Business and Finance

The fact is, that to do anything in the world worth doing, we must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in and scramble through as well as we can.
~Robert Cushing

Let us strive to improve ourselves, for we cannot remain stationary; one either progresses or retrogrades.
~Mme. Du Deffand

One of the first things I usually say at the start of a motivational talk is “winners and losers are predetermined but only the winner knows it”! I say this because I believe it with all my heart. A winner jumps into a situation and proceeds to deal with it by any means necessary. While a loser sits back and makes excuses as to why something can’t be done. A winner thinks on his feet and moves forward. While a loser says they need more time to look at the situation. A winner starts with a good plan and makes it better as the situation calls for it. While a loser will always be planning to do something and never start doing anything. A winner makes good “breaks” in business. While a loser hopes for a “break” in business. A winner will congratulate another winner when he is bested by them. While a loser will make excuses and cast blame. Get the picture. I thought you might. Always remember that the easiest thing to do when something goes amiss is to blame or make an excuse. Don’t do it! As my grandmother would say “put on your big girl panties and deal with it”. Have a reputation as a “can do” kind of business professional not a whiner. For years I have been known affectionately as the “trash man” and I love it. I earned this reputation in another career and it carried over into my current businesses. You see I believe that I can sell any property. So properties other Realtors would pass on because of condition or some other oddity, I get sold. You’ve got a house with a tree in the middle of it after a hurricane, call me, I can sell it. I have earned the reputation as the “trash man” and I relish it.

No matter what MLM
business venture you are considering embarking on, the first rules, and I think the most important rule, is to research your potential sponsor, for those that don’t know what a sponsor is, it’s the person that referred you to the business, they will get a payment from the host company when you join up under him or her.

The problem with joining an MLM business via the internet, is it’s very informal and void of real human interaction, you simple click a link and follow it to a sign up page and away you go, you have your business opportunity and you don’t ever know who recruited you.

If you’re lucky it’s someone that is very proactive, someone proud of their business and considers you a new associate of their team, they communication with you via email or phone, be ready to tutor you in the fine art of network marketing and answer all your questions or concerns, they might even help you get a downline started by dropping some of their sign ups under you, if the program permits.

The national cardiac arrest survival rate in the U.S. is at a dismal 5 percent or less and approximately 75 percent – 80 percent of sudden cardiac arrests occur at home. Recognizing that far too many Americans aren’t prepared to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) when it’s needed, the American Heart Association created a simple, affordable way for people to learn CPR in less than 25 minutes, for under $30 – CPR Anytime™ for Family and Friends. Everything needed to complete this self-directed CPR training comes in one kit, which can be used in the convenience of the living room or family room. A single kit allows an entire family to learn CPR. The kit includes a one-of-a-kind CPR manikin, 22-minute DVD and resource booklet.

The CPR Anytime manikin is an inflatable version of the traditional CPR manikin, designed exclusively for CPR Anytime for Family and Friends by Laerdal Medical Corporation. An instructional DVD walks users through each step of the training, from inflating the manikin, to doing chest compressions and rescue breathing. The CPR Anytime for Family and Friends program allows users to keep the kit, so it can be used in a variety of training settings — from community group meetings with multiple trainees to families and individuals at home. The American Heart Association’s goal is for each person who receives a kit to take it home and share it with other family members, increasing the number of potential rescuers. The kit also allows families to refresh their skills whenever they can.

Team Building is not a task as tedious as it is thought to be. In team building:

1. One should not go too much in the technical details. ie. seeing and analysing too much details about the candidate

2. One should follow his heart and then too be in the limits of professionalism. This can be done this way – for example – you know a prospective person whom you think can handle the task but you also have met another person who is more technically qualified to do the task. In this case, you should always see if the person whom you are considering for the team should have an inbuild spirit to at least follow what you say and add a bit of his own brains in such a way that you succeed. Meaning – that he should have his own brains and not just blindly follow what you say

3. You should always think that the person you are selecting does not say too much yes sir and no sir. The less he says ‘yes sir’ and ‘no sir’ and he more he is comfortable and relaxed way he behaves with you, the more you should put his chances up to be in your team.
