How To Use Motivation When Constructively Criticizing Someone

Throughout my working career I have learned that a person can actually motivate someone to do better by the use of constructive criticism. If your words are too harsh when expressing your thoughts of how a person can improve, believe me, you might be in for a word fight…or in some cases, a fist fight. Here are some suggestions on how to actually use motivation when constructively criticizing someone:

Why Dating Someone You Meet Online Can Be Dangerous

There are all kinds of dating sites a person can visit online these days.  There are even some great stories of people having success with finding a life mate, from those dating sites.  Unfortunately there are also stories of heartbreak, disappointments, adultery, fraudulent activity and even murder.  Yes dating in this fashion may just put you in some serious danger!

Not Everybody You Meet Online is an Honest Person

Even if you yourself are an honest person, not everyone is like you.  Remember that honesty is not the best policy for some unscrupulous people out there.  The internet may “look” safe to you as regards to finding a mate online, but you must be very careful about who you choose to deal with.  Don’t let those TV commercials fool you. You know, the ones where a certain dating website is being advertised and the couples on there are just so overjoyed with having met their “soul mate.”  All that glitters is not gold, trust.  The Internet seems to make certain kinds of dishonesty easier to practice and harder to detect. And when it comes to romantic attachments, dishonesty presents some terrible dangers.

The Internet Allows Dishonest People To Hide Who They Really Are

We see many stories about people committing fraud online and I am not just talked about identity theft and credit card information thieves either.  I am talking about the thieves of the heart who like to pounce on unsuspecting people with lies and deception. This can be applied to “those who hide their purposes or designs from others, or who conceal their real character and intentions.” How is such dishonesty practiced on the Internet? And what dangers does this present to those who are looking for romance?

There Are Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing Online

Not only can it be dangerous for adults but it can also be dangerous for teens and children alike! There have been too many news reports of adult sexual predators who pretend to be youths as they prowl the Internet seeking to prey on young ones. There are even TV programs where undercover investigators have to pretend to be youths to help catch these unsuspecting creeps.  Even though the show is disturbing, pedophiles get put behind bars before they can abuse any more young ones.

Granted, not everyone you meet over the Internet is a dangerous predator. However, there are additional ways in which people “hide what they are.”

Deception and Secrecy – Here Are The Dangers

It is all too common for someone to exaggerate their good traits and minimize their faults.  It is also all too common for unhappily married individuals to seek someone for friendship and romance online in secrecy. 

Internet dating can be bad because people get deceived.  Some people like to upload fake pictures of themselves, lie about their income levels, lie about their sex, lie about marital status, lie about their race, lie about criminal history, lie about their mental health histories, etc.  To warn others, many people have reported painful experiences of being misled by people they have dated after meeting them on the internet.

A young man from Ireland named Sean admits: “It’s very easy to pretend to be something you’re not when you’re typing onto a computer screen.” Dishonesty is the worst possible basis for any relationship, especially one that is intended to lead to a lifelong union.

A Virtual Meeting or A Real Life Courtship?

Internet dating may present other dangers. A person can grow so attached to the individual or individuals they meet online, that that relationship can end up being more real than with someone they know or meet offline.  In some cases, they may spend more time online with that person or persons, than they spend with the own family and friends, even neglecting their own day to day responsibilities.

There really is no substitute for meeting someone live and in person.  I know for me personally, when I met my husband during a gathering of friends, it was great and I wasn’t even looking for or expecting to meet anybody special that night.

Back in 1997, some years before I met my husband, I had personally fallen victim to a dishonest person who although he was married, decided to “fall in love” with me.  Did he tell me he was married? Of course not.  Did I know? No.  Why? Because I had met him in an online chat room.  He intentionally hid who he really was from me and 3 months, yes 3 months later after all of the love messages and daily phone calls, he just decided to tell me a lie about how he had to end our relationship.  He had to end it because his “ex-girlfriend” came back into his life pregnant with his child and he had to marry her.  I found out 3 years later (when he finally told me the truth) that she had been his wife for more than 15 years!  Our short 3 month online “courtship” was all based on a lie, I felt like such a fool upon learning the whole truth!  Why he took so long to tell me was crazy.  What made it even worst is that I was not the only one he was playing games with online.

If You Want To Look For A Mate Online Do Your Research

Don’t let your feelings and emotions get in the way of you getting the real story from a person.  You should ask them questions, letting them know that you expect honest answers and you should be upfront and honest about yourself for them.

Don’t fall too quickly! You must be cautious when dealing with people, especially those you meet online.  If a person tells you they love you much much too soon, something is usually not quite right.  Be wise.  If they are in love they should be open with you and if you have to, do some research on that person.  Make sure they are who they say they are.

