Because It’s Worth It



So I just finished up day 5 of a 7 day immersion program that I am going through.

It’s GRUELING

We begin at 8 am and end at 7pm  but tonight I got done at nine as I had to

go back for a video shoot.

I’m exhausted….

Have been exhausted since the day I got here…

And yet I am EXILERATED.

Why?

Because I KNOW what I can do for people with what I am learning this week.

And I know that I am setting my team up for 2011 by acquiring these skills.

And it truly excites me.

Let me ask you…

Have you ever gotten OBSESSED with something?

For many folks they haven’t been obsessed or in LOVE since they were kids.

They have forgotten what it is like to want to do something 24 hours a day…

No food or sleep needed.

Can you remember????

Was it skateboarding?

Was it video games???

Was it the Back Street Boys or New Kids on The Block…

Or if you are old like me…

The Bay City Rollers???

Or maybe the girl with the locker next to yours

or the cute guy in Spanish class.

If you close your eyes can you FEEL the PASSION you had?

Can you recall the way it felt?

So many people ask me…

Diane…

How do you do what you do?

How can you keep going with all the people for hours on end?

How do you pump out the content and never get sick of what you are doing?

Why are you always so damn excited???

Well now you know…

Now you know why I would fly across the country to learn certain skills

and subject myself to these long, painful days…

For the same reason that you did what you did when you were a kid OVER AND OVER AGAIN…

Because it’s BLISS.

Joy…

Happiness.

And when you find that place in YOUR BUSINESS…

Where you are doing something you LOVE so much that it’s not work at all…

THAT is when the money will come.

No guru can do that for you.

No trainer can train you for this.

I wish I could…but I can’t do that for you…

(and believe me…I have tried SO HARD to do this for people)

Only you can find the business that brings you BLISS.

And when you find it …

It would be my HONOR to help you grow that business.

And you will be stunned at what you can endure when you find just the right spot FOR YOU.

And all of a sudden you will KNOW why people like me do what we do.

We do it because IT’S WORTH IT.



To Believe Or Not To Believe…THAT Is The Question



Recently I posted a video slide show with some great pictures from my
past 4 years of business.

In the video was a great song…

I think it’s called I Believe In Me and it was provided by the
service I use to make those snappy videos

You can hear it here if you missed it.

So anyway…

Most interesting thing happened.

I kept getting emails asking me about the song…

Where did I find it…

How do you get it etc.

And the requests really made me stop dead in my tracks

Why was this song so darn appealing???

Why did everyone want it…

And why is it so darn hard for people to believe in themselves?

And if we do not believe in ourselves are we setting ourselves up

for failure when we begin a home or small business???

It may sound airy fairy but aren’t these questions more pressing

than how to generate 10,000 leads a day or how to optimize our wordpress blogs?

For deep down inside if  we don’t believe in ourselves aren’t we just TELEGRAPHING that

in every marketing piece we turn out?

My mentor taught me that in order to be successful we were responsible for

building ourselves to be TEN FEET TALL AND BULLET PROOF.

He taught me that until I believed my own sh#t that no matrer how hard we worked

that no one else would believe us either.

And over the last 11 years I have worked very hard on all my skill sets but

the thing I have always worked hardest on was ME and my SELF BELIEF.

So tonight as I get ready to turn in I wanted to tell you that I have the FORMULA

to becoming the person you want to become…LIKE A ROCK…never wavering and FEARLESS

And that answer lies in a little yellow book and a community of CRAZY PEOPLE that

are consistently BUILDING THEMSELVES and their buddies up.

I carry this sucker with me pretty much 24/7 and depend on it like I depend on AIR.

Want a copy?

Call 800 772-9781 ext 10 and find out how you can get a copy and 4 cds (24 hour msg)

for a few bucks and then COMMIT to use it EVERYDAY for 30 days and watch what happens.

If you do decide to get the book make sure you tell em that I sent you so that we can take good care of you.

And of course so I can make sure you get invited to all the secret “brainwashing” calls <wink>

And hey…

It’s up to you…

You can spend $13 here for a complete mind changing system or spend another

grand or two on a marketing launch.

You decide.

I just wanted to make sure you that you knew where I get my STRENGTH from.

It sure as heck was NEVER a marketing course.

Everything lied in the self work.

The magic sat right inside of ME…

And I promise you that you have possessed your own magic all along.

Just no one gave you the key to unlock it.

I am today.

To believe me  or not to believe me…

That is the question this fine day.

And that is YOUR CHOICE.



Do You Smell Like “Cheese”



Can they smell you from a mile away???

I mean SERIOUSLY…

Can you prospects SMELL YOU?

And if they can…

Do you smell like CHEESE????

Yup…like a CHEESY salesman!!!

Let me ask you this…

If I peek at your Facebook or blog can I tell within a split second
that you are gonna try to SELL ME SOMETHING?

Can I tell what YOU are all about and everything that YOU want ME to
do withing moments of spying you?

Is your page covered in links and banners that scream “BUY MY STUFF”???

Does what you put on the internet trigger your prospect’s SPIDEY SENSE and tell them to

RUN AWAY…RUN AWAY!!!!!

Something to think about this week…

Am I telegraphing my self centered objectives to everyone I come in contact with on the web…

And if so…is it impacting my business???

And when will I become the GO TO PERSON for the hoards of people that I could TOTALLY help
if I would just let go of the AGENDA?

It all boils down to…

Do I want to make a buck…

Or do I want to become a RESOURCE to people and INSURE that I make a living FOREVER.

Do you want to be known as someone who has stood the test of time

Or will you fade away and be known as the CHEESIEST???



Diane Hochman Don’t Flash!



Have you ever watched em on the internet???

Screaming and shouting about how many leads they have generated or how
much money they are making???

