Praestabilis - Marketing Excellence with Connie Ragen Green

Welcome to Episode 83 of Praestabilis: Excellence in Marketing

Welcome Aboard! In Episode 83 I’m discussing the topic around… “What’s your story?” and more specifically, telling your personal “origin” story. This was something I had to learn when I started online in 2006.

None of us dropped out of the sky and landed online; we all had lives before that time that are filled with people, places, events, experiences and more. You’ll want to share more about yourself with your prospects and clients as a way to gain credibility and create raving fans for yourself and your business.

While the people in our daily lives feel like they truly know us, that may not be the case. But you’ll agree that people who connect with us solely online do not know us at all. You have the chance to change that, along with their perceptions about you with every email you write, your videos, audios, and social media posts, and more.

Where were you born, what have you done, and how are you navigating the world around you?

I attended my first live event soon after coming online. A group of people were talking about a woman who had been a school teacher and also worked in real estate before coming online. I knew I had to meet her… and it turned out they were talking about me!

I began telling my personal story when I was speaking to an audience, virtually or in person. These stories resonated with people in the audience and my visibility and list began to grow exponentially.

Think about the level of privacy you want to maintain before you share anything, especially regarding children. My family knows that I wait several years before using any family photos, and also that I change the name of everyone to something that begins with the same first letter – this makes it easier for me to remember. So someone named Charles would become Chase in something I share, as an example.

It’s on my third blog, Monday Morning Mellow, where I write and publish more personal stories. This site launched in July of 2019 and within a few months I had a following that was growing. I encourage you to write about your personal experiences and share them with your audience as well. As an example, I wrote a post about my friend from elementary school who was killed in an automobile crash at Rhonda Sue’s Gone to Heaven.

Our origin story and other stories make us more real to our audience, as well as increasing our credibility and making up more fleshed out as a human. Also, they tell people how you react to situations. Most people are not willing to share details about themselves so openly, so in doing so as a regular part of your business, you’ll set yourself apart very quickly.

The precept is clear: When you love the work you are doing, it no longer feels like “work” and you can easily merge your personal and professional lives into one. Imagine a great athlete or musician telling their family they don’t want to talk about sports or music. Instead, they embrace what they do in such a way as to incorporate and blend it into their daily lives.

I believe the belief that there needs to be a line in the sand, where work is on one side and family, friends, and personal interests are on the other comes from being in the work force and developing what is known as an employee mindset.

As an online entrepreneur, you can conduct your business from anywhere in the world, with only an internet connection. I’ve done this all over the world, from an internet cafe in Amsterdam to a hotel in Shanghai, and everywhere in between. My work defines me. I want to share what I do with everyone who will listen.

Welcome to Episode 82 of Praestabilis: Excellence in Marketing

Welcome Aboard! In Episode 82 the topic is “Merging Your Life and Your Business” in such a way as to always be actively engaged in activities that make your heart sing.

I’ll begin by sharing two quotes that are apropos to today’s topic. The first is from marketing expert Seth Godin… “Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, you ought to set up a life you don’t need to escape from.” The second comes from John Assaraf… “Create a life you don’t need a vacation from.”

The precept is clear: When you love the work you are doing, it no longer feels like “work” and you can easily merge your personal and professional lives into one. Imagine a great athlete or musician telling their family they don’t want to talk about sports or music. Instead, they embrace what they do in such a way as to incorporate and blend it into their daily lives.

I believe the belief that there needs to be a line in the sand, where work is on one side and family, friends, and personal interests are on the other comes from being in the work force and developing what is known as an employee mindset.

As an online entrepreneur, you can conduct your business from anywhere in the world, with only an internet connection. I’ve done this all over the world, from an internet cafe in Amsterdam to a hotel in Shanghai, and everywhere in between. My work defines me. I want to share what I do with everyone who will listen. My family and friends tend to become involved in the online world after hearing me speak about it or reading one or more of my books.

