Time Gives You Perspective and Confidence
Send us a text In watching a documentary about the career of soccer phenom Hope Solo, I was inspired by the idea that time affords us perspective we may not have had in the moment.

This must come with a level of trust, a surrender to never knowing with certainty how things will turn out.

What if I told you that the amount of conflict you’re experiencing in your life is directly correlated to the amount of time you’re spending online? If we consider that our brains are super computers that take in without bias any and all data we upload, then it becomes more plausible that the influence of social media and online content greatly affects your patterns of thought and as an extension your actions and behaviors. And with so much FALSE and polarizing information online, it’s no wonder people are acting out in some very extreme ways. In this episode we discuss the mechanism behind how your mind processes information and the outcomes of that process.

Armed Militia Threatens FEMA Aiding in Disaster Relief
Send us a text Eckhart Tolle posted the following quote recently: “There’s a huge amount of suffering that is generated not by the actual challenges of life but by the fictitious problems that the mind creates.” In light of what’s happening in Western North Carolina with armed militias making direct threats towards FEMA employees aiding in relief efforts in the wake of Hurricane Helene, this quote has never been more pertinent. It gets to the root of why someone might act out in such extreme behavior and is a sobering reminder why we all need to do the hard work or taking responsibility for and over our own patterns of thinking. An insidious mental virus has been planted in many people’s heads and that virus has taken hold.

And honestly it has at the very least helped me feel better. I hope it does you as well. I have loved this region and all its quaint towns and cities since I was a child. From Black Mountain to Hendersonville, Chimney Rock, Marshall, Asheville, and of course Hot Springs, so much of it was washed away in the flood. What took generations to build, disappeared in a day.

Finish First: Why New Ideas Can Wait
Send us a text In this episode, we're talking about prioritization. It's all about focusing on the projects that will make the biggest impact on your life. Sometimes, it's easy to get excited about new things and start too many projects at once. But jumping from one thing to another without finishing can leave you with a lot of unfinished business.

The same goes for my network marketing business—I didn’t start anything new until I built it to the level I wanted. The message today is simple: focus on what matters most. Don’t start new projects until you’ve seen your current ones through. It’s easy to get distracted, but if you stay committed, you’ll see real progress in your life. Tune in Thursday for more tips on trimming the fat and becoming super efficient. See you then! ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Feeling Overwhelmed? Managing Life's Demands Without Burning Out
Send us a text Today, I want to talk about feeling overwhelmed. We all have a lot going on, and it’s easy to feel like there’s too much to handle. When we get overwhelmed, we can shut down and just go through the motions, looking for distractions instead of focusing on what’s important. Over time, this can keep us from achieving our goals. I’ve had a lot of changes in my life recently, like helping my mom move and having more people around. Because of that, I had to put some things on hold. It’s okay to pause certain tasks when life gets busy—just focus on what’s most urgent and important first. Once things settle down, you can slowly start adding other tasks back into your routine, one at a time. This way, you won’t burn out. Remember to prioritize what really matters to you, not just what everyone else does. Taking it step by step will help you manage everything without feeling overwhelmed.

Building Unstoppable Belief: Your Key to Success
Send us a text In this episode, we're diving into how belief is the key to achieving your goals and dreams. We talked about how belief is like the foundation for creating the life you want. There are so many things that happen in life that you can't control, but your beliefs are what guide your decisions. To make your dreams come true, you need to believe that they are possible for you. But it's not just about getting excited—excitement fades, and you need something stronger to keep you going. That's where belief comes in. Here are some tips to help you build your belief: Manage Your Excitement: Excitement can wear off, so don't rely on it to keep you motivated. Instead, build a deep belief in what you're doing. Focus: In a world full of distractions, it's easy to lose focus. Stop doomscrolling on social media and try reading a book to train your attention. Write Down Your Goals: Writing your goals helps you stay focused. You can write them daily or even create a "movie script" of your perfect day where you've achieved everything you want. Listen to Your Goals: Record your goals and listen to them daily to keep them in your mind. This also works with affirmations to boost your confidence. Visualize: Create a vision board or a video of your goals and imagine yourself achieving them. The more details you include, the stronger your belief will become. Remember, belief is what will guide your decisions and actions, even when life throws challenges your way. Keep building your belief, and you'll get closer to your dreams one step at a time.

Key's to More Effective Sales - It's Not About Convincing
Send us a text In this episode, I talk about a recent post from a network marketing group that got me thinking about how we sell and promote our products and services. Although the discussion starts with network marketing, the ideas can be applied to any business or marketing situation. The post suggested: "Stop trying to RECRUIT people into your business and OPEN their minds to a better way." While this might sound like good advice, let's look deeper at what it really means. Is it about showing a better way, or just giving another choice? We'll discuss why it's important to focus on the benefits of what you're offering, instead of just trying to sell the business opportunity. This episode highlights a customer-focused approach: understanding what your audience needs, respecting their decisions, and offering options without trying to change their minds. I also talk about how the world of network marketing is changing, and how companies are adapting to new trends and consumer behaviors. The recent change by Rodan + Fields to move away from multi-level marketing is a big example of this shift. Join me to learn more about how to build real connections with your audience, the importance of being patient in business, and why respecting your potential customers' choices can lead to better relationships and success in the long run. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Recently, I helped my mom move, and it made me realize how planning carefully helped us get a lot done quickly. While it's exciting to take risks and chase big dreams, there's a big difference between being brave and just acting on impulse. We discuss how breaking down big dreams into smaller, more manageable steps can make it easier to plan and avoid unnecessary risks.

Balancing Life's Demands: How to Stay on Track with Your Goals
Send us a text In this episode, we about the importance of prioritization and daily effort in achieving long-term goals. I share a personal story about a major life change – moving my mom to live with me – and how it disrupted my usual routine, including missing an episode of this podcast. Life is full of unexpected changes and uncertainties, and it's crucial to learn how to tackle the most pressing tasks first. I discuss the concept of prioritization and how certain events will inevitably take precedence over others. However, amidst all this, it’s essential not to lose sight of your dreams and long-term goals. Using the metaphor of an apple tree that took years to bear fruit, I emphasize the importance of consistent effort and patience. Just like nurturing a tree, building a business or growing your social media presence requires dedication and time, even if you don't see immediate results. Additionally, I touch on handling change and uncertainty, drawing inspiration from Michelle Obama's latest book, which offers practical advice on managing adversity and building resilience. Tune in to learn how to balance life's pressing demands while steadily working towards your goals. Prioritize your dreams, put in the effort, and remember that consistency is key to achieving success.

That's called perfectionism. Perfectionism is when you keep tweaking and fixing things, trying to make them perfect. But here's the thing—it can stop you from ever sharing your work! You end up worrying so much about making it perfect that you never actually put it out there. I used to do this a lot, but now I've learned it's better to just get stuff out there, even if it's not perfect. Because guess what? Nothing's ever perfect! The more you put stuff out there, the better you get. Here's what I've learned: Perfectionism is just being scared of people not liking you or your stuff. Spending ages trying to make things perfect doesn't always make them better. Instead of trying to be perfect, focus on getting better each time you make something. Remember, it's okay if your stuff isn't perfect. What matters is that you keep making things and keep getting better at it. If you're watching on YouTube, don't forget to hit like and subscribe!

🎙️ Make Awesome Content without Spending a Fortune
Send us a text Ever wondered how to create amazing content without splurging on expensive stuff? Well, i in this episode I've got some great tips for you! Despite what some people say, you don't need fancy gadgets to make high quality content. 🔍 Episode Recap: Last time, I talked about my YouTube struggles. Turns out, that particular episode ended up performing better than any other episode in recent history. Even though I use an old MacBook Air, an iPhone 14, and regular wired earbuds, my content got a lot of love for its quality. Today, I'll show you how I make my podcast, keeping it simple and cheap. 🎧 The Basics: • Use What You've Got: Forget about needing the latest gear, and fancy, expensive gadgets. I use my old laptop, iPhone, and basic earbuds for recording. • Easy Tweaks: I use GarageBand to make my audio sound better. Just a few adjustments can make a big difference. You can find similar free audio software • Hosting: I upload my episodes to BuzzSprout. They've got a free version, but I pay a bit to keep all my episodes online. 💡 Why It's Important: You don't need expensive stuff to make a great podcast.

Beyond the Numbers: Why I Keep Posting on YouTube
Send us a text Ever wondered why I keep posting on YouTube, even with such lackluster results? In this episode, I dive into the reasons behind persisting in the face of minimal traction. From my humble beginnings on this channel over a decade ago to the present day, I've only managed to gather a modest following, despite hundreds of videos and years of effort. So why do I continue? Let's explore. Firstly, YouTube isn't my primary platform. I'm primarily focused on short-form content and refocusing on Facebook. YouTube is more of a supplementary platform for me, a convenient place to host video versions of my podcast episodes. While I've made some tweaks over the years, I haven't dedicated much time to studying or improving my YouTube strategy. SEO, for example, is an area I could pay more attention to, but my bandwidth is maxed out with other priorities. However, despite the lack of immediate results, there are valuable reasons I persist: Processing Thoughts : Sharing content on YouTube helps me organize and understand my thoughts better. If I can explain it to you, I understand it myself. More Content : YouTube provides additional content that reaches a few more people each week. Plus, I can repurpose videos for other platforms, maximizing my reach. Continuous Improvement : Most importantly, showing up regularly, regardless of results, makes me better. It improves my ability to communicate and refine my content creation process. Sure, my YouTube channel isn't exploding with views, but the benefits extend far beyond metrics. It's about the journey of improvement, the practice, and the growth that comes with persistence. Join me as I discuss why showing up, even when the results aren't what we hope for, is key to long-term success. Whether you're struggling with YouTube, a business venture, or personal goals, remember: progress often comes in small, unseen steps. Keep showing up, keep improving, and success will follow. Tune in to this episode for insights, motivation, and a reminder that consistency pays off in unexpected ways. =============================== Lewis Howes and Alex Hormozi on the School of Greatness https://youtu.be/WK-d4H7xtvQ?si=pmzQVqbHO8_TkDTg ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Learning How to Rock Social Media: Marketing vs. Making Friends
Send us a text Hey there! In today's episode, I want to talk about some cool stuff I've been learning on social media lately. 🚀 Two Paths, Two Goals I'm on two learning journeys right now. First, I'm learning digital marketing for platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Second, I'm figuring out how to make more friends and connections on Facebook. So, a path of Networking and a path of Marketing. 🔍 Different Social Media, Different Vibes Let's talk about the big ones: TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and even Pinterest. These platforms are great for connecting with others and sharing cool stuff, like videos and pictures. 📈 Getting Found on YouTube and Pinterest YouTube and Pinterest are like treasure hunts! You've got to make sure your videos and pins are easy to find when people search for stuff. So, pay special attention to SEO when you're creating for these platforms. 🤝 Making Friends on Facebook Now, Facebook is a bit different. It's not just about posting cool stuff; it's about making friends and talking to people. I used to just post stuff and focused more on trying to "market" on Facebook, but I realized it's more effective to chat with people and make new friends. 💡 Finding New Ways with Predictive Social Media So, I found this awesome thing called Predictive Social Media.

Key Concepts: • Digital Marketing (Marketing on the internet) • Growth Phase (When you're trying to expand your audience) • Instagram (The social media app for sharing photos and videos) Step 1: Understanding Your Growth Phase: Have you ever felt like your Instagram account is stuck? I know the feeling. It's crucial to focus on growing your reach and your audience first. Let's talk about how to do just that. Step 2: Crafting Compelling Content: Posting consistently and creating engaging content is key. I've found that quality posts that resonate with my audience make a big difference.

