7 COMMON SENSE MLM BUSINESS TIPS
by: Judy Thompson
Copyright 2005 Judy Thompson
So you have decided to join a network marketing company with the goal of building a successful home business! How do you know if you have what it takes to succeed? Do you even know what it takes to succeed?
As a long-term owner of a store-front business, and as an experienced network marketer, I would like to make some comparisons of a conventional store-front type of business, to a home-based network marketing business.
If you were planning to purchase a conventional business of some kind, perhaps, an appliance business or a shoe store, you would be asking some specific questions before investing your hard-earned money. You would want to consider the following:
v Does it have stability, or is it a risky new start-up venture?
v How hard will it be to acquire customers for my product or service?
v How long will it take to break even and then make a profit?
v How much time do I have to devote to this business?
v Is there a mentor nearby who will teach me the business?
v Am I willing to stick with this even though there may be a number of obstacles to overcome & not everything goes right all the time?
Your list of questions could go on and on.
Now let’s turn to another scenario. Instead of purchasing a conventional business, you find many “opportunities” on the internet. Network marketing, of course, has the great benefit of enabling you to build a residual income from the comfort of your own home at a much lower start-up cost. However, there is much “hype” on the internet, countless websites really look great, and they make success sound so easy, that it can be deceiving to the average person..
So when the person joins a good company and doesn’t make big bucks in a few weeks, it is easy for him to think that the fault is with the company. Meanwhile, he’s received 14 other great offers that make it sound easier than what he just joined. He quits before even getting started and joins another company. Usually the second opportunity doesn’t work either, and he goes to number three, number four, etc. Generally the new start-up opportunities will not last long, will fail, and may even just disappear. Unfortunately, at this point a person may have spent a lot of time and money just chasing rabbits.
How can this merry-go-round of failures be avoided? Here are 7 common sense MLM business tips that I believe will help you avoid this cycle of failures:
1. Find out how stable the company is. Is it a new start-up venture? If so chances are it will not be around for the long haul. Remember, you only have a future if your company has a future!
2. How much time will you be able to personally devote to this business? With network marketing, not only does it take some time to recruit people into your business, but you also have a responsibility to communicate with and try to help the people who have joined you.
3. Can you believe in the products? If you truly believe in your company’s product line, people will see your enthusiasm and be more likely to join you.
4. Are you willing to make a commitment to just the one company for at least 6 months? Most successful network marketers say you should stick with it and work it hard for at least a year. Very few marketers can do justice to promoting more than one or two network marketing companies at the same time. If you spread yourself too thin, you are less likely to succeed with any of them.
5. Is it the kind of business that you could be happy telling your friends about? For example, even though my primary way of marketing is on the internet, my company has some products that have helped me so much, I just naturally want to share their benefits with my friends.
6. Is there a system in place to help you build your business? Most good companies these days do provide their distributors with workable business tools to help them market their business both locally, and on the internet.
7. If your company provides you with a good website, how will you get people to take a look at your website? Having a support system that actually will bring people to your website for you can be the difference in success or failure for many of us.
If you are a person who wants to build either a part-time or full-time residual income from the comfort of your own home, I hope you will realize that it is better to find a good company and stick with it, than to jump from opportunity to opportunity looking for that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Don’t be an “MLM Junkie!” Work it like a business and you will certainly increase your odds for success!

Successful Marketing Online
Faye Brown
When you operate a business online, you likely understand the importance of successful marketing online. Internet marketing success can lead to a great deal of money for you. Whether you have a home based business or a larger business, online marketing is a great idea to raise your level of success in an easy way.
One of the best ways you can choose to market online is through affiliate programs. This is the easiest thing to do, if you have very little time to devote to the issue of online marketing. You can join many affiliate programs for free, which makes the whole thing even more appealing to consider. You can often do a simple search for “affiliate programs” and come up with many different choices. Remember that some of the affiliate programs have strict rules regarding member conduct, so be sure to go over them before committing to join. Often times they will only allow a few ads on each page and such. This can be a problem if you belong to more than one.
The best thing to do is stick with one or two affiliate programs at a time. Give them a real chance to work well and then re-evaluate what you want to do. If you are making money with the affiliate programs you choose, then you should leave your internet marketing plan alone. However, if you aren’t making money, you might want to change it up a bit.
