My journey brought me to Denver, Colorado where I’ve met some amazing people, artists, and entrepreneurs. A major networking arena that I found in Denver is the Light rail. During my first few weeks, I met two people that joined forces to follow their dreams as a professional artist and actress. They have become the best of friends and working together to follow their passions in the entertainment/art niche. The key is the support they give one another.

I would like to introduce Tom Stimson. Tom has an amazing history including studying art in Europe, working as a professional artist for the past forty years, guiding international trekking in Switzerland and Tajikistan, and making a documentary film about the shamanism of the Koryak people of Kamchatka. I will share his story in detail next week. The minute I met Tom, I realized he would enlighten me and enrich my life to the painting world. During the 70′s Tom wandered Europe, central Asia, India and Nepal in pursit of his dreams. He lived with a family in Nepal for half a year before moving to Switzerland for a 5 year apprenticeship with a reknowned Swiss artist named Emil Schmid. Tom has become the greatest supporter for Actress Vivian Lie. Today’s blog will focus on her dream.

Vivian was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil. At a very young age she became fascinated with acting. What I love about Vivian is her passion to follow her heart. She started to study acting in the evenings and on weekends at the age of 13. Nothing would stop her. Vivian knew she needed to come to America to continue her dream, auditioning and networking in California, Colorado and New Mexico. Currently Vivian is working on a number of film projects in Denver. In her current project, Every November, Vivian is the lead actress for a feature film that is a drama/mystery thriller that is in the final production stage and will soon be screened in Denver. The independent filmmaker is Elgin Cahill who is presently searching for a buyer for the film.

Please check out the FEATURE FILM HERE: http://www.everynovember.com

Vivian’s website is http://www.vivianlie.com

Next week, I will go into more detail regarding Vivian’s drive to follow her dream and how Tom Stimson and she work together. During many conversations, I’ve heard Tom say that he was helped in his life with his dream as a professional painter and artist. Regardless of obstacles, with passion, drive, and focus, dreams become reality and now he is supporting Vivian to reach the stars.

Vivian’s second feature film is:
Tengu: The Immortal Blade by Asgard Entertainment

This film is an action flick set in 15th century Japan about a NinjJa Warrior named Asura who is given a magical sword by a half human/half crow creature known as a Tengu. This sword bestowed the gift of immortality, but it also came with a price. Asura was now honor bound to become a protector of our world, guarding it against the forces of darkness.

One year ago, I would have never imagined living in beautiful Boise, Idaho. The journey I’ve taken with Faith has given me the opportunity to meet personally Jack Kennedy in Austin, Texas… Pat Melfi in Salt Lake City, and the Maverick in Washington….. I’ve resided in places that were safe and at times not safe. The most important aspect is to keep my head up and live in the moment. Prepare for the future and learn from the past.

Currently, I’m still on my mission as a writer to keep searching for the missing pieces in my life. My Budhist friend tells me on a daily basis, that I’m seeking my lost friends scattered around the planet. I’m an entrepreneur on a mission. I’m a friend wanting to serve and I’m a little girl that is finding the true meaning of her life.

I have amazing friends and family throughout the country. I’ve also been adopted in Idaho. One of greatest mentors, and my best friend told me last week that you can become whomever you desire. You set your goals on paper. Sometimes you don’t know how you are going to reach those goals but with hard work, passion, strategy, and marketing..You can reach your goals.

A few years ago, I was sitting in Kentucky, looking outside the window. It was snowing lightly and my goal was to grow my marketing business. Now that business has offered me the opportunity to work with some of the TOP marketers on the planet..including…well…I have to share those stories in the next coming weeks.
I am a teacher by trade, and a woman that loves to share her joy for life with the world.

When I was in Nauvoo, IL, last Labor Day. I sat and prayed by the Mississippi River. I had this overwhelming feeling to head West. I needed to stretch my wings and fly. I don’t regret one second of my journey but now i’m going to highlight it for the world to read. The people that have changed my lives and most importantly the children. My passion is to empower children.

When I took that first step forward and was working Salt Lake. I met an amazing Producer. My energy and our passion are joining forces with the world to create his Foundation over the next ten years. This Billion Dollar Endowment will raise money with the Music Industry and promote the empowerment of children. Elizabeth Smart, Diana Ross, and many more people are involved.

I will be writing with my partner in crime Daryl Alison in Austin, Texas. Together we will share with you the MuzArt Foundation and Each One Teach One Endowment fund! Daryl is a phenomonal writer and his enthusiasm and spirit grows my passion daily.

