This is number eightteen in the Master Networker series. If you happened to miss the first seventeen publications, you can retrieve them at: http://masternetworker.com/mailfiles/mailfile.html or you can retrieve them by email from the auto-responder: MasterNetworker-Issue#.txt@masternetworker.com Substitute the desired issue number in place of the "#" Example: mailto:MasterNetworker-Issue17.txt@masternetworker.com *********************************************************************** I hope everyone out there had a LOVEly Valentine's Day. I certainly did. My wife is my valentine and she keeps reminding me why I am her Valentine and have been for 25 years. We even had "Essential Oils" to enjoy this year and I can honestly recommend them for your health, enjoyment and general well being. *********************************************************************** This is a reminder that the Master Networker series is purposely set up for the beginning networker or for those considering networking or even for networkers who have yet to be successful in networking. This means that The Master Networker series covers basic networking principles with the purpose of developing a firm foundation for networking. "The Master Networker" will be void of information that will thrust you to a $90,000 income within 90 days or a $15,000 monthly income without doing any work. Why? Because that isn't how networking works. I've been in networking for twelve years, and I have yet to meet anyone who has obtained networking riches without working for it . . .especially $90,000 in ninety days. This series is about the real world of networking. ********************************************************************** THE ART OF BUILDING A BUSINESS" . . . ===> IN NETWORK MARKETING YOU, TOO, CAN BECOME A LEADER <=== THINK POSITIVE Determination and positive thinking will go a long way towards your achieving your goal. You are what you think you are. Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're right. It will take a lot more than just wishing. It takes time, work and money to build a business with a residual income. By work, I don't mean simply sponsoring and doing very little esle. Once you sponsor people into your business, it is then that your real work begins. The four words - "sponsor", "motivate", "train", and "teach" - say alot about what must be done. It's really a cycle . . . sponsor - motivate - train - and teach others to sponsor, motivate and train. When you are effectively sponsoring, motivating, training and teaching others to do the same, that is when you are a leader. SET A GOAL How many times have you heard this? You need to set goals and you need to achieve those goals. Goals much be achievable, but must make you stretch to reach them. Your first goal is to become a $100 achiever. Your second goal is to become a $200 achiever. Your third goal is to become a $300 achiever. . . and on and on and on . . . right on up the ladder to the $1,000 or $5,000 or more level. Remember - an achiever is a person who gains and maintains a specific level of achievement for three months in a row. If you quit, you quit. That's all she wrote! It's all over, done, finished, through, the end. Have you ever wondered why some people never seem to get anywhere? It's because they give up on themselves, but they usually blame it on others and other circumstances. The difference between a leader and a person who quits is the leader has failed many times, but never did quit. The leader turned his failures into valuable experiences to continue on. Just remember - you may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you fail to continue to try. Plan your work and work you plan and if that doesn't work, set up another plan and work it until it get what you want! A RESIDUAL INCOME IS WORTH MUCH MORE A $100 or $1,000 residual income is not the same kind of income that you would earn by selling something or working for someone. It is alot harder to earn, but when you've got it made, you've really got it made, because it's an income that just won't quit even when you do. When network marketing really starts working in your organization, you will make money even if you don't want to! That's when I say you will make money even while you sleep. Teamwork is so important. working together means winning and achieving together. If it is your goal . . . if it is your quest . . . if it is your passion to reach the unreachable, team up with four other leaders and together you will all become achievers, super achievers, and thereby stars in your own right. It doesn't get any better than that. YOUR LEADERSHIP ABILITIES Your leadership abilities can be developed or improved through the use of mental imaging. I have used it and it works. Successful people in many fields use imaging. Practice makes perfect and so can mental rehearsal. Research shows mental practice can have the same effect as real practice. In many ways the brain doesn't know the difference between a concrete and an imagined event. By creating mental images for success, you are, in fact, creating memories. You are creating a new model of behavior. Among business leaders and sports greats (and many others), peak performers use mental imaging to form mental images of the future. A detailed mental image of success is more than just wishful thinking. A daydream typically has gaps in it, as we jump immediately to our goal. In the visualization process, we imagine the building blocks and proceed step-by-step to the desired result. Helpful as it is, however, imaging isn't a substiture for action, but a supplement to it. Getting into the right mood adds creativity. Think about a happy period of your life. Slide into imaging what you want to achieve. Make the experience as real and detailed as you can. Take it from the beginning through to successful completion. Among the strongest applications of mental rehearsal are everyday business concerns: sales calls, emailing responses, phone calls, answering the mail, etc. Norman Vincent Peal, inspirational speaker and author of Positive Imaging, recommends visualization for personal relationships as well. ======================================== We create our tomorrows - by what we dream today. - Anon- ======================================== Don't expect instant results. Imaging takes real effort and practice. The most important thing is to make creative visualization a regular part of your life. Most people seem to find it works best when they practice a little every day. Also, don't be disappointed if your images aren't clear. As your comfort with imaging increases, involved more of the senses. If you can see, hear, touch, smell and taste your goal, the results will be that much better. I have said this many times before: If you really want to become highly successful at doing something specific, you must want it so badly that you literally think about it all the time - so much, in fact, that, figuratively, you must eat it, sleep it and drink it. Nobody knows precisely why mental rehearsal works, but those who put it to use are convinced it does. To support the claims, research shows that injured athletes who continue their practice sessions through mental imagery while recuperating, reach their former levels of performance more quickly after recovery than do injured athletes who only wait until they have healed to resume practicing. "When applied steadily," says Norman Vincent Peal, "it helps solve problems, strengthens personalities and greatly enhances the chances for success in any endeavor. One note of caution, however! Watch what you ask for; you might get it! =================================== Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. - Anon - =================================== I have one more suggestion in you want to become a leader. Read as many books and magazine articles as you can. Especially helpful are motivational books and tapes. ***************************************** Books & Materials on Multi-Level Marketing Go to the Multi-Level section. http://www.ohio-usa.com/books ****************************************** This week's one liner ---------------------------------- Actual Help Wanted Ad: Man invited to work in dynamite factory.

I just open his bedroom door and drop the cat on his bed." "Humph," said the other mother, "that would never wake up my boy." "It certainly does mine," said the first. "He sleeps with the dog." ************************************************************ Any suggestions for Master Networker articles?
