Ten places to meet new customers/hostesses/teammates OUTSIDE of Facebook

Where in the world do you meet people? Here are 10 common places to meet new people! 

1- in your daily errands; The post office, grocery store, hair salon, gas station, clinic, the bank. Every clerk, cashier, teller, service person should get a card. You don't even have to say a word, just hand the card over or leave it on the counter. 
2- Meetup.com ; use this to find local meetings for networking, mommy groups, play groups, coffee clubs, book clubs, etc. 
3- Take a walk around your neighborhood and talk to a neighbor you don't know.
4- The gym.
5- The Laundromat. Even if you have your own washer and dryer- make an excuse to go there.
6- Take up a hobby, like shooting, archery, horseback riding, scrap-booking, journaling, stamping, card-making, pen-paling, ceramics, pottery, painting...etc.
7- Church.
8- Start your own interest group- host it at your house.
9- The coffee shop/bakery/mall- compliment random strangers on their jewelry and ask them if it's Paparazzi.
10- Go to one new restaurant a month- and leave the waitress a tip, your card and a piece of jewelry.

Go OUT into the world and be a royal Paparazzi princess! 

How to change your Bad day into a GREAT day in 3 minutes!

Everyone repeat after me (and look in the mirror)~

I am healthy.

I am strong.

I am beautiful.

I love my family. 

I love my business.

I love my life.

I like my house.

I like my job.

I like my friends.

I am powerful.

My words are powerful.

I will only use my words for positive things.

I get bookings all the time, customers come to me every day. My calendar is always full.

There is always money available to me, for me and for my family.

I will do everything today in a positive way, and keep a positive attitude.

I will find the bright side to every situation today.

Today is a good day.

Today is a GREAT day.

Today is the most awesome day of the month!

I was born to do this.....this life.

And, tomorrow- wake up and do it again. The next day, too. Daily affirmations are a really powerful tool. The way you talk to yourself has significant impacts on how you treat your family, friends, business, prospects- EVERYTHING. If you don't feel good- you probably don't make others feel good. Being positive and happy is contagious. So wake up every day and be your own cheerleader. Love yourself- love ON yourself and start speaking these affirmations into your life. Say it out loud. I do it every day. If I don't tell myself I am beautiful- I feel ugly, and when I feel ugly- I get ugly. I've grown up a lot the past 20 years. I used to have a lot of anger issues- but, I noticed that I was always putting myself down. When I made a choice to intentionally change my life- I had to teach myself to speak positively to myself. Life is not easy. Business- is not easy. But, it's rewarding. It's fulfilling. It's totally up to YOU. No one else. Just you. That's it- that's all you have to do. Just change the way you speak to yourself. Take 3 minutes every day to change  your entire life!  Feed yourself good things. If you can't believe what you tell yourself- how will you expect others to believe in you?  Change your mindset and see what happens!

Those pesky excuses that are keeping you from success!

Thank God I lost all those excuses! Now, if I could just find a way to lose all these extra pounds...I'll be good to go! wink emoticon Same concept though, right? If I want to succeed in getting fit and healthy, I have to take ACTION. (whew, I feel tired just thinking about that!)
No matter what you want to accomplish- you have to take action to get there. An excuse is just an obstacle you have to kick over to get where your going. Better yet, don't kick it (you might stub your toe! ouch!)- JUMP over it. You CAN do it!
Most common "excuses" that hold you back from success:
I don't have enough money.
I don't have enough knowledge.
I don't know how.
I don't have a sponsor/my sponsor quit/my sponsor does not contact me.
I don't feel good.
I am tired.
I am too busy.
I don't know where to go/promote/advertise.
I have a family.
My husband/wife/significant other does not support me.
My family/friends/community does not support me.
My car doesn't work well.
I don't have business cards.
My friend/neighbor/family member already sells and it didn't work for them.
I saw a bad review and now I am scared of my business/product.
I feel fat/ugly/angry/confused/depressed.
I don't like wearing xxx product.
I am not comfortable around people.

Start changing your mindset. These are ALL things you can change, or find a way to work around. It's not a reason. It's an excuse. Some of them are the VERY REASON why you joined. So USE that as motivation to CHANGE it!

Don't go fishing with Rocks

I was doing my morning routine today: get up, use the bathroom,  put the coconut oil in and start oil pulling, while making a pot of coffee. Sit down at my computer, check my virtual office, read my morning news (facebook) - and, that's when this happened...I found this video .
I was watching it, thinking wow- she's cute and she's really good. Then when the judges started talking, it hit me.

 Prospecting should be a lot more like this.  The Voice provides an opportunity- and people FLOCK to that opportunity for a slim CHANCE to be on one of 4 coach's teams. The coaches listen to each contestant, listening for flaws and also listening for skill. I love that they don't even look at their face until it's time to really offer a solution to their situation. When they like what they hear, and think that they have an ability to help them prosper in this industry, they turn around.  This says, " I want you"- on my team. I can help you.
  But then.... what if all the coaches turn around?  The choice is still up to the prospect!  See, I think too many of us  have this whole network marketing thing backwards.  Too many people just take your opportunity, and chase prospects, and throw it at them. Then,  when you find one that shows a little interest, you jump all over them and smother them and don't let them feel it out.
Having a network marketing team, should be filled with people that all utilize different skills and abilities.  And, as a team- you should be able to offer that to a "contestant" interested in joining your team.  All while still working towards the main goal- getting that "contestant" to live their dream.
In the company I am in, at this point in the game, I can only "rank up", based on the skills and abilities of my team.  I have found them, offered them a solution to their problem (they need money, I had a business to offer them), have helped them fine-tune some abilities and skills and they are out there working their dreams.
When, I go online to "network"- I see way too much opportunity vomit and not enough blind auditions.  What I see are 4 judges, that are not in the same industry. I see Greed, Envy, Devious, and Cheater, instead of Skill, Help, Empower and Uplift.   I see everyone throwing out a fishing line with the wrong hook/bait, into a school of dead fish, hoping to catch just one live one.  What if instead, we throw our line with the right hook, and the right bait, out into the middle of nowhere- and let the right fish come to us?  What if we start working for them, instead of trying to get them to work for us?

Let people show you what they are. Let them tell you what their skills are, what they need help with and if you have the solution, get them on your team.   If you can't help them, let them off your hook and let them find the right opportunity.  Not every person you talk to is going to be a good fit for your team. You will have a lot more success in the long run if you are pinpointing people who truly benefit from what you have to offer, and teaching them to pinpoint those people, too...than you would hooking a school of dead prospects.  You will have less people dropping out of the program, or struggling to succeed, if you are honest about your opportunity, and learn to utilize your skill, offer help,  empower and uplift them.  Your long-term will be more solid if you start out with the right bait.
