"THE SECRET"
Introduction to Law of Attraction
The law of attraction is not hocus pocus. It's a law, just like the law of gravity. This movie will help you get a basic understanding of it. Here's a glimpse of what The Secret is about.
Spend at least 15-20 minutes every day doing something to put good, postive thoughts into your mind and spirit.
I can't stress enough, the power of thinking the correct way.
Employees are problem dwellers.
Business owners are problem solvers.
As a business owner, it's imperative to think like one. For example, if you had just opened a coffee shop, and you discovered that you didn't know how to get your new cappachino machine to work, the cash register is malfunctioning, your best employee just walked out on you and the ad you placed last week has not produced the result you wanted, would you quit? No. You would focus on solutions and move forward. Well, you didn't buy a coffee shop for $600K, you bought a Global Resorts Network business for $3K. But, you want to have the same success mindset.
Success in a business of any kind is a process. While it does seem to happen almost overnight for a few, it is a steady, consistent process for most. It is important that you understand this and set realistic, yet "stretching" goals for yourself. It requires your committment to be the best you that you can be, to be committed and open to learning new things, both skill sets and technology. Also being committed to taking action and implementing even if you are afraid to, and a willingness to both be coachable and coach others. The very nature of this business people helping people. That's the culture we want to have here within our team. Everyone has value and worth and good ideas.
You Are Good Enough
Perhaps you've been told all your life you don't measure up, you're limited, you're stupid, you can't do this and can't do that. Well, I am here to tell you that's hogwash. You're fantastic, you're special, you're worthy, you're good enough and you CAN do and HAVE anything in life you set your mind to.
This is what this page is all about. It's to help you understand that your thinking is critical and give you some insight, resources and ideas to begin your new life.
Once your thinking is straight, your actions will follow and results thereafter that.
Make a Dream Board
Remember when you were a kid and you cut out pictures from magazines of things you wanted to have and places you wanted to go and glued them to paper? Well, we want you to be a kid again. Get a big cork board or poster board and cut out pictures from books, magazines, take pictures, whatever, of things you want to have, places you want to go and of the people you want to touch. Display it where you can see it every day. Pay no attention to what others may think. This is not about them. It's about you and how bad you want success.
Touch Your Dreams
Touch Your Dreams
Test drive the car you want.
Preview the home you want. Get out the blueprints often.
Go have dessert and coffee at the fine dining restaurant you want to eat at often.
Get a book on the place you want to travel. Start visualizing, talk about it, dream about it and plan for it.
It's yours. Your business will take you there if you have the right mindset.
Start a Grateful Log
Practice being grateful for what you have, grateful for the path you're on and the tools you have to lead you on your road to success. Celebrate each day as you go on your journey to reach your dreams.
Start a grateful log. Everyday, write in your log about things you are grateful for that day. It doesn't matter how small it seems. In my grateful log, I've had entries such as a warm, cozy bed and perfect cups of tea when it's cold and stormy outside. I'm grateful for my children, my folks, my mentors. I'm grateful when there's no bad news in the mail box. I'm grateful that my car starts and when I was able to make someone smile. Start focusing on what you are grateful for and more of it will come into your life. See if you don't notice more of the same things don't begin to come to you.
Write Down Your Goals
Set aside some time, undisturbed, to really think about what you want your business to provide. A home business has the potential to provide so many things in your life, and although it generally starts out being about the money, as your business grows, and money no longer is an issue, this business will provide more than you could ever imagine. You should expect to spend a minimum of an hour, for us it was several hours, on this process.
Your future is very important and you will want to treat this planning document very serious as it will help you direct your activity. The more time you spend on it…the more serious you are about your success.
As an example about writing down the details of what you want might be this. If we ask…"What is your favorite thing to eat for dinner?" "Chicken" is the wrong answer. Here's the details: ”I like the chicken at the O’Charley’s. They have a great chicken salad, I take the cucumbers off, get extra ranch dressing on the side, and it’s just perfect for me. It's a clearer answer.
