How to get your first 7 in Monitium

Monitium membership costs $118 to get started and $68/month.  However, if you get 7 personal sponsorships then your membership is free – making your first seven a good first goal…

First you need to know what to do with them when you get them or it will make your job more difficult down the line.  A common strategy is to place 2 of these on your flowdown leg and the others on your build leg.  What’s a flowdown leg you ask??

In a typical binary mlm structure, you will receive ‘flowdown’ from your upline since most will insert new recruits to their extreme bottom left or right, leaving your heavy lifting for your interior leg. So flowdown is an inevitable part of having the person above you working and bringing in people (which is why it’s important you put yourself under someone whose going to be active or you won’t receive this important benefit).  For example, take a look at this picture:

This does not mean to suggest you will not need to do anything on your flowdown leg.  There are usually requirements that both legs be comparable so you don’t rely soley on your upline doing all the work.  You will generally need to place a least a few on your flowdown leg even if it’s going gangbusters so be sure to check with your particular mlm.  This is certainly the case for monitium – and you can see exactly what the requirements are by going into the genealogy section and clicking on ‘rank requirements’ from the ‘team activity overview’ tab.

For all of you thinking – “see, this is why I hate mlms”, don’t worry, this is as complicated as it gets… and trust me when I say…. my physics degree which was far more complicated will not come ANYWHERE near the ballpark of paying me like participating in monitium will!!

Okay, time for dinner… will post more on getting your first seven tomorrow… =)

Monitium – A new paradigm in network marketing??

Don’t most people hate network marketing, mlm and direct sales companies?  Maybe hate is a strong word… and maybe it’s not the companies or the products people don’t like… there’s actually some really great products out there that happen to be mlm, yes?

But how many of those products are you afraid to touch because of the expected sales pitch about how that ‘juice’, ‘gel’ or ‘vitamin’ is going to change not only your health but your financial life as well!!  You only need to get two people, who get two people, who get two people, who… AHHHH!!!  So you respectfully opt out of the conversation because you already know where it’s going… We’ve all been there, and some of us far more than once… =)

But if it’s so distasteful and nearly nobody loves to sell ‘stuff’, especially not to their family and friends – why on earth do SOOO many people partake and ‘buy into’ the dream?  The easy answer is because for some, the dream is a reality and it keeps the rest willing to give it a shot…  Unfortunately, like anything else in life, the 80/20 rule applies.  In network marketing, maybe it’s the 90/10 rule…  10% of the people actually make a living while 90% buy the products that pay the 10%…

So, is it possible that something could come along and make the promises of network marketing (more time, freedom of schedule, great income, you call the shots, “work from home”, etc) and be more likely to deliver than all the rest??

Finally, after years of seeing many people (including myself) throw good money after bad, chasing the dream – we finally have a company that I believe, along with many others, will fulfill on its promises for the 90% instead of just the 10%…

Monitium represents an entirely new paradigm that will undoubtedly cause major skepticism and resistance from many, as with anything entirely new…

I equate it with having had the opportunity to buy founding IBM stock, back when people were saying “what are folks gonna need one of these computer-thingies in their house for?”  It’s so new and so revolutionary by mlm, direct sales and network marketing standards, that most will not be able to see the vision until they get hammered over the head with it…

So who are you?  A visionary willing to take a nominal risk for potentially outrageous payouts or the naysayer who will be cursing the day they consciously made the choice to opt-out?

It’s currently a closed enrollment, but if you REALLY want more info… stay tuned or contact me at info@eventhorizonenergetics.com and I’ll answer any questions you have or get the answers for anything I don’t yet know…

This promises to be the closest thing to “free money” there has ever been.  And don’t we all need a little more of that these days???

And definitely, you want to be on the Event Horizon Energetics Team!  We are business owners and entrepreneurs who know a good thing when we see it and are going to be putting a LOT of time and energy into this business.  Why not be the willing recipient of an active upline??

How the Web is Changing and How to Respond

We could write for days on how rapidly the web is changing.  We don’t really notice since for most of it we are somewhat passive observers – however, be assured that the web changes as rapidly as new technology emerges. 

