Let’s get right down to it…Chances are by landing on this page you’re here to see if you really can make money online and you want to know If I have what takes to help you achieve that goal.

What is most important to you?

For me, it was to live life on my own terms and not everyone else. Living Life With Purpose. I had a dream to break through the proverbial wall and change my financial future. It all began with getting clarity on what I wanted.

Once I identified with that I was able to move forward towards reaching my goals. Now my passion is to help others. Once we help you gain clarity on what you want, we will have you moving in the right direction to reach your dreams.

Envision your desire and we will teach you how to attract the business people into your life that want what you have to offer.

There is a wealth of information online with everyone promising that their way is THE WAY. Information overload unfortunately, is the death of many would be network marketers. Every which way they turn somebody is pointing them in a different direction and constantly having you pullout your credit card.

As a marketing coach, consultant and a successful entrepreneur, I do things a little differently. I have learned that most people that come to the internet are sincere in their DESIRE to become successful but unfortunately lack the discipline and commitment needed to achieve success. Some people were just meant to be employees.

And just like every other profession out there there are those that prey upon the naive. In our industry we have the blind leading the blind. If you are currently involved in a network marketing company, it’s not that your upline or sponsor is lying to you outright, they just don’t know any other way. It is a plain and simple fact that most people like being in the comfort zone of what everybody else is doing. There is security in that. If it doesn’t work, it’s easy to shrug it off, “I just did what everybody else is doing”. No one blames you. When you go off on your own, then you have to take full responsibility of your actions. That can be scary. Well, if you follow the majority path in this industry, you will not succeed.

So how do I do things differently? I qualify the people that are considering coming into this industry or who think they may want to work with me. I send them to my website www.JHBLifestyles.com There is a ton of resources there. Much of it free. Depending on the response to that information is whether we move forward to the next steps or not.

For now, I invite you to look around this site and learn about me and what I do and what I have to offer. Again, there is a lot of free information to be found on this site. The steps you choose follow will show whether you have the mind set to work with our team. My goal, is if this is the path you choose to follow, then in short order We will Get You Found Right Now! That’s the KEY to success. it will unlock so many doors.

Don’t forget to subscribe to my blog. The marketing techniques and information given will carry you far in your journey. Education is key in this industry. Set aside time daily to learn something new each and every day.

OK, this may may sound like a bit of of rant to many, however I just don’t get why anyone would introduce themselves as “Hi my name is “their name” here is the link to my business opportunity. You wouldn’t walk up to them on the street and introduce yourself that way. Why in the world do they think it is appropriate to “throw up” their opportunity to people when they first meet them on the internet?

Social Networking is just that. A place where people can socialize online and get to meet new people who share the common interest. It’s a place to create and build relationships. Just because someone’s profile says they are interested in networking does not mean they are looking for a business opportunity. The term networking means: “the act of meeting new people in a business or social context”. It does not say please plaster my Facebook, Twitter or social sites with YOUR business opportunity.

It does not matter how great you think your opportunity is or how badly you need to recruit somebody into. This does not make it OK to be rude or obnoxious. Online etiquette is a must for the entrepreneur who is looking to generate leads through social media. Introducing yourself by offering your link to your business opportunity is the quickest way to get yourself removed as a Facebook friend, Twitter follower or any of the social network interfaces.

I understand many people are cashed strapped and are trying to advertise their opportunity on an extremely limited budget, but one has to take te time to learn how to effectively market online.

If you are reading this and you are serious about wanting Learn How To Market Your Online Business the RIGHT WAY follow my 3 Step System found here: www.JHBLifestyles.com Much of the information found here is Free and you can even test drive our training system Absolutely Free for 30 days!

