Reflection, What Do You See?

A father and his young son were walking through the mountains when the son falls, hurting his leg on a rock. The young man screamed in pain and yelled out “AAhhh!” But to his surprise he heard a voice repeat his cry of ‘AAhhh!’ This of course made the young man very curious so yelled out “Who Are You?” and back came ‘Who Are You?’. Feeling a bit perturbed by this response, he yelled back “Coward” and sure enough came the reply ‘Coward’. Puzzled he looked at his father and asked “What is going on Dad?” and his father smiled and said ‘Son, pay attention”.

Looking across the valley, his father yelled to the mountain, “I admire You!” and the voice answered ‘I admire You!’ Again the father cried out “You Are a Champion” and the voice replied back ‘You Are a Champion”. The boy was Amazed but very confused so his father explained, “You are only hearing an echo, the sound of our voices bouncing back from the mountains. However this is how life really works, it returns to you what you think, say and do!”

Our lives are a Reflection of our thoughts and actions. If you want more love in your world, create more love in your heart. If you want to be treated with kindness then treat others with kindness. If you want more competence on your team be more competent in your play. This relationship applies to everything in all aspects of life. Life will give to you, everything you give to it, only it will give you even more in return.

Your life is never a coincidence because each moment is a Reflection of YOU!

The Universe knows, and recognizes, your thoughts and actions and reflects this back into your world. If you are a negative and skeptical person then the Universe will respond to you with a negative and skeptical life, or a Reflection of You. And so the opposite is true as well. If you are a positive and loving person that is always giving and sharing with others then the Universe will respond and Reflect in your world with positive and loving people and situations. Our world truly is a Reflection of what we spend our energy on in our own lives.

Reflection is defined as “The change in direction of a wave at a boundary between two different media, so that the wave moves back into the medium it came from.” And as such our lives are a Reflection of choices we make in our everyday habits that reflect the choices we make for that day. So if you want better results then you have to make better choices and change your habits that reflect on your life. It reminds me of the Michael Jackson song “The Man in the Mirror”. “I’m starting with the Man in the Mirror, I’m asking him to change his ways, and No message could have been any clearer, if you want to make the world a better place, Take a Look at Yourself and then Make That Change!” The Reflection is You!

Be a Reflection of what you Truly want in your life. If you want more Love then give more Love! If you want more truth, then be more truthful. What you give out, or put out into the Universe, will always return and Reflect into your life and those around you. Reflections start small but grow into Awesomeness over time. A Great Attitude can become a Great Mood, which becomes a Great Day, which becomes a Great Year, which becomes a Great LIFE! Everything that happens to you is a reflection of what we believe about ourselves, we can not outperform our level or self-esteem or draw unto us more than we think we are worth. We do not learn from experience but from Reflecting on our experience.

Reflection, What Do You See? Self reflection is a humbling process, it’s essential to learning why we Think, Say and Do certain things. It’s power is to reflect on our lives, choices and habits so we can learn to Better our self in the process. Reflection is the Power of the Universe to make us more of what we want in our lives and for others by Reflecting the Positive and Loving energy back to the Universe. It’s a Wonderful thing!

4 Things Your Prospects Need from You

There are few things you can do to build your business bigger and faster than “Prospecting”. The very term prospect means to “search out or look for”. In the world of Network Marketing the heart of your business is to “search out or look for” new business partners to build your TEAM. There are many different ways to do prospecting and we go through these in our Team Training in great depth. But today we want to discuss the “4 Things Your Prospects NEED from You”.

When you connect with a prospect there is always a certain amount of reservation or mistrust in the initial contact, No One likes to be sold and prospects aren’t any different. Even if you have a great funnel that introduces you and your business to someone and then encourages them to contact you for more info they will always do so with trepidation. It’s very hard to trust someone you don’t really know or have trust with. So there are certain qualities or aspects that your prospects need to receive from you so they can feel comfortable with considering you as a business partner. How you approach and connect with your prospect is going to make ALL the difference in how they respond to your offer.

These are the 4 areas you need to concentrate and express to your Prospect.

Simplicity!
Consistency!
A Game Plan!
Support! ! ! ! ! !

Simplicity is just what it implies. As you talk with a prospect they are always wondering if what you are offering is “Simple” enough for them to do it. Making your presentation as Simple to understand as possible is a very important aspect of prospecting. Your prospect wants to know “Does it work?”, “Can I do it?” and “Will You Help Me?”. So your presentation to your prospect needs to convince them that your business is So Simple that Anyone can do it and they can too. Keep it Simple by expressing an easy to understand business and process that makes your prospect feel comfortable in joining your Team. If they perceive that your business is complicated or hard to do then they will fear that it’s just not for them. Show them how Simple it is to get started, how Simple it is to get their business up and running and some Simple examples of others succeeding with your business. Making it Simple let’s your prospect know that they are capable of succeeding with you and your Team. We use the K.I.S.S. formula of Keep it Super Simple and You can KISS SUCCESS all the way to the bank.

Consistency is very important when dealing with prospects. I guarantee you they are going to search you out and see how “consistent” you are with your business and activity. Are you active on the Team? Do you promote and support your business and company? Have you been in 4 different businesses in the last 6 months? ? ? Being “consistent” and showing your prospects that you are not only there today but will be there tomorrow, next month and with them going forward is very important to creating trust with your prospects. You can do this in many ways but we find it works very well for us to produce content that prospects will find when they do “search us out”. Now not everyone is going to go out and blog or do videos and such but having content out there on social media sites and Youtube can create an image of a very consistent sponsor and create a better level of trust with your prospect. But remember, they want to know “Can I do this?” so make sure your content expresses a Simple way for them to Succeed with You and Your Team.

