How a Dream Home Business can be destroyed by ANTS and a viral anti-spray that helps

How A Dream Home Business Destroyed by ANTS (Automatic Negative Thinking Statements)
..and how a viral anti-spray can help


A definite strategy to help people focus on their goals is to visualize having achieved success already. It works for sports stars, motivational speakers, Olympic athletes, entertainers, movie producers and more. It should also work for people looking to start a profitable home business.

Visualize now that you have achieved your goals for an awesome network marketing home business. You are using a healthy wholefood product for your family as the basis for your commissions. You are following a simple 3 steps plan to share with others and continue building more income by sharing information. Every week you receive a growing residual check and your bank account is starting to look a lot greener, too. Your credit card debt is diminishing. You are starting to plan for a few extra things for your family..like taking a nice vacation or maybe buying a new car. You are saving business related receipts for major tax savings at the end of the year.



Best of all, you sleep better and worry less about a shifting economy because you’re building your own personal economy step by simple step.

Actually visualize this dream as much on a physical scale as you can... Close your eyes and actually see the big house with less mortgage and a nice new car in front, and maybe a flower garden..a beautiful sunset..

Now visualize this. This brand new home business dream is being attacked by little bits of automatic negative thinking statements…


Each little statement gnaws a little hole and creates a little dust. At the end, there is only a large pile of dust where once stood a magnificent dream of great potential and finacial stability.

Do you have these ANTS attacking your dream home business…

..costs too much...$40 is too much to start a bona fide home business
..daily schedule won’t fit ...an hour to preview business model
..too much information at one time...reduce to one primer
..can’t track goals...too many variables..what about setting just 2 goals
..motivation is to find an hourly job...work once get paid once
..just don’t understand residual income...self-education is priceless
..not sure I want to spend months training for efficiency...do the basics in one hour
..unclear marketing plan..not sure what I need to so…cut it 2 three steps
..monetary goals are too high...inch by inch everything’s a cinch
..will wait for a better time...dreams don't have to wait a lifetime
..my partner doesn’t accept this...educate your partner..take 1 hour
..too many bells and whistles...just use one primer
..not a good communicator...can you email a powerful conference call
..not a good speaker...can you read a one page summary
..not sure whether this is sales…educate first..value is inherent
..afraid of psychologically trying something new…money back gurantee
..not sure how this works to explain...you are just the messenger..use professional information tools to tell the story for you
..not sure whether my personal motivation is sustainable…success will create your excitement
..not sure my friends and/or family will understand...some will/ some won’t/ it’s their loss / move on
..not sure it has worked for others...applied non-democratic marketing plan
..not sure how to balance family life with new project...how much quality time are you spending now
..not sure I need extra money now..got a good job or in training..that’s great news but where do you want to ne in 3 to 5 years.
..not sure about price range and profits...check out 6 month cash flow projection
..not sure I’ll be supported when I need help…business is built on co-operation and being as self-franchised as possible
..not sure I can be successful..time to reset your mindset based on simple practical steps..our success is vested in your success
..not sure I can handle high-tech training...it is still a relationship building home business..show you care first
..not sure I know enough people…the world is your backyard
..not sure I can emulate a top earner...this is a home business model based on every day people duplicating each othernot duplicating a top eaner



As you know, I speak with many home business opportunity seekers and these are some of the actual ANTS I have had to stomp on. It is always so sad when these sad little excuses end up controlling an extraordinary program and dream. So many don’t even read the free report about the Simplest Home Business in the World…at least dip your toes in the cool waters of network marketing principles. Some miss basic lessons in defining network marketing, comparing plans and how to set up a straight-line home business (Home Business 101)


The bottom line for a successful home business is best summarized by a viral Einstein-like formula


