Did you know that you actually have the power to improve the number of people that say yes to working with you?  Did you know that often the reason why we struggle when selling our product comes from the fact that we don’t know what questions to ask or how to ask them to get the response we want and need.  If you ask a question like, “Is there any reason why you wouldn’t want this?”  it immediately makes a person begin thinking of all the reason why they wouldn’t want it.  What does that mean to your business.  It means that you can make more says if you ask more questions.  But as my special guest CeCe Clark the director of sales for Motivating the Masses and a powerhouse business women in her own right says “It is ALL in the quality of your questions.  So lets learn today how to ask the right kind of questions

Are you a person of influence?  What does that mean?  Who do you influence? Whether we recognize it or not we all have influence in other people’s lives. What we do with this influence is what determines many fo the outcomes in our lives. When we want to grow our company, what we are actually doing is growing our influence.  Our influence isnt based on how much we know as much as it is based on how well we can share with others what we do know.  You have heard it said that all you need to do is share what you have learned with someone who hasnt learned it yet.  THAT is being a person of influence!  And it is in the sharing of our life lessons, both or struggles and our victories that we truly connect with others. No matter what product or service you sell, being a person of influence will help your company grow! So to help us with this today Steve is joined by Callum Laing a well known connector and trainer in the SE Asia market.  Callum is going to help us understand our influence and learn how to grow i

Do you believe in yourself?  Seems like an easy question and yet; how many times do we doubt ourselves?  Am I smart enough?  Do I know enough?  Will people listen to me? Will people buy my product? Are among some of the question we as entrepreneurs struggle with.  When it comes to marketing the #1 thing we need to understand is that You Are Your Brand.  In the end we buy people before we buy things.  This is especially true on social media.  Your future clients are already forming an opinion of us based on how we present ourselves.  There aren’t necessarily any wrong answers IF we are being consistent and genuine.  The authentic you coming across on social media WILL connect you to people like you and in the end these are the kind of people we want to work with and authenticity is the place we should want to operate from as a business. So with that in mind today we are blessed to be joined by social media expert Heather Picken.  Heather is going to help us understand how to present ourselves on social media

What starts out right ends up right, but what starts out wrong may never get right.  Have you ever heard that saying before?  I have found that it is so very true.  Often we think we can cheat it.  We just jump into a new project or relationship or other stuff with no plan and no thought…and what happens?  DISASTER.  Next thing you know you are WAY off course or worse, you have no idea where you are going or maybe even where you are.  My dad used to say. “if you don’t have time to do it right the first time when are you going to have time to fix it?” Excitement, lack of experiences or even hope can get in the way of out execution because we don’t have a plan or in other words we have no way of defining success or failue. So how do we launch a new company or a new product with the best chance of success?  We develop a plan.  Now when it comes to product development and building a plan that starts out right and puts you on the course for success there is no one I know that is better at doing this than the wom

If you ask anyone and especially women what one thing they would like to change about their body there is always an answer.  In some cases a very long answer.  If you had a magic wand and could transform one part of yourself what would it be?  Would there be an aspect of your health you would change?  The question really is though if you changes instantly with no work, would you actually be changed?  Or like many would you go back to the same place you are not because you have not really changed the cause in the first place. When it comes to truly transforming it starts by embracing where we really are and then empowering the change to happen in our lives.  It starts in our mindset and then works it way throughout all of our being.  We are transformed when we embrace with our whole being a new mindset.  The embracing can and often does happen in an instant and then becomes a reference point in our lives that we draw from to continue the journey until the transformation on the inside begins to show up on the
