In doing so, I have noticed how much more people I am connecting with across the country. Last week I had 3 sales conversions within 2 days all as a result of my videos. Although I knew YouTube.com was a great resource, honestly I didn't realize how beneficial it would be to my company. Here are some interesting statistics I found in regards to how much video marketing works.</p><p>According to comScore, the global leader in digital business analysis, so you understand the potential for marketing with video: <a href="http://www.incitecreativeinc.com/resources/articles/Does-Video-Marketing-Work?/">http://www.incitecreativeinc.com/resources/articles/Does-Video-Marketing-Work?/</a></p><ul><li>89 million people will watch 1.2 billion videos <strong>today</strong>. Yes, today. Not for the week, or for the month, or for the year, but every day.</li><li>Businesses spent $1.4 billion in video marketing on 441 billion videos in 2010. This number continues to increase.</li><li>Video is popular across all age groups. Although 18 – 34 year olds spend the most time watching video, over 80% of the population across all age demographics watches video. So it isn’t just your teen that consumes content on the screen.</li><li>Probably the most important statistic of all, comScore reported that on average retail site visitors who view videos are 64% more likely to purchase than other site visitors.</li></ul><p>These stats should give you a little hope when venturing out into Video Marketing. Although it can be scary because you are making yourself available for people to critique, it can still be great for business.</p><p>According to Edelman and Adobe, the stats below show how much audiences enjoy videos that tell stories. UNIQUE stories at that. I believe people are captivated by unique stories because of the authenticity. My husband sometimes gets on me about where I choose to shoot my videos but in my research I have found that when you are real with your audience they connect more. Of course that is to an extent. You should never go on camera with a messy house in the background or in your pj's, etc. However, is you have a nice office space or living area feel free to have in the background.</p><p><a href="http://garrisonprosperitysolutions.com/2013/03/06/video-marketing-does-it-work/video-marketing-stats/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-714" title="video marketing stats" src="http://garrisonprosperitysolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/video-marketing-stats.png" alt="" height="438" width="584" /></a></p><p>So far Video Marketing is going well for me as a tester campaign. The following are <strong>5 tips</strong> on how to make video marketing work for you.</p><p>1. <strong>Know why you are doing this</strong>. Having a lot of viewers is great, but you want to make sure they are targeted viewers that want what you have. So make sure you present it well.</p><p>2. <strong>Have a script</strong>. As boring as that sounds, a script will at least guide your video in the direction it needs to go. Although you may be recording alone, millions could potentially view your video so it can be nerve-racking while recording. So you want to make sure you have a clear understanding of what you are saying to your audience and that there is minimum babble.</p><p>3. <strong>Be patient & Have time</strong>. These two go hand in hand. As I stated earlier, taping can be nerve-racking and lead to having to do a lot of takes. Don't get frustrated, impatient or stop taping because of this. Make sure you regroup in between each take and feel free to practice before taping.</p><p>4. <strong>Use the right keywords.</strong> This is the most crucial part of Video Marketing. You want to make sure you use the correct words in your title and in the tags. I would suggest researching what videos in your content area are getting the most views and why. Look at the titles and the tags. Revamp the title to fit what you are doing and see if you will show up on the first page of YouTube for the keyword. That should be your goal. For example: If you are looking to target people who are looking for <em>diet pill</em>s, then look up "diet pills" on YouTube. What videos are coming up and what are their titles? Research this and apply to your video. After posting your video, test the keyword to see if your video pops up on the first page. If not, keep editing your title and tags until you do (without full-on copying anyone, of course).</p><p>5. <strong>Camera equipment.</strong> Some people believe they need a high-tech video camera with bells and whistles, which (don't get me wrong) is not necessary but will be great when you start to get those millions of viewers. But to start out, the video camera on your computer will suffice. Or on your phone like a Samsung Galaxy or iPhone. For the phones, just make sure whomever is camera man has a still hand while recording. The convenient thing about using your video cam is that you do not need anyone to record for you and you can record alone.</p><p>These are just a few tips to consider when starting your Video Marketing venture. I hope they help.

