Your Contact List - The Lifebood of your Business

If you have found something great that can truly help people - then you should be sharing it with everyone you know right?

It's not about bugging your friends and family. It's simply sharing what you have found. Some will be interested, some won't. And that's ok.


Warm Market Contact List
Your first assignment is to put together your contact list. This will be everyone you know, have met, care about, do business with, and especially know you can help.

Why start with your warm market?
Because these are the people YOU CARE about most - and who you should help to learn about safer products. Help them make extra money.

Because they trust you, so they will listen to what you have to say

Think of names to put under each subject:

RELATIVES
mother
father
daughter
son
Aunt
Brother
Cousin
Sister
Uncle
grandparents


FRIENDS

WEDDING GUEST LIST OR GUEST BOOK

OLD YEARBOOKS

ADDRESS BOOK (that you use for Christmas cards)

DO NOT send a MASS EMAIL to your friends and family!

TAKE the time to talk with each one. See how things are going. See where you can help. Or simply ask them if they'd like to have a look at it and see what they think, or give you some suggestions on doing your presentation.

If someone says they are busy, not right now, that's ok. Ask again in 6 months or a year or 2. Perhaps things have changed down the road and they DO need your help or might be open to hearing about how they can make extra money.

Most importantly - have fun!

Belief, Action, Results (Tony Robbins)

How can you Achieve Success?

No matter what business job, career you're in the following information is meant to help you find out What is going to MAKE YOU FOLLOW THROUGH and do what it takes to achieve success.

#1 WHAT IS SUCCESS?
Success changes, success is individual. For some people making $500/month is success. To others it's $10,000 a month.

So On paper, write down What is YOUR idea of YOUR OWN success?

WHAT IS YOUR GOAL?

#2. Let go of FEAR
In order to do what it takes to get done what you need to get done to reach your goal you NEED to let go of FEAR.

People who follow through and achieve success are MORE afraid of what's going to happen if they don't succeed than they are of failing.

READ THAT AGAIN.

People who follow through and achieve success are MORE afraid of what's going to happen if they don't succeed than they are of failing.


#3 Let go of PLAN B
When you make a plan B in your head - "Well if this doesn't work out then I'll get a job, or I'll do something else" you are SETTING YOURSELF UP FOR FAILURE.

STOP thinking of plan B - PLAN B assumes that you are going to fail Plan A!

#4 Stop building a business or doing what you're doing to prove something to anyone else. PROVE IT TO YOURSELF.

#5 DON'T SETTLE
If your goal is $5000/month don't stop at $2000/month STICK with your plan, REACH your goal.

#6 You don't need to achieve your goal to FEEL this power of following through. You just need to have PROGRESS.

#7 Are you in a MUST situation or a DESIRE situation?
Do you NEED To make more money, or do you WANT to make more money?


#8 RECOGNIZE WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU'RE CAPABLE OF


#9 condition your mind - do something every day to make yourself better - to move your business forward - then you'll get momentum and progress

#10 are you HUNGRY for success? If you're not - then get around people who are and you'll feel it.

It's just 1 step at a time.

When someone is CERTAIN that they can do something and get a result then you'll do it.

If it's a must for you - you gotta make it work.


POTENTIAL
What is the human potential?
Does Melaleuca have the potential to pay you what you need? or want? YUP that's proven
What do you think your potention is?

ACTION
The amount of potential you think you have will determine how much action you take.

RESULTS

BELIEF
Results will re-affirm their Belief in their potential

Usually it starts with you seeing your potential, taking action, getting your results, which then show you that YUP I was right BELIEF that I was right about my potential.

So what happens to people who don't get the results they want? What happens when people don't BELIEVE in their own potential?

Well if you don't believe, then you don't have much potential, then you don't DO much and don't get much for results. and THEN because your results sucked you don't believe in the business or yourself or the potential and it's a horrible downward spiral.

HOW DO YOU GET OUT OF YOUR RUT?

BELIEVE. Do you know for certain that you CAN achieve your goals with Melaleuca??

If you make your WHY and have a strong WHY and BELIEVE that we can give you the results you need what will happen?

