Good stuff!

The Secret To Working From Homeby Shane Krider

Many times in life we find success is easily within our grasp but other times we seem to struggle. Why is it success comes so easily at times but other times, no matter how hard we work or try to succeed, it always seems to be just out of our reach?Ultimately, what holds us back the most from achieving our goals is the conditioning from our past that we are clinging to. It's our beliefs that keep us stuck. In order to exceed what we have achieved in the past, we must be willing to let go of the limiting beliefs we have of other people, the world, and ourselves. When it comes to things we struggle with, the beliefs that are holding us back are reinforced. Reinforced in that, we feel it will cost us something to let go. We think these beliefs somehow protect us even though we can plainly see the damage they are doing in our lives.The easiest way to let go of the reinforced beliefs that no longer serve us is to come to grips with what they are really costing us and everyone around us. Then, any amount of pain we believe we might feel will seem like a small price to pay in exchange for giving up our hold on these beliefs.What is not always easy to recognize at the beginning of this journey is how unbelievably good it actually feels to rid ourselves of these haunting beliefs. There is no pain in letting go of these beliefs; the pain solely comes from trying to hold on. The more of these beliefs you discard, the easier it gets. You can quickly find a whole new level of inner peace, and emotional balance through just letting go.Your mind will soon quiet and you will find an inner peace. Amazingly, you will begin to hear all the chatter in everyone else's minds as it is clear in their spoken language (Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah). As you listen to others, you can begin to hear their fears, regrets, self doubts and all the other nonsense we allow to hold ourselves back.You can especially hear it in your prospects. You know when someone is lying (by the way, they are not lying to you..... they are lying to themselves, in front of you), and you know when someone has put on a fake personality to have a conversation with you.Once your mind is quiet, you will have no tolerance for this behavior. You will start challenging your prospects with a whole new level of posture. You will be able to cut like a knife right to the "real" reasons people are choosing to stay stuck. And, you'll find you are able to quickly recognize who your prospect is after just a few minutes of an interview.You will be empowered to ask your prospects questions that will "wake them up" and challenge them to break out of their fake persona and actually "get real" with you. You may be the first person they have "gotten real with" in years. They will definitely see you as a "real person" and they will believe they can trust you, a stranger on the phone, more than they trust anyone else in their life.In many cases, they will trust you and be more real with you than they are with their spouse, their co-workers, anyone. They will recognize you as the leader who can show them how to get real results in their life. This level of presence and posture, is what true leaders operate with and why they never feel the need to convince. True leaders engage in a powerful, authentic conversation in which they are not afraid to challenge their prospects and they simply ask people to follow their own hearts.It is truly a gift to be able to communicate with people on this level; a gift you give yourself. Prospecting with a quiet mind allows you to maintain a high level of relaxed confident energy and you will never see prospecting as difficult or draining again.Once you have experienced this level of authentic communication with people, you will begin to recognize all the times your so-called friends let you off the hook, or obviously aren't even really listening to you. You will begin to see how fake and self-absorbed most people are. You will see very quickly why people never get the results they say they want. They are totally unwilling to let go of the stories they have created about the reality of how life really is. Letting go of these stories would mean they would actually have to take responsibility for all of their results in life. The good news for us is there are millions of people out there who are serious about making a real change in their lives and feel stuck because everyone around them has their own agendas.So, if you are ready to break free, here is what will be required...The first and only thing you must do is give up and abandon the beliefs no longer serving you. Once you have done this, the people you speak with will be like an open book. You will get a picture of what they say they want, and you will recognize how what they are actually saying with their language eliminates that as a possibility for their life. When you begin prospecting with a quiet mind, you will begin to hear the message behind what your prospect is saying and feel comfortable challenging them.For example, you might say at some point during the interview, "You told me that you want to make 100k a year and are willing to do what ever it takes, but now you're saying that you only willing to do what it takes if it won't cost you anything."You can be calm and confident in the challenge, allowing your prospect to recognize how stuck they are. The prospect will either wake-up or will attempt to engage you in a self-serving defense of their limiting beliefs.With this level of presence and posture, you will be confident in releasing the prospect if you believe they don't have the drive, desire and gusto to really make this happen for himself. In the same scenario, when your mind is not so quiet, you might try to convince the prospect of the logic behind coming up with the start up cost in order to make millions. This is silly, and it insults the intelligence of the prospect (whether they know it or not) and it's just you, trying to save the sale without any consideration of yourself or your prospect.The only reason you would ever feel the need to convince, explain or sell is when you are not present and are operating from a place of force rather than power. The reason we engage in conversations when others are attempting to defend their limiting beliefs is because we want to be right and feel insecure ourselves.In releasing your limiting beliefs, you will also release the need to operate from a place of force and righteousness, allowing the flow to happen freely. You will find yourself relaxed, confident and assured of your greater good as you prospect and move forward in your business.

