Your Virtual Upline Podcast

In this episode we discuss how to deal with people that are close to you, but unsupportive of you when it comes to your business. One of the hardest things for new entrepreneurs to face is when people they expect to be their biggest cheerleaders are negative towards them regarding their business.

It's really important to understand why this happens and what you can do to help you deal with it. If you are currently dealing with this in your life, this may be one of the most impactful messages you'll ever hear on this podcast. It's important to understand that you aren't alone. Every successful entrepreneur has had to deal with this in their life, no matter who they are.

If you are interested in attending my upcoming live event in August make sure you check out the details at www.BreakthroughAcademyLive.com Hope to see you there!

In this episode we discuss the importance of taking massive action if you are looking to create massive results in your business. The old adage, "slow and steady wins the race" doesn't apply when you're an entrepreneur. Slow and steady will kill most people when it comes to your their business. Just quitting is not enough.

If you want to create extraordinary results in your business you must be willing to commit short periods of all out massive action. You need to treat your business like an airplane. Anything less than 100% throttle won't get it off of the ground. In the training I give you the framework for a 30 day game plan that anyone of you can follow to turnaround your business virtually overnight.

Anyone who is trying to build a business needs to hear this training in order to understand what it really takes to be successful. For many of you this will be a wake up call, because you're going to realize you've never really worked your business nearly hard enough up until this point.

At the end of the episode I announce the details of a 3-day live training event I'll be hosting on August 12th - 14th in Philadelphia called the Breakthrough Academy Live. For more details and to register for this event just go to:

In this episode I discuss two essential elements for creating success in anything that you do, focus and consistency. Without those two things it's nearly impossible to succeed as an entrepreneur and build a successful business. Most people when they become entrepreneurs are what I refer to as "some-time". They build their business only when it's convenient or when they "feel like it". They're focused for a week then something happens to blow them off course. In this episode I discuss the keys to remaining focused so you don't get knocked off track. I give you my top tips for being consistent and showing up every day in your business. I share with you some of the most valuable lesson's I've learned along my road to success. This is a recording from a training I did on Periscope last week. If you haven't had a chance to check me out on Periscope just go to www.BobHeilig.com/Periscope. I also mention my upcoming group coaching program the Breakthrough Academy.

In this episode I give you the exact video marketing formula that I used to go from zero to 6-figures in income in less than 6 months. The first ever video I posted to social media was in June of 2015. I procrastinated FOREVER before I finally caved in and started posting videos. I struggled with everything that most people deal with when it comes to creating videos. I was worried about what other people would think about me, whether or not I really had anything worthwhile to share and how I come look and come across to the people watching. I literally had to be forced to do my first video. I remember how scared I was to upload the video to Facebook that first time. I was mortified after I finally brought myself to be able to hit share. To my surprise, people actually gave me great feedback. They let me know how much the video helped them. That was my first lesson that there is tremendous value in doing videos. I committed to doing them several times per week and over the next few months things really started to take off. I can honestly say, that if it weren't for my decision to begin to market myself using video, I would never be where I am in my business today. None of you would even know who I am. In the training today I go over the elements of what makes up a great video. I give you some specific things to do when you are first starting out. I explain how you don't have to be super successful in your company or an expert to share valuable videos. I share with you some of my "secret tips" that I follow when creating videos and how by just paying attention you can come up with an endless amount of content to use. Hopefully this will inspire some of you to start using this incredibly powerful tool. I can't wait to hear the success stories from those of you that do.

In this episode we discuss the concept of how the actual money to be made in network marketing is not in your product or service. The money is in the ability to move your product or service into the hands of the end user (your customer). The problem most people in network marketing have is they have no idea how to move their products or services. Network marketing is an industry of marketing and promotion, pursued by people who have no idea how to market or promote. If you don't know how to market or promote effectively you're basically screwed. I know this sounds completely counter-intuitive but your product is not your actual product. Here's what I mean. Most network marketers are either selling their opportunity or their products and services to people. What you SHOULD be selling to people is a SYSTEM. A system that if they follow will effectively turn those products and services into money. That's the real reason why people start businesses. To make money. I promise you this training will give you a completely different way to look at your network marketing opportunity. I go into detail how you can begin to "systematize" your business to make it more attractive to prospects. If you implement the things you learn in this episode in your business you should start seeing dramatically better results.