The Dark Side of Digital Marketing: Flash vs. Substance
Send us a text Hey there, it's Ronnie! Today, we're diving into the world of results-oriented marketing and why it might not be the best long-term strategy for your business. Results-oriented marketing is all about showing off the results and enticing people to buy your products or services based on those results. It's like the old-school advertising we used to see on TV, radio, and in print media. Remember those days? In this video, we explore how this approach is prevalent, especially in the digital marketing space. From income claims to extravagant lifestyles, marketers often use flashy tactics to grab attention and elicit impulsive reactions from their audience. But here's the thing: while it might work in the short term to get attention and make a quick sale, it's NOT SUSTAINABLE. Why? Because it lacks depth, substance, and authenticity. I share my observations on how this approach is saturating the digital marketing space and how audiences are starting to tune out. Instead of focusing solely on immediate sales, I advocate for building genuine relationships with your audience. Social media offers us the opportunity to connect and engage with our audience on a deeper level. By delivering value, being authentic, and letting people get to know who you are, you can develop trust and rapport that lasts. In this video, I discuss why authenticity and value are key to building a sustainable marketing strategy, even if it means a slower build initially. Trust me, it's worth it in the long run. So, if you're tired of the flashy tactics and want to build a thriving business with a loyal audience, this video is for you. If you resonate with what I'm saying, make sure to rate and leave a review and follow the show for more episodes on digital marketing and business growth. Until next time, be well, be safe, and I'll see you in the next episode! ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Understanding the Impact of Social Media: Echo Chambers and Feedback Loops
Send us a text In today's video, we discuss the intricate workings of social media and its impact on our mindsets. As a prominent figure within my network marketing company, I feel compelled to share insights into the complexities of social media dynamics and how they influence our perceptions -- all this in light of what's been happening in my business. Over the past weeks, the public exits of key individuals within my company have reverberated across social media platforms, sparking widespread discussion and speculation. Despite my initial reticence to engage publicly, I recognize the importance of offering clarity and perspective amidst the digital noise. Social media serves as a double-edged sword, offering instant validation while perpetuating echo chambers of like-minded opinions. The algorithm curates content and creates feedback loops that reinforces existing beliefs, often at the expense of diverse perspectives and critical discourse. We can, if we're not careful, become more narrow minded as a direct result of how we engage on social media. In this video, I urge viewers to exercise mindfulness in their social media interactions, recognizing the power they wield as both consumers and creators of content. By fostering a culture of intentionality and responsible sharing, we can mitigate the negative effects of social media echo chambers and empower others to make informed decisions. Join me as we navigate the complexities of social media and strive to be conscientious stewards of digital discourse. Your engagement and thoughtful consideration are vital in shaping a more inclusive and constructive online community. Stay tuned for more insights and discussions in future episodes.

🎙️Tribalism in Business: Why It's Killing Your Sales🎙️
Send us a text Welcome back to another thought-provoking episode of the ReDEFINE Podcast! Today, we're diving deep into the murky waters of tribalism and its toxic impact on business success. Strap in, because this is a journey you won't want to miss! 🚀 In our last episode, we explored the nuances between employee and entrepreneurial mindsets, emphasizing the importance of personal choice. But now, let's shine a spotlight on tribalism—a silent killer lurking in the shadows of our business conversations. 🕵️♂️ Picture this: You're in a sales pitch, passionately extolling the virtues of your product or service. Suddenly, your prospect hesitates or raises objections. Cue the defensive reflexes, the instinctual urge to protect our turf at all costs. But here's the harsh truth: Tribalism repels potential customers faster than you can say "closed deal." 🚫 So, how do we break free from this destructive cycle? It starts with awareness—recognizing when we're slipping into tribalistic thinking and course-correcting in real-time. Instead of seeing rejection as a personal attack, let's reframe it as an opportunity to learn and grow. 💡 At its core, business is about serving others. It's about solving problems, not proving our superiority. By shifting our focus from self-preservation to genuine empathy and problem-solving, we can forge stronger connections and drive sustainable growth. 💼💪 Join us on this enlightening journey as we uncover the hidden pitfalls of tribalism and chart a course towards a more inclusive, customer-centric approach to business.

🚀Audience Growth Secrets: Value, Consistency, and Beyond!
Send us a text Welcome to another episode where we unravel the intricacies of content creation and publishing. Today, we explore the depths of being a purposeful and intentional content creator. While I promised insights into my content structure and social media strategy in the upcoming episode, I found it essential to revisit the basics of content creation. 🔍 Navigating the Front End of Your Social Media Funnel Imagine your social media journey as a funnel, with content creation at the forefront. If your content lacks engagement, the entire funnel collapses. Let's gain clarity on this pivotal topic to know not only what to do but to understand the "why." 🎯 Defining Your Content's Purpose: Beyond Sales! Begin by asking, "What is the purpose of my content?" For many entrepreneurs, the immediate answer is business growth. However, remember, in the marketing funnel, sales happen on the back end. Avoid the common mistake of placing sales on the front end, making your content resemble an incessant sales pitch. 👥 The Primary Goal: Cultivating Your Audience The true front-end goal is to grow an audience. People are the key to your content strategy. Learn how to provide value—whether it's educational, entertaining, or inspirational. The content should be something your audience connects with, resonates with, and keeps coming back for. 🔄 Two-Part Strategy: Provide Value & Be Consistent 1️⃣ Provide Value: Understand the myriad forms value can take and tailor it to your authentic self. For me, it's education and coaching, but for you, it might be different. The key is to create content that people find valuable and want to revisit. 2️⃣ Be Consistent: Find a balance between quality and quantity. Consistency is vital, so determine a cadence that works for you without burning out. Whether it's daily or a few times a week, maintain a cadence that keeps you on the forefront of your audience's minds without overwhelming them. 📈 The Outcome: Growing Your Audience and Boosting Success By consistently providing value and growing your audience, you ensure your content serves its purpose. As your audience expands, more people move through your funnel, ultimately leading to increased success. 🔗 Next Episode Sneak Peek: My Content Structure and Social Media Strategy!

🌟 Show Up Authentically: Balancing Authenticity and Growth 🌟
Send us a text In today's episode, we delve into the importance of showing up as your authentic self, both in your online content and your day-to-day interactions. Building on our previous discussion about the pitfalls of comparing ourselves to curated content, we explore the balance between authenticity and presenting our best selves. Firstly, we focus on offline interactions, emphasizing the significance of being true to oneself while acknowledging and learning from mistakes. We challenge the notion that being authentic excuses harmful behavior, advocating for a higher standard that promotes personal growth. Transitioning to the realm of content creation, we address the common trend of showcasing only a narrow, curated version of life. While stunning visuals may initially captivate an audience, we highlight the importance of incorporating the human side into content. By revealing challenges, admitting flaws, and showcasing the journey towards improvement, creators can forge deeper connections with their audience. The episode concludes with a reminder to authentically show up in both life and content creation, striking a balance between curated perfection and genuine human experience.

Lives of Quiet Desperation - Turning Resolutions into Real Results!
Send us a text Welcome back to the ReDEFINE Podcast! In today's episode, we're delving into the complexities of the holiday season carryover and gearing up for the new year. Specifically, I want to address the significant gap many people feel between their current reality and their envisioned future. 🎯 Setting Resolutions vs. Building a Lifestyle of Growth As we approach the new year, resolutions become commonplace, but let's face it, they often fizzle out. Why? Because they focus on committing to a year-long goal without addressing the daily habits needed for success. In this episode, we're reframing resolutions, turning them into a gradual lifestyle shift. Learn how to integrate personal development into your daily routine and make consistent progress, step by step. 💡 The Pitfalls of Non-Action and Desperation Ever felt that sense of quiet desperation, questioning why your life isn't aligning with your dreams? It's a common struggle, and today we're uncovering the root cause: non-action. Most people get stuck in a loop of demoralization and frustration because they're not bridging the gap between vision and action. 🔑 Skill Acquisition and Confidence Building Breaking free from the cycle requires two things: skill acquisition and confidence building. The internet is a goldmine of resources; lack of skill is no longer an excuse. Learn, implement, and gain competence. Confidence follows suit. I share personal examples, including my podcasting journey, to illustrate how overcoming fear and embracing action can transform your capabilities. 🚨 Attack Non-Action with Skill Development The crux of a resolution is often inaction. If you're stuck, lacking skills, or feeling overwhelmed, this episode is your wake-up call. Attack non-action by acquiring new skills and implementing them immediately. Break the negative loop, boost your confidence, and start actively creating the life you desire. 🌟 Take Control, Stop Living in Desperation It's time to stop living lives of quiet desperation. Take control of your destiny, break free from negative feedback loops, and actively shape the outcomes you desire.

From Setback to Comeback: Resilience and Rebuilding - My Journey Back to Business and Purpose
Send us a text 🎙️ Welcome back to the ReDefine Podcast! In this episode, we delve deeper into my business journey and the resurgence of content creation. If you haven't caught the last episode on reclaiming my health, now's the perfect time to get up to speed! 🔔 Remember to hit that share button! This podcast is dedicated to providing valuable, free content for your marketing journey. Your support is greatly appreciated. 💡 Let's jump into my return to the business arena, commencing with the power of mindset. After taking necessary time to process things post-funeral, I temporarily scaled back my presence on social media and content creation. 🎧 I took a hiatus from my usual podcasts and audiobooks, prioritizing quality time with loved ones. This proved pivotal in my healing journey. Concurrently, I embarked on the path of restoring my health in late August. 📆 Initially, I had plans for an extended hiatus, leveraging the flexibility afforded to me by my network marketing income. Unexpected developments within my company, however, hastened my return. Looking back, I'm appreciative of the newfound sense of purpose. 🌪️ Company upheaval led to a ripple effect, resulting in disengagement within my organization. This presented a separate challenge, propelling me back into action. I even took on another side-hustle to augment income and add a change of scenery. 💪 Presently, I'm actively reconstructing my network marketing business with Yoli. It's a focused endeavor, driven by a crystal-clear vision. My aim is to produce content that bolsters my business by teaching marketing principles and techniques to network marketers and then giving them a track to run on. 🚀 Looking ahead, I'm dedicated to reinvigorating the network marketing profession. Ambitious plans encompass events and courses designed to empower others. The distinctions between affiliate, influencer, and network marketing are blurring, and it's time to embrace this evolution. 📚 I wholeheartedly recommend "Evolve Your Brain" by Joe Dispenza, an in-depth exploration of the power of mindset, and "$100 Million Offers" by Alex Hermosi, an invaluable resource for marketers. 🌟 Always remember, purpose isn't handed to us; we choose it. Even amid adversity, we hold the power to chart our own course. The universe extends opportunities, but seizing them rests squarely on our shoulders. 🙏 Thank you for embarking on this journey with me. Stay tuned for more episodes. Until then, take care and stay safe! 🔥 📚 Recommended Books: "Evolve Your Brain" by Joe Dispenza - https://amzn.to/3Mxflq2 "$100 Million Leads" by Alex Hormosi - https://amzn.to/3QJ6rYX Join the ReDefined Community for live recordings and more insights: http://facebook.com/redefinecommunity 📅 New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday at 6:00 AM EST! 📅<b

Losing My Daily Publishing Streak!!!
Send us a text There are things happening in my life currently that may hinder my ability to publish a new daily episode in the coming weeks. Am I bummed about it? Not really. While daily content publishing is important to me and the goal of hitting 365 days of continual podcasting is still something I want to achieve, I know there are more important things in life than my work. Also, just because I miss a day or two here and there doesn’t mean I’ll lose all my progress. It’s really just a matter of picking up where I left off. My audiences will still be engaged. My visibility and online presence won’t have just disappeared. And the skillsets I’ve developed and honed will always be with me. If I do miss a day, understand that it’s me exercising boundaries between my work and the things that truly matter in my life. Yes my work and my content publishing and marketing matter. But the things I’m doing all of this work for matter more. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Your Content Focus is Too Narrow
Send us a text Social media is still used for “social” purposes — content that keeps peer groups connected through status updates. These snapshots give people a peak into each others’ lives. And that’s all well and good. If you intend to use the social platforms for content marketing however, you have to shift away from broadcasting personal updates to content that is relevant to a much larger group of people. Provide value in your content, the kind of value that will attract new audiences as well as keep your existing audience engaged. Stop talking about yourself because that’s only relevant and interesting to a small select group of people. So broaden your content focus. Provide value and service and you’re sure to be much more effective with your content strategy. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

