How Education Causes Your Business To Excel, Because You Literally Are Getting Smarter When You Exercise Your Mind.

If you are doing things right, then you won’t be as dumb as you are today………by tomorrow.

ha ha you…a…. funny man Broker Jones……right?

But no….I’m serious. I was taking an english class in college at Arizona State University when suddenly our small framed teacher, who was a high intensity and high energy lady in her early 40’s, turned around and began drawing Dendrites and Neurons up on the white board.

“You see they tell you that your brain cells start dying when you’re 12 and from there you are never as smart or capable as you get older as you are when you were 12 as far as learning new things,” she stammered cleverly, all the while drawing these long flowery looking specimens upon the whiteboard. “but the reality is that our brains are capable of growing new nerve endings that literally connect with each other and increase the level of cognitive capabilities that you can perform.”

Our English instructor, completed her non-english instruction for the day and I was left with a sensation that “college was really cool”.

Not because I really care about finishing a degree or having a “diploma” to use as a conversation piece because honestly……none of that stuff matters in the online entrepreneur world. But as far as learning a well rounding education and getting great real world analogies from a host of professors who have undoubtedly been “exercising their own minds” and thus contributing a great deal of Dendrite and Nueron growth in our  own minds…….it’s an absolutely phenomenal experience.

What you spend your time learning today may not be important to you because of the content which you may or may not ever use again in your life, but the simple fact that while you are “exercising” your mind, it is building new neurological connections in your brain that are literally designed to speed up the transmission of electrical impulses that take place when you are thinking.

Did you know that your brain uses more calories per hour than any other organ in your body? (Now that’s some heavy lifting going on up there!)

If your car is fine tuned, it’s safe to say that your driving experience is smoother and more efficient.

Well it’s not difference when using your brain to build your business. (And if you think about it…..all business building activities take “brainwork”) If you have more Neurons and Dendrites, you are basically just “smarter” than you were before you grew them.

So go out there, get smarter today, so that tomorrow….you won’t be quite as dumb as you are right now! =)

Have a great weekend, I do apologize for the lack of posting lately, but launching my own company is a huge task.

Honey Where Did You Stash All Of Our Usana Skin Care Products At? My Wifes Dastardly Attempt To Steal All Of Our Usana Autoship Order Of Sense’ Skin Care Products.

“HOOOOOOONNNNEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYY”, I shouted from my office into what I thought was the general direction of my Wife. “What is this I’m reading about the Usana Skin Care package that we ordered having 3 stages of products for your face? What’s a hydrating toner?”

Suddenly, my wife’s gorgeous face darted into the doorway, “I don’t know what you’re talking about” she said with a grin……that little smirk that I instantly recognized as her being mischevious and not exactly telling me the truth.

Not enjoying being lied to, this type of behavior usually causes me to get up from behind my desk and various laptops, and start chasing her around the house. She always tricks me and runs around the dining room table where the distance between the wall and the backside of the table makes it very hard for my large frame to move around.

So when the giggling, laughing, and chasing ended up with me gasping for air and her continual amusement at my plight, I said, “No really….I know that the autoship I selected had a lot more skin care products and all you gave me was the Sense facial cleanser. How many bottles of stuff do you have stashed away anyway?”

“MINE” she laughed.

“Oh c’mon…….I’m the guy building the team and I can’t even use the products on my autoship?”

“Yep, my rules….but for your information, there’s a hydrating toner, and then there is an SPF for the morning time and an SPF nighttime.” She disappeared into her bathroom and I could hear rummaging. She returned with multiple bottles and dispensers of Usana Skin Care products and she said, “now I don’t want to overwhelm your poor male brain, but here is the hydrating toner that you apply after you shower and use the cleanser. Then this bottle, the white one here is the Usana SPF facial cream that you put on in the mornings, and this little dark bottle here is the Usana SPF facial cream for nighttime. This will keep your face clean, moisturized and soft and pretty……like mine”

At first I still couldn’t believe that she would stash all of our Usana products. After years of being in the Health and Wellness industry she never tried to steal any of our Juices or Energy drinks. But this………..this was a whole new ballgame. This was Skin Care products from Usana…..and they smell good, they feel good, and they make your skin look amazing. Heck even the shampoo and conditioner are awesome. I used to get dandruff because of my dry scalp and for me my choice of shampoo was Head & Shoulders…..or Head & Shoulders with aloe.

