Peak Performance Habits - Jackie Ulmer

My favorite F words is something I LOVE and have FUN with and find Fabulous. It's fantastic when I can find the fun in all of life. And, when I relax into fun, I let go of Fear and that is pure freedom.

So, we will explore some of my favorite F words, on Friday's, one of my favorite days of the week, and see if we might find some features about it that fit with you!

Today's F word is my #1 value word - FUN!

If it's not fun, I'm not doing it.

But, I didn't start out that way in my business.

Have fun in the journey! What the WHAT, seriously. I'll have fun when I'm making money.

I began to get it though. Relax, let go of the tight grip, have fun along the way. Enjoy the process, enjoy the people - ALL of them.

Enjoy your growth; your success and your "failures" reframe failure. Find the fun even in the failures. Build a story worth re-living, loving and sharing.

Give your business the fun factor test - Share the fun on Social Media. That gets way more engagement than your "poor me" give me sympathy posts.

Have fun offline - enjoy meeting new people and FINDING out the facts about them. Find them on Facebook and other social media sites and forge a more powerful connection.

Fit them into your daily plan and truly focus on caring for them.

Fantastic fortunes will be-fall you i so many ways. Finances, another favorite F word, will follow you along the path.

I'm Jackie Ulmer, wishing you a fun, fabulous, Friday or whatever day it is you find this - know that it was meant to find you right now. The future is full, friendly and fanatical about you!

What? Facebook is shutting down it's Friends Lists, or Feeds? Yep, that's the rumor. Mine are already gone on my iPhone but still are on my desktop site.

And, what's the reason?

Is it Ad Revenue Loss when Facebook can't show you ads based on their specific algorithm that's stored for you?

You know you've been pixeled and re-targeted very often, but when you mess with the feed they want to show you, you mess with their ability to generate revenues!

Do they want to return Facebook back to the days of "Puppy Dogs, Family and Friends" sharing feel good stuff?

Well, maybe, if they can get an ad in edgeways, they do!

Let's face it - Facebook knows more about us than possibly we know about ourselves. They are a stats and demographics generating MACHINE!

We've all turned quite a bit of info over to them over the years in terms of our likes, interests and who we engage with.

And, based on that, they have a profile on you. They return ads to you based on that "profile."

Yikes. And right now, while a lot of distrust is out there regarding Facebook and privacy issues, do we really want them having more?

Be smart on Social, Always!

Build your hub of the universe (blog and list) and never rely on a platform you don't own (remember MySpace) to be your business hub.

Build your Center of Influence and nurture and cultivate those relationships. Take it offline. Send personal cards and notes.

Use the local search bar to grow your friends to those you can meet locally and invite to workshops, networking events, coffee and so on.

Use video, take selfies and give people what they want to see in you! They will become interested when you do it right!

Welcome to a Monday Mojo Experience - and today, we are focused on Motivation.

You are what you think you are. Let that sink in. Do you demand and command respect from others. Do you feel you are worthy of it? Do you THINK you are important?

This experience is Brought to you by StreetSmartWealth.com where we teach you how to say YES to more of everything in life and business. Everything you need and use to build the successful business you want is a tool you already have - it's YOU. Let us show you how to monetize that!

See you on the next show!

Did you catch last week's experience, as I interviewed the Consistency Chain Authors? Boy, if you haven't be sure to listen in and take notes, and then consider where you are in the mix of consistency.

What are you working on in your business? What's on your calendar? I have Social Media and Why They Buy/Why They Say Yes workshops in Phoenix/Scottsdale and Nashville to finish off the year, and am open to coming to YOUR city, so let's talk if you are interested.

JackieUlmer.com and click contact or book a consult call - jackieulmer.com/calendar

While I am considered a 20%er today, reading he book; interviewing the authors and re-listening to the podcast, as well as sharing it with my own team and clients has really caused me to do some deep reflection on consistency, and where I have succeeded and fallen short in my business.

My reflection has led me back to the realization and confirmation that what it takes to be successful is just committing to the act of being consistent.

So when I say "YOU" in this experience, know that I am talking about myself, too.

It's not massive action; the perfect script or the "right" people that make a business successful.

It's YOU and me; and the action steps that we take day in and day out.

If you've followed me for any length of time, you may be familiar with my Favorite F words branding.

This came from attending a Brendon Burchard Expert's Academy Event.

