We're not trying to be religious but there is a "Cash Flow Revival" happening right here in the good old California.

When things are stagnant in our lives we hope for good change to come and come quickly. In a nut shell we are hoping for a revival of some sort. We could be dying spiritually and it would be okay to hope to be revived. We could be physically sick and it would be okay to hope to be revived. We could be in a hopeless marriage or relationship and it would be okay to hope for it to be revived. We could be in a dead end job and it would be okay to hope for it to be revived. Many Americans have been in a financial slump and have been hoping for their finances to be revived.

The news I'll share with you isn't new. There are people all over the country who have experienced their cash flow being revived. They have been getting new jobs, starting new businesses, receiving inheritances and even making money through their investments such as Real Estate and Stocks and Bonds.

The Cash Flow Revival I'm talking about is among those who had limited choices and were "between a rock and a hard place." These folks were the ones who beyond the shadow of all doubt were not expected to make it through tough times.

So just what did these people discover? They discovered that they didn't have to remain consumers in a consumer driven society. They put themselves right smack dab in the middle of the majority of transactions they and others were making everyday. They discovered that being the middleman on transactions wasn't just reserved for the rich.

Even in a tough economy, cash continues to flow. Where it flows is what makes the difference in our lives. Most often when things are flush for the greater majority, we settle for the trickles that come our direction because the trickles in a good economy look just like a "good flow." Trickles no more! This is what the Cash Flow Revivalists are saying. They have determined that there is no shortage of money, it's just been redirected to those who know how to get it flowing their direction.

Can you imagine money in the hands of those who have Godly purposes on their mind? Can you imagine the number of people they help just because they realize they themselves were just that close to being without? These Cash Flow Revivalists are not all from a particular company or ethnic group. They are spread though out the United States just looking for people to help revive their cash flow situations.

There is a lost group of people who need a Cash Flow Revival and the best thing about it is they don't have to wonder if their situation can be changed for the better. It's the good old adage, "we're looking for people who are looking for us."

Here's something for you to consider. You just might be a Cash Flow Revivalist yourself. If you've been able to redirect the flow of cash that was destined to pass you by, you're a Cash Flow Revivalist. Now go help somebody else discover that they don't have to be trapped in this consumer driven society. Go show those who are looking for a way out the way to financial freedom.

If you're looking for a way out, know that there are people who want to help. Isn't it amazing how life works? The people who can help us show up at the oddest times. Better than that is showing up in the lives of those we can help.

Stay blessed,

Most of us know what it is to be broke. Either we have experienced it personally or we know somebody who has been or is broke. Being broke is just a temporary stage in life when a person doesn't have the money they need for a need, want or desire. Poverty is an entirely different animal.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Poverty refers to the condition of not having the means to afford basic human needs such as clean water, nutrition, health care, education, clothing and shelter.[1][2] This is also referred to as absolute poverty or destitution. Relative poverty is the condition of having fewer resources or less income than others within a society or country, or compared to worldwide averages.

Can you imagine good wholesome hardworking middle class people being in a place where they couldn't afford basic human needs? Honestly, for me it's hard to imagine.


Statistics from The World Bank

The current financial turndown has meant a slower rate of poverty reduction. This year, fewer people will leave poverty as a consequence.

Will poverty reach up to the middle class and pull down people who have hit hard times? It's time to wage war on poverty. A group of entrepreneurs in my city have come together with a sensible plan to knock poverty to it's knees. We're looking for those in cities around the nation who want to change their cities by waging war on poverty.

Starting a blog off with the word "Wow" is generally used to grab the attention of the reader really quick. In the case of this blog, I won't start it off with "Wow" but I do want to get your attention.

Here we go. "Cash Flow is King" is a phrase many of us have heard of. The truth of the matter is that it is king in the lives of those who have it. Those who don't have it just sit around wishing for a little cash to come their direction.

The economy is said to be getting better by some and getting worse by others. We can sit around all day and debate this issue but the reality is it does us no good if at the end of the day cash flow in our lives is like a drip from a faucet. Maybe you're like most people who want a flow of cash in their lives and not just a drip like from a faucet.



