Here is an extract from the Blog of Michael Oliver - a generic Sales Trainer in the network marketing industry. He has THE KEY to building a successful business which will not suffer from the usually high attrition rates that most do these days. I have referred to him before now and no doubt will in the future. He has fantastic advice for anyone who is open to learning, especially how to improve communication between people in any situations eg in relationships, work and anywhere you want to make an impression or want to persuade someone to change their mind/behaviour. I recommend reading his book which you will see if you visit his blog on the link below.


" . . . If you want a successful business, then having an enthusiastic
and motivated team is essential. Ideally, your team would be
made up self-starters.

Unfortunately, many network marketers find themselves spending a
lot of time working with their team to keep them on track. That
means building your business can be more stressful and time
consuming than it needs to be.

However, there's a simple, yet very profound, thing you can do
when you first talk with a potential partner. It will pay big
dividends for both in that you won't have to continually
encourage them or follow up with them to make sure they're doing
what they said they would.

As a result, you'll save time and have a more productive team.

To discover the key to an enthusiastic, self-motivated and
productive team, read this week's newsletter. Simply click on the

Living in the Present

Can anyone learn to sing? (or dance, or play piano, or learn anything new for that matter )

Of course they can.

Does it matter how old you are?

While muscles are more difficult to develop as we get older, age is far less a factor than is mindset. However, age is indeed a terrific excuse.

The question really is: are you willing to let go of judgment and allow yourself to experience something new? So, a rapid learner is involved in curious exploration and discovery.

In contrast, a quick-fix mentality seeks external rewards. The goal is to seek internal rewards. Internal motivation is far more powerful than external motivation. Since rapid learners are involved in the process, they are also engaged in the present moment. Judgment and anticipation are reflections on the past and the future, respectively. Awareness is just that; being aware of the here and now - without judgment or anticipation. The present moment is where rapid learning takes place and where peak performance occurs. The rapid learner and the peak performer may love results. There is nothing wrong with that. However, they learn that the way to achieve remarkable results is to love the process.
