Podcasts about i'm not

Welcome to The LionsNest!Join me this week as I share my thoughts on mom guilt or how I've been feeling about it lately or this week specifically. It's ok to do things for yourself and not feel guilty about it, its ok to take your time and ENJOY it! Somethings are out of our control and it's ok not to stress about it. I also share my thoughts on how Im looking forward to the first three months of the new baby but Im NOT looking forward to the potential potty training stage, i know its far away but thats just something I dread. But most importantly Im feeling peaceful these days, now lets hope it lasts.   Thanks for being here, don't forget id love to hear from you, so please email or send me a message on IG!! This is a podcast all about Motherhood, the good, the bad, the ugly, the sticky, and the embarrassing. Motherhood isn't easy, we all do it differently and there is no right or wrong. I want to tell you I'm NOT here to give you advice, I'm here to tell you its OK if you feel like your kid sucks, its OK to be exhausted, OK and to not know what your doing, its all literally OK!Please email me with your thoughts, ideas, experiences and stories at Thelionsnestpodcast@gmail.com and DM me on Instagram: @Peggi.palacios TikTok: @Peggipalace

If how you dress, the hair you wear, tattoos, and piercings are included in your freedom of expression, then we cannot be shocked that people use their freedom of expression to judge us. What does that mean for us as teachers? What does that mean for us as parents as we buy clothes for our kids? Trust me, Im NOT a person who feels a need to dress professionally, I want people to judge me for the effectiveness of my instruction, but Im not out to silence people's own expression against how I dress. I just want to prove them wrong.

In the Before Times she regularly hosted The Moth live events and has a story included in The Moth book “All These Wonders”. She co-hosts the Nova PBS series PARENTALOGIC, hosts the kids news podcast “The Ten News”, has a weekly IG show ARTISANAL COMEDY, and somehow keeps her kids and husband alive, and not suuuper unhappy. She also bakes pretty well.

Thank you ever so much to Megan for commissioning this episode! I'm so glad to see that Rebecca is having the same difficulty picking something devastating to do to Josh, because I still keep thinking about it and coming up with nothing. However, I'm NOT glad to see what she decides to do in the end, because to be honest it's the worst possible move and I'm so angry with her. Also, she sleeps with Nathaniel in this episode, and I'm really not sure that I'm for this whole thing. I'm kinda hoping that it doesn't continue too much longer, but also I like his character and don't want him to leave? Gah. Thanks again for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

How do I forgive my perpetually dysfunctional family? What do you think about the Latin Mass? How do I understand the part of the Litany of Humility that says "from the desire of being loved, deliver me, O Jesus"? Aren't we made for love? Ask Christopher West is a weekly podcast in which Theology of the Body Institute President Christopher West and his beloved wife Wendy share their humor and wisdom, answering questions about marriage, relationships, life, and the Catholic faith, all in light of John Paul II’s beautiful teachings on the Theology of the Body. Want to support the Theology of the Body Institute? Become a Patron (https://community.theologyofthebody.com)! Q1: My question is about forgiveness. I live in a family with 5 adult kids and there are many dysfunctional patterns of expressing emotion and dealing with conflict. Many of my family members, myself included, have a difficult time forgiving. I know as Catholics, we are called to forgive the way Jesus forgave us; but I don't understand the difference between forgiveness and living in dysfunction. I feel that the dysfunction has to be solved before I can say, "I forgive you" and let things go; but that often leads to holding grudges and resentment, often for days on end. I don't know how to forgive while still addressing dysfunctional dynamics and not becoming a door mat. Q2: I wanted to know your thoughts on the Traditional Latin mass? Do you believe it was necessary to change the mass in Vatican II? I believe so much of TOB aligns with the traditional Latin mass. I’m drawn to it and the reverence of it, what do you think and have you ever gone to the Latin mass regularly? Thank you for all you do! Q3: I recently came across the Litany of Humility and I am wondering about how to reconcile this line “from the desire of being loved, deliver me, O Jesus” with marriage. My understanding is that the love of God is sufficient; however, if a marriage is a reflection of the marriage we will have with God in heaven (hopefully), then shouldn’t we desire our spouse to love us? Also, we were created to love and be loved; therefore, why should I pray to not desire love when that’s precisely what I was created for? Only God’s love?

This episode is a real departure for us! After receiving an incredible email from Tanya Smith and her sister Lindy, both from Melbourne, Australia, Sean and Paul were bowled over by the fresh perspectives and alternative take on how 10cc's output might be viewed by women. We're blokes, and we simply hadn't realised that as blokes, we've been thinking and listening through a very different filter! We found this discussion absolutely fascinating, and we really hope you do too. Like us, Lindy and Tanya are big fans of 1970s 10cc and the first three Godley and Creme albums. The podcast helped to shed some light on the later material, and also raised some questions for them. For example, why aren't we hearing the same 'pop genius' in Donna and the other 1950s pastiches? Surely the more 1960s-influenced Hotlegs material, as sung by Kevin, is much more worthwhile? Why are there so few female musicians and collaborators? And many more questions besides. Much of this podcast aims to analyse 10cc and Godley and Creme through a finely-focused lens of how Eric, Graham, Lol and Kevin have portrayed women, both lyrically and through album artwork. Some of the recurring female archetypes are really interesting, so we won't spoil the surprise. There's no accusation of sexism here; the band were in many ways simply the product of their culture at the time. Suffice to say that we discuss a huge range of hits and much lesser-known songs, including Donna and Rubber Bullets, I'm Not in Love, Blackmail, Iceberg, Don't Hang Up, Modern Man Blues, Strange Lover, Working Girls, Something Special, Green-eyed Monster, Sandwiches of You, Wedding Bells, Cats Eyes, Cry, Golden Rings and plenty more. Oh, and Consequences of course! Lindy's takedown of the Neanderthal Man promo film is worth its weight in gold! It was also great to hear an Australian perspective on this great band's rise and fall. And what's all this about Hubcap Jenny? Well, you'll just have to wait and see. Hear. I'm sure you'll find this as interesting and refreshing as we did.  Apologies and thanks to Karen Piercey too, having 'missed the boat' due to Sean sending his invite to the wrong email address!

I'm always inclined to focus on my ANXIETY right now - COVID-19 spreading across the world is a frightening time for all of us. It can feel almost apocalyptic. Especially if you're a 24/7 news consumer and researcher like I am! But today's episode is about a different PERSPECTIVE. I'm NOT saying we shouldn't be realistic about this virus - it is not a hoax, it's not something that only affects older people, and it's not a time to be a rebel and mess with the rules the government has in place for us (stay the HELL at home!). And yet, I want you to focus, just for this short episode on the ALTERNATIVE, the more positive perspective that coronavirus is offering, worldwide.  I look at the value of FAMILY TIME during quarantine... How we're able to exercise on our own schedule, with amazing instructors from all of the world... And other benefits, in my top five silver linings to the Corona crisis we're enduring right now. I am always here for YOU, feel free to get in touch, whenever you like. The anxiety is heavy for all of us right now - we can share that burden together.    Honorable Mentions (if you can't access these links, try using the Apple Podcasts or Overcast apps) Worldometers statistics tracking for coronavirus / COVID-19   Workbook on Self-Talk- FREE!   Workbook on Building Rituals - FREE!