When bringing on a brand new distributor who has no network marketing experience usually the first thing they want to know is what do they say to their prospects. This is very understandable as their knowledge on their company and products are typically very limited. In all of my MLM Trainings I teach the communication skill sets needed to be effective in this industry. However, this takes time and doesn’t happen overnight. The last thing we want to do is lose the persuasive power of their initial excitement and passion they are feeling from just joining the team. Passion and excitement will carry the new distributor farther than almost any communication skill ever would without it. What I mean by this is that all the skills one acquires if not delivered with true heart, passion and enthusiasm will fall upon deaf ears typically. This is what people respond to.

I firmly believe that we need to give the new distributor prospecting scripts to get them started, but not without some basic training first. Otherwise, they are going to be “reading’ to their prospects. Anybody who has ever had a telemarketer call them reading their prospecting script, we know what happens; hang ups, deer in a headlight look and the glazed eye balls. :)

I personally use and highly recommend the Dani Johnson Prospecting Script Book. Dani Johnson is considered within our industry an internet guru. As a trainer for the serious entrepreneur she is a legend in the network marketing industry. Not only does she have what I consider the best script books put there for the network marketing industry, Dani also gives the customer audio cd’s with her prospecting script books so that the new distributor can learn the posture needed when using the prospecting scripts. This is crucial. You cannot hand out a script book, and expect the new distributor to be able to get out there and recruit. In Dani Johnson’s prospecting script books, both the original and supplemental she provides answers to just about EVERY OBJECTION a distributor will encounter. These prospecting scripts are not only for purchased leads but also for talking to your friends and warm market and really just about any situation one will find themselves in.

Being able to hear how to deliver the scripts will dramatically increase the success rate of the new distributor. As a sponsor, you then need to role play the scripts with them. This will allow you to critique them and build their confidence as well. One can also make some live dials with their new person and let them listen to you use the scripts and then allow the new distributor to to make their first live runs with you listening if they are comfortable with that. For some, that would make them very nervous, so its best to let those individuals have a go out by themselves.

Eventually, one will find their own flow and what works best for them. With the right skill sets and true passion the key is to be natural and to posture one’s self as someone the prospect can learn from.

For those of you that know me and my story, you know that my first mentor is Dani Johnson. In fact, had I not attended her Seminar “First Steps to Success” in the first few months when I got started in this industry , I probably would not be here today nor have had the success that I have had. Dani has made a huge difference in both my personal life as well as my business life.

This is something that you need to experience for yourself. You see, I believe all things happen for a reason and are not back accident. As I continue to have amazing success in my business, I cannot help but to be thankful and grateful to all that are helping me along the way. Dani being the first. Corey Citron for reaching down that helping hand when he was a network marketer himself and for bringing me into to Yoli. For the instant connection I made with Yoli President Robby Fender….. and so many others.

Then just recently I found out that Robby grew up next to Dani Johnson. Then just last night I had the incredible opportunity to meet Dani Johnson Aunt and found out that she is in our organization. We spent hours on the phone together. Goosebumps and tears were plenty throughout the entire conversation.

Although Dani has never left me in spirit this past year, she is now coming back full force in the forefront.

While I again am not sure where all of this is leading. It is by no means an accident. As I said in my convention training just a few short weeks ago.. “Where there is a Will, there is a Way and Doors will open almost magically.” It is our responsibility to WALK thru the door! I am walking thru that door now.

Anyway, I wanted to invite you to learn more about Dani and the amazing training you will receive from her.

Thanks, I appreciate it! Julie

I had a conversation with an business acquaintance last night that I haven’t heard from in almost 2 years. It is truly the perfect example of “what not to do” that I just have to share with you.

It started with a Tweet. “Remember me? We met through Lonnie B.” I responded that I did remember him. :) He then asked if I could give him a call. So I called him. The conversation started out OK. He told me he had been looking for our mutual acquaintance for an advertisement that he had created and was hoping to get a hold of to use for his own purpose. We spoke briefly about our past experience with this mutual acquaintance and then he asked me what had I been doing since that time.

