To Your Success,

Are you productive in your daily online activity?  Most of us would probably answer yes to that question without hesitating.  However, if you really look at how you are spending your day, how much are you really getting done?  Do you have days where it seems like you were busy but you didn’t get anything accomplished?  You may be busy, but not productive.  Those are two entirely different things!

I recently watched a webinar given by Gavin Mountford called “Doubling Your Online Productivity and it definitely opened my eyes.  You see, I thought I was extremely productive until I tuned into Gavin and listened to what he had to say on the subject.  In this video, I share a few of the tips from Gavin that have already made a big difference on how I plan my day.  He also taped the webinar and you can view it here.  Also be sure to check out Gavin at http://gavinmountford.com/ for more great marketing ideas and information.

Ok you may be wondering what is so scary about prospecting for your home business.  There may be many things you have to worry about concerning the success of your home business, but one thing sticks out more than others for a lot of us.  It is the thought of prospecting, cold calling and just picking up the phone period that leaves many of us network marketers “shaking in our boots”.

What is it about this necessary evil that is so intimidating?  I mean what is the worst that can happen to you?  I know it is all a mind over matter thing, but it still bothers me from time to time as well, even though I have been doing it for over 15 years. Even though I may not enjoy prospecting, I have learned to deal with it because I know  without it, my business may be doomed.

If you have the same feeling I do about this process, please take a look at some of my ideas for coping with it in this video.  I hope you find a few of these tips helpful.

To Your Success,

What do you do when life throws you a curve ball?  Do you give up and get down on yourself or do you find a way to bounce back?    If you are an online marketer, you realize the effort it takes to keep up with all of the things you have to get done in order to be successful.  You have blog posts, social networking and syndication, among other things, that need to be accomplished each week.  If you are not careful, it is easy to get off track and neglect some of those things.  You have to make sure you don’t allow yourself to get to “the point of no return”.  This is a lesson I learned the last few weeks and I wanted to share it with you in this video.

If you are looking for a get rich quick opportunity, network marketing may not be for you.  I know, we have all seen the claims from the over hyped gurus and online advertising that make this claim, but in reality it may not work out that way.

What is the saying “if it sounds too good to be true, it just might be”?  Those words are good advice to follow when sorting through the promises made by so many Internet scammers waiting to prey on the unexpecting.

So, what can we do to succeed in the “real” network marketing world?  I have made a video with a few suggestions that just might help.

Ok – sorry for the “visual”, but this really is an important question when you realize what I am talking about.  When you are in an appointment with a prospective customer, do you take time to listen to THEM or are you busy overwhelming them with YOU and your “can’t miss” opportunity and product?  You can literally wreck an appointment in a very short time by approaching it the wrong way.

In this video, I share a short, easy process to get you started in the right direction whether you are in person or on the phone.

Network Marketing is so much fun, but also a lot of work too – if you do it right!  I recently made a list of all the things that need to be accomplished every week in order to find success as a network marketer.  Wow!  No wonder my head feels like it is going to explode by the time Friday rolls around!   Then I think – Friday heck – don’t we work all weekend too?

It is easy to get overwhelmed and become disorganized if you don’t have a system in place to sort it all out.  Take a look at this video and see if this sounds familiar.

To Your Success,

In the times we live in, how do you stand out above your competition?  What makes someone want to do business with you?  It’s not enough to count on the initial sale, these days you need to find ways to bring back those repeat buyers and earn more referrals.

One sure fire way to achieve this is through Appreciation Marketing.  Show your customers and clients you appreciate them and thank them for their business throughout the year.  Reach out and “touch” them every few months to build real lasting relationships.  Find ways to make them smile, while at the same time putting your face and name in front of them over and over.

In this video, I share one of my strategies of Appreciation Marketing that is sure to make your customers feel like a million bucks!

To Your Success,

How many friends do you have on FB? How many groups, pages, events, and causes do you “LIKE”? Do you know every one of these people personally, or do you on occasion, accept someone blindly just because they asked? Everyday I get requests from people, and even animals that I don’t know. Usually I go ahead and accept them after I have looked at their information and try to make sure they are “above board”.

Well, let me tell you, it can come back to bite you quickly with all the junk that starts coming your way day, after day, after day. You now have to take your precious time weeding through all of the spammers with their “can’t miss’ opportunities, events and products you just have to get your hands on.

At first, I tried to be “politically correct” and send these spammers a note and ask them to kindly take me off their lists. But guess what – no one answered! I know you are probably surprised! Haha So, I decided to take this problem into my own hands and investigate Facebook to find another solution.

Great news! I found out how get rid of these people and groups and want to share it with you in this video.

Wishing You Success,

That would be – absolutely nothing!  Do you know what can wreak havoc on everything in your life including your home business?  You guessed it!  Negativity!

We have enough challenges to face everyday in this business just to keep our heads above water that the last thing we need is people bringing us down with their crappy attitudes.  AND – what is even worse is that we have to deal with this in places where we are all supposed to be supporting and helping each other succeed!  It comes at us from every direction – negative comments, product-bashing posts and even character assassinations!

Wow!  I’ve had enough!!  Have you??  I am simply going to choose to ignore this negativity and the “Debbie Downers” of the world and proceed on my own path to positive thinking.

Here are a few thoughts I had on this subject….
