Home Business Social Media- Personal Branding -the ONE Secret?
home business personal branding
In home business social media, there are so many tips, trainings, and strategies for success that are so rocking HOT. And we have been training since 2006 on MLM Social Media for Home Business.
But I believe one of the GREATEST powers of social media is the power to build a reputation and image in people’s minds that they remember.
It is called “Personal Branding.”
Personal branding in your home based business requires many things and we are coming out with a resource soon that will equip you to brand you beyond anything you ever though you could.
But WHAT is the real focus of Personal branding for Home business?
Some say that it is to build a “perception” that other people remember and it stays in their mind.
Some say that it is to build a picture online so that people will talk about it and spread it.
Some say that it is simply painting a picture of your message with an image or words that people connect to you and remember.
Yes…they are all correct.
But we have built a brand using the word “FIRE” and it has been all over the internet for years. We have used it in images, posts, audios, videos, and the like. But the power of Personal Branding even moves past that. Yes, we have a 7 figure brand, but that is NOT what the TRUE FOCUS is of Personal Branding in home business social media.
Far from it.
MLM and social media are much alike. If you think about it, you want people to feel GOOD about you and your message as well as business.
But here is the Million Dollar question:
How do YOU set yourself apart form all the other home business personal brands out there?
How do you RISE above the fray and set yourself higher in the home business profession?
Simple…
We ran across a secret of mlm social media branding about 5 years ago and have taught it only to our Private Clients that we consult with one on one. It is a POWERFUL Secret that many people simply have no clue of.
That is why we have been blessed by God to have such a powerful home based business brand in the profession of network marketing. We simply took that secret and ran with it.
YOU need to set yourself apart from ALL the rest of the network marketing and work at home folks. You need to make yourself SPECIAL in your prospect’s mind.
Ok…
How?
In Personal Branding in Home Business, do NOT just be remembered.
Become UNFORGETTABLE.
Did you GET THAT? Read it again. LOUD!
Become UNFORGETTABLE.
People that are remembered in personal branding do build a following.
But there are those rare people that become Unforgettable in personal branding, that build AN ARMY of loyal maniacs.
Is that not what YOU WANT?
Do not just settle for being remembered.
There are 5 levels of “Personal Branding Impact” as we have developed and in a future post I will cover those so you can have an idea of how to create a Personal brand that does not only trigger a memory of you, but also trigger a MOVEMENT TOWARDS YOU in your mlm home business personal branding.

Home Business MLM Training-Why Recruit Small Business Prospects?
home business small business
A home based business GOLD MINE for prospects?
Yes. A VERY Powerful One.
Today, you have many types of small business owners in social media and online. There are small business fan pages, professional fan pages, knols, blogs, wikis, and many other different kind of small business places to find prospects.
Many people ignore the small business owner.
I did not.
I recruited personally over 100 of them as they were a gold mine in CONTACTS. They already understood the power of running a business. And they already were doing it every day.
If I would have had social media in the 90s to recruit from, I would have recruited hundreds more as it truly makes it so much easier. But yet, many home business owners do no recruit small business owners.
It is quite puzzling to me. Especially in today’s economy- many of them are looking for alternative revenue sources.
I would suggest that you take a HARD LOOK at small business owners as they are a GOLD MINE in social networking as well as offline networking. And I DO believe we are in NETWORK marketing.
That is why I am going to say this ONE MORE TIME:
There is a virtual Gold Mine out in the marketplace online as well as offline, for network marketing and home business that is being virtually ignored by most folks.
These small business owners have major Success ASSETS for Home Business Success.
And they are waiting on you to tap into. Small business professionals have 5 things they bring to a home business and MLM that can prove to be absolutely invaluable:
1) Contacts around the country.
2) Existing clients.
3) Experience in the marketplace.
4) Exposure, credibility, and visibility to a lot of folks.
5) Capital that can purchase products.
Many of these owners today, because of the economy, are looking for other sources of revenue. They are major entrepreneurs, and understand the concept of multiple streams of income and revenue options, which are available in a Network Marketing home business.
Ok, who are these gold mines?
The Small Business Professional in your city and town.
And this Gold mine is endless as far as potential, possibilities, contacts, sales, and profit.
We all need to get into our warm market whether in social media or offline, and rarely is a warm market totally exhausted. Most people never call on a third of their warm market. That is an industry fact.
