“I Can’t Believe I Head Butted That Guy”

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Sunday was a beautiful summer day that screamed “Get Out Of The House!”, little did I know (for me), it also screamed “You’re Probably Going To Head Butt Someone Today”, but it did. Here’s how it all went down . . .

(Before I say anything further, let me just say this. Never in my life have I gotten into a fight or head butted a person. I guess, I can’t say that anymore.)

Me and my lady friend Kim got out of the house in the late afternoon for some sun and sushi, so we headed to downtown DC and went to one of our favorite little sushi spots called Nooshi on 19th street.

We had some fried crab and corn wontons, threw back a few Saporro’s, and a few rolls of sushi (including my favorite - spicy crunchy yellowtail).

As we sat there, not even in my wildest of dreams could I have imagined what was soon to transpire.

So we get up and decide to go for a walk. Kim wants to go to a little hookah bar in Adams Morgan called Soussi, so that’s where we head.

About 25 minutes later we’re there. We go inside. We get a table. She orders a drink and mixed berry flavored hookah and we hang out.

Truthfully, I was tired and wanted to go home, but instead of falling asleep I decide to get me a Redbull and vodka.

Not to long after they started a series of old school rap songs that I hadn’t heard in years, so we stayed a little longer (3 hours or so longer)

About 10 at night we head out to catch a cab back home, but I decide I want to get a BIG slice (and when I say big I mean HUGE) of pizza at restaurant about a block and a half away, so we walk over.

I order and in walks a knuckle head with a girl. They’re arguing. Things get heated and the sucker starts throwing things at her.

The guys in pizza shop tell them to leave.

He’s sloppy drunk and ignores them.

A few second later he hits the girl and before I can think I go over and knock the dude on his ass and hold him down one with one arm. After about 30 seconds I let him up, but keep him away from the girl.

While I turn my head he head butts me. Without thinking, I return the favor and throw the punk out.

Two minutes later my pizza is ready. I pay for it. I tip the guy. The store owner thanks me, and Kim and I walk out.

Now, why do I share this little story with you? It’s certainly not to say I’m one for violence and fighting, or to say “hey look at me I saved the day”, no.

Simply this.

Life calls for action.

You’re in your business or you aspire right now to be in one NOT so much because you logically went through the pro and cons of starting a business, but rather, because you were driven by something deep down inside to act.

Maybe at first you only saw the potential to make money.

Maybe it was because you aspired to become rich.

Maybe it was because you wanted more control and freedom and you saw those things available to you.

Maybe it was because you wanted to be hero for your family and friends.

Whatever it was, it sparked a feeling. Do you remember how liberating that felt?

In that split second you didn’t think about what might happen, you just went for it. You acted.

In that moment, your life changed, all possibilities opened up for you, for that moment you were the success you desired, but probably didn’t even know it (I know I didn’t).

And one truth I’ve found that supersedes all others is your success lies in that feeling in that moment when you acted. Harnessing it. Never letting it go. Never letting anyone or anything diminish it.

You keep that feeling and guess what happens?

You keep acting.

You loose that feeling and you stop.

Attaining your hearts desires is simpler than we think.

It’s not a trick or strategy that you can learn. It’s that feeling of limitless possibility that excites each of us to act. You keep that fire burning and WILL do everything it takes to get to your destination.

Why?

Because ONLY there do all obstacles and past experiences fad into nothingness freeing you to simply go do what must be done, and . . . When you’re there success becomes both inevitable and effortless.

That’s where to magic lives.

Acting to stop a girl from getting beat up in the pizza shop without thinking about it and you doing whatever must be done to create the future you see in your dreams are no different.

Simply relax, LOVE where you are now, focus that feeling and ride it to your ultimate life.

How to use your blog to recruit . . .

Friday, May 8th, 2009

A few days ago in our regularly scheduled “MLM Underground” training call we discussed the proper use of blogging to recruit and enhance your home business. Make no mistake blogging is extremely powerful as a business building tool “if” used properly, here’s how to do it right . . .

