How Do I Stay Consistent in My Network Marketing Business   Hey, it’s Jackie Ulmer and welcome Q and A show 8 of the Street Smart Wealth, Profit in Your PJs Podcast, where I answer your burning questions and get you on your way to the Network Marketing Hall of Fame. SPONSOR Did you know that Social Media Mastery BackStage Pass coaching is now open? Visit SocialMediaBackstagePass.com for details.   Today’s question is….   How do I stay consistent in my business?   ANSWER   When your why is big enough, and you are truly committed. consistency is no longer an issue. That’s the short answer, and really, sums it all up. No one ever likes t hear that. They like to talk about how busy they are, and how this came up, and that happened, and their life is somehow different than everyone else’s. And, it’s not. Busy people are almost always the ones who make things happen. We all have 24 hours in the day and we all prioritize what is important to us, even subconsciously. Look where you spend your time and there you will find your top priorities. I recently received this email from a friend and follower. "I have always fizzled when trying to start up my 
business activity. Any tips, encouragement is much 
appreciated Jackie." I actually get this question a LOT, or something like 
it. Here is what I answered back, without taking a 
lot of time to think about it, because there's not
much I can SAY or DO for another.....


They have to be ready. I had to be ready when it
was my time, so I said - 'The only tips/encouragement I can give would be - "Well, how's that fizzling working for ya?" At some point, YOU have to make the choice to 
change your commitment. 


Right now, clearly, your commitment is not strong to 
build a business. Your WISH/HOPE/DESIRE may be strong, but 
those are different than commitment. 



You'll know when you are truly committed. You'll 
be back up for an hour at 2am, working on something
that was keeping you awake, like I was today.



And, you'll still feel rested in the morning. Ideas will burn 
in your mind of what to do to grow and go. That's when you'll know you are ready!"


 It really is all about commitment! In my experience, consistency is a must as you build and grow your business. Here's why: 1. Consistency provides something to track and measure. Until you have tried something new for a period of time and in a consistent manner, you can't decide if it works or not.  How do you measure your own effectiveness if what you are measuring isn't performed consistently? Set a course of action for 90 days to 6 months and see what happens WITH consistency.   2. Consistency creates accountability. I do a weekly accountability call with my team, giving them a place to show up and, well, report and be accountable. It’s like the gym, it works better when you report in to someone. Most people never show up, some show and never report; and others show up faithfully and share the good and the bad. Although, there is no bad as long as one is in action.   3. Consistency brands you and your reputation. Business growth requires a track record of success. You can't establish a track record if you are constantly shifting gears or trying new things. Pick a System, if you will and stick with it. If you are following a system others have used for success and you just aren’t seeing it, it’s YOU, not the system.   I want to Share story of Peter, who I coached on live Call. He said -   I find it hard to convey confidence that new distributors I sign can make money with Network Marketing.  Been working it pretty hard (4 years) and still my monthly check is only $150.  Not happy with that and certainly not proud of it.  Makes it difficult for me to call warm market.   My response back was to ask him about his consistency. I asked him to get out his calendar and tell me his business activities for the last day, week, month and year.

How Do I Build My MLM Business Online?   Where do I start, there is so much to sort through out there! Hey, it’s Jackie Ulmer and welcome this Q and A edition of the Street Smart Wealth, Profit in Your PJs Podcast, where I answer your burning qu...

