Are you stuck in a cycle of CANI?
I was...
Whatโs CANI, you ask?
It stands for Constant and Neverending Improvement. It's a Tony Robbins concept that I learned many years ago.
CANI is great, but it can also hold you back from implementing and taking action because you never feel good enough!
Well, I have news for you...
YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH RIGHT NOW.
If you've been learning digital marketing for more than 12 months, you have everything you need to succeed.
It's just a matter of taking massive action, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, improving, and getting results.
So, if you're stuck in constant learning mode and find youโre not actually implementing what you learn, it's time to break free and start doing what you already know! :-)
Amazing things will happen when you trust the process.
P.S. This is a photo of me considering buying a new Superdry coat because I think the one I already have isn't good enough, even though itโs perfectly fine.
In the end, I didnโt buy the new coat because I donโt need it right now.
Itโs similar to many other things we buy just for the sake of it.
However, I must say, I do like the coat, and when my current one is no longer usable, I will definitely be getting this one!
It doesn't have to be fancy, it doesn't have to be perfect... you just have to do it. ๐ฏ
Take action today & the results will follow! ๐
If youโre showing up only when you feel like it, or if youโre jumping from one thing to another, progress will be slow... ๐
Struggling Home Biz Owner:
"Iโm finally ready to make money with my home business!"
Coach / Mentor:
"Awesome! How many people have you reached out to today?"
Struggling Home Biz Owner:
"Wellโฆ none yet. Iโm kinda waiting for them to come to me. You know... attraction marketing? ๐
"
Coach / Mentor:
"So, youโre scared to approach people but want the sales to just roll in? Makes sense. Meanwhile, your bills are like, 'Hey, weโre not scared to show up!' ๐"
Struggling Home Biz Owner:
"Ugh, fineโฆ Iโll send some messages. Wish me luck!"
Coach / Mentor:
"You don't need luck, you've just got to do it. Get out there and build relationships... connect with others, solve problems... Or continue to struggle, your choice. ๐"
Coach / Mentor:
"Oh, and youโll need to do this daily. Not just once. Consistency is key!"
=========
Bottom line: If you're posting and hoping or spraying and praying... youโre going to stay broke... for a loooonnnggg time.
The best marketers out there combine Active Prospecting with Attraction Marketing.
And in the early days, when no oneโs beating down your doorโฆ
YOU have to go out there and start those conversations.
Butโฆ
Donโt be that pushy door-to-door salesperson who chases, pesters, or bugs people...
That just makes you look desperate.
Instead, be genuinely interested in the other person.
Ask questions, understand their struggles, and if what youโve got is a match, then invite them to take a look at your product, service, or opportunity, naturally and without being weird.
NEWSFLASH
Just poking around on social media for the sake of it will NOT grow your business.
You need a STRATEGY.
Itโs as simple as that.
Randomly posting content, having conversations, watching videos, and commenting on other people's posts wonโt cut it.
When you sit down at your computer to work on your business, you should have a clear strategy, a solid plan, and a DMO (Daily Method of Operation).
You need to know exactly what you need to do, get it done, see results, and then step away from your computer to enjoy your life.
Don't trade your 9-5 job for a 24/7 business; it's meant to provide you with time freedom.
If you're struggling, I understand, and I'm sorry to hear that.
There are solutions.
You just need to ask the right people for help AND then take daily, consistent action when you receive that help.
What Year Did You Start Building a Business Online? For Me, it Was 2004... ๐

I'm putting together a 5-page guide that shows you 10 different ways you can make $100,000 online in the next 12 months...
If you'd like a copy when it's finished later this week, let me know below! ๐๐๐
=========
Over the years, Iโve generated millions in sales online.
Iโve enrolled over 1,000 people in multiple opportunities, built teams of tens of thousands, and helped countless others make thousands, tens of thousands, and even hundreds of thousands online.
I've achieved this through a combination of Network Marketing, Affiliate Marketing, Coaching, Course Creation, and more.
The image attached to this post is recognition from JVZoo, a very popular affiliate marketing platform, for the $100k I earned with them a few years ago.
Plus, a few days ago, I received an email inviting me to join their top earners society! :-)
Now, I don't share this to brag, because that's not my style.
However, I do want to inspire you and give you confidence that I know what I'm doing and can help you on your path to success online.
So...
I'm putting together a 1-page guide that outlines 10 different ways you can make $100,000 online in a 12 month period.
It will be pretty simple and basic, but it's going to show you a number of different scenarios to hit that 6 figure mark.
If you'd like a copy when it's finished later this week, just let me know below... and I'll reach out to you with how to get it ๐๐

