Only If I could have lost motivation before I joined this income opportunity is how most folks feel "right after" they've joined a Network Marketing company. After, paying the initial start-up cost to become an Independent Distributor of their company, it seems that most folks that join an income opportunity, loose the enthusiasm that they captured prior to joining their business, but why?
Well, the pursuit of success within in the home business industry can be a challenging one, especially for those that's new to the industry or lack experience as an entrepreneur.
Wait a minute – did I just say the "E" word "entrepreneur"? Yes indeed, which leads to the first concept that we need to understand right after we join an income opportunity.
Believe it or not, You're an Entrepreneur.
If you're a U.S citizen or reside in a country with similar laws, and you're apart of a legal compliant Network Marketing company, then you're legally considered an entrepreneur or specifically, a small business owner. Contrary to the opinion of many individuals, Network Marketing isn't a get rich quick vehicle, although with the given opportunity one can literally write their own pay check with a significant amount of work.
While I'll admit that the previous statement is a bit redundant, many folks join a company and run their business with a "lets see if this works mentality" opposed to a "this is my business" mentality or state of mind, which is a huge difference and can have a great effect on one's results with their home business. Moving forward…
Ok, so the very first thing that you must do is understand that you have a business and the amount of work that you put in, is usually that amount that you'll get out. Understanding that you now have a business can play a huge role in your mental attitude and day-to-day business building actives.
Learning and Understanding your business/company model from A-Z
One of the very first thing that's essential to your success within your Network Marketing company, is understanding your companies overall business model. Understanding your company's vision, products… down to the compensation plan, is very essential as you'll find that with understanding comes belief. Your belief in what you're doing can ultimately lead to the amount of passion and faith that you'll have when sharing the business with your prospects.
Find out if you believe in your products as well as the opportunity.
Once you come to a great understanding of your company's business model, you'll be able to decipher if you believe in the company or not. This calls for a moment of honest with one's self and if you find that you don't believe in your company, or your only reason for being apart of the company is to obtain a pay check, then you may find it fairly complex to build the business.
Simplified your business in 5 minutes or less.
Once you come to an understanding of how your company works, and you find out if you believe in the model or not, assuming you do believe in your company, the very next step is to figure out how to summarize the company in 5 minutes. This is very important for prospecting purposes, as your ability to summarize a business model in a short period of time, can dictate how your prospects respond to you and the business once you initially introduce it to them. Their has been many times were I myself shared a business with someone, and spent far to long on different aspects of the company, which caused prospects to lose interest, and causing a prospect to lose interest, o to information overload is one of the last things that we want to do as entrepreneurs.
Develop a gamelan to present your business to others
Developing a game plan or marketing plan to get your business in-front of prospects on a consistent basis is key. There are several ways that you can introduce your business to prospects on a consistent basis, be it by traditional offline tactics or Internet Marketing strategies. In this article, I don't want to go into in-depth detail, about the various means of marketing and promoting a business, but below is a list of different strategies that you can implement in the process of introducing your business to others. I would advise you to thoroughly research each aspect of marketing below to see if any of these strategies, could be a fit for you and your business.
- Search Engine Marketing (Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.) – Rank on the first page of the search engines for your company name and related keywords. Ex: Company A, Company A Review, Join Company A, Company A Team.
- Social Networking (Facebook, Twitter, Linked'n, Google +, etc.)
- Network Marketing Communities (Empower Network, The Better Networker, Apsense, etc.)
- Forum Marketing
- Traffic Exchange
- Solo Ads
- Internet Radio Advertising (Blog Talk Radio Ads, Fiverr.com gigs,etc.)
- Blogging
- Youtube Video Marketing
- Postcards
- Business Cards
- 3 Foot Rule
- Local Classified Ads
- Home Business Magazine Ads
- Phone Broadcasting
- Local Radio Ads
Leverage resources that available from your company and/or up-line
Many companies have weekly webinars, conference calls, Internet Marketing Tools, etc. by leveraging these resources can eliminate the process of selling someone on your company's vision, products and compensation plan. More often than not, I summarize the company within in 5 minutes and redirect prospects to a video, webinar or even conference call in many instances to obtain more information on how the business works.
