5 Daily Methods Of Operation
If you’re and entrepreneur then you probably already have a DMO (Daily Method Of Operation ). Every successful person either in business, or entrepreneurship tells me they us a daily method of operations.
Five things I found to be very effective and they are easy enough that anyone can use them. These simple steps will help you to obtain the level of success once you apply them into your daily routine.
Personal Development — Having a POSITIVE mental attitude changes the way we think as a leader or an entrepreneur; which in turn leads to change for success. With so many ways to grab information no one can make the excuse that they don’t have time to do this.
Meditation and Exercise — Spend at least 15 minutes a day meditating on scriptures, a quick go to encouragement pocket book. Exercise daily to increase your body,mind and spirit. Exercising opens up the mind and make entrepreneurs get their creative juices flowing. Personally I find Pilates very relaxing and it works my abs off.
Sharing — Share your business opportunity with at least 10 new people or at the bare minimum 5 people to start building relationships and trust with. Make this a quick less than 2 minute introduction and ask them if they’re interested in watch a video, listening to a CD, Podcast or by whatever tools you can get in front of them within the a few days.
Creating Content — Create content people will want to read, look at and become interested in. Social media can work to your advantage. Learn how to leverage the time you spend on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+, LinkedIn and whatever other social outlet you’re using.
The Artistic Affilate otherwise known as Lesly Federici, RN has many helpful tips for creating content. In her article titled, 5 Creative Ways to Keep Visitors Coming Back she shares many ways to make visitors “think outside the box”. Landing pages, funnels, custom side bars and widgets to name a few.
Sales and Marketing Training — Essential to any business growth is marketing and sales. Sales equals income in the pocketbook! ! Marketing drives interest and curiosity which leads to SALES!
The road to success takes time and it takes one step at a time to achieve the end result.

Intellifluence A New Way To Connect Your Businesses With Consumers
I found an opportunity that fit’s my personality and my niche. Intellifluence is an easy way to build relationships, increase your blog or companies awareness and also sales.
A few months ago I was web surfing for “work from home” opportunities and came across Intellifluence. After much research I signed up. Companies are always looking for people to review their products and share with the masses. The internet has changed the way businesses market their products.
How Does Intellifluence Work?
Using Intellifluence allows your company to communicate directly with interested consumers, acting as the influencer. Most of the companies using this website are small businesses. Bottom lines are tight and marketing products are a challenge. There pricing is reasonable with many options. One can cancel at any time without a penalty.
What Companies Work With Intellifluence?
All kinds of companies from Newair, Reedsy, Simply Earth and companies in need of review bloggers.
Becoming An Influencer
Once the decision is made to become an influencer click the join button and get started. I’ve made it easy for you by clicking my intellifluence link.
Getting Free Stuff and Getting Paid
What? Did I really just read that? Yes, yes you did. The beauty of this website are some of the free sample items, some items the collaborator needs to pay for; however they get to keep it after doing a review.
As a blogger certain companies pitch there ideas along with the payment amount. Should you choose to accept my advise it to set up a Paypal account for receiving payments. It’s better to be secured when it comes to money.
Yes I have made a few dollars and will continue my journey as an influencer. Whatever your decision I wish you all the success.

■ I just got a new job and I’m too busy settling in my new role as their Quality Assurance Manager.
■ I’m too busy helping my husband out after he got home from rehabilitation with his knee replacement surgery.

Happy Anniversary To My Blog
I can’t believe it’s been three years since I started getting more serious with my blog.
As I look back to some previous articles I think “What was I thinking”?
Example my third post titled, Why Do I Work From Home I wrote because I was hoping to start up in an MLM company and be able to stay working at home.
I loved the freedom to do what I wanted when I wanted. However a greater being had other plans for me.
I believe now that not everyone is meant to be in a network marketing company and be a top performer. Okay I hear the doubters and the I told you so’s screaming and laughing at me.
It takes alot to get people involved in your home business. To buy the product your selling and trying to recruit others below you to actually make decent money.
Yes I still believe in network marketing. However it just hasn’t been working out for me. Oh I can hear it all now.. Did you do this and that? Yes and yes!!!
Three year doesn’t seem like that long ago. I thought I just started yesterday ha ha ha.
Happy reading!

