It is my pleasure to introduce to you our PeopleWhoProsper Feature Entrepreneur, Janét Aizenstros. Her story speaks for itself but in a nutshell let me say, WOW. This woman has had some hard times yet has triumphed to become a successful founder, CEO and executive producer of her own radio talk shows. She is the founder of JAOM (Janét Aizenstros Omni Media). Her motto is "helping women be the change, they want to see." JAOM offers several programs which include coaching and wealth management services and radio talk shows, among many others.  Being a licensed life coach, Janét explains, "My primary focus is to teach the fundamental principles of mind, health and wealth from a holistic perspective. She shares more in her interview with me about how she has PROSPERED. Enjoy!

1.Tell me your story. What were you doing before you started your own business?

I am the founder and CEO of JAOM (Janét Aizenstros  Omni Media), which is dedicated to the empowerment and advancement of women worldwide. As an award-winning entrepreneur, internationally recognized writer and radio host, I enjoy teaching women how to achieve the level of success they aspire to attain. My dedication to changing lives has truly motivated other women to capture their visions and dream beyond their current circumstance.

The vision of JAOM is "helping women be the change, they want to see." Well, I am definitely a living testament to self-healing and transformation. After, drastically changing my mind, health and wealth in 2010, I have made it my life's mission to seeing other women achieve the level of success they so aspire to attain.

Through my business savvy and charismatic personality, I've taken my extensive  corporate credentials and are lending those same principles to building my online empire. JAOMONLINE.com is an online platform for women who are "the first to acquire the best" and residence to Editorial  M.O.M, Life Masters Now Success Coaching, Masters Now Wealth Management Group, Masters Now Wealth Mastermind, I am...Janét, Women's Movement Radio Network,  and additional services to further the empowerment of women.  The primary focus of all these program is to instill the importance of three vital components to having a successful business; by creating a solid mindset while achieving great health and secure wealth creation.

I am a licensed practitioner of the Law Of Attraction.  I received my certification under Dr. Joe Vitale (featured in the film The Secret). My primary focus is to  teach the fundamental principles of mind, health and wealth from a holistic perspective.

I've  partnered with many leading international companies to offer women the opportunity to learn how to achieve the Positive Feeling Frequency™, which I  describe in detail in my upcoming book Live Free.

"I want women to know how to master their mind, time and finances.  My desire is to see women succeeding in every aspect of their lives, so they will know what it really feels like to live free and on their own terms."

2. What made you want to start a business and what is your mission?

In September 2010, I had a miscarriage, a close family friend the same age as me died -- leaving behind a 9 month old child and my ex-husband's best-friend, his daughter (age 5) was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia.  All of these events happened on the same day.  I decided I could no longer go on living unhappy.  I didn't start my business right away but I began working on myself, my spirit.  I remember a few weeks later sitting in my kids playroom by myself asking G-d how does He take a heart of stone and make it a heart of flesh again."  Later, that year I was introduced to a network marketing business that gave me the start-up capital to start my business. However, I didn't want to build a network marketing business.  I started reading books and taking courses.

Then I had an Aha moment! In the midst of it all I started a small blog talk radio program called Mommypreneur. I started marketing it to other women network groups overseas because my network marketing business [helped me] capture [an] international audience. I began trying to launch Mommypreneur here in North America but it didn't capture an audience the way I thought.  While, doing the program, women began inquiring if there was an online outlet they could contact me.  I had a blog but I really didn't use it consistently.  I started writing business articles and I became bored because it reminded me of when I worked in corporate.  One night, I started going through my emails and noticed all the emails were relationship based from moms around the world.  Now, I couldn't understand why they would be asking me about relationships because I never spoke about relationships in my program and especially my own. If I did, many would have known I was separated and going through a divorce.  I woke up in the middle of the night and it came to me.  RELATIONSHIPS!!  I spoke to my coach about my apprehension about talking about relationships and she shared that I could relate to women [in] all walks of a relationship.  She showed me how I had been single, married, mother, separated and eventually divorced. I never thought about it that way. I decided I wasn't just going to create another relationship blog, it would have to be reflective of me.  I am honest about who I am with my audience which is why I feel so many women have contacted me. I use my intellectualism mixed with my love of pop culture to convey my message. JAOM is to be an online lifestyle site.  I talk about everything that is me...life, love and lifestyle.  All I did was blend who I am with my existing businesses.  I ended the Mommypreneur program but I have rebranded it under Moms Movement Radio.  My blog gave me a diversified audience that I am happy to receive fan mail from daily.  Also, I've heard claims that it's followed by certain celebrity moms, whether it's true or not I embrace it all.  I make my living at being me, there is no greater feeling than that.

