Hi there,

Long time no blogging!!

There is good reason why I have been absent at my own party!

My friend and colleague Justine Simard and I have been collaborating on an exciting project for a few months now. Our new project is SpunkeBusiness and although I've mentioned it before, we are now officially launched.. and ready to inform and assist with great free training around building a network marketing empire around a personal brand and some good old home truths about the network marketing game.

So how can SpunkeBusiness help you?

SpunkeBusiness is a free membership site that aims to assist network marketers restructure their network marketing operation around a personal brand. Now more that ever, a personal brand is a necessity if you are to be successful moving into 2012. Justine and I have proved this… We have both been successful across two top tier online businesses, but got tired of seeing our partners and team members failing.

"The truth is that just following the system like the company tells you generally doesn't work (and most companies know this)."

Think about it!

How many network marketing gurus are actually out there promoting their business upfront? Don't most attract huge numbers to their name, generally around an area of expertise… not just a blog about their life…but real value (and not crappy PLR material either!) and then have a subtle link to lead people into their business opportunity. They never really promote what they do… this is Personal Branding and this is the future of network marketing.

"Top producers in the network marketing industry do it differently and have done for years; they brand themselves and then leverage their primary business opportunity off that personal brand."

Justine and I really witnessed this when we changed our primary business earlier this year and without any promotion, we achieved Global Consultant of the Month in our third month. We realised that the personal brands we had build around our performance in our previous business meant that we have willing followers.. and already, SpunkeBusiness has created effortless sales (and we're talking profits between $1 and $10K) without any phone calls or prospecting from us. This is how you want your network marketing business to operate for you…not the other way around.

And what happens if your company folds… as my friend Sue Smart commented the other day, "we've had the goal posts moved so many times.." meaning, you can build a formidable downline, only to have that taken away from you… suffice to say, Sue now has a strong personal brand!

SpunkeBusiness houses great free training around just how to go about building your personal brand and Justine and I will be adding to it regularly as well as running free webinars around the process we are going through and how you can do the same..

What is most interesting I think is that you will be witnessing a brand (SpunkBusiness.com) being built using the very masterplan we are promoting in the training. And if you wanted to follow along and build your own using the training, then what an awesome opportunity!

See you over at SpunkeBusiness.com and please share this with your friends; it may be the most important info they get this year (especially if they're struggling network marketers!)

Hi there,

You know one of my focuses these days is on just how to build a sustainable income online. I have seen and been part of single faceted business

opportunities that have you believe that if you follow the simple system and be a complete devotee, that the money will flow. Well I am afraid for the vast majority this is actually not the case. Most online business opportunites are simply not what they are cracked up to be and through no fault of your own you will never make money out of them; they sell hope, that's all. That's the solution? How are people generating a real income online over the long term?

The answer is they are developing a strong PERSONAL BRAND and therefore a strong and loyal following.

Once you define and establish a strong personal brand that your audience trusts and relies on to fulfill its needs, only then can you build multiple streams of income that will operate on autopilot including:

· Your network marketing opportunity will ‘sell itself’ based on YOUinc.

· Your own products (E-books, courses, webinars etc) will sell based on YOUinc.

· Your affiliate products and alliances will sell based on YOUinc.

· JV partners will seek you out based on YOUinc.

Think of all the ‘gurus’ you have looked to to fulfill a need you have…whether it is to inspire you or to inform you, or merely to entertain you. What do they have in common? Why do you seek them out? You trust that they will have the ‘Truth Factor’ and believe they will have the ‘Unique Attributes’ to assist you. For example, if you need a laugh you know if you visit XYZ’s YouTube Channel, you’ll get a giggle. If you need up to the minute marketing advice, you know that by visiting ABC’s blog, you will get truthful information that you can act on with reliability.

These people have built strong personal brands and have leveraged a lucrative income from that, NOT from being a rep for a network marketing company (even though most will be affiliated with one that they sell on the ‘back end’ after giving great free value) or using marketing funnels and replicated websites provided for them by their company.

At the end of the day, in most cases, it takes a little more than just signing up for a network marketing company to create an income for life.

Hi there, I wanted to post this great content by my friend Justine Simard…. together we are tacking the issue of unsustainable network marketing businesses. One of the keys to overcoming this is to build a personal brand. …… How much can you grow within your personal brand? Can your personal brand EVOLVE over time? How will you cater for this personal brand evolution? Although your personal brand should have boundaries (set by your identity, passions and purpose), it must allow for growth within its scope. Personal brands can be too big and too small, or just right! Some [...]

“The Holy Grail (that is the Brand) lies in something in which you create intangible value that then becomes tangible. A brand is trust”. BrandWeek Magazine It’s so true that value always begins with the intangible… think quantum physics and the ‘Law Of Attraction’, popularized over the last 10 years. Your brand is just this… a situation where you have the opportunity to create extremely cost effective intangible value, in the form of YOU inc. and what you have to offer to assist others to: Achieve their goals Be happier Overcome an obstacle Once you realize what the intangible [...]

Hi there, I need to tell you about a book called Six Pixels Of Separation by Mitch Joel. I stumbled across his book at the Brisbane airport late last year. I love airport bookshops.. they always seem to have a great concentration of business books… Anyway, I loved the title…a play on the idea that we are all connected by less than six degrees…in this case the suggestion is that in the digital world there are no degrees of separation..we are all connected..by a click of the mouse.So I want to share some of Mitch's excellent teachings around the necessity [...]
