WHAT STAGE ARE YOU IN?

There are 4 stages to how a CEO begins to grow a team and what they spend their time doing. If you don't work on moving up in the stages you usually get stuck in the doing and deciding cycle. Meaning you do all the work, decide to hire people, then spend your day deciding for them, and now you fire them all to just do it yourself. You then start to get overwhelmed and decide it's time to hire people again. Anyone else feel this before?

DOING- are you doing all the work in your business and basically have created an employee job for yourself? you get to a point where you end up doing all the work and start to feel like it's time to hire someone/some people to help you or do the work instead?

DECIDING- you are now not doing much more work but have a team constantly coming to you and …

Is your warm market the best place to start for your Network Marketing business?

In Network Marketing we are told to do a list, think of who is in our warm market that we can talk to blah blah blah, I call bullshit on this.

YES, I know I am just poo pooing advice given by so many leaders but guess what in this day and age people are very savvy and remember there is Dr Google too.

My disclaimer is I have done this too, I have gotten the list out but it didn’t resonate with me at all.

Time to shake it all up in Network Marketing

That is why I am saying it now, it is time to try something different to get quality or qualified team or customers.

It has always been my motto to “Don’t Quit”, however something keeps popping up all the time and I wanted to share with you Wo…

Henry Ford once said, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.” I could not agree more.

Strategic partnerships are absolutely vital to usher your business into the next echelon. It’s important to remember, though, if your businesses aren’t a good match, partnering can end up being a colossal waste of time and energy, so it needs to fit like a glove.

You may be asking yourself, “how do I vet potential strategic partners to ensure they are worthy of working with?”

I’ve spent years functioning as a “matchmaker” for business, facilitating introductions, networking, and providing referrals. What I’ve learned is that there are three crucial qualifications that, if met, will ensure a fruitful 2-way partnership.

1. Values– Like any good relationship, va…

What if the answer to your dreams is all in your mind? What if you hold the key that will open doors for you to reach your full potential and achieve immense success?

People often think they have no control over their potential. Some think you have to work yourself in a tizzy to achieve their true potential. You do have to have some action involved to achieve this. A store won’t open itself. A book won’t write itself. You get my drift. Action is only about 20% of the equation.Do you tell yourself statements like this:

I don’t want to do this.

I am not feeling this.

I will fail.

Or any negative statements such as these? How do you feel just reading those words? It causes you to give up on yourself and not even try to attempt to make the changes you want in your life. It stops you d…

Life is about layers. The mining of these layers requires a certain depth that is not revealed from the surface. The degree to which a person has the willingness to delve into these layers will be seen (or experienced) in the force in which he manifests himself under crisis. If you are someone who likes to quote others, you may find yourself using wise words that are not necessarily reflected in your professional life. Copying someone else's style might be a way to get structure, but gaining your own depth can only be achieved when you are willing to study (life). It is time to reset and figure things out.

It is not strange that we happen to live a superficial life; We live in a time where an entire generation has grown up with seeing life within a context of 160 characters. Try sending an in-depth Tweet in 160 characte…

Hi, I’m Kristen Miller, a Sales Funnel Strategist, Digital Product Creator, and Online Business Coach.

In 2016, I was a professional blogger making a whopping $100 a month. (Yes, you read that right. Just two zeros). That’s when I realized that even a great blog isn’t profitable without digital products.

Pretty soon, I was living the dream: selling my high ticket program to a hungry mob of followers - without spending a dime. 

Blogging was finally profitable because I figured out how to use it as the vehicle to drive my ideal clients to my high ticket programs! 

And you can too…

Today I want to talk to you about why your job is keeping you broke. Yes, I said it and I know you might have a job you might even have a good job. But the fact of the matter is that 78% of Americans are living from paycheck to paycheck, you guys, that’s almost 80% of the population, living these paycheck to paycheck situations.

What does it mean to live paycheck to paycheck, that means that you are maintaining a lifestyle where you’re not able to save any money and if you didn’t receive your next paycheck, with emphasis on NEXT that you will begin to incur some significant financial stress.

Significant financial stress means shut offs and eviction notices may begin to show up, utilities getting disconnected, and there is even a great possibility that the car is goi…
