Nothing, especially life, is ever easy. The world is a brutal place, a place where people are looking to kill you, if not physically, than emotionally. For most of us, it is usually emotional. People want to get you down, especially if you are on top. Some people are just nasty, and will try to kill you just for fun, so you need to know how to defend yourself.

You have to make sure that the people you deal with know, that you know what is happening. Otherwise they are really going to take advantage of you. Make them respect your knowledge. The most important lesson in getting respect is, know your stuff.

You must let everyone you meet know that you know your stuff. If you're a business person, look like a business person. Dress the part, act the part. Do not cause any doubt in anyone's mind that you don't know your stuff.

Expect the best and people will very often deliver. Give people the opportunity to excel, without opportunity, how can they shine? Do not underestimate people. Give them a chance, be the one that showed them the way to success.

Always, ALWAYS remember, you are not living in an ideal world. People are not perfect and some of them, are outright vicious and hell-bent on destroying anyone more successful than them. Be demanding of people and they will rise to the occasion. Always be willing to give someone who wants to do better, a second chance.

This applies directly to selecting down line members for your MLM business. If you choose to allow slackers in your down line, just for the sake of a sale, you might lose that dedicated member to another system.
