Disney magic vs CLB MAGIC

Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/disney/

It all starts with a DREAM. That’s how I became, “Michael The Traveling Trucker”. For us lucky enough, who live in the USA, we might get a chance to go to Disney-either in Florida or California. They call it the magic kingdom. We spend money, time and effort to visit, and escape work life for a week. We don’t get paid to use their facilities. It could cost us thousands of dollars to be entertained. Yes, we see amazing things all around us. By the end of the week, we need another week’s vacation, just to rest from all the walking around we do.

CROSS OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE

I pulled my rig over to the side of the road. This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. I looked out across the wide river. There were houses, ball fields, playgrounds, picnic tables. I could only see these things through my binoculars.

What I really wanted, was to be where the people were. It looked inviting, fun and a great place to rest. My problem was my semi and trailer. I couldn’t take them there, dang it. So how did I get to the other side?

Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/river%20crossing/

In business, I see people sitting on the sidelines, looking through the binoculars. They want to be with the people but don’t know how to get there.

Let’s be honest, it takes time to build a business. Rome wasn’t built in a day. People want instant riches, the problem with that is, people are not disciplined with instant money. They spent it and then it’s gone forever. Taking time to built your business, you earn a little, then reinvest, and repeat. Before you know it you have built a nice nest egg. You have learned to be a wise Stewart. You have counted the cost and paid the price, over and over to gain your success.

I crossed over to CLB Learning landing site. I knew the people were there. I knew it would be fun, exciting, and downright relaxing at times. Don’t waste another minute READER, COME JOIN US FOR FREE, NOW.

The Wise Old Owl

European eagle owl. In a tree hollow stock images

A wise old owl sat in an oak,

The more he saw the less he spoke.

The less he spoke the more he heard,

Why can’t we all be like that wise old bird?

Wow, What words of wisdom. This Is Michael the Traveling Trucker. There is a connection between wisdom and limiting what we say. Proverbs 10:19 says, In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is wise.

We are wise to be careful about what we say or how much we say in certain situations. It makes sense to guard our words when we are angry.

” Be swift to hear, slow to speak and slow to wrath”.

There was a situation that transpired with my oldest daughter, where a young woman can up to the gas window where she works. She looked up and called the young women, sir by mistake. The young woman walked away before my daughter could apologize. She went and told her mother, who came to the window and began to curse my daughter out. This shows me how shallow people are becoming. My instinct was to find this woman and give her a tongue lashing because I still want to protect my girl.

My daughter has true wisdom. She said, Dad, don’t bother. This woman was not worth the time to confront and possibly get into trouble. This lesson speaks volumes to me. Yep, Be A Wise Old Owl.

Many of life’s problems come from two things: We act without thinking or we keep thinking without acting. Guard your hearts above all else, for it determines the course of your life. While I sit here on Saturday night, I want my thoughts to reflect the love that permeates every pore of my being. It’s nice to know I don’t have to be rude, crude and socially unacceptable.

Timing is everything….This is a must when we speak and the words we choose to use. Dealing with people is very difficult, so choose to encourage, love, and respect ALL. Knowing the right time to speak is beneficial to the speaker as well as the hearer.

How well do you deal with rude people? Is it better to walk away and say nothing? Let’s all say nice things and be loving to those around us. In this final saying from Psalm 5:3, ” LISTEN TO MY VOICE IN THE MORNING, LORD. EACH MORNING I BRING MY REQUESTS TO YOU AND WAIT EXPECTANTLY.

Shoot Lower, Sheriff

Stepping out of the saddle with Michael The Traveling Trucker. I heard the bullet whiz by, hitting the ground, I rolled over and over. I knew there was going to be another. Listening intently but nothing came. Then I heard the laughter, with these words. Shoot lower sheriff, I think they’re riding shetlands. In my life, I have missed the mark. I shot too high or too low at first, and the bullet goes somewhere into prairie land, never to be seen again. I had to reach into my saddle bags and see what options were available, as I sat around the campfire wondering how I was going to make it.

