~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Today's Top Email
During my second month of college, our professor
gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student
and had breezed through the questions until I read
the last one:
"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"
Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the
cleaning woman several times. She was tall,
dark-haired and in her 50's, but how would I know her name?
I handed in my paper, leaving the last question
blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if
the last question would count toward our quiz grade.
"Absolutely, " said the professor. "In your careers,
you will meet many people. All are significant They
deserve your attention and care, even if all you do
is smile and say "hello."
I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her
name was Dorothy.
2. - Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the Rain
One night, at 11:30 p.m., an older African American
woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway
trying to endure a lashing rain storm. Her car had
broken down and she desperately needed a ride.
Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car.
A young white man stopped to help her, generally
unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960's. The man
took her to safety, helped her get assistance and
put her into a taxicab.
She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his
address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a
knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a
giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A
special note was attached.
It read:
"Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway
the other night. The rain drenched not only my
clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along.
Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying
husband's bedside just before he passed away... God
bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving
others."
Sincerely,
Mrs Nat King Cole.
3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember those
who serve.
In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less,
a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and
sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in
front of him.
"How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked.
"Fifty cents," replied the waitress.
The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and
studied the coins in it.
"Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired.
By now more people were waiting for a table and the
waitress was growing impatient.
"Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied.
The little boy again counted his coins.
"I'll have the plain ice cream," he said.
The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on
the table and walked away The boy finished the ice
cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress
came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the
table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish,
were two nickels and five pennies..
You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had
to have enough left to leave her a tip.
4 - Fourth Important Lesson. - The obstacle in Our Path.
In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a
roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if
anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the
king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by
and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the
King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did
anything about getting the stone out of the way.
Then a peasant came along carrying a load of
vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the
peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the
stone to the side of the road. After much pushing
and straining, he finally succeeded. After the
peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed
a purse lying in the road where the boulder ha d
been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note
from the King indicating that the gold was for the
person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The
peasant learned what many of us never understand!
Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve
our condition.
5 - Fifth Important Lesson - Giving When it Counts...
Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a
hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who
was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her only
chance of recovery appeared to be a blood
transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had
miraculously survived the same disease and had
developed the antibodies needed to com bat the
illness. The doctor explained the situation to her
little brother, and asked the little boy if he would
be willing to give his blood to his sister.
I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a
deep breath and saying, "Yes I'll do it if it will save
her." As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed
next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing
the color returning to her cheek. Then his face
grew pale and his smile faded.
He looked up at the doctor and asked with a
trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away".
Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the
doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his
sister all of his blood in order to save her.

PREVIEW OF UPCOMING CALL. BOOK SEGMENT
Snakes in Suits
When Psychopaths Go To Work
Paul Babiak, Ph.d. & Robert D. Hare, Ph. D.
This is an important book to know - as we have all been mislead by charming - but greedy, charismatic thieving con people. This type of person only wrecks havoc and hell wherever they go. Learn to identify them - in advance - for the safety and health of your personal life plus your business, team and company. .... Pat Crosby
http://Pat.SuccessIn10Steps.com
Let's say you're about to hire somebody for a position in your company. (Or recruit them onto your team. Or find them in your organization somewhere.) Your corporation wants someone who's fearless, charismatic, and full of new ideas. Candidate X is charming, smart, and has all the right answers to your questions. Problem solved, right? Maybe not. We'd like to think that if we met someone who was completely without conscience -- someone who was capable of doing anything at all if it served his or her purposes -- we would recognize it.
In popular culture, the image of the psychopath is of someone like Hannibal Lecter or the BTK Killer. But in reality, many psychopaths just want money, or power, or fame, or simply a nice car.
Where do these psychopaths go? Often, it's to the corporate world. Researchers Paul Babiak and Robert Hare have long studied psychopaths. Hare, the author of Without Conscience, is a world-renowned expert on psychopathy, and Babiak is an industrial-organizational psychologist. Recently the two came together to study how psychopaths operate in corporations, and the results were surprising. They found that it's exactly the modern, open, more flexible corporate world, in which high risks can equal high profits, that attracts psychopaths. They may enter as rising stars and corporate saviors, but all too soon they're abusing the trust of colleagues, manipulating supervisors, and leaving the workplace in shambles.
