The Different WAYS of SMS Marketing:

When it comes to marketing, there are a million different options. But among the most popular is SMS marketing. Short Message Service (SMS) campaigns involve sending text messages to customers or potential customers in order to promote a product or service. And while there are similarities between all SMS campaigns, there are also some key differences that can make or break your success. There are many ways you can use SMS marketing to reach your target audience.

Here are a few of the most popular campaign methods:

Coupons and Discounts: One of the most popular ways to use SMS marketing is to offer coupons and discounts. This is a great way to increase sales and encourage customers to try new products or services.

Product Announcements: Text messages are a great way to announce new products or services. This is a quick and easy way to reach your customers and let them know what's new.

Text-to-Win Competitions: Text-to-win SMS campaigns allow customers to enter a contest by simply responding to your text. A random generator will choose the winners after the contest entry date expires. This is a great way to increase engagement and loyalty among your customers.

Loyalty Programs: Did you know 75% of consumers would actively engage with loyalty programs if rewards were accessible on mobile devices? They work by encouraging customers to make a purchase or referral and rewarding them with free products or discounts at certain milestones. Loyalty programs build long-term relationships with your customers and make them feel special, resulting in higher customer lifetime value.

Customer Service: SMS can also be used for customer service purposes. This is a quick and easy way to reach your customers and resolve any issues they may be having.

SMS Alerts & Notifications: You can use SMS alerts to send all sorts of marketing messages to your customers, such as: Updated store hours or closures, new product arrivals, special events, restock alerts, event ticket sales and updates, emergency alerts.

Because SMS messages are typically restricted to 160 characters, you can insert a shortened URL into your message to direct customers to your website for more information.

Personalized Text Messages: Promotional text messages can come across as impersonal and cold. Personalized SMS campaigns enable you to send text messages that change based on each contact’s name, purchase history, birthday, and more.

SMS marketing is a great way to reach your target audience and promote your product or service. There are many different ways to use SMS marketing, so it's important to choose the right campaign method for your business. And with so many options available, there's sure to be a way to SMS marketing that will work for you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let's talk today about resilience....

Resilience is often spoken of as a valuable trait, but what exactly is it? Resilience is the ability to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions. This can be physical, like bouncing back from an injury, or mental, like coping with stress or adversity.

Everyone has some degree of resilience, and it’s something that can be built up over time.

Resilience is one of the most important qualities that we can cultivate in our lives. Resilient people are often successful in their endeavors because they have the strength to continue despite adversity.

Keys to Developing Resilience

• Have a support system in place, whether that’s friends and family, a therapist, or a trusted mentor.
• It's important to practice self-care and to find healthy ways to cope with stress. While there’s no such thing as being totally immune to hardship, building up resilience can help you weather whatever life throws your way.
• Most effective is to face challenges head-on. By taking on difficult tasks and striving to overcome them, we build our capacity for resilience.

There are a number of ways to build resilience, such as developing a positive outlook, maintaining social support networks, and finding meaning in difficult experiences. By developing resilience, we can overcome any challenge that life throws our way.

There are actually many benefits to being resilient.

• For one thing, resilient people are usually more adaptable. They can roll with the punches and manage change better than those who have never experienced any hardship.
• Resilient people tend to be more successful in life. They don't give up easily, and they're able to rebound from setbacks quickly.
• Resilient people tend to be happier and have healthier relationships. This is because they know how to take stressful situations in stride and don't let them get the best of them.

Overcoming Setbacks with Resilience

Life is full of setbacks and challenges. Whether it's a minor mishap or a major catastrophe, we all have to face difficulties at some point.

However, it's not the setback itself that determines our success or failure, but rather how we respond to it. Resilient people are able to pick themselves up after a setback and continue on with their lives, while those who are less resilient may find themselves overwhelmed by adversity.

