It's All About Integrity

Regardless of one's endeavor, it's all about integrity. Webster's unabridged dictionary defines integrity as an "unimpaired or unmarred condition." It is also "an uncompromising adherence to a code of moral, artistic or other values: utter sincerity, honesty, and candor: avoidance of deception, expediency, artificiality, or shallowness of any kind." All truly successful people who are seeking to fulfill their purpose in life seek to live in integrity.

An important aspect of integrity is that we must have it toward our creator and ourselves before we can have it toward others. This requires us to periodically meditate (pray) and reflect on who we are, why we're here, and what actions we intend to take. By making a conscious effort to always remain in integrity, our decisions reflect who we are intentionally BEING. After all, "How you spend your days is how you spend your life." I recently heard this statement and it had a profound effect on me. It caused me to pause in my activities and assess my true priorities. Think about where you spend most of your time and money. This exercise will show you what you deem to be most important in your life.

Now, imagine that you have come to the end of your time on earth and are looking back at your life. Are you happy with how you spent the time you were allotted? If you are like me and rank your priorities as God, family, and job, is that reflected in your life? For too many years I woke before daylight, rushed to get ready, and drove to a job where I spent all day giving my best to make a difference. I came home too weary to give any more because it was all gone. I would crawl into bed and do it all again the next day. And I did this for YEARS!!

Meanwhile, my children grew up, my parents grew old, and my body showed signs of wear and tear. Thank heaven I woke up and saw the futility of what I was doing before my time was up!! You see, I had resigned myself to a life of mediocrity, hoping for some semblance of security. I wasn't created to live a secure life and neither was anyone else. We were created to be creative. To take risks. To dream big and achieve goals that are scary. This is the essence of being in integrity - living on purpose every single day.

Today I realized that my life is so much bigger and better than ever. I looked at my calendar and saw that today I was visiting my mother in assisted living, getting a birthday gift for our granddaughter, exercising and writing this blog. Each of these activities is a step toward my achieving some specific goals, be they personal or professional. Everything we do, in fact, is either taking us toward our goals and our purpose or it is taking us farther away from this. And the actions we take are always a choice.

When I look at my calendar for the next week I see a trip to visit Ed's mother and sister in Gainesville, Florida. We then travel farther south to visit our daughter and her family in order to celebrate Alexa's first birthday. These are the very reasons I left the job that was robbing me of so much time and energy. I feel very empowered knowing that I had the courage to make the decisions that caused this to happen. My J-O-B as a nurse kept me from our oldest grandchild's first birthday 4 1/2 years ago. Thanks to my decision to leave that job and be in integrity to myself and my purpose, I am not missing his sister's birthday.

As we made the decision to start our own business in direct sales, we first made sure the company we joined was one of integrity - that their way of operating is honest, open and focused on improving the lives of others, not just the pocketbooks of a few. We then observed the leaders and listened to them as often as we could. It was so refreshing to repeatedly hear that having integrity is a prerequisite for success. In fact, one of our good friends and mentors, John Lavenia, actually published a book entitled Integrity Is Everything.

For anyone now looking for a way to take control of their lives and future, feel free to contact us. contact us. We arevvery serious about what we do. We promise to treat everyone with the utmost honesty, always following the principles of the Golden Rule. After all, in business as in all relationships, it's all about integrity.

Deciding Who To Trust

Whether you're buying a car, seeking medical care, or starting a business from your home, a major challenge is deciding who to trust. We all see lots of ads and websites for home businesses and think, "yeah, sure, I've heard of those things." Sometimes we may be tempted to respond but something holds us back. Is it the idea of network marketing we are afraid of, or is the fear of being taken advantage of by another person keeping us stuck?

Ever since Adam and Eve were placed in the Garden of Eden, humans have been afraid to trust. In their case, they didn't trust God! Satan planted a seed of doubt in their minds about what is really the truth and blind trust was over. I wonder if doubt doesn't hurt us more than trust. Doubt keeps us from believing in ourselves and the possibilities that exist all around us. Having been created in God's image, we have more power and potential than we can ever use. But do we use it?

Our subconscious minds are always giving us "gut feelings" and creative ideas but our conscious "rational" minds hold us back. Can you imagine a world where people are acting on hunches and taking risks? This happens everyday in the world of network marketing. Entrepreneurs are no different than the doubters except they are willing to trust themselves and other people as they blaze new trails. I have been a network marketer for over 3 years now and I have achieved more personal and financial success than I ever could have as a doubter. Best of all, the friends I've made on this journey are happy and full of integrity.

