CHARACTER IS ACCURATELY REFLECTED IN ONE’S MENTAL ATTITUDE.
Without a strong foundation built on positive character traits, success will not long endure. It is virtually impossible to fake good character. Phonies are quickly spotted because they haven’t the substance and determination to maintain the charade. Developing good character begins with a positive attitude. Your desire to be a good, decent, honest, considerate person must first take place in your mind. When you make the decision to become a person of character, you will also find that you are much more willing to do the right thing simply because it is the right thing to do.

From Michael Oliver of Natural Selling
Allow me ask you a question… and without intellectualizing it or thinking what you think might be a clever answer, please say out loud the first thing that comes to your mind…
What's the Purpose of a business…? Any business in the world?
Perhaps your answer might be something like, “Make money” or “To make a profit” or “To be fulfilled”.
Or, perhaps your answer might look like this, “To help others” or “To fulfill the needs of others” or “To help people solve their problems.”
If your answer to my question was similar to the first set, such as making money, ask yourself this, does your answer demonstrate a focus on you and your business or does it focus on other people? It's on you and what you want, isn’t it? To be more precise, this is your Personal Agenda.
And the second set? Your focus is on others, to help them get what they want. This is what I call coming from a place of Purpose.
The reason I ask the question 'What is the Purpose of a business?' is because your answer reveals a vitally important awareness for you… your words give you away!!
How? Because your thoughts and words are energy that people directly or indirectly feel. Have you ever thought they can consciously and subconsciously feel your real intent? That they know whether you are focused on your Personal Agenda, which is about you and what you want, or on your Purpose, which is about helping them get what they want?
To paraphrase an ancient saying…
Your words are an extension of your thoughts
Your actions are an extension of your words
And your habits are an extension of your actionsYou demonstrate who you are, and people judge and respond to you, based on your words, your actions and your habits. And it all starts where? With a thought! Everything starts with a thought. That's why thoughts are so powerful. That's why choosing how you think and act will determine how life responds to you and what you receive in life.
So the question you have to ask yourself is, are you in business for you or are you in it for other people! You can discover the truth by answering the following question.
If your solution cannot solve someone's problem, is there any reason for them to do business with you?
No, there isn't! (The definition of a problem is simply the difference between what a person has and what they want!)
So there are two important dynamics here, Purpose and Personal Agenda. It's a matter of choice. There is no right or wrong in choosing your focus to be one or the other. However, what you choose will reflect your long term results.
While you think about this, take a moment to consider the dynamics mentioned previously about focusing on yourself.
If you are focused on yourself all the time, is your life likely to be a struggle to get what you want and even to maintain it? Conversely, when you effectively focus on others, and know how to help them, do you think your intentions and desires can be achieved with less effort?
Another ancient saying says, "When you seek to serve, you ultimately serve yourself!" It's just a matter of knowing how to do it!
In Natural Selling while it's important to focus on your Purpose, it's also important not to lose sight of achieving your Personal Agenda because that is also why you are here on this planet.
The question that you must ask yourself however is, "Do I make my Personal Agenda my principal focus, or is there another way that will allow me to effortlessly and easily help others get what they want that will ultimately allow me to get what I want without any anxiety in the process of doing so?"
If you choose the latter then Natural Selling is exactly that, for the Purpose of a business, in Natural Selling terms, is not about you, it's simply about helping other people solve their problems… And that is the first principle of Natural Selling…
Principle #1 Natural Selling is helping other people solve their problems
Now, if you know how to help people solve their problems, and you can do it with your own solutions, you will achieve what? Your Personal Agenda, which is your own reason for being in business.
Selling As A Problem Solving Exercise.
So if the purpose of a business is to help other people solve their problems, you could say that selling is merely a Problem Solving Exercise. It's not a telling or persuading exercise. It's all to do with problem solving.
You could call yourself a PROBLEM SOLVER! With problems come opportunities and the opportunity for you is to help others get what they want and to be rewarded for it.

Since the dawn of man, it's been a rule. To get more, we must give more first. So it is in Network Marketing also. Just try to reverse this law and see.

TRYING TO GET WITHOUT FIRST GIVING IS AS FRUITLESS AS TRYING TO REAP WITHOUT HAVING SOWN.
The Bible states that we reap what we sow. The most fertile soil in the world is barren unless seeds have been properly planted, cultivated, and nurtured. The relationship between giving and getting is constant in everything you do. To succeed in any endeavor, you must first invest a generous portion of your time and talents if you expect ever to earn a return on your investment. You have to give before you get. It’s all a matter of attitude. You may occasionally be disappointed if you are not rewarded for your efforts, but if you demand payment for your services before you render them, you can expect a lifetime of disappointment and frustration. If you cheerfully do your best before asking for any compensation, you can expect a bountiful harvest of the greatest rewards life has to offer.
