We had a workshop recently. One of the activities is to write about others. Each of us were given a big piece of paper to be placed at the back of us and we were are given a marker pen to write about the good points of our office friends.

The photo above shows all about the lady. She is "peramah" (Talkative or Approachable), Hardworking, Helpful, Good Leader, Teamwork, a Thoughtful Person, etc.

After about 20 minutes of music and the fun going around writing on as much as possible about our office staff, it's time to get back to our seats and look at what our friends wrote about us.

How does these words make you feel? These words really make you feel good.

Whether you know it or not, these positive words either make you realize about the good things that you possessed or make you change the way you look at others. (that is to look at others in a positive way – Look at the good side)

Today, almost the end of January 2010, I just bought myself a diary. I haven't plan anything for this year. Perhaps, I was too busy doing something else and didn't locate time for myself. Perhaps, I'm making an excuse for myself. Some may also say that I might not even make my new year's resolutions. I actually have them in my mind, but I haven't put it down on paper.

Anyone who also has something to change in their life and its a new year 2010 and new year brings new commitment, something one wants to change to be better than the year before. Anyone can get out of their normal routine and improve at any time one likes. It doesn't have to be a new year to start a new lifestyle.

Now, I'm putting them down on paper, not any piece of paper, it has to be reviewed everyday, the moment I wake up in the morning and at night, before going to bed. I choose a Diary to put down my goals and resolutions for the year.

After work today and it is Saturday, I just pop into Popular Bookstore and this is the only type of diary left in the shelves. The good diary or the better one are all sold out! Not to waste anymore time, I just grasp it and move to the counter. It's a simple looking Diary, not too big, just nice and it's only RM7.95

There is one saying, " People Don't Plan To Fail, But They Fail To Plan."

When someone mentioned the word "Bata", the first thing that comes to our mind is, it is a shoe! A well known shoe Brand. 

Here is a story my dad used to tell during his MLM presentation. This is how is goes…

Once upon a time, there was this Manager of a Shoe Factory asking 2 guys to go to Africa to sell shoes. All costs of the trip and accomodations will be paid, so off they go for two days to Africa.

The first guy came back, and told the boss " African don't wear shoes!!!". Boss, "we can't sell shoes to them

because they don't wear shoes."

The second guy came back and told the boss "African don't wear shoes!!!", Boss "quickly sent a trailer of shoes over there

because they don't wear shoes."

Same situation but 2 different outcome from both guys.

Today, the people in Africa wear shoes, all kinds, like Nike, Reebok, etc…

The first guy was looking at the negative side of things and the second guy was looking at it, on the positive side.

When you want to cook some dishes or you want to boil your drinking water early in the morning, you should heat it up the stove and leave it until your food is cooked or until the water is boiled.

Can you switch it off and turn it on again, and switch it off and then turn it on again and expect the food to be cooked and the water to be boiled?

You can't. No way you can expect want you wanted.

You have got to switch the gas on all the way until it materialised!

You have got to do what you do best everyday until you reach your goal.

Same goes, when you are pursuing your goal in MLM business. You have got to stay consistent at what you are doing.

Many MLMers talked about the right things a successful people should do and they do it every single day without fail. They are the one who will be successful. 

All men stands equal until someone realizes the unlimited wealth within himself called HUMAN POTENTIAL. His realization soon leads to the understanding that HE MUST STRUGGLE HARD to bring out that POTENTIAL and a SELF-BUILDER is born :

* He takes charge of his own life and accepts personal responsibility to bring himself up the ladder of society in order that he may one day SERVE HUMANITY as a LEADER.

* He learns by Observations and LEADS by Example.

+++ A SELF-BUILDER IS A LEADER OF LEADERS +++

Let’s talk about people.

When it comes to this topic, most of us call it gossiping. Its a norm. Nevertheless, it is important to know too.

You know your friends very well. No doubt about it. Before doing your presentation to your friend / prospect or sometimes, while you are doing your presentation to share your MLM business, you will notice very clearly the type of person you are talking to by the way they present themselves, their responses.

MLM people will be able to notice whether their prospect can be named as Mr. Security, Mr.Recognition or Mr. Achiever or combination of some of those personalities.

You can observe from the way they speak, the lifestyle they lead and their perception about business. 

Let’s see a few of the characteristic of :

Mr. Security

- scare of losing their job, feeling of contentment, loyal to their job, in a comfort zone, not used to doing business, never try any venture, give up early and never want to try anymore, hold on tight to their job, work in the office is their priority, don’t want any headache, heartache to manage business, etc…

Mr. Recognition

- want to be well known by many people, want to be famous, glamourous, status is important (can see from name in their call cards), no financial gain is alright for these guys as long as they got the name, they want to be the center of attraction, etc…

Mr. Achiever

- they have goals to strive, if they are not known to many, it doesn’t matter at all, focus and self-driven, dare to take calculated risk, taking chances, look for opportunities and act, etc

Nothing is good or bad about these people. They are who they are. You and I can’t change that. It will be insane.

But, one thing is for sure, people can improve.

They are Mr.Security and after a few years, you are surprised to know that they have become Mr. Achiever.

" Winning is not sometime thing;

It’s An ALL THE TIME Thing.

You don’t win once in a while,

You don’t do things right once in a while,

You do them right all the time.

                                         A HABIT."

Action is as essential to success in life as flour is a component part of breadmaking. 

Without action, there can be no successes. Once we have determined the goal, formulated a workable plan for its attainment, and resolved, with a firm determination, to achieve the object of our heart’s desire, we must act at once.

We must embark upon the journey and follow the plan. We must put our best foot forward at once. Purpose must be followed by action.

Activity is the law of all growth.

We can never hope to take out of life more than we put in to it.

"The mind always fails first, not the body. The secret is to make your mind work for you, not against you"

I saw this meaningful sentence, while I was viewing Arnold Schwarzenegger video on youtube. It surely tells us the results he has got. He gain fame as a professional bodybuilder. He won the Junior Mr. Europe contest in 1965 and that was the start of a long career in bodybuilding.

In 1970 he won his first Mr. Olympia title. He also won the contest the following years 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974 and 1975. He is 5 times Mr. Universe and 7 times Mr. Olympia. He went into acting and now into politic. Arnold’s determination and mind power puts him to where he is now.

Our action derives from our thoughts. What we have in our mind will bring it into action. Our mind is our most valuable asset. We are actually using so little of our mind than we possibly could.

When it comes to our mind, there are two things that we should be aware, that is either we think positively or negatively. If you think positively, you achieve positive results. If you think negatively, you achieve negative results.

This is one valuable lesson, which I learnt some time ago and I can never forget. 

I was doing a MLM business which requires quite a big start up capital and the product was very unique too.

I still could recall that night, I was doing a presentation to a friend in her house. What was shown to her was only the product and I only emphasize on the features and the benefits. I wanted to only sell the product to her.

No business presentation was shown to her, even I knew the Marketing Plan very well. I made the biggest mistake meeting a prospect and never show her the most important part of the business, the Marketing Plan.

Why didn’t I present to her the Income part? I was making assumption that she won’t be interested and moreover the business start up requires a big sum of money.   

Do you know what had happened?

A few months after that meeting, she joined that particular MLM company. I felt more frustrated, when I heard that she was doing it fulltime!

I have learnt my lesson and never make any assumption. Show both the product and the business, especially the business. 

Why? 

Everyone is looking for money. Anyone would do something to make some extra income. And they will do anything to earn money to accomodate their desired lifestyle.

So my friend, its a must to show your MLM prospects both the product and the business. (Marketing Plan)