They hold tremendous value. This is the kind of work that not only gives you a sense of satisfaction, but it’s valuable to others and it’ll outlast you once you’re gone. Legacy projects produce legacy work. Legacy work is great work. The kind of work that will push you out of bed 3 hours in advance of having to do it. Great work keeps you motivated because it’s revolutionary and it leads to awe-inspiring innovation. It has synergy all it’s own because you’re depositing your best self into it. I love that type of work. Don’t you?</p><p style="text-align:left;">Unfortunately, so many of us don’t get an opportunity to create legacy projects because we’re doing good work. Don’t get me wrong, good work is useful. It’s productive and there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s even comforting; when you leave out of your house in the morning you know what you’re going to do, how you’re going to do it and how long you’re going to do it for that day. Actually, it doesn’t take a lot of thought to do good work. You may even break from that good work and reward yourself with an hour of free time – let’s call it lunch. But, you know you have to hurry back from your 1 hour of free time to do your good work for the remainder of the day. Usually doing good work spans over a 20- 30 year period and before you know it, it’s time to go. You feel proud that you’ve accomplished all of that “good work” but was it really for you or for someone else who got all the glory for it? You even hope that all of that good work that you’ve done is remembered, but unfortunately, once you get that plaque and luncheon, the reality is – no one wlll.</p><p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Legacy projects = legacy work = great work = SATISFACTION = PURPOSE.</strong></p><p style="text-align:left;">Do you see yourself here? Are you the person who outputs good work on a daily basis? Do you want more for your life – something that will give you purpose and provide a legacy beyond yourself? If so, think about making a strategic shift. NCCA offers a 12-week Professional Life Coach or Health and Wellness Coach Program. If you have what it takes to be your own boss, there are no limitations to stepping out and doing it. You can have new tools to start your own coaching practice in as little as 12 weeks. Make time for something new in your life. Classes are starting in January 2013.</p></div>How This Guy Became a Celebrity Overnight and How You Can Too!https://mybbwo.com/profiles/blogs/how-this-guy-became-a-celebrity-overnight-and-how-you-can-too2012-08-27T19:00:00.000Z2012-08-27T19:00:00.000ZTamara Garrison-Thomashttps://mybbwo.com/members/TamaraGarrisonThomas<div><p>WOW! You have to see this. It's an experiment this guy Brett Cohen did essentially showing, if you believe it...you can achieve it!</p><p>He gets some people to be his bodyguards, paparazzi, puts on some nice clothes and sunglasses, and walks the streets of New York.

It's amazing what people will believe!</p><p> </p><p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/XYU1a0lTTTw?wmode=opaque" frameborder="0"></iframe></p><p> </p><p>This brings me to my point. Why not become famous yourself?? EXCEPT instead of experimenting, actually get paid what the famous folks do. If you know you are special and have something valuable, why not share it with the world? One of the best ways to accomplish this is to BLOG! Believe it or not, blogging is a great way to get exposure, share what you have to offer and to build a fan base!

I offer the perfect blogging platform and system that will help you <em>Be Famous Online Too</em>AND get paid PLUS build a solid fan base! This system is great for supplementing and advertising your current business or may be a good start for someone interested in making a business income from home.

One of those steps is to identify your goal for each network.</p><p>There are many ways in which Social media can bring marketing success to your business. Before you start it’s important to know what exactly it is you’re trying to achieve. This will enable you to track your success and tweak your various methods easier to work on once things have started rolling with your business.</p><p>Social Media can assist in many different aspects of your marketing. Whether you are aiming at driving traffic to your site, generating referrals and sales, or just plain having a way to communicate with both current and prospective clients, social media makes this entire process much easier to accomplish.</p><p>There are a few things to keep in mind, however. the simple goal of accumulating connections through social media outlets is not the only thing necessary for a successful business. Having lists of thousands of “followers” or “friends” in your various social media platforms may be nice, but it will not make you the successful businessperson you are striving for if nobody does anything but make small talk.</p><p>There’s another important step that I’ll share as a bonus and this is to identify your strategy for not only obtaining these followers, but converting them into actual paying clientele. Another option would be to add them as associates or affiliates. It’s important to have some type of product or service each of these potential clients can relate to, in reference to their own needs. Do keep in mind that blatant sales pitches could result in rapid loss of your followers or contacts. Try to find a “happy medium” per se, where you will be providing added value information or suggestions these contacts will find useful.</p><p>Power up!