How to reclaim your confidence so you can  show up boldly, and authentically

 

“Confidence is just so key in so many things.”

 

Rochelle Marie

 

In today’s Podcast Brooke is talking with Rochelle Marie about how we can be more confident in what we're doing and show up more authentically. Rochelle is from New Zealand and currently lives in Australia. She is an internationally selling author and has a post grad certificate in Career development and education. 

 

Her mission now is to empower and inspire a hundred thousand women into leadership roles where they can make a difference  and that all starts with confidence.

 

“You don't regret the things that you do. You only regret the things that you don't do.” - Rochelle Marie.

 

If you don’t  have a lot of confidence you need to  make yourself step out of your comfort zone and do things and not regret not doing them. You need to feel the fear and do it anyway.

 

Another way to gain confidence is to  listen to podcasts or a lot of books and start talking to a lot of the women who have already made it. Another area that is key as well and get into leadership roles.

 

One of the key areas is making things a micro habit, starting a micro habit in whatever it is that you're not confident in. The more that you set expectations of yourself and say, “okay, this is the thing that I'm going to do.” And then once you start building that you can get confidence in so many other areas because you're committed to yourself and you have that follow through. 

 

It’s a big thing to be committed to yourself.  If you say you’re going to do something  it kind of also makes you really think about what you say and what you're committing to yourself. Whatever I say I'm going to do or not going to do, this is the line in the sand. When you adopt this thinking then you become very mindful about what it is you're committing to and there will be no more pie in the sky commitments.

 

Another tip is called creating an alter ego. Choose at least three people that you can see traits in them that you would love to embody. Be very clear on what those traits are and write them down. Once you've identified those traits, it's a matter of mashing them together. Generally you find that you're attracted to those traits because you did once have them. The more that you do that you actually start becoming that person you really want to be deep down inside.

 

“If you don’t have confidence to back you up, it makes going on the journey of Network Marketing so much harder.” -Brooke Elder.

Don't be a spammy weirdo when you cold message people

 

“It’s all about creating conversations, it’s not about how many copy and paste messages you send.”

 

Brooke Elder

 

In Podcast 126 Brooke shares the first episode of Spam Squad, where she teaches how to not be spammy, but still get results. She walks through the psychology and motives of messaging and what it is you’re trying to accomplish and how to do it in an Authentic way. 

 

Brooke gives examples of actual spammy messages that she and her team have found on social media. She walks you through why you shouldn’t post like that and what you can do instead.

 

“Think of what you’re really telling people when you send messages.” - Brooke Elder.

 

Sometimes when you don't know how to be authentic, or you're getting those copy and paste messages from your upline, and you're like, “this doesn't feel right, but I don't know what to do instead.”  That’s what this episode is going to do,  we're going to say, okay, this is what is not good. This is what good looks like. So that way we can really save everyone from all the spammy weirdos that are out there. 

 

If you're having conversations with people, you need to have actual conversations with people. You can't just do copy and paste messages and throw them out. All the things that we are told to do in network marketing  just makes you look like you're desperate and it makes it look like you don't care about other people and it's not authentic. 

 

When you send messages think “what is my motive?” If you're motivated by,  “I want them to join my team” or “I want them to buy my stuff,” it's never going to work - ever. But if your motive is “I'm here to serve”  and “I just want to see if there's any way that I could help this person” and that's why you're asking these questions, then that is how you are going to be able to actually build your business and grow. 

 

One authentic way to start messaging is to use the “FROG” method. You want to ask open-ended questions, not yes or no, because you want them to engage. And if they give you back, like one word answers, it means that they don't want to talk to you. 

 

F stands for Family, ask something about their family. R stands for Recreation, a great question especially now with COVID, what do they do for fun? O stands for Occupation. Occupation is where we start listening about how their job is going, are they looking for an opportunity. And then G stands for Goals. This is an awesome time to discuss goals because the new year has just started. Using the FROG method helps build a conversation, a connection and an authentic relationship.