News On Liberty League International

So what the heck is this crazy thing Gina's involved with???

Well, yes, it's a REAL business and a very, very, powerful one at that!

Check out the latest news!

http://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=70626

Wow, more good stuff from Tony!

Joe and Tom get started in Liberty League on the same day.They have the same training, the same script, the same ads, the same system, the same presentation and the same 3way support.And yet Joe achieves the position of Advisor very quickly and is making money. Tom is spinning his wheels.What's the difference? Why is "Tom" not making money?Firstly, this article is not for you. Unless you think it is.I'm a stand that every person reading this has WITHIN THEMSELVES exactly what it takes to be successful. I see you as successful right now.So, I'm writing this article so that it might provide some insight on why someone you know in the business -- we'll call him "Tom" -- who might not be getting the results they want. Maybe Tom is someone on your team. Maybe Tom is someone whom you enrolled a few weeks ago.Following are some things that come to mind that I believe keep people "stuck".1. LACK OF CONFIDENCE. Do this: picture a person standing with his shoulders slumped. He's looking at his feet. He's kicking the dirt with his toe. He's got his hands in his pocket.Now, this person might be the nicest person in the world. But everything about his posture says "Leave me alone." even if he's starving to talk to someone.Now, if you picture what that person sounds like on the phone....that's probably Tom. Tom has no confidence.Confidence is vital. It breeds success. And the recipe for confidence is simple: feel good about yourself, feel good about what you're doing and to have a very clear vision of what your life is going to look like in the next few weeks because of what you're doing.If "Tom" will get very clear on his goals, he'll be more confident on the phone and he will present himself as someone who prospects will want to spend more time with.2. SELLING INSTEAD OF SORTING. We do a good job in Liberty League of teaching against this one but I still see it from time to time. "Tom" is so desperate for a sale that he feels the need to use language that is meant to "entice" the prospect into getting started.And it doesn't work. It only makes Tom look more desperate.What are some examples? Tom doesn't use 3ways. He wants to answer all the prospect's questions for them. And then he calls his Advisor later to tell him about this "great prospect" who's getting started. But he never does.Or Tom might do a 3way call for the prospect...but after the Advisor hangs up, Tom will stay on the line and answer questions for another 20 minutes or tell him how great everything is.Or worse, he'll call back the prospect after the presentation to check his interest level....and try to convince a 3 to be a 7. He'll spend time "overcoming objections" and trying to get the prospect to be more interested than he is.The best thing Tom can do is to shut up and just stick to the system. Because this is not a business of "selling" people. It's a business of sorting. And the sooner Tom figures this out, the more money he'll start making.Sir Isaac Newton had it right: every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The more time Tom spends chasing prospects, the more they will run away from him.3. GETTING READY. This is a big reason why people like "Tom" choose to stay stuck. He's constantly getting ready to work his business.You've seen this guy. This is the guy who has been in the business for a week and has still not put a single person on the presentation calls. Not one. He's still going through his starter kit. He's rehearsing his voicemail script for the 25th time. He's calling to ask which 800Link package he needs to get.The solution for "Tom" is simply to tell him this: "Tom, if you're serious about this business, here's what you have to do: go find 6 people to put on the calls in the next 24 hours. Call me after they get off the line and we'll get their questions answered."That's it.That's the business.Not spending another week "getting ready". "Getting Ready" is a common trap for people like Tom. Make sure that you teach him to avoid it.4. NO ACTIVITY. This is the simplest but it seems some people fall for it. Tom is attending all the training calls. He's attending the team calls. He's "around" the business all day. But he's not calling leads. He's not putting people on presentation calls. He's not doing followups or three-ways.In short, he's not doing anything that makes money. He's "around" the business but not "in" the business.And simply put, the only