I think this is one of the best explanations on if you should build your brand first or build your business first. I wanted to share these words with you that Deagan Smith shared with me:

“A few days ago I did a consult with a private client who asked me a question you’ve probably got swimming in your head right now with . . .

All the excitement about the concept of attraction marketing:

What should I be focusing on in my business right now, building my brand or building my downline?”

This is a point of confusion for many, so let me share a little bit of insight on this exact question, which, once digested, will bring clarity to exactly what you should be doing to drive the bottom line in your home business online, but first . . .

A quick definition: What does “attraction marketing” really mean?

Attraction marketing, as a concept, is interesting, genius, and misunderstood.

At its base level, it espouses an almost magically enticing appeal – “how great would that be if I could just attract people that asked me proactively if I would do them the honor of letting them join my business? Yeah … I want to learn how to do that!”

For that, it’s genius, but the major misconception about all this is to HOW this “magical attraction”" occurs.

To many, it means – “Go brand yourself. Be bigger than life. Be the vision of what my prospects want and like magic, they will appear,” but …

The truth of the matter is, all that “attraction marketing” is, is online direct response marketing.

***Direct response marketing is the art of finding the people most likely to say yes to what you have to offer, then letting them know that you have what they want, and finally offering it to them in an irresistible way.

This process is driven by logical questions that anyone can ask, find answers to, and reap the rewards of.

But …

At its basal level it’s not about “brand building” and that’s what causes the confusion.

Let’s look at the questions we all should be asking so you can answer them silently to yourself as I go on:

- Who is my ideal prospect?

- What is their biggest nagging, embracing, and painful problem?

- Where do they hang out?

- Can I get in front of them in a cost effective way?

- How large and how rabid is the community?

- What can I offer that’s slightly different and better than the pack?

Now, you go about answering those questions, planning your course of action to find your ideal prospects, lure them in with exactly what they’re salivating for, carry on a conversation to identify with them in their vernacular, offer them your solution, and a profitable business you shall have.

But … Why do I go through all that?

Because without understanding the true definition of attraction marketing, addressing the question of “To Brand Or Build?” that we started with would lack depth and understanding.

Attraction marketing is more about, finding, communicating, and offering, than it is about simply “being” something “attractive” and waiting for the powerful magnetic force to drive results. In other words, it’s totally action oriented in nature.

The person who concerns themselves with building their personal brand at the inception of their business, is in my opinion, wasting a good deal of time.

Yet, this time, if used properly, could easily be converted into money and recruits.

Now I know what you “might” be thinking . . .

“Daegan, where do you get off? Don’t you call yourself The King Of Never Calling A Single Lead”

Yes! I do, but what most miss is . . .

I’m not doing it in any way, shape, or form to build a brand – it’s purely for my own entertainment purposes.

For the home business entrepreneur struggling with this question of “to build or brand” – I offer you the following solution.

Simply do both.

Here’s how . . .

Start by mentally thinking about what of VALUE you want to provide to your target market – for me, it was being able to teach people how to recruit without picking up the phone.

Get to work on creating the expertise and results for the area of value you ultimately want to share, and …

As you make new breakthroughs and discoveries, share them.

When you’re good enough, put together an entire “best practices guide.”

A beginners course for the person struggling in that area you’re now mastering.

Offer your insights in that guide:

- Your foundational philosophical marketing principles for success

- What NOT to do

- What to do

- A step by step implementation process for realizing results from your material

- A barometer for how to know when they’re on the right track

And finally . . .

- How to translate those first success into bigger ones.

Once you’ve done that, your brand is your expertise, you’re profiting by your expertise, and no doubt …

People will come “a knocking” for how to work closer with you.

Don’t build the brand, build the skill, share the knowledge, and the natural by-product will be your brand”

So there you have it. Great advice if you’re looking to build your business online. And if you don’t like calling leads, Deagan Smith has some amazing information on how he became “The King of Never Calling A Single Lead.”

Is there someone you need to forgive in your life? When you let go of your past, you can move forward to your future. As Nelson Mandela, the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize has said, “Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.”

I have known people who have had a silly disagreement with a family member that led them to never speak to their sibling again. Wow, now that’s some resentment! As Nelson Mandela has said, you think you are hurting the other person by not letting go, but you are actually hurting yourself.

Jack Canfield has said he has known people who have forgiven their parents and doubled their income in a few months, as well as their productivity. He has also known others who have forgiven someone from a past harm and have actually been relieved of physical ailments. There was one person in his seminar who finally was able to truly forgive someone who was able release long term migraine headaches within minutes, and people who have had miracles happen in their careers and financial lives.

