Complain Less

Be careful to keep your personal challenges to yourself and those closest to you.

The people around you have challenges of their own and likely won't be able to give yours real attention. Also, in time (if we're awake), we begin to see what a complete waste of energy a complaint (or whine) is even to the people who might be most interested... ourselves.

Once we embrace this fact, complaining less should be fairly easy... until someone around us begins. At that point, we might have a tendency to join in. When we smile, we remember to do what we can to minimize this tendency. When we move, we express care for another's situation and help if we can.

Strive to be complainless.

To feel good and flourish, researchers say that people need a 3:1 positivity ratio. That means they need to hear three positive statements for every complaint.

Having a positive attitude has been linked to mind-body-spirit benefits including:

1. Greater creativity and increased intuition
2. Better cardiovascular health and reduced risk of stroke
3. Increased resilience and happiness

—"Positive Affect and the Complex Dynamics of Human Flourishing," by B. Fredrickson and M.F. Losada (2005).

Relatively speaking, many of us who complain about anything really shouldn't.

When the complaints begin among our circle of people, maybe we should be the ones who throw out the idea that many people struggle with far more real (and basic) challenges than we do.

That's when we might hear... "Well, it's all relative."

And when we hear that, we should remember (and maybe remind each other) that we're all human beings and relatively speaking, most of us with a roof over our head, food in our stomachs and work to contribute are living every day...

Relatively wonderfully.

Be Thankful

So many of us are lucky in some way. Some, even more so.

Occasionally, we'll have moments that remind us of our luck.

The positive moments...

1. Our work is recognized as meaningful by a colleague, manager, or customer.
2. A good friend or family member calls and brightens our day, reminding us of the wonderful people in our lives.
3. We're finally able to buy that special thing we've always wanted.

The challenging moments...

1. We'll see someone who appears less fortunate, or hear of a friend losing a job.
2. We'll see someone working in a job that seems physically difficult, or learn of a friend or colleague's new illness.

We're reminded, but... a little time goes by. A few distractions play out. A couple of things get in the way of the easy, and we find ourselves back to less than thankful (perhaps even complaining... again).

We need to more consistently approach our days and work with gratitude and remember that we're not entitled to either – that they are gifts.

And the most powerful way to express our gratitude is by serving others as well as we possibly can, to put their needs before our own (in whatever role we're in).

To be unable to work, to serve, and to have meaning to others... that is truly unfortunate, unlucky.

We should be more thankful for the opportunities we're given.

Ever caught yourself beginning a sentence with "Knowing my luck..." and concluding with something negative?

For many of us (even you), perhaps it should be "Knowing my luck, I'll win the lottery."

What are we doing!

One seventh or $1.5 trillion, of the U.S. economy today is devoted to the healthcare business, what Paul Zane Pilzer refers to as the "Sickness Industry."

However, by the year 2010, an additional $1 trillion of the economy will be devoted to products and services that keep us healthy, make us look or feel better, slow down the effects of aging, and prevent diseases from developing altogether.

The implications of the shift to proactive wellness are far reaching from health to beauty to food to medicine.

In 1908, Henry Ford's Model T launched the trillion-dollar automobile industry.

In 1981, IBM's PC launched the trillion-dollar personal computer industry, which grew so fast that PC sales surpassed U.S. auto sales in only ten years.

The trillion-dollar industry of the twenty-first century has arrived, and it promises to similarly revolutionize our lives and offer entrepreneurs and investors the opportunity to amass great fortunes.

This next big thing is the wellness industry, and Max International can show you how to state your claim now while the market is ripe.

In the book The Wellness Revolution, best-selling author Paul Zane Pilzer—a world renowned economist, lay rabbi, presidential advisor, college professor, and entrepreneur—has stated that the Health and Wellness Industry will be the next trillion-dollar revolution.

Already a $200 billion business, with most of its revenue coming from vitamin sales and health club memberships, the wellness industry is just now taking off. In just ten years, an additional $1 trillion of the U.S. economy will be devoted to providing healthy people products and services to maintain their health.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, investor, or distributor, I can show you how to get in on the ground floor of this burgeoning industry by explaining:

• The scope and potential of this budding business
• Why the $200 billion in proven demand is only the tip of the iceberg
• How demand for Max International products has exploded over the last year

A Defining Characteristic Of Success

I've discovered something that makes a huge difference in the success of an entrepreneur. It is a defining characteristic of the most successful people.

And you know what that defining characteristic is?

It's Vision my friend. It’s Vision.

