Hello once again.

Hello once again faithful readers, and a happy monday to you. And a very happy halloween to you as well I trust your day has been successfull I hope. If not then why?????
Today I spent some time with a new member of my team who has just come on board and is raring to go, we spent some time doing a quick recap of his skills training. And answering any questions or concerns that he may have, but most importantly was to set out a plan of action over the next month. And agreeing on some goals for him to focus on. What I have learned from part experience is that overloading new team members will not help them to grow successfully businesses, but that team members really need to learn one thing and one thing only and get good at it.
So we have cone up with an action plan for him to gather six customers and two team members with my help, what's more I have assured him that I am always there for him, and he is my priority, and my success is determined on his success.
One thing that I did say is that he must never ever feel that however little niggle he has he must phone me with any questions that he feels relevent and it doesn't matter how many times in the day he calls that it doesn't matter how little the matter is, what I believe that I have done is cemented a good source of trust and support. I advised no I don't know everything but I'm here to keep him on the right track.
We also discussed list building and following the system and sticking to it, the importance in team building which appears now relevant is duplication and how duplication will help to grow a strong business.
So what are my plans tomorrow??? Follow up appointments and looking for new businesses, I have figured that the presentation takes very little ti e to do and really I do need to be speakng to more people about it.
So how many distributors can I get in november well I only need another three top line, as my brother is on board in a fortnight. So I guess I better get done to it.

Have a great week.

PS
update on the hallway is coming soon so stay posted.

Another great start to the week-

Well here we are again readers, another week is here I wonder how all your businesses are going in what ever you do??????
I personally have had a great yet challenging week so far but boy its worth it. As challenges are what keep us young and the mind active.
It started yesterday when I went out for a one to one with another member of my networking chapter, to find out more about about their business. Now here is a hot tip to learn if your networking with other businesses. You must have a selfless attitude and as a cardinal rule you must never ever, network with a mind of how to get business for yourself, but how to get business for other people. It is when you adopt that philosophy that automatically you will find you will automatically get business back. Let me explain by telling my story.
Yesterday while having a meeting with my fellow member I always first like to tell them about my business second (never be too eager to explain about your business.) And secondly I like to do this as a mark of respect to my fellow business men (women.)
So the person I was in a meeting with was an electrician by trade, and I took done a lot of information about his business and how I might be able to get him more business in the future. Now when ever I have one to one's in my network meetings on wednesdays we are not allowed to actively recruit during meetings. Only genuibe business is allowed to be passed. But I do like to use one to ones because not only does it get to explain about my products, but also about the opportunity because you never know who may sign up in this game.
Something that I definately was taught yesterday, because although I thought that my colleague knew all about my business it turns out that he in fact knew very little. So when I presented the products I could tell that he was more than impressed and I could actually see him thinking and utilising the services for himself.
But what was more interesting was the fact when I presented the business opportunity to him and asked if he would like to get started he didn't hesitste to say yes. Which I was Impressed by his confidence in the company although he had only learned of it ten minutes before hand. So two things again are know, like and trust, and people will make snap decisions where necessary that they feel it would fit.
So then further to that I had another appointment with a consultant regarding my back. So during the consultation, he asked me what I did which I said to him that I saved people money and explained how my product worked, then he asked if we provided services for businesses and I said yes. Another customer appointment in the making, and honest I never even went in to promote my business I didn't really.

success

Hello again readers. Tomorrow is the first day that I have accomplished and made my first wage being self employed. I sit here this evening watching a dvd, and yet I can't concentrate on it. So as a rule ice decided that with every months wage I will reward myself with something. So I subscribed to a online magazine called, (wait for it now.) SUCCESS Magazine. It's a magazine made by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs. And subscribed for two years I'm really excited for the first edition of it. Apart from that prospecting businesses goes on, and follow ups. Marketing my services and products to the public. Creating my mission statement which I don't think there has, ever been a better time than now to tell people about what we have on offer. The boat has not left there is still time but if I don't do it now the. I never will. I'm so excited about the next few months and what they have to offer. But still I need to fill my diary up quicker. Which is why I have decided to double the pace. After a chat with my accountant he indeed agreed businesses are the hardest hit. My approach is almost perfect and the hunt goes on.

can't sleep

I have had the worst nights sleep my mind has been going overload, on all the things I need to do in the forth coming weeks. They say Margaret Thatcher survived on four hours sleep a night is that why she caused so much chaos to this country I wonder?? She was hardly progressive I hope I'm not following suit. So today I want to book two one to ones with my fellow team members I also have a few other calls to make and a solar panel installation guy coming, which I'm doing a martini presentation with. My mind is on overload I know come this afternoon I will be dead on my feet. I guess its just the price to pay to become successful.

piggy bonds and other sorts of things.

