How to Brand Yourself on Facebook

using these Facebook strategies ...

and this works just the same on G+ or other social media sites.

My "How to Brand Yourself" Treasure Map

CONSISTENCY 

First of all, do SOMETHING, every day, "consistency" is key here.
Start a daily routine, make yourself a "daily action guide".

You will only see results and success when you are consistent and follow this plan DAILY!

“You cannot do the right thing on a consistent basis and receive the wrong results!”

These strategies do require effort. They require serious dedication and consistent action but if you do take massive action on this, over the next couple of months you’re going see good results and see success and start making a good income just from FB. But you MUST be consistent on a daily basis!

You cannot just "try this" for a few days and say..."oh, that does not work ..." and then stop. Of course, then it will not work. You may not see results overnight, it may take some time, but I promise you, do this a few weeks, a few months, and you will see results and will grow your friends list and you will get more followers ...

Daily Action Plan (examples)

Status Updates

1. Check all your new notifications on your Facebook personal profile.

2. Respond to everyone who commented on your posts, responds to your status updates, and those who are asking questions on your profile.

3. Respond to all messages in your Facebook personal profile inbox. Don’t forget to check the “Other” box as well ;) Take time to actually look at others' profiles.

4. Post a status update on your Facebook profile several times throughout the day. Give VALUE, donʼt pitch! Be sure to always come back each day and interact with those who have interacted
on your status updates.

5. Comment on 5 or more friends’ statuses. You can do this in groups as well.

6. Send a few positive messages every day. NO Pitching!!

7. When someone friend requests you, post a thank you on their wall. This continues to build the relationship.

Fanpage

Set up your Fanpage and link your Fanpage to your Personal profile (work). Post something of value or motivational on your fan page daily. E.G. take the most liked and responded to post from your profile page and share it on your fanpage.

TIP: The Fanpage should be about YOU! Not about a company. It’s about BRANDING YOU!

How to find new contacts in Facebook groups

Go to the Internet Marketing groups or other groups that you are a member of
(IM, Internet Marketing, MLM ...).

1. Click on the members tab.
2. Sort the members tab by join date.
3. Send the following message to several  people, one by one.

Please modify the message where needed. You are looking to make friends with this message, NOT sell anything. I repeat, DO NOT PITCH. DO NOT SPAM.  You are not trying to sell anything. In your conversations with them ONLY mention your company if asked.

Ask what they are doing and offer help or suggestions based on your current knowledge…

Also you are NOT to join any new opportunities. If they offer just ask them to send you a link or better yet a breakdown of the company’s comp plan so that you can compare it with how you are currently being paid.

Reach out, comment, and answer questions and interact daily.

Sample Script (example only)
Hey [their name],
How are things? Hope all is well. Just came across you in the ...  group. Have you been into
Internet marketing long? If you like, message me back, so maybe we can share some ideas?
Have a great day. Thanks [your name]

TIP: Before replying to a new message look at the person’s profile so that you can use their information to better communicate with them! DO NOT (NEVER) just ADD FRIENDS!!!! Facebook will “punish” you if you add too many friends a day (more than 4 !) or when you add friends every day. Always let people add you.

REMEMBER: CONSISTENCY is absolute KEY!

3 Ways to Attract Positive Energy

Positive energy attracts positive situations, a positive life. Attracts more success, attracts positive people and helps you achieve your goals. You will have good things happening to you when you have positive energy. 

When you are enthusiastic about what you do, 

you feel this positive energy. It's very simple.

Paulo Coelho

So how you can have positive energy when all around you, you see and feel negative energy?

Here are 3 ways to attract positive energy into your life.

1.)  Begin your day with filling your mind with positive thoughts. When you wake up, take a few minutes and be thankful for the new day, be grateful for your health, be thankful for the cup of coffee you will enjoy shortly, be thankful for new opportunities, for your family, for your job, your business, ...there are so many things you can be thankful for.

