New year, new thoughts, new hopes and dreams. So, what is it about goals and goal setting that deserves our time and attention?   It’s human nature to always have hope, possibility, and expect the potential of what might be!   Show notes - https://www.streetsmartwealth.com/blog/good-bad-goal-setting   I want to dive into goals, goal setting, the fears we have around this process, and what we really must know about goals.   One of my favorite quotes is by Jim Rohn, on goals -   The true power and success in setting a goal is the transformation, growth and learning you accomplish on the way to achieving it.   The challenge with most goal setting is:   Random thought of what we want.   No true planning before.   No planning for actually achieving it.   And, 365 days stretching ahead of us.   The problem with this much time to achieve the goal:   We procrastinate.   We forget.   We get distracted.   We let fear settle in.   Last week, we picked one big STRETCH goal for 2021. Or, at least I did. Have you?   Here’s

Ready to kick 2020 to the curb? Have much more in 2021. So, let’s do it. 1st, Create a crystal clear vision for your business and the lifestyle you want to create through your business. The "why" is the most important part of the whole equation. It doesn’t matter what type of entrepreneur you study - real estate, internet marketer, network marketer, inventor, author/speaker - and so on - the key elements to success are the same.  2nd, know your plan - Write out your daily marketing plan and do it. Take steps daily, and invest in your education, refuse to quit. You need a way to connect with new people daily; share what you do in a way that connects with them and does not spam them. 3rd, Uncover hidden challenges that are holding you back - this is where you must get very clear, very authentic and very committed to removing these roadblocks. It starts with realizing and acknowledging that NO ONE holds you back but YOU. -Push past your fear and do things that move you out of your comfort zone. What you focus on

My greatest reward from my network marketing business is the ability I had (and still have) to be there for and with my children. Even though they are both grown and gone and my son is a father himself, I never lose sight of the pure joy that brought to me, and the peaceful world it gave them to grow up in. Just a few weeks back, I was able to move a few things in my schedule and meet my daughter in New York City for 5 days, staying in a penthouse apartment 35 floors up, overlooking the Hudson, with the Statue of Liberty beckoning to me every morning and every night, right out the window. My business didn’t stop. It didn’t need to. I have set things up so that I have a truly laptop life and business, Corporate America could never offer me that. In my opinion, there is no better time or option right now than network marketing. In my opinion, and Google backs this up, it remerged as one of the most powerful business models for families today, all across the globe. What else allows moms and people to work from h

2020…it’s been a “thing”, hasn’t it? And not just one thing, but many many things. Plenty of good, bad and ugly. And, while most of us are ready for the clock to strike midnight on 12/31 and have instant change. Probably not going to happen like that. So,  let’s talk about reframing how we look back and look forward. I’m Jackie Ulmer.  I help Network Marketers make money, without annoying their family and friends, and build a thriving social selling business. We do all of this together in the Street Smart Wealth Academy. Learn more at StreetSmartWealthAcademy.com We’re living through something that has never before occurred, on a global basis. Think about it; except for some remote civilizations in Africa, Australia, and elsewhere, we all wake up with one common thought daily - what’s new with Covid and what does it mean for me? I’d like to share a little of my experience these past few months, and see if any of it strikes a chord with you. For the most part, my life has been unaffected. I’ve been preparing f

Do you know how to effectively introduce yourself in a way that creates instant impact, curiosity and interest? Far too many network marketers like to use their company name as a way of explaining what they do. I hear this a lot: I do Arbonne. I’m with Herbalife. I am Team Beach Body. Do you fall into this trap? First, no one cares about your company or product names. In most cases, these names mean nothing to them. And, you miss a chance to make a connection when you fail to introduce yourself and what you do effectively. There is one thing that is always on your prospect’s mind, even subconsciously and they is - WHAT’s in it for me. What do you do, and how would it benefit me? You’re likely having that thought too, when you meet people. Show Notes: https://www.streetsmartwealth.com/blog/impact-introduction-network-marketing

Other People’s Opinions are one of the most common things that hold us back. Keep us stuck. Keep us making up stories about other people. We have deep fears about what others think and say about us. And, why is this? Do they pay our bills? Feed us? Care for our children? Are they really spending as much time thinking about us as we like to think that they are? Do you spend much time thinking about and judging what others are doing? We spend a heck of a lot of time “thinking” that other people are thinking things about us. Most of the time, we “think” that their thoughts about us are negative. Here’s a little secret - other people aren’t thinking about you as much as you think they are. People don’t spend that much time thinking outside of themselves and their own situation. Do you? Show Notes: https://www.streetsmartwealth.com/blog/network-marketing-other-peoples-opinions

