Two Ways .....

If some one were to ask me "How was your weekend?"

I can reply in two ways.

One way:

"All in all it turned out ok. Bill managed to turn an otherwise dreadful and painful weekend into a tolerable one"

Second way:

"The weekend started off for me with fasting for 14hrs, early morning drive into town for my first ordeal. After three punctured veins, the nurse managed to suck enough blood out of me to fill the veils needed for testing my cholesterol level - a ritual I have to go through every four months. From there it was off to the next ritual I have to go through once in two years.

This is where I get to use every swear word in the dictionary, hate myself for being born as a female, get mad at every male who ever said they like the 'big ones' and finally just about ready to kill the person (of course had to be a man!) who invented the machine and strangle the doctors and nurses who use it - 'The Squishogram' machine as Bill calls it.

At the end of ten minutes of this comes the realisation - 'it is all for my good' and the intelligent woman calms down and is glad that it is over and is ok for another two years!

Not done yet! Next comes surrendering yourself to a giant x-ray visioned monster who takes a snap shot of every inch of your body - head to toe and a doctor who sits there and watches the movie - another 10 minutes of once in two year ordeal!

On the brighter side of the day, Bill takes me out for breakfast at our favourite 'All day breakfast' place in town and ends my now 18hour fast with Pancakes made from corn flour smothered in maple syrup, home fries cooked just right and a best cup of coffee in town. This is followed by a walk through the town and window shopping and rest up in the park before the next appointment. A picnic lunch at the beach puts a nice ending for the day's outing.

A nice sunny, not too hot, perfect day and nice green estate is welcoming to come home. We both laze around in the yard enjoying a beer and watching the nice blue sky. A power nap under the magnificent trees make me good as new ready to face the world and grateful for good health, wealth and peace of mind.

Bill completes the day with a nice BBQ dinner accompanied by garlic bread (home made) and salad made from all home grown vegetables, greens and herbs (including the garlic this year!).

Saturday was a dull rainy day and I sat in front of the computer most of the time watching our monthly target crawl one K at a time and feeling totally helpless to do anything to make it move faster.

Sunday, after a chat with Amit, I resigned to the fact that we have done all we can and hope for the best on Monday and decided to enjoy the rest of the day. A 3 hour boat ride - trolling the lake and reeling in a decent sized pike relaxed me totally and got me ready to face another week with all of you and 3 hr sleep per nights."

Two ways to describe same weekend. Which one did you like?

The first way is the "CORPORATE COMMUNICATION" way - crisp, brief and to the point. Efficient and time conscious.

The second way is the "NETWORK MARKETING" way - story telling with word picture painting and an open sharing of feelings and emotions. A successful leader must be capable of communicating with the team in a way that hits the message home. It needs time and patience to build lasting relationships. To influence other human beings, sometimes total strangers, to break out of their comfort zone, to build a dream and make them want to achieve their goals needs effort. Ability to paint word pictures is one of the skills that every leader must possess - their communication gives an insight into their character, their belief and makes the listener/reader come a bit closer to them.

One can learn this from songs - especially Hindi movie songs I have been listening to these days. When Bill asks me what is the song about, I can usually summarise it in one sentence - "I love you", "We will be together for ever", "I have been betrayed", "I have lost my love" and so on. However, if one listens to the words and similes and comparisons to moon, sun, stars, flowers,night and even wind and rain the song writers use to paint the picture for us it becomes so much more enjoyable and memorable.

Chose the right way for the right occasion!

It is time!!

As I promised, it is time to share with you what I have been so busy about.

By now you must have realised how passionate I am about the Network Marketing Industry and after having been in it for almost 25 years, I had to fulfill my dream of either being associated with or build an ideal Network Marketing company who shares the same passion as I do for this wonderful industry.

20 months ago I got the chance of a life time when a friend of mine asked me to partner with him and set up the ideal company for a friend of his whose dream it was to build the biggest Global Distribution channel starting from India and using India as the base of operations.

I am happy to tell you today that I think we have done that and are on our way to build that distribution channel. We have worked very hard and long hours, although we launched the business officially last April, we have kept the whole thing very low key and allowing ourselves time to get all the bugs out and get all the essential things in place before starting our expansion plans.

It's time...

It's time Network Marketing got its act together.
It's time Network Marketers got their act together.

We are taking
• ... about Network Marketing: Not as it was. Not as it is. But as it can be, should be and must become, now.
• ... about authentic, intelligent, sensible Network Marketing.
• ... about the transformation of the business formerly known as MLM.

