Unforgettable people speak in terms of vision.

Its about what they can see. They don’t use statistics to make their point, they use vivid imagination. They paint the picture of a world that others can’t imagine, and they share their vision with words.

Being a great communicator requires two distinct qualities:

• Optimism – Can look beyond any current situation to imagine a better time. When will that time come into being? How will it happen? Those are just mere details.
• Simple words – He puts that shared vision into simple words that everyone can understand. It does help to use language that can be clearly be understood by a truck driver and a scientist.

John F Kennedy in 1961 said “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country“.
Why was this unforgettable? why was he unforgettable? Kennedy did not ask us to follow, nor did he ask us to lead.  He challenged us to serve.

Truly inspiring and unforgettable people are driven to serve others, thus earning a good leader the loyalty and respect of those who ultimately serve them back. For people to be unforgettable, they need a following. Why should any individuals want to follow another individual unless they feel that person would serve them and their interests?

Intelligence beyond Intellect :  Intuition

For many people who have made themselves unforgettable, intuition has always been a basic element of their success.

Intuition had played an important role in forming Walt Disney company to what it is today. When Walt Disney drew his first cartoon mouse, he wanted to call that mouse Mortimer. That didn’t sound right to his wife and she suggested changing it to Mickey.  Was it a well thought out decision why she preferred Mickey?  Probably not. Was a marketing survey done to see which name the public preferred?  No, because marketing surveys didn’t exist at that time and Walt could not afford it anyways. But Mortimer was changed to Mickey and the rest you know…is history. It all happened because of a hunch on the part of Walt Disney’s wife.

We all have flashes of intuition, but we ignore or distrust them as irrational and useless distractions. Intuition is not just a party game, its a unique form of personal power that deserves your attention.

There is a difference between ignoring your intuitive powers and trusting them blindly.  If you like to learn what these differences are

900 Million active users on Facebook as of Jan 2012!

Almost all business owners in every industry out there today want to improve on their facebook marketing strategies. But the real question is how can you market like a pro and stand out from the rest of the crowd ?

I am going to get in to the fine details of what makes real people on facebook pay attention to you, follow you and inevitably BUY from you. When you know this, you don’t even need to know half of the technical stuff.

Lets dive into some basic facebook marketing tips:

