The Guru Inside YOU! Life is always happening to you, and there is a force inside of you that can make amazing changes in minutes. You read correctly, in minutes. The problem for many people is they have no where to turn for direction without a coach telling them what to do, and that is perfectly fine. Now, let’s get one thing out of the way.
I take it that it’s only been a few hours, if that perhaps, that you even looked into a mirror and saw that Guru that is YOU. Sounds hard to believe, huh?
You are mostly accountable for everything that has happened to yourself in your life, up to now. You cannot erase your past, however, you can design a better future. How you perfect your self- influence will direct your mind on what becomes valuable to you. Your past is a map of lessons learned good or bad and it will assist to guide you on what to do moving forward. Did anything in your past enlighten any of your future path? Decisions, are now going to shape your destiny. Be willing to put yourself in a perpetual level of being uncomfortable. Nothing ever worthwhile came from a comfort zone. Do not let the past set the path for your future, if it is not a favorable one.
Do not let the “BUT” stop you from achieving your greatness. That word will attach limitations to your mind, however, you are here to stand out and be active force within your mindset. You have no limitations, so have that no limit mindset become part of YOU.
Because intent, is a universal force that exists and it guides you on the path of attaining what you set yourself out to do. Of course you’ve heard of phrases like… nothing ventured nothing gained. Don’t become one of those many that live by paralysis of analysis, just do what you set your heart out to do. Just as a butterfly blossoms through a cocoon, you will learn to fly as well. Discover what your true mission and overall purpose in life will be, since our subconscious mind does not accept or even acknowledge any limitations, and it believes everything that you tell it.
Remember, if you believe in everything that you doing, then so will others. The more faith that you show and others then the more possibilities that you will have towards taking that vision and making it a reality. I am all about passion and everything that I do in my personal life and one the things that I hope for you, is that you are as well. When you do all things from the heart and with passion, that’s when the magic will start to happen for yourself. I guarantee it. This will become an expression of your inner being, and you should cherish it with all your spirit. There is a guru inside of you just waiting to come out, and you must truly believe that for yourself. A diamond in the rough, so get ready to shine. Live your life on purpose. Having that sense of purpose in your life is the most important element of personal growth while becoming a fully functioning person.
Your perseverance and persistence in times of any failures, obstacles that you will face, will make or break you depending on your outlook towards it. I truly believe that you have inside of you, what it takes to get that priceless self esteem to win the race. Have faith, it is the power to go after what you want. Belief creates action, and that is the fuel that will take you to the top. In coaching people to achieve their goals, I find that most people do not specifically define what it is they want. It is a common thread among people who have goals but fail to manifest them. If you will make the emotional decision that must be reinforced over & over again. Then the decisions will become a commitment. You must train yourself to make this behavioral change, then it will become a habit and this conditioning will make you a success that you have desired to be. If you cannot grow, than you cannot be happy and have the life that you never knew existed. Remember, you will never discover your greatness in your comfort zone.

Master The Habit Named, Certainty. The #1 thing that keeps people from getting what they want is that they are sabotaging themselves. Everything we are doing in our lives is because we are doing things to avoid pain more than gain pleasure. I need to remind those out there that having certainty to move forward toward building that road they are looking for that will take them to their dream lifestyle. There is a direct connection mentally to how quickly take action on an idea and likely it is that you never take any action at all. You must make it a habit to take action on a new idea.
80% of success is logical and the other 20% is technical.
Learn what your recipe for mental success for yourself. The cause and effect habit is going to take shape in your attitude mentally towards everything you do. Give it your all when you are going for what you want to get out of life with certainty, and it will give the best back to you. I always recommend also, to learn from others that you admire that has the life you may want and emulate them. There will then be a spark that lights up inside you that will allow you to shine in more ways than you can imagine possible. You have to set yourself up to the process to win the game. Having meaning in your life is something that you will determine what shapes and control your life. It will assist in shaping your destiny and will expand in your greatness, when you challenge it.
Focus on what’s guiding you; your past, or a sense of purpose?
If you get enough emotional certainty built up in your mind, you will be on the right track to give your all and apply all that is inside you and let it shine for the world to see. Do not take any shortcuts in going for your dreams, no short term fixes here. You want to leave that legacy based on what you produce in your actions. What you focus on you are going to feel, this will catapult your daily actions, this will make a profound change in your life. There are certain habits and patterns in our lives that make everything that we do a priority, and then it also shows how people put things off. Many people generally will rationalize why they’re doing it and that also leads to why people procrastinate. Perhaps the most wonderful result of developing high levels of self-confidence is the positive impact that your personality will have on your relationships. We all have the same human needs, and our nervous system works the same way.
