Each of us have a dominant personality color. This classification of personality temperaments dates back to 400 B.C. when Hippocrates named them Melancholic, Sanguine, Choleric and Phlegmatic.
In my Network Marketing organization we have adopted the theory that the names of these personality temperaments coincide with colors. Melancholic is associated with the color GREEN. YELLOW is Phlegmatic, RED is Choleric, and BLUE is Sanguine.
Each color has its strengths and weaknesses. Each personality contributes to the interesting aspects of being human.
Here's a story about how the colors interact.
It was a bright beautiful day. The sun was shining, the sky was clear and the temperature was 72 degrees. It was a near perfect day. I was invited to a party that day which was to be held outdoors. The weather couldn't get much better than that for the party.
When I arrived, I was happy to see that many of my friends were there, plus some people I didn't know. I'm not really a party animal, but was open to meeting some new people.
I was warmly greeted at the door by my friend, Malcomb Monkey. "Hello Oliver Owl, how are you?" he said. He's always ready for a party. He is self-employed. No one really knows for sure what he does, but I've heard him use the term "Network Marketing". I don't quite know what that is, but he loves doing it. I enjoy being around him because he is always upbeat, full of energy, enthusiastic and creative. His voice is so strong, you can hear him from a block away. Malcomb loves being around people and never meets a stranger. He looked great in his bright "BLUE" Hawaiian print shirt. Good thing he's married to Tina Teddy Bear. He's so disorganized he would never have been able to pull this party together. Malcomb flies by the seat of his pants and loves public speaking. He's so much fun to be around.
About the time Malcomb had finished greeting me at the door and introducing me to six people, whose names I couldn't recall, Tina Teddy Bear came out of the kitchen with a beautiful tray of well arranged, and decorated, carrot cake muffins. She immediately set down the muffins and walked across the room to give me a big hug. Tina looked wonderful in her "YELLOW" sundress. She always dresses so well for every function she is at. She has such great taste. She is a little soft spoken. Tina Teddy Bear is a crisis counselor. She has worked in that profession for many years. She has won many awards at work for her dependability and being a team player. Tina is so warm and friendly, that I know why she is so good at counseling. Malcomb says he has to be careful, though, when communicating with her because she can be a little overly sensitive. Tina is definitely the one in the family that holds things together. She is so dependable, warm and loving. Tina Teddy Bear excused herself to finish her job of making sure her guests were well taken care of.
Malcomb had moved on to greet other newcomers. I (Oliver Owl) stood there for a moment alone in the room wondering where I could go to be inconspicuous. I did want to meet some other people but I'm a bit reserved and it is not always easy for me to walk up to someone and begin talking to a complete stranger. I don't mind being alone. I just have to be careful that I don't spend so much time alone that I become depressed. I prefer formal introductions. I am an Engineer and not everyone wants to discuss the technology I work with, especially the research. I took off my "GREEN" linen jacket and laid it across the back of one of the chairs, then headed out to where the party was. I took a glass of diet coke from the bar and began to analyze each of the guests wondering what they did for a living. I like knowing a lot about the people I interact with. I persisted in doing that until someone tapped on my shoulder.
As I turned around I was met with a forceful and loud,"HELLO". She introduced herself as Sally Shark. I barely had time to try to remember her name before she began telling me all about herself. Sally is a CEO/Attorney for her corporation. She definitely looked the part. No casual dress for her, she was definitely "dressed for success" in her "RED" blazer, white blouse, black skirt and print scarf. As I stood there listening to her talk about herself, i.e., dominating the conversation, I noticed that she was very intense and goal oriented. It was difficult to believe all she was telling me. I had a strong feeling she was exaggerating a bit to impress me. Sally began talking about all the money she was making in her job and how she had worked her way up the corporate ladder. She really enjoyed the powerful position she was in. Abruptly, Sally spotted someone else she wanted to talk with and was gone just as suddenly as she had arrived.
