Where Are Your Dreams?
I woke up a few mornings ago with that phrase running, singing through my mind. Groggily I grabbed a voice recorder and captured this:
Where are your dreams? Where are your dreams? Where are your dreams?
Are you feeding them? If not, they’ll avoid you. They’ll go some place where they are fed.
Where are your dreams? Where are your dreams? Where are your dreams?
Are you taking care of them? Are you serving your dreams? If not, they’ll go to someone who will treat them better.
Where are your dreams? Where are your dreams? Where are your dreams?
Dreams are living things. They need sustenance. They need care. They need attention and love. If you don’t give them sustenance, care, attention and love, they’ll find someone who will.
Where are your dreams? Where are your dreams? Where are your dreams?
Your dreams are sensitive things. They know when they’re being slighted. They know when you’re paying them lip service.
They’ll never come. They’ll never come true if you don’t give them what they need.
Where are your dreams? Where are your dreams? Where are your dreams?
Are your dreams in prison? Have you locked them up? Have you put them away saying, “One day, one day they’ll come true”? Your dreams will fly away if they don’t FEEL they’ll come true.
Don’t lock up you dreams.
Don’t ignore your dreams expecting that they’ll always be there.
Don’t take your dreams for granted.
FEED them. SUSTAIN them. EXERCISE them. Give your dreams what they need & they’ll grow & come true.
Then you’ll know where your dream is ’cause it will always come back to you, it’ll never go far. It’ll stay where it’s being taken care of.
Where is your dream? Where is your dream? Where is your dream?
Your dream is like an egg. If there’s a crack in it when placed in hot water, it’ll explode & your egg, your dream, will leak out. The container will be breached and it will not be true.
Where are you holding your dream? In a waterproof, crackproof container that can withstand the boiling hot waters of negativity and naysayers and doubters?
Where are your dreams? Where are your dreams? Where are your dreams?
Have you accessed them yet? Are they where you can play with them, live with them, work with them?
Are they accessible to you? Or do you put them away in a safeplace for safekeeping for a safer time?
Where are your dreams?
There’s only one thing your dreams need to stay alive . . .
FEED them ACTIONS. Your Actions. Your Dedicated Passionate Actions.
Action & Attention. That’s all your dreams need. And they’ll come . . .

“Life Is Tough . . . It’s Even Tougher When We’re Ignorant”
There’s this little shop in my neighborhood that has all sorts of bric-a-brac in its window, including a small whiteboard. On it the shop’s eccentric owner posts these short, quirky and yet insightful little bits of wisdom. A few days ago the board read:
Life is tough – it’s even tougher when you’re stupid.
Hit me right between the eyes. I mean, I’ve been stupid, had stupid ideas and done stupid things. And they’ve all made my life more difficult. Well, maybe stupid is not accurate and too harsh. Maybe ignorant is more like it. Anyway. . .
The list is long and it touches every part of my life but since this blog is as much about networking as it is about personal development, let’s go there. Let’s look at how being ignorant of the industry cost me – in many ways.
· I totally fell in love with the product, thinking that product quality or uniqueness was enough to insure my success. I believed all I had to do was SELL and the rest would be my million dollar dream come true.
· I paid absolutely no attention to the compensation plan. I wouldn’t ignore how I was to be paid in a conventional job, but come MLM, I totally disregarded it.
· I spent THOUSANDS on one company’s products UPFRONT. I had so much inventory from this frontloading tactic that I wound up giving or throwing the product away.
· I bought leads at the advice of my sponsoring upline, trusting that my sponsors were working with me toward my success. The people I spoke to NEVER heard of my company or had simply filled out an online survey to “get stuff”.
· I got into a reverse funneling system that offered a standard marketing and advertising back office site but charged me $300 EACH MONTH to host it. Luckily education put an end to that financial drain.
Yes, I got educated. I made my life a lot easier by educating myself and getting the mentorship I needed to succeed in this industry. I just wish I had read that Google ad sooner!
The ad I read got me a free copy of SUCCESS IN 10 STEPS by Michael Dlouhy. If you need help avoiding many of these MLM landmines and want a copy of the map through the field, please help yourself on the right sidebar.
And of course you can contact me at any time.
I mean, your MLM Networking Life is tough enough as it is. Don’t make it tougher. Get answers, get mentoring.

