Who is Nancy Burke Barr?
“My name is Nancy Burke Barr, also known as “Mentor Mama”. When I am not driving carpool, volunteering at school, or cooking dinner, I am online connecting with as many people as I can in the world of Social Media.
I blog about the lessons I learned from my mama – and a few tricks Mama never taught me. Those “old-fashioned” lessons will continue to enrich and protect our careers as we move deeper into the Information Age.
I graduated from U.C. Berkeley and the University of Miami School of Law. I worked in retail sales and the food service industry, before I became a lawyer. My lengthy legal career has included teaching law students, as well as practicing in the areas of Estate Planning and Fiduciary Administration.
Today, I call on my law skills and my online presence to keep readers abreast of law on the Internet”.

Are YOU The Leader People Are Looking For? Have you considered lately how hungry people are to be uplifted, inspired, and LED? The industry is loaded with people out there looking for the “hitter”, or the “big fish” they can land in their business, that can bring over a down line, or at least a SUPERSTAR that will go to work, build their compensation plan, and sponsor a bunch of people!! Sound familiar? This is a very common desire and one that we hear every day. Fall out, or attrition, gets a little disconcerting sometimes, and every day it feels like you have to keep sponsoring people faster than they can quit. Duplication, and a fast growing, on fire group that TAKES ON A LIFE OF ITS OWN…that’s pure magic. When it happens to you, it’s the most exciting phenomenon, that you want to pinch yourself, because you can’t stop it if you try!!
Guess what. There’s a secret we’re going to let you in on, that the Alpha Leaders know, a million dollar secret. It’s called the “I AM”. When you KNOW who you are, and your BELIEF in YOU is so high that YOU DON’T move.. (it’s called posture) people will naturally be drawn to you and whatever you have! They will want to do business with you because they will sense you are “IT”, and someone they can trust, someone who is constantly giving, loving and caring about others. You MIGHT share your opportunity with them IF they are extremely lucky…but it’s down on the list, because you don’t need to even mention it. Of course you WILL, because you have the Goose that laid the golden egg! Remember, your belief level SHOWS all over your body language, and if you get it right…People just naturally want whatever you have. It’s the “music behind the words”. It would not even matter what you said!! People have to have your product, and opportunity, just to play with you, and be a part of what you are doing.!
Remember that thing called the Law Of Attraction? What does Law Of Attraction say: Like attracts Like OR That which is like unto itself is drawn. So, Would it not make sense that if we are directing all of our attention outward “looking” for that Leader, Superstar etc, it would stand to reason, that we inwardly believe our business, “lacks”, we lack, and do not shine that dynamic inspiring “fired up” energy outwardly!! Make sense? What I mean is this: A wise sponsor told me many years ago: “Stop searching for that leader, and start BEING the one they’re looking for, and your business will be set on fire in no time!” Indeed it was, and I went to the Top 10 and won a Carribean Cruise!
Many people are wandering out in the dark looking for that beacon of light, and they are looking to be uplifted by people who KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THEY ARE GOING. Do you know where you’re going? Are you emanating the LIGHT and FIRE of a TOP 10 Leader or even a #1 Leader? If not I invite you to sit down and look at why not. You can inspire your people, and lead them to the top, even if you only have a handful, because they will feel your passion, and they will want what YOU HAVE. They WILL WANT TO GO WHERE YOU ARE GOING!! So watch this video, and Take my challenge this week to BECOME the LEADER PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR!!
This is a glimpse into just one of the leadership strategies taught by Tyler Norton, former VP Beneficial Life, insurance and financial services. Tyler was a top corporate executive at the age of 29. Tyler along with direction from his father Verdis Norton, CEO of ASEA developed a strategic business management model now called “ Strategic Link”.Verdis served as Sr. Executive VP of Strategic Planning for Kraft Foods Inc, and other Fortune 100 companies over his 30 plus year career. Strategic Link is an exclusive training program available to the associates of ASEA at no charge , but is rather part of the overall event strategy where associates earn the privelege to attend through significant rank advancement (See MLM Events Now, Then & Always) Strategic Link is given in some of the greatest Fortune 500 corporations who have paid thousands for their executives to complete.
Tyler is a natural teacher and facilitator; a master of models with a unique talent to synthesize critical issues and opportunities into a set of strategic initiatives linked to specific execution guidelines. He has taught the StrategicLink process to nonprofits such as the Boy Scouts of America, National Women’s Chamber of Commerce and to numerous small to mid size companies around the country.
Ego and Economics
What are the motivating elements driving a person in a relationship or transaction?People can tell when you are motivated by dollars instead of their best interest. We meet people in business who are ego driven and many times people are repelled by them, and we can sense that “they would sell their mother” to get where they are going”. Ask yourself what their motives are and watch for them.
Principles
“Principles are concentrated truths packaged for application to a wide variety of circumstances”
To be a successful leader, “You have to have a commitment to principles that is greater than your commitment to ego economics” . I came up with a few examples of the ways business lends us many opportunities to be principle based. Some of these core principles might be:
To be honest in all of your dealings.
To treat your customers and distributors the way you wish to be treated at all times
To provide the very best service you can.
To hold the best interest of your customer (and not yourself or the dollar) as the number one objective
To to keep communication open so that people feel like they contact you anytime for help, and always return your business calls promptly.
To make each individual transaction as important as the last, no matter the return. (making people feel important goes a long way)
To honor your business as a thriving enterprise, that deserves accurate record keeping, fiscal responsibility, eye kept on the bottom line, and growth goals clear.

These are just a few.What are some of yours?? We all know principle based people who’s “P” score is far higher than their “E” score. I invite you to comment on this, and tell about someone you might know like this or a situation that illustrates.
Capacity
Source Credibility and Character: “Do I have a Core Belief and Abiding Conviction about what I am about to share with you is More About YOU than it is about me” People know when you are being REAL. When you know who you are and you have a strong core conviction about your principles, values, your product, your company and most especially THE PERSON YOU ARE TALKING TO, you will win every time.

"Laura and Larry offer so much value and I would recommend that more people start listening and learning from their successful journey in MLM's. They know and realize that it not only takes "Old School" methods, but you have to have an internet presence as well. Old school methods work and this couple can teach you how to be successful using both. I refer to it as our "Hybrid" model" Dave Cook
