Send us a text Selling the network marketing lifestyle was standard practice. In the days when recruiting was our primary driver of business, this made sense. It doesn’t anymore. It actually never should’ve been the case. If we want to move the profession into the digital age, we have yo stop selling the income opportunity and focus on marketing actual products and or services. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity...

Send us a text With so many different online platforms, it can be overwhelming deciding which one to focus your efforts on. And really there’s no right answer. It’s really just a matter of preference. I think this question is really based in the uncertainty of exploring something new. When someone asks this , what I really hear them asking is “Which platform can I actually get results on? Which platform will work for me?” The answer: whichever platform you decide to work. Again, there’s no right...

Send us a text Pre-internet, network marketing was a distribution model. You would purchase products wholesale and retail them out to your customer base. That’s where we get the stories of garages full of water filters and laundry detergent. With the internet and e-commerce, the model shifted because companies could now ship directly to the customers, whom largely were distributors themselves. Because compensation plans were designed to only to reward building a network, the primary function of ...

Send us a text It’s one of the most asked questions: How do you come up with content? Especially given that I release a daily episode. The process is simple really. Mostly it requires you being completely engaged with your creative facilities. Being present with your thoughts and ideas as they come… that’s how I tap into the wellspring of limitless ideas that translate into online content. Everyone has this capacity for creativity. Everyone can tap into it. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook comm...

Send us a text I love the saying, “Leave it all out on the dance floor.” It speaks to the freedom of unabashedly letting go and going all out. It’s a saying that applies to pretty much anything. With you content, I love this because it speaks to giving your best and your all and delivering the highest value possible, no questions. Because there can sometimes be questions. What content should I give away for free on my socials and what content can I save for my paid products? What if I’m giving a...

Send us a text Instagram. It’s been a tough but to crack for me. While I understand that my niche is fairly narrow at times, I still can’t for the life of me figure out why my views numbers are the way they are. This is why perspective is so important. If you’re like me and you’ve diligently posting daily but still been struggling to break through the one hundred or two hundred views barrier, then I want you to think of it this way: Imagine you’re speaking on a stage in front of 20 people.

Send us a text People have been saying for years that Facebook is dead. Before that they said that email is dead. After that, Instagram and then Snapchat after that and so on and so on. Does it make it true? No. As of this writing there are a reported 2.95 BILLION active MONTHLY users on Facebook. By those stats alone, I can conclude that Facebook is not dead. Far from it. The better question then might be: Is Facebook still an effective platform for marketing? It depends on you. And the same go...

Send us a text High achievers, listen up. This was a wake up call that hit me like a ton of bricks. We push ourselves, always to the next outcome working towards the next goal. Higher and higher up the achievement ladder we go. And that ok. However, have you ever stopped and asked yourself what’s really driving you? I was definitely driven by a desire for excellence and continually challenging myself. But underneath that drive was an unconscious unworthiness, buried so deep that it wasn’t until ...

Send us a text There is. But not where you might think. In as volatile and frantic a world as the one we live in, the need to create certainty and stability in your life is a natural reaction. However, it’s a fools errand because it’s actually impossible to achieve certainty externally. It doesn’t exist. You can however cultivate internal certainty. Not to say that you can one hundred percent control your circumstances and the things happening around you. But you can definitely control how you r...

Send us a text Here we go again. The quote that heard across the world is making its way around the internet once again. “Stay close to people who want more for you not from you.” I’ll keep revisiting this and quotes similar to this because I firmly believe that it doesn't really serve the readers… at least not without further context. And that la the problem isn’t it? A catchy quote, however well intentioned, if not thought out thoroughly can gravely miss the mark. This one for example excuses ...

And while I understand the value of niching down, I very much like to talk about a broad range of topics in my content for the simple fact that I have a lot to talk about. Mindset to Marketing — that’s been my tagline on my daily lives I’ve been doing on Facebook. And really it’s as accurate a description as I can come up with. And it’s not that these topics are mutually exclusive. In fact...

Send us a text Imposter syndrome. We all experience it to some degree or another. And it can happen many times through the course of your career. I’m actually feeling imposter syndrome to varying degrees as I expand into new fields this year. But why does this happen? What at is at the root of this potentially crippling fear? Comparison. It’s really that simple. We, often unconsciously, compare ourselves to what we perceive as others succeeding at the thing we’re trying to do. And then we tell o...

Send us a text We all have routines. Morning routines, routines at work, routines for getting ready for bed. Routines are important and help us get stuff done, especially as packed and busy our lives can be. Routines help us keep order in what otherwise could be a very chaotic life. When routines are imbued with emotion, when there there’s an emotional attachment, it then becomes ritual, and here’s where we can get into trouble. If our emotional stability is anchored to a routine (i.e. it’s beco...

In this episode I share my opinion on whether all content will be A.I. generated in the future.

Send us a text Outsourcing has been on my mind lately. As my content output increases and my project roster fills up, demands on my time will make outsourcing a necessity. But when should I do it? For me it’s a simple answer. Largely because this is as much a learning journey as it is to build a business and brand, I will only outsource when I feel I’ve reached a proficiency in the task I’m considering outsourcing. I want to learn how to do a thing thoroughly before outsourcing it so I know what...

Send us a text Here’s the crux of self-education, especially in the internet age: consuming information does not equate to education. If you’re like me, you grew up in an education system that rewarded regurgitation of information. So it’s no wonder that we approach self-education, especially with the access the internet gives us to said information, the same way. Heck, there’s even a saying that “knowledge is POWER”! No it’s not. Just knowing things doesn’t amount to learning. Just consuming in...

Send us a text I’m a firm believer in self-education, especially for entrepreneurs. Once “formal” education is completed, many make the assumption that learning is done but that’s obviously not true. We can and should continue to learn til we the day we can’t! This means, after schooling is done, education is largely going to be our own responsibility. Thank the Force for the internet!😆 Some of the best free education I’ve gotten in the past year has come from podcasts. Hands down my favorite f...

Send us a text Going into the launch of my first masterclass, I was a bag of mixed emotions. Excitement and fear, enthusiasm and doubt. Now that the class is done, I’m no less a bag of mixed emotions — except this time, all positive. Did it go perfectly? Far from it. And besides, there’s no such thing right? It went the way it was meant to and I couldn’t be any happier about that. From a numbers standpoint, the registration was more than I had ever hoped for, especially given that I did no paid ...

The impact of your message rests on your ability to communicate. So make sure you work to continually improve your presence and communication skills so that your message lands with your audience. Yes it’ll take time and lots of repetition. But as long as you’re willing to put in the work, you’ll develop the skill needed to communicate your messa...

A good indication that you’re not challenging yourself enough is if the results and outcomes in your life aren’t growing, aren’t expanding.

I’ve heard it said that employees work only just enough to not get fired and employers only pay just enough to people not to quit. That’s a pretty sad state if you ask me.

Send us a text During a recent Facebook LIVE I was asked the question, “What’s your opinion on ethical manipulation ?” I was baffled. I hadn’t actually ever heard of the term before and I didn’t even think those two words could be used together. Manipulation is taking away someone’s choice while making them think they still have one and then having them do something they otherwise wouldn’t — all for personal gain. So what can be ethical about that? If you ask me, NOTHING. In my opinion, there is...
