Real World Project Management – Communications

August 31, 2012 By

Real World Project Management – Communications

Have you ever been on the side of the conversation where all you heard was a voice like Charlie Brown’s teacher? “Wa-wa-waa-wwaa.” (That’d be funny if you watched more Charlie Brown.)

Or how about listening to your date? Yada, yada, blah, blah, Cubs game, blah, blah, beer, blah, blah, pizza.

Or what about when your favorite project team member enters your office. He says, “Hi. Got a real problem I could use some help with. I’m having a tough time understanding the project requirements on this deliverable.” And you hear, “Blah, blah, blah, problem, blah, blah, tough, blah.”

It’s not that you don’t mean to understand your date or your project team member–it’s just that you’re not listening. You’ve got a bazillion things racing through your head, you’re focused on seven different projects, and the baseball steroid hearings were so frightening that you can’t decide how your fantasy baseball league will shape up. (That’s shape up, not shoot up.)

Communication, as you can tell from the above, is more than just talking. Communication is also listening. When it comes to project management, communication takes up 90% of a project manager’s time. That’s right–90% of your time.

I communicated something to you and you did what I asked. If only projects were that easy! Sometimes you, the project manager, have to do a lot of begging and pleading, like I did above, just to get your project team members to do what they need to do. You know what needs to be done and you need to transfer that knowledge to your project team members. And then they go do it.

Or at least that’s how it’s supposed to work.

Real communication is about transferring knowledge. You know something and you tell someone else, and then they know it. But it doesn’t always work that way, does it? Communication is tough. There are two big categories of communications: written and oral.

The Written Word

Written stuff, like this article, can seem to be direct. I write. My editor edits. You read. But what if I’m not clear in my writing? What if you don’t get my jokes? Or my grammar and punctuation is so poor that you miss the point? Communication fails.

This is true in your life, too. Imagine that you sent an email to Susan, a team member. Here’s one draft of your email:

Susan,

I need a project team member who knows what Oracle is all about. You are smart, talented, on time, and savvy. Team members who are not like you admit to knowing nothing about Oracle. Our project is horrible when you’re away. This project is going great.

Best,

Your favorite Project Manager

Wow! Susan sounds fantastic. But is that what you really wanted to say to Susan? What if your punctuation was so bad that Susan got the wrong message? Here’s what you meant to say:

Susan,

I need a project team member who knows what Oracle is. All about you are smart, talented, on time, and savvy team members who are not like you. Admit to knowing nothing about Oracle! Our project is horrible. When you’re away, this project is going great.

Best,

Your favorite Project Manager

Yikes!

Alright, so this is an extreme example, but I’d bet dollars to donuts you’ve added some sarcasm, a joke, or a comment that came off the wrong way in an email message and mushroomed into a huge problem. The point is that written communication has its challenges within a project. Email is great. I love it and use it every day, but when the message is muddy in any written message, it can have large ramifications.

Say It Like You Mean It

So if written communication has its challenges, verbal communications must be great, right? We know better. Think back to your teenage days, when your folks would say that it’s not what you say, but how you say it. Well, that’s what my dad would tell me. And, as usual, he was right.

Dad was telling me, teaching me, about paralingual communications. Paralingual describes the pitch, tone, and inflections in the speaker’s voice that affect the message. Can you think of all the different ways a project team member can say, “Sure. I’ll get right on it.” I bet you’ve heard them all.

And then there’s the nonverbal communication–all that body language. (For Olivia Newton-John fans: Let me hear your body talk.) Posture, facial expression, shoulders, tugging on the ears, crossed arms, hand signals accentuate or reply to the message you’re hearing.

Ready for another statistic? Good. About 55% of all communication is nonverbal. If this is true, and I believe it to be true, you can see why phone calls, broadcast videos, and teleconferences aren’t as effective as face-to-face meetings.

