Celebrity endorsements — You can get paid to promote products

Celebrity endorsements — You can get paid to promote products

Comments 6 comments

Have you ever seen a celebrity on a television commercial and said, “I wonder how much they’re getting paid for this?” You can bet it’s a bunch of cash. Perhaps even more than most people will make in a lifetime. Many companies think this is a great way to advertise their product. They believe that the celebrity’s endorsement will bring enough buyers to more than make up for the money they’re paying. Now, suppose there was a company that was…

Personality types — Learning the tendencies

Personality types — Learning the tendencies

Comments 2 comments

I’ve always been fascinated with personalities. It’s always been intriguing to me to think about my personality and the personalities of others. I’ve taken a number of personality tests. I learned something from each of them. And they all came out pretty much the same, when you allow for different terminology. But I’d never seen anything that helped me learn to quickly identify personalities in other people until a little more than a year ago. Michael Dlouhy, who has since…

Isn’t it great when you think you’ve missed an opportunity to do something, and then you realize you haven’t. And it’s even greater when you understand the bigger meaning behind the realization. The other night, I went to an awesome concert by Kyle Matthews, a Christian singer and songwriter. I like his singing and piano playing, and I really enjoy his concerts. You know you’re watching a talented person when it’s just the musician and his instrument. No blinking lights….

Even minor victories make a difference. Today, I walked into the gym just as my daughter’s volleyball game was about to get started. There weren’t many people there so I was making my way up the bleachers when I noticed the referee pointing at me. Now, I’ve had my share of run-ins with referees. Let’s just say I can get a little vocal when I don’t agree with the calls. But I didn’t recognize this ref and even if I…

Financial bailout rescue plan – Find your own way out

Financial bailout rescue plan – Find your own way out

Comments 2 comments

Even the most optimistic investor is antsy today after the U.S. House of Representatives voted down a $700 billion financial bailout rescue plan for the nation’s financial sector. Some are even worried about the possibility of another Great Depression. The stock market had its biggest single drop in history, even bigger than the decline after 9-11. Since nearly everyone has money invested with some connection to market, the reason for concern is evident. Most folks can only watch as their…

Day-to-day business plan – Simple ways to get where you’re going

Day-to-day business plan – Simple ways to get where you’re going

Comments 0 Comment

Some business strategies take weeks or months to implement. But more important to your success is your day-to-day business plan. In a previous post, I talked about the problems with approaching your family and friends with your network marketing opportunity. I suggested, instead, to talk with people you meet in the course of your life. The challenge is getting people to know, like and trust you. People tend to join people they know, like and trust. The question: How do…

Simple business plan — getting paid for something you already do

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a simple business plan that paid you for something you do anyway? Good news. There is. Most people do network marketing every day. They just don’t get paid for it. Network marketing is nothing more than recommending and promoting products that you like. Nearly everyone already does that with their favorite restaurants, a good movie, a great place to shop and other things. When you hear a good joke and pass it on,…

I recently took my daughter and one of her friends to a reception and presentation hosted by Western Carolina University. My daughter and her friend are both high school juniors considering where to go to college. The event was well attended. The presentation was well done, and the school representatives were well informed and presented the university well. On the way home, I asked my daughter her favorite part of the evening. She told me it was when one of…

Persistence — vital to success

Persistence — vital to success

Comments 0 Comment

Persistence is vital to success. In network marketing, once we’ve found a system that works, we only have to keep doing the right things until success is ours. It’s a great moment when we realize that our goals are achievable. That they’re not in some far-off never, never land. If we persist, one day we’ll realize that we’re growing, and we’ll sense that success is within reach. In his classic book, “Think and Grow Rich,” Napoleon Hill says, “Sometimes it…

Have you ever given any serious thought to how you ended up in the job you have? I’ve been thinking a lot about that lately. I was talking with a friend about it the other day and he was telling me about the path that led him to his current position. I didn’t tell him this for fear of offending him, but his description unnerved me quite a bit. It seemed he ended up where he was because of a…