Okay Ced, you're just talking loud just like the guys debating if the economy will get better or worse. Don't you have a solution Mr. Ced? Well, I'm glad you asked. I do.

When you look at goods and services and how they get to the end user we have to realize it's been an industry that's made it all possible. Yeah, there are several we could choose from but the one that I'm talking about is "advertising." You see it's advertising that helps us and prompts us to make the decisions we make.

The challenge today is that we have seen so much advertising that we are turning the channel when they show up. We flip the switch to off on our radios or we just lower the volume to not hear the same old commercial again. Here's what you don't know. The advertisers know you're tired of hearing their stale pitches and they have been searching high and low to find a new way for you to buy their goods and services.

I know, I know, you want me to get to the point. I will. But read this first. Advertising is how businesses get us to buy their goods and services. Without it, they would be up the proverbial "creek without a paddle." On the other side of things we would not know how to distinguish what's good and what's not. So we have to conclude advertisers need us and we need them.

Here's the bottom line. When advertisers finally realized that the old adage of "word of mouth advertising is the best form of advertising," the smart ones have begun to put their money into the hands of the ones who spoke highly of their goods and services to their friends, families and associates. We're not talking chump change, we're talking major money.

Here's how it works. Instead of spending money on traditional advertising like billboards, T.V. radio and even the internet, big businesses began looking for organizations with big data bases they could tap into and pay referral fees to these organizations when their constituents bought goods and services.

Now watch this. The deal gets even better. There is one profession that takes what the advertisers were wanting to do to an entirely different level. The advertisers want customers right? Well the profession I'm talking about not only has customers, they have customers who remain loyal for years because of the business model they're connected with. You see this business model pays them month in and month out to use the goods and services they prefer, recommend them to others and sponsor others to use and recommend the same goods and services.

Although the concept is not new, the advertisers do realize they have been running into a brick wall because the old method of advertising was just causing them to swap customers with their competitors every few months. The advertising war has come to the point where it's futile for advertisers to put all their ad budgets in traditional media.

So now imagine this with me. Company "A" comes along and has several hundred thousand loyal customers just waiting to spend their money with a great majority of the advertisers Company "A" recommends. The reason they are so anxious to spend their money is because they know they will be getting paid from Company "A". Here's the deal. Company "A" gets paid royally for every loyal customer they deliver to the advertisers. All the advertisers have done is restructure their ad budget and hold back a portion to pay out only after a loyal customer is acquired.

Corporate America and Network Marketing have finally crossed paths. This new way of doing business is here and is presently helping people all over the world earn money on the goods and services they presently use every month. Not only that they are earning money from recommending the same goods and services to others as well as sponsoring others to do what they do. This is absolute genius.

With all the good I've spoken of,the sad thing is that some people will look at this new way of doing business as a flute and not take it serious. Keep in mind the same thing was said of the stock market when it started, franchises when they started, big box stores when they started and just about every new way of making life more convenient. Can you see how cash flow has changed in our economy?

When we've worked hard we expect to get paid.  But when we don't get paid as much,  alternative businesses and services start becoming viable options.  Why are so many working just as hard or harder and not getting paid nearly as much money as in the past? 

Sure there are some folks who have continued to thrive during the economic slow down.  But what happens to the ones who just don't seem to "get the breaks?"  Sooner or later they either breakthrough or they start looking for other things to do. 

Alternative businesses and services such as MLM or Network Marketing are becoming the choice of professionals in Real Estate and other Financial Services.  Years ago it was looked at as taboo for professionals to be caught dead doing Network Marketing. 

Since the Network Marketing business model has been embraced by Fortune 500 companies and some of the richest men and women in America, professionals from every background have started to take notice.  When men like Donald Trump, Robert Kiyosaki and Warren Buffett started endorsing the profession of Network Marketing, credibility became instant.  So consequently business professionals had to stop and take notice.

The game is changing though.  Because business professionals are entering Network Marketing, the way Network Marketing is being done is changing.  It's no surprise that the profession is getting a long overdue makeover. 

This may sound simplistic but professionals have insisted on "more professionalism" if they were expected to recruit their professional friends and associates to join them in Network Marketing.  This has actually been a fresh air.  Men and women who have been accustomed to making six figures and above could never imagine making that kind of money in Network Marketing.

