Leadership Analogy using a Red STRING…

What is Leadership and Why is Leadership Important?

Leadership can be described as the process or art of influencing people’s behaviors, thoughts and attitude. Effective leadership makes people feel like they have a say in how things are done. Leadership entails inspiring people to effectively, efficiently and willingly complete any tasks assigned to them, often inadvertently leading to higher levels of productivity and job satisfaction.

How does it apply to Network Marketing?

Proper leadership in Network Marketing sets a clear vision and effectively communicates it to the team, providing them with a clear understanding of the team and company direction. Good leadership also fosters effective planning (and duplication) which is important when it comes to meeting individual and team goals. Effective leadership improves member and customer relations and more closely aligns the team and individual objectives. In the absence of strong leadership, an organization may experience slow growth, or stall completely, and eventually lose its momentum and direction. Who you JOIN with and whose team you are on in the industry of Network Marketing IS important!

Leadership is about LEADING FROM THE FRONT not by PUSHING from behind! Step into Leadership by taking action. Check this out:

Are you Looking for a New Networking Opportunity and Team?

Work with Dave and Joy: Play with Dave and Joy

I have a couple of sayings that I live by and one is “I’ll walk through any OPEN DOORS” and the other is “I ask God, The Universe, to make things CEO, Clear, Easy and Obvious so I can’t possibly miss a sign or opportunity that will enhance my life.”

  1. I’ll walk through any OPEN DOORS: When things are beneficial in life they have an EASE about them. How many times have you tried to make things happen- over and over again and no matter what, it is a struggle and simply does not work out? THEN you have the OPPOSITE happen, call it contrast, where you try something and it works with such EASE that you know it was meant for your higher good! In fact, many times the “DOOR” has flung wide open before even getting to the actual door! WALK THROUGH IT WITH CONFIDENCE! You are on the right track.
  2. CEO, Clear Easy and Obvious. All of us have opportunities that pass by us each and every day. Signs, ‘signals’ from the Universe and if we listen to that little voice inside, called INTUITION, we’ll be directed. The problem is so many days we are inundated with so much stimulus and activity in the world, that the perfect opportunity may come TO US, and yet we either ignore or or simply do not even see it. CEO=asking God/or The Universe, to make it so CLEAR, EASY and OBVIOUS that you can’t POSSIBLY MISS IT. Say that out loud and watch what shows up!!!!

Recently we were at a cross road in our lives, especially around business – direction, abundance, passion, growth, company, etc. We had this very conversation that I write about above and literally within a day or asking for things to be CEO and PROMISING to walk through any door that opened up, we received an email -followed by a phone call that literally has changed- and enhanced our lives in so many ways. Had we NOT been open to the ‘knock on the door ‘ we would not be experiencing the JOY and business growth and fast growing TEAM that we are now experiencing.

We work hard and are dedicated to our business and career, but we also have balance and enjoy having FUN with what we do. We are creating a team with others who are SELF-MOTIVATED, possess Drive and Integrity and with people who want to enhance their lives as well as the lives of others. If you are looking for CHANGE in your life and are open to Network Marketing, let’s chat. Let’s see if what WE are doing is a good fit for what you are looking for in your life. Before you do, try the above suggestions, get quiet within and clear on what you want. Ask for guidance, and trust what shows up. Also rather than jumping into something that is not in total alignment with what you want or with who you want to work with, have a serious conversation to see if you get a clear feeling and the answer YES!

Many people join Network Marketing companies without ‘interviewing’ their potential up line success line….in this case, that would be us. We believe it is a crucial step in making the best decision for YOU. It is a relationship that we believe is worth exploring seriously…. unless of course, this is just a hobby for you and not a career move. Give us a call and let’s explore together to see if this is a mutual fit for both!

Thinking of Changing MLM Companies?

Thinking of Changing MLM Companies?

I was speaking with a friend the other day and we were talking about our experience of leaving a network marketing company that we once loved, but one that was no longer serving our goals in life or our finances like it once had.

He had left a company after being with them for over 22 years- one where he had earned over $3 Million dollars. I could relate as we had recently resigned from a company I had been with for over 10 years. We both decided to WALK AWAY from the monthly check… breaking ties in order to be authentic in our conversations with friends who were looking to join our new companies or opportunity.

What neither of us expected was that leaving a company we once loved on so many levels, from the corporate staff, the team, the product, the friendships, trips etc. was like a divorce. It hurt. But sometimes you have to do what is best for YOU and your families, your peace of mind. What did pleasantly surprise both of us is that many- if not most people remained friends no matter what we did or where we went. These people were true friends…not just by being affiliated with the same MLM company. Dave and I call them our HOT TUB FRIENDS, people we enjoy spending time with – enough that we’d be in a hot tub together with an adult beverage in hand and simply have FUN.

