Top Network Marketing Secret Revealed On Making Decisions Promptly Today

from Welcome To Lawrence Bergfeld's Blog by mikorte

          A great network marketing secret revealed is to make your decisions promptly and avoid procrastinating. Or else you will never get around to do what you always wanted to do. Dale Rohwers lesson plan on Chapter 8 will tell you all.

The Mastery of Procrastination

Procrastination, the lack of decision, is a common enemy which practically every man/woman must conquer.

Mr. Hill writes, ” The majority of people who fail to accumulate money sufficient for their needs are generally,
easily influenced by the ‘opinions’ of others. They permit the newspapers and the ‘gossipping’ neighbors to do
their ‘thinking’ for them. ‘Opinions’ are the cheapest commodities on earth. Everyone has a flock of opinions
to be wished upon anyone who will accept them. If you are influenced by ‘opinions’ when you reach decisions,
you will not succeed in any undertaking, much less in that of transmuting your own desire into money.

If you are influenced by the opinions of others, you will have no desire of your own.

Keep your own counsel, when you begin to put into practice the principles described here, by reaching your
own decisions, and following them. Take no one into your confidence, except the members of your ‘Master-
Mind’ group, and be very sure in your selection of this group, that you choose only those who will be in complete
sympathy and harmony with your purpose.

Close friends and relatives, while not meaning to do so, often handicap one through ‘opinions’ and sometimes
through ridicule, which is meant to be humorous. Thousands of men and women carry inferiority complexes
with them all through life, because some well-meaning, but ignorant person destroyed their confidence through
‘opinions’ or ridicule.

You have a brain and mind of your own. Use it, and reach your own decisions. If you need facts or information
from other people, to enable you to reach decisions, as you probably will in many instances; acquire these facts
or secure the information you need quietly, without disclosing your purpose.

In your search for the  ”secret” of the method, do not look for a miracle, because you will not find it. You will only
the eternal laws of NATURE. These laws are available to every person who has the ‘faith and courage’ to use them.
They may be used to bring freedom to a nation, or to accumulate riches. There is no charge, save the time
neccessary to understand and appropiate them.”

After reading and re-reading several parts of this chapter this time, I am seeing WHY i have made most of the
decisions in my life by the wrong influences-my family and so-called friends who so willing offered THEIR opinions
to me. These people was not in complete ‘harmony and sympathy’ with my purpose. 

As I/we, continue to build our networking marketing business, we must be very careful who we confide in about
the building, the activities and the business portion of it, that they will be a part of our ‘Master-Mind’ group.

Also, as I/we continue to build, I believe that we need to be in complete sympathy and harmony with the
Infinite Intelligence, which means that we have to forgive those well meaning people that thought that they was
helping us as will as asking for forgiveness for ourselves for doing the same thing to someone else. Remember also,
even if we just ‘think it’, it could be a sin. So let’s keep ALL of our thoughts in the positive nature. My mother always
said, “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.” I believe this goes as well for our thoughts.

With many ‘thanks’ to all who have ‘Master-Minded’ this great group,

Follow this network marketing secret revealed on making decisions promptly today because if you do not do so then you will suffer with the pain of regret.

Levels of Success

Posted on: Tuesday, October 16, 2012|Written by: Josh and Lisa Lannon

Sitting on the amazing white sand beach, gazing across the deep blue ocean at Kauai, I was reflecting back on the journey to what got me to where I am today. How life’s choices, lessons, teachers, challenges, commitments, and actions form one’s destiny. As I was drifting deeper into thought, a Hawaiian monk seal groans and awakens from her nap on the beach. She did not hear me sit down about 20 feet from her to watch the sunrise.

The monk seal and I, along with hundreds of crabs running on the beach, enjoyed the early morning together. The only footprints in the sand were our’s, and we were on the Forbidden Island, Niihau. Niihau is a privately owned island in the Hawaiian Islands and one island north of Kauai.

I was looking at Kauai and remembering only a few years earlier when I had spent a week on the island with my family at the Grand Hyatt. After years of hard work, extreme focus, and building my business, we treated ourselves to a family vacation. I was playing in the beautiful pools with the kids thinking, “This is it, I made it.” The business was running well, family was healthy, and I was happy.

Sitting on the beach on Niihau, I realized that the family trip to Kauai was a moment in life, and only one level. It was not the end game, but a moment to reflect and enjoy. If I had stopped and not maintained the drive, passion, and vision that created the trip to Kauai in the first place, I would have never experienced the next level on Niihau.

On Niihau, I was on a private hunting trip with my friend and teacher Robert Kiyosaki. At the same time, Lisa, my wife was sailing with Kim Kiyosaki on her boat around Maui, up to Molokai, then to Oahu. The kids were with the grandparents on Oahu and loving it! It was truly a “fast track” experience just like in Rich Dad’s Cashflow 101 board game. It was the next level for us in business, enjoyment, and friendships.

I saw the islands of Kauai and Niihau sitting across from each other as levels. When we are on one level that is all we can see. The process of each level is not always enjoyable or easy. It is far from it. It’s not until we have mastered the current level and have advanced to the next level that we can see it from the bigger picture.