A Game Plan! This one item is what leads to more failure in Network Marketing than any other aspect. Do you have a game plan? This prospect is thinking to themselves “If I join, can you show me what to do?”. This doesn’t mean that you have to go out and create a detailed master plan for each and every prospect but you, OR your Team, need to have a “Plan of Action” that you can introduce to new team members to get them started with their new business. This also plays into the “Simple” aspect of prospecting. The better your game plan is to get new business members started the better your team and business will grow. Your prospect needs to know that you have a plan if they decide to join your team. Too often people join a Network Marketing business and their sponsor just throws them to wolves and says good luck. This leads to confusion and frustration with their new business and they drop out in the first month or so. Be Sure you have “A Game Plan” for them so they can feel comfortable about joining your Team!

And last but not least, SUPPORT! If your prospect is going to join your Team they need to know that you are going to be there for them as they get going. This does NOT mean that you have to hold their hand and do everything for them because that is a BIG mistake. Once they join they are going to have questions and want to know what to do next. This is where the “Simple” expression of “A Game Plan” and “Consistency” plays a role in their success. Support means that they can count on YOU to answer their questions and get them started. Support means that you are there for them when they need you and that you have a system that they can plug into and start their journey with their new business. This can easily be done on social media like Facebook by having a group page that your new members can plug into and find support from like minded and active Team members. Support doesn’t mean you are there to build their business it means that you are there to guide them along the journey. Prospecting is the life and soul of your Network Marketing business and one of the most important activities to the growth of your business. Mastering these “4 Things Your Prospects NEED from YOU” will help you build and grow your Team and create a better prospect for your business. Make it Simple for them to understand! Be “Consistent” in your presentation and Team activity so they know you are serious about helping them succeed. Have “A Game Plan” so they know that you can help them get started once they join your Team. And show them “Support” and love with a Team culture that makes them want to be a part of Your organization. Remember, all they want to know is “Does this work?”, “Can I do this?” and “WILL YOU HELP ME?”. If you can convince them you have a Simple, Consistent Game Plan that will Support them if they join then Your Team will Explode with growth.

We have structured the Simple Team with just these qualities so Everyone on our Team can prospect with confidence. It not only works for us but it also works for any and everyone that joins our Team. We are ALL about “Simple”! We are “Consistently” creating systems and content so you can prospect with confidence.

Do You Believe in Yourself?

A gentleman was walking through an elephant camp, and he spotted that the elephants weren’t being kept in cages or held by the use of chains. All that was holding them back from escaping the camp, was a small piece of rope tied to one of their legs.

As the man gazed upon the elephants, he was completely confused as to why the elephants didn’t just use their strength to break the rope and escape the camp. They could easily have done so, but instead they didn’t try to at all.

Curious and wanting to know the answer, he asked a trainer nearby why the elephants were just standing there and never tried to escape.

The trainer replied; “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”

The only reason that the elephants weren’t breaking free and escaping from the camp was because over time they adopted the belief that it just wasn’t possible.

Moral of the story: No matter how much the world tries to hold you back, always continue with the belief that what you want to achieve is possible. Believing you can become successful is the most important step in actually achieving it.

So, what do you believe? Eleanor Roosevelt said “The Future belongs to those who Believe in their Dreams!” Another great quote is “Whatever You Believe, You Can Achieve” and this is So True. Your belief is the magic that convinces your mind that things are possible and You Can Do It! The subconscious mind will believe whatever you tell it and believe to be true. It’s a wonderful power to control your thoughts and actions. Even Henry Ford said “Whether You Believe You Can or believe you can’t, either way you are still right.” Are you going to be restrained by the limitations that hold you back? Like the elephants in the story we all let silly little beliefs hold us back from Greatness.

We all have this story that we tell ourselves about our ability to achieve success in life. If you constantly tell yourself that you can’t do it or you’re just not capable then you have convinced yourself of that truth and so it will be. But the opposite can also be true. If you constantly tell yourself that “Yes I Can Achieve Success and Greatness” then you are setting out an expectation that you are capable and worthy of success. Believing in Yourself is one of the greatest powers you can posse. It’s all in the story that you continue to tell yourself and believe to be truth.

If you believe that you can achieve it, then visualize what you believe as already true because you can do anything you set your mind to do if you are willing to do what it takes to get there. We always teach to “Commit, Educate and Act!”. Belief is a strong factor in the commitment to your goals. If you believe you can achieve your goals and dreams, and you are willing to commit to making it happen, then you are well on your path to success. But the opposite is also true if you don’t believe. If you believe in Yourself, Anything is Possible.

Belief is all in your head! Work on the story you constantly run through your thoughts. Create a vision that supports that story and builds your dream life. Commit to doing the things that are necessary to get there and educate yourself on the process. Then ACT! ! ! ! Take Massive Action to achieve your dreams and goals. Create a game plan and do the “Daily Activities” required to move your dreams forward. Daily Activities will make ALL the difference in your results and keep you moving forward and not just idling through the day. Commit, Educate and ACT! It all starts with Belief!

