All Over The World From The Comforts Of Home With TWO Way Communication!

Who said the Internet's dead? The Internet can actually be extremely helpful in building your Network Marketing business.
Keep reading for some important concepts if you'd like to build your business using the Internet.
Make sure to use the Internet as an effective communication tool.
You want to become successful building online right?
Here's the MOST important thing this Internet Mom has done to build a profitable business online.
Using TWO way communication!
The Internet is one of the most powerful communication tools to help us save time and reach more people from around the world!
Make sure you're not being mixed up with the millions of bulk email ads promising overnight riches!
This is all ONE way communication!!
You know all the worthless spam that's filling up millions of email boxes and causing more and more people to use those filter blocking high tech devices that are affecting even those of us who are offering REAL legitimate help to people who actually ARE looking for what we have to offer!
Geezzzz.....why can't people just get REAL?
It's no wonder we hear people crying.."it's getting tougher and tougher to make money on the Internet"!
This only happens when people try to building a business online without building relationships of any kind. What's worse is most of them don't even care to build relationships because they're only interested in getting what they want!
There's no TWO way communication going on!
People think an Internet business can be started by putting up a website or by sending out these long drawn out boring emails to people, even the people they've met online and think everyone's going to just jump for joy to get into their great opportunity.
This Internet Mom doesn't hide behind a screen all day sending out emails to millions of people that most likely won't even open them, and she doesn't put her Internet business on auto pilot without using the human touch!
Anyone still using bulk email to spam people into oblivion might as well just give it up right now because that's not how it works any more!
With all the new spam filters today, most of these emails won't even make it through to a real person. Not to mention how much spam email gets deleted when it does get through.
Anyone using his method to build online will find out just how cold the Internet can be when they get shut down by their ISP because of all the spam complaints!
Use caution when buying leads online too because a lot of times people don't remember signing up for something and when they receive information some of them will scream spam!
Make sure when purchasing leads that they come with all the documented proof ie: ISP address, date and time stamp. Here's what to look for

So how has this Internet Mom built a profitable thriving business with thousands of distributors from all over the world from the comforts of her home using the Internet and telephone.
Simply by building a successful long term network marketing business using the Internet as an effective communication tool to build relationships with a few key 'people' that were met online!
It's called TWO Way Communication.
What tools are used?
Autoresponders are used to help automate information while I'm sleeping, proven leads are purchased (be very careful of this and make sure you have the above information on all of the leads you buy online and only buy leads that have been tested by someone you know and trust), people are directed to websites and email
marketing is used effectively with drip campaigns. Online communities and discussion groups have also been very effective when used properly.
Building a strong foundation by really getting to know people and what makes them tick and allowing them to get to know us!
People like doing business with people they know, like and trust. Don't you?
Do business with people that you meet on the Internet by simply developing relationships with them! It's simple but remember getting to actually know people and developing a relationship takes some time!
Another very important key is to NEVER GIVE UP!
So how is all this done effectively?
By turning high tech automation with the Internet into high touch relationships. TWO way communication which builds a thriving profitable Network Marketing business.
Be different from all those generic web sites that are pushing products in people's faces and telling them how much they NEED these products and services. Has there been any TWO way communication asking them what they need?
Give people something much more than just another web site loaded with facts and figures, search engines, and links to everywhere and everything in the whole wide world.
Take someone to a place where they feel comfortable. Where they see you are for real, and not only YOU but an entire TEAM of people then you and they just might start to experience the real beginnings of building a solid foundation for the future.
So how on earth can you do this just like an Internet mom does?
By being different from all the rest. One solution is to create a sense of identity by branding yourself.
A personal web page is a great way to do this!
Tell people about yourself, your family, your team, your goals, why you do what you do and how you're going to help them!
There are website templates available now that are very affordable and user friendly so you do not have to hire a web designer and pay thousands of dollars for a fancy website presence. Keep it simple, personable and professional so that people can duplicate you!
