Today is all about FOCUS

It is so easy to lose focus, especially this time of the year.  We are bombarded with advertising both online and offline.  Whether it is in our email, our actual mail boxes, phone promotions, or even store flyers...It all looks great but it takes away our Focus.  Stores promising us the lowest prices, emails promising us instant success, and with each thing we move one step away from what we should be doing.  FOCUS!  Put on your blinders if you must but if you want to succeed you have to FOCUS!

F - follow
O - on
C - course
U - until
S - success

Each time you wander off to facebook, or even go down a different aisle at the store you are
losing FOCUS!  When you click on those enticing ads in your email promising you a whole new world you are losing FOCUS!

If you try to master 20 different types of advertising - you are losing FOCUS!

Are you hearing me?  DON'T LOSE FOCUS!

Giving My TE a new lease on life

This is about advertising.  There are several forms of advertising.  Free or paid, solo ads, text ads, ppc, traffic exchanges. . .

Traffic Exchanges - yes I own one, and as I mentioned in a previous post they have turned from being a good source of free advertising to becoming a big waste of time if you are serious about the business you are trying to advertise.  So, as of January 1st 2014 I am going to do the unthinkable in the traffic exchange world.  In Magic Garden Surf there will be no advertising allowed for  other traffic exchanges.  I am reminded of an old saying,  but I will reword it just a bit.  Does Macy's let Bloomingdale's advertise in their store?  I think not!

MGS will be a traffic exchange where you can view adds for other opportunities advertised by either the owner of that opportunity, or by affiliates of that opportunity.  You can come and view other opportunities and build up credits to show your own opportunity or affiliate page.  More info to follow but I have just deleted over 250 members from the site.  I am going back to the basic reason that traffic exchanges were invented.  Not for people to earn pennies by clicking all day and not by other traffic exchanges to have their members advertise for them.

January 1st it all changes, hopefully other exchanges will follow!

Being thankful

The turkey dinner is great and I love to cook.  Thanksgiving means much more to me than just the cranberry sauce, home made sausage stuffing, green bean casserole, and of course the pumpkin and apple pies.  It is a time to be with family, to share an unhurried day with your loved ones.  It can mean helping a family have that turkey dinner that they wouldn't be able to afford on their own.  It means being thankful for what you have... family, friends, health, happiness, comforts.  Being thankful is what it is all about and giving others something to be thankful for.  Hope, a smile, a meal, a warm coat, but on top of that,  something that can change their lives.  Show them, teach them, help them.  If you have been reading my blog you have the tool.  Go out there and give another family something to be thankful for.

Are you a Prepper?

Even if you are not a prepper I am sure you know one or two.  With the gift giving season soon approaching you might be wondering what you can get those preppers as gifts.  Some canned food?  Swiss Army Knife?  A case of Duct Tape?  What about some gold?  The looming economic crash is real and although it might not buy your way out of a zombie attack it sure will come in handy when the paper dollar is worthless and you need something to barter with.  Gold is the oldest money dating back thousands of years and will always retain value.  Karatbars recognizes the need for gold in the times ahead and has issued a great card.  It contains 1 gram of 999.9 24K LBMA stamped gold in a laminated card the size of a typical credit card.  For more info about Karatbars, its products, and its affiliate plan please visit http://tinyurl.com/k9v4luh

Your comfort zone will hold you back

I have written several times here and when coaching people that we all need to step out of our comfort zone a bit if we want to move ahead.  Take baby steps if you must but just do it.  This month I am practicing what I have been preaching.  I got out there and met new people.  I was on the other side of the camera, actually in the picture. Now I am working on a video.  It won't win me any rewards but it will be me.  Isn't that what people really want to see anyway?  There won't be any yachts or mansions.  No need for hype or pretense.  Approaching 60 I am no beauty queen but I am comfortable with my inner self and I believe that is more important.  I have a message for the world and even though I am not comfortable doing a video I need to do it.  Stay tuned . . .  :)

Why do they do it?

Did you use bogus info on the form you just filled out?  The person who put that ad out there spent time, money, and a lot of thought to get that message out there.  You spent a few seconds to fill in a fake email address.  What did you get from it?  Did you ever stop to think that you could have gained more by using a good email address?  Maybe you missed some really important info.  Maybe you just missed out on the perfect opportunity or business idea.  Maybe you just like to fill out forms . . .

Next time you come across an ad that looks interesting and there is a form to fill out think about what you might be missing out on when you fill in that fake email address.  You can always unsubscribe if you find it is not for you, but if you use a fake email address how will you ever know for sure?

If it's to be it's up to me

If it's to be it's up to me.

Let me explain what that means to me.

So many network marketers blame having a bad sponsor when they don't succeed in their online business. 

Is it the sponsor's fault that you do not work toward your goals?  Even if your sponsor doesn't communicate well, isn't it up to you to get the information you need if you really want to succeed?

A great team and a great up-line is very helpful but the lack of those is not a reason to quit.  Get in touch with your sponsors sponsor - contact a team leader - do whatever it takes to make it work, but don't expect anyone to do YOUR work.

When people hear "Work from home"  they sometimes forget the word "Work".  It is a job and with hard work and a little luck you can earn a nice living without commuting to a JOB.  If you were at the office and didn't know what to do because your immediate boss didn't tell you, would you just sit there day after day?  No you wouldn't because if you did you wouldn't have that job for very long.

Reach out and get the info you need to succeed, even if it takes some work.

The good, the bad, and the ugly

Working from home can be awesome or it can be a disaster.  Many factors can make you or break you so you need to be aware of the good, the bad, and the ugly.

What's good?  Getting involved with a solid company that has a real product that everyone wants. 
What's bad?  A company with no product or a product that no one wants or needs and lacks a good customer service department.
What's ugly?  A site that promises to make you a millionaire by tomorrow with a magic button or other nonsense. The only one getting rich is the person selling you that magic button.

So what do I recommend?

How about a true e-commerce company with an affiliate arm with no monthly fees and no mandatory purchases?  Karatbars International is the company I choose.

 The product is gold.  Not just any gold... 24K 999.9 LBMA stamped with the kine-bar hologram and signature of authenticity and is sealed in a UV protected laminated card which has a unique serial number for each 1, 2.5, or 5 gram card. Along with the regular gold cards there are special limited addition cards and other gift items that can be purchased.  The gold can be stored for free or can be shipped to your home via FedEx.

The Customer Service is great. Along with a well trained staff in the corporate headquarters, there is a team dedicated to helping every affiliate succeed.

The Commissions plan is the best I have seen.  Please visit the recorded webinar to learn more.

Please contact me through Skype or email and let's get to know each other and talk about our success together.
