Network marketing is the best second j-o-b!

Network Marketing is not only the best way to earn money with a business of your own but the only way that is a level playing field for ANYONE wanting to be financially free.  I have found no other business model that will allow anyone from the high school dropout to the finest scholar, the person who knows everyone or the person who knows no one, or even the one that has trouble doing presentations to the one that thrives in the spotlight. Blue collar, white collar, any collar are all equally qualified to do this business.  All it takes is being able to follow directions, to follow a proven system and ask questions when you need to and listen once you ask them.

I had it all wrong, I thought I had to be like those other recruiters, the ones that can sell snowballs in Alaska!  I tried to be like them, but I just was not them, and couldn't duplicate what they did.  Consequently I didn't have the success they told me I could.  When I asked for help, I got told talk to more people, make a bigger list of family and friends, 'close' them this way or that way.  But my friends and family didn't want to be 'closed' and I soon ran out of them.

Now I have fun.. I talk to people that want to talk to me.  I do what is natural to me, I am making friends and helping them to be successful, sometimes just helping them to be better people, NOT CLOSING THEM!  What a great way to make money... just doing what comes naturally, making friends and friends helping friends!  Anyone can do this that wants to, it just takes the desire,a system, the right team to support you and being yourself.

An Artist needs to design more than their art... They need to design themselves!

When I first graduated from art school ( not telling how long ago!), we were advised to get an agent once we had a body of work, to market our art for us. Most of my artist friends were like me, we had a hard time figuring out how to price our work, and didn't like to brag on it. I was always thinking it wasn't good enough to demand much, I was still learning and didn't feel very qualified to go out and demand payment for it.

Now that we have all been out in the world for a time, some of my class was able to eventually go out an make a name for themselves. I have talked to several established artist that did make a market for their work and they would tell me that they also had friends that were very good and talented artist but were never able to get a hold in the market. I always wondered what could be the difference, was it luck or was there something else at play. Why would not the best work get the best price?

In my case it was not the low opinion of my work but of myself that got in the way. My work is me, so I give the same value to it that I have of myself. The law of attraction says you get what you believe you can get, you draw to you what you think about. If I am thinking it is isn't good enough, the universe will make sure I get what I believe!

How do I believe I am good enough? How do I tell the universe what I want and really believe it will get it to me?

I am using something called autosuggestion. I am good enough, I have talent, and I am successful! I have to hear from myself and from as many positive sources I can find that I will succeed. This holds true for getting anything you want. It can be used for losing weight, for making more money... for anything you want to acquire. I developed a self talk that puts positive thoughts in my brain, I found a mastermind group that believes in me and supports me in what I want to accomplish and I am moving forward in meeting my goals both professionally and personally. Think about this... what you believe you back up by facts, but the facts came before or after you put together a thought about whatever you are trying to do? We have a thought or someone tells us something us true, usually a well meaning parent or friend and we look for it over and over until we make it true.

So make sure you hear positive statements over and over and you will take them as truth instead. You can turn anything in your life around just by being conscious of what you are allowing into your brain. You are worth the time and effort to make what you want to happen come to be. Click here and listen to this!