When you can see in writing where you are going and why, you'll get there much quicker. When you plan a trip, don't you plan ahead with all the directions, the stops, the budget, etc? Plan your future.
To get you started thinking, here are some questions that you can begin to answer:
What is your strongest reason "WHY" for doing this business?
If it is financial security and freedom, define what that means to you.
If money were no object, what would a perfect day look like to you? Where would you live? Who would you spend time with? Describe your home, your car, your lifestyle. What organizations would you support? Would you travel? Where would you go, how long would you be gone, what would you do when you got there?
Get creative and let your imagination run wild. Again, DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!

There are several industry trainers that can not only help you with your mindset but also your skillset. Having a home business takes new skillsets. While many of these train heavily on how to "prospect" by calling leads, you can learn from them in so many areas. So, if you have no intention on ordering leads and calling them, these industry trainers can still help you to learn to talk to people.
When your phone rings and prospects have questions, you still need to be able to have a conversation with them. You'll do good to learn the skillsets to handle objections, maintain your posture (attitude) and how to stay confident.
So gleem what you can from these industry leaders. Look for the gold nuggets that you can use to build your skillsets. We suggest that you invest in your continuing education just as doctors, laywers, real estate agents, teachers, financial planners, (gosh - even foster parents have to have so many hours of contining education), to be able to keep their licenses to perform their chosen career path.

Positive Thinking Talk
Learn how to turn the Power of Positive Thinking from wishful thinking to reality.
Have you tried positive thinking, self talk, positive affirmations, read books, watched "the secret" or taken courses on how to materialize your goals and are still waiting for results? If so, you may be positively surprised by what you're about to learn.
Research by leading universities in the field of cognitive and behavioral science proves the existence of so called “automatic thoughts”, i.e. thoughts that come to mind involuntarily and effortlessly as an automatic response to certain stimuli. These are the thoughts that ultimately determine whether you'll fail or succeed.

Practical Steps to Increase Your Success Consciousness
Especially in the western world millions of people of average intelligence and education started with nothing and were able to create successful lives. In terms of success, background and education are not deciding factors. Your ability to continuously focus your mind on positive thoughts, however, is the key factor for success. By positive thoughts we mean a focus on what you’d like to achieve rather than what you can’t see or don’t have in your life.
There are several powerful techniques that you can use immediately as you embark on your journey of having positive thinking patterns guide you to whatever it is you want to achieve. The effectiveness of these techniques depends on continuous and repetitive exposure to positive messages that trigger positive thoughts.
Create a positive environment
First of all, it is important that you create a positive work and home environment. What are the areas where you spend most of your time during the day? Is it an office, a kitchen, a study, a factory etc.? Is the environment where you spend a lot of your time a motivating place filled with positive messages? Does it inspire you to be creative and have positive thoughts?
For example, if you spend most of your day in an office in front of a computer, install inspiring screensavers or desktop backgrounds. Decorate your walls with inspiring pictures. Have pictures of significant and successful moments on your desk. All these "things” around you affect your thoughts. Make sure that the places you spend most of your time trigger positive thoughts. Once you’ve established a positive environment, you’ll see these your positive messages on a continuous and repetitive basis.
Expose Yourself to Positive and Inspiring Information
A lot has been written about the effects of our thinking on our life. By now many people know that in some way or another, their thinking affects their life. We hear things like: “Think positive. As you think, so shall you be. You can choose to see the glass half empty or half full”. Does this sound familiar? And yet, how many people, maybe including yourself, have you encountered who you would truly classify as “positive thinkers”? Probably not too many, right? As soon as we get up in the morning we usually get busy doing things and let our thoughts flow freely as the day unfolds. The amount of information our brain processes in a day is unbelievable. Therefore, it is not easy to constantly monitor our thoughts and make sure they are always positive. We can make a true difference, however, when we consciously chose to expose ourselves to positive, inspiring and uplifting information. Minimize the time you spend processing negative information. Ask yourself what kind of books are you reading, or what kind of programs are you watching on TV. Are they inspiring, encouraging and positive, or do they expose you to information that decreases your energy level?
