Your Net Worth Relies On Your Network



Your Net Worth Relies on Your Network

What is a network?
  • Networking is a process that enriches us professionally & helps us reach new levels of accomplishments. It brings people together to provide support , structure , and skill strategies necessary to build on ideas and actions. Networking is an opportunity to gain SHARED experience.
What is net worth?
  • Net worth refers to an individual's net economic position; similarly, it uses the value of all assets (long term assets) minus the value of all liabilities.

Take a minute to really think about what I am about to ask you. I want you to be 100% honest with yourself.

"What have you learned about yourself by studying the friends you attract?"
- Napoleon Hill ( Think and Grow Rich )

Are you accepting the wrong type of people , i.e. : unmotivated, talentless, broke , uneducated , negative , etc? If so, how are they helping you as an individual? At the end of the day birds of a feather flock together. You are who you hang with and these type of friends will not get you far.

Think about your goals & think about your happiness. Who is NOT meeting your standards? Who is not aligned with your vision? Do not adapt to that mentally poor environment. Believe it or not the people you are around or are attracted to influence your thought process.

Its time to remove these negative influences from your circle, your social networks , your phone or where ever they are located. They have got to go.

Once you remove these types of people its time to pick new teammates for your winner circle.

To do this, you are going to surround yourself with assets and not liabilities, because you are the sum of your influences! Your strongest safety nets on this earth are your SKILLS and your NETWORK!

When meeting new people do not be close minded because you feel they do not have "celebrity value" or are not well known! There are MANY undiscovered geniuses out there right now.

The problem with CLOSED minded people is that their mouths are always OPEN. You cannot learn if you do not listen. Everyone does not know everything , so learn to be quiet and you may find yourself in a higher position in life.

In closing, having a progressive network will not only add value to your business but can multiply your money. Choose your inner circle wisely. In a future post I will discuss HOW to network efficiently to meet the connects of a lifetime.

5 Marketing Productivity Tips For Busy Entrepreneurs

Marketing Productivity Tips


So you quit your 9 to 5 just to work ALL DAY for yourself. Congratulations. Your hustle wont go unnoticed.

Now you have become your own team and you are a jack of all trades. You can go on twitter and state that you're currently #Hustling. Go ahead and Hash tag #Hustlenomics101 too, for good measure.

Between all you have to do in a day such as servicing clients, managing products, telephone calls , emails , changing diapers ... ( Okay changing diapers is me, but you know... such is life?)  it may feel as if you do not have time to execute your marketing plan / strategy. Is it okay to set your plan aside for a while?


While marketing may seem like an unnecessary activity for entrepreneurs who are booked with clients or whose products are flying off the shelf, it is. Marketing is essential in terms of you meeting your monthly , quarterly and yearly goals. The economy changes in the bat of an eye. Don't be that guy ( or girl ) who didn't market and is now waiting for google to catch your drift because your money will drift away too.

I'm going to help you avoid repeating entries on your planner that you copied over from last week. Lets try to be more proactive, okay?

Here are five things that I personally do and recommend to all my clients.

(1) If you haven't already, create a marketing calendar. Schedule all of your marketing activities in the calendar according to how frequently you planned to do them in your marketing plan.

If you planned to do something monthly, enter it on the calendar once each month. Weekly? Enter it four times per month. Do this for every planned activity.

(2) Hang your marketing calendar over your desk on a bulletin board or on the wall. Make a habit of looking at it every morning. This way you won't have the problem of "out of site out of mind."

I can't tell you how many clients I've had whose marketing plans have ended up in a file folder in a drawer. You're certainly NOT going to grow your business that way!

(3) Try incorporating your marketing activities into your weekly and daily to-do list. Enter the activities as to-do tasks in your calendar or tablet just like all your appointments and other business activities.

I do this with all my marketing activities. I use Microsoft Outlook and a tablet and it's the only way I know I'll keep myself on track. If something is on my calendar, I treat it like any other meeting or appointment and I do it.

For example, every Friday, a little notice pops up to remind me to write my weekly newsletter. If that didn't happen I'd either be writing it on Tuesday's at midnight, or it wouldn't get done.

(4) Pick one day per month to review your marketing calendar in detail and to look three months ahead. What is coming up that you need to prepare for now? What do you need to transfer into your to-do list or tablet to make sure you don't forget to do it?

I usually do this at the end of the month when I'm doing all my month-end work ... things like running sales reports, doing billing, and updating my marketing tracking reports.

Make it a habit to review your marketing at the same time you do these tasks. After a few months you won't even have to think about it anymore, it'll become a habit.

(5) Consider hiring an assistant or support person to help. If they can take some of the tasks off your plate that really don't require your expertise, it will free you up to focus on what I call "revenue producing activities".

These are things like working with clients, creating products and services and marketing. I couldn't believe the difference it made when I hired some help.

I didn't think I could afford it, but now I don't see how I lasted so long without help!

When you find a way to get back on track with your marketing and you do it on regular basis, it really does become a part of the way you do business.

Suddenly it doesn't seem like marketing anymore. It's just what you do to run your business. That's when it becomes effortless.

And, that's when you know your business will be continue to be busy and profitable for the long-haul.