Put your blog on your site, photos of you and your family, your business team, your company convention photos, your products, your dog, whatever you like to show people that you're real! A blog is a great way to do this. A blog is sort of like writing a diary or think of it as your memoirs! A blog is a great way to brand yourself and start building relationships online because it's a way for people to get to know you and start the communication process because they can post back to your blog.
TWO way communication!
People decide whether or not to read your blog. It's not spam sent to them that they didn't asked for. It's their choice to read it or not and it's also their choice to respond or not.
The goal with a personal website is to create a place where people will get to know you a bit better and determine if they'd like to know you even more and most importantly partner with you.
You can use your personal website to show people what your values are, what's important to you and use it as an ice breaker to building a relationship with your future business partners.
Most people already have websites provided by their companies.
These websites are usually very high quality, professionally maintained websites, filled with all the necessary information anyone could ever want to know about a business opportunity, products, services, etc. ONE way
communication!
These websites are ONLY to send out after you've started your rapport and relationship building with people. AFTER you find out if they are even interested in what your opportunity and ready for TWO way communication!
Company websites are used for informational purposes to sell the company and products, not to help people get to know YOU! They don't sell you, YOU sell you!
Think of ALL the websites you see all day long and all of the emails you receive? Do you get to know these people from these websites and/or emails? Do you see a REAL picture of the person on there or some model photo? Do any of these people ask, "how can I help you"? ONE way communication!
What if you see a personal website and it tells you a little about them as a person, you see their face, and how they are all working together as a team and how much fun they are all having together and of course all the important training content that's important too?
What if you started receiving emails from people that are really interested in YOU and how you and your family are doing and asking how can they help YOU? How about personal emails? Who sends those anymore? This Internet Mom does. TWO way communication!
Always get the people's permission FIRST! Get invited into their lives! The best way to get invited into THEIR lives is to show them YOURS! TWO way communication!
Remember it's important FIRST to find out where a person is in their life, find out about THEM first and if they are interested in getting to know you and reviewing your information. Developing relationship means picking up the telephone and actually speaking with a person. This is where the real high touch starts happening. TWO way communication.
Picking up the phone and calling to introduce yourself is extremely important and one of the key reasons why the Internet Mom has been so successful in building a very profitable business online!
Here's a couple of true stories that have developed through TWO way communication and turned into a true long term passive residual income ie: LEVERAGE
In October of 2003 I sent something out to my newsletter readers about a new company I had just joined. Some of my readers had been reading my newsletter for over five years. Well this particular company information hit the hot button of five readers. One of them was an Internet Marketing student from a newsletter she received for years.
From that one mailing the sales force with that company has grown to thousands of people and it continues to grow monthly and provides a very nice passive residual income every single month. In fact, this company had a convention recently and many people from that sales force were there and I wasn't even present! Now that's leverage!
A lady from all the way across the world in Australia emailed from an online community about the business and I picked up the telephone and called her in Australia, started the relationship and now I have hundreds of people in my organization from Australia!
All from one relationship online!
If an Internet Mom can develop true LEVERAGE through TWO way communication online so can anyone!
A profitable business bringing in thousands of dollars a month can be built with thousands of distributors from all over the world and it can all be done by developing a few key relationships online all from the comforts of home. After all that's why we call it a HOME Business right?
There are so many people out there searching the Internet for REAL opportunities, real people, a real team, a real business with a strong foundation. They are searching for you and want to communicate with YOU!
Go out and start some TWO way communication and watch your business grow all over the world!

One of my favorite quotes is from Jim Rohn who says.....
If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.-
Everyone has their own personal dreams and if it's a nice car or home or second home etc. then I'm happy for them and want to see them achieve their dream. I'm not one to judge anyone's dreams or their character based on what they desire in life.
For me personally I did have a dream of owning a home at our favorite lake in Austin on lake travis. I have had this dream for many years and it has come true. I don't think that makes me someone that people would not want to work with. It's a very wonderful place for us and we love it there. Everytime I think of our place there I get that FEEL GOOD FEELING!