Hello Friends - we've made it to the weekend, not that it means as much as it used to. Our family went for a walk today - still allowed under day three of the California Coronavirus shutdown - and my sixteen year old son asked what day it was tomorrow. Upon finding out it was Saturday, he sort of sadly remarked, "I guess that doesn't really mean anything anymore." And honestly, at least in the short term - I suppose he's right to some degree. How rapidly the world has changed, and yet, how constant is the character and love of God: 5 “I will come to you in judgment, and I will be ready to witness against sorcerers and adulterers; against those who swear falsely; against those who oppress the hired worker, the widow, and the fatherless; and against those who deny justice to the resident alien. They do not fear me,” says the Lord of Armies. 6 “Because I, the Lord, have not changed, you descendants of Jacob have not been destroyed. Malachi 3:5-6 He is still on His throne. Yes, He is shaking the world, but He is good, and we are not consumed because of His great mercy. Today's Bible readings include Exodus 32, Proverbs 8, John 11 and Ephesians 1. Exodus 32 contains what may be one of the most unintentionally funny passages in the Bible - a passage that shows us 80+ year old men are capable of coming up with excuses for their bad behavior that are just as bad as the excuses of children and teenagers: 21 Then Moses asked Aaron, “What did these people do to you that you have led them into such a grave sin?”22 “Don’t be enraged, my lord,” Aaron replied. “You yourself know that the people are intent on evil. 23 They said to me, ‘Make gods for us who will go before us because this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt—we don’t know what has happened to him!’ 24 So I said to them, ‘Whoever has gold, take it off,’ and they gave it to me. When I threw it into the fire, out came this calf!” Exodus 32:22-24 Our focus passage today is John 11, and our big Bible question comes from verses 23-26 23 “Your brother will rise again,” Jesus told her.24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live. 26 Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” John 11:23-26 Things are scary right now, and if most of us are being honest, our great fear is all about death. Maybe we aren't ourselves afraid to die, but maybe we are afraid somebody close to us will, and that is why the world is shaking from this coronavirus situation. To be clear, this is NOT another flu, or a spicy flu. Consider Italy, which is being devastated by the Coronavirus. During this flu season from October to January 20 approximately 2.7 MILLION people in Italy got the flu (certainly more have since then) During that time period, around 240 people died. 2.7 MILLION infected and 240 deaths. That's bad - that's a lot of flu, and a lot of sadness to lose 240 people. However, the Coronavirus is quite different. Thus far, since January, 47000 Italians have gotten the coronavirus and more than 4000 have died. I'm NOT saying this to frighten you in the least, but to sober us up - especially those of us who are dismissing this as overhyped and overblown. This thing is bad, and it is devastating Washington, California and New York right now in a way that shows us Americans are NOT exempt in the least from this thing. So - what is our response? To be afraid?? No, actually. My son tonight sent me a fantastic video from Francis Chan that underscored one important theological truth that we should all be aware of right now: The MOST OFTEN REPEATED COMMAND IN THE BIBLE IS, "FEAR NOT!" So - HOW can we not give into fear in the midst of this scary pandemic? I'm glad you asked - let's read John 11, and then come back and talk about it. The reason that we don't give into fear in the face of a very real and powerful enemy like coronavirus is because the worst it can do is kill. You might think that is pretty bad, and it is pretty bad...but it is not an ultimate bad. It is a temporary bad. I recall when I was a teenager - the exact age of my son now - I was riding on my ten speed in the slanted cul-de-sac that our home was located on. I was wearing shorts, and spinning in ever tightening circles until all of the sudden, my bike lost leverage, and I skidded across the asphalt. Unfortunately, that skid took off almost a square foot of flesh from the side of my thigh - which was horrible painful. It took about a month or more to heal, and it was miserable for that month, because it would 'weep' or drain through my bandages and my clothes. GROSS! But you know what? That was so long ago, and so temporary, that I chuckle about it now, and don't even cringe. Death will be like that when we are standing in the promise of Jesus being the resurrection and the life. Consider this paradoxical promise of Jesus in Luke 21: 16 You will even be betrayed by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will kill some of you. 17 You will be hated by everyone because of my name, 18 but not a hair of your head will be lost. 19 By your endurance, gain your lives. Luke 21:16-18 YOU WILL BE BETRAYED, you will be HATED, you will be KILLED...but NOT A HAIR WILL BE LOST! How in the world can that be? And the wonderful answer is that Jesus is the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in Jesus - even if they die - WILL LIVE! That's good news. For the follower of Jesus, to LIVE is Christ and to DIE is GAIN! How?! Because He IS the RESURRECTION and the LIFE! Consider Hebrews 6:  17 Because God wanted to show his unchangeable purpose even more clearly to the heirs of the promise, he guaranteed it with an oath, 18 so that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to seize the hope set before us. 19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain. 20 Jesus has entered there on our behalf as a forerunner, Hebrews 6:17-20 And 1 John 3: See what great love the Father has given us that we should be called God’s children—and we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it didn’t know him. 2 Dear friends, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when he appears, we will be like him because we will see him as he is. 3 And everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself just as he is pure. 1 John 3:1=3 In the coronavirus, we are facing a scary enemy, to be sure...but we face it with an all-powerful, all-knowing, all-merciful Jesus - with a HOPE in HIM that is FIRM AND SECURE like an anchor in our soul. Let's close with a couple of C.S. Lewis thoughts on Jesus as the resurrection and the life. The first is pretty deep, so feel free to read it at the website, or back up and listen a couple of times: He is the representative ‘Die-er’ of the universe: and for that very reason the Resurrection and the Life. Or conversely, because He truly lives, He truly dies, for that is the very pattern of reality. Because the higher can descend into the lower He who from all eternity has been incessantly plunging Himself in the blessed death of self-surrender to the Father can also most fully descend into the horrible and (for us) involuntary death of the body. Because Vicariousness is the very idiom of the reality He has created, His death can become ours. The whole Miracle, far from denying what we already know of reality, writes the comment which makes that crabbed text plain: or rather, proves itself to be the text on which Nature was only the commentary. In science we have been reading only the notes to a poem; in Christianity we find the poem itself. C. S. Lewis, A Year with C. S. Lewis: Daily Readings from His Classic Works, ed. Patricia S. Klein, 1st ed. (New York: HarperOne, 2003), 139. Then we come to the strangest story of all, the story of the Resurrection. It is very necessary to get the story clear. I heard a man say, ‘The importance of the Resurrection is that it gives evidence of survival, evidence that the human personality survives death.’ On that view what happened to Christ would be what had always happened to all men, the difference being that in Christ’s case we were privileged to see it happening. This is certainly not what the earliest Christian writers thought. Something perfectly new in the history of the Universe had happened. Christ had defeated death. The door which had always been locked had for the very first time been forced open. This is something quite distinct from mere ghost-survival. I don’t mean that they disbelieved in ghost-survival. On the contrary, they believed in it so firmly that, on more than one occasion, Christ had had to assure them that He was not a ghost. The point is that while believing in survival they yet regarded the Resurrection as something totally different and new. The Resurrection narratives are not a picture of survival after death; they record how a totally new mode of being has arisen in the Universe. Something new had appeared in the Universe: as new as the first coming of organic life. This Man, after death, does not get divided into ‘ghost’ and ‘corpse’. A new mode of being has arisen. That is the story. What are we going to make of it? C. S. Lewis, God in the Dock, ed. Walter Hooper (HarperOne, 1994), 169–170. Then Aslan stopped, and the children looked into the stream. And there, on the golden gravel of the bed of the stream, lay King Caspian, dead, with the water flowing over him like liquid glass. His long white beard swayed in it like water-weed. And all three stood and wept. Even the Lion wept: great Lion-tears, each tear more precious than the Earth would be if it was a single solid diamond. And Jill noticed that Eustace looked neither like a child crying, nor like a boy crying and wanting to hide it, but like a grown-up crying. At least, that is the nearest she could get to it; but really, as she said, people don’t seem to have any particular ages on that mountain. “Son of Adam,” said Aslan, “Go into that thicket and pluck the thorn that you will find there, and bring it to me.” Eustace obeyed. The thorn was a foot long and sharp as a rapier. “Drive it into my paw, Son of Adam,” said Aslan, holding up his right fore-paw and spreading out the great pads towards Eustace. “Must I?” said Eustace. “Yes,” said Aslan. Then Eustace set his teeth and drove the thorn into the Lion’s pad. And there came out a great drop of blood, redder than all redness that you have ever seen or imagined. And it splashed into the stream over the dead body of the King. At the same moment the doleful music stopped. And the dead King began to be changed. His white beard turned to grey, and from grey to yellow, and got shorter and vanished altogether; and his sunken cheeks grew round and fresh, and the wrinkles were smoothed, and his eyes opened, and his eyes and lips both laughed, and suddenly he leaped up and stood before them—a very young man, or a boy. (But Jill couldn’t say which, because of people having no particular ages in Aslan’s country. Even in this world, of course, it is the stupidest children who are most childish and the stupidest grown-ups who are most grown-up.) And he rushed to Aslan and flung his arms as far as they would go round the huge neck; and he gave Aslan the strong kisses of a King, and Aslan gave him the wild kisses of a Lion. At last Caspian turned to the others. He gave a great laugh of astonished joy. C. S. Lewis, Words to Live by: A Guide for the Merely Christian, ed. Paul F. Ford, Adobe Digital Edition. (HarperCollins e-books, 2009), 255–256.

Hello Friends - we've made it to the weekend, not that it means as much as it used to. Our family went for a walk today - still allowed under day three of the California Coronavirus shutdown - and my sixteen year old son asked what day it was tomorrow. Upon finding out it was Saturday, he sort of sadly remarked, "I guess that doesn't really mean anything anymore." And honestly, at least in the short term - I suppose he's right to some degree. How rapidly the world has changed, and yet, how constant is the character and love of God: 5 “I will come to you in judgment, and I will be ready to witness against sorcerers and adulterers; against those who swear falsely; against those who oppress the hired worker, the widow, and the fatherless; and against those who deny justice to the resident alien. They do not fear me,” says the Lord of Armies. 6 “Because I, the Lord, have not changed, you descendants of Jacob have not been destroyed. Malachi 3:5-6 He is still on His throne. Yes, He is shaking the world, but He is good, and we are not consumed because of His great mercy. Today's Bible readings include Exodus 32, Proverbs 8, John 11 and Ephesians 1. Exodus 32 contains what may be one of the most unintentionally funny passages in the Bible - a passage that shows us 80+ year old men are capable of coming up with excuses for their bad behavior that are just as bad as the excuses of children and teenagers: 21 Then Moses asked Aaron, “What did these people do to you that you have led them into such a grave sin?”22 “Don’t be enraged, my lord,” Aaron replied. “You yourself know that the people are intent on evil. 23 They said to me, ‘Make gods for us who will go before us because this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt—we don’t know what has happened to him!’ 24 So I said to them, ‘Whoever has gold, take it off,’ and they gave it to me. When I threw it into the fire, out came this calf!” Exodus 32:22-24 Our focus passage today is John 11, and our big Bible question comes from verses 23-26 23 “Your brother will rise again,” Jesus told her.24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live. 26 Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” John 11:23-26 Things are scary right now, and if most of us are being honest, our great fear is all about death. Maybe we aren't ourselves afraid to die, but maybe we are afraid somebody close to us will, and that is why the world is shaking from this coronavirus situation. To be clear, this is NOT another flu, or a spicy flu. Consider Italy, which is being devastated by the Coronavirus. During this flu season from October to January 20 approximately 2.7 MILLION people in Italy got the flu (certainly more have since then) During that time period, around 240 people died. 2.7 MILLION infected and 240 deaths. That's bad - that's a lot of flu, and a lot of sadness to lose 240 people. However, the Coronavirus is quite different. Thus far, since January, 47000 Italians have gotten the coronavirus and more than 4000 have died. I'm NOT saying this to frighten you in the least, but to sober us up - especially those of us who are dismissing this as overhyped and overblown. This thing is bad, and it is devastating Washington, California and New York right now in a way that shows us Americans are NOT exempt in the least from this thing. So - what is our response? To be afraid?? No, actually. My son tonight sent me a fantastic video from Francis Chan that underscored one important theological truth that we should all be aware of right now: The MOST OFTEN REPEATED COMMAND IN THE BIBLE IS, "FEAR NOT!" So - HOW can we not give into fear in the midst of this scary pandemic? I'm glad you asked - let's read John 11, and then come back and talk about it. The reason that we don't give into fear in the face of a very real and powerful enemy like coronavirus is because the worst it can do is kill. You might think that is pretty bad, and it is pretty bad...but it is not an ultimate bad. It is a temporary bad. I recall when I was a teenager - the exact age of my son now - I was riding on my ten speed in the slanted cul-de-sac that our home was located on. I was wearing shorts, and spinning in ever tightening circles until all of the sudden, my bike lost leverage, and I skidded across the asphalt. Unfortunately, that skid took off almost a square foot of flesh from the side of my thigh - which was horrible painful. It took about a month or more to heal, and it was miserable for that month, because it would 'weep' or drain through my bandages and my clothes. GROSS! But you know what? That was so long ago, and so temporary, that I chuckle about it now, and don't even cringe. Death will be like that when we are standing in the promise of Jesus being the resurrection and the life. Consider this paradoxical promise of Jesus in Luke 21: 16 You will even be betrayed by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will kill some of you. 17 You will be hated by everyone because of my name, 18 but not a hair of your head will be lost. 19 By your endurance, gain your lives. Luke 21:16-18 YOU WILL BE BETRAYED, you will be HATED, you will be KILLED...but NOT A HAIR WILL BE LOST! How in the world can that be? And the wonderful answer is that Jesus is the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in Jesus - even if they die - WILL LIVE! That's good news. For the follower of Jesus, to LIVE is Christ and to DIE is GAIN! How?! Because He IS the RESURRECTION and the LIFE! Consider Hebrews 6:  17 Because God wanted to show his unchangeable purpose even more clearly to the heirs of the promise, he guaranteed it with an oath, 18 so that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to seize the hope set before us. 19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain. 20 Jesus has entered there on our behalf as a forerunner, Hebrews 6:17-20 And 1 John 3: See what great love the Father has given us that we should be called God’s children—and we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it didn’t know him. 2 Dear friends, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when he appears, we will be like him because we will see him as he is. 3 And everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself just as he is pure. 1 John 3:1=3 In the coronavirus, we are facing a scary enemy, to be sure...but we face it with an all-powerful, all-knowing, all-merciful Jesus - with a HOPE in HIM that is FIRM AND SECURE like an anchor in our soul.

