It's easier than you think.

One of the most valuable lessons lately I got from listening to a podcast interview featuring an aikido master. This time it hit me. And the installation was done. He was giving advice on how to get it done right. His two comments were: "Releax completely. Be focused on your center." That was it. Makes total sense, sensei.

It doesn't just apply to aikido. It applies to everything. Even if you don't know exactly what you are doing. If you are trying out a new technique or charting out a new path, relax! You will notice more, have better access to your resources and... enjoy the process more. The results will follow. It will be easier to achieve more in a shorter time.

This reminds me of something Mike Lewis mentioned in Tenerife last year. That everything you need is within your grasp. Literally. Just ask. People keep their issues for themselves far too much. Instead, you could have 20 ideas on how to solve a problem if you just let people know what you are looking for. Or find the right person just by talking to people you already know.

That applies to network marketing. The Royal Diamonds you want to find are already connected to people around you. They won't know you are looking for them if you don't ask.