3. What inspires you? What keeps you motivated daily to keep growing your business?

No sleep! LOL  Seriously, I have alway had exceptional time management + great organization skills + diligent consistency with lots of meditation. lol  This is my remedy for success.

4. Do you have a mentor? Who is it and why? Do you believe it's important to have one?

On March 8 of every year the world comes together to celebrate women's economic, political and social achievements. March is also Women's History Month. As you go through the day, take time to remember all the women that came before you and made it possible for us to own businesses. Think of the women that made it possible for us to go to work. Many strides have been made for women and it wasn't that long ago. A lot still has to be done but we are definitely on a roll. So, today remember those women and keep striving towards making your mark on the world. How are you going to do that? What are you doing today in your business to make your mark?

Women are leaders everywhere you look--from the CEO who runs a Fortune 500 company to the housewife who raises her children and heads her household. Our country was built by strong women and we will continue to break down walls and defy stereotypes. ~Nancy Pelosi

I know, I know. I'm sure you're thinking, for real Tamara? You're quoting Tamar??? (For those of you who are unfamiliar, she is one of the Braxton sisters on the reality TV show, Braxton Family Values. The show stars Grammy Award Winner Toni Braxton and her 4 sisters and their life.) I know Tamar can be a bit dramatic but you must admit it's interesting that she actually adds ".com" at the end of a subject or when she is appalled with something. Or as she says, when something is "infinity" or more.

So, today I'm not appalled by anything I'm actually proud, "infinity" and more! I'm proud of the people who are making strides every day and accomplishing goals for their life. I'm proud of people who are taking control of their life and "firing their boss". And I just wanted to say, You'rethebomb.com! I have the pleasure of working with 5 intelligent women who all have business launches coming up within the next month and I love to see their passion. They are working hard to get everything in order and ready for their debut to the world as an entrepreneur and I know they are not the only ones. So congratulations to whomever you are. Whether you are just starting or been on the grind for a long time. Keep up the hard work and remember, You'rethebomb.com!

Has this ever happened to you (because it has to me)? You come up with a great business idea, research it online and find either someone is already doing it or you start to think of ways to be "different". This extends your launch date and eventually the idea just fades away. Here's another scenario, You subscribe to the blogs and publications of business persons you admire and every time they send an email blast you change your direction, operation, or business idea completely, putting you back in a stagnant position, unable to get any business idea off the ground. Not you? Well, good for you. But for those that this applies to, I feel your pain. We've all been there before, in a place of bewilderment about what you should do and how to actually begin. Furthermore, the problem with the scenarios above is that you never get around to building a brand, hence why your business hasn't gotten off the ground yet. Once you F.O.C.U.S. things will start to fall in place:

 Figure it out- What do you want to actually do? Why are you going into business? Why would someone want to work with you as opposed to a competitor? Answer those questions first. They will help you develop a foundation.

Omit distractions -As demonstrated in the scenarios above; it is easy to become distracted. Stop reading every email blast and changing your business direction, stop google-ing people to see what they are doing and changing your website format, stop youtube-ing people to see what they're up to and changing your programming. GET RID OF THE DISTRACTIONS.

Create your Motivation Board- This concept is explained further in The Motivator, but you should have a board with a visual representation of your dreams and goals for your life and for your business. If you don't know where you are going, how will you get there?

