The Merriam-Webster definition of a tribe A social group comprising numerous families, clans, or generations together with slaves, dependents, or adopted strangers
Today the term tribe is used as a slang term for an unofficial community of people who share a common interest, and usually who are loosely affiliated with each other through social media or other internet mechanisms.
The Tribe supports you!
Therefore a tribe is a group of people connected to an idea, connected to a leader and connected to each other. What does this mean for you, the online marketer or individual building your business today? Being a member of a Tribe is like becoming a member of a Master Mind group whose purpose is not only support, inspiration and accountability it’s also “syndication” in the blogging world. Members read and comment, tweet and share each other’s posts. The purpose of which is to drive more traffic to the blog, increasing their Google ranking.
Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich, first defined the mastermind as a “coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose.” Continue Reading
I just read a great post by my friend Val Wilcox and it prompted me to share a Mind Movie I made about a year ago. I ran this movie on my desktop as a screen saver so that it was there all day! I also started and finished each day looking at it. Well I don’t have the garage full of Ferrari’s but that’s to come! Many other things have arrived and it’s still only one year later.
The Red Ferrari clones in your garage!
This “Mind Movie” is video filled with powerful affirmations, and emotionally inspiring images. By watching this video twice a day you are commanding the universe to bring you the people, and resources required to make your dreams a reality. Why Do Mind Movies Work?
They work because they leverage off the extreme power of the Law of Attraction. Basically this means that if you believe something with all of your soul, then it becomes true. Continue Reading
Have you had people suggesting to you that investing in brand development, positioning and messaging isn’t important? Well, just remind them that without your Brand, you will have very little left to compete with, other than price. If you don’t have control of that then you’re lost in the madding crowd. In other words, without your brand, you’re just another commodity. Continue Reading
Clients and prospects do need to hear from you on a fairly regular basis otherwise they will just forget you exist. If you come back a year later, even if they do remember you, they will have moved on to someone else or another service provider who is better at taking care of their needs.
Here are some idea’s:-
Keep intouch the personal way!
1. Write an email newsletter filled with helpful information, -not just promoting your latest product or service-and commit to sending it regularly. Monthly is the minimum, bi-weekly is better, weekly is best.
2. Stay intouch for birthdays, anniversaries, not just the usual Christmas card. Try seasonal greetings, like Valentines cards, 4th of July or July 1st for the Canadians! Thanksgiving, even just for fun, thinking of you impromptu cards. Better still, I have learned to make them more personal with video emails. A quick, cost effective way to impact my customers, clients and prospects through one way communication. This super tool can really set you apart, and with such a thoughtful greeting, who could forget your friendly face? Continue Reading
Just as your articles establish you as an expert authority, your marketing videos should do the same. To accomplish this, you need to consistently bring your viewers:
• Reliable facts and information
Use video and get found
• Solutions to common problems
• Information full of great benefits: for example, show how to save money, perform a task much more easily, actually use your product, learn a new skill
It doesn’t matter what topic your video follows – whether it’s instructional, funny, a “talking head” video, an interview – that’s only the method of delivery. To be perceived as valuable, you need to include solutions, benefits and facts your viewer can use. Continue Reading
Natural energy and weight loss
A large amount of all aging diseases (about 70-80%) are thought to occur because the stress level is too high, or stress continues too long. High-stress modern living is probably the main factor causing chronic disease and premature aging. Fortunately, Mother Nature has an answer a unique class of herbal products called “adaptogens”.
Rhodiola Rosea is one of the original and best-studied herbal adaptogens. Adaptogens help the body adapt to internal and external stressors, without stimulants or sedatives, by supporting normal physiological functions throughout the body Because adaptogens help reduce feelings of stress, many people feel increased energy and stamina while supplementing and, for this reason, its best to take Rhodiola Rosea in the morning or mid-day.

