“Never let the fear of striking out get in you way.”  Babe Ruth
 
Play Ball!!  Spring training’s over and MLB has started another season.  I’m not the most avid fan in the world but do try to make it to several games a year.  Being from Atlanta…I’m a Braves fan.

 

I have to admit, up until 6 months ago I though MySpace was a place just for teenagers. But I’ve learned that marketing on MySpace is a great FREE way to build a business without having to spend money on leads, banner ads or other expensive advertising.

The key to success in marketing on MySpace is to use The Law of Attraction to attract the right people to partner with and build your business. The key is to make yourself ATTRACTIVE – not in the good-looking sense, although that doesn’t hurt but I mean in the partnering with like-minded people sense.

Most of the time, I’m a positive person - a “glass half-full” kind of a guy.  I do have to admit though there are times that I’m not always at my best. 

And that’s not good.  We do our best when our mind is in the proper mindset

We think better, we perform better, we’re more creative and life is just more enjoyable.  More importantly, believe you me, your success and fortune is directly related to your attitude and mindset.

You’re going to always have one at all times, attitude that is, might as well make it a good one.

It saddens me to see so many people struggle with their lives – especially their finances.  Each of us has a purpose in life but there’s a problem: Most people can’t live out their dreams because they’re too busy “making a living.”

Well it doesn’t have to be that way.  It’s my vision to help as many people as possible create personal success…and that includes financial success.

Money won’t make you happy,
but the lack of it can make you very unhappy

I hear people all the time say, but Wayne, “I don’t like to sell. How can I be successful in my own business?” 

My response to that statement may surprise you.   You don’t like selling, that’s great . . . because people don’t like to be sold.

Now, don’t misunderstand me here.  People do like to buy . . . they just simply don’t want to feel like they’re pressured into buying something.  If you understand this concept, then you understand the difference between Sales and Marketing.  The difference will make you . . . or break you.

“Life is like a ten-speed bike. Most of us have gears we never use.” — Charles Schultz

If you haven’t read it, Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich” will greatly influence your thinking. There’s a reason why it’s titled “Think and Grow Rich“, and not “Work Hard and Grow Rich” or “Get a Job and Grow Rich”

The fact is ­- people who work the hardest do not grow rich.

Have you ever heard someone say, “It’s just easier to do it myself than to get others to do it“?  If so, then they are shooting themselves in the foot and sabotaging their financial well being.

The number one reason people fail to achieve their financial goals is that they not grasping the meaning of the Time/Productivity connection. 

When people say, “I’m too busy, or I don’t have enough time” it’s because they lack the understanding of how powerful an investment it is to train others so you get more done. People fail here because normally it’s not rewarding to train others your expertise because maybe they’ll take it and profit from it without you.  That’s a loser mentality.
