I am a newbie in Internet Marketing but am a seasoned entrepreneur.  Having majored in business I really thought that such education would be enough for me to succeed in any business of my choosing!

In 2002, I established Bella Gemma Jewelry and while it thrived, I felt lost and confused.  When a good friend of mine introduced me to a Network Marketing opportunity, all I could think of was "no way - no network marketing for me!"  Nevertheless, I was intrigued by friends who were succeeding at it so I figured, why not give it a shot.   Looking back, being involved in this industry has been one of the best decisions I have ever made in my entire life!  I always say:  "Network marketing business is a simple business but not an easy business."  Once you get involved, prepare yourself for a constant evolution.  I don't even recognize my life now from where I was only 2 1/2 years ago!

Our group Easier Done Than Said is about connecting with others who - like most of us - struggle with jumping in head first...A good friend Marshall Sylver once said "fail, forward, fast".  Your indecision is a decision so just decide on doing something...Yes, there are distractions, obstacles and challenges that stop us from taking a step towards the right direction. 

First need to Go Back To The Basics and understand that there will be people who are going to be ahead of you - they will be ahead of you and have more toys, more knowledge, more gadgets, more influence.  The key is to look at what they're doing and realize that you too could get to where they are if you keep on pressing on and just never give up.  Winners never quit and quitters never win, as an old adage goes.

When things get a bit overwhelming and almost unattainable, that's when we need to keep on telling ourselves "It's Easier Done Than Said"...talk is cheap...faith without action is dead.  Follow the leaders, do a little something everyday and realize that procrastination never got anyone anywhere...

If you have any suggestions on time management, books to read, websites to visit, and strategies to implement in it's simplest terms, we just might be able to "connect the dots" and find the missing link from where we are to where we want to be! 

First, let's go back to the basics and ask yourself...where are you headed?  What do you believe is your ultimate purpose in life and how does that tie in with everything that you are doing in your life right now?
