The VERY FIRST Home and Small Business Network Event



WOW…What a weekend.

I want to thank each and every one of you that attended the event.

I could not have asked for a better group!

Here are some photos in video format…more to come!

The pictures say it all.



Hochman—The Lost Footage!



I am giggling as I write the headline!

So I was cleaning out my computer and came across several videos that I cut this summer (and older ones!)
that I never edited up and published.

I guess i just forgot they were there and they got buried.

So I figured..Hey..this is like the lost treasures of the Titanic of something..right???

But seriously…this video is pretty good stuff and most of all you get to see me in the BATHTUB!!!

No Kidding!

Find out about why most people have difficulty in their business.

They are working without PERSPECTIVE.



Building Your Home Business Around Children



Here a video about how to run your home business around your kids.

A big part of my passion is to help more mothers be home with their kids.

Often when a mom starts a home business she gets overwhelmed and can not figure out how to fit it all in.

In this video I share how I did it over the last 11 years going from having little kids and bridging into having teenagers.



Starting Conversations and Finding Prospects



Join me on a back yard chat where I discuss how to start conversations with people in social media environments and how to convert these people into prospects by engaging their “NOSY GENE”



So You Say You Want To Be Something???



So you say that you want to be something…

So you say that you have something special…

Well I say PROVE IT

I say…show me what chu got baby…

I say BRING IT ON

Cause Lord knows I am looking for people…

Heck…

I’d settle for just ONE PERSON who KNOWS that they were called into this industry

to DO SOMETHING…

Not just make a buck.

So tell me…

Can you SPEAK your greatness???

Or are you scared of what others might say?

Can you STAND YOUR GROUND like a rock

Or do you wobble to and fro?

Were you BORN to lead…

Are you just one of the ducks in the row?

Do you think you need fancy dancy websites and videos…

Or have you figured out that the POWER is in YOU?

So you say you want to be something?

Then I say STAND  and let the world know you have arrived.

WATCH THIS

This is what inspired this post.



Observing The Masters



It is so gosh darn subtle…

The move of a MASTER…

The way they FLOW…

The way they coax…

The way they POSSES the HEART of the onlooker.

One day a little over 5 years ago I got an email from the MASTER that I hoped

to persuade to be my mentor.

He said to me…You must come to a get together Diane.

You must sit with GIANTS and observe them

For most of what you want to acquire can not be taught via phone (let alone webinar)

Most of what you want to posses is an attitude..a vibe…a BEING

And so I went…scared to death to sit at a dinner with a dozen powerful business owners.

Petrified that I would have a slip of the tongue and reveal that I was nothing more than a housewife.

I was sure that they would reject me…

But instead they embraced me and one by one they shared secrets and moves that had made them MILLIONS

But in the end it was still only the original master that I had traveled to see that interested me as a teacher.

Why???

Because he was the Master of the masters.

And what I didn’t know was that that evening was my AUDITION

The test to see if I had what it takes.

And he had decided that I did…and my lessons began the next morning.

And like a kid on the first day of kindergarten I showed up eager to learn and full of excitement.

And like a child..time and time again I was CORRECTED over the course of years until FINALLY I had acquired the code myself.

And today I am able to wield it.

I have been very successful and for this I am THANKFUL…

And I spend my days doing all I can to find the people that I can pass this along to.

So now for my advice to you dear reader…

Look for the subtlety…

Look for the masterful.

There will ALWAYS be young brash gladiators who will enter the field and conquer for a while.

They seem young, and sexy and successful…

But me…

I always looked for the old sage.

The one who had been in the game 10, 15, or better yet 20 years.

The one who had seen it all and had survived to tell the tales.

The ones with the WISDOM.

And the one who didn’t need to attract attention as they were power embodied.

This is so hard to understand for some…

Like I said..it is SUBTLE.

While I was going through my schooling I often asked why my master didn’t go for the ‘easy” money

Why he didn’t do a quick pitch or write a masterful sales letter as there are few who can do it quite like him…

I couldn’t understand why he would pass up such riches.

And he explained that when one TRANSCENDS the need to take money from people and moves into true STATEMANSHIP is when

his legacy will be secured.

If you KNOW you can attract a raving crowd on demand…there is no longer need to do so…

There is only need to SERVE.

And if you look around…

This industry has a lot of hot shots

A lot of  big earners

A lot of “gurus”

But VERY FEW statesmen (this is not a gender specific term)

I can count them on both of my hands.

These people…and their faithful students

These are the ones that will teach you the CODE that lasts forever…

That will be here long after Facebook is gone (and  I promise you that it WILL be gone someday)

What will you study in 2011?

It’s almost here you know.

In a blink of an eye.

What will you focus your efforts on?

A passing fad or timeless wisdom?

How to do a computer trick or how to get people to eat out of the palm of your hand?

The choice is YOURS…

But at least now you have an idea of the choices that sit in front of you.

I wish you much success in your quest.

And if I can serve you at all…

Let me know.
