April 9 Day 51
Hmmmm…Day 51 already! If I look at my business right now, I can see that I am not even close to where I want to be a year from now. But if I stop and look back and see what I have done to get to day 51, I can certainly see I am on track! Network Marketing is a process, and honestly the only way to fail in this is to quit! I read somewhere, that if you were to climb a big mountain and you stood on the bottom of that mountain and looked up; you would probably think the climb to the top was difficult and impossible. But if you started that climb and didn’t look up, but only looked at the steps in front of you, before you know it, you are at the top! One of my favorite examples of this is from the movie “Saving the Giants” Check out this clip on You Tube.
SAVING THE GIANTS WHOLEHEARTEDLY
I have a full time “JOB” but I don’t tune in to the frequency from “WJOB”. I know there is so much more to my life than a JOB and being so exhausted by the end of the day that all I want to do is lay on the couch. There is so much more to life. I don’t want a big house, I don’t want a fancy car. I want Financial Freedom. Freedom from worries, the ability to pay for my children’s college, to wake up with my husband each morning and never have to leave his side for days at a time. Contribute large to charities and fund raisers, lift people up to one of greater health and greater wealth. Yes I want to save the world!
Chapter Two in Napoleon Hills Book “Think and Grow Rich” is called DESIRE: The starting Point of All Achievement. (The First Step to Riches)
The last paragraph of this chapter reads. “I wish to convey the thought that all achievement, no matter what its nature or purpose, must begin with an intense, burning desire for something definite. Through some strange and powerful principle of “mental chemistry”. Nature wraps up in the impulse of strong desire ‘that something’ which recognizes no such word as impossible, and accepts no such reality as failure."

Two Little Dreamers........March 23rd Day 34
Years ago, when I was a teenager someone said to me “You’re such a dreamer”. I was very hurt by this because they said it in a negative connotation, making fun of my thoughts, ideas and wishes. I am pretty sure this stifled me in a lot of ways. But boy did I love dreaming! I used to make stories up in my head of how I wanted things to be. I would imagine walking beaches of the world, the man of my dreams and always in them I was laughing and having fun and living.
I would never tell anyone of these dreams that I would manifest in my head.
In retrospect and examining my life, past, present and future. Those dreams in my head are how I live my life. I am a very happy person, always laughing and enjoying people. I cannot wait to meet new people, everyone has their own story that is so interesting to me, and I’m like a personal peeping Tom, so eager to hear about someone else's experience. I think I like to hear those stories because I learn from them; I apply them to my life experience and always eager to learn something new. I can’t wait to see what adventure is around every corner and I don’t think any age is going to stop me from living this way. It’s just the way I am.
But what I also realized is so many of those dreams have manifested into reality! And when I think about it, it was the ones that I wanted badly, the ones I had to have, the ones that there was no way I would live my life without. The ones I had a burning desire for………..
There are so many dreams I have manifested and the major one was marrying the man of my dreams, he is everything I had ordered up.
But I want to tell you the story of two little dreamers.......
As a little girl my best friend Terry and I would grab a map and we would plan our road trip cross country to California. Don’t know why we wanted to go there, but I’m sure it was inspired by our “Malibu Barbie” doll in its pink convertible. Because that was our destination Malibu, we would plan our trip marking spots along the way. We would agree on where we wanted our apartment to be but would argue over how to decorate it. We even planned on what we would do once we got there and what types of jobs we would get. We dreamed of meeting stars and one day being one ourselves.
Was it just a coincidence that years later, I boarded a plane to Southern California, got an apt 3 blocks from the beach and worked side by side with some of the biggest stars in the industry? I never became a “movie star” but certainly have met enough of them. The star I became was the star of my life.
Terry on the other hand, never left for California; she married, raised three beautiful Children. But her dreams still became her reality, because she has recently just moved her son out to Southern California, so he could pursue his acting career!
The dreams of these two little girls had come true!
We would also map out faraway place we were going to visit. This was going to be our lives. We wanted to visit every corner of the world large and small. Is it a mistake we are both Flight Attendants for major airlines?
No it is not, it was our burning desire to have what we wanted. Our dreams became our reality and that is the magic of life.
I know what my future holds because I hold in my heart a burning desire backed by faith. Would you like to to know my secret dream? I would love to know yours!

