One of the biggest misconceptions when it comes to building a successful business is the idea of finding leaders and superstars to be part of a team. We get frustrated when our team doesn’t have the same level of commitment that we do, and we often go out and try to find the best leaders. Well, the truth is, you can build your business without having a person just like you. You don’t need to magically find leaders. You can help to create them. In this episode, I'm going to share with you how to ...

But, let me tell you this, every single one of us has information that can change someone’s life if we are just willing to share it. In this episode, I am going to challenge you to go out there, share your content, and do a Facebook Live Video. It’s time to break those lies in your mind that tell you that you don’t have something valuable to offer. Don’t let t...

Most of you are probably already using Facebook groups in some way to build your network marketing business. Whether it’s a ‘VIP Customer Group’ or some type of ‘Team Training Group’. The biggest issue that I see happening for people that are running these Groups, is that there is very little to no member engagement. The poor engagement inside the Group usually also means that you’re not seeing much in the way of results. In today’s episode I’m going to give you a blueprint to change that… start...

It’s great to have you on our very first special episode (5-minute Friday). This is a shorter version of our regular podcasts, and this is happening every Friday. Today’s episode is all about the question for leaders: “Are you overwhelming your team?” One of the biggest mistakes that I see leaders making, is overwhelming their team with too many things to do each week when it comes to training. A lot of times it happens gradually over time, and we never even recognize this problem. There’s multi...

We will talk about goal setting from the mindset of someone that is making to look a bigger impact with their network marketing business in 2018 and beyond.

In this episode we will be talking about whether you should be using a Facebook Personal Profile or a Business Page for your network marketing business. This is a hot topic right now in our profession, and I know there are many differing opinions on what you should be doing. One of the reasons this is such a hot topic is because Facebook is starting to crack down on people that are overly promotional and using their profile to sell. As a result, a lot of network marketers are afraid to use their...

In this episode we will be talking about purpose driven prospecting. Many people in network marketing initially struggle with fear and a lack of confidence, which makes it difficult to create deep and meaningful connections with prospects. Here's what makes Purpose Driven Prospecting different... it's sharing WHY you do what you do, before you share WHAT you do, or HOW it's different. Most people in network marketing do the exact opposite. When you learn how to lead with WHY, it becomes a total ...

In this episode I’ll be mixing things up a little bit. I am sharing a recording of a training that I created way back when I first started working on Your Virtual Upline called the Four Mental Enemies of Success. Understanding the philosophies of this business is critical for your success. Unless you change your mindset, there is no amount of “how to’s” that are going to offer a real solution for you. Let’s face it: there are SO many obstacles in this business. However, dealing with these obstac...

In this episode we’re going to talk about possibilities and how to make sure your life is going in direction that you desire. Entrepreneurial people, especially in the network marketing industry, can frequently lose direction and find themselves feeling helpless and hopeless. With the recent arrival of Baby Greyson, I’ve been thinking and reflecting a lot more about the miracle of life. Many people spend their entire lives hoping to hit the lottery; what they don’t realize is that they’ve alread...

In this episode we’re going to be talking about leadership; more specifically, accidental and intentional leadership. Whether you have a team of 1 of 1,000 you have a responsibility to lead. One of the biggest problems I see in network marketing is people falling into the role of an accidental leader. If you lack the necessary leadership skills and ability, your team will never continue to grow. If you want to see your team grow and be successful, you need to start making the shift from being an...

In this episode we’re going to talk about how to make the shift from success to significance in your network marketing business. When most people start their network marketing business, their initial goal is freedom: financial freedom, lifestyle freedom and time freedom. But if you never grow past that and evolve into something more, you will probably find that this will not be enough to fulfill you. Freedom is not enough. Everyone has a WHY: a deep-seated purpose, cause or belief that can be a ...

In this episode we’re going to talk about how to overcome your fear of self-promotion on social media. Almost anyone in network marketing can tell you that putting yourself out there is a vital aspect of the business, but most people struggle with this because they have fear of self-promotion. This fear can come from different places, but we all deal with it. You might ask yourself: “What makes me credible to teach others and share my advice?” Your degree, background, rank, or commission check h...

In this episode, we discuss prospecting on social media. Many network marketers struggle with this task and end up spending hours of time and effort with no results. The number one mistake I see network marketers make while prospecting on social media is putting a business offer into their initial message to a prospect before they even know if they are open to it. It gets even worse when a link is included in that initial message. If you are doing that, you need to stop immediately. So how do we...

In today’s episode, we are talking about mindset. In a previous episode (Episode 24) I’ve covered the same topic, but in this training I go even deeper into the analogy.

Today, my topic is about building a business around your own personal brand. One of the questions that I get the most from people is, "What should I include as a part of my personal brand?"

If that's you, here's the message that I'd like to deliver to you in this episode... stop worrying so much about your personal brand, and just start being yourself! Your personal b...

This episode is about the training I did about the marketing boot camp that held in February this year. My training was about using live video and generating confidence and build powerful connection with the viewers, listeners and the audience through the live video. I refer to this connection as no love and trust. In marketing and sales, there is a common belief that people buy from marketers whom they don’t know. There is no place of love, trust and friendship in a business. However, in the mo...

In this episode we discuss the power of investing into your network, and the relationships that you have in your life, and how that over time can dramatically help your business. One of the biggest reasons why new entrepreneurs struggle early on in their business is because they don't get a ton of support from their close friends and family. The harsh reality many times when this happens, is that they are paying the price of the life that they lived prior to making the decision to start their bu...

In this episode, we have a little bit of fun while we discuss embracing your inner weirdo! What I mean by this is that we need to acknowledge that as entrepreneurs we are not normal. It is not normal for someone to subject themselves to what we must put up with every single day to build a successful business. It’s not normal for someone to spend hours listening to a podcast or attending a training seminar but I want you to acknowledge that this is a really good thing because here’s what I know a...

Today we talk about changing your focus and changing your life! At any moment of our life, we can begin to choose to think differently and empower ourselves. Unfortunately, part of the human condition is to focus on the negative and create pessimistic thoughts within our mind.

Today I want to empower you with strategies to be aware of the cause of this negativity and to consciously make a ...

In this episode we are talk about the fear of leadership. I hope this episode can give you some insight as to why you may be struggling in this area and how to overcome it! In my early days, I used to self-sabotage my business and my results. I never quite understood why I did this and now looking back, it is very clear. To be truthful, I actually didn’t believe I had what it took to be a leader. This was a vicious cycle that I was in for years that was extremely frustrating. The thought of havi...