This is the magic in Network Marketing. We are Successful because we truly Believe that we are capable and we are willing to do the things necessary to Achieve True Success. So, What do You Believe? We would love to have a conversation with you about your Dreams and Goals. Let’s discuss what you want to accomplish and how you plan on getting there. Success is a science and science is created on fact, and these facts can create the Belief you need to be Successful. We have a step by step plan to help get you on the right path and moving forward if only You Believe that it’s possible.

Changing Lives One Dreamer at a Time!

We have a Dream, a Dream so big and so inspiring that it’s just a little frightening. Not because of the fear of what might happen but because of the shear Magnitude of the results. See, we believe in Changing Lives! We believe that we are all summoned to a higher calling in the service of others. People have become so self-serving and self-centered or somewhat selfish in wanting everything or expecting everything now. Some have lost the need and will to give to others in a way that might change someone’s life. When in reality, humanity is in great need of those willing to give and share without concern for a return on their effort. Giving is the Greatest Gift of all and Changing Lives is the best blessing you can ever experience. Changing Lives Changes Everything.

We have a Dream of helping people out of the struggle that has become everyday life for so many families. We have a Dream to Elevate others to a new sense of Health, Wealth and Happiness. Our dream believes that people can be Happier and live a fuller life if they just become aware of the power of the mind. Just becoming aware that you have the power to decide if you are going to be Happy or sad and learning how to control your thoughts by habits practiced everyday. New science proves that by changing some daily habits and being aware of your thought process can begin to change your level of Happiness and how you view your life. We believe that many people are in Great need of a brighter future and more meaning in their life so they can live that Happier and Fulfilled life we all really want.

We have a Dream of Truly Changing Lives and helping others to be more, do more and experience more out of life. Changing Lives by lifting people up out of the struggle so many people are living. The struggle of paying the bills and putting food on the table, the struggle of providing for their family and keeping them safe and well fed. Many struggle with health and basic coverage that is now required by law or penalized for not having it. People are in need of better health and nutrition to rise above the challenge of poor diet and fast food that leads to greater health challenges and cost. Families are struggling to make ends meet and keep everyone healthy and happy. We have a Dream to raise people up and help people to earn an extra income, live a healthier life and just be Happy. We believe in Changing Lives!

We believe that there is a Better Way and we can share ideas and tools that anyone can use to Elevate their life. We believe that people are tired of the everyday life of a J.O.B. that they hate, trading hours for dollars that just barely meet the needs of their family. We believe that gone are the days of “Get a good job and retire in 40 years” to achieve the dream life. We believe that the formula for Happiness is all backwards and Happiness doesn’t come for working your life away to retire at age 65 and then be happy. Success comes from first being Happy and doing something you Love so that you can retire early in life and have the resources to Enjoy helping others. We believe you are over worked and under paid and most people are Not Happy with what they do and how much they get for it. We believe that we can Change Lives through the Power of Network Marketing, it’s not perfect it’s Just Better.

We spent quite some time looking at all the different Network Marketing companies out there and even joining a few just to try their products and get a vibe of what they were doing and how. After a long search we chose to become Elevated Entpreneurs, because we believe that we are truly on a mission to help people Live with Passion and live a Simple LIFE. We are changing the way people look a LIFE by creating a Passion filled LIFE Full of Purpose. Changing Lives by lifting people up and helping them to create extra income, experience travel and finding greater happiness by helping others. We are Changing Lives by Helping Others to Change Lives by helping others. It’s a Glorious thing!

We have No Greater calling in life than to help others to rise up and live a better life. We can do this through the business of Network Marketing and showing people how to live a Simple Life through it. We offer solutions to everyday problems and help people to get headed down a path of success and happiness that can truly Change Lives. Our products can elevate your Health and we offer them at very affordable discounted prices. We can elevate your financial situation by helping you start your own business and work for yourself instead of that boss you despise so much. We can elevate your Happiness via better Health and better Wealth. We believe we can help Change Lives with our program and products and helping others do the same.

We have put together so many tools and training to help you get your business started and up and running fast. We don’t have a “get rich quick” plan we have a “Here’s how you start and build your business plan”. We know that the only way we will ever succeed is by making sure that you succeed with your new business. This requires a game plan, all the tools you need and a support system that walks you down the path step by step. Your Success can not be left to chance and must be plotted like a road map to your destination. Only by helping others to achieve success do we get to pursue our Dreams of Changing Lives. Ole Zig Ziglar said it best; “You will get All you want out of life, if you just help enough other people get what they want out of life”. What a great quote and inspiration to us all. If you just help others find a “Better Way” then you will begin to change not only their life but you will also change your’s in the process. Changing Lives and Helping Others, just doesn’t get any better than that.

Can You Just Be Present?

My how times have changed. We were born in the early 60’s and grew up through the 70’s and 80’s and it was a Glorious time. Came out of high school before there ever was an internet and learned to type on an old fashioned typewritter. There were no cell phones, no computers and no internet and somehow we still got by. We used to talk all the time, because there wasn’t anything else to do. It was even a big deal to get your allotted time on the phone. You had to go in the hall because there was only one phone in the house and it hung on the wall with one LONG cord that was always a tangled mess. But we Loved to talk! We always sat and talked about everything or anything, it was a Glorious time.

Then came the internet and computers and suddenly you could communicate without even having to write a letter. Email they called it and that was pretty cool. Gone were the days of encyclopedias and libraries as Google ushered in a new way of finding information. Never forget my first computer, a Super 486, think it had a whole 16 megs of ram and a new thing called a disc drive. I remember my dad saying I wasted my money because no one needed a CDRom? He didn’t even think you needed that stupid thing called a mouse, after all you had direction buttons on the keyboard. LOL, that was funny then and still funny today. Then came the cell phone, that big bag thing that weighed 40 lbs. What a marvelous and wonderful piece of hardware that was. You could place a call from anywhere, and maybe get through, wasn’t many towers back then.

