Are You Tired of Wondering Who Will Buy Your Stuff?

I know most of you are great at teaching your craft, creating your content, and putting together your offers. But you still struggle with getting people to see what you have.

Let's face it. You need more traffic!

Do you want a quicker way to connect with more of your target market? The answer just might be a virtual workshop.

I love workshops! Why? Because they make it easy to fill my courses and programs. They are quick to prepare. You can have one ready for pimetime in 2 weeks or less! They don't require a lot of time. A 90 minute workshop is all it takes. They are FUN to host. (At least when I host them!). They build trust and authority with your ideal customer.

I have used workshops to generate leads and sales for years. I teach my clients to do the same. So I do know a little bit about the exact steps you need to take to create an amazing experience. There are 7 of them, to be exact.

I'll be teaching those along with all the other aspects of multi-channel marketing to the Rebel Tribe. If you're not a member, now would be a good time to ask me about it.

 

Most of You Don't...

Do you have a system in your business? A way to generate leads? A page to capture them with? Do you have an autoresponder connected to that page so you can communicate with them? Do you have a good set of follow up letters or the ability to write yourself?

Or are you just wandering social media hoping that somebody miraculously buys from you?

You may not want to hear this but it just doesn't work that way. ALL successful home business owners have a system.

Yeah...yeah....I know. When you signed up, your sponsor told the story about how some guy in your upline recruited a superstar at his very first meeting and is now getting rich.

Or you bought the hype...along with whatever new software package, tool, training, program...that all you had to do was press a few buttons and your business would make millions on autopilot.

Hate to tell you but that's all smoke and mirrors. One way or another you are going to have to learn some skills and have a way to generate leads and make sales.

I'd like to help you with that. And right now I am going to offer something VERY special. If you check out the newest addition to my long-term residual income streams, and get our new free app, I will personally help you set up your simple business system over the next 2 weeks.

We'll work on it together and we'll have it set up in minutes.

Not only will we set up your system, but you will be added to my VIP group where you will learn all you need to set up a lead generation machine any time you want.

Learning this one skill will change your business FOREVER.

AND if you love what you see and decide to join my team, I'll add you to our marketing group where not only will we teach you the skills, we'll provide you with all the marketing materials you need while you're learning.

September is the month to build your system! My goal is to set up 100 or more people with simple marketing systems that WORK. I want the industry to SEE that this stuff is fundamental. Once you see how simple this is you will bang your head against the wall in frustration over all the years spent on smoke and hype.

It's a money printing machine if you stay consistent.

I can show you what to do. You have to actually do it. But I will have you in a space where you get all the support you need. So go get your free app...even if you have no intention of joining me. Although I think you'll like what you see. Heck, you might even make some money!

Because your going to want to learn this stuff ASAP. I can only handle so many people so if you want this ACT NOW. I don't know anywhere you can learn basic marketing over a few hours without even joining or buying anything.

I've never done this before. So take advantage of me while I am on a mission. You've been looking for answers. I want to teach you what I learned eons ago that changed everything for me. It's a thought process. One that you want to acquire if you are serious about making serious money. Hope to see you. This is important.

Accountability in Self-Coaching: How Does It Work?

Do you love the idea of self-coaching? Are you worried about giving it a try? Are you wondering, “How do I coach myself effectively? Maybe if I self-coach I’ll end up letting myself off the hook.”

Well what you are looking for is accountability. It’s an important part of any coaching relationship. But with self-coaching, it’s easy to let yourself slide. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to hold onto accountability…

Write Down Your Goals

The first step is to be open about what you’re trying to accomplish. If you’re not clear on what your goal is, self-coaching may not be a good fit for you at this time. You may need the help of a life coach to determine what your goals are.

If you know what you want to do, then write down that goal. You want to be specific while doing this. Don’t put down a vague goal like “earn more money” or “lose some weight”. Get honest with yourself here—do you want to earn an extra 20K this year? Are you working to lose 60 pounds?

The more specific you are, the easier accountability will be. That’s because you’ll be able to look back and see if you’ve achieved your goals or not.

Set Milestones

Once you know what your goal is, establish what the milestones are. Milestones are like rest stops. If you’ve ever traveled on a long road trip, then you know how refreshing a good stop can be. It gives you a chance to stretch your legs, fuel back up, and remind yourself why you were excited about the journey in the first place.

Tiny milestones tend to work best. So if your goal is to lose 60 pounds, then focus on losing the first 10. If you want to earn $20K extra this year, concentrate on making $2K first. With small milestones you feel like you’re making progress faster and you’ll be more energized to keep going.

Review Your Progress

An important part of accountability is stopping to look at your progress regularly. Every two to three months, have a check-in session. This is when you pull out your list of goals and your milestones. If you’re getting closer to your goal and hitting milestones, celebrate.