So, taking the time to let go of the past is definitely worth the effort. And it’s not as hard as you think. So what do you need to do to take your steps to forgiveness? Listen to part 1 of my video below and you will learn a simple technique I learned from the amazing Louise Hay.

Peace and prosperity, my friends!!!

Just a quick shout out to see who has seen “What the BLEEP do we know” DVD and what your thoughts are about it. This documentary was shunned by all movie distributors, but went on to become the fifth highest grossing documentary in the United States with ticket sales of $12 Million. Although rejected by every major film festival, “What the Bleep Do We Know” did get entered in five smaller festivals, and won in every one.

I have watched this DVD, along with “Down the Rabbit Hole” several times and each time I get something different from it. The main thing I take away is how POWERFUL our minds are and we really have no understanding of how powerful we are as creators of our own reality. If you have not seen both of these movies and you want to further your discovery in your own potential, I highly recommend you watch them.

“What the BLEEP Do We Know” is mind-jarring and combines quantum physics, spirituality, neurology, and evolutionary thought. There are experiments that prove that what we think about can actually change our physical environment.

This was most powerfully depicted by the “Hidden Messages in Water” where a Japanese scientist exposed water to different conditions as well as different affirmations. He found that when the water was exposed to positive conditions and affirmations and was frozen, beautiful crystals (you must see this) were formed and when they were exposed to negative conditions and affirmations an opposite effect took place. This happened every single time. So, with our bodies being composed of almost all water, what we say and think actually does affect our physical bodies.

I could go on and on about the absolutely fascinating information, but it is difficult to describe. You just need to see it and then you will understand what I mean. If you have seen “What the BLEEP Do We Know!?” DVD, I would love to hear your thoughts on it. Leave a comment on what you learned and your favorite part.

Have an awesome day, everyone!!!

Organo Gold is another MLM Company that has come to gain some serious attention. In fact, last month, Google reported a global monthly search volume of 27,100. There must be some reason that many searches happen each month for this company.

So, I decided to look further into Organo Gold to see what all the buzz was about and to give you the facts on the company.

The Company

This company was founded in 2008 by Bernie Chua, who has over 10 years of experience in the field of direct sales industry.

The Products

What products does Organo Gold offer? The products are coffee, tea, hot chocolate, with 100% organic ganoderma. The company also offers nutraceuticals, skin care, and more products to come.

So why combine coffee with ganoderma? First of all, 250 million people drink 2-4 cups of coffee a day, so adding the health benefits of ganoderma to coffee, looks like a winning combination.

Health Benefits

Some of the reported health benefits of ganoderma are anti-aging properties, strengthening of the immune system, anti-oxidant properties, detoxification, and improvement of blood circulation. Ganoderm has a 5000 year history and has been called “the king of herbs.”

The Compensation Plan

There are 7 ways to get paid:
1) Retail sales paid daily (earn the difference between the selling price and wholesale price)
2) Fast track bonus paid weekly (sponsor is paid when a representative enrolls with a builder pack)
3) Dual team bonus paid weekly (receive bonuses with only 2 personally sponsored reps derived from infinite builder packs and first time purchases sold within your organization)
4) Unilevel bonus paid monthly (bonuses from product orders and re-orders from within organization 7 levels deep)
5) Unilevel matching bonus paid monthly (receive up to 50% of the unilevel bonus earned by personally sponsored reps unilevel bonus)
6) Generational bonus paid monthly (earn bonuses as you develop ranking leaders in your organization)
7) Global pool paid quarterly (qualify and earn a share of the 3% of OrGano Gold’s World Wide unilevel cumulative volume)

So, is OrGano Gold an good opportunity for people to make money from home? I say absolutely, especially considering the health and wellness industry is projected to be a trillion dollar industry by 2012.

Is OrGano Gold is the right company for you? That is something you must decide. With that being said, if you do choose this company as your vehicle for financial freedom, you can have the best company and the best products, but if you do not know how to properly market, you can struggle for years without making a profit.

Learning the principles of marketing is essential for any business and home businesses are no exception. If you learn how to market correctly, you can avoid the 97% failure rate in network marketing.

Are you using effective video marketing to build your business? If not, you are missing out on a lot of traffic to your website. Video conveys the human element and when people see your videos and opt in to your website, they will be the highest converting leads you will have.

Here are some tips to help you have the most effective video marketing:

1) Give Value – you want to give so much value in the video that even if they don’t click on your link, they go away thinking the would have paid for that.

2)Share a Story – like the old adage says, facts tell and stories sell.

3) Don’t finish a thought – people are moved by unfinished thought, so they will be compelled to click on your link to complete that open loop.
