Your Global Resorts Network Success
Begins with Your Mindset
Choosing not to spend time every day on personal development is choosing failure. Your greatest asset in your business is you!
Personal development is defined as developing your mind and thoughts that will move you into behaviors and actions, setting aside all fears to accomplish that which you desire. You must work on yourself harder than anything else you work on.
Make Personal Development a Priority
Spend at least 30 minutes every day doing something to put good, positive thoughts, leadership principles and education into your mind and spirit. Good stuff in… good stuff out.
I've written this page to give you some ideas on things you do to begin and continue your personal development journey. Get in a habit of doing this and when you do that, you'll begin to get more and more hungry for more. Live and breathe it. Become the person you vision being.
I recommend you hire a personal coach if you have hangups and issues or belief systems about yourself and your ability if you can't seem to get a breakthrough. I recommend you hire one if you have the right mindset but want to kick it up a notch. I have resources below if you don't know where to start.
You are the CEO of your own million dollar company
Employees are 
problem dwellers.
Business owners are problem solvers.
As a business owner, it's imperative to think, act and respond like one. For example, if you had recently opened a coffee shop, and could not figure out for the life of you how to get your new cappuccino machine to work and at the same time, the cash register was malfunctioning, your best employee just quit for a higher paying job and the $300 ad you placed last week has not produced the result you wanted, would you quit?
No!
You would focus on solutions and move forward as fast as you could, right? Well, you didn't buy a coffee shop for $200K, you bought a Global Resorts Network business for $3K. But, you must have the same success mindset and treat it as if it were that important. When you do that, your business will kick.
Success in a business of any kind is a process not an event. While it does seem to happen almost overnight for a few, it's a steady, consistent process. It is important that you understand this and set realistic, yet "stretching" goals for yourself.
It requires your commitment to be the best you that you can be, to be committed to learning and implementing and setting aside fears and insecurities to get stuff done. When you're feeling stuck or scared, ask yourself, "What would Donald Trump do? What would Robert Kiyosawki do? They would find a solution and keep going! That may mean they have to hire help, consultants, coaches, to learn what they need to do and move it! You do the same.
You ARE good enough!
Perhaps you've been told all your life you don't measure up, you're limited to what you'll ever do, you're stupid, you can't do this, you can't do that…. Well, I am here to tell you that's hogwash. You're fantastic! You're special, you're worthy, you're good enough and you CAN do and HAVE anything in life you set your mind to.
I totally believe in you. And God doesn't make junk. I truly believe that if God created within you a seed of entrepreneurship, He also equipped you with everything you'd need to succeed. The problem is that people have taken your equipment (your mind) and stomped on it by speaking words into your life that destroy.
As a result, you have a belief system that doesn't serve you. So what ends up happening is that seed is still there, that desire, that interest, that longing for a business that you own, but the mind has conflicting thoughts and beliefs that keep that from happening.
The good news is that this can be corrected 100% by you simply changing how you feel and think. Take your unbelief and replace it with your new belief. Change your mind. Change your thinking. Change your life.
You've got to get the mind and the spirit aligned.
You have been created with a purpose and have much to offer others. Start where you are now. Use what you have now. Take who you are now and begin to build. As you begin your personal development you will begin to see the better you coming out.
Personal Development Ideas
 |
|
Idea #1: Make a Dream Board Remember when you were a kid and you cut out pictures from magazines of things you wanted to have and places you wanted to go and glued them to paper? Well, be a kid again. Get a big cork board or poster board and cut out pictures from books, magazines, or take pictures yourself, of whatever things you want to have, places you want to go and of the people you want to touch. Display it where you can see it every day. Pay no attention to what others may think. This is not about them. It's about you and how bad you want success. By keeping your visual "why"s in front of you, it will help keep you focused and motivated on working toward what your ultimate dreams are. |
|
Idea #2: Go Touch Your Dreams Test drive the car you want. Preview the home you want. Get out the blueprints often. Visit home shows and furniture stores to get ideas. Go have dessert and coffee at the fine dining restaurant you want to eat at often. Get a book on the place you want to travel. Start visualizing, talk about it, dream about it and plan for it. Take inexpensive weekend getaways to taste your future. Contribute what you can now to charities that in the future, you want to give significantly to. This, like your dream board, will keep you motivated and on task. |
 |
|
Practice being grateful for what you have, grateful for the path you're on and the tools you have to lead you on your road to success. Celebrate each day as you go on your journey to reach your dreams. |
Idea #3: Start a Grateful Journal
