Can You Build A Successful Business If You Have ADD?

Melodie Kantner — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:39:42 +0000

It is possible to build a successful network marketing business if you have ADD. You will have an extra challenge but it really can be done. I have a very successful leader in my downline who is an example. She is a Silver in Young Living and presently working towards Gold.

If you are are dealing with the challenge of ADD, you can do it too. It will take a little effort but if you direct that effort you can make things happen.

Generally there are things that you do on a daily basis that you may not want to do but they need to get done so you do them. You wash dishes, sweep the floors, clean the bathroom. Everyone has that. It’s part of life. If you have kids, you have to get them up, feed them and get them off to school.

Most people who have ADD are usually able to go to a job every day. On a JOB, you have a daily method of operation. If you want to keep your job and thus, earn a living, you must show up for work, not only that, you must arrive on time.

It is really important that you get a business mindset. Not realizing the importance of having a business mindset is one of the biggest reasons for failure in network marketing.

The trick is to find a way to get somewhat organized. Here are a few tips that may be helpful:

Set Your Intent

2. Keep A To Do List – Always have a To Do list and consult it often. Prioritize. What are the most important things you need to get done today? Do those first.

3. Have a Daily 10 Minute Routine – This is where you focus on things that MUST get done every day. Check and respond to email, Login to your Virtual Office, Welcome new members, Read email newsletters from upline. These are also things you do on days when you know you won’t be spending a lot of time on business.

4. Set Time Limits – This is important. Set aside a set time to do certain tasks without interruption. Turn off phone, email and any other distractions and focus on the task.
For example: If you are a blogger, it is a good habit to write for at least 20 – 30 minutes a day. This gets you in the habit of writing and produces content that can be either published immediately or saved as drafts for future posts.

5. Use Your Oils: There are several essential oils and oil blends that can be very helpful to persons with ADD. A couple favorites are Brain Power and Clarity. There are a few others listed below.

Oil Singles: Vetiver, lavender, cedarwood, sandalwood, cardamom, peppermint, frankincense
Oil Blends: Brain Power, Clarity, Peace & Calming

Diffuse, put a few drops in hands and inhale, apply a couple drops to the temples as needed.

Use the EFT tapping clip below to help you focus on a success mindset and remember your WHY. I like to use Abundance Oil with this but you can also use Clarity, Brain Power or Magnify Your Purpose.

Release Feelings of Guilt In Your Network Marketing Business

Melodie Kantner — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 23:41:23 +0000

Do you ever have feelings of guilt in your network marketing business? Let’s face it, we all do from time to time. Things happen. You get overwhelmed and discouraged. That’s when the procrastination starts. It can become a negative, progress blocking cycle. That’s when the guilt sets in and you start emotionally beating yourself up.

You may feel like you let your leader or mentor down. You had plans to do something with the business but time you start feeling embarrassed because you feel like the upline leader is disappointed in your progress. If this proceeds for any length of time the guilt can grow bigger to the point where you feel stuck and maybe even like giving up.

Let me stop here and tell you that your upline has been there and cares about you and understands that you will have times when your productivity will drop. This happens. Never feel embarrassed. Call your upline and have a mastermind session.

Here are a few things that can cause that niggly guilt feeling:

The list could go on but you get the idea.

Guilt is very destructive for your business. It is a very negative emotion that blocks the abundance energy. You want to be feeling an abundant and prosperous energy when you are conducting your daily business activities, especially prospecting and following up on leads. When you feel guilty you can start feeling depressed and then beating up on yourself emotionally. This can get into a downward spiral.

We all have it from time to time. Whenever you start feeling the guilt, STOP and Forgive yourself. Remember that we all have these feelings sometimes. We all mess up. We all have times when we don’t feel like following up on leads. We all have moments when we are not as communicative as we should be. It is those times we need to pick ourselves up and readjust to get back on track.

It is for those times that I wrote the EFT tapping script below. It’s an EFT script to help you release guilt feelings and help you re-energize.

