What Is Success? This is a poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson:
What is success?
To laugh often and much,
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived;
This is to have succeeded.
Here is my challenge to you. Come join us for your 7-day free trial. USE THE SYSTEM for those 7 days. Ask our leaders what works best and how to apply them to your business.
Build your LIST. Share this wonderful opportunity with everyone. Commit to as many hours as you can per day for those 7 days.
This is the best system, best people, and best training.
Most people are plodding along in their daily lives. They have an idea of what they can spend or what they can put on their numerous credit cards without making more money. They still want more, BUT are not willing to do anything to create more income.
For those willing. People can babysit, dog walk, housesit, deliver food, drive Uber, deliver phone books, or a host of other things. For those with a plan, you can make more money. It’s up to YOU.
For me, if I want more money I cut someone’s grass, pressure wash houses, do a yard sale. These are a few of my go-to items for making money.
18 months ago I can across Affiliate Marketing and decided to check it out and give it a try. Once into it, I said, I’m all in.
So why affiliate marketing? You make a commission selling someone else product. There is the Concept Of Passive Income. Affiliate marketing is one of the world’s most popular methods of generating passive income online.
Build your own brand, choose products that you love, create authentic content and you will be on your way to building a real source of passive income.
Imagine 8.2 billion dollars by the end of 2022. Do you want a piece of the action?
Four parties are involved in affiliate marketing: Affiliates: The promoters of the product, Product creators: The creators of the product, Networks: The networks managing the affiliates, Consumers: The end-users of the product.
An affiliate network acts as an intermediary between the merchants and their affiliates. An affiliate marketer is a person who promotes another person’s product or service for a commission. 10%, 20% 50% some 100%.
At the end of the day, before becoming an affiliate, you have to align your expectations to your earning potential. What kind of industry or niche you operate in, and what kind of work you do depends a lot on how much you want to make.
Some affiliates make a few hundred a week, some a day. I have seen firsthand some earn 100k per month.
Can you write a blog, detailing your product or service? Can you create your own product or service?
For me, I decide to promote GLN- Genesis Lifestyle Network. It is a complete done-for-you system. I earn commissions when someone buys a package from a link I promote. We sell digital education. You can earn a commission of 50,100,300,600,1200 and 2000 per sale depending on the package they purchase.
Food for thought: One 2000.00 sale per month. Extra 12,000 per year. That’s in your pocket commission. NOW BIGGER: 2 Sales Per Month-That’s 4k for the month. Extra 24k per year. Is it starting to make you dream BIG?
Included in your system is a downline builder for other products and services. Once you sign up, you will be given a link to promote that is assigned to you. You put the ending number into the downline builder and promote it. When people sign up under you and purchase a product or service you earn a commission. How cool is that?
Imagine 18 additional income resources at your fingertips to promote. It keeps getting bigger and bigger.
Here are a few actionable steps that you can implement and follow to become a successful affiliate marketer:
This is NUMBER ONE, Never Neglect Building Your List. This is your money for the long term.
Don’t give them all the information. Make them curious and what more.
Don’t Advertise The Product EVER. This is a BIG NO-NO. Use a capture page that creates wanting more from you so they reach out to YOU.
This one is CRITICAL: Be Familiar With What You Promote. Many don’t and lose people. People begin to ask questions and you have no answer for them.
LEARN FROM YOUR MENTORS. They have been through it, they can and will guide you.
Keep On Reading And Learning. This is a daily course of action. Leaders are readers. They keep learning and evolving.
Push Valuable Content To The Web. What you care about, share with everyone. There are others who will have some of the same interests as yourself.
Good Morning Everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker looking at myself and sharing my traits with you. We all have some of these traits shining through, but sad to say we don’t act upon them. Now is the time for action.
Have you been sitting in your car during RUSH hour? Do you wonder what it would be like not to be sitting in RUSH hour? Your mind drifts away to woulda, coulda land.
Is it possible to have a different lifestyle? YES, IT IS. What do you want?
Self-motivated describes someone who can motivate themselves rather than relying on another person. Do you do housework on autopilot because it needs to be done? Yep, self-motivated. Great, you have this trait.
Open-minded
Someone open-minded is willing to accept or learn about new ideas and opportunities. Someone invites you to a painting class. You go, but say, I don’t have any talent. You get to the class and the teacher looks at your work and asks how long have you been painting? See another trait. Great job.
Health-conscious
Entrepreneurs tend to lead healthy, balanced lifestyles so they can have the energy to operate their business ventures. You walk daily already, watch what you eat. You love to ride your bike. You are active with your spouse and children. Bingo- mark down another trait.
