The Webster’s definition of Marketing is this: the process or technique of promoting, selling, and distributing a product or service. Sounds pretty straightforward – doesn’t it?

The “process” mentioned in this definition is what interests me. An effective marketing system will bring steady traffic to your website and bring quality targeted prospects to my inbox. My idea of marketing is creating and maintaining a system to sort, sift and sell so that the prospects I actually talk with are already pre-disposed to doing business with me. This is what the attraction marketing philosophy is all about and its accomplished through the sales funnel. There are many facets to an effective marketing system which include and are not limited to your landing page, blog, autoresponders, social media, pay per click and many other tools and techniques.

How about the product or service? Its great to have a system that drives targeted traffic, but what is the end product. Marketing is all about answering a need, talking to the pain and providing a solution for the consumer. The product we provide here is two fold. 1. A marketing system with ongoing professional training and support. and 2. An end product that provides a solid foundation for insuring a person’s financial house is in order. A program that provides professional guidance with debt management, tax strategies, asset protection, strategies to increase cash flow, business structure, positive mindset and optimized health.

I would say this answers a need in today’s market place

Now What Do I DO?!?

The first thing you must do is understand the overall concept of what we are doing to be successful. We are marketing. First and foremost you will be marketing YOURSELF. We have a remarkable opportunity here and you must understand that your success depends on people coming into the opportunity through you.

There are two concepts we must grasp in this business to grow, stand out and create meaningful relationships – YES – meaningful relationships. I am not working an MLM business. I did not commit to internet marketing to be a salesperson. I am not gathering leads to simply add to my e-mail list. I am not knocking on doors and handing out fliers. I am attracting people to me and thus our opportunity.

Let me explain — I do use the system to gather leads. But leads are a means to an end. The system is designed to weed out the tire kickers and the lottery based mentalities. So the leads are sorted out and the prospects will move through the Sales Funnel. Now I am working and talking to people that are truly interested in building a business. I am not interested in talking to “leads” all day and chasing people around. I have done that and do not wish to go through that spin cycle again. I want to have a conversation that is enjoyed by both parties.

So what are the two concepts that we must understand?

1. Establishing yourself as a leader and attract like minded individuals. You may not be an expert – YET!! But you can be a leader and establish a relationship with your team members and not simply blasting sales pitches all day to an e-mail list and hope something happens. Personal Branding is what we need to do to be successful in this business. The opportunity here is great, but people are joining YOU first. Offer value to your prospects and as they move forward in the business the rewards will be shared by both parties. Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring is a must read for this concept. If you have not yet read this then you can get a copy here

2. The Sales Funnel. Its crucial to understand this attraction marketing concept. I have included three videos below by Rod Moore. He does a great job of explaining this. He offers a free attraction marketing university at www.freedomduplicator.com that is well worth the time.

A lot of the material we utilized is geared toward MLM. I don’t want you to confuse this opportunity with an MLM but the tools are effective for our marketing strategies. We are a top tier network marketing business. The information shared here will give you a solid foundation on which to build your success.

With all the junk thrown around on the internet these days it can be hard for people to tell who and what is real and what may not be legitimate. I have long been a member of the Better Business Bureau and the local Chamber of Commerce through my Mortgage Business. Truthfully, this was done more for the stickers that I could put in my window and the logos on my advertisements. These add a level of credibility and hey — any little bit can help to start a conversation. Once that conversation is started, there will be no credibility issues as potential team members will quickly learn who I am and what my opportunity is about. The Association of Better Networkers (ABN) has a great code of conduct and has a very nice banner (included below). Feel Free to click on it and check it out. It is good to know there is a community dedicated to keeping a high level of integrity and maintaining social responsibility in our industry.

Do you want an opportunity to work from home? Or is it freedom itself that you are truly after? The answer for me is easy. I want the freedom. I have been chained to my brick and mortar businesses long enough. Stealing a three day weekend here and there isn’t the kind of annual vacation plans I have for my three children and certainly isn’t the freedom I expect from being an entrepreneur. I realize great effort is involved in building a business. I renewing a focus on putting in a concerted effort in building it up front and then letting it run and maintain profitability for the long term. This requires a system, which is the cornerstone of this internet marketing plan.

I do like the fact that I have not had a boss in almost ten years. I have enjoyed success in my mortgage business. The problem is that I was never really leveraged. The automation was never in place. Given the current changes in the mortgage business I don’t know if I can ever be leveraged and gain the freedom I wanted from being my own boss. So started what I call — “The Search”. This search lasted almost a full year and was necessary for me to gain experience and first hand knowledge of all the junk that is put out there.

When I started searching for a work from home “exit strategy”, I had a few qualifying factors in mind. One was that the company had to be legitimate, honest and reputable. If I was going to put my reputation and name on something then it needed to be completely legitimate. The second factor was that it needed to be profitable. Thirdly, I wanted to be able to work from my laptop – from anywhere. Work from home sounds good, but “working from anywhere” sounds better. There were many other factors I was looking for in a work from home business opportunity but I will keep it to three here.