But let’s fast forward to Today! Wow, how things have changed. We went from sitting in the hall on a phone that didn’t go NO where to carrying one around in our pocket. Now you could actually place a call from Almost anywhere. And to my continued amazement Apple bust on the scene with a “Smart Phone” that would actually access the internet, Man that’s COOL! This gave birth to Social Media and instant chats with anyone any time. Now you didn’t even have to run home to see what was in your email or who was trying to chat with you, just pull out your Smart Phone and go to town. Now days practically EVERYONE sits around with their head buried in their phone or device. And thus the phenomena arises.

People have become SO Addicted to their device that people don’t talk with those right in front of them. They sit down for dinner or to visit and no one can take their eyes off the phone, they just sit there and stare at the device. Look around, it’s becoming an epidemic. Even the youth are starting to have neck problems from the bad posture of constantly hanging their head down to focus on the phone. You see couples sitting at restaurants just staring at their phone and not even visiting with each other. You get together with friends and next thing you know no one is talking because they are all just caught up in the latest on Facebook or Instagram instead of being “Present” in your company. “Can You Be Present?”

If not then Shame on you. Turn off the damn phone and enjoy the moment you have in the company of a friend or loved ones. Nothing in that phone is even close to being as important as the conversation you could be having but aren’t. Time is SO Precious and we waste SO much of it anyway that when it comes to sitting down, face to face, to be “Present” in the moment don’t waste these precious moments staring into space. How many relationships are destroyed by this technology? I would venture to say A Lot! As a man that has been married for 35 years and still best friends I can tell you that “Talking” is a major component of a relationship. If you are ignoring your significant other because you are more interested in that cute meme on Facebook I can promise you that your are headed for trouble. Take advantage of the time you have together, which usually isn’t that much, and just be Present in the moment and TALK. You will be amazed at how much better you get along when you are visiting, laughing and enjoying each others company.

So, how does this relate to Network Marketing? You knew I would get around to it! Here’s the deal, we Network by having meetings and giving presentations about our opportunity and or products. I can tell you that Nothing gets under my skin faster than someone I am trying to talk about my business with that keeps getting interrupted every five minutes by their phone. And the same goes for us as Professional Network Marketers, if you have someone that went to all the trouble to meet up with you, and hear your presentation about your products or opportunity, and all you can do is keep stopping to see who’s calling or what was that message then you lost the battle already. BE PRESENT when you are in the presence of a prospect. Put the phone down, turn it off if you have to, but give your prospect 100% of your attention. You can not be effective when you are constantly interrupted by your phone.

Same goes for the prospect. The meeting with a prospect is not about how good you are it’s about “Are they Qualified to partner with You in your business?” If they can not even give you 30 or 45 mins uninterrupted then how are they ever going to focus on building a business. When you let a prospect take control of the situation and their phone is more important than you, then you are coming from a position of weakness. You are letting them dictate the terms of the meeting. Never let them have control of the meeting. You are the one interviewing them to see if they are qualified, not the other way around. I know, to some of you this sounds harsh and you think I’m being arrogant, but I’m not. See, I am a Professional Network Marketer that takes my Profession and my Mission Very Seriously. I am not just looking for anyone with a heartbeat to be on my team. I am looking for someone So Hungry they Have to Succeed. I want the one that wants it more than me, the one that pays close attention to everything and hangs on every word you speak. The one that takes notes and ask questions that are relevant to their Success in this business. If someone can’t take put that phone away and Be Present while I put my time and effort into showing them the Best Plan Ever, then I don’t need them and neither do you.

Be Present, pay attention to the moment and listen to what others are saying to you. You might just learn some things that could carry you through to a happier place and time in life. Be Present, because tomorrow might never come and you may have wasted the last chance you had to say what you wanted to say or hear what you wanted to hear. Be PRESENT, Because that’s Respect! Just Be Present! Live today not in your phone but face to face, You’ll Be Glad You Did!

We are Professional Network Marketers that hold the up most Respect for this business and we are looking for others just like us. If you don’t have time, that’s fine cause I don’t either. But if you have the Desire to do Whatever it takes to Succeed and Reach Your Dreams, then I got all the time in the world for you. Let’s have a conversation, face to face, belly to belly to discuss how we might come together and partner up for the ride of a Lifetime with our Simple TEAM. If you would like to know more about us, Who we are and What we do and Why then you can always come visit our personal webpage at DeanAndDena.com to know more.

A Simple Formula for Success!

Need a Simple formula to build your business. Here is a 3 Step Formula to Build Your Business and you can’t afford to miss one step. It really comes down to three basic steps of 1. Grow, 2. Get Leads and 3. Get Sales. So lets discuss each one in detail.

GROW, You have to grow as a person and a Network Marketer to become a better person from the inside and you have to do this on a daily basis. This growth is where you hone your skills and mindset to expand your personal belief system and become better at what you do. This is super easy to do via reading books, online training and even speaking with your mentor or coach. There are so many great books like Go Pro from Eric Worre, Millionaire by Halftime by Presley Swagerty, or one of my favorite mentors right now Matt Morris and The Unemployed Millionaire.