Breakthrough Day 22
One of my Mentors in this business of Network Marketing once told me, if you do not have a Personal Development program, you may never make it in this business. I was very confused by this. Why would I need a Personal Developement program? I'm in sales, a great Realtor at that and I love people. What is he talking about? Well two years into this great business, I know what you are talking about Ron!
I love this business, I love my product, I love my programs, who can ask for anything more. But like I said before, its a simple business, but its a business and like anything it has to be worked.
So into Day 22 on my journey to the promised land, I noticed something about myself. I love what I do, I know what I have to do, Ive seen other people do it with tangible results. What is holding me back? What I discovered is I am not following up with the people I love to connect with.
Oh yes, I tell everyone, peak their interest, but when it comes to the follow up. I stop! Now that is sick. I actually know I'm doing it. I tell myself tomorrow and give every excuse. Its like I want to fail, I dont want to bring anyone in. Now that's crazy because I am in momentum and going forward. So why am I not following up with people who want to cleanse?
Thank Heaven that my company has one of the best personal development programs attached to the business. They are doing it right, they want everyone to succeed. One of my New Years Resolutions was to get on this training call everyday, rain or shine, for one hour a day no matter what! And that's what I am doing.
So I learned that my procrastination or action to do what sabotages me, may be fear of failure (don't think so), fear of success (now there is alot to this because success brings many things like FEAR OF RESPONSIBILITY! That's it, its me, I got it! My life is so crazy, as I am sure is every other human out there.
I KNOW everyone has a form of crazy in their life! So in my mind because of crazy life, I tell myself that I have no room for anything else. In the deep recesses of my mind, I'm telling myself I don't want another cleanser because I will have to be responsible for that person having success! What if they fail after I've showed them how to succeed?
But this is so crazy because my life long dream is to help other people in Health and Wealth and to lift them up! But I fear the responsibility of that persons success.
So my trainer and mentor Susan Sly told me this, and this was a great big ah ha!
"You are not responsible for any ones success, you are responsible to show them how to be successful"
Now how exciting is that! That I can do!

Overwhelm Mode Day 14
Help!! I want to shout this to the rooftops!
I wish there was an easy way. Wouldn't it be nice if you can sit back and just let everyone else run your network marketing business. Sometimes that does happen. Ive heard stories where people enroll just two or three dynamos and then they reap all the benefits. Ive done research and yes it does happen, but its kind of like winning the lottery, and most of the time, those people who signed up the two dynamos were in network marketing before and had paid their tuition and their time! This business works, but the keyword is work. Its a business!
I was on a call this morning learning about stress modes. Am I in stress mode, power mode or apathy mode?
I do know what mode I'm in, I'm in I'm afraid to call mode. Not that I am actually afraid to call, because I love people and have so many friends, but I feel I really don't want to bother them with what I'm doing. They're busy right?
But I ask myself this question. What if someone didn't tell me about this perfect opportunity? I am so thankful to the person who introduced me to this. She has really opened up another world for me. First of all, because of the products I use, Ill probably live to 125 as will my family! But secondly, I am so in love with this opportunity. There is no other opportunity out there that enables anyone, and Ill say it again anyone to be a millionaire! But most people are not willing to do the work. Because they maybe tell a few friends and those people laugh at them or maybe one joins, they quit!
Its also such a self discovery journey. So far Ive discovered I don't like to ask anyone for anything. I am a giver giver giver, so afraid to ask. I just started training with a coach who is actually a millionaire in my company. There are so many coaches out there, be careful who you choose. Choose someone who has walked the talk and can prove it to you. Anyway, she is taking me down a road of self discovery. And is challenging me to step out of my comfort zone and become all that I was meant to be, so I can serve in this world! Although it sounds like an ad for the Army, its really amazing. I found its even helping me in my personal life. I can stand up for what I believe without being afraid of confrontation. So many people sit back in their comfort zones and become very depressed because of it.
So, Network marketing is a journey of self discovery. I am now realizing that I cant let anyone down, so many people are looking for what I have, the gift of Health and Wealth. Who am I to keep my mouth shut! That's not serving anyone!

