I recently met an enlightened entrepreneur named Woody Woodward who is doing amazing work and helping people breakthrough to extremely high levels of success in their businesses and personal lives through the identification and understanding of their Emotional Fingerprint™. Everyone of us has a unique fingerprint that once known will lead us to a greater understanding of ourselves.

Have you ever wondered why you like certain people and yet others drive you crazy? Or why you fall in love with one person and feel no
connection with someone else? Why does a specific friend become a best friend over others? Why do you get along with some coworkers and with others there is conflict? All of these relationship examples are a result of your Emotional Fingerprint.

Wouldn’t it be valuable to learn how specific traits that create your Emotional Fingerprint have a direct impact on your love life, friendships, family members, business associates, your ability to be happy, and so much more?
The failures and successes in our relationships are determined by how
we validate our Emotional Fingerprint.

Consider the couple who has been married for fifty years or friends who have weathered every storm together. How have they kept their relationship alive when fifty percent of marriages end in divorce and many friendships end as a
result of different viewpoints or misunderstandings?

Our Emotional Fingerprint is created by what makes us feel important.
The word “Important” may be misunderstood by some and it can have
a different meaning for each person. For the purpose of this system,
importance is defined by as having a feeling of significance, purpose,
completeness, joy or feeling on top of the world.

Complete You Free Emotional Fingerprint Self-Assessment HERE

Once you complete your free self-assessment you will receive a tremendously insightful report and have a deeper understanding of yourself and how you interact with others. This new knowledge will assist you in both your business and personal life by positively impacting all of your relationships.

Who is Woody Woodward?

Mr. Woodward is founder of the highly respected Emotional Fingerprint™.   Emotional Fingerprint was chosen as one of the leading techniques to be presented to the United Nations to assist them in reaching their millennial goals.  Mr. Woodward is a success strategist who works one-on-one with Hollywood’s elite as well as top business professionals.  He has worked in China, Thailand, Europe, and throughout North America.

Due to the effectiveness of the Emotional Fingerprint he has been called in many times to do interventions with people who suffer from addictions such as eating disorders, gambling, pornography, drugs and alcohol and even suicidal patience.  His business clients have used the principles in the Emotional Fingerprint to increase their profits, establish a better working environment, helped to retain employees and solve customer concerns.

I am amazed by the diversity of talent that people possess and the variety of ways those talents are expressed . I love sports because of the ease at which you can see who had a vision and completed the daily work required to achieve them and who prepared to win, not surprisingly… it is not always the most talented. The winners often are those with the biggest heart and strongest mindset.

How do you win the game of life?

It all starts with you making a decision to identify what you want and what you are willing to do to get it. The success journey starts with a thought, what do you want? Once you have clearly identified what you want you must become nonnegotiable about your desired outcome.

When I mentor people, I often talk about winning the day which is powerful concept that will change your life once you understand what it means.

What does wining the day mean and how to do it?

Winning the day is completing one meaningful action (everyday) that brings you one step closer to your ultimate dream. If you put action beind this simple idea you will win the day.

Clearly if you can put together enough wining days you will complete your goals and fulfill your dreams. As you consider what you want to achieve, don’t be afraid to fail going after what you want. Think of failure as an essential part of the process of creating success. Be bold, give value to others, celebrate the small victories and embrace every challenge as part of the journey, and most importantly be grateful. Gratitude is one of the secret ingredients.

Action plans to make the process actionable!

Step 1. Decide what you want to achieve

Step 2. Document your decision in full detail and be specific

Step 3. Figure out what path you will take to get what you want

Step 4. Aim high!

Step 5. Take risk

Step 6. Refuse to quit

Step 7. Celebrate small victories

Step 8. Make course corrections as needed

Step 9. Live with a heart full of gratitude

Step 10. Pay it forward to help others

I surround myself with positive influences and inspirational videos daily

If you are serious about creating your success, I invite you to reach out to me so I can help you build a business worthy of your biggest dreams. My mission is to sow increase into the lives of others by co-creating wealth and abundance. It is part of my path.

I am here to help you succeed and invite you to post a comment below and let me know how I can help you grow your business.

Have a blessed day!

In this session Brad and I explored a variety of issues that impact membership site owners in the advertising exchange industry. When this interview ended I knew we had achieved something that would bring value to anyone interested in created a successful online business. Through the telling of Brad’s story and exploring ideas we uncovered golden nuggets which are immediately actionable.