How Do I Get People on Facebook?   Hey, it’s Jackie Ulmer and welcome the 6th edition of the Street Smart Wealth, Profit in Your PJs Podcast, where I answer your burning questions and get you on your way to the Network Marketing Hall of Fame.   SPONSOR   Did you know that Social Media Mastery BackStage Pass coaching is now open? Visit SocialMediaBackstagePass.com for details.     Today’s question is….   How do I GET PEOPLE on Facebook?     ANSWER     Good question because everyone wants to know how to use that phenomenal tool called the internet to find people who are already looking for a business? Right?   And they are out there, to the tune of over 3 million people a day who go to google and start searching. That doesn’t even include Facebook!   Here is the thing to remember about Facebook and Google and how they are different.   Google is a search engine; a place people go specifically with the intent of finding something, something they are looking for.   They sit down, they type in a word, or most often, a keyword phrase such as - how do I start a business from home. From there, they are guided to a lot of sites, videos and options to get the answers they are seeking.   Facebook is a social site where people go to hangout, to party, to reconnect, to catch up, to kill time, and so on.   How many people a day do you think go to Facebook and type in - how do I start a business from home?   Probably very few to none!   Typically, they don't have "finding a business" on the brain when they land there!   Does that mean people on Facebook aren’t looking? Of course not! Many of them ARE looking for a solution, so the key is to become attractive in their eyes. and create enough curiosity to have them click to know more.   So, it starts with creating an attractive, power profile. This is your prime real estate on Faceook. Your headshot, profile picture, your cover photo, your ABOUT  section, work and education, basic info and contact info. Keep in mind that the groups you belong to, movies you’ve watched, places you’ve been and so on are also visible.   Use that space to make yourself compelling.   Then, use your status updates and how you engage with others the same way.   Practice FORM on Facebook - Family, Occupation, Recreation and Money - what do you see other’s sharing about their lives, jobs, and where they might want to make changes? When you see something, reach out and engage, but do so over time. Don’t spam with a link, engage with a question.   “Hi Susan. I recently saw your status update about being downsized from your job and wanted to reach out. I work with several people who went through the same thing, and decided to head down the entrepreneurial path instead of looking for a job, and it has worked out well for them. They can work from home, or anywhere and no more glass ceilings. I don’t know if it would be right for you, but you should probably decide that for yourself. Would that be something you might be interested in hearing more about?"   Do the same for cities and areas where you want to expand your business or where your company might be having an event, and reach out.   But, ask engaging questions and NEVER just spam them with a link or information until they specifically say yes to learning more. Then, and ONLY then do you play your cards.   More information on this can be found at JackieUlmer.com/fbforbiz   Don’t forget about groups and pages, which are a great way to expand yourself out of your friend’s list and gain exposure from a whole new audience.   Also, eliminate the phrase - get people - from your vocabulary and even your thoughts. We aren’t out to “get anyone” but rather to create a win win with those we encounter.   Whatever you do, don’t post your opportunity link, or calls on your profile,

