When YOU say YES to PURPOSE, YOU are acknowledging the following: •I know that God loves me and has a new direction for my life. •I acknowledge I am a sinner in need of a Savior – this is to repent or turn away from sin. •I believe in my heart that God raised Jesus from the dead – I trust that Jesus paid the full penalty for my sins. •I confess Jesus as my Lord and my God – this is to surrender control of my life to Jesus. •I receive Jesus as my Savior forever – this is t

When a pitch goes badly — sales pitch, investor pitch, plea for company resources, whatever — there’s usually a specific moment when it falls apart. Before that moment, your audience gives you the benefit of the doubt. After that moment, they’re tuned out. You can almost feel them turn against you. I’ve noticed that nine times out of 10, when things go south, it happens at a single, identifiable point in the story: The moment when you introduce the thing you’re pitching. Why

Word-of-mouth marketing is one of the most powerful tools in sales today, and yet, it remains deeply misunderstood and underused. In my extensive sales background, even when I’m working with highly experienced professionals, I find many can’t fully explain word-of-mouth, how to create it, or why it works. Even when they’ve previously benefited directly from it, they struggle to identify how it even happened in the first place. All they know is that word-of-mouth exists and th

You put on a suit, you shuffled some emails, you had a coffee meeting, you worked a job, etc, but you haven’t moved an inch further towards growing your business or making money. You allowed your day to be ruled by tasks and people who aren’t in your money lane, who are on your purpose train and you may not be aware and certainly not focused on your #1’s.

Many times business owners want to look at outside circumstances as the blame for low sales. They say, “the economy is slow” or “people aren’t spending like they used to”. These statements are really just excuses. The truth is that there is no shortage of money in the world. People may be more selective on who they spend their money with, but they have NOT stopped spending. So why isn’t your business bringing in the big bucks? Let’s look closer to home…If you’re not profiting

In order to attract and keep wealth, you must upgrade your money mindset. Many people go to school, work hard on their jobs, grind day in and day out…barely getting by. It’s not because they don’t make good money. It’s because you have to have a positive outlook and a positive relationship with money in order to attract more of it into your life. Wealth is a state of mind. When you learn how to have a definitive wealthy mindset, you will be able to attract it to you anytime y

Just because an opportunity presents itself, and it looks appealing, doesn’t necessarily mean it is from God. And likewise, just because an open door looks a little uncertain, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t walk through it. The key is knowing how to discern if an opportunity is really an open door from God. I don’t want to miss those open doors because I was afraid to walk through them. But I also don’t want to take every opportunity that comes along, assuming it is from God’s ha

One of the biggest challenges most business owners have is creating good content for their business blogs. I’ve visited too many blogs that were stacked with press releases and random sporadic posts and has come to the conclusion that business owners abandon or neglect their blog because they don’t know what to post. When you are writing in your niche, sometimes it may feel like you’ve run out of topics. Yet, I know from experience, when you are constantly learning and experi

You probably have an image firmly planted in your mind of what network marketing (also known as direct sales or multilevel marketing) is all about–housewives buying and selling Tupperware while gossiping and eating finger sandwiches, or a high-pressure salesperson trying to convince you how easily you can become a millionaire if only you and your friends and their friends and so on would buy and sell vitamins with him. Both of these images couldn’t be further from the reality

3 TOP NOTCH BUSINESS ASSETS One of the most popular questions I get asked whenever I talk about online business building is always about business plans. For one reason or another, the concept of a business plan, what it is, why it’s necessary and how to create your own, always seems to be a primary concern to beginner business owners and/or those who are curious about online business and thinking about starting their own. When you are first getting started creating a business

Many of us have been compelled to think that success is represented by the fancy cars, big house, designer clothes or shoes, but those things are actually the benefits of being successful. You see, success isn’t glamorous it’s quite ugly. Truth be told, it’s actually pain turned to power, doubt turned to belief, trouble turned to triumph. Real success is being able to go through obstacles no matter how hard things may get, knowing you will win in the end. Success is being abl
