This is an extract from Tom "Big Al" Schreiter's Newsletter.
Well, it isn't magic. Things don't just show up.
We get our beliefs and programming over the years from:
* Programs that we are born with. Things like fear of falling or fear of loud voices.
* What our parents told us to believe. For our first few years, we don't have the mental brainpower to reason things out. So, our parents simply tell us what to believe and what to think.
* Teachers give us beliefs and programs. That is why we go to school, so that we can learn from the experiences of others.
* Friends. Oh my, the beliefs and programs that we pick up from our friends are mind-boggling.
* Television, Internet and newspapers. The more we are exposed to this negative input, the more negative we become. Of course, if we watched and read positive personal development, this would help us create more positive programs.
This list could go on and on, but did you notice something?
*** Most of the stuff inside of our heads was put there by others. We did not consciously make a choice to put it there.
Feel sad? Feel slightly victimized by others?
The reality is: this is how we get stuff inside our heads.
Can we change this? Of course we can. We can make a conscious choice to put new programs and new information inside of our heads. How do we do this? Here are two quick ways.
1. Personal development. This is why there are positive mental attitude audios and books. We need to balance out all the negativity that has been put in our heads.
2. Who we associate with. Yes, people rub off on us. We have all heard the famous saying that we are the average of our four or five closest friends. If we want to improve ourselves, we should improve the people we associate with. I like to use a "soundbite" to describe this phenomenon. My friend Jake Pena says, "If you hang around four broke people, I guarantee you will be number five." (I know what you are thinking. I should hang around skinnier people.)
One of the premier benefits of network marketing is that we get to hang around more positive people. Because our environment is more positive than associating with negative relatives and in-laws, many people are attracted to our business for the personal development aspect only. They would be happy with network marketing even if they did not get a bonus check!
Yes, not every distributor in our organization wants to make network marketing a full-time career. Maybe they already have full-time careers that they feel comfortable with. They just enjoy having a more positive influence in their lives.
Network marketing is easy to share with others, because we have so many great benefits that they can take advantage of.

Are You Using Word Pictures?
This is a direct quote from a "lesson" that my good friend Tony Koker posted in our Think And Grow Rich Lessons forum :
CHAPTER 12 (Think And Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill)
Our Subconscious Mind
As I've written about before, the one thing we have complete
control over is our mind. And, finding techniques to program our
subconscious mind is a key. It is the calculating part of our mind
that takes what we feed it, reformulates and combines to produce
answers for us. It is also useful to echo back emotionally charged
input, like our self-talk or auto-suggestion, to remind and drive
our conscious mind. Now I am going to relate another useful
technique, word pictures.
Although the stories we create, using word pictures, are also more
powerful when they can be connected with strong emotions, I am going
to focus on a word picture, and leave the emotional connection up to
you and your personal experience.
Network marketing is not a sales business, it is a relationship
business. I am referring to relationships between like-minded people,
who have established and built a rapport with each other.
The story and word picture involves this relationship between
people. I like to think of the connection between people, in network
marketing, MLM or direct sales as an elastic rope. When we promote
products, services or a business opportunity, I visualize having this
rope in hand and throwing it out to people. If they happen to catch
it, which many do not, I then find myself with the task of trying to
push up the hill to success in front of us. Have you ever tried to
push a rope? If we do manage to get people behind us and are able to
pull, we find they often dig in their heels, and resist us. This
causes us significant additional and repeated effort.
On the other hand, if we are promoting ourselves, and how we can
help others, we are free to catch the rope that they throw to us. We
are then able, not only to pull them forward, since they are willing
participants, but we are able go do so that they can be propelled
forward, in front of us. When the rope stretches, we then find
ourselves propelled forward in front of them, again. In this manner
we are altenatively pulling-through and riding forward together.
I am hopeful that you will find this helpful as I do.
Thank you to all who participate in this fantastic pull-through forum.

