Who Said The Glass is Half Empty?
I guess it’s about your view, sort of like do you feel that you’ve got enough in your life... or is there never enough?

So, here I am thinking about what it is that people mean when they talk about the “glass being half empty versus half full”. I guess it’s about your view, sort of like do you feel that you’ve got enough in your life…or is there never enough?
So what’s your view? How do you see your life and your business? Do you have enough income in your life? Do you have enough clients? Enough vacation time? Enough clothes? Enough time with your family? Enough wellness and good health? Enough personal “freedom”? Are you running out of “prospects” to introduce your business to?
It’s amazing that probably 90% of the working world is basically unhappy, unfulfilled, underpaid, under appreciated, overworked, disappointed and they don’t see a way out of their “DILEMMA”. I call that the RAT RACE… everyone’s trying to ESCAPE THE RAT RACE.
OK, so let’s get back to YOUR VIEW. Just how do you see yourself, your life, and your business?
Are you the type of person who says “I have nobody to talk to about my

business”, “I need more people to speak to”, “where do I find more prospects”?
You know, it all comes down to how you see things. Recently, a new team member in my business (network marketing), said to me, “David I don’t know what to do, I have nobody left to speak to…I’ve spoken to everyone I know.”
And then I asked the MAGIC QUESTION…tell me when you look out your window at that beautiful high rise building across the street, how many people do you know there? And in your lovely little town or city, how many people live there…and how many do you know?
If the answer is something like “I don’t know anyone in that building”, or “I only know about 16 people in my town (out of 60,000)…then let’s just get realistic here friends. How serious are you about finding prospects? Because if you were very serious, you’d be realizing that there’s an entire building in front of you filled with people you don’t YET know…and that you still have 59,984 people in your town/city for you to get to know!
Now just how serious were you?
You see my friends...
To me, the glass was never half empty…and it was never half full…I see above this glass a PITCHER filled with water and an endless stream of water being poured into the glass…and the glass is OVERFLOWING with water. Yes, it’s all about ABUNDANCE thinking. I truly believe that there’s enough of everything in this world for everyone who wants something. Our world is so rich with abundance of people, abundance of food, abundance of material things, abundance of www.TheNetworkMarketingMagazine.com 2
money, abundance of wellness, abundance of everything that each of us can think or dream of…our universe provides all this for us. All WE have to do is believe that we are deserving of it, want it badly enough, sometimes be willing to sacrifice for it, and make it materialize into our lives.
So, the lesson for today is; what you think about you can materialize into your life, it’s part of the teachings and philosophy of Napoleon Hill from his very wonderful book called “THINK AND GROW RICH”.
Today’s life lesson….simple, easy…a PITCHER OF WATER FILLING YOUR LIFE WITH ABUNDANCE.

develop his international notoriety in the network marketing industry.
David and his wife, Ann have been significantly involved in direct marketing and direct sales for 21 years, serving as a distributor (team member), speaker, trainer, Top Leader, and author in the industry on a worldwide basis. Working together, they coach, mentor and train those seeking empowerment, greater self esteem and branding image, and training people seeking financial success and personal life freedom. David and Ann have grown their business that today spans over 40 countries with over 65,000 team members.
David & Ann's personal passion of "showing people there's a better way" to market their business lays the foundation for the inspiring and motivating topics they speak and teach on.
Innovative, creative, interactive and dynamic, David & Ann speak on topics in marketing and sales that most professionals find difficult or challenging to understand. Applying their unique and visionary approach easily, safely and comfortably draws audiences in from the beginning and keeps them engaged until the end. Their extensive knowledge in marketing and sales makes these topics easy for audiences to understand, as they address and speak from their personal experience and with authority and passion.
Mr. John Fogg of MLM/Network Marketing, author of “The Greatest Networker in the World” has said the following about myself and wife/partner Ann:
“It's been a looonnngg journey from their "weird" first exposure to network marketing where Ann— a Park Avenue Research Consultant, and David— the owner of an entertainment management firm handling the careers of rock stars such as (the early) Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Michael Bolton, Cyndi Lauper, Phil Collins, and other famous others, found themselves at a meeting full of strange "new agers" from Sunrider— that was 21 years ago— to where they are today: Significant six-figure income earners with Agel Enterprises leading an organization of more than 65,000 people in 40+ countries around the world. Above all else, Ann & David are focused on mentoring and leadership. Their combined expertise in recruiting, coaching, training and international development has made Ann & David much sought after direct sales business experts. www.TheNetworkMarketingMagazine.com 4
The Feinstein’s approach marries both classic MLM and the technology advances of the Internet and social media. The first people they have their new people speak with are family and friends, they do meetings, build for and around events and David even unabashedly asks people, "Do you keep your business options open." They meet new people through weblogs, electronic newsletters, Twitter and Facebook leveraging their time and global reach. The business is all about relationships and giving value for Ann & David Feinstein… and consistently building their brand.”