Everyday, write in your log about things you are grateful for that day. It doesn't matter how small it seems. In my grateful log, I've had entries such as a warm, cozy bed and perfect cups of tea when it's cold and stormy outside. I'm grateful for my children, my folks, my mentors. I'm grateful for checks and good news in my mail box. When you state what you're grateful for and what you do want, it's those things that will come into your life. Don't state what you don't want or this exercise won't work. Start focusing on what you are grateful for and more of it will come into your life. See if you don't notice more of the same things don't begin to come to you. |
|
Idea #4: Set Goals. Visualize What You Want in Detail. See it, Clearly
|
|
Set aside some time, undisturbed, to really think about what you want your business to provide. Your Global Resorts business has the potential to provide so many things in your life, and although it generally starts out being about the money, as your business grows, and money is no longer is an issue, this business will provide more than you could ever imagine. Your future is very important and you will want to treat this planning document very serious as it will help you direct your activity. The more time you spend on it…the more serious you are about your success. As an example about writing down the details of what you want might be this. If the question is "What is your favorite thing to eat for dinner?" "Chicken" is the wrong answer. Here's the details: ”I like the chicken at the O’Charley’s. They have a great chicken salad, I take the cucumbers off, get extra ranch dressing on the side, and it’s just perfect for me. It's a clearer answer. When you can see in writing where you are going and why, you'll get there much quicker. When you plan a trip, don't you plan ahead with all the directions, the stops, the budget, etc? Plan your future. To get you started thinking, here are some questions that you can begin to answer: If money were no object, what would a perfect day look like to you? DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP! |
Idea #5: Visualization
This is not hokey, voodoo stuff. You will attract and manifest those things into your life (ALONG WITH TAKING ACTION TO BUILD YOUR BUSINESS) those things which you think about.
We've all heard about The Secret. This along is not enough, but it's a start.
Sit quietly for 10-15 minutes and whatever it is you want to manifest, go there in your mind. If you want to own a corvette, in your mind, sit in it, smell it, touch the seats, the doors, the console…. feel it, really feel it. Now drive it in your mind. Feel your foot against the accelerator, feel how the car handles and experience how you feel driving it.
Your subconscious mind cannot determine your reality. Your thoughts tell your subconscious mind what to belief. By doing these visualization exercises, your subconscious mind believes you already have the car and when that happens, you will begin to manifest those things.
You cannot do this however and expect magic to happen. These are exercises you do in conjunction of building your business and growing through personal development.
Here's what The Secret is about. You can watch the entire presentation on www.TheSecret.tv.

Idea #6: Personal Coaching from Industry Trainers There are several industry trainers that can not only help you with your mindset but also your skillsets. Having a business takes new skillsets. While many of these train heavily on how to "prospect" by calling leads, you can learn from them in so many areas. So, if you have no intention on ordering leads and calling them, these industry trainers can still help you to learn to talk to people. When your phone rings and prospects have questions, you still need to be able to have a conversation with them. You'll do good to learn how to handle objections, maintain your posture and how to stay confident. I highly recommend that you invest in your continuing education. Many professional require it. such as doctors, lawyers, real estate agents, teachers, financial planners, (gosh – even foster parents have to have so many hours of continuing education), to be able to keep their licenses to perform their chosen career path. And, every professional athlete has a coach. Every 6-7 figure earner has a coach. Coaches have coaches. Here's are a few that I have personally coached with at some level, be it through attending seminars, one on one privately, or books and CD's. |

Idea #8: Create a positive environment
It is important that you create a positive work and home environment. What are the areas where you spend most of your time during the day? Is it an office, a kitchen, a study, a factory etc.? Is the environment where you spend a lot of your time a motivating place filled with positive messages? Does it inspire you to be creative and have positive thoughts?
For example, if you spend most of your day in an office in front of a computer, install inspiring screensavers or desktop backgrounds. Decorate your walls with inspiring pictures. Have pictures of significant and successful moments on your desk. All these "things” around you affect your thoughts. Make sure that the places you spend most of your time trigger positive thoughts. Once you’ve established a positive environment, you’ll see these your positive messages on a continuous and repetitive basis.
Keep you work space clean and clear of clutter. You can't be creative when you're up to your eyeballs in trinkets and "stuff". Less is better.
Idea #9: Affirmations
Affirmations are a wonderful and effective tool to focus your mind on positive thoughts that will change how you think and how you feel.
The best way to use affirmations is to write down what you want to achieve. The important thing is that you write it in the first person, present tense as if it had already taken place.
Be as specific as you can in your description.
Read your affirmation(s) several times a day.
For example:
I am earn at least $ 150,000 a year.
I live in a two story log cabin house with a view that overlooks the Smokey Mountains.”
I have peace and joy in my life.
I am in control of my life.
I am a confident business man/woman.
I have much value to offer others.
People seek me out to do business with me everyday.
I have a lot of creative energy.
I am in good health.