As a powerful business marketing tool, it is important to keep up with those changes and adapt your online strategy.  How is the web currently changing and how can you respond to those changes?  Here are a couple key trends on the web and what you can do to better position your business in light of those changes, just FYI.

Mobile Devices

The biggest change on the web today is being brought about by the growing popularity of smartphones.  Devices like Android based phones and the iPhone mean that more people may be accessing your web site from a device other than a personal computer.  Mobile devices have different needs and requirements than most personal computers.  Take for example that most designers assume that a visitor will have a screen resolution that is at least 800 pixels wide.  Mobile devices typically have screens that are only 400 or so pixels wide.  This is a big difference.

Whether you design and manage your web site yourself or work with a designer, the first step to responding is to find out where the potential problems might be.  The World Wide Web Consortium has a page that can test your web site’s mobile compatibility based on a number of factors.  You can use this report to decide how to respond to the growth of mobile devices on the web.  You will likely need to make your web site more responsive to mobile devices by allowing your layout to flex based on the device’s capabilities.  A List Apart has a great but very technical article on how this works that you can read or send to your web master to review.

HTML 5 & CSS 3.0

Another big change on the world web web is the gradual emergence of HTML 5.0 and CSS 3.0.  The two together promise to provide a standards based method of providing a lot of the special effects that previously could only be done in Flash.  This is good news for many developers that have grown tired of tweaking various work arounds as new browsers came out.  The current problem with HTML 5.0 and CSS 3.0 is that current browser support is very, very mixed. 

Responding to the emerging HTML 5.0 and CSS 3.0 isn’t too difficult.  You will want to position your site so that you’re ready for HTML 5.0 when it is widely supported.  For now, the best plan is to slowly implement HTML 5.0 where it makes sense to do so.  Video is one area in particular that can benefit from new capabilities available in HTML 5.0.  Many sites are starting to implement HTML 5.0 based video for browsers that support it while providing Flash or Javascript alternatives for browser that do not.  This is the recommended strategy for slowly moving to HTML 5.0.

The world wide web is definitely changing.  Visitors are now accessing the web from a wider variety of devices than ever before.  This means that businesses need to adjust their web sites to provide a quality user experience for mobile users.  New emerging standards are also changing how things are being built on the web.  Savvy web businesspeople are preparing for the new standard by slowly implementing it where they can most benefit from its new abilities. 

What does this mean for you as an end user (ie: not the web developer?)?  It means find someone to create, maintain and promote your website who knows what such things are for starters… Then realize Rome wasn’t built in a day – neither will your technologically current website be… But strive to keep up whenever possible. =)

Video Games: Emerging Alternative Health Technology?

Lately video games have been in the news a lot, particularly in regards to health.  Most o f this news has not been positive.  Video games have been linked to a growing obesity problem and to the development of aggressive behavior and attention deficit disorder in children.  However, video games are not all bad.  In fact, in some ways video games are an emerging new alternative health technology. 

Jayne Gackenbach is a psychologist and researcher at Grant MacEwan University.  She has been studying dreams and video games since the 1990s.  Her research has shown that lucid dreamers, people who are more aware of their dreams and can exert control over their dreams, and video game players have many things in common such as better spatial skills, less motion sickness and increased focus. 

These observations led Gackenbach to study video games and lucid dreaming.  She has discovered that playing video games before beds increases the incidence of lucid dreaming.  She believes that dreams are a type of biological virtual world created by our sleeping minds.  In contrast, video games are a virtual world created using machines and technology.  Gackenbach believes that practice in one type of virtual world builds mental abilities that can be utilized in the other type of virtual world.  It is possible that video games are training the mind for the dream world.

The Institute of Noetic Sciences is also using online and video games in some very new ways.  Their game,”The Halls of Healing” is being used to study distant healing.  In this video game, the player concentrates on trying to heal a virtual person, diagnose an illness, test the player’s ability to predict an event.  Their other game, “The Garden of Dreams” is intended to test and develop psi abilities like the ability to predict events and affect outcomes.  These games are part of the institute’s research into quantum reality. 

