Being Professional in Online Marketing


Being professional in my online business is really important to me. When you are market online, it’s easy to convey just about anything to your target audience, but it’s always best to convey and market the true you.

Why is having the utmost professionalism so difficult for marketers these days? It seems so many go to one company, they praise and promote it as if it were the holy grail. Then, before you know it, they quit and move onto something else. How is it possible that you can believe so strongly in one thing, and a few days later you’ve already changed your mind?

Being professional isn’t difficult, it’s merely a choice you make. So, what are the signs you need to look for before you start working with someone in their business? I am going to share with you the details on what to look for, the simple signs that you’ll see online through social media, and how you can make sure that you are following your true passion in life.

Being Professional Online is a Choice

When you joined your home based business, what was your determining factor? What was that one thing that really made you want to join, and what made you want to stick with it?

I always ask my fellow marketers this question, or my team members when they join me in my business. The truth is, most people join a company because they hear the best story, the winning story, and nothing negative. What you won’t hear from most marketers is their journey, and how many times they wanted to quit.

Being professional is a choice, and this means that an honest marketer will tell you:

  1. How they got started
  2. The bumps along the way
  3. WHY they do what they do
  4. What their passion in life is
  5. Where they are right now

Being transparent is probably an even better word, but there are tons of issues we’ll talk about here that go under this umbrella of being professional or not. All in all, for me, it comes down to someone sharing their story, and then telling me “their WHY” and “the how”.

Do you ever find that most online marketers leave out the how to? It’s time that we all focus on sharing the how to, because each one of us has different methods that work, and someone may try it, but it may not work for them. You won’t know until you share it!

Being Professional is Being Transparent

One thing I truly believe is that most marketers that claim to make millions per year, may not even make six figures. Why? They are always showing pictures of them holding money, stacks of cash on their desk, and talking about how they travel all around the world whenever they wish.

This isn’t inspiring or helping anyone for that matter. It’s time that people get more transparent about what they do and why. Faking people out into believing that they are doing something that they are not is unethical and it’s so misleading if you haven’t done it yet. Share with people how you are doing, and WHY you feel the way you do. If you tried something and fell flat on your face, tell it!

Being professional for me is tops, and it’s the only way to build a business. In fact, you should know that attraction marketing isn’t about making what you do look attractive, it’s about YOU being attractive! Now can you recall a time when you say something or heard someone say something that just seemed too good to be true?

I am sure that you can, and you’ll always see a few in the crowd. However, you don’t have to be one of them. If you want to learn more about how to set the standard for creating income online, and how to work from home and have freedom, then you are in the right place. I don’t claim to have made millions online, and I am still learning everyday.

What I can tell you is that I am learning from the best in the industry!

Personal Development Plan-Why You Need One to Help You Stay in the Game!


A personal development plan is a great idea, and if you don’t have one right now, you’ll find it can add much to your life. In fact, this may be the one thing you are missing. Even if you feel that your business is going the direction you want or that your life is “okay”, remember, you need to maintain your life for the long term. The only way that you can do this is to work on yourself constantly.

Do you ever feel that you could use an extra boost in life? Do you feel that you are working toward something greater in life? Do you want to accomplish more but you just aren’t sure how? In this blog post, I am going to share with you how you can focus on developing a personal development plan that is right for you, and one that will help you become a more goal oriented individual and a successful one too!

How Your Personal Development Plan Can Help You

One of the things you might be wondering, is how you come up with a personal development plan in the first place. Oftentimes, these plans are created by:

  1. Life coaches
  2. Counselors
  3. Fitness trainers that offer this service

If you are wondering what this all means, consider Tony Robbins. He is a true life coach, and has many years of experience. Tony is one of the foremost experts in this area of life, and has been helping thousands. It never ceases to amaze me what he can do, and this is why he has built such a tremendous following over the past 15 years. If you don’t know who he is, kindly pull up the Google Search, and you’ll find out all about him!

Your personal development is so important, so that you can become unshakeable in life, and so you can teach others and share with others how they can do the same. Remember, if you want to build a strong business, the best thing you can do is lead by example. Weren’t your parents a tremendous influence for you?

If so, think about how luck you really are to have folks like that in your life. Without their influence where would you be? You could be reading this, and be one of the many that was without at least one parent, so struggling with personal issues is something you may have faced.

