To build a better future for our family we have to take the bull by the horns. It's not too late for you and yours. Shake off the fear. Go to work. Show the world, your neighbors, your family that we are not going to participate in this recession.--Mike Jackson

The following tips are excerpted from Mike Jackson's comments during the Jan. 12 Manager's Call.

Spring and summer always follow winter. Expansion always follows recession. The harder the winter, the bigger the rebound. Springtime is just ahead. You and I can bring in our personal spring faster with personal leadership. So what do we do?

Set some exciting goals for your life with dates and time frames--some dreams for you, your family, and your business. Set some income goals for the week, the month, the quarter, the year. Set some organizational, promotional, and sponsoring goals. How much do you want to earn?

Put some balance in your business plan with recruiting and retailing. Be a personal example for your group right now. Start this week. Retailing creates instant income, and recruiting creates residual income. We've got to have balance.

Take a major and a minor for your EcoQuest business. Be a specialist rather than a generalist. Become a professional. Whether you major in Fresh Air, PowerwoRx or Heartland/Infinity2, remember to have strong follow-through with a minor.

Don't take shortcuts to success. Use your tools like the Living Proof, Petri dish, Certified Space brochures, Hawaii certificates, and so on.

Never let a day go by that you are not moving forward in the business. Get all of your Fresh Air units in the work mode by putting them in front of prospects.