Dealing with failure and using it as a learning opportunity

Failure is a part of life, but it's not always easy to deal with. The sting of disappointment can be tough to overcome, and the fear of repeating past mistakes can hold us back from moving forward. However, failure can also be an excellent learning opportunity. By taking the time to reflect on what went wrong, we can gain valuable insights that help us to avoid making the same mistakes in the future. In addition, dealing with failure in a constructive way can help to build resilience and develop a growth mindset. When we view failure as an opportunity to learn and grow, we open ourselves up to new possibilities and greater success.

The importance of taking care of yourself when developing resilience

Self-care is one of the most important things you can do when it comes to developing resilience. When you take care of yourself, you are able to handle stress and challenges more effectively. When you don't take care of yourself, it's easy to get overwhelmed and bogged down by life's challenges. When you take care of yourself, you're stronger and more capable of dealing with whatever comes your way. So make sure to put your own needs first and take care of yourself! It's the best way to develop resilience and thrive in spite of everything life throws your way.

Sharing your story of resilience with others

Each of us has a story of resilience. A story of a time when we faced a challenge and came out stronger on the other side. These stories have the power to inspire and motivate others who are facing similar challenges. When we share our stories, we remind others that they are not alone and that it is possible to overcome even the most difficult obstacles. In doing so, we give them the strength and courage to keep going. So don't be afraid to share your story. It just might be the one thing that someone else needs to hear.

Celebrating your successes, no matter how small

It's easy to get caught up in day-to-day life and forget to celebrate your successes, big or small. But it's important to take a step back and recognize how far you've come. Whether it's landing a new client or finishing a project on time, every accomplishment deserves to be celebrated. Doing so will not only boost your morale, but it will also motivate you to keep pushing forward. So next time you reach a milestone, take a moment to reflect on what you've achieved and give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back. You deserve it!

The connection between resilience and happiness

It's often said that happiness is a choice. And while there's some truth to that, the reality is that happiness is also linked to other factors, like our genes and our environment. But one of the most important factors in happiness is resilience - our ability to recover from setbacks and bounce back from tough times.

People who are resilient tend to be more optimistic and have a greater sense of control over their lives. They're also better able to deal with stress and adversity. And research has shown that resilient people are more likely to be happy and satisfied with their lives.

How to incorporate resilience into your everyday life

It's always been challenging to be human. Life is full of difficulties, whether it's an illness, the loss of a job, or just the day-to-day stress of bills and family life. But in recent years, it seems like the challenges have been coming faster and more frequently.

As a result, more and more people are struggling with anxiety, depression, and feelings of hopelessness. But there is hope.

Here are some tips for incorporating resilience into your everyday life:

1. Take care of yourself. This means getting enough sleep, eating healthy foods, and Exercising regularly. When you're taking care of yourself, you'll be better able to handle whatever life throws your way.
2. Second, build strong relationships. Surround yourself with people who will support you and help you weather difficult times.
3. Finally, don't hesitate to seek professional help if you're struggling. A therapist can help you develop coping mechanisms and provide support when times are tough.
4. Practicing meditation or mindfulness and engaging in physical activity.

By incorporating resilience, you'll not only be better equipped to handle life's challenges, but you'll also be more likely to find lasting happiness and satisfaction.

I hope this info has brought you some value and you will start to prioritize the resilience level you are developing in your life.  Thanks for listening today.

What is your ultimate destiny?  What is the purpose of our life?

These are questions that I find myself reflecting on many different times in my life. Recently, as I was thinking bout these questions, I was brought back to words that my Mentor Robert Stuberg Shared with me many many times in our personal sessions as I built my companies and pursued success in my life.

I reminded me just how gifted he was at communicating complex things in this life.  You may remember me telling you that Robert passed away earlier in the year, but his words ring true to this day.

I'd like to share some of his thoughts from one of his programs with you today, and my hope is that it will inspire you to find answers that are inside you.  Thanks for listening.

PS- please share this episode with someone in your life, so we can share this valuable message.

