The Dream 100 Challenge

 

4 Key Principles for Creating a Stream of Leads and Clients

 

Many people are opting out of facebook as it has more and more security issues and negativity.

 

People are - surprise - going back to investing in quality time, unplugged, with people who truly MATTER.

 

Remember when social media was so filled with big houses, fancy cars and a bunch of stuff that made some look and feel successful?

 

But many have realized that buying things they didn’t need, to impress people they didn’t even like, was a crazy waste of time.

 

Time is our most precious commodity and that thing we can’t get back.

 

Personally, I am committed to creating transformation for those who truly want it.

 

Why? Because I have experienced that in my own life, especially when I stumbled on the internet and COMMITTED to doing the work to be successful.

 

Notice I said - doing the work.

 

No one did it for me.

 

My first Dream 100 group has launched and you are still invited to be a founder. And, learn How to Succeed on Social Media With the New Rules.

Vanity metrics are over and I am committed to working in small group workshops to move those forward who REALLY want to MOVE forward.

 

At some point, online, everything became about how big and how many you had in every sense of the word. Vanity metrics is that way of measuring perceived success based on # of followers, connections, friends, likes, shares, comments, email list size and so on.

 

Talk about a sense of “Social Shame” if you can’t keep up, right?

 

Have you ever shared something on social media and it’s like CRICKETS?

 

We all have. It happens. It’s no big deal. However, today,  unlike when I started online in 1999, there is so much more noise online.

 

Back then, we didn’t have Social Media, and we sure didn’t have all of the advertising and marketing messages bombarding us.

 

How do you get noticed? How are you going to stand out?

 

The days of “Spray and Pray” are OVER, sista! (Or, brotha!)

 

That does not by any means mean that social media is dead for building a business.

 

That just means you need a newer, better, more authentic and relationship oriented way to succeed online.

 

A few years back I read Michael Port’s book - Book Yourself Solid

 

His subtitle is - The fastest, easiest and most reliable system for getting more clients than you can handle even if you have marketing and selling.

 

And, who doesn’t hate marketing and selling? Right?

 

That is EXACTLY what I am doing with the Dream100 challenge - teaching you how to get in front of and gain the influence of those who are your tribe,  and the people who can use and care about your message.

 

You must build a foundation.

 

And we don’t do that by blasting people all day long on Social Media.

 

We must build trust and credibility. Same thing.

 

And, we must employ solid self promotion strategies that work and aren’t all about you, your product, service or business.

 

Here are the core principles to building your foundation -

 

Choose your ideal clients so you work with the right people, have more fun, make more money, help more people and enjoy your work.

 

Understand why people buy what you are selling!

 

Develop your own personal brand online and offline, so there is no mistaking who you are and what you stand for.

 

Position yourself correctly by knowing how to talk about your offer in a way that makes sense and is NOT confusing!

 

I want you to hear that again - the foundation -

 

Choose your ideal clients so you work with the right people, have more fun, make more money, help more people and enjoy your work.

 

Understand why people buy what you are selling!

 

Develop your own personal brand online and offline, so there is no mistaking who you are and what you stand for.

 

Position yourself correctly by knowing how to talk about your offer in a way that makes sense and is NOT confusing!

 

My question for you - have you mastered these in your business yet?

 

Success as a solopreneur comes down to a FEW SIMPLE things -

 

Developing the business skills. These are all learned and I stated them above. Rewind this a bit and listen again.

 

 

If you don’t have these figured out, and you are tired of the struggle of going it alone and trying to figure it out, I have a special invitation for you to join me in the Dream 100 Social Media Challenge. I’m still not sure about calling it a challenge, because I’m a little worn out on challenges, you?

 

Have you ever started a 30 day challenge and not finished? I sure have. So, I don’t really want to go there! And, yet, I created most of it before I really thought that part through, so I’m open to your thoughts.

 

But, for now, we are carrying on calling it a challenge!

 

People are in pain and struggling for more in their lives, their relationships and their businesses. And, they are certainly struggling with Social Media as a tool to assist them in business.

 

Do you feel this way? Do you know how to find your tribe? Create your tribe and rock out your tribe?

 

Freedom is one of those things that many people crave…

 

The income, the true ability to have choices, sometimes for the first time ever.

 

It’s been my passion to mentor, coach and advise hundreds of men and women to grow the confidence… the energy…. and the INFLUENCE to create real change in their lives and the lives of others.

 

To own “your own little corner of the internet!”

 

I get that you probably have fear…. even resistance….

about up leveling your efforts to “put yourself out there”…

 

and, possibly, to have the success you crave.

 

It’s common to think that “failure” is the fear.

 

But, I believe it is often “success” that we fear.

 

Are we worthy? Do we deserve it? How will we handle it?

