Which would you prefer to have in your business, or rather which one sounds more fun…like something you would commit to and stick to:   Hustle and Hard work, or Ease,,,,flow….effortless and elegant.   Hustle and hard work are typically how we feel when we are doing something out of synch with our natural rhythm.   Easily, elegantly, and effortlessly, in the flow of life and calm sounds a lot better.   And, as someone who has worked my business from both angles, I can tell you that the latter is much more fun, lucrative and enticing to others.   Hustle and hard work lead to burn out.   Network Marketing is a volunteer business, and no one wants to volunteer for hard.   When you don’t wake up each day with a clear, understandable plan of what you need to do to move your business forward, that leaves most with a lack of confidence. You run out of people to talk to. No one responds to your social media posts. Doing constant “challenges” put you in hustle mode. And the feeling is graspy and desperate. You may know

My interview with Janine Finney, author of "The Flip Flop CEO" - Part 2. Part 1 is here! Have you ever wondered how to explain network marketing to someone with a closed mind? Or, how to approach someone you view as already super successful, who might have an interest, but you are unsure, and don’t want to feel silly or stupid when you open the conversation? Or, perhaps you are struggling with your own MLM blueprint and belief in the profession? Listen in as I am joined by a former Corporate America executive, six figure earner who was very unhappy in her corporate life, even though everything looked polished and buttoned up on the outside. Yet, she was a complete MLM skeptic. What opened her mind; how did she hit the top rank in her company in 1 year; and how might this knowledge help you do the same? Hey, if you like what you are hearing and learning on the podcast, you really should check out the Street Smart Wealth Academy. We take all of this and package it into a radical shift for you, and the way you t

Here are the skills you must master -  Get clear on what you sell, who you sell to, and how to sell to them. Online, these means developing good “success language” that speaks directly to their challenge; and your solution.  Know how to ask, answer and deliver on their questions and concerns before they even ask. Know when to take it off the public venue and offline. Don’t try to let a social conversation close your deal. Be real, be engaged, be interested. Be conversational and don’t “move in for the kill.”  Never share a link without permission. We have a tendency to want to just “spray and pray,” plastering our link everywhere we can, hoping to catch someone and “rope them in.” The problem is, you are modeling for them what you will expect and ask them to do if they join you, and most people view this as extremely spammy. You probably do, too, even if you have been guilty of doing this. Today, and for the last many years, I coach people on how to build a successful business online….  Without luck; good tim

How do I find people for my Network Marketing business? How do I share what I am doing in a way that feels authentic and not "salesy?" These are two questions I had myself; and now have answered for decades!  My short answer - you don't find them; you let them find YOU. And, here is how! In 1999, after attending an internet seminar, I saw some genuine potential in using online methods as a tool to "reverse roles" and allow those people who were interested in a home business to find me, and let me know they wanted to know more.  So, I decided to give this “Internet thingie” a go, and build a web presence, and ultimately a business online.  Lots of people lined up to tell me I was crazy; I wouldn’t be successful; it couldn’t be done. I calmly put my blinders and ear muffs on and got busy proving them wrong.  Once I was successful, people started saying I got “lucky” because I had an early start; that it was easier “back then.” Then, I was asked what I would do if the internet went away; how would I stay in busi

We tend to think of dating as what we do for a romantic partner. But, what if we shifted how we think of our prospects and becoming attractive to those in and around our business? Google defines dating: You are actively getting out there and meeting people and spending time with them. “Dating someone” means you're seeing somebody specific, with purpose and on a regular basis. ... You're spending time with a person (or persons) in hopes of finding a committed relationship.   Think about this with regard to the relationships you build in your business.   Clients. Customers Team Partners. Ambassadors for you. Most people flounder and fail in their attempt to build a successful network marketing business… Does that describe you? Are you floundering? IT’S NOT BECAUSE ANYTHING IS WRONG WITH YOU, YOUR COMPANY AND PRODUCTS, OR THE PROFESSION ITSELF. MOST PEOPLE FAIL BECAUSE THEY DON’T KNOW THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT FOR "DATING YOUR PROSPECTS.” Show Notes - https://www.streetsmartwealth.com/blog/date-network-marketing-

