care for you, care for your world

The Good Life

I am only going to here repeat the advice of one of my mentors, Jim Rohn. The greatest value in life is not a bank account. The greatest value in life is not a car. Neither is it a home to live in. The greatest value in life is living a good life. In the midst of all our achieving, building and growing, helping other people be a part of society in the country and the world, being all of this stuff, you’ve got to figure out how to continually live a good life.

Be productive. If you do not produce you will not be happy. Have good friends. The greatest support system in the world is good friends. And you have to work on this. You must not be careless here. Friends are those people who know all about you and still like you. Have spiritual values. Yes, I am a believer. I believe humans, like all creation, were made by God. We are spiritual. As a believer, study, practice and teach. Whatever is valuable to you, study, practice and teach. This builds the foundation that builds the country, that builds the nation, helping us to compete with the nations successfully.

Passing the Torch Don’t miss the good times.

Elton John, “She lived her life like a candle in the wind. Never knowing who to cling to. When the rain set in”. Don’t miss the lyrics, don’t miss the song that nourishes the soul. You can’t describe how brief and fragile life is.

George Harrison, “If not for you the winter I would hold no spring. Couldn’t hear a robin sing. I would not have a clue, if not for you”. Remember the words that describes the experience.

Barbara Strident, “It used to be so natural to talk about forever. ‘Used to be’s’ don’t count any more, they just lie on the floor, till we sweep them away. You don’t sing me any love songs, you don’t bring me any flowers anymore”. Illustrative of all our experiences.

Winston Churchill, “The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end there it is”. Use it. Feast on someone else’s comments. You can stay all night and not think of this.

Don’t miss the good times. Even the small things, don’t miss them. It is part of living a good life. If you live well you will earn well. If you live well it will show up in the texture of your voice. If you live well, it will show up in your face. If you live well it will show up in the magnetism of your personality. Live well. Don’t miss the nourishment of all the good things that will help you live a good life.

The inner circle. Take care of them they will take care of you. Inspire them, they will inspire you. Nothing more valuable than the inner circle. Nothing more powerful. Together you have the power to conquer the world.

innercircle If when you walk out of the house and you can feel the kiss of your daughter on your face all day long you are powerful man. That nourishment of the inner circle. If a husband walks out of the house and all day long he can feel the imprint of the arms of his wife around his body, he is invincible. He is invincible. Who can touch him?

One person caring for another is the greatest of all virtues. There are many virtues but the greatest is love. One person caring for another. Better to live in a tent by the beach with someone you love than to live in a mansion by yourself. People caring for people. Especially that inner circle. The power is so magnificent. If you draw from it. If you nourish it. Then it nourishes you.

Why network marketing? Because you cannot succeed unless you are willing to help somebody achieve. It will be you upline that you help succeed and it will be you downline that you help achieve. This concept escapes many. There are others that we will learn as we go along. These principles are taught in Success University. And you can find out about us in apbGLOBAL. You can have a free trial to see if it is for you on SU, we the team will be there putting in practice the philosophy of this blog.

Capital verses Skills

In network marketing capital is not what matters. Your money does not buy you a future. It is your skills. You may have money but if you do not have any skills in networking you are still poor. If you have money but do not have ambition then where are you? If you have money and yet you have no courage you are broke.

The Philosophy of Courage

Hey, this deserves to be a philosophy.  A little bit of money and a whole lot of courage is what you need in network marketing. Let’s give this another name affiliate marketing. I do not like  the MLM name. 

Young ambitious business man I am looking for people, I am recruiting. Here is what I am looking for. The money does not matter. What matters to me is somebody’s willingness, somebody’s ingenuity, somebody’s willingness to try. If you have a £1 to invest I tell you that is plenty for me. A £1 and some ambition and I can show you how to get rich. It will be a classic story.

I go out recruiting and a guy says to me, “I don’t have any money”. I say, “I have been looking for you for six months. Let me tell you how to do it without any money”. Here are the rules of capitalism. You can buy and sell or if you are in certain circumstances you can sell and buy. If you have got ambition. If you haven’t got any ambition I can’t help you. And by the way money won’t cure that. Money won’t cure lack of ambition.

If you’ve got a £1 and some ambition then we can work together. I will show you how to get rich. Even if you don’t have a £1 and you have ambition, I can show you how to get rich because you can sell and buy. If you say, “As soon as the product arrives I will sell it”, then you do not understand the magic of fortune. You say to yourself that you have to wait until the product arrives before you can sell it. This gets hard. You do not even understand the value of your own time.

I like Jim Rohn. When he understood that you can get rich by selling then buying, he knew instinctively that he was going to be wealthy. From his early days he gave big tips because he knew he was going to be wealthy. Tip like a rich man. Get into the mind set. Act like you are there already. It helps your confidence. You can learn all this stuff from Success University. You can even have a free trial.

