“A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself.” Oprah Winfrey

Maria Gudelis has made her mark as a Real Estate Expert, Internet Marketing Guru and she is the Queen of Offline Consulting.  I think Maria is much more than any of those things.

Maria Gudelis is an Internet Marketing expert working both online (and offline) that you can trust…period.

“Trust” and “Internet Marketing” and “online expert” all in the same sentence may by something that you find hard to believe.  Well, I agree with you.  It is hard to find that combination in any one person.  Like you, have had my fair share of run ins with Internet Market “experts” that do no more than sell you a dream.

Maria is NOT one of those people.  Maria Gudelis helps you create your dream and walks beside you as you see it through to reality.  She “walks beside you” is the key point here.  Maria is out there in the trenches with you experiencing what works and what doesn’t and you benefit from all of her efforts.  You may have experienced the mentor that practices “missing piece marketing”.  The mentor that sells you the program that only works if you buy more, buy more and buy more!  Maria provides you with all the tools you need to get on that fast track to success and more providing you with all the pieces to the puzzle and she even helps you put it together!

I started with Maria in her first 14 Day Challenge, now transformed into the  incredible Ultimate Cash System just a few short months ago.  Since that time, my life has been transformed.  The information that Maria shares throughout the two week program gives you everything you need to go get your first client and make some serious cash right from the get go.  What is the best part about the Ultimate Cash System and Maria is that the system is rinse and repeat!  During the past few months I have collected checks ranging from $500 to $3000 and many in between.  In this video, you can get just a glimpse of my PayPal account…thank you Maria!

Trust. Finding a mentor that shares with you all the pieces of the puzzle and helps you to put it together is a mentor you can trust.  Maria is that mentor and that friend. When you join the “Maria Gudelis” tribe you also get a community that supports you all along your journey.  You will have access to the best of the best, JV partners, resources, brainstorming, mastermind partners and much, much more!

Maria Gudelis is that unique Internet Marketing Guru that you can trust and really see your dreams through to reality with.  Join me in Maria’s tribe of successful Offline Consultants today and see your dreams come true!

“Start by doing what is necessary; then do what is possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.”

— St. Francis of Assisi

I think I have heard  Jeff Herring say that quote at least a million times over the last year or so. The truth in that quote really hit home when my husband came home with those words scribbled on a napkin after seeing it on a wall.  I showed him that it was the same quote I have had written across my main White Board and look at every day.

If I have learned anything at all from Jeff Herring it is that the impossible is possible.

Know-Like -Trust

Looking at the Article Marketing Solution diagram while listening to a teleseminar with Jeff got it all started.  Since that point, I have written many articles, most for other people, but all have done their job by increasing traffic and helping to create a position of authority.  What you will find most unique about Jeff is that he is one of the few mentors that I have found using the KLT Factor in everything he does AND teaches how to use the know-like-trust factor as a tool  in article marketing.

What is most amazing is that Jeff leads by example and truly is someone that you can know-like and trust as an expert in his niche and as a person.

The “Everything Marketing” Guy

The best advice I have received and in turn give is this, “find someone successfully doing what you want to be doing and model them.” Jeff Herring is that someone that you can model after if you what to make money online and have a successful business based on integrity and the KLT Factor.  After spending a year or so on Jeff’s list I finally decided to jump on the opportunity to join The Article Marketing Teleseminar Club as a Charter Member back in December.  The membership in this Club was actually my Christmas present to myself!

Once inside the AMT Club, I discover the TRUTH about Jeff Herring.  I had joined initially because I wanted to be able to optimize Article Marketing as part of my marketing plans for my clients.  Once I got inside I knew I had found what I was looking for.  Article Marketing is just the tip of the iceberg.  Here is just a taste of the other monthly training we get access to:

• Content Creation

• List Building

• Traffic Generation

• Repurposed Marketing

• Product Creation

• Q&A Sessions

• Guest Speakers

• And More… (I’m not kidding lots more!)

Jeff Herring really is the “Everything Marketing” Guy.  Jeff is also walking the walk right along with us every step of the way.  Building business based on the KLT Factor, ethics and integrity are essential in these crazy economic times.  Start by doing what is necessary and follow Jeff and his business model.  He will give you the tools to do what is possible and soon the impossible will be knocking at your door!

Jeff Herring…thank you for being a Social Light and brighten all of our businesses and our lives as the Everything Marketing Guy!

The KLT Factor is simple.

It ain’t all about you!

Don’t let your “Me Cup” put out your Circle of Light!

If you aren’t sure how to be a Social Light this video should help.

Just in case you need a refresher, here’s Wikipedia’s definition of the
Can Spam Act.

