What do you feel when you stand on the shore of the ocean?
What do you feel when on the shore?
I feel calmness. I also feel like our challenges are nothing when comparing to the entire world and the ocean reminds me just how tiny we are in the universe. It also makes me feel quite appreciative...for everything!
Kim and I are fortunate to be so near the ocean!

What is the greatest crime one person can commit against another?
My answer: Stealing someone's DREAM.
You know, my grandfather used to tell me that he wanted me to make sure I remember to get him hockey game tickets when I played for the Bruins. He was a big DREAM BUILDER. At the same time, my brother and I experienced a coach in High School that took years of positive programming away because he was the complete opposite and I was too inexperienced to know or grow through it.
In 1986 when we first got married I joined the Amway Corporation for about a year. I remember specifically that my parents didn't only support me ...they attended some meetings to support me. At the same time, I had a dentist that I shared the idea with that shot it and me down- real hard.
I strongly suggest that you not let anyone commit the crime of stealing your dream. Feed your mind with awesome books like Magic of Thinking Big or Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson so you aren't vulnerable to anyone stealing your dream!

Simply Recommending
It's best when speaking about your business that you think of it as simply recommending. You simply listen to the people around you...listen to their challenges and problems and when someone shares a challenge or problem that either your product or business can help with -- just tell them your story and how you see it being a solution for them. If you go out this week and have a great meal at seafood restaunt and you recommend it to a friend and the friend says "I don't like seafood" or "that place cost too much", you just let it go as their opinion; you're not tied emotionally to it. It's the same with your network marketing business -- Just recommend it. If it is a fit, perfect. If not, let it go.
Your personal timing is the only thing you can control -- you don't know the dynamics of what's happening in other peoples' lives.
...oh and by the way, look at who thinks the network marketing profession is a great fit for many!
