For most of us, life would be very different without limbs wouldn't it?

How would you cook, eat, go to the bathroom, get dressed, climb stairs, get from place to place, type on a keyboard, move a mouse, use the telephone… in fact how would we do most things that we do?

If you fell over…. how on earth would you get back up again?

How would you become successful in your life and succeed AGAINST ALL ODDS?

When you learn to THINK outside the box… EVERYTHING BECOMES POSSIBLE.

The video towards the end of this post shows how Nick managed to overcome his disability and conquered the HUGE MOUNTAIN of a challenge to become successful and use his situation to INSPIRE and MOTIVATE other people and change their beliefs about what is possible…

I believe that we should all be GRATEFUL for whatever we have right now in our life. Be happy and content with what we've got…

BUT, definitely STRIVE to be better. Don't let things get it your way. Don't let set backs stop you…

Dream building is a very important part of the success ladder for without dreams, you'd have nothing to aim for.

Every morning I wake up, go into my office (in my house) and look at my dream board. It inspires me to work as hard as I do. It motivates me through the tough times and shows me why I do what I do.

I also thank god for what I have in my life right now. Gratitude is an incredibly important part of my life.

Everyone has dreams when they're younger, but many people give up on them because they feel they can't ever achieve them! Well, with that attitude, they never will…

But…

It doesn't matter what your current situation is, it doesn't matter what your disabilities are, it doesn't matter what your current mindset is, you CAN change it and achieve those dreams and goals that you once had as a child.

After all, why shouldn't you? You are just as good as the next person! You're unique, have your own talents, and have so many things you can offer other people.

Remember – You can have everything you want in the world as long as you help enough people get what they want!

That's a very important quote and statement, and that's why the network marketing industry is so powerful. That's what we do… help OTHER PEOPLE get what they want!

There are NO EXCUSES. If you want something back enough, you HAVE to put everything you've got into making your life a success, and achieving those goals and dreams.

If you've never heard of Nick Vujicic before, check out this video for inspiration. It just shows how ANYBODY from any walk of life can INSPIRE others…

Nick touches people's lives where ever he goes. He shows people that no matter what happens to you, you just get back up time and time again until you achieve what you want.

Everytime I watch that video, it brings a tear to my eyes.

Nick is someone who never let life or situation get the best of him and I vote that we all should do the same.

So, I'd like to open this up and ask you… how do you motivate yourself, what drives you on, and what dreams and goals do you have for yourself, family and friends?

What are you GRATEFUL for? What are you happy in your life RIGHT NOW?

Before I commence with my regular blog posts & trainings, I just wanted to give you an update on how things went with the wedding and honeymoon, as it's been almost a month since I talked to most of you.

The wedding was as close to perfect as you can get & everything went according to plan. The ceremony, the vicar, the company (family & friends), the food & drink and the photo's were all fantastic.

Oh yeah… I also got to marry the woman of my dreams!

As you can imagine, I was pretty nervous about the wedding speech as it's a very emotional time. I planned it all out on small cards and practiced it a few times so I'd remember what I wanted to say. (Well, maybe I practiced it a few hundred times

Here's the speech for you to watch…

My brother and best man Dan also did a fantastic job with his speech and as with many weddings, he had the audience in stitches!

If you aren't already my friend on Facebook, then drop me a friend request at http://www.facebook.com/gavinmountford and you can see some of the photo's from the wedding and learn much more about me and what I do.

For the honeymoon, we went to Mexico. Swam with dolphins, toured around the pyramids and old civilization, learned about the Mayan people, relaxed in top class accomodation, bathed in crystal clear waters and had an absolutely wonderful time.

I wanted you to see the swimming with dolphins video we had recorded. This is definitely an experience I'll never forget and if you ever get the chance to do it…. then go for it!

Everytime I watch it, it brings a tear to my eyes.

So, I'm back after almost a month away and I'm really ready to get back into the swing of things and continue to coach people to use Social Media to build multiple income streams online.

I'm excited for what is about to happen and I'm looking forward to the rest of my life and working with many people I can share it with!

You may have noticed I've gone a little quiet over the last few weeks in posting to my blog…. but I've been busy working on our wedding preperations (and there are a lot of them).

If you didn't know, I'm getting married to my beautiful fiancee Pippa on 3rd October 2009 and I can't wait!

It's going to be a great day, lots of friends and family there who I haven't seen for a long time and I get to marry the love of my life

So, if I don't post again for a while, you'll know why…

Wish me luck and I'll be back soon with lots of photo's and videos!

Thanks,

Gavin

WOW!

What a fantastic response we had for out first Webinar *How To Use NLP To Really Grow Your M.L.M Business*….

