I can agree with that. The thing is that most successful people are successful because eventually they learned how to take personal responsibility. And if a person does not learn that step right there than the odds are that they will not achieve success. That being said you will rarely hear anyone admitting that they are a self made failure.

Individuals like that suffer from what Napolean Hill calls the Fifty-Five Famous Alibis Of Old Man If. There is always an excuse why these folks cannot move past pauper status.

This topic brought to mind a great quote I found in Michael Oliver's outstanding book on dialog "How to Sell Network Marketing Without Fear, Anxiety or Losing Your Friends." I posted this quote where I could see it often. It goes...

Watch your Thoughts, they become your Words,

Watch your Words, they become your Actions,

Watch your Actions, they become your Habits,

Watch your Habits, they become your Character,

Watch your Character, IT becomes your Destiny!

Hey Freemoney!

Right on about this article.

If you don't end up self-made, you end up other-made.

You have choices. What does your conscious REALLY tell you to be doing.

If you end up with the Lemons, and make the lemonade, better add the sugar.

Best,

Back to that mind-set thing again!!! We can never be reminded of it too often. I like the way to state it Dean, "self-made millionaire or self-made pauper"...make your choice and take action.

That's right- wise words to live by, friend.

It's why we chose network marketing. It wasn't the high attrition rate, or the failure rates of those who go in unprepared expecting to find the pots of gold.

It was because it's simply inside us - We are ÄLL "self made" after all. And the most important thing for any network marketing business or business is traffic. The more targeted prospects that see your business both offline and online, the more income you will earn; the better you will get at advertising.

I suggest looking into various niche PPC search engines if you are one hundred percent serious about your marketing efforts. Some out there that are very unknown such as www.crawlingthenet.com reap very big benefits for seasoned marketers.

I am not self Made I owe where I am to a Team of leaders. I am a Blue Personality Type I don't enjoying doing anything alone. Especially not Business. I would never Blame someone if I do not succeed. But if I have no Passion for something and I do not Love it and have fun I wither. Hard for some to understand. Now That I understand that I know I owe my success to alot of Leaders that helped me get out of my own way. Thats my story and I am sticking with that.
And I know Millionaires that give Credit to others for their Success.

The wonderful thing I notice in a post like this is the attitude of people who truly understand network marketing and believe it's in their own actions and desire to succeed that determins your ultimate success or failure.

If you read some post by the Anti MLM crowd you'll notice more of a blame than take personal responsability attitude. The constant development of a take resposability attitude is one of the outstanding aspects that just seems to be built into this great industry.

I can't agree with you more, we are ALL Self Made! We create our life, no matter what circumstances that comes and goes. Even if leaders helped, as they ALL should, it is still the person who grows. In order to continue growing,you have to commit yourself to growth. This is the process of making self whatever you desire to be. When things happen out of our control, we have to find the way to take control. If you want to be a Self Made Millionaire.....become one.....its totally up to you.

It is what you think that counts.
Sometimes opportunity comes in a different form and from a different direction than what we expect.
That is one of the tricks of opportunity, sometimes it comes disguised in the form of misfortune or temporary defeat. Maybe that is why so many fail to recognize opportunity.
Know what you want and be determined to stand by that desire until it is realized. We are in control of our thoughts and thoughts are your entire destiny and the rewards to come.
