The Importance of Perseverence (Part 1)
In “The Word for Today” they talk about Perseverence and what it means. This topic touches us every time we come across it and we wanted to share it with all of you.
Perseverence means: (1) Succeeding because you’re determined to, not because you’re entitled to. Achievers don’t sit back and wait for success because they think the world “owes them”. No, if you’re wise you’ll ask God for direction, stand firm on what you have within you, go forward and refuse to quit. You must adopt the attitude of the man who said, “We are determined to win. We’ll fight them until hell freezes over, and if we have to, we’ll fight them on ice.” Be relentless!
(2) Recognizing that life is not one long race, but many short ones in succession. Each task has its own challenges and each day its own events. YOu have to get out of bed the next morning and run again, but it’s never exactly the same race. To be successful you must keep plugging away. It’s said that Columbus faced incredible difficulties while sailing west in search of a passage to Asia. He encountered storms, experienced hunger, deprivation and extreme discouragement. The crews of his three ships were near mutiny. But his account of the journey says the same thing over and over. “Today we sailed on.” And his perseverence paid off. He didn’t discover a fast route to the spice-rich Indies; instead he found a new continent.
So make it your decision this year, this week, today…to stand strong and persevere no matter what obstacles you may face. It is your decision that will enable you to achieve success. No one who is successful doesn’t go thru multiple obstacles before they become “successful”.
Stay tuned for more on this subject. It is our goal to help each and everyone of you to stay motivated and inspired so that you will be able to persevere in this new year.
To your success!

Make 2009 Your Year
On the first of the year something magical happens: a new year is upon us with endless possibilities and a hope for a better future. So what are we to do? Stay at the same place or change everything we do to attain the goals that we have set? That answer to that is only you can change. The world changes all the time. The question is will you? If you are happy with everything you have as of December 31, 2008, you do not need to change. As for us we want more and 09 will be the best Year we will ever have. Not because we say so, but because we will work and plan harder. Why is it that most people will plan more to celebrate New Years Eve than they do to plan their success? We have been writing down Goals since yesterday for the Year 2009. It will be the best year for us and our family. Ask yourself this: when was the last time you wrote down your plans and goals for a project you wanted to accomplish? If you have to think about it for a while, you are not doing it enough.
Success in Life works like a computer whatever you put into it you will get out of it. Put in or type in nothing you get nothing. Why not reach for the stars, why not see how much more you can accomplish if you just plan better?
Here are some definitions:
Procrastinate = to defer action, to delay, until an opportunity is lost.
Worker = a person or thing that works: “says it all”
Crisis = a condition of instability or danger in social economic or international affairs leading to a decisive change, a turning point
Hustler = An enterprising person determined to succeed. Go Getter.
Now that you know the Webster definition of these words let me shed some light on our U.S. situation. We have procrastinated so long, we as Americans have put everything off till tomorrow and it has become our habit, and because we do have that habit, as of January 2ND of 2009 over one million and half workers will be laid off.
A worker according to Webster’s definition is a person or thing that works. Industry has labeled us as things that work. Stop being a thing and start creating something Great. Start building your Dream. It’s a decision that a Crisis of this nature makes us do we do not have a choice. Do not be fooled that a new President,a New Congress or a New House of Representatives will change our situation. It’s up to us, the People, to make a change. We have to make a Decision for Change whether we like it or not. We have to change and stop being a thing that works. The world in 2009 will belong to the Hustler the Go Getter. We will be the ones that reap the rewards of Financial Freedom.
The Worker will be devastated in 2009 for they believe their Company’s will bail them out. I will say it again, 09 will belong to the Hustler, the person that wants it more. You have a Financial Life Saving decision to make during this Crisis: will you Procrastinate or put your Worker Boots on and become The Hustler you can be in 2009? The World is yours for the Taking. This Toast is for you. Go out and Get them. To your record Breaking year in 2009 and next January you can truly celebrate your accomplishments. God Bless you!!!

CHANGE YOUR THINKING - CHANGE YOUR LIFE:
FOLLOWING IS A FEW THOUGHTS THAT MAY HELP.
If you think you can you can; If you think you can't you can't. Either way you're right! Right now you are exactly where you chose to be. Our decisions and past choices have created our present. Our same habits, thinking and actions will continue to produce the same results. Choice is the
beginning of all our journeys. Riches begin with a state of mind. We must become aware of our wealth thinking and wealth actions. The more we think and act like a wealth builder, the more we create wealth building results.

Just Do It Anyway
On this cold and rainy day here in Southern California, we are sitting here going thru some of our favorite old emails and found this quote that someone sent to us.
People are often unreasonable, can be illogical, and even sometimes self-centred; Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of being selfish, with ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and Up-front, people may cheat you; Be honest and Up-front anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you have anyway."
We just love this, because it reflects just how those who "make it" in this world achieve success. Life is hard, building a business is hard and building a dream is hard. But those who "do it anyway" are the ones that win. Those who persevere against all the negatives in this world are the ones that see the fruits of their efforts. Nothing comes easy or free.
It doesn't matter what business you are trying to build. Whether it is a network marketing business or an online business. If you have a dream to make money and quit your job. If you have a dream to have the time to see your kids grow up and to be able to spend time with them each and every day. If you have a dream to have the money to give back to others - to help them in their time of need. If you have a dream to have enough money put away so that you don't have to worry about retirement.
Whatever your dreams are, you can achieve them. There are no limits to the success you can achieve. But you have to be willing to withstand all of the negative that will come at you. You have to be able to turn the other cheek and not let things get you down.
We encourage you today, as we come on this Christmas season and the New Year, to look back and remember the dreams that you once had. Write them down, get out pictures and post them where you can see them every day. Believe in those dreams again. Make this new year the year that you start to work towards those dreams. And make you sure you continue to...
DO IT ANYWAY!

How has the economy affected you?
So many people today are struggling hard. They are being laid off, their 401k's are dwindling, and they are scared about what the future holds.
We have been in and continue to be in the home-based network marketing business and we have seen this business grow tremendously (even outrageously) over the last several years. Recently, this industry has grown so much, it has become unbelievable how many different companies are turning towards this means of operating.
Most companies spend tons of money on advertising. The network marketing companies pay their distributors (or reps) with that advertising money. So generally you won't find them on TV or on the radio (some of the biggest ones such as Avon & Amway are doing some media advertising). At first this industry was questionable. Could someone actually make money doing network marketing? We have found that this question has been answered a hundred times over as more and more people have found success in network marketing and have gone full time in the industry (such as ourselves).
So what is the point? The point is this industry is growing by leaps and bounds especially in this economy - why? Because people are looking for a way to make some extra money. They have lost job, or can't count on their job. They see their retirement and savings dwindling and they need to do something.
But the biggest problem is - what company do they go with? Who do they work with? There are so many different marketers out there that claim success but still have a job themselves - they aren't full time. A new person who wishes to make some extra money needs to make sure they align themselves with someone that has already truly achieved success, is full time and able to work one-on-one with them to help train them.
And it does take training and time! Don't let anyone fool you into thinking that you can make thousands in a short period of time with no work. That is just plain false and misleading.
So we beg of you - partner yourself with someone who has had success and knows what they are doing.
We are always open to helping new people find success in this industry. And we also love working closely with other fellow seasoned networkers.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions at all about how to make some extra money or if you just want to chat.
To your success!
