Achieve your goals.

How to have a prosperity mindset for success. When you create the right mindset the path will appear. Develop the mindset and the rest will take care of itself.

1. Eliminate the victim welfare mentality. You need to have the mentality that you control your own destiny.

2. Recognize jealousy and envy mentality. This kind of mentality will keep you down. Don't let yourself enjoy seeing people being brought down including very successful people.

3. Understand the difference between the finite and the infinite. You would not hoard love fearing that you would run out of love if you gave away too much. Love, happiness, health as well as money are infinite. Know that you are more worthy than all the money in the world and let the Creator take care of the rest. He who created the world in 6 days can definitely bring the abundance that you deserve into your life.

4. Conciously select your mentors and your influences. You will become like the people who you associate with.

5. Expose yourself to abundance environments by going to empowering events and seminars as well as get togethers with uplifting and empowering people.

6. You promote yourself as program director of media events. Meaning you only allow things into your mind that will help to improve you. Most of what is in the media whether it be newspapers, books, TV or movies will only bring you down.

7. Make a serious and dedicated commitment to self development.

Success Tips

1. One quality of a person who achieves their goals is the ability to never give up. Everyone who has achieved anything in life has gone through challenges and has felt like quitting. It is easy to quit. Most people quit and that is why most people don't ever achieve success. When you feel like giving up simply remember why you are building your business. See yourself as a success. Remember that this too shall pass. You have everything you need inside of you to succeed. Write down a goal and then the small steps that it will take to achieve it. Step by step you will get to where you want to go. Don't let anyone steal your dreams!

2. For success you need to be a product of the product. How can you share with others when you are not regularly using the products? The more of the products you use and the longer you use them, you will definitely see results. There is no better product line for wellness than Young Living's. I encourage you to try a different product each month. Find out which ones work best for you. Everyone is different. Your most important asset is your health. It is much less expensive to prevent problems than to try and cure. Take care of your body and it will take care of you.

3. For more success become a sponge. What do I mean by that? To become better you need to learn and the best way to do that is to become a sponge. Soak up all you can about our wonderful profession, about how to become a better you, about how to communicate with others, about Young Living, and about our fantastic products. The more you learn the better you will do in your business. Plus as you learn and grow you will gain so much self confidence. As I heard one person say you will become "Ten feet tall and bulletproof".

4. There is great power in belief. To have success you want to develop a deep belief in yourself. That you can succeed. That you have a right to succeed. That you deserve to succeed. You also need to develop a deep belief in your business. The belief that our product line is the very best product line in the world for wellness. The belief that what we have is the very best way for people to develop a growing monthly income so that they can have real security and freedom. If you don't truly believe, you won't have success. Whether you believe that you can or you believe that you can't, you are right.

5. Seeing what you want to become before it happens is called vision. Successful people can see and feel what it will be like to succeed far before they have achieved their goals. In fact they already feel like they have achieved their goals. Your subconcious mind does not know the difference between reality and make believe. Whatever you want to accomplish take time to visualize what you will be like once you have achieved that goal. See how you will be talking and acting and feeling once you have achieved your goal and start to talk and act and feel like that right now. There is great power in positive emotions so the feeling part is especially important. By doing this it will help you to accomplish your goals more quickly.

6. Many people get discouraged when people say "no' to them when it comes to our great products or our wonderful business. It will help if you look at "no" differently. Be thankful when someone says "no". Now some people might say, "Barb are you crazy!". Well just think about it. There are many people out there that if they said "yes" they would end up being such a headache and a big drain on you. Here are some examples:

* Someone expects instant results so they try one of our products and the next day don't notice anything so they never use it again and simply bad mouth us to others.

* Someone signs up for our business and then expects the money to start rolling in. When it doesn't they constantly contact you whining.

* Someone signs up and is just so excited and is ready to really work towards success and then the next day has totally forgotten why they signed up.

* Someone signs up but the next day finds something just a little bit more exciting so joins that program too. Then the next day sees something else and joins that program too.