I like to use Release essential oil blend while tapping on the negative feelings, then shift to any of the more uplifting, motivating oils on the positive section. Put a couple drops on your fingertips and tap tap tap.

EFT Tapping on Releasing Guilt:

Even though I am feeling so guilty about not ____(following up on leads)_, I deeply and completely love and forgive myself.
Even though I have all this guilt about things I haven’t done for my business, I deeply and completely love and forgive myself.
Even though I am feeling guilt, I choose to forgive myself, release the guilt and move confidently forward.

EFT To Release Fear Of Change

Melodie Kantner — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 19:49:16 +0000

There are all kinds of fears that can get in the way of your success in network marketing if you let them. One fear that many people have is the fear of change. Sometimes change can be a scary thing. It can feel easier to stay with what you know even if that is not what you really want.

When you start building a business, there will be change. When you are working to improve your life or your financial situation, changes are necessary. Sometimes these changes can be scary and become roadblocks in your path to success. Whenever you find that you are not moving in the direction of your goals it is almost always because of some underlying fear.

The fear of change can be a big one. It is a fear that you may not even recognize but it could be getting in the way or slowing you down. It’s so much easier to stay with what you are familiar with, in your comfort zone.

Procrastination is one sign that you have some subconscious fear that is blocking your path. If you find that you are procrastinating things that would really move your business forward, you most likely have a fear of success. There are many little fears that can be going on.

Do you notice any little negative feelings when you ask yourself these questions:

If I am successful in my network marketing business, what will happen? Will I have a lot of responsibility? Success in the network marketing profession requires that I will be a leader of a large group of people. Will I be able to lead a group of people? Am I responsible for their success? Will people be calling me and asking all kinds of questions? What if I don’t know the answers?

Will I have to speak in front of a large group of people at company events?

What if I start earning a lot of money? Will people start taking advantage of me.

How will my friends react if I become a big success in this business. Will they change how they feel about me? Will they be jealous of my success?

There are all kinds of underlying fears that can become blocks to our making progress. Those blocks can cause us to procrastinate and not be focused on the tasks that really produce results in business.

When you notice you are procrastinating, stop and evaluate your feelings about success in your business.

Try the an EFT script below. It may help release the fear of change. Add any word changes that would better fit your feelings around this issue.

Young Living Essential oil blends that work well with this issue: Valor, Abundance, Acceptance, Believe, Dream Catcher, Highest Potential, Into The Future, Motivation, Magnify Your Purpose, Release

Even though I am afraid things will change too much if I am successful, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
Even though success means change and that is scary, I choose to move ahead anyway.
Even though I am afraid of the changes that are coming so I am sabotaging success, I choose to release the fear and move confidently forward.

Round One: Focusing on the Feelings

(eyebrow) I know things will change when I am successful.
(side of eye) What if others start looking to me for direction?
(under eye) What if I let them down?
(nose) Part of me is afraid of being too successful in my business.
(chin) What if people look at me differently?

Simple Steps To Get Unstuck and Stay Motivated

Melodie Kantner — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 19:25:34 +0000

There are times when we feel stuck. It’s a natural thing that we all seem to go through from time to time. It can happen in all kinds of areas where we want to make progress. For example, you want your network marketing business to grow so you know you should be making follow up phone calls, doing marketing and promotion, writing newsletters and blog posts.

Sometimes when building your business you can find yourself feeling stuck wondering which way to go. You have to figure out which ways to market and promote your business. Once you figure out those things, you need to use trial and error to test out what works for you. You may even find that you need to totally change directions. The thing is, you can’t change directions until you get moving. Think of driving a car. The car has to be moving before you can turn in any direction, whether a slight turn or a full turn.

The key to getting unstuck is to just start moving forward. Motivation never starts automatically. It kicks in once you get moving. Even if on some days the steps are small. Just take steps.

I love that quote by Joe Schroeder, “You don’t have to get it right, you just have to get it GOING!” The way to get anywhere is to start from where you are right now, learn and make adjustments as you go. If you don’t start moving towards your goals, you will stay eternally stuck. Even the smallest steps stir more steps forward.

