He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They could get by.

The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career.

When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to inspect the house, the contractor handed the front-door key to the carpenter. "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you."

Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Build wisely. It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived graciously and with dignity. The plaque on the wall says, "Life is a do-it-yourself project." Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices you make today.

WOW what a story. It is the same thing we need make sure we do for our Internet Marketing business. The last sentence is profound, “Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices you make today.” This is so true. What I am going to give to you today is the foundation on building a strong house. There are four critical areas you must address before you do anything with your Marketing Business.

1) Goals:

What do you dream about? Car, House, more time with the kids, pay off bills! What is it that makes you want to bust at the seams. Is it trips, vacations or sporting events. I would suggest that you take the time to list out 50 to 100 dreams. You can add and delete dreams from the list at anytime. The key is, to keep these dreams in the foreground I would like you to read these dreams over three times per day; morning afternoon and night for 30 days. You have too have a WHY, when your doing any type of business. The WHY will help you forge ahead in those tough times and makes you ride the high wave for longer. My suggestion is to find your goals priority one!

2) Belief/Passion:

You have to be passionate about what you are doing. This passion will lead to a long lasting belief in yourself that your networking business is going to work. This belief /passion will carry you through the times you feel like throwing your hands up in the area and saying “I am done”. There are going to be tough times and you have belief in yourself that you can pull through it. This is where your up line support can be so crucial. Make sure you are communicating with your upline, or mentor. They will have the experience to tell you exactly what is needed to help you through your obstacle. The key is to be passionate about what your doing and the belief you have abilities to make it happen

3) Persistence:

Don't' quite too soon! Most network marketing business takes TIME to develop. You have to go in knowing this will be commitment you will have to see through to the end. If you belief that will get rich quick you are heading down the wrong path. I know that some network marketers have struck the pot at the end of the rain bow. The chances of this happening are slim. You will need to take time to develop and understand how the networking marketing system works. This takes time and persistence.

4) Time:

You guessed it. The biggest issue for all network marketers is time. You have to MAKE time, whether that is 5 am in the morning or 11 pm at night. You have to find at least 1 to 2 hours a day to promote and manager your business. Time is the biggest excuse for people to say their business failed. Really it was there lack of goals, their belief and the persistence required to find the TIME to make it work. Make the time!

There four attitudes are key to building a strong house. Remember, “Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices you make today.” I wish you all the best!