If you’re not making the progress you’d hoped to be, don’t use this as an excuse to shame or berate yourself. Instead, get curious. Ask yourself why you’re not reaching for this goal and be honest in your answer. Is it really that you don’t have time? Or is it that you’re not making it a priority?

Course Correct

As you review your progress toward your goals, you may spot problems. This is an excellent time to course correct. For example, if your goal is to write a book and you’re still on chapter one, you may realize that you need to build writing time into your schedule each day.

Reward Yourself

An important part of the self-coaching process is rewarding good behavior. When you reach a milestone or a goal, you need to give yourself positive feedback in the form of a reward.

This reward should match the accomplishment. You don’t want to give yourself a lavish $10K vacation cruise if your goal is to save money and invest it.

Instead, choose a reward that you find exciting and that represents your goal. For example, if your goal is to build your business then training or a tool to help you on your new path would make an excellent reward for reaching a business goal.

Accountability is necessary in every coaching relationship, especially when you’re self-coaching. It takes discipline and determination to reach your goals but you can do it if you’re committed to the process.

It Takes a Bit to Impress Me

I've been around the industry for a very long time. I've been with many different companies. I have seen it all. And not to sound snooty or anything but it does take a bit to get my attention. I'm just not easily impressed. There's so much noise and junk out there it's really hard to tell who to listen to or which products are actually worth a damn. So for me it's always about who can show me the goods and show me the money.

And it's not that I am all about money. But if you are running a network marketing business, isn't that what you are supposed to do? Offer products that actually work? That people actually want? So you can turn a profit? I've always thought so.

You probably heard me say last year that I was leaving network marketing. And I fully intended to. But a few weeks ago I was introduced to some new products and two new-to-me companies.

The products did appeal to me and my husband so we gave them a try and you know what?

They work. Just like they're supposed to.

Then I got invited to learn more about each company. (What can I say? My friends are network marketers!)

And you know what?

I'm impressed. Enough that I am back in the network marketing biz. Enough that I joined BOTH of them. Because finding a simple, stable program, run by real decent people, with a low cost entry fee, that I know will be there tomorrow....

Well, it's like finding a nice, quiet, safe place in a good neighborhood where you know it's safe to hang out. It's not near all the cool clubs where all the little wanna-be's gather, trying to look big. It's not trendy with inflated costs. It's quiet, stable, dependable, and safe.

Which is just how I like 'em. Maybe that's why I'm still here after all these years.

I did my time chasing trendy and new and discovered that it's a good way to to lose. That's why I now build multiple rock solid revenue streams in safe and reliable environments that do not take advantage of the new guy in order to make money.

I don't know what you are promoting right now...

But if you want to see the non-hypey, impressive, latest additions to my long-term residual income streams, than you can get a free promotional link to the first one so you can make money right away without spending a dime.

Do that HERE

The other one may not be for everybody. I admit, I never envisioned myself in this business. But after seeing what the products did for my husband, I couldn't say no.

There's a Zoom tonight if you want to hop on

I learned a long time ago...the hard way, unfortunately...that slick wasn't for me. I run a simple business with simple products and tools.

Building strong residuals takes time but you CAN make cash flow today. If you're new to the game I hope I can save you from some of the nonsense and heartache I experienced. If you have been through the wringer I hope you get off the merry-go-round and let me show you how simple it all can be.

I have two multi-levels. Various support tools. All create residual income. And when you understand how it all works, you make money every day from all the sources, it's like that magical easy button everyone is looking for. It's been right here all the time. And I am willing to show you.

Like I said, it takes a bit to impress me. THIS impressed me.

The Things They Teach You These Days

If you were in my VIP group last year, you were there for the discussion around positioning.

I have often spoken of the importance of positioning.

Positioning can catapult you forward in ways you can not imagine.

For example:

When social media was new I was one of a few "women of a certain age",

AKA "baby boomer", that was using it. My phone rang off the hook with other "boomers" wanting to know how I was learning it. Was it hard? Did it work?

And because of that, I built relationships that still stand...even 16 years later. I have trained their teams. They took my book to best-seller status. They have driven tons of business my way. All because of POSITIONING.

It's easy pickings because people want to work with those who are in the forefront. That's just human. And that's just positioning.

But then there's pandering.

Pandering is trying to convince or cajole.

Examples of PANDERING would be when someone takes a picture of themselves with a microphone and tries to convince people they are a speaker. Or posting pictures all over of themselves with the hottest business "gurus".

Or trying to show people how important they are because they're attending an event or eating dinner with someone of interest.

Pandering is when we are not demonstrating our skills but instead trying to capitalize on a person, place or circumstance to gain attention.

Pandering is taught by many in the industry. How many of you have been told to take a picture with all the big dogs in the business and post them everywhere?

Stand in front of the logo at an event and take a picture? Scream about your company and its products instead of promoting yourself?

But ask yourself...

Is that going to get you business? Or does it get the big dog business? Does it encourage someone to go to next year's event instead of hanging out with you? Does it build loyalty to a company that is not yours, that you don't own, and have no control over?