Can you see how someone saying "no" to you isn't so bad? We aren't looking for everyone just the ones who "get it".

7. For success you need to have a strong "why". Why are you doing this as a business? You want your "why" tied to some very strong and deep emotions. In any business there are ups and downs. Your strong "why" will keep you going during the tough times. Your "why" will give you that deep desire, determination and persistence that are necessary for success. So many people quit right before they probably would have turned the corner and started to succeed. I once met a woman who because she introduced her opportunity to a certain individual she was making a six figure yearly income. Remember it is always darkest before the dawn.

8. For success you need to do what you want people who you sponsor to do. One key element to success is being on the Essential Rewards program. Not only do you save on shipping but you are getting the very best products for wellness each month and you are getting credits for free products. Once you start on the Essential Rewards program you don't want to quit. Why? If you have been on it say for a year you are at the 25% level. That means that you accrue 25% of your PV for your autoship in free product points. Say you drop out of the Essential Rewards program for a month. You then will have to start all over again when you go back on the program. This means that you can't use your credits for two months and you are back at 10%. So if you drop out of the program it's like throwing money away. In network marketing we are a team. We work together to help everyone succeed. When my order is processed each month this is what it means to me. I will be getting the very best products. I am supporting one of the very best companies in the world, Young Living. I am helping everyone on my team above me with my volume. By not ordering it could mean that someone else misses out on a new level that they have been working hard to achieve. It could make the difference between Young Living hitting a new sales record for that month. When I order it is so much more than just ordering products. Plus I am so well aware that prevention is much less expensive than getting sick and trying to cure.

9. For success don't try to convince people. If someone has an objection, you can share information with them but the only person who will be able to change that person's mind is themselves. Whatever someone believes to be true is their truth even if it is wrong. That is why it is so important to constantly look at what you believe because it could be holding you back from achieving what you really want. I believe that network marketing is the greatest business in the world. It is the best way to set people free and it doesn't matter what background they come from. I have often heard that network marketing is hard. Network marketing isn't hard it is simple. It may not be easy but it is simple. You use your own products, you share with others and you can have a check sent to you every month. Pretty simple. To me hard is being in the military fighting in a war or living in a part of the world where I have to worry about my area being bombed on any given day or having to wonder where my next meal will come from or being paralyzed. Those are things that are hard. Network marketing is simple. Remember that the only difference between you and people who have achieved great success with Young Living is that they have shared Young Living with more people. The only thing that is different between successful people and unsuccessful people is what they do and how they think and the exciting part is that we have control over both of these things.

10. In striving for success have fun! This is a wonderful business that we are in that can change peoples lives in all sorts of ways. Set a goal today of how many people you are going to share Young Living with. When you hit your goal put that number of marbles in a jar. Do this every day. Have a reward for yourself when you fill up the jar. Network marketing is all about sharing and caring and having fun in the process. If you come across this way to other people then people will be more likely to join you.

11. Much of success has to do with what you say and also what you don't say. I listened to a CD that had some interesting advice. The company has done numerous studies on words and phrases that appealed to people and that turned people off. According to them you definitely want to stay away from using the term "opportunity". You want to stay with home based business. Don't use hype like "you'd be perfect for this" or "you're going to get rich". Focus on other people and what they want rather than saying "me" or "I". People are attracted to terms like greatness, destiny, and lifestyle. A good phrase to use is "true wealth". People also really like the words hope and commitment. People respond better to "transform" rather than "change". People see "change" as a negative. People like the words "multiply" and "accelerate". I hope these tips help you in attracting the right people to your business so that more people can achieve success.