GET LEADS! This is one of the most important parts of this simple formula because you have to have “leads” to speak with. I was listening to a training the other day by Mike Hobbs and he was talking about the “Two Buckets” that we have to fill each day to keep the flow of leads coming in. The first bucket is the “Results Now” and the other is the “Results Later”. The results later bucket is filled over time by doing the activities like building websites, capture pages, blogging, doing videos, YouTube and all the things you should be doing But it takes time to get your content built up where you can start to see a flow of leads coming in via your blog or videos or what ever you do to build content. The problem is that too many people spend all their time doing this “Results Later” plan and get discouraged by their lack of building because they don’t see results right away. If you are patient and work diligently then this will work over time.

But You really need to focus on the “Results Now” bucket so that you always have a constant flow of people looking at your program. You can fill your now bucket with things like your warm market, Facebook and just the people you run into everyday. Many of us have burned through our warm market and or won’t even go there but you should. The secret to working your warm market is that you Can Not be tied to the Outcome. Just show them what you are doing and let them decide if it’s right for them with no concern on your part if they join or not. With warm market all you can do is share and let them decide if it right for them now or not. And, what might not seem right now can definitely change in time. Your job is not to drag them into the business but to offer a solution or a great product and just let them decide. But as soon as you have done this with warm market then you can certainly turn to Facebook to find more people to talk to. But whatever you do, DO NOT just run to Facebook and start posting your link, nobody cares and most are put off by people like that. All you need to do is start up conversations, comment on other peoples post, thank them for liking your post, ask them what they do, find out what they like or don’t like about it and Just Start a conversation. There are Millions of people on Facebook you can meet and start a conversation about life in general then when the moment is right offer a solution or great product that might help them with a challenge like they don’t have enough time with their family, they hate dropping the kids off at daycare, they have more month than they have money or whatever you learn in the conversation that you might be able to help them with. Facebook is a vast media to meet as many people as you can talk with that you can find prospects and new team members with, Just Start the Conversation.

Flavor of the Month Club

Have you noticed how Scattered some people are with their marketing efforts? It never ceases to amaze me how people jump around on the internet with this program today, that program tomorrow and Oh Oh, there’s another new program over there. LOL, it’s simply crazy how scattered some people are and then wonder why they don’t make any money with what they are doing.

We started in Network Marketing before there was an internet and “internet marketing”. It was really different back then because there were only a hand full of companies and programs and people weren’t bombarded with new programs everyday. We did the old school approach of “speak to anyone that will listen” even going to the mall roaming around just trying to pitch anyone on our business. Now I’m not saying it was easier back then at all, it was difficult to find new prospects because we didn’t have a few billion people at the click of a mouse. We actually had to make the best of what we had to work with. We practiced the “three foot rule”, we made our list and we got to work. We didn’t have a million options of how to market so we just buckled down and got to work.

Then cam the internet and it truly was a Game Changer when it came to marketing. Suddenly we had email and websites and all the Fabulous tools to help us present or program and connect with new people. This was truly going to change everything! And it did, now we could connect with people all over the country or even the world. No longer were we limited to our surroundings and geographical location. Then came Google, what the heck was a “Google”? Little did we know just how powerful one little website would be and how it would change how people searched for information. Then the gurus said “You have to have a website” and we all tried to figure out how the heck do you do that. It Really was a Crazy time in learning about this whole internet thing.

Now the internet is grown way beyond what any of us ever thought it would be and you can find more info in a millisecond search then you can process in a months time. We all finally figured out how to build a website and get our self listed “online” so that we could now learn about SEO and keywords and on and on it goes. Oh, the good ole days of learning how this “internet” thing was working out. Fast forward to 2016 and things have gotten so much easier and now there’s Facebook and Social Media all over the place. It really is the most connected this world has ever been. Now you can keep up with Everyone in a moments notice and follow people you have never even met in person but are friends with anyway. What a Great way to start a relationship with the world.

But my friends here is the challenge. It is So Easy these days to throw up a website and launch a new “business” with a flashy and hype filled banner that new programs appear almost everyday. People are bombarded with new offers so often that it makes it hard to focus on anything much less the task at hand. Having been online now for many years and having the same Gmail account for years and years I have been added to so many list that it fills my spam box everyday with the next Great offer to come along since . . yesterday. It’s kind of funny and sad all at the same time how people jump from program to program thinking they are fixing to miss out on instant fame and fortune. Sorry guys but this is one of the worst mistakes you can make.

I know some really good people that promote so many different programs and money games that you just can’t take them serious because tomorrow they are going to show you the next great money maker. The average person finds it challenging to build one business much less 5 or 10 different businesses. The internet is a Great tool for connecting and building a relationship with people all over the world and should be used for the great tool that it is. But don’t let it kill your business by keeping you scattered and unfocused. Don’t fall for money games and fly-by-night companies that promise the instant riches if you just join today. We have watched SO MANY companies come and go over the years it’s not even funny. So many people loose money to these games played on hype and get rich quick schemes it kills people’s dreams and check book with broken promises. The Flavor of the Month comes and goes every single month only to disappear with everyone’s money in a matter of no-time, It’s just Crazy what people will fall for.

We get approached almost daily with the new Flavor of the Month business idea or company and we understand how hard it is to stay focused BUT we don’t play those games. We can promise you here and now that we will NOT bring multiple offers and new businesses to you because we are Super Focused on what our goals are and how we are making them happen. We might bring you a new tool from time to time if we find something that really works for us but we are Focused on the prize and we’re In It To Win IT! Focus is the true secret to Success in Network Marketing. If you are not focused and committed to what you are doing then your are just wasting your time and hurting others by misleading them with a get rich quick mindset. Get Focused and You will find Success in your Network Marketing business.

