Why would you want a business Online?

The  best question you need to ask about your home business are,
Can it give you the Income you are earning now?
Is the reason for having a business more than job hating your BOSS?
Does the Product/s you are selling earn you a healthy commision?
What else do you have to learn?
What is the support element of the business?
Is the product you are selling, supplying value to you and your community?
Can the product/s you are selling support itself in 10 Years?
How many of the products  do you need to sell to earn a great Income?

All these questions I have answers over the past 5 years and I am still offering the same product I started with five years ago.

  • I have seen many quick sales Online Entrepreneurs come and go
  • I have seen may Online Entrepreneurs drop and run
  • I have seen many amazing Online Entrepreneurs convince people of their wealth
  • I have seen many Entrepreneurs fail.
Why do they fail?
They fall for the dream and what if?
Instead of the value of the business?

The Home Business Entrepreneurs offers a value product.  We all use the product and we have been for five years.  There is a reason we don't sell numerous other online products.
That reason is we are a High Profit Business.

Is Your Network Marketing Business Off to a Great Start in 2014?

I hope your holiday season was wonderful, warm and filled with love and family. If you are like me, the last two weeks have felt good to get back to "normal" life, too. And I bet you have lots of great goals for being successful in mlm and ideas for how this year is going to be different and better. Me too!

I love the beginnings of a new year and for lots of reasons, I am especially looking forward to 2014! I think it is because we have spent the last 18 months building the foundation for my new multi-level marketing business and it is really starting to come together. I am excited to see where we will be one year from now.

One thing I have noticed is that we have great plans and goals in January and we start the year with the best of intentions and typically by mid- February we are off the rails. Sound familiar? How can we make this year the best we have ever had? It has everything to do with our commitments and our obligation to follow through. We show up for so many things but we don't always show up for ourselves!

Get your network marketing business on the path to success

Here are a couple of things I am committing to in 2014.

I have stepped up my commitments to my business and as an entrepreneur. My team and I started a 90 day blitz for the first quarter of the year. That means we are stretching and pushing to do more each day, each week and each month than we did last quarter! We can do anything for 90 days! This works and is necessary to be successful in network marketing. I am so excited about where we will be one year from now.

I have stepped up my commitments to my health. I am going to eat more fruits and vegetables and less sugar. (would someone help me throw out the leftover Christmas chocolates?) I am going to exercise first thing in the morning because all too often it doesn't happen later in the day. And I am going to get myself to sleep by midnight. The last 3 out of 4 nights I have succeeded. (I am a night owl - I love to work in the middle of the night but I know it isn't good for me. Not sleeping when we should be is aging to our bodies... which is the opposite effect of what Jeunesse products are trying to achieve).

Why do we fall off the rails of our New Year Goals?

Most of us have a very hard time with discipline and consistency. We want to be our own boss and to be successful working for ourselves. I think most of us think discipline isn't a nice word. I had to rethink what I thought discipline meant and when I did, it changed everything. Discipline and being consistent is key to success in everything.

Whether it is losing weight, creating a great relationship, building your networking business or investing - being disciplined and focused is what makes it all happen. Every day we have the chance to start anew, to start over, to start again. Give yourself a break on the days where you fall short and keep going. Most of us fall off the rails because we give up. One thing that works for me is to write down my goals for the year and the steps I am going to take to make those goals happen. And then I print that page out and I revisit it each week. That keeps me focused and on track.

When I am feeling out of sorts, I change my physical state. We can change our emotions and our sense of well-being very quickly. It is just a choice. Getting up and moving around, going for a walk, lifting weights for 5 minutes will move you to a more positive and productive mindset very quickly.

Then you will be in a better frame of mind to tackle that phone call or to set up that appointment. Every day do the important activities to move your business forward.

At the end of the day, feel great about what you did get done. Our to do lists are a mile long (at least mine is) and we will never get it all done. I had to train myself to appreciate and feel good about what I got done and not focus on what I didn't get done! It makes a huge difference, especially if you are in the habit of falling asleep at night fretting about what you didn't get done. Guess what you will dream about? It is so much more rewarding to feel good at the end of each day!

2013 Recap

Every year, I "close" the ending of a year. I love to go through the past year and savor what happened before I really dive into the New Year. At the beginning of each year, I also always choose one word or a phrase that will sum up the new year. In 2013 it was appreciate and laughter. This year the phrase for the year is PULL OUT ALL THE STOPS. I am really going for it this year.

I heard this quote the other day: Be grateful for where you are and where you are no longer. I encourage you to be thankful for what you have accomplished. 2013 was a big year for me. Here are some highlights.

Mark and I celebrated our first year of marriage.
I celebrated my one year anniversary with my new company.
I created the foundation in my new business for a great and long term success. I feel honored to get to work with the leaders on our team - blessed to have them in my life.
My team and I created a duplicatable system for our team to run with.
I created a new brand, new websites and revamped social media sites
We celebrated Christmas for the first time with our 3 kids.
I participated in several life changing mastermind events.
I hired marketing mentors to help me achieve my dreams. Everyone needs coaching.
I presented at a convention in front of thousands of people - so much fun and feels like home!
I traveled to Maui, Las Vegas, Napa, Mendocino, Orlando, New York City, Bangkok, Vancouver Island and Vancouver. Plans are already in the works for Palm Springs, Vancouver, Seattle, and Italy.
Make your network marketing business a success in 2014!

