One thing that is 100% in your control as a network marketer
is the company you choose, but many don't take full
advantage of this fact.
Most network marketers tend to choose the business that
"looks" like it's going to make them the easiest and
quickest money and for many this is a major downfall.
I fell victim to this myself. We tend to go where the buzz in
the industry is and take action on joining a company before
we really think the situation through. We're excited, the
business looks exciting, and in an emotionally heightened
state we jump in.
Or we look for the "person" that's going to make us all the
money. The sponsor with what we think to have the best
credentials.
Making a decision based on either of the above criteria is
natural, but not always in your best interest long term.
We want to go to where the success seems to be, and we think
in jumping on at the launch or finding the guy that knows it
all is going to spell out success in our future.
But is this really where our own personal success resides?
Most don't ask themselves "What type of network marketing
business am I best suited for?" before they get started and
because of this many end up, a few months down the road, not
exactly where they'd like to be.
Why?
Because most don't think about really doing an in depth
study of what network marketing is and what variations
exist and best suit them, and because of this they never
factor these points into their final decision.
I remember when I got started with my first company, I had
purchased a course on network marketing and literally ate
every word the author spoke about the "way" he was doing
business.
So much so that after listening to the course about 30 or so
time I just picked up the phone and called the author and
said "Whatever company you're in I want to be a part of."
He happily obliged and six months later I had lost a bunch
of moolah following my idle.
I didn't realize it then, but now I understand that in order
to succeed in this game you have to see exactly where you
want to be, not so much exactly who is going to get you
there.
But rather the type of company that you most identify with,
the type of marketing system best suited to you, the type of
compensation plan that offers you a level of stability and
reward for your efforts that you are comfortable with.
It takes a certain amount of foundational knowledge about
network marketing to even approach answering these
questions, and most get it through experiencing what they
don't like through a failed first attempt.
This can be avaioded with a little prior research.
It wasn't until I was unhappy with my current situation in
my first company that I actually started doing some real
research on the topic of network marketing and on the topic
of marketing.
Once I knew what I wanted it was much easier to find the
business that fit my ideal.
The first go around I tried to fit my ideal of network
marketing INTO the business I was already trying to run.
I started to see things that I wanted to do in my business
that just weren't possible so I sat there in an
uncomfortable state of trying to figure out how to turn my
current business into the one I really wanted.
It never happened.
What happened was I quit the first business and found the
second business that WAS my ideal.
So if you're not happy with your situation, if you're just
getting started, or you don't feel that you fit your
business take some time to really sit back to study what
network marketing is.
Then find the flavor that fits you and your unique tastes
and you'll find you've put yourself in the RIGHT vehicle for
your success.
To the top,

A Lifetime of Planning Pays Off
"You gotta be crazy!" That's what Lee Dunham's friends told him back in 1971 when he gave up a secure job as a police officer and invested his life savings in the notoriously risky restaurant business. This particular restaurant was more than just risky, it was downright dangerous. It was the first McDonald's franchise in the city of New York - smack in the middle of crime-ridden Harlem.
Lee had always had plans. When other kids were playing ball in the empty lots of Brooklyn, Lee was playing entrepreneur, collecting milk bottles and returning them to grocery stores for the deposits. He had his own shoeshine stand and worked delivering newspapers and groceries. Early on, he promised his mother that one day she would never again have to wash other people's clothes for a living. He was going to start his own business and support her. "Hush your mouth and do your homework," she told him. She knew that no member of the Dunham family had ever risen above the level of laborer, let alone owned a business. "There's no way you're going to open your own business," his mother told him repeatedly.
Years passed, but Lee's penchant for dreaming and planning did not. After high school, he joined the Air Force, where his goal of one day owning a family restaurant began to take shape. He enrolled in the Air Force food service school and became such an accomplished cook he was promoted to the officers' dining hall.
When he left the Air Force, he worked for four years in several restaurants, including one in the famed Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York. Lee longed to start his own restaurant but felt he lacked the business skills to be successful. He signed up for business school and took classes at night while he applied and was hired to be a police officer.
For fifteen years he worked full-time as a police officer. In his off-hours, he worked part-time as a carpenter and continued to attend business school. "I saved every penny I earned as a police officer," he recalled. "For ten years, I didn't spend one dime - there were no movies, no vacations, no trips to the ballpark. There were only work and study and my lifelong dream of owning my own business." By 1971, Lee had saved $42,000, and it was time for him to make his vision a reality.
