Live For Real

Kaye — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 12:12:24 +0000

Be You….Be Real…….

There is value in life that goes beyond the things we work for everyday.

Beyond the rigors of the day-to-day grind
Paying the Bills
Feeding the family
Trying to make ends meet

It is the small “simple” moments that give life greater value

when someone shows a genuine smile

when you see authenticity in a stranger’s eyes

when a friendly handshake guarantees honesty

when you feel love laced with sincerity

when you know the possibility in front of you is true

These moments make life REAL and give it REAL meaning….
in REAL relationships
in REAL families
and even in REAL business

We strive to make this realness the backbone of everything we do. Why not join us in our business as we help people Live For Real.

5 Keys Steps for YOUR Online Success

Kaye — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 00:44:05 +0000

Today we have many challenges in OUR economy. Business owners are faced with the challenge “to adapt…… or get out of business” as the business landscape has changed and is continuing to change at a rapid race !! The future is looking dreadful for some good folks. No longer do you have to be a morbid pessimist to face the prospect of a future that is marked by scarcity. Will I have enough to secure my future? With investments failing, housing prices falling, retirement strategies are pushed out for another 5 years in the hope that things will improve, people are looking for HOPE. Some brave souls refuse to be victims to the circumstances and are looking for solutions. Maybe they can’t solve the economic woes of the world, but they are victors – not victims – and are determined to do what they can to change their life! Within my sphere of influence there has been a huge increase in people establishing businesses and working online. But I also see that the online life of many folks is short-lived. For most people just keeping up with the change can cause your head to spin!

Whether we are in a bricks and mortar business- like retail, service, etc, or home based business (networking or affiliate marketing), or direct sales, we require certain skills and knowledge to embrace these changes. Sometimes it’s easy to become overwhelmed with so much information around. However there is support and help for us to assist us on our journey to discover what is best for US…Jim Rohn said, ” If we want things change, we must change“.

These are five steps that I have worked through to establish my online success.

1. Discover what is your WHY and Passion?

By determining your true intention for yourself or your business this will establish the result firmly in your sight! What do you love to do? What’s your passion? What do you love talking about and not care whether you are paid or not? Understanding these things will determine what you will create online. What passions energize your heart when you pick up the phone to deal with the next client? Never forget that what your heart feels, you communicate. If your heart is energized by genuine interest in your client, they know. How do people pick up whether we are worth listening to? How will they determine whether they will read beyond the headlines of our blog? Fear communicates uncertainty, poor self worth… distrust , greed…..arrogance and self interest. These powerful emotions are communicated, not in the words you speak necessarily, but in the non-verbal, the intonations, the rate and flow of your communication. The same is true in your online presence. Bob Burg & John Mann , in their book ” The Go-Giver” develops this first of five core values: ” The most valuable gift you have is to offer yourself”, sowhat are you offering?

2. Connect with Successful People to Develop Influence

Look to establish or connect to a network of people who are already successful. We call these Social Media Alliances “ tribes” or “communities who add value” . A tribe can be of immense practical value where you can leverage knowledge and skills, and are kept up to speed with changes happening online or in your industry. But I think the greater value is in developing influence. A tribe can create opportunities for accountability and masterminding. Interacting with the tribe is like looking in a mirror to identify the marks of our passion and character. Second core value: ”Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place others’ interests first”. For example with the Empowered Tribe where one of the benefits of the community is Tribe Tuesday where we get together in a small groups to connect and build community by syndicating blogs and supporting each other this is powerful way to assist you move forward.

3. Develop an Online Strategy

Develop a mindset and a strategy not only to create an asset by building a residual income, but leaving a legacy. It’s creating a life of significance. “The Go-Giver” third core value: ” Your income will be determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them”. My screen-saver is a picture of fireworks over Sydney Harbour. Those fireworks create a spectacular display of noise and beauty, but afterwards..all that is left is just a charred tube and a lot of smoke, and even the smoke doesn’t hang around for long…… not unlike some internet marketers I have known.

4. Be Real and Add Value

Understand what you are creating online is all about adding value to whoever you connect with. The proverb, “Give and it shall be GIVEN to you” is demonstrated in the “Go-Giver” statement, ” Your true worth is determined but how much more you give in value than you take in payment”.