I'm also very proud of the fact that I was able to buy that house with my own money!
It's taken me years and years to develop and grow into the person I've become and I came from nothing. I had no job, no experience, no corporate background, no degrees, no contacts or credibility and no confidence when I started my business in 1996. I depended totatally on my husband financially and emotionally ten years ago. I was then and still am to this day a stay at home mom. Only now I make my own income because I have my own life and when you own your own business you own your own life!
I dove in and made plenty of mistakes for the record books. Lot's of dissapointments and frustrations and it has not been easy even though I sometimes I wished I had an easy button I'm glad I didn't have one!
Because going through all the refining fire made me a better person and a successful person that most importantly will become even more successful within the next few years. Even radically wealthy as one of my mentors and industry friends Mark Yarnell says!
Some people say ten years wow! It took you THAT long? Well what the heck else would I be
doing? Working for someone else and building THEIR dreams?
I've met so many people over the years with all sorts of dreams. There's nothing wrong with wanting a nice vehicle to drive. In fact, I'll just put it out there. I want to drive a BMW. I know the type and the color and I will be driving one. That's just something I desire. I also want to build our dream house at the lake and retire there. Because we love it up there so much.
It would be really sad if someone told me they didn't prefer to work with me because I wanted to drive a nice car and build our dream home. I like nice things and I'm not afraid or ashamed to admit it.
I don't need a mansion but if I DID desire one I would eventually get one. Because I believe!
I have always had belief. Belief in God, in myself, in the industry and in other people!
So yes I think it's ok to ask a person what their dreams are and then to respect their dreams because they are private to them and I will do whatever I can to help them achieve their most precious dreams!

Where Did I Put That EASY Button!
Copyright © 2007 by Sue Seward. All Rights Reserved.
(***You may copy this article using the attached bio below)
You've probably seen that Staples commercial with the EASY button right?
Dang don't you wish you could find yours?
I sure wish I could find mine!
So many people I speak with say Sue I want to be JUST like YOU! I think wow what a compliment and yes anyone can do what I do. Thing is, everyone wants to do it in 30 days or less!!! They want to get rich over night AND do it with an EASY BUTTON!
Sorry to have to put this to you but there just ain't no EASY button in business or in life!
For the last ten years I've developed a solid career in Network Marketing and a profitable business but I had to do it the hard way by WORKING for it! School of hard knocks so to speak.
It would have been great if there had been an EASY button for all those times when I called and called and called people who were not home or answering their phone or calling me back!
for all those times people said NO, and hung up on me!
for all those times I thought how come no one is signing up? I've called about a 100 people? Try calling in the 1000's then cry on my shoulder!
for all those times people said YES I am going to do this and then quit!
for all the thousands of dollars I've spent building my business! Dang, isn't there a big pot of money somewhere under that EASY button that will jump start my business and capitalize it for the next five years?
for all those times people said I'm gonna make you rich and then fell off the face of the earth never to be heard from again! Maybe they found that EASY button somewhere huh?
for all those times when something went wrong with a delivery, or the company messed something up, or my upline didn't call me back or email me back for over three weeks!
for all those times when I was NEW at this and could not figure something out! Pulling my hair out trying to figure how to market online and do the basic stuff and no one was there to help me andthere was NO EASY button so I had to figure it out myself and I DID!
Whew! Thank God I am so determined and persistent that I persevered!
for all those times my son was young and would come crying into my office right in the middle of a conference call or three way! A man hung up on me one time when this happened! How dare him!
for all those times I was trying to balance my business with GOD, my husband and my family and STILL AM! No EASY button here.
for all those times well you get the picture!
Nothing worth having is ever EASY is it?
Especially running a real business and running one from home.
I can remember so many times I felt like throwing in the towel, this isn't easy, it's not working, no ones interested, no ones building, I'm a failure! My business isn't growing! Give me an EASY
button!!!