You need to get the certainty to make your mind do the things you are asking it to do.
Again please remember, 80% of your success will be due to your psychology, so make sure you get the skills to get the particulars of your target goals. Until now, are you satisfied with who you have become? Well, perhaps you need to stop selling yourself on the story you are pounding into your head, about who you are and why you have or even do not have the things you want in life. Do not let the world change your focus at any time, because it wants you to remain the same.
Create your identity and transform yourself with daily, weekly, monthly rituals and build on those habits. There are intellectual factors that you must learn to develop within your self consciousness. Any positive vibrations that you have on a conscious level is the feeling you must discover during your paradigm shift. You can change your paradigm, however, it does take conscious awareness. Your desire will let all your positive mental energy flow. Most of your behavior is habitual, so make sure you have solid life altering habits, this will help you take the proper perception towards change. Isolate what you think about and want in your life.
Do not get into the habit of being mentally one dimensional, because that might have been how your past have had held you back. Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Your habits are subconsciously controlled, and this should serve you want to daily basis no matter what you do. Believe me when I tell you that your subconscious wants you to transpose any of your affirmations into action. If you have a belief that is so profound mixed with faith and applied action then there is no reason why it will not change that attitude that you have towards it into a habit. Are you up to optimistic, are you pessimistic? If you don’t know where you going, then any road will take you there.
Always think about, what is great about a situation that you’re in, the possibilities. Never think in terms of lack, or I wish.
Words will form your beliefs, so make sure that use ones that you’re passionate about. Your thoughts can create many miracles in your life, that’s if you allow it since you hold the key, however, you must know how to open the door to success sooner than later. I think one of the keys that many people will find on their Journey, is basically the ability to have the creative imagination develop an idea that with great attention will become a part of your conscious desires, instead of some subconscious fear. One thing for sure is that everything that you do every action that you take, the more success you will have and it will help bring forth happiness to you. You will feel more fulfilled, the joy that you feel will just keep growing and growing, you will become more confident, and eager to keep going.

]]>
What Drives YOU to Success? You are a physical byproduct of your mental thoughts Many people throughout their lives have always heard things like; ” You’ll never accomplish anything in life” or “That’s not for you”. However, life should be what you choose for yourself, not have it based on what somebody thinks it should be for you. So whatever you tell your subconscious via repeated thoughts could harness a positive expectation for you, if you so choose. The approximate 10% of your conscious mind is something that you need to work on in everyday life, because it interacts with the physical world so you must overcome that percentage. The reason being is that the conscious mind is quite resistant to change, and it generally prefers pretty much, to be the way currently things are in life, whether it’s good or bad. You must have the will to succeed.
That’s why people get complacent and waste away in comfort zones. Nothing worthwhile has ever come out of a comfort zone. My Hope for you is that you will take some sort of predetermined action, because you should plan to do something wonderful and specific with it. Once you determine the direction that you see yourself going in, then you need to put you subconscious into action, don’t deviate from it at all, because any preparation that will encompass the things that you want to get out of it, will play a role in how it executes it for you. Any changes is clearly going to be your responsibility and nobody else’s. Wayne Dyer, had a wonderful saying, and he truly believed that life exists pretty much in your present moment, because tomorrow is never promised to anyone. And that is so true, isn’t it?
The one difference that I mentioned earlier that will be a key factor and your existence is what I mentioned in regards to your will. That will is sort of a remote control in your conscious mind. What you do, think, act, will directly be influenced by your subconscious. Master the feeling of living life on your terms, focus on what you envision your life to be, the change that must be. Get into the ritual of making the affirmations into your mind habitual, you will not regret the results that you will achieve, You’re responsible for your own evolution, take responsibility for the conditions that you desire, and give the energy needed for your mind to deliver your wishes. Have no doubt at any time, because any objections that you encounter are created by ignorance. The more you are in touch with the things within you, than you will be more so with what is around you. As you trust the process, than you will manifest more of what you want appears in the physical reality. Never let any doubt spend much time in your mind and throw it away, since you will not have need for it anyway.