Overall, successful marketing online takes time and dedication. You really will have to tweak and re-arrange in order to find out what works best for you and your online business.

Confessions of an Article Marketer
Confessions of an Article Marketer
I have a slight confession to make…
I am highly addicted to article marketing. You can try and
entice me with a number of other internet marketing
strategies, but article marketing will always be my
favorite.
You probably know about the many benefits of article
marketing. Syndicating your articles will increase your
targeted traffic, turn you into an expert in the field of
your choice, brand your name, and help build your opt-in
list. However, article marketing boasts a number of other
benefits left mostly undiscovered and I want to share them
with you.
Get Your Article and Your Photo Into Google News
Want to get your article and even your picture into Google
News? Well, your entrance stands only a few clicks away.
The key is getting published on a website that is syndicated
on Google News. American Chronicle is one of those web sites.
First, click over to www.americanchronicle.com, scroll down
to the very bottom of the page and click on the link that
says “submit work”. From there you can sign up to be a
contributor.
If accepted as a contributor, you will then be able to submit
articles along with your picture. Most of their articles are
syndicated on Google News and will be available to the millions
of searchers who go to Google News each and every day.
I have been published in Google News multiple times using this
technique and am still amazed at how easy it is.
Using Blogs and RSS to Auto-Syndicate Your Articles
Blogs are a very powerful tool for marketing your online
business. When they first appeared on the scene, blogs were
thought of as nothing more than just a tool for people to
express their rants, feelings, and personal interests.
However, they quickly blossomed into a tool that can be used
for marketing, branding, selling, and promotion.
Good blog software automatically produces an rss feed. With
an rss feed, you can instantly allow people to tune in and
subscribe to your content. In addition, a webmaster could
simply take that link and use it on their own website to
publish your latest article headlines. Each article headline
would contain a link back to your blog to allow people to read
the entire article.
Simply by allowing publishers to feed your content to their
website visitors, you can reach a new audience that otherwise
would never find you.
If you really want to kick this technique into overdrive, you
could even exchange your rss feeds with other webmasters. You
both receive quality content that you can share with your
visitors as well as 5 or so incoming links to your site.
Exclusive Reports and Articles
By writing exclusive reports and articles, you can get
incoming links to your site from VERY high-traffic private
membership sites or even on free content sites that seek
original content rather than rehashed information. The trick
here is that you are offering the webmaster an exclusive
article that will only be published on THEIR site. You will
not be able to publish your article anywhere else or even on
your own site. However, I think you will find it well worth
your while. This method holds the power to get you in front
of some very large, captive audiences.
Using this technique puts a unique twist on your marketing
approach. To make this work you must find highly targeted,
high-traffic sites to write for. If you begin to offer them
exclusive, quality content, they may very well want you to
become a regular contributor to their publication. This
would mean lots of targeted traffic for you. So, don’t take
this advanced tactic for granted.
Turn a Series of Articles into a Podcast
This is one of my favorite methods for recycling my article
content. You simply turn your articles into a podcast. If
you know anything about podcasting, then you know that it’s
big and it’s growing. The last time I checked, podcasts
boasted a listener base of well over 20 million listeners.
You should be getting a piece of this traffic and with the
methods I’m about to teach you, I know that you will.
All you need to do is take 4-5 of your articles that are
related to the same topic and turn them into an audio
recording. Now, we will not be going into the technical a
spects of podcasting, but if you want to get started
quickly, I suggest you head on over to
www.podcastautocue.com. They provide some free podcast
software of great quality.
Once you create your recording, you automatically have your
very own podcast ready to load up to a variety of podcast
directories, including Yahoo, iTunes, Odeo, and iPodder.org.
Each one of these directories can create additional traffic
streams to your website. So, what are you waiting for? Get
recording and start receiving some extra web site promotion!
Promote Your Articles on Squidoo
Squidoo is one of the largest growing websites on the
internet. So, why not take advantage. Squidoo developed an
online platform that makes it easy for anyone to build
lenses on topics that they are passionate about. You can even
inject your own style and personality into your lens, making
them a great tool for branding.
So, whenever you write an article, go ahead and post it to
your squidoo lens. Better yet, just post your rss feed onto
your lens. Don’t worry about the technical side, Squidoo
provides plenty of tutorials that explain everything in detail.
So, start creating your own lenses and get some free exposure.
