What Does Your Village Look Like?

Park you vehicle behind my rig, The one that Say’s Michael The Traveling Trucker. We will walk into the village together and see what we see.

Think about this” It takes a whole village to raise a child”. That’s the way it used to be. We see this slipping away more and more.

Food for thought- There is the village idiot, village gossip, village drunk, and the village prostitute. Are these the type of influences we really want when it comes to raising our children?

There are the village shop keepers-butcher, baker and candle stick maker. Village elders, village mayor and hopefully the village spiritual leader, who is a man of Jehovah God.

When we look closely at these people, we can learn a lot when we ask questions.

If you want to run a business, whom do you ask? If you want to know more about God, whom do you ask?

If you want to run the daily activities of a village, whom do you ask?

NOW FOR THE FUN PART.” It’s Your Village, How Do You See It? What leaders do you converse with? Who are your advisors and mentors? How do you handle the negative side of things going on in your village? ( idiot, gossip, prostitute, drunk).

I am building my village on firm foundational principles. Listening to leaders who have already built their villages. Don’t try to change things, just because they sound good. Mentors teach you because they know you have what it takes to run your village properly and successfully.

Show up daily. Put in the work. Show your villagers, they can trust you. Work with those that want to build up your village. You must put finance into your village.

Advertise your village. Show the world, why your village is worth their time and effort to join you.

What offers are you sharing with your villagers? What value do you bring to your villagers? People really love being a part of a thriving village. There is safety, financial gains, laughing, loving, sharing life.

Do you need help building your village? Being a trucker, I can load my truck with the materials you need, to build a strong, vibrant, and prosperous village.

ARE YOU READY? GET BACK IN TOUCH WITH ME AND SAY” READY”.

Together, hand in hand, we will build a village that the world will stand in awe of. View my resource page for a glimpse of building materials.

3 SECRETLY GUARDED MONEY MAGNETS

Hello Everyone. This is Your money magnet driver, Michael The Traveling Trucker.

Believe that you deserve Prosperity! To create a positive mindset regarding success and wealth, it’s vital that you believe in your heart and soul that you deserve it.

Let Go of Self-Limiting Thoughts! If you have trouble identifying and letting go of this negative energy, try positive affirmations. This involves the repetition of phrases like…“I have money, success, and happiness.” or “Money is flowing freely to me.”

Focus on Exactly What You Want. The most powerful way to attract money is to focus on the exact amount that you want. If you want a raise at work, concentrate on the exact amount ($1,000) or percentages (10% more). If you want a new car, you need to focus exactly what kind of car, down to the make, model, and color.

How do you view money? Do you have a money magnet imagination? Have you thought you are worthy of wealth?

Take the time right now to visualize what you really want.

What talks do you have within your mind when you see people who change their life phenomenally in a few years and live a luxurious life?

Remember when the Universe is showing their wealth and luxury to you, the Universe wants to tell you that you can also become a Money Magnet like them.

Who would you take if it was you and 3 couples? What would you do? What would you see? What food would you try, drinks to drink?

How would you accomplish all these things? It’s called RELATIONSHIP MARKETING. You must build relationships with others, remember the sharing part?

Most people love being a part of something. The interactions, talking, sharing ideas. When was the last time you invited someone for coffee?

DO YOU HAVE THESE’S ?

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

At the TOP of my blog, you will see a resource page. Take a look at my recommendations, then get back with me. I would love the opportunity to share life with you.

Tell me the one thing HOLDING YOU back? Time, money, no experience?

I have been there on all three. I’m a 61-year-old trucker. Been driving all across the USA for 27 years. I wanted to have a laptop lifestyle. I didn’t have a clue where to start. I just did the hit and miss thing at first.

Feedback, Confirming, Businessmen, Group

I heard, sling enough mud at the wall and some will stick. I saw some people on the internet, who were operating their own businesses. I watched, learned(quietly), then said to myself,” I WANT WHAT THEY HAVE DONE. IF THEY CAN DO IT THERE IS HOPE FOR ME”.

I found a good fit-(Look to resource page). I began my journey almost 1 year ago. I love writing my blog. Learning how to build lead capture and thank you pages. I’m am not afraid of the phone (calling prospects). I am having small amounts of SUCCESS, which will lead to MASSIVE SUCCESS.

I want you to look at the resource page, NOW. Go ahead I’ll wait. Glad you made it back. HOW CAN I SERVE YOU TODAY? This is my sharing with YOU. I hope you get encouraged to take the 1st step and never look back. Ask questions, we have the answers. We are a FAMILY here. COME BE A PART.

You already know how to show up for work daily, right? Show up here and learn from some of the best marketers. They will help you to money in your pocket.

I know from experience, they have done it with me, by showing me the WAY.

IT’S BEEN HOW LONG ?

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

On the black sea highway, I find myself wondering HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE? Have You felt that way?

I’m your trucking host with the most, Michael the Traveling Trucker.

