You're Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 304. It's Monday, and so our Mantra for today, before we get into some business is - I choose to welcome success into my life.

I'm excited to share with you that http://StreetSmartNetworker.com is now live. 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. And, I have a HUGE favor to ask you - would you share this show with another? Maybe one other person, or post it on your Facebook wall, or business page? Send out a tweet? Share it on instagram? Growing the show is huge in getting the word out there to others about what success is and how they can have success. Tag me in your Facebook post, or your tweet - @jackieulmer I would love to publicly acknowledge you, too, for your support. Also, join me over on my Facebook page for the Millionaire System series. I'm going through the 1 Minute Millionaire book and taking some concepts from it for you. It's more than just money! Choosing Success in Your Business I choose to welcome success into my life. That's our Monday Mantra and our mantra for the week. Say it, write it down, post it on Post It Notes and also repeat - I am choosing success in my business. Let's talk a little bit about the power, and the fallacy in mantras and then I want to share some thoughts on what it means to be choosing success in your business. Mantras - they are talked about quite a bit, and they are powerful for a few things - Keeping you focused on where you are headed and where you want to be, instead of staying stuck in one spot. They are positive, they are uplifting and they can be a catalyst for shifting you to where you want to be. The fallacy of mantras is when one just blindly recites them, expecting THAT one act to make the change. It's so much more than that. It's FEELING your way to the success you want. It's thinking about the mantra and the words you speak and feeling as if it were already true. Remember, the mind does not differentiate between what is real and imagined, UNLESS, you are blindly reciting something that you don't feel at all aligned with. So, practice these mantras and do so in a way that allows you to feel what you are saying and where you want to be. Okay, so now that we are clear on that, let's talk about Choosing Success in Your Business. What does that look and feel like for you? Success - it's an interesting word and it means different things to different people. For most, it starts with that feeling of monetary success. Of starting something and taking the action necessary to create income; to create clients; referrals; team members; SALES. I was recently interviewed by John Milton Fogg, also known as the Greatest Networker in the World, for a group of Russian entrepreneurs. And, he asked me a question - what's been the best thing for you about success in Direct Sales and your Home Business, and for me, with Social Media. And, my answer is simple - The money of course, was why I started. I wanted to create a better life for my children, my family and myself. I wanted to travel and enjoy life, and not feel the struggle. And, I achieved that. And, it's been great. Beyond all of that, however, it's the knowledge that I DID IT. That I accomplished my goal. That I did more than just talk about it - I did it. Along the way, I met amazing people and they are part of that success story. They ARE the success story. No matter what ever happens, I OWN that story. What's your story? What's your story now, and the story you are passionate about creating? How focused are you on achieving that success and that story? How committed are you to achieving that success and that story? How do you FEEL about achieving that success and that story? How do you feel if you do NOT achieve that success and that story? How would you feel about being that top producing Real Estate agent in your office? Or the top recruiter and team builder in your Network Marketing company? How would you like being the top new comer in your insurance company? Do you know how simple it is to grow your own successful business? It's starts with just a decision, and then a little plan. I am coaching a new real estate agent right now, and we are working through her fears first. We are moving her past herself and building her up to become the Go To person in her neighborhood, in her niche and on a national and worldwide basis. Imagine the referrals she can get from others outside of her area just by bonding through Social Media. Social media is not a fad, and it is not a mystery. IT's a systematic process of authenticity, starting conversations, sharing value and building relationships. It's been my passion and made me a fortune for the last 18 years, almost. 18 in October.

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

Cleaning Up Your Facebook Profile

It's easy to lose sight of the important things that matter on Facebook when your goal is to use it as a tool to grow your business; create brand awareness and an interest in you and potentially doing business together or referring you.

If you are like me, you set up your Facebook profile many years ago and may not have updated some key pieces that are important as you use it as a business calling card.

And, please do note that your Facebook Profile page is more valuable than your business card. IT's one of the first places people will look to begin to research you, and learn more about you.

Here are some simple steps to take right now to begin cleaning up your Facebook Profile -

Take a good look at your profile picture. Does it represent you, your business and your brand the way you desire it to, in order to be an effective tool for you in business. IT should be clear, well lit, you and your face, and no one and nothing else.

