Building2Millions: Getting new members

Getting new members

Getting new members can be difficult for any organization, especially during economic times. When the money is "short", we will all drop out things that we perceive "not important enough" to pay the money to. Membership is one of them.

Time to do a club analysis!

1. Does your club add VALUE to a person's life? Is it worth the money to be there?

People will pay for added value in their life. Have speakers worth listening to. Make sure

that each person is made to feel important. People do not join because they want to give

away their time and money - they join to add value to their life either by giving or serving

or they need friends, connections. Do you know why your members are there? Meet the

need!

2. Does your club have FUN?

When our lives are full of stress, laughing is the best medicine! Laughing has even been

proven to "heal"!! Your meeting should be an "escape" from daily routines and should

give members a "great time". They should feel so good about the meeting that they will

go out and tell others and bring them to the meeting!

3. Does your club give everyone a chance to serve?

You may have members that want to serve - maybe in administration - are you allowing

this or are the same ones doing all the work? Get people involved -- allow them to shine!

Take pictures and put them in the local newspaper - let your members be heroes!

Let's close the back door (those members leaving) by allowing them to feel good about themselves, giving them opportunities to serve in their desired capacity, sharing their stories with others. Let's open the front door by having so much FUN AND VALUE that people want and need to be there with you!

More than ever before - service organizations are needed. I just happen to be a Kiwanian. There are many others. I have been blessed to actually see the difference that is made in a community because someone cared - someone served!

Let's all reach out to communities all over the world - let's get involved - let's make a difference - let's touch lives.

Our future really is in our hands - we can choose to participate in the negative - or we can choose to participate and live in the positive.

My wish for you is that you will see the need and share the service!

Blessings,

Linda

A Great Primary Business!

Are you looking for a valuable service? This is also a great primary business!

Check out: www.prepaidlegal.com/hub/lindachristiano (This is my outside the home career). Then check out: http://www.newrichreport.com/b2mlinda (this is my internet business). And then: http://www.ppl.blastoffnetwork.com/lindac This is my FUN site - free to join - and I shop here!! Watch the video on this one - you will love it!

I wanted something to offer people that was a great service! As I worked with families, I found that over 70% do not have any life event planning done. They were worried about their credit and credit scores. They were bombarded on the internet credit reporting companies. And many have had good reasons to contact an attorney for help, but due to costs, decided to take the risks.

In checking out this company, I found that they have been in business for over 37 years. They are solid!

You can go on this site and get lots of information as to who they are and what they are doing. I did join - not only for the service, but as a person that can offer this service to my clients.

Check this out and see for yourself. No matter where you live - you can do this for your family - and, then, offer this service to friends and family everywhere!

You will be glad you did!

Keep Learning!

Keep a positive mential attitude. I know sometimes that is hard. But it is so important.

Everyone has energy. Either that energy is negative or it is positive. If you are a positive person - and you are talking to a negative person, you may end up feeling "drained", "tired", "depressed". The reason is that someone "stole" your energy! And what is worse, is that because they are negative, you weren't able to gain energy from them.

We trade energy! Ever been in a crowd or talking to someone of likeness to you - and you both walk away "pumped", excited? There was a trade of energy. That is why it is so very important to hang out with people that are positive. Those are the ones that will support you and encourage you, and even congratulate you on your accomplishments!

Find a buddy that will help keep you positive and motivated. Then, when you need a shot of good positive input, words of wisdom, encouragement, you can call you buddy! I need to be in the right frame of mind when working with people. I need to feel good in order to market, whether online or on the road. I have contacted my buddy and said "I need an attitude adjustment - got anything for me!" And I am up and running! This empowers me!

Remember - you will ATTRACT negative or positive to you - we are magnets - what ever we concentrate on, we will draw. Get rid of the negative. If you feel it, dump it, fast! We have both in our lives everyday - you can choose each day which one you are going to attract!

My best to each of you as you travel these roads!

What is Next?

The hardest step of all, is the sincere - committed - step of "DECISION". The decision to DO IT!

Those that succeed are those that stayed with it. Yes, you will have frustrations and changes. Tweeking here and tweeking there. But, by staying with it, you will succeed! Remember - Gold is purified by fire. You are no different! In order to succeed you have to be willing to 1) Make the decision to do it, 2) Make out a plan and maybe tweek your plan, 3) Don't take NO for an answer - stay with it - stay away from those that say it can't be done, and, 4) listen to the ones that are there! The ones at the top can help - not the ones that have decided to quit! The ones that are still in there - plugging away each day - those are the ones you want to listen to!