I use these F words to measure things that matter in my life -

F Word Friday

Faith, Family and Friends, Fitness, Finance, FUN

Fun is truly my top value. If it's not fun, I'm not doing it.

So, when I started reflecting on my consistency, I used these words to rate myself.

Fun - yes, plenty, especially this summer as I shared at the beginning.

Faith - yes, I feel I have been pretty consistent there too.

Fitness - I have had some goals, and one is 10,000 steps as a daily average for the year. I'm currently at 8800, so I am picking my pace up to finish strong. That's about 4 miles a day. I've been on the Plant Paradox/Paleo/Keto type of food regimen for a while, and I could use more focus and discipline.

Family and Friends - check check

Which brings me to finance and while it's not bad, I look at my goals and my vision for my business and realize I am not really where I want to be, and I now know the reason WHY -

CONSISTENCY - the last 5 years has had me a bit all over the map in terms of true focus.

Multi passionate Entrepreneur

Coaching, Social Media Training and Workshops Direct Sales

Which website - my brand

Speaking training Masterminds

I have had so many people ask - What is it you do, exactly? And I always laugh, and struggle a little to tell them

At the end of the day - I am a business and Social Media Coach, Trainer, Mentor and Strategist. But, which word is the best?

Have you come up with your own title? Do you have your elevator pitch or infomercial down?

More on that in a future podcast.

So, let's get into consistency. and, what that looks like for success.

I've said before - Success is Sexy; the steps to get there are often not.

You have to get really clear about what your business is; what you offer, and the steps you must take to get it out there and make sales or close deals.

People have often expressed a desire to come spend a day with me. And I always assure them they would be bored.

And, yet, for some, the lightbulb moment would occur when they realize there is nothing special of fancy about what I do.

With Social Media, it has all been about consistency -

First the site/blog; a weekly article; posting in forums; commenting and answering questions. Being real, authentic and showing interest and caring.

Get your own agenda out of the way.

Become a story teller. I'll be sharing a lot more on this in a coming podcast.

When my business thrives, I can look back in my calendar and in my Social Media activity and see one common thread - consistency.

When my business has floundered, I can look back in my calendar and in my social media activity and see one common thread - lack of consistency.

For most of us, in our solopreneur business, we need to be doing a few things ongoing -

Finding people to add to our database. This means more than just plopping in names. It means meeting, engaging, building rapport and the start of a relationship; connecting on Social Media and expanding the relationship.

Learning as much as I can about them; learning how I might be supportive and then opening the door to share my business and product offerings.

Not just for them, but also for anyone they may feel comfortable referring my way.

IT's about building that really solid Top 100 COI. It's follow up; and follow through; adding value in person, through direct mail; through Social Media and in ways that matter to them and make them feel special; appreciated; like more than a number.

So I've come up with my own acronym for how I run my business and what's important in it -

BAMF - check the urban dictionary for another definition. I might start using the hashtag, just saying

Branding

Audience

Marketing

Follow Up

So, each day and each week I have to look at what I'm doing in each of these areas to be successful.

What areas have you defined for your business?

Here are some steps to take to be more consistent -

Get clear. Get focused. And, by that, I mean even on TODAY.

Today. Write down something you can do each day to move your business forward. Just one thing. And, make a commitment to do it TODAY

It's about letting go of tomorrow and focusing ONLY on today and the top priority for you today, in your business.

IT's about building that consistency chain and being committed to not breaking it.

Get a calendar and each day that you take that one action, write it on the calendar and begin to build that consistency chain for yourself.

The most powerful thing I ever did for my business when I was struggling to get from zero to hero as to hire a coach. Someone who has been where I was, and has gone to where I want to go.

I would love to explore a coaching partnership with you, if you are struggling. Let's schedule a 20 minute discovery call to see if we might be a fit.

I love taking those with goals like mine from struggle to six figures, easily, and with joy in building something they love and that resonates with who they are and their values.

On today's show, I am interviewing the authors of the new book - The Consistency Chain - The Missing Link for Success in Network Marketing, George Campbell and Jim Packard.

We are going to dive deep into Consistency and, honestly, it's the missing link in so much of what we do - life, relationships; business; health and fitness.

We are going to talk about the 80/20 Pareto Principle and how we are wired one of 2 ways - the 80% and the 20%.

And, being an 80% and not having consistency doesn't mean you lack ambition, education or anything else. You just are wired differently.

Learn more about The Consistency Chain here!