Creative
For example, an entrepreneur comes up with a unique marketing idea. They record a video series about entrepreneurship to drive traffic to their website. You have been asked to make posters for the bake sale. You go all out with colorful posters that catch people’s attention. The bake sale goes great. Another great trait to add to your list.
Humble
Entrepreneurs typically have a humble attitude because they understand the work that goes into creating and maintaining a successful business and how success can drop.
For example, a successful entrepreneur makes a point to respect others and show gratitude for their business. Three great examples for me are Jared, Janet, and Rob. Working close to these business owners has been rewarding in ways of coaching me, teaching me, and pointing me in the right direction.
You know if you are humble, so check off another great trait. Your list of traits is getting bigger.
Product or service knowledge
Entrepreneurs know what they have to offer and to whom they can sell it. You should continually learn about your market, understand what people need, and know the features that differentiate you from competitors.
This is a trait that you must develop over time and continue to deveop over and over. See you got this.
Goal mindset
Entrepreneurs are goal oriented. They know what they want to achieve. Setting goals and working toward them is a daily habit. You have decide to makeover your den. You set goals for painting, carpet, pictures hanging, and furniture. You give yourself 4 days to complete the job. Well done. You did it. Trait check.
Risk-taking
Entrepreneurs are ready to take risks. They plan for the unknown so they can make calculated decisions that are profitable for them and their business. You decide to set up your photography business. You don’t have all the answers but have the skills. You make a plan, take a deep breath and launch out into the unknown.
Your works begins to speak to the people and your phone begins to rings with offers or interest. See you are an ENTREPRENEUR. Well Done. I was a risk taker when I started my driving career. That was 27 years ago.
Thanks for letting me share these traits with you. I know you have been thinking about starting your own business. I believe in you and invite you to join me NOW at GLN. I look forward to working with you, so go ahead and click the GLN link.
Great day everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker with thoughts for the soul. I turned off the radio, CB, TV and sat listening to the sounds of the Universe whispering to me. Have you ever done this?
Just listening, not moving, taking in the love of the UNIVERSE?
What a beautiful symphony playing just for you and me. When we learn to sit quietly for a while, our thoughts become focused on what the Universe is telling us to do.
I love this statement,” Make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose”.
I really strive to be like-minded with those around me in life and business. For years I hung around negative people and I was negative. Today I choose to be around positive people. Being in tune with those around you can keep you grounded and focused.
Do you like HARMONY? There is something beautiful when you place yourself in that atmosphere. The sounds of life are at peace. Your spirit is resting and getting energized.
With life being hectic, how do you enter into your business with HARMONY? For me, it’s a choice. There is good in all of us and I choose to look for the good. The sounds of life will surprise you so look and listen for them.
This is an awesome statement. Please read it aloud and let it resonate in your spirit.
Positive thinking is not always easy and takes a lot of practice for most people. That is because if the mind has already been trained to think negatively, it needs to be retrained to think in a positive direction, which can be a long, arduous process. On the bright side, retraining the brain is possible and immensely beneficial.
Did you know there are health benefits to being POSITIVE? I never thought about this until about 5 years ago. I bet you didn’t know this either, right?
Positive thinking Encourages Stronger Relationships. Positive Thinking Brings Strength To The Body. Positive Thinking Creates Soundness Of Mind. Positive Thinking Helps Increase Self-Confidence. Positive Thinking Improves The Outer Appearance.
On a daily basis, try writing down positive comments in a journal. Participate in enjoyable things on a daily basis, like talking to friends, listening to your favorite music, writing from the heart to yourself or a loved one.
Think of a peaceful place – whether real or imagined – and mentally visit this place when feeling uneasy. I ask you NOW, to visit this place so often that it becomes automatic when feeling stress.
How may I serve you today, READER? What do you need that can make your life simple and enjoyable?
As a dad with grown children, I look at their lives and see the influence from my wife and myself. Yes I understand that I spoke both positive and negative to them. Which is the most dominate? Only time will tell.
Love is the ANSWER. Hug them. Sing to them,( even if it embarasses them), kiss them, make them a meal, send a card, draw hearts on paper and put it in their pocket.
How do you show this same love in business? Send them a training video, get them on a one on one call to encourage, help them make a landing page, send them a book you wrote( Get Stuck On Happy by Janet Legere) which is what my mentor did for me. Best book ever.
