Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life

I was thinking about the few six-figure income earners I've had the fortune of knowing and listening to for the last 5 years. They've inspired me to write this article.

The time has come for people to start changing the way they think. With all the doom and gloom on the rise in the print media as well as television, it's no wonder everyone is running scared.

The recession is upon us (is it really, or is it just for banks and the government?) and people are being more careful with their money and their lifestyle. Ask yourself, is this really true or am I being sucked into the drama frenzy of the media? What's really changed? You still have your job, your family, your bills, your house, and the sun still shines.

Now, as you think about all this, you're literally starting to feel sick to your stomach because you feel there's nothing you can do about any of this. This is where you're wrong!

I know of one industry that is booming because everyone in it thinks it is, therefore, they believe it is and they go out and do their "thing". If you were to ask any network marketer who's earning a six-figure income if they were in a recession, what do you think they would say? Their answer would be "Of course not, my business is thriving right now!" Why is that?? The answer to that question is a KEY concept people need to understand. Network marketing is a PEOPLE business. The income earned "paychecks" network marketers earn is based on the activities of people who interact with one another. The paycheck does not depend on the government or anyone else in control other than themselves and the company in which they're affiliated.

Think about this, there are more people on this planet than there are in the government, which group of people would you make money from? Then the question of how much money can be made comes to mind. That's the variable factor in every opportunity out there on the market today. However, this really depends on your efforts and what you're willing to do to make the money you want to earn. The reason I say this is because some people just want to make a few bucks to put away for Christmas shopping, some want to invest some of it to put into a college fund for their children, some want to make the top ranks, and then there are those who want to live their dreams. Which category of people do you see yourself in? A better question would be, "What is your core desire and what will it take for you to earn what you want?" That's what those six-figure income earners thought before they took their first step to get where they are today.

The next step would be, to find a company that has products/services that appeal to your values and what's important to you and your family. When you evaluate their pay plan this is where you see if the marketing tools/ideas are something that's aligned with the skills you already have and if there's room to grow by learning new skills. The trick to evaluating a pay plan is to figure out what kind of marketing techniques you'll need to use that are comfortable for you to reach the results you want. This will then lead to the money you desire.
One thing to keep in mind, the speed in which you reach your goals is in relation to how driven you are to reach them. This isn't to say it will take a week or a year or even 5 years to earn six-figures, it simply means that your excitement/desire, focus, actions, and follow-up will determine the speed at which you achieve your six-figure income.

So I ask you, are you in a recession or is your focus on the bigger picture of where you want your life to be?