My Content Flow and How I Built Up to It
Send us a text I’m outputting a lot of content. On the surface it would seem impossibly to manage all of content I publish every day. So here’s how I do it. I started with this podcast. My goal was to publish a new episode every day for 100 days so I kept the process as simple as possible and just recorded everything on my phone. After a brief while I decided I might as well record a video version of the show so I can have daily content for my YouTube channel as well. It was easy enough to pull the audio from the clips and use it as the podcast version. Once I got used to that level of output I began cutting the videos into shorter clips to use as reels on Instagram and other short form content platforms. From there I then added original short form reels that weren’t cut from the podcasts videos. And I’m also now doing carousel posts to add even more variety to my content publishing. It’s a lot I know. And I’m on all the major platforms too. But I want you to understand that I built my way up to the level of content output, only adding a new thing when I was comfortably handling my current load. If you’re new I suggest just picking one platform and get a handle on publishing once a day. Start with that as your baseline content flow and you can build from there. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Consistency Pays Off! I Earned the Title of Rising Creator on Facebook!
Send us a text I opened my Facebook this morning and saw a notification saying “Congratulations! You’ve earned the title of RISING CREATOR!” Not that I needed it, but the occasional external recognition is nice once in a while, recognition of the consistent effort I’ve been putting in to grow my social profiles. Consistency creates visibility, and visibility is how your audience finds you. And believe me, they’re out there. In this age of content creation, everyone has an audience. The trick is to show up consistently on the platforms for that audience to find you. Publishing regularly creates the visibility necessary for your audience to find you. There are people out there who are lookin lg for exactly what you’re sharing. It’s just a matter of showing up consistently enough for them to find you. So do the work. Show up every day and you too will one day be a Rising Creator! ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Your Content Makes a Bigger Impact Than You Think
Send us a text Everything we do has an impact. Whether you know it or not, whether you do it intentionally or not, you influencer anyone you interact with. In a story told to me by a dear friend, even the smallest act of kindness can reverberate far beyond the act itself. As he illustrated in his story, a warm smile from one stranger to another can through the ripple effect of human connectedness impact countless lives. With the internet, your ability to make an impact is amplified and multiplied. So I urge you to be really mindful of what you’re putting out there. Be more purposeful and intentional with your content because it too will reverberate out far beyond yourself. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

A Common Content Mistake You Might Be Making
Send us a text Delivering value in your content is paramount. But, often people mistake the simple act of teaching as value delivered. And I get it. The phrase “provide value” can elicit a reaction that you have to be a guru and an expert and to show and share that is be teaching. But how you teach is just as important as the act of teaching itself. Sharing information as a professor might to their class, your content ends up flat and will fail to connect with audiences. People need more than information to connect with, more than teaching. They want to know there’s a human behind the content. They want context behind the principles they’re hearing. If you share a little of yourself and your journey as it relates to the information, you give them exactly that. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Don’t Make These Mistakes With Your Content Marketing
Send us a text I had an interaction recently on one of my social accounts that I thought warranted sharing with you… so that you can avoid making the same mistakes with your content marketing. It seems that this individual’s strategy is to DM accounts that could potentially be good fits for the service they provide. In the message they highlighted all the feature and benefits of their service and how they can help me improve engagement on my account. I respectfully declined. They accepted but respectfully asked in return if I could explain why I declined. And so I thought I’d answer in this episode. 1) I’m not looking for that service. I don’t want to outsource something I’ve not yet gained a mastery in. Sure it would be a short cut, but it would also short cut my own growth and capability. 2) I have no idea the value they bring. Sure they stated as much in the DM, but that type of cold contacting doesn’t really work with me (and I’d wager with many others). For this type of service, I want to know who I’m hiring and what they bring to the table. That’s what content marketing allows. People opt in to more and more value until the eventuality of a financial exchange for further value. It’s so much more effective a strategy because you’re attracting clients as opposed to cold contacting. Conversions will be higher and you won’t be limited by your ability to message people. If you want to do cold contacting, by all means go ahead. But I suggest also making sure you have a content marking funnel as well to generate traffic that’s targeted and looking for your service. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

My Analytics Are Terrible - What’s the End Game?
Send us a text I recently received a comment from a listener wondering what the end game was for continually publishing content given that my metrics and analytics are pretty bad on some of the platforms. So I wanted to answer their question and explain the big picture of my entire content marketing strategy. This podcast and the YouTube version haven’t quite gotten the traction that I know it will eventually will. Even with daily publishing, the numbers are only just recently inching forward. Givens this, the question then was, where does the revenue come from? And why keep going if there’s no perceived progress being made? I’ve addressed progress in past episodes so let me talk about the big picture. First, my network marketing business is my primary income and has been since 2013. Being in the top ten of the company the entire time, I’ve had the luxury of pouring myself fully into learning and exploring my interests — one of those things being content marketing. Second, the platform that is currently yielding the most return is Facebook. So outside of that, I’m still very much learning the ins and outs of the other platforms: YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn. And this accounts for why the analytics in those platforms aren’t as advanced as one might hope. Also too, understand that I’ve only really been publishing content on these platforms consistently since Sept 1. So the reality is that I’m still very early in the game. Lastly, the other main reason for continually publishing content despite slow results is that it’s an educational process for me. Yes I want views and likes and subscribers and monetization. But more than that I want to learn. And the most effective way I learn is in the doing. So it’s a growth and expansion of self. It’s a developmental goal. As we talked about in yesterdays episode, achievement is so much more effective when you have this in place. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Setting Two Types of Goals - the Game Changer
Send us a text There’s are two types of goals — destination goals and developmental goals. Both are important to living a life of growth. One actually makes the other more effective. When we set goals, most of us set destination goals. These are goals targeted on very specific outcomes, tangible or intangible. They can be business goals, relationship goals, health goals. These goals give us targets to work towards, a future to be excited about. The second type of goal is developmental goals. These are all about who you want and NEED to become to achieve your destination goals. Growth is necessary for the fulfillment of any destination goal. You have to develop your skill set and you mindset. Otherwise you’ll continue getting more of the same results. So in a sense, developmental goals make your destination goals much more quickly attainable. If you set a standard of who you want and need to be, then getting where you want to go will be much clearer. Setting both types of goals supercharges your jour trajectory and will be the game changer in your performance. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

The Marketing Process for My First Paid Event
Send us a text My first paid event was a huge success, if for nothing else but the incredible learning experience it proved to be. Now that I’ve gotten my first paid course under my belt (and yes, people actually paid to attend!) I have a very solid framework for how to do it again and again and again. The great thing about frameworks is that you can apply them to any contexts. So, moving forward, no matter what the offering is, I’ll be able to effectively market it because I now have a PROVEN framework. And it’s real simple: 1) Create and publish content consistently — your content serves to attract new audience, serve and build rapport with your existing audience, and keeps you on the forefront of all of their minds. 2) Free Offer — invite your most loyal audience to even more value with a free offer 3) Paid offer — invite those to even further value with a paid offer It’s really that simple. Listen to the episode and learn how you can apply this easy framework for marketing a paid offer. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Finish My Very First Paid Event, Now What?
Send us a text Now that I’ve gotten through my first paid event, ReDEFINE Network Marketing, I want to share my thoughts and reflections coming out of that event. The first thing I want to suggest is to take a break. Catch up on any sleep that you may have lost leading up to the event itself. I know I got much less sleep than usual before and during the ReDEFINE so I after it was done, I ended up sleeping in… until 2pm! The other angle of taking a break is allow yourself to NOT WORK. I’m guilty as the next person of always being hyper productive, and sometimes I forget to turn that off. Taking a step away from all of it, giving yourself space is the healthiest thing you can do after having pushed yourself so hard for the event. Give yourself time to relish in your accomplishment. This might be the most aspect of “taking a break” The other thing I wanted to share is that you’ll always feel like you could’ve done better. Do your best to move on as quickly as you can because you can’t change it . You can go back and do better. You can only go forward and do better. So focus that desire to have done better on doing better the next time, and the next time after that. These are the main things I wanted to share with you. When you do your first paid event, you may experience them too. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Network Marketing is Still the Elephant in the Room and Here’s Why
Send us a text I saw a post recently from a good friend and colleague that addressed an apparent elephant in the room, that elephant being that she is a network marketer. And I love and support it. To proudly claim network marketing as your chosen profession is important and explaining to people what we actually do helps bridge the disconnect that still exists in the general perception. However, that we still have to explain it, that the network marketing profession is still an elephant in the room points to reality that we need to face. The business model itself isn’t the cause for this. Rather, it’s how we practice and operate our business. Much of this can fixed with one simple transition — learning how to market online so that you can generate customer sales. It’s simple. Network marketing doesn’t have to be an elephant in the room if we didn’t do things in a way that makes people want to avoid us. Learning marketing and generating sales without the need to talk to your friends and family is the shortest path to clearing our name. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Send us a text Here are the reasons why you have a hard time staying consistent: 1) You’re not getting results - reality is you ARE getting results. They’re just not the results you want. Analyze and see where you can make adjustments so that you can improve your results moving forward. 2) You don’t know what to do - lack of knowledge and inexperience leads to inaction. The simple answer is to be willing to always learn. Not knowing how to do something should never be the the excuse you stop doing what you need to do to achieve your dreams 3) You haven’t created structure - when your goal is new and fresh, it’s easy to stay consistent because you’re excited and enthusiastic and motivated to work. But that all wears off and when it does structure will keep you accountable. 4) You’re not attached to a strong purpose - having a strong WHY is the foundation of everything. With it, you can face any adversity that comes your way. A strong purpose keeps you consistent ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Not Getting the Results You Want? Listen Up!
Send us a text The frustration of not getting the results you want is an all too familiar experience for me. I struggled for years early in my career before I made any tangible progress. I learned over time that even though I felt like I wasn’t getting results, my consistent effort was actually moving me closer and closer to my goals (albeit imperceptibly). That said, I felt like I wasn’t seeing results because I was so focused on the fact that I hadn’t attained my goal yet. I was focused on the lack of the thing instead of paying attention to the feedback I was getting back from my efforts. When I figured this out, I finally could start using that feedback as data to inform any changes to might need to make in my strategies, activities, even mindsets. So it’s not so much that you’re not getting results. It that you’re not heeding the results your getting because you’re so focused on not have yet attained your goal. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Why My First Go at Content Creation FAILED
Send us a text Finally arriving at a point of profitability with my content creation, I reflect back on when I first entered stepped onto the field and the stark difference between my results then vs now. What accounts for why my content creation is so much more effective now? Of course technology has vastly evolved since then and the tools and platforms we have at our disposal now far eclipse anything we had back then. Plus there is so much more QUALITY education available now, many more people who have successfully blazed an online trail. But beyond these factors I think the main difference that accounts for my current success is my commitment to seeing it through. When I first tried my hand with content creation, I was hoping for quick results. I was broke and NEEDED to succeed so I could pay the bills. After not achieving this with content creation, I directed my attention elsewhere to other methods that I hoped would bring me the results I needed. Now, I’m all in. I set my mind to not stopping this content creation trajectory until I’ve achieved the results I originally only wished for. And as such I’ve made more progress in the last 18 months than I did the entire time since my first foray back some fifteen years ago. I will say I’m more enamored with content creation now than I’ve ever been Cheers☺️ ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Do You Procrastinate and Cram? This Episode is for You
Send us a text You might think that procrastination and cramming are related, that the former leads to the latter. But not always. Procrastination is an avoidance pattern. You put off doing a thing because it presents some level of discomfort. Instead, you replace it with something less challenging, something to distract you from the discomfort you know you’ll eventually have to face. For the self-employed entrepreneur, procrastination is a death sentence for your business. Putting things off means pushing off potential profit. Procrastinate long enough and you go out of business. So we have to set deadlines for ourselves, hard dates to accomplish a task — write content, publish a post, launch a course. Without hard dates, we can find ourselves in a perpetual state of revising, adding and subtracting from the project we need to launch. Set a hard deadline and commit to it. Use every ounce of discipline you have to not stray. Even if you miss the mark a bit, at least you’ll have made some headway and have data to make improvements moving forward. As you get closer to these deadlines you’ll want to cram. You are undoubtedly on a grow path so that means continually learning and expanding your knowledge and expertise. And you’ll want to include everything you’ve learned to the very last minute. That’s normal. You’ll always feel like it’s not ready so you’ll push and cram to to the very last minute to make the thing the best it can be. So you see, in this context procrastination and cramming aren’t related. Procrastination is an unproductive pattern of avoidance and cramming is wanting to deliver the best possible product you can. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Putting on Your First LIVE Paid Course
Send us a text Live courses have their unique set of challenges. PAID live courses raise the stakes even higher. The pressures of delivering a high level of value in a paid course are multiplied ten-fold. So here are some things to consider before jumping into your first paid offering. Don’t rush it. Beyond the content of the course itself, there are so many moving pieces even with the simplest of events. To manage this, I got my feet wet with a free class first. This allowed me to tackle a few moving pieces without sacrificing the quality of the course content. A few times over, adding more and more of the back end logistics, and before you know it, I was ready to put on my first paid course. The other thing I want to remind you of is your content itself. It takes priority over everything else. Bells and whistles, aesthetics and production value can suffer but content cannot. No matter how complicated or simple your event logistics are, you must always strive to over deliver. Teach you a$$ off I will report back once my event is done and share reflections things I’ve learned.