Focus is the single most important skill you can learn to be successful. When you are focused on your company, products and Your TEAM then you will see growth in what you are doing. If you are scattered then your team will be scattered as well and no one will achieve there goals like that. People will follow, and do what you do, not what you say but what YOU DO! If you are focused and you make all the webinars and calls within your company, constantly building your TEAM and training them to be great leaders then you will find Massive Success in this profession. But if you fall for every new Flavor of the Month that comes along, always promoting something different and new then no one can figure out what the heck you are doing anyway. Don’t let the Flavor of the Month kill your business and destroy your reputation as a Professional Network Marketing machine.

We are So Totally focused on Home Business right now. We are out to build a Large and Dynamic TEAM in here and we promise to be here today, tomorrow and next week building our TEAM and working this business. We are 110% focused on what we are doing and you should be also. The Flavor of the Month club does not meet here and we are only interested in working with those that are committed, wholeheartedly, to their success. Be a Professional about what you are doing and people will take you Seriously and join you because of it. If you play games you will attract game players, if you get Serious then you will attract the Serious partners that want to achieve Massive Success and become Professional Network Marketers.

Should You “Plant Your Flag”?

There are a lot of people that are doing “professional” coaching right now and this is becoming a Big Business around the industry. We believe that coaching is a very important part of your success in Network Marketing and it can make a big difference in your ability to break-through and reach massive success. We all need coaches to help get us moving toward our goals and doing the things that need to be done so our business thrives instead of stalling. There is also a difference in “training” and “coaching” that we see going on in the industry. You can be trained via education and studying in the skills that will put you on the right path, and this is very important. But a Coach can help you take that training and develop a game plan that will put that training to work.

Both are very important because you need the training to learn the business and develop the skills that can help you move forward in Network Marketing and you need coaching to help you put these skills to work. But there are a lot of people right now that are Focused on coaching and developing their coaching business. They are building products that help their clients achieve more and build their business, no matter what “opportunity” or “program” they are in, and that is their focus. There is nothing wrong with this at all, it has become Big Business in this industry. So here is the question we asked in the title. “Should You Plant Your Flag?” And what we mean by this is; Should you anchor and or promote your business opportunity via your marketing efforts?

Many of the “Coaches” today say that you should never even mention your company or opportunity in your videos or promotions and just focus on serving the masses. Well, that is fine if you just want to be a “coach” and sell your online products to everyone in the business. Some of the biggest names we know and follow in this industry preach this philosophy but mainly because they are trying to sell their online products and coaching series to the masses. They try and serve Everyone in any company thus increasing their audience and sales. This is fine if you are just interested in coaching and promoting your own products and marketing to anyone in any program. Many are preaching the “Attraction Marketing” idea of putting out lots of value via their content and attracting people to them so they become the hunted instead of the hunter. AGAIN, nothing wrong with this if that is what you are trying to accomplish and be a big name coach. Often they say “never mention your company because companies fail and you will loose your business.”, and there is some truth to that as well.

But we choose to “Plant Our Flag” and be a product of the products and company that we believe in. Is this risky to some degree? Absolutely because companies do run into problems, owners get greedy and sometimes companies fail, it’s business. But you can use the same “Attraction Marketing” to attract people to you And your company via the value in your content and promotion of your chosen company. We do this all the time, read down the different post here on our blog and you will see what we mean. Here is the difference, we did our homework and due diligence on the company we have chosen, and we believe they are good people with a great and exclusive product that are interested in disrupting the industry with fair and ethical treatment of the distributors. This has given us a great confidence in who and what we are promoting.

Attraction Marketing is a great way to not only find prospects but also show them who you are and what you are all about. We promote our company very heavily so that when people hear about this new company and go searching on Google or other search engines, then they Are going to run into our content. People might hear of a new company and have interest in the company or the product BUT, they join with people that they see as leaders or at the least, very active in the company. We put out lots of content that is relative to success in the industry And with our chosen company. We use keywords and many phrases that are picked up by the search engines so that as people come looking Boom, there we are. And we have Planted Our Flag with our company and products so that we can attract people that are interested in our mission to succeed with our company.

So the conversation continues, “Should You Plant Your Flag?” or not. We see both sides of this conversation and we understand why some do and some don’t. If your mission is to become a big time coach to anyone in the business then I guess you should not be tied to just one company and associate your strategy with one brand. But if your mission is to achieve Massive Success in the company you have chosen to work with then branding yourself as a leader in that company does make sense. One of the biggest problems we see in the industry, and with this strategy, is that people often associate with too many different companies at one time and it just confuses prospects on what their real mission is. If you are promoting three different money games, two different ad programs, and several different products and programs then nobody is going to take you serious when you come out and talk about your new company. This is a big problem and way too many people are so scattered that no one can figure out what they are really doing. If you are going to “Plant Your Flag” then by all means, Plant Your Flag and stay focused.

We have planted our flag with Our Home Business program that promotes a Simple LIFE through Networking. We promote Wealth through one of the most exciting rewards programs ever introduced in Network Marketing. Don’t believe me just search the term “Simple Team” via Google and see who pops up, bet you will find Dean and Dena on page one. That’s just how we planned it.