</p><p>I invite you to receive additional insights on Social Media by joining other dynamic women and I for “Empowerment Diva Rocks Social Media and You Can Too!” A Free Social Media training for beginners</p><p><a href="http://bit.ly/stopbeingbestkeptsecret" title="" target="_blank">Secure your VIP Access to my Bonus Social Media Training Call here</a></p></div></div>7 Social Media Mistakes You May Be Making That Are Costing You Business and Clientshttps://mybbwo.com/profiles/blogs/7-social-media-mistakes-you-may-be-making-that-are-costing-you2012-02-14T07:50:42.000Z2012-02-14T07:50:42.000ZRobin Tramblehttps://mybbwo.com/members/RobinTramble<div><p></p><p><img src="http://i577.photobucket.com/albums/ss219/4empowerment/socialmediasymbolsfbtwitterli300x74.png" alt="" /></p><p><strong><span><br /></span></strong></p><p><span>Social Media is more than the latest trend. It is strongly becoming a must use tool for Businesses that are positioning themselves to gain a big piece of the market they’ve deemed their target. If you want to be seen as an authority in your field you’d do yourself justice by either acquiring the skills to utilize and I will say “effectively” use Social Media or outsource it.</span></p><p><strong><span><br /></span></strong></p><p><strong><span>Here are 7 Social Media Mistakes You Might Be Making That are costing you Business and Clients. </span></strong></p><p><strong><span><br /></span></strong></p><p><strong><span>1. You’re less than Authentic</span></strong><br />You know I’m going to talk about being authentic some where in this post. So why not start right from the top. Your followers whether on Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin etc. can smell a lack of authenticity a mile away and once they do the won’t be around for long. And I’m not stating this as a trend or the latest term being shopped around. People will follow those they can trust and so this is a great segway to embracing the know, like and trust factor. Do this and you’re on your way to converting your followers in to customers and clients who will sing your praises “to others!”</p><p> </p><p><strong><span>2. You are not clear on your Goal</span></strong></p><p>This is one of the most significant steps to realizing a profitable experience on Facebook. What is it that you wish to accomplish with Social Media and even more important what is your goal on each Social Media Network that you designate as your focus. If you’re beginning start with one to focus on. Of course you can set up an account on the the two major networks Twitter and Facebook and you might even give it a try on Linkedin, however, you want to focus on really getting a handle on one as your primary focus and then move on to another one. Take the time to get clear on your goal.</p><p><strong><span>3. You’re not clear on your Target Market</span></strong><br />This is step 2 if you desire to realize a profitable experience on Facebook. This is also one area many are missing it. You’re all over the place and your language is confusing. I’m sure you’ve heard the statement “a confused mind” doesn’t buy. If you want to amp up your results take the time to do your homework and define who your target market is. If Facebook is your primary focus right now, who is your target market? When you post on your Facebook page you should be speaking in terms of your target market. We haven’t even talked about your niche, however, even before getting to deep into that you need to determine who are Target Market is.</p><p><strong><span>4. You’re not Engaging</span></strong></p><p>Are you simply posting links and offers on your social media networks? This is a FATAL mistake. The Social is not in Social Media just because. If you’re going to have empowering success using Social Media you must engage and it must be value added.</p><p><strong><span>5. Too much Promotion – Close to Spamming</span></strong><br />There is a ratio that I like to mention to my clients and that is to serve up 60% Value added posts, 20% Retweets, sharing on Facebook and 20% sharing of your offers, links and such.</p><p>One thing that can sabotage your empowering success when attempting to effectively use Social Media that will render customers, clients and convert them into those that sing your praises “to others” is too much promotion which can actually be considered spamming or close to it.</p><p><strong><span>6. Out of balance with Quality vs Quantity</span></strong><br />Sure it’s great to have thousands of followers, friends and likes, however, what good does it do if you don’t have a balance of good quality content going out to a quality of followers, friends and community of individuals who have liked your Facebook page?</p><p>When starting out you may be tempted to go for the quantity as you’re creating your page because you need 25 to get the username and that’s after your first use of the no limit to get the username but after that your goal should be to gain targeted likes, followers, friends and to not only post the maximum of updates, tweets but to post value added content.</p><p>If you’re looking for a profitable experience, take the time to create a healthy balance between quality posts, quality targeted followers, friends and likes.</p><p> </p><p><strong><span>7. You’re operating with a negative mindset</span></strong></p><p>Operating with a negative mindset can sabotage your empowering success with Social Media. In one of my posts I refer to 3 mindsets to avoid which includes; The inferiority, Scarcity and It’s Too Late For Me mindset. These are three to avoid. You must embrace a positive mindset. A mindset of success. Feeling like you don’t have enough, that there isn’t enough to go around and so you feel there’s no room for you or that it’s too late will cause you to give up before you even begin or throw in the towel right before a possible breakthrough. Cultivate a positive mindset. This is just an excerpt from my post but you get the gist of it don’t you?</p><p> </p><p>I’ve shared great content on the mistakes you may be making when using Social Media that are costing you business and clients. Of course this is a list of a few of the mistakes.</p><p>Social Media is a phenomenal tool when used correctly which brings me to my next point. It’s up to you to acquire the skills needed to upgrade your life and business.