But we ALL know small business professionals in our warm market, and they are a lot of times very willing to take a look at a “secondary revenue source”.
Let me ask you some questions:
Who do you purchase things from on a regular basis?
Who do you buy your insurance from?
Who did you buy your real estate from?
Who do you purchase your groceries from? Who do you know that owns a small business?
Small business owners are looking today for how to expand, increase, improve, and enlarge their current business and profits, and network marketing has proven to be a great source of income for the right business owner.
Who would be some small business professionals in your town as well as on social media?
1) Print Shop Managers/Owners.
2) Book Store Managers/ Owners
3) Restaurant Manager/ Owner
4) CPA
5) Attorney
6) Stock Broker
7) Jewelry Store Manager/Owner
8) Service Station Owner
9) Local Pharmacy owner
10) Grocery Store Owner/ manager
11) Book keepers
12) Fitness Trainers
13) Health Professionals
14) Medical professionals
15) Consultants
The List is endless.
At the end of the day the biggest people that are going to want to use this sort of training are fitness and medical professionals. Why? because they are the ones that benefit from high end marking the most. Fitness and medical costs are through the roof and they really do need to do as much as possible to get going.
Fitness is something that is booming right now. More people than ever are looking to get fit and trying to become a better version of themselves every single day. The way they do it is through apps which they follow through on every day.
Online fitness has been BOOMING! The best way to keep learning more about it is through this site that has a lot of information on how you can keep going for success and how you can keep building yourself up every single day for weight loss and weight gain advice.
Everywhere you look is a potential Gold Mine for your MLM business when you drive around or when you are on facebook or twitter.. Even look in the yellow pages, and the Chamber of Commerce.
You will be shocked how large the market really is. HUGE!
The average city has literally hundreds and even thousands of small business owners, and they all have one thing in common:
Wanting to enlarge and multiply profits.
Try to stay within the range of 10- 25 employees to start off. This is a good number and usually the owner is in a position to make the decisions without a lot of red tape.
Start contacting the small business owners you know, and ask for their help. Ask them to take a look at your Network marketing products and services, and consider making them available to their employees at a discount. Ask if you could do a mini seminar at their place of business after hours.
And then run the idea past them of having a secondary revenue source themselves with your products.
We were blessed to recruit hundreds upon hundreds of small business owners in our group, and it really was easy, once you got your first one.
They brought in the rest into MLM and Network Marketing. And that is why that I believe that the small business owner is one of the most overlooked prospect GOLD MINES in the home business profession.
ENDLESS LEADS? Yes- and most of them cost you NOTHING! Check it OUT!

Home Business-MLM Leadership “ARE YOU ALL IN?”
home business commitment
There comes a time that there must be a DECISION in a home business that cannot be altered or changed.
It is all part of MLM Leadership and building a Team of Leaders. You cannot expect to build a team of Leaders when you are not focused like one and acting like one.
There comes a time that you have to draw a line in the sand and face the truth about Success in your home business.
It is a decision for what I call “FINAO.”
Failure Is Not An Option.
Period.
In my life, failure does not exist. Getting the wrong results does, but not failure.
Especially if you are decision bound to something.
And this will require you to possibly make some changes that you do not want to make, are you may be not aware that things need to be changed, or you simply say that you will do that you have to do to build your success in MLM.
Leadership in MLM and a home business requires a bigger than average COMMITMENT.
It requires a bigger than average DESTINY.
And it requires a bigger than average HEART connected to the Vision and the Dream. Especially with a home business.
Are you giving that in your home business?
Are you giving all you need to give in your network marketing business?
Imagine anyone starting a company in Corporate America and they say that they will give only half of what is required.
We would call that person half hearted and going nowhere.It is the same with many home business owners. They simply are not giving all that is needed to give to succeed in a home based business.
Are YOU?
Today I want to ask you what I call the Make or Break question:
Are YOU ALL IN?
Read that again.
Are YOU ALL IN?
There is a philosophy I learned years ago that you must be “ALL IN” to achieve Success that ENDURES.
You must be “ALL IN” to live a life that goes ALL OUT. READ THAT AGAIN.
This means your heart is all in the business, your thinking, your belief, your focus, and your time. You are simply not working the business, but you are LIVING the business when you work.
Are YOU ALL in or just part in ?
It is FELT in your Words.
It is SEEN in your Actions.
It SCREAMS in your Belief.
