DON’T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE TO OUR ENEWSLETTER – THE FORM IS ON THE TOP RIGHT!

As an entrepreneur, Sales Rep, Network Marketer, member of Direct Sales, whatever the case may be for YOU, we have all experienced ONE WORD that sometimes stops us in our tracks…”NO”.

We can learn much from the Psalms, here’s some HOPE for you from 31:24 – “Be strong and take courage, all you who put your hope in the Lord!”

HOPE = confident expectation; EXPECT it any day now…you are NOT limited to your present circumstances (Marilyn Meberg on Hope & Humor)

There are Ten Commandments and I last shared number six with you…so I am sure some of you have been wondering, and even asked, “Where are the FINAL FOUR?” The anticipation is killing you, right?

I came to realize that the links, for even me, were LOTS to go through, look at and determine when, where, why and WHICH to implement. So, I decided to give you a little break…and yes, the Final Four WILL be shared with you. I wouldn’t leave you out on the cold, lost, or in the dark and wondering WHAT they might be. HEAVENS NO!!!

I want you to take a quick inventory…ARE YOU READY???

How many of these COMMANDMENTS have you implemented?

What is your FAVORITE tip so far?

How is it working for you?

What advise can you enlighten us with since you are IMPLEMENTING and ACTING upon what is shared so far?

I would like to have those USING the information to post comments below. This is a place to NOT keep to yourself but to enhance the abilities and opportunities of the other readers by providing feedback. Think about it and then post away!!!

I wonder…how many read this and were thinking of SPORTS???  I know that would be my husband’s first thought…and you know, there are a lot of lessons we can learn from sports that apply to business and being an entrepreneur, small business owner, etc. In addition, there are tips for networking for more business that can also be applied off the court or field to business.

I’m saving those lessons for another post…so keep reading and stay tuned.

Thank you, again, for reading my blog. I hope it is impacting your business and your outlook on life…and you are excited about the RESULTS of your efforts in the coming months.

In the meantime, from my family to yours, “we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!”

(and yes, there is MORE to come so check back often)…

If you enjoy networking then you must enjoy socializing! (If you are thinking, “no, not really,” then get ready for a new way of thinking!!!)

That’s good because the next commandment for SEO focuses on you being social….Social Bookmarking, that is!

Remember, the tips you are learning here should not just be applied to your BLOG but also to your wall posts, notes, status updates, tweets and more. As you read on, don’t forget to think long-term, future-focused, and GROWING your network. After all, if you are about networking for more business, then you need to embrace the power of the internet to assist you in this voyage. I guarantee it makes things MUCH more easier, enjoyable…AND PROFITABLE!

The Third Commandment – Thou Shalt Submit Daily Blog to Social Bookmarks

The exact keyword string that you identify for your blog’s title will be used in each submission. Change up the description for each submission.

Here are the angels of Google that will help you ascend in the rankings and find a home in Google Heaven:

For the complete list of Social Bookmark Sites go here.

MY TAKE ON THIS: TRUE!!! (are you beginning to see a pattern here…?)

When I first looked at this list I was overwhelmed! Did you get that, too…and then to see there were MORE?!? I mean, who has the time to bookmark every single one of these sites with the blog I just posted or note I created, or or or…ANYTHING!  I am an entrepreneur in business by myself and would love to have an army of Web gurus at my beck and call to assist me with Search Engine Optimization, Keyword Searches, blogging, Bookmarking…and all of the things I know I SHOULD BE doing but just don’t have the time. I mean, WHO DOES???

WHEW – now that I got that off of my chest, let’s take a step back and look at what IS possible…

If there are a few of these that work best for you, then commit to using those. With each site you have to create a profile, setup your website, add the links and do hours of work, right?  Well…sort of. You could do it yourself or, again, you can do what you love and pay someone to assist with the minor details, like bookmarking (I will reference oDesk.com here again in case you missed it in a previous post talking about how you can outsource the things you need done but don’t want to or can’t afford to spend hundreds or thousands on finding someone locally to assist).

Why does he reference CHANGING the description with each submission?  Can you guess?

It will be seen as duplicate data and the additional posts could be ignored. You don’t want that to happen as it would be a waste of your time then, had you used multiple social bookmarking sites with the same content. A tip I learned from Nitro Marketing is to change every 3^rd word. HOW EASY IS THAT?!? If you want the post to be relevant and for your content to be noticed and bookmarked (duh), then try this easy approach and see how it works for you!  If you want to commit more time and energy to each social bookmarking site then go ahead and redo the entire description.  That takes a creative person with many hours of time available for the devotion of “practice” content. (LOL) For the rest of us, more power to the third WORD approach, right?!?

Next, we visit The Fourth Commandment…I hope you have already considered some of the tips shared here and MAYBE EVEN implemented a few of the ideas. If you are looking to be a master networker online (or offline), sometimes you have to embrace new ideas! (Okay, not sometimes, we ALWAYS need to look at ideas with an open-mind and see which are applicable to us…now and/or in the future).

Until then,…happy bookmarking and networking!!!

Profits are better than wages. Wages make you a living; profits make you a fortune. ~ Jim Rohn
(and now you know another reason I am an Entrepreneur!!!)

Most every business owner, manager, marketer, entrepreneur, and sales person has heard of, read, and been inspired by Jim Rohn. He is a legend!

(For those that didn’t know Jim prior to his passing on December 5th, or this is the first time you have heard of the legend, his death was not sudden as he has been sick for sometime and on many prayer lists.)

As a master networker, Jim Rohn authored books with many greats who you also are familiar with and others who are just getting started that will make a lasting impression on not only America, but the world!  Jim co-authored “Twelve Pillars” with Chris Widener who is a phenomenal author himself, and motivator. (I am happy to link you to Chris through a PERSONAL introduction. If that is of interest simply email me.)

If you look at ANY Social Site you are linked to, be it YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace or LinkedIn, over the past few days you will have noticed posts relative to his passing. I am hear to tell you that Jim Rohn is a man of God and so we needn’t worry about where he is or how his life ended. He is healed, happy, and in heaven. (Can I get an Amen?!?)

I hope you will watch a few of the videos online that share the teachings of Jim Rohn, as well as embrace his approach to life, business, and relationships. He was a man of integrity, honor, and grace…someone we can all learn a thing or two from.  You will be inspired in a new way from all he has to say as his legacy WILL live on for years to come, and isn’t that something we each aspire to attain? A living legacy that impacts generations even after our passing??? WOW!!!

I find this excerpt from his site to be touching and MOTIVATING:
We know Mr. Rohn is looking down on us at this very moment with a smile saying I did it, I gave it my all, I went for it, now it’s your turn. Go for it. Make your life a life worth living well!

That being said, here are a few Jim Rohn quotes I hope touch your life:

Humans have the remarkable ability to get exactly what they must have. But there is a difference between a “must” and a “want.”

Most homes valued at over $250,000 have a library. That should tell us something.

Don’t use your mind for a filing cabinet. Use your mind to work out problems and find answers; file away good ideas in your journal.

Women have an incredible ability to pick up on emotional signals. For example, there are some wolves that are so clever they have learned to dress up like sheep. Man says, “Looks like a sheep. Talks like a sheep.” Woman says, “Ain’t no sheep!”

These quotes are by Jim Rohn, America’s Foremost Business Philosopher.
