My college basketball coach had a sign up in the lockeroom that read:
"A PERSON SHOW'S WHO THEY ARE....BY WHAT THEY DO....WITH WHAT THEY HAVE"
It's been quite a few years but I've always remembered those words.
They've served me well many times. Tough games as the "runt" on the
team....school....military service....family....my business....and just life in general.
To me it means victory doesn't always...or have to...go to the person who is bigger, faster, smarter, richer, more educated, more experienced, better
equiped, and so on.
Victory goes to the person who makes the most of whatever skills, values,
tools, and circumstances they've been blessed with.
Look at our industry and you'll see it doesn't take a Harvard MBA or birth
with a silver spoon to be successful. It doesn't give you an edge.
Most of our success stories are people of modest "have" who made the most of
that.
Victory is also defined by the person.
It needn't be the "million dollar earner" tag. It may just be enough to pay off the bills, get some breathing room, send a child to college, replace an old car, cover the mortage, buy extra groceries, get one spouse home with the kids....whatever.
The victory takes the form of any improvement in one's life .... defined by that person....and achieved by making the most of their "have".
So.....celebrate every victory.
And show us "who you are".
Is Skype Taking Over VoIP In North America??
If the news from broadband management company Sandvine is any indication...the answer is yes. At least for residential anyway. Calls using Skype account for nearly half of the VOIP minutes used (46.2%) and about 40% of the VOIP bandwidth used in North America, according to an analysis done by Sandvine. That puts Skype usage ahead of Vonage, Cablevision, and other popular branded residential VOIP offerings. In fact, Sandvine says Skype users account for 35.8% of individual VOIP callers on North American networks.
VoIP Training Center
There's a nice little VoIP training center courtesy of VoIP News anyone interested in VoIP should visit. Actually it's a comprehensive listing and review of training and certification programs offered around the world, online, and in CDs, videos and books. Perfect resource for every business considering deploying VoIP technology is some form or other.
MLM Company Directory....Use It!
If I've said it once I've said it a million times....when looking for a business for God's sake PLEASE do your homework. Part of that due diligence means you must learn as much as possible about the company (or companies) you're looking at. One very nice resource to help you do this is the MLM Company Directory at MLM.com. You'll find information on commission plan, sales method, product, their stock symbol and market reports if they are a public company, an expanded company description, any press releases from the company, and more. As most of this info is supplied by the company itself....be aware that it may sound a bit biased. But it is an excellent place to start and is reviewed for facts before publishing by InfoTrax Systems (owner of MLM.com).