You’ve been in meetings and witnessed team members’ expressions when you’ve shared good or bad news. And then you’ve reacted to the expressions on their faces, right? You’ve modified your message for clarity, you’ve asked them if they’ve got a freakin’ problem, you’ve continued with your spiel because they’re nodding their heads in agreement with you.

Just to be clear, and I want to be clear, a verbal message is affected by three major things:

· The message itself

· Paralingual attributes of the message

· Nonverbal communication

To be a great communicator takes experience. To be an effective communicator, you must ask questions. Do you understand me? Questions help the project team, the audience, your date, ask for clarification, deeper understanding, and an exact transfer of knowledge.

One approach, sometimes called “parroting,” requires the speaker to ask the project team to repeat the message in their own words. For example:

YOU: We’ve got to get this application developed by the end of the week or you’re all fired. Now, Jim, tell me what this means.

JIM: You’re an idiot?

YOU: No, you’re fired. Sally?

SALLY: We’ve got to get this software developed by Friday or we’ll be joining Jim at Wal-Mart.

YOU: That’s it. Get out. Get it done.

Parroting can be demeaning, especially for Jim, but it’s effective. You can be a bit more subtle than what I’ve presented here, by asking the audience if they’re clear on the message, and then asking questions based on what you’ve presented.

But What About Planning?

Thanks for asking. Of course you have to plan to communicate. Communication planning comes down to this key question: Who needs what information, when do they need it, and in what modality?

Who needs what? This tackles two major issues in any project. “Who” describes the stakeholders with whom you and your project team need to communicate. “What” describes the information that they’ll need.

Not all of your stakeholders will need the same information. Sure, that sounds obvious, but have you ever met one of those moron project managers (yes, the guy a few cubes from you) who sends out all project information to everyone who’s even heard of his project? This guy thinks he’s covering all of his bases because everyone has all of the information. The problem with this approach is the same problem with giving your cat the whole bag of cat food at once: Only give what’s needed or things will get messy.

One tool that can help the project manager and the project team to determine who needs to participate in communications is a simple communication matrix. A communication matrix is a table of all the project stakeholders in both the row and column headings. A check in the intersection of the two stakeholders represent that these two stakeholders will need to communicate.

The hard part, the planning part, is determining what information is needed between the two stakeholders. Usually the major communications needs will be obvious; functional managers need to know information related to their employees on your project, such as schedules and time accountability. The project sponsor and key stakeholders need information on the project status, finances, and any variances in cost and time. You’ll need to work with your project team and the stakeholders to determine the more involved communication demands.

You’ll also have to tackle the “when” problem. Depending on the stakeholders, information needs vary between daily, weekly, monthly, and “based on conditions in the project.” For example, your project sponsor may ask for weekly status reports, but the project champion may ask for status reports just once a month.

The secret is to schedule and, if possible, automate the communication demands as much as possible. Yes, automate. If your project-management information system is worth much, you can create macros, templates, even auto-generate reports on a regular schedule. Think of the time you’ll save (and can invest in your fantasy baseball league) by automating communications. Many project managers I meet don’t automate, don’t schedule, and don’t use a communication matrix. And then these project managers forget who needs what and when they need it. And then everyone whines. Please.

Now for the modality. Some communications can be accomplished in a quick email. Others require an extensive spreadsheet, report, and executive summaries. Some communication is expected in quick, ad hoc meetings, while other needs may mean business suits and, gosh, PowerPoint slideshows. The point is simple: Give stakeholders the information they need in the modality they’ll be expecting.

Communication Is Also Listening

Time to shut up. You’ve planned for communications and now you’re following your plan. But you have to listen to what’s being said. I don’t know about you, but I have two ears and one mouth. I’ve heard that this means I should listen twice as much as I talk. I have to listen to understand and receive the messages being sent to me.