I encourage you to create a lifestyle by design, where your life consists of a variety of activities, many of which could be considered to be part of your work. Even the youngest members of your family will benefit from seeing you and emulating your actions in all areas of your life. Whether it’s a weekday morning or the afternoon of a holiday weekend, I enjoy writing, marketing, creating, and mentoring no matter when it is or where I am and my world continues to expand.

This is the motto I lived by to build the business I love… “Do for a year what others won’t; live, forever the way others can’t.”

Remember that you are serving others as an online entrepreneur and author, and instead of looking for ways to do it fewer hours each week, look for ways to merge it into your overall lifestyle. You’ll create more free time and financial freedom for yourself and your family, all the while doing things you love.

Welcome to Episode 81 of Praestabilis: Excellence in Marketing

Welcome Aboard! In Episode 81 I’m discussing the importance of income producing activities to monetize our businesses every single day. These activities include, but are not limited to:

* Sending emails to our growing (hopefully!) list of prospects, customers, and clients – use something called “pattern interrupt” to get people’s attention with your email messages

* Networking with others, both virtually and in person who could potentially be interested in and a good fit to be our prospects, affiliates, JV (joint venture) partners, collaborators, and more – we absolutely must interact with people every single day if we are to build and grow a lucrative business. Rotary (an international service organization) has been an excellent way to network, and many of the people I mentor have joined their local Rotary Club as well.

* Affiliates – what we recommend, as well as those who recommend us and our products, courses, services, and other offerings.

* Asking for the sale! We must ask people to buy from us. I recommend doing this within your email messages (broadcasts and autoresponders), in person, within your blog posts (I have a CTA (Call to Action) at the bottom of all of my posts, In the podcast recording, I share the story of buying a new car recently, and how one dealership lost my business because they did not ask for the sale when I was ready to make the purchase.

* Launching or re-launching a product or course – we are teachers in our online businesses, and we must show people what it’s like to learn from and with us.

* Marketing your current products – get them in front of your prospects, customers, and clients on a regular basis. This includes both free and paid offerings, including your free giveaway (lead magnet).

Everything else we do as an online entrepreneur is outside the realm of being income producing on a daily basis.

Are you focusing on income producing activities every single day in your business? Is marketing at the forefront of your thinking and actions? Everything we do is selling us to our target audience; share your story, your knowledge, your experiences, and you expertise.

Welcome to Episode 80 of Praestabilis: Excellence in Marketing

Welcome! In Episode 80 the topic is around managing your time and deciding when to begin outsourcing some of the tasks and activities that are a part of your business.

I continue to only engage in four areas in my business. These include:

* Writing – blog posts, short reports, focus guides, sales letters, books, and more

* Creating – products, courses, challenges, and events

* Marketing – I’m the “Marketing Madwoman” and relish this title! Marketing makes the business world go ’round, and I wish I would have embraced this concept sooner in my life.

Embrace the Hard Parts of Everything You Do…  Because Skipping Through the Hard Parts of Life Won’t Serve You

Throughout my lifetime I have discovered that skipping past or through the crucial parts does not serve one well. These also tend to be the boring or uninteresting parts of the process, so it takes grit and perseverance if you are to achieve success and reach your full potential.

Some of the things I engaged in during 2006, the first year of my online business were born of necessity. I was a new online entrepreneur with no prospect list or connections. Also, I did not have an information product or course or even an eBook to sell and start earning some income. I order to get my new business rolling and bringing in some money, I knew I’d have to get creative. I came up with  few simple success strategies that continue to be effective today:

* I hosted a weekly “Ask Connie Anything” call. This was a teleseminar, so anyone could join me by simply dialing in to my conference line. They could also go to the webpage to ask their questions at any time, whether or not they were attending live. The replay was accessible from the same link, making this a stress free solution.

* Three times a week, I wrote and published a short post to one of the several blogs I had set up on a variety of topics. I hadn’t yet chosen my niche and was still experimenting with my ideas.

