DOES YOUR BUSINESS SLEEP IN QUIETER TIMES?

Many business owners are not prepared for when the phones are slower to ring in the quieter months as they were busy making money with their seasonal products and holidays where people spend more and now when they enter the quieter months hit they are n a panic to make sales.

When I ask business owners what marketing plan do they have for their business I am left with blank looks by many.
There are some businesses that have no marketing plan at all which is a worry to think that sales will stop as they try to grab customer dollars with a rush on their marketing efforts.
Marketing on social media needs to be consistent especially when you stop marketing everything stops and it takes a while to get things going again and to keep your audience engaged.
Organic traffic can sometimes take up to 3 months while strategies are put into place using local SEO and social media methods to promote your business.
Depending on the keywords used there are some keywords that are very competitive and you may never get to rank for these exact keywords as those companies with bigger dollars and who have deeper pockets will pay their way to the top of the search engine.
The answer is then to use less competitive long-tailed keywords to circulate in articles and posts that you write. Get more reviews and a whole range of strategies to use to get you seen all year round to give you a flow of customers all year round covering the quieter times.

Skills Are Cheap Passion is Priceless


I want to get very real with you and share my life’s story. I am going to take you on the journey from the very beginning of my childhood on up to the point of where I am today. The reason I am sharing the raw and honest details of my life is so that you can understand that success is not determined by your past.
Behind every successful person out there is a story filled with devastation, determination, pivotal moments and raw emotions. No matter who you are, where you’ve been, what you’ve done, it is your passion. Skills are cheap, anyone can learn how to do something, but it is your passion that is simply priceless.

Devastating Things Happened in My Life

In my book, Skills Are Cheap, Passion is Priceless, I show you snippets of the devastation and tragedy that I dealt with as a child. I talk about my drug addict father, my amazing mother, my caring grandparents, and the dad that raised me.
Later on in the book, I share about my struggle with bulimia and self-esteem. For many years, I allowed the way I looked to dictate every choice I made.
I’m not the only one that had devastating things happen in my life. Brian shares about the death of his father and how that put him on the path he took in life. He talks about the way his dad lived in his final years, made a lasting impact on him.

I’ve Always Been Determined

For me, I always had to be the best. I would never allow myself to be less than the best. So I put a lot of pressure on myself. Many people fall into this rut. They either stay in the bottom because they feel as though they can never achieve, so they don’t try. Or they are at the very top, and you can never go any lower, you have to work super hard to stay at the top all of the time because anything less would be like losing.

My Pivotal Moment

You might have heard my story of how the pivotal moment I experienced in my corporate job. The day I decided that I would never put my children in daycare. From that moment on, I knew my why. I made a vow never to put my child in daycare, all I have to do is look into her eyes and my commitment to the WHY is stronger than ever. What is your WHY?

I Became an Online Marketer

Back when I started in online marketing, we didn’t have half of the resources that we have today. Social media wasn’t even a thing, blogs were just beginning, and people were just starting to tap into the power of internet sales.
I Googled how to work from home and found so many resources. It was then that I knew I had found the way to do what I set out to do. Although…I had a lot of learning to do.

Grab your copy of my book now- Skills Are Cheap Passion is Priceless.


Learning The Hard Way

As with anything that you put your focus to, good or bad, you start to see examples and signs of it everywhere. One call back list in particular caught my eye and I decided to leave my name and phone number on it to get more information.
I put in my email address and a woman called me to tell me about the business. She asked me why I wanted it, but she was a really poor prospector, I just wanted her to get to the point. There I was, my ego was so big that I didn’t even want to listen to her, I just wanted to bypass her and get to the information. When in reality I needed that woman so badly, I needed the movement that she made, I needed her energy, and that is exactly what people do in business, they want to skip over the important stuff, which is what I did.
If only I had known that mentors play such a huge role in success. It’s not enough to just read and learn. You need someone that is 4-5 steps ahead of you to help guide you.

Business Deals Gone Bad and Finding Mentors

Sure, Brian and I were super successful in our online ventures for a while. We were bringing in unbelievable amounts of money. But then…we lost it all. Since we hadn’t brought mentors into our lives, we made really poor business decisions.
The fallout from that choice wrecked us. We were hurt and struggling. This one interview with Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer radically changed our lives.
Here’s what they said-
No one can make you upset, depressed, hurt, anxious, or fearful without your consent. The worst things in life turn out to be the most important steps that you need to take, in order to get to the next place in your life. The highest place you can get to with this individual is to practice forgiveness, instead of revenge & anger”

My Mantra

Their words meant so much to me. From that day forward, I decided to change my mindset. I developed regained my confidence and developed a manta.
Every single day, I wake up with a mantra, and I talk to myself. I either look in the mirror, or I sit and say, “Rhonda, you are an incredible leader. You inspire people to do great things in their life. You show them that everything is possible. You help more families be free. You must show more families how to get to building a life that they love.” This is the essence of belief. When you have a mantra that you tell yourself, you are teaching your brain to believe in the life you want to create for yourself.