With my upcoming event, Re:DEFINE Network Marketing being my first paid event, the stakes are higher than they’ve ever been to pull off the best event yet.

Should You Practice Exclusivity in Your Business
Send us a text Exclusivity works very well from a sales psychology standpoint. Consumers are willing to pay premium dollar for access to exclusive products and services. The more exclusive, the higher the price they’re willing to pay. But there is a risk. Sometimes exclusivity can become toxic, used to keep people out, to purposefully exclude. The exclusivity comes from not “allowing” certain groups of people access. You can be inclusive while also practicing exclusivity in your business. This is done by allowing your audience the choice. Your marketing funnel allows people to select for themselves what level of exclusivity they’d like to participate in. That’s the beauty of this entire model. People make their own choice and you simply provide high quality service at every level. In fact, the better the quality of the value you give, the more you increase the likelihood of people selecting higher levels of exclusivity (ie - more sales and profit) So provide exclusivity in your business through your offerings and make those offering available for everyone to choose what level they’d like to participate. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Empathy: the Secret Sauce to Massive Success
Send us a text It’s a simple formula. Building communities drives growth and building connection drives communities. Since empathy and understanding that drive human connection, it stands to logic that empathy and understanding drives it all. If you want stratospheric levels of success and achievement, you must cultivate your empathy and compassion for others struggles. Of you are unintentional with the influences you allow on your mindset, you may think that there is no more understanding, that connection with your fellow human beings has become less and less possible.

Hitting Rock Bottom - a Catalyst for Change?
Send us a text Is hitting rock bottom necessary for making lasting changes in your life? No, it’s not. Thankfully for most, the discomfort of hitting rock bottom far outweighs the discomfort of change. So, making a change is the natural choice. Just be careful not to make decisions based in volatile emotional states. If you choose a new course base on reactive fear and lack and desperation, you’re less likely to see it through than if you were to choose a track that inspires and moves you. Now, if you’re in a position of relative comfort and stability, change isn’t quite so easy to face. Understand that you have to be proactive and adopt a growth mindset because the simple truth is that time is always moving forward and the world is always changing. And if you don’t keep up, your current stability will gradually fade and you’ll find yourself playing catch up. So change is inevitable… for everyone. Be proactive and choose a life of growth and discovery. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

How to Stand Out in a Crowded Space
Send us a text The internet, especially social media, can feel like a crowded space. And if you’re wanting to break into that space, if you want to stake your claim as an influencer, you have to stand out. But how? Chances are there are tons of people already doing what you’re tying to accomplish, all of whom have the advantage of experience and expertise. The natural inclination is to do something completely different, to zig when everybody else is zagging, to come up with something so innovative and different, to be contrarian even. The idea is you’re innovation is going to be so groundbreaking that you end up creating an entirely new market. Unfortunately, the opposite ends up happening. You create something so new and different and innovative… something that people don’t actually need nor are looking for. Look, I’m not telling you to NOT innovate. But don’t be different just for the sake of being different, just for the sake of hopefully eking out a space in a crowded market. Especially when you don’t need to. To stand out in the social spheres all you need is to be authentically YOU. You are utterly and completely unique in your perspective, your voice, your experience, and personality. Bringing that to your content, that authenticity, that humanity is what will draw your audience in. It’s what they will connect to and continue to come back for. So regardless if there are already people doing what you want to do, show up as YOU. That’s how you’ll stand out. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Is the ReDEFINE Network Marketing Movement too RISKY?
Send us a text As the launch of ReDEFINE Network Marketing on May 4th looms, I more and more vascular between being excited and having massive doubts. After all, I’m calling for a complete upheaval of the network marketing profession, a topic that has the potential of being incredibly volatile. Should I just stick to what I know has worked for others in the digital education space? The thought has certainly crossed my mind more than once. I know my road to success would be less fraught with unknowns and what ifs if I followed already proven paths. However, I think I would be much leas fulfilled. Yes, greater risk reap greater rewards but the real reward for me is building something I really believe in, something that drives me, something I feel will truly make an impact. That’s why I do what I do. Sure there’s a tremendous amount of uncertainty in taking on a mission like this. But, movements don’t happen form the safety of your comfort zone.

Risk vs Reward: How Evolution Might be Holding You Back
Send us a text Risk vs Reward — it’s something you juggle everyday especially if you’re an entrepreneur. Is what you’re about to do worth the risk, or are your emotional warning signs — fear, doubt, lack of confidence — indications to step back into the (perceived) safety of your comfort zone? These are mechanisms that are entrained in our DNA through millions of years if evolution. Designed to ensure survival, this programming is largely obsolete since basic survival (generally speaking) is all but ensured. This survival mechanism remains however and is expressed in social and emotional realms. Bad news for entrepreneurs because this means we innately resist stepping out of the accepted societal norms. We also have a part of our hardwiring that is curious and inquisitive. We have a natural proclivity to ask deep questions and seek meaning. This is the part of us that opens to creativity and exploration. The balance I find is in knowing that growth and creation lie beyond my comfort zone and that there is no growth, no discovery without risk. So be willing take a step into the unknown. You’ll be amazed what you’ll discover there. ======= Here the episode of Motivation with Brendon Burchard that I referenced: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/motivation-with-brendon-burchard/id821746377?i=1000609630551 ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Top 5 Reasons People are Afraid of Content Creation Part 2
Send us a text Part 2 of why people are afraid of content creation we discuss the following: 4. “I can’t think of content” This is another legitimate concern especially given the standard of publishing at least one piece of content every day. It certain was a worry for me. So here are a few things you can do - before starting out make a list of at least 25 topic ideas. This will help kick start your content creation - keep a running list; when ideas pop in your head, get into the habit of jotting them down immediately; I keep my running list on my phone because I pretty much have it with me at all times. - learn how ti leverage AI tools; while I haven’t felt the need ti do this yet, many are turning to AI like Chat GPT to help generate topic ideas for content, especially content that people are searching for 5. “I don’t know where to start” It’s overwhelming. The online marketing space is vast. There are so many different avenues to follow and gurus to learn from and countless strategies. One thing I can suggest is following people who have achieved the results you’re working towards. Follow their trajectories can at the very least help you get started. And of course, I have the Re:DEFINE Network Marketing event on May 4-6 where I’ll be teaching everything I’ve learned in the last year and a half intensively studying content marketing and social media marketing.

Top 5 Reasons Why People Are Afraid of Content Creation Part 1
Send us a text There are a lot of reasons people are afraid and reluctant to get into the content creation space. In this two part series, we’ll explore the ones most often expressed to me. 1. “I don’t know how to make professional quality content.” You don’t need to. While I recognize the growing demand for content of high production value, this is not a real barrier to getting started. Your production skills will naturally improve over time. The main thing is you have to get started. 2. “I don’t want to be on camera.” While non-video content options are available, I always encourage stepping in front of the camera. You can communicate so much more and get so much more across with video because there’s so much more to communication than just words. Also, you’re likely already posting content with yourself in the video. It’s just that it’s for updates and sharing your “current situation”. So it’s just a matter of transitioning that content to stuff that’s brings intentional value. 3. “There are too many platforms and so many strategies!” That’s of course true, but there’s no rule saying you have to be on all of them at the same time. Start small. Choose the platform that you spend the most time on, the one that you like and enjoy the most. Then it’s just a matter of posting content every day on that platform and you’ll come to learn the best practices and strategies for that platform. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

What’s Your DEFAULT Setting?
Send us a text The default setting is how you revert to when your conscious facilities aren’t engaged. We all have a default in every aspect of life. And it’s a matter of knowing what that default is if you want to make changes. This level of awareness is important in developing a high performance and success mindset. For example, my defaults around my health is such that I always get a regular workout in — even while on vacation. I learned a long time ago that physical activity was integral to my metal and physical health so I developed the default of making sure I get that activity in regardless of my circumstance. Same with “work”. My default around my goals is that I make sure to do something everyday to love the needle closer to fulfilling those goals. Whether it’s creating content, or writing, or even meeting new people and expanding my network, there’s a consistent daily activity. That’s what the default is. It’s your autopilot. And it’s largely responsible for the results you have in life because it runs the majority of the time. So if you want to make changes, the very first step is growing an awareness around your defaults. If you don’t, they’ll always sabotage any work you do towards your new goals. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Why Network Marketers Fail on Social Media Part 2
Send us a text Here’s Part 2 of why network marketers fail on social media. Perhaps the most important reason I wanted ti lean on social media and content creation for my marketing was to grow my audience. After all, the health of any network marketing business rests on the health of one’s “list”. With the social media “list” being your audience, it stands to logic that you’ll want to consistently have new people tuning in to your content. If not, then you’ll be talking (and selling) to the same people over and over again. So, your content then has to provide value to your existing audience as well as the audience you hope to attract. This requires much more intentionality and purposefulness with your content creation and publishing if you want to use social media to grow your network marketing business. The final reason why network marketers fail on social media is because they aren’t willing to take the time and make the effort to actually learn it. Which honestly, boggles my mind. Yes it can be daunting. Yes it can be intimidating. It can be overwhelming and confusing. But so is everything when you first start it. As entrepreneurs, we must be willing to constantly learning and adapting and educating ourselves. That’s why I put together the Re:DEFINE Network Marketing event in May where I’ll teach you everything you need to know to succeed on social media.

Why Network Marketers Fail on Social Media Part 1
Send us a text In this two part series, I go over the Top 5 mistakes network marketers make on social media. Part 1 primarily discusses our misconceptions of marketing. - marketing is sales - marketing is advertising - social media is the avenue to broadcast While all those things aren’t inaccurate, social media requires much more nuance in how you present your “marketing”. 1. You can’t always sell. You’re not the company. You’re a person. People want to see you humanity, not a commercial for products you’re hoping to profit from 2. Marketing, especially social media marketing, is more than just advertising. Copying and pasting corporate assets and copy from their website isn’t what your audience wants to see from you 3. Social media isn’t broadcast advertising. You have to give your audience something to connect to — namely your story More in the next episode☺️ ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

When is the Right Time to Change Network Marketing Companies?
Send us a text When is the right time to change network marketing companies? Is there a right time to change network marketing companies? It depends. If you’ve struggled to reach your goals then likely it’s a skills and personal growth issue rather than a company issue. Switching companies isn’t the answer to your network marketing woes. If you have reached a high level of success and achievement within your company but maybe have become unsure or uneasy about things, then this might be a valid time to have this conversation. Here are three criteria I think everyone should consider when thinking about changing network marketing companies: 1) Is the company solvent or is there a downward trend that may lead to it closing its doors? I have many colleagues over the years achieve massive success and build huge organizations only to have it all disappear overnight because of mismanagement from the corporate leadership. 2) Is the comp plan RELEVANT? About ten years ago, the conversation in network marketing shifted to focus more on customer sales rather than distributor recruitment. However, comp plans didn’t adjust to actually compensate the distributors for this shift. Only recently have network marketing companies updated their compensation plans to compensate for customer acquisition and sales. This essential comp plan update will keep companies relevant and competitive in the marketplace. 3) Is the culture changing? It happens. If you’re fortunate enough to be with a company that’s ten years or older, then you’ll likely experience this. If the company culture shifts to something you don’t want to be a part of, you can either break off and start your own independent team culture or seek out your ideal elsewhere. Dissatisfaction in this category ultimately results in decline in business. So create or find a culture that feels right to you. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

The Dangers of Being the Only Game in Town
Send us a text Positioning yourself as the only game in town is much more dangerous than you know. Not only will this narrow your potential for success, but it also put your business at risk of collapsing the minute you make a bad decision. It’s really a question of good leadership. A good leader fosters an environment where people have enough autonomy to self-actualities. This gives them agency and space to voice ideas and innovations. That then leads to buy-in.

