When I got into this industry back in 1983 – a single mom with seven kids to support – I was carrying a heavy burden and looking for security for my family, and peace of mind for me.

I wanted to develop a check that would pay my mortgage, not just once in a while, but every month, so I could stop running a day care out of my house and just focus on the needs of my own seven children.

So, I began to look for ways to create that. I went to my sponsor, Rosemary, with my concern about my up and down checks. She told me it was a sign of inconsistency, so we began a program that would teach me and my team one of the most basic principles we would need for success in our business.

What I love about it is, it also leads to mastery in anything you do, and that is just a great habit to build and teach. “Repetition is the Mother of all Skill,” she often said to me when I hadn’t mastered a presentation, a story or a teaching principle.

Just do it over and over until it becomes second nature. It’s just the simple basics repeated consistently every day that build a consistent check every month. And you can take that to the bank, consistently!

• Talk to people, every day
• Make presentations, every day
• Follow up, every day
• Train someone, every day
• Communicate inspirational thoughts and ideas to encourage your team, every day

As an added bonus, when you show up and actually do the simple basics every day, you will find that is how momentum is built and that leads to a lot more than the security of a mortgage payment.

Have fun making money and be sure you do that every day too! Make 2012 your year to be a shining example to everyone everywhere. We can make a serious contribution to ourselves and the lives of others when we act consistently every day!

Blessings to all!