Here are some specific things to listen for in the show -

The 80/20 rule

How the 20% can better work with the 80%

The Navy Seals - I just need to make it to breakfast!

"Smart Goals" vs ER Goals

Motivation vs Momentum

The Chain and the Desire NOT to break the chain

3 Days and the power behind that

The Marshmallow Test

I've known Jim Packard for years and he has the midas touch. He succeeds at everything he does, but even in Network Marketing, he was not able to "change" the wiring of those who are not the "20%' in how group.

Nothing wrong with him, or those on the team. It's really about understanding and re-wiring how you think; act; and plan!

Your Business Development Action Plan As I mentioned on the last two shows, I recently ran a survey to see what your most challenging things are in your business. And, the number one thing was having a business action plan so that you have a roadmap in place of what to do each day. Success is sexy, the system to build the business is not always sexy! We struggle with figuring out what that daily plan of action should be to move us forward. Every business, whether it's Direct Sales and Network Marketing, Real Estate, Party Plan, Insurance, coaching or ANY business needs - clients and customers, leads and prospects, referral partners and ambassadors! We most all start with our warm market and let them know we have started a business. We let them know about our products, our services and even our business opportunity if we are in a network marketing business. We want to use good success language when we contact and notify those we know. http://StreetSmartNetworker.com gets into the specifics of how to build your database and notify people of what you do. Develop that solid "elevator pitch" and good success language to entice others to want to know more. Avoid the tendency to just talk at people. Here are some steps to take - Take a Personal Inventory and know your hobbies, interests, likes, passions, products. Do a SWOT Analysis - what are your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats? Then, develop your system and plan to contact your database and stay top of mind. Develop your follow up plan - I call this the F word in business. Most business people fail at follow up. What is your plan to expand your database on a daily and weekly basis? There are offline and online ways to do this. Offline - there is lifestyling such as kids events; church. any extra curricular activities. Online, we have Social Media, Search, Content and paid advertising. Focus on really building and developing that Core Center of Influence. Online, develop a content plan and strategy. Pick a theme for each month and then break that down by week. This will help you with what you will share on Facebook; Facebook Live; YouTube Videos; Instagram; Blog posts and more. Avoid the tendency to take a "spray and pray" approach to your business. Instead be VERY intentional with what you share.

I would love to publicly acknowledge you, too, for your support.

How and Why to Use Social Media

Let's cover some key points on how and why to use social media and what it takes, to make it REALLY work for you.

We'll start with the HOW to use Social Media.

Step 1 - Create GREAT content. Doesn't matter what the content. Image quotes; blog posts; videos; asking questions - make it great, engaging and something your audience really gets value of some kind from. Even jokes! Think of who your "One Person" is? Who is your target audience and what appeals to that person? Start there.

My Story. WAHM, Direct Sales, Real Estate.

Step 2 - Build Your Fan Base or Community. This takes time, intention and focus. And, it takes consistency. Make it a two way street and be engaged with others in your similar community.

Step 3 - Become known as that person who is "everywhere." Yes, be everywhere. Now, I know I coach on picking one, maybe two social platforms to master, and then moving to others, and there is a lot you can do on more than two to get started and begin building community.

Instagram for instance. If you are already posting image quotes on Facebook, also post them on Instagram and spend a quick sec on some keywords you'll use on Instagram.

If you are doing Facebook live or other video, add it to a YouTube channel as well, with some good keywords.

Step 4 - Help Your Stuff Get Shared - this is also called going viral, or rather it's the first step in the process. How do you get your stuff shared? Start by sharing the content of others in your niche, who will take notice and may share yours in return. Develop a few key loyal tribe members and ask them to share, and reciprocate.

Step 5 - Track and document what works. Pay close attention to what gets shared and what goes unnoticed and pay attention and work to repeat what works. It takes some time, and you will see a pattern.

Okay, so let's talk about the WHY to use Social Media.

Honestly there is no greater tool to leverage your time, geographic reach and efforts than Social Media.

It's been nearly 18 years that I have been online, generating leads and income daily.

It allowed me to toss my advertising and paid leads list; stop hanging out in coffee shops waiting to be no-showed by my prospect; stop spending hours at weekly meetings; and, it allowed me to have my business out in front of big numbers of people without even needing to be physically present.

It doesn't matter if the kids are home sick, or you just broke out in hives. You can take daily action in your business using social media. IT is a no excuses approach!

