This article was written in response to a short, excellent interview or Mike Klingler, at the Renegade Professional Live Event in Portland Oregon, January 2010.
In the interview Mikes talks about and describes the Global
Entrepreneurial Movement and the changing face of business. The message is thought provoking and compelling. The Event was also very powerful for the many people involved.
I believe that reverberation from the event will continue for a long time to come. Like the circles continuing outwards from a stone dropped into the water…the message and powerful connections from the RenPro Live event are already impacting people in a manner that signals just the beginning. (In JV’s, business collaboration and in depth creativity.)
The Global Entrepreneurial Movement is evidenced in many places…and expanding every day. In my frame of reference, the 21st century paradigm is a cognitive and behavioral shift from the that of the 20th century (which was formed by the industrial revolution, years before). We are transitional generation. I predict that our children will live their lives and create their income in a very different manner than our parents…by collaboration, insight, and independent entrepreneurial projects that relate back to a community wide method.
Wow.!

I’m sure you’ve been told that December is worst month of the year for network marketing. Is it an old wives tale meant to make everyone feel better about taking the month off and pushing hard with your business, or is it true?
The time between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day is traditionally a time in our US culture with a focus on the holidays and on retail sales and marketing. No one could possibly make you believe that business is not happening. You just have to open a newspaper flyer or enter into any retail store to see that business is in full swing. In fact, this time period may well be the best time of year for many types of businesses.
So why not network marketing? Part of the reason is related to solely to human nature. A network marketing business requires that individuals need to focus and take action. During the holiday period, many home business people experience a change in mind-set, choosing to relax and focus on family and festivities instead of on business. This is certainly their choice and in fact is one of the benefits of being self-employed. But when hundreds of thousands of people make this same choice at the same time, it effects the entire industry.
Another reason for the perpetuation of the idea that the network marketing industry struggles in December, is that Read more
They say in the network marketing industry that you are not doing anything unless you are actively recruiting/sponsoring new business builders for your downline and retailing products. Anything you do that does not produce results that are seen as income, is a questionable activity. In the present focus on Attraction Marketing using social media, many are spending a vast majority of their time being social, but not ultimately being productive. There is a difference.
Basically, if you are not sponsoring and recruiting, you are not even in the game. You are an amateur. Professionals are the people who are getting paid for their time and their work. Remember that social media marketing has NOTHING to do with networking (ie. making friends and setting up deals). It is all about increasing the visibility and awareness of your content by using social channels and nothing more. Your goal is to make it count–to monetize your actions and move towards your main goal of making real money in your network marketing business.
Here’s how to do it:
Eight Key Action for Making Real Money in Network Marketing
Read more
Fifteen years ago I packed up my little red Acura Integra with my favorite books, my camping gear, mountain bike and few pairs of skis and headed to the Rocky Mountains. My goal was to visit many different small resort towns in Colorado, New Mexico and Utah and decide where I wanted to live next. I had a checklist of the items that comprised my perfect town. The plan was to visit and stay long enough in each location to be able to work through the checklist and determine if this was the place for me to live.
Once Upon A Time in Network Marketing………………..
Once upon a time there was a profession called network marketing (or multi-level-marketing/MLM). There were many who learned well how to succeed in MLM and they taught their team how to succeed as well and thus made money. The basic teachings asserted that most network marketing products be sold through face-to-face contacts and home gatherings. At the beginning of the network marketing industry, about 70 years ago, the ideas was as simple as selling good products person-to-person using word of mouth. If people loved the products, they were taught how to sell them as well. In this way people were able to receive their products for free and make money….sometimes a lot of money.
But over time it became evident that only a small percentage of people were actually making good money. Read more
This guy has totally “got it“. And the amazing thing is that you can “get it” too if you take the time to learn what “it” is ! “It” is personal branding to the max! It is understanding that social media is a conversation in which you need to listen and listen hard. Hear what your audience is looking for and turn around and give it to them. It’s not about you…yet it’s totally about you.
What did she just say????
Personal Branding is about creating yourself in a genuine manner in a way that people can grasp onto, enjoy, learn from and be entertained by. At the same time, you are taking in the needs and desires of your people, of your audience and truly caring about what they want. If what you give back to them is real..based on true passion and honest caring about those with whom you interact, they will know. And they will love it.
Start by reassessing how you interact on the social media you now use. Are you a value based, content sharing, go-giver..or do you tend to pitch and sell? That’s pretty basic. So let’s go deeper. When you jump on Facebook or Twitter or wherever else you often jump, are you mostly just adding your own posts and tweets or are you looking around at other’s in an attempt to engage in a conversation? Remember, you do best if you understand the want and needs of your audience. What better way to know what that is, than by seeing what they are talking about?
OK, so then what? Then you jump in with both feet and start engaging, being in a heart space inside yourself where you are truly interested in those you are interacting with..not just playing the game. There’s an old adage that people are interested in people who are interested in them. Give first and once someone feels heard and appreciated they’ll naturally take the time to see what you’re all about.
This is where your personal brand is seen. They come looking for more information about you, and you’ve got a lot to show them. There is no “right way” to be. For the right way, is to be yourself with as much honesty and integrity as you can. At the same time, as any good copywriter will tell you, boring is bad. Give your audience anything other than boring and you’ve got a good chance to engage them. Be funny if that’s your nature. Share really useful information in an area that is YOUR passion. Keep them coming back for more by alluding to what you are going to share and teach them about tomorrow.
Hey..I’m not here to give you the Cliff Notes version of Crush It…just here to get you started thinking about your Personal Brandingg and letting you know that anyone can Crush It, with the right mind-set and some good initial direction.
