Leo Wisniewski

  • Leo talks about "Personal Improvement: Time Versus Goal Management" with Mary Erlain of Leadership Management International.
  • Mary has a medical background but for her, it has always been about helping people so she took the skills that she learned in medicine and is just applying it in a different way.
  • LMI looks at people in 2 ways. First, is the total person and takes a look at the areas of satisfaction and dissatisfaction in people's lives. They focus on goals, not only the business world but develop mentally and personally. They look at people not just from various aspects aspects:
  1. Physical and health
  2. Family and home
  3. Spiritual and ethical
  4. Mental and educational
  5. Financial and career
  6. Social and cultural
  • Second would be the total leader concept, in order for us to be great leaders, we need to be:
  1. Productive and effective in what we do
  2. Have good personal leadership skills
  3. Motivation
  4. Forward thinking
  • Personal productivity is the foundational principle to learn to live our lives for managing goals. LMI helps develop people to be more effective and that's doing the right things in the right priority. Its learning what are the high pay-off activities and those are the activities that drive income in our lives.
  • Income in business is measured by revenue, or dollars, or number of clients. Income in our personal lives are intangible and often times priceless. How much time are we spending in the areas that drive income in our lives is the foundational principle of really setting smart goals.
  • The space repetition, the measurement of results, the focus on how much time we spend on high pay off activities - that is where results become extremely tangible. Using 4-10 minutes of your time each day to plan, you can gain 4-10 minutes back.
  • You can get in touch with Mary by accessing her website PeakMarketingSales.com or http://www.lmi-riverside.com/. Her phone number is (630) 768-1422.

11/16/10 - Home Care, Home Values, Election Winner, & Innovation

Hosts: Leo Wisniewski, Lauren Milligan and Jacqueline Camacho-Ruiz

Guests:

Joyce Zelazik of Coldwell Banker - Honig Bell

Leo Wisniewski

  • Leo talks to Jim Flickinger of BrightStar about "Home Care".
  • Jim has been involved for 25 years with a regional engineering firm but after the economic crisis back 2008, they cut the company in half, after which he resigned from his post. After looking into starting a business of his own, he came up with the idea of starting BrightStar business locally. BrightStar is multi tiered in the services it provides. The basic core services it provides are senior care or seniors in their family members in their home. They have medical nurses oversight on all the cases. As a result, they can have medical staffing and medical personnel placement in virtually any medical facility that would need our personnel. They also have the Kid Care service line. All of this related to BrightStar serving the client well.
  • Jim works with her wife, Judy,who is their director of nursing and business is going very well. The volume of people they serve locally is more than they expected. They have around 100 clients they are serving in their homes in various capacities. They also provide live-in care givers for families that need somebody living in the premises or the short time services, 1 or 2 hours a day for families that just need help.
  • Most of their clients come from referrals from medical establishments. Once patients are discharged, they would refer to another medical establishment that would continue treatment. They are very dependent on referrals but they also do direct advertising and other various marketing and advertising devices.
  • If someone has a parent, a grandparent that needs just a little bit of help at the beginning but over time, they might need a little bit more this would be a perfect client for BrightStar. They can start out with whatever they need and if the needs adjust, BrightStar will adjust with them. With their help, the bulk of their clients are able to stay in their homes and the family has a peace of mind knowing the person is remaining safely in their home with BrightStar's help.
  • They also offer a 24/7 hot line for consultation about their services and to cater to the needs of their clients. Their business terms are simple. They don't ask for any deposit, no service contracts. They basically go by the hour, by the day depending on the care giving needs of a particular situation
  • If you are interested about BrightStar, you can get in touch by logging on the website http://www.brightstarcare.com/ to look up any individual franchises in their area.

11/09/10 - Hire a Vet, Start a Business, & Crank Up Your Marketing

Hosts: Leo Wisniewski, Lauren Milligan and Jacqueline Camacho-Ruiz

Leo Wisniewski

  • Leo interviews Skip Marshall and talks about "SendOutCards As a Part-Time Business"
  • Skip Marshall has been in the transportation and logistics industry for more than 20 years. About 6 years ago, he had the opportunity to leave corporate America and start his own business that revolved around financial planning and business coaching for small business owners which worked out very well. After the recession last 2008, his business was greatly affected and he was loosing clients faster than he can get them. He made a decision late 2008 to close the business and return to corporate America.
  • During the time on his own, he met an individual who introduced him to SendOutCards and this would be the perfect way to keep in touch with his clients, business associates, as well as family and friends. He decided to sign up as a distributor and used it as a marketing strategy to keep in touch with his clients.
  • Skip's initial purpose for signing up as a distributor rather than just being a user was so that he could send cards for free. If he could make enough money in the SendOutCard business to pay for the cards he sent out, he was going to be happy. He became known as "the card guy" because he sends out around a couple of hundred cards in a month.
  • SendOutCards is a multi-level company that is something everybody does, is cheaper, better, faster, than going to a store and buying a card. This would be the best thing for somebody who is looking for a "plan B". You can do this very passively, or you can make it into a full time business. People even sign up for your business because they like the card you sent and they saw your signature at the back of the card.
  • You can get in touch with Skip Marshall by visiting his website www.SendOutCards.com/skipmarshall or email him at skipmarshall@comcast.net

11/02/10 - Improve Performance, Extra Income, Take Control, & Success Tips

Hosts: Leo Wisniewski, Lauren Milligan and Jacqueline Camacho-Ruiz

Guests:

Michael Cooper of Sales Kitchen

Leo Wisniewski

  • Leo talks about "SendOutCards Income Lifeline"
  • SendOutCards is like a "Swiss army knife" that you can use on any occasion to send out cards. Its is a great convenience because you send out real cards and not e-cards right through your internet browser. Another aspect of the SendOutCard business is that it is a referral only business. This means you can only use SendOutCards if you get introduced to it and brought up to speed on how to use it through a qualified distributor.
  • You can also use SendOutCards as a way to earn some extra income. All you have to do is help others start with SendOutCards. Show them how to use the system and provide on- going support and training
  • Sales person usually have a hard time with SendOutCards since they take on a sales approach rather than a teaching approach. Leo notices that the most successful people that improve their SendOutCards business are the people who are used to helping others.
  • SendOutCards is a great option to earn income in two ways. If you help someone get started, you get a weekly check in the mail. In addition to that, you earn a percentage with each card, gift, or a gift-card that is sent out by your extended team
  • Leo became interested in SendOutCard because it is an open market, and its still a hidden secret. Only a few people know of it but that is going to change soon. There is no competition. The other companies have been stagnant for years but SendOutCards has been rapidly growing due to local support and the cost is way cheaper.
  • So if you are interested you can go to Leo's website www.SendOutCards.com/65112 or call (630) 240-7835