Hey readers. I hope that your having a fantastic week so far. Today I got a lovely surprise in the post. At the moment the my company is running a promotion called piggy bonds. When I go out and sign up customers and distributors, I get a little or lots of scratch cards called piggy bonds. When they came through the post today, it was like Christmas had come early. What landed on my mat was this wad of scratch cards and I won lots of lovely cash. So I'm very excited for next month to see how many more.piggy scratch cards I will get. Today I also had a customer appointment with the lady I went to see about the solar panels. While I was there I met her dad a really nice chap and we sat and chatted for a while. I found out that he was gong to be the guy installing the solar panrls. And I mentioned the advantage he would have by becoming a distributor. Needless to say he was very interested and I have to have a follow up call with him next week. Now if he signs up that is worth four piggy bond scratch cards. I wonder how many people I can get until the promotion ends??? A wonderful day indeed.

The last weeks worth of acivities.

Hello again readers,

Now its sunday evening and im fired wired and inspired for the week ahead. It thought it would be good to let you all know about the last weeks worth of activities. I feel that the week has gone so quickly.
I was honoured to be invited to a meeting with Mo Pemberton my upline senior group leader in the company, over at Lytham St Annes. I was so inspired by Mo's story and thrilled at the chance to go and meet some new people that I decided to go across.
The meeting was held at the leyland hotel just off the M6 and there was about 22 members there. I learned first hand all about solar energy and where my business is best in the market, as solar energy is sure to be the way forward.
I was also asked to speak about business club customer gathering, which I gave the same talk as I did in the saturday team event, so when I finished I was overwhelmed to see a rush of raised hands and a lot of questions which I hope I gave my best answers to.
Once the meeting hand ended I had some phenominal feedback from the people in the group some saying it was like a breath of fresh air, I really could not say how overwhelmed I have been with positive comments. Clearly it does pay to go the distance, no matter what if you get such positive results that spur you on.
I also have been networking alot with other members and businesses alike to find out about their businesses. For instance on thursday I went to my first event at the mussel club a social networking site but also for businesses. They were holding a exhibition on the different businesses, so I walked round and got to speak to a few members in the region. Each stand had a competition where you would put a business card in the jar to win a prize. I was most fortunate to find out that I have won a profile and coaching session. Great time to meet someone new show her how my business works and ask her honest opinion, seeing she is in the training and coaching field.
I also have a presentation to do in the morning with someone that I know who is wanting a change in her life, so I literally have told her im looking for people like that, who are willing to go the distance.
Today also has been a great day we had a home meeting which we covered some aspects of goal setting, solar energy and learned new things. One member of the team updated our facebook page and said was great to be with positive like minded people.
So whats my plans this week, my brother has just come into the business so I will take time to train and coach him, to my level. Primarily will be presentations and customer gathering as always although one thing I will try and promise, I will try is that I will update more through the week.

Its been a few days.

Hello Readers,

Yes im still here still striving and fighting the good fight. And the last few days has been busy busy busy. Literally I have been prospecting a lot of people about becoming customers. Dont be shocked but alot of it was without any success. This happens from time to time but the key thing is dont lose faith. And also sometimes you just try too hard. So much so that ive got a little story to tell.
A few days ago I contacted some people that I know to ask them if there was anyone that they knew that dealt in solar energy. A good colleague of mine willingly emailed me some contact details for a guy who had just started with solar panels.
So I rang him and the conversation went something like this.

"Hello can I speak to ********"

"Yes this is ********."

"Hello you dont know me but I was given your details off *********, I hear your dealing in solar energy, is that right?"

"Yes it is."

"If I could show you a away to have an adavantage over your competition would you meet me for ten minutes so I can show you."

Well afterwards he agreed and put me in touch with his assistant. And said I could go at anytime really, so following a network meeting this morning, I decided to go and see her. So this I expected to be a warm referral when I went in. I asked to speak to the lady and explained who I was and that she was expecting me. Which she looked completely blank, immediately this turned into my uncomfortable zone of cold calling. I just thought deal with it you have come this far.
So I explained who I was and the conversation I had with her colleague and would she give me ten minutes.
She agreed and I went through the business and presentation, which she agreed would be of benefit but could not give me a decision immediately. However what she did say without me even realising at first is that she needed to take advantage of all the services for herself. And there was me with a focus of going in as a distributor and she is becoming a customer. Amazing how things pan out to say the least.

its a late one I know.