Often, we struggle in getting our business started with lack of belief. We have big goals, but we can’t believe that we can make it happen. Today, I’m sharing a quick exercise so you can see how to reprogram your thoughts. When I look back on some of the things I thought would be the magic pill to build my business… Well, let’s just say I don’t do that very often. The time, the money, the energy. The gurus, the “secrets”, the challenges, the membership communities… What am I missing? Have you done this, too? If you're looking to work smarter, with less hustle and grind, let's get on a call call.StreetSmartWealth.me Your Subconscious mind is powerful. This exercise in your mind shows just how you can easily program it to believe and experience anything you want. Stories have the ability to invoke our sense, and also have the power to produce an experience in your mind that it is not currently experiencing. Listen and go through the 1 minute exercise and see what's possible. Show notes - https://www.streetsmart

Procrastination is always about something deeper. We have fears; we are uncertain; we are not feeling up for the task and so we procrastinate. When you are feeling the urge to put off, or procrastinate what you know are the tasks that will move you forward in your network marketing business, STOP. Ask - Why am I procrastinating or avoiding the action steps that I know will move my business forward? Be very open to what comes up for you. Your mind will always seek to give you the answer. Why is this stopping me? Why am I allowing this to hold me back from pursuing my goals? My hopes? My dreams? Is it a person? Who is it? Why do they matter? Is it their opinion of me? What I am doing? Who would I be and what would I do if I didn’t care about this? Now, here is the really important part - Show Notes https://www.streetsmartwealth.com/blog/overcoming-procrastination-network-marketing

Daily Mindset Work is the work that every millionaire and every billionaire I’ve ever heard interviewed practices. I teach my clients how to set an income goal and a date. And then do the work in their minds, on paper each day, to get them to the goal. Everything is created in the mind first. The device you are listening to this on was first in someone’s mind. They thought about it; probably wrote ideas and plans, tried, tested, failed and feared. And, got up and kept going. The chair you sit on, your bed, the car you drive, music - everything was created in the mind first. Your success has to come from your mind first. Connect your thoughts to the right feelings of who you must become in order to have what you want. Then, the ideas for inspired action steps to take will show up. You must take them. This is what creates your results. Thoughts are things. Thoughts become reality. Do you believe this? Look around you at the thoughts you’ve had that have manifested into your current reality. Now, do you believe

Let’s talk about gratitude in a new way, given the crazies of 2020, and how to have it in spite of and because of what we have and are experiencing in the world with the Pandemic. Gratitude is a word that is often and easily bantered around. We hear about being grateful, a gratitude journal, 10 things each day.. What is gratitude, really? And how do we manage to feel grateful when we are in a challenging situation? Covid-19 was certainly not something most of us expected. But, it came, and it's here, even still. It has forever changed our lives in many ways, some we don’t even know yet.

We are left figuring ourselves out, our lives out, our businesses out, in the midst of it. Some people are thriving and some are struggling. Let’s get you to the side of thriving if you are not. Life is 50/50. Always. We have joy, love, peace, happiness. We also have, conversely pain, grief, disappointment, frustration.  We are human, real, authentic and vulnerable. Sometime, we can lose sight of feeling grateful when thing

When we are challenged in Network Marketing, it’s easy to think there is something more we need to learn. But is it? Is it a mindset issue or a skill set issue? I recently had a consultation call with a network marketing pro, with a decent level of success. Yet, she spends the last week of every month scrambling to get her “leaders” qualified. This means she is finding customers and team partners and placing them under those “leaders” to qualify for her bonus check. That doesn’t sound very fun, rewarding or like a win win for anyone involved, really. She wanted to know how to train and motivate them to do this themselves. My immediate thought was why? Why would they ever want to do this for themselves if they just sit back and she earns their check for them each month? Listen in for more.

