Laurie's Lessons

What Separates You From Others

Hey, hey, everyone! Good evening. This is Laurie Delk Radecki, and I’m going to talk to you tonight about what separates you from others like.
how is it at when you’re working your business like? Are you going for it? Do you have like a lot of hustle? Do you have motivation?
And then also, do you have heart? Do you have love? Do you connect with people?
So? You know women are very emotional creatures, and many times people say
you need to hustle, you need to move to get to the things that you want. and although I totally agree with that. I also
say that you need to remember to put your heart into it like what is the best thing for them like? Not you like not. What do you need to get to your next promotion. You always want to know that, and you always want to be looking at that.
But as far as helping someone else to figure out what they should get.
You need to look at what’s in it best for them. What products do they need, or what service do they need? That’s gonna fit them best.
And what does your intuition tell you right like? Think about that like a lot of times. You know, we have that still, small voice in the back of our head.
and it tells us things right. And so a lot of times that comes from your heart also, and you want to stick with that? Not just, you know, the same thing. What do you need to get
to the next thing that you want to get? And so how do you want to help them?
You want to help them by selling from your heart, so to speak. you should still hustle. You should still push every day, you should still try to move fast.
you should push forward, but think about it at the same time.
How can I help this person? How can I serve this person
right? Pull that from your heart. So good things come to people
who work hard and who work fast and who hustle.
but also have heart, and truly want to help others from their heart. And so, you know, you want somebody that that loves you and cares for you, and wants
your best for you. And so that’s what you need to show to your people, too. And so for you go back to your why
think about like, why are you doing this business? You have to have that heart, and you have to have that passion. And so you also do have to have the hustle and the push forward and to move.
But you have to take care of yourself. If you don’t take care of yourself, you can’t help other people right like they say in the airlines, you know. Put on the mask for yourself before you try to help someone else.
You can’t pour from an empty cup.
So go back to your why like what is your why, and then write that down, and then ask yourself why of that paragraph. and then ask yourself why of that previous paragraph, and ask yourself why of that previous paragraph? Find, like your core reasons of why you’re doing this business
and ask your people that, too, and get to know your people.
and that way you end up caring for them. You end up loving them enough to help them to get to their next level of what they want.
And you know you, you want to help your people excel. You don’t want to do it for them, but you want to help them excel. See what they need to get to that next level to
push them forward to motivate them and to help them, maybe think outside the box.
Different people, you know. That’s why people hire coaches all the time, because a lot of times someone
on the outside that’s not so involved can see a little bit more. And that’s what you can do for your team, too, and for your customers, your team members.
But talk to them, find out what they want, find out what is their why.
figure out how you can help them.
but get to know them, get to know your people. When you put your love in your care and your heart into your team, they’re gonna be there for you, and they’re gonna help you when you need it to like.
You need to buy some more products. Have more volume on your team for you to get that next promotion right? Your team is going to be there for you to help you out if they can. Obviously right. But
but when they feel that love and that care, and you’re using your heart to help them.
It makes a huge difference, and people stay with you and so make sure to get to know your people. Make sure to get to know your leaders, make sure to get to know
everybody of what they want and why they’re in the business. And
the same thing. Figure out how you can help each other, get to the levels, into the to the different parts in the company that you want to get to. And
that way you excel together, and you grow together, and you build together.
and when people feel your heart
they’re going to stay by you, they’re not going to leave
to go chase another rainbow somewhere else. Right? They’re gonna especially, of course, if you have good product or good service, or whatever. Right then then they’re gonna stay with you, and they’re gonna stick with you also. And so you want to make sure to remember that. And still, like, I said, still build fast, still talk to more people. The more you talk to people, the more faster you’re going to grow right, the more knows you’re going to get, but also the more yeses you’re going to get.
But as you get to know your people and you grow your people together with you.
then, like, they say together, everyone achieves more. Right? You’re all going to achieve more, and you’re all going to get better. So make sure to use your heart
and make sure to use your head both and move forward and go get them. Let me know how what you think of this below this video. Thanks. Everyone.

Laurie’s Lessons Coaching & training – What if You’re wanting to give up?

Hey, everyone, this is Laurie Delk Radecki
I’m gonna talk to you and train tonight on what if you’re thinking of giving up? I want you to just dream a little bit.
I’ve helped thousands of women get to 500 a month, a thousand a month, 5,000 a month, 10,000 a month and more. And I’ve been in the network marketing
arena for about 35 years and top of several different companies. And I just want to help you to think about, no matter what company you’re in.

