This is an update on my growth and success so far with my direct sales business in Liberty League International (LLI). I started a serious personal development journey with the receipt of my Beyond Freedom multimedia training course from Liberty League. Beyond Freedom is the initial and premier product provided through LLI and well worth the investment if you are serious about making positive changes in your life. Beyond Freedom allowed me to let go of my limiting beliefs and past mental baggage that were all holding me back from reaching the goals and success I knew I deserved in life.

I have a fantastic Mentor and Summit Advisor who is also a valued friend. Tony Rush is "the real thing" when it comes to a person who as been there, done that, and successfully worked his way out of it. In only three and a half years with LLI Tony has come from living in a cinder block home with no money to pay for heat, using a wood stove, and working for only $7.00 an hour as a clerk in a chain bookstore, to making more money in a month than most people make in a year. He has become a cherished friend over the years that I've known him. Tony provides great, serious, and sincere support, training, and team leadership; talked up a lot in the industry but rarely found in reality.

After working very hard with little results, Tony and I had a deep and serious conversation about what was holding me back from my well deserved success. As a direct result of that discussion I made a decisive decision to move forward and do whatever it takes all the while "being" the leader and owner of my own life and business. What a dramatic change in my life. Within a period of four days after that discussion I made two sales of Beyond Freedom for a profit of $1,000.00 each and became Beyond Freedom qualified as an Advisor.

The LLI business is very simple and anyone may be successful by only applying the simple three step system. Here are the three steps:

1) Generate leads
2) Invite to and book a business presentation call
3) Follow up with a 3-way call and collect a decision

That's it! I've learned not to make this business more complicated than it needs to be and I'm famous for that in my life. After a qualified prospect goes through the above three steps they either "get it" or they don't. No selling, convincing, manipulating, or pressure. Just collect a simple decision. Anyone can do this business and be successful.

This was a very enlightening and exciting experience for me. I experienced the total support of other Summit Advisors in reaching my goals. Never, in all of the years trying to work MLM and network marketing, have I had such immediate and profitable success. This caused me to have a tremendous feeling of release from the old mental baggage and the application of what I've learned on my personal development journey.

I believe if you have read this entire article you too may be interested in experiencing what I have with LLI. Get in touch with me on my private line: 804-741-5714 before 9 PM Eastern Time, or by email: csmattice@comcast.net. I will be happy to have a quick 4-5 minute conversation with you and determine if you would like to go to the next step.

After having a very enlightening and insightful discussion and training with my mentor, I finally struck upon the best and most effective way to establish and write personal goals. I know you may have read how to develop and write goals many times but this is the most unique and functional method I have ever run across.

Let me start by saying, what do you really want out of life? I know that sounds like an overwhelming and loaded question, but it can be dealt with if you simply break the components down into workable elements.

I found that I really like the SMART system. It is a proven method of defining and developing goals. Use these guidelines to identify and write your goals.

S - Specific: M - Measurable: A - Attainable: R - Relevant: T - Timetable-able:

I'm sure you can already tell where I'm going with this but bear with me and I will walk you through an explanation and you will quickly see the simple steps involved in writing goals.

Specific - Identify your precise why. Your why is a primary motivator in your quest to obtain your worthwhile goals. It is what you are passionate about. It may be financial, spiritual, health, material, etc. For example, if your goal is financial, what "exact amount" do you want to earn and, most importantly, what will it provide? I learned the hard way when I first developed my goals; I actually had no specific financial amount listed. Thus, it begs the question, how much did I wish to achieve? If your goal has to do with weight reduction, "how much" do you wish to take off and what size will you wear? The more specific you are the better your mind will be able to grasp the concept and achieve your goal. If you're goal is to buy a car--know the color, make, model, options and all the details of the exact car you want. Take time to visualize having achieved what you desire. How do you feel now that you have achieved your goal? Get emotionally involved with the result. Your mind, meaning specifically your subconscious, will believe whatever you tell it real and imagined. It can't tell the difference, nor does it care. Goals can only be accomplished when coupled with serious emotional feeling. Your subconscious does not speak a language it communicates by emotions, feelings, and the senses.