12. For success you want to share this business with as many people as possible as quickly as possible. The more you share the more success you will have. There is great power in massive action. Think of it this way. Say someone put 30 envelopes in front of you and told you that in one of those envelopes was a check for $10,000. How fast would you open those envelopes? Probably pretty fast. You would be tearing through the envelopes to find the one with all the money. That's how it is with prospecting. Share this business and products with as many people as possible every day. People will fall in one of three groups. They will not be interested at all. They will become a customer and use the products and most likely end up sharing their great results with others. This sometimes turns these customers into distributors down the road. Or a person will see how amazing our business is and will join as a distributor. If someone says "no" simply ask if you can follow up with them in the future to see how they are doing. If they say "yes" simply contact them a couple of times a year. No one knows what lies ahead in the future. Someone can say "no" today and a year or two from now say "yes". They will appreciate that you cared enough to follow up with them. Don't do it more than a couple of times a year because you don't want to seem desperate. Just to give you an example of the power of just finding a few good people, the owners of one of the first network marketing companies only signed up 5 people and that led to a billion dollar company!

13. For success pretend that you paid a million dollars for your Young Living business. If you really did pay this amount how would you treat your business? What would you do everyday? Because of the low cost to start a business with Young Living many people don't really treat it like a business. There are things that you need to do consistently. If they don't pay off right away they will eventually pay off. This is not something that you "try". You need to have the fortitude to be willing to work this business until you succeed and believe that you will succeed. For example someone who has become very successful in network marketing is Tom Schreiter. For the first two years he was involved in network marketing he attended every company function and meeting and he regularly prospected and made follow-up calls. He purchased his companies products every month. After these two years he had no retail customers and no distributors. Tom said that he never quit because no one told him he could. Tom later went on to build an organization of over 100,000 distributors. Had he done what most would have done and quit too soon, it would have never happened. Network marketing is the greatest business in the world and Young Living is the very best company in network marketing!

Transformational living. Take your life to a whole new level! Things that have helped me and just might help you.

1. Every day I work on my relationship with God. To get closer to God. Every morning I pray for God's guidance and that I am open to His guidance. I try always to remember that no matter what happens God is in control and things will always turn out for what is best for me. If ever there was a company guided by God I believe it is Young Living.

2. Two things that have held me back in the past from achieving my goals were lack of belief in myself and fear. Over the years I have worked really hard on these two areas. Working on believing in me. That I am created in the image of God. God is within me. I was put on this earth for a purpose and that with God ALL things are possible. Most things that I have feared I have found were just due to negative talking that I did to myself. Most of the things I feared were simply not true and never came to be. These two things hold so many people back from being all that they can be and realizing all of the wonderful things that life has in store for them. Two things that really helped in this area were working on my thinking and how I talked to myself and using essential oils to release negative emotions.

3. Something that has really helped me is the concept of living simply. Most things that you think you just can't live without you really don't need and things don't make you happy no matter what advertisers try to tell you. When you clear out the clutter and really come to understand wants versus needs you will be so much happier and you will see how you can live comfortably on so much less. Most people think that they own their things but in reality the things own them especially if they look at all of their bills. I love a story that I read. I don't believe the story is a true one. A holy man came to the United States from Tibet. His host decided that one thing that he wanted this man to see to try and impress him was a super Walmart so he took this holy man to one in his neighborhood and as he showed the holy man through the isles he asked the holy man what he thought about all of the items in this store. The holy man said that he was thanking God that he did not need any of these things. I love that story! Try living more simply and see how much happier you are.

4. Living consciously with a conscience has had a positive impact on my life. Our beliefs come from things we see, things we read and people we surround ourselves with. Beliefs control our lives. They control what we do. What if some of the beliefs that you have, that have been controlling your life for decades, have been wrong? So many people go through life on autopilot, like a zombie. They believe a certain way and are never willing to take a look at those beliefs and if they really serve them. That is why I constantly look at what I believe and why. I also look at my habits and if they are not helping me to get to where I want to go I work step by step on changing them. I read a sentence that has had a profound affect on me. It is "Do the best thing for people first, money second, and things last." This has really helped me to have the proper perspective. So many people live for money and things. People are what are important and at the end of our lives it is the relationships that we have built and what we have done to help others that will matter. We came into this world with nothing and that is how we will leave but our legacy will be what we have done to improve this world one person at a time.

