Are You a Motivated Idiot?

I know that sounds offensive, but it might be true.  I know, because I WAS one!  Let me explain what I mean by being a motivated idiot…

Someone came to you (and me) one day and presented you with an opportunity to make money from home.  After hearing the presentation you got excited! The thought of making BIG money while in your PJ’s sounded pretty cool.  Staying home with the kids and going on long vacations sounded even better.  Paying off all debt and living a dream life of financial freedom sounded out of this world!  So what did you do?  You plunked down the money and joined the business opportunity.

Now this is where the idiot part comes in.  You are motivated and want to make the BIG BUCKS, but don’t have a clue what to do.  Your sponsor tells you to make a “vision board” and to think positive thoughts.  He or she tells you to make a list and talk to as many people are you can about your business.  So you make your vision board, say your affirmations, build your list, talk about your business to family and friends and guess what?  Nothing (or very little) happens and before you know if you are unmotivated and out of business!  Your dreams are dead and your hopes are dashed.  The problem is you do it all over again the next time an “opportunity” is presented and so the cycle continues until one day you just plain give up, quit, call it a day, throw in the towel, etc.  Why? Because you are what I call a MOTIVATED IDIOT (please don’t be offended because there is hope for you...honest)!

Do you want to know what will make it all work for you?  Do you want to finally have the success you dreamed of?  Do you want to become a motivated SUCCESS?

This information WILL change your life IF you APPLY it.  I know, for it has changed mine!  So if you are serious about success, about finally making it and seeing those BIG checks coming in the mail get the eBook now!

Own Your Own Business

I would strongly encourage anyone to take the opportunity, in these economic times, to strike out on his or her own.  Start your OWN business.

The great thing is that you can start a great business for as little as $200.  The bad thing is that there are too many choices out there and most of them are not really good opportunities.  If you want to start a home-based business, do your homework.  Get educated.  If you have a home-based business that is going nowhere fast, get educated!  Find the help you need and learn from those who ARE successful.  If one person can be successful doing a thing, anyone can provided the system they are using is duplicatable.

There are too many scams out there and more are being born everyday.  I hate seeing people spend countless thousands of dollars making someone else rich and become discouraged and even quiting in the process.  That makes me both sick and mad! 

Here is what I recommend:

Download a free copy of the e-Book Success in 10 Steps by Michael Dlouhy.  Michael is my friend and a 27 year veteran in the network marketing business.  I have yet to meet anyone who pours his life out for network marketers like he does.  He developed the Mentoring for Free system to train network marketers and give them the best education that can be had for FREE!  You can download this eBook for FREE by clicking HERE.

Once you download the eBook, READ IT!  It’s 91 pages, but packed with valuable information.  You will also get an opportunity to listen to some VERY POWERFUL free audio lessons.  This information is a game-changer and yes, it’s FREE!  You will be introduced to a duplicatable system that REALLY works.  IF you follow the system, you WILL succeed just has MANY other have.  There is ongoing training in advertising, how to talk to people, one-on-one coaching and much more.

Do You Know How Much You Will Earn?

I have looked at a number of compensation plans and they are all-over-the-board.  Most people do not have a clue how many folks they will have to have in there organizations to make their desired amount ot income.  Here is one compensation plan that I would like you to compare with yours, please let me know how yours stack up:

Desired Annual Income                                    # of Users Needed

$     20,000                                                                        100
$     30,000                                                                        150
$     40,000                                                                        200
$     50,000                                                                        250
$     60,000                                                                        300
$     70,000                                                                        350
$     80,000                                                                        400
$     90,000                                                                        450
$   100,000                                                                        500
$   250,000                                                                     1,250
$   500,000                                                                     2,500 

These estimates are VERY conservative because the company would rather over-deliver.  Many have made more with much less.  I know one man who made $ 10,000 with only 253 people in his organization!  By organization I mean all those within his downline, and not necessarily sponsored personally.  The compensation plan with this company allows for unlimited width and depth.

This income is residual, so you don’t have to keep working to bring in the money.  The word “Users” is used because this compensation plan makes it possible to achieve the stated levels of income with retail customers as well as affiliates.

Concerning the products, they are excellent and AFFORDABLE.  For example, a 30-day supply of vitamin packs is under $40.00!  A similar pack costs over $55.00 at GNC.  Their diet cookies are under $1.50 per bar compared to other products at GNC which are $1.59.   Their energy drink is $ .75 per serving compared to Red Bull at 2.99 for the same serving amount!  From this you can see how you can maintain a retail customer business with this company.  It’s a true 5-pillar company as well.  I have seen nothing like it so far!

I challenge you to compare your company’s compensation plan with this one.  I would be interested to know what the findings are.  Email me at Michael.Puskas@gmail.com with your findings.  For a free audio on compensation plans, please email me with “compensation plans” in the subject line.

Stop Trying - Just Do It!

“I’ll try.”  How many times have you said it?  How many times have you heard other people say it?  What usually happens when you or others say, “I’ll try”?  Nothing!

If you treat your business with an “I’ll try” attitude I can pretty much assure you that you will fail.  It’s not those who “try” who succeed; it is those who “do.”  I don’t try to build my home-based business; I do it!  I made a decision long ago that I would become financially free and I work everyday to MAKE IT HAPPEN.  I have a burning desire and an attitude that I will succeed.  I choose to succeed!

