I don’t get emotional about business.

I don’t feel like someone doesn’t like me if they don’t join me.

I don’t think people are mad at me if I don’t join them.

I do not cry myself to sleep if someone quits…

It’s business…

And business is not emotional.

At least not for me…

And I hope you work on making it not for you either.

Because if we are driven by the opinion of others…by social consensus…by what makes people “happy” then we are severely strangling our ability to make a profit and earn a living.

It’s not personal…it’s just BUSINESS.

And the sooner you learn that the sooner you will progress.

Just some friendly advice from your BIG SISTER in the industry.

Just for today try to do business without trying to make buddies.

You will see that it makes a BIG difference.

Wanna learn how to market your home business the EASY way?

Wanna figure out how to fit all you need to learn into your busy days?

Listen to this Drive Time With Diane clip as I explain how I did it.

Another Drive Time With Diane clip where it’s just you and me in my car talking marketing.

This time I am talking about the biggest mistake most marketers make….

Talking TOO MUCH.

Learn how to close more often.

Here’s another Drive Time With Diane quick clip where I talk about how you can Shake Your Groove Thing and get people to follow you.

Building your energy and attracting people through it is totally the way to take your business to the next level.

Do you ever get caught up?

I mean…

Do you ever get really caught up in all the madness?

Have you gotten SO involved in social media…

In getting friends and followers…

In building nerve centers and learning SEO

Ever get caught up in selling a few nickle and dime affiliate dohickeys and making ten bucks…

That somehow…

Someway…

You forgot what is was that you started out to do?

I mean really…

Ask yourself…

Am I getting closer to the goal I had when I started…

Or am I wading deeper and deeper into the marketing quagmire

That SO MANY of my social media buddies are getting stuck in
like quicksand?

I mean…

I know you have a great blog and all…

But did you actually make any money this week?

Did you actually make any presentations for your program this week?

Did you sign anyone up?

Serious…between you and me…

DID YOU???

Sting a little bit?

I thought it might.

It is SO DARN EASY to get caught up in all the STUFF

That you forget the DESIRED OUTCOME of your activity.

Remember once upon a time you wanted to create a residual income
so you could stay home…

But somehow that slipped away and now you are a busy beaver working
at all kinds of things…

And MAN O MAN are they cool things.

Let’s face it…

The stakes are higher these days…

And if you don’t have a fully optimized wordpress blog
with an amazing theme plus custom graphics and a matching set
for your Twitter and YouTube…

Well basically…

If you don’t got that stuff you are a LEPER.

So you stay up all night for weeks on end…

Beat your head against the wall

And actually learn it all…

Which is SO FREEKEN AWESOME

Except for one thing….

You ain’t made a presentation for weeks…

Your upline is pissed…

Your check is tanking

Your wife wants to kill you and

Your kids don’t remember who the heck you are…

But DAMN you got a cool blog!!!!

Just a little something to think on…

A friendly public service announcement from the
Digital Dork That Could

As Steven Covey says…

You need to begin with the end in mind.

For if you forget your outcome for just a quick minute

You can wind up pretty off course and with all kinds of skills
that will be useless a decade from now.

Never forget…

Network Marketing is a business of PEOPLE

Learning how to maneuver people.

And I haven’t met a blog yet that can do it.

An excellent copywriter with a hot blog…

YUP

And excellent speaker with a blog

YUP

Any kind of off the hook COMMUNICATOR with a blog…

OH YEAH!

Average guy with cool blog…

Zilch…

Zippo…

Nada.

Which is pretty much the same at the contents of his bank account.

*******************************
Advice for the ages
*******************************

Spend more time on understanding the people than the technology.

Do that…

And you have a shot.

And now my conclusion to you my fine friend.

You pioneer doer…

I know you are cause you wouldn’t have read down this far if you weren’t…

Your answer for 2010 and beyond lies NOT
in Social Media…

But in
Social Psychology

Take a look around at every leader that has ever graced this industry
and you’ll know my words are true.

All the best to you…

Love,

Your Technically Challenged Buddy Who Cracked the Code

(Hint: YOU CAN TOO)

Does the idea of creating content for your home business freak you out?

Did you get into the industry just to make a few bucks and now they want you to be an author???

Listen to this quick audio that I cut while in the car…It will help you put all of this into perspective.

2007…

Almost 5 years ago.

Long before I was ever on the cover of Better Networker.

Long before I spoke at No Excuses and Live the Dream…

I spoke my world into existence.

I begged my mentor to let me get on HIS conference line
and speak to HIS audience…and I spoke my world into existence.

I spoke like I WAS the leader.

I spoke like I had a million people listening to me.

I spoke like I was a QUEEN when in reality I was
just a little more than a peasant.

I ran my mouth and I let everything in me fall from my lips.

I spoke my world into existence.

What are YOU letting fall from your lips?

Greatness or mediocrity?

Do you inspire?

Do you lead?

Or do you…like the myriad of others in the sea of the home business world…

SEEK…

And

Question…

And tell people with your very breath that you are NOT their leader?

That you are NOT the one to follow.

Think about it.

Would you like to hear that audio?

Would you like to hear young Diane Hochman in 2007
letting it rip?

Can you ignore the books and cds I am referring to as they are no longer available and just LISTEN to the spirit in me?

If so…Go HERE to get your audio.

And witness me speaking my world into existence.

This is a video I cut over a year ago that I think is important to pull out again.

Lately I am seeing a lot of students that are struggling with starting conversations with people on the internet.

Here are some of the techniques I use to meet people, start conversations and eventually drive them to opt in on one of my sites.

I just found this.

I had no idea it was on the net.

Somehow it had slipped past me for 4 months.

One of my customers Ira Funderburk was on a bonus training call I did for people who purchased a particular product.

I remember this call distinctly as it turned into a magical festival of marketing….

A stream of consciousness where I just flowed for hours on end braking down complex marketing equations into child’s play.

So in any case I guess Ira was so excited after the call he sat down and cut this video.

THIS is what a testimonial should sound like.

Not another one of those BS videos where people are just saying “whatever” to appease a buddy or worse..

To get a testimonial back.

You may notice that I do not roll out a lot of those types of videos…

Why?

Because they are just not AUTHENTIC and I’d rather have one REAL testimonial that a hundred fake ones.

People can tell the difference.

And I want you to think about how you want to present yourself in the marketplace.

In a domain filled with parrots and false documentation you’ll find that the people that are REALLY “doing the do” have no need to pull out screen shots of “cascading commissions” and trick people into recording “endorsements”

Ira…if you see this…I appreciate you. And as always…It’s an honor to talk marketing with a PRO like you.

Stop false marketing practices.

Stop playing follow the leader.

WORK, TRAIN AND FLOURISH and your testimonials will come.

And when they do you will feel satisfaction in KNOWING that you have helped another.

You can’t fool people and you can’t skate the system.

What goes around comes around.

Make a decision today to take the HIGH ROAD.

You will be THRILLED that you did.