Understand your competition- But don't follow their every move. Of course you should know what your competition is doing and make sure you're staying ahead of them. But you cannot be consumed with every aspect of THEIR business and expect every aspect of YOUR business to run smoothly. Learn to balance and have faith in your brand.

Set deadlines- If you have been sitting on an idea for too long because of fear of what others will say or whether people with work with you, STOP! You will never know until you actually launch it. So set deadlines for everything and tell someone you trust so they can hold you accountable. Set a deadline for your website to be done, for your next program, for your next book, for your next business launch! Just do it!

F.O.C.U.S. on what you need to do so you will actually do it. Without F.O.C.U.S.ing on your business needs you will undoubtedly have the same results in 2012 as you did in 2011, nothing. Make it a year for…GREATER! Need help staying focused and motivated in your business?

"Better days ahead, I'm living in the promise of God

A new day is here and I have a fresh expectation

Got  new perspective, loud and clear

 I'm not moved by what I see only what I hear

 I hear GREATER for my life!"

 -Tasha Cobbs

Only YOU can make it happen, so what are you waiting for?  What are your fresh expectations for 2012? Please share your thoughts.

Wow! We’re already in the 2^nd month of 2012. Hopefully you’ve been on the grind and closer to a launch, re-launch or continued success. Hopefully you’ve also seen some improvements in your business. Unfortunately, sometimes with all the hard work comes exhaustion. Are you all blogged out yet? Do you have computer “pink eye” yet from staring at it all night? Do you need to catch up on some beauty rest from some all-night planning sessions?  I commend you on all your hard work and encourage you to keep pushing through until you get your expected end results. BUT sometimes you need to step back and ‘take a chill pill’. Remember that saying? It was used to tell someone to calm down if they were stressed out about something. So I’m telling you now, “Take a chill pill”. Take some time (an hour or two or one day-JUST ONE) to calm your nerves and just sit back and relax. Put your phone away, computer away, stay away from emails and the business phone for a bit and just…chill. Although it’s not mentioned often it is important to keep a healthy balance between business, family, and you! Starting and running a business can be hard so congratulations to you for working so hard. You’re doing a great job, keep up the excellent work. And when it becomes too much to balance remember to… ‘take a chill pill’!

You've heard it all already: What are your goals for 2012? Be sure to write down your plan and strategies for 2012... That is all fine and dandy. And actually activities you should be doing but the bottom line is if you don't know why you're doing them then you're not going to achieve anything in 2012. Sorry to be blunt but let's be real. If you haven't gotten past your excuses for why you haven't done anything in 2011, you're not going to do anything in 2012. Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. You know, those excuses you come up with when you're telling people why your business plans haven't moved past just a mere idea, for example:

1. " Oh yeah girl, I want to start a basket-weaving business but I am looking for business loans" (Don't have money)

This excuse MAY  apply if you're trying to open a mall or restaurant chain. But if you are starting a small business, that will mostly be web-based then this is NOT a good excuse. There are so many FREE sources out there that will get you up and running with a website, social networking sites, and ways to market, in no time. The most you would need (besides getting the basket weaving materials) would be $50-$200 MAX (And if you don't have $50 to spare, to start your business, then you absolutely need to start your business!). You would definitely need to buy a domain name ($15 more or less), and perhaps a website host (but not needed at first) and then design everything on your own. This is all something you can do if you free up an evening after work. So that excuse is...ALL FRESH OUT!

2. "I want to start a wood-carving business but girl, my boo would not support me!" (Family/spouse are not supportive)

This can be difficult to handle but you have to distinguish what type of support you're "not" getting. If you have family members telling you, "you will fail" and that "you are not capable of starting a business on your own", then unfortunately, you may need to excuse some people from your life. Or at least, not share with them what you're doing because that is negative energy.

