Okay, back to F word Friday.

 

Today, let’s look at that bad boy called - Failure. And, take it head on.

 

I want to share a story of my failure, and what happened to me as a result of it.

 

My Makeup Biz - everyone had huge expectations. After all, I had accomplished a LOT in the past, so surely I would with this too.

 

Ever try to fit a square peg in a round hole? That was me.

 

I was mad about something in my business, and I made a quick, rash decision.

 

I kept trying to convince myself that I could overcome my own values, and desires in a business.

 

And, one might look at that experience and say I “failed.”

 

But, not me. While I did not create the business or the income I thought I wanted from it, I did get in touch with and become reminded of who I really am, and what I am most passionate about.

 

I Love social media. I love teaching success language and how to really connect with people and build a center of influence.

 

I love being a coach and helping turn the light bulb on for others.

 

And I can not stand a bunch of products coming into my home every month, Doesn’t make that biz model bad, it just means it is not right for me and I know it!

 

I am a transformation coach; assisting others to transform from what they were; or think they were; to what they are capable of.

 

think of a time when you failed, and I mean really failed. What did you fail at. Put a name to it. What was it? and, what happened as a result of that?

 

How bad was it really? How have you recovered? The fact that you are hear listening tells me you probably recovered.

 

What did you learn from that experience? How have you grown? How are you better? Did you REALLY fail or did you have a growing experience?

 

Does the past equal the future?

 

What are you holding back from doing due to fear of failure? How is that stopping you from what you really want? If you DID “fail” what would be the worst that would happen?

 

What if you didn’t fail? What if you actually succeeded? What if the universe is lining up to give you what you most focus on? How might you shift your fear from that of failure to the expectancy of success?

 

How might you reframe the way you go into the experience as one of expectancy for success and a great learning, growing, expanding experience?

 

 

 

The most powerful thing I ever did for my business when I was struggling to get from zero to hero as to hire a coach. Someone who has been where I was, and has gone to where I want to go.

 

I would love to explore a coaching partnership with you, if you are struggling. Let’s schedule a 20 minute discovery call to see if we might be a fit.

 

I love taking those with goals like mine from struggle to six figures, easily, and with joy in building something they love and that resonates with who they are and their values.

I just returned from a LONG road trip, moving my daughter and her boyfriend, along with Hendrix, the German Shepherd/Shar Pei dog to Nashville.

Along the way, I had plenty of time for thinking, since it was about 27 hours in a car, alone, with wide open skies and podcasts to grow through!

As I always like to reflect on how life and business are so parallel, I had some interesting insights along the way.

Here are some things you’ll hear in the podcast -

I’m a Type A, Action personality. That can be a good and bad thing with others.

Ho do our clients, prospects and potential clients view us, when we act from our own personality type?

How does our past shape us? And does it need to?

Traveling has its frustrations - flies, dirty bathrooms, rude drivers, and yet these are bugs on a windshield and don’t need to derail us.

Are you creating experiences in your life, for yourself and those who you encounter?

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

 

 

The 4 Primary Challenges Most People Face in Business

 

Finding Your Passion

 

My Struggles with Network Marketing and Why

 

Creating a Legacy Business and How I Am Doing It

 

 

How to Get Unstuck In Your Business

 

I have discovered my true love of coaching others and helping them “turn the lightbulb on for themselves, so they can experience more of what they want and do so in a way that feels good, authentic and fun.

 

As I have coached and worked with others, and helped to create some fabulous results and success for those who were willing to do the work!

 

When I read Robert Kiyosaki’s book - Rich Dad, Poor Dad, it really expanded my business vision of what could be possible for me.

 

Especially after I took my business online in 1999. Wow! The internet could take me to places I have never thought of before.

 

I wanted more than just a network marketing business and income. I just know that through Network Marketing, I have developed some very solid skill sets that I can use to assist others in getting what they want. And, more!

 

Things I coach and consult on -

 

Direct Sales and Network Marketing Success

 

Social Media Success in Selling

 

Success Language

 

Mindset Mastery

 

and, Networking skills offline, too.

 

By the way, it’s okay to have ambition and love and enjoy money and what it can accomplish. That’s not about loving money MORE than people - let’s be clear on that.

 

So, ultimately I love coaching people on the whole overall approach of being an Entrepreneur!

 

Then, my daughter came to me and wanted to become an entrepreneur. Listen in to hear how!

 

Hooray, a concept to keep my business going and create a Legacy!

 

And, we are putting together an academy to assist those who are struggling with those 4 Key Business Skills.

 

Do you have a plan put together? Are you happy with your plan? Would you like to learn more about an effective plan? Would you like to schedule a time to discuss it?

 

StreetSmartWealth.com/coach - let’s set up a 20 minute discovery call and get to know each other better.

The doors are currently closed, but I would love to have you on the waitlist to be the first to know and get special bonuses for the next time we open the doors.

 

Go to StreetSmartWealth.com/academy and let’s see if we might be a fit to grow the business of your dreams working together.

 

 

 

What are the big dreams you have set for your business and your life? Have you thought about how much money it will take for you to live the life of your dreams?

 

And, does the thought of all that might go into creating that ever wreck your self confidence and belief in making it actually happen?

 

We can look out in the distance and see that big end goal out there, all bright and shiny. But, we look at the space between where we are and where we want to go and it can be very daunting.

 

When I first started my business, I was taught to set goals - income goals mostly. And, the ones I saw other people setting were big money goals.

 

I set a big goal too, but quickly realized I had a problem.

 

I had not ever come close to earning that much in my life, and so I could say one thing, but my belief around it was another thing.

 

I clearly had a money belief problem, and you might too.

 

What kept me in the game was creating smaller goals, that felt achievable to me, and putting my focus there.

 

We tend to lose sight of the fact that what creates success with the small goals is also most often what creates success with the bigger goals.

 

so, let’s talk a bout creating some small, possibility goals and commit full out to those so we then reach our bigger end all be all do all goals!

 

Pop in those ear buds, let’s get cracking.

 

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

 

 

Getting Your Money Back in 30 Days

 

It’s all easier after the first $10k

 

How big goals hurt your self confidence

 

Consistent Steps create big results

 

 

The first thing I’m going to ask you for is a commitment. It’s what I do with my coaching and mastermind clients, and that is what creates results. It’s not wishing or hoping. It’s commitment and action.

 

Last week, I talked about Repetition being the key to mastery. Consistency is the key to repetition. They are kind of the same and you probably see a common thread.

 

The most common income goal set by my clients is a Six Figure Income, or $100,000.

 

Does that amount seem daunting to you? It can if you aren’t close to making that now. That was my problem.

 

What about breaking that down to $8,400 a month? Seem a little more reasonable?

 

And, what if we break that down to weekly? Which comes out to about $2100. Even more do-able, right?

 

So, If you can make $2k, then you can make $4k. And, if you can make $4k, then $8k seems possible, right?

 

And, for so many people, the first $10k is the HARDEST. The next $10k comes so much easier and more quickly.

 

I struggled to make my first $10k in my business. And, from there, it became much more fun and with joy!

 

Pretty soon, it grew so quickly that, at times, I felt like it was monopoly money. And, that is FUN money! Especially when it’s made by doing something I love and adding value in the lives of others. Watching the light bulb come on for my clients is the BEST ever!

 

The Gap between where you are and where you want to be can be a deal breaker. So let’s set a goal to get your to your first $2k, if you haven’t reached that. Or, whatever goal it is that fits for you. And, a deadline.

 

The deadline is important because if you have TOO long, there is a tendency is to procrastinate. Put it off for tomorrow. Does this describe you?

 

Now, looking at that goal - do you know the steps you’ll be taking to get you there?  Are you clear on that? And, are you ready to create that consistency chain to make it happen? Make those small steps.

 

And, what will that $2,000 or more do for you in your life? What would it do if it were a weekly amount? Do you realize that’s $104,000 a year and makes you a 6 figure income earner.

 

Once you figure out how to make $2,000 ONCE, you can figure out how to do it monthly. And, then weekly. And, then what about DAILY? Would that be fun?

 

Now, think about this - imagine making $2000 in your business one time. Seems possible, right?

 

And, if you shift that focus to $2,000 a day - how possible does that feel? Does that rattle your self confidence and belief at all?

 

It might and that’s okay. It’s not a right or wrong, it just is. And, we are going to work together with where you are RIGHT now. Open your mind a little and let me coax and coach you to expanding that vision and belief.

 

You are building your business in small, increments. Inches, dollars, or what ever you want to think it is.

 

Each connection you make with your audience - your ideal client - is an inch closer to where you want to be. What’s your goal with them? To make a sale; sign a client; sponsor a team member?

 

What do each of those inches look like for you? Go back to those steps that you’ll need to take to get where you want to go.

 

What steps are part of your consistency chain? How many inches will move your business closer to your goal?

 

Every small goal, every inch you accomplish; every connection and piece of value you contribute - all of these creates those massive bigger results.

 

You can make excuses - we all have. And, you can make money - which means letting go of those excuses.

 

Remember - when we focus too big, and too scary, we psyche ourselves out of possibility. Zero to Hero, or nothing to $100K is scary. And daunting. And soul sucking.

 

Focus on small, tangible, accomplishable and watch what happens.

 

Instead of saying - I know I should be doing more - say - I know EXACTLY what I need to do each day to hit that small target goal and then I move it up from there.

 

Focus on that one person, that one connection and not the MASSES like Social Media teaches you.

 

I know, strange coming from someone who teaches SocialMediaBackstagePAss.com, right? And, there is huge value in social media.

 

And, it’s quality and connection always, and not quantity.

 

And, let go of too much concern on the tech. Huge businesses are still grown one person at a time.

 

Facebook live, and ads, and stories and all that go into that do serve a time and a place. And, those are secondary to knowing how to set those small goals; developing the actions plan to get your there; putting your own consistency chain into motion and just being fully present to connect and add value to each person, one at a time.

 

Do you have that put together? Are you happy with your plan? Would you like to learn more about an effective plan? Would you like to schedule a time to discuss it?

Last Monday, on my family’s last day at my sister in law’s Lake House, I got up early to get my walk in for the day.

 

I don't know the area well, so I just set out on the winding country road, to sneak in 2 miles before we headed home from vacation. I had walked the day before and was fine.

 

In the early morning though, it’s clear some people just let their dog’s out with no leash. This is a pet peeve of mine, and here is why -

 

About 3/4 of a mile in, I was deeply involved in listening to a podcast when I caught the movement of a dog rapidly making its way toward me. Barking, snapping and looking anything but friendly.

 

I was seriously fearful he was going to bite me. But I powered on and focused on not allowing him to smell my fear.

 

When he finally eased up and dropped back, I started pondering my move to get home. I was going to have to turn around and walk back by him.

 

Call my husband.

 

Look for an alternative route.

 

Suck it up and turn around.

 

I decided to push past my fear and focus on everything being fine.

 

As I came within 20 feet of the house, I heard the sound of a big truck coming up behind me.

 

Trash truck, stopped right in front of the house, separating me from the dog and his sight of me. As the trash guys duped trash from the surrounding houses, I hurried on past and got out of range of the dog.

 

For me, this was a great testament to fear and faith.

 

In my business, as in yours perhaps, I have had and overcome many fears along the way. And, I have learned that False Evidence Appearing Real is true,

 

The dog had not bitten me. And, why should I think he would bite me the second time?

 

Why not have faith that my prayer would be answered and God would see me through, just like he has before.

 

What is a big fear you face in your business?  Success; failure; what other people think; putting yourself out on Social Media; being vulnerable; talking to someone; wondering who will listen to you and what do you have to share?

 

How might you muster the faith to believe the path and answer will be shown to you?

 

The most powerful thing I ever did for my business when I was struggling to get from zero to hero as to hire a coach. Someone who has been where I was, and has gone to where I want to go.

 

I would love to explore a coaching partnership with you, if you are struggling. Let’s schedule a 20 minute discovery call to see if we might be a fit.

 

I love taking those with goals like mine from struggle to six figures, easily, and with joy in building something they love and that resonates with who they are and their values.

It's Tech Tip Tuesday and here are some ideas for your Content Calendar. Use Holidays and National Day Calendar Celebrations to come up with ideas.

September is coming up and we have all kinds of things - Astrological signs, birthstone, Better Breakfast month (how might you incorporate that for content and engagement?) There is National Beard Day, Lazy Mom's Day and more!

Join me at SocialMediaBackstagePass.com to learn more on how to get it right and monetize Social Media!

How many books did you read last year? Podcasts did you listen to? Programs did you buy? “Shelf Help.”

How many of those did you create mastery from? Do you know what true mastery is?

Malcolm Gladwell and the Outliers - the power in 10,000 hours. Or 10,000 anything.

The Beatles; Steve Jobs; Bill Gates; Wayne Gretsky; Michael Jordan;

“It is not the brightest who succeed,” Gladwell writes. “Nor is success simply the sum of the decisions and efforts we make on our own behalf. It is, rather, a gift. Outliers are those who have been given opportunities — and who have had the strength and presence of mind to seize them.”

So Bill Gates is introduced as a young computer programmer from Seattle whose brilliance and ambition outshine the brilliance and ambition of the thousands of other young programmers. But then Gladwell takes us back to Seattle, and we discover that Gates’s high school happened to have a computer club when almost no other high schools did. He then lucked into the opportunity to use the computers at the University of Washington, for hours on end. By the time he turned 20, he had spent well more than 10,000 hours as a programmer

 

“If there were 50 in the world, I’d be stunned,” Gates says. “I had a better exposure to software development at a young age than I think anyone did in that period of time, and all because of an incredibly lucky series of events.” Gates’s talent and drive were surely unusual. But Gladwell suggests that his opportunities may have been even more so.

 

What are the opportunities you’ve been given? Are you taking advantage of them?

 

Think about your business. What have you mastered in it? What skills that will get you where you need to go… Have you put in your 10,000 hours?

 

Now, you might be thinking - I’ve mastered procrastination. I’ve mastered going to seminars; listening to webinars; spray and pray on social media; I’ve mastered passive marketing; but not active prospecting;

Here are some things that repetition will help you master -

Developing Success language - knowing what to say that captivates instead of boring your audience. This is critical for sharing what you do; giving your infomercial at networking events; helping others know how to describe you so they can refer you.

 

Knowing how to share what you offer in a quick, effective way that creates interest to  learn more.

 

Understanding sales and how to sell, without being salesy.

 

Learning the personality types so you can have a meaningful conversation with anyone you meet in a way that attracts them and meets their needs.

 

Right now, think about your informercial. What do you say when people ask what you do?

 

Here is what I most often here -

 

I sell Real Estate

 

I work with the #1 skincare brand in North America.

 

I sell XYZ products.

 

I’m a distributor for XYZ company.

 

 

 

 

Entrepreneurs hire me to optimize their Social Media results because most are playing around on Facebook, invisible on LinkedIn, missing the mark on Instagram, and have absolutely no brand recognition online and offline. So I help them command profitable connections, communication and conversions.

 

Bottom line - if you are not online, converting connections to profits, you’ve got a problem. You wanna stop leaving money on the table, let's talk about how to convert to earn. If you’re not converting you’re not earning.

 

I also teach social selling, online and offline.

 

Entrepreneurs hire me to catapult their PROFITS because they’re struggling, sales are low and they don’t know how to connect with, follow up and close SALES with their prospects. And most of them don't even realize it. So I help them communicate with confidence and authority, online and offline, increasing their sales up to 300%.

 

Bottom line - they’ll ignite their TRUE selling power, get more sales and referrals by creating an “IT Factor” about their brand, offline and through Social Media, resulting in a lucrative business they love!

 

For Direct Sales - Network Marketers hire me to teach them exactly how to sell and sponsor because most have no idea how to talk to their friends without feeling or sounding salesy and turning people off; they have no idea how to share on Social Media without blatantly pitching their deal. And, they have no idea what to say. So, I have them develop “success Language” and a strategy that gets them the chance to share their business and products with just about anyone, online and offline and feel confident with what to say and how to follow up.

 

Bottom line - if you are not sponsoring and selling in your Direct Sales Business, you’ve got a problem. You wanna stop leaving money on the table, let's talk about how to build a successful Network Marketing business without losing your friends.

 

 

You’ve likely heard this before - One of the greatest predictors of the ability to succeed in life is persistence:“stick-to-it-ness” and it’s that attitude and personal culture and commitment that allows one to get through the inevitable challenges and obstacles that await us on the road to success.

 

When we take a closer look at what’s really happening during the journey to success,  we quickly realize that success is anything but a straight line. It’s more a like a windy road of twists, turns, ups and downs, and testing and trying.

 

It’s only when you become aware of all of those tangles and all the ups and down – it’s only when you can see what was really involved – that it becomes obvious what the real key to success really is. And that key is persistence; successful people don’t give up. They don’t view failure as a final curtain call; they view it as just another twist in the maze. They chalk it up to experience, learn whatever they can from it, and then they move on and try again. They don’t let fear, frustration, or wounded pride give them an excuse to quit.

 

Things to think about - where are you falling short? Where are you persistent? Where do you only take it half way? Where do you procrastinate?

 

If you were to write out a short, one page action plan of what you business requires for success, how does it line up with your calendar for the last few months?

 

I’ve spent a lot of time myself over the last few months evaluating my own business, from start to now; what’s worked and where I have struggled and why.

 

Consistency, laser focus and knowing what to say yes to, what to say no to, and what to take action on each day is key.

 

I’ve laid out my clear plan for the future and I am excited about it.

 

I’m launching Street Smart Wealth Academy later this year, which is the bigger picture beyond SocialMediaBackstagePass.com

 

My true passion is helping people succeed in their business - whatever that is - Network Marketing, Direct Sales, Real Estate, Life/Business Coach - Solopreneur.

 

It doesn’t really matter what the business model is - there are certain key principles that must be in place and acted on.

 

And mindset is they key piece, always! You can have all the rest of it wired, and know exactly what must be done to succeed. But if your mind say no, not for you, it’s not going to happen!

 

Get excited about your business. Get focused on what that business really is and who you serve! And get persistent with the right actions.

 

Become a master at your art.

My favorite F words is something I LOVE and have FUN with and find Fabulous. It’s fantastic when I can find the fun in all of life. And, when I relax into fun, I let go of Fear and that is pure freedom.

 

So, we will explore some of my favorite F words, on Friday’s, one of my favorite days of the week, and see if we might find some features about it that fit with you!

 

Today’s F word is my #1 value word - FUN!

 

If it’s not fun, I’m not doing it.

 

But, I didn't start out that way in my business.

 

Have fun in the journey! What the WHAT, seriously. I'll have fun when I’m making money.

 

I began to get it though. Relax, let go of the tight grip, have fun along the way. Enjoy the process, enjoy the people - ALL of them.

 

Enjoy your growth; your success and your “failures” reframe failure. Find the fun even in the failures. Build a story worth re-living, loving and sharing.

 

Give your business the fun factor test - Share the fun on Social Media. That gets way more engagement than your “poor me” give me sympathy posts.

Have fun offline - enjoy meeting new people and FINDING out the facts about them. Find them on Facebook and other social media sites and forge a more powerful connection.

 

Fit them into your daily plan and truly focus on caring for them.

 

Fantastic fortunes will be-fall you i so many ways. Finances, another favorite F word, will follow you along the path.

 

I’m Jackie Ulmer, wishing you a fun, fabulous, Friday or whatever day it is you find this - know that it was meant to find you right now. The future is full, friendly and fanatical about you!

What? Facebook is shutting down it's Friends Lists, or Feeds? Yep, that's the rumor. Mine are already gone on my iPhone but still are on my desktop site.

And, what's the reason?

Is it Ad Revenue Loss when Facebook can't show you ads based on their specific algorithm that's stored for you?

You know you've been pixeled and re-targeted very often, but when you mess with the feed they want to show you, you mess with their ability to generate revenues!

