Diane's Thoughts Archives

It’s as old as the hills…

Heck…

It’s genetic…

It’s Biblical

People will ALWAYS be attracted to “sexy”

People will always be attracted to INSTANT

People will always be attracted to “Buy Now-Pay Later”

And I completely understand why…

Heck…

I was the QUEEN of something for nothing deals back in the day.

I ran myself BROKE and FAT trying to get SKINNY and RICH with little to no work.

And I do mean broke.

We are talking $40k in credit card debt and

knowing all the debt collectors on a first name basis.

And I do mean fat.

We’re talking over 100 pounds of extra “junk in my trunk”

If there was a Lose Weight Fast  program or pill out there…

I bought it.

Diet books, Tony Little Gazelles, Deal a Meals

You get the picture.

And for getting rich we had the Dave Del Dotto real Estate course

Tony Robbins low cost seminars where I bought THOUSANDS of dollars worth of stuff

that I was SURE would give me what I wanted in 90 days or less…

All kinds of stuff.

Man O MAN did the direct marketers LOVE me.

I swear they had a red star next to my name on their mailing lists

The gold star stood for SHE’LL BUY ANYTHING!!!

So yes…I too was attracted to sexy..

Instant

and OVERNIGHT.

But here’s where it get’s STRANGE.

What would be the #1 thing I would buy into…

Me..the fat broke chick….

Well…what else but a deal where I could get rich and skinny at the SAME TIME of course!!!

And so it all began.

Ten years ago.

When I got into a weight loss MLM.

But here is where things became DIFFERENT than lat time.

Within 6 months of beginning the deal I was introduced to something I had never

experienced before….

Prosperity PHILOSOPHY

And just like being attracted to sexy and instant is as old as the hills

So is PROSPERITY CONSCIOUSNESS

Go read Proverbs…

Go read Confuscious

And so I began a quest to trace back success principles and to study

with some of the most prominent “business philosophers” out there.

Because I quickly came to understand that the definition of “sexy”

will ALWAYS change…and therefore leave those that use “sexy” as their attractor factor

high and dry pretty darn quickly…

Where prosperity priciples are TIMELESS

And in the end this is where LASTING success lies.

IN THOUGHT

IN UNDERSTANDING

IN WISDOM

The crazy part is that learning these principles was in fact the lazyest and quickest thing I could have done

as now money is no longer an issue and it is almost effortless to produce.

It’s actually FUN!  Kind of a GAME.

True prosperity is moving into PASSION where you spend your days doing what you LOVE

and income streams towards you from all angles.

True prosperity is when you can see income opportunites all around you that you could never see before.

(This is why most of the GURU types end up in so many arenas…they can SEE money everywhere)

This is why we see those that study the prosperity principles constantly attract all the best partners and venues for

income production where so many others STRUGGLE or have one success and then fade from the forefront.

People will always be attracted to “sexy”

Nothing can stop that

Used to get me very frustrated to see so many good people

fall for things that I knew would be gone in a short period of time…

But now I accept what will never change.

But what I do know…

Is that with maturity what ones sees as “sexy” changes.

Who a man wants to date and who a man wants to marry are often very different women.

Where a new marketer wants to begin his career and where he wants to build his lasting  entity

are often two very different things as well.

And so I began to look for MATURE people who could see

just how darn “sexy” what I have to offer is.

FREEDOM is sexy no matter what century we are in.

It was in 1783

It was in 1865

It was in 1968

And it is in 2010 and beyond.

It’s just the definitions that change.

And it is my opinion that today and in the future

Freedom will not be about a call to arms

Or a sit in at a lunch counter

It will be about freedom of BEING

And freedom of finances-

SELF SUFFICIENCY

And those things are VERY sexy

As they lie in a man’s THOUGHT

Just as Napoleon Hill and Wallace Wattles described 100 years ago.

Your FREEDOM…

And ALL that is TRULY sexy in life…

Lies in THOUGHT.

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.

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

Wine And Food GALORE!

Wow…what a weekend.

I just got back from the Sun Winefest

My gosh was it amazing!

