My parents brought us to America many moons ago,
I am an immigrant, and I hope that gives some credence to my theory that immigrants can teach us something about focus and being successful in business.
I wrote a little e-book that I will tell you about some other time, and I devoted an entire chapter to why first and second generation immigrants tend to be such go-getters (and conversely why it took me so long to embrace this).  Without further ado, here are some tips on how you too can be …

For the “5,10,15,20…25, 30 years of love” that I have had and will have with, my best friend of 18 and husband of 10 years, the one and only Woodchuck.
That my two oldest boys are well adjusted and as successful as they want to be even though I had them young and was still growing up when I should have been parenting. God really does take care of the babies.
That my baby (who is 15) did not turn out to be a brat, even though I have spoiled him since …

All across America (and probably the rest of the world too) network marketers are wondering where they can find the best leads. Should they purchase leads and if they do, where can they find leads that don’t suck?
Well, let me begin by saying that there are no bad leads, there are just people who aren’t ready for what you have to offer. If I purchase ten leads from generic marketing company.com I am sure that if I give them to a top recruiter on my team they will sign 5 …

My husband and I had an argument the other day because someone on one of the forums he frequents said that we are not in a recession, we just think we are. I agreed with Mr Anonymous, hence the argument. So to clarify for my husband and anyone else who cares to listen in, here are my thoughts on the subject.
” If you think you can, or think you can’t, you’re right.”- Henry Ford
This one sentence describes exactly what is happening to this economy right now. The television tells …

I don’t want this blog to become a huge advertisement for my business, but…recognizing that at least one-third of the American population is uninsured and a percentage of the rest are underinsured well I think you ought to know…

I was speaking with a prospect the other night, great conversation, cool dude. We finally got around to talking about why I had called (hey, I work from home so I get in some human contact when/where I can) and he said “Oh, I think I tried that already, I got my kit and looked inside and just decided that I didn’t want to do it”.
Note bien kiddos: “There is no try, there is only do..or do not” this from the first dog whisperer, Yoda. Either do the …

I’ve been spending way too much time in the blogosphere and on the internet in general. In my travels I’ve read a lot of political stuff that was linked to by folks who were scared by the ideas put forth in these articles. I thought I knew what some of the scary words  meant, but , just to double check myself, I thought I’d whip out my Lincoln Writing Dictionary for Children (copyright 1988) and look up some stuff:
Conservative- 1. wanting to keep things as they have been; against change. …

Whether you are already in a home-based business/network marketing opportunity or just looking to get started, here are a few things you need to know that may clear up any misconceptions that you have.

In my last post I discussed how to stop worrying. But there is more to say on the subject.
If you want to chase your stress and worries away you must learn to be flexible. All of our lives we’ve heard “Stand up and take it like a man” or “You’ve got to face your adversity”. On the contrary, I say that when life throws a punch at you - duck. Don’t agree?
Well let’s consider a tale of two trees the palm and the oak. Both trees are standing …

“If you ask what is the single most important key to longevity, I would have to say it is avoiding worry, stress and tension. And if you didn’t ask me, I’d still have to say it.” -George Burns (Comedian)
With a recession upon us, uncertainty about the safety of our jobs, the possibility of higher taxes on our businesses, we have reason to worry. But
stress leads to heart disease, cancer, stomach problems and eventually death. What we think affects how we feel and eventually it affects whether we are here – …
