I’ve been on a hiatus revamping my life, my focus and my business. Being that I’m always up to some “great idea”, I’ve been confronted with tons lately that have been good….but not the perfect one to pursue. Ever since I was young, I’ve always enjoyed finding ways to motivate and encourage others. As my friends would say, “If you hang around Nikki long enough, she’ll have you beleiving that you can walk on the moon!”.

I agree!! I am that person that can pump you up to believe that you can do anything, but I only do that because I believe in people following their dreams and pursuing their passions. With that said, I have made the committment to a new business “Purpose, Profit, Passions!”, which is my motivaltional speaking and personal development company.

Realizing that it doesn’t make sense to try to host several different blogs, “Viral Marketing Geeks” will now be merged with “Purpose, Profit, Passions!” as a source of personal development and internet marketing strategies that can better help guide you down the path of Success.

It takes Personal Development and knowing your purpose first, before strongly pursuing any other pursuits. I find that so many people are running around here jumping from one career to the next, wondering why they loathe their lives, not realizing that they have never stopped to think about the things that they truly desire to do or understand their lifes purpose.

The goal of “Purpose, Profit, Passions!” is to show people the necessary steps to discover their Purpose, push them to seek out their Passions, and then I will guide you on how to turn those Passions into Profits! This will be a fun and exciting journey that I can assure you that will be satisfactory for us all. It is my hope that you can find use of the different materials that I will be sharing with you, and find Joy in the Journey of Pursuing your lifes Purpose.

I recall the days of english class when we were constantly reminded of writing our papers in the Who, What, When, Where, Why & How format.  Although I never really scored that high in my english classess, I quickly learned to adopt the process of simply “asking questions”.  Now that I’ve become more mature and could better process the cause and effect concept, I realize that everything we do MUST HAVE A PURPOSE AND INTENT.

It goes with saying, “those who fail to plan, plan to fail”! The alternative to this would be Jim Rohns awesome statement “If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.”

My question for you today is “What is your Why for what you are currently pursuing?” Why are you involved in that home based business? Why do you want to learn more about Internet Marketing? Why do you want to make more money? Why are you trying to meet people on Social Media Sites? Why are you reading this blog entry? Why?

What is the purpose of what you are doing? Where will it lead you? What are you going to do to make sure you succeed? What plans have you mapped out to ensure you succeed? Who is mentoring you and guiding you along the way? What if you encounter a  challenge, how will you face it? …………………Who, What, When, Where, Why & How?????????????????

Can you answer these questions?

You may think I’m getting too deep into your business, but that’s good. That is my intent. I personally have been faced with asking myself these question and if I don’t stop to consider them and truly think them through and map them out, then I am bound to fail.

Despite your endeavors, and regardless of your “ambitions”….if you do not know “why” you are really pursuing what you are pursuing, then the minute a challenge comes along, you will be knocked down, ran over, trampled on, forgotten about and eventually your “dreams” will fade away…..

Just to be transparent with you, I will give you a quick peek into my world……………

I have always wanted to be a motivational speaker and seek to impact the lives of people. Although I didn’t necessarily realize this while in college, I discovered it along the way when I had gotten involved with ministry and volunteered for local juvenille facilites in my college town of Auburn, AL.  The more I realized how much I wanted to help people, the more excited I became in “civil activities”. The problem was however, that I was majoring in a subject that had nothing to do with “service”. Instead, it was based on another favorite passion of mine………MAKING MONEY.

When I graduated from college, I struggled with the crossroads of “should I go and serve in some form of non-profit to help people”  or should I puruse a corporate career and climb up the ladder to earning a 6 figure salary.  The truth was, I had always planned on being a millionaire so anything that didn’t pay well was often over-ruled by a great income earning opportunity.

It didn’t take me but one year to realize how much I hated Corporate America. Dreams of Climbing up the Corporate Ladder quickly became visions of escaping out the “fire exit” of what I considered to be the building that smothered your dreams, while suffocating your vision within the cubicle walls. Once again……………I QUICKLY LEARNED THAT I HATED CORPORATE AMERICA!

My chase for entrepreneurship was quickly discovered as I sought ways to financially fund my overhead while giving me a flexible schedule.  I would try it all…waiting tables, selling Avon, selling jewelry, selling Real Estate, Selling travel, substitute teaching……………..you name it, I’ve done it! And although it would help make me a lot of money for that time, I still had this nagging desire to really help people.

Having discovered the world of network marketing, I saw how I could marry the two together….Helping People while making a comfortable living doing so, and also having the flexibility of my time so that if I wanted to volunteer at a youth center, group home or convalescent home, I had the control and freedom to do so.