Each and every one of these different means of marketing can without a doubt help you position yourself/your business in front of more prospects on a consistent basis. I would also suggest that you look into Network Marketing training such as Maximum Leverage by Daegan Smith, as you'll find a wealth of doable information inside of the Maximum Leverage membership site, that can take you from 0 leads to hundreds of leads daily in a fair period of time.
Ultimately, make sure your company is one that you believe in and provides value to the end user from a consumer and income opportunity perspective, and stay consistent with building it to success.

Isola delle Correnti is something very special,you are in a sunny point where Sicily ends,you are there in the southernmost limit of the island and facing the beach of the municipality of Portopalo di Capo Passero along the splendid coastline of Siracusa,there is that tiny islet,you look at south and you see that channel of the Mediterranean called Canale di Sicilia,the Tunisian call it Channel of Kelibia,that town which is situated on Cap Bon,that promontory which is situated at 145,0 kms of distance from the Italian island where starts the Maghreb and south of the islet the beautiful Malta and its splendid archipelago.
Land of "Tonnare"the tuna fishing,hard job for the many Sicilian fishermen who since long time until today sail through that channel facing from one side Tunisia,spending days searching the best fish to sell on the markets,living a very dignified life in constant contact with the sea,its pitfalls and risks,admirable people who stay offshore long time.
In ancient time that coastline was an important cross point of cultures between Europe and North Africa,,historically those waters were protagonists of the Punic wars,the famous disputes between the fleets of the Imperial Rome and the most powerful city Carthage in that time two powers who fought to have the domain of an immense sea with open doors to other lands and the Isola delle Correnti was there looking at as perpetual witness of those naval battles,attacks and defences,sailing and landing.
The history continued with the Moorish that as in Spain in Andalusia crossed the Mediterranean landing in Sicily where they stayed for over two centuries before to be defeated by those who became for a period the new rulers the Normans,with the King Roger of Sicily who from those coasts prepared his incursions landing in Tunisia to conquer new domains later,a coast which for centuries was also the link between Sicily and Malta for intercultural interchanges since ancient Greek times.
Just 65,0 km from the wonderful and historic Siracusa,one of the most important and shining gems of the Greek colonisation in Sicily,Isola delle Correnti is a place where the sun shines all year,you can see along that brown beach of Capo Passero the turquoise waters unique for their colour,the smell of marine salt everywhere,the view of the cape,a Mediterranean vegetation.
A place of very mild springs,hot summers,warm autumns,winter is never cold and at the horizon that small uninhabited small island,once residence of the guardian of the ancient lighthouse which drove the boats,merchant ships and fishing vessels along the coast of the Southern of Ionian Sea.you are there in the most Southern point of Sicily where Bizerte and Tunisi at that latitude Tunisi are northern than that islet.
The old faro the lighthouse is today in ruins,originally the construction was developed on a rectangular plan with a small square in front of of the house of the guardian and with a strong protective wall and in the middle the lighthouse.
Isola delle Correnti has that name since the ancient Roman Empire times,when it was called in Latin language Currentium Insula,(Island of the currents) the name was for the change of the marine currents, currents,which can change in a few of kilometers off of the coast,sometimes gently,sometimes in day of storms and bad weather, insidious,all depend from the winds,when come the Scirocco,the waves are very high,sometimes you can sail very well in excellent conditions and only some kilometres offshore all changes and the sea shows another attitude,upset and insidious and that islet facing all that.
Isola delle Correnti is like an irregular shape,from a perspective along the along from west of the county road leading to Pozzallo the Strada Provinciale 67 at distance it seems as an eggs,while from the cape from Portopalo is the unique point where you can see its real shape which has a sort of headland on its northern side while the southern is pretty rounded.If you sail approximately a couple of kilometres south toward east of the cape you will have an excellent perspective of the entire islet.