On the other hand, you might have people who don't say those things but won't buy your products, attend business meetings with you, or want to hear all you go through. THAT'S OK! You're in business for yourself, so do it yourself. Once you're laughing to the bank, they'll want to hear all about what you did and you can decide how much information you want to share then. :) This is not being mean or discounting anyone's opinion, but the biggest part about starting a business is exuding your self-confidence. With confidence comes a responsibility of doing what you are motivated to do, REGARDLESS of what others say. You are going to have people talk about you, you are going to have some failures, but if you focus on your motivation and goals you WILL be prosperous. You cannot care about what others think or what they may say. Even if they think this is just another one of your "crazy" ideas or something you've never tried before. Step out on faith and do what you gotta do! So this excuse is...ALL FRESH OUT!

3. "I want to start a calligraphy writing business but I"m scared, girl!" (Being afraid)

Congratulations! At least you're admitting it now. :) Surprisingly, this is not a rare excuse to have. Starting a new business is a new venture. Anything new, can be scary at times. So it's completely understandable if you are afraid. Some people are afraid of what is needed to start a business, some people are afraid of the outcome of having a business, and some people are afraid of the success they can attain from a business. That is all apart of human nature which is why you must have faith and be motivated to accomplish more than the average person. You won't know what you're capable of until you try. Remember, "Do not be afraid... for the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught" Proverbs 3:25-26. Now this excuse is..ALL FRESH OUT!

4. "I want to start an iron sculpting business but I don't know where I'd begin!" (Don't know what to do/lack of education/unaware of competition)

This will require some work on your part. In order to know what to do, you will have to research, read, and talk to some people with experience. That is not hard to do if you focus on the goals you are trying to accomplish in your business. Get books about starting the type of business you're interested in and read it in sections. Don't start at the beginning if you don't need it. Go to the chapters that are relevant to you.

Luckily with starting your own business, you don't necessarily need an MBA to run one (although, more education never hurts), but you definitely need to read more about what you need and talk to people with some experience. If you don't know anyone with experience then Black Business Women Online and TheCEOmamma Network are great resources to reach out to knowledgeable women, that are willing to help.

Most importantly, you must be aware of your competition. Who else has successful iron sculpting, calligraphy, or basket-weaving businesses online? What types of specials are they offering? What type of newsletters or perks do they offer their customers on Facebook or Twitter? You must be aware of these companies so you know what to do and what not to do. You can't be like others, but by observing the competition you can get more ideas and perhaps build a successful competitive company. So this is excuse is...ALL FRESH OUT.

There are a lot of resources that will help you get rid of all these excuses. Stop going around talking about what you want to do and actually DO it! 2012 is the year. You've had these ideas for a while now is the time to do something with them. Be different from others around you that are stuck in the same "talk about it, but NOT about it" mentality. Make 2012 a year of checking goals OFF of your list as ACCOMPLISHED! You can do it, you just have to stay focused and motivated. Write down your goals for 2012 for your business and then institute a plan.

If you need help with manifesting your business ideas and dreams, this may help. The GPS Plan includes a business plan and schedule, domain name, website, getting you started, and more! This deal is ALMOST free. I want you to start 2012 out right! Contact me for more details at tamara@garrisonprosperitysolutions.com.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

For all my Good Girlfriends! I love you and Thank God for you! Let's make 2012 our year to GROW our businesses.......LET'S GET IT DONE......girlfriends.......

Empower Network is a great way to earn another stream of income and empowering online marketers to grow their business.  It's a simple 3 step viral blogging system that's plug and play ready, the blog is aged with a ready to go WordPress and it's considered an authority site.  Remember, the blogging system is already ranked high with Alexa, so this allows your blogs to get ranked faster on search engines and Google.  This is half the battle if you're trying to get your blog up and running without the hassles of creating one from scratch.  Alexa Rankings for Empower Network

You actually have a sales funnel that your leads go through, along with auto-responders, capture pages and the behind the scene psychology of attracting your prospects to your blog.  All you need to do is blog daily and get traffic to your blog, tell others and get paid! 

