Do you know the 90/10 Secret??

Do you know the 90/10 Secret??



The 90/10 secret is incredible! Very few know and apply this secret. The result? Millions of people are suffering undeserved stress, trials, problems, and heartache. They never seem to be a success in life. Bad days follow bad days. Terrible things seem to be constantly happening. Theirs is constant stress, lack of joy, and broken relationships. Worry consumes time, anger breaks friendships, and life seems dreary and is not enjoyed to the fullest. Friends are lost. Life is a bore and often seems cruel. Does this describe you? If so, do not be discouraged. You can be different!. Understand and apply the 90/10 secret. It will change your life! 


What is this secret?




10% of life is made up of what happens to you.
90% of life is decided by how you react.

What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane may be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%! How? By your reaction. You cannot control a red light, but you can control your reaction. Don't let people fool you, YOU can control how you react!

Let's use an example. You're eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just happened. What happens next will be determined by how you react. You curse. You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the coffee cup over. She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup to close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. 

You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs you find your daughter has been to busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus. Your spouse must leave immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit.

After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 (traffic fine) away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs to the building without saying good-bye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started badly. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to going home. When you arrive home you find a small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter.

Why? Because of how you reacted in the morning. 

A) Did the coffee cause it?
B) Did your daughter cause it?
C) Did the Policeman cause it?
D) Did you cause it?

The answer is D. You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day.

Here is what could have and should have happened. Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say "It's OK honey, you just need to be more careful next time". Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a clean shirt and your briefcase. You come back down in time look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You and your spouse kiss before you both go to work. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on what a good day you are having.

Notice the difference. Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different. Why? Because of how you REACTED. You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% is determined by your reaction. 

Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 secret.

If someone says something negative about you, do not be sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You do not have to let the negative comment affect you! React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out, etc. 

How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper? Pound the steering wheel? Do you curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them? WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the blue car ruin your drive.

Remember the 90-10 principle, and do not worry about it! 

You are told you lost your job. Why lose sleep or get irritated? It will work out. Use your "worrying" energy and time into finding another job.

The plane is late. It is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take out your frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on. Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger, etc. Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse.

You now know the 90/10 secret. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results.

9 Confidence Building Techniques That Will Help You Ace Anything!


How-To-Build-Confidence9 Confidence Building Techniques That Will Help You Ace Anything!

Having a high level of confidence can do wonders in every aspect of your life from your physical appearance to your sleeping patterns. It is proven that people with a lot of confidence are more successful, healthy, and enjoy a more fulfilling life.
Below are our ’9 confidence building techniques that will help you ace anything’.



1. Stop Comparing Yourself to Others

comparing yourself to others
One of the most effective self-confidence building techniques that will immediately improve your confidence is to stop comparing yourself to others. This is trouble and in reality, you only see a small slice of how that person really is. Everyone, thinks, feels, learns and sees things differently. You are the only person on this planet with your ability, it may not be some sort of super-human power you posses but the possibilities in you and the way you do things will be endless and different to everybody else, no two fingerprints are the same. Remember that!
When you compare yourself to other people you tend to compare yourself to the one person who you believe has it best in life. This is definitely not a good way to assess yourself. Instead worry about what it takes to be someone that you like yourself. You would be shocked at how much happier people who like themselves are than people who do not.


2. Always Make Eye Contact

Most people are incredibly afraid of how other people will judge them in a multitude of different situations. By making eye contact you tell yourself that you are worthy, unafraid, and confident. You also send the same message to the other person/people that you are talking to.
A little trick I find that works is to look between their eyebrows in the center of their head, this is less intimidating for you as you are not looking directly into their eyes but from where they are standing it looks like you actually are. Just make sure you are not staring to hard, and are not too up close and personal like the picture we have featured to the left, this may intimidate the person you are conversing with and this defeats the purpose of lowering room for judgement.
At first many people have to force themselves to make eye contact for quite some time before it becomes a habit. However, you will find that once you get into a habit of making good eye contact you will naturally feel more confident in all situations and scenarios.


