Vision?

The wisest man of his time said, “Without a vision, the people perish”.
If you don’t have a vision for you in 2011 you’ll get to build someone else’s vision.
Does that sound like a good year to you?

Rejection

The most successful people in our business had the most rejections, the most dropouts and faced the most challenges. They refused to give up. They recognized that those challenges were simply stepping-stones to help them become the kind of person that wanted to be.

Most small steps cost you time but not money but when you’re getting started:
You must invest in:
* Marketing materials
* Long-distance service
* 3way calling
* Attending major functions
* Self-development materials .... you absolutely must invest in yourself!

EXCITEMENT

Sorry, I’ve been out of touch for a few days. I do several Freedom Universities every year. Our focus is on the Freedom you can find in network marketing. Freedom may start with just a few extra hundred dollars a month but when people build their checks to $1000 and more a month the real Freedom and excitement kicks in.

Your future?

I always remember Zig Ziglar walking across the stage with the audience hanging on his every word. When he said, “if there is hope in the future, there is power in the present” it was as if I had been hit by lightening. I knew then that I could have a great future and I started first to visualize it and then to build it. Of course my vision of the future was not all that great but it gave me hope and started me on my journey.

Lucky?

Was I just lucky?

Yes I was lucky. I was born in America a country that encourages entrepreneurs.
Yes I was lucky. I had a supportive family that loved me, even though they were convinced that I was a little slow even dumb.
Yes I was lucky. I got a job in a potato chip company. I thought this would be the best job I would ever have. My friends and family thought so too.
Yes I was lucky. One night a good friend invited me to his place to look at a business he was considering.

Yes I took action. I jumped into network marketing with both feet. I made a $5000 (borrowed from my father) commitment.

Yes I worked my new business. I actually went door to door selling those water filters because nobody told me how network marketing really works.

Yes I took advice and followed whatever training I could get.

Yes I listened to motivational, personal growth tapes every second I was in my car.

Yes those personal growth tapes changed me and then my world around me changed.

Hard work

"Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now." - Steven Wright

The nice thing about network marketing is that the hard work we do today building our business pays and pays and pays. Residual (mail box) income is a wonderful thing.

The reason?

Do you realize every rejection you get is there for a reason? Every challenge you face helps you become stronger, develop new skills and become the leader you need to evolve into.
But of course not everyone is willing to stay the course. Many will quit at the first setback or disappointment.
In our business, the only people that lose are the ones that quit.

How can I get it?

“I want to make my dreams my reality. I want financial freedom. I keep hearing all these stories of financial success and I want to do it to. How can I?”

If you want to see change in your life, you have to change. If you look in the mirror you will see the secret, the secret is you. Ok how do I change?”
First decide what you really want, write it down.
Next read it every day.
Then take the small steps that will move you to your goal.

Feel the fear

Every step takes courage:

You may have heard me tell my story. Every time I tell my story, I feel the fear, the hurt, the shame and humiliation I went through as a child and young man with dyslexia.

You can do it. Take your next step.

Courage is not the absence of fear;
courage is to feel the fear and do it anyway.

It's always working

It never sleeps.

The small step philosophy is always working, it never sleeps. It is working for you or against you 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Small steps to the top are those ordinary, simple, mundane, easy-to/easy-not-to steps every day, every day, every day. Those steps are so small, so simple that they don’t really matter.

Oh yes they do! Every step, every step, every step matters!

Who are your friends?

Who do I step with?

What determines your success in life? They say that you will be as successful your five closest friends. The first time I heard this I was amazed but then I thought about it. Sure enough my five closest friends were all in the $500,000 a year plus bracket.

One of my closest friends and mentors was one of the top leaders in my old company. He set a wonderful example of dedication to the business and to his people. He set a high standard for me and I strive to meet it every day.

Think about it:
You will be as successful your five closest friends.

Small Steps

Steps on the Journey;

Every journey is a series of small steps. You say “I’m just going to stand still, no more steps”. It won’t be long before you know that this is a losing proposition.

As Earl Nightingale says, “the road is better than the inn”. Of course we all need the inn, we need to pause, rest, regroup and reset our sails but the real excitement is on the road sometimes winning and sometimes losing but always moving toward our WHY.

I love this from Earl Nightingale.

Never, never, never

Years ago I attended a live seminar by Zig Ziglar.

One of the themes that you must instill in new people is that you "never ever" give up in the face of adversity. I believe that this should be the number 1 theme taught to new people before they get started. If they can't accept rejection they will never succeed in this business. They have to learn to go on to the next person. A "NO" is one of the harshest words for people to accept.

A favorite saying that I keep posted in my home office:
"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up"!

Emotion

You can make the most incredible logical presentation and it goes nowhere.

You can do a terrible but high emotion presentation and it lights a fire.

