DON’T LOOK TO THE STARS FOR THE CAUSE

DON’T LOOK TO THE STARS FOR THE CAUSE OF YOUR MISFORTUNES LOOK TO YOURSELF TO GET BETTER RESULTS.

There are many things you cannot control, but you can control the only things that really matter: your mind and your attitude. External forces have very little to do with success. Those who program themselves for success find a way to succeed even in the most difficult of circumstances. Solutions to most problems come from one source and one source alone: yourself.

Living life to the fullest is a lot like shooting the rapids in a rubber raft. Once you’ve made the commitment, it’s difficult to change your mind, turn around, and paddle upstream to placid waters. But it’s the excitement and adventure that make it all worthwhile. If you never make the attempt, you may never know the depths of despair, but neither will you experience the exhilaration of success.

This positive message is brought to you by the Napoleon Hill Foundation. Visit us at http://www.naphill.org.

It's all about assuming responsibility for our actions, deeds and thoughts.  Until we take responsibility, then our lives are controlled by others, our success is controlled by others.... that's not a life lived to its fullest, in my humble opinion.

thoughts on our online activity http://ping.fm/ZbRa6

What is the Houston Network Marketing Meetup?

If you’re familiar with the site, Meetup.com, you know that it’s a great place to go to look for groups of interest.  If you are not familiar with Meetup.com, then I recommend you go there, sign up, (it’s FREE) and start looking for groups who share similar interests as your own.  You’d be amazed at the number of groups and varied interests.

Anyway, back to the question of WHAT is the “Houston Network Marketing Meetup Group”?

First, let me explain what it’s NOT.  One of the requirements of Meetup is that we actually DO have meetings, get together. Unlike other marketing groups, the “Houston Network Marketing Meetup” group is not a place to come in, join, spam your business opportunity and then disappear. 

We do not hold opportunity meetings.  Now it may have been that way in the past, but not anymore. 

So what IS the group all about?  Since taking over the group September 2008, the current organizers have evolved the group into a generic opportunity for learning and sharing skills that can help ANY Network Marketer in ANY business.

We get together usually twice a month, once on the Southwest Side and once on the Northwest Side of Houston.  Yes, that means getting out of the house. 

We share skills, have great speakers come in like Legendary, Internationally renowned, Tom “Big” Al Schreiter, and present useful information to help anyone build their Network Marketing Business.

Through the meetings, we connect with fellow Network Marketers, all sharing the same passion of helping others and building a business, plus creating great relationships with those we meet.

Discussions include topics such as Time Management, Personality trainings, Sponsoring trainings, tax tips, etc...

If you live in the Houston area and are interested in meeting other like minded individuals, sharing your knowledge in the Industry, learning new skills, refreshing your skills, creating relationships, consider joining the Houston Network Marketing Meetup Group. 

You can go to:  http://www.meetup.com/Houston-Network-Marketing/   to sign up.  It’s free!  So come join us at the next meetup.  You never know what opportunity you’ve missed if you don’t.

We also have a blog site at:  http://houstonnetworkmarketing.com/hnm/  If you are involved in Network Marketing and a blogger or article writer desiring to share generic information, non self-promoting topics, contact one of the organizers to discuss the possibilities of becoming a guest author on the blog.

Thought for the day   May 8, 2009

BOASTFULNESS IS GENERALLY AN ADMISSION OF AN INFERIORITY COMPLEX

Really capable people don’t have to boast about their achievements; they let their actions speak for them. When you boast about your accomplishments, you are telling others that you are unsure of yourself and your value in the world. Baseball manager Tommy Lasorda once noted that there are those who watch things happen, those who wonder what happened, and those who make things happen. Strive to be one of those who make things happen. If you show others what you can do, they will respect you far more than if you had simply told them what you’d done. Anyone can quarrel with words, but actions speak for themselves.

A Job Offer (Scam)

You get them in your email inbox and spam folder all the time.  My sole intent is to publish these emails and get these scammers information out to the world in the hopes that some unsuspecting potential victim will google search before falling for this.

These scammers will often use legitimate company names, but a free email account.  But if you just realize this one thing – you will not get caught by these scammers.

Legit companies, and this includes WORLD-WIDE, DO NOT send out unsolicited job offerings to strangers using an ‘undisclosed’ list.   Any legitimate company wishing to hire YOU, will expect you to complete a real job application.

Here is today’s most recent email scam.  Most generally the tip off is anything to do with handling ‘funds’.  I’ve highlighted the RED FLAGS for you . ~~~~