How is your week going so far? Are you attacking your goals or are you dealing with the same old issues? Are you feeling like you are on track or stuck?   I am finding more often than not, that most people are cycling through the same problems. …and this problems are almost entirely struggles with the mind.   Sure there are challenges and obstacles in life, but most of them involve our mind or perspective.   So…I want to focus this week on Hacks for the Mind…because I feel like the DAILY battle with your mind is the BATTLE you must win if you are going to live your best life.     Recently, I've had to deal with some super challenging situations and I’ve found myself looking to my mentors and lessons learned for advice, counsel and answers.  So, I’d like to share some of those with you…   Let me do the leg work and offer you some great perspective, ideas, tips and tricks that work for battling with your mind.   So…when I’m starting to struggle a bit there are certain mentors I go straight to based on what I know helps me cope and get on top of the situations in my life…David Goggins is right on top of the list so lets start with him today…   David Goggins is well know for his ability to push past the normal limits of his body and the average person.   David says that most people live in 40% of their best life.  In other words most people quit at 40%.   They quit their relationships, their businesses, their fitness goals, and everything else they do.   He says its like a car with a governor…explain The car can certainly go faster…and it you are my car, it definitely likes to go fast…lol But, the governor from the factory slows the car down.  No matter how much you try it wont go above a certain set speed.   This is what our brains are doing to us when we start to encounter difficulty in our lives.   Our brains are designed to keep us safe, comfortable, out of difficult situations, so it sends us signals that make us want to quit and slow down or walk away from a challenge.   The problem is that usually our minds quit at about 40% of our potential says Goggins.   I find this really crazy because our minds really are our greatest tool…but also our greatest weakness.   And to make it worse, our minds know all of our dang weaknesses and have the language that it knows will make us slow down, doubt our abilities, create fear and basically make us quit.   Your mind knows you better than anyone or anything in your life….But guess what…   Believe it or not…YOU CONTROL YOUR MIND…You are the driver of this incredible tool.   You are not your mind.  You are the driver of your mind.  The key is to NOT let go of the steering wheel.  Thats what most of us do.  We let our minds do what they want and shut us down.   And when you let go of the wheel and let your mind wander enough times, you form the habits of giving up, being lazy, “settling for less”, and ultimately a mediocre life…at 40%…you start to coast through life.   How many of you feel like you might be just “going through the motions right now?”…waiting for a break in the storm…waiting for something to change…waiting for answers?…Well you are the answer.  You have the answers inside you...   So, why does this happen?  Why do we settle and give up on our relationships, business, and all types of things in life?   Basically, its because we crave comfort and many times don’t see solutions to fix the problems so we quit.  But, this is when we need to look to give ourselves the most hope.  Because you do have the answers.  they just lie on the other side of quitting…on teh other side of the 40% mark.   See the key is to do what prosperity Principle # 3 says and ACT IN SPITE OF YOUR MOOD.   None of us wants to get up and go to the gym… None of us want to set feelings and ego aside and work through challenging relationships Noe of us want to get to work building our business after a long day at the J O B   But the truth is its only at the 40% level that David Goggins says we can truly create new habits and find real solutions.  It's at that point that the brain learns to become creative…not before.   You see your best life lies inside the pain…past the 40% mark. Your solutions will only come to you WHEN you are “experiencing” the difficulties.  The brain (your mind) is very resourceful, but it is also very tricky.  It knows your weaknesses.  It steers you toward comfort.     Go back to bed. Start Monday instead of today.  Give up and find a better opportunity, relationship, business, or gameplan.   When you tell yourself you are going to quit at that 40% level…your brain shuts down.  It wants to shut down.  Its wants the easy way out.  But don't let it control you. You control your mind...   This is when you need to tell yourself that “I am never going to give up”. Tell yourself that you have no choice but to succeed and your brain will go to work finding a solution to what you are dealing with.  It will look for the answers and help you be creative.   Eric Thomas says…when you want to succeed as much as you want to breath…that’s when you will be successful.   Stop worrying about finding solutions to the problem and start focusing on never giving up.   This is going to be a daily battle with your mind.  You can develop habits, but just accept the fact that you will be battling your mind throughout your life…make it a challenge.  