However, if you decide to create a Squidoo lens, make sure that
you create a lens of excellent quality. You don’t want any of
your marketing efforts to send a negative message. Just like
your articles, your squidoo lens must provide your readers with
quality information.
Provide Your Articles to Your Affiliates
If you want to boost your affiliate program, you must provide
your affiliates with all the right tools. Make it extremely
simple for them to promote your website and they are much more
likely to do so.
Articles are one of the best resources you can provide them.
Encourage your affiliates to post your articles on their website
or in their ezine. You do this by sending them the article
preformatted, with their affiliate link already inserted in
the resource box. Their only job is to copy, paste, and promote.
You now know some advanced article marketing strategies that will
help take your promotional efforts to the next level. I urge you
to take action on these powerful, yet simple, ideas.
There is nothing more motivating than seeing the results of our
marketing efforts, and with article marketing, they can be quite
fruitful.

Making Money Online IS Possible... Here's HOW
Are you trying to make money online but just can't seem to get
the income you want? There are thousands upon thousands of
aspiring online business entrepreneurs who are in the same
boat as you right now. You are not alone! However, in this
article, I am going to give you some tips on how to actually
make money online and eventually bring in a very nice income.
Before we get started let's talk a little about who I
am and why it's even worth your time to listen to me. Am I
rich? No. My bank account would be laughable compared to Bill
Gates or Donald Trump, but compared to the average person
trying to make money online from a home business you could say
I am doing quite well.
I started my online business
about three and a half years ago and slowly but surely
increased my income to the point of financial independence. I
now make a very good full time income online and only work a
few hours per week. It wasn't easy... far from it! But it was
worth it. I don't consider myself to be some money making
guru. But I have been making money online, and teaching people
to do the same, long enough to know what I am talking about.
So how can you make a living from home? Here are the
steps necessary to make money online and eventually bring in
a very good income...
1) Define Your "Why" - Really the
first, and most important, step to becoming rich is not "how"
to do it but "why" to do it. Without your why, your how will
be nearly impossible. Once you have found your why, it is much
easier to find your how to become rich. You must look deep
inside yourself to find out why you want to become rich. Once
you have found it write it down and keep it in a place where
you will see it everyday. After you find your why you can
search for your how. Remember, there is no easy road to riches.
If there was then everyone would be rich.
2)
Write Your Plan - When you are getting started you will need a
plan. What exactly do you want to accomplish? How long will it
take to do it? What steps do you need to take to ensure it
happens? How many hours are you going to put in each day? How
much money can you afford to spend on marketing? Etc... Think
about these questions and write down the answers. Make your
plan realistic and stick with it as closely as possible. It can
be modified along the way as things change but you should
always have a realistic plan to follow.
3) Find Your
"How" - Now it's time to start searching for how you will make
money online. There are many different ways to make money
online. A few of the most popular ones are: business
opportunities, affiliate marketing, network marketing, niche
marketing, creating your own e-book, or doing an actual online
job. Most of these actually go hand-in-hand so you will usually
be doing more than one at a time. They are usually lumped under
one umbrella called internet marketing.
My suggestion is
to start out with an actual paying online job as well as at
least one of the others. Doing this will allow you to bring in
an online income while getting started in something that you
will eventually make a lot more money doing. For instance, you
could work a couple hours per day in an online job while
spending the rest of your spare time learning how to market
affiliate programs.
I actually know of a great program
where that is exactly what you do. You make money working
online jobs while also getting into affiliate marketing and a
business opportunity and learning to market on the internet.
You can find it here: http://honest-income-program.com
4)
Get Educated - Walking blindly into an online business without
having some basic education is suicide! You need to know the
basics of online marketing and promoting. You can get this
education for free all over the place on the internet. A great
place to start is internet marketing forums and articles.
You also need to know programs to definitely stay away from
before you make the mistake of jumping into some overhyped
dishonest opportunity or even an all out scam. A good way to
be sure you don't get sucked into one of these is to stay away
from anything that promises ridiculously large amounts of money
in a short period of time. Or any opportunity that says you will
make a lot of money without doing any, or very little, work.
It's just not true!
To help you out a little here are a few things I can tell you
right now to avoid - paid to read emails, randomizers, doublers,
paid to surf, HYIP, the oprah paypal letter, etc... of course
there are more things to stay away from but I can't go into
detail in this article due to length. I will tell you that the
Honest Income Program mentioned above gives you a lot more
programs to avoid and tells why you should avoid them.