Empower Network simply gets you up and running to post your blogs.  What's awesome is that you receive 100% commissions and your money is deposited straight into your bank account, instantly! 

This network started October 31, 2011, and to date, has paid out over $1M in 100% commissions to 9,000+ members. That's MOMENTUM in two months!  This is a great vehicle to help newbies that are struggling in either network or online marketing that may have never generated any income.

There are 3 levels to get started: Level 1-$25, Level 2-$100 and Level 3-$500.  Each level has intensive training to get you started, weekly conference calls.....and more!  If you get started for $25 and someone joins, you just broke even your 100% commission and its residual income every month.  So image if you purchased the Level 2 $100 and someone joins, you just got paid $100 with residual income and the same applies with the $500 level.  You only get paid on the levels you own (which you now have resell rights), if not, then that money gets passed up.  Once someone joins you directly or through someone on your team at whatever level, you'll receive an email saying, "Congratulations, You Just Received A $25 commission." 

Empower Network was created to help the average marketer brand themselves, make 100% commissions and simply "empower" you to become a better online marketer and help others.

I have included a video from two women that explains why you should get involved with Empower Network.

Raise your hand if you have time to go door-to-door selling your services? Raise your hand if you have the mental capacity to sign up for and remember every social network possible to sign in everyday and advertise your services? Lastly, raise your hand if you have the time to sit in front of your Twitter/Facebook/LinkedIn pages all day to publish numerous posts, marketing your business services? I don't see many hands. And if I see one or two, great for you! But let's be real! A lot of us don't have time to do all the things we want for our business daily. We are just too busy! Some us have full-time jobs, families to tend to, the kid's activities to attend, community obligations, etc. So, it takes a lot of effort to grow a successful business.

Luckily for us 'busy' people there are online services that will help us with our business needs for little to know money. Like: hootsuite, aweber, contact me, campaign monitor, prweb, ejunkie, and now busy925!

Even though it goes unnoticed, cold calling is probably the most effective way to grow your business. Believe it or not, cold calling is a part of business development. Steve Richard shares in his blog, 'Outbound Prospecting The Cold Calling Tactic That Works' that 71% of sales reps stated that most of their best deals came from self- generated outbound efforts. "Successful businesses do not sit back and wait for the phone to ring or marketing leads to fall in their laps. They proactively make business happen. The fact is outbound prospecting (a.k.a. cold calling or warm calling) is one well kept secret to 21st century business growth, especially for B2B service and technology companies"( Steve Richard).

If you are still skeptical, check out Diane's story. She's a mother of 3, divorcee that was fired from her 3 corporate jobs. She used cold calling as a method to not only find a job but to build a successful consulting business. You could also check out my friend, Melissa Taft  who fell ill when starting her network marketing business. She used cold calling as a method  to build her business because she couldn't go out and prospect. She is now in one of the top levels of the company and a motivating leader.  So, how can cold calling help your business grow? Like in these stories cold calling can help strengthen your 'sales skills', get you new customers, thus getting more business, and gets the word out about your company. 

Now, you just have to find the time to do it! Well, not really. That's what Busy925 is for. Busy925 is an outbound calling service that assists small businesses in their growing. They not only handle the outbound cold calling but every other call too! They will make your prospecting, follow-up, reordering, pre/post attendance generation, and marketing survey calls!

With all the services available to help with your social networking, email marketing, list building, and now cold calling, being 'busy' will never be an issue again!

I had to forward an email I just got from
David Sharpe. I was a little taken back
when I started reading, but I think you'll
see why I passed it along to you.

Just FYI.

It is a little graphic.....

-------Fwd Email-------

Most folks would never tell you about the
skeletons in their closet in fear that you
might judge them.

Well here's my truth.....

For 10 years of my life I struggled with
addiction and alcoholism.

I lived mostly on the streets and in abandoned
cars and houses.

I had a daughter at the age of 16 and was
separated from her when she was 5.

I felt empty inside and never thought I
would get to experience life the way
'normal' people do.