Tap Into Your Subconscious Mind
This is a direct quote from a "lesson" that I posted in our Think And Grow Rich forum :
CHAPTER 12 (Think And Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill)
THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND
THE CONNECTING LINK
The Eleventh Step toward Riches
I always find this chapter facinating. It is gratifying to find out that you have this vast source of knowledge you can tap into.
Ever since I started following the principles outlined in this book, I have been able to remember more of my life than ever before. I simply have to close my eyes and think about an event from my past and it is like a movie playing in my head. Of course the more significant events are easier to remember since they were imprinted more deeply. Such events as when I saw Edna the first time when she entered the dance hall, when she walked down the aisle on our wedding day,
when I first layed eyes on each of our three children and each of our six grand children. I could go on and on. There are so many memories that it is hard to believe that we can store them all in our brain.
So how do you develop this ability. First you have to quiet the chatter in your mind. You do that be saying your POSITIVE self talk over and over and over again until it becomes a habit and becomes automatic like a song that you hear and gets stuck in your head. Make your self talk be that song.
I am grateful to Michael and Linda for creating MFF and the Mental Cleanse.
I am grateful to all who participate in the Mental Cleanse and share their insights.
I am grateful to all who download STS and allow me to help them grow into the person they were meant to be.
I am grateful to infinite intelligence for giving me incites that I can share with you.

Is Your WHY Strong Enough?
This is a direct quote from a "lesson" posted by my good friend Ed Rands in our Think And Grow Rich forum :
Chapter 9 - Persistence (Think And Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill)
It's January, the season for many people to come up with New Year's resolutions, and then promptly give up on them. Research says just 8% of people actually achieve their resolutions.
Whether it's at new year's, or any time of year, it's quite common for goals to never be achieved, even when it's a matter of life or death. When told by their doctor they need to make some dramatic changes or be dead in two years, well over half the people presented with such a choice think, “Hmm. Give up my life… or give up bacon. My life… or bacon. Let's have some bacon!”
How come?
A huge factor in whether you will reach a goal, or throw in the towel, comes down to one, single word question.
“Why?”
Imagine that inside your mind is a balance scale. One side is labelled “Why To”, the other side is labeled “Why Not To.”
Every time you are faced with a decision, your mind reaches into its repository of info and experience, pulls out a bunch it believes relevant, and places each item on the appropriate half of the scale. Different items will have different significance and, therefore, different weight. Whichever side comes out heavier, that's what you will go with.
Let's imagine that in front of you is a cookie.
That cookie is your favorite flavor. That's a why to.
You have a goal to lose 10 pounds, and that cookie will not help with that. That adds to the why not to side.
But you can just taste it already, and you're salivating like Pavlov's dog. Why to.
Then again, you've been single-mouthedly responsible for eating all the rest of the cookies in the bag. And that's just since this morning. Gluttony guilt; that's a why not to!
But it's just one more cookie. It won't make much of a difference. And.. is that cookie singing? “Lonely. Feelin' so lonely now that I am all on my own.”
Sigh! The scales are close, but I'm going to eat the cookie just so it stops taunting me.
And so it goes, day after day, for every decision, often in a split second. Weigh it out, and go in the direction that is heavier with reasons.
Therefore, in order to achieve any objective, you must have heavier, more impactful reasons on the side of why to.
The heaviest reasons are emotional. It doesn't matter where you are on the scale between a feeler and a thinker, you're still an emotional creature who will often make decisions based on emotions.
We often get derailed from our objectives the easiest by emotional roadblocks. We need emotional rocket fuel to keep us propelling forward.
The bigger, and scarier the objective, the heavier your whys must be for the goal to survive and you to persist. If you're trying to slay a mighty dragon, or wrestle the most terrifying of inner demons, you need a why or whys so powerful they can make you cry. Yes, cry. Anything less potent, and eventually something will overpower you and you'll give up.
Some of the most emotionally powerful motivations are for or about other people.
For example, you might be wanting to eat better and exercise more. Great benefits to yourself. But what about also doing it so you can be lively and energetic to play with your children or grandchildren for years to come, and live long enough to witness significant moments in their lives. Or live long enough to actually grow old with your spouse, or to be more lively and energetic to play with them in the meantime.
Make sure you write down your whys along with your goals. You'll likely need the reminder along the journey.
In conclusion, I'd like to share with you just a couple of my powerful whys, which are carrying me forward through the muck, towards some of my biggest dreams.
I've mentioned before that my mother died when I was very young. I believe one day I will get to see her again. I want to meet her with a smile on my face, feeling I did well with the precious gift of life she gave me.
In a previous lesson I also mentioned that at my funeral, I want lots of people saying I positively impacted their life, directly or indirectly. Even though most of them are unknown to me yet, they are all a why.
As much as I'd like to start today charging into the battlefield to be the one to help, the painful-to-admit fact of the matter is that for the moment, I am still one of the ones lying wounded and bleeding, in need of the help. As I am faced with swallowing my pride, admitting I can't pick myself up by my own bootstraps, feeling temporarily emasculated, and learning to accept the help of others, I have to keep those and other powerful whys constantly in mind, so that I will allow myself time and process to heal.
Ed Rands
So whatever it is you are working on, fuel it with powerful whys, and make 2016 your best year yet.