As a project manager, you have scores of communication channels. And within your project there are potentially hundreds of communication channels. The larger the project, the greater opportunity for communications to break down. Here’s a nifty formula to show you just how many opportunities there are for communication to fail: (N*(N-1))/2. That’s N times N-1 divided by 2. N represents all the key stakeholders.

Wanna try it? Let’s say we have a project with 10 stakeholders, including you, the project manager. That’d be 10 times 9, a big 90. Divide that by 2 and you’ve got 45 communication channels. Now ask yourself, “What’s for lunch?” Sorry. Ask yourself, “How many stakeholders are on my project?” A bunch, I bet.

Go ahead and try this formula on one of your projects. I’ll wait.

See how the possibilities for communication failure just came into focus? Scary.

So, to be effective, we’ve got to listen to what’s coming at us, what’s being discussed among our project team, and what they’re telling our stakeholders. You, the project manager, must be at the center of communications; you have to be the communications hub.

Now do you believe that communication takes up 90% of a project manager’s time?

Cosmetic Surgery in Orange County

August 31, 2012 By

Cosmetic Surgery in Orange County

The best of cosmetic surgery can be found in Orange County. With the latest developments of cosmetic surgery, it is now fairly easy to become beautiful. Women who do not feel very much confidence about their bodies just need to save a few dollars and get themselves a trusted cosmetic surgeon. In a matter of just a few hours, you’ll be able to remove that unwanted fat, increase your breast size or even make a few changes on your face.

It’s really amazing how these cosmetic surgeons work. Gone are the days when you don’t have any real solution to ugly scars but to worry. Now, several methods have been developed to make cosmetic surgery as efficient and safe as possible. Depending on what needs to be done, the price of cosmetic surgery in Orange County can be as low as several hundreds of dollars to a few thousand dollars.

Because of the popularity of cosmetic surgery, more and more people are considering getting one or more. Cosmetic surgery has drastically boomed in the past few years. In fact, you can find hundreds of cosmetic surgeons in Orange County alone. All of them would probably promise to give you the best results possible for your cosmetic surgery.

Because of the abundance of these cosmetic surgeons, the primary problem is not on finding a cosmetic surgeon to do the job but finding the one that can do the job right. Because of the rise of the number of people deciding on having cosmetic surgery, the number of cosmetic surgeons in Orange County has also increased.

In looking for qualified cosmetic surgeons, you should be willing to invest a lot of time and effort. You can start off by asking for referrals from your friends, family members or co-workers who may have had cosmetic surgery themselves. If they loved the results of the surgery and you also like what the changes you see on them, you might want to include their cosmetic surgeons on your list.

However, you should not just rely on referrals in getting that perfect cosmetic surgery. It would be most beneficial for you if you can do your own research. Try paying close attention to newspaper and television ads. Most professional cosmetic surgeons have the means to advertise their business extensively.

The internet is also a good source of cosmetic surgeons. You’ll probably find several cosmetic surgeons who have their offices or cosmetic clinics around Orange County. You should try to shortlist at least three cosmetic surgeons. Make sure that these surgeons have good credentials.

Because cosmetic surgery has become a booming industry, some cosmetic surgeons nowadays may have only taken a crash course to cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic surgery is an intricate profession, and there’s definitely no shortcut for mastering the art.

Once you have conducted your research, you would need to start visiting the clinics of these surgeons. In Orange County, every professional cosmetic surgeon would offer to give you a good walk around his clinic. He’ll be proud to show you what’s going on. You shouldn’t immediately discuss money matters without a prior tour around the facility.

Also, another thing that would help you choose your cosmetic surgeon is the before/after pictures of his previous patients. A good cosmetic surgeon would be enthusiastic to show you the results of the previous job he has done. Check the photos carefully, just to make sure there are no alterations. Photos for medical purposes should not show any makeup.

Some cosmetic surgeons in Orange County would even go as far as agreeing to have you talk to his previous patients regarding their experience on his cosmetic surgery. If not, most will just have several testimonials on how they have done a great job. That just shows how competent these Orange County cosmetic surgeons are.

