Money Is Just One Big Social Agreement

money

Money is just one big social agreement.

Think about that statement.

What is money but a piece of paper?

In an alter world would it hold any value?

Or would the alien we tried to hand it to laugh at us and

think we were crazy trying to make an exchange with a valueless piece of shaved wood?

The only reason it holds value is that we as a society have agreed to use it as

a currency in our exchanges.

So a ten dollar bill is nothing more than a SOCIAL AGREEMENT …

Right?  Can you see that?

In the past societies used rocks, shells, gold, cattle, eggs, gemstones…

Whatever the people deemed to have a value.

So if  that is true…

Can we in fact turn OURSELVES into currency?

Can we turn our words, our thoughts, our voice into something we can use in

transactions to receive that which we desire?

The answer is YES.

And highly developed people have been doing this for centuries

So why not us here in the home business industry?

Right now one of the big lingo terms out in the field is “bringing value”

Everyone talks about creating content that “brings value” to the marketplace

and those that execute this concept properly find themselves at the foot of a pile

of HARD COLD CASH dropping into their inboxes every day…

WHY???

Because a few people out there figured out how to turn their voice and words into

equity and realized that all people ever really want to buy is ENERGY…

Not diet pills…

Not anti aging lotions…

Not patented nutriceuticals…

Not video phones…

Oh yes…people will buy those things…

But in the end..what people are really after is a STATE…

A FEELING.

And if you learn how to be a person who uses words to induce a feeling…

WHAMMO…

YOU BECOME THE COMMODITY.

YOU BECOME THE CURRENCY

And in a flash…

You and money are ONE.

For money is just one big social agreement.

And people come to want to exchange YOU.

Your energy, your passion, your words.

This is the secret of the masters.

These are the secrets we teach at the Million Mind March

The World ALWAYS Purges Itself of False Leaders

I was on the phone with Joe Schroeder today and he was reading me
a passage that he had written and it just BLEW ME AWAY.

It was SO true

And in fact I had just been discussing this very concept on
one of my coaching calls…

Get this:

The World ALWAYS Purges Itself Of False Leaders By Offering

Them The Taste Of Laziness And Offering Them PRIDE

I wish I had caught the next line…

I didn’t

But it was something to the effect of that when a false leader gets caught in
these traps they repulse the true leader (their teacher) and they are cast aside
by the kings and queens who held out their hand to them and in the end
the false leader will drop from prominence often to never be seen again.

I was just STUNNED as he read the phrase to me this afternoon as I was
trying to put into words some of what I have been seeing out there for the
past few years and closer to home in the past few months.

I could sit and rattle of the names of people who rose to prominence on the
internet in the Network Marketing circles almost overnight and then just as quickly
were swept away by natures fury.

I can list the people who were HERALDED not so long ago by big players
who were left behind as soon as the tide turned and they no longer had the
“mojo” that they believed they had.

Downlines lost…

Programs closed…

Innocents hurt.

I can account to you the people who swaggered around without humility

claiming to be THE NEXT COMING who are now yet a memory…

often having destroyed all the promise of their future.

Bank accounts stripped…

Egos destroyed…

Never to be recovered again.

I consider myself to be blessed that I have walked the line
between old school and new school Network Marketing.

I was brought up in a time where lineage and pedigree were considered
paramount.

Where HONOR and RESPECT for ones upline mentors and TIME and PRODUCTION got you a seat at the  suite parties at the big events where secrets were shared and stories were told.

Where HONOR and RESPECT for ones MASTER COLLEAGUES at other companies
brought the industry together. It was these MASTERS that created the products
that we all studied and recommended to folks.

Today it seems everyone believes they can spit out a product after recruiting 12 people
or getting 120 opt ins….

And better yet…

They believe they can charge MORE than the masters
who went before them.

Today so many people think they are smarter than those that have lead for a
decade or more and built huge organizations.

Today people think they are all “COACHES” who can charge innocent newbies thousands of
dollars for marketing and “leadership” training when they themselves have accomplished
very little and are often BROKE living out of studio apartments and juggling their pay per click
advertising on 6 credit cards with $30 left on each one.

Anyone who can talk a good game can run around and claim to be the article king,
the video marketing queen, the blog giant, or the goddess of social media.

And please BE CLEAR…I am NOT talking about people who today have outrageous stories
who began as broke and made it big over several years…I am one of those people.
But I did not pretend to prance around like the Queen of Sheeba after recruiting
10 people and making believe I had a clue. I POINTED TO AND SERVED THE MASTERS as
did all of my colleagues who have gone the distance.

So…

How do I say this…

How do I feel about what I see going on out there?

Let me be delicate…

Oh screw it…

I can’t control myself!

It’s all BULL

It’s all a CANCER

And it makes me ILL

How’s that for blunt.

Remember:
The World ALWAYS Purges Itself Of False Leaders

And knowing that gives me solace as I look around and see all the insanity.

But then again I am still sad as I know thousands are hurt every year.