How To Stop Worrying About Other People's Opinions About Your Network Marketing Business   Today’s question is a juicy one, that many can relate to in Network Marketing.   SPONSOR   Did you know that Social Media Mastery BackStage Pass coaching is now open? Visit SocialMediaBackstagePass.com for details.     Today’s question is….   How do I get over being worried about what other people think about Network Marketing and my decision to join a company.   ANSWER   Boy, can I relate to THIS question. I struggled immensely with this. And, most of it was made up stuff in my own brain and mis-information.   Sometimes, when you start a Network Marketing business, you must be willing to accept a temporary loss of Social Status with some people. Oh well!   Remember this - other people’s opinions don’t pay the bills! More on this later.   I have listened to hundreds of hours of interviews by entrepreneurs, outside of network marketing and do you know most of them have gone through the exact same thing?   When they wanted to buck the corporate system and take the entrepreneurial path, they got huge resistance from parents, family members, friends and those who wanted to “protect them” from themselves.   Think of Robert Kyosaki, Rich Dad, Poor Dad. He’s “poor dad” or biological father told him to go to school, work hard, get a good education and get a good job with benefits. His rich dad, the father of a good friend was an entrepreneur and encouraged him to chart his own course.   He choose to be an entrepreneur and was met with huge resistance.   Derek Halpern, of Social Triggers shares the story of charting his own course, and starting an entertainment blog, which was not perceived as “worthy” by his parents, and others. He made $25,000 his first month and $20,000 the second month and his mom asked -   When are you going to get a real job? And, he listened and took a corporate job paying $50,000 a year. So he traded what he had made in essentially 2 months for a cubicle and the same pay for 12 months!   Yikes! Needless to say, he didn’t stick with that.   Adam Braun, a hugely successful, but more obscure entrepreneur shares the story of grabbing a steak off the plate of a junior partner in a consulting group he had just joined, when she didn’t eat it and the waiter was taking it away. It was a large corporate dinner.   Needless to say, the entire dinner group stopped and listened when she asked - DID you just take my steak?   What he learned from that lesson is - go for what you want, and show others that you are your own person, confident and self assured.   If you don’t have enemies, you haven’t stood for something.   Asking for permission is asking for denial.   Who are you asking for permission from? Often, when people ask if it’s MLM, they are just waiting for your reaction. To see how you really feel about it!   We worry about being judged by other people, but here is the deal. Even if someone passes judgement on you and your decision, it doesn’t last very long. People don’t about it every time they see you, unless you give them a reason to.     We also tend to make things up about why people don’t like Network Marketing or why they tell us no. We assume they won’t be interested and so on.   My negative blueprint stems from My first experience was as a 12-13 year old, when my Uncle joined Amway and talked to my family about it. I was not around for the conversation but what I remember is my mom, his sister and their other sister, not having a lot of positive to say about it.   What I made up in my mind is that it is bad. Don't know why, but join a Network Marketing company and your family will talk about you.   Now, interestingly, I contacted my mom a few weeks back to ask about that whole experience and why they were so negative about it. Here was her response.  

How Do I Talk to People Without An Agenda   Welcome to today's show, and a great question! This is Episode 4 - do you have a question for the show? Ask it at JackieUlmer.com/questions   SPONSOR   Did you know that Social Media Mastery BackStage Pass coaching is now open? Visit SocialMediaBackstagePass.com for details.   Today’s question is….   How do I talk to people without feeling like I have an agenda.   ANSWER   Well, ask yourself - DO you have an agenda and if so, what is it? Write it down and sort through it?   This Network Marketing business is about planting seeds, that sprout and grow into trees that give shade to people you will never know.   Let THAT be your agenda.   What you don’t want to do is always be thinking about what you will get if they join your Network Marketing business? What YOU will make, and so on.   Think of how it can change THEIR life?   Their history…   Their family tree….for generations to come.   You are not asking for a favor, you are offering an opportunity, and believe it!   Every person who has ever made money in the network marketing profession will tell you that they are GRATEFUL to the person who introduced them. Indebted to them, even.   If you go into every conversation and remember that your prospect is asking - what’s in it for me, and you stop asking yourself the same question, you’ll see your results soar.   We don’t want anyone who can fog a mirror. We want those for whom the time is right - NOW. And, we keep in touch in case it becomes right later on.   It never feels good to have an agenda, so let go of any agenda. It’s not about you. It’s only ever about you when YOU are taking a look. When YOU decide to join.   Once that’s done, it always comes down to how you can serve the person in front of you, right now!   Let your agenda become one of - How might I serve you? Where are you in your life right now and what is best for you based on that?   Do this, and it will come back to you!   That is why blatant pitching of your opportunity doesn’t do well on Social Media - it doesn’t really attract the type of person you want long term in your business. Why? Well, do you see an agenda written in those pitches?   Most have nothing to do with - find a need and offer a solution.   Success in sales, and yes, I am sorry, but we are in sales. Not pushy aggressive sale, but rather the type of sales that is the top of the game. Sales is one of the highest paid professions in the world, and yet people run from the word.   Think of it this way - don’t you LOVE it when you are sold something you REALLY want, in a fantastic way? Do you have a good feeling then, about sales? And what you bought?   Seek to provide the same in your business!   Good luck!   Do you have a question?