We never know how close we are to the next level until we achieve it. It’s when the opportunities in life present themselves that we get to choose. We can choose to be Rich, Poor, or Middle Class (for more on this listen to Rich Dad's Choose to be Rich).

No matter where you are in life and in your journey, you may be closer than you think to achieving and mastering your current level, and moving forward to the next level. The levels of: Heath, Wealth, and Happiness. In essence, a Rich Life.

Keep creating, keep driving, and keep going. Create the positive moments in life that last forever.

Lessons Learned from a Control Freak

From Our Community | October 16, 2012 | Living, Loving

Good News

By Denise Barry

Hi, my name is Denise, and I am a Control Freak.

Well, in a recovering sort of way, actually.

I first recognized my need for control when my firstborn took her first step. I followed closely behind her as she toddled, arms outstretched, ready to catch her when she fell. I know this is a normal thing parents do, so as to protect their unsteady child. The problem I had is that my arms were stuck in this position until just a couple of years ago (my daughter is now sixteen).

My need for control didn’t end there, though. I tried to govern everything else in my life as well. I needed my house to be perfectly clean. I was fanatical about going to the gym. I was obsessed over every new wrinkle. I worried what people thought of me. It was all so exhausting!

My sister, Darlene, was a Control Freak too, until shortly before she died.

As she lay in her hospital bed just over two years ago, prepped for an emergency surgery the doctors hoped would save her life, Darlene seemed peaceful and relaxed. My family and I were all very surprised by this. Here was a woman who couldn’t sleep at night because she had so much on her mind—all of the things she had to do, all of the people she had to worry about, all of the accidents waiting to happen.

I felt confused by this. Where was the fear and panic now? Why wasn’t she trying to control this when it actually meant something for once? Not just something but everything! I felt angry. She was only forty-five years old! Why wasn’t she fighting for her life?

She never woke up from the surgery. Her husband told us afterward that she had known she was going to die. She had told him so before being wheeled away—calmly. I guess she had known this was beyond her jurisdiction, so had simply surrendered to it.

A few months after she died, when my grief had settled into a clumsy form of acceptance, I tried to put myself inside her slippers on that fateful day. What had it felt like to let it all go—to give up the never-ending rat race? I thought it probably felt really good.

I decided not to wait until my last moments to find out. I strapped on those slippers and surrendered. Just a little bit at first. I was immediately uncomfortable with it. I felt powerless, like I had no control. But it didn’t take me long to realize that there was a lot of freedom in letting go and it becomes easier the more I do it.

There are some things we can control, like what we eat and whether or not we choose to exercise. We can choose how we treat others and how we allow them to treat us.

Basically, we can control our actions and reactions, and that’s about all.

The most important lesson I learned is that living in fear (a.k.a. control) is not really living at all. It’s more like tiptoeing around life (when you’re not flat-out running away from it). It was empowering to give up the “power” I thought I had.

If I could, I would give my sister a hug of epic proportion and thank her for leaving me with this invaluable gift of freedom. Not just for myself but for my kids, as well. I know they’re much happier today, since I no longer follow them around, expecting them to fall. In learning to let go myself, I’m also showing my family that it’s ok for them not to have to control every aspect in their lives.

So let’s GO for “letting go” and really savor each moment. Be grateful for what was, is, and shall come and know that each circumstance, no matter how challenging, is truly perfectly beautiful. If we can learn to accept it and let it go, it will reveal a life-transforming message. Guaranteed!

The following is an article from Daren Hardy on the power of Emotional inteligence and its use.

An Intelligence Test (1 of 2)
by Darren Hardy

You probably know by now I was raised by a single father who was a university football coach by profession (and personality). My dad was only 24 years old when I was born so he only knew how to parent like he coached.

Like Tom Hanks said in the movie A League of Their Own, “There’s no crying in baseball!”
Well, there is definitely no crying in football… so there was no crying in our household.

You got used to hearing two things in our house: either “Stop your sniveling and tough it out” or “Keep crying and I’ll give you something to cry about!” The last one always baffled me. If I was already crying I probably already came up with a pretty good reason.

Anyway, the point is I was taught to control my emotions, to disconnect from what I was feeling and handle most situations mentally.

I have found many people of my generation, and most definitely those before me, were raised with very similar beliefs. The term “emotional” came to mean weak, out of control and even childish.

“Don’t be a baby!” we say to the little boy who is crying on the playground. “Leave him alone! Let him work it out!” and we admonish the little girl who runs to help the little boy.

On the other hand, our abilities to memorize and problem-solve, to spell words and do mathematical calculations, are easily measured on written tests and slapped as grades on report cards.

Ultimately, these intellectual abilities dictate which college will accept us and which career paths we‘re advised to follow.

However, this is the conundrum we are discovering: intellectual intelligence (IQ) is usually less important in determining how successful we will become than emotional intelligence (EQ).

We all know people who are academically brilliant and yet are socially inept and unsuccessful. What they are missing is...