Redefining Network Marketing Systems
Send us a text If we’re going to Re:DEFINE network marketing, one of the most important fundamental shifts we need to make is in our systems . Network Marketing systems have historically been designed to create one result: RECRUITMENT. The faster we can help the incoming distributors recruit their first handful of members, the more likely they are to stick around. But with that version of the business opportunity becoming less and less relevant in today’s marketplace, the effectiveness of these systems continues to dramatically decrease. I believe to solution is to create systems that focus primarily on teaching distributors principle based, practical skills that they can then use to generate customer sales and the resulting commissions. The practical skills I’m referring to of course is online marketing. You might be thinking, “Ronnie, that would take way too long. It would be impossible to gain the momentum needed to build any kind of downline.” Yes, that is true. But remember, on of the things the Re:DEFINE Network Marketing movement calls for is an adjustment in comp plans to directly pay out for customer acquisition and sales. When this happens, the focus can start shifting away from building downlines. So you won’t need momentum to create income for youself. Moreover, people are already accustomed to the “education as preparation for career/work” process. So they already have a built-in understanding that there’s a lag time between getting started and results. Also, if we set the correct expectations up front, expectations of what the process will be like, then your potential new partner can make the best, most informed decision for themselves. And even if they end up not joining your team, it’s ok. Your income isn’t dependent on building downlines and recruiting so expedience of systems is no longer required. And because people weed themselves out or opt themselves in, you actually end up building a stronger more stable income in the long term… which has always been the goal in the first place. So let’s Re:DEFINE the network marketing systems and processes to focus on educating distributors on online marketing skills, and we can begin legitimizing our profession, and move it into the digital age. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Building Multiple Network Marketing Companies Simultaneously
Send us a text Over the years, I’ve watched countless people attempt to build multiple network marketing businesses simultaneously. And I’ve never seen a single one succeed. At least not by my personal standards of what success looks like in network marketing. And though I’m working to Re:DEFINE those standards, it certainly doesn’t include hopping company to company, sometimes juggling two or three to make a quick buck before moving in to the next new hot thing. Here’s why you can’t build multiple company’s at once: One argument for building multiple companies is that it’s a great way to diversify your income. In reality, you’re not diversifying your income but rather you’re diversifying your effort. It’s like dating multiple people at the same time — you end up with none of them because with your attention split multiple ways, you end up actually neglecting everyone. Same thing with network marketing. Simply being a part of a company doesn’t equate to income. It takes a tremendous amount of focused effort to build a network marketing business. If that effort is divided, you’ll never gain the traction needed to build any momentum. Now, there might be the argument that with having more offerings increases your chances of having a product or service that people are looking for. It’s the Walmart and Amazon model — more stuff equals more sales. You’re not Walmart or Amazon… especially if you’re still promoting the network marketing business opportunity as your primary unique selling proposition (which typically is where most companies still are). The effectiveness of network marketing rests on the connection you make with your prospect and the service you provide. We succeed because we make an impact in people’s lives. If you’re approach is to offer a suite of products, your prospect will know and feel like it’s more about the sale and less about helping them. Not that there’s anything wrong with sales or even salesmanship. That may lead to a couple of dollars here and there but it will never create the legacy type incomes. Then there’s the argument that once you’ve built a solid business in one network marketing company you can move on and build with another. Sure. But if you choose to do this, I encourage you to build it from scratch with a whole new network of people. “Well the products don’t conflict with each other so why not?” The products may not conflict with each other but the interests do. This is a natural tendency because what audience do network marketers have the easiest access to and influence with? Their existing network. If you do this, it then becomes an obvious money grab and the relationships and communities you spent so much time nurturing are instantly devalued.

Want to Get More Done? Then Do LESS!
Send us a text With our ever shortening attention spans and diminishing ability to focus, it’s easy to get pulled into new ideas and ventures. The business and marketing worlds are very much driven by the next shiniest objects. But if you really examine it, the most successful, the highest achievers and performers don’t actually have a million plates in the air spinning… not simultaneously at least. Sure top performers may have broad interests multiple ventures moving at once, but I can almost guarantee you that they didn’t build them simultaneously. It takes a high degree of focus and effort to build anything to success. If that focus and effort is too scattered it limits how far you can take any one venture. Narrow your focus on very specific outcomes and develop a mastery in the skills needed to achieve those things. And don’t move on or start anything new until you’ve hit your target.

Lessons from a Quick Visit to the Vineyard
Send us a text Growing a vineyard, growing any type of garden for that matter holds many a metaphor for business, marketing, and the entrepreneurial journey. For our most current conversations, the theme of consistency and patients in the face of the time it takes to produce results takes center stage. Our vineyard is coming into its third season. And I’ve only just barely trained the plants up to the trellis. So this means they’re still years away from producing viable fruit. Same with business. Same with network marketing. Same with content creation. It takes time and much of your work, especially early on, won’t yield any perceivable results. But trust that like the grape plants, growth and progress are happening. Stay the course. And then there are the set backs. These first two and a half years working the vineyard have been a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Animals eat the plants, main trunks snap in the winter because they’re still young and too thin, or vines decide to just Peter out and die for no reason. The journey feels like one step forward two steps back. Obviously there are tons that can go sideways in any business venture. But as long as you’re moving forward, the scales always eventually balance out and every set back presents lessons that will afford you quantum leaps forward down the road. So if you’re willing, I encourage you to get your hands in the dirt and grow a garden this year. It can help you develop the Zen patients and persistence needed in business. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

The Unseen Benefits of Organic Traffic
Send us a text I love organic traffic. It’s very much the conversation about content creation and publishing with the added dimension of that content having a direct purpose of driving traffic. Organic traffic, because it takes time to build, helps you develop mindsets for entrepreneurism — namely persistence and perseverance. It’s definitely a long term play filled with ups and downs wins and set backs, so you really have to develop a mindset of growth patience if you want to endure the slog. Building organic traffic also forces you to face your limiting beliefs — about your business, about marketing, about yourself. While there’s little to no financial risk, there’s certainly a risk to your ego and esteem. Creating and publishing content and “putting yourself out there” opens you up to judgement and criticism. So you really have to build your -self-confidence and esteem, things you should be working on already anyway but really have to address if you plan on growing organic traffic. And then of course is the connection you develop with your audience. Whatever your product or service might be, people want to know there’s a real person behind the brand. Organic traffic allows you to connect with your audience in ways they paid traffic can’t. With that connection comes influence and with that influence comes increased conversions. So, outside of generating more business, there are a ton of ancillary benefits of building organic traffic. Even if you have an operating budget to devote to paid traffic, I encourage you to also grow your organic traffic. The time and effort you invest will be well worth it. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Online Marketing Funnels Explained
Send us a text Funnels were my entry into the online marketing world. However, it’s taken me this to actually get a comfortable grasp on it. I understood it conceptually but I could really wrap my brain around how all the moving pieces worked together until I actually got those pieces on their feet. Happily, after more than a year of studying and implementing, adding a new piece of the machine with each step, I now have full grasp of online marketing funnels. And so, in this episode I draw it out for you in as simplest terms as I could. I give you the broad strokes of what an online marketing funnel looks like and how it works to bring your audience from free consumer of your content to buying customer. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Redefine Your TRIBE
Send us a text It’s said that you become like the five people you spend the most time with. After years of personal growth and also coaching others in their growth journeys, I can say that it is unequivocally true. This is why is imperative you be mindful of 1) who you’re spending time with and 2) the influence those people have on your mindset. So I encourage you, if you’re not already, to be intentional with the peer groups and circles you spend time with. Seek out individuals and groups that are in alignment with the person you want to become and the outcomes you want to create. Find role models and mentors that can guide you having already done the things you’re trying to do. And then, as you build out your business, create the kind of community and tribe that provides the same environment that allowed you to grow. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Redefining Growth and Learning
Send us a text We’ve talked about the iterative process when it comes to growth and learning. I believe it’s a topic and principle worth revisiting periodically as a reminder not to get stuck in the safety of a learning space. Growth won’t happen with just acquiring knowledge. You have to include action, you have to actually DO if you want to increase your capacity and capability. If you want to expand and create new outcomes in your life, the best and most efficient course to take is the “figure it out as you go” approach. Learning in the doing is much more effective and the shorter and quicker path to reaching your goals. And even though things can often not go as you had intended, action at the very least gives you data and feedback with which you can adjust moving forward. You can’t after all course correct a vehicle that isn’t moving. So iterate. Add one new thing to your roster every time you have a launch, or teach a course, or create a piece of content. Before you know it, you’ll find yourself with a high level of proficiency and perhaps even a sought out expert and authority in your field. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

AI is Getting You Results But at What Cost?
Send us a text Here we go again with another conversation about A.I. It’s one of those things we’ll probably have to revisit once a month. Not only is the technology evolving so quickly but how marketers are using it is has undoubtedly expanded beyond original conceived purposes. I do intend to use AI to help me with certain aspects of my content strategy. SEO for example is one of my weak points. It’s one thing that I’ve been able to wrap my head around after all these years. So with the advent of Chat GPT, I can patch this hole in my strategy and with ease (hopefully) make my content much more discoverable than it currently is. That said, I’m not going to fool myself into thinking that AI will create content for me . We marketers have a habit of being so results driven that we often (willingly) ignore how we arrive at those results. I make no judgements as to how you run your business and marketing. It completely a personal choice. But understand that it is a choice that rests on an ethical spectrum. Where on that spectrum you sit is up to you. Even though it’s not really possible to police all the content produced using AI and published without acknowledgment, it’s a question I think of policing ourselves. Personally, at this moment in history, I cannot in good conscience use AI content as if it were my own, use it just because it gets results. That’s an ethical line that I’m not willing to cross. Catch me next month and we’ll see if I’m still singing the same song😉 ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Redefining the Word INFLUENCER
Send us a text When I first heard the term “influencer” being used in popular language, I had a very specific and narrow idea of what it meant — namely Internet personalities with large followings making careers for themselves by leveraging their influence. But then as I really dove into social media marketing and content creation, my notion of what an influencer is began to expand to include coaches and teachers and experts. Beyond Internet personalities, I follow many influencers that fit this category. As I continued studying social media, the idea expanded even further. When we remove professional content creators from the equation what we’re left with the the casual users who actual use social media for what it was originally intended — social connection. Think of the last movie you saw or the last meal out you had. When you shared these things on social, don’t you think you influenced the behavior of those who see your content in their feed? If not, consider the movie Top Gun: Maverick. Released in the summer of 2022, it was a smash hit. Much of the films initial momentum was accelerated viewers sharing their experience in watching it. The buzz grew with each post and that drew more and more people out to the theaters. So in that context we are all influencers. Online or off, if we interact with another human, we influencer them for better or worse. Given that level of influence, who then is the most important person we must work to influence? Ourselves. I want you to recognize that you have much more influence than you know. How you show up will alway elicit a response from those you interact with. So if you want to have a positive impact, then you must be purposeful and intentional with how you influence yourself. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Redefining How You Think About and Use Social Media
Send us a text If you’re like me, you came into social media as a was to stay connected with your friends and family. That was the intention of social media in the first place — platforms we could use to maintain social connections. However as time has gone on, the purpose and use of social media has evolved and many are now using it for marketing. As I’ve said in recent classes and seminars, money flows where consumer eyes go. This being the case we have to Re:DEFINE how we think about and use social media if we want to leverage its power to grow our businesses. It can no longer be apps that we use to share updates on our lives but rather avenues for driving specific behaviors, the behaviors that will lead to our desired outcomes. It’s a matter of using social media more purposeful and intentional. A simple framework that I teach is: Grow your A.I.C. - Grow you AUDIENCE - Grow your INFLUENCE - Grow your CONVERSIONS, CUSTOMERS, COMMISSIONS This simple framework will help you go from using social media as a place to broadcast personal updates to using it as a tool to drive specific behaviors and create desired outcomes. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

How to Stay Excited About the Grind
Send us a text In this episode, we revisit the topics from episodes #212 and #213 to bring further clarity to the subject of handling the hustle and grind. ** I incorrectly said #213 and #214 in this episode so please forgive the oversight. The actual episodes are 212 and 213** There’s so much to be grateful for. We have to make sure we don’t get too caught up in the grind that we loose sight of all the beautiful things we love about our lives. Otherwise, what’s the point? At the same time, we want to make sure we stay energized and motivated for the grind and we do that by always keeping our dreams and goals in front of us. Staying connected to the life we’re working to create keeps us pushing especially through the more challenging phases of the grind. And as different as these two things sound, they’re actually the same thing, just different time frames. In the here and now, we have to make sure we take time to appreciate the things we love because we’re actually working to create more of that in our futures. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Justifying Who You Are at the Cost of Who You Can Become
Send us a text In a world that feels so ready and willing to invalidate our every thought and deed, it’s natural to justify and defend our very presence. We don’t need to. Though the internet might make feel the way, reality is far more kind and at least balanced with people who love you for you. Moreover, letting this way of thinking set in to become a prevailing mindset will limit your growth. If you’re justifying and defending who you are right now, then all the more difficult to move on to become who can be. The more defensive of who you are (and this happens unconsciously) the more fixed that identity becomes. Be willing to let go.

