It will take time to build so don’t be in a hurry. Build everyday, fund your business monthly, bi-weekly, or weekly. Remember, the more you do, the bigger it will get.

Find a funnel that fits your thinking. What do you stand for? What are you going to share with new people daily? Our niche’ is Digital Education Marketing. Become A Believer In What You Are DOING, until you do, people will know and not follow you.

People need to be gently lead. So become the leader and lead. It’s so worth it.

LEADERS ARE READERS. What are you reading or listening to for motivation? Have you read “Who stole My Cheese”, Rich Dad Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich, How to Win Friends And Influence People?

Building your list. It’s a numbers game. The more people you have to work with the better. My mentor adds people to her list daily, weekly, and monthly. There is a variety of things done to produce the results she is looking for.

From changing up her Lead Capture page-(update regularly) for variety is the spice of life. Solo ads-Udimi, bought at the beginning of each month. Viral mailers, social media. Co-op shares.

I FOLLOW THE LEADERS,WHY-THEY GET RESULTS.

Social Media, Facebook, Twitter

Being creative is fun, easy, and exciting. The more eyeballs that see your pages the better. Any good business spends money to promote what they want people to buy, but there is a process. Know, like, and trust . People have to get to know you. This is called branding yourself. For me it’s-Michael The Traveling Trucker.

Stay in contact with your team. Encourage them to be action takers. Janet Legere and Rob Gehring are awesome encouragers. The are constantly helping, by coaching, mentoring, and sharing strategies that work best.

HOW TO PLANT YOUR GARDEN

Hello Everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s adventure is ” How To Planet Your Garden”.

Field, Cereals, Summer, Sun, Sunshine

When contemplating how much return you want from your harvest, you must look at how much seed are you going to plant? The more seed you plant the bigger the HARVEST.

Business is the same way. Planting as many seeds as possible is PARAMOUNT. What is your seed? LCP-Lead Capture Page. I personally use several different pages.

People don’t like seeing the same offer over and over. Be creative in your thinking process. Do tests to see what works best.

What is your offer? ANYONE?—– IT’S YOU. You are YOUR OFFER. If people don’t know you, do you really think they will buy from you? Brand yourself TO BE the go-to person. Let people know you can solve their problems.

Look at OUR leaders. Their success has come from years of building their lists, Watering those lists ( communicating) with people, and guiding them to the best offers. Putting more people on your list is the NUMBER 1 GOAL of any marketer, so be SMART. Add to YOUR list daily.

Top View of Green Field
Make Your Harvest Look Like This!

You water your seeds through viral mailers, Udimi solo ads, word of mouth, business cards, videos, and a host of other tools.

I CAN’T SAY THIS ENOUGH-BUILD YOUR LIST. No list, no money. You are here to make $$$$$$, RIGHT. Listen to your leaders.

Attend weekly webinars. Talk to your leaders, ask questions. Set up a one on one meeting to discuss your strategies . Using every advantage is not only smart but can be very PRODUCTIVE.

PLEASE follow up with your leads. This is the lifeblood of YOUR business, so don’t let one drop slip away.

I want everyone of you to have your dreams come true. Work hard daily, show up, do the work, follow up, advertise and then do it all over tomorrow.

If you need any help, please contact me. I would love to help.

Smile For The Birdie

Hello Everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker. It’s time to smile for the birdie.

Making a video is easy, fun and let’s people know who you are.

Let me say this: Don’t over complicate this process. You can do as many as you like if you are not satisfied with the results.

No one will see them until you publish them. Go ahead now and create your 1st video. After you are done I know you will say to yourself, That wasn’t hard at all.

VIDEO, OH VIDEO, HOW EASY YOU ARE.

HOW TO DRAW STRENGTH FROM WITHIN?

Close your eyes, take a slow deep breath. Hold for 5 seconds. Now release slowly. Take your time to focus.

Hello Everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker. Learning to relax is not as easy as it sounds. We as a culture have way to many distractions.