I am NOT Talking about time or a clock,. or hours. The hours are not the focus here.
I would rather someone give 3 ALL IN hours than 20 HALF IN.
The 3 would produce 100 times more than the 20 that are half hearted and barely started.
Leadership is about being ALL IN and being ALL ABOUT.
Are YOU ALL IN in your MLM and home business?
Discover the Power of Social Media prospecting for your home business!

Home Business Training- Are You a RESULTS or METHOD Person?
home business mlm results
In a home business in network marketing, Results RULE. No doubt.
So do Methods with a lot of people.
Methods are taught, discussed, argued, ignored, and engaged every day.
Unfortunately, because of the lack of apparent understanding between the 2, may folks are having a challenge with their home business.
Are you struggling? Are you having a difficult time with your home based business?
Maybe this training can help clarify what the problem is, and maybe change your perspective of who you should be and what you should focus on.
Many people today in Home business and Network Marketing do not understand why they are struggling in their mlm business.
And many folks are either because they blame the recession, the government, the profession itself.. They do what they believe they need to do, but yet their home business results are not what they want in MLM.
Is that happening to you? Are you experiencing some results that maybe well…..stink?
There are many different types of people in MLM and Network Marketing, from CEOs of Corporations, to Stay at Home Moms, to those who are just getting their careers started and even folks who are just loving connecting with new people on social media sites. And within all of these great folks, there is a secret that we discovered years ago while working a home business very hard.
There are many different types of automobiles out on the road, and many different types of outfits and suits and jeans to wear. Many of them sell well, and others not so well.
There are many different kinds of places to eat out in the world, and some make big money, and others struggle everyday to keep the doors open and the bills paid.
There are many network marketers that are out really working everyday and working very hard, and some making great money, while the largest portion of home business owners do not.
Here is a Million Dollar Question:
What is the difference between all of these great folks, and what they seemingly are doing? What makes the ones that are doing great different than the ones who are not? Many folks have given a lot of potential answers to this question in Network Marketing, and many answers truly are great!
But we at DFTI have been observing over the last 15 years how people function and live in life, and also in success. It is the same with MLM and a Home Based Business. All people want to Succeed in Network Marketing, but few actually do at the level they really want to.
It does not have to be that way.
If you will look at other similar but yet different entrepreneurial ventures, it is the same as in Real Estate and Insurance, and Stock Brokerage. All that enter into those wonderful enterprises want to make it work. And most want to make it work huge. But the truth is, most never make it work at all, as they have fallen prey to a Secret that I ran across 15 years ago, and it has made all the difference in the world as far as Success in my life I have been blessed with.
I call this amazing little secret that has guided my life for several years as well as Success:
“The RMR- Results-Method Reality.”
This little secret that made such a difference in my life, can make a huge difference in your life. It can change everything about you, and your business, and how you view life. It can change all aspects of your Network Marketing business, and even how you approach it and engage it. It can even change people around you just by being around you.
Ok, what is the “Results- Method Reality?”
Understand this:
There are two types of people in this business and two types only — Method people and Results people.
The difference between the two is huge in everything they do.
1) Method people choose the method they are willing to use and accept the results.
2) Results people choose the results they want, and accept whatever method it takes to obtain them.
Method people’s favorite song is “I did it My Way and got what I could!”
Results people’s favorite song is “Whatever I Need to do to get the Results I want!”
Method folks have a tendency to work Network Marketing on THEIR TERMS, and expect Network Marketing to bow to their ways of doing business.
MLM demands a certain concept and model of working, and being a certain mindset, and if you do not work within that concept and model, and be who you need to be, then Network Marketing can be a very frustrating experience for you.
Results people are focused totally on what results they want, while method people are focused on how they want to do this business, and what is comfortable.
Results people refuse to focus on comfort, but focus on construction. They want to construct a business no matter what it takes or how long it takes.
And the biggest difference between Results people and Method folks, is HEART.
Results people seem to have the heart to make it happen, while method people seem to have the heart to make it easier.
That alone is a Million Dollar Difference in the approach to this business. Most millionaires in Network Marketing are RESULTS people. Rare are the mlm millionaires that are Method people.
If you are going to be a powerful and successful home business leader in Network Marketing, may I suggest you become a results person, and use whatever method it takes to achieve your dreams. That is what we call “total personal leadership” — the direct result of leading and moving yourself past all the limitations you harbor in your heart, and creating things in your life as never before.
