The Snow and the Birds at Lake Travis in Austin Texas today!
Well, it's certainly not as much snow as some of you have had on the East coast but it's Beautiful especially here in Austin Texas the end of February!
The Birds and I really Enjoyed the moment!
Too bad the kids are all at school!
Spring is on the way and so is new life!
Just read in 'Jesus Entrepreneur - Using Ancient Wisdom To Launch And Live Your Dreams'
About the NOT SHALT rule!
You should never make a decision when you are:
Sad
Hungry
Angry
Lonely or
Tired
When you feel like life is beating you down here's a few practical spear-dodging tips Laurie Beth Jones mentions in her book -
1. Tighten up your relationship with God.
Saturate yourself with God's words of power and comfort, as David did when he was hiding out in the hills, as Jesus did in his final night in the Garden. This is ultimately the only relationship that matters, so make sure it is solid!
(I do this too with something as simple as watching all the birds in the back yard at the feeders when unbelievable snow in Austin is falling!)
2. Consider the source. Jesus knew what motivated his enemies, and he said so. They had no interest in his well-being. He kept that in mind at all times.
(God has your back so do not worry about what other people do or say! No matter who they are, they have no control over your life!)
3. Turn their questions back on them. Jesus was a master at getting to the heart of people by using the swords aimed at him to reveal others' hearts. "Are you the King of the Jews?" demanded one. And he replied, "Who do you think I am?" (Luke 22:66). "Isn't it against the law to heal on the Sabbath?" asked another. "If your neighbor's sheep fell into a ditch on the Sabbath, would you get it out?" he replied (Matthew 12:10-11).
4. Realize you don't have to respond to every insult. "And they spat on him saying, 'Prophesy to us. Who hit you?" And to this he answered not a word" (Matthew 26.:68)
(Sometimes silence is truly golden!)
5. Tell the truth. Jesus spoke the truth as he saw it, knowing that the truth would always set people free. When you tell the truth, you have nothing to fear.
6. Keep your eye on God's prize, not theirs. Remember, there is only one heart that you are responsible for pleasing, and it does not beat in any human breast.
The more Jesus grew in influence and power, the more he became a target. He very wisely ‘learned to deflect the spears and arrows. Proverbs 19:11 says…”A wise man restrains his anger and overlooks insults.”

"You Can Have Anything You Want When You Help Enough Other People Get What They Want!" Zig Ziglar
Saturday, February 20, 2010
So what do you think...
People feel is MOST important in choosing a company?
The answer might surprise you as much as it did me! It’s not exactly what we've all been taught over the years. And you may be really inspired to know that for most, it’s NOT about the compensation plan.
Now maybe for those driven personalities, we call them the ‘Driven RED’ personality and money IS usually #1 for them. They are in command, always right, and not very compassionate. It’s their way or the highway! They are focused, goal oriented and intense. They usually have big egos, can be dominating and un-teachable. The important thing to realize is only about 15% of the people you come across will be of this personality and most people are a combination of various personalities to balance them out.
If our entire downline was RED we'd all be rich right?!!! That is if we can stand to be around them! That's why it's so great to have various personalities among your team! We certainly are not going to get along with everyone or like everyone, this is afterall a business right? At least that's how the driven Red sees it! They are not out to be your friend. In fact, most of their business relationships are just that strictly business. They do not allow too many people to get close.
Most people, about 35%, are the ‘Amiable Yellow’ or ‘Analytical Green’ and not as much focused on the money as they are on the people - ie: helping people, their purpose, the cause, we all need to get along, let’s be friends personality and of course the green analyticals want all the details and facts! These are the personalities you’re most likely going to run into when you're networking and you’ll want lot’s of them because they are usually quite dependable, loyal, patient and supportive team players.
Then some people just wanta to have fun!!! The ‘Expressive Blue’!
15% of the people you meet will be this personality or a combination of this and others. You’ll know them when you meet them! They love to party and socialize! They were born to network!!! They are also money motivated so yes the compensation plan is important but they also want to get to know who YOU are and they always want to have fun! They love to be the leader too so let them do their thing!
These guys and gals are also great story tellers which is a real asset in our business! People love hearing stories, we all relate to stories right? Find you some great story tellers and say to them “hey there are two kinds of people in the world, those who tell stories and those who get paid to tell stories!” Did I see a hand raised? The Blues are waving their hands! Me me me me!
