Part of my mission statement in life is to be a mentor to people who really want to learn. I hope my articles will provide you with many tools and strategies to make your online career a huge success.

Network Marketing and MLM is a tough game. You really need to know why you are doing it if you expect to succeed. We get paid on replacement value in life...the easier we are to replace, the less we will get paid for our efforts. A really top MLM achiever is really difficult to find and replace and so the income at the top is exceptional.

If you want to have success in this industry then you must understand the absolute necessity of having a clear and concise goal firmly fixed in your mind.

Yeah, yeah, yeah...I know...you've heard all of this before but I just can't stress enough how critical this is.

If you are already a huge success then you probably aren't reading this. But if you're just starting out, it's important for you to know that there is a lot of competition out there trying to do just exactly what you are doing. How are you going to rise above the crowd and be successful if you don't know exactly why you're doing the work?

I have to tell you that I've been in the sales and marketing field a lot of years and the times I have had big success were the times when I knew exactly what I wanted and why I wanted it.

You see with this fixed in your mind an amazing thing begins to happen. You begin to focus on the end result and not the immediate task in hand. Obstacles along the way become simple stepping stones along the path to success. A plan of action miraculously appears and your whole attitude changes. You become immersed in the achievement of your goal.

Now I'm willing to bet that you've heard all this before, you've probably tried it, and for many of you it was a dud. You felt like you were shooting blanks. You eventually became dispirited and gave up.

Am I right?

Not to worry. Once you have a goal in your heart that has become a burning desire, everything will change for you.

You will be unstoppable and your great success will begin to emerge.

What is your true vision in life? This is the place we are told, where we must start our search for a goal that will inspire us and fill us with fire and ambition. But you know what...I have a vision that I will eventually find my true vision in life. I keep changing my mind depending on the day and what has just happened.

I have found it to be like the search for the Holy Grail...a lofty ideal that more often than not gets in the way of making a plan and getting to work. I become so focused on finding my "ultimate vision" that I don't go to work on the first step. Instead, I have come to realize that finding a goal I can get in the trenches with is much more likely to get me into motion.

What sort of goal might that be?

Well let's look at this! If you had a reliable extra income of say $2000 per month (or $500 or whatever works for you) coming in that you could create part time with an acceptable amount of effort...how would that change your life? Would you be able to retire, buy that new car, get your first home etc?

That's what I mean by a goal I can get in the trenches with!

It's real, it's earthy, you can feel it, you can believe it's possible...and you can find a way to make it happen if it truly is meaningful for you.

Sure the "vision" will lead you on to lofty ideals and bigger things. Your "Vision" will take you to the top. But it's the closer to home, "help me out today" goals that will really get you into action.

Keep on winning