I am thrilled with the results of 2013 and believe me, when I say that I believe 2014 will be the best year yet. When we focus on what we want and pull out all the stops, it is amazing what we can accomplish. You can change your life. We all can. We all can create more than we can imagine. There has never been a better time to be in the networking business. And the internet and social media make it 1000 times easier to build a global business than even 5 years ago. What are you waiting for? No one else is going to take care of your retirement or send those kids to college. We are the ones we have been waiting for. Let's go get it done!

I wish you a fabulous 2014!

How do I Know if I need a Blog

How do I know if I need a BLOG?
 What is a Blog anyway?

I know what a website is, but what is a blog? A blog is a new version of a website. It has the ability to transform each and every day and allow visitors to interact with it. Let's go back to websites for just a minute.

Website = a group of one page or more that have static content. They take advanced skills to put together and are complex to update and maintain. Most of the time the content remains the same upon each visit to it. People visit once to read content rarely to return again. Websites are Stagnant Water

BUT

Blog = a modern website. It has the ability to transform each and every day with new content. Blogs are very simple and easy to update. There is usually a header and a side bar that remain constant with the center content changing with updates. Articles written can be linked back to the main thought. This helps bring traffic to your page. People continue to come back to see what is new. Blogs are babbling brooks.

Blogs are dynamic and have fast setup ... websites are static and slow

How do I know if I need a blog?

A blog can be used by anyone delivering a message. I know you are saying to yourself, I don't have a message to share. My answer to you is ~ yes you do, you might not know it yet but stick with me and I will show you how you can benefit from blogging.

Blogs can help Churches and other non-profit organizations get the message out, blogs can help those of us who sell something (make-up, Jewelry, real estate, sell on Etsy or eBay), blogs can help companies who provide services (computer repair, hair stylists, or landscapers). Blogs have even helped my son, Nick, become a better writer. I believe a blog should be used by everyone.

Blogs have multiple areas that help Google find you easier. A subset leads back to the master blog and tells Google you are important. The subsets strengthen the main page.

To answer a few questions I have received and responded to about blogging keep reading.

How do I know a blog will help my church? A church would use a blog like this... Instead of a website (stagnant water) a church would write on a blog. They would have their header on the top (telling which church they are and maybe a phone number etc) the side could have sermon hours etc, and the middle would contain moving content.

They would discuss what was talked about during the previous sermon for those folks who could not be present. They might discuss plans for the future on another blog and link back to the master blog, enforcing and strengthening the blog in the eyes of Google. Fundraisers could quickly and easily be added and shared. People would be inclined to return to see what was new; to feel connected in some way and to feel part of the church as a whole.

Blogs get readers coming back.

How do I know a blog will help me as a Real Estate Professional?

You sell real estate. In the past you sent out post cards telling people in the neighborhood that you just sold a house where they live and that you would gladly list theirs for sale too. These color postcards you mail out are expensive to print and mail. Plus, you have no guarantee they are being delivered to the person capable of agreeing to the sale. They may actually get delivered to a renter or not arrive at all. This is hit or miss advertising.

On the other hand, you could set up a blog telling about you as a real estate professional in the city you reside. This narrows the searches down in Google when someone is looking for house buying or selling. They can look up this "I want to sell my house in Loxahatchee Florida. You have a greater chance of being seen labeling yourself specifically. Each blog you write can direct back to your master blog about you. No matter what blog they read or share, they will always have your contact information. Another example, you may write about the housing market in Loxahatchee or you may write about houses you have for sale that are 3 bedroom and 3,000 sq feet. One more example could be: a blog about open houses you will be conducting in the area.

What about your jewelry or make-up business ~ how can a blog help you? Well, as it stands now you connect with people you know and try to get them involved in having a party. They invite their friends and family to attend. You then set up a time to meet these people, show them what you have to offer (your message) and hope to make a sale. This involves bringing products with you to talk about, share, and show. In return you offer the hostess something: a free gift or credit to use towards products.

Think about this... you set up a blog. This blog helps you connect with people in your area and abroad. You can write about specials you are having via separate blogs that connect back to your master blog. You can show pictures or videos of items and explain each one. Jewelry items shown on your blog can attach to an online order form allowing people not local to purchase. People in the area can contact you via a form to set up a party too.

How do I use a blog for family communication? Another group of people who could benefit from blogging is a family. I love scrap-booking and keep albums with my daughter and son as they grow. The only way for it to be seen is for someone to visit my house. My friends and family not local would have no way to hear or see what is happening with us. A family blog would start with who is in the family, ages of everyone, and any other information necessary to start a family bond. The subset blogs (blogs that connect back to the master blog) could talk about Thanksgiving plays at school, the Mother's Day tea party, kindergarten graduation, and any other family event you want to share with the family. Pictures and video would make a great addition to the written content.

There is a misconception that you have to be a guru to have a blog. A blog can be managed by anyone and is a way to convey a message. Maybe you have a special way to grow orchids or braid hair. If you have an interest in it, someone else does too. Share it. Don't be afraid to express your knowledge and take massive action. Your message could be as simple as telling a community you exist and update them about happenings to the big fundraiser your school or organization. It could also be a way to connect with your family and friends and to update them about what is happening on the home front. If you have a passion for something share it with the world through a blog.