Once you have verified everything, including medical accreditation, then you can get down to business. Orange County cosmetic surgeons are professional, thus, you should also expect ‘professional’ prices. However, money should not be on top of your priority list. If you want to get the best cosmetic surgeon, there’s a price to pay for it.

When you have cosmetic surgery, a saving of a few dollars should not entice you. Who would want to save $ 300 and risk surgery complications after? When you look for a cosmetic surgeon, look for a professional, not a discount. And you’ll probably find the professional cosmetic surgeon you’re looking for in Orange County.

Public Speaking – The Money’s in the Template

August 31, 2012 By

Public Speaking – The Money’s in the Template

The best public speakers in the world all agree on one thing. You can’t get good at public speaking without practice. That’s where some public speaking training seminars fail in teaching people how to do successful presentations. Lecturing someone on how to do a presentation will not make a student learn any faster. If you learn by doing, you’ll achieve much higher results!

After several years of public speaking engagements, teaching seminars and performing piano music for worldwide audiences, I woke up one day and realized I didn’t know the first thing about public speaking. That seems like an odd thing to say but it’s true. How did I know I wasn’t any good at it? Because, I didn’t “feel” successful at it.

Then, as luck would have, I reluctantly and skeptically attended a seminar my wife dragged me too. I thought to myself, I’ve been doing this forever and I don’t need to learn anything. But, I went anyway. And boy, am I ever glad I did. For the first time in my life I witnessed a public speaking genius at work. This man was truly amazing. He had every one of the 2,000 people in that audience on the edge of their seats for three entire days!

That was the turning point for me. At that seminar I realize why I didn’t feel like a successful speaker. I resolved myself to learn everything I could about being successful, not only as a public speaker but as a concert performer. And, overnight I went from being a know-it-all to a learn-it-all. I decided to invest in a seminar that promised to teach how to do successful public speaking presentations. Wow! It was even better than their first seminar. It was five entire days of learning, jamb packed with the most incredible public speaking knowledge imaginable.

What happened next is the truly amazing part! As soon as I got home I started incorporating my new found knowledge into my concert piano performances. The result? My audiences began to grow exponentially and my sales of CDs and DVDs went through the roof. Plus, my fee for performing grew to ten times what I was getting previously.

So, I took the knowledge and experience and began my own seminar business. I first started teaching what I knew and was successful at including how to increase your leads and sales through internet marketing, how to succeed in the niche music business, how to sell off the stage and the inner game of success.

What does this all mean for you? If I could use public speaking training to improve my sales, so can you!

The secret formula that I use for my public speaking presentations works great for keynote speeches, training seminars, sales presentations, live concerts, fundraising speeches, wedding speeches, board room presentations, employee motivation, employee training, pitching, team building, networking and virtually every other public speaking and presenting situation you can think of.

What is this amazing secret formula?

IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU, IT’S ABOUT THE AUDIENCE!

What does that mean exactly? Well, the vast majority of performers and public speakers are far too concerned about how they speak, about how they look, how they perform and how they sell themselves. This is 100% guaranteed to have less impact! In fact, if you’re out there trying to sell yourself, think again, few will buy!

Based on my experience, once I started to make the audience the star I generated more audiences, more results, and more money. This was real world proof that the template works! At first using the template felt strange, because of course, the template felt unfamiliar and was very different than anything I had previously tried. But, after only a few engagements, I was able to merge my personality with the template.

With practice, the template began to feel natural and effortless. Now, I use the template for every type of presentation. In fact, I recently did a boardroom sales presentation for a corporation and walked out with a $20,000 deal. How did I do it? The TEMPLATE!

Here’s where you can start. First be open to learning! Then learn the perfectly powerful speaker’s template. Then learn by doing. It’s that easy! Don’t forget to make the audience the star and you’ll realize just how rewarding and profitable public speaking can be.