solution is for Tom to get off his ass and go to work. Nothing happens until Tom moves. Tom...it's time to get going! Money is waiting on you but it's not going to come over and jump in your pocket! Go get it!5. NEGATIVITY. This is one that no one thinks they have. And yet every "Tom" I've met seems to have at least a mild case of it. They deny it but it's there.Here's the deal: "negativity" does not mean "unfriendly". Or "rude". Or "abrasive".I'm thinking of a "Tom" right now. He is one of the most negative people I know but he's very friendly. Very cheerful. Very happy-go-lucky. If you met him, you'd think he's a fun guy to be around.But, "Tom" is a negative person because -- underneath all that happiness -- he doesn't really expect good things to happen for him. He doesn't really think he's going to make money today. He doesn't really think that his leads are going to be any better than yesterday's. He is actually expecting things to NOT go his way.And he's always right. Because the law of attraction says we don't get what we want....we get what we vibrate. And "Tom" is vibrating a negative expectation of his goals. So, that's what he gets: no goals.This is an insidious one. Because, in good people, negativity often hides underneath a veneer of positive attitude. But it's still there, lurking underneath, sabotaging all the right things you're doing.How would Tom know if this is what's keeping him stuck? Simple. Ask Tom to make the following statement: "I am going to earn $_____ this week" and then ask him honestly if he feels like he's telling the truth or not. If the answer is anything but a 'yes' or takes longer than 2 seconds to answer....then he really doesn't believe what he's saying.And that brings me to the biggie....6. LACK OF BELIEF.Read this carefully! Every "Tom" I've seen in this business has got this one.....and every one of them would also claim that it's not their problem.There are three levels of belief: hope, expectancy and certainty. Obviously you have to have a certain level of belief to get started. But "Tom" is forever stuck in hope. He doesn't really believe that he's going to be the guy earning thousands of dollars in a day or a week.He'll write the affirmations.He'll carry a goal card.He'll attend the training calls.He'll go through all the motions.But, at the end of the day, he won't take ownership of his own belief system.Here's one litmus test; it's not the only one but it's an easy one: most of the time Tom has never bought his conference tickets.Why? It's not because he doesn't have the money. It's because he doesn't really believe that he's going to make enough money to recoup that cost.And -- boom -- just like that. There it is: the lack of belief that is keeping him from making Beyond Freedom sales.Belief is the bottleneck for all action. You can have all the belief in the world but you only get credit for the amount of belief that you're willing to ACT on. So, if someone says "Oh, I believe this will work...I just want to make some sales at the BF level before I buy my tickets..."...., well that person is basically saying "I don't believe it and I need to prove something to myself."And that's the problem: when you have no belief of your own, you CANNOT prove anything to anyone, including yourself.The good news is that Tom can solve this problem easily, too. If Tom didn't believe that ducks existed, all Tom would need to do is go find a duck. If Tom didn't believe that someone could type 90 words per minute, Tom would just need to find someone who's doing it.Evidence creates belief.And, if Tom wants to operate at high belief, all he has to do is see all the evidence around him for how people just like him are getting phenomenal results in their business.And then take action on that belief himself. Buy the leads. Go to the conference. Attend a training event. ANY action that is based on belief will plant a seed of achievement in your business.=====Hopefully, this article will be of value to "Tom". He's a powerful guy but he's bought the lie that he's got to struggle in order to be successful.So, my final words to "Tom" are these:Tom, don't ever let anyone tell you that you're not powerful. You are. And you have everything within you that you need to be successful. But you're going to have to get off your ass...you're going to have to follow the system....and you're going to have to be bold and courageous in your decision-making.And when you do that...when you take your foot of the brakes....when you leap.....when you exhibit real belief in who you are and what you're doing.........that's when you will start making money so quickly you'll wonder where it's been hiding all this time.Now. Go do it.