Do they want to return Facebook back to the days of "Puppy Dogs, Family and Friends" sharing feel good stuff?

Well, maybe, if they can get an ad in edgeways, they do!

Let's face it - Facebook knows more about us than possibly we know about ourselves. They are a stats and demographics generating MACHINE!

We've all turned quite a bit of info over to them over the years in terms of our likes, interests and who we engage with.

And, based on that, they have a profile on you. They return ads to you based on that "profile."

Yikes. And right now, while a lot of distrust is out there regarding Facebook and privacy issues, do we really want them having more?

Be smart on Social, Always!

Build your hub of the universe (blog and list) and never rely on a platform you don't own (remember MySpace) to be your business hub.

Build your Center of Influence and nurture and cultivate those relationships. Take it offline. Send personal cards and notes.

Use the local search bar to grow your friends to those you can meet locally and invite to workshops, networking events, coffee and so on.

Use video, take selfies and give people what they want to see in you! They will become interested when you do it right!

Do You Struggle with Consistency in Your Business?

On today’s show, I am interviewing the authors of the new book - The Consistency Chain - The Missing Link for Success in Network Marketing, George Campbell and Jim Packard.

We are going to dive deep into Consistency and, honestly, it's the missing link in so much of what we do - life, relationships; business; health and fitness.

We are going to talk about the 80/20 Pareto Principle and how we are wired one of 2 ways - the 80% and the 20%.

And, being an 80% and not having consistency doesn't mean you lack ambition, education or anything else. You just are wired differently.

Learn more about The Consistency Chain here!

The Consistency Chain - The Missing Link for Success

Here are some specific things to listen for in the show -

The 80/20 rule

How the 20% can better work with the 80%

The Navy Seals - I just need to make it to breakfast!

"Smart Goals" vs ER Goals

Motivation vs Momentum

The Chain and the Desire NOT to break the chain

3 Days and the power behind that

The Marshmallow Test

 

I've known Jim Packard for years and he has the midas touch. He succeeds at everything he does, but even in Network Marketing, he was not able to "change" the wiring of those who are not the "20%' in how group.

Nothing wrong with him, or those on the team. It's really about understanding and re-wiring how you think; act; and plan!

Your Business Development Action Plan

As I mentioned on the last two shows, I recently ran a survey to see what your most challenging things are in your business. And, the number one thing was having a business action plan so that you have a roadmap in place of what to do each day.

Success is sexy, the system to build the business is not always sexy! We struggle with figuring out what that daily plan of action should be to move us forward.

Every business, whether it’s Direct Sales and Network Marketing, Real Estate, Party Plan, Insurance, coaching or ANY business needs - clients and customers, leads and prospects, referral partners and ambassadors!

We most all start with our warm market and let them know we have started a business. We let them know about our products, our services and even our business opportunity if we are in a network marketing business.

We want to use good success language when we contact and notify those we know.

http://StreetSmartNetworker.com gets into the specifics of how to build your database and notify people of what you do. Develop that solid “elevator pitch” and good success language to entice others to want to know more.

Avoid the tendency to just talk at people.

Here are some steps to take -

Take a Personal Inventory and know your hobbies, interests, likes, passions, products.
Do a SWOT Analysis - what are your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats?
Then, develop your system and plan to contact your database and stay top of mind.
Develop your follow up plan - I call this the F word in business. Most business people fail at follow up.
What is your plan to expand your database on a daily and weekly basis?

There are offline and online ways to do this.

Offline - there is lifestyling such as kids events; church. any extra curricular activities.

Online, we have Social Media, Search, Content and paid advertising.

Focus on really building and developing that Core Center of Influence.

Online, develop a content plan and strategy. Pick a theme for each month and then break that down by week.

This will help you with what you will share on Facebook; Facebook Live; YouTube Videos; Instagram; Blog posts and more.

Avoid the tendency to take a “spray and pray” approach to your business.

Instead be VERY intentional with what you share.

I've launched my SocialMediaBackstagePass.com program to teach these strategies.

You’re Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 306. We’re diving in deep today on Social Media, and specifically the how and why to use Social Media. Every week, I get emails from the community asking - how do I create an audience and engagement on Social Media, when I am just getting started. 

Is it still possible? Still works? 

Yes, Grasshopper, it is possible and it does work!

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. 

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.

I would love to publicly acknowledge you, too, for your support. 

How and Why to Use Social Media 

Let’s cover some key points on how and why to use social media and what it takes, to make it REALLY work for you. 

We’ll start with the HOW to use Social Media. 

Step 1 - Create GREAT content. Doesn’t matter what the content. Image quotes; blog posts; videos; asking questions - make it great, engaging and something your audience really gets value of some kind from. Even jokes! Think of who your “One Person” is? Who is your target audience and what appeals to that person? Start there. 

My Story. WAHM, Direct Sales, Real Estate. 

Step 2 - Build Your Fan Base or Community. This takes time, intention and focus. And, it takes consistency. Make it a two way street and be engaged with others in your similar community. 

Step 3 - Become known as that person who is “everywhere.” Yes, be everywhere. Now, I know I coach on picking one, maybe two social platforms to master, and then moving to others, and there is a lot you can do on more than two to get started and begin building community. 

Instagram for instance. If you are already posting image quotes on Facebook, also post them on Instagram and spend a quick sec on some keywords you’ll use on Instagram. 

If you are doing Facebook live or other video, add it to a YouTube channel as well, with some good keywords. 

Step 4 - Help Your Stuff Get Shared - this is also called going viral, or rather it’s the first step in the process. How do you get your stuff shared? Start by sharing the content of others in your niche, who will take notice and may share yours in return. Develop a few key loyal tribe members and ask them to share, and reciprocate. 

Step 5 - Track and document what works. Pay close attention to what gets shared and what goes unnoticed and pay attention and work to repeat what works. It takes some time, and you will see a pattern. 

Okay, so let’s talk about the WHY to use Social Media. 

Honestly there is no greater tool to leverage your time, geographic reach and efforts than Social Media. 

It’s been nearly 18 years that I have been online, generating leads and income daily. 

It allowed me to toss my advertising and paid leads list; stop hanging out in coffee shops waiting to be no-showed by my prospect; stop spending hours at weekly meetings; and, it allowed me to have my business out in front of big numbers of people without even needing to be physically present. 

It doesn’t matter if the kids are home sick, or you just broke out in hives. You can take daily action in your business using social media. IT is a no excuses approach! 

So, how do you make Social Media work for you? 

 I’m glad you asked…. 

MUSIC 

First step, take an inventory of your social media presence and look at it objectively, from the eyes of a prospect. 

What works and what doesn’t? Can someone easily tell what you do? Are you over salesy? Would they possibly run? 

Layout a marketing plan for social media. What platforms, what content, what days. 

You likely won’t get it right the first time. It takes some tweaking . And, you will find your path. 

If I were starting today, here is what I would do. 

I would reach out to all of my current social media contacts, and I would go to every networking event that I could find. I would meet, provide value and connect on Social Media. I would work my butt of getting engaged and beginning to know these people. BUILD Relationships. 

And, if you desire assistance, let’s talk about some coaching to set up your plan, including success language, social media and follow up.

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.

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.

Choosing Success in Your Business

I choose to welcome success into my life. That’s our Monday Mantra and our mantra for the week. Say it, write it down, post it on Post It Notes and also repeat -

I am choosing success in my business.

Let’s talk a little bit about the power, and the fallacy in mantras and then I want to share some thoughts on what it means to be choosing success in your business.

Mantras - they are talked about quite a bit, and they are powerful for a few things -

Keeping you focused on where you are headed and where you want to be, instead of staying stuck in one spot.

They are positive, they are uplifting and they can be a catalyst for shifting you to where you want to be.

The fallacy of mantras is when one just blindly recites them, expecting THAT one act to make the change.

It’s so much more than that. It’s FEELING your way to the success you want. It’s thinking about the mantra and the words you speak and feeling as if it were already true.

Remember, the mind does not differentiate between what is real and imagined, UNLESS, you are blindly reciting something that you don’t feel at all aligned with.

So, practice these mantras and do so in a way that allows you to feel what you are saying and where you want to be.

Okay, so now that we are clear on that, let’s talk about Choosing Success in Your Business.

What does that look and feel like for you?

Success - it’s an interesting word and it means different things to different people.

For most, it starts with that feeling of monetary success. Of starting something and taking the action necessary to create income; to create clients; referrals; team members; SALES.

I was recently interviewed by John Milton Fogg, also known as the Greatest Networker in the World, for a group of Russian entrepreneurs.

And, he asked me a question - what’s been the best thing for you about success in Direct Sales and your Home Business, and for me, with Social Media.

And, my answer is simple -

The money of course, was why I started. I wanted to create a better life for my children, my family and myself.

I wanted to travel and enjoy life, and not feel the struggle.

And, I achieved that. And, it’s been great.

Beyond all of that, however, it’s the knowledge that I DID IT. That I accomplished my goal. That I did more than just talk about it - I did it.

Along the way, I met amazing people and they are part of that success story. They ARE the success story.

No matter what ever happens, I OWN that story. 

What’s your story? What’s your story now, and the story you are passionate about creating?

How focused are you on achieving that success and that story?

How committed are you to achieving that success and that story?

How do you FEEL about achieving that success and that story?

How do you feel if you do NOT achieve that success and that story?

How would you feel about being that top producing Real Estate agent in your office?

Or the top recruiter and team builder in your Network Marketing company?

How would you like being the top new comer in your insurance company?

Do you know how simple it is to grow your own successful business?

It’s starts with just a decision, and then a little plan.

I am coaching a new real estate agent right now, and we are working through her fears first. We are moving her past herself and building her up to become the Go To person in her neighborhood, in her niche and on a national and worldwide basis. Imagine the referrals she can get from others outside of her area just by bonding through Social Media.

Social media is not a fad, and it is not a mystery.

IT’s a systematic process of authenticity, starting conversations, sharing value and building relationships.

It’s been my passion and made me a fortune for the last 18 years, almost. 18 in October.

If you want a little guidance, go to Profit in Your PJs now, and let’s get you on the path.

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!

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.


Trust Your Gut in Building Your Solopreneur Business

Have you ever had that absolute sense of knowing that you are on to something SOLID? And your gut is telling you that you are good to go, and to go for it?

Did you feel that way when you started to build your own business? Maybe it’s in Direct Sales, or Real Estate?

Maybe some told you that you were crazy, and to get your head out of the clouds?

Or that it would never work?

I had plenty of people tell me that when I decided to build my Network Marketing business online.

I began building a Direct Sales home business (offline) in 1994, and in 1999, I took my business to the Internet. I was an average home based business owner (a mom with two pre-school aged children, a husband gone half the month and a huge desire for more, ha!) before the Internet. I was not setting any records. I had success and did make money, but much of it was a struggle; much of it consisted of ways of doing the business that did not appeal to me.

I made my warm market list; contacted people and developed the skills I needed to talk to people about my business. I joined networking groups, the Chamber of Commerce and did all of the traditional methods you hear about. I struggled with contacting people in the beginning, and never wanted to be someone who chased my friends, family, neighbors and anyone who came within "3 feet of me!" Heard that story before?

I was just a stay-at-home mom who wanted to create something more for my family and future. I didn’t want my husband to have the stress of supporting a family of 4 on one income. I didn’t want to leaf through travel magazines and wish we could travel, too.

That was it! I was greener than green. Here are words and concepts I knew nothing about -

URL – had no idea what that term meant.

Domain name – See above.

Auto responder – that sounded WAY too techie to even think about. Even lead capture or splash page.

Search Engine, Optimize, Pay Per Click – all foreign terms.

Social Media Marketing – that term didn't even exist!!!

Here is what I did know –

The facts and figures associated with this growing phenomenon called The Internet was/is staggering. I wanted to be a part of it. I knew it was the answer to my prayers for growing a successful business. I knew this was going to be my ticket to success in MLM. I knew that it was going to take some effort, and it would be the best decision I would ever make. I knew this was how a stay-at-home mom with small children was going to make Network Marketing work!

I was sold. And, there was no turning back for me. I rolled up my sleeves and got busy.

Here’s what happened – it exceeded my wildest expectations. It created exactly what I wanted in a business from home and in Network Marketing, Information and Affiliate Marketing.

It allowed me to toss my advertising and paid leads list; stop hanging out in coffee shops waiting to be no-showed by my prospect; stop spending hours at weekly meetings; and, it allowed me to have my business out in front of big numbers of people without even needing to be physically present.

Pinch me! It was a dream come true, and quite honestly, I’m still lost in the dream! Except, it is really happening.

Today, I am hired to coach and train not only those in Direct Sales, but also Real Estate Agents, Mortgage Lenders, Solopreneurs, and many others.

Because like I knew nearly 18 years ago that my audience was going to the internet looking for answers, they know THEIR audience is there, too!

Old School methods will always work. And, never bury your head in the sand to new school techniques either.

That’s why it’s always important to trust your gut in Building Your Solopreneur Business

Staying Flexible Building Your Solopreneur Business

What a wild few weeks it has been. Have you missed me (GRIN!)

Let’s start with writing down our Monday Mantra - I stay focused on my true desire.

I have really been tested around this topic lately, which makes this Mantra so fitting.

First - iTunes and the Podcast.

I have had some major website challenges with “instability” and iTunes kicked me out of the store this past week, after my “RSS Feed” for my podcast began going up and down.

Techie stuff is NOT my strength or forte, and I am still in the process of getting it fixed. And, I WILL get it fixed.

I had a choice when it happened. Freak out; fall into a deep pit of despair, since it is a major source of leads and traffic, or take a deep breath, repeat the mantra and remember that above all, I am on track with the topic - Staying Flexible Building Your Solopreneur Business!”

People quit, people say no, websites go up and down. Shizzle happens!

How we react controls everything.

I am fully focused on my end goal and true desire, so I am not going to get frazzled by the little things that are fixable.

Have you read Rich Dad, Poor Dad or Cashflow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki? I read these in 1998 ish and they changed my whole perspective on what I am building. I am building a business asset for the long haul.

Are you?

When you know what you love, desire and are working toward, it’s easy to push through the little challenging obstacles and just keep going!!

You just have tunnel vision when you have a goal.  Keep going, no matter what.

As I mention on the show, I have some shifts going on in my business.

I would love to discuss these with you if you are open and looking.

http://WorkWithJackie.com - and let’s have a conversation! And remember each day that you are Staying Flexible Building Your Solopreneur Business!

You’re Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 300. I’ve heard it said that there are really only two emotions - Love and Fear. Everything else falls under one of these two emotions. If you think about it, it makes sense.  If you aren’t moving forward in your Network Marketing business, it could be due to fear. Is Fear Holding You Back in Your Direct Sales Business?

This week’s Mantra is - Between Love and Fear, I choose Love.

Is Fear Holding You Back in Your Direct Sales Business

Between Love and Fear, I choose Love.

Think about emotions and the concept of just two - Love and Fear.

When we are having success, it is wrapped up in excitement, joy, enthusiasm, feeling good. All of these ways of describing it fall under the emotional umbrella of Love. Kind of makes sense, doesn’t it?

When we are not having success, we can usually point to fear, procrastination, frustration, anger, feelings of inadequacy and more. And, we can get caught up in envy, resentment, jealousy, even.

These are all wrapped under the emotional umbrella of fear.

We procrastinate out of fear.

We feel frustrated because we are having fear, that is holding us back from taking those steps.

We do two things - and both involve connecting with another human being to see if they might be interested or know someone who is.

Think about that. When you break it down to its simplicity, you could talk to people literally all day. Pick any shopping mall and get busy.

But, we seldom do that. 

And why?

We have fear. What will they say? What will they think? 

If you learn the right skill sets though, we don’t ever have to worry about that.

We know what to say to build rapport. With anyone, anywhere. We know how to share what we do and ask for referrals, if they are not interested.

We know how to follow up and stay consistent with that. And, ideally we do all of that from a feeling of love, and excitement, and joy at what effect this might have on the person to whom we are speaking.

Fear, though is about Ego, and we are ego based when our main thought is about ourselves.

When you make your list and begin to contact those on the list to share your excitement about your products and the business, are you choosing to share with love?

Before each contact, simply say - Between Love and Fear, I choose Love.

Fear is normal, natural and there is probably not a person on the planet who will say they have not had fear at some point in their business.

Fear is a constant for many of us. Courage is not the absence of fear, but the desire for something greater and therefore a willingness to push through fear.

I did not say get over fear. I said push past it.

What steps will you take to push through your fear. To land on the other side where all great things are?

Is Fear Holding You Back in Your Direct Sales Business? Maybe at one time, but no more!

Attraction Marketing Online and Offline For Your Direct Sales Business

Being an entrepreneur is a unique gig. It is not always 8-5, and people sometimes ask me in a negative way why I might work on weekends. I find it interesting that the days of the week one works would determine one’s success?

If you know how to network offline, you’ll naturally know how to network online and not be a spammer and turn everyone off. It’s not an advertising platform, by any means.

My Story before the Internet.

I already had nearly 6 years and a team of 10,000 going on before I went online.

I had joined the Tempe Chamber of Commerce and was an Ambassador and was in front of people on a regular basis.

And, yes, I had BIG fears. Direct Sales at these networking events was not very common except Mary Kay and maybe Avon.

I took nearly 12 years off from Networking when I moved to Lake Arrowhead. When I re-entered the networking scene in Ventura, WOW - it was filled with Direct Sales - most of whom are going about it ALL WRONG.

Master your Message so you can Monetize your Message.

Know how to give a solid commercial that is engaging, informative and more like an infomercial than flat out advertising.

Know how to work these effectively! http://StreetSmartNetworker.com 

Learn how to dram people into the networking event. Develop some simple ice breakers and get them talking about themselves.

Comment on something they are wearing. Mention their accent. Find something to get them talking!

Build your top 100 list of clients, past and present, referral partners and future clients.

Figure out how you can provide value in what you know and offer. Position yourself as a resource for them and who they know.

Don’t make the mistake of leading with your opportunity at these events! These people are here at these events to promote their own business so approaching them at this event is a turn off.

Doesn’t mean they won’t be open, just save that for the one on one that you are going to schedule for later!

I am able to easily share and demo my business in about 20 minutes using my phone, our app and the videos.


Don’t take your network marketing business online out of fear. You’ll most often fall flat on your face.

Here are some things to avoid online -

Messenger - do not blatantly pitch and then especially apologize for it!

He needs http://JackieUlmer.com/cmfb

And, he was receptive and he bought it! Here’s hoping he improves his prospecting skills for all of us!

Don’t turn off the very people who you would most want to sponsor?

Making new Friends sample -

Hi Kim. Nice to connect and thanks for the friend request! What prompted you to add me?

I'm a networker so I like to do more than just rack up "friends" 

Tell me a little about you? Looks like you are with Keller Williams? Great company. How long have you been in real estate?

I also see that you are a Brian Klemmer student! Awesome. Me too. And my hubby went to MU too. We have a lot in common! But do I also see USC?

Remember to always be involved in active prospecting as well as passive marketing! This podcast and blog post is passive marketing.

Offline - join fun groups. I’ve just joined a Bunco group to meet new people in my area.

They DO work. Like crazy. I’ve bene to networking events where over half the people there are in some type of Network Marketing company.

Change Your Thoughts and Explode Your Direct Sales Business

One Small positive thought can change my whole day.

Become aware of your thoughts. Become aware of your feelings.

If you aren’t having the success you want in Network Marketing, what are you thinking and saying about this?

Name the top the things in your life that you are spending most of your time thinking about these days. Write them down.

Now, think about how you think about these things. Are you mostly having positive or negative thoughts?

And, hoe much of your day is spent thinking about these things?

Begin to consciously shift the statements or questions you have around these issues.

Questions -

How might I….

What do I require to know to….

Who do I aspire to become…

What quality in me will attractive right people to my network marketing business?