With the Sense’ Usana Shampoo and Conditioner I feel like I have a choice and my hair smells good on top of it.

To be real honest….I can’t believe I’m using three different products on my face…..but all I can say is the oilyness, the dry skin, and the clogged poors…..are all gone…..and even though I consider myself a “manly man”….. I have to boldly admit…..

I’m very happy that my wife is no longer stashing all of our Usana Skin Care products and that she’s actually willing to share with me.

The Great Debate Of Building More Than One MLM Company At The Same Time

On more than one forum lately there are topics about people who build multiple MLM companies, and we’re not talking about those who use “cheapies” or “feeder” programs in order to build their list and then “stair step” them into pricier endeavors.

Heck….I suppose we’re talking about people like me.

It’s no mystery that I’m building both a US based MLM team and an International based MLM team, and it’s also no mystery (or at least I hope it’s not), that I’m not exactly the average bear, because the method of my team building is such that I’ve actually tied both MLM companies into an even larger project which is the company I’m launching around August 1st called Oceanside Network.

But let’s assume that I wasn’t launching my own company, and I wasn’t directly tying all of my businesses and teams together.

Let’s paint the picture that I was just building EIRO and Usana, one company that is US based only, and one company that is International based.

My question is…….why NOT take advantage of ALL of the traffic and ALL of the visitors that my blogs produce? Something like 64% of my daily traffic is from OUTSIDE the United States!

I think too many “egos” out there get really pretentious when we even discuss this topic. The old, “You need to commit to one company and really hammer it home.”

My question is……How many MLM companies suddenly drop the bottom out of their payplans? And yes…I understand…..that if you build your teams correctly they will probably transfer over to you. But transferring a team takes time and during that time…..you aren’t earning an income. (And of course nobody ever gets a 100% complete team transfer, so you take a % hit)

A lot of people claim that it’s simply not possible to build two teams, because you lose “focus”.

My question is…..if we’re using the Internet, and we train our teams over Emails, Conference Calls, Webinars, Phone Calls and Instant Messengers…..does it REALLY matter which company your team member is in as long as you are supporting them to the fullest?

Some claim that “it’s never been done before, and there’s a good reason for that.”

My question is: Why then am I 1 distributor away from making Director at EIRO Research, and why is my Usana team growing by the day? I mean….they said man would never land on the moon or fly either…..

Overall, I feel too many people are afraid to embrace what the Internet is truly offering us in our MLM businesses. Where as in the past you were limited to how many people you could talk to, and your ability to “support” your teams was usually with hotel meetings and monthly conventions, and 1 way phone calls.

Now we have a veritable plethora of “instant” support tools that we can use to contact our entire teams on a daily basis with the push of a button. Now we have the Internet, and SEO and Traffic, and Website Systems that work for us 24/7. Next year will be 2010…..they used to make sci fi movies about that year, and the point is…..this isn’t 1999 anymore. What limited us back then……is now an open door for us.

And while I’m not condoning that everyone should go out immediately and start building a second MLM.

I am arguing that “If you can do it” “if you have the time, and experience in building an online marketing machine”. Then heck…….why not build a Global Team. A team that might be so large, span so many countries that one company simply cannot contain it all.

Dream Big.

And then go out there and “just do it”.

Building EIRO Research & Usana International

I Love It When A Plan Comes Together!

Traffic is increasing on all of my websites and my cost is $0 in advertising. It’s all organic, 90% Google based and it’s free!

