Acceptance – Give It Unconditionally
Posted by Nancy on Sep 28, 2010
Establishing and maintaining great relationships, with various types of people, is essential whether you are in direct sales marketing, retail sales, or just for life in general.
Here is a tip that will assist you … one of the basic needs of man is to feel accepted.
When associating with other people there are several things you can do to improve your relationships. There are practically unlimited resources like books, articles or seminars that can teach you different ways of associating with people so you build lasting relationships for your online marketing business.
One thing that can be done is to make people feel accepted. According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, one of man’s basic needs is to feel a sense of belonging to a group, whether that group is family, a small circle of friends, or through membership to clubs, teams, associations, etc..
People want to feel they belong and are needed. One of the best ways to provide this feeling is by merely listening to what they have to say. Listening tells someone that their thoughts and opinions have value. Listening to what they have to say provides them with a sense of importance.
How often have you been telling a story when someone interrupts you to either finish your sentence, or to start telling their own similar story? Or the reverse, how often have you done these things to someone else?
This type of behavior happens all the time, probably because the other person also feels the need for acceptance and a feeling of importance, though this does not make it O.K.
Every person needs to be accepted. It gives meaning to a person’s existence. The civil act of accepting a person can make or break them, as the saying goes.
Can you imagine a life totally void of acceptance? A feeling of resentment can develop over time, leading to anger and hostility.
Resentment is like a forest fire: it can turn wild especially when fanned with more resentment.
Acceptance must be given unconditionally. The giver should not expect anything in return and there should be no strings attached, or no commitments to fulfill.
Unconditional acceptance of other people’s thoughts, ideas, and concerns elicits cooperation and this leads to working towards a common goal. At the same time, you have raised the esteem, importance, and morale of the person to whom you have accorded respect and acceptance.
You will harvest not only good results, but also the admiration and appreciation of others, as well.

Books and Reading – The Change It Brings To Our Lives
Posted by Guest Author on Sep 27, 2010
“A lot of people like to read about history, biographies of famous people, science and other non-fiction books or publications. Others, however, like to read fiction that takes them to a faraway place and time simply for the pleasure of it. Regardless of whether you’re reading a book on quantum physics or the latest Paolo Coelho bestseller you bought from the Book of the Month Club, you probably know that reading is food for the soul. It makes our existence rich not only with new information that we gain but more importantly with the emotions that good books elicit in us and the ways that these emotions make us discover ourselves deeper than thought we could. In other words, reading is always a personal experience, whether or not the reasons were personal when we decided to pick up a book and read it.
Of course, this personal encounter we have with books is the first thing we’ll yearn for unknowingly when we start reading. However, did you know there are more practical uses to the activity? Reading is, in fact, very helpful in our daily lives in ways that we probably never knew before. For example, when we read a lot, our vocabulary naturally increases. When we encounter a word for the first time, we would naturally want to understand what that word is or else, we wouldn’t understand completely whatever we’re reading. Thus, we look up the meaning of those new words in the dictionary. Each time we do that, we widen our vocabulary.
Another thing we’ll always love about reading is the way it improves our spelling. At times, we pronounce words very well without even knowing how they’re spelled. When you read a lot, you will see all those commonly misspelled words finally spelled correctly and you’re going to learn from that so that next time you have to write those words yourself, you can do it error-free.
When you talk about the benefits of reading, you cannot skip the part where the brain is enhanced by the habit. Indeed, reading regularly keeps your brain on its toes and keeps it sharp. As a matter of fact, studies show people who read as a routine activity are less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease or any brain-related disease. You can
To conclude, reading is relaxing, therefore, anyone who reads regularly can enjoy rare moments of peace and being one with oneself – a feeling that is possible only when you have a good book that you feel like skipping work over. If you’re going to join a book club, you might have a harder time closing that book and getting ready for work each morning. You can carry the book around just the same. Just don’t let it get in the way of your important tasks.”
The Mystery Guild book club and Literary Guild book club are two popular groups where people who love to read come together online, share ideas, and even become friends even if they’re situated on opposite sides of the country.
Online Marketing – Are You Lacking Persistence?
Posted by Nancy on Sep 20, 2010
We live in a world of instant gratification, or at least that is what some people would like. Try surfing the Internet for ‘get rich quick’ and you will find about 30,300,000 results!
We see it in the news almost daily, the latest overnight success story. What we do not see is how this overnight success actually took months or even years to achieve.
The key here is persistence. Most people who achieve success do so over time. The actions they take on a daily basis add up as time goes by, and before you know it, you have success.
If you are not achieving the success you are looking for, go through this list of symptoms of lack of persistence and see if any of them apply to you.
- Failure to clearly define what is wanted, writing it down, and forming a plan of action.
- Procrastination, whether the reasons are legitimate or not.
- Lack of specific knowledge, and no desire to acquire that knowledge.
- Lack of decision when facing issues.
- Letting excuses get in the way of definite plans for success.
- Accepting things as they are, rather than trying to improve them.
- Blaming others for one’s problems.
- Lack of strong desire for something.
- Quitting at the first signs of trouble.
- Failing to recognize opportunities and take action on them.
- Wishing for what is wanted, instead of taking action.
- Lack of ambition and the willingness to accept poverty instead of riches.
- Trying to get something without first giving, looking for shortcuts to success.
- Failing to take action through fear of what others will think. Fear of criticism is stronger than the desire for something.
Here are four simple steps that can lead to the habit of PERSISTENCE:
- Determine your purpose and reinforce it with a burning desire for its fulfillment.
- Develop a definite plan involving ongoing action.
- Close your mind to all negative and discouraging influences.
- Develop alliances with one or more people who will encourage you to follow through.

