Mine has been nice- productive and relaxing, too.

River and I went down to the end of the island yesterday to watch the sunset. It was beautiful... 

Here's a picture of us on the boat ramp. :)
 

And here's your recap from the week in case you missed anything.

This Week on the Podcast

It’s a new year… and I love this time of year because it always feels like a blank slate.
 

It’s a chance to start again, to look back over the last year and see what worked and what I wish I would have done differently, or what I regret not doing that I may want to do this year. 
 

There are a few questions that I like to ask… either at the end of the year or the beginning of the new year. I do this in my journal, but you could also do it with a partner or friend.  
 

These questions are a great way to reflect back over the last year to remember some of the great decisions that you made, to remind yourself that you are capable of making great decisions and that it’s safe to follow your heart. 
 

And, remembering the great decisions that you made can help you know what type of decisions you’d like to make more of in the coming year. 
 

It’s also powerful to think about where you want to be on this day next year, or who you want to be. And not to create a resolution but to cast a vision for your life. 
 

I hosted the Grow Rich mastermind on Wednesday morning so I’ve included the recording of part of that call in this episode. 

On that call I went into detail about each of my journal prompts (questions) in case you’d like to use them yourself…. and you will find them all in this episode!

I also spoke about how to create a ‘fun’ resolution… one to bring more joy into your life. Because, why not? We can all use a little more joy, right?
 
And I shared some words of wisdom from one of my role models, Michael Franti, about creating a personal motto or a family motto that you can use as your north star to guide you in the right direction each day. 
 

In addition to the call recording, I shared about the Burning Bowl ceremony I did on New Year’s Eve, and a couple of other reflections to help you enter into 2024 gracefully and powerfully, without overlooking where you have been and all that you have accomplished over the last year.
 

Enjoy and I hope it serves you as a reminder that this life is what you make it. This is your path, this is your journey. It’s nobody else’s. Just yours.
 

And this is your year, too. So you can make it whatever you want it to be.

This Week's Exclusive Training (New!)

I've been given the honor of serving our community in a new way for the last month or so. I was asked to share an over-the-shoulder training for our Premium members to show some of my marketing strategies. 

This is our Traffic & Conversions mastermind, which happens every day, Monday - Friday and is always so filled with gold... and our community loves being able to spend this time together each day to get all of their questions answered and to have the opportunity to get to know each other on a deeper level.

Well, I was recently asked if I would teach on Thursdays, so that's what I've been doing. :)

It's different every week... I just teach whatever I happen to be working on at the moment.

This week I went over my podcasting process, from soup to nuts.
 

I shared how I record, edit, host and promote each of my podcast episodes.

Last week, I spoke about how I use Loom to answer questions in the comment section of my YouTube channel and my Facebook group by creating a personalized video for each person. This technique works like a charm, and it's a great way to serve my audience at a deeper level.

As I said, it will be different every week, and we have different people teaching on the other days of the week as well, so it's one of the best places I've ever seen to come and get trained over-the-shoulder by people who are getting great results with their marketing... and these marketing strategies apply to any business at all!

I can't share the training with you, as it's exclusive in the back office for our Premium members.

But... here's the good news! 

If you want to watch the replay and any of the other replays (we have ALL of the replays available in a playlist)... you can get instant access to it inside of our Premium membership. 

When you join our All-In-One Business here for only $25, you will get two full FREE weeks of Premium, so not only can you watch the replays from our masterminds and go through all of the marketing strategy training in the back office, but you will also get to attend all of our live masterminds for 2 full weeks, for free! 

We have 7 Zoom masterminds every week, so this is a great way to come and get the training and comradery that you need to get your business going!

It's seriously a win-win, and you can get access here (just be sure and click the box at checkout to access your 2 free weeks of Premium). 

And then I will see you on Zoom this week!

Limited Time Exclusive Training

 

I recently did a live a training to show my process for sponsoring over 70 people in under 4 months into my main affiliate program during the last few months while I've been grieving, healing, and taking time off. I also did not use any paid marketing strategies, and I do not prospect or talk on the phone.
 

I was told that this training could be sold for thousands of dollars and that it's actually worth more than some courses some of my audience members have paid thousands of dollars for.

 

Here's what a few people have said about it:

 

 

I'm not sure what I will end up doing with this training, I might repurpose it into a course or donate i to our exclusive members area. 

But, for now, I've made the replay available for you since you are a loyal subscriber of mine and I appreciate you so much. 

 

If you are interested in learning my process, here's what I will show you:

•  My exact marketing process that creates loads of freedom in my life (and does not require talking on the phone or prospecting)
•  My main affiliate program and why I put most of my energy into promoting it (how the comp plan works, etc)
•  My onboarding process for new members (without this, I could not have sponsored 70 people in 4 months)
•  How sponsoring this many members equates in income

I would just suggest watching it sooner rather than later because I'm not sure how long I will leave it up.

 

And a couple of things to be aware of:

1) This is 2.5 hours of solid training so you may want to carve out a few separate sittings to watch it all. 

 

2) The things I teach are my process... this does not mean this is everybody's process. There are tons of other ways to market online. 

 

3) My process involves building yourself and your brand up consistently over time online so that eventually your business will start to generate leads and sales on autopilot for you like mine does. This is not a get rich quick process... it takes time, consistency, and will require you to become a person of value online.

 

If that all sounds good to you, you can watch the replay here.

 

Enjoy and let me know what you think!

 

A Sneak Peek Into Our Community & Back Office

Yesterday, we pulled back the curtain on one of our Saturday new member orientation sessions... so that people who are not members inside of the Home Business Academy yet could come hang out with us and see what we're all about.

• our tools and training
• affiliate marketing (we pay 80% commissions for referrals on our products)
• how we've been able to provide 216,569 meals so far to starving children 
• our community
• anything else...

You can watch the replay from the orientation here.
 

Meet Our Community

I am so proud of my online community- we are entrepreneurs from all types of niches and spaces, and from all walks of life.

But we have one thing in common... we are all heart-centered people who believe in building businesses in a principle centered way.

I wanted to invite you to come meet us... to get a taste of what a powerful core community feels like- in case you are wanting something like this for yourself. 

Here is some new footage to give you a taste of what our community is like.

You may notice a common word that everyone says... family.

Our community has been described as:
 

"It's like a real family." - Gaetan Henaux

"Warming. Full of love" - Gregory Pierre-Louis

"Very different. We do everything together," - Gio Ambrose Gionta
 

And more- as you will see in the video.

It really is like a family here. Go see for yourself.