William T. “Bloody Bill” Anderson (1838 – 1864) was a notorious Confederate guerrilla leader with whom Jesse James associated for a brief period during the Civil War.

Sometimes I have had the next big thing syndrome. I have spent a lot of money, time, and effort, with no success. Within a short period of time, I got discouraged, looking for something else to try to make money. I finally got real with myself. If I wanted to build a business, I had to pick one, master it, no matter how long it takes. With all the internet businesses out there, I already had one on my computer, that I had forgotten about. I was a free member of CLB. I decided to look at it again. I liked what I saw and contacted Janet Legere, the owner. I upgraded and began my journey. My first task was to build my list which I have been doing for the past seven months. I hit the bullseye with this one. This is a simple to use system, set up with YOU and ME in mind, the greenhorns.

FUN FACTS

Welcome to another adventure of Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today is Sunday, Nov. 1, 2020. I’m sitting in Tampa Fla. for my pick up on Monday morning, going to Scranton, Pa. for a Tuesday delivery. I didn’t get to go home this weekend, missing out on a family outing to Six Flags. This is my life sometimes as a trucker. I was done on Saturday in Miami, Fla. and got to Tampa, early Sunday morning as I was in no hurry. Got out and walked this morning, taking pictures of what I see and sending them to my family.

Chronos Mentality

Mention: 31 Days of Victory by Scott Reece

Another adventure of Michael The Traveling Trucker, say’s “Chronos Mentality “is a reality for most of us. Chronos is measured by clocks, calendars, schedules, and a multitude of appointments. The Greek word “kairos” means the opportune moments. Chronos requires discipline and punctuality. Kairos requires discipline and discernment or spiritual sensitivity, In actuality, we need both. A healthy balance in life allows for a Chronos structure, in which the kairos movements can be fulfilled. Life is not about sitting around waiting for the perfect moment, but listening with a sensitive and obedient ear and having the willingness to respond with a heart that pursues the passions of God at every moment.

My world for the last few days has been at the mercy of other people. Being a driver, I deal with different people and their job functions. A word altercation with a security guard has banned me from a location I deliver to. This was 3 weeks ago and disrupted my weekly schedule. Instead of being home on Friday, I got home Saturday afternoon. I normally leave on Monday for my 1st weekly delivery, but this week I finish my load on Monday and leave on Tuesday. This costs me money. I like my schedule, I like my money. I don’t like either of these being altered.

How many of you have had your life disrupted by outside forces? In my case, it was the 20-year-old security guard who was wrong, by not knowing her job. Even her supervisor came down and saw that I was in the right place with the right PO number. She complained higher up the ladder which escalated way out of control. Now my boss and customer we deliver for are trying to have me reinstated. This takes time. What I learned is sometimes it’s better to say nothing and ask for help higher up at the start.

Being online marketers, gives us a lot more power in dealing with people. If I don’t like working with someone, I don’t have to. Here are some tips dealing with the trouble makers, whiners and complainers.

Do not react– The best reaction towards a troublemaker is no reaction at all. When they realize that no one is paying attention to them, the trouble-making may stop. However, even if the troublemaker turns more aggressive, you don’t have to react to his actions. Stay calm and don’t give any emotional responses as you will only end up fueling his/ her negative energy.

How to deal with whiners-Whiners are another category of troublemakers. We all whine and complain a little about some things in life. However, if the whining goes beyond a certain limit, it can become unbearable and leave you emotionally drained.

Be compassionate– Don’t try to be sarcastic or give any solution to their problems; all they need is a little empathy and someone to listen to their woes. Even if they are complaining about things which seem trivial to you, remember that for them it might be a huge problem. You need to be very patient through all this as it may take some time for the whining to stop or even reduce.

Know what not to say-Cheering up whiners does not work at all, so refrain yourself from saying things like Cheer up, Time heals all wounds. Also, don’t ever think of suggesting solutions to his/her problems; the whiner is not asking for a solution.

Here is the best thing you can do. Be polite and wait. In my case, I should have used these techniques, but being a hot-head got me into playing a game their way. Yes, I’m talking to myself. I need to hear this as much as anyone. My wife is always telling me to learn from my mistakes. I will definitely take her up on this. Thank you, sweetie.

