If You're Broke and You Know It, Clap your Hands

If You’re Broke and You Know it, Clap your Hands

Written by Todd Falcone


It would probably be better to be happy and you know it if you plan on clapping your hands. But, if you ARE broke and you know it, clap your hands. Then, read the rest of this article.

Being broke is a temporary state. I’ve been broke. I had times when I had no money. But, you know what? I hated being broke, so I decided to get damn serious about my network marketing business.
Seven Easy Steps for “Going for Broke” to Create Success:

1. Pick a company and stick to it. Going from company to company isn’t going to be the solution to your financial woes. If people are making money in your deal and you’re not, the company ain’t the problem. You are. Start working on your skills to create better results.
2. Make the commitment. Success doesn’t happen for people who dabble. Dive in deep. Get moving. Don’t give yourself a way out…and don’t ever give network marketing a “try” or a “shot’. Make the decision today to DO IT.
3. Be a Student. Study the success of others. Find someone who has what you want, and do exactly as they do. Don’t reinvent the wheel thinking that you’re the greatest gift to selling since Ron Popeil. Be coachable and learn from others who have already done it. Humility will lead you to success.
4. Hang out with the winners and dump the losers. Your net worth is going to be an average of the 5 people you hang around with the most. If you don’t like you net worth, start investing your time with people who are more successful than you are.
5. Work your butt off. Seriously…if getting rich was easy, everyone on planet earth would be doing it. I love the old phrase, “The harder you work, the luckier you get.” Hard work definitely pays big dividends. Obviously, working smart AND hard will pay even bigger dividends.
6. Learn to communicate masterfully. The best entrepreneurs I know are the best communicators. Work on your communication skills every day. Read books, study good communicators, take a class…do something. If you stink at communicating your message, your check will stink. The better you get, the easier this business becomes.
7. Don’t ever quit. My goodness! Even if you are a total nimrod, you’ll make money at this if you simply keep prospecting and never stop. But…who wants the title of nimrod? Not me. I don’t think you do either. The only ways to fail in this business is quit or not work at all. As Donald Trump says, “Just keep on chugging!”
It’s not that tough. Remember, broke is temporary. The moment you decide to not be broke anymore is the moment you begin to create wealth in your life.
Trust me…having a bank account balance is a good thing. You deserve it.
