ABC's Secret Millionaire Dani Johnson appears on Good Morning America

2011-03-03T09:19:00.001-07:00

Dani Johnson is on the road doing interviews promoting ABC's Secret Millionaire. Her first stop was a week ago on Oprah. Today Good Morning America, and tomorrow at "The View."

The Secret Millionaire will air this Sunday. We can see the whole 45 minute show and what really happened to Dani when she went to Knoxville. How she met Helen and Ellen from The Love Kitchen and The Joy of Music, who are grooming the next generation for success.

I loved the Secret Millionaire when it aired a couple years ago but I always wondered "who are these millionaires and why wouldn't they just give money without going on TV" Isn't it a little self serving for them to do it on TV? An then I heard that Dani was going to be one of the millionaire. My immediate thought was this, That is a perfect platform for Dani Johnson. I know she gives back more that any one person I personally know. I know she teaches others to do the same. That is her passion that is why she does what she does. Earn money and help others. Dani is a great example and one story that needs to be told to many people. It is an inspiring one.

Dani teaches people through seminars, cd's, books, calls, audio on the web how to run a very successful home based business. She teaches people skills like no other. People skills that have given us an edge in social media. Respect and honor and the art of asking the right questions. She teaches how to talk to the different personality types.

Dani does not represent a specific company other that her own www.DaniJohnson.com
,
If you like Dani's style and want to join a team groomed up by the way she teaches, check us out at www.socialprofithub.com/workwithus
We are making a difference and building an army of people to help others find a better way.

The Gift by Stacy Krammer

2010-12-10T11:50:00.000-07:00

We all have the chance to get a gift like this, maybe not exactly like this but close. Recently I have had a gift like this ( not in the health category). I would not trade the experience but it seem like the gift that keeps on giving. Everyday I get to see another way "Our Gift" has effected our lives in a very positive way. I must admit I did not want this gift-in fact I tried to return it (many times) but it really didn't have a return policy. Which I am now very thankful for.

If you are curious what is in this box- watch this three minute video.

It's the "I have a DREAM" speach, not the "I have a PLAN Speach"

2010-12-07T10:29:00.000-07:00

Martin Luther King had a DREAM not a PLAN. People inspire people by WHY they do it! Are you motivated by the wrong thing? Ask the question...What is the wrong thing? Mayby money? I am not saying money is bad by any means but if that is your only motivator you are selling yourself and others short. People need a why, a belief, a cause to make things better. That inspires! You might fail a hundred times along the way BUT is you are inspired and have inspired others it doesn't matter you keep going until you get it right---GREAT LEADERS INSPIRE OTHERS! Watch this video....

Facebook-The Modern Day Smoke Break?

2010-12-06T19:34:00.000-07:00

I agree completely with Jason Fried. The question is "Where do you go to get work DONE?" For me either early in the morning or late at night when I get uninterrupted time. I just get more done. I might take a "Modern day smoke break" ie:Facabook (LOL) BUT that is when I can get so much done. This is a great video I highly recommend you take 20 minutes and watch this. He is very wise. I would love to hear your comments.

Is It OK to Automate Your Social Media?

2010-09-06T19:21:00.001-06:00

Yes, I think it is okay to automate your Twitter feeds. What I mean is that loading a program like Tweetdeck, SocialOomph or MarketMeTweet with tweets to be sent out through out the day are appropriate on Twitter. These are efficiency tools if you are utilizing Twitter to build your brand.

NO! I think it is fake and phony to be using automation tools to post on people's walls on Facebook. I think you will be doing more harm that good if your are using these kinds of tool. Your friends on Facebook are more savvy than most people give them credit. If you are caught using one of these tools your credibility will go down the drain fast! In social media one wrong move is hard to recover from.

I have heard that Twitter is getting ready to shut down systems like TweetAdder. They are going to make public those that are creating their follow list with systems such as these. So I would think twice before using them. They may seem easy, but there is no replacing old fashion relationship building in Social Media.

Are you suffering from G.I.G? (Grass is Greener Syndrome)

2010-08-25T00:17:00.001-06:00

Which is Greener? I mean really!

Or maybe a better way of putting it is, “are you suffering from G.I.G. syndrome?”
That’s what myself and Kimber like to call the “Grass is Greener” syndrome.

There are so many in the home business industry that seem to suffer from this. It’s just sad!

Let me just say this right up front that I am a firm believer in “prospering where you are planted” in this industry.

I do believe with a 100% certainty that a person in our industry can absolutely create success in their company right where they are now.

How can I feel so strongly about that…we’ll FACTS (Results) DON’T LIE!

