It always amazes me - the excuses people use to stay stuck in their lives. It really boils down to belief. First of all, belief in deservability. If a person doesn't believe they deserve time and financial freedom, they may as well forget about achieving it. It seems that the more amazingly simple something is, the less people allow themselves to beilieve it.
Next there is belief in an opportunity. We talked to someone today who didn't even fully investigate our products. Yet he decided this business was not for him because he didn't believe in our products. How in the world can someone decide this without even doing their due diligence? Obviously, this person is afraid of success on a level he is not ready for.
So what are our products, you ask. Our cornerstone product is a 90 day personal achievement course. This is a proven product that has improved thousands of lives, including my own. Think about it. If you find something that helps you become the person you were created to be. If you find a vehicle that helps you become a better spouse, parent, and citizen, don't you want to share it? Is there anything wrong with making a decent living by improving the lives of others and therefore the world?
Remember that we all sell something - either a product or a service. I am blessed to sell both. And my product is capable of improving anyone who uses it. And those improvements can be physical, spiritual, financial, psychological, and interpersonally. Wow!! How many products can stake such a claim?
I am eternally grateful to have found this business and this product. I am making a far greater difference in the world now than I ever dreamed of making as a nurse. I pray that everyone finds a way to achieve their dreams and goals. One they believe in and one that is amazingly simple.

This Amazing Business = Our Amazing Life
One week ago Ed and I were on a plane to Los Angeles, California. This was a business trip (i.e. tax deductible) It was also a mini-vacation with some of our dearest friends in the world. We learned a lot about ourselves and our possibilities. One of our friends from Australia was recognized for having earned 1.2 million dollars in 2008, her first year in business.
I am a 54 year-old baby boomer with the freedom to design my days to my liking. And as I spend my days, so do I spend my life. I remember as a child daydreaming about what I wanted to be when I grow up. I thought of such things as president, a doctor, a missionary, and an astronaut. Somewhere along the line, my mind told me to get real. As a result, I settled for less than my original dreams. I succumbed to fear of failure and therefore decided not to succeed.
Thank heaven I woke up before my life here on earth was over. I am still young enough to achieve anything I want to. In the past 2 years, I was courageous enough to leave a job that demanded way more of my life than it gave back. Today, I have the freedom to plan trips, learn new skills, and share an abundant lifestyle with anyone courageous enough to belief that anything is possible.
I am so grateful to God, to my husband, and to our friends for showing us how much fun life really is. I am also grateful to know that I can make a huge difference in the lives of others. If I can make such a change, anyone can.
To your success,

Life Is So Precious So Keep Business Simple
Wow! What an amazing 5 days I have just experienced. On New Year's Eve, our younger daughter, Jessica, gave birth to her firstborn. Liam was born at 5:34 AM at home in a pool of water. Jessica's strength and determination were wonderful to behold. Liam was not small - he weighed 8 pounds 9 ounces. Everyone is healthy and thriving. His cord fell off a short while ago and I have been blessed to be here to cook, clean, walk the dog, encourage, and answer questions. These are good tasks for a Nana.
Pregnancy and childbirth are very complicated from a physiological standpoint. But from a personal standpoint, they are amazingly simple. God created our bodies to reproduce so they do. And he created us to breastfeed our babies so that too happens without our having to think about it or make it happen. It happens naturally because we are made for it to happen. It's only when we start second guessing ourselves and the process that things stop working simply. We somehow think that our bodies are different than all the millions of others in the world. We think that we won't be able to give birth or to produce milk. When you look at this objectively, it is ridiculous. So why do we do it to ourselves?
The same goes for entrepreneurship. Ours is the most simple business in the world. We have a proven 3 step system that everyone follows. We have 3 products that the company handles for us. We have pre-written ads. We have training and mentoring that is superior to any I have ever seen or heard of. Yet, many people are somehow afraid they won't be able to succeed. Never mind the numbers of people who make 6 and 7 figure incomes. Somehow they want to complicate it. So they start focusing on why it won't work for them - marketing and lead generation is diffiicult. They don't have any money to get started. They heard of someone who "tried" a home business and failed.
So like Jessica and childbirth, we can draw our strength and confidence from the vast numbers who have succeeded. We can approach our business positive of success and it will happen. In giving birth, failure is not an option. The baby will be born. This is how I approach my business everyday. I know I have the answer. I have been doing this for 3 1/2 years. I have succeeded and have lots of friends who have succeeded. Whether anyone else believes they can succeed or not is their decision. Success is my daily experience.
I know this business and lifestyle work for me. I know that I didn't have to ask any boss' permission to drive 4 hours to be with my daughter when she went into labor. I didn't have to ask anyone how long I could stay (except my daughter and son-in-law!). I have continued to work when I choose with my cell phone and laptop. And I can come back for a visit anytime I choose. We all deserve this kind of freedom. When did we as Americans decide we had to work for a corporation until we're old or dead?
My time and my life are too precious. This business is too simple for me not to do it.
