Information Overload: It is An Addiction

Information Overload:  It is An Addiction

You take in so much information that you get overloaded, unproductive and everything STOPS.

I have been an “addict” of information for quite some time.  I subscribe to people’s email lists, I read their blogs, and I follow them on social networks.  I try to absorb as much as I can...

I implement what they tell me, yet I fail to get the results they get.

I just want to be a success.

I want to be a “rock-star”

I chase after them hoping to glean something, anything, that will help me figure out what I need to do; how to stop doing what isn’t going right.

I crave a solution…

I hunger for results….

And, when things don’t work out the way I hope, I take in more information from similar leaders.

My husband tried to console me one day, as I was in tears, frustrated at the lack of results I was seeing for all of the time and effort I was putting in...

“You’re like a sponge… you absorb so much, but you never let anyone wring you out.”

I thought about this…maybe you can relate?

You take in information, from e-books, webinars, conference calls, social networks…

…you implement as much as you can…

…you see a little activity and feel some HOPE…

…and then everything FLOPS.

You take in MORE information…praying for your “A-HA” moment.  Everyone has one, why not you...or me? 

Right?

It eludes you.

You unplug, frustrated.  You feel like you are spinning your wheels.  You unsubscribe from everyone, stay off of Facebook, and delete the e-books and recordings.  You can’t do it anymore.

Then, something happens… car repossessed, job loss, bill in the mail...

…or, even something as unique and special as a complete stranger sending you a card saying, “You are special.  Never give up.”

That happened to me.  A Facebook friend sent me a card out of the blue one day.  I didn’t ask how she got my information, all I knew was I cried.  I knew that even though I felt like I wasn’t making a difference…

…to one person I did.

And, I re-engaged.  I sought out more information.

Still seeking my “A-HA” moment that eluded me.

But, again, I joined a bunch of things that I couldn’t afford.  They were all trials, so what harm would it be, right?

Well, the harm was that I was still not getting “it” and I was crushing my confidence.

They say that “It’s not your fault you’re failing in your MLM.”  TRUE…

BUT, it is your RESPONSIBILITY.

We all must take account for everything we do.  It isn’t my fault that every guru only provides 75% of the needed information.  And, it’s not my fault that the overlapping 75% of each guru still doesn’t help me find the missing piece to the puzzle.

It is my responsibility to admit I am struggling.  It is my responsibility to seek a coach to help me get that other 25%. 

I want to encourage you today…don’t give up.

If you struggle to find the missing piece to your puzzle…GET A COACH.

Find someone who will work with your experience, talents, gifts and abilities to help you propel your business forward.  Find someone who is knowledgeable of the industry, the methods by which you work with your business and someone who has a network of contacts and resources to assist you.

Remember, it isn’t your fault…but it is your RESPONSIBILITY. 
Break the addiction…save yourself some money and hassle.  Invest in changing your life, your business and achieving your goals.

If you need a Business Coach, get in touch with me and I will direct you to someone I trust and respect.  MarinoMarketingGroup@gmail.com and put “Business Coach” in the subject line.

I want you to be successful too…

…you deserve it!

Blessings,

An Email A Day:Is Less Really More?


I'm sure you've heard the saying...

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away."

I heard something like that today that got my attention...

"An email a day keeps the J.O.B. away." ~Daegan Smith



Seriously?

Daegan Smith is quite an amazing guy. I've been following his work for years, but only recently have tapped in to his training and I am very impressed.  I will confess, what impresses me the most is how he is LIVE and really communicates with people who reach out to him.

Anyway, Daegan debunked a few email auto-responder myths for me today and I wanted to talk about that with you...in case you don't get his info...but you should  ;)

So, over the years,  I've always been advised to send an email every few days over a period of time.  For example an email every 3rd day for 2 weeks.  The problem that always resounded in the back of my mind was this...

"If a person needs 7 exposures before they buy, doesn't that mean it will take weeks before they do?"

Hmmmmm.....

Well one thing that Daegan shared today is that you should send at LEAST one email a day; preferably two.

WHY?


  1. You build a rapport with your list.  People begin to look forward to your emails and miss them when you don't send them.
  2. People are less likely to block you or unsubscribe if they see emails from you regularly.
  3. The people that do unsubscribe---it's a blessing...don't worry about it.
  4. And, to go along with #3, you clean out your list.  The people can say "too much" and unsubscribe the very next time you email them, leading to a slow cleansing of your list, regularly.
Of course, Daegan laid this out with screen shots, because he has a list of 90+ thousand, so he showed us how it actually did work better when he emailed daily as opposed to a time when he wasn't emailing daily.

