Hello Everyone,
Like many of you I came to point in my life when I had finished a chapter and I began a new one in the book of life.
I started my new chapter with the idea that I wanted time freedom, I hated the job I was in and I didn't much care for my boss. She was a bit scary.
I had checked into many different home based businesses. It just seemed so appealing to me.
Work at home, in my pj's if I chose to, you know the whole freedom thing.
Well, the first business I tried was a skin care company, and they had wonderful products that I just loved, So I gave them a try.
I did all that my up line asked me to do, I did the facials, the home parties, even the expos shows.
I bought all the kits, I had to borrow the money for that! Yuck! I work very hard for 2 years. All I managed to do was go deeper in debt.
Well, after taking a huge loss in the tune of about 10k, I decided that I just could not go on. It was not going to work.
Round 2;
I joined a weight loss company. Hey, everyone wants to lose weight, right?. It worked on a binary pay plan. It looked so simple. I gave it try.
I did the classes, the advertising, walking the mall, the presentations, the brochures, the radio shows. I learned Michael Clouse's, "Prospecting 101" word for word and used it very well. I was really getting good at all of these things. I built a team of over 100 consumers. And then this thing called $4.00 per gallon gas issue happened. Well, needless to say people chose to use that extra money for gas for their car! Can you imagine?
One by one, my team fell away.
During this falling away process, I came to know and love Mentoring For Free. I realized that there is life after failure. I realized that it wasn't my fault.
During all of the failure process there was a "hope"in "Mentoring for Free" and in a wonderful book that my previous mentor introduced me to.
Reading the passage below has brought me through many let downs and has helped me to pick up my chin and hold up my head and make up my mind.
This wonderful book has helped me realize that I too have a decided heart. I will do what I need to do to make my dreams come true.
I can do this. I can be very successful. I can be a blessing to others.
Read, Enjoy and I hope you will want to hold these words close to your heart as I have done.
Have a prosperous day.

I Have a Decided Heart
A wise man once said, " A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Knowing this to be true, I am taking my first step today. For too long my feet have been tentative, shuffling left and right, more backward than forward as my heart gauged the direction of the wind. Criticism, condemnation, and complaint are creatures of the wind. They come and go on a wasted breath of lesser beings and have no power over me. The power to control direction belongs to me. Today I will begin to exercise that power. My course has been charted. My destiny is assured.
I have a decided heart. I am passionate about my vision for the future.
I will awaken every morning with the excitement about the new day and its opportunity for growth and change. My thoughts and actions will work in a forward motion, never sliding into the dark forest of doubt or the muddy quicksand of self-pity. I will freely give my vision for the future to others, and as they see the belief in my eyes, they will follow me.
I will lay my head on my pillow at night happily exhausted, knowing that I have done everything within my power to move the mountains in my path. As I sleep, the same dream that dominates my waking hours will be with me in the dark. It is a great dream, and I will never apologize for it. Neither will I ever let it go, for if I did, my life would be finished. My hopes, my passions, my vision for the future are my very existence. A person without a dream never had a dream come true.
I have a decided heart. I will not wait.
I know that the purpose of analysis is to come to a conclusion. I have tested the angels. I have measured the probabilities. And now I have made a decision with my heart. I am not timid. I will move now and not look back. What I put off until tomorrow, I will put off until the next day as well, I do not procrastinate. All my problems become smaller when I confront them. If I touch a thistle with caution, it will prick me, but if I grasp it boldly, its spines crumble into dust.
I will not wait. I am passionate about my vision for the future. My course has been charted. My destiny is assured.
I have a decided heart.