You will always be affected by what you learn in your personal life experiences, you may get a wake-up call and now have a totally changed life. The shift in your new philosophy can be the spark to ignite your inner flame. Sometimes learning from others experiences can serve you of value too. Observe and remember that any success that you or they have, will leave a few clues here and there. IF you spend the time developing yourself in your journey, nothing will be impossible, any good ideas that you come up with will not go astray. You need to grow and need to keep stimulating yourself, so you may grow into the person that will experience the visualization within your dreams. The one thing you can do in this world that you can control are the choices that will make or break the real you, even a small one, it’s what will affect what you do, where you go, what you read, who you hang out with. Will you commit and follow the decisions that you make to change for the better? Or will you listen to the media, your friends, your co-workers, perhaps those without ambition that are looking to keep you in a comfort zone that will hurt you more than help you. What you focus on, you will feel, and if you feel it enough to stir up those emotional feelings that will catapult you to make a change, then you will be on your way.
So the question remains, “What Drives you to Succeed? Success could never really be achieved in your life if you’re not motivated enough to attain it. A key toward your personal success,is to learn how to hold a thought or that idea in your mind with a very positive intention, so you can develop any conscious desires and eliminate you’re unconscious fears.
Ask yourself, what does being totally successful to you, actually mean?
Being successful to all people can be many different things at times.Everyone’s definition is quite different. To some people it could be having a loving family. To others it could be to having a thriving business. I will tell you that bring successful it is not an accident. It’s about living your life on purpose. It’s the natural process of taking successful action on your thoughts. Some people say that success is one of luck, maybe an extremely small percentage. However, let’s leave luck for the lottery. There is always a cause and effect that will dictate any experience that you have no life and it’s generally governed by the actions that you take and your behavior towards it. Don’t wait before it’s too late ,a lot of people get too smart in their elder years and by the time they figure out what to do with their lives, however, they’ve realized that they are almost out of time.

Is your mental strategy guiding you in the right direction?
One of the greatest things that I have learned after being coached by Tony Robbins, Jim Rohn, Zig Ziglar and others, is that you need to make some mental shifts in order to get your mind to do what you want and get some of the results you long for. On a Conscious thinking level, you must take great responsibility in reaching any goals that you set forward to reach, so you may live that glorious life you seek. There is no lottery thinking here, no quick roads or short cuts. You must get a plan to take the long road, because, if you do not know the path you will be taking, well then, any road will take you there. However, I am not sure that you will have a very happy journey if you do not make some mental changes. . You must condition yourself and your nervous system to make these changes. Your reasons must be compelling, get excited about where you are going. Rand McNally, had a map, get a mentor and a map to where you want to go. If you have any inner conflicts, get clarity and so not be fearful to make it yours. That treasure is yours now. Align you focus to what I important to you in achieving your dream. The only thing that is missing, is for you to take action and getting fulfillment in doing so.
People base their future based on what has happened in their past. However, there is no correlation, if you change your strategy. Your attitude toward your short and long term goal and the steps you take to get there, will determine your outcome. Mentally you have the control, if you believe so. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Challenge procrastination with decisive action. Remember that it’s not necessary to have all the evidence before you commit yourself. Sometimes it takes a leap of faith. In order to be successful you must take what each day gives you and learn from it and grow. Your mind must dwell upon where you want to be, there will be some twists in the road, however, you can get there.
Do you immerse yourself in learning the steps needed to shine and growing as a person? People have to believe that they can achieve something that seems beyond their reach. We generally change ourselves for one of two reasons; inspiration or desperation. How bad do you want to live the life you want now, and what are you willing to give up in order to get it? This is what you have to ask yourself. Each of us – successes and failures, rich or poor, young or old, employed and unemployed – has exactly 24 hours a day, 168 hours a week. How much time investment you make in your dream is up to you
You need to have that winner mentality. A winner never quits and a quitter never wins. There is no option here, you can do it if you influence you brain to condition yourself to be one. You need to Create a Biology that is Positive and your Brain will release a Chemistry that assist in Manifesting a Physical Experience for you.
Henry Ford, said “You can’t build a reputation on what you are going to do”
So take action. Set up a discipline when the emotions are high and the idea is strong, clear, and powerful. Take the core of your time allowed, to focus on your mindset to achieve an attitude that is unshakable. Start with the smallest discipline that corresponds to your own philosophy, the one that makes you better than who you were yesterday. You are the best project that you can work on, so do not be afraid to screw and make mistakes as you become what you want to be by achieving them.
