I’m doing this blog to say to myself” I told You So”. LOL
I gave it a week driving local which is not as local as I thought. I had no home time but to sleep. I have been driving tired. My nights start at 11:30 pm ending the next day around 2pm.
I saw my wife for 30 minutes to 1 hour before I would go to bed, so I could get some sleep. Even my wife said she liked my home time on weekends because I was home all day Saturday and Sunday and some Monday mornings.
She was trying to be quite. She goes to bed around 9:30, so she would wake me up because I’m a light sleeper.
The relief I feel is over whelming. The weight of this job is gone and I can get to doing my internet and blogging, building this wonderful business.
I will be content for the next 5 years before calling it quits. Then my sweet bride and I will travel and see the sights together that I see on the road.
Folks, I say this with love, be content at what ever you do. Find something good in everything you do. Say to yourself,” I’M PROUD OF YOU “. You are doing a great job, keep it up.
Hello Everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker. I influence people through what type of semi I drive. I love the Freightliner Cascadia. It’s roomy, 2 bunks.
I can raise the bottom bunk up, lock it in place, and have a foldable table and chairs, where I can sit and eat, draw, get out my laptop and go to work.
It is my home away from home with a refrigerator, microwave, plug in strips. I have a TV mount and cable access.
I show people on the road some of the features, like setting up the truck to start by itself when I need to cool off or warm-up. It’s a weather thing, Don’t cha know.
The cab gets too hot or too cold and the truck sensors kick in starting the truck to cool it down or warm it up. Once the temp is reached the truck shuts off.
In the Affiliating Marketing niche, social media has a dominance that people use to get their brand out there. You may have a free Ebook, Set up a mini-course on solo ads, Course on How to be a Great Blogger.
” DON’T SELL THE STEAK, SELL THE SIZZLE”. Focus on the experience around a product rather than simply on the product itself.
You MUST provide REAL VALUE. Content writing is an important component of your overall content marketing strategy. Great content engages your audience and can address their pain points, adding value to their business or their lives.
After users find your content, do they consider it to be readable?
While this question applies to written content, text is the primary way people consume information, so it’s an important category. Today, the younger crowd loves videos. Make them and share share share
TIP#1: Communicate with your audience. Social media networks are primarily a communication tool.
When you engage in a conversation with your audience, then they will feel as though they know you.
TIP#2: Become a THOUGHT LEADER. As a Thought leader, you bring a unique insight to a topic. Based on your passion experience, and knowledge, your topic tells a story where people relate.
To make this happen: Please pick a topic you genuinely know and are interested in.
TIP#3: Become A World Changer. Integrating your social media with your site itself. YOUR BRAND and MESSAGE HAS TO BE different from the competition.
Don’t make it boring like so many other sites. People love the unique, bold, passionate, funny, heart warming, thought provoking content.
I love what I do. I sell the dream. People are smart and know when you are insincere. Let’s take a road trip. Let’s do something you have never done before.
Strap into the jump seat an roll on. What’s first on your LIST?
I know from experience that getting on the phone can be scary, uncomfortable and make you draw a blank when talking to leads and prospects about your business.
Let me say from the get go, “PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT”. Start where you are and grow each day. Go over and over the scripts provided or make up your own following the guidelines from our leaders.
I recommend a one on one with ROB GEHRING. He is our closer at GLN. Book a meeting and discuss the topic. Rob is a valuable resource that most people don’t utilize or know is available for our use.
Other great resources are Janet Legere and Jared Meyers. Janet does our weekly webinar on Wednesday at 12:00 noon EST for members only.
Jared is the owner of GLN. Who better to ask about talking to people.
In the end, people can’t see you so RELAX. You should look like this,
Check out the script directly from my back office: This is just a SAMPLE.
-Hi is this (Your Prospects Name Here)? -When they say yes it is, you respond with this –This is (Your Name Here) and you recently filled out a form about making money from home. Do you have a few moments to talk? -Pause and continue based on their response -I’m following up to see if you have any questions. -Did you watch the on demand webinar after you filled out the form? -If they say no, respond with this — Are you looking for a way to make money from home? -If they say yes, ask them this — Do you have a few moments right now to watch the on demand webinar? -If they say yes, respond with this — I will send you the link via email, what is a good email address? -When they give you their email, respond with this – Ok, one moment here it comes. -Pause to send the email which you have ready to send before you call! -Once you send them the email, verify that they received it -Once they say they have received it, tell them you can wait while they watch the video or you can call them back. Make sure you set a time to call them back and have them commit to that time.
