I got an email from Building Lasting Success that I want to share with my Team

.

Dennis people are simply no longer willing to accept working for someone else at a job and being paid what their employer determines they are worth. Working for someone else for 30 to 40 years and then retiring with barely enough income to survive is no longer being tolerated.

IIndividuals (and society in general) are becoming much more educated and are now realizing that they have a choice. They have an alternative to a better quality of life. That "choice" is to get started in a part-time home business, in the network marketing industry. There are currently over 70 million home business owners (worldwide) and the growth rate continues to climb.

There are obviously many reasons for starting a home business. From being your own boss to building your own dream instead of someone else's. But, the two "primary" reasons are:

More Time & More Money

The achievement of an improved quality of life is the sole driving force of one of the most amazing industries in the world. Two of the key components that assist us in improving our lifestyle are more time and more money.

The time and resources to truly enjoy life! To spend time with those you care most about. Having "time freedom" is really the ability to do what you want to do - when you want to do it. What an amazing feeling!

The ability to create the lifestyle you have dreamed about. To have the ability to purchase a nicer car, a nicer home or take an extra vacation each year. Having more money provides "options" that would otherwise not be available.

This vehicle we call network marketing is the single greatest industry in the world today! Once people truly understand "what" it is and "what" it is not and "what" it can do for their quality of life, they simply cannot move quickly enough to get started!

What most of us didn't learn in school…

This is a 75 year old time-proven industry that has produced more millionaires than any other industry. The business model is amazingly simple. And the best part? Everyone is qualified to excel in this industry regardless of age, education, background or experience.

Network marketing is simply sharing information with others about a product or service you believe in and then teaching them to do exactly the same. That's it! It is working together with other people to ensure the success of all - not the individual.

Let's go a little deeper…

Moreover, this industry provides a channel of distribution for companies with innovative or distinctive products not readily available in traditional retail stores, or who cannot afford to compete with the enormous advertising and promotion costs associated with gaining space on retail shelves. Network marketing enhances the retail distribution infrastructure of the economy, and provides consumers with a convenient source of quality products.

Let's use an example to clarify. Think of any company that comes to mind. Typically, this company will probably have a CEO, president, some vice presidents, middle management and employees. Now, who makes the most money in our example? The CEO, right?

All the employees and middle management work very hard, but the people at the top benefit. The money flows "up" to the top. This is what most people are used to in just about any company with any job.

However, our wonderful industry is very different. Everyone has an equal opportunity to earn as much as they want. You are not working for someone else because you are your own boss. The playing field is completely level and fair for everyone. It is the industry that allows your dreams to come true!

Furthermore, here's a big twist from what you are probably accustomed to. In any company, do the people at the top help the people at the bottom try to reach the top? Typically not! However, in network marketing it is to your benefit to help people who are new reach the top - or at least work their way up. The financial benefits are tremendous for all concerned. Specifically, you are paid to help others become more successful.

How cool is that?

Helping other people be successful actually helps you be more successful! What a concept!

Now, let's clear up a few myths and some confusion…

Pyramids, ponzi's and chain letters have absolutely no connection to our great industry of network marketing. They are unethical and generally illegal.

Network marketing is not only legitimate, but the concept is the underlying foundation of just about every company in the world. That is…

Getting products, services or information out to the consumer and generating a profit.

However, in our Industry, "you" are the recipient of those profits, instead of the owners and upper management. Such an amazing industry…we are blessed to be a part of it.

Who's on first

One of the most famous baseball comedy acts to ever take place  was the humorous exchange between Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. The words alone cannot do it justice, but it is still quite funny to read. The skit was originally done on the radio live (each & every time)
Abbott & Costello performed this entire exchange live on the radio exactly as it appears several thousands times and Baseball Almanac  has the script and recording on there web site.