The process of condition yourself to success is great once you get into motion. Desire will be the starting point of your achievement, so get started. Your beliefs and values control you so, you have some conflicts internally that may be holding you back. Snap out of it, because you will make progress. You have to get started and take action on your journey, because you will never stumble upon something great sitting down.
Any thought, plan or idea that you hold continuously must be brought into your reality by your higher conscious mind. Unfortunately, we do not get what we deserve in life – we get what we expect. And so, depending upon whether our subconscious is programmed with a positive expectation for success, or with a negative expectation, it heavily contributes towards the results we receive daily. Once a positive thought has been impressed in the subconscious, it must lead to an experience. No impression is ever going to be wasted. Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them.
You are simply experiencing what you have prepared yourself to experience. This requires diligence and sometimes a great deal of practice to stay focused. When you act in this manner, you start creating success in each part of your life. These successes and the focused attention on being in a positive light will create positive impressions upon your subconscious. These new impressions will eventually surface in the form of new positive experiences. I do hope you take advantage of a Free Coaching Session to see how we may work out a strategy for you!

Create a Solid Content Marketing Strategy. In the social media world that we live in, content marketing will be one of the top ways that you can reach your target market. The content that you put out there for your readers, followers and prospects will determine tremendously and the success that you have in this media world of ours for the future. As you determine your objectives for content marketing, think of how you will measure your audience and create your content execution.
What sets YOU apart from everyone else?
Focus on content:
I am a big fan of doing blog posts, perhaps you may consider to do a quick YouTube video, graphics, whatever it is that will define you as a marketer, than that is the message you want to send out there to consumer. You must begin to promote your content via social media, since you are trying to build that solid relationship and creating a role of your content that will build your brand /product relationship with your target market. Your best content will find a place out there, that will not only inform your prospective audience, but somewhat be entertaining as well.
Ultimate content strategy goal:
One thing to remember for any marketer is that your overall campaign and marketing strategy is to generate sales via the leads that you have produced. Try to think about what your audience really wants, and you will come up with a solution for them, and ultimately give them a reason to contact you.
Content marketing simply put, is building the relationship with your future buyers. According to the Content Marketing Institute, its been documented 45 % plus of marketers will have a content marketing strategy, however, that number needs to increase overall to become more successful in social media. If you don’t get a strategy soon then you’re really going to miss out on some nice returns on investment.
You have to really truly find out with your ultimate goal is when you starting your content marketing strategy in the social media world. Most importantly, execute it on a regular basis.
Develop a plan:
Perhaps you may develop a marketing strategy involving it in a weekly or monthly modality in your execution, this is where social media will benefit you the most. List topics that are most relevant to your business. If you are marketing to consumers, Marketing Profs has stated that an e-marketing newsletter has a 66% effectiveness rate.
Promote your content:
Use every avenue that you possibly can for conversion optimization. This includes lead generation, email marketing, and paid media, along with your social media marketing on all the available platforms, such as: Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, SlideShare, YouTube.etc. To put this into perspective when defining the content marketing strategy.
StumbleUpon, has a paid discovery at low prices per click. Reddit Ads, has some similar options as well.
I think one of the main facets of developing a content marketing strategy, is really for a customer engagement, and creating future sales. After all you are an a business to do what? Make a profit that’s right. But don’t just stop there, what you may want to do is you want to dive into the needs, of your customers, via your content. This will now help you start to build your target audience.
Good quality content is probably the main reason the people follow a brand in social media and helping them build their engagement. If your content is relevant more often than self advertising, then that will most likely lead to sales for you. You want to focus on that mutual value of building a long term relationship with your clients.
There is a neat tool called https://contentmarketer.io/ that after you register will let you enter your email address and assist you in connecting with other people that will help promote your content. I like what I have seen so far and have heard about this. Whether it’sa TwitterAd or HelloBar, there are many ways to get that Content out there.
Pinpointing your content marketing strategy:
Define who you target audience is and developed an overall in-depth understanding of any problems that they’re having and figure out a way how to properly answer any buying questions that they may have. Become the trusted source that they are looking for.