“The Wild Divine” is a video game for the computer that uses biofeedback hardware and game imagery to help player develop an awareness of their state of being.  The player is guided through various worlds by controlling their emotions, breathing and heart rate.  The game teaches the basic use of biofeedback in an entertaining way.  The end result is a greater awareness of the body/mind connection and enhanced abilities to utilize that connection.  I own this game myself and find that learning to manipulate the game with your mind and breath alone is a pretty intriguing challenge and certainly one that trains your ability to master the body’s responses.

While the ideas and video games presented are pretty basic, they are the first steps towards games that actually train users to utilize the untapped power of their mind to promote health and well being.  The future may hold video games that teach users to perform distance healing or to heal themselves.  It is clear from Jayne Gackenbach’s research that even games not specifically designed to expand our consciousness seem to do so anyway.  Are video games an emerging new alternative health technology?  Research seems to suggest they are.

Special Note for Practitioners:  Games such as The Wild Devine are excellent back-end products to offer your clients to enhance their stress reduction education in between sessions.  While many clients would like an iNDIGO or SCIO at home, the $24,000 pricetag is cost prohibit for many and while they are in no way similar, that Wild Divine is about 2% of the cost of the iNDIGO or SCIO making it a very affordable adjunct for most clients until such time as they want to ‘upgrade’…

Vitamin D the cause of Autism??

Please watch this very informative video that could make a big difference to your health:

I plan to attend this year’s Longevity Conference, will you?

This is how you become an expert in the field of alternative health care.  Always be on the lookout for great new information from respectable and VARIED sources – don’t make the mistake of staying ‘locked’ into the industry specific experts… There’s a big wide world of effective ‘treatments’ and modalities and the more tools you have in your toolbox the better practitioner you will be for your clients.

Never stop learning!! =D

How easy is this?

Hey…

Did you know posting to your blog could be as easy as sending an email?? Neither did I until today!

A little trick I just picked up from my web guru, Your Virtual Worker. Check back in a few to find out exactly how to do it!

Update your thinking…

Dear Maraia,

Has 2010 been a bit scary so far?

Just about everyday I am receiving emails from students who are being financially challenged.  Students whose businesses (or jobs) are being affected by the current economy and to be honest, who isn’t being affected?  Even my own business that has enjoyed a nice ride so far, is having to be entirely redesigned at the moment as well to respond to the new challenges.  Even the biggest, most successful businesses out there are having to redesign their entire business model in order to exist in this new economy or perish.  (Banks, car manufacturers, investment companies, etc.)

Have you ever heard about the frog and the boiling water?  True story.

If you drop a frog into boiling water (please don’t), it will immediately jump out to save itself.  If however, you put a frog in cold water and slowly raise the temperature until boiling it will sit there and cook itself.

One of the biggest reasons why businesses ultimately fail is that little things keep adding up to tell them that what they’re doing isn’t working any longer, but they hold onto the “good old days” thinking that it worked once, it’ll work again, “we just have to hang in there…” and perhaps if the world wasn’t changing in radical ways each and every day… that might be true.  But the business world is not the same today as it was a decade ago, or even a year ago and it certainly won’t be the same 5 years from now.

The trick to staying alive in business today is to NOT be that frog cooking yourself in slowly rising temperatures…

Watch this video:

Feel the heat and TAKE ACTION! Save yourself, save your business and react now, before it’s too late and you find yourself in a hole you can’t easily recover from.  (Notice, I say easily recover from… ALL situations can be recovered from eventually… it just how much unnecessary heartache it causes in between.)

But what action do you take? Well, of course you can come to our Business Builder Bootcamp for $3750, =)… or how about attending a nearly-FREE event?

I give out Secrets of the Millionaire Mind books at every event I hold I feel so strongly about the message it contains.  All of Harv Eker’s teaching are about how to change and adapt your mindset (your brain hardwiring) and I’m getting ready to attend a few more of his courses this year because we ALL need to continue to grow and adapt in this market.  And my own re-attendance has prompted me to remind my student base that you, too… would benefit tremendously be attending one of his courses…

Here is a little intro to the 3-day Millionaire Mind Intensive, which in the last 3 years has totally – completely transformed my life, been the foundation and success of my business and allowed my husband and I to take his $350,000 per year business and turn it into a $675,000 per year business in record time! That was then….  Now – we’re going back to learn from the masters AGAIN.  Why?! Because even the most successful businesses (if they’re smart) are going to do what it takes to successfully adjust to this wacky economy so they will SURVIVE IT… and potentially set themselves up for even greater success once the economy rights itself – which it eventually will…

(Did you know more millionaires are made during economically poor times than good?)