I was a victim of my own thinking and
bad decision making.

And, I....

...on more than one occasion, almost lost my
life by way of being in the wrong place at the
wrong time.

However, in February of 2008 I reached a
bottom I had never experienced before.

I was empty on the outside.....

.....and empty on the inside.

I took a risk, and crawled my way into a room
where I knew a man and asked him to help me
save my life.

And he did.

After massive personal transformation, 4 years
passed and a little blood, sweat and tears......

......I've managed to stay completely clean and
sober and turn my life around full circle.

I've fought to get my family back, including
the most important person in my world.....

....my eleven year old daughter.

I'm actually about to run out the door and have
a 'dedicated daddy night' with her and grab some
pizza :)

I found love.....

....and plan to spend the rest of my life with
Erin,  my girlfriend, who has also helped me
save my life.

Not to mention when I first started this whole
online marketing thing just over 2 years ago......

......I didn't even own a computer.

Today it's not like that though.

Not only do I know what it's like to have a
defining moment in my personal life - I know
what it's like to have a defining moment in my
business, too.

I've since gone on to become one of the most
sought out trainers, coaches and marketers in
the online marketing industry, and built teams
in the thousands and produced results on a
massive scale.

I invite you 'behind the walls' of my life because
I want to share my personal experience with you
in hopes that you realize......

....whatever 'monkeys' are on your back.

...whatever struggles you're trying to overcome.

...and no matter how much you think there's no
hope left.

I'm here to tell you that there is.

If a 28 yr old homeless addict, who society
wrote off as an outcast and lifetime loser
can break the mold and seize the moment....

So can you.

And not only do I want to help you create a
permanent change in your personal life...

I want to help you create a permanent change
in your business, too.

But you have to do what I did and take action.

I crawled my way into a room where I knew
a man and asked him to help me save my life.

And he did.

Now it's your turn.

In the last 2 weeks, we've seen the people
inside Empower Network display greatness.

They've done things that will be talked about
for YEARS to come.

And already, thousands of people have made
money.

And it's been deposited directly into their bank
account.

Because we want you to be in control of
your life ...and your money.

You work for it.

You get it.

You do what you want with it.

And don't settle for less.

Our income report is tremendous, and we're
proud to show it off to whoever wants to see it.

Because we're making a difference.

One person at a time.

One family at a time.

One business at a time.

So......

If you haven't had your first 100% commission
directly deposited into your bank account yet,
you deserve to feel that feeling.

We've already paid out $773,024.20 .....

....and we just hit our 6,000 member today.

550 people are joining everyday.

Do you think there's a reason for that?

And all that in just 16 days.

We've got a couple of people who have made
more than $30,000.00

Several that have made more than $20,000.00

And lot's that have made more than $10,000.00

Best of all....

We've got tons more who have made a few
thousand, or even their very first sale online.

Sometimes I sit back and think about what
would have happened if I never took a risk
to ask someone to help me save my life.

Where would I be?

What would I be doing?

Who would I be with?

If I didn't decide.

Every breakthrough starts with one thing.

The first step.

Take it, now.

You will never get this moment back.

It's your turn.

Decide.

This is as good as it gets.

We just want to know if you're ready to join us.

Hello Everyone,

Can I just tell you that David Woods and David Sharpe are simply amazing. These two men have created Empower Network so that anyone can profit from it. If you are new to internet marketing, this system is so easy to use. If you are an internet marketing guru, you know that this is the best thing since sliced bread.

If you haven’t heard by now, Empower Network is the latest business opportunity that is creating a lot of buzz. People want to become a part of this amazing opportunity. This company has made over a million dollars in less than a month. Now tell me that doesn’t blow your mind!

David Wood and David Sharpe have made Empower Network affordable to join. The options are $25.00, $100.00 and $500.00. I will break down what you will receive and how the payments are made.

The first option is $25.00 - I highly recommend this package. With this package you will receive a blog hosted by WordPress. The blog is set up so that you do not have to do anything but create content. The blog has all the plugins you will need.

