In my weekly Tuesday Tips newsletter I went and shared some terrific inspirational quotes with my readers. There were also a few funny ones mixed in.

There’s so much to be learned from others even by reading a simple, single sentence quote. Speaking for myself, sometimes a just quote can provide an Ah-HA moment or provide the inspiration to continue forward during difficult times.

Here are a few I wanted to share with you for now and I’m hoping you’ll take a moment to leave a comment and share your own favorite quotes with my readers.

“Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, either way you’re right.”

“Success comes in a can, failure comes in a can’t.”

“If you love what you do you’ll never work another day in your life.”

“It’s easy to get to the top after you get through the crowd at the bottom.”

“Everybody’s a self-made man; but only the successful ones are ever willing to admit it.”

“Success comes before work only in the dictionary.”

“Success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get.”

“When you were born you were crying and everybody around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you pass from this earth you’ll be smiling and everybody around you will be crying.”

“The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.”

Here are a few humorous quotes:

“The only trouble with trouble is it starts off as fun.”

“If at first you DO succeed try not to look too surprised.”

“Never take life too seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.”

“Whoever said money cannot buy happiness simply does not know where to shop.”

“The road to success is always under construction.”

The study of how to succeed at network marketing has changed drastically over the past 10 or so years. The reason for this change can be summed up in two simple worlds: the internet.

Of course the world wide web has completely changed the landscape for all types of businesses. But for the purposes of this article we’ll focus our attention specifically on MLM and the web’s impact on how to succeed in network marketing.

There are so many great resources available which can teach you how to leverage web technologies to build your home based network marketing business.

These resources will instruct you on the proper usage of social sites such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. How to use blogs to succeed at network marketing, the importance of having a marketing funnel in place, PPC efficiency and the list goes on and on.

What tends to get lost in the ocean of this technological training as it relates to growing a network marketing business is the personal nature of MLM.

At the core of Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring training is the importance of positioning yourself as a leader. A leader that others will view as a valuable resources who can help them to build a successful network marketing business of their own.

Understand that success in network marketing is entirely about connecting with people. And this is the reason why the internet has had such a tremendous impact on how to succeed in network marketing. It provides us with an unlimited number of ways to connect with others.

Never before have we seen such powerful business building tools.

But never lose sight of the fact that behind every email you send and every video you post to YouTube and blog post you make there are people; real live human beings. And people want to do business with other people not technology.

Technology changes at such a blistering pace that you can never be too sure of what will be the next new, hottest technology to market and grow your MLM business. What’s hot and what’s working now could be completely different next year; even next month.

What has remained unchanged though for thousands of years and what will never change is human nature.

At the core we all have dreams, goals, desires and wants. When you can understand the dreams, goals, desires and wants of the people you’re talking with about your business you will have no choice but to succeed.

When you connect with people on a personal level and understand their motivations for wanting to start an MLM business then you will no doubt succeed at network marketing.

Although the internet provides every means imaginable to initiate contact with others, how do you take it to the next step? How do you then replace technology with the human touch even if a person is half way around the world?

With your eyes and ears, that’s how. Read the emails they send to you with care and really listen to what they say when speaking with them on the phone.

In order to connect with people on a personal level you’ve got to find out what motivates them. You need to uncover their dreams and goals. To do that, you should be spending most of your time looking and listening.

Ask them questions and let them tell you why they are worthy of your valuable time. Let them convince you that they are a good fit for your business not the other way around.

Finally, above all else, network marketing is a business. Make sure you get involved in a business which is true to your core. When you’re speaking with others they will be able to sense the belief and enthusiasm you have for your product.

Your belief and enthusiasm will come through which will result in a natural human connection with others.

There exists a quiz referred to as “The Charles Schultz Philosophy” although there is some debate as to whether or not Schultz actually came up with it. For those who may not know, Schultz created the popular “Peanuts” comic strip.

I’d originally read this philosophy years ago and just came across it again the other day. I wanted to pass this along to you because I really feel that this short philosophy is what success and life is all about.

It’s very easy for each of us to lose sight of the really important things in life. As we get all caught up in achieving and accumulating things we tend to forget what’s most important.

The following is a great reminder.

Here’s the quiz although you do not have to actually answer any of these questions to get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five winners of the Miss America.
3. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
4. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
5. Name the last decade’s worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is; none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here’s another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care and make a difference for others.

A phenomenal series

Have you seen the series “Life” on the Discovery Channel being narrated by Oprah Winfrey? It’s an absolutely fascinating series about the animal kingdom.