Always makes me laugh.

Come opt in on my site and I’ll show you how to make $1622.42 a day with my secret formula!

Learn the hidden technique that will allow you to collect 364 leads a day!!!

I made FOUR MILLION DOLLARS last week—You can too!

Put in 151 reps in ONE HOUR

I call this FLASHING.

Yep…THAT kind of flashing..the kind you do in New Orleans to get beads

The kind that young drunk chicks do in night clubs after a few too many shots.

You know what I am talking about.

And think about it…who is most often found flashing out there???

Young people who are under the influence of a SUBSTANCE who will often REGRET

what they did in the morning.

Me…

I just don’t flash.

PERIOD

You will never catch me screaming about how much money I make

How many people I recruited and/or

How many leads I generated.

1) It’s just not classy…would your mama flash???

2) You can tell by the way I carry myself that I DO THE DO…I have no need to scream it at you.

3) What happens to girls that flash?  They often find themselves in the AM with someone they wish they weren’t with.

THINK ABOUT IT

Who you gonna recruit if you shout that stuff?

People who are looking for a buck…

And when it doesn’t show up in a week due to their lack of skill what happens?

They LEAVE.

And now there are a few of you that think you know better…

And you are thinking…yeah but i sold them my funded proposal and I made money on them…

Well that’s great…

But it is getting you any closer to the life you dream of???

The residuals you need to walk away and the stability you need to protect your family?

Or are you dependent on the next $2k hit???

And when you are desperate and you need the money cause rent is due…

Who will you hurt to get it?

A single mother who is risking her last dime?

A retired couple who got wiped out in the stock market crash?

As I said…Flashing is done by young people (you may be older in years but young in the industry)

who are under the influence of a SUBSTANCE (in this case GREED)

NOPE…

Diane Hochman don’t flash and I hope you adopt a no flash policy too.

I don’t ever want you to wake up in the morning and think to yourself…

WHAT DID I DO???

And roll over with your greed hangover and pull the covers over your head thus ending your

home business career.

The high road my be slower but I promise you that the scenery is MUCH nicer.

And in the end…

The high road leads to FREEDOM.

Not freedom for a week, a month or a year…but a LIFETIME.

So pull your shirt down and THINK before you flash…

Yes I know it seems like the cool kids are doing it…

But let’s get together in a year and see how many of those kids are still in the game.

I’ll lay my bet on NOT MANY.

Let YOU be the one that is still standing…

Cause the name of the game is STAY ALIVE.

And the last man standing WINS

Who Do You Love?



After a series of conversations today I felt it was a good
idea to throw up this video from over 2 years ago.

I watch so many people trying to make money yet they are missing one key element.

Take a walk back in time with me and watch this one.

It may make a difference.

<script src=”http://forms.aweber.com/form/26/1763969426.js”></script>



It’s All About The People



I just put this together..

It’s a series of pictures from over the last 4 years.

The thing I love MOST about what I do is THE PEOPLE.

Meeting people who help me reach my goals…and meeting people

who I can help to reach theirs.

Watch closely and see who you can spot!

Labor Day Flash Back(Where I Was Three Years Ago)



I am sitting here getting ready to head out with my family for Labor Day Weekend.

If you know me at all you know that holidays are a big deal to me and
often I do a call or a video to mark the occasion

But today I thought it might be fun to take a look back and see where I was a few years ago.

This video was cut Labor Day weekend 2007

So much has changed for me since then and yet if you listen to the message it is

EXACTLY what I would say to you today if I were to cut a video.

Watch…and think a bit this weekend.

And if you are still in the labor force…

Why not COMMIT to making this the LAST Labor Day where you are one of the workers.

It’s possible.

Thousands of us have broken free.

You can too.

Enjoy your weekend.

Much love,

Diane

P.S. Here’s a BONUS

This call was recorded a few days later.

It was from The Million Mind March which was then called The Warriors Nest.

In it I talk about how MONEY IS ALL AROUND YOU.

Again…so much had changed since then and yet if you listen to the call

the message has NEVER changed…

In fact…if you listen..I actually predict what has happened over the last 3 years.

What falls from your lips becomes TRUE.

I chose to stand in front of crowds of people three years ago and DECLARE.

And here I am today.

Connecting With “Your People” (Target Market)



This week I have been speaking with folks all about finding their passion and

identifying THEIR PEOPLE—Their target market.

Today I got a great letter from someone and I asked the gal if it was ok to

create a response that I could share with everyone.

Unfortunately I did a screen capture and found out afterwards that the copy was

illegible but the audio is good so I am posting it anyway and you can see the copy here

The question was:

Ok,

so I know what I need to do, and I think you are watching me thinking why am I not doing it.

But you hit it right on… Wednesday (which is such a huge help Diane!!!!) that I don’t know my passion or

my people.

I think I got clearer then on who I am talking to when you spoke about the target market.

Lately I saw that I enjoy helping others brainstorm on how to build a list and create a funnel.

Ironically that is what I am working on.

I think that my people are: Frustrated online Marketers (and this is what I am not 100% clear about)

Do I need to be even more specific?

Mother’s with children, homeschooling mothers, stay at home mothers (but I am really good with men??)

I think that my keywords are:

sales funnels

list building

social media list building

using social media for business

online marketing

building a business online

etc

Any thoughts, ideas?

What I want you guys to understand is that I am NOT discounting the importance

of learning about key words and all that good stuff…

But that when you mose in passion and you move in service you will be STUNNED at

how people seem to find you and how you can learn almost anything and how

others who FEEL your passion show up to help you get your message out.

Why not try it for a while.

DECIDE to be consistent in getting your message out.

Become the GO TO PERSON for your target market and find out just how quickly they will find you.

It can literally be almost OVERNIGHT
