In my (albeit short) time as an entrepreneur, I found that the subject matter of this 3rd post of 6 myth buster vids is a topic that is one of the biggest reasons network marketing gets a bad rap.

Marketing is something EVERYONE does, but not everyone gets paid for it. And it’s usually because people don’t understand it, and/or have negative and usually misguided impressions about it. So here’s to breaking those walls!

===============================================

Please note that there ARE SOME differences between network marketing & affiliate marketing, which I’ll get in to in a different post.

===============================================

Myth #3:

Network (Affiliate) Marketing Uses People

This thought process shows that you assume anyone who is in business is just out to squeeze money out of you. Yes, there are unscrupulous people out there who see you as only a dollar sign ($) but more often than not, you will only see successful network marketers who focus on helping their TEAM achieve their individual (and this group) goals.

This argument is most often used by people who are afraid of (or don’t understand) what you’re doing. They have an idea that anyone trying to sell them something is just trying to scam them. Perhaps they’ve been burned before. Perhaps you’ve given them the impression that what you’re doing is nefarious.

Do not take it to heart. Continue to work on yourself and don’t push it. Remember – if you’re passionate about what you’re doing and your heart is in the right place, they’ll figure it out in time.

In my (albeit short) time as an entrepreneur, I found that the subject matter of this 1st post of 6 myth buster vids is kind of a hot topic. It’s something EVERYONE does, but not everyone gets paid for it. And it’s usually because people don’t understand it, and have negative and usually misguided impressions about it. So here’s to breaking those walls!

===============================================

Please note that there ARE SOME differences between network marketing & affiliate marketing, which I’ll get in to in a different post.

===============================================

Myth #1:

Network (Affiliate) Marketing is an ILLEGAL Pyramid Scheme

An illegal pyramid scheme is a fraud based on recruiting an increasing number of investors. It provides no products/goods or services, and pays according to the number of recruits. It is often confused with NETWORK MARKETING or any company that is MLM (Multi-Level Marketing). Be sure to do proper research before joining one of these companies, as there ARE unscrupulous people out there.

This argument is most often used by people who are afraid of (or don’t understand) what you’re doing. When they use this objection, this “test” obviously cannot determine legality as most businesses and organizations (including the government) have the same structure.

Myth #2:

Only the Guy at the Top Makes All the Money

This statement accurately describes any J.O.B. (Just Over Broke) in the world! The difference between a job and having a position in a Network / Affiliate Marketing company is that you have the ABILITY to make more money than the people above you — it’s based on the joint effort of you and your team, as well as several other factors.

Income is related to EFFORT not position!

Listen to Your Body

2014-12-17 By Kassandra 8 Comments

Previous Post: Sharing on Social Media Part 2 of 2 – What You SHOULD Share (What To Share)

Next Post: Why We Should Work Together

Our bodies are amazing machines. And just like any technology, if not properly taken care of it will break down and stop working as designed. Here’s what I mean:

Recharge Your Batteries
Just like any technological device, our bodies need our “batteries” charged. This means we need our sleep.

Studies have shown that when we don’t get enough sleep (about 7-8 hours) we suffer for it. This might be cause for:
- a lack of energy
- being sleepy or tired during the day
- lack of focus
- gaining weight
- mood swings
- falling asleep at the wheel (it’s more dangerous to be behind the wheel and sleep deprived than if you were drunk)
It is IMPERATIVE that we get enough rest. During this time, our brains sort through all of the information for the day, help us process things we might not be able to while awake, and also allows our body to heal and regenerate. (Yes, I said regenerate.) Sleep is truly a wonderful thing, as it:
- contributes to a healthy immune system
- can balance appetites (helps regulate certain hormones which play a role in our feelings of hunger / fulness)
- grows & repairs tissue
- helps retain information when learning something new
It’s absolutely amazing what our bodies do for us when we charge our batteries properly. Be sure to check out either the Harvard’s site Benefits of Sleep or even the Sleep Foundation’s What Happens When You Sleep pages for more information.

I would also highly recommend HowStuffWorks’ page on How Sleep Works!
Keep Clean
Like electronic devices, if we don’t keep our bodies clean then a lot of issues will happen. Now, we can’t avoid water or dust, and neither will hurt us, but if we don’t keep clean there are many consequences.
- No shower? – body odor, chance of infection increases, you’ll itch more
- Don’t brush or floss? – gingivitis, loss of teeth, bad breath, etc
So be sure to stay clean! Otherwise you will start to decay … Really!
Eat right & Hydrate
Now, I wasn’t really sure how to tie this one in with electronics, since TECHNICALLY this would fall under recharging your batteries (putting fuel in), however I felt this topic needed a section of it’s own.

