Discovering The Power Of Transparency

A little over a week ago, one of the young up and comers in the world of online network marketing came out and revealed to the world that he was returning to the workforce.  Not only was he taking a job at a fitness center, but he was also taking a job as a driver for Domino’s pizza.   Now for many this came as a real shocker, because this young man had been celebrated for going from being a full time employee at McDonald’s to creating a 5 figure monthly income online with the creation of his own products and services.   His story had caught the attention of many top leaders in our industry and he had been featured on many training calls.  How could it be that someone so successful was now making these decisions?  Read more...

Finding Your Groove Again

Are You Choosing To Fail?

Mental Hoarding – Where Do You Find Room For All Of That Stuff?

Have you ever seen the A & E show Hoarders?  The show documents the lives of people who have accumulated so much “stuff” that their homes literally become prisons.   I can remember in my days as a police officer responding to the call of an unresponsive man.  When I got to the house, I found a true hoarder indeed.   There were magazines, newspapers and various other assorted piles stacked waist high in every room of the house.  In between those stacks were narrow trails that led to the bed, the toilet and a sitting chair.   I ultimately had to throw the man over my shoulder and carry him out, before I could do CPR on him, because there was no place to lay him out flat.  Read more...
