Where I've Been

I'm not exactly certain where to start with this post.

For the past several months, I have been wrestling with a couple health issues. As I have written in previous posts, I had major heart surgery about 2 1/2 years ago. Around that time it was determined that I had developed Type 1 diabetes.

During my recovery from the surgery and the ongoing drive to get my diabetes under control, there were many changes with my business interests and personal relationships.
Post-op depression and a generally diminished physical capacity brought about a long period of introspection. (Eight way heart bypass will do that for you.)

During this period, I decided to focus on my family and my recovery and I let the business take a back seat.

I experienced another set back earlier this year and the heart docs convinced me to have a defibrillator implanted. The physical recovery for this procedure is mostly complete and I am learning my new physical limitations.

Flash forward to now -

My immediate goal is to reconnect with the business and find a new company with a program I can build. I also plan to post more regularly here and on some of my other sites.

I look forward to re-establishing regular posts and reaching out to those that stop by to check things out.

More Than Enough To Go Around

There's no question we are in the midst of hard times. Add to the economic trouble, the questionable solutions offered by Congress and the "financial experts", the rabid Presidential race - we are getting our ass kicked.

Pain. Is there anyone you know that isn't experiencing some sort of pain?

I'm not trying to exploit the demise that we are suffering. Forget the sales pitch for a moment.

How many people that are currently experiencing financial trouble COULD you have helped IF only you had talked with them about your business project? Perhaps you market a health & wellness product that could provide some relief for even a few minutes a day - but you permitted yourself to be distracted.

What about your own situation? Some people are masochists, I guess.

I do not for a moment believe that MLM will provide the complete solution for what may be ailing us.

I do believe however that starting and building your own MLM business may help to cover some shortfalls. With the proper focus, I know it can provide a pathway toward your personal freedom and independence from many of the forces that are tearing families apart.

I do not care whether you join any of my projects. I'm not writing this in an attempt to recruit anyone. I am promoting the notion that everyone should seek out a program that will allow them to start right away - a program that will meet their requirements in terms of enrollment, products, compensation, training, and philosophy.

None of us can afford to wait for the economic situation to remedy itself. Regardless of whom may be to blame, I do not think it wise to wait for our politicians to construct an equitable and fair solution.

Please. This is far too important to ignore. I don't ask you to sign on with me. At least, look at what the marketplace has to offer and, if you haven't yet, put some sort of plan in motion.

MLM & Politics

The difference between some MLMer's and the average politician?

One day, there will be an election and the politician will shut up. Rarely will either live up to the hype.

The Presentation - Talking Points or Solutions Potential?

I have been listening to a training program lately which made me think about the way I present my business project to my prospects. Even more, I have started to evaluate the various presentations that have been made by others.

For what it's worth ...

Does your presentation consist of a 5-point checklist in which you enumerate all the advantages YOU believe should be important to your prospect?

Or -

Do you engage your prospect through dialog to determine what motivates them to look at your project and what problems they seek to overcome by joining your business?

Your checklist and memorized comp plan may well be very impressive but does it truly reach into the hearts and minds of the person who is seeking something better for the quality of their life?
