Praestabilis – Excellence in Marketing – 075

Welcome to Episode 75 of Praestabilis: Excellence in Marketing

Praestabilis

Welcome! In Episode 75 I discuss the concept of being “four-walled” by well-meaning family members and friends. Learn from my experiences and fast track your success in every area of your life.

If you’re just starting out as an online entrepreneur, you may have already had the experience of family members and friends discouraging you from achieving your goals and dreams. We’ve all had this occur in on form or another. Although it may come across as hurtful, know that these people simply want to protect you from something they know little about.

If you think about it, it makes sense that people who love and care about you will want to shield you from financial ruin and disappointment. I encourage you to sit down with them right now to discuss what you are working to achieve and how they can further encourage and support you as you go forward.

These people are “four-walling” your dream by creating a box and putting us inside of it where we are surrounded on all sides. We must take this behavior in the way it is given – with love and respect.

Entrepreneurship is risky by nature, but leaving a job and living off your savings takes that risk to the next level. It’s your job to do the best you can and to take action every day to build your reputation and gain the trust of our loved ones. Show them that you do have a plan, as well as a mentor to guide you to success. Make sure you have enough money set aside to cover all of your living expenses for the next six months to a year.

The word “praestabilis” means outstanding and extraordinary and this is the goal for you as you make your way in the online world.

It took me until age 50 to step into the light and live an empowered life. I achieved this by leaving a job – classroom teaching – and a career as a real estate broker and appraiser to come online as an entrepreneur. I have no regrets about waiting so long, as everything unfolds once we are open to receiving it. There are three top strategies to help you move closer to an empowered life and they include…

  • Writing – Every day, I want you to write! This includes blog posts, outlines, emails to your prospects, clients, and potential joint venture partners. Also, write short reports and white papers to show others who you are and what you know. Finally, write a book to solidify your expertise in your niche, and follow that up with additional books over time. Writing is crucial to our process of standing out from the crowd by sharing what we know and believe. Reach out to me if you’re interested in coming aboard for my “10 Week Author” program.

  • Speaking – I was the reluctant speaker, but once I got past my fears and insecurities you can’t get the microphone away from me. Speak about yourself and your topic to anyone who will listen. I began by speaking at my Rotary Club and I continue to recommend service organizations as a way to break in to speaking. Now I speak all over the world, in person and virtually on a variety of topics.
  • Masterminding – Connecting with others for the sole purpose of reaching your full potential is crucial to life success. Find a Mastermind group to join, or start your own by inviting thought leaders to connect with you in this way. I have a group called the Incubator Mastermind that may be of interest to you.

Hopefully, you can see that what I’m sharing with on each podcast will make a difference for you as you build and grow your business as an entrepreneur, author, and marketer. Make sure to think of marketing as a priority and get into the habit of sharing your best ideas and resources with the people who are on their way to becoming your raving fans!

Having an online business is a gift from God and the universe and something that I am thankful for each day. I urge you to consider earning at least part-time income from a home-based business and know that I am more than happy to assist you in getting started and growing a business as an online entrepreneur, author, and marketer. These are the areas I focus on each day so that I am able to give my attention to the tasks and activities that are important in my business:

  • Writing – Every day, I want you to write! This includes blog posts, outlines, emails to your prospects, clients, and potential joint venture partners.

Now I speak all over the world, in person and virtually on a variety of topics.
  • Leading – Leadership is an area I want you to embrace and pursue. We are all natural leaders, but many times this doesn’t come to light until and unless there is a crisis of some kind. Instead, look for opportunities to step forward and lead others to achieve their own greatness and worth. Community involvement is an excellent way to address issues you care about in a way that brings out your leadership instincts.
  • Transparency – One thing I absolutely love about the internet is how it paves the way for all of us to be transparent. When I first came online with my business in 2006, I “Googled” myself to see what was there. I found a testimonial I had given for a real estate training I’d completed the year before, as well as the interview Parade magazine had conducted with me about my experiences as a classroom teacher in the inner city of Los Angeles. I understood at that moment that everything I said and did could be found on the internet, immediately or eventually. It’s up to us to make sure we are transparent in every way, and to use this as a way for people to find us online and perhaps do business with us.

By my willingness to reinvent myself I’ve been able to change my life significantly through the decades. I’ve written a post about this called Reinventing Myself… Version 5. We’re always moving forward when we surrender and reinvent.

What are you doing right now in your life and your business that is working? Where do you need to make some changes? How may I best serve you as you surrender to doing what it takes? As humans, we are capable of reinventing ourselves as we change and grow.
