Top Network Marketers Have Something In Common
Building a network marketing business can be tough at times - for everyone - even those people who experience long term success in the industry. You know, the people who make big money and have thousands and thousands of people in their network.
Now, if I told you that the big money earners in network marketing all have certain characteristics in common would you believe me? If so, would you want to know what those characteristics are? Sure you would! You probably want to know to see if you have those characteristics as well.
I’m going to share with you 8 characteristics that people who earn a significant income in network marketing have in common. If you discover that you do not have all of these characteristics, then guess what? That’s not a problem because you can develop these characteristics. Simply put your mind to it and seek the help from people who are skilled in these areas.
The 8 Characteristics of Top Network Marketers
1. When they prospect, they sort. They sort people into one of three categories: interested, not interested, interested and qualified. Of these three categories who do you think top network marketers spend their time recruiting? You got it - the people who are interested and qualified.
You see, top network marketers don’t play the “throw a bunch of spaghetti up against the wall to see what sticks” game. Instead they play the “sorting game.” They are constantly on the look out for people they think are qualified for the business - people with the particular experiences, traits and skill sets that are common among people who are successful in this industry.
This brings us to the seven other characteristics that are common among top network marketers. Top network marketers posses the following traits. However these characteristics are also what top network marketers look for in people who they invite to join them in business.
Keep in mind that the world needs variety. If we expect to function as a society we can’t all be doctors or lawyers or even network marketers. Think about it: not everyone is cut out to be a teacher, a pilot, a hair stylist, or even a network marketing leader.
However, there are enough people out there that are cut out to be a top network marketer. The key is in finding those people. Here is what you look for in your self and in others.
2. Work well with others. Motivating, intelligent, positive, encouraging, and friendly. Tends to be more objective than subjective. Does not backbite, complain, whine, or blame.
3. Outgoing and confident. Good communicators. Tend to be more extroverted compared to introverted. Confident, articulate and have a sense of humor. Typically well liked and can speak confidently in front of others.
4. Achievers. People who get things done. People who start something and finish it. Achievers are not dreamers as much as they are doers. Achievers commit to do whatever it takes to get it done.
5. They are a center of influence. They are already affiliated with a large network of successful people, have a lot of contacts and people respect their opinion.
6. Entrepreneurial. Has made money by some sort of enterprise in the past or present. This isn’t always something glamorous or high-end. Maybe the person generated a lot of money from something as simple as selling cookies. It’s more about the fact that they are accustomed to doing their own thing.
7. Financially stable. Generally not living paycheck to pay check, not broke and not always in need of money.
8. A natural leader. They get people organized. People respect them and typically follow their lead. Organizes things or events.
So, first get real with yourself and determine if you possess all of the above characteristics. If you don’t, then look to see how you can develop the ones you think you do not currently have.
As you develop those characteristics, continue to get better and better at sorting when you’re prospecting for people to join you in your business. Focus on inviting into your business only those people who have all of the above characteristics.

Making The Move From Temp To Permanent
At times, your wait for the perfect job may seem too long. During such trying times, you may have to settle for a temporary job to fulfill your financial needs. Making The Move From Temp To Permanent
Taking a temporary job, or “temping”, may be your best option to earn money while you explore other career possibilities. A temp job may be the gateway to a permanent job as plenty of companies absorb their temp workforce on a permanent basis if they show that they can handle the responsibilities.
The transition from temp to permanent may not be very easy, but with the right strategy, you can land a permanent job. Read on to see what simple strategies can help you make the transition from being a temp to having a permanent job.
Prove Your Mettle
You should understand that no company will ever consider you for permanent employment unless you prove that you are a deserving candidate. As a temp, you need to show your willingness to learn new tasks and take on new responsibilities. You should be able to adapt to the environment and make every effort to meet deadlines.
