7 Reasons NOT to Have a J.O.B./Part 2

Reason #4



PANTYHOSE



As I write this, I’m working.

I’m wearing a tank top and shorts. I’ve got my feet propped up on the deck railing as birds sing at the feeder.

When I had a J.O.B., there was a dress code. And rules about what you could have on your desk. There was limited time for lunch, and no time for creativity. And don’t even get me started on pantyhose! Those high heels I wore were a killer by the end of the day too!!






What would you do with a million dollars?

#5 Reason



Your Money doesn’t go as far when you are an employee as almost half your salary will go to taxes. 
You get to spend what’s left on living expenses. One of my first self-employed discoveries was that my money went MUCH further- investing in myself or supplies for my business. Owning your own business…helping your dollars expand…It’s a Good Thing!






Reason #6



Focusing on your Weaknesses.

Have you ever heard of a “360?”

That’s when your co-workers and supervisors (and anyone else who wants to chip in) analyze your job performance. You learn all about your weaknesses – and you get a review outlining the ways you need to work on them. Often, people leave these “360” reviews in tears.

In the world of the solo-preneur, we don’t mess with our weaknesses. The motto is Strengthen your Strengths. Hire your Weaknesses. In other words, as you become aware of your weaknesses, you don’t waste your precious energy fixing them.





Reason #7



Many office environments don’t encourage creative thinking or positive energy. Instead, there’s lots of negativity among employees who feel powerless.

In your own business, you set the tone, and you choose who enters your environment. You become deeply personally responsible for every aspect of your life.

This is often more uncomfortable than sitting back and blaming “The Man,” but it will absolutely free you.


7 Reasons Not to Have a J.O.B./Part one.

1. Having a Job is Way too Risky!!!!!!!



When you have a J.O.B. (JUST OVER BROKE), someone can take away your income just by uttering two words: “You’re Fired.” This is happening more and more as companies crumble in the face of global changes in commerce. Those 2 words do not exist in your own business.

If you ask me, there’s nothing secure about that. Especially for older citizens who find it difficult or next to impossible to get hired due to age or health related problems that limit the type of work they can do.

When you enjoy your own business, and a client or customer moves on – then guess what? You get to say, “Next!”





2. No Bonus Pay for Messing Up


When you mess up at your job, you get punished, maybe even a pay-cut. Then you have to run around “making nice” to the people who might lay you off or promote someone else who’s younger and “hungry.” (Hungry for what? More time at the office?)

When one of my clients faces challenges in her business, I cheer. She’s getting paid to learn! Every mistake teaches her more about how to succeed.

Instead of getting an MBA – she’s getting a TBF. (Trial by Fire! :-) ) TBF’s can really pay-off!

On my own, but not alone, in my office, my own business

On my own, but not alone, in my office, my own business




3. Your Ceiling isn’t Adjustable.



Often, I think about how hard I worked in my other life….ahem…corporate jobs. I’ve always been the type to give more than I get….work more hours than I get paid for…take work home for goodness sakes. Bet you know what I’m talking about. But, no matter how much more I gave…or how expert I became….once I reached the top salary of that particular billet….I couldn’t make more.

When I talk to new clients now about the possibilities being endless in owning their own business, their eyes light up. They stop thinking in terms of “hours for dollars,” and start thinking of passive income. (Hey, why not get paid while you sleep?)

In a job, you can’t adjust your income based on the value you provide. Instead you have to ask for a raise. Not fun, doesn’t always work and if you don’t get the raise…it affects your self-esteem.

Give yourself a raise anytime you want ….on a daily basis….by simply being who you are and sharing with others.

A Shocking Demo of Why You Want to Brand YOU.Inc

The Blue Sunset Yesturday

The Blue Sunset Yesterday

A few hours ago, thousands of independent associates of the iLearning Global company received the shocking e-mail of the day , which announced the closing of the marketing network part, in favor of their retail mode.

I am one of those marketers for iLG. shocked and unable to believe it at first reading of that e-mail. I’ve been only 4 months with this company, and a genius as my up-line, David Wood, and I imagine how huge can be the shock for him too: he built the best top earners team of iLG in less than 6 months, moved 1000s of dollars in that company, helped 100s of people to make money and grow their business, and one of a sudden, in a few words the company says to him, thank you for your so great work, we don’t need you anymore, bam.

In 30 minutes, this guy came from a shocking news that has the potential of destroying big part of his life, to a continuing of his leadership, his company, his people gathered around him to start over with an other product! That what winners do. Make decision fast, and implement fast. He choose immediately to not complain, not blame anyone nor anything,not to cry on himself, but to go forward and continue!

How could he do that? He followed the rule of success in marketing: brand yourself. He was not dependent of a one company , and still is not, and will very probably never be. He created his own business.inc, and multiple streams of income.