Not your family, your friends, your dog, favorite pet, a product photo or a company logo.

Just you - it's Facebook.

Next, take a look at your cover photo and I recommend looking at it on your smartphone as well as your computer, to make sure it looks correct on both.

What does it state about you, your business and your brand? It's fine to change it out with holidays, special events and life's happenings. Ideally, have one that shares an overall view of you, as a person and a business owner, and use this one most often.

Now, scroll down your left sidebar and pay attention to your Intro - what does it say? Is it enticing to inspire others to click to your About section? If not, spend some time sprucing it up!

Is the rest of the info on that left sidebar current?

Employment and Career Details? If possible, make sure you have it linked to YOUR business page. Click any highlighted links and make sure they are not dead ends, going to a page that doesn't really exist.

I often see people with links to Home Business Owner or something random that highlights and is clickable, but takes one no where.

Also, make sure you are not linking to a company page that does not benefit YOU. This is especially true for my Real Estate and Direct Sales friends. Insurance agents may also want to explore this.

Click on your About section and this is where you are able to go in and clean anything up that requires an update.

Old Direct Sales companies or anything from the past that does not serve you is something you'll want to delete.

People don't have a ton of time to spend, so make your most current, relevant stuff pop and intrigue them.

Head on down through this page and you'll see all kinds of stuff pop up that you may not have realized was linked in there, including Music, Movies, Books, Sports, and toward the bottom, you will find all of the Pages you have "Liked" over time. Do you still want to continue liking all of these? Now is the time to clean this up.

Right click and open each page in a new tab in a new window and decide of you want to stay or go. I took mine from 229 to 147 just as I was working on this show!

Ok, that's enough homework for today. We'll work on some other Social Media Strategies over time, and since Facebook is the grand daddy of them all, it's a solid starting point!

Now, you are ready to get over to Facebook and begin cleaning up your Facebook Profile!

You're Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 302. Our Monday Mantra - I trust my gut and I follow my heart. I'll be sharing why this is so true in business and a little of my story in taking my Direct Sales Business online, the naysayers and how Social Media is a tool for anyone.

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. Trust Your Gut in Building Your Solopreneur Business Have you ever had that absolute sense of knowing that you are on to something SOLID? And your gut is telling you that you are good to go, and to go for it? Did you feel that way when you started to build your own business? Maybe it's in Direct Sales, or Real Estate? Maybe some told you that you were crazy, and to get your head out of the clouds? Or that it would never work? I had plenty of people tell me that when I decided to build my Network Marketing business online. I began building a Direct Sales home business (offline) in 1994, and in 1999, I took my business to the Internet. I was an average home based business owner (a mom with two pre-school aged children, a husband gone half the month and a huge desire for more, ha!) before the Internet. I was not setting any records. I had success and did make money, but much of it was a struggle; much of it consisted of ways of doing the business that did not appeal to me. I made my warm market list; contacted people and developed the skills I needed to talk to people about my business. I joined networking groups, the Chamber of Commerce and did all of the traditional methods you hear about. I struggled with contacting people in the beginning, and never wanted to be someone who chased my friends, family, neighbors and anyone who came within "3 feet of me!" Heard that story before? I was just a stay-at-home mom who wanted to create something more for my family and future. I didn't want my husband to have the stress of supporting a family of 4 on one income. I didn't want to leaf through travel magazines and wish we could travel, too. That was it! I was greener than green. Here are words and concepts I knew nothing about - URL – had no idea what that term meant. Domain name – See above. Auto responder – that sounded WAY too techie to even think about. Even lead capture or splash page. Search Engine, Optimize, Pay Per Click – all foreign terms. Social Media Marketing – that term didn't even exist!!! Here is what I did know – The facts and figures associated with this growing phenomenon called The Internet was/is staggering. I wanted to be a part of it. I knew it was the answer to my prayers for growing a successful business. I knew this was going to be my ticket to success in MLM. I knew that it was going to take some effort, and it would be the best decision I would ever make. I knew this was how a stay-at-home mom with small children was going to make Network Marketing work! I was sold. And, there was no turning back for me. I rolled up my sleeves and got busy. Here's what happened – it exceeded my wildest expectations. It created exactly what I wanted in a business from home and in Network Marketing, Information and Affiliate Marketing. 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. Pinch me! It was a dream come true, and quite honestly, I'm still lost in the dream! Except, it is really happening. Today, I am hired to coach and train not only those in Direct Sales, but also Real Estate Agents, Mortgage Lenders, Solopreneurs, and many others. Because like I knew nearly 18 years ago that my audience was going to the internet looking for answers, they know THEIR audience is there, too! Old School methods will always work. And, never bury your head in the sand to new school techniques either. That's why it's always important to trust your gut in Building Your Solopreneur Business I LOVE and appreciate reviews!