Here’s what my clients tell me, and I get it. Almost on the daily, they stare at their screen, spinning their wheels trying to figure out what to share on social media to create SOMETHING - a like, a comment, some interest, a Direct Message, maybe, and wow, a sale or signup would be nice. Right? Is this you? You ponder, write, edit, delete, and repeat. And nothing ever gets out there. Or, at least not consistently and not content that pulls people to you. And, you HATE how overwhelming and time consuming it is for you. You’ve purchased content calendars to give you prompts, and you start, then stop because it's starting to feel so…forced, so generic, so stale, even. You’ve probably even fallen into the trap of copying someone else’s content, maybe your upline or someone in your company, because it worked for them; it inspired you, so…. But, you didn’t get the same results. And frankly, you are exhausted trying to come up with your own clever words. Here’s what I want you to know and HEAR from me - it’s not be

We hear how important the WHY is, and that once we have that, the how will follow. How important is it really, to your network marketing success. How do you find yours, and what if you lose it, like I did? Yesterday, I kicked off my new webinar series - FirstDateMagic for Network Marketers - how to build a thriving social selling business without annoying family, friends or strangers. Can you EVEN believe that FirstDateMagic.com was still available? Grab it there! I have submitted my first week to be a teacher on Insight Timer and I am over the moon about it. I’ll let you know when I am officially on the platform. When I started my network marketing journey, I was asked what my why was. Find your why. It wasn't easy. And, it involved being home with my children no matter what. In 2009, I realized I had lost my why when my teenaged children didn't need me home any more. Goal accomplished. Now what? Recently, my WHY crystalized yet again, listen in for how! I help Network Marketers, coaches and mentors make m

Social media isn’t selling. It requires you to be SOCIAL. Posting with the “Spray and Pray” process does NOT work. Do you know the best way to get others interested in you? Be interested in them. TRULY engaged and interested. Are you liking, and more importantly commenting in an engaging way, and having real conversations with people you enjoy talking to; and who might be a perfect fit for you. Be real, be you, and don’t be graspy and loaded with an agenda in your conversations. Just connect and get to know people. Pick 10 people a day to engage with. Track it. Be consistent. They will begin to see your posts. This is how the algorithm works. Engage with them first. Get on their radar as well as Instagram or Facebook. Try it for a month and let me know how it goes. I’m pretty sure I already know the answer! I’m Jackie Ulmer, and this is your Monday Motivation minute. Learn more about me at StreetSmartWealth.com

New year, new thoughts, new hopes and dreams. So, what is it about goals and goal setting that deserves our time and attention?   It’s human nature to always have hope, possibility, and expect the potential of what might be!   Show notes - https://www.streetsmartwealth.com/blog/good-bad-goal-setting   I want to dive into goals, goal setting, the fears we have around this process, and what we really must know about goals.   One of my favorite quotes is by Jim Rohn, on goals -   The true power and success in setting a goal is the transformation, growth and learning you accomplish on the way to achieving it.   The challenge with most goal setting is:   Random thought of what we want.   No true planning before.   No planning for actually achieving it.   And, 365 days stretching ahead of us.   The problem with this much time to achieve the goal:   We procrastinate.   We forget.   We get distracted.   We let fear settle in.   Last week, we picked one big STRETCH goal for 2021. Or, at least I did. Have you?   Here’s

Ready to kick 2020 to the curb? Have much more in 2021. So, let’s do it. 1st, Create a crystal clear vision for your business and the lifestyle you want to create through your business. The "why" is the most important part of the whole equation. It doesn’t matter what type of entrepreneur you study - real estate, internet marketer, network marketer, inventor, author/speaker - and so on - the key elements to success are the same.  2nd, know your plan - Write out your daily marketing plan and do it. Take steps daily, and invest in your education, refuse to quit. You need a way to connect with new people daily; share what you do in a way that connects with them and does not spam them. 3rd, Uncover hidden challenges that are holding you back - this is where you must get very clear, very authentic and very committed to removing these roadblocks. It starts with realizing and acknowledging that NO ONE holds you back but YOU. -Push past your fear and do things that move you out of your comfort zone. What you focus on

