In a world of bad and fake news - BE THE GOOD NEWS! God has sprinkled Christians throughout the world, oftentimes in dark places. We can carry out the Great Commission through our work because God places us strategically. We have a Holy Spirit advantage over our secular peers. The media is riddled with bad and fake news, yet we are here as the better alternative. We should be the ones offering better service, better quality, and better care. Stop hiding. Let others know you ARE the BETTER ALTERNATIVE for the solution, programs, and lifestyle luxury they need. #showup #standout #beseen #beinfluential #appeareverywhere #beontv Consider joining our media challenge https://mediakitchallenge.psitvnetwork.com/welcome

Christians should be the Jacobs, Josephs, and Daniels of our time. Our presence in an organization could be a blessing for and to that organization. #thebibleonbusiness #profitablestewardship #intrapreneur

Based on Matthew 22:1-10.  #events #noshow #filltheroom Businesses have events, and we want the room filled. Sometimes we get disappointed with the turnout. Don't feel alone or defeated. This Bible story shares some strategies. Events are a great way to create new leads, sales, fans, and exposure. Even failures have lessons, so look for the lesson in every experience.

IF you believe, THEN you will receive (Matthew 21:22). There are many conditional promises in the Bible. It is not OK to focus on the gift and ignore the condition to receive it. As sure as I will receive my Doctorate from Liberty University, if and when I complete the track set before me; God's promises are even more sure.

You are a diamond- beautiful, valuable, and appreciated. Me - I am NOT a diamond. In fact, what if I am a Sapphire? Should I bleach my blue to be more like you? They say success leaves clues - and that is true. However, as we look at those who we admire, who inspire us, and whose success we want to emulate - too many of us are becoming COPIES, in fact, fakes, of the thing we are trying so hard to BECOME. Maybe, what we really need to do is not about BECOMING but REVEALING and REFINING! If you are a diamond and I am a sapphire, I will not bleach my blue to become like you. Instead, I will see your success and celebrate it, and understand that your glitter and polish were because you submitted to the cuts, the grind, and the polish. That is something to replicate. Maybe we can emulate the success PROCESS without trying to become the other person. A Sapphire in the ground is not the beautiful gem we display in jewelry or art. In nature, the blue rock is not that pretty but within the surface ugly is a natural beauty waiting to be UNCOVERED. The Sapphire does not have to BECOME a diamond to be beautiful, valuable, and appreciated. However, despite the potential within, it is the cut and the grind, and the polish that brings to the surface, REVEALS and REFINES the beauty that lies within.

The Bible has a lot to say about purposeful work. You may not see it yet, but every experience in your life is preparing you to operate in your God-given purpose. It took Moses 80 years to learn what his real job was and it was not to play Prince in the Egyptian palace, nor to be a shepherd in Midian. However, those experiences shaped him to be the perfect person for the job God called him to do. That painful experience. The memory which haunts you. You somehow survived and like ingredients in a cake, independently those experiences may not be pleasant but all together, you are uniquely positioned to do a very special thing in a very special way. Even if it SEEMS like someone else is already doing it - your fingerprint will make your version unique. You were made with a purpose. Step into it.

