The Secret To Your Success in MLM.
The natural way of the universe is positive. It is progressive. It is forward moving. You might say the attitude of the universe is ‘positive’. Progress can only be made when you are moving forward in your life. A positive attitude fuels that forward movement and gets you to your desired destination. Your posture, attitude and energy make a huge difference in how people will respond to you. Whether you focus on the good things or the bad things in life is a choice. Remember in this business your Attitude will control your altitude.
Whatever you tell yourself becomes a reality. If you are focused on the negative things in your business, if you are saying to yourself my up-line hasn’t put anyone in my business, this business is just so hard, everyone is against network marketing, it takes too long to make any real money, I can’t afford my auto ship, the company website isn’t good enough, etc. etc. etc. If this is what you are choosing to focus on, then I will tell you those thoughts will become a reality for you and this probably isn’t going to be a good experience. In fact, you may be on your way out already and don’t even know it.
A positive attitude, when presented in the presence of a negative attitude, will have a certain sense of vibrancy to it. You can literally feel the vibe of the positive attitude even in a very negative environment. A positive attitude is what separates chumps and champions! It’s interesting to think that the only difference between a leader, someone of great success, or a champion is how they respond to one single question. “WHY MUST I GO THROUGH THIS PAIN”? You see when things get tough, when things aren’t going the way you hope in any situation, the brain immediately asks this subconscious question. Immediately the brain begins its defense by responding with excuses for quitting. “It isn’t worth it, I don’t have time, this will never work, cut your losses now and get out”. (Sound familiar?) That is the brains way of creating justification for quitting so you can avoid any unnecessary pain. The one significant difference between winners and losers is how you will respond to this question. A loser will grab a hold of the justification and take the easier way out. No sense in going through this so I’ll just quit. Not a Champion! He will respond to that question by saying I must go through this pain, I must face these challenges BECAUSE my dreams, goals, desires are important enough to me that I must push forward. Look at all of these Olympic athletes right now. Do you think things have been tough for them at times? Do you think things have looked grim or hopeless at times? You bet~! The difference is they are winners. They are champions. They are successful because their ‘WHY’ was strong enough. Anything can be accomplished if you have a strong enough ‘WHY’.
Things to remember:
-A positive attitude is what determines the success of those who have overcome seemingly insurmountable odds.
-A positive attitude is what will take your dreams and make them a reality.
-There was a recent study that shows that positive people tend to live on average 7 years longer than negative people.
In close, I would also advise you to STAY AWAY FROM TOXIC PEOPLE! Avoid Negativity like the plague. Don’t let anyone come in your inner circle that doesn’t share the same beliefs, wishes, dreams as you do. I have certain people who call me every day and I purposely do not take their call. WHY? Because I know they are going to suck the life right out of me. Undoubtedly the call always turns to excuses for why they aren’t having success. How bad things are in their life, etc? I choose to avoid this to maintain my positive outlook on life. If you are reading this and this describes you, I would advise you not to call or talk to anyone if you are feeling down anymore. Start looking on the bright side. The only thing for certain is things could always be worse. The great thing for you is you can make an instant change because having a positive attitude is a CHOICE. You have the ability each day to choose whether you will be an optimist or a pessimist. Don’t be a complainer, whiner or blamer. Surround yourself only with people that inspire or lift you up. Involve yourself with activities such as reading inspirational books, etc. that lift you up. Remember; it is natural to want more, have more, do more and achieve more. Choose a positive attitude and you will experience the positive results that you truly want in life!

Standing Firm.. Is it A Secret?
Hi Travis,
Nice article.. However I would like
to include along with a positive attitude..
one must find 2 or more people to "bleed" their cause..
Like the Olympians.. They did not accomplish greatness with just..
their positive attitude.. They had people "bleeding" their cause..
Coaches, family, friends were under those Champs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I like to see my positives and my negatives as good vs. evil..
All the goodness and desire I have... I so believe is..
God wanting to be expressed.. And the negatives ( Satan) is there to stop
that goodness from being reality. Just as he tried with Jesus in the garden.
I would like to make a disclaimer now if I may..
These are my truths about positive and negative and by no means
are they meant to ram my God down anyone's throat or throw in..
anyones face. Are we good? GREAT.... ;-)
So yes the negatives come into play..
How are you going to play? Are you going to allow
the negatives to rule and therefore decide for you what
you truly want or are you going to play hard ball and..
decide to charge ahead knowing you will make it!
The choice is always ours isn't it?
I enjoyed this dialog Travis..
Peace,
JoAnn

The Secret To Success
Do not expect to get rich in 6 months or a year. Just set aside some "business time each day " and give yourself some days off.Just keep plugging. You are right to stay away from negitive people. Sometimes they are just "wait and see " people. I just touch base every other day with my good negitive friends and do not mention my business. That way I keep my friends and they may later down the road ask how I am doing.I place ads in 6 places, comment on things that interest me, and try to learn something new each day.Stay positive!