As, I stood there observing the attendees of this party, I struck me how different everyone was. Each had their own individual personality traits. I decided that that was a good thing. Each person brought color to the party with their unique talents and traits.
As the evening came and everyone was leaving, I thanked Malcomb Monkey and Tina Teddy Bear for a wonderful evening, grabbed my "GREEN" linen coat and walked to my new high mileage car.

Residual Income Is Better Than Winning the Lottery
Can you strike it rich without winning the lottery? Yes, you can. Thousands of people are doing it every day. It doesn't take a genius or odds of 1 in 250,000,000. All it takes is a little research and some effort.
How much money do you need in order to supplement your income? Or, do you want to replace your income and enjoy personal and financial freedom for the rest of your life? I know this sounds like a far-fetched dream, but it is not. If you COULD have personal and financial freedom, how much effort would you be willing to put forth? What if I told you that you could achieve that with about 5 hours of work per week to start? First let me show you what you have to gain.
If you wanted to have $500 per month in extra income, in 5 years, how much would you have to have invested to accomplish that? At 6% simple interest - a little higher than a Money Market account return - you would have to have $100,000 invested. How long would it take you to save that amount of money? In 5 years, you would have to save $1667.00 per month, every month.
If you wanted to have $5000 per month in extra income, in 5 years, at 6% interest, you would have to have $1,000,000 invested, which would require you to save $16,667 per month for 5 years. However, you would only have to have 250 people in your personal Network Marketing group to achieve the same monthly return.
$10,000 per month would require saving $33,334 per month for 5 years to accumulate an asset of $2,000,000. Or you could have 350 - 450 people in your personal Network Marketing group.
What if I told you that you could have $500 per month in extra income working 5 hours per week in only one year? Yes, in Network Marketing, this can be easily achieved. You would be performing seemingly small actions, on a consistent basis.
But, how many people would you need in your group? It varies from company to company, but I know of one 5 Pillars company where you would only need about 25 people in your personal group. That is a recruitment goal of only 2 people per month. And, with others in your personal group recruiting to build their own businesses, you would not need to recruit 2 people per month. Your team members would be building their businesses, helping add to your personal group.
What if you wanted to replace your full time income? What would THAT take? Look at the chart at Network-Marketing-Unlimited. The chart is located on the lower right corner of the page under my picture. This gives you the full idea of what you would need to have in personal savings or build in your business.
At a certain point in your business, you hit critical mass and your personal group grows very rapidly. But to be on the conservative side, I've calculated these numbers on a 5-year plan.
All that time you spend driving to the convenience store, purchasing a lottery ticket, then driving home, could be spent on building your own business with residual income that would last your lifetime. The odds are very much in your favor to amass an excellent income with just a few small actions per day.
In the book "The Slight Edge" by Jeff Olson, he states, "If you learn to understand and apply the Slight Edge, your life will become filled with hundreds of thousands of small, seemingly insignificant actions; all of them easy to do, none of them mysterious, complex or difficult. And those actions will create your success. That's what successful people do: simple things that are easy to do."
By working on your Network Marketing business a little each day, you could build your own business. Those odds are far better that trying to win the lottery, and you would have what you dream about: Personal and Financial Freedom.

How to Get MLM Leads
I have been busy working on both of our businesses. Since I haven't mentioned it before, I'll explain it now. In addition to my Vitamark business, we have another business where we sell model train transport and storage boxes, American Models S-Gauge Trains, and Wooden Trains, such as Thomas the Tank and Melissa & Doug. We sell through the internet and also go to about 6 shows annually. It's fun, but a lot of work. If you are interested in model trains, check us out at: Train Boxes Plus My husband and our partner, Brother-in-Law, are into the trains.
My other Home Based Business is my REAL love. I'm still working hard at learning HOW to do the business. There is so much to learn. This is certainly not a "get rich quick" scheme that many Network Marketing companies try to get you to believe. This is about self-improvement and learning, learning, learning. I'm so fortunate to have upline that is available as I need them and are very willing to teach me and mentor me. I, in turn, wish to pass my knowledge along to anyone else who feels they need it.
