Be Proactive

The Proactive Approach

Be proactive, plan, learn and grow.

“The proactive approach to a mistake is to acknowledge it instantly, correct and learn from it.”
~Stephen Covey

Plan and Be Ready

Planning takes time and effort. But, if we want to learn, grow and improve, we must plan for the future.

Obviously there are many types of planning, but in it’s simplest form, we must plan on being ready when things happen.

Form the Habit of Being Proactive

When we form the habit of being proactive, and learning from our mistakes, we can create positive change in our lives.

Stephen Covey wrote extensively about habits in his best selling book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

Learn from Mistakes

We all make mistakes, what’s important is that we learn from them. Being proactive means we anticipate and plan our response.

Planning in advance gives you confidence. Not that you anticipate problems, but you’re prepared when they arise.

The old cliche about Murphy’s Law, “If it can go wrong, it will.” has validity, so it’s best to prepare.

Mistakes are natural and a great way to learn. Keep learning!

Stay Motivated!

We Are In Charge of Our Attitudes

Our Attitudes

Chuck Swindoll once said, “We are in charge of our attitudes.”

Attitude affects everything in life. No matter how bad a situation may be, we ultimately control our outlook.

We can choose to be miserable, or we can choose to be happy and make a change.

Full Text and Quote by Chuck Swindoll

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.

Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important that the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, that, successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company… a church… a home.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past… we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude… I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.

And so it is with you… we are in charge of our attitudes.

If we think of goodness as traits such as honesty, kindness, generosity, or fellowship, this quote begins to make more sense. Positive only creates more positive. That is why we must always try to be a light unto others.

Sales Funnels
How To Build Better Websites and Funnels

Just a decade ago online sales funnels were basically unheard of, but in this day and age, any business that wants to thrive must go online.

With so many things going on around the world, and global changes that will forever impact the way people live and do business, going online is no longer just an option.

Not only to maintain their success, but even just to survive.

Promoting Your Business Offline

Everyone knows that signs are the best way to build your business offline. You need signage to attract customers.

If you’re looking to grow your brick and mortar business, there are many ways signs, banners, canopies, flags and more.

Save on your next sign or banner order here.

Online Sales Funnel Review

Sure, there are tools that are already available that any business can use to run their entire company and processes digitally.

However, any minimum amount of research will tell you that most of these products are expensive, complicated and limited in customization.

In other words, not very user-friendly, and definitely not suitable for all business owners, especially those who are less tech-savvy and might even be on a budget.

I mean, who can afford to invest thousands of dollars a month into a bunch of complicated tools, and on top of that, hire employees to manage the systems, right?

Well, if this sounds familiar in any way, I have some good news for you.

As an online marketer and blogger myself, I am always looking for new solutions for these everyday challenges we face as business owners.

Today, I am very excited to introduce you to my latest discovery.

The Best Website Funnel Builder

GrooveFunnels is, by far, the best way I have found to be able to build websites, sales funnels and sell digital products online.

The best part? It’s FREE.

But the free value does not end there…

You see, GrooveFunnels is not just a website and sales funnel builder.

The co-founder of GrooveFunnels, Mike Filsaime, is actually a veteran in the Internet marketing space, and has put all his experience and expertise into one of the best suite of marketing tools I have ever seen.

I’ve also signed myself up for an account (it’s free), and for the past few days, I’ve had the chance to play around with it.

And you know what?

I can definitely tell you that this 100% free tool is perfectly capable of running your entire business, maybe even better than some of the expensive complicated tools out there.

I’m not exaggerating by any means…

Entrepreneurs Dream

From what I’ve seen so far, GrooveFunnels includes everything that I need to run my online business, all for absolutely free.

Here’s just a quick list of what I’ve gathered so far:
- FREE sales page and funnel building platform
- Possible to build my own branded websites with full navigation
- Can integrate with my own custom domain name
- Able to sell my products with what they call a 1-click upsell
- Capability to integrate upsells, downsells, and order bumps
- Create my own powerful affiliate program for my products!
And that’s just for starters, because there is so much more for me to explore!

I’m not even joking when I say that I am planning to change my ENTIRE online business over to GrooveFunnels!

I mean, why wouldn’t I?

It’s FREE, and it’s probably the BEST suite of marketing tools I have ever seen in my life.

By the way, there’s more…

I didn’t even mention some of my favorite benefits of GrooveFunnels.

As a member, I’ve also received a TON of community benefits.

I’ve been able to join their private Facebook group, connect with marketing experts inside, get help with all my problems, access private training within their own academy, ask questions through their helpdesk, and meet other like-minded entrepreneurs just like me to make the best use of these tools.

So, if you’re like me… Striving to grow your business, looking to learn more about marketing and getting to know some of the best in the industry at a more personal level, then you won’t want to miss out on this opportunity.