I was watching one of the episodes the other day with my son when Oprah had said something which really struck a chord with me. She made a comment that much of the animal kingdom is engaged in a daily struggle to maintain survival.

What really struck me is that what she said is also true for most of humanity. Much of the human race is engaged in a day to day struggle just to maintain survival too. Isn’t that so sad? The question I have is why?

Why would anybody settle for a life of struggle? Struggle is a conscious choice just as much as success is a choice.

What separates the animal kingdom form humanity is that human beings have the ability and the opportunity to improve their existence. The resources to do so are readily available and the only force strong enough to keep you from improving your existence is yourself.

People have the ability to make something which the animal kingdom cannot make. Most of the animal kingdom has no choice but to struggle for survival. But, when people make this certain thing they are thrusting themselves into a life of struggle by choice.

This “thing’ I speak of are excuses; “I’m too old.” “I don’t have the time to make things better for myself.” “I’m not smart enough.” You get the point.

One other interesting point to note; go ahead and tally all of the creatures which make up the entire animal kingdom. If you were to count every species of land animal, fish, bird and insect you’ll have a number deep into the millions. Whatever that number might be it is finite. The excuses that a person is capable of telling themselves, on the other hand, is infinite. There is no limit to the excuses people use to keep themselves mired in struggle.

So take a good look at your life. Is it a life of fulfillment or a life of struggle? If yours is a life of struggle, why? Wouldn’t you rather live a life of fulfillment? Because you can, the choice is entirely yours.

End the struggle today. Click on the “Free Stuff” tab above where I’ve posted a library of well over 100 free personal and professional development eBooks and resources.

How to succeed in network marketing seems to be a very popular topic yet so elusive to most people. A big reason for this is that not enough people are familiar with the challenges of how to build a successful MLM organization. What, did you think success in network marketing was going to be easy? Is that what you were lead to believe? Home based network marketing success is possible, but no, it is not easy.

Not to worry though. If you seek answers on how to become successful in network marketing then you’re in the right place. You’re best chance at building a successful home based MLM business is education. This article ought to provide you with some of the clarity needed to succeed in a network marketing business of your own.

There are 5 major questions that nearly all people in search of network marketing success need answered. Having the answers to these questions may just help you cross the line between MLM success and failure. So without further delay, let’s get right to it, shall we?

Q1) Can I actually make money in network marketing?

Yes, you absolutely can. There are plenty of people who are making terrific money in network marketing. However, there are a far greater number of people who are not. Just remember though, this is the case in all areas of life. For example, take a look at stock trading, real estate investing, acting or whatever. Aren’t there always far fewer people who are doing well in any group you look at? MLM is no different.

Network marketing is equal opportunity. Your race, sex, age, religion years of education or whatever make no difference in this industry. You have just as good a chance at network marketing success as the next guy. Whether or not you actually will succeed though is entirely up to you.

Q2) Isn’t network marketing just a type of pyramid?

Again, the answer to this question is yes. Just like any other business, the structure of a network marketing organization is reminiscent of a pyramid. Think of any business large or small. At the top of that business is the owner or director. Below him or her is the management team and below them are the rank and file workers; a classic pyramid structure.

The major difference is that in network marketing you have just as good a chance of working your way into the top of the organization as anybody else. A much better chance, in fact, than in any other type of business structure.

Q3) What is the secret to network marketing success?

The big secret of how to succeed in network marketing is that there are no secrets. How to succeed in anything is a process which requires an investment of time, energy and money. Success in network marketing will require you to develop good business and personal development skills. Just as you would need to develop good tennis skills if you ever wish to be a proficient tennis player you will need to develop the right skills if you wish to be a successful network marketing business owner. Success at anything in life will not just happen by chance.

Q4) Does network marketing involve selling?

Yes and don’t ever let anybody tell you otherwise. You’ll often hear that all you have to do to succeed in network marketing is “share” your product with others. Nonsense! Success in any business at all – success in life period – involves selling to some degree.

Q5) Why do so many people fail in network marketing?

Because growing a successful network marketing business is not easy. The challenges of getting your business to a point to where it does become easy, to where it does generate passive income, are many. And unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of those who start an MLM business will quit when the going becomes difficult.

Do you want to succeed in network marketing? Then don’t quit; never, ever give up.

These are universal truths to network marketing success. The answers to these 5 questions apply to every last network marketing opportunity on the planet.