This is very good start, and you can "set your day", your energy to being positive. You are in control. Allow yourself to generate more positive energy and this will also attract more positive situations for you which in turn brings more positive energy to you. Most of the time we do not even notice that our "default" setting is set to "negative energy". Become more and more aware. 

Remember with positive energy things will work out for you and you will attract more of what you want.

2.) Now, as you go through your day avoid negative thoughts and negative people = negative energy. When you have negative thoughts, replace them. Don't fight them, acknowledge that they are there, but they do not have to rule your day, your life.

You care in control, you can change your thoughts. Think again about positive things. Remember your list from this morning of the things you have been thankful and grateful for. Listen to music, go out for a walk, make plans for a future vacation ... "Wouldn't it be nice if I ..., I love the thought of ..., wouldn't it be great if I ..."

Remember, you are in control and you can change your thoughts any time. You can activate your positive energy. Your past does not determine your future. Every minute you can change the direction.

3.)  Every day, read positive energy books. Listen to positive energy audios . Join groups with like minded people. Your life will be so much easier with positive energy. Not only will you attract more terrific, positive and optimistic people who will help you succeed, positive energy also helps you make better choices and helps you achieve the success you want. Take charge of your life. Yes, you are in charge. It is your life.

Remember to switch your negative thoughts to positive energy. Your life will be more fulfilling and rewarding. You are a powerful person. Tap into your power and let it help you succeed and live the life you want to live.

When you show deep empathy toward others, their defensive 

energy goes down, and positive energy replaces it. That's when

you can get more creative in solving problems.

Believe in Yourself

To be successful and to achieve the life we desire, it is very important how you think about yourself and that you believe in yourself.

Our lives could be a lot more productive, profitable and happier if we were to learn more about ourself first and trust us more.

But how do we, how can you, become more confident and believe in yourself?

The first step to believe in yourself is to understand who you really are and to be very realistic about yourself.

How do you see yourself, are you a follower or a leader? Are you courageous or rather more careful? Adventurous? Are you curious? You want to be successful, what does it mean to you? How would you feel, how do you imagine to be when you have success?

You have to understand your strengths and your capabilities. What are you able to do now, what would you like to learn more? Would you really enjoy this or maybe not at all? What do you really want to achieve and why?

Take a moment to think. Think about your strengths. Think what you can do. Think about what you have already accomplished. You don't have to be an expert in whatever you have done so far, achieved, even some knowledge in that particular field will do.

Now take a blank sheet of paper and write down these things. Arrange them in order. The first three things should be the things that you really do well, followed by things that you can do fairly well, followed by things that you can barely do but you could learn more about and and improve.

Take a look at this sheet of paper. Keep it with you always. This is what you are capable of and what you can improve upon. It is a part of what you are.

Don't believe everything other people say about you. It is important what you think and know about yourself. At the same time, don't be too critical about yourself either.

Don't judge yourself, and very important !, do NOT compare yourself with others.

Believe in yourself. You are good at something, you can always improve something. Know your potentials and know your limitations, and know what YOU really want to do and who you want to become.

Success and Patience

To succeed you must have patience.

According to Wikipedia, Patience (or forbearing) is the state of endurance under difficult circumstances, which can mean persevering in the face of delay or provocation without acting on annoyance/anger in a negative way; or exhibiting forbearance when under strain, especially when faced with longer-term difficulties. Patience is the level of endurance one can take before negativity. It is also used to refer to the character trait of being steadfast.

Patience is waiting. Not passively waiting. That is laziness. But to keep going when the going is hard and slow that is patience. – Unknown

There is a proverb that goes “all good things come to those who wait.” BUT I must add, waiting alone is not enough. Good things do not come to those who just wait. Good things come to those who wait, but who also actively do something about their situation while they are waiting.

Patience is not passive; on the contrary, it is active; it is concentrated strength. – Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

It has never been easy to be patient, but it’s probably harder now than at any time in history.We are able to send and receive messages instantly, we start a motor by just pushing a button, we have information available only with a few clicks of a mouse (and complain already when it takes 2 seconds instead of three LOL).