How might I appeal to more people?

Each day, I am getting better and better. With each action step I take in my business.

What would be the worst that could happen? And, would I survive it?

What would be the best that could happen?

I used a hairband around my wrist and would pull it back and snap it on my wrist when I caught myself thinking negatively.

I was recently talking to someone at a networking event who found out what I do, and say - Oh, I’ve never been good at Network Marketing.

I simply asked - “Why? Why do you think you have not been good at network marketing?”

My goal is not to change her mind, but instead just to listen and see where the conversation leads us. 

“My friends and family are different…”

So, remember this - One Small positive thought can change my whole day. Say it, practice it and feel it within your whole body!


Why do I care more about what someone else thinks of me and my ego around it, than I do of my own desire to be successful?

 Discipline, Distraction and Daily Habits in Direct Sales

I love today’s topic because it brings up all of the issues that I personally have struggled with in my Direct Sales Career. So you won’t hear me say - oh, get over it!

I haven’t forgotten what it feels like to be there!

Wendy asks - I struggle with taking daily action and getting new habits set.

Let’s start with WHY, and also what is it you are struggling with? Are you blocking time for those 2 income producing activities that we do in Network Marketing?

Write down your action plan and those habits you must do!

Mary asks - Fear of making phone calls!! I will put it off and avoid avoid avoid- even doing housework to avoid. I love your podcast, and feel inspired and ready to take off in my business when listening, but just like always, fear of the phone knocks the inspiration right out of me.  I love what I do and get told all of the time by clients and newcomers to parties that I am good at this,  but when I have to call for bookings, I convince myself I want to quit every time. I survive and get by as a part time business (full time SAHM of 5) on word of mouth, but I know if I could overcome this, I could do so well. Booking in the moment and recruiting in the moment haven't been successful because I seem to be surrounded by women who are as busy as I am and not looking for a career. 
I would love to turn this love into a successful career now that kids are in school but this issue gives me a stomachache, keeps me up at night, and right now even- I break into a serious sweat!

Yes, many do struggle with Discipline, Distraction and Daily Habits in Direct Sales! I sure did. Thanks Mary, for being so real and authentic.

3 pieces to this - Phone Fear, Success Language and Talking to the right people.

Could you text or send a Facebook message to introduce your direct sales business, instead of using the phone to call?

What are you saying that creates a win win to your potential party host? Why would she open her home, her refrigerator and her rolodex for you? Success Language is  everything.

And, I get it on being surrounded by other busy moms who don’t want a side business.

Get yourself out in front of business people. Introduce to everyone, but know that business oriented people usually get it faster.

Helen says - My biggest obstacle with my home based business at the moment, I feel is the fact that I do not have enough discipline and I am easily distracted.  In addition to this, I also work as an English and Italian tutor (I do this right now to put food on the table, I am a single mom with NO support from my ex.), and I am having a difficult time deciding how to share my working time between the two businesses. (eventually I would like to stop working as a tutor and dedicate all my time into growing my business.)

How strong is that why and what will you sacrifice to get there? How badly do you want to be full time in your business?

I’m excited to share  with you that 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.


"How come you've never shared this before?"

Ackkkk, busted. Well, sort of.

Truth is, I have shared this and taught all
of this before. But, mostly just to my own
Direct Sales Team.

Why? Because most everyone has always
been so caught up in being "afraid" of talking
to their warm market, that they blocked out
anything that was about creating

New Warm Market Offline!

Here is the funny thing about warm market -

Everyone IS a warm market to someone. So, even
if you attract leads online - they know someone who is
probably in a business their friend would LOVE....

And join.....

But, they don't KNOW about it.

But, I digress.....

Yes, I worked my business 100% ONLINE
for over a decade, when I lived in a small
mountain community without a top light
and certainly no real offline networking.

When I moved to a bigger city at the beach,
and my children were grown, I jumped back
into the offline world of networking.

And, I sold over $17,000 in products
in a few short months as a DIRECT RESULT
of NETWORKING offline.

Here was the key though -

I learned and MASTERED a few key things -

One - I learned how to create a ROCK
SOLID Commercial (elevator pitch, etc!)

Second, I learned how to "sell without selling!"
(What the WHAT?!?!?! Yes, this can be done!)

Third, I perfected how to get my business in
front of ALMOST ANYONE with just ONE key 
question.

Fourth, I became a MASTER at follow up
and building relationships BEFORE the sale.

Fifth, AND PROBABLY THE BEST PART -

I mastered how to bring social media (Facebook
and LinkedIn, specifically) into the equation
and build MUCH faster relationships and
create interest in ME and then my business.

I was recently approached to teach this

learn these skills.

That's all it is - LEARNED skills.

Look For Adventure and Opportunity in Your Direct Sales Business

As I always say - write down our mantra each week, and commit it to memory. Say it - My Life is an exciting adventure filled with opportunity and reward.  - many times throughout the day.

Feel what those words mean to you. Close your eyes and visualize a scene of that happening.

What is adventure in your life and business?

What is opportunity in your life and business?

What is reward in your life and business?

I want to share a little of my past week.

Monday, I had an appointment to sign up a new client in my business. I chiropractic office who wants to do a  better jog remembering birthdays and appreciating their clients, and want a little Social Media training, too.

I plugged the address into Siri and set off. What an ADVENTURE. I ended up in the sticks, and felt sure I was lost, but decided to do my best and enjoy the sheer beauty of the adventure. It was fabulous, and I arrived right on time.

The peaceful drive also gave way to a phone call with a Real Estate agent in Idaho, who ended up being my latest team partner.

That was adventure, opportunity and reward.

The client meeting went great and I am getting them launched this week.

Another adventure, opportunity and reward. I met some great people, too.

Tuesday, I was invited to share my business and products at a Chamber of Commerce Lunch and Learn. It went great and I picked up some solid business leads, as well as had a great video shot and shared on my Facebook wall. You can see it over at my Facebook profile. Link in the show notes.

That immediately generated 3 leads online, of local people who are part of the Chamber and saw the video they had shared.

More adventure, opportunity and reward.

Always remember to Look For Adventure and Opportunity in Your Direct Sales Business.

Thursday, I was invited to help so video interviews for several business in Arizona for part of a networking colleagues new project, Who is Arizona. 

I debated cancelling, as I am not as far along as I would like to be on a project I am working on with my sales store and products, Facebook Ads and my marketing funnels.

And so the thought of a day shot was not exciting. But, I also knew it would be good exposure and get me in front of some highly connected people.

Boy, am I ever glad I went!

I am now a prominent part of that website, with my face and voice in a lot if videos. I also was able to create a professional, 3 minute video of my own that I can use on my own site and in promotions!

Very exciting stuff.

I also shared a 15 minute presentation to all of the businesses on High Tech/High Touch Marketing, how to generate endless leads. I have several prospects to follow up with!

Again, more adventure, opportunity and reward.

So, what are you doing to Look For Adventure and Opportunity in Your Direct Sales Business?

You’re Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 294, and today I'm answering the question - should I build my business or my brand? This is usually a question about TIME and building online or offline.

Should I Build My Business or My Brand

This is a question I am asked quite often and it usually involves some conversation around Time, and how to fit it all in. And, it's about offline, old school network marketing and contacting your warm market list, going to networking events and other activities.

Or, creating content such as blogging, videos and social media.

Here are the key points -

Your BRAND is you, whether offline or online.

You ALWAYS want to do some form of income producing activities FIRST.

If you know my story, you know that I was building my business for 6 years offline before I discovered the power of the internet, and while it changed my business, I probably would have never gotten to that point if I had not developed the commitment and the business skills needed to move forward.

Your BRAND is your online content as well as who you "are" offline. What do people say to describe you, and your business?

Can they sum it up in a sentence? Two sentences?

One thing I love about building the online piece of your brand is the leverage it gives you.

Spend 3 hours at a networking event and get your commercial and business in front of 50 people - GREAT.

But, no one else can ever experience that presentation or that time again.

Create a video and share it on Facebook or YouTube, ten, one hundred, and thousands can see and experience that over time.

THAT is powerful.

And, it takes time, focus and consistency.

Give yourself a 90 day challenge. Right now, I am challenging myself to massive networking offline for 90 days, and facebook live online!

I'm focused on building my audience in both places.

Where are you focused?

You’re Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 293. This week's Mantra and affirmation is - Success and Achievement are natural outcomes for me. Let's get into how
Success and Achievement in Direct Sales fit into our mindset and what those words mean to us.

Success and Achievement in Direct Sales

Success and Achievement are natural outcomes for me.

Think about those words, and the feelings you have around them.

Take each word one at a time, specifically the words Success and Achievement.

When you think of success, what comes to mind? How do you define success in your own life?

How about the word achievement?

For much of my life, I defined success purely around my career and the income I earned from my career. Success was almost only about money for me.

It's how I defined my success.

I work with a lot of women and many are stay home moms now, and they had rewarding careers before motherhood.

Dad, too, often.

Many of these women do not control the checkbook and money is doled out to them and they are often controlled by the money, or lack of it.

It can be very disempowering to go from having money and an income to being dependent and having to ask for money.

It can leave one feeling vulnerable, scared, unworthy and frustrated, among other things.

When I was 14, I had a disagreement with my mom about my back to school clothes and the budget she gave me.

She flippantly told me to get a job and so I did.

I never looked back and I loved the control it gave me over my life, my decisions, what I wore, what I could do and buy.

Today, I am finally comfortable and confident saying - I am motivated by money!

And, I am. I am ambitious.

It's okay for women to feel this way. It's not uncool to be a woman who feels this way.

Money gives us the ability to be a better giver. It gives us more opportunity. It's not the root of all evil.

We put labels on ourselves as women, very often. As Women.

It's not always the men.

Achievement is a word that works much the same way.

As a child, achievement was about ribbons and trophies and how I earned the money. It was about awards.

I've finally grown past that and realize that achievement can be as simple as -

Crossing things off my to do list.

Eating Well.

Working out.

Having fun with family and friends.

Once I learned to shift my thoughts around success and achievement, things really changed for me.

By allowing myself to feel successful and a sense of achievement in other ways besides money and career, it opened up the pathway for me to experience more success in the monetary sense.

What do these words mean for you?

Write it down, say it, and spend the week getting a clear picture on what these words mean to you.

Success and Achievement in Direct Sales starts with this solid affirmation -

Success and Achievement are natural outcomes for me.

How to Be More Productive in Your Side Hustle Business

Laura McClellan could be full of excuses as to how and why she can't build a successful Side Hustle business.

I discovered her one night while listening in and surfing through podcasts one sleepless night. Do you ever have those?

I was immediately attracted to her style and her story and thought you would surely get a lot out of her story!

We cover:

Her family and how she juggles.

How and why she became an attorney.

How to have Omni Focus

What about the myth of balance?

How to turn your dreams into goals and then accomplish them.

The importance of writing everything down.

Our fears and obstacles.

What's important to you? Why, and understanding that.

And, of course, her definitions of productivity.

State of the Direct Sales Profession March 2017

Success leaves clues and I want to share with you some of my personal results for this past month.

I've just finished up a "Best Personal Month" for February, 2017, and I like sharing my own personal results so you can be in the trenches with me, so to speak, and know that I practice what I TEACH.

I'm also a coach and trainer, as well as building my own team in Direct Sales and so there is no theory here.

Here is what we cover -

How to create your OWN economy in Direct Sales, regardless of politics or who the President is.

Networking - my 90 day blitz. And what I've learned.

Lead with Product, not Opportunity.

Schedule those 1 on 1 meetings with those who you resonate with.

Follow up - don't drop the ball.

Carry business cards. It's just a sign of a pro!

Customers - another hot topic. Build a solid, long term business with customers!

What's working for YOU? I would love to hear.

Money is Not the Answer to Prosperity Problems

 

Years ago, when I was struggling in my Network Marketing business, leaders who were already making money would say - Have fun, enjoy the journey.

 

And, I thought that was the STUPIDEST thing I had ever heard. How could I enjoy the journey when the money was not flowing in at the time?

 

Here are some highlights from the show -

 

Prosperity is many different things and money is just one.

 

Gratitude and Appreciation for what you have and where you are NOW is the key!

 

Release, relax and find joy.

 

Are you looking? At a crossroads? I have been there, and there is no harm, no foul and no shame.

 

We don’t always get it right the first time.

 

Listen to my last show - http://JackieUlmer.com/288 where I share some of my journey and struggle the last two years.

 

That is how we learn and grow!

Choosing Between Two Direct Sales Companies

Here are the bullet points on today's show and why you want to listen all the way through.

I'm covering 3 things -

How to Choose Between Two (or More) Companies
Can You Work 2 Direct Sales Companies
My Real, Authentic Story


Criteria For Choosing the Company

What's Your Goal and WHY?
How do you feel about the product?
Do you understand what you'll be doing to market and share the product and opportunity? The language and the tools?
Do you understand how to succeed in the Compensation Plan? What do you need to do to make $500?
What's your relationship with your Sponsor and do they have what it takes to help you succeed, or can/will they connect you?
What's your gut?


Can You Work 2 Companies?

Again, what's your goal and your why?
Hard to succeed in ONE, much less TWO.
There is an issue of Transparency and Trust
How you feel about it and handle it will be big.
Develop Good Success Language around why.


My Story

6 years with first company
Frustrations
Health and Wellness - BIG NO
Being at a Crossroads
Finding the Perfect Fit
Getting Frustrated
Making a move to work with my daughter
The value in what I learned about myself
The value in branding you - website issues, non comliance and getting suspended

I Find the Beauty in Life and Business - Monday Mantra

Today’s mantra is Today I Find the Beauty in Life and Business. Say this all week. Write it down and speak it out loud, put it on your phone, on a sticky note on your mirror and anywhere to regularly remind yourself of what you are doing.

Wow, what a week it has been. Amazing things have shown up, It's funny how all of life and business are aligned and what a powerful role gratitude can play in bringing more of everything you want into life and business!

I practice gratitude every morning, day and night. I love stopping, being present in the moment and appreciating what I HAVE and appreciating knowing that more is coming.

Amazing things have shown up this week. One chance networking event, that I tried to talk myself out of, ;ed me to meet a beautiful woman, who invited me to an amazing party, where I connected with other amazing people and I ended up at a high end networking event that blew my socks off.

It's bringing good things my way and reinforcing how far I have grown!

Right before I recorded this, I received an exciting text from a great gal who is joining me in business. So, that is beautiful!

I met with a gentleman today and I feel like I can add such value to his business. And that is beautiful.

Be grateful for all encounters. Listen for the messages. Learn from every event.

So, practice today's #Affirmation, and see what shows up.

For the next week, practice our Monday Mantra for Direct Sales Success. Say it to yourself first thing in the morning, and last thing at night, before you go to sleep. And, repeat it many times throughout the day.

That’s it - Today I Find the Beauty in Life and Business - Monday Mantra.

State of the Direct Sales Profession February 2017

This show and content is for anyone who is a SoloPreneur -

Direct Sales
Network Marketing
Real Estate
Insurance Sales
Party Plan

Anyone who “hangs their own shingle!”


What’s Hot -

Customers - YES, there is no sin in having customers. We are moving away from just the personal consumption model, and putting more emphasis on Customers. The recent rulings by the FTC on companies like Vemma, Fortune HiTech, and even Herbalife to some extent, these past few years, more companies are putting much more emphasis on customers. And, this is a great way to get your own auto ship covered. 

IT keeps people in the game and gives them some immediate success.


Networking Events - these are also hot. These people are ripe for one on ones, and getting together to learn about your business and of course get the opportunity to share about their own. The challenge most network marketers have is that they don’t know how to be a professional networker. What to DO with that stack of business cards.

Watch my video where I share exactly how to do this -

https://www.facebook.com/streetsmartwealth/videos/10154951782049192/

At the event, lead with your product up front, and then share the opportunity side during the one on one!

You must expand your warm market because no one can build a business solely on the backs of friends and family. Get out and meet some people!!

Learn good success language and learn how to start conversations with people.

You can see my video on ice breakers here -

https://www.facebook.com/streetsmartwealth/videos/10154935279614192/

What else is hot - 3rd Party Approach and Referrals - get very comfortable asking for referrals and using the 3rd party approach. Resistance is created when you come AT people vs asking for a favor.

Asking for an opinion is always in style! People love to give opinions and do favors!

Follow Up - this is another HOT topic in ALL of business. What to do with that stack of business cards? See my video above on Facebook to get a GREAT idea of what to do.

My 5 Star Marketing System will train you on how to do this.

Treat Your Business Like a Business - have set hours. These can be whenever you want, but you must commit to a specific number of hours and activities each day.

Facebook Live - VERY hot in whatever business you are in.  Set a 30 day challenge do do Facebook live. And don’t worry about being great. Very few people will even SEE it when you are just starting. Remember Advertising 101 - it takes 7-9 times, on average, to make a sale! So consistency is important so you catch your prospect when the time is right!

Friends List - Creating new warm market on Facebook is huge, and an easy way to keep track of people is to sort them into lists. Your friends and contacts are your working inventory in your business. They are the ones who buy products; who buy/sell homes; who become team partners. Find people on Social Media sites and connect.

http://JackieUlmer.com/facebookprofits

LinkedIn is really hot for building business relationships.


Samples - people are receptive to samples and trying things. Use part of your auto ship and SAMPLE!

Instagram Stories and Snapchat are also Hot in Social Media!

Ask people the best place to connect with them. Identify where your target audience is hanging out!


So what is NOT hot?

Blatant Pitching - your target audience and prospects you would LOVE to bring into your business are watching you and the last thing they want to do is spam their friends. When you are blatant pitching on your wall, they are running far and fast.

Share things that create curiosity, above all.

Your Facebook Business page is where you want to conduct the bulk of your business!

Engage with people, including thought leaders. Not everyone is going to join your business, but they can help create exposure for you 

Adding People to Facebook Groups - this is SO not cool. It’s like ripping someone away from a conversation they are having and plopping them down in your living room.

Poor Listening. Online and Offline. But face to face, do not get on your phone in the middle of a conversation. Make the person you are speaking with at the moment the most important person in the universe at that time!


Join my team - this is WAY old school online and offline. Yuck. Where is the “What’s in It For Me?” 

Don’t use company graphics - bring yourself into the photo because that create authenticity.

Don’t use Salesy terminology like - “The Best”, Share the value in what you offer and let others tell YOU why it is the best.

Do Your Best in Direct Sales

Today’s mantra is Today I gave it my best and tomorrow will be even better. Say this all week. Write it down and speak it out loud, put it on your phone, on a sticky note on your mirror and anywhere to regularly remind yourself of what you are doing.

Let's face it, we only control so much of what goes on in our lives. We control our emotions, our thoughts, feelings and our actions. Our actions are how you do your best in Direct Sales.

If you will make sure that each and every day, you give it your very best, you will be happier, and success will naturally make its way to you.

Practice this in each area of your life, not just your direct sales business.

How can you do your best?

Show up with an action plan and actually ACT on it. Do income producing activities in your business. Reach out to two people a day and use the 3rd party approach.

Follow up. Be interested in others. Be engaged and be about more than just business. Always ask - how can I create a win win in business with my prospects and those who are interested?

Be a professional.

Be able to look yourself in the mirror at the end of each day and say - if everyone on my team did what I did today, we will all be sitting on a beach together soon, sipping coconut drinks!

Be the leader! Every day - Do Your Best in Direct Sales!


So, practice today's #Affirmation, and see what shows up.

For the next week, practice our Monday Mantra for Direct Sales Success. Say it to yourself first thing in the morning, and last thing at night, before you go to sleep. And, repeat it many times throughout the day.

That’s our Monday Mantra - Today I gave it my best and tomorrow will be even better.

You’re Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 284, and today is a Q and A show, meaning I am covering the questions you have asked me, either on Twitter, or the Facebook business page. And, today’s main question is How to Get More Facebook Fans and adding people to your list once they are on your page. I’m going to share 4 ways to boost your page likes.

