It’s a New Year and everyone is setting their goals and resolutions. They are trying to lose weight, get out of debt, start their own business, and the list goes on. But none of this can happen without visualization and harnessing the power of Success Thinking.

Now if you don’t know what success thinking is then let me explain. Success Thinking is creating positive, forward-looking, optimistic pictures in your own mind and in the minds of others.

When you are a success thinker it resonates in everything that you do from your words, to your body language, to your actions. Success thinkers understand that words are the raw materials of thought and those words are projected into pictures of sorts in your mind. That is why it is important to practice using big positive words to describe how you feel, to describe other people, and to encourage others. Those pictures determine how you and others react to situations. In other words if your pictures are positive then that is how you will react, if you have negative pictures than your reactions will be negative.

Success thinkers also understand the power of visualization. They always visualize what can be done in the future instead of being stuck in the present. See being stuck in the present indicates small thinking and will hinder your success for the future. Don’t let unimportant things stop you from achieving your goals. Think big and none of the little things will hold you back.

See when success is concerned your background doesn’t matter it is the size of your thinking that determines the size of your accomplishments.

How to enlarge your Success thinking

In order to be a success thinker it is important to train yourself to see not just what is but what you can be. You have to be willing to practice being a Success Thinker by looking beyond your current circumstances and taking the proper actions that will enable you accomplish your goals.

You can do this by first developing your own power to see what can be and not just what is. Developing your power can be done through what I call ‘amplifying excellence’.

In the following exercises, I will show you how you can amplify excellence by practicing adding value. You will learn how to expand your success thinking and become more attractive just by taking a few minutes out of your day.

Exercise 1

Practice adding value to yourself. Take the time daily to conduct an interview with yourself and ask, “What can I do to make myself valuable today?” Then take the time to visualize yourself not as you are but what you can be. This will get your mind trained to think about how you can achieve your goals. You will be surprised on how fast the ideas will start pouring in and how much more value you attain for yourself.

Exercise 2

Practice adding value to people. As you create more and more success your job becomes more of ‘people development’. So you want to ask yourself, “What can I do to add value to my subordinates? What can I do to help them be more effective?” See you want to bring out the best people and show them how to do the same. The more you add value to people the more they are going to want to be around you and work with you. But remember, in order to bring the best out in a person first you must be able to visualize their best.

Exercise 3

Practice adding value to your products and services. You want to ask yourself, “What can I do to make my products and services more valuable? What can I do make my business more attractive?” You want to look for ideas to make things worth more. See you can have the same product as your counterparts but if you have more to give with that product then people will be more inclined to purchase from you.

Success thinkers see themselves as part of a bigger picture. They want to help in every way they can (even when there is no immediate compensation or reward) because they understand that long term success stems far beyond the initial sale. See Success thinking takes practice, focus, and persistence to achieve the BIG objective.

So use 2010 to start or broaden your success thinking. Don’t sell yourself short. Take the time to stretch your vision into areas of the unknown. Practice adding value to yourself, people, and your products and services. Most of all focus your attention on the big objectives. Don’t let any petty matter deter you from your goals.

Create Success By Thinking BIG Success!

Happy New Year!

The majority of your work as an internet marketer involves conversation. Conversation is the catalyst of your business because it is where you begin your relationships with future team members and business partners. But in order to have successful outcome to every conversation you must ask yourself a few questions first…

~ What is your purpose for the conversation?

You want to determine what you want to accomplish within the conversation. What is your ideal outcome? Also, be sure to enter the conversation with a supportive purpose.

~ Are you making assumptions about the prospects intentions?

In the network marketing industry you may encounter people that seem like they are going to take action but don’t and people who seem laid back but are your best producers. It is hard to read a lot of people so it is best not to make any assumptions on what people will do.

~ What is your attitude towards the conversation influencing your perception of it?

The attitude you take towards the outcome of each conversation will affect the outcome that you get. So if you believe that whatever happens something good will come from it then that will like be the case.

~ Who are your customers?

You have probably heard this a thousand times but you must know your niche market. Trying to have a conversation with a sheep herder about mechanics won’t get anything accomplished. You want to know their needs and fears so that you are able to provide them a solution to those issues.

~ Are you contributing to the problem or the solution?

In any conversation you want to contribute to the solution. You want to make it easier for the customer to achieve their goals.