In my last solo cleaning business update, I was thrilled to report two successful house cleaning estimates. I had cleaned for Ellie last week and verbally, she agreed to a recurring service starting in December. The other estimate was with Erika, whom my wife connected with through the local Facebook mom's group. I felt great about the estimate and expected a second yes, but heard nothing all weekend. Of course, doubts trickle in and you wonder if she changed her mind. Here's what I did. I texted Erika on Monday morning and said this. "How was your weekend? I just wanted to check in..." I didn't even mention cleaning and she replied with "I'm so sorry, so much going on. I meant to call you. When can we get on your schedule?" I was able to schedule her family on biweekly Thursdays along with Ellie. There's a lesson here. I could have been more direct and said. "Hi Erika, were you interested in cleaning services?" I could have been less direct. "Erika, did you have any other questions about my cleaning options?" I'm sure many of you would do this and I'm NOT saying it's wrong. I just had a gut feeling that Erika is a busy, working mom and my all-important cleaning proposal got looked at and forgotten in the chaos of her weekend. Therefore, I opted to be a human and ask how her weekend was. She may have responded with something short. "Fine." There is an emotional intelligence component required here. In my experience, this type of response shows disinterest or they just had a bad weekend. Either way, I'd give them time and follow up again in a week. Erika did not do that. She responded with enthusiasm. That's always a great sign. The result was expected. I asked about her weekend and she booked our cleaning service.My networking meetings were lively as always. I shared last time that I was voluntold to do a 20-minute business showcase along with Bridgett. I had an idea that I wanted to pitch and it went great. What if we used our showcase time together to help another member AS we showcase what we each do in our businesses? Bridgett loved it and so did Vernessa, who was the member we were going to help. We had an educational piece during this meeting where we watched a TED talk and discussed how it related to us. I had a chance to wrap up with my comments and then casually mentioned that I was going to interview James Hardy from the group on a future podcast. Several members said. "You have a podcast!" "What is it called?" Before I could answer, Eva Finlan piped up and said. "Oh, it's a really good show!" I had promoted Eva on a prior episode and shared it to my Facebook friends. She was so grateful and listened. I told them the name of this show and a handful wrote it down. After the meeting, I set up a time to meet with Eva for a 1-to-1 to connect more. I also had a quick word with Gary Volpe about his office cleaning. He had tried to get me in there, but the timing wasn't right yet. I was grateful that he was considering me. As a quick note, I also attended my first Chamber of Commerce luncheon as a new member. It was an honor to speak in front of the members and all 3 of our county commissioners to introduce myself.Read the rest of this article at the Solo Cleaning School website

Note to listeners: Shortly after the 10-minute mark, as I was speaking about calcium supplements, I accidentally said "grams" rather than "milligrams". I definitely meant to say milligrams! Happy new year! There is no other time of year that you should be more cautious about gimmicks with fitness and nutrition than this time of year. Lately, I feel like every time I look at social media there is some kind of misinformation about weight loss or nutrition and one of the things that are driving me bonkers is anything that says "detox". A "detox" is NOT cutting junk food out of your daily habits. That's not a detox! That's called eating normally. I can imagine someone saying "well, Kelly, that's just what I call it". If so, then you might as well call a car a shoe too, if words are that meaningless to you. It's pretty ignorant to just decide that's what you want to call something when in fact it is completely inaccurate to call it that. Please don't be that person who is saying "I'm detoxing this week" when what you really mean is increasing nutrient-dense foods, cutting out excess sugar, refined carbs and maybe alcohol, and increasing your vegetable intake. That's not a detox. Doing some kind of 7-day smoothie challenge is not a detox either. I don't care what kind of "detoxing" ingredients the person is putting into it. It's not any kind of detox so it's inaccurate to call it that, no matter how you slice it. I've also mentioned this one before and it's more of the focus of today's episode. I've probably seen references to this at least 15 times in the last week saying "detoxes" aren't needed because we have a liver and kidneys. That is an oversimplification. I'm going to explain why. That statement that "we don't need any kind of detoxification help because we have a liver and kidneys" would be accurate IF... · you didn't eat processed foods · you never took antibiotics · you never took any sort of prescription medication · you live where there's no air pollution or water pollution · you've lived a life with no exposure to heavy metals or environmental toxins like plastics, BPAs, BPS, phthalates, xenoestrogens, etc I also want to make it clear that by saying the above, I'm NOT saying that since we're all exposed to these things that we need some kind of detox. What I am saying is that we — as humans — rather than falling for some detox bandwagon gimmick, there are things you can do to help support the regular everyday detoxification pathways of your liver and kidneys so that they are not overloaded. So that they are able to function normally and efficiently take care of detoxifying effectively on their own by taking care of your health in ways that impact their ability to do their job. This isn't so much about "how to do a detox" but it's more about how to keep your organs doing their jobs to detoxify properly in the first place. The truth of the matter is that we do live in a world where most people by the time they hit their 40s or 50s (or maybe even sooner than that) have been exposed to enough unnatural, synthetic, chemical junk over the years (that our ancestors were never exposed to) that the liver and kidneys are probably functioning sub-optimally and we don't even know it. Also discussed in this episode: · reasons why my own kidneys were under-functioning and the red flags that were overlooked because I wasn't seeing a functional medicine doctor. · basic functions of the kidneys · the difference between drinking water and hydration · why you can drink lots of water and still be dehydrated · minerals and kidney function · precautions with calcium supplementation · dangers of calcification of soft tissues in the body · how stress and hormones relate to kidney function and proper detoxification · blood sugar and how it relates to detoxification I didn't have enough time to get through all of what I had planned to say so but to hear the rest, support the show on Patreon.com/kellywilson and it will be available to the $5 and up levels. The continuation of this will include: · signs of impaired kidney filtration · detoxification and kidney stones · the different types of kidneys stones · how sodium and potassium are related to the body's ability to detox properly · the prescription drugs that make the kidneys and liver most vulnerable to under-functioning.

8 deaths.  7 murders.  1 suicide. Season 2 is HERE and I'm NOT messing around!  I know, Christmas is still 2 weeks away but I just couldn't release this on Christmas Eve.  That's too heavy, even for me.  On December 25, 1929, Charles Lawson brutally murdered - as if there’s another way - his (almost) entire family before taking his own life.  For the rest of the story, you'll just have to listen.  Don’t forget, ‘Blue Christmas’ is thru 12/31/19!

What is inspiration and how can you find it? In this episode, I share how I was inspired to write my best-selling book "I'm NOT just a Scribble..." and what could inspire you too! 

Welcome to the first part of our conversation with Strawberry founder Pete Tattersall, recorded in the old studio building on Waterloo Road in Stockport.   Pete is an engaging, amusing and modest man, and regales us with so many stories about how Strawberry came into being. Leaving behind his (often dangerous!) gig playing career, he set up Intercity Studios in Stockport, but soon joined forces with Eric Stewart to found the new studio.  It's fascinating to hear how Strawberry began as a relatively humble set-up, but quickly grew thanks to re-investment after the successes of Neanderthal Man and the first 10cc hits. What they built at the time was the first, and only, studio outside London that could rival facilities in the capital. He gives us some interesting insights into how he and Eric captured such top-quality and ground-breaking recordings with a huge range of artists, from the Syd Lawrence Orchestra and Barclay James Harvest to Neil Sedaka, and he tells us what it was like to see 10cc develop right in front of his eyes. Other lovely treats here include Pete's memories of Consequences, including the infamous Fireworks location recording, Kevin  and Lol's best practical jokes, working with Brian Epstein, rigging up a drum booth with tin baking foil for Neanderthal Man, recording the Hotlegs LP, the inevitable slew of football songs, and 10cc's recording of harmonies, as well as sessions including I'm Not in Love. The equally interesting part two of our chat with Pete will be published next week.    

