This World Is Ruled By Infinite Intelligence

I love the "Miracle Minute" message I just received on my cell phone from Mary Mannin Morrissey. (Life Soulutions) I would like to pass it on to you:

It was Thomas Edison who said “I know this world is ruled by infinite intelligence. Everything that surrounds us – everything that exists - proves that there are infinite laws behind it. There can absolutely be no denying this fact. It is mathematical in its precision.”

So right where you are right now there is a spiritual universe
of which you are a part. It is absolutely mathematically precise in the way it works.

And it is comforting to know this, because it simply means that when we change our thoughts we change our lives. Because mathematically, scientifically, infinitely,
these laws work

So today can be a day you get to create a day of your choosing.

And you will choose it with your thoughts. So join me today, and let’s just take every single thought, and say, "Does this take me forward?" If it does, lean into it and if it doesn’t, send it on its way.

Change Your Thoughts And You Will Change Your Life

When I created this blog, and named it, it was with the intention of having it be all about my favorite subjects to teach, such as the Law of Attraction and other Laws of the Universe, Personal Development, The Secret, and works by Bob Proctor, Jack Canfield, Napoleon Hill, etc.

Then for some reason, it seems like every time I post, it's about my second favorite subject to teach, network marketing -- or InterNetworkMarketing, as I call it.

Anyway, I wanted to tell everyone something today that is actually relevant to the title! (Please don't faint.) I saw this quote somewhere and just had to share it. (In fact, if you follow me on Twitter, you may have already read it in my tweet earlier today! It goes like this:

"You don't get what you get because you want it. You get it because you believe it."

Wow! Think about it! That is so profound. Let's all make it a conscious decision to believe for what we want!

We can turn it all around if we will just all focus on doing that.

Shalom!

Wow! Our Weekend With "Big Al" Schreiter Was AMAZING! INCREDIBLE! STUPENDOUS!

If you ever get a chance to attend a Big Al Schreiter seminar, do whatever it takes to be there! Our weekend in Houston last weekend was out of this world. We learned SO much!

The theme of the seminar was hands-on internet marketing. For two days we worked on our own laptops and actually learned how to do all kinds of things, like Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter,and YouTube.

Yes! We even recorded our own videos and put them up on YouTube! I can't believe I even have my own "channel!" (That really sounds high-falutin', until you realize that's just how YouTube works, huh!)

First of all, I could never have imagined how easy it was to do! And secondly, we thought we would have to go buy a video camera. Turns out our cheap little digital camera that we already had does just fine!

The technology turned out to be extremely easy! But content . . . now that is another story! When you see these, you will know for a fact that they are the first three videos we've ever made in our lives. (Except for family videos,of course.)

If you had told me that I would ever in a million years allow a video up on YouTube with me in it, I would have said . . . well, what I would have said just isn't suitable for print! And now there are three videos online, with more to come! I must say, it is excruciatingly painful for me to watch and hear myself on video. (And when you see these you will understand why!)

I mean, after all, I'm the one that finally had to hide the Christmas 1990 video from my family just to get a little relief from being laughed at and ribbed mercilessly for weeks by my kids! Here it is nineteen years later,and they're still imitating me! (Don't even try to find it, Trevor -- you never will! That video will never see the light of day again!)

I could have never clicked that "upload" button myself! But . . . I closed my eyes, covered my ears, gritted my teeth, and allowed my husband to upload them to YouTube anyway, hoping they're not even a fraction as horrible as I know they are!

So why on earth did I allow them to go online, for anyone in the whole wide world to see? Because I keep reading that to be successful online, you have to "brand yourself." "People join people, not companies," they say. Well, if someone can watch these terrible videos and still want to join me in business, I will know I have a truly open-minded, willing network marketer!

A person might as well see what you're getting yourself into, eh? Seriously, seeing me on there will give people hope! They will take one look at these videos, and be thinking "We're gonna be RICH! If she can be successful, I know I can!"

In addition to the technical, hands-on education, we had a chance to just sit and pick Big Al's brain for hours on end! We learned sooo much from the master network marketer that it will take many posts to even scratch the surface. So keep checking back! Or better yet, subscribe to my RSS feed. (If you haven't been to the training, don't worry - I didn't know what that meant until last weekend either!)