3. Exercise & Healthy Eating

Exercise-&-Eat-HealthyAppearance is the number one cause for low self-esteem around the world. Improving your physical appearance can do wonders for your confidence. Exercising often is the best way to make yourself both feel better and look better.
Exercise of any kind will release endorphins which are chemicals released by the brain during exercise that enhances that feel good mood and sends a pleasurable feeling through your body. Exercising on a regular basis will improve anyone’s physical appearance and subsequently their self-confidence. You feel good, you smile more. You smile more you feel more confident, there’s a pattern here isn’t there?
Do know, that 70% of weight loss starts with your dieting, so find a diet that works for you and implement an exercise routine that you are happy with. Just make sure it is a routine you enjoy otherwise your fitness regime will be short lived and you will see little to no improvement.

4. Dress Sharp

Dress Sharp - Self ConfidenceHave you ever heard the saying “when you look good, you feel good”? There is a lot of truth to that old saying. When you dress sharp it has a positive physiological effect resulting in improved interactions with other people. You will also feel changes in the way that you carry yourself, which enhances your level of comfort in every day situations.
Dressing sharp is an easy and immediate way to increase your confidence. This has been studied and proven to be very effective in immediately increasing confidence levels.


5. Compliment Others Often

complimentGet in the mindset of thinking positive. This will allow you to see the good in people and compliment them on their strong points. So how is this going to help boost your self-esteem? Well, when you compliment others you are ten times more likely to get a sincere compliment in return. This will reinforce your strong points and push your positive characteristics to the fore front of your self assurance. Go easy on the compliments though, you don’t want to come across as a groupie.


6. Help Those Less Fortunate

While this may seem counter productive to your happiness, helping those less fortunate is one of the most empowering feelings in the world. Those who do community service often have incredibly high self esteems, self confidence, and a great outlook on life.
The empowering feeling of helping others builds self confidence in yourself and helps you to realise that you are abe to make an impact in this world.
Tony Robbins said it best - ”The secret of living is giving.”


7. Face Your Fears & Don’t Fear Failure

This a huge reason for low level of confidence in millions of people. Our fears have incredible control over us and affect the way we feel about ourselves. When we fear something we feel weak which is the same as not feeling confident. In order to overcome this you have to face your fears in life. Do not avoid the things that you are incredibly afraid of. The better way to go about it is to face your fears and get to understand what you fear instead of running from it.
Learn to never fear failure. Everyone in life fails numerous times. A couple of failures will not define your life. The way you respond to these failures is what defines you.
  

8. Carry ‘Confidence’ With You

Increase ConfidenceCarry it with you, just not on your shoulders. Now what I mean by this is you should not look like you are trying to be confident and stressing about how you come across.
There are a number of ways that you can exude confidence physically and here are a handful we have to share with you:


- Speak clearly and with a reasonable volume
- Be conscious of your posture
- Don’t cross your arms as this shows insecurity
- Use your hands to explain things, this helps to draw your crowd a vivid picture of your explanations


9. Fake It, Til You Make It

Fake-It-Til-You-Make-ItWe have all heard this term used before but it is very applicable when it comes to self-confidence.
If you find yourself in a situation where you feel vulnerable and not very confident, this is the time to switch on your fake it to make it mind set. Use the characteristics of confident people and apply them to your immediate situation. Look for a role model in the moment, someone you look at as a confident and charismatic person, whether it be a character, a movie star or someone that you have felt comfortable around before.
These will become habits of your own within time and will definitely pay off.


Cheers!

