Working Together – Taking The Strain For Each Other

published Thursday, February 2nd, 2012 at 11:28 am by

Many internet marketers out there put themselves under so much pressure to make money instantly that they burn themselves out within weeks of starting. I know. I have been there. So it is important to accept that instant riches are not likely to happen and that every millionaire Guru out there has had to serve their apprenticeship before they started to pull in their “instant riches”.

So, with this in mind, I think it is important to have fun with your business. Find joy in the social networks and build lasting relationships with your online network marketing teams, so that you grow together, enjoy each others company and be there to support one another when times may get a little tough…… and… of course… celebrate together when things are going well.

There are lots of inspiring people out there that you can lean on in times of difficulty….. your online community partners I mean and those leaders who put themselves out there. Never forget family and friends either…..but truly, you need to find places on the internet that uplift you and support you when times are tough……. and then be there when times get tough for them.

I love Goethe, who says that; “Whatever you can do or Dream You Can Begin it, because boldness has genius power and magic in it”

My personal mentor, Raymond Sun, often comes out with this quote, “What man can dream he can achieve.”

But sometimes these words, however accurate, may seem shallow as defeat stares you in the face. Remember though, there are so many stories and true accounts of people who make the breakthrough just as they are at their lowest ebb. Just as Churchill has said: “Never give in, never, never, never give in“, when asked what was the secret of success.

There are many uplifting quotations from great leaders that we can draw encouragement from. Here are a few more, in video form for you to consider.

Thank you http://www.finerminds.com for providing them.

So where do you get your inspiration from? Who reaches out to you? Who do you help when times are tough? Because, remember, no man is an island. We all need help and support. That is what is so wonderful about internet network marketing if you have chosen the right team to work with.

Mutual support = mutual success!

 

Perhaps this video will show you the power of team work and mutual support against all the odds!

I like this video too…. it shows how teams can work together to create beauty and have fun by working closely together.

 

So, how are you coping with the stresses and strains of working from home. Where is your network of support?

I like to think I am there for my team when they need me, but sometimes I need them more than they need me. Is that the case with you?

Let me know in the comments below and share this post with your friends and colleagues so they can tell you what they think and how you can help each other to overcome some challenges so you can work together for mutual success!

Taking The Risk – Is Safety First Stopping You Succeeding?

published Saturday, January 28th, 2012 at 11:44 am by

What is stopping you from making that next step in bringing success in online network marketing into your life? What is the barrier that you are refusing to cross?

You will have heard the story of the man who stopped “Three Feet From Gold” in the book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill, I am sure.

He tells the  man who found a piece of land that had promising gold deposits, After convincing some relatives and friends he managed to get enough money to buy the machinery necessary to mine the gold ore.

But a few weeks later, having initially hit some gold deposits, he lost the vein of gold ore. Desperately, he and his colleagues drilled to try and find the vein of gold deposits again. But to no avail. Eventually, after digging many weeks, he decided to quit.

He sold the machinery to a junk man for a few hundred dollars and went back home. Luckily, the junk man was smart. He got a mining engineer to come and look at the mine. The engineer made some calculations and showed the junk man that the person he bought the machinery from had quit just three feet away from where the gold deposits were. Had he continued digging he would have found the gold. The junk man had truly struck it rich and made millions of dollars in ore from the mine.

This story illustrates very well the Chinese proverb that “One moment of patience may ward off great disaster. One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life.”

So what is stopping you? Maybe nothing. Maybe there is something that is preventing you from taking the next step.

So many people give up before they make their break through. They go on to pastures new, too soon. This is the disease of network marketing. People just see the green grass over yonder and pile into something new like a herd of wildebeest on their quest for new pastures each year, only to find the same results. Most people enjoy a little spike, then it plateau’s and then the impatience kicks in. It becomes harder to get new sign ups and they look for something else and try to take their downline with them. This only causes disenfranchised networkers who begin to see it all as a scam, when it is not the industry that it is at fault, it is those “get rich quick” mentality entrepreneurs who just lack patience and are risk averse to sticking round for the long term.