I am able to laugh at myself and laugh often.
I am not afraid to make videos.
Etc…
Idea #10: Watch your Words!
Every word that comes out of your mouth will bring forth that which is spoken. Stop complaining. Stop Whining. Start making positive statements.

Movie: The Strangest Secret
How to live the life you desire, by Earl Nightingale
Our thoughts become things. The only thing that stands in the way of achieving any level of success in life is ourselves, the way we think. Our thoughts are the problem. If we want different results physically, we must believe and think about different results mentally.
Our businesses grows only as fast as our personal development and mindset grows. Unless we are willing to change then we can't expect to be anything more than what we are now.
Who you have become or what you have achieved thus far in your life because of your willingness to change? Or to not change? Change is not easy. Building your home based business will not be easy but the rewards of doing it will be immense. Not only will you be rewarded monetarily but the change that will occur within you will be far more valuable. Plus the relationships you will develop with others all across the world will be priceless.
Develop A Strong Belief
I find it odd that most people have a stronger belief in someone elses abilities over their own. Why is that? In my opinion, belief comes from how we think of ourselves as I mentioned above. Those with a stronger belief are those who "think they can" not "think they can't". If you struggle with this then it is all the more important to spend time at, "Growing Your Greatest Asset – You"page. Unfortunately, the masses seem to care so much about what "others think of them" that they actually become what they believe "others think of them." Not a very promising life.
Once again, if a person's purpose for doing this business is strong enough then they will quickly overcome their concern of what others may or may not think of them and they will be willing to do what it takes to succeed. They will be willing to learn and change their thinking, resulting in a more focused effort thus, their belief grows each day. However, the strength of one's belief is personal and can only be changed when one is willing to work on it. If it is your desire to attract "achievers" to your business then you must be an "achiever" yourself. Perhaps now is the time to work on it!!
Be prepared to be inspired. Here’s a warning… once you watch it, you'll never forget it. Most everyone gives up just one phone call away, one ad away, one conversation away from success.
Focus On The Positive
On a daily basis we are flooded with negative. The newspaper, TV and radio bombard us with news stories that we wished we hadn't read, seen or heard. Those are all things we can't control, unless of course you avoid the news altogether. But I believe we can control how we choose to feel about what we experience each day. Have we allowed all that is negative around us to blind our view of all that is wonderful about our lives and turned us negative as well?
When I am around negative people I feel my energy level decrease and I become irritable, impatient and pessimistic. Just like a rotten apple spoils other apples it touches so do negative people turn others into negative people . On the other hand, when I am around positive people, my energy, enthusiasm and optimism increase. A positive person is like a magnet, others are just drawn to them. Unfortunately, positive people are becoming harder and harder to find. Positive feeds positive and negative feeds negative. This business feeds off of positive.

CHALLENGE: Over the next week pay close attention and take note of the conversations you have and the people you have them with. Ask yourself the following questions:
Are the discussions positive or negative?
Do I feel better or worse from my discussions?
Do I tear others down or build them up by what I say?
Are those I spend most of my time with positive or negative people?
This exercise will most likely open your eyes to all the negative that goes on in your life. It will make you more sensitive to negative and help you recognize the difference you feel when you are positive.
Genuinely Care About Others
You have chosen a business that involves working closely with others. You can be the most intelligent, the hardest worker or even the greatest sales person in the entire world but success will elude you or will be short lived unless you sincerely care for others.
I strongly believe this industry cries out for honest, ethical and caring individuals but much of the time that is lacking. One of the other quotes I have adapted in my business life has been, "Others don't care how much you know until they know how much you care."
Become A Leader
Those who build businesses and incomes only others dream of are those who chose to become leaders. That doesn't mean you have to be a leader from the beginning but you must be willing to develop the skills to lead others. Often times that isn't the most comfortable position to be in but it is a MUST to being as successful as you desire.
Watch This Rock Solid Leadership Movie
A leader takes whatever time it takes to learn ALL they can about this business, the internet and will follow other leaders. Leaders, at some point simply just go build it and don't expect much. They know where they are headed and they are about moving forward as quickly as they can.
Help Others Become Leaders
One of the most difficult things I have encountered in growing a network marketing home based business is allowing others to become leaders. As I mentioned above, the only hope of true ongoing success in this industry is to spread your wings and become a leader and allow others on your team to do the same.
Quit when times get tough? What is failure? What is winning? How many times should
we look for solutions to our problems?
Watch The Essence Of Leadership Movie
It is so hard to not do everything for a person, particularly in the beginning but all that really does is cripple a person and lessen their chance for success. Strengths are developed when one must do or encounter difficult or challenging things. Building this business is not easy but is worth it. Becoming a leader is not easy but it is priceless.