https://psitvnetwork.com/golden Our modern-day Joshua leading entrepreneurs to the PROFIT Land.   Dr. Myron Golden is my business coach and today I share him with you. He has a history of amazing personal success, but even more impressive, he has helped many have $100K days in their biz. While that is not yet my story, I have already seen a 25% bump in my sales.  The biggest reason I am so excited to share Myron with you is, he is a man of God with a solid grasp of the Word, a Kingdom identity, and an ability to share his success strategies using the word of God in such a way that even unbelieving audiences sign up to receive what he has to share. He is the author of several books, of which his most recent is my favorite, B.O.S.S Moves.   Myron Golden answers the following in this interview:   1.  Let's talk about the software for success. A decade ago I played a prosperity game and got hung up when the universe handed me 60K. I played it again and it felt like a fairy tale when the universe handed me $2M. The third time I played the game I saw that $2M in my future. You talk about FOS - failure operating system and SOS success operating system,  how do we rewrite/upload the SOS?    2. I've watched you go into secular environments and unapologetically use the word of God and I have watched unbelieving audiences still literally absorb like a sponge everything you say sure. I really want to empower the Christians who may be watching this show today. How do you do that and be so well received?   3. Let’s talk about starting a business, or the path of self-employment. The story of Jacob has him heading to Laban with just a walking stick and returning home in Genesis 30-35 with two groups of people, wealth and livestock. I am no Theologian, but I believe that switching from working as a hired hand to his father-in-law, then renegotiating his salary to a commission-based option where his pay was the spotted or speckled flock was a key to this wealth. Speak to the person who has been contemplating the switch and is fearful of this unknown path.   4. Let’s talk about the school work and the preparation for the mission ahead. There are many who choose to DIY their business operation without any guidance. Jesus learned a trade and was a carpenter, building furniture. Before Jesus started his ministry of building people, he spent 40 days in intense saturation with His father. Speak to the DIY mentality that often leads to many great business startups ending as business failures    5.  Now let us talk about scaling to grow. In Acts 11:21, it says, “The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number of people trusted and turned to the Lord.” The Christian church has continued to grow over the centuries and has failed to die like many fads that have come and gone.  Speak to the value of TRUST when it comes to scaling their business operation.   6. Billy Graham said, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MEN POSSESSING RICHES, THE WRONG COMES WHEN RICHES POSSES MEN. The one thing you said that had me write the check to have you as my Coach was, some use the people and love the money, it is better to love the people and use the money, and even better to use the money to love the people. Speak to the idea of sharing and philanthropy when God has blessed us.   7. Is there anything else you would like to share?

The elderly are often forgotten by family members busy living their own lives. Eventually, they depend more and more on others for help and not just in their activities of daily living, but also in their financial affairs. Ensuring their bills are paid and on time is not only about them having enough money to cover expenses. Very often it is just a matter of memory, and knowing how to navigate the online systems to send in timely payments. As a result, some turn to their health workers for help in the financial space and once they know their financial status, their online passwords, and more, it can become abusive, especially when they know that the family of the elderly does not check in, does not care, or is easily fooled into thinking all is well. Check-in with your elderly. Ensure their finances are not in jeopardy because they are trusting their Health Worker and others to be their Financial Helper too. While we are on the subject, put your legacy documents in place as well. I can help you create your Will, Trusts, Health Directives, Power of Attorney, and so on. Does your elderly have these in place in case you need to step in as their representative?

Pastors, Leaders, and Biz owners - this one is for you. Inspired by the reading from Numbers 11:1-23, Moses - the reluctant leader of the 600,000+ children of Israel - has some real leadership challenges.

It is doing the daily things, the mundane things, the tiny tasks - and executing them well, that you will stumble on your BIG OPPORTUNITY! Your big opportunity is the Goliath (the problem you solve for others). Your success is on the other side of Goliath. This is an inspired reflection having heard T.D. Jake speaks on the passage in 1 Samuel 17:17-37.

Coaches and Online Educators this is for you.  Educational content educates but is rarely entertaining. Entertaining content entertains but often lacks a learning component. EduTainment is the art of delivering educational content in an entertaining format. At PSI TV, we found little on how to accomplish the art of EduTainment, so we are creating it as we go and curating the relevant resources we do find. YouTube data shows only 9% of US businesses have a presence there and even fewer of you are on TV. PSI TV wants to change that statistic by empowering more US Businesses, particularly those offering educational content to utilize video for education in an entertaining way. This program will be offered to all our Brand Channel holders plus as a standalone resource for those Coaches and Educators considering moving into TV and maybe even TV. Interested in learning more?

