STUCK ON HALFWAY BLVD?

Hello Everyone. Michael The Traveling Trucker with another adventure on the road. It was ice and snow.

In business and personal life, are you stuck on HALFWAY BLVD? You have come to the intersection which is a T. To the left is dead-end alley and to the right is success 101 express.

Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/working%20together/

CLB, GLN, CTP, TL2IVM are four businesses that can help you move from Halfway Blvd to Success 101 Express.

I have been taught to pick one, give it my all, then in the background point people to additional income opportunities. FOCUS is vital to one business only until you master the basics, and make it a daily habit.

Daily habits become weekly, which turn to monthly, then yearly. Get hold of this concept. It will guide you the rest of your life.

In business, people get stuck on Halfway Blvd for a number of reasons. Afraid of the phone, not enough leads coming in, not investing in your business monthly, shiny syndrome- jumping from one business to another without any focus as to what makes it successful.

Puzzle, Planning, Strategy, Process

Just because you don’t see immediate results, doesn’t mean your business is not going in the right direction. IT TAKES TIME AND PATIENCE.

Being a leader is hard work. Branding yourself as the go-to person can be quite exhausting, but very rewarding. Successful leaders are available.

They spend time coaching, mentoring, teaching. Pointing people to where they need to go.

You must give yourself time to learn. However, it’s VERY IMPORTANT to apply what you have learned as soon as possible.

Last week on my coaching call, I said I was not getting people to respond. I was asked if there was a sense of URGENCY?

I started leaving a simple voice message, “This is Michael, call me it’s urgent”. It works because people called me back wondering what was so urgent. I told them their financial future for 2021.

Conference, Team, Office, Dining Tables

What point in your personal life or business are you stuck at? Remember that in business, we are here to help each other. When one succeeds, it brings value to the community as a whole.

Investing in people in a positive way, helps them to grow. My mentors help me to see when I get off course and guide me back to where I need to be. This is ALWAYS done LOVINGLY with great respect for both of us.

I love it when I hear” does that make sense”? If it does I move on and if I need clarification, it is given.

What leadership skills are you showing? Share what is working with you, for you and for your team.

Get Off Halfway Blvd. Move onto Success 101 Express

ARE YOU ANSWERING THE CALL?

Hello Everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker is at HOME. Woot Woot.

Mensaje, Family, Lyrics, Quotes, Quotes

My life is NOT up for grabs. It’s not about me ” figuring it all out” and ” getting it all together”. This is about living a life of PEACEFUL surrender to the FATHER who knows how to care for me and longs to do so.

Because of my relationship with God the Father, I am on His mind night and day. He looks for ways to bless me and I find them through my family, church, my job, and my business.

Motivational Quote, Try And Stop Me

I am answering the call to spread the good news. Not only do I share my business with people, but I also have the privilege of sharing Jesus with everyone I come in contact with.

Every day we have so many opportunities to share our lives with people, through this business we call Affiliate Marketing. We can and will make a difference in the lives of thousands.

What do you think about most? How does it effect those around you?

How do you show your love, life and happiness? What makes you different from everyone else?

Have you shared your life story with anyone lately? What do you share with them? My mentor, Janet Legere share’s her book ” GetStuckOnHappy” Her simple approach to life is breathtaking and I enjoy acting on the techniques described in the book.

Notebook, Pencils, Quote, Reminder

It’s ok to talk to yourself. It’s ok to answer yourself. When you ask yourself to repeat the question-MIGHT BE A PROBLEM.

Stamp, Wood, Do Something Great, Saying

I’ve seen many people assume that what they are experiencing in life is simply their ” lot in life.” Don’t buy into that lie. Don’t see yourself as broken, beat down and defeated.

See yourself in pursuit of something greater than who you are, and be willing to pay the price to get where you want to be. Your past has a way of labeling you.

If you allow your past experiences as well as perceived shortcomings to define who you are and how you see your life, you will never see the breakthrough that GOD has for you.

You are what the word says you are and you have what the word says you have. Rise up this day and shout I AM DOING GREAT THINGS.