But no matter what, I never gave up even though it hasn't been easy!
God doesn't give us an EASY button either! HE wants us to learn and grow and develop and go through hardship. The refining fire they call it! It's how we become stronger and how we accomplish our dreams! ohhh sometimes it's a big ouch!!!
If we had an EASY button to do everything for us what kinda growth would we experience? Would we be able to hold on to success very long if we had not GROWN into our authority and/or leadership position?
If everything was EASY and given to us how EASY could it be taken away?
Think about that as you ponder your goals for the New Year. Decide to GROW and STRENGTHEN yourself instead of just reaching for the EASY buton every time you feel weak.
Ask God for His help. HE wants you to prosper so that you can be a good Samaritan. You cannot be a good Samaritan if you're broke!
Every time you think you want that EASY button think about how much STRONGER you'll be by NOT having one! Think about how many people you'll be able to help by becoming the BEST you can be! The strongeryou become the better Samaritan you'll become!
Decide that you will be successful no matter HOW long it takes! No matter how hard it becomes! "I can do all things through Christ who STRENGTHENS me"! That's the scripture that sustains me when things get tough and trust me I say it alot!
Even though I'm a success and my business is profitable there's still LOT'S of growing left to do! More goals to reach and more to learn and many more people to help!
It's NEVER EASY but it's well worth it!

GOT LEVERAGE IN YOUR BUSINESS?
Copyright © 2005 by Sue Seward. All Rights Reserved. (***You may copy this article using attached bio below)
What is this concept called LEVERAGE in a network marketing business and how does a person actually get it?You know, when I started in this profession over 14 years ago, I didn't have much LEVERAGE to speak of. Geez -- I didn't even know what that word meant.
No one talked about LEVERAGE much back then.All we really heard about was all the 'boo coos' of money you could make in MLM. It was really hyped up as a way to get rich really quick and because of this the Network Marketing industry has been called a pyramid scam by some. Ever heard that before?
This skepticism is caused by all the hype. The skeptics don't really understand the industry or that it can be a very lucrative profession when people are taught how to build a Network Marketing business properly! LEVERAGE is the ability to earn a passive residual income off the business building efforts of other people, even while you're not working.
J. Paul Getty, the oil industry billionaire, said, "I'd rather have 1% of 100 people's effort than 100% of my own." Network marketing guerrillas recognize the power of this philosophy and put it to work for themselves.
Experiencing it is the icing on the cake! It's the ultimate sign that all your efforts are being multiplied!To see it happening for other members with your team is even more rewarding.I recently received an exciting email from a woman with my 'sales force' telling me they just purchased a new home - all because of this beautiful concept called LEVERAGE in her MLM business.
Some people spend so much time boasting about how much money they'd like to make in their business. Unfortunately they don't know how to make it happen. They don't take the time to really understand the importance of true LEVERAGE. They don't understand about having to work really hard in the beginning to build something to achieve the leverage that will give them freedom in the long term!
Most of the time it's because no one has actually explained or taught them how to obtain leverage.This is the KEY concept which separates MLM from most other businesses. The fact that network marketing helps you LEVERAGE your most important asset which is your time!Here's an example of what happens when you LEVERAGE yourself.
Imagine going away on a vacation to a beautiful island with crystal clear blue water and white sand, enjoying your family and friends for several days with no phones, no emails, no cell phones, no business activity whatsoever and when you come back...You discover that all these new business partners have joined your business team! Your 'sales force' has been multiplying while you were away relaxing on the beach! Then you receive a check in the mail for their efforts because you put in the effort to build this team! I've even heard someone call it ?coconut money'!
You want some of that right?What's a business team? These are independent business owners all working for themselves only unlike a traditional business you benefit too!Doesn't that sound better than YOU doing all the work YOURSELF? It's the business team you build that makes this powerful force called LEVERAGE possible.
Without a growing business team, you're not only working for yourself, but also all by yourself.