I've been to networking events where over half the people there are in some type of Network Marketing company. Staying Flexible Building Your Solopreneur Business What a wild few weeks it has been. Have you missed me (GRIN!) Let's start with writing down our Monday Mantra - I stay focused on my true desire. I have really been tested around this topic lately, which makes this Mantra so fitting. First - iTunes and the Podcast. I have had some major website challenges with "instability" and iTunes kicked me out of the store this past week, after my "RSS Feed" for my podcast began going up and down. Techie stuff is NOT my strength or forte, and I am still in the process of getting it fixed. And, I WILL get it fixed. I had a choice when it happened. Freak out; fall into a deep pit of despair, since it is a major source of leads and traffic, or take a deep breath, repeat the mantra and remember that above all, I am on track with the topic - Staying Flexible Building Your Solopreneur Business!" People quit, people say no, websites go up and down. Shizzle happens! How we react controls everything. I am fully focused on my end goal and true desire, so I am not going to get frazzled by the little things that are fixable. Have you read Rich Dad, Poor Dad or Cashflow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki? I read these in 1998 ish and they changed my whole perspective on what I am building. I am building a business asset for the long haul. Are you? When you know what you love, desire and are working toward, it's easy to push through the little challenging obstacles and just keep going!! You just have tunnel vision when you have a goal. Keep going, no matter what. As I mention on the show, I have some shifts going on in my business. I would love to discuss these with you if you are open and looking. http://WorkWithJackie.com - and let's have a conversation!

You're Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 300. I've heard it said that there are really only two emotions - Love and Fear. Everything else falls under one of these two emotions. If you think about it, it makes sense. If you aren't moving forward in your Network Marketing business, it could be due to fear. Is Fear Holding You Back in Your Direct Sales Business? This week's Mantra is - Between Love and Fear, I choose Love. Need some coaching to move you forward? My one on one and inner circle programs are LIVE!

I've bene to networking events where over half the people there are in some type of Network Marketing company. Is Fear Holding You Back in Your Direct Sales Business Between Love and Fear, I choose Love. Think about emotions and the concept of just two - Love and Fear. When we are having success, it is wrapped up in excitement, joy, enthusiasm, feeling good. All of these ways of describing it fall under the emotional umbrella of Love. Kind of makes sense, doesn't it? When we are not having success, we can usually point to fear, procrastination, frustration, anger, feelings of inadequacy and more. And, we can get caught up in envy, resentment, jealousy, even. These are all wrapped under the emotional umbrella of fear. We procrastinate out of fear. We feel frustrated because we are having fear, that is holding us back from taking those steps. We do two things - and both involve connecting with another human being to see if they might be interested or know someone who is. Think about that. When you break it down to its simplicity, you could talk to people literally all day. Pick any shopping mall and get busy. But, we seldom do that. And why? We have fear. What will they say? What will they think? If you learn the right skill sets though, we don't ever have to worry about that. We know what to say to build rapport. With anyone, anywhere. We know how to share what we do and ask for referrals, if they are not interested. We know how to follow up and stay consistent with that. And, ideally we do all of that from a feeling of love, and excitement, and joy at what effect this might have on the person to whom we are speaking. Fear, though is about Ego, and we are ego based when our main thought is about ourselves. When you make your list and begin to contact those on the list to share your excitement about your products and the business, are you choosing to share with love? Before each contact, simply say - Between Love and Fear, I choose Love. Fear is normal, natural and there is probably not a person on the planet who will say they have not had fear at some point in their business. Fear is a constant for many of us. Courage is not the absence of fear, but the desire for something greater and therefore a willingness to push through fear. I did not say get over fear. I said push past it. What steps will you take to push through your fear. To land on the other side where all great things are? Is Fear Holding You Back in Your Direct Sales Business? Maybe at one time, but no more!