One of the biggest mistake I see people making in their blogging efforts is “why” they use them. Most people tend to think of blogging as a primary traffic generation strategy, and it can be, but it’s not THE best use of a blog in our type of business.

You should think of  blog traffic more like icing on the cake. The primary and MOST powerful use of starting and using a blog in your business is it’s ability to create a powerful testimonial for you. Let me explain . . .

When I started my first successful business here’s exactly what I did. On an almost daily basis I blogged about something relating to my business, at the top of that blog I would always note the number of people in our team, and then carry on with the message.

Sometimes if I had new recruits I would create a formal blog welcome to my new team mates by listing their names and welcoming them to the team.

If there was a co-op, advertising strategy that was working well for me, you better bet I put in on that blog.

Why? Well, I haven’t told you how I used my blog to recruit yet (we’ll get to that in a second), but along with using a blog to recruit I also constantly referred my team members there for any and all updates on our business.

It was a central meeting point. As a result my team always checked the blog to see what was going on in our business. This was important for two reasons:

First, easy access to important current information pertaining to our team, and second as team wide social proof.

They came to the blog and saw the number of people on the team growing and welcome messages to our new team members and subconsciously it helped raise their belief level about the business they were in.

It’s sometimes easy for a new recruit to get discouraged without encouragement and the blog helped give them that encouragement they needed. As a result they “believed” in the business, and took more proactive action to go out and do what we were doing to grow which translated into a higher rate of duplication in the business and longer retention.

So let’s recap so far, we’ve got a blog where we’re blogging about our team, what we’re doing to advertise, we’re “training” our team members to check the blog often for advice and encouragement and as a result their using that motivation to go out and build. This causes the team to grow faster, stronger, and better.

What do we have? That sounds like a pretty darn powerful testimonial to me. And that’s the primary use of the blog as far as recruiting is concerned as I mentioned earlier.

The mistake most people make is they want to blog for traffic, which you can do, and I’ll share a few tips to doing that better in a few, but not it’s best use for recruiting. Here’s how to use your blog to recruit . . .

I’d generate leads directly to my own lead capture page or my company’s lead capture page. Once I saw my lead opt in I would send them a personal email to tell them a little bit about myself, our team, and our business. In that email I would always include a link to my blog so my prospects could get an inside look at who I and our team was doing.

This is powerful as heck for a couple reasons where recruiting is concerned.

First, people are inherently voyeuristic. They wanna spy, so let them. By sending my prospects to my blog they now had the opportunity to get to know me and my team without me even being there. As a result, when we did have an email correspondence or they called me they already knew me.

I’ve always found this to be a MUCH better option than cold calling leads. I let them get to know me first.

Second reason this is powerful is based on a principle called “The Power Of Documentation” which states we as humans tend to take things which we read as more truthful than things we just hear.

In other words, a prospect who goes to your blog and reads about you and your team is going to take what they read there at face value where if you’re on the phone telling them the same thing they’re most likely saying “Yeah right

If you’ve ever called leads and had that question come up of “Well why should I join you?” Having and sending your prospects to your blog first will virtually eliminate this objection and ignite powerful curiosity and intrigue about you and what you do.

So, when it comes to using a blog to recruit, it’s best us is as a secondary traffic strategy. You get the lead, then you send them to your blog for a powerful testimonial.

So I can hear the question welling up “What should I put on my blog to start?” Simple, talk about yourself, your company’s products and service, why you love your company, your team, AND here’s a key . . .

Ask your upline or downline to write you a quick note about why it’s great to work with you and put it on your blog.

You do that, and you’ve covered all your bases. Not only are your prospects learning about you, why you like what you do, your personality, your team, BUT they’re also SEEING other people saying great things about you. Third party validation about you is a powerful thing.