My experience of the Hawaii event!

The conference was just amazing! Every one there was willing to share what made a positive difference for them in their business. The people I spoke with in great length were Tony and Elaina and Delwyn McKenzie; both shared openly and I knew this would never happen in any other work environment involving sales. There’s no such thing as ‘healthy competition’ in the corporate world. At LLI however, that’s all that exists- Every single person I talked with, whether it was a quick chat or long conversation, seemed to be biting at the bit to share what worked for them. Also, the kindness I felt and the awesome friendships I developed are more than words can describe From the opulent surroundings to the leaders ( especially you Tony), the speakers and meeting our founders I knew w/o a doubt this is exactly where I needed to be- It gave me the conviction I made the right decision. One more very important thing- Default town. This is huge for me. You know default town is emerged with emotion and since I got back from Hawaii I’ve been learning to recognize I’m either hanging around default or smack dab in the middle of it and I’m turning around taking the emotion with me and wrapping it around my dreams or what you call my ‘whys’ once that bow is tightly secured, I feel unstoppable- Sure there may be challenges along the way however, now I look right past them and can clearly see where I’m going- I truly feel blessed from the whole experience!

Good stuff from Tony Rush!

was hosting a presentation call last week -- something I volunteer to do and enjoy doing -- and someone asked me, "What are my odds of succeeding in Liberty League"?I understood her question. She was looking for a number that would tell her how many people "succeed" versus how many "fail".On the surface, the question sounds good. It looks good on paper. But the way most people ask this question indicates a HUGE lack of understanding about success. Here's what I mean:Let's say a person wants to be a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. They want to know how many people take Tae Kwon Do classes and -- of those -- how many people achieve the black-belt level. Say that figure is 1% (I have no idea). In their minds, this represents a 1 out of 100 possibility for them. And so this person will assume that their personal "odds" are 1 out of 100.And this is their mistake. The 1% figure doesn't exist because 99% of people "fail". It exists because most of the 99%ers are just taking up room. Tae Kwon Do is one of those things that have an easy-entry. You can show up on a Tuesday night, pay some money for a uniform and technically be "in" Tae Kwon Do. But that doesn't mean you're committed. On the other hand, if you're someone who is seriously passionate about becoming a black belt and you're willing to commit the time, effort and energy to do the work....then your "odds" of becoming a black belt are about 100%Seriously. 100% success ratio. For every person who says "I'm going to be a black belt" and then actually does what is required to achieve it.Same thing for buying a musical instrument. I'd guess that fewer than 10% of people who buy a guitar actually learn to play a song. Why? Because of the "easy entry". On the other hand, nearly every person who makes the commitment to learn and practice actually DOES it.100% success rate.And it's the same thing in our business. I don't regularly see people who who are doing exactly what we teach in Liberty League who are not getting results. And when I occasionally run across someone who says, "Hey, why am I not getting results?", I can usually ask them five questions and find that they are skipping one or more basic principles that we teach in our business.And when they correct their activities and actually start doing what we teach....then the results show up.So, success is not a matter of "odds". It's not a slot machine. It's not a lottery. It's a CHOICE. And since anyone can choose to actually do the things that create results.....then anyone can choose to be successful.What are YOU choosing for your life?

If you can do the following, you can be a rising star at Liberty League!