Now, Before I go any further with the story, I want to tell you what was already running through my head. This gentleman told me that found me because he was trying to find a certain ad that our mutual associate had created and shared with all of us. Yet, at this point in our conversation, he already told me how successful he was and that he had just recently joined another company. I began to suspect that finding the ad copy was not his true agenda for contacting me. I smiled to myself and settled in to see where this conversation was going. I mean, I know he was going to pitch me on his opportunity but I wanted to see the manner in which he did it. You see, before I picked up the phone I had already done my due diligence on him. I knew what business opportunity he was promoting, but more importantly I noticed his area code of his phone number. He lived very close to where my company was having a live meeting with the founders in just 3 days.

This business is about building relationships. Already I knew that this gentleman was a network marketer and believed in the industry as he has been around for at least 3 years. In our conversation he had alluded to being successful in a previous company. At this point I wasn’t sure if it was all hype or not yet, but that’s OK. Third, he was local to me. At this point, it was worth a few minutes of my time to see where this was all going.

As I stated previously, he asked me what I had been doing since our paths had last crossed. This was good. You always want to get your prospect talking about themselves and build repoir. He listened to me for about two minutes and then proceeded to cut me off mid sentence and mid-story. He went right into sales mode and started pitching me his opportunity. Yikes! Now everyone has their own style and way that they build but as one leader to another, he really should have taken the time to build a relationship with me. In this industry, people don’t buy products and services. They buy into people. They buy because of the “Know, Like & Trust Factor”. Towards the end of his pitch he finally made mention of the product. That did catch my attention as it has something to do with a marketing system. However, he didn’t pick up on that either. He didn’t “hear” what interested his prospect. He was too busy pitching what was important to him. This is soooo very important. You MUST listen to your prospects. They will Tell you how to close them, if you listen.

Now what was coming through was his passion for his opportunity. Loud and Clear. He was excited and wanted to shout it out to the world. That my friends is what it is all about. When you have passion and you love what you do people will join with you. It is a natural attraction.

As I mentioned to your earlier, I had noticed that he lived close enough to me and that we had an event coming up in his neck of the woods, so I decided to invite him to meet with me face-to-face. It wasn’t about pitching him my opportunity, it was about making that connection. You see, he had just joined this company a few short weeks ago and according to him he was doing well and so were the people he brought in. But you never know where or what this type of relationship might lead to down the line. Many of the types of “programs” that he was in are short lived. I wanted the chance to connect and plant a seed. I simply told him where I was going to be on Monday night and could he stop out. He immediately asked if this was for my company. I told him yes, that the founders and other leaders were going to be there. OMG! He couldn’t have blown me off any faster than if a hurricane swept by! LOL The conversation pretty much ended there and we said good night and that we would keep in touch.

Now, if I was trying to attract a leader into my organization and had the chance to meet them face to face, I would do everything I could to be there and if I couldn’t, to arrange another time to get meet. Plus I just got done telling him there was going to be a roomful of other network marketers. These are the people we want to meet and connect with. Folks, you have to think long term. You have to have vision in this industry if you plan on long term success. If your mindset is only on closing the deal today, chances are you won’t be here tomorrow let alone next year or the year after that…Now obviously this particular gentleman has had some success in the industry or he still would be around after 3 years nor would he be so passionate. But I think you get what I am trying to say here. This is a RELATIONSHIP Business and you need to cultivate those relationships whether or not you have a clear idea of where they are going yet.

In closing, I need to tell you that in the middle of writing this piece I received a phone from this gentleman in response to a message I sent him this morning. I asked him if he was open to some constructive criticism of our conversation last night. To his credit, he picked up the phone and was willing to listen to what I had to say. It was a good conversation. Will he take it to heart? Will it make a difference next time he speaks to another leader in the industry. I don’t know. I am only the messenger. I did re-invite him to NJ on Monday, but I didn’t get the feeling he was going to take me up on it. I let him know we have a monthly meeting so maybe next month would work better. Who know? :)

