Time Waits For No Woman

I know you've heard that saying, or a variation of it anyway. And it's true. Time marches on. And if you aren't paying attention, suddenly you realize that you haven't met all the goals you set for yourself.

And you're out of time.

I'm there right now. There are things that I wanted to achieve that I haven't and unfortunately, due to age or physical constraints or life circumstances, the time to be able to do them has passed. I have suddenly realized that there are just some things that are going to be left undone.

And I am fine with that!

One thing I have learned out here on the dirt road is that there is more to success than reaching goals. What matters most are other things like...

Did I make a difference in someone's life?

Did I do something significant?

And before you start protesting, remember. What may seem small and important to you may make all the difference to someone else.

Did I leave something that will last after I am gone? Am I leaving a LEGACY?

My readers of a "certain age" may be experiencing this as well....the questioning that led me to Life on the Dirt Road. When you begin to look at all you have accomplished and yet wonder why you aren't fulfilled. When you ask yourself, "Is this really all there is?" And like me, you may be redefining what it means to be successful. Making changes. Creating a different kind of lifestyle.

I LOVE my life! I know I have made a difference. I have had impact. And the lessons I have taught my daughters and grandchildren, the example I have tried to set for other marketers, is my legacy.

Many of my younger readers may be looking at this and wondering, "What is that old woman talking about?!"

I am talking about this. I'm talking about not waiting until 65 to figure out what's really important in life. I'm talking about being a "difference-maker". I'm talking about creating impact. About leaving a legacy.

You can still pursue those other goals. Make $10,000 a month or more in your business. Speak on big important stages. Drive that cool car. Take those exotic vacations. Hang with the "cool kids".

But every once in a while take a look at your vision, your values, and your mission and make sure they are in alignment with those goals. So at 65 you too can be saying, "I LOVE my life!" Instead of 'Is that all there is?"

I challenge each of you today to sit down and write a personal mission statement. Not for your business. For your LIFE. Let me know what you come up with.

How to Make More Money in Less Time With Less People

Affiliate marketing. You've all heard the term. But do you all know what it is? And why low-ticket affiliate sales can actually make you a CHUNK of money?

Think about this. When you approach someone with your mega-dollar high-ticket item, you are a SALESPERSON! No way to deny it. That's what you are. And people are almost genetically coded to regard salespeople with distrust.

Think about you're own behavior when you are shopping, and the salesperson approaches you and asks if they can help you. What is your response? Usually it's something like, "No thank you. I'm just looking." Salespeople are regarded as predators. It's in our DNA!

Now think how much different it is when you go to customer service and ask where something is. Totally different relationship because now they are not salespeople....even though they really are. Now they are perceived as helpful customer service.

It's the same in MLM or High Ticket Sales. When you try to sell someone a $200/month autoship or a $2000 coaching program, you are a salesperson. How much easier would it be to say try my $29 bottle of weight loss supplements or my $7 training video? Now you're selling something affordable that your customer really wants. And when you contact them again in a few days to just follow up and see how they are doing and you CASUALLY mention your other items, you aren't selling them anything, you're just following up to see if they got what they ordered from you.

Now you are not a salesperson. You are customer service checking to make sure everything is good with their order.

Plus, numerous statistics have proven if you can get someone to break the ice and spend even just $1 with you, they are more likely to purchase from you again in the future. You have now earned their trust. You aren't a salesperson anymore. Now you are their friend who helped them solve a problem.

Unfortunately, even today, many MLMs do not have a retail component. You either buy the big package of stuff or nothing. You can't get just the one or two items you may really want.

Enter affiliate marketing!

Affiliate marketing is the process by which an affiliate earns a commission for marketing another person’s or company’s products. How does this help you sell your main product?

Once you sell someone some little something, now you are free to follow up with them just to see how things are. They will talk to you. They are no longer defensive. You will be able to get more information from them about their needs and wants. Then you will know how to steer them to whatever you want them to buy.

Affiliate marketing is a great way to make some money while you are attracting the right kind of people to your main offer. It's a great front-end product.

You can also use affiliate marketing to sell things AROUND your main product.

Think PepsiCo.

When you think of Pepsi, you think soda. Which they will happily sell you. But so many people are trying to get healthy now. So Pepsi will also sell you Aquafina and LIFEWTR. And KeVita Kombucha. They will sell you Doritos and Quaker Oats. Cheetos and Sabra Hummus.

Now think of me. I am back in the MLM biz. I will happily sign you up in my business opportunity and sell you a pretty phenomenal weight loss product.

But I also sell training for marketers. Both my own and through affiliate marketing programs. I promote the tools marketers need. Autoresponders, website builders, text messaging systems, snail mail systems. I promote the 360 Marketing System, reports and books and coaching programs, my best-selling book, ring lights, and headsets, and microphones for video marketers.

