At the beginning of the month, take some time to identify what you want to achieve by the end of the month. This may include the rank you want to reach and the amount of money you'd like to earn. Write down your goals and keep them visible throughout the month to help you stay focused.Focus on Introducing OthersFor the first two weeks of the month, focus on introducing as many people as possible to your products and opportunity. This may involve hosting events, reaching out to your personal network, or leveraging social media to reach new people. The goal during this time is to build your prospect list and introduce your business to as many people as possible.Help Your Team MembersDuring the second half of the month, shift your focus to helping your new team members build their businesses. Spend time working with them one-on-one to help them get started, and encourage them to reach out to their own networks to expand their reach. By helping your team members succeed, you'll also be helping yourself reach your own goals.Check In With Your OrganizationAs the end of the month approaches, it's important to check in with your organization to see who is close to the next rank, who is slightly short for their monthly order, or who needs help placing their monthly order. This is also a good time to check in with your customers to ensure their monthly orders have processed correctly.Take ActionThe final days of the month are critical for maximizing your results. Use this time to take action and make sure you're doing everything you can to help your team members and customers succeed. This may involve following up with prospects, making calls to your team members, or hosting a last-minute event to help people reach their goals.In conclusion, building a successful network marketing business requires focus, dedication, and a clear strategy.

Staying Motivated and Positive: How to Push Through Difficult Times as a Single Parent EntrepreneurEpisode #031Intro:Today, we'll be discussing how to stay motivated when things are not going your way in either your personal life, business life, or even both, at the same time are making you feel frustrated and overwhelmed.It happens. There was a time when the company I was with changed their compensation plan, again, for the worse again, and key leaders on my team were seriously talking about quitting. They had had enough. I didn't blame them, but I was trying to hold my business together, trying to settle my team down and talking to corporate to try to get them to fix what they did. Both my daughters were in a very expensive private school at the time. I was the mom, dad and provider and here's my business on the brink of going up in flames. That same week, I discovered the man I had been dating for 3 years, at the time, the guy I thought I was madly in love with, had been cheating on me pretty much the entire time we were together.I just wanted to crawl into be and stay there.I didn't want to deal with my businessI didn't want to deal with my personal life, I just wanted to stay in bed.And I did, for 1 day.I drove my girls to school, came home, hopped back into bed.I didn't answer a single call or reply to a single text all day.Picked up my girls from school. Told them I had a headache and went back to bed.I had pizza delivered and called it a day.I'm not proud of how I handled what was going on, but when shit hits the fan from multiple directions, you're bound to get hit in the face with some. That's life sometimes.I realized that I couldn't continue to live everyday in bed. I had major responsibilities, not only to my daughters, but also to my team, so I had to dig deep and tapped into my Driving Force.I incorporated the tips and strategies I'm going to give you here today and managed to get up, take a shower, and began dealing with my issues at hand, one at a time.It was not easy, but I took one step in the right direction over and over again until I was out of the mess and back on track.Then I kept doing what I'm about to share with you, and still do today. This helps prevent, or at least it helps minimize the rut, slump, frustration or overwhelm that we find ourselves in from time to time and keep the motivation to move forward going.“The Struggle of Staying Motivated”We all know how hard it is to stay motivated when things aren't going well. Whether your personal life is in shambles or your business is not growing as fast as you expected, like in my story I just shared with you, it's easy to give up on everything and throw in the towel. But here's the thing: success requires consistent action, even when it feels like nothing is working. We need to dig deep and find the motivation within ourselves to keep going- no matter what!Here are the Tips & Strategies I use to Stay Motivated:They are tried-and-tested to help you stay motivated, even when things seem impossible...1. Give yourself grace. Cut yourself some slack from time to time- sometimes it's okay if you don't have that extra energy or enthusiasm for doing something. Acknowledge where you are right now instead of expecting too much from yourself2. Celebrate small wins. It can be really hard when our main goal seems far away or out of reach, so celebrate each step along the way! Celebrating small wins helps us appreciate our progress while also keeping us motivated to keep going3. Stop comparing yourself to others. Comparing ourselves can be detrimental...

The Power of an Accountability PartnerEpisode #30One of the many advantages of building a network marketing business happens to also be one of the things that makes it so appealing to parents, especially single parents. That is…you are your own boss, and you set your own hours.No one looking over your shoulder with deadlines and project due dates. No one checking your time sheet to see if you arrived late or left early. If one of your children wake up sick and can't go to school, you don't have to panic trying to find a last minute sitter, or having to lie to your boss telling them you're sick and can't come in.Being your own boss definitely has a lot of perks. You can make your own hours, take days off when you want, and work from the comfort of your own home. But, let's face it, it's not all rainbows, butterflies and unicorns. It can be really tough to stay on track and be productive when there's no one breathing down your neck telling you what needs to get done and telling you what time to show up and what time to leave. That's where an accountability partner comes in.An accountability partner has to be someone you respect. If you don't respect them, this will not work.If you respect them, you won't want to let them down.An accountability partner will hold you accountable for showing up and doing the work, even when you don't feel like it, ESPECIALLY when you don't feel like it. Having someone in your corner who understands what you're going through and can offer words of encouragement (or a swift kick in the pants) can make all the difference in the world when it comes to staying on track and building your business.Not sure how to find an accountability partner? Here are a few tips:Look for someone who is in a similar situation as you. It's best if. You can find someone who is in the same network marketing company as you, but they don't have to be. They can be someone in your upline who you respect and who understands, not only your life situation, but also your goals. If you can find someone who is also a single parent, that is a great plus, but again, not necessary. The most important part about having an accountability partner is that they understand: Where you currently are Where you want to be (and by what time period)What your working hours areHow often are you going to connectMake sure your accountability partner is someone who has similar goals as you, or higher. If their goals are less than yours, they are not going to be very motivating. You want to make sure that you're both working towards the same things. For example, if your goal is to lose 20 pounds and their goal is to gain 20 pounds, chances are that they're not going to be very helpful when it comes to staying on track with your diet and exercise plan. Find someone who shares your vision and who will help you stay focused on your goals. And speaking of goals...Make sure that your goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound (SMART). This will help ensure that both you and your accountability partner are clear on what needs to be done and when it needs to be done by. There's nothing worse than getting halfway through a goal and realizing that it wasn't actually achievable in the first place! By making sure your goals are SMART from the start, you can avoid this pitfall altogether.So if you're struggling to stay on track with your business or personal goals, consider finding yourself an accountability partner. They really can provide much-needed support and motivation when times are tough. By following the tips...