5 Myths About Being An Entrepreneur


5 Myths About 
Being An

If you’re looking for a feel good post about why you should quit your secure 9 to 5 job and become an entrepreneur, this is not the post for you. Being an entrepreneur is great and I wouldn’t trade it for a desk job, but there are some things aspiring (or existing) entrepreneurs should know.
#1 You’re going to be insanely successful. You are not the next Mark Zuckerberg. Sorry, you’re not and I’m not. If you have the idea that you’re going to sit down and create the next Facebook and be worth billions of dollars in seven to 10 years, it’s not going to happen. Am I saying it’s not good to dream big? No. I’m saying there is only one Facebook and only one Mark Zuckerberg in this world.
#2 Entrepreneurs have a very flexible work schedule. They can work three to four hours a day and have plenty of time to goof off. I know I’m not alone when I say that entrepreneurs don’t have the luxury of ending our workday abruptly at 5pm. When you own your own company or work for someone who does, you have to put in the extra hours and the extra effort to make things happen. If you aren’t ready to work some pretty long days, you probably aren’t cut out for being an entrepreneur.
#3 Entrepreneurs can take off when they want — after all, you’re the boss, right? Remember all those times you used to be able to party on random nights of the week or just take off for a weekend with your friends? Not if you want to keep your business afloat the first year (or two, three, four, etc). Now I’m not saying you won’t ever get time off, but most entrepreneurs live, eat and breathe their businesses and a lot of times partying gets pushed to the wayside. What’s more important: Doing keg stands with college buddies or generating income so you can pay bills the next couple months?
#4 Working from home means you’ll have more time for your relationship, your pets, taking care of your home, etc. Wrong. Because you work from home, it’s like you live in this constant state of never finishing anything. You start cleaning the dishes and then think of a great idea or feature for your company. Instead of taking your significant other out to a nice meal, you ask to get drive thru so you can get back to work quicker. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked over at my dog and it looks like he’s crossing his legs because he needs to go outside (and I love my dog to death!).
#5 Everyone wants to have your job. I’m guessing it’s because people genuinely don’t love their jobs, but they think you have this perfect setup where you get to work and play all day long. I always hear things like “At least you don’t have to deal with a commute” or “I have so many worthless meetings and calls, you’re lucky”. Do you want to trade the last three days I worked 18 hours and had to go above and beyond to appease clients? No, no you don’t.
For all the starving entrepreneurs out there, keep fighting the good fight. We’re all doing things we love and enjoy, and that’s what matters. I may not be building the next Facebook, but I am excited about controlling my own destiny and knowing the harder I work, the more results I see.

Cheers!

Work Smarter, Not Harder

Suppose I am to build an artificial fishpond and I need to employ someone to excavate the field measuring one square hectare with a depth of one meter. I will pay you Php250.000 for the job using your own shovel. If you start digging now, you could probably cover the whole area at the end of the year. I am offering you a large sum because it is my obligation to compensate a laborious job.

Meanwhile, your friend learned of the offer and quickly applied for the same job. He plans to rent a digging machine for Php50,000 and projects to finish the job in just a week. Do you think he has also done Php250,000 worth of service? Who worked smart and who worked hard?

What you have just pondered on is an application of the Law of Leverage. The digging machine represents the lever to have the economy of movement and to give a minimum input that can achieve maximum results. Leverage creates speed and simplicity of work or activity performance.


HOW? The answer is LEVERAGE! Start leveraging yourself today!

21 THINKING PATTERNS


1. HAVE A BIG REASON WHY you want to be successful in network marketing that really matters to you. Let it be the driving force that motivates you daily. Let it be the wood for your internal fire.

2. PICK A FEW PERSONAL GOALS that really motivate.  Goals that you can accomplish by having success in network marketing. Write them down. review them often. Make sure they are YOUR goals & not someone else's. Use your REASON WHY to motivate you to accomplish your goals.  Having a big reason why & goals will drive you thru the obstacles you will encounter. Your GOALS literally force you to become the person you need to be in order to accomplish them.  The BIGGER the goals, the more you will have to go thru to accomplish them.

3. HAVE A WORK HARD MENTALITY.  There is a saying that ONLY time success comes before WORK is in the dictionary. The harder you work, the luckier you will get. Make sure it is intelligent hard work. If something is not working, dont keep doing it over and OVER again. Try something different. Not having success- TRY HARDER, TRY SMARTER.

4. HAVE AN ACTION MINDSET.  One of the biggest mistakes new network marketers make is they think they have to know EVERYTHING about their product or opportunity before they can work the business. That mindset creates inactivity. Once you make a decision to work a network marketing opportunity you should focus 90% of your time on action, 10% on learning. This is an ACTION BUSINESS. Learn the basics, use the tools, use the systems, plug into your upline who is having success and then GO GO GO!.  The only way to REALLY learn network marketing is by doing it not reading about it. This is crucial to your success.

5. DON"T JUST TAKE ACTION. TAKE MASSIVE< FOCUSED ACTION. Throw everything you have at it. Make a full commitment & GO. If you are just working network marketing as a hobby or to create part time income you can be casual about the business and that is OK. But if you want to create MASSIVE INCOME, you must take MASSIVE FOCUSED ACTION.