Here's what's wrong with you... NOTHING. 1. NO. You've said NO to yourself long enough. You focus more on what you DON'T or AREN'T than what you do or are.  You focus on what isn't versus what is. Your DON'Ts are keeping you from discovering your DOs. Seriously! 2. THING. Webster defines "thing" as "an object that one need not, cannot, or does not wish to give a specific name to." Is it possible that you've been trying to give this "thing" a name, and perhaps it was never meant to have a name? Perhaps it was never meant to be singled out. Instead, it's part of a grander vision, picture, or solution. It's like defining your WHOLE life, by one feeling you have today. Stop trying to figure out what's wrong with you, and instead, discover what's RIGHT with you. I'm NOT telling you to deny a symptom or "feeling" that something really is physically or mentally "wrong" with you. NO! If you feel that there may be something wrong, by all means seek the necessary help from the professional most qualified to evaluate and help you. However, no matter what...remember what's also RIGHT WITH YOU. Got it? Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.) TODAY’S SACRED S.O.L.

By Pastor Robert Rosales Scriptures - Ephesians. 6:10-18 (NKJV) - Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— - Matthew 16:18 (NLT) - Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it. - 2 Timothy 3:16 (NKJV) - All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, - Numbers 23:19 (NKJV) - “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? - Psalms 119:89 (NKJV) - Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven. - Matthew 24:35 (NKJV) - Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. - Joshua 1:8 (NKJV) - This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. - Joshua 24:14-15 (NKJV) - “Now therefore, fear the Lord, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the Lord! 15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” - 2 Corinthians 10:1-6 (NIV) - Now I, Paul, myself am pleading with you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ—who in presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you. 2 But I beg you that when I am present I may not be bold with that confidence by which I intend to be bold against some, who think of us as if we walked according to the flesh. 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 6 and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled. Message Points Signs that I'm NOT reading God's Word: 1. I'm making bad or wrong choices 2. I'm fearful regarding the future. 3. I'm tolerating sin in my life. 4. I'm looking and acting like the world. 5. I'm not hearing from God. Q1: What is the Armor of God? A1: Armor of God is essentially the Word of God Q2: What is Belt of Truth? A2: The Belt of Truth is the Integrity of the Written Word of God. Q3: How do I put on the Belt of Truth? A3: Put on the Belt of Truth by Reading and Believing God's Word. Q4: How do I use the Belt of Truth? A4: I use the Belt of Truth by Applying God's Word to My Life

In this podcast teaching we will discuss the importance of being FREE as it relates to your creativity for the LORD … and your ability to effectively reach the whole world for Messiah Yeshua. Also, Prince Handley will share a principle with you that will help you to do exploits for the LORD, enabling you for MIRACLES and power ministry for the End Times! ___________________________________________________________ IT MATTERS TO GOD ABOUT YOU GOD IS GOING TO UNLOCK YOU TODAY It matters to God about you … and He is going to unlock you today! The Apostle Paul was a free man. He was God's man. Paul was as free in jail as he was in the open air at Areopagus (Mars Hill / Acts 17:19-34) preaching the gospel. He was as free in prison as he was preaching on the streets in the marketplaces of the world. Paul knew how to transmit the freedom he had experienced with those to whom he ministered. No prison―no country―can keep the Spirit of Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) locked up … and in like manner, no prison can keep the Spirit of Jesus Christ inside it. The Spirit of God and the Word of God are never bound. From the Creation of the world the Word of God and the Spirit of God have worked together! (Torah: Genesis 1:1-3) And if you align yourself with the Holy Spirit today―if you align yourself with the Word of God today―Messiah Jesus will unlock people all around you. God wants you free, my friend. He wants you to be a free spirit so that he can bless those around you. Like things produce like things … and death cannot minister life. A person who is bound cannot minister freedom. But if you're free today, you can unlock those around you. You can minister the life of Jesus, the love of God, and the healing power of Christ wherever you go: to the marketplace, to the petrol station, to your church, to your synagogue, to your city hall. God wants you free. God does NOT want you bound: to men, to the organizations of men, to financial obligations, not even to your church or synagogue. I can say to you today that I am free. I owe no man anything but to love him. The Bible works. If you will ground yourself in the Word of God, it will exude itself into those around you. The Messiah Jesus paid too great a price―His own blood―for you NOT to be free. He shed his own blood as the Lamb of God for your liberty! Only when you are free can God anoint your individuality. Can you give God's LIFE away today? Not unless you are free. But if you are free today … and if the Spirit of God is anointing you as an individual―as a beautiful flower that God is blossoming―you can give God's life to your family, to your church, to your synagogue, to your community, and to the world. God sent his Son to earth that you might be totally FREE. God's Son, Yeshua, came to earth that you could be totally free: from fear, from man, from financial obligation, from sin, from mental oppression, from sickness, and all the works of the devil that would bind you. The Blood of Jesus contains God's life. He was born of a virgin by a MIRACLE of the Holy Spirit. His Blood did NOT contain sin from the seedline of Adam, the first human! Jesus' Blood will never lose its power … and He is going to unlock YOU today! MUSIC The Apostle Paul was a man who knew no bondage. You do NOT have to know bondage: in any area of your life! The Apostle Paul was in prison, but it was from there that he loosed the Good News of the Lord Jesus: forgiveness of sins and freedom to all the world. Paul in those four walls loosed his great writings to the messianic synagogues and the churches. There with chains upon his wrists and body, he reached the Roman guard―the great militarists of the day―with the love of Jesus Christ that knows no chains. There, in the great Roman Empire, he reached the political leaders with the love and the forgiveness of God. What is your situation today? What are your straights today? Does it look like you're hemmed in … shut up? Get your eyes up and look at God today. It's just the time when you think you have NO resources, NO strength, NO way out or up … that God loves to work for YOU … IF you will call upon Him in faith! “Call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.” - Psalm 50:15 Your bank account MAY have you bound. I'm NOT talking about poverty-consciousness … I'm talking about Proverbs 23:4: “Labor NOT to be rich.” You may be honestly endeavoring to increase your resources out of financial wisdom; however, have you asked God about it? “You can NOT serve God and money!” Maybe God is wanting YOU to spend LESS time working for money and more time doing His Work: teaching the Word; reaching people for Christ; helping widows and orphans! Just the time when your bank account seems empty … just the time when you have no encouragement from those around you (even those nearest and dearest to you) … just the time when it seems there are no facilities AND no abilities … that's the time the Spirit of God will use you more greatly than ever before. That's when God will get all the glory! You and your friends―your enemies and all those around you―will know it's not you. That's the situation where God's strength will be manifest. “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” When you're stretched out on God … you're free to loose the power of Christ to the earth! But if you're bound in your spirit, you cannot do that. Messiah Jesus wants you to walk in the liberty that he bought for YOU on the cross-stake, The Bible tells us in the Book of Galatians, “Stand fast in the Liberty wherewith Messiah has set you free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” LEARN THIS PRINCIPLE OF CREATIVE WORKS FOR MIRACLE EXPLOITS I'm going to share a principle with you today so that you can be an open vessel―a free spirit like the Apostle Paul―through whom God can flow his creative glory. Paul was anointed by the Holy Spirit in a creative ministry. Look at his preaching. Look at his writing. Look at his Apostleship. In Job 22:28 we read, "You shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto you ..." In the original Hebrew language the word "decree" is a primitive root form of the word "gazar", which means "to cut out exclusively, or to decide". In its primitve form it is used also as a "quarrying" term ... as in cutting out stone from a rock quarry. It means more than to "say" or "speak". It conveys the meaning of "cutting something out in your mind's eye"; that is, "to envision [to make a vision], to decide upon it, and confess it" ... and then it will be established unto you! How many times have you had a thought that played out? Maybe it was something good that you really wanted . . . or maybe it was something you were afraid of. I was talking to a person on the phone recently who was not a believer and who said to me, "Whenever I have a thought about something it happens to me." Learn to spend quality time meditating and thinking―visualizing in the mind's eye of your heart―the GREAT THINGS you want to do for God … or that you want God to do through you ... or for you! I share this principle to teach you how to become a vessel through whom God can do creative works. You can sit down in your own house―or in your own hotel room or prison cell―and be used of God to reach millions for Messiah Jesus from around the world. God can reach the world from your aluminum shed in the backyard. My friend, this may seem too great for you. If it is, you won't be interested in it; however, if you believe that God's Holy Spirit can NOT be confined, then learn to operate in this principle… and you need to teach this principle to your friends, family and those you mentor! I want you to notice that when Paul wrote the Book of Galatians, he said, “Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now made perfect by the flesh?” My friend, you may be the greatest man or woman that God has touched in this decade, but have you begun in the Spirit and are you now continuing in the flesh? Do NOT let religion strap what God originated in your life. God loves you so much … and He loves the millions of people that need the blessing and enlargement of God's Spirit in their life. Let me ask you this. “Are you trying to make your children an extension of your personality? Are you trying to change your husband or your wife or your family … instead of letting God change them the way he wants to?” You may be a perfectionist―and there's nothing wrong with perfectionism because God is perfect―but when stretched beyond the point of practicality it is wrong. My friend, do NOT put a saddle on what God started by His Holy Spirit. Don't try to become perfect by the working of the flesh. Many times God will place his hand upon a person and open up great doors. He will anoint that ministry and give the person great wisdom to do the works of God, and then―after a few years―that same person looks back and says, “I see a way that I can improve upon what God originally started.” Then he or she tries perfecting that ministry in the flesh. Be free. Let the love of God flow through you today. You don't have to be bound to sickness. I am as healthy as can be; by God's grace I have been healed many times … and for every thing for which I have ever needed healing. You don't have to be bound to debts. When I wanted my first house, I paid cash for it. When I want equipment to use for God's work, I pay cash for it … and I say that to the glory of God because his Word is true! He says, “Open your mouth wide and I will fill it. (Psalm 81:10) He says, “By the stripes of Messiah Jesus, you are healed.” (Isaiah Chapter 53) Don't be bound. Be FREE. God is the Creator. Let him create through you today. Let him reach the masses of the people with the love and the message of Messiah Jesus. God wants to heal you and raise you out of that bed today. He wants you to walk out of that wheelchair today. God wants to deliver you right now. If YOU are in debt, be free! Owe no man anything but love! The Blood of Jesus shed on the cross-stake bought you … and that blood will never lose its power. To be creative, you have to be perfectly free. You have to be an open vessel like the Apostle Paul. You can start being used in a creative ministry right away. Don't worry if you've never been creative before in your life. The Spirit of God works with the Word of the Creator … and produces creative MIRACLES. MUSIC Your friend, Prince Handley Podcast time: 15 minutes, 57 seconds.