I can't tell anyone who to trust. I just know that being afraid to trust others is a sad way to live. Common sense and intuition have served me well. I trust them first and foremost. After that, I trust poeple who display kindness and honesty, and who demonstrate the Golden Rule. I am so grateful today to be full of confidence and trust rather than fear and distrust. I'm writing the story of my life and it's a happy one.

To your happy story as well,

Success Really Is All In Your Head

I just read a blogpost by Ron Edmondson entitled, "The Economy Is Full Of Good News." One of the key points in this post is the fact that consumer confidence has improved. Consumers, i.e. everyone, respond to what they hear from mass media. Regardless of their personal situation, if consumers react to what they are told about the econmy and are afraid to spend money, then the economy does indeed suffer as a result of their fear. This is because our minds create the reality we believe to be true.

When I apply this to my personal success, I am only successful to the extent that I believe I am. This is not related to my bank account per se. As I have sat here meditating in my home looking out on Lake Murray this morning, I am so aware of all the abundance before me today. I have more opportunity to reach more people than at any time in history. Affordable technology beginning with electricity, which gave birth to computers and then the internet, make it possible for me to connect with and communicate with millions of people worldwide in seconds!! This is phenomenal.

There are more ways to make a substantial income than ever before as well. All that is required is belief and imagination. Just like the effect consumer confidence has on the economy, my own confidence in the abundance of opportunity in my life right now affects my personal success. If I allow myself to focus on some perceived lack of anything, that is what becomes my reality. However, if I see the opportunities available to me right now, today, to create wealth in my own life and to assist others in doing the same, that becomes my reality. Success truly is all in your head.

When God created the world, did he fear there might not be enough carbon for all the life forms in his imagination? Does He tell us to hunker down in fear or to be fruitful and multiply? Being fruitful and multiplying requires faith, confidence, and optimism. What is success other than the reality of being fruitful and multiplying? If success is indeed all in my head as the evidence proves, then I have a divine mandate to become as successful as possible in my life today. So do you. Open your eyes and look for ways to bring increase in your life and in the life of others. Fear will be dispelled just as light dispels darkness.

To your immense Success,
Sandra Hayes

How Much Money Will You Make In the Next 90 Days?

Do you know how much money you will earn in the next 90 days? Is it an amount that gets you excited or is it less than desirable? I am grateful for all the money that comes into my life, however my 90 day projection is $75,000. And I will do this while working 4 -5 hours a day for 5 days a week. I know something that 97% of people don't know. I know how to leverage my time so that by assisting others in achieving their goals, I achieve mine.

Network marketing is a very pure form of free enterprise. It is recession-proof, offering financial and time freedom to anyone, regardless of background or education. The only requirement is desire, drive, and determination. My company offers training and support to anyone who is willing to roll up their sleeves and learn a simple, proven three-step business model.

Our line of products is stellar and part of a $19 billion dollar a year industry. Not only is the recession not hurting our sales, but the current economic downturn has actually improved our business. This is because we offer an alternative to conventional wisdom when it comes to creating wealth. For a very modest start-up cost, anyone can have their own business up and running within hours. There are no products to warehouse or ship. There is no required travel nor is there a boss to answer to other than yourself. It is not multi-level marketing, either, if that matters. It is fun and fulfilling, however.

With a multiple 6 figure income, I have more choices than I ever did as an employee. And choices equal freedom. Only you know the answer to my original question about how much money you will make in the next 90 days. If you don't like the answer, change it. If you'd like my asssistance, call me.

To your prosperity,
Sandra Hayes

Are You Ready To Start Your Own Business?

As I was meditating this morning, I thought about what a luxury it is to be able sit and allow my mind to communicate with God. In my former life (nurse with a corporate boss), I knew exactly how many minutes I could spend in the morning on certain activities like drinking coffee, devotions, eating breakfast, showering, blow drying my hair and getting dressed. To be on time at work, I knew the exact minute I had to be in my car turning the key! Since leaving that world for my amazingly simply business at home, I can spend as much time as I like on my morning activities.

This is such an empowering way to live! I believe we were created to live with this kind of freedom. Our minds are so powerful and creative as long as they are not filled with thoughts of what must be done or what needs to be done right now. Of course, I am aware of time - I have a calendar and a clock. There are events I wouldn't miss for anything, like our daily Wake-Up-to-Success Call at 11 AM with Tony Rush and Kevin Knecht. There is also the Blackbelt Marketing Call with John Lavenia on Monday nights and Shane Krider's leadership call on Fridays at 5 PM. Then there are social events and conferences. All of these things matter to me because I choose to make them a priority. They energize rather than exhaust. We all deserve to live energized rather than exhausted, don't you think?