Ladies and gentlemen…

There is only ONE PATH to mastery.

It is to sit in SERVICE to a mentor.

I want you to think about this…

Can you become a master surgeon without sitting at the feet of a master surgeon?

Can you become a master opera singer without being trained by a master opera singer?

Can you become an olympian without coaching with olympians?

Your common sense tells you NO.

And yet EGO AND PRIDE spurn people into jumping up and yelling

I got a bunch of opt ins so pay me to show you how.

I recruited 46 people so I am a master–pay me to show you how.

I’ve been in a new deal for 3 months and one time I made $10k

Pay me to show you how.

And when a false leader does this…

And so many do…

They CURSE themselves by not honoring the LEGACY of an industry.

By not honoring those that have paid their dues and done the work to create ENDURING businesses.

And while people may be able to get away with their shenanigans for a while…

Nature ALWAYS corrects herself.

The World ALWAYS Purges Itself Of False Leaders

Study history and you will know it to be TRUE.

Study a volatile industry and look to where the stability is and you

will see THE CODE behind what you seek.

What you do with that is up to you but let me leave you with this:

Proverbs 8:10-11

10 Choose my instruction instead of silver,
knowledge rather than choice gold,

11 for wisdom is more precious than rubies,
and nothing you desire can compare with her.

Everything Is A Formula (Even In Marketing)

formula

I was just watching some of Mark Hoverson’s promo videos for his new product that he is coming out with.

You know…I had the pleasure of having dinner with Mark a while ago along
with Jonathan Budd, Jason Shaver, KD Churchill, Ferny Ceballos, Ray Fong…

There was a whole crew of us.

Funny thing is that I didn’t know who Mark was at the time.

I was sitting across the table from him but had no clue of

what he had accomplished

Which is good in a way I suppose.

All these guys are JUST PEOPLE in case you have not figured it out yet…

People who make A LOT of money but never the less…people :)

And we all had an amazing time flipping ideas around.

Cool night for sure.

So any ways…

I was just watching a little bit of Mark’s promo videos…

And this after having looked over Andy Jenkins’ new

Video Boss promo videos (which BTW…if you haven’t watched yet..

RUN…NOW and watch!)

And I thought to myself…

Well, Diane…all of this just PROVES again for the millionth time

what you figured out ages ago.

EVERYTHING is a FORMULA

What often looks like chaos is absolutely NOT.

There is a formula to most everything.

Think about it…isn’t that what they always sell you?

FORMULAS

Mike Dillard is now selling the FORMULA to be an ALPHA NETWORKER

Before that he sold you the FORMULA to Attraction Marketing

Mark and Andy are selling FORMULAS for video marketing, leadership

and creating buying frenzies.

MLM Lead System Pro is selling you a FORMULA for recruiting

ray and Ferny are selling the SEO formula for your site

Your upline or your company is selling you a FORMULA

The formula I was sold by my original opportunity was

USE THE PRODUCTS

WEAR THE BUTTON

TALK TO PEOPLE

and

GET 5

who

Get 5

who

Get 5

Easy peasy…right?

We ALL bought into it.

Look around.

Everyone who is ANYONE in the industry is selling a FORMULA

I sure do…

My Home Business Immersion Training is BUILT on FORMULAS

And when I talk about formulas people THROW credit cards at me.

It’s almost unstoppable.

So I wanna ask you ….

And I REALLY want you to dig into this question.

If EVERYONE who is ANYONE is selling FORMULAS and

if you really watch them…

When THEY study…

When the BIG BOYS AND GIRLS study(and they study A LOT)

They study FORMULAS and teachers who teach FORMULAS

Then why oh why in the word are you studying and selling

Fruity Juice

Patented Neutriceuticals

Cutting edge technology

Diet pills

Anti aging potions

or anything else like that?

STOP

STAND STILL

and

THINK

Does your brain hurt yet?

Are you having an EPIPHANY?

EVERYTHING is a FORMULA

McDonalds is a FORMULA

Home Depot is a FORMULA

Barnes and Noble is a FORMULA

Nail Salons are a FORMULA

TV shows are a FORMULA

Ben and Jerry’s is a FORMULA

Becoming PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES is a FORMULA

And yet YOU are selling STUFF.

How is that working out for you?

Go ahead…SCREAM…let it out and then sing

HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!!

By george I think I’ve GOT IT!

And let me know if I can help you at all.

Me…I specialize in teaching home business owners how to get

out of the home business thought process and into the

REAL WORLD.

The FORMULAS for success are all around you everywhere you go.

YOU JUST CAN’T SEE THEM

That’s all.

But now that I have given you this BLUE’S CLUE maybe this week you can look a little harder…

Beyond the hype and excitement and truly SEE what is going on.

Everything is a FORMULA

The key is to look SO HARD and BE PATIENT that it suddenly reveals itself to you

And then making money is child’s play.

It can be for you too.

If you FIND THE FORMULAS

Apply them and in turn learn to SELL THEM.

