HI Mike! I shared this comment in your Fan Page Discussion but wanted to share it here too…

Funny, I teach about the “Big 4″ but the Fan Page is something that I have been contemplating with for months… Here’s my post:

“Hi Mike! This is sooo cool! THANK YOU for taking the initiative and leading the way to educate the community re the benefits of a Fan Page. I for one have contemplated the idea of a fan page for a few months now but here are the 2 biggest reasons I haven’t moved forward with creating one:

1) I can’t get over the idea of me inviting people to “Become My Fan”… why can’t it just be “Let’s Learn From Each Other” or something? I know it’s a rather shallow excuse but I guess my #2 reason is is really what has been stopping me and that is,

2) I already have to consciously limit my time for my social media mktg efforts, especially now that I am in product and course creation mode. I am already having a bit of a challenge making time to build and foster my relationships on my personal FB profile that to add another page – a Fan Page- where I really have to be consistently “present” and maintain makes me a bit nervous that one of them might suffer from lesser TLC…

One of my mentors ( soon to launch a book am co-authoring with her) Social Media Expert Mari Smith, is a huge advocate of Fan Pages and that’s what prompted me to seriously consider it.

I know sooner or later, I have to do it since I have so much I would like to teach and share as far as how to use technology and Relationship or Relational Marketing to grow ones business!

I am all eyes – and ears – to what you’re doing! I continue to learn immensely from you and I absolutely trust your direction and pioneering spirit!

In Gratitude,

Emma ”

Yes, Ren. Prof. teaches you the best and what you do need to succeed. Why spend membership fees on other programs that online give you a little bit. I like the whole enchilada, and Ren. Prof. delivers that in abundance.

Comment by Marie Leonard — December 9, 2009 @ 2:26 pm

Dear Mike and Partners:

You keep providing SO much enormous value to your community.

Personally, I have been a fan of Dr. Ellie Drake for some time.

Unfortunately, I am unable to get that above VIDEO to work – but I’ll keep trying.

Perhaps there’s a ‘glitch’ in the software?

Warmly / Peter A.

Great coaching.Forgotten about the different styles of listening.Pure gold.
Thanks.

Comment by Andrew Collinson — November 9, 2009 @ 2:47 pm

Ellie teaches us from her own personal experience. She has learned to listen to her inner self. Ellie takes consistent action. She admonishes her listeners to do the same.

When she teaches about becoming a good listener, it comes from her heart. Ellie encourages each student to “lean on your own authentic self”; to sit up straight; keep muscles relaxed; to speak and write from where you are coming from.

Oh, there is so much more in the 9 Tips in Listening that she gave in this webinar. It is certainly a gift to be able to listen to it repeatedly.

Thank you Ellie, Thank you Mike and Didi and the Marketing Merge team.

Comment by Pat Campbell — November 9, 2009 @ 4:30 pm

WOW!!! I am so happy that this is recorded, I will definately need to listen to this more than once. What a truly wonderful speaker, someone that I will follow.

Thank You So Much For Forwarding

I’m new to internet and social networking and FB adn twitter. I cant get the video to play. Is there soemthing wrong with my computer?

Comment by Jenny Wong — November 9, 2009 @ 7:18 pm

Thank you very much to Ellie for spending time with us and for Mike and Didi for arranging it and putting the recording up for all of us to listen to. For me the ‘aha’ was learning when to interrupt at the right place. I allow people to unload themselves and I have learned it is OK to interrupt and bring them back to the essence. The 9 tips are critical for everyone to be aware of and to practice.

Comment by Helen Wenley — November 9, 2009 @ 8:32 pm

Thank you Ellie and Mike for such an inspiring teaching.

Great to learn how to become a good listener – be able to communicate with your authentic self, listen with your heart and align with your body language even though when we are on the phone, so important.

Develop the ability to know who we are first and people will follow.

Lots of valuable tips to help developing ourselves from within first so we can coach and lead others.

“I am my own product, invest in myself” a gem!

Thanks again

Listening to Ellie, I was struck by the similarities between her strategies and those, which I learned to employ, whilst becoming a radio interviewer, back in the 1970’s.

I learned from George Yeatman, a dear man, who invested time and considerable energy in teaching me the fundamentals of being a good interviewer.

I listened to him and, with all modesty, I did become better at it. But, having been in denial, for too long, I had turned my back on interviewing people, for a living.

Now, realising that I still have something to offer, I am, thanks to Ellie, once more determined to use my poor talents.

Not just in the search for a pot of gold, but in the deepfelt need to become a valued part of my business community – valued, through my ability to reach out, through the medium of sound and, by doing so, to help others achieve more, from their businesses.

Thanks, Ellie. You have inspired me.

Comment by Graham Freer — November 10, 2009 @ 1:43 am

Thank you, Mike, for sharing this aspect of your success. To be able to improve ones self both professionally and personally is something that I look forward to. I know that I will listen to Ellie several more times and have already jumped to her website. I am sure that the coaching cognition course is going to be very worthwhile and look forward to adding this to my plate as I continue to work through your other trainings. Your ability to give the entire recipe, or set of skills, to us through Renegade Breakthrough has simply been amazing. Thank you for pushing us, while holding our hands along the way!

Comment by Phyllis Emrich — November 10, 2009 @ 10:00 am

In just few days I’ve been able to practice the tips that Ellie shared during the call. It’s such a wealth of information that I have to go back to my notes often. These are not just skills for Network Marketing but for life.
Thank you everyone for such an amazing learning experience.