EMOTION is not jumping up and down and not spending 20 minutes going into detail about your before and after condition.

EMOTION is a deep down knowing and FEELING that you are changing lives. You know and you know that you know that your story transforms lives either through the business or through the products.
This is turned on emotion

Leading

Don’t look for things on the outside to change ... it’s not the government ... it’s not your family ... it’s not your friends ... it’s not your circumstances ... it’s not what happens to you. It’s you, your vision, your plan, your activity.
To lead first yourself and then others you must have the vision and conviction that your dream can be achieved only then can you inspire others to go after their vision. You must be their inspiration and their support.

Your vision?

What is your vision?
How clear is your vision?
How strong is your vision?
Can you describe your vision to a friend?
Could you describe your vision to a prospect?
Your vision is like a road map. It will take you where you want to go.

Put everything you have - heart, soul and body, into every small step, even what seems the smallest of steps.

Do it now.

Take that small step now.

I have always had a drive to get things done. My parents kept talking about putting patio doors in our kitchen but nothing was happening. One day when I was about 14 years old I got home early and surprised them. When they got home from work I had knocked down the wall and we had to go ahead and build the patio doors we had been talking about for so long.

Every step is “a get it done” and it moves you up that stairway.

This is a wonderful affirmation.
“I do it now, I get it done”.

What a day!

AN INCREDIBLE MORNING……. what a step!

That was an incredible morning. One day I was working 10 and 12 hour days at the potato chip plant and when I woke up the next day I was a network marketing leader, earning six figures a month, traveling the world first class.

Now you know that is ridiculous. I worked this network marketing business through all its up and downs, through constant hours of learning, through miles and miles of travel, in small one-on-one meetings, in large thousands meetings. I worked it through all the “no’s”, through all the “no-shows”, through all the disappointments and through all the changes.

It was always one step at a time, one meeting, one phone call, one three-way, one conference call, one more distributor signed into the business.

One step, just one small step.

The small step

There is power in the small step.

The power is in the small step; doing what others won't do. Talking to people and then to more people, making follow-up calls, sending CD’s, DVD’s, arranging 3ways, going to events, everyday, everyday, everyday.

Do the mundane and expect miracles to come from it. The miracles will come. I know I live the miracle every day.

Having the persistence to do the mundane, everyday, everyday, everyday,
explains every heroic and supernatural feat known to humankind.

Take the small steps.

The power in the small step.

How many great accomplishments were accomplished in one bold stroke?

Did we get to the moon in one giant leap or did it take years and years of
thousands and thousands of small steps?

Did the winning team at the superbowl just walk in, play the game and walk
away with the trophy? Of course not, every victory, in any endeavor is always preceded by small steps. The team that wins the super bowl spends far more hours in practice than in the actual games. The road to the super bowl is made up of thousands of small steps.

Your road to success is all small steps.

Don't take that step.

Don’t take that step if someone can take it for you.
Why bother doing something yourself that you don’t love to do and takes up your valuable time and energy?
If it’s a hobby and you love to do it, then by all means, do it. Then it’s recreational.
Always delegate undesirable activities to those who can do them faster and better than you.

The principle is to delegate or stagnate.
Concentrate on what you do best,
pay someone else to do the rest

3way magic

Small steps to greatness
Using the experience and expertise of an upline leader is one of the very best ways to build your business. Why do something yourself if you can use someone more experienced than you, at no cost and learn the process at the same time?
“But I have never done it before. I have never made a 3way call!”
OK! Good! You are out of your comfort zone.
1. Call your telephone company and order 3way calling.
2. Once you have 3way calling, place a call to your up-line and practice the process.
3. Then practice with a friend or a distributor with a call to your upline and 3way them on the call.
In my opinion 3way calling is the most powerful technique and one of the easiest to use to introduce someone to the business.

Remake yourself

When you find the right company, the right product, the right team to work with, when it all comes together you have a challenge. How can you remake yourself to achieve your WHY? How can you remake yourself to help others?

The answer is in the Small Step Philosophy. Take the Small Steps your up-line leaders recommend. Find a successful up-line leader you respect, then listen to them and do what they say. They made all the mistakes and they can help you avoid making the same mistakes.

This is the time to be humble, listen and learn.

The Rat Race

It’s called the Rat Race and even if you win you’re still a rat.

Don't give up! Work harder! Put in longer hours! Make more sacrifices! Eventually you will get there. Do you know anyone who is working hard ..... making very little progress?

QUIT waiting to win the lottery!
QUIT saying "no" to your children’s needs and wants!
QUIT expecting change, when you change nothing!
QUIT spending your life stressed out and unhappy!

OR ...... You can say to yourself “I expect this to be a wonderful day”. “Good, good things are going to happen. I’m going to take some of those small steps to the TOP starting right now”.