Lee wanted to open an upscale restaurant in Brooklyn. With a business plan in hand, he set out to seek financing. The banks refused him. Unable to get funding to open an independent restaurant, lee turned to franchising and filled out numerous applications. McDonald's offered him a franchise, with one stipulation: Lee had to set up a McDonald's in the inner-city, the first to be located there. McDonald's wanted to find out if its type of fast-food restaurant could be successful in the inner city. It seemed that Lee might be the right person to operate that first restaurant.
To get the franchise, Lee would have to invest his life savings and borrow $150,000 more. Everything for which he'd worked and sacrificed all those years would be on the line - a very thin line if he believed his friends. Lee spent many sleepless nights before making his decision. In the end, he put his faith in the years of preparation he'd invested - the dreaming, planning, studying and saving - and signed on the dotted line to operate the first inner-city McDonald's in the United States.
The first few months were a disaster. Gang fights, gunfire, and other violent incidents plagued his restaurant and scared customers away. Inside, employees stole his food and cash, and his safe was broken into routinely. To make matters worse, Lee couldn't get any help from McDonald's headquarters; the company's representatives were too afraid to venture into the ghetto. Lee was on his own.
Although he had been robbed of his merchandise, his profits, and his confidence, Lee was not going to be robbed of his dream. Lee fell back on what he had always believed in - preparation and planning.
Lee put together a strategy. First, he sent a strong message to the neighborhood thugs that McDonald's wasn't going to be their turf. To make his ultimatum stick, he needed to offer an alternative to crime and violence. In the eyes of those kids, Lee saw the same look of helplessness he had seen in his own family. He knew that there was hope and opportunity in that neighborhood and he was going to prove it to the kids. He decided to serve more than meals to his community - he would serve solutions.
Lee spoke openly with gang members, challenging them to rebuild their lives. Then he did what some might say was unthinkable: he hired gang members and put them to work. He tightened up his operation and conducted spot checks on cashiers to weed out thieves. Lee improved working conditions and once a week he offered his employees classes in customer service and management. He encouraged them to develop personal and professional goals. He always stressed two things: his restaurant offered a way out of a dead-end life and the faster and more efficiently the employees served the customers, the more lucrative that way would be.
In the community, Lee sponsored athletic teams and scholarships to get kids off the streets and into community centers and schools. The New York inner-city restaurant became McDonald's most profitable franchise worldwide, earning more than $1.5 million a year. Company representatives who wouldn't set foot in Harlem months earlier now flocked to Lee's doors, eager to learn how he did it. To Lee, the answer was simple: "Serve the customers, the employees, and the community."
Today, Lee Dunham owns nine restaurants, employs 435 people, and serves thousands of meals every day. It's been many years since his mother had to take in wash to pay the bills. More importantly, Lee paved the way for thousands of African-American entrepreneurs who are working to make their dreams a reality, helping their communities, and serving up hope.
All this was possible because a little boy understood the need to dream, to plan, and to prepare for the future. In doing so, he changed his life and the lives of others.
"The most important thing in life is to stop saying 'I wish' and start saying 'I will.' Consider nothing impossible, then treat possibilities as probabilities."

Bad Luck Good Luck:
Some individuals contact us stating that they have Bad Luck and haven't been able to recruit a single member; they have done everything correctly but no one shows up. Then comes the comment "Maybe I just have BAD LUCK".
Of course we also here the flip side of this, and are left in amazement when we get a member saying "I've only been in MPM a little over a month, and already have over 200 members signed up." Of course these folks always say "I must have GOOD LUCK".
Both individuals are wrong. Good and Bad events for the most part (80%) of the time occur because of the actions, words, skills and or people we know. Sometimes we are not aware of our actions, and or words, and as such, we sit back and wonder "I must have bad luck".
Instead, always analyze yourself and your presentation. If you spoke to someone in person, did you tell them about MPM with an unsure tone? Or perhaps you spoke to someone that knows you are struggling financially.
Years ago, our American society was such, that when an individual went to an Interview for a job, he or she took time getting cleaned up, they would put on a nice dress or suit, comb their hair and practice the Interview (for a job or a date) in front of the mirror for hours if not days.
When these type of people finally got in front of a (potential date, or an interviewer) there was nothing outwardly negative for the other person to comment on.
Move forward to our current date. We now have movie stars going on talk shows and almost everyone else, dressed as if they were poor. Ripped jeans, tennis shoes, messed up hair, and an off guarded language (lose tongue) .
If you want "Good Luck", then let's first change that phrase to "Good Blessings" - the difference is that blessings are usually given to you when you deserve them.