What if I never took action? What if I never followed my dreams and heart. I would not be sitting tonight in Boise, Idaho launching a Social Media Campaign that will empower millions of children. Yes, we do have set-backs but most importantly if you look forward to the future. Learn from your mistakes and continue onward….Dreams become reality!

Robert Frost!
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

I realized at a very young age if you want to achieve your dreams in any career, and be successful, you SHOULD study the greatest entrepreneurs in your field.

I remember sitting in Northern Kentucky and researching Marketers around the world. The first marketer that mentored me was Angela Giles from San Diego, CA! During the beginning stages we interviewed a direct student of Yaro Starak.

As time progressed, I focused my strengths in marketing and networking both online and offline in Cincinnati, OH.

When I was offered the opportunity to work for Russell Brunson, I left Cincinnati to follow my dreams to empower millions of people around the world. I was a teacher that embarked on a dream to empower entrepreneurs, and now my path has led me to the Great West! I landed in Boise on New Year’s Eve and began a new chapter in my life.

Now I’m in week 2, and so blessed for this opportunity to work directly with the DotComSecrets team LIVE in Boise.

I am currently working on 2 major projects for ElizabethCobb.com. It will be launching in the near future. I am mentoring an entrepreneur in Cincinnati on How To Make Money! He is 14 years old and very driven.

In addition, I’m launching a survival guide for 2012 with an expert in Survival Techniques with no resources at hand.

Remember, it is VERY important to follow your dreams. The opportunity at DotComSecrets is life changing and I’m excited to share with you my adventures as I navigate through the Wild West!

Sincerely,

‘Twas the first of September in ’45
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous date and year?

Two young girls fresh from training,
Had left their Iowa home
To come to Michigan and seek their fortune,
In Midland, never more to roam.

Their names were Dobratz and Sinclair.
But they soon were husband hunting.
And ended up within a year
As Mrs. Weiler and Mrs. Bunting.

The months went past becoming years,
And still they remained, the little dears.
They like the Hospital and all the girls
Those with straight hair and those with curls.

But now the are leaving.
For reasons obvious to all.
And they can’t help grieving
As they sit looking at the wall.

But come June they will both be crazy with job.
Because-you guessed it-
They’ll be BOUNCING THEIR OWN LITTLE BOY!!!!

Friendship

Friendship is
A beautiful thing.
It’s the flowers that grow;
It’s the birds that sing.

Some friends come,
And some friends go,
But a special friendship
Will continue to grow.

When you’re with your friends
You can laugh or cry,
And you won’t be judged
By a critical eye.

You can tell those dark secrets
You wish weren’t true.
And your friends will still
Be there for you.

Friends may be many,
Friends may be few
How many you have
Is up to you.

Yes, friendship is
A beautiful thing.
When you’re with your friends,
Your heart will sing…

Dedicated to my friend many miles away! Thank you friend! I am blessed for you in my life.

Time Management is the word of the day! We all have insane schedules, meetings to attend, family obligations, and find time to sleep! Did I forget to mention grocery shopping? Networking Tip: it is encouraged to meet people for a 1:1 appointment, and build relationships face to face. It may be hard to set appointments with individuals when both schedules are extremely busy. In result, Elizabeth Cobb and Steve Caminiti are night owls and included in their schedule a 1:1 @ 2 AM in the morning over the phone! The point to the story…. I would like to introduce Steve Caminiti to YOU! Steve is a fellow Rainmaker in Cincinnati and…….

“He was voted Funniest Man in Cincinnati by his peers, Funniest Person in Ohio by Showtime Cable Network, and picked as Best Comedian in Cincinnati by both Cincinnati Magazine and City Beat Magazine.”

Steve taught me an excellent lesson about implementation, 2 days prior to an event I organized in Cincinnati. Steve helped by inviting Jim Breech to my event as a celebrity guest to raise money for our charity with Rupert’s Kids and Rita Kuntz. Steve met me on a Thursday, before the event, and said, “Sure, Elizabeth, I will call you later this afternoon with confirmation.” I was amazed because I am the queen of implementation, and I met Jim Breech in person on June 1. Steve has hired me to be his Social Media Diva and we are going to be working special projects this upcoming year raising money for a variety of charities around Cincinnati!