Remembering My Why Has Made Me Unstoppable

When I started my job and said I’ll never put my child in daycare, that I was going to live out this day, perfect day, every single day, that I was going to quit my job and replace my income, I wasn’t going back. There was no plan B. That was my vow and my commitment, and she, Hanalei, became my WHY. Everything I did fueled me to get me to that next step. Everything I did I did because she was my WHY and it was robust enough to keep me motivated and disciplined. I became Unstoppable!
When you wear the word unstoppable, you hold an armor that tells you that you can. It reminds you every day to be unstoppable. Being unstoppable needs a strong ‘WHY.’ Once you have worked out your WHY everything is possible.
If you want to hear more about Brian’s and my journey, snag a copy of my book, Skills Are Cheap, Passion is Priceless. I will take you through our life and share with you the practical tips you need to develop a successful business while you live out your perfect life. Read more

Unstoppable "Freedom-Preneur" Mastermind Bali October 14 - 19th, 2016

Investing in a Mastermind is a Turning Point for 
You and Your Business

Investing in yourself is the difference between Dabbling and Committing.
You can spend time squandering your money on Half Measures or Investing Solidly in your business

What can Attending this Mastermind do for YOU?

A Mastermind is one of the most powerful tools ever used by successful people - whether the world's richest industrialists of the early 20th century or today's modern icons of business.
 It can focus its special energy on your effort - in the form of knowledge, resources, momentum and unconditional support.
Napoleon Hills Mastermind principle states "A mastermind alliance involves two or more people who work in perfect harmony for the attainment of a definite purpose "

We look forward to you becoming a part of this Mastermind 


Who is this Workshop for?
Business Owners, Entrepreneurs and Online Marketers (... anyone struggling to get results in their online business). It's also particularly relevant for new entrants to the Internet or career and life changers ... people looking for a new beginning Online and participating in the digital economy.

Strategies & Tactics You'll Master

  • learn how to build YOUR Online Business... not someone else's.
  • why co-branding doesn't work. We focus on branding "YOU Inc"
  • why 'cookie cutter' solutions won't convert your traffic. We give you funnel hacking tactics & follow up to convert your leads into sales.
  • are you feeling over-sold and under fulfilled? We provide private coaching through ongoing continuity after the event.

Many people online are being misled or are confused about what it takes to create an enduring brand and business online.

Let me ask you one simple question...

Is YOUR Business Built to Last?

Business Opportunities come and go (most fade in 3-5 years). The Internet however is not going away and it is now common place for anyone to start and grow a business online monetising a passion, a service, or a unique product they may have developed or idea they desire to commercialise.

Leverage & Multiple Streams of Income are the fundamentals for wealth creation and financial independence which can be achieved through an online business but only IF it's built correctly and built to last... and more important built around YOU.

If you want multiple streams of income your sales funnel can't tie you to one specific business opportunity or offer or any one company, product or service... otherwise you'll be forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars each time you want to promote something new... or diversify your market position.

Who are we?

Selling and Value What Do All Small Businesses Have in Common?

Selling and Value What Do All Small Businesses Have in Common?
According to the website Internet Retailer, there are upwards of 24 million businesses online, but only about 650,000 of them generate $1,000 or more annually. Not every small business in the world has a website or e-commerce functionality. The world of small business is much bigger than just what’s online. Regardless, the same strategies and principles apply to all small businesses, online or off.|The world of small business is much bigger than just what’s online. Regardless, the same strategies and principles apply to all small businesses, online or off.
Something Different
Warren Buffett is the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, which is the parent company of numerous insurance, energy, manufacturing, finance, real estate, publishing, and other businesses. A single share of Berkshire stock is currently valued at more than $200,000.
It’s a successful and well-diversified |a well-diversified and successful conglomerate. Yet, when Buffett purchased it in 1964, Berkshire Hathaway was a failing Massachusetts textile mill, known for making the linings for men’s suits. When Buffett purchased it in 1964, Berkshire Hathaway was a failing Massachusetts textile mill, known for making the linings for men’s suits. Buffett maintained that line of business for a few years before moving into other investments and eventually shutting down the textile operation.
Like Berkshire, there are many big companies around today that started out selling one kind of product or service but now do something different.
But there are small businesses too.
Away from Affiliate Marketing
There are many businesses primarily involved in showing people how to make money online. This involved teaching people how to generate traffic and the basic mechanics of getting leads and building a list. Many customers became business affiliates and marketed various products geared toward online success. Others used what they learned to market their own products.Some are just focused on “business education.”
By “business education,” I don’t mean training on how to run an internet marketing business. Rather, it means addressing the challenges that all small businesses– online or off– have in common: how to get more customers, how to increase productivity, or how to hire with confidence, just to name a few.
Final Thought
Small business owners are a much larger audience than affiliate/online marketers. We have the educational and training resources to help anyone start and grow their own business, as well as protect their assets. So, we haven’t quit the affiliate marketing business, but we’ve merely widened our gates to include all small businesses. We have shifted our focus toward education and training products that apply to and will benefit any business owner. Small business owners are a much larger audience than affiliate/online marketers.