A better concept for Overcoming Fear is pushing past fear. Fears never completely go away. Some do, in certain areas. Practice and repetition create this.   In order to get there, though, we must push past those fears. We must learn to “Do it Scared.”   We can do tough things. The hard things. I can, and so can you.   The challenge is that your brain is stuck in primitive mode. At least the part of your brain that is running the show, typically.   That part of your brain says - no, don’t do that. It might be uncomfortable. It might be unpleasant. It might bring up feelings and emotions, and do you really want to go there?   This is where you take charge. You pay attention. You become aware. You do your daily thought downloads. You do them multiple times a day if you find yourself getting stuck. You stop, and write down your thoughts. And, you practice some tough love on yourself. Are your fears true, or real? Right now, Are they happening? Is it something from the past? Or something you are projecting into th

What is graspy energy vs certain energy in your business? We give off energy and when you are feeling desperate, or graspy, vs certain, calm and cool, your prospect feels it. Show notes - https://www.streetsmartwealth.com/blog/graspy-certain-energy-network-marketing My client, Sarah asks - I can’t seem to get anyone interested in my business. Why am I not signing up more people? I am committed, consistent and yet I talk to people and nothing happens. I asked some questions via email to get to the heart of this. And, looked at some of her social media content. Language matters. Phrases and words like - Get, BUY my stuff, no one, everyone, can’t, join my team. Graspy, urgent energy is rushed. Frantic, almost. Goal focused, and mostly focused on oneself. Certain energy is calm, poised, solutions oriented and detached from the outcome. What is the energy you are going into a situation with? A conversation? A social media post? An email? Creating a product. Creating results its best when it is easy, effortless an

Network Marketing success requires Accountability for 80% of those in the business. That’s because 80% lack the internal motivation to get the job done. It doesn’t mean you are bad if you fall in that 80%. It just means you have to push yourself harder. A vision board that clearly paints the picture of your goals and desires is also a great accountability tool. Just spend 5 minutes each day going through the photos and what’s on the board and imagine when it’s done. FEEL what that will be like. If that’s not enough, consider getting an accountability buddy. Someone who will push you and keep you accountable. And, you will do the same for them. I don’t recommend anyone upline or downline. It needs to be someone you know well, but have no financial connection to. Set your goals together and set your commitments to your business and to each other. Check in as much as you both need and commit to, and make it short, sweet and focused. Don’t let it be a whining or excuses session. What you intended to do, what you

When you aren’t experiencing the success you desire, remember this - nothing has gone wrong. Let’s discuss Network Marketing as a success equation. Show Notes - https://www.streetsmartwealth.com/blog/network-marketing-success-equation Your business and success is like a Science Experiment or a Math Equation. When you begin to think of it in these terms, you open yourself up for inevitable success, because you know that it is solvable and there is an answer or solution. YOU create the success in your life. Only You. It’s easy to say “yes, but, there are other people and factors, especially in Network Marketing.” When you align your thinking, and therefore your energy, with like minded people, and you are committed, consistent and visible, you will attract the right people and situations to you.

You can’t measure what isn’t tracked. As we discussed last week, your calendar is your best coaching tool and indicator of where you are and what you are committed to.   Your calendar is also a great place to track the steps you are taking in your business.   It’s where you can track meeting new people. Each day. Offline or online.   It’s where you track who you shared what you do with.   And, it’s where you track who you offered and asked to try your products and your business.   My focus word for 2020 is accomplished. Each day, I track what I have done in the areas that create clients and income for my business. At the end of the day, I check the box of accomplished on the ones I hit my goals.   And, there is a big glaring emptiness where I didn’t.   This makes me want to show up better and different tomorrow.   When I track these details each day, I don’t need anyone to tell me what’s right or wrong in my business. I know already.   Write out your income producing activities, start tracking and self coachi

Most of my clients get stuck on the part of Social Selling that requires you to “Show up.” To be seen. Do you ever feel this way? Some people get stuck here FOREVER. Network Marketing success is like dating. You meet that “perfect person.” He (or she) is the “package” and you are ready. But, he never asks you out. He flirts a little. You stalk him on Social Media, but you never connect. But, he is sure he is looking for YOU. Most of you are doing the same thing with Social Media, feeling like you don’t know when to post on social media, much less WHAT to post. You have an idea, but then… Your brain is saying - NOOOOO! That’s dumb. People will laugh. They’ll talk behind your back. You’ll suffer social humiliation. You can’t possibly post a selfie. It needs to be perfect.  It can’t be perfect til you get a haircut. And, color. New makeup. Maybe a total makeover. Pretty soon, it’s just one excuse after another. Show notes https://www.streetsmartwealth.com/blog/how-social-media-has-you-stuck
