Tweety bird

Okay, so I'll admit it. I wasn't the first to jump on this Twitter Bandwagon. I just didn't understand the point of it. C'mon... what can someone possibly say in just 140 characters?

Being on a webinar last night with two amazing internet marketers with the Online MLM Mastermind system (http://mastermind.thecardteacher.com) gave me a whole new vision for the purpose of what twitter is all about.

Twitter itself is a microblog. I consider is a condensed personal website. A place for me to share my thoughts, feelings, recommendations and insights, while connecting with like minded individuals.

In a few minutes per day, you can amass hundreds if not thousands of followers in a matter of weeks. In fact, I've only been actively using twitter for one month, and I already have 2000 followers! Can you believe that?

But like anything I look for tools.

Tools that can help us systematize, automate, customize... the whole works!

I found some great tools that I wanted to share with you today with how to implement twitter in your day-to-day life, without becoming a nusance or a hassle.



==============================================================
Terrific Twitter Tool #1 - TweetDeck
http://www.tweetdeck.com
==============================================================

I had no idea HOW to navigate twitter or retweet or DM or whatchamacallit til I downloaded TweetDeck. It's an application you can have going on in the background of your computer that puts your twitter account into easy to read columns. Column one is your following's tweets. Column two is incoming messages/retweets. Column three is private direct messages (or DM's).

You can also tweet directly from TweetDeck, customize with beautiful colors, and interlink with Facebook status updates.


















==============================================================
Terrific Twitter Tool #2 - TweetLater
http://www.tweetlater.com
==============================================================

Ahhh...the productivity tool for busy tweeple.

~ Schedule tweets for a specific day and time. "Set it and forget it!"
~ Track keywords in tweets
~ Automate DM's to new followers of yours
~ Unfollow those who unfollow you - automatically!
~ Purge your DM inbox to keep it tidy

... and so much more!

I love TweetLater because I am able to schedule my set tweets for the day. These include specific quotes, blogs, articles, Bible verses that I want to share. Systematically and consistently each day. Then, throughout the day and week, I can go in my twitter and add random tweets and talk to people... but I'm not being sporadic.

I find that consistency/practicability works best with Social Media.



==============================================================
Terrific Twitter Tool #3 - BubbleTweet
http://www.bubbletweet.com
==============================================================

You just have to see this. Check out my friend Kary making a BubbleTweet.

==============================================================
Terrific Twitter Tools #4 - Custom Twitter Backgrounds
http://www.mytweetspace.com
http://www.twitterimage.com
http://www.twitwall.com
http://www.twitterpatterns.com
http://www.colourlovers.com
==============================================================

I read it best: "Generic is only good for prescriptions!"

Twitter currently offers 12 stock backgrounds along with pleasing preset colors for the elements on the page. You can also modify the colors of the overall background, text, links, sidebar background and the sidebar border.

The first thing any twitter user should do is CHANGE the generic background, unless you don’t like standing out from the crowd, in which case you can stop reading now.

Switching backgrounds and changing the color palette of your Twitter page is easy to do. Simply select "Settings" in the top row of links on your Twitter page, click on the "Design" tab and then either select a "theme" or click on "Change background image" or "Change design colors" and get creative.

Don’t worry about goofing anything up. Any changes you make will not be visible to anyone but you until you click "save".

It doesn't matter what kind of background you upload or create for your twitter page, just make it about you!

==============================================================
Terrific Twitter Tool #5: Twitter Friend Adder
http://twitteradder.thecardteacher.com
==============================================================

Hey, in the begining, you probably can do this manually. But the best way that I've grown my twitter following by 2000 people in about 30 days was by using Twitter Friend Adder.

It's $50, one time, can you can use the software for life! Add 90-110 friends (ie: you follow them) per day. Etiquette with twitter is that you follow back. So naturally, this is going to grow your follower base!