Believe or not your mindset also plays a BIG role in weather you are successful or not successful.</p><p>Your mind is a powerful thing and although there are many contributing factors the wrong mindset can hold you back from realizing the results you desire.</p><p>Here are three mindsets that will stop you every time.</p><p><br /> <strong>1. Scarcity mindset.</strong> When you operate from a mindset of scarcity you see everything from a perspective of lack. You may resist trying to learn new tactics or even attempt to apply what you’ve learned because you feel there are already so many people out there in your field so why try? Truth be told there are many individuals out there who need your expertise and are waiting for you to step up and out so that they can resolve some of their problems with your solutions, however, how will they know if you never get out there. Also you may choose not to invest in additional resources that will empower your results but your scarcity mindset kicks in again causing you to hold on to every penny because there may not be enough for something else.</p><p><strong>2. Inferiority mindset</strong><br /> Here you always size yourself up with others who are miles ahead of you. Stop! When you do this you will end up giving up and this is fuel for low self esteem. Instead tap into your brilliance. What makes you unique? What are you bringing to the table that gives you a competitive edge? It’s important that you take the time to discover this. Once you are clear on the value that you offer you will no longer practice the activity of comparison,however, you will arise and shine for all the world to see!</p><p><strong>3. It’s too late for me mindset</strong><br /> Sure things may not have happened the way you want them to happen, however, as long as you have breath in your body there’s hope. Take inventory of why things are not working. Don’t be a victim of time. There are many who started in there latter years and actually realized more in their latter years than their earlier years. Spend your time discovering new ideas, strategies and resources. Determine who it is you are here to serve. Develop an appropriate brand and make sure you have an online visibility plan that works.<br />Where are you in your Social Media Marketing endeavors? Do you recognize yourself in any of the mindsets mentioned? There are many more. Take inventory of some of the negative chatter that happens when you attempt to move forward with Social Media.</p><p>Effectively using Social Media can dramatically increase your visibility, bottom line and position you as an authority in your industry.</p><p>I’d like to offer you an opportunity to do something positively different to POWER up your<br /> Social Media endeavors.</p><p>You’re invited to join me for my 2 part Social Media Tele-series.

I've promoted products & programs that DO NOT have a strong marketing system and I have promoted businesses that have very strong marketing systems. Affiliate Marketing can be simple or it can be very difficult if you dont know how to market and what products to promote.</p><p> </p><p>Out of these two business models the winner without a question is the business WITH a high powered system. Here's why... In order to be successful in your own business you MUST have a business that is easily duplicatable for anyone. Even for people without experience!</p><p> </p><p>The power of any system lies solely in it's ability to allow anyone and everyone to duplicate your results in the least amount of time possible.</p><p> </p><p>Well, when you are associated with a business that does not have a strong marketing system you have to spend a great deal of time teaching and training each of your new team members how to make things work. This equated to a lot of frustration on the new team members part for having to learn everything from the ground up and a slow rate of duplication. This is NOT powerful.</p><p> </p><p>With a high powered marketing system in which a new member can literally get started marketing the instant they join and generate success within hours or minutes of joining you have a highly duplicable system. This equates to a powerful marketing system which leaves you with the highest probability for success.</p><p>You NEED a high powered system if you want to generate success and results quickly in any business and that's just the plain and simple truth in today's fast paced world of affiliate marketing.</p></div></div>Does your business need a tune-up? 3 tips for peak performancehttps://mybbwo.com/profiles/blogs/does-your-business-need-a2011-03-23T22:00:00.000Z2011-03-23T22:00:00.000ZSylvia Browderhttps://mybbwo.com/members/SylviaBrowder<div><p>A vehicle needs a tune up every two years or 30,000 miles, whichever comes first. The key to keeping a vehicle in good working condition is scheduling regular maintenance. Right? Well, just as your car needs scheduled care, so does your business. According to Browder, founder of <a href="http://www.nawomenrise.com/">National Association Women on the Rise</a>, it is vital that entrepreneurs get in the habit of looking “under the hood” regularly. That means reviewing your operations, marketing and financial processes. So, are you performing regularly scheduled maintenance for your business? Here are 3 tips to tune-up your business.</p><p> </p><p><b>Change the oil</b></p><p>Regularly changing your car's engine oil and filter is one of the most important things you can do to keep your car running well. Consistent maintenance to your business each year is equally important. Take some time to look at your business processes. Think about your accomplishments. Is there room for improvement? Here are two ideas.</p><ul><li>Reflect on the successes and failures of your professional and personal life. Have you considered what changes you would like to implement this year? As women entrepreneurs, it is important to look for ways to improve work-life balance. Take some time to reflect on your business' progress and make plans on how you want your business to grow.</li><li>Reorganize to get rid of clutter. What have you accumulated this past year that is hindering you from functioning at your optimal best? Write down all the things that are cluttering your mind, distorting your life’s vision. Take each of the things on your list and ask yourself the following questions:</li></ul><ol><li>Why am I holding on to this clutter?</li><li>What purpose does it serve?</li><li>How do I rid myself of it?</li></ol><p>Clutter can be distracting while adding to the chaos in our lives. </p><p> </p><p><b>Check engine light</b></p><p>The "check engine" light is part of your vehicle's onboard diagnostics (OBD) system. If a problem in the electronic-control system doesn’t ‘fix’ itself, the computer that controls the OBD turns on a yellow warning indicator that's labeled "check engine. Ignore the warning and you could damage expensive components. </p><p> </p><p>Just as your engine is vital to your vehicle, your clients are the engine that drives the success in your business. Do you know who your clients are? Have you refined your target market (clients) to increase your bottom line? We all know that the success of your business depends on making sales. To identify your target client, ask yourself the following questions:</p><ol><li>Do you know who your customers will be? </li><li>Do you understand their needs?