Introduction: As the old saying goes, “What gets measured, gets accomplished.” When it comes to building your network marketing business, this rings truer than ever. It's not enough to have a vision for your business—you have to break that vision down into achievable goals and track your progress along the way. To stay motivated and on track, I like to break my goals down into bite-size chunks: 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years… and then keep tracking my progress! This episode will walk you through how to do the same.Measure Your Progress Every Step of the WayLet's start with day one. When you start your journey as a network marketer, you should be asking yourself questions such as “How many people can I reach out to today?” or “How many times can I follow up with someone?” These are all measurable activities that will help build your business over time. As you begin to build relationships with customers, make sure you are reaching out regularly and helping them use your products and services correctly. This is an important part of measuring success—you have to ensure that customers are actually using the products or services correctly for the best results.Set Goals for Every Stage of Your JourneyBreaking down your long-term goals into smaller chunks will help you stay motivated and on track as you work towards achieving success in network marketing. Start by focusing on short-term goals—what do you want to accomplish within the first 30 days? How about 60 days? 90 days? Then look at mid-term goals like 6 months or 1 year; finally think about what success looks like after 2-5 years in business. Writing these goals down helps visualize them—and seeing them written down makes it easier to envision what success looks like!I've been listening to Bob Proctors latest book, Change Your Paradigm, Change Your Life. It's a great book by the way. Anyway, he said, that even to this day, every morning, he writes down what it is that he wants for his business 5 times in a row, speaks it out loud 5 times and records himself saying it. He then sends that recording to his business partner, who is also his accountability partner and she does the same.This is a great habit to get into. Pick an accountability partner. That, will help you stick to this new habit.Be specific with what you want and write it down. Don't write down “I want to make a lot of money with my network marketing business”. This maybe what you do actually want, but break it down, bit by bit and make a measurable amount of progress in a reasonable amount of time. Breaking down specifically what it is that you want, will help you achieve your ultimate goal quicker.Ask yourself the following questions for each of the time frames 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 6 months, year 1, year 2, year 3, year 4, year 5 -What rank would you like to achieve? -By the way… Once you have decided what that is, find out how many customers and team members it will take to get to each of those ranks. If you don't know, no problem, most people who are just getting started don't know. That is what your upline support team is for. Ask them to help you treat it down.This will then help you identify how many people to reach out to on a daily, weekly basis to reach you goals.How much money would you like to earn per month?How much money would you like to save and/or invest?How much debt will you be paying down?What vacations will you be taking and to where?Feel free to add in additional questions that fit the needs of your family, but answer them for the same timeline, even if the answer is 0. Chances are, you're not going to go on a holiday at...

Visit www.spspcommunity.com to see how for less than $1 per day, you can have all of the support and guidance you will ever need to have the success you and your children deserve.Okay, let's dive in. There is so much conflicting information and training out there right now, more than ever before.It's hard to know what you are supposed to do and not do how you're supposed to do it and how you're not supposed to do it. It seems like every time there's some thing a new training out there that tells you to do one thing the next week there's a training that tells you to do something completely opposite. As an example I just listened to a gentleman who said that you don't need to have a “why” in order to have success in this industry.Yet there are people that teach, myself included, that you need to have a why, better yet you need to have your driving force. Why are you doing what you're doing. I have to admit though, this training that I listen to, if I was brand new in the industry, he was very good. He was very convincing, to the point of, if I didn't know better and I was just getting started, I would not have focused on identifying my way or my driving force, which by the way would have been a HUGE mistake. Let me tell you the truth, as fun as our industry can be, there are ups and downs, just like with anything. The difference between having ups and downs say at your job, you have people around you, you have a boss that you answer to, so it's easier to get out of a down time and turn things around. However, with building a network marketing career, you are your own boss and when you go through the rollercoaster of building your business, you will be very tempted to stop working for the day, week, month, or even quit if you

“Why Aren't My Customers Reordering?”Episode 25Do you have customers or even distributors that come in and order one time and never order again?Are you wondering why people aren't reordering month after month. I mean after all you did get involved in Network Marketing so you can build up your residual income. You know the products work. So why aren't they ordering again?Well, I'll tell you exactly why, there's a couple reasons, either you didn't follow up with them to make sure they are taking the products or using your service the right way, everyday, or your products really don't work. Now I know you wouldn't be selling your product or services if they didn't work, so of course that's not the issue. Which leaves the hard truth of, most likely, it's because you didn't follow up with them correctly, or enough.When people buy your product or service they have every intention of using it the right way every day, being consistent, but it's adding a new habit into their life. Usually for a person to implement a new habit into their life they need an accountability partner to make that habit stick.That's where we come in! We care about the results our customers get with our products or service. Now keep in mind, our distributors or team members are also our customers. Anybody who consumes our products or service are our customers.Not everybody is going to build a successful network marketing business like you. Not everybody will put in the type of effort that it takes to build a successful business in Network Marketing. Yet our products and services are things that everybody can use and benefit from.Let me back up for a second, to state the obvious, as a business owner, which is what we are, we want people to re-order month after month. These are people that we exposed to our product or opportunity, they went through the information. Fell in love with what they saw and they placed an order. The hard work has already been done. However, the real money in network marketing, the real freedom, time freedom and financial freedom all comes from your re-orders. Yes do you make bonuses for different ranks you achieve, fast start bonuses, maybe a car bonus, yes most companies have bonuses, but those are all frosting on the cake. Your actual cake, your foundational income, the money coming in month after month that you can count on, all comes from people who love your products or services so they are re-ordering month after month year after year. They are “Lifers”. God forbid there is a natural disaster and they have to evacuate, they are taking their kids, pets, pictures, and your products. LOL This is your bread and butter. If you think of a bicycle wheel. The hub of that wheel is your recurring monthly revenue which is the revenue you receive from the orders that come in month after month. The spokes on that wheel are the different bonuses that you receive the advancement bonuses, the car bonuses, the rank advancement bonus is the fast start bonuses, you name it. Now don't get me wrong, bonuses are great! I love frosting, but without the cake you just have a mound of frosting no structure. It would be like building a house on sand without a cement slab as your foundation.Follow up is the key. You've heard it probably 1 million times “the fortune is in the follow up”. We've heard it so many times because it's true. When somebody orders your product or services the first thing you need to find out is, why are they ordering your products or services. What result are they looking to achieve?Then find out how serious are they about achieving those results. I like to use a scale of 1 to 10. One meaning they're not very serious at all about...