How to Get More Facebook Fans

This really is the QUESTION of the year. Who doesn’t want to know more How to Get More Facebook Fans and likes.

We don’t want to wear out our friends with constantly posting on our Facebook profile, and yet we want to do business on Facebook.

Facebook has gone to more of a pay to play model, but there are plenty of pages that are getting engagement and growing without spending money, or at least not a lot. So how to Get More Facebook Fans without paying a fortune, then?


Create quality content.
Personally invite your TARGET audience.
The #1 Way to get eyeballs to your page.
Be consistent.

Creating Quality content that your target audience is interested in on Facebook helps tremendously with how to Get More Facebook Fans.

Did you listen to the show last week on the Facebook Algorithm? Go to JackieUlmer.com/282 to first understand this, so you can know how your content will better show up.

This leads me to #2 on our top 4 list, which is personally inviting your target audience to like your page. This is so important.

Do not use the Invite people feature that Facebook is going to show you. Why? How many times are you invited to Like a page and then just ignore it? Or miss it altogether?

Those notifications are annoying to many people and seldom really create likes and certainly don’t create raving fans, which is what you really want.

You only want to invite your target audience. And, have you taken time to identify who that is? Spend some time creating your target audience avatar and know who you are speaking to with the content you create.

Contrary to popular belief, it is not everyone. Fine tune the qualities you are looking for in your top prospect and speak mostly to that person. You will attract others.

My focus for years was stay home moms, as that is who I was and I could speak that language very well.

Today, I focus on Real Estate Agents, Solopreneurs and those in Direct Sales because I have something that can help them move their business forward.

Learn more about that at WorkWithJackie.com

So, what is your focus? What are the qualities of the perfect person for working with you? What are their challenges and pains? What solutions do you provide?

When you know these things, you can more easily create content that speaks to that audience.

Also, if you struggle with creating content, I have a done for you content program that is going to give you 3 pieces of content weekly that can be used on your blog, and on social media. This will get you in the habit of creating content and understanding your audience and what gets engagement.

Go to JackieUlmer.com/dfy

The 3rd piece in the equation to get more likes is Facebook Live. There is seriously no better way to get views, likes and engagement right now than Facebook Live. And, VERY few people are using it, so why aren’t you? 

The first time, just give it a try. Have fun and let people know you are just testing it out to see how it works. Share something funny or engaging and just get the first go at it out of the way.

Try to always end with a call to action. Live video can be an integral part of your social media marketing, so make the most of it by directing your audience to a specific place. Include a simple call to action at the end of your video, such as to visit your website or private message you for more information on the topic. Send them to your list or free giveaway. This is a powerful way to grow your list.


Finally, be consistent. You need to create a regular posting schedule so that you DO show up in the newsfeed of your target audience. Teach your fans how to select See First option when they like your page so your info does show up for them.

Begin to post daily and then bump it up to 3 times a day, at varied times. Check your insights to see when your fans are most likely to see your content based on when they are on the site. Facebook provides you with all of this info.

If you want to know more about the best type of content; why you don’t want to invite your whole family and everyone you know to like your page; how to know the best times to post for the most engagement; ideas for building your brand on Facebook, and how to really nail down your target audience, check out Facebook For Direct Sales Profits - http://JackieUlmer.com/facebookprofits


And track your page likes over the next 30 days and see what shows up!

This week, let’s set an intentional mindset for Direct Sales Success.

Each Monday, I’ll share a mantra in the podcast, on the blog and over on my Facebook group, to help you develop success language to get you through the week.

Intentional Mindset for Direct Sales Success 

Thoughts are things, and we know this. It’s nothing new. What you think about, will come about.

Look where you are in your life right now. This is your vision, and you are living the intentions you practice, whether you like it or not.

Want to change it up? Shift your thoughts. Start with a mantra. This week, say to yourself - I have an Intentional Mindset for Direct Sales Success, and then practice our mantra -

 I intentionally develop the mindset, thoughts, and beliefs I need to move past the friction and obstacles in my life.

Think about these 3 key things for a minute -

Mindset - check in on what your mindset is telling you regarding your business. Is it empowering, or disempowering?

Thoughts - check in on your thoughts regarding your success in Direct Sales. Have you had success? Have you taken action? What role do your thoughts play in either one? Your success and your actions? Our thoughts determine where we do, what we do.

Beliefs - mindset and thoughts enforce our beliefs. What do you believe about Direct Sales? Do you believe it works? Do you believe it only works for others?

When you reflect on these 3 things, what do they tell you about your Intentional Mindset for Direct Sales Success? Have you set yourself up for the success you want?

For the next week, practice our Monday Mantra for Direct Sales Success. Say it to yourself first thing in the morning, and last thing at night, before you go to sleep. And, repeat it many times throughout the day.

That’s our Monday Mantra - I intentionally develop the mindset, thoughts, and beliefs I need to move past the friction and obstacles in my life. This week, let’s set an intentional mindset for Direct Sales Success.

You’re Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 282, and one of my most common questions is about Facebook and how, why and when people see your stuff on Facebook. Are you wondering why you don’t have more engagement? Or, are you wondering who is seeing your stuff on Facebook? Let’s talk about Understanding the Facebook Algorithm

Understanding the Facebook Algorithm 

Do you ever wonder how or why certain things show up in your newsfeed? How come you see Susie Q’s updates all of the time; and yet only occasionally see Joe Rockstars?

While Facebook never reveals exactly how the algorithm works, there is one and there are things we can figure out just by paying attention. 

A lot of what you see is going to be determined by a few key things -

How many friends you have
Your interests and those things you comment, like and engage about
Videos you watch
Common interests you share with others

Those are just a few.

Now, if you live in the US, and you experienced, or are experiencing the political circus we have going on with the November 2016 Election of Donald Trump; the defeat of Hilary Clinton and all of the craziness that has surrounded the political circles. 

Facebook has been full of “fake news”, Alternative news, mud slinging and unfriending. It’s a little scary to be out there.

Now, as you are listening to this, and depending on where you live, you may be oblivious to this. If so, it’s because of where you live, and the fact that you have not liked, commented or engaged much with anyone who is sharing about the election or politics.

I don’t personally get involved in politics on Facebook, but I do occasionally read the posts of others, or watch some video. Overtime I do that, I get a barrage of political stuff that overtakes my newsfeed.

Why? Well, Facebook noticed what I was clicking on and watching, even though I was not commenting or liking. Based on this, Facebook began to show me more of this because it assumed that I wanted to see this, was interested in this subject because I was clicking and watching.

This will help you have a better Understanding of the Facebook Algorithm. In a nutshell, that is how it works.

Facebook only shows up to 300 pieces of content in anyone’s newsfeed at any time. And, they are going to show you what they think you want to see, based on your friends, your interests, new friends you’ve made, pages you like, groups you belong to, things you’ve interacted on already, searches you’ve done and so on.

Have you ever thought that Facebook is saturated for your company, or even direct sales? Nothing could be further from the truth! Facebook is showing you what it thinks you want to (with no judgement) based on YOU and how you have told it to behave!

You tell Facebook how to behave with you based on your profile; your background; your friends; your interests; where you’ve been; who you’ve been with; what you did; who you tagged; keywords in your profile; business pages you like; new interests you have (like a new company, and new friends and new pages/groups based around that) and so on!

When you make friends with someone, Facebook sees what your common interests are. If you interact a lot, especially in the beginning, Facebook will show you more from that person and your mutual interests. 

When you engage with people, Facebook shows you their content, which is why you will notice if you pay attention that Facebook shows you mostly the people you interact with most frequently.

Take my son, for example. He’s on Facebook but is not a raving fan, nor social media junkie. He posts occasionally, and likes/engages from time to time. Unless I go find his page; or he tags me; or a bunch of our mutual friends interact with one of his status updates, he almost NEVER shows up organically in my newsfeed.

Creating friends lists can help you stay more engaged with the right people and move outside of that 300 post limit Facebook is choosing for you.

Be sure you listen to my podcast on the Facebook 5 - 5 Times a Day; 5 Minutes; and 5 Areas to focus on!

Monday Mantra I Am Enough 

I am enough. What thoughts come up for you when you hear, read or say that phrase to yourself?

The dictionary quotes enough as - adequate, sufficient and fully.

What is it that cause us to feel like less than enough? We feel inadequate; insufficient and like we are not fully….enough.

How do you view success? What does success mean to you? How do you measure it?

It’s often a monetary way that we measure success. And, we base it on our work or career.

Work - how do you feel like you are, or are not enough? How might you become “enough?”

Relationships - how do you define my relationships and how do you feel like you are, or are not enough? How might you become “enough?”

Success - same here - how do you feel like you are, or are not enough? How might you become “enough?” What would practicing our Monday Mantra I am Enough - do for you?

Understand the timeline of success, follow up, longevity and consistency in your business, and learn not to measure your success by what happens TODAY, or who joins TODAY. 

Shift your success measurement around the action steps that you need and must take to get you where you want to be.

Gratitude is the foundation of all success, and an important part of your life and business. Practice gratitude today just by looking around.

Ask yourself - do I have enough today RIGHT now, to survive? Am I fed, clothed, warm, have shelter?

Try a 30 day gratitude challenge where you jot down 10 things you are grateful for once in the morning and again at night. Watch how this moves you to the next level and creates more in your life.

Write it down - I Am ENOUGH.

That’s our Monday Mantra I Am Enough.

Bugs on the Windshield in Direct Sales

On a recent road trip, I experienced firsthand some "bugs on the windshield." We were out of the city,  driving up a mountain and drove through a LARGE swarm of some kind of big, awful bug and our windshield was SOAKED in guts and water (sorry, a little graphic!)
 
It made me think about some of the current trends in life and business and that phrase we hear in Network Marketing - "Bugs on the Windshield."
 
Sometimes, you get pounded with a swarm -
 
Someone who was really being counted on quits.
 
Someone who was really being counted on signs up with someone else.
 
The company won't change the labels.
 
There are too many conference calls.
 
There is too much training.
 
There are too many emails.
 
An email or phone call doesn't get returned quickly enough.
 
The answer can't be found.
 
 
Whatever it is, all of us have those times that we feel the bugs have invaded. It's going to happen in life; friendships; with children; and with our life partners. Sometimes, it invades an entire town or community. It certainly happens in business.
 
You've heard it before - Tough times don't last but tough people do.
 
You are here because you are "a tough people!!!" (Okay, person.)
 
 
NOTE TO SELF - STOP WHINING; STOP THE PITY PARTY; STOP FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF; GET OFF YOUR DUFF AND GET BACK IN THE GAME.
 
Now, before you think that was directed at you, please read on. That is the copy from a note that I placed on my closet door a few years back.
 
I won't get into all of the reasons I put that there, but they were all personal and had to do with fires; neighbors who lost everything and moved; a neighbor diagnosed terminal who passed away last week; and the helplessness and "survivor guilt" that surrounds all of that. I went through a period when I just couldn't get revved up to work on my business. It felt almost "trivial" in light of all that had been lost.
 
The reality is, I can't change any of that. Just like, in most cases, none of us can change the things that are dealt to us that seem devastating. As another leader recently shared about their local tragedy, we all have a choice in how we look at things and what we do about them; how we react.
 
Seasons come and go. Spring brings buds, blooms and new growth. Winter and Fall are like a "death"; a cleansing. We have this same thing in our lives and in our businesses.
 
Things change; people change; teams change. My son cried his 7 year old heart out at the end of his first hockey season. He knew he would not get the same team again the next season. He was right. He had a different team; and another one the next season, and so on. And they were all wonderful in their own way, and yet different.
 
Our team's will change; leadership changes; products change, and yet there is always reason to embrace that change and make room for the new that awaits. It's all about looking at the door opening and not at the one closing.
 
You are a champion. And, you have a championship season ahead of you. If you just stay in the game, you won't choke at the free throw line. You'll sink the ball; be lifted on the team's shoulders and ride off into the sunset.
 
When business "slow downs" happen, the first thing to look at is yourself. Did you change anything? Make an adjustment? Take time out to do this, that or the other thing? What are you doing differently? Are you taking the same action steps daily?
 
There are two things that speak loud and clear – results and excuses.

Which do you produce more of on a daily basis? 
When your business isn't moving forward the way you want it to, who do you blame?
When chaos consumes your life, who do you blame?
At the end of the day, when you are in a funk, who do you blame?

In my early days in my business, I lived with a lot of excuses and blame –

Things will be better when the company does THIS.
Things will be better when my downline does THAT.
More people will be interested when THIS happens.
What a train wreck that kind of thinking was!

I have watched people spend thousands of dollars and thousands of hours building systems and the "perfect" mousetrap, and yet no more mice were caught. I've looked for that holy grail as well.

Success in this business is NOT about systems; NOT about the next new product; NOT about the perfect script; NOT about what others can and should do for you.

Yes, systems can help; and new products are nice; and new scripts may feel more comfortable. But they are not what determine your ultimate success.

Success in this business, day in and day out, lies with YOU.

Every day, success is a choice. Every step you take and every step you delay determines your success.

What steps will you take and what steps will you delay today? The answers will determine your success and the speed of it.

 Today, I feel empowered by what lies ahead; challenged by the new things coming; new trainings being taught and new ways of reaching out to people.

We don't need more training; more calls; or more "stuff." We just need more nuts and bolts action.

Everything anyone needs to be successful is available. The leaders will reach out and grab it. You just need to point them in the right direction and certainly, support them. Everyone here does that just fine.

If someone on your team doesn't take action, and you know you have done your job in pointing and supporting, please don't feel that somehow you haven't done enough or could be doing more. Success and the desire for it comes from within each person. 

Some who are here had no real sponsorship at all and yet they sought out what they needed. The leaders will always do that. Be there to celebrate and embrace the moment with them.

Follow Up Fortune in Direct Sales

Some people in Direct Sales are great at follow up and most are not. We come from an employee mindset. We clock in, clock out, and get paid without being involved in “sales” for the most part.

Most people don’t understand the buying cycle of selling, or the psychology of selling because we are afraid of the war SALES and we don’t like to think we are in sales. I’m not talking about the browbeating, bugging everyone type of sales, either.

When you know what to say and use good success language. you won’t be afraid. Learn more about mastering the art of good language in selling in my Street Smart Scripts program.

http://StreetSmartScripts.com  


Know what to say and how to say it and you won’t be afraid of following up, or inviting for the first time.

Ask them to join you after each business overview. Most people miss this key point.

We think that if they are interested in our business, they will raise their hand

Exclusive Club - invite them into your exclusive Direct Sales team club.

“So, are you ready to get started?” “Are you ready to get started making money now?” “Will you join me in this business? I would love to work with you.”

Yes, no or maybe will be the answer.

If they say yes, sign them up on the spot.

If they say no, ask for feedback. “Tell me what it is that makes you say no? I would love to know and don’t worry, I’m not going to try and convince you. It just helps me be better.”

Honor that and then don’t try to talk them into it.

Most will be a maybe. Ask them - what information can I provide to take you to a yes.

You just be positive and have a positive outlook all throughout the business. Even with the nos. Doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with you, your company, product or Network Marketing.

You must be patient. And, follow up. People do change their minds.

I’m a perfect example. If you know my story!  LINK!!!!!

I was not interested and never thought in a million years I would be doing network marketing.

How do we create Follow Up Fortune in Direct Sales and be effective?

Always book a meeting from a meeting. “When is a good time for me to check back with you?”

Often, your prospect will tell you that they will call you after they have reviewed the information. That’s fine, but it will serve you well to then make the following statement -

“That’s great Sue, and if I don’t hear from you by XYZ date, I’ll call you that day at 2:00pm. Sound good?”

This sets you up for success and they know you are a professional.

How do you handle the dos in Direct Sales? This is where most people drop the ball. We feel rejected and feel like there is something wrong and we are then afraid to ever check back.

I use the 3-6 month rule for follow up.

I send a thank you card, a physical carder everyone who looks at my business.

If you need a system, go to CardsMakeCash.com to learn more about the system I use.

Set yourself apart as a professional by sending a card, and get them into your database. Use this database to keep in touch and follow up. Every 3 - 6 months, keep in touch.

Keep in touch on birthdays, anniversaries and other odd holidays when they wouldn’t typically hear from someone.

Also, keep them informed on any changes and positive happenings within the company. Use the third party approach.

Remember to stay positive, stay patient, and persistent.

Sales Stats

48% never follow up with a prospect.
25% follow up just one time
12% follow up 3 times.
Only 10% make more than 3 contacts
2% of sales occur on the first contact
3% of sales occur on the second contact
80% of sales are made on the 5th to 12th contact or follow up.

Think about what that means in your business! What if you started using that 3-6 month rule with your prospects.

Learn success language and develop your mindset for success.

Timing is absolutely everything and it is your prospect’s timing, not yours.

Use a contact manager, and a system to stay automated and organized in your follow up. Now you know about Follow Up Fortune in Direct Sales! Keep in touch 3-6 times a year and catch them when they are ready!

Listening for Direct Sales Success

Listening truly is the greatest skill you can develop. It will help you in every relationship you have - spouse, children, parents, sibling, all family, friends and business associates. Seriously - everyone!

Michael Smith says - I know you understand what you think I said. But I’m not sure you realize that what you HEARD is not what I meant.

Network Marketing is about developing leadership skills, and it’s about developing others as leaders, too. The core skill is to develop and master the art of listening.

Do other’s GET what you are saying? Do they feel heard?

The big problem is that most of us listen with our own agenda, especially in prospecting situations. Instead of asking a valid questions and then listening authentically for the answer, we are on ready=set-go to respond with a pre-canned response, because we think we know not only what they are going to say, but what they mean.

We know what we are going to say, and we are happy with it. So, it;s not really SPEAKING that is the most significant part of communication. Instead it is the LISTENING.

Because when someone feels HEARD, you become the most interesting person in the world, and you now have an amazing opportunity to get your message across and have an interested person.

Now, this is not about tricking or coercing someone, it’s about lowering the resistance and encouraging the ongoing conversation.

Network Marketing is about relationships and that is about conversations. Conversations are about two or more people speaking and listening, authentically,

Become aware of how YOU listen. This will make you a better communicator. And, you might be surprised at your own listening skills, or lack of them.

We often listen in a way that sets us up to think about what the other person is thinking.

What do they think about me?

My involvement in Network Marketing?

How can I Impress them?

What are they wanting to hear?

How many times have you been in a conversation and those thoughts creep in?

How many times have you been looking for the perfect script, and seeking it from your upline and those who you encounter?

Have you ever heard no and taken it personally? What’s wrong with me or my opportunity?

Do you listen and want validation?

Do you desperately seek a family member or good friend to host a party, or refer others? And then when they don’t we get offended?

Have you ever thought that you know better then your prospect what is good or right for him/her?

This can greatly derail you, if you feel this way, because you place all power outside of yourself.

We make judgements about right, wrong, good, bad and so on.

How many times, in a conversation, have you defaulted to those thoughts?

Do you obsess over what people think of you? Their opinion of your choice to create a career with Network Marketing? 

Be willing to let people off the hook who you know are not ready at this time.

Do you have FOMO - a fear of missing out? Change that to JOMO - Joy of Missing Out.

Be willing to commit to doing the right thing, creating a true win-win, and saying - I want the very best for YOU. Not me, but you!

Never lose a friendship over business. It’s not worth it.

Decide to become a powerful listener.

Be willing to “walk a mile in their shoes.”

We all come from unique situations and as much as we think we know; we don’t know!

A no has nothing to do with you.

Listen for cues - what’s going in their world, their life, and what makes this not the right time?

Have faith - you will sponsor some of these on down the road.

At the same time, listen for possibilities and cues. You just never know! People will come back to you. Leave that door open and never burn a bridge.

What you listen for shapes your reality and when you listen in a way that honors your prospect, that will reward you on down the road. When the time is back.