But of course, especially if you’re in my company on my team. But think about like the what ifs that would happen like?
What if I could make 5,000 a month? What if I could make 10,000 a month? What if I could make 15,000 a month.
Just think, What IF?
25 times fill up a WHOLE piece of paper
I want you to screenshot it. Now I want you to email it to me at LaurieDelk@gmail.com

But I want you to write out the whole page, and I want you to think about it, and I want you to read it every day from now on to you start realizing some of those things because the thing is, once you start thinking about it. Your mind goes to figure out the how right.

So you also want to think about it. And you want to think about things in detail. You want to think about it till you believe it, because when you believe it, you can achieve it.

And so 25 things, I want you to fill up that page, and I want you to send it to me. Text it to me or email it to me,
get your list out, though, and I want to help you go on this journey so you can realize it. And so you can see how your life can change.

how my life changed when I hit those numbers and achieve those things for me and for my children and my family, and how it made a difference, and it can for you, too, if you just focus. And if you just think about it, and if you push yourself.

and so there’s a lot of things to do. And of course, you know the affirmations and attracting people and signing up people and personal development is huge. But this is very huge. And so I want you to do it. If you are on my team especially, I want everyone on my team doing this and sending it to me
right out. What if so, here’s a couple of others like, what if I could help 10 women make $500 a month?

What if I can help
100 women make $500 a month. What if I could help a thousand women make just $500 a month?
They say that most people that file bankruptcy. They wouldn’t have had to file if they just found a way to make 3 to $500 a month extra.
What if I could buy the car. My dreams right out what your dream car is. See it, feel it, believe it, smell it.
detail in detail what all you have on it.
What if I could pay off my mom’s mortgage or buy my mom a house like? How many of your moms did something great for you.
even if they did nothing else but let you be born right. But what if
you know a lot of people want to do things for their mom? What if you could do that for your mom.
What if you could put your kids in the best school that you want them to go in right, no matter what school it is. What if you could put them in the best school
right out once again, 25 things on paper, email them or text them to me. I want to see them. I want to save them for you. for when you do achieve it, because then we’re going to do another call.
But you know you get in life what you want
when you help other people get what they want.
That’s a quote from my favorite speaker and trainer, Zig Ziglar, who’s passed away, but I had the blessing of seeing him live in person
over a hundred times. I mean, he’s that good. If you look look up online any books by him. I highly recommend you read them.
but the thing is when you help other people. That’s when you make the magic happen.
visualize what it is that you believe, and that you want to achieve
to where you end up believing it. And, like I said, visualize it, see it in detail.
And then another huge thing is, get to any events that you can fly to them. Drive to them. One of my rules was always.
if they’re within a 5 to 10 h drive, I drive to them.
Now I fly a lot more. I so I say, if they’re within a 2 to 3 h drive. I drive to them. After that I usually fly, but back. When I was trying to save money I would drive to them. I would drive up to 10 h because it was cheaper on gas nowadays. Guess, isn’t that cheap? But so you could just decide. But or make make a rule for yourself.
you know. Maybe not 10 h, maybe do 5 h. If it’s within a 5 h drive that you’re gonna go to it.
watch for the sales on airlines, too, because a lot of times that can happen I used to for my first events. Before I could afford to do it, I would
cram 4 to 6 to 8 women in a hotel room.
and we would all cram in there to say just to save money, we would pack protein bars and snacks and things, so I wouldn’t have to spend money while I was traveling.
So there’s all kinds of things you can do to get to events and still save money.
But your life changes when you go to events.
even if they do them live stream or they record them. It. It’s still it just. I promise you it changes. It’s totally different when you’re there in person and
a lot of times it’s you can. It’s the meeting after the meeting or before the meeting, and so, like, we are going to and meet a meeting this coming weekend in Orlando, Florida, with my company and we are flying in Friday, and we are staying till Sunday, the meeting Saturday morning, and that’s it. And so we’re definitely going, and we are going to
be there. We’re gonna meet other people. We’re gonna visit with other people. We’re gonna visit with the top leaders in the company. And our CEO. So always do whatever you can to get to those meetings.
and we’ll talk to you next week. Everyone. Thanks for hopping on.

Build Your Business

So if you want to build your business, There’s things that you have to do to be consistent to go through things, you know, like for me. you know, I started in this industry 35 years ago. I didn’t plan to ever make as much money as I do now, or be the top leader of now. My third network marketing company. that I’ve made the top leader ranks in

When I started out I wanted to make an extra 50 to $100 a month just to have some extra money. So I wasn’t using my husband’s money to buy his own birthday gifts right?

