Feel good

You need to know what you want to stand up for. If you don’t, you set yourself to always fall.

“When your values are clear to you, making decisions becomes easier.”

- Roy E. Disney

Your values has to find their source within you. It has to feel good for you.

Don’t worry, people that are agreeing with you will gather around you.

Faith into action

“Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.”

- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Have faith in yourself.

Nothing great is ever achieve without faith.

“Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe.”

- Voltaire

Your world is built with actions. Do your best and have faith. Good things will come out of it.

Happy

“When someone does something good, applaud! You will make two people happy.”

- Samuel Goldwyn

You need to see it done before you can do the same at first.

Once you started to do great things, you start to believe in yourself and you can go for things that no one has done before.

Keep applauding the success of others. That positive energy will drive you to do great things.

Rules...

If you want to get great result, you need to learn the basics first.

“You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.”

- Albert Einstein

You can get good result without taking the time to learn how to do it. But to get the best results, you need to know how things works.

You need to take action.

Action is way better than none.

But knowing the basics rules will always help you to get better results. So, you need to learn as you take action.

We’re all different. So we all have different challenge to overcome.

Don’t wait to know before you take action. It’s way better to act and learn from your mistake.

Choose what you get!

Nothing good will ever come out of negative thoughts.

“Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results.”

 - Willie Nelson

If you think that your negative thoughts aren’t making your life as it is, then you should take a step back. Look at where you are and see what you have. This is all coming to you from how you think and act in reality.

“If you have a positive attitude and constantly strive to give your best effort, eventually you will overcome your immediate problems and find you are ready for greater challenges.”

 - Pat Riley

Be consistent in your effort. Stay positive in all moment, difficult and easy. You’ll get result greater then what you asked.

Negative people will attract more reason to be negative. Is this what you want?

“You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind.”

 - Joyce Meyer

Your results

We like to be a part of something bigger.

We like to be among greatness. Sharing the glory that comes from a common effort.

But in the end, you have to look at your effort and your result. 

What really manner is what you did according on what you can. 

No group success is good enough to replace your own success.

Being among a group doesn’t change your result.

Be proud of your result first.

The Key!

Your happiness depends on you.

« The keys to a fulfilled, joyous life are all in your head because they’re attitudes, not actions. »

- Mark Levine

We all have the power to be happy. But this means that it’s all about us. Nothing outside of us can make us happy.

Many of us replace happiness with pleasure. Pleasure is an illusion that last for only a moment.

Pleasure is good, enjoy it and get as much as you can. But you need to realize that it’s not happiness. It’s pleasure.

Happiness is within you. You are the only one who can find it.

What you Perceive...

What you perceive and what I perceive can be different in so many ways. It’s not a question of the truth, but a question of perception.

The truth is different for each of us.

“There are no facts, only interpretations.”

 - Friedrich Nietzsche

Perception stimuli are not kept pure. Our own knowledge will influence what we perceive and how we understand it. Our mind is also a powerful filter. According to our choices, our mind will filter the information in relation with what we choose.

You can change the filter if you want to.

“We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect. The judgment of the intellect is only part of the truth.”

 - Carl Jung

Don’t pretend to know the truth. You only know the truth resulted from your filter. So, don’t try to tell others what is the truth, you only have your truth.

Science found out that there’s occurrence that will give different result if you look at them or not. Only the fact that there’s an observer will change the result.

It’s always better to listen to what others have to say before you try to convince them that they are wrong. In the end, you could end up with a different vision as good as yours.

W

Look for it!

Don’t wait for the right moment to do something. You’ll end up doing nothing.

Result will come to you that you take action or not. But if you take action, you’ll have at least some influence on the result. Your action will not always bring what you want, but it will bring some of it.

Every fail has some part of success in it. You just have to look for it.

Being positive is not being dreaming, it’s choosing to look for the good in everything.

Look for the good and you’ll find it. 

Just Leap!

When you fear to do it, you get out of your comfort zone.

When you fail, learn from it and keep going forward.

As you go along, don’t stop to listen to those who are not walking in the same direction. They will only slow you down so you’ll stay at their level.

The road to success is a road you have to be ready to take alone. Along the way, you may find people to walk with you. But don’t expect anyone to go all the way with you.

Leap, even if you don’t know where it will take you. Have faith that you will reach something good.

Build a positive business

Take positive action.

They’ll have an impact on your life.

You first need to know yourself. Then you need to change what is negative to something positive.

Actions will make you feel good and it will help you creating a momentum in your life toward good things.

Good actions brings good reaction. If you keep on doing it, they’ll keep coming.

“Your positive action combined with positive thinking results in success.”

- Shiv Khera

When you do good actions, you bring others into realising that it can be done. And some of them will follow your example. Doing good bring good. Keep working on it every day. Do your best to do one good action every day.