This is true of companies too. No real resources behind them, guys start businesses from their laptop and then fail to fulfill their promises.

So what is the risk in staying where you are? What is the risk in sticking with a good sponsor and helping others to stick with it too?

Risk aversion also prevents network marketers from investing in their business. It stops them treating it as a real business because they fail to advertise and their prospects dry up because their established relationships do not enable them to duplicate their business. There is a need to invest in any business. Network marketing is no different.

Online marketing is a pretty cheap way of creating a worthwhile business, if you have the right tools and a true, internet based opportunity.

All you need is a blog like this one, a capture page, a facebook page and a few different strategies to market them and you are up and running. I see people succeed all the time. They are not especially talented. They are just using the tools that are at hand, following guidelines from their sponsore and they treat their business as a real business. Not a $40 a month business, but a business that should bring them a 6 figure annual income as a minimum.

Are you going to do that in 2 weeks? Not likely. Can you achieve that in 2 years? Yes, highly possible with the right strategies, patience and a willingness to take a risk by investing in your business.

So this post is just a reminder really. You CAN succeed with an online business if you really make your mind up and are determined to do so. You WON’T succeed if you are risk averse and lack the patience and determination of a really focussed business person.

Don’t blame the programme, you can make money with most programmes out there really. Don’t blame your sponsor, you chose them. Put the blame where it lies. Examine your own approaches and then put them right.

Perhaps this video will help you:

Two Year Old Blog – What Have I Learned?

published Monday, January 16th, 2012 at 10:09 am by

Yes, it is true. This blog is just over two years old. My first post was about an amazing man, Jim Rohn. I shared a video of the great man.

Blogging was a whole new world to me. It was set up for me by my friend, Barbie Figueroa, and she had to teach me how to post and everything!

My first efforts were basic and I soon found myself on a steep learning curve. I was thrilled to receive so many comments on my first posts until I realised that they were spam… so I had to activate Akismet and that offered me some protection.

It is difficult to know exactly when it all started to click. I had a lot of help and there was quite a lot of self learning too. I was very blessed to have willing friends and also some help from courses I purchased.

It cost me $1000′s!!! I still consider myself a bit of a novice to be honest but can now set up a Socrates WordPress themed blog, all monetised and with a pillar post for my Global NPN team members within an hour! I have done that lots and lots of times, even created a fully monetised blog live on a webinar a number of times.

How Has A Blog Helped My Business?

Well, it definitely has. That’s for sure. I am now regarded as one of the top leaders in my primary network marketing business and my business has come pretty organic with people opting in to my lists, joining my business with a lot less effort than was my previous experience.

I also encourage my member partners to join me as bloggers. This also helps my business, because the more they get involved with the social networks and create their own social networking and blogging funnels my business continues to grow also. That is the nature of network marketing.

Imagine: You have 2o bloggers all blogging about YOUR business. They recruit just 5 each. All of a sudden you have huge amounts of FREE traffic coming into your online network marketing business.

This is much, much better than relying on those affiliate links, company sites and static one page websites. It makes your business LIVE……. it creates a great organic social network that is working for YOU as well as those who you have introduced to network marketing.

What are the key lessons to creating a network marketing blog?

I made many mistakes with my blog in the beginning. I really didn’t know the power of WordPress and the ability it has to create a viral impact across the internet. So here are my 4 top tips:

1. Make sure you have a web form and bribe attached to your blog!

A WordPress blog is a powerful tool…. don’t miss out on the opportunity to increase your influence across the internet. Let your blog help you build your list!

2. Link your blog to the social networks – particularly Facebook

There are lots of applications and plug ins that will help you do this. I recommend that you link your blog to the Networked Blogs Facebook application – and place the widget on your sidepanel. This will enable your readers to get your posts direct to their facebook profile. A FREE plug in that has served me well is DIGG DIGG. This puts all the social networking  buttons you need on each page of your blog and enables your readers to share your posts with their own social network followers. Very powerful.