make it a game.   And this is where it will become a productive…become fun…become fulfilling…become success.   You see we have been searching most of our lives for happiness and fulfillment in the wrong place.  We spend our lives wanting happiness, but looking for it in places of comfort and easy paths.  I know I have...   David Goggins continually emphasizes that you won't find toughness, resilence and fulfillment in a comfortable environment.  This is why he challenges himself every single day.  He looks forward to being uncomfortable because that is where you will find your greatness and the greatest rewards in life…in the difficulties.  Learn to love to challenge yourself.   Science has shown us that you get small dopamine hits even with small accomplishments.   -overcoming a challenge -losing a few pounds -not giving up on that business or relationship   You don’t need to get to the end goal to actually experience the fulfilling emotions…the dopamine hit that you and your brain desire…   Victory lies inside the smallest of steps…the smallest of accomplishments…   You will truly experience your best life and emotions by simply choosing to place yourself inside the battle.  Place yourself inside DISCOMFORT.  Let yourself get past the 40% mark where most people quit, cause that is where your greatness lies.   There are many ways you can help yourself get to this point and beyond:   -visualize what lies inside or beyond the battle -learn to disconnect from external needs for fulfillment…they are all inside you -know that the most fulfillment truly comes form the emotions you experience in the little moments of victory…THIS IS WHY WE SAY ITS THE “LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE" -visualize with clear and specific EMOTIONS…try this -learn and discover what motivates you (music, pictures, objects, emotions) -find a person or thing that drives you with something to prove -use past failures to DRIVE yourself   Just remember “one more rep”…thats a perfect example of being at the 40% mark and pushing through to your greatness.   Also, you have to realize that you do not have to have a trainer, coach, or specific tools.  You have all the tools inside you right now.  Your mind creates most problems and has the power and tools to overcome those problems.    I’ve spend most of my life searching for fulfillment, happiness and joy in the rewards and successes.  What I’ve learned is that ultimately we are all just seeking the emotions that various accomplishments or things will give us.   The secret is that we can experience those same emotions right now.  In the moment.  In overcoming small challenges…not just end goals…you’ve already experienced happiness in your life…visualization and small wins will bring those same emotions back into your life right now.   Learn to live beyond the 40% Learn to live in the gaps most people avoid Learn to never quit on your relationships, business, fitness goals and desires Learn to value the daily battle with your mind   See it as an exercise in uncovering your greatness… Look forward to the battle because it will bring you the happiness and fulfillment you desire.   Find ways to challenge yourself daily so that you can ultimately live the life you are capable of living…Push past the 40% mark.   Your Brain will find the tools to solve your problems    Yes, Your Thoughts Create Your Life…Yes, You are the One Who Steers the Ship…Your Mind.   Start Today to Challenge Yourself to become the Best Version of Yourself.  Learn to love LIVING inside UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATIONS.   And as David Goggins Says….STAY HARD

What type of filter do you use when you look through the camera lense of your life?

Are you seeing events as they truly are, or are you adding a layer/perspective that changes the events you are witnessing in your life?

I woudl argue that, even if you think you are not, you are most likely applying a lense or perspective based on your past experiences and beliefs.  This can really cause problems for most people.  The reason this is a problem is that negative past experiences can provide an inaccurate view of what is happening in your life.

Today I want to talk about how situations are not good or bad in your life, unless you choose them to be....Wayne Dyer said, "when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."

I want to explore a few ideas on how we can change the filter we are using when looking at our lives.  I hope it will inspire you to create your best life possible.  Thanks for listening.

Today is a great day to take a look at your Business Goals.  So many people today are grinding but without direction or more importantly without the right direction.

Beware of hitting a benchmark in business that isnt what you truly want in your life.  I am constantly reminded that we can truly hit milestones in our lives that we don't really want to hit.  This happens because we are working hard and putting in a lot of effort....but in the wrong direction.

Today I want to discuss Goal Planning for your business on our podcast, and give you some specific and practical reasons to adust why you shoudl prioritize this strategic process.

Thanks for listening and have an amazing day.