Networking Skills

You need certain skills to do network marketing. You may know your job well. But remember it just pays the rent and  a little extra in exchange for your most precious commodity, your time. You need new skills to change your life – like getting a customer and  making a sale. Sales in network marketing is not technical. We simply represent our product. The systems, the distribution etc. is taken care of by the corporation.

logobusinessopportunity

Philosophy of Sales in Network Marketing

We share a unique product. We talk about its merits. Persuade someone that it is the best. They agree to buy. That  is simply the art of sale. In our business it is more like sharing. We use the products ourselves. We gather some testimonials. We simple share that. We are not talking about high powered spacecraft technical skills here. We simple share something we have discovered with someone else, and doing it well enough to where they agree they would like to participate.

In the process of networking, when you learn sales it will multiply your income by five. Sales is laying that foundation for an entrepreneurial career.

Philosophy of Recruiting in Network Marketing

The next skill you have to learn is recruiting. Recruiting requires learning 1.How to give a good invitation. 2.Learning how to give two types of presentations, formal and informal. 3.Following up. When you start a new life in networking, you have to take care of it, like the parent of a child. You don’t start a new life and abandon it. You start a new life and nourish it and protect it.

Nourishment is ideas, information etc. Protection is helping to defend your new life against encroachment. There are going to be outside voices that will try and talk them out of  it. You’ve got to be both mother and father in the art of recruiting. We call it being a sponsor.

Being a sponsor is like being a bridge, helping someone from darkness to light, from skeptic to faithful, from not knowing to knowing, from no confidence in themselves to confidence. You are the bridge that helps people, from the shadows to the sunlight. It is one of the most exciting positions to occupy in the network marketing industry. You help people to cross from discouragement into recognition. Being this bridge is what this recruiting magic is all about.

You’ve got the answers they have been looking for. You see something in them before they can see it in themselves. You assure them that it is possible to be more than they are. Therefore they can earn more than they do. They can have more than they possess. This is one of the greatest arts in the world. And here is what is exciting about this art – it pays big money.

Now you are operating a principle first taught in the Bible. John Kennedy taught it in his inaugural speech. Zig Ziglar taught it in ‘Secrets to Wealth’. This secret to wealth and fortune that was first taught in the Bible is this. The question was asked to the Master Teacher “How can we achieve great wealth, great influence, great power, great recognition, great self esteem?”  Here was His formula for achieving personal greatness. He said, “Find a way to serve the many. For service to many leads to greatness.” Some people are interested. Some people are not interested. For those that are – SERVICE TO MANY LEADS TO GREATNESS.

Changing my Life

If you want to change your life and make the next two to three years totally different from the last five or more years here is what you have to do. I want to recap. It is not the blowing of the wind that determines your income. It is not the blowing of the wind that determines your fortune. Its the set of the sail. I have learnt a few ideas that I am going to share here that will drastically improve your life. I am counting myself in too.

studyIt is not what happens. What happens, happens to everybody. The next ten years are going to like the last ten. The next season after spring is summer. I promise you that is not going to change. After day comes night. That is not going to change. Here is how the last 6,000 years reads. Opportunity mixed with difficulty. If we are going to be around another 6,000 years it going to be the same reading. opportunity mixed with difficulty. Sometimes there seems to be  more opportunity than difficulty and sometimes there seems to be more difficulty than opportunity but the mix is not going to change.

After expansion comes recession. But after recession comes  expansion. Not to thinks so is naive. Once you got a little of this drama of life settled then you know exactly what to do. You know exactly what to anticipate so you ban be ready.

Philosophy of Changing for Things to Change

For things to change you have to change. I was hoping the government would change and taxes would change, the economics would change and my boss would change and my new boss would be more generous. I wish for everything to change. My mentor says “No, Joseph, for things to change for you, you have to change.” Leadership has to be developed
Don’t wish it was easier wish you were better. I understand this and now I know the course of my life will change. At 55 I’ve got some changes to make in my life. I have joined Success University to learn the principles.

Don’t wish for less problems, wish for more skills. You don’t need less problems, you simply need more skills.

Don’t wish for less challenge, wish for more wisdom. Accept the challenge for you cannot grow without challenges. you can’t get rich without a challenge. You can’t fly without gravity. You have to understand the challenge that is the key. Develop wisdom to overcome the challenge. Don’t  wish for less challenges but more wisdom.

You can do the most remarkable things no matter what. Humans can do the most remarkable things no matter what happens. These are philosophies that are changing my life.

To enjoy success in network marketing you have to change. These are ideas that are new. Leadership, motivation,communication skills, all these ideas are coming soon. Join the team for support.

A level playing field….