Enterprise Carbon Emissions Management Ties to Effective Energy Control

Enterprise Carbon Emissions Management Ties to Effective Energy Control

Governments around the world never saw the earth in the same way again after the signing of the Kyoto Protocol.

The scope of this problem is already well defined at the present and specifications on scopes pf responsibilities has already been set. The new US administration is already bound to address environmental issues more effectively.

Today, as the role of business in the play of climate change is the subject of much attention, enterprise carbon and energy management systems are in the process of becoming key management tools.

Corporate practices and methodologies are always changing and dependence on sophisticated platforms and interaction among diverse stakeholders are increasing. We live in a very aware society, one in which media and communication has evolved beyond all recognition. No organization can keep its head stuck in the sand when it comes to climate related issues and each company must take responsibility for its position.

ECEM systems will be able to forge companies to make a stand and be included in the new carbon economy. Significant efforts are on its way to mandate companies to buy allowances for carbon emissions, which is championed by the CRC Energy Efficiency scheme of the British government. In a very short space of time, the carbon footprint has emerged from the realm of public relations to become the subject of a tradable commodity, core to an organization’s very existence.

AS early as 2010, a cap and trade program might be adopted in the US as legislation on this is on the table. We have already seen the willingness of Pres. Obama to focus on core sustainability, as his executive order is now causing federal agency chiefs to hurriedly define their agency emissions, understand sustainability and plan for reductions. Forward thinking organizations should be able to see the possibility that these initiatives will become mandatory in the near future.

Enterprises really need powerful solutions which will be able to provide the needed information and material to succeed. There are already upcoming Enterprise Carbon and Emissions Management Systems.

Carbon trading, in and of itself, can represent a threat or opportunity, depending on how you view it and how prepared you are. It is certain that highly accurate data will be required and that this will require a thorough analysis of the business life cycle. Asset performance must be optimized, understood and recordable, as at the core of enterprise carbon and energy management systems. It is no longer acceptable to “do-it-yourself” using any number of hybrid calculations and approaches. The integrated system must anticipate the information that will be required and provide it in timely fashion.

Many systems provider like Verisae offer platforms which can help address enterprise carbon and energy management. The Sustainability Resource Planning product gathers data from assets across the distributed enterprise, drawing resources together, providing real-time information on energy use, efficiency and subsequent carbon emissions.

What is the Future of the Army?

What is the Future of the Army?

Transformation is one of the hot buzzwords. We all know the world is different than it was during the Cold War. For you youngsters, this was when the US and USSR were facing off and hoping that WWIII wasn’t next.

The world is more complex now. Many places kept the lid on out of fear that their local problems would be the spark that led to WWIII. Without that fear, many of those old issues were allowed to blaze into fire again. Improvements in communication can help a crisis somewhere rapidly spin into a crisis there and somewhere else also. These same improvements in communication allow the public to hear about these problems quickly, and demand an immediate response to a random selection of these.

For WWIII the US Army was built into a very powerful force of heavy armored units with firepower that outclasses the vaunted Panzer divisions of WWII by an order of magnitude.

Transformation is the process of turning those heavy armored forces, called the legacy force, and the more specialized units that worked with them, into something more suited to the current and future situation. Units in the intermediate force, such as the Stryker Brigades, are lighter and easier to move, and require fewer supplies in combat. The new units are less armor and more infantry centered and are more suitable for fighting in built up areas like towns and cities. These forces sacrifice firepower to get this increase in mobility and agility, and expect to use legacy forces and aircraft to provide that firepower when it is needed. Greater use of electronics and computers will increase the situational awareness of units, which is their ability to know the key facts about themselves, the terrain and enemy in real time.

Not all of this change is technological. A standard armored division of the 90s would have more than twenty thousand men and would require additional forces for support. Smaller units would not have all of the things needed to fight independently. The new organization is modular and brigades of a few thousand will have everything they need in order to operate by themselves.

