A week or so ago, I saw an article about a new book titled The Best of Success by Mac Anderson and Bob Kelly.

There was an excerpt in the article about Golda Meir, Israel’s first woman Prime Minister. It mentioned that she came from very humble beginnings in Russia to become leader of a nation.

I was interested to read that Golda Meir once summed up her "secret of success" in these words: "Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement."

It got me thinking about how important it is for us to keep “fanning those tiny sparks” by constantly working on improving ourselves and developing our skills not only so we will reach our dreams and become successful but also so that we will be of value to others in helping them to succeed.

We as Network Marketers, developing our businesses and ourselves have a lot of choices to make about which path to take to success. Our way is not always easy and sometimes we make poor choices and have to go back to the beginning. All of us have had to change our thinking about some of our projects. These setbacks should not be seen as defeats…we can look on them as valuable lessons learned.

And, if we are taking self improvement seriously and are consistent in working towards our goals, we will develop a strong belief in ourselves that tells us we can get up from those falls, brush ourselves off and start a new project with the confidence that we are right around the corner from the great success awaiting us.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

To Our Great Success!
Sandy Blomstrom

Ron C Stewart   306 day(s) ago
Awesome blog Sandy. Personal development is huge. I've heard some that network marketing is a personal development course with a comp plan attached. I like using our 30 day mental cleanse to flush my mind so I can focus on what I need to work on most. Keep it up.
 
Cheryl Hess   306 day(s) ago
This is a great one, Sandy. Positive thoughts keep us moving forward. It's when we start letting those negative thoughts take over that we get side tracked. I'm sharing this one!

I like the quote about 'fanning the inner sparks'. A nice blog.
 
Jason Yost   314 day(s) ago
One thing I learned early was that if you aren't where you think you should be to make what you want your life and work, then believe in yourself and work to get there. There is no reason to sacrifice your heart for a life of working in misery.
 
Sandy Blomstrom   314 day(s) ago
I have been away from my pc for a few days and was delighted to find all your wonderful comments. Thank you so much. Golda Meir was certainly an inspiration to everyone and will always be remembered for the great woman she was.
 
Bill Bateman    314 day(s) ago
thank You for invoking the memory of one of Israels greatest leaders. Golda Meir was one of God's own - In my opinion. If she were in My business I thing she'd be the fearless advocate for moving forward that we all need in our business. Thanks for your insight.
 
Sylvia Buetow   314 day(s) ago

Ann Moses    315 day(s) ago
Sandy I am in agreement with this post. Especially the last paragraph. It all starts within yourself. You have to believe in you if no one else does no matter how hard or bad it is. Pick up the pieces and start all over with a new attitude. Thank you for sharing. Ann Moses/ Vita Woman