By day it was a wine tasting extrordinaire…

By night I got to attend 2 very elegant events full

of celebrity chefs…amazing food, wine pairings…

And the dessert…OH MY!!!!

I’m throwing up some pictures here…

Sorry for the quality.

Many of them were taken on a cell phone

But you’ll get the idea :)

Hard Ball Or Soft Ball–Your Choice

Every once n a while we have a CRAZY offer over at The Million Mind March.

Now me…

I am not much of a” PITCHER” in the one on one sense…

Yeah…

I can do a pretty crazy conference call and put on a show like no other…

Across the kitchen table…

Well…

Take a look at the pic below and this testimonial

Joe,

I just wanted write and say thank you. This following may sound a bit outlandish, but it’s absolutely true…

For six years I struggled in networking. Lost tons of money, NEVER built an organization,and sponsored fewer than 10 people in 6 years. Then one day I stumbled across an old training article of yours online.

Whether by fate or accident, it was like finding the Holy Grail of networking.

I picked up your books and your tapes and I went on to basically “memorize” every page and every word of your training that I could find.

Here is what happened over the following 12 months…

When I found your material, I was 26 years old and waiting tables at a local Chinese restaurant.

Less than a year later, I’m making over $30,000 a month.

Sponsoring new reps is now so easy, I rarely even do it unless I just “get a whim to”.

I’ve even made over $12,000 in less than 24 hours using what I learned from you.

But here’s the ironic part… I did ALL of this without having a single conversation with you… Your written material is that powerful.

I can honestly say that: “Everything I learned about Netwo*rk Mar*keting, I learned from Joe Schroeder and it changed my life.”

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Mike Dillard

Fat

Look at me…

This was me circa 1999

Notice where I am…

Can you tell by the colors…

YUP…

It’s McDonalds.

That was my regular hangout…

Letting my babies play in the playplace

And stuffing quarter pounders with cheese down my throat
hoping no one would see …

One or two is normal…

FOUR…

Not so normal.

I was sick…

I was DYING inside…

But there was a little tiny part of my heart that was still beating…

And it came alive that November when I stepped into the home business industry.

Like a FOOL I thought…

Hey…maybe I’ll lose 100 pounds and learn to make a bunch of money.

Fast forward 10 years later…

Fast forward to this VERY DAY

And I am beside myself.

Truly beside myself today.

If you have been following my emails you know I have had a lot going on this week.

I decided last minute to share with you guys the SECRET WEAPON
that I have been using for years that has helped me go from a housewife with a nice
network marketing diet pill business to a name and face in the industry.

I have been honored to be interviewed by John Milton Fogg
Author of the Greatest Networker for one of his FAMOUS Mastermind Sessions

And I was so darn excited when Mike Dillard invited me to be a featured trainer
at BetterNetworker.com the largest Networking site on the net(to the best of my knowledge)

I have been able to go places and meet people that I never dreamed possible.

I mean scroll back up…seriously…

LOOK AT ME

A dumpy housewife

Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed that any of this was possible for me.

And today…

And I am teary as I write this…

I hit another milestone in my career.

When I decided to share the news about my Traffic Secret Weapon it was just a goof.

It was an amazing deal… much better than I had been paying…

And I thought…hey..I can help a few people by tossing in a great mastermind
group and a spot in my private IMMERSION Training that I will have going on
in January ..that alone was a $1500 value so it was just win-win for people

And I was kinda toodling around…just fooling around with the offer a bit
when Brian Zimmerman…the Secret Weapon’s newest success poster child
contacted me and said…hey…I’d love to come do a call with you Diane…

To show people how this works…Straight up with no hype…

And I said SURE B…you have such an inspiring story…let’s share it…

And then I found out that the SECRET WEAPON tossed in a bonus that
made me SCREAM because it was so FREEKEN exciting.

That was last night…

And you can find the recording HERE

And it was GREAT!!!

I am sure we helped a few people BELIEVE that
ANYTHING is possible for them…

Again…

LOOK AT ME

Look at that pic!!!!!

Who would have bet on me back then???

NO ONE

And Brian…man..he was at the DEPTHS…25…BROKE and living on
someones couch…and this is a man who was a MARINE

His story is incredible …

Listen to it

You will be floored.

