MLM List Building and Email Marketing Strategies

The ONLY person you need to impress is yourself. Yup, just you.

If you are like me, and I’m willing to bet you are a LOT like me, you have probably looked back at your life and thought about the mistakes you made along the way. I know I have, and one of the many mistakes I made was trying to impress other people.

One of the STUPIDIST things I EVER did was start smoking at age 8. Yes, 8 years old.. Just to look cool in front of the bigger kids that I raked blue berries with. Can you BELIEVE that?

Talk about stupid.

Then there was the time I got in a fight in the mill yard with a guy I had nothing against. NOTHING. Other than my friends said to HIS friends that I could beat him up. Oh I impressed them alright. I showed them how painful it was to become a human punching bag.

I was the bag. I got the CRAP kicked out of me. OH how impressive.

I mean let’s get real. I was a scrawny runt. When I graduated high school I weighed in at a whole 128 pounds. My arms were so small most guys WRISTS were bigger than my biceps. Even as a young adult I was ashamed of how small a guy I was. Hell, I wouldn’t even wear a tank top.

Trying to impress others never got me anywhere. It won’t get YOU anywhere either. You don’t need to impress your sponsor, your downline, or your coach. You don’t need to impress your family or friends.

But the one person you DO need to impress is yourself.

It’s pretty easy to impress others. It really is, at least for awhile. They don’t KNOW you. But You know you. You can not fool yourself.

So you have to impress yourself in a real, honest, authentic way. By what you can do. By what you accomplish. AND by who you really are. Do that and you will become unstopable. Because you will do more and more things just to impress yourself. You will become a better and better person just to impress yourself.

Now you can do what you want. But in order to be real to yourself, well, you have to be the real you. One thing I suggest is start going against the grain. When everyone says turn left, you turn right. If you feel like farting in public, let her rip! Whatever.

Your goal is not to become a social outcast or misfit. But realize that you are different and you WANT to be different.

Me? I’m always looking for little ways to be different. Not to be noticed but to be ME. When I was 38 I shaved my head. I’m not going bald. I just decided I might like it. I do.

My boss hated it. My mother hated it. But I LIKE it. Not a big thing. But’s it is me.

When I was 40 I finally got that tattoo I always wanted. I decided to heck with what OTHER people thought.  I put a BIG ol’ tattoo on my SCRAWNY little arm.

And it felt good because that’s who I AM, not what others wanted me to be. By doing what JEFF wanted to I further impressed myself, by being MORE myself. And people are DRAWN to that. They really are.

So first you need to BE yourself. Continue to find out who you are on the inside. Stop caring what everyone else thinks about you. Most of the time they don’t even notice or care anyway. They’re too busy worrying about themselves and what people think about THEM.

Then you can start doing the things you REALLY want to do. Not what people think you SHOULD do. Maybe it’s MLM. Maybe not.

Discover yourself. Impress yourself. And the world will be AMAZED. Or maybe not, but you won’t care anyway. Will you?