I am enjoying the work in this business model. The work is not hard, although it’s easy to become overwhelmed with information at times. That said, there’s definitely a learning curve as I have not done much in the way of internet marketing in my other businesses. I am already receiving the rewards in five short weeks and that is very motivating and re-enforces my commitment. I have run a franchise before where it took three years to reach a break even point and that wasn’t even factoring in my start up costs.

So now I am realizing results and the next step is to work with those that allowed the results to begin. Building a team is a major part of building my success. Assist the team members grow their businesses and the success of my work from home or “work from anywhere” opportunity will be a foregone conclusion.

This is Not an Insurmountable Task

I used to think my ability to multi-task was a good thing. I guess my background in the restaurant business taught me that being able to multi task allowed me to be more productive. You need to be able to juggle a lot of tasks during a busy dinner shift.

Multi tasking in your business may not lead you to be as productive as one might think. If you are answering the phone, reading e-mails and working on your marketing campaigns all at once then it would be a wonder that you would ever be able to effectively grow your business.

The productive tasks in your business, you know — the ones that generate revenue, need to be worked on exclusively from other activities. Writing effective ad copy, making a good video or optimizing a pay-per-click campaign for efficiency requires a laser focus. If you want to achieve real profitable results in your marketing efforts then you must set them up properly. If you are multi-tasking while doing these things then it is liable to come through in the results. Without a concerted effort your articles may have typos or be hard to follow, your videos may be rushed and therefore ineffective and your pay-per-click campaigns will not gain you the results you are after.

The tough part about pulling this off is that your online business may not be your full time venture – yet. If this is the case then tackle your internet marketing when you will be uninterrupted. It may seem like you are spending a little less time on your online business but the time you spend will be more effective and you will not be “stealing” the time away from your current primary business.

Tackle your marketing in segments with a laser focus and you will enjoy more profitable results. Eliminate the multi-tasking and you will not longer lose time being busy in your business rather you will invest your time by being productive.

What do you value? A lot of common answers would be health, family, wealth, faith etc. But are your values and beliefs congruent with your behavior? Let’s say you highly value your health. Although your belief system supports good health you may find yourself inactive, overweight or your diet contains poor nutrition. In this example your values and your behavior are in disconnect. This causes stress in your life and can lead to poor health, unhappiness and even depression.

Let’s say you value wealth, financial freedom and living debt free. However you find yourself deep in debt, trading time for money and focused on your week-to-week budget. Again – here you find disconnect and the end result is stress.

Life is too short to live in a constant state of stress. Studies prove that stress will in fact make your life shorter. The change starts with YOUR desire, YOUR state of mind and YOUR action. In short it starts with — YOU!! There are entire books on this subject and for good reason. People tend to focus on external reasons for the causes of their stress. Until you start with yourself, you will not change and your stress levels will remain constant or likely rise.

Examine your values. Ask yourself if your behavior is consistent with what you value. Then take the necessary steps to get yourself in harmony. The same old pattern of trading time for money is not going to get you out of debt. Watching TV after work with a bag of chips is not going to slim your waistline.

There is a consistent theme in my writings. Formulate a plan and take action. Waiting around to cash your lottery ticket is not getting you to where you want to go.

If you are serious about the financial freedom area of your values then get yourself to a place where you can attain the results with the system available to you here.

We are a team of serious entrepreneurs that are very real and very committed to our own success and that of our team. If you are serious then put your values into action!! Apply and Commit!!

You have to have a DEFINITE plan, a DEFINITE purpose and take DEFINITE action to get your results. So why am I talking about holding on to your plan “loosely”? That is exactly what I am saying without detracting from the importance of planning, purpose and action.

When you are marketing a business, you need to continually monitor and track your results. Your end goals will not be changing but your plan and methods will. So, while it is imperative to have a plan you must be prepared to change as you go based on the results you are getting. Your article marketing may not be getting conversions or desired visits, your facebook marketing may not be getting conversions, etc. These will require you to continually educate yourself and implement changes in your plan until you get your desired outcome.

Modeling the actions of the successful persons in our industry will get you going. The important thing to note is that you are not that person. You are unique and your experience and message is different. Therefore you will need to market according to your personal style and personal branding. People are going to join YOU in your opportunity here. They are plugging into a proven marketing system with all the tools they will need, but make no mistake in the fact that they join you first and foremost.

Commit to holding loosely to your game plan and commit to assisting others in their success and your success will be a foregone conclusion.

See Ya on the Leaderboards!!

PS: This talk got me thinking of the song “Hold on Loosely” by 38 Special – a song I loved as a teen — You can check that out here.

