Kind of surreal leaving this house for the very last time, after being here 30 years, raising my kids here, fully renovating it to exactly what we wanted w Kevin over the last 2 years, to now selling it…..
We are building a new house 🏡 n Spring Hill which will be amazing and beautiful too, can’t wait for it to be done and to decorate again!!!! But thankfully in the meantime I have a little 17 mo grandbaby to live with and hold every day 💙
awwww….did you fail? did someone tell you no?
do you give up or keep going on what you believe in?
Remember when you were a baby or toddler, learning to walk? When you fell down, did you say “This walking thing is not for me, I will let people carry me from now on” Or did you GET UP, dust off your bootstraps and try it again! And now, what, I bet you can RUN too!
Same in your business, at the beginning you might fall, you probably will! But keep getting up, pretty soon you will be #running and #WINNING! Don’t give up!

Wow, the power of the Defend patch is incredible. 🔵my husband takes a medication for his type 2 diabetes that unfortunately it has given him awful side effects of getting sick🤮 usually for 2 to 3 days after the injection.
He put a Defend patch on to see if it would help the symptoms at all. Usually he can not eat at all without throwing up 🤮 he was actually able to eat and we went out to eat for ours sons birthday yesterday!
👇asked the husband how he was doing today, he said great, and he was hungry!
🟡my dad takes medications for his heart and blood pressure, if he forgets his meds, like he did yesterday he gets pretty bad angina and it takes a few hours for him to start feeling better after he takes his meds.
Yesterday after church, I slapped a Defend patch on him, within an hour he said he was feeling better. Much sooner than normal🙌
So tonight I am going to talk to you about daily method of operations. So your Dmo.
one of the huge things in business is. If you want to have a success in your business, then then these are just some of the things that you should do. if you watch other people and other successful people, successful entrepreneurs in any business you’ll find out that success is a process, and it doesn’t happen for anyone overnight most times like. unless they’re like the trust fund Baby, or they, you know, came from another Network Marketing Company, and they switched companies, and they brought a huge leg with them.
but they already worked for that leg in the other company right? So it still didn’t happen overnight for them. So 1 One thing I heard a long time ago is you will be recognized in public for what you do in private, and so that is huge like when you get recognized on the team, calls on the corporate call or at corporate events. When you go to them. you’re going to be recognized in public for what you do in private, and so remember that also, like if you’re thinking about somebody else, and maybe you know somebody else joined around the same time you did, but they got promotion before you did right. Be careful that you don’t get envious of that right.
Make sure that you that you cheer them on that you root them on, and be happy for them, but also know that they got recognized in public for what they did in private. So
if you didn’t get there before they did, maybe they just worked more than you, and you never know. And sometimes, you know, people do get lucky somebody. They sign up someone else, and that person goes to town, and that’s great. We all want that right.
But still the more you work, and the more you share it with other people, the more you do. The demos and you patch other people, and they see that the difference in that balance test
the more results you’re going to have. And so just remember that you know it’s always the work that’s behind the scenes that’s going on, but successfully. It’s clues, and so you can all always ask successful people what they’re doing. Most times people will share it with you.
and so be careful if you ask somebody, and they’re immediately like Oh, yes, that’s what I teach in my coaching class. Blah blah blah blah, and they invite you to some program or whatever to pay for. I I coach for a living also. So you know, I believe in that kind of stuff. But I also don’t like for this, for you guys on my team. I coach You guys for free. I don’t charge for my team for anything.
Be careful that somebody is just trying to pitch you on something on selling something, too, so but you can always ask people what they do to become successful like.
Give me 5 tips of what you did to get to this level and create something of value every day on your social media. So do like, I said before. Do a a post of a great testimonial and do it on all your social media channel. Find a picture, create a picture. Add that with your post. If you want to make different ones in different ways and add it to all your channel, you can turn a picture into a video to add it onto your tik Tok: I haven’t figured out how to do that yet, but but I know some people do that so different things you can do to to create different things, and some people like some people, might see a post on your wall. But some people might be the ones that watch all the stories, so do a little bit of both. So that way. Different people that that look at different ways. You might reach someone else.
every day go to the instant results Testimonial group, read a couple of testimonials, invite a few people just hit, invite, and add a couple of your friends on your friend list, I try to add, like 5 a day every single day and so some people will join it just because some people, you know they they won’t, either. So it it doesn’t matter. Just just hit 5 a day, and but then go Add people to your friendless every day go to different groups where you have mutual things in common, like, you know, like for me homeschool mom, which I don’t have my kids in school anymore. But I’ve been in several of those Christian moms. Christian women, If you knit, you know, join some knitting groups.
