Let's Create Your Success Story!
I keep thinking about the successful leaders in this business - they have laid out their formula for all to see -- hence the name "CarbonCopyPRO" - I have made it to #1 on the Rising Star List in my first 5 weeks (currently been knocked down to #2) and made my initial investment back in the same period of time. I have been in franchising and brick and mortar businesses and this is simply an amazing accomplishment. I am not saying this to gloat. I am sharing this because I have heard the success stories from the top earners in our community and I decided to be one. I simply "copied" their methods and applied them to my marketing. I can't wait to see your name on the leaderboards!!
Who doesn't want to be successful? I certainly do. Successful in my calling. Successful in marriage. Successful in parenting. The word successful means "coming about, taking place, or turning out to be as was hoped for." We all have hopes and dreams and success means that our dreams are fulfilled. The challenge with success is not the desire to be successful. The challenge centers around the paths we take to reach the desired destination.
We can achieve a semblance of success on our own. But without a solid commitment, effort, belief, support system(spouse?), a mentor, a team, a foundation and solid resources our efforts are built on sand. If the foundation is shaky on the best days then it is washed away when the storms hit.
"Desire is the key to motivation, but it's the determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek." Mario Andretti - (race car driver)
We need to join in the celebration of victories. When a one of our team members has a new member join the team, give them a call of congratulations. Everybody wins with new business.
If another suggests a new product idea, or improved work process, don't be a stumbling block, celebrate the better idea and jump on board.
Inquire how the member was acquired, or how the better idea was conceived. Then learn to apply the same principles to your work.
Join the celebrations for your business success.
Remember - Raise Your Hand!! -- shoot me an e-mail or give me a call with any questions you may have. Stay plugged in to the daily calls and trainings - If you cannot attend the live calls --- then log in at your convenience and listen to the recordings - they are all their for you!

Now A Member Of The Association Of Better Networkers!
With all the junk thrown around on the internet these days it can be hard for people to tell who and what is real and what may not be legitimate. I have long been a member of the Better Business Bureau and the local Chamber of Commerce through my Mortgage Business. Truthfully, this was done more for the stickers that I could put in my window and the logos on my advertisements. These add a level of credibility and hey -- any little bit can help to start a conversation. Once that conversation is started, there will be no credibility issues as potential team members will quickly learn who I am and what my opportunity is about. The Association of Better Networkers (ABN) has a great code of conduct and has a very nice banner (included below). Feel Free to click on it and check it out. It is good to know there is a community dedicated to keeping a high level of integrity and maintaining social responsibility in our industry.
All The Best!!

Pay Per Click (PPC) Courses, Training and How To’s
Once you embark down the road of Pay Per Click marketing, it can be overwhelming and can get expensive very quickly!! This is not throwing an ad up on a billboard or in the local paper. Google makes you work way beyond placing your ad. They want relevance for the user, the advertiser and their company. Their algorithms are as obscure as a “secret sauce”.
So as a newbie, where do we turn?
The purpose of this post is to share some of the resources I found useful. I started PPC on Adwords about six weeks ago and it is a daunting task. There are tons of resources out there and all are at a premium. Google’s training tools are good for learning the system itself but not so helpful in marketing and getting results. I am in no way saying you need to spend money to learn adwords. Google has free sources and tools and you can find other free sources as well. I am simply sharing what I have tried out. Here are my recommendations for worthwhile resources if you are new to PPC.
Perry Marshall's Definitive Guide to Adwords($49) -- this is a MUST! This e-book covers the essentials and gives great marketing tips.
PPC Domination by Jim Yaghi and Magnetic Sponsoring. This one is more expensive ($497) but gives you the very basic information -lots of videos and is for someone who has never done adwords --there are lots of marketing tips in this one beyond the adwords logistics. This is the "A to Z" guide for network marketers. There's a top earner in my company that is always endorsing this one which is what led me to buy it.
Double Digit CTR by James Schramko (Videos, Audio and E-book for $37 with no fluff - he gets right to the point). This course includes audio, video and an e-book. It is geared toward affiliate marketing, but I found it to be very useful in that he gets right to the point and to what works. He also has a lot or resources for tools that you may want to implement into your strategy after you get going. This isn’t going to be good for a true beginner. I think this is useful after you have a campaign going and need to learn how to optimize and set new strategies beyond the basics.
There is also a website/blog called PPC Hero that I have found some useful nuggets on.
I am continually getting e-books and videos to try and get all the knowledge I can on adwords as this is the driving force. Drive traffic effectively and sales will be made. I will weed out the junk and share what I think is worthwhile.
Please let me know what you find to be useful as well!!

Work From Home or Work From Anywhere?
Do you want an opportunity to work from home? Or is it freedom itself that you are truly after? The answer for me is easy. I want the freedom. I have been chained to my brick and mortar businesses long enough. Stealing a three day weekend here and there isn’t the kind of annual vacation plans I have for my three children and certainly isn’t the freedom I expect from being an entrepreneur. I realize great effort is involved in building a business. I renewing a focus on putting in a concerted effort in building it up front and then letting it run and maintain profitability for the long term. This requires a system, which is the cornerstone of this internet marketing plan.
I do like the fact that I have not had a boss in almost ten years. I have enjoyed success in my mortgage business. The problem is that I was never really leveraged. The automation was never in place. Given the current changes in the mortgage business I don’t know if I can ever be leveraged and gain the freedom I wanted from being my own boss. So started what I call -- “The Search”. This search lasted almost a full year and was necessary for me to gain experience and first hand knowledge of all the junk that is put out there.
When I started searching for a work from home “exit strategy”, I had a few qualifying factors in mind. One was that the company had to be legitimate, honest and reputable. If I was going to put my reputation and name on something then it needed to be completely legitimate. The second factor was that it needed to be profitable. Thirdly, I wanted to be able to work from my laptop – from anywhere. Work from home sounds good, but “working from anywhere” sounds better. There were many other factors I was looking for in a work from home business opportunity but I will keep it to three here.
I am enjoying the work in this business model. The work is not hard, although it’s easy to become overwhelmed with information at times. That said, there’s definitely a learning curve as I have not done much in the way of internet marketing in my other businesses. I am already receiving the rewards in five short weeks and that is very motivating and re-enforces my commitment. I have run a franchise before where it took three years to reach a break even point and that wasn’t even factoring in my start up costs.
So now I am realizing results and the next step is to work with those that allowed the results to begin. Building a team is a major part of building my success. Assist the team members grow their businesses and the success of my work from home or “work from anywhere” opportunity will be a foregone conclusion.