• Profile pictures matter. The site feature that attracted most attention on Klout, Facebook and StumbleUpon was the profile photo. Put your own photo sharply dressed, not your dog’s photo, not your kid’s photos. I always ask my new friend requests (who don’t have a good photo) to add their photo or else they will be ignored and will be out of my network.
• Who you know gets noticed. Even if for no better reason than their placement on the page, people do look at those little thumbnails of friends that appear on your profile. A lot can be told about you by the friend circle you keep. I can instantly sum up the character of the person on facebook by looking at their friends list.
• Content on top wins. The further something is down a page, the fewer number of people look at it. This was true on both content-focused profiles such as Pinterest and Digg as well as socially focused profiles such as Facebook. On the Twitter and YouTube profiles, the effect was similar.
• It’s rapport / relationships first. Use Facebook to connect with people whether through your fan page, friends list, or by interacting on their pages/profiles. Work on being the least needy network marketer out there and you’re already miles ahead of the pack.  When you meet some new people at your friend’s party, do you instantly dish out your business cards?  No. You get to know them, chit chat a little and then if your conversation goes towards business you give them your card. There’s nothing that screams out “I NEED TO GET YOU” more than someone who posts links to their MLM or products on their wall all day long. Refer to my older post on Monetizing Social Media.
• Be Human. We want to see the raw human stuff and relate to it (or laugh at it). I’m always sharing events of my life with my fans. It’s what makes me real and helps me to stand out from the crowd. And often it’s the silliest things that get me a ton of messages, friend requests, likes and shares. Use Facebook as a platform to be more of you and to get people curious. Be natural in facebook marketing, blend in.
• Create your Fan Page. Facebook has something known as Pages for businesses, which allows you to promote, market, sell and brand your business / products. You can create a new page by clicking here – http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php  and in our industry you want to go to the section where it says “Artist, Band or Public Figure” and select “Business Person“.  For example see my Fan Page. Everything you post and share on your page should for the most part be public or open to all. So you must also be very careful what type of content you post here. Your posts can be made private but then it defies the purpose of a fan page. You want to be able to create a large group of followers on your fan page and let the viral nature of facebook help it grow. People have to click on LIKE on your fan page to join in.
• Create Groups. Facebook groups are a great way to create small communities with your special fans or team members, even to use as incentives for buying a product through you or joining your team. You can set up a closed group by going to Facebook Groups (http://facebook.com/groups) and invite your chosen people to it. This is a great way to have a more personal relationship with your followers and create a win-win situation. Make sure its a closed environment if you plan to share your mlm products/testimonials, etc.
• Set up a private syndication group for members of your team – they get their content seen by more people and you create a tight-knit group of loyal followers.
• Use a Facebook closed group to share your results with buyers of a product and answer their questions. Often other members will answer questions too making the load lighter on you. This can be a great way to ensure people stay subscribed or even upgrade their service.
• Set a challenge for your team and create an ‘elite’ group where people get to know about upcoming promotions or products before anyone else for anyone that reaches their goal.
• You can post videos in groups which will allow only members to have access, great for sharing private training.
• You can make groups entirely secret so no one can see the content or members, or completely open for anyone to see. Lots of flexibility means you can create groups for all kinds of topics.
• Turn on your notifications for the groups you create so that you stay in the loop, and be sure to reply to anyone in there so that you really connect with the community you are building. Post at least once per day in all your groups/pages to keep them growing and flowing with conversations.
• Attractive and Curious.  This is a great facebook marketing tip – If you learn how to simply make people attracted to what you are doing on Facebook, there’s no need to go stuffing sign up links in their inbox, you don’t have to chase them away. They’ll want to find out more about you when they get curious about what it is you do, and how you are just so darn cool. That’s why you must ALWAYS have a good info page for both your personal profile and fan page so that people can find their own way to your website and email list. Now of course, if it comes up in conversation, that’s a different matter. I learned in the beginning to always play it cool if someone says they are looking for something I have to offer and just say something like “If you’d like a link to it, just let me know” instead of suddenly going in to a big speech about what I do and how they can sign up. It’s shows you’re not needy and it keeps them curious. I don’t think I’ve ever had someone that hasn’t said “Yes please, that would be great!”.
• Lead with content and value first. Lead people with outstanding value first, and reap the rewards second. Think of what your fans need from you and strive to deliver it daily. Ask thought-provoking questions that start discussions, post your latest blog content and videos, hold free Q&A webinars for your fans to participate in, answer every question that is posted on your wall and interact with everyone that takes the time to come to your page. Make them feel like they are getting something out of the relationship first, and then you will start to see the results second.
