Sharing The Responsibilty

Greetings from Michael The Traveling Trucker. How do you share the resposibility for successful communication?

The process of communication isn’t complete without both speaker and a audience. Speakers can send messages, but if the listeners don’t do their part by listening and providing feedback, the process is incomplete.

The last webinar you listened to was who and what was the topic? Effective listening benefits both speakers and audience members. By listening before the speech, the speaker can pick up the audiences needs. Great speakers have this trait before each webinar by opening up the room early.

There are four types of listening. content, critical, empathic, and appreciative listening. Content listening helps you understand the speakers message. Critical listening helps you both undertsand and evaluate the meaning of the message. Empathic listening helps you understand the speakers feelings and viewpoint. Appreciative listening helps you enjoy the speakers message and delivery.

The five factors of listening are: attending, interpreting, remembering, evaluating, and responding. We all must have these skills if we are to move forward in our businesses. This should help you in all areas of your life.

In our business world we have two people who do an outstanding job on presenting webinars. Rob Gehring and Janet Legere. These leaders fill our hearts and minds with practical teaching which should be put into your businesses immediately.

We all have a part in the big picture so learn these skills and perfect them over time. Do you believe you could do a webinar? If your answer is yes, have you done one. If no is your answer, why not? Pick a topic, research it, then show your findings. Easy peasy.

I have not done one yet. I have a vast video collection on Youtube, which goes with my blogs.

Listening is a big part of every conversation

People Are Your Priority

Hello and welcome. Michael The Traveling Trucker say’s enjoy making friends. Yes it can be difficult to make friends but well worth the conversation.

Building your list is your number one GOAL. It’s not just getting people on your list though. It’s building a relationship that will benefit your people. Letting them know you can be trusted and helping them all along the way until they feel they can do it on their own.

Having a good product and service is also important. Will it benefit your people? What value is it to them? Having several products for them to choose is smart. Be aware people are skeptical. Don’t try to sell them. Lead and guide them through the system. Let the system you have in place convince them.

Instead of giving advice, we can guide people to find their own answers through a combination of listening and asking questions. Asking “What is the real challenge here for you?” followed by “And what else?” helps people focus on the most important problem they are trying to solve.

So what is a good way to guide people to where they’ll stick? Guide people based on a starting point. Guide people based on life stage. Find out as much about themselves as they will offer in your conversation.

Listening is key to understanding your people. You have two ears and one mouth. So listen twice as much as you talk. Help someone to think about a problem more clearly leaving room for that person to arrive at their own insights and make their own decisions—so that they have more “ownership” of potential solutions.

Your role is to get people to think for themselves by guiding them with information they don’t have. The great temptation of leadership is giving answers instead of guidance. Guidance shows respect, builds confidence, and enables action. People come to you looking for specific answers. Give them guidance instead.

Guidance enables thinking. “Now that you have some broad principles to consider, what’s your next step?”

Guidance clarifies responsibility. “What’s keeping you from making this decision?”

Leaders touch lives and hold destinies in their hands; it is a sacred calling with sacred responsibility. Remember who you are, your role, and who those that come to you are.

If you are looking for a done for you system, CLICK HERE. Working with you is my privledge. I look forward to it.

Guide them and get them to think for themselves.

Welcome To The Community

We are so glad you are here. We have been waiting while you made plans to get here. We have so much to show you, but I promise not to overwhelm you.

Pull up a chair and get a drink. It’s just friends talking and helping each other.

1st did you join the WOW app, if not click here. Are you looking to promote a business or start one ? TL2ICM is the best way to start.

We have a cool downline builder that gives you 20 + additional income streams. Just do 1 or 2 to start. I’ll be glad to guide you all along the way.

What does it mean to be in a community? A group of people with a common characteristic or interest living together within a larger society, a body of persons of common and especially professional interests.

Simply put, a community is a group of like-minded individuals who share an identity-forming narrative. In other words, it’s a friendship between different people — or a social unit — with a commonality such as norms, place, religion, values, customs, or identity. 

To be clear, community is not a place, building, or organization — it’s both a feeling and a set of relationships among people. Members of a community often have a sense of trust, safety, belonging, and caring for each other.

With that said I would be honored to have you in our community. Ask any question or share any idea you may have. I look forward to our 1st conversation. Have a blessed day ,week , month, year.