Go to college. Get a degree. Get a job. Retire at 65. This is the life most of our parents lead and taught us to repeat. In fact, those of us who dared to venture away from this template were thought to be crazy, lazy, or stupid. Resumes are sent out to headhunters, and job sites like Zip Recruiter and Monster are flooded with the desperate seeking a j-o-b. Yet, even in 'secure' jobs with a pension (the few that may still exist), many feel empty and unfulfilled despite the great pay, benefits, and corporate uptick. A great idea may even cross their mind or fall into their lap - and after mulling the idea wistfully around for a few moments, fear takes over and they talk themselves right back into the 9-5 grind. It is the template they know. It is the program their families endorse. To do anything else is a flight of fancy. Even with the gig economy in full steam - there are maGo ny who cannot embrace the independent contractor or entrepreneur lifestyle. Yet, inside there is a nagging feeling - there is something more, or something else I should be doing with my life. So, here are my 4 tips to having a life you are excited to wake up to right now. Acknowledge the call to purposeful adventure. Find an Influencer who is doing something similar and review their content, strategies, and style. Identify your Pharaoh Take an immediate step toward it, even the tiniest baby step in the direction. A list is like a skeleton. What is a list without context? Bear with me as I put some meat on the bones of the 4 tips.

This content was transcribed to text for those who prefer to read. Show Summary: As a Christian and an occasional financial literacy table leader for my church, some are surprised by the fact that I do embrace credit. The fact is, I treat credit the way I would treat fire, or a sharp blade. Used correctly, it is an amazing tool. Handled mindlessly, and you have a possible fatality ahead. Even Jesus recognized that we are IN this world, even if as Christians - we are not considered citizens of this world. John 17:15-16 “ I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.” To function in this world today, especially in the USA, ignoring credit or becoming ‘credit invisible’ will make prosperity and wealth more challenging to grasp and enjoy. Impossible? No! But, why dig a trench with your hands when a shovel or back hoe would do a better job? Read more HERE

I RECORD MY FIRST TV SHOW TODAY! Being on TV has been on my Vision Board for two years and today I record my first TV show which will air in the upcoming week.  To see it on TV you would need to be in the local Tampa Bay, Florida area.  However, after it is recorded, I will receive the video file and I will post it to Youtube to share it with the world. The content of my TV show will be to introduce me and my services to my local community.  I will use this radio show as practice for what I will say, but also, this will serve as a summary of what we offer here at Profitable Stewardship, Inc. Listen in, and please connect with me.

Tax season is the one time of year that all businesses become publicly aware of their profitability.  Of course, this information should be known throughout the life of the business, but for the solo-entrepreneur or the small business owner who is still wearing a lot of hats, doing the accounting, keeping it up to date, analysing the data, and using that analysis to adjust their operation may happen less frequently that they know it should happen. Profitability is the goal of all business; even the not-for-profits want to generate more than they use up so that that extra can be donated to their cause or reapportioned so that they end with a zero profit line, but profit is still their goal, but how they handle that profit is special for not-for-profits. Understanding that all profit is income but not all income is profit is the foundation of creating profit.  PROFIT IS THE REALM OF MORE, OF ABUNDANCE, OF EXTRA. Too many solo entrepreneurs and small businesses are spending from their inflow without realizing how they are burning the future growth of their business.  It is time to be Profitable and to INCREASE in Profitability. It is time to pay attention to your harvest.  Let us look at what the Bible has to say for some Biblical insight into generating and building profitability. CLICKABLE LINKS  to everything mentioned on this show will be found in the blog version of the same title http://blog.trudybeerman.com/profit-income-not-income-profit-profitable/