I see a lot of people enter our industry with one thing on their mind and one thing only... Money.

And you know what else I see, many of those people are not creating the success they really want for themselves because as soon as their expectations aren't met right away they quit.

You want to know why the quit?

They have no vision. There is no “WHY” driving them. They are being driven by images of success and fantasies of how their life would be if only they had money.

And guess what? Even if they had 5 million bucks in thier bank right now, they would still be themselves.

Do you honestly think our problems will go away just because we have money?

Do you think all of the sudden life magically transforms, because we have hit a goal that we had in our mind, or having a certain amount of numbers on our bank statements?

There is a reason why people who win the lottery, or come across large sums of money are MORE MISERABLE AND BROKE 5 years from the day they got that money.

Think about that people who won a lottery and were surveyed 5 years later, were just as broke and actually less happy than they were before they won.

WEALTH is not about money in fact, true wealth is far from it.

True wealth is developed inside of you. It is something you cultivate within you, it's your attitudes, thoughts, feelings, heart, mind, body and soul in alignment with "true abundance" and "true abundance" is love, kindness, empathy, concern, sharing, wisdom, and other things that are hard to put into words.

Most people wonder why they aren't making money in there new business, is it because they have not created the wealth first? Money is not wealth, money is a byproduct of wealth

Do you really know how powerful it is to have a VISION?

Do you know how powerful it is to have a purpose behind what you do, that is FAR above just satisfying your own desires?

The entire world will stand with you when you have a vision!

Later we will learn how to cultivate your vision

Yours in Prosperity

The secret to excelling DURING Tough Times

In today's economy, there are two groups of people.
One group will struggle to achieve in this economy - and will rarely find happiness. How they live 5, 10, or 15 years from now will be a carbon copy of how they live today.
You may be surprised to learn that the other group will improve their lives because of the economy!
Yes, this group can recite stunning personal success stories - one after another. And their life satisfaction today is off the scale. Give them a month, and they can accomplish miraculous feats.
In just a moment, you'll discover the unknown key that determines in which group you may spend the remainder of your life.

The secret to excelling DURING Tough Times

[Group A]
This is the group you hear most about in troubled times. This group believes that the economy has swallowed half the nation.
The people in this group brace themselves for the worst to come. So they wait. They wait in fear. They wait to improve their lives - not knowing what's coming, if it's coming, and when it's coming. Like victims, they wait. And will continue to wait until someone informs them that the economy is strong again.
As they wait … life's grand opportunities pass them by.

[Group B]
There's also a smaller second group of people you rarely hear about. These people don't WAIT.
They Just DO IT.
In fact, the people in this group could care less how THE economy is doing. Because THEIR personal economy is doing great.
While the rest of the country is licking their wounds and waiting, these people refuse to participate in the economic troubles. In fact, they can't. Because they're too busy achieving their dreams.
Yes, people in this second group have plenty of money, a secure job, and a promising future. But that's not why they're able to live their lives so freely.
They have something more powerful - something that can't be taken away no matter how tough times get.
Something that will turn impossibilities into actualities and can make the coming year the most exciting, successful year of their life.
Simply knowing it can mean the difference between surviving in Group A. Or thriving in Group B.
I'll share with you what they know.

How to scale any obstacle - ANY MOUNTAIN - before you

Right now, as people trudge through today's economy, many of them are taking a giant step backwards. Any and all progress they made in their careers, their finances, their health have been erased.
The truth is: These WILL NOT be the only tough times you face. There will be more. Perhaps it's the death of a loved one. Or losing a job. Or a health concern. Maybe it's another downturn in the economy a few years from now.
If you never learn how to excel during these tough times - you'll never get anywhere. Because for whatever progress you make, you'll take a giant step backwards when times are tough.
The answer to achieving your dreams?

Excelling during tough times.

It was revealed some two hundred years ago. In Australia of all places.
More than two hundred years ago, the English colony of Sydney, Australia, faced problems that would make our current economic concerns seem trivial.
Besieged by an ocean on one side and a great mountain range to the west, food was scarce.
Unless they could cross the mountains and exploit the fertile land, everyone would starve.
Now that's "tough times"!
After many deadly attempts to cross the mountain chain, it was declared that the mountains were unconquerable. Because so, the range was named The Barrier Mountains.
Today, I be the first to tell you that every time you give a situation a negative label, you reinforce the power of the negative forces in that situation.
So, naturally, the people became convinced that the Barrier Mountains were, indeed, uncrossable.

(Let's just call these people Group A - see any resemblance?)