Is Your Excitement Turning Into Frustration? Episode #24Hello my Network Marketing friend.We all start our Network Marketing career with the same level of enthusiasm.When we first get started in the industry we are so excited!We're like a kid in the candy store or an excited puppy, only not peeing everywhere… When we first get started, the possibilities seem endless! We have big dreams and big goals. We anxiously await for our first product order to arrive. We have high hopes that this business will bring us the time and financial freedom we have always always desired. The first week we get started we're getting acclimated to the products, the tools, our support team, the income producing activities, and everything and anything that our support team tells us to read, watch, or do.Then we talk to the first person we know, chances are they're positive because, although we are excited, we are super nervous, so we start with an easy sale. We reach out to the closest person to us because we know they will just order anything that we want them to, no matter what it is. Lol. However, the next handful of people we reach out to, they aren't so positive. They start saying things such as: “Why are you doing that thing?” “You don't know anything about running your own business.” “Haven't you tried one of those things before?” “No one ever has success in those things.” “It's a pyramid.” “It's a get rich quick scheme.” “You're not a sales person.” “Why don't you look into getting a real job?” “Only the people at the top make money.” You catch my drift. LOLYou name it I have heard it all before. When I was first starting out in the industry 27 years ago, I heard all the negatives. I even had my own family members, for years, even when I started to have real success, like solid five figures a month coming in, I still had family members ask me when I was going to get a real job and why am I doing that thing, it's a scam. People say these things not because they want to hurt us, or even discourage us, they say them because they think they know the Network Marketing Industry, but the just don't. The thing is, it's such an inexpensive, easy way to start a simple to build business, no experience or college degree required (thank God), with unlimited potential, you can be from Yale or Jail. Because of this, countless amount of people have tried building a network marketing business. And I use the word “TRY” very loosely. (I'm doing air quotes right now) Often times people who say “I've tried one of those things before, they don't work, only the people at the top make money”, well the truth is, they didn't really try. They didn't connect with their support team. They didn't use the tools. They didn't reach out to enough people. They weren't consistent. They didn't put in the time or effort that's needed in order to build the type of business they were hoping to build.Before I get into why I am saying all this, I wanted to tell you about the free gift I have waiting for you over on spspcommunity.com - it's the ultimate home business success guide with the 7 insider tips that will help you build the successful Network Marketing business you really want to have so you and your children can live the life you truly deserve.

I am now 49. You can do the math. LOLThese 3 qualifications were taught to me when I first started and continuously throughout my 27 year career so far.It doesn't matter what company you're with. What product you sell. What service you provide, or what country you are based out of.These 3 qualifications are an absolute must, if you are looking to have a successful network marketing career.The first one is A Burning Desire - you MUST have a burning desire to change the way things currently are. If you don't, you won't do what is necessary to have success. This is more than having your “why”. Having a “why” is great, but you need more than that.

In every area of your live, not just in your Network Marketing business.You have to be at a place where you can't stand the way things are, not for one more day, not for one more min. You are done! For things to change you have to change and for things to get better, you have to get better. You are sick and tired of being sick and tired.For me, my moment of disgust was when I was in the grocery store with my daughters years ago. My ex husband had left and took everything. I wasn't even making enough to pay the mortgage at that time.—You know when you're in the grocery store, you almost always hear kids ask their parent for something. I never could understand when the parent would say “no, I can't afford it” I understand saying “no”, but saying “I can't afford it” when what their child was asking for was just a couple of dollars, well, this day - I was in the grocery store with my daughters, Vons, here in Thousand Oaks. Taylor, she asked if we could get Tree Top apple juice. It was 2 big bottles, tied together with that plastic cap thing. The 2 bottles were on sale for $5. I didn't have the $5 to spare. Right then and there, I understood how those parents could say, “no, I can't afford it”.Now I never uttered those words to Taylor, I just told her “not this time LoveBug, maybe next time”That sick, burning gut feeling enraged me. In my head, while we were in that grocery store, I said, “that's it, not another day, not another min are we living like...