* I reached out to the people I was buying from through email primarily. If they had an affiliate program I joined it and then shared information about them with those who attended my teleseminars,

Welcome to Episode 79 of Praestabilis: Excellence in Marketing

Welcome! In Episode 79 I the topic is “What to do when you don’t have time to do anything!” and still want to create a profitable business to run from home or from wherever you are in the world and have an internet connection but not enough time.

Life happens to all of us, and I was busy caring for a family member who’d just had open heart surgery I realized that I was fortunate to have created strategies and systems over the years to ensure my income does not take even the slightest dip when I have very little time to be online. These strategies include…

* Focus on your Big Picture Goal(s) – knowing what it is you wish to achieve in your business will make a difference in how you approach each day and every activity in your business. For me, income producing activities come first, followed by ones that increase my reach and build relationships.

* Prioritize what needs to be done. Sending an email message to my list comes first, followed by sharing what’s for sale with my social media community. I’m on Twitter at https://twitter.com/ConnieGreen if you’d like to see how I do this in real time.

* Ask for help. We all like to think of ourselves as being “Super Person” but the truth is that no single person is responsible for a business achieving incredible results. Friends, family members, people you’ve built relationships with online, and virtual assistants all play a part in our success, especially when time is of the essence.

* Learn shortcuts. After you do something a hundred or more times, your mind will come up with strategies to help you do it faster, more smoothly, and more effectively. Strive to achieve this by being willing to trust yourself when it comes to time management and productivity as an online entrepreneur.

* Keep moving forward, no matter what. Do not allow anyone or any thing to derail you from achieving your goals and dreams, even if time is short and the tasks you need to complete feel tedious.

* Take it one step at a time. There is no rush to success. Allow your life to unfold in a way that feels right to you. Know that everything is possible and that God and the Universe will continue to conspire in your favor.

* Create “to-do” lists with the goal of transferring no more than three or four items to your schedule to complete each day. It’s easy to become overwhelmed by an unlimited and growing list of tasks and activities you intend to complete… some day. Instead live by your schedule and watch your productivity soar.

Welcome to Episode 78 of Praestabilis: Excellence in Marketing

Welcome! In Episode 78 I revisit the topic of becoming a “local celebrity” in your community. This happened for me quite accidentally when I relocated to a new city in 2006, while simultaneously starting my online business.

Where I had lived for many years previously, I had never felt like I was a part of a community. Looking back, this was due to the fact that I did not participate in any local activities or connect with the people who were instrumental in making sure my city was one where there were activities and events that kept it strong.

When I moved to Santa Clarita, California I began looking for opportunities to volunteer and connect with others. This quest first led me to the local Rotary Club, and then on to other groups, service organizations, and people who were the movers and shakers in that city and beyond. It wasn’t long before everyone knew my name and I became someone who was thought of as a valuable resource in the community.

It was through my connections and volunteerism with Rotary, Elk’s BPOE, Boys & Girls Clubs, Zonta, and other non-profits and service organizations that I was able to be recommended for work as a consultant and to begin participating in the corporate world as an expert and authority in my field of online marketing.

In 2012, I began living part-time in Santa Barbara, California and it was here where I decided to become a “local celebrity” by choice. Replicating what I had done previously in Santa Clarita on an accidental basis, I became someone who is a valuable resource to my community of Santa Barbara.

Welcome to Episode 77 of Praestabilis: Excellence in Marketing

Welcome! Episode 77 asks the all-important question, “Are Marketers Born or Made?” The answer, in my opinion is that it’s a little of each. Marketing is sales and selling, persuasion, finding commonality, and building relationships.

Think back to your childhood… Did you become a master of persuasion to get what you wanted and needed from your parents, siblings, and others? I was pretty good at this skill, although it didn’t always work in my favor.

What are sales and selling? Did your school, church, or other group ever enlist your help with raising money for a special project or general fundraiser? How did you respond to this request? Were you anxious to sell to friends, neighbors, and strangers alike? Or did you dread the very thought of selling something to someone and asking them for money?