Most over estimate what we can do in a day and under estimate what we can do in a year.

Patience to success

“Patience is not simply the ability to wait - it's how we behave while we're waiting.”

 - Joyce Meyer

Be patient, but don’t stay there waiting. Create your life, work everyday and be patient. It will become what you are working for.

“Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.”

 - Napoleon Hill

Success always comes to those who keep on doing what needs to be done. Persistence is the most powerful tool you can ever have.

If you keep on doing your best, you’ll end up becoming one of the best. Time always work the best for the hard worker. Giving up never provide anything great.

Patient people usually get what they want for good or bad.

“Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance.”

 - Samuel Johnson

Being patient while doing nothing will bring what you work for and it’s nothing. You’re not getting anything done doing nothing.

Being patient in getting what you are working for is the way to success. Keep on working and not getting is the way to build patience.

Prepare for success

How much prepare do we have to be if we want to reach success?

That’s a very good question. If we want success, we need to prepare. 

But if we prepare too much, we could end up doing nothing and fail. 

So, do prepare, but never do it to the point of never doing anything. 

It’s better to do something, even the wrong one then doing nothing and fail anyway.

“Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure.”

 - Confucius

One good tip about this, you prepare until you can see the result in your head. When you can see the result, you act upon it.

No preparation will make a sure success. You can still fail even if you prepare.

Kindness is good

Never underestimate the power of doing something good. Being kind should never be seen as a negative way of being. Be kind all the time.

“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”

 - Aesop

Yes, if you’re doing something kind without any hope of getting something back in return, then you’re truly a kind person.

Even kindness done to make a show is still a good thing.

This is a story I found online. I just love this one. Simple and so powerful.

Today You, Tomorrow Me

--by Justin Horner, posted Mar 10, 2011

During this past year I’ve had three instances of car trouble: a blowout on a freeway, a bunch of blown fuses and an out-of-gas situation. They all happened while I was driving other people’s cars, which for some reason makes it worse on an emotional level. And on a practical level as well, what with the fact that I carry things like a jack and extra fuses in my own car, and know enough not to park on a steep incline with less than a gallon of fuel.

Each time, when these things happened, I was disgusted with the way people didn’t bother to help. I was stuck on the side of the freeway hoping my friend’s roadside service would show, just watching tow trucks cruise past me. The people at the gas stations where I asked for a gas can told me that they couldn’t lend them out "for safety reasons," but that I could buy a really crappy one-gallon can, with no cap, for $15. It was enough to make me say stuff like "this country is going to hell in a handbasket," which I actually said.

But you know who came to my rescue all three times? Immigrants. Mexican immigrants. None of them spoke any English.

One of those guys stopped to help me with the blowout even though he had his whole family of four in tow. I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my friend's big Jeep. I put signs in the windows, big signs that said, "NEED A JACK," and offered money. Nothing. Right as I was about to give up and start hitching, a van pulled over, and the guy bounded out.

He sized up the situation and called for his daughter, who spoke English. He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep, so we would need to brace it. Then he got a saw from the van and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road. We rolled it over, put his jack on top and we were in business.

I started taking the wheel off, and then, if you can believe it, I broke his tire iron. It was one of those collapsible ones, and I wasn’t careful, and I snapped the head clean off. Damn.

No worries: he ran to the van and handed it to his wife, and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron. She was back in 15 minutes. We finished the job with a little sweat and cussing (the log started to give), and I was a very happy man.

The two of us were filthy and sweaty. His wife produced a large water jug for us to wash our hands in. I tried to put a 20 in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up to the van and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I thanked them up one side and down the other. I asked the little girl where they lived, thinking maybe I’d send them a gift for being so awesome. She said they lived in Mexico. They were in Oregon so Mommy and Daddy could pick cherries for the next few weeks. Then they were going to pick peaches, then go back home.

After I said my goodbyes and started walking back to the Jeep, the girl called out and asked if I’d had lunch. When I told her no, she ran up and handed me a tamale.

This family, undoubtedly poorer than just about everyone else on that stretch of highway, working on a seasonal basis where time is money, took a couple of hours out of their day to help a strange guy on the side of the road while people in tow trucks were just passing him by.

But we weren’t done yet. I thanked them again and walked back to my car and opened the foil on the tamale (I was starving by this point), and what did I find inside? My $20 bill! I whirled around and ran to the van and the guy rolled down his window. He saw the $20 in my hand and just started shaking his head no. All I could think to say was, "Por favor, por favor, por favor," with my hands out. The guy just smiled and, with what looked like great concentration, said in English: "Today you, tomorrow me."

Then he rolled up his window and drove away, with his daughter waving to me from the back. I sat in my car eating the best tamale I’ve ever had, and I just started to cry. It had been a rough year; nothing seemed to break my way. This was so out of left field I just couldn’t handle it.