Internet Income Opportunity – Be Persistent
Posted by Nancy on Sep 16, 2010
If you combine the right amount of will-power with the right amount of desire you get unstoppable power for your Internet income opportunity.
This combination of will-power and desire, mixed with persistence will certainly lead to the attainment of your goals in direct sales marketing.
Lack of persistence is one of the major causes of failure.
If lack of persistence describes you, be assured that you are not alone, it is quite common.
Be Persistent
The place to start to remedy this situation is to look closely and deeply at your desires in life. Do you have strong desires to succeed in online marketing, or are you just wishing something would happen? Wishing will get you nowhere, while strong desire can take you anywhere you want to go!
If your desire is strong enough, you will do whatever it takes to achieve that desire. It will give you the will-power to put forth the effort required to persist until you are successful.
Never underestimate the power of habits. If you persist, your actions will become habit, making the journey easier and more fun. Remember, a big part of achieving your desires is the journey. Things do not always happen as quickly as we might like, so you might as well enjoy the trip!
THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR PERSISTENCE!
Persistence is a state of mind and as such it can be cultivated. Here is a short list to help you get started:
- Define your purpose
- Determine your deepest desire
- Believe in yourself
- Make a plan
- Verify that your plan is sound, never guess
- Sympathy, understanding, and cooperation with others tend to develop persistence
- Concentrate your thoughts on your plans
- Form good habits that will assist you to let go of your fears

Explode Your Twitter Marketing By Avoiding These Mistakes
Posted by Guest Author on Sep 9, 2010
As Twitter gets more and more popular, it has also become an accepted method to market your products online. If you are going to use Twitter for marketing, however, be sure to not make the errors we’ll be talking about below.
Avoid the first newbie mistake which is to get too personal with the people who are following you. Even though you want to blend in and send lots of tweets, you’ll want to keep business and fun separate. You will always get better results if you keep your tweets on your subject matter instead of telling everyone your personal business. Your followers don’t really care what you thought about a certain movie or which comedian you think is funny. They only want to hear about how you can help them, maybe with a new product you’re promoting. But there’s no harm in sharing information that’s fun, but is still related to your niche market. Look for funny video clips and other things that are within your subject matter and let your followers know about them. While you’re not solving any of their problems, per se, you are giving them something fun which will give you a reputation for someone who’s fun and interesting. So you’re not even moving away from your main topic here and at the same time you’re offering them something fun without getting personal. If you want to reveal everything about yourself and really let yourself hang out, you need a personal Twitter account, which you should make and keep separate from any of your business dealings.
Another mistake you don’t want to make is not making optimal use of your followers. This doesn’t mean asking them to market your business for you. What you can do, however, is build up your list of followers by enlisting the help of your current followers. How can this be done? It’s just a matter of getting your followers to re-tweet your best tweets, a simple task! It isn’t a complicated request. This is a simple form of viral marketing, as your original tweet can quickly spread to your followers’ followers. You can really create momentum this way, as your tweet goes out to people you could never have reached otherwise. So don’t fail to make use of this resource your followers represent just because you don’t want to ask them. You should not feel awkward about asking, as some people will do it and others won’t, it’s their choice. This is an example of worker smarter rather than harder when it comes to Twitter marketing.
Another mistake beginners at Twitter marketing often make is trying to get lots of followers before they’ve built up a good number of tweets of their own. You can’t expect people to want to follow you until you’ve demonstrated an ability to create interesting content on your chosen topic. When your Twitter page has some good content on it, people in your target market will have a reason to follow you. So before you actually take up the task of growing your follower count, put in some effort to actually tweet some targeted information related to your niche, so that when they see your page, they should feel the need to follow you.
Overall, Twitter marketing is fairly straightforward as long as you approach it the right way and steer clear of the mistakes we’ve been discussing.