Next, "clean yourself up" and not just outwardly, but inwardly. The best qualities in a personal and or business life are: Love (for self and others - including your work), Respect, Honesty and Integrity.
OK, I know what you’re saying. "I'm always presentable, I'm always polite, and I've already taken a shower. Still nothing is working, please help".
If that's the case, then remember "No one man or woman is an Island unto themselves." You might not be a good marketer, but someone else is. "Ask and the doors shall be opened unto you". Ask a friend, or a relative or a perfect stranger for their help, or PARTNER with them. Go on forums and look for those proclaiming how good they are.
When you find someone who already has a lot of subscribed members, or someone proclaiming how good they are, then simply ask them for their guidance. DO NOT BE SHY, especially when dealing with people over eMail.
Here's a true and personal story: One of the things that my personal company, not MPM does, is offering financial classes to High School Seniors and to all adults alike. The software we use to analyze stocks and various other commodities costs thousands of dollars every year.
The problem is that we also run an outreach ministry and every dollar we spend on software usually prevents us from some outreach program for children.
I simply wrote an email asking the software company to provide me with a donated copy of their subscription ($5k per year). I honestly didn't expect the letter to have been read, and definitely didn't expect a positive outcome, BUT I ASKED.
Today we run our software year in and year out for free. The CEO of the company gave us a lifetime free membership, with access to all future updates.
If given the chance, good people will step forward. Those that don't step forward are not the people that you would want educating you anyway.
If at all possible "Pray"; Please place someone in my path to enlighten me with my businesses and with my personal life.
We'll see you next time.

The Value of Moral Courage
Courage is a highly admired virtue. Most often we associate the word with physical prowess or bravery. But there's another form of valor that's much more important because it comes up more often. It's called moral courage - the willingness to face not physical danger but emotional pain, disapproval, financial insecurity, or uncertainty rather than compromise an ethical principle.
Moral courage is essential not only for a virtuous life, but a happy one. Without courage, we have no control over our lives. Our fears corrode our spirit and confine us like a barbed wire fence. That's why they say a coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man but one.
Integrity is essential to self-esteem and the admiration of others. It requires us to put our comforts, possessions, friendships, and even jobs at risk in the defense of deeply held principles.
It takes moral fortitude to be honest at the risk of ridicule, rejection, or retaliation or when doing so may jeopardize our income or career. It takes boldness to be accountable and own up to mistakes when doing so may get us in trouble. It takes backbone to stand tough with our kids when doing so may cost us their affection.
Mark Twain said, "Courage is not the absence of fear but the resistance of fear, the mastery of fear." To paraphrase President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the enemy is not what we fear; it is fear itself. If our insecurities and anxieties cause us to lose confidence in the power of virtue, we will lose something very precious.
People with moral courage rarely get medals, but it is the best marker of true character and a virtue others can be proud of.

READ THIS..... LET IT REALLY SINK IN - THEN CHOOSE
My Friend John is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always
in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone
would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I
would be twins!"
He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day,
John was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of
the situation.
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up
and asked him, "I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of
the time. How do you do it?"
He replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have
two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or ... you can
choose to be in a bad mood , I choose to be in a good mood."
Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim
or...I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.
Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to
Accept their complaining or... I can point out the positive side of
life. I
Choose the positive side of life.
"Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested.
"Yes, it is," he said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut
away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react
to
situations.
You choose how people affect your mood.
You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line:
It's your choice how you live your life."
I reflected on what he said. Soon hereafter, I left the Tower
Industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought
about
Him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.
Several years later, I heard that he was involved in a serious
accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower.
After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, he was
released from the hospital with rods placed in his back.
I saw him about six months after the accident.
When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better,
I'd be twins....Wanna see my scars?"
I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone
through his mind as the accident took place.
"The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of
my soon-to-be born daughter," he replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground,
I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live
or...I could choose to die. I chose to live."
"Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked
He continued, "..the paramedics were great.
They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they
Wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the
doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read 'he's a
dead man'. I knew I needed to take action." "What did you do?" I asked.
"Well, there was a nurse shouting questions at me,"
"She asked if I was allergic to anything...... 'Yes, I replied.' The
doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took
a deep breath and yelled, 'Gravity'"!!!!!
Over their laughter, I told them, "I am choosing to live.
Operate
on me as if I am alive, not dead."
He lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because
of
his amazing attitude... I learned from him that every day we have the
choice to live fully.
Attitude, after all, is everything..... Therefore do not worry
about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34.
After all today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.
You know the choice I made.
