OSP National Conference 2016 Winners

Modern Marketing business plan is something that is out of the ordinary. Not many people are able to be on magazine covers, get a luxury car as a gift, or even be able to get an all expense paid family trip to a tropical destination within their company. The best part of our business is the unlimited growth we are providing each and every day to our executives. Congrats to everyone who has won an award at our National Conference 2016!

It take time to create great things!

Upcoming Executives!

One of the most difficult parts of reaching your goals or making positive change is pushing through discomfort. This is where a a lot of people give up - when the process inspires all kinds of challenging feelings. If you've quit your day job to pursue your passion and after six months you need to sell your car to keep going, a cubicle may appeal to you for the need of security. But maybe your will is strong enough to clear any emotional hurdles, but odds are that you have a voice inside your head saying "Go back. It's too hard. It's not worth it." Every one needs to remember that when your emotions get louder, challenge them with more emotions because that is exactly what all of our executives did and are continuing to do. Especially Micah Shaw, Morgan Couvillion, Kyle Redwine, and Ray Mallebay. These four executives pushed through the pain to build their success and we are waiting to see more growth that has to come with them being a part of our organization.

Purpose of Business Trips

So this week has been full of adventures for Modern Marketing. Many executives from our Troy location got the chance to go on a business trip to our Ann Arbor location as well as some of their executives got the chance to come to our office. There are the primary purpose why we like planning out a business trip for our executives here at Modern:

To meet with existing or potential clients

There are team-related meetings

Training and development

Linking traveling with business goals will help companies more efficient and better support their strategic priorities.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are some ways to help anyone who wants to get promoted from a position they are currently in :

Surround yourself with people who challenges you.

Don't expect or want the need to get praised, get criticized with information on how to improve your work to get better.

'No Drama' - Those in the office should not effect your working capabilities.

Enjoy what you are doing, so just simply SMILE.

Take notes in order to learn from others and the speakers.

Never skip an office party, because a strong office relationship will create a great and strong dynamic.

Ask for help if needed.

Have a solution when things are not working out.

Know your job & just do it.

Colin Meister Promotion

Congratulations to Colin Meister on his promotion!

Modern is excited to announce another promotion to the team! Mr. Meister started here just weeks ago and now he is already earning his ETT title in our company. Colin got the chance to go on a business trip last week with a couple of the other executives at Modern and learned a lot of new knowledge to help him with his entrepreneur mindset. Colin's mindset is very sport-like so he knew that there was no stopping him and he was going to go all the way with more promotions to come. He has definitely brought a new excitement to our office and we are extremely excited to see the new ideas he has to bring.

IDOLS becomes RIVALS

IDOL: Person or thing regarded with admiration, adoration, or devotion.

RIVAL: Person or thing competing with another for the same objective or for superiority in the same field of activity.

Every one has an idol who they want to model their life after, especially entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs has their own vision but also understands success. And in order for success, entrepreneurs need to understand other successful entrepreneurs vision in order to one day become as big if not bigger. We all will become idols to others and rivals to some but it will mean nothing if we do not create our own success for ourselves. 

No Excuses Mentality

Entrepreneurship doesn't mean to make excuses. The only right answer to anything is to learn how to be completely accountable for yourself, what you do and what you do not do. When you accept everything and accept that accountability, than you are willing to live a no excuse life. You want to create a powerful internal dynamic rather than being externally motivated by what is happening around you and will become internally motivated. You learn how to believe in yourself and set yourself to standards that will push you.

Prencis Chism Promotion!

Congratulations are in order to Prencis Chism on her wonderful promotion. 

The one thing that has really helped Prencis Chism get her to her promotion was thinking positively. With a positive attitude, we experience more of a pleasant feeling that brings energy, brightness, and happiness to our eyes as well as success. So Prencis definitely shined through her days since she started just weeks ago. Positive thinking is contagious and Prencis has definitely brought her energy into our office by affecting the people who she would meet in one way or another. For her, it happens instinctively and on a subconscious level, through words, thoughts and feelings, and through body language. 

We are all so proud of you!

Thursday Night Hangouts!

We had a couple of our other offices visiting us yesterday night, so we all decided to go network with each other and to just have a relaxing evening. Even though we all work hard, we all still need to remember to enjoy some things in life and to build those great relationships with out business partners. The great thing about our company is that everyone has their own goals but are always willing to give out a helping hand. Every person in the room last night had an amazing time full of stories and laughter. Let's continue to build memories and the wonderful relationships we already have with one and another.

Unstoppable Partnerships

For a partnership to be successful each member needs to feel a sense of support and optimism about the collaboration. When partnerships are supportive they are infused with hope. What sustains motivation is the belief that with partnership things can only get better. When you feel supported in a partnership they become inspired to more clearly visualize the process of achieving the goal. It is essential that the partnership be grounded in an unwavering belief in the integrity of the goals and values of the desired purpose.

Trust is a basic need for a successful partnership. All partners need to know the relationship is collaborative, loyal and solid. If the partnership is in need of support or guidance, the partners trust they can come together in a way where needs and concerns can be met and realized. Elite partnerships are made up of people who view each other as necessary equals and show mutual respect for each other's differences. They find ways to focus on solutions, not problems and are committed to open communication to keep things together.

In successful partnerships, there is an unceasing commitment to equality, diversity and flexibility. Each member leads by example, has sense of personal freedom and an undying commitment to the goals at hand. Collaboration is build upon open and honest communication, direct and consistent interaction and the personal time to think things through. Each person understand their role in the relationship dynamic and what each must do to be successful. Each member is fully supported and encouraged by the partnership to fulfill all of their individual and collective goals. In this way a successful partnership is made up of strong individuals being supported in a collaborative and collective relationship dynamic where all are striving towards shared success.

Be Your Own Boss

Imagine a life in which you can live on your own terms, have the freedom to choose how you spend your time and the projects on which you work. With enough planning, patience and determination, this situation can be yours. While self-employment can be tough at times, as it comes with its own problems, stress and setbacks, the sense of accomplishment and pride you'll derive from it is worth the investment.

Why should you be your own boss?
1. The flexibility to work anywhere because you can choose your location you want to work in and with your laptop or iPad, you can work anywhere.
2. Do work that you enjoy because we spend about 80% of our lifetime spent working. So while you're working, why shouldn't you have fun? Be an entrepreneur and get paid to do something that you actually enjoy.
3. You have the opportunity to create jobs for others. There's no greater accomplishment than being able to support others to help them pay their bills and feed their families.
4. You will leave a legacy behind for your family and close ones. Working for yourself is an adventure. It will provide you with great stories to tell, wisdom to impart and a reason for people to remember and to respect you.

Mindset of Success

Mindset is probably the major determinant of success in pretty much every walk of life. In other words, the thinking patterns you habitually adopt largely govern the results you achieve. But different cirsumstances and situations require different mindsets, something that anyone looking to leave paid employment and strike out on their own, must be aware of. Unfortunately, not all would-be entrepreneurs understand the dramatic mindset shifts required, without which business success is unlikely.