Business is great with teams exploding in both EIRO and Usana and of course my own venture which actually ties everything together in one nice giftwrapped present is looking very strong for a launch on August 1st, 2009.

I have to say I could write a hundred articles on the frustrations, stress and times that I “almost quit” regarding my 4 year Internet Marketing career, but this article……….this particular article. Is simply about gratitude.

I believe throughout our lives we really need to stop and smell the roses sometimes. Because we all know that there will never be a permanent time of beauty or grace or blessing, until we “kick off this mortal coil” and end up in Heaven.

And I think sometimes we often neglect to just take a few moments to really appreciate something AS it is happening to us, rather than reflect back and think “oh those were the good times.”

Internet Marketing can be a very complex “animal” and so many people get terrified when they think of it because of all of the “moveable parts” that make obtaining the goal of success seem too distant……too vague.

Recently I’ve been focusing on one major goal and that goal has been simply traffic. Traffic without paying for it to be more precise.

Keeping things simple has really been paying off, and I’ve been teaching this method of traffic to all of my team members.

Educate: Study something about marketing, personal growth, or simply keep up to date on the news in the industry.

Blog: Update your blog with 3-4 articles per week about the above topics of marketing, personal growth or news.

Follow up: Respond to those who contact you asking for more information. Share with them your opportunity, and work with those who are interested and say “how do I join?”

In my last article I posted that the Alexa rank here at brokerjones @ wordpress was just under 200k. Today as I write this article we’re looking at an Alexa rank of 193,757!!! (Our next goal is getting down towards the 150,000 mark….which would mean that traffic wise we would be in the top 150,000 websites in the world for daily/quality traffic)

No payperclick…..not out of pocket cost.

Just keeping it simple stupid.

I love it when a plan comes together!

Under 200,000 On 3 Month Average On Alexa — Broker Jones @ WordPress Breaks A Milestone

Wow.

I’ve been reaching for this goal (Organically) for the last 8 months, and today when I logged in and looked at my Alexa toolbar down in the lower right hand corner of my browser (If you don’t have it installed you really should….it instantly lets you know how much quality traffic a site is getting or not getting. That way if someone calls themselves the “traffic masters” but they have an Alexa raiting of 2.9 MILLION……you know they are full of BS immediately and you don’t have to waste any time……..for the newcomers to the industry = The Higher Your Alexa Ranking…….the worse off you are in traffic. 2.9 million = about 1 hit per day……

When I mentioned organically up above that means I dont have any PPC campaigns. I’m not using any “traffic exchangers” or “rotators”. I have NO outside advertising sources other than blogging, & posting on social forums.

My total advertising cost = $0

Yet this blog is now in the top 198 thousand websites in the world…….for getting traffic.

Just so you know this breaks down to an average of over 80 unique users visiting this blog each and everyday.

Imagine where your business would be. If all you did was blog 3-4 times per week, and you had over 80 unique users checking you out each day?

We’re celebrating tonight at the Jones household. It’s been a long and rewarding path.

Oceanside Network — Launching In July

Blogging Is Like Fishing In The Sea, And Each Post Is Like A Hook In The Water

haha, so I’m feeling a little bit tongue in cheeky today.

Last week I was hanging out with a good friend of mine named Navin (pronounced Nah-veen) and we were on one of our general rambles which seem to happen to us quite often. He’s extremely intelligent and the only friend of mine EVER to beat me at a game of chess. (I suspect he secretly practices on yahoo before we play……that $#$%^^!)

Anyhow I digress.

You know all of the “gurus” out there will tell you things like “the money is in your list” or make sure that you “build your list” or “how to monetize your list”, and while I’m not about to tell you that list building is bad……..I just want to wrap your brain around the concept that a good blog…..is also a LIST.

You see, if your content is good (and I hope that from time to time mine is), your readers either return every so often to read your musings, or they click on the RSS feed button and they are notified everytime you update. So a blog functions almost similar to an email autoresponder in the fact that it allows you to contact interested readers over, and over, and over again, and it establishes you as a consistent authority figure on the subject matter of what you are writing about.

