5 Daily Methods Of Operation

image

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 Affiliate 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 sidebars, and widgets to name a few.

Sales and Marketing Training  —  Essential to any business growth is marketing and sales.   Sales equal 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.

December 

December is here and another year is coming near the end.  

With all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season I want to take the time to reflect  back on this year.  

As I look back at my blog I see the growth that has happened.  When I started blogging it was random, without a real purpose.

My very first post

 Creating Your Brand is so short, after reading it I have to wonder what was I thinking?

Scrolling on up you will find my atricle titled  A New Era.  This post was written after I turned fifty.  Looking back on personal goals, things that still needed to be achived in my heart and mind.

One of my  favorite articles is Becoming A Power Affiliate Club Expert Author.  The PAC for short, has been a great experiance for me.  I’ve worked hard to win certain contest to become an expert author.

If you’re a blogger then consider checking out this video How PAC ( The Power Affiliate Club) Works For You.  Lesly Federici is one of the co-founders of PAC.  Her mentoring is graceful, caring, kind and firm but loving.  

Another Pac co-founder and expert author is Monna Ellithorpe. She is also an editor and publisher. When I was looking for an editor for my book,  Yes I Wrote A Book it’s called Terror In The North Tower.  A suspensful murder mystery that will have you gripping the edge of your seat!

One of my most proudest moments was being nomintated for the Liebster Award.  This award recognizes up and coming bloggers for their hard work and allows them to gain attraction in the blogging communities.

Another favorite post is Damaging Self Talk.  Looking back on this crazy year in the news is what led me to writing that post.  Please treat each other with kindness and respect.  All Lives Matter!

Last but not least  I want to leave you with images of my family and a few favorite posts from Facebook Connect With Alicia Page


And this is one of favorite pictures of all time.  It’s like God painted a flag of the United States Of America and said, “God Bless America”!

To you and yours may the month of December 2016 bring you much health, happiness and a bright new year.

 As Always  Gain The Advantage,

CARPE DIEM

image

Carpe diem is a Latin aphorism, usually translated as “seize the day”, taken from book 1 of the Roman poet Horace’s work Odes (23 BC).

One of my favorite quotes is “Carpe diem”.
Seizing the most out of every day, every opportunity is important in life.

With network marketing, it is extremely important to take advantage of every opportunity in front of you.
Taking advantage of every opportunity keeps a marketing guru on top of the game.

Eric Worre is best known for his Go Pro book and CD.
I had the chance to see him in person back in Phoenix, Arizona during the Lifevantage Global Convention in
October 2015.

His main focus was teaching those in attendance how to share their story.   Be short and to the point! Don’t take more than two minutes or you lose people’s attention.   Find their pain. What is it about them that makes them want a change in their life?

Take that pain and seize the opportunity to make that next meeting.  Be gentle and follow through on what you say you’re going to do.  If you tell someone,  “I will call you on Saturday at 2:00pm” then do it!

Seizing The Day!

Opportunities are all around us.  The cashier at the store, the waitress or waiter at the restaurant,  your doctor, pharmacist,  lawyer, construction worker, and the list goes on.

Try something new to get yourself out of that comfort zone.   Wear a new color, smell the flowers, text or call that one person you’ve been too afraid to contact.   You never know, they may just be the one gem that shines in your business.

As always,

Gain The Advantage!

Money, Grabbing, Greedy, Monster Suckers they take it all!

Money, Grabbing, Greedy, Monster Suckers they take it all!

Bills, food, rent, a mortgage,  utilities,  entertainment,  clothes,  sports,  and whatever else the money grabbing, greedy, monster suckers feel they can take.

I was so angry thinking today about how much my parents paid for necessities and entertainment  when I was a child in the 1970’s.   My mother had the privilege of being able to stay home to raise me.   A one income family and yet they still seemed to have money for extras in life.

According to In The 70s.com the cost of:
Bread was 0.24, now $2.29.
Gas was 0.40, now $1.95 average
Car’s median purchase price $2,500.00, now $25,000.00
House costs $40,000.00, now $245,000.00
The average income was $8,900.00, now $25,000 – $54,3000 depending on the family incomes.

What needs to change?

image

I have found myself asking this very questions lately.
Are we better off today then we were five,  ten even fifteen years ago?  We were until I lost my great paying job as a Respiratory Therapist and discovered I was burned out after twenty some years in the  field.   I’ve tried other opportunities from selling home security systems to temporary assisgnments from employment agencies.

The loss of one income is hard to handle, let alone families lose two good incomes.  Yes that’s happened!
Now my husband is trying to get disability after working for the City of Aurora for over ninteen years.

Opportunities

I found my opportunity with the only company that is a one of a kind, scientific research breakthrough and it’s changing lives!

People are always going to be septicale about network marketing.   It’s finding the right people that are open to making a trail blazing change in their lives and the lives of their families.

Change Is Good

Why are you working in that job?  Why are you wearing those clothes,  driving the car you do?
Are you satisfied with your life?
Seeking a challenging and rewarding change?

Network marketing paid out over $163,000,000.00 last year!  If that doesn’t spark an interesting conversation I don’t know what will.

Don’t be afraid of changing things because that one change might just lead you to the best things to happen in your life.

Follow

To follow someone or something is defined as:

★ to go or come after or behind (someone or something)

★ to go after or behind (someone) secretly and watch to find out what happens

★ to come after (something) in time or place or as part of a something

Following ■■

We all follow something.  A belief in God, a higher power, other peoples blog sites, social media accounts, a mentor the list goes on.

There are quite a few apps out now that you can download to gain “instant” followers for your social media accounts.   I really looked over the Instagram app and I was about to download it, then I stopped and thought to myself; ” I don’t radomly follow other people’s accounts so why would I  want 300, 400, 500+ people followong following me at random”? 

Something To Ponder ●¤

Think about what and whom you’re following on social media?
Do you follow the trends?  Are you just followingother following other people in social media just because you “downloaded ” an application that your friend told you about?

Are you selective in what and whom you’re following?  I choose who I want to follow and I follow them either because they share a same value, opinion, belief system or business that I am in. 

I would rather have others follow my social sites because they see a value in something that I write about than just following me because of an application that programs it for them.

Has this challenge opened a magical door for me?

That I cannot answer at this time, and I can only hope that what I share with you encourages, uplifts and helps guide you toward success.