5)
Get Started - Now it's time for you to get started making money
in your new business. It is critical in this step to be focused.
Don't go jumping around to every opportunity you see just
because it promises riches. Stick with what you started and put
your full effort into it. It is also critical that you do not
expect too much too fast. It is going to take time to start
making money online and it is going to take even longer to start
making a significant amount of income.
While you are
getting started you will be learning a LOT. In fact, you will
probably feel like you are on information overload and feel
overwhelmed by everything there is to learn. Don't worry it
will all come together. Just take things one step at a time in
an organized manner. The learning is something that never stops.
You will constantly be learning new things in online business
but the beginning is probably the most crucial and the toughest.
The most important part of this step is to TAKE ACTION!
Yes, there is a lot to learn and a lot to do but the only way to
get anywhere is to do something with it. Making money online is
largely about taking action. The more you sit back and wait for
the "right time" the less you are actually out there making money.
6)
Work Hard and NEVER Quit - This is probably the best advice
that was ever given to me and I consider it the most important
tip I can pass on to anyone trying to make money online. No matter
what anyone tells you making money online is hard work. You have
to put in a lot of time and effort before you reap the rewards of
it. You will fail at times, that is certain! However, you will
also succeed if you get up from those failures and keep going!
That's it. Those are the six basic steps to making money online
and eventually bringing in a great full-time income. Of course,
this article is a simplified version of what it truly takes.
There is more detail to making money online that cannot be
fully explained in one article but the above is basically all
you need to do. It will not be easy but it can certainly be
done. There are thousands upon thousands of people making money
online right now. Many of them are very rich because of it.
Follow the above steps and you can be making a full time income
on the internet soon enough.

aspiring online business entrepreneurs who are in the same
boat as you right now. You are not alone! However, in this
article, I am going to give you some tips on how to actually
make money online and eventually bring in a very nice income.
Before we get started let's talk a little about who I
am and why it's even worth your time to listen to me. Am I
rich? No. My bank account would be laughable compared to Bill
Gates or Donald Trump, but compared to the average person
trying to make money online from a home business you could say
I am doing quite well.
I started my online business
about three and a half years ago and slowly but surely
increased my income to the point of financial independence. I
now make a very good full time income online and only work a
few hours per week. It wasn't easy... far from it! But it was
worth it. I don't consider myself to be some money making
guru. But I have been making money online, and teaching people
to do the same, long enough to know what I am talking about.
So how can you make a living from home? Here are the
steps necessary to make money online and eventually bring in
a very good income...

The Secret of Starting a Home-Based Business
Taweewat Puvorawong
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taweewat has made some wonderful comments in the above article. You should do your homework before jumping into the online world. While some of the business on the internet are not legitimate, the majority are, but that dose not mean you are going to make money. Look for a business with a full marketing system, that they are willing to share for free. Make sure they have the knowledge to get you to where you want to end up.
Always willing to Pay It Forward
Are you looking for a Home-Based Business?
The number of home-based business opportunities is rapidly growing. In fact, over 50% of small business owners are now working from home. Anyone with a desire or urge to start a home-based business can venture into this field, just by using the Internet. All you need to get started is a computer and an internet connection. Many things can be progressed with just a click of your mouse. The beauty of an Internet home-based business is that anyone can do it no matter what their age, sex, race or religion is.
Unfortunately, nowadays, there is a lot of Home-Based business hype and many "Get Rich Quick" schemes posted on the internet. There are many people who will try to lure you into programs which may ultimately result in you throwing your money away for being a member. You should always take precautions, and ponder each opportunity very carefully, so you dont fall into this trap.
However, there are still many legitimate home business opportunities that can start you on your way to both financial freedom and independence. Just ensure that you research each opportunity thoroughly and choose one that fits your own particular style or talents. An opportunity that is a good choice for one person may be a very poor fit for someone else. The common thread that applies to everyone is that you must be "for real" and the business opportunity itself must be "for real. You need to be realistic in your expectations. It might take a year or even up to three years before you begin to make a significant profit from your business. Dont expect miraculous wealth that will take you up to the sky instantly! In addition, people who want to start a home-based business, but dont want to spend any time on it (set-and-forget) until after they start earning some money being unrealistic and are likely to fail. So make sure that you have practical expectations when starting a home-based business.