Best way to Win in 2023 - Interview with Jeff Weisberg - “The Hero of Network Marketing” Episode #22Well I have a very special treat for us for all of us. We are kicking our year off with advice and wisdom from a dear friend of mine Jeff Weisberg. He is an entrepreneur, a dad, a life changer, influencer, travel enthusiast, and the hero of network marketing. Jeff's career, in this industry, began when he was 19 years old and you name it, he's been through it. When his 2 boys were 4 and 6, he became a single dad with 100% custody.He went from being able to travel the world building his business, to being a full-time mom and dad. Jeff quickly learned how to adjust and build his business in and around his new lifestyle.Jeff, just like myself and many of you, wanted to be a hands on dad, but also had to financially provide for his family.He figured it out. He was able to volunteer at his children's school. Coach 26 different teams. Took his boys to and from school. Plus build a multi million dollar, international Network Marketing company with his teams exceeding 250,000 people and impacting millions. Jeff's children are now about the same age as mine, they're in their twenties and super successful. In fact, his youngest son, Josh and Taylor my oldest daughter were born a day apart at the same hospital. So Jeff was actually in my delivery room for a little while, so we go way back. LOL We are going to talk about mindset and what it really takes to have an impact on people around the world. The impact starts first at home, with our own family and to be able live the life that we and our children truly deserve.Here's the transcript of the interview…Jeff Weisberg:Thanks Sam appreciate being on here and good morning, good afternoon, good evening wherever you guys might be listening in from. I live in Sarasota Florida but now I am in Oxnard, California, it's kind of an interesting situation. My parents are getting older. They're not doing too well. Because of network marketing I always learned early in my career, you build your business around your lifestyle. Not your lifestyle around your business. That mindset has made it possible for me to turn a three-week trip into three months so I can be here, taking care of them. Thanks for having me on. It's a pleasure. Yeah I've known Sam for a long long time. I remember when she and my ex-wife were in the hospital together a day apart. My son her daughter and literally their rooms were right next to each other pretty funny and then they ended up meeting each other in high school. And through talking through friends they realized who they actually were and didn't even know it when they heard the story. They couldn't believe it! Such a small world.I love what you're doing with the Single Parent SuperPower I mean I'll tell you my story real quick. I started the industry when I was 19 years old got involved with a company called Amway everybody's probably heard of them.You know, growing up. My dad was very successful in the life insurance business and taught me go to school get good grades and have your own business. He taught me about residual income and I learned about life insurance, but it didn't really turn me on then, obviously now I'm older I think about it differently but didn't really turn me on that much then as a career, but residual income did. A friend of mine took me in September of 1979 to an Amway meeting here in California at the Civic Center and I walked into this meeting. I'm nineteen years old and these guys are all dressed in suits and...

If you had an unwavering amount of confidence, how would that impact your life? #21If you had an unwavering amount of confidence, how would that change your life?I have asked a handful of people in our community this question and here were their responses:Kelli - Take greater relationship risksLisa - I would fire my boss and build my network marketing business full-time Beth - Start more businessesChristopher - It would be an immense change to my lifeRochelle - I would say yes more oftenMargie - It would help me accomplish some personal goals I've had for some timeJill - It would make my social and professional life so much betterKim - I would be a lot less depressed about the world around usVicki - I would lead better at work and home, improve communicationCarole - It would lower my anxiety greatly and improve my level of trust in many thingsAs you can see, having total confidence is a game changer.How would your life improve if you had a new level of confidence? The foundation of your success is believing in yourself.We have talked before about visualizing your future self. Last week on episode 20, we talked about perspective and how to change it in 2 steps and one of those steps was visualizing what your future would look like in great detail.Confidence is the true belief that you really can accomplish and achieve what you are visualizing.Sounds easy enough, right?…Well, unfortunately confidence doesn't just kick in automatically when we summon it, especially when we are trying something new. Sounds like a catch 22 doesn't it?Confidence is the foundation of our success, yet, we don't naturally just have confidence, especially when doing something new, like building a Network Marketing business.So how can you GET the confidence you need to have the success you desire for you and your children?Before I get into that, I wanted to tell you about the free gift I have waiting for you over on spspcommunity.com - it's the ultimate home business success guide with the 7 insider tips that will help you build the successful Network Marketing business you really want to have so you and your children can live the life you truly deserve. Go grab it…not right this second, but after this episode LOL - pop over to www.spspcommunity.com So how can you GET the confidence you need to have the success you desire for you and your children? Well, there is something that comes before confidence.That something is Courage.It will take courage to give you the nudge, the push you need to do what you have to do to get the results you want.Now, to muster up the courage, you have to be crystal clear on why you are doing what you are doing. What is worth the effort? What is it that is worth you getting outside of your comfort zone? If you haven't done so yet, go through the 7 Levels to Uncover Your Driving Power. It's episode 12 How to become unstoppable.It's deeper than your “why”, much deeper. It is what you will need to have the courage to do what's necessary, to take the uncomfortable action and get outside of your comfort zone.Here's the great news…You will only have to use courage to push through, with anything new, just...

Want to Speed Up Your Results? #20There is 1 thing that will create real speed in your business and it's probably not what you think. It's not the latest and greatest system, or a way to get qualified leads, or the new social media algorithm…it's your perspective. It's where you spend the majority of your time in your mind. Perspective is the amount of time you spend in a position or a thought -Here's an Example of having a negative perspective - “this is hard” “I look stupid” “I can't do this” “I'm stuck” “I'm overwhelmed”You can Change your perspective in 2 steps Before I go through the 2 steps, I wanted to tell you about the free gift I have waiting for you over on spspcommunity.com - it's the ultimate home business success guide with the 7 insider tips that will help you build the successful Network Marketing business you really want to have so you and your children can live the life you truly deserve. Go grab it…not right this second, but after this episode LOL - pop over to www.spspcommunity.com Now, here's how to Change your perspective in 2 steps #1 - Change how you describe it -Example - Instead of “I look stupid” say “I'm not going to notice my missteps” Instead of “I can't do this” say “I'm not going acknowledge or recognize my feeling of lack or not good enough” Instead of “I'm stuck (or overwhelmed)” say “I'm not going to give energy to the feelings of being stuck (or overwhelmed)”Note: We are so conscientious about how we talk to others, We are even nice to complete strangers in the grocery store, yet, for some reason, we do not extend that same curtesy to ourselves. We would never tell someone “you're not good enough, you should just quit, you can't do this, you look stupid”Yet, we tell ourselves negative statements all the time.That has to stop… NOW!Our Self Talk is incredibly important, especially when shifting your perspective. Your self talk also cues people in on how to treat you. You'll find, if you are very negative with yourself and hard on yourself, you'll most likely attract people who won't treat you the way you want to be treated, why, because they are getting their cues from you. Look back at your past relationships, you'll see the pattern. I know I sure do. Every guy I dated and even the one I married, cheated on me and was abusive. I thought my “picker” was just broken. Turns out, they were all taking their cues on how to treat me from how I treated myself.My friend, this took me decades to understand. Please don't let it take you another minute.You are an awesome, amazing person who deserves nothing but the best in all areas of your life.Okay…moving on…#2 - this is the magic…Pour speed onto where you want to be by Visualizing yourself there - doing it - having the result you want - the success you want - the Experiences you want - So, what is it that you want from your network marketing career? I mean what do you really really want if there wasn't anything holding you back, the Sky's the limit…What is it?Once you are crystal clear on that, I mean 1000% clear, then ask yourself - What would it look