And all of this…well this was good enough…

A great night in my life where we share some great LOVE

And gave hope to people…

Especially at Christmastime.

But this is why I am TEARY EYED right now…

I woke up this morning to a bunch of CONGRATULATIONS emails.

And I was like…WHAT’S UP…

HUH…

And then I found out that overnight something wonderful had happened.

A bunch of the people on the call decided to purchase the Secret Weapon
cause they wanted the tool and also all the f.ree hands on coaching I was offering

And LO AND BEHOLD…

And my LORD this moves me to my core…

This little dumpy housewife was up on the TOP AFFILIATES BOARD
sandwiched in between Frank Kern and Paul Colligan.

Now if you don’t know who these guys are…

They are MAJOR PLAYERS on the net…

And let me tell you…

This is not some rinky dink outfit with a few bo peep guys grinding out a $20
affiliate check…

We are talking top players here like Shaun Casey, John Carlton, Brian Tracy

I mean BIG DOGS.

So first of all…

THANK YOU to all of you who decided to team up with me for 2010.

THANK YOU to all of you who have believed in me.

THANK YOU to all of you who have cheered me on today with emails,
tweets and Facebook greetings.

I am just so flabbergasted…

Stunned that what started as a goof on Tuesday afternoon turned into
something AMAZING by today…

And since things are NOT OVER and the SECRET WEAPON owners
keep adding more stuff I want to invite you to take a peek and I now know we
are gonna have a CRAZY mastermind group of people going nuts for
the new year…

I am gonna show you all my Secret Weapon tricks so you can rock and roll

PLUS if you come play with us you will get a F REE spot in my 6 week DAILY
Immersion Group which is JUST SILLY.

Now I heard thorough the grapevine that the Secret Weapon owners were gonna
close this out tonight but they are extending it and adding a Q and A webinar tomorrow

Which is WAY COOL

AND…

If budget was an issue they are adding A PAYMENT PLAN!!!!!!!!!

So let me close this crazy long letter with this…

I LOVE all you guys.

And I have committed the last 4 years of my life to helping people
find their way in this CRAZY industry.

The winds of change are HERE and NOW and there is a new wave coming.

I am UP ON MY SURF BOARD ready for it to carry me to the MOON and beyond.

The DUMPY LITTLE HOUSEWIFE WHO COULD!!!

They say it ain’t over till the fat lady sings…

Well I am SINGING RIGHT NOW

The Fat Lady

Please..I BEG YOU…Unsubscribe!

So today I get not the first but the second VERY NEGATIVE
letter from a guy who is on my list.

Tuesday he took the time to write me and criticize how I ran my
Monday night conference call…

Which BTW…was JAM PACKED with people getting knocked
off due to over capacity crowd.

But this fella…

Who doesn’t know me from a hole in the ground took the time to

write me and inform me that he and his two friends who listened in

didn’t like the way I do my meet and greet and that they disapproved

of the fact that I actually spent time greeting my guests and that

I didn’t get right to “the business at hand” for TEN WHOLE MINUTES!

He made it clear the he didn’t like my style and that he was SURE

that ALL the new people felt that way.

(I wonder who appointed him spokesperson for all the new people..but I digesss)

So of course as always we delivered a jam packed hour of mind bending

training JEMS absolutely FREE to the public and the crowd wanted to stay for more..

But ok…

I admit..the way I do it is not for everyone…

And I am QUITE cool with that.

As the song goes…

I GOTTA BE ME

I GOTTA BE ME

It’s MY business and I do MY calls MY way.

I have fun…

I adore the people…

And get this…

I actually make a living at this :)

So anyway…

I wrote the guy back and told him it’s not for everyone but that
how we do it at The Million Mind March

Sorry it wasn’t for you..

No harm no foul

But that I wasn’t gonna change the style that has worked for me for

all these years.

So ok..

All good…

I am not a match for him..

Which is fine.

My mantra for the last 9 years had been…

“I am looking for people who are looking for me”

I got that quote from the Great Joe Schroeder and I have

held it close to my heart all these years…

Totally one of the keys to my success.

