Ask All The Time!

I ask for help all time. I get help from my upline, folks I purchase material from and friends I meet online. A Tip! When you can, return favor. For instance, Josh Hinds, who writes "Let's Talk Motivation" has been helped me. I just recently sent my downline his link. I have other people who have helped me as well. Write me. I'll give you their names and links!

It never hurts to be grateful. Never! **THE VALUE OF GETTING TO KNOW PEOPLE

I Work With People -- Not A Product!

I just talked with a young mom going through a divorce. She wanted to know more about network marketing. Frankly, she can't join my organization now but I told her to use me for a resource anytime. If I don't know answer I'll try and get it for her!

I try to keep people in focus.

And that goes for my downline. It may sound a bit strange to you but I've said to select members of my downline many times that I'm praying for them. And I do!

If I ever lose this focus -- even if I'm a "success" -- I won't deserve success I may experience. **THE REALITY OF DISCOURAGEMENT

It's Tough!

There just ain't no other word for it.

Expect it. Make mental adjustments. And go on. **THE VALUE OF CREATING WAYS TO HAVE FUN

Is it fun for you to IM? Then get online! Is it fun for you to talk? So talk! Is it fun for you to write? Then write!

**THE VALUE OF "CAPTURING THE JOY" OF SUCCESS

Capture The Moments!

Whether it's enrolling someone, getting some hits on website, helping a downline member, or any number of things: "capture" some of good times. Don't say, "Well, it's just one. It should be ten!"

True. Ten would be better. However, one is still important!

Let The "Highs" Move You On!

Sometimes I like to "use" high moments to propel me to more action. "Okay, Lee. That was neat. Now why not call while you feel this way? You're up. Go for it!!"

**THE VALUE OF ALLOWING MYSELF TIME TO SUCCEED

I'm Not There Yet!

Honestly, am I where I want to be? No. But I CAN see value of network marketing.

"Seeing" The Potential!

I work at home. I like what I do. As others join my downline they are working for their benefit and mine. Checking your email and finding that someone has just "come aboard" in a downline means that "it's working." There IS potential for growth. Real, solid growth.

And you know what I've found? Understanding that potential has kept me going at times. I can "see" it.

Ten lessons from a first year "newbie." I hope they will help you or someone you know!

The best of success to you and those you love,

Lee

Personally, I look for simple things. I ask, "What is something I could do now that I would enjoy? What will 'fit in' my work day that will cause me to be creative in some small way?"

The four principles are:

1. Short! 2. Simple! 3. Enjoy! 4. Fit in! (i.e. I can work it in my schedule)

The idea: I break "blah" time with a fun or meaningful activity. I *create* in a segment of my life a place of refreshment. A place to enjoy. A place that breaks "dry cereal mode."

I can do this at home or work -- or wherever!

ADD UP YOUR WORTH!

This is important for Lee. I can tend to get "down" on myself in middle of these times. "Ah, Lee, look at what so-and-so is doing. How come you're like this and not like him?"

I have to remind myself to "think truth." No, I'm not doing best I am capable of but I'm still a part of team! None of us can play 100% all of time. Some days are just bad games in season of life!

Take stock of things you are doing well. What areas are you contributing value to your organization or to your family? Think truthfully!

STAY IN THE GAME

Stick with it. "Being there" does carry with it its own reward. I know when I have "pushed through" and not allowed "blah day" to dominate how I feel about myself and how I perform.

I know it.

And, frankly, I like it when I can affirm that truth!

THE END!

Like I said: I'm no expert, but I do try.

Want to know something?

I kinda did what I was talking about by writing this article. The last couple of days have been "blah" days for me. Taxes. Ugh!

I said, "I'm takin' a break!" I did. It helped.

I hope my break helps you!