Affirmations
Affirmations are a wonderful and effective tool to focus your mind on positive thoughts. The best way to use affirmations is to write down what you want to achieve. The important thing is that you write it in the first person, present tense as if it had already taken place. For example: “I am earning $ 50,000. I live in a red two story brick house with an ocean view from my bedroom window.” Be as specific as you can in your description. Read your affirmation(s) several times a day.
Visualization
This technique is often used by athletes. It’s all about seeing yourself succeeding. Visualization is most effective if you define a few moments each day where you can be at a quiet place without distractions. As you close your eyes, you visualize what it’s like to see your goal fulfilled. As you do this ask yourself “What does it look like, how do I feel about it, what does it smell like etc.?” It is like a movie sequence that you keep playing and refining in your mind until it becomes and feels real. Repeat this exercise several times each day.
Affirmations combined with Visualization
The combination of both affirmation and visualization is an extremely strong tool. If you can both say your affirmations to yourself and visualize the achievement of your affirmation at the same time you actually multiply the effectiveness of both tools.
Success Conversations
Each day many of us spend a fair amount of time in transit from place A to B and back. Think about all the time you either spend in your car or public transportation on your way to work and back, the time you invest taking your children to school and back etc. You may want to use this time constructively to increase your success consciousness by having “success conversations” with yourself. You can do this by imagining a situation where you’ve already achieved your goal and now tell others about it. Say your goal was to lose 20 pounds and be in great physical shape. Your conversation then could be “You know Mary, I just decided to lose 20 pounds and work out on a regular basis and it really didn’t take me too long to reach that goal. I now just feel like a new person and get so many compliments on my achievement.” Be creative in your success conversations. If your goal is to start your own business, imagine yourself talking to your employees about the stellar results your company just achieved, or see yourself giving an interview to a business news reporter about the success of your company. “Success conversations” is a very powerful in focusing your mind on success. Again, the key is continuity and repetition.
Prayers
Whatever your faith of spiritual orientation may be, prayers are excellent and proven means to materialize your goals. By praying we are asking our creator for help in achieving our objectives. Praying is most effective because it is often connected with a strong faith or belief system. The actual belief in that “As you ask, you shall receive” will drive our thinking patterns and actions to the realization of our goals. Since many people pray each day before they go to bed, it is easy to establish a daily routine.
Talk to your Subconscious Mind
Whichever of the above tool, or combination of tools, you chose to apply, from a timing perspective we strongly suggest that you also apply it / them right after you wake up and before you go to sleep. Many studies have proven that our subconscious mind is very receptive when we start relaxing before we fall asleep and right after we wake up in the morning. An interesting fact about our subconscious mind is that it unconditionally “believes” whatever we tell it. It is like a little machine in the background that just executes commands without questioning them. Therefore, if we succeed in reaching our subconscious mind with continuous, positive and constructive commands, it will automatically start executing and focus on the materialization of our goals.
Take Action
Last but not least it is incredibly important that we start taking action toward our goals. Often times we simply think that our goals are so out of reach that we don’t even know where and how to start which then can lead to not taking any action at all. The good news is that it doesn’t really matter how big our goals are. The simple fact that we take action, no matter how small, sends a very strong signal that we are actually in the process of realizing our goal. In other words, we are already moving in the direction of that goal. Remember “Every journey starts with one single step” - Confucius. Let’ assume that you’d like to be independent and start your own business. This may appear to be a rather daunting task. However, even if you just start researching about the market, or take a business class at your community college, or think about a name for your business, there are always small but achievable steps where you can take action toward your goal. Remember, the “size” of your action does not matter. What matters most is that you do take action.
