Fail your way to Success

noreply@blogger.com (Jackie) — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 05:36:00 +0000

On Sunday after going to lunch with my partner and her parents, we went over to watch a special at her parents from 20/20 about WINNING - Young Millionaires, Failures before they Succeeding & Getting Rich in America that was TIVO'd . One of the parts was about a couple of people who failed, failed and failed before they finally Succeeded in their Business.

One particular person, Jake Burton story really hit home with me. He was in a snowboard business and he kept trying to sell his snowboards and nobody wanted them. He thought all he needed to do was sell them. So after practically getting himself into debt and going into depression he thought long and hard about what he needed to do and made a life changing decision. He started THINKING about Snowboarding instead of trying to sell them. That made a lot of sense to me and it made me wonder how I was pursuing my own Travel Business. I feel like I have thought more of the Travel aspect of my Business and I am taking the right route to make myself succeed...well, my partner and I together.

The second failure, she was fun, her name is Sara Blakely, who invented SPANX.
She had failed at a lot things. When she was young, she wanted to be like her father, a trial attorney and she failed the LSAT. Then, she decided to sell Fax machines to Businesses and completely failed at it. But she was taught when she was growing up that if she wasn't failing, then she wasn't trying. Another thing, about her interview that I enjoyed and had never considered while I fail at my own ventures is, that Failure is a way of letting life let you know you're off course. That also hit me hard.

I always thought I was doing something wrong or not doing enough of something. Every Business I have done I have learned something from, so maybe I am just setting myself up for Success. And Succeeding does just take time, patience and persistence and then it will happen. :)

New Blog Makeover

noreply@blogger.com (Jackie) — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 02:27:00 +0000

In the next couple of weeks I will be moving my Blog to Wordpress and will be changing to a cut line template.

I think I write a pretty decent Blog and would like more Exposure, so before I get more exposure to my Blog, I would like to give it a makeover. With all the great tips in the Blogging World, I would like to maximize my Blog and use it to its fullest potential.

I am still working on my Travel Blog slowly.

Anyway, so keep a lookout for the new layout and style. ;)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! :D

Tagged: 5 Questions for Jacquelyn

noreply@blogger.com (Jackie) — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 05:15:00 +0000

Chris Jacobson, from Money Making Scoop had tagged me to answer some questions about Making Money Online and well, here they are:

1. How long have you been Blogging?

Hmm, well, my earliest Blog, was way before it had been called a 'Blog' with what was then called an online journal, back in 2000? My more 'Official' blog began in 2005, when I had been doing GPT's (Get Paid to's) a more personal one began in 2004 on Blogger.

2. What inspired you to start a blog and who are your mentors?

What inspired me to start a Blog, is being able to express myself. Although after learning the true power of a Blog and my passion for Home Business, I had began doing Business Blogs for my Network Marketing company I had been with.

3. Are you trying to make money online, or are you just doing it for fun?
Hmm, yes I am. I mostly do all of my Business off line via telephone, but I do gain Leads online through my Lead capture page and I am looking to build a more passive income online with my Travel Booking site.

4. Tell me 3 things you LOVE being Online?

The ABILITY to Make Money Online.

The ABILITY to Express ones self.

The information you get at your finger tips if you just Google it, or in my case Blingo it :D

5. Tell me 3 things you STRUGGLE with in the online world?

FOCUS - There are so many opportunities and things to do online, it can really easily set you off track from your main goal.

I only have one. :)

I am going to go ahead and tag a couple of people that I think would enjoy this

FlavaOfBlog - met Ginene at a forum we both visit.

DirectSalesWebMarketing - Met Dennis at a forum we both frequent also.

Working with Leads

noreply@blogger.com (Jackie) — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 19:12:00 +0000

Whether self-generated or purchased there are always some things you need to keep in mind to get the most out of your Leads:

1) Contact your Leads AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! Because if you do not, in time they can lose interest, sign-up with someone else or change their mind.

2) DO NOT sell them on the first phone call! The first phone call to your lead is about building rapport, getting to know them and seeing if this is something that they could do or want to do. Once you gain interest you will schedule an appointment to do the Presentation.

3) After you have done the Presentation with the prospect, they will need time to think about it. You will then need to follow up in a couple of days and close.

4) Once you close, Welcome your new Team Member and then send them the necessary information to get started immediately! :)

The key to Success is Consistency and in the Follow-up. :)

Successful Blog?

noreply@blogger.com (Jackie) — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 06:54:00 +0000

Well to further my studies on how to have a Successful Blog and how and what techniques I would like to implement in doing so...I came across an interesting and paid courses to take to become a Successful Blogger.

The first one is called SixFigureBlogging.com - It is a Self-Study Course that will show you how to make money with your Blog. The Course is $325.00. Not that bad for all the information it looks like you will be getting. Of course, like it says it is an Investment and you will need to work. I found this on Problogger.net. I must admit, I am interested in the course but...I will get into detail on that in a minute.

The next item, I discovered on Entrepreneurs-journey.com, is actually his own Mastermind Group for Blogging. Its a service, $77 a month and this Pro will show you what it takes to make money Blogging. I am also interested in this also, but like I said I will get into it in a minute as is to why I will not be signing up at this time. The website, BTW is BlogMastermind.com

Ok Ready?