There is a Massive wave coming in the this opportunity and we are positioning a team of leaders and partners to take advantage of this Massive Growth within this business, and we would Love to have you on our TEAM! This is a Great company with ethical and honest leadership that really cares about the distributors in the field. And we are on a Mission to Elevate the lives of millions of ordinary people all over the world through a True Passion for a Simple LIFE! We have Planted Our Flag with Simple TEAM and Engage Micro Daily and we believe So Should YOU!

How to Avoid Optional Failure

If You Fail, is it by Choice? We hear about this “high failure” rate in Network Marketing all the time but in reality, most people who “failed” did so by their own choosing. It seems that the term “failed” in Network Marketing is used very frequently to describe those that fell pray to the system. Maybe we should try and define the term “fail” when relative to Network Marketing. The dictionary says that Fail is: “to be unsuccessful in achieving one’s goal” or “neglect to do something”. This is a pretty good definition of “failing” because it is usually the “neglect to do something” that keeps people from Success in Network Marketing. This term is usually used when someone didn’t do the work, choosing again to watch TV instead of working their business.

So, is failure a choice? Yes and No, yes because to often the failure is a result of just not trying or not willing to do the things that need to be done to feed your business. No, because sometimes people never get the training on what to do and how to do it to have a Successful Networking career. We see people joining all the time with great intention because they just want something different in life than their soul sucking J.O.B.. But just because you are unhappy at work and want to quit everyday doesn’t always transfer into a true commitment to succeed in business. Sometimes the same people that didn’t want to do any work at their job are also Not willing to work at their Home Based Business. They join with great intention and big dreams only to realize that there is work involved to be successful so they just return to their comfort zone and go back to watching TV instead. We know, because we have been there too. The TV and one’s comfort zone are much easier than actually learning how to run a business from home.

Network Marketing has the ability to create Life Changing incomes and lifestyle, but there is a price. Not that it’s Rocket Science or anything but you do have to learn new skills and put together a game plan that will get your business up and running to build an organization that pays Big Money for your efforts. We personally know people in this industry that make a million dollars per year with their Network Marketing business. This is life changing income that practically anyone can achieve if they are just willing to Commit, Educate and ACT. The only way you could ever make this type of income outside of Network Marketing is either illegal or takes a massive college education and years to create, plus you would be hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. And after all that, all you did was create a high paying J.O.B. that most people don’t enjoy anyway.

If you want to get ahead and live a Dream Life then you have to be willing to learn new skills and most importantly ACT upon them. We call it the “Four Year Career” because you can find the right mentor, learn some new skills and create Massive Action that can launch Your Networking career in such a short time. Here is why most people “fail” at their Networking business. They treat their business like a game a social event or lottery instead of like a Serious Business. They just show up when it’s convenient, or they feel like it, instead of working their daily task that will get their business going. They only do what is easy or comfortable instead of doing all the things that Have to be done to see Success. Many use motivational approaches like “I hope” or “I’ll try” instead of “I Will” or “I AM” going to make my business a Success. Or, a real killer, they just want to “do it” their way instead of the way their mentor teaches that has proven results over and over. Again, too often this “failure” was self imposed.

To fail in Network Marketing is much easier than to Succeed because anyone can “choose” to do what is necessary or they can choose not to do it today or tomorrow or when ever the case. But the opposite is also true, Anyone can Succeed in Network Marketing if only they will choose to step out of their comfort zones and get busy on the task at hand. Don’t fall for shinny objects and promises of overnight riches because these are just games and schemes that will take your hard earned cash and leave you in a pool of regret and failure. The best way to succeed is to find the right mentor, someone you can relate to and who will lead you down a path to starting your business up and moving it forward toward Success. Commit to your goals, Educate Yourself on the process and Take Massive Action that moves your business forward.

Most people fail because they don’t have a big enough “Why”. The first thing you need to do is figure out “why” you are going to succeed and not accept excuses for failure. You need to really understand your why and define it down to the smallest details. What is it that is going to keep you going when things get difficult or your comfort zone cries out for your old self? If your “why” isn’t big enough then your old self will creep back in and take over telling you lies like, “it don’t work” or “I can’t do it”. Make a vision board or post pictures all around your work space that reflect this “reason” why you are going to be successful, no excuses accepted. Without a “Why”, and a really big one, you are destine to fail and miss out on that Dream Life you want so bad.

Here is our “Why”. We have been involved with children fighting cancer for the last 10 years. No we don’t have a child with cancer but God led us into this situation to help these brave fighters and their families fight this horrible disease. We formed a legal 501 c3 and became a non profit called Battle for a Cure Foundation. We work to help support these brave fighters in the battle of a lifetime through the dark journey of cancer. We deliver Hope Boxes, we support families with needs in the hospital, we hold several big events for these families throughout the year and we do Lots of great work to help these families out. We Love what we do and want to do more. We are a non profit and so we rely on donations from individuals and businesses to support our cause and it’s a constant struggle to keep funds available to do this great work. Our “Why” is to support Battle for a Cure and fund this great organization and all the great work we are blessed to do. You can learn more about Battle for a Cure by visiting our site here or check us out on Facebook here. This is a BIG WHY and it keeps us going and will not allow us to fail because we have so much at stake. What is Your Big Why? Maybe it’s a new house or a sports car, maybe it’s to support your family or church that needs help. But whatever it is Define It so you know why you are going to Succeed, no excuses accepted.

