I just read a great article on the 7 Essential Design Elements for Great Business Blogs, by Denise Wakeman.
Being an interior designer by profession, I understand how everything begins with a great design, and the people who help you create it, even with Social Media and creating a great Blog.
Designing the creative aspects of a business is just as important as how something looks. As in the article, presentation is key to you attracting success and knowing how to set it all up.
Everyone seems to think a Designer only knows how to make things look good. But that’s only one aspect of the necessary talents a designer needs to be successful.
Being successful is about translation and interpreting the variables which leads to outcome and results. How you get there, can be filled with many obstacles and problems if you don’t know what your doing and who’s doing it for you.
You must know how to quickly change course and re-direct to accomplish your outcome. This is why your resources, the people you can depend on, are so very important to the success of their business.
Your reputation is built on your pass successes, so you better make sure you approach every project with the utmost integrity and you associate with high quality people.
I always believe, you are judged by the company you associate with. Whatever your profession is, always align yourself with high quality people. I believe this is your top priority.
When it comes to design, sometimes it’s not entirely about what something looks like, but more importantly, how to create it with the right coaches and mentors to bring about your own skill sets.
I’ve come across many talented designers in all aspects of my businesses. Many in the interior design, home business development, and online attraction marketing.
Names like Tom Challan, Jerry C. Chen, Emma Tiebens, Michael Klingler, Jorge Bueno, Mike Dillard, Mark Wieser, and Todd Falcone are the best of best, who create great results. These are designers who are architects of career advancement.
Don’t get me wrong here, designers are trained to make things look good or to direct you to an expected outcome. Sometimes a designer will be all about mentoring or coaching. Sometimes it’s about creating something that looks great.
Design does have a purpose and if it’s done properly, with the right designer, it can showcase who you are and most importantly the passions of your life!

Here we go……..
“Only YOU Can Stop YOU” by Mark Wieser
How successful will you be in your network marketing business six months from now?
Will you be making…
$500 a month? A thousand?
Ten thousand? More … ?
What will you do to get there?
Will you “do the best you can,”
OR… will you do even better?
Know this: the “best you can” today is far from the best you’re capable of.
That’s why my attitude’s driven not by what I think I’m capable of “today” but what I know I’ll be capable of “tomorrow.”
Here’s why:
We grow into success. And that means that the only real limits you & I face in this industry are the one’s we impose on ourselves (or allow others to impose upon us).
It’s not enough to think or “hope” you can. You have to make a decision to “know you can,” and let that drive the action you take on a daily basis.
Consider famed magician David Blaine…
In stunt after stunt, he’s faced down and conquered the seemingly impossible …
Why has David been able to do so many stunts that no one else has? Sure he’s in good shape but there’s undoubtedly people in as good of better physical condition as he.
Answer? Mental discipline.
He’s thoughts don’t control him, he controls his thoughts.
What about you?
What holds you back? What’s keeping you from reaching amazing levels of success in your network marketing business?
Lack of time?
Lack of training?
More likely… it’s what’s in your head.
Ask yourself this:
Are you controlling your fear (and doubts) or are they controlling you?
Does fear or anxiety keep you from doing what you KNOW you need to do?
Do you lack belief?
Take control. Take your life off autopilot and exercise mental discipline.
You know what you need to do. Start doing it. Don’t let anything, not fear or anxiety nor life’s distractions get in your way.
Focus on taking action and talking to people every day about your business.
Give yourself the freedom to make mistakes (I do … every single day).
This industry is 98% “attitude” and “mental discipline.”
Want to accomplish big things? Then make a decision that you’re going to. Then, believe it and ACT on your decision.
When doubt sneaks in, show it the door.
Don’t focus on your shortcomings or adverse circumstances. Make a decision to look beyond them, and know that things will change and you will get stronger and better when you do.
Don’t talk about what you’re going to do… do it.
There’s a great saying one of my mentors used to say.
He would say:
“Your actions speak so loudly, I can’t hear what your saying…”
Take a moment and really think that through.
It’s simple to understand, but it’s deep.
Look at what you’re doing. Are you REALLY building a network marketing business?
Or are you kidding yourself?
What ACTION are you taking? Are you telling people how committed you are, but not attending your company’s convention?
Are you talking to prospects every day?
Or are you kidding yourself?
How about 3-ways with your upline?
With the right attitude, mental discipline, and consistent daily action… success, your success, is a foregone conclusion.
Until next time . . .
