In a business class a certain person told us the story of how he became a very successful real estate agent.
He was very young, and on his first day on the job his boss had asked him, "Do you want to sell houses?" Of course, he immediately answered that he did. The boss took him to a neighborhood and told him, "This is where I am going to leave you. I will pick you up in four hours. Go and knock door to door and ask the people if they want to sell their homes."
He left him a paper with a grid with one hundred boxes and told him that every time someone said no, he should make an X in one of the boxes. "Go and look for your first hundred NOs."
The young man could not believe it, but there was no way out of the situation.
As it turned out many did say NO, but to his surprise, many said YES - that they had just been thinking about it and they wanted to get more information. In that moment the young man realized that with every person who said NO, he got closer to the possibility of a YES.
We all have a big fear of NO, a great fear of rejection. But if we don't risk receiving a NO, we will never receive the YES.
The capacity to overcome fear is what differentiates the people that get a lot out of life from those that hardly get anything at all; the people that are successful and excel from those that stay stuck.

Don't Fear Your Home Business Competition
Article written by Jim Kelly,webmaster
You have taken a great deal of time and put forth effort seeking out a home business opportunity that matches your individual desires, skills and goals. You have registered with a legitimate and supportive program and you have taken the time to create a detailed written business plan for yourself. You have researched promotional methods and strategies and perhaps you have even begun to create your own web site. You feel primed to move forward with the initial steps you have so carefully structured.
One potentially serious pitfall needs to be avoided at all costs. Some new home business entrepreneurs develop a mindset that they “want it all” and perceive all others promoting the same or similar products, services, and opportunities as the “enemy”, and they begin to develop a fiercely protective attitude towards their new business. Fear of your competition will not steer you toward your goal of independence; rather it will propel you towards isolation.
I would invite you to take a daring step outside of yourself and reach out directly to those you might perceive as “the competition”. In doing so you are highly likely to encounter numerous friendly, helpful entrepreneurs just like yourself, some of whom have made quite a success of themselves with their home business.
There are many sources for seeking out and interacting with similar minded entrepreneurs. The program you have enrolled in no doubt has numerous forums and if not, do a web search for home business forums and make a habit of visiting them and begin to make yourself known. Post your questions, concerns, and ideas in the forums. You will absolutely receive responses from other enthusiastic home business owners. Get to know them individually and exchange email addresses. Strike up friendships and share your goals, methods, and hopes. If you have a web site, swap links.
There is no reason to protect yourself from or avoid others in your field. Those who develop their business with a stance of protectionism and isolationism are likely to remain in isolation and indeed may fail as a direct result. A network of friends and mentors within your field is a tool that you will come to find invaluable as your network will aid you in sharpening your goals, direction, and strategies. The Internet is a vast place and there is ample business for all who are dedicated and apply a well-laid out strategy. Seek out and befriend those in your field. Don’t make the mistake of shunning them. You won’t be sorry!

Unseen Secret to Success
Joe Vitale, from the Secret movie says,
"This is a secret of success: when you are
ready for breakthrough results in any area,
you need to hire someone who can help you
-- a coach."
Why?
According to Joe,
left to our own devices,
we will only
grow in baby steps.
You and I simply rely
on what's worked before.
We'll think and do
what we've done before.
And...
for the most part,
we'll get similar results as before.
Are you ready for something different?
When you join my team of Independent Business Owners,

Letting Go
Giving up is merely quitting
Letting go is sweet release
Giving up is cries of anguish
Letting go is perfect peace
Giving up is hard and heavy
Letting go is loose and light
Giving up is simply failure
Letting go, success in sight
Giving up is very human
Letting go is most divine
Giving up is death at sundown
Letting go, the rising sun
Giving up is "There, it's over"
Letting go, "I've just begun!"
Letting go is sweet release
Giving up is cries of anguish
Letting go is perfect peace
Giving up is hard and heavy
Letting go is loose and light
Giving up is simply failure
Letting go, success in sight
Giving up is very human
Letting go is most divine
Giving up is death at sundown
Letting go, the rising sun
Giving up is "There, it's over"
Letting go, "I've just begun!"

What's Stopping You?
Truth is, the only thing stopping you is your own doubt.
Admit it. You're asking yourself things like...
• Will this really work?
• Will this really work for me?
• Should I trust this lady about what she's telling me?
All good questions, of course.
But it's that very voice of doubt that is keeping you from moving forward.
I know it's tough to swallow, but doubt is the reason most people don't take action, and consequently why most people stay stuck.
Well, let me ease your concerns...
Here's the deal:
Your Satisfaction is Totally Guaranteed and You Can Cancel Your Membership at Any Time.
Obviously, that guarantee is beyond fair.
So here's the real question:
Are you ready to take action, or are you still letting doubt stop you?
Doubt is often self-sabotage at work.
Are you going to control it, or let it control you?
The choice is yours.