Then there were the so-called friends who as soon as you change companies, UNFRIEND you on Facebook, or talk bad about our decisions for our lives. They are upset and say it is not fair that you are leaving the company, while they choose to stay there. I just don’t get it. Real friends want what is best for you and your family- right???? Imagine being a waiter at a restaurant and you could earn 3x the money being a waiter at another restaurant. People would wish you well and say you made a great decision for your life, right? or another analogy is a car sales man who changes the dealership because it is a better financial opportunity for him and his family, and besides, he enjoys selling that new brand of automobile over the one at his past dealership. It’d be silly to talk bad about them for their decision, right? So I don’t quite get it why network marketing is any different.

My point here is to to do what is best for you.

Sometimes you just have to follow your inner guidance and JUST DO IT! Follow your intuitive self- the one that guides you to what is best for you in your life. The direction….EVEN if it is more difficult that staying in the status quo or familiarity.

Do the Thing – Just Do It- HAVE THE COURAGE to move in the direction of your dreams.

I found this brief video clip motivational and hope you do too. So whatever change you may be looking at in your life, if it supports your goals and dreams go for it.

If you are at the Cross Roads in your MLM Career and are pondering changing companies or exploring what else may be able to support your goals and dreams give us a call. (802-846-7530)

What is the right company for you? How can you get started? How will you know?

Dave and I are both coaches. I am more a transformational Life Coach on topics like LifeStyle, Health, Fitness, Changes in Life and Dave’s strength is more Business Coaching and Inspirational / Motivational Coaching.

However we can support you, give us a call to see if what WE are doing with ViiVa may be the right fit for what you are looking for in your life. You will be totally honored in the process….AND I promise, it will be a fun exploration.

We can’t wait to speak with you.

Moms- Make Money From Home with TAVALA

If you are like many moms with young children you’d love to be able to stay home with your young children but still have independence and earn income to contribute to your household.

Work from home ad made by post it

Or perhaps you are a single mom and you HAVE to make money, but the thought of being away from your children and putting them in daycare, (not to mention the cost) makes you beyond sad.

OR perhaps you are a young mom at home with your children and simply want MAD MONEY FOR MOMMA?

Have you ever considered working from home but didn’t like the idea of ‘stuffing envelopes”, doing “medical transcriptions”, or the typical network marketing that requires you to SELL, CONVINCE others that your ‘me-too’ product is the best? or that you need to stock up on inventory in your garage or basement and commit to a monthly auto ship order for yourself, whether you need the product or not?

TAVALA has Changed All That and made WORKING FROM HOME simple, easy and profitable.

We are LOOKING for Full & Part-time Associates to Work From Home and one of MY personal passions is showing young moms how they can do both: Earn Money AND Be at Home with Your Children.

With TAVALA your responsibilities would be:

• Develop customers for Our Next Generation of Weight Loss Technology (Do you know anyone in your circle of friends who would like to lose weight or have more energy and boost their metabolism?)
• Customers can try samples before buying (Easier to say TRY than BUY!)
• 100% 30-Day Money Back Satisfaction Guarantee (Can’t go wrong here!)
• 28% Commission on Customer Sales Paid Weekly (WOW)
• Optional: Hire, Train & Lead Sales Organizations (Take it a step further and enjoy teaching, training and supporting others? There is a way to create residual income.)
• Unlimited Income Potential – Earn What You Deserve (Want to earn $200 a week, $500? $1000 or more per week? All are possible with Tavala!)

Additional Information for you if you say “YES, This sounds great!”
• You will be an independent representative (YOU are your own boss!)
• You will be personally trained and can attend weekly team training, support calls and webinars (No requirements but available for the go-getter)
• You are eligible for company promotions, prizes and giveaways (How about winning prizes like Jay Bird Ear Buds, Go Pro Camera, Car or Lifestyle Monthly Bonus?, a 7 night Cruise? and more….)
• You can set your own hours and work when, where and how you want (Need to take time away from your business during kids vacations or when kids are sick, or special occasions? You can -with no guilt)
• Immediate Interviews by phone to explore to see if THIS is the right fit for YOU!

Self Motivated Individuals/Mommas, encouraged to call me at 802-846-7530. I am passionate about helping you earn money from home. I have “been there done that”…and have a daughter and a daughter-in-law who are able to be home with their young children due to working from home …part time or full time.

I look forward to hearing from you today! 802-846-7530.

Can Changing MLM Companies Be Like a Divorce?

By | | , , , , , , , , , , , ,
Comments Off on Can Changing MLM Companies Be Like a Divorce?