In reality, a script is just a guide for useful things to ask and say. You will be lead by the person on the other end of the phone.
Have a smile on your face. Believe it or not people can hear your smile by your voice. SMILE SMILE SMILE.
Don’t let people control the conversation by getting off topic. STAY FOCUSED.
Keep your conversation on track, ask questions to determine if this is a “Hot or Not” prospect. keep everything simple, slow, and let it flow naturally. It’s ok to be nervous. The people on the other end are more nervous than you.
More questions you can ask your leads: -Do you have any experience with online programs like this one? -Do you have a budget for an online business? A monthly advertising budget?
The answer to these two questions will tell you volumes about your lead and whether or not you want to continue asking questions.

We talk about family. Sumeet is 20 years younger than myself, with 3 girls from 11 to 15. I have grown girls so sharing my experience, strength and hope has been a blessing.
I introduced him to this wonderful business and he excepted at the Elite level. He has shared what he is doing as far as training, advertising, and setting up his funnel. He is a superstar in the making. It’s the SYSTEM at WORK.

Hello Everyone, Michael “I’m Not Quitting” The Traveling Trucker. I was doing some classroom study through videos and came across this GEM.
ARE YOU A QUITTER? This was a slap in my face to wake me from my dream. Am I willing to put in the work, time, and money to build an empire? I ask you the same question, ARE YOU?
Why would you think about quitting your business after 30, 60,90 days with no success? Would you quit a JOB every 30, 60, 90 days? Of course NOT.
That would be STUPID, and you know it. You have to give it time, doing the right things every day.
If you ask the people why they quit, what answer would you get? ” I hope this works for me, but probably won’t”. I have tried so many and they are all scams.
What you should ask is what did they do in weeks one, two, three, four? Most of the time they did no advertising, no follow-up, no investment.
How could this work? It wouldn’t. Rise up and succeed in spite of your circumstances.
Do you not like freedom, money, respect? We offer all these to those who will embark on life’s journey.
What is the cost compared to return on investment? Depending on what niche you get into, your entry fee could be anywhere from 50.00 to 1000.00s of dollars.
I chose high ticket items. The investment was small and the return on investment was high.
Your funnel is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom for a reason. You want to weed out the quitters, whiners, and broke people. It gets smaller at the bottom where the people who want to invest are and go through each step of the funnel.
How many leads do you want to reach each day? What is your number? You must post ads every day to hit your numbers. Are you showing your business to enough people?
REMEMBER IT’S A NUMBERS GAME, RIGHT? Write you number down, then work like a crazy person until you reach them.
Here is your CALL to join us. Come enjoy life with a group of ENTREPRENEURS who make things happen. CLICK HERE.
I was thinking about why people trust me with 100,000 dollars or more with truck, trailer, and freight. I drive across multiple states. Driving thousands of miles.
I’m on time, in my case super early. I’m polite and help people by engaging them in conversation. I help rest their fears, I’m here for them. Anything to make things run smooth.
As a trucker, I have built great and lasting friendships. Now that I’m switching jobs to drive local, people have said with genuine affection that they will miss me.
Giving your best should be your daily task. Family, friends, even acquaintances. People should feel at ease, feel loved, and know you are there for them.
Jump forward to your business practices. What part of excellence in yourself are you giving away? Don’t be afraid to give away ” your good stuff”. Be the up and above the status quo person.
Here is a profound statement, ” IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU. IT’S ABOUT YOUR AUDIENCE. Prepare yourself relentlessly. Don’t be a slacker and wing it.
If you are talking to people about setting up a lead capture page, don’t you need to be able to show them how to do it? How about running solo ads? If you never run a solo ad, how can you give advice? Makes sense right?
We here at GLN, are leaders in the digital marketing arena. We are set up as leaders from the start. Our system has everything a marketer will ever need.