If you really want to advance in life, then the best thing you can do is work through the tough stuff, and you’ll come out shining on the other side. How do you do it? You just may need a personal development plan to help you!

Can Your Personal Development Plan Help You With Your Business?

If you want to do great things with your business, you need to make sure that your personal life is in order. What does this really mean? You need to make sure that all areas of your life are in order that will affect you emotionally, mentally, and physically. This means that the right plan could help you:

  1. Work on your emotional being
  2. How you function mentally on a daily basis
  3. Get in better physical shape

When you make sure that your life is balance and harmony, your business will have no choice but to flourish. Ask those you trust and those you value who they recommend around you, or even someone in the world of business if they can help you with a personal development plan to get you moving!

Leadership For Success – 5 Daily Actions To Take


Leadership For Success In Your Business

 

If you’re new to running your own business then you’ll want to develop leadership for success in whatever it is you are selling or promoting. Leadership is a key element to the successful running of any business and listed below are 5 very important techniques that many of the successful leaders in industry use every day.

“Why does my business need leadership for success?”

Because in order to be successful in a variety of businesses, you have to position yourself as a leader and expert in your field. People want to follow people that are successful – people they see as leaders and people that really are experts in their field. And when they get to know, like and trust you, they will buy off you.  It’s as simple as that. Most businesses need great leadership for success.

So what ARE the 5 DAILY actions that successful leaders take?

1. Daily Visualisation And Meditation Of Your Goals

Did you know that you have the power to influence your subconscious mind? Did you also know that your conscious mind is tiny compared to your massive subconscious mind?

You need to work out your goals and they have to be very specific.  You can’t just say you want to be successful in business.  You have to define what that success is and what it looks like.  To give you an idea, it could be a goal of earning $10,000 per month by a certain date. You can’t just say that you want to earn lots of money – that’s not going to work on your subconscious mind.  You have to work out the specifics of what you want to achieve and dates by which you want to achieve your goals.

I recommend you put your goals into a list and visualise them each day. Say them out loud so that your subconscious mind can start to find ways to deliver solutions to you to enable you to achieve those goals. You’ll find that in time, the more obsessed you become with something, the more likely it is to happen. Think back to things in your life that you’ve wanted so badly, that they’ve eventually happened for you.  You made them happen.

2. Income Producing Activities

You have to be disciplined to do the things in your business that are going to make you money.  You must market your busin

ess daily or you simply won’t get any leads or customers. That could be placing adverts on the Internet, writing a blog post,  interacting with your customers through social media, email or by speaking to them.  Imagine if you had a shop on a high street, are you just going to rely on passing trade to come into your store or are you going to proactively market it?  Without customers, you have no business. Same applies online.

3. Mastermind With Other Leaders

Make sure you mastermind with as many successful leaders or mentors in your industry as possible. Can you access live calls, conference calls, trainings or webinars? You’ll find that the more you can mix with other leaders who are like-minded and positive, their influence on you will have a dramatic effect.

As time goes by, the more you immerse and surround yourself in the company of other leaders, you’ll start to speak their language and your transition to becoming a leader will be much easier.

4. Cultivate The Expectation Of Leadership For Success

Don’t wait to HAVE what other leaders have before you DO what other leaders do so you can BE what other leaders are.  Do it the other way around.  BE the leader, DO what leaders do and you will HAVE what leaders have.  So have belief in yourself and create that vital leadership for success, the life-blood of any business.

5. Personal Development

Never miss an opportunity for daily personal development or training. Always be a student and increase your knowledge and expertise. You can read books, listen to audio, do training courses and best of all, attend live events  Try and learn something new every day. If you’re not learning, you’re standing still.

I was taught the importance of these 5 daily actions from my mentor Jay Kubassek, Co-Founder of SFM & DEA – top leader in Internet marketing and entrepreneurial education. I spent quite a bit of time with him at the first PRO-U PEAK Mastermind event in Costa Rica. Click here to view a video of us chatting.  David Wood, Co-Founder of the Empower Network was also there and he and I had a really interesting chat one afternoon.

 

Here, take a look at David and I chatting by the pool……..

Can  you imagine the effect meeting these top two leaders had on me? It was awesome!

So there you have it. If you get into daily habits of doing these 5 things, you’ll soon realise  the importance of leadership for success in your business.
