I was listening to Robert Ohotto‘s latest Soul Connexions podcast about creating a vision board. He spoke about how people use vision boards to create a love relationship. They put pictures of men or women they’re attracted to on the vision board and wait for the universe to deliver them to the doorstep. Some put affirmations on the vision board and feel this all that’s needed to attract a partner. Unfortunately, there’s more to it than affirming and wishing. If you’re not in a place to ‘accept’ an intimate relationship, you won’t attract one.

Robert suggests writing down what you want in a lover such as eye and hair color, build, morals and values, career path, spiritual or not, same religious background, millionaire, etc. Write everything down you’re looking for in a partner. Review what you wrote and ask the following questions:

• Is this what I want in a partner?
• Is this what I was taught to want in a partner?
• Is this what my parents or religion dictate?
• What does my heart want?
• What am I really looking for?
• How can I have a soul connection with myself?
• How can I have a soul connection with another person if I don’t love me?
• How much of what I want in an intimate relationship has been influenced by others?

You may be surprised that you don’t want what you thought you want. You may find that you’ve been influenced to want a certain type partner. This may catch you off guard. Now, you need figure out what you really do want. Look at your parent’s relationship? How would you rate it? What did you learn from it? What about your grandparent’s relationships? What about celebrity relationships? Get down and dirty and really think about what you want in a life partner.

“You cannot give someone else an intimacy that you first do not have yourself, nor can they offer you an intimacy they don’t have with themselves.” Robert Ohotto

You may not really want to date and are being swayed by parents or society that tells you that you must date, get married, and have kids. If you’re still wounded from your childhood, you may not attract a ‘healthy’ soul connection. In fact, you may not want to date you! Peeling back the layers will help you get to the ‘core’ of you who are so you’ll be able to attract the ‘right’ partner for you.

Would you date you? Think about it. Would you want to be in an intimate relationship with you? Do you enjoy your own company? Do you like to be around you? The answer may surprise you. Don’t fret about it. You can shift your mind, body, and soul by getting real. Begin to peel back the layers of who you are and heal the parts of you that require healing. Forgive yourself and others and you’ll be set free. That loving relationship you desire will now be able to come into your life.

“Network marketing is a great source for passive income,” says financial gurus. I wouldn’t dispute that, it’s the people who are involved in network marketing companies that are the problem; they are not first class MLMs. Most have leadership and communication skills that are less than stellar. This is one reason why I have shied away from network marketing opportunities. The other reason is I haven’t found a network marketing company or product that I believe in enough to sell. If I’m not passionate about it, I won’t sell it. I’m an honest person; you’ll be able to read my facial expressions if I tried to sell you a company and its products that I don’t believe in that much.

First class MLMs seem to be in short supply. Network or multi-level marketing companies allow anyone to sell their products, services, and company. The fastest way to damage your reputation is through word-of-mouth because it’s still a viable means of marketing. By allowing anyone, anywhere to sell your products and company, you run the risk of leaving a bad taste in the mouth of potential customers and distributors.

Recently, I received an email which I interpreted as a “ha-ha” email. The writer of the email wrote, “…I guess you’re nixing the idea of joining the company.” She went on to write, “…it’s all right that you are nixing the opportunity because I have a lot of distributors who are keeping me busy (Whew!) and who are on their way to making $20,000 in January 2010.” I had to chuckle when I read the email. I wish the team the best in 2010. I wonder if I could get a print out of the new distributors. I’d like to see how many of them make $20,000 by January 31, 2010. I thought the email was uncouth. Whenever I write an email, I stop and think how the “receiver” of information will perceive it. I understand writing techniques such as style and tone. Of course, I cannot be responsible for how a person responds, but I can make damn well sure the email is well written before I send it.

First class MLMs are few and far between. The only network marketing opportunity I’d consider would be something from T. Harv Eker’s Millionaire Mind Intensive from Peak Potentials. It’s something that I believe in and it helped me to make a shift in my life. I believe I can reach my goals and see all my dreams, especially my financial dreams to fruition.

The next time you’re approached about a network marketing opportunity, question whether or not it’s a first class MLM. What kind of leadership is there at the company and team level? How do people carry themselves? What’s the communication style? Asking questions will save you time and money in the long run. Good Luck!
