1. Welcome

Welcome to another edition of the Residual Dream newsletter. If you are short on time, if you do nothing else, subscribe to Brian Tracy's newsletter (see bottom of his article in section 5.) Brian bombards me with Emails on a daily and weekly basis... despite getting a hundred or so Emails a day I make a point of reading all of Brian's. I hope you find a nugget or two in my mine.

2. Quotes of the month

"Leadership is a matter of having people look at you and gain confidence in seeing how you react. If you're in control, they're in control." Tom Landry

“You can’t win unless you learn how to lose.” Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

"Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but also the parent of all the others." Cicero

“Reflect on your present blessings, of which every man has many; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.” Charles Dickens

“The big secret in life is that there is no big secret. Whatever your goal, you can get there if you’re willing to work.”
Oprah Winfrey

“Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway.” John Wayne

“The biggest mistake we could ever make in our lives is to think we work for anybody but ourselves.” Brian Tracy

“If you’re not a risk taker, you should get the hell out of business.” Ray Kroc (McDonald’s founder)

3. Breeze update

Breeze is now my main source of income. The Law of Attraction is working brilliantly... some wonderful people are joining the business. It's very refreshing as all we do is 'look for people who are looking' and then invite them to take the VIP Tour. If you are looking for a serious additional income stream make sure you get in touch with me... or just take the tour from my website: www.breezeworld.com/breeze/walltowall/. If you looked at Breeze a while ago it is vastly improved and it's getting better all the time. This is the hottest tip I can give you:

4. YouTube - I do have friends, thank you very much

I was feeling great this morning until I went to check my YouTube account. What a cheek! There in a prominent position was this sign:

OK, I've only been tinkering with YouTube for the past few months and I don't even know what a YouTube 'Friend' is. However, the experiment has been very worthwhile. Over 1,000 people have seen my 'Fake It Till You Make It' video, my general Google rankings have improved and I've received more website traffic as a result. And I've even found some new friends, so there.

If you want to get more business on the Internet, an online video presence is highly recommended. It's like having your own TV station and is one of the fastest growth areas on the Net. It's so easy... all you need is a £20 webcam, some free video editing software and you're away.

The Importance of Mental Fitness
by: Brian Tracy

The Hard Work of Selling

Selling is hard work. It is one of the most difficult jobs in our economy. As a salesperson, you face continual rejection, potential failure, persistent disappointment, setbacks, obstacles and difficulties not experienced by most people. Selling is not easy and it has never been easy. It never will be easy. It will always be varying degrees of difficult, from hard to very hard, to very, very hard. And to be successful in selling you must be tough, as well.

Your Attitude Makes the Difference

In selling, your attitude is probably eighty percent of your success. Your attitude is the outward expression of everything that you are, and everything that you have become over the course of your lifetime. Your attitude has the greatest single impact on the people that you deal with. The development of a positive mental attitude is the indispensable requirement for great success in your field.

Learn to Bounce Back

Psychologists have defined the "hardy personality" as the type of personality that is most suited to the rigors of the modern business world. The hardy personality, the personality you need to develop, is resilient, optimistic, tough, strong, and capable of bouncing back continually from temporary disappointments and defeats.

Respond Constructively to Stress

A positive mental attitude is a constructive response to stress. It is a solution-oriented, objective approach to difficulties that you face every single day. A positive mental attitude is expressed as a general optimism toward life and the inevitable challenges of earning a living. A positive mental attitude is the most outwardly identifiable quality of a winning human being, and it is the characteristic most closely identified with success in selling of all kinds.

Practice Mental Fitness Every Day

To become and remain physically fit, you must engage continuously in physical exercise. To become mentally fit, to develop the kind of attitude that leads on to success and happiness, you must engage in continuous mental exercise. It is a never ending process. Just as you do not achieve physical fitness and then discontinue physical exercise, you can not achieve mental fitness without working on it regularly, every day, like breathing in and breathing out.

Action Exercises

Here are two things you can do immediately to put these ideas into action:

First, decide in advance that, from now on, you are going to respond in a positive and constructive way to each and every stress situation in your life. Be tough!

Second, practice mental fitness every day by forcing yourself to remain cheerful and optimistic in the face of difficulties and disappointments.

Remember, you can do it if you decide to!

6. Video - it's all about timing

Ever heard of 'The 3 Foot Rule' or the 'The Mirror Technique?' There are some times when you are better off not even mentioning your business opportunity. Warning: this 2 minute video even makes me cringe :0)

7. Technical nuggets

Did you know that the Print Screen key on a PC keyboard copies the screen contents to the clipboard? Just hit Print Screen (or Print Scrn) and then open up your image editing software (or even MSWord) and 'paste' it in. What fun!

Do you use MS Outlook? Sort your Inbox in date order (click on the Received column) and then in Flag order. Then if an Email comes in and you can't deal with it there and then, but you don't want to forget about it, just click on the flag so a red flag appears. All the flagged Emails will show at the top of your Inbox until you clear the flag. A simple but effective productivity tool.

8. Book of the month

You have hopefully watched 'The Secret' movie. There's also a book which is a great way of reinforcing the message. I find the audio book even better - it's a 4 CD set and not only has all the material from the movie but also has additional content. If you're in Europe, the best value I found on the Net was www.thesecretdvdboutique.com... about £12 for the 4 CDs. They are also very competitive for buying the movie on DVD.

(If you haven't yet seen 'The Secret', here's the link: www.thesecret.tv. You can see the first 20 minutes free of charge on www.YouTube.com.)

Until next time... best wishes :0)