Well, in 1813, three young, adventurous men decided they were going to go where no man had - the other side of The Barrier Mountains.
They studied every trip that had been made.
What they found will surprise you.
What they found is the unknown key to your best life.
They determined that every single one had failed because they all crossed through the valley approach. They all followed the hollows path of the hills, but the hollows paths all led to steep cliffs.

They all failed because they took the easy way.

These three men realized the key to winning at life. The toughest way IS the winning way!
Needless to say, these three men had the first colonial view of the great fertile plains of
Australia. They succeeded. They saved the colony.

Now, let me ask you:

What mountains appear right in front of you?
Is your mountain your career? Your health? Your financial strength? Your relationships?
Even in the most discouraging situations. Even facing the largest and steepest mountains, you can maintain high levels of achievement, satisfaction and happiness.
The secret lies in a the setting of specific and practical goals to help you become MORE TOUGH than the toughest times.

The Missing Link for Growing Your Business

This was an E-mail sent to me from Tim Sales today

Hey Bob,

Of all the skills you can possibly develop to grow your network marketing business, one stands head and shoulders above the rest.



If this skill is developed you'll find your downline grows without much effort. Of course I'm not suggesting you won't have to work... what I am saying is: the work won't be so frustrating.



Picture what it would be like if you could - almost overnight - begin converting more prospects into distributors. How would your life change?



Would your income take an immediate jump? I'm sure it would.



Would you feel fulfilled that you set a goal and achieved it? I'm sure you would.



Would your family and friends-even the ones who doubted you could ever achieve any success in network marketing-begin to ask you more about what you do (Because now they're interested after they've seen your success)?



I know they would! I've had it happen to me - and I've seen it occur many times with my downline.



What one skill could possibly do all this for you?



Effective Communication.



Without it, your dreams of a massive downline and easy profits will never be reached. With it, everything gets easy and the money just gets ridiculous!



How To Master Effective Communication



Developing communication skills has been difficult for many. More than likely, this dates back to your elementary school experience.



If you struggled with English class...or... you dreaded presenting a book report in front of others... or... you didn't like to read, all of these factors could have played a major role in shaping your perception about your abilities to present to a prospect and convert them into your organization.



When I hear stories about how someone's third grade teacher would give negative marks for their presentation, or, how a seventh grade teacher would immediately critique a presentation someone made in front of the entire class - it makes me want to confront these teachers and tell them how damaging their remarks are, were and will continue to be...



...and, that despite their years of training and experience, they really don't know how to teach the art and science of communication.



I know - I used to be one of these guys. Someone who thought I couldn't talk to prospects well or effectively.



If it wasn't for my persistence in developing this critical skill, I would have NEVER achieved my financial dreams.



Once I developed this skill, my downline and in.come skyrocketed.



Why? Because my ability to effectively communicate to prospects enabled me to convert a larger number. Therefore, as I'm sure you know: the more people in my downline, the more money I made.



But I didn't stop there. I knew for breakthrough success, I'd have to train my downline in the same skills.



No one was teaching it. So, I taught it myself.



Best of all: you can now get trained in the same communication skills I used to build and train my 56,000 person downline.



It's a simple and effective system you can use to train yourself and others. When you master this skill, your ability to convert prospects will become so easy...especially in this down economy.



I personally used this through - TWO tail-spinning economies. Two booms and busts. Two periods where people were making money... and two periods where they thought the money was gone and no one was spending.



But here's a fact you may not know: Network Marketing actually grows when the economy tanks.



But, your business won't grow if you can't communicate effectively.



To help your business grow right now, I've put together my own Stimulus package. I'm knocking 20% off my very popular Brilliant Communicator CD set and Training Course but you've got to act fast.



So click the link below and learn how to communicate like a pro and watch your downline and in.come reach new heights. You deserve it. Do it for yourself and reap the benefits of learning this skill...

Dedicated to your success, Tim Sales

Someday Soon, You Will See (I Hope)

Hey Team (and friends)
The other day I was sitting out in the oil field watching the pump jacks go up and down and up and down and, well you get the point. It started me to thinking about how our business is a lot like those pumps, my company put money and time into producing those wells and now they just sit out there and produce income for the company.

Everyday they provide money to our company with out ever having to do anything but some maintenance ever now and then.

That's the true meaning of residual income. That's what Ive been trying to tell everybody for the last few months, that if you will work on building a team of people that get this concept you can basically never work for the rest of your life.

Could you imagine getting up in the morning and not working if you didn't want to and still be getting payed for it, FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE


Anyway something to think about
Bob Adams