FYI, if your solution is a business opportunity then you won’t have many customers coming back for help. Most people view another opportunity as part of the problem. Most people are already struggling in a business opportunity and they don’t want to have to spend more money to continue to struggle. If you give solutions then they will view you way more valuable than the current person they are working with and eventually move to your team.

After you determine your purpose of conversations you will not have to worry about it ever again.

4 Steps For Every Conversation

A lot of internet marketers become very nervous when having conversations with potential customers (especially over the phone) but it can be a fun relaxing experience.

When starting a conversation it is important to be confident in what you are saying. If you are nervous and scared the prospect will perceive it as you don’t know what you are talking about. So before starting any conversation you want to breathe and put your self in a calm centered state. Also, take notice of when you become off-center so that you can get back to that calm place if needed. With you being in a calm centered place your prospects will also be calm and more comfortable talking with you.

Now centering is not a step, it is where you should be when you take your steps.

Step 1 – Inquiry

Create an attitude of discovery and curiosity. Try to learn as much as possible about your prospects point of view. What do they really want? What are they not saying?

It is important to let the prospect talk uninterrupted. Don’t take anything personally…they are not frustrated with you but instead with their situation and lies that they have been told. In this step your job is to listen and learn as much as possible.

Step 2 – Acknowledgement

This step is where you will start to develop their trust. This is where you will acknowledge what they have said and let them know that you understand what they are saying. To clarify, explain to them how you interpreted what they are looking for. Guess at their hopes and honor their position. You don’t to agree with what they said but respect their opinions.

Step 3 – Advocacy

When you feel like they have expressed all of their concerns then it is your turn to respond. In this step you want to clarify your position without minimizing theirs. Basically, let them know who you are and what you do (briefly) and then go into solutions you have for their problems.

Step 4 – Problem Solving

This is when you began to provide solutions. You may need to continue to inquiry to see what is best for your prospect. Brainstorm with them ask them, make them feel involved. Uplift and show them that you are confident and willing to help them achieve their goals.

Now you are ready to getting started in some great conversations. Practice the steps that I have outlined here and you will be well on your way to creating long lasting relationships and business partners. Just remember, the art of conversation is like any art of talent…the more you practice the more skill you have and the easier it is.

I woke ups this morning at 4 am with the hopes of getting some (if not all) of my Christmas shopping done. While I was shopping I realized how I had really transformed my life by opting to follow my heart, overcome my fears, and challenging the status quo.

Whether you know it or not you can also change the status quo. You can break those barriers of doing “the right thing” that the world has place around you. Unfortunately, many people don’t realize they have this ability. They are so consumed with fear of change and the unknown that they are holding themselves back from pursuing their true dreams, passions, and desires.

Fear and change should not be a reason for not accomplishing your goals. It should be fuel to motivate you and challenge the status quo. It is critical to stay engaged, passionate, and seek power from within in order to reach your full potential. Life is WAY to short! There is not enough time in life to be unhappy and mediocre. That is why pushing through that box is ESSENTIAL to your success.

Changing The Status Quo

Remember when you were in high school and there were all of these expectations people had for you. You were expected to follow the status quo…go to college, get a good job, and work for someone for the rest of your life. Remember?

In high school this seemed like the only way to a successful life. Now I am not saying you can’t be successful by going this route because I have gone to college and got that job. But my heart was not there. I didn’t have a desire to work for someone else.

Now I am positive there are many people that feel the same way but they are scared to challenge the status quo. They are scared to pursue their true desires and passions. That is unfortunate for them because life is full of possibilities and opportunities. Just look at Oprah Winfrey. Oprah is known all over the world but she didn’t start out that way. She started with a dream and the desire to do more and the more successful she became the bigger her dreams and desires got. Now she has a very large following and people love to talk about what she is doing. The same goes for the big names of the network marketing industry. They started in the same position you are in right now but they opted to change the status quo and break through that barrier that was holding them back. They made a decision to pursue their dreams. You can make that same decision…the decision to be remarkable, the decision to change the status quo.  

Be Remarkable

You have the opportunity to be remarkable just by changing the status quo but it requires commitment. It involves reaching out to others and putting your ideas on the line. It requires believing in yourself even when the people around you do not.

See you have the ability to change the world around you, lead people, and give them a reason to be a part of something great. But it’s easy to give in to your fear and tell yourself that you don’t have what it takes to be remarkable. Do not give these thoughts fertilizer to grow because the truth is people are not born remarkable they do things to make themselves remarkable. It’s a choice, not a gift!