5. Be Abundant

Develop a mindset of abundance that affects every action and attitude. If your security and worth are determined by money……how much is enough to put your security beyond doubt? Abundance is about more than tangible assets. Life is about complementing ( collaboration) not competition. “The Go Giver’s” last core value sums it up ” The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving”

Building an online presence is a microcosm of your life journey. You will never rise higher than your character. So find your niche with all the challenges. Take the next step of the journey. Be stretched and by that means GROW, oh, and by the way….bloom where you’re planted. Its an exciting time to be online and be connected to amazing group of people who have an abundant mindset to share and assist you succeed. Thanks to all my mentors, Scott Scales, Kary Rogney, Ken Pickard, Bob Burg Doug Firebaugh Without your input, I wouldn’t be the person I am, and I wouldn’t have the online presence I have.

5 Ingredients to Ensure an Explosive Mastermind Group!

What are the Benefits and the Real Value of belonging to a Mastermind Group?

· Encouragement, confidence, develop new skill sets, knowledge, poise

· Growth in business and personal life

· Develop an immediate and priceless support network

· A sense of community – synergy – because you are not alone!

· Sense of achievement and accomplishment

· Develop a true “go-giver” spirit

· Develop a true connectedness with peers

· Fun

· Accountability

· Friendships

· Better information to make decisions

· Connection with the group

Who Maybe Interested in Establishing a Mastermind Group?

People with similar interest ie: such as a group for businessmen, women in business, online marketers, financiers, self-employed people, spiritual thinkers, or specific people in companies or industries.

· People with similar abilities, talents and/or achievement level

· People with the aspiration and motivation to achieve great things

· People who want a supportive team of Mastermind partners

· People who want to attain or surpass their goals

· People who are passionate about their life and work

· People with a real go-giver attitude

How Does a Mastermind Group Work?

Mastermind Groups can meet in person, on the telephone, Skype, or web conferencing (coming). Each group determines how often they meet at the commencement of the group…

Being apart of a Mastermind group, there will a commitment that is required. So its suggested when looking for people its essential to have highly-motivated people who are willing to be committed, ask for and to give assistance and support ,who are bring real value to the group..

Some guidelines to start a Mastermind Group?

1. What is your purpose as a mastermind Group?

2. Who is the leader?

3. Make a decision as to the number of people in your group ( 5-8 is suggested)

4. Have a guideline for new participants in your group?

Its like a screening process. Depending on the style and makeup of your group this is a list of questions to consider asking new participants:

* Do you have a personal or business mission or vision statement?

* What are your five-year goals?

* Where will you find time to participate in the Mastermind Group?

* What is your commitment to moving forward in your business and personal life?

* Why should you be chosen to participate in this group?

5. It’s important to have commitment/agreement from all members as any lack of harmony will bring down the synergy and energy level of the group. If there is a member not meeting the initial agreement that was made, it is important to remove them from the group.

It also gives you everything you need to think where you’ve never let yourself think before, in regard to what you really want in your heart of hearts.

Establishing true connection will transform your MasterMind group and to become cohesive, powerful and S Y N E R G I S T I C.

People tend to:

- only set goals that they believe are possible, rather than what they really want,

-’not’ think in terms of setting goals that will influence or affect difficult people or situations in their lives,

- fight for limitation, and get it,

- write generalized, discombobulated, boring, and therefore lifeless goals,

- think alone and therefore have repetitive, conditioned fear-based thinking of lack and limitation,

- think that they have to do it all alone,

- think it’s about superior will power, competition, greed,

- think success is about trying harder at what has already not worked for them. That if they had more will power, more self-discipline, if they weren’t procrastinators, if they were more responsible, etc., etc., etc.

The Fact Is: People Need People to Make Stuff Happen!

Walt Disney said, “You can dream, create, design and build the most wonderful place in the World …but it requires people to make the dream a reality.”