Business is BUILDING A STRONG DAILY RELATIONSHIP. Get to know people. See what makes them excited, smile, tell a joke, share a good time from their past.
People need to know you care, so show THEM.
I pray you use some of the suggestions I wrote about. This is my love for you.
Hello Everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker. I have some great things to share, sit back and keep your pen and pencil handy.
As I build my business, learning the in’s and out’s has taken some time to figure out. I love having more than one mentor who is willing to point me in the right direction.
How do you talk to prospects? There are several skills involved beyond your ability to speak to someone else. Great prospect conversations require some research, confidence, and focus on building a relationship. Don’t get caught up in making assumptions, hitting all your points, and selling to the prospect.
Know that Prospecting is Not Selling. Prospecting is about locating, connecting, and then building a relationship with potential prospects, who in time will naturally move into your sales funnel.
Be friendly, confident and share time with your prospect getting to know them and how what you have will improve their lives.
Are you offering bonuses and deals? This is a value for those looking at your business. People join when they know you are here for them and getting a good deal.
For most affiliate businesses it is crucial that they are able to pull maximum leads towards their website.
Finding consistent leads for your business can be the difference between growing a successful business… and crashing and burning. Sales lead generation techniques are critically important to keep your business afloat.
I love our coop shares for 50.00 per share for any business you are promoting. This is consistent month after month.
How to Email Leads to Gain Interaction? The first part of gaining interaction with your email leads is to make it personal. Saying something personal in the message to them about their dog, cat, where they live, etc. People don’t normally care to respond to something sent in mass so DON’T DO IT.
Use Posture When You Email Leads. Use something like this:
Hey There, I see that you are seeking financial Freedom in 2021 in Washington DC. I love Washington, took my kids there once and we had a blast, actually watched the fireworks in front of the Whitehouse on the 4th of July. Anyway, listen I am working with and always looking for sharp people to share our project we have going on with and I would love to chat with you. This is something that might not be a fit for you or it could possibly be a great fit, won’t know until we chat. Is there a time we can hop on the phone for 5 minutes to discuss?
Pretty cool, huh? Use what fits your personality. An email response that would lead to a phone conversation.
Follow these rules about emails. Don’t send an unsolicited link. Boost your attractiveness by being postured. Seek interaction, not a signup. Be personal, they should be unable to tell if it is a mass email.
How do your Social media campaigns look? Are you using specific keywords and topics? This helps you optimize your social media campaign to attract more customers to your website.
I use certain words to tell my story, being a trucker. I use travel, making money, and family time. Use what you know from your personal experiences.
Content Marketing is something you get from your Blogs, infographics, and eBooks. Find ways in which you can share content on your website. What is your content focused on?
I use everything I have learned over the last 18 months. Talking is fun, exciting, and very rewarding.
Here is my personal invitation for you to see what we have. Click Here.
I’m going to talk about my faith, so please meditate on this for a while, then speak your thoughts.
We are to put our words into action. Joshua 1:8 ” Study this book of instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.
Speak words of life out loud to the UNIVERSE. Do this day after day.
Prosperity has gotten a negative view in the church and world. Many people believe prosperity has a lot to do with big houses, big cars, and big bank accounts.
PROSPERITY means WHOLENESS, COMPLETE, NOTHING LOSS, and WHOLE.
Now let’s study the word SALVATION: It means wholeness, complete, nothing loss, and whole. So these two words in the BIBLE mean the same identical thing.
I love being WHOLE, COMPLETE, NOTHING LOSS, AND WHOLENESS.
The question is who wants their household to have good success and prosperity?
The answer is everybody. If you want to have a successful family, a successful business, to be a successful employee, and to have success and prosperity in every area of your life, you have to base your life on the word of GOD.
I know there are people who the world says are successful without believing in God. If we were to study them, how happy are they? Is there peace, joy, and happiness in their lives? Some yes, some no. It really depends on the person.
I have met people who are respectful, happy, enjoy helping others and do not believe in GOD.
It is everyone’s right to choose how you live your life. I respect this deeply. Even though I would want everyone to believe in God, I don’t force anyone. I talk to everyone as a friend.
When there’s a limited number of minutes available in a life, each one of them is worth more than if they were endless. In other words, time becomes a valuable “commodity.” USE IT WISELY.
It forces us to act. Knowing we can’t postpone things forever motivates us to actually get them done at some point. Every procrastinator knows the importance of deadlines and of feeling the pressure of that coming due date.
Since we’re all on the Ultimate Deadline, DEATH forces us all into taking action as soon as possible.