So that leading to where I’m at now. And being in the top 10 of 3 different network marketing companies now, and speaking on stages and training all over the world. It’s just…. I didn’t plan that right. But that’s what ended up happening. And but it’s a good life. It’s not going to happen like in the next 2 weeks, or anything, but it can happen in like the next year or 2 if you want to, and if you want to get busy. And so the thing is, you do have to work it right? So like they say it’s network marketing, right? It’s not net wish marketing, not net. Want marketing. Right? It’s network marketing. So you do have to work. So be careful of those companies or people that say, Oh, just sign up, and the money just flows in, because that never happens. So that’s either a scam, or you know, they’re just lying to you to get you to sign up, and so I like to be honest with my people. I like to teach and train. But But what if you do work it? You can make the money, and you can be successful. And everybody’s definition of success is different, too. Right like for me back then, 35 years ago my definition of success was making it an extra 50 to $100 a month, you know.

now, my goals are a lot higher than that, and they’re in the 5 figures a month. So but you know you can. You can work to get higher. But the biggest thing is being consistent, so the more consistent you are, the better you’re going to be. Period. The more you talk about it. The more presentation to you do, the better you’re gonna get. And and the more people you’re going to sign up, the more you know, that’s one huge difference between any of the top leaders in any company. It doesn’t even matter where they’re at is they’re still the same as everybody else.

They’ve just done more. more more samples. They’ve talked more people.

with our company. They’ve done the balance test more. But that’s it. So it’s it’s just talking to more people. So the more people you talk to, the more nodes you’re going to get, but also at the same time, the more yes, you’re going to get.
one challenge that I have for everyone listening to this is just be like, they say, ignorance on fire.

So people buy from your energy. They buy from your excitement, they buy from your passion. So if you are not excited about your company or your product, then you know they’re not going to be excited to join either. Right? And you don’t have to sit there and read every single thing, and know every single thing about the whole company the Comp. Plan, this, that everything else like you should get to learn those things, but not before you go to work, not before you start talking to people, because the more you talk to people, and the more that they see your excitement and your energy about it, the more likely that they will sign up.

So when you get busy and not worry about doing all those other things. you know, people are gonna pay attention and your passion sells. And so the more passionate you sound, the more that you’re going to sell
had them on Youtube? you know, do a video on Tik tok, you know, wherever you want to play, or all those places. But the thing is the people they see your passion, they see your energy. And you know, in especially in videos, and they see your eyeballs. I think that’s one of the huge things right is because your eyes are the window to the soul. And if people can’t see your eyes.

Then they’ll be a little bit more leery, right? So you can talk to people on the phone. But video is always even better.
you know, sometimes you can answer people back if they message you with the video message, or you could just say, Hey, when do you have time to hop on a zoom for 5 min, you know, or even message people, and you know, if you see, like their active status.
if it says that they’re active. Message them and say, Hey, can you hop on a zoom or on a a face time, you know, just for 2 min.
and then also share different testimonials, so especially testimonials that are exciting for testimonials that have the same issue that that they have, that you’ve seen, or that they’ve told you about.
And then the next thing to do is know what you want. So one, I believe, creating a vision board is huge. I’ve created tons of them. A lot of people say, and honestly, I did at the beginning, too, that oh, that’s silly! That’s just a little silly step.
but it’s not silly, and several things that have I’ve had on my vision. Boards
have come to fruition.
So I know they work.
so create your vision board. you can create it on paper like poster board, just like in school, you can create a digital one and have it as your desktop background. You can create one on your Instagram and have different pictures, and then you have your

like 8 or 9 little squares or 12 squares, and then screenshot that, and make that your background on your phone. Every time you look at your phone, you see your
your vision board of 9 or 12 different things that you want to do or achieve.
but just keep that where it’s in front of you all the time. If you have an office or in your bathroom, and one of my other houses I had. I am statements, and I would printed them out, and then I cut them, and I take them on my bathroom wall
my bathroom mirror. Sorry! And so, when I would be getting ready every day.
I would read my I am statements to myself out loud
in the bathroom.

and it’s huge when you say those over and over and over right out your goals and your dreams, and

you know, have big dreams right, because if you shoot for the stars, even if you land upon sky right, that’s still higher than you are. Now, right? So

think about what all you want and think like, what if.
like, what if it does actually work?

What will you do like if you start making
$500 a month?

Or if you start making $5,000 a month.

or if you start making $10,000 a month.
or even $50,000 a month, right? What will you do? How will that change your life
right? And what if write down like? What if I get to fly first class
and not worry about how much it’s costing.