And the truth is that if there is ONE other person in your company who has created the kind of success you are looking for such as a 6 or 7 figure income or whatever success looks like for you, then YOU can create that same success too!

However, with that being said there are some reasons when it becomes necessary to look for another “home” in our industry. For example:

The company is shutting down
The company made a drastic change to their compensation plan that would make it hard for anyone to continue generating income
The company or leadership are acting unethically or illegally
The company’s values do NOT line up with your own or how you build your business

Now, you have to know that there is NOT one company that is perfect or free from occasional changes or “drama” episodes within the leadership. That’s just a fact of life in our industry because it’s an industry of “humans” and humans are NOT perfect! And company’s and leaders sometimes make mistakes. So when this happens, it’s important to look at how they make corrections and if they take responsibility for their actions. If they do, then this is NOT a deal-breaker because WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES!
But most people leave one company to avoid “drama” or what they see as things they don’t feel right about, only to find out that its also in the next company they join.
Or worse, they leave to be “at the Top” of the newest company out there–only to maybe have some initial success but it is only temporary because their income and company was built on “rocky ground!”
NOTE: If anyone is trying to recruit you from another company and is claiming to be a big TEAM BUILDER–recognize right now the difference between a Team Builder and a Team MOVER!”
There are lots of people out there claiming to be leaders that just keep moving teams from company to company at their benefit and are NOT building teams but just moving and stealing from other companies and teams–this type of stuff is what gives our industry such a bad name.

If they are a successful leader then they can build again with a WHOLE NEW TEAM without “raiding” others teams and companies-–so watch out for these people and their claims. They will get you in and then will be the first to take your team to their next company! You need to interview them and ask "who" they have groomed up. Ask for references. Don't just take their work for it. Get your own feel.You have to take the emotions out of it and make a sound business decision. I know their are smoke and mirrors in this industry. I also know there are GREAT companies and products but don't just take their word for it, get your own opinion.

Anyway… a little off topic but I feel strongly about that one as you can tell!

So, you have to make absolutely sure that if you are leaving your company, there are some MAJOR and valid reasons to do so and really look at where your next HOME is going to be.

With the popularity of social networking and so many people connected together in our industry, I think that the GIG syndrome has become worse. I have seen first hand some teams and incomes destroyed because others thought the Grass is Greener only to be left disappointed and lives and dreams shattered.
The GIG syndrome is brought on by so much HYPE out there and others acting out of fear of loss instead of really doing what it takes to create success right where they are.

Someone sees a post about “ground level”, NEW Super Galatic company with a HOT new product, yada, yada and everyone starts to jump into something they really have NOT done their due diligence but act out of sheer panic that they are going to miss out on the next BIG THING!

I would go out on a limb and say that more than 90% of the time, the next BIG THING will have their doors shut within the first couple of years.

Facts DON’T LIE and the truth is, very few companies make it their first year.
I learned something from my mentor a long time ago that seriously applies to just about everything in life and I would say that most successful people do this one thing, “Watch what everyone else is doing and do the opposite!” If you see a large group swarming to a new company, be leery.

Don’t be a follower out of fear or on some hype-y promises! If the opportunity is good, it will be there and you can create success in it, no matter when you decide to join!
Do your homework.
If you are one that is looking for a new “home,” here’s 5 things to look for in your next company:

History of the Company and its Leadership – Google the company and its Corporate leadership. Now, every company and person gets some occasional bad press out there but if you are seeing a pattern, that’s a clue to stay away. Is the company debt free? Have they been in business longer than 5 years? (That’s a real good bench mark that they will probably be around in the next 10+ years—there are however a few start up companies that are good! But they are the exception to the rule–so again…do your homework. With startups—really look at their management and their financial backing) Check out their score at BBB (Better Business Bureau) and see how they deal with their clients and complaints. Are they experienced in the market they are pitching? Do they have experience with their products and manufacturing? Google the company.
Check out the Team and Leader you would be partnering with – What’s the “culture of the team?” Do your values line up with theirs? Do they have a system in place to help you create success simply and timely? Do they have a proven track record and success stories? Are they FIRM in their company? How many companies have they been with and why? Did they get a special spot or a deal from the company. Did they build their income the same way you will be building yours. What is the time line they did it in. What can they offer you? (But remember, you have to bring what you can offer to the team to the table too. Most successful leaders will only work with a select few because of time and because they want to work with those who are serious and hungry). Do they have a system to be plugged into either marketing or training? Google the leaders names.
Must have a product that is unique, emotional and proven results - Check for success stories not only of the team members but also of their clients. If the compensation plan went away, would there still be a need for their product? Does it cause others to share results? Does it feel a need for most people? Do you LOVE the products or what they might be capable of? Google it.
Vision of the Company and Leadership – Interview them. See where they see themselves in the future. Do they have a clear vision that others will get behind? Will this be something that you can see yourself doing in 5, 10, 20 years if the company is still around?
A Solid and Unwavering Compensation Plan – Check out the results and stories of their leaders. How many 6 & 7 figure income earners have they produced? Many companies disclose this information along with what the average associate makes on their website (be leery of those that don’t!) How long did it take to create the stories? Check out the history of the compensation plan. How many changes have they made to it. If it’s been more than 1 in the last 5 – 10 years, I would stay far away. Look for companies that if they do change something, they enhance their compensation plan or add additional bonuses–that’s a WINNER!