There are two points that need to be understood:

  • You need to engage your reader and be aware of their needs (why they opted-in) and provide VALUE to them.  Otherwise, you can email them once a day or once a week, but they won't read your emails and they WILL unsubscribe.  Communicate with them.  Share stories and relate to them.  Don't always be selling something...but ALWAYS be giving VALUE.  (Yes, I had to say that twice).
  • Fear of scarcity and lack is CRIPPLING...so get beyond it right now.  Don't stress over the one that left, instead nurture the one(s) that have stayed.  If you don't care for the little you have been given, you will not be given more to care for.  ;)
So, go ahead and start emailing that list of yours...RIGHT NOW.  Share something you've learned today.  Make someone smile with your funny or quirky anecdotes.

If you haven't already plugged in to Daegan, I highly recommend it and I want you to go check out his website right now.

WAIT... before you leave... please subscribe to this blog for updates.  You will be getting quite a bit from me.

How Would Daily Income Change Your Life?

How Would Daily Income Change Your Life?




People are financially struggling all around me. I know, because I hear their stories and feel their pain. I can empathize with this because I am not working outside of the home and neither is my husband. We've had to learn to live on the $75 a week I make walking a dog. It's tough, especially with 4 children. And, I've tried just about every home business out there. But, it was difficult not only to get my own results, but to also help my team get results.

So, what if you could make daily income? How would that change your life? Even if it was only $20 a day, that is an extra $600 or so, every single month. Wouldn't that help you in some way?? And, what if you could do it without spending any money to get started? You are in PROFIT from the very first commission. What a relief!

So, over the months, I've been looking for ways to help people (and my family) generate an income online. I've looked at ways to accomplish this with little to no start-up cost, but there's always been a bunch of hoops to jump through. Or, hidden costs and fees. Or the worse case was NO back-office, training or support.

I MAKE DAILY INCOME NOW

So, I started with this SYSTEM for no out-of-pocket cost. I had some technical challenges at first, but within 1 hour of having the technical issue resolved, I was IN PROFIT. I didn't do anything magical or mystical and it was extremely simple. There are step-by-step videos to guide you EVERY step of the way.

If you are struggling to make ends meet, if you are looking for a way to fund your primary business, if you just want to have the relief of earning daily income, I have a possible SOLUTION for you.

A Little Bit About Joy Marino

What is your story?  This is just a part of mine...

My name is Joy Marino and I am a wife and mom of 5 children.  I work from home as a marketing advisor.  I enjoy helping other people utilize their talents, gifts and abilities to branch out, increase their business volume and achieve their goals.



As a child, growing up, my parents owned a luncheonette.  We served food as well as provided products to the local public.  I always had my parents around, since they were the only ones running the store and we lived in the apartment above the storefront.  Even though they struggled, they were their own bosses and were able to be involved in my life.

As a teenager, my parents ended up leaving the store and getting regular jobs and renting a home.  It was definitely a different time for my family and I struggled with many of the issues most families face these days.  I was unattended after school and although I had a part-time babysitting job, I often found myself hanging around and doing a bunch of nothing.

As an young adult, I definitely struggled with many challenges.  I learned a lot of things, the hard way.  I was married, had my first son and divorced---all by the age of 20.  While my friends were exploring "life", I was all-grown up already.  In some ways, it made sense, because I'd always been a bit "older" than most of my friends.  In fact, many of my best friends, growing up, were the adults that frequented my parent's store.  So, I matured in many ways sooner than my peers.

Nowadays, I stay at home with our 4 youngest children.  I crave the interactions with other adults and often socialize on networks throughout the day.  One thing that has always been a passion of mine is helping others.  Combine socializing and helping others, network marketing seemed to be the perfect fit for me.  However, time and time again, I struggled to get my business(es) off the ground.

I began to grasp the fact that I was looking at NWM from a non-profit standpoint.  I was helping people left and right, but never really making money.  I was motivated by their successes, but depressed by the lack of my own.  I had watched person after person start at the same spot I was in, and in no time, they propelled past me at a blinding speed.  I failed to see why it happened for everyone else, but not for me.

The problem, which you may relate to, is lack of focus, discipline and consistency.  These 3 elements are how everyone else finds success when I do not.  It's like the saying about stopping at the edge of your breakthrough; you work so hard to get there, but give up or give in...right before your life was about to change.  

My other problem was that I was a people pleaser.  I cared far too much about other people's opinions and I allowed that to keep me just beyond my breakthrough.  I would start something...then stop when I thought it might "upset" or "offend" someone else.  I was under the impression I need someone to hold me by the hand and direct my every step, giving me praise and approval at every juncture.  And, every time I didn't get that, I would turn and walk in another direction, probably a few feet away from my "fortune."