How do you spread your “Social Light” online or offline?

Have you ever seen a really great post that you had to share?

How much time does it take to tweet about a cool new follower on Twitter?

Did you see an inspirational video on YouTube that you just had to share on FaceBook?

Social Marketing gives us all the opportunity to share the light inside of us and others around us to brighten al of our lives.  Being an Internet “Social Light” is a wonderful and rewarding way to build that know-like-trust factor in the communities you are in.

Sharing a little bit of light on the Internet can go a long way for both you and the people you are sharing with.  Katja Presnal, one of my Friday Friends over at the New Old Moms Club is a shining example of a “Social Light” in action.

The more light you spread the more your KLT Factor develops.

As you light up others, you will see that instead of seeing your light dim, the circle of light around you just keeps getting brighter!

Take a minute out of your day today to light up another person’s day and watch the circle around you shine!

The KLT Factor is not just something we should use to measure standards in business. It is a “life principle” that we should set as the standard we build on for ourselves.

President Barack Obama

KNOW-LIKE-TRUST?

I don’t do politics on any of my blogs so please don’t mistake this post for any type of political statement. Today, Barack Obama is being sworn is as our 44th President of the United States of America at today Inauguration. Yes, he will be the first Africa-America leader. But, still, is the KLT Factor there? Can you answer these questions:

Is Barack Obama someone that we really know?

Is he someone we like and more importantly, respect?

What about trust? Has Barack Obama earned our trust?

You might be thinking to yourself, “These questions are silly. The results of the election answer them.”

I don’t believe that to be true. The election showed very clearly that the American people were ready for a change and Barack Obama satisfied that desire. Now, can he live up to the job?

KNOW-we know a lot about our new President. And, if some of the less scrupulous media venues have their way, we may even have more information than we need to know. What do you know about Barack Obama? What else would you like to know?

LIKE- in this case, I don’t believe like is as relevant as respect. Do we respect Barack Obama? Respect is earned like trust is earned. Has this new President earned our respect yet?

TRUST-this is non-negotiable. Did winning an election mean that Barack Obama has the trust of the American people? Trust is earned. It is a privilege not a right. Do you trust Barack Obama as our new President of the United States of America.

The KLT Factor is the foundation for success in business and in life.

Each aspect, know-like-respect-trust, is a separate block that we lay down then build on.

Our actions, our words, our responses to events, how we treat others, how we treat ourselves, are all individual blocks that cemented together on our foundation of KLT. The result is the structure of who we are as a person and what we represent.

Use the KLT Factor as a foundation for your life and business. Choose the blocks you build with well. Cement them together with integity. Success will be yours.

As for our new President of the United States of America, Barack Obama, the next four years gives him ample time to build on the KLT Factor and the question, “Is Barack Obama someone we can know, like and trust?” will clearly be answered along the way.

Best wishes to the Obama family and to a building the next four years on the KLT Factor!

I consider Lynn Terry a rare find in this wide, wide world of Internet Marketing. She is real. She says what she means and means what she says for the good, the bad and the ugly of things.

This video was in my Inbox and I finally got to see it at about 3am this morning. All I could think of was this is know-like-trust at it’s very best and finest.

I consider myself lucky that I can call Lynn my mentor. I am part of her Elite Forum over at Self Starters Weekly Tips and consider that one of the very best investments I have ever made. The live calls on Tuesdays and Brainstorming on Thursdays has literally changed the way I do business more than any of the programs I have purchased.

I use Lynn’s search option on her ClickNewz site like I use Google. More often than not, I find the answers to my Internet Marketing questions right there in one of her posts!

The KLT Factor is about building a foundation of success based on Integrity. Based on Know-Like-Trust.

Lynn clearly enjoys the place she has earned in this world because she has built all she has and all she does on the KLT Factor!

Thank you Lynn and feel better soon!

The KLT Factor

Three simple words.

Know

Like

Trust

Look in the mirror. Who do you see?

Are you someone that people can know, like and trust?

These three simple words are the blocks that make the foundation of your success in business and, as far as I can tell in life.

The KLT Factor starts with you. If you don’t know, like and trust yourself than how will anyone else?

I know, sounds like a silly thing. Who doesn’t know, like and trust themselves? Well, answer the question then. Answer it honestly.

Know…what do people need to know about you? What don’t then need to know?

Like …how can you get people to like you? Do they really need to like or is earning their respect enough?

Trust…absolutely non-negotiable.

Now answer the question, do people really know you, like you and trust you?

Stop back and we’ll talk about some ways that you can really get the KLT Factor working for you in your business and in your life and if you have a minute, let me know what you thought.

Talk to ya soon!