So if the Internet by analogy is like a big sea, then each post you write is like casting another fish hook into the water. Each subject you write about sends keywords out to Google, and allows readers to find you in the search engines, and or notifies your current readers via your RSS feeds that you have “blogged again”.

Your offers, and links to your products and or companies are passive. They are there, time and time again for your readers to either click on……or not click on.

I cannot tell you how many times I’ve ended up on the phone with someone who has said to me something like, “You know Broker I’ve been reading your blog for a year now and really like what you have to say and I’m ready to get serious about building an income for myself from home, how do I join you?”

My blog…..just like your blog………can and does function like a live…..interactive……online List.

So get out there, and cast your hooks into the sea my friends. You never know when you will get a big “bite”. =)

Almost to the rank of Director at EIRO Research!

The Trump Network Gaining Interest In The Online Marketing World. Will Mr. Trump Be Able To Pull Off A Successful Network Marketing Company? What Does Donald Trumps Endorsement Do For The Industry As A Whole?

Instead of “firing people” on TV it appears that Mr. Donald Trump is going full steam ahead in participating in the fastest growing business model in the world known as Network Marketing.

For all of us network marketers in the entire world…..we should be rejoicing.

We’ve made it.

We’re main stream.

No greater business icon short of Bill Gates could be doing this for our great industry. I don’t even care if the Trump Network bombs…….(although I’d be willing to bet you $1 Million Dollars that it does in fact…..not bomb.) Mr. Trump has a pretty well established credibility for business, and I’m guessing that his program will survive and go on to prosper.

Of an almost greater importance is the fact that us bookworms out there, can finally see a great icon such as Trump endorse what he writes about, by actually going out and doing it. Donald Trump and former Author partner Robert Kiyosaki wrote the book “Why We Want You To Be Rich”, and of course Mr. Kiyosaki has written the book “Rich Dad/Poor Dad” and if you do a Youtube search for Kiyosaki MLM you’ll see some videos directly from Robert discussing the reasons why Direct Selling (or MLM…or Network Marketing….all these names are synonymous) is the greatest business model in the world.

Mr. Trump just may have single handedly answered the question for the good of all that is Network Marketing of whether or not……

“This is a pyramid scheme……”

Donald Trump……just put the biggest, fattest seal of ENDORSEMENT ON NETWORK MARKETING, that has ever happened in history.

He wrote the book, “Why We Want You To Be Rich” (I HIGHLY recommend you read it), and now he’s taking the action necessary to help that statement become a reality.

Giant Kudos to you Mr. Donald Trump.

Chris Cucchiara Is Helping People Across The Nation Build Massive Teams In EIRO Research, And His Breakthrough Warm Market Tactics Really Work And Take The Fear Out of Rejection When Approaching Your Sharpest People Who You KNOW will NOT Join Your Opportunity.

The first night I met Chris Cucchiara it was in the downtown lobby of the Fairmont hotel in Dallas, Texas. He looked like a normal guy with the exception that it was obvious that he had been a bodybuilder for a great number of years. I stood in front of him, he recognized me from the Internet communications we had in the past, and then invited me to dinner with Ty Tribble and Bo Short among around 10 other likeminded and successfully driven friends.

We had a wonderful dinner, I ordered a teriyaki rib eye that was to die for, and Ty Tribble and I babbled to each other about blogging, and traffic generation, and training materials. Afterwards, Chris, myself and Dr. Tom Wilson and his wife Pamela retired to a private table for drinks and discussion on EIRO Research, and the state of Network Marketing and the world in general.

I believe we stayed up until around 2am and finally we all retired back to our rooms, after Chris had negotiated with me that I would be awake and in the gym at 7am………I agreed and was excited to train with a guy who used to work out with the holy grail of bodybuilding Arnold Schwarzenegger himself.

Sadly…….I slept through the alarm and didn’t show.