When you eat junk food, not only are you giving your body CRAP that may be difficult to utilize efficiently, but you are also making it harder to quit! Check out the Huffington Post’s article on What Happens to Your Brain When You Eat Junk Food (And Why We Crave It).

When you don’t hydrate, you’re not allowing your body to have what it needs to run efficiently. It’s kind of like putting oil in your car or ensuring there’s enough air flow for your computer. You need water, and lots of it, to be healthy. Here’s why:
- when we’re born, our body is about 75% water, but by a certain age we begin to lost the ability to retain water (so we need more of it)
- our cells use water to communicate with each other
- reduces stress on kidney functions
- eases constipation
- has been seen to ease chronic pain
- NOTHING can replace it (coffee is a diuretic, sodas contain a bunch of crap, etc)
- as we age, we lose the ability to detect thirst
Be sure to check out HowStuffWorks pages for how water affects your body, such as The Benefits of Drinking Water as well as How to Moisturize From the Inside Out for more information on why it is imperative that you stay hydrated.

A lot of people don’t realize how dehydrated they are. A good rule of thumb is take your weight in pounds, multiply by .75 and that is about the number of ounces a day you should be drinking in water. (This is basically 75% of your body weight in ounces.) Now, you can get water from the foods you eat, but it’s better to just carry around a bottle of water.

I even found out about an app you can use on your phone that not only reminds you to drink water, but you can also see your progress on how much water you drink on a daily, weekly, and annual basis.

That’s all from me for today!

4 Limiting Money Beliefs

“Money is the root of all evil.”

“Rich people are selfish.”

“Money can’t buy you happiness.”

Ever heard of these sayings before? Watch my video below to find out how these beliefs are stopping you from achieving prosperity in your life!

=====================================

=================================

“If you free yourself financially, you can be fully present to your purpose on the planet.”

– Kate Northrup, author of Money: A Love Story

================================

“Money is not negative or positive, it’s just a tool to create change.” – Kate Northrup

If you’re worried about money, where it’ll come from, how we’ll pay for things, that takes up a lot of bandwidth and mention. You’ll stop yourself from focusing on the things that will get you where you want to go.

Being in financial chaos keeps you small – it keeps you from being fully present to your purpose on this planet, even if you don’t yet know what that is.

======================================

4 Money Beliefs That Stop You From Having Prosperity

Someone else should or will do this for me

You give up your financial power! It may be easier, but you give up your power. It is symptomatic of feeling that we are not enough to be able to achieve financial freedom on our own … that it’s too scary, I’m not smart enough, whatever. We wait and never turn on to our full potential!
“I’m not good with money.”

We’ve all learned the skills we have, so to have this belief is only holding you back. Our beliefs influence (or become) our actions (we act in accordance to what our beliefs are) … And our actions create our results. So when you think “I’m not good with money” you are right off the bat setting yourself up for failure…

Because you have this thought, you will avoid taking steps to secure your financial freedom. So you should take really small actions to build your confidence (utilize my free tool, daily check your bank account balance & give gratitude to all the things in your life that make you feel you’re in abundance) …

Paying attention pays off! You will train your brain to associate money with feeling good.

People with money are greedy / It’s not spiritual to have money

When we have a judgement of someone for having something (like money) you are making an assumption & chances are pretty good they worked hard to achieve that goal & they deserve it because of the time and effort they put in. So when you have this negative mentality, you are stopping yourself form achieving the same outcome because you’re judging other people form having it … So why would your brain want that? Why would you want to be that “evil” or “greedy” or “dishonest” person?

Money is a stand in for what we value. So if someone wants something that you offer & they value it according to the amount that it costs? That is an exchange of value for value. So when you add value to someone else’s life, that IS a spiritual act.

“I see that you have a need, and I have something that can fill that need for you.”

Start viewing the world as, “Where can I add value? How can I add value to someone’s life?”

You will begin rewiring your brain and you will learn & understand that you will become more prosperous to the degree of which you provide value to others.
“I’m not ___ enough.”

Smart, talented, didn’t come from right background … Whatever it is, it is immediately taking you out of the game. Any time you don’t value yourself, even when you’re providing tremendous value … When you don’t see your own worth you WILL NOT receive the appropriate exchange for that.

“No one will value you more than yourself.” – Kate Northrop

Journal at least 21 days and write in 3 things you value about yourself or ways you added value to someone else’s life. By doing this, you’re building that muscle and training yourself to notice
(a) ways we are valuable
(b) ways we’ve added value to others’ lives

When you do this, you will begin to see more opportunities to provide more value … It will makes you a better business person and human.

These opportunities could be simply be smiling at someone, making a phone call just to let them know you were thinking about them … Doesn’t have to be business.
