Making Connections 101

Building relationships and making connections are a big part of building a successful business. Our clients and customers need to feel they can trust us, that we can help them and that taking care of them is our #1 priority. Here are some "connecting signals" that let us know we are connecting with others and they are connecting with us.

*when people go the extra mile (providing great customer service and loyal, repeat clients)
*when people say positive, unsolicited things (make them feel good, they make you feel good)
*when people demonstrate trust
*when people express themselves (there's an increase in communication, no barriers)
*when people feel good about what they do (business owner providing great service, customer receiving great service)
*when people connect on an emotional level (build a relationship beyond good customer service)
*when people's emotional batteries are charged by being together (great motivation and inspiration)
*when people's effectiveness is greater than the sum of their contribution. (they impact and change lives)
*when people are accepting without reservation (unconditional love and support)


Want to advance?  It's simple, connect!

Re-Create Your Business

There comes the time when we need to ask ourselves, "Am I doing all that I'm supposed to do for my business?". I am sure that more times than not, we will find ourselves thinking we really are not doing ALL that we should. This is the perfect time for some Re-Creating! 

No, I am not trying to give you more work or add more to your already busy schedule. I am trying to re-focus you and get you on the track to success. Sure, we all tend to slide off the track from time to time, I mean, there is that thing called life....  So, my purpose is to help us all stick to it by re-creating our business.
How exactly do I suggest we do that? By simply sticking the prefix RE- in front of us!  :)
 RE- means to do it again. That's the key! DO it again. And again. And again!  Do it again!

Re-create your vision. Is your vision board old? Make a new one!
Re-examine your actions. Are they yielding results? Change them!
Re-commit to your business. Have you been slacking off? Prioritize!
Re-design your plan of action. What actions need to change in order to see results? Invent new ones!
Re-purpose your why and calling. Why are you doing what you're doing? Find those important things and find your pupose!
Re-define what needs to be done. What goals have you been setting? Have you been reaching them? Start goal planning!
Re-evaluate systems that may or may not work. Do you have a support system? What is working with your time management? Implement some changes and take out the negative!
Re-visit older training. Feel like you're stuck in a rut? We should always be in the process of learning. Go back to some beginner courses and refresh your mind and find that passion again.
Re-design yourself!  Need some motivation? Remember to take time for yourself, a fresh new look, wardrobe, a massage, work on yourself and feel excited to get out there and re-create your business!

Sometimes the jump start we need is all in re-producing what has worked!

Positive thoughts turn to positive actions which becomes a way of life. 
Go get it!  -Michelle Perez

Kick Rejection To The Curb!

Ah yes, the fear of rejection, the success stealer and number one reason for staying in that dreaded comfort zone! 

Take these tips and roll with them, the next time someone rejects you, remember to change your mindset and keep pushing forward!

1.  Re-frame your perceptions. Everyone gets rejected. You need to get past the No's in order to get the Yes's. Don't take rejection personally. You will find those that want what you are offering, you just need to find them!  Change your mindset!

2.   Clarify your mission. Believe in your product and your service and believe that you have something that people need and lives will change! Believe in the opportunity and find those that need it! Change your mindset!

3.  Take action! Make connections (new connections, re-establish older ones). Make 1 call per day and connect, share and grow!

4.  Re-enforce your activity. Celebrate your effort and actions, not your results. When you are constantly planting, blessing, sharing, working, acting and doing, you are entitled to celebrate it!

5.  Keep going!  Don't give up too soon. Be patient, focused and determined. Continue to share and offer, make new contacts, follow up,  and stay connected.

Plant your seeds, attend them and connect!

Procrastination: Friend or Foe?

It's not that we're lazy, it's that we buy into the lies, some call them excuses, that we tend to tell ourselves when it comes to succeeding in business and goal management. 
So, how can we overcome procrastination in direct selling? First, make sure you're aware of those lies/excuses you may offer at times, and then become aware of the characteristics of procrastination, and avoid them at all cost!

Do any of the following sound familiar? 
*I've got plenty of time and resources to reach my goal.
*I don't feel like it now, but I will later.
*I'm not in the mood now, I'll be more productive later.
*I've got too much going on, I can't make time for anything.

Yes, the list can continue, but I think we've all at least used one or more of these excuses, believed one or more of these lies, so I am sure it's alright if I just stop here. 
How exactly can we overcome procrastination in direct selling, especially when we believe these excuses to be true for our lives at any given time?
Well, we need to push through our circumstances, always remembering why it is we chose direct sales and our company; we need to push past the fear of taking on a task that our mind it telling us will cause fear, and we need to see it as an opportunity. I can discuss the importance of vision and goal planning and overcoming fear, which is all necessary, but more importantly, if we become aware of how procrastination works to deter our vision and goal, we will be able to overcome that and push through to reach our goals. 

Wikipedia defines procrastination as the practice of carrying out less urgent tasks in preference to more urgent ones, or doing more pleasurable things in place of less pleasurable ones, and thus putting off impending tasks to a later time, sometimes to the "last minute" before the deadline. 

When we talk about procrastination, we are in reality, talking about hesitation. Why are we hesitant to carry out a task at hand even it is less urgent or less pleasurable? Why to we tend to put off tasks instead of managing our time, no matter how busy we may be, and taking care of what needs to be done at a manageable time, avoiding us stress, anxiety and even guilt?
If we become aware of the following 8 characteristics of hesitation or procrastination, we may be able to fight them and develop time management skills necessary to accomplish our tasks in a timely manner and with the right positive attitude needed to achieve our goals of success!

Procrastination brings the following characteristics. Once we learn to deal with them, procrastination won't have a hold of us any longer. 

1. Ignorance. Ignorance lacks knowledge on how to do something. Sometimes because we don't know how to do the task at hand, it's easier to just put it off or say we can't.

2.  Apathy. Apathy lacks hope, belief and the drive to get things done. Take a moment to look around at your situation and if you lack any of these, then it's time for you to get back that motivation for your business. Contact your upline or director and let them know what's going on and they will help you get your drive back!

3.  Ongoing Motion. Inertia lacks time. Constant moving in a direction without a set time or planning will not necessarily get you where you need to go. 

4.  Boredom. Boredom lacks focus, it lacks the ability to pay attention and do the task at hand.

5.  Rush Addiction. This lacks energy. It usually means we wait until the last minute to get the rush of adrenaline to get the task done. This may impact results because we did not take time to work our plan correctly.

6.  Apprehension.  Apprehension lacks courage. We tend to fear meeting the goals and coming out of our comfort zone. Fear is our number one enemy. 

7.  Vagueness. This lacks clarity. When we are vague in what we need to get done, we will not get it done. We need a specific, planned course of action in order to see results.

8.  Emptiness. Disinterest lacks passion. When we lack passion we will find so many excuses that result in "this is just not for me".

The next time any one of these lies/excuses creep up in your thoughts, identify them as procrastination and tackle them by doing exactly the opposite!

Begin the road to your success by kicking this foe out of your life!