So even if someone doesn't sign up for my business opportunity, I am still likely to sell them something because they are still looking for something to help them make money. I don't create any of these things except some of the trainings and my book. I just find things my people can use that has a really good sales process around it and I point people at them. I simply show them where they can find what they are looking for (with my affiliate link of course), and let someone else do the selling for me.

I am NOT a good salesperson. But I am a VERY good friend who can always help you find something you need. And because of that, I will always be able to generate cashflow and leads.

If you are looking for the right affiliate programs, obviously I recommend ours. But this isn't about signing you up for our programs. This is about being a SMART business person. So when you look for one, look for one with a strong sales process that will continually remarket on your behalf. One that has stability and a good track record. Make sure the people attached to it have stellar reputations. And of course, an opportunity for escalating earnings is a plus.

Affiliate marketing is the way to make more money in less time with less people selling folks what they already want to buy.

I'm your VERY good friend who will help you find the community you need to finally BEcome a professional marketer.

Easy Ways to Stand Out On Social Media

I hope everyone is kicking off 2023 strong and getting set up for a great year. I've been busy with the launch of BeClub, my new podcast, and finishing the remodel on our house. All good stuff! And in the spirit of sharing goodness, I wanted to give you some easy tips for standing out on social media. It's still early in the new year so it's the perfect time to grow your brand and increase your visibility on social media.

Here you go...

My best EASY tips to stand out on social media:

1. Don't post something just because someone else is. In other words, don't post something just because you think it will get likes. Post what comes naturally to you. People love REAL...imperfections and all. So don't stop being you and don't stop sharing that with others.

2. Choose your primary platform. I'm moving more and more to Reels and TikTok. You might choose Facebook or Instagram. It's okay to be active on others so you are seen. But choose one platform to make your home and master it!

3. Don't be afraid to learn and try new things. And have fun. Social media should not be a chore. Learn the skills necessary to make it fun for you and your audience. When I started on TikTok, I struggled because I was trying to look like all the big influencers. It wasn't fun for me. It wasn't engaging for my followers. But once I slowed down and learned some very basic skills, it became easier to let my own personality show.

 
4. Share what you know, what you are passionate about, what sets your soul on fire. You'll notice I never engage in anything about crypto or forex. Not my thing. ZERO interest. Even when I'm talking about ways to make money, I never mention these. Because I can't speak to them with any FIRE! But get me talking about FREEDOM and CHOICES and you'll see me get all fired up about that. Because no matter what path you take to get there, the ability to choose your own path is what truly matters to me.

5. Build relationships. Ask your audience questions and reply to the comments. Interact on other's content. Get a conversation going! This is where the magic happens! Don't just post and run.

6. Make videos or Go LIVE...or both. I don't do much livestreaming. Mostly because my internet is so unstable. Joys of country living! But I do a lot of videos and reels. Video, especially short form video, is the hot thing! And it gives people a chance to feel like they are really getting to know you, and therefore like you, and ultimately trust you...enough to do business with you.

 
7. Be consistent. Show up regularly. This is probably the most important thing you can do. We have all seen the person who is just getting started and they are all excited about their business. And they are everywhere! But then, either they don't get the results they think they should right away, or they get tired because they didn't learn early on how to pace themselves...and suddenly they are just gone. And then a month or two later, they either are onto something new or they've gotten reenergized and they pop back up again...but their audience has already moved on. This is not a get-rich-quick scheme. This is business. People need to see you showing up over a period of time so they know you are here for them over the long haul.

It's time to think long-term. Not just today's sale or tomorrow's sign-up. This is why it's so important to build your brand and show up consistently.


These are my 7 top tactics to help you stand out on social media. Maybe they seem simplistic, but trust me. If you implement these faithfully, you will see the results!


Which one did you like best? Are you already doing these? What are your results? Do you have any other tactics that have worked for you? Comment below and let me know.

Originality Matters

You're struggling to create content. No ideas are blossoming. You scroll social media, read a few blogs, check some newsletters and suddenly, there it is! The perfect piece of content. It's a bit old. And the source is a bit obscure. But that's all the better! People are less likely to remember it. So what's the harm if you copy it and use it as your own?


Well, there is one small problem.  Facebook, Google, your audience all value ORIGINAL content. Content that comes from your heart. Content that springs from your own personal experience. And they will punish you for copying and pasting someone else's material. Facebook and Google by limiting your reach. Your audience by limiting their engagement with your content. (Not to mention you are now guilty of plagiarism).

Ok, so can change up the wording some to make it sound more like you, and without too much effort, you can still have a great piece of content. Better? Not really. If you look and sound just like everybody else out there, even if you are using "your own words", why should I follow you? What's the value?