In order to have all the advantages and opportunities that life has to offer, you must uphold an obligation not to settle. It’s time to change the rules, raise the bar, play a different game, and play it better than anyone believes is possible. That’s the difference between being remarkable and mediocre. That is how leaders are born.

Why Not You, Why Not Now?

Right now at this moment you have everything you need to achieve your goals. You have everything you need to be a leader but you insist on playing today’s game by yesterday’s rules. The problem is the skeptic among you looks at the idea of leadership and hesitates. You hesitate because it feels like something you need to be ordained to do. But the truth is there are no barriers on leadership. You don’t have to have permission or approval to lead. You can just do it. The only one who can say no is you.

To be a leader you don’t have to be the smartest, the richest, or have the best education you just have to be willing to say yes. For instance, John McCain was fifth in his class (from the bottom) at the US Naval Academy and Ghandi was a lawyer in South Africa but they chose to lead, be part of a movement, and challenge the status quo.

So why not you, why not now?

Take The Lead

Sounds easy, right?

That’s because it is. You may not realize it but you have far more power than you could ever imagine. One person can change the game. One person can create a movement. The only thing that can hold you back from taking the lead and becoming the kind of person that changes things is this: LACK OF FAITH!

Faith is a key element in creating change. You have to believe that you can do it and that it is worth doing. If you don’t have the faith then people won’t follow you because you don’t believe you can get where you say you’re going. Faith is your life line as a leader. It is critical to all innovation.

But don’t be misleading into thinking that you can lead when you’re not ready just because I say you have what you need. Leadership requires commitment, passion, and the will to overcome your fears. If you are struggling with any of these, this may not be the right time for you to take the lead. Take the follow instead, build up your confidence and lead later.

See leadership comes when your hope and your optimism are matched with a concrete vision of the future and a way to get there. It comes when you create a culture around your goals and involve others. It comes when you communicate your vision and connect your followers to one another.

See leaders embrace change and turn it into opportunity. They make the choice to lead.

Now you also have a choice to lead whether you choose to do so is your decision. But be aware that there are people all over the internet searching for someone just like you to inspire and lead them. You already have all the skills you need to make a huge difference. The great thing is that you don’t have to wait on things to be perfect…you can start right now.

A tribe comes together to share, comment, and view each other’s content. In return, you get more people to your site, more people joining your network, more organic traffic, more backlinks, and more exposure on the internet…you get Tribe Traffic.

My goal for this tribe is to help you get more exposure online, more traffic to your sites, and more people in your business. I want you to be successful.

Success in its broadest meaning is not limited to only monetary and material possessions. It reveals as being plentiful in countless and several forms in life and nature.
 
The universal spirit of consciousness, craves to continuously manifest and express itself; this power likewise expresses its longing to demonstrate success, which is naturally wanting to develop, to grow and become bigger and stronger.

However, many realize this longing and natural inclination for growth repressed in them, because of negative thinking, unconstructive programming, and not having enough faith in their abilities and themselves.
 
Every individual has dual natures. One wants the self to move forward while the other feels like pulling back. The one nature that one concentrates and cultivates on determines what one is at the final end, as both natures tries to hold and to be in control.

One’s “will” resolves the issue alone. An individual by one utmost attempt of the “will” can change one’s whole vocation and accomplish miracles. Which is why having an open mind is very significant. 

One having a closed mind grasps to a concept without much concern for evidence. They might have even reached at their concept without supporting material evidence. As a result, when one is presented with evidence that is contradicting to their concept, they immediately dismiss it.

Whereas one having an open mind before reaching any conclusion, considers first the many evidences approving or disapproving the many interpretations of the concept. They do not just gather information. Their concern encourages them to weigh what they have learned and work towards reaching a decision or conclusion based on facts and evidences. 

An open mind allows one to magnetize opportunities and insist and continue on following opportunities, regardless of how small they appear. An open mind is open to all opportunities and possibilities, big or small.

A closed mind however, is stubborn, wanting what the mind envisions without any delay and wanting it as exactly as what the mind perceived it to be, not willing to accept or try something else in its place, when that which the mind has envisioned can not be accomplished or reached.

When one closes his mind and becomes stubborn, one in essence tells his higher self, including the “powers of the universe” that one is not eager to mature and encounter new things, so then there will be no progress and no transformation and things in one’s life will never have a chance to improve.

Whatever the mind can envision, the mind can create. What the mind sees, believes feels and thinks are all conveyed to the subconscious mind that then works along with the universal forces and establishes your reality centered on the visualization of the conscious mind.