It’s REALLY that EASY.

Attitude and Technology-A Deadly Success Mix

Here’s last night’s call with both me and Joe Schroeder

(we’ve been digging doing the calls together lately)

Joe talks about what is ATTITUDE

and I get into TECHNOLOGY…but in a totally different way than you might think.

What if you had a technology that would let you CONTROL your
behavior and activity???

As always you can find us on Mondays at 9:27 pm est

Listen here

I’ve been using amateur video for over three years now in my marketing mix and

I have to tell you…

It TOTALLY revolutionized my business.

What I thought was gonna be really hard turned out to be

amazingly easy and most importantly it CHANGED the relationship

I had with my prospects.

Sales skyrocketed and in a short period of time I became a

name in the industry (which was WAY COOL!)

Almost overnight this little housewife and

self proclaimed DIGITAL DINGBAT had cracked a code

and figured out a way to get more prospects that I

could ever talk to which is the name of the game in

the home business industry.

So if you haven’t tapped into the power of video marketing…

You need to check it out NOW.

And if you are looking for some realy cool training on how

to do video that blows people away you NEED to watch these free videos from

Andy Jekins.

If you don’t know Andy…

Well…

What do I say…

Hmmmm…

He may just be the funniest, coolest cat in internet marketing.

He was the co-owner of the EXCLUSIVE ($800 a month) Stompernet internet marketing

training organization for years and then he split to do his own thing

(which we have ALL been waiting to see what he would come out with)

And now it is here and it’s called VIDEO BOSS

And yes…this is one of those “big internet launches”

The ones I usually hate…

But I gotta tell you…

The videos that Andy is giving away are nothing short of mind numbing.

He shows you stuff that I thought was so hard and breaks it down to the

DUMB SIMPLE!

You can learn a TON from them (I know I have)

And use all his tips on what you already have going.

There are 2 videos so far and in the second one he shows you how to make

sick videos just with your computer…

NO ON CAMERA WORK

  • He shows you how to make the videos have IMPACT
  • Where to find all the cool templates so your videos look good
  • How to script the video
  • where you can get really cool  animations for pennies
  • And a bunch of other groovy stuff.

All for FREE.

So if you didn’t get the first email from me telling you about this stuff…

Go HERE now.

You can get both videos and be in the loop.

And YES…

In a week or so Andy is gonna try to SELL YOU SOMETHING

That is what we all do…right???

We have businesses and we SELL STUFF (crazy …I know!)

But even if you have no budget to buy anything at this juncture…

(And you SHOULD NOT BY ANYTHING if you are running your business in the red right now)

Even if you are not in the market to buy…

You gotta WATCH THESE

They are THAT GOOD.

All meat no sales fluff what so ever.

P.S. and BTW…It was September 2007 when I first heard Andy speak at the Stompernet

event that my girlfriend Yisel Guajardo invited me to.

I had NO IDEA what I was going to.

Here’s a goofy little video I shot there so you can see that my dates are true

Diane Hochman at Stompernet September 2007

This was when I was first starting out with video.

That weekend CHANGED everything for me as I learned to

access things on the internet that I never knew existed before.

What Andy teaches in this video is GOLD and can help you too.

So make the time and WATCH

And let me know what you think.

I’d love to have a little Video Boss dialog going on here.

I am working on my powerpoint skills as we speak so I can get into all this cool stuff.

Love to have some buddies who are turned on by this too.

P.S.S.  If you are NOT on my email list…make sure you subscribe because when Andy reveals

what he is selling (I don’t even know myself) there’s a HUGE chance that I will announce that

people who purchase through me will get a BUNCH of bonuses.

Can’t say what those might be until I have an idea of what the product is or if I even

recommend it…

Right now all I am recommending is the FREE TRAINING.

Stay tuned and we’ll see how it all plays out…TOGETHER

Joe And Diane Incite A Movement

Ok..Ok..

I KNOW this is late.

It’s Thursday and you have been waiting for this

to be up since Monday.

Yeah…

Yeah…

Yeah…

Send all complaints to shesadork@dianehochman.com

I admit it…

I have been meaning to get this up ever since we did the call

cause it was SO DARN POWERFUL and sent our sites and phone lines afire

But I just haven’t had the chance…

Plus my other excuse is that in the middle of the call the line blew out

(Too many people I guess)

And we all had to dial back in.

So I was gonna have someone splice the call together…

But that didn’t happen and I am leaving for our live event

So I am gonna put it up in 2 parts and include MP3 access so you can

download it and play with it yourself.

Maybe someone out there want to do that for me and then I will repost???

If you do… send it to Diane@DianeHochman.com

That would be awesome…

But at least you can have it now

(Yes…Joelle…I am thinking of YOU)

Enjoy…

And I warn you…

The messages are POWERFUL

Joe covers TO GO FAST… GO SLOW

And me…

I am a ball of PASSION in this one so WATCH OUT!

Part One

Part Two
