This just in from one of my mentors. I thought this was right on and I wanted to share this with you.
Mike Litman is one of my mentors and I know he has a proven track record, because he is very successful. So much so he teaches people how to be successful. He is a very motivational person.
I want you to read his blog post and I hope this will help you in your quest to be financially free.
So without further ado, here is his blog post. Enjoy!!!
This is what Mike wrote:
Can’t stand it,
I can’t stand seeing people get hurt the way I did for a 7 year period.
I spent 7 years running around, circle after circle, procrastinating, inconsistent, and more.
You name the bad success habit. I did it.
I couldn’t quit, and after years of lack of focus, I finally saw the path.
A #1 best-selling book, helping hundreds of thousands of people, and a successful business has been result of finally ‘getting it’.
You can get it too.
If you don’t make this mistake.
“Mike, what mistake?”
Amigo, let’s go and I’ll tell you about it.
I got so pissed off 8 years ago that one day I just decided to do the opposite of everything I was doing in trying to build my business.
Instead of trying to make $10,000 a month, I tried making my 1st $1,000.
Instead of trying to make $5,000 a month, I tried making $500 a month.
Instead of trying to make $1,000 a month, I focused on making that 1st $100.
I made my goals smaller and I learned a very VALUABLE lesson.
***Every level of income demands a different you.
Let me say it again.
***Every level of income demands a different you.
I wasn’t yet the person to make $5,000+ a month.
Each level of income demands different habits and actions.
The key is to start, grow, persevere, and become MORE.
***Every level of income demands a different you.
Who do you need to be to make the MONEY and LIFE you desire?
Remember, you don’t have to get it right, you just have to get it going.
Get going. Make your goals smaller and bring greater momentum into your life.
Celebrate your small victories.
You can DO IT. You can.
I believe in you. Now, believe in yourSELF.
Love Ya! You’re The Best!
Your Coach,
Mike
I love when he says "Every level of income demands a different you!!!"
Great stuff.

INFORMATION = POWER + MONEY
But if you get the wrong information from the self appointed expert can lead to disaster and failure for YOU!
Here's the definition of the self appointed expert - someone that have read a book or listened to an mp3 and now they're calling them self an expert in the field.
Then they proceed to post on forum after forum what they have learned when all they have done is read a book or some other media. All it takes is one sucker that starts believing in him. Now he's an expert, he's got an ego bigger than the whole world. Now that one sucker builds him up to someone else and now he begins to get a few people following him and building him up.
I'm going to give it a name you've probably heard on the net. This is VIRAL ADVERTISING at it's worse because the information is useless because this self appointed expert doesn't have a clue and what have you got.
DISASTER AND FAILURE!!!!
Bottom Line.
You've been had very, very bad my friend.
All you can do is pick yourself up and learn something from this experience. YOU learn to be a critical thinker and check things out for yourself.
I don't have to be an expert, but I know I am a critical thinker. I learned how to think not what to think. I am part of a master mind group will do the same thing for you too. If you would like to join my group. YOU can contact me at (409) 982-2185.
But I must say this to you, if you're not really serious about making a change in your life, then don't even bother. I'm just being totally honest with you, the reason I say that is. YOU have to be COMMITTED because if you're not you will quit and you will not like the results.
Now if you're committed then I say to you. What are you waiting for?
Call me now at (409) 982-2185
I'll leave you with this thought: "An excuse is giving yourself permission to remain the same."
So take this information I have given to you and experience the power and money that will come your way when you make the decision to call me now at (409) 982-2185.