Finding your quiet place can be challenging. I’m glad I have my BIG RIG. I can close the curtains from the outside world, sit on my bunk and get quiet before the LORD.

There is real POWER in PEACE. Being at peace with yourself and those around you should be a top priority. When you are angry, mad, upset, your thinking takes you on the negative roadway of destruction.

Eye, Creative, Galaxy, Collage, Flowers

Repeat after me: I have confidence, I have conviction, I have courage. Today I take my stand to walk in peace, speak words of peace, and think peaceful things

I will open my tool box of motivation videos, books and pod casts. I can’t afford the negative, the price is too high and all I get is an upset stomach.

Never let fear get a hold of you. You are strong, you are powerful, and you have the UNIVERSE at your command. SPEAK WORDS OF LIFE.

What Does Your Calendar Say?

Hello Everyone. Michael The Traveling Trucker. We all have a calendar. Do you use your calendar to divide your time between specific activities?

It’s all about working smarter not harder, getting more done in less time. Sometimes time is tight and the pressures can be high.

Real-time management is about having a good activities list. Once you have WRITTEN DOWN your activity’s list, put beside each one how much time you will devote to this activity.

Say your Blog post- 30 to 45 minutes, depending what you are writing about.

How much time to do viral mailers, create a new Lead Capture Page, Send out a broad cast to your team… Get the PICTURE, Does this begin to make sense?

As you begin to start your day, you will see where you can fit other activities into your day and allow others to interrupt you because you are flexible.

PLEASE don’t get to side tracked that you lose all sense of time. You can always contact people back after your activities are done.

Don’t get MARRIED to your computer that all you do is have conversations and nothing gets done. Be able to separate between Business and Family. You need to be able to break away.

Leaving Your Mark

Hello Everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker. I was thinking about the ways we leave our “MARK” on people around us.

Mention: https://www.pinterest.com/kenziebabby/people-leaving-quotes/

I was complaining to God, can you really hear me? Do you really understand? I got an instant text from a Chaplain Friend of mine from Breezewood, Pa, saying he was praying for me and my family.

Tears rolled down my cheeks. I knew right then and there God was listening and cares for me. Today I offer gratitude, thankfulness, and a heart full of LOVE.

I leave my mark on my sweet bride, by offering funny emojis throughout the day to let her know how special she is in my life. Telling and showing Regina my love for her by acts of service. That’s my love language to her.

I do special things for my two girls. I always want them to be daddy’s girls. Driving to my daughter’s work to put her tag sticker on her car because she forgot and was driving with a expired tag.

People I’m in business with, I leave my blog, share my ideas, and show respect and love for my personal leaders.

I share the best advice with those who come behind me. Things I learn from the leaders-Like follow-up, how to talk to people, how to set up ads, Why we follow the system to the letter.

Show your BIG SMILE every day. Find something to compliment them on. Be the person, others love being around. We all know that one person who people flock to. Become that PERSON.

Have you ever thought about Writing a book, Writing a song, A love poem? Creating a tee shirt, coffee mug, poster…… There are so many ways to leave your mark.

Be a trusted friend. Mother, Father, Sister, Brother, Aunt, Uncle. Impart your wisdom into the hearts of people.

PEOPLE LOVE TO BE VALUED. In closing, “HOW DO YOU LEAVE YOUR MARK”?

Leave Your Finger Print, They Will See it

My Ads Better Than Your Ad

Hello Everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker. Have you ever felt like the kid on the playground. My Dad’s better than your Dad.

Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/kids%20playing/

Stick People, Children, Kids, School

In marketing, why is there the feeling of My Ad Is better than your Ad?

Yes, there are fabulous ads that catch your ATTENTION, others we just skip by. Why is that? Is it words we use, pictures we send, or the wrong words and pictures for the niche?

The simple truth is that most advertisers sound like a mob of two-year-olds in a day-care center, each one jumping and crying, “Me! Me! Me! Watch me! Look at me!”