 

“It's all about getting quality people to talk to and really creating a relationship. When you do that, you're going to come off authentic and you're not going to be spammy. .” - Brooke Elder. 

 

If you would like to hear more examples on how not to be spammy and how to build an authentic business, check out the weekly episodes of SPAM SQUAD every Friday on the Authentic Influencer Marketing on Facebook.

Growing your business on pinterest

 

“The one thing people don’t understand about Pinterest is it’s a search engine, it’s essentially Google with pictures.”

 

Missy Campbell

 

Podcast 125 talks to Missy Campbell, an expert when it comes to Instagram and Pinterest. Missy has a business that helps people infuse minimalism into their business using social media strategy, implementation and podcast management. She shares simple tips that you can implement into your network marketing business.

 

Missy was obsessed with Pinterest and Instagram because as a photographer she loved visual things. They're such powerful platforms. A lot of people think of them as fun and I'm just posting pictures, but there is a bit of a strategy to it. If you can understand the why of it and how it works, it can really work for you and you can spend less time doing it and get a lot more benefit from using them.

 

“The point of Pinterest is traffic.” - Missy Campbell.

 

With every image that you make, you want to send somebody somewhere. It could be to your Instagram account, could be to your group. It could be to a page where they sign up to find out more from you like an email list, your Facebook page or however you have your funnel structured for people to connect with you. Really think outside the box because you’re  not just sending them to a blog post,  it's literally anywhere on the internet.

 

Pinterest is a fun way of marketing and understanding the basics is keywords. What phrases and words are people going to be searching for if they are interested in what you have to offer. That’s how you will create your board structure. Each one should be specific, related to the thing that you are selling. Really bring your personality to what you’re doing, but don’t keep it super professional and businesslike because people really want to connect with the human aspect.

 

The thing with Pinterest, and this is all compared to other social media, is that it’s really in the setup process, it gains momentum without you doing anything.

 

Once you have set it up and started pinning to collaborative boards and you've joined communities, you have created this ball and it just keeps rolling. It doesn't stop. And it's not like with other social media, Instagram, Facebook, you post and within a week, it's dissipated into the atmosphere. It's gone forever, mostly, unless it's viral. But with Pinterest, a pin can  have a lifespan of almost forever, there's pins that are 10 years old that still probably get pinned thousands of times a month. 

 

The best part about Pinterest is you can really be yourself because it is so visual. It’s so easy to do because pictures say so much about who we are, what pictures we use, how we edit them, or even if we don't edit them, if they're raw that says something about us. Keep it true, just be you, really that is what people want. 

 

“When you are posting, keep it conversational and friendly, not super professional, obviously you want to be an authority, but you want to be human too. Humanness is the more important piece.” - Missy Campbell. 

 

If you can get in front of your person and say what you want to say, serve them, be there for them, show them that you're human, just like them. That's really the point of it. If you are interested in getting connected and learning more tips from Missy, she is on all of the platforms we talked about, Pinterest and Instagram and Facebook, @tasteofsimple at any of those places. Her website is www.tasteofsimple.com. If you have any questions, you can message her on any of those places and tell her  you heard her on Brooke's podcast and she will be happy to guide you in the right direction.

Repurpose & Leverage Your Content To Save Hours Of Work Each Month

 

“The potential for what you want to do, what you want to create, is endless.”

 

Lyndsay Phillips

 

In today’s podcast Brooke talks with Lyndsay Phillips, an amazing content strategist when it comes to social media. Lyndsay knows how to get people to really start paying attention to your personal brand and does it in a way that will save you time and hours!

 

Lyndsay ran an export business and got a taste of entrepreneurial-ism. As she had her kids she started getting into the VA world, being a Virtual Assistant, and loved it. There was so much to learn and it was always changing. She loved the creative aspect of content marketing and started her own business.

 

“The thing I love about network marketing is the company is just a tool in your toolbox and you can really show what your gifts and talents really are through it.” - Brooke Elder.

