Courage!!!!
The other day I had a distributor come to me and poured her heart on the struggles she was having. Not only in her business but in life. She had according to her struggled with enthusiasm for anything, had a hard time getting started with her day, had a hard time making prospecting calls, More importantly she had a hard time believing in herself, believing in her dream, believing that she was worth it . After several minutes of this, she had basically confirmed that she had a lot of fear, it was holding her back, and it\’s been going on for a long time. She went on to tell me she had a tough time asserting herself and that the people around her weren\’t supportive of her goals and dreams. I\’m sure you\’ve felt like this one time in your life and maybe even now. We talked for about 15 minutes and I shared a little bit about the people who I have mentored and worked with over the years who have encountered the same challenges that she was going through. I also shared with her unfortunately the people who love you the most don’t necessarily support you in the achievement of your goals, this is definitely not uncommon particularly in our industry of Network Marketing. Then I specifically talked about one of our million dollar earners who encountered great difficulty with her family when she got started. Everyone in her family thought she was crazy to pursue her dreams. Like her she did not get the support even though her family loved her but they didn\’t know if she ever make it, so they were just protecting her from failure. In her first year in business it was a major struggle stopping and starting, wondering if her family was right, my whole focus with her was to really come with her from every angle using all the tools available to helping her believe in herself. Exposing her to personal development material that would help her, making sure she was attending the company events, conference calls – webinars, and training’s, basically making sure she was “plugged in” fully. Many people on the outside don\’t realize what an entrepreneur really goes through to make his or her mark in this world. All they see is the success a person standing on stage accepting an award, the person who they may think they just had the magic touch or were just lucky. They see the success, but they don\’t see the struggle, the times of lack of belief, the days that they did not want to get up from bed, the times that rejection was all they heard, the days that people closest to them saw the suffering in quiet desperation and told them it was not worth it, the times they had to rebuild over and over again until the team started to grow exponentially. By this time this distributor was intrigued she started to really get focused, We were at the end of our conversation and she asked me, \”Joe, how did she do it, how did she keep going?\” I thought for a second and then I gave her my answer. COURAGE. Yes. COURAGE. You can never give up. You can never stop fighting for what you want in your heart. You can never listen to naysayers. YOU have to have the COURAGE to live your dreams. It takes COURAGE. The REWARD goes to those to take the RISK and keep moving forward. You and I both know YOU have it inside of you to create a masterpiece with your life in Network Marketing. You just might need to have a little more courage, right? Listen, I have fear also. Everybody does. The game is having the COURAGE to go through it. The Courage to make the commitment that you will never quit, never think about quitting. The Courage to do what it takes all the time, each and every day. When I received an email from her last night, she thanked me for reminding her that what she needed was a little bit more COURAGE. She needed to BELIEVE in herself just a little bit more. She needed to work on her self more with more personal self development. She needed to understand you do not attract what you want, you attract who you are. She needed to commit a little bit more, and she needed to go “all in” to the business. You\’re going to accomplish great things. It might not be easy, but with courage, perseverance and knowledge, you will do amazing things, won\’t you? One of my favourite quotes by the Great Og Mandino really puts it into perspective “Mediocrity is easy. Achieving greatness takes different skills which require courage.” Commit to take one ACTION today with your business that will move YOU closer to your dreams. Commit to be an inspiration to your team to your family. Be a difference maker in this great industry of Network Marketing Do it now. When You fall in LOVE with your DREAM it becomes Greater than your Fears thus you can accomplish anything.
Who is Whispering in YOUR EAR???