WORK!  This is one word that rarely brings a smile to a face.  Students would rather play than settle down to work. Employees ache for breaks and the end of the day. Housewives groan at the dishes and dirty laundry. CEOs cringe when their phone rings one more time.  This is not always the case of course - but this is a reality for many. Humanity's purpose is to work.  For those who ascribe to the authenticity of the Bible, work was instituted from the first moments of Adam's existence in the Garden of Eden. Genesis 2:15 "The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it." However, work did not become hard for us until sin set in. As part of the Adamic curse, humans would only eat if they worked, and that work would be hard. Genesis 3:19 "By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” Knowing what moves you. Being aware of your passion.  Finding your purpose. These things require WORK!  When you know what your passion is, and you pursue it, I promise you, your work burden drops 100 fold, to the point where what you are doing may not even feel like work anymore. I challenge you to dream your WHAT IF?  However, there is a healthy way to do it, that will move you to action.  I share that with you here.  I challenge you to pursue your WHAT IF!

Love and money always hang together, but the relationship is not always healthy.  This show is for those who love money, love FOR money, and fall out of love when there is NO money.

Overeating, fighting, running away, drinking to drunkenness, depression are some of the negative coping strategies many adults subconsciously go to, when things do not go their way. Coping strategies for stressful situations can make the difference between profitable outcomes, or a deterioration of a situation. The Christian income earner would be wise to become aware of their own ‘go to’ strategies because these are things we do subconsciously.  Awareness is the first step to correcting anything that does not serve us or move us closer to our goal.

Prosperity Gospel as it is generally understood is a laid back, 'entitled' mentality of the 'name it and claim it' game, for those who believe that being saved means cash and luxury should be faith spoken into your grasp is to take the Bible out of context and creates a dangerous reason to head to church.  These people have a god, and it is money, not the Almighty God on High. The sad thing is, they wear the label of Christianity and create a controversy-filled dividing line within the church, and for those contemplating joining it. Profitability is the realm of MORE, the realm of ABUNDANCE.  I propose PROFITABILITY IS THE REAL PROSPERITY GOSPEL! This is the first component of a three-part series.  Today, I will look at the decision to BECOME (Mindset).  I will update this post when I add the content for the upcoming two segments; The Becoming (Money), andThe Becoming (Mastery).

A leader in my organization who also is a model of fitness and has been photographed professionally for that reason, just had the popular fat pinch caliper test done and according to the results - she ranked in the 'obese' levels. Her public post caught my eye and inspired this content. Fitness progress is something that can and should be tracked.  Athletes, for example, improve their game because they track their stats including their fitness efforts.  Tracking is important to progress, but some numbers can cause people to lose confidence and give up all efforts. Quantitative tracking is important but so is qualitative - and in the end, it is your goal that determines which tracking criteria matter most.

Depression is a horrible emotion to experience, and this morning's experience proves it takes very little to trigger that emotion. Beyond the experience of the emotion is the disruption of life because everything seems to come to a halt, and some things even reverse in progress because of the depression. Let me tell you right now, taking pills will not do much to change your mood, and if the fine print speedily read off at muted tones in ads are correct, some of these mood prescriptions may even cause suicide to be a more prevalent thought than the depressing ones.  Personally, I take no chemical mood manipulators. The moment I feel sick, angry, sad, annoyed, jealous, depressed -whatever!  If it does not serve me, it has to go!  I tell myself it has to go and it has no space in this place.  If that sounds silly to you, let me tell you - that formula has served me well, and I use it often.  I always shift from the negative to the positive and I do it as quickly as I can.  I encourage you to do the same. Flour by itself is not tasty.  Butter by itself is not something we sit down to eat.  Sugar by itself is not filling, however, you start mixing these and other ingredients together, and the result is often amazing!  So it is with life.  That depression right now is simply an ingredient in your life. If you are a Christian, remember this Biblical promise... Romans 8:28 "Furthermore, we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called in accordance with his purpose".