 

When you are in network marketing, there's obviously a big company behind you, which is an amazing support system, but do not be afraid to individualize it and make it your own and show your personality and do extra things.

 

One great tip is don't just show the products, but really ask questions, get people's opinions. People want to share what they think and how they feel and what they use and share pictures of what they're doing with it. So make it fun.

 

Lyndsay explains how to take content and repurpose it. Repurposing is taking one piece of content and stretching it out to come up with a bunch of other ways to let your audience know what you have to offer using your tips, tricks and all of the things you have to serve them.  She shares how you can do this in a super easy way  that will give you even more content and things to talk about that will save you time and take the pressure off of what to post on social media.

 

Videos are a great avenue for people to consume content. They connect with people much faster, they read your face, they see you. They build that trust, they see you as an expert. So naturally they’re going to you to find out what the best care is or what products are better or whatever.

  

In your video, you’ve probably asked questions or shared three amazing tips. You can take little pieces of content out of that video and they become individual social media posts on their own. So in one video you can pull at least six extra posts and scatter them on social media throughout the week..

 

“Don’t be afraid to share your own experiences and what goes on during your day.” - Lyndsay Phillips. 

 

People want to hear what’s going on in your day or what goes on behind the scenes. They want to connect with you and know what’s going on in your life. They want to connect with people that are a real human, like them. If you would like to find out more of Lyndsay’s tips and tricks on repurposing content, follow her on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/lyndsayaphillips) or check out her website, www.smoothbusinessgrowth.com.

Why you're really not succeeding in network marketing - hype

 

“If you want to build a real sustainable business, you’ve got to get skills, you have to get help, it’s not the hype.”

 

Brooke Elder

 

In Podcast Episode 123 Brooke delves into the reasons why you may not be succeeding in your network marketing business. The one thing that kills a business faster than anything else is hype. 

 

Companies want to build up this hype because when there’s hype, then people get excited. When they're excited, they push themselves out of their comfort zone. So of course, people know, companies know that if we can push people out of their comfort zone, it's going to be way easier for them to hit their goals and everything. And for them as a company to make more money, right? So that's why they build all the hype around everything. 

 

“It takes dedication, anything worth doing does, because if it didn’t, everyone would be doing it.” - Brooke Elder.

 

Network marketing is an amazing vehicle. It takes care of all your customer service, product development, all of the legal issues. It takes care of all the “hard.” Your job as a consultant is to learn and get skills to  know sales and marketing, because if you are just relying on hype, there is nothing really tangible behind it.

 

It’s all about the user experience that you are actually providing people, whether it be through your products or through your opportunity. You need to talk about things in a way that will set the expectations the right way or it’s not going to work because you build up the hype and people have the wrong expectations. 

 

When expectations are set the right way customers will stay customers and team members will stay on the team long- term. The industry average for a consultant to join a network marketing company is to stay  for three months, that’s it! The turnover is so high because most people join because of hype.

 

Why would anyone have a nine to five job if you could just sign up for a network marketing company and just sit back and make money. Posts that promise a work from home job that’s easy, just sign up and make money. That’s selling based on hype. Everyone knows that’s too good to be true.

 

Inside Social Tenacity’s Academy we teach how to recruit and build your business on a solid foundation with the tools and skills you need. You will learn how to talk to a recruit or potential customer and how to find out what their pain points are and the things they are struggling with and how to connect them back to what you are trying to sell them or with your opportunity. And we do it all in a way that is serving them, because Social Tenacity is all about service.

 

“We have a new financial partner that will approve everyone for financing.” - Brooke Elder. 

 

At Social Tenacity we have low monthly programs, year long programs and other tools that we offer to help your business grow authentically to build connections, all without hype. Our new financial software qualifies everyone.  If you’re interested in seeing what you qualify for go to www.socialtenacity.com/approved and fill out your information.

The 3 C's of Making Money on Social Media

 

“Do not be antisocial on social media.”