You're doing all the work just like you would be if you were self-employed. Self-employed people have no leverage do they?For anyone who's read Robert Kiyosaki's The Business School For People Who Like Helping People, he talks about the 'E quadrant' (Employee), the 'S quadrant' (Self Employed and Small Business owner), the 'I quadrant' (Investor) and the 'B quadrant' (Business owner).When you're in the 'S quadrant' as a small business owner, you're doing all the work yourself or managing employees. Kiyosaki calls the 'S quadrant,' "The home of the rugged individual, the John Wayne quadrant of business."
We have a friend we visited with while on vacation a few summers ago. As a small business owner, he couldn't visit for very long because he doesn't have anyone to work for him while away. He hardly ever goes on vacation and never quits working for more than a couple of days at a time. If he does he loses money! Unlike those of us in MLM, our friend doesn't have a business team growing while he's away. His business depends on his efforts. He has to manage his employees. He's got no FREEDOM. If you're the typical 'S quadrant' small business owner you don't have the luxury of leaving your business alone.
If you shut the door of your store or you're not there for your service business, what happens? There's no business, no clients, no 'sales force' multiplying, no income because you've got no leverage. No leverage No Freedom!On the other hand, according to Kiyosaki, "Network Marketing is a B quadrant business."
When you put together a 'sales force' of like-minded business owners, all with the same goal of LEVERAGING their business and their lives, something wonderful starts to happen! The business starts to multiply, multiply and multiply some more. This happens without you even being there!
I have a sales force that is literally multiplying on it's own because of the efforts I put in many years ago. There were many people with this sales force that attended a recent company event. I wasn't even present at this event yet still receive a nice check in the mail every single month because of the efforts of these business people!
You can literally make money while you're sleeping! I know I do because I have a sales force multiplying in Australia and while I'm sleeping it's the NEXT DAY downunder! The business starts to take on a force of its own. Everyone knows what to do because the business owner whom you show how to get leverage, in turn shows other business owners how. This skill continues to be passed down to the next business owner and so on and so forth until the business grows bigger and bigger, multiplying endlessly and continuing to give you leverage!
So, the next time you decide to take your family on a much-needed vacation, you can really relax because you'll be LEVERAGING your time. The 'sales force' you put together will keep on multiplying while you're away giving you FREEDOM to spend time with your loved ones.
We've all heard the saying, "Time is Money," right? LEVERAGING your time puts money in your bank account!
The BIG question people ask is, how do I build a business team like this? How do I build a business that pays a passive residual income for something I do one time? The next BIG question is, how long will it take to get this leverage?Well, it certainly won't happen overnight. It could happen much sooner rather than later if you find a mentor or coach that has actually created LEVERAGE already themselves.
That means you must be teachable and willing to follow a system that will eventually multiply your efforts. What that means is letting go of total control and the habit of doing it ALL yourself.
Doing it all by yourself doesn't multiply and create LEVERAGE.
No LEVERAGE No FREEDOM remember?It's important to give your business time to develop, be coachable, motivated, consistent, determined, patient, willing to constantly learn and grow, do not quit and most of all be a team player. Plug into self-development trainings, books and seminars. That's how you'll get this fantastic concept called LEVERAGE both in your business and this will consequently bring FREEDOM into your life.

This skepticism is caused by all the hype. The skeptics don't really understand the industry or that it can be a very lucrative profession when people are taught how to build a Network Marketing business properly! LEVERAGE is the ability to earn a passive residual income off the business building efforts of other people, even while you're not working.
J. Paul Getty, the oil industry billionaire, said, "I'd rather have 1% of 100 people's effort than 100% of my own." Network marketing guerrillas recognize the power of this philosophy and put it to work for themselves.
Experiencing it is the icing on the cake! It's the ultimate sign that all your efforts are being multiplied!To see it happening for other members with your team is even more rewarding.I recently received an exciting email from a woman with my 'sales force' telling me they just purchased a new home - all because of this beautiful concept called LEVERAGE in her MLM business.