</li><li>Do you know where they are located?</li><li>Will you offer the kind of products or services that they will buy?</li><li>Will your prices be competitive?</li><li>Do you understand how your business compares with your competitors?</li><li>Will your business be conveniently located?</li></ol><p>By refining your target market, you are ensuring the success of your business! </p><p> </p><p><b>Balance the tires</b></p><p>Balanced tires are imperative to safe driving. When the tires are out of balance, they place pressure on the bearings, shocks and other parts of the wheel assembly. When your business is out of balance, you can lose current and potential clients which can cause the loss of revenue or worse, your business!</p><p>Is your business running smoothly? Re-examine contracts with your suppliers such as telephone service, business and life insurance policies. Look for ways to cut costs. Check out your current memberships; local chambers and business and civic associations to make sure you are getting the most for your money. In addition:</p><ul><li>Create new revenue streams. </li><li>Find innovative ways to promote your business and attract potential clients.</li></ul><p>In conclusion, by taking control of your business and keeping it running at peak performance, will increase your chances for success and profitability!</p><p><b> </b></p><p><strong>WANT TO USE THIS ARTICLE IN YOUR E-ZINE OR WEB SITE</strong>?

The first one is about being a woman that illuminates great beauty from the inside out. The woman that stands tall even though only 4 feet high. This first initiative is about keeping the the outside matching the beauty inside. The second initiative calls forth the wife who keeps looking the same as she did when she first got married.Neither of these is the everyday woman. This is not the woman who has birthed four children, works a 9-5 and tries to keep home. This is the woman who has a great support system, values herself as much as she values her relationship with the LORD and really, really is that Proverbs 31 woman.This woman is sexy fine. This woman has beauty and brains, and really knows how to keep it together without losing heart or hope.We all can have this, but we have to put forth an effort. What is the effort?First of all, knowing that we are missing a small point of the mark is the main effort. As women we want people to accept us the way we are, which is fine, but when we worked hard to get our husbands, we should work hard to keep them. When we took the time to educate ourselves to get our degree, we should educate ourselves to keep our businesses.Sexy fine is more than just the beauty on the outside, it's everything that makes us who we are. We value ourselves. We love ourselves. God made us unique. There has to be a point where we say enough is enough, I need to eat right, I need to exercise,and I need to obtain better knowledge that will take me far.That is the second part of the effort. We have to DO.1. Acknowledge2. DoHow can you move forward in this and go the extra mile for yourself? Connect with a business and lifestyle coach that has more of your best interest at heart. A coach that continuously finds doors that GOD has already opened and urges you to go through them. The effort comes in the research not just the investment. You have to know that you want to be sexy fine! Do you want to be sexy fine inside out? Work it out with ME Coach DANA...It's not about what I get but what I can give you .

If I said that part of me wasn't thinking "What the heck are you doing girl?" I'd be lying. But that fact of the matter is <span style="color:#e33258;">I just walked away from a Fortune 50 company not a Fortune 50 paycheck</span> and the sad part is I realized that it was never going to happen. I earned my Bachelor's degree while pregnant with the twins and then spent my Master's program pregnant and dealing with the new baby. In between degrees (and in a period of 1 1/2 years) I applied for eight promotions and received eight denials, some without any explanation. The straw that broke the camel's back for me was applying for a position within my own department, having my supervisors tell me I wasn't qualified, hiring a mail and file clerk giving her a minimum $20-$30k increase and then asking me to train her. HA!! If that isn't the biggest slap in the face, but I digress...<br /><br />Needless to say I began to plan my exit strategy. I wish I had a great elaborate story for you that speaks of how I waltzed into my boss' office on a random day and dropped the bomb on them. How I stuck it to "the MAN" just when he thought he had me down but that's not what happened. The truth of it all is that I devised a plan. My exit strategy was well thought out and I had the great benefit of working and building my business with the security of having a job and being on maternity leave allowed me to be at home full time with nothing to do but learn while receiving a paycheck. Still, without gaining and applying knowledge I know that this would have never happen and that without deciding to take action I could have just as easily been returning to that dead-end job.<br /><br />I know know you're thinking "Girl in this economy? People are dying for jobs and you're giving yours up?" YES!! I am! See when everything in the world is going right people get complacent. Dreams fade away because jobs are secure and many just coast along earning what they feel is a decent paycheck. But the last few years has shown many of that nothing is guaranteed. A new supervisor that doesn't like you, changes in policy, a failing/failed economy can put you on the wrong side of poverty faster than you can blink. Maybe you know someone this happened to... maybe it happened to you. Regardless, now is the time to take control of your own destiny... to fight the power so to speak. The greatest movements in history that produced real change came when people decided enough was enough and claimed <span style="color:#e33258;">freedom</span> for themselves.<br /><br />As I've said many times my reason for creating <span style="color:#e33258;"><strong>Maven On a Mission</strong></span> was not so much about internet/network marketing and signing people into my opportunities but more about giving moms who want to be home with their children the opportunity to do so. I've learned so much in the past 6 months to a year about being a real entrepreneur... an UNSTOPPABLE ENTREPRENEUR that I can't wait to share with you all. So much value has been poured into me knowingly and unknowingly that there is nothing for me to do but to pour it back out. I genuinely want to see you home with your children (or working from home period) if that's where you desire to be.<br /><br />To those of you that have been following this blog, thank you for your continued support and to those just joining, welcome, welcome, welcome.