Let's create content that's truly yours. Your insights. Your perspective. Your experiences. It doesn't have be to some deep-thinking, earth-shattering piece of content. You just need to be YOURSELF. You need to share your knowledge and experience.

Sure there are a lot of network marketers out there. A ton of health coaches. Lots of makeup consultants. Jewelry makers. Financial advisors. In fact, you can choose almost any niche and it's loaded with folks trying to build a business. But none of them are YOU! None of them have seen things through your eyes. They haven't had your successes or your failures.


Why was my little network marketing book such a hit? A best-seller? Because I took everything that other "experts" were teaching and used my own experience to show why most of it didn't work. I wasn't afraid to admit that I struggled. Quit. Got back up and tried again. Repeatedly. And every time I learned something new.

I wasn't afraid to say that most of the "gurus" didn't really know how the average network marketer worked. And eventually I put all that experience into a book. I gave my audience something they couldn't get anywhere else no matter how hard they searched. Me. My experience using what was being taught at the time. And the ways I had found to make my business work.

I don't know about you but I'm tired of seeing the same copy/paste content. Let's share the most valuable content possible. You. And if you're still struggling with how to just BE yourself and still earn money, BeClub is launching. Ask me for an invitation. I mean, it's free and all, so what's stopping you?

Where Will You Be One Year From Now?

I totally overslept today! I was awakened by the menagerie of fur babies that decided they had waited long enough for "walkies" and breakfast.

I am glad that they feel loved and protected enough to get up on the bed to wake me. They are all rescues and have had some bad experiences so that makes me feel wonderful.

I remember when each of them became members of the family. It was frustrating. One would hide under the bed. One wouldn't come out of the carrier. One would hiss and spit if you tried to pet him. But slowly things, turned around and eventually things got better. Now we're all family!

Our businesses are like that. They take time. They take lots of patience. Consistent love and attention.  And yes, they take work. But how can you be consistent when you're not seeing results? You know it takes time. You know it takes work. But it's SOOOO hard because you aren't seeing the results!

You are missing that positive feedback mechanism. (Yes, I took Psychology in school). Almost everything worth waiting for takes time. Losing weight. Exercising. Eating better. earning a new language. Creating a business...

Did you know that if you start where you are and improve by just 1% every day, you will be 365% better a year from now? Yes, it's very slow progress at first. Most people will give up. But it starts to accelerate over time. Start today and improve 1% tomorrow. Rinse and repeat.

Don't do this for me. Do it for you. Start your own challenge. Do a 30 day challenge...of anything. It could be walking. It could be drinking water. It could be creating videos. It could be personal or business. You choose.

I'm doing my own personal challenge of morning exercise. I am not a morning person so working out first thing in the morning is a way to get my energy flowing. So far I've done 7 workouts in 7 days.

It only takes 21 days to build a habit (so they say) so if you want to do a 21 day challenge to get started, that's fine too.

So I'm asking you today what is your personal challenge? What are you going to challenge yourself to do? You can do whatever challenge you like. Personal, business...or BOTH!

Think about where your business will be a year from now if you just start something today.

P.S. You might find this 3 minute TED Talk from Matt Cutts (yes, that Matt Cutts) inspiring.

Challenge Yourself!

Defining Your Perfect Day

I have a question for you. What's most important to you? What is the one thing you really want to do on a daily basis that would make a big difference, but you just can’t seem to find the time for?

I mean, it is that time of year, right? The time for "spring cleaning." Renewal. Rebirth. Getting our summer whatever.

So what good habit do you want to cultivate that would make a real impact on your life?

Really think about this for a moment. Don't just resort to the standard "lose more weight", "make more money", blah, blah, blah. REALLY give it some thought this time. It can be in any area of your life.

Health and fitness...

Making more time for self-care.

Starting a walking program.

Drinking water instead of sugary drinks.




Or it could be business related...

Generate better quality sales leads.

Improve your SEO.

Increase brand exposure.

Create and maintain social media profiles.




Or it could be something important...

Spending more time with your family and friends.

Or as simple as getting in the habit of reading every morning.


You have to figure out what you want to work on, what you want to improve, and what's important to you. Then you can think about how to make it part of your daily routine.

So sit back and imagine your perfect day. It isn't stressed and rushed. You have time for everything on your list.


A long shower.

A run before breakfast or after work.

Imagine it in as much detail as you possibly can. Write it down in your journal. Define your perfect day.

And there are marketing materials. Lots of them. Created by the best minds in the business.

But the best part is the people. A whole bunch of people just like you. People who want a better life for themselves and their family. People who want the freedom to live their dream life.