Recently, I decided that I had enough.  I had short-changed myself for far too long.  I still care enough not to intentionally hurt other people's opinions, give credit when due and be respectful of other people's time.  However, I can't expect anyone to hold my hand anymore.  I am almost 40 for crying out loud.  I've been broke, beaten down and counted out for far too long.

Now, I work for me...for my family.  Those that see the value in what I can offer them will show up to learn.  Those that want to partner with me in business, will.  Those that want their dreams to come true will do what they need to do, in order for it to happen...just like me.


I look forward to hearing your thoughts, your story, your commentary.  Just leave me some comment love and share what this article has spoken to you.

Blessings,

Joy Marino

Hoops For Heart Fundraiser


My daughter, Gianna, and her 5th grade class is participating in a fundraiser for the American Heart Association.  I created this particular blog post to give her some online support, in addition to her off-line efforts.
I have come to know a great many people online over the past 12 years and I know that many have dealt with heart disease in some way, either  directly or indirectly.  I don't need to go in to great statistics here to impress upon you the importance of this fundraiser.

I do want to share the message from Gianna's fundraising page:
"I'm joining millions of others to help save lives with the American Heart Association's Hoops For Heart Program!
I'm doing Hoops For Heart at my school and learning how I can help make a difference by raising lifesaving donations to help kids with heart disease.  I'm also learning about my own heart, and how to keep it healthy. And I'm getting active playing basketball!
I'm excited about raising money for other kids - kids with hearts that don't exactly work right and to help fund new medicines and treatments to be discovered.  Please help me make a difference!  Thank you!"

Thank you in advance for your LOVE AND SUPPORT!

Blessings,

Joy and Gianna

The Dirty Truth About Network Marketing


"The Dirty Truth About Network Marketing That you Must Knowand Understand If You Ever Want to Succeed"


Here it is:

On the surface, network marketing companies appear to be
thriving communities of consuming customers all happy with
the product that they are consuming and they really are, but
what drives that community of thriving consumers has
absolutely nothing to do with the product itself.

Let's think about this statement.

Let me ask you a question:

Why did you decided to get started in a network marketing
business?

You don't have to say anything out loud but answer this
question in your head right now to yourself.

I guarantee you answer is somewhere along these lines "Well,
I started my business because I wanted to make some extra
money and who knows maybe even become financially free."

Am I right?

Well let me ask you another question now.

When you prospect and talk to leads about your business what
do you talk to them about?

Most likely you try to stick to the corporate script which
inevitable ends up with your prospect asking you questions
about your network marketing companies products or services.


And by the end of the conversation you've lost control of
the call and both you and your prospect end up confused
(usually get somewhere between details about your companies
product or service and the compensation plan).

You get of the phone and hope that my some grace of god your
prospect you paid $5 to confuse will decided to join your
business.

Likely story!

Here's why:

Successful Network Marketing has NOTHING to do with selling
your prospect on your product at ALL!

To the contrary, the only thing that you should EVER talk to
your prospect about is the same thing that got you sold on
your companies business . . . More Money and Financial
Freedom!

You see network marketing is built on financial hopes and
dreams and honestly, if you're looking for business builders
to recruit into your organization your prospects hopes and
dreams of financial success are the only thing that you
should speak to them about, so they can sell themselves on
it.

As an illustration of this principle think about the
situation this way, if you had equal amounts of your
company's product in one hand and money in the other which
do you think your prospect would choose?

The top money earners know the answer to that question and
that's how why make all there money!

Here's the other shift in perspective that you're going to
have to make if you want to have ultimate success with your
business and it's simply a logical continuation on the point
just discussed.

What you think of as your company's product is NOT its real
product at ALL!

Do you think your network marketing company's product is its
moon juice or long distance service?

If you do you're very wrong.

Continuing on from my last point, remember your network
marketing business will not grow if you just push product it
will only grow if you sell people on their financial
dreams.

So if you think about it, your company's real product is
it's sales training and marketing system. The better your
company's marketing system is able to help you generate
sales the better any more quickly you will be able to reap
the financial benefits of your business.

To extend this point further, eventually you'll want your
downline to do all the work so you don't have to.

The simpler and more effective the marketing system plus the
strong the training your company provides the easier your
system will duplicate.

If you want to think about it in its most simple form, your
company's real product is its duplicability.

If you find a system that is easy to duplicate and you can
have your prospect "sell themselves" on their financial
dreams you will have a highly successful network marketing
business.

Your Job is Simple:

Find people that want to attain financial freedom your way
and then shorten their learning curve so that they can go
out and do the same.

Blessings,
Joy Marino