I recently heard the analogy that “Changing MLM Companies Can Be Like a Divorce.”

For those out there who have been divorced, you may know how difficult it can be terminating a relationship, ESPECIALLY one where you still care for or even love. But being true to yourself you know that in your heart, that the relationship is no longer the best or healthiest relationship for you to be in and you make the painful change.

The same can apply to loving a company you have been with in the Network Marketing industry, perhaps one you have been in with many years. At some point, there may be a time that your goals and visions shift, or that you need to make more residual income and you find some other company that is a better fit.

network marketing and work placeThis doesn’t mean that you don’t still love the ‘old company’, or that you don’t still love their products (or even recommend them) or don’t like the corporate staff that was like family….. or your team you developed….it’s just that at this stage in YOUR life you must follow your own path- whatever that looks like and wherever that leads.

I could never understand it when friends got divorced and found they had to split up their mutual friends! I have seen people take sides and true friendships even completely dissolve. This happened years ago when my ex-husband and his business partner split ways. All of a sudden the “other husband” then forbid his wife to continue being my close friend….and the sad thing is she listened to him. It took me years to get over that feeling of betrayal.decisions-decisions

So why is it that in most any other profession- other than Network Marketing- if you change jobs people wish you well, rather than try to tear you down on your decision? If you are working as a teacher in a school that is an hour from your home, earning $40,000 a year and get an offer to work for a school 10 minutes from your house earning $62,000 a year what would you do? You’d probably take the job with higher pay, closer to your home. How silly would it be to make your friend feel horrible for their decision? or to stop being their friend?divine discontent

One thing I have admired with many friends in Network Marketing is they have built and maintained friendships no matter what company they are with. This means their lives are RICH in ways due to the sharing of ideas with others, championing their successes and staying in touch with those people you enjoy being with regardless if you are their up-or down line!!!! Dave and I call them “Hot Tub Friends.” (People you’d enjoy spending time with in a hot tub, with an adult beverage!)

Now that I have played with this analogy I can see why some people feel like changing companies is like a divorce. It hurts….and it doesn’t have to. If you are looking for a new home you can visit www.MLMTweeners.com or give us a call. I’d love to add YOUR story to that website as I believe it can help many people in THEIR journey!5I3I6962_pp20x20

Mad Money for Momma- My First Try…

Mad Money for Momma- “my first try”

Hey fellow ladies and Mommas….

How many of you believe that having your own Monthly “Mad Money” is important & even critical for Momma’s Happiness and Well-being?

women-round-table-5

AND if the answer IS YES…..

yesWhat amount of mad money would make YOU happy? $$$$

Here’s my ‘story’….which I’ll call TAKE 1- as it was my first attempt at having my own “MAD MONEY”.

Back in the late 1980’s I was a single mom working part time in sales at a local health club when a friend approached me and convinced me with multiple praises that with my outgoing personality, number of contacts and sphere of influence that I have- that I would be PERFECT for her home based-woman only company. I don’t recall the details of the conversation much but I recall her saying that with VERY LITTLE TIME OR EFFORT I COULD EARN at least $300 a month- which is what I thought would be IDEAL FOR MY MAD MONEY ACCOUNT. I got excited!

3d characters isolated on white background series

I imagined the good life with ‘extras’ including travel or just plain ol’ MAD MONEY to buy whatever I want without pulling from my tight budget. Hmmm, lunch out more often, a pedicure or manicure, a good bottle of wine, new underwear and bras, a new fitness outfit, etc.

 

Although I am not a fan of “home parties” -nor do I care a hoot about make up or skin care, the allure of having my own mad money for just me– got me excited. I couldn’t even imagine having money that didn’t have to go towards the typical “gas, food and clothing” or my kids ‘stuff’.

I had NO IDEA how to begin to earn this MAD MONEY but trusted my friend 100% so when she suggested I buy the largest pack (saying I needed product in my ‘make believe store front’ from which to sell from (inventory) I believed that her recommendation to start with a $2400 pack was the BEST way to go! I also was convinced it was the quickest to earning the maximum amount of income in the shortest time. (In my mind, the fewest parties I had to host or travel to homes of others who wished to have a party, the better) I should have known I was doomed at that moment….but I did not.

I remember thinking that there was no way I had that kind of money, but as a young entrepreneur who was “coachable and trainable” (the ideal in this industry!) I actually took her advice and went to a local bank, took out a loan to start my “home based business”. I didn’t even have credit back then as I had always paid cash for everything so my ex-husband co-signed the loan.