Attraction = Intention + Attention
I get asked frequently why I use the word INTENTION and ATTENTION when most people who speak of this subject usually just use the word ATTRACTION.
There is a very good reason.
The Law of Attraction (LOA) is an inviolable law of the universe: Whatever thought or image a person keeps and nourishes with emotion will manifest.
Now most who hear this believe that if they really, really, really want something it will >POP< appear by magic. Sorry. To be kind, this is naive. A bit more is required.
We live in a world of duality. Up & Down. Right & Left. On & Off. Polar opposites.
There is NEVER one without the other. We can’t ever have a Right without a Left because in truth, polarities are points on a Continuum.
One of the more dynamic of these polarities is Inside & Outside. Where does your Inside stop? At the tip of your nose? And your Outside? Somewhere in Infinity? If so, where?
You desire something and you set your Heart on it. You dwell on it. Dream about it. Imagine how you’ll FEEL when it manifests. Good. Your Intent is in place. Your internal settings are good to go. But is that all? Is something else needed?
What are you ATTENDING to? What is your ATTENTION on? To what is your Mind bending? Where and on what will your actions be directed and focused?
You see the “opposite pole” of Intention is Attention. Just having the right stuff going on internally is only a start. You have to take action and you must consider a direction or target for your action. To what and where in the world Outside of You are you bending your Mind and directing your Intentional force? Wherever that is, is where your Attention lies. Or should lie if you want fulfillment of your desire.
If your Heart’s Intention and your Mind’s Attention are unbroken, in unison and focused on the same external outcome, you will ATTRACT your Desire. The energy continuum will be complete and manifestation imminent.
If not, there’s work to be done getting these poles in synch.

Don’t Sell – SERVE
I went to a networking event last night that was advertised as a Social Media event. Little did I realize it would be the perfect Real-ization of what happens in that virtual online world.
When the presenter – a very personable man – kept trying to impress the audience of 50 with the high Google rankings his 40 websites consistently achieve, I had the feeling I get when reading invitations to friendship on Facebook. Not to disparage Facebook but to highlight how it’s being used.
You’ve seen them: “Thank you for adding me as a friend. I look forward to sharing some ideas on networking and marketing with you.” Shortly thereafter you’re hit with this: “ Here’s my deal. It’s in pre-launch and you’ll be rich by next Thursday ’cause the product is . . . blah, blah, yada, yada . . . and endorsed by . . . “
Last evening’s presenter did just that: after the warm-up and presentation of his top 40 Google hits, he offered his one-on-one services (“not cheap” he called them) to get our websites to the top five rankings in less than a week. And to host our sites as well.
But the biggest disappointment, saved for the end, was what he called “hard networking”. Dividing the group, he had the first 25 stay put while the second 25 rotated giving each of us 1 minute of face-to-face time to make our pitch. Though he didn’t call it that, of course. He called it “relationship building”. In one minute!
Please remember this: 98% of the population DOES NOT like to be sold. I learned this the hard way from my previous failures in networking. It finally registered when I had a way of putting it into context. I had believed, as most of the business population does, that SELLING is what doing business is all about.
Wrong, Wrong, WRONG!
Doing business is knowing and serving people. Don’t sell. Serve.
Beginning and end of story. What put this all into context for me was Success In 10 Steps.

