What Can You Do to Become Unstoppable and Expand Your Network?

Do you think you can change the way you relate to people or the way you do business in a way that could double your income? I do. Does it have to cost you oodles of money? No, but you need to make a commitment to making a plan. A plan that consists of steps in taking consistent action. Without consistent action, you will not see an increase in your prospects or profitability.

Here are 9 surefire ways for you to become unstoppable and expand your network, and increase your bottom line:

1. Build and nurture your relationships

2. Cross promote with other businesses

3. Send out cards of appreciation

4. Ask for referrals. Word of Mouth, the most powerful marketing tool.

5. Have a call to action on the back of your business card . Invite others to experience you with a free estimate, 15 minute coaching call, or access to resources on your website.

6. Put a raving testimonial in your email signature and on your blog.

7. Commit to continuous learning - read at least 15 minutes a day.

8. Offer and share value. Connect others with articles, magazines, special deals, or programs of interest to your customers or people in your network. It is fun to help others succeed and know that you were a part of something bigger.

9. Keep an abundance mindset. There is enough for everyone. Quit comparing yourself to others. You diminish your own value when you do so.

Become unstoppable and invaluable to your network of people. You will be the person others seek out to do business with. Give of yourself and be real. In working together with others, you will get much farther than traveling this journey alone.

Can You Believe It - Say It Isn't So!

Recently, I sent someone a random act of kindness and they told me that they wished to return it because they felt they did not need the gift. As our conversation continued, the gift appeared to be viewed as a form of "help or desperation" instead of seeing it as a nice gesture or a gift from the heart. I proceeded to explain that it was a gift and a gift is meant to be received. Yet, they struggled with being open to receive due to pride.

Did you know that you actually rob the gift giver of the pleasure of giving the gift? What I have noticed is... people often become uncomfortable with receiving gifts or asking for help. Yes, to be honest with you, my gift had many meanings, perhaps a form of help, but more so to be a pleasant unexpected gesture of kindness.

For many people, the act of receiving a gift, accepting a compliment, or asking for help is seen as a sign of weakness. I see it as a great strength. Here's a few tips for moving your pride to pleasure:

Gift Giving. Think about the time, thought, and effort a person puts into making, preparing, or purchasing a gift. It was important enough for them to give the gift or random act of kindness. Be gracious and grateful. I am not talking about an engagement ring but random acts of kindness and celebratory gifts that do not have a form of commitment or pay back. Sometimes a person's pride can get in the way of sharing in the joy.

Compliment Receiving. When some offers you a compliment, honour them by simply saying "Thank You". By saying, "It was no big deal.", you are downplaying the act of kindness. After a while, they will not want to compliment you because the joy of giving you the compliment, was zapped away.

Asking for a Hand. Asking for help can be the most powerful thing you can do to strengthen a relationship and improve your circumstance. People like to help people and people like to feel valued. Help needs not to be seen as a hand OUT but a hand UP. People like to see people succeed and know in their hearts that they were a part of something bigger - bigger life and a brighter future.

Be open to receive gifts of kindness, compliments and hands up. It gives the gift giver much joy and fulfillment to know that they had a chance to contribute to your life. You never know when you may need a gift to put a smile on your face. The best thing you can do is acknowledge the gift with a big "THANK YOU". Enjoy the gift.

Offer 3 random acts of kindness to honour the gift you received. It can be as simple as helping someone cross the street, paying for their meal at the drive thru window, or sending a thank you card. Do not let acts of kindness go unnoticed - pay it forward!

Let us know how you pay it forward!

How Great Is Your Will?

“Do or do not... there is no try.” - Yoda

The road to successful living comes with many choices and the willingness to participate in your life. Being a bystander in your life, does not allow you to share your light and energy with others. Those who choose to be a victim in their lives get left behind, while others who actively participate enjoy the journey to success and happiness because they are in control of where they want to go. According to Brainy Quote, willingness is "the quality or state of being willing; free choice or consent of the will; freedom from reluctance; readiness of the mind to do or forbear." Other will related definitions are: do, being, choice, will, and freedom. Do you use these words when you speak? Do you have a choice and the will for freedom?

Here are 10 questions to ask yourself on your journey to success:

1. 
   
   Am I willing to give first and expect nothing in return?
2. 
   
   Am I willing to ask for what I want?
3. 
   
   Am I willing to set goals and plan ways to get what I want?
4. 
   
   Am I willing to give up complaining, making excuses, and blaming others for not getting what I want and take 100% responsibility for my actions?
5. 
   
   Am I willing to say "no" to an opportunity based on my priorities knowing that bigger and better opportunities may come my way?
6. 
   
   Am I willing to step out of my comfort zone to experience all life has to offer me?
7. 
   
   Am I willing to fail in order to learn and move forward?
8. 
   
   Am I willing to persevere when the going gets tough?
9. 
   
   Am I willing to embrace change?
10. 
    
    Am I willing to take action?

When you are willing to go after what you want with conviction, you will inevitably get where you want to go and achieve what you want to achieve. You must be willing to do what it takes. How badly do you want what you say you want? What are some other questions you ask yourself about your "willingness" to participate in this exciting world called life?

"Courage is simply the willingness to be afraid and act anyway. "