Our industry is crowded with those who try.  They try this business and that business.  They try, try, try and as a result they fail, fail, fail!  When you decide to stop trying and start doing, your life will change.  Doer’s are the ones who succeed and make the world a better place.

Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Napoleon Hill, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and others didn’t try; they took action and achieved their goals by DOING.  Trier’s will continue as long as there are no obstacles, but doer’s will fight on despite the obstacles.  Doers know the principle of success.  Success comes to those who are willing to pay the price to do WHATEVER it takes despite what gets thrown in their way.  Trier’s see setbacks as a sign to stop.  Doer’s treat setbacks as a sign to charge forward. 

I am sure you have heard the attitude is everything.  Attitude may not be everything, but it sure is the genesis for all major success.  If you have an attitude that, “I will try,” you are saying that you are not committed to your dream.  If you are not committed, you WILL fail.  A committed person will press on come hell or high water!

So, stop trying!  Develop and attitude of a doer and pursue your dream, overcome the obstacles until your dream (goal) becomes a reality.  Don’t try harder, stop trying altogether and start doing! Just do it!

Note:  The difference between a dream and a goal is simple.  A dream is in your head and heart.  A goal is a dream that has been written down, recorded on paper. To have a dream is wonderful, but to have a goal is better!

Make Life Happen - Just Don't Let it Happen!

All experiences of life are designed by God to force men and woman to take action; to compel them to stop being victims of circumstances and become creators of their own destiny.

Who are you?  You are unique and possess the power to create, take action, make choices and have and be what you desire.  Image a ship sailing into the sea without a captain or rudder to stir the ship to the desired destination.  Such a ship would be tossed by the waves of the seas and never reach it’s intended port-of-call.   Most people on this planet are just like the ship I just described.   They don’t design their day, they let their days “design” them.

Do you control your environment, or does your environment control you?  The answer to this question will determine whether you can succeed as a successful human being, or not.  Again, most let the environment form them instead of taking charge despite what the environment presents.

We were created in God’s image after His likeness.  We, unlike plants or animals, have the power to create the life that we desire.  God gave us a Free Will.  Our Will is to be used!  Do you use your Will, or are you like a powerful aircraft without a pilot?  Are you setting on the runway of life, or are you in charge, having a destiny to reach with the determination to reach it?

How much time do you invest in YOU?  Do you use your mind to design your life or does the circumstances of life form you?  So many just let life happen TO them instead of making life happen FOR them. 

The majority of the people I meet online are desirous to conduct a home based business, but do not understand that it takes work and determination.  The most important work that you can do to succeed is to work on YOU first.  Most of us have limiting beliefs that need to be dealt with.  Others have lack of understanding of success and what it takes to be successful. 

Would you let someone operate on you who was not properly educated, tested, and experienced?  Would you let an electrician wire your house who has never been properly educated with the laws of electricity?  I know that I would not.  How can you expect to succeed without knowing the laws of success? 

Here’s what I see:  People get all excited about their home based businesses, and start throwing “mud at the wall” hoping that some of it will stick.  It’s a game of chance to them because that’s the way they live their lives and this is based on false or limiting beliefs.  Then after trying for a month or two they quit!  Why do they quit?  Because they don’t understand what it takes to succeed!  Where would we be if Thomas Edison got discouraged and quit after 100 attempts of trying to develop the light bulb?  We would be in the dark!  The FACT is that Thomas Edison tried over 10,000 times to get his invention to work!  He understood the laws of success and applied them.  He controlled his circumstances and did not let his environment control him.   He did not listen to the critics; he followed dreams.

Some will challenge me and say that only God is in control, what can we do?  Well my friend, the fact is, God is FOR you.  If you have some curve balls thrown your way, they are only meant to direct you down a better path.  I am not telling you to ignore your environment; I am instructing you to analyze it and use what life doles out to achieve your goals.  It’s like an airline pilot; he takes off and maneuvers around storms and turbulence when possible.   When he cannot, he doesn’t quit flying!  He endures the turbulence until he gets through it, making for a successful flight and landing at his DESIRED destination.

What do you do when the storms of life come your way?  Do you quit and give up on your dreams and goals.  If you don’t have the stomach for what it takes to succeed, I feel sorry for you.  Why?  Because you were given everything you need, by God, to be a successful human being.  Don’t waste it by being whimpish.  Get up, take charge, trust God, and MAKE your life happen; don’t just LET it happen!  USE the gifts and talents God has given you.  Even the “bad breaks” can serve as tools for your success.  Open your eyes and ears or opportunity.  Prepare yourself for success.  If a door closes, don’t stand in front of it crying because it closed.  Look behind you, a bigger and better door is probably opened!

A farmer prepares his fields for harvest.  However, would harvest come without preparation?  The farmer needs to cultivate the land, sow the seed, and trust God for the rain.  That is a successful farmer!

Don’t be so quick to discount God in all of this.  The fact is, without God, nothing will happen!  The farmer could work his tail off but without God’s kindness and favor to send the rain, his labor would be in vain.  Therefore it is paramount that you believe in, trust, and thank God for his role in your life.  Gratitude is a key ingredient for success.  Don’t try to succeed without it.

Now, take charge of your life.  Go to work on dealing with false beliefs, work on improving yourself, help others along the way, and trust in the living God.  You will succeed with these ingredients.  There is NO doubt.