But remember, people won't follow for long if:

A) You haven't uploaded a picture of yourself and customized your page (see Tool #4)
B) You aren't actively communicating with anyone (I have about 30 people I talk to weekly)
C) You have WAY more following than followers. So try to keep it even alright?



That's it for Twitter help today! Make sure to follow me:

===> P.S. These are two of the coolest ninja lead getting
secrets on the planet that I BET you don't know... but you'll see ...

Create 'em, Make 'em, Formulate 'em...

Don't buy 'em!!

"So I got started in my network marketing business. Now what?!"

(in unison) "Well... you call this lead vendor and buy some dirt cheap, aged, called-to-death leads. You know, the loons, the goons, the wimps and loser leads!"

Sounds appetizing right?

(blegh!) SPARE ME!

My biggest piece of advice? Create your own leads!

Sounds difficult? Not at all!

So why aren't more networkers making their own leads? Generating their own highly qualified prospects?

They over complicate the process.

They think that have nothing to bring to the marketplace. No value to offer anyone.

They think to contemplate to reevaluate to consider.

Their ego is too big to create a fun video online. (like lip synching to a famous 80's song while dancing with random office objects http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rATyar221P0)

They procrastinate and make excuses.

How do I know? I used to do ALL of that. I came up with every reason not to take action in what I KNEW in my heart would be successful. Mostly because I was brainwashed by the "right way" (gag me) to build a network marketing model.

You weigh the options?

Dial for dollars. Spend thousands on the "I don't have the money's" "I'm on SSI and Disability" ..."Is this a PYRAMID?!"

or...

"Hi, I've seen you on YouTube, I've been following you and I know everything about your company, I just need your website to sign up."

(:

It's happening. And it can happen to you?

==> "Generate 50+ highly qualified, highly motivated leads every week, calling you, wanting you, excited to go to work for you. Your wish is my command! http://mastermind.TheCardTeacher.com - $1 for one week get a sneak peak into the system that's BLOWN up my business and increased my income by $2,000/month!"

The Power of Options

Hey you! It's been a while, I'm sure you missed my daily emails. Sorry that I took a week hiatus - but I have had so much going on. But what is new with you? Did you have a good Memorial Day weekend? Get to visit any family or friends?

Josh and I went to San Diego for the weekend and had the best time ever. We stayed a gorgeous little Hawaiian-themed resort called the Kona Kai in Shelter Island, visited the Zoo & Wildlife Animal Parks, ate at famous Peohe's in Coronado and spent the evening with some of the top internet marketers on the planet (Jonathan Budd, Katie Freiling, just to name a few...)

Today I want to talk to you about the power of Options.

Now you're probably wondering, what does Rachel mean by Options? And how can that be powerful?

There is a lifestyle we speak of so much in Network Marketing. The lifestyle of Beach Money (which I got to experience this weekend, being at the beach but making money)...

But more importantly, it's what that money can bring you...

And it brings you OPTIONS.

You now have the option to say how you want to spend your time.

Where you want to spend it. Do you want to spend it on the beach (yes please!), in the mountains, in the forrest, in the jungle, in the city?

Do you want to spend it with friends? Family? Meeting new people all over the world? Business associates and colleagues?

Do you want to spend your money or invest it?

Now that you have a residual income, do you want to start other ventures?

One of the greatest assets Network Marketing has brought me is the option and the ability to create other streams of income.

Strange huh?

NOBODY EVER TALKS ABOUT THAT.

But it's true. Say you make $5,000/month residual in a network marketing business.

You can continue growing that business full or part-time, but also take the profits in that business to invest in other ventures.

For instance, you may or may not know that I breed English Bulldogs.

http://www.ChandlerBulldogs.com

They are my passion, I love the breed and am 100% committed to improving it. When I worked in Corporate America, working 55-60 hours per week, I didn't have the opportunity to even OWN A DOG, let alone breed them.

Breeding bulldogs takes 24/hour care for almost 5-6 weeks. And fulltime care until they go home.