After nearly 60 years of being in existence, the Network Marketing profession has finally been recognized as a viable business model.  It's like a franchise but much less expensive in every way pertaining to business.

Alternative businesses and services are being done in a variety of ways today.  But the most intriguing of all the business models being looked at by professionals today is Network Marketing. What has been seen as "extra money" for people is now being seriously looked at as "big money" for professionals

More and more average workers are looking for new alternatives to make ends meet.  Some are taking on part-time jobs while others are exploring new alternative business options.  In many cases these same people are taking on more than one part-time job.  The question is, "what happens to a family when mom and/or dad are always at work?"

It's surely a tough call for parents these days.  Money is needed to live and their primary jobs are providing just enough so they don't quit and not enough for them to get ahead.  When it comes to the new alternative business options, these workers are taking a look at, you won't believe this..."Network Marketing."  Seriously, Network Marketing is a profession that people from all walks of life are investigating.  Stay at home moms and dads to CEO's of major companies to politicians are joining Network Marketing Companies everyday to supplement and in some cases replace their income.

New alternative business options are more than a notion.  People know that change is necessary and they are no longer too proud to investigate the claims of their friends.  Just imagine, your neighbor has lost their job and you noticed that their lifestyle has actually gotten better.  One might ask, "what's going on?"  They just might have joined a Network Marketing company.  You know what the old saying is, "if you can't beat em, join em."  What will you do?

It's absolutely amazing how many people are looking for alternative businesses.  The term alternative businesses wasn't nearly as popular 5 years ago as it is today.  Workers and business owners alike are looking for alternative ways to maintain and increase their income.

No longer are people relying on one income to get by.  There used to be a day when only one person in the household was the bread winner.  But when the cost of living began to increase, it took more than one income.  Husbands and wives began to both work outside the home.

Today with even husbands and wives working outside the home, alternative business options have become well sought after by hundreds of thousands of people.  Where to turn is the question.  There are so many opportunities on the internet and who knows which one to choose.

One of the wonderful alternative business options is online advertising.  Advertising has taken on a different way of attracting loyal customers.  It's called referral advertising or referral marketing.  Advertisers have set budgets that will be spent.  What some have done is set aside a portion of their advertising budgets to pay for customers brought to them from referral sources.

The good thing about referral sources in the eyes of advertisers is that they don't have to pay any money up front to the referrers.  They only pay the referrers when they deliver loyal customers.  Here's what's the neat thing about that.  The referrers are able to get nice bonuses because the dollars they are paid from the already existing budgets.

Now comes the way to get involved with an alternative business.  There is a company that sits right in the middle of this new way of gathering new customers.  You can participate for a very small annual fee.  You can earn upwards of thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.  There is a 9 year old company that has marketing relationships with many Fortune 500 companies and have a structure in place to pay average ordinary people to become the middleman on their own transactions and the transactions of others.

Ministry and and entrepreneurialism is coming to the forefront in churches across the country. Where do you fit in?

It's been a joy to be an Entrepreneurial Pastor for the last 15 years right here in Chino, CA. It's sad that I never gave it a thought that there were other entrepreneurs who also had a passion for ministry.

In the last several months a group of nearly 300 people have gathered together in a group called the Entrepreneurial Ministers Network on Facebook. This was all the proof I needed to know that there were others who were desiring to find out where they fit in the body of Christ.

Interviews and conversations have been had. Now it's time to conduct some serious training on Entrepreneurial Ministry.

You've probably heard the quote,"the elephant in the room." Well there is an elephant in our churches and it's called "Network Marketing." The question is how should we address it?

It seems like every year I get somebody calling me regarding some new fabulous Network Marketing company. They talk about all the benefits it will have for our church. They talk about how it will raise funds for the church and they talk about how I can be the biggest beneficiary. Now don't get me wrong, I actually think Network Marketing is a viable profession and I think there is some truth to what the people say to me who want me to join their Network Marketing company.

Here's a challenge I face. What if..., just what if somebody in our congregation is in another Network Marketing company and they just haven't approached me? Get this. What if they were with the same company as this unknown person pitching me on their opportunity? This could open up a can of worms that could lead to a lot of chaos.