Steve is a True Italian Networker. If you need something, he knows a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a guy…………….. Most importantly, Steve has an amazing heart for people! This past Sunday, he was the host of a Poker Run, and Concert in Memory of Sydney Monet…. The proceeds were benefiting Artworks in Camp Livingston.

We are going to sign off tonight because it is now 2:14 AM and we need to sleep!

Good Night Cincinnati!

My marketing career began in the network marketing industry. I was determined to be a successful network marketing, and attracted business with Social Media. In result, currently, I personally write copy and work directly with leaders of the network marketing industry. In addition, I work for an International Marketing Firm! Today, I interviewed Dean Manheimer! He is the North American Leader of Dubli.com, and our stories share a common bond. We introduced traditional business practices into our network marketing business. Lastly, our desire to find success would not allow failure as an option!

Dean Manheimer graduated from Arizona State University, and began his business career as a Retail Chain General Merchandise Manager. He was responsible for a 85 Million dollar Division. He worked in traditional business, and ran the consolidation/operational side of the division. During the next 15 years he experienced the life of traditional business…… Something was missing in his career? Dean wanted full control of his life and became an entrepreneur………………………………..

Dean purchased a few companies, built strategic partnerships, owned restaurants, finished contractor in constructions niche, introduced to city government, used his capital at risk, liability exposure!! Lastly, was introduced to network marketing! I really enjoy Dean’s perception of network marketing. Network marketing is a different distribution channel for various products and services ultimately transferred to the end user.

Dean failed during the first two years when he started his network marketing business. FAILURE was not an OPTION! He had the tenacity and stamina to continue. Elizabeth Cobb had the same determination! Dean said: “One day I woke up! Maybe I’m not as smart as I thought?” He started to listen to people in the industry, and included in his overall business plan the discipline he learned from the traditional business world. The third year he made 6 figures, and Dean said: we’ve been blessed with seven figures! Taking on the challenge is the best part of the game in life!

My final question to Dean: What advice do you offer “newbie” network marketers?

“If you want to be successful you must understand, YOU need to be a servant to other people! We teach, if the product does right, is applicable in peoples everyday lives, you will be successful! If I’m a servant. I serve them to make sure I do everything to help them be successful… If I go at my business with only personal gain at mind, I won’t be successful in the long term. The KEY is serving others and providing them with a quality PRODUCT! Dean is a leader in North America with Dubli. Dubli’s Dubli’s business model is significantly different than the traditional network marketing model.

If you don’t offer value to the consumer, they don’t need you! You have the opportunity to make incredible income by bringing value to millions of consumers and their families!!!!

Thank you Dean!! Dean will be leaving the country on Wednesday for business abroad, but when he returns…I will highlight more strategy for you to implement into your business!

In life we have crossroads and choices to make. Doors close and windows open, but most importantly, when your heart yearns for something more…… The people that run with their dreams and have faith are the Rainmakers of the world. I was feeling suffrocated in the classroom as a Special Education Teacher in Owenton, KY. I loved my students, and they taught me lessons that I will carry on throughout my life. I put my heart and soul into teaching. I was feeling a need to help millions of children. I knew this could be accomplished by becoming an entrepreneur. In addition, the same day I was first introduced to Dani Johnson in the Appalachian Mountains, I received a pink slip! WOW…. What a sign to choose the path of entrepreneurship?

April 2008: Spring Break! My friend drove down from Michigan, and we decided to take a road trip to Charlotte, NC. My brother just recently moved to Charlotte, and I was excited to visit my FAVORITE sibling! He is the greatest brother on the planet, and the two of us stick together. (He is my only sibling!) I had the entrepreneur bug and wanted to start my own marketing firm. On Spring Break, my friend and I masterminded our plan as entrepreneurs. The road trip was amazing, and I realized that for the rest of my life ElizabethCobb.com wanted to wander the planet, help as many people as possible, and be a professional blogger/Marketing Specialist. I love the song by Carrie Underwood. It describes my journey of faith!

At the time, I didn’t even realize how amazing my journey would entail, but I was ready. I remember driving on I-40 heading West to Knoxville, and my friend sharing a story about an amazing entrepreneur. The entrepreneur was Dani Johnson. I came into contact with Dani Johnson for the first time in the Appalachian Mountains!

I became very intrigued in the conversation and listened to my friend describe Dani’s biography. My friend shared Dani’s path of being so determined to accomplish her goals. Dani COLD called in Hawaii and started her business with pennies! I envisioned the same path for myself, and immediately started researching Dani. If Dani could accomplish this amazing career, Elizabeth Cobb would follow suit.