Well another busy day folks, but today I've been list building. Key thing in this business is have a list. A list of those that you know personally and those you don't. So what have I done well immediately put it into practice and got calling people, simply said I'm in the business of helping people save money or make money, and what interests them more. My calls tonight took me to my cousin who I have not seen for a while. Well would you believe when I got in there in the kitchen she had the biggest walk in sunbed, on the planet. And from it I saw a great big electrical cable coming from it, so I couldn't resist and said I bet that costs a pretty packet to run. Well you can imagine we got talking and one thing led to another and yes another appointment another customer sign up. So moral of the story be observant and talk to every one.

Good Morning and a happy Monday to you.

Good Morning,

Happy Monday to you all, if your thinking why am I so happy for it being a Monday. And you hate the fact that Mondays are the start of your five day week from hell. You need to do something drastic and change your attitude, by not starting your week to plan for success, you are more likely to prepare to fail. 

Today I have an appointment with a business for Ten o clock, then I have some calls to make and I have my letters ready to go out and visit another ten businesses today. 

I am going to adopt the same attitude that I did last week and the week before by not going in as a salesman, but by going in as a fellow businessman. 

I will adopt the right posture that my business deserves, after all my business is worth a lot of money. 

What are your plans this week if you have any doubts in your mind readers, any doubts at all you need to get rid of that doubt, because its the starting point for failure and not success. 

Go out there see people with confidence and posture, and don't be scared appointments don't necessarily have to be frightening, they can also be fun. A fellow colleague told me something that I now do when im making an appointment. I say to the person, ok I take two sugars and milk in my coffee, and chocolate digestives are my favourite. And you know what it works also.

Ok my list is up to date I have read twenty pages of my book im wired, fired and inspired and going to have the most successful week ever. 

To your success. 

And just when I thought sundays were the day of rest.

Happy Sunday,

I trust its been a good one, what have you been doing, gardening, or spending time with the family?
Alan and I were invited to his cousins for sunday lunch with the family, which I was thrilled to bits to be going to
as its nice to get together.
After being there for a couple of hours, a call came through on my mobile, it was one of my existing customers.
She advised that she was opening a hair salon a few villages from me and she needed a phone line and her energy sorted, as quickly as possible.
I asked if tomorrow would be too quick to see her, remember early bird catches the worm. She was so impressed that she had also dropped in that she had another three referrals for businesses to give me.
Yet another step closer to fifty plus club. I know that my focus is going to be solely this monrh on fifty plus club. I want so much to reach this by the end of the month as Stephan has told me, if I make it I will be going on stage for the leaders conference next month in manchester.
Althought that is not going to be my primary goal this month because I dont believe it is something that I can create and generate with urgency. So what I have decided to make this months goal is to be able to afford a new double bed for the guest bedroom, as it is currently my office and I live in a three bedroom semi with only technically one bedroom.
So I now have 29 days to succeed my goal 8 customers again is what im aiming for. Lets see where this one takes me.

Till tomorrow

Saturday event

Hey Readers,

What a fabulous Saturday today has been, the weather has been b.e a.utiful.
As you know today was spent in a team huddle which is held at least once a month or once every other month.
I was asked today to provide my story so far of my successes over the last month and have attatched a picture of myself for you all to see.
I love going to the team huddles, because the little nuggets of information you get are very valuable from top people working the business.
So what was the main thing that I picked up about in the business, well just like my first article on here about creating a urgency, I wanted also to look in the recruitment side of things aswell.
So I was speaking with Maureen my upline senior group leader, and what she told me was so powerful that I had to take a moment to actually let it sink in.
Now before I tell you what it is, let me remind you my business has to be simple, it has to be duplicatable, and obviously profitable.
And what I was told was none the least all three of the above things. The secret to recruiting is getting a lot of people to do a little.
So I really need to have another one to one meeting to plan my strategy, as im going to approach fifty plus club soon and I also want team building to play a massive part in the business aswell. But I dont want to rock the boat, because when I rock the boat, my activity drops and so does my moral. which means no income being earned. And no blog to update, and I am really enjoying this right now.