From Prison to Success on Global Stages An Interview With Lisa Grossmann   Welcome back, and today’s interview is POWERFUL! You simply must hear this story. Shut off all other distractions and get ready!   From running a successful family business, to finding network marketing, to troubles with the federal government,  to court, to a shocking sentence, to prison, to success again, now a speaker and trainer on a worldwide stage.   You think you have challenges in your business?   When I first met Lisa, it was March, 2013 at the Association of Network Marketing Professionals event in Dallas, where we both spoke on the Social Media Panel. Somehow, I had missed her name in the MLM profession until about a year earlier.   Listening to an interview she did with Eric Worre, I became intrigued to meet and get to know this strong, yet gentle, ambitious, yet kind, seasoned and sweet person.   Today, the opportunity to interview her and draw out a little of her story brings me huge joy and a sense of satisfaction! SHOW SPONSOR:   BuildingLocalWithSocialMedia.com - Many people who go online do so to reach outside of their local area, but imagine the team you could build using tools of the internet right in your own backyard. Their are dozens, hundreds even thousands of people who are right in your city or town, who are looking for an answer to the financial crunch; they are looking for the solution you offer. But, how do you find them? Today, with Meetup.com, Facebook and LinkedIn, you can find, network with and get to know some very viable prospects before you EVER set foot outside of your home! Learn more over at BuildingLocalWithSocialMedia.com Let me tell you a little about Lisa. Lisa Grossmann began her business career working in a family owned traditional business.   In 1988, she was introduced to Network Marketing. She had the good fortune to become part of a company that in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s was a starting point for where some of the greatest network marketing professionals of today began their careers. As she worked her way up through the compensation program in that first company, she was working hand in hand with the best of the best.   Lisa has since become known throughout the industry as an elite professional. She and her business partner, Curtis Broome, are Black Diamonds with an international company and have an organization of more than 150,000 worldwide generating a 7 figure annual income for their position.   However, in addition to being a top performer and annual million dollar earner, she fully understands the business side of the profession to such an extent that she is constantly sought out by companies and leadership for her insight, guidance and coaching expertise.   In early 2008, Lisa and Curtis co-founded Your Vision Partners, Inc. Together they continue to consult for multiple companies on domestic and international expansion, product development and operations as well as provide in-depth training for company executives, top field leadership and their teams on the foundations of success in the NWM profession.   Lisa's Success Quote -  Eleanor Roosevelt - Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people.   Great minds are rare, about innovating  and work toward helping people and moving things forward; and average people get caught up in things, events, gossip and drama, which is what Lisa believes holds most people back from being what they can be. What you need to change on a daily basis to improve one’s position.   Before network marketing, she was a mom, and involved in a family business that she did not love, and felt that getting into a family business is   When you win the rat race, you are still a rat.   What it looks like on the outside to own a business is not always what it is on the inside. How did you find Network Marketing, Lisa?  