Focus on becoming a great listener and watch how your business grows!

You’re Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 277.  We like to say that success in Direct Sales can easily be achieved in 4 years when you have a strong why; an action plan; and you take action on that plan daily. How would you like to know The Four Year Plan For Success in Direct Sales? 

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 StreetSmartWealth.com/coach 

And, 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. 

It's important to know that success in direct sales is not about get rich quick. If someone has told you to expect this, then run far and run fast. 

Steady, stable and growing networks that generate residual income for decades are very rarely get rich quick. You must build for longevity if you want it to last and create the income and lifestyle you desire. 

The hardest part is to stick and stay til you get your pay. 

Here is what you want to make sure you have in place to fulfill your 4 year plan. 

First, set a realistic expectation of how fast it's going to happen; how fast you are going to act; and what it's going to take. 

If you want to develop a 6 figure income, you must first develop a 6 figure mindset and as important, a 6 figure work ethic. 

Next, write out your action plan. This is so simple in Network Marketing. The problem is that most people think about what needs to be done; they study the concepts behind what needs to be done; but they don't actually ever take the action because of fear and doubt. 

So, let's suspend fear for now and visualize yourself already having the success you desire. 

Look at that action plan you've written out and ask - what would I take action on today, right now, if I did not have fear? 

Now just take that action. Let go of that fear. Do the thing that scares you and see that you actually do survive it! 

Know the fundamental skills you need to develop and work on that every day. 

I'm often asked - how many people should I talk to each day? The answer is- the number you need to in order to feel like a success and begin to see success show up. Feeling successful comes before being successful. 

Learn how to make a viable list; what to say to contact that list; how to invite; present; follow up and ask them to join you. Know the steps to take to get them trained and launched. 

Rinse and repeat - do this over and over. As you do this, you will shape yourself into a leader. And, you'll further develop the leadership skills you need to take your business to the top. I LOVE and appreciate reviews!

You’re Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 275. In today's show we are going to go through 4 steps that you can use to plan to succeed in direct sales. 

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.

Many people start a business in Direct Sales.It's not that difficult and people do it every day. What very few do though is actually plan to succeed. 

Think about how little it takes to start- a decision and room on a credit card. It takes much more to make a success of that decision, however. 

So here are 4 simple steps that if followed can take you to the level you want in your Direct Sales business. 

These aren't rocket science. But most people don't follow these 4 steps. Have you? 

#1 - Get very clear about what it is you want from your direct sales business. Write it down, very clearly and in very specific detail. Do you want to quit your job? This means you want to create a full time, replacement income from your Direct Sales business. 

How much does that mean you need to make after expenses and taxes? What do you need to be netting? 

Think about this step. Have you taken it? Have you clearly written down what you really want from your Direct Sales business? 

#2 - Find an accountability partner. Then, share your written intention with this person and ask him/her to hold you accountable. It's like a gym buddy. You are much more likely to see the job through when you have someone to answer to. Sadly, most of us can't or won't do it on our own. 

An accountability partner can become not only a good friend, but a strong companion in building your business. So, choose this person wisely. 

#3 - Do something every day that shows that you are serious and committed to your goal; your reason why; your intention. It can be one thing, or it can be many things. Single Daily Actions that are income producing activities are the key to making things happen. 

Busy work such as conference calls, checking email, surfing on facebook are all forms of distraction and procrastination. 

#4 - Do something each day that stretches you a little. It could be contacting someone on your "chicken list" or hosting  a live call. These stretch are what will get your to your goal faster. 

You'll find that once you stretch yourself  and it doesn't kill you, you'll begin to stretch even more and find leaving your comfort zone it easy. 

So there you have 4 simple, yet often challenging steps you can take to Plan to Succeed in Direct Sales. 

My question for you is - are you ready? Will you do it? Will you Plan to Succeed in Direct Sales?

Your Direct Sales Focus Word for the Year

A focus word is something you want to choose carefully and based around what you are working toward in your direct sales business. Or, a word you want to move away from, to some extent.

My word for my Direct Sales business for 2016 was Mastery. And, I really struggled with this for the first half of the year, feeling like my goal of creating “Mastery” in the areas I was working on wasn’t happening.

I chose mastery because I wanted to really choose a book, a project or something that I am working toward and MASTER it. So, instead of reading a book a week, or a book a month, and then not ever REALLY putting the knowledge in the book into action, I wanted to pick 12 books, one a month, that I had already read, and like, and dig down deep into putting what I’ve learned into action and really creating mastery!

However, toward the end of the year, I realized why mastery was the word I had picked, and how I was taking control and MASTERING what I needed. More work to be done, for sure. But, I’m feeling pretty good.

My focus word for 2017 is FAITH!

It took my until New Year’s Eve to find the right word, when it just popped into my brain, as often happens.

Faith has been a big part of my 2016 and I see how it plays into my life. So, I’m stepping out on FAITH in all that I do this next year and allowing things to fall into place as they manifested for me in my life.

I have faith that my goals will happen, I have faith that my business will continue to thrive. I have faith that I will see the job through.

Share with me what your word is. Share it below, on Facebook or Tweet me!

How Committed Are You to Success in Network Marketing 

If I had a dime for everyone who has contacted me either for coaching or to explore working with me in my primary network marketing business, who told me how passionate, driven and ambitious they are, I would have twice the income!!! 

Sadly, most people who reach our never follow through on the basic step of learning more about what the program is; what they would be doing, or getting to the point of asking questions. 

Crazy, because for me, when I am serious about something, I MAKE the time to learn more. 

I make the time to watch the video, demo the system, read the details, visit the website, and so on. 

So here is how you can determine How Committed Are You to Success in Network Marketing - 

Decide on your why Set your schedule Know what you might have to give up Be willing to GIVE that up Commit Let go of excuses that hold you back

Building Relationships Online and Offline for Direct Sales 

You’ll notice in the first part of this podcast, I shared some details about what is going on in my life. 

Son 

Move Business 

Share your life and details about you, first, and people will open up and share more of themselves, too. 

Influence is what you are looking to accomplish. 

Influence is developed when you get involved in conversations, and do more than just like something. Make comments that are thought provoking. Let them see you out there, and they will be more open to listening when they see you as more than your business and always hawking your business. 

Most of my business conversations take place behind the scenes, through Facebook Messenger, and not in the public domain. 

Remember is it SOCIAL Media - sports, lifestyle, healthy, fitness, cooking, decorating, fashion - share a variety of things that get people engaged. 

Don’t be divisive through things like politics or religion. It just can ruin everything. 

Know how to meet people out and about, and then take it back online through Facebook. Or another Social Platform. 

Be a solutions provider. Develop your elevator pitch that paints a picture of what you do, so they can quickly see if it’s something for them now, or someone they know. 

Health and Wellness companies need to be really careful to develop a unique selling proposition. No product claims. Never state that it cures something. 

Meet people offline and take it back online!!! I’m repeating this because it is key!

Try it and see what happens!

Facebook Post Ideas for Direct Sales 

Do you need some posting tips on those things on Social Media that create engagement? Here are some ideas on what to do. 

First - DEVELOP a strategy.  

Most people won’t, but it will serve you very well if you will take just a little time to develop a plan. You can then tweak, test and use this plan over and over. 

View your plan from the perspective of your visitor. Not your excitement in what you are doing. 

People don’t come to Social Media to be sold, but they will buy when they see the right thing, in the right way. 

http://JackieUlmer.com/facebookprofits for my complete plan on sponsoring through Social Media 

There are three basic types of posts. 

Text 

Video 

Images/Photos 

Remember the 80/20 rule - 80% fun, social and non business. 20% business related, and not just all you sharing your products and opportunity. 

Have a business page and share details you post there on your profile. 

Ask questions to create engagement and be careful not to overwhelm them with having to answer with too much. Fill in the blank questions are good. Advice on something social. 

Don’t expect them to stop everything and take a lot of time to answer. 

Videos - How To, product demos an don’t make all of it about buying your product. You can show your products in the demo, and recommend they use something similar that they may already have. They will begin to want to buy from you, over time, when you aren’t always making the sale a focal point. 

Facebook Live 

Use real photos and not the same ones everyone else is using. 

Get customer to share photos using the products. And, don’t use filters or photoshop your photos. Especially before and after photos. 

Develop a holiday strategy, showcasing your products.

You’re Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 269. On today's show, we'll dive into a question by Kyle, who asks about the legalities of Cross Recruiting, or the attempt by someone to move you from one company or another. What are the Cross Recruiting Ethics in Direct Sales?

Cross Recruiting Ethics in Direct Sales 

On today's show, Kyle asks a great question and that is - is cross recruiting illegal in Direct Sales and Network Marketing? 

I'm not a legal expert, but no, it is not illegal. We are not employed by the direct sales company we represent, and so there aren't those types of legalities. 

From an ethics standpoint, what is good moral behavior when it comes to Network Marketing and trying to cross recruit or move someone from one company to another? 

First, use the concept of the golden rule - do unto others as you would have them do unto you. 

Makes perfect sense, right? You don't want people constantly going after your team; that downline you hav e worked so hard to build. 

So, what are the Cross Recruiting Ethics in Direct Sales? 

In Network Marketing, especially for those who are new, it's often easier to go after those who we already know are involved in our profession. It's not as simple as right or wrong. 

But when you look deeper, is this really the right way to go about building a team. If they jump to your company, what stops them from jumping to another soon after? 

And, while this may seem like the easy route to take, it's really not. 

There are reasons to change companies that are valid, and other times when it's just trading one set of problems for another. 

If you have real issues with your company, that seem unresolvable, and you just don't have the excitement or desire, or can't really stand behind a product line or company culture, then moving may be your best choice. 

Many of us have joined companies only to find out that it is just not a great fit for us, for some reason. 

IF it's just a challenge with actually buckling down and contacting people and sharing your network marketing business with them, then that is not going to instantly resolve itself with a new company. 

So, what are the Cross Recruiting Ethics in Direct Sales? Go with your gut, in all situations. And, be a stand person for our profession.

Facebook is Still Your Number One Social Media Platform for Direct Sales 

You’re Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 268. Some people will tell you that Facebook is dead for Direct Sales and Network Marketing. That everyone has moved on to Snapchat and Instagram. Is this true? It’s neither true or false, and here is why Facebook is Still Your Number One Social Media Platform for Direct Sales.

Facebook is Still Your Number One Social Media Platform for Direct Sales 

I’m deviating a little from the topic I have been so focused on lately which is mindset, and there is a reason. 

When I started this series, I mentioned BE, DO and HAVE as the key components to success in your Network Marketing business. We have covered much of the BE - who do you want to BE in network marketing? Who do you want to BE in life? Where is your business ultimately going to take you, beyond the STUFF and process of building? 

As we begin to move into HOW, things should be showing up for you. Go back and listen to the show archives, shows, 264-267 and I’ll have links in the shown notes. 

Get your mindset straight on who you want to BE and what we are becoming. As you do this, your mind is going to begin to give you downloads on what you will DO to create this. 

Pay attention to this. 

Facebook and Social Media will be a big part of this, most likely. And Facebook really expands your ability to attract and allow the right people into your business who are aligned with you, your mission and your goals. 

It’s universal law and principal and it must happen. 

I’ve shared my story of taking my business online before. The internet fell into place for me because I had become very aligned with my vision for my life and who I wanted to become. But, I was struggling with making it happen. 

I stayed committed though and things began showing up. 

I started learning the internet. Why? Because I was being guided to do this. 

Today, I am being guided to build my business through my Facebook business page, and Facebook Live, Youtube, my Blog and even some offline networking and in home events. 

And, I am paying attention.  

So, let’s focus on Facebook. 

It’s dominated by women, FYI, which of course is perfect for me and my business. Over 1 billion daily active users. Does that sound dead to you? 

EVERY single day, someone in your exact target audience, who may have been saying no yesterday is saying YES today. Why? Something changed in their life. Downsized, death in the family, illness, birth, relocation, frustration, whatever. It’s happened.  

When you stay consistent on Facebook, sharing your message and your vision, you will attract those right people to you! 

Get my guide to shortcut things - http://JackieUlmer.com/fbforbiz 

Here are some ways to use Facebook to attract your right prospects. 

First, create a Facebook business page. This is your “store” on Facebook and the first and easiest place to take people to learn more about you and what you do. Brand yourself and your company and create engaging content and videos. Create custom photo albums that you can easily guide a prospect to, online or offline, to learn more and share your products. And, the business. 

Create a Facebook group for customers and would be customers. Teach, entertain and educate. Notice I didn’t say sell. This is the best way to sell. People will buy when they are given a solid reason. Build trust through education and entertainment. 

Never EVER add someone to a group without their permission. Ask them first and if they say yes, add them. Or give them the link directly after you ask and they say yes. 

Videos are an awesome way to do this and the internet, and facebook love video. Especially live video. Tweet me or message me if you want to see how I am using this in my own business. 

Through your business page and groups you can host events, and events are a great way to expand your message even further. 

Did you know that events you host on a Facebook business page get picked up by Google? Think about powerful keywords when you do this and make it count! 

What about your personal profile or Timeline? Should you be sharing there? 

YES, but in a careful and well played way! 

Post selfies and photos of your family and friends using your products. Make the text that accompanies these fun and light hearted, and not a sales pitch. 

Give a call to action in the text area that takes them to a VIP group or your Facebook Business Page. 

Use the 80/20 rule, with only 20% of your content at the MOST about your business. 

Engage and reach out to those who comment and like, but do it privately. You can comment back or like when they comment, but don’t pitch them publicly.  

I cover how to do this in depth in my Facebook for Direct Sales guide. 

So, you may be asking, do you need all three? A personal profile, a business page and a group? 

YES, and they all serve their own purpose and give you ultimately many ways for multiple exposure.

Your Why and Excuses in Network Marketing 

We’ve talked a lot about Why, and Vision and mindset mastery on the last few shows. Be sure and go back and listen so you are up to speed. 

Today. I want to talk about the power in your why. How do you know when your why is strong enough? Strong enough to propel you forward to success in Network Marketing? 

You know because it gets you off the couch, turning off the TV, and Youtube and Facebook funny videos and anything else that distracts you. 

The WHY creates the HOW. Always, and every time. 

Stop saying “If it’s God’s will, it will happen.” 

If God put it in your path, it means it’s his will, but He doesn’t do it for you. 

He doesn’t open every door, just like he didn’t for Oprah Winfrey, or Michael Jordan, or any top leader in Network Marketing. 

There are and will be struggles and obstacles, challenges. It’s not easy but it is simple. 

It happens with Action, and not Luck! 

What’s your mission in Network Marketing? Have you identified it? 

Who will you serve? 

You get the chance to plant seeds that will grow into trees that provide shade to people you will never meet or know. 

So, pay attention to your excuses. Get clear on your why. Check in on whether it is enough to get you into action and to turn off the TV. 

I know when my why finally came into place, I became unstoppable. You can, too!

I look forward to getting into today’s topic but first, I am just back from my company convention where I had an awesome time! I loved connecting with my team, and as much as anything, connecting with the culture of the company and being reminded of the mission, and what matters to me.

 

There is a vibe that occurs at your company convention that is worth its weight in gold.

 

It’s a great place to get yourself tapped into the feel good vibration that you need to manifest what you want. so I highly encourage you NOT to miss your company convention.

 

Because of that, I manifested some great things during and following convention. More on that.

 

What we think about comes about. There really is no arguing that point, and it’s proven just by looking around.

 

It’s not just WHAT you think about, but HOW you think about it and feel about it.

 

FEELING is really the biggest key.

 

You can THINK about something, but if you have a pit in your stomach, or you feel negative about it, then that is exactly what will show up for you.

 

I have talked the last 2 weeks about writing down your goals on your index cards. Have you done this? And, if so, are you taking the time to read these index cards, and really focus on what it is you want?

 

It works and I want to share some ways that it has worked for me, just in the last few weeks, as I mentioned about my convention.

 

I recently started using my dream book again. It’s been tossed in my nightstand drawer and I have not been giving it the due diligence it deserves.

 

Do you have a dream book? Have you taken the time to create one? How are you going to make a goal or a dream come true if you have never taken the time to get it on paper?

 

Here is what happened recently after I got into my “Feel good” place and began to REALLY focus on what I want, and really focus on spending at least 30 minutes each day focused 100% there.

 

I cut out some pictures and words for my dream book, and wrote on my index card about traveling first class and staying in upgraded rooms.

 

I got upgraded to First Class on my flight and got an upgraded room with a view at convention.

 

I focused on attracting the right people into my business and moving things ahead. 3 people reactivated in my business upon return.

 

Sales are up, sponsoring is up and it’s still summer.

 

This is when you are really in the zone. Athletes talk about this. Olympic athletes learn to go inward to draw on the strength they need to get the job done.

 

Have you felt that? THAT is where you want to strive to be and to stay.

 

When you set aside the time to go inward; to get into the zone, to go into your own creative workshop, and you get into the feel good place, you are unstoppable.

 

Doubt and fear is gone, and you are fully present and good to go. The more you do this. the more you develop that muscle and your brain to get there more easily, and to stay there more easily.

 

Can you do this when you are faced with challenges? When you hear no, or encounter something that takes you away from that pursuit of goal, can you easily find your way back?

 

Find your happy place! Put a note up that says that - Find your happy place. Do what you need to in order to get and be there as much as possible.

 

Focus on and move toward your goal!

 

Develop a sense of delusion! Don’t look at the goal in the moment you are, look FROM that goal as if it has already occurred.

 

Everything ever created was done by looking back. By visualizing the end goal and then working it backwards to create it.

 

Think of your smart phone. Same thing.

 

Think of the Wright Brothers and developing the first airplane that flew. How many times did they see it before it took off?

 

Same with Thomas Edison and the light bulb.

 

 

Bob Proctor does an awesome series on the 11 forgotten laws, beyond just the law of attraction, which we most often hear about.

 

In the law of supply, he talks about the unlimited sources that are out there.

 

If one person in your company creates wealth and success, it does not take away from your ability to do the same.

 

We don’t want to feel ungrateful for what we have, and so looking toward something else sometimes creates a distraction and a sense of confusion.

 

So, think about it this way - dis satisfaction is a creative state. And. it does not have anything to do with being grateful or happy.

 

It’s just about longing for more, and wanting MORE encompasses a lot.

 

You want to plant your dreams and focus in the right ground.

 

Think of an acorn. Planted in soil, it thrives and grows into a mighty tree. Stuck in your pocket, it shrivels and dies and loses its ability to reach its potential.

 

Same with your goals. Plant them in a negative mind, they will never thrive. They will only rise to the level of the negativity.

 

Plant them in a vibrationally positive and receptive mind, and stand back, success is yours!

 

 

So, this week, get out those index cards. Get out that dream book. Share with me what you are feeling. Tweet it @jackieulmer or post it on Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/streetsmartwealth

If you listened to last week’s show, you know it’s been a over a week since I shipped my son off to Marine Corps Bootcamp, and we are now counting down the days until October 21. 

And, as I shared in the show, I am deep into mindset mastery for myself and my direct sales team, and thought you might want to come along for the ride. 

I thought it might be fun for you to play along so over the next 13 weeks, I'll be sharing information that I have learned and succeeded with from a variety of sources, including - 

The Science of Getting Rich – Wallace Wattles – Video here 

Think and Grow Rich – Napoleon Hill 

The Strangest Secret – Earl Nightingale – get the PDF and audio download free 

And others! 

You’ll find last week’s show at http://JackieUlmer.com/264 

and show notes for this week at http://JackieUlmer.com/265 

We are focusing on Be, DO and HAVE for overall success in your Network Marketing business and we are starting the first 30 days with BE. Who do you want to BE or become through your business. 

Remember this - to achieve it, you must first be able to SEE it. 

Last week, I started with the first sentence from the Science of Getting Rich, which is - 

Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich. 