Education today

Everyone agrees on the value of education. But these days I find that more and more people are seeing the need to supplement traditional learning with an education that will provide a foundation for success. People are recognizing that this must cover all areas of life – mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. They find that conventional degrees or diplomas often do not equip them with the practical skills and tools they need to achieve their goals in the great wide world. Consequently personal development has grown into a multibillion dollar a year industry in just a few years.

University EducationI had a good education but was ill-equipped for life. Now in my fifties I have come across a wonderful programme of learning, Success University. Its courses have helped me in my graphic and website design business, helped me to think in a more positive and constructive way, and to communicate better with my wife and grown-up children.  I am amazed at the quality of the speakers and their dedication. I am amazed at the many disadvantaged people who are learning, who have overcome tremendous challenges because of their association with Success University.

Within months of opening its doors, Success University became the number one personal development website on the internet. And now it is poised to become the number one personal development company in the world.

As the demand for personal development learning has exploded, so has the development in computer and communications technology. With new technologies come new breath-taking opportunities. It is now possible for the first time in history to deliver the education that people demand using programmed online streaming that make it accessible to literally masses of people.  Until now this has not been achievable. We are talking cutting-edge.

A $100 billion dollar business

I love it because it has not only made quality education available to everybody, it has also turned over its marketing to its students and rewards them for doing it! It knows that word of mouth advertising works, with customers buying because the recommendation comes from someone they trust. This is direct marketing, a $100 billion dollar a year business.

Success University also found that referrals from other students become great students. And so it developed its own unique and highly rewarding compensation programme for its students to enjoy. This means that when you join Success University as a student, you also have the opportunity to develop a lucrative business as you grow within it. And remember this is a business with a product that everyone in the world is starting to recognize as essential for success in life!

Yes, Success University generously compensates its students for referring this online learning product to others. In fact all the money typically spent on advertising is paid to their affiliates instead, for making referrals. Up to 60% of tuition from each student gets paid back to people who have started a home based business referring people to Success University, giving an incredible opportunity to become financially independent. And you can start part time and keep your current job as long as you like.

For me this is all very exciting stuff! I personally work from home. I’ve found it fairly easy to fit Success University around my schedule and commitments. I recommend that you start your Success University business at home too. You can operate it with no experience and very little overhead, and you’ll receive training along the way. It’s so simple. As you grow you can work from home or work from anywhere. Have laptop and mobile phone! Will travel!

Equal ethical global opportunity

At last I’ve discovered a company whose sole focus is to deliver success to the world – through education and through contribution. It is partnered with one of the largest non profit organizations in the world ‘Feed the Children’. Every time a student enrols in Success University a donation is made to ‘Feed the Children’. That is enough to provide and feed an underprivileged child for one month. When you enrol as a student in Success University you could save a child’s life. The same thing goes for every student you enrol. And that’s a powerful thing. That is something you can be proud of. Success University teaches the principles of how to be successful but also how to care about people in the midst of your success.

Because it’s online, anyone can join, anywhere in the world, as long as there is an internet connection. I’m an African. Here is something where I stand an equal chance of success with an American, or anybody else. It’s a level playing field in this world of online personal development. You can simply log on, take advantage of the courses and take advantage of the business building tools anywhere on the planet. It has remarkable tools, training and support systems, with a world class faculty of experts. It has many success stories that have already been created around the world. Will your story be next? Better get started. It’s on the brink of being a worldwide phenomenon!

AffiliatesI have found that everybody wants to improve their life if given the opportunity. I joined Success University because I want to help the world to live the way it should be lived today. It is absolutely changing my life. It can change yours, whatever your life goals. For some, Success University has allowed them to continue to be stay at home Dads. For others, it has enabled them to live in the house of their dreams…..

I look forward to enjoying the benefit of a residual based income – when you know that you are getting paid tomorrow whether you get out of bed or not. You can double it, triple it, building the foundation for a solid future. That excites me! I am surrounded by individuals that are pushing me towards my destiny, in the midst of caring about me as a person.

Gandhi said that the future depends on what we do in the present. Success comes when opportunity meets action. Our future depends on what we do right now. Where you are today is the result of the decisions you made two or three years ago. Where you will be tomorrow is directly related to the decisions you make today. If you choose to make a decision to start right now, you will begin a journey that will change your life forever. You can begin to make a difference in the world. And it starts today by enrolling as a student. This will also feed and educate a hungry child, for less than what you might spend on a cup of coffee a day.

Success

There are those who talk about success and there are those that live it. Success University is about living it. I made the decision to develop a whole new potential career in the growing industry of direct marketing. It’s internet marketing at its simplest. The choice was clear. Learn to be successful and in doing so create success for myself and others, or continue on my old path. I said I can change.

Chasing the Dream

Jumping for joyI’m learning that success isn’t some distant dream. It’s our birthright; we were made for it. But for you to be successful, you’ll need to find the path that takes you there, and the right mentors to teach you along the way. Success University is devoted exclusively to success training and it arranges mentors for its students, bringing success within reach for thousands of people who aspire to achieve a better, more fulfilled life.