Just Home From San Antonio, Heading Back Out to Houston

The wonderful Lone Star State seems to be our home away from home for the first part of March! We just got back from the most wonderful 4 days in BEAUTIFUL San Antonio, and we're heading out again to Houston EARLY (as in dark-thirty!) Friday morning.

While in San Antonio, one of our most favorite places in all the world, we had the most beautiful weather imaginable. The Riverwalk was as fun as ever, and we Howled at the Moon at our favorite piano bar. Oh yes, and we attended a FABULOUS business conference, too!

Our conference was at the Westin La Cantera Resort, where we had the swankest suite we have ever seen anywhere! It was actually a luxury condo, with a bathroom larger than a lot of master bedrooms! We had our own HUGE private courtyard,complete with pool and hottub. We were provided with our own golf cart for transportation around the resort. (I know, we have a tough job, but someone's got to do it, right?) The service was excellent as well. All in all we give it a 5 Star rating.

The news from our business conference was out of this world! There are so many great things happening I even put together our own "Economic Stimulus Package" to get the word out about some of them. Once example is a FREE BLACKBERRY, and another is a FREE $25 Dining Certificate! If you would like the full information, send an email to me at IMktgDiva@gmail.com, and I'll get it right out to you. Unless I don't get your email before we head off to Houston, in which case I'll send it to you Monday.

In Houston we will be attending a seminar with Big Al Schreiter. We cannot wait! He's one of our all-time favorites, and we will be working with him one-on-one. We will be recording a video or two while we're there, and IF they turn out ok, I'll let you see them. I hate seeing (and especially HEARING!) myself on video, but I'm trying to get over it, now that I'm a DIVA! LOL

Until next week, remember, you become what you think about! Think great thoughts!

To your massive success,

What is "InterNetworkMarketing?"

I thought I was SO clever, coining a whole new word: InterNetworkMarketing. After all, it's not in the dictionary! But when I went to GoDaddy to purchase a domain, I found out that someone else had already made up that word. Webster's Dictionary just doesn't know about it yet. So I had to settle for "Internetworkmarketing Diva." That's ok. I always did want to be a Diva! (Lemonade is better than lemons, anyway! I trust you're familiar with the advice: When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.")

So what IS "Internetworkmarketing?" Well . . . it's actually pretty self-explanatory if you think about it. It's a combination of Internet Marketing and Network Marketing. In other words, the act of doing network marketing via the internet.

I have been a network marketer for YEARS. (I could tell you how many, but you'd think I was ancient!) So of course, I learned the network marketing the "traditional" way. (Holding "Belly-to-belly" appointments, showing dvds, making phone calls, etc.)

When I lost my voice for basically a YEAR (Now THAT'S a whole other story! It COULD even be a BOOK!) I found traditional methods very difficult to carry out! (Try making multiple phone call with no voice!)

So, while I stayed in touch with my team by emailing and text messaging, I also began searching the internet, looking for ways to expand my business online. I figured while I couldn't talk, I could still type. I discovered that there are TONS of programs and systems to choose from! There are so many things available that initially I suffered from information overload! Next came analysis paralysis. Slowly, painstakingly, I waded through the information and eventually emerged victorious!

After researching,studying,sorting,comparing,testing and eliminating programs and systems for months, I finally chose what I believe to be the very best system available to help a network marketer build a team online. I put the system in place, plugged it in, and now my main "work" is to "drive traffic" to my landing pages. The system does the sorting, so I only speak with people who REQUEST a call.

I LOVE IT! No more cold calls, "prospecting" or bugging my broke friends! Thanks to the power of the internet, I can get dozens of leads more quickly and easily than I can get a single lead with "traditional" offline methods. It's "Attraction Marketing" at its best!

As far as I'm concerned, Internetwork Marketing is definitely the way to go!

If you want to check out the system I settled on, go to www.InternetTeamBuildingSystem.com. Oh yeah, and another cool deal: You make money when people subscribe to use the system, even if they don't join your network marketing company! How cool is that!