Leaders relentlessly prospect, approach, present, follow up, and sign up new people. And then they teach their distributors to go out and do the same thing, and look for the same results.
You MUST train on the methods of how to do this business, but do not get lost in that. Become a Results person, and accept whatever it takes, however long it takes,and whatever path it takes, to Succeed in Network Marketing.
If you give MLM and Network Marketing all you got, then it will in return, give you all it has.
And that is called a great answer to getting wealthy in MLM and Network Marketing. If you do own a home business, focus on taking ACTION and getting the results you WANT by doing what it TAKES for home based business success.
That is what millionaires do. Whatever it takes to get the Successful RESULTS in their home business.

Home Business Training-What EXACTLY To Say to a Negative Prospect?
home business argument
Prospects of a home business in mlm can say the darndest things. That reminds me of a kid’s show a while back, “Kids can say the Darndest things.”
But it is so true. Your home business prospect and also even family and friends can be NEGATIVE over nothing. You can take guidance of mysunrise over this.
But that is not just innate to network marketing. Every entrepreneur puts up with negheads almost on a daily basis when they are starting their business. In a Fortune magazine survey in 2001, they asked multi millionaire business owners what was their number one obstacle their first 12 months. Check these out fivebough .
Over 80% of them put friends and family. And of course prospects would fail in that category as well in a home business. It is like you just want to say to the negheads and naysayers:
“There they go again.”
One more time.
Friends and family spouting off Negative comments, input, and opinions about your home business and your MLM future. You can get so mad sometimes that you just want to walk away and say, “forget it” r something worse. You stare at them and wonder what to say or do, but yet the words of reply only get caught in your throat.
This is a battle yu will not win. People that are convinced of something do not want the facts. Been there.
You may attempt to play some form of “verbal judo,” or “word wrestling” but they have you in a head lock with their words and questions and you just slink back into the chair and can feel so defeated and dejected.
But here is the worst part and the most hurtful part to their negative comments:
They actually are starting to make sense with their logic. Or at least seem to.
You stand or sit there and just take the negative vomit.. And that is what it is spewing all over you and your home business . And you just wish you knew what to say. But you remain silent. It does make you think and wonder. And your mind starts to develop questions that can kill your home based business. And you actually start to ask these questions:
“Could they actually be right?”
“Are they telling me the truth?”
“Could they actually have a point here?”
“What if they really ARE right?”
And the doubt and the fear slowly start creeping in, and you start to question your own decisions, actions, and future.
This happens everyday in the land of home businesses and network marketing . Negative people start to try and stop you because of their own fears and insecurities and many times- they are very successful.
But it is time that cam to an abrupt halt.
Understand this:
Negative well meaning people — are still — negative. (Read that again.)
They may mean well, but there has never been any Success accomplished in any home business with a negative focus and a negative language.
So what do you do?
Here are 3 things that can say to help neutralize their negative comments when they appear out of their mouths:
1) “I appreciate that comment, but let me ask you a question: Who in the world sold you on THAT?”
2) “Thanks for sharing, but what you just said does not match up at all to what I have researched about this company and products. Would you like to see a little of my research?”
3)”That is an interesting way to look at it. There are several other ways to look at that I have found as well. Let me explain…”
And there is also a secret to doing this:
BOLD CONFIDENCE.
You KNOW that you KNOW that you KNOW and NOTHING can shake that Knowing that you are doing a great thing and will Succeed massively.
It is called the single most powerful “velvet hammer” when you answer a negative prospect. Confidence tells the negative MLM prospect that you understand that they have an “opinion” but you are not buying what they said. They will FEEL that in your words.
Most negative prospects are just that way: negative.
So you have a decision to make:
Are you going to let the negative mlm prospect influence or even dominate your business, or are you going to continue with confidence and not worry about the naysayers. the negheads, the not so hots, and the never will be’s?
It will determine much about your future success in your MLM and Network marketing business. These people have an influence over you and you may not realize it. They can either influence you to slow down or even quit, or influence you to prove them wrong and to go out and CRUSH IT.
I would suggest to ignore the negheads that are “eggheads” and move on with your business. They will NEVER pay a bill you have or really have anything positive to say about your business. Accept it and move on. You will be so glad you did as that is one of the biggest secrets to MLM network marketing and home business success.
