Mark Hoverson’s Underwear

              Mark Hoverson, La Perla, Sex, and My Pastor-What the…!

           And What Could Mark Hoverson Have to Do With Any of this?                        (Although he is pretty hot these days:)

 

While speaking at the No Excuses Summit in Vegas, Mark Hoverson asked if we thought he could sell underwear for $200. Of course, most shook their heads vehemently and thought he was crazy. He went on to say that most married men hunger for the connection of sex, but millions of marriages are starving for it.

 

John Eldridge, in his book, Wild At Heart, put it this way, “Women are tired, and men are bored”, covering the same subject. I also recommend The Five Love Languages, if you want to learn more about expressing love in a way it will be better understood. And yes, sex is one of the five, under the broader category of touch. The Five Love Languages of Children is about applying these principles with your children, especially the ones you but heads with; but I digress……

 

Pastor Mel speaks every year on relationships and family, and devotes a whole sermon to the same topic, marriages starving for lack of sex, and how important it is in a marriage. He has great visuals and jokes, so he commands everyone’s rapt attention. Hopefully, everyone leaves with a better understanding of how men and women are wired, and the mission at hand.

And the $200 underwear? La Perla comes to mind, and seems to be doing just fine in that department. In fact, $200 is usually the low end of their product line. Hoverson hit the target like a preacher, as a very quiet audience listened to him ask, “How much is your marriage worth?”

Pastor Mel put it this way: pay attention to your marriage relationship and don’t go to bed in socks and a raggedy T shirt. Keep your bedroom a sanctuary.

The point? Price is only an issue in the absence of value. Making the value clear to your prospect and understanding it yourself, whatever you are selling, is of paramount importance. Do you value yourself, your business, and your vision enough to give up the time and/or money needed for education, mentorship, consistency, prospecting, honing your skills, and personal development?

 

There is a price for everything we do. It all comes down to this – do you want to pay the price of regret, or the price of change?  Will you be saying I wish I had, or I’m glad I did?

 

For specific strategies to achieve your vision see below and move your vision ahead.

To Your Success,

6 Reasons Why Personal Development = Business Development

6 Reasons Why Personal Development = Business Development


490f6c77 002d3 073c4 400cb8e1 225x300 MLM and Personal Development

 

Now why would personal development have any bearing on business success for  network marketing entrepreneurs? Because YOU ARE YOUR BUSINESS. You need to first attract a team, then help others grow their teams, and most importantly grow and develop leaders in your teams.

  • You must develop and brand yourself as a leader.  To be  authentic you must become the leader your business needs because you  attract who you are, not what you WANT. Look at the leaders you admire and list why. I bet the list is all about character(istics) and qualities, not what they have or do. Now, do you think they just woke up one day and owned empires? Empires require work, persistence, practice, mentorship for guidance, and many failures and mistakes to foster learning.  Many quit at that point, leaders get back on the horse.
  • Being Doing Having. Most people think that if they do what task is needed, they will then have what they want, so they can be who or what they want (successful, at peace, secure, happy, a good parent, leader…). However, for you to achieve the life you want, the equation is BE who/what you envision first in order to do what is needed, so you will have what you want. And being, seeing in your mind is a muscle that needs a lot of exercising, which most people don’t understand or practice.
  • Brain Washing. Network marketing leaders have been accused of being brainwashed and trying to brainwash others. Guess what? Our brains need to be washed! Most children hear 8 negative comments for every positive one, while it takes 5 positive comments to cancel out the effect of one negative on our brains. Just think about how much conscious work that takes to override negative programming! Books, CDs, videos, mentorship and association enlarge, empower, and guide . You will become like the 5 people you associate with the most. The problem I have seen is that most people, once they become aware of this, will do just enough to counter the negative, but not enough to propel them forward into positive force field territory, where the real achievement lies. Look at how champion athletes condition and program themselves or how neurolinguistic programming (NLP) works.
  • Consistency is important. You will not attract or grow the leaders you need to take your business to the next level unless you learn how to be a leader of leaders, teaching and helping others to grow. People will not trust or follow a leader who is not consistent because they can’t count on or trust him/her.
  • To lead, you must learn how to follow. Many overachievers and entrepreneurs shoot themselves in the foot because they let their egos stand in the way of being humble enough to be mentored. Until you learn how to trust, be transparent, and seek wisdom and skills from mentors, you will not be able to help your team  or leaders grow. You are the model they will follow and leaders lead by example, from the front. There is a big difference between management and leadership.
  • The law of confession works. That’s why it’s a law icon smile MLM and Personal Development Empowerment takes hearing and speaking what we want, to feed our belief and envision achievement.  The physical act of speaking it and hearing it is way more powerful than seeing or reading the information. Just listen to Tony Robbins or study neurolinguistic programming (NLP).  A wise sage once said, “I tell people they can have what they say, but they keep telling me what they have.”

In other words, what got you where you are today is not going to get you where you want to be tomorrow!

Wise Government

Thomas Jefferson

“A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned – this is the sum of good government.”

“I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending to small a degree of it.”

Thomas Jefferson

Gory and the Glory – Fascinating Facts About Gold

Heritage

Despite its unrivaled properties, gold is an inert material. It does nothing until man discovers it, mines and refines it and bends it to his will. So the history of gold is very much the history of civilization. Here are some points in time where that history was made.

12 Signs of a Perfect Business

(1) The perfect business sells the world, rather than a single neighborhood, city or state. It has an unlimited global market, now more important than ever, since world markets have opened up to an unparalleled extent.

(2) The perfect business offers a product which enjoys an “inelastic” demand, a product that people need or desire – almost regardless of price.

(3) The perfect business sells a product which cannot be easily substituted or copied. The product is original or it’s something that can be copyrighted or patented.

(4) The perfect business has no employees.  Today’s example of this is the much talked about “virtual corporation,” which might consist of an office with three executives, where literally all manufacturing and services are outsourced.

(5) The perfect business enjoys low overhead. It does not need an expensive location, large amounts of electricity, advertising, legal advice, high-priced employees, large inventory, etc.

(6) The perfect business does not require big cash outlays or major investments in equipment. A major reason for new business failure is under-capitalization or cash flow problems.

(7) The perfect business has no accounts receivables and enjoys cash billings. It does not tie up your capital.

(8) The perfect business is relatively free of government and industry regulations, (and if you own your own business, you know what that means with this one).

(9) The perfect business is portable or easily movable. This means that you can take your business and yourself anywhere you want — Nevada, Florida, Texas, Washington, S. Dakota (states that have no income taxes), or Monte Carlo, Fiji, Costa Rica, Switzerland or the south of France.

(10) Often overlooked, the perfect business satisfies your intellectual and emotional needs. There’s nothing like being happy to go to work. When that happens, you’re not working, you’re having fun.

(11) The perfect business leaves you with free time. In other words, it doesn’t require your labor and attention 12, 16 or 18 hours a day. Can you say 4 hour work week…..

(12) The perfect business is one in which your income is not limited by your personal output. Lawyers and doctors have this problem because they are trading time for dollars, but there are only 24 hours in a day. In the ideal business you can sell 10,000 customers as easily as you sell one, which is why network marketing is the perfect business.