For many people, a temporary job is something that involves less responsibility and is a lot different from typical permanent jobs. As a result, they tend to have a laid back attitude towards their work. Don’t let the word “temp” get in the way of your career. The biggest mistake people make is to actually act like a temp - suggesting that they will be around only for a while and cannot be counted on to do a good job. This kind of attitude can wreck your chances of becoming a permanent employee in the company.
You need to act like a professional and prove that your services are invaluable to the company. The key is to act as if you are already a permanent employee - to perform at the best of your ability at all times.
Dress for Success
The way you dress is just as important as the quality of your work. After all, you need to look like a professional so that your employers and superiors feel comfortable to give you more meaningful work.
Don’t give in to the temptation of dressing too casually - and make sure that you comply with the standard dress code of the company.
Use Your Networking Skills
Nothing can beat networking if you want to survive in the today’s work environment, so make sure that you meet new people and socialize with your colleagues. You may actually have to spend a lot of time with them in future anyway if you become a permanent employee. So why not start today?
Rather than looking at your temporary job as a mere source of making additional money, you need to regard it as a stepping stone to a more stable job. So, think professional, act professional, and look professional - and see how soon you get the offer to join the company on a fulltime basis.

Can You Really Employ Yourself From Home?
There is something about the idea of having a home-based that I find curious. Some people meet the idea of having their own business from home with skepticism. Why is this? I think it is because there are a lot of scams out there that, unfortunately, people have been victims of or know someone who has.
As with anything, the scams have tarnished the reputation of an otherwise viable, legitimate way to earn a good income. With the advances in technology, especially the Internet, I know that everyone on the face of this planet could earn an income from the comfort of his or her home.
Now, I am not suggesting that everyone should have a home-based business. Working from home simply is not for everyone. However, for those of you who do want to work from your homes, I am here to tell you that you can. I did, so that means that you can.
Simply put, I am an example of what is possible. I used to work outside of the home, as a well-educated career woman. But, things changed for me as I entered into middle management and then had a child. I became disillusioned and at the same time my motherhood values were kicking into gear. I started to loose the drive I used to have for the kind of work I was doing. I kept thinking, “There has to be a better way.”
I started researching what my options were. I discovered that they were limitless. I began to see that I actually could work from home. In fact, I could actually have my own business from home. That was just the beginning.
My research led to one business, which I started and began making money with right away. However, that led to yet another business about which I saw I would be more passionate. I pursued that idea. It was tough and it didn’t pan out. However, it did lead to yet another business that became profitable for me after a few years.
So what does what I am telling you mean for you? Possibly a few things:
* Avoid thinking that having a home-based business is simply a dream. There are countless ways to make money from home. Begin your search for your ideal home business by sitting down and making a list of all the possible ways you might make money from your home. Include any idea, no matter how zany, far fetched, or limited you think it might sound.
Then, go back and look at your list. Pick one, two, but no more than three ideas from your list. Start researching how you might start making money from your home by implementing one of those ideas.
* Understand that technology has advanced to the point where it is viable to have a profitable business from home - one that enables you to pay your bills and then some. You don’t have to be technically savvy, either. However, you must be willing to learn and challenge yourself.
* Building and running any business can be challenging at times. However, working for someone else can be as well. You’re not going to escape hurdles and difficulties in life. Decide that you can get through the tough times.
* Get that there is “no free lunch.” Having your own business is extremely rewarding. But, you have to put forth the effort required to get it going and keep it running.
* Your success at starting a home business and achieving your goals is 100% up to you. Access the resources you need at every step along the way. Get the training and support you need.
* Have a clear plan but also allow the process to unfold. If someone told me 5 years ago that I would be doing the work I now do from home I would have thought it was too good to be true. You see, I did not set out to do what I now do. I simply had a dream to work from home full time and I followed my own, unique path to realizing that dream. So, have a plan, but also be open to shifting gears if necessary.

