For the past few months, I have been looking at my businesses in a clearer light; not different but clearer. I have been making sure, people that see me see that I am working hard to leave a legacy for my family. There was something that gnawed at my mind about the word legacy.
Legacy: anything handed down from the past, as from an ancestor or predecessor. (from dictionary.com)
A legacy is very important to leave behind, yet it must be something good; worthwhile.
Right? That's a given. Or is it?
It's so important to let your family and your children know that they are just as important to you in your death as they were in your life.
This is why being a serial entrepreneur is so essential to my life. Not because I like signing up for many things, but because I am looking at what I need to make it past J.O.B. (just over broke).
The point is, the family. Now this is funny, because most people that know me will say, I wasn't about family, which was not true. I am about the future that my children, and husband (if he is still living) will have when I'm gone.
I thought this morning, how, when God releases me from the 9-5, that I don't want my husband to do it alone. I don't want him to feel like he has to keep working for a pension, even now. I don't want him to feel like we will never live in the abundance God has for us.
The point is to leave something behind, but position and work what I have, while I am still here.
So glad to have an ear to hear.
I have many affiliate programs that I belong to that are essential to life and building business. I am creating a cushion while I build my self made businesses.
God's awesome power and grace are evident in our lives. Women need to grasp their spirituality and obtain the breakthroughs necessary for growth and elevation.

Day 42 of the 77 Day Challenge
This has been a great challenge for myself. I must say that right off! It has been a long hall of challenges and trials for myself.
Long story challenge short, I am so tired. This is really hard work. Why? Well, me, being the serial entrepreneur that I am, I work really hard to do it all. ALL! Working at a 9-5, my family, my businesses, I do it all. So the only reason why I am doing this challenge is to work on ONE business at a time to make it work.
I have been focusing on my coaching business for the most part of this challenge. It has helped me to focus on what was best for my clients, not myself. I have scheduled many events to end this year, and get COACH DANA in the faces of others. I have written articles to help show me as an expert in my field. What has been my noticeable expertise in the past 35 days? Helping and encouraging others. That has been the high point and high life of my challenge! Realizing that my business is NOT about me is not something new, but something more exciting to look forward to everyday!
As a self-proclaimed business coach, I know that everything I do and learn is about increasing my wealth, but increasing the understanding with my clients and what THEY do next. As I look at day 42 of this challenge, I see that I am working hard not just for black Friday..but for 2011. I see past the problems we all have as business owners and help see the gold lining (silver is just not enough) that will help leave a legacy.
So where do I go from here. I keep doing what I am doing! Day 42 hasn't brought me more money, but it has brought me more insight on how to help bring in the money for myself and my clients. So...35 days to go...are you with me?