6. ACTIVITY is what create results. Not positive thinking. Do not wait to be positive before you take action. Discipline yourself to take action daily regardless fo how you feel. Do something daily to build your business. Have a daily ACTION plan of the activities that directly lead to acquiring new customers & distributors. Discipline to do it DAILY. Consistent, Persistent effort is MUCH more important to your success than beinga super hot shot.


7. HAVE A LONG TERM PERSPECTIVE. Stay within your budget on any & all marketing expenses.  Plan for the long term. Dont' take yourself out of the game by being a 90- day wonder.  It takes a while to build up your residual income base, but once  it starts coming in there is nothing in the world like it.

8. YOU MUST REALLY LIKE YOUR PRODUCT & OPPORTUNITY. There is no way you can have success in network marketing if you do not believe in & are excited about your opportunity & product. You don't have to have a wild maniac excitement. Just a solid enthusiasm that comes from really believing in it. A good question to ask yourself before joining ANY networking marketing company is " Would I buy this product at the retail price regardless of the opportunity?" A second question to ask is "Would I refer my mother to this product & or opportunity?" These two questions will save you a LOT of grief from picking the wrong opportunity.

9. YOUR BUSINESS WILL BECOME HOW YOU TREAT IT. And how you think about your business will determine how you will treat it.  If you think your business is P7000k a month business, then that is how you will treat it.  If you think it will make you P 100,000 or P1M a month, then that is how you treat it.  Treat your business the way you would like it to BECOME, and it will become that type of business.

10. DO NOT BE AFRAID OF FAILURE. You will most likely NOT have immediate success. You will make mistakes. You will not know all the answers. Realize success is built on failure. You only find out what works, by what doesnt. Through failure comes success. Learn from your failures, pick yourself and ATTACK your goals. Understand fear of failure is REALLY pride.  Success involves being humble enough to allow yourself to go through failure in order to learn.

11.New Distributors have a tendency to think everyone will buy their products or sign up in their opportunity just because they are excited about it. And when people don't, they are greatly disappointed.Operate from reality. The REALITY is MOST people will not join your opportunity or try your product. That is PERFECTLY NORMAL. It even happens to the TOP network marketers. they just don't let it emotionally affect them.  Accept that right from the beginning & you will save yourself a lot of emotional wear & tear.

12. BE TEACHABLE. You are in school. Everyday you will learn something NEW, if you are DOING the business. You have to be doing this business to learn this business. You can not learn network marketing any other way. When things are not working, check upline until you find someone who is being successful.  Listen to what they have to say. They are having success for a reason.  You will be temporarily uncomfortable doing new things as you develop the skills needed to be a TOP NETWORK MARKETER. Go through that process willingly & you will have success much faster.

13. KEEP YOUR PIPELINE ( lots of prospects going through different stages of being introduced to your business ) filled at ALL TIMES. The key is to be always be moving so fast you don't have time to dwell about failure or rejection because you are totally focused on some positive activity that is building your business. When you let your pipeline of prospects or customers run low, you operate from a position of lack. When you have a full pipeline, you operate from a position of abundance. With that comes confidence & when someone is not interested it does not affect you. If you only have one prospect in your pipeline, & they drop out, you are in trouble.

14. Ask yourself, "WHAT ONE THING CAN I DO TODAY TO MASSIVELY BUILD MY NETWORK MARKETING BUSINESS?"  Then do it.

15. The phone is is your BEST FRIEND. Master the phone & make a fortune. Be afraid of the phone & you will never make any significant money in network marketing.  Use the phone to follow up personally with all your leads & customers. Be yourself, be friendly, be enthusiastic, keep a smile on your face when you are talking. 3-way call your hot prospects to your upline.

16. HAVE A PROSPECTING MINDSET. Continually think about unique, creative new ways to acquire customers & distributors. And then do it. Thinking & action need to go hand in hand.

17. NETWORK MAR KETING IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. Don't try to talk people into the business or you will have to talk them into working the business. You can't build someone else's business for them. Your best comes from YOUR success story. Some people do not want to have what it takes to do to build a network marketing business.  Identify this quickly & move on. You are looking for people who WANT to do the business & are willing to do what it takes. Simple as that. YOU ARE A SORTER, NOT A SELLER.