What if I get to get my dream car that I’ve always wanted?
And I can order it online and pick up the color, you know, the first time I got to do that I was so excited that I literally got to pick out what I wanted. I clicked all the little buttons of exactly what I wanted on it, and It was one of my expeditions. I bought several of those, but

but the first time I got to do that the first time I could afford to do that. That was so exciting. Think about that.
What if you get to put your kids or your grandkids like. We have 2 grand babies now, and we want them in the best schools
right?
think about
those. What ifs write them down like, Get out a sheet of paper. There’s usually about 25 lines on a sheet of paper.
and right out your what ifs
fill up that page
and keep that, and look at that every day
and think about, you know, putting yourself first like a lot of times, you know, on your. What if you say just like I just said you know about if I could put my grandkids in the best school right, but also make sure you put yourself on that list, you put things for yourself first, right? There’s the reason that the airline say, put the mask on yourself first before you help someone else right?
Because you can’t take care of other people. All those other people that you want to take care of in your life. You can’t take care of them if you don’t take care of you.
And so put the
put your things on your Google Calendar also. This is huge. This is probably like one of the number one things that I’ve done in my business to help me is, I put everything.
every single thing on my calendar, no matter what it goes on. My calendar

one I never screw up, and I’m never late to things or I never miss things. Oh, I forgot.
If it’s personal or business. It goes on my calendar. But 2, you can change the colors on the Google Calendar. Then it sync with your phone, you can have reminders. But then you can look at your calendar quickly over the month or the week and see where you’re missing things

so like if you’re missing, you don’t have enough appointments talking to other people. If you’re missing that, you know, like I put on when I post on Facebook, I put on when I scroll Facebook and connect with other people to build relationships.

I put everything on my calendar and so.
and putting it on your calendar also helps you to be accountable not only to yourself, but also if you have an accountability, partner.

but you need to be putting your time in. If you want to work your business right

and doing it every single week.

and so make sure you’re meeting new people every day, whether that’s in person or online. I remember Jim Rowan. He taught way back when on cassette tapes that, and he would say, Put 2 pennies in your right pocket.

and but you can’t go home that night to. You. Have your 2 pennies in the left pocket, and each time you talk to somebody new about the business, that’s when you move the penny to the other pocket

and so or meet somebody new. So you could do it either way. So and you could do that.

you could do that even for online, you could still have your pennies in your pocket. Nobody sees it but you still. And you go online. And you look for somebody to in different groups that you’re in for you to get to know and start talking and making up a conversation with someone, you know. However, you want to do it, but keep track of it.

Make sure that you’re following up also with people every day. So like they say fortune is in the follow up. There’s a that, and I’ve put it in our group. I know But where
it’s like, you know, 80% of sign ups happen on the seventh to the tenth follow up. Right?
People are busy, right? You know how busy you are and like, think about. think about all those websites. You know that you put in your favorites because you want to go back to one day.

and you’ve never went back to them right?
But and you did it. You want to go back to them. Right? You put it in your favorites

and you didn’t, because you’re busy. So that’s how everybody else is, too. So make sure you follow back up with people

where you talk to people at and what their name is, and keep a list, and when they signed up as a customer distributor whatever, and make notes of whatever ailments or whatever they told you about it.
why, they’re interested, but then make sure you follow back up. So then you can follow up with like, if you find testimonials that will help them, or if you see something else
that you can follow up to

bring the conversation back to the front, you know, back to the forefront. But make sure you follow up

and then make sure you’re also reconnecting with people that you’ve met in the past every single day. So even like I said, even if you do it online on Facebook, you know, of course, that’s really good for it. Instagram Linkedin, you know, emails texting.

But keep track and keep building those relationships, even if it’s not for business, but keep building relationships with people and nurturing that relationship right? Because when you don’t talk to somebody for 10 years. And then all of a sudden, it’s like.
Hey, how you doing? I gosh! I haven’t seen you in so long, you know. I got this new opportunity. Blah blah blah blah blah, and they tune the rest of it out right, because that’s the only time you ever talk to them right like I’m sure I know I have some people like this that they only call me.

or private message me to follow up when they’ve joined a new company. and so don’t be that person connect with people at different times. One huge way I like to do is.
I say, happy birthday to everybody on messenger. Every day that comes up on my Facebook.

And so that’s not huge. But that makes it where I’m at least talking to everybody at least once a year. I also download my Facebook contacts, and I go through a couple of those every day.