• Work on Network. So many people still think that Facebook marketing is just about numbers and masses and that they don’t really need to have any one-to-one contact with people. Facebook is a TOOL which is great for networking – but you are going to have to get comfortable with having conversations with people if you want to be successful. In fact the whole aim of Facebook marketing is to have an inbox full to the brim of people asking about how they can work with you, or asking you for help (hint, any time someone asks you for help it’s an excellent time to check if they are happy where they are or if they need to start a new business). If you don’t respond when someone actually sends you a message, you are throwing away prospects and income.
• Commenting on other fan pages with the “Use Facebook as Page” feature you will see on the right hand side of your fan page. This way when people click on your image they will go to your fan page, not your profile. Leave interesting, thoughtful comments and people will check you out and become fans.
• On blogs with Facebook comments activated you can choose to post as your page instead of your profile, again this will mean that people will be led to your fan page if they click on your name.
• Add friends from relevant groups and fan pages and start conversations with them. This is something I did a lot of when I first started to really get my name out there and start making connections. At the end of each day I would check to see who was on Facebook chat and strike up some conversations. You can also use the inbox system – and the great thing is that Facebook saves your chat history so you never have to worry about forgetting what you last talked about with someone.
• Wish Happy Birthday to your facebook friends on their birthday. Its a great conversation starter and people love being greeted on their birthday. Everyday you can go to this link to find out who’s birthday is it today: http://www.facebook.com/events/birthdays/
• Facebook pay per click advertising is a great way to get targeted fans to come to you and start generating leads for your business. It’s relatively easy to get set up and to get cheap leads if you start of sensible and go in with a ‘testing’ mindset. Personally, I’ve generated leads for as little as 30c using Facebook ppc, as well as using it to build my fan base too.
• Allow your fans to post valuable content on your fan page. When someone interacts on your page, it shows on their Facebook profile AND possibly the news feed of all their friends, therefor increasing Facebook fans. This is SO powerful and helps make your fan page grow by itself. Allow your fans to post valuable content, thank them, like their content, share it if it’s good. Give LOVE to your fans and it will return to you in FLOODS. That’s smart facebook marketing.
• Use tagging sensibly. There are great ways to use tagging and there are TERRIBLE ways to use it that will just hurt your reputation and make you look like a fool. Think of the win-win in every situation. For example, if you just made a video promoting your blog and then tagged some people you knew in it – where’s the win for them? Why would they keep it up on their page and send their friends/fans to it? Chances are they will delete the tag and think that you’re a bit of a fool.  But, imagine you just read this fantastic article and you wanted to get a little exposure for yourself too. Well there’s nothing wrong with writing a little testimonial type update and tagging myself in it…and YOU get a little link back to your fan page (from my busy page) giving you some exposure. That’s a smart way to use tagging and also a great way for showing leaders that you appreciate what they do. Which leads me to my next point about facebook marketing …
• Connect with leaders in your Line Of Sponsorship. The funny thing about Facebook is, everyone is on it and most people are hooked just like any human being. It doesn’t matter if they are famous, make $100 or $50k or $10k a month, are loved or hated – anyone with a Facebook account has the same features as all of us and communicates with others in the same way – via their wall, fan page and inbox/chat.
• Now, some people like Robert Kiyosaki and Richard Branson have social media managers but for most people in our industry, even those with personal assistants, they do the majority of their Facebook marketing themselves as it’s such a personal thing. This is great news for you. This means you can reach out to anyone on Facebook and have a real chance of getting a reply from them – and better yet, starting a real relationship. I’ve connected with so many others via Facebook. A simple message and friend request is all that you need to get started, and over time by commenting on others posts, sharing and messaging those relationships become real friendships. You will never know how it will turn out and you can’t go in it thinking “what’s in it for me”. You will learn so much by being connected with industry leaders and further down the line who knows what will happen – business partners, webinars, guest blogging, testimonials are all possible but only when you build a true relationship first and see what you can do to help the other person before yourself.
• Show people you are here to stay. When I was starting out and looking for strong leaders to learn from, I looked at how consistent they were in their actions. It wasn’t something I did on purpose but think about it – if someone is forever jumping around, vanishing for weeks at a time or promoting something different every day then it doesn’t look like they know what they’re doing and more importantly it doesn’t look like what they are doing WORKS. By being consistent in your actions, not only do you show people you are here to stay, but you show them that you have a plan that works and that you are serious about your business. I make sure I check in to Facebook at least once day to reply to people, update my page and profile and post in my groups. Use Facebook to give people the reassurance that you are always around to support your people.
• Learn about PEOPLE. At the end of the day, you are in a PEOPLE Business. Sure, I could give you a million technical-type tricks for building a flashier Facebook page or to get more people clicking your links but remember that Facebook is just a tool for connecting with people all over the world. If you learn how humans behave you can apply it to all the Facebook marketing tips we’ve discussed in this article. A few of my favorite books that will help you learn real useable techniques for attracting a crowd are – “How to win friends and influence people” and “Make Yourself Unforgettable” by Dale Carnegie, “The Friendship Factor” by Alan Loy Mcginnis.