Marketing Training – Learn to Set Goals
Posted by Nancy on Sep 4, 2010
We are all bound by the same laws of physics, and rules of nature, this is not in dispute.
So, why is it that some people achieve all their dreams and desires in life, while others struggle to keep their head above water or simply get through the day?
The ‘secret sauce’ is setting goals.
Goals are merely representations of your visions, your dreams. It is crucial to your online success to make your goals attainable and realistic. Setting goals that are not attainable is suicide where success is concerned. You are merely setting yourself up for failure, and that is the exact opposite of what you are trying to achieve here.
Goals should give you some direction to help you toward your dreams and visions. Simply setting goals will be of no help to you, unless you take actions toward your goals. Wishful thinking will get you nowhere.
Goals allow you to monitor your progress, and make adjustments to your actions when necessary.
In your efforts to set achievable goals, here are a few tips:
- Goals must be in writing – be as specific as possible about what you really want to achieve. Instead of ‘I want to have my own business’, be specific ‘I will start an Internet business.’
- Goals must have a deadline for achievement – pick a date by which time you want to be successful in reaching your goals, then work backward to the present to help you with your time-line.
- Plan your goal-getting strategy – determine which activities are most likely to get you to your goal, and take action. Without actions, you are simply wishing.
- Have a look at your mindset – are you convinced that your goal is achievable? If you think ‘I could never do this,’ guess what, you probably can not. You may find that you need to take some risk: learning new skills and challenging yourself.
- Goal setting is about acknowledging your limitations and determining what you can do to overcome these limitations. If your limitations are preventing you from reaching your goals, see if there is someone who can help you, rather than just giving up?
Remind yourself of the benefits you will receive as a result of achieving your goals. This will help you to stay focused on the actions that you have determined are necessary for success.
Finally, see yourself as if what you desire is already yours … you are successful!

Successful People and the Use of Cosmic Ordering
Posted by Guest Author on Sep 1, 2010
Today many people are searching for a way to improve their lives. To live a more fulfilled life, where they are able to have the things they want and enjoy what it is they have. There are many options out there that promise to help you manifest your dreams, but none that work as well as cosmic ordering.
What is cosmic ordering? It is a spiritual practice where you are able to get from the universe everything it is you want in life. You ask, or order something, and you will receive it. While this is a spiritual process, don’t be swayed to think that you have to be a “Saint” and only do good things in order to get what it is you want from life. Yes, that’s a benefit but not a requirement.
Cosmic ordering entails the fulfillment of your desires and objectives. You have to ‘order’ whatever you desire from the universe and in a spiritual manner those needs shall be fulfilled. There might be a rearrangement in your lifestyle or your environment that shall suffice your needs!
According to Dr. Deepak Chopra and Dr. Wayne Dyer, to place an order with the universe you must be in, what they call the “field of intent.” This is an energy field, that is obviously invisible, but it is where our spirit connects to the universe and then returns conscious desires.
There is a high probability that cosmic ordering is something you have done without knowing that you are doing it. Think of all the times you have really wanted something and the wish has come true. You probably thought it was a coincidence. But actually it was cosmic ordering at work.
However this method depends on your ability to concentrate and the limits of your intention, within which your desires and belief condense. This leads to envisaging a new situation where you must believe that you deserve what you have been asking for, and keep in mind that you must be sincere in your effort of ordering it.
Saying “I want a new car,” or “I want that promotion” and then believing that you shouldn’t get those things because you didn’t earn them, or you didn’t put any effort into getting them will make it so that your order is not fulfilled. If a better life is really what you want, then you have to believe deep down in your soul that you deserve a better life.
Cosmic ordering is really not hard, it is one the easiest processes you can do to change your life. Is there a down side to this? Well, as with anything in life, there are always pluses and minuses to how it is used. Thinking about and believing negative things will also cause those negative things to manifest.
If in your heart of hearts you think that you might get fired soon, then it’ll affect your performance and you will get fired! If you consider instead that you deserve a car or a house, and strongly believe in it, you will get a car soon enough.
Most people believe that do not deserve a lot of things because they deem themselves a failure. This negative mode of thinking affects his/her performances in every aspect of life!
Sometimes, it is your subconscious that works against you and tries to convince you that you do not deserve a change in your life.
For real success at cosmic ordering your subconscious mind needs to be prepared beforehand to accept that it is okay for you to change your life and receive everything you want.
It is not difficult to communicate with your subconscious mind. This can be done with simple affirmations, self hypnosis and meditation.
People have completely changed their lives using cosmic ordering. Isn’t it time that you lived the life that you really want? Here is your chance, using cosmic ordering to enjoy a truly fulfilled life.