 

Let me just assure you - THIS IS YOUR TIME.

 

Social Media changed everything.  For me, and for you

 

Yes, no doubt, at first it was fun and engaging. Amusing…

Entertaining….

 

But, now, as we’ve grown wiser, we have gone back to craving real human connection.

 

And, at the same time, we are ever glued to our phones and “devices!” Right? You know I’m right!

 

What if you knew how to match the power of Social Currency;  how to build influence; and get in front of your ideal client, without being spammy; annoying your friends or turning off the very people who ARE your ideal client?

 

What if you could do this from home, at times when YOU are available?

 

Building a “Side Hustle” can be challenging.

 

Building a business full time and connecting with the right people is also challenging.

 

Come along with me as I pull back the curtain and walk you through one of the most powerful ways to grow a business…

 

Easily….

 

Effortlessly….

 

Elegantly….

 

Without spamming your wall…

 

Without spamming anyone else’s wall…

 

Without constantly pitching your “deal”….

 

Without pitching ANYTHING…..

 

 

As you know, I don’t teach theory. Only those things I have done and am doing myself.

 

Again, we start with these key things -

 

Choose your ideal clients so you work with the right people, have more fun, make more money, help more people and enjoy your work.

 

Understand why people buy what you are selling!

 

Develop your own personal brand online and offline, so there is no mistaking who you are and what you stand for.

 

Position yourself correctly by knowing how to talk about your offer in a way that makes sense and is NOT confusing!

 

What happens if you don’t do this

 

Oh, so many choices to make each day…

 

What do we move forward with and what do we delay on…

 

Disregard…or delete…..

 

What happens if you don’t make the choice this time around to join me in the Dream100 Social Media Challenge?

 

Nothing. Really, NOTHING.

 

You will continue on, happy and healthy in my best wishes for you, and we will “still be friends”, ha!

 

You will hopefully go on to figure it out and have the wild success you crave!

 

I’ve said no before. I’ve left plenty of great offers on the table myself.

 

For many reasons.

 

Timing was off….

 

Too expensive…. (I’ve learned that is never the REAL issue, so I no longer use that reason myself)

 

Fear….  And, most specifically fear in two areas -

 

1. Fear that I might lose some form of social status. And how would I feel if others saw that?

 

1. I would fall short, fail, and just quit. And, ultimately, that would make me feel bad about myself. And, as you may understand, it’s tough enough out there and we have enough to beat ourselves up over. I didn’t need to add one more thing to my list of “Self Shaming.”

 

Here are some things for you to ponder, unless you’ve totally decided that you are not committing at this time. In that case, hit delete and get busy with something else!

 

If you are still reading and still considering, here is my commitment to you -

 

YOU can do this.

 

And, I will be there to encourage you, and share my own experiences on how to do it.

 

YOU can do this well.

 

And, you may not bolt out of the gate in the lead. This is a marathon, and I am there to be your coach to get you beyond the first couple of days, when it all seems easy.

 

YOU will become more clear on positioning your offer.

 

I will share with you now to develop your “Benefit Statement” or “Intro-Teaser - that way of introducing yourself, sharing who you serve and WHY in a way that is engaging.

 

YOU will become more clear on who your ideal client is and how to get in front of them.

 

I will share how this is done, via social media, without annoying anyone.

 

YOU will become much more comfortable not only on Social Media, but offline, too, conversing and sharing your business.

 

And, I will show you how the two intertwine so beautifully together and you’ll expand your center of influence more rapidly.

 

YOU will succeed in MANY ways, beyond just monetary.

 

I call my company Street Smart Wealth, and the wealth is about FAR more than money. It’s about having wealth in ALL areas of our lives. One thing I know, and have learned - when money is not such a daily grinding issue, it’s easier to find the fun, joy and wealth in other areas of our lives.

 

It has been my joy to mentor, coach, and consult other entrepreneurs to believe in themselves, first.

 

Then, to become that next level version of themselves, in all aspects of their lives - wife, husband, mother, father, sister, brother, friend and certainly as a business owner.

 

It’s about creating a transformation that allows you to tap more deeply into your gifts, talents, creativity and wisdom; and then to challenge yourself to think in a way you possibly have not before.

 

Are you coming? I hope so.

As I said, When I started online in 1999, there was so much less noise online.

 

We didn’t have Social Media, and we sure didn’t have all of the advertising and marketing messages bombarding us.

 

How do you get noticed? How are you going to stand out?

 

Is what you are currently doing online generating leads for you? Sales, Clients?

 

Is social media is dead for building a business? Holy Cow, no! If it’s not working for you, it means one thing.

 

You need a newer, better, more authentic and relationship oriented way to succeed online.

 

And, I have the answer.

 

Are you coming?