The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are, and look realistically at the world around you. Have faith in yourself and in the direction you have chosen. – Ralph Marsdon

Anything worthwhile takes time to grow and mature. So, our patience is required to succeed. It is the nature of things and the law of time that you cannot immediately reap what and where you have sown.

Patience is the companion of wisdom. – St. Augustine

We all have to learn to be patient with ourselves. We are not perfect and we will make mistakes along the way. Understand that you are on the right track and headed in the right direction, however many mistakes and setbacks you may encounter on the way. And remember; don’t just look forward to and anticipate reaching your destination. Enjoy the journey too.

Are you on the Road to Success?

Everything that happens to us happens in purpose or for a reason.

And sometimes, one thing leads to another. So, instead of going into hiding and crying over past heartaches, embarrassment and failures, treat them as your teachers and they will become your tools in both self improvement and success.

When does self improvement become synonymous with success? Where do we start?

*Stop thinking and feeling as if you are a failure, because you are not. How can others accept you if YOU can’t accept YOU? Your feelings are very powerful and what you feel may not be real at all.

*Do NOT compare yourselves with others, e.g. models and actors on TV!  Do not pity yourself, but think more on self improvement. What can you do to improve your situation (weight, looks, happiness etc).  Self acceptance is not just about having nice slender legs, or great abs. Concentrate on inner beauty.

*When other people feel down and low about themselves, help them move up. But be careful: Don’t go down with them. They will pull you down further and both of you will end up feeling inferior.

*The world is a large room for lessons, not mistakes. Don’t feel stupid and doomed forever just because you failed on a science quiz. There’s always a next time. Make room for self improvement.

*Take things one at a time. Self improvement is a one day at a time process. Remember: How to eat an elephant? One bite at a time...

*Self improvement results to inner stability, personality development and dig this …. SUCCESS. It comes from self confidence, self appreciation and self esteem.

*Little things mean BIG to other people. Sometimes, we don’t realize that the little things that we do like a pat on the back, saying “hi” or “hello”, greeting someone “good day” or telling Mr. Smith something like “hey, I love your tie!” are simple things that mean so much to other people. When we’re being appreciative about beautiful things around us and other people, we also become beautiful to them.

*When you’re willing to accept change and go through the process of self improvement, it doesn’t mean that everyone else is. The world is a place where people of different values and attitude hang out. Sometimes, even if you think you and your best friend always like to do the same thing together at the same time, she would most likely decline an invitation for self improvement.

*We should always remember that there’s no such thing as ‘over night success’. It is always a wonderful feeling to hold on to the things that you already have now, realizing that those are just one of the things you once wished for. A very nice quote says that “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.”

No More Fear

How Can You Overcome Fear?

Good question, let's see ...

Really? Have you tried and had success?

People are being held back from success usually because of fear of success. When in doubt it brings us down by lowering our confidence and self-esteem. Being afraid of failure to succeed is the most common fear we have.

Once you realize what is causing your fear, you can move to techniques of self-talk to change the conditions, we are told. Fear affects the mind and body causing us to let ourselves down as well as others around us. No doubt about that.

Do not let Fear control your Life.

Self-talk will help you to do anything you want when your use positive thinking. Some people are afraid to climb over a fence. To overcome this fear of going over the fence, tell yourself you can do it. Face it and force yourself to go over the fence to the other side. Overcoming a fear systematically and self-talk your way through each step will help you to accomplish this fear. Think positive you can and will do it to succeed.

Theory and Practice?

Doesn't it all sound good and nice and then in REAL life it does not seem to work? Did you not think positive enough? Or....maybe you did not actually BELIEVE what you tried to tell yourself? or is it the TRY that stops you from having success in re-programming yourself? or are you too impatient? You think it should be working NOW , right away?

You need time to grow

Self-confidence and esteem will help you to overcome other fears as it grows. Once you manage to overcome one fear the next one will be easier because you did it once now you can do it again to get where you want to go in order to succeed.