We hear it all the time…
You must set goals in order to be successful in your own business. Its the secret of the wealthy. Its the difference between modest success and explosive success, etc.
Do you agree?
I’m here to tell you it’s only half true…
Setting goals and writing them down is one thing. Anyone can do that and many people do. But most never, ever achieve their goals.
I’ll tell you exactly why shortly but first you must know this…
Despite your best efforts, you will never achieve the success you are looking for if you never actually set goals for yourself and your business in the first place. Let’s at least agree on that.
Ask yourself, “What goals have I written down for myself and my business?”
Most people never set goals for themselves or their business at all. One day leads to another and the days continue to disappear without success.
How can you get to where you want to go if you don’t know where you’re going?
The biggest roadblock to goal setting is YOU. Setting goals requires you to actually write down your dreams and put a date of accomplishment on them.
Do not get in the habit of working your business without goals. This leads to apathy and an empty checking account.
Goals are the lifeblood of your business. Written goals that is. Statistics have shown over and over that small businesses fail within the first five years. You do not want to become a statistic; you want to become a success.
So how do you become successful at setting goals?
The first step, obviously, is to write down your intentions or exactly what you want to achieve. What intentions do you have for your life and your business? Write them down. When would you like to achieve them by? Put a date of accomplishment on your goals.
Get a pad of paper and start writing NOW. Be bold and write them all down. Your intentions are now your goals.
Think BIG! You must be clear…
You now have goals with deadlines. Your first step is accomplished but this is only half of the battle. Now comes the tricky part. Gut check time…
Do you feel as though you can achieve your goals? Do you actually believe you can achieve your goals?
Ahhhh, the look I see you giving your computer screen right now could melt ice. “Of course I believe I can achieve my goals” you say. “Why else would I have written them down?”
Well, writing them down is all fine and good but if don’t actually believe deep down that you can achieve your goals, then they are meaningless. And THAT is why most never achieve their goals with their business endeavors.
If you do not believe you can achieve your goals…You can’t.
You say you can. You wrote them down. But…
If you do not truly feel you can achieve your goals with absolute certainty…You won’t. You must be crystal clear. Period.
Tough pill to swallow, I know. So how does one go about doing this?
This is where your mindset comes in to play – the other half of the battle.
Let’s take this whole goal setting process just one step further now. Pay close attention here…
In your mind, see the goals you wrote down as already accomplished. What does it look like when it has been completed? You’ve nailed it. How does it make you feel? How has your life changed?
Go to that place right now (the outcome) and WRITE DOWN that part in addition to the goals you want to achieve. Get into the state of mind as having already achieved the goal instead of always wishing or hoping for it like everyone else does.
Assume the feeling of the outcome. Stay in that state of mind as often as possible. Once you actually feel the outcome you will then, and only then, be able to attract the goals that you wrote down.
This is a fundamental principal that has stood the test of time. DO NOT take it lightly.
So, it’s really a two step process, yes?
“What you hold in your mind with energy and focus will tend to be created in your reality.”
Read that again.
The great Joe Vitale wrote that in his recent book: “The Attractor Factor – 5 Easy Steps For Creating Wealth (Or Anything Else) From The Inside Out.”

Remember, success doesn’t happen to the uninvolved. Success happens to those who are not only persistent in reaching their goals, but to those who make a decision to reach their goals, get clear on what they want, and already feel themselves victorious in the so called goal setting battle…
A bit deep, I know…But without question, the difference maker.
You should never be without goals. Keep your intentions and your goals before you. Be clear, feel the outcome, and stay focused on the end result.
Take action.
P.S. Be sure to pick up a copy of “The Attractor Factor” by Joe Vitale at your local book store. There is no doubt in my mind that this simple yet powerful read will be the difference maker for you in the all important goal setting process.

Grab a pen and paper. Write down your age. Subtract that from 78. Multiply this number by 12. What do you have? This number represents the number of months you have yet to live if you were to statistically reach the average age of 78 (women may get a little longer – statistically).

Its time to realize what is important in our lives. Realize our dreams. Live in abundance. Do what is important to us. You know what the 80/20 rule represents? We spend 20 percent of our time producing 80 percent of our results. We spend 80 percent of our time on frivolous activities – Watching TV, Shuffling Papers, Reading Junk Mail, Sitting in Traffic, Chasing Our Tails?!?

Now we never get back the time gone. But, You know what?!? We can live the way we want going forward. Yes, we can live our life on our terms going forward. We do not have to trade time for money. We do not have to spend time on mindless activities. We can focus, prioritize and live the life the way it was intended. Live in abundance.

Easier said than done – well – in a word – NO! Here’s the thing – success comes from purposeful action – definite purpose. You definitely want to succeed and enjoy your life and definitely want to provide for yourself and/or your family. Then you need to have a definite plan, a true desire and a definite purpose to pull this off. You have “X” amount of months left as per the exercise we just performed. I choose to spend those months focused on what is important. I choose to put a plan into action that is going to provide a residual income. Definition – Residual Income: Cash Flow that survives your effort. Set something up and let it pay you time and time again. Residual income is the catalyst to financial freedom and what will allow you to live life on your terms – no longer trading time for money, taking orders, punching a time clock or making quotas.

How will you get there? I know my plan and I am willing to share. Feel Free to contact me or click on the links on this page.

I am a big fan of Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich”. I will end with a few of his quotes:

“Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.”

“First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination.”

“It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed.”

“The starting point of all achievement is desire.”