Will You Listen To A Billionaire

What a great time I had learning from the 6th richest man in the world. His insight is breath taking.

Michael The Traveling Trucker says never quit no matter your age.

Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/people%20reading/

Warren Buffet started investing when he was 10 years old and by age 30, he had amassed $1 million( in todays dollars, approximately $10 million.) Not to shabby– but a far cry from 116 billion.

By age 50, Warren was worth $300 million. After the age of 50, his wealth increased to 376 million, he fulfilled his dream of becoming a billionaire. Total assets of 1.4 billion. After completing 66 years of life, he earned 17 billion.

So what does Warren teach that we should listen to. Glad You Asked.

Tip One: Write clearly and second speak clearly. Warren says anyone can increase their value by 50% by LEARNING. If you have knowledge, yet not able to convey your point clearly to others, then your knowledge remains ZERO.

Invest in continous learning. Knowledge is the ultimate asset. Ok, pay attention: spend part of your day READING, LEARNING, and STAYING INFORMED IN VARIOUS MARKETS AND INDUSTRIES.

Invest in YOUR self-improvement. Building self-confidence and continously improving your skills. When you invest in yourself, you gain self-confidence, boldness, and resilience to face challenges head on and overcome them when you experience setbacks.

Invest in knowing your strengths. Understanding your unique capabilities can help you focus on areas where you excel.

This next one is HUGE: Invest in a support group. There is true value in seeking out MENTORS, PARTNERS, and FRIENDS who inspire and challenge you. My two mentors Rob Gehring and Janet Legere have the insight through time, experience and building successful businesses to impart this knowledge to others around the globe.

Most people don’t really listen though. They want to do it their way , which can be a disaster waiting to happen. Listen to what they say. Practice what they do and then fine tune it to fit your personality.

This is the BIGGEST ONE of ALL. INVEST IN DOING WORK YOU LOVE. When you love what you do, it doesn’t feel like work. Doing what you LOVE is a major contributor to true happines in LIFE.

Life is fast, ongoing and able to set you free. Embrace who you are, and who through improvement, can be all you were ment to be.

So what is next for you Dear Reader? I invite you to join me in the venture of YOUR lifetime. Click here to invest in yourself.

I look forward to working with you. Click NOW and I’ll see you on the inside.

Reading, Writing and Speaking clearly is your GOAL

Thoughts to Actions

How to turn your thoughts to actions sounds simple, but the truth is most people NEVER EVER put their thoughts into action unless it is self-centered on only their needs. I know this may be harsh but from my personal experience I was that self-centered person.

Welcome all, Michael The Traveling Trucker shares tips to become a people person.

Mention: https://www.azquotes.com/quotes/topics/thoughts-and-actions.html

“Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habit.” ~ Laozi

“Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one’s thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world.” ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

We have over 6,000 thoughts a day, many of which are ignored, partly because we consider them “invalid.”

Thoughts become more consequential for judgment and action as their perceived validity emerging from a wide range of variables, including incidental factors, is increased.

There are two types of validation (affective and cognitive) .Cognitive validation takes place when people are certain that their beliefs are correct. Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/positive%20thinking/

How to Manage Your Thoughts, Feelings, and Behaviors

New research helps explain how we can manage our brains and achieve our goals.

The only things we can control in life are our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. If we can manage those, we can achieve our goals and gain total success.

When I quit drinking I had to have a mindset each day not to drink. I did this each day for over 2 years to achieve the goal of not drinking. I had to apply this to quitting smoking. This mindset was for 30 days and on the 31st day this habit was broken . I still had to walk out each day with the mindset SMOKE FREE.

If we know how our minds work, we can be intentional about influencing our thinking and feeling patterns. We can evaluate reality more clearly, make better decisions and improve our ability to achieve our goals. 

How do our minds work? The terms “autopilot system” and “intentional system” come to mind. Let me explain. The autopilot system corresponds to our emotions and intuitions. Its cognitive processes take place mainly in the amygdala and other parts of the brain that developed early in our evolution. This system guides our daily habits, helps us make snap decisions and reacts instantly to dangerous life-and-death situations.

