Playing The Time Leverage Game
Funny how each of us really has the same dream: time, money, great relationships, and a meaningful, fulfilling life. But none of us will ever achieve our dream by trading time for money in a job.
There is only one way and that is to learn to Leverage Our Time; make Time and Others work for us.
Here are the Rules as outlined in a great, short, impactful book by Bill Quain Overcoming Time Poverty: How To Achieve more By Working Less.
1. Learn To Multiply. Time for Money is linear and to increase the money you have to increase the Time. It is simple addition. Instead learn to Multiply, using the Time of Others whom you have taught and mentored and the Time of the Others whom they have found in turn. And so on and so on.
2. Increase the value of your time, don’t increase your time. When you create more without working more, you have automatically made your time more valuable.
3. Use your time to Build not Buy. Build equity that will work for you forever. Don’t spend money on things but on more income-producing assets.
4. Build a Toll Booth, not a Toil Booth. Be more interested in collecting than working. Find a massive and dynamic trend and take part in it. Even just a small part of each transaction will accumulate quickly.
5. Get a Mentor, be a Mentor. In this Time Leverage Game, build a network of winners. We all need help and it is our responsibility to pass on that help to those who earnestly seek it.

Gandhi on Network Marketing (!)
“A ‘No’ uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a ‘Yes’ merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble. “
I don’t know if my friend and mentor Tom ‘Big Al’ Schreiter is a student of Gandhi or not, but this is right out of ‘Big Al’s’ Three Steps To Success: “Take the Volunteers.”
Be grateful for a clear and honest NO. Their NO releases you, allowing you to move on to further efforts. When you get excuses or reasons, don’t bother chasing them.
Avoid Stress! It’s a killer.

Your World Is Your Word
Michelle (I have changed her name) first appeared to be a sincere and eager seeker of her own stable and secure future. She had downloaded the free eBook that I offer, had read it and had taken the initiative to email me her three deepest reasons for needing to succeed in her network marketing business. I take the sharing of such WHYs as a great honor. She impressed me very much and I was optimistic about our fledgling business relationship.
That’s why I was so taken back by her cancellation again and was moved to ask her a simple question: “Do you think with all that’s going on in the world right now there is one simple explanation for it?” She said she didn’t think there was.
I begged to differ and told her, “The reason there is so much turmoil in the world right now, so much contention right here in our country between political parties, so much anger from the populace is because people don’t keep their word anymore. It is that simple. If members of Congress and parliaments kept to their duties, if presidents and prime ministers kept to their promises, if business leaders and employees kept to their agreements, how different would the world be right now?”
I continued. “Michelle, no matter how hard you work, no matter what skills I am able to help you acquire, no matter how great your company is, if you don’t keep your word you won’t find the success you so deeply desire.”
It is THAT simple. And if you believe that she keeping her word, or you and I keeping our word, is inconsequential, well I’ll end with the words of the master, Mohandas Gandhi:
“As Human Beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the Atomic Age – as in being able to remake ourselves.”

“See, all that money can’t save you.”
Carmine DeSalvo died this morning at 3am.
He was a friend of my father’s, my 89-year old father.
I remember Mr. DeSalvo vividly. He was brash but generous. He gave me one of those model airplane kits when I was about 10 years old and he was the owner of a small neighborhood deli shop – one of his many businesses on the way to becoming a fairly successful small business owner.
My father when he broke the news: “See, all that money can’t save you.”
Now behind that belief and sentiment is this:
some people believe money CAN save their life and since it obviously can’t – we all DO die, don’t we – then why should one ever pursue money?
The payoff, pardon my pun, of such a rationale is to get one’s self off the hook of making money, of being industrious, of being productive TO ONE’S FULLEST CAPACITY.
It gives one a rationale and excuse for being poor and lazy at the very worst.
“Make just enough to get by because if you ever DO overreach, your hand will be slapped by the big phantom in the sky and you’ll be rewarded with death.”
Obviously, rationally, WE ARE ALL GOING TO MEET DEATH, regardless of how much money we create in life. There simply is no correlation, no real connection between how much money one makes and how long one has on the planet.
So why not make all you can while you ARE here?
Just don’t lie, cheat or steal anyone’s labor or ideas in the process of maximizing your earning potential.
Simply pursuing money should NEVER be the object.
Rather doing what gives you joy AND provides and contributes to others, where you CAN BE and while you ARE compensated to the greatest extent, should be.
“See, all that money can’t save you.” Who ever believed that it would?

Believing IS Seeing
Let’s use the ever useful “Half-Empty or Half-Full glass” question. And what most of us have been taught to do: See first, then believe our eyes.
Seeing first, and describing LITERALLY what we actually do observe, we see that the glass is BOTH half-empty AND half-full AT THE SAME TIME. Isn’t that so?
But by CHOOSING to BELIEVE first that the glass is EITHER HALF-EMPTY OR HALF-FULL makes whichever condition we attend to SO. Not that the other condition isn’t so AS WELL, but that it isn’t BELIEVED, so it isn’t SEEN to be so.
Now try this in your life. The next time you’re facing an argument with a loved one, or a colleague, choose what to attend to. Choose what to believe first, and see what you see. Then articulate that or it won’t become REAL.
Remember LANGUAGE creates REALITY.

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.”

Don’t Work On Yourself. Simply Take On Something Bigger.
In my last post I wrote that there is nothing to be done or thought, that we are each “perfect” already and that we had just to allow ourselves to be who we already are.
Here’s an expansion of that. Let’s take on the concept of Mastery. Because while I do believe we each are “perfect” and that we should not work on ourselves, there are areas of our lives that we have yet to Master.
So how can we accomplish that?
By taking on something we do not yet know how to do. Something bigger than us.
Until you or I are willing to take on what we do not yet know how to do will we put ourselves in the opportunity to transform. And it is in the very process of getting it done that we grow .
This does NOT negate our current “perfection”. Nor is the work suggested here to be done on ourselves but rather on the situation at hand. Only by taking on such a “game” that we don’t know yet how to “win” can we develop Mastery . . . of Ourselves!

SUCCESS: Is More Better?
If More Were Better, Every Time You Got More You Would Be Satisfied.
Well, are You?
Success is one of those words and ideas that is hard to define generally since it holds such a personal dimension.
The best one I’ve encountered defines Success as living life the way you most deeply desire to do so. So for many it may have nothing or little to do with how much money or how many possessions one has.
What do You think?

Freeing Yourself From Upsets
I have been quoting from the excellent book What You Think is What You Get by George Lavenia. The following has helped me immeasurably when talking with prospects for my business.
We spend most of our lives trying to control. manipulate, change, or totally avoid what arises in life. We feel as though life is something we have to contend with on a daily basis. This struggle is like being on a roller coaster with endless ups and downs. However, life itself is constant change. If you forget that, you will suffer over the very changes themselves. By holding onto your idea of how things should be, you become the cause of your own suffering. All that is required to free yourself from life’s upsets is to stop judging the experiences that come up for you.
