NTE and Crew Suited upMigrants find success in the United States, the pursuit of the American dream is as old as America itself. The goal of seeking a better life is limited only by ones determination, imagination and ability. This pursuit continues to fuel the dream of migrants who leave their home, comfort, friends and family. For many who have migrated from their home in pursuit of the American dream it has led them to unheard of success.

Many of the people shown here are business people in their own rights which exemplifies their undying entrepreneurial spirit that hard work, honesty and integrity still goes a long way in 2015. As Advanage prepares to celebrate its 31st year in the door-to-door industry, these independent distributors can highlight their migratory experience from state-to-state across our nation in pursuit of the American dream. The celebration is to amplify and promote the new marketing additive of signing customers up to be distributors of our Wonder Cleaner thus, assuring their continual success.

These are members of Mr. Nathan T. Edwards’ sales crew that migrated from the inner cities of America to different parts of the United States in search of reaching the American dream far into this century.

Goal Setting

Before you take the time to set your personal goals, you should first figure out what you want. I mean really want. Something you want so much that it gnaws at you. Something that keeps you awake at night because it is something that will make a difference in your life.

Let’s say you are tired of hitching a ride with your friends and/or taking the bus. It’s time to get your

own car. However, you’re going to need at least a $1,000 for a down payment and another $500 for insurance. And that’s not going to be easy, because you’ve never been a good saver and right now your savings account is almost empty. So you’d better really want to do this because there is going to be pain and failure along the way, so your desire must be strong enough to overcome all obstacles.

Here then are some steps to effective goal setting:

  1. If it’s not in writing, it’s not a goal, it’s a wish.
  2. If it’s not specific it’s not a goal.
  3. It has to be believable. If you don’t really think you can do it, you won’t pay the price to do it.
  4. It should be a challenge; it should push you beyond where you are.
  5. Don’t set short term goals for more than 30 or 60 days. Otherwise you’ll lose interest.
  6. Set activity goals not production goals. If your goals are production (end results), you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. In this example, you need to accumulate $1,500. The goal should not be to save so much money every week. Instead your goals should be to execute the activities that will enable you to put a certain amount every week. That means you need to bring in more money and/or spend less. So one goal might be to work 8 hours of overtime each week. Another could be to eat breakfast at home instead of spending $7 or $8 every morning at Starbucks. These are the kind of goals that you control and can be accomplished without relying on others or luck.
  7. Start today. Think about what you really want and write down some short-term goals that will get you going in the right direction.

You’ll soon realize that goal setting leads to goal realization which leads to new and more ambitious goals which leads to more and more success.

Family, Race, and Mankind

We are all looking for people we can depend on.  Family certainly meets that criterion so family is one group of people to hang on to.

We are also looking for people we can feel comfortable with.  Race falls into that category so race is another group of people to hang on to.

However, if you really want to hang on to something that will never disappoint you…

Hang on to mankind

You will discover that mankind is far more important than the other two.

Training unemployed

In 1999, the state of Illinois launched a program called EDGE – short for Economic Development for Growing Economy.  The idea was to give companies tax incentives to hire additional employees.

Over those many years some 783 EDGE agreements were made with employers.  Analysis now shows that 2 out of every 3 participants (employers) failed to keep or add employees as agreed.

Since 2001 some $450 Million in tax credits have been claimed by EDGE participants.  The state is now seeking reimbursement from those who failed to hire the number of new employees their agreements called for.

Incentives to hire people the employer really don’t need or want to employ them is doomed to fail. The only lasting solution is to training unemployed people to perform jobs that employers need and want to fill.  

Thus successful workforce development programs focus on training and motivation.   www.advanagefoundation.org is one such organization.