After Jack Canfield, co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul saw visualization working big time for him, his wife asked him, “honey, if it worked for a hundred thousand dollars would it work for a million dollars?” Jack said, “I don’t know, let’s give it a try.”

They visualized a check for a million dollars.

At the end of that year they received a check for one million dollars for the first edition of Chicken Soup for the Soul.

Jack Canfield, co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul, wrote a copy of a $100,000 check made out to him and taped it to the ceiling right over his bed. At the time he was just getting by earning $8000 a year. Every morning when he woke up that check was the first thing he saw. That year through the strangest of circumstances he earned ninety-two thousand three hundred three hundred and twenty seven dollars.

Network marketing changed my life in ways that were beyond my imagination.

Second it is the most effective way to get the product to the end consumer.

Third the company pays the people who do the work.

Fourth it means that you can participate in the capitalistic system that built this country.

You don't wake up one morning and suddenly you are a great network marketing leader. You don't suddenly realize that you have changed hundreds of lives perhaps even saved lives or kept people free of debilitating diseases.

Greatness is earned one step at a time. Greatness is found in the small step, in the moment of the decision to act.

"So long as I get somewhere," Alice explained.
"Oh, you're sure to do that," remarked the Cat, "if only you walk long enough."

Small Steps

How big is one small step?

How big is one small step? I'm not talking about a giant step, a leap or some kind or a jump. I'm not thinking about the large steps you take on a stepladder. I'm talking about small steps, the kind of steps you take when you’re walking.

The steps to greatness, the steps to the top in network marketing, are not giant bold leaps, they are small simple steps such as making that follow-up call, handing out a CD, getting someone on a 3way call or a conference call.

The steps to greatness are small steps, consistent steps, everyday, everyday, everyday.

Greatness is in the moment of decision,in your next small step.

Courage

There is courage in the small step;

“Courage is doing what you’re afraid to do.
There can be no courage unless you’re scared.”

There is nothing more important in building your own business than courage.

 It takes courage to decide that you want a better life.
 It takes courage to decide what your WHY is, what you really want from life.
 It takes courage to make that phone call.

If you’re scared that’s normal, we have all been afraid, welcome to real life.

I want to congratulate you on your courage in stepping down a new road in your own business.

Your head?

Every step starts in your head.

Behind every step is a thought. Every step is first a thought. You think about a friend you used to work with and say to yourself “I think I’ll call Bob”.

What happens when you have a thought like this? It attracts other thoughts just like it. “Hey, Bob’s good friend Ed might like this, and I think that Bob’s wife is very big on health, I’ll give Bob one for his wife as well.”

Every step starts in your head.

Your mind!

Whatever step is going on in your mind you are attracting into your life.

Your mind is an incredible tool. It is more powerful than the most powerful computer in the world and it is yours, all yours to use as you see fit.

I was always amazed by Napolean Hills statement that “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve”.

How do you direct your thoughts?
What do you think about most of the time?
What is your very first thought when you wake up every morning?

What do you think about most of the time?

Take it!

“Take the step and you’ll have the power.”

I borrowed this from one of my favorite affirmations, “I do the thing and I have the power.”

This is another great affirmation. How do you learn this business of network marketing? How do you become a good network marketer? How do you become a leader?

The secret is in the doing. It is only by doing it, taking the steps, making those calls, getting out your CD’s, doing 3ways with your prospect and your up-line on the line that you learn how to do this wonderful business.

Do the thing, take the step and you will have the power.

What door?

WHAT DOOR?

Behind what door does the next step on the path to your wildest dreams lay?

As I said yesterday it never lies behind the doors marked, “FREE”, “GIANT STEP”, “GUARANTEE”, "WOW," "SEXY," or "GLAMOROUS."

It lies behind a door marked ‘SIMPLE’ ‘EASY’.

Steps to success in our business of network marketing are as simple, as easy as talking to a friend, handing out a tool, visiting a website with a friend and following up.

Be careful! ‘Easy to do’ is just as easy ‘not to do’.

NO???

Every ‘no’ is a step up.

“No” is a word you will hear frequently as you pursue your dream. “No” comes in different sizes, colors and sounds. Sometimes they are soft, “no, it’s just not for me”.
Sometimes they are harsh, “are you out of your mind? Network marketing don’t you know it’s a scam?” Sometimes they sound so intelligent, “well if this product is as good as you say it is, why don’t they sell it at Walmart?”

Sometimes “no” simply means not now. Sometimes “no” means I don’t “know” enough.

There is magic in every “no”. What is the magic in “no”?

Every “no” leads to a “yes”. If you tell enough people your story you will find the “yes”. Those “yes’s” are there and you will find them when you keep searching.

In my years in network marketing I have heard “no” thousands of times but the “yes’s” I’ve heard make it all worthwhile.