Do I have a to-do list for today? You bet. Everyday there are certain things I want to achieve. I am in the business of assisting others to tap into their inner potential and discover their passion and purpose in life. Many people are afraid to even think it possible to live a life of freedom and abundance. The power's-that-be in this world don't understand how much better and productive everyone is when operating from a place of free-will and unbridled enthusiasm. God certainly understands that. He put into our hearts and souls these dreams, desires, and the freedom to live life as we choose.

So, what are people waiting for? If you need someone's permission to step away from the pack and achieve the outrageous goals you've thought were impossible, you have mine. I am so grateful I found a whole community of people who are doing just that. They have taken me by the hand and led me into a world I never realized existed. And now that I'm there, I never plan to go back to a restricted, limited life again. Jump in. I'll be here to show you the way as you start your own business as a means to freedom and abundance.

Why The Fear About Starting A Home Business?

Since so many people say they want to work from home, why does there seem to be so much fear concerning the idea of starting a home business? My guess is that there are a number of reasons. For one, human beings have been conditioned to be suspicious of everyone and everything overing hope because of the saying, "If it sounds too good to be true, then it is." It saddens me to think of all the missed opportunities in life because people succumbed to fear rather than faith that success and happiness are indeed possible.


Another reason people are afraid is simply because they would have to do something they've not done before. However, if we all look back on our lives, everything we've done we had to do for the first time at some point, right? Examples are crawling, walking, riding a bicycle, writing a paper, starting a job, etc. But we did it and soon learned it really wasn't as big a deal as we had imagined. It's the same with starting a home business. When you look around and see that thousands of people are happy and successful working a business from home, then there's every reason to believe that you also can be happy and successful doing the same thing.


For me, the scary part was that I had never been self-employed before - except for that brief time in the early '80s when I was a Mary Kay Consultant. Maybe that's another issue for some people - either they or someone they know "tried" a home based business in the past and didn't achieve the success they desired. Thank goodness I faced my fear and decided that the possibility of success outweighed my fear of failure. After all, I was the reason I didn't succeed the first time. Mary Kay is still a thriving business with many successful consultants.


Granted, there have always been fly-by-night companies that offer no real substance to their promises. However, due diligence includes talking to people who have actually succeeded in a company - lots of people - and reveals a company's merits. That is certainly the case with the company we work with - Liberty League International. It's almost 8 years old and growing like crazy. This only happens when people of high integrity are at the helm.

My personal goal is to assist anyone who desires to take their life to a new level. And I am eager to assist them today, not tomorrow. Anyone can find an excuse not to do something. I challenge you to find one reason to do something and do it today. The life change will be dramatic. Otherwise, one stays stuck in fear. Only the brave achieve their true dreams. I'm really glad I overcame my fear of starting a home business!

Doesn't Everyone Want A Simple Home Business That Really Works?

What could be more perfect than making a substantial income doing what you love? Sadly enough, most people in today's world don't think this is possible. Many express an interest in making a great income from home but stop short of making the decisions required to make it happen. Making the decision is actually the hardest part of the process.

Our pastor has been doing a sermon series on 30 Days and No Regrets. The idea is to evaluate what you would do differently if you learned you had 30 days to live. I was a little surprised and saddened to see the number of hands raised when asked who would quit their job. The biggest surprise was that our pastor also raised his hand!!

The world economy in the 21st century has definitely changed. With downsizing and outsourcing, many white collar and middle management people are finding themselves unemployed. Enterprising entrepreneurs are quickly rising to the top of the home business field. Ours is a product based business with a multiple six figure income potential.

This is a perfect time for anyone who is not satisfied with their job. Thousands of people are starting a home-based business everyday. Life is way too short, hopefully longer than 30 days however, to spend it doing an unfulfilling job. If you would have raised your hand in our church service this morning, take a look at your priorities. I did and no longer work the job that ate my time and life with too little in return.

We were all created for joy and abundance in life. I firmly believe it is the work of The Accuser to convince us that life is a struggle and work is hard. Our creator is loving and giving. We dishonor our very lives by spending them in misery and lack. My mission is to encourage every person I meet to live a life of purpose and prosperity.

To your purpose and prosperity.
