How do I find people for my Network Marketing business? How do I share what I am doing in a way that feels authentic and not "salesy?"
These are two questions I had myself; and now have answered for decades!
My short answer - you don't find them; you let them find YOU.
And, here is how!
In 1999, after attending an internet seminar, I saw some genuine potential in using online methods as a tool to "reverse roles" and allow those people who were interested in a home business to find me, and let me know they wanted to know more.
So, I decided to give this “Internet thingie” a go, and build a web presence, and ultimately a business online.
Lots of people lined up to tell me I was crazy; I wouldn’t be successful; it couldn’t be done. I calmly put my blinders and ear muffs on and got busy proving them wrong.

Life really is a journey, isn’t it?
And, the fun and the fear of it is figuring ourselves out along the way.
125 days ago, I discovered the App - Insight Timer
Have you heard of it?
Do you use it?
They title themselves - #1 app for sleep, anxiety and stress.
They are SO much more than that, though.
Insight Timer has guided meditations; live yoga classes; Affirmations and talks, music and more designed to be a boost to your thoughts, feelings and actions.
And, if you know me, you know I am ALL ABOUT:
Thoughts, Feelings and Actions
The first two, thoughts and feelings, drive ALL of human behavior - Actions.
A few weeks ago, while playing around on the Insight Timer App, I found a link to apply to become a “teacher” or a guide on the platform.
This REALLY intrigued me.
It intrigued me because as much as I LOVE coaching on...
We tend to think of dating as what we do for a romantic partner. But, what if we shifted how we think of our prospects and becoming attractive to those in and around our business?
Let's talk about first date magic for network marketers; are you dating your prospects. So when we think of dating.
Courting.
Becoming attractive.
Getting noticed.
Mr Google says:
You are actively getting out there and meeting people and spending time with them. “Dating someone” means you're seeing somebody specific, with purpose and on a regular basis. ... You're spending time with a person (or persons) in hopes of finding a committed relationship.
Think about this with regard to the relationships you build in your business.
Clients.
Customers
Team Partners.
Ambassadors for you.
Most people flounder and fail in their attempt to...
Here’s what my clients tell me, and I get it. Almost on the daily, they stare at their screen, spinning their wheels trying to figure out what to share on social media to create SOMETHING - a like, a comment, some interest, a Direct Message, maybe, and wow, a sale or signup would be nice.
Right? Is this you?
You ponder, write, edit, delete, and repeat.
And nothing ever gets out there. Or, at least not consistently and not content that pulls people to you.
And, you HATE how overwhelming and time consuming it is for you.
You’ve purchased content calendars to give you prompts, and you start, then stop because it's starting to feel so…forced, so generic, so stale, even.
You’ve probably even fallen into the trap of copying someone else’s content, maybe your upline or someone in your company, because it worked for them; it inspired you,...
How I discovered it, what I did with that when I lost my why how I got it back and where I am today.
When I started my network marketing journey, maybe, much like you I was asked by my upline and told in my training to "write down my why..."
I started to work on my "why!"
But the reality of it is, I was very confused about what that really meant. What's my why?
When I started my network marketing business, I just wanted to make a lot of money. I wanted to create lifestyle freedom. I wanted to create time freedom.
I wanted to stop looking at the cost of everything before making decisions.
Most of all I wanted to make sure that I could stay home full time with my children. That was absolutely my top my number one goal.
My guess is you can probably relate to the idea of having more money, creating more money in your life. So that was a big part of it.
When I first started my network marketing career, my husband...
Social media isn’t selling. It requires you to be SOCIAL.
Posting with the “Spray and Pray” process does NOT work.
Do you know the best way to get others interested in you? Be interested in them. TRULY engaged and interested.
Are you liking, and more importantly commenting in an engaging way, and having real conversations with people you enjoy talking to; and who might be a perfect fit for you.
Be real, be you, and don’t be graspy and loaded with an agenda in your conversations.
Just connect and get to know people.
Pick 10 people a day to engage with. Track it.
Be consistent. They will begin to see your posts.
This is how the algorithm works. Engage with them first. Get on their radar as well as Instagram or Facebook.
Try it for a month and let me know how it goes....
New year, new thoughts, new hopes and dreams. So, what is it about goals and goal setting that deserves our time and attention?And, why can this very thought and process derail us?
THAT is today’s show topic!
It’s human nature to always have hope, possibility, and expect the potential of what might be!
I want to dive into goals, goal setting, the fears we have around this process, and what we really must know about goals.
One of my favorite quotes is by Jim Rohn, on goals -
The true power and success in setting a goal is the transformation, growth and learning you accomplish on the way to achieving it.
We covered this on last week’s show, on Success Planning.
The challenge with most goal setting.
Random thought of what we want.
No true planning before.
No planning for actually achieving it.
And, 365 days stretching ahead of us.
The...
I hear you, you are ready to kick 2020 to the curb and have so much more in 2021?
So, let’s do it.
1st, Create a crystal clear vision for your business and the lifestyle you want to create through your business. The why is the most important part of the whole equation. It doesn’t matter what type of entrepreneur you study - real estate, internet marketer, network marketer, inventor, author/speaker - and so on - the key elements to success are the same. Your back ground and your past history and experiences also have NOTHING to do with your ability to have success, so get over it. If you are allowing these things to interfere, you are doing this by CHOICE and not by chance. Most of the time, it’s a crutch we hold onto for some reason.
2nd, know your plan - I mean it this time. Write out your daily marketing plan and do it. Take steps daily, and invest in your education, refuse...

More than just a random "Feel good" process.
More than just choosing a word that we think is cool.
Goals, resolutions and frustration is often what happens at the beginning of the year.
This year, let’s get intentional with our planning, choose a focus word and create a REAL breakthrough.
Most often, we are random with the goals we set and then have no real plan to get us there.
Each year, in the last 2 months of the year, I begin to pay attention to words that come to mind for me when I am doing my daily thought download.
I wanted to be very intentional about this process.
So, when a word strikes me, I would add it to the jar.
There are some words in there multiple times, and some just once.
Then, on the 30th or 31st of December, I say a prayer, ask for the right word to find me, and I reach into the jar and grab it!
For 2021 - my word is Resilience.
I also share in the video my other words, for 2018,...