I hope that you aren’t in a position of looking for a new GIG! But if you are, I hope that you will take your time and do your homework and don’t act out of fear of people whispering rumors and hype in your ear.
There are lots of great companies out there that are STABLE and are “sleepers” and might not be the one with all the “bells and whistles” but they will still be there creating Success Stories long after the ones that get tossed around on FaceBook will!

BOTTOM LINE: STAY WHERE YOU ARE…increase your skills…follow your successful leaders systems!

Social Media Improves Your Health!

2010-08-04T13:42:00.001-06:00

That's right, you heard me correctly. Researchers from Brigham Young University reviewed 148 studies that tracked the social habits of more than 300,000 people. They found that people who have strong ties to family, friends or co-workers have a 50 percent lower risk of dying over a given period than those with fewer social connections, according to the journal Plos Medicine.

WARNING-having weak social ties is dangerous to your health!

"The researchers concluded that having few friends or weak social ties to the community is just as harmful to health as being an alcoholic or smoking nearly a pack of cigarettes a day. Weak social ties are more harmful than not exercising and twice as risky as being obese, the researchers found. " read more at the New York Times "A New Risk Factor: Your Social Life".

So Facebook is in fact increasing your life span. There was another article I read about Facebook and Nursing Homes. I was saying the Facebook was turning that industry upside down.

Here is an expert:

"The #1 reason people die is their friends have died or been dispersed to the four winds; their family doesn’t visit them anymore, and they have no more reason to get up in the morning. I’m sure all of us have visited long-term care facilities and seen the blank stares and hopelessness of aged people living out their last days.
Facebook has changed that. There are many, many 77 year old folks in nursing homes who now have 60 Facebook friends and interact with them on an hourly basis. This is literally extending life spans – to the point of wreaking havoc in the long-term care industry. This is because many of the payment models are based on people living only so long and their communities on Facebook are literally extending their lives." by Perry marshall

With that being said here is my new and APPROVED health regime:

This has been a crazy week. My head is till having a hard time understanding the mass destruction. Watching TV and seeing clips posted on the internet. I never in my life seen so many people hurting, I mean actually watching it unfold. Facebook and twitter have been tools to at least help out is a small way and not feel so helpless. I have been so impressed and amazed by how many people who are reaching out. the two charity that I endorse are almost over 100 k since tuesday. That is alot of people doing what they can and it is adding up. I love the texting your donations, that seems to be getting everyone involed. That warms my heart. My kids are thinking of ways they can help. They have been giving up their small luxury's. I have been torn by what to show them and what not to show them but I do want them to see and feel like even their action can help those who need it. They are contributing along with the world. I know we haven't seen the wost of it. There is so much work to be done!

Back For More Abuse--But I Love It!

2010-01-06T17:32:00.003-07:00

Ok I dusted of my wave today. I bought it on one of those late night shopping infomercial deals. Trying to get my moneys worth. You know the Gym before the Gym concept LOL. (I need to get in shape so I can play Wii with the kids) Today is the day I started my new years health goals. No more late night candy binges. I told Cali to get ready to do the wave, next thing I know she showed up in her swim suit top, sweats she has grown out of and vest of some sort. They didn't match but she did look good. She stuck with me through the full work out. I have a feeling I am going to be soar in the morning and I am sure Cali will be just fine. Max just kept laughing at us, he thought we where nuts! ~Jodi

Great Game!

2010-01-05T13:26:00.000-07:00

We picked up the Wii game Just Dance at Target on New Years Eve and we can't stop playing it! Chris is even dancing to it! This is a riot. I thought I was a serious competitor until I hurt my back. Tanner is the winner so far but Cali and Max are a close second. We have 4 controllers going and the neighborhood in our living room playing this. I will post some video later so you can all enjoy.~Jodi