 

Owen Hone

 

In today’s Podcast Brooke chats with Owen Hone about building an authentic business using social media. Owen is the Founder & Head Coach at Authentic Creation, Personal Trainer, and Nutrition Coach.

 

Owen is from Australia and growing up he was incredibly shy, anxious and insecure. He was always trying to be somebody different for somebody else. He didn’t know how to be himself, how to be authentic. As a late teen, he turned to alcohol and drugs which led him down a pretty dark path. After getting into a car accident his dad gave him a personal development book. He read hundreds of books and listened to thousands of YouTube videos and podcasts. He was hooked on knowing that there was something possible than just what he was experiencing.

 

“If you keep doing the same thing, you will get the same result.” - Owen Hone.

 

How many of you have listened to a podcast or YouTube video and said, “that’s the best thing ever, so amazing!!” Then you wake up the next day and do the same as the day before?  You need to transition from “I want to be successful” to “I have to be successful.”

 

By blocking everything else out and go all-in on your business, you’ll find a way. You’ll ask more questions, you’ll do more work, you’ll keep showing up, even when it seems impossible. If you prepare to be in for the long haul, you’ll succeed.

 

Owen simplifies what can be potentially complex so you can amplify your results, your income and your impact by sharing the three C’s.

 

The first C is Content.  What do you post? What do you share? What do you do? Owen shares the magnetic content matrix that is a very unique blend of different kinds of content that gets your audience to know, like and trust you, so they’re ready to buy from you.

 

The second C is Connections. Connections is where you are literally taking time to block time in your calendar to go and find your target audience. Every like is a lead, every comment is a chance to make a new connection.

 

The third is Conversations. Interview your audience, get to know them, take an interest in them.  Find out what their biggest problems are and present what you have to solve them.

 

“Success is structural, not personal.” - Owen Hone. 

 

If you want to learn more about the three C’s, check out Owen on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/theowenhone/) or on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/theowenhone/?hl=en).

Finding Your Inner Beauty

 

“I had to learn about me, what makes me work and find my beauty, because if God is perfect and He gives us all beauty, I have it.”

 

Kirstin Baxter

 

 

In today’s podcast we talk with Kirstin Baxter who has been in the Social Tenacity program for four years. She is the best example of having tenacity and stepping out of your comfort zone and doing hard things time and time again. She is an empath and growing up as she would try to connect with people and serve them she was told that she took things too seriously. 

 

She felt that in some way she was flawed because she had a sensitive side. Her goal became to try and to be strong and serve other people and help them feel good in a way that wouldn’t make her feel like that flaw was taking over. She became a teacher for a few years and then took a sabbatical from teaching when she became a mom. She tried to find something that helped her feel more like herself and not only the mom of a child.

“When you don’t love yourself already and don’t have self-confidence, it makes it really hard to step out of your comfort zone.” - Kirstin Baxter.

 

Something that we forget or push aside is that when we seek to be a new mom and want to be with our kids, we set up so many obligations and expectations for ourselves. We assume that this is what we're supposed to be. We're supposed to be amazing at breastfeeding. We're supposed to love to clean the house all day. We're supposed to want to make beautiful bows, to put on our kids' heads and all of that, and just enjoy staying at home. When we aren't finding all that joy, we feel like we're failing.

 

It is important to set a relationship with yourself and be authentic to who you are. Start keeping commitments that you made to yourself, like setting work hours or family time. Then find ways to celebrate little things that you do for yourself  and ways to love where you are at and who you are.

 

The way you can get over fear and doubt is courage and confidence. The way that we build confidence is by creating a space where we can keep promises to ourselves. When we are true to ourselves and true to our commitments, that’s also going to build confidence.

 

Sometimes you may have self negative thoughts, but you should never give up on yourself. Everyone has their own individual strengths. Once you discover what your strength is, you learn a lot about who you are and how your strength can help you in your own authentic way to serve the world.

 

 When you recognize your inner beauty you will be able to influence the world in your own way. When you allow yourself to be your authentic self, you can serve others and help them even more to see their greatness. We all have our own light, but we all need each other.