It makes us appreciate time
The moment we realize how valuable each minute is, we begin to appreciate rather than take them for granted. So not only is every second, minute, and hour worth more, but it counts for more as well. It’s because we know time is limited and that we can even worry we might be wasting it.
Focus on the positive.
To find long-term happiness, you need to retrain your brain from a negative mindset to a positive mindset. Try these things: Spendone to two minutes looking for positives in your life. Do this three times a day for 45 days, and your brain will start doing it automatically.
I am going to start doing this myself for the next 45 days. I challenge you to join me.
Live in the moment.
Our thoughts and feelings often revolve around the past or the future. Reality is what you are experiencing in this very moment; what you are going through right now. Sometimes we want to escape that reality. But when we stay in the present, we are fully engaged in our lives.
I am studying great men and women of success. Hello Everyone, This is your tried and true friend, Michael The Traveling Trucker once again at your service.
What makes a man or woman successful is the question to ponder.
Do you long to be one of them? Great news, it’s simple and yes you can be a success.
In his book, Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill, wrote from his experience, his numerous experiences, and the experiences of America’s most successful.
This is NOT A THEORY of how to think and grow rich. This book is NOT written to entertain. You can’t digest the contents properly in a week or month.
It is a textbook on individual achievement. It is the experiences of hundreds of Americas most successful men.
Here was my light bulb moment, it’s not just about making money, it’s about a better way to live a rich life.
Here is my challenge READER, read this book. Those who do will get the most out of it by putting into practice the Master Mind principle described in the book.
After you read this book, you will be in the presence of great men like Charles Schwab, John D. Rockefeller, F.W. Woolworth, Woodrow Wilson, WM. Howard Taft, Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, Wilbur Wright, Theodore Roosevelt to name a few.
Is your desire so great, so deep that you stake your entire future on a single turn to get what you desire? It is your THOUGHTS that count. When you intensify your desire over a period of time, that which you seek will appear.
You must remain active during this process, ready until you get what you are seeking. Today I want you to ADOPT A DIFINITE PURPOSE and stand by it until it becomes an all- consuming obcession.
Sometimes opportunity comes in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat. This is why so many fail to recognize opportunity.
My mentor Janet, tells a personal story where she and her husband Don where leaders in a business one day with full-time income and the next day the business had closed it’s doors, and found themselves with zero income.
She could had said, “Oh well I failed “. Janet and Don DIDN’T let their thoughts rule them in defeat. Their desire was greater , so onward they went to even greater heights. Their mentoring style has helped thousands over the years to attain success.
One of the most common causes of failure is quitting when overtaken by temporary defeat. DON’T EVER QUIT. We have all been guilty of this at one time or another in our lives.
Today’s motto for you READER,” KNOW WHAT YOU WANT, BE DETERMINED TO STAND BY THAT DESIRE UNTIL YOU REALIZE IT“.
Study, put into practice what you study and study some more. Keep the cycle going.
Here is my invatation for you to join me. Come study GLN. Gleen the best information on the internet from our Done-For-You-System
I’m a successful affiliate marketer. I bring joy to those around me. I share sound business practices, upbeat positive reinforcement coaching.

Good Wednesday to all, Michael The Traveling Trucker talking to myself, but you can listen. You might pick up a golden nugget of positive.
If you are reading this, don’t forget today’s webinar at NOON EST for core member training with Janet Legere. Her talk today is Positive Mental Attitude. Be here for this awesome training.
Training webinars will take place every Wednesday at 12 pm Eastern. All webinars will be recorded and placed in your online university in the beginner products under webinar recordings ****

Why is being positive and speaking positively to yourself so important? We are our own wrecking ball of self-destruction. We are hard on ourselves when we make mistakes.
Today’s exercise is all about being kind to yourself. You are the best you so talk it up. Treat yourself with respect. I’m a winner. I’m getting everything I need to be done today. Today I focus on just one thing and that’s speaking positively to myself.
Self-Talk Can Be Tricky
Thoughts are the most powerful manifesting tool we have. They created your reality, and they can change it too–all you need is a little reminder to keep them flowing in the right direction!
Habit Of Positive Self-Talk: Be Aware Of “Self-Thought.”It’s easy to get caught up in your thoughts and start worrying about everything that could potentially go wrong.
I found that one of the most mundane ways to start a day is with a few minutes of sitting in silence and not thinking. I know it’s hard, but give it a shot until you master it. Your Goal should be around 12 minutes.
Watch Your Language: Your words are powerful. Take a minute to think before speaking negatively. You might be surprised by the effects of what you say on those who hear them!
