Thursday 2-26-09
I left the house today and it was sunny outside. For some reason I still brought my golashes with me. I have ruined so many pairs of shoes that I said as everything melts I am not ruining my shoes today!
I get a call from a customer and he wants to buy an Element he has seen on Cars.com. Great. He is on his way in. It starts to rain. I am glad I have the rubbers. And an umbrella!
He and his lovely wife are newly pregnant and need a bigger car. What nice people. Thank you God! They purchased a good car at a very good price and seemed happy.
The rest of the day is Rain! I drive home in the pouring Rain. It was raining buckets! Thank God it was not snow!
That's my story for today!

Is this your Dream?
Talking about Dream Building!
I work in the Auto industry and once a year the City of Chicago hosts the Chicago Auto Show.
Actually the local dealers association hosts the show but you get the idea. I had the pleasure of working the show this past week and I was thinking how much people are in love with their automobiles! People dream about their special car. Anyhow here are some cars for you to dream about. I know they may not be the ones you dream about but the person next to you is really excited to see these pictures. Enjoy!

Network Marketing, Experts, Amateur's, and Me!
We all receive countless e-mails that tell us if we follow "their simple plan and leadership we will be successful like them! In 5, maybe 10 days. Okay, I am exaggerating. It may take a month! I have to ask, Am I stupid, or do I lack the talent to accomplish these simple tasks that others seem to find so easy? Or are they fabricating the story ? Have they "gilded the Lilly"? These "Experts" also always talk about how they have built the largest or fastest organization in their Network Marketing company.
When I get these e-mails I just wonder why are these "Experts" so willing to help me? For Money! Duh! Then I sit and think in my naive way, if they are so successful why do they need my measly $39.95, $49.95, $59.95 ...? If they are so great at what they do, and are building a network marketing business, why haven't they given all this information to the people in their downline? Is everyone in their downline experiencing the same astronomical growth? If Network Marketing is a relationship business, as I believe it is, does your downline have this program available to them? These people are in "Your" business and are, I assume, your friends. If they succeed your business increases, Right? So helping them succeed is why they should have this "super Fantastic Lead generating tool" in their arsenal. Do they? I guess I should ask if you are selling the program to them.
This is not an indictment on anyone! If you are sending out these advertisements great! I only want to share my thoughts. Please feel free to leave comments.
I just think about the people who give back to the industry. Tom "Big AL" Schreiter, Michael Dlouhy two of my mentors. they are both extremely successful. If I met either on the street and asked them a question on building a Network Marketing Business, I will bet that I would get more free information in a few minutes than most of these so called "Experts" sell in 3 or 4 programs! Why? Because they know that this is a relationship business. Not numbers. Not sell leads and systems to people. Just develop relationships. I am on a mental cleanse call every Wednesday and we read and comment on a chapter of the book "How to Think and Grow Rich"by Napolean Hill. I have learned more about myself through this process than anything I have done before in my life. My cost for this program? Zero! I have been able to clear much of the static in my brain. There is still alot of clutter but I am a work in progress! The reason for this exercise is to help people! Michael Dlouhy doesn't need to do a mental cleanse. If he wanted to he could sit at home with his wife and do what ever they want to do! They could probably charge a fee for the Mental Cleanse. People who have been on it would agree I am sure. People helping people. That is what Networking is about.
If you are building a Network Marketing business and would like help look no farther. If you are willing to give me no money, Zero, Nada I may be able to help you. You must also be coachable.
Am I an expert? No, I told you I am a work in progress. I do have two Mentors that know more about Network Marketing than most and as much as anyone in the industry. And they charge the same for their services. If you would like to develop a friendship with a fellow networker I am always looking to expand my horizons. I hope to hear from you and will share all that I know and am learning.
Good Luck and God Bless You!

Helping People who need Help!
I am not sure why but it seems like there are more people in need today than there were a few years ago. Now it may just be my perception. If you are a Network Marketer you might ask me for help.
Lately I have spoken to quite a few people who really need my help. They were laid off, or bills are getting bigger, or they are working less hours. The bottom line is they have turned to Network Marketing for an income. Some for maybe $100.00 or $200.00 a month extra. Some for $5000.00 or $6000.00 I offer all the help I can.
What really frosts me is when I hear the name of some of the companies they are in and I know that their chances are slim to none for success. I know that I cannot judge anyone, but I also believe that when we meet our Maker he won't be convinced by any trick phrases. He already knows what and how certain people have preyed on others for their own gain.
I told you it is my job to help people. Do I get paid? No. But when I help someone and they thank me I feel warm inside. And out of 10 people who ask me for help 2 or 3 may be looking for an opportunity. If we get along and like each other we may go in business together. Maybe not. either way I will help them pick a great opportunity that has their success in the cards. A 5 Pillar company! And I will help them build their business. The other 7 or 8 people I will also help. I supply them with the tools necessary to analyze a business. I teach them how to gather their own leads for free or very low cost. I also hold their hand when they need hand holding or hug them when the need a hug. I am their friend!
If you are in need of help building your business or would just like to ask someone who has a real good feel for Network Marketing then I urge you to e-mail or call me. I do not want to sell you anything! I do want to make sure you get the information that you need to make an informed decision. If you have joined a company I will help you. If you are looking at a company then I will help you! Oh and one more thing I do it all for Free!
Good Luck and God Bless You!