The Intentional System reflects our rational thinking and centers around the prefrontal cortex: the part of the brain that evolved more recently. The thoughts and actions we do habitually through time determines our destiny. I might fall and get a few bruises along the way, but if my habit is to get up one more time than I fall, my destiny will be one of success.

If I think positive thoughts and take positive actions toward my goals, my destiny can be one of joyful and uplifting, with moments of gleefulness. I might fall and get a few bruises along the way, but if my habit is to get up one more time than I fall, my destiny will be one of success.

Positive Mindset Is Vital To Keep You Balanced.

What Is Mental Clarity

Would you like to start each day with a clear focus on what you want to accomplish?  I know I would. Michael The Traveling Trucker with today’s hot topic.

Mention: https://www.freepik.com/photos/mental-clarity

Would you like to know that what you accomplish today will be accomplishments that meet your needs, desires, and life goals? Most of us have a mental description in our heads of what we would like to accomplish, yet without direction, daily game plan ( on paper) our thoughts get scrambled and we lose focus. So how do we get the Mental Clarity we desire?

Go for a Walk

Any form of exercise will clear your mind, but one of the most effective ways is to go for a walk- NATURES way of course. The very act of moving will put your mind into a more positive state, which will help you think things through more effectively.

Lemon Water in the Morning

Began by drinking lemon water every morning and you will be surprised how you will feal healthier, mentally clearer, and awake within twenty minutes.  When you feel healthy physically, you also feel mentally healthy.

Our mind and body work together. If we are physically ill, we don’t feel good mentally, and vice versa. When we feel energetic and alive, we feel fantastic, and our emotional feelings lift.

Plan Your Day the Night Before

When you start and plan your day the night before, you begin the day knowing what you want to accomplish. Most people never think about what they want to accomplish. 

Look at the Big Picture

Another way you can achieve mental clarity is by looking at the big picture. Have you ever felt like you were just ticking boxes? I know I have. We miss focus on what’s important and begin working on other peoples projects instead of our own.

Identify What Is Important to You

If you don’t know where you are going, how will you ever know when you get there? If you want to live your life to its maximum potential, decide what is important to you and do everything in your power to make it happen. When you know what you want and why you want it, you are 80% of the way there. The remaining 20% is the effort you put in to achieve it. The 80/ 20 rule is very accurate.

5 Key Self-Care Areas: These are sleep, food, water, exercise, and planning.

Jim Rohn taught: “Every day, stand guard at the door of your mind, and you alone decide what thoughts and beliefs you let into your life. For they will shape whether you feel rich or poor, cursed or blessed.”

One of the most potent ways to bring greater mental clarity into your life is to practice a consistent positive morning routine that focuses you on your day. Sometimes we need to unplug. Read a book, take a walk, drink your favorite beverage, watch nature-rain, snow, sunshine.

Journaling is one of the best ways to get mental clarity. When you see those thoughts and ideas on a page, you gain much more clarity on what they mean to you and what you can do about them.

In closing,  remove the toxic people from your life. You do not need them. Toxic people fill your world with negativity, confusion, and emotions that do not help you gain clarity about your life.

Are You A Leader Or Pleader

Once again Michael The Traveling Trucker brings up the strong questions.

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

Leaders present the information and lets the system work for them. They follow up and answer any questions by letting the system do the work. When you put people into the system and let the system train them, your job is to love and guide them to the next step.

Pleaders beg people to join their programs. They talk to much about themselves and never let the system work for them. They tell the people how much money they can make, while not making any themselves.

Leaders are trainers. The system has the best training. Point people to the right training and LET THE SYSTEM WORK.

Affiliate marketing is a win-win-win offer for all involved—but that doesn’t mean everyone will sign on.

Why should you use affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing has been proven to have a much higher return on investment than most other marketing strategies. One major reason for this is because your target audience will hear of your product or service from affiliates that are naturally positioned within their spheres of influence.

Affiliate marketers come in all shapes and stripes, but the ones that will work best for your course should demonstrate a knowledge of you and your industry, as well as an intuitive understanding of your target audience. These affiliates will be able to recommend your course with more authority, and bring in learners who are well-suited to your material.

Once you know your affiliate audience and have built a page tailored to their interests and needs, you shouldn’t hold back from making your program known. Publish it on your website, send emails to your professional contacts, and include the announcement in the footer of your emails. Convincing affiliates to market your course isn’t usually difficult, you just have to get the word out.