I was BLOWN AWAY when I heard all the positive feedback we'd received…

It seems we really HIT the nail on the head with this topic and I'm so GLAD of that

I'll give you the link to last weeks RECORDING and tell you how to register for next weeks webinar in just a second….

…But, before I do, I just wanted to go through a few key issues FIRST.

You see, having the right MINDSET and being in CONTROL of your own brain is absolutely critical to your success.

I could hand you the keys to a castle that has $1 MILLION in gold bars in it….

Show you EXACTLY how to find the money and even load the gold bars into a cart for you to take home…

BUT…

Unless you had the right mindset to OVERCOME the obstacles, barriers, blockages and fears that litter the road home…

You'd hit a BRICK WALL on your journey home and wouldn't be able to get over it.

Feeling incredibly FRUSTRATED with yourself because you're SO close to SUCCESS.

Yes, there are SO MANY courses & systems online that show you *how* to get free leads and show you how to make *money*…

But, that's NOT enough…

So, whats stopping you living your DREAMS?

Why are you STILL searching?

The hard truth is…

It's actually ourselves that stop us and we SABOTAGE our own success, time and time again.

JUMPING from one thing to the next…

Buying training courses and then QUITTING before we finish…

Joining MULTIPLE opportunities and then QUITTING before we have success.

I know, I've been there before and done it myself.

SO…

What Alix and I are doing is creating trainings and webinars that give YOU
the tools to be able to WORK on your own mind and to enable you to understand your prospects MUCH better!

Which in turn will help you BUILD a bigger DOWNLINE and motivate them to do the same.

This is KEY to your SUCCESS…

If YOU don't take the time to learn how your own brain works, then NO ONE
else will….

…and you'll look back in 5 years time and you'll still be in the same place
financially, BANGING your head against the exact same wall.

So, take ACTION whilst you still can and learn how to use NLP to grow your M.L.M business.

Once you've got your MINDSET right, you'll become SUCCESSFUL very QUICKLY.

Watch last week's webinar here:

>>> http://www.gavinmountford.com/blog/using-nlp-to-grow-your-mlm-business-webinar-1

Register for Tuesdays webinar here:

>>> http://mlmbraintrain.com/webinar

Bear in mind that we had a LOT of participants on last week's webinar and
many of those people have already REGISTERED  for this week's webinar….

So, register as QUICKLY as you can and I look forward to meeting you on
Tuesday again.

PS. Could you do me a favour? Forward this email on to any friends or DOWNLINE member who you feel would benefit from this Powerful Free training…

I've been doing a lot of RESEARCH over the last 3-4 years, and do you know what I've found?

…and don't LAUGH when I tell you this, but…

People are different… completely different.

We all THINK differently, have different values, beliefs, motivations, needs, desires, goals and use different language patterns etc….

We all see the world through a UNIQUE set of filters.

But even as obvious as the above statement sounds…

Most of us still STRUGGLE to earn an extra income in our Network Marketing businesses.

So, Why is that and why do some people SUCCEED where others fail?

What are the things that create the DIFFERENCE between success and failure in our lives?

If you're anything like most of the people I speak with on a regular basis, you just want to EARN an EXTRA $500-$1000 per month in income…

But for some reason, you just CAN'T earn it…

Why is that? What's causing this struggle? and what are you doing to SABOTAGE your success?

MAYBE it's it a…

* Lack of time?
* Lack of Knowledge?
* Lack of a mentor?
* Lack of a system?

Or maybe, it's something completely different…

I know when I was struggling in my business many years ago, I had all the RESOURCES I needed but still couldn't create a SUCCESS.

I was BATTLING with my own mind…

…and not suprisingly, I couldn't get rid of it…

I found myself JUMPING from one business, one training program, and one system to the next and just couldn't work out WHY I was doing it.

I also struggled to MOTIVATE myself to pick up the phone to call prospects…

So, when I really began to learn how my MIND worked, I started having MASSIVE success in my business.

I've partnered up with NLP trainer and MASTER practitioner Alix Martin to deliver a series of webinars to help YOU understand your mind and other people's.

Initially, we're putting on 3 COMPLIMENTARY training sessions….

…and I'm able to give you FIRST notification of this, before Alix notifies her list.

Each webinar will COMPLIMENT the next and will really cause you to THINK about how you can use these skills to really GROW your business.

Once you've got these skills, NO ONE will be able to take them away from you, and you'll QUICKLY find that you'll be able to:

* MOTIVATE your team and downline more effectively.
* PERSUADE people more easily.
* Create instant RAPPORT.
* SPONSOR people much quicker into your business.
* Create the perfect POSTURE.
* Keep yourself and your team FOCUSED.
* UNDERSTAND how other people think differently and position your message to be understood.

So pop this time and date in your DIARY quickly before something else gets in your way!