18. START WHERE YOU ARE AT RIGHT NOW. You can't change your financial situation by dwelling on it or complaining about it. The only thing that is going to change your situation is you. Even if you are flat broke, you can become financially successful in network marketing. Just realize it will take you longer. You will have to use creative & sweat equity. But you can do it, if you NEVER QUIT. Opportunity ALWAYS comes disguised as work.

19. BE HONEST & AVOID ALL OPPORTUNITIES BASED ON GREED.

20. Look to GOD for help.

21. AS you have success & become a TOP network marketer, realize that you are not the ONLY person responsible for your success...BE GRATEFUL.

10 Words that can change your life


Words that i have learned earlier in my career and in a way i have appreciated more than before. Transitioning to a more relationship oriented and friendly culture is a phase that i think everybody goes through specially when you have been situated as the "Boss". 

Let me share words that are so simple that we tend to overlook and misunderstood.

BEGIN
Take charge of your life by beginning something
you’ve always wanted to do. 
If your goal seems overwhelming, start small.
“By daring to begin the life you’ve always wanted,
you become energized.”

BELIEVE
Set your mind to predict success.
Tell yourself you will succeed at whatever you’re doing at the moment. 

TRUST
You can’t grow if you don’t trust your inner voice. Trust others around you as well!!

IMAGINE
Your imagination has no boundaries...
“Dreaming about something is the first step 
towards achieving it. “ 

CONNECT
Relationships are what pull us through the hard times, and make the good times meaningful. 
Take time to nurture the connections that uplift you.

TOUCH
Humans need touch to survive and thrive. 
Don’t forget to hug your love ones. 
Pat your friends on the back
literally and figuratively.

FORGIVE
Forgiveness is life giving because it puts you in charge. 
You become empowered.

LAUGH
Laughter is a direct route to the soul.
It broadens your perspective, keeps you healthyand
makes an unbearable situation easier to deal with.”

GIVE
Happiness involves giving freely to others. 

APPRECIATE
Admire the good in yourself
and in those around you.

What my life was

I thought long and hard about my first post upon completion of "TheSeekersWill", and it would be best if i start my journey where i was prior to getting the guts and making decisions from a 15hour cubicle life to a real life. So what will do is excerpt both my experiences and what MLM is about from the basics up. 

Its been almost 8 year that i have worked in the BPO industry starting from the basic entry level of CSA climbing the ladder to supervisor, quality, training and then finally to a manager level with even  offers to go higher. It was an accomplishment that i can be proud of being an achiever and dreamer (but sadly it’s just a title at the end of the day) though my dreams never really concerned the BPO back then. I am and will always be a flyer by heart, a licensed pilot and free spirit. Like most colleagues and people who attempted the BPO, i can say that little percentage actually dream t of working there in the first place, like most people, unforeseen circumstances drove us to a decision and the lure of a higher income rather than the traditional "Day job". Think of BPO's as being a watering hole where a huge and diverse animals come and gather for their own reasons (...hmm not really..haha damn animal planet reruns scrap that )

Don't get me wrong, it paid higher and i was happy with the experiences that thought me so much. The work was a good starting ground for most people while building their career. I remember those days, in Peoplesupport (it was'nt Aegis back then and from what i heard it was better back then), HR would hire amass of new graduates from different courses to fill in the seats and demands of the clients. I always asked this people how they got to know, the BPO and like me they would all answer the same thing "a friend endorsed me", "a friend sponsored me in", " i heard..", " a friend shared to me a good earning potential while", it all sounded the same. Even to the point were people are now saying "dude, i heard its better in ", " my friend can sponsor us at ... they pay better". It was learning experience for me being a "fresh blood" may it be bad or good.

Sorry to stop short but i just heard my eldest daughter yell “Daddy! Eat pancake!" But as my last paragraph shows people really thrive in building networks or relationships. We even use that “networks or relationships" to advertise and promote even without knowing that we have been doing it subconsciously all this year. It’s amazing really, looking back and how things connect haha 

So lets connect again later, cheers!