The courses are condensed, perfected and taught directly to you by over fifty of the most amazing minds on the planet. Men and women with familiar faces, role models in success education who have already collectively helped millions of people achieve astounding levels of success. They use carefully cultivated methods, attitudes and strategies. When you learn these techniques, they can sky rocket your success too, in every area of your life.

The Success University library is currently valued at well over tens of thousands of dollars with hundreds of dollars worth of new materials added every month. When you join you get access to this huge library for less than the price of a cup of coffee a day.

We all understand the value of education. That is why becoming a student of Success University is something we should all do for ourselves and our families. In just over two years over 65,000 people around the world have become new students with Success University. Why? Because it makes sense. Who wouldn’t want access to this information? It’s at prices anyone can afford and 100% proven, with a curriculum for realising your dreams.

The mission of Success University is to deliver success education to more people than any other company in the world. Its vision is really a vision of what it sees  for the world – to live in a world where every mother and father is open enough to say something as simple as ‘I love you’ to their children, where no child dies of starvation. Whether that vision is realised in my lifetime or in years to come, it’s a vision that I can get passionate about.

I’m a web designer and Bible student, with big dreams! I’ve now found a vehicle to take me there – I joined Success University a few months ago. Like a farmer with a wonderful crop and no transport to take it to market, I’ve drifted through life. Until now that is. I’ve found my vehicle and I’m going to run with this! Have a look at my website.

Dreaming of Success

freedomI’m a dreamer. I hope I NEVER stop dreaming! And I am achieving my dreams. But for so many people, dreams remain just that – dreams. Why?  The answer is very simple. They don’t know how to move from dream to reality. Today I’m going to talk about how you can develop yourself so that you can do just that, how you can reach those goals and realize those visions you have for your life.

What’s your dream? A big beautiful home, an expensive car, travelling around the world first class, being able to spend all the time you want with friends and family, being in optimal health, contributing to the world…..

Through the traditional education system we are taught how to read but never provided with materials on how to become successful or wealthy, or how to grow as a person. We were all taught maths skills. But were we ever taught how to accumulate wealth?  Would not that be the most important maths lesson you could possibly have? We have all received some sort of education. The unfortunate thing is that for most people their education was missing the most important subject.  The subject of success was missing. Yes, we have learned many valuable lessons in our traditional education. But we have never been taught how to live the life of our dreams.

I’ve recently found something that I’m really excited about because it’s a vehicle for dreamers like me. It’s not for the kind who like to lie on their backs and dream, but for the kind who are determined to make their dreams come true. If you’re that kind too, it could be worth your while to take a look…..

This new concept picks up where the traditional left off, giving anyone and everyone access to the most successful people in the world, including multi-millionaire bestselling authors, speakers and trainers. Dynamic personalities dedicated to helping people realise their dreams. I now finally have access to the secrets of achieving great wealth. I can achieve deeper relationships, optimal health and so much more.

Within six months of opening its doors Success University became the number one personal development website in the world! How did this happen? It’s simple. Success University provides a solution to a desire that most people have. They want success. And Success University can help them achieve it through products that include lessons from the world’s foremost trainers, top speakers and authors, like Brian Tracy, Zig Ziglar, Denis Waitley, Les Brown, Jim Rohn and dozens more.

As Johnny Wimbrey puts it, Success University has a plethora of information under one umbrella. Les Brown, Jim Rohn and Zig Ziglar are some of the most respected names out there in the entire industry. What the company is doing is pulling together all of the education, all of the training from some the world’s best success trainers and experts and making it affordable for anybody.

Everyone knows success when they see it. The question is do they see it in themselves?  Even if they do, we all know that it needs more than visualization to achieve it. Success University can give you direct access to the best success coaches in the world. Their information is delivered through audio programs, video courses, email systems and downloadable workbooks that are designed for you to get the most out of the information.  Its sole curriculum is dedicated to the achievement of success. It teaches you, and then teaches you how to use that knowledge to succeed.

I love it and am growing through it. I have been able to choose the specific courses that I need right now. I study in my own time at home. I am in touch with successful positive people who are influencing me in the direction of my dreams.

 ‘I have found that Success University has changed my life and made me more self confident. The material with Success University is completely life changing. It has allowed me to maintain a positive outlook’ Trisha Smith.

‘One of the greatest things that Success University has allowed in our family is the experience of deepening the relationship I have with my husband and with our daughter’ Julie Chojnowski.

Success University gives people the opportunity to grow as individuals, and become more aware of their thoughts and relationships, positively influencing people and making a difference to the community

Learn more. And see you at the top!

‘Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.’ Jim Rohn

‘Man is born successful.’ Helen Keller