The reason why I won't be joining and as great as they both look and how much I want to just go for it, there is plenty of FREE information right now on the internet on how to be a Successful Blogger and I want to soak up all that information and implement it before I take it a step further. My goal yes, is to get travel bookings from my Travel Blog but at the same time, I know that will take time and so in the mean time I need to find other ways to make money booking Travel and also building my Team.

Although, if anyone is interested, check them out...I would do them!

Business....Finally (Cross Post MySpace)

noreply@blogger.com (Jackie) — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 06:49:00 +0000

Well tonight we printed off some Business cards for the Travel Business and I printed off a few also for my Jerky Business.

Then I decided to place an Ad in the paper, which will be coming out next week.

I admit, and I hate to admit it...but I think I am just scared to death of Succeeding. Sometimes I think is this really all I want for myself? Its REALLY NOT. I read it a lot from other Business owners and articles and such online but you need to take your mind set out of the "Consumer" and put it into the "Merchant" type mind set, or you will be forever waiting on that paycheck every week WISHING you were doing what you WANT be doing. I must have read almost every peice of self-help, marketing, business book on the Subject of being a Business owner. I KNOW what it takes. All these years with multiple businesses and some doing well and others not, I know I can do this full time. Yet, I always hold back.

Whenever I try not to think about it and I watch movies, I still get the same message..."Go after your Dreams" . On Thursday night I watched "Baby Boom" , I love that movie. An 80's movie. Anyway its about a Corporate Yuppie (woman) who inherits her deceased cousin's daughter and it turns her whole world upside and then the Corporate world shuns her because she is no longer the hard baller that she used to be...and in the Corporate world, may I remind you, your ONLY importance is to make sure that the Company makes money....not your Family, not your time, etc...anyway so she decides to quit after her understudy gets her position and moves to the country with the baby (named Elizabeth BTW ) and soon runs low on the money and decides to make gourmet baby food with the millions of fruit that she has on her acres...well at first, everyone tells her no...being any kind of Business or Sales person, we all love hearing the NO word ...well, finally people start seeing how great this baby food is, everyone buys it and she soon needs employees and opens up a factory and she hits the newspapers etc...yada yada....ANYWAY the same company who shunned her wants to BUY her out LOL! ...Of course they don't....but the point is...she followed her dreams and made it happen, when everyone else told her NO...again love the word : P

Then we watch Last Holiday, that was a cute movie too....A chick finds out she is dying and decides what the hell and quits her crappy job and pursues everything in her life she has always wanted to pursue. Of course in the end they say she isn't going to die after all...but that is beside the point.

Yes, they are only movies but #1, they provide good messages regarding life and #2, there are real life scenarios like it.

Tips: 1) Never listen to the naysayers in your life 2) Follow your Dreams

HOLIDAY HAUL!

Domain Hell

noreply@blogger.com (Jackie) — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 03:12:00 +0000

Well I had a business domain, that I forgot had expired. So then, I decide to transfer it to my favorite domain site. Yahoo! But because I forgot the domain had already expired I had contacted Yahoo! and they said that Register.com owns the domain till 2008, so I cancel the domain order for Yahoo! and wait till I have time to renew the domain again through Register.com.

Well today, I go to renew the domain and someone had already purchased it. Which you have no idea how this screws me up because it was my host domain and my host domain has been down since the domain expired. So now I no longer have that domain and I am fine with it as I do own 8 other domains that I currently use. My old Host DayanaHost.com, is expiring in March 2008 so I am just going to go ahead and NOT renew. I already have a new Host that lets me have unlimited of addons, subdomains, etc...and I will be setting up my Projects with my domains so I can have those sites up. One of my Projects is a training site for my Team, it will be a generic training site because I am in more than one business, a website for those interested in working from home (non-business related per se), my own personal site, plus I maybe moving my Blog to WordPress.

I have MANY sites. I LOVE my sites. I would like to build more, eventually I would like one more Professional made, because well I am a simple HTML girl and I like using templates with simple HTML when I build my sites. But at the moment, I am happy with what I build and if I would like to build my Web Design skill I can always do that as well.

TIP: Make sure to renew your domain as soon as it expires. Also if you have domains that you are not using at the moment but do not want to let them go, park them and you can get paid. Sedo.com is a good place to do this.

Popular Things right now

noreply@blogger.com (Jackie) — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 04:54:00 +0000

Decided to Blog about some things going on in the News and Media right now. I do have some Topics I do want to share either as a Blog Post or Article but after having to work a hectic Schedule last week at work I thought I would just discuss a little lightly right now.

1) HOLIDAYS - Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas. A lot of Business Gurus are taking the time to get ready for the Holiday Season to Market their Business, Products or Services to those who need extra cash for the Holiday Season.

2) POLITICS - A lot of Politicians are getting ready for the next Elections and most news is about Debates, whether Online or Offline. The next Election for President is in 2008. MySpace is bringing more visitors using this kind of Marketing.

3) BLOGGING - Blogging is getting very BIG and very Popular, especially since the Explosion of Web 2.0 or also known as Social Media. One of the best new ways to get Traffic, Visitors and Sales. Also BlogRush.com, which has shunned millions of Blogs, for no real reason, normally for keeping Spam Blogs.

4) CELEBRITY GOSSIP - Britney Spears is a #1 Story right now. I make sure I check TheSupercial.com everyday for latest celebrity news.

5) GOOGLE - Making most Internet Marketers fear their Google Ranking with the recent change of how Google will be doing their Page Rank.