Leverage – One Of My Favorite Things About Network Marketing

If you’ve read anything at all by Robert Kiyosaki, you probably are aware that “trading time for money” is the worst way in the world to make money. Yet 95% of Americans are doing exactly that.

There are two main reasons trading time for money is the worst plan:

1) There are only 168 hours in a week and
2) There is only 1 of you.

So unless you require NO sleep, and are one of those rare people who earn $200 or so per hour, there is just no way you are ever going to get ahead financially by trading time for money. (And if you did, you probably wouldn’t have any time to enjoy the money!)

To get ahead, there are three key principles you need to put to work:

1) Leverage your time.
2) Leverage your money.
3) Create passive residual income.

Today we’ll address principle #1, leveraging your time. Leveraging your time means putting it to use operating a system whereby you get paid for other people’s efforts in addition to or in place of your own. For example, do you think Bill Gates has to get out of bed, show up at his office and punch a time clock to get paid? Hardly. He knows what rich people have known for decades: The above principles, starting with Principle number 1. He has systems in place which use other people’s time to create vast amounts of money for him whether he gets out of bed or not.

Both Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump recommend Network Marketing as the best way for the “average joe,” who doesn’t have a lot of money to invest (i.e. “leverage”), to create wealth. Network marketing, unlike a job, puts all three of the key principles to work.

This is why I have made network marketing my career. I didn’t want to have to spend 40 hours of my life every week working when I could put in 5-10 hours instead, yet be paid for hundreds of hours of work, thanks to the efforts of the people on my team. They don’t mind, because they have the exact same opportunity I do to leverage THEIR time. We have a saying: TEAM stands for “Together Everyone Achieves More.”

I just typed up a step-by-step plan for one of my new team members, outlining the simple steps needed to reach an income of over $10,800 per month her fifth month in the business. Thanks to the concept of leverage, she will only have to sponsor 4 people herself, then help each of them sponsor 3 people. If each person down the line just sponsors 3 people, that’s where her income will be. Her income will continue to grow as the size of her organization grows, whether she ever personally sponsors any more team members or not.

You may be thinking that for a company to pay out this kind of money, the entry fee must be really high. Nope. Under $300. Where else but in network marketing could you invest less than $300, put in a small amount of effort at the beginning, and watch your income grow that fast?

Sure, I know, “It’s not a perfect world. Not everyone will sponsor their three.” True! But some people will really mess it up and go out and sponsor 10 or more. It’s impossible to predict exactly how the organization will grow. But the point is, as long as SOMEONE is sponsoring SOMEONE, the organization WILL GROW. I ask you: Does your paycheck at your job grow like that?

Here's another one of my articles I didn't think to post on my blog back when it was published!

Is It Possible For An Internet Newbie Network Marketer To Successfully Build A Team Online, And If So, How?

I spent over a year uncovering and scrutinizing the evidence surrounding this controversial question. I am publishing my findings so that others may benefit from that research.


It’s 2:00 a.m., Jan 3, 2009, and I am just too wired to go to bed! Why? Because I just joined the twenty-first century! Let me explain . . .

As a career network marketer of 20+ years, my teambuilding was obviously done through “traditional” methods. When I started my network-marketing career, the internet wasn’t even a glint in Bill Gates’ eye!

If you are a traditional network marketer, you know the drill: Make a list of everyone you know, call them up, set appointments, show them a dvd, then call your up-line for a third-party testimony. Then when the prospective team member doesn’t join on the spot, try to check back with them the next day at the agreed-upon time. When you don’t reach them, continue to follow up with phone calls until your dialing finger wears out and you are forced to face the fact that they have quit answering your calls. People who used to be your friends would now cross the street rather than bump into you. (Congratulations! You have joined the NFL Club --“No Friends Left!”)

Thankfully, I had promoted past the point of having to continually find new team members myself. But I had grown weary of constantly trying to motivate members of my team who were weary of constantly trying to find more people to expose to the business opportunity. I was out of ideas for ways to suggest to them for finding more people to talk to.

I began to hear tantalizing rumors of online systems for lead generation and even sponsorship. But others vehemently declared these rumors were just myths, and that network marketing will only work “belly to belly.”

I felt that if there were that many rumors, there must be something behind them. It just made sense to me that the internet is the tool to use to reach more people! Where else can you contact hundreds or even thousands of people with a click of the mouse?