You may come across a few of the top gun ‘get out of my way’ recruiters but they are far and few between. So try not to beat yourself up too much about it. When you do come across one of these true RED’s or a true BLUE RED, leave them alone and watch your business explode! Just remember if you’re in one of those pay plans with all this volume on one side you’re not going to get paid on it until you catch up on the other side! No free lunch gang! Still a good problem to have though huh?
Just picked up this list from another top trainer in our industry - of what people look for in a company and after over fifteen years of developing a career in the Network Marketing industry have to agree with the #1 choice and order of this list.
See if you can pin point what the #1 thing a person is looking for when joining a company. What’s MOST important to people -
-Company literature shown
-Marketing plan and potential earnings
-Training provided
-Who gave the presentation
-Product line
-Company management experience
-Up-line support
-Company image
-Sales kit provided
-Being first in your area
List those down from 1-10 most important to least important from the prospects point of view.
Remember - think like you’re a prospect!
What prospects consider most important when deciding on a company– drum roll please....
#1 - Who Gave the presentation
Surprised?
People will join YOU! They join people, they do not join companies. Of course we think our company is the best, our management team is the best, our product is the absolute best!
Our prospect though is wondering are WE going to be the best sponsor? They want to know who’s giving them the presentation and even more importantly can they do this too? When you care about people they know it!
Next in line is Upline Support – THE TEAM! T.E.A.M. = Together Everyone Achieves More!
#3 Training provided
#4 Marketing plan and earnings
#5 Product
#6 Being first in your area
#7 Company literature shown
#8 Company Image
#9 is the sales kit provided?
#10 Company management experience
So how’d you do in thinking like a prospect? Would you sign up with YOU?
Here’s some feedback below from a recent webinar training I gave on Sharpening People Skills & How To Find HOT Prospects In Your Local Area – Building Instant Rapport With People You Meet.
We have another webinar training coming up in this topic area TBA!
We want to hear from you! Tell us what training is most effective in supporting you in building your business!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just wanted to say your webinar (which I finally was able to see) made such an impact on me. I am so glad that I placed the ad in our local paper - I have 2 interviews set up for Sat. at 10am.. over coffee and pastries.. (food and fellowship!)
Thank you so much.. I am going to have them come sit down and view the presentation on my website.. I wish I had the DVD which just came out to show new prospects! I need to order it as soon as I can!
I just hope I can present the company in a wonderful way to help them make a great decision to join us.
Woohoo! Just did an interview! Gave her a scent sample and info and she brought her husband too.. Ok.. great.. I plan to have ladies over on Sat to watch the video on my site. I want to recruit 5 - that is my first goal! I am so excited Sue!
Kim C
..I listened to the recording of your call from last weekend...
...and it was AWESOME!! THANK YOU!
The training was really great! Will you do more Corp training calls? PLEASE say you will - this last call was so wonderful AND value packed!
You mentioned a written transcription - where can I find it? I didn't see it on Jackie's yahoo group - can you tell me where to find the notes?
THANK YOU AGAIN!!
Sue Y.
AWESOME training! Can't wait for the = handouts!
Stephanie S.
Great Job Sue!
I enjoyed your enthusiasm, pashion, and all the nuggets you shared yesterday. The role-playing you and Stephanie did was great also. Have you looked for a GPS yet? My daughter has a TomTom and I have a Magellian(?). Any of them will help!?
Allen P.
"I just had the opportunity to listen to it this afternoon, too. Thanks, Sue! You really did a great job and it was fun to hear you!!
Cindy B.
Hi Sue,
I enjoyed the presentation and can you please send me the notes. That would be awesome and also would love info on the 30 second commercial.
Mary P.
"Hi Sue! Couldn't make it Saturday, so I just finished listening to the recording. It was GREAT! Thanks for all the information and notes!"
Donna K.
Sue,
Great sharing on the call this morning!
I couldn't write fast enough and would love anything you can
pass on to me from your info you gave out today.
The one-liners and ice breakers are just what I need right now! :)
My husband does Bird Dogging for me as he travels each week as an over the road trucker and so I would like to share the one-liners with him, also.
Love your goal to bring your hubby home, that is one of my BIG goals, also!
