?
Do you have the courage needed to go against what the people closest to you will say about your goals and dreams?
Do you have the balls (courage) to face your fears and take action on your life to make sure it happens? Will you face negativity? Will you persist and get up after being kicked for the 10th time?
With courage and bravery in your corner you’ll make the choices to lead you down the path to success.
You’ll refuse to listen to the noise coming from the negatrons, the dream stealers and people who don’t want you to have success because they can’t see themselves being successful and would hate to have someone they know be able to do something they can’t! You had better believe those people are everywhere so you’d better have courage!
Every person who has ever accomplished their big goals and dreams has experienced negativity, criticism, bad talk, hard ships, trials and tribulations, challenges, roadblocks and obstacles but unlike the majority of people they had the courage to go on no matter what, get up again and push through despite the odds…do you have the courage to do it?
In life, when you want to be the best you must make choices every day that lead you to take action on everything necessary to accomplish your goals and dreams. The same is true for business. By no means is being a successful business owner easy, for that matter, nothing is easy that is worth while accomplishing.
If you strive to be a business champion, you must be so dedicated and willing to go that extra mile, work when others sleep, be up before others rise, spend one more hour on the phone, make one more call, read one more book, talk to one more person, promote yourself at one more event, build one more solid relationship, hear one more no and then hear another, push through one more tough month, get back up over and over and over again, refuse to listen and be set back against all the negativity and be so determined that no matter what… absolutely nothing will stop you!
That is what will set you apart and turn you into a business champion.
Set your goals high, aim for the stars, create a big reason why and be a business champion.
Be a business champion because you know you have always been destined for greatness. Be a business champion because you know that you aren’t happy with your current state or lifestyle. Be a business champion because you know there is more to life then a dead end job. Be a business champion because you know life is meant to be lived and not controled. Be a business champion because you want to make billions! Be a business champion because you know that you are on this planet to add value to others lives and to make the world a better place.
When you make the choice, when you make that decision and you commit 110% to realizing your dreams and taking the daily actions on them you will be headed down a path that few ever travel. There is a lot less competition on this path and it will lead you to the place where the champions reside. They are out there and it is totally possible for you to get there. You just need to decide and be a Business Champion!
To build a successful network marketing business from home you must have a simple, duplicate-able system that your average person can tap into and follow that will ensure they are successful.
This system must include 3 steps to expose your prospects to your products and opportunity. It must help you sift and sort people, all the while, allowing your business partners to say as little as possible.
The tools that you use must do most, if not all, of the the talking for you.
The 3 steps required in the system must be;
1. a sizzle call (a 3-4 minute phone call that you can 3-way your prospects into to give them a brief overview of the products and opportunity)
2. a website that contains a few videos that further explain the products and opportunity. These videos need to be short and to the point yet exciting enough that a person will want to know more.
3. a face to face meeting where prospects can come and try the products, meet the people and see the rest of the opportunity through watching a DVD which gives them the final overview they need to take action.
As your prospects are moved through your company’s system they must be pre-qualified or eliminated, that way, once you finally do meet with them in a face to face home party you know that this prospect has been exposed to the generic information that each and every other prospect in the room has. When this occurs you can be certain that this prospect has come to the home party fully understanding why they are in the room and are wanting to be there.
You need 3 exposures because that is the average number it takes a hot or warm prospect to make a buying decision. When you are speaking to a cold prospect is will take an average of 7 exposures for them to know, like and trust you and make that all important buying decision.
Your goal, as a business builder, in network marketing needs to be to put as many people in the top of the funnel and through step 1 as possible and then keep moving the prospects through the system until action takers pop out the bottom, fully informed and ready to either build the business with you or buy your products. By doing this you have already began to train your new partners as to the methods they will use to grow their businesses. They were shown the system and they will use that same system, after all they know it works…it got them started
If the company you have chosen to work with does not have a system that sounds something like this you need to re-evaluate your chosen company because it will drastically decrease your chance of success and more importantly it will decrease the chance that your prospects will have success.
You know that in network marketing, you can only have success if the people you personally enroll can be successful and the people they enroll can also be successful, other wise you have just bought yourself a glorified job that is fully dependent on you.
Once you have reviewed your company’s system and if you find that you are missing that all important system then contact me, I can give you some guidance and suggestions on finding a company that does have one that you can get started with immediately.
Although being a successful person depends largely on your ability to control your own mind, make wise choices, take action and surround yourself with successful people, your answer to true happiness and success comes from being a people person.
A people person is someone whose focus is on elevating the lives of other people. You spend time helping them to reach their true potential while giving coaching, guidance and support so they can be their very best.
Once you decide that other people matter first, your life will shift into a space to true happiness. Be a person focused on others and serving others to bring out the very best in them which in turn brings out the very best in you.
A people person uses his strengths to help others feel great about them; they are other-centered. A self centered person uses their strengths to dominate others.
A people person will get out of their comfort zone to allow others to be comfortable. A self centered person will do things to make sure they are always comfortable.
A people person will sacrifice whatever it takes to allow others to succeed and grow to new levels. A self centered person will never sacrifice for the sake of others.
A people person will lead other people to opportunity and once there give them the information and guidance to help them make the best decisions for their own success. A self centered person will hoard information and opportunity for fear that there isn’t enough for everyone and for fear that others will be more successful then them.
A people person will always make it priority to include everyone in a group to make sure all people are heard from and that each and every person knows that they are valuable. Not an easy task to accomplish but a great people person is able to do this, it is like magic. A self centered person could care less about the other people present in a group, to them they are the most important person in the group and usually only enjoy hearing their own voice.
A people person will use humour to lighten the mood and instantly make people feel better about being in the room, in other words, they use humour to make others feel comfortable. A self centered person just isn’t funny
Here are some simple yet effective tips that a person can follow to become more of a people person immediately. Here is a list;
- Smile
- Use/ remember people’s names
- Listen
- Make eye contact when listening and talking, not the creepy kind but just enough so people know you’re paying attention to them
- Show you have an open mind and be free of judgment
- Ask great questions and dig deeper to help understand the why’s behind their answers
- Talk about others own interests and passions
- Use good humor when possible to break down barriers and help others instantly feel more comfortable
- Repeat the answers back to the person after they answer a question for you
- nod and use positive body language while interacting with others
- Think with a positive mind and expectations, believe others want to be good and are always doing their best with the circumstances in their world at the present moment
Those are just a few of the most important skills and actions you can use to help you be more effective at being a people person. Remember help more people accomplish and get what they want and you’ll have everything you’ve ever dreamed. Be a person of service, give freely of yourself to the betterment of the human race. You’ll be very happy you did.
Have a billionaire day!