Do you know what skills and traits are needed to be a successful entrepreneur? More importantly, do you think you have what it takes? This article will touch on 7 of the most important traits of a successful entrepreneur.</p><ol><li>Self confidence – the successful entrepreneur is noticeably confident. Self confidence is an extremely important characteristic for the successful entrepreneur. Before you start your business, you should feel confident in your abilities and trust yourself and your unique set of skills. When and if the time comes, the successful entrepreneur knows how to summon the drive and determination needed to achieve his dream of starting his own business. He should be confident enough to tackle adversity and resolve any problems that could interfere with his dream.</li><li>Risk taker – successful entrepreneurs don’t always play it safe. They know when to trust their instincts and act on a hunch. Some of the greatest business ventures in history started from a simple “gut feeling” or “hunch”. Let’s face it, there’s always the risk of loss or failure, but the successful entrepreneurs is not afraid to take that chance. </li><li>Fiscally fit - the successful entrepreneur is careful with his finances. He understands the value of money and is usually very particular about his expenditures for his business as well as in his personal life. He may have learned the value of money at an early age; maybe as a teenager who mowed lawns after school or a little boy who took the neighbors trash out every evening.</li><li>Good Intuition – some entrepreneurs claim to “just know” (hunch) if a product or service is going to be a success. No, they aren’t psychic, most likely they just really pay attention to what’s going on in the world around them. They pay attention to the latest trends and are usually active in their industry in some way.</li><li>Competitive nature – the business world is highly competitive regardless of the industry you’re in. The successful entrepreneur knows he must be aggressive if he wants to achieve his dream. He doesn’t feel threatened by his competitors and is always looking for ways to make his business stand out from the crowd. He’s not afraid to work hard to be successful.</li><li>Honorable habits – the successful entrepreneur has a good work ethic. He welcomes suggestions and criticism from his customers or clients and diligently looks for ways to improve his business products and services based on those suggestions. He believes that good work ethic will lead to better business practices, improved business reputation and good standing among industry peers and business associates.</li><li>Vacation time – the successful entrepreneur recognizes the importance of leisure time. He knows when it’s time to step back and relax and spend quality time with family and friends. Taking time away from the hectic business world rejuvenates our mind and body and allows us to better deal with the stresses and strains that inevitably come with having our own business.</li></ol><p align="left">There you have it – 7 of the most important traits of a successful entrepreneur. </p><p align="left">Keep in mind that just because you possess some or all of these traits there is never a guarantee that you will be successful. These are but a few of the ingredients in the recipe for success. If you do happen to possess these traits, congratulations! You have a solid foundation to start building your success. </p><p align="left">---------------------------------------</p><p align="left">About the Author:Shelley Graves is a Virtual Business Support Specialist and owner of Capitol Business Support.