I hope this helps. You can be any one you want to be. Time and money, training and mentoring are at the heart of your business. Treat it with the utmost care.

Waiting Could Ruin Your business

Hello Everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker has procrastinated way to long and almost gave up. I’m glad for men and women who spoke into my life.

Mention: https://www.dreamstime.com/photos-images/email-list.html

DARING: IS THIS YOU?

Wouldn’t you want to use a marketing medium that you have full control over.

If yes, this is the control that an email list provides you with. Apart from your website, it is only your email list, which you have complete control over. Even if you have large communities on social media websites, you have to abide by the guidelines and the changes in the algorithm of the platform.

When it comes to email lists, you can migrate to another email auto-responder or handle your email marketing on your own. You have complete control over the data as well. It is one of the primary reasons why you should prefer building an email list over other marketing mediums.

Successful people have a few things in common. This may surprise you. We think there might be a set pattern for success. But there is one thing we have noticed: If you are going to be successful, you must take risks.

We have never known a successful person who did not come to the line or the edge. Oh, the line and the edge: Do I cross over or do I stay in the safety zone?Every successful person has been daring!

We are not talking about foolish things or throwing things to the wind. No, no, no! But yes, we are talking about getting out of the average person’s comfort zone. If you want to be above average, you must get out of your comfort zone.

And this average zone is where most people are. The financial rewards in life are usually determined by the risk that we take to have them. Most people who do well do so because they reach far.

How likely are you to wait in a line that stretches out the door? What about making your customers wait to long. First impressions matter: one bad experience can scare away a customer forever.

There are many excellent reasons to focus on customer retention: It’s up to five times cheaper to retain your current customers than it is to acquire new ones.

What is building a list in marketing?

List building is a process of developing a database of like minded people online who would be interested in the kind of products or services that your business offers. In other words, your list is your first and main market where you can hope to achieve the most success in selling.

What is the purpose of making a list?

Answer: Email lists are important because their the best way to connect with customers vs. social media.

It adds people to your programs and services. If you don’t have enough on your list, your chances are small to have an income coming in each month that will pay for the type of lifestyle you are tring to create.

Complete control over the list:

Wouldn’t you want to use a marketing medium that you have full control over.

If yes, this is the control that an email list provides you with. Apart from your website, it is only your email list, which you have complete control over. Even if you have large communities on social media websites, you have to abide by the guidelines and the changes in the algorithm of the platform.

Successful Way to Introduce Yourself 

If it’s something you wouldn’t want to read, chances are, the prospect won’t open it either.

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

Hello Everyone Michael The Traveling Trucker introducing myself to you and Your prospects.

To say that the average consumer is inundated by constant noise is an understatement. Businesses are trying to grab people’s attention via television, radio, billboards, subway signs, social media ads and text messages. The barrage is endless.

But as a business owner, you can’t stop your marketing efforts. One trick to ensure you don’t become part of the noise is to introduce yourself to a customer in an engaging and earnest manner. How you introduce yourself will depend on the situation and your role in the process.

What makes a good first line?

The first line of a story should create a sense of character, conflict, setting, mood, theme, or style — or any combination thereof. Most importantly, it should make the reader ask questions.

Tailor your greeting to the industry and situation. Make your first line about them. Explain why you’re reaching out. Provide value for them. Include a call-to-action. ( This step is vital so don’t forget to put it in. ) Say “thanks” and sign off. Follow up with them.

Sounds so simple, DOESN’T IT? For most, this is a scary process but it doesn’t have to be. It TAKES PRACTICE.

How do you introduce yourself to a prospective client example?

If you are not sure what to share, your name and title is a great place to start. If there’s an opportunity to elaborate, you can also share other details.

My name is [Name], the new [role] at [company name]. I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself and let you know how much I am looking forward to working with you. I’d love to get started on the right foot, so please don’t hesitate to reach out and set up a meeting to discuss getting started and expectations.

How do you introduce yourself in 4 sentences?

Sentence1: Greeting. A simple Good morning, Hello or something similar is okay. Sentence 2: Your name. “I’m Michael Lipsey” Sentence 3: Point of Connection. Sentence 4: Call to action (or conclusion) NOW WRAP IT UP.
