Gratitude

From the Secret Scrolls:

To understand the power and the magic of gratitude, you have to experience it for yourself. So why not begin by deciding to find 100 things a day to be grateful for?

If you practice gratitude every day it won't take long before gratitude is your natural state of being, and when that happens you will have unlocked one of the greatest secrets to life.

Pure gratitude and appreciation has no fear...

This is so true. Pure gratitude and appreciation has no fear. The attached is from Rhonda Byrne author of The Secret.

From The Secret Daily Teachings:

There is a difference between feeling gratitude and appreciation for something, and feeling attachment to something. Appreciation and gratitude are states of pure love, while attachment contains fear - fear of losing or not having what you are attached to. When it comes to something you want in your life, appreciation and gratitude attracts, and attachment pushes away. If you are feeling afraid that you will not get what you want, or losing what you have, then you have attachment.

To remove the attachment, keep shifting yourself into a state of appreciation and gratitude, until you can feel that the fear has gone.

May the joy be with you,

Rhonda Byrne - The Secret

Change your thoughts, change your world.

CONSISTENCY by Elizabeth Weber

 

The problem in this business, as in life, is that if you fail to practice and apply the basic fundamentals you will find yourself way off course. The danger is that at first you don’t really notice you’re off course because it’s just by a little bit. And, then you stray just a bit more without much notice, and then some more. Before you know it, you’re off course by a mile, even though you got there gradually, an inch at a time.

There are lots of things that will help or hurt your business but there’s one thing that will kill your business, faster than an eighteen-wheeler will make road pizza out of a squirrel. It’s very seductive and can creep in subtly. Take regular inventory of it so every time it raises its ugly head you stomp it out immediately! It’s falling into the trap of…NOT being consistently consistent.

You got excited, put in an intense week in the business. You went all out. Actually sponsored a new business partner, or two, sold some product and got yourself some results. Then it creeps in. Next week you don’t hit it as hard. Layoff it, kick back…after all you worked hard last week and the whole reason you got into this business was to buy back your time. MISTAKE! Once you get the ball rolling…keep it rolling…don’t ease off!!!! It’s all about getting your business in MOMENTUM.

This business is built on the concept of compound interest. You know, the old example, how much money would you have if you doubled a penny every day for thirty days? Multiply it out on paper and you’ll discover it’s over FIVE MILLION dollars. But look at each day individually…on the 10th day it’s only worth $5.12 and it doesn’t even break the thousand-dollar barrier until the 18th day. So it’s hard to believe that by day 30 that penny has grown into millions.

But that’s the magic of compound interest…it feeds on itself! But it takes time for the compounding to take effect. If you spent your thousand bucks on the day 18 instead of keeping it working for you, you’d never reach the 5 million dollar payday. And you’d have to start all over again from zero with a new penny and another 30 days.

This business works the same way. The time you put into it feeds on itself. If you put in 20 hours one week, 2 the next and nothing the week after that but “make up for it” by giving it some extra time the following week, your results will be weak. Even though you may have averaged 10 hours a week, you’re not giving the compounding a chance to take hold. Not giving your business consistent time every week is the exact same thing as spending the thousand bucks on day 18! You’ll always be starting all over again.

Are you willing to pay the price? There’s no getting around paying your dues. This business really can provide you with money and time freedom for the rest of your life, but it’s not free and it won’t happen in your first month or even your first year. It takes being consistently consistent for 2 to 3 years!! How do you become consistent? It is called “DISCIPLINE”. If you want to build a business...a healthier body...a better relationship...a better life. It takes discipline first...Consistency second.

Every single week be consistent. Make your calls, book your appointments and add leads to your "lead-names list". You must work 12 productive hours a week…productive hours is the key. That means you plan your business.  Don’t start your week (or your day for that matter) before you finish it on paper first!  Share the product…Share the business...Share the portal...that’s it folks.

Who are you going to prospect?  What presentations are you going to give?  What product will you sell?  Who will shop on your portal? Who are you going to duplicate yourself into this week? Write it down, make time for it, and follow through on it…10-15  hours a week, each and every week, for 3 years. That’s the price you have to pay for a six figure residual income for the rest of your life!

Go out and make it happen...You can do it!! 

Love,

Elizabeth