So, how do you make Social Media work for you?

I'm glad you asked….

MUSIC

First step, take an inventory of your social media presence and look at it objectively, from the eyes of a prospect.

What works and what doesn't? Can someone easily tell what you do? Are you over salesy? Would they possibly run?

Layout a marketing plan for social media. What platforms, what content, what days.

You likely won't get it right the first time. It takes some tweaking . And, you will find your path.

If I were starting today, here is what I would do.

I would reach out to all of my current social media contacts, and I would go to every networking event that I could find. I would meet, provide value and connect on Social Media. I would work my butt of getting engaged and beginning to know these people. BUILD Relationships.

And, if you desire assistance, let's talk about some coaching to set up your plan, including success language, social media and follow up.

I have taken my 20 plus years of networking online and offline for success and created a training program to teach YOU how to create an endless stream of leads, prospects, sign ups and referral partners for your business.

A lot of people GO to networking events. But few know how to monetize them. Now, you can be one of those few.

Had a great conversation about Networking events with my interior designer, who hates networking events. Listen in as I share how that mindset of "Networking events don't work" is a flawed thought process.

They DO work. Like crazy. I've been to networking events where over half the people there are in some type of Network Marketing company.

A lot has been going on around here lately and I am AMAZED at the show growth now that it is back in iTunes and has 300 episodes available to listen to on demand!

I'm going to be recycling some of my past shows, that are no longer archived there for Throwback Thursday. Stay tuned.

The Right Actions For Success

It doesn't matter what business you are in, ACTION is a required part of the success equation.

Your actions will determine your level of success, day in and day out.

Using this week's Mantra - My Actions Create my Prosperity - begin to get clear on what those action steps will be.

Success is built around leads and referrals, that convert to actual prospects, who we then guide down the path to educating them about us, our business, our services and what doing business together will mean.

How do we begin the process to get those leads?

I have a coaching client who I am working through this process right now.

She's fairly new with her company and has a desire to go quickly, and she works a full time job.

So, we have laid out a business action plan of what she will do each day.

We have written out her scripts and success language, so she knows what to say each step of the way, including how she will answer the most common questions and objections.

And, we developed a rewards and accountability system for herself, as well as her family, so she is motivated to stay on track and accountability to those who she is building her business for.

Because she has limited time, we looked for small pockets of time throughout her day and week and planned exact steps so that at the end of the day, she feels accomplished and knows she has given her best to her business.

Before we worked through all of this, she was feeling stuck, and not at all in action because she was having a challenge finding blocks of time to work her business.

So, it was an all or nothing approach. If she had a busy day, and didn't have an hour at night to work on her business, she was defaulting to doing nothing.

Now, she is on a system for success and knows what to do throughout her day. At this point, her true commitment is kicking in because she no longer has any question about what to do to work the business.

The only question becomes whether she will take the action; whether she will make excuses or make progress in her business.

A business never just builds itself. And, even with online tools, systems and attraction marketing, there are still required things that must be done.

What are the right actions for success in your business?

I have another client, who is in real estate. She's been active for about 2 years, and, like many of my clients, she is a mom of busy, active children.

Join the club! We all are busy. That's my least favorite thing to ever hear from someone.

I'm busy. I've been busy,

We all have the same 24 hours in a day. And, where we spend our time is what our priority is.

Sometimes that's tough to hear, for me, too.

So, back to my Real Estate agent client.

We are laying out her social media plan, and working to develop her top 250 list. Those who will use, refer and promote her.

We all have one of those. Or, we require to if we really want to be successful.

We have put together a 52 week strategy for her, online and offline, and she is busy and in action.

She meets 2 people per week for coffee or lunch, just to catch up and reconnect. They go into a database so she can track and keep track of this list and where she is along the way.

This is not a connection per meetup to specifically talk about business, but as often happens, business and careers come up.

We've developed success language so she is clear on what to say to get her business out there, without being or feeling like she is selling.

She has a clear, defined follow up plan so she stays top of mind, and her social media marketing plan assists with this as well.

So, what will it take for you to define the right actions for success in your own business? I'm glad you asked….

Steps to define your action plan. Write this down.

What is required for success?

What time do you have?

Where are you currently struggling?

What will it take to move beyond that?

Now, act as if you have put the struggle behind you. Write out that action plan based on the first two questions.

And, if you desire assistance, let's talk about some coaching to set up your plan, including success language, social media and follow up.