Snakes in Suits is a compelling, frightening, and scientifically sound look at exactly how psychopaths work in the corporate environment: what kind of companies attract them, how they negotiate the hiring process, and how they function day by day. You'll learn how they apply their "instinctive" manipulation techniques -- assessing potential targets, controlling influential victims, and abandoning those no longer useful -- to business processes such as hiring, political command and control, and executive succession, all while hiding within the corporate culture. It's a must read for anyone in the business world, because whatever level you're at, you'll learn the subtle warning signs of psychopathic behavior and be able to protect yourself and your company -- before it's too late.

JUST A FEW TEAM BRAGS THIS WEEK
1. Report from Cheryl Henderson. GO CHERYL!
Hi Pat,
I’ve already told Lynn most of what I’m excited about and she suggested that I share it with you. Now, let me see,
1. I’m proud of myself because I spoke to 4 people about Mentoring For Free and suggested that they download the e-book before they decide to work with any particular company. It was a natural conversation, without any stress (on me!) and made me feel good.
2. I have been using the skills that I’ve learned from Mentoring for Free and from you to make my personal life better while I grow my business. I’ve been working on listening better and trying to understand why someone else’s behavior really gets under my skin. The benefits that I’ve reaped so far was demonstrated this week during the midst of the chaos of my donations to the Salvation Army, cleaning the house in preparation for the new furniture and my husband. Because I have been working on listening more than speaking, my husband became quite Blue with me and told me a lot about himself and his personal demons. I know that this wouldn’t have happened in such a positive way without the skills that I’ve been studying over the past six months.
3. I forgot to mention this to Lynn, but I purchased a new domain name (I know I’m addicted – LOL!), but this time it’s for keeps. Both you and Lynn have been patiently explaining the need to brand myself. So, my new domain name is CherylCHenderson.com. I’m using it on Facebook (in case you’re there) and will be using it on my new advertisements. I have long avoided using my name because I was hiding my profession from others. Now, I’m more secure in the knowledge of how the business works and I’m not afraid to come out of the shadows.
4. I am reading the book Secrets of the Millionaire Mind – Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth by T. Harv Eker. It is really helping me delve deeper into my “financial blueprint” and understand some of the choices that I’ve made. This is helping me to revise my financial blueprint.
So, I guess I’m really excited about finally turning into the person that I always knew I could be if I gave myself the chance.
Thanks and lots of love,
Cheryl Henderson-Khalid

Pat Crosby & Lynn Rothfuss - Duplicating The Masters.... Travel & See Your Downline
Hi Team,
Wow!
Join us tonight as 2 globe-trotting distributors share the lessons learned on the grand adventure of travelling and see the downline worlds.
Lynn Rothfuss & I will share the lessons learned, truths unveiled, and skills developed on our mega travels.
Two of the greatest networkers in the world - Tom "Big Al" Shreiter, and Richard Brook (Mach 2 With Your Hair On Fire), both subscribe to the leadership style of travelling and visiting with their team members in their own back yards.
So I thought I would duplicate this strategy... especially as it also co-incided with getting out of the deep-freeze NY mountain winter this year :)
So shortly after the first freezing ice storm, I set out from the NY mountains on Dec 10.
1st stop: NJ to visit with Lynn Rothfuss & John Maeder.
We learned to use Flip Video cameras, made videos, pal-ed and pow-wowed. Bonded, and strengthened our relationships.
2nd stop: Charlottesville, VA - Home of Art Jonak's alma mater, and one of his mentors, John Milton Fogg. We did a phone interview with John, co-hosted with Richard Dennis. Good thing, too! The icy blasts that night interferred repeatedly with my phone connection - so Richard and John kept it going.
Leadership Lesson: TEAMWORK WINS :)
Thanks to team member Marge for hosting us so generously :) Thanks, Marge!
3rd stop: Monticello, FL. 3 days with Richard Dennis & family. How inspiring to meet a green master in his home lair. We talked a lot, (yep - a green talked a lot) and practiced making videos. Got one online so far....
Picking the brain of a master marketer like Richard (creator of Dead Doctors Don't Lie) is .... well.... words fail me ..... let's just say he is beyond brilliant. I am learning to LOVE learning how greens think!

I am busy catching up with posting the call replays of the weeks I was on the road. Right now, you can hear Laura Lucas & Rick Berry's conversation on Lessons Learned from the Diamond leaders on the above link.
Laura Lucas - Gaining My Personal Power - What I Have Learned From Series of Diamond Calls
I also hope that RicK Berry can share his thoughts and experiences.