The convention was great, there was tons of great information and excitement about the new All Natural Energy Drink and when it was over we were all off to our separate corners of the nation to build our business teams, excited about rising up a few ranks before our next meeting in October!!

Meanwhile Chris Cucchiara has been flying all across the Nation doing team trainings, helping people get started, and telling them in a real matter of fact, down to earth, get er’ done, type of fashion that is giving people absolutely explosive results in building their teams.

Most recently he has been delivering a powerful message. Mr. Cucchiara has been in the business a long time. Mr. Cucchiara knows what you like and what you hate about this business and he’s not going to regurgitate to you any 1990’s feel good material just so that you keep on your autoship for a few more months.

No…..Chris Cucchiara is a man who has taken action all of his life, and he is a man who has dedicated his life to seeing results.

Right now Chris is just returning from Minnesota where he is teaching new and veteran marketers how to approach their sharpest people by not even “recruting them”.

The pitch is simple:

“Hey, <theirname>, I recently started this home business because I need some extra money, now I know you don’t need any extra money and I’m not wanting to recruit you at all, but do you know like 1 or 2 people who might be interested in checking out an opportunity?”

That’s it.

No rejection from your “sharp person” (who …..just might end up selling themselves on the opportunity you never know), and you get 1-2 leads that they recommend that you can send a quick email to.

With team leaders like Chris Cucchiara working with us. It’s hard not to have a growing organization.

Speaking of which. We are officially 3 new distributors from making Director at EIRO Research.

Mike Dillard’s MLM Traffic 2.0 Course Launches TODAY!

Hey everyone, head on over to my other blog at King Of Internet Marketing and ready my latest article to find out why I am extremely excited about the release of Mike Dillard’s latest training series.

If you have always felt “behind the curve” this is your one time chance to be on the cutting edge of new training and marketing. Sure reading my blogs will help you build a business but you are still getting that information AFTER I’ve already applied it and put it into place.

I do NOT promote very many training materials.

But if you are serious about your home based business.

This is simply one of those products that MUST be a staple in your Library. For those of you who pick this up, I will be doing a “private” follow up training series that will be emailed to you after each of the live tele-classes that Mike does. In these private sessions I’ll be going over what Mike teaches and showing you exactly how I apply it myself.

Don’t Ever Give Up Your Dreams, And More Importantly, Don’t Ever Tell Your Friends Your Dreams!

It was interesting growing up. I always had dreams.

My parents always told me “son you can do everything you put your mind to.” But when I told them about Network Marketing at the age of 18 they said “those things don’t work”.

My best friends to this day, told me as a kid in high school that I would always be skinny and never bench press 300lbs.

So if we love our parents and friends, why are they so negative when it comes to supporting our dreams?

My theory is that people are scared of being “left behind”. It’s not necessarily that they want you to fail or suffer, but it’s that they are terified that you will go out and achieve your dreams, while they will never manifest their own. They don’t want to feel like they “missed out”. And if you rise to your fullest potential, and you succeed in achieving your dreams…..a great majority of people in the world end up feeling “left out” or that they “missed out”….. or in other words…..they choose to feel worse by your success, rather than be inspired by it.

…and this is exactly why you should never give up on your dreams, and more importantly, don’t tell your friends about them…….at least not in the beginning.

I never gave up on mine, and in fact I create new dreams for myself every year. I’m always a “work in progress” and I’m always taking some form of action to better myself and my business, and therefore every single day I view myself as simply getting “closer to my dreams.”

It’s interesting now that I’ve achieved some of my dreams, and I maintain that “unwavering commitment” to the pursuit of my goals………that my friends and family end up asking me how they can do what I do.

Because you see, I just went out and did it.

I learned early on that telling everyone about your plans, instead of just going out there and “getting it done”, was always going to begin with the same old story where people would end up telling me that “I couldn’t do this” or “I couldn’t do that.”

But when I just started taking ACTION. And making visible progress.

Their stories all changed.

Go out there today………………

………….And change some stories.
