A Life Lesson From Charlie Brown

Ever watch Charlie Brown?  Do you remember the one where the were playing baseball and it was bottom of the ninth, tied score and I think Lucy was playing the outfield.  There was a fly ball and headed right for her and….. She missed it.

When asked later, by Charlie Brown, What happened?  She replied, “I had missed so many fly balls previously that the past got in my eyes.”

To you that may just sound like a line out of a cartoon.  There is a powerful lesson to be learned from that day out on the field.

How many of us let the past get in our eyes?  I have to admit, I always catch myself thinking about how good I had it as a teenager all the way through college. I have lived a good life, however, I know my best life is Always yet to come, so I quickly stop thinking about the “Good Ole Days”.

How Network Marketing Has Changed The World.

Today there are over 60 million people around the globe in the network marketing industry. Why?  Because it has offered people hope, a future and the ability to dream again.

Hope

Somewhere along the way people have forgotten about the things that are most important to them and have traded those things in for what I like to call “The Big Lie”.  The big lie is taught from a very young age.  Go to school, get an education and go to work for a large corporation. Then work your ass off for the next 50 years and you should have enough to retire comfortably.  How many people do you know that this has happened for?

If you have been in the workforce for any number of years, you know how it gets.  Your company wants you to do more work for the same pay.  Eventually people lose hope for a better future and after a number of years of the same old, in the same position, looking forward to their 2-4 weeks of vacation every year with a 3-5% increase in pay.  What a joke.

I am not down on jobs, I am down on corporations keeping their board of directors pockets fat while the very people who make everything happen on the front lines are losing their homes, cars and marriages.

The Power Of A MasterMind Group

Many Minds Working Together in Callaboration Towards a Common Goal………………………………..

At least thats what most people say. I was about to call it a night and retire to the couch to watch the ladder part of a House episode and it hit me like a ton of bricks.  ” I have so much more to do tonight, yet am so tired”, I thought to myself.  So what is keeping me here, writing this to you?  Well, lets just say that I know my team is also awake plugging away at making this world, somehow, a better place.

Having a group of people that you surround yourself with that have common goals, common interests and an uncompromising will to win, is invaluable.  A mastermind group helps one expand their horizons of thought and will hold you accountable to yourself and those things that are true and right.  Being a part of one will cause you to stretch youself, allow for constructive criticism  and lastly will pick you up when you are down.

It Expands Your Horizons Of Thought
