DNA Miracles™ Natural Products are Now Available on SHOP.COM!

We’re here to share incredible news with you! The highly-anticipated DNA Miracles™ Natural products are now available in the United States on SHOP.COM. With the addition of DNA Miracles™ Natural Diaper Cream, Foaming Wash & Shampoo, and Hydrating Baby Lotion, you’ll now be able to give your children the highest-quality products on the childcare market!

Amber Ridinger McLaughlin and Duane McLaughlin launched this revolutionary line at this year’s International Convention and there has been quite a buzz surrounding these pediatrician-approved, all natural products for the last several weeks. Now that they are available on SHOP.COM, here’s what you need to know about these new products for your little miracle:

DNA Miracles™ Natural Diaper Cream
The new Diaper Cream is natural and nontoxic, sure to be safe for your little one. It combines a natural petrolatum alternative to create a barrier between your baby’s skin and irritating wetness, and zinc oxide to create a soothing layer on the skin. It fights diaper rash and keeps your baby dry and comfortable. To learn more, click HERE.

DNA Miracles™ Natural Foaming Wash & Shampoo
Bath time for baby is a breeze with the new Foaming Wash & Shampoo. Suitable for newborns, this product is as delicate as your baby’s skin. The Foaming Wash & Shampoo is free of harmful sulfates, fragrances, and preservatives that make other products much too harsh to use on infants. Instead, coconut oil acts as a natural cleanser and conditioner to protect your child’s soft skin. For more information, click HERE.

DNA Miracles™ Natural Hydrating Baby LotionYour baby’s face and body deserve the best treatment, which is why Amber & Duane added a Hydrating Baby Lotion to their line of all-natural products. The Hydrating Lotion is gentle on sensitive areas and is clinically proven to moisturize, nourish and protect your baby’s skin. A newborn’s skin is five times more sensitive than that of an adult, so hydration is key! The Hydrating Baby Lotion can be applied any time to give the skin the nourishment it needs. Find out more HERE.

Every child is a miracle and DNA Miracles™ Natural products include the best ingredients available to give your little prince or princess quality care during some of the most important years of their lives.

Staying Accountable with The Basic 5 Diagnostic Test

The Basic 5 Diagnostic Test is a business-building tool that you simply can’t afford to miss out on! If you’ve taken it, you know how helpful it is in understanding your strengths and weaknesses and what activities can help you improve. If you haven’t taken the test before, put it at the top of your to-do for the long weekend!

The Basic 5 Diagnostic Test can be found in your back office under “Support Materials” in “Downloads.” On the “Support Materials” page, select “Administration” from the drop-down menu. Once the page loads, scroll down to “UFO Basic 5 Diagnostic Test” and click the link to open up a PDF. Print the PDF, find a comfortable spot with no distractions, and get started!

When completing this self-assessment, the most important thing you must remember is to be honest with yourself! Nobody likes to talk about their flaws or have someone point out their weaknesses, but when it comes to this test, dishonesty will only hurt you. Keep in mind that the test is also designed to highlight your strong points and areas you excel in, so be as honest as you possibly can to get the most accurate assessment.

While the Basic 5 Diagnostic Test is meant to be completed autonomously, you may want to discuss your results with your mentor or a few team members. Talk about your weak and strong points, how you can provide support to one another, and ideas for working collectively to help each other improve. Come up with a 3 month plan for how you will improve your weaknesses and use your strengths to help others in your team. When 3 months is up, take the test again to see how you’ve improved and what areas you need to focus more attention on.

Everyone should include the Basic 5 Diagnostic Test in their business-building toolbox! This is one of the best ways to stay accountable to yourself and your team members. Take it from Dennis Franks, who spoke about the importance of taking the Basic 5 Diagnostic Test during International Convention this year:

Tell us: How do YOU use the Basic 5 Diagnostic Test to help you stay accountable? Share your ideas in the comment section below!

Tips for Creating Perfect Twitter & Facebook Posts

Social media was a major theme at International Convention this year, but your learning doesn’t have to stop there! Our goal is provide you with effective social media tips, tools, and education on our blog so that by the time the next event rolls around, you will be leveraging the power of online communities to build your business like a pro. So today, we’re going graphic to share our tips for creating the perfect Facebook and Twitter post–with social media infographics, of course!