About a year ago, I went through the soul searching process again. Being a new mom, living in a new city and having just lost everything that I had built along with my husband over the past few years, I needed to get clarity on where I wanted to go from there.  My quest would lead me to the world of Internet Marketing, where I would sail through the chambers of unknown concepts that could assure me long-term success as I mastered the Art of Attraction Marketing by providing quality information and guidance to the lost souls online, and make money doing it….

I was unsure of how to approach it, but along the way, the blueprint became clear. Everyday, I would put forth a strategic plan of action that would ultimately lead me to where I am today. And now, I have clear “who, what, when, where, why & how goals”.

My Why is to “Earn a substantial amount of income while helping others, with the flexibility and abundance of time to invest in civil services”.

Everything I do is with intent and purpose, and builds on this simple “Why” statement.

My goal for you today is to write out your Why statement, and create a gameplan that will ensure your success!

There is another great phenomenon that every one is trying to get into lately….It’s been on Oprah, The Daily Buzz, MSNBC and all things Media.  I just so happened to turn on The Daily buzz last week to catch them interviewing a guy about how he makes a living doing this……….As they interviewed him, he pulled out his flip camera, and wanted to make sure he had gotten his own footage to upload onto his blog, so that this too could be a great story for his thousands of followers.

The main topic of his interview was “How do you really make money blogging?” Of course he couldn’t give up all of his goods during this one 5 minute interview, but it dawned on me that the world is desperately trying to figure that out.

If you are really desiring to learn how someone can truly make a living as a blogger, tonight we will discuss how you can now do that exact same thing. I recently invested in a great book that explained in full detail how this all works together. I highly recommend you do to, so that you can discover the secrets of the trade!

For months I have been preaching a message with sincere urgency, emphasizing the greatest rule in Internet Marketing. For months I’ve fought for the greatest unwritten rule in the industry, with no intentions of ever falling back on that Grand Master Plan………….never thinking for a second that I had it in me to step back on all of my rules and beliefs.

But recently, something so amazing came to me, and I guess….I’m a sucker for a great and amazing opportunity that in my eyes…is unparalleled to most that have come across my path. Welp…I guess rules are meant to be broken cause guys…my infamous rule of “Never Promote Your Company Or Product”…has been split in half with my latest marketing efforts as I shattered every previous emphasis of this rule!

I recently found an amazing company that has opened doors to all of my passions which are, ministry, internet marketing, personal development, mentoring, teaching, coaching, consulting and helping others enhance their image. A little more than a year ago, I gave birth to my first child, Chloe Imaan Cooper…………She has been such a joy, but the process of pregnancy and giving birth has thrusted me into a new complex or personal challenge shall I say.

Many may never even think it possible, but ever since I had my daughter, I’ve been having personal challenges about the transition that has taken place with my body. In the eyes of most, my size 8 tall…what appears to be slender body may be an understatement of “body shame”….but what others hadn’t seen, I have struggles with and despite my “appearance of small frame”…I personally see the gravity that has begun to take a toll on my …once athletic build, and so my hunt for change has been on, as I sought for what I’ve personally titled “Mommy Lifestyle Makeover”…or as my good girlfriend Nicole Porsche Mosely has titled it “Operation Hot Mama”.

I had made a commitment this year to enhance and improve every area of my life. My social life, relationships, friendships, physical image, and every other area. I have been craving for a total lifestyle transition, and as of a month ago, after pitifully poring out my personal sorrows about my body image all over a mommy blog…I realized how pathetic I sounded and decided to go ahead and join the gym…abiding in the faithful demands of my husband to “Stop Whining and Start Doing Something About It!”……..Not even two days after joining the gym…a girlfriend sent me these before and after pictures…

Considering that I had just begun to battle the bulge…I wondered, what in the heck is she doing cause I need to get rid of my little pouch that had gotten quite comfortable with protruding over my pant lines…and started to form a little rollover under my clothes….

With great interest, I called her and so goes the introduction to something that has hit home for me. With great zeal, I shared this modern day miracle with others, and found that so many people have been buried under the pain and shame of weight. So many moms have had their outgoing personalities buried under the pains of that baby weight that they have never been able to rid themselves of. Some unfortunate overweight individual has battled low self-esteem and shut themselves out from the rest of the world because of this unwanted leech called weight….

Once I realized how big of a battle it has been for so many people, and saw the impact that my message could have on the world…….I didn’t budge at the opportunity to share this revolutionary product with the world. So if I have contradicted my own rules and stepped out into the No Mans Land of Professional Internet Marketers…then so be it if it means that I can help save a life, improve and enhance someones image and rid them of their shame to experience a sense of hope………….then so be it!

I am here with a purpose to impact the lives of others….so this is part of my journey in doing so. You can see the launch of my life changing campaign. Please rate it and leave comments!

You Ready to hear this? Are you sure? Okay…………here it goes:

BUILD VALUABLE RELATIONSHIPS FIRST!

Got it! Yep, that’s it! I know it’s more than you can handle, but if you really want to get a step by step guide on how to do this then check this out!