Some Popular Job Interview Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
If you are familiar with people who work in human resources and hiring services, they will be sure to tell you of many experiences where they encountered applications that really looked great on paper but when the actual people behind these applications turned up to be interviewed, they turned out to be disasters. You don’t have to suffer the same fate; you can take note of the mistakes these individuals have made and prepare yourself for career success. You have to learn to make a good first impression by avoiding these four major mistakes which job seekers tend to make regularly and convince the interviewers that you are even much better in person than on paper. Avoid these blunders:
Failure to Prepare for Questions
Most people plan for interviews by setting a few interview questions for themselves and then preparing to respond to these specific questions, this is a very wrong move to make. Preparation is best for all possible eventualities or you rather not prepare at all. Think of it, what if you make up your mind to answer a set of specific questions and you end up being caught unawares and unprepared, how will that make you look? If you need preparation, you best think of as many possible questions as you can and anticipate as many possible eventualities as possible. In the end you will also have to learn not to rely too much on the questions you anticipate (you can’t possibly get them all, can you?) but your readiness to answer any that come your way.
Lack of Effective Communication
Impressing your interviewers and satisfying them with your responses is called effective communication, failure to effectively communicate leads to failure to be understood and failure to get the message across of how beneficial an employee you can be to the organization or establishment in question. Match the style of the interviewer asking questions when you answer them. If the interviewer is brisk and business-like, don’t attempt any jokes but respond in an equally business-like manner instead. Any questions that are directly asked should be directly answered as well.
Excessive Talking
Excessive talkers are a problem in any interviewing situation, interviewers will tell you this as well. Sometimes the excessive talk is due to over exuberance and sometimes it is due to the desire of the interviewee to over-compensate for what they perceive to be their own weaknesses. Whatever the precise case, being over-talkative is seen as a sign of weakness. Avoid taking an excessive amount of time to answer direct questions, get to the point. Never talk nervously as it indicates you’re either covering up for certain unclear deficiencies or that you are lying when you may not be.
Badmouthing Previous Bosses
Not all employers are Santa Claus and his band of merry elves but even if your previous employer was the Grinch Who Stole Christmas keep the sad stories out of your interview. Never express ill-feelings held about your previous employer or work situation. When it comes to challenges you experienced with your previous employer which were subject to negativity, learn to spin your experiences in a positive light.

Is Your Image Hurting Your Career?
This is the harsh reality of the world we live in, where your career depends on the image you portray. People who are attractive, physically fit and better dressed are those who get the best jobs - irrespective of their skills or qualifications.
It is all about the image in the business world. It may not be fair, but that’s how it is.
Be Fit
Ok, so it does sound unfair that people who have a weight problem, or are not model-skinny do not get the best jobs. However, before you get too outraged, consider the reason behind this.
If you are seen as a person who has a weight problem, it usually means (or is assumed) that you do not exercise. This is where the problem lies. Exercise is what keeps people going through tough times. When you exercise, you have the ability to focus and are more alert, and this is because exercising produces endorphins in the body (the happy hormones). Some people claim that exercising can even make people smarter.
When you are seen as a person who is serious about health and fitness, you are seen as a person who is serious about professional life as well. This makes a good impression on employers or prospective employers.
Prioritize Your Image
If you have no time for fitness, and no time to eat properly or exercise, what sort of image is that portraying to people? It tells people that when you do not have time for your own health or personal life, you will be a workaholic. If you are so busy with work that you really cannot find 40 minutes a day to hit the gym and help your body to be healthy? It is all about your image; if you look good and fit, it portrays the image that you work hard towards looking good, and you will put the same kind of effort into your work and professional life.
On the other hand, if you are overweight or look sloppy, it gives the image that you don’t care about your appearance. It also reflects upon the fact that you do not respect your coworkers or your clients enough to look respectable around them, and in turn do not care about your job and the work you do!