An example used by writers is to just start writing. Don’t worry about what you are writing. Don’t over analyze. Just start pouring out words on a subject. Once you get the thoughts flowing, more ideas come to you.

The same applies to other things. Picking up the phone and calling someone when you are not in the mood can seem like an impossible task. Once you make that first phone call, the mood lifts and the next call gets easier. Exercise is another example. It can be hard to get off the couch and get an exercise session started but once you do, it is easy to keep going. I often trick myself by saying, “I’ll just do 5 minutes worth.” I always stay on for more.

EFT can be a really wonderful tool to help get motivated and get unstuck.

Here’s and EFT Script to help you get motivated:

Apply 1 – 3 drops of Release oil on your fingertips, then tap on the Karate Chop Point with the oiled up fingertips. As you are tapping the EFT Points, you will have enough remaining oil to carry to all the other points.

While tapping the Karate Chop Point, Repeat 3 Times:

Even though I am feeling stuck and unmotivated, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.

Even though I don’t know what to do , I deeply and completely love and accept myself.

Even though I’m stuck and don’t feel like doing anything, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.

You can add something specific you need to do if you want.

Round One: Focusing on the Feelings

(eyebrow) I am feeling stuck and unmotivated.
(side of eye) I don’t know what to do.
(under eye) I just can’t seem to get started…
(nose) I am resisting getting started.
(chin) I don’t know what to do so I put it off till later.
(collarbone) I feel stuck so I will wait till later.
(under arm) I don’t feel motivated.
(head) I’m tired of thinking about this.

(eyebrow) I don’t want to get it going.
(side of eye) Yes I do want to get it going.
(under eye) I’m feeling stuck and unmotivated.
(nose) What if I just start moving.
(chin) I know just making a few steps forward will start some momentum.
(collarbone) I am releasing the unmotivation.
(under arm) I’m starting with just 2 steps.
(head) I know I won’t stop at just 2 steps.

Round Two: Implant Positive

(eyebrow) I choose to feel motivated.
(side of eye) I choose to take steps forward and get momentum moving forward.
(under eye) I step into energy and motivation.
(nose) I choose to move forward one step at a time.
(chin) I feel good moving forward.
(collarbone) I choose to move forward in a way that feels even more motivating.
(under arm) I enjoy taking action.
(head) I choose to feel energized and motivated.

Try EFT with Motivation oil when you need a little help getting motivated.

EFT To Fuel Law of Attraction In Your Network Marketing Business

Melodie Kantner — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 18:41:31 +0000

The Law of Attraction is something that you should consider as you are building your network marketing business. Your abundance energy is always radiating either a good attracting or a negative repelling vibration. People we come in contact with pick up on our energy.

I have been working in the network marketing profession for over 17 years. In those years I have seen distributors on both ends of the scale. Some believe in the Law of Attraction and some don’t. Some people have really negative energy and can’t believe they will have success. You hear them say things like, “The products are too expensive.” or “The economy is too bad, people won’t buy anything.”

I have also seen distributors who believed in the Law of Attraction but they seemed to think that all they have to do is sit back and wait for something to happen through osmosis. I know some who have studied Law of Attraction but never lifted a finger in promoting their network marketing business. Law of Attraction doesn’t really work that way.

The simple fact is that the Law of Attraction works when you apply it to things you are doing to build your business. You DO have to put forth effort building your business. If you don’t promote your business and your web site, you can’t expect to have a profitable business come of of nowhere.

Personal development is also helpful in enhancing the Law of Attraction. When you work on personal development, you strengthen your belief in yourself and the industry. Strong belief strengthens your abundance energy which you are always radiating. This is especially important when we are doing our daily business tasks, especially when we are coming in contact with prospects, downline, doing follow up, writing articles and blog posts. It also affects how observant you are when opportunities arise to share info about your business of products.