Go out there and collect those “no’s” because you know that every “no” is a step up, a step towards a “yes”.

This is a wonderful affirmation. Why?

Because greatness is in the moment.

Greatness is in the moment of decision.
The small steps you must take to the top of the mountain are easy steps. Success is made up of thousands of small seemingly insignificant steps.

Small, small, steps and they will take you to your goals.

One small step

Small Steps Two Stairways

It's easy, so easy to take those small steps.

What if you don’t take that step? What will happen? Nothing!
Nothing good and nothing bad except a missed opportunity to change a life.

Our business is full of amazing stories of lives changed.

Our business is full of amazing stories of DVD’s, CD's, books, phone calls, conference calls and conversations that brought in the biggest names in the business.

Would you have spoken to a maintenance manager living in a trailer park who had such a painfully low esteem that he would avoid saying hello unless you spoke first?

Whoever took that step changed my life and thousands of lives.

What’s the cost of a missed step?

What staircase? (2)

John, “you talk about that staircase but I just don’t see it. How can I see it? How can I visualize my goals?

Faith always comes first. Taking small steps builds you and your belief. Small steps, everyday, everyday, everyday on the up staircase, toward your dream will take you to success.

The most important small steps are to learn everything you can by being on conference calls, training calls and being at every event.

By far the best way to learn the business is to do the business. Get your upline leader to work with you. The better you do, the better your upline leader will feel.

Faith is taking the first step even when you can't see the staircase.

What staircase?

John, “you talk about that staircase but I just don’t see it. How can I see it? How can I visualize my goals?

When I got started I was maintenance manager in a potato chip factory, working 10 hour days, on-call 24/7 and living in a 14 foot trailer in a trailer park. When I was introduced to network marketing I had no idea what I was doing but it felt right so I borrowed $5000 and jumped in with both feet. I began to take small steps part time everyday to build my business.

After a few months of some success I saw a dream. If I could earn just $3000 a month and be in my own business I would not know what to do with all that money.

Which stairway?

Imagine two stairways; one stairway up and one stairway down.

Now imagine that the steps on both stairways are very, very small steps,
not the normal six inch step but small, small one-quarter inch steps. In
fact the steps are so very, very small that it's hard to even see the slope
up or the slope down.

You may not see the slope but know this, one stairway will take you to the
top and one stairway will take you nowhere.

One stairway takes you closer to your goals with every small step.

The other stairway takes you further from your goals with every small step.

Right now you are on one of these stairways.
If you’re reading this email I assume that you’re on the stairway going up.

Which stairway are you on?

Why was my life never the same again?

The rest of the story.

After Zig told that story I knew that I would never be the same again. I left that auditorium knowing that I could be more than a maintenance manager, more than someone afraid of his shadow, more than someone whose self-esteem was so low that I would not lift up my head to say hello unless you said hello first.

After that talk I was never the same again. That was the small step that changed my life.

We have all been flea trained.

How can a story change a life?

How did this step change my life?

As I mentioned in the last step I went to hear Zig Ziglar speak despite the ridicule of my friends. Zig held up a jar of fleas and said that he was the world’s champion flee trainer. He went on the explain that if you put fleas in a jar they would jump and jump and jump always hitting their heads on the top of the jar. Eventually they would get tired of hitting their heads and they would jump just high enough not to bump their heads. You could take the lid off the jar and they would never jump out.

The purpose of the illustration is to show that we have been flea trained to believe that we cannot get out of the jar. We can’t get a better job. We can’t start our own company. We can’t make it on our own? The failure rate is so high. You won’t make it. We can’t, we can’t, we can’t. You can’t, you can’t, you can’t.

That's what this series is all about. It's about taking small steps to success. There is no quantum leap to success, no sudden breakthrough, you don't wake up one morning and there you are a success. Success is a series of small steps taken everyday, everyday, everyday.

Success “Is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.” It’s progressive, one step at a time, one small step at a time.

The step that changed my life

The step that changed my life:

This is the day that I will remember forever. I was maintenance manager at the Barrel Of Fun Potato Chip plant in Perham Minnesota. I was in the break room having coffee with a few of my friends and I told them that I was going to hear Zig Ziglar speak in Fargo. That was when the kidding really started. Who is this Zig Zag guy? What is he going to tell you, and on and on. But you know what? I went anyway.

Talk to more people

The step is the solution
When I first got started in network marketing selling water filters I met Jeff. Jeff had a very simple answer to every problem. “Talk to more people.”
If you went to Jeff and said “Jeff our product is too expensive”, Jeff would say, “talk to more people.”
If you went to Jeff and said “Jeff I’m not making any money: Jeff would say, “talk to more people.”
If you went to Jeff and said “Jeff I have a problem with our company: Jeff would say, “talk to more people.”

This works. It will work for you.

Say less to more people.