The Business Model Drives Behavior in the Field
If your company doesn't drives the correct behavior in the field you will not be successful.
Let's just start with the compensation plan. First there's what you call 'Breakage' and what that means is money appears to go to distributors. But for whatever reasons reverts back to the company itself.
Here's an example:
We have Companies X,Y,Z.
Company X - Big company, publicly traded.
Company Y - not big as X, lot of years in business, but not publicly traded
Company Z - in business about 4 - 5 years, dollar volume not really big and not as many reps as X or Y.
Let's look at the different business models and the difference in behavior that these models drive in the field.
Companies X,Y, and Z sell an identical product.
Company X - $116 retail.
Company Y - $104 retail.
Company Z - $40 retail
What behavior is driven in the field with Company X or Y. Do you think distributors can sell product at that price? It would be hard, wouldn't you agree.
Why? Because it is too expensive. Result: Companies X and Y, has no retail activity going on because the product is too high.
So what behavior does it drive? Easy you guessed. Sign up to be a distributor.
Does Your Company's Business Model Stop Retailing?
Here's an example of a company's business model that stops retailing.
Company X and Y have sky high overhead. They hire order takers instead of ordering online, it's too complicated they say. Then company Y brags on the 300 or so people they got to answer telephones and take orders. How much are they paying out to these 300+ employees every month? Let's say $10 per hour plus social security, workman's comp, disability insurance, sick days, holidays, so it's really about $20 an hour.
Now if they are in a building, you add to their expenses - mortgage, electricity, phone, air conditioning and probably about 250 computers.
You have more problems when you have humans. So you need customers service reps. You need more employees to fix up the errors thats being made. What a business model!
That's why the overhead is so high. But they tell you the reason the product is $104 because it is the best.
Baloney!
Now do you understand why it's so hard for Company X or Y to sell that product. The business model is a recruit, recruit, recruit.
With company Z, they have the latest technology and doesn't have all the overhead. So they can sell the same product for half the price.
Company X or Y can't get customers so they do what, recruit distributors. You have to pay money to become a distribtor and buy it for $80, the wholesale price. Is that a fair shake for you? Heck no!
Recruit vs. Retail
When you sell a product to someone, some will love the product and become dedicated customers. Some will become reps, but if they just recruit there's no dedication. It's just not there. You might keep some recruits but many will move on and go elsewhere when they find something better. So retailing product gives a whole new dynamic to your business and MLMers don't have it.
The Lifeblood of any business is product movement to the end consumer.
Let's us take a look at Walmart's business model. Network marketers pay close attention here.
Sam Walton had a vision. He said "We will build the largest retailer in the world." He did achieve his goal because he found a way to move product to the end consumer at a cheaper price. How did he do it?
Let me demonstrate: People don't care when they buy their groceries or if there's acoustical tile on the ceiling. So his business model was to have shelves with case and cases and more case of soda pop.
Then in the evening, bring that stuff down and restock the shelves. They would stock the warehouses for all the manufacturing companies, saving those companies a whole lot of money. He built the warehouses all around the world. Then he talked to Scott tissues, Hershey's, Johnson & Johnson's, all these companies. He told them to ship your products to my warehouses, you don't have to build expensive warehouses, I'll store it. As we sell it, I'll pay you.
When they scan the product, the system will track it and Scott tissue knows Walmart sold 73 cases of paper towels today. The vendor receive a check.
Now isn't that a great business model. That's why everybody goes to Walmart or Sam's Club. Everybody wins and the result is product is being moved to the end consumer everyday.
Whoever figures out how to move product to the end consumer at the best price, wins. Sam Walton proved that point. How?
He cut overhead for those companies, his product suppliers.
You're probably thinking how does this apply in network marketing. Look at every company and every compensation plan. Let us take a look at this example:
A company pays 50% commission on a $80 product or 50% commission on the same product for $40. The $40 product makes it much easier to sell twice as much or 3 times as much. Cut the overhead and have a better chance to sell the product. After all you are competing with other network marketing products. You're competing against Sam's club and Walmart too.
So your business model has to let you make a good offer to the consumer, or you will never succeed.
These are only a few of the business models, if you want to learn more about business models driving the right behavior in the field.

WHY ARE SOME PEOPLE MORE SUCCESSFUL THEN OTHERS?
One quality is the importance of self discipline.
"Success is tons of DISCIPLINE"
The most important success principle of all was stated by Thomas Huxley many years ago. He said "Do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not."
He went on to say "There are 999 other success principles that I have found in my reading and experiences, but without Self Discipline, none of them work."
Self Discipline is the key. It will open doors for you and make everything else possible. The average person can go as far and as fast as his talents and intelligence can take him.
It doesn't matter if you have the background or the education, and even if you have the opportunity. Without self discipline you will seldom rise above mediocrity.
If you want to be successful I encourage you come and join me with a master mind group that will help you with no agenda. The only agenda is to help you to be successful.