Reaching Your Goals

A few weeks ago, I had the honor of being asked by the founders of my company to do a 20 minute training session at our official launch. I was immediately excited and scared at the same time. I had NEVER done any type of public speaking in the past except for a brief talk in front of about 10 people. This training was to be done in front of 1200 people, on stage at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas, NV. Why am I sharing this with you? Because this is the time of year where we sit down and set out goals. If you are like most people, you probably just thought about a goal. Some may have written their goals for the new year down and even fewer ever think or look at their goals again until the next year. Up until this year, I was like everyone else. I never wrote my goals down and after the first few weeks of the year went by I never thought about them again. I have never been taught the importance of goal setting or the power of writing them down and most importantly, I never shared them with anyone. God forbid I verbalized and then never came close to reaching them. What would people think of me?

All of that changed for me this year and that is what I want to share with you. I made a commitment to myself this year that I was going to consistently work on leadership and personal development skills. After all, your income follows your personal development. I have begun to listen to some of the great leaders of our industry. Brian Tracy, John Maxwell and Jeff Olson to name of few. A consistant theme of all of these men is the important of not only goal setting but of staying focus DAILY on our goals and that each day we need to work towards them. They talk about the Law of Attraction.

As I thought about different circumstances that have occurred in my life both personal and business I was amazed at how accurate these guys were. Everything worked as they said it did ,even though up until this point it had all been on an unconscious level of mine. I began to think how my life would change and all that I could achieve if I actuality worked their ideas and practices at a conscious level.

With my previous company I had a wish that one day I would be on stage, not only because I had reached a high rank, but I wanted to be a speaker as well. But to be honest, I never really believed it would happen any time soon. I didn’t really work towards and I certainly never told anybody what my dream/wish was. This year I decided to change all of that. I got involved with Toastmasters; an organization that teaches leadership and public speaking skills. I got together with other leaders to organize monthly team meetings. My thought was if I was an organizer, I would get the chance to speak in front of other team members. Granted the initial meetings would be small numbers in attendance, but it would be a start.

The philosophy of attraction marketing is that when you focus and believe in your goals and you truly set out to work towards them that the energy create would bring your goal towards you. That things would fall in to place to bring your goal to fruition. What happened over the next 30 days astounded me. The founders decided to come to a town near me each and every month. This would bring the distributors in droves. We went from 10 in attendance to 68. after speaking in front of the 10 team members I shared with one of the other leaders that I truly wanted to be a public speaker. That this was a goal of mine. I knew he had the “ear” of the founders as I did. He was there when I spoke to the team. I asked him if in his opinion was what I shared something of value? Something that he felt comfortable endorsing me to the founders so that they would ask me to speak at the monthly meetings? He said absolutely. I wasn’t asked to speak at that first meeting of 68. :( I was asked to speak in front of 1200 at the First annual Convention!

Some of you reading this may brush this off as “just a coincidence”. It is not. I know very clearly, that if I had not set the goal, If I did not “see” myself on stage one day, had I not shared my goal, I would not have gotten the opportunity. Think back through your life. Think of something that you truly desired, that your truly wanted, that you fantasied in your mind. Every time you did this, whether consciously or subconsciously, if you truly believed it could happen, it probably did. Now imagine if you work this clearly & consciously and on a day to day basis. Blocking out the negativity in your life and only focusing on your goals. What could you achieve?

World-renowned economist & multimillionaire entrepreneur Paul Zane Pilzer explains how 3 powerful elements are converging & creating the greatest opportunity for you to change your financial future and achieve financial freedom.

Tim Sales on, “Which Industries Are Positioned For Success?”

Second Incomes Today

Everybody knows the economy isn’t going to turn around anytime soon. Even when it does how many lives will be in ruin an unable to return to their previous standard of living?

Everybody also knows pay cuts and layoffs are occurring way more frequently than pay raises and Christmas bonus’.

Read this article published in the New York Times:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/14/business/economy/14income.html?_r=1&ref=business

In order to offset the layoffs and paycuts more and more people are turning to home-based business. The key is choosing the right company and the products you can stand behind.