The beauty of this program is that you can blog about anything. If you are an affiliate marketer or in network marketing, you can blog about your products. This will allow you to make money on your product and if someone signs up under you, you will receive money as well. You can only benefit from this program.

The second option is $25+$100 – You will receive everything that is in option 1. In addition to this option, you will be granted access to the inner circle training with David Wood and David Sharpe. With their knowledge and expertise you will be making money in no time.

The third option is $125+$500- You will receive everything that is in option 1 and 2.  You will also receive unlimited access to the mastermind training videotaped in Costa Rica.

Now you maybe wondering “what is in it for me?” For starters, you will receive 100% commission for everyone who joins under you. Yes, you read that correctly, 100% COMMISSION. The money you make will go directly into your paypal or merchant account. If do not have either one of these accounts to receive payments you will have to set one up.  The reason for setting up a merchant or paypal account is so that you can receive the entire 100% commission.

The catch regarding the different options is:

• If someone under you wants to get in under the $100 or $500 option, you will not receive the commission if you purchased the $25 option. However, you can always upgrade.

You will also have to keep in mind, if you do not select the $500 package, you will have to pay the other two options monthly. Which is not bad if you make a profit, but you should upgrade as soon as possible.

I highly recommend that you join under the $25 option. This gives you an opportunity to see if this system will work for you. If you feel that Empower Network is not for you then you can always cancel before you are billed again. Payments already made will not be refunded.

So you've decided to take the plunge, create your "American dream" and own a business! At this point you've either decided to start a direct marketing company, a network marketing company, invest in a franchise or have decided to just start your own. Well, CONGRATULATIONS!!! You have made the first step, which can be the easiest or hardest decision we make. But after you've paid the money, created the business plan, received the business starter kit with training and had a chance to sit down and let the smoke clear, you may start to think, NOW WHAT? How do you market yourself? How do you get products on the shelves? How do you get employees? Better yet, how do you get CUSTOMERS???

Well do not fear! This is a common reaction after starting a business. There are so many transitions you will go through as you try to build your business and make it a SUCCESS! The key is to continue to TRY! DON'T GIVE UP! Remember, 'There's no gain without pain'. You have to have those empty bank account, broke days. You have to have those, "what's an upline and where do I find it?" days. You have to have those empty store days (no customers/prospects). You have to have those clients that make EVERYTHING difficult. You have to have those constant budget revisions in order to appreciate the abundance of success you're about to receive!

So make sure you have a thought-provoking quote, favorite song, or something that motivates you EVERY TIME, so you can always refer to it when you have those 'give up' moments. Because 'Quitters never prosper'! (I know, a lot if idioms, but hey, they apply and sometimes we just need to be reminded)

I’m a music teacher by day so I’m inspired by a lot of songs, but ONE that really motivates me is a song called "Encourage Yourself” by Donald Lawrence. What song or quote or motivational activity do you have? (and it doesn’t have to be religious, that’s just me. What do YOU do?)

Consider this because it applies wherever you are:

Severe Economic Emergency

In Southern California, the economic downturn has hurt African American men, who are heavily represented in many blue-collar industries. The effects of slowing trade with China are rippling through the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, long a steady source of work for black longshoremen, truckers and warehouse workers. The cost of living is up and companies are keeping the salaries at severe recession rates. Lots of businesses have received "bailout" money and have chosen to give themselves raises instead of bringing YOUR salary up to par. PLANK ON THIS PEOPLE.
From the Desk of Political Analyst Brent D. Page

So what are you going to do about it?? Are you going to continue to sit there and do nothing, while your salary gets smaller and smaller? Are you going to keep going to work wondering if this is the day their going to give you pink slip??

Stop worrying about all of that, and start your OWN business! There are so many benefits to owning your own business: making your own money, tax benefits (house,car, and phone write-offs), make your own MONEY! If you're scared, I can help you.

