He felt that ordinary people could become really quite remarkable if they believed in themselves, and if they do, thwy will findrepparttar secret of success.

So many people trying to start a business, don't believe in themselves. They look for advice from self proclaimed "gurus" and try very little on their own. Any MLMer will tell you aboutrepparttar 105009 power of duplicatable systems. While much of this is true, and it is not always necessary to re-inventrepparttar 105010 wheel, many miss a very important point.

A duplicatable system does not demand that you memorize a script. It basically means that you know your product, and have seen what has worked for others, and follow their lead. If you add your own ingenuity and sales efforts, you will do even better.