I’m glad I followed Dave, and did what he did, and being able today to continue, like he does, and I do it with him. ILG was his primary business-opportunity, it was mine as well, but it’s only a product, like many others good ,excellent products. It was not his, nor my business. Who do we continue with?

Numis.

Numis is my new product and my primary business-opportunity from today. And I choose as well to act fast, and to continue, to keep my people with the teams that I build able to continue with me , as I continue with David. Remember, people do business with people. Not with things. So we are looking for many others leaders like us, who have or want to create their own business, grow it, and grow themselves as the same time! This team is uplifting for your all life. Don’t believe us, TRY us:

WHY BE ORGANIZED IN YOUR HOME-BUSINESS AND HOW? part two

Ok. You’ve watch Daily success Stream website? What did you like in it? What has it got to do with being organized, and try to get all things done every 24 hours?
Many many many things
It’s about trainings, videos, DVDs and audios and CDs that give you high quality Educational Content, and where you can find most of your solutions, to most of your questions, regarding most aspects of your life.


So today, after I stated the main issue of what to do to fit in 24 hours, what requires 28 hours, I’ll tell you how I organized that, and get results that I feel really well with, save me time and money. Which is the main topic of this blog by the way.

What are those ducks doing here again....follow them , you'll know
“What are those ducks doing here again….follow them, you’ll know”


Lets make it a 5 points solution:

Point one: Don’t put the cart before the horse.

Have an overall strategy for your business, and for your life goals.
Then only, plug in specific monthly , weekly, daily tactics. It’s like you are building a house: layout first, know what’s the big picture, and then start taking the bricks in order.

Point 2 : Choose well the bricks, and how and what for use them.

It’s very important to use the right things , with the right tools, and in the right process.
Yes, you need a process, and the tools, and the map. With those, then I learned to apply the ” 3Ws” rule: What am I gonna do with this (brick)
When I’m gonna do it,
Where I put it if I do it later?
Every “brick” that can be put somewhere in less than ten minutes is to be put there now.

Point 3 : Prioritize, this is an essential skill to learn, if you don’t have it already.

There are so many things to do , you need to be very clear on what is important, what is urgent, and how important it is, and how urgent. I learned a quite efficient way to use this technic: the quadrant page: you divide a page in 4 parts, upper left part is Important to do,
upper right is Not Important to do,
lower left part is Urgent to do,
lower right part is Not urgent to do.
Then you list each item in the category it belongs to, and it’s easy to prioritize this way: you want to stay first things to pick from the left side of the quadrant, and last pick from the right side.
Example:
you want to prioritize something Important, and not urgent, or urgent , before something urgent but not important.
Got it? Skype me if not sure. I’ll be glad to speak with you. That’s important.

Point 4 : Have a DMO, written down. Yes, a Daily Method of Operations.

You’ve list your tasks, prioritized them, know which tools you’ll use to do the tasks, get your bricks ( your contents for marketers) , and you have 24 hours available 7 times a week, as we saw in the part one of the article.
My DMO is simply the written order of my task, scheduled according to my life style, my goals, and guided by previous points 1 2 and 3.
You can choose any system to organize your life and business, paper, digital, planner book, what fits you the best.
I do personaly use an A4 format planner, where I have the view of the week on the 2 pages, and I write every day and time, my tasks on one side for each day, and useful notes and information on the other side. from here, I can track almost everything, especially build my list of prospects and follow up.

Point 5 : Be a good Note-Taker.

That follows the DMO, as it’s essential to be productive. I personally write done everything
, which allows me first, to free space in my mind to think when I need, and not embarrass it my things to remember, and second , I can impress people when I call them, as they see I take them for important person.
Always use , when you have a discussion , the “let me take my notes….” so that you can show how confident and solid person you are, speaking no mistakes, and sure of that.

Those 5 points are basic fundamentals to achieve your goals by being organized, which we have been talking about earlier this year.
The short descriptions here are mainly part of all topics developed by top and best and awarded speakers and business people, CEOs and coaches, who are involved in the ” iLearningGlobal.TV company.
To learn how you can as well be involved with us, and build a long term profitable and wonderful fun and mmm, no words strong enough….. activity, business, you really need to watch this 2 thumbs up presentation, by Dave Wood, -I name him “the crazy guy in Costa-Rica ” ’cause he made it from Alaska to there in 5 months in our system , and as a newbye online -
So, this movie is ( sorry, this webinar) at 8.00 pm daily (but not Sat/Sun) here:

and it’s amazing. I learned incredible things in this presentation, that I bet my car that you won’t find anywhere else! Hahaha! Have fun!


WHY BE ORGANIZED IN YOUR HOME-BUSINESS AND HOW? part one.