And, we talked about how use of the word RICH can be off putting, but Rich is much more than money. It’s everything that makes up your life, so if you are just joining the show, be sure and go back and listen to last weeks. 

I know that the most important resource my son has in Marine Corps bootcamp is his mind, because that is what will push him through to the end. He has one goal, and one goal only right now, and that is to pass 13 weeks of bootcamp, and what is arguably the most strenuous physical challenge he will ever endure. 

If he can do that, you and I can certainly spend 13 weeks growing our own mindset for success in our business, and life! 

The first paragraph in Chapter two of the Science of Getting Rich says - THERE is a Science of getting rich, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic. There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches; once these laws are learned and obeyed by any man, he will get rich with mathematical certainty. 

The ownership of money and property comes as a result of doing things in a certain way; those who do things in this Certain Way, whether on purpose or accidentally, get rich; while those who do not do things in this Certain Way, no matter how hard they work or how able they are, remain poor. It is a natural law that like causes always produce like effects; and, therefore, any man or woman who learns to do things in this certain way will infallibly get rich. That the above statement is true is shown by the following facts: Getting rich is not a matter of environment, for, if it were, all the people in certain neighborhoods would become wealthy; the people of one city would all be rich, while those of other towns would all be poor; or the inhabitants of one state would roll in wealth, while those of an adjoining state would be in poverty. 

So, what is this certain way? Well, it sounds easy, just put the thought of what you want to achieve in your mind, think on it, and allow it to show up. 

But, as you will soon realize, or possibly already have, it’s more than just thinking. It’s more specifically FEELING! 

So last week, the assignment was to write down who/what you want to become through your business. 

Write it on an index card and begin to focus on it a few times, each day. 

I shared what is written on my card in last week’s show, and I get pretty bold, and it’s over at http://JackieUlmer.com/264 

Remember this - I THINK, therefore I AM.  

Any piece of the puzzle that can change your AM is bold and necessary for you to take your business to the level you want it at. 

So, if you did that exercise, weigh in on how you feel. Was it easy? Was there resistance? Did you find your mind automatically going to the HOW - as in HOW are you going to make this happen? 

This happens in Direct Sales. We set a goal and then we get busy on the action steps we must take to make it happen. Who is on our list? What are we going to say? How will we show the business? 

What will we do when they join? 

But, how much time have you spent on your belief? On your true mindset around whether or not YOU can be successful? 

How much time do you spend each day thinking about your business? Think of a time amount? 

How much of that time is spent with a bit of disbelief about whether or not you can make it happen or a huge focus on HOW you are going to make it happen? 

Instead of focusing on HOW - how do you do this in network marketing, how to you say this? How do you attract leads, and so on, we are going to focus first on BE. 

My whole business changed when I learned to enjoy the journey, and at one point I thought that was the most ridiculous thing ever. How could I enjoy myself when I was no where near where I want to be. 

But, once I relaxed and started paying attention to my thoughts, my self talk and then my actions, it made all of the difference in the world. 

I learned that when I took time each day to pray, meditate and do some vision work on who I wanted to become and what I wanted my life to look like, the HOW began to show up. 

As I shared last week, the internet dropped into my lap once I relaxed and it changed my whole business and life. 

http://StreetSmartWealth.com/coach 

My Direct Sales Online Coach tells EXACTLY how I did and how you can do it, 

But most people will never do it. 

So, for this week, continue with your practice on your index card. Expand it a little. Write out your whole vision for your life, including everything from business to relationships to where you live, the car you drive, trips you take and so on. 

Quick question - will you do this? Will you REALLY do this? 

I hope you will. 

Once you do, recite it to yourself, out loud and pay attention to the feelings that come up. IF you feel resistance, of any kind, note where. Heart, head, middle of stomach. 

Ask yourself why and listen. 

Then, close your eyes, and think of a REALLY happy time in your life. See it, feel it, envision it. 

Then, while feeling that awesome feeling, focus back on this new vision you have for your life. Recite the vision, Feel it. See it in your mind. 

Work on letting go of the resistance you feel, and replacing it with belief. 

Sounds easy, but I promise you, it’s the toughest work you will ever do. 

But, it is without any doubt in my mind whatsoever, the most important work you can do in your business. 

Look around you. Everything you see started in the mind of a true believer. Everything. Someone thought it first, believed it and then allowed his/her mind to deliver the download on how to make it happen. 

In the Science of Getting Rich, Wallace Wattles states - Your #1 goal is to become rich. A person's right to life means his right to have the free and unrestricted use of all the things which may be necessary to his fullest mental, spiritual and physical unfoldment; or in other words, his right to be rich. 

Let go of limiting beliefs, and the baggage from the past. They don't serve you. 

Focus on who you want to be. Write it down. Read it, Feel it and allow it to trigger the how. 

I'm so happy and grateful now that I AM.....

You’re Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 264 and on today’s show, I'm going to talk about "What are you thinking in Direct Sales and how your mindset controls your success.

Want to also learn how to generate your own leads online? My Inner Circle Coaching Program may be just what you need.

It's been a crazy time around here as I shipped my son off to the United States Marine Corps Bootcamp training. He's a new recruit, and I've been through a whirlwind of emotions over it. 

I'm proud, I'm anxious, and lots of different things. 

So, I decided to do my own bootcamp for myself and my team, and we are going to focus on Mindset, and the mastery of that. 

I thought it might be fun for you to play along so over the next 13 weeks, I'll be sharing information that I have learned and succeeded with from a variety of sources, including - 

The Science of Getting Rich - Wallace Wattles Think and Grow Rich - Napolean Hill The Strangest Secret - Earl Nightingale 

And others! 

The first sentence is - 

Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich. 

Now, the use of the word RICH puts some people off. 

I like to use the word wealth, and I also belief that wealth, or richness makes you MORE of who you already are! 

Instead of focusing on HOW - how do you do this in network marketing, how to you say this? HOw do you attract leads, and so on, we are going to focus first on BE. 

Who do you want to BEcome through your business. 

Step number one is to write out who you want to become. 

Here is my written statement around this, that I shared with my team. 

I'm going to get BOLD, but stay with me!  

And I'm going to use I Am, and state it in the positive, and present tense. 

I am a wealthy woman, and an inspirer of wealth. 

And by wealth, I mean much more than money.  

First, I am wealthy in my spirituality, because it is my belief that this opens the gateway to all other wealth. So I practice this daily. 

I am wealthy in relationships, and strive to be generous in every sense of the word with those I connect with. 

I am wealthy with education and knowledge and love learning, growing and then sharing that with those who also want that knowledge.  

I am wealthy in health and my physical body. I am mindful of practicing healthy living.  

I am wealthy in my business dealings, attracting the exact right people to my business, so that we grow and prosper together.  

I am wealthy in my ability to give to those people, causes and missions that speak to me and benefit from my wealth in other areas.  

I am wealthy in my recreation time, and have plenty of time and resources to enjoy all the fun and joy that life offers.  

I am wealthy in my possessions, having enough to live comfortably and enjoy life. I'm not a "stuff" kind of person, but I like a nice house, and furnishings, and a creature comfort car! An occasional nice piece of jewelry is good, but I'm not a big jewelry gal. 

I am wealthy in my enjoyment of being pampered - massage, spa, mani-pedis and personal care (I do love that stuff.)  

I am extremely wealthy in my ability to travel, as that is my biggest hot button. I have often said I would live in a tent if I had to so I could travel. And, I'll be honest, I like to travel well and enjoy first class and great food! 

I am wealthy in my ability to do random acts of kindness, paying it forward for people from coffee and meals, to helping out with a car or house payment when needed and I love doing this anonymously.  

Finally, I am wealthy in my bank account, which helps allow me to be wealthy in many of these other areas. 

The best part is that by focusing on other types of wealth, the financial side always takes care of itself.  

I recite this to myself each day, morning and night! 

In the Science of Getting Rich, Wallace Wattles states - Your #1 goal is to become rich. A person's right to life means his right to have the free and unrestricted use of all the things which may be necessary to his fullest mental, spiritual and physical unfoldment; or in other words, his right to be rich. 

Let go of limiting beliefs, and the baggage from the past. They don't serve you. 

Spend 30 minutes focused on a goal - ONE goal. Write it down on a 3 x 5 index card. Read it. Feel it., savor it. Experience it. 

Bring up the emotion of joy when you think of it. See yourself already having accomplished the goal and not stuck on looking up the mountain and wondering how you are going to get there. 

The HOW will show up. It did for me. 

And, for me, it was the internet. It was the download that God delivered to me when I let my creative mind go to work on BEING who and HAVING what I wanted and felt worthy of. 

I went to an internet seminar in October of 1999, even though I didn't want to and it changed my life. 

I launched the website, created the lead capture, and started writing articles and creating content. 

And the leads and team partners came to me. They showed up. 

I layout exactly how to do it -

Great Customer Service and Being Remarkable in Direct Sales 

Have you paid attention to what is going on in the World of Network Marketing with companies such as Vemma and Herbalife? 

Nothing against those companies, but the FTC has been scrutinizing companies more closely, and specifically the number of customers vs business builders - those who are part of the compensation plan. 

So, you want to pay attention and make sure you have a solid number of regular retail customers, as well as those who are specifically building the business. 

A great way to develop that customer base is with your Hot Market - those closest to you who will try the product, and become a regular user, and share a testimonial. 

And, if they don’t like it, you assure them you won’t bug them again. 

You can either have them buy and try, or give a sample, but often, samples are not enough to really provide a good showing of how it works, or its effectiveness. 

Then, set up a solid customer care program. 

Send a thank you card - yes, a hand written card. Send birthday cards, and Thanksgiving cards. 

Don’t bog your well intended message with something promotional about your business. Send a follow up postcard later, for instance, to offer a discount in their birthday month. 

Have a new product release? Your customer base is the best place to start to share these new products with a sample. Always best to start with those who already love your products. 

If your company offers samples, that’s great, and if they don’t get creative in making your own. Go to craft stores to get zip lock bags and screw top sample containers.  

When you provide great customer value and service, you won’t find it hard to get referrals and repeat orders!

Facebook Ads, Facebook Live and Your Facebook Business Page 

Listen in as a recap from a previous Periscope Live where I get into discussing how to create an ad or boosting a video that you have created by going Live on Facebook. 

Now, here is what I have learned since I recorded. Boosting a post can be a great way to more exposure and a fast way to create engagement. 

There are different types of ads on Facebook, and you want to spend some time studying and getting to know what they are, what their intended results are, and how it all works. 

For about $1 a day, you can create some fast exposure for your business if you are willing to be consistent. 

You want to spend some time educating yourself on Facebook Ads. Buy a course, or a book and at very least check out some current YouTube videos on the process. 

Create an ad, set a budget to test with and monitor it over the first 24-48 hours to see how it is performing. 

Have a call to action - CTA. 

Begin to find your own algorithm and see what is going to work for you. 

The key, like anything, is to stay consistent so you can track and see the growth. 

Those who get to the top get there because they stay consistent. It’s most often nothing else. 

Your skill set will develop if you are willing to put the time and work into it. 

Facebook has a plan to rule the world. 

And you have the chance to capitalize on first mover advantage by getting your name and your brand out there early in the game.

Four Skills to Create a SLAM Dunk in Your Direct Sales Business 

Success in Network Marketing involves simple skills that can be learned. 

I call it a Slam Dunk in your network marketing business. And that stand for Scheduling, Language, Attitude and Marketing. 

S - Scheduling. What’s on the calendar gets done. It just does. IF you want to know how you are doing in your business, a good place to start to see what actions you’ve been taking are to look at your calendar. 

We come in with an employee mindset and so taking charge of our calendar can be a challenge. 

What’s slotted in there on your calendar? How many new contacts did you make? Appointments did you complete? Follow ups? 

L - Language - what you say DOES make a difference. Use good success language. Don’t be salesy. Know your words and language for every step of the way. Never leave it to chance. And, practice drill and rehearse, too. Record yourself and then throw it away. But do this over and over so you can listen to how it sounds, and how it comes across. This will teach you so much! 

A - Attitude. We can only control a few things in our business and one of the most important is our attitude. We don’t control who takes the time to view our business, try our products, join our team or actually work the business. But, we can control our action steps and the attitude we have around the whole process. 

Visual Reminders, Morning Routine, Affirmations - these are all key pieces to keeping our attitude in check. Have you heard my story about my daughter’s hair holder and how I used it to snap my wrist and snap me into positivity? IT works. Listen and hear! 

What are those things that will give you the positive reinforcement that you need? Put them into place. Find what fits for you. Maybe it’s sticky notes. 

M - Marketing. When people say they have no one to talk to, it’s because they don’t know marketing. 

We have offline and online methods of team building. Offline, people are everywhere and as long as you know how to build rapport, and then what to say, you’ll be great. 

Active and Passive is what we do online. 

Passive marketing is like this - the podcast, blog posts, periscope, Facebook live and so on. 

Active marketing is that direct contact we make with others. 

People are everywhere, online and offline. 

THAT is the Slam Dunk in your business. Incorporate it each day and watch your business grow. 

And, if you stuck around through the whole recording, you got a taste of Facebook Ads and your business page! More to come on that topic soon!

Three People Who Can Make or Break Your Direct Sales Business 

IT’s so tempting when we get started in Direct Sales to lump people into one of three categories. 

Everybody - that’s when we say things like - I have talked to EVERYBODY about my Direct Sales Business. 

Or, we say - EVERYBODY will be interested in these products or this business. 

That is often followed up by - Nobody. 

NOBODY is interested in what I am doing. Nobody will host a party for my direct sales business. Nobody will look at my network marketing opportunity. 

These are dangerous because we delude ourselves into believing it’s true. And, it’s quite simply NOT true. 

The final one, and the one that really matter is Somebody. 

SOMEBODY is looking for what you offer. You just need to get out there and offer your Direct Sales products and opportunity to more people. That’s how you find the Somebody’s who are right for what you offer. 

When you find yourself in conversation about one of the Three People Who Can Make or Break Your Direct Sales Business, make sure you are focused on the right one of those 3 people!

Social Media as an Infomercial in Your Direct Sales Business 

Have you ever watched or maybe even purchased from an informercial? Ever notice how it is like a story line? 

And, even though they are selling something, it doesn’t seem so salesy because of the way it is scripted. 

It’s really a brilliant form of marketing because it shares a story, with real people and testimonials and you never really feel like you are being sold, but there is a sale pitch and a sense of urgency. 

They show the benefits and provide value throughout the show, and you begin to think you can’t live without it, and the benefits it offers you. 

Value, value, value. 

They show how to use the product, the benefits, and offer testimonials. And, it’s not just the company standing there saying how great it is. 

Think about this in your Direct Sales business. When you just go on and on about it, you sound like a sales job, because people realize you are profiting from sales. 

When most networkers use graphics from their company site to showcase their products, they just look like another ad. 

But, when you get yourself involved in the process, and have your face attached to it, it brings the message closer to home. 

What products have you used and have a testimonial around? 

Create some video and photo testimonials. 

And, maybe sample out some products and ask for a testimonial. 

Or, contact some current customers. 

We are solutions providers, no matter what you are selling. People are not looking for your product, service or even the opportunity. The are looking for a solution! 

How does what you offer through your network marketing company benefit the end user?

Changing Lives Through Your Direct Sales Company 

If you find yourself feeling fearful of offering your products or opportunity with others, maybe for fear of what they may think, or say, I want to share a story that I hope will inspire you to not hold back. Not hesitate but rather offer your gift to everyone you come across. 

As you’ll hear in the audio, my team partner Vickie had a booth over the Memorial weekend here in the US, selling products and generating leads for home parties and potential team partners. 

One woman completed the form; Vickie followed up, and they set up a meeting. 

Now, Vickie is fairly new, and has not shown the opportunity much. So, she used a short video to explain the business and then got me on a 3 way call. 

As I was building rapport, and learning more about this prospect and why she may be interested in teaming up with us, she shared her heart wrenching story. 

She lost her 13 month old daughter just 6 weeks before, and now, nothing means more to her than finding a way to get out of her 40 hour a week job, so she can be home with her 4 year old son. 

Listen in for the details and begin to Imagine changing lives through your Direct Sales Company and what a difference that might make.

How to Deal With Unsupportive People in Your Business 

I’m extremely grateful that I have not had a lot of experience with those close to me being unsupportive. But, certainly, not everyone has joined me or become a customer. And that is okay, that is NOT a lack of support. 

Here are some things to remember - 

It has nothing to do with you. Their lack of support about your direct sales business is a reflection of some fear within them. 

Like seeks like, and now you are making a move, and people fear change. They have known you in a particular role, and now you are shifting to something else. 

They can default to fear, not knowing what to do with it, so they can often become critical. 

Start with good, open communication. 

We can come across as hype, chasing people down to share what we are doing with inflated language and things that don’t sound like “you!” 

I’m big on Success Language - http://StreetSmartScripts.com 

People will be much more receptive when we share in a way that sounds normal, creates interest and let’s them off of the hook. 

Listen to the audio to hear some examples of what to say. 

Now, you must detach from the outcome and get your emotions out of it. 

Communicate to them that their support can come in the forms of being Verbally and emotionally supportive, and in the vibe they put out. 

You want to lower resistance by letting them off of the hook. You are NOT trying to “get them!” 

Ask them to try the product, if they are open to it and let them know that if they love it, great, stay as a customer, and if not, great, you will not ask them again. 

Ask for product testimonials. Ask them to be open and honest with you. 

Practice what you are going to say in front of the mirror so you get better and sound believable and not like everyone else! 

People are resistant to change, and people have fears and perceived inadequacies.  

They hear of others, like Mark Zuckerberg and 13 year olds who launch apps and make millions over night. 

My favorite response to those who badger me, pole fun of me or want to belittle me - 

I understand that you think you have an opinion about what I am doing, but until you’ve taken a look at my presentation and tried my products, you can’t really have a conversation with me, but I would love the chance to chat about it and hear your education opinion…. 

This is not to overcome everyone’s objections or negativity. It;s more to empower you; create some respect and silence the naysayers. 

It’s important that we feel good, we feel confident and we know what to say!

Goals Are Your Roadmap to Direct Sales Success

“People with Goals succeed because they know where they are going.” Earl Nightingale

If you were building a house, you would start with FOUNDATION, right? The same should be true for your Network Marketing business.

We dream of the lifestyle we want to achieve through our network marketing business. And, those dreams are great, when they are combined with goals, intentions and the action steps to get you there.

Here are some thoughts on setting goals, intentions and taking action:

- Do your goals truly motivate you? This is super important in the process. It’s one thing to say - I want to quit my job - and another to state specifically what your life will look and feel like when you are no longer slave to a job.

- Are your goals specific and measurable? Make your goals well defined with dates, timelines and intentional action steps so you can track yourself every step of the way.

- Set deadlines. Now, don’t let this scare you. It’s OKAY if you don’t hit every goal on time. But, if you have no timelines set, the chances you’ll miss every goal are strong. Get bold and set some dates and discipline yourself to just do it!

- Write out your intentions and your action plan. What things need to happen for you to reach this goal? Goals can seem large and unattainable until we break them down into bite sized pieces.

- Write everything down about your goals, intentions and your vision. This is such a powerful process. Create a dream board or a dream book. Put up sticky notes and trigger reminders so that your goal is always right out in front of you.

- Time to get into action. Dreaming, hoping and wishing won’t take you there. Nor will just writing it all down. NOW is the time to start taking those daily and weekly intentional action steps toward that goal. You know what needs to be done. Do it!

- Never quit. Especially on a bad day or when you have a disappointment. This is just part of the growth process. Challenges will come. Obstacles will show up. They do for everyone. Be the one who perseveres and sees the job through!

You’re Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 254 and on today’s show, I'll be sharing some ideas with you on how to stay motivated in Direct Sales. It can be a challenge at times so let’s talk about staying self motivated and fired up!