Episode 19 Are you jumping the gun on your close, or stalling out?How is your closing ratio?Are you reaching out to people, filling your pipeline, being postured as we covered last week and the week before in episodes 17 & 18?Yet, people are STILL not going your way? They're still not joining or buying from you.Then it's time to check your positioning.What I mean by this is, what position is your prospect in?Position 0 Cold market - you don't know them, they don't know you.Position 1 is someone who knows you.Position 2 is they are open to taking a lookPosition 3 is they watched, or went through your exposure tool (whatever you and your support team uses that grabs their attention)Position 4 is they like what they heard or saw and want to go to the next step. Position 5 you follow up and pop the questionPosition 6 go through the ordering / sign up processPosition 7 have them go through your teams onboarding processPosition 8 help them duplicate what you just did with themIf you know how to drive a stick shift, you know you can't go from 1st gear to 5th. It's too big of a jump. Your engine will lag. You'll be pressing the gas pedal and not going anywhere. You have go back down to 2nd gear and work your way up to 5th gear.This is the exact same thing.If you jump to position 5 without going through 1-4, your prospect will not be on the same page as you. You will come off as being spammy, desperate, pushy…nothing good will come out of it. They will not join or buy from you.Same goes for if you stay in one position for too long. If you're getting on the freeway and you have your car still in 3rd gear, your engine will rev out and possibly blow a head gasket.Often times we get to position 3 and either never follow up, or keep giving them more and more videos to watch, posts to read, calls to tune into, etc. Never getting them to position 4, which is your ace in the hole by the way. No matter how positive they were, if you don't stay on top of your follow up, or bombard them with information overload, you're not moving them up in position and they will not join or buy from you.Let's quickly break down each position:Before I do that, I wanted to tell you about the free gift I have waiting for you over on spspcommunity.com - it's the ultimate home business success guide with the 7 insider tips that will help you build the successful Network Marketing business you really want to have. Go grab it…not right this second, but after this episode LOL - pop over to www.spspcommunity.com Position 0 - They don't know you, you don't know them. You have 2 options here:You can forge a genuine relationship with them. Get to know them. They get to know you. This takes quite a bit of time, especially to form a genuine connection, not just a “I'm getting to know you so I can pitch you” connection.You can cold marketing message them and jump to position 2. This is the only time it's okay to skip a position. You can check out Episode 13 to learn how to do this effectively.Position 1 is simple - You have a relationship with them of some sort. They already know like and trust you.Position 2 you have sent them a message, or talked to them and asked them if they'd be open to taking a look at how you're helping people make money through social media, or whatever it is for your company and give them an out- If not, no big deal at all. For the product you know that...

Posture: What is is and Why is it so important to have when building your network marketing business?Posture.What is posture and why is it so important to have when building your network marketing business?Posture is the belief in what you have regardless of external acceptance or approval. Most people lack posture, especially when faced with negativity, or push back.Having posture when building your network marketing business, is the difference between being great at getting new business and being terrible at it.Before I get into how to have posture, which will drastically increase your closing rate, I wanted to tell you about the free gift I have waiting for you over on spspcommunity.com - it's the ultimate home business success guide with the 7 insider tips that will help you build the successful Network Marketing business you really want to have. Go grab it…not right this second, but after this episode LOL - pop over to www.spspcommunity.com Okay, so…Having posture, is you coming from a position of strength, not weakness.Often times, when we are talking to someone about our products or opportunity and they say they are too busy right now to take a look, or maybe they are even flat out negative and say something like, “I've tried one of those things before. Only the people at the top make money. It's a scam.”, we go right into convincing mode.We love our company and we love our products and we just know that if they take a look, there's a great chance that they'll love them too so we go into all the reasons why our company is so great and how it's different than anything else out there. How the comp plan is the best in the industry and the products are patented, they're the only products doctors recommend. Can't get them anywhere else in the world…blah blah blah.When people are skeptical or negative, we tend to go into this convincing mode, especially if we are desperate.Desperation doesn't work.We have to have the energy of not needing them to join or buy.Begging and pleading doesn't workDon't try to convince or defend in the attempt to turn them aroundThere is a 100% chance you are going to be hit with all kinds of replies that are going to test your Posture.People being;NegativeBusyDon't think they can do itAre all tests of your postureWhen we get hit with these tests, most Network Marketers think;Okay, even though they are too busy right nowOr Okay, even though they are negative, how can I still get them to buyconvertturn aroundThey are pulling away from you and your are leaning into them, chasing them. That doesn't work.Think about if you were on a 1st date. He was nice and pretty funny. You had a good time. As you are saying goodbye, he asks if you'd like to go on a second date. You told him you'd love to, but you're super busy right now with the holidays coming up and the kids home from school, but you'll let him know as soon as you're freed up a bit. He said he completely understood. However, 30 min later he reaches out to you and tells you that he's the best guy out there, he's not like anyone else you've ever dated, he'll adapt his schedule to yours and he'll be available whenever you are, the next day, the day after, the day after that, the day after that and he gives you all the reasons why you need to go on a second date with him right away, completely dismissing the fact you told him you were busy.He's coming off as being desperate, pushy and needy. A complete turn off. You would go from being interested in seeing him again, to being completely repelled. There is not a chance that you'll...