It’s easy to get lost in the grind, working day in day out. We sometimes drive ourselves so hard that we exhaust the very drive that moves us. That’s why it’s important ti always remind yourself of the vision you’re working to create. When you’ve lost the will to keep pushing, your dreams recharge you. Revisiting them everyday gives your clarity of purpose making it then easier to push and draw from the limitless wellspring of energy and motivation. So write out your dreams and goals, your vision for your life and read them every day. I’ve done this in the past. I do this in the present.

Fixed Mindsets are Killing Network Marketing
Send us a text Fixed mindsets will be the death of network marketing. If we don’t let go of this, we’ll continue to set goals within limited frameworks, we’ll continue to create limited results, results relegated to the limits of our thinking. When you set you goals, ask yourself this question: am I putting conditions on my the things I want to achieve? Am I creating a vision based on what I think I can achieve or what I actually want to achieve? This is ok if you treat your goals as “mile markers” and not endpoints. Mile markers are great temporary pit stops to reassess and set new goals. The point is to continue expanding into the next phase and the next phase after that. Doing this helps you over time develop and growth mindset. And that’s the type of mindset that will save network marketing. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

I’ve said in the past put food on the table that way you want to food on the table. But there are certain line I refuse to cross. And here’s the thing: desperate measures are only needed because of your lack of skill and capability. They come from only employing and very narrow set of strategies and tactics. If you would simple use your critical thinking, you figure way around and through challenges WITHOUT having to resort to desperate measures. It’s really that simple. In network marketing, I’ve been talking about since well before the inception of this show. And I wager that I’ll talk about it well into the future. But if you’re ready to quit the mad cycle that has become the network marketing profession and do things in a way that removes you from it all while still participating in all the benefits, then come to the free seminar I’m holding on April 1st.

The Social Media Content Shift You NEED to Make
Send us a text Most people use social media to update and stay connected with friends and family, showing them what we’re currently up to. There’s a reason why the hashtag “current situation” exists. If you want to use your social for business, here’s what you need to do: First, figure out who your ideal audience is. Ask yourself who are the people who will be buying from you. Next then is changing your conversation so it’s relevant to that audience. It’s that simple really. Now of course, you’ll want to communicate with a degree of familiarity so your content connects better with your audience. But don’t mistake this familiarity for over-sharing personal details of your life. Yes, authenticity is important, but remember, you want the conversation to be relevant to your ideal audience, NOT just your social circles ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Even if I have the means, I purposefully work with as many limitations as I can so that if forces me to think about things and approach challenges with as creatively as possible.

You have the capability to solve all the problems you encounter, but you can only do it if you’re willing to think beyond how you’ve thought.

Redefining NETWORK MARKETING
Send us a text Pre-internet, network marketing was a distribution model. You would purchase products wholesale and retail them out to your customer base. That’s where we get the stories of garages full of water filters and laundry detergent. With the internet and e-commerce, the model shifted because companies could now ship directly to the customers, whom largely were distributors themselves. Because compensation plans were designed to only to reward building a network, the primary function of the field went from distributing products to recruiting. Despite talk in the past ten years of the need to focus on customer sales, distributor behavior still if very much focused on recruiting. This I believe is at the root of network marketing’s disfunction. That’s why it’s my mission to redefine network marketing and move from a recruitment model to an actual marketing model — a model that teaches distributors how to leverage the internet and social media to generate customer sales. The implications of this movement are no less than the very survival of the network marketing profession. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Leave It All On The Dance Floor🕺🏽
Send us a text I love the saying, “Leave it all out on the dance floor.” It speaks to the freedom of unabashedly letting go and going all out. It’s a saying that applies to pretty much anything. With you content, I love this because it speaks to giving your best and your all and delivering the highest value possible, no questions. Because there can sometimes be questions. What content should I give away for free on my socials and what content can I save for my paid products? What if I’m giving away too much for free? My answer: Leave it all out in the dance floor. Give. Serve. That’s the only way your audience will get to know you and see the value that you bring to the conversation. It’s the only way they’ll ever be able to know whether to buy from you in the first place. What if I don’t have anymore content to sell because I’ve given it all away? You will. In working to provide the highest value content in all you free assets, you’ll gain such an understanding and expertise on those things that you’ll be able to dive deeper in your paid content.

😳Facebook is Dead??? My Question Is: By Whose Standards?
Send us a text People have been saying for years that Facebook is dead. Before that they said that email is dead. After that, Instagram and then Snapchat after that and so on and so on. Does it make it true? No. As of this writing there are a reported 2.95 BILLION active MONTHLY users on Facebook. By those stats alone, I can conclude that Facebook is not dead. Far from it. The better question then might be: Is Facebook still an effective platform for marketing? It depends on you. And the same goes for any platform. I’ve been effectively using Facebook to increase my visibility online. It’s helped increase traffic to my podcast, my online and virtual classes, and overall has increased and improved my influence across all platforms. You can do the same and on any platform.

The Things That Drive Us: Are You Pushing Or Punishing Yourself?
Send us a text High achievers, listen up. This was a wake up call that hit me like a ton of bricks. We push ourselves, always to the next outcome working towards the next goal. Higher and higher up the achievement ladder we go. And that ok. However, have you ever stopped and asked yourself what’s really driving you? I was definitely driven by a desire for excellence and continually challenging myself. But underneath that drive was an unconscious unworthiness, buried so deep that it wasn’t until well into my 40’s that I actually realized it was there. Thankfully, on a one fateful afternoon as I was pounding out my daily ten mile run, I woke up to the fact that I was pushing so hard not just because I was working towards excellence but also because I was punishing myself for feeling not good enough. This was driving me and had been for so long. Not anymore. If this is you, let go. There’s no standard or measure that we have to live up except our own. And understand that even if you fall short of those standards now and then, it doesn’t make you any less worthy. Own your worthiness and you can push and drive yourself as hard as you want and enjoy the process the entire time. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

There is No Such Thing as Certainty
Send us a text There is. But not where you might think. In as volatile and frantic a world as the one we live in, the need to create certainty and stability in your life is a natural reaction. However, it’s a fools errand because it’s actually impossible to achieve certainty externally. It doesn’t exist. You can however cultivate internal certainty. Not to say that you can one hundred percent control your circumstances and the things happening around you. But you can definitely control how you respond to those things. You can develop resilience, esteem, and confidence that you can manage whatever life throws at you. If we don’t cultivate inner certainty, if we’re always looking ti our external circumstances for certainty, we leave ourselves open to manipulative marketing practices. It’s out there. Some of the oldest fundamentals in sales and marketing that still get taught and are practiced to this day were built on human psychology. These tactics prey on our innate hardwiring and leave us susceptible to manipulation. So keep this in check. Develop and cultivate your inner certainty. You’ll be much better off. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Is Your Content Doing More Harm Than Good?
Send us a text Here we go again.

And that la the problem isn’t it? A catchy quote, however well intentioned, if not thought out thoroughly can gravely miss the mark. This one for example excuses the reader of responsibility and reenforces a belief that one’s pease of mind is dependent in external circumstances. As influencers and thought leaders, especially those of us in the coaching world, we have to really take care the messages we’re broadcasting.

Routines vs Rituals - One May Be Stunting Your Progress
Send us a text We all have routines. Morning routines, routines at work, routines for getting ready for bed. Routines are important and help us get stuff done, especially as packed and busy our lives can be. Routines help us keep order in what otherwise could be a very chaotic life. When routines are imbued with emotion, when there there’s an emotional attachment, it then becomes ritual, and here’s where we can get into trouble. If our emotional stability is anchored to a routine (i.e. it’s become ritualized), what happens if unexpected circumstances throws things off? Routine is good but we need flexibility if and when things don’t go according to schedule. We lose that flexibility if we’ve ritualized our routines, if we’ve attached our emotional stability to those routines. So be careful that you’ve distinguished between your routines and your rituals. Rituals certainly have their place. But not in our tasks and to do’s. This detachment is essential to progress and growth in your business. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Send us a text Here we go again — a conversation about A.I. It’s inevitable. The speed at which not only advancing but being adopted by the masses, this repeated conversation is unavoidable. In this episode I share my opinion on whether all content will be A.I. generated in the future. There are some who believe it will be (or at least have stated as much — likely to get a rise out of people, create a buzz, and get more clicks to their posts) My answer: NO Even though marketers and business owners see social platforms and online publishing platforms as tools for marketing, there are still people who use these platforms for social connections and interaction. Now for marketers, it may be a different story. I definitely can see the majority of marketers adoring A.I. to generate content because well, marketers are always looking for short cuts to their desired outcomes. But remember, while a A.I. short cut might provide a quicker path to your goal, it can short cut your learning and therefore stunting the expansion of your capabilities and proficiencies. Let’s continue to not let these amazing tools like A.I. turn us into lazy thinkers. ================ Here’s the episode of Content is Profit I redeemed on todays show: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/content-is-profit/id1503613963?i=1000603123119 ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Listen to This Before You Outsource
Send us a text Outsourcing has been on my mind lately. As my content output increases and my project roster fills up, demands on my time will make outsourcing a necessity. But when should I do it? For me it’s a simple answer. Largely because this is as much a learning journey as it is to build a business and brand, I will only outsource when I feel I’ve reached a proficiency in the task I’m considering outsourcing. I want to learn how to do a thing thoroughly before outsourcing it so I know what I’m actually outsourcing and whether it’s something I need in the first place. The process as much as the task itself is something I want to have a grasp of and if I outsource before that, then I may end up paying for services that’s not even needed in the first place. Moreover, if I outsource something before learning it, I can’t rightly teach that thing as part of my provides. How can I teach something I haven’t learned and done? The only honest way to teach it would then be to teach to outsource it. This of course creates a barrier for my students who don’t have working budgets. So my suggestion: Do as much as you can for as long as you can for free. Outsource once you’ve gained proficiency and the demand for your time is needed elsewhere to expand into the next phase of growth in your business. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Why I LOVE Limitations
Send us a text The topic of limitations builds on our conversation about education. I love limitations because they force me to use my critical thinking to find solutions. That’s growth. That’s learning. Don’t be afraid of limitations. Don’t run from challenges. Facing those with curiosity and inquisitiveness is the path to discovery. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Learning is Much More Than Consuming Information
Send us a text Here’s the crux of self-education, especially in the internet age: consuming information does not equate to education. If you’re like me, you grew up in an education system that rewarded regurgitation of information. So it’s no wonder that we approach self-education, especially with the access the internet gives us to said information, the same way. Heck, there’s even a saying that “knowledge is POWER”! No it’s not. Just knowing things doesn’t amount to learning. Just consuming information doesn’t grow your proficiency and capability. You can to develop your critical thinking facilities and also apply the things you’re learning Otherwise, you’re just cutting yourself short. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

The Best Sources of Self-Education (from FREE to High Ticket)
Send us a text I’m a firm believer in self-education, especially for entrepreneurs. Once “formal” education is completed, many make the assumption that learning is done but that’s obviously not true. We can and should continue to learn til we the day we can’t! This means, after schooling is done, education is largely going to be our own responsibility. Thank the Force for the internet!😆 Some of the best free education I’ve gotten in the past year has come from podcasts. Hands down my favorite form is self-education with the added bonus of the shows exposing me to other resources from a particular educator. Then of course there’s YouTube university, the go to source for how to. Leaky pipe? YouTube it. Building a chicken coop? YouTube it. Most of the educators you’re already following on other platforms will likely have a YouTube channel as well so if that’s your preferred way to consume education, then you’re in luck. Once you’ve exhausted your free options and your ready to invest money into your education (and yourself) the best place to start is books. They’re a generally low entry point. From there, education can range from the hundreds and well into the hundreds of thousands, even millions depending on what you’re willing to invest. Whatever the case, be cautious with where you invest when it comes to education. There are a lot of people out there in the space and not all of them have your best interests in mind. ======================= Here’s the link to the episode of Jenna Kutcher’s Goal Digger Podcast I referenced in today’s show: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-goal-digger-podcast/id1178704872?i=1000602267995 ====================== If you think you’re ready for personal coaching or are at least curious as to what that looks like, message me on Instagram @theronniecruz ====================== ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Coming Attractions!!! Now that the Masterclass is done, WHAT’S NEXT?
Send us a text In this episode I just wanted to let you know what’s coming down the pipeline so you can be prepared. For sure more classes, both free and paid. And in fact by the time this riposted releases, I’ll probably have target dates for March and April and what the launches for those months will be. There are also books in the works, a series called re:DEFINE The first one I’ll be releasing is specific to the Network Marketing profession. I think it’s a more urgent conversation and I really wanted to get the information out there sooner rather than later. And lastly, personal coaching. I realize that there may be some of you who don’t want to wait for the classes and books and are ready to get my help NOW. That’s why I’ve decided to make myself available for personal coaching. There are different packages available so if this is something you’re interested in at all, please message me at my Instagram (@theronniecruz) and we can see if personal coaching is a right fit for us. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

I Just Taught My First Masterclass - Here’s What Happened
Send us a text Going into the launch of my first masterclass, I was a bag of mixed emotions. Excitement and fear, enthusiasm and doubt. Now that the class is done, I’m no less a bag of mixed emotions — except this time, all positive. Did it go perfectly? Far from it. And besides, there’s no such thing right? It went the way it was meant to and I couldn’t be any happier about that. From a numbers standpoint, the registration was more than I had ever hoped for, especially given that I did no paid traffic. All 60 registrants were generated through organic traffic and content (mostly Facebook lives) I was publishing. This was fantastic validation of a process I only theorized. The thing I’m most excited about is that now I have this class under my belt, all other classes and everything else I’ll be rolling out this year are that much more possible! The completion of this masterclass opens me up to a whole new world of possibilities, a world I cannot wait to to explore. ================ If you missed the Influencer Masterclass, don’t worry!

