I spent some quality time with Mariela tonight watching a movie I had not seen yet.  “How to Succeed in Business without really trying,” and it got me to thinking about network and internet marketing.  Is it the whole bailout mentality? Or what my mentor calls the welfare mentality?  I mean, how is something for nothing really even possible?  Are we seeing the shifting and rearranging of the corporate business models due to the behavior that they drive in the field or is it because of the greed and ego of the top executives?

So if you get a little time to watch the movie, “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying,” I highly recommend it.  It’s a well-rounded, fun musical about the foibles of the long gone days of the corporate world of big business.  It did give me the inspirational push to break through some attitudes that have been keeping me at a bit of a stand still in my network marketing business.

I recently was blessed with a suggestion to watch an interview with Frank Kern, John Reese, and Anthony Robbins.  And the interview took me back to a time in my life where I had to make the decision to live or die.  And this interview talked about following through and why some people do manage to be successful yet most don’t.  In my particular case it was when I sobered up from drug addiction and alcoholism.

But the best thing that I gleened from the interview is that I have been led by either positive or negative emotions into following my dreams of being a motivational speaker.  The negative emotions led me to a career that served me well for many reasons for many years and that is new and remodel construction.  I recently had to let go of this field to pursue my dreams-not easy to acknowledge all of the reasons why I took up the career in the first place.

But the interview, my decision about following my dreams, and taking the necessary steps to achieve them led me to an underlying feeling I had associated with my choice of becoming a professional network marketer.  I remember the first time I publicly acknowledged being sexually molested as a child, and all the feelings associated with it.  I recently found that I had those same feelings around telling friends, colleagues, and former business associates about making the change from construction to network marketing.  I have found that this was my break through point in alot of ways and am grateful to have a team, a mastermind group, a loving woman, and God to take me into a new and exciting world.