What’s Your Dream?
Why is a dream so important?
Here’s why: Your dream is your homing device, your beacon. It is the lighthouse that you are traveling toward.
So, what’s your dream? What’s your ‘Why’?
Why, why, why do you desire to be in the extremely rewarding but the not-easy-to-do networking industry? Your ‘Why’ had better be selfish or it’s useless to you. Totally useless.
What’s your dream, your intention and your ‘Why’? What’s going to keep you going through those lonely moments when you feel the big chill of rejection? Again and again.
What’s your dream? What’s your personal development program like?
If you can’t see how this is connected to networking, well, I was in exactly the same boat until my mentors started holding my beacon in front of me, for me to travel toward - and it turned out to be ME.
I was the goal. A fuller, more complete, more confident, more generous and more loving ME.
You must love yourself as you love your neighbor to have any success in networking.
To achieve the abundance and prosperity that is rightfully yours, you must understand and live the correct virtue of selfishness and personal growth. Because no matter how generous you may want to be in the future with your hard-won free time and money, your intention for being in this game has got to be about YOU first. Just like that video you watch before the plane takes off – put on YOUR oxygen mask FIRST before tending to OTHERS.
Cultivate who you are, because “who you are” is what you will project. There is no hiding this. And “who you are” is what will motivate people to go into business with you. People will join YOU not the company.
Cultivate “who you are”. THAT is what owning your life is all about.
My first lesson in discovering my ‘Why’ was found in Success in 10 Steps.
Help yourself to it. It’ll cost you nothing – you could end up owning your life.

The Ultimate “Secret” Technique for Networking Success
The ultimate technique is really not secret at all. You just haven’t realized it yet.
I mean that literally. You just haven’t made it real – that’s what realize means. As specialize means to make something special, realize means to make something real, something manifest.
Here’s the secret: To own your success, to own your life, learn how to own your mind and its thoughts and images.
Sound simple? You say you’ve heard this before and it makes some sense to you? Then ask yourself this: Are you still watching the soaps and the news, still reading gossip sites and magazines, still surfing the web, playing video games or catching your team’s latest game, all as time-killers?
When you do these things and others like them, you are renting space in your mind to others, giving away your power – and they will never, Never, NEVER care about your success as much as you do. Why would they?
If that’s fully registered, the next question is: “How do I get a handle on the thoughts and images that pop in and out of my mind seemingly uncontrolled by me?”
Here’s the answer: You need to cleanse your apparatus; wipe the mental slate clean as much as this is possible.
And the first step is to turn off the TV & radio, throw out the newspapers and magazines. Start controlling what you are letting enter your mind.
This is obviously easier said than done so ask yourself, “How badly do I want this success?” I don’t mean sitting there, fists and teeth clenched, neck veins bulging, shaking, sweating, and red-faced saying out loud, “I really, really, really, REALLY want success.”
The programming done is deep and has been ongoing for a very long time. It’s called culture, and it’s happened to us all. The media used are insidious and have been developed into more tricks than we’ll ever learn. We’ve all been targeted.
This mental cleansing is not possible alone. You will need a plan and the support of like-minded people who have suffered as you have and who, like you, are consumed by their success.
Believe it or not, they are equally consumed by serving as your mentors.

Food for Thought . . . and Thought as Food
If there is a better tale illustrating the dynamic of thought and intent, and the power we each possess, I’ve never seen or heard it.
If you know it, enjoy it once again. If it’s new to you, I don’t think you’ll forget the simplicity and power of it.

An old Cherokee was sitting with his grandson, telling the boy about the battle that goes on inside people.
He said, “My son, the battle is between two ‘wolves’ inside us all.
“One is Evil. It is called Anger, Envy, Jealousy, Sorrow, Regret, Greed, Arrogance, Self-pity, Guilt, Resentment, Inferiority, Lies, False Pride, and Superiority.
“The other is Good. It is called Joy, Peace, Love, Hope, Serenity, Humility, Kindness, Benevolence, Empathy, Generosity, Truth, Compassion and Faith.”
The grandson thought about it for a while and then asked,
“Grandfather, which wolf wins?”
The old Cherokee simply said, “The one you feed.”
~~~~~~~~~~
What’s this got to do with networking you might ask? Well just about everything!
If you are struggling with your business, you are struggling with yourself.
Ask yourself: Which wolf am I feeding?