Check the podcast archives on the blog at JackieUlmer.com for previous episodes if you missed any or are new to the show. Attraction Marketing Online and Offline For Your Direct Sales Business Being an entrepreneur is a unique gig. It is not always 8-5, and people sometimes ask me in a negative way why I might work on weekends. I find it interesting that the days of the week one works would determine one's success? If you know how to network offline, you'll naturally know how to network online and not be a spammer and turn everyone off. It's not an advertising platform, by any means. My Story before the Internet. I already had nearly 6 years and a team of 10,000 going on before I went online. I had joined the Tempe Chamber of Commerce and was an Ambassador and was in front of people on a regular basis. And, yes, I had BIG fears. Direct Sales at these networking events was not very common except Mary Kay and maybe Avon. I took nearly 12 years off from Networking when I moved to Lake Arrowhead. When I re-entered the networking scene in Ventura, WOW - it was filled with Direct Sales - most of whom are going about it ALL WRONG. Master your Message so you can Monetize your Message. Know how to give a solid commercial that is engaging, informative and more like an infomercial than flat out advertising. Know how to work these effectively! http://StreetSmartNetworker.com Learn how to dram people into the networking event. Develop some simple ice breakers and get them talking about themselves. Comment on something they are wearing. Mention their accent. Find something to get them talking! Build your top 100 list of clients, past and present, referral partners and future clients. Figure out how you can provide value in what you know and offer. Position yourself as a resource for them and who they know. Don't make the mistake of leading with your opportunity at these events! These people are here at these events to promote their own business so approaching them at this event is a turn off. Doesn't mean they won't be open, just save that for the one on one that you are going to schedule for later! I am able to easily share and demo my business in about 20 minutes using my phone, our app and the videos. Don't take your network marketing business online out of fear. You'll most often fall flat on your face. Here are some things to avoid online - Messenger - do not blatantly pitch and then especially apologize for it! He needs http://JackieUlmer.com/cmfb And, he was receptive and he bought it! Here's hoping he improves his prospecting skills for all of us! Don't turn off the very people who you would most want to sponsor? Making new Friends sample - Hi Kim. Nice to connect and thanks for the friend request! What prompted you to add me? I'm a networker so I like to do more than just rack up "friends" Tell me a little about you? Looks like you are with Keller Williams? Great company. How long have you been in real estate? I also see that you are a Brian Klemmer student! Awesome. Me too. And my hubby went to MU too. We have a lot in common! But do I also see USC? Remember to always be involved in active prospecting as well as passive marketing! This podcast and blog post is passive marketing. Offline - join fun groups. I've just joined a Bunco group to meet new people in my area. What will you do for Attraction Marketing Online and Offline For Your Direct Sales Business? I LOVE and appreciate reviews!

You're Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 298. This week's Mantra and affirmation is - One Small positive thought can change my whole day. If you've ever listened to the success stories of Olympic Athletes, you know they saw and thought it win their mind first. WAY early on before it ever came to pass. The same can be true for you and your Direct Sales Business. Need some coaching to move you forward? My one on one and inner circle programs are LIVE! Are you looking for coaching to be successful in your Network Marketing business? Want to also learn how to generate your own leads online? My Inner Circle Coaching Program may be just what you need. Or, maybe it's one on one coaching. Learn more about both at StreetSmartWealth.com/coach And, DirectSalesBootcamp.com is open! Check the podcast archives on the blog at JackieUlmer.com for previous episodes if you missed any or are new to the show. I'm excited to share with you that StreetSmartNetworker.com is now live. 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 bene to networking events where over half the people there are in some type of Network Marketing company. Change Your Thoughts and Explode Your Direct Sales Business One Small positive thought can change my whole day. Become aware of your thoughts. Become aware of your feelings. If you aren't having the success you want in Network Marketing, what are you thinking and saying about this? Name the top the things in your life that you are spending most of your time thinking about these days. Write them down. Now, think about how you think about these things. Are you mostly having positive or negative thoughts? And, hoe much of your day is spent thinking about these things? Begin to consciously shift the statements or questions you have around these issues. Questions - How might I…. What do I require to know to…. Who do I aspire to become… What quality in me will attractive right people to my network marketing business? How might I appeal to more people? Each day, I am getting better and better. With each action step I take in my business. What would be the worst that could happen? And, would I survive it? What would be the best that could happen? I used a hairband around my wrist and would pull it back and snap it on my wrist when I caught myself thinking negatively. I was recently talking to someone at a networking event who found out what I do, and say - Oh, I've never been good at Network Marketing. I simply asked - "Why? Why do you think you have not been good at network marketing?" My goal is not to change her mind, but instead just to listen and see where the conversation leads us. "My friends and family are different…" So, remember this - One Small positive thought can change my whole day. Say it, practice it and feel it within your whole body! Why do I care more about what someone else thinks of me and my ego around it, than I do of my own desire to be successful? I LOVE and appreciate reviews!