5. Something that has really helped me is always searching for the truth. So many people believe whatever they are told or see and so often it simply is not true. You won't have much success in any area of your life if what you are doing is built on lies. Searching for the truth in wellness as well as in the very best home based business led me to Young Living. I had researched many hundreds of programs but they all had problems. Young Living is a company of such integrity that puts people first. I oftentimes watch documentaries on lots of different topics because these often have information that you won't see other places. One thing that I have done is to stop watching the mainstream media which is filled with lies.

6. A few years ago I read where someone had said that they got rid of their television. At the time I thought that they were crazy. I was a typical TV watcher. I didn't watch for hours on end but I usually watched at least a couple of hours a day. Well over the past few years I have been a lot more conscious of what goes into my brain and what I spend my time on. We only have so much time on this planet and I have really worked on making the most of each and every day. As I looked at what I was watching I realized most of it was a complete waste of time and definitely not benefiting me. I can now say without a doubt that I could live without a TV. Try reducing your TV watching and replace that time with doing things that really add value to your life. You will see how much better you feel and how much more you can accomplish. You will also have a much more positive outlook on life. I don't believe that anyone on their deathbed ever said that they wished they had spent more time watching TV.

7. At one time in my life I was swimming in debt. I almost lost my home and was on the verge of living out of my car. I know what it's like to have the huge black cloud of debt hanging over you. I know what it's like to be afraid of answering the phone for fear of some nasty bill collector calling you at all hours. I had to make some major changes to become debt free but it was so worth it. I really looked at how I lived and the mistakes that I had made. I sat down and really thought about what was important to me. I realized that to end the slavery of debt was necessary to really enjoy life. To get rid of debt I sold things and I realized that the things really weren't that important. Also as I paid off a bill I took the amount I had used on that bill and added to the amount for the next lowest bill to get rid of it more quickly. Being able to live without debt, there is nothing like it. Anything worthwhile takes effort and sacrifice but it is so worth it. I kept the picture in my mind of what my life would be like when I reached the other side. I can definitely say that going through this helped me to permanently be able to stay debt free. That is why I share Young Living with as many people as possible every day. It can be just what someone is praying for to help them to have real freedom and security. I have found that oftentimes when you have more money you tend to waste more. So to conquer this I have a monthly contest with my husband. Each day if one of us has spent money that we really shouldn't have we write it down. At the end of the month the person who has wasted less money wins. The prize usually isn't anything major but it's the idea of winning and that we did something really good for ourselves in not wasting. It also makes us more concious of where our money is going. A really good saying is "Waste not, want not."

8. For a long time I had a problem with control. I liked to try to control everything, especially other people. It was really frustrating and maddening because it just was not possible. Most people cannot control themselves let alone other people. I have learned that it is far better to be kind to others than to be right and to simply allow others to fix their problems rather than me trying to help them out of their problems. Many people really don't want to fix their problems even though they may say that they do. Actions always speak louder than words. I may know what the other person needs but until they are ready it just won't do any good. I listen more to others now and am available if they need my help but I don't offer advice because I realize that most people won't use it anyway. I would love to help others become better but I have learned that each person has to do it for themselves. Each day I focus on me and trying to be the very best me I can be to glorify God. The emotional essential oils have really helped me in this area.

9. When I first joined Young Living I believed in the products in my mind but my actions were not following my beliefs. I became a distributor meaning that I now had a business but obviously there was a disconnect because I was not taking full advantage of what my business had to offer. What helped to raise my belief level was adopting the Young Living lifestyle. Falling head over heels into Young Living. Putting my heart 100% into the product line. I have done lots and lots of reading and I continue to do so to keep on learning about the products. The more I learn the more I can help others. I use almost all of the products and using more and more of the products has had such a dramatic and positive impact on my life. I use the essential oils on me, I inhale them daily, I diffuse them as well as take some interally in capsules. I use the Thieves products. I use the personal care. I use the supplements. Most of my meals include Power Meal and Balance Complete. To me it made no sense to be using the wonderful essential oils or supplements and then using a toxic personal care product or cleaning product from another company. By becoming a part of the Young Living lifestyle it has helped me to see so much more why nothing else compares to Young Living. I encourage you to take your life to a whole new level by adopting the Young Living lifestyle. You won't regret it. As a side benefit I always get the free products offered each month as well as get lots of points to use to get even more free products. Oftentimes I use the free products each month as gifts which saves me even more money and for the past few years I have never been sick which to me is priceless!