Clock is Ticking and Im still Sticking - Day 12
Day 12 since my bright idea of documenting my journey to Financial Freedom! I spent the last 7 days at my J.O.B. I love to call it that because for me it means Just Over Broke and all the time. I do not have a 9 to 5 job, when I'm gone, I'm gone and that is overseas, so its a little harder for me in that aspect. But on the brighter side, when I'm home, I'm home and its not a 9 to 5!
I've been a little stressed out this past week. When I look back at my numbers my team is growing, but I have not personally enrolled someone myself. I am pretty much beating myself up about this. I need my team to follow my example right? Its really not for lack of trying (which I was told that word means failing with grace) but I can see it is definitely lack of discipline.
Network marketing I have found during my 2 1/2 year journey so far is a journey in personal development. This is why I love it so much. I cant wait to get to a decent income level, so I can just go to David Wood or T.Harv Ecker seminars 24/7. I just love it! And it so fires me up.
But here is the deal, if you don't apply what you are being taught what is the sense. Like I said before, this is a simple business. As simple as it is, it is hard. And this is why it gets such a bad rap. Most people are not willing to work it! You need discipline. It is your own business. You don't have a boss to tell you you are late or you cant take off the day or the afternoon! So if you don't discipline yourself its easy to goof off. Network marketing works, but you have to work it. Uh the word contains the word Work! A business partner said to me "the climb to the top is hard but the view sure is worth it!" No other business can give you a view like that!
So my self discovery on day 12, which I guess is better than on day 300! Is procrastination. I like to put things off, and then when I do, I get upset and depressed because nothing gets done. Why do I do this to myself? Its so silly!
I have definitely been out there sharing from my heart. I truly believe I am not selling anything I am promoting a lifestyle that saves lives. So I love to network and this week alone I got 15 emails and phone numbers of people who want to cleanse the nasty toxins out of their body. But I procrastinated. I didn't email right away and Ive yet to phone one of the 15. Hmmmmmmmm that's not going to get me anywhere. I wonder if I'm afraid of success? Because that is certainly attainable with this compensation plan! I guess being aware of that is half the battle, time to work on the other half!
Glad its only day 12.. Ill start calling tomorrow. :-)

Is this possible? Day 4
Well, Ive got to say I woke up this morning in a panic!
Is this possible? Is it really possible to make an additional stream of residual income?
Can I build this business in addition to what I am already doing? I am flying full time for a major airline, I have a husband a home. What am I doing!?
I asked myself this question. If I was not working this as a business, would I still use the Nutritional Cleansing Products? And my answer was hands down, absolutely yes! See these products saved my life and I will not go a day without them. As for building a business, I'm not so sure.
As I do my research on network marketing and search my soul for my desires in life. I have realized a few things.
First, this is a simple business. But it is not an easy one, if it was everyone would be rich, right?
So why is it that after 2 1/2 years with this company, why am I watching people pass me right up to a higher income level?
I am definitely in the right company that is for sure. We have the most simple, lucrative compensation plan out there!
We meet three very important criteria when looking for a Home Based Business. 1) Your product must be consumable. 2) Your product must be unique. 3) Your product must be emotional. Well with people losing anywhere from 5 to 20 lbs on a 9 day cleanse, I would say that is emotional!
So, why am I not making at least $50K a year yet?
Soul searching, I believe in my product, I just started to believe in my company. I have found that we are past the timeline of 5 years where most companies fail. We have already made 44 millionaires, we have already reached 250 million dollars in sales and the owners have integrity and know what they are doing. They want to product more millionaires in network marketing than any other company!
Again, so what is holding me back? I think it was my thinking of network marketing itself. To me, it said the word Amway or Scamway as I used to call it. I know now that that is absolutely not true, but it was in my brain.
You see I used to view those companies as pyramid schemes, to me anyone who was involved was a loser and could not get a real job. As I started to see that was not true, by listening to Robert Kiyosaki who wrote "Rich Dad Poor Dad" or Donald Trump, Warren Buffet, and Brian Tracey.
I now know that network marketing is coming out of the woodwork and in the next 10 years 1 out of every 5 people will be involved somehow. But my past views have put some fear in me. Fear of telling people about this wonderful type of business and income opportunity. Fear they might label me a loser and involved in a get rich quick scheme or some dream of making a fast buck.
Today I am beyond my fear. In the words of my mentor Jimmy Smith a former butcher who now makes more money in one day than he did in one year as a butcher. "People don't know enough to say no to you?"
I am going to tell everyone about this wonderful company and its wonderful compensation plan. Because those who care don't matter and those that matter don't care!

