You are what you think about, so… Here are some great daily affirmations: • I am building a financially stable future for myself and my family. You Have To Watch This Five Minute Interview. Robert Kiyosaki is spittin’ GAME! Very True. Very Brutal. Very Awesome! This video montage of interviews with Will Smith is actually very inspiring for anybody that is striving for success in any endeavor and desires to live a life of significance. I see now why he did such a great job in “The Pursuit of Happiness”. Enjoy! If you don’t know about the new Facebook privacy controls you are missing out on a very useful feature! There one new feature in particular that can really help you stay in contact with your prospects, clients and business partners without annoying your “other friends” with info they’re not interested in. The new feature is called Publisher Privacy Control. When you combine this feature with the ability to create lists in Facebook you now have a powerful tool at your fingertips. This is how you can use this new feature to your advantage for business and friendships alike. What problem does this feature solve? Suppose your Business isn’t the only passion in your life. (What – how could this be?) Well say you also have other businesses, or maybe a group of friends or family you don’t want to share certain updates with, because they may not be interested. In the past you could exclude people on a list, but you couldn’t really target a specific list. This made it really difficult to do any kind of relationship building or sharing of info with people that represented different groups in your life. By the way, there is still a proper way to behave on Facebook. It is after all a social place where you need to remember how to interact with people. Do not create lists and just market to them. That’s a quick way to getting “unfriended!” This is called social media for a reason! You want to be social with people! Not spam them with “all business” messages and announcements! You don’t want everyone to be clicking the hide button on your posts! It’s the same thing if you’re at a party. You don’t want people to avoid you. So don’t be annoying, even if you’re sending a message for your business lists. Even with business posts, just like your regular friendly posts, you should be sharing your personal life and helpful information that will help your prospects. Remember to “be cool”, and let people see that you’re a regular person. So, most normal posts can go to all lists. However, sometimes you may want to share specific information about your business with prospects, associates or clients and keep that information hidden from people in your other areas of life. You may also have specific training or skills building materials that only apply only to a certain group of people. This was difficult to manage before in Facebook. Now it is Easy! Keep reading for step by step instructions to find out how! Here is a scenario: Let’s say you have prospects for your company that you want to communicate with in Facebook. You’ve done a good job of networking and people that may be interested in your business are starting to ask to be your friend on Facebook. Here is what you could do. Step 1: Create a list in Facebook called “Prospects”. To do this click on the “more” link under you Newsfeed link on the left side of the main facebook page. You should a box pop-up that looks like this:
Enter a name for your list like “prospects” then add the appropriate people from your list of friends to this list. Also, of course, make one for or “clients” or “family” or “partners” or whatever you want. (Later as you accept friendship requests you can add them directly to their perspective list.) Step 2: Now that you have different lists you can create posts in facebook that are directly related to them. None of your other Facebook friends will be able to see the post that is meant for another list of people! Are you starting to see the benefits?!?! To do this, click in the “what’s on my mind” box and then click on the little lock icon that appears on the bottom right next to the share link. Step 3: Now click on the custom link and you will see the below Custom Privacy box appear. Choose “Specific People” from the drop down list and then type in the name of your list and click Save Setting.
Step 4: You are now ready to type in your update. It will only be visible in the newsfeed of people on that specific list. How I recommend you use this feature with regards to business lists.
