Top Ten Events For 2010

Happy New Year Champion, I always reflect at the end of each year on the goals I set out to accomplish.  Some of them I met, and of course some I did not meet. 

I’ve experienced tremendous successes and some I care not to remember failures as well!  I will remember the failures, because in order to experience success, we must go through the halls of failure.  It’s just a fact of life!

The keys to success in life is to set realistic goals, by writing them down, placing those written goals in a place where you can see them each and every day, then take all out massive action to ensure you meet your goals.  That’s what I do, and I highly recommend that you do the same.

The Top Ten Most Memorable Events of 2010 for me are as follows: Read the rest of this entry

Live Your Dreams

As I was driving earlier this morning, this message was laid on my heart and I had to share it with you!  Live Your Dream(s)!

You see, somewhere along the way as we proceed Why is that? 

Life got in the way of our dreams and we stopped dreaming.  Reality then took over.  Whether it was family, jobs, friends, church, school, obligations, and a host of other things.  I want you to know that is okay to dream.  It’s okay to go after your dream.

Here’s why?  Read the rest of this entry

You Always Never Know…

A few years back, I watched and listened to one of my mentors “Coach Tomer” on one of our Saturday leadership shows.  Coach wore a t-shirt that read “You Always Never Know”.  Coach explained where and how that quote came about and what it really meant.  It was a remarkable story…

What I took from the message he shared with us and that I’m sharing with you is…

If you’ve ever been in a situation where you said or felt “I can’t, I feel like quitting, I can’t go on or This ain’t for me”, Coach’s response was You Always Never Know. 

It is a very compelling statement once you think about it.  It’s not just about business, it’s about life in general.  If you fall (and you will), simply pick yourself up, dust yourself off and just keep going and pushing forward.  The very next step that you take could be the one that turns your entire life and family’s lives around for generations to come.

Here an excellent example:  Babe Ruth, one of Major League Baseball’s (MLB) all-time home run sluggers, led MLB in home runs and strike outs.  He never knew if he was going to hit one out of the park or strike out.  His job was to continue stepping into the batter’s box to take his swings and hacks.  He ALWAYS never knew!

The moral or what you should take from this is:  Don’t quit, don’t ever give up, because the next time you step to the plate, it could possibly be your time to shine and hit that grand slam home run that takes you to the top, the tip-top, the very top. 

“You Always Never Know” Coach J.L. Tomer, April 14th 2008

To your tremendous success…and

The Top Ten Reasons Working for Someone Else Is Not Smart**Reason # 10: You’ll spend 90,000 hours of your life working for someone else so you’ll get a gold watch and a really cool part-time job at Wal-Mart as a greeter.

**Reason # 9: Working about 40 hours a week, you’ll spend 2,000 hours a year working for your employer. In exchange you’ll get 80 hours of vacation time absolutely FREE!

**Reason # 8: It’s been a rough day. You’re home relaxing, watching “America’s Most Wanted” on TV and, to your horror, you realize the babysitter you leave your precious children with each and every day is on the FBI Top Ten Most Wanted list!

**Reason #7: You get up when you don’t want to, drive someplace you don’t want to go, and make a living working with people you really don’t like.

**Reason # 6: Would you be wearing something different if they didn’t tell you how to dress?

**Reason # 5: Your company may think it’s really cool to let you go. “Newsweek” Magazine says firing people has gotten to be trendy in corporate America.

**Reason # 4: Asking for time off is too much like asking your parents for permission.

**Reason # 3: Good News. You’ve survived the downsizing. The bad news is that you have to go home and tell the family you’re being transferred to a country you did not know existed.

**Reason # 2: Elephants work for peanuts – why should you?  Shouldn’t you be paid what you’re really worth?

**Reason # 1: Yes, the Number 1 reason why working for someone else is just plain dumb: this is America and you don’t have to! 