Hello Everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker. WISE ADVICE? Do you seek it?
He climbed the mountain seeking the wise man. Days of treacherous, agonizing, life-threatening climbing to reach the summit, the wise man sat there.
He looked at the wise man and the wise man looked back. Finally he spoke. Why have you come all this way, when there were wise people all around you at home?
We think there is a secret formula. Looking to the far reaches of the universe.
Your car brakes down, you seek a wise mechanic. Body hurting, seek a wise doctor. Marriage failing, seek a wise counselor.
The reason, I’m reluctant to seek wise counsel is being hurt by people I thought were wise. I hated people when I was drinking and drugging.
I never listened to anyone for anything. I only kept my own counsel, and because I did, every aspect of my life suffered.
The Book of Proverbs was written by King Solomon.
Proverb1:1-These are the proverbs of Solomon, David’s son, King of Isreal.
2) Their purpose is to teach people wisdom and discipline, to help them understand the insights of the wise.
3) Their purpose is to teach people to live disciplined and successful lives, to help them do what is right, just, and fair.
4) These proverbs will give insight to the simple, knowledge and discernment to the young.
5) Let the wise listen to these proverbs and become even wiser.
6) Let those with understanding receive guidance by exploring the meaning in these parables, the words of the wise, and their riddles.
7) Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.
Where you will be in 5 years is dependent upon the books you read and the people you hang out with. Today you access to the internet and a fountain of people and knowledge.
Please take the wisdom from others with a grain of salt. Meditate, research and follow through on ALL TEACHINGS. See what fits and benefits you, OK?
I love the wisdom that comes from interacting with others through the internet. When I seek writing, there are writers who give tips for writing. Crypto knowledge is vast and can be confusing. There are people who make their living studying crypto.
You have list building videos, marketing videos, sales videos and the list goes on and on.
What to learn cooking? Guess what you can find, cooking videos.
My wife replaced the window motor on her car by watching a video. She paid less than 50.00 for the motor and had it installed in 30 minutes saving 400.00 by not going to the mechanic. She loved the feeling of accomplishment.
WISE MEN STILL SEEK WISDOM. What wisdom do you seek? Whom can you ask?

CHING CHING CHING CHING . Waiting for the dust to settle, Business Owner calls out JOB.
JOB, you have been time rustling and gold stealing for to long . Either draw or get out of town. The choice is yours. What’s it going to be?
JOB runs for the hills knowing Business Owner is serious. JOB knows Business Owner has a reputation. Business Owner is fair in all his dealings, stands for right and justice.
Business owner has slain more than one rustler and is quick on the draw.
As cute as this story begins, We must really have this type of MINDSET, if we are to break the trading time for dollars mindset. Our mindset needs a big dose of unlimited thinking.
Thoughts come from within and without. From within, thoughts come from the brain and the neuro-network. From without, the thoughts come from Sky/Space.
Thoughts decide our life. You become what you think. If you are preoccupied with garbage thoughts, your life becomes garbage. Similarly, if you think about noble or rewarding thoughts, then life takes shape accordingly.
I have talked to Business Owners over the years. They surround themselves with people, who know more than they do. If you are the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room.
They look for the action takers, book readers, motivation listening people. They are constantly improving their MINDSET.
Most but not all are organized, set goals, have a calendar they live by. They set smaller increments of time in which to get things done. 30 minutes per day for phone calls, 30 minutes for texts, 30 minutes for emails. Their blog is 45 minutes. So far 2 hours and 15 minutes is their day.
They have some their income producing activities out of the way. They can concentrate on advertising, writing another chapter in their upcoming book.
Their speech is peppered with professionalism. They listen intently and ask lots for questions.
They are outside the box thinkers. They live hard, play hard, and LOVE with all that’s within them.
They help people understand problems and the solutions to solve them. My mentors are always stretching me, reach higher and higher they say. GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE.
They are true encouragers and don’t flatter people but give true accolades when someone they know gets it right.
Here are 2 books for your reading this week. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and Crushing It by Gary Vaynerchuk. This is my reading as well. Let’s compare notes next week, OK?
