From Michael Dlouhy’s success in 10 steps, on one of many reasons people fail in network marketing which is Greed and Ego and even fear is what keeps people from progressing forward.

“They failed for the same reason. Most of the companies or large organizations I've seen crash & burn, it happened because of greed & ego.

Greed & ego.

Other companies did it right. They had good sponsoring systems in place, and they sold their promotional material at a reasonable price. Success leaves footprints in the sand that you can follow. If you can’t follow the footprints, you must be on the wrong beach.”

From Success in 10 Steps by Michael Dlouhy, you are unable to have any success when you have greed or ego around. Yet fear is another big thing which is holding alot of people back also. These must all be conqured so that you can have success in your own life.

From Lawrence Bergfeld’s blog a wonderful post from Lawrence Bergfeld on leadership in network marketing.

Home Business Secret Revealed On Leadership:
A crucial home business secret revealed on leadership is that you have to be the person who sets the tone for your organization because people will do what you do not what you say. If you start micromanaging your team then they will do the same thing which will result in your organization stalling instead of duplicating.
What a person needs to be doing in this business is teaching what they have learned from the top leaders in their company and in this industry to their downline. It must be really simple. Jordan Adler said that if an eight year old can teach it to others then it duplicates, here is the reason why. It is in no way to insult the intelligence of the adults. But because they have so busy lives and if they can not get started immediately then they will not get started at all.
Here is how you develop leaders in this business. First of all you can not want it more for them then they want to have it for themselves or else they will do nothing. You will want to just be a professional pointer. Say something like this “This may or may not be for you, but this book has changed thousands of peoples lives!” or “Take a look at this audio and be sure to pay attention to the 2 year story, I was flabbergasted when I first heard it”. Let the tools do all the talking for you because at the beginning of your new distributors career he wants to earn a check and you want him to experience immediate success. You want him to say to himself that he could do what you just did and you want to avoid making it complicated or else he will not want to teach it to anyone who he knows. Most people have over 250 personal contacts. They want to share it right with them. Why complicate this and ruin a goldmine?
Your long term goal is to have a check comming in the mail to while you are on vacation and while you are sleeping. That is not about sponsoring 100 people on your team. Its about sponsoring five people whom you want to go on a one month cruise with. When you can teach them what you have learned and they can teach their five key leaders what they have learned from you. Then that is true duplication and imagining that one person has 1000 contacts. That is true momentum.
Avoid letting this crucial home business secret revealed on leadership pass you by or else this tip will go to other people instead of you!

The following is as appeared in Jim Rohns newsletter a wonderful article from Zig Ziglar. Thank you Zig.

Editor’s Note: Jim Rohn’s dear friend, personal development legend Zig Ziglar, joined him in heaven last Wednesday, November 28, 2012. Like Jim, Zig Ziglar touched millions of lives with his words of wisdom. Since Zig was known as a master communicator and sales guru, here is a classic Ziglar article that we’d like to share with you in his honor.

Simple Communications
by Zig Ziglar

When I entered the sales world, one of the first things my manager taught me was to keep my presentation so clear and uncluttered that a child could understand what I was saying. This advice has had a lasting impact on my life. I frequently remind my audiences that I speak and write at the seventh grade, ninth month level. I do this because I've discovered that at that level virtually everyone can clearly understand the message--even college professors! I include college professors because they're real people, and they, too, deserve to understand.

As my friend, Dr. Steve Franklin, a college professor from Emory University who taught me this, said, "The great truths in life are the simple ones. You do not need three moving parts and four syllables for it to be significant." He then pointed out that "there are only three pure colors--but look what Michelangelo did with them. There are only seven notes, but look at what Chopin, Beethoven and Vivaldi did with them. For that matter, look at what Elvis did with two!"

Most of us prefer things we can understand. Lincoln's Gettysburg Address is short and clear with nearly 80 percent of the words only one syllable. "God is love"--three words, all of them one syllable.
Seriously, now, when you ask someone what they had for breakfast, would you really appreciate it if they responded that they had the "upper part of a hog's hind leg, with two oval bodies encased in a shell laid by a female bird?" Or would you prefer to have the person answer, "We had ham and eggs for breakfast"?

And remember, language changes. At one time we referred to a person who spread rumors around the office as a "gossip." Now that person is called an "information specialist." Personally, I prefer simple, clear, direct communications. I'm convinced that most people do. Keep your communications "simple," and I'll SEE YOU AT THE TOP!

The following is from Jim Rohn’s newsletter on ways to survive the holiday season. A wonderful post with some lovely tips.

The holidays are upon us; a time of celebration and joy. I love the last days of November through the beginning of the New Year. The pure magic of the holidays is something that I anticipate and enjoy each and every year.

For some though, the holidays have lost the joy and excitement they at other times have had. The pace of life has grown so fast—much faster than those first holidays I remember in my life—that some people don’t enjoy the times they get to spend with their family and friends during what is supposed to be days filled with joy and peace.

Why is that? Probably a lot can be laid at the feet of how fast-paced our times are, but that isn’t all.

I believe our holiday times should be wonderful and filled with lasting and enjoyable moments and memories. So how can we ensure that we come out of the holidays in January with great memories of the past month? Here are six thoughts that will help you experience the holidays the way they were intended to be experienced:

Be Temperate
Holidays can be days of excess for many—too much food, too many cookies and treats. Too much chocolate, schedules that are too busy. One thing that will help you enjoy the holidays is to be temperate. Enjoy the food. Enjoy the treats. Enjoy the busy schedule of activities and parties. But also be disciplined enough to know when to hold back, when to say, “No.” When we go overboard we regret it and lose the opportunity to fully experience that moment. But when we enjoy a little and refrain from going too far, then we can enjoy all that little piece of time has to offer.
Lower Your Expectations
Much of the frustration people experience from the holidays is from setting their expectations too high. They expect too much from friends or family, and when they don’t get what they want, they get frustrated. They expect presents to be perfect and when they aren’t, they get frustrated or disappointed. Instead of having huge expectations this holiday season, just take it as it comes and enjoy what you can. And this brings me to my next point.

Enjoy What You Can and Ignore the Rest
This holiday season, go with an attitude of knowing that things will be what they will be. You can’t control other people or their actions. If a family member pushes the limits of your patience, ignore that and instead focus on how much you can enjoy the time you have with other family members. If things don’t go perfectly—which they won’t—then enjoy what you can and let the rest slide. You will feel a lot better about life if you can take all things a little easier.

Stay Out of Debt
Debt is a killer. It will steal your enjoyment of life. Be sure to stay within your financial boundaries this holiday season. The last thing you want is to start the New Year with a deeper burden financially. Know where you are financially and stay within those limits. You don’t have to impress anyone, just buy gifts that you can afford and express your feelings in the giving of the gift.

Take Time for Yourself
Be sure that, no matter how busy you get, you take time for yourself. Take time to read. Take a long bath if that relaxes you. Take a walk. Spend some time of quiet in front of a fire. Don’t rush through the holidays and sap all of your energy. Your mind and body need to be reenergized, so be sure to take time to do so.

Focus on Your Spiritual Life
Ultimately, no matter what tradition you come from, the holidays are historically days in which we focus on the spiritual. Men and women are created with a natural draw toward spiritual life. However, our culture today tends to stay away from a focus on the spiritual, and that has even crept into our holidays. Be sure to place an emphasis on building your spiritual life and growing in that area. This will help keep you grounded and able to deal with anything that may come your way.

Friends, this time of year is another chance to remember the important truths of life and to enjoy time with dear friends and family.