I hate the word "shortcut". I don't believe in them and when I hear the word "shortcut" my guard goes up. You're probably feeling the same way while reading the title of this episode which it totally expected, but there is something in my life that over the past two years has shaved off so much of my learning curve, mentors. The shortcut I want to talk about is Mentors. I'm NOT going to talk about a course i'm trying to sell you, or some magic pill that will grow you a 6-figure business, but instead I want to talk about the power of other human beings, of finding real life mentors. *CAUTION* This episode could change your life.. www.highperformingstudent.com/sca

Today I want to address a VERY big question that people ask me…     "Is MLM saturated?"   There’s something I've started doing a lot in the evenings…     I just go for a 10 - 20-mile bike ride.    I also like to walk quite a bit so I can just listen to podcasts.    I'm studying    I'm thinking    Sometimes I'm just jamming out to music   … It's become my ME time.    I'm sure it won't always be in the evenings, but it has been for the past little bit… Especially while I've just done my big OfferMind.    So many of you guys came and it was AWESOME! About 650 people had a ticket and about 600 showed up (which is a pretty standard show-up rate for an event).   We did a good chunk in sales, and it's just been so much fun to work with all those new people.    I've really, really enjoyed it.    What's interesting is... Since then, I've needed some DECOMPRESS time.    At the time of recording this episode, I'm speaking at Carnegie Hall.    Martha Stewart is speaking   Michael Gerber is gonna be there   Dan Kennedy is gonna be there so long as his health is okay    ... This is nuts!    ANYWAYS: If you guys wanna change your life, listen to what I'm doing on this show. Go publish for ONE YEAR…  Come back to me in one year and you tell me if your financial life is not drastically different.   There is something magical about publishing.   **That's not the purpose of today's episode.**    THE GIFT OF MLM MARKET SATURATION   I wanna address a question that comes up frequently and you have likely have heard it if you've been in this space for more than six months.    I LOVE MLM.    I love it.    It's so, so, so fun.    One of my favorite things to do in MLM is to look at articles that other people have posted about why they think MLM is NOT okay.    And what you’ll find is... Most people who publish these articles are usually those who've been in it but DID NOT figure out how to have success and they feel jaded.    They feel, "Oh, everything's bad. For shame. For shame."    And they go write these terrible reviews…    That makes some people think, "Well, that just means MLM is bad."    No, no, no!    I've had NEGATIVE reviews. I've had TERRIBLE reviews.   There are always naysayers and it doesn't change just because it IS or IS NOT MLM, network marketing, direct sales, whatever you choose to call it.    There will always be Negative Nancies with Poopy Pants syndrome… That’s just how it is.    I believe it's a GIFT that people think MLM is saturated…    And I’m gonna tell you WHY.    It's NOT because it lowers competition…    THE TYPE OF MARKET I DON’T WANT   A little while ago, I had somebody reach out to me and say, "Steven, I would love to buy Secret MLM Hacks. How much money will you guarantee that I will make?"   And I was like, "What are you talking about?"    I don't know if I've told you this in the past but just stick with me for a moment here…    They said, "How much money do you guarantee I will make with your course?"    And I said, "I don't even know who you are. I'm not gonna guarantee a number. This may not be for you."    She said, "Are you telling me that you don't wanna sell it to me?"    And I was like, "Yeah, I don't think you're a good fit for it."    She's was like, "Are you serious?"    So I said, "Yeah."    I don't care if you have the money.    The way I bring somebody into my product is usually what determines what they do after they've bought the product.    MEANING: If I have to beg somebody into my downline, I usually have to beg them to do something while they're in my downline.    I DON’T want that kind of individual (and I'm not judging someone's self-worth).   I want somebody who is going to be a runner, a builder… Someone who's gonna run around and go far with this thing.    I am not trying to convince anybody to get in my downline.   I do stuff like what I'm doing right now.    People who hear my voice and see what I'm doing… They catch the vision and they find a way into my downline.    I'm NOT trying to pitch you, but you need to understand why this is such a powerful principle.    THE SATURATED MLM MARKET GIFT   I don't BEG or ASK anybody to join my downline.    You know that nasty convincing feeling that you get sometimes? We've all been there, it's okay.    You're like, "Man, I feel like I've kinda pushed them in there."    … And then they don't do ANYTHING. That’s exactly what I'm talking about.    When people say, "The market is saturated. The market is so saturated."   THAT’S A GIFT!    That’s why I went into MLM.    The fact that I can say, "MLM," and 90% of any room already has an opinion… Oh my gosh! That's huge.    I love the show Shark Tank.   In one of the episodes of Shark Tank, there is an episode where they loved this guy…   They loved his product   They loved what he was doing   They loved everything about this guy   … But they didn't fund him.   The reason they didn't fund him was one of the most powerful lessons I've ever learned in my life.    They said, "We want your product, BUT it would take us millions of dollars to educate the market enough to want to buy that product."   "We want your product, BUT it would take millions of dollars to EDUCATE the market enough to want to buy that."    That's the ONLY reason they didn't fund him.    I DON’T WANT TO EDUCATE THE MARKET   Education takes time and money.    The fact that I can walk into a room and say, "MLM," and 90% of everyone already knows what the heck I'm talking about is a GIFT.    It is a gift.    When someone says, "Oh, well, the market's really saturated." That just means the market's been validated.    That DOESN’T mean that you shouldn't go into it.   When I'm looking to see what to sell, I look for the MOST:    Competitive   Cutthroat   Bloody red market   … That I can.    I want that.    This is literally one of my strategies. I know it is one of the reasons I’ve done so well.    In the last year and a half leaving my job, we're about to cross $4 Million.    The strategy I'm teaching you right here right now is one of the MAJOR reasons why stuff has blown up so much.    It's blown up so much because I have actively pursued bloody red, highly competitive markets.    YOU DON’T NEED TO EDUCATE THE MLM SPACE   This is a deep concept but if you came to OfferMind, you know what I'm talking about.   The reason I want saturated markets is that the customer has ALREADY been educated.    I don't need to be the one educating them.    There's a HUGE market out there.    So much money is running around the MLM space and that market is constantly finding new customers.    People who were NEVER planning on being a customer.    The MLM market as a whole are educating my dream customer for me.    All I do is wait patiently for that person to get frustrated with what they've been taught.    "Hey, you want to have success in MLM? Go talk to all your friends and family."    I just wait.    I wait for that person to get frustrated enough that when they finally see my message, my Facebook ads, my YouTube videos, the podcast or whatever it might be, they look at it and they go, "You know what? I'm kind of tired. I didn't realize that there's another way to do this."   BOOM!   MLM MARKET POSITIONING    I don't need to tell them that the other way is painful because they're experiencing pain. It's one of the greatest hacks to the game EVER.    This is one of the FIRST things I do with any corporate clients. I don't just serve the MLM space. I've done a lot of stuff with lots of big people and that's one of the first things I help them figure out.    That's called MARKET POSITIONING. You need to figure out how you’re gonna position yourself in relation to the market.    All I do is wait for people to get frustrated in the MLM space and I'm ready and waitin over here on this side, just speaking as loud as I can.    I'm just shouting my message into that space.    I'm not convincing   I'm not pushing   This is one of the FASTEST ways to grow 'cause I'm NOT the one educating them.    An entire market is saying the exact same thing. There are billions, probably trillions of dollars inside MLM.    And they're the ones who are educating my future dream customer.    When somebody says, "Oh, the MLM space is really, really saturated."    GOOD!   WHY I LOVE SATURATED MARKETS   Do you know why I sell in the ClickFunnels space also?    QUESTION: How much money and manpower is being spent on educating funnel builders inside of ClickFunnels?    ANSWER: They have over 400 employees. They spend millions of dollars in overhead every month.   When someone comes in and says, "I'm gonna compete with that."    It's like, "Good luck, Chuck."    You gotta look at the firepower you're dealing with.    All I do with the ClickFunnel space is complement it. When somebody comes into ClickFunnels, I'm like, "Hey, use ClickFunnels 'cause you should use ClickFunnels and it's dumb not to. By the way, if you want a free trial go to freecftrial.com and it'll give you a free trial of ClickFunnels, freecftrial.com.”   But what I do with ClickFunnels is wait patiently for the person to just say, "You know what, I wish somebody would just build it for me."    With ClickFunnels, I compliment that market. But in MLM, I compete with that market.    I'm throwing rocks into the market. I DON’T do that with ClickFunnels. I'm NOT throwing rocks at ClickFunnels. That's dumb.    I love ClickFunnels.    My market positioning matters. So when I hear somebody say something like, "Hey, but the MLM space is supersaturated."    That is market validation!    That actually represents security.    But you're not taught that in school. I was taught that it’s bad!    I was taught that when there’s competition, I should run the other way.    WRONG!   It takes a lifetime of dedication to build the momentum that's required to build a market.    I can either spend my entire lifetime going and developing a new market OR go see where the noise already is.    What you have to understand is that a marketer DOES NOT create attention. They just align with where attention already is.    THE BENEFIT OF A SATURATED MLM MARKET       Realize the benefit to having such massive saturation. It is a benefit.    Then all I gotta do is figure out, "How am I gonna position myself in relation to that market?"   THIS is one of the reasons why my stuff is blowing up so much. I look for places where there's a lot of noise and lots of pressure.    I don't need to create that because it's already there!    One of the reasons MLM works so well is because I have purposefully targeted the MLM space, knowing that it's saturated.    One of the biggest fears I had was that I couldn’t go talk to someone because they'd already been pitched…    Q: How many books have you ever bought on one topic? My guess is that it's more than one.    It's a false belief to sit back and say, "I can't because they have already purchased."    GOOD! I should not be the first person that my customer ever buys from.    I want to help you realize there are literally decades of previous people who've built ALL this:    Pressure    Noise   Education    … For us!    I don't have to educate people on what MLM is. All I have to do is educate them on why my stuff is cool and why they should buy it. It's a gift.   I don't care what MLM you're in, I just want to go change the industry.    EDUCATE THE SECRET MLM HACKS MARKET   I know it's tough to find people to pitch after your warm market dries up, right?    That moment when you finally run out of family and friends to pitch. I don't see many up lines teaching legitimate lead strategies today.    After years of being a lead funnel builder online I got sick of the garbage strategies most MLMs have been teaching their recruits for decades.    Whether you simply want more leads to pitch or an automated MLM funnel, head over to secretmlmhacks.com and join the next FREE training.    There you're gonna learn the hidden revenue model that only the top MLMers have been using to get paid regardless if you join them.    Learn the 3-step system I use to auto recruit my downline of big producers WITHOUT friends or family even knowing that I'm in MLM.    If you want to do the same for yourself, head over to secretmlmhacks.com.    Again that’s secretmlmhacks.com.  