My mentor Janet, deals with people very politely. She is the word decorum. Business with Janet and the CLB Learning team, makes life a whole lot smoother for this kid.

MSF 500 is another learning structure. Rob, my coach has a different approach. He is a straight shooter. Let’s people know the rules upfront. Follow the rules, or out you go. Rob also has integrity, willing to listen, make recommendations and set you on the right path.

Jon Olson and Blain Jones from –Click Track Profit, Are great teachers. Their video section brings all aspects of the business to life. I have been challenged by Blain. He helped me see things from a different view. It was great.

I hope you get a lot from this, as I know, I did writing it. Taking time to really see those around you, will bring you a sense of PEACE. Stay the course, work your business and let’s travel the WORLD.

The Table Is Set from Tammy House, come on by.

ARE YOU STILL A SLAVE?

Greetings and Salutations. Michael The Traveling Trucker. I was reading about being a slave. WOW, was my reaction. I’m still a slave in some areas of my life.

Mention:https://pixabay.com/images/search/slavery/

Let me ask you, READER, does this still sound like you too? Slaves are people who do what they are told (JOB). They are not free to live life with privileges, to walk in terms of authority or even to express their opinions. They sometimes have cruel masters, and live in fear and bondage. You may not be physically chained to your desks, but what about your mind, will and emotions?

Why are you looking to escape this nightmare? I was on this road not long ago. I was looking for a way to free myself from the RAT RACE. Home to work, work to home, home to work, work to home, digging that rut deeper and deeper every day. Always taking the same way to work and home. You get up and go to bed pretty much the same, day in and day out. So, HOW DO I BREAK THE CYCLE? Glad you asked, READER. Having your own business, while not building it all by yourself. For me and maybe for you, the answer is CONTACT LIST BUILDER. This is a complete system. Most of it is done for you. What you do will be the icing on the cake. We have the best support system-Telegraph Room- where you can get all your questions answered. Did I say VIDEOS- yes, FREE training?

We want you to win. To ease your mind on money, family, vacations, cars, homes, and my personal favorite- BEING DEBT FREE. For me, that means, no mortgage, car payments, credit card payments. I believe most of AMERICA lives on how much the payments are, to see if we can afford it. PICTURE THIS IN YOUR MIND- Waking up when your eyes open, not by ALARM. Walking to your business office in your most comfy clothes. Taking a vacation whenever you want without thinking-PRICE. Really driving the car you want. Helping out family because you can. Helping out neighbors, friends, your church.

IMAGINE, working with YOUR team. Everyone helping everyone to succeed. Having a mentor guide you until YOU become a mentor. Reaching outside the box to do things YOU have never done before. I hated the phone calls. It was scary and I really can’t tell you why. People weren’t saying no to me, but to themselves. I just move on to those who want it. It has been retraining my mind, doing training exercises every day. Reading, positive talk to myself. I really have become my best encourager. Now, I love the encouragement from others, but if it’s not there, be YOUR own cheerleader.

Are you into sports? Fishing? Golfing? Tennis? Spas? Shopping? What is your DREAM? You can paint YOUR own picture. Make it a masterpiece. We have many tools to expand your business. I use these on a daily basis, TL2Ivm, CTP.

Anytime you feel you are not learning from what you are listening to, you should check your attitude, especially in the area of PRIDE. Sometimes, we think we have all the answers and stop listening. We miss simple things from that point on. One of the things I do is have an open mind. I have made people mad because I wasn’t listening. I know better than you anyway. BOY was that sad on my part. My Business Tip Is, Give CLB a careful look. I know you will see all the benefits as I did. There is LIVE TRAINING every Thursday at noon EST. As we train ourselves, we set bigger and bigger goals. I am working on 100 referrals, my first commission, creating more videos, reaching 200 blog posts.

