Energy Vampires. You know the type…you are trapped in a situation with them and you find all your energy draining slowly out of you? Energy Vampires, Negative Nellies — call them whatever you like.  We all have them.  Whether you like it or not you have them too.  Maybe your boss is one.  A co-worker.  Perhaps your sister, your mother, your friend, you neighbor…whoever it is to you, they are there.  You know the type, the complainers, the ones that always see the negative in EVERYTHING in life.  They are, coincidentally, usually the dream-stealers too (but that’s the subject of another article   .  Oh yeah, here’s the most important quality they all share THEY’RE BROKE.    

Well, if you are an Entrepreneur, you require effective leadership strategiesto assist you in your success and quest for wealth….and, sincy you have no intention of being BROKE, keep reading.  You, my friend, are an out-of-the box thinker.  You are light years away in mindset from your Negative Nellie.    However you still have to exist in a world of Negative Nellies.

Since you are on an Entrepreneurial journey, chances are that you are working on your mindset and personal development daily (hint, hint).  If so, you have some tools in your toolbox already!…Awesome!  However, no matter how many tools are in there, when you are in the presence of Negative Nellie for extended periods of time, it can compromise your positive outlook and your energy – even your prosperity if you’re not careful!! 

Here are some strategies to assist you in preventing yourself from being sucked into that negative vortex… 

1.  Either eliminate these people from your life, or if you can’t do that, then shorten the amount of time you spend with them as much as possible.   A statement of the obvious, but it had to be said.

2. Get an iPod.  Seriously, not only can you load it up with personal development audiobooks, but whenever you require a boost back into positive energy land, excuse yourself and put your headphones on for 5, 10 or 15 minutes and re-brainwash yourself.  It works.

3. Enlist a support buddy for help.  Is there another family member or friend who’s with you all the time at these events in which you’re stuck with Negative Nellie?  Someone who’s of a like mind?  Stick with that person.  Create counter strategies (see #4) and work with your buddy to counteract the negative comments.  If your buddy is not with you, call or text them regularly with positive messages and affirmations. 

4.  Make a game of it.  (Can be done with a buddy or solo).  Every time you hear Negative Nellie make a complaint or negative comment, make a positive one.  It doesn’t even have to be about the same subject.   

What this does is two-fold.  Number 1 it changes the tone of the conversation from negative to positive and Number 2 it forces you to find something joyful and positive to focus on.  Remember what you focus on you draw to you.  So, if you focus on Negative Nellie’s negativity, guess what you get more of?   However, if you focus and comment on something positive, you will draw more of that to you.  Bonus:  If there are any others present, you are modeling awesome positive behavior.  That’s powerful.

5.  For couples:  If you are surrounded by a Negative Nellie or two, you can take #4 to the next level.  Try this.  Every time Negative Nellie lodges a complaint or negative comment, show some sign of physical affection toward each other.   This may sound crazy but it’s actually a blast, and a great way to counteract all that negativity.  It actually makes it FUN.  

Can you imagine looking forward to Negative Nellie drone on and on about why life sucks and you actually benefiting from it?  Talk about making lemonade from lemons??!!!…Seriously, this is my favorite trick for passing the time when trapped with Negative Nellies.  Try it!

I hope that assists you in your next family vacation, office party or wherever you are trapped with Negative Nellie the Energy Vampire again!   If you find this helpful or fun, make sure to share it on Facebook and Retweet!

…Well, nothing…on the surface.  However, I was home sick the other day…no strength for anything other than laying around in bed and watching movies.  I flipped on “Rocky”.  It’s been a long time since I watched it.  But, no matter how dated certain things are about that film, the message is still the same: Stop at nothing until you achieve your goal.  Become the winner you already know you are inside and no matter what happens, you must get there.

In watching this I had forgotten a key moment that changed his journey (hey, it’s been a long time since I watched it).  When he is first offered the opportunity to fight for the championship, he turns it down.  He says no.  No to a shot at the title.!! Isn’t that what people do every day when they pass by an opportunity at achieving wealth when they say no to your network marketing business?  But here’s the difference, Rocky quickly realized that he had his shot.  And one this big might never come again.  And, like those of us to made a commitment to change our lives with Network Markeitng, he took it. 

That’s us in that boxing ring.  We’re Rocky.  We’re the ones who saw a shot at the title and took it.  We’re the ones who have the chance to achieve everything we desire because we recognized an opportunity and took it!  We ARE Rocky.

This was made even clearer as I watched Rocky get his face bashed in over and over and over again.  At one point during the final world championship fight, after many, many brutal rounds of fighting, he falls.  His own manager is telling him to stay down.  But Rocky, the true winner that he is, scrapes up every ounce of strength he can to pull himself up on the ropes and go back for more.  Inspiring.

Well, inspiring to me…and to anyone else like us who knows they are a winner, a leader inside.  But interesting how the person outside the ring who cares about Rocky very much, told him to quit.  Sure, it was well-meaning, but does that seem at all familiar to you?

Doesn’t this mirror the experience we sometimes have as Network Marketers.  Don’t people outside of our “ring” see us struggling and with all the best intentions, encourage us to quit.  And guess what, 95% of you will  95% of you reading this article right now, will quit when it gets difficult.  95% of you will miss out on the wealth and freedom that Network Marketing has to offer because you quit when it got tough.  And that’s a shame.

Here’s what you need to understand in order to truly achieve success in our business (or ANY business).  It can get tough sometimes.  Challenges happen.  People sign up and quit.  People swear they’ll show up to a meeting and don’t come.  People swear they’ll watch a presentation and never do it.  Stuff happens.  Who cares….