And just I go to their page. I like something I read something. I might comment on something, and I might message them something. But that way, because you know the Facebook algorithms, they always change things. And who knows who you get to see when you get to see it. You know I don’t want to leave that to Facebook. I want to make sure that I keep my relationships up and keep them up to date.

And so there’s a quote that I heard one time it says there’s no freed and your lack of discipline. So when you’re disciplined, your life is fun because you’ve got it planned out, and you’ve got everything has a place. So you know, like I said before, putting everything on your calendar, no matter what, whether it’s personal or business, because then you can keep track

if you’re afraid of Also like if you’re afraid of getting more money. So some people have that fear.

Some people think that you know the root of all the root of money is evil, and but it’s not. It’s the love of the money. But the thing is, you know, there’s nothing bad with money and people that get more money
it just whatever they are on their insides, like your integrity and your character.

the more money you get, whatever that
of what you have on the inside
magnified. And so if you’re really a good person, you’re gonna do more with that money
right? And so, like one of the things I do is, I have these cards with these cute poems that I send to myself, and I keep a couple of my purse all the time, and when we go out to restaurants, and
I just kind of let God tell me. and a lot of times I will pay my bill. I’ll leave a good tip. and then I’ll take a $20 bill out of my wallet, or a hundred dollar bill, and whatever I decide at that
time, and I’ll stick it in one of those cards, and I’ll just leave it on the table. And so and I tip really well, anyway. But it’s just like one of those things that you can do extra. When you do have extra money you can help other people. And so, you know, there’s all kinds of things you can do. There’s all you know, a gazillion charities out there right. And there’s always people that need things that you can always do. So.
you know you can use your money for that if you want to, you can start a charity even. But the thing is.
you know, don’t. Don’t think that having money is going to make you a bad person, because that’s not true.
And then also don’t think that people are judging you.
So make that post make that video
talk to whoever you’ve been afraid to.
because the number one person that’s judging you is you? And so everyone else, they’re busy judging theirself, too.
So. And still, if they’re going to judge you, then
give them something to judge you for. Get busy, go to work, make a difference in people’s lives, and
you know the stories of success that you get
is going to help you. But it’s going to make a difference. And if those certain people are judging you for that.

Don’t worry about it, because you know that you’re out there helping people. So if you totally believe in your product or your service, or whatever you’re selling, then go out and tell other people right? Because why keep it to yourself.

So that is our training for today. If you like this. Share it with a friend. Drop a testimonial, and I’ll see you next week.

Did you fall down?

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!

#LauriesLessons

Are you an egg or a potato?

The same #boilingwater that #softens the #potato #hardens the #egg.

It’s about what you’re made of, not the #circumstances

What do you do when you go through the fire, or are put in the hot water?

Does your #heart become soft, and you get closer to #God, you see how God brought this into your life, for you to turn and help others, you #critique yourself, and see what you can change to better yourself, you have #empathy for what others have said or done to you, #forgive them, knowing that they need to work on themselves, and it is them, not you….

Does your heart become hard, you become #bitter about what others have said about you or done to you, you become #angry at God for allowing it to happen, say you have your own body/life you can do what you want, #ridicule others, choose to play the #victim mentality to stay #angry/mad/sad and live in that place….

Remember either way you choose, you can still #season with lots of #love and grace and become even more better in the end also!

#WeAllHaveChoices

Don’t be too pushy, or non-existent

LAURIE’s LESSONS — don’t lose a 10k sale!
Salespeople – If you ignore, or seem dis-interested in your clients, or if you hound them, either way, you will turn them off, and not get the sale.

The key is to be attentive, as they need it, stay close, but far enough to give space, but not say hi and be gone!

We went out w my husband shopping….plan was to buy something, and I know most are commission based……2 places lost out on an almost 10k sale.

One said hi as we walked in, nothing else after, we were in the place almost an hour, no checking on us, when we were ready to ask a question, everyone was at the other side of the place, a group on each end, but none near us, so we left and went to the next.

Another was overpowering, checking way too often, and offering things without asking what we were looking for, so offering things that were great, but nothing like what we wanted.

The final was perfect…greeting us, letting us walk, when they saw we stayed looking at one for a little longer, came back up, asked if we had any questions on that one, and what exactly we were looking for….

None of the 3 had what we wanted in stock, but because this one asked what we wanted, he found it on his phone and showed it to us, talked to us a little more on pros n cons of different ones, and talked about other options we had, acted like he cared about us and being happy w what we got, as well as the sale…..

……And he got the sale 🙂 It *pays* to be a GOOD salesperson and look out for your clients interests 🙂 #LauriesLessons