I'm NOT orange!!

You've made it. To where, I'm not 100% sure, but you made it somewhere, probably. Also this is the last part of our epic 3-part series on industries that Millennials are killing, or better yet, changing. I'll tell you what I'm NOT changing... My underwear! Am I right guys? Guys? GUYS???

RIGHT NOW, as of recording this, I still have people auto-joining my downline.     I'm still having people auto-buy my products!    It’s not a showboating thing… I just want you to know that the things I teach you guys on this channel are REAL.    If you’re in the program, Secret MLM Hacks, it's cool to watch you BLOW IT UP!    It's been awesome.    MLM SALES FUNNEL AUTOMATION   Routinely, we'll get people who have BIG downlines, who are trying to find another program to sell another product… And they'll come join and it gets BIGGER and BIGGER.    **IT WORKS**    It works because:     I’m doing this podcast   Of the automation that I put in - Which is the funnels.    This might not be that fast of an episode… Usually, every time I say that it's a bit longer!     But you have to understand…    I've had a few people reach out since I've started doing this stuff here, and they'll be like, "Stephen, my MLM will not let me do MLM funnels."    And I understand what they mean… But I just need to tell you guys something real quick.    If you have sold anything EVER, you used a sales funnel.   WHO INVENTED THE MLM FUNNEL?    What we have to understand is this whole concept of the MLM funnel... ClickFunnels DID NOT invent sales funnels.    The first sales funnel that ever happened was when a caveman traded a rock for a fish with another caveman.    An MLM funnel is nothing more than a sales message and an offer, THAT’S IT!    Sales message   Offer   So, when you think about what it is that your MLM has allowed you to do…    You have a SCRIPT, which is a sales message.    And you have an OFFER.     = You have an MLM FUNNEL.    The only reason why the things that I do work so well is because most of the time, people don't build their MLM funnel with very much intent.    They don't do it on PURPOSE.    And because they don't do it on purpose… It doesn't work very well.    Any "a-has" on that?    USING A SOCIAL MEDIA FUNNEL FOR EVENTS    I just finished an event here in Boise called OfferMind, it's my event.    You might have even come to it, which is awesome.    We had 600 people come   We did about 1.9 million in sales from the stage   …. It was awesome!   QUESTION: Guess what I used?    ANSWER: A sales funnel.    "But Stephen, you were on stage."    It was a sales message and an offer, therefore, it was a sales FUNNEL.    I was the sales funnel, you understand?    What I was doing there was super powerful and it was still a sales funnel.    It's sooo much better when you can take what your MLM has given you and find a way to automate the sales message and the offer.    Does that make sense?    FOLLOW THE MLM FUNNEL RULES    The only reason I'm doing this is that I want you to know, if your MLM has said, "You're not allowed to use an MLM funnel," you already are.    When an MLM is like, "Hey, you can't do that."    First of all, follow the rules.    This is NOT a game to try and break the rules with. That's NOT what I'm doing.    I'm not encouraging you to do that. I don't do that.    But you have to understand that going on Facebook Live and telling the story of how you first started using your company's product, THAT’S a sales message.   Funny enough… They're okay with you doing a social media funnel in that way.   BUT the moment you put it on a page that you own, they kinda freak out.    I'm just trying to help you understand that an MLM funnel is broader and BIGGER than most people think it is.    It is not just these ClickFunnels sales funnels.    That's a method.    HOW TO BUILD A SOCIAL MEDIA FUNNEL   I just wanted to walk you through a very simple way to build a social media funnel that helps build belief in people who might be doubting whether or not you should do this in your MLM.    So many guys might be like, "Hey, Stephen, my MLM won't let me do this," and I totally get it.    In fact, several people reached out and they'd be like, "My MLM won't let me use a social media funnel."    And I'm like, "You already are."    I'm like, "How many people do you have in your downline?"    They'll be like, "I have several hundred people in my downline, and we do... I make 10 to 20 grand a month."   And I'm like, "Cool, you already are using a social media funnel."    You're already using one, otherwise, you wouldn't have all that stuff.    If you sold anything EVER to anyone, at any price, whether it was free or paid, it was with a sales funnel.    There's a sales message and an offer, which is all an MLM funnel is.    The fact we put it on pages is a method.    PROVE THAT SOCIAL MEDIA FUNNELS WORK   Look at it that way, and start thinking through, “Okay, well, if that's what a social media funnel is, how can I create a social media funnel?"    One of the easiest ways to prove the fact that you're using an MLM funnel is…    Let's say that you have somebody in your upline or corporate HQ (something like that), and they're like, "You know what? You can't use a social media funnel. You know what? We don't want you to do these things with it."    One of the easiest ways you can prove the concept of internet sales funnels works is by using Facebook.   PLEASE keep to the rules. I'm NOT telling you to ride the line.    All I'm saying is that most MLMs are okay with you going on social media and talking about the product.    That's actually the beginning of any sales funnel.    THE BEGINNING OF AN MLM FUNNEL   There are TWO things you can do on Facebook (or any social media platform) 'cause usually, they're okay with that.    A lot of them DON’T want you to say the name of the MLM and that's okay,    Play by the rules. I do. That's why I've been able to pull it off.    DON’T try to find sneaky ways, don't try to ride the line. All I do is tell the story of when I first started using my MLMs product.    Think back to the day when that started happening for you.    I asked somebody that once, and they're like, "Well, the reason I use the product is that it has the purest ingredients. I needed the best form of ingredients because I wanna be the best human being I can be."    And I was like, "Barf, barf, barf."    That is NOT what I'm talking about. Why did you make the decision to start using the product you're using?    You gotta go back. We call it the epiphany bridge. What gave you the epiphany, "Oh my gosh, I need to be using that product"?   It was NOT ingredients. It's usually something that's going on in your life.    The MLM product that I use… I'm not gonna tell you the name of it, 'cause I keep it very third-party. I don't want you guys to think I'm selling you.    I'm trying to change the industry as a whole.    THE STORY BEHIND YOUR MLM FUNNEL    On my dad's side, pretty much every guy has or is at EXTREME risk of type 2 diabetes and extremely high blood pressure.    And then, pretty much every guy on my mom's side, have had prostate cancer.    So I'm like, "Well, that sucks. What does that mean for me?"    I take that very seriously, 'cause I'm like, "Shoot, son, I don't want any of that crap."    I remember once, watching my dad go through some surgery. He's generally a healthy guy, but that wasn't good enough.    He needed an extra level of intensity on his health 'cause it's still in our DNA.   I remember sitting there, looking at him, and I was thinking. I was like, "How can I avoid this? I don't wanna do that. How do I avoid that?"    In high school, I was 35% body fat. I had a double chin, I was working on a triple, I was a big boy and I was getting picked on like crazy.    And I remember I was walking down the hall… Outwardly, you might have seen that I was a happy kid. I was a super nice boy.    But on the inside, I was kind of this train wreck.   I remember this moment where I was like, "Enough. I'm tired of being big. I wanna lose weight."    And I lifted every day for the next nine months, I lost 45 pounds, I grew six inches. I went from 35% body fat down to 6% body fat.    So low that it's actually 1% away from considered unhealthy.    As I started growing up, and I kinda kept this habit going. I started competing in sprint triathlons and I got third in the 11th Colorado Sprint Triathlon for my age group, which was pretty awesome.   SOCIAL MEDIA FUNNEL STORIES     Do you see what I'm saying? I'm telling a story.    What I would do if I were you is lead that up to whatever product you're selling. You have a story behind why you're using what you're using.    It has NOTHING to do with the ingredients. That's not why anyone buys anything.    They buy the story, not the product.    Half the reason why people buy from you is that you inadvertently have told some stories about the product itself.    QUESTION: You wanna make a social media funnel using Facebook?    Here's how you do it.    Tell the story of how you came to use the products you're using right now in MLM. What is that story?    There was a story, not a feature. There's something in your past and there was a moment where you're like, "I don't want this," or, "I do want that" .    Whatever that might be, tell that story.    What happens in the customer's mind is, you begin to open up a gap where they sit back, and they go, "You know what? Things are not as I thought they were."   It's really powerful.    What happens is, you open this gap up where there's this window of belief, and they go, "I'm starting to feel open."    They're not gonna say that, but that's what's going on inside their brain, psychology-wise.    "I'm starting to feel like there's a possibility this could actually work for me."    That's the magic of where sale happens. That's the magic of when you finally start talking about your offer, where they go, "I can see myself doing this, why don't I just try it?"    That's the magic.    MLM FUNNEL + SOCIAL MEDIA FUNNEL    If you wanna make a social media funnel using Facebook... It's still an MLM funnel.    You tell the story of how you started using the product, and then you’re like, "Hey if you're interested, please reach out, and I'd love to give you a free sample of X, Y and Z."   DISCLAIMER: I don't know what you sell, so customize that to whatever it is you're doing. But do you see how you just made a sales message and an offer? A sales message is just a story.    Tell a story   Deliver and showed the offer to them   Give a little call-to-action. "Hey, reach on out."    That is one of the easiest ways to leverage any platform with a social media funnel. That is an MLM funnel.    It's more powerful if you can customize the page the video is on and put testimonials on there.    To the degree, you're allowed to…  You can add:    Some scarcity and urgency    A few other stories   Maybe you can have the formulator come on in and tell a little bit about it.    ... You see what I'm saying?    Follow the rules. I'm NOT telling you to go be sneaky or whatever.    I'm just telling you that an MLM funnel is broader than most people believe that it is.   That's good news, 'cause if you're like, "Oh well, I don't know that I can use this whole social media funnel thing that Stephen talks about."    You already are!    Just do it with a little more intent, automate it and then automate the follow-up.    That's one of the easiest ways to make money.    STAGE SELLING WITH A SALES FUNNEL    We sold a lot of money on stage two weeks ago.    QUESTION: What are we doing these last two weeks?    ANSWER: Following up.    I am over-communicating with my buyers. I'm saying to them, "Hey, how are you doing? What are your goals? What is it do you wanna do? Let's jump on a phone call."    Do you see what I'm saying?    You can automate that (and we certainly will in the future).    Understand that you're already using a sales funnel, and that's one of the easiest ways to make money.    If you're like, "Does this whole social media funnel thing really work?"    I dare you to put it to the test. Go tell the story of how you started using your product on social media.    PLEASE don't do the thing where you're like, "Working from home today." Snapshot selfie, selfie, selfie, on Instagram.   THAT’S DUMB.    Instead, tell the story about how you started using it and say, "If anyone's interested in a free sample, this is not meant to be high pressure, I just wanna share with whoever is interested."    Tell me you don't get some sales from that.    Storytelling is an art and science of and in of itself. That takes practice.   But just go do it. That's how I started this show.    YOU’RE ALREADY USING AN MLM FUNNEL    Just start telling the stories, and get good at telling the stories. When you do it that way, it's super exciting what happens.    You'll actually find that people are excited to buy from you. You know that when you go sell something to somebody, and you walk away feeling like you convinced them? You know what I'm talking about.    If you don't wanna feel that when you're selling to people, the answer is to get good at storytelling. Then it makes your offer feel like a gift.    Otherwise, it feels like you're convincing them… "Better hurry. Buy one, get one free by tonight. Better hurry, it's half off before this time."   And then they're like...   AGHHHH!    They drag their feet in… They know they want it (but they kinda don't) because you kinda pushed them and there's some convincing along the way.    The only reason that happens is that they weren't sold, they were convinced.    People like to be sold… They don't like to be convinced.    The whole point of this is to bring awareness to the fact that you already have an MLM funnel.    Start thinking through, design and purposefully plan your story. Purposefully plan the offer that you're gonna drop to them.   If you're serious about this and you wanna take this to a really cool level, go get the Secret MLM Hacks Program 'cause it's awesome, and that's exactly what we're talking about.    Have fun building your MLM funnel, your social media funnel, even if you can't build an official one yet.    Have fun building the social media funnel and let me know what successes you have from just going and doing that.   SECRET MLM HACKS SOCIAL MEDIA FUNNEL    I know it's tough to find people to pitch after your warm market dries up, right?    That moment when you finally run out of family and friends to pitch. I don't see many up lines teaching legitimate lead strategies today.    After years of being a lead funnel builder online, I got sick of the garbage strategies most MLMs have been teaching their recruits for decades.    Whether you simply want more leads to pitch or an automated MLM funnel, head over to secretmlmhacks.com and join the next FREE training.    There you're gonna learn the hidden revenue model that only the top MLMers have been using to get paid regardless if you join them.    Learn the 3-step system I use to auto recruit my downline of big producers WITHOUT friends or family even knowing that I'm in MLM.    If you want to do the same for yourself, head over to secretmlmhacks.com.    Again that’s secretmlmhacks.com.