A neat tool to look at that will forecast how your content will perform with the market that you were trying to reach even before you write it, check out www.inboundwriter.com
If you do not want to get into content strategy software, perhaps you just might want to set up an Excel spreadsheet that will help you visualize and track your progress with your future audience. I believe an important thing is to try and survey any of your customers and ask questions on what they are interested in, so that will help you develop the content that you were trying to sell to them, which enables you to pinpoint certain features that are important to them in turn that will convert into sales for you. I wrote an article for the Digital Marketing Institute, with some ideas that will help you refine your content marketing strategy- enjoy.
Make sure when you write your material via your content strategy, that you target your keywords on every page so it picks up better on the search engines and also helps you be found by any potential visitors. Remember to use Google Analytics, to track your website page traffic.
I would make sure that you have some sort of a landing page or form for your prospects to fill out that will help them convey information to contact you and discuss their needs and wants.
Your strategy should include everything from a blog post to an email newsletter, a podcast, social media posting, perhaps is 6 second micro video on Vine. Whatever it takes to get your message out there. Approximately 60 % of all businesses are already using some form of content marketing as part of their overall content marketing strategy.
http://www.outbrain.com/ is a neat content promotion network, that gets you noticed on some premium sites. 80% of leading brands out there use this company.
Just to recap, if you learn how to identify any problems in your industry that you were focusing on, by doing so you might establish yourself as an authority within your industry…. and is that not what you want to happen? Of course it’s what you are looking to do!

Learn your KPI’ s for Social Media, it’s as easy as A-B-C.Basically, you social media metrics should have a format that will help you determine how well any of your social networking campaigns are doing. This Kpi dashboard will help you determine the amount of Engagement or perhaps the shares that you are receiving which is crucial on your social media Networks. The key is how do you track and convert the visitors once they go to your blog or website.
There are several things to consider as far as you measuring your Kpi’s that is the output of what you are posting in any social media platforms . A very important thing to consider is the interaction and perhaps even an interest in your brand that you are creating out there.
Concentrate on a certain percentage of posts that you would want to share amongst each and every social media Network you are on, however, break them down into content topics.
One of the things that may help your kpi take shape, is to boost up your link building strategy. When other people link up to your blog it’s going to build a domain Authority and make you more noticeable within your niche market. Your SEO strategy will help improve your brand exposure and help create your branded keywords via search traffic. The more people that engage with your brand then the better it will be in measuring any of your social media campaigns. In essence definitely pay attention to those kpi’s, while you track your social media engagement. I’ve said it and numerous articles, building relationships and engagement is the name of the game on social media.
Kpi’s, do vary from industry, so your goals as a brand is going to depend largely on any particular targeted activity in your marketing campaigns. There is no doubt how we communicate in the social world, has been revolutionized in the eyes between companies and the end user. How you differentiate yourself from your competition will be vital to adjust success. There is room out there for everyone to get a piece of the pie. The question is how big of a bite are you willing to take?
Key Points
From creating an ebook to your brand to updating your blog posts on a regular basis, there are so many things that you could do to increase your metrics. Perhaps get involved and taking a crack on shooting a video and make it a part of your Facebook update.
New followers, are your fans. So any retweets or shares that will help spread your message across the social networks, especially if you are not directly connected to any particular platform, will allow you to increase your Brand’s awareness. A lot of folks out there tend to overlook the power and the value of referral traffic. Sometimes it could make or break you. Referrals, area a warm hot lead that could bring in tons of business for years to come.
Video
The metrics on this one don’t lie. Especially this year. Over 75% globally are getting involved in video posts , and over 94% of those in the U.S. Source Facebook
You cannot rush creating key performance indicators for yourself. You have to make sure that they are relevant to your business strategy. Your measurement. And measurement units will determine your results and interpret where you are going to go, as you continue to use the strategy long-term. Remember, all your kpi’s are meant to show your current progress and success.
Some of the actions that will help you with your kpi’s like I mentioned earlier:
You need to take a specific set of actions to make the numbers in your kpi change , remember that.
5 Steps for KPI Success
Always keep in mind that you must be conscious of monitoring the day-to-day objectives and your overall strategy. Every kpi should always show you the bigger picture and your marketing strategy for future effectiveness and overall profits.
In a super Jeff Bullas article, he writes: Choose tools based on your goals with specific KPIs that you’re tracking as success parameters. This tool selection is key. 67% marketers named measurement as the top area in which they needed to invest.