Today, I would like to talk about how to get Network Marketing leads. Here is a 60 minute audio presentation that will help you with having leads come to YOU. The presenter, Richard Dennis entitles it "MLM Prospect Magnet". I think you'll find it very beneficial to your business. He references the book "The Slight Edge". If you have not read it, it is a MUST READ. It is literally life changing. There is so much information in this audio, it will take you a MONTH to go through it all. Enjoy!!

Where I've Been And What I've Been Doing Since My Last Post
It's been a while since I posted. I didn't realize how long it had been until I looked at the date.
It's been a very busy time. I've been working hard on my business in Network Marketing. Also, we have another business where we sell model train transport and storage boxes, plus we sell wooden toy trains including Thomas the Tank. We also sell S-Gauge trains, but that is all about doing another blog.
My focus here is on my Network Marketing business and the Mentoring For Free program.
I've been learning to do videos, writing articles for Ezine, learning about Social Networking and Social Bookmarking.
Additionally, my husband had surgery for prostate cancer and is home recouperating. The GREAT news is that they got it all. He's been very faithful in getting his annual checkups and checking his PSA....a simple blood tests that can indicate prostate cancer. This year it passed the magic number of 4.0. He was referred to a Urologist who did a biopsy which turned out to the positive for cancer. It was a more aggressive form of cancer and we did not entertain radiation treatment. He had the prostate removed. The final pathology results were that all the cancer was contained within the prostate and had not moved to his lymph nodes. For everyone out there, whether male or female with a significant male in her life (husband, mate, brother, Father, son), please keep a close watch on your PSA. The number of men who end up with prostate cancer, especially in their older years is staggering. It is one of the most treatable cancers for men, if caught early. All 3 of our sons are going to have theirs checked and they are not yet 40. My husband's Father died of prostate cancer that was not caught until it was too late. He was one of the GREAT people of the world, and it is a much sadder place without him.
My Network Marketing business is keeping me busy. It is NOT a get rich quick scheme. I am in it for the long haul. If you are coachable, you can be succssful. We have so many resources for you, it almost gets difficult to choose which method you are going to use.
I will be happy to help you be successful in your business. Just contact me at: Suzan Svatek, 1285 Old Annetta Rd, Aledo, TX 76008. Home Office No.: 817-441-1516 Also, you can contact me at: www.yourvitalself.com

My Journey
As I mentioned in my Bio, I have participated in Network Marketing for about 2 years, and with several different companies. I was part of Shaklee, a travel company I don't remember the name of.....whose President of the company took off with all the money and left the distributors holding the bag. Then I joined Nu Skin. That company really built its business by having the distributors "buy in" to the business and stockpile thousands of dollars worth of product to attain certain levels within the pay structure. They ended up in court in a class action suit, for which I was reimbursed for all the product I still had that I could not sell.
Needless to say, I was very, very skittish about joining another Network Marketing company. However, I believed in the process. I began to research companies and joined Herbalife. Then, I read about the pay structure, the fact that you had to buy leads at about $100 per lead. To have their website, you had to pay $59.95 per month. By the time I totalled up my per month cost, I would have to have an enormous amount of sales just to cover my monthly cost.
When I was researching other Network Marketing companies after I had joined Herbalife and spent $400.00 on my starter package, I found Mentoring for Free. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. How could there be an honest program that was devoted to being in service to others? Just didn't seem possible. Then I discussed with them what company they were affiliated with, they said they mentor ANY Network Marketing company and beyond. Much of what they train for, is applicable to ANY business.
