Greetings from Bangkok, Thailand! Two weeks ago I was a big, fat ‘NO’ to taking this trip. I had plenty of valid reasons and excuses as to why this was an insane and illogical opportunity to accept. But then I was reminded of the power of being a 'YES'.

Will you jump off the fence already?

 

Show Up For Success started last night and it was awesome. We have a fantastic group of business owners and sales professionals who are committed to becoming masters of networking and Confident Connectors. The only thing missing was you.

And guess what? It's NOT too late for you to get in! That's right, I'm keeping registration open through midnight tonight because I want you to join us. As soon as you register I'll send you the recording from Session 1 so you'll be right on track. 

 

Here's what you'll get in Show Up for Success:

• My proven formula for networking that will make you a money-making people magnet – even if you are shy, bashful or introverted
• The ability to make connections with ease and confidence in any situation
• A new understanding of your relationship to Abundance that will empower you to create and receive wealth
• A simple plan to add new contacts to your network quickly
• Instant connections to an insanely talented group of business professionals

Richard, I believe networking is an art that you can master, and I would love to teach you the tools I used to overcome my own fears, doubts and worries about connecting. These are the very same tools that I discovered and practice that have transformed me from a shy, broke guy into a confident, networking expert who has created several six-figure businesses and organizations over the last five years.

 

But don't just take it from me. Here's what a few Show Up for Success Alumni are saying:

 

“Now I'm averaging 40 new conversations a month that are leading to new business, proposals, speaking and sponsoring opportunities. Thank you Richard! "  Shellie Porter, CEO, She Caters

 

“I’ve implemented your strategies for connecting and I am more confident and I know it shows. I regularly get people to take my calls and requests for proposals are on the rise!” Dan Swords, Owner, Dan’s Words

 

"Signing up for Show Up for Success is one of the top best decisions I have ever made! Now I understand I am in the business of acting and not just another actor.” Jennifer Raquel Breslin, Founder of The Disciplined Actor

Richard, jump off the fence and register here: Show Up For Success

If you are serious about building your business and you know that networking is part of your plan, then this program is absolutely for you. If you land just one new client because of the new skills you learn in Show Up for Success then it will have been worth it. Right?

The thing is, I believe you have the potential to do so much more but you'll never know unless you join us!

(VIDEO) Are you rejecting the Universe?

“Hey Universe, thanks but I don’t need any more connections!” said, no successful business owner ever.

I have a gift for you!

My birthday, circa 1980

 
It's my birthday and the greatest gift to me is the opportunity to help you! Over the last several weeks, I've had lots of conversations with people about my Business Mastermind Intensive taking place this Friday and Saturday.

From this I've learned that many business owners and sales people are struggling. With what?

• Self-doubt
• Negative beliefs about themselves and the concept of "selling"
• Fear of rejection
• Not making enough money

Many would rather not network or dare to stand in front of a group to talk about their business. And asking for the sale seems more terrifying or repulsive than death itself.

The result? They are not creating quality new connections or leveraging their existing network. This means not enough conversations nor the amount of sales they need to turn a profit. And when this is the norm people who need help are left in the lurch and money is being left on the table.

Is this you? If so, I want to give YOU a present for my birthday. I've opened up a few spots on my calendar and am offering you the gift of a Business Breakthrough Call with me. Together let's take a look at what is keeping you  from truly connecting in a powerful way and how you can instead show up for success and make more money in the process. On the call you'll:

• Identify one obstacle that is holding you back in your business
• Get clear on the results you want to produce in the next 12 months
• Discover the steps that will help you reach your sales goals
• Convert your fear of rejection into confidence

Do you accept my birthday gift to you? Access my calendar here to schedule your call. I can't wait to help you create a business breakthrough!

The Power of Choice

“Entrenched thought forms are like a buildup of plaque on our consciousness.”

 ~ Marianne Williamson

I have choice on my mind. Let me explain what I mean. Over the last month I’ve spoken with my private clients and tons of new people at the many workshops, networking events and seminars I’ve attended. Here’s what I noticed: people are struggling with being “overwhelmed.”