What Is The Biggest Decision You Have To Make?
This is a direct quote from a "lesson" posted by my good friend Tuula Rands in our Think And Grow Rich forum :
Chapter 8 - Decision (Think And Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill)
What is the biggest decision we have to make when we join
a Network Marketing company? Is it the decision to actually
join? Is it the decision to do the first step?
I believe the biggest decisions we have to make
is the decision to make our own decisions.
Hill tells us "Close friends and relatives, while not meaning to
do so, often handicap one through “opinions” and sometimes
through ridicule, which is meant to be humorous. Thousands
of men and women carry inferiority complexes with them all
through life, because some well-meaning, but ignorant person
destroyed their confidence through “opinions” or ridicule."
If our family or friends are not building a Network Marketing
business, THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT WE KNOW and therefore,
they are not qualified to make a decision about what we are
doing. So why do we listen to them?
We listen to our family and friends because we want their
approval; as if their approval is going to make the difference
in whether we are successful or not. It will only make a
difference if we allow it to, whether for the positive or for
the negative.
Do we approve of everything our family and friends do?
Do they follow all the things we tell them? Do we agree
with them all the time? The answer is probably "NO" to
all these questions? So why do we put so much weight
into whether they approve of what we are doing?
Hill tells us "You have a brain and a mind of your own,
USE IT, and reach your own decisions."
Hill also states “TELL THE WORLD WHAT YOU INTEND
TO DO, BUT FIRST SHOW IT.” This is the equivalent of
saying that “deeds, and not words, are what count most.”
Michael tells us to build our business and when we are
making good money our family and friends will see it and
then they may ask us what we are doing; and if they don't
ask, they don't want to know. So don't tell them.
Just think of all the self doubt, the worry and agonizing we
save ourselves when we make that initial decision of making
our own decisions and not worrying what our family and
friends think.
Hill also tells us "Those who reach DECISIONS promptly
and definitely, know what they want, and generally get it.
The leaders in every walk of life DECIDE quickly, and firmly.
That is the major reason why they are leaders. The world has
the habit of making room for the man whose words and
actions show that he knows where he is going."
DEFINITENESS OF DECISION always requires courage,
sometimes very great courage."
It takes courage to become a leader. Leaders make decisions
and follow through with those decisions regardless of what
friends and family think. The only people we should listen to
are the one who have done what we want to do.
The sooner we make the decision to make our own decisions,
the faster we will grow into the leader we want to become.

Chapter 8 - Decision (Think And Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill)
What is the biggest decision we have to make when we join
a Network Marketing company? Is it the decision to actually
join? Is it the decision to do the first step?
I believe the biggest decisions we have to make
is the decision to make our own decisions.
Hill tells us "Close friends and relatives, while not meaning to
do so, often handicap one through “opinions” and sometimes
through ridicule, which is meant to be humorous. Thousands
of men and women carry inferiority complexes with them all
through life, because some well-meaning, but ignorant person
destroyed their confidence through “opinions” or ridicule."
If our family or friends are not building a Network Marketing
business, THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT WE KNOW and therefore,
they are not qualified to make a decision about what we are
doing. So why do we listen to them?
We listen to our family and friends because we want their
approval; as if their approval is going to make the difference
in whether we are successful or not. It will only make a
difference if we allow it to, whether for the positive or for
the negative.
Do we approve of everything our family and friends do?
Do they follow all the things we tell them? Do we agree
with them all the time? The answer is probably "NO" to
all these questions? So why do we put so much weight
into whether they approve of what we are doing?
Hill tells us "You have a brain and a mind of your own,
USE IT, and reach your own decisions."
Hill also states “TELL THE WORLD WHAT YOU INTEND
TO DO, BUT FIRST SHOW IT.” This is the equivalent of
saying that “deeds, and not words, are what count most.”
Michael tells us to build our business and when we are
making good money our family and friends will see it and
then they may ask us what we are doing; and if they don't
ask, they don't want to know. So don't tell them.
Just think of all the self doubt, the worry and agonizing we
save ourselves when we make that initial decision of making
our own decisions and not worrying what our family and
friends think.
Hill also tells us "Those who reach DECISIONS promptly
and definitely, know what they want, and generally get it.
The leaders in every walk of life DECIDE quickly, and firmly.
That is the major reason why they are leaders. The world has
the habit of making room for the man whose words and
actions show that he knows where he is going."
DEFINITENESS OF DECISION always requires courage,
sometimes very great courage."
It takes courage to become a leader. Leaders make decisions
and follow through with those decisions regardless of what
friends and family think. The only people we should listen to
are the one who have done what we want to do.
The sooner we make the decision to make our own decisions,
the faster we will grow into the leader we want to become.