In fact, I just heard this on a Perry Marshall cd: “Ten years ago Faith Popcorn wrote a book called The Popcorn Report. She said that the trend in the 90’s is “cocooning,” which basically meant that people don’t want to be bothered. If they were cocooning 10 years ago, then today they are locking themselves in a fortress! Some people hide behind their computer, reading their emails all day long, but won’t even answer their telephone. If you’re going to find a way to effectively sell to them, then you’re going to have to find a way to get invited, not as an unwelcome pest, but as an invited guest.”

I know this is the internet age, and I adamantly believe that the future of network marketing will be predominately online. After all, that’s the trend for everything else!

I believed there were probably network marketers using the internet to build their teams, and I was determined to find out for myself!

So the quest began. For months, I spent untold hours diligently searching and researching, seeking the true answer to the question “Is it possible to successfully build a team online in a network marketing company?” After many months of thorough investigation, I am convinced that I have found the answer: Unequivocally, “YES, IT IS!”

Not only did the results of my research prove to me that it is possible, but it is fast becoming a much-preferred technique to “traditional” network marketing methods.

Contrast a) all the time, effort and hassle involved in chasing a limited number of prospects, with b) sitting comfortably at your computer, reaching hundreds of people in the amount of time it would take to make a phone call or two! Sure, I know “it’s not as effective as being in the same room with someone.” But the sheer numbers more than make up for that disadvantage!

The auto-responders do a great job of building a friendly “relationship” with the prospect. If you’ve ever been on someone’s mailing list, you likely have experienced feeling like you almost know the person who’s been sending you those emails and newsletters.

And consider the fact that people are looking specifically for an “online business.” They know they don’t want to have to chase people, either!

Once it registered with me that my original question had in fact been answered, the obvious next question was: “How?” This triggered many more hours of research on my part, tracking down and analyzing the many “turnkey” systems that promise to build your team for you “on autopilot.”

While the systems I studied vary widely in specifics, all share the common goal of having the system do virtually all of the “prospecting.” The object is to save you from wasting any of your valuable time to find out if someone is a prospect or not. Anyone you talk to should have already learned about your business, qualified themselves, and either contacted you or requested a call.

While you may have some emails and phone calls to return from prospects and people who join your team online, your main work is to drive lots of traffic to the lead capture pages of your system. The more traffic the better. Don’t be alarmed – if you select a good system, the tutorials included with it will teach you everything you need to know to do that successfully.

A fringe benefit of many systems, that I heartily endorse, is a way to make money from prospects who do not even join your business!

After several months of studying various systems, I finally recognized that I was suffering from “analysis paralysis.” I decided it was time to stop researching and start testing! I narrowed the field to the three systems I was the most impressed with, and spent a week analyzing and comparing the three. I forced myself to make a decision, and selected one to test. I spent this evening getting it all set up & personalized.

And I did it myself! Yes! I, by myself, was actually able to follow all the instructions in the video tutorials to “plug into the system” and get it up and running without a hitch! Those who know me, with my woeful lack of computer skills, probably won’t be able to believe that, but I swear it’s true! And I didn’t even have to find a teenager to help me! (Although if I had, I would probably have been typing this at 9:00 pm 1/2/09 instead of 2:00 a.m. 1/3/09!)

If the fact that I did it by myself doesn’t speak volumes for the people who put the system together, and wrote the tutorials, I don’t know what would! All the instructions were crystal clear, easy to understand and easy to follow! No tiny little detail was omitted.

Not only did the video tutorials walk me through every single little step, but I even acquired a few skills that will come in handy outside of the system itself! For example, I have had an auto-responder system for months, but hadn't yet learned how to use it! I quickly and easily learned how to use it tonight from the tutorial video of my team-building system! It was really very simple once I had someone showing me, in the video, and walking me through the steps of actually using it!

I am ecstatic to finally have my 21st century online team building system up and running! I have tested it, and it is operating like clockwork! Now I am going to apply the techniques for generating traffic that I have learned in my months of research, with the help of the tutorials in the system, and throw open the floodgates! Hallelujah!

After I sleep in, that is!
