Amazing Results With Ageless

At the Ageless launch, my wife insisted that I buy a set of Ageless because she was convinced on the goodness of the 100% natural ingredient promise of the product.

I decided to give the products a test. On 10 April 2008, I started using Ageless Revitalizing Gel Scrub [1/wk], Ageless Gentle Daily Cleansing Gel, Ageless Moisturizing Gel, Ageless Refreshing Anti Oxidant Misting Gel on my left hand, Using just only these 4 items from the range, within a week, I notice amazing results - my left hand looks so different from my right hand. The skin is much smoother, clearer, lighter and looks healthier.

I then decided to give the products a more stringent test and discontinued using the products from 10th May 2008. What is more amazing is that today 28th May 2008, my left hand still looks better than my right hand meaning the improvement of the skin condition is real and not cosmetic.

If Ageless can transform and make my skin looks better and healthier, what can EXO a similar product do for my internal organs. I am one EXO a day and I am now convince that I should continue to do so.

What Will You Have In A Lifetime ?

Just want to share an interesting simple and accurate formula to calculate what you will have in a lifetime.

It is called the ABCD formula.

If A = Attitude , B = Beliefs, C = Committments & D = Dreams

Then how much you will have in a lifetime will be
= A x B x C x D [ point value from 0 - 100 ] ; and the max
= 100 x 100 x 100 x 100 = USD 100,000,000

If you are not earning what you desire, the formula will tell you where improvement is required.

Try calculating your earnings and find out what is stopping you !!!

Reasons We Lose Motivation!!!

There are 3 primary reasons we lose motivation.

1. Lack of confidence - If you don’t believe you can succeed, what’s the point in trying?
2. Lack of focus - If you don’t know what you want, do you really want anything?
3. Lack of direction - If you don’t know what to do, how can you be motivated to do it?

How to Boost Confidence
The first motivation killer is a lack of confidence. When this happens to me, it’s usually because I’m focusing entirely on what I want and neglecting what I already have. When you only think about what you want, your mind creates explanations for why you aren’t getting it. This creates negative thoughts. Past failures, bad breaks, and personal weaknesses dominate your mind. You become jealous of your competitors and start making excuses for why you can’t succeed. In this state, you tend to make a bad impression, assume the worst about others, and lose self confidence.
The way to get out of this thought pattern is to focus on gratitude. Set aside time to focus on everything positive in your life. Make a mental list of your strengths, past successes, and current advantages. We tend to take our strengths for granted and dwell on our failures. By making an effort to feel grateful, you’ll realize how competent and successful you already are. This will rejuvenate your confidence and get you motivated to build on your current success.
It might sound strange that repeating things you already know can improve your mindset, but it’s amazingly effective. The mind distorts reality to confirm what it wants to believe. The more negatively you think, the more examples your mind will discover to confirm that belief. When you truly believe that you deserve success, your mind will generate ways to achieve it. The best way to bring success to yourself is to genuinely desire to create value for the rest of the world.

Developing Tangible Focus
The second motivation killer is a lack of focus. How often do you focus on what you don’t want, rather than on a concrete goal? We normally think in terms of fear. I’m afraid of being poor. I’m afraid no one will respect me. I’m afraid of being alone. The problem with this type of thinking is that fear alone isn’t actionable. Instead of doing something about our fear, it feeds on itself and drains our motivation.
If you’re caught up in fear based thinking, the first step is focusing that energy on a well defined goal. By defining a goal, you automatically define a set of actions. If you have a fear of poverty, create a plan to increase your income. It could be going back to school, obtaining a higher paying job, or developing a profitable website. The key is moving from an intangible desire to concrete, measurable steps.
By focusing your mind on a positive goal instead of an ambiguous fear, you put your brain to work. It instantly begins devising a plan for success. Instead of worrying about the future you start to do something about it. This is the first step in motivating yourself to take action. When know what you want, you become motivated to take action.

Developing Direction
The final piece in the motivational puzzle is direction. If focus means having an ultimate goal, direction is having a day-to-day strategy to achieve it. A lack of direction kills motivation because without an obvious next action we succumb to procrastination. An example of this is a person who wants to have a popular blog, but who spends more time reading posts about blogging than actually writing articles.

The key to finding direction is identifying the activities that lead to success. For every goal, there are activities that pay off and those that don’t. Make a list of all your activities and arrange them based on results. Then make a make an action plan that focuses on the activities that lead to big returns. To continue the example from above, a blogger’s list would look something like this:
1. Write content
2. Research relevant topics
3. Network with other bloggers
4. Optimize design and ad placements
5. Answer comments and email
6. Read other blogs

Keeping track of your most important tasks will direct your energy towards success. Without a constant reminder, it’s easy to waste entire days on filler activities like reading RSS feeds, email, and random web surfing.