Some people spend so much time boasting about how much money they'd like to make in their business. Unfortunately they don't know how to make it happen. They don't take the time to really understand the importance of true LEVERAGE. They don't understand about having to work really hard in the beginning to build something to achieve the leverage that will give them freedom in the long term!
Most of the time it's because no one has actually explained or taught them how to obtain leverage.This is the KEY concept which separates MLM from most other businesses. The fact that network marketing helps you LEVERAGE your most important asset which is your time!Here's an example of what happens when you LEVERAGE yourself.
Imagine going away on a vacation to a beautiful island with crystal clear blue water and white sand, enjoying your family and friends for several days with no phones, no emails, no cell phones, no business activity whatsoever and when you come back...You discover that all these new business partners have joined your business team! Your 'sales force' has been multiplying while you were away relaxing on the beach! Then you receive a check in the mail for their efforts because you put in the effort to build this team! I've even heard someone call it ?coconut money'!
You want some of that right?What's a business team? These are independent business owners all working for themselves only unlike a traditional business you benefit too!Doesn't that sound better than YOU doing all the work YOURSELF? It's the business team you build that makes this powerful force called LEVERAGE possible.
Without a growing business team, you're not only working for yourself, but also all by yourself.
You're doing all the work just like you would be if you were self-employed. Self-employed people have no leverage do they?For anyone who's read Robert Kiyosaki's The Business School For People Who Like Helping People, he talks about the 'E quadrant' (Employee), the 'S quadrant' (Self Employed and Small Business owner), the 'I quadrant' (Investor) and the 'B quadrant' (Business owner).When you're in the 'S quadrant' as a small business owner, you're doing all the work yourself or managing employees. Kiyosaki calls the 'S quadrant,' "The home of the rugged individual, the John Wayne quadrant of business."
We have a friend we visited with while on vacation a few summers ago. As a small business owner, he couldn't visit for very long because he doesn't have anyone to work for him while away. He hardly ever goes on vacation and never quits working for more than a couple of days at a time. If he does he loses money! Unlike those of us in MLM, our friend doesn't have a business team growing while he's away. His business depends on his efforts. He has to manage his employees. He's got no FREEDOM. If you're the typical 'S quadrant' small business owner you don't have the luxury of leaving your business alone.
If you shut the door of your store or you're not there for your service business, what happens? There's no business, no clients, no 'sales force' multiplying, no income because you've got no leverage. No leverage No Freedom!On the other hand, according to Kiyosaki, "Network Marketing is a B quadrant business."
When you put together a 'sales force' of like-minded business owners, all with the same goal of LEVERAGING their business and their lives, something wonderful starts to happen! The business starts to multiply, multiply and multiply some more. This happens without you even being there!
I have a sales force that is literally multiplying on it's own because of the efforts I put in many years ago. There were many people with this sales force that attended a recent company event. I wasn't even present at this event yet still receive a nice check in the mail every single month because of the efforts of these business people!
You can literally make money while you're sleeping! I know I do because I have a sales force multiplying in Australia and while I'm sleeping it's the NEXT DAY downunder! The business starts to take on a force of its own. Everyone knows what to do because the business owner whom you show how to get leverage, in turn shows other business owners how. This skill continues to be passed down to the next business owner and so on and so forth until the business grows bigger and bigger, multiplying endlessly and continuing to give you leverage!
So, the next time you decide to take your family on a much-needed vacation, you can really relax because you'll be LEVERAGING your time. The 'sales force' you put together will keep on multiplying while you're away giving you FREEDOM to spend time with your loved ones.
We've all heard the saying, "Time is Money," right? LEVERAGING your time puts money in your bank account!
The BIG question people ask is, how do I build a business team like this? How do I build a business that pays a passive residual income for something I do one time? The next BIG question is, how long will it take to get this leverage?Well, it certainly won't happen overnight. It could happen much sooner rather than later if you find a mentor or coach that has actually created LEVERAGE already themselves.