Recording of the Brad Webb Interview

Visit State Of The Art Mailer HERE

Brad Webb’s interview turned into a virtual workshop for site owners as the conference room was populated primarily with site owners including many of our communities largest traffic exchange owners. The screen shot below was captured during the conference as we recognized the trend.

James Holmes and Brad Webb

Several Site Owners Where In Attendance During the Conference

What is The Traffic Exchange Summit?

The Traffic Exchange Summit is a collective of people who are passionate about traffic exchanges and those who use them to build there businesses.  We are here to support everyone who uses traffic exchanges or has built a business based on advertising exchanges including owners, product developers, advertisers, and of course our members… those who surf the  exchanges.

Who is Brad Webb?

Brad Webb is President and Co-Founder of State Of The Art-Sites. You probably know him best from the very popular email marketing website, State Of The Art Mailer which was launched in March, 2010. He is also at the top of many leader boards in several affiliate programs he promotes with his business partner, Jaye Pause. Brad and Jay recently announced the addition to Paul Coonan and VTraffic Rush to their business.

What is State of the Art Mailer?

Part of the inspiration behind the creation of State Of The Art Mailer (SOTAM) was our own desire, as marketers, to see something new and fresh in the internet advertising community. SOTAM primary goal is to get your ads out fast, while providing superior click rates… all at the same time! Additionally, SOTAM wanted their members to enjoy a steady stream of income that wouldn’t die out over time. Too often, programs explode on the market only to dwindle away after their members lose interest. SOTAM has been “engineered” to keep you coming back!

Final Thoughts and Actions

I recommend that you invest the time required to watch the complete recording from our discussion with Brad Webb and take notes in order to create an action list. There is tremendous value and expert advice here to help you grow.

I recommend joining State of the Art Mailer, Bucket of Banners and VTraffic Rush then posting and tracking your ads.

I just finished watching an interview conducted by Linda Johnson Rice, President and CEO of Johnson Publishing Company, Inc. The interview was conducted as part of the 18th Annual Financial Seminar in Chicago. The interview was rich with topics and covered some very critical points related to financial literacy and wealth preservation.

Robert L. Johnson, Chairman and Founder The RLJ Companies

One of the things I have always respected about Bob Johnson is that he has been a consistent champion and inspiration to minority entrepreneurs which is really needed. According to Forbes (the Forbes 400) Mr. Johnson had achieved a personal net-worth in excess of one billion dollars and various estimates still place his net-worth between 550 and 750 million dollars. He is a big thinker and has achieved success across a variety of niches at the highest level.

I wanted to share this interview with you because it is more than inspiring… it contains valuable and actionable advice. The interview will also challenge you and stretch the way you think about capitalism and entrepreneurship in America. Once you have finished watching the video be sure to post a comment and share this post on your social networks.

I am excited about TOAN because it allows its members to leverage banner and text advertising on an unlimited basis without the need to earn credits by reading ads.

Regardless if you are marketing Empower Network, Motor Club of America, Melaleuca, Vicalis, Solavei, or any other income program you simply need to drive massive traffic from target visitors who are qualified to buy your offer.

The Online Ad Network provides you with a cost effective way to get unlimited traffic through banner ads and text ads redirected to your squeeze pages and website. The network converts at higher rates than many of the other ad networks I use and the program expands daily.

My friend and fellow marketer Tissa Godavitarne caused me to really take a close look at Kiva and their micro-lending program for the first time. A little over a year ago I participated in a 6 day marathon over at my S.W.A.T. Conference and we discussed Kiva every singe hour… for some reason I did not fully understand how powerful and life changing mission of Kiva.

When Tissa posted about Kiva on Facebook I guess my heart and mind was open to discovering a new way to fulfill my personal mission:

“To sow increase into the lives of others by co-creating wealth and abundance.” – James Holmes

And so, I clicked on the link Tissa provided and my journey as a supporter of Kiva began. As I write this I have made six loans to borrowers in Ecuador, Benin, Philippines, Mexico, and Kenya. I have been focusing on entrepreneurs in farming and agriculture.

What is Kiva?

In this short video you will gain a sense of the essence of Kiva’s work and how they empower entrepreneurship thereby striking a blow against poverty.

Join Free and Receive a $25 Credit to Make Your First Loan

My Public Declaration

I would like to share a personal declaration with you as my readers and I would love for you to keep me accountable to my funding goal as a Kiva lender. I am going to declare it here, sign my name to it and focus on making it a reality.