There are a wide range of business opportunities to look for, including Internet businesses, retail sales, import/export, and even stuffing envelopes. Some are legitimate businesses, and some are not. Make sure you know everything about the company and get adequate important information so you understand completely any risks you may be taking, how long before you can reasonably earn serious money, and what amount of work or effort is required to make that done as to your goal.
There are numerous reasons why people choose to start a home-based business. They may be dissatisfied with their present employment situation, unemployed, need to be at home more with young children or aging parents or they may just have a yearning to be their own boss.
It is a good idea to write a business plan as it may be your roadmap to reaching your objectives. There are numerous articles on the Internet that can assist you in creating your business plan as well as pointing to other issues related to starting and operating home-based business.
Finally, it is very crucial that whatever you decide to do, you will need to stick with it for a reasonable length of time (give it at least one year) and put in a solid and sustained effort. In the early stage, it is really important to resist the temptation of additional business opportunities out there which are always knocking on your door and waiting for you to open it. Stay focused on a single business and dont get discouraged. As much as you would like it to be, starting and developing a real home based business is certainly not an instant gratification situation.
Always be precautious, and contemplate each home-based business opportunity wisely before getting started. This will certainly make a difference to becoming a successful Internet home-based business entrepreneur.

6 Reasons To Go Home Based Over Traditional Business.
6 Reasons To Go Home Based Over Traditional Business.
(c)Copyright 2006 by Faye Brown
How many times have you thought about starting your own business? Have you ever pictured yourself with a successful business?
Comparison between home based and traditional business. Each business has costs involved with starting and maintaining. Which type of business is right for you?
1) Home business can have all of the success of traditional business at a fraction of the cost.
Both types of business have costs involved, the traditional business tends to have more. For starters, the traditional has an overhead that really cuts into your profits. You have rent, lease, or mortgage, loan payments furnishing,
equipment, landscaping, utilities and so forth.
Home based cuts down on most of these costs. The main thing you need is your office equipment, computer, printer fax, desk, chair and phone. the rest you are already paying.
2) You have to have an advertising budget for both. How much depend on the position you are in.
Advertising costs to launch a traditional business could be huge depending or what your market is. You need to get the word out that you are open for business.
In home based we still need to advertise and need a budget for this, but in can be what you can afford. Of course the more you advertise, the more your business is seen, the faster you have success.
3) Licenses can be needed to be in either business. Governments around the world have guidelines to follow of what licenses you need to have to be in business.
In a traditional business, depending what your business does could require you to have multiple licenses.
Home based tends to need less, maybe a business license or a specialty license. These fees are normally yearly.
4) There is great tax saving benefits to both businesses. Most government’s give you deductions for many things.
Both business types give you great tax saving methods and are about the same. Home based you get to deduct a portion or all of what you already pay for. This could turn out to be thousands that stays in your pocket and not the governments.
5) You know that any business needs supplies, but not as much needed for home based.
Many of the supplies needed in a home-based business are already in your current budget, or you already own. These include cleaning supplies, mop, bucket, vacuum, cleaners ect.
A traditional business has to invest in these things at the start. Of course there are other supplies that both types of business need on a monthly basis. Paper and ink being the most common for home based.
6) Time freedom and management is one of the reasons we all would like to have a business, but what really is the reality?
In a traditional business starting out the owner usually works very hard and is required to work many hours, to get the business off the ground. It could be many years before you could have time off.
In the Home Based industry most people start out part time, and gradually work into full time when they are having enough success. Instead of watching 3 hour of TV a night they turn this time into creating their future. It is easier to schedule time for
Special events in your life. Again the more you do the faster your success.
I have and continue to do both types of business. In my experience both can be, successful, challenging, and self-rewarding. Dollar for dollar you should look at the home based business industry, find one with a good support team, marketing system and good products and start your way to creating your future.

Legal Problems The Newbie Should Know About
I would like to Thank Wycliffe Williams for writing such an informative article.
Faye Brown
Legal Problems The Newbie Should Know About
Wycliffe Williams
Legal problems can easily sink your internet business before you even begin to swim. Legal requirements abound in the internet arena. It’s your responsibility to get yourself up to speed on these requirements. Ignorance of the law is not acceptable.