The Brain and What it can Do!
The brain is so powerful that we use only a small part of it to live our lives. I am unsure what percent of this computer that we use but I could google it if it was important. Suffice to say we do not use all of the brain. This is a quick story of how I have employed a function of the brain and of how someone told me of his brain power.
The first is related to my car sales career. I will ask people that I have met possibly 2-3 hours ago to spend more money than they may have ever spent before, or the second highest amount they have spent. Cars are expensive. The customers that buy from me have to feel a sense of trust or I do not believe they would spend one dime. Back to the brain. After I ask a person to purchase the vehicle I remain silent. The whole time in my mind I am sending the thoughts "Buy The Car" out over and over again! I will not say that it works always but I sell quite a few cars. I believe that these waves are received and help the people I deal with make a decision.
Second story. I am having breakfast with my son who is in college and works as a waiter on weekends at a local pub/restaurant. He tells me that his tips on Friday are greater than Saturday. Because he is in a pumped up / excited state. Friday he works as a delivery person from 11 am to 4 pm then at 5 he waits tables until 11 pm. Long day I know. He tells me he drinks Coke or Pepsi when he is working and is on a caffeine high. The bottom line is his brain is moving at a quicker pace. The positive energy that he is emitting is being received by his customers. These positive thought waves result in better tips for my son. He doesn't understand this , nor have I shared it with him. He just told me about this in our conversation.
The Brain is more powerful than we can even comprehend!

Stroke News!
INFORMATION EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW........................
Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue
I will continue to forward this every time it comes around!
STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters.... S.T.R.
A nurse sent this and encouraged me to post it and spread the word.
I agree.
If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.
Seriously..
Please read:
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics). She said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.
They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening
Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die; they end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.
It only takes a minute to read this...
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke... totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S * Ask the individual to SMILE.
T * Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
(i.e. It is sunny out today)
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency numberimmediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other , that is also an indication of a stroke.
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.
I read this and am reprinting without permission. I think it is public information ! It is Important!
MLM Success is Easy?
Yeah right! How can I say MLM Success is Easy? I guess the word easy is wrong . It should say simple. The process for success is easy. But walking into the bank is easy. Asking the banker for a million dollar loan might be a little hard!
So I would rather ask for a little bit each day. Maybe ten dollars or one hundred dollars. Then after a few weeks I am a little closer to my goal of one million! That's why I say Network Marketing Success is easy. Every day you do one or two things for your business. after one week you have done seven to fourteen things in your business. After a month you have twenty-eight to fifty-six things going on in your business! All that activity, easy as it is, will make things happen in your business.
Here is is one problem that we must avoid. Just because you have done fifty-six things in your business does not mean that you will automatically have results. What you did today may not have any value in your business for one, five, ten , or twenty months. Or it may result in nothing! That's ok because if you do nothing you are guaranteed nothing will happen. And when you think about it you just did one or two things in your business today.
That is why I say it is Easy! Do a little each day and then you will have the success you so richly Deserve!
Good Luck and God Bless You

Is Free so Bad?
Is Free so Bad?
I am always trying to improve myself and my lot in life. Just like all of you.
I read books, watch motivational videos, and listen to motivational and inspirational
audios. I strive to get and be better!
I have searched and found many free "gifts" on the web that has only required me to
give my information. Then I am able to read or view a book /video on a subject that I am interested in. Good deal! Many of these sites then tell me I can subscribe to their all informative
newsletter or buy an additional program to teach me the next step in the process. At that point i can make a decision. The marketer who has given me the free book/video/audio has "paid " for the opportunity to offer me more product. I am ok with that because I can decide if I can or will spend additional money.
One day I downloaded a free "gift" and it has truly changed the way I look at Network Marketing.
It has also helped me in how I approach many situations in life through some of the "extra" offers that I were introduced to me. I am not saying that the system I have found is for everyone but it has truly helped me. I have learned to focus my attention to what is important to me and my business. I have also learned How to think and not just what to think.
For a long time I thought I was the wrong make up for Network Marketing. I had met many "Big Hitters" and wondered if I could ever do what they do. Don't get me wrong. I am not a wallflower.
I have been selling cars for 27 years and I may not always be the top salesperson in my store I have been at the top many times and can run with the big dogs on any day! But I did not, still don't, look at network marketing as a sales job. I look at selling cars as a job helping people find what they want. I don't worry that they will call me in the morning and say I made a mistake and you talked me into something that I cannot afford. I feel the same about Network Marketing. I do not want to put anyone in a "corner" where unless they say yes they will look and sound like a loser! But my previous runs at Networking led me to beleive that is how it is done. Then I found the Book that turned the way I view our industry around. It helped me and can help you!
It is Free to read. Just put your information on the opt in page. One catch! I will call you and offer you more information, BUT I will not ask you for any money! I can supply you with as much information as you need to help you with your business. Free!
Good luck and God Bless!
