Today in Conway Arkansas we got the heaviest snow I remember since 1988 (I was young but remember that snowfall). As of a bit after 4:00pm we have over 7″ of snow and it is still coming down.
Here are a couple of videos I have of the snow fall, including a very tall snowman that a neighbor built.

I recently wrote an article about Zurvita, the home business opportunity I currently promote.
And while I usually do not pimp my opportunity on my personal blog much, I wanted to write a quick note about it due to my sheer excitement for what is going on.
First, I’m proud to say that my long term business partner is back with me….that would be my wife April. She has never really helped with Zurvita but has always encouraged me. I’m glad that we are teaming up to build something powerful, something that will change our lives and our children’s lives.
Second, I’m excited about the path they are taking. Most MLM’s stick with the sell to consumers model, and there is nothing wrong with that. Zurvita has learned that it is okay to be diverse and have a segment of products focused on business owners.
Finally, I’m just excited. I think I’m forcing myself to grow up as a leader some and push myself past some boundries that I have, in particular getting over fear and shyness. I’m not ashamed of what I do, but my actions never have shown that before.
So read the article and hop over to my Zurvita Blog – http://www.ZurvitaOpportunityBlog.com – for more information.

In the next week or two I will begin a leadership series on this blog in the form of written and video. The series will be over “Leadership Gold” by John Maxwell. This book is 26 chapters of leadership lessons.
I know I can become a better leader, and if you are reading this, you should know that you could become a better leader too!
If you want to join the series with me, I encourage you to purchase the book and follow along with me.
The book is 26 chapters. I plan on doing 2 chapters a week and going over what I find are the high points on this blog. I hope during this discussion we can grow together as leaders, learn a bit about ourselves, our high points, areas we can improve on, and learn a bit.
I know what while I am growing in my home business with Zurvita, I need to develop better leadership skills. If I plan on growing a business of thousands, I must first better myself and learn how to lead myself, my family, and then small groups of people before I can lead large groups of people.
Be watching for the start date soon.

2010 is here, and it has already taken a fast and furious start for me. I’ve been very busy with my work. I’ve been very busy on one of my 2 main goals for the year, that being getting in the best shape of my life using P90X.
But now it is time to do what I need to be doing, and you should be too: Forgetting about “resolutions” and take action.
Resolutions is such a funny word in how we use it. We “resolve” to do something, but there is no real action taken with just a resolution. In fact, Congress passes “resolutions” all of the time. They typically recognize people, places, etc, but there is no real action, just a nicely worded phrase.
And all to often, that is what “New Years Resolutions” just end up being: Nicecly worded phrases.
We say things like “I want to lose weight” but never get started…
We say things like “I want to change my financial future” but never take that first step….
We say things like “This year will be better than last year” yet we never do anything differently…
Nicely worded phrases. How do you avoid this problem?
Instead of setting resolutions, set goals. This is what April and I are doing:
1. We’re writing down our big picture objectives. We know what we want.
2. We’re taking each of those goals or objectives and breaking them into sections. Bite sized chunks, so to speak…
3. We’re taking each of those sections and writing the actions we are going to take to make it happen.
Goals are important. An interpretation from Proverbs says “Where there is no vision the people perish.” If you don’t know what you want out of life, how do you expect to achieve anything? Do you think you will just wonder into a good situation?
Goals do not work like that. Luck does, but goals do not.
So here is what I suggest: Get your goals down on paper. Do it as a family, with your wife and your children (if they are old enough to participate). Get a clear picture of what you want. Write down the steps to achieve that. And once you have all of that down, get to work!
Here’s to an EXCITING 2010. I pray that you prosper in all of your goals.

As many know, Jim Rohn passed away this past weekend.
He was a successful network marketer, business man, consultant, and motivational speaker. He help inspire millions to push for their dreams, some reaching, some not. But his teachings will resound forever, profound, simple, and helpful.
I was first introduced to Mr. Rohn’s teachings around 5 years ago. My mentor handed me a CD of a recording of Mr. Rohn. I was amazed at how such simple concepts made so much sense.
“Don’t wish it was easier…wish you were better. ”
This has to be my favorite quote from Mr. Rohn and yet one that I constantly need to remind myself to apply.
To Mr. Rohn, we will miss your physical person, but thank you for contributing your wisdom to us over the years.