We hear” ARE WE THERE YET?” Most of the time the answer is NO, and we become impatient, dissatisfied, and rebellious, for it takes too long for things to happen.

I set up a new lead capture page, sent it out, and got immediate results. The contact was made and we had a good conversation. My prospect came to the Telegraph room and RobG took over. Through his leadership, an upgrade was made.

He shared with me, my prospect has been a part of the business since 2010 but had not logged in since 2015. How’s that for the long term? A 5-year HIATUS.

As ENTREPRENEURS, we never know which key will unlock the door for people to walk through, coming into our business world.

I heard Jon Olson say, He bought some crypto and forgot about it for years. Then he talked with a friend and was told the crypto he had was huge.

Strive to do your best each day. People you talk to might not be ready today, so you move on. They stay silent in the background, always watching. Then time goes by. When the time is right and they contact you, saying they are ready.

Most of the people aren’t ready, just looking they say. NEVER COUNT ANYONE OUT. Timing is everything, so be prepared to wait. Work with those that want what you have.

Why waiting is beneficial and has beneficial factors. Priorities become clear. It produces Productive habits.

Tolerance and empathy helps people to wait and is a great humbler. A humble person is aware of the struggles of others and can empathize with their troubles. In short, waiting can make you a better person.

Once you bend your head around the fact that waiting is your friend, and not your enemy, some important things will shift in your head.

Instead of being frustrated by delays, you can be grateful for them, make the most of each one and soar through your time of waiting.

On the other side of it, you will see how much has been grown in your character even though it felt like nothing was happening at the time. Now that is something to be grateful for.

Please watch this video, it’s my fun time on Camera.

What a way to start the day. Over 5 million dollars. This is the value of a painting sold at auction for “Portrait of Juan De Pareja”. The value of art is determined by the QUALITY of the work, by who the ARTIST is, and by what the ART says.

This is a great day for another life changing adventure with Michael The Traveling Trucker.

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

You were created as a MASTER PIECE by the greatest and most loving artist of all, GOD.

You are more valuable than any painting or machine that man has made.

I pray you just “BELIEVE”. If you don’t , let me believe for you, hold your hand, show you a small glimpse of what God has given you. This is a story of a Father who loves you so much.

A lot of people don’t believe, and that’s ok. You choose today, LIFE or DEATH?

Most will choose LIFE, so that tells me you really want something more and YOU have every right to have it.

So where do you start, where else but at the beginning. You determine where the story begins and ends, for it is YOUR adventure.

You are not just a FACE in the CROWD. You have a loving purpose, so show your best side. It’s also ok to show your bad side because we all have a good and bad side. That makes you real and human.

What do you want to do today in your life story? Are you writing your life book? Composing your life song? Dancing your life dance? Painting your life portrait?

HERE IS YOUR SEED, GO PLANT IT INTO THE HEARTS OF EVERYONE YOU MEET. SHOW YOUR PASSION FOR LIFE. IT’S NEVER TO LATE TO SHINE.

POUR OUT YOUR LIFE INTO THOSE AROUND YOU

THE FUTURE AND THE UNKNOWN

Welcome all my CB talking, business gear jamming, network relocators. This is Michael The Traveling Trucker.

Yesterday is GONE, TOMORROW is not promised. That leaves TODAY. As our minds explore the possibilities of our future, do we pursue the unknown with fear or rise up in FAITH?

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

Being a trucker, I am quite familiar with the unknown. I get dispatched to places I have never been to before. Yes, I have my trucker GPS and yes it gets me to where I need to go, most of the time.

I have had a road closed and have had to find another way around, and the GPS is not helpful. It wants to put me on a car route. Does fear rise up or faith rise up?

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

Most outside people will never understand what you are trying to do. Their opinions and attitudes will NEVER define who YOU ARE. Choose today, to quit listening to the TOXIC people.

In your mind’s eye, WHAT DOES YOUR FUTURE LOOK LIKE? Do you hold the world in your hands? Do you look at the problems or look for the answers?

What books are you reading? Who are you listening to, so your business will GROW? What do you flood your mind with on a daily basis?

It’s time to rise up. Tell your SPIRIT, Today Is My Day. I will not look back, back up, or give in. The business highway is before me. It’s time for a mind-blowing road trip. Buckle up, switch gears, and burn rubber.

Michael’s favorite saying,” You have two choices when you wake up in the morning, be happy or sad. There are enough sad people in the world without me being one.

PREPARATION FOR PURPOSE

What a ride this has been. Greetings and salutations from Michael The Traveling Trucker.

Impossible, Possible, Attitude, Positive

Looking back is always perfect vision. It’s easy to look at where we have been and realize what choices we should have made or paths we should have taken.

It’s easy to miss the lessons of life that God is teaching us through constant challenges. Within the context of those challenges, we find valuable life lessons that must be learned.

So do you show up daily? Do you do your best for this day? Today is all you have, so let us DREAM BIG, TAKE ACTION and FOLLOW UP and FOLLOW THROUGH.