Network marketing is FLEXIBLE and gives you those options. Where do you want to spend your time?

I read in a Real Estate Mag the other day that most Americans have lost 1/2 of their net worth in the past 18 months. Under these circumstances you have 2 choices:

1. You can lower your standards and cut back your dreams and lifestyle

2. You can redirect your efforts and rebuild your net worth

Depending on how much 'net worth' you had, 1/2 of it may be $25,000, $50,000 or $100,000. Consider SendOutCards as a way to quickly recover what's been lost AND put together a residual income plan that will protect you in the future. Network Marketing is the perfect vehicle to do this because it doesn't take much money to start and run a business.

Plus, after building it up, it will leave you incredibly opportunities to grow from there. The possibilities are endless:

Go to: http://soc.thecardteacher.com
and take a look at the video by pressing: PLAY

It's 10 minutes long and will show you EXACTLY how I have built up a fantastic fulltime income in just 2.5 years that is allowing me to live my dreams!

Social Media Making Your Feel Unsocial?

There is no doubt in my mind that Social Media (for most) can be exhausting. You have Facebook, YouTube, Myspace, Tweeter - no wait... Twitter, Linkedin, Digg, Squidoo, Friendster, Ning, Bacon Lettuce Cheese Special Sauce On a Seasame Seed bun! ... wait

While you're learning to tweet with your Tweeples and trying to decipher the hottest new techspeak - ("What's a vlog?!") You're already... passe.

Here's a few pointers on SIMPLIFYING your Social Media Routine:

1. Use Tools To Save You Time
There are programs out there to save you time and energy in chatting with people and adding friends to your social media pages. These programs like TweetDeck, TwitterFriend Adder, TubeBlaster Pro - are Godsends for me! I don't have time to sit and add a new friend every 10 minutes ...by Tubeblaster does it for me.
And TweetDeck? It manages all of my status updates, @replies, and DM's for Twitter.

2. Focus On High-Impact Messages
Keep your messages concise and only utilize high-impact content. Post news related to your industry... share useful links... post things that are funny and inspirational, with intriguing inside information about your business.
This will reduce your TOTAL communication and make you much more appreciate by your following. Sending out random, useless information will be construed as spam and downright annoying.

3. Don't Read Everything - Just Scan
Scan through status updates, videos, and posts ...zeroing in on things that are important to you or that you'd like to give feedback on.

4. Pick a Few - Discard The Rest
Unless you are a full time Social Media marketer, you probably don't have time to spend all day on every major SM site. So pick a few that offer the most value to you and discard the rest. For me, it's YouTube, Twitter and Facebook. Maybe your more of a Myspace person? That's cool... Your choices will be different. But in the end, be selective and guard your time wisely.

5. Manage Your Time Wisely
Schedule Social Media into your day planner. Got 10 minutes every morning? Or how about a half hour M-W-F? But be sure to have boundaries — the rest of your life should be held sacred too.

Commitment

Or are you just messing around?

Mario Andretti said it perfectly:

”Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek.”

Most people go through life being committed to their job, their spouse, their family and everyone else's expectations - yet somehow never to ourselves.

I made a video about Commitment yesterday...



True commitment begins with being committed to SELF. Without self-commitment we are living in the world of hoping, wishing, pining, wanting, yearning.

The World of Wishing lacks clarity and focus. It often paints the picture of an illusion, living someone else's dream so that you do not have to take the responsibility of committing to oneself.

Ugh, "responsibility" - just sounds painful doesn't it? We take responsibility for others so easily, but we fail to take our own destiny in business with such gravity.

Often not making a commitment is because in the beginning it's common to feel overwhelmed in business.

There is so much to learn. The best way I have found to deal with this feeling, is to set aside a certain amount of time daily to devote to your new business.

You will have to decide how much time you can budget. But, make a commitment and stick to it. If you will spend a set amount of time working at your new business EVERY day, the results of those efforts will add up very quickly.