Content is Communication, So You Should Get Good at It
Send us a text Despite what I said in the last episode about your appearance not being an important factor in your content, how you present yourself is.

Do it Scared
Send us a text No matter how much you know or how far along you are on your journey, you’ll always experience fear in one form or another. So when it comes to new tasks and endeavors, do it scared. If you’re working to break into a new field or expand your career (like I am at the moment) into different territory, you’re going to feel a high level of uncertainty. The unknowns and what ifs, the self doubt and impostor syndrome, all these things will creep up and work to stop you in your tracks, stop you from taking action. The only way to get to your goal though is through those fears. So, just do it scared. =============== INFLUENCER MASTERCLASS http://ronniecruz.com/masterclass Feb 27 - Mar 1 ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Keep Challenging Yourself and Be Willing to Be Uncomfortable
Send us a text If you truly want to change your circumstances and create new outcomes in your life, you have to continually challenge yourself. A good indication that you’re not challenging yourself enough is if the results and outcomes in your life aren’t growing, aren’t expanding. Many good people put so much effort into creating new outcomes but because they do it within the confines of their unconscious comfort zones, they never actually end up moving the needle closer to their goals. We can most certainly fool ourselves into thinking we’re working to make change, but if we’re not actually pushing ourselves, then change will never happen. We have to continually challenge our limitations if we want to ever move the needle ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Minimum Effort vs Going Above and Beyond
Send us a text How you do one thing is how you do everything. It does you no good to half-ass anything, even the things that you may not be excited and enthusiastic but have to do anyway. I’ve heard it said that employees work only just enough to not get fired and employers only pay just enough to people not to quit. That’s a pretty sad state if you ask me. Whether I’m making $1,000 an hour or volunteering my time, I always make certain that I’m giving my best because I know that the mindset I wish to continue to cultivate in myself, a mindset of excellence. I used to work as a minimum wage movie theater usher as I built my network marketing business. Despite the below poverty-level wage, I made sure to do my job to the best of my ability which often meant going far beyond my title and job description. Doing this conditioned me to show up this way in everything else I did because if I could be my best self in thankless, low paying, nearly no reward situations, then I could really excel in working at the things I’m passionate about. So show up and go above and beyond. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

What is Ethical Manipulation???🤷🏽♂️
Send us a text During a recent Facebook LIVE I was asked the question, “What’s your opinion on ethical manipulation ?” I was baffled. I hadn’t actually ever heard of the term before and I didn’t even think those two words could be used together. Manipulation is taking away someone’s choice while making them think they still have one and then having them do something they otherwise wouldn’t — all for personal gain. So what can be ethical about that? If you ask me, NOTHING. In my opinion, there is no equation that makes sense ethically. And really it just sounds like flowery justification made by perpetrators of the manipulation. ================ The INFLUENCER MASTERCLASS Happening February 27th - March 1st at 11am eastern each day via Zoom You can register at this link: http://ronniecruz.com/masterclass In this masterclass you’re going to get everything I’ve learned in the past 12 months studying content creation and what it means to be an influencer.

How I Deal With Overwhelm
Send us a text Overwhelm is as common an experience and any other, I think because the desire to “do more” is a natural human tendency. And especially if you’re an entrepreneur, overwhelm us just par for the course. So if it’s normal and common, how do we then deal with overwhelm when it shows up? I have a simple process. Pause. Take a deep breath. And then tackle the next thing that’s immediately in front of you. Then do it again the next day and the next day after that. Tackle one thing at a time and put aside everything else for the time being. This makes the mountain of a to-do list so much more manageable and will allow you the time and space to recenter yourself. ================ The INFLUENCER MASTERCLASS Happening February 27th - March 1st at 11am eastern each day via Zoom You can register at this link: http://ronniecruz.com/masterclass In this masterclass you’re going to get everything I’ve learned in the past 12 months studying content creation and what it means to be an influencer.

A Different Take on Niching Down
Send us a text Niching down and getting more specialized with your business and content is advised by most industry experts. I’ve begun really looking at how I can further niche down as I create and roll out the programs and classes I have planned for this year. For this episode, I want to discuss a misconception of niching down and the mistakes I see people make when launching their offerings. Creating an offering that’s too narrow is one thing. Launching with the notion that you’re going to create a new niche is a whole different thing entirely. And that’s what I see people do. The tendency when looking at what one might perceive as an overcrowded market is to want to come up with something completely new and different than anything anyone else is doing or has done. And sure, your niche may be a great idea, but if it’s not something anyone cares about or needs, then it’s only ever going to be an idea. Niche down to meet specific needs you see in the market place, not by building something new and different. Sure, unicorns might exist but your chances of finding one are infinitesimal. ================ Here’s the episode of Jenna Kutcher’s Goal Digger podcast that I referenced: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-goal-digger-podcast/id1178704872?i=1000599723634 ================ The INFLUENCER MASTERCLASS Happening February 27th - March 1st at 11am eastern each day via Zoom You can register at this link: http://ronniecruz.com/masterclass In this masterclass you’re going to get everything I’ve learned in the past 12 months studying content creation and what it means to be an influencer.

What Going LIVE for 45 Days on Facebook Did for Me
Send us a text At the end of 2022 I decided to take the Live 45 Challenge — a challenge created by the BizBros Luis and Luis over at the Content is Profit podcast of going live every day on Facebook for 45 days straight. Initially, I did it as an experiment to see if Facebook lives were still a viable strategy to grow my audience. Now that we’re well past the 45 day mark, I’m happy to announce that it is. While my number of followers has yo-yoed over the 45 days, engagement has certainly increase. Plus, not only did my actual visibility increase, but the algorithm began rewarding me with “increased visibility” on the platform. The best part about it has been my ability to leverage my newly earned visibility to promote my upcoming masterclass (more info at below). Because I’ve been showing up every day, I’ve been able to develop a rapport with my audience, making any “ask” easy. And along with the hugely successful registration numbers for my upcoming masterclass, I now have the beginnings of my email list. So it’s all working!

Is the Market Really Over Saturated?
Send us a text “The market is over saturated.” I’ve heard that excuse time and time again. But what does it really mean? People have told me this for network marketing, for nutritional supplements, for weight loss products, and now for online marketing and content creation. I’ll put it plainly. There’s no such thing as over saturation (at least not how most people use that excuse for) With content creation and growing an online audience, there isn’t any “competition” because your message and story are unique to you. And I t’s a simple matter of sharing your story and your message consistently enough for a long enough time for your audience to find you. Because they’re looking. But they’ll never find you if you’ve convinced yourself not to try just because of “over-crowding” in the online space. You see, that excuse comes because people even try.

Informational content is important and delivers a level of value to your audience.

Branding: What it Means to Your Online Business
Send us a text When I first tried my hand at content creation back 15 years ago, much of the conversation around building an online business was about branding yourself. I heard this advice repeatedly: You have to “BRAND YOURSELF” to be successful online What the heck does that even mean?😆 One of the major issues in network marketing is the education process watering down important principles (more on that in future episodes). It was very much the same when it came to teaching about branding. By the time the conversation gets passed on ti the tenth degree, branding was only the superficial — logo, website design, aesthetics. There’s so much more to it. Branding is the substance that all the aesthetics are built on. It’s your business’ mission and purpose, its message and meaning. It’s who your company is and what it stands for.

Revising My Opinion on Content VIRALITY
Send us a text I’ve said in the past that you shouldn’t change virality with your content. Well, after hearing a talk by Natalie Ellis of Boss Babes I’m inclined to revise my stance. Virality is important. There’s no getting around it if you want to grow on the social platforms. Virality should be incorporated into your content not in the sense of copying viral trends but in modeling viral structure. Examine pieces of content you observe as viral and see what qualities from that you can incorporate into your own content. That said, virality should be the final piece of your strategy after consistency, refinement of message, and developing your voice/persona. These should not be sacrificed in pursuit of virality. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

I get it. And there is some truth to that. However, we have to be careful to not interpret this as saying dumb down your content so that you can reach more people. Remember, you don’t need everyone, you just need the right ones. The audience that was meant for you will find you as long as you’re staying true to your message and mission. And you’ll of course refine how you communicate that message and mission over time so that your content is more effective. The main thing is not to sacrifice your message and mission for the sake of views and followers. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Answering the Question: What if it Doesn’t Work?
Send us a text This question comes up often. And really it’s merely a reflection of a person’s self doubt. I understand doubt. I understand that uncertainty and risk are difficult to face. I also understand that the doubts and “what ifs” only exist in the mind of the doubter. The negative outcomes you’re entertaining in your mind are no more likely than possible outcomes. So why focus on the negative, especially that your state of mind will greatly influence the outcome? My suggestion: instead of asking “What if it doesn’t work?” ask, “ HOW can I make it work?” ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

The Reasons Why You’re Not Consistent
Send us a text We talk a lot about the importance of being consistent with activities that move the needle towards your goals. And I n principle it sounds great. The reality however can be very different. There every reason there are continual reminders about consistency is because we generally have a hard time staying consistent. Why? Three reasons: 1. Intimidation/Overwhelm - the scope or the goal or undertaking is too much to fathom 2. Doubt in the Strategy or Outcome - not believing that a goal is realistically attainable or a strategy viable 3. Lack of Belief in Self - thinking one is not capable, good enough, or worthy of achievement ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

It’s Time to Re:DEFINE Network Marketing
Send us a text In my quest to bring the Network Marketing profession into the new age, I feel it’s time to speak firmly and concretely about the changes w ended to make. To do this, we have to begin by redefining what network marketing is and how it works not just for us networker marketers but also for the public at large. We start by owning the truth that WE ARE MARKETERS and as such are then responsible for learning skills needed to be effective marketers. The next natural step is to then stop making recruitment the primary avenue to generating income in network marketing. As MARKETERS our task is to generate customer sales. Recruitment people into the business is then an added bonus rather than the main incentive. Of course there is a caveat — you must find a network marketing company whose compensation plan allows for pay outs on customer sales alone without and recruitment requirements. My company Yoli has one such comp plan update and I’m sure there are others out there growing wise to the need for this adaptation. The market place is shifting. This shift requires network marketing to shift with it. If we don’t, we risk going extinct. ================== We have MERCH!

Stop Letting Yourself Off the Hook
Send us a text Ever wonder how an off day becomes an excuse becomes a limiting belief? This is exactly the conversation we have in today’s episode. I get that you might have an off day, a day when you’re just not feeling it, the planets aren’t aligned, a day it’s just not working out. That’s normal. We all have those days. And letting ourselves off the hook that one time generally isn’t going to meant the end of the world let alone the end of your business. However, if you let yourself off the hook, you eventually start to buy your own excuses. This starts you down the slippery slope of legitimizing and justifying your excuses. And before you know, those things solidify themselves in your mind and grow into full blown limiting beliefs. The simple solution: stop letting yourself off the hook. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Send us a text As we discussed a few episodes back, it’s important to share your perspective in your content, at whatever level of transparency you’re comfortable with. But with the ability to share that perspective with potentially thousands, even millions of people, we also have a responsibility to be (at the bare minimum) mindful of what perspectives we share and how we frame them to our audiences. Remember, perspectives are unique to each individual. To perpetrate your perspective as the one right truth may influence your audience to believing a narrow definition of the world.