PROFITS =leveraged message + democratic plan x duplication
P = LM + DP x

1. LEVERAGED MESSAGE…use professional information tools to work on your behalf 24/7 beyond physical limitations of how much time you have and where you are
2. DEMOCRATIC PLAN…network marketing is based on the founding principle that average people with above average dreams can start a low-cost, part-time home business and can earn potential high profits based on the principle of duplication I CAN DO This..YOU CAN DO THIS
3. DUPLICATION...the key to high profits in network marketing is the duplication of a simple marketing system. The key to success in this simple marketing system is a short, comprehensive curriculum guide to how this industry works. It is simple-to-follow, low-cost, generic, standardizes content to handle questions and objections, and time efficient and practical for everyone to use.
NO MORE ANTS IN MY LIFE AND IN MY DREAM!
How about you?
Share some of your dreams and will show you how to keep ants away!

How a Home Business Viral Formula can Help You Get Older and Better

How a Home Business Viral Formula Can Help You Get Older and Better.

We all get older. No one would argue with that. But how many people actually do something every day that brings them comfort and relevance? How many people can live out a lifetime with memories left over to last several more lifetimes with family and friends.

I attended my cousin’s funeral this morning. She lived 82 years, married to her husband for 61 years, raised 3 children and was loved by a score of grand children and great grandchildren. She was a Mom, mother, homemaker and gardener in the same home all her married life, and a favorite place for her family to visit. And it was her grandchildren who gave the eulogy and poems of remembrances.

A good simple life fulfilled by what was important to her. Can we also say we are doing the things that are important to our legacy?

I’m sure there are many people who would love to spend more time at home especially as the children are growing up..for their memories are woven from together times and appreciation.

A part-time home business can be the answer for more time freedom and a sense of satisfaction of making a home, sharing events and special occasions.

A recent survey showed 65% of people said they would be interested in a home business, part-time or full-time. Only 5% indicated an interest in more information about a network marketing home business.

There is a major disconnect here because a network marketing home business is the only opportunity where people can start a home business with minimal capital and make a potential high profit by making a difference.

We know the foundation of network marketing works because of the great number of many different people who are successful. After all, there are only three basic principles that make it work so, theoretically, the business model shouldn’t be that hard to master.

The problem for this disconnect is twofold:

  • lack of public education and acknowledgement of how this simple home business works
  • complex marketing systems that the majority of people do not have the time to learn for success

Let’s address both problems by providing a simple educational primer and a simple marketing formula that everybody can do.

Let’s give everyone the same handbook..the same playing field…the same objectives..the same changes for success..


P = LM + DP x D


PROFITS = residual income based on working once and getting paid multiple times

LEVERAGED MESSAGE…professional information tools to work on your behalf 24/7 beyond physical limitations of how much time you have and where you are

DEMOCRATIC PLAN…keep marketing plan to 3 factors to minimize learning curve, easier to understand and share

DUPLICATE… marketing plan is shared by masses of people looking for extra income from home. They key to success in this simple marketing system is a short, comprehensive curriculum guide to how this industry works. It is simple-to-follow, low-cost, generic, standardizes content to handle questions and objections, and time efficient and practical for everyone to use.


YOUR BIG QUESTION...What if, a simple formula can start a successful home business for you. What if you had extra money and extra time and a sense of satisfaction to follow your dreams.
What if you could write your own eulogy in time. What would you like to say?

Your questions, comments and experiences are always appeciated.

Home Business..compare TWO marketing formulas in network marketing: to attract or to duplicate

Home business: compare two marketing formulas: to attract or to duplicate ..Part 2

Our lesson today is to compare two different marketing plans for the network marketing home business. It is based on one of my favorite classroom lessons called COMPARE and CONTRAST using a comprehension frame called a Venn Diagram.


If you have a pencil or pen, you can draw two large circles, making sure they overlap in the middle. There are now 3 subsets created for network marketing home business plans…

PART A will be for details that are different for an attraction marketing plan

PART B will be for details that are different for a democratic marketing plan

PART C is the intersection with words that are common to both marketing plans

To start, let's introduce the formulas first and then describe them more fully.