One of the things I do now is asking a lot of questions. It helps me to focus on what’s important. Please believe when I say, there is no such thing as a dumb question, except the one you don’t ask. You may think you have poor memory, but the truth is you have millions of ideas, truths, facts at your fingertips. Your memory is like a muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it will become. I have found out that meditation benefits me throughout the day. This is part of my daily routine, I have my mentor’s videos to watch, motivation videos to inspire me. We need to learn from each other. I have found that everyone has something I can use, whether big or small. What can you you share with me?

ADVERTISE WITH STYLE

HELLO EVERYONE. This is Michael the Traveling Trucker. How and why should you put your ALL into advertising? It’s all about reaching your audience, building a relationship, and mentoring them. My Business is always on the top of my list to promote daily. So, what’s out there?

Mhttps://pixabay.com/images/search/social/ention:

The Social Media-Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, Reddit, Tumblr, Pinterest, Badoo, blogster, delicious, Exploroo. The list is over 75 long. The more you brand yourself in different ways, the more your message gets in front of people.

Mention: https://brandastic.com/blog/the-ten-best-ways-to-advertise-your-business/ I only used eight in this post. I know the other 2 are good, but not that relevant to your business right now. Live Television & Radio and Print Media / Direct Mail

Pay Per Click (Search Ads)-Google Ads-Businesses make an average of $2 for every $1 they spend on Google ads. In 2019- a whooping 160 billion ads were generated in a month. Pros: Very easy to set up, spend only on clicks, good value for conversions.
Cons: High competition can be expensive in some markets.

We have a coop, which gets great results. Rob Gehring , Owner of TL2Ivm.

Email Marketing–Depending upon your market, sending emails to consumers can still be a viable option. Especially when included as part of a broader strategy, email campaigns can help to keep your products and services top of mind for your consumers.

Pros: Free or very low cost, simple setup, can grow reach over time
Cons: Lower engagement compared.

Influencer Marketing-A reasonably new and somewhat untested model of advertising has grown from the increased popularity of micro-celebrities and influencers. Popular on both Instagram and Youtube, ‘influencers’ are people who have a large follower base (10,000 plus followers is a typical metric).

Influencer marketing can help to both grow your brand reach and offer sales incentives. The average price to use an influencer to promote a brand is $271 per post. For influencers with more than 100,000 followers, the average cost was $763 per post.

Pros: Can access niche markets and build brand trust quickly
Cons: Unpredictable sales revenue, harder to link conversions to campaigns.

Podcast Ads-The considerable benefit of advertising on podcasts is that the audience has high trust with the person reading the promotion. Most listeners know that the podcaster will not advertise products or services that don’t suit their audience. If you want to advertise on a podcast, typically, the going rate is $18-25 CPM (cost per thousand downloads).

Pros: Captive audience, high trust, reasonable costs
Cons: Ads are skippable, and may take repeated campaigns for effectiveness

Location-Based Offers. Every business that wants to be found online should create a Google My Business Page, to help grow its visibility. The pages are free and allow local searchers to find a business near to them.

Pros: Very low competition in some markets, can encourage impulse buys
Cons: Lower visibility for some industries.

Video Content & Advertising-Since YouTube launched in 2005, the platform has grown to become the world’s most popular video platform. In an average month, 80% of people between 18 and 49 watch YouTube. Video can be used to promote, educate, and keep a connection with existing customers. Best of all, the cost of video production has dropped considerably.

Pros: Owner by Google, easy to begin advertising
Cons: Ads are skippable, harder to keep attention with an audience.

Organic Web Traffic-Organic traffic is the term used to describe visits to a website coming from a search engine’s organic results and not paid ads. Organic traffic to your site always comes down to the usefulness of your website. If you create a website that answers your potential customer’s questions and provides them the solutions to their problems, you will begin to attract attention. The more people that click onto your website, the better it will start to rank in Google. If you can gain backlinks from other websites, this will also help the site to increase rankings.

Pros: Free advertising, high trust for interested prospects
Cons: Difficult to measure, takes time and effort to grow

Some of the best video training comes from CTP. The Owners Jon Olson and Blain Jones have put a lot of effort in this Training.
