Made a huge social media blunder

Lost access to my Facebook account yesterday.  It was a huge social media blunder.

Yesterday I was working on Facebook and realized I hadn’t changed my password in a while so I did that.  The next thing I knew I could not access my account.  What a way to change the day!  To say it stressed me out is an understatement.

You see if you can not access your account there is no one to talk to.  You can s

end Facebook security an email however they will not repsond.

This really got me thinking how I have been focusing my business.  A lot of my attention has been on this one social media strategy.  The good news is I have been doing other things yet not to the degree that there is any balance.

Today I realize I must create more balance in my business.  There are so many opportunities in the market place today and to create a long term successful social media strategy there must be balance.

So today I am beginning to create a new strategy that will include many more social media platforms than I have been using.

• LinkedIn
• Twitter
• YouTube

to namea few will become more important in my efforts as I move forward.

What other social media platforms are you using that you find the most beneficial for your marketing stategies?  Would be great for you to share them in the comments area.

Thanks and talk soon,

Social Media for Network Marketers

Now is the time to think outside the box if you want to be active in all social media for network marketers.  Social Media is the opportunity to be social.  Social Media allows average people like you and I to provide information online.  It can be simple, easy to do and create a base for your network marketing business.

The first thing that you must create is your Nerve Centre (that is your blog).  Your blog will be your hub where a lot of your information will begin. If you are not already blogging I highly recommend MLM Traffic Formual 2.0.  The reason I recommend this course is because when I took it I had not one ounce of technical, computer, high tech in me.  I was a paper and pen kind of gal!  The MLM Traffic Formula 2.0 made it so easy for me to put up a blog, taking action rather than freaking out because the information was not clear.

The next suggestion is setting up Facebook as a part of social media for network marketers.  Facebook is high traffic, people use it everyday, and it is a huge opportunity to create relationships which is really what social media and network marketing are all about.

Here is a Blog Talk Radio Show with Troy Dooly, The Beachside CEO as he discusses The New – 3 Foot Rule – Social Media for Personal Business.  It has some great ideas and information on how to use Facebook, Twitter, & a little bit about Pinterest for your Network Marketing business.

Connect with me on Facebook at my business page: https://www.facebook.com/udreambig , If you are looking for Health/Wellness info check out my page at: https://www.facebook.com/visionquestwellness

I do look forward to learning how you are using Social Media for Network Marketing?

Add video for business in 2013!

Over the past month or so I have read quite a few articles on the need to add video for business in 2013!  I have watched a number of leading “experts” in the online world discuss through video (YouTube) will be a very important way to communicate this year.

This morning I watched yet another video on adding video to your online marketing.  Setting up a YouTube account is simple, free and there are 4 Billion daily video views!  There are 72 hours of video uploaded every minute to YouTube.

In this video with Nick you will learn 3 examples of how you can use video:

• Put out instructional videos
• Power Point Presentation videos
• Get in front of the camera videos

Check it out here:

There are a couple of reasons why most won’t do video:

• They feel they don’t know how
• They believe they have a “face for radio”
• Or it is too much work

Let me share a secret with you.  I was a bit intimidated to do videos for a long time.  Until I learned that I could do a quick Power Point and my voice to create the video.  Since I have learned that little idea I have created quite a few videos and even done a few in front of the video camera.  Took a while but not a big deal.

Video marketing is definitely a great opportunity to expose your brand and business online.

Are you ready to share the tons of content you have stored in your head?

What is your system?

Today while I was out for my short run I thought about systems and wondered what is your system for your business?  You see I am writing another blog in the health, fitness and weight reduction field http:///wendybottrell.com Over the past couple of posts I have written about the Wellness Resolution.

This is a series on creating Clarity of Purpose, Your Why and Your Plan.  I felt today that the ideas that I created for clients in the health and weight reduction field could be the same plan for business.

