Rather than make a living… decide to design a lifeClick To Tweet

 

 

When you first make the decision to actively build the life you want, it is important that you understand the seven (7) steps involved within the growth process.  I like to explain this process using the law of sowing and reaping.

You will reap, what you sow

 

Your sowing is directly responsible for what you’re reaping.  This tells you that paying attention to the seed you’re sowing is very important. The first thing I recommend is to get a vision of the future you want.  What kind of life do you want to live?  Let’s cover each of the 7 Steps to Building the Life You Want.

 

1)  Decide what you want

 

2)  Get the Seed for what you want and Sow It in your mind

 

3)  Believe you can have what you want.

 

4)  See yourself in possession of what you want

 

5) Become the person who has the life you want to have

 

6) Perform the behavior of the person who has the life you want

 

7) Receive the life you want daily

My Life Governing Values

 

In today’s post, I speak my life governing values.  The values that govern my everyday life allows me to live a focused lifestyle.

My life governing values are the standards I set for my life.  They help me to live a more balanced life.

I first learned about the importance of establishing a set of life governing values in 2004.

After reading a book by Hyrum W. Smith, 10 Natural Laws of Successful Time and Life Management, I decided to follow his instructions and create my very own life governing values.  Since then I’ve updated them based on how my values have changed over the years.

Listen in below…

What are some of your life governing values?

Avoid Hiding Behind Your Computer Screen

Be the real-life spokesperson for your brand.  Set up personal meetings with people in your industry.

Face-to-Face communication will serve as more valuable for your brand than any Facebook chat or Twitter conversation.  Company events offer a great opportunity to extend and strengthen your online brand by building relationships in person with like-minded individuals in your industry.

Brand Where You Want To Go NOT Where You Already Been

Show your expertise in the areas you want to be known for.Click To Tweet

Become vocal about where you want to go in your industry.  Speak about the opportunities you’re seeking and the people you want to connect with.

Talk about experiences you’ve had that relates to where you want to go.  Show your expertise in the areas you want to be known for.

Otherwise, you risk building a misunderstood and misguided brand.  Brand Your Future. Brand Your Vision.  Or you’ll get more of what you’ve already gotten instead of what you actually want.

 

What do you want to be known for in the home-based business industry?

When in Doubt, Share Value

…focus on solving problems for others.Click To Tweet

If you are ever at a loss for words or direction, focus on solving problems.  This may include someone else’s material you’ve found.  If it offers value to  your audience, don’t hesitate to share it.

Pass along opportunities that you think your audience would appreciate, and point people towards helpful resources.

Friends and followers will quickly identify you as someone who always has something of  value to offer.

 

What problems are you solving for your target audience?

Reach the Social Media Sweet Spot

…avoid offering too much information or risk ruining your sales presentations.Click To Tweet

There is a fine line between that perfect mix of spices and being too salty if you follow what I’m saying.

In other words, in your marketing efforts mix your accomplishments and personal interests, plus a dash of your sizzling personality but avoid offering too much information.

TMI (too much information) can ruin a presentation.  Promote your brand in bite-size pieces.

 

How do you remain in your social media sweet spot?