4 ways you can fill your pipeline and never run out of people to talk to about your products and or opportunityEpisode #17Pipeline is Network Marketing 101.Without a full pipeline, you don't and won't have a business. Our business is a people business, therefore, we have to have “people” to talk to, but where do we find these people?Well my friend, it's easier than you may think.I'll let you in on a secret, if you don't have people to follow up with today, yesterday, or even last week, it's because your pipeline was empty last week, the week before and the week before that, so you are not planting seeds.You are not exposing people to your tools, walking them through your process, or using the ATM method. (For more training on that, see Episode #6 Don't be a Fool, use a Tool)Social media is an amazing tool to help us build our network marketing businesses, however, we can't just post and pray.It doesn't matter how great our content is that we post, that will never fill your pipeline.Posting content gets people familiar with you. They can get the know, like and trust factor, but posting will not fill your pipeline.To fill your pipeline, you have to be strategic and purposeful with your activities.Throughout my 26 years in this amazing industry, I have helped thousands and thousands of people around the world build their network marketing businesses.However, there was always a common denominator with the people who weren't experiencing the kind of success they were hoping for.That was, their pipeline was empty.We have all come across the “anti-mlmers” who say network marketing doesn't work. It doesn't work, if you're not talking and exposing new people to your products and or opportunity.It isn't any different than a realtor.If a realtor doesn't reach out to people to see if they want to sell their home now or in the future. If a realtor doesn't reach out and build relationships so people will come to them when they want to buy or sell a home, the realtors pipeline will be empty and that realtor will not be listing any properties nor will they be selling any properties.Are people ever “Anti-Realtors”, no, because it is understood that a realtor has to keep their pipeline full in order to have success.Network marketing isn't any different my friend. The great advantage we have as network marketers versus a realtor, is we have the opportunity to build a residual income. Realtors sell a home. Earn a commission and start again.So, how do we keep your pipeline full so you never run out of people to talk to?Before I get into the 4 ways to make sure your pipeline is always full, I wanted to tell you about the free gift I have waiting for you over on spspcommunity.com - it's the ultimate home business guide with the 7 insider tips that will help you build the successful Network Marketing business you really want to have. Go grab it…not right this second, but after this episode LOL - pop over to www.spspcommunity.com How many Facebook friends do you have? How many Instagram friends do you have? How about LinkedIn? How many have your reached out to? - Yes, you can message your social media friends. That is not spamming. That is not cold messaging. Why would you be Facebook friends with anyone, if you can't message them. Now, when you message them, you don't just tell them about your product and opportunity and give them your order link.That doesn't make any sense.Be a human. Have a human, natural conversation. Your message to them can be “Hey Abigale, we haven't chatted in quite sometime. I just saw...

The Daily Gratitude Challenge (5 Steps to a Happier Life)We are told to give thanks, be grateful, especially this time of year.It sometimes can seem easier said than done. When you are a single parent with a job you hate. No time to spend with your own children. Feeling the single parent guilt. Barely making ends meet, or not making ends meet. (Pancakes and Mac n cheese were my dinner go to's for a brief period of time). You know the holidays are coming up and you just can't give your children the Christmas or holiday you'd like to. I know this, because I have been there. It is difficult to be grateful, everyday, no matter what is going on. It is, it's hard. We try not to be negative. We try to find the positive and find even the smallest of things to be grateful for, but when life gets more and more difficult, it gets harder and harder to find even the smallest of things to be grateful for. They are over shadowed by things in life that seem to be sucking the joy right out of us.However, just like brushing our teeth, tying our shoes, making our bed or grabbing a cup of coffee everyday the attitude of gratitude can and will become second nature to you, if you are willing to give a little bit of effort…not much, just a little. Here are 5 daily action steps to incorporate into your day that will give you the attitude of gratitude each and every single day, no matter what is going on in your life.Before I get into the 5 action steps, I wanted to tell you about the free gift I have waiting for you over on spspcommunity.com - it's the ultimate home business guide with the 7 insider tips that will help you build the successful Network Marketing business you really want to have. Go grab it…not right this second, but after this episode LOL - pop over to www.spspcommunity.com Okay - here are the 5 action steps to incorporate into your day that will give you the attitude of gratitude each and every single day, no matter what is going on in your life.#1. Notice your negative thoughts. Not stopping them, that's just about impossible, but we can catch them, acknowledge them and then release them. Negative thoughts are only harmful if we hold on to them and take ownership of them. Let them go as if you're watching a leaf float down a river.You maybe thinking “Sam, easy for you to say, you're no longer struggling to make ends meet. How in the heck do I let my negative thoughts go like a tricking leaf floating down a river?”, Well, that was my thought when I first heard this concept. What I did, when a negative thought popped in my mind (believe me, with an abusive addict for a husband, there were many), I would envision that negative thought written on a post-it note and watched that post-it note float away, down the river, until I could no longer see it. Believe me, the more you do this, the better at it you will be and the quicker you'll be at catching and releasing the negative thoughts. You'll actually begin to catch other people's negative words or actions like you never have before too. Side note - limit your exposure negative people. They are not going to help you live a better life.#2. First thing in the morning, before your feet hit the floor, take a big stretch - arms over your head, point your toes, arch your back, tighten your muscles, take a deep breath and then release it all. This will instantly get your blood flowing. Creating circulation, which automatically makes us feel better and changes our state.#3. After your “Good morning stretch” take less than a min (more if you like, but it doesn't have to...