I was intrigued. If I could have sponsors who were willing to give of their time and effort, for no monetary return, that was a group I wanted to be associated with. I dug deeper and finally learned that many of the people in the Mentoring For Free program were affiliated with a company named Vitamark. Vitamark is based in Houston, has been in business for 6 years and is growing by leaps and bounds. They have several "anchor" products: Limu Plus - a fantastic product that is having phenomenal results in increasing health for many different ailments, i.e., allergies, joint pain, chronic fatigue and much, much more. Then, they have just released a new energy drink that is Red Bull, without the sugar. It doesn't leave you with the jitters or a "let-down" feeling. It just gives you an awake and sense of wellbeing feeling. Additionally, it comes in easy to transport packets that you add to 12 - 16 oz. of water. It has a great lime flavor.
I could join for $29.95. I could join at the fast start level, receiving $650.00 worth of product for $495.00. That's how I joined. Additionally, you are given 7 websites FOR FREE. Then, on top of that, Vitamark has the best pay plan I had ever seen.
I am 6 weeks into working for the company and am still very much in training. I listen to about 12 training conference calls per week. I only need to purchase 100 bonus points of product every 12 weeks to stay as an Affiliate. I have access to my sponsor and HIS sponsor as often as I need to. I am handing out samples of the energy drink "Crave".
The Mentoring for Free program is set-up such that you will have prospects coming to YOU instead of you having to go out and talk to your family, friends, or co-workers. Your prospecting campaign is targeted towards people who are already familiar with, and interested in Network Marketing. THEY end up coming to YOU instead of you having to go to them. All this AND the Mentoring for Free program is helping anyone needing mentoring. It meshed with my intrinsic need to help others.
So, from this point on with my blog, I will continue to fill you in on my progress. Additionally, I want to add a little fun to my site by having a fun Quiz each time I post. The quiz for this posting is at: http://quibblo.com/quiz/6qPyvz/Personality-Type-Quiz What is YOUR personality type? Enjoy!!

Think & Grow Rich - Chapter 6 - Imagination
This is a fabulous book that is timeless. Though first written, shortly after the Great Depression of the '30's, it's message is timeless.
In my Mastermind Group, we discussed this chapter at length. This is my take on it. I'll publish others' understanding of it.
Chapter 6 – Imagination
There are laws of nature from which all things are created. It is either matter or energy. We live this daily just by observing our surroundings; the tangibles and the intangibles. The tangibles being the chair you are sitting on, the car you drive. The intangibles are things you cannot see, but are just as real as the tangibles, such as electricity and Imagination. Imagination is divided into two forms. Synthetic Imagination and Creative Imagination. Synthetic Imagination is the Mother of Invention. It is the process whereby we take what is known, rearrange it and create something new – an invention. Creative Imagination is that from which we draw upon Universal, Infinite Intelligence to create an entirely new concept, inspiration, or desire beyond what is in our current awareness. One’s only limitation for Creative Imagination is the boundaries you, yourself place on your ability to tap into it.
Creative Imagination is also the modality from which we can draw on the awareness and thoughts of others. In order to fully utilize Creative Imagination, you must practice its use or risk losing the ability to use it.
Synthetic Imagination is our “practical”, everyday imagination which is the one most used in the process of converting DESIRE to money. But Creative Imagination is the root of thought that creates the DESIRE. It taps into that which we don’t currently have in our awareness.
You create your thoughts by what you give precedence to. Your thoughts then create the circumstances of which you are thinking. Your reality is then manifested by your thoughts. “Therefore, what you think about – so shall you become.1”
DESIRE is a thought impulse, which is a form of energy. It is the same energy that has brought about all of creation in the Universe. You are now engaged in the task of trying to profit by Nature’s laws by endeavoring to convert DESIRE into it physical or monetary equivalent. You CAN do this. It has been done many times over. You can build a fortune through the aid of laws, which are absolute. The first step is in
recognizing and believing in these laws, and becoming proficient in their use through repetition.