In the several months since then I’ve changed a couple of tires, given a few rides to gas stations and once drove 50 miles out of my way to get a girl to an airport. I won’t accept money. But every time I’m able to help, I feel as if I’m putting something in the bank.

“Treat those who are good with goodness, and also treat those who are not good with goodness. Thus goodness is attained. Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest. Thus honesty is attained.”

 - Lao Tzu

Be good with everyone and all the time. You’re never too good. Those who can’t accept your good action will remember it the longest. In the end, good always bring back good.

“Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.”

 - Lao Tzu

Only good can come to someone who is kind in everything.

Haters hate the doers.

Doing is always placing ourselves in front of critics. The doers are always the ones we talk about.

Good or bad, as long as you get talk about. Being among the mass is never good for business. You have to stand out to be among the top.

Do you want to be among the top or do you want to stay among the mass?

It's all about what you want. It's that simple.

If you choose to reach for the top, then you must be ready to face the haters. When the haters start to blast about you, this means that you're starting to be among the top. Because, haters are the ones to hate the best among all. They want them to get down to their level and be among the mass. Because they don't want to be the ones to stretch the normality into something harder. The doers are the ones to raise the level of accomplishment, they stretch the reality and make it better (harder). Nothing good is easy. But if you really want to reach for the top, you have to face your fear and overcome the hard moment you have to face. Keep working hard and keep reaching to better yourself. You won't be among the best at first, you'll have to learn and grow before you reach their level. But if you keep it up and work hard, you'll reach the moment when the haters will start to think you're a worthy target.

There's no easy way to make it. Even if you don't want to work, you'll have to do something. Nothing is for free. There's always a price to pay when you want to reach any goal in life. 

 

 

 

 

Achieve!

“Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”

 - W. Clement Stone 

Your mind is the limit to what you can achieve. You keep yourself from reaching your dream.

This could seams simple, but there are so many people that don’t understand it. Or maybe, they just don’t take the time to use it for good.

Laziness seams so much easier. But in reality, it’s the way to depression and boredom. No one living in laziness can be happy.

“Don't limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.”

 - Mary Kay Ash

Set your mind free!

Be free!

Great Sponsor!

What is a great sponsor?

I would say that you can compare this to almost any relationship. It’s a relationship between two people.

The sponsor has his responsibility, but the affiliate also has his responsibility. Let’s look at this for a moment.

1. The sponsor has to be active. This means that he’s actively working to build his business. Inactive sponsor won’t have the experience to help you go over the problem that you will face as an affiliate.

The affiliate has to be active too. Your sponsor will not build your business for you. He can help, but you have to do what needs to be done. An inactive affiliate is a waste of time and energy for a sponsor.

2. The sponsor must be open minded and creative. Open minded people are constantly searching for new way to expand the business. Creative sponsor will build tools to help their affiliate.

The affiliate has to be open minded and creative. Creativity is contagious, the more creative the affiliate will be, the more creative his sponsor will become. He’s becoming a motivation for his sponsor to better himself. Open minded affiliate will try everything before rejecting it.

3. The sponsor has to grow in his personality of sponsor (leader) to become a better one. He has to keep on learning. He has to be willing to take time during his day to learn all he can about becoming a better leader.

The affiliate has to grow also. He has to become a leader himself. He has to be the best leader he can so he’ll find people that will want to be associate with him as their sponsor.

4. The sponsor has to be patient, but not idle. He has to invest his time with the affiliates that are ready to go further. The others that don’t want to move along, he has to respect them. He has to let them know that he’s there for them. The sponsor has to find ways to get those unmoving affiliate to become more active in the business. He’ll need to find what could make them move forward.

The affiliate has to learn to be patient also. He has to be patient with his sponsor and learn to use to the max all the time he has to dedicate to him. He’ll have to be even more patient when he’ll become a sponsor himself.

5. The sponsor has to know his limit. He has to know what he’s willing to do for an affiliate and what he doesn’t. He has to respect his limits and also do his best to expand them. A sponsor should never do everything. He should help, but never do it all.

The affiliate also has to know his limit or at least learn where they are. He also has to be willing to expend them. He should always try to be more and more able with his business. A good affiliate is looking forward to the day when he’ll be a great sponsor.

In conclusion, sponsor and affiliate have their obligation. They both have to do their best and move forward. It’s an association, it’s a partnership, it’s a business relation and it’s a friendship.

Too many leaders are like travel agent, they send people where they never been themselves.

If you want to be a good sponsor, do the work and do it well. Learn how to become a better leader and keep doing it daily. Doing a little everyday is much more important then doing a lot someday. Don't wait until you reach the someday land to do it.