Simply doing this and nothing else, I was surprised to see that after about six months of consistent blogging my blog received about 300 site views per day from people finding online via search engines. I did nothing but blog, but just because I had content on the blog I had tons of people finding it for free, and as a result, calls out of the blue from people saying “yeah I found your blog, what’s up with your business” (kinda cool)

So let me share a few things you can do to improve you search engine rankings for you blog posts to enhance your free traffic.

First, do a little keyword research using the Google Keyword tool. Find a few keywords related to business and use those keywords in your blog title, and a few times, along with a few synonyms for that main keyword in your blog post.

One secret strategy that’s really increased my blog traffic personally is using images in my blog.

On blog posts where I insert an image to correspond to the blog post keyword I tend to get about double the traffic. So find a few images related to your blog post keyword.

Name those images as your main keyword, for instance if my blog post was based on the keyword “internet network marketing” then then I would find 3 images I could use for that keyword and I would name the images internet-network-marketing1.jpg, internet-network-marketing2.jpg, internet-network-marketing3.jpg etc.

Search engines rank you based on how many other websites link to your post related to your keywords, so when you create a new blog post, write an article with the same keyword and submit it to the major article directories with a link going back to your main blog post.

Find a few other blogs in the niche and comment on a few post and link back to your blog post.

Create a facebook, twitter, myspace, squidoo account and post some content based on the keyword and link those back to your blog post.

You do that for you blog and you’re ahead of 99% of marketers.

So now that we’ve got traffic down, let’s talk about $$$, how do you make money with your blog? I think the simplest way to make money with blog from the outset is to simply add Google Adsense to each blog post, not so much because you’ll make a ton of cash from it, but when people do click on your Google Adsense ads on your blog you’ll make a few bucks which is powerful positive reinforcement for your efforts in the early going.

It’ll fuel you forward. You’ll see money coming in and you’ll get excited.

The best long term way to make money with your blog though is . . .

Integrating your blog with your email marketing efforts. I love using the one two punch of email marketing and blogging because it allows you to change the dynamic of your email messages to your prospects from a one way conversation to a two way conversation by giving your prospects the ability to comment back to you.

Getting people involved and commenting on your blog is a powerful way to build trust. Think of your blog as a conversation and you’ll see the bond between you and your prospects growing stronger daily and for it your income will increase.

There are two powerful benefits of turning your emails into a blog conversation.

The first is simply when people get involved and proactively comment they’ve taking a powerful step into your world. The second benefit is a little more sneaky, but extremely powerful.

Say you send a prospect to your blog to share an important post today and 15 people comment on that post. Great!

Well what if you take the email that you sent people to your blog and add it to your auto responder?

Now the leads that join your list 3 months from now will get that email automatically via your autoresponder email sequence you set up and when they get to the post not only are they going to get to participate in a conversation you set up on autopilot, but they’ll also see all the people that commented prior and say . . .

“Wow! I just got this email and 15 people already comment there must be a lot of people listening in.”  and hence conclude you’re a good teacher and someone a LOT of people listen to.

So there’s more I could go into on blogging, but I think that’s plenty for now. If you’d like a complete blueprint on how to use your blog to recruit, let me know below, maybe I’ll put one together, and no matter what you do if you haven’t checked out this free website. Go here now.

I’ve Got An Embarrassing Secret To Admit

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

But, if you pay attention, my little embarrassing secret might just be one mistake you don’t make, and something that you can use to make your business a more profitable one in the very near future.

The story begins a few years ago. I took a trip to Las Vegas for my Birthday with my “lady friend” Kim. The trip itself was a blast, but the thing I’ll remember forever about that trip was “how” she gave me her present. She got me good . . .

I think that year was the first year that the iPhone hit the market and I kept telling her that I was going to get one, but I never pulled the trigger.

So I remember waking up in our MGM Grand Hotel room and there she was excited to give me her gift. I don’t know how she hid it, but she did.

I remember her going over to her luggage and pulling out a box. Of course, I thought that she had gotten me that iPhone I was so excited about.

