Personal Growth and The Onion

Just like the popular cartoon character, Shrek, we are like onions.

 

shrek 

Ogres are like onions, we have layers.”

 

 

Our personalities, our inner selves, are made up of layers, like an onion has layers.

As we work on our personal growth, we focus on different issues, major and minor, as they surface in our layers.

Our issues are not settled in our psyches in a chronological fashion.

We deal with old feelings, events, insecurities and hurts…what we call our baggage…on a very personal level.

It is all about our readiness.

Personal development (or self help) is just that, personal.  As you, the individual, work on your self and overcoming your old baggage, you will work on your issues as you are ready to at the time.

 

How do you know you are ready to work on something?

You will see it for yourself!  Whatever you are not ready to deal with, will remain invisible to you.

Then, as you keep working on your personal growth, different layers of your onion will be peeled away, and you will begin seeing issues you didn’t realize were there.

One of the best actions I have taken in my personal growth is in joining the Mental Cleanse.  I know I promote this group a lot, but it is with good reason!

 

I have been through the mental cleanse about 3 or 4 times.

I came to the place where I felt I worked as far as I could with the mental cleanse, so I stopped participating.

I still did activities to work on my personal growth.  I read motivation and self help books and I participate in other trainings.

These actions have all contributed to helping me peel back more of my layers until I was ready to see the next major issue holding me back in my success.

As I spoke to one of my mentors about my revelation, she told me to do the mental cleanse again!

Well, of course, I thought it would be a waste of time, after all I have participated so many times before!

But after talking with my mentor a bit, I knew the wisdom in her advise. 

So, today I will be on the mental cleanse call and I will speak up and participate.

What Facebook Groups to Join

One of the activities Network Marketers engage in on Facebook is joining groups.

When your purpose is to network with other people involved in MLM who you may want to attract to your business, you want to join groups relating to network marketing and MLM.

You can also join groups whose interest is a particular company or specific lead generation system.

With these groups, the hope is to connect with others who may be struggling to make money in the company they are with.

Groups focused on more general topics like self development, internet marketing, or women in business, will have more members who are not involved in MLM.

While valuable for personal growth and learning, these groups are not as appropriate for finding potential business partners. 

You want to join groups that are active.  Those should end up at the top of your search list.

Look for number of members and see if people have joined recently.

Look on the group’s site and see if the group owner posts events and discussions on a fairly regular basis.

Once you join a group, pay attention to the messages the group sends you.

About once a week is enough, otherwise it gets too time consuming and annoying. 

Are they sending valuable content to help you solve your problems or are they spamming you for their opportunity?

If groups annoy you with their messages or event invitations, or don’t do anything at all (messaging encourages activity from other members) then leave the group.

Periodically go through your groups and leave the ones you are not active in or ones that are not growing or offering content.

Remember, your time is money. 

As an entrepreneur building a business from home…probably part time along with all of your other life’s demands…you cannot afford to waste time.

Pay to Learn How To Generate MLM Leads

 

 

Prospecting 103…the Professional Coach

 
Still can’t get it? Better head for some one on one Professional Coaching, Sister!

 

Yes, there must be something so terribly wrong with me that I need to plunk down a couple of grand to have an expert coach me through this process that is so idiotically simple for everyone else.

Fees do vary amongst the selection coaches who specialize in working with network marketers teaching us how to talk to Cold Market prospects.

How they offer their programs, content, length of time for training, and stipulations for personal individualized help also vary widely.

And they DO honor major credit cards.

Well, fortunately for this single Professional Mother of three, I didn’t have the cash OR the credit to take advantage of this golden opportunity.

So now what?

Now that everyone you know, care about and love…heck, even the people you ran into at the mall…are in the Prospect Protection Program, what do you do?


I have been fortunate enough to have learned the difference between one of these coaches and a Mentor.

Noun Singular mentor (plural mentors)

1. A wise and trusted counselor or teacher
Verb to mentor

2. (transitive) To act as someone’s mentor

A Mentor will build you the Person as the central part of what they offer you.

A Mentor will give without having any expectation of you the Person aside from your personal growth.

In the book, The Slight Edge, by Jeff Olson, the author talks about finding a mentor in Chapter 9. He says your mentor is like your hero.

You should seek out a mentor who is an expert in the area of your own goals and aspirations and focus on him/her.

Working with a mentor is learning through modeling.