Set yourself up for an empowering week by closing out your week. Take inventory of what tasks you completed. Add those that you didn't complete to the list for the following week.</p><p> </p><p>Here's an important thing to remember. Do not make your top 10 to do list. Make a top 3 priority list. Among them will be at least one thing that will be cash producing.</p><p> </p><p>Read my Facebook update</p><p>Are you ready for an absolutely,empowering week? What are your top 3 to do items for Monday? Add action steps that will allow you to complete them. Avoid checking email first. Focus. Take targeted action. Balance your social media activity. Don't let it consume your day. Allow for a time to step away during the day to avoid overwhelm. Commit your works to the Lord. And so shall your plans succeed. Proverbs 16:3</p><p> </p><p>Want to accelerate your results? Embrace a mindset for success. Whatever happened the week prior is not what you want to focus on. Remember what you focus on expands!</p><p> </p><p>Focus on the results you expect to achieve. Focus on what it will look like when you achieve your desired results. Focus on what it feels like.</p><p> </p><p>Get rid of the negativity. Negative attitudes, negative environment, negative relationships. Of course I’m not suggesting that you get rid of you marriage relationships, however, you can seek out ways to empower your relationships. We’ve actually set up a community to help you do this on our Marriage Empowerment Coach page on Facebook.</p><p> </p><p>The tips I’ve shared in this post should get you started on the right path to your empowering success.</p><p> </p><p>Of course if you need additional support you might consider securing your Coaching A La Carte session</p><p>with me. <a href="http://tinyurl.com/coachalacarte" target="_blank">Click here</a> to find out more and get started.</p><p> </p><p>Here's to your empowering week!</p><p> </p><p>Share your ideas below.</p><p> </p><p>Robin aka The Empowerment Diva</p><p>Authentic Life and Biz Empowerment</p><p>Coach,Mentor,Trainer and Public Speaker to</p><p>Savvy women, New,Aspiring and Entreprising Women Entrepreneurs</p><p><a href="http://www.Authenticlifeempowerment.com">http://www.Authenticlifeempowerment.com</a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p></div>WHAT HAPPENS IN HEAVEN WHEN WE PRAYhttps://mybbwo.com/profiles/blogs/what-happens-in-heaven-when-we2010-10-30T02:20:42.000Z2010-10-30T02:20:42.000ZRickeyhttps://mybbwo.com/members/Rickey<div>WHAT HAPPENS IN HEAVEN WHEN WE PRAY?Hello Community, May your days be most fantastic.

Wewalked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels. Myangel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, ' This isthe Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer arereceived.I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so manyangels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets andscraps from people all over the world.Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.The angel then said to me, "This is the Packaging and DeliverySection. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for areprocessed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them." Inoticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels workinghard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested andwere being packaged for delivery to Earth.Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at thedoor of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel wasseated there, idly doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledgment Section,my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed." How isit that there is no work going on here? ' I asked."So sad," the angel sighed. "After people receive the blessings thatthey asked for, very few send back acknowledgments""How does one acknowledge God's blessings? " I asked.."Simple," the angel answered. Just say, "Thank you, Lord. ""What blessings should they acknowledge?" I asked."If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roofoverhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world.If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in adish, you are among the top 8% of the world ' s wealthy. ""And if you get this on a computer, you are part of the 1% inthe world who has that opportunity.""If you woke up this morning with more health than illness .. You aremore blessed than the many who will not even survive this day. ""If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness ofimprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation . Youare ahead of 700 million people in the world..""If you can attend a church without the fear of harassment, arrest,torture or death, you are envied and more blessed than, threebillion people in the world.""If your parents are still alive and still married ...you are very rare."Ok, what now? How can I start?If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing inthat someone was thinking of you as very special and you are moreblessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read atall.Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you care to, pass thisalong to remind everyone else how blessed we all areATTN: Acknowledge Dept."Thank you Lord, for giving me the ability to share this message andfor giving me so many wonderful people with whom to share it.Thank you Lord for everything, especially all my family and friends."</div>Why you should consider adding the Coaching model to your business and other income streams - Plus access to free audiohttps://mybbwo.com/profiles/blogs/why-you-should-consider-adding2010-11-05T17:09:39.000Z2010-11-05T17:09:39.000ZRobin Tramblehttps://mybbwo.com/members/RobinTramble<div><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#000000;">What is all the fuss about coaching?</span><br /><p class="MsoNormal"></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#000000;">I’ve been getting questions from someof the women in my tribe/network and most want to know how they can getstarted in the coaching business.