May this post give you inspiration to start your own Mastermind Group. Its true THAT ” Two Heads are Better One”

Two Heads Are Better Than One

Kaye — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 11:25:36 +0000

Two Heads Are Better Than One! PART 1

Its often said that “two heads are better than one”! Over the past month as a part of the empowered tribe we have formed mastermind groups. I am new to masterminding too, so let’s explore together in Part one!! So exactly what is this process of masterminding?Napoleon Hill said in his book “ Think and Grow Rich” “The coordination of knowledge and effort of two or more people, who work toward a definite purpose, in the spirit of harmony.” and he continues ” No two minds ever come together without thereby creating a third,invisible intangible force, which may be likened to a third mind.”

Have you ever been part of a group or just sitting talking with someone and all these ideas flow? Suggestions and events are created. Business ideas are created; all because of the coming together of two minds. Ideas are created that would never have been created. Truly powerful.

What is a Mastermind Group?

“It’s a group of people who come together for a purpose where the intention is to further a common, predefined purpose by meeting as a group”, however it’s where everyone’s participation is the key” It can be explained also as a group of individuals who make up your immediate personal and professional ‘circle of advisors and influencers‘ who assist in the achievement of visions and goals.

The mastermind group needs a leader, or more correctly, a facilitator, which allows and gives structure to the group. How often the group meets is usually at the discretion of the creator and participants of the group.

Generally the purpose is that each person will want to develop and grow their business.

The benefits are exciting as you connect with like minded people and work toward the same goals. Brainstorming, sharing tips, and providing feedback creates real synergy because of the accountability structures set up to keep you focused. It also creates community by having supportive peers where you share experiences, knowledge, insights,strategies, tools, and tips to grow the business potential of every participant.

Participating in these mastermind groups allows others to see the greatness in you and the real value you add to the community as you open hearts and minds and share your dreams and goals along with your struggles and expectations.

Having a Mastermind Group is just like having your own board of directors!!!

Imagine a mastermind group….eight individuals……each with twenty years of experience, knowledge, wisdom, and passion…..a brain-bank-a vault -of one hundred and sixty years of pure gold, and those eight hold the keys to unlock those riches with their individual questions, insights and passionate desire to know the way ahead.

Mastermind Groups create win-win solutions for all participants. New friendships develop and everyone grows because of the support and encouragement of the Group. If you want to start your own mastermind group, you can. Just do it!! Check out Part 2 where I explore some basic questions you may have about masterminding especially if you are interested in setting up a group.This truly is a powerful tool that many do not explore or completely understand.

Please share your thoughts how Masterminding has impacted your life or have you ever considered it as an option.

Make it a terrific day !

Funky New Tool For Real Connectedness!!

Kaye — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 04:01:37 +0000

Thank you for taking the time to stop to read my new blog post. I appreciate all my family, friends, my empowered tribe, mastermind group, online marketers, and people just curious to check out what this blog really is all about !!! Please take time to share your thoughts in response.

Over the past few weeks I have been reading Everyone Communicates Few Connect by John C Maxwell. Every page has so many gems to explore. I resonate with the author. John says “If you want to succeed you must learn how to connect with people, and while it may seem like some are born with it, the fact is anyone can learn how to make every communication an opportunity for a powerful connection”.

John explores and shares five principles and five practices to develop the crucial skill of connecting

1. Finding a common ground

2. Keeping your communication simple

3. Capturing people’s interest

4. Inspiring people

5. Staying authentic in all your relationships

ONLY ONE THING STANDS BETWEEN YOU AND SUCCESS…..
IT ISNT EXPERIENCE……IT ISNT TALENT

…Its the ability to connect with others is a major determining factor in reaching your full potential. It’s no secret! Connecting is a skill you can learn and apply in your personal professional and family relationships and you can start now.”

These principles are foundational to our success and when my friend Scott Scales shared a new tool with me a few weeks ago there was major convergence happening because it brought the power of connection to another level .

WOW this is really exciting as this new social media video platform Talk Fusion is being launched globally June 21st 2010. As a friend Glyna Humm stated in her blog post “ It’s a GAME CHANGER” . This is all about connecting with people in a way that nothing else can.

Can you imagine a salesman trying to sell TV’s that show only the subtitling and not the picture…ludicrous! So why would we ever imagine that text emails are the standard for communication?

The possibilities are endless as this innovativ e technology changes the way in which we connect with our families, friends, clients, business associates and teams, peers.