EFT is an excellent tool to help enhance the Law of Attraction. It can be helpful in several ways. First, EFT can help us in discovering and releasing emotional blocks and limitations that get in the way of progress. Our emotions very powerfully affect how the Law of Attraction works for us. Negative emotions become blocks that can stop us in our tracks. They can cause us to procrastinate or be ineffective in our efforts.

EFT is also great to rev up positive energy. You can use it to make affirmations more effective. You can also enhance visualization techniques by tapping as you visualize. The ways you can use EFT to enhance your abundance energy is pretty much endless. It’s only limited by your imagination.

Can You See Yourself As A Crown Diamond?

Melodie Kantner — Sun, 02 Dec 2012 16:41:25 +0000

“You cannot perform in a manner inconsistent with the way you see yourself.” — Zig Ziglar

That is a great quote from Zig isn’t it? How do you see yourself? Do you see yourself as a success in your network marketing business? Can you see yourself as a Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond and then Crown Diamond? Do you actually believe that you can achieve those ranks?

If you will be successful in anything, you must see it and believe it. That belief needs to be with every fiber of your being. If you see yourself as a failure or have any doubt as to your ability to achieve the goal, you won’t be able to get there. It’s just that simple.

Getting your mindset in the right direction is absolutely vital to your success, especially in network marketing.

If you are serious about earning a full time income in network marketing, you will want to become familiar with the compensation plan and leadership ranks. Once you reach the leadership levels, the compensation plan pays more. The higher you are in the leadership levels, the higher your compensation will be. The top of the pay plan is usually Diamond or Crown Diamond rank.

Have you thought about reaching the rank of Diamond in your business? I have found that many distributors don’t really see themselves reaching that high in the company. Some can’t even see themselves reaching the first leadership rank, Silver in our company, Young Living Essential Oils.

Can you see yourself as a Crown Diamond or even Silver?

If you are serious about earning a good income in this business, you must get serious about reaching the leadership ranks in your company plan. Start seeing yourself as a Crown Diamond. If you can’t see it and believe it, it will never happen.

Seeing yourself as Crown Diamond will help you as you are climbing up the earlier leadership ranks. Constantly be picturing yourself in the role of a successful high earning successful leader. See it! Feel it!

Now, thinking about that quote by Zig Ziglar, “You cannot perform in a manner inconsistent with the way you see yourself.” If you see yourself as a successful leader in your company, you will act accordingly. Success in just a matter of time if you see it, believe it and act in a way that will get you there. If you have doubts, you won’t.

There are ways to increase belief and power in seeing yourself at the top ranks in your company. Here are a few things that will contribute to that vision:

1. Use the Products
2. Attend Events
3. Listen to audios and videos
4. Attend Conference Calls
5. Read Books
6. Subscribe to Newsletters & Blogs
7. Talk to someone who has done it
8. Affirmations
9. Visualization – This one is an important one people often neglect.

See and feel what it feels like to achieve success in network marketing company. Spend a little time each day visualizing and getting comfortable with various aspects of your business. When you visualize, see yourself going on stage receiving an award for each rank.

EFT is a powerful tool that can help you increase the vision of yourself achieving the leadership ranks in your company. Try the EFT tapping session below to help strengthen your belief in reaching the top ranks.

Even though I’m having doubts that I can get to Crown Diamond, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
Even though I am not sure I get to Crown Diamond, I choose to feel start seeing myself in that rank.

Abundance, Acceptance, Believe, Envision, Gathering, Into the Future, Magnify Your Purpose, Motivation, Release, Transformation and Valor.

Just add a couple drops of oil to your fingertips and start tapping through the EFT points. You can tap through several times in one session but I recommend doing this daily or several times a week until you really believe you will achieve success.

Rev Up Abundance Vibrations With EFT

Melodie Kantner — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 21:08:00 +0000

EFT is a powerful tool to use along with the law of attraction. With the law of attraction, you attract whatever matches the energy or vibrations you are sending out or radiating.

Daily EFT can really set the tone for your abundance energy as you set about to do the daily tasks in your business. Not only does EFT help remove fears but it also enhances the law of attraction.