The formula for PLAN A ... attraction marketing plan


PROFITS = internet marketing + branding + advertising + mailing lists + sales

P= IM + B + A + ML+ S


The formula for PLAN B ... democratic marketing plan

PROFITS =leveraged message + democratic plan x duplication

P = LM + DP x D


PART A:
Let's take a closer look at how the ATTRACTION MARKETING FORMULA works. The best way to visualize it is as a multi-layer marketing funnel. The theory is that the more hoops people jump through, the more qualified they become to buy from you..
Here is how to make profits.. .

1. Internet marketing..nothing happens until more people see your website.
  • best traffic stream is the power of social media to build relationships with people.. It is considered free but has anyone ever counted the hours it takes to socialize and prove your expertise to someone else trying to prove they know more? What a merry-go-round!
  • other options are to use search engines, pay- per- cick ad campaigns,surf exchanges and othe traffic generation methods


2. Branding...become an expert (YOU INCORPORATED)

  • set yourself apart as an compelling expert so others will want to do business under your leadership. This "magnetic " self- branding will take many stages.
  • begin building your expertise by writing articles, blog posts, videos, emails, etc.
  • advance to guest speaking at webinars, write ebooks and even coaching home study courses. Once you’re a master guru you can conduct full blown in-person seminars and joint venture with other gurus
  • gradually progress to create more advanced content to become more of a leader so you can build the biggest lists, control the traffic and maximize leads

3. Advertising..motivate people to buy your product by closing the sale. Advertising media on is a multi-step process with many OK’s to agree to go to next step

  • best way is to become a master at writing good copy
  • prepare ads that people want to read
  • learn motivational subject lines to open your emails
  • click on the links in your emails
  • read your articles or blog posts
  • watch your videos (and continue watching them)
  • ultimately buy your product


4. Mailing Lists...finding and continually building your list of prospects is a science

  • WHERE TO GET THEM..glowing referral from another marketer … pay-per-click … facebook account … purchased opportunity leads…traffic exchanges...safe mailing list
  • WHAT KIND of prospects…regular followers of your opt-in messages (single or double), splash page or squeeze page information
  • WHY DO THEY FOLLOW YOU..give them extra value..follow-up consistently...build a list first, then a downline

5. Sales is simple if you offer products that relate to your prospects needs

  • plug into affiliate programs and help market their products
  • develop your own products
    (must work because the promoters of this program made 1.3 million dollars in 3 days)


PART B
Let’s take a look at how a DEMOCRATIC MARKETING FORMULA works.
The best way to visualize it is as a straight line going from where you are to where you want to be. The theory is that the more material you produce, the longer the process, the more objections, the less duplication, and less profits.

1. LEVERAGED MESSAGE

  • leverage is the most important word in building a business asset
  • professional information tools to work on your behalf 24/7 beyond physical limitations of how much time you have and where you are


2. DEMOCRATIC PLAN

  • network marketing is based on the founding principle that average people with above average dreams can start a low-cost, part-time home business
  • potential to earn high residual profits are based on the principle of duplication.. I CAN DO THIS... YOU CAN DO... EVERYBODY CAN DO THIS


3. DUPLICATION

  • key to high profits in network marketing is the massive duplication of a simple marketing system..not selling so many bottles or boxes of products
  • key to success in this simple marketing system is a short, comprehensive curriculum guide that explains how this unique business concept works.
  • key is ONE PROFESSIONAL TOOL that is simple-to-follow, low-cost, generic, standardizes content to handle questions and objections, built-in training, time efficient (one hour) and practical for everyone to use.



How fair and democratic is this. Who can realistically say..I CAN NOT DO THIS!


PART C

What are the common words to both Attraction Marketing and Democratic Marketing?

simple to pick out: network marketing, home business, people, success, profits,

IN CONCLUSION…Get the basic facts about how this unique home-based industry works best and make an informed choice to follow:

Formula A: P= IM + B + A + ML + S


Formula B: P = LM + DP x D



It is the words that are different that will make or break your success in this great home business…It is the formula that will make a long, hard and expensive journey or an simple affirmation we all deserve more on an equal playing field.

