3 Tips For Blogging Success

Three Tips To Blogging Success:

He re are 3 tips to creating a powerful blog that will help you brand yourself for success and eventually drive traffic to your lead capture page, creating more customers and business partners:

1. Blog consistently.

When getting started, I suggest sprinting for at least 2 to 3 weeks, blogging 5 days a week, then you can back off a little to 3 times a week. The more you post, the more likely you will be found.

2. Make the blog about you and your business.

Don’t make it one big ad or pitch. People see this type of thing everywhere. Make is personal, make it unique and make it about you.  Talk about your dreams, goals, aspirations, successes and failures.  Post pictures and events of things that are core to your values and passion.

3. Use keywords in your blog post title and mixed throughout your post.

Link your keywords to places that you want people to go when they search for those words. (Hint: Your lead capture page).   Don’t stop just because it feels you are talking to the air.  Keep posting and eventually you will be found!

You Are Destined To INNOVATE

The Ultimate Entrepreneur

Have you ever thought about what it must have been like to have such clarity of vision that despite sitting in the presence of absolute darkness, void, and emptiness, still the creative energy that flows within you is like an UNSTOPPABLE storm about to change the landscape of the future as we know it?

Can you imagine believing in your vision so much that you speak to it, hover over it, meditate on it till eventually it is manifested into reality?

This morning during my devotion, I was meditating on Genesis 1 when the pages came to life as if in a 4D movie.  Absolute darkness, complete emptiness, zero reflection, total silence and YET……astronomical entrepreneurial energy!

GOD IS THE ULTIMATE ENTREPRENEUR.

Let’s look at the first known creation in Genesis 1.   It says that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void and darkness covered the face of the deep.  AND YET…The Spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters, over the darkness, and over what seemed like NOTHING!

At this very early stage of the Ultimate Entrepreneurial venture, there was nothing but the vision of God.   There was NO SIGN that would dictate his plan would work, nothing to even make is seem possible.  There was no proof that such a world of systems could work.  Even though the Bible says, “In the beginning WAS….the heavens and earth”, they did not even exist yet!  They were nothing but a plan, an idea, an entrepreneurial vision of GOD to make SOMETHING out of NOTHING.

Point #1:   Every entrepreneurial vision begins with the hope of something that has not yet been created.

Point #2:  Every great entrepreneur does not let current reality define their ultimate destiny.   No matter where you are right now or what your current circumstances may be, you are the incubator of greatness.  Your current reality is nothing more than preparation for your ultimate destiny.

Point #3:  Darkness, silence, emptiness and even loneliness are the perfect pH balance for miracles to happen.  They were the soil for God’s creation to be manifest.  The darkness, void, and empty moments of your life could very well be the time when you are to begin speaking to your creation, hovering over it and start expecting it like never before to appear before your very eyes.

Expectancy is the breeding ground for miracles.

Point #4:  God SPOKE to his vision, “Let there be light.”   The bible says light appeared, even though it was eleven scriptures later (vs.11) when the stars, sun and light were actually made reality.   You must believe in and speak to the vision in your heart even before it is a reality.  Call it into being.  Prepare for it.  Make way for it’s arrival and then wait with earnest expectation and faith.

When God innovates, He does so in the midst of the most uncommon, unnatural and seemingly impossible climates.   With David, He saw a king when others saw a sheperd.  With Mary, He saw the womb of the Savior when others saw a little girl.  With Jesus, He saw ULTIMATE REDEMPTION when others saw a carpenter.

When God looks at you, He sees so much more than the world around you could ever see in you.  Do NOT be despised by small beginnings.  Do not be disheartened when those around you see your dream as small or insignificant.  Do not be swayed by only what is seen.  For it is that which is UNSEEN awaiting birth that will be the greatest inventions of our future.

“Oh the creative, entrepreneurial energy that surrounds us!   Even in the midst of the Garden of Eden, little did Adam know that a chair existed in the tree.  Tomorrow’s greatest ideas, inventions, businesses, and discoveries are resting in the things that already surround us today.  The catch is…..will you see them?   Will you be the ONE to bring them out of the tree and into the world as we know it?