You agree you need a plan?  You need a direction?  You need to know where you are going each day in your business right?  Do you have Clarity of Purpose in your business?  WHY do you want a business?  How do you want to make a difference?

These are important questions for success, right?

In order to achieve success you must:

What are the top 10 reasons to work at home?

Most of my work life has been in a home based office. What are the top 10 reasons to work at home?  Here is a list that I have from all the years of working at home!

• Extraordinary Freedom – to work at home to me means freedom!  I feel like I get more done on my time schedule than being in an office
• Peaceful – for me going into an office to work can feel a bit chaotic.  In my own home office it is peaceful, getting the work done calmly, orderly
• No traffic – my appointments for the most part are made when the roads are less congested.  Saving time and energy.
• Get more done – I feel like I do accomplish more because there are not the distractions
• Time management – I get to plan what needs to be done in a week and if I have something I want to do time is arranged around it
• Independence – I don’t need to say anymore on this one!
• Office with a view – I have the perfect office space, with a view outside.  Sunshine, nature, and depending on the season full bloom
• Feels more balanced – not having to rush to the office, being able to get other things accomplished in the day seems more balanced to me
• I don’t have to use the car and this saves the maintenance on the car
• Don’t have to get caught up in office gossip

And I find all those reasons very exciting for my day.

Are there other reasons not listed why it is great  to work at home?  Would be great to share them in the comments area.

Getting out to events is a great balance to the work at home office.  As we begin the 2013 here is a great resource to get out, network, and be a part of the Millionaire Mind Intensive!  The 2013 Calendar is now out and it is time to book your seats for this extraordinary event!

General Seating Tickets for this event in North America are FREE!  Go here right now:

Resources to grow your business online in 2013

Today I thought I might share some of the resources I have found to be most useful for my business online.

When I first started to venture online I found Magnetic Sponsoring.  It is the original Attraction marketing online.  It is a fabulous resource and I highly recommend it here:

MLM Traffic Formula 2.0 is the next resource I would highly recommend. If you are looking to create a business online, and want to be able to set up a working “Nerve Centre” this is the program that will do it. It is an awesome program and resource I still use today.

The Millionaire Mind Intensive is one of the most important events you will attend this year to figure out your Money Blueprint (relationship with money). Learn, Network grow yourself and grow your business with this event:

These resources are important to build and grow a network marketing business online. If you are not involved in a business online in the network marketing profession I can help you with that as well.

You see if you have 8-10 hours per week, are willing to go to work and create residual income you will do it with Network Marketing. I have been in the network marketing profession and also given my time as well as energy for Internet Marketing. I can tell you network marketing is way better! You must pick a business, build a team knowing it is so worth it.

A Resolution!

How many of you are still focused on your New Year’s Resolutions?  That’s good we still have a few.

Maybe it is time to consider making those Resolutions a Resolution to get em done!  If they became so very important for you that you became unstoppable what would you year be like? What would your life be like?   How would it be different from other years?

I think of a Resolution as being something that is so important nothing will stop it. Is that the level you have created your New Year’s Resolutions?

I think of Resolutions as having such a big WHY nothing will stand in the way.  Have you created that for yourself?

For you to march on with focus, determination and excitement  to reach your goals this year how different would you need to be? Think? Listen? Feel? Hear? Do?

Let me provide an example of me last year.  I had been struggling with energy, pain for many years.  Shortly after the New Year I took some time to consider what I needed to do to change how I felt.  It was  big question and the answer was going to change my life in so many ways.  So I had to be sure I was willing to take action once I decided the answer.  At that time it was clear that whatever it would take I would do.

The next step was to declare the answer.  My answer was stop eating anything that contained flour, grains, gluten, any non organic dairy, processed sugar, junk food. This answer had huge social challenges! I knew there would be people that would make fun, put down, try and create negativity for me. It would be challenging go out for a meal.  Whether it be at a restaurant or in someone’s home.  Many times there is really nothing for me to eat.  People will put sauces on meats, veggies, salads, that are not edible for me. Most people eat such poor quality of food.