Thanks again,
LaDonna L.
~~~~~~~~~~~
I came in late, but what I heard was excellent! Gave me hope once again to keep persevering! I have went through some touch circumstances, but I am surviving! Things never go the way you think they will, but you have to make a choice, to quit or get back up and try again! Well, I am getting back up and trying one more time! Usually, if things don't... See More go right, I back up & procrastinate, then, I quit! Not this time, somehow I will move forward and do more than just survive. I will thrive once again! How? I'm not sure! But I will take it one step at a time! Thanks to you, and some women I met in Topeka, and of course, Kelly Wissink! I just want to encourage you to keep on doing what comes natural to you! And I will do the same! Love ya!
Judith B.
Great info today Sue, thanks
Rhonda H.
You did a fantastic job explaining the business and I liked that you had a role playing business intro to a prospect. Great job! We will talk soon!
Cindy G.
Here’s Some More Recent Feedback From Our Survey -
Listened today 2/17 - it was wonderful- one of the best. Please do more, Sue.
The webinar gave a lot of "how-to's instead of just telling you what to do. Supplying handouts really help solidify the training.
I listened to the recording and, seriously, I thought it was great - very practical/do-able ideas & suggestions. I liked the powerpoint presentation AND the accompanying notes. Thank you!
Yes I was there and look forward to the personality training. I believe that training in Prospecting, presenting and duplication is the most important. These areas need the most work by the majority of the people. Other training such as fundraisers, parties can be self taught through experience, manuals, and the plethora of info already available. These 3 areas (PPD) don't happen because people are afraid or feEl they don't know how Or what to do and say?
Great! Awesome! Learned a lot do more!
I'm listening to it right now!!! It's great!!!
I can't think of anything to add at the moment, you both do a great job. And Sue, it's very nice to have you back! Wed, Feb 17
You guys are awesome and provide all we need! We just have to take the time to use it. Wed, Feb 17, 2010
This survey is still open and we are continuing to collect feedback - so if you were on this training we'd love to hear from you!

Is It Snowing Where You Are?
We've been watching the weather channel to keep tabs on all our friends living on the east coast!
WOW! Remember those snow days when we lived for ten years in northern West Virginia! Our boys loved sliding in the snow down the hill in front of our house.
Here's our lonely little snow sled from the 50's sitting in our living room here in Austin Texas with no snow here for it to come out and play.
This happens to be the same sled that my husband Clif played on when he was a little boy and our two boys Luke and James had so much fun playing in the snow when we lived in northern West Virginia back in the early 90's!
So many wonderful times of us all sledding down the hill in front of our home there in Charles Town W VA! What great memories!!
Would you like to create more beautiful memories with your family?
I will be giving a webinar training on ‘How To Find Hot Local Prospects For Your Business’.... sharpening people skills will also benefit anyone working with people from a team coop, leads purchased, people you meet online as well as in your local area!
So if you would like to sharpen your 'people' skills this training is for you!
-Where to find networking groups in your area and why this is so important for the future of your business -
-You'll learn some great one liners to break the ice and help you connect and ultimately bond and build instant rapport with more people at your networking events and every where you go including online and on the phone! Like dropping bread crumbs people will follow you anywhere!
-What do prospects feel is most important in choosing a company? Do you know the answer? Find out what and why knowing this is crucial to your success!
-Why learning people skills is so important if you want to succeed in Network Marketing! You can make your list all day long and contact them until you're blue in the face! If you do not learn people skills to build instant rapport you're done before you even start!
-Learning these people skills and putting them into action will be like scooping up FISH in a barrel!
When you become Passionate about what you're doing it becomes FUN AND PROFITABLE!

This happens to be the same sled that my husband Clif played on when he was a little boy and our two boys Luke and James had so much fun playing in the snow when we lived in northern West Virginia back in the early 90's!
So many wonderful times of us all sledding down the hill in front of our home there in Charles Town W VA! What great memories!!

What Tom “Big Al” Schreiter say a prospect feels is most important in choosing a company, what do you think it is?
Here’s the list –
-Company literature shown
-Marketing plan and potential earnings
-Training provided
-Who gave the presentation
-Product line
-Company management experience
-Up-line support
-Company image
-Sales kit provided
-Being first in your area
List those down from 1-10 most important to least important from the prospects point of view.