Do I Lead With My Network Marketing Product or Opportunity?   Hey, it’s Jackie Ulmer and welcome this Q and A edition of the Street Smart Wealth, Profit in Your PJs Podcast, where I answer your burning questions and get you on your way to the Network Marketing Hall of Fame.   SPONSOR   Did you know that Social Media Mastery BackStage Pass coaching is now open? Visit SocialMediaBackstagePass.com for details.   Today’s question is….   Do I lead with the product or opportunity, especially building online, with a blog.   India wants to know!   ANSWER     Begin with the end in mind. What is your “Most wanted response?”   Lead with the product, you get customers FIRST.   Lead with Opportunity - you attract those looking for a business.   First let’s cover that question offline and then move online.   Offline, it’s best to lead with common sense and “where you are with the prospect.”   When making your list, you take each person individually and decide how you want to lead, and again, what is your most wanted response?   Let’s take weight loss. A high demand market, for sure, but also touchy, depending on how you are approaching it.   “Hey, would you be interested in losing 15 pounds in 10 days?” You will get some interest, and you might also offend some people. Especially women. We are sensitive to that, typically!   Now, consider this though - what if you set up a booth at a bridal show - And led with the product - Be your ideal weight in time for your wedding.   You might get the bride, her attendants, mothers and more involved and interested in that one. And, then what if you took it a step further and mentioned that she might want to become a distributor and market these great products to her bridal party and other friends, and make enough to pay cash for a honeymoon?   I can’t tell you how many people I have met in network marketing and party plan who joined a company to make enough for the honeymoon. I’ve seen them at shows and networking events I have attended. They are HIGHLY motivated because they have a BIG why.   You could wear a t-shirt to the gym or anywhere and see what happens. Web decals on cars and so on.   Now, let’s talk online -   We know that over 3 million a day go online looking for a business. Can they find you?   How many go online looking for your product?I don’t know, but in certain product lines - weight loss - it is in HIGH demand and also highly competitive.   But, what if you took the same approach that I mentioned offline? What of you targeted groups, pages and areas in social media for brides? What if you created Youtube videos, and took the same approach, leading with the product and back ending with “make money for your honeymoon.”   You NEVER run out of prospects because people get engaged and married every day. LOTS of them, all around the globe!   The same is true for leading with the business, you just have to research the target areas online. Think of devout followers of Robert Kyosaki, Rich Dad, Poor Dad - they are prime for network marketing because he nonchalantly endorses it with many other methods.   Real estate investors can be the same.   You mentioned the blog, and that’s a great place to write articles and blog posts that target keywords and then take those posts and market them on Social Media. Don’t wait for google to find you - get out there and spread the word.   And, also determine what you are best suited to communicate on, both in status updates and out on social media as well as blog posts and what you write.   That’s an ongoing question - what to lead with. Everyone has an opinion and there is not a right or wrong. I know top income earners from both sides. It’s really more about you, your passion and your tenacity!   Good luck.   Do you have a question? Ask it at JackieUlmer.com/questions

Help! My Spouse Does Not Support Me!   Hello and welcome to the FIRST episode of this NEW edition of the Street Smart Wealth, Profit in Your PJs Podcast, where I answer your burning questions and get you on your way to the Network Marketing Hall of Fame. Yes, I am now doing a short, Q and A podcast Mon-Fri, except for Thursdays, which is my regular show. I was getting so many great questions and thought it might be fun for me, and good for you to have short clips to learn from, store in your arsenal for future use, and we’ll see how it goes! I hope you enjoy this addition! Did you know that Social Media Mastery BackStage Pass coaching is now open? Visit SocialMediaBackstagePass.com for details.   Today’s question is….   I’m really trying in my business, but how do I deal with an unsupportive spouse? ANSWER This can be a doozy, so some questions to ask yourself - Does my spouse support me in most areas? What other areas does he or she not support me? In my gut, what do I feel this lack of support is based around? Have I tried other “things” spent other “money” and not been successful? IF so, why was I not successful? Be honest. Did I really go all in, give it everything? Have their been multiple things? Does my spouse understand how my business works? Understand Network Marketing? Is it just a lack of education? Have you asked to sit down and go through it with an open mind to at least understanding it? Robert Kyosaki and Donald Trump wrote - Why We Want You to be Rich: Two Men, One Message, The Business School: For People Who Like Helping People, The Business of the 21st Century - all of these books are either about, or have chapters that profile Network Marketing in a very positive light. Create a space where he/she can see beyond the hype and propaganda some reps put on MLM. Robert Allen, John Gray, Brian Tracy, to name a few big names - all involved in Network Marketing as distributors for a company. Make a decision, and I mean a REAL decision. Decide if you are all in, and then schedule a family meeting. Sit down, and share your goals, your reasons, your heartfelt desires and let them know what you would most like from them, how they can support you, and what you would like to do, as a family and a “team” when you start making money. No hype, no BS, just real, raw and committed. Then, listen. Answer questions and DO NOT get defensive. Most often, the break down is in communicating effectively. He said/she said and everyone assumes. Lots of things. Share what you intend to do, write out a business plan that’s based around your actions and activities. That’s all you can control. But, and here is the Big BUT - be ready to commit to that plan. Don’t be a talker. Talk is cheap. Be an action taker! I do promise you this, when you can “show them the money” - things can begin to change. Not for everyone, because with some, it’s a much deeper issue. But for most, success, in the form of monetary compensation has a way of turning the biggest of skeptics into happy believers! Good luck Do you have a question?