We have the the Spyder Riders Motorcycle Group. We don’t have one yet, but my husband’s looking at one of those. So I joined a couple of those groups.
So think about different words where you have common interests or hobbies and join a few different groups and the same thing. Don’t, you know i’m not. I don’t ever advocate, you know, spending half your life on social media. But go in there and read a few things like comments,, add them as a friend, and then, once they’re on your friend list, they’re gonna start seeing your testimonials on your page.
so it’s just a way to add to your friendless to get that engagement up and to expand your reach.
like I said, add, add a post to your social media to get people engaged. It could be like anything like ask a question like a lot of times. People do you know different weird questions, and so like we had a comment earlier today on another call I was on, and somebody made comment about a cassette tape and somebody else obviously a lot younger Asked what that was. and So ask a question on your social media. You know who remembers what a cassette tape is, or who remember what remembers what a Rolodex is right. Most the kids nowadays would have no idea what a Rolodex is
But but if you ask a question and you get people to comment below it. It increases your algorithm. So that’s the thing that you’re wanting to get on Facebook Instagram tic tok Linkedin. You want to get people engaged, and to quote the answer, question or comment.
post a selfie? You know most most women that post selfies, you know. Then all your friends are going to support you, and they’re going to say, oh. oh, gorgeous! And whatever oh, I love that top, whatever, but that increases your your engagement. So then, when you do post those testimonials.
then that will end up showing up more as well.
Post a few picture of the kids, the grandkid, one of your animal, post a cute motivational quote that you find the same thing. You just you want others to engage on your social media. you want to also like comments on other people’s social media, too. So I said this earlier. But just take like 5 min every day, and to scroll down, and just like on a bunch of things, or love on a bunch of things, comment on a few things because the more you do it on other people, then other people are going to reciprocate that, and they’re gonna do it on yours, and that’s gonna it boost your engagement. So then, when you do do like those testimonial posts or things like that, it’s gonna reach more people.
also set timers, if you need to, you know. So I know that the social media trap can be a trap for some people. So set timers if you need to. I used to do that all the time. I would set 5, 1015 min timers all day long, until I got pretty consistent with with setting times for myself on things automatically and then start other conversations with other people. So keep track of where you talk to people and who you talk to keep a list. So you remember to follow up Did you see someone post about being in pain? Reach out to them and let them know that you found something incredible And but then keep a list of who you talk to, and where you talk to them on like what platform, but that way you could follow back up with them at least once a week and say different things like, hey? I just saw this testimonial. I just want to follow back up with you. I know you asked about the patches I noticed you hadn’t ordered yet, or whatever just checking in with you see, if you have any other question, or I saw this testimonial, and I thought of you, so I wanted to share it with you.
Whatever it’s. Fortune is in the follow up right? So you want to always follow up with people and then make sure you’re getting on The group Call, the team calls, the corporate calls the same thing I don’t want. I don’t want to take up everybody’s every single night of the week. and so that’s why I put like our 2 Monday night calls right back to back.
But and then Tuesday night the opportunity call. But try to be on as many of them as you can, and engage on them, because when you’re closer to the fire you stay warmer right When you ever go to a fire pit, you know or a bonfire. The closer you are to the fire you stay warmer. The more you listen, the more you engage, the more you get involved, the more you’re going to learn, and the more that you learn the better that you’re going to do.
also your your customers, and your reps. Make sure that you follow up with them, too, just because Oh, they signed up. I don’t have to talk to them anymore. Right? Go on to the next people. No, no, no, no! You want to follow back up with people. Check in with them. Make sure that they did. If they’re not local, make sure that they did the balance test as soon as they get their order. Ask them how they felt on it. Check in with them. How they, you know. Tell, make sure to tell them where 24 h.
: and put it. Put a new one on right at the end of the 24 h, and we that consistently, and see how they’re feeling. and so always always follow back up with them and check in on them so that way. They always know that they’ve got your support for me. You know everyone on my team. I send out an email whenever someone joins our team, letting them know about our group and has
I give out my personal cell phone number. My email people can always message me on Facebook, linkedin Instagram tick to wherever you can find me. You can always send me a message.
so you can also always do. You know, 3 way calls with me can do 3 late text. A lot of people do that or 3 way messages on messenger. you know. Of course, as our group get bigger I get busier, but i’m always here for everybody. So you know, always know that I’m here for you. If you ever want me to help you to answer someone. If you have any other questions.
