FREE Productivity Tool

I got this FREE productivity tip from Philip Humbert and
thought it was definitely worth passing along.

Check it out below.

From Philip:
If you will try this process for 21 days I think you'll be
amazed! Craig Gibson taught me this little tool back in
1981 and I've used it ever since.

If you will use it for even seven days, experiment and modify
it to work for you, I think you'll use it for the rest of your
life. It has been worth a fortune to me and while I (sadly)
acknowledge that many people I've shared this with have not
used it (they think it's too simple or "old fashioned" or
they are "too busy"), those who try it have sent me wonderful
emails of gratitude over the years. I think you'll find it
invaluable. Enjoy it!

While the tool is free, I do ask one favor. Please share it
with your friends! Encourage them to try the system and check
it out for themselves.

All I ask is that you have your friends and colleagues visit
my site and get the model directly from me. I think that's fair,
don't you?

It's free and anyone can access it, but I ask that they visit
my website and get it for themselves. Please send your colleagues
to: http://philiphumber t.com/Time. htm

Thanks and best wishes to you!

Phil

Being Like a Rubber Band

I found this on a message board and was so inspired by it. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!


Being like a Rubber Band:
Ellie Drake


Being stretched can turn out to be very positive.

Imagine a rubber band. You hold one end of the band in one hand while stretching the opposite end of with your other hand. The more you stretch it, the more the rubber band wants us to let go it so it can come back to it's original position. In just wants to return to its place of comfort.

Yet if we continue stretching it, that rubber band will eventually grow into a new size. When we let go of it now, it will come back some, but not the entire distance. In essence, it has developed a new dimension.

Now imagine that you dip this original rubber band into hot wax, then quickly remove it. You then allow the wax to dry. At this point, if you repeat the stretching exercise you'll notice that as you extend the rubber band the wax caked around it cracks and crumbles, then falls off.

The same dynamic occurs with humans. We don't want to get stretched, because it will involve letting go of some external layers. We are comfortable within those layers, and they may even seem to be protecting us. Yet, in fact, they are getting in the way of the new, evolving being who we already are on the inside. They are an impediment to our growth.

Also like that rubber band, we must temporarily experience being uncomfortable when we stretch and grow. In the process of becoming the butterfly we were metaphorically meant to be, we are outgrowing a cocoon. The butterfly doesn't snip off its wings and re-enter the cocoon. It knows of no such thing. But we, as human beings, have a tendency to snip our own new-grown wings so we can retreat to the cocoon that represents our old zone of comfort. Unfortunately, the zone of comfort is seldom the territory of fulfillment. The butterfly has no choice. The human has an ability to make such choice.

The next time you are feeling stretched and uncomfortable, pat yourself on the back and say "Good for me. I must be growing!" In fact, if you are not stretching, growing, and evolving, then you are probably too attached to being comfortable.

The home based business industry brings us opportunities to grow and stretch consistently. Every day look at your challenges as opportunities. The question you may be asking is "How can I do that?"

The real question to ask is not "Can I?", It's "Will I?"

How "willing" are you? or better yet "What are the reasons why you may want to allow willingness into your life and therefore your business?"

The Optimist Creed

Promise Yourself

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature you meet.

To give so much time to improving yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud word, but in great deeds.

To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side, so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

Shoot to WIN!

Growing up we had an old wooden ball goal in our back yard. We played so much the grass was gone and in its place was hard packed dirt. I have four sisters and basketball was a big part of who we all were. We learned many lessons in that backyard with that ole ball goal.

My mother played in high school and her team went to state and WON! My sisters and I have all played at some point in time in our lives. Presently, my youngest son is playing. As I chauffeur him to practice and cheer him on at games, it takes me back to my days of being in the back yard learning to play and being out on the court.

My coach used to tell us we could win a game with free throws that is if we made the goal. Which was easier said than done sometimes (especially if you didn’t practice). It’s the same with business, we have an opportunity to make a difference in our lives but how are we going to win. I will tell you, we will win by practice and lots of it.

I remember being in that back yard learning to shoot that ball and as much as I hate to admit it, I would do granny shots. But with the help of my older sister and many, many hours of practice I learned how to shoot the basketball properly and better yet I managed to get good enough to rip that net. Swoosh!

We all have to start somewhere, and if it means doing granny shots to get started then do what you must do. Business is no different. You are not going to be a success overnight. It often takes many years to build up a successful organization, but what are you doing to insure that you win?

Are you reading and learning about your business? Are you practicing on your phone skills? Or how about trying to improve your self? We all know network marketing is a journey about self-development. Are you aiming to win? Or have you become complacent in your business?

To be successful and be on top you have to push yourself beyond your comfort zone. Often times if is very uncomfortable and at those times if you don’t push through you will not grow.

Today, I want you to get on that free throw line. Get ready….Aim for your Goals….and Shoot to WIN!