That means you must be teachable and willing to follow a system that will eventually multiply your efforts. What that means is letting go of total control and the habit of doing it ALL yourself.
Doing it all by yourself doesn't multiply and create LEVERAGE.
No LEVERAGE No FREEDOM remember?It's important to give your business time to develop, be coachable, motivated, consistent, determined, patient, willing to constantly learn and grow, do not quit and most of all be a team player. Plug into self-development trainings, books and seminars. That's how you'll get this fantastic concept called LEVERAGE both in your business and this will consequently bring FREEDOM into your life.

How Making Connections Can Build You AND Your Business!

How important are making connections to your success? It's extremely important and here's why as well as some of the ways you can learn to be a better connector!
First of all this is a people business! It's all about people and what they want! If you don't find out what they want by connecting with them you'll most likely flounder in this business!
Connecting with people and finding out what their desires are, their why, their problems and their purpose and then helping them with solutions to those problems and helping them accomplish their purpose is your real mission!
There's a way to become a better connector and that is to network with lot's of people including people in your own industry that are in other companies. Yes! You read that right! This is very important! Why? Because you never never know when your paths will cross and you end up doing business together! So try not to burn any bridges! If you don't connect then you could lose out on a great potential business partner relationship! This is so crucial! Not to mention the valuable friendships you create.
Now how do we make these connections and how do we connect with people? I've been doing this for almost ten years with people I've connected and built relationships with through the Internet and phone. I've met many of these people personally and have spent time with them and their families. These relationships mean the world to me and I respectfully appreciate each and every one of them!
First of all it's important to always keep an open mind. You're a business person so make connections with all sorts of people where ever you go. If you stay closed minded and only connect with people in your own company or industry you could be losing out on some really valuable resources to help you grow yourself and your business!
Connect with people by asking questions. It's really that simple! When you ask you get answers! When all you do is tell you don't get any answers because you're not connecting with THEM.
Where do these connections take place? Everywhere you go! When you're out doing your errands, your shopping, volunteering at your children's school, at your jobs, on airplanes, in airports, on vacation,with your realtors when you're looking at property, at social functions, at family gatherings, etc.
Does this mean you are shoving your business and products down their throats! NO! You are connecting with THEM! That means asking about them and genuinely taking an interest in what they are saying and what they are not saying!
Your job is to be the messenger. It's not to push, shove, manipulate or force people. Your job is to lead, guide, prompt and suggest. It is the responsibility of each person to give willingly for their own purpose. Sometimes it takes longer with one person than another but it's up to them to decide!
Some of the ways we connect is through using technology. The Internet is an excellent way to connect with lot's of different people by using email, online marketing systems, and message forums and communities.
Some of the communities where I network and connect with people are ryze.com, mlm.com, ivwcc.com, mydswa.com, powerfulintentions.com, mlmwoman.com and there are many others. Just do a google search! These are not places for advertising, they are a place to connect with people!
When you do use technology though remember to turn the high tech into high touch and that means connecting by being interested in people and finding out what they do, where they live, do they love what they do, what are their hobbies, are they married, do they have children, granchildren, are theyhappy with how their life is going, are they looking for a change? Here's something else to consider.
Do they want to connect with you and you them?
Make connections, build rapport that turns into long term relationships and someday those relationships could turn out to be an exceptional business connection!
The phone of course is another personal way to connect! Use it often and use it properly by asking those connecting questions above!
Making connections with people could end up being the most important thing you not only do for yourself butwhen you teach others to do this too think of the possibilities!
Everyone connecting and actually helping each other find positive solutions!!! What a concept huh? It's a gain for everyone lives you help to change for the better!
Now that creates a true people connecting mission that will flourish everyone's business! If you continue to keep making connections and you NEVER GIVE UP you will achieve your dreams and help many others dreams come true too!

Mark Gorman's getting package came in and after listening to every single one of them TWICE his messages have rekindled
a fire inside of me! Every now and then we just need a little
spark to ignite us again don't we? Our flame starts to damper
a bit because of frustrations and discouragements. You know
what I'm talking about right?