Why NUTRILITE?

No Other Supplement Compares to NUTRILITE ..

..Because No Other Supplement is Created Like NUTRILITE

The world’s leader, the industry’s finest. Nutrilite is more than just a leader in the nutritional industry-we are a pioneer. Infact, we were the first to formulate, produce and sell a multivitamin/mineral product in North America. And from the very beginning, we recognized that whole-plant compounds offered the widest array of nutrients. So it is only natural that our formulations are based on concentrates made from whole plant sources.

We have been growing for over 75 years. NUTRILITE is the only global vitamins and mineral brand to grow, harvest, and process plants on their own certified organic farms. This level of control is rare these days. Yet it exemplifies the extra care and attention you will find throughout our entire formulation process.

We have countless operations, but only one standard. From seed to final vitamins, Nutrilite controls every phase of the production process. Take a close look at this unbroken chain of quality and you will see that we meet or exceed the industry’s Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) in every operation that we perform.

The best of science. In the field of nutrition, there are leaders and there are followers. And one of the key areas where these two groups diverge is scientific research. Here, Nutrilite shines. NUTRILITE products are supported by scores of scientists, microbiologists, chemists, pharmacists, nutritionists and other technicians. Together, these talented minds conduct research on everything from new plant varieties to the role that nutrition plays in human health.

Everything nature intended. NUTRILITE provides the phytonutrients in its multi vitamins that are vital to good health because NUTRILITE creates nutritional concentrates made from whole plants. We believe this is nutrition the way nature intended.

The word Ego has reference to all the factors of one’s personality.

Ego is subject to development, guidance and control through voluntary habits — habits which are deliberately and purposely developed.

A great philosopher who devoted his entire life to the study of human body and the mind, provided us with a practical foundation for the study of the ego when he stated:
“Your body, whether living or dead, is a collection of millions of little energies that can never die. These energies are separate and individual and at times they act in some degree of harmony.”
“The human body is a drifting mechanism of life, capable but not accustomed to control the forces within, except as habit, will, cultivation or special excitement(through emotion) may marshal these forces to the accomplishment of some important end.”

This power of marshaling and using these energies can be cultivated to a high degree in every person.

The air, sunlight, food and water you take are agents of a force which comes from the sky and earth. Most people idly float upon the tide of circumstances to make up their day’s life,.. and the opportunities of becoming something better are drifted beyond their reach and pass away.

The dividing line between success and failure is found at the stage where aimless drifting ceases. (Where Definiteness of Purpose begins).

If you sit down and think for a while, you will be surprised to know how much of you life has been a mere drift. Look at any created life, and see its efforts to express itself. The tree sends its branches towards the sunlight, struggles through its leaves to inhale air, and even underground sends forth its roots in search of water and minerals it needs for food. This you call inanimate life, but it represents a force that comes from some source and operates for some purpose.

There is no place on the globe where energy is not found.

The air is also loaded with it. In the cold north when the sky shines in boreal rays, and wherever the frigid temperature yields to the warmth, the electric conditions may alarm man.
Water is but a liquid union of gases and is charged with electrical, mechanical and chemical energies, any one of which is capable of doing great service and great damage to man. Even Ice in its coldest phase, has energy. Its force has broken mountain rocks into fragments.
This energy about us we are drinking in water, eating in food, and breathing in air. Not a chemical molecule is free from it, nor an atom can exist without it. We are a combination of individual energies.

Man Has Two Forces – Tangible and Intangible

Tangible – In the form of his physical body with its myriad of  individual cells numbering billions, each of which is endowed with intelligence and energy

Intangible – In the form of an Ego -  the organized dictator of the body which may control man’s thoughts and deeds.

Science teaches us the tangible portion of a man worth only a minimum wage by itself.  Add to this tangible portion a well developed and properly organized and controlled Ego, and it will be worth any price the owner sets  upon them.  The Ego is a power that cannot be purchased at any price, but it can be developed and shaped to fit any desired pattern.  Its development takes place through organized habits which are made permanent by the law of Cosmic Habitforce, which carries out the thought-patterns one develops through controlled thought.

One of the major differences between men who make valuable contributions to mankind and those who merely take up space in the world, is mainly a difference in egos, because the ego is the driving force behind all forms of human action.

Liberty and Freedom of body and mind -

These 2 major desires of all people are available in exact proportion to the development and use one makes of the ego. Everyone who has properly related himself to his own ego has both – Liberty and Freedom in whatever proportions he  desires.  A man’s ego determines the manner in which he relates himself to all other people. Ego is man’s greatest asset or his greatest liability. The ego is the sum total of one’s thought habits which have been fastened upon him through the automatic operation of the law of cosmic habitforce.