Comment by Angelica Ried — November 10, 2009 @ 4:35 pm

WOW! That’s all I have to say for NOW. WOW!
And thank you, of course, to Ann and Michael, for giving me this wonderful opportunity to meet such a great lady. Dr. Drake is the first person ever who could put into words what made me such a success with what many call “problem students” or children in general. Until now I had no idea of what I now understand to be “visceral listening”. Even though I don’t remember even hearing the word before, I must have just been born with it which would explain why so many students often told me that until meeting me, they had never felt “inspired” to want to learn or what made me so popular whenever I was in sales.
Like Peter Arnold, I had a hard time to get the video to work for days but I found the trick today! It just took a little patience to allow the blue bottom line to upload all the way before I began to listen or else it kept cutting off, which I did by putting it on pause afer clicking “play”. Then it was smooth sailing. Not only did I listen to it twice but filled a whole notebook of just about every word she had to say.
By the way, I really enjoyed Peter Arnold’s website which, out of sheer curiosity, because we had the same problem, I was glad I checked. Duty calls right now but I will go back to it soon. Hoping I will one day have the know-how to acquire one of my own (website that is), I keep on learning all that I can about it and about having an internet business I can be passionate about. With Ann Sieg’s “The Renegade Network Marketer”, which I am still reading, I will surely learn as I believe I saw something to that effect on Page 94.
“NOW”, and at the risk of repeating myself, I will say all that I have to say about this video: “WOW”.

Comment by Teri — November 11, 2009 @ 2:18 pm

Wonderful insights… especially being able to listen to oneself before being able to listen to others. The call was amazing.

Comment by Annette — November 11, 2009 @ 10:35 pm

Mike, Didi, and Ann, this has been a tremendous teaching for living daily in work, play,and community. Especially, because this takes one out a self-centered mode of operation to a caring tactile– caring mode. Listening is essential for listening to others, self, and inner self of both. Dr. Drake is so inspiring to be patient, attentive, and encouraging personally. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP TO GROW AND BE SUCCESSFUL. I am thankful for her free gifts.

Comment by Jessie Dudley — November 12, 2009 @ 9:08 am

Mike and Didi the live conference call with Ellie Drake was truly educational and inspiring.

Thank you Ellie for exploring and explaining the listening skills from within. The 9 tips were great. I will be listening to this audio again and again.

Thanks

Fabulous call. I am so glad you cover listening to yourself is the path to listening at a deeper level to others. Excellent information. A breath of fresh air. The power of asking the right questions, and taking the time to respond at a deeper level.

Comment by Faith Barnard — November 12, 2009 @ 7:46 pm

@Didi, Ellie and BraveHeartWomen give tremendous value. In coaching she truly is able to get to the core of the matter, even though I at times, was not ready to face them. But,it got work done

Coaching Cognition is billing to be a most significant personal development program available to the individual serious about making changes.

With Barbara Silva, Curtis Johnson and now Dr. Ellie Drake–three very wise, intuitive practitioners working with us intimately—wow, I am so glad for this opportunity.

Coaching Cognition will be an instrument of change for each participant. The training program will equip a team of coaches impacting the community that reaches out to them in tangible ways. How empowering.

WOW…

Comment by John Harrington — November 15, 2009 @ 10:19 pm

The thing I like about Renegade Pro is that is addresses all levels of Internet Marketing. The beginner will get tons of value and the more advanced people will also get tons of value. The key is to stick with it long enough to garner the value. When I started Renegade I came to the program with a great deal of knowledge about the Internet (I am a web designer). I still found that I learned a great deal that I could both use in my business as well as use to promote my business. I found that dedicating a few hours to the training videos each day ( or several on weekends) was what it took to learn what I needed to know. Focusing on one subject until it is mastered is also very helpful. Fight the urge to bounce around and remain focused – you will see awesome results!

Comment by Dotty — October 2, 2009 @ 9:34 pm

Mike, I couldn’t have said this better myself “If you don’t complete your training OF COURSE you can’t make the same business transformations as our students who HAVE completed their training”.

I’ve talked with so many prospective Renegade beginners who first off are suffering from information overload, and secondly don’t know where to begin.

And I always begin by telling my story,start at Squidoo and follow the tutorials click by click step by step it’s the way the program was designed and believe me it works.And by all means develop a plan(you own essential list) and stick to it.

“Inner turmoil and a sense of “lack” (not having what you want fast enough) leads to self doubt and self destruction:”

I am one of those students who allowed distractions, real life issues get in the way of learning. True enough, circumstances prevail that get in the way of progress towards a goal. Turmoil and self-doubt follow.

I am deeply grateful for the ongoing encouragement and determination that brings me back to center. The learning curve is always before me, and every student. Staying the course is well worth the effort.

I am glad, I did not allow distractions to become the master of my journey through Renegade Professional.

Comment by Pat Campbell — October 4, 2009 @ 8:56 pm

How many times have I fallen for the “grass is greener” scenario! And it wasn’t until I became a Renegade Professional that I found myself becoming more focused and on track.
Why would I want to look anywhere else when all I need is right here?
Staying focused on my goals has now become much easier.
What sweetens the pot greatly is the opportunity for advancement, such as the Super Guide team and now the Coaching Cognition opportunity and possibly becoming a paid coach.
There are no other communities I’ve seen so far that deliver the value and opportunities seen in Renegade Professional.

Comment by Marie Leonard — October 19, 2009 @ 7:27 am

Thank you for those encouraging words. I am finding my focus and watching the video again helped. You are right it is so easy to get distracted on the internet. I find having a to do list for the day keeps me focused.
Thank you
