Quickly write down the names of the ten people you are most involved with in your life.

That may be friends, family, co-workers etc.

Write them down the page in a list.

Now, by each one of them, write down the amount of money they make in a year.

When you have done that, average them all by adding up the total and divide by 10.

Whatever the result is will be a pretty good indicator of the amount of money YOU make in a year.

The reason. You are a product of your environment.

If you want to change the amount of money you make, you need to change the people you associate with.

But, the better news is, you are only a product of your environment because you want to be. You are completely in control of your own thoughts, so you are completely to blame for the situation you are in.

If the people you associate with are getting you down and killing your dreams, you need to seriously evaluate those relationships and see if they are good for you. Do they have your best interests at heart, or are they stuck in a poverty mentality with no ambition to get out to bigger and better things?

In order to change your financial thermostat, you need to associate with people who make the kind of money you want to be making. That might be hard at first, but you need to find yourself a mentor and leader who will be able to coach you and introduce you to a better way and higher mindset.

You are completely in control of your own thoughts, therefore you can completely change the situation you are in right now. No-one is going to do it for you, but if you can find a mentor to teach you the right mindset and marketing plan, your mission can be accomplished with little more than passion and focused action.

If you’re brand new to the online world, here’s how the home
business industry may appear to you: “The few” who have
“figured it out” are feeding off “the many” – those who are still
chasing their dreams.

You have “the few” selling the dream to the clueless herd year
in and year out, GOING BROKE in the process…and then
blaming themselves (or getting blamed by their “sponsors”)
when they fail.

I couldn’t get a straight answer from ANYONE!

All I could get was BS, lies, and evasive answers. NO one
would tell me their secrets. Was there even a secret?

In fact, an entire industry has developed around offering
ALL kinds of hope, hype and smoke to the dream chasers.

Why do you think this industry has the reputation that it has?
As brutal as it sounds…You don’t stand a chance on your
own. No one does actually. If only THEY told us that in the
beginning…

Now you know. And now you know of the only marketing
and support system in existence that will never, ever, ever
let you go it alone.

There are 5 stages of a dream, but most people never get past stage 2. To make dreams become a reality, you need to fulfill all 5 stages.

It all starts with a thought.

I thought it stage

Every dream starts with a thought. You begin to wonder what it would be like at achieve your dream. You question if it is even possible for it to become a reality and whether you can move forward as more than just a thought.

I caught it stage

After you think about t for a while, you get excited. You begin to think of the possibilities and it becomes more than just a thought. You begin to research and read about it and make contacts and get more information. You start to believe you can do it. This is the stage that most people stop at. They may read about some business opportunity online and get excited about the possibilities of a change in lifestyle and the money they could make and what good they could do with it. They go through all the information but are too scared to move to the next stage which is the I Bought It stage.

I bought it stage

This is the stage that separates the men from the boys. The serious from the tire kickers. The entrepreneurs from the hopefuls. Every dream has a price. Most people can think it and catch it, but are not willing to pay the price to continue their dream and make it a reality. They are not willing to get up early and stay up late. Not willing to get the education and learn new skills. Not willing to pay to go the extra mile and do what it takes, whether with a financial or time and effort commitment. They assume because they have a dream, it will come to them automatically. Nothing comes without action and effort. Every dream has a price. It is going to cost you hours of doing things others wont do. Otherwise, your dream will pass you by.

You have to pay now and play later. Get the discipline and education now so you don’t play now and pay later. Go after the dream while you are able, for if you don’t you will regret it later in life. The I bought it stage has a price to pay. Once you pass this test though, you get to move to the next stage.

I sought it stage

The desire begins to set in and you begin to go after it. You get on a mission with laser focus and take the action needed to make your dream a reality. You sell yourself on the fact that you are going to do what it takes to become a success. You don’t listen to the negative people in your life who say it can’t be done. Nothing is going to stop you.