You're Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 297, and today I am answering questions that many of you submitted when I recently sent out the question on my Profit in Your PJs report and asked - what do you want to hear about?

What is the fastest way to create an endless source of leads and referrals for your business? Networking of course, and combining the best of online and offline for success! Check the podcast archives on the blog at JackieUlmer.com for previous episodes if you missed any or are new to the show. Discipline, Distraction and Daily Habits in Direct Sales I love today's topic because it brings up all of the issues that I personally have struggled with in my Direct Sales Career. So you won't hear me say - oh, get over it! I haven't forgotten what it feels like to be there! Wendy asks - I struggle with taking daily action and getting new habits set. Let's start with WHY, and also what is it you are struggling with? Are you blocking time for those 2 income producing activities that we do in Network Marketing? Write down your action plan and those habits you must do! Mary asks - Fear of making phone calls!! I will put it off and avoid avoid avoid- even doing housework to avoid. I love your podcast, and feel inspired and ready to take off in my business when listening, but just like always, fear of the phone knocks the inspiration right out of me. I love what I do and get told all of the time by clients and newcomers to parties that I am good at this, but when I have to call for bookings, I convince myself I want to quit every time. I survive and get by as a part time business (full time SAHM of 5) on word of mouth, but I know if I could overcome this, I could do so well. Booking in the moment and recruiting in the moment haven't been successful because I seem to be surrounded by women who are as busy as I am and not looking for a career. I would love to turn this love into a successful career now that kids are in school but this issue gives me a stomachache, keeps me up at night, and right now even- I break into a serious sweat! Yes, many do struggle with Discipline, Distraction and Daily Habits in Direct Sales! I sure did. Thanks Mary, for being so real and authentic. 3 pieces to this - Phone Fear, Success Language and Talking to the right people. Could you text or send a Facebook message to introduce your direct sales business, instead of using the phone to call? What are you saying that creates a win win to your potential party host? Why would she open her home, her refrigerator and her rolodex for you? Success Language is everything. And, I get it on being surrounded by other busy moms who don't want a side business. Get yourself out in front of business people. Introduce to everyone, but know that business oriented people usually get it faster. Helen says - My biggest obstacle with my home based business at the moment, I feel is the fact that I do not have enough discipline and I am easily distracted. In addition to this, I also work as an English and Italian tutor (I do this right now to put food on the table, I am a single mom with NO support from my ex.), and I am having a difficult time deciding how to share my working time between the two businesses. (eventually I would like to stop working as a tutor and dedicate all my time into growing my business.) How strong is that why and what will you sacrifice to get there? How badly do you want to be full time in your business? Discipline, Distraction and Daily Habits in Direct Sales WorkWithJackie.com I LOVE and appreciate reviews!