When my BUSINESS arrived by truck- all I remember was the size of the BOX!!!! – it was huge, and most of the items in it were the color pink!

mary-kay

My friend, Barb, was good at what she did and helped me with two of my own ‘parties’. We did the facial thing around the tables, dabbled with colors and then she handed out the order forms to all the guests- my friends- who were there. To my surprise, people bought things and some bought quite a lot of ‘trinkets’ to make themselves beautiful! I think I earned at least $200 per party of a total of $400 PROFIT. WOW, Mad Money for Momma had come true.

I was in heaven…. until the reality hit- I did not LIKE what it took to be successful with this kind of home business. I remember wishing I was selling something health related, like fitness equipment, or fitness clothing instead. It didn’t take long for me to decide it was not for me so I sold off half of the inventory at my cost to friends and shipped the remaining product back to the company for a partial refund. Whew- I was done with THAT experience!!!!

True be told, I wasn’t mad at my friend Barb. She went on to be quite successful at HER home based business, winning “pins” and jewelry and even trips…. working part time. And I was happy for her. But this experience gave me a taste of what was possible! I got hooked on the idea of MAD MONEY FOR MOMMA and years later, got involved in a nutritional Network Marketing Company that was a good fit for me…..and I did earn MAD MONEY- only more!!!!

As I look back on my first attempt for MAD MONEY without a traditional JOB I recall how excited I got and I never lost that flame of hope for another way of earning my MAD MONEY.

When I first signed joined this company all I needed to be ecstatic was $300 a month. That’s it! And today, with decades of knowledge under my belt, and the industry of Network Marketing allowing this to be possible, I enjoy helping other MOMMAS out there create their mad money.

Fill in the blanks: How much MAD MONEY would make YOU excited to have each month? ________

What would you SPEND IT ON???? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

If you are looking for a way to generate YOUR OWN MAD MONEY, I highly recommend a book written by a friend and mentor, Kimmy Brooke, called the FOUR YEAR CAREER FOR WOMEN. It is fun, light, educational, funny, and easy read and interactive. One thing the book stresses is to find something you are passionate about- something you will use/buy and recommend even if you are not earning money.

For those of you who are open to looking at our business, we are giving away Free Digital copies of The Four year Career for Women. You will love this book. Either connect directly with us at info@DaveandJoy.com or go to Amazon and order your copies today!

Your Up Line in Network Marketing

Comments Off on Your Up Line in Network Marketing

Your Up Line in Network Marketing

It is often said that many people who join a network marketing company spend more time assessing the value of a $50-$100 product than on choosing their company and especially their up line. I have known people who have joined a company because their uncle Joe told them it was a ‘winner’ or they joined with the first person that shared the product or opportunity with them- out of obligation. Instead, we suggest choosing your up line sponsors like you are entering a long term relationship.

network marketing proJoin with someone who is committed and will be there when you need them!

Perhaps you have joined a company or become a wholesale customer because your best friend from high school called you or shared a sample…. only to find out they are clueless and don’t have any idea how to help YOU be successful in your new business venture OR perhaps they don’t even know the best way for you to consume that new health product for the best results.

Get what I am saying?

Choose…or even better yet, INTERVIEW your potential up line support team or sponsors before joining with them. Really? Yes, after all they are the people who will be partnering with you, training you and supporting you. Make sure they are serious about their role in YOUR business and that you actually LIKE THEM….or preferably -that you adore them. If you are serious about your new network marketing business you’ll be building a lasting relationship! This means you will spend a lot of time together…by phone or in person.

Look for your up line to be people who are dedicated, focused, loyal, committed, have high integrity, are positive minded and successful. When you have made your decision, make sure you listen to them, are coachable and trainable and follow their lead. This profession is different than many and it takes skills in order to have long term success.network marketing and work place

The same goes for inviting people to take a look at your opportunity. I know (actually I have been there- and learned the hard way) where I have reached out to people who I really don’t care to be around…. people who are the Wanda Whiners and Debbie Downers. Knowing that there are personality types who are not a positive asset to your team, I simply suggest the obvious, do not invite them to join you in your new business venture.

feel the vibe JOIN THE TRIBERemember, you are creating a VIBE with your TRIBE….and you are joining another’s VIBE in THEIR TRIBE. Do you like it? Do feel a part of something bigger than yourself.

Make a list of the IDEAL distributor and then look at yourself and see if you are worthy of attracting those kinds of people to your business. If not, go back and study the network marketing industry. There are many great books available- one of my favorite being the Four Year Career by Richard Bliss Brooke. Study, learn, become a student of the industry. The Four Year Career

If you are looking for a TEAM or COMPANY to join, feel free to reach out to us. 802-846-7530. It’s likely one of the most important decisions in your life.