Today I wanna talk about mainstream MLM advice. This is gonna be a fun episode ;) I went on Google and I googled… How do you win an MLM Top MLM strategies today … Stuff like that. I grabbed a whole bunch of blogs and I started power reading through them and finding ALL the advice they were giving. A lot of them were like, "The Top 10 Steps To Be a Top MLMer", and stuff like that. So I was like looking at the TOP 10 steps or the TOP 3 strategies or whatever. As I was looking through all of them… Some of them just made me flat out laugh. So what I’m gonna do is walk through them here… Just in case somebody's wondering if I'm throwing rocks… I AM. https://youtu.be/msZgv8szCEg The purpose of it is because, a lot of people who follow this show and have been consuming my stuff or have been in Secret MLM Hacks and then become a student… What's interesting is a lot of people will be like, "How have I never known this?" Look at the information that you have available to you. Please don't feel guilty. Don't feel weird. I'm here to help justify that. One of the reasons I started doing this is because I started looking to see what kind of information the MLM world has available. A: Not much. I was like, "Well I could probably make quite a splash" and we are. So I'm gonna walk through some of these so-called ‘Top Tips’ that I compiled. MLM ADVICE #1 One of the first things that people say will cause success is that you need to find a company with a product you LOVE. I love my iPhone… But I have never in my life had this iPhone put money in my pocket. How much you love your product has NOTHING to do with your ability to actually make it sell. Nothing. It has ZERO to do with how well it sells. Nothing at all. Have you ever walked out in a room and said, "I love this product, it's just so awesome," and your true passion is what sells it? You can get sales like that… But it’s not very likely, and usually, they don't stick very long. Passion does not equal profits. When I was in college and we were talking about the entrepreneurial space a lot. I took A LOT of entrepreneurship classes and they would say things like, "You need to be passionate about what you do." Now I understand that in the long term you should feel passion around it because it gets challenging and not much else will pull you through… But passion is not a sales strategy. Passion is not a marketing strategy. You're NOT gonna get money just because you love the thing that much. THAT was the #1 piece of MLM advice. You have to find a company that you love the product… Or you could just make an effort to share your business and product every day. Or just build a funnel and it'll pitch every moment instead of every day. Set a goal. In the last month, we had 3,000 people hit one of my new funnels. That's 100 people a day. Physically, I wouldn't be able to keep up with that. You can bend time with funnels. MLM ADVICE #2 Now, these are some good ones… Identify your target market. At first, I was like, "Sweet," but then I kept reading and it was like, for example, "Do you only want friends and family or do you want people outside of friends and family?" And I was like, "Crap, that started so well." MLM ADVICE #3 Another good one was to listen and then sell the solution. I actually wholeheartedly agree with that. Listen to people and sell the solution. I wish they had talked more about storytelling though. MLM ADVICE #4 Learn how to market. That was a good one, but then when it said to learn how to market, it was like, "Create a big list." I was like, "NO" MLM ADVICE #5 Figure out how to stand out from other distributors. I really agree with that piece of MLM advice. Figure out how to stand out from other distributors. You know what's funny is, I actually learned this as a door-to-door sales guy. I was knocking on doors and it was sooo hot. I was doing door-to-door sales selling pest control six years ago. It was the middle of the summer and it was sooo hot. So one day I went over to McDonald's just to stand in the AC and funny enough, half the other sales guys were in there also trying to cool off. We were all sitting there in this McDonald's just sucking up their AC for a little bit when this guy walks up and he goes, "Hey, I need your services. When can you come by?" Since we were a group of salesmen, we were all looking at each other wondering who's gonna take the sale. "No, no, you take it. No, no, you take it. You take it," until suddenly our boss pointed at somebody and they got the lucky laydown sale. That experience didn't leave me. We walked away and I started thinking about it. It didn't matter who that guy chose. We ALL sell the same thing with the same product, with the same fulfillment. We had the same trucks, we had the same uniforms, we had the same pitch, we had the same cheesy jokes at the same points in the same pitch. It did not matter to that guy who he bought from. Now tell me how that's different from MLM distributors? We all sell the same product with the same pitch, with the same scripts, with the same stupid jokes, with the same methods. THIS is what I realized walking away from that McDonald's that day… The other salesmen are actually my competition. But they were also my friends and family. Funny enough, I grew up with a good percentage of the people who were selling pest control with me that summer. Your upline and your downline is your competition. Finding out how to stand out from other distributors was an amazing piece of MLM advice. I wholeheartedly agree with that and that is what Secret MLM Hacks teaches. MLM ADVICE #6 Another great one was to develop a system for follow-up. I was like YES, absolutely. If you heard my last episode, I just talked about that. You need a system for follow-up. It's typically where you'll make most of your money, both in selling products and recruiting. MLM ADVICE #7 Here are some other weird bits of MLM advice that I don't agree with at all… Lead with the product, not the biz. Some people are looking for the business. I actually started that way. I don't lead with the product right now. But I know that I'll move that way at some point, but we just passed 1800 people asking to join my downline, who I've never met. And I'm leading with the business first, then the product. That's not a set-in-stone thing that that person is talking about. MLM ADVICE # I think this one actually from entrepreneur.com. I think it was the second piece of advice… Bullet point number two on “How to be successful in MLM”. Take massive action. THAT was the strategy. The strategy was MASSIVE action. What don't you have to do that on? Are you serious? That's the big secret? MLM ADVICE #9 This next one I heard when I was at an event. Everyone there was super excited like, “We can't wait till this guy shows up. He's gonna drop some amazing stuff on you about how he's been able to blow up so big," I was actually with Colton and the time comes… The guy stands up, and he goes, "Guys, here's the big secret on how I've grown my downline so big. When I'm at a restaurant," And everyone starts writing, "R-E-S-T-A-U-R-A-N-T" “When I'm at a restaurant and I see somebody eating alone, I sit down at the table." … And I was waiting… But that was the strategy. Like what kind of hot garbage? Are you serious? MLM ADVICE #10 Here’s another piece of MLM advice that I heard from a huge, famous blogger in MLM space… One of his favorite strategies is to leave business cards on windshields. I was like, "That's your strategy?" No wonder my stuff looks so crazy! MLM ADVICE #11 Another bit of MLM advice was to become a life coach. I don't want to become a life coach. I'm building a business, I'm building an asset, I'm building something that's actually sustainable. I am NOT recruiting anything that has a heartbeat. If I start recruiting people who need the opportunity, I am required to become a life coach. If I start recruiting people who are dying for the opportunity and are begging to be in my downline… They're messaging me, they're the ones that reach back out over Messenger saying, "Hey, let me in." Guess who I don't have to become a life coach for? That person. It's not that I'm NOT willing to help… But if I have to be a life coach for thousands of people, that is not a duplicatable thing. I remember one guy in one of the first MLMs I was a part of. He was like, "This is a passive asset." I was like, "Dude, you're working 80 hours a week. There's nothing passive about it." He was making a lot of money. He was making a good chunk of change every month. He's like, "Yeah, but it's passive." I was like, "There's nothing passive about the way you're doing it, man." It is because of the types of individuals he's bringing in. Not to judge Not to compare I’m not saying anyone's better than anybody else … But some people are just in a better spot in life to take action than others. We all know that's true. MLM ADVICE #12 Here's some great piece of MLM advice. Somebody was like, "You should get on YouTube. You should have a newsletter." YES. "You should blog." … But then they botched it. Having a newsletter Being a podcaster Being a YouTuber A blogger … The reason that's so powerful is that it extends your reach. It creates more noise. It helps people say, "Oh my gosh, have you seen this guy?" I will never, in my entire life ever have to do this episode again. By the time I die, there will probably be tens of thousands of people who have heard this episode. That's the whole point. I'm bending time, baby. That's why publishing's such a big deal. Q: You wanna attract people to you? A: Start something like this. This is one of the easiest ways to do it. You don't even need to have a great offer or a great business, and you'll recruit more people. Make more noise and more people will see you. I publish a lot. I'm very, very, very cutting. MLM ADVICE #13 The next bit of MLM advice: Evaluate the higher-ups. And I was like, "Yeah, totally evaluate the higher-ups." If you wanna see how to have success with what kind of company you're trying to be, definitely evaluate the higher-ups. And he was like, "Are they as committed to your success as you are?” I was like, "No. I'm not responsible for anybody's success." I'm gonna help: Answer questions Solve problems … But the best way for me to be successful is to focus on my success. That's one of the greatest fallacies of the MLM space: You'll get more successful the more people you recruit. The best way for you to be successful is for you to focus on YOU, and make you better. Are they as committed to your success as you are? That's like saying in a marriage that you're gonna focus on changing the other person. If YOU get better, you start healing the relationship a lot faster. That's why I'm so focused on who I want and don't. I require input. I require effort from those I recruit. This isn’t an offer, it is a relationship. For me to say I'm as committed to your success as I am mine… I understand the warm fuzzies it brings, but in my very strong opinion, that is a fallacy that has you recruit people that are probably not a good fit. STEVE LARSEN TOP MLM STRATEGIES Here's what I do believe you should go and evaluate opportunities on. If you're trying to find… A company to go join The success strategies … One of the things that you have to evaluate a company or opportunity on is your ability to market it. Not sell it, market it. How can you rank the product? Can you rank your ability to bring it to market? You can have all the passion in the world but not have a freaking clue how to market, and you're not gonna make any money. It could be the exact opposite. You could have lots of ability to market and have no passion BUT you'll make a lot of money. You need to have a strategy before you join ANY opportunity. How will you market that product? And if you don't know what marketing is... Marketing is how you get people to your face. Sales is what happens when they're in front of your face. My definition of marketing: Marketing is changing somebody's beliefs and prepping them so they can buy. Sales is presenting the offer and overcoming objections. That's what they are. And if you don't have a plan on how you're gonna get more leads, you're gonna die. Q: What does every business need more of, always? A: Cash flow and leads. You have got to have a strategy put in place for those. HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN MLM Next thing, I would evaluate companies and opportunities based on their ability to fulfill. I don't wanna spend all this time putting a marketing strategy together and executing it if the company has a hard time fulfilling. If they can't box up the thing and ship it, I don't care how good I can market, I'm gonna have a lot of people who are mad. I wanna evaluate a company and an opportunity based on how well I'm paid. If I'm not allowed to market a product that has an incredible compensation plan on the internet, I'm still gonna make no money. If I have not as amazing a comp plan but I am allowed to… Put this thing on the internet Say the name Create my own front ends Create funnels Make things that attract people to me … I'm gonna make a ton of money regardless of how amazing or not amazing the comp plan is. The whole point of this is that cash is the byproduct of marketing and marketing alone. Cash is the byproduct of marketing. LEARN HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN MLM DON’T MAKE A… Business card Logo Slogan Cute saying Facebook group that has some alliteration about you being some kind of successful MLM thing The only thing you need to focus on is sustainable marketing strategies. That's why I can walk into any company and help them increase their sales. I know what causes cash. When I walk into any business, including MLM, it's the same stuff. To be an entrepreneur is to be a problem solver. To be an entrepreneur is to know what the marketing strategy is that sells your thing. If you don't know what that is, that's likely the reason why you might not be where you wanna be right now. I largely automated most of my businesses… I'm not taking massive action in certain things anymore. It's because I have systems. Find a company with a product you love. It helps, but it's not required. Identify your target market. YES Listen and then sell the solution. YES Learn how to market. YES 100% Figure out how to stand out from other distributors. YES Develop a system for follow-up. YES, absolutely. Lead with the product, not the biz. That depends, this is not set in stone Take massive action. Not necessarily… I don’t. Sit next to lonely people in restaurants. NO. Leave business cards on windshields. Are you kidding me?! Become a life coach. I don’t wanna be a life coach! Publish. YES! Publish, publish, publish! Evaluate the higher-ups. YES HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN MLM WITH SECRET MLM HACKS Probably the biggest question I get is: “Steve, how are you using the internet for your personal MLM today?” To be clear, I am, but it's HOW that matters, and it's HOW that you're probably interested in.