Unfortunately, too many get caught up in the sales hype of many of the online so-called business. They are not doing their due diligence. It is this network markets belief the very fact that the start up costs are fairly inexpensive play a major part in this negligence. The fact that their initial investment is minimal allows them to “take a chance” to find out what it is all about. Then as they dig in to get started they find out that there are in fact ongoing marketing costs and it isn’t quite what they thought. They become resentful and instead of blaming themselves for not researching more extensively so that their expectations would be more realistic, they begin calling the business a scam. Why? People buy HOPE. The simple plain truth is that their is more hokey business out there than good ones and the sales people know how to sell hope and empty your wallets.

But there TRULY is a way to make money from home! One only has to use common sense and treat this a REAL PROFESSION. When you get a job – you go through training. Maybe it is on the job training. Maybe you went to college for 2-4 years and paid for your education. Yet when folks become a part of this profession they don’t think they need training nor do they want to pay for educational material. The Network Marketing Profession is a skills business. It takes time to build a million dollar enterprises. It doesn’t happen over night and you do have to spend money to make money. The difference is you can control your expenses and your time is your own.

No matter who your sponsor is in your company, you want to find the leaders and follow their training and guidelines of what they did to become successful. Don’t look for a superstar who is going to make you rich. It is not how it happens. Success in this industry comes from consistent daily actions compounded over time.

While we believe companies like Yoli will make success come easier it is not a get rich quick opportunity. But if you apply yourselves and have realistic expectations you can achieve success much quicker than with other companies out there.

You done everything your upline has told you to do. You have gone to all of the training calls, meetings, placed ads all around the internet, bought everything they told you to and even picked up the phone and have done the dreaded phone calls. Yet no one is joining. Yes, they seem interested while on the phone, but are never there for the follow up. When you speak to people face to face, their eyes glaze over, they lok attheir watch or they get that Deer in a headlight look. Your hear all the testimonies on the call. You know other people are growing their teams and signing people up. You would be happy with just ONE!

Have you listened to your self? Would you buy from yourself? The #1 key skill that is lacking in 97% of the folks that join a home based business is communication. We truly don’t know how or why people buy. When you bought into your home business they told you the product practically sells itself. So why are they joining with you? In any other job arena you would go to training. But for some reason we don’t think that it is necessary when we start a home based business.

There are many coaches and consultants out there that do a great job of teaching the skill sets needed to communicate effectively with your prospects. Most of the really good ones have plenty of free training to get you started. There are 3 that I highly recommend: Dani Johnson at www.DaniJohnson.com Tom “Big Al” Schrieter at www.BigAlReport.com and Mike Diilard at www.BlackBeltRecruiting.com

Before I let you go I would like to share with you one of the MOST POWERFUL skills set I learned from Dani Johnson when I first started in this profession. When I learned this secret language of people, I immediatley wondered why this wasn’t taught in schools growing up. It is so simple and has made a huge impact on myself and others in this profession. Why everybody is not taught this in any setting is beyond me. Anyone who is in any leadership position needs this information. It even makes one know and understand their co-workers better and helps all relationships!

So just what is this kill set? It is knowing and understanding the 4 different personalities groups that everyone falls into.  Everyone who understands the 4 types will easily identify with one of them very strongly. Typically they will see signs of a second more subtle personality as well. Some people can see a bit of all 4. Most people will resonance with one very strongly and recognize their sub dominant one  and the other 2 they don’t see in themselves at all.

Some  people will reference these personalities as “‘Colors” – Blue, Red, Green & Yellow. Others as “Gems” – Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald & Pearl, some simply as Type A, B, C or D. No matter what they are called they are the same.

You can get very complex about them but their is no need. Dani Johnson and Tom “Big Al” Schreiter I feel describe them best.

You can order Dani Johnson Book “Uncovering the Mysteries of Success” where she describes  all 4 personalitis or order Tom’s CD The Secret language of your prospects. Both are inexpensive and do a great job.

If you would like to learn more, give me a shout. I’d be happy to chat with you. 267-644-5313
