Humans by nature, are impatient. Especially in this day and age of the internet, we want and expect everything to be right here, right now with ease.
Our attention spans are getting shorter, and this is not good news for the economy.
I once listened to a Brian Tracy tape and he said something along the lines that successful people have the ability to think over a long time perspective, while unsuccessful people don’t.
For instance: a drug addict’s time perspective is his next hit, a young professional’s time perspective is his next payday.
However, people who have reached the highest levels in any field have time perspectives of 5, 10, 20 years or more. Their long term goal is considered in each of their day-to-day decisions.
This “time perspective” concept super effectively explains how many young middle class people are up to their eyeballs in debt. They simply need to have it all NOW! [click to continue…]
Do you know the reason why most people don’t own their lives? The reason why they just mindlessly go to their day jobs every morning and park themselves in front of the mind-numbing television every evening? It’s because they’ve never made a decision to own their lives.
Some people go to work because they have to. They have mortgages and bills to pay. Others just go because heaps of other people are doing it. Very few do it because they love it. Most people just don’t make the important life decisions and because of that, the most important decisions are made for them.
Rarely do people work at careers truly of their own choosing. Most people work at their jobs because it was the first place hiring! They say “Oh well, it’s not really the job I want but they’re offering me a good package with benefits, so I’ll take it until I find my ideal career” They rarely do, such is their lack of self worth.

iLearningGlobal is the second major MLM company to terminate it’s pay plan in 2010, and therefore all of its distributors. It follows XELR8′s painful decision to go direct sales in February. It was announced on March 17 that iLG will cease distributing it’s products via MLM and go to a more traditional retail sales model.
This decision will be hugely detrimental to the many distributors who have put their belief, faith, trust and energy into the company for their future. It will be especially so for the top distributors who will bear the responsibility of emotions from their entire downline team. It’s also bad for the entire MLM industry as many will lose confidence in it as a vehicle.
iLearningGlobal began in early 2008 with Brian Tracy, a global leader in personal development, as one of its founders. It was in pre-launch for about year before it officially launched in March 2009. Come March 2010, the company has failed its hard working distributors. [click to continue…]
I once heard Brian Tracy, a well known self-help author, say that “fully 85 per cent of your happiness in life will come from your personal relationships. The other 15 per cent will come from your accomplishments.” The more I think about it, the more I realise this statement is true. Your success is heavily dependent on the quality of the relationships you develop.
Network Marketing, more than any other form of business, is a relationships business. Its entire philosphy is people helping other people to become financially independent. And therefore, understanding people is an essential skill to have.
The more you study people and understand them, the better you can relate. And the better you can relate, the better you’ll be able to help others. The more you help others, more successful you’ll be. [click to continue…]
