In my parents' home when I was young, my house always had something sweet around to eat. My mom was a baker, and a very good one at that.

There was always something good coming out of the oven, and we, all nine of us would be waiting, to enjoy all the goodies while still piping hot!

Mom's favorite thing to do was baking. She was always experimenting and coming up with all different kinds of flavors, and she knew we were waiting to scarf them all up.

She made so many great cakes like; chocolate, pineapple, carrot, coconut, fruit, German chocolate, and sour cream pound, were some of our much loved desserts. But I wouldn't want to leave out the cinnamon buns, yeast rolls, pies and so many others.

I was always mesmerized just watching and learning. Every chance I had I would spend in the kitchen watching her cook. She would decide which cake to make. She'd start by putting all of the ingredients on the table, being careful not to leave anything out.

One ingredient left out could mean disaster, and we all knew what happened to those, they ended up in the trash. That did happen quite a few times I have to tell you. But most of the time the ingredients would mix perfectly to create a work of art, and oh what Sweet Success!

By the time I reached 13, I too was baking cakes from scratch. My mom had taught me so well, baking great cakes at such an early age was almost effortless, it was just so simple.

At first, I was afraid to try different flavors. Mom promised me if I used her fail-proof method, only changing a few ingredients, that I could make any flavor cake I wanted to. Mom had been such a great coach that I became extremely successful at baking cakes.

Lessons I learned in the kitchen with my mother have been great tools I have been able to apply to the business world as I have grown.

Exactly as I know its not the way something tastes but how you made it, the identical system holds true with MLMs. It is not about what opportunity you join or what they sell, its all about how you work the opportunity itself that ascertains your success.

Exactly as I trained and observed my mom in the kitchen while she was baking, you'll need to spend countless hours perfecting your business skills too, hopefully with a good success coach.

There may be lots of disappointments along your way. Don't dwell on the mistakes, but use them as stepping stones. We trashed a lot of cakes on the quest for perfection, so trash your mistakes and move forward.

Perfect your skills with a lot of practice. You'll find all the ingredients for success at MSC University. Be sure to use them all, don't leave anything to chance, and you will also find that Sweet Victory in all your business opportunities.