My greatest reward from my network marketing business is the ability I had (and still have) to be there for and with my children. Even though they are both grown and gone and my son is a father himself, I never lose sight of the pure joy that brought to me, and the peaceful world it gave them to grow up in. Just a few weeks back, I was able to move a few things in my schedule and meet my daughter in New York City for 5 days, staying in a penthouse apartment 35 floors up, overlooking the Hudson, with the Statue of Liberty beckoning to me every morning and every night, right out the window. My business didn’t stop. It didn’t need to. I have set things up so that I have a truly laptop life and business, Corporate America could never offer me that. In my opinion, there is no better time or option right now than network marketing. In my opinion, and Google backs this up, it remerged as one of the most powerful business models for families today, all across the globe. What else allows moms and people to work from h

2020…it’s been a “thing”, hasn’t it? And not just one thing, but many many things. Plenty of good, bad and ugly. And, while most of us are ready for the clock to strike midnight on 12/31 and have instant change. Probably not going to happen like that. So,  let’s talk about reframing how we look back and look forward.

We do all of this together in the Street Smart Wealth Academy. Learn more at StreetSmartWealthAcademy.com We’re living through something that has never before occurred, on a global basis. Think about it; except for some remote civilizations in Africa, Australia, and elsewhere, we all wake up with one common thought daily - what’s new with Covid and what does it mean for me? I’d like to share a little of my experience these past few months, and see if any of it strikes a chord with you. For the most part, my life has been unaffected. I’ve been preparing f

Do you know how to effectively introduce yourself in a way that creates instant impact, curiosity and interest? Far too many network marketers like to use their company name as a way of explaining what they do. I hear this a lot: I do Arbonne. I’m with Herbalife. I am Team Beach Body. Do you fall into this trap? First, no one cares about your company or product names. In most cases, these names mean nothing to them. And, you miss a chance to make a connection when you fail to introduce yourself and what you do effectively. There is one thing that is always on your prospect’s mind, even subconsciously and they is - WHAT’s in it for me. What do you do, and how would it benefit me? You’re likely having that thought too, when you meet people. Show Notes: https://www.streetsmartwealth.com/blog/impact-introduction-network-marketing

Other People’s Opinions are one of the most common things that hold us back. Keep us stuck. Keep us making up stories about other people. We have deep fears about what others think and say about us. And, why is this? Do they pay our bills? Feed us? Care for our children? Are they really spending as much time thinking about us as we like to think that they are? Do you spend much time thinking about and judging what others are doing? We spend a heck of a lot of time “thinking” that other people are thinking things about us. Most of the time, we “think” that their thoughts about us are negative. Here’s a little secret - other people aren’t thinking about you as much as you think they are. People don’t spend that much time thinking outside of themselves and their own situation. Do you? Show Notes: https://www.streetsmartwealth.com/blog/network-marketing-other-peoples-opinions

Often, we struggle in getting our business started with lack of belief. We have big goals, but we can’t believe that we can make it happen. Today, I’m sharing a quick exercise so you can see how to reprogram your thoughts. When I look back on some of the things I thought would be the magic pill to build my business… Well, let’s just say I don’t do that very often. The time, the money, the energy. The gurus, the “secrets”, the challenges, the membership communities… What am I missing? Have you done this, too? If you're looking to work smarter, with less hustle and grind, let's get on a call call.StreetSmartWealth.me Your Subconscious mind is powerful. This exercise in your mind shows just how you can easily program it to believe and experience anything you want. Stories have the ability to invoke our sense, and also have the power to produce an experience in your mind that it is not currently experiencing. Listen and go through the 1 minute exercise and see what's possible. Show notes - https://www.streetsmart

Procrastination is always about something deeper. We have fears; we are uncertain; we are not feeling up for the task and so we procrastinate. When you are feeling the urge to put off, or procrastinate what you know are the tasks that will move you forward in your network marketing business, STOP. Ask - Why am I procrastinating or avoiding the action steps that I know will move my business forward? Be very open to what comes up for you. Your mind will always seek to give you the answer. Why is this stopping me? Why am I allowing this to hold me back from pursuing my goals? My hopes? My dreams? Is it a person? Who is it? Why do they matter? Is it their opinion of me? What I am doing? Who would I be and what would I do if I didn’t care about this? Now, here is the really important part - Show Notes https://www.streetsmartwealth.com/blog/overcoming-procrastination-network-marketing