Every highly successful person possesses a well-developed and highly disciplined ego. Another factor associated with the ego is Self-Control which determines its potency for good or evil.  Self-Control allows you to transmute its power into any desired purpose.

There are 2 ways of relating one’s self to life: One is that of playing horse while life rides. The other is that of becoming the rider while life plays horse.
The choice as to whether one becomes the horse or the rider is the privilege of every person, but this much is certain – If one does not choose to become the rider of life, he is sure to be forced to become the horse…

Why Effective Communication ?

If you want to lead a large organization, you have to know that there are three parts to face-to-face communications

– sometimes called the 3 V’s – and these three elements determine how much a receiver “likes” the speaker:

Visual, or body and facial expressions, accounting for 55% of the liking
Vocal, or tone of voice, accounting for 38% of the liking
Verbal, or words, accounting for 7% of the liking
If you take these figures on face value alone, it suggests that the receiver overwhelmingly trusts the non-verbal aspects of the speaker – 93% vs 7% – or, that the facial/body/tone components are “more important” than the actual words.

When you are talking to prospects or any one else , watch out for the 93% of your effective communication!!!

 

It is not what you say but how you say it!!!!
Our voice is a tool, and if used effectively, is one of the most powerful in our toolbox.

Just as important as what we say, however, is how we say it – the tone of our voice is part of that.

If our tone conveys an undercurrent of anger or frustration, sounds distracted or preoccupied, or is heavy with sarcasms, it will influence how others hear what we are saying and how they interpret our message. A misinterpretation, based on our tone, will garble the message, at best, or lead to a giant misunderstanding. Misunderstandings in our workplace can be the downfall of a team, lead to unnecessary expenses, or create a hostile work environment.

On the telephone, it is even more vital to watch the tone in our voice. A listener can’t see our face, or watch our body language, so all they have to go on are our words and our tone. We need to make sure the two are in harmony for the most effective communication.

How can we guard against that tone? If you feel it creeping into your voice, slow down or stop, take a deep breath, and start again. Or, if you realize ,after the fact, that your tone may have garbled your message, make amends by apologizing for sending out a mixed message, clarify it, and then move forward.

Let’s work on keeping our message and tone congruent, and on becoming the best communicator possible.

Next time your phone rings, first pause, then smile and then say HELLO !!!!

All this contributes to your Effective Communication.

Fortunately in our business, we can coach you about the 3 V’s of effective communication..

Our Habits are inseparably related to our ego.

There are 2 ways of relating one’s self to life: One is that of playing horse while life rides. The other is that of becoming the rider while life plays horse.

The choice as to whether one becomes the horse or the rider is the privilege of every person, but this much is certain – If one does not choose to become the rider of life, he is sure to be forced to become the horse…

…Life either rides or is ridden. It never stands still.

Everyone knows that practically everything we do, from the time we begin to walk is the result of Habits.
Walking and talking are habits, Our manner of eating and drinking is a habit, our sex activities are the results of habit.
Our relationships with others, positive or negative are the results of habits.

But few people understand why or how we form habits

Habits are inseparably related to the human ego.

Ego is the medium through which faith and all other states of mind operate.

Throughout this philosophy great emphasis has been placed upon the distinction between passive faith and active faith. The Ego is the medium of expression of all action. Therefore we must know something of its nature and possibilities in order that we may make the best use of it.  We should learn how to stimulate the Ego into action and how to control and guide it to the attainment of your purpose.

Above all we must disabuse our minds of the popular error of believing the ego to be only a medium for expression of vanity.

The word “Ego” is of Latin origin, and it means “I”.

But it also connotes a driving force which may be organized and made to serve as the medium for translating desire into faith, through action.

Why is all this important to you in Business ?

Business means networking and meeting new people, developing a team and a big organization.  None of that can happen if your Ego and Habits drive people away from you.. Duh!