Keep it Real: When it comes to manifesting and the law of attraction, it’s important to be kinder and gentler with yourself. Rather than denying that the mistake happened, try looking at what you could have done differently in order to avoid repeating this same error again.
Enlist a Friend: Your closest friends and loved ones can give you a good idea of how effective your mindset is in achieving what you desire most.
Ask them to rate, on a scale one- to -ten (one being negative and ten being positive), the attitude or speech patterns about life from any given time period. The answer might surprise you!
Be A Friend
Be more positive to others and you will be a better person for yourself.
My Final Thoughts On Positive Self-Talk
There are so many benefits to positive self-talk. Learning how to speak positively and encouraging words can help you achieve your manifesting goals in major ways, making it worth the effort!
What you say does make a difference in your life and the life of those around you.
Through books, we have a host of information that is being lost. Technology is useful but books still hold the greatest treasures of wisdom.
Here are some heroes of mine. John Bunyan, Fanny Crosby, Jim Elliot, Billy Graham, David Livingstone, Martin Luther, D.L. Moody, Samual Morris, John Newton, Charles Spurgeon, Corrie ten Boom, and Sojourner Truth.
These are men and women who touched a world lost without hope. They brought the love of GOD when the world needed a message. These people have written books that have lasted for 100’s of years.
The written word has the power to change minds and hearts. Deep within us lies the heart of a mighty warrior. Our message is still as strong as writers of years gone by.
What is your story, READER? What message are you sharing with the world?
“If I could tell you only one thing, it would be to figure out why you do what you do.”
YOUR STORY MATTERS.
People are drawn to your deeply-held motivation in a powerful way. Understanding and communicating your why will help you achieve your goals.
We all have a story that has made us who we are—a story that has shaped who we want to be in the world and how we want to impact it.
Here are some basic things that will help you put your thoughts down on paper:
TIME: It could be minutes or could be much longer than that. You will know when you find your WHY. Meditate on these things SLOWLY.
Buddies: Whether it’s your business partner, spouse, friend, or coach, you’ll need people to bounce your ideas off of and talk things through with. Identify people who will challenge you.
An open mind: You can’t decide what the outcome is going to be before you even start. Your outcome is determined by time, people, and hard work.
In my life “I do what I do so people can live full lives instead of just existing!”Michael The Traveling Trucker is more than being a trucker. My message is one of encouragement. Helping people from all walks of life, seize life to the fullest, instead of just getting by day by day.
Write Your Life Story for Yourself. Writing the stories from your life, you help yourself form a clearer understanding of who you are and how you got to where you are.
Write to Leave a Legacy. Your written life story can give family a book about who you are and where you came from.
I have always been a traveler. Sometimes I think myself as a vagabon. I share my story of being a drug addict and alcoholic. My story of overcoming both by the power of GOD and a wife who dearly loves me.
Raising a family while being on the road. Seeing my daughter grow into beautiful women. Sharing good and bad times with my sweet bride.
Sharing my blogs with the world, building my business with great mentors and coaches. People I have talked to on the phone getting involved with my business.
All these things are one big story that has been in the telling for coming up on 62 years. Sharing GLN is a part of the big picture. I invite you to join me and begin telling us YOUR story.
I’m an arrow, pointing people in the right direction. This is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Let me say for the start, all the info here is in your BackOffice.
When you call your lead, start off by asking if you are speaking with(person name)—-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?
Our main task here at GLN is to get people involved. Point them to the 7-minute video. Then ask if they are part of the Facebook and Telegraph rooms.
From there, they will get all the help they need, regardless of your experience. The GLN Team will work to “convert” your free member to a paid member!
KEEP PEOPLE MOVING FORWARD. Help keep them from going to the left or right away from their goal.
You should have your BackOffice script at hand. Everything will be at your fingertips. This makes you look professional.
Ask questions. Wait for their response.
I’m following up to see if you have any questions. Have you had a chance to log in to the member’s area yet?
If they answer no … Recommend they login, ask if they have time now.
If they answer yes … First things first, ask if they watch the video in the member’s area! Then ask if they have any questions about the program, did they start the 6 steps to setup their GLN system? Are they interested in moving forward with GLN, even at the beginner level?
Here are other questions to ask.
Did you watch the on-demand webinar after you filled out the form?
Wait for a response. Slow and steady.
Are you looking for a way to make money from home? WAIT.
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.
Even more questions to ask. 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
I hope this was helpful. This is my gold nugget. I keep it with me when talking to my prospects and leads.