Well, you'll have more belief, which will make you realize that you have more potential, then you'll take more action and get more results.

HIGHER results means progress and gives you MORE beliefe more potential, more action MORE results.

ANOTHER WAY TO GET PROGRESS

If you BELIEVE in your head the results are Going to happen for you NOW it will give you more belief and then you'll take more action.

Some people will put beliefs in your head.

For example: I KNOW I will have a beautiful home someday and a great car and I WILL BE debt free. There are people around me who are saying, Amanda no you won't, you're crazy just get a job like everyone else.

but to me it's inevitable that I WILL have those things.

5 Keys to Wealth & Happiness (Tony Robbins)

Tony Robbins: 5 Keys to Wealth and Happiness

1.Handle Frustration
2.Handle Rejection
3.Handle Financial Pressure
4.Handle comfort Zone
5.Always give more than you expect to receive



Key #1: You must learn how to master frustration

A negative attitude wipes out self-discipline. In order to succeed in life, it’s about getting massive frustration. The more frustration you get, the more successful you get to be. Use frustration to motivate you. The other side of frustration is success. So few people learn how to manage frustration. Learn to turn frustration into fascination.

"People who fail to achieve their goals usually get stopped by frustration. They allow frustration to keep them from taking the necessary actions that would support them in achieving their desire. You get through this roadblock by plowing through frustration, taking each setback as feedback you can learn from, and pushing ahead. I doubt you'll find many successful people who have not experienced this. All successful people learn that success is buried on the other side of frustration."

If something isn't working - change your strategy.

"Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach."

Sylvester Stalone was turned down by 1000 agents! But he just kept working, and changed his strategy.

"We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish."

"Put yourself in a state of mind
where you say to yourself, "Here is an opportunity for me to celebrate like never before, my own power, my own ability to get myself to do whatever is necessary."

"The path to success is to take massive, determined action."

Key #2: You must learn how to manage rejection.

The key to success is receiving massive amounts of rejection. It’s part of the numbers game. Developing rapport can decrease the number of rejections. Until you learn to thrive on rejection, you won’t experience the level of success you could. The law of averages is if you do it enough, you’re going to develop an average rate of success. How many no’s does it take to get a yes? Superstars handle frustration and rejection.



Key #3: You must learn how to handle financial pressure.

Learn to manage the money that you have. Money becomes a tool for you instead of you being the tool of money. It’s not working hard that makes the difference. You got to change what’s in your head. Focus on not what you can get, but on what you can give.

In the book “The Richest Man in Babylon” by George Clason:
(a) take 10% of your money and immediately give it away
a. your unconscious believes there is more than enough
(b) take 10% and use it to reduce your debts
(c) take 10% and use it to invest, or save it to invest
The remaining 70% is to live on.

"It is not what we get. But who we become, what we contribute... that gives meaning to our lives."

Key #4: You must learn how to handle or manage complacency.

This is a real killer - comfort zone gets involved. It sets in when you learn how to manage frustration, rejection, financial pressure. The only way you become happy is not what you get, it’s who you become.

Here’s the solution:
1. learn to judge yourself by your goals and not by your peers
2. pay careful attention to who you associate with

Key #5: Always give much more than you expect to receive.

This is the formula for wealth and happiness.

The secret to living is giving.

About Me

Hi, and welcome to my blog.

My name is Amanda Drover. I am a stay at home mom of 2 kids under the age of 4. I have a great boyfriend who is also an outstanding Father and best friend. My kids are the light of my life and they are the reason why I started my home business almost 2 and a half years ago. I have replaced the income that I used to make working full time at other jobs AND I get to be home with my kids, be my own boss, work when I want to work AND help other people do the same. Best job in the world :)

I like to look on the positive side of things, the glass is always half-full not half-empty. If you think the same way then send me an email or IM I'd love to hear from ya and have a great conversation.

My email is amandadrover@live.com

I'll be sharing lots of helpful information on here for others who have a home business and would love to hear feedback, questions, or suggestions.

Have a fantastic day!
