Part 3: How to design your websites

Do you get someone to design it or do you design it yourself? The best way to gauge is to ask yourself what kind of website you are building. If you are just setting up a plain vanilla mini-site (just a sales letter) then it doesn’t hurt to learn how to build it yourself.

For designing and developing your site, you can use software packages like Dreamweaver or Frontpage. Most software packages are WYSIWG (What you see is what you get) so you can always correct your design flaws pretty easily.

I build my websites using Dreamweaver. For designing logos, I use Photoshop. I play around with both these software and borrow books from the library to help me get started.

Ask questions:

Any time you find yourself worrying about something you haven’t done, or something you think you should have done, ask yourself positive questions.

Instead of thinking “I’m terrible for missing my friend’s birthday” think “What can I do to make my friend feel special?”

Or, instead of “Why can’t I ever seem to do things on time?” change it to “What can I change to better manage my time”

Creating positive questions will release the negative energies which have a tendency to pull down your self confidence.

Learn:

Accept that not everything works out the way we plan it. Decide to accept any mistakes and rejections as part of a learning curve that we all need to go through. Without mistakes, you can’t learn from your own experiences. Remember, experience builds confidence, so always learn as much as you can.

Write a list of every single thing you're good at, anything from clipping the dog’s toenails to putting up a shelf.

Take the time to sit and actually think about what you ARE good at and add them all to the list. You'll be surprised at how many things you end up jotting down, no matter how minor or trivial they may seem at the time.

Whenever you have a spare 5 minutes, or if you're feeling a little low, take the list out of your pocket and read it. This is a great little way to give yourself a nice confidence boost.

Help out:

There are lots of ways to help others, and feeling useful and helpful are great ways of building your confidence. Just make sure you do things because you WANT to do them.

You could call a good friend who may be down at the moment-even take them out for coffee, you will brighten both your days, or you could possibly help out at an old folks home or similar.

Knowing that people appreciate your help will boost your confidence for sure.

Show the way:

Think of the one thing you do best of all. Think long and hard about this one. Thought of something?

Now, find a discussion group or similar related to that topic and spread your wisdom by answering questions, offering advice or help to anybody needing it. If you can’t find a group, you could even start one yourself.

People will look up to you and that will give you all the more reason to feel confident about yourself.

Opportunity Wears A Fake Nose & Mustache

I read a great book back about 1980. Don't remember the title, but it was about luck. Why are people lucky? How does luck happen? Can a cause be pinpointed? What makes lucky people different from unlucky people?

Rabbit’s Foot, Anyone?

The author talked to a lot of people, those who considered themselves lucky and those who didn't. He'd find out what had happened in their lives, and he chronicled their incidents of luck.

And then he looked at differences & similarities of the people he'd interviewed, and he came to a conclusion.

His conclusion was a revelation to me. Luck is NOT random.

It's the result of what he called the spider web effect.

People who build webs tend to be lucky. People who don't build webs tend not to be lucky.

In other words ... the more contacts you make in life ... the more relationships you build ... the fewer bridges you burn ... the greater the universe of people who have strong positive feeling for you ... the more people you reach out to help ... the more likely you are to be lucky.

This was fascinating. The biggest conclusion for me was YOU are in control of your own luck!

How To Catch Flies

Isn't that amazing? To be lucky, just put out thin lines and thick lines ... to people here, there and everywhere.

Doesn't this make perfect sense? The more contacts you have, the more likely you'll be in the right place at the right time. In other words, when one of your contacts runs into a huge opportunity that would be perfect for you, chances are good they'll call YOU.

But if you never make that contact, you'll never hear about the opportunity.

And if you don't make spider webbing a systematic lifetime habit, chances are you'll be one of those people who suffers a lifetime of bad luck.

So build your web continuously, and you greatly increase your chance of being in the path when good things happen.

There's an old saying, "The harder I work, the luckier I get." It's true. Especially if you work at building relationships.

Linda & I have been involved in MLM since 1978, full-time since 1991. We've made lifelong friends, and we've built a good income.

Along the way, we've seen enormous change in the MLM industry.

Give Your Prospects a Puppy

But people haven't changed even the least little bit.

They still want love. They want passion in their personal lives and their professional lives. They want self-satisfaction & health, security & achievement, freedom & trust, fun & financial independence.