Yet I made the decision.  No more!  My plan was to stop eating all of these foods for 90 days.  I would then assess how I felt and move forward accordingly.  One year later I have still not knowingly eaten any of those foods. I feel as good as I have ever felt as an adult!  Amazing!

How did I do it?  You see the pain of being in pain, being tired ( I mean exhausted everyday) was a bigger struggle for me than giving up the foods that were causing the problems in the first place.

I knew the answer.  I knew what I had to give up.  I knew I had to create my own revolution of wellness.  Was it easy? Not everyday.  Was it worth it?  Everyday it has been worth it!  I feel like a different person.  I have more energy, no pain, have lost weight and there are still things I am discovering where I feel better and can do more.

So what does this have to do with business?  Everything!

What is it you want to accomplish for your business?  What is the Resolution that is so important for you that you just won’t quit?  What are you willing to give up to get what you know in your heart you really want? That’s the Resolution for you!

Go on take the time to find that answer and Go For Your Resolution!

Here are a couple of ideas that may help you Go For It starting Now!

1. Break your goal down into daily winnable goals to give you continuous successes
2. Your daily winnable goals will allow you take Take Action today
3. Track your successes
4. Note your daily results
5. adjust when necessary
6. reward your wins

On Time on Purpose

Be on Time on Purpose! Are you late on purpose?  Are you often late?  Do you feel it is fashionable to be late on a regular basis?

Well, I was just reading an email from Ben Settle on one way to stand out from your competition.  Be on Time!  Can you imagine that just being on time will make you stand out in today’ economic climate?  How could it be so simple?  Do you feel you could always be on time on purpose?

When I read the email I was rather shocked.  You see I am always on time.  In fact mostly I am early.  I plan to arrive a couple of minutes early to everything so I can feel relaxed, organized and ready.  If I am on time friends start to worry.  LOL!

I am generally frustrated when others are late.  It makes no sense to me.  It makes me feel like they don’t care about me or my time.  And this got me thinking this morning because January is National Be on Purpose Month!  So this made me wonder how I can help you stand out from the crowd for your business?

If the only thing you have to do is be on time what would it take for you to be on time for each client over the next 30 days?  No matter what?

How are you willing to step up for your clients, your business and yourself? What would it look like if you arrived on time, ready to go for each client?  On Time On Purpose!

How would it feel 30 days from now to stand out from the crowd just because you were on time on purpose for your clients? How would your clients feel seeing that you have respected their time?

On Time On Purpose!

Would be awesome to hear your comments below.

Work-Diet-Exercise

I watched a Ted video the other day and I was fascinated.  Charles Eugster was the speaker, 93 year old bodybuilder.  He suggests Work-Diet-Exercise are good for our health and longevity.  I do agree and wanted to share the video here.

All kinds of messages are coming to me for doing work that feeds the heart.  Messages about purpose, meaning and passion.  Network Marketing allows me to do all three!

Providing a business opportunity in the Health & Wellness field, working from home and making a difference in other people’s lives is what we do here.

When I started in the health business way back in the ’90′s my health was a challenge.  I was always sicks, colds, the flu, allergies.  Today I feel the best I have felt in my adult life.  That is what our business can do if you want it to. Through this business vehicle I have been able to help many individuals improve their health and become involved with their own home based business! This is huge.

As we are coming to the New Year and most people make those resolutions for better health, increase in income, better diet, lifestyle, freedom what will you do?

This is a powerful message.  Check it out right here:

Let me know if I can help you whether you are looking for a chance to do work that will make a difference to you and your families health and well being.  If you are looking to improve your diet, nutrition we can help with that too.  Or if you are looking for an exercise program that will keep your body strong and mentally alert!

And if you are looking for a simple way to grow and build your business the MLM Traffic Formula 2.0 is the ideal way to do it!

Happy Holidays.
