Your income is directly related to your philosophy, NOT the economy.
The most important question to ask on the job is not 'What am I getting?' The most important question to ask on the job is 'What am I becoming?'
If you will change, things will change for you.
It is hard to keep that which has not been obtained through personal development.
Adopt the attitude that everything is negotiable. A world of opportunity will greet you.
If you wish to have power and influence over the many, be faithful (disciplined) when there is just a few. If you have a few employees, a few distributors, a few people, that's the time to stay in touch and be totally absorbed -- when there is just a few.