She hands me the box. I’m excited. I open it.

It’s a carrying case and some accessories for an iPhone. I’m confused. She says “I know you’ve been talking about getting an iPhone, so I wanted to get you some cool gear to go with it”

Inside I felt disappointed, but outwardly to her I said “Ohh thanks so much.” So I’m opening up my iPhoneless accessories, I check them out for a few minutes, a little sad “She didn’t get it, ohh well” and start planning the day when she hands me another box.

This one was heavier, I open it, and it’s my new iPhone!

Speechless and excited to say the least.

Had she just given it to me right out I would have been excited, but putting me through the ringer made my day. Sometimes it’s not what you get but how you get it.

Anyways, fast forward a few years.

I’ve had my iPhone and it starts to act up. I can no longer hear people who call unless my phone is on speaker phone. Annoying, yes, but I’m not a big phone conversationalist anyways so I don’t bother to get a new phone.

Well, a few weeks back, Kim, out of the blue, decides to take me for my upgrade and buys me one of the 3G iPhones. (I know, I’ve got a pretty cool lady)

And so, now for the embarrassing secret part that’s going to make you money . . .

I get my new iPhone and the cool thing about the new version is you can download apps, and games, and stuff . . .

Took me a week to figure out how to do actually do it (even though it’s simple), but I start downloading all sorts of stuff, and of note there’s a game called “iMob” where the aim is to act like a mobster, make money, beat up other mobsters, etc . . .

It’s one of the THE most downloaded games for the iPhone. So I pick up and start playing it and I’m embarrassed to admit, in the last week I’ve probably wasted 10 hours on this addictive sucker, but that’s not all . . .

I look in the games app store and there’s a new game called “Mafia Wars”. Literally the exact same principles and play as the first game iMob. I download that sucker and waste another 10 hours playing that.

I know, I know, an entrepreneur should be making better use of his time, but sometimes you’ve got to goof off, so here’s why this matters to you.

iMob and Mafia Wars are two of THE Most downloaded games on the iPhone.

Essentially all one company did was do the exact same thing as another. They followed a model that worked, got there name out there, were innovative in the least, and now I’m sure, for it, they have a thriving business (hey I’ve wasted 10 hours on it, I’m sure MANY MANY other people have too.)

To create an almost “instantly profitable business” you’ve really got to create your own product. Why?

Instead of justing buying and calling leads (i.e. flushing your money down the toilet) or using someone else’s funded proposal system (building their business and just getting an affiliate commission in the process) you create a product and for every sale you make you make all the money instantly AND you have an asset.

Take a look at these two scenarios:

Scenario 1: Say you’re using someone else’s system and for every 100 leads you spend $100 and generate five sales, even if you’re getting a $20 commission per sale and breaking even, which ain’t bad you’ve still got to wait for them to send you a check before you can use that money again.

Scenario 2: You create your own product, you set the price, say it’s $97, you spend $100 to get 100 leads, even if you only make 3 sales instead of five you’ve now made your money back plus $200 profit, got 3 customers of your own (far superior to having someone buy someone else’s system) and you’ve gotten 100 leads at $2 profit per lead.

Which sounds like a better situation to you?

I’ve told this to several people, to which they always respond “I don’t know what to create a product about” to which I reply create a product based on what your customers want. Look at what others are selling and make your own version of it.

Advantage = speed and no risk. But, some people think they’ve got to be totally unique which is 100% WRONG! (i.e. Mafia Wars vs. iMob)

The Mafia Wars creators didn’t go out and test and test and test until they got a unique game. They just looked at what was getting a lot of market share and created their own version. SMART.

Your customers don’t care about you being unique. They don’t want you or the competitor. They want the information to serve their goals or help solve their problem.

If you’re hungry driving down the highway and you see a burger joint do you care if it’s McDonalds or Burger King? No, if you’re hungry enough you go eat and so do your customers.

