Pioneering Efforts: Johnson Fulfills his Vision
Johnson’s stint at Supreme Liberty Life Insurance had inspired him to go off on his own. He had the desire, he had the energy, but what he was sorely lacking was capital to start his company. Few were eager to give their money to an unknown African American entrepreneur with little previous experience in the business world. He even tried his luck with the First National Bank of Chicago, which he had approached for a $500 loan. “I’m one of First National’s premium customers today,” Johnson later recalled. “But the assistant to the assistant that I managed to see in 1942 laughed in my face. ‘Boy,’ he said, ‘we don’t make any loans to colored people.’”

Dreams CAN Come True Heres How
Eleanor Roosevelt said, “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams” and there are also numerous studies that prove the value of writing down and keeping track of your thoughts and goals. Here are three strategies that have worked for me in helping me to achieve more in life.
Presidential List
I read an article recently that made a lot of sense to me. Doris Kearns Goodwin is a Pulitzer Prize winner for her books on history, and she made a list of ten points that are important for a President to consider and to emulate if they hoped to be great. She has written books about Abraham Lincoln and Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, and she believes leadership strengths should be considered carefully before voting. Here are some of the attributes that she feels make for a great leader--and I agree!
CONFIDENCE BOOSTERS
As you're probably only too aware, our confidence and self esteem are very variable - more of a wavy line than a straight line. Some days we feel we could conquer the world and other days we just want to hide under the duvet! We can miss opportunities because we allow fear and self doubt to get in the way. We undermine our confidence by taking things too personally and by trying to second guess what others think of us. I love the phrase: "What you think of me is none of my business!" And Eleanor Roosevelt famously said: "No-one can make you feel inferior without your permission."

Lady Gaga not only entertains but she inspires her audience to believe in themselves. As network marketers we too should inspire ourselves and our team members to believe in their network marketing dreams.
Who will you choose to work with?
You’d think with all the literature, research, evidence etc out there that small business owners would know who their target customers were and what their needs are. And yet, still I went to a networking event the other day and heard a lady say that she could help “everyone”.

Eleanor Roosevelt Teaches Sales 101
Whenever I hear a prospect tell me "no" I think of Eleanor Roosevelt who once said, "Never take a "no" from someone that can't say "yes". How true... Many times the prospect that says "no" cannot say "yes" either because they aren't a decision-maker, or they are the wrong person to be speaking to in the first place. Of course the prospect never tells you they can't say "yes". So it's up to you to find out! Next time a prospect tells you "no", follow Eleanor Roosevelt's rule, and make sure that you're getting a valid "no" from the prospect you're speaking with, and not from someone that can only say "no" because they can't say "yes".