Board, Listen And Learn, Text, Quote

God gave you two ears and one mouth, so listen twice as much. There are those who can and those who can’t. They are both RIGHT.

Don’t hold back any longer. Give it all you have, then go take a nap.

If you have not read this book, please do so. You will be blessed.

How To Promote Your Business?

Good Sunday, Michael The Traveling Trucker here. Today I got to read some wonderful information on how to promote your business on Facebook.

A BIG shout out to Mike Dodd. Thank you Sir.

Mention:https://www.123rf.com/stock-photo/problem_solving.html?sti=lbkqc46probb3pgue8|

Never promote your business 1st, PROMOTE YOURSELF. Give a little background of who you are. Remember a nice picture of yourself goes a long way. If you can do a video, this would be even better. People love watching videos.

I would like to share some of the highlights. With all the groups out there, you should focus on High Ticket Affiliate Marketing. People love to make money and High Tickets Items do sell.

People who are newbies to Affiliate Marketing Always need help. HELP them.

You have a very large number of MLM groups.

Do a search on Affiliate Marketing. You will be surprised at how many groups there are. Join a few of these groups. Interact with these people.

Facebook has an activity wall where people ask questions like: How do I?, What Do I?, and Where Do I? These are signs people need your help with fixing their problem.

When people post a question, Send them a private message. Simply reply to their question. Tell them to check their inbox. You have sent them the answer or a way to get the answer they are looking for per private message.

This is warm lead marketing Folks. This tells them, they have a way to get the answers they are looking for.

People will reach out to you, when they do, share the answer with them, and invite them to join your business.

Don’t be afraid to let people know you don’t have all the answers, but invite them to join your business to get all the answers from the leaders. This helps people to know, like, and trust you.

Finding leads should not be a hard task. Ask people to join your team. Remember if you don’t ask, people will never join you. Leads quite often turn into sales.

There are so many many on Facebook that could and should use your help. BE A PROBLEM SOLVER. People need what you have, SO SHARE WHAT YOU HAVE.

PEOPLE ARE YOUR BUSINESS. TREASURE THEM

How Much Does It Cost?

Hello Everyone. Michael The Traveling Trucker with a thought provoking question.

How much does it cost? As Business owners, we hear this question a lot. The next is: How much have you earned?

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

You main goal is to BUILD YOUR LIST. Without people you don’t have a business.

When we as entrepreneurs thought about starting our businesses, the question did come up as to the cost. I didn’t hesitate about the amount because it was low compared to some.

My really big investment was over 40,000.00 to which I lost do to the FCC shutting down this business I was involved with.

It takes an investment into yourself, your brand, to make a difference in the business world you are creating.

The cost of doing business depends on a wide variety of factors, including the cost inputs of goods and services.

Analyze what costs your business needs to incur to get started and operate for a given period of time.

Training, Businessman, Suit, Manager

I have learned you NEVER ask how much someone makes. It doesn’t matter because, I might make more with the same information as they have. My success only depends on the amount of work I put into my business.

I am a leader, who teaches, instructs and guides people to where they need to go, not necessarily where they think they need or want to go. As a leader, I was taught what to say, how to say it, what is working and what is not.

A prime example was my mentor tweaked her lead capture page because she was not getting the results she was hoping for. Now it is kicking butt.

Skills, Can, Startup, Start Up

So why do so many people look at what we are doing and run for the hills? Some will, some won’t, so what, work with the ones who want to build a dynasty. There are so many looking, so be the best problem solver ever.

What makes us different from what others are doing? We have the #1 done for you system. Leaders who are ALWAYS willing to work with you. We have a downline building system, that gives you multiple streams of income.

Accountant, Accounting, Adviser, Advisor

So go ahead and calculate the cost. What is your LIFE/ BUSINESS worth? Is it worth your time? Your money?

How much do you invest going to work every day? Gas for the car, maintenance, clothes, food, your peace of mind sitting in traffic?

How much money do you make? What type of vacation can you go on? It depends on how much money you can spend from what you can save.

Here are the FACTS: You can start for $50.00 or for the best deal $1200.00. This gives you everything. You can buy Co op shares for 50.00 a month. You can look into solo ads which are about $40.00 and up.

