More Millionaire Secrets for Network Marketers
Here is a series of stories about people having the great fortune to be “at the right place at the right time,” and the stories show a comparison of two time frames for achieving success. The first timeline is the 10 year/10,000 hour theory that defines the time period it took Bill Joy, Bill Gates and a musical artist to hit their stride. The second timeline is currently the 1 to 2 year time investment it can take for network marketers to hit their stride in financial success. The overall timelines are vastly different but still very related in terms of work ethic.

Online Entrepreneur – Opportunity to embrace the new trend
The last business that I failed in was in the holiday and tourism industry. I had partnered with 2 other friends in selling timeshare packages to the market. The money seemed good, the business plan was drawn out and we got on with the game. However, the economic downturn hit and out went the sales. No one was interested in buying up vacation packages when all they had on their mind was survival. You can say ‘Wrong timing’ or ‘Ignorance of Economic Trends’ was the cause of the downfall. It did cost me a bit of money – office rent, office furniture and fixtures, brochure design and printing, etc. And that’s when I went broke the second time in my life!

Home Based Business Overnight Success
Home based business owners have longed for overnight success for as long as business has existed. You might think it is greed or laziness that allows the human imagination to run wild with concepts that could make us rich. Living life in the fast lane has become a way of life in our society. Instant gratification permeates every area of our daily activities. Cell phones, microwave ovens, fast foods, jets and the internet are just a few examples of areas where we have come to expect quick access to what we want. The Internet is the most amazing medium for technology.The fact is, though, even highly motivated people can get caught up in the promise of riches without effort. This dream is highly promoted for internet home based business.

Should I Decide with My Head or My Gut?
We can safely say that humans are decision making animals. However, just because we are constantly making decisions doesn’t mean that these decisions are necessarily rational. In fact, most of our decisions are not rational. They are made on the spur of the moment out of habit or, in more extreme circumstances, intuitively or instinctively. Intuition is essential in crises and emergencies, whereas a more deliberate approach is needed when time and circumstances permit. This article provides some rules of thumb to follow in rapid decision making

Would You Want It If It Were Free?
The meme of “Free” is one again making the rounds. I expect it reignited when Chris Anderson’s new book Free: The Future of a Radical Price (available on Amazon for $17.81) quickly followed by Malcolm Gladwell’s semi-scathing review in the New Yorker titled “Priced to Sell. Is Free the future?” (I kind of feel like Gladwell wimped out on the review, even though I like Anderson’s point of view better than Gladwell’s.) This then created a predictable tussle in the blogosphere, the kind of which I find tedious and dull, so I avoided the rest of it.
Hard Work, Outstanding Performance and Success
Outstanding performance is an important key to career and life success. As Malcolm Gladwell points out, outstanding performers are hard workers. They know what they want and do whatever it takes to get it. They enthusiastically act on their dreams. This action helps them reach their goals. There is no way around hard work. You have to put in the time and effort if you want to be successful. Ask any "overnight success." Everyone that I've ever met tells me that they spent years and years getting to the place where they became an "overnight success." Set your goals. Work hard. Work smart. And you'll succeed.
