Often times the best way to learn about those around us, our family history and those people that shaped our lives, is by reading their life story. So much can be learned by reading someone’s obituary but that sometimes only scratches the service of how a person lived, what they loved and how much they were loved. An online memorial can help keep a memory alive and help you celebrate the life of a love one. An online memorial website is more creative than an obituary and is a great way to share memories and celebrate the lives of those who are no longer with us.
  • Network Marketing Strategy - Story Telling - Most of us have heard before about the value of telling stories. The reason it's such a powerful network marketing strategy is that it's not perceived as a sales technique. You're just telling a story. And if you'll remember to gather just a handful of stories that bring home certain points about your products or your opportunity, then you can talk to anybody with confidence. Why?

  • Storytelling Persuasion - 'Facts and figures are forgotten. Stories are retold.' -Jeffrey Gitomer If you're mathematically oriented then MAYBE you'll remember the charts and graphs someone shows you in a presentation. And sometimes charts and graphs are really necessary to get to the specifics, but the real power of persuasion in presentation is the story. Not long ago, I used to believe I wasn't very good at telling stories. It wasn't a shyness on my part or esteem issues, but I didn't really understand that my stories were actual stories, that my stories were the real deal, the lifeblood of persuasion. We all have stories. It might not be the most obvious story, but something tangential to your life. . . maybe your grandparent's struggle, or a triumph over adversity or something very simple. If you are a financial adviser maybe your story is about how your family struggled financially when you were young.

  • How to create Abundance - I have been an Entrepreneur almost all of my life. My first memory of being an Entrepreneur was when I was about four years of age. This is not always an identity that I have easily associated with; this really was to my detriment. It was not until I embraced this identity that my life really started to change. Now don't get me wrong, I have had a great time in life to this point, I have experienced things that many people will never have the opportunity too. I will be forever thankful for that.

If you can’t manage to find a campfire, a campsite, or even a wooded area then you might want to try gathering around a candle while sitting on your porch or somewhere at least out-of-doors.