New research demonstrates that simply reducing caloric intake is not enough to cause significant weight loss. This could be the result of a natural compensatory mechanism that reduces physical activity following a reduction in calories.
Diet and exercise must be combined to achieve weight loss goals, according to the study.
These findings suggest that when you cut down on calories, your body automatically responds by reducing your activity levels. Years ago, when finding your next meal was not as easy as opening your refrigerator, this mechanism could help your body to hold on to valuable energy stores and survive longer in times of famine.
Today however, this process may backfire, causing you to hold on to excess weight if you do not make a conscious effort to increase or at least maintain your activity levels.
Also, although low-calorie diets have been sited as a plan to lengthen lifespan, if you simply cut way back on calories without meeting your body’s nutritional requirements, it can send you into starvation mode, slowing your metabolism and make it more difficult to lose weight.
The key to healthy weight loss is to use a combined approach of both diet and exercise together. This is the strategy that will lead to gradual weight loss and a healthier lifestyle that you can actually sustain and live with. Continue Reading
Enjoy the Health Benefits
Archeological evidence suggests people drank tea leaves steeped in boiling water as many as 5,000 years ago. Botanical evidence shows that India and China were among the first countries to cultivate tea, and today tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world, second only to water. Hundreds of millions of people drink tea around the world, and studies suggest that green tea (Camellia sinesis) in particular has many health benefits.
There are three main varieties of tea — green, black, and oolong. The difference in the teas is in their processing. Green tea is made from unfermented leaves and reportedly contains the highest concentration of powerful antioxidants called polyphenols. Antioxidants are substances that scavenge free radicals — damaging compounds in the body that alter cells, tamper with DNA (genetic material), and even cause cell death. Free radicals occur naturally in the body, but environmental toxins (like ultraviolet rays from the sun, radiation, cigarette smoke, and air pollution) also give rise to these damaging particles. It is thought that free radicals contribute to the aging process as well as a number of health problems, including cancer and heart disease. Antioxidants such as polyphenols in green tea can neutralize free radicals and may reduce or even help prevent some of the damage they cause. Continue Reading
Recently we were fortunate enough to hear Michael Losier (The Law of Attraction) speak on the topic of Abundance. If you ever get an opportunity to be at one of his seminars I highly recommend it.
In order to use the law of attraction to get what you want in life, you really need to understand how it works, Michael says. Once you understand and start to put the law of attraction to work, Michael says you will find success in your career, finances, relationships and more.
If you are a business person seeking out potential clients, deliberately talk about the kind of client you are looking for, Michael says. “As I give anything attention, energy and focus, I get more of it,” he says.
If you are trying to break a bad habit, like being chronically late for appointments, Michael says you should put the law of attraction to work for you by using affirmative statements. “Say, ‘I am in the process of attracting whatever I need to do or have to be on time,’” he says. Continue Reading
Be in Joy Now and Everything Will Change
To live in accordance with The Secret and the most powerful law in the Universe, we must be in Joy first – and then everything will change.

You must be in Joy first. And then your life will change into Joy.
Difficult times are the greatest opportunities in disguise. When we face difficult times we have to put in determined work to get ourselves into Joy. But let me tell you, when you can get yourself into Joy despite what is happening around you, your life must change – it’s the law! Continue Reading
Positive thinking is a mental attitude that admits into the mind thoughts, words and images that are conductive to growth, expansion and success. It is a mental attitude that expects good and favorable results. A positive mind anticipates happiness, joy, health and a successful outcome of every situation and action. Whatever the mind expects, it finds.
Not everyone accepts or believes in positive thinking. Some consider the subject as just nonsense, and others scoff at people who believe and accept it. Among the people who accept it, not many know how to use it effectively to get results. Yet, it seems that many are becoming attracted to this subject, as evidenced by the many books, lectures and courses about it. This is a subject that is gaining popularity. Continue Reading

“The people who receive the most are the ones who give the most. This is true of individuals, but also for businesses. If the focus is on how can we give the absolute best service, then the profits will follow. If a company is only focused on profits, they miss the big picture and will always be scurrying for 
business instead of having clients chasing them.”