It's like the old saying, "The best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time. Divide your tasks up into small chucks and do them one at a time. Before you know it, you will have accomplished a great deal.

Just make a commitment and hold yourself accountable If you will do that much, everything will eventually fall into place. Before you know it, you will be earning a steady income as an internet Network Marketer.

Watch the short video I made for more insight...

The Power of Passion & Enthusiasm

How are you? Hope all is well. I was talking with a friend on Monday morning about the keys to success in business. We got on the discussion of several topics, two of them I'm going to discuss in this email.

I also made a quick video about it:
CLICK HERE TO WATCH ==> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrMzT029yTQ

The first thing I want to discuss is PASSION.

According to the Small Business Association, if you start a business today, you have only about a 44% chance of being here two years from now.

When you are CHOOSING to start a business, you'll acheive great success (and satisfaction) if you LOVE what you do.

Consider David Kinch. Kinch is the owner and chef behind the Los Gatos, Calif., restaurant Manresa, one of the top 50 restaurants in the world according to Restaurant Magazine.

In a recent interview with the San Jose Mercury News, Kinch recalled how he started working in a New Orleans restaurant at the age of 15.

"From the first day, I knew I loved it and I didn't ever want to leave it," Kinch was quoted as saying.

What about you? What passion are you bringing to the table?

Could you use a shot to the arm (or toosh for that matter) ...a little more pep in your step?

Passion is what drives you.
Passion is what keeps you going on the tough days.
(WARNING WARNING, there ARE tough days ahead)
Passion is what keeps you from quitting.
Passion is what makes your prospect say "Yes" even if they don't understand.
Passion is infectious.

We could all use a little more passion in what we do.

And you HATE what you do. Stop doing it.

I repeat, STOP DOING WHAT YOU HATE.

My husband's friend John told me (after hearing me say that) ..."Oh Rachel, that's easier said than done."

Really?

"John, you hate what you do. What would you LOVE to do?"

He answered, going on a rabbit trail of owning his OWN business in real estate inspections.

He lit up. Like a FIRECRACKER. Get someone PASSIONATE about what they WANT - and if they don't have it - they WILL make a change to get to their desired end result.

...Secondly, I want to talk about EXCELLENCE.

Look around you. Is it just me or do you see a lack of excellence in our society today?

This is why my husband and I love the Olympic Games so much.

It's EXCELLENCE in MOTION.

My friend Kim-Marie the CEO of www.Letip.com - a premier educational networking organization says its "Performing above and beyond normal expectations" (while adhering to the highest standards)

Here are some additional quotes on Excellence, that serve it well:

"Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well."
– John W. Gardner

"Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit."
– Aristotle

How to Avoid Swine Flu

Sometimes we cannot take life or business or even the news too seriously. While I don't want to make light over the people that have perrished from this "pandemic"

I think a smile, a laugh, a hearty giggle is medicine to the soul.

We've only got one shot. One life. One chance to make it worth it.

This life is too short to hate what you do.

I LOVE what I do. I love changing lives one card at a time. I love that I get paid today for the seeds I planted months ago.

I love seeing my team succeed.

I love seeing their world's change.

One chance, one shot. One life.

Celebrating Mom

I was always a card person. Every month you'd see me strolling into CVS or Walgreen's and meandering through the greeting card aisles finding the perfect set of cards to send out. I think I spent on average $40-50/month for about 10 cards.

I don't know who taught it to me, but I began sending cards and letters at an early age. I remember being "pen pals" with my cousin Erin in Iowa (I was in Wisconsin) and becoming a prolific note-writer.

I looked forward to holidays. Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, St. Patricks Day. And my favorites - Father's Day and Mother's Day.

See I grew up with two sets of parents.

Some people look at that as a challenge - I viewed as being doubly blessed. Twice as many mom's....twice as many dad's. All loving me unconditionally (not to mention twice as many presents for birthdays and Christmas).