Ensure your blog content is posted all across your social network connections. I recommend, DIGG, Facebook, Twitter as a minimum

3. Content is King! Post good content regularly

I recommend that my team post good content 5 times a week for their first month. This shouts out to the internet that your blog is active and the search engines start to pick it up.

Content in your topic should be reasonably easy to source from your parent network marketing company and you can promote all sorts of affiliate programmes if you wish. The main content on your blog SHOULD NOT be all about promotion of your business or affiliate programmes.

It is important that you provide GOOD INFORMATION and a GOOD READ. This will enable people to get value from what you provide on your blog so that even if they do not choose to join your business, they will still find something of  interest in your posts.

4. Search Engine Optimisation

I am not an SEO expert but the simple way to get your blog recognised is to make sure you have key words relevant to your post, niche and business within each post in your blog,your post subject headings and  your blog title and description. The easiest place to get some decent key words in your posts is from the Google Keyword Tool . Go for long tail keywords or words that don’t have lots and lots of competition. It is better to get a higher percentage of a smaller traffic load than nothing from a very competitive keyword. Fore example: my main network marketing business is Global NPN. If you do a search for Global NPN you may find me on the front page of google – sometimes you won’t. You will find one of my team there always. Then if you search Global NPN Team you will find more of our team prominent on Google. If you key in Top Global NPN Team we will be even more dominant on the front page.

It is all a question of making sure you have the right kind of key word presence throughout your posts – putting a live link in some of your keywords.

Blogging Has Taken Me To The Next Level

I hope the tips help you. But for certain. I would have been a run of the mill, struggling to keep my head about water if it wasn’t for the learning that has been part of my business life since I have been a blogger.

I have made lots of business contacts and mentoring from sources that would not have been available to me if it wasn’t for social networking through my blog. I have had guest posts from top marketers and have enjoyed my time creating blogs for others and watching them progress in their business through their blog.

So… if you are a new marketer reading this, or if you are an experience networker wanting to go to the next level, then get yourself a WordPress blog and become part of our club.

If you need help to do that, then I would be happy to spend some time with you to get you on the right track.

Why Happiness Is The New Productivity

published Thursday, January 12th, 2012 at 6:36 am by

I was introduced to something this week that has really helped my thinking and strategies on expanding my business. Vishen Lakhiani of MindValley.com shared this amazing concept in 2009 but I was only introduced to it from a facebook share this week.

Vishen has a great story – and you should really watch the video below to get the whole picture – but in reality he has taken a part time business from losing $300 in his first month, earning $4.50 a day in his 3rd month to a multi-million dollar company within a very short space of time.

Here are a few of the tips he shares to help you grow your business.

Getting In a State Of Flow

To grow your business and, indeed, to grow as a person it is important to get in a state of flow.

Vishen describes flow in this way:

FLOW is the mental state of operation in which the person is fully immersed in what he or she is doing by a feeling of energised focus, full involvement and success in the process of the activity. It is a state of supreme creativity.

How Do You Get In A State Of Flow?