Finding commonality works in all situations, I have found. The idea of connecting with people based on your mutual likes and beliefs is one older than time itself. Building relationships is a natural offshoot of finding commonality.

All of what I’ve shared with you here leads to marketing excellence, exactly what Praestabilis: Excellence in Marketing is all about.

Learn the “So What” Concept as One of the Most Valuable “Simple Success Strategies

While I was teaching school, my students taught me so much in the way of life lessons and setting and achieving goals. I taught elementary school for most of my twenty year career.

Early on, during my first month of teaching a 5th/6th grade combination class, I taught them two powerful words, when used in tandem…

Welcome to Episode 76 of Praestabilis: Excellence in Marketing

Welcome! In Episode 76 I discuss how you’re in the right place at the right time! Luck is where preparation meets opportunity and you’re approaching the intersection throughout each day. This is the first of the simple success strategies I’ll be sharing with you here. Your timing is perfect and you’re in the right place at the right time.

We create our own luck. We do this by understanding that luck occurs when preparation meets opportunity. I’d heard that for many years before I believed it. It was when I came online in 2006 and realized that everything – yes, everything I’d been involved in up until this point in my life had prepared me for the opportunity of doing business online. Soon, I felt very lucky, and that luck continues to build. I want this for you as well, but it’s your choice as to how you implement the luck that is ready and waiting for you to catch up to it. Believe that you’re in the right place at the right time, and know that my goal is to help you take action and move forward.

Welcome to Episode 75 of Praestabilis: Excellence in Marketing

Welcome! In Episode 75 I discuss the concept of being “four-walled” by well-meaning family members and friends. Learn from my experiences and fast track your success in every area of your life.

If you’re just starting out as an online entrepreneur, you may have already had the experience of family members and friends discouraging you from achieving your goals and dreams. We’ve all had this occur in on form or another. Although it may come across as hurtful, know that these people simply want to protect you from something they know little about.

If you think about it, it makes sense that people who love and care about you will want to shield you from financial ruin and disappointment. I encourage you to sit down with them right now to discuss what you are working to achieve and how they can further encourage and support you as you go forward.

These people are “four-walling” your dream by creating a box and putting us inside of it where we are surrounded on all sides. We must take this behavior in the way it is given – with love and respect.

Entrepreneurship is risky by nature, but leaving a job and living off your savings takes that risk to the next level. It’s your job to do the best you can and to take action every day to build your reputation and gain the trust of our loved ones. Show them that you do have a plan, as well as a mentor to guide you to success. Make sure you have enough money set aside to cover all of your living expenses for the next six months to a year.

The word “praestabilis” means outstanding and extraordinary and this is the goal for you as you make your way in the online world.

It took me until age 50 to step into the light and live an empowered life. I achieved this by leaving a job – classroom teaching – and a career as a real estate broker and appraiser to come online as an entrepreneur. I have no regrets about waiting so long, as everything unfolds once we are open to receiving it. There are three top strategies to help you move closer to an empowered life and they include…

* Writing – Every day, I want you to write! This includes blog posts, outlines, emails to your prospects, clients, and potential joint venture partners. Also, write short reports and white papers to show others who you are and what you know. Finally, write a book to solidify your expertise in your niche, and follow that up with additional books over time. Writing is crucial to our process of standing out from the crowd by sharing what we know and believe. Reach out to me if you’re interested in coming aboard for my “10 Week Author” program.

Welcome to Episode 74 of Praestabilis: Excellence in Marketing

We’ve arrived! Welcome to 2022 and the beginning of the 4th season for the Prestabilis: Excellence in Marketing podcast series. In Episode 74 I share the concept of empowerment and of becoming empowered to live the life you want and deserve each day. Learn from my experiences and fast track your success in every area of your life.

I want you to feel empowered today… and every day. The definition of empower is “to give someone the authority or power to do something; to make someone stronger and more confident, especially in controlling their life and claiming their rights.”