Nor is all of this in the future. Concepts which were being developed for employment over the next decade have instead begun fielding in Iraq and units are currently reorganizing to change the mix of units, getting rid of types which are available in excessive numbers such as field artillery and air defense to allow the creation of more units such as military police, which are in short supply.

Some of the concepts have proven to be the wrong direction and are being dropped. Battery technology has not improved as was hoped; so much of the electronic gear that was to be on each soldier has been dropped. Other gear will be issued to only a percentage of soldiers instead of all.

The goal is to transition to the objective force, one which will use technologies which are being developed now to provide powerful advantages and allow even smaller forces to outmaneuver and destroy less capable enemy forces.

Ideas For Healthy Mexican Desserts

Ideas For Healthy Mexican Desserts

A lot of Mexican dessert recipes are high in sugar, chocolate, fat and cream. This is fine if you want an occasional indulgence but at other times it is nice to know a few healthy Mexican recipes.

If you have enjoyed a filling Mexican meal with plenty of cheese, sour cream, meat and more, you might be craving something light and refreshing for dessert anyway.

Mexicans love fruit and they also love frozen desserts like popsicles, ice cream, and sorbet. You can freeze some fruit juice in a popsicle mold to make your own Mexican popsicles. Add a little milk to make them creamy. Try some Mexican flavors like chili powder and watermelon juice, orange and lime or cucumber and mint, for a real taste of Mexico!

A lot of Mexican cake recipes and cookie recipes contain a lot of sugar or processed flour, so if you fancy something a bit more nutritious you could make Mexican wheat cookies, which contain rolled oats, whole-wheat flour and almonds, to satisfy your hunger for longer, rather than something higher in fat and calories.

You can always adapt existing Mexican dessert recipes to make them healthier. Swap the sugar for a sugar-free sweetener or make your Mexican cookies smaller (remember they will probably need less baking time if you do that). Healthy desserts can have just as much flavor as regular ones, but not everybody knows how to make healthy dessert recipes, so it is good to learn a few tips and tricks.

How to Make Cinnamon Oranges

One great Mexican dessert is cinnamon oranges. Oranges are one of the fruits to feature in many different Mexican dessert recipes because of their citrus taste and their versatility.

To make a tasty dessert with oranges, you need to remove the skin and white pith from four navel oranges. Cut each one into five slices and arrange them on four serving plates. Whisk together two tablespoons of orange juice, two tablespoons of lemon or limejuice, a tablespoon of sugar and a quarter teaspoon of ground cinnamon.

Spoon this mixture over the orange slices. This is a healthy recipe, which would also be tasty with a teaspoon of Grand Marnier added to the citrus juice mixture. If you want something extra healthy, replace the sugar with a sugar-free sweetener.

How to Make a Hot Banana Dessert

You can make a high fat dessert by drizzling melted chocolate over a sliced banana, and serving it with lashings of whipped cream. Alternatively, you can use bittersweet or semisweet chocolate instead of a higher sugar variety, and swap the whipped cream for nonfat vanilla yogurt. Broil or bake the banana rather than frying it in oil or butter.

For a delicious Mexican flavor, stir a little chili powder into the chocolate as you slowly melt it. You can add a little chili powder to most desserts with chocolate actually – not enough to make it spicy but a sufficient amount to give it a little kick.

Seven Things You Need For Internet Network Marketing Success

August 31, 2012 By

Seven Things You Need For Internet Network Marketing Success

Like any industry, the internet has truly revolutionized the network marketing industry. Today, internet network marketing or internet MLM for short, is the “in” thing and is starting to attract many people who once loathed the idea of calling and meeting prospects to build their network marketing business.

Internet network marketing is truly a dream business. Network marketing provides the leverage from other people’s efforts. The internet provides the leverage from technology. Therefore, embarking on internet network marketing will provide the twin leverage from both technology and the marketing efforts of other people.