This process has helped me generate $1.5 million in sales online, enroll over 1,000 personal signups, and build teams of tens of thousands over the years.
This is my Master Level Marketer System.
Obviously this is the blurred out version. If you'd like the full version, pop on over to my Social Sales Simplified FB Group and you'll find it in the guides section...
https://www.facebook.com/groups/socialsalessimplified
For those of you who have been with me for a while... we focus on the HIGH-TOUCH part of the process first.
(The bits in yellow)
The high touch is the personal connection, relationship building, and one-on-one aspect of your business.
This is where the money is ultimately made!
Actually speaking to people.
Yes, you can add in a little bit of simple tech in the early days, but you don't need a lot.
Let's get you to $2-5k per month first, then we can grow and scale from there.
And it's a skill you own for life!
Your goal should be to attract 10 new leads per day and gain 2-3 new personal customers or signups per week in your business before moving on to the high-tech.
Do this for 90 days and you'll have a predictable and repeatable social media sales sequence you can use for any business, on any platform, at any time.
Then you move on to the High-Tech part of the process.
This is where you set up your automated systems and sales funnels.
This creates leverage and time freedom in your business!
Then, once you have a leveraged system that works for you 24/7 selling your core offer...
Then add in the multiple streams of income (High-Profits).
P.S. If this image looks overwhelming, that's because it is!
And you shouldn't be trying to implement it all at once.
Remember, High-Touch, High-Tech, High-Profits in that order.

See you on the inside :-)

Up until 2013, I had made a lot of money online, but nothing life-changing...
I joined another opportunity and managed to enroll 28 people in just 19 days, but nobody was duplicating, and I had no idea why.
After going for a run, I had a light bulb moment...
I realized I needed to keep things simple.
So, I went back to the basics and figured out what I had done to enroll all those people.
I broke it down into a simple 6-Step Social Media Sales Sequence: Create, Capture, Connect, Comment, Communicate, Close.
I taught it to my team :-)
Then, something powerful happened...
I got proof that going back to basics and keeping things simple for my team had worked.
On March 9th, 2013, the day after my son was born, I received an email that said, "You have a new team member."
I thought, "Hmm, that's strange, I haven't enrolled anyone recently."
Then it suddenly dawned on me: one of my team members had referred someone!
Then I got another notification...
And another...
And another...
And another...
And another...
All of a sudden, the team exploded and grew rapidly.
People were achieving results for the first time ever.
Duplication was happening!
My team grew to 183, then 500 or so, then many thousands.
Then many more.
I was incredibly excited!
And the reason it worked was because we kept things SIMPLE.
It was easy to do and anyone could do it.
And thatโs when everything changed for me.
Suddenly, my team was duplicating, and my business was thriving.
I was freaking out with excitement!
And the funny thing is... a lot of that early growth happened while I was on paternity leave with my family, including my newborn son, Ben. :-)
This is the simple social media sales system and process I teach to my coaching clients and their teams today.
It's evolved a long way since then, and now it's even more powerful :-)

Check out this screenshot from one of my clients, Srini. He came to me wanting to create a predictable and repeatable social media sales sequence that he could teach to his team for duplication.
Wellโฆ he cracked it fairly quickly!
Within just 3 months, he had enrolled 25 people and taught his process to his team, which then grew to 100 members. Pretty impressive!
Now, from my experience, Sriniโs results are above average, and he already had some online experience.
For most people with less experience, I recommend aiming for these goals within a 90-day period:
โ
Grow your audience by an extra 500 targeted followers.
โ
Generate 300 qualified leads.
โ
Gain 12 new customers or sign-ups.
This is easily achievable with the right process, system, and mentoring.
Now, think about it...
What would that mean for you?
What would it do for your business and income?
What impact would it have on your belief and self-confidence
Knowing you could set and hit incremental goals to grow your business and absolutely SMASH them would be a huge boost, wouldnโt it?
The confidence youโd gain from hitting these goals would catapult you to success much faster than ever before.
Then, you just repeat the process over and over again, teaching it to your team and achieving massive duplication.
Seeโฆ
As an online network marketer, one of the BIGGEST challenges you face is setting goals that are too ambitious for the short termโaiming for the big bucks and ranks before youโve even made a sale.
So, lower your expectations in the short term but make them bigger in the long term.
Once youโve cracked the code ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! ๐
