Do You Know What SUCCESS Looks Like?

By Emma on August 7, 2010 No Comments

I’m here in Austin with my Business Partner Stevi Sullivan and it’s our first day here in Austin, TX for our Magnetic Sponsoring Elite Mastermind with Mike Dillard.

It was a very exciting morning! Gary and Garrett took me to Long Beach Airport and as I sat at the waiting area, I suddenly missed them. I was leaving again them again for the weekend to spend time Masterminding with a gentleman who started me off the right path to internet marketing, Mike Dillard.

Getting on my Jet Blue Flight In Long Beach, CA

It dawned on me that I am going back to where I was in June of 2008 when I first got introduced to Magnetic Sponsoring or the concept of being an “Alpha Networker”. Prior to reading this book, I have always thought that for me to build a success online business I just need to sell. I never understood what attraction marketing meant and I had no clue on what it meant to “brand myself as a leader”.

As I realized the sacrifices of time and money I had to make to come back to Austin, TX for this Mastermind, a thought dawned on me… I haven’t read Magnetic Sponsoring in months! It was time to revisit it..

So, on my 2 1/2 hour flight from Long Beach, CA to Austin, TX, I immersed myself in reading Magnetic Sponsoring and Building On A Budget and Copywriter’s Guild (yes, if you click on the highlighted words it will direct you to live links that are affiliate links where I could potentially make some money if you purchase the course). I wondered to myself, why did I not re-read these courses sooner? It would have saved me a lot of headaches! And if these courses did something so life changing for me, then I have a responsibility to share them with you, and here is the major epiphany:

IF I GET PAID FOR THE VALUE I PUT OUT THERE, THERE REALLY IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT, IS THERE?

I’ve always known that by holding back the resources we know could help others, we are doing our friends and our audience a disservice…

It was so amazing that there were nuggets in there that are so relevant still to this day and I read it from a different perspective… A perspective with more certainty, more confidence, more clarity…

I then realized something… Finally, after 2 years, I have actually become the ALPHA NETWORKER Mike described in the book and I was so ready to step into that greatness and get out of my own way!

Now, I don’t know the exact time I became one because I totally forgot what one looked like!

There was a surge of satisfaction that came over me with this realization. I felt like somehow, I have arrived…

My question to you is “Do You Know What Success Looks Like?” Success doesn’t necessarily mean money… it means different things to different people.

What does success mean to me? It’s being in a position where I am capable of making a difference in entrepreneur’s lives. Enabling them the share their life’s message, so they too can positively impact others and by doing so, getting paid in proportion to the value we contribute in the marketplace.

Take the time to answer the question… “What does SUCCESS look like for you?” It is important you can somehow answer this question because if you don’t, success just might pass you by…

Investing In “YOU, Inc”… What’s On Your Christmas List?

By Emma on December 7, 2009 2 Comments

I looked at the calendar this morning and almost panicked! It’s 18 days before Christmas and truthfully, my Christmas cards haven’t been sent and I have not done one ounce of shopping! This is not normal for me because I normally have my Christmas cards ordered by September as I have been hand assembling them for the past 10 years. However, with 400 cards to send this year, hand assembling is not a possibility anymore…

Yes, I have many, many things I would love to buy for myself and my family this Christmas. This is normally the time when we splurge on ourselves, we make a list of what we really, really love to have – the things we can’t “live without” and this is when we sit down to plan the vacations we’ll be taking the next year.

Interestingly enough when my husband ask me what I wanted for Christmas this year, I was able to honestly say “Thanks Honey, but I don’t need anything…” Seriously, this is the first time ever when I was able to say that…

Oh please, don’t get me wrong… inside this empowered entrepreneur is still a “girly-girl” who likes nice things like a couple of nice Gucci and Louis Vuitton purses, a cashmere blanket, a Shamina shawl, the latest Ugg boots and let’s not even go to the latest gadgets in technology… possibly a brand new touch screen computer with the biggest memory and the faster processor available. Oh and did I say hiring an interior designer to re-decorate and re-paint our home? How about an appointment with a personal shopper at Neiman Marcus and leave with at least 3 great suits or outfits? And what about my annual make-over appointment at the Chanel counter for the latest in colors for the next 2 seasons? And what about my favorite sales reps at David Yurman and Tiffany jewelry whom I haven’t seen in a long time? Oh and that Oyster Perpetual Datejust Rolex or that Chopard watch with the dancing diamonds? A Tumi suitcase set, perhaps?