Use positive thinking and self-talk to learn the techniques of reprogramming your mind to think positive. Do not let your conscious and subconscious tell you that something cannot be done. If you think positive instead of the negative things, you will soon learn that you can do anything you want and succeed by being positive.

Challenge your fears and work your way through the process by being positive. Do not run from your fears of success. Make a decision that you can and will become the master at overcoming my fear of success or a certain fear.

Take control

Gain self-confidence with positive thinking, and self-talk. Tell yourself that you are in control of your life and fear is not going to get in the way. Once you get over the fence, you will gain self-confidence and self-esteem because you told yourself you could do this and you did.

In order to become the person you want to be in the future you need to be positive and overcome the fact that you failed once because of thinking negative things. Gaining self-control and thinking process will reprogram you; mind and soon you will be positive thinking and will not even realize it.

Tell yourself that you will take control to unburden your mind and body. You take all the good and bad things in life with positive thinking. Use positive thinking and self-talking to stay in control. Tell yourself that with confidence and self-esteem you can master anything.

Direct yourself to take control. Take the good with the bad and learn how to make it positive. Blurting out to yourself with positive thoughts and inner strength you can be in console. Express yourself with confidence and self-honor so that you can master all obstacles that come your way.

We need to be positive in today’s World

Everyday something happens and if we are thinking negative things, all the time our fears will increase and than we lose, self control. We learn from making mistakes and being positive that we can overcome something we can learn from our mistakes and keep them from happening again. Mistakes make all of us a better person for tomorrow.

Being positive will strengthen your confidence and self-esteem to be the person you have always wanted to be.

Got Faith?

There is No Success without Faith

faith

noun

1.  confidence or trust in a person or thing: faith in another's ability.
2. belief that is not based on proof: He had faith that the hypothesis would be substantiated by fact.

Faith is What We Need to Succeed

Without faith, you will not experience success in any area of your life.  FAITH is the Tool that must be utilized if you want to manifest your desires. You believe that you will succeed. When you believe that you will achieve what you intend to accomplish, it will happen.

Unfortunately, too many people have faith in the negative, they believe that something will go wrong. They attract the negative outcome. To turn this around one needs to change this mind set because the opposite of FAITH is FEAR.

What the mind can conceive, believe & achieve. - Napoleon Hill

Faith and Perseverance go Hand in Hand

A belief is a thought that you think over and over again until you persuade yourself that it is true. Faith is not “hoping” that you succeed one day; neither is it wishing.  Faith, is knowing that success is yours. Your faith (or initial belief) in the inevitable outcome will affect your actions. Your actions in turn will affect your results. Your results will in turn re-inforce your initial belief or faith.

Faith Requires Action

Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase. – Martin Luther King, Jr.

Faith Makes the Impossible Possible                          

Without faith a man can do nothing; with it all things are possible. – Sir William Osler

You Can Grow Your Faith

You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith. -  Mary Manin Morrissey

Have Faith in Faith

I would rather err on the side of faith than on the side of doubt. – Robert Schuller

Do you feel stuck?

Do you feel stuck?
Do you feel paralyzed? 

Bob Proctor said that “a person without direction 

and purpose is like a ship without a rudder.”

They do feel stuck

Are you sailing straight and far, 

or drifting here and there?

“It’s estimated that about 95% (of people) can be 

compared to ships without rudders. Subject to every 

shift of wind and tide, they’re helplessly adrift. 

And while they fondly hope that they’ll one day 

drift into a rich and successful port, you and I know 

that for every narrow harbour entrance, there are a 

1,000 miles of rocky coastline. The chances against 

their drifting into port are 1,000 to one.

But the 3% who have taken the time and exercised 

the discipline to decide on a destination and to chart 

a course sail straight and far across the deep oceans 

of life, reaching one port after another and 

accomplishing more in just a few years than the rest 

accomplish in a lifetime.” by Earl Nightingale

​

I’d rather sail straight and far and I also believe that 

everyone needs a mentor, someone to show you 

the way and to show you how to move forward. 