Many years ago I had a defining moment in my NM career which changed everything for me. It was so clear to me, if I wanted to change personally where I was financially, my lifestyle, my relationships, I needed to do this! I stopped taking financial advice from people that were broke. I stopped taking advice from people who never build a serious residual income in 1 company for more than 5 years. I did not care if a person went to the top of 5 different companies in 10 years, I wanted to build a long term walkaway business with 1 company… I stopped getting health tips from unhealthy people. I stopped taking relationship advice from people with toxic or boring relationships and I stopped looking for spiritual guidance from people that couldn’t demonstrate to me that they were attracting what they were preaching. It sounds pretty simple doesn’t it? But take a look at how often you take advice from people who don’t walk the talk. How many times have we seen people in our industry get excited when they started their business only to quit a few days later because they spoke to their broke family member who never had any history of success in business. How many times have we seen so called leaders tell people they have found a home as part of their marketing story and a year later they found another home and then another home or that they have hit the greatest company in the world, greatest compensation plan for the umpteen time… I follow the rule that “if they don’t SHOW it, they don’t KNOW it” and I learned to stay away from these people like they had the plague particularly when I was trying to establish myself in the industry of Network Marketing. We certainly have an epidemic in the business world where people are professing that they are the experts, they have learned to brand themselves real well. I am all for branding yourself it is good marketing strategy, but keep in mind be careful who you are taking advice from. Instead, I found people who had manifested what I desired and ask them for help. These are what we call mentors. It is critical in the business world, particularly in Network Marketing to have a coach/mentor. When You surround yourself with the best you become the best. The best part of the “advice” I am giving you right now is that you can prove this to yourself! Have a super Day Sending your great blessings of Prosperity and Abundance…, Joe Garcia
Creating Results in your LIFE!!!!
A Couple of years into my Network Marketing career I stumbled upon a defining moment in my business that changed everything I realized instead of gearing my coaching and mentoring in teaching just the basics I started to focus on helping people raise their consciousness. When people in your organization raise their consciousness they will always figure out how to do the rest. When you have a team that is focused on personal development and you build that within your culture great things start to happen. A community of greatness will spread like a wildfire. Here is the challenge in this process is most people habitually are focused in the \”rear view mirror\” which prevents them from growing their Conscious level. It\’s like bending a hose the water will never flow, this is what happens to your success energy if you don\’t break through this destructive habit. Focusing on the way you want your life to be when things are not going your way in the present moment, is not the easiest thing to do. But if you have the determination to focus your attention especially in your business as your want it to be, rather than as it is, your income will change dramatically. When one understands this power of focus on today in the moment you will begin to notice the universe will start to respond to your desires, little coincidences that are not a coincidence appear you will then start to let go of everything and anything that is not part of your new vibration which is your focus/Your DREAM.. I can clearly go back into my life and see life changing moments for me where when I got in this mindset I let go of grudges, mistakes ,ex business partners, complaints, ill wishes, bad behaviour etc… At this point you will start searching for the things that serve you, you will come up with great new ideas, your thoughts will build momentum which will be evidence of the new you!!!! The greatest blessings I have received in my NM career is the number of countries I have visited (more than 50 now) probably have trained into the hundreds of thousands, these experiences have really led me to believe we are here to create as Creations of God and we are definitely worthy of every idea that comes to US. God Does not make JUNK!!! There is no greater creator than you and no greater reason to create than the things you desire in your life. Believe me the closer you get to your \”source\” which expands when you Fall in Love with your DREAM, the Greater Joy you will experience in your Life. So your source your internal guidance system, holy spirit whatever you want to call it will tell you that you are off track by how you feel. My desire and my passion is to help others think enough of themselves to feel good and do whatever it takes to feel good, that way you will have the ability to manifest your DREAM fast despite whatever is happening around you. With every thought you think and with every desire you give birth to the universe expands. And it is only through your joyous quest that all is possible. God Does Not Make Junk!!!! I love to hear some feedback on this post it is a little deeper that I wanted to get. I hope this resonates with you at the highest level and you follow your path to JOY, abundance, Prosperity…..

