Intention and Attention IS the Secret
There is NO secret to The Secret. It is constantly working for you NOW and has been since you were born. There is NOTHING mysterious about it. The movie just served to bring it to a greater number of peoples’ Attention.
It works like this: First is your Intention. Whatever is in your Mind CONSTANTLY will be created or manifested. So if you hold in your Mind the debt on your credit card, you will have debt on your credit card just as you will have more health if that is what you hold in your Mind. It is incredibly simple!
Consequently the first step is coming to real-ize what it is You INTEND to create.
Second is your Attention. Whatever is being held in your Mind is what you are Attending to. In essence you are welcoming it, making a place for it to ‘Enter and make Itself comfortable’. It is that simple.
So you have a choice: Let Others’ thoughts come and go at THEIR behest or You welcoming thoughts and their resulting manifestation by holding in your Mind Your thoughts at YOUR behest.
The Key to the Secrets is You entertaining the thoughts that match your conscious Desire and then letting your Subconscious get to work.
Control your thoughts or someone else will.

Attention & Your Attitude
I have posted before from the brilliant Randy Gage.
Here is his contribution today. http://www.networkmarketingtimes.com/blog/your-attitude/#more-1152
“Here’s the funny thing. The one thing we have the most control over is our attitude. Yet most people behave like they have no control over this whatsoever.
But your attitude determines how you respond when someone turns you down, doesn’t show up for a presentation, or a team member drops out. You can choose to make those learning experiences or distractions.
Your attitude determines whether you accept personal responsibility for what happens in your business, or you blame others. Your attitude determines whether you do daily self-development or not, exercise or not, try or give up. In fact, your attitude actually determines whether you decide to succeed or fail.”
May I add, so does forgiveness. In fact, forgiveness IS attitude, all about attitude, your attitude.
So if your relationships are not what you’d like, and I am including business relationships in that bunch, if conversations with loved ones and prospects aren’t as smooth as you’d like, may I suggest paying more Attention and perhaps you’ll see that Forgiveness is exactly what’s needed in the moment.
If you are looking for an aid to work on your ability to forgive, may I further suggest this audio CD – THE CHOICE OF FORGIVENESS.
Here’s a link to Amazon and no, I am not an affiliate.

Randy Gage Points Out “The Seeds of Opportunity”
About four years ago when I was in another Networking Company it was recommended that I read some sort of Personal Development material. Okay. But why in conjunction with Multi-Level Marketing I thought?
The person I was recommended to read was Randy Gage. Though I left that company shortly thereafter, I have remained a fan of Randy’s ever since.
You will easily see why. Here is his latest blog entry. “The Seeds of Opportunity”.
As Randy asks, You up for it?

“As a concept or an experience?”
Personal Development is only one of a handful of things that got me and my networking career straightened out. There are quite a few people who started out as coaches and mentors and who are now friends that are equally worthy of mention.
A turning point of my career was when I downloaded and read Success In 10 Steps. That eBook opened a worldview of network marketing that literally had me slapping my forehead and dropping my jaw.
All that and more led me to a bit of education and training that I discovered last December while researching more personal development resources. While surfing the web I came across the phrase “not informative but transformative learning.”
I had discovered the Landmark Forum and since then an entirely new way of seeing and being has been available to me.
As a way of illustrating how the Forum works, take this very brief conversational exchange that helped me own more deeply the solution to a chronic energy drain.
The presenter was capping off a conversation to which a participant answered, “I got it.” The presenter quickly but pointedly asked, “As a concept or an experience?”
Allow me to translate. “You say you understand but how did you take what I just gave you? As some passing idea that will be bumped out of you mind’s consciousness within the next 20-30 seconds, or as an experience you are now having on several levels of consciousness, none more important than in your heart?”
Those who have been reading my posts will recall this post of mine
http://liveyourdream-ownyourlife.com/set-your-heart-your-mind-will-follow
The ‘heart – mind’ battle is one I have been fighting for some time. If you have too you just might appreciate this exchange as much as I do:
“I got it.”

Attention is NOT Concentration
Attention is not the same as Concentration. The latter is exclusion; the former, total awareness, excludes Nothing.
If you think about it, it is pretty obvious that most of us are not aware, not only of what we’re talking about but of the colors and shapes around us, our immediate environment, the people we call clients or prospects for our business.
Most likely it is because we are so wrapped up in ourselves, with our own little problems, ideas, ambitions, pleasures and pusuits that we cannot be aware.
And how we talk about building relations with our clients!
Are you aware of how this makes you feel?

The Aphorism Salon – On The Wrong Track?
I’m currently with the only five pillar company I’ve come across in seven years of networking. Yet it took me months to bring the first of my affiliate distributors into this great company. Why so long?
John’s aphorism explains it well. I was on the wrong track with some really bad habits, gathered over those misguided years, developed through misplaced trust and a basic misunderstanding of the industry. Every occasion and every conversation I had was wrong. I was “arriving at the wrong station” again and again. I was on the wrong track and that track was my bad prior training and habits.
What bad habits? Here’s the short list:
1. Selling - Yes, SELLING – my MLM opportunity.
Big, huge, monumental and deadly mistake. As my mentor rightly says: “This is not a sales business, but a relationship business. No one wants to be sold.”
2. Buying MLM leads.
Passed off as fresh MLM leads they were expensive and useless. The only ones who benefited were my upline who were supposed to be helping me build OUR business! Just imagine their cynicism: knowing that new affiliates on average recruit only 2.7 new distributors, they figured out a way to make money on the backs of newbies by selling useless leads. The money paid to the leads company got shared. A kick-back. Buying and selling leads is a scam. Worse, it does not lead to duplication, the backbone of any true MLM. It breeds only mistrust and a culture of cynical cannibalism.
3. Making a list of friends and family and practicing “the 3-foot rule”.
I targeted everyone I knew and then went after everyone that came near me. I took so much heat that I became gun-shy. So gun-shy that in my current company, I was reluctant at first to talk to anyone at all even though I believed and knew the value of the company and the opportunity.
I had to learn NOT to talk to just anyone but to seek out the volunteers, those who fit us, our company, our culture and our ‘family’. I learned to screen prospects the way I learned to screen prospective tenants in my 4-family house. I began looking for people I could live and prosper with.
How do you feel about that?

Money-When It Is Profane Part 4
In business, in a relationship, in any aspect of life, when someone focuses ONLY on money – removing all Life & Energy from their Intent and focus of Attention – they are committing an act of profanity.
Money = Energy = Life
This equation, and more importantly the understanding of it, is what makes Money sacred.
Abrogate the implicit wisdom of it, break the equation, and Money becomes profane.
We are each of us born with specific talents that we are each responsible for discovering, developing and using to solve problems for ourselves and others. In other words, TO SERVE.
And in return for your service to yourself and others, in return for loving others as you love yourself, you receive more Life or Energy – in the form of Money.
Isolate anything too much and it becomes profane.
Commit any act to acquire Money only, without regard to replenishment, and it is a Crime.
Want more Money? Serve more people. Solve more problems.
Want millions? Serve millions. Solve the problems of millions.
Take their Money without serving and you’re a Criminal.
Too simplistic? Go back & read it again . . .
. . . in return for your service to yourself and others, in return for loving others as you love yourself, you receive more Life or Energy – in the form of Money.
How do you feel about that?

“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.

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.