As I think back on the “booming days” of 2005, I am refreshed by the thought of a thriving economy, smiling faces, good news and a very cushy life. 2005 was my best year ever, earning my first six figure income with the opportunity to pursue my life long dream of real estate investing.

I bought 3 properties that year, dumping thousands of dollars in cash into one of them, which was our primary residence. I just new that I would be able to turn things around and flip in a year or two, with the potential to make an easy $100k…………

December of 05 would be my best month yet. I had scored over $30k in commissions.  Trying to be a wise duck,  I invested it into what I thought was a “safe investment” (my home), little did I know what would lie ahead.

After December 05, my next closing wasn’t until May of 06.  Fortunately, in the meantime, I had enough cash to last us for a while, covering two mortgages amongst several thousands of dollars in overhead. The pressure was on and the reality was setting in that the market was on a downturn, and property values were slowly decreasing. With that in mind, I quickly began seeking out other outlets to generate extra income to position myself for financial security, in hopes of avoiding a financial crisis.

Then along came a “business opportunity” that I just knew would be the answer to my financial worries. I jumped at the opportunity with overzealous excitement and began to tell the world about “my company”. I can’t lie, it was good, really good in the beginning. I was able to see a great response with tons of people joining along with me with just as much enthusiasm as I.

However, months into it…I realized that I was in over my head more than I realized financially. And no matter how much money I was making in my MLM, I still didn’t have enough to cover my excessive expenses. Panic was setting in as I saw that I couldn’t pay my $2500 mortgage much longer, or afford the nearly $2500 that came along with the maintenance of my house.

My total overhead was over $7000 A MONTH, and by the looks of it, as much as my MLM company was willing to pay me, I still had far too many mountains of debt that I couldn’t afford to pay….

Not to mention the “Attrition” and other challenges that I saw occur with my business. After a while, I realized that I was in over my head, and in order to save my marriage and protect my mental sanity, I realized that I needed to let some things go, including my pride, and FILE BANKRUPTCY!!

Nearly a year and a half later, I’m pleased to say that filing bankruptcy was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. With a newborn on the way, we were able to focus on creating a new life for our child with far less overhead and unnecessary responsibilities. Although I wanted to blame my MLM for being the cause of my situation, I came to the realization that it was actually a blessing and an amazing opportunity.  But I was not positioned to take advantage of it because I had come in to the business with too much debt.

After sharing this with a friend the other day, he began to tell me how so many people have been faced with the same situation, jumping into MLM in hopes of it being their rescue boat from their financial sinking ship.  I get those calls every day where people are desperate to HURRY UP AND MAKE MONEY, with MLM being their only option. If that is your story, I do not want to discourage you because MLM is truly an amazing opportunity to generate some quick cash……I’ve benefitied from the industry a great deal.

However, my point in sharing this story with you is to get you to realize a few things that you MUST DO, in order to really succeed in this industry while protecting your financial future:

1. MLM is only 1 source of income that you should be working on. Because it can take time to generate leads and a consistent base of income, it isn’t promised that you will make enough money to cover your household expenses.  Therefore, YOU MUST FIND ADDITIONAL STREAMS OF INCOME!!!! …..which leads me to point #2

2. You Need A Funded Proposal! A funded proposal is a way for you to generate income online while building your MLM business. It solves the 2 basic problems that most network marketers have which are:

1. Lack of Leads
2. Lack of Money To Support Your MLM Business.

A Funded Proposal will allow you to make money through the use of Affiliate Programs where you will Make Money from the sell and marketing of other peoples products, while generating leads for your business. For more information click here.

3. If your overhead is really high from a lifestyle that you know you can no longer afford, DOWNSIZE!!!! I am not telling you to file bankruptcy…that is not my point of this message. I am however telling you that if you are trying to find a source of income that will replace your previous income IMMEDIATELY while triyng to maintain a lifestyle that you can honestly no longer maintain…..be willing to LET SOME THINGS GO…..otherwise, you will end up with a HUGE FINANCIAL HEADACHE, painfully putting way too much pressure on yourself as you slowly see your life roll down hill….TRUST ME…IT HAPPENED TO ME!

4. Find a mentor that will have your best interest in mind, and will be willing to guide you in the process of generating a consistent online income. This journey is very challenging and a bit overwhelming. It’s easy to tell you what to do, but the truth is, you need to be told “how to do it”.  I host FREE WEBINARS every Monday night, to do just that. To be added to my list for Monday Night Webinars, Please join my mailing list so that we can make sure that you receive the best guidance possible on this journey!

It is with sincere hope that you learn from my mistakes. I have decided to be transparent and share my failures with others so that I can help them avoid repeating my mistakes. Although times are hard, we can be very wise and position ourselves for success. Money is still being spent, and people are still earning an honest comfortable income.