You're Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 296. This week's Mantra and affirmation is - My Life is an exciting adventure filled with opportunity and reward. Let's get into how to Look For Adventure and Opportunity in Your Direct Sales Business, and I'm going to share my personal story of adventure this past week and the opportunities it created for me. Need some coaching to move you forward? My one on one and inner circle programs are LIVE! Are you looking for coaching to be successful in your Network Marketing business? Want to also learn how to generate your own leads online? My Inner Circle Coaching Program may be just what you need. Or, maybe it's one on one coaching. Learn more about both at StreetSmartWealth.com/coach And, DirectSalesBootcamp.com is open! Check the podcast archives on the blog at JackieUlmer.com for previous episodes if you missed any or are new to the show. I'm excited to share with you that StreetSmartNetworker.com is now live. 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. "How come you've never shared this before?" Ackkkk, busted. Well, sort of. Truth is, I have shared this and taught all of this before. But, mostly just to my own Direct Sales Team. Why? Because most everyone has always been so caught up in being "afraid" of talking to their warm market, that they blocked out anything that was about creating New Warm Market Offline! Here is the funny thing about warm market - Everyone IS a warm market to someone. So, even if you attract leads online - they know someone who is probably in a business their friend would LOVE.... And join..... But, they don't KNOW about it. But, I digress..... Yes, I worked my business 100% ONLINE for over a decade, when I lived in a small mountain community without a top light and certainly no real offline networking. When I moved to a bigger city at the beach, and my children were grown, I jumped back into the offline world of networking. And, I sold over $17,000 in products in a few short months as a DIRECT RESULT of NETWORKING offline. Here was the key though - I learned and MASTERED a few key things - One - I learned how to create a ROCK SOLID Commercial (elevator pitch, etc!) Second, I learned how to "sell without selling!" (What the WHAT?!?!?! Yes, this can be done!) Third, I perfected how to get my business in front of ALMOST ANYONE with just ONE key question. Fourth, I became a MASTER at follow up and building relationships BEFORE the sale. Fifth, AND PROBABLY THE BEST PART - I mastered how to bring social media (Facebook and LinkedIn, specifically) into the equation and build MUCH faster relationships and create interest in ME and then my business. I was recently approached to teach this at a training event, and it went REALLY well. And, so I decided to do what I LOVE and that is bring it online so everyone can learn these skills. That's all it is - LEARNED skills. Are you ready to create an endless funnel of prospects, customers, team partners and referral partners for YOUR business? Look For Adventure and Opportunity in Your Direct Sales Business As I always say - write down our mantra each week, and commit it to memory. Say it - My Life is an exciting adventure filled with opportunity and reward. - many times throughout the day. Feel what those words mean to you. Close your eyes and visualize a scene of that happening. What is adventure in your life and business? What is opportunity in your life and business? What is reward in your life and business? I want to share a little of my past week. Monday, I had an appointment to sign up a new client in my business. I chiropractic office who wants to do a better jog remembering birthdays and appreciating their clients, and want a little Social Media training, too. I plugged the address into Siri and set off. What an ADVENTURE. I ended up in the sticks, and felt sure I was lost, but decided to do my best and enjoy the sheer beauty of the adventure. It was fabulous, and I arrived right on time. The peaceful drive also gave way to a phone call with a Real Estate agent in Idaho, who ended up being my latest team partner. That was adventure, opportunity and reward. The client meeting went great and I am getting them launched this week. Another adventure, opportunity and reward. I met some great people, too. Tuesday, I was invited to share my business and products at a Chamber of Commerce Lunch and Learn. It went great and I picked up some solid business leads, as well as had a great video shot and shared on my Facebook wall. You can see it over at my Facebook profile. Link in the show notes. That immediately generated 3 leads online, of local people who are part of the Chamber and saw the video they had shared. More adventure, opportunity and reward. Always remember to Look For Adventure and Opportunity in Your Direct Sales Business. Thursday, I was invited to help so video interviews for several business in Arizona for part of a networking colleagues new project, Who is Arizona. I debated cancelling, as I am not as far along as I would like to be on a project I am working on with my sales store and products, Facebook Ads and my marketing funnels. And so the thought of a day shot was not exciting. But, I also knew it would be good exposure and get me in front of some highly connected people. Boy, am I ever glad I went! I am now a prominent part of that website, with my face and voice in a lot if videos. I also was able to create a professional, 3 minute video of my own that I can use on my own site and in promotions! Very exciting stuff. I also shared a 15 minute presentation to all of the businesses on High Tech/High Touch Marketing, how to generate endless leads. I have several prospects to follow up with! Again, more adventure, opportunity and reward. So, what are you doing to Look For Adventure and Opportunity in Your Direct Sales Business? I LOVE and appreciate reviews!