Interview
In early 2014 I was interviewed by one of Europe’s top selling business magazines Money/Profit Magazine the article was featured in their October 2014 issue. The following is the transcript from the interview. Enjoy!!! – Your company is successful, operating globally. What is the recipe how to do good business? Well this is a question that I certainly cannot do justice in just a few lines. Ultimately a successful business is operated by a person who definitely understands right to the detail what they want. From my experience this is 90% of the work. When one understands what they want in great detail and spends majority of that focus on this eventually they will achieve what they want! This is the starting point of all achievement. – Some publications say that system of Network marketing is unique because man could succeed only by helping the others. What is truthful on it? Network Marketing is the essence of capitalism, in the corporate world in upper management your goal is to keep your job or better yet get a promotion which usually means you are taking someones job. When training your subordinates you definitely are not encouraged to teach them all you know because they may end up taking your job. In Network Marketing the goal is to develop a high performance team by helping others achieve by teaching them all you know and if you don’t have the ability yet there will be business partners in the system that will help and duplicate this process. Unlike the corporate world you want to have people in your team surpass your skill sets, become better than you because this will mean you will make alot more money. So you see the more people who achieve in your team the more money you will make, this is why I stated that Network Marketing is the essence of Captailism. – You travel around the world. How do you harmonize the professional life with the personal life? I love this question due to the fact that this is an area that many business professionals, entrepreneurs etc… struggle with. One of the great assets of the Network Marketing industry is our focus on Personal Development, I understood when I started in the industry for me to make more money, to reach my goals and dreams I needed to get better. I needed to spend my time on what will help me on a daily basis to achieve my dreams. So I immersed myself into self help books and cd programs which allowed me overtime to get to a conscious level which helped me in balancing my time. Don’t get me wrong this is an area that you consistently need to work on especially a person like myself who is always focusing on getting better and helping more people around the globe. One of the things that I have done over the years when I have travelled is have my family join me which is all part of this balance. – Who is the inspiration for you? Why? I really don’t have that 1 person that has inspired me, I am a great people watcher and I have taken great things from people who have inspired me in their own little way and applied it into my life. For example my father who has battled diabetes and won due to his incredible daily discipline which never wavers, my business partner Dan Catto www.dancatto.com who was my first mentor in the industry inspired me by his great attitude and work ethic. My wife Margaret for her selfless devotion to me and our kids., I can go on and on. – It is rumoured, that more successful man has more work and therefore less time. Is it true for you? I can see that happening in many industries the great part of my Network Marketing Global business I get paid whether or not I work. My business does not depend on me, due to the fact I have built a massive business that pays me residual income. So I can take a month off, and not worry about employees, business headaches, etc… that you would have in a traditional business. When you develop the necessary skills in our industry which takes time, the lifestyle due to the residual income I make is like no other, this is called total freedom. – What is relax for you? One of my other passions is coaching soccer I have been doing this for 13 years. I also play soccer competitively and other sports. Spending time with my family is definitely 1 of my priorities so as a family we love to travel, I find this so relaxing uplifting and it definitely recharges my batteries. – To catch the costumer´s attention is more and more difficult. What works the best in today´s world? It is important today as a marketer, business person that you need to focus on solving problems for your customers and future potential customers. When you learn to do this effectively this will definitely seperate you from your competition. For example I have a friend of mine who took over his family’s floundering jewelry business. So he came to me for some help. Since my friend was a diamond expert I had shared with him that he should start a course in teaching people everything he knows about diamonds. He was so concerned over the business going bankrupt he could not see how this would help the business. I told him to trust me. Starting from a room in the back of the store he had a few people show up the first week, by the 4th week it grew to 30 people by the 6th month he had to hold the course in Hotel rooms. Well to make a long story short, due to the fact he was offering his course and sharing his expertise for free he started to build trust, the word started to spread and when
Why are so many of us struggling?
Why are so many of us struggling? Because we have forgotten WHO WE ARE. Who we are is our True Self that is always connected and one with Source Energy (God). On the other hand, who we THINK we are is how we show up in life. If we are struggling we will never be who we are. Let that sink in for a moment. Who we THINK we are comes from listening to other people rather than listening to ourselves. Earlier on in my career before I truly considered myself as a leader, I believed what others told me to believe. I learned early that what other people think of me is more important that what I think of myself. At least this is what I thought. Living on purpose and working towards your goals and dreams is about focusing on WHO YOU ARE and what you can do in this moment. It is not about who you are not, what you cannot do, and what you don\’t have. WHO YOU ARE is everything. It is the ONLY thing that really matters because everything hinges on your ability to be yourself and to do that you must become intimately aware of the false beliefs you have about yourself and about the way life works. When you live focused on your dreams and goals You are connected with Source Energy you know you already have what you need. People who live this way are more than just positive thinkers – they are attraction in action. They accept life is not always easy and doesn\’t always follow a straight and convenient path. They let life unfold through them instead of putting their life into a box of expectations. Your greatness is not dependent upon anything you accomplish. You don\’t need to prove anything to anyone – even yourself. I am here to tell you one thing – you and everyone that comes in contact with you are already great. To live your greatness, you must know WHO YOU ARE and you must do what you can do in THIS MOMENT. Nothing else is required. When you come to this awareness you will be unstoppable.