So just when I think this episode is over this person sends

me yet ANOTHER negative email criticizing the fact that I sent out

an offer for a tool that I use that had a time limited special.

Not MY special..but their special…and YES..it had a time limit.

I sent it out in case anyone on my list wanted it before the offer

was over and I also included a FREE option for those on a budget.

Damn I am a manipulative sales person…aren’t I?

So my buddy…Let’s call him “Know It All Joe” it he told me that time sensitive

offers are so “2005″ And that he was turned off by it.

(Oh NO!!!  I turned him off again)

(And BTW…go ask Dr. Cialdini if time limited offers work…ask Mike Filsaime…ask Frank Kern)

Again I digress…

So then he had the nerve to call the folks that work with me “minions”

And he insulted their intelligence.

And lastly he indicated that if I wanted to do business with HIM

that I needed to schedule a time to talk

I am sure at this time he was planning to TRAIN ME UP on

how to do business and all…

As his claim to fame was being at the top of the heap at Ryze

(remember that one kids…back in the stone age)

So here is my response…

I make it publicly…

*******************************************************

Letter begins here:

*******************************************************

Dear Know It All Joe…

PLEASE…

I BEG YOU

Unsubscribe.

GET OUT…

And don’t let the door hit you on the tushie as it swings closed.

You don’t like my style…cool…

Don’t listen

You don’t like my offers and training…

Again…UNSUBSCRIBE

But how dare you INSULT my colleagues.

Go ahead…throw stones at me..

I can handle it…

But when you insult the people who are my business family..

And also my subscribers..

Sorry…

Party’s over…

You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here!

I have built this business over ten years of blood, sweat and tears

and most of all LOVE

And I do not need a KNOW IT ALL to come tell me how to run

MY business…not today…not ever.

Let me close with this dear Joe…

I once heard a training by the Great Dale Calvert.

He taught me that the day I learned to

SCRATCH PEOPLE OFF MY LIST

was the day my business would change.

Picked that one up long ago.

Been using it ever since.

So please…

CONSIDER YOURSELF SCRATCHED.

Blessings on you and best wishes for success,

Diane Hochman

Note to all my “minions”

You slow minded people <wink> who hang out with me…

You un-savvy children who are attracted to my brand of business insanity

My “Marchers” who believe in something more…

If ANYONE ever does this to you…

Starting today…

If ANYONE dares to throw criticism at you like this…

Starting today…

You tell them to GET OUT

UNSUBSCRIBE

Stop coming to calls

And you NEVER respond to that person again.

This is YOUR business.

YOUR WORLD

YOUR DOMAIN

And from this day forth…commit to NEVER let anyone like this into your bubble again.

You don’t need em…

Cause if you are looking for people that are looking for YOU…

And you never put up with stuff like this again…

The universe will tilt…

The angels will sing…

And you will get all you want and MORE

And everyday…begin and end with gratitude.

Because believe it or not…

I am SO grateful to Know It ALL Joe…

He is a DIVINE teacher

For he inspired this post

And he increased my LOVE for what I do and who I AM

And he increased my commitment to helping those that

HEAR MY SONG.

Freeken hilarious.

Just too much I tell you!!!

There’s a stupid new trend in this industry every 3 weeks it seems.

And this month is NO EXCEPTION.

Seems like all of a sudden everyone is bashing social media and saying…

Hey everybody…

Look over here…

Social media is SO OVER…

I have something NEW to sell you because by now you have figured out
that what you were sold isn’t making you money…AGAIN

So every body run over here!!!!

The secret is OVER HERE!!!

And it’s only $99.95

or $195

or $1995

OR MORE!!!

And like lemmings people run over to where the “grass is greener” and pull out
their credit cards YET AGAIN

Hoping that THIS TIME something will work.

It’s freeken HYSTERICAL!

Weren’t a lot of these people the same ones who told you that social media was
the holy grail 6 months ago?

And Facebook before that

And My Space before that?

Aren’t these the same info marketers who sold you a course on pay per click a year
ago and one on SEO 90 days back?

At some point don’t you have to just say

STOP THE INSANITY????