Your questions, comments are always welcome. An educational debate is always healthy.

Why you need a fair democratic home business based on network marketing

Why you need a fair democratic home business based on network marketing?

It’s a sign of the times that there are a lot of people looking at building their own personal economy with a profitable home business. The majority cast their eyes toward a potential network marketing business for a host of benefits based on the founding principle that every person with above-average dreams can start a home business with minimal capital and earn residual income.

It is a home business based on leverage and duplication at the grassroots level.

So how can we bring a fair DEMOCRATIC MARKETING PLAN to every person who wants an honest, ethical, healthy, successful home business.

First, given choices in a democratic society, most people are well qualified to make a profitable home business work if they could. Don’t you agree that most of us deserve this opportunity:

...interested and motivated to reach more income goals
…may be tired of working to making other people rich
…would like to spend more time with family and friends
…can learn how-to put in less effort for more returns
…are interested in how others achieve true success and are ready to change

The $64,000 question is what kind of home business can cater to the masses that can level an equal playing field one for all and all for one?

There is such a home business based on a network marketing model, but in my opinion it has lost serious groundwork in its basic principles and needs to return to its roots. It has naturally evolved into more of an institution with hierarchies. The good news is a few simple steps can reinforce the main groundwork of this business as the last free enterprise system where it doesn’t matter your age, sex, race, religion, background, education, resources, or contacts in order to achieve success.

Your qualifications are found in the previous paragraph and these should never be limited to a handful of elite marketers with unlimited resources or privileged associations. It is not about rising to the status of leadership in order to be rewarded. This is different from a political arena where a leader is elected and compensated accordingly.

This is my life, your life, and we’re happy being “grassroots”, the salt of the earth. But, equally, we also deserve the democratic right to have a successful home business if we so choose. We are competent communicators and hopeful visionaries of something better. We just need a plan for an equitable program that everyone can do.

Here are FIVE important components to make a democratic marketing plan work:

  • levels the playing field so every person who wants a home business in tough economic times can get a fair education and a running start ...fast to learn and apply…advance from beginner to mastery levels with standardized training and marketing plans that everyone can copy...as this system duplicates so will your profits
  • low capital to start ($40 monthly product purchase qualifies you for commissions)..fits into any budget. No inventory to load up. Want a unique, no competititon product. Build great partnerships and freedom as core values..potential to earn 5 or 6 digit or more annual income paid weekly and monthly, matching bonuses
  • transform few hours a week into excellent cash flow. You don’t want to work twice as hard…you want to use basic leverage with information tools to expand your time and knowledge beyond 40 hours a week without actually being there...
  • reduce natural learning curve to basic three steps you can start right now to integrate with your current expertise …who wants to spend months learning a lot of moving business part . Everyone learns at their own rate and its not up to you to teach the system. A comprehensive generic curriculum guide is mandatory.
  • deserve substantial tax savings (Note: many people pay for their home business costs from tax savings alone..one accountant actually said you need to be "brain dead" not to have a home business. Why aren’t you collecting your share of tax refunds.


"Never before in history, has a business opportunity held the potential to have such an incredible positive impact on the lives of its customers..."(Paul Zane Pilzer)


TWO UNDEMOCRATIC THINGS THAT WILL NOT WORK in this kind of home business:

  • excessive, overload of materials...they can be very expensive, monetized by gurus and utterly time consuming that noone else will do. AVOID volumes of material which are too complicated to explain, especially for beginners, and produce too many objections rising from information overload
  • confusing, multi-step outline of marketing plan of what you need to do to make profits. Make it simple...a one-page overview... Who will help me? What do I have to do? What do I have to invest and what can I make?
    Run away from any business venture that does not have a clear marketing plan in plain language and overview with which you are comfortable.

Finally, in summary, it is a sign of the times, that the one and only network marketing home business based on three important marketing concepts, should now to be reclaimed by all families who want something better and more future security.

Your questions and comments are always appreciated. What kind of home business would work for you?