Drawing on Creative Imagination, we begin to formulate DESIRE. Synthetic Imagination allows us to take those new thoughts and convert a DESIRE into tangible form, as in developing a PLAN with which to produce the physical manifestation of our DESIRE. The next step in fulfilling our DESIRE is to commit it to a WRITTEN PLAN. A WRITTEN PLAN takes on much greater power than just keeping the PLAN as a thought. After we have developed the WRITTEN PLAN, we must place a timeline on it in order to develop the drive to fulfill that PLAN.
Definiteness of Purpose is the beginning point from which all ideas begin. Definiteness of Purpose takes on animation, life & power. This SECRET is not truly a secret. Nature displays it creations continuously through everything in the Universe. Hill states: “The conversion of DESIRE into its physical equivalent is, certainly, no more miraculous.” All fortunes had their beginning point in first tapping into Universal Intelligence (Creative Imagination), and Nature’s Laws of energy & matter, developing a Definiteness of Purpose, and then transitioning that into Synthetic Imagination, which becomes an idea or a BURNING DESIRE. From BURNING DESIRE, a written PLAN is developed. All fortunes begin this way. You are only limited by the imagined restraints you place on yourself.
If you think Hard Work & Honesty alone are the keys to wealth you must change your prospective. Millions of people go through life waiting for the big “Break”. Breaks are certainly a plus and helpful, but Riches only come in response to Definite Plans and Goals, Determined Effort and by applying the Laws and Principles of Nature, not by luck or chance.
Success is not necessarily a direct path or smooth sailing. Just because you have a good IDEA, success does not automatically “show up”. Your Burning Desire must be able to withstand setbacks and disappointments. Definiteness of Purpose is mandatory in withstanding obstacles. The process of manifesting monetary gains from Creative, then Synthetic Imagination must be strong enough to dismiss all opposition.
The formula – Inception of an IDEA (Creative Imagination), Developing a BURNING DESIRE with DEFINITENESS OF PURPOSE, establishing a PLAN (Synthetic Imagination), committing that PLAN to it written equivalent, then establishing a TIME LIMIT will bring about success.
Mr. Hill states: “Success requires no explanations. Failure permits no excuses.”

Synthetic Imagination is our “practical”, everyday imagination which is the one most used in the process of converting DESIRE to money. But Creative Imagination is the root of thought that creates the DESIRE. It taps into that which we don’t currently have in our awareness.
You create your thoughts by what you give precedence to. Your thoughts then create the circumstances of which you are thinking. Your reality is then manifested by your thoughts. “Therefore, what you think about – so shall you become.1”
DESIRE is a thought impulse, which is a form of energy. It is the same energy that has brought about all of creation in the Universe. You are now engaged in the task of trying to profit by Nature’s laws by endeavoring to convert DESIRE into it physical or monetary equivalent. You CAN do this. It has been done many times over. You can build a fortune through the aid of laws, which are absolute. The first step is in
recognizing and believing in these laws, and becoming proficient in their use through repetition.
Drawing on Creative Imagination, we begin to formulate DESIRE. Synthetic Imagination allows us to take those new thoughts and convert a DESIRE into tangible form, as in developing a PLAN with which to produce the physical manifestation of our DESIRE. The next step in fulfilling our DESIRE is to commit it to a WRITTEN PLAN. A WRITTEN PLAN takes on much greater power than just keeping the PLAN as a thought. After we have developed the WRITTEN PLAN, we must place a timeline on it in order to develop the drive to fulfill that PLAN.
Definiteness of Purpose is the beginning point from which all ideas begin. Definiteness of Purpose takes on animation, life & power. This SECRET is not truly a secret. Nature displays it creations continuously through everything in the Universe. Hill states: “The conversion of DESIRE into its physical equivalent is, certainly, no more miraculous.” All fortunes had their beginning point in first tapping into Universal Intelligence (Creative Imagination), and Nature’s Laws of energy & matter, developing a Definiteness of Purpose, and then transitioning that into Synthetic Imagination, which becomes an idea or a BURNING DESIRE. From BURNING DESIRE, a written PLAN is developed. All fortunes begin this way. You are only limited by the imagined restraints you place on yourself.