Although it may look like a simple orchestration on television, an infomercial is actually difficult to do well.<p></p><p style="text-align:center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align:left;">Cheryl stated in the article that "<em>I</em><em>f startup entrepreneurs were to pretend that their business presentations or retail sales were infomercials, a lot could be gained."</em></p><br /><p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://theconnect4changemarketer.com/index/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/asseenontv.jpg" alt="asseenontv.jpg" /></p>I totally agree with her on that ephiphany! Just look at it this way: At the startup stage of <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">business</span>, you're an unknown. Your struggle is to turn a potential client into a new client. At this point, the potential client has the attention span of a 5-year-old. After all, why should she listen to you? You are not a proven entity, and she is sharing her precious time with you. At the same time, you may be thinking: "I've invested a lot of time, energy and money into this venture and I need to see some return."<br /><br />Both you and the infomercial creator are wrestling with similar thoughts. You both need to get the customer interested in the shortest time possible, you need a quick response, and you need to showcase the benefits of your product or service.<br /><br /><strong>An infomercial strives to get a response from the viewer</strong>. The infomercial has to be explicit in telling the viewer what she must do. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">Entrepreneurs</span> also need to garner responses from their potential clients. When drafting your proposal, designing your presentation, running your TV or print ad or designing your website, tell your potential client what you want her to do. Use language that is specific, avoid questions, and outline your next steps. For example, most web advisors will tell you to have a "call to action" button on all your web pages. The call to action tells your visitors what you want them to do. For example: Buy Now, Join Now, Call this Number, Apply Now.<br /><br /><strong>An infomercial generates a sale or a lead</strong>. Sometimes you run across an infomercial that directs you to call a number and get a free introductory product. This is a lead. Most of the time, they direct you to purchase a product. This is a sale. Some startup entrepreneurs may have varying sales processes. If you have a higher dollar product or service, or a time-consuming service, your potential client may want to get comfortable with you first. You may then try to generate a lead. Another startup could have a low-priced product that needs to be sold on the first try. Figure out where you fall and design <em>your</em> sale or lead generator.<br /><br /><strong>An infomercial has live demonstrations</strong>. What seems effortless on your TV screen is usually practiced tirelessly on the back end. The demonstration reveals all aspects of the product, its benefits are showcased, and you are told why you should buy the product. Startups usually have products that are in beta phase. So most of the time, the potential client has to be educated on its similarity to and difference from similarly situated products. Learning how to demonstrate a product's worth or a service's value is a great advantage for a startup entrepreneur.<br /><br /><strong>Responses from an infomercial are measured</strong>. One of the top priorities of an infomercial is to perform. People must buy, and sales must be made. The buzz has to be created. Well, <span style="color:#008000;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">startup</span></span> entrepreneurs have the same priorities. Yet, like infomercials, they too must realize that in order to get a response, specific steps (like the ones mentioned above) must be followed. As a startup, your goal should include measuring the response of your ad, presentation, proposals, etc. Did it work? Can it be done differently? Does it make sense?<br /><br />If you like this post visit <a href="http://www.theconnect4changemarketer.com/index">The Connect4Change Marketer's blog</a>!<br /></div>Christian Women in Business: Get your message out! 5 sure-fire strategieshttps://mybbwo.com/profiles/blogs/christian-women-in-business2010-09-28T21:25:08.000Z2010-09-28T21:25:08.000ZRobin Tramblehttps://mybbwo.com/members/RobinTramble<div><span style="font-weight:bold;">Attention Christian Women in Biz</span><br /><br />First let me say this from one Christian Woman in Biz to another.<br />One WAHM and mompreneur to another and from one Daughter of<br />God to another.<br /><br />It's your responsibility to express your gifts in a BIG way!!<br /><br />You're a unique one of a kind Gift of God.<br /><br />If you're not involved in the marketing activity of building your list/community consistently you won't<br />attract your ideal clients/customers and without clients/customers you won't have revenue and<br />without revenue your business will cease.<br /><br />Okay I know you've heard that the money is in the list, however, maybe you can't seem to make<br />it work for you.

People often see the glitz and glamour of work-at-home business owners but do not often see what goes on behind the scenes. What follows are some of the pros and cons of living and working in the same place.</p><p></p><p></p><p><strong>#1: Be Your Own Boss</strong></p><p>Owning a home-based business is quite an exciting time in the life of an entrepreneur. For those who are serious about growing their company the effort is very challenging. There is a lot to learn and you wear many hats so there is rarely a dull moment in business. However, this also means that you lose much of the freedom that you may be used to in terms of spending time with family and friends. The flip side is when you run a home-based business you should not have to go it alone. When possible seek help from others to avoid burnout and overwhelm. A good place to start is with your family, friends, or colleagues who may want to earn extra money. Another option is to hire contract employees such as a virtual assistant, bookkeeper, or accountant.</p><p></p><p></p><p><strong>#2: Set Your Own Salary</strong></p><p>Having your own business is not like working a traditional job where you receive a regular pay. In fact, when you are just getting started there may be consecutive periods where you barely earn enough to break-even. However, as demand for your products and services increase there will be limitless opportunities to create the income and lifestyle of your dreams. Stay focused on improving sales and maximizing the bottom line so that you can reap the benefits of ample profits.</p><p></p><p></p><p><strong>#3: Comforts of Home</strong></p><p>Having an office in your home is convenient. Many people who work-at-home pride themselves on being able to run their business in their pajamas. However, one point that should be made is that although comfort is a benefit it must not overshadow your attitude of professionalism. So even if you are a no suit environment keep in mind that customers may not see the clothes you have on but they do see the results of your mindset.</p><p></p><p></p><p>Working from home is a great way to create your ideal lifestyle. This article highlights just a few of the things that happen behind the scenes. Talk with other entrepreneurs to get a better idea of working from home so that you know if this is the right move for you.