How to get un-stuck

Having mentors is helping me a lot, has changed my 

life from drifting here and there and going nowhere 

in my “Internet Marketing” career to finally have a 

map and directions. Now I know where I am going 

and how to get there.  

And I know, I can help you too. 

To Your Success!

P.S. “Growth is painful. Change is painful. 

But nothing is as painful as staying stuck 

somewhere you don’t belong.” - Mandy Hale

Keep the cool, be calm ...

Had a challenging Sunday yesterday ...

My drive (google drive on chrome book) was not working as it was supposed to,
I saw my files but couldn't access them ..  ..

then the washing machine stopped working in the middle of the cycle.  ...

luckily I had the meat in the slow cooker, nothing can really go wrong there  ...

and them my daughter showed up for a surprise visit, really LOVED that  ...

One thing I learned recently, not to fight challenges which come your way, who knows why it is happening... but instead try and keep your cool, keep calm, expect that something good will come out of it.

To Your Success!

How to Be the Head and not the Tail

You know how it is, you are at work, you get frustrated because things don't seem to be happening the way they’re supposed

to be. You see people milling around but nothing gets accomplished. And in the daily hustle and bustle, do you feel that your goals remain just that – goals. Then maybe its time for you to stand up and do something about it.

Most people are content just to stand around listening for orders. And it isn't unusual to adopt a follow-the-leader mentality. But maybe, somewhere inside of you, you feel the desire to make things happen – to be the head, not the tail. Then maybe leadership just suits you fine.

Some people believe that great leaders are made, not born. Yes, it may be true that some people are born with natural talents.

However, without practice, without drive, without enthusiasm, and without experience, there can be no true development in leadership.

You must also remember that good leaders are continually working and studying to improve their natural skills. This takes a commitment to constantly improve in whatever endeavor a person chooses.

First of all, let's define leadership. To be a leader, one must be able to influence others to accomplish a goal, or an objective.

He contributes to the organization and cohesion of a group. He encouraging others towards the goal of the organization. It is about putting everyone on the same page and helping them see the big picture of the organization. You must be a leader not a boss.

First of all, you have to get people to follow you. How is this accomplished?

People will only follow you if they see that you know where you are going. Remember that bumper sticker? The one that says, don't follow me, I'm lost too? The same holds true for leadership. If you yourself do not know where you're headed to, chances are people will not follow you at all.

You yourself must know the vision of the organization. Having a clear sense of hierarchy, knowing who the bosses are, who to talk to, the organization's goals and objectives, and how the organization works is the only way to show others you know what you are doing.

Being a leader is not about what you make others do. Its about who you are, what you know, and what you do. Its about the trust and confidence your subordinates have of you. If they trust you they will go through hell and high water for you and for the organization. Trust and confidence is built on good relationships, trustworthiness, and high ethics.

The way you deal with your people, and the relationships you build will lay the foundation for the strength of your group. The stronger your relationship, the stronger their trust and confidence is in your capabilities.

Once you have their trust and confidence, you may now proceed to communicate the goals and objectives you are to undertake. Communication is a very important key to good leadership. Without this you can not be a good leader. The knowledge and technical expertise you have must be clearly imparted to other people.

Also, you can not be a good leader and unless you have good judgment. You must be able to assess situations, weigh the pros and cons of any decision, and actively seek out a solution. Good decision-making is vital to the success of your organization.

Leaders are not do-it-all heroes. You should not claim to know everything, and you should not rely upon your skills alone. You should recognize and take advantage of the skills and talents your subordinates have. Only when you come to this realization will you be able to work as one cohesive unit.

Remember being a leader takes a good deal of work and time. It is not learned overnight. Remember, also, that it is not about just you. It is about you and the people around you. So, do you have the drive and the desire to serve required of leaders? Do you have the desire to work cooperatively with other people? Then start now. Take your stand and be leader today.
