This is why I have been telling people to get out the "matrix" of corporate america. I spent 6 years working for a cable company that treated us like dirt, which rendered many of our employees (not me) to start treating customers like dirt (if you wonder why cable customer serivce is bad, its because the management is bad to employees). I became sort of "mentally unemployable" when I started reading books like Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Richest Man in Babylon, etc.. I left that company to start my own business, and like on queue, they fired tons of people right after I left. I knew then to never allow others (middle management, corporate) to determine my life again.Since then I have become sort of a Morpheus, extolling the virtues of working for yourself. I love Robert Kyosaki's Cashflow Quadrant, which I learned to get over to the side of being a business owner and onvestor, and not exchange hours or education for dollars, but to make my money work for me, whether I am working or not.I got into real estate and network marketing with an Inc. 500 company for this reason. And I have been helping people get out the "matrix" since then. It boggles my mind why people are still looking for just a job, when they should be looking for ways to get out of working a job even moreso. The corporate/employee world is a scam, you know it, I know it. Get out now!!!http://www.5linx.net/teamsvp/makeMoney.asp

Its all About Relationship!!!
The other day I had a day off and thought, "hmm what can I do or who can I talk to that I didnt know before to add a nother person to my network of friends and associates?" I decided to go to the mall about 5 minutes from my house. Its no secret that I am in the business of helping people make money or save money with my business opportunity and product line. I remembered that in the mall there are kiosks that are owned by entreprenuers who are looking to make additional income if at all possible. I went and passed out a few of my opportunity handbills, and said hello to a couple of folks.
All of a sudden a lady comes up to me and asks for my hand, I obliged just to see what she wanted to do with it (I thought it was a cologne pitch, honestly lol). She proceeded to shine up one of my fingernails with this tool. The product was wonderful to say the least, and if I had my gall, I would have purchased it on the spot as a gift to my wife. I decided instead, and said "let me see how bad she wants this sell?" I gave her my card to email me info on her product.
Why?
I wasnt being mean, I wanted to test out some of the things I have read so far about growing a business. We all know in marketing, and in business in general, if you can establish a relationship with a customer that business tends to repeat itself. I went back and handed the woman my card, and told her to "email me and I'll buy your product" (it was really good, I was amazed by it).
She looked at the card, kinda glanced over it with this look of "what is this for?". She then walked away off to the next person walking the mall. I dont know what she did with my card, but to this day I have not recieved an email from her about her product, which I was ready to buy btw.
Why is this important?
What happened there showed me that to her, I was worth enough for her to want my money, but not worth enough for a business relationship. So instead of potentially having a person who is in marketing, who has several blogs and message boards, active on Facebook and Twitter, and is a leader in my local church, raving about her product to my friends, family, and network, she got nothing in return, all by simply ignoring my card. I would give my right arm if I could have a customer say to me, "yes I want your product, all you have to do is send me an email!!" They would probably get more than one email from me..lol. Furthermore, when she gets new products out, she would have had an avenue to send out product updates to me, I probably would have gotten some of those also.
I learned a great lesson that day, as the customer mind you, that the businesses who are best able to establish relationships are going to be the most successful ones. This is imperative in todays climate where small businesses are taking it on the chin everyday from either more competition or consumers who arent consuming.
Business Is A Way To Make Money But Is More Than a Money Grab
I learned that even when I am passing out my handbills, cold calling, or simply walking into a business and asking to meet with the owner, my mindset should not be simply: ask to demonstrate the product- proceed to demonstrate the product- then ask for sale". That is the money grab method, and it is fast going extinct in todays marketplace. In some cases this may work, but it is more advantageous to have a little exchange between you and the person. They may not be interested in your product or opportunity, and thats fine, because every person is not the type of customer you want. However, they may refer you to someone who is interested, simply because you took time to exchange with them, or maybe get their information, and be a real human and not creepy sales guy.

Marketing Strategies: How You Can Create Your Own "Success Blueprint" by Dr. Maya Bailey
Have you often wondered how you can become even more successful? Has it ever seemed to you that you have a “glass ceiling” on your level of success? In spite of all your hard work, do you find yourself still falling short of having financial security? Do you see people climbing the ladder of success, only to take one step forward and two steps back?
This is not simply a case of bad luck or poor planning. We can only be as successful as the “success blueprint” embedded in our subconscious minds. This article describes ways that you can create your own “success blueprint”.
1. Become the deliberate creator of your life
What does this mean? This means that instead of feeling like “life happens to me” you begin to believe “I create my life.” This is really the difference between playing the role of the “victim” and declaring that you are the deliberate creator of your life.
If you find yourself complaining, blaming or justifying, then you are probably falling into the victim mode. The only payoff of that is attention but the downside is never having what you want. Change that mindset now and decide that you create your own level of success.
2. Start to identify self limiting beliefs
Here's some examples of self limiting beliefs that I hear a lot from people who feel "stuck":
I'm not good enough
I have to struggle to make a living
There's never enough money
As you identify the self limiting beliefs, don't be alarmed. Remember these are not facts they are only beliefs. And they can be changed. The only way to change them is to first become aware of them. You're already on your way to letting them go. So celebrate every belief you find as a weed in your garden that you can now discard.
3. Install empowering beliefs
Once you have decided to release the old self limiting beliefs because they are no longer true you are making space for new Empowered beliefs. For example:
I am highly worthy
Money comes to me easily and effortlessly
I work smarter, rather than harder
4. Become crystal clear on what you want
You might think that you know what you want if you say, "I want to be successful". Actually that is a very vague message. You have a much better chance of getting your desires fulfilled in creating a positive success blueprint, if you specify what you mean by "successful".
How many transactions would you be doing per month?
What would be your yearly income?
What kind of people will you be working with?
How many hours per week would you be working?
Specifically, what kind of work would you be doing?
5. Visually rehearse what you want to create
Have you heard that top athletes mentally rehearse their performance before an event? Did you know that Tiger Woods visualizes his golf strokes before he ever gets on the green?
In the same way, visualize yourself successful in your field. Whatever your niche market, imagine that you are successful in providing them with the service they need. See yourself receiving checks that reflect your full commission. Imagine just having sold a home. See the happy faces of the sellers as you bring them over a bottle of champagne. Whatever it is you're thinking of doing, visualize it first.
6. Step inside the visualization
In my 12+ years of coaching success minded professionals to double and triple their incomes, I find that they often skip this final step. And yet this is perhaps the most important step. Not only do you need to visualize what you want to create, but also you need to visualize yourself having it now, and feel what it feels like.
For example, imagine your dream, having already come true. Visualize yourself driving, your brand-new car (smell the leather) into the driveway of your brand-new house. Be in the living room of your new house, what is the view like? Picture the happiest scene possible in your new house, perhaps a gathering with friends and/or family. How does it feel to know that you have succeeded in reaching your dream? How does it feel knowing that you have an abundance of resources, not only for your own financial security, but also to give to others? When you feel it, you create it. Your thoughts and feelings radiate energies that magnify back to you what you want. So the more you can live in your future fantasy, as if it's happening right now, the faster it will come to you. Your subconscious mind does not know the difference between fantasy and reality. Follow the simple steps above, and create your own “success blueprint.”
Putting these ideas together will help you to create your own “success blueprint.” Your subconscious mind will receive the program it needs that determines your relationship to success.