One of the things he says is to Dream BIG. In fact, you've got to have a dream SO big that you cannot even achieve it and THEN..... BECOME the person who CAN!
Over the last nine years I've grown and become the leader that God wants me to be and I'm still growing.
Here's how I keep the flame going....
by attending events, hanging out with successful people,
listening to training calls and the business briefing calls,
reading books, reading scripture, listening to CD's with
people on fire with the spirit like Mark Gorman! Sponsoring
more people and teaching them to do exactly the same so
THEY will grow into the person to achieve THEIR dreams!
Over five years ago we had a dream to buy lake property in Austin Texas on Lake Travis. Today that dream hascome true. We just bought a lake house in Point Venture Texas at Lake Travis. How did this happen? Did I justwake up one day and say I have a dream to go up to Austin and I'm gonna buy a lake house today? Not quite!
It happened because I literally became the person capable of achieving that dream! Over the years, I worked hard, stay focused, committed, put on the blinders, went through the refining fire, frustrations, dissapointments, and most of all never gave up!
We almost didn't buy this house either because the first time I saw it I noticed a huge dirt pile behind the house.
This house is on the lake side but when you go in the back yard there's a dirt pile behind it. I told my husband I don't want to buy a house by the lake and sit in my back yard looking at dirt!!!
So we never looked inside that house the weekendwe were there in Austin looking at houses.
When we got back home to Lake Jackson my husband kept saying we should have looked inside that house. It could be the way we get into that lake side community, it's a great price, and he went on and on. All I could think of was sitting in my back yard looking at DIRT!!!
So finally I gave in. We called the realtor and ask her to find out WHO owns the dirt? Turns out it's a development company and they plan on moving the dirt in 6 months.
So a few weekends later we went back up to Austin tosee the house and we climbed that dirt pile to take a look see.
And there just over the dirt was the most BEAUTIFUL breathtaking view of the lake we ever saw!!!!
We decided that day to make an offer on the house and we just closed on it in May. Our first investment property to buy because of network marketing andbecause of who I've become over the years to achievethe income level to be able to start investing in real estate!
I mentioned to our lender the next BIG dream is to buy another lake lot RIGHT NEAR the water and build our DREAM HOUSE!
Well we just put in an offer for two lots right up on a hill with the most beautiful viewof the hill country and the lake!
This is where we'll build our dream house and my DREAM office overlooking the lake!
While up there at the lake house I'm still able to do business if I choose to!
I can take the business with me where ever I go if I decideto! Mainly because I absolutely love what I do! I even listened to some Ellie Drake cd's on the way home! She's another very inspiring teacher who advises us to be very coachable and to be a good student!
So it's time to stretch some more to BECOME the person that will bring BIGGER dreams to life TOO!
Never quit! Never give up on your dreams! Haveone SO big that you cannot accomplish it and thenbecome the person who can!
Most people get into a Network Marketing businessand then when things don't happen like they want ittoo or quick enough or the first little thing goes wrongor something else comes along that looks betterit's just easier to quit!
It's usually because they don't have a dream big enough and they refuse to become the personthat can accomplish their dream! No time to go totrainings or events and no money to get there,gotta have it right now, upline won't help me, thecompany closed down, the product was late gettinhere, it's to expensive, and on and on with excuses! Many years ago I remember receiving an award at ateam get together during one of the many company events I attended in Salt Lake City back in June of 1998.
Guess what it was for?
The Make It Happen award! It's framed right here inmy office! There's another one framed right above itfrom the same upline in 1999 for The Persistence award!
Get a BIGGER dream and become the BEST you can beand decide to make it happen no matter what! If a littleole mommy with no experience, no credibility, no corporate background, no degrees and no money can do it anyonecan!
Become the BEST you can be and then don't quit beforeyou make your dreams happen!
"Keep on doing good and in proper season we will reap a harvest if we do not give up"!