“I declare that I will make 1,000 micro-finance loans to worthy recipients who are solo-prenueurs and entrepreneurs around the world through Kiva. I will make 1,000 micro-finance loans over the next 24 months.” – James Holmes

James Holmes First Six Kiva Loan Recipients

My start as a member of Kiva was simple as it all began with an invitation to participate in their current membership promotion which allows you to join for free, receive an instant $25 credit and immediately lend that money out to understand how it all works. I would like to invite you to do the same.

How You Can Get Involved for Free Today

Getting started is easy and you can take advantage of the same new member promotion that I did by clicking here and signing up for your free account. Once you have joined your account will instantly be credited $25 which you can immediately lend out to the recipient of your choice.

Once you have selected an entrepreneur to fund, I will be notified by Kiva and I will add leverage to your loan by making an additional loan to the same recipient as my way of thanking you for getting involved.

Final Thoughts

The power to improve the world economy and alleviate poverty for millions of people around the world lies in the hands of entrepreneurs and the practice of entrepreneurship. It is a call to capitalism for sure, but it is also a call to compassionate servant leadership as part of the world community. You have heard it said “to whom much is given much is required” and this is an essential truth.

Entrepreneurs are rewarded as an outcome of the problems we solve and/or the value we provide to the marketplace. Take action on this and you will be one step closer to creating a harmonious business environment and the feel good factor will simply turn you on!

The Famous Rich Dad Golden Key of Resources

Robert and Kim Kiyosaki’s personal net-worth is estimated at 80 million dollars. The Rich Dad books have sold an estimated 26 million copies worldwide.

I think it is both sad and a little annoying to see how quickly the media turns a darling into a devil at the first site of weakness or poor judgement. It happened when Donald Trump was upside down a few hundred million and it is completely predictable.

For Robert and Kim Kiyosaki this is a situation that I don’t feel they can afford to ignore because they are after all known in the marketplace as wealth creation gurus providing financial education… it is their brand. So what is a multimillionaire to do when the media is reporting you are broke?

Protecting Your Brand in 3 Actionable Steps

Step 1: Communicate your truth by sharing the facts with as many people as you can in as many places as you can by leveraging the social media and traditional media. Share the facts because every false media story starts with a thread of truth and you should own the facts around your truth and offer your perspective.

Step 2: Focus on the silver lining by using challenging moments as a teaching opportunity for your clients, customers, followers, and fans. A major public setback or all out failure can actually provide you with a huge opportunity to educate your base and focus the attention on the value you bring to the marketplace.

Step 3: Re-frame the messages surrounding your brand and resolve any valid issues within your control. Be proactive with PR and communicate openly with your market.

The worst action is choosing to stand silently on the sidelines and failing to control the message. You have a responsibility to protect your good name and brand value.

Ethical Considerations are Not Trivial

Beyond protecting your brand you also may be faced with ethical considerations as part of solving the puzzle. In the Kiyosaki case this should be an area of concern for them; as previously mentioned both are considered to be financial gurus and there is always sensitivity when large sums of money are involved.

Surely some will ask if the Kiyosaki’s were found to be in breach of their agreement and a court entered a judgement intended to make the prevailing party whole, is it ethical to use bankruptcy to avoid the judgement? These considerations are serious and failure to properly handle them could lead to long-term negative consequences.

Final Thoughts and Considerations

I don’t know all of the facts concerning ‘The Learning Annex v Rich Global, LLC‘ so I have no opinion as to this specific case or the details surrounding the bankruptcy filing.

I have a tremendous amount of respect for Robert and Kim and the education and value they provide through their work. No doubt they have helped tens of thousands if not millions of people by making them more financial savvy and inspiring others to take action.

Please feel free to post a comment and share your thoughts. I am here to help you success and invite you to connect with me and let me know how I can make a difference in your life.

The importance of the ANMP cannot be overstated given the current state of the economy and our industry. There is a real need for a safe and supportive association which operates in an environment that is generic from any specific company… the ANMP supports the distributors in our profession.

The ANMP was founded in 2004 and formerly known as the Distributor Rights Association or DRA. Co-founded by  Rod and Marcie Cook, who brought together a group of dynamic and dedicated professionals to benefit network marketing distributors.  I love the objective of the association, focused on establishing standards for the protection of all groups within the Network Marketing community, and educating companies and distributors of their responsibilities and rights.

The ANMP has worked to help prevent harmful legislation on supplements and proposed business opportunity rules by the FTC; has drafted publications on standards; and has continually provided education and resources for network marketing professionals for distributors, company executives and industry vendors.