Creating Your Success Stories in Network Marketing     Today, we are going to cover the power in developing stories and becoming a good story teller. You’ve heard it before - Facts tell, stories sell. And, yet think how many times we are tempted to blurt out nothing but the facts and features of what we are offering. Think of good story tellers you’ve known in your life; maybe someone in your family, a favorite teacher and so on. As you are building rapport with people and building on those relationships, the stories you share about your life and how they relate to your business. Every time I share a story from my day or my life in a blog post or to my email list, I sponsor several people. I don’t always know what it is about that story that brings them in closer, but there is always something in every story that strikes a chord.   You will learn how to create a solid story to share so you can handle that question - How is it working for you? Once you can handle this question, you are well on your way to what you want. You’ll learn the importance in what you say and how you say it, so you don’t come off as salesy or like a telemarketer, which can be our worst fear, right?     Show Sponsor:   IDLife just launched is already breaking industry records for growth. ID stands for individually designed.

I am super skeptical as I have been burned many times. Can this really work?   Good question, and here was my answer. When you say - Can this really work - what do you mean exactly?   Online? Well, I've sponsored over 1700 people personally, all who came to me, so I would have to say - yes, it works - IF you work.   And, I work it DAILY with a consistent plan of action.   Like Network Marketing, many ask this question - right? And, we know that it works for those who WORK it. Same with the online piece.   It's not overnight; it's not get rich quick; it takes hard work and action; being willing to try, fail and so on, but it is SO worth it!   Hope that helps!   Okay, on to stories!     As I mentioned, The stories about life that I correlate to my business and share to my email list and own my blog generated a ton of feedback! And new sign ups for my business!   Benefits, woven into stories you share, will build you a booming business. Think about people you remember from your past - teachers and college professors. Chances are you remember them from the stories they shared, maybe not what they taught or even their names. My sociology professor in college comes to mind for me. I never had any interest in going into sociology as a profession, but the study of humans is a great past time - think people watching. He shared vivid, colorful stories a year long sabbatical he took on a grant where he lived on the streets as a homeless person in Phoenix and LA, just to mix, mingle and learn why for many people.

The Cure For the "Comparison Hangover"   Welcome to today's podcast, and a topic you can probably relate to, if not now, at least some time in your past.... Comparing yourself to others, and then feeling down in the dumps over it.

I’ve done it, I’m guessing most everyone has done it. Drooling over someone else’s work or success or SOMETHING and then thinking we don’t measure up. We start wishing we were just a little more like them.

You aren’t as good as so and so…   How come YOU aren’t at the top level of your company?   You don’t have what it takes…   You should just stick to what you know…   Blah, blah, blah.   What you really need to do is Spend some time where life really happens. Right here, right now, where reality hangs out. What goes on in your mind is a dream…a nightmare really….and it can derail you.   Don’t let your stories turn into realities.   Here is the interesting dynamic -   It is IMPORTANT that you surround yourself with people who are successful, and in fact, more successful than you. And, it is equally as important that you appreciate what you can learn from these people and how you can be inspired. Competition is healthy.   And, NOT to fall into comparing yourself, because this is ALWAYS a no win.

Interview with Party Plan Pro Deb Bixler   In today's podcast, you are going to learn some great techniques for both Party Plan businesses as well as straight Network Marketing.