1a - Beginning with Cynthia Breeds presentation about the products she uses and the benefits she is experiencing.
>>Cynthia helped me appreciate that some of my personal "2-week Trials" were not long enough to truly experience the potential benefits. I need to allow more time for an accurate measure and likewise when I suggest other people "try-it."
1b - In the second half-hour, Vicki Rodonus spoke about record keeping and Tax deductions.
>>Each year I get a little better with keeping track of receipts for tax-time itemization. As a develop a "PROFESSIONAL" mentality I realize that "I stop by the grocery while out to get office supplies; NOT stop by the office supply store while out getting groceries." These are miles I need to log and itemize for my taxes.
I took Vicki's advice and bought a small mileage log book to keep in the console of my vehicle at all times. I am learning to manage my money, records, and taxes like "the bigs dogs." I am developing the habits of a Professional.
Rick also reminded us of the resource available in Vitamark Bookstore :http://toolscart.com/comersus6f
"Lower Your Taxes Big Time" by Sandy Botkin
2 - Richard Dennis spoke about time management and how he structures his day.
>>One of my greatest personal challenges is time management. So I was an eager listener. Although I am not an early morning person, I have managed to use my 30-minutes with my cup of coffee as time to respond to emails or prepare mailings before I start my necessities of getting ready for my J.O.B. This can free up more time in the evening to call leads, advertise, or network.
I have to admitt, I already liked index cards :) I appreciated Richard's suggestion of writing "to-do" items individually so he could sort, prioritize, and keep handy in a shirt pocket. In addition to keeping notes, I jotted down several topics and replay code # so as my monthly alotted sell-phone minutes allowed I could dial-in during my commute to/from my J.O.B.
Rick commented that time management and taking action are both things that can be developed as habits--and a new habit can be established in 21 days. Habits build Success.
3 - Sarah Thompson shared her daily method of operations and candidly spoke of her hestitations.
>>WOW!! Did I need to hear that I'm not the only one that gets "right-on-it" if it's to help someone else, BUT "drag-my-feet" if it's time to make my own calls (or action steps). I have to often remind myself that once I start I'll enjoy it & feel more energized (because I always do), but that if I put it off even for a "good" excuse I'll only feel bad and disappointed the rest of the week.
The tickler file system was also a "golden nugget" at the right time. I have been trying to keep all my notes in a steno notepad. And, honestly, I have misplaced a few customer-type leads (name/number). The morning after Sarah spoke I went out to get what I needed to create my own tickler-file. As it turns out, just in time, I got more MFF leads that week than ever before. Now having the file system did not generate the leads (that was my increased action with Direct Matches), but the universe provided a better system just in time to handle the increased information from leads.
Rick also pointed out that it's about PERSPECTIVE---You're helping the person you are calling, They NEED you to call.
As for the tickler file, Rick helped us appreciate that having the tickler file system "ready" to use, ATTRACTED the leads I was preparing for. There again the Law of Attraction is ALWAYS working.
4 - Then last week Lynn Rothfuss revealed her inner most thoughts and struggles as she grows as a Professional Network Marketer.
>>Lynn's willingness to be open and emotional is always a balancing-factor for me. My first instinct is NOT to share the inner conversations of doubt with others, then convince myself that I ALONE feel this way. On several occaissions Lynn has tought me that being open not only is therapeutic for myself, but allows others the opportunity to learn and share thru my openess. As this is not first-nature for me I require consistent and periodic reminders to keep me aware and balanced.
Rick shared the "Feel,Felt, Found" Principle
I understand how you feel. . .I felt. . . until I found. . .
On a final note, I would like to mention Pat Crosby, not for a recent presentation--but for her example.
>>I have the tendency to micro-manage things in an effort to ensure accuracy, dependability, and completion to my own expectations. Pat was able to walk-away (okay travel extensively) from the call, confident that Lynn and the other supports such as Rick, Dwight, Ken, and myself would keep the call going. Although the call bears her name & reflects upon her, she did not feel the need to select topics in advance or worry that things could "go-wrong." In allowing others to step-up and take the lead she provided us an opportunity to growth and for those of you who attend the call week after week, You can likely see the growth. Pat's is an example I will consciously make an effort to follow, and thereby allow others the maximum opportunity for growth.
Thank you for your kind attention and participation in the call tonight.
Your Friend in Kentucky, Laura Lucas
& Mentor Rick in Pennsylvania
