Things Sometimes Change

Once I found out that my passion was inspiring and empowering people I set out to develop a company that does that. MBI is that company. When I set up the Ms. Boss Network I wanted to develop a family of entrepreneurs that could come together to support each other. That has been slow in catching on on the network, but a funny thing happened. I was introduced to 5Linx now I have a great entrepreneurial team that is growing so fast. I am so in my element of sharing what I've learned with them and what's even more exciting is that they want learn what I know. When I was introduced to 5Linx Lord knows I wasn't looking for anything else to put on my plate, but I guess he had a different plan for me. Now the network that I started to develop back in 2009 is taking effect, just not in the way that I expected, so it's kind of funny how things happen.

Have a productive week and remember that you may have a plan for your life, but God may have a different plan.

Until Next Time

Make It A Great Day!

5Linx Can Change Your Life

The economy is still trying to recover.  People everywhere are still loosing their jobs and trying to find a new job is still very difficult.  Could Network Marketing be the answer?  Well lets just take a look.  We know that it is the small businesses that fuel our economy.  There are people out there looking for an answer and Network Marketing just might be the answer not only for the displaced workers and people looking for a powerful change, but for the economy as a whole.  Let me tell you why I feel that way. 

I spent a week in Fort Laurderdale at a 5linx convention which I am a partner in.  There were over 5,000 people who attended the convention who decided that this company could help change their lives to one with more time and financial freedom.  For me the event was so emotional because there were people there from all walks of life who were changing the way they lived because of 5Linx which is a network marketing company.  I am little biased here because I belong to 5Linx and I love the company, but there are so many other network marketing companies out there that offer the same kind of opportunity.  Some of the more well known ones are Mary Kay and Avon.  You just have to find one that you love and make the commitment to making it work. 

Now I know that there a people who frown on this industry, but this is the only industry that I know that will allow you start your own business for a really small investment.  You get a team,  business plan and a proven system to help you grow your business.  It's like owning a franchise without the franchise fees or restrictions. 

To show you that there is validity to what I am saying lets look at some very successful and famous people who understand the power of this industry and believes in it.

• Warren Buffet
• Donald Trump
• Robert Kioysaki
• David Bach
• Les Brown

Just to name a few.  So how does this help the economy?  Well if people are making money in their business then they are able to spend more, which will boost the economy.  I saw 5Linx co-founders give away over a half-million dollars in bonuses at the convention, so there is good money to be made.

A bit of advice.  Before you join any company do your homework.  Don't just join a company because of the money, make sure you love the product or services that are offered.  Trust me love of what you do will get you through the tough times and yes as an entrepreneur if you stick it out long enough you will have tough times.

Hope you found this article helpful.  To learn more about how to become my business partner in 5linx email me at Audrey@msboss.net

Setting Yourself Up For Success

As entrepreneurs we all have some setbacks. The thing here to remember is that you can always overcome set backs and get back on the road to success. I just finished broadcasting The Ms. Boss Show and I gave 7 steps on how to set yourself up for success. So just to recap those 7 steps.

1. Have a clear vision for what you want and what you want to stand for.
2. Have a solid revenue generating action plan. Notice I said revenue generating action plan. I've had action plans before, but I they were not generating the revenue that I felt should be coming in. So that is why it is important to have a revenue generating action plan.
3. Know your business and know your industry. In order you be successful in your business you have to know who the players are. Knowing your business will allow you to handle any questions that maybe asked. The worst thing in the world is to be asked about something and you can answer. So make sure that you know your business and your industry.
4. Know your audience. In order to know who to sell to, you have to know who they are and where they are.
5. Find you a coach or a mentor. Having someone to be accountable to is extremely helpful. It keeps you on track when you know that you have to go back and report to someone. You want to look like you have been doing what you were supposed to be doing, so this is where a mentor or coach becomes a great partner to have.
6. Surround yourself with positive people. These might be people at a local networking event. People at your local chamber or very specific industry groups. You want to be around people who are going places. The energy in the room is usually amazing.
7. Learn how to self motivate. Whenever I am feeling down I will find me a motivating story to watch on TV or on the Internet. If I am in my car and feeling a little down in the dump I have plenty of motivational CDs to listen to. This way I am almost always in a positive state of mind.

I hope that this helps.

Until Next Time

Make It A Great Day!
