My last post consisted of an update on how the Master Key System helped me hone my skills, since, my last post Mark has written several excellent blog posts on skills necessary to build a successful Network Business, I look at the process as learning skills which will encourage people to open up, share information, and have an open mind. As I listen to people, express concern about issues in their lives I feel their frustration and desire for a solution, my family and I recently had breakfast at a national breakfast chain, our waitress was friendly and outgoing, she wished us a great day, I asked about her holiday plans, she immediately shared she had just returned from a vacation, she shared some of her travel mishaps and concluded by saying she was glad to be back home. I initiate conversations with people I did not know, I am less shy and more confident I believe in myself , my business model and other peoples’ ability to achieve success, as network marketers we believe in people until they believe in themselves , we teach new people skills can be learned by anyone , and each of us already posses the necessary skills the only requirement is: make a commitment , believe and succeed. The launch of Go90Grow, skills training will further help increase our skills.

Well, it is has been almost two months since I completed the MK – course, the group has connected a couple of times since our last session for updates and to keep up with the latest technology necessary to move our businesses forward. I have seen changes in my business skills since I completed the course, namely my ability to approach people with my business model and to sort out those who do not have the commitment to stay the course. We are all capable of achieving if we apply ourselves, skills are the building blocks for anything that we want to do in life, take for example my kid studied band this year, at the onset of her study she knew nothing about playing, or reading music, when the semester ended her skills had advanced to the level of reading notes and playing relatively well for a beginner, I share this example to help explain the importance to acquiring skills for any endeavor we undertake, while I understand that skills are the foundation to success, application of skills, and commitment to see the situation through to completion are often obstacles, as I learned in the MK-system to achieve success in your network marketing business or any business in my opinion one has to present the business model, to a large segment of people, sort out those who have the tenacity, commitment level, and willingness to go the extra mile necessary to achieve success, I am committed to growing my team the people I have on my team are like me they want success and have a vision for themselves and their families. I am excited for myself and all those who want to get on board make positive changes.

Week 25, as I stated, is a continuation of rounding the bend with my Master Key course, I have gone from I think I can, to I know I can, I have learned about websites, technology, and believing in myself, the phone is not quite as heavy as before, now that I have an arsenal of skills, strong comfort level , and network of support friends, bear in mind this journey and new skills does not happen over night, what does happen and has happened is my awareness , skill level, confidence, and commication have grown which are keys vital to any successful business.

This is week 24 of my Master key Journey, my…my has the time gone quickly, I’m actually going to use this post and next to discuss what I have learned and how I have grown during this six month process, I wanted to take this course to learn skills to enhance my skills and build a solid business. The training and, relationships I am building is immeasurable, in that network marketing is a business which helps people to grow, stretch, and become strong communicators with a heart for people. Reading The Greatest Salesman In The World , will change your entire thinking; the book creates tenacity and determination to reach goals no matter how challenging the process may be. I have learned a vast amount of information which not only will help me as a network marketer, but as a servant to the people I meet in life.

This weeks’ Master Key lesson is a continuation of last week in that we continue to discuss the importance of service, think for a moment how nice it feels to receive card, note, fun email, touch on the shoulder or many countless other kind gestures, service is that way, when a service is performed on ones behalf a feeling of concern and kindness is displayed, often reciprocal service is received, this is why it’s said to get more give more. In Master Key reading lesson twenty-three Haanel states “The first law of success is service which is built on integrity and justice” it is not only important to be a servant character and integrity are important as well, in a servant capacity sensitive information sometimes comes in play, thus those we are in service to, want comfort that the servant not only has a servant heart but integrity as well. Network Marketing is a sharing business, information is shared among people to help with a particular need, situation or condition, in order to be successful in network marketing we share information, serve and help others, which in turn allows the servant to achieve individual goals and have the fulfillment of helping many other people.

The decision to take a different path in life can be difficult, challenging but ultimately can lead to blessings, rewards, and success. It takes courage to take a different path when those around are choosing another path, when friends , family say don’t take a particular direction staying the course can be stressful , many successful people have displayed courage as they worked to achieve they definite major purpose in life people such as , inventors, coaches, network marketers, and business leaders , consider for example the late John H. Johnson, founder of Johnson Publishing Company, he had a vision to create a business during a period when the odds of success were doubly stacked against him, yet with the support of his mother who allowed him to use her furniture as collateral on a loan Mr. Johnson created a multi-million dollar organization and left a legacy for his family to continue building. Network Marketing is a business which has the potential for those with proper skills to achieve wealth and time freedom, this weeks’ Master Key discusses the importance of spiritual growth, taking the road less traveled, not giving up on ones dreams and goals and being a servant to anyone and all we meet, in so helping others, we ultimately help ourselves, as we learn much more about ourselves, as we reach out to others.