MY STORY - DAY 2
I guess I should start with what kind of vehicle I am using to reach this Financial Freedom! There are so many out there, you can invest in Real Estate, Stocks, Buy Vending Machines or Laundry mats. I chose Net Work Marketing, well actually it chose me.
About 2 1/2 years ago my Mother In Law passed away. She had a Heart Attack the day after Thanksgiving. She was very obese and had diabetes. She survived her heart attack had triple by pass and then passed away six months later from what I call Western Medicine and Poor Nutrition. This was very devastating to us, she was a wonderful mother and grandmother. My husband was headed in the same direction at a little over 300 lbs! We called out for a change. Then a friend of mine introduced me to Nutritional Cleansing! What you say? She explained that she lost a significant amount of weight, but the amazing thing was she had more energy than ever before! I was like give it to me!!! Because I was so tired 24/7! She explained that we ingest toxins everyday with little nutrition, because our food supply is robbed of its minerals!
Long story short, between me my daughter, my husband, my mother and father, we lost a 150 lbs!! My husband lost 65lbs!!
Well I received a debit card in the mail with a little over 250 dollars on it and started to do my homework! Because I fell in love with a nutritional system and loved my family enough to share it with them. The company paid me! Come on you say!!
Welcome to the world of Network Marketing and Residual income! Now that I have all this energy, I need to get to work!!

365 Days to Financial Freedom
Day 1 Wednesday Feb 17,2010
Today is my first day to Financial Freedom! Although I’ve been working on it for the last 52 years, consciously the past 25! The reason I am writing this little Blog is basically to show myself I can do it. And basically, if I can do it, you can do it. Now, I’m putting this out to the world, well I think I am, depending on who reads it. So it ups my accountability.
I have wanted Financial Freedom, desired this lifestyle where I can hang with my husband and live a leisurely life. And not sit around eating Bon Bons, but to just do the things I desire; majorly contribute to society and spend quality time with family. You see we spend soooooo much time at our JOB; most of us live for that ultimate vacation where we have scrimped and saved our pennies for those 2 weeks out of the year. And most of us still spend those two weeks, doing things we don’t have time to do during the year.
I feel, I am destined to live a life that’s fuller than that, and not that there is anything wrong with the other way of life, people are very happy and raise beautiful children that contribute to the world in that kind of environment. But I want more, I desire more, I feel I can give more if I don’t have to go to a JOB that takes me away from my family and swallows up my time.
So I have been involved in Entrepreneurialship for the past 10 years. Only to find myself with a negative Financial Freedom Balance! Why? I really know the answer, because I have learned in this journey the steps I need to take to achieve that. The only problem is I don’t take them. Why? Is it fear of success? Maybe fear of the unknown? Fear of Rejection? Laziness? Maybe my desire is not strong enough. Who knows? All I know is that at age 52 Im changing courses!
Today I am applying all I’ve learned. Come and watch!

I feel, I am destined to live a life that’s fuller than that, and not that there is anything wrong with the other way of life, people are very happy and raise beautiful children that contribute to the world in that kind of environment. But I want more, I desire more, I feel I can give more if I don’t have to go to a JOB that takes me away from my family and swallows up my time.
So I have been involved in Entrepreneurialship for the past 10 years. Only to find myself with a negative Financial Freedom Balance! Why? I really know the answer, because I have learned in this journey the steps I need to take to achieve that. The only problem is I don’t take them. Why? Is it fear of success? Maybe fear of the unknown? Fear of Rejection? Laziness? Maybe my desire is not strong enough. Who knows? All I know is that at age 52 Im changing courses!
Today I am applying all I’ve learned. Come and watch!