Remember - think like you’re a prospect!
Here's the #1 thing a prospect is looking for when joining a company– Who Gave the presentation!
People will join YOU! They join people, they do not join companies. Of course we think our company is the best, our management team is the best, our product is the absolute best!
Our prospect though is wondering are WE the best sponsor? They want to know who’s giving them the presentation and even more importantly can they do this too? When you care about people they know it!
Next in line is Upline Support – THE TEAM! T.E.A.M. = Together Everyone Achieves More!
#3 Training provided

NEWS Flash Sue Seward Internet Marketer goes to a live meeting!
Yep you heard it right! Sue Seward actually went to a live in your face local meeting tonight! Got the picture here to prove it!
And that's just what we learned to do, how to find hot local prospects!
It was actually worth it to brave the rush hour traffic with all the fussy worker bees in drizzling rain not knowing where the heck I was going! Got a late start because a prospect called right before leaving so chatted for a bit, got her on her way to finding her passion and taking the next action step and then hit the road!
What a trip! Total bumper to bumper traffic, reminded me exactly of WHY I work at home! haha!
Wow though did I find out some simple skills that anyone can learn and heck it was fun! Ok you're thinking dang that girl needs to get out more! hahaha!
Had no idea where I was going after getting on the big freeway, missed my turn, calling the hotel to see who could get me in the right direction, couldn't talk on the cell while driving with all the worker bees on my butt, almost had two collisions, got in the left turn lane and then went straight while a car was turning left and missed me by like an inch!!! Geez! I think God had me in the palm of his hand!!! Holy COW what a fricken mess!
Finally got there 15 minutes late and because of that actually got in for no charge because the host came out and turns out we got to talking briefly and I had met her online back during the holidays when checking out some MEETUP groups in Austin! She is the host of one and she was hosting this workshop! So she says YOU are my guest and gives me my twenty back! Hows that for karma?
Then at the end Big Al says he's got some CD's we can get to take home for a donation of.... Yep twenty bucks!
The workshop was full of great tips and skills training from a master who has actually like built a downline! No motivation at all! Just pure D GRADE A SKILLS BABY!
Stuff you can take back to your team and help them.... let me see what's that term we use again....D-U-P-L-I-C-A-T-E!!!!
Well of course I met some cool people, they were all networkers for petes sakes! Made some great business connections and would I go back regardless of the traffic??
ABSOLUTELY in a New York minute!!!
It does feel good though to be back home in my fuzzy slippers! hmmmm.. Video blogging time???

Why Brand YOUR Passion?
After networking and making connections, building relationships online for over twelve years it’s come to my attention that email is sort of dead don't you think? How much real connection email do you receive now days? How many people are actually connecting and building relationships online using email? Most of what we receive is spam wouldn't you agree?
Geez, how much Viagra can a person use anyway?!! hahaha!
I still remember back when starting online in 1996 all we had was email and a few chat rooms and forum message boards and of course the tried and true telephone which is always one of our best tools for networking right?
A lot of people come to me and ask my opinion on having a personal website and what’s more important - having a personal website or a replicated marketing system?
Well actually both can help you depending on your goals, your target market and what you are truly passionate about. The main thing is that you start to realize how important it is to brand YOU and you can do this several ways and you don’t have to spend hours, days or weeks building a personal website to do it!
The best thing you can do when you start your enterprise is to be up and running as quickly as possible and getting yourself and your business out there for people to see. Building a personal website can take hours and hours and sometimes weeks to develop. Having a replicated marketing system can be set up the first day you start your enterprise. So I always recommend this option to anyone who wants to have their business website up and running day one.
Depends on your purpose and your end goal so think about what that is first.
This is also why it's crucial to your success to have a plan, a real business plan with your passion spelled out, your goals and your action sets planned out on paper. Have you done this yet? If not I highly recommend doing this first. If you need some coaching on this get in touch and I'm happy to help you brainstorm some ideas.
The reason you want to brand yourself and your passion is because people join you first. They want to know who you are and why you are doing what you do. What are you passionate about? Why should they partner with you? You can do this too by putting up a Blog which are becoming very popular these days. Some people are choosing to do video blogging. Be sure you do what best fits your style. Video may not be your thing and that’s perfectly ok. Writing may be! Or audio may be your thing! Go with your own passion and what floats your boat.