It's Saturday which means it's "Spartan SAVAGERY Saturday". Every Saturday leading up to the Spartan 30 Mile Ultra Race, I've programmed in a nasty, physical and mental test. Each week has been getting just a bit worse and worse. This AM I hit "5 Miles The Forged Way" which is a simple 5 mile run BUT... You start with 10 Burpees, 15 Bodyweight Squats, and 20 Push Ups. Then, every 5 minutes thereafter, you have to stop running and repeat the same from above until you finish the 5 miles.It really starts to add up. I got about half way into it and the bodyweight movements no longer felt like "rest". It honestly became an all out war both physically and mentally. My legs were burning like crazy. My calves were screaming at me. Even my shoulders started to get blasted from all of the Push Ups and Burpees. I ended up finishing in an hour and 3 minutes. SLOW, but steady. I never stopped to walk. I never stopped period. Just slow and steady and that was the focus. NO STOPPING. NO QUITTING. People have asked me WHY I'm doing this 30 Mile Spartan Race in Oct??? I'm doing it for the test. I'm doing it to TEST myself. To test my body and my mind. To see what I'm truly made of. I'm NOT doing it to prove anything to anyone else. I could care less what other people think. I'm doing it to PROVE to myself that I'm capable to push through something that scares the shit outta me. Something that I've NEVER done before. This 5 mile run was rough. I can only imagine what those 30 miles are going to feel like... Bring it on mothafucka. I want the challenge. I want the test. As should YOU. Don't ask for easy. Easy won't change you. Take on the hard shit. The shit that forces you to change, build, and grow. The shit that shoves you right out of your comfort zone. That shit that forces you to raise the bar. Because it's either rise above and adapt or fade away and die. Push forward or quit. What do YOU choose? What are you doing in LIFE right now to PROVE this?

Americana artist Chuck Mead loves Christmas music and has performed and recorded it on his own and with the band that got him in the public eye, BR5-49. In today's conversation, he talks about getting a chance during one of those periods when country music labels signed country traditionalists, only to discover that radio and audiences wanted whatever's current more. Still, Mead's love of Christmas music has professionally come in short bursts for him. A single here, a compilation track there. As a songwriter, he thinks he has said all he has to say in "The Happy Holiday Song" and doesn't see himself doing an album of other people's songs or writing an album's worth for himself.  Still, the Christmas tracks he has been involved with have all been interesting including his South Texas rock steady cover of Eddy Arnold's "Will Santa Come to Shanty Town," an idea that came to him from via his A&R man on the project, Cheetah Crome from punk band The Dead Boys. The experience inspired the track "I'm Not the Man for the Job" for Mead's most recent album, Close to Home. For the album, Mead recorded at Sam Phillips Recording Studio, continuing his run through legendary roots music recording studios. Memphis isn't obvious in the album's sound, but the choice made sense because Mead served as musical director for the Broadway musical Million Dollar Quartet--a story based on Memphis Sun Studios' legends Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins.  In our conversation, we talk about BR5-49 performing a cover of Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen's "Daddy's Drinking Our Christmas Away" with Marty Stuart on an episode of The Marty Stuart Show. For the episode, I cut the conversation before the song. Here's the clip in its entirety.  For more on Chuck Mead, you can visit him at his website and his Facebook page, and you can get Close to Home, his previous albums and merch from his website's store. If you have comments, suggestions or favorite Christmas songs, you can find me at the 12 Songs homepage and Facebook page.