…Because you have a choice.  You can quit when it gets hard and say “this doesn’t work”. …or you can be Rocky.  Pick your sweat-soaked, battered body up off the ring floor, grab onto those ropes and pull yourself up and get back in the G-A-M-E. 

And soon it will be you running up to the top of the Philadelphia steps and dancing around with that great music playing.

Yes, I shamelessly exploited an adorable animal to get you to watch this video.  I’ll admit it.

However, she is completely relevant to the message so I don’t feel the least bit guilty. One of my favorite mentors and someone who inspires me on a daily basis, Susan Sly, actually inspired it.  So, it’s Susan’s fault 

But seriously, there may be a cute puppy in the video, but the message is important.  I love visuals.  And Susan put this one in my head along with a powerful message that has greatly assisted me in increasing my value and getting my head in the right space to  create a successful business. Enjoy!

I had the pleasure of hearing two phenomenal multi-millionaire speakers yesterday.  One was a guest on my weekly webinar, Christina Dreiling, and one was a guest on Cedrick Harris’ weekly call, Jerry Clark.  I can’t tell you how much value and inspiration I got from that.  Simply priceless.

Not only hearing them speak, but back to back that way, I made an observation that gave me an AH-HA moment and wanted to share it.

Both of these guys are multi-millioniare success stories in Network Marketing.  Both of them shared one key trait that struck me.
When they told their stories, they both shared about how they each had a crystal clear vision of what they wanted WAY before they actually achieved it.

But the thing that stayed with me was how SPECIFIC it was.  It wasn’t just “I want to be successful” “I want to be financially free” “I want to be wealthy”…It was specific down to the ittty-bitty details of exactly what those statements looked like.   It was so specific, it was as if they saw this vision in a catalog and merely ordered the product they saw in the picture, ya know?

That was one of my take-aways last night.

So, my question to you is:

HOW CLEAR IS YOUR VISION OF WHAT YOU WANT?

If your answer is vague, make today the day you start to create the details of YOUR PICTURE OF SUCCESS.  Paint it in your mind so clearly that when you describe it to someone, you’ll feel like it’s right there in front of you…and perhaps, if you take CONSISTENT DAILY ACTION in your enterprise, YOU WILL HAVE IT!

FYI, the amazing Jerry Clark will be our guest speak on our weekly webinar coming up VERY SOON!  If you are not subscribed to my Newsletter, you will miss out on these weekly invitations for COMPLETELY FREE AND AWESOME TRAINING!  Subscribe here if you are not already connected with me.

If you desire success in Network Marketing, then you’d better watch your mouth! …If you find yourself saying “I can’t afford it” and/or “I don’t have the money”, you are literally KILLING your business.

WORDS ARE POWERFUL.  And by saying these kinds of things, you are actually drawing them to you.  You are literally sucking yourself into a black hole of your own making.  Mind-blowing really…especially if you’re new to this.

Watch this video ind out WHY these words are killing your chances for profit in your Network Marketing business and what to do to turn that around.

I will be an MLM Success Story!  Actually, I already am.  But does that mean I have to be like Brian Fanale? Cedrick Harris?  Tracey Walker? …Nope.

Now, most times I look at these UBER-Successful MLMers and I get inspired by them.  But this morning I woke up on the wrong side of the bed, my business, and everything.  Instead, I started comparing myself to them.  Ugh.  Has that ever happened to you? 

Well, in the past, before I started my journey into Network Marketing and Personal Development, I might have just sunken into the abyss and stayed there and swirled around in that mood til whenever.

But now, I know EXACTLY what steps to take to get my head back in the GAME and get my INSPIRATION leading me to where I desire to go, instead of indulging in negativity.  There is no way to PRODUCE when you swirl in negativity. 

Let me say that again:  THERE IS NO WAY TO PRODUCE WHEN YOU SWIRL IN NEGATIVITY!

And PRODUCING is what PAYS us.  This is something that some marketers forget sometimes.  And if you can’t PRODUCE when you’re in a negative headspace, WHY ON EARTH would you allow yourself to stay there? 

So, here’s exactly what I did YESTERDAY to get out of a funk and back into PRODUCTION!

If you’ve read anything on my blog, you know how important I feel that  M I N D S E T  is when it comes to success.  Actually, I’d even venture so far as to say it’s the MOST important thing when it comes to success.  Success in ANYTHING. 

I always knew that, but last weekend I PROVED IT to myself ….and to everyone I  had the privilege of  being in the room with.  AND, I got my proof on tape!

I had the most profound experience of the mountains I could move with my mind.   Watch this…

If a multi-Millionaire took you under his wing and told you EXACTLY how to become a successful millionaire too, would you listen?

I hope you said, “YES, of course I would Amy!”

However, it’s been my experience that many Network Marketers who are struggling to achieve success still ask their also-struggling, broke friends and family for advice and guidance. Why would you seek the advice of someone who is less successful than you?  Not only less successful, but someone who’s circle of influence also includes even more people who are living paycheck-to-paycheck and struggling to achieve success.

Doesn’t it just make sense to take your cue from someone who has what you want?  Does an olympic hopeful take training advice from his kindergarten teacher?  NO!  They hire an Olympic Training Coach to advise and train them.

In this short video, Jeffery Combs, Millionaire success coach, tells it likes it is and gives you a simple tip to get you on the road to success. Why not listen?