Why the US is in deep trouble

A DC airport ticket agent offers some examples of why.
1. I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman (Carol Shea-Porter) ask for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. (On an airplane!)
2. I got a call from a Kansas Congressman's (Moore) staffer (Howard Bauleke), who wanted to go to Cape Town. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information, and then he interrupted me with, ''I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Cape Town is in Massachusetts.''
Without trying to make him look stupid, I calmly explained, '' Cape Cod is in Massachusetts, Cape Town is in South Africa.'' His response -- click.
3. A senior Vermont Congressman (Bernie Sanders) called, furious about a Florida package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando. He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that's not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state.
He replied, 'Don't lie to me. I looked on the map and Florida is a very thin state!'' (OMG)
4. I got a call from a lawmaker's wife (Landra Reid) who asked,
''Is it possible to see England from Canada ?''
I said, ''No.''
She said, ''But they look so close on the map.'' (OMG, again!)
5. An aide for a cabinet member (Janet Napolitano) once called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas. I pulled up the reservation and noticed he had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas. When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he said, ''I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to drive between gates to save time.'' (Aghhhh)
6. An Illinois Congresswoman (Jan Schakowsky) called last week. She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 a.m., and got to Chicago at 8:33 a.m.
I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois, but she couldn't understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told her the plane went fast, and she bought that.
7. A New York lawmaker, (Jerrold Nadler) called and asked, ''Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?'' I said, "No, why do you ask?"
He replied, ''Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said (FAT), and I'm overweight. I think that's very rude!''
After putting him on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was dying laughing). I came back and explained the city code for Fresno, Ca. is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a destination tag on his luggage.
8. A Senator John Kerry aide (Lindsay Ross) called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii. After going over all the cost info, she asked, ''Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii ?''
9. I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman, Bobby Bright from Alabama who asked, "How do I know which plane to get on?''
I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, ''I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these planes have numbers on them.''
10. Senator Dianne Feinstein called and said, ''I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola, Florida. Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?''
I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola, FL , on a commuter plane.
She said, ''Yeah, whatever, smarty!''
11. Mary Landrieu, Louisiana Senator, called and had a question about the documents she needed in order to fly to China. After a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded her that she needed a visa. "Oh, no I don't. I've been to China many times and never had to have one of those.''
I double checked and sure enough, her stay required a visa. When I told her this she said, ''Look, I've been to China four times and every time they have accepted my American Express!''
12. A New Jersey Congressman (John Adler) called to make reservations, ''I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York.''
I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, ''Are you sure that's the name of the town?''
"Yes, what flights do you have?'' replied the man.
After some searching, I came back with, ''I'm sorry, sir, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a rhino anywhere.."
The man retorted, ''Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!''
So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, ''You don't mean Buffalo, do you?''
The reply? ''Whatever! I knew it was a big animal.''

Something to Think About

Keep your eyes on the horizon, Feet on the ground, and your Heart on fire.

What to do if you get a speeding ticket

Did you know that about 35 million speeding tickets are written every year. Most are not contested. They go to court and pay the fine, pay court costs, get a hike in there car insurance and points on their license. A recent study by an attorney specializing in traffic tickets showed that 60% of his contested cases were won. Of that amount, over 40% were won by lack of prosecution - No Officer = Not Guilty. An additional 25% were won through the inability to prove the charges. As you can see, just by going to court and contesting your ticket, the odds are in your favor.

The magic word in contesting a speeding ticket is Attorney. Unfortunately most of the time we get as much justice as we can afford. The cost of an attorney would be more than the fine an fees involved. However, (keep on reading help is on the way) if you have a life;s event plan your attorney will go to court with you.

Let's go back to the beginning when you got the ticket, When the officer approaches your vehicle he will likely ask you one of two standard questions:

• Do you know why I stopped you? -- Your response is, “No officer, I don’t.”

• Do you know how fast you were going? -- here are a couple of responses “I’m not really sure.” or “I wasn’t speeding and I checked my speedometer right before you stopped me.”

The key element here is not to admit anything. You have a right to remain silent but the officer isn’t required to advise you of this right (Mirandize). Do not respond by saying, “Well I think I was doing about 75 when you know you are in a 65 mph speed limit. This is called admitting your quilt!

When the officer asks for your license, registration and proof of insurance tell him where they are located and ask to get them before reaching for anything. If you are in a state which allows concealed weapons, by all means notify him of the weapons location. If your documents are in the glove box or console, get them and close the compartment. This way the officer isn’t worried about you reaching in for an illegal weapon while he is writing your citation. You know your not a nut, but, the officer does not know it. I give him license, registration, proof of insurance and my card from my life;s event plan that ask permission to call my attorney. Included in my plan is (24 hour/7 days a week) number to reach an attorney on the spot.