Make sure your team knows that, too, that it’s not just it’s not just you right. You’ve got a team that’s supporting you, and if I don’t know the answer, I go to Steve.
And so and many of you know that, too, that you know the e, or even if I do know the answer, but or I think I know the answer, I might give you that. But then I go to see even I find out to clarify it or to corporate. I’ve gone directly to J. I have this information, too, and so you know it’s just, and that’s that’s my line is me, and then Steve, and then the company. So you know we are close to the top. We are one of the biggest, strongest teams in the company. And so I want to keep us that way and to keep growing, and so we can all do better. And so one other huge thing is personally develop every day.
So this is probably like one of my number One things for success and and all my years of networking, and is one. I heard this a long time ago. Leaders our readers.
It’s not just a statement. Make sure that you’re reading every day. If you don’t have time to read a lot. Don’t worry about it the same thing. I’m not trying to schedule all your time throughout the day but you know, like, if nothing else keep a book in the bathroom, and when you’re in there a couple of times a day. 3 for 5 min right. But but, like i’m, not one of those people I’ve probably read One year I read over a 100 books in a year, and i’m not one of those people that can sit down with a good book and read for 2 h.
I I get distracted. I I get bored so I read one or 2 pages like literally 5 to 10 min top at a time. I’ll have. Normally, I’ll have 2 or 3 books on my desk at a time that i’m reading in the middle of because I the same thing, because I like to read on different things. But but do do that, and if you do that even 5 to 10 min a day every day. Then you’re gonna have a couple of books read throughout the year. You can ask me for recommendations. If you want some, You can also look for motivational podcasts on on on your podcast channel. You can also look on Youtube, and so you can just find different things like I used to on Youtube. There’s one called Motiversity, so like University and motivate together. and I would do that when I would be at the at the gym on the elliptical whenever I drive. I’m always listening to some sort of training. So I have, you know
that’s the cool thing with our phones, and you know we have access to just about anything anytime nowadays. I look up different podcasts on business, and i’m listening to some sort of training every single day when I drive.
and then the last thing is, Take time for your health every day. So, even if you make sense of money, even if you make it really big in the company. If you’re not healthy, then you’re not going to be happy, so try to eat a little bit more of the right foods. Try to move your body a little bit every day. You know you don’t have the same thing. You don’t have to be die hard in the gym all the time, like my body Builder son is. But you know you could do things and add things in little pocket.
One thing I’ve read that I started implementing a couple of months ago was every day when you get up in the morning and you brush your teeth, then do 5 push ups just pushing in on the calendar of the bathroom and so before bed, do 5 to 10 deep breath in deep through your nose, out deep through your mouth that will help you to relax and help you to go to sleep. Better so those that are just a few tips on that. And so i’m going to stop the recording right now.

Testimonial from Erika – #headache #heart
My family doctor said to take suvexx as soon as the first sign of a headache/migraine appears. On the first page of the description of this medicine, it is stated that the first side effect is that it may cause heart-related problems……….
(My mom passed away because of heart-related problems, which is in my family history).
So at the first sign of a migraine, I remembered that I had something which would not cause any side effects.
I used this patch to ease my migraine for the first time yesterday. Even though I have been using its siblings (other patches) for other reasons with excellent results, I was skeptical but deep in my heart, I knew I could count on its power, and today was the day to put it to the test on myself.
When I use medication for the migraine, it takes at least 4-5 hours for it to take effect.
Not to mention that it will be hard on my liver and create all kinds of side effects…
This little miracle only took approximately 30 minutes to make me forget my pain. #FreedomPatch
All right, everyone. We are going to go ahead and get started. So my name is Laurie Delk Radecki, and we do training each week here. And so tonight i’m going to talk about one of the biggest things for having benefits for having an at home based Business is all the things that you can write off, all the things that you can save on your taxes. And so i’m just going to go over a few different points of ideas of what you can write off, what you can keep track of, and the type of money you can save.
So if you don’t have a home based business, you’re missing out on all these tax deductions. So that’s one huge thing. Reason and benefit of why you want to start a any type of home based business.
the first one, of course, is keep track of everything.
For example, if you’re buying paper for your office, save the receipt I use, quicken to keep track of all my transactions, and I can put them in different categories, and I can organize them.
You can put them for, if you drive to the store for your meetings, you want to save those. If you’re buying lunches with your team or having lunches with prospects or hotels, anything that can be used in your business. You can keep track of it. You can use it as a deduction and claim it off your taxes, so you don’t have to pay as much in taxes.