Kinda makes you go "hmmmmmmm"

Truth is that positioning is never about screaming about anything. It's not about bragging and manipulation. It's about execution and being known for something. It's about relationships. It's about being confident in what you have and what you know.

Proper positioning can explode your business and save you a ton of effort. Pandering can keep you stalled....forever.

So the next time you are tempted to jump up and down and shout, "Look at me! See me! See who I'm with! See what I'm doing!"

Ask yourself, " Am I positioned properly for now and for the future? Will what I am doing and saying today help me tomorrow? How are people seeing me? As a wanna-be trying to look big? Or as a confident professional?"

If you are in this for the long haul you want to think about these things and create true positioning that will carry you to the top much faster than you ever imagined.

This is the type of stuff I teach. I am not a coach. I am not a guru. I am a PERSONAL TRAINER. I am a MENTOR. I am not looking for tons of people. I am looking for the select few. The question is...are you one of them?

Positioning is everything. It's why the call me SAGE...keeper of knowledge, giver of wisdom. I didn't ask for that. It's just what they call me.

What will they call you?

Is Self-Coaching Right For You?

Self-coaching can be a wonderful adventure! But how successful you are can depend on the stage of change you're in. If you're wondering about self-coaching, here are four times you should consider doing it.

If You're Fully Committed

Self-coaching works best when you're already fully committed to making a change or are in the process of making a change. If you know that something in your life needs to be changed and you're ready to do the work, you may only need the occasional pep talk from yourself.

If You're Taking Consistent Action

Those who do best with self-coaching tend to be what's known as "self-starters". They don't need external circumstances (like a boss) telling them to do things. They simply get up and do what needs to be done.

When you're already taking consistent action toward your goals, you're internally motivated. You're not depending on others to wake you up and get you going. You're already rolling!

If You're Already Working With A Coach

Self-coaching does work well alongside hired coaching or other interventions like counseling. Just because you're already working with a coach or a counselor doesn't mean you should give up on the idea of self-coaching. It just adds an extra layer of wisdom to the experience.

If You Already Have The Skills

Sometimes, you may already have the skills you need for a task You might also be familiar with the tools and techniques you'll need to navigate a tricky transition in your personal life or career.

Having the support of a coach during this time can be a wonderful thing. But if you're already confident in your skills or know how to use mindset tools, you may find self-coaching enjoyable and fun.

When Doesn't Self-Coaching Work?

Self-coaching is not as likely to be effective when you're learning a new skill or technique. That's because you may need the support and advice that comes from someone who's already been where you are.

You also may need a coach when you have ambivalence about making a change or when you feel paralyzed by indecision. That's because coaches are used to guiding their clients through difficult life choices and they have experience doing this.

Self-coaching can be a wonderful adventure! But remember, the effectiveness of your self-coaching will depend on the stage of change you're in and the level of confidence you've achieved with your preferred coaching tools.

It's a Season of Transition

I've lived on the dirt road now for 23 years. Been in business just as long. Longer, if you count my "formative years." Been married to the same man for 37 years.

We make our annual trip to Vegas. Our annual trip to Tucumcari. Our annual trips to Idaho, Dallas, and Florida.

My daily routine rarely changes.

I guess you could say I am a creature of habit. Pretty set in my ways. It's a quiet, comfortable life.

And then suddenly, my quiet day-to-day routine has been upended. What started with just having the living room and dining room in our house repainted grew into an entire remodeling project which is STILL ongoing.

And then the hubs shows up one day with a brand new van and announces we are going to convert it into a camper van.

And just when I'm thinking at least my business is stable, the program that I have been with for years and that I have shared with everyone possible because it is THAT good announced that they are closing.

Now I don't mind change. I'm a Gemini after all. But even I was knocked off my center for a bit. Everything that I had built...gone.

But I was only reeling for a bit. Perhaps this is a GOOD THING. Newly remodeled house. Newly converted camper van. New era of life. Why not a new business?

Isn't it strange how that happened? How God decided to put me on a completely fresh path in my life? And while many people would be in panic mode right now, stressed and overwhelmed, I am not.

My house is much more comfortable and the remodeling has helped me to see all of the "junk" I had filled my space with. Decluttering is underway. I am removing all that no longer serves me.

The van will allow us to travel more comfortably and with the furry family in tow. No more worries about if they are being cared for when we travel.

I have worked to keep my mind and body as healthy as possible so I am not facing any of the issues others in my age bracket deal with.

And my business? Well, the parent company of the program I was with did not shut down. They just decided to take all of their 15 years of experience and stability into a new start up. And that start up is going to give me more opportunity than I had in the first place. If I want to go after it. If I want to work for it.

Yes, I'm talking about MLSP. MLSP is now Digital Mentors. Totally new name. Expanded focus. Same awesome folks. Same amazing support.