If you are a thoughtful troublemaker, the maverick who don't fit the mold, leader up for thinking out of the box and doing things differently (and followers who do the same), then we are looking for you!
Imagine ....

• ... A world in which Network Marketing can truly work for everyone
• ... Where the global public sees us as a force, not a farce.
. ... Beyond 'accepted'. Admired!
• ... A world in which most people who join *don't* drop-out within a few short months; *do* stick around and, through hard work and good sense, build decent profitable businesses that enable them to live happier and healthier lives.
• ... Where Network Marketing genuinely delivers on 'enabling ordinary people to have extraordinary income' and the promise of freedom.

Imagine...

The end of ‘get rich quick... throw them up against the wall and see who sticks... absentee uplines and sponsors...’ all of that changed.

The end of overpriced products, hype, hustle and manipulation, careless even dangerous health and income claims, widespread ignorance of (and lack of concern for) good business practice, a 95 percent drop-out... all of that changed.

Then become part of a movement of ‘the unstuck’... people who want to make real change toward 'remarkable' thriving ventures.

Choice is yours! and Time is Now!

No, I am not lazy or forgot about keeping in touch with you. Last five months have been very very busy for me. We are back in Canada and have some time to talk with you.

Good question. How can a retired person be so very very busy? That is what my nieces and nephews say "aunty you seem to be working harder in your retirement than you did while you were working".

I guess this is true and I can see why everyone gets confused. You see my definition of retirement and yours are probably not the same.

Retirement to me means "I don't have to work. I work because I want to work and like to work and I am passionate about what I do." That makes a big difference and besides it keeps me active and yes, young to an extent as I work with a lot of youngsters.

I must say the past five months have been very rewarding as we got a lot of things that has been in the planning into motion, hired and trained few new people and so on.

I forgot I have never told you what it is that I do that I am so passionate about.

Well, I will do that in the next blog. No it won't be months - just few more days....

Feels like ages since we talked!

November seems to have come and gone without my noticing it. I went back to Canada for an R&R visit and now am back in India for few months.

R&R (rest and relaxation) and family get togethers are as important as work, business and earning money etc.. at least for me. That is what I did. Met some old friends, spent time with my family - five sisters and their family got together in one place after almost 30years to celebrate Diwali. One was missing and will have to get her there next year. Have posted the picture below.

We also went for a week long cruise - a business and holiday trip. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Have also booked for the next year cruise already.

Why am I telling you all this boring (to you)life history of mine? I do have a reason.

I believe firmly in "lead by example" or "show and tell". I am talking to you about FREEDOM, time and financial, and how important it is and you can also have it and how etc.

As you know talk is cheap. I do want to show you it can and has been done and so can you...whenever you are ready...Just let me know.

Hope you guys have had time to read the "How to Fire Your Boss" book and getting ready to take some action. I want to hear from you either as posts or via e-mail.

For those posting - I am not looking for "Opportunity" to achieve Freedom. So please do not waste time both your's and mine by trying to offer me business opportunities - especially using auto posting etc.

I like to keep this blog as a place for sharing information, tips and helpful suggestions etc. and let my visitors have the freedom to choose to do what they want with it.

Hope to see you more often in the coming months.

I know it has been a long time since you heard from me. As the article (click the link "Mother Eagle in the News" to the right) says I have been busy.

I thought I should share what they are saying about me with all of you.

Will see you all soon.

You thought I abondoned you??

I appologise. August has been a very busy month for me. Weather was wonderful in Canada and since I was leaving for India end of the month, decided to make it a family month and spend as much time as possible with my husband Bill.

After our wedding anniversary celebration and Bill's Birthday celebration (see photos below), I left Canada and am now in India for the next two months.

You all must be eagerly waiting for your next steps to take to achieve your FREEDOM.

A few years back I put all the different paths available for one to achieve financial independence in a book called "How to Fire Your Boss".

I decided to put the entire book in a PDF format on the "Mother-Eagle" web site. I have placed a link to this site in the right column. Just click on it and go to the e-books page on the site or just click ebooks


Happy reading.

Will see you all in a few days after I get settled in Bangalore - and get dried - too much rain!

CLEAR Explanation of Three FREEDOM

It is very important to clearly understand the relationship between these three types of freedom (Personal, Financial and Time Freedom) and how they are achieved before I show some options for you to choose and follow.

I find using Robert Kiyosaki's Cash Flow quadrants makes this very easy to explain in just four simple diagrams.









As you can see the fourth quadrant is the best place to be. It is easier said than done!

Can you get there? Answer to your question is yes! If you really want to.

But how does one get there? In a number of different ways.

You will find the options in the next few blogs. Keep watching!