"Dad is in the Emergency room, AGAIN!" That was the call I received last night at 7:30 pm.  My parents live 4-hours south of me, so all I could do is sit by the phone waiting for updates.  I did not sleep well. For someone who sells love extensions through death compensation (aka - life insurance), this discomfort was even worse! I am fully aware that my dad's will is not up-to-date and even though I provided him with all the tools to update it, he has not done so.  I offered to help him, but apart from the possible privacy of him not wanting me to know his plans, he is competent to the task - just procrastinating.  Tomorrow is never guaranteed, people. This show is for adults with aging parents.  Do not assume they have their life transition plan in place.  Do not assume they have the funds for an appropriate send off in place.  Do not assume they have considered what's next for the surviving spouse.  Do not assume they have enough money to carry on if one pension goes away.  To assume any of the above is to suddenly find your life significantly impacted with a time and income impacting demands that could re-rail your future. Listen in for FREE and affordable resources to make this planning happen with your aging parents.  Access clickable links to these resources HERE http://wp.me/p7qSWn-1Rp

The Christian income earner should have profitable abundance in all areas of their life: Time, Talent, Temple, and Treasure.  If this is not your current experience, or you want to increase in those areas, this show is for you. The Profitable Christian - BE ONE!  here is How.?  READ along, or instead at ?http://blog.trudybeerman.com/profitable-christian/? Matthew 25:20-21 "The servant who had received five thousand coins came in and handed over the other five thousand. ‘You gave me five thousand coins, sir,’ he said. ‘Look! Here are another five thousand that I have earned.’ ‘Well done, you good and faithful servant!’ said his master. ‘You have been faithful in managing small amounts, so I will put you in charge of large amounts. Come on in and share my happiness!’"

Christian entrepreneurs sometimes have a love/hate relationship with PROFIT!  Jesus came into a poor family, never owned any property, and was buried in a borrowed tomb. Does that mean that Christians should be poor too? Many assume that following Jesus means being poor. Do you agree with that? Many Christians select the NON-PROFIT business model more often than our non-Christian peers.  There seems to be some stigma with profit that if they earn it they feel compelled to give it away and remain personally poor. This conversation will be a SERIES!  So we will stick to this portion of the conversation in this show. The other scheduled topics coming up in this series are: The Bible says we cannot serve God and Money. If we pursue prosperity, does this mean we serve money? Running a business has challenges and learning curves, and many of it is difficult and sometimes does not work out as planned. Does your faith help you in times like these? How? Direct Sales & MLMs often get lumped with the illegal concept of Ponzi or Pyramid schemes. To make it worse, even good companies have rogue Representatives that do unethical things. How can we as Christians help to lift the Network Marketing Profession through our work? We are Christians first before we are entrepreneurs. In our companies, and on our teams there is quite a bit of entrepreneurial training to help us grow our business. Do you feel there is enough faith-based leadership support for us to grow as champions and examples of what an "abundant life" looks like? If you are a Christian in Network Marketing or Direct Sales, join our Facebook Group. The focus of our group is to encourage and support Christians to be BOLD in their faith.

Census statistics show Americans are dying younger.   This show is for those who want to defy the odds and reduce the pain of their passing. According to a 12/8/2016 article in USA today, Americans are dying younger.  The sad thing is, the reasons offered are ALL lifestyle related. If you have followed this show, you know I talk a lot about Biblical stewardship of the body and stewardship of our finances. This is even more urgent a call to action now than ever before! We must take better care of ourselves and contribute to our own life extension.  However, since death is inevitable, no matter how much longer we live, when we die, we can impact the loss to our loved ones by leaving a significant financial compensation behind. Listen to this show to learn more.  If you are open to joining my team,to help the millions of people who need this kind of help; please connect with me.

Newlyweds have to do the money dance. The legal ramification of marriage creating Community Property, those who are spenders, savers, and everything in between comes into full drive after the 'I Do'. This show is for engaged couples and newlyweds doing the finance dance as they figure out how and if to merge their money and make future plans that will ensure money does not create the 'Divorce' conversation. My mother and I have a Pre-Marriage course that Florida County Clerks of the Court offer to couples when they go to get their marriage license. In this show, I will focus on the money conversation couples should be having to ensure money does not create the 'Divorce' conversation later.