Are you building relationships or just sucking up to influencers? Influencer marketing, has become a very hot topic and if you think about it, it’s not very difficult to understand why. Just on Instagram alone when you have over 400 million active users, it is by far one of the top visual marketing platforms and social media today.
Audiences or Influencers
Just because a person has a large following on many social media platforms or even a bunch of blog followers, that doesn’t exactly make them an influential person. The audience might be there, but do they have the skills to build relationships? Whether it’s influencer marketing with traditional sales, that personal touch will always make a difference.
One of the most annoying things that a marketer could possibly do during their daily social media regimen is just constantly post, post, post about themselves and their business and fail to develop the utmost important skills on mastering how to build relationships with people that could possibly come back tenfold to assist in their ROI marketing efforts. And this isn’t because you want to suck up to them, no it’s being honest, appreciative, thankful and having the gratitude to say, hey thanks for being a real friend here- in a very… sometimes cold social media world.
One of the things that really blows my mind is especially in places like Twitter unless you mention somebody sometimes, it amazes me who your real friends are, and that will remember you and mention you even if you are busy and just didn’t get to it. It is an honor when an influencer marketer, follows you. However, to what value is it if they never interact with you? Not too long ago, I asked a very well-known marketer out there who wanted to connect with me across all platforms and THEN when he got to one particular platform, I asked the question to him – “Can I ask you why you want to connect with me here? We’ve connected on six platforms and I never hear from you, however, I have contacted you on many occasions, yet fail to hear back from you.”
Take a wild guess on the response that I got? You got it the big goose egg. You’re in a business building relationships, building trust- posting grade articles alone is not going to do it, even if you think it provides great value. Your audience is going to sense that. A true fellow Marketer would appreciate the relationship. Was I out of line asking that question? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
What some influencer marketers (some of them), fail to realize is that you might agree on having a nice collaborative relationship and build on something wonderful. The opportunity is there for the taking, if they are willing? By utilizing both of your strengths you could feed off each other and it could be a win-win situation for the both of you.
Some people out there are brilliant writers and communicators, however, they have no people skills, they might have phenomenal technical expertise, but, getting somebody to become a friend of theirs online seems to be a great challenge.
Your audience is not necessarily going to buy what you do, they will buy WHY you’re doing it!
Regardless of the term influencer marketing or key influencers, it all boils down to the same thing in social media terms. They perhaps are the absolute royalty of the social media world and have great influence in their niche industry, yet some might not be worth your time reaching. So choose wisely. When you do go out there and try to identify and contact some of them, let them know why? They might appreciate knowing your reasons why. A neat tool to assist you and finding an influencer, is Klout. However, recently I got rid of my Klout account, due to the insipidness that is going on in their office with their never ending software issues, which do not work properly. For more sophistication, yet not a free service, one of the best tools out there available is something called Traackr. This tool will help you identify and begin the engagement process rather quickly.
I want to point out, that there is no guarantee that influencer marketers will necessarily follow you back all the time or even communicate with you. Regardless, if you have retweeted them who made a comment on their blog posts. They do like it when another influencer does that. But if you are not exactly a social media rock star, don’t be too offended if they do not contact you back. To me I think everyone, and I mean everyone should put the ego aside, and just take a moment and say a quick thank you or a quick hello. It doesn’t hurt. If you are going to make a comment on one of their blog posts, perhaps ask a question instead of just saying how wonderful the post is. This may increase your chances for a response. Be authentic, be real, that is key.
Let me ask you this, how did you feel when an expert in your field recommended you on any of their social media profiles or even yet that are a Blog of theirs? Pretty good,right? Influencer marketers should learn a lot from the Winnie the Pooh philosophy. You will definitely find out Who Your Friends Are. In our case it’s online.
In the years that I’ve been involved an online and social media marketing, there there are some people you just want to hug the stuffing out of. You wake up in the morning and you can’t wait to see you what sarcastic humor they said to you and how a recent or past blog article made their day. Is it really that difficult to be human and kind enough to basically acknowledge someone even if they’re not on your Twitter chat? I loved it when you would never hear people for three quarters of a week, and then when one of the chats were coming up they would email you and all the sudden you were your best friend. Hey, I think Janet Jackson said it best in her song, what have you done for me lately, right?