Hanger and shopping bag in wardrobe

Here Are MY helpful hints:

You’re targeting the wrong audience. You haven’t addressed the needs of potential customers. Zzzzzzz…your ads are boring! Your ads are cluttered and overwhelming.

Your potential customers can’t relate. There is no call to action. You haven’t leveraged the right tools.

All these are factors in determining what will work BEST FOR YOU.

Does putting an amazing offer in front of people influence them to buy even if they don’t have an immediate or compelling want or need? 

Does an amazing offer force someone to buy if they don’t have a budget? No, it doesn’t.  So your ad gets completely ignored and you don’t get any response.

What if you find potential prospects and get their permission to market to them on a more consistent basis and with more targeted offers while spending less money?

Try Creating an ad offering a free report like this: “5 Easy Blogging Tips That People Love To READ”.

The goal of marketing is to get people who have a need to KNOW, LIKE AND TRUST you so when they are ready to buy, they buy from you. Offering helpful and useful information helps build your KNOW, LIKE and TRUST factors and yes, increases sales.

The goal of 2 Step Advertising is to get prospects to your site and get their permission to engage them by collecting their email addresses.

Once you have their permission you can share information on their specific needs. Be The Helpful Person, Who Knows what they need and willing to offer them the solution.

So what have you really LEARNED today? Can you see the value to offer people?

“Bad advertising is about the advertiser. Good advertising is about the customer.” 

Think about what people are LOOKING for, how to solve their problem, and offer it to them with LOVE.

BLACK AND WHITE OR COLOR?

Hello Everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker. I love black and white photos. Having someone describe what was actually going on in the photo is amazing.

Having those memories from days gone by creates a unique outlook on life.

Color has it’s place also. Paintings, photos, and nature burn an image on the brain and senses for a clear understanding of sights, smells, and tastes.

HOW DO YOU VIEW LIFE? How do you present your business?

Why do black and white photographs speak to us? In nature, colors are meant to attract, and cause things to catch our attention.

Still, even without color, black and white images are a mainstay of our craft and are powerful representations of the artistic spirit.

What is the mood you want to create? Do you want warm and inviting, calculating and precise, or business professional?

Creating your own style is fun and exciting. Taking a mixture of black and white and color invites all sorts of people.

ARE YOU A ROLE MODEL?

Hello Everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker. I like role models. I have sought out a few to follow because I truly like what they stand for.

Remember that role models can be positive or negative.

Mention: https://www.rootsofaction.com/role-model/

5 Qualities of Role Models

 Visibility plays an important part in making someone a role model. People who are honest in dealing with others. They always uplift people. They are helpful in instructing others.

5 Qualities of Positive Role ModelsPassion and Ability to Inspire, Clear Set of Values, Commitment to Community, Selflessness, and Acceptance of Others, Ability to Overcome Obstacles.

When- did you notice I said, WHEN you create your own success, you will become a role model. Be willing to stand strong on your beliefs, gently guide others, setting the standard for your brand of excellence.

Mention: https://www.gettyimages.com/photos/role-model

I believe we have gotten away from good role model examples, they are still there if you are willing to research them.

Most of us don’t come equipped with a clear set of ethical standards on our own. We receive lessons from others, to a certain extent, but it’s more likely that we acquire our moral sense through vicarious processes.

Mentors are a second source of learning to be ethical leaders. When they take us under their wing, those who guide us in the workplace, or even those who work side-by-side as co-workers with us show us, again through vicarious learning, that we ourselves need to be honest and fair in our dealings with others.

When you play fair, communicate directly, and in general demonstrate that you hold high standards, other people actually do look up to you. 

If for no other reason than to be liked and respected, taking the moral high ground may be the one that ultimately benefits you as well as those who look up to you as their inspiration. 

Be the best you can be daily. Talk to yourself in the mirror, tell yourself great things each day, before you tell anyone else anything. Set the standard HIGH, people will respect you for the stand you take.

Be The Role Model You Respect
