Eric Worre 5 Essentials for Success
03rd July 2009
If you have not visited NetworkMarketingPro.com do it now and catch up.
This 15 minutes of video is a small taste of what is possible for you.
Passion… Be Yours… don’t compare
Consistency… be UP and ON in public. [Plan your work, work your plan... HOURS/ day 5-6 days a week]
Focused … identify the actions that produce desired results… do them, improve them
Patience… it takes a large lump of coal serious time and serious pressure to become a diamond. I will on purpose. It is a 10,000 hour investment of focused time.
Hustle… work hard… the ‘work’ will inspire your passion and those around you. The payoff is lifestyle and who you become.

This is 42 minutes and a bit dry. Watch the first minute and the longer you think about it the more upset you will become.
Commitment is Accountability minus Involvement.
28th April 2009
I took a course years ago called “Commitment: The Power of Your Word.” I have forgotten most every course or class I have ever taken but not this one. It is one of the few courses I still have the notebook with my notes.
What did I see and learn in the course? Commitment is the backbone, strength and driving force of achievement — the triumph of possibility over resignation, of creation over change, of your word and deed over all the practical reasons why “it can’t be done.” Commitment begins with our speaking and listening. It is our word that has the power to create a future and alter what’s possible, leaving us fully in accord with our own possibilities and those of others. Commitment is the difference between involvement and accountability. It is taking responsibility before the fact rather than after the fact.
The short version is words matter and your word matters most. A quote from the course, which was filled with quotes and which I reread often, is:
Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no one could have dreamt would have come his way.
I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe’s couplets:
“Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.”
from “The Scottish Himalayan Expedition”
by W. H Murray
What does this mean? Everyone is committed to something. What you have and where you are now is what you being committed looks like. The power of commitment makes nothing happen, it only makes it possible. If you are ready to engage in what is possible in your life and turn your dreams into reality we should start a conversation.

A Twitter Strategy. What’s yours? Is it working?
02nd April 2009
Twitter is a huge party. Some people think they are at the hand-out-my-bizcards party. They may be just as boorish in real life as they are on line. Highly likely in my view.
When I began at twitter I researched and studied each person I followed and everyone who followed me back too. I followed and studied people with huge lists because I decided I would have a huge following also. At some point the amount of time I allotted for twitter would not support growing with the methods I was using. There is a lot of ‘noise’ around 5000 and it gets louder the more followers you have who you follow back. One way to eliminate the ‘noise’ is how Mike Dillard has done it. Others, with even larger followings, have done the same. Will I unfollow enmass? No, it does not fit into my Twitter strategy. You need to have one.
As the number I follow or who follow me reached 500+ a day it is not possible to nurture each seed like I did in the beginning. I noticed some things in the beginning though, that if you pay attention, you will notice for yourself. I spend a portion of the day on twitter following PEOPLE. I don’t follow dogs, or iconic letters, businesses or other non people. I follow people who fit my earlier study too and now I can tell who they likely are in just a ‘blink.’ Look closely and you will know who to follow also. As a general rule I follow back everyone who follows me, no matter who or what they are. If you invite me to your party, I will invite you to mine. If you do not follow me back in a day or so, I will return the favor. No attachment to who accepts your invitation means it doesn’t mean anything if they do or they don’t follow you.
When I am in ‘tweet’ mode I interact with many people at once. I have other tasks assigned to the day and do not let twitter out of its time slots. People interact on twitter using the @ sign and if they follow you, you can DM them. People also retweet (RT) tweets they like or appreciate others have tweeted. The people who notice me, I notice them. DM back, RT others and interact in real time are a few obvious ways to play on twitter.
Every day people also unfollow me. Everyone has their own reason. It may matter to some but not to me. The majority I unfollow in return. Something about birds of a feather rings true for me. I unfollow people first also but usually after some kind of interaction. What people tweet can be easily taken out of context and I need more info. Personal interactions that violate me or my party will have me unfollow and in rare instances block someone.
Twitter, in my view is a great way to meet new people, engage in conversations and maybe, just maybe make a difference with those who want to play full court. Play with me at Http://Twitter.com/Iceburner