We all want to be wealthy , healthy and wise, so we follow the rules that we believe will help us to be successful, to live our ideal lifestyle, to grow our business and our wellness.
But there are so many “rules” out there, that we are overwhelmed so easily, and we look ten for ways to manage to do everything which make us succeed. Today, we are going to look at what is our situation, and how to be organized , in order to reach all our goals of wealth, health and wisdom!




First, here’s the story in which most of us are immersed in:
We are told to eat one apple a day, for the iron, and eat one banana a day for the potassium.
Also, one orange or better a kiwi, for vitamine C and a big cup of green-tea-no-sugar for diabetes.Everyday, we must drink half a gallon of water( and then go to the restroom, which takes double time than you already lost drinking it)
Every day we have to eat a yoghourt, to get our “L.Cassei Defendis” in order to digest all the others things we eat.
Every day one Aspirine to prevent heart-attack, a glass of red wine for the same thing,an other of white wine for cerebral system, and a glass of beer for I don;t know what…If we drink all that at once, we can get a cerebral haemorrhage, but don’t worry, you won’t even see it happening to you.



Every day, we need to eat fibers, a lot of fibers, until the stomach scratches,and we must eat 5 to 6 light meals, and we must chew 100 times each bite. So that if you start counting, you get to spend 5 hours to eat daily.
Ho, and after each meal, you must brush your teeth, after the yoghourt, you must brush your teeth, same after the apple, and after the banana, and so on , until you have just 3 teeth left…. and don’t forget to brush the tongue, and to floss ,and to rinse with listerine….
We have to sleep 8 hours, work, or be active trying to work 8 hours, plus time for eating, that’s 21 hours. You’ve got 3 hours left.
According to the stats, we watch the TV 3 hours, which is not at all possible , since we must walk half-an-hour each day.
We must see our friends regularly, be innovative in sex, wash the dishes and the socks, wipe the floor and change the sheets ,play on the computer, open your e-mails, and I don’t mention here the fact that you might have children, and dogs and cats, or a crocodile in your yard….Yes ,we have duckies. see!?

I am surfer: on Pacific Ocean waves, and on Internet.
I am also a Marketer online, creator and author of my businesses and websites, for my Company : Consulting & Development,

Why I started Internet Marketing ?

Because I was not having fun at all anymore! After the fun of building a new business , early then come the time when trading my time for money, being paid by the hour, doing businesses that required too much of my time and energy for too small financial rewarding, all that is not “living” .

When I found out that the best way to live free and wealthy was leverage my investments, I started an Internet marketing business, and I want to share this with like minded people:
if you are anything like me, hopefully my story will inspire you to discover a better alternative just like I did when I decided to work from home and make money on line, having my own business.

But before I get into all of that…let me just tell you my story:


I was born and raised in France.
My father made his carrier with a big petroleum American company, and gave me the taste for traveling, and eventually, I caught that “American Dream” virus when I was 12.

But, France is a small , old country, and I my mind was shaped in that society to find it normal to live “small and old ways” and especially to avoid responsibility ,but being specialist at seeking assistance.
So I am so grateful that my parents succeeded to teach me this entrepreneurial way of living, in spite of their own old french fashion education .

I started being a life-guard at the age of 18, then a sports teacher, then worked in tourism and in air-transportation industries. After 7 years with different employers , including myself, who I worked for, I decided I would be a true entrepreneur, and never write a resume again.

I started a small business in the little town where I was living, on the French Riviera, and managed 4 employees.
At the age of 29, I met my husband, and became as well as his wife, his partner in his business: manage a fitness center. This is at this point of the story that you will start to understand why we decide to move our life out of France….
We both were running the Gym 12 hours a day, 6/7, no vacations. No time to enjoy our house, the sea and the sun. Sundays busy to make accounting, desperate to pay all taxes on time each month. Making good money, but giving it 60% to the government, with our time.
So we sold the gym, the furniture, the cars, left the family, and moved to Tahiti, French Polynesia.


I was now at the reach of my American dream, and after a lot of learning and experiences, I ended up creating my own company in Hawaii, while my husband still run his small business in Moorea.
We were giving ourselves a most enjoyable style of life, but still, running that kind of business (wholesale and retail) is taking a lot of time and stress, for just make this good living.

One day, I read the book of Robert Kyosaki: ‘Rich Dad-Poor Dad” and I realized that I needed to change my way of working. I had to position myself in that right part of the quadrant, and I started to search how I could make it.
I searched and tried many things on the internet, until I hit THE button: I started my Internet marketing business !
Since then, I have no more problems, I do what I like, when I like, where I like, no stress, no worries, and I do my work with pleasure, fun, and success !
I love my life with this work, and this freedom !I love my work ! I can see things differently now, be happy.
Big part of my work is networking, and speaking with people. I can tell I’m really having fun !

My life is really changed, and I would love to network and work with like minded people and really get the word out, share this with as many serious persons as possible.
