Good Morning!












"Good Morning, ma'am!," Avon sales reps would address you in such a warm greeting even if it is already passed six in the evening.


This always happens to me when I used to work at a private office as a data analyst with a regular 8 - 5 hours of work.


As a loyal user and distributor as a franchise dealer of Avon products even if I am not actively marketing and selling the products anymore at least once a month or once in every two months I would buy items for personal use. Stunned by their accolade of recognition, I asked them why do they always greet that way when in fact it is utterly dark outside.


Well, "Every hour of the day at Avon is morning. Mornings symbolizes the start of a new day. We want to treat every customers or clients that come our way with a fresh hello."


Vaguely true! Wow, such an understatement.


Yes, beginning the day with outright enthusiasm makes us go through the day with energy and look at it in a bright perspective. It is called "the law of attraction."

Visualizing and attracting a positive day equals to positive results. So, "the more energy you have in the business" and the more you smile while encouraging new walk-ins who can be potential customers and the more bubbly you are dealing with old and loyal customers and clients, the more sales you would accumulate for the day. Therefore, more profits incurred, you earn more money!

Lessons from A Day's Event


Saying what you mean to say, matters! Never say negative thoughts. It attracts depression and bad impression. When in a low spirit, all the more the one who hears negativities get blown by seemingly-not-going-the-way-we-want-things-to-happen.

Laugh on your mistakes. We are only humans. Infallible . . . . imperfect. Smile and sheepishly laugh like a child. Small things of imperfections are just minor wrongs that must be disregarded. Generally, the objective part of the whole event is what counts.

Always look at the bright side of things. Entertaining pre-conceived notions of rejections and resistances only result to a bad day.

Encourage and trust that the you deserve the greatest outcome of all your best efforts.

Lastly, have faith in every little thing you do!

Top Ten Truths Why Anyone Should Give Network Marketing a Try



When people hear the words network marketing, they all relate it to scam or a pyramid scheme. But why are there people who make it big in this industry? Read on and unveil the truths for yourself.


1. If you got to have more in your life, you have to be more. Yes, everyone some time in their life would feel nothing has happened in their life. You might have work. You have friends and you still have your eccentric but adorable family. Yet, you would come to a point where you will feel an indescribable emptiness. Longevity and substance counts. Enduring however long and difficult a new task or perhaps a project is develops you personally and professionally. Does it matter in what economic status you are now? There's always room for improvement. If you desire to uplift your low status now, you got to do something. The key here is to make a move, a step. Making that one first step is all it takes. It sure feels like a long race but try to remember this quote: "Perseverance is not a long race: It is many short races, one after another."


2. Settling for what is good enough is the enemy of the great. What's wrong with just being good enough? Actually, there's nothing wrong with just being good enough. But once you settle in what is only good, you will stop striving in doing what is better. Therefore, you would become content on what you are now and what you have, making you stagnant. Stuck forever in a situation or circumstance that you would not necessarily want to be in for the rest of your life. You stop dreaming. You become satisfied of what is only at hand. You stop pursuing your dream life - of what you really wanted to be when you were a kid. Instead of trying out new things, getting out of your comfort zone and unleashing your highest potential you do not come out of your shell. Try to think what this line of song is trying to tell you, "There's a hero if you look inside your heart." Definitely, you can be your own hero. We were all created in the image and likeness of God. God is great. We all have the potential to be great. So, you have the potential to be great. Have a self-introspection "and you'll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you."


3. Invest on having a good attitude this will become your number one most important weapon. Surely, there are many obstacles that you will go through once you pursue your dreams and goals in life. But doing things in a joyous atmosphere, possessing an optimistic and positive outlook in living life will make things easier for you and everything will turn and flow the way you want it. "A good attitude is contagious."


4. If you concentrate on your dreams and work on your goals, there is self-actualization. So, "what you focus on becomes your reality." What do you see in a dirty window? Exactly, the dirt in the window. If you have been presented a business opportunity and you are skeptical about it, you only see the "dirt" or the downside of it. But if you have seen the good side of it, you would focus on the advantages and what is good about the business. Then, you are inspired to get to the top just like the achievers of your chosen networking company or even exceed your up line's monthly earnings. You might even get passed your top leader. Aspire and believe! Act on your dreams now. Get amazed by your own unlimited potential.


5. Problems are unavoidable. We encounter circumstances along our way which are beyond our control. There are things in life and changes which are bound to happen. Well, "you cannot change what happens but you can only change your reaction to it." Instead, embrace changes and a new you certainly grows. Bring it on!


6. As the famous adage goes, "there is always a way." Now, it is our job to find that way. Make your goal the core of your being. Do not get preoccupied by interferences and distractions. Find a way to solve your problem and not focus on the problem itself. When you have a problem, try to write it down. Or better yet shout your problem on a vast space. Let it echo. The point is if you keep on talking about your problem, you don't get anything done. But if you do something about it, it starts to dissolve. After venting, think, sit, plan and act. Then, declare "I can, I can, I can, and I will!" Surely, it will pass like the past problems you have dealt before.


7. Your income will become the average of your five closest friends' incomes. From Jeff Olson's "The Slight Edge Philosophy." "Did you know that your income will tend to be the average of your ten best friends' incomes? (If having more income is a goal of yours, either get new friends or raise the income of the friends you have now!) If you want to raise the quality of your life, hang out with people who have been there and done that. If you want to be a success in business, hang around successful business people. Do you know why birds of a feather flock together? Because they're all going in the same direction. They share a common vision. If you're after a goal-any goal-go find the people who have achieved that goal, or who are well along the path to attaining that goal, and be with them, hang out with them, camp on their doorstep. It's called the Law of Association. It's a Law because it always works." Protect your attitude by believing in a Higher Power. Always only be around positive people. Help someone everyday. "It is one of the most beautiful compensations in life . . . we can never help another without helping ourselves." Stay away from the news! Why? It sensationalizes negativities in life. It generates pessimism instead of positivity. At least, achieve one of your goals everyday. Read self-improvement books. Listen to empowering motivational self-help speeches on leadership seminars.


8. If you desire transformation in your life, first you must change. Get ready with your metamorphosis.


9. A little sacrifice now won't hurt you. If your goal is to change your family's future forever, begin now. It is never too late. A move or a step will accrue in time. In the end, you will be surprised that you got to the top of the mountain all by yourself.


10. Know thy purpose. Search the reason deep in yourself. Everything begins with a purpose. And when you know the purpose of your life, you will have a sense of direction.


In knowing your purpose in life, it would not seem tiresome. Those who have tried network marketing especially its top elite and leaders that started out as 'small,' ordinary and average type of people would attest to this: When you know the purpose and reason why you joined a networking company, your life evolves. You will have a tremendous sense of self-fulfillment with all your accomplishments in life. For, it is only when you have found your purpose in life that it starts to have meaning. When you offer and do everything in life for the glory of God, all falls into place.