Our online culture is suffering from email-overwhelm. However those who take the time to really connect with you in some unique way, whether face-to-face, phone, mail, cards, email, photos, Skype, social media and video will never be forgotten, even if you lose contact. You will never forget how they made you feel !!

These are the people you share with, laugh with, listen to, support, celebrate together, do business with, and even joint venture with. Bob Burg said it in The Go-Giver, “ All things being equal people will do business with, refer business to , people they know, like and trust”. The power of the connection you have with people opens the door to do business, whether business of the heart, or market-place business.

Take some time to have a look at Talk Fusion. It maybe serendipity (finding something you weren’t even aware you were looking for) to take your marketing to the next level, or to support you to reconnect with your family or team.

My friend Scott Scales has detailed how you can implement this into your social media marketing strategy. Also Chris McCargar shared how his 84 year-old dad got excited, as he saw even he could send a video birthday greeting to his grand-daughter.

So no matter who you are, the power of video is a powerful tool to really connect and keep connected with people.

Why does the Empowered Tribe Culture ROCK? IS IT WORTH PROTECTING???

Kaye — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 02:47:50 +0000

Why does the Empowered Tribe Culture ROCK? IS IT WORTH PROTECTING???

The Empowered tribe is “the place to be”. It has been created by peers as a powerful business model for our modern online businesses. Being connected as part of the Empowered Tribe has been a wonderful as we have experienced a culture that is quite unique.

It’s a TRIBAL culture where it’s about being connected, with care on every level, and through this connection engaging support with like-minded marketers where many benefits are received. Its a real “Go- Giver” Culture!!! Personally what has left a lasting impression is that the community/tribe culture its honoring, encouraging and uplifting, serving, with a generous spirit. It’s about building and adding value into people’s lives.

Some people find it hard to understand what all the buzz is being apart of the tribe! The syndication and masterminding together build real synergy and team work. This truly is a “Go-Giver” Culture. Lets explore what is this culture and is it worth protecting

What is a Go-Giver culture?

1. The Law of Value
Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you give in payment.
2 The Law of Compensation
Your Income will be determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them.
3 The Law of Influence
Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place others’ interests first
4. The law of Authenticity
The most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself.
5. The Law of Receptivity
The Key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving.

Read Bob Burgs book ” The Go-Giver” &” The Go-Giver Sells ” for an indepth discovery of these principles.

These five principles are foundational to the Empowered Tribe’s culture. As the tribe has shown the power of a new strategic way to promote each other and connect on Social Media that creates a buzz around our content and blogs called “Syndication”. The tribe’s goal is to show marketers on Social Media how the new professional marketers are doing business and how they can benefit being apart of this culture.

Is This Culture worth protecting? What do you think as a Tribe member?

In the community it’s been wonderful to build relationships with people around the world from all different cultures, background, and businesses. It’s been an honor and privilege to be mentored and learning from everyone within the Empowered Tribe.

However I don’t know about you and maybe its only me who is a little concerned when I see behavior from some bloggers who use blogs as a platform and a sounding board for their pet peeve, also denigrating anything that is new and not completely understood !!!

Is value being added to people’s lives? Are people empowered and encouraged to make choices that are best for them? Does this epitomize the “Go-Giver Culture/community”?

SO IS THIS CULTURE WORTH PROTECTING???

Please share you thoughts as I believe it’s VERY important to protect the Empowered Tribe culture that has been created by our leaders and fellow tribe members for our future tribe members. “ The GO-GIVER Culture” is a must for us to adopt.It doesn’t make us doormats or robots but empowers us to make the real difference to the online world and to our networks.
There are always people who are unable to see or comprehend that those five “ Go Giver” laws encompass so much about our attitudes our influence, the value we add, our abundance our integrity, and being open to receive..

Thank you to Kary Rogney, Ken Pickard, Nick Logan Jon Alfredsson and Michael Feil for showing the way and establishing the Empowered Tribe and by protecting the culture is a way of honoring what you have created, also honoring everyone in the community. .

Please share your thoughts also steps you believe we can adopt to protect the culture of the tribe.

Make it a brilliant day
