Feature Of The Week

Active Members John Sanchez and Kathy Martin have come up with an idea to feature each week one special person from the community to be the Person of the Week (POTW).  Bogdan and I have decided that this is a terrific idea and will be supporting it fully.  Each person of the week will receive:

1. Premium Exposure - POTW's photo and bio near the top of the next community newsletter.
2. Recognition - Your photo linked to your profile will be archived in the POTW Archives on the community.
3. Free Advertising - 2 Months of Free Gold Membership.  (A $49.90 Value!)

Adlandpro Community's Persons of the Week
	Beverly Armstrong Person of the Week - July, Week 4 I entered the business a little over 20 years ago and found it to really be a tough business. I had worked as a Nutritional consultant and found it emotionally rewarding, but not necessarily monetarily rewarding.  Networking was an unrewarding adventure my first year, but I was determined to succeed!  As I began to identify the various reasons it was so tough, I began to work at solving them. I love people. I love this business. I love writing, and I write for several groups and companies. I also consult on pay plans etc. I realized early on the need to provide ... I am called the 'Mother Hen' by many, and I guess I am. I love working with the Adland groups there is so much talent here, and such a vast potential financial future ahead of this community and others like it, that it excites me no end.  I believe that as a community the potential exists to eventually have enough 'muscle' to make or break an opportunity based on its real potential not its existing hype. THAT IS POWER!  Power that we need in order to change and the industry's image for the better!  It would also be the saving grace of this industry through the elimination of the scams that pervade the industry to everyone's detriment! If I could leave you with a thought I guess it would be this: Like Mark Twain, "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education." I advise you to do the same, educate yourself [ Find Out More About Beverly Armstrong ] [ See the Nomination Forum ]

Attitude - A Marketer's Most Important Trait. 
By Lynn Harris


Attitude is a key part of each of us. A central part of our make-up, who we are as individuals. It is also a major factor whether you succeed at what you do or fail. Your attitude about life can give you many different outcomes to a situation, the choice is up to you.

For an example, let's say you just woke up on your day off with plans of doing something outside, to find an unexpected downpour of rain. You can look at the situation in different ways, each will have a different outcome. The choice is up to you.

Scenario one - You are instantly disappointed, fly off cursing thinking "my plans are ruined!" You slump into a state of depression and anger that your entire day is shot. And now everything you do and everywhere you go is affected by this course of action. Your cat rubs on your leg and you kick it off breaking the new lamp you just bought. Your dog comes up licking your hand, you slap at it and he runs under the table, knocking over the table and dumping your breakfast in the floor.

Scenario two - You wake up glad to be alive and above ground.
You notice that the wind is blowing and it is raining like cats and dogs. You realize that the days plans are completely wiped out. You shrug your shoulders as you prepare to fix breakfast. Thinking, "It will be a good day to spend inside and catch up on things in here, spend time with my loving pets." You get things done inside you had put off for months and enjoyed it.

My examples my be a little extreme, but you get the point.
It is human nature to "react", the emotional side of us.
We can change our outcomes a lot of times if we only start thinking, instead of reacting. Think, "Is this the best reaction to this situation?" If not, try and figure out how you are going to approach it another way.

Be willing to do what it takes. If you fail at something, try another approach. Don't give up when you are faced with a downturn. Work on ways to turn it up. Be willing to help your referrals. Make yourself available as a mentor and friend.

When we take the proper attitude, success itself may even have a different definition. It may be more about being satisfied with our efforts and the way we treat others than the amount on the checks we get.

Just what is success for you?