How to Apply ZEN to your Home Business..even if you don't ride a motorcycle

How to apply ZEN to your HOME BUSINESS even if you don’t ride a motorcycle

First, what is the meaning of ZEN…it’s a Japanese word based on ancient Chinese and Buddhist teachings where enlightedment can be attained through medidation and being in the moment NOW rather than contemplating past and future experiences. For the best definition, read the description at the end.

The famous book "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" describes this interesting scenario.

Your motorcycle breaks down. In order to fix it, you need to open a little compartment in the engine. The compartment is held shut by a screw whose threads have been stripped off. You are unable to open it because of this so called insignificant little 10 cent screw.

"Normally screws are so cheap and small and simple you think of them as unimportant. But now, as your Quality awareness becomes stronger, you realize that this one, individual, particular screw is neither cheap nor small nor unimportant.”

"Right now this screw is worth exactly the selling price of the whole motorcycle, because the motorcycle is actually valueless until you can extract and replace the 10-cent screw…”
This seemingly insignificant ten cent apparatus has suddenly become very important in the total worth of your motorcycle or your home business. So you better be willing to learn more about it.

So if Zen philosophy can apply to a complex motorcycle, how can you apply it to a profitable home business. There are a number of ways:

  • Home business is a complex entity in its own right with several moving parts: products, customers, sales,costs, profits, advertising, accounts, service, time, ..just to name a handful. It is no wonder that so many home business entrepreneurs plug into large successful companies and help as their marketing arm. After all, why would you want to build a motorcycle from scratch when you can join a famous company and help promote their branded motorcycles?
  • Sales and marketing are the fuel that runs any business..like oil and gas run a motorcycle. No sales..no gas..no go. In fact, they may be considered the most hazardous parts.
    Once you fill up, you start a sequential process that can last for days or months. Everything that happens between the introduction and the sale is 100% important. Anything that interrupts this process can be fatal to your business or on the road.
  • Marketing tools may be compared to the screws that hold the various compartments together. They are typically the highest leverage activity in any business. Nothing happens until somebody sells something. In our special home business, they need to be as inexpensive and pratical as screws They are worthy of your devotion and dedication to use them correctly.
  • Do due diligence in your education and investment in how to master motorcycle roadmanship and / or home business. Be`wary of distractions who may try to stop your mastery. Go wherever you need to go, buy whatever you must buy, seek advice from whomever can provide it, until you achieve this mastery. Remember even a simple program can open the doors to a home business worth tens of thousands of dollars.
  • Be aware that sometimes "seemingly minor" aspects of marketing and sales are like that stripped 10-cent motorcycle screw: There can be one obstacle, one niggling thing that's driving you around the bend and standing in the way of a big breakthrough. In this special network marketing home business based on duplication of a simple business plan, this is a basic curriculum guide that democratic masses can use. Will you allow a $20 bill to stop your education and potential for an amzing journey?
  • Last, it is about the dream. Always remember, that people don’t buy a motorcycle because of all the features and benefits and salesmanship ..these are bits and pieces of the total picture. But the real reason to ride a motorcycle is to take the road, away from a cooped-up office, daily routines..to smell the leather, feel the wind in your hair as you sail through a town of onlookers..the new horizons..the adventure, the new sense of freedom.
    The real reason people believe in a network marketing home business is the freedom, financial independence and hope it gives when you get to the top of the mountain.
    .
    Whatever, you do, don’t stay ignorant. If you've never had a close look at the network marketing home business, check out these generic, educational videos.

Your questions and opinions are important. What "small things" mean a world of difference to you?

What is the Meaning of Zen by Rafael Espericueta

The word Zen has become part of the English language, but what exactly does it mean?

It’s much easier to answer the question “When is Zen?”, for that answer would have to be “Now!”. The whole point of Zen practice is to become fully aware, here and now. To come home to the present moment; this is truly where we live.