The Perfect Twitter PostWhat’s in a tweet? Or, should we say, what’s in the perfect tweet? If you’re still working on getting acquainted with this social network, the question might be a bit daunting. But not to worry! Creating the perfect tweet is a lot easier than it sounds; just take a look at our Twitter infographic below!

Your message should include a call to action and interesting questions or useful facts. If you’re adding value and not just talking about yourself, your followers will be more inclined to engage with you. To be sure that you’re using proper punctuation, grammar, and spelling, check your tweet twice before you post it! Make sure to use correct @ mentions (i.e. @LorenRidinger) to appropriately attribute information to someone or when you want to engage another Twitter user in conversation. There’s nothing worse than mentioning the wrong person in a tweet, so be mindful about your mentions.

Since you only have 140 characters, use them wisely and leave space for retweets (RTs)! A good rule of thumb is to keep your tweet under 120 characters long (including your Twitter user name). This way if someone wants to retweet your tweet, they can do so without having to edit it.

During Loren & Steve’s social media presentation at International Convention, Loren talked about using bitly, which is a free link shortening service. While you have the option of creating a free bitly.com account, doing so is not required to access their link shortening service. Simply visit their website and paste the link you want to shorten into the text box on their home page and click “shorten.” Bitly will generate a new, shorter link that you can copy and paste into your tweet. How easy is that?

The Perfect Facebook Update
Do you know what types of posts on Facebook get the most engagement? Or when you should post updates to get the most engagement?

Shop Consultant Spotlight: Carl Eklund & Jodi Easton

This week, our featured Shop Consultants are successful husband and wife team Carl Eklund and Jodi Easton! Last Thursday we asked our Facebook audience what questions they would like to ask them about building a successful business. Interested in seeing if they answered your question? Read on!

What do you believe we should incorporate more of and less of into our businesses?

We believe everyone should incorporate more accountability groups to create transparency within their organizations and less busy work. You will not build a successful team checking your back office or Facebook 24 hours a day.

Do you have any suggestions for getting out of state prospects to join if there are no UBPs or NMTSS in their area?

This is currently one of our passions, as your business grows it will spread to areas where the NMTSS has not yet emerged. We are in the process of working on a solution that would simplify long distance sponsoring but in the mean time MeetON.com is an amazing resource for information. It is also crucial to keep the new partner connected through a team Facebook page and free scree- sharing technologies for trainings and mentoring.

What are some ways you keep your team motivated?

We keep our teams motivated with something we created called 6×6 Accountability/Momentum groups. “6×6” stands for 6 weeks to create the base to a 6 figure ongoing income. These accountability groups have created well over 150 new partners for our team, numerous new PIN level advancements as well as tons of retail sales in less than 6 months because we keep duplicating it in our group. When people see success all around them they can’t help but stay motivated because it is working.

What is one mistake you made while building your business, and what is your advice to others who want to avoid making the same mistake?

We all hear it in the beginning but I don’t think we truly understand what it means to waste your time with people that waste your time. We had to learn to laser focus on the people that were willing to learn and duplicate the Basic 5. We love everyone in our organization, but we spend 80% of our time with the people who spend 80% of their time on result producing activities

What was your “ah ha!” moment?

We had our “ah ha” moment when we hit two PIN levels in 3 months by implementing our 6×6 accountability/momentum groups. We quickly realized this was a way to teach brand new partners or partners that had been stable and waiting what their result producing activities should be. We saw that this was a duplicable system and now we have shared it with other organizations who implement it and they are having the same results.

What is YOUR favorite SHOP.COM feature & why?

Every feature on SHOP.COM is our favorite! We know that internet marketing is the future and we have the tools to show others how they can tap into this booming industry. We have built our business highlighting all the features of SHOP.COM through another proven system we created called “Portal Tour Prospecting.” Everyone is looking for an opportunity these days, and with internet businesses being very appealing we simply take them on a tour of our portal to show them all of the latest technology it has to offer! And we always introduce them to ShopBuddy, our BFF!

Do you have any advice for new UnFranchise® Owners who are shy and want to get over their fear of public speaking?

Yes – just do it! I have more fear of public speaking than most but I feel the only way to get past that is to force yourself to just do it. After you will have sense of pride because you overcame your fear! We call this “standing in the heat.” We all must stand in the heat at some point if we choose to grow as human beings. And believe it or not, you WILL survive! Remember, this is a new company so let’s create a NEW YOU!!!

If you could have an unlimited amount of any Market America product, what would it be?