I bless you in the name of JESUS. You deserve to be successful. You deserve the best LIFE has to offer.

You are ANOINTED to win,

Empowered to PROSPER,

Impossible to curse.

Your Are Of GREAT WORTH

Are You Rude By Pushing?

Hello Everyone. Michael The Traveling Trucker is live and riding the roads. As a trucker, people who tailgate, we call pushers. They are rude, crude and socially unacceptable people.

Mention: https://startupnation.com/grow-your-business/pull-dont-push-sales-marketing-in-the-new-economy/

As kids we’re all taught that pushing is rude, Yet for years salespeople have been trained to “push” for the sale…

Goal Setting, Goal, Dart, Target

Let’s face it, while everyone likes to buy, nobody likes to be sold—especially something we didn’t really want or need in the first place. 

Do you want people to buy from you again and again? You MUST provide real value. In this new economy, that means being genuine, putting yourself out there, and offering meaty information that helps them solve their problems or achieve their goals.

What is your GOAL as an Affiliate Marketer? What Say You, My Lord?

Keep providing tons of value. You then create lifelong customers and raving fans who not only buy from you again and again but refer others as well—without you ever having to “push” for the sale. What’s not to like about that?!?

I believe, as I lead people through my writing, phone conversations, text messages and emails, People will respond to recommendations to buy programs, E-books , hard bound books or anything that will solve their problems.

As the saying goes” know, like, and trust”. Be your brand, who you are, not what your business is selling. Be the Go To expert, a real problem solver.

Have you made a video of who you are? What your brand stands for ? Videos are another easy way to offer valuable info and create a personal connection with prospects.

ONLINE FORUMS is a great resource. Surf social networking sites that your target market frequents and look for a Q&A forum. Find questions related to your area of expertise and jump in with helpful answers.

Keep pulling prospects in with even more of your wonderful wisdom via useful articles, worksheets, quizzes, etc.

Be sure to offer a free report, audio, or video download in exchange for their email address so you can stay in touch and keep helping them achieve their goals until they’re ready to buy.

People will be thrilled with all the powerful information and advice you provide they’ll want more. And they’ll already know, like, and trust you so they won’t hesitate to make a purchase.

Just be sure you always include your web address (URL) in everything you do, so people know where to go to learn more. Before you know it, eager clients and customers will be coming to you.

I hope this was helpful. I Now ask for you to review my resource page at the top of this blog. Go NOW and see why I’m thrilled to share a piece of me with you.

You got it-It’s called being a LEADER.

Bring VALUE To Your People

They are hungry for more of life and see your business as a way of getting them where they want to be.

You are building your tribe and people will begin to listen to what you are saying. Question? Are you sending an email right away when your lead comes in?

Do you let them know that a text or call is coming next, so you can get to know them? Don’t forget you include your personal information. This is IMPORTANT: Ask Them To reply, Just say,” Please let me know you got this so we can connect.”

Always end you message/email with a question or give them a task which lets you know they got your message. PLEASE don’t assume people will know what to do.

You must lead them through the task.

When you are on a call or chat, what do you do? I’ll wait. Did you ask questions? Did you ask lots and lots of questions? This is how you get to know the people you want in your business.

At some point in your conversation, you have to determine if you want to continue with this person. We all know there are time wasters, want it for free, no budget type people. This is well and good, just direct them to the CLB for learning and move on.

Have a list of questions to ask, but PLEASE don’t make it sound like an interview. Just let it flow as you get to know them and find their pain point. This is how you find out, how to help them.

Follow up on your Cold Emails : Why & How I Smartreach

Business is for paid members. People who invest in themselves will build a strong foundation for others to follow. Yes, IT TAKES MONEY.

When you are on the call, your JOB is to find out if they are serious. Ask them, “After you signed up, did you watch the video?” If they said no, ask if they can go watch it now. Can they sign up for the free account NOW?

You will see who is ready now, willing to take action NOW and who you will have to guide and direct. Send them your link and tell them to go watch it now if possible. If they said yes, they watched the video, ask if they set up their free account.