There are 2 ways of relating one’s self to life: One is that of playing horse while life rides. The other is that of becoming the rider while life plays horse.
The choice as to whether one becomes the horse or the rider is the privilege of every person, but this much is certain – If one does not choose to become the rider of life, he is sure to be forced to become the horse…

Here is the article I was talking about yesterday to my friend and wanted to share it with all of you. It describes what different net worths from $1 Billion down to $2 Million can get someone in America – in terms of lifestyle and cash-flow….made us feel really broke…;( ……till we go Diamond, EDC, Double…:)

Most of us will never make The Forbes 400 list, of course. A billion dollars, even in Ben Bernanke bucks, is still a high bar-
-a gold standard of gold.

Consider this: There are more Olympic athletes, baseball players on Major League rosters, professional symphony musicians in large cities and doctors who perform organ transplants than there are members of  The Forbes 400.

Short of $1 billion, what net worth would make you happy?

Let’s work our way down from a billion.

Half a billion is only halfway to The Forbes 400, but you get most of a billionaire’s perks and a lot more anonymity. It’s a
nice number, $500 million. It will keep you in several homes in great places–New York, Aspen and Maui, say–and fund a
mid-size private jet like a Citation X to get you there. I’d really, really like to be worth $500 million.

Descend to a net worth of a mere $100 million

The bottom of the nine figure club..

That’s because $100 million is really a tween-er number: You can be Richie Rich among your upper-middle-class friends
or a hanger-on in the super-rich crowd. Choose the latter and prepare to have your ego smashed. You’d surely have to
give up the Aspen and Maui homes or replace the Citation X with a fractional jet-ownership. Personally, I’d keep the jet
and sell the extra homes. The Hotel Jerome in Aspen is quite lovely.

Fifty million dollars

..is a very common net worth in Silicon Valley.

These anonymous rich get there by being part of a founding team–e.g., the chief technology officer but not the CEO–of a tech startup sold to Google for $2 billion.
The $50 million crowd typically owns a $5 million house–that’s only 4,000 square feet on one acre in Atherton or Los Altos
Hills–and a $2 million vacation place near, but not on, Lake Tahoe. They might own a golf membership or two at fancy
clubs, costing $300,000 each, or perhaps sail around the world in their Hunter 50 cruising yacht or fly around the world in
their Pilatus PC-12 turboprop. And now and then they make angel investments in technology start-ups.

The word “millionaire” gained popular currency a century ago.

A million dollars then would be about $20 million today, which is, interestingly, $1 million a year at a 5% after tax return. That’s right: You need $1 million a year to be a millionaire
in the original meaning of the word. I really do like that number, $20 million. For most lawyers, commercial real estate
brokers and CFOs–smart people who work for preexisting firms–$20 million is a good number to shoot for. The long climb
up the slippery pole is worth it for $20 million.

But $10 million ain’t so bad, either.

Commonplace in New York, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles and San Francisco,
a ten-bagger net worth makes you minor royalty in most other towns across the U.S. Ten million bucks is the heart
surgeon who got divorced only once or the car dealer who lives in the big house at the end of the street, owns a nice
summer home on the lake and always has a shiny Cadillac Escalade. The local charities and IRS auditors will certainly
find you after you hit eight figures.

Just the same, $5 million is nothing to sneeze at.

A lot of Americans who’d expected to be worth $5 million are no closer to it in 2011 than they were in 2001. However, they’re ten years older and a bit worried. Five million, free and clear and invested at 5% (after tax), buys an upper-middle-class life of good health care, a club membership, a wine collection, a BMW 3 Series convertible and a couple of vacations per year. Albeit, this is true only if the house is paid off and the kids are finished with college. If not, you’d better keep your day job, in addition to your $5 million.

Two million bucks

..is the great dividing line between middle-class comfort and worry in America right now.

That $2 million is $100,000 in income, if you base it on an after tax 5%. It’s also the battle line for state and local pensions. That’s because a pension income of $100,000–common for police and firefighters in big states–assumes a $2 million (or greater) portfolio
at today’s low interest rates. The $2 million portfolio isn’t actually there, of course. It’s only assumed, which is to say
fabricated and unfunded. Therefore, it must be taxed from today’s workforce. The tax debate roiling the country boils down
to who is more deserving of the $2 million–those trying to earn and save it versus those who depend on the promises of
fools
