The Science of Getting Rich

I love this book...it was written by Warren D. Wattles and published way back in 1910.  It's in the public domain so you can search for it online and download it for free.

Whatever Happened to Dora Moore?

This four part story was inspired by a period in the life of Dora Maar.  Dora Maar (November 22, 1907 – July 16, 1997) was a French photographer, poet and painter of Croatian descent, best known for being a lover and muse of Pablo Picasso.

This four part story will be presented over the course of the next four weeks or the next 30 days in 100 word segments.  The rationale for this will be explained at the end of the 30 days, or at the end of the story, whichever comes first.

Part One--Alone in Her Own Bed


2/23/11  Her name is Dora Moore. She has medium brown hair and green eyes. She's five feet, eight inches tall and weighs one hundred and twenty five pounds. She got married (against her parent’s wishes) to a Navy man when she was 19. She gave birth to a beautiful baby boy six months later. They struggled to make ends meet. They argued.  Sometimes he'd leave the house and not return until very late.  One night, while she was holding the baby, he yelled at her. The baby started to cry. Dora started to cry. He started to cry. “I’m so sorry!”

How to Help People Get What They Want

If you believe in your network marketing product or service and you're having difficulty making sales or finding recruits chances are you are not contacting enough people.  I know, contacting people can be scary. You know what it's like to be approached by someone trying to get you to buy something you don't want or need and you don't want to inflict that same feeling on other people. Plus you know some (OK, a lot) of people aren't into (OK, hate) Network Marketing (OK, MLM). So you make up excuses not to contact more people. So, what can you do? First, you have to develop the mindset that when you contact someone you are not doing it to interrupt their life--you're doing it to help them.  But if you haven't done any research or asked any questions how do you know HOW you can help them?  Start out by saying hello, or commenting on something they said, or thanking them for something they've done. Everyone loves to be noticed and appreciated as long as it's sincere.  Break the ice, be gracious, and be patient.