I got it stage

When you are determined, nothing can stop you. Once you reach the I got it stage, you are standing in the dream. It has become a reality and you are living it. It is no longer a theory in your head. Your thoughts and actions have manifest into reality. Your dream has come to be. Your lifestyle has changed, you are living as you dreamed you would and you can afford to do the things you wanted when that first thought sparked in your mind and you began to think of the possibilities.

I taught it stage

There is another stage after you have realized your dream. This is when you have a passion for teaching the things you have learned and you become a mentor and a leader to other people who want to share your dream and have the success that you have. These are the leaders in your company that do trainings and are willing to give their time to help others achieve their dreams. There is as much satisfaction from this stage as there is from realizing your own dream.

A dream breaks through your limitations. When you begin to live the dream, you begin to establish new dreams, bigger and better than your original thought.

If you apply yourself and make up your mind that you are going to achieve your dreams, they will become a reality. It all starts with a dream!

One of the biggest problems with home business entrepreneurs is having Faith and belief in what they are doing. Most try a few things to market their opportunity and hope they work, but it is the belief that makes it work.

You must believe in what you are doing. Sow your seed and expect to reap your reward. A classic illstartion comes from the bible in Mark 9 where a father brings his boy to Christ to be healed. Jesus says,”I can heal your son. If you will believe. I will heal him.” The father then says, “Lord, I do believe. Help me overcome my unbelief.” Have you ever felt like that? You know what you are doing is right, but yu are not sure if you will get the results you are after.

This is a problem with unbelief and doubt which is a killer of dreams.

Yet despite his doubts the father asked Jesus to heal his son and got what he asked for. You see, it only takes a little faith when your faith is in God. The faith of a mustard seed can move mountains if only you will believe in your heart that your God will grant your wishes.

Next time you present a project, try to close a sale, or get that contract you have been waiting for. Expect that you are going to succeed and have faith that God will provide according to His riches in glory. A Little Faith+ A Big God= Huge Results.

You take your little faith, “Lord, I believe. Help me with my unbelief.” You place your faith in our big God and He will show you how He works out big results.

Learn How To Manage Rejection

Have you ever been so pumped up about a new business opportunity and couldn’t wait to go out and tell everyone that you have found the greatest product or company out there and give them all the details, knowing that they will see what you see and join you so you can become infinitely successful and wealthy together?

Have you been equally dejected when each and every person you spoke to wasn’t interested and said you were crazy and it sounds like a scam?

If you are like me, you have been there and it doesn’t feel good. You go from excitement and having the feeling of a dreamer thinking what you are going to do with your new found wealth and success, to a bubbling mess saying that it will never work, or it’s not for you, or other people can do it, but you just don’t have the skills to master it.

Handling continued rejection from your closest friends and family can be soul destroying and can be a major killer of dreams. So, how do you handle this kind of rejection and keep moving forward with a positive attitude?

If this speaks to you, know that the majority of people cannot handle continued rejection. But, people who learn how to handle it and move on become incredibly wealthy and successful in all areas of life.

If you are looking to achieve massive amounts of success, then you are going to have to deal with massive amounts of rejection. The way you handle it that will determine the success.

There can be comfort taken though when you understand the law of averages. The law of averages states that if you talk to enough people about your business, a certain number will say yes. If you are pretty good at convincing people about your product about 3 in 10 will say yes and join you.

That means 7 out 0f 10 are going to say no. Once you understand this, you can look at every no as a step closer to a yes. Also, if you make a certain amount of money for each new member or sale then you can work that in to the law of averages.

Say you make $1,000 for each product you sell. If you talk to 10 people and 3 say yes, then you have made $3,000 by talking to ten people. That works out as $300 for every person you talk to. If you go by these averages, it doesn’t matter if they say yes or no. You know by doing your job and telling them about your product you just made $300.

It takes the sting out of rejection and also the desperation out of the sales pitch, which in turn increases your sales.

So, never give up when you get rejected. Just keep on trying an move that rejection behind you. Remember, Thomas Edison failed over 6,000 times before he perfected the light bulb.