Yes, America is still the land of great opportunity but it’s just not in the same place you’re used to looking.  You know, people who work half as hard as you do, and are earning great part-time incomes, taking dream vacations and even making fistfuls of money.  What’s your excuse for not building your own successful business?  What have you got to lose except a BOSS?  Perhaps we can add another reason to this list.  Why work for someone else, when you can work for yourself doing something you LOVE – sharing the joy and excitement of shopping and travel for fun and profit?  If you still haven’t made the decision to become a home-based business owner, why not make today the day.

This posting was orignally made on my My Space profile and blog on June 02, 2007.  I felt it necessary to share it with you here…have an awesome day!

The W.O.W. Factor

Hey Champion,

You’re probably wondering what “The WOW Factor” is!  To understand what “The WOW Factor” is, how you can implement it into your daily and business life, and become more successful in what you do, I’ll share the definition of “WOW” with you. 

According to Merriam-Webster, there are 4 uses or definitions of the word ”WOW“.

  1. Interjection:  used to express strong feeling (as pleasure or surprise)
  2. Noun:  a striking success
  3. Transitive verb:  to excite to enthusiastic admiration or approval <a performance that wowed the critics>
  4. Noun:   a distortion in reproduced sound consisting of a slow rise and fall of pitch caused by speed variation in the reproducing system

The WOW FactorGuess what?  None of those definitions reveal to you “The WOW Factor“.  In most cases you encounter rejection during the sales and recruiting process.  You approached a family member, friend or even a stranger/cold call and the answer you received after asking for the sale was a gut-wrenching “NO”.  How many times has that happened.  After a number of “NOs”, you consider what you’re doing is not right for you and quitting enters the mind.  Not good, so stop that type of thinking right here and now.

You’re about to discover why it is all good.  No matter what home based businesss or opportunity we participate in, it’s about making sales and/or recruiting new people or business partners.  Some MLMers or Network Marketers are  recruiters, while others may be in business to generate sales. 

Remember, throughout the process, you’ve encountered rejection after rejection and then even more rejection.  No matter who the potential prospect is or was that you’ve introduced your business, product and services to, your response should be and astounding  ”WOW“. 

Here are a few examples, with your “WOW” response: Read the rest of this entry

Hey Champion,

FedExI am sure, just as it with me, that you’ve looked at something (maybe a product, a service, company or

Several years ago, a secret was revealed to me and it became one of my many ”AHA” moments.  It took a moment, and I eventually go it.  Today you’re in for a treat, because I am sharing the same secret with you.  Once you see this, you will see it over and over again and want to share the secret with your circle of friends  and business partners.

Check out the FedEx logo (the same logo that you’ve seen hundreds of times over and thought nothing about).  What do you see?  On the surface, you see the word FedEx, just as I did.  Look at it carefully!  Do you see it?

It’s okay, most people don’t see it… Read the rest of this entry

RICH versus POOR

Greetings Champions,

I shared this with my readers back in Feb 2008 and still today, I believe it’s all about mindset.  So again, I am sharing with you the difference between RICH and POOR.  In most cases, before an individual can achieve any sort of success or begin creating wealth, he or she must understand and change their mindset.  I begins with defining and understanding RICH vs. POOR.  Once you acknowledge this, I am 100% positive that you will agree.

Merriam Webster’s definitions are as follows:

RICH: having abundant possessions and especially material wealth

POOR: lacking material possessions

My definition and understanding is as follows:

Realize
I
Can
Have

Passing
Over
Opportunities
Repeatedly

There was a time in my life where I continued to Pass Over Opportunities Repeatedly, not Realizing I Can Have. I can say with pure conviction and honesty that my life began to change once my mindset changed. I am RICH beyond my imagination.  What I want you to know and believe is that once you stop Passing Over Opportunities Repeatedly, you too can become RICH.

Now that you know and understand the difference between RICH & POOR, I want you to go out and have yourself a great day!!!

Cheers,