3 New Techniques To Spruce Up Your Blog
Weather we like it or not Spring is here. Oh sure it’s snowing right now here in Aurora, CO but that doesn’t change the fact that Spring it here.
When one thinks of Spring it usually means cleaning up inside your home. Dusting, vacuuming and a good deep sprucing up. What’s the purpose? I believe it’s to throw out the winter blues and bring in the sweet smeels and sounds of the new season.
Which lead me to thinking how do I spruce up my blog?
First
Scroll through your blog post see if there are some older ones that you may want to delete. As I looked back I found one or two and I was bewildered at how I came to write them.
Secondly
Repurpose your articles. On December 19, 2015 I wrote this article on how to repurpose your content. It’s really not as hard as you maybe thinking.
Some of the best tips for bloggers come from my fellow Power Affiliate Club Authors. Check us out see how we can help you.
Still scared to repurpose your content?
Go ahead try it, you will be amazed at your self and what you can accomplish.
Lastly
Enter a blogging challenge, increase your vocabulary, use images in your articles. Images help raise the bar of your posts.
Comment on others posts, this will increase traffic to your site as well.
Hope these tips helped you out.

Why I Started Writing A Bolg
I don’t claim to be a professional blogger. But then what is a professional blogger?
I found an interesting article by professional blogger John Saddington titled The Definition of a ‘Professional Blogger’ or ‘Full Time Blogger’ In this post he explains a few different viewpoints.
There are a number of differing viewpoints and not one of them is necessarily incorrect; in fact, anyone has the full right to call themselves a ‘Full Time Blogger‘ or ‘Professional Blogger’ regardless of any outside opinion. But, there seems to be an understanding, both cultural and nuanced, about what it means to be ‘Pro.’
Just think about it for a moment, especially as it relates to professions and jobs in other areas – What do you think of when you say that so and so is a Professional? You probably assume a number of things, right?
I started my blog a few years ago just to voice my opinion about things going on in my life I am passionate about. Learning how to fine tune, hone in, really dig deeper into the fine art of blogging came from meeting Lesly Federici owner and expert author of The Power Affiliate Club. The PAC is a community of bloggers helping each other and offering advice.
I needed to have a voice
Writing my thoughts down and sharing with my readers gives me joy. Mind you not all comments I receive are nice and thank you’s. However for the most part people get interested and comment back. Having your followers comment on any posted article is an honor. I must be doing something right.
When I first started out my posts were short, not alot allot to read and I didn’t really post many images. My very first blog article Creating Your Brand looks absolutely pathetic now.
What was the point I was trying to convey to anyone?
“How do you create more leads, more people to talk to when you’ve gone through your list and heard all the excuses and all the “NO’s” so many times?
Create a brand for yourself. What ??? What I mean is one must be willing to create a brand of themselves on the internet to attract the people they want into their business.”
That’s the jest of it. No instructions given, no real helpful advice. Not so much as even a link to another resource for help.
My main goal
For you , my readers to like what you’re reading and hopefully learn something new along the way.
My personal goal is to continue growing and learning about ways to improve my writing as well as my mindset for success.
I hope you found this enlightening and as always,

For A Single Moment We Forgot Hate
On August 21, 2017 something amazing happened.
Most of you are probably aware that there was a phenomena in the sky called a sloar eclipse. The solar eclipse encapsulated the United States of America and the world for a few shinning moments.
When I saw this meme on Facebook posted by Damien Von Dunn I knew it spoke volumes.
Frederick R Barnard first wrote the phrase, ” One look is worth a thousand words“, in Printer’s Ink, December 1921.”
If one look is worth a thousand words then I found a picture worth a million.
Where were you during the solar eclipse?
Many people traveled across the country to catch a glimpse of totality while other’s stayed home, went to work or school.
Where was I? I was at work in my office. However one of my colleges brought in a pair of glasses to share with anyone who wanted to take a peek. If you missed it click this link to see NASA’s Solar Eclipse Photos.
And for a single moment, our nation stopped, and looked up at the sky and forgot about hate
Lately I’ve been ashamed of the ugliness, hatred and bigotry gripping the United States of America. What has happened to getting along with each other? Settling our differences in a calm and collective manner?
I’m not going to get on a soapbox here, however I am disgusted at the actions some people choose to participate in this past weekend.
Can we just all get along?
Where is the love?
Has love escaped us? Has common sense left the world? Every man, women and child should be reaching deep into their hearts, finding the love, pulling it out and spreading it around.
Enough with wars, violence and hate. Waylon Jennings said it best when he sang “Let’s get back to the basics of love”.
So another eclipse has come and gone. The world stood silent in amazement for just a few moments in time forgetting all it’s cares and worries to bring peace. I wonder when soldiers are fighting in war and on Christmas Eve if at one point they stop everything and listen for the peace?
I hope you found this inspiring and as always I welcome your feedback.