When my motivation starts to wane, I regain direction by creating a plan that contains two positive actions. The first one should be a small task you’ve been meaning to do, while the second should be a long-term goal. I immediately do the smaller task. This creates positive momentum. After that I take the first step towards achieving the long-term goal. Doing this periodically is great for getting out of a slump, creating positive reinforcement, and getting long-term plans moving.

It’s inevitable that you’ll encounter periods of low energy, bad luck, and even the occasional failure. If you don’t discipline your mind, these minor speed bumps can turn into mental monsters. By being on guard against the top 3 motivation killers you can preserve your motivation and propel yourself to success.

Spot The Leader!

To identify a good leader, see if he has these 10 essential qualities!!

No organisation can rise above the quality of it's leadership. Because leadership is a position that must be earned day in and day out, there are important personal choices that both new and experienced leaders must make on a regular basis.

Effective leaders are, first and foremost, effective people. Personal ethics cannot be separated from professional ethics. Therefore, the character of the leader is ESSENTIAL.

The following list of 10 characteristics is a valuable guide for quality living, in addition to being an important criteria for leadership.

1. A High Standard of Personal Ethics.
This quality leads the list. Honest Abraham Lincoln, who walks miles to return a customer's change is a classic example of how personal ethics are reflected in professional conduct. Decisions made under pressure and/or temptations separate the great leaders from the impostors.

2. High Energy.
Great leaders are not exhausted from dealing with petty issues. These people know right from wrong as well as the difference between what is truly important and what is merely interesting.

3. Walking The Talk.
The ability to work on priorities shares equal importance with setting priorities. many brilliant priority list end up in the landfill of life. The difference between setting priorities and working on them is the difference between a dreamer and a doer.

4. Courage.
The willingness to take risks and accept responsibility for the outcome is a consistent quality among effective leaders. Either you or your fears will control everything you do. An organisation will be no bolder than the leader.

5. Dedication
Committed and dedicated hardworking leaders will eventually develop dedicated and hardworking organisations, regardless of whom they start with or the experience they bring to the job.

6. Creativity.
Unorthodox leaders have an urge to create and do not have patience to deal with red tape before acting. Effective leaders are innovators who get bored easily and prefer shaping tomorrow to repeating yesterday.

7. Focussed.
Great leaders have the goal orientation to make tough decisions. Goal orientation produces drive and energy that shield them from the pain of the task. Keeping an organisation focussed increases efficiency.

8. Genuine Enthusiasm.
This is contagious. People look to their leaders for enthusiasm. The inspiration level of the organisation is directly proportionate to the enthusiasm of the leader, be it high or low.

9. Cool Under Pressure.
Level headed people make realistic leaders who respond to problems rather than simply react. A leader ho can stay cool under pressure inspires confidence among those in the organisation and empowers them to do the same.

10. Caring.
The desire to help others succeed is the mark of a truly great leader. Synergy is created when a leader truly invest his efforts in the success of others. Motivational speacker Zig Ziglar says: "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care about them."

Whether you are trying to increase your own effectiveness as a leader or are trying to develop leadership talent within your organisation, keep studying the characteristics of those you consider to be great leaders.

Remember that Leadership is a ART, not a Science.

The difference between a genuine effective leader and a short-term motivator can be found in the personal decisions an individual makes when choosing how to liv his life.

Long-term commitment to the principles described above will produce an effective leader and over time, an inspired organisation - source: ST/ANN

These are the Qualities that VXL Leaders must develop 
- to be able to lead and inspire success.

Managers Are Made, Not Born

Companies (Uplines) need to train Managers (Team Leaders) how to handle and motivate their subordinates (Team Members)

Imagine the following scenario:

* You pay a visit to your doctor one day and in the course of the conversation, he lets slip that he has no formal medical qualifications? However, he tells you not to worry because he has been involved in the "doctoring" business for years and has had lots of experience and read several books on the subject.
I bet you would be out of his clinic like a shot.

* You want to employ a car mechanic to look after your company vehicles. One application tells you how good he is at fixing cars and trucks. "Been doing it for years," he says, adding that the only thing is that he has not served as apprenticeship noe has he had any other form of formal training.
Would you give him a job? Of course, you wouldn't.

In network marketing, where the most important and most expensive asset - the team players - have you considered that the primarily goal is to build trust in your team members?

You would have realized how often when familiarizing new team members, that we took the traditional route - getting them to do stuff like planning, name listing, prospecting, problem solving and dealing with objections.

However, none of the above will help your new team member to motivate his new team/ new business.

"Tiger Woods has a natural talent for golf but he has been listening to trainers and coaches for years and he still does."

My question to you is... Would you?

So, if you want to make your life successful at managing people (to achieve MLM success), i suggest you do the same: get the coaching and training you need and keep on learning - be open and be coachable.