"To Be Or Not To Be" Or Is It "To Do Or Not To Do"
This is a direct quote from a "lesson" posted by my good friend Ryan McChesney in our Think And Grow Rich forum :
Ryan McChesney Tampa, FL, United States

Chapter 8
Decision (Think And Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill)
Everybody knows one of the most famous plays written by William Shakespeare called Hamlet. In that play, there was a classic line that really ties into this chapter, “To be or not to be…”
I remember back when I was in high school, and I was just listening to the other students read the play to the class. But when I heard this line, it really stood out to me; and it also made me pause and think about it. It was like when you are driving down the road and you pass your street that you were supposed to turn on. Then you had to slam on the brakes and back up to it. Well, that is exactly what this line did to me as well as the class. We discussed it throughout the class period. However, I did not realize the true meaning behind this line until recently.
This famous line has to deal with our decision making. And decisions are ultimately what makes us either successful or not successful. Let me explain this a little further. So you come up with a thought or dream that you can’t stop thinking about, and your body is fueling up with this burning, white hot desire. You keep picturing it and picturing it and picturing it, but then you decide that you are going to do it. Then you decide that you are not going to do it. And you keep going back and forth just like the saying, “To be or not to be…” When you constantly are deciding that you are going to do it and then not do it, you are like a car that stops and goes. You will ultimately confuse your subconscious, which will then effect the other previous steps towards riches that we have learned.
Therefore, one must learn to make a decision in order to become successful. Even Hill states in this chapter that people who fail to accumulate riches have the tendency to be influenced by others’ opinions, and cannot make a decision. Yeah, it is going to take a lot of action, persistence, and patience to become successful, but it will all be worth it in the end. So don’t procrastinate on making decisions, or else opportunities will pass you by. When you start to make decisions by yourself and quickly, then you will receive this energy that you have never felt before. It is like you have control, and you are know where you are going. Trust me, once I started to apply this and make decisions on my own, I have noticed a different me.

Why You Need To Have Faith And How To Induce IT
This is a direct quote from a "lesson" posted by my good friend Margi Starr in our 30 Day Mental Cleanse forum :
Chapter 3—Faith (Think And Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill)
I met Michael and Linda Dlouhy seven years ago in Houston, Texas.
I had heard Michael's voice many times on the MFF calls (as I sat quietly
in the shadows) and when I met him in person, I was even more
awestruck by his larger-than-life personality.
Aware that many of the people at the event would be on tight budgets,
Michael and Linda had coolers filled with food in their suite. By the end
of the event, I found myself dining at their table, grateful for their
generosity, and mesmerized by every word they spoke.
With such little faith in myself, I found I could hang onto their Faith.
Several years later I was in Florida and the Dlouhy’s took a group of us
to Clearwater Beach. Walking barefoot in the sand to the water's edge,
Michael said, “When you really believe you can do this, it will happen.”
Encouraging words for sure, but so frustrating! How does one achieve
that level of belief???
Here’s what I’ve discovered…
First, it takes time. We hear about the newbie marketers who rocket
to the top of their companies within the first year or two. Hurray for
them, but that is probably the exception. For most of us, it’s the daily
retraining of our minds and growing our belief systems.
At first it’s fun to do Self Talk and read Personal Growth books. After
a while, it’s not so fun. That’s when it becomes work and only the
Warrior perseveres.
It’s the Warrior who continues to do Self Talk, despite hearing the
“No’s” or feeling “blah.”
It’s the Warrior who continues to read Think and Grow Rich over and
over again as well as other personal growth books when others are
reading romance fiction.
It’s the Warrior who continues to stay plugged into Mentoring for
Free calls and company calls.
It’s the Warrior who writes Think and Grow Rich lessons week after
week after week allowing the concepts to sink deeper into the sub-
conscious mind.
It’s the Warrior who retreats into her office to write a blog, post
Instagram pictures or watch a Periscope by business leaders, while
others in the house are watching movies.
It’s the Warrior who continues to Dream when others say,
“Network marketing doesn’t work for me.”
The FAITH part of network marketing cannot be underestimated.
When nurtured day by day, week by week, year by year, it grows
and expands, vanquishing doubt and disbelief.
Faith. Always. Triumphs.