Failure really is an option. You can choose to work hard and do the things that have to be done to Succeed OR you can choose to let your old self win again and let your TV and comfort zone steal your Dreams, it’s Your Choice. Failure is never permanent or fatal so if you have failed before, learn from it and get back up to fight again. The only time you really fail is when you accept defeat and refuse to fight another day. Failure only wins if You let it.

We work daily to find people that truly want to make a difference in the world and learn the process that leads to a Dream Life of their making. We have all parts of the puzzle so that You don’t have to guess what works or what tools you need because we have already done all the work to put a plan together. Your Success of Failure really depends on You but we want to make that journey as easy and fun as possible. Connecting with the right kinds of people can enhance your chances of Success or chance of failure so choose wisely. We are only looking for those that are looking for us and we sure hope that is You.

We’re Playing the Long Game

Is life really just a game? Like the game of chess we make our moves and we strategize our plan hoping for a desired outcome or Win at the end. Some people have Great plans while others just go about life reacting to the moment with no real plan at all. We all have to make decisions about how we are going to play this game based on the outcome we desire. Sometimes people play the “short game” and are scattered about by instant convenience and the drama of the day, where others play “the Long Game” and plan their moves with great strategy. They have goals, daily task, a defined “why” they are in the game at all and they work diligently to execute their game plan. They are “Playing the Long Game”.

Network Marketing has these aspects as well and we see far too many people playing the short game of “get rich quick” or “instant fortunes” via money games and hyped up promises of wealth. When in reality, to Succeed in Network Marketing you must play the long game to win and achieve your dreams. We have many who join our business with great intentions and hopes but thirty days down the road they are ready to quit because they didn’t “make it” in Network Marketing. What a fallacy in the networking industry because it takes time and effort to actually build an organization and team that can pay you the residual income that Everyone desires.

The money games are everywhere and use hype and fluffed promises of over night riches and instant millionaires with fancy homes and exotic sports cars. But the majority of people we know that are succeeding with their home based business did their homework and made a plan to get from where they are now to where they wanted to be. We call this “Playing the Long Game“! We spent the last two years looking at different programs and companies, even joining a few, just to see what their mission is and how they related to their distributors. We were looking for a newer company that didn’t already have a large following but still had the solid foundation and core systems to position themselves for Massive Growth. We talked to owners and distributors alike to find out what they see in the industry and how they would work to maximize the potential for growth. We also wanted to know how they were going to accomplish this in the networking field and within their business platform. We wanted to know how they were going to be compliant with the FTC and have a true business model of customers, affiliates and distributors to maintain a long lasting platform for their business. These are all very serious questions and often over looked by the distributor in the field but very important to the Success of any business.

There is NO shortage of Network Marketing companies out there and you can find about 27 Million entries if you Google “best network marketing company” today. If someone is just looking for another program to join they can do this in about 1.5 seconds via a search, but that doesn’t tell the whole story. Again, are you playing the short game or the Long Game? Picking the wrong company based on a flashy website can be a major setback and cost you lots of money with little success. Or having a company fold on you because they were just playing money games or just a recruiting platform with no real customers. The FTC (Federal Trade Commission) is really scrutinizing networking companies and trying to weed out the bad ones that are really just ponzi schemes or money games. This makes it really important to research the company that you are going to put your time and effort into so you know you have a solid future ahead.

We live in an instant society where everyone has become accustom to right here, right now commerce and satisfaction. People are able to get just about anything they want at the push of a button these days and then think that they can join a business and see instant results. Sorry but it just doesn’t work quite that way in Network Marketing. I wrote a blog about this some time ago that compared Network Marketing to Working Out at the gym. You can not go on a diet for a month and expect to reach all your health goals just to return to your old self after this short time. And in Network Marketing you can’t join a business for a month and then declare it a failure because you didn’t make ten grand right out the box.

But, You Can Play the Long Game! You can find the right company with the right sponsor and coaches that can teach you the skills to help you make a plan that will get your new home based business started up and running toward Success. This is a process and takes a little time but the rewards are Greater than any J.O.B. you will ever have. We find that it is “Time Freedom” that most people really desire in life because most are tired of running the rat race and working their tail off to build someone else’ dream-life. If You Commit to the process and Educate Yourself on the skills and tools needed to succeed, then you can learn to take Massive Action to reach Your Own Dream Life. We call this “Playing the Long Game“!

We have done the homework and researched the companies to come up with the most Exciting opportunity in Network Marketing today. We have talked with the owners and people in the field to make sure they are executing a plan that is going to bring True Value to the market place and build a platform that will sustain a profitable business for the long term. We made sure they have considered everyone in the process from the basic customer to the team builder so that Everyone gets rewarded for their efforts. This company needs Unique and Consumable products that bring real value at realistic prices so people can afford them. We also wanted to make sure the purchases make sense and are not over priced just to support the commission structure. They also need to have the core systems that will be required to take this program to the masses on a massive scale and be able to produce when they have to. We wanted a company that will have Global implications to expand their market and be able to reach out to customers and distributors all over the world. We were looking for a company that was “Playing the Long Game” and not just playing money games.

It’s been a long search for such a solid company with great potential but we have planted our flag and found our home.

We are looking to build a Massive Organization with the Simple TEAM and Engage Micro Daily and yes, we would love to connect with you about this exciting new opportunity. You can also visit our personal website at DeanAndDena.com to learn more about who we are and what we are all about.

We Are Playing the Long Game with Simple Dream TEAM and we would Love to have You join our TEAM!