I thank Dani Johnson for being one of my first mentors. I was privileged to contact her Corporate Office and speak directly with her Executive Assistant. Dani is preparing for her LA EVENT on August 7th & 8th. In the near future, I would be honored to interview Dani Johnson directly for ElizabethCobb.com. In the meantime, please click at the link below for her event, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend with your family and friends!

We share a bond because Garth Brooks describes in his song: “The River” what TJ Couzens and Elizabeth Cobb believe in! TJ Couzens is an amazing entrepreneur and fellow Rainmaker. I drove to Indianapolis one day with three set business appointments. I am very focused on time management in my business and drove to Indianapolis with a day packed. Two of the appointments canceled, and I was honored to spend majority of the day with TJ. He laughed last night at me when we were discussing business. TJ stated he never knows what random thoughts will come out of my mouth. Particularly the situations I find myself in. I asked TJ if I could highlight him today on my blog. TJ agreed, and I was honored…..

TJ and I have a common bond. We are both from Michigan. In addition, TJ and Elizabeth Cobb believe in following our dreams as entrepreneurs. I remember meeting TJ the first time in Indy at a Rainmakers Main Event. I approached him and he called me a few days later. From that point on, we have worked together on various projects and built a strong friendship. He is going to be a Father in a few days. I am so excited for him…

This is the TJ Couzens Story – As a young gentleman my parents went through a bitter divorce and my single mother had to earn a living by herself. We lived in Michigan and she provided for us. We grew up very poor, and learned business acumen from various individuals. Those individuals became my mentors in life, and led me to become an entrepreneur. I worked at a cheese factory in Grand Rapids, Michigan for next to nothing, at the age of 17. In the next three years, with hard work, I began as a box boy…moved up to Production…Production Manager…General Manager, and promoted as Vice President. I was a VP at the age of 20 years old. This experience taught me aspects of a small business and how to survive, with zero marketing, and eventually the company went under. I realized this is not the way to market a business, and began to research and learn behavioral marketing, psychology of humans, and how it relates to buying habits………. – A few years later I formed a business based on emotional connections and behavioral marketing concepts. Please contact TJ directly: 765-729-1952

Thank you TJ!

This afternoon I interviewed an energetic entrepreneur. He inspired me to write a blog piece to share with you his passion! A passion of being entrepreneurs during this time period when many people are afraid to start their own business…..

The first question I asked Greg: Why are you an entrepreneur? Share with my followers your strategies you have implemented in your business to be successful?

Greg stated:

“When you find something that you believe in. I recommend working it hard, believe you can achieve your dreams, and you must have faith in the Lord above! Greg described an excellent example of an entrepreneur that believed in inventing the light bulb. After Thomas Edison completed the 100th prototype for the light bulb and he didn’t stop masterminding the invention. Most people would have quit but Thomas Edison was determined. A person asked Edison why did he keep working on the light bulb? Thomas Edison said he found 100 ways it didn’t work. Edison taught an excellent lesson… It is about our MINDSET, and determination to find what does work and stop focusing on what doesn’t work. You have to focus on things that are widely acceptable.

As an entrepreneur you MUST have a broad appeal. You need to discover the need, segment, sector of a business, appeal, and demand for your products or services….By all means go for it! The internet is a wonderful tool if you leverage it properly. Many businesses are struggling with finding ways to get traffic to their website. The KEY is the marketing plan. The internet offers entrepreneurs the ability to build their brands globally. As an entrepreneur you must have the “Right technology and right product!”

Greg started masterminding “My TV Bids” after his experiences with the Real Estate Market. When the housing market crashed, he was searching online how to market homes online. His passion and drive now has resulted in launching “My TV Bids” TODAY! It is a Reverse Auction Site and Social Media Partnership for all business to access and implement into their marketing plans…..

People that sign up with “My TV Bids” are looking to save money with our reverse auction and use our social media platform. There are three options within the business: My TV Classified, My TV Phone Book, and My TV Bids. They offer the opportunity for you to list your businesses online. My TV Phone Book is powered by Super Pages. “My TV Bids” offers a way for people to list their services in a true phone book listing. In addition, the opportunity to talk about their business. The auction angle is another catalyst for business owners to purchase products at discounted prices. Greg Allen and his partners are giving entrepreneurs three components for you to bring together under a family business!”