To be overwhelmed literally means you are drowning beneath a huge mass. Have you ever said, "I can't take this! I'm so overwhelmed!" But are you truly drowning? No, this is just an entrenched thought form; a way of reacting to the arrival of new opportunity, responsibility or crisis. So really it’s a learned choice (habit) to respond in a way that makes you feel like you are drowning. Sounds crazy, right? Why would you purposely and consciously choose to drown? 

Watch this month’s message to get my take on choice and my simple formula to stop the overwhelm.

Let Freedom Reign!

Happy Fourth of July! This is always one of my favorite holidays. When I think of what our forefathers did to create a system of government that was meant to provide justice and freedom for all, it just blows me away. What they did was not conventional and absolutely disruptive. They turned the world upside down. Yet they took a stand and held their ground and today you and I enjoy the fruits of their labor.

But do you have that same commitment to your own business? Are you raising your flag and refusing to back down when the going gets rough?

(VIDEO) Do you do you?

A fascinating aspect of being a coach is noticing when patterns arise in what my clients are dealing with on their journeys. One that keeps surfacing is the idea of self-care. Or, more accurately, the lack of it because taking care of others is the “right thing” to do. While that is indeed a noble concept it comes at a great price to your own quality of life and effectiveness in business. Have you noticed that the people, places and things that used to matter to you have been put on a shelf because you are too busy pleasing other people?

Case in point, I recently attended an emergency preparedness training. The Army Sergeant who led the course repeatedly stressed that in a disaster you must take care of yourself first so you can then tend to others who need your help around you. And in every day life, if you don’t make sure your body, mind and soul are nourished then you can’t effectively be of service to the clients that pay you and the family, friends and community that rely on you. When you don’t practice self-care you are creating the conditions for your own personal disaster.

Watch this month’s video message to see if you are a people pleaser and how can turn that around RIGHT NOW. It’s time to do you!

(VIDEO) Can tragedy build and strengthen connections?

Recently I attended a memorial service at the famed Studio 54 with my comrade in miracles and fellow business owner Damon Jacobs.

Questions Savvy Business Owners Ask Me

Business people are always asking me questions about networking. So I decided to create a weekly, short video series to address the important queries that folks like you pose about the art of creating profitable human connections.

That's why I'm excited to share with you the latest edition of: Questions Savvy Business Owners Ask Me. 

Last week I attended a fantastic multi-day event and was on the receiving end of this great question:

Richard, what types of networking events should I attend?

How would you answer? Watch the quick video (less than 2 minutes) below for my response:

March 2014 Newsletter Message: People Are the Conduits of Money

We’re practically running through the Raleigh-Durham airport praying that we don’t miss our flight. The security clearance line is atrocious and the prospect of missing our flight is thick in the air.

Our destination is Gate C20 and we have nineteen more to pass. As we scurry past each gate the three of us are chatting about the value of switching flights versus spending time at the airport waiting for a delayed flight and that’s when my colleague says, “Richard, money is a …”

(Watch this video to get the rest of the story and my networking thought for the month then be sure to finish reading the newsletter!) 

When it comes to networking I am a huge proponent of multi-day events like Be the Change. Why? Because they give you the opportunity to get to know people a little bit at a time during the course of the event. And you have the chance to establish your own Know, Like and Trust factor with potential new clients and also with those whom you already know.

As a business owner I want to be around a successful, proven expert like Suzanne Evans and 1,000 entrepreneurs who are eager to learn, grow and expand their businesses. And I want to take in new knowledge and rub elbows with top entrepreneurs running established six and seven figure businesses. That is what I call a good investment of my time and money. What about you?

This year I’m honored to be a sponsor and breakout speaker at Be the Change! And that means I have a limited number of tickets to share with my community. That’s why I’m inviting you to join me in Las Vegas this April as part of Team Richard Oceguera Coaching. Here is all the information you need to get registered with a COMPLIMENTARY TICKET. While we’re there I’ll be sure to find ways to connect you to amazing people so you can expand your own business ecosystem. Join us!