Space program rich in history and education ends well

As I begin to write a short reflection for week 21 I’m struck with the fact that all things must come to an end or change, such as the case with the NASA program many people dislike change, run and complain when it occurs, rather than run embrace change work to accept change when it happens.  When I was employed fulltime I thought that I would remain in my position until I retired, I did not want to change with the exception of a promotion to increase my pay, well as the economy began to change I began to look for a Plan B income,   as I began exploring the options I learned there are many opportunities to work achieve income and have a life without giving up all ones time and energy.  I think people become complacent, with their lives, and jobs, it becomes easier to remain in one place than to change, sitting around the lunch table complaining, about the job, and all that is required is easier than working a system of change, I see the situation differently, I feel compelled to change, and try something new, my business network marketing   makes dreams a reality, the Master Key Master Mind System is the vehicle I choose to learn the skills I need to grow my business. In my opinion even if I never achieve success  at least like Peter I  got out of the boat and started walking, my learning curve is steep, fear sets in, but I preserve  to attain the goal I have set for myself

My dream a wonderful retirement location for my husband, me and family

Week 20 of the MK system began this week with members of the group teaching and providing insight and business building techniques, it was also suggested that we consider if the DMP, PPN and Press Release are still on target.   Well,  I took a look at my  DMP and PPN , my DMP  does need to be re-evaluated I’m still on target  for most  of  my DMP,  the core of my DMP is  for my family and our ability to meet our financial obligations .   My PPN of spiritual growth and liberty, as I stated on prior blogs, I enjoy the freedom and liberty I have working a home business, while my business is not where I want it to be presently, the Master Mind Master Key System (MKMMA) is a wonderful vehicle to help me enhance my skills, alleviate my fears of picking up the phone to contact people to build my business. Liberty is defined as freedom from control, interference or obligation, I don’t know too many people who do not appreciate the opportunity to do what they want as it relates to work, most individuals complain about work,  having to account for their time etc.  Employees begin the work week looking forward to the week-end, sometimes when people are asked how they are they reply “It’s Monday, ask me later!! One would think this type of thinking would lend itself to actively seeking opportunities which generate liberty.  What I’m learning from the MK system is while people want liberty, sometimes the price is too high in terms of commitment and tenacity, I am learning to evaluate and weed out those people who have the drive to hang in there to achieve the liberty and financial blessings they want.

We have all heard the acronym FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real), this week’s MK reading is  discusses fear, I think each person has some fear,  some people  are afraid of public speak ,  spiders, reptiles,  heights , there are too many fears to   imagine, Psychiatrist, Psychologist have studied people and written many books on the subject.  Since beginning the MK system I have begun to learn how important it is to change ones thinking, realize that most people have similar fears and struggle just as I do, as I open up share my feelings others are likely to do the same.  As a network marketer, I’m learning to accept while people may want change in their lives, and finance, fear of past network marketing experiences, coupled with fear of trying something new frequently  stop them from giving network marketing a chance.

An excerpt from this weeks’ lesson summarizes the ability fear has to paralyze and prohibit one from achieving the best.

“You may know that thought constantly, eternally is taking

form, is forever seeking expression, or you may not, but the

fact remains that if your thought is powerful, constructive, and

positive, this will be plainly evident in the state of your health,

your business and your environment; if your thought is weak,

critical, destructive and negative generally, it will manifest in

your body as fear, worry and nervousness, in your finance as

lack and limitation, and in discordant conditions in your

environment…”

As February begins it allows me to start the next scroll in The World’s Greatest Salesman. This scroll like each of the previous scroll causes me to reflect.  In the past when situations have not gone as I hoped , I have spent an inordinate amount of time reflecting on the situation my  idea being  reflect –analyze – see where I made my mistake, so I can grow and become better, while this premise has merit I would dwell too long, thus slowing down my goals and plans. In my  business of networking,  I am learning my goal is to  focus on my  personal growth,  desire to help others achieve their dreams and goals,  be a servant to the people I encounter; in so doing  I  achieve my goals.  My career background is social service my natural tendency is to care about others, the difference  I think is my approach, I’m accustomed to individuals  wanting the information I have to provide,  expressing a willingness to implement some of my suggestions for change, to help them move forward ,so there will be no further need for my services, there are always exceptions,  but generally that how it goes, in my new business of networking my service is equally important, to become financially self-sufficient, provide for ones’ family now and in the future, the response is different , the different responses I receive were confusing until I began this system. I’m learning change is difficult, for me, and the people I approach, while they want more money, time, etc. in some cases  the tenacity and courage to work and achieve is difficult, as for me I’m accustomed to helping, sharing and experiencing  some positive responses to my  business  model.  The Mast Key Master Mind System (MK) helps me grow, change my thinking, realize while people may want what I have to share in my business, they may not be ready to move forward, I’m learning acceptance, skills of how to approach people,  accountability for my time and theirs. Ultimately not worrying about my mistakes, over analyzing, simply accept what is expressed don’t worry about yesterday just keep moving forward.