A couple of weeks ago, I had a great team meeting led by my business partners, which just so happen  to be my distinguished parents, Dr. Jerome and Cheryl Garrison.  My father spoke about how to approach someone and talk to your cold market  and I wanted to share this effective way to get more prospects or get connected with someone that can give you hot referrals for your business! My father studied these strategies from Network Marketing Gurus such as Bob Schmidt and Zig Ziglar and shared them with our team:

There are 3 things you need to find out when speaking to a prospective business partner or customer:

1. Find out who they are by using the PIN strategy (which we'll get to in a sec)

2. Find out when they can talk again

3. Decide what type of client they would be:  Business Partner, Customer, or New Friend

1.When considering opening up your market and approaching people you see when you're out  grocery shopping, or at the mall, or even at the gas station, there are several things you need to consider. First, you should probably be in a good mood and have a great attitude. You should be ready to present yourself with confidence and great knowledge and love for you business! IF and only IF you see someone who fits in the prior categories should you use this strategy. The PIN:

P= Personal

You need to find out about the person. Go up and introduce yourself. Edify the person and give them a compliment. For example say, "I couldn't help but notice how sharp you looked, how nice your makeup was, how firm your handshake was". Then ask them about themselves. What do they do for a living? Do they have a family? Do they work long hours?

I=Interest

Find out what their hobbies are. What do they like to do for fun? These questions are building trust and allowing your future prospect to trust you and become more comfortable talking to you.

N=Need

Find out what their needs are. What MORE are they looking for in life? (NOTE: Some people are very content with their lifestyle. Whether it be stressing from check-to-check or spending more hours working, away from family or no vacations to make more money, "to each is own".)  You could ask them, if you could change 1 thing about their life or career, what would it be?

2.After using the PIN strategy find out when and how would be a great time to reconnect with them, contingent on if the person and conversation went well, of course. You might ask something like, " Do you keep your income options open? I would love to share with you what I do", or " I enjoyed talking to you, I would like to talk to you more about what I do and how it might help you, when would be a great time to meet up with you again?" or even " Do you have a card or number so we can connect again?"

3.Keep in mind that while you're talking to people you should be thinking of the categories and figuring out where they would fit in. Would they be a:

 Business Partner: Do they seem industrious, would go the extra mile, are they influential, are they a good communicator, are they open-minded, are they warm and easy to talk to, do you think they're reliable person? 

Customer: Do they have a need for new makeup or have health issues you might be able to help them with? Do they like to throw parties? Do they like candles? Etc.

New friend: Believe it or not, most people might end up in this category. But if you think about it, what's wrong with having a new friend? Especially  if they already own business, you could help each other out.

So, there you have it, some strategies you can use when speaking to a brand new person or what we call someone in your cold market. Speaking to new people can expand your business greatly. You never know who you can come across and what they can help you do. So, consider it!

Well, it is! C'mon everybody, we can do better than this. I know it's summer time and you're probably hot wherever you are (although, not hotter than me. I'm in Phoenix, Arizona!), but business is still going as usual. Ms.LaShanda Henry created BBWO as a forum for us to SUPPORT each other, HELP each other, and USE each other...(for services, products, etc.) and we're not using it to it's fullest potential. People post blogs and thoughts all day but NO ONE comments! And how many BBWO friends do you have? 

So I'm just commenting on how quiet it has been lately. I know everyone is busy with LIFE but with the ability to comment on Twitter or Facebook it should make it a little easier to be more active. I've decided to make it a goal of mine to comment on at least one blog daily (baby steps), or to be-friend AND communicate with a few people a week. Make it a goal of yours! If you're a blog writer then you know how helpful it is to hear what people think.So, let's help each other, and start COMMENTING.

Let's start now: What is your opinion? What business are you in? How has BBWO helped you in your business? Have you made any goals for your business or BBWO membership?

Ok enough of the tangent...

Stay motivated and keep moving towards prosperity!

See you at the top,

Tamara Garrison-Thomas