Is GVO The Ultimate Marketers Tool Box
When marketing on the internet, sometimes you feel like your head is going to explode! The amount of tools, systems, and services out there will make your head spin which make promises of easy riches when you use them.
Every day, there seems to be another "magic tool" that pops up promising millions of visitors to your site and large sums of money in your bank account....effortlessly.
It can get overwhelming and take focus away from what you should be doing to build your business.
As you know, there are tools out there that not only make your life easier, but keep your business running on auto-pilot for you.
The trick is to know which ones to focus on and which ones to stay away from!
Let's go through the essentials which every top internet marketer depends on a daily basis to run their million dollar businesses...
1) Web Hosting
Obviously, without hosting, the internet would be a pretty boring place to hang out. If you have a domain name, you need a place to host it so others can find you.
Hosting companies out there range from free all the way to over $500 a month for dedicated hosting.
The key is to find a company that provides 99% uptime and also provides 24/7 support in case you ever have a problem.
And of course, just like anything, you get what you pay for.
2) Auto-Responders
Have you heard the phrase, "The Money Is In The List?"
Well, having an autoresponder and building a list that knows, likes, and trusts you is the fastest way to literally pushing a button and having money coming in your bank account... faster than you can say... Hot Biscuits!
The formula is simple.
Create a page that gives something of huge value totally away for free. This could be a free report, a video lesson, an audio interview, or a live webinar.
Then, in exchange for your free information, the visitor will give you their name and email address.
And then the magic happens. You can follow up with them automatically and offer more value and even get them to buy something!
This is all done using an auto-repsonder, all automatically and efficiently for you.
Again, companies providing auto-responders range from $20 a month up to $99 a month.
3) Video Hosting
The internet is all about video. And without some type of video on your website, most people will simply not hang around.
Video allows you to bond with your visitor and create more trust than with just words on your site.
We've all heard of YouTube for sure. But is a free service that is known for pranks, jokes, and music videos the right image for your business?
There's a reason the top marketers host their videos through paid services and you should to.
4) Website Builder and Prospecting System
99% of internet marketers don't have the time and/or the skills to create their own websites or prospecting pages. Trying to learn website design and html code is not the best way to spend your time.
That's where website builders come in. You simply customize your pages with your own video, product info, auto-responder, and you're done!
5) Live Webcasts
The most powerful way to sell is face to face. You get instant feedback and customers can ask questions and get their answers immediately.
Since we don't want to meet all our visitors in person... Webcasts are the next best thing.
We can sit in the comfort of our own homes and present to people all over the world. Product demonstrations, video overviews, live questions and answers, it's all possible with Webcasts.
If you're not using Webcasts in your business, you are missing out on thousands of dollars of sales.
Typical companies charge between $49 to $99 a month and more.
The Top 5 Essential Tools
These are the top five tools that every top marketer uses and depends on a daily basis to make sales on auto-pilot.
And you can too.
Now, you can get all these great tools from different companies and pay between $150 to over $350 each and every month.
Or, you can make the smart decision and get them all from one company and save a huge amount of money.
GVO offers all these tools under one roof and for only $1.45 a day. That's less than a Starbucks coffee!
And the best part is, for a limited time, you can take advantage of all these amazing tools and profit with them for a full 14 days for only a $1.
Don't decide now, use all the tools and see how powerful they are and how they will help explode your business online right now.
Go here for your test drive:

This is a SHOUT..not a Shout OUT
As a Child of God, there is a fine line we walk to stay focused and on point. God's plan for us is already set in motion; what we do in the middle is important to fulfilling the plan. The trials of marriage, children, work or business will hinder our minds if we let it. The trick is to NOT let it. Walking in the fullness of Christ in business and in life is difficult because of the enemy's snares. Although he comes to steal, kill and destroy, we have to acknowledge that we have the power and the promise to push him back. It is easy to say prayer helps, but it is better to use the wisdom from God in order to pray! We are heirs to all things great, large and small, according to God's word.
Playing Catch Up: Day 34 of the 77 Day Challenge
This has been a great ride getting through this challenge. A friend of mine encouraged me to focus on ONE business during this 77 day challenge, so that was Coach Dana. Going strong and getting things scheduled has been a busy process. So, I've been playing catch up with networks, businesss associates and more.
When I started this challenge, I had deactivated my account on Face Book. Now that I am trying to write more articles and brand myself, I have reactivated in order to get the word out about ME!!! Yes, so the challenge is even more challenging because you can get caught up in the wrong conversations on that network.
Needless to say, I am working diligently to keep focused. So here we are on day 34 of the 77 day challenge, half way there! HALFWAY!
What can I tell you about the past few days? Well, let us see here: I have invested a few pennies into GREAT Network Marketing businesses. What, did I say that horrible word(s) Network Marketing? Well, as a business owner you have to do it. So, this business is not something that offers you what you dont want, it offers what every small biz owner, direct sales consultant NEEDS. A virtual office, conference room, etc! I was so excited to get involved; I was about to spend $60 a month on a webinar room where I am now spending 8.97 (see my previous blog)...
GVO Conference
I have scheduled webinars for Coach Dana and challenges for business owners on the site.
BUT BUT BUT, I must say that I did jump and look at one of my other businesses in the past week. Faith Travel 4 U has had some upgrades to the site. I have added Hotels.com, Cruise Direct, and Sandals in the past week to help serve my customers better. These sites give you more to choose from and great deals when it is time to travel. Go there and get your travel needs met!
I didn't mean to jump over to the other business while trying to build Coach Dana, but the challenge has been challenging and rewarding.
So that is what I have been doing on the challenge. Day 34 is huge, I have to get more things organized..please watch the blog!!