Thinking verbally takes us far into the past, or into the distant future. But both past and future are fantasies, since the future isn’t known and our memories of the past are often quite distorted accounts of what really happened. Zen exhorts one to “Come to your senses!”, for when we get lost in thoughts of the past or future, life passes us by.

When one mindfully dwells in the present moment, one completely dissolves into whatever activity manifests. One becomes the activity. Most people have had peak experiences, which all involve being so totally involved with life that one’s sense of separateness dissolves into the experience. Very Zen.

Cognitive scientists tell us that it takes about a third of a second for our brains to start thinking about a sensory experience (meaning verbally interpreting it). A third of a second is a vast chasm separating one from “right now”. A Zen master once proclaimed:
Lightening flashes, sparks fly!In one blink of the eye, you have missed seeing.

Living fully and authentically in the present moment makes each instant of one’s life a peak experience. Each moment is filled with a profound peace and clarity. Each moment is perceived to have infinite depth and significance, charged with magic and mystery, infinitely precious. Zen brings us face to face with our true original nature, undefiled by cultural conditioning and painful neurotic tendencies.

Words and concepts can be useful, but mistaking them for reality is a big mistake. Concepts about reality are not reality. The menu is not the food. Dissolving all ones preconceptions, beliefs, concepts, and judgments about ourselves and the universe, can be a very liberating experience. What a relief to let go of all that baggage! (Most or all of it is not true anyway.)
Simplicity is often associated with Zen. And Zen practice is indeed simple, if not easy. Just practice being fully present, right here, right now. Perceive directly, without filtering perceptions through beliefs and preconceptions. Dissolve into the eternal now, and realize that the Universe itself peers out through your eyes, hears through your ears, and breaths each breath. Unity beyond all conception. If not now, then when?

What works best for a network marketing home business...special builder or simple blueprint

What works best for a network marketing home business..a special magnetic builder or simple democratic blueprint?

Nothing else comes close to the potential of a network marketing home business for all the right reasons...leverage professional expertise, duplication, residual income cashflow, success, retirement security, lifetime independence. Once a networker always a networker because we don’t easily accept the status quo and dream of possibilities for our children and grandchildren.


I am still reaching for my dream aspirations but there is nothing finer than to sit and talk about potential and prosperity and what I can do_______ with time and money freedom. Sure beats complaining and worrying about economic circumstances that are beyond our control.

So it bothers me to see this industry over the years develop a dominant hierarchy as all institutions tend to do. A bit of calcification and "barnaclization" has set into this ship of state build on simple routines. And now it is the upper crust, the captains, if you wish, that are setting the standards for success based on their experiences, partnerships, resources and their money to buy massive advertising.

No wonder public perception keeps a wary eye on a home business model where only 3 to 5% are as successful as they wish. Would you start a home business with those odds..I hope not.

Another statistic is that 85% of successful networkers are former small business owners who are well experienced with standard business principles of marketing and communication which they can now transfer into a multiple-level arena and make multiple profits all the way to the bank.

Along with well-honed business skills, they can probably be described as having magnetic profiles capable of drawing others into their sphere of influence. Some “gurus” actually use the term “biological components” and label successful people as Demonstrators of Higher Value or DOVH’s.

Other regular people are termed as Demonstrators of Lower Value or DOLV’s. Can you believe this terminology is really happening and continues to appeal to those “alpha’ recruiters?

I don’t know about you but this definitely smacks of some kind of discrimination or inequality in an enterprise built on the foundation of democracy and freedom.

So here are some tips for DOVH’S to build and duplicate their home business. It is called “passing the test” and seems like a lot of physical components to bring the structure together.. (Susan Boyle need not apply)
  • be fit and healthy..shows more self-respect
  • be a good dresser..no fashion sense conveys a lack of social intelligence
  • be confident..self-controlled able to maintain and stare down eye contact
  • be cheerful with a ready smile and sense of humor..no negative vibes
  • be aware of natural attention or validation by others as a leader..stay unaffected ..
  • be the first to lead interactions and conversations…speak with volume and confidence

Now here are two real issues…

First, for too long now these human dynamics by top leadership rulers in this industry have kept the majority of people eating humble pie believing they need to be super models. In order to achieve, they are offered whole mentorship programs, modules, training seminars and more out-of-pocket expenses. Not only does the average networker suffer trying to meet unrealistic expectations but we can’t sponsor others to do this leadership attraction model.