With internet network marketing, it is now possible to get one’s marketing message out to potentially thousands or even millions of people. Marketing using email, forums and even articles help turn a cold market to a warm market by building relationships first before prospects say yes to an internet network marketing business opportunity. The biggest advantage is there is no need to do any more cold calling.

However, if you delve deeper, what it takes to really succeed at internet network marketing is not that different from the success factors of the traditional network marketing business. The seven major ingredients to success include the following:

1) Ability to Duplicate One’s Results

While the internet helps to remove the pain of face-to-face rejection to any internet network marketing opportunity, an internet network marketer still has to have a sales and marketing system in place which is easy for his or her internet MLM downlines to duplicate. Whether one’s internet network marketing business is able to experience explosive growth will hinge on the duplicability of the marketing system.

2) Focus And Persistence

With a slew of information about new, promising internet marketing and internet multi-level marketing opportunities coming onto the internet every hour, it is extremely to easy to lose focus and there is a strong tendency for any new internet network marketer to jump from one opportunity to another.

Just like in a traditional MLM business, it does take time and persistence for any internet MLM business to bear fruit. The only advantage of using the internet to do any network marketing is the speed and reach the internet provides. In addition, one needs to persist when embarking on a particular traffic and lead generation strategy and give it some time to be tested before hopping to the next traffic and lead generation strategy.

3) Relationship Building

The adage, “People don’t care how much you know till they know how much you care” still applies to internet network marketing! Even with the proliferation of internet broadband technology and pervasive computing, most internet MLM prospects still require constant contacts via email or other means before they say yes.

4) You Being The Product

When a prospect say yes, it is because he or she trusts you. Therefore, despite the hype that is being offered elsewhere on the internet, whether one succeeds in internet network marketing depends on whether one is able deliver value and help his or her internet MLM downlines to succeed. Leadership and integrity are values one cannot do without. Personal branding also becomes a requirement.

5) The True Benefit Offered By Internet Network Marketing

The true benefit of joining any internet network marketing business does not have any thing to do with how good your company’s products are. Internet network marketing, just like any traditional network marketing business, is actually built on financial hopes and dreams.

The more one is able to help his or her internet MLM downlines fulfill their hopes and dreams, the more successful one becomes in internet network marketing.

6) Constant Personal Development

According to Stephen Covey, to be truly effective in anything we do, we have to constantly be prepared and “sharpen our saw”. T Harv Eker also mentioned in his book, “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind”, our income can only grow only to the extent we do. We have to strive to be the right person in the right place at the right time.

Therefore, to ensure that our internet network marketing income grows, we have to ensure that we grow personally as well.

7) The Core Desire And Decision To Succeed

Lastly but MOST importantly, one has to apply this basic, inner natural law of wealth attraction and success which has been reiterated by countless gurus. Napolean Hill’s “Think And Grow Rich” talks about the need to have the desire to be rich and successful before any turning point can occur.

Bob Proctor says that being rich and successful requires first and foremost a decision to be rich and successful. Basically doing nothing is also a decision.

According to Jack M Zufelt, goal setting and daily affirmations will come to nought without the core desire to succeed. When our core desire is absent, we can write ten goals and most likely we will only achieve one or two goals. The remaining eight goals, we will either miss or not even get started on them! This happens because we did not single out our core desire, and determine what we really want. When we have correctly isolated that core desire, we simply become juggernauts who cannot be stopped!

In life, given the roles we have at work and at home, we only have very limited hours each day to devote to our internet MLM business. Therefore, before we say yes to any internet MLM opportunity, we should select an internet network marketing company that offers an easily, effective and duplicable system, financial freedom if we persist at it, and at the same time allow us to “sharpen our saw”. The concept of “earn and learn” [http://www.home-business-strategy.com] will certainly give one’s internet network marketing business a much needed boost.