Always a Catch…

Sounds great, right?

But you might be asking… what’s the catch?

The catch is that GrooveFunnels is free, but for a limited time only.

GrooveFunnels is in its pre-launch phase, which means that many of the products have still yet to fully launch.

When they do, and as the products continue to get upgraded, GrooveFunnels may no longer be free anymore.

This means that now is the time to sign up for your free account, which would also qualify you for the additional software upgrades that they make as time goes on.

Awesome deal, right?

It’s called being at the right place, at the right time.

And that’s where we’re at right now 🙂

Don’t wait any longer, because I’m honestly not sure when this free offer is going to go away.

Do yourself a favor and sign up for your free GrooveFunnels account right now, and I will see you inside of the Facebook group.

How To Achieve Success with a Positive Mental Attitude

With a Positive Mental Attitude (PMA), dreams are realized, motivation is improved and greater confidence is created.

PMA101 is the class you could never take in school.

You can learn how to program your mind with pma to achieve success. A positive mindset will motivate you to achieve your goals. Your attitude is your determining factor of success.

Your vision of your world is created by your attitude. In other words your outlook on life is determined by how you approach things mentally. By programming your mind to think positive thoughts you can change the picture in your mind and increase your control over the outcome of your actions.

How To Stay Motivated

How can you program your mind to think positive thoughts and stay motivated? Over the years I have personally experimented with a multitude of ways to control my attitude, and some work better than others.

You’ve no doubt experienced the uplifting feeling of being in a room full of people who are all chanting, yelling or singing; perhaps at church or a pep rally. On the other hand you’ve probably been surrounded by negative people, complaining or arguing, leaving you feeling mentally drained.

Unfortunately, our minds are bombarded constantly with negative information. The television is just one example of this, but probably the best. Today’s programming is filled with news stations that run 24/7 broadcasts of the latest travesties. And, we eat it up even though we know that we shouldn’t. It’s like a drug that we can’t get enough of. And, of course nowadays we have our mobile devices and social media that follows us wherever we go.

Maintaining a Positive Mental Attitude

Our decision to fill our minds and thoughts with positive, truthful information is a hard one. Partly because of peer pressure and partly because of the curiosity we have.

Curiosity can work for us in different ways, but often it encourages us to drag ourselves down. The rush of adrenaline you feel when you suddenly find yourself in a pressure situation is similar to the rush of endorphins that flood the mind when you think positive thoughts.

Advertising and Seduction

How many times have you been seduced today? It would be hard to know the answer because it is the job of advertisers to arouse you without your knowing. Today, and every day, that you turned on the TV and watched a commercial, picked up a magazine and saw a print ad or simply logged on to your favorite social media or opened your email inbox, you have been assaulted by mind altering advertisements that your mind may not detect.

As adults we can train ourselves to avoid these ads and to simply turn the channel, but they are becoming much more sophisticated. Advertisers purchase your demographics from sources that you thought were protected to send you targeted messages. Spammers use complex algorithms to fill your email box with sexy solicitations and trash. Avoiding this negativity is becoming much harder.

We will delve deeper into ways to avoid the rubbish later, but for now let’s focus on the positive. Obviously not all advertising is bad, sometimes it’s just hard to interpret. For instance, you’ve probably been touched by ads from charitable organizations that urge you to donate, or insurance companies that encourage you to protect your family. Perhaps these types of ads will leave you with a feeling of hope or accomplishment, because they have touched you in a way that inspires you to do what you feel is good.

Good and Bad

Throughout every day we have to decipher the good from the bad. In order to focus on the good it is important to avoid the clutter and pay close attention to our surroundings. Just as our parents warned us to watch who we were friends with, the same applies as adults.

We as humans are likely to read, watch and use the same materials as our peers. So, what are the people you spend your time with doing? Is that congruent to what you want for yourself? If not, then you have some important decisions to make.

Motivation and Inspiration from Reading

It’s easy to get caught up in every day life and avoid the things we know can improve our lives. You may want to ask yourself, what was the last book I read? Perhaps you already read motivational or inspirational books.

Books and quotes are my favorite way to clear my mind and replenish it with positive thoughts. You may even listen to positive or educational tapes or cd’s in your car, if so you are on your way to a better life.

The Bible is a great source of inspiration and one that can provide hope and instill faith. Attending Church will allow you to surround yourself with others that also have a desire to improve their lives.

Inspirational music can fill your heart with love and open your mind to hope. And prayer can provide you with strength in any situation.

“To You I will cry, O Lord my Rock: Do not be silent to me, Lest, if You are silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit.”
(NKJ) Psalm 28:1

Keep reading and keep learning. Inspire hope and faith by surrounding yourself with positive and uplifting people. You have what it takes to be successful in whatever you choose.

Until next time, whatever your dreams are, Go For It!