The Brand of YOU What is your personal brand representing to those around you?  Do you even know?  Do you even care?  Do you understand that how you are seen by your public can impact your company?  For example, what Bret Farve meant to the Greenbay Packers, and what Michael Vick’s brand did for the Atlanta Falcon’s during his dog fight drama. Today, the Trudy Beerman brand evolved as a result of what I can only describe as a private civil war.  I was figuratively at war with myself – a war between my private and public self.  The face I showed the world and the authentic me that few got to know.    Building the brand of you and the brand of your business is easily seen in the analogy of having a baby.   The brand of you will impact the developing brand of your business if you have one.  The brand of you will cast an initial shadow to your corporate brand and eventually, both will stand as independent brands.

Have you ever heard of the M.I.B?  No!  I don't mean the movie, Men in Black with Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. YOUR HEALTH & THE COST OF INSURANCE. Taking care of yourself has an incredible impact beyond your quality of life experience, life expectancy, self-image, and mood.  All these things are absolutely impacted by our health, but our health impacts our money quietly behind the scenes as well. Taking care of you is a solid investment at so many levels.  Like any good investment, there is a positive rate of return, and one way of measuring that is in dollars.  Health is often taken for granted until it costs money to restore.  By the time health negatively impacts your finances due to income lost days to illness, injury, or early death, it may be too late for you or your loved ones to escape the tragedy that follows.

Jesus was broke. I have had so many people tell me this as an anti-argument to Christian prosperity, till I am absolutely SICK of it! More so, those who insist that Jesus was broke, point to this as an example of how Christians should exist on earth.  These people point fingers at affluent Christians as if they committed the worst sin possible.  How dare they?  How dare any of us who claim to be Jesus followers aspire to prosperity?  What kind of Jesus followers are we?

The fastest way out of debt is not doing without and cutting back. These are solid strategies for sure, but these are not the fastest way out of debt.  The fastest way out of debt is to make more money, and selling insurance is a fantastic way to generate a very comfortable, time-freedom life for you and your family. Since I have a college degree, my Real Estate Broker's License, and my Insurance license - I can tell you, if I could do it all over again, I would have eliminated two of the three.  Knowing what I know now - insurance as a career and insurance as a vehicle for wealth has, in my estimation has been easier to acquire and hold than any piece of real estate, easier to sell, and easier to liquidate; without accepting the burden of debt that came with six years of college. Is a career in Insurance Sales a fit for you?  Listen in to help you get the info to decide.

Working HARD and working LONG HOURS with very little personal gain to show for it is an excellent definition of SLAVERY. Yet, so many sign-up for that option daily, and they do so voluntarily. The longer these people stay in those jobs, the lower their quality of life, the tighter the noose around their necks and the economic slavery is locked in as the new lifestyle.   Historically, slaves were not compensated for their work, an Economic slave is poorly compensated for their work.  I define Economic slavery as a job with long hours or back-breaking work, a hard-ass Boss, zero growth opportunity and a pay so small, that it barely covers the necessities of life.   Instead of giving up the job most give up on their dreams. SAD! What you need is an exit strategy.  Sometimes being fired is a blessing in disguise because some of you won't decide to leave that noose tightening job unless you are fired and forced to find another income source.  Fired or not, no one is handing you a 'Get Out Of Jail' card.  You may just have to create your own escape, but first you must DECIDE to escape economic slavery.  DECIDE to create your better life. Having decided to escape, the next step is to take inventory of your skills, interests, resources and network.  Several times the Bible shows that we already have the seed to our harvest.  The Widow in 2 Kings 4:1-7 had her flask of oil, Moses had his walking stick, the disciples had 5 loaves and 2 fish.  God continues to ask us today, "What is in your hand?" Let's talk Exit Strategy so you can move in the direction of your life of purpose and power.

