You’re Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 305. Today, we are going to talk about Actions, and taking the right actions for success in your business, and so our Mantra this week is - My actions create my prosperity. Need some coaching to move you forward? My one on one and inner circle programs are LIVE! Are you looking for coaching to be successful in your Network Marketing business? Want to also learn how to generate your own leads online? My Inner Circle Coaching Program may be just what you need. Or, maybe it's one on one coaching. Learn more about both at http://StreetSmartWealth.com/coach And, http://DirectSalesBootcamp.com is open! Check the podcast archives on the blog at JackieUlmer.com for previous episodes if you missed any or are new to the show. I’m excited to share with you that http://StreetSmartNetworker.com is now live. I have taken my 20 plus years of networking online and offline for success and created a training program to teach YOU how to create an endless stream of leads, prospects, sign ups and referral partners for your business. A lot of people GO to networking events. But few know how to monetize them. Now, you can be one of those few. Had a great conversation about Networking events with my interior designer, who hates networking events. Listen in as I share how that mindset of “Networking events don’t work” is a flawed thought process. They DO work. Like crazy. I’ve been to networking events where over half the people there are in some type of Network Marketing company. A lot has been going on around here lately and I am AMAZED at the show growth now that it is back in iTunes and has 300 episodes available to listen to on demand! I’m going to be recycling some of my past shows, that are no longer archived there for Throwback Thursday. Stay tuned. And, I have a HUGE favor to ask you - would you share this show with another? Maybe one other person, or post it on your Facebook wall, or business page? Send out a tweet? Share it on instagram? Growing the show is huge in getting the word out there to others about what success is and how they can have success. Tag me in your Facebook post, or your tweet - @jackieulmer I would love to publicly acknowledge you, too, for your support. Also, join me over on my Facebook page for the Millionaire System series. I’m going through the 1 Minute Millionaire book and taking some concepts from it for you. It’s more than just money! The Right Actions For Success It doesn’t matter what business you are in, ACTION is a required part of the success equation. Your actions will determine your level of success, day in and day out. Using this week’s Mantra - My Actions Create my Prosperity - begin to get clear on what those action steps will be. Success is built around leads and referrals, that convert to actual prospects, who we then guide down the path to educating them about us, our business, our services and what doing business together will mean. How do we begin the process to get those leads? I have a coaching client who I am working through this process right now. She’s fairly new with her company and has a desire to go quickly, and she works a full time job. So, we have laid out a business action plan of what she will do each day. We have written out her scripts and success language, so she knows what to say each step of the way, including how she will answer the most common questions and objections. And, we developed a rewards and accountability system for herself, as well as her family, so she is motivated to stay on track and accountability to those who she is building her business for. Because she has limited time, we looked for small pockets of time throughout her day and week and planned exact steps so that at the end of the day, she feels accomplished and knows she has given her best to her business. Before we worked through all of this, she was feeling stuck, and not at all in action because she was having a challenge finding blocks of time to work her business. So, it was an all or nothing approach. If she had a busy day, and didn’t have an hour at night to work on her business, she was defaulting to doing nothing. Now, she is on a system for success and knows what to do throughout her day. At this point, her true commitment is kicking in because she no longer has any question about what to do to work the business. The only question becomes whether she will take the action; whether she will make excuses or make progress in her business. A business never just builds itself. And, even with online tools, systems and attraction marketing, there are still required things that must be done. What are the right actions for success in your business? I have another client, who is in real estate. She’s been active for about 2 years, and, like many of my clients, she is a mom of busy, active children. Join the club! We all are busy. That’s my least favorite thing to ever hear from someone. I’m busy. I’ve been busy, We all have the same 24 hours in a day. And, where we spend our time is what our priority is. Sometimes that’s tough to hear, for me, too. So, back to my Real Estate agent client. We are laying out her social media plan, and working to develop her top 250 list. Those who will use, refer and promote her. We all have one of those. Or, we require to if we really want to be successful. We have put together a 52 week strategy for her, online and offline, and she is busy and in action. She meets 2 people per week for coffee or lunch, just to catch up and reconnect. They go into a database so she can track and keep track of this list and where she is along the way. This is not a connection per meetup to specifically talk about business, but as often happens, business and careers come up. We’ve developed success language so she is clear on what to say to get her business out there, without being or feeling like she is selling. She has a clear, defined follow up plan so she stays top of mind, and her social media marketing plan assists with this as well. So, what will it take for you to define the right actions for success in your own business? I’m glad you asked…. Steps to define your action plan. Write this down. What is required for success? What time do you have? Where are you currently struggling? What will it take to move beyond that? Now, act as if you have put the struggle behind you. Write out that action plan based on the first two questions. And, if you desire assistance, let’s talk about some coaching to set up your plan, including success language, social media and follow up.

Cleaning Up Your Facebook Profile
It’s easy to lose sight of the important things that matter on Facebook when your goal is to use it as a tool to grow your business; create brand awareness and an interest in you and potentially doing business together or referring you.
If you are like me, you set up your Facebook profile many years ago and may not have updated some key pieces that are important as you use it as a business calling card.
And, please do note that your Facebook Profile page is more valuable than your business card. IT’s one of the first places people will look to begin to research you, and learn more about you.
Here are some simple steps to take right now to begin cleaning up your Facebook Profile -
Take a good look at your profile picture. Does it represent you, your business and your brand the way you desire it to, in order to be an effective tool for you in business. IT should be clear, well lit, you and your face, and no one and nothing else.
Not your family, your friends, your dog, favorite pet, a product photo or a company logo.
Just you - it’s Facebook.
Next, take a look at your cover photo and I recommend looking at it on your smartphone as well as your computer, to make sure it looks correct on both.
What does it state about you, your business and your brand? It’s fine to change it out with holidays, special events and life’s happenings. Ideally, have one that shares an overall view of you, as a person and a business owner, and use this one most often.
Now, scroll down your left sidebar and pay attention to your Intro - what does it say? Is it enticing to inspire others to click to your About section? If not, spend some time sprucing it up!
Is the rest of the info on that left sidebar current?
Employment and Career Details? If possible, make sure you have it linked to YOUR business page. Click any highlighted links and make sure they are not dead ends, going to a page that doesn’t really exist.
I often see people with links to Home Business Owner or something random that highlights and is clickable, but takes one no where.
Also, make sure you are not linking to a company page that does not benefit YOU. This is especially true for my Real Estate and Direct Sales friends. Insurance agents may also want to explore this.
Click on your About section and this is where you are able to go in and clean anything up that requires an update.
Old Direct Sales companies or anything from the past that does not serve you is something you’ll want to delete.
People don’t have a ton of time to spend, so make your most current, relevant stuff pop and intrigue them.
Head on down through this page and you’ll see all kinds of stuff pop up that you may not have realized was linked in there, including Music, Movies, Books, Sports, and toward the bottom, you will find all of the Pages you have “Liked” over time. Do you still want to continue liking all of these? Now is the time to clean this up.
Right click and open each page in a new tab in a new window and decide of you want to stay or go. I took mine from 229 to 147 just as I was working on this show!
Ok, that’s enough homework for today. We’ll work on some other Social Media Strategies over time, and since Facebook is the grand daddy of them all, it’s a solid starting point!
Now, you are ready to get over to Facebook and begin cleaning up your Facebook Profile!