But every Mother's Day and Father's Day I'd find the best card to send each parent.

Mother's Day is this Sunday and it's not too late to show your appreciation for your mom. Or any mom that you know.

How about the teacher for your kids? She's kind of a mom, isn't she? What about some of the mom's at your church - they could use some appreciation and celebration couldn't they? Or even your daughter who is a mom for the very first time this year.

Celebrate Life Now. That is what my business has taught me.

Even greater than I ever understood it before.

I challenge you to make a list of 10 mom's that you know right now and send them a card today. It's not too late from them to get it on time for Sunday.

Boundaries

Hurdles. Roadblocks. Detours. Red tape. Boundaries. Barriers. Whatever you want to call them we are bound to face them in business.

It's our duty, our mission to break THROUGH them.

Sometimes the roadblocks come in the form of a disapproving spouse. Sometimes they come in the form of long hours at your fulltime job. Sometimes a nagging health problem that leads you too fatigued to work your business.

Sometimes even a hurdle placed in front of you by really silly compliance charges via your Network Marketing company. (:

I see these detours, this red tape as my chance. My opportunity to rise above, continue to go higher and higher!

Nobody said this business was EASY! But don't ask for life to be EASY, ask for it to be WORTH IT.

The lesson today that I learned when I hit this certain barrier, was that it's always important to have many hooks in the water, [[firstname]]. MANY irons in the fire!

Imagine if you were only building your business due to cold calling and you got hung up on a nagging case of laryngitis. Ugh! Devistating to your prospecting (and to your wallet). But if you had been smart...

The same scenario, but you are also generating leads online, gathering referrals from your current customers, doing email marketing. See how much LESS inconvenient no voice would be?

You've heard the term of "Iron sharpens iron."

Whatever we don't allow to destroy us, will make us better. Strong. Sharper. Faster. More intuitive. More creative. More tactile and precise.

It's our job to treat these boundaries as what they are. And move beyond them. To not let them hang us up to dry! To not let them get us down, make us frusterated (for too long at least), and make us quit.

Don't stop three feet from gold just because you're tired or your Daddy says "No, you've gone to far!"

One of the most causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by a temporary defeat.

Let me tell you a story:

In the "Gold Fever" days someone from the Darby family in the US went west to dig for gold. He went there with pick and shovel. The going was hard, but his lust for gold was definite.

After weeks of labor, he was rewarded by the discovery of a shining ore. But he needed machinery to bring the ore to the surface.

So quietly he covered up the mine, retraced his footsteps to his home in Maryland. He told his relatives and some neighbors. They got together money for that machinery, had it shipped and he went with his nephew back to the mine.

They mined the first car and had it shipped to a smelter. The returns proved that they found one of the richest mines in Colorado.

A few more cars of that would clear all the debts he had. Then would come the big killing in profits. Down went the drills. Up went the hope.

But something happened. The vein of gold ore disappeared. They had come to the end of the rainbow, and the pot of gold was no longer there.They drilled on desperately trying to pick up the vein again. All to no avail.

Finally they decided to QUIT.

Here comes the important part.

They sold the machinery to a junk man for a few hundred dollars and took the train back home.

Some junk men are dumb but NOT THIS ONE.

He called in a mining engineer to look at the mine and do a little calculating. The engineer advised that the project had failed because the owners were not familiar with "Fault Lines". His calculations showed that the vein would be found "JUST THREE FEET FROM THE DARBYS HAD STOPPED DRILLING" and that EXACTLY where it was found!

The "junk" man took millions of dollars in ore from the mine, because he knew enough to seek expert council before giving up.

Now let us think of this story.

If you ask any self-made business owner he'll tell you that he had his success just after his biggest failure, just because he kept focusing on his desire and burned all the bridges behind him to have just only one way.

"I wanna do this. I don't know how I'm gonna do it. I JUST know I'M GONNA DO IT". That was one of the most sayings you may hear from successful people.
And you should use this saying in your life.