10. For so long I had a problem with food addictions. In fact they have controlled me most of my life. Any addiction is bad but when it deals with food it is especially bad because you need to eat to live. Also food is very social. When I first told my family and my husbands family that I had changed my ways of eating, such as not eating meat any longer, you would have thought that I had just come from another planet. But I knew that I had to do what was best for me. Emotions always play a big part in any addiction so dealing with those emotions and using the essential oils really helped alot. Also making sure that I was getting all of the nutrition that I needed by using the supplements and Ningxia Red helped the cravings to literally vanish. When I decided to put an end to the things that I thought I loved, in my case milk chocolate and pizza, it was almost like dealing with a death. Food throughout most of my life had always been there for me. Even when people let me down I knew that I could always rely on food for comfort. However, I knew that the food was like a friend who would smile at you and then when you turned away would stab you in the back. I always had such negative feelings after eating, promising over and over again that I would never do it again only to repeat the same bad habit again. When I decided to give up the food that I knew was really bad for me it was almost like dealing with a death because the food had been with me most all of my life so I had to deal with the feelings of grief and loss. Things may be hard to do but it is so worth it when you see and feel the results. Essential oils are so profound in helping to deal with emotional problems which keep so many people stuck where they really don't want to be. It takes time but I believe that with the oils any negative programming can be overcome. The other aspect I needed to deal with was self love which especially the Joy oil helped with. I can't thank Young Living enough for what it has done for me and that is a big reason why I share every day with others. Young Living can transform peoples lives if they let it.

11. For far too long I had a problem with taking things personally. It took a lot of work but I now don't let what people do and say bother me as much as it used to. I have come to realize that what people say and do has very little to do with me and is all about them. Where they are coming from, what they believe, what they have gone through in life. I have no control over what others do or say so it rarely bothers me much. People will judge you. They will make assumptions about you. But most of what many people think is simply not based on fact. People choose what they want to believe whether it is right or wrong. This has taken a really long time to get to but it makes you feel so much better and releases you from the control that we let others have over us. This goes hand in hand with caring about what other people think. This was a big problem for me and one that kept me in a prison of my own making due to the fear of rejection. It has taken quite awhile to have the light of truth shine in this area for me. That someone's opinion really doesn't matter. How often have you had an opinion and at a later time changed your opinion. I know that I have changed how I thought about things as I have gone through life. As the saying goes "Opinions are worth a dime a dozen". However anyone thinks is how they think and that is fine. But it does not affect me anymore like it once did. I do what I feel is best for me and to glorify God. When we try to please everyone else it is like being a ping pong. Back and forth, back and forth but never feeling like you are living the life you are supposed to. When you are able to fully deal with these two issues it will be like you have been released from a jail cell. It is so freeing! The emotional essential oil blends really help when dealing with issues.

12. Something that really holds people back is thinking that they can get something for nothing. It's also called the lottery mentality. Did you know that wealthy people don't buy lottery tickets? People who are successful know that anything worthwhile takes effort. You need to believe with expectancy that your dreams will come true and that they will come true when the time is right. I have had many people join Young Living that signed up and then didn't do anything. They didn't order and they never asked for help. I often wonder what the heck that person was expecting. To just sign up and magically money would start flowing into their bank account? I believe that beyond a shadow of a doubt I will be Crown Diamond one day. I don't know when but I believe it will happen. I have learned that dreams can take a lot of work. There is no free lunch but if you keep after what you are wanting to achieve you can make it. I know that I will keep sharing Young Living as long as I have breath in me because there is nothing else that compares. It is the second best thing to share with others. What's number one? How awesome God is. Some of the essential oils that really help in this area are Awaken, Believe, Common Sense, Dream Catcher, Envision, and Highest Potential.