 

“As we recognize the needs and the ways that we can give and work together, we can truly lift the world and be stronger together.” - Kirstin Baxter

 

We should stand like elephant moms. Instead of running away with fear, when a predator comes, they stand side by side with their back toward their young, toward the predator. And they stand in solidarity saying, go away predator, you have no place here. And the lion or whoever it is will give up and walk away. And these elephant moms don't look at each other and be like “her size, my goodness”, or “who am I to stand next to these ones? They're so much taller than me.” They don't do any of that. They say, no, we're strong because we're together. And because we're together, we will continue to be stronger.

Habits to become Happier and Healthier in the new year

 

“Building habits slowly and steadily is much better than trying, expecting yourself to be perfect and then failing.”

 

Debra Wanger

 

Episode 120 talks to Debra Wanger, an actor, singer, and certified wellness coach. Debra grew up in Chicago and has been acting since she was nine years old. She worked as a professional actor for a long time. When she was working she was happy, but when she wasn’t working she was unhappy, depressed, and moody. She was not in a good place, so she set off on a journey and learned a ton about business, and ended up getting certified as a health coach.

 

She started coaching other actors on how to stay sane and healthy in the business. That led to a few books, coaching and speaking, and working with universities and students on how to be in a creative career and not get sucked into the pitfalls of being unhappy, unhealthy, and miserable. Today she works with a lot of entrepreneurs and people of all walks and helps them to navigate through this crazy time of life, which she calls the “Corona Coaster.”

 

“It’s a great time for us to refocus on the things that are most important and it is almost giving us permission to really recreate ourselves.” - Brooke Elder.

 

It’s good to purge your life of things that aren’t serving you anymore like habits and daily practices. Figure out what you need to do each day to make progress. If you figure out what your goals are, then break it down into steps. What do you need to do each day to get closer to the goal? What are the benchmarks, yearly, quarterly, monthly, and daily to get to that point?

 

Another goal is self-care, that kind of daily habit to keep you having good energy, a good mindset, and being able to do all those things that you need to do. Self-care includes sleep, hydration, stress management, exercise, fun, and social connection.

 

When you start taking care of yourself you start being okay with who you are and yes, you have flaws, but that’s fine because that’s what makes you who you are.

 

With all of the uncertainty in the world right now it is important to prioritize stress management. Meditation is a great way to do this. Your brain has thoughts just like your heart beats blood, the brain makes thoughts. So meditation is not about stopping all thoughts in your brain, it’s about slowing your thoughts and taking little pauses between thoughts. Meditation doesn’t have to be an hour on a soft cushion in a perfect room, it can be just sitting in a chair and closing your eyes and breathing for a minute to take a pause.

 

Anything you can do to help yourself feel safe in this time of uncertainty is so important. The other kinds of stress management are taking a hot bath or exchanging foot rubs with somebody. It doesn’t have to be expensive, or even outside of your home, just call a friend and download all of those feelings that are coming up and stay socially connected.

 

“Do what you can do, you don’t need to change your whole entire universe.” - Debra Wanger. 

 

You don’t need to fix everything right away, right now. Do what you can and be happy with that. Then if you can do more, awesome. Expect yourself to be good, then you can hit that. You can hit the mark. If you would like to find more information about Debra’s books, podcasts, and speaking engagements go to debrawanger.com. Her book, “The Resilient Actor” is available on Amazon and Audible.

Is your Leader REALLY Navigating you to the right destination?

 

“Most leaders in network marketing don’t have a clear path”

 

Brooke Elder

 

In episode 119 Brooke tells the story of two men who lead individual teams to be the first ones to reach the South Pole in 1911.  Both teams reached the South Pole, but one team was successful and the other had tragic results. 

 

The difference between the two groups was the leadership skills of their leaders. One leader had studied and done research on how to survive and navigate the harsh environment and conditions in the South Pole. He came up with a strategic plan and followed that plan without variations. The other leader thought he had everything planned and in place, but there were a lot of things that he missed and he was not prepared.