The first WEBINAR is called:

How To Use NLP To Explode Your M.L.M Business Overnight…

and will be…

Tuesday August 18th – 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM EDT

Click the link below to register…

>>> https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/911898474

For the first few webinars, we're keeping numbers to a minimum so spaces are EXTREMELY limited.

If you are SERIOUS about your business and earning that extra income I strongly recommend REGISTERING as soon as you read this blog post to avoid missing Alix's fantastic information.

She's got 15 years worth of experience in NLP and I'm bringing my Network Marketing EXPERIENCE to the table also…

It took me a long time to PERSUADE Alix to put on these webinars for us, and I can't wait for you to see what she's going to do.

See you there!

I am currently working a full time day job as an assistant manager at a local petroleum station/mini mart.  I have been there for about 3.5 years now.  I have had several jobs in the service industry ranging from an RV and spa resort, Denny’s, a movie theatre,  Hollywood Video to now the mini mart.

I have always worked my way into the management positions regardless of what the type of business I was in at the time.   I can remember in high school that I wanted to be a manager of a business but had no clue of what type.  Well I succeeded even if it was for a short while of being the store manager for Hollywood Video.

Over the past ten years, I have also been dabbling with the network marketing industry.  I have tried several different types, and I just couldn’t find the right match until a few years ago.  I had to find something that was unique and not everyone else was promoting.  Although, like you I was doing what my local leaders were doing and kept running into a brick wall.

It wasn’t until about 6 months ago that I decided that maybe I should start doing some more investigating on the internet and truly find out about other coaches and mentors who have been doing this a lot longer than myself as well as my local leadership.

I was introduced to Mike Dillard and learned about Attraction Marketing.  Wow! What a concept.  You mean I can stop chasing people and make them find me!

I started to truly just take the time in getting to know people so that they became trusted friends.  People buy from people not because of the need for the product.   If you can’t take the time to get to know your newly found friends, then why would they take the time to listen to your pitch?

I started listening more.  I now write down these new facts about my new friends on a 3×5 card so that I can use my notes when I do follow up with them.  What a difference this makes when following up!

After meeting a few people through twitter and then also following them on Facebook, I was introduced to yet another concept called Permission Marketing.   And after being on Twitter for a few months, this concept totally made sense to me.  Get to know me, like me and trust me and ask permission if I would like to hear about your opportunity.  Nothing makes me more upset with spammers and people who assume I want what they have through an automated DM!

Once I started practicing Gavin’s principles and philosophies, everything changed.  I still work my primary business.   However,  I have found a system that works for anybody in the industry regardless of what product they  have.  As my friend Maggie states, “It’s the missing link to network marketing!”  This now allows me to not only duplicate this with my downline but with other people in the industry who need a system!  http://www.newhorizons72.sponsordaddy.net

Network Marketing is a people business.  If you work to develop your people, the people will work to develop the business.  Personal development is crucial to any leader whether its working for yourself or in the corporate world.   So why not take that first step and join us in the entrepreneurial world and learn what the school system didn’t teach you.

You can follow me  through any of my social networking sites.   I look forward to getting to know you and helping you on your journey to the other side!

See you at the top!

I'm still here, plugging away in the background Recently been on a Hypnosis course and have an 8 day full time NLP course to attend next week, so won't be updating my blog during that time.

I've just finished my SponsorDaddy team's replicated sales page full with autoresponders etc.

This page converts like crazy and I'm looking forward to MASSIVE duplication for all my team members in their business with this 3-step success system.

I'd strongly advise not looking at the page below, because I know how well it converts… so if you're not looking to not get dragged in to a system that can help you with your primary network marketing company, don't click the link.

(That was a complicated paragraph to write, but fun never the less…

http://motivation.sponsordaddy.com/leaders.html

(Don't say I didn't warn you

That's my personal link to my replicated page. Each of my team has a page the same with their details on.

With the SD system, it doesn't matter what company you are in, you can have a custom capture page designed to fit you and your team.

I joke you not… the more I work with this company, the more I can see even more potential for networkers looking for a way to SIMPLIFY and DUPLICATE.

I'll see you after my NLP course has finished, and you may begin to notice some massive changes in me, my writing and my videos…

In this video chat, Gregory Elfrink and I talk about branding yourself online and using attraction marketing and a powerful system to build up your primary network marketing business.

Click here to view the embedded video.

You'll learn about our powerful team with the SponsorDaddy system and how it all works and fits together to help you market your network marketing opportunity.

Do you think you can? or you can't?

Either way, you are right… Whatever you think, you will turn into reality.

So… instead of thinking negative thoughts and thinking that you can't do something… think positive and know that you can succeed at whatever it is you are doing!