The Definition of Insanity: Do you Fit the Bill?

This gets to the heart of the question: what is the cause of stagnation in your business? And, moreover, is it time to change things up since I’ve not been making any progress? Yes, of course. After all, not changing while still expecting different results is the definition of insanity. However, when looking to make changes, people generally look to change the wrong things. They focus on external changes — new strategy, new team, new company — thinking those are the cause for the hold up in their business. And they couldn’t be more wrong.

Start Selling Before You Have Anything to Sell
Send us a text It’s counterintuitive, I know, selling before you have anything to sell. But hear me out. Social media is free. And moreover, creating a presence and growing your influence takes time to gain momentum. Waiting til your offering is “ready” and your business launched before you start growing your social media presence, you’ll have missed out on the leverage a social media presence can give you. Instead, start building you social media presence while you’re getting your offering off the ground so that by the time you launch, you’ll have the advantage of media buzz behind you when you do actually launch. This sets you up for a much more successful launch than not doing it. In essence, start selling before you have anything to sell. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

So, I wanted to rewind a bit and talk about what to do when you don’t know what you want to do. This is important because of you don’t set a vision for your life, that vision (and the resulting outcomes) will be set by default. And moreover, your identity will align by default as well.

But within these cliches lie truths that if reflected on can actually help us through the very challenges that elicited the advice in the first place. Shifting your perspective to “Life happens FOR you” helps you raise your awareness beyond the level of the challenges and limitations you’re facing.

Have an Opinion But Don’t Be Opinionated
Send us a text There are many things we content creators concern ourselves over when producing and publishing content. Naturally we worry, even if unconsciously, about turning our audiences and potential audiences off with the content we publish. And why wouldn’t we. In an ever polarized world, the last thing many of us want is to contribute to all the madness. Here’s the truth: you can’t control how your content is going to be perceived. Whether you’re worried that your point of view will be polarizing or you purposefully express polarizing opinions to garner more attention, to create and publish content motivated by public perception (or what you think public perception will be) produced an online presence that is less than authentic . Should you share your opinion? Absolutely. Your perspective is part of what makes you uniquely you and that’s what people will resonate with. Just make sure you don’t cross the line into being opinionated because that’s when things cross into the realm of shock jock, attention hungry content that will ultimately turn many people off.

Content Creation: the Goal Isn’t to Get Everyone
Send us a text It’s natural to think that the goal for content creation is virality and getting as many views and likes and followers as possible. As an extension, we then create content targeting as large an audience as possible. This doesn’t work. Creating content with the intention of mass appeal actual has the opposite effect — it ends up appealing to no one. If you niche down, moreover if you focus on speaking your authentic truth and sharing your unique journey and message, you’ll attract the people who are actually LOOKING for you, people who are searching for the thing you’re delivering. Chasing virality, you risk losing your unique voice. You risk getting lost in the sea of millions of other people doing exactly the same thing — publishing content that consists of a string of trends rather than actual substance. You don’t everyone.

Why I Love Content Creation Part 2 - Network Marketers Pay Attention!
Send us a text I’ve already spoken on how the market has shifted in ways that have made us Network Marketers less and less relevant. Well, I think it’s actually much more dire than I originally projected. If businesses are going more to a direct to consumer model, and relying on social media and the internet to reach those consumers, then there really is less and less need for us. Moreover, if goods and services can be marketed directly to consumers via the internet, then the only unique offer we have is their income opportunity. And we know the trouble that gets us into. Enter content creation and growing your influence. Creating content, growing your influence, and mastering social media and online marketing will allow us to reposition ourselves with value in the market place. Remember, influence is an asset.

Send us a text I have absolutely fallen in love with content creation. And the more I look at it as a piece of the marketing equation, the more convinced I am that EVERYONE should be doing it.

This accessibility makes content creation and publishing a great entry point for anyone and everyone 2) IT PUSHES YOU TO GROW - being an effective content creator is all about providing value. To do that consistently for an extended period of time will require you expanding your knowledge and experience in your chosen niche. Plus, the simple act of content creation and publishing is an activity that lies outside of most people’s comfort zone 3) YOU’RE BUILDING AN ASSET - Yep, that’s right. Not in the tangible sense.

Category vs Criteria: Judgement-Free Prospecting and Marketing
Send us a text Here’s a principle that will help make your prospecting and marketing much more effective. When strategizing and working to maximize our prospecting and marketing efforts, we rely of categorizations — labels with which we can organize groups of people. It’s a natural way of operating. Everything is ordered into categories. However, if we think of people in the context of what categories they fit into, we unknowingly limit our pool of prospects to the specific categories we’re targeting. Moreover, a category or label no more ensures the people you’ve lumped into it will be any more likely to make a purchase or enroll into your business. A better method of qualifying prospects is through CRITERIA. The only two criteria you’ll need are 1) Do they want to make a change in their life 2) Are they ready and willing to do anything about it This opens your prospecting and marketing to all types of people and removes any unconscious judgments you might make when using categories. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Are You Addicted to Shiny Objects? The Answer is in Your Followthrough
Send us a text Followthrough. There’s lots of reason why people lack it. One is that they get too distracted by the next new thing. And that’s normal. Newness is fun. Newness is exciting. When we start a new venture or a new strategic plan, it’s easy to to show up every day because it’s new, it’s fresh. It’s a break from the humdrum that results from not living with intentionality. But the drawback is that the newness wears off and when it does all we’re left with is the work we still need to do to achieve the outcome we set out for. Work without the excitement. And so when a new opportunity crosses our path, we’re drawn to jumping into it for its newness and the fun and excitement that newness brings. And so the cycle repeats, over and over again and you never end up finishing anything you started. If you want to finally get results, you have to follow through.

You’re Being REPETITIVE and That’s OK
Send us a text I hear this a lot when it comes to network marketing events and trainings — “the content, the talks and speeches, they’re so REPETITIVE.” Now, I’m starting to hear the same about content creation. The concern is that with such frequent publishing how does one avoid being repetitive. The simple answer is, YOU DON’T And here’s why: - There’s always a new audience and since your goal is to always grow yours, the people who see your content today is going to be a fraction of the people who’ll see it tomorrow, or next week, or next month, etc For example, I’ve only started following Brendon Burchard back early 2022. Prior to that, I had never even heard his name. Come to find out he’s been publishing content online for well over a decade now! - The second reason, is less obvious. Because of the internet and social media, we’ve grown an unconscious need to be at the front of trends, of being in the know FIRST. And we take this mindset into content creation thinking we need to come up with the freshest ideas and newest catch phrases hoping for “virality” There’s nothing new under the sun and your success doesn’t rest on conjuring a new innovative idea. Stop chasing the white whale of going viral. Just stay consistent with your publishing. Stay consistent with you message.

After all, as the the public representative of and for your business, you are the “face” of the company. So what presence are you creating with your content? Are you just broadcasting your offering hoping people will click through for more information? Would you buy from yourself based solely on the content you’re publishing? These questions and more are things you have to consider when creating a presence online. And yes, refinement takes time, but you have to make the effort and build a presence worth engaging with. If not, you’re just wasting your time. ================== Follow me on Facebook and join our Live 45 Challenge where we go live on Facebook every day for 45 straight days: http://facebook.com/ronniecruz11 ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Comparison: You’re Doing it More Than You Think
Send us a text We always hear that we shouldn’t compare ourselves to others. And of course it’s sound advice. Often, that advice is given when talking about looking at our results compared to others. Feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness can come from looking at the lives we THINK others are living compared to our own. Much less obvious is comparing others to ourselves — in other words, JUDGEMENT. When we compare others to ourselves, we see not their true self but rather our judgements of them. If we’re to build a more inclusive world, let’s continue then to break down the walls of judgement we may I knowingly harbor and communicate to one another. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Are You Projecting? Let’s be More Mindful with Our Labels and Definitions
Send us a text I love sharing my insights. All thought leaders and coaches have the well-intended desire to share lessons and ah-ha moments with their audiences. It’s what we do. But before screaming your latest insight from the top of every social media platform, stop and ask yourself: Is there a broader principle here that people can learn from or is it a specific to ME perspective? I’ve been consuming a lot of media lately, studying what people are doing in the marketing as well as personal development space. What I’ve often noticed is that experts and leaders make the mistake of throwing out labels and definitions that are specific to their experience. Look, I’m not saying that everyone has to agree with everything you put out. I am however saying we have to be careful of labels and definitions we put out into the world. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Are You Going All Out or Are You Half-Assing It?
Send us a text “Going all out” and “going all in” are phrases we hear a lot in peak performance. Whether it’s about business, or health, or relationships, there’s a constant call to making full commitments to the thing you want to achieve. After all, you can’t realistically expect positive and lasting change to come from half-assed effort. Then why is it that I see so many people this time of year declare the changes they want to make but then never actually see those things through? One simple answer: FEAR Going all out opens is up to being vulnerable fully commuting comes with the risk of judgment, the risk of things not working out, the risk of getting something “wrong” And so even though we have a strong desire for change, we only take hesitant steps to get there, we don’t fully commit because of these (and many other) fears. It’s ok. You’ll be judged, you’ll get things “wrong”, things will not always workout REGARDLESS of whether you go full out or you half-ass your effort ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Send us a text Despite what you hear and see on the internet, despite the advice you get from your favorite guru and coach, the world isn’t out to get you. People aren’t JUST out to get things from you. Sure people might want things from you and that’s totally ok. We’re all doing our best and often we need to enlist the help of others to get through. At least that’s a healthier and perhaps more likely assumption than waking around thinking that everyone is out to use you. This is the danger of some of the language used in the personal development world. I understand the need for boundaries and self-protection.

Independent Distributors are More Dependent than We Think
Send us a text I got into network marketing to be my own boss. But I’ve noticed recently that as much of an independent and free thinker as I consider myself to be, I’m actually much more dependent on things than I care to be. In network marketing, there are three things we can unknowingly develop a dependence on: - our company - our upline leader - our own teams One of the best ways to server that dependence is to learn MARKETING. If you take the time to learn marketing, especially online marketing, you can detach yourself from those dependencies, but also then create options outside do the profession itself.

Vulnerability vs TMI: a Conversation About Social Media Decorum
Send us a text When sharing our stories, we’re always advised to be as vulnerable as we can and are willing to be. But when it comes to social online content, especially social media, is there a line between being vulnerable and too much information and if so what is it? In my opinion, it’s actually simple. Are you sharing just to share or does the piece of content you’re about to publish serve its purpose of growing your audience and giving value? Are you about to post about your feelings or are you sharing a personal story with the hope of more deeply connecting with and inspiring your audience. It’s really just a matter of who your content is intended to serve — you (content that airs out personal business, signals for sympathy, or validates your judgements and opinions) or your audience (content that provides perspective, connection, and inspiration)? ====== Follow Jasmine Star on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/reel/CmetPF0BynS/?igshid=YWJhMjlhZTc= ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Organic Growth vs Paid Growth: Knowing What’s Right For You
Send us a text Of the myriad ways to grow your online business, most will fall into two categories: Organic Growth and Paid Growth. There’s the growth that happens as you create and publish content, and refine your online marketing funnel. This growth happens naturally through those (mostly) free efforts and that’s why it’s called organic. Then there’s growth that you can acquire through ads, promoted content and other paid avenues — i.e. paid growth Choosing which to employ requires serious consideration so here’s my two cents to help at least give you perspective when making the decision to jumping into paid growth strategies. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

This principle applies to so many things, including your MARKETING Social media and online marketing, content creation, it can all be overwhelming. With “experts” screaming that you have to be omnipresent on the internet. But if your focus is spread to thin, your results will be too. So minimizing may just be exactly what you need to start making real progress. ======= Here’s the episode of Goal Digger Podcast by Jenna Kutcher that I referenced: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-goal-digger-podcast/id1178704872?i=1000585628980 ======= ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

The Goal IS NOT to go Viral🚫
Send us a text It’s an easy trap to fall into. The pitfall of social media is thinking that you have to “go viral” to have any success. Chasing views and vitality then becomes the mission and we forget why we got into social media in the first place. It’s a red herring. Sure, successful people on social platforms likely have seen a degree of vitality with their posts. But I’d wager to say that that success isn’t a result of “trying to go viral” Rather it’s staying consistent to their purpose and message and not straying from their regimented posting schedule In the long term, that’s a winning formula. ============= 🔗Join our Facebook community https://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity
