If you are addicted to facebook like so many people, it’s probably the most important thing in your life and you would love to know how to get more friends on Facebook. You may have spent months building up a list of friends but are only getting a few comments a day. It can be frustrating when you see that some people have hundreds more friends that you have.

It only makes you feel worse when you see that some friends get about 20 comments a day. In the facebook community, the number of friends on your profile is quite a status symbol. Building a list can be tedious, time-consuming and, often, unsuccessful. Here are some things you can try to increase your list of friends.

There are several ways of increasing your list. Firstly, go to your home page and click on ‘friends’, then select ‘find friends’. Next, search from contact lists of your AIM or email accounts, or click on ‘more ways to find friends’. This will enable you to search through your school, college or work groups.

When you see the name of someone that you would like to add to your list, click ‘add to friends’. He or she will get a notification that you have invited him or her to become your friend on facebook. They will have the choice to accept this request. Once accepted, this person’s name will appear on your list together with a thumbnail photo.

You can also source friends via your other friends. Have a look at their lists and include some names on your list. Once again, as soon as your invite is accepted, you can send messages and access their profiles. Another great idea is to find a group of people with interests the same as yours.

Facebook is also an effective medium to source clients if you run a business. Let’s say, as an example, you manufacture and sell clothes for babies. Look for a captive market, e. G. A group of women who are pregnant. Begin by giving out helpful information about infants’ clothing. Tell them they can contact you if they have questions or want advice about baby clothes.

If you are trying to learn how to get more friends on Facebook, whether for business or social reasons, you should also post blogs, videos, and articles. You could also buy computer programs to increase your friendship list. Some claim that you can make 500 new friends a day. So, perhaps it’s worth investigating this option further.

What does it really mean to give your very best?

Most people in life create imaginary barriers for themselves.

Even those that are successful somehow seem to limit the amount of success they create with their own limited beliefs.

How is it that on a rare occasion, a complete underdawg comes out on top?

Why is it that heart beats talent every time?

How does someone like Michael Phelps win a gold medal in every single olympic swimming event he participates in while others fall short by fractions of seconds?

It’s simple, and it comes down to giving your very best…

Here is an inspirational video, that applies to all aspects of your life…

I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!

Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out shouting, “Holy ***t……what a ride!”

Be sure to leave a comment, I look forward to hearing what you have to say…

Most people don’t realize the only person holding them back is themselves!

So what’s your excuse?

• Spouse wont let you
• Friends laugh at you
• It’s too risky
• Waiting for the right time
• Too busy
• There’s no guarantees
• Not good at selling
• Work a day job already

This list could have gone on forever, but the bottom line is you either have the desire to achieve your goals or you don’t.

Honestly ask yourself, is where you are today where you want to be tomorrow?

If not, try something new. People just like you are reaching their goals with this cutting-edge opportunity!

Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the past couple of days you know Barack Obama is now officially the 44th President of the United States, and you also know there is a great deal of buzz about the “change” there will be in the U.S.  and the world.

So my question to you is this…

If Barack Obama can pull the U.S. out of the greatest downward spiral since the great depression, why can’t you change your own life and solve your own problems?

Whether you believe he can do it or not is your own opinion.

Here’s 3 reasons why you shouldn’t wait around for the government, or Barack Obama for that matter, to solve your problems:

1. Time – Bill Gates has all the money in the world, but there is one thing he can’t buy and that is time.

   The financial problems the U.S. faces can’t be fixed overnight, it might take years, even decades for things to return to normal.If you really need change in your life it is up to you to take control and do it now!

2. Scope – I don’t mean to be the bearer of bad news, but the U.S. is in pretty bad shape. The list of chores is pretty long: Stabilize the Mid-East, save the economy, redevelop health care, fund social-security, improve education, stop inflation and lower unemployment to name a few.

   I’m not saying Barack can’t do it, I think he is very intelligent, but he simply wont be able to fix all of our problems. That’s why you need to take control of what you can. And if that means starting your own home business to solve the money problem then by all means!

3. Control – The government might be able to help you at some point in time, but you probably wont be able to control how much help you get or where you get it.

   It’s another reason why you are better off helping yourself because you can control what you need help with. Know one knows what you need help with more than you do. The government is limited to what they can do…but you are not!

You should be able to see why that even though this is a historic time in U.S. history, that you shouldn’t wait around for the government to solve your problems no matter what they are.

Start a home business and leave one less problem for Barack Obama to figure out for you! Join the home business gold rush…

The new year is in full swing and it is time to set goals and resolutions both personal and professional for 2009. But before you start setting home business goals, it is good to understand the importance of goal setting and how to do it right.

The secret to setting goals is to keep them realistic and create an outline or a plan to reach them.

You have to do more to reach your goals than just dream about them.

Goals like “Make more money” or “I want to retire” and “To quit my job” are not really goals, they are dreams.

Empty shell statements with no plan of action.

Goals have a specific plan of action attached to them.

In example:

Instead of “I want more money”

It should be something like “I want to make more money by starting a home business”

You then take it a step further and turn it into a REAL, SPECIFIC, MEASUREABLE, GOAL, when you say:

“I want to make more money by starting a home business selling XYZ product and dedicating 3 nights a week and $3500 dollars to starting this business.”

Do you see the difference?