You Can Make Balanced Use Of The Internet

The internet can be a very helpful and resourceful tool if used properly.  E-mail and Video Chat are nice ways of staying in touch with your friends and family, especially if they live far away, but nothing is better than face-to-face contact.

When it comes to dating and you are mature enough to do so, always make responsible decisions.  If you absolutely want to try using the internet to find a mate online, again, be honest with the other person and expect the same from them. Be balanced, use precautions and make sure of all things.  Find out if you are truly compatible with that person, especially when it comes to your interests spiritual goals and values.

This is a ground floor opportunity to become an affiliate for a company that is already 6 years old. It is a brick and mortar company and they are a wholesale printing company that carries a great assortment of products. Products that all businesses and network marketing people need and use on a regular basis. This is the first time a printing company has done this. As of this writing they are in stage one, the beta testing stage. If you decide to take advantage of this very special and very early enrollment phase, you will be grandfathered into the top tier or rank for major financial benefit over the following 6 months.

Getting into the business early as an affiliate, the plan will pay off in a big way if you are able to build your business of any size. You will make money off of all people you sign up into this business for five levels. Everyone should take the company up on this offer. This is huge!

There is no cost ever to participate in this 5 level affiliate marketing program. Personally, I am simply looking for leaders, people who will join our team and go to work. This opportunity with ViralPrint is not for those who will sit and never tell anybody about it. This is for those who like to get the jump on things, who understand what Beta is, and who will take advantage of the offer and start building a business.

I know a LOT of people and businesses that have printing product needs. Most use business cards, banners, magnetic signs, post cards and much more. This makes a lot of sense for businesses to join in the Beta of ViralPrint because of the big savings on the products and share with others who want to save on their products.  Help save you and them money.

How To Use Motivation When Constructively Criticizing Someone

How To Use Motivation When Constructively Criticizing Someone

Nobody likes to be criticized unless it is for a constructive reason.  Sometimes even that makes the person being criticized want to lash back at the person doing the constructive criticizing! Of course those types of people are the ones who don’t like to be told what to do and how to do it anyway.

I know for me personally, I have been criticized harshly in the past and I have experienced some well thought out constructive criticism.  What is my preference? The well thought out constructive criticism.  To be CONSTRUCTIVELY criticized by an individual who cares about me works well.  It helps and motivates me to want to do better.

Throughout my working career I have learned that a person can actually motivate someone to do better by the use of constructive criticism.  If your words are too harsh when expressing your thoughts of how a person can improve, believe me, you might be in for a word fight…or in some cases, a fist fight.  Here are some suggestions on how to actually use motivation when constructively criticizing someone:

See Yourself As A Teacher Or A Coach

Teachers and coaches help people, not hinder people, so you must always keep in  mind that you are trying to help the individual whom you are speaking to.

Show That You Care

Always verbally relay the message of caring about that person.  Make sure that they know this from the beginning of the conversation.  This is not a “what’s in it for you” scenario, but a “what’s in it for them” scenario.

Choose The Right Moment To Offer The  Criticism

Make certain that your timing it just right.  Approach them at a time where you know they are relaxed and not upset over something.

Avoid Telling That Person What They Should Or Should Not Do

The word “should” will make you appear rigid and pedantic, which basically boils down to sounding nit picky.  Instead say things such as “here is what you may find easier” or “may I tell you what I’ve learned?” or even, “how about implementing this strategy?” Motivate that person through upbuilding words and encouragement.

Show Them The Benefits

Yes show them! People will realize and feel like you really do care about them when you actually show them what works and how they themselves can benefit from it. Then think of their strengths and verbalize how you know that they can do the things you are suggesting to them because of  their talents, experience, background and/or work ethic.

Be Specific

You do not want to sow seeds of doubt or anxiety when speaking with the person.  Never be vague with the suggestions you are bringing to the table. Remember along with motivating a person into action, you’ll need to be able to set them on the right course. A course that they will want to follow.

If you yourself have any other suggestions on how to use motivation when constructively criticizing someone, feel free to comment below.

Why You Should Use Realistic Drop Cards For Your Business

Categories:

Why You Should Use Realistic Drop Cards For Your Business….

Drop cards look like real money, but they are actual “business cards” and they are also used to promote events or even used as discount cards.  When people see them lying around, they DO pick them up.  For good reason too, because again, they look just like real cash!  They also tend to work better than the regular ole’ business card.  In today’s economy, people want more income even if they do end up finding it on the ground or on the floor. If they see it, it’s theirs!  Of course I am not talking about the great stories  of honest people who find wallets and wads of cash only to return it to the original owner.  Yes, KEEP doing that.  What I am talking about though is finding random “bills” lying around out in the open with no obvious owner around.  It’s a rare find but it happens.

