First of all I want to wish you and your family a HAPPY NEW YEAR celebration and a blessed year 2011 ahead with much JOY, HAPPINESS and PROSPERITY!

The end of a year always holds something good for us.

It allows us to reflect back to see what we achieved and to plan ahead on how to surpass yesteryear without the failures of the past.

For me, 2010 was an awesome year with oodles of excitement as well as increasing my knowledge and results in building my Network Marketing business.

Many people crossed my path during the last 12 months.

I have been so blessed to help alleviate people’s frustrations when it came to understanding how to build their network marketing businesses.

I found during our conversations that many people face the same challenges.

The challenges I heard included

1. How to find qualified people to talk to without emptying the bank account or maxing out credit cards;

2. How to put all of the information available out there into an organized system to be able to learn the skills needed to bring results;

3. How to logically evaluate opportunities in order to avoid scams and find the best business to build one’s dream income.

Now, what about YOU?
How did you do during the last 12 months?

Did you find the solutions you were seeking to bring you your MLM business success?

As it turns out, the path to success is traveled following a specific step by step process.

An important part of your business success includes personal development.

One of the books I have enjoyed immensely is The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey. 

The great thing about investing your time into personal development is that it impacts your entire life, not just your business.

Over on Facebook, I have a group called  The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People for MLM & Network Marketing.

Several times a month, I host discussions on the book.  I decided to make double use of my efforts and share those discussions here.

The next step in the lessons about our paradigms, or our perceptions or assumptions, is the Paradigm shift.

Often in life we are faced with circumstances that challenge the way we view the world and interact with it.

Covey gives several examples of paradigm shifts in our history…

• Ptolemy believed the earth was the center of the universe,
• Copernicus created a paradigm shift by proving the sun is th ecenter of the Universe.
• Sir Isaac Newton shited paradigms in Physics
• Albert Einstein shifted paradigms in Relativity.

About Paradigms Shifting, Covey says,

 “…whether they shift us in positive or negative directions, whether they are instantaneous or developmental, paradigm shifts move us from one way of seeing the world to another. And those shifts create powerful change. Our paradigms, correct or incorrect, are the sources of our attitudes and behaviors, and ultimately our relationships with others.”

On a more personal level, we often experience Paradigm Shifts when we…

• face a life-threatening crisis
• suddenly step into a new role (spouse, parent, manager, etc.)
• come face to face with a stranger undergoing a hardship and find ourselves involved in some way.
  

All of these events and more, minor to major, cause us to almost immediately to reorganize our priorities.

Anyone of you remember the total avalanche of feelings that came over you the first time you held your newborn child in your arms?

Talk about some Paradigm Shifting!

Seeing is Being.

Some Paradigms shift quickly and some shift over time. In order to SEE something differently, we need to BE differently.

This requires investing in the growth and development of our own characters.

Most people in MLM have read Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich”.

While reading Chapter 7 {Organized Planning—The Chrystallization of Desire into Action} recently, the section on the Self Analysis Questionnaire grabbed my attention.

Hill advises that these 28 questions should be an annual end-of-year self-analysis.

We need to do this BEFORE making our New Year’s Resolutions. (I actually prefer New Year’s Goals.)

The purpose of this Questionnaire is to uncover a decrease in our faults, shortcomings, or weaknesses, and an increase in our virtues, assets, and strengths.

This will give us an honest evaluation of where we need to start with our Goals for 2010.

Below I have listed Hill’s
SELF-ANALYSIS QUESTIONNAIRE FOR PERSONAL INVENTORY.

1. Have I attained the goal which I established as my objective for this year?

2. Have I delivered service of the best possible QUALITY of which I was capable, or could I have improved any part of this service?

3. Have I delivered service in the greatest possible QUANTITY of which I was capable?

4. Has the spirit of my conduct been harmonious, and cooperative at all times?

5. Have I permitted the habit of PROCRASTINATION to decrease my efficiency, and if so, to what extent?

6. Have I improved my PERSONALITY, and if so, in what ways?

7. Have I been PERSISTENT in following my plans through to completion?

8. Have I reached DECISIONS PROMPTLY AND DEFINITELY on all occasions?

9. Have I permitted any one or more of the six basic fears to decrease my efficiency?

10. Have I been either “over-cautious” or “undercautious”?

11. Has my relationship with my associates in work been pleasant, or unpleasant? If unpleasant, has the fault been partly or wholly mine?

12. Have I dissipated any of my energy through lack of CONCENTRATION of effort?

13. Have I been open minded and tolerant in connection with all subjects?

14. In what way have I improved my ability to render service?

15. Have I been intemperate in any of my Habits?

16. Have I expressed, either openly or secretly, any form of EGOTISM?

17. Has my conduct toward my associates been such that it has induced them to respect me?

18. Have my opinions and DECISIONS been based upon guesswork, or accuracy of analysis and THOUGHT?

19. Have I followed the habit of budgeting my time, my expenses, and my income, and have I been conservative in these budgets?

20. How much time have I devoted to UNPROFITABLE effort which I might have used to better advantage?

21. How may I RE-BUDGET my time, and change my habits so I will be more efficient during the coming year?

22. Have I been guilty of any conduct which was not approved by my conscience?

23. In what ways have I rendered MORE SERVICE AND BETTER SERVICE than I was paid to render?

24. Have I been unfair to anyone, and if so, in what way?

25. If I had been the purchaser of my own services for the year, would I be satisfied with my purchase?

26. Am I in the right vocation, and if not, why?

27. Has the purchaser of my services been satisfied with the service I have rendered, and if not, why not?

28. What is my present rating on the fundamental principles of success?

With Tomorrow being the LAST day of 2009, NOW is the BEST time to complete the questionnaire.  This will prove to be one of the predictors for your business success in 2010. 

Remember to share your answers with your mentor.

Enjoy the end of this year and this decade!

Next step is to work on your goals 2010!