For more information about this plan send me an email and I will email you a video explaining how you can have an attorney for as little as $ 17.00 a month. Imagine having an attorney to draw up a will, represent you in traffic court, go with you if your audited by IRS, give you unlimited advice on any subject, help you with a depute with your neighbor or landlord and many other things.

UP Jumped the Devil

Last week as I was driving, my friend and I were approaching the intersection when the truck some two hundred and fifty feet ahead of me started to back up. Well he hit me. When the police came he said I hit him and I told the officer he hit me. The police report said, “unable to tell who was at fault”. It looks like I will not get a dime as I only have collision insurance. Now, I have more than the insurance. I have a lawyer. Well, you know what happened next, I called my lawyer.

My truck sustained enough damage that it will be cheaper to buy another 1995 Chevy S10. $1200.0 will buy me another one. My insurance is investigating that’s a good thing. His insurance is silent. My truck is inoperative. A lawyer would want a up front fee before tackling my problem. However, I pay for mine by the month. Good thing as I can't work.

There is a bright side. I took pictures be before the police got there. I got a lawyer giving me advice from day one. In another picture it shows that my truck was a long distance from the intersection. He said, in the police report, he was fifty feet from the intersection. The only the accident could happen is for him to be backing up.

I read motivational story from Jim Rohn's news letter this morning. I want to share it with you.

The caterpillar one day says, “I think I was made for more than this crawling on the ground.” So the caterpillar climbs the tree, attaches himself to a leaf and spins the cocoon. Who knows what disciplined effort it takes to spin a cocoon. But something inside the caterpillar says, “I was designed for something more than being just a caterpillar.”

And then when the cocoon is ready and it opens up, out comes a butterfly that flies away, maybe singing, “I believe I can fly! I believe I can touch the sky! I used to be a caterpillar on the ground, now I fly.”

I'm not going to stay a caterpillar walking (my truck wont go) on the ground. With my PrePaidLegal attorney “I believe I can fly! I believe I can touch the sky! As in my case “up jumped the devil” but no hill for me to clime alone, I got an attorney.

Motivation Quote of the Day

FROM NIGHTINGALE.COM

"First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas
and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The
beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination."
— Napoleon Hill: Was a lecturer and author of books on achieving success

Dolly Parton Difficult Times Quote - Lyrics on Keeping a Positive Attitude During Hard Times:

"If you're feeling low, don't despair. The sun has a sinking spell every night, but it comes back up every morning. The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain."

~ Dolly Parton

Where is Your Mind

Your mind set is either (A) attracting wealth and happiness 0r (B)  poverty and unhappiness, there is no plan (C)

Count your money and find out which plan you are using.  When you are in a restaurant and you must check the prices you are working plan (B). 

Stop listening to news reports about the crumbling economy

Yes it may be true. Don’t be controlled by negative thinking. In the industrial age you went to school got a job and worked 35 or 40 until retirement. That’s over now it’s a hole new ball game. Factories are belly-up along with the retirement money. Steel workers, air line pilots and machine operators along with many others are out of work. Today those who own there own business can control there future. You have no paycheck for forty hours, but, with hard work you get to keep the profit. No cut for the boss. Be positive, and this altitude will see you through. Instead of saying the economy is bad. Believe it’s an opportunity.

AAA-0

During World War II General Bradley gave(Paddy) Flint command of the 39th Infantry Regiment in Sicily, in an attempt to breathe some life into the men who had shown signs of sluggishness. When Flint's first showed up his helmet and jeep was stenciled "A A A-0". These letters stood for "Anything, Anytime, Anywhere bar nothing. Within a few days the symbol caught on and the 39th had painted "A A A-0" on every helmet and vehicle in the regiment!

The German's who fought the 39th Regiment in Sicily got the impression that this was a crack assault. They reported to the German High Command that the crack forces of the United States Army wore the strange "A A A-0" symbol". The regiment became a crack fighting unit they fought Anything(German troops/tanks), Anytime, Anywhere Bar Nothing.

TODAY WE WILL LIVE AAA-0 AS IF THIS WAS THE LAST DAY OF OUR LIFE