In this episode we discuss what it really takes to be successful in the network marketing profession. Specifically we go over what the first year in this business should look like for most people. It's incredibly important for people to have the proper expectations when it comes to what it will take to become successful in this profession. Most people's idea of what it's going to take and what to expect is WAY OFF. People come into network marketing thinking they can put in minimal effort and get maximum results. That couldn't be further from the truth. Network marketing is really no different from building any traditional business. For some reason, many people don't realize this when they first start their business. I go over exactly what to expect in your first year and what you should be focusing on if you want to create long-term success. I share with you a "formula" that almost all top earners in this profession follow on their road to success. I think for many of you this will be very eye opening in terms of what it's actually going to take.

In this episode I share with you a keynote speech I gave in 2013 at the network marketing company's national convention that I was working with at that time. This was a huge moment for me, given how much I had struggled with public speaking my entire life. To be asked to close out the weekend in front of thousands of people was a pretty big deal. The topic of my speech was "We Have a Better Way". In my talk I discuss how although network marketing isn't perfect - it absolutely is a better vehicle for people who are looking to achieve their goals and dreams. I share with you some advice on how to overcome all the challenges you face along the road to success. I share quite a bit about my personal story which I hope will inspire you to keep moving forward. At the very end I brought out my Mom, Dad, Sister, Brother-in-law and their 4 little kids out with me on the stage. It was without a doubt one of the proudest moments of my life. Just 10 years earlier when I was asked to speak in front of a room for the first time, deathly afraid - I never would have imagined to be in that position. It's a testament to the fact that you can accomplish anything you want if you are willing to work hard enough and commit to the process of improving every single day.

In this episode I share with you my story of how my life literally changed overnight with one webinar. It was from a live Periscope I did a few weeks ago that got more positive feedback than anything I've ever done. It is the most vulnerable and open I've ever been in a training message. At the very end I get overcome with emotions and gratitude for everything that has happened. Last month I hosted my first ever paid training. It was a live webinar, which was the first webinar I've ever done in my life. I went into the process really not having any idea what kind of demand I would have for the product. I had spent close to 7 months putting out as much free valuable content as I could and was finally ready to start to monetize my personal brand. The results that I saw when I opened the registration were nothing short of extraordinary. I announced the registration on a live Persicope and by the time I was done 15 minutes later over 70 people had already registered! Within 2 hours I had almost 200 people that had registered from that Periscope. That was over $5,000 I brought in from a single Periscope. All total, I had over 1,100 people pay for the live training which brought in $35,000. On the webinar I offered my group coaching program and a special discount for all the attendees. Within 24 hours I had brought in a total of over $112,000 in income from that single webinar. Overnight my life literally changed from that happening. I share with you some of the struggles I went through last year and how I was able to overcome them. I give you the biggest lessons I've learned going through this process and hopefully inspire you to continue your journey to greatness.

In this episode I discuss the 4 personality types that you will encounter when dealing with prospects and the people on your team. It is critical that you understand the differences between each so you can more effectively lead and motivate your people. If you can identify what personality type a prospect is while you are presenting to them, it will also help you in being able to recruit more people into your business. The 4 personality types we discuss in the training are: sharks, whales, dolphins and urchins. I go over in detail what each are, and the specific traits that each possess. Most people have aspects of many of these, but one that is predominant. I also give you some tips on how to communicate with each personality type to help you be able to influence them and become a better leader.

In this episode I discuss what I refer to as the "marathon mentality" of building your business. Success in network marketing or any other entrepreneurial venture is not a sprint, it's a marathon. You need to have a long-term view when it comes to building a business. In the training I use the analogy of you being the "runner in the race", and describe 3 fuel sources that you will need to finish the marathon. As someone who has personally finished 4 full marathons in my life, I can tell you it's no easy feat. Understanding these 3 sources of fuel are critical to you being able to finish the race, and cross the finish line of creating a massively successful business.