As of this writing even my 7 year old daughter who is saving up for a doll is collecting the extra cash (change) she has been finding lying around the house. Oh wait, that may not be relevant because she is actually looking and on a mission to find as much as she can, but it’s fun to watch.

When it comes down to your business though, drop cards can be used as a passive way to get people to look at what you have to offer.  It’s a clever way to market offline and fun to watch people pick them up.  Some people may indeed pick up the drop card and take a quick look around to see if they “saw” anyone actually drop it, but others will quickly pick it up,  smile and think to themselves or even say out loud, “Ooh Money!” put it right into their pocket and keep stepping. Either way, if someone sees the drop card they will NOT just ignore it.  They will react, bend down and then lay hands on it with a quickness!

The most popular drop cards marketers purchase are the $100 ones.  The lower denominations are cool, but the higher denomination ones are the most recommended for this type of marketing.

Here is a list of how and where you can use this offline marketing strategy:

1. Purchase them from http://www.dropcardswork.com

2. Bring them with you whenever you leave the house.

3. Nonchalantly drop them on the ground in busy parking lots, grocery stores, clothing stores (for malls, take 100 and drop em’ all in varies places), at networking events, beauty salons, barber shops, gas stations, leave them with your tip at restaurants, inside shoe boxes at shoe stores, at coffee shops, etc.

This is a simple and fun marketing method and the cards here are priced just right!  Start using this strategy today and watch your business grow!

What Are Your Plans for 2012?

Categories:

by

This is probably going to be one of the shortest blog posts I write this year.  See, I don’t have a new year resolution. Why? I don’t need one.  People make resolutions every single year, feeling like they can truly throw out the old and bring in the new.  Some succeed, some fail and some just continue on where they left off.

Me personally? Well I just want to continue building, continue learning and continue growing. The year 2011 was an eye awakening year for me.  There are some things I regret, some things I am proud of and some things I wish I had done differently, but all in all I came out of 2011 a lot wiser and more sure about the path I am heading down.  I do feel though that this year is going to be a very interesting one and I continue to work my plan, I will see some very nice changes in my life.

I hope that whatever it is that you, the reader want to accomplish happens for you. Just make sure it’s legal and be determined to get it done! Tell me, what are your plans for this year?

How SEO Helps Get Your Website To The Top

Categories:

by

SEO is Your Best Bet for Free Traffic Generation

Driving traffic to your website is VERY important if you want to have a great web presence online.

Search engines provide businesses and individuals with that ever so needed traffic to get eyes on their websites, which helps build their following, build their brand, build their list, build their reputation generate sales.

Learning SEO and using the strategies is an excellent way to generate an unlimited amount of traffic at absolutely no cost whatsoever – zip, zilch, nada!

So, what Is Search Engine Optimization exactly?

SEO is the process of creating a Web site that fosters the design, coding, copy, and link-building elements search engines most like to see.

Through the process of SEO, you can develop a site (or alter an existing site, which I am doing) so that the search engines will move you up to the top of the search results. This way there will be more eyes on your website from the people who want what you have to offer or sell. If your website is at or towards the top, more people will find you and click on your link before they click on someone else’s website link.

And How Does SEO Work?

Here are the 3 fundamental parts of the SEO equation:

1. Coding

2. Copywriting

3. Link popularity

Coding is the manipulation of your HTML code so that it is clean, uncluttered, positioned correctly, and easily accessible to the search engine spiders and bots.

You want to be sure the most important information to the spiders is located up top where they can quickly and easily find it. You also want to ensure that java scripts and other such coding are moved out of the spiders’ way.

Copywriting relates to the text on your site. Search engine copywriting is where you write in such a way that you include your primary key phrases in strategic places, so that you get the most “points” from the engines.

Link popularity has to do with sites have links that point back to your site (and vice versa). The theory is, that if others think highly enough of your site to link to it, your site must be of good quality.

When you have a good combination of all three primary elements, you stand a much better chance of ranking high with the engines.

How about META Tags? I remember when I first came online back in 1997 and did not know anything about META or SEO strategies, but for some reason the first website I ever put online got some really good rankings using something called META (in my head, I was like whatever) I used for a website I put up on a free web hosting provider at the time, named Angelfire. I did get a lot visits to it. But that was, well 1997.

Search engines are now a whole lot smarter as regards to tags and the only thing that carries a whole heck of a lot of weight now are title tags.

SEO Copywriting isn’t putting in key phrases over and over again because that can put you at risk. At risk of spamming the search engines and your human visitors won’t like it either. Remember, you are on a mission to convert visitors into followers, readers and paying customers, period.

Learning, understanding and implementing Search Engine Optimization is worth the time and effort and will make you one happy camper.

Education is key! Here are some resources that have been recommended to me to help get my site ranked high on websites like Yahoo! and Google. It’s a work in progress, but I am learning a lot.