Measurable - Identify your marker--how will you know you are moving in the right direction? Set a specific date for your accomplishment and reinforce it within your subconscious as being true and attainable. Your goal must be measurable. Saying "I want to be out of debt" definitely isn't going to get you the results you want. Saying, "I will earn $50K by September 1, 2008" is far more positive. The result, of course, will be that you are out of debt as well.

Attainable - You must believe that you are able to achieve your goal. However, the farther you reach the farther you will go. It may seem somewhat unrealistic to you now, but it shouldn't seem insurmountable. You must stretch your comfort zone and when you become more comfortable, stretch it again, and continue.

Relevant - Your goal should be something you are passionate about. You should be emotionally involved with your goal. Remember how your subconscious works? Feelings, senses, and emotions are what it really understands. If you are married or have a partner, each person should have their own goals, ones that are personal to you that you desire to achieve. Relevant personal goals must be just that, personal to you with no concern to other people.

Timetable - able - Your goals should have an expected date of completion. This is usually an educated guess. Obviously none of us can really see our future and that is probably a good thing. We must set doable time restraints upon our goals and actions. Keep in mind that work expands to fill the time allowed for it! If you want $1,000 by the end of the week, state it with conviction that you desire $1,000 by Friday, the 5th of August.

Once you have set your goals, spend time daily reflecting on them. I would suggest reading them a minimum of three times a day. When you first wake up in the morning, at lunch, and just before you go to bed in the evening. Write them onto your goal cards, three by five cards are the best, and carry them with you everywhere. Identify what actions are necessary to take on a daily and weekly basis to achieve your goals. Keep in mind however, the difference between a task and action you must take, and an actual end result goal. In addition, identify what actions you currently are taking that are NOT in alignment with achieving your goals (ex: TV & video games). Follow through with consistent, focused action. When you have goals you are emotionally involved causing feelings, using the senses, and are passionate about, taking action will be easy.

In summary I must express my appreciation to my mentor, Liberty League International, and the Beyond Freedom Program for opening up this area of my life and having it all make sense. By use of the above information I was able to develop reachable, emotional, and fun goals for myself from a daily basis out to six months. I'm still working on the long term goals and working backwards. Working backwards? Well, that's a subject for another article.

Strange title I know but I want to get you thinking about this. Have you ever "really" watched squirrels and what they do day in and day out? Well, it's actually quite interesting. At least I think so.

Squirrels seem to have a genetically innate sense of what to do in life. They get up early in the morning and until dusk they are out foraging for nuts. Not unlike those of us in Network Marketing and MLM. We too are always looking for the quality "nuts" available to us.

Oh! You say. But squirrels don't have to deal with rejection like we do. To that I say ah ha! But they do experience rejection. How many times have you watched a squirrel foraging around in your yard, hopping from one place to another, and always digging their little holes? They are of the positive mental attitude that they will always find a nut in just the next hole.

Watching the squirrels you will see them dig their little holes, stick their fuzzy little nose in the ground and come up with..........nothing! What do they do? The same thing we do when prospecting. They disregard the outcome and move on, optimistically; to the next hole they will dig. OK Craig! What about rejection after talking with a prospect?

Well I'll tell you. Many times the squirrel will actually find a nut in the ground, probably buried by themselves earlier or by another squirrel. They pull the nut out all excitedly, sniff it a few time, chew on it a little bit and realize................this nut is no good anymore. Blah! Been in the ground too long!

Now that is real rejection from the squirrel's point of view. All of that work hunting, digging, sniffing, and chewing, for what, a smelly no good rotten nut. Bummer!

We are not unlike the experience of the squirrel in Network Marketing and MLM. Always searching, prospecting in our many ways, only to talk to a promising prospect/lead and they won't answer our next phone call or email. They just disappear into the "Prospect Protection Program."

How many holes does a squirrel have to dig to find a "good" nut? I don't know. I do know they don't whine; go back to their nest and quite. They just keep on going, day in and day out, constantly looking for that "good" nut.

Our outlook should be as positive and optimistic as the squirrels in your own yard. Day in and day out we should prospect and talk to leads. Examine each as and unique individual and determine if they are a "good" nut or "bad" nut. And keep taking positive forward action.

As with the squirrels, we will even need to place nuts and prospects back on the follow through list as they're not ready for what we are looking for in a "good nut." So the next time you're prospecting or calling leads, think of your neighborhood squirrel and don't quite.