At some point don’t you have to just think…

Maybe there isn’t an MLM Fairy

And that FREE LEADS THAT CHASE YOU without any work are a myth?

At some point don’t you finally have to STOP being the VICTIM?

And BTW…I am not blaming the guys and girls who sell you all this stuff.

They are M-A-R-K-E-T-E-R-S

Yes…you read that right…

M-A-R-K-E-T-E-R-S

People who sell things into a HUNGRY MARKETPLACE

You know why they are able to keep selling???

You know why they are able to keep making money hand over fist
while you keep losing it?

Because YOU KEEP BUYING LUNK HEAD!!!!!!

They wouldn’t sell it if you weren’t buying!!!!

HELLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Anybody????

Anybody???

Bueller????????

As long as people think there is a shortcut smart people will create products to sell you.

That’s why people still quest for the THE MAGIC DIET PILL

And that’s why people still sell them.

We know they don’t work…

Doesn’t matter…

Cause somehow we just keep on wishing that something was magic…

Believe me…if it existed…Oprah would have told us!!!

And

This is also why people keep buying every cockamaimie product under the sun
that promises you can get rich in your underwear!!!

Friend adders, twitter getters, web scrapers, rotating helix audio video traffic drivers
autoresponder dynasties, outsourcing systems, magic scripts, ppc mastery, local marketing secret systems, video goldmines, social media tool boxes….

And a partridge in a pear tree!!!!!!!

All of it is GREAT STUFF…

And none of it means anything if you don’t do THE GROUND WORK first.

Period, over and out.

Lordy Loo I have been teaching this for years…

Doing it for years…

Making money like crazy…

and watching all the kiddies run from one side of the playground
to the other over and over.

Absolutely NUTS…

A lot of fun…

Heck…I don’t need TV anymore.

All I gotta do is tune into Twitter or Facebook any day for a few mins and I am cracking up…

Forget comedy central…

This is the best entertainment out there!!!

Bar none.

So after my whole outburst here…

After my TIRADE…

I have one question for you my friend…

And here it is:

*

**

***

****

*****

WHEN WILL YOU STOP LISTENING TO EVERYBODY BUT YOURSELF?

When will you stop second guessing every thing you do…

And when will you put on a BUSINESS hat and work your BUSINESS like a BUSINESS

With…Oh…I don’t know…

With maybe

A BUSINESS PLAN???

Call me kooky but I always thought I had a BUSINESS

I wasn’t looking to make friends…

I was looking to make a living.

I wasn’t looking for a shortcut…

I was looking for STABILITY.

Who knows…

Maybe that was my blessing.

Maybe that is why I am here today.

Maybe that is why I do what so many just don’t seem to be able to do…

And that’s

Turn a PROFIT

HELLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Anybody????

Anybody???

Bueller????????

Ok..I think I am done…

I am cooling down

If you know me well and you read this…

Ask me sometime what set me off.

Man was I pissed a few minutes ago.

This post was my therapy I suppose :)

My way of getting out my frustrations.

And hopefully knocking some sense into YOU.

The home business industry is a BEAUTIFUL THING

The place where I became free.

And I believe in it.

If you ever want the long road, hard, not easy, stay up late, work on weekends for a while

bang your head against the wall plan to riches…

Let me know…

I’m serving it up every single week.

It ain’t easy.

It’s will require a FULL MINDSET shift.

And it will frustrate you for a while

I can GUARANTEE you there is no magic pill at my house…

But what you will get in the end is…

<ahhhhhhhhh…(angels singing)

A BUSINESS!

And isn’t that what you wanted in the first place?

Ok..Psycho Hochman OUT

See ya where the grass is greener…

In my case…That’s EVERYWHERE

Here….There …and EVERYWHERE

When It’s Time

When It’s Time…

It’s Time

And how do you know when that moment has come?

When it’s not about a buck…it’s about FREEDOM

It’s when a want turns into a need…
When a need turns into a passion..
And when that passion turns into an OBSESSION

And most of all…

It’s when you realize and acknowledge that the only thing
stopping you…

Is YOU

Success in a home business is not about a program or a pay plan
but self control and personal responsibility.