The Skinny Body Care Review – Is it a Scam?

Categories:

by

Is Skinny Body Care A Scam?

Skinny Body Care is making waves in the health and wellness niche in network marketing. This is a rather new company, launching in January 2011. With it being less than a year old, many are wondering if Skinny Body Care is a scam. The short answer to the question is NO. Skinny Body Care is a legitimate business. But don’t just take my word for it. Let’s examine the company.

Skinny Body Care is the brain child of Ben Glinsky. Mr. Glinsky has already made a mark in the industry with oodles of network marketing experience. His ‘resume’ boasts an awesome track record of success with other MLM companies. While Ben Glinsky has proven himself to be a strong leader, he has left a bitter taste in the mouths of some of his followers due to his success. That should not deter you from joining Skinny Body Care. Ben Glinsky is a dynamic industry leader and a visionary, and that is enough to make this company a promising and genuine business opportunity.

What about the product? Can it speak for itself? Skinny Body Care offers an outstanding weight loss product called Skinny Fiber. Made from natural ingredients, the slimming capsule is backed up by scientific research which makes it highly effective and legit. Moreover, the active ingredients have a long history of tradition and have been tested on human subjects. Not only does the product produce the results you want regardless of your body weight, it also increases the metabolism for cellulite and fat loss. Because of the positive effects of the product, more and more people are finding success in using it.

My own experience with the product has been wonderful and as of the date of this writing, I have personally lost a total of 27lbs. Yes, I am slim once again! Plus, it is helping me control my blood sugar levels and I feel great overall.

Along with an innovative weight loss product, Skinny Body Care presents a fantastic opportunity to generate residual income with its forced matrix plan. Skinny Body Care provides a lucrative compensation plan that offers 8 avenues of income. With the forced matrix distributors can earn money without recruiting new members. Of course, if you truly want to succeed in the business, relying solely on spillovers won’t work. In addition, there are fast-start bonuses with infinity matching bonuses that you can also enjoy once you sign up.

In order to grow a Skinny Body Care business, you need to be able to reach a massive amount of people. Where are the bulk of these people? On the internet! Be sure you learn how to brand yourself and consistently generate leads so that you can funnel them into your Skinny Body Care business. Instead of just relying on marketing strategies that will restrict you to a local geographic area, our team has marketing tools and a system in place for you already. This will enable you to “market to the masses.” You may also use other tools if you so desire, to help you grow your business. You must though, learn how to conquer the internet and create a global presence. Let it be known that we also have access to some fabulous industry trainers that will teach you how to get things done both offline AND online.

Please note that during your journey you will find people who’s online marketing tactics consist of cleverly trying to get you to quit or to not even take a look at this opportunity, because they selfishly want you to join THEIR business opportunity. I do not approve of that type of “reverse marketing” ploy because it is deceiving and unethical on the part of the person engaging in that type of activity. Follow the winners, not the whiners.

You Have To Work For What You Want!

Categories:

by

I will never forget the very first time I DECIDED that I wanted to succeed in Network Marketing/Direct Sales.

Here is the exact strategy I used to create some success for myself in a company I was involved in. I call it “my taste of success” and it was a great ride. Here is how I became a Diamond Leader:

1. I joined during pre-launch. Now this is NOT necessary because anybody can join a company at any time and make it to the top if they put forth the effort.

2. I contacted everybody I had info for that I wanted to work with about it.

3. I then e-mailed everybody I had an e-mail address for about it.

4. I posted about it in all of the online groups I belonged to.

5. I created a beautiful lead capture page and bought Google ad space linking it to my lead capture page.

6. I placed inexpensive ads on a few work from home sites.

7. I wrote a few free press releases with a link leading back to my lead capture page and threw up a few YouTube videos.

8. I followed up with everybody who responded…by phone, e-mail and even faxed people to help close them into the new business. I also hosted a successful launch party with my local team members when the time came and many people even called me about joining from info they found. My team grew nationwide, I conducted home parties, hosted and attended company events and I became a Diamond Leader with that company within a year of joining it.

Although things did not work out well with that company, my hard work paid off as a good learning experience. See, when you want something bad enough, you WILL work for it. It takes time and effort, but the end result is well worth the personal growth that stems from it.

Yes indeed folks, you have to do the work. Too many people in this industry sit around and do nothing or do so little that the results are miniscule compared to the results other people get by putting in the work. This is not a lottery, nor is it a job, BUT it IS work. Either you do the work or you remain part of the 97% who fail in this industry. My suggestion to you is if you are a part of that 97% group currently failing to grasp what this industry can truly do for you and your family, get off your butt right now, get busy in your business and JUST DO IT!

Need someone else to tell you besides me because you are still sitting there reading this? Watch this!