Now let me share a few of my thoughts about the "elephant in our church."

1. I am not amazed of the number of people who have at least dabbled with Network Marketing in our church over the years and still do. My prayer them is to be bold about their opportunity just like they would about any other business they would be involved with.

2. I've even taught a special class on"Networking God's Way" for business owners. The goal was to give Biblical instruction about how Jesus built the biggest network in the world and how they could use networking as a tool to evangelize the world.

3. I openly welcome people to talk to me about their Network Marketing business. It gives me an opportunity to minister to them and help them discover God's purpose for using them in business.

4. I don't mind Network Marketers approaching congregation members. It gives the opportunity for iron to sharpen iron...lol.

5. I am an "Entrepreneurial Pastor" and I am also a Network Marketer. The only person I've ever sponsored in our church is my son. I am very open about my business to those who inquire but I don't seek to promote it to our congregants. It would be a rare congregant I would consider being involved with as their pastor and their business partner.

In closing let me say that as the economy has slumped, people are praying for God to give them a way to increase their financial situations. They are not so sure even if their present job/career situation is stable. They are not sure what companies they should consider approaching. Some people think about starting a business but they lack the thousands of dollars to get started.

The elephant in our churches is not going away. Network Marketing is moving more and more to the main stream. People from all segments of society are involved from high dollar executives to laborers. They are the same people in our churches. The reality is that people are considering various options and Network Marketing has become one of those options. My belief is that in appropriate situations, just like we would refer a member to a "job" we know about, it would be okay to refer member looking for a business opportunity to a Network Marketer.

We have a unique opportunity to be a great blessing to our congregants when we look to help them in ways beyond their spiritual growth. If pastors or their delegated leaders take the time to learn the truth about Network Marketing, the "elephant our churches" will no longer be a "side bar issue" in our churches.

Stay blessed,

Ced Reynolds, Entrepreneurial Pastor

Blogging is kind of interesting.  Have you ever thought of the number of people who actually look at your blog and don't make comments?  Believe me they do exist.  They do see it and many of them do read your blog.  Just because you are not getting as many comments as you would like, know that you've got readers.

You would be amazed how the same blog in different networks get totally different responses.  I've blogged here in this network and gotten "no" responses and I've used the same blog in different networks and got overwhelming responses. (Notice I didn't name any networks...lol).  That's to give you a chance to respond to this blog.

Seriously, I want to encourage you to continue to blog.  Another key is to comment on the blogs of interest to you.  We bloggers tend to return the favor when a fellow blogger makes a comment on our blog.  In fact, a lot of new friendships are created and believe it or not sometimes new business comes from just being nice to another blogger.

In closing, just because you don't see comments on your blog doesn't mean you don't have readers.

Keep on blogging,

Ced Reynolds

 

 

Using audio in your marketing campaign can mean the difference between night and day. Working on the internet is a wonderful tool but it has limited emotional connection unless you're a wonderful writer. The best of writers can do well without audio but us who just write OK can use all the help we can get.

I know many people talk about video being better than audio. In my opinion video is a little bit more complicated because you have to prepare to be seen and heard vs. just preparing to be heard on audio. I've done both and actually do both. But the media I prefer which is much faster to prepare for and also get others to participate with me is audio.

Let's get back to the benefits of using audio.

1. Audio can bring an emotional connection with your audience that gives them a sense of who you are.

2. Audio allows you to tell your story in your own words to those who prefer hearing a voice rather than reading.

3. Audio gives your clients another option to better understand what you are communicating.

4. Audio along with the written word reinforces what you intend to communicate.

5. Audio adds a little flare to your presentation.

6. Audio sets you apart from your competitors.

7. Audio gives you a professional advantage.

8. Audio says to your clients that you care enough to go the extra mile.

9. Audio intrigues your client because it's different.

10. Audio helps you learn your craft because you want to impress those who listen.

There are lots of fun things you can do with audio. I use it because it's quick to set up and it gives me an upfront advantage when I'm trying to connect with first time readers of my blog. Hope you received something of value here.

Stay after it,

Ced Reynolds