Point #5:  NOW is the time.   THIS is the place.  And YOU are the one to bring into reality that which has never been done, never been heard and never been conceived.  You are the Sons and Daughters of GOD, created in HIS image.

CREATE - INNOVATE – BELIEVE!

“There’s Got To Be A Pony In Here Somewhere”

Your life, your brand, your imprint upon this world rests on how you handle each storm that passes. Consider this: Life is 10% about what happens to you and 90% how your react to it.

ZOMM Mom Dreams Big!

The Power of A Dream

Have you ever had a lightbulb “ah-ha” moment where you think, “wouldn’t it be great if someone could create…..”

In a moment’s flash, a thought is given birth to what “could be”. That is the power of a dream. Unfortunately, most people never allow the seed of what “could be” to take root in their consciousness with a clear belief of its possiblities.

That is certainly NOT the case for Laurie Penix, a mom of three kids and wife who has never let the boundaries of impossibilities stop her from taking risks in her dreams.

What started as a “treadmill induced epiphany” for Laurie, moved quickly from concept to reality in only six months. While trekking away on her treadmill, Laurie received a call from a friend telling her about her husband’s frequent cell phone loss rate.

After hanging up the phone, a circumstance or need gave birth to an idea, a concept, a dream of what “should be”. Laurie said to herself, “Someone should create a devise so that none of us would ever lose our phone again.”

The Dream Is Conceived

Stepping off the treadmill of creativity, Laurie bolted into the office of her entrepreneurial husband and shared her idea. The two brainstormed and as they did, the dream became a passionate desire to do something to fill the need.

The Passion Breeds Purpose

As their thoughts continued and synergies united, the passion for what could be and should be became a moral imperative of what MUST be. “Too many families are losing phones and losing money and time in the process.” As more ideas flooded they thought of higher purposes for such an idea being birthed, including its potential to be a safety device, an emergency alert system, and even a call notification unit for people, (like us women), who can’t get to our phones fast enough (due to mounds of STUFF in our purses) to answer our calls.

The Power of Executing A Plan

Laurie and her husband, Henry, quickly went to action securing a team of industry leaders willing to believe in the dream of this revolutionary idea. What started as a dream is now a HUGE REALITY!

ZOMM, which stands for Zachary, Olivia and Madison’s Mom, is the first wireless leash for mobile phones EVER. Brought to life at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January 2010 in Las Vegas, ZOMM connects to any Bluetooth-enabled phone. As you walk away from your phone, your ZOMM, which is attached to your keys or purse will start to blink, then vibrate and ultimately sound an alarm notifying you to turn around and retrieve your phone immediately. It is that simple.

For most of us, just the thought of knowing we won’t lose our phones would make this an amazing product, but it gets even better. They also added call notification with a speakerphone. If your phone is out of reach in a purse or gym bag, you can retrieve incoming calls simply by pressing the button on your ZOMM to answer it, or send the call straight to voicemail by pressing the button twice. As a fully functioning speakerphone, you can talk directly into the ZOMM.

They also added a personal security feature. Press and hold the button to sound an ear piercing panic alarm. And if you continue to feel threatened or need emergency assistance, continue holding the button to call 911. Without ever touching your phone, your ZOMM will dial emergency assistance from anywhere in the world.

“Developing a feature rich product was one objective, but making it user-friendly and easy to use was the key priority,” added Henry. “We wanted a device that could be used by all ages.” And ZOMM delivered just that. It is easy and comfortable to use. And not only easy to use, this innovative idea received the “Best of Innovations” award from the Consumer Electronics Association. “The award was confirmation that this was a great idea,” Laurie said.

Zomm is now taking pre-order sales to get into the hands of friends and family. A short supply of ZOMMs are available at ZOMM.com. Expected to hit retail stores by the Summer with the current target price of $79.99.

From dream to reality, let Laurie’s story elevate your thinking to believe that a dream, no matter how big or small, can be brought to life with passion, purpose, and a plan that is executed upon well.

Congratulations to this ordinary mom who took a chance on an EXTRA-ORDINARY idea!
