• Network marketing requires an upbeat, enthusiastic person who will in turn attract others seeking their own well-being. • Attrition is a basic fact in the network marketing industry.

• The disappointment about those who fail to show up at meetings or, worse, those who quit, can be alleviated by putting your energy into approaching a greater number of new prospects.

• Don't waste your energy supporting those who resist you; just think "next!" and move on.

• Work with the people who show an interest and will keep your spirits up.

To change your attitude and eliminate depression, we encourage you to:

1. Avoid watching or reading the news.

2. Read uplifting books.

3. Listen to inspiring tapes.

4. Only speak and think to yourself in a positive, uplifting manner.

5. Recall positive emotional experiences from the past.

6. Focus on the future, not on past disappointments that limit your possibilities.

7. Set goals and use affirmations to reach those goals on a regular basis. Striving to visualize ourselves as we want to be is the first step toward change and growth.

8. Avoid negative people or at least negotiate with them to avoid acting negatively around you.

• Don't ever give up on your goals. • An affirmation is a trigger tool—a positive statement of belief, written and repeated as if the goal were already an accomplished fact.

• As you visualize the new—believing ardently that what you visualize is happening to you at that very moment—you gradually begin to shed the old; it is then that change begins to occur.

• As many as 95 percent of those who remain in this industry for ten years or longer, working steadily at building their groups, reach the highest pay level in their respective companies—so just don't quit!

• If you feel like quitting, call upline for support and encouragement.

• Share your enthusiasm, never your negativity, with your downline.

• In order for professionals to be successful in network marketing, they must be willing to use their reputations and credibility toward building their business. Denying their commitment to their warm markets will only set themselves up for failure.

• These are the reasons to be proud and optimistic about sharing our business with others:

1. We have the only entrepreneurial home business with no upside limits and no serious downside risks.

2. Total time freedom goes hand in hand with the wealth and prosperity we achieve.

3. By working diligently in the beginning, we can ultimately have a stress-free life. Better to trade in the traditional forty-year plan for a new Four-Year Plan.

4. Recognition and travel await all those who are successful in building a network organization.

5. In our industry, recognition is derived from things in life that truly matter, such as helping people make their lives work.

6. Global travel often involves bonding with new friends and sharing exciting cultural experiences with them—adventures beyond the grasp of those caught in the fortyyear plan.

• If you attempt to recruit others while in a state of depression, your efforts will be futile.

• You alone have control over your attitude. If you exercise that control, adjusting your attitude from the inside, then your outward behavior will naturally follow.