You will find that people appreciate getting good, useful information and your non-prospects/clients/partners will appreciate NOT getting this information even more! Ric It’s great to feel the enormous benefit of gratitude. That’s why it sure is helpful to have a day to remember the things to be grateful for. After all, most of the time we humans probably get caught up in all the small things in life that distract us and cause disappointment and worry. Being “busy” all the time creates this blindness to what is truly important. So I am taking the time to be thankful for: Wonderful parents who worked hard to raise me well. The best family and friends a guy could ask for. A beautiful, smart, and loving girlfriend who has confidence in me. Good health and a happy attitude. A roof over my head, and food to eat. A thriving business. And most of all… I’m happy to have LIFE! To be LIVING! Isn’t life a wonderful mystery? I believe it’s up to each of us to live life well, and not waste it on petty worries. I’m thankful that I get to choose to have a positive impact on the world and everyone around me. Living life to the fullest means something different to everyone. But I hope and pray that we all remember to follow our dreams, and make each day count. Being happy is a choice, and gratitude definitely helps make it an easy one. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Network Marketing- It’s an Asset, Not a Job By Robert Kiyosaki I am sometimes asked, “Why do so few people make it to the top of their network marketing system?” The truth is, the top of the network marketing system is open to everyone-unlike traditional corporate systems, which allow only one person to reach the top of the company. The reason most people do not reach the top is simply because they quit too soon. So why would someone quit short of the top? Most people join only to make money. If they don’t make money in the first few months or years, they become discouraged and quit (and then often bad-mouth the industry!). Others quit and go looking for a company with a better compensation plan. But joining to make a few quick dollars is not the reason to get into the business. The Two Essential Reasons to Join a Network Marketing Business Reason number one is to help yourself. Reason number two is to help others. If you join for only one of these two reasons, then the system will not work for you. Reason number one, means that you come to the business primarily to change quadrants-to change from the E (Employee) or the S (Self-employed) quadrant to the B (Business owner) or I (Investor) quadrant. This change is normally very difficult for most people-because of money. The true E or S quadrant person will not work unless it is for money. This is also what causes people to not reach the top of the network marketing system: they want money more than they want to change quadrants. A B quadrant or I quadrant person will also work for money, but in a different way. The B quadrant person works to build or create an asset-in this case, a business system. The I quadrant person invests in the asset or the system. The beauty of most network marketing systems is that you do not really make much money unless you help others leave the E and S quadrants and succeed in the B and I quadrants. If you focus on helping others make this shift, then you will be successful in the business. As a B or an I, sometimes you don’t get paid for years; this, a true E quadrant or S quadrant person will not do. It’s not part of their core values. Risk and delayed gratification disturb them emotionally. Delayed Gratification and Emotional Intelligence One of the beauties of network marketing is that it focuses on developing your emotional intelligence as well as your business skills. Emotional intelligence is an entirely different matter from academic intelligence. In general, someone with high emotional intelligence will often do better than someone with high academic intelligence but low emotional intelligence. That explains, in part, why some people do well in school but not so well in the real world. The ability to delay gratification is a sign of higher emotional intelligence. In a recent study of emotional intelligence, it was found that people who could delay gratification often led more successful lives than those who could not. This is why the educational system inherent in a good network marketing opportunity is so important. It’s the emotional education or emotional intelligence aspect of their programs that I find so valuable for people. Many people write me and tell me they loved my book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, but I fear that many of them don’t get the most important point of the book: Lesson #1, “The rich don’t work for money.” Once I have built or bought an asset, that asset works hard to make money for me. But I will not work for money-I will work only to build or buy assets. Those assets make me richer and richer, while I work less and less. That is what the rich do. The poor and middle class work hard for money, and then buy liabilities instead of investing in assets. What Kind of Asset is a Network Marketing Business? Remember, there are two reasons required to be successful in network marketing: to help yourself, and to help others. Reason number one means helping yourself get to the B side of the quadrant. What about reason number two The beauty of most network marketing systems is that you don’t really make much money unless you help others leave the E and S If you only want to teach yourself to be a B quadrant and I quadrant person, then a true network marketing system won’t work for you. You may as well go to a traditional business school, which focuses only on your becoming a B quadrant person. The beauty of a network marketing business is that your goal is to create assets, which are other B’s working under you-and their job is to create other B’s working under them. In traditional business, the focus is for the B to have only E’s and S’s working for them. The type of business I was taught to build is a business with me at the top and E’s and S’s at the base. I really don’t have room at the top for many other B’s, which is why in my businesses, I strongly recommend that all my employees look into network marketing as their own part-time businesses. The traditional corporate system really is a pyramid, because there are a few B’s and I’s near the top, and more E’s and S’s at the base. A network marketing system is a reverse pyramid: its primary focus is to bring up more and more B’s to the top. One type of pyramid, the traditional type, has its base on the ground; the other type has its base in the air. It’s a pyramid that pulls you up instead of pushing you down. A network marketing business gives everyone access to what used to be the domain only of the rich.

Kiyosaki, with Sharon Lechter, CPA, authors of Rich Dad, Poor Dad.” [Insert by Ric Parks: Remember from the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", that E= Employee, S= Self-employed, B= Business-owner, and I= Investor] |