1. Visualize (All Top leaders visualize daily)
2. Personal Development (Develop yourself = develop your bank account)
3. Income producing activities (lead generation, prospecting, collecting decisions and checks)
4. Masterminding with leaders (weekly team and company calls and calling advisors)
5. Expectation of Leadership (Assume the position of a leader and expect others to be leaders. Don't expect others to do something you have not done yourself. You deserve to expect others to do what you have done)

Day in review

This is me and my nephew, isn't he cute! Anyway, today is Saturday- It's VERY hot here in southern CA .... finding out more and more about my new biz Liberty League mostly good stuff- a few confusing things but that's OK I guess....I will learn more when I go to Hawaii!!! Yes, I will be sipping a drink from a coconut in less than a week! ;o)

Went out with another " leaguer" and watched the fireworks last night; had a nice time....found a great little hidden spot by DP harbor called "The Wicked Garden" Very cool place, will definitely go there again!

The thing from yesterday has lighted a huge flame under my ass and I am getting off the computer to put my nose to the grind-stone. - Truly a blessing in disguise ;o) Here is a great quote:

There's no joy, pleasure or abundance in going through life just careening from wall to wall like a car out of control. In fact, it sucks. And that's where most people are. - Tony Rush

bye for now. Sorry so boring :(

Yip Eeee! Independence Day!

Well, I must say, the morning started out pretty negative when a family member who has good intentions (not the one pictured. That's my mom isn't she just gorgeous! ) tried to " warn " me of supposed dangers of LLI... I worked though it and now I am actually very grateful! As this " warning " just put a flame under my ass! So when I am over 6-figures by Dec, I can look back and say: "Boy was I smart to stick to my inner feelings about my choices and stay firm in my own convictions"! No one wants to be told their wrong or have made unwise decisions. It ruffles our feathers! This particular person just has a lot of love for me and I can understand that... Until there is a more positive union between us, I will distance myself from them. I have no plans today... Used to be a big " party goer" not so much now... I am content with doing this ( writing on my new blog even if no one ever sees it but me)... My heart is filled with gratitude also for that fact that when I " reach out " for help from my new positive community, they were there even the big fellas at the top were lending their hand in wise advice! This instilled a belief that they really DO care!
Anyway, I may walk down the street later and watch the fireworks or not I guess it all depends on my mood.... Here is a great quote:

"Before us lie two paths -- honesty and dishonesty. The shortsighted embark on the dishonest path; the wise on the honest. For the wise know the truth; in helping others we help ourselves; and in hurting others we hurt ourselves. Character overshadows money, and trust rises above fame. Honesty is still the best policy". - Napoleon Hill

Todays " something to think about "

Hello there! Wow, I'm just learning all sorts of new technical stuff! I really have no idea what to write here but here goes:
OK, today, I was pretty lazy.... I had a lot on my mind about a previous relationship and it pretty much gave me a headache. I laid down for a couple hours and then got back on the horse about getting " real " for my new business Liberty League International.... I went on the networking site and found some interesting things ( including starting this ) on the top income earners "pages" and did a lot of reading and watching inspirational videos.... The more I do this the more I believe I can walk in their shoes sooner rather than later. It just comes down to a CHOICE. These people are millionaires and some even billionaires.... And they all say the same thing: it starts in your mind. Change the way you think, see yourself living the life and you will attain it. We have all heard this our entire lives( read the books and seen the DVD"s) so why is it so hard to do? -Because we tell ourselves it's hard. We focus on the things we don't want ( most of the time not even consciously ) and we don't make a daily habit of doing the things we know will bring us closer to our goal. Most important: we haven't taken the time to learn more about us, who we are, our total selves, most important our intuitive selvess... Don't get me wrong, I have yet to master this but they have and if I am going to seek advice (or share advice ) it would be from those I admire and have made a massive success in their lives... Anyway, I could go on and on about this subject for now I think I will break till tomorrow...

However, I will leave you with this: You become who you hang around. Look around you- Is everyone earning $50-$60K or less? Then more then likely you will too. Now that's not a bad income, however I would be surprised if someone said it was a good income; especially in year 2008.
If you're happy with it though, allowing for a night out with the family once in a blue moon as that is about all energy you can muster from working 40,50,60+ hours a week- good for you. For those of us who want more-
and you want to change something, whatever it is; start hanging around the people who have already accomplished what it is your looking to achieve! ;o)