So you want to start a blog to promote a product, recommend a service, or eventually attract advertisers who may want you to review their products and services.
Ladies and gents, say hello to big brother.
The FTC has announced that it will be watching blogs for “product reviews” and appropriate disclaimers. In other words, be very, VERY careful about what you write about and what you state.
For instance, if you write about a weight loss product, the standard “results not typical” MAY NOT WORK as a legitimate disclaimer. So if you write a story about someone losing 50 lbs, writing this:
“Results not typical. Individual results may vary.”
may not cut it. Nope….Big Brother takes it one step further. They want you to state what typical results are for anyone who purchases the product.
In fact, Frank Kern has a humorous post on what the FTC wants.
Now…I respect the intentions of what the FTC is trying to do. I mean, its really freakin’ easy to put up a website, a few false testimonials, and sell a product.
Real easy.
But…..
There are a lot of bloggers out there that build network marketing companies. Are they going to have to point to their companies earning disclaimers on every post?
What about traditional companies or the owners who use a blog to communicate great things about their company. What disclosures do they need?
The bottom line is, government control can be taken too far. This may be one of those great examples which causes an industry to have to rethink how it operates…..some for the good, some for the bad.
Which makes me write….results not typical when reading this post. Most who read my junk do absolutely nothing and wonder why they are not growing as Internet marketers, network marketers, or entrepreneurs.

I am going to be a millionaire. I have the millionaire’s mindset. I don’t have the money in hand right now, but I know its there.
In building my business, I have (during many times) neglected one of the most crucial elements of success. I have neglected personal development, making myself better, how to effectively put together goals that are attainable, and how to handle what life and business throws at me.
I never worked on developing mindset with any consistency.
I never worked on making myself more effective.
And I never applied anything I did “learn.”
But now I am spending a lot more time with personal development material. Right now I am pulling off anything that I can find on the Internet. There are a lot of good resources around, such as YouTube for videos of lectures from the great strategist and coaches of our times, including Jim Rohn and Tony Robbins.
In particular, I’m learning what it takes to succeed….and learning about what has held me back from success.
Take a quote from Jim Rohn I heard today on a YouTube video:
“Success is something you attract by becoming an attractive person.”
We all want success. And heck, some of us want to be attractive (physically, of course). But I believe that Mr. Rohn is saying that if you want success, you have to posture or position yourself for success.
Simply putting up a product/website does not do this. Its a start, but not there.
Simply talking to 2-3 people about your home based business does not do it, but it is better than nothing.
I believe that in order for us all to become attractive people for success, we must work through consistency, continually building ourselves as well as our businesses.
This is one part of the millionaire mindset to create. Better yourself, work consistently, and you will achieve whatever you want.

Dream wall mirror
You are probably wondering why I am posting stuff on my bathroom mirror, taking pictures of it, and posting it on the Internet for all to see.
This, my friends, is one of my “dream walls.” More on the dream wall in a minute…
I’m learning from watch a lot of mindset videos from Tony Robbins. What I’m learning more than anything is to do things I was taught a long time ago to do, but just never did (and wondering why I’m not where I need to be).
That is, I need to be keeping my goals in front of me. I must keep my desires in front of me at all times.
And more than anything, I have to know…not just believe…but know that I will achieve these things, that I will have all of my desires and goals accomplished.
Hence, the dream wall.
The dream all is simply a collection of pictures surrounding my “Why” or my purpose in working my network marketing home based business. It includes the material things I want to have for my family and I as well as the list of reasons I work my tail off.
If you do not have a dream wall, or at least have your why’s in front of you, I encourage you to do so.
Expect a “why a dream wall” post with more pictures tomorrow.