Isola delle Correnti has very low shores and it is only 4,0 m of altitude on the level of the sea,the strong power of the Mediterranean often modelled its shape,there is a a string of earth linking in periods of low tides the islet to the Ionic coast of Portopalo,forming a sort of tombolo.
In winter temperatures can drop around the minimum of 6-7 degrees in January (very rarely), in early spring there are already temperatures that around the 25 º, 26º degrees the summers and the first autumn are very warm with temperatures with an average media over the 35º degrees,summer period anyway the evening and the nights are ventilated, with the Mediterranean breeze of the strait of Sicily which embraces the coasts of Siracusa.
On this small island, which has a surface around the 10.000 square metres today there are only the old lighthouse totally in ruin,the most relevant aspect is that since the year 1987 the Region Sicily included the Isola delle Correnti in a plan of Nature Reserve for a very interesting presence of coastal vegetation with some rare example of psammophilus relict and biocenesis halophilic.
For the rest on the islet you can find small Mediterranean bushes,a few sea lilies and small plants of wild capers,plants of ruchetta marina (a marine rocket),a kind of rucola grown in sandy areas similar to a small rocket,some scientists decided to explore the islet which some years ago started to host some species of insects very rare in the European continent.
Another interesting aspect of the islet despite its very small size is the presence of different kind of clays of different colours such as yellow,another one with a tendency to the ochre colour and white too.
What more attracts the attention are the seabed which is rich in some marine species of great interest for scientific research and for the exploration and diving lovers.Around that islet is very lovely to swim and to enjoy the magnificent crystalline waters of that corner of Sicily and another activity pretty loved by people
coming is undoubtedly the surf thanks the excellent waves generated by those famous currents.
That islet is also a point of stop of different species of migratory birds,gulls,some species of herons,red herons,albatros,maritime woodcock, of various which stop on the islet eating those small plants that the Mediterranean small vegetation offers them before to reach the coasts of North Africa so it is also a place very interesting for the lovers of that fauna migratory phenomena.
From the extreme northern tip of the islet for the photography lovers,there is also has a splendid view of the , in the late afternoon at sunset,it is a small paradise of lights and colours.
If you walk for approximately 300 metres north of the cape along the coast you will a small sharp promontory from there you will have a splendid view of the cape and the island,that tip form with another headland about 1,0 km further north an ample bay where the coast has a long pleasant straight.
The Airport Fontanarossa Vincenzo Bellini of Catania is situated at 114,0 km north of Portopalo di Capo Passero in about one hour and half driving you can reach that beautiful area via Siracusa along the motorway E18 until the town of Noto.Once you are there you to take a county road the Strada Provinciale SP 35 and from there follow the indication county Road SP 19 in direction Pachino.
If you are planning a trip to Sicily, i suggest a visit to that area of that beautiful Siracusa coastline,a splendid sea,crystalline and clean waters and a beautiful view of the small Isola delle Correnti a magnificent place to enjoy and admire where always the sea shimmers in the Most Southern Point of Sicily.

Simon Van Booy - The Illusion of Separateness
Pursued by Nazi soldiers, or old age, or shame, or handicap, or disease, or regret, the varied characters of Simon Van Booy's utterly compelling The Illusion of Separateness ($24.99) discover at their darkest moments of fear and isolation that they are not alone, that they were never alone, that every human being is a link in a chain we cannot see. This gripping, emotional, novel (inspired by true events) tells the story of several compelling characters: a handicapped German infantryman, a lonely British film director, a young, blind museum curator, Jewish-American newlyweds separated by war, a lost child on the brink of starvation, and a caretaker at a retirement home for actors in Santa Monica. The same world moves under each of them, so that one by one, through seemingly random acts of selflessness, a veil is lifted to reveal the vital parts they have played in each other's lives, and the illusion of their separateness.