7 Tips That Will Help You Get More Traffic, Engagement & Leads from Facebook Did you know that Facebook now has over 2.6 billion monthly active users? That's a lot of people! If you're building a network marketing business, heck, any business, that means there's a lot of potential customers on there just waiting to find you. However, if you have been posting on Facebook for the past year, you have probably noticed that barely anyone see's anything you post. It's the norm now to have your post only be shown to less than 6% of your entire following. So how do you increase your traffic, engagement and make sure your ideal customers are seeing your content and not getting lost in the shuffle? Tune in to find out my friend!Invest, learn, teach - Invest time and or money into learning something that your ideal customer is interested in then teach it. This will give you quality content to post to improve your engagement. People go to social media, to be social, entertained and to even learn. They don't go there to be sold or to look for something to buy. Grab their attention by giving them content that has value for them.Don't post to your feed unless you have time to take 10 minutes to comment on other people's posts first. Then post to your feed. Wait 10 minutes. Then take another 10 minutes to comment on other peoples posts again (new posts, different people than the pre-post 10 minutes). The reason for this is it warms up the Facebook algorithm. Facebook rewards those who are active. If you are actively engaging on other people's feeds, Facebook will show your post to more people.Engage with every single comment you receive on your posts. This is the critically important part of generating leads using social media, Facebook in particular. Note: In the beginning, even engage with people who have just liked your post, but didn't leave a comment. Send them a quick DM say something like "hey, thanks for the like on my post about xyz"Reduce the amount of friends you have on Facebook. If you have maxed out your friends on Facebook, yet only a small handful of people who are seeing your content, it's because Facebook's algorithm is seeing you have a bunch of friends and little to no engagement. Therefore, they are not seeing your content as being valuable enough to share with others. They don't think it's good. (Facebook is saying this, not me. lol) I highly suggest you go through your friends, just a handful a day. If they haven't posted anything in the past 6 months, unfriend them, unless it's someone you are close with (don't unfriend them, you don't want that drama. lol). If you reduce the amount of friends you have and are selective of who you add as a Facebook friend moving forward, your reach, exposure and engagement will increase. Use relevant hashtags - Hashtags are a great way to reach people who are interested in what you're posting about but don't necessarily follow you yet. When used correctly, hashtags can help improve both your engagement and traffic significantly. Hashtags are a great way to categorize your content and make it easy for people to find. When you use a hashtag, Facebook will add a link to your post that people can click on to see all posts with that hashtag. This makes it easy for people to find your content, and it also helps to broaden your reach. The best way to use hashtags is to research popular ones that are relevant to your business or topic, and then start using them in your posts. You can also create your own hashtags to build up awareness and get people talking about your brand. Whatever route you choose, just make sure you're using hashtags regularly to maximize their potential.Go live! - Videos get much higher engagement than regular posts so going live is a great way to reach more people and get them interested in what you're all about. Live videos also show up higher in the...

3 strategies to maximize your energy and productivity as well as the top 4 tips on how to manage your calendar.#1. Plan your Ideal Week - This will be your framework This is essentially your perfect week, if everything goes smoothly, there aren't any distractions, or wrenches thrown in and the stars are alignedThis will give you the blueprint, foundation or framework of what your ideal week would look like. All the tasks you need to get done.All the family time scheduled in.All of your personal time scheduled in.When planning your week, there are 3 areas of your life to fit into your schedule.High leverage work - this is the work and tasks that only you can do, things you can't delegate. These are the things that require your expertise, knowledge or personal touch.Administrative work - these are items like checking your email, facebook messenger, texts, paying billsPersonal activity - appts (doctor, hair, nails, etc.), volunteering at your childrens school, carpool, time with friends, family, etc#2. Daily Big 3 These are your “come hell or high water they're going to get done” items. These big 3 are tasks that are helping you get to your major goal. That way, you are chipping away and getting closer to where you ultimately want to be with your business and your personal life.These Big 3 are your momentum building or mini goals. You'll be making constant and consistent progress everyday and feeling that sense of accomplishment which will continue to move you forward.#3. Startup / Shutdown Ritual Rituals you set to start and end your day will bring you more clarity and you'll be less stressed and you'll increase your productivity in your business.Block out 20-60 minutes at the beginning and end of your day to carry out your ritual taks.Do what you know you can stick with, if that's 20 min great, if it's 60 min, then great. I do about 60 min in the morning and about 20 min at the end of my work day.Example of a startup ritual - here's what I do- Meditate Visualize my day Review my mantras Review my calendar Review my big 3 Set any appointments and alarms I need for the dayExample of a shutdown ritual - here's what I do- Review my successes from the day Prepare for the next day Check my calendar for the day and for the next day. Did I get everything done? If not, I move those items to the next day.Here are the top 4 tips for managing a busy calendar.#1. Be realistic, know yourself, & identify patterns. Build your calendar around your habits and who you are versus planning a perfect.#2. Learn to say no, plan for buffers and allow for rest. No one can do it all and you'll burn out if you try.#3. Prioritize tasks and use a Time management tool. I use Google and Asana - I used my reminders on my phone for ages before asana. Just make sure you itemize your items, tasks, calls, etc. and put a time with them, don't just list them as a to-do list. Make sure you schedule your day. Your day probably won't run perfectly, but you'll know with your shut down ritual what tasks you need to roll into the next day, but your Big 3 should be done#4. Batch as much as possible to avoid context switching. When you have to switch tasks, back and forth, you'll spend way more energy than necessary. As an example, video your reels all on 1 day (by the way, you can schedule reels now on Instagram) versus, having to shoot videos everyday of the week. Sit down and create all of your social media posts Block out time to do your reach outsDon't flip flop back and forth.(Closing)Have your 7 Levels Deep worksheet in your sites. Remember your Ultimate Driving...

How to build your network marketing business using Cold Market messaging Does it work and Is it even the right strategy for you?Those questions and more will be answered in today's episode.Are you ready?Let's dive in!So, I've done cold calls, cold emails, cold messages on social media, shoot, back in the day, I even put fliers on cars in parking lots. You name it, I've done it. LOLSome of the things worked and some, my friend, absolutely did not work for me. LOLI recently listened to a training that 2 top leaders, from 2 different companies, selling completely different products did. They talked about how they got to the top of their respective companies and become the top recruiters all by using cold market messaging. It got me thinking that this is something I should teach you guys, in case you'd like to go this route, you'll know what to do and how to do it correctly and not spin your wheels. I want to make sure you have success if you choose to implement this tactic. When building your business, especially building with cold market you have to remain more addicted to your activity than the response you get from the people you are prospecting.Now, there are many people who say they've tried cold market messaging and it doesn't work. It does work. It didn't work for them because of 1 or more of the following reasons reasons:They weren't sending the right messageThey didn't send enough messages They didn't do it for a long enough period of timeOr they weren't consistent with itIf you build with cold market by sending out up to 50-100 messages per day. After 1 year, your business will rival most within your company.Cold market is a numbers game. SINALOA - Safety In Numbers And Laws Of Averages, so it's super important you remain more addicted to your activity than the response you get, because you will get a lot of “no's”, and a lot of ghosting.