Me personally, I never really cared if someone was super successful marketing online, it doesn’t take much to respond back to somebody on a tweet or a Facebook comment or whatever platform you choose to be on and say a simple “hi”. Yes we all know that we need to be relevant and provide value with the content that we put out there, but one of the things I definitely notice is the lack of attention, that goes way over some markers heads, when it comes to building relationships. They absolutely do not have a clue.
There are some people that I absolutely adore, such as Sam Hurley. This Gent from the UK is one of the world’s most influential marketers and a heck of a nice guy. There’s not a day that goes by I do not communicate with this fella. He is genuine, sincere, and a hell of a nice person.
Now there are some of the people out there that have terrific success stories, yet they choose not to follow more than one person. Why? Oh well, that is your prerogative,however, not the best tactic I would say to building a long-term relationship with people.
My advice is take the time to identify and try to make friends with influencer marketers in your niche market. See how they respond to you even when you introduce yourself to them. If they continue to ignore you, move on and go on to somebody else. I don’t think you need to be on stage constantly and be interviewed by Forbes Magazine, to make yourself worthy of being a good reliable contact or friend.
This isn’t necessarily about looking for monetary returns, it’s about sharing your passion, the thoughts and your character values with others that appreciate you and vice versa. Show people some love in return and retweet an article of theirs, or tell them how much you admire them how they made your day. The basic human emotion that we all have as human beings, is the need to feel wanted and loved. Some people would know how to do that if they got hit over the head with a brick.
This leads me to another wonderful person by the name of Susan Gilbert. Susan has been friends with myself for years now, and she has been a wonderful inspiration to many, and just downright a wholesome caring person. Regardless of where or when I contact her on any social media platform, she is always there to say hi and offer a kind comment. How wonderful is that? VERY- I never asked her to do it. She did it out of the kindness of her own heart. Is that difficult to do? I don’t know, for some perhaps, quite.
The bottom line is, if we just put our ego aside and realize that we are all marketers here, and we should be available to help and support one another, it should be to your best interest to do so – time permitting of course. Yes, I know we are all busy at times. But acknowledgement in this industry is crucial for one market to another- period, it’s how we keep build relationships, it’s how we drive the support home and let people know that we were true influences, and not just a promoter.
This is a win-win situation for everyone, as long as it comes from the heart, and you take the monetary aspect away from it. People will know when your phony and not real, and will pick up on that. I rather have five phenomenal friends, that I could call a true friend instead of 1000 that are just casual acquaintances. Which brings me to another cool friend Neal Schaffer who is very well known and respected in the field of Social Media. I always enjoy hearing from him, and when I least expect it he retweets my articles out of the kindness of his heart. The beauty of a real friend is priceless, and I am truly blessed to know them and have them be a part of my life.
A solid piece of advice that I may also give you, is perhaps to conduct an interview with somebody that you admire online as an influencer. This may allow you to start building that relationship and reach a greater influence and audience. I love nothing more than making a new friend online. One that I could keep in touch with a few years down the road. It Thrills me to have them as a true friend and to be able to give back some love, and help them promote themselves and build trust in the relationship. Remember, it is all about building relationships.
Linking content back to influencers content in your own promoted content is a fantastic way to begin a dialogue with them. If your content is applicable, and it adds value towards why you are contacting them, then by all means do so. Again, I cannot stress enough, that it’s always about engaging and building relationships. Your efforts should be spent mostly on engaging with influencers. Stop sucking up to influences. Let them know exactly why you perhaps like their posts or have used this to guide you to take action towards something that you were working on. Hopefully, they will appreciate the compliment.
Yes, let’s respect those who have gotten to Great Heights as an influencer marketer, but never forget that almost like being the fan of a famous rock act, the fans are what has gotten you to where you are. Stay grounded and do not forget where you have come from, when you started to get involved in social media marketing. Don’t neglect others, break the mold for a moment and share some love with your audience.
The beautiful thing about this industry is that it allows you to make friends – if you will… All over the world. I love that so much.

Social media is changing your marketing strategy. Like it or not it’s a fact. Technology is changing faster than ever this year and one of the hottest Trends is Video Marketing. The stage has already been set, and live instant marketing is taking over traditional content marketing and kicking its ass. It’s faster.. it’s easier, yes ,I do know some people will have a challenge doing it ,however, the trend is taking shape faster then you can drop a hat.