How to Stay Motivated in Direct Sales 

Life is not what happened in the past - that is history. Life is what is happening right now. 

What do you want that life of yours to look like? Do you know? Have you thought about it? I mean REALLY thought about it? 

Here's something I have learned in my life and I really want you to remember - it's okay to mess up and make mistakes. You can always start over again. Every day, you can begin again. 

Winners are the ones who pick themselves up, brush off and keep on running for that goal. 

People have asked me, just like I asked many people in the beginning - What is your secret? What can you share with me that will get me to the same success level as you? 

Really, it’s simple. There are a few business rules that I live and die by. It is my belief that if you will follow these business rules, you can not help but be a success. 

Commit to self development and learning. Always be reading some type of book on self development and improving yourself. 

Refuse to get discouraged and especially do not let others discourage you. If you must take a 15 minute pity party, fine, but then pick yourself back up and put on a smile. 

Meet, greet and delete your fears. Take it out, talk to it, laugh and brush it off. Find that "feel good" feeling. 

Be coachable - great ideas are out there everywhere. Be willing to ask, listen and learn 

Attend company functions so you can know the heart and soul of the business, management and the leaders. This will help you develop more quickly.

Have a filter question to keep you on track. 

That is it. Everything else can be done in different ways. You might build through parties, running ads, fundraisers, online, or whatever. You don't have to build in the same way as your upline and sponsor. Find your way and commit to it 100%. 

Here are some action steps you can take - 

Decide to become a student - here is a news flash. You don't know everything there is about building a successful business in Direct Sales and Network Marketing. I don't either. That's a relief to me because I know that every day is a day that I can learn and experience more through the successes of others. I don't know where you come from in your past. And, it really doesn't matter. We are all here to support and cheer each other on the great success. Uncross your arms, unplug your ears and become a student to everyone who offers wisdom about this business. You may pick your favorites. 

Know what determines your happiness and your success - Is it the weather? A new car? Other people? What people think of you? What has happened to you in the past? Your current relationship? 

NO! YOU determine whether or not you are going to choose happiness. That's right, here's another newsflash - happiness is a CHOICE! Don't make excuses for why your business is not growing that reflect on anyone but you. Start today to choose happiness, start your day reading 10 minutes from a positive, uplifting book, and then do SOMETHING in your business. I always feel happier when I have accomplished something in my business besides reading email. 

Just like happiness is a choice, so is success. And, it all starts with your belief about your outcome. The more time you spend reading and growing your self through positive, self development books, the higher your belief will be. When you catch yourself thinking in a downbeat way - STOP! Force yourself to CHOOSE to think about other, happier things. 

Know your outcome - What is it EXACTLY that you are trying to accomplish? What are your goals? Your dreams? Your intentions? Okay, great, now what steps will that require from you to make it happen.  

Here's a clue - the people who reach the top are the ones who focus on exactly what they DO want and not what they DO NOT want. Which are you?  

Focus on taking action steps and getting a tiny bit better everyday. Get better and better and know that you are often bad before you are good, and good before you are GREAT! Step by step, tell yourself - Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better. 

Some people earn $25,000 a year for doing a certain thing. Still, there are others earning $250,000 a year. Are they any better? Smarter? Better looking? I'm guessing the difference is in what the top income earner EXPECTS and BELIEVES he or she should be paid. 

Quit dabbling. Pretend like it is now or never. Stop saying - Maybe I'll do it in 6 Months. Start saying - I'm going to do it TODAY. And then DO IT! Have a sense of urgency about your business and your success. As Yoda said in Star Wars - "Luke, there is only do, or do not - there is no try." 

Also, please do not compare yourself to anyone else. This is not a competition and I promise you, in everything you do, there will be people - better looking, more fit, tanner, smarter, taller, shorter, better educated, and on and on. There will also be people who are less of all of those things. SO WHAT! You are a gift and a classic and there is only one of you. If you MUST compete, compete with yourself week after week, day after day. 

Be prepared to change - Along with success comes change, of some degree. Be prepared for this and do NOT fear it. Think of all of the things that have changed since you have been alive.  

Make a commitment to yourself to do one thing which seems beyond your present ability or comfort level. Make a public commitment so that it is out there and you'll be more inclined to see it through.  

Adopt the 5 simple steps for Success - Get into Network Marketing. There will be a day when it gets into you and these are not always (and rarely are) on the same day. When Network Marketing gets into you, you will be the success that you can and deserve to be. 

Use the products - KNOW your product inside and out. 

Recruit People - this is not difficult. You only need 5 or ten active distributors to begin reaching long lasting residual income.  

Attend all company meetings and functions - this is a very serious statement. You must associate with like minded people who share your same goals and enthusiasm. Get yourself around people willing to teach you what they have done and how they have done it.  

Have fun - this is mandatory. Who wants to join a stuffy, boring business? Not me! I want to be where the fun people are and with the fun people making money. Make your business fun and not stressful. Don't make it seem like work but make it something you LOVE! 

Find out what your purpose is in this business. Find out what your purpose is as a leader.  

For me, personally, I love sharing the message of creating your own experience and abundance in this lifetime.  

Focus only on success results. Learn from any perceived non successful ventures. 

Pay attention to where you are focusing. Pay attention to the thoughts you think and the words you speak. 

Pay attention to what follows - I AM - 

I Am tired, I AM Mad, I am not as good as others, I am not capable of making this work. 

Yuck, what a downer. Does this sound better - 

I may have had a slow start, but I am capable of doing this and going it in a great way. 

I may be tired, but I am going to make 2 more phone calls. 

I may have gotten mad, but I am going to say I am sorry and lift that person up. 

I am as good as anyone else and worthy of the success I want. 

Copy things that work for others. Your business will grow much faster when others can see and feel all of the fun you are having. 

And, you'll always work harder when you are having fun. 

Develop, understand and maintain an attitude that propels you forward into growing an organization that you can manage and lead.  

Find those things that you do best and concentrate there. 

Quit needing approval from those people in your life who will not give it to you. In your home, just set a goal to prove them wrong. 

In your company - don't worry about their approval. Grow your check and approve of yourself! 

Do not settle for less than you can be. 

Here are some things you need to have - 

Have personal written goals and review them EVERY day 

Set a personal example in what you say, how you say it, where you say it, etc. 

Concentrate on the opportunity  

Be positive and do not allow any negative to slow you down or influence your thinking 

Teach others what you know 

Spend a minimum of 50 hours a month building yourself a future and a lifestyle 

Make at least a one year commitment, with action steps in place 

Commit to CANI 

Persist until you succeed. You can't succeed if you quit 

Get committed, stay committed and go for it!

Direct Sales Myths and How to Avoid Them 

Myth 1 in Direct Sales - Network Marketing is easy - it’s simple, but it is NOT easy. Yes, it’s easy to join and sign up, pull out that credit card. But not so easy to work, as we get our mental junk in the way! Telling people it is easy is a sure way to get them to quit at the first challenge. 

Myth 2 in Direct Sales - Anyone can do it. Yes, anyone can join, but it takes a special type of person to have the tenacity to see the job through. And, success stories in hundreds of companies over decades has proven that it’s not your background, education, where you are from, etc, that determines your success. 

Myth 3 in Direct Sales - You only need 2 or 3 people. Now, it is true that it is usually only 2 or 3 people who account for 80% of your income, but it may take 10, 20, 50, 100 or several 100 to find those 2 to 3. We don’t know when they will come in, but if you stick with it, the leaders will show up. 

Myth 4 in Direct Sales - Just talk to your family and friends. This is a great starting point, and is important, but we must expand from there. That’s why we make a list of 100-200 to BEGIN WITH! 

Myth 5 in Direct Sales - You can make bug money quickly. Well, it CAN happen but seldom does, so why frustrate people from the start. When you buy a McDonald’s franchise, and drop $1 million, they tell you that you will not be making a profit for 2-5 years. So, why do we want to make it seem so easy in Network Marketing. 

Myth 6 in Direct Sales - Everyone will want or need this product. Not always. People buy what they want, not always what they need. And while you may want and need it, not everyone will. Offer it to everyone, and then detach from the outcome of who wants it and who does not. 

Myth 7 in Direct Sales - We don’t sell. Right, we share. I know, I know. There is no shame kin selling so don’t think that there is. Learn how to create win-win situations so that people are naturally sold. Don’t be the hard core strong pressure sales person. 

Myth 8 in Direct Sales - We have the best (fill in the blank!) - It may be the best for you, but never put words in someone else’s mouth. Let them tell you it’s the best for them. That’s the best testimonial and “sales job” you can possibly do. Ford drivers won’t convince Mercedes drivers that a Ford is best. And, vice versa.  

Myth 9 in Direct Sales - Our products are more expensive because they are higher quality. Are they? Really? Do you know that? Have you had the products lab tested? This can be touchy so it’s important that we steer clear of saying things that we can not really back up with evidence. 

Myth 10 in Direct Sales - There is little to no risk. Why even mention this? There is not, from a financial standpoint, but some people tie in an emotional risk to any business where they have to talk to others. So, understand this so you can work to move people past it. 

Myths abound. Know them, understand them and just stay true, authentic and a good ally to your friends and prospects. They will appreciate you for that.

7 Keys to a Successful Team Partner Direct Sales Launch Success Key 1 - Direct Sales Warm market list. You can’t build an entire network marketing business with just friends and family, but you can get things launched, create some success and get a handle on what you are doing. Remember, if your business and products are good enough for you, and your new team partner, then they are good enough for both of your friends and family to at least make a decision about for his/herself. 

Success Key 2 - Set your new team partner up with an attitude go positivity. Expect Success, as I always say. Reassure them that they have made an awesome decision in getting started and you are going to work it together. 

Success Key 3 - Teach each person how to make a professional invitation for their list to take a look at what they are doing. When they know what to say, and how to say it, they will feel more comfortable and confident that they know what they are doing and CAN do this. 

Success Key 4 - Prepare your new team partner for the ups and downs of the business. Most will say no, and some will say yes. That’s the reality of any business and there will be peaks and valleys. Oh well, that is the case with any successful endeavor. 

Success Key 5 - Stick close to your new team partners for the first few days, weeks and certainly the first month they are in the business. Cheer them on, encourage them, and acknowledge every success they have. 

Success Key 6 - teach each person the importance of follow up, and not waiting for their prospects to call them and say they are ready. Most won’t. A few do, but most will not so teach them to grow a business faster by staying with their prospects. 

Success Key 7 - Teach them how to enroll and get a new team partner started. Enroll other’s by asking them if they are ready to get started. And, then follow the exact steps above to get their new people launched.

100 Wealthy Women Project 

This is a project that I started thinking about a few years back, but had no name or real sense of how it would all come together. 

I wanted to help women create more overall Wealth in their lives, and not just in finances, but health, community, family and relationships, security, balance, self confidence and self empowerment and more! I knew there was a way to do this – a way to come together collectively as a team. But, I did know what that was going to look like, as I wanted to combine it with my desire to have a global business, too. I met and made friends with a fabulous woman and business/life coach, Karin Lehman, who I interviewed on this podcast last year. Listen to it here. 

http://jackieulmer.com/karin-lehmann-life-business-coach-interview/ One of Karin’s gifts is to help others uncover what their gifts are. In December, at a holiday party for our women’s networking group, she leaned over and whispered to me - I know what your gift is. It’s helping women create wealth. Bam! That spoke to me and confirmed my desire to fulfill this mission and project of building a team of strong, amazing women and helping many more create wealth in all areas of their lives. Finally it all came together for me with my Direct Sales company, when it checked the box of so many things I wanted. The questions that are answered through this project - You love working with and inspiring other women You want to look and feel confident and radiant You are interested in Direct Sales, but have never found the right fit You find many male dominated companies are not a fit for you (they don’t speak your “language”) You want to experience more of “Having it all” but are unsure how to do that You want a solid, global business and to work with a team of powerful, yet gracious women You are ready for a change Now, as I mentioned, it may not be for you, but if you know anyone who is looking; frustrated; and ready for a change, but still believes in Direct Sales. please refer them my way. And, think about how this might fit for you, in your own business. Something like this, that is! If that interests you, of course!

Let’s talk about Productivity Hacks for Direct Sales.

Productivity Hacks for Direct Sales

How can I be more productive in my day and in my direct sales business? What things should I be focused on each day? What are the best books for productivity in Direct Sales? I have read dozens and dozens of books, and maybe I can give a summary because as good as ANY book is, each of us kind of have to find our own WAY, of being productive, and our current life situation will dictate that.

A few things I have learned that work for me, personally -

Start with your WHY - without that, nothing else matters.

This is the single biggest step that most people miss. I’m going to include why and vision all together here, because I believe they are closely related and if you have one, you can and should have the other.

Have a recipe for a big life. WHAT do you want from your life? This is the start of crafting your vision. And, become a huge part of your why.

Create your ideal life in your mind. Write down everything you want.

Income, home, where you live, lifestyle, other material things, relationships, giving and contribution, travel experiences. 

This is the first step in giving yourself the direction you need to go.

Do more than just think it, though. Write it down. And then put that away somewhere that you remember and can come back to later. Ideally, make a copy of it and read it several times each day.

Revise and add to that list over time, as you and your business grow.

This is YOUR vision and YOUR why. There is no right or wrong and don’t get sucked into creating someone else’s vision if it’s not a fit for you.

Next, Use a REALISTIC To Do list each day. I do mean realistic. For most people, that list will include 2-3 most important income producing activities each day.

Prioritize that list, and get the most important things done first.

Pay attention to your own peak times and do the most important things during these times. I am a morning person so I schedule everything that really takes my energy, focus and BEST effort as early as possible. This is challenging because I also like to workout first thing. But, I have conditioned myself to work out in the afternoon when needed, and actually, this gives me more energy later in the day. If you are a night owl, then do your best stuff then. 

Develop a plan of action and commit to it for at least 90 days. Example - offline networking - don't go once and then quit. Be consistent for 90 days and then evaluate. Facebook parties/events - work like crazy and let go of fear for 90 days. Then evaluate and tweak as needed.

Start your blog and be consistent with it. Blogging is NOT dead and google still returns the biggest percentage of traffic and leads to websites and blogs.

Do social media in small time breaks when you can't be doing anything else productive.

3 most important things in ANY day for your Direct Sales business - Reach out to XX number of new contacts each day - party or business. Follow up with previous contacts. Reach out to a customer or two each day.

I could speak all day on this, but focus on these things and you'll find what works best for you.

There are many ways to find success in this business and everyone has obstacles and challenges. But, that's just a test. Where there is a will, there is a way and obstacles and challenges are MEANT to be overcome!

In the next show, I will cover a typical day in my own business, encompassing online and offline activities, as well as my morning routine and affirmations for success.

Why and Vision in Direct Sales

While walking on the beach, I was struck with huge gratitude to live in such a beautiful place, here by the beach in Ventura, California.

I am blessed by the freedom that my business offers to plan my own day and time, and no one else controls my agenda.

It caused me to reflect on how important Why and Vision in Direct Sales matter so much! It guides everything in our life, actually.

I have recently struggled with some peaks and valleys in getting my schedule really set so that I didn’t feel like my business was running me. I was beginning to feel like a slave to my business and it came down to one thing - my lack of just taking back control.

After all, no one else controls my agenda but me!

So I took some time and wrote out my why, my business desires, and what I want to achieve.

I give huge credit to Ray Higdon, for the role he has played in getting control of my mindset and getting organized for success. Thoughts first, calendar second and that time is our most precious commodity. 

What I know is when you get your to do list prioritized and you commit to it, success is much more likely to happen.

Here is my day - 

I start with my morning routine.

I work out.

I tackle the most important things first, which are the income producing activities.

I have a big Facebook event coming up, and you can click the link to check it out.

https://www.facebook.com/events/1537107986590866/

So, today I knocked out the most important parts of my day, and then I headed out on my beach walk with the dog, around 1pm.

While I was there, I was struck my something one of my other mentors, Richard Brooke, said once when I interviewed him. I asked him what was the best part of his career in Direct Sales, and he said - It allows me to live in beautiful places.

WOW! That really struck me!

And, it made me reflect on my own life and the many beautiful places I have lived and where I now live.

Have you taken the time to REALLY write out your why and you vision?

And, it’s okay for that to change over time as things change and you enter a new life situation.

Part 3 Show Notes

#1 The Haughty on the High Horse - never be demeaning about a J. O. B - this business is not for everyone and it can be very hurtful and turn people off from the beginning and you may never get the chance to share and help them understand our profession.

Some people LOVE their job and don’t want out of it. So, never assume that they do. Ask them questions. Determine their why and don’t project your why on them.

We aren’t better than anyone because we are in network marketing. We have just chosen another path. Stay humble, despite your income.

#2 -MLM Junkie - multiple streams of income are great. Multiple Network Marketing companies is not. Focus. Put your energies into the success of one.

Pick the company you want to have problems with because every company is going to have issues.

#3 - the Networking Tasmanian Devil - how to work networking groups effectively. Be a giver. Become a leader within the group. Lead with your product and do one on one meetings and get to know each other and build relationships.

What a great series. I hope you learned a ton. Visit Adam and Michelle at AdamAndMichellecarey.com

Part 2 Show Notes

#1 The Social Media Spammer - when you post all about your opportunity before you make your list and contact people individually, you send out a red flag right up front as why they may not want to take your call.

Instead share lifestyle photos, and engaging posts that create curiosity and not raise red flags.

Take it off of social media as soon as you can and off of Facebook Messenger. Make a phone call or do a Skype call.

Choose your “friends” on Facebook wisely and vet them out based on whether you can be of a mutual benefit if you don’t really know each other.

Jackie shares that she is cleaning up her own friend’s list and won’t accept friends who have nothing but business info on their profile.

#2 The Long Winded Writer - know when to take it off social media. Set appointments through messenger and then get on the phone, and don’t be a motor mouth though the written word.

Michelle shares a great technique for contacting those who you have not connected with for awhile and using the third party approach about expanding her business in their area. 

#3 - Negative Nancy and Poor Me Paul - we’ve all had them, those who just whine about everything, especially on Social Media. 

Instead of thinking - “I have to…” think - I get to….”

If no one is willingly following you, you may want to look inward and see if you might be putting off some negative energy.

#4 - The Stalker - the one who takes the concept of follow up too far. Keep in touch, but make it about more than just the business. Become a friend and remain interested.

Adam and Michelle Carey started their network marketing career in 2008, during the financial crisis that swept the nation. Adam was a luxury boat salesman and needless to say, that industry went quiet for awhile.

They were introduced to network marketing by Adam’s mom, and while they were not fast starters, they stuck with it, and after 2 years, they had a stable business and were on their way.

They’ve learned a lot and now they share some solid ideas with all of us in Direct Sales to help us not fall into those pitfalls that can make the journey more difficult.

And, they share the power in having a mentor, and eliminating bills and distractions so they could fully focus on the business. Their backs were against the wall, and they came out with a full court press.

Their mentor was someone a little further upline who took them under her wing and taught them how to be successful in Network Marketing. She had a lot of credibility and experience in business.

Don’t Be That Guy in Network Marketing - your guide to network marketing etiquette; 21 common mistakes that will label you as “that guy!”

Adam and Michelle became student’s of the profession and believe that is a key part of their success. They attended a lot of trainings, driving 3 hours once a month and learned the same stuff each time, over and over. The simple fundamentals of the business.

Our whole goal in the Network Marketing profession is to get people to just take a look. That is it.

#1 The Sneak Attack MLMer - the people who hide the fact that their company is a network marketing company. They use fancy terms to avoid saying - this is network marketing.

“I believe to be successful you must live your life unoffended and unashamed.” 

#2 The Lack Listener - focus on being interested and not so worried about how interesting you are. Ask good questions, be a good listener and pay attention. 

“Connecting is the ability to identify with people and relate to them in a way that increases your influence with them.”

Know how to get people to like you.