13. Something that I used to do quite often was to blame others for my problems. I learned that taking responsibility, no matter what happened, put me in control rather than being a victim. It is a choice to be a victim or not to be a victim. There is always something that we can do to change things for the better. We have no control over many things in life but we do have control over what we think, what we say and how we act. It is empowering to take control and to not simply react to what is going on around us. I really try to watch what I say, only speaking what I want to happen. What we say can be self-fulfilling. Wishing is another trap that you want to stay away from. It is easy to sit around and wish for things or people to get better or to wish for people to join our business but that isn't going to make anything happen. So many people have wished their lives away. Wishing things in the past had been better. Wishing that today was different. Wishing that tomorrow will be wonderful. Wishing is just a waste of time. A few of the oil blends that have really helped me in this area are Present Time, Motivation and Believe.

14. When I was able to figure out an exercise program that I could stick with it was such a positive influence in my life. I have always worked out but sometimes I just couldn't motivate myself to do it on a regular basis. It would get boring and I am not the kind of person to usually do workout DVDs. So over the years I have tried many, many different things. Many of them were a complete waste and many just did not work. I don't enjoy working out at the gym, I would much rather workout at home and fit it into my schedule. Waiting in line at a gym for a piece of equipment while a whole bunch of people are waiting in line while you workout just is not enjoyable to me. Plus I am not real keen on placing my hands on equipment where a multitude of people have sweated. So I encourage you to find what you can stick with. Something that you are motivated to do on a regular basis. Something that works for you. Our bodies are meant to be in motion. So much of the health problems people have are because they sit too much. Exercising will not only have a positive impact on you physically but also mentally and emotionally. I always feel good after exercising. It's a wonderful way to get the blood flowing. There are four components to exercise that you will want to include on a regular basis. They are balance, stretching, resistance training and cardio. One of the most effective workouts is interval training where you speed up for a minute then slow down for a couple of minutes then speed up again. You don't have to workout for a really long time either. Just 15 minutes in the morning and then 15 minutes again later in the day will work just fine but be sure that you really put forth effort.

15. Eating organic live foods mainly raw has really had a major impact on how I feel. Most of what you see in the typical grocery store is not food. It is a bunch of chemicals made in a laboratory. Our bodies can only function properly when we give it what it needs to thrive. That includes vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, sprouts, legumes and whole grains. Heat kills nutrients so it is best to eat a majority of your food raw. When I switched to this type of eating I noticed a major improvement in how I felt, in my mood and in my energy level. Whenever I slipped back to processed food I could really tell a difference and over time I was able to eliminate the processed junk. That is why it is so important to really be conscious of how you feel after you eat something. Your body will tell you what it wants you to put into it and what to stay away from. Young Living has some wonderful products in the area of raw food which include Balance Complete, JuvaPower, Ningxia Red and the Wolfberry Crisp Bars. I encourage you to incorporate them into your daily life and you will really see a difference. Concentrated raw nutrition packs a powerful punch when it comes to good health and growing younger.

16. At one time I had a really hard time with self discipline. I was kind of lazy. Something that will really transform your life is doing things that you know you should do but don't feel like doing. It is really easy to procrastinate. I have used the oils such as Inspiration and Present Time to help me in this area. I see so many people who look like adults but are really simply big kids inside. We are told no so often when we are kids that I think many as soon as they become adults go crazy and forget that they need to continue to tell themselves no more often. Entitlement is a big problem in society. I make a list each day of the most important things I need to do. I may not want to do the things at the top of the list but when I get them done I feel so much better and have a real sense of accomplishment. Self discipline will help you achieve so much more in life and it actually is a great way to set yourself free. If we don't take control of our lives someone else will who does not care as much as we should.
