Was 2012 kind to you? Will 2013 be different?

I encourage you as we walk into this new year, determine what you have allowed to hold you back over the last 12 months, maybe your entire life. What excuses have you made? How many times have you said I will do that tomorrow? How many times have you said I cannot afford that, or even worse having to tell your children, we can't afford that? What did you accomplish on your goal list for the year?

I don't know about you however I remember those years that I put things off, that I didn't work the way I should of, where I made excuses in place of action, where I watched my life dwindle away into hardship and sadness, the years where I was simply surviving and watching the world pass me on by verses being the one IN THE WORLD CHANGING IT.

Now that I am a professional, DEDICATED, ACTION TAKER and have been able to watch not only my life but SO MANY others that I care about change around me due to commitment and action over the last 1 year... I only have a few things for you to help bring awareness to your life...

What is 2013 to you? What are you going to COMMIT to now for a new time, a new day, a new opportunity to create the life you envision? Are you COMMITTED to taking the actions every day? Are you COMMITTED to writing out your specific goals and knowing that you already have them accomplished this year? Are you ready to make the decisions and choices NOW, to create that tomorrow that will brighten and beauty your life and most importantly other's lives?

What choices have you put on the back burner that could have changed your life in the last 12 months? You know the ones where you say, I would have started that new business BUT I didn't have the money, then you went and spent $500 on materialistic things you did not need. I would have taken on changing my health, losing that 20 pounds BUT I didn't have the time. I would have spent more time on personal development BUT I just work way too much. I would have spent more time with people who inspire me BUT I already have all these people I say yes in my life to now (which usually are people who are sucking you dry of your positive energy). I would have given back more BUT I couldn't even pay my own bills, how could I help someone else?

I AM NOT just telling you that you can CHANGE that, I have SHOWN that you can. I have proved that no matter what circumstances you come from or experiences you have been in, ALL you have to do is make the choice and take action. You have to be the IMPACTOR not the victim.
QUIT the excuses, QUIT the pity party, get OVER yourself and just choose right here and now that you will do WHAT IT TAKES to make those changes in your life by doing what will ALLOW those in.

I encourage you, don't wait to the 1st. Do it TODAY. COMMIT today. Make the DECISION today. Take the ACTION on what you envision today.

As we walk into this New Year, I am sending you all my heart, love and light within your journey. Know the BLESSING you are to this world and how incredibly talented you are. IT IS in you, you have got the goods, just BELIEVE in yourself enough to use them. And surround yourself with those who have what you want and will light up your life with positivity!

Thank you Jennifer May for your amazing, inspiring words!

Don't kiss your chances goodbye

Many times each day I am approached by other entrepreneurs who want me to join their company with them.  Ninety eight percent of the time I am seriously annoyed. 

Times have changed in the way people market their business.  Just a few years ago you could post ads all over the internet and your inbox would be flooded with people messaging you for more information on what you’re doing. Now, things are different.  You can spends hours a day posting ads all over the internet and get ZERO response from your efforts.

So what is working?

The answer and methods are simple; relationship building and attraction marketing.  When it comes down to it, people join people, not companies. 

Think about it.  If you were a door to door salesperson selling vacuum cleaners and you went into someone’s home to present your product to them, what are the chances that they buy a vacuum from you if you barely said a word? Even though you might have the greatest vacuum ever, in order to get them to buy it you need to build a rapport with them, get to know them and get them to like and trust YOU.

The same goes for this industry.  You want to take the time to get to know someone because if you shove your business in someone’s face right away before taking the time to build a rapport with them, you can kiss your chances goodbye.

In some of my Facebook group that I am a member of, I hear people say “There is no selling in my business.”  I want to laugh when I hear that because honestly you need to sell yourself to your prospects in order for them to join you.  You want them to see what YOU have to offer and why YOU are the person they should join with.   So again it comes back to that relationship building.  Ultimately that person wants to know who they are joining with and that you have their best interest at heart and that you’ll be there for them.  

So I want you to try this.  Instead of posting an ad on the internet or even your Facebook page, go to your Facebook page, if you have one and message 3 separate people who are not in the same company as you and who you haven’t talk with in a while.  In the message simply say something like “Hi (their first name).  It’s been a while.  How are you?”  Start building a relationship with them, catch up, see what they’re up to and eventually it come full circle where you’re able to talk about your business with them.  It might not happen right away and that is alright.  Keep going back to them and keep that connection going.