So another thing is to write off your workspace – so like here you can see i’m in my office here, so I have a dedicated workspace, but I don’t have to sit in my office all the time right because I have a laptop. I can sit wherever I want, and a lot of people Don’t have a dedicated workspace, and that’s fine, too. You can still write off a percent of your home, even if it’s not a dedicated workspace.
You just have to figure out what that percentage is compared to your house, and you want to save that. whatever that is, it can be up to 300 square feet, so it can’t be more than that. But and of course always i’m not a tax accountant, so you always check with your tax accountant it for you know the rules for your State or your area, or whatever. But you can also write off that same amount of percentage for utilities & insurance & your mortgage.
All those things you can write off.
You can write off those for utilities and for any other type of deductions and your office space.
The next one is for updating your equipment. So you always want to update your equipment like you could think about a lot of times. People say I don’t want to spend the money on a new laptop or whatever your office furniture, software for your computer anything can be a 100% deduction the year it’s acquired. And so there’s no reason to not update things. You want to get things updated and have them because you can write them off on your business.
another thing you can do to write off on your taxes is to save for retirement, so you can save money towards your retirement. You can write off the contributions to
to your to your retirement. You can write those off also, as you’re saving them and saving for your retirement.
Another thing is talking to clients. So when you’re talking to clients you can write off a percent of your phone. If you talk to clients on it. So i’m on my phone almost all day with clients. And so you can write off a percent of that to your clients as well.
So then also like your Internet, if you use it in your business, you can also write your Internet off. So figure out a percent that your devices that you use for your Internet in your business and think about the cost versus the business and your household versus the business and you can deduct that accordingly. And so you just want to think about like how many devices you have on the Internet. So you know, you might have your like. I have my desk in my office, and then I have my phone, and then I have my laptop. But then we also have the TV. So that’s all personal, You know. My husband has a phone, and my husband has a laptop. So you want to think about all the things, and then you can only do that to percentage portion of that.
Then like lunches and dinners. So if you take a client out to eat, or even if you just pay for yourself. But you’re talking about business. You’re meeting people. So if you go to like networking lunch, you can write that off for business. If you if you meet people for a one on one after the luncheons, to get to know people and talk to them about your business, you could write those off. If you take your team out to dinner, you can write that off.
Then also like business trips. So anywhere you go you could write that off, so a 100% of travel expenses can be wrote off there. Those are deductible, and then about 50% normally on meals. Same thing. I’m not a tax accountant, so you always want to check with your tax professional on that. But you want to keep your receipts. You want to make sure that you’re keeping track of all your expenses and all your receipts and so but anything on travel expenses. So your flight, your mileage on the car, your
your food while you’re eating out on your business trip, so like we have an event in Orlando, Florida next month. I plan to fly down. I’ll be staying in a hotel.
and so we can stay an extra day and go to the beach. Now that part you can’t write off, but you can write off because I flew down there for the event, so I can write that off. I can right off staying in the hotel.
So you want to think of those things. So whenever you have business trips, or even if you want to take a vacation turn it into a business trip, do business while you’re on the trip and, like I tell a lot of times. My team, you know, have an event in your area. Invite 20 people into the room, and i’ll fly out and or drive out and come speak there for you, and I can write that off on business, and we get to take a little mini vacation with it. So it’s a neat way. You can do that. I used to do that with my kids as they were growing up. I would always have them fly with me on my business trips, or we would drive and we would always stay an extra day or 2 to do different things. And but then that was wrote off on business, too.
So and then the last thing is, employ your family so you can deduct their salaries. I used to give my kids things to do. I trained them on doing different things for me, my youngest daughter. I didn’t even start texting until she was 18. She always had my phone, and she would read me what the text would say, and I would answer her. And because the kids, of course, could type way faster than I could.
but employ your family. You can deduct their salaries and the cool thing is, kids under 17. They don’t have. They don’t incur those social security taxes, and yet you can also teach them to save. You can teach them to save money every month, and even before you know they’re of age to go work at a business. You can be employing them and and giving them things to do to help you.
I still have My daughter helps me to to this day going to different events, and she will run the signing table for me, or she will do camera videos for me. I teach her all those different things, and then I can pay her to do those things. That’s a tax. Write off.
So those are a few of the things for ideas on writing stuff off on taxes. I’m. Going to go ahead and stop the recording and open it up for our live Q. A.