Only question is, will you be the one to serve them their meal? Don’t try to be unique. Serve people what they want and you have the makings of an instantly successful business. Here’s your roadmap to doing just that.

To the Top, With Daegan Smith…

It isn’t often that one gets the privilege of getting phone time with someone who has done Massive things in this industry. I’m not talking just made money,

I’m talking about someone who has literally been a PIONEER in the MLM Industry creating marketing courses and providing training that have literally helped thousands Breakthrough in the MLM Industry, & achieving crazy results like generating up to 2500 leads PER DAY.

It was only 17 months or so ago, that I was a complete and total NOBODY, trying to figure out how to make money online, and after my initial complete and UTTER FAILURE

With Google Adwords, losing $500 in less than 14 days, I was nervous to say the least

to do it again.

And then one day, my search began and I found Daegan Smith, a guy who claimed to be the King of Never Calling a Single Lead.

I’d never heard of him before, but I liked what I saw.

Daegan, through his analytical, yet laid back style, inspired the confidence I needed

to Try Google Adwords Again.

I purchased his Internet MLM Success Course and I can tell you that it was worth every single penny, and THEN SOME.

Thanks To Daegan’s Course, I actually was able to not only do google adwords again with confidence, but I actually was generating leads on a consistent basis, and making a profit.

I Completely attribute my breakthrough with Google Adwords to Daegan’s Course.

Little Did I know that I would end up talking to him on the phone only a few months later.

Because of a close connection with my Upline, she told me to get in touch with Daegan so he could help me out with a few things. Immediately I was excited to talk to him personally because how often does that happen?

I KNOW how Valuable his time is. And at the same time, I was nervous because, lets face it, Daegan is extremely accomplished and that can be a little intimidating.

As Luck would have it, We played a little phone tag at first, but once we connected, I was in “STUDENT” Mode.

I’ve gotta say, there is a peaceful, yet professional calm about Daegan, that made me feel at ease.

And then the “GOLD” Started to flow.

It was like talking to an old friend, that truly wanted to share and help in any way he could.

He answered questions that I had held back asking other mentors, for fear of appearing “dumb” but Daegan’s disposition is that of someone who truly has a passion for marketing on the internet and a desire to help people break free in the industry.

He was just so generous, so helpful, and so genuinely interested in what was holding me back and providing stories and scenarios to make me see things from a different perspective that I was just thinking how Grateful I was to be in that moment at that time.

There were SO many takeaways I got from the conversation, but there was one little bit that

I want to share with you…

I asked him what his “Overall” goal was…

Was it to live the DREAM, the Financial Freedom, and all the stuff that comes with it…

And he simply said ” I was just trying to figure it out. How the marketing stuff on the internet

worked” and then, it started working…”

And the take away I got from that is, sometimes we get caught up in the Dream and don’t get very far when all we need to do is set a few short term achievable goals and tweak them until they work well..

Once that happens, it all comes together.

And he also emphasized that consistency was key.

I want to personally thank You Daegan, for being so extremely GENEROUS with your time. I promised I would let the world know what a COOL Guy You are, there is no doubt in my mind that you ARE A King, with a heart of Gold.

And if there is ever ever ever anything that I can do for you, you’ve just made a new connection for life.

See you At The Top Daegan :)

=============================

Barbie,

When this little email popped up in my inbox I blushed and then I smiled.

The truth is, your dreams don’t half to be grand to bring big things.

If you think of your business like a puzzle to figure out you’ve always got a new challenging opportunity to look forward to tomorrow. That’s always been my personal drive more than money.

Your expectations are not built on falsities, instead they are built on the personal challenge to figure it all out.

That struggle is enough to fill my heart. Maybe yours too . .

And you know what?  I am I pretty cool guy.

If anyone else wants to chime in on why I’m so cool I’m always happy to hear what I’ve spent my adult life learning and sharing means to you.

(And I’m only half joking)