This is our favorite question because the product we would love to have an unlimited amount of is our best product – belief! If we could just instill in our new partners the belief that Jodi and I have in this company the rest would be easy. Unfortunately, belief is something they have to create themselves and this is why we NEVER miss a major event. We have seen people’s lives literally change at these events and that is where we all tap into an unlimited supply. For that we are eternally grateful.

Other than having time or financial freedom, what is your favorite thing about being an UnFranchise® Owner?

My favorite thing about being an UnFranchise® Owner is the personal growth that comes with this business. We are doing things today we would have never thought possible just 5 years ago. This business is based on education, mentoring, growing and getting out of your comfort zone, as you do these things you cannot help but grow as a person and we believe it is our responsibility to pay that forward and help others achieve the same.

What is one thing that the majority of UnFranchise® Owners don’t do every day but should?

We have found that a 10/3/2 momentum sheet is the easiest way to success. If all UnFranchise® Owners simply committed to filling out a 10/3/2 sheet every day so they could track their progress, they would see remarkable results. This is another reason we are so dedicated to accountability/momentum groups; it is a fun way for us to share what works with our partners and keep them on track to reaching their goals.

We would like to thank Carl Eklund and Jodi Easton for taking the time to speak with us and revealing some of their best business-building tips! To submit a question, keep a close eye on the Market America Facebook page. This Thursday at 12 PM EDT we’ll give you an opportunity to submit questions for next week’s Shop Consultant. Then, read the ma® Blog on Wednesday to see if your question has been answered!

Now it’s your turn: which one of Carl and Jodi’s tips do you think will be the most helpful to your UnFranchise® Business and why? Comment your answer below!

What Entrepreneurs Look Like

Have you ever wondered what great entrepreneurs have in common? Successful entrepreneurs, from Henry Ford to Steve Jobs, share similar qualities with one another.  These 4 qualities can help you become a better entrepreneur! 

Take InitiativeWaiting for others to join you in your initiative can slow the wheels of innovation and drag out the process. Instead, practice increasing your initiative by stepping up to the plate and volunteering to lead projects. Entrepreneurs who take initiative in projects and ideas and make things happen are highly valued in the workplace.

Make GoalsCreating short term and long term goals can help you take your business to the next level.  Research shows that when entrepreneurs set measurable goals for themselves, they’re more like to achieve them. Successful goals should inspire you, light you up, stretch you and scare you just enough to make you want to keep going.                                                  

PrioritizeIt’s difficult for entrepreneurs not to take a hands-on approach but sometimes you have to stand back and look beyond today to determine what’s in the best interest of your business and yourself over the long run.  Prioritizing will not only help you stay on top of your work but it will also keep you on course in achieving your goals and objectives.

Renew Your ResourcesYou should avoid getting overly caught up in the high-tech world, but you should also know how to take advantage of using it. Top entrepreneurs buy and read business and marketing books, subscribe to newsletters, and browse websites often. Staying on top of news and using fresh resources will improve your understanding of business and marketing functions and skills.

Even if you don’t have all of these characteristics, don’t fret. Most of them can be learned with practice and by developing a winning attitude! What do YOU think are the must-have qualities for entrepreneurs?

4 Tips to Make the Most out of Your Free Time

Your kids are back in school and you have a little bit more time on your hands. It’s time to get back on your feet! We have 4 solutions for making the most out of your day and your week without the little ones around.

VolunteerA lot of parents volunteer at their children’s school through PTA, Community Council, writing the newsletter, and other tasks. You could also find other organizations in your area to work with, like a local animal shelter, the United Way, American Red Cross, or Food and Care Coalition.

Take a ClassWhile your kids are in school, you can get an education, too! Learn about interesting things to increase your topics of conversation. A lot of community colleges have Continuing Education classes that you could take a couple of hours a week.

Make New Friendships
Have lunch or a cup of coffee with other parents in the neighborhood. Getting to know your neighbors on a personal level can help you master your networking skills as well as create lifelong friendships. Besides, spending time with friends is a great way to unwind and have fun, too!

Pamper Yourself
Kick off your shoes, put your feet up and enjoy some pure fiction for an hour or two, or light up your favorite scented candle and take a hot bath. It’s OK, you’ll have plenty of time for housework while the kids are in school too. Right now it’s your time to relax.

Is there something you’re excited to do now that you have a little more time in your hands? Share with us on the comments below!
