NOteworthy Thought of the Month 

"To fail is a natural consequence of trying. To succeed takes time and prolonged effort in the face of unfriendly odds. To think it will be any other way, no matter what you do, is to invite yourself to be hurt and to limit your enthusiasm for trying again." - David Viscott

NOtable Quotables from the Go for No! Movie

"I think this is another interesting thing about the whole process of no. If you get to "No" enough and you do it long enough, and you start building some successes, you eventually stop hearing so many No's." - Chris Widener

Richard & Andrea Recommend...

The Flip Flop CEO by Janine Finney, Lory Muirhead & Whitney Roberts.  Specifically for those of you in direct sales or network marketing but here is the twist - it's for the network marketing skeptic in your life!  Readers are guided gently, but sassily, through the powerful truths and outright myths of network marketing, ultimately leaving them with a fresh perspective of this business model and an understanding that gets flipped--right side up.
Inspired by the personal experience of a mother and daughter when network marketing came into their lives (the daughter was ready to pursue the business with gusto while the mother resisted it with all her might. Can you guess who won the year long battle?)
This book was written to help other network marketers, by saying the things you never thought to, or were just plain afraid to. Hand this book to prospective business partners in your life, and the job is done.
