Friday Fuel-up!

The flight attendant leaned forward and quietly

whispered to me, “I’m looking for her.”

   We were on a short one-hour flight from

Bemidji, Minnesota to Minneapolis. The commuter

jet only carried 31 passengers and I happened to be in

the first row. When the flight attendant sat down, she

was literally face-to-face and knee-to-knee with me. In a

space that small, I thought I might as well have a pleas-

ant time with this person I was looking at directly. After

chatting for a few minutes, she shared her search with

me.

The flight manifest indicated that one passenger was

the same individual who was in the national news that

week—a single 21-year-old whose life had instantaneously

been irrevocably and dramatically changed. Four days

earlier, she won the entire Powerball Lottery for over 150

million dollars.

When the flight landed, I stood there at baggage claim

surveying the small group of passengers trying to guess

which individual had just stumbled into wealth. I would

have enjoyed meeting this young woman and having the

opportunity to congratulate her. I was excited for her

because I love to see people win . . . even when it happens

only because of luck. Curiously, I could not pick out from

this small group of people the one whose life was now so

different. Every young woman on the flight looked equally

capable of being the winner.

In network marketing, the same thing is true  —

in a group of ten or 1000 people, everyone is equally capable

of being a winner. This is the aspect of our business I find

so fascinating. Anyone can have his or her life and finan-

cial circumstances wonderfully transformed. Age, education, experi-

ence, and economics do not determine who sits in the win-

ners’circle. 

But I find that most people, including those who come

out of the finest MBA programs, have never been taught

how successful people work, how entrepreneurs think,

and how wealth is earned. Without this knowledge, people

often get involved with network marketing, work as hard

as they can with total sincerity, and see only minimal

results. In the process, success becomes an elusive goal,

an unsolved riddle, and a mystery.

Mike and I LOVE Dr. Tom Barrett:  in my opinion he is the foremost motivator I've ever listened to -- or read.  If you haven't read Dr. Tom, look for one of his speeches or books and enjoy!  And you might find us featured in one of them...

***********

And, NO, YOU don't have to read Dr. Tom, or anyone else, in order to create a great income with your MG business.

I just enjoy a good motivational kick-in-the-derriere every now and then... like this:

KEEP GOING!!

FROM THE INBOX:

"My Merchant account has completed the EPI SAQ Wizard and has eliminated up to $240.00 in extra fees from the account yearly.

 

It took less than 10 minutes to complete this Self Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) and avoid the monthly compliance fees.

And: 

"Barb and I  have been in various bizzes over the past 60 years and each one required capital, commitment, dedication, focus, etc. Some required employees, leases, huge financial risks and long term obligations.  The first 38 years were consumed in various traditional types of biz which really required entrepreneurial types.
These past  22+ years have been in direct marketing industry and anyone can enjoy this biz.  This industry is least expensive to join with biggest potential Income and no risk.

Now here comes a 15 year old company in a 4 trillion dollar industry (USA only) that decided to add a network marketing division, the first and only such company in this industry.  They invited us to help them develop the "perfect" opportunity:  cheapest-quickest payout-highest residual.

So here we are- less than 90 days since beginning and just yesterday, one of our personal Agents (more from him later) enrolled a company that  processes  OVER $8 million in revenue annually. The merchant loves the savings on processing fees that MG will save them.

The monthly residual is unreal.

Barb and I had highest residual in one company that had over two million reps and 20 million customers, so we know true residual.  Anyone reading this info needs to contact the person who sent it to u or contact us.
Remember this business fact:

EVERY GREAT COMPANY  HAS ONLY ONE BEGINNING.

I invite you to be part of MG."

Mike Lammons, Pacific Accounts Manager, Merchant Guard

Here's a little motivational tip of the day  (thank you, Time Magazine).

To get some merchant statements, you know you just need to go share your MG flyer with biz card with some local merchants.  And you think that's a great idea and sounds simple and do-able... even sounds like fun.  

But you're the type of person who requires emotion to trigger motivation.  Here's the tip:

So treat yourself whenever you complete something on your to-do list. (Yes, this is how you train a dog but it will work for you too.)

Having trouble finding a reward awesome enough to get you off your butt? Try a “commitment device” instead:

Give your friend $100. If you get a task done by 5PM, you get your $100 back. If you don’t complete it, you lose the $100.

Your to-do list just got very emotional.

I'll SAY!!  Give your teenager that $100 to hold in escrow so you'll stop by 5 merchants before 5pm and watch your residual grow!

WOO HOO!  Go Team!