Dress for Success
As cliche as it sounds, you have to dress for success. When you dress with care and give an impression of power and confidence, you are building a brand for yourself at the workplace. Your image is what matters at the end of the day.
Do whatever it takes to build that image - meet with an image consultant if necessary. An image consultant will help you look the part when it comes to your job.
Spend some money on getting the right kind of clothes. Don’t think of this as shopping; think of it as an investment in your career. And think twice before you reach for that cheeseburger!

Joint Venture Agreements and What They Can Do For Your Business
A joint venture agreement is a legal agreement detailing a joint venture. A joint venture is a partnership that is generally created to carry out a specific business project or transaction. Usually a joint venture is undertaken for a limited period of time. Typically, a joint venture will last for five to seven years.
For a joint venture, two or more companies will agree to share the risks, rewards, capital, human resources, and technology while forming a new company under mutual control. A joint venture agreement is generally formed for a particular project and will usually be dissolved once that project is finished. The members of the joint venture share all legal liabilities and are treated in the same way as a partnership when it comes to income taxes.
A joint venture agreement may be made for many different purposes. They are frequently used for real estate transactions when two or more individual want to develop a particularly piece of real estate. They are commonly used by companies in order to enter into a foreign market. A foreign company will often have a joint venture agreement with a domestic company that is already in that particular market. Generally the foreign company can contribute new technology and practices and the domestic company can contribute established relationships, required government documents, and their experience to the joint venture.
There are a number of benefits that come from forming a joint venture. One benefit is that it provides companies with an opportunity to gain expertise and capacity. It also enables companies to enter into a related business or new market, as well as gaining technology and expertise. While they are a legal “partnership,” they do not have to involve any sort of commitment long term.
On the other hand, the financial needs and risks are shared between the original parties for the duration of the joint venture which lowers the overall risk and financial obligation of the individual parties. Joint ventures often lead to the development of new products and technologies.
Of course, a joint venture agreement is not without risks. There are a number of potential pitfalls. The individuals or companies may find that they have different philosophies, expectations, or objectives for the venture. An imbalance may evolve in the degree of investment and proficiency that is brought by the individuals or companies. There may not be adequate support, identification, or compensation for management teams or superior leadership. The corporate styles and cultures of the partners in the joint venture may ultimately conflict. Any of these problems can lead to a loss of profit, investment, time and energy. It is even possible for legal battles to ensue.
The forms involved in creating a joint venture include the joint venture agreement, a memorandum of understanding, and any supplemental agreements. It is also necessary to obtain regulatory approval. This may be a time when it is worthwhile to consult with an attorney and have them draw up the required documents, although as is so often true in today’s internet age, it is possible to purchase uncompleted forms online.

To Buy or Not to Buy a Hybrid Car
Ever thought that 60 miles per gallon would cut your monthly gas bill in half? Me too. The idea of the hybrid is almost too good to be true. And from a financial standpoint, it is too good to be true. The following information is a cost comparison between the Honda Civic Sedan and the Honda Civic Hybrid Sedan. Essentially the same car, except the hybrid uses half electric, and half gas power, thus improving gas mileage.
According to Honda, the Civic gets 40 mpg on the highway, while the Hybrid Civic gets an amazing 51 mpg. This is where the salesman gets you. “It will help protect the environment while saving you tons of money on your gas bill every month”, a salesman might say. This is very convincing, as it appeals to both our emotional side in protecting the environment, as well as our wallet. But let’s take a closer look at the two:
* Civic Sedan: Starting MSRP - $15,010
* Civic Sedan: Highway MPG - 40
* Civic Hybrid Sedan: Starting MSRP -$22,600
* Civic Hybrid Sedan: Highway MPG - 51
Now, I have compiled a spreadsheet that will aid you in your financial evaluation of the hybrid vs regular car purchase. As always, I have run an initial estimation only, you will need to download the spreadsheet at the bottom of the post, and update the numbers per your circumstances. Let’s look at the findings:
Buy a Hybrid Car Financial Comparison
Make/Model Price MPG Hwy Miles Per Yr Price/Gal Gas $/Month
Honda Civic Sedan $15,010.00 40 15,000 $2.75 $85.94
Honda Civic Hybrid Sedan $22,600.00 51 15,000 $2.75 $67.40
Monthly Savings with Hybrid $18.54
Yearly Savings with Hybrid $222.43
Price Difference $7,590.00
Months to Recoup Price Difference 409
Years to Recoup Price Difference 34.1
The results are staggering! Look at how long it will take for the gas savings to pay you back for the difference in price of the car. 34 YEARS!!! Clearly not a wise investment. However, if you still are considering buying a hybrid car, the government does offer some tax advantages. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 allows a tax credit to be applied to an owner of a new hybrid car, as long as it meets the programs requirements (at least until 2009).