You REALLY want to learn from this guy… and sooner than later.

New Jersey (TBD)

This is a $1250 course that they are practically giving away.  At $97, this nearly-FREE, 3-Day, action-packed, change your brain, change your perspective, change your life seminar CAN NOT BE MISSED.  I AM speaking from experience…  I have attended seminars now for nearly 13 years ranging from personal development to business and marketing to science and technology, etc. and these guys are the best in the business – bar none.  You will not find a better mix of real world effectiveness (instructions you can take to the bank) and spiritual insights/guidance anywhere.

You WILL walk away with an entirely new relationship with Money and Wealth and you’ll feel good doing it!  I believe at LEAST this introductory course should be absolutely mandatory for every business owner, want to be entrepreneur, independant thinker, want to change the world! kind of person…  and certainly if you’ve been to one of my courses and not yet attended…  tisk, tisk… ; )

What are you waiting for??

CLICK HERE to enroll NOW. It?s $97 for three days (which is ridiculous). But, if you put in the promo code HARDWIRED, you get $10 off which is absurd for the value you will receive… .  If you have a spouse or significant other, I highly recommend you attend together so you land on the same page.  I can’t even express the difference Harv’s courses have made in my marriage – but suffice to say – it’s a real possibility there wouldn’t have been a marriage today without them… This stuff is THAT good…

It will be worth every penny and every minute of your time.  Times 10. At least.

You have a Millionaire Mind!!

Much love and Outstanding Success in 2010 and beyond!

How to Start Creating Systems in Your Business

One of the things you learned in the Business Builder Kit or Bootcamp was the importance of systematizing your business. If your business is made up of systems, other people can help you run it or even run it for you so that you can take vacations or pursue other projects.  A fantastic book to read that really puts this in perspective is The E-Myth, find it here in our Bookstore.

Many fast-food chains, for example, have the identical set-up and exact same procedures at every restaurant. Once workers learn the system at one location, they can move to any other location and jump right in.

While you’re not in the business of cooking and serving fast food, the same principle applies. What is your system for your client’s first visit? for following up with someone who says they’re interested in your services? for selling a second set of treatments once the first set has been completed?

If you were to train someone to fill in for you, how would you go about teaching them how you do things?

It may seem a daunting task to develop systems to streamline your business, but there is an easy way to get started.

Marla Cilley, also known as “The FlyLady,” once lived in chaos. Her home and her schedule were a mess, and she was determined to change that. By developing one habit at a time and combining habits into routines, she was able to create a system for her home and her life that allowed her to live in a clean house, prepare for both expected and unexpected events, and start achieving her goals. Her website, www.flylady.net, is a free resource that provides all the information needed to start creating systems, whether the goal is a clean house, an organized lifestyle, or a streamlined business. (The site may seem overwhelming at first, so give yourself some time to click around and become familiar with it.)

At the heart of FlyLady’s process is a written set of routines called a “Control Journal,” which participants create based on their needs. A sample “Office Control Journal” is located at http://www.flylady.net/pages/control_journals.asp. Simply click on “Office Control Journal” to open the document in Adobe. You can save a copy or print it out for your own use.

As you start building habits, creating routines, and writing them down, your Control Journal will evolve. The day will come when all your procedures will be clearly written, enabling someone else to run your business the way you would do it, with nothing forgotten and all information readily available.

Rest assured that you will not become a “control freak” and that you do not have to subject yourself to “boring routine.” You need only create the amount of structure you want. Some business owners like a clear schedule and a full set of procedures, and others just want enough structure to make sure that nothing falls apart while they’re enjoying their spontaneity. Either way, FlyLady can help.