You heard the fact in the past, that says ~ A picture is worth a thousand words. Imagine how many a video will be? Statement not only remains to be true, however it is becoming the driving force of social media marketing. It is true that many different social media platforms require a diverse strategy , however, the speed of which this is working to catch someone’s attention literally in seconds is mind-blowing.
Just look at the recent success of the woman who was wearing the Chewbacca mask on YouTube and what has happened to her. T.V. Producers, are looking at online videos all the time. Get creative in your marketing, and watch the results soar. Making your interactions with people more personal and having a conversation on an informal level will make your prospect feel like you’re close friends instead of someone that just wanted to sell them and put your product or service down their throat.
Right now you have over 2 billion people on the planet that are social media marketers, and it’s growing literally every year. How you position your marketing is going to create a difference on the level of success that you have out there, while assisting you in boosting sales and building credibility online. While the Top Apps in the world are all messaging apps, some video sharing apps are breaking ground on how you can position yourself as a leader in the marketplace.
Just last year alone Facebook had literally doubled it’s daily video activities to 8 billion , that was more than YouTube had. More that 1 Billion people daily access Facebook via their mobile phone. Also, Twitter got into the video game , and then Snapchat has over 6 billion video news on a daily basis. It’s a very effective and hassle-free way of marketing.
Your social media marketing style, will need to adapt. According to Shopify, they stated that Facebook ruled the roost as a source for purchases. Over 36 + Million visits. Also, as you have recently seen Facebook, has upped the game in Video Performance Marketing.

It is so easy to just point , shoot your video and post on YouTube. They will use their powerful advertising network, to bring about more video for hosting and monetization.
“Social media is changing your marketing strategy and instant content is going to become a lot more prevalent in the future.” That is where the video and visual content comes into play as far as your strategy is concerned. This is why this powerful and quick form of marketing is taking over traditional written content marketing.
Yep, we are moving into a world of real time engagement. And the only way to do that is by utilizing technology that has been made available to us. As you build a solid rapport with your audience, the better your ROI will be. Remember, Facebook has 360 Ads, as does YouTube. More and more platforms are continuing to go this route of marketing.
I truly believe that social media is moving towards this live interaction between businesses and consumers, therefore they will most likely become a potential advocate of a brand. Consumers really need to feel and see the side of brands on a human level. That is going to be the one way to strengthen the connection between the two.
Ultimately, in a good way, it is going to be the best way towards getting into a live dialogue, to resolve issues as they may arise. Engagement is key, I have always stressed that – however, many customers online would love to see a response back and 60 Minutes or Less, this strategy will enable you to do it a lot sooner than that. Social media marketers will definitely need to show the human side, to get the most out of their social media marketing campaigns. I think mobile users will be able to adapt quickly with that in mind and open up a whole new arena in their marketing strategy.
Remember, people love to put a face with a name and any social videos or visual content that you produce is a great way to show your personality and let folks get a glimpse of Who You Are.

The universe conspires with those who are specific in what they want. When you specifically state your goal you activate numerous mental and universal laws of the subconscious mind to act in your favor greatly improving your chances for success, it is the storage room of everything that is currently not in your conscious so we must work at being conscious of what we put in it.
The overall scope of the the mind is that it works like a camera and it records just about everything from the time you are born. The conscious mind on the other hand, which is the left brained…but that right side we need to develop, the subconscious minds operation is primarily a recording device and a data storehouse that the conscious mind.

The subconscious mind is the driver seat of all memories, fears, attitudes, behavioral patterns, habits, beliefs, and expectations. Only 2-4% of our day is controlled by our conscious mind, and the other 96-98% is taken care of by the subconscious. 96% of all your decisions, actions, thoughts, feelings are all done automatically, unconsciously via your subconscious mind.
Keep in mind that habits & attitudes are pretty much classified as positive or negative. Actions are best generated in the subconscious, when your mind is at a resting stage. Success in life is a lot of little achievements,everyday ones. It’s following through on every goal that you set up and take action on. So a vital function of the subconscious mind is habit formation & control, so when you couple the amazing capacity of the conscious with it,you can conceive a virtual limitless amount of success in your life. It is amazing to think how much our subconscious mind does for us. It beats our heart, digests our food, and breathes for us all without any conscious effort. With all of the amazing things it does, our subconscious doesn’t always do everything we want it to. Many people have realized that they have several bad habits of doing and thinking, and understand that in order to grow and prosper, those habits must be changed. Indeed, your subconscious mind is the key to your success.