The tax credit is derived from statistics run on the particular make/model hybrid car you purchase, but usually will fall somewhere around $1,500-$3,000. This is a deduction however, not a check. Depending on your tax bracket, the actual dollars of tax savings will vary. The nice thing though, is the deduction can be applied on top of the standard deduction!
Having said that, if you are in the 20% tax bracket and got a credit of $2,000, your tax savings would be $400. Not bad, but you will still need to drive that Honda Civic Hybrid Sedan for about 30 years to get the payback. The bottom line is, if you want to buy a hybrid car for the cost savings, forget it. If you have a green thumb and want to help the environment, then it is still an option. Be warned though, the life cycle to obtain and use the additional batteries for the hybrid car puts extra pressure on the environment, not found in regular gasoline cars.
I hope that I did not shun everyone from buying a hybrid car, I still believe in the concept myself. However with the current technology, it just doesn’t make sense financially. I look for the day of the fuel cell car, or other concept car, that takes away the need for gasoline…

Is It Time To Grow Your Business Or Nurture Your Business?
Your business is alive! Yes, like you, but there is a subtle difference, you need to be the hands, ears, and eyes for your business. You must know the state of your business, and what it needs at certain points in time. Does it need rest? Does it need food? Does it need water?
Now before getting a burger and putting it in your office, thinking the business will eat it, it won’t happen! You business may not be alive in the sense that you are, but it does have same patterns as everything else. A business is born like a human, grows, matures and withers and dies. For most however, this is not something we realize. We don’t see what our business requires at this present time.
We want to grow our business, but don’t realize that it needs nurturing, to be stabilized and matured. Likewise, you may try to mature your business, and hope that it pays you, at a time when you need to invest in it.
This can make life complicated. After all, your business can not talk to you like your employees or clients can. So, how are you to find out what your business needs? The answer is awareness. You must become more aware of your business.
And why would you ever want to listen to your business? Your business like a tree knows what it needs. When there is not enough water, the leaves wither. When there is too much water, the leaves wither again. You must be the one to water the tree. You must be like a gardener. This is so, because a tree gives fruit, and your business is the one that pays you and others!
When your business is young, it needs constant care. It needs constant effort or watering. It needs weeding to keep the young sapling protected. And finally it needs your time and energy to grow that business. But all trees are different. You may have a shrub, a small tree, an apple tree, perhaps a sycamore. These all exhibit different growth patterns.
Now the analogy of the tree and the business is a good one. It helps us visualize, whereas thinking of simply your business can not always do that. If your business was a tree, then where would it be right now? Would you business be growing, would it be a sapling? Would you business be in maturity?
Often people will try to dictate the business. We hear words such as CEO - chief, and director, but none of these are about dictating. Like the president, who looks at the needs and then makes decisions and takes actions on those, an entrepreneur must operate in the same way.
This method of working will show you the health of your business. You will come to understand what is needed at this point in time. When you can take action in such a manor, you will find that ultimately you prosper. You business knows best, but it does not have the hands, ears and sight. You must serve your business.