What is your biggest challenge? Mine is connecting to people. Being a driver, I have drive days that keep me driving all day and part of the night. I don’t get the opportunities as often as I like for my phone calls, texts and emails. I will do my best today. I will show up. I will make those calls.

Building a business is really a 2-5 year plan. You will have high’s and low’s. I see through observation of my leaders, they are consistent in all they do.

Here is a great interview with Rob Gehring, Hosted by Lisa M Gentile. Rob describes his daily routine. Click here to watch the video.

Describe your daily habits. What do you start with, and where do you end your day?

I start with my blog, Phone calls are next, with texts and emails second. I jump on the advertising wagon, shooting those arrows. I read and comment on different post, upvoting at every opportunity.

As we build our following, remember it’s all about PEOPLE. Be kind, lead with passion, love with a grateful spirit. Be willing to give your ALL. The reason I’m here is my mentors have shown such love, passion, and commitment to me. For that, I’m eternally grateful.

I will be all God has called me to be. I will continue to learn, make mistakes and sometimes fail. I will have GREAT SUCCESS at the end of the day.

How To Get The Right People To Open Your Email

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

Welcome Saturday Truckerettes, This Is Your Host, Michael The Traveling Trucker.

I’ve been studying lately how to get the right people to open my emails. I have to say some of the info was eye opening and thought provoking.

Let me ask this question, What is your open rate? When you track and split test, what are your results?

The average email open rate is 21.33 percent. Keeping track of your results is vital. This shows what works and what doesn’t. If you don’t belong to Hits Connect, click here. This is a great site for tracking your results.

To get people to open your email, start with a benefit: People feel good when they know they will benefit from you, It will give people the incentive to open your email. Say something like: How to triple your social media following.

When you create CURIOSITY, people are really tempted to open your email. Write something like: What Does reading have to do with success or what to do if some falls down?

USE NUMBERS: Users understand what’s in store for them when they click an article. It’s about clarity, helping them to manage their expectations. Example, Why 90% of marketers are doing it wrong?

Borrow Credibility: People love to know what well-known people think, give advice, or talk about how to solve a problem.

HERE IS A COOL SITE I FOUND:

The #1 Free Headline Analyzer

Write Headlines That Drive Traffic, Shares, And Search Results

https://coschedule.com/headline-analyzer

Here are some things to meditate on:

Test Different Email Subjects, Testing Different Times and Days Of Send, Testing Different Email Frequencies, Testing Different Sender Emails, Testing Different Email First Lines.

Tease the value and benefits of opening and reading the rest of the email. Make them fearful of missing out, make it impossible for them to resist the urge to delve a little further.

In closing, Will you share your secret email headlines with me? What your open rates are? I can always use all the help I can get. Leave me a comment now. I will respond back, to thank you.

TOUGH LOVE

I love you, I encourage you, I respect you, I challenge you. I don’t understand you. This is your favorite freight relocation engineer, Michael The Traveling Trucker.

You’re sitting at home, in front of your computer. You have reached a point where you want to earn some additional income. You would love some relief from the bills and not having enough of the daily things in life. You have penny pitched enough. So begins your delve into internet marketing. You look around, not sure what you are looking for. You see an ad like this: So you click, the click here now button.

Then it takes you to the New Member Registration page. Some fill it out while others who are skeptical go right on by. Some forms ask for your name, email, and phone number. At the bottom of the form, it says, if you don’t want to leave a number, place the number 5 in the box. This is where I don’t understand, why do people put a fake number in? If you don’t want the call back place the number 5 in the box. We respect your privacy. As someone building a business, this gives me false hope. When I see a number, I call it, then you hear, this phone number is no longer in service, mailbox full can’t except any new messages, or my favorite error 57, which means no number exists.

A BIG THANK YOU

Hello Everyone, This is your gear jamming, CB talking, Load moving, Michael The Traveling Trucker. What a joy it has been to build my online business. I say thank you to a number of people Janet, Blain, Jon, Rob, and all the members from all these groups, who comment on my blogs. These folks have guided me to expand my horizon, challenged me to learn, encouraged me to show up daily. All these people are instructing me on their tricks of the trade.

I’m learning about building a resource page. It was said “K.I.S.S”. Kept It Simple Silly. I have had to visit other sites to determine what to put on my resource page to make it look right, plus putting links to each picture. For some, this is childs play. I like it but a little slow getting it done.

I was asked if I checked my CTRs and ROIs on my advertising. I said the money was a little tight for the purchase of a solo ad. I would have to do some side work. Today I went to Hits Connect and the results weren’t that good. I will have to adjust how I’m doing my rotators and campaigns. At this point, I haven’t got a good grasp on keeping up with CTR and ROI’s.

Solo ads are fun. Looking at all the sellers at Udimi. I was taught early what to look for and to whom to stay away from.

From Eliana over at CTP:

Staying the course, from driving to the internet definitely has it’s challenges. I have to make myself get things done, when the opportunity presents it’s self.