Simon Van Booy grew up in rural Wales. He is the author of The Secret Lives of People in Love, Love Begins in Winter, which won the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award, and Everything Beautiful Began After, which won the ABA's Honor Award in Adult Fiction. He is the editor of three philosophy books, titled Why We Fight, Why We Need Love, and Why Our Decisions Don't Matter. His essays have appeared in the New York Times, the Daily Telegraph, and the Guardian, and on NPR.

This bimbo thinks paying off the debt is the way will solve all our problems.
I would support it , if she had said tax increase to support the yearly budget. In my opinion, if you want to spend the money, you should be willing to pay for it. How can anyone have a problem with that?
I posted the full interview (it's actually two segments) here:
I believe she wanted to offer her guests a talking point.
But what I know for sure is this, Americans will rise up by the millions and take back the govt. It will likely be messy at first like most revolutions but at the end will result in a freerer, less centralized govt. I am very optimistic about it and just like the brier patch rabbit, I say dont do it "wink" "wink"
The government knows that. Thats why they print more rather than tax. Itll come to that eventually and when it does itll be more than 40% and itll be ugly.
So why would I believe that after the media does its job of desensitizing everyone to having 40% taken, that the public will react any differently?
Here's an example of what happens when the gov't just wants your money to pay something off: We have an island right off of San Diego called Coronado, with a beautiful bridge between us. Years ago, the city council proposed a fee to cross the bridge, and promised to end the fee once the bridge was paid for. Didn't happen - not for many years, until the public finally got rid of the jerks who lied to us. But by then, they had done their damage in so many ways and had millions in their coffers. History has proven over and over that once you give in to a tax, it's irreversable. So, what happens after they get our money and pay the debt? You think they're going to stop stealing 40% from us? Not on your life! And that's even IF they use it to pay off the debt in the first place and not come up with some excuse to use it elsewhere - for the children! I just don't trust them at all to do the right thing. Nope. No way in hell will I EVER trust this or any gov't to take more of my money for mistakes and bad decisions they have made.
I wish I had your optimism about it. Perhaps you are right. I guess we would know by the reaction to such a proposal made by Congress, or the Dictator. But given how our reactions went to the wayside over the bail-outs and Obamacare, I really don't hold out much hope.
I am Zippy and I approve of this message. But you don't have to.

"I am so %^&*^ sick of this cult of Ron Paul. The Paulites. What is with these %^&*^ people? Why are there so many of them?" YouTube rant by "TheAmazingAtheist"
"We as a country have lost faith and confidence in freedom." -- Ron Paul
"May the Wings of Liberty never lose a feather..."
- Jack Burton
Yes, rob everybody of even more of their money and give it to the government so they can murder more people abroad, cage more people at home, and destroy the economy even more. Great idea!
I don't even want the debt repaid. The US govt should just file for bankruptcy and walk away from the national debt. Let the bastards who loaned money to the tyrannical govt we have lose their money instead of taxing me more to pay for govt spending I never wanted in the first place.
In 200 years the American people have replaced 1 dictator 3,000 miles away with 3,000 dictators 1 mile away.
It is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority.--Benjamin Franklin
No man's life, liberty or fortune is safe
while our legislature is in session.--Benjamin Franklin
I think the government should be held accountable to it's promises, but I do agree that it must declare bankruptcy. People who loaned the federal government money will obviously have to take some sort of deal and would receive a fraction of what they loaned, but there have to be consequences, just as there are in the private sector.
It would be great to have the majority of federal government assets repossessed by creditors. That, at least, would put hundreds of billions of dollars of assets (land, buildings, vehicles, precious metals, etc) back into the private sector where they can be put into much better use. It would also reduce the federal government's power and it would certainly increase caution when loaning to the federal government.
The United States is already getting bad enough, and this type of thinking is exactly what they want. They want people who actually care about liberty and the rights of the individual to just roll over and let them have their way, like man-children who were spoiled too much when they were young. Once again, buck that and all that comes with it.