#3 - The Motor Mouth - don’t oversell people and don’t confuse the invitation with the network marketing presentation. Don’t give out business cards and information, get to know them, and ask for theirs. Ask questions, and share stories.

Use the tools, don’t BE a tool! No matter how good you are at giving a presentation, let the tools do the work.

Qualify people very well before you make the call. Let them know you are serious and time is precious.

How you are taking people through the system is training them on how they will build the business.

12 Things Successful People Do Differently in Direct Sales

These 12 things are certainly true in Direct Sales and Network Marketing and also in life or business of any kind!

#1 - Successful people create and pursue S.M.A.R.T. Goals and they write them down. SMART Goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time Bound. Measurable and Achievable can be sketchy. Sometimes, goals change, and you want to certainly pursue achievable goals. And, realistic can be a stretch in the beginning, but nothing wrong with big goals.

#2 - Successful people take decisive and immediate action. Nothing creates momentum and excitement more than immediate (and massive) action. We all know what busy work is in Network Marketing.

#3 - Successful people focus on productive action and not just being busy. look back over the last week and rate yourself on how much was busy work, and how much was productive, as in income producing activities?

#4 - Successful people make logical, informed decision. Success in business requires decision making regularly. Don’t spend too much time over analyzing these things?

#5 - Successful people avoid the trap of trying to make everything look perfect. There is no room for perfection in business. Success is all about getting into action and trying, testing , tweaking and seeing what happens.

#6 - Successful people work outside of their comfort zone. I know, you don’t want to hear this, but it is TRUE! The more action you will take to get yourself out of your comfort zone, the easier it will get.

#7 - Successful people keep things simple. Network Marketing is simple, but not easy, and really, the only part that isn’t easy is what goes on between our ears. Use tools, don’t try to explain everything and take the necessary action steps.

#8 - Successful people focus on small, and continuing improvements. If you will just get into action, you will grow and improve. Each time you talk to someone about your Direct Sales opportunity, you get a little better.

#9 - Successful people measure and track their progress. Tracking is so important. At the end of the month, you want to have a tracking sheet so you can see what you actually did to move your business forward. Who did you contact? Who did you follow up with? What did you track?

#10 - Successful people maintain a positive outlook as they learn from mistakes. And, really there are no mistakes. It is all about trying and testing and making small improvements on what you learn from those actions. We all have times when we say too much, but that’s how we learn.

#11 - Successful people spend time with the right people. On your team, and with prospects is so important. And, attending company conventions is the next area you want to get around the right people with the right mindset you have the experience and knowledge to assist you.

#12 - Successful people maintain balance in their life. Now, I have always struggled with the word balance and you may, too. It’s a bit of a myth to think we will always have “balance.” Be committed to spending quality time in the right areas of your life. You know what those are. There must be room for family and relationships, health and wellness, spiritually as well as your business. Make sure there is time for all areas.

And, create systems to help your business stay in gear even when you aren’t there pushing it forward. Create a pinch me business with automation!

It’s great to create leads and income even when you aren’t there, face to face with others!

What If I Don’t Like All of My Direct Sales Company Products

 

 

You’re Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 242 and on today’s show, I’m going to talk about a question a lot of people have asked me and that is - what do I do when I don’t like or use a product offered by my direct sales company? Do I have to use it?

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  StreetSmartWealth.com/coach

Check the podcast archives on the blog at JackieUlmer.com for previous episodes if you missed any or are new to the show.

What If I Don’t Like All of My Direct Sales Company Products

 

We’ve all heard it right, USE your products. Be a product of the product! Replace everything in your home with your own Network Marketing product line.

 

But what happens if you don’t like a certain product? Or use that type of product?

 

First, try everything at least once, but then be fair to yourself. We won’t always like or need and use every single product offered by our company.

 

And, that’s okay.

 

Know how to develop your product story.

 

http://jackieulmer.com/059/

 

And, when you come across a product that your direct sales company offers that is not a fit for you, just share very authentically why it doesn’t work, and then ask question of your prospect about what they might be looking for!

 

In many ways, it can make you more real and down to earth to your prospects when you are “open” to the fact that not every product will always be a fit for everyone.

 

That makes you less in sales mode!

 

So, if you get that question -  What If I Don’t Like All of My Direct Sales Company Products - be ready to answer it authentically and support each person in their own journey.

You’re Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 241, and today, we are going to talk once again about fear, and doubt and how this affects everything we do in our Direct Sales Business. And, let’s talk about your “B” roll.

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.

Fear, Direct Sales and Your B Roll

We all have fears when it comes to Network Marketing and the business we have started.

Will we be successful? Will we flop big time? Will others buy your products or join you in your Direct Sales business? And, the big one - what will others think or say when they learn what you are doing?

Do we ever truly get over fear? Even as a top income earner, do fears still creep in?

Yes, they DO still creep in.

Sometimes, we just lose our way.

One of my struggles a few years back was letting the negativity of others around building using the internet make me question whether it would work.

How crazy is that? I became the top income earner and top team builder/leader in a previous company through the internet.

My team held 19 of the top 20 spots on Google for our primary key word.

So, I let doubt and fear derail me and I took a step back from my internet marketing for almost a year. I was still out there online, but I did a whole lot of offline stuff and at the end of the year, when I re-evaluated, my online efforts produced far more than offline.

That is NOT to suggest offline doesn’t work or was not worth it. Just an interesting study.

Another fear I ran into was when I changed companies and joined a makeup company.

What was I thinking? Why would a 50 year old woman be out there posting selfies; doing makeup tutorials and so on? Who did I think I was?

And, yet, 50 Is the new 30, or at least 35, ha! And, it’s not a point where we want to stop looking our best, feeling our best or playing with makeup!

So, I started pondering how fabulous I would have been had I found that company in my 30s. I would be bold, on camera and so on.

But, here is the reality - in my 30s, I was still self conscious and had doubts and fears. It’s easy to look back and think we would be a certain way, but would we?

So, what are some of your fears? And what is the root of those fears? How are these fears serving you?

You’re Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 240, and today, I want to share what I was taught long ago by one of my earliest mentors in online marketing, for how to lay out your plan and strategy, starting with your most wanted response for your Direct Sales Business.

Your Online Marketing Plan - Begin With the End in Mind

The Internet is a very efficient, effective way of locating high quality people all over the world, and even within 20 minutes of your home.

Now, think about what it is that you want to accomplish through your web presence, and then work it backwards.

Ken Evoy, a highly successful Internet Business Coach, taught me to always think of what my “Most Wanted Response” is in any situation.

I have determined my Most Wanted Response and I work it backward from there, and here is my thought process on this for the Internet -

Ultimately, I want to sponsor team partners into my Network Marketing business.

To do this, I must introduce my business to them.

For this to happen, they have to have a relationship with me and be open to looking. I have to have presented my opportunity, sold myself and my partnership and answered their questions.

To get to that point, we need to have dialogue. I initiate this through my Auto-responders, designed to give them something of value and develop that "know me, like me, trust me" syndrome, which is so important on the Internet.

But, before that, how did we even connect to begin having a dialogue? In most cases, they find me.

They come through my own online marketing funnels; advertising programs; or my own efforts of marketing (warm market, vehicle web decal, business card, etc.)

Before I begin working with these prospects who come in, my system needs to be in place.

So, in essence, the system consists of –

My personal website/blog, or "hub of the universe!" This is where all of my marketing funnels send them to find out more about me and my business information. 

Lead Capture/Auto-responders – for list building; capturing their name; email address and in some cases, phone, address and other information. From there, I can continue the relationship with them. Your auto-responder/list building will likely consist of two separate campaigns - one for providing generic content and establishing yourself as an "expert" (newsletter) and one with "business content"; for once they become interested in your business and opt-in to that list. (More on this later!)

Marketing funnels – how they find me.

  So, in checklist order, here is what I do -

Get my web site/blog in order, with thorough details on me and what I am offering them, along with web site links to find out more about my business and the company.

My website/blog needs to contain plenty of content and value for my visitor and not be just a sales pitch. How many times have you landed on site after site and it's nothing but someone trying to sell you something. Turn off, huh? You want to be different.

Work it right and the time will come when the visitor asks you about your business and that is just what you want.

Lead Capture Auto-responder forms need to be placed on the site, so I can capture their name and email to know they were there and to follow up. This also allows me to deliver immediate information to them, even if it’s 2:00am. (More on this later.)

Get my Auto-responder campaigns done (they are never REALLY done, but get them to a point that you can promote. The "tweaking" is ongoing!) These campaigns are what explain my business and partnership. This also includes creating a “free giveaway” or report to entice them for their name/email.

Get any marketing funnels that I am using ready. This gets people looking at my business RIGHT NOW!

Develop other methods of marketing - web decal, advertising, offline methods, etc. 

Follow up, follow up, and follow up – first by phone, if possible; next through a personal email; finally through your Auto-responder pipeline, which continues to drip information over time.

Continuing education - every day, find some way to educate myself on personal development, business education, Internet education, etc.

Unfortunately, many people get bogged down in the process of setting up a viable Internet system, quitting before they get to the best part.

The best part about setting up an Online Marketing System is that once it is done, for the most part, it is done!

While it can seem a little technical in the beginning, as I always assure people, I am not a technical person, I am a marketing person! Be willing to commit to the challenge of getting it done and you'll be so glad you did.

So, get the technical part of setting things up out of the way first, and then focus 100% of your efforts on marketing your system. And, invest in ongoing education about new internet techniques. The Internet is still brand new in so many respects so new things are always popping up. Be aware and be the cutting edge.

Facebook and Your Business Page for Direct Sales

You’re Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 239, and today, I want to share what I learned at the recent Facebook Boost Your Business event, sponsored by Facebook that I attended and talk specifically about your Business Page, and things you’ll want to know!

Facebook and Your Business Page for Direct Sales

We’re in business, right, so why not have a Facebook business page, too, right? Here is why a business Facebook page is so important. Not to be techie, but Facebook is basically a closed system that is not indexed by Google. Facebook Business pages ARE indexed by Google, though. This just basically means that people can find your Facebook business timeline in Google!

It’s publicly searchable and you get “google juice” based on the content you have created. An active page on Facebook will translate to rankings on Google.

Someone doing some specific keyword searching on Google could land on your page. This is especially true with events!

You have 3 opportunities to connect with people - your friends, your followers and your business page followers.

Here are some things we know about the Business Arena for Facebook:

It’s a Pay to Play environment.

It takes WORK to grow a successful Facebook page. And, I mean WORK. Every day. I’m going to be honest here - that is why I put SO much more time and energy into my blog and building my list. I own it and I control what happens with it. 

Every time I send an email to my list, I know that I have the CHANCE that everyone on that list will open it. Not everyone will, that’s the reality. But, at least they can. 

With Facebook, they make it very clear that they will NOT be showing my content to everyone unless I pay for it, and even then, I am competing with all of their friends, and other content.

Here is what happens when you make a status update on your business page. Facebook chooses a small segment of your fans to show it to first, and there is a small window of opportunity for it to organically get more reach. In that small time frame, if there is no engagement, Facebook kills it. If there is some engagement, they open it to a wider audience, but still small when it’s organic. And, great engagement gets a little more.

You need to take time to identify your Target Audience for your Facebook page - what are they looking for a solution to?

You want to define that solution and then develop a content strategy around that, and be consistent.

Outside ways to promote your Facebook Page -

Networking offline

Periscope 

Instagram

Twitter

YouTube and other Social Media Platforms

12 Step Facebook Checklist for Your Direct Sales Business

Ready to get your BUSINESS launched on Facebook? This guide will take you through the basic steps on how to be successful using Facebook, especially if you have never had a business that you talked about in Social Media before.

There is a right way and a wrong way to do things. We want to create curiosity, share our passion and enthusiasm, and ultimately get people coming to us and asking - WHAT do you do?

So, here are 12 steps to "Clean Things Up" if needed and get you ready to rock it on Facebook!

We start with cleaning up our “Space” first, kind of like you would if you were putting your home on the market to sell. You wouldn’t host an open house before you cleaned the place up and made it presentable, right? So that’s what we are going to do here.

Your Profile Picture - Is it clear? Well lit? Something that represents you well and creates an immediate brand image you want to convey? And, is it a photo of YOU, and just YOU? It should be, for business, that is. Not your family; a company logo or any of that. Just YOU!

2. Your Cover Photo - Unlike your profile photo, you can and should change out your cover photo regularly. Now that you are using Facebook for business, be creative with this. Just like your profile picture, take a look at it from the viewpoint of your visitors - Does it represent your brand? Not your company brand, as in not photos of products and such, but YOU as a brand?

3. Your About Section - This is your most valuable piece of “real estate” on Facebook, so spend some time there today and make sure it is a clear reflection of your brand. This is where you have the BEST chance to sell yourself and create interest in your business. The About section is the second most visited page/area of any website or profile.

    4. Your Friends - The ultimate way to sponsor others with Facebook, is to begin to develop a large following of friends, would be friends and turn them into potential and active business partners. I call this creating “New warm market!” You start this process by building a relationship with them, based on trust, common interests, and a general feeling that they know you, and can relate to you. It takes time to have success, but what doesn’t?

5. Your Content Shared - Take a step back and LOOK at your status updates over the last month. Are they consistent? How many times a day do you post? Can people get a real "sense" of who you are by what you share? IS there a HINT even that you have a business that you are passionate about? From here, you can begin to develop a content strategy for daily and weekly sharing that is going to begin to create what you want - INTEREST and QUESTIONS. Make sure the content you share doesn't alienate anyone who might be right for your business and my suggestion - avoid heated topics!

  6. Friends Inventory - Take an Inventory of Your "Friends." For some of you, this will be easy, as you probably really KNOW most of the people you are friends with, in the REAL, offline world. For others, who have been in the home business world for awhile, you may be like me - you have a bit of a mess on your hands, and have no CLUE who some of these people are. Back in the beginning of Facebook, quantity was king and we thought that the more friends we had, the better for business, right? WRONG! It's okay to unfriend people where there really isn't a win-win, and you don't really know them.

7. Reconnect With Friends - Begin to reconnect with your friends on Facebook. Obviously, some of them you connect with all of the time, but who on your list have you not reached out to for awhile. Set a goal to reach out to 3 people each day. Not about your business, but just to check in and see how they are doing; what they are doing; and catch up. Before you private message them, go to their profile and scroll down and see what’s been going on. Make a comment about recent events when you message them so they know you took the time and are truly interested.

8. Create New Warm Market - Add Friends! One of the first things you’ll want to start working on is growing your list of contacts on Facebook. We are limited to having 5000 friends, and the magic number to REALLY begin to see things happen is around 2000. There are a few ways to begin to grow your list of friends. One, find friends of your current friends. Who is also commenting on the status updates of your friends? Who posts stuff on your friends wall? Who are friends of your friends in your local community?Another great way to find people are groups.

9. Consistency - I recommend a minimum of 5 updates a day, and remember the 80/20 rule. 80% social, fun, engaging and so on. 20% business related. Too much business and your audience will tune you out. Find the right mix and do your business posts in a way that create curiosity and you will catch those people about your business when the time is right. Even with 4000 friends, maybe only 10% are active regularly and going to see what you share. So, if you only have 200 friends, that's 20 people. 500 friends and that's still only 50. That is why it is SO important to add to your friends list, and market daily! That is goal #1!!!

10. Friends Lists - A feature few people use is the “Lists” feature for your friends. You can categorize your Friends into lists, based on how you know them and common interests and then it is much easier to check in, as well as make custom status updates that can only be seen by the friends/lists who you want it shown to. And, this is a great way to keep up with all different friends and not just what Facebook chooses to show you. Start by clicking the FRIENDS link to the left in your newsfeed or “home link.” As far as I know, you can not create or view friend’s lists on a device - only on a computer. Let me know if you know a way around this.     11. Sharing Your Business - At some point, you will want to begin sharing light details about your business. I call Facebook the “Cheers” of the internet, like the 90s sitcom. You walk into the bar, everyone knows your name; you have some good friends, and some acquaintances and you are all sitting around sharing LIFE. LIFE includes fun, social, entertainment, and your career or business. The key is to keep it LIGHT when sharing business. I use the 80/20 rule, meaning 80% social and fun, 20% business and even business, I keep it subtle, and indirect. That means I never say - JOIN MY TEAM; or anything salesy. Acknowledge team promotions; share photos of you out working your business; shoot a video of why you joined, and so on. Then, begin to incorporate these types of photos into your daily/weekly updates.

12. Daily Strategy - Now that you are in a groove with Facebook, and your profile is set up the way you want it, and designed to work as a “calling card” for you and your business (meaning when someone clicks to your About section, they get a view into who you are, and have the chance to click and learn more about your business) it’s time to develop a daily strategy of updates and engagement. Post 3-5 times daily, and mix it up. Some fun, some social, some life stuff and some business sprinkled in. And, make sure you spend time in the newsfeed and in your friend lists commenting on status updates of others. This helps you “trick” the Facebook algorithm to some extent. Visit the groups that you are aligned with and where you can build true friendships. Reach out to 3 people a day, just to reconnect.

Haters in Your Direct Sales Business

Who's your "Mean Janeen?" If you've ever heard me share my story of struggle in the early days, you may remember my "Evil Neighbor", Mean Janeen.

In a nutshell, I finally got up the courage to go next door, ring her doorbell, carrying my "prospecting packet" for my business to share with her. Oh, I am SURE I said way too much when she answered the door, and I opened my mouth to talk about my exciting new opportunity, and maybe she  would want to explore the possibilities?

She - SERIOUSLY - threw her head back, CACKLED in a very Halloween Witchy sounding laugh, slapped her knee and said - YOU got involved in one of those? They NEVER work....BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.

I don't remember what she said after that because my ears started ringing, I felt a white hot rush of anger and humiliation rise up and she began to sound like Charlie Brown's teacher to me - WAAA WAAA WAAA.

I managed to slink back home and stew in my self pity for a few hours, and when I finally "Snapped out of it", I made a decision RIGHT there.

I made a decision to PROVE HER WRONG. And that is EXACTLY WHAT I DID.

I let a negative experience fuel me with drive and ambition.

I moved out of that neighborhood, and moved on from that era of my life. And, I moved on from her. BUT, I have never moved on from the power she ultimately provided me with through her own short sightedness.

Funny thing, she still lives there, on Divorce #3, one kid had some drug trouble, and her daughter has issues, too. I know that sounds like I am judging her. I'm not really. I have no need to. But isn't it ironic....

Who's YOUR Mean Janeen? Let's work together to let ALL of those "MJ" in our lives fuel our drive and passion!

Wrap Up on the Book Go Pro in Your Network Marketing Business 

Notes From Today’s Show:

Anything worthwhile takes time, and even if you aren’t a fast starter in your business, understand the longevity side of it.

Buy a McDonald’s Franchise and they tell you, after you’ve spent a million bucks, that it’s going to be at least 2-5 years before you will be in profit.

There is a timeline for success in Direct Sales and network marketing, and we all come in with a difference set of skills.

You want to work with your sponsor to create that 30 day success story, and create belief for yourself that you can share with others.

We have a business of longevity and everyone is going to have their own way and time frame of getting signed up, and getting into action.

Take massive action, for sure!

Know the rule of 1/3s. 1/3 are getting started, 1/3 are doing something, 1/3 are leaving.

Stay out of management mode and keep building your own business!

We do a few simple steps over and over again.

We make a plan; we DO that plan and take action on it; we review the plan after 90 days and make some adjustments and write a new plan. Then, we get to work on that plan!

It is SO worth the journey, I do promise you that. I did an interview a number of years back where I was asked what the best part of having accomplished my goals was.

It’s not the money, although that is great.

IT’s not the recognition of being the top income earner in a direct sales company - although that was great, too.

It is the knowledge that I had done it, become one of the 1/2 of 1% of all people in Network Marketing. 

The person you become along the journey is priceless. The people you meet and the places you see are also awesome!