The choices I make today will determine the rest of my life!
in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone
would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I
would be twins!"
He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day,
John was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of
the situation.
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up
and asked him, "I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of
the time. How do you do it?"
He replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have
two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or ... you can
choose to be in a bad mood , I choose to be in a good mood."
Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim
or...I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.
Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to
Accept their complaining or... I can point out the positive side of
life. I
Choose the positive side of life.
"Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested.
"Yes, it is," he said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut
away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react
to
situations.
You choose how people affect your mood.
You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line:
It's your choice how you live your life."
I reflected on what he said. Soon hereafter, I left the Tower
Industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought
about
Him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.
Several years later, I heard that he was involved in a serious
accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower.
After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, he was
released from the hospital with rods placed in his back.
I saw him about six months after the accident.
When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better,
I'd be twins....Wanna see my scars?"
I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone
through his mind as the accident took place.
"The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of
my soon-to-be born daughter," he replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground,
I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live
or...I could choose to die. I chose to live."
"Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked
He continued, "..the paramedics were great.
They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they
Wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the
doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read 'he's a
dead man'. I knew I needed to take action." "What did you do?" I asked.
"Well, there was a nurse shouting questions at me,"
"She asked if I was allergic to anything...... 'Yes, I replied.' The
doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took
a deep breath and yelled, 'Gravity'"!!!!!
Over their laughter, I told them, "I am choosing to live.
Operate
on me as if I am alive, not dead."
He lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because
of
his amazing attitude... I learned from him that every day we have the
choice to live fully.
Attitude, after all, is everything..... Therefore do not worry
about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34.
After all today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.
You know the choice I made.
The choices I make today will determine the rest of my life!

Here's How You Know You're On The Right Track . . .
Amazing to me that in just a few short years a person can
earn more in a month than they can in a year building
someone else's dream.
I wouldn't personally believe it if it wasn't the true
reality of my life, and now more than ever from just
retracing my own personal steps I know it takes nothing more
than a personal dream and the bull headedness to keep at
until it's the life you live.
It's a strange feeling when you wake up and have no one to
answer to but yourself, your family, and the life purpose
you serve.
Strange, but from the bottom of my heart it's the best
feeling in the world, and I hope with every intention in my
body that you one day too wake up that one fateful morning
not too long off and feel the same thing.
Here is how you know you're on the right path.
It's the smaller things that happen as you ascend the
mountain to your personal version of freedom and
independence that mean to most.
All positive, but to some eyes, may not seem so.
Today I got an email from a new member of my team that
decided to bow out.
Not a bummer, but a true pillar and example of walking the
right path because I didn't ask for the email.
This great man decided to let me know he was bowing out
because of circumstances in his life.
I respect him greatly for his email and understand his
decision.
He took it upon himself to let me know why - a lesser man
would have simply vanished.
His decision to write me shows me the great respect that we
share for each other.
Above all else I know that if I continue to build a team of
people with like minded individual regardless of what
happens the RIGHT things are being done and the RIGHT result
will find a way to manifest.
It's not just bringing people in - it's bringing them in and
giving them the tools, mindset, and confidence to forge
ahead.
I know from the tone and message of his email he gained this
from our time together.
Another occurrence today that showed me I'm on the right path
was that I checked my name in Google and noticed that there
were a few people trying their darndest to slander me.
A few I had worked with in the past and done so profitable
from their perspective, yet they chose to attack me.
Ohh well . . .
I personally don't understand the attempt to strike fear in
man's heart through PPC, but to each his own right?
Great!
From my perspective, anytime a person takes time out of
there day to do such a thing they both fear something about
you and what you do and have no other recourse.
I wish them best of luck, but to me it shows me I'm doing
something right.
I've earned a place in these marketers mind enough for them
to take real physical action.
For what intent I don't know, but they took notice and this
shows me I must be doing something right.
In another persons mind both of these daily occurrences
could be viewed negatively, but to me and to you it means
we're on the right track.
Bring it on baby!
The lesson is this . . .
It's not going to be all rosy all the time. THEY will try to
bring you down, but thank them for strengthening your
resolve and forge ahead.
Do the best you can for as many as you can and take note of
little things that show you you're on the right track.
To the top,
Rex
P.S. What if you could literally recruit people and share
your vision of a better future without having to face the
rejection of those not on your wavelength? What if you could
only grow your business with the RIGHT people? How much
time, energy, effort, money and frustration would you save
by growing your MLM business the fast, cheaper, easier, more
profitable way? Do the math and when you're ready go here
now for your personal blueprint to internet network