Make it as simple as possible for you and them. It’s only the beginning, so don’t make it a marathon. Easy peasy, nice and easy.

As you learn, pass along what you learn ASAP. It really makes you look professional and a leader.

Now go thank Janet on your own. Let her know how much you are learning and how much she is loved and appreciated. I tell you from my heart she is a great value to me and I cherish her as my mentor.

How To Become The Go-To Problem Solver

Good Day All, Michael The Traveling Trucker. Are YOU a problem Solver?

Do YOU see the answer in difficulties , a chance to learn or do you fret, worry and let doubt seep in?

What makes a GOOD PROBLEM SOLVER? Take time right NOW and think about what problems you have going on in your life. Do you ask for help when needed?

Are you able to write out your problems, then go over them point by point?

Mention: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/problem-solving_b_4302935

Who do you see as a great problem solver? What skills do they possess?

They use the power of words to connect with people: They are socially well developed and find ways to connect with people and try to find happy-middle solutions. Does this sound like YOU?

If you could identify creative solutions to those problems that you think are hopeless, how would your life be different?

If you could take your biggest struggles–whatever they may be–and find an option that gets you through them, what would that be worth to you?

One of the biggest problems people have when it comes to problem-solving is not getting detailed enough about the problem–not going deep enough into the whys and hows. The more you know, the more you grow.

People who succeed in business explore ways and options to being the best PROBLEM SOLVERS.

questions problem solving tools

Being a great problem solver is connected to having a growth mindset.

Being a creative problem solver can help you get out of difficult situations. It can help you avoid negative consequences, make you better at your job, and create better opportunities for you.

They don’t create problems for others: Good problems solvers who create fair solutions make a conscious effort not to harm others for a self-interest intention. 

Advice, Answer, Attitude, Background

They explore their options: They see more than one solution to a problem and find new and productive ways to deal with new problems as they arise. This always been my wife Regina’s attitude. Look at the problem from every side.

Point out every solution, point by point and see what fits best.

They do prevention more than intervention: They are more of a positive thinker ( Janet Legere) so naturally, they are surrounded with more positivity and have more energy to be productive.

Do You Miss The Lessons In Life?

Banding my head against the wall is normal for Michael The Traveling Trucker.

There are days I don’t even know my own name so to speak. People tell me things, sometimes I listen and sometimes not. Can you relate?

Mention: https://www.gettyimages.com/photos/missing-bus

We have all missed the bus at some point in our lives. Been late. Been miserable in the process. The RAT RACE at it’s worst.

Being a trucker has given me insight into a number of things. Meeting people and talking to them about their life and how it could change if they are willing.

What is one thing you really, really , really want to change in your life you know needs to change? Is it how many hours you work? Lack of quality time with family and friends? Not having enough money? Need repairs around the home place?

As we start our journey, please take notes. Leave yourself sticky notes. Leave an encouraging message to yourself on your phone.

I know from my own journey in life there comes a point where all you have been doing IS NOT SATISFYING ANY LONGER. You dream of better days ahead. You tell yourself, there has to be a better way.

If you are serious about being an ENTREPRENEUR-FIND A MENTOR. I have two who speak into my life to help me gain from life’s lessons. Always point me to my end goal, even when I don’t know what the end goal is.

Kool thing is they DO. They have been down the road long before I got here.

Lesson 1– Go to my resource page at the top. Look around. See what’s of interest.

Lesson 2– Take 5 minutes right NOW- Write down what you want. This is the groundwork for everything else. This step will guide you from now on.

Lesson 3–Remember I said find a mentor? This should be someone who will guide you and push you out of your COMFORT ZONE. Show them what you have written down. It’s called accountability.

Lesson 4–Find something of interest that will make you want to do this everyday. It must be enjoyable, fun and easy to share.

When you start believing in the little things, believing everyday that they will happen, something wonderful happens. Your heart grows strong, your spirit is sensitive and your mind dreams of glorious days of sunshine and laughter.

When you look back to see all the little things, you notice some really BIG things got accomplished.

I hope you copy this post. Put it on your wall. Keep a copy in your car. Read it EVERY DAY and say-“I CAN DO THIS”.