It’s so interesting that only a year or so ago, I have spent money on frivolous things and really enjoyed every minute of it! But for the past year, I have made a conscious choice to do one thing: TO INVEST IN MYSELF… By investing in myself, I know that I can go back to the things I love acquiring and what’s more is that I will able to continue to give more and continue to make a difference in people’s lives! I am proud to say that at a time when we didn’t have enough money, giving was something we never cut back on… it was a priority in our lives! Even our accountant couldn’t really understand that… We understand the Law Of Reaping and Sowing… if you want to be able to give huge amounts of money later, you need to start giving small amounts NOW!

So, I didn’t get any of those things I have mentioned which normally would have been on this year’s list. You’re probably wondering what took their place on my Christmas list? Well, here they are:

1) Joel Bauer’s Persuasion Power System: $2,997
2) Tracy Repchuk’s Millionaire Mastermind – $4,000
3) Coaching Cognition by Renegade Professional – $1,495
4) Jorge Bueno’s Funding Your Passion Business Codex – $397
5) New Macbook Pro +++ – $2,200
6) Internet Marketers’ Carribean Cruise – $2,000
7) Russell Brunson’s MicroContinuity – $ 600
Raymond Aaron’s Monthly Mentor – $2,600
TOTAL: $16,289

These expenses are just in the last few months… this doesn’t include the many trips and events I attended and the ongoing community memberships I have– Traffic Geyser, Braveheart Women, etc. Not to mention I already own practically all of Mike Dillard’s products and am an ongoing member of the Association of Better Networker.

So, what’s my point in all these? People come to me and ask me all the time – “Wow Emma, you’re so lucky… people and leaders are drawn to you… how do you do that?” Well, I guess the answer is simple: I CHOSE TO CONTINUE TO INVEST IN MYSELF because by doing so, I am investing in my business and it shows that I proactively take action. If you honestly believe that “You are the brand” (which I was so blessed to have learned from Mike Dillard early on), you will stop and think and make wise choices on how to spend your money. By investing in myself, I am investing in my long term success… the fancy stuff can wait because ultimately I will have them all! I just chose to delay instant gratification for long term gain!

Do you have to spend as much to get the same results? Absolutely not! We all are at different stages in our personal and business lives. Only you would know what your needs are.

The reality is that when you have limited resources, you need to be able to choose which ones will grow your brand and your business. If you noticed, I invested in Systems and Coaches… everyone needs a coach! A coach needs a coach… every successful person has a coach or a mentor.

If you don’t have one, find one quick! I happen to have a video sharing who my Mentors are and you’re all welcome to check all of them out! www.TheRelationalMarketer.com/Mentors

So now I ask you… what’s on your Christmas list?

Perhaps it’s time to re-think where you’ll spend your resources and invest in You, Inc. instead…

The Result Of My 14-Day Challenge… Joel Bauer’s Own Testimonial About Me!

By Emma on November 13, 2009 No Comments

My life had a complete transformation in the past 3 weeks, eversince I met Joel Bauer at Passion 2 Profit. Thanks to my friend Moriah Diamond who gave me 1 of the VIP tickets that she had for the event.

What did Joel and that event do for me? It reminded me of the deeper reason on why I do what I do… I am passionate about seeing entrepreneurs succeed! I feel a huge sense of responsibility to encourage them and equip them with the skills and the tools to succeed but I felt like I need to learn more before my message can be heard loud and clear!

Joel Bauer has made me realize the gift of “heartsuasion” – that when you come from a place of genuinely helping people, what you have inside is good enough!

That event opened a new and bigger chapter in my life – because of that, Joel Bauer took notice of me and invited me to participate in his LIVE product shoot at Palm Springs Studios together wtih Jorge Bueno, another Master Marketer. On top of that, Joel created this very encouraging testmionial about me! Such testimonials from Joel are rather rare!

So what’s next? I am finally creating my own product – something that I know will help entrepreneurs achieve success via an effective, profitable and powerful online presence! I will teach them to be easily understood and to build powerful relationships they didn’t think possible before!
