I still can not believe it has been an entire year that I have been with Online Business Alliance. A whole year. It started off rough, but at the same time, it has done things for me than any other business I have been with. I have learned through OBA that I Can do it on my own if I need to, however it helps to become a student first. If you learn the ways of the internet, and what is available, then you can take any business that working at home throws at you and make it prosper.
Only we as people know what we can deal with, for instance I know that cold calling is not for me, however I love to email people back and forth. Some people love to just throw their information out there and hope someone jumps on it, that also works for some even though it is not the best way to get to know the people beyond the computer. Working at home is not an easy thing to do, because people do not realize that if you do not work, your business will not work for you. I do not care what business you are in.
OBA has given me a wealth of information to get me on my way to making not just a success of OBA, but any business that I go into. Well guys I will talk to you another day. Here is the last video that I made for OBA on my anniversary for those who have not seen it yet.

Back To My Routine!
For once I took the time to take a vacation. I always talk about how people who work at home need to take time for their families, and take time to relax so that we do not become overwhelmed. Well I have finally taken my own advice. I normally take my weekends and have the time during the week to relax with the children, however, I realized that I needed a BREAK. So I took it.
I had one week left before the kids came home so I took that week completely off to spend it with my husband, The second week was their first week home from grandmas so we had to get them situated, retrained, and ready for school. Then of course their is the first week back to school which is always a mess. You know how it is missed buses, crazy schedules, kids getting sick due to weather change between CT and NC, etc, etc, etc.
Now I are ready to jump back into the fold. Marcus has his new little suits to travel with me on my networking meetings, I have a new outlook on my work, and as of Monday I am jumping completely back into the fold. Are you ready because I am. I am taking today and tomorrow to set things up, and then it is off to the races.
First things first I have to set up a plan of action. Which is a lot easier than you would think. It is just a point of doing it.
Well I will update everyone more later.

A Realization of Mine!
Now that my vacation is over it is time to jump back in and get started. I have had a few revelations as of late. One thing I always say is that life is unexpected, things always change, and no one is perfect. Don't worry, this time I haven't done anything wrong. I have just realized a few things. Now mind you I know a lot of things, however when it comes to me personally it is hard to see what I am missing or not doing right. I have no problem admitting when I need to change some things as long as I take the steps to change them.
The main thing I realized is that I need to change my advertising. I have been advertising Online Business Alliance since September of 2007 completely online, and then in April of 2008 I added Prepaid Legal to my arsenal. Now I have advertised Prepaid online separate from OBA in a way, but I realize that can be confusing for people when trying to figure out exactly what I am doing.
I have made a decision after a few months of advertising both of my business online and offline that I need to figure out which I am going to do where. I have decided that OBA needs to stick to an online business and I do not need to advertise that offline even though I am having success with people offline with OBA it does get a little hard to separate the two when it comes to people I meet, at my networking meetings. Prepaid Legal I am going to keep offline. Advertising online is a wonderful thing, however for Prepaid Legal I take it personally in a different way and need to advertise that in person. I am able to sit and speak with people find out what their needs are and explain what Prepaid can do for them and their situations.
Revelation number two came with the amount of calls of I received about how to separate two different businesses. I have gotten that question so many times it made me sit up and try to figure out how do I do it. First thing I explain to them is that you have to KNOW your businesses. You can not try to learn two or more different businesses at one time. You will never be able to do that. You have to concentrate on one first and get it up and running. Once you are comfortable enough to be able to explain your business to someone without faltering then you are able to add another if you really need to. Also, it helps if your businesses can relate to each other or at the very least help each other.
For me I was brought into Prepaid Legal a few years back and I did not have someone there to explain anything at all to me. I paid my money and my upline went missing, so I let my affiliate status go, however I kept my membership for a few years. Once I let that go, I had forgotten about Prepaid for a while. Once I started OBA, I did it so that I would not go through that again. Not knowing how to work a business that was worth taking the time to learn and to work. At this point I do not depend on anyone else to teach the business to me, I am able and trained enough to advertise any business I end up working. That is what I want for others, I want them to have enough information to push their businesses whether they have an upline or not.
More to come later. I need to get started.

Continuing My Education!
I know it has been a while since my last blog, but I didn't want to keep saying the same thing over and over again so I decided to give more time in between my blogs as of late to get more done, do more reading, and help more people.
Lately, things have changed a little more with my networking. I have been more offline than on. This is the way things were at least until last weekend. For some reason, even though I have been pushing all of this offline advertising, Online Business Alliance has picked up quite a bit, so I had to put my offline networking to the side for a little while to help the people that are coming in. There have been a few changes to the OBA website so I needed to concentrate on learning those so I wouldn't confuse anyone. It is funny how things work out. The minute I took a break to work one business, the other one came knocking on my door. I still have the same feelings about OBA that I always did, and it is so easy to go right back to helping whoever I can since my education continues to grow.
On the Prepaid Legal side. That is where a lot of my offline marketing goes. I have been to many networking events as of late and have been able to listen to what it is people need before jumping in and telling them just anything. I now know how to tailor the services we offer so they fit the person I am talking to, depending on what their needs are. So I still make my point to be out there showing my face. Setting up meetings to talk about all of the services that we offer. The message seems to be going through. So I am sticking to it.
Well I have to go for now.

Not enough time in the world!
I have been full speed ahead since the beginning of my little journey that started back in February of this year.I have had a lot of things to fix, and I have had a lot of things change. Although it is all for the best, it is a lot of work to stay focused.
I know that as of late my blog has had info on what I have been doing from week to week, but none of you are really up to date with what is going on with me, and what I have been doing to keep myself focused and sane. Well I am about to break it down for all of you.
Number one is keeping my word to the Online Business Alliance. I said when this little journey began that I was going to stick to OBA no matter what, because that is my beginning. I started with the company back in September of last year and I am still going strong with the company. No matter what else comes into play I am still making time for the people that come into OBA because I believe in keeping my word. Plus, OBA gives me a way to help others for a very low cost. For $5 I am able to teach whoever wants information about advertising, and networking online everything I know that has worked for me. There are so many people who are lost with all of the information that the internet kicks out. I am here to help sift through all of that mess.
As for Prepaid Legal. Things are going very strong. I will leave the best part of it for another time, however Prepaid Legal has been booming lately. Everything I am putting into it is being given back to me two fold. I have been blessed and now realize that picking Prepaid back up has given me a way to bless others. Believe it or not. Then it has given me an idea of how I can help others on a bigger scale.
We have been so busy that for this weeks radio show we ended up being more of ourselves than we anticipated. I am as always leaving a copy for you all to hear.
Talk to you all soon,
Lorreen

Back to Basics!
I am taking this week to go back to my root business Online Business Alliance. I have never had a business that I cared enough about to stay in for a long enough time to fully understand it. OBA was that business. I am coming up on a year with OBA in September of this year and I have taken a second look at it.
I have never let OBA go, I still advertise it as much as I do Prepaid Legal, and Lifetime Vision Group, however, there have been some changes within OBA that have made me take time to stop what I am doing for a few days to create a site to help alot of the people who are not understanding the principals of the business and the community. Some people come in thinking 5 bucks what do i have to lose, however they have no idea what it is we offer.
I have taken the time this week to reopen the floodgates so to speak for those within OBA to still have the resources to help them get started and moving within the community. To make sure that everyone has the information that they need to grow. This company has helped me grow to where I am now, and I want everyone else involved in our community to be able to do the same.
Check out our site: www.5dollarmiracle.info . We are here to help each other.
This has been my week to backtrack and make sure no one is left by the wayside.