 

“We have to be the leaders in order to support our team and show them that we know the way.” - Brooke Elder.

 

Look at the kind of leaders that you have in your life. They say, ‘this is how I got to the top. Message friends you already have influenced.’’ But they already had a big network of people to talk to. When you have that big network of people to talk to it’s really, really easy to grow a network marketing business. On the other hand, you may not have that network built yet. So for your leader it is easy to say, look, just do what I do, but that’s not very strategic.

 

Most leaders in network marketing do not have a step-by-step plan. They think that it’s making lists of a hundred and reaching out to 20 people a day. You don’t have to be spammy in order to reach your goals!!!

 

You have to have a very set strategy, something that is researched, something that is tested, and apply that to your goal of success. That is what Social Tenacity provides.

 

Social Tenacity has so many different markets that they can test things in. So it doesn’t matter if you’re with jewelry or health or wellness or you’re with candles or in finance. It doesn’t matter. They take what works and put it into a very step-by-step strategic system to show you, this is what you can get as your outcome. That’s their whole goal, to look at the things that will help you in order to build your business.

 

At the beginning of 2020, before everything closed down, there was a big push for getting back to the basics - get back to face-to-face interaction. Then the world closed down and it was a huge pivot to go from face-to-face to how can we now do this online? This whole year, Social Tenacity is coming out with so many ways that you can take the things that they teach and you can help your team be successful.

 

“The way we do business, the way we do our network marketing company has changed forever.” - Brooke Elder. 

 

You have to be the leader that has the plan. Social Tenacity has launched the Academy. It’s a brand new step-by-step game plan that walks you through, do this, do this, do this and this is the outcome. It will teach you exactly the things that you need to do to be successful and how to lead your team strategically. If you are interested in finding out more about the Academy, go to socialtenacitytraining.com.

Growing a Business with young kids is possible

 

“Let  your kids be part of your business... let them see you reaching towards your goals .”

 

Cari Higham

 

Cari Higham and her husband have built a  business that brings in a multiple six-figure income. They also stay-at-home parents raising their three small children.

 

Cari is from a teeny town in the middle of Utah. She and her husband both found themselves losing everything, their jobs, and eventually their house. Someone that they knew introduced them to network marketing and they realized that they could actually create a life of freedom for their family. They moved into her parent’s basement and started talking to friends and family, but after six months they had no recruits, no customers, and no distributors.

 

“It wasn’t until we actually invested in ourselves, found a mentor, and started learning some skill sets that we actually started getting results.” - Cari Higham.

 

Finding someone to show you how to build a business is a mindset shift that a lot of network marketers never make because they think that whatever their company is telling them to do is that they should do. It’s amazing when you find other mentors, especially when they are mentors in different industries, you learn the skill sets that actually create results.

 

Finding a mentor changes your mindset. It really just comes down to making a decision and making a choice in your brain that you’re going all out. You’re going to bet on yourself and literally, you can change your life with that.

 

Just because you’re putting the focus on your business, doesn’t make you a bad mom. And just because you take your focus and put it into your kids, doesn’t make you a bad business owner.

 

It’s important to be a time blocker. Having a calendar to schedule your family activities and events along with your business meetings and obligations makes it easier to stay organized and focused. The biggest thing is not allowing yourself to feel guilty for building your business. 

 

Don’t feel like you can’t have your kids be a part of your business. Having them run in and out of a Facebook live, if you need to bounce your toddler on your knees to keep her happy while you do a live, it’s okay. It’s actually a good thing for your business because people relate to that and they feel like they can do it too. 

“When you’re trying to bring in people, the more real you are, the better it’s going to be.” - Cari Higham. 

 

Let your kids be part of your business. They will grow up thinking so differently because their parents are entrepreneurs. There won’t be a limit to what they can do. Cari does trainings three times a week on Facebook and is always offering different things for people to help grow their business.