Bear in mind though, that it is not sufficient to merely imagine and hope it materializes. Having the power to imagine means also having the power and the capability to work on it to achieve it. 

You can achieve it when you open up your mind to success and get rid of limiting thoughts. As to how restricted your life may be and what the circumstances present you at the moment does not really matter, because when you decide to change your attitudes and thoughts, and begin to think without notable limitations, your life’s direction will begin to change.

Focus on possibilities, rather than limitations and expand your thoughts to what is that you believe as yourself.

Here are guidelines on how to program your thoughts for success:
 
1. Continuously and abundantly display images of your “model” persons, whom you want to become, and things that you want to accomplish. Read magazines containing stories and pictures of lives that you wish to attain. 

2. Read autobiographies of successful people. Constantly read self-progress materials packed with examples and ideas of women and men who had set goals, overcome hardships and misfortunes and accomplished what they aimed for in the end.

3. Always affirm yourself. In each undertaking, take the time to focus, “close your eyes” and set a clear mental image of the outcome.  Then repeatedly say and claim that you have already achieved it. 

4. Nourish your mind with positive thoughts before sleeping, after waking up, at lunch break, anytime, all the time.  Do not give a chance for negative thoughts to enter into your mind.

Thoughts hold great power. Be conscious of the thoughts that comes into your mind; let the positive in, never entertain the negative.  Open up your mind to possibilities and never be afraid to try; if you fail, take it as an opportunity that you have learned so much from failing and try again.

So…is it?

I know it can be difficult and sometimes overwhelming when you take on the challenge of having a home base business. There is so much to learn, so much to do that you seem to lose yourself and what you stand for in the process.

Well maybe not lose yourself but you are so busy trying to follow someone’s lead that you forget to put your stamp on it.

I have to say, I fell victim to this myself. I was so worried about succeeding and making sure that I did things that my mentor said that I forgot to put my on personalized stamp on it. In other words, my business wasn’t reflecting me, Tasha Palmer. If you wondering who it was reflecting…well I am not sure of that either.

But here is my point…don’t get caught up in “what is right”. You have to be yourself and stay true to yourself throughout this process.

You will here people say that you have to dress professional, talk professional, be professional…Well whatever happened to a little fun and excitement.

Don’t blend in with everyone else…shake things up a little bit. Be different and have fun doing it.

When MLM Lead System Pro first came on the scene it changed the internet marketing world. It gave internet marketers a new way to attract leads and brand themselves. But over the years some may say that MLSP has lost its luster.

Even though I believe MLSP is a great system (when used as a system), I have to admit the more popular it got the harder it was to use the system as a branding mechanism because people so many people were using it. But that it is not all that it is missing.

MLM Lead System Pro lacks true authenticity. It lacks the ability to present people as true leaders in the network marketing industry. And the reason for this is because of the same capture pages, the same sales funnel and emails (which by the way is set up to sale the system), and people have become so dependent on it forgetting that it is suppose to be used to enhance your business…not be your business.

To be effective and a leader in this industry, you have to be authentic and stand out from the crowd but it is impossible to do that if you are representing the same ol’ thing that everyone else in MLSP is representing.

So what do you do?

Sign up for MLSP….I know, I know, let me explain

As stated before, MLSP is a system and it should be used as a system to enhance your current business while also branding you and presenting you as a leader. But in order to do this you must evolve as an internet marketer.

That is why I created the I.N.S.P.I.R.E Marketing Plan.

The I.N.S.P.I.R.E Marketing Plan was designed to empower you and show you how to become a leader while using the MLSP as the tool it is meant to be.  It takes branding yourself to another level. You will receive your own website, new emails, new training, tools, techniques, and even more ways to make income. You will learn how top producers are mending gold from their funnels and how you can do the same but most importantly the I.N.S.P.I.R.E Marketing Plan will show you how to be an authentic leader.  

See if you want to be a leader in this industry, you have to learn to evolve and learn how to give people solutions to their problems and that is what the I.N.S.P.I.R.E Marketing plans strives to help you do.

It’s time to stop working so hard to brand yourself as a leader to only send your prospects into a marketing funnel that doesn’t represent who you are. You have to take it to the next level. We will show you how!

To learn more about what the I.N.S.P.I.R.E Marketing Plan can do for you go to:

Along with the powerful MLSP system and training you will get even more training, more tools, and branding services that will boost your business to the next level and beyond.