•You have to be HAPPY where you are right now!
•You have to have a vision of the future!
Let me highlight this in a little more detail
THERE ARE 4 DIFFERENT STATES OF MIND
•Negative Spiral – This is a state of mind where you are miserable most of the time because you have no Vision of where you want to be. This will mean that you will spiral down and down into greater depression as time goes by without a significant change of state or circumstance.
•Reality Trap – This is where you are happy right now but with you have no vision for the future. One of the great things about human kind is that they have a desire and overwhelming urge to make a contribution. In this state you are trapped in your current state. With no vision you are unable to make a contribution. In other words, you can’t grow and you are not going to progress as a person or, indeed your business will not progress.
•Stress and Anxiety –  This is a state where you are not happy right now but you have  BIG visions for the future.
Time for some admissions on my part. I think I have been in this state for much of my life. For the past 30 years I have had a job in leadership and management. Sometimes with over 200 people working for me. I had BIG visions. Indeed , I think I took the areas of responsibility I had to pretty good levels of success. Many of my team rose to high positions in the corporate field and community. But it WAS  a stressful place I put myself. Long hours. Lots of pressure. Stress levels that grew to be very uncomfortable over time, although I always was pushing myself to great challenges.
So I would suggest a lot of us are in this state right now. Perhaps doing something we are not happy or comfortable with but feeling compelled to stick with it for whatever reason.
Then of course we have a State of Flow
•Happy Right Now with a BIG vision for the future
To achieve this you need to LOVE what you are doing right now AND you need an amazing vision for the future.
Vishen relates this to how Bob Proctor described the SECRET – The Law Of Attraction.
•THE SECRET – Thought+Emotion = Attraction
•FLOW – Vision + Happiness = State of Supreme Creativity
How different would your life be if you were in a State of Supreme Creativity?
THE PARADOX OF INTENTION
•You must have goals. But your happiness cannot be tied to these goals. You must be happy BEFORE you attain them.
•You will accelerate toward your dreams if you are HAPPY in the NOW!
Don’t you think, looking at these last couple of sentences that it is pretty obvious that goals being set in at least two of the  three first states described, Negative Spiral,,stress and anxiety have little chance of succeeding if our happiness levels are not at a decent level?
If you are miserable and stressed then you are hardly going to be in a state positive enough to make the most of achieving the vision you have set! You are just going to be too down to even bother or two stressed and anxious to put in the right amount of focus.
So it is important, as Tony Robbins always says, to CHANGE YOUR STATE!
Recognise that Happiness comes from the journey – not the destination
I love the way that Vishen describes this process as BLISSIPLINE!  The Discipline of keeping yourself happy.

Because it is when you love what you are doing and have big dreams then you WILL be successful

My challeng to you is to watch the video below – all the way through and take notes and then apply them into your personal life and watch it all work positively for you but I list the two greatest points that I took from the video.

Number One blissipline strategy

GRATITUDE. When you express gratitude your happiness goes up. I have practiced this before and it works. Come on, we all have lots of things to be grateful and thankful for. It could even start with being grateful for being able to open your eyes in the morning! Practice GRATITUDE.

A few moments in every day expressing your gratitude for those things around you, your family, nature, your skills and talents, people you know, people who have inspired you, your religious beliefs. It WILL make a huge difference.

Vishen provides this amazing website that you can benefit from lots and lots of great people expressing Gratitude: http://www.gratitudelog.com/  It’s FREE!! Why not get involved!

Number two Blissipline Strategy

EXPERIENCES AND CONNECTIONS

Did you know that: THE 5 CLOSEST PEOPLE YOU HANG OUT WITH WILL AVERAGE OUT WHO YOU BECOME?

That can be a bit scary. If you don’t have the right connections for a positive life then you are going to struggle. So it is important to pick  out people you admire, aspire to be like, want their results and connect!

Now, for online network marketers, internet marketers that is pretty easy. With the social networks, blogs and our business connections we can find people who provide us all the inspiration we need.

Getting involved with leaders from their FACEBOOK pages, blogs is pretty easy to do. Building a mastermind group is just one of the strategies in Think and Grow Rich. Well, now it is part of your Blissipline strategy too!

But, HEY! Don’t take my word for it….. watch the video below…. and then let me know what you think – perhaps share some comments on this blog about how this video has helped you, whether you think it will help your business. Perhaps you can share some of your own experiences of applying some of the amazing AWESOMENESS that Vishen has used in his company in your own life and business.

Would you like to learn more… then go to this blog that Vishen and his team have put together and get involved! http://www.finerminds.com

Thanks to Vishen for his wisdom and the content of this post!

You will get some insight into how this strategy can work for you!

In the words of one of my favourite rock bands ever, Osibisa:

We through the Spirits of Our Ancestors bring you love. Our treasured gift of happiness. See beyond the dark clouds. Forget your problems and BE HAPPY! Be Happy!