Second, the network marketing home business is the only true democratic home business where equality of opportunity is based on a simple marketing plan. It is duplicating a simple business system, a one page blueprint, that makes 97% of networkers able to do and believe in.

And, for goodness sakes, it doesn’t matter your condition (or objection), irrespective of race, gender, age, size or shape, education, training, status, poor or rich, white color, blue collar, executive, student, or teacher.

Everyone has equality of opportunity because everyone can share a simple blueprint for business duplication.


This is the real founding principle of the great grassroots industry.

How simple can it be?

A Home Based Business Can Be Like High School..HOW NOT TO FAIL.

A Home Based Business can be just like high school..how not to fail!

Remember your high school days. Would you live through them again, as a fresh-faced fifteen year old again? Personally I would say “ No Thanks” UNLESS I could bring the accumulated wisdom of 50 years as intellectual reinforcement.

I was thinking about the teaching/learning process and it struck me that creating a home business resembles high school in many ways…its ups and downs, insecurities, efforts, recognition, trials and tribulations, and the final goal of graduation.

Think back for a moment...You pass from elementary grades to enter high school ... with high anticipation and some trepidation. You think somehow just being there is going to change your life in so many positive ways. Then a few weeks into the routine, you realize it's just harder work, less help and a bunch of “upper classmen” who try to make the experience more difficult for you. You start to doubt that perhaps your previous skills aren’t strong enough to compare with so many other students. Others make better grades and more recognition while you get by with basic standards even with concentrated effort. You find all kinds of cliques or groups of like-minded people who huddle close together, leaving everyone else out in the cold. Peer pressure determines your social and self-perception levels.

Does this ring a bell?

I know people who have started a home business with great hopes and promises of wealth and success in their heads. “Make a million in your pajamas... Sleep all day and earn thousands... Quit your day job and get rich!” Some make it look easy but there are reasons that are not available to the average person. Does this ring a bell?

Entering high school is like starting a new home business.
At the start, our primary and intermediate schoolings provides us with good basic and people skills.
At the end, the triumph of graduation or a profitable home business can set new goals to make more income and more success.

But what happens in the first few months of starting can also determine potential for graduation and success. If the basic foundational skills are missing, then graduation is difficult or impossible.

Could this be the reason why the network marketing home business, with such amazing proven potential, has a failure rate of over 95%!

It should be the other way around where 95% should succeed!

For a teacher, this is inexcusable. It’s not the students who fail...it is the teacher or the methodology that fails. No curriculum starts at graduate levels with limited understanding, outside of hype and promises, and expects mastery. No student is expected to be a “magnetic” teacher in their own right to “lead” other inexperienced followers to victory.

It is time to smarten up this home based industry and give people a fair opportunity for success with proper teaching fundamentals.

Here's a beginning curriculum:

1. Start with a primer…basic vocabulary, concepts, comparisons, summary

2. Learn intermediate strategies…examples
…compare two kinds of home businesses
…old school marketing versus new school marketing
…self-improvement exercise for self-motivation, power of actions to control emotions,
practice makes perfect, long term mindset, relationship marketing, etc.

3. Now you’re ready to enter high school and graduate with honors and realize your dreams.

However, it is still not your obligation to teach others…let the professionals do that on your behalf. Go out and enjoy living.

Education must be simple, sequential, self-affirmative, congratulatory and joyful.

It is not about cliques or teams, popularity, competition, the athletic, the gifted, where the strongest survive and profit. It is an equal and democratic standard where everyone can learn, apply and thrive.

The network marketing home business model provides the essential structure for the right education, empowerment and change.

Let's see if your school and/or business experiences relate.

Sincerely,
AnneMarie