Be addicted to your activity.Even if Cold market doesn't appeal to you, still tune in to hear how to do it, because there will be people on your team who will be interested.Cold market is not the be all end all, it's simply an option.There are usually 2 types of people who are drawn to or get excited about building with the cold market.The 1st type of person is the type that doesn't want to do a bunch of videos, posting, they're maybe a little introverted and not ready to get out of their comfort zone yet, they'd rather just get to the point and send messages. The second type of person doesn't have influence.

LOL Cold market people don't know their history, it's a clean slate, which makes this a very appealing option to some.Side note, all the people who wouldn't answer your phone call, or want to associate with you, as soon as you start having success, you'll be surprised how quickly the texts get replied and the calls get answered.

Insider Secrets on How to Use Video Marketing Effectively and Efficiently | Interview with Ed GarzaIt's well known that content marketing is an effective way to build your brand and reach your target audience. One form of content marketing that is growing in significance is video marketing. When done well, video can be a powerful way for a brand to spread its message in a way that is easily accessible to a large audience. The great thing about video content marketing is that it is becoming easier and easier to do effectively. The number of options marketers have means there is something for every business, even those without traditional video recording or editing skills. In today's episode, Ed Garza, a founder Investor with VodCast HUB, will talk to us about the importance of video marketing and branding. Ed will also outline his journey from a sportsman to a branding expert, give us the secret sauce of being a successful branding expert, and give tons of advice for all business owners. Please stay tuned. Key Highlights: [00:02:09] Introduction to Ed and his journey to being a branding expert [00:05:44] From playing sports to becoming a branding expert [00:12:26] How a busy parent or single parent can fitting into video marketing [00:16:30] Importance of them building own brand  [00:21:47] Where to post the videos [00:23:16] Tricks to gain more engagement on posted videos [00:26:45] Seven secrets of video marketing that help people drive sales [00:34:47] Advice for home-based business owners [00:37:31] Importance of emotional scale [00:41:04] Ed's parting shot Notable Quotes: If I stopped teaching, sharing, and educating, I think part of me would die inside. It's a graphical way to put it, but that keeps me motivated. If you're building your brand, don't think that your story is not worthy; it is worthy. It is worthy to be told, and if you don't tell it, then nobody will know it. Empathy goes a long way; you don't need to worry about how you sound or look. If you get better prepared, all of that's great, but keep your same heart and your openness in terms of who you're talking to and how you're talking to them. You can really do well if you develop a good ecosystem and a support system for people because that's what people are looking for. They're looking for a community they can join to interact and get social support and encouragement. Addressing the pain points is what we discussed, what's important to have in your video right up front, and then you need to provide a good solution. You need to relieve the guilt from them. Regarding the emotional scale, you get to choose what emotion you want to inflict on your listener, whether it's happy, laughing, sad, or scared. It doesn't matter; you got to evoke some emotions.

The idea behind affirmations is to get you to believe in yourself and your abilities. By believing in yourself, you can achieve anything. Affirmations are positive statements that you say to yourself to reinforce a belief or goal, but do Affirmations REALLY Work? Tune into this episode to get the great and the not so great news about the world of affirmations. Learn the 4 questions and the 5 F Method that I learned from my one of my 1 on 1 coaching sessions with Ray Higdon that you can do every single night that works 100% of the time, and it will help you achieve the life you truly desire. Tune in! Key Highlights [01:33] Introducing today's topic [02:08] Why affirmations don't always work [04:32] How I learned the 5-step affirmation process [06:33] #1: Visualize yourself being there and doing it [11:33] The 5-F Method [19:02] What you should avoid doing before going to bed [19:53] What to do when you're facing difficulties following through with the process Notable Quotes I even had pictures that went along with my affirmations. And while I did see some progress, the thing with affirmations is it doesn't tap into your subconscious mind. Our subconscious mind only acknowledges emotion, not language. That's why affirmations don't work. If you want to pour speed on wherever you want to be, you can do it by visualizing yourself there.  The most important part of all of this is don't pay attention to negativity. Feed your brain the right nutrients just like we do for our bodies. You're creating memories of your future. You need to see it, feel it, smell it, be it be in it. And remember, it has happened.  Resources: Grab your FREE gift! Grab https://www.spspcommunity.com/free (The Ultimate Home Business Success Guide for Single Parents) now!

But what if you could use these same principles that others have used to succeed in their lives, even when faced with tremendous hardship? What if you could use these same principles to reach your goals in life? In today's episode, we have our first guest of the show, a friend, successful entrepreneur, motivator, author, and mother of three, Lisa Griggs. I wanted to have Lisa as our first guest because her story is extremely unique. She is a hardworking single mother who has been able to pull herself up and remain composed at every challenge thrown at her, including being homeless for three years with her children.  Lisa shares some great insights on overcoming adversity and how you can use it as an advantage instead of seeing it as a disadvantage.

Being a single mom and being on welfare was extremely disappointing as a parent, and I never thought I would be in that position at 40 years old. I feel like self-care is one of the most important things in setting your day. Friends can be great therapists. Your support system and who you're around can lead very strongly to that can lead to your breakthroughs.

[19:52] The keys to effective follow-ups [21:14] How to follow up after making a sale Notable Quotes: When there's little to no follow-up, there are little to no sales, they go hand in hand. It takes 10 to 20 exposures, connections, or follow-ups before someone will actually make a decision. 48% of marketers never follow up with their prospects. 25% Follow up two times, and only 10% follow up with their prospect more than three times.  Don't keep chasing them. The more you chase them, the more you repel them. Did you know that only 2% of all sales are made on the first contact? So that means that 98% of the people that we talk to are not going to buy or join after just one conversation. The key to successful follow-up is keeping track of where your prospects are in the process.  Follow-up does not stop once they place their order my friend, or if they joined your team.