Perhaps some of these other reaching out avenues will be something you’ll gravitate to next as you start to get your feet wet in one area you may advance onto learning something new. Just remember if you’re not passionate about what you’re doing people will pick up on that! So go with what lights your fire because this is what draws more people near to you!
Everything always starts with a little spark!
If you feel you’re not a writer don’t worry, I wasn’t when starting out either twelve years ago! In fact, I had no degrees or writing experience at all. What I have always written about is my own experiences. It’s not fiction, it’s not about what I’m dreaming about, and it’s what I’ve done! I also write like I talk so sometimes may not have the best grammar, remember I didn’t go to school to be an English teacher.
I’m just a little ole networker by way of school of hard knocks!
Writing and posting to your blog is not really about being inspired as much as it is about being passionate about what you do because when you’re passionate about what you do it becomes easier to express yourself. People are attracted to enthusiastic people who are passionate about what they do!
Remember the movie 'Passion Of The Christ'? Jesus passion was working for the Lord. His passion was people and he actually decided to leave his father’s carpentry business which he was very good at to follow this passion. You know people must have thought he was crazy to leave such a great paying job! Jesus however was not that interested in making money as he was saving souls. This doesn't mean though that God doesn't want anyone making money. On the contrary! The Bible says God wants us to prosper and it says it in more places than one and the reason is so that we can be generous on every occasion!
Recently I met another professional woman here locally that left her medical career to pursue a career in becoming a Certified Life Coach. Her family and colleagues thought she was nuts! Becoming a Life Coach however is her passion which is to help other people unlock their true potential and she’s very good at it. Why? Because she is so darn passionate about it! You can tell by listening to her in one of her coaching sessions. She brings out the best in people. I was one of the ones who experienced watching her bring out the best in people attending one of her goal setting workshops. She truly is going for her passion!
For me it’s always been about people too. Helping them find their passion, helping them set up their own enterprise, be their own boss, coaching others and helping them to unlock their true potential for success.
It’s really ok to brand yourself because you are unique and there’s only one you. God made you just the way you are and has a plan for your life. Search deep inside and find what your passion is and express it by sharing what you love with others.
Maybe your passion is your kids, your partner, you love gardening, cooking, nature, travel, reading, skydiving, mountain climbing, running, walking, fitness, health, being your own boss, teaching and training others…you get the picture right?
Combine this passion with what you’re doing to earn a living and write about this on your blog!
Sometimes I’m driving down the road just out running the usual errands to the grocery store, the post office or office supply store. Not so exciting right? BAM something comes into my head and I’ve got to write it on my blog like I’m sharing with you now!
I write notes on sticky notes! Had about 7 or 8 of them all pasted on my desk to put into this blog post! Just jot down thoughts during your day to day routine and it will come to you what to post on your blog.
Once you set your blog up you will get noticed once you start posting it on social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Best Networker, thatmlmbeat, and others you’ll find online. You can always Google to find more places to post your blog,. Name your blog which should center on your passion.
On your blog you’ll have your profile which tells a little about you and your passion, photo of yourself and links to your enterprise and any other passions you have. One of mine happens to be Gluten free cooking. Not only do I love to cook, I’m 100% gluten free now after about a year of working on being compliant due to health reasons. It’s been a real struggle and I know it can be for thousands of others. I’ve been there and can relate what it’s like to go to the grocery store and just stand there and stare at the shelves wondering what in the heck can I eat?!!!
Now I’ve got the GFree thing down and even set up a page on my personal website about it because of being so passionate about helping others who are struggling too. If that’s you visit – >http://www.suesewardlivingglutenfree.com AND I hope this helps you as it has me!
Now back to putting up your Blog -
Be sure you always use a photo of yourself to brand YOU! No silly avatars or photos of your products. This will not brand YOU. Remember YOU brand YOU so put on a photo of the REAL passionate you!
One of the other things to do is always be REAL, be authentic, be passionate about what you're doing, just be yourself and people will be attracted to you and want to connect with you and eventually may become interested in what you do and they may just be a great connection. Everyone is a connection, remember that! Even if they are not interested in your particular business think of them as a great connection! You never know what could transpire from one great connection!