Optimism

Optimism

Optimism can change any situation, and will keep you grounded in your faith. Fortunately, your attitude is something you can control, so stay positive and your faith will grow.

This quote from Lucille Ball is a great reminder.

“One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn’t pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.” ~Lucille Ball

Optimism and Faith

What is Optimism?

From Wikipedia: Optimism is a mental attitude — a happy belief that the outcome of some specific endeavor, or outcomes in general, will be good. A common idiom used to illustrate optimism versus pessimism is a glass with water at the halfway point, where the optimist is said to see the glass as half full and the pessimist sees the glass as half empty.

Share if you agree!

American author and motivational speaker Zig Ziglar once said “Life is too short to spend your precious time trying to convince a person who wants to live in gloom and doom otherwise. Give lifting that person your vest shot, but don’t hang around long enough for his/her bad attitude to pull you down. Instead, surround yourself with optimistic people.” Click here to take a look at one of his best-selling motivational books.

How To Take Advantage of Opportunity and Achieve Success

How To Take Advantage of Opportunity and Achieve Success

If you learn to recognize and take advantage of the right opportunities you can achieve success in life.

This Opportunity Road Trip was a huge success.

On the road for a week we were networking, planting seeds and launching new businesses. Everywhere we went, people were excited to learn about the business opportunity we were sharing.

The trip began in Covington, LA and I joined my friend, Captain Jack, in Ocean Springs, MS. From there our first stop was Gainesville, GA. Everywhere we went people were friendly and excited to hear about what we were doing. We were just having fun, reuniting with old friends and meeting new ones.

While in Georgia we did a little fishing on Lake Lanier. Now I’m really not much of a fisherman, but when you have a great guide like Randy Dover, even a novice can get lucky. That’s how I achieved success and hooked this 25 pound striped bass! Check it out.

Barry Page Achieving Success Catching Striped Bass

After we left Georgia we headed towards the mountains and stopped in Chattanooga, TN where we met some good people. We then traveled to Knoxville, which is such a great city with much to do and service minded volunteers. Here’s more from Knoxville in a quick video.

Calling all Volunteers

Opportunity is Everywhere

When we arrived in Nashville we were amazed at the growth going on there. The Music City is alive and opportunity is everywhere. We had close to twenty people at an impromptu party, and everyone was amazed by what we were sharing. Lives are being changed here and entrepreneurs are seizing the opportunities.

So by now you’re probably wondering, what does catching Striped Bass and visiting Music City have to do with you? Well maybe nothing… but I think they can tell you a lot.

You see while I was fishing, I noticed that our master guide had lots of things going on. He was navigating our boat in zig-zag motions as he glanced back and forth between his depth finder and sonar. Meanwhile he was strategically casting lines and giving us as many opportunities to catch large fish as possible. He was continuously watching each line to alert us of any possible bites and telling us when to reel them in, and when to be patient.

“Action is the foundational key to all success.”
~Pablo Picasso

That’s what makes a person successful in business and sales. You have to increase your probability for success by reaching out to as many people as possible. You have to take advantage of opportunity, and take action!

In Nashville, the skyline is full of cranes. Buildings are going up everywhere downtown, and businesses are capitalizing on the opportunity. When businesses are left alone to grow based on the market, they will flourish as long as long they pay attention to the indicators. The indicators are everywhere, we just have to look for them.

Marketing and Selling

One indicator of our economy is the growth in network marketing and direct selling. As a whole, the MLM industry is larger than most others, with over $34 BILLION in retail sales. And, according to the Direct Selling Association (DSA) in 2021 there were over 7 MILLION distributors in the USA alone. Yet, the market is wide open and poised for explosive growth.

2021 Direct Selling Factsheet

Direct Selling historical chart.

Even Forbes is suggesting that Multilevel Marketing (MLM) or Network Marketing could be a resource for retirement income. Multi-Level Marketing Company For Retirement Income

Do you want to be a part of that explosive growth? If so, you can join a network marketing organization, or you can build your own business in sales. With today’s technology, you can do business virtually anywhere.

***Looking for a way to add quality leads to your funnel using AI, so you can generate more sales?

Timing is everything…

While we were traveling this was evident. Some people we shared the business opportunity with told us they were too busy, some people were complacent where they were, and some people were close minded. BUT… Nearly everyone we talked to over a week in 7 cities told us they wanted more time, money and freedom.

The secret to catching large striped bass and capitalizing on growth is learning how to fish with more lines, and take advantage of opportunities when they come along.

The opportunity for your success is HUGE! Get started where you are and while you can to take advantage of the explosive growth happening right now. Don’t wait… Take action!

Until next time,
Create Opportunity and Achieve Success!

Attitude

Attitude is Everything

“Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company…a church….a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past…we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude…I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you…we are in charge of our attitudes.”