Links to your Contact Information and All About Us Information should be on all of your webpages. Your main legal information is your Copyright, Terms of Service, Disclaimer, and Privacy Policy and they should be included as well.
Copyright
Make sure the word copyright and the copyright symbol are at the bottom of your webpages. If you are selling anything, include the words All Rights Reserved. If your product is available worldwide, include that term also.
Terms Of Service
An age statement is strongly advised. In the US, the minimum age is 13 years old, 18 in most other countries. To safeguard yourself, use 18 years old as the required age for your site. Also include the terms for using your site.
Cyberspace has its boundaries. There are rules and regulations that govern advertising. They are called the Dot Com Disclosures. They can be found here: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/dotcom/index.html
Disclaimer
The internet is riddled with viruses, spyware, Trojan horses, and all those other attackers of your computer. Tell visitors to take precautions. Are you giving advice?
Always let your visitors know they should see a relevant professional before using your advice. Also, due to the fast changing nature of the internet, information goes out of date. You cannot be held liable for that, so let your visitors know.
If you sell a product your visitors expect to help them make money, never say the amount they should make. Your legal problems will multiply if you do. You really don’t know.
So many variables go into others being as successful as you. The visitor may not have the internet savvy that you have, or the motivation. You can’t guarantee results. Here is where you state all of that information.
Privacy Policy
Should you capture a visitor’s private information, include your policy for doing so. Tell your visitor what you intend to do with the information. If you intend to share the captured information, you must say so.
I’ll just add this about spamming. This is a small area in the Can Spam Act that receives much abuse. It states, “The Act also prohibits false or misleading subject headings in commercial email messages.”

Legal Problems The Newbie Should Know About
Wycliffe Williams
Legal problems can easily sink your internet business before you even begin to swim. Legal requirements abound in the internet arena. It’s your responsibility to get yourself up to speed on these requirements. Ignorance of the law is not acceptable.
Links to your Contact Information and All About Us Information should be on all of your webpages. Your main legal information is your Copyright, Terms of Service, Disclaimer, and Privacy Policy and they should be included as well.
Copyright
Make sure the word copyright and the copyright symbol are at the bottom of your webpages. If you are selling anything, include the words All Rights Reserved. If your product is available worldwide, include that term also.
Terms Of Service
An age statement is strongly advised. In the US, the minimum age is 13 years old, 18 in most other countries. To safeguard yourself, use 18 years old as the required age for your site. Also include the terms for using your site.
Cyberspace has its boundaries. There are rules and regulations that govern advertising. They are called the Dot Com Disclosures. They can be found here: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/dotcom/index.html
Disclaimer
The internet is riddled with viruses, spyware, Trojan horses, and all those other attackers of your computer. Tell visitors to take precautions. Are you giving advice?
Always let your visitors know they should see a relevant professional before using your advice. Also, due to the fast changing nature of the internet, information goes out of date. You cannot be held liable for that, so let your visitors know.
If you sell a product your visitors expect to help them make money, never say the amount they should make. Your legal problems will multiply if you do. You really don’t know.
So many variables go into others being as successful as you. The visitor may not have the internet savvy that you have, or the motivation. You can’t guarantee results. Here is where you state all of that information.
Privacy Policy
Should you capture a visitor’s private information, include your policy for doing so. Tell your visitor what you intend to do with the information. If you intend to share the captured information, you must say so.
I’ll just add this about spamming. This is a small area in the Can Spam Act that receives much abuse. It states, “The Act also prohibits false or misleading subject headings in commercial email messages.”
Don’t send any grand promises of fame and fortune in your email subject line. This is generally done to encourage people to open your email.

Are You Doors Opened Or Closed?
Faye Brown
When I read the following Quote today I said to myelf "so true". It fits all aspects of life, from your family life to you home business success.
QUOTE
The truth is that every time a door closes behind us, the rest of the world opens up in front of us. All we need to do is stop pounding on the door that is now closed, turn around, and see the largeness of life that now lies open to our soul.
Parker J. Palm
It just does not matter what is behind you. Your life before today, has been a learning experience. Stop looking at past, because it closes your eyes to the future.
You'll never know what good things are staring you right in you face. Everyday new doors open, Are you shutting them or are your arms open wide ready for the journey?

I am motivated to help you become successful, If you really want to become successful. I'll Pay It Forward