Ok, dont TRUST ME
I am a serial entrepreneur and I love it! WHY? I have various gifts and talents that allow me to help leave a legacy behind for my family.
As a business owner I need to have my options wide open in order to go from level to level and continously be successful.
I am encouraging you to look at GVO Conference. Now, you don't have to trust anything I say. Just look at the video and YOU decide. When travel expenses are up and down; when the recession has been killing the jobs and the spirit of biz owners. No..you don't have to trust me. Just keep spinning your wheels trying to get the word otu about your biz, event, or group. OR, you can look at GVO and sign up today. Start using your conference room TODAY.

If you have a social network you can move your business chats to your conference room.
This room is only 8.97 per month and gives you more to bargain for when you get started! DON'T forget that you can make money from this service as well.
I just want the room and want to share it with others, don't really care if I make money, but don't want you to miss out either. So you don't have to trust me, just check it out for yourself... http://ping.fm/Jj3un

HOME PARTIES via Web Conferncing
I have been in direct sales for many years. I haven't dont a great job in making money becuase I couldn't have 2-3 parties in one week. I still worka 9-5, I have my own self made businesses, and I have a family. When was I going to have a 3 home parties to make enough money to leave my job? Never; that was then and I am so glad I didn't quit.
Let me give you some background music here:
We are rich beyond our wildest dreams with the knowledge we have. We can sell lingerie, candles, makeup and more door to door, and make enough money to keep us at home with our kids. (men or women) Now we have to take that knowledge share it with others and keep moving. We need to hit the ground running with what the CEO's of major companies (OR network marketers) are using: THE WEB. I'm not talking about websites, I'm talking web conferencing!
Have a home party from your home! Invite $50 people, have a giveaway, or prize..charge a small fee,whatever you feel necessary or beneficial for your biz.
I want you to check out GVO Conferencing. Take everything to another level in our web conferencing for the direct sales businesses. Webconferencing is not new, but it is essential to growth and taking business to the higher level.
I really value your time so I will get to the point. I am personally looking for Leaders..DUH!! and YES!!
Network Marketing..is a bad word, but you DO IT EVERYDAY. Everyday you sit down and call a prospect, or book a party, or send out a blast, that is what you are doing.
I know you have made money in the industry and love it as much as I do, let us go further, help others to do the same and build more than one business during this time.

Joel Therien is about to launch what will be a product that is industry changing.. truly a product by network

Day 25 of the 77 Day Challenge
Okay the last five days have been a whirlwind! With traveling to Chicago Friday night for church service, a funeral on Saturday and home due for my ministry class today, these five days have been great. I have accomplished so much in little time.
First off, I finally got some financials done for my home. Basically, in order to grow I need to find a way to live and in order to live I have to have my finances in order. One thing that was slowing me down, was not being able to give my kids spending money. I found a way to give them allowance, start a savings plan, and help show them how to pay their tithes and offering. The best system that has helped me is FamZoo. I just joined last week and it is keeping me on track to take my entire family further in saving dollars to make sense. Try it out!
Secondly, I signed up for a webinar service that is only 8.97 per month (after the initial 29.99 payment and 8.97). This service offers all of the amenities that the other services offer, but also includes recording AND you can make money from others that sign up. I have learned,as a business owner, you must invest to get a great return (one of those is tithing, and the other is putting money in your business.) I signed up for GVO Conference (this is the prelaunch link) and have already scheduled a few webinars for the month of October.
Goals seminar
Lastly, I have started a newsletter for C.K.Q. LLC that is full of everything in the corporation. Better to have one newsletter that covers all self made and affiliate businesses than to have 100 newsletters!
I'm excited that the 77 day challenge is going well. Day 25 proves to be a great one.
