Personal Note:
Hello to you all,
I hope all of you are enjoying the last days of summer as much as I am. Our first summer here in New England has been (and still is) glorious. That said, I realize as the leaves are just beginning to turn, I find myself drawn back to my desk with lots of business ideas and energy to ramp up for the fall.
How about you? Are you taking advantage of the energy being generated with the transition from summer to fall to make changes in your work schedule and business? For those of you with kids, you’ve got lots more time now that they are back at school. Even you homeschoolers have the advantage of a regular schedule to give you more time.
Transitions are a great time to plan changes of all kinds. Everyone expects “things to change” so take some time and plan your entry into the fall.
Everyone’s calendar changes as things transition from summer to fall. It is a great time to get everybody on board with each other’s schedules.

Are You Selfish?
If Not, Why Not?
Ahh when we are in the business of helping others to succeed it’s tough to think that the best way for us to be, is selfish. But I think it is. In fact, I think one of the issues many people in network marketing suffer from is not being selfish enough.
I know it sounds strange. Network Marketing is a helping business and we are all so interconnected. But I see the results of not being selfish enough all the time.
Do you recognize any of these?
- Often working outside of your regular hours because someone else couldn’t (or wouldn’t) make one of the times you offered.
- Calling downline multiple times offering (begging?) to be of service.
- Working with someone over and over again who doesn’t follow through.
- Doing more in someone else’s business than they do so that it gets done.
Not enough selfishness here.
Here’s what I think. The more you ‘bend over backwards’ for someone, the less inclined they will be to take control of their business and do what it takes to make it work. Ultimately their business is doomed because they’re not doing it. But here’s the real scary part…so is your business...doomed.
Don't let the interconnectedness of network marketing stop you from being "selfish" enough to take care of you. What do you think?
Warmly,
Jillian
