HUGE Way For Others To Get The Most Impact From Your Videos

Whatever “business” you’re into – Network marketing, Coaching, or anything else, really – where you do your videos is CRITICAL to how the message your sending comes across.

Have you ever watched a video of a “guru” or someone who is trying to convince you of their pitch or vision, only to lose you because of the quality? It could be as simple as lighting, but is most often LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!

HERE’S YOUR HUGE SUCCESS TIP: If you are giving details about something, like a business comp plan (or if you’re a Life Coach, you’re giving details about how to make a specific change), etc, make your videos indoors. The personal feel of one on one is an amazing way to get people to lean into your words and vision.

This video by Katie Freiling will show you what I mean:

On the other hand, if you are talking about “growing” or “expanding”, or using words to paint the picture of enormity, make your videos outside. Jonathan Budd is amazing with this format, and it doesn’t even matter what he says! You could mute the video and still get the feel of enormous expansion, amazing possibilities and incredible visions! And in an interesting twist, this man can still get close enough to your heart to speak that one on one language with you. THIS is an example of someone who can really call you to action! Check out what I mean in the video below:

It’s just one example of the power of knowing your audience, knowing your product/service, and understanding language, and using specific LOCATION for your videos.

I understand that not everyone has access to top of the line equipment, and I’m here to tell you that you don’t need it! You can create and share incredibly powerful messages by being aware, and making changes when necessary. Do some planning ahead – even a little bit goes a long way!

Have fun planning your next series of life changing videos! I’m off to take my own advice!

Blessings!

The Meeting AFTER The Meeting

Have you ever gone to a Business Opportunity Meeting, or even a live event like a seminar? I have been to many over the course of my Network Marketing journey, and will continue to do so!

Have you gone to one of those meetings or events and most (if not all) of the information is basically the same? Did you think it was a waste of time? If so, then you have completely missed the purpose of attending these!

Let me give you a couple of tips about attending BOM’s or events:

1. Arrive early

2. “Show up”

3. Stay Late

Now, let me explain each one in more detail, so you can understand the significance.

1. Arrive Early – When you attend a meeting or event, it’s always a good idea to arrive early for a few different reasons. First of all, it makes it way easier to meet the organizer as well as any key speakers. You want to do this, and need to do this, so that they are familiar with you. It gives you a chance to get some one on one time with them, and might even be able to help them out in the future! (*Just as a side note, I arrived WAY early AND took the initiative to speak directly with a few of the people that were speaking that weekend. Not only did we have a nice conversation before the event even started, I was invited to tag along while they went to lunch!) Second, better seat selection. You want to sit up front and center as much as possible. Not only does it help you stay attentive, your “placement” will allow the speaker to actually see MORE of you. Third, it allows you to greet others as they are coming in, thereby showing YOU as a leader! Many of them might even ask who you are and if you are affiliated with the speakers….

2. “Show Up” – Really BE there with everyone and everything that you are learning. Even if you’ve heard it 100 times before, there may be something new you learn; a different perspective. Show the speaker courtesy and respect. When you are a leader, and give your full attention to the person speaking, others will see that and do the same. Then, when it’s your time to be the speaker, you will get that same respect in return.

3. Stay Late – This might be one of the most important things you ever do (especially if you were not able to show up early!). Depending on what time the session let out, it may be time to eat . =)  If you are feeling particularly ambitious, you can invite THEM to eat with YOU! Even if they say no, it was still a nice gesture, and they may extend a personal invite to you. Hang around afterwards for as long as possible, without appearing like a stalker. It’s one thing to linger and loiter, it’s quite another to engage in useful conversation (or to help clean up). During the speech(es), you may have written some questions down. This would be a great time to ask if you can have just a quick second of their time to explain something further. Please be sure to keep it quick. Most speakers are usually very busy, but want to help you as much as possible. Thank them for their time, either way. By showing a genuine interest in the topic, they may even spill the beans on something outside of what was talked about earlier.

Did you catch that last sentence? You have just been to a meeting for the umpteenth time, only to stay a few minutes afterwards, engage in light conversation, and walk away with something that could potentially change your life!

This phenomenon in referred to as,

The Meeting AFTER The Meeting

A perfect example of this was the No Excuses Summit in Vegas earlier this year. I saw it, and participated in it! Never underestimate the power of putting yourself out there. Just those 3 simple things can make all the difference in your financial and personal future!

Jonathan Budd’s Brilliant Words of Wisdom (Game Changer Alert!)

“There is no such thing as “Information Overload” if you’re actually taking ACTION on any of the knowledge you have.” ~ Jonathan Budd

This may very well be a GAME CHANGER for you!

While at the No Excuses Summit here in Las Vegas, the brain tends to get overwhelmed with the massive amount of information, by many different sources. Personally, with all I have been studying lately, I have felt this way for quite some time! I always figured, study before you do, so you at least know a little about what your’re doing and what you should NOT do.

The day has been long – starting at 9am and ending around 6:15pm. Networking around the clock is hard work!  :)

So, if you’ve ever been involved in any sort of MLM or Network Marketing gig, you may have gone to a few meetings of your own – though nowhere NEAR this caliber! One thing I was told is that the “real” meeting starts after the meeting. Which basically means you sometimes learn more after class.

No statement has been truer than it was tonight!! After a day of speakers, we are invited to break into groups, and have one on one sessions with the speakers of the day. It’s lasted about an hour (maybe two, depending on the speaker!), and they’re all in different rooms. With a line up like this, it’s a difficult decision! I chose Todd Falcone tonight, but peeked in on Jonathan Budd’s room right after. His session was finished as well, but there are always people lingering, trying to get in just one more question, or one more video, or one more picture with a RockStar!

While I was standing there talking with a fellow Facebook friend (whom I just met in person for the first time), I overheard Jonathan answering a question about “Information Overload”. It piqued my interest, obviously, since this issue was recently discussed in one of my last blogs! For weeks and months now, I have been cramming as much information into my head as possible, with webinars, phone calls, videos, books, blogs, etc. Finally, I blew a gasket about a week ago, and my brain just popped then stopped.

Jonathan’s answer was so simple, it hurts to repeat it. But I will, because I want you to succeed, and in record time!

“Information In, Action Out”

Jonathan said the only reason we get information overload is because we’re not doing anything with what we have just learned. We just keep putting stuff in our head, pilling it on top of each other, but not putting anything into action. If we learn something, AND put it into action, it would make more room to learn other things! Isn’t that brilliant?!? I’ll say it again:

“Information In, Action Out”

So, first thing tomorrow morning, repeat that statement to yourself (I’ll do it as well!). Then do it again Monday morning, then Tuesday morning, and so on. You can even do it throughout the day. Every time you learn something new, make a decision to do something with it – action or not. Kind of like cleaning out your house or office….You take what you’ve just learned and put it into one of 3 categories: USE, GIVE AWAY, or TRASH. If you decide to use it, do it as soon as possible (you can even teach it and make money later). If you decide to give it away, make it a gift to someone else (as a bonus). Last option is to throw it away. Forget about it! It’s just going to take up space in your head and drive you crazy after awhile.