However, there is one last truth that, without it, will make everything you’ve just read useless. This single truth is so powerful and so important that it can make or break your network marketing business success right from the get-go.

If how to succeed in network marketing is important to you then this final piece of the puzzle is a must. I’ve written a free report you can download immediately which will make this entire picture crystal clear for you.

I recently attended a seminar where I had the opportunity to network with a lot of other people. I noticed a very disturbing pattern amongst all those I spoke with.

Some of the folks at the seminar are doing very well for themselves while most others were struggling financially.

Those I spoke with who are doing well for themselves didn’t mention a thing about today’s economy; not a word about it. Meanwhile those who are struggling – every single one of them – had some negative view of today’s economic times. Some of them even pointed directly to the economy as the reason for their difficulties.

I realized most people are looking for reasons why things are not going the way they’d like them to. Meanwhile, the minority shut out external noise and make good things happen for themselves regardless of what’s going on in the world around them.

I therefore have a challenge for you. Rather than asking yourself “when is this economy going to be over?”, the far more important question to ask is “when am I going to be over this economy?”

Understand that those who are doing well today will always do well regardless of up or down economies. These folks consciously choose to be successful and focus entirely on success while not becoming influenced by external circumstances which are beyond their control.

The very best advice I could possibly give to anyone struggling is to build an at home business and focus entirely on making the business successful.

This is true especially today. There is a massive trend underway as droves of people are turning to the home based business industry as their answer to financial stability.

If you’ve never considered a home based business or maybe have considered it but haven’t done anything about it, now is your time to take action.

What is it you’re good at? What is it you love to do? What do you know that others would want to hear from you?

These are a few questions to ask yourself in order to start generating some home based business ideas. There are many terrific opportunities available today but it all starts with you. There are a ton of resources online to help you build and succeed in a home business but none of those resources mean a thing if you do not take any initiative.

If you’re unsure of what type of business is right for you, I invite you to have a look at my home based business success web site. If you like what you see then there’s a good chance you could become my business partner.

Sadly, today’s home based business trend is going to pass most people by. Don’t let one of those people be you.

The burning question everybody has when they start an MLM business is, OK, now how do I succeed in this network marketing business of mine?

Starting your own work from home business is a very exciting time for anyone. The trouble is, eventually reality sets in and you begin to realize that it’s not so easy to succeed in work from home business. Network marketing success will demand a great deal of your effort.

How do you succeed at network marketing? Is it just luck or is there something more to it?

The harsh reality is that the overwhelming majority of those who start a network marketing business will fail. Maybe you’re struggling in your network marketing business and you’re fearful of becoming just another grim statistic. If so then you’re in the right place. What you’re about to discover will definitely help you to succeed in your home based business.

Firstly, understand that there aren’t any secrets when it comes to how to succeed in network marketing. You can develop the skills required to give you an advantage over average network marketers.

Remember this very important point; if you’re only doing what everyone else is doing then don’t expect to get anything more than what everyone else is getting. You can bet that the 95% of those who fail in network marketing are all doing the same thing.

Are you guilty of that? Well not anymore. Today is the day where you begin to do things differently. Today is the day when you begin to do things right and really learn how to succeed in network marketing.

Network marketing success requires your focus and doing these 5 things which the average network marketer is not willing to do.

1) Work harder – the name of this industry is net-WORK marketing not net-HOBBY marketing. You will get out of your business exactly what you’re willing to put into it. Weak efforts will always bring about weak results whereas strong efforts will bring about strong results.

2) Become a self development fanatic – understand that your business can only grow to the extent that you do. You want more from your business then demand more from yourself and constantly seek new personal development skills.

3) Improve your business skills – successful network marketing requires learning business building skills. You need to learn how to generate leads, manage your time wisely, communication with others and effective marketing. The good news is these are all learned skills; you can do it.

4) Willingly invest time and money – developing the required personal development and business building skills require an investment of both time and money. If you’re reluctant to invest in yourself and your business then do not expect to one day see network marketing success.

5) Never give up – this is most important quality you can have. Network marketing success is never an entitlement, it is something that must be earned. In truth, nobody ever fails in network marketing but 95% of those who get involved quit before their dreams are realized. You have to be committed and absolutely refuse to give up.

To recap, how to succeed in network marketing is something you can realize. If you unconditionally commit yourself to the 5 steps above then you will one day find yourself in the 5% group of successful network marketers.

Is it easy? Nope. But I can promise you that in the end your efforts will always be well worth it.