One is a dream and one is a specific attainable goal with a plan of action for accomplishing it.

When you make goals more specific they become easier for you to reach because they are measureable and you can tell if you are making progress towards them.

So the next time you brainstorm goals for yourself make sure they meet 3 criteria.

1. Specific – Not broad generic statements or “dreams” as we call them
2. Measureable – How do you know you are making progress if there are no results to measure?
3. Attainable – Every goal should push your limits but still be a reasonable accomplishment

Following this advice will make sure you reach your goals by setting them the right way and be more productive as a result.

Goal setting is part of how NOT to fail in an online business.

If you have your own ideas on what makes an effective goal please share them and comment below. Differing perspectives always add value to the topic.

At first glance, “Secrets Of The Millionaire Mind: Mastering The Inner Game Of Wealth” by T. Harv appears to be a polished remake of Napolean Hill’s classic, “Think And Grow Rich”, but in acuality rivals the classic in both content and motivational value for wealth seekers.

The book is built upon the concept that rich people have a different “money blueprint” than the poor. If you want to become rich, all you have to do is change your money blueprint (thoughts and habits) to be that of a rich person.

In a recent scan of the book, I pulled out ten of my favorite quotes that Harv believes separate the wealthy from the lower and middle classes.

Secrets Of The Millionaire Mind Quotes, Top Ten!

1) Rich People Believe “I Create My Life.”

Poor People Believe “Life Happens To Me.”

Are you letting the current recession control your lifestyle or are you creating prosperity for yourself? FACT: More millionaires are made during downswings in the economy than during boom times. Change your perspective.

2) Rich People Play The Money Game To Win.

Poor People Play The Money Game To NOT Lose.

This does not mean go buck wild with your investment dollars, every business has inherent risk, but you can always stack the deck in your favor by taking calculated risks whether it be a new business opportunity, marketing system, or any other venture…

3) Rich People Are Committed To Being Rich.

Poor People Want To Be Rich.

It’s the small steps that you take everyday that lead to wealth. How consistent are you in taking action to move your business forward?

4) Rich People Focus On Opportunities.

Poor People Focus On Obstacles.

Do you view challenges that arise as problems or areas of opportunity? Shift your mindset to one of prosperity and abundance instead of scarcity.

5) Rich People Admire Other Rich And Successful People.

Poor People Resent Rich And Successful People.

6) Rich People Associate With Positive, Successful People.

Poor People Associate With Negative Or Unsuccessful People.

Your network determines your NET WORTH.

7) Rich People Are Willing To Promote Themselves And Their Value.

Poor People Think Negatively About Selling And Promotion.

True, but if you are applying the principles of attraction marketing correctly you will become the hunted instead of the hunter with a flood of prospects approaching you.

Rich People Choose To Get Paid Based On Results.

Poor People Choose To Get Paid Based On Time.

You’ll never get rich trading time for dollars…

9) Rich People Act In Spite Of Fear.

Poor People Let Fear Stop Them.

Take action! What are you waiting for?

10) Rich People Constantly Learn And Grow.

Poor People Think They Already Know.

School is never out for a pro!

One of T. Harv Eker’s first quotes in the book says it so well, “Your Income Can Grow Only To The Extent You Do”.

There you have it, my ten favorite quotes from Secrets Of The Millionaire Mind. Post a comment with your favorite quote or give me some feedback!

As a longtime student of network marketing, I have mentored with several multi-millionaires, from internet marketing experts to master prospectors like Jeffery Combs.

Every year Jeffery Combs holds a well-known conference in Dallas, TX called “More Heart Than Talent”, where many of the biggest names in the home business industry gather to speak. Individuals by the likes of Jim Rohn, Jerry “Rhino” Clark, and other big time leaders all present various topics in a power-packed two day personal growth and business conference.

It is an excellent event for anyone serious about succeeding in any type of direct sales or network marketing endeavor and I highly recommend it but that is not what I want to talk about today.

I want to dive deep into the meaning of the event, and what it really means to have, “More Heart Than Talent”.

What are your first thoughts when you hear this title? What kinds of emotions are triggered? Do you know someone that has more heart than talent?

What is fascinating to me is that the meaning of this phrase to me now is completely different than the meaning it took on when I was first getting started as an entrepreneur.

I understood what my mentor Jeffery Combs was saying on the surface, when he said that—you can show him the most talented person in the world and he will show you how to overcome that person’s talents with heart.

In other words, “Heart Beats Talent Every Time”, he would say.

What separates people that achieve greatness from those that live a quiet life in mediocrity is heart. You can call it what you want—it’s determination, commitment, persistence. It’s the unwavering desire a person has to achieve even their biggest goals and dreams in life and it is not something that can be taught.

Having led several different direct sales and network marketing organizations I can tell you without hesitation I would rather have one person in my organization with heart, than 50 people with talent alone.

How do you approach your business? Do you have heart? Are you determined to succeed? Or do you say things like, “I’ll give it a shot”, or “I hope this works”.

People with heart are empowered, and they empower others. They project confidence in reaching their goals, and do not “give up” if success takes longer than anticipated.

No matter what business you are in, give it all you have, never give up, and you’ll be amazed at the results you’ll achieve.

Approach your business with a More Heart Than Talent mindset and the sky is the limit…