If you think Hard Work & Honesty alone are the keys to wealth you must change your prospective. Millions of people go through life waiting for the big “Break”. Breaks are certainly a plus and helpful, but Riches only come in response to Definite Plans and Goals, Determined Effort and by applying the Laws and Principles of Nature, not by luck or chance.
Success is not necessarily a direct path or smooth sailing. Just because you have a good IDEA, success does not automatically “show up”. Your Burning Desire must be able to withstand setbacks and disappointments. Definiteness of Purpose is mandatory in withstanding obstacles. The process of manifesting monetary gains from Creative, then Synthetic Imagination must be strong enough to dismiss all opposition.
The formula – Inception of an IDEA (Creative Imagination), Developing a BURNING DESIRE with DEFINITENESS OF PURPOSE, establishing a PLAN (Synthetic Imagination), committing that PLAN to it written equivalent, then establishing a TIME LIMIT will bring about success.
Mr. Hill states: “Success requires no explanations. Failure permits no excuses.”

Are You Too Self Critical?
Too Self Critical? Here’s What to Do If You Often Treat Yourself Too Harshly
by http://www.sedona.com/
Do you fixate on the extra five pounds you need to lose, unable to take even the most sincere compliment about your appearance because of it? Or do you berate yourself because you bought your child’s birthday cake instead of baking it yourself, or perhaps because you can’t lift as much weight at the gym as you once did?
These are all examples of criticisms that we subject ourselves to on a daily basis. Not from other people -- you would likely shout angrily back at someone who would dare say such things about you -- but from yourself.
“Most of us are our own worst critics; however it does not need to be that way,” says Hale Dwoskin, CEO and director of training of Sedona Training Associates.
Yet, everywhere you go in life, there are expectations: achievements to be made, standards to be upheld, and levels to be reached.
While it’s normal, and even admirable, to always strive for the best, when you can’t accept yourself for being you, or for being sometimes less than perfect, you’re setting yourself up for an emotional disaster.
In fact, a recent study by psychologists at Curtin University of Technology in Australia found that people who engage in “all or nothing” thinking (such as “I think of myself as either in control or out of control”) were at a greater risk of becoming an extreme perfectionist. Health problems that surround such thinking include everything from depression to suicidal thinking and eating disorders.
In other words, the more you stick to absolutes, such as “If I’m not the wealthiest person in my neighborhood I’m useless,” the more at risk -- mentally and physically -- you are.
How to Accept Yourself, No Matter What
You owe it to yourself to be your greatest supporter -- not your greatest enemy. So how do you stop those nagging, self-sabotaging thoughts that run through your mind?
“The best way to stop them is to recognize that no self criticism is true -- no matter how convincing it is,” Dwoskin says. “Self criticism is always based on a feeling from the past, but since it is not true you do not need to believe it -- and you can choose to let it go.”
You can let go of negative, self-critical feelings just like you can let go of a pencil once you learn The Sedona Method -- a tool to release negative emotions that are holding you back from true happiness.
Dwoskin explains, “The best way to do this is to simply ask yourself, ‘Could I let go of wanting to criticize myself?’ Then choose to drop it.”
“If you want to stretch even further,” he continues, “you can give yourself some approval for no reason whatsoever.”
Let’s give this a try. Instead of putting yourself down for your bald spot, congratulate yourself for your perfect smile, your ability to talk to anyone or your professional-league golf swing. Now, which feels better?
Of course, complimenting yourself is always more enjoyable than criticism. And switching your negative thoughts to positive ones is something that you can do everyday, in every moment.
“It is helpful to develop the habit of finding things about yourself that you can love, appreciate and accept,” Dwoskin says. “Since the mind likes to have something to do, it is great to give it something positive to look for rather than looking for the negative as it usually does.”