15+ pounds extra and you are clueless to how it happened and when. It seems like you woke up one day fatter than you remember yourself.  Before you go crazy trying to figure out how? Let me ask you... did you have a recent major life change? The College 15.   Post Military beer-belly. Becoming a stay-at-home mom. Swapping your job to work-from-home. Retirement.   These are a few of the life changes that creeping weight gain sneaks up on you without notice.  Months and extra pounds later, you realize your clothes no longer fit well, your health statistics are headed to the danger zone, and your personal confidence has slipped. Not knowing to expect this sneaky, creeping weight gain means no one prepares to avoid it.  Hopefully this show raises your awareness so this does not have to be YOUR future.  IF THIS IS ALREADY YOUR REALITY, then I have a zero-excuse, affordable, effective weight management solution for you.  #StewardshipOfYourBody

Want more money? Start looking over your spending habits for leaks and plug those holes. Want a puppy?  On your next apartment search, rule out all the properties that do not allow pets Want to become a cosmetologist? While you research possible schools and the funds to attend, why not watch multiple Youtube videos on the art of applying makeup, and you practice on your friends. Want to be more attractive?   Why not start to pay more attention to your skincare, your hair care, your nutrition and more. Want to feel abundant?  Go find someone in desperate need and donate something to them.  Trust me, you will walk away feeling very abundant. The point I am pointing out here is, the result you seek may not be immediately available but that does not mean you cannot walk in the direction of it. Whatever you are in prayer for, participate with God in the process to bring it to be. This brings a fresh understanding to the parable of the sower.  Farming is a huge teaching strategy of the Bible and rightfully so.  Whatever it is you want, that is the seed you must plant.  Just because you do not see a harvest right away, you need to keep sowing that same seed until you do.

NAKED, ignored posts is the entrepreneur's challenge.  Zero likes or comments, post after post suggests there is zero reason to look at the post, or worst, the page.  Human tendency is to avoid being the first to do anything, while the herd mentality of the crowd makes it easy to simply join in.  It is natural to have increased curiosity to those posts which others have already deemed worthy of participating in, and posts with activity tend to get even more activity.  Some are lucky enough to even go viral. While I am yet to figure out how to make a post go viral, I have created a solution to the naked post. My social media Tribe is established to create the initial buzz to a post, video, tweet or blog.  The Tribe is not set up for cross-marketing nor internal recruiting, let me be very clear on that.  The sole purpose is for Tribe members to deliberately interact with your post so that YOUR AUDIENCE will be more likely to engage with that very post because of the initial buzz they find there. Membership to this Tribe is FREE, however, remaining a member is not easy.  There are rules of engagement we do insist on and this membership is regularly scrubbed and deliberately kept low to only the more active members.  If this sounds interesting to you, listen to this audio for more info, and click HERE to request to join.

Life Gave you Lemons? Make a Lemon Cocktail! Creating your own opportunity

If you have ever wished to be on TV or in a movie on the big screen, this show is for you. People who lived outside of Los Angeles seem especially interested in coming to Hollywood to check out the possibilities of working and rubbing elbows with film and TV stars while on vacation. Vacation time is so limited, so preparation and planning is important to maximize any chance of a REAL Hollywood Experience that makes tours look LAME-O! Darryl Stewart is my special guest on this segment of Rising Stars.  In his career, he has had the opportunity to meet numerous interesting people who have decided to be background actors themselves. Within the extra and background community, there are many people from all walks of life, ranging from Desert Storm veterans to athletes who played in the NFL Super Bowl. Meeting and working with these people has given Darryl memories he will cherish forever. Some top actors got their start as a Movie Extra, and it is truly an easy and safe way to experience this industry before making a full commitment to the Hollywood lifestyle.
