How Rachel Makes 100K Per Month

Recently my friend Aisza spent some time talking to Rachel Oliver, LLI's currently monthly record holder ($185K), and asked her what she does to achieve a consistent 100K monthly income. Here is what she said:

In the beginning she would spend time visualizing the entire process:

• Getting a healthy flow of leads
• Calling them back
• Scheduling them to attend a call
• Following up after the call
• Doing a 3-way
• Taking down their credit card number
• Going to the bank to deposit the check
• Working with her business partners
• Watching them get results

It took about two weeks doing this consistently before she could do it easily. Now, though, she has done all this for real so often that she doesn't need to do it very much and instead spends her visualization time thinking about her goals.

She also learned from Tony to jump out and share her testimonial on as many calls as possible.

Aisza asked Rachel about her DMO (daily method of operation). Rachel said she calls prospects for about one hour in the morning, then she goes out and plays. Later, she spend another 2 hours prospecting and assisting her team. She spends about 5-6 hours "working" every day--2-3 hours prospecting and 2-3 hours on personal development.

That was a real eye-opener for me: 50% of her time is spent on personal development. Wow!

Thank you for knowledge, power, wisdom, and insight. Thank you for the LLI community! Thank you for every personal development teacher I have ever had. Thank you for expanding my territory! Thank you for strength. Thank you for choice. Thank you for joy. Thank you for my amazing, fantastic, wonderful environment. Thank you for my husband, my home, my children, my body--all the many experiences that I get to enjoy. Thank you for Aisza, Linea, Habiba, Tony, and Robin. Thank you for Brent and Shane. Thank you for their courage, leadership, inspiration, and insight. Thank you for my Aunt Susan. Thank you for Dani--her courage and example. Thank you for vision and light. Thank you for this incredibly beautiful weather. Thank you for Hawaii--for the strength and the power and the decision to go. Thank you for the money and abundance that is all around me. I am so richly blessed.

Lesson 12: Acknowledging

It's interesting, when I picked up the book and read the title of this lesson, I instantly thought that "acknowledging" meant to acknowledge the effect other people have had on our lives. What a surprise to learn that it's about acknowleding me and my achievements--precisely what the lesson points out that we often forget to do.

And this is a great day for this lesson for me, because I was able to notice and applaud something I did--and was fortunate to talk to Aisza right afterward so that I could talk about it and get some external affirmation.

I mentioned in a previous blog that I have been participating in an affirmation group. Every day (6 days a week), we get together and read our affirmations and share our successes. It has been an amazing journey--particularly since I hadn't been doing my affirmations consistently (honestly, I thought I didn't need to--ha!). With consistent application, I am noticing that I literally create my own reality--a concept I have often taught others, but (for shame) hadn't really applied in my own life. By writing what I want my life to be like, repeating it over and over, and sharing it with others, I am discovering that I have an irresistible urge to make that a reality in my experience. It has been amazing!

There are two pieces of my affirmation that are important to today's events:
1. I affirm that making money with Liberty League is simple, brilliant and inspired and that anyone from anywhere can follow the system and build a path to their dreams.
2. I claim prospects who contact me because they are ready, willing and eager to receive their abundance. These new friends understand our simple system, are excited about joining our community, get started immediately, and succeed wildly.

These two things have completely revolutionized how I think about and talk to prospects. Today I spoke with a woman who was a struggling life coach. After listening to the overview call, she was on the fence and scared. I asked her what she teaches her clients, and she said, "To live in integrity with what they want in life and to make bold decisions." So I asked her, "And do you live in integrity with what you want and make bold decisions?"

Shane often says that being a leader means having bold conversations with people--taking a stand for their greatness and not putting up with their "stuff." Today was the first time I really did that, and it felt so great. I came from a position of strength, and I believe I left this woman with some powerful things to think about when it comes to her life and what she will choose to do with it.

And it all came because my head is now in the right place--and it feels awesome!!! :o)

Daily Gratitude & Promise

"And he who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious; and the things of this earth shall be added unto him, even an hundred fold, yea, more." (Doctrine and Covenants 78:19)

Thank you for the beautiful sunshine. Thank you that I live so close to the river--it is so beautiful, and it brings me such peace, joy and happiness just to look at it.

Thank you for Aisza and Linea--their inspiration, encouragement, and leadership. Thank you for our affirmation and accountability call--thank you for all of the amazing, wonderful, seemingly miraculous events that brought us together. Thank you for my new book! Thank you for Joe. Thank you for the precious gift of living life on this planet, and thank you for every single person who has had a hand in helping me notice, appreciate, and enjoy it. Thank you for all of the wonderful, amazing things that are coming into my life as a result of my personal development and affirmations (more like this please!).

My Promise

It has been an interesting several weeks. EVERY time that I have made a promise to myself I have broken it--even the last one, which I thought was so easy. I wonder why this is? Well, I have learned not to focus on the why of the problem but rather to focus on fixing the problem. This may not work when fixing a washing machine (oh, btw, thank you for my wonderful, incredible, smart, handy husband and the fixed washing machine!), but it is definitely true to for fixing a life.

For the last several weeks I have been participating in a great affirmation experiment. I'll have to write more about it later, but those of us who are doing it are witnessing remarkable changes and experiencing great results.

A good deal of our success is due to the fact that we are accountable to each other every single day. How, we wondered, could we be accountable to each other for more than just our affirmations?

I suggested that we make a deal that in order to be eligible to participate in our affirmation call (which we love), we must first do the thing that we are challenged by (for some it is finding time for visualization, for some it is writing in our journal, etc.)

Everyone thought it was a great idea.

So here is my new promise: I will do at least 30 minutes of personal development between each affirmation call. If I don't, I will not participate.

I can tell already the difference this promise is making in my life. Woo hoo! :o)

This Week's Promise

Well, third time is a charm, right? I was shocked at how difficult it was to keep my first two promises. I didn't realize I had a problem with that! Beyond Freedom specifically says to start with a promise that is easy to keep--just so you can prove to yourself that you can keep it. So this time I am going to make a promise that I really will do:
I will write my gratitudes every day.
