Network Marketing training: two things I learned from my children

I always pay attention to the Network Marketing gurus. I always feel like I'm missing something big when I don't watch every video or read every email. I have to remind myself what my focus is at the moment so I don't have the temptation to use my productive time as training time.

But I also learn constantly from my children.

Today they were my gurus, my mentors, my trainers.

It's not like I learn something new. It was more like a reminder of what I can be.

Let me tell you:

The first lesson came from my oldest son.
He has been afraid of the water for a long time. He was always uncomfortable with the idea of Swimming Lessons. He even got stuck in Boy Scouts, he couldn't go further because the was lacking the Swimming part.

I told him that we will take care of that this Summer.

It's the Law of Attraction. I also call it an answered prayer. One of his Scout Masters got in touch with us about possible private Swimming Lessons. My son made a face when I told him he was going.

Fast forward two weeks and almost daily lessons, he passed his Swimming Test. To see him jumping off the board and getting to the other side safely was one of proudest moments as a mom. Then his coach said that she had never seen anyone working so hard without complaining.

He did it. So can I. He taught me to give the best of me, to work hard without complaining. He can jump off the board. So can I.

The second lesson came form my daughter. It was simple yet beautiful.

She was looking at the "Central Penn Parents" magazine. An Ad caught her eye. It was about a contest for the next Cover Child.

She asked me if she could enter. She saw the rules and it was like they were just an invitation for her to participate. Nothing seemed hard to do or like an obstacle. She doesn't even know if she is too old already.

"So?" she asked. I asked back "What if you don't win?". Her answer: "It's okay, I still want to do it".

So what if she doesn't win? She was already a winner in my eyes just for making the decision to go for it. She is not looking at the possibility of not winning. She is looking at the possibility of doing it.

And so can I. She didn't see the obstacles, why should I?

Did I mention my son is 13 and my daughter almost 8?

Aren't children the best thing ever? What have your children taught you?

America the beautiful

I was getting ready to record a video to say Happy 4th of July and my 3 year old started to knock on the door. Of course, he won't take a "Wait a second". I wanted to make a video, my son came, I still got to do it...

So Joaquin and I are wishing you a Happy 4th of July. I have some questions for you in this video that the song "America the beautiful" made me think of when we were in Church today.

Happy July 4

Do you want to win the race?

I just read an excellent post by Danielle Zack about what we need to do to win a race.

What is your "race" or "races" right now?

In this blog post you'll find how you can win any of them. I like how a cartoon can still have a great message:

Do you want to win the race?

I love it when we learn things from our children. Danielle was doing a house chore while her daughter watched TV. Without knowing, she was going to be reminded of an important lesson. And she shares it with us like the great leader she is.

Danielle Zack is a Mom building her business online from home. She is passionate about teaching others the steps to success in MLM. I know you can learn more than 10 things from her.

Network Marketing Moms: are we lead-ers and leaders?

I just came up with the first one: Are you a lead-er?

The life of a Network Marketing business is having leads. The goal of Online Marketing is to attract prospects, to implement ways to generate our own leads. We can be the ones creating leads, lead-ers.

Have you read any of the information that is around about Internet Network Marketing, Attraction Marketing or similar (either from me or other authors)?

Then you know that is possible to generate your own quality leads.

You have to be a lead-er, the one who creates leads.

And you have to lead your prospects, teach them how to build a business. You have to be a leader.

Take the time to work on yourself. See yourself as a leader, the one who leads, who inspires, who influences people.

A good leader knows the people s/he is helping and leading. Do you know what your niche subject is? How can you become a “lead-er” in your niche?

A leader is always learning. Learn a little bit more about what you want to teach.

Is it important to be a lead-er and a leader? Why? Leave a comment about it and share this post with your network. Thanks!

Confessions of a Working from Home Mom

I've posted about Time Management for Network Marketing Moms before. I have insisted in the importance of working at least a little bit every day and focus on productive activities.

Well, I have to confess that I am not doing that. Shame on me! That is why in my last post I commented on how I like that basically anything you produce online stays there forever. I have worked every day before and now my content can generate me more leads time and again. But it is also important to keep the content fresh.

When we are Working from Home there are things that we can't control. I just gave up making a video for my blog after accepting that we need a new microphone. I have also accepted that these months I'm less productive because I am focusing on my guests (my mom and niece are visiting from Peru and staying with us until April).

As I get used to my new routine, I make an effort to stay connected and be honest with you. Success does not come without persistence. I will persist. I will work even when each day is not that productive.

I insist that Working from Home is a challenge when, like me, you are raising a family at the same time. We need to be patient. Sometimes that means accepting our limitations and keep working nevertheless. If you can't work every day, what about few hours a week? Maybe you can distribute the hours in slots of 20 minutes each time.

How do you face your daily challenges in building your business? I know you have something to confess too! Leave a comment about it!

Work at Home Moms: How to manifest your desires like a child Part 2

In the first part I told you a little about How to Manifest your Desires. It is a big and important part of personal growth and maybe you have been applying Principles of Manifestation without being aware of it. I am convinced I manifested my soul mate without knowing it (my husband, in case you are wondering).

One important aspect of Manifesting your desires is to see them in your mind as if they were already true and actual. The present is the only reality in your mind. That is why you have to think about what you want in present time and feel it. And I just witnessed a Manifestation of the Desires in a simple, innocent and beautiful way.

Last Friday I picked my mom and my 4 year old niece up from the Airport. They came all the way down (or “up” actually) from Peru to stay with us for few months. My niece has been thinking about her first visit to the States and what she is going to do ever since she knew she was coming, about three months ago.

The most powerful thought and image in her mind was the snow (she has never seen any). She kept asking me if there was going to be snow for Christmas. I promised her more than once that she was going to see snow but I could not assure her when.

In her mind she was already playing with the snow, making snowmen, throwing snow balls at her cousins (my children), taking pictures, etc. I was amazed when I learned that the Storm was basically following them! She even asked me to buy carrots to use as noses for the snowmen. We made it safely to our house on Friday evening and the next morning everything was white.

My niece manifested all the snow she wanted. She played, threw snow balls and made Snow Angels. She is not a bit tired of all the snow. The only thing left is the Snowmen and by now you must suspect that she will have that too.

Yes, I think the snow is her fault. Or rather, the Manifestation of her Desires.

I learned so much from this! I have learned basic principles of Manifestation but it’s not enough to learn. We have to know, to remind ourselves of them and to apply them constantly. Hey, if a 4 year old can manifest this much snow, we can do anything!

Work at Home Moms: How to manifest your desires like a child - Part 1

If you are not familiar with the concept of Manifestation, it basically means the materialization of your desires and dreams. Being Work At Home Moms, we need to have dreams, goals and a plan to make it happen.

The manifestation of your desires is an essential part of your business’s success because it will be the materialization of what you want. Why are you in business? What do you want to achieve? What do you want to manifest?

It can be a steady passive income that will allow you to travel the world. It can be to write a Best Seller book. It can be to send your children to any School. Anything that gets you going in your business is what you want to manifest.

There are MANY resources out there that can explain you How to Manifest your Desires. I picked this article because it summarizes the principles I like the most and it gives concrete advice and more resources. Here is another great article about Shifting your Vibration to Manifest your Desires.


In the next part of this post I will focus on the importance of believing that you already have what you want. The reason for this is that I have witnessed a beautiful example of manifestation.

I can only tell you that I think I know whose fault the Snow is.
