A business of service

There are several roads to success that any business owner can pursue, yet in all the successful businesses I have coached and most that I have studied, one attitude has permeated the consciousness of the owners. That attitude is service. How can we use this attitude of service to propel our own success with Humanity Unites Brilliance?

Marianne Williamson in a return to Love states:
“Success means we go to sleep at night knowing that our talents and abilities were used in a way that served others.”

Let’s take a look at some of the ways your HUB business can be of service

On the surface service is easy to see in our program partners in such places as Africa and South America. Providing food, water for the worlds neediest is obviously being of service, but look at some deeper more personal ways our businesses are of service.

Service to individuals
Your friends and families may be looking to make some extra income, maybe replace their regular job with a work from home opportunity, maybe they are looking to help the world and have a greater sense of accomplishment. By exposing HUB to your friends and families you are giving them an opportunity to explore new ideas that they may not get a chance to see otherwise. By giving them an extra income stream or a work from home opportunity, your service expands to impact their families and friends. Your service is compounded by your friend’s efforts to touch others in their circle of influence. Just as we have learned about exponential giving we see that by telling others about our HUB businesses we are practicing exponential service.

Another aspect of service to your friends and families is having them as part of your team instead of signing up under someone else. People everywhere are getting exposed to Humanity Unites Brilliance. Many of the people you know will sign up. At first glance it may seem inconsequential of who someone signs up with, but ask around to people outside our team and see their experience. Our team is active and supportive and assisting people with their success. Many people have joined Hub and have little or no support from their up line and are left alone to manage their own success. Being on your own may be fine for some but for most people it makes success rare. So by talking with your sphere of influence and having them on your team as part of our team, you place them in a family of like minded, caring people dedicated to their success.

Service to non profits
As our home based businesses start to blossom and we include service to individuals such as friends and family, we see that by exposing small nonprofits into our matrix we are being of service to community programs in need of a steady stream of funding. We can emulate HUB corporate humanitarian work in our own back yard. Our successful team exposes churches, private not for profit schools, women’s shelters and recovery facilities, etc. on a regular basis. Small nonprofits funding allows them to offer more service to their clients and congregation. Nonprofits spend much of their time and energy in trying to remain funded. Grant writing keeps them consumed in paper work and requesting money from congregations and foundations is uncertain and time consuming. Imagine offering organizations in your community an opportunity to receive an ongoing consistent extra stream of income. This income flow allows them to do what they do best – be of service to their congregations and others in need. When approached with the idea of extra income most the nonprofits we have talked with have allowed us to be of service to them.

Service to your team
As you work your home based business and develop funding for nonprofits, your matrix grows and your team begins to develop. Our teams need our service also. We become centers of information, tools and motivation in order for them to grow their business. Being of service to our team does not mean we do everything for them, it is more that we are a mentor. Their willingness to be of service to their team is important aspect of building their successful team. Helping them stage talks and gatherings, putting them in touch with marketing and operational systems, helping them convert their prospects are ways we can service our teams. We understand that everyone joining our team may not be willing to accept our service but we make it available nun the less.

Service to your self
Service to oneself is an important part of HUB. Surprisingly we have seen many people join hub only to get hung up on the idea that they are going to make money. This attitude of financial deprivation goes completely against the HUB principles. We are here to create exponential giving. I have heard several times from the Humanity Unites Brilliance founders, that in order to truly give we must be ready to truly receive. So money becomes one of the ways we are of service to ourselves. What we do with our commission checks is completely up to us. We could tithe all of our income to our favorite charity or create a personal lifestyle that we have always dreamed of one is not more spiritual than the other.

Service to ourselves also includes our personal, humanitarian, and business growth. As we experience the HUB community we are exposed to lots of new ideas, techniques, and tools that helps us expand during our journey on this planet. A sense of accomplishment may come over us as this business grows. We may become hugely successful and well rounded as human being and why would that be important? So we can be of greater service to all that we come in contact with including ourselves.

Wise to Consider Your Whys!

As you start your new home based business, the emotional adrenalin runs high and the possibilities for your business and your life seem unlimited. In the first few days or weeks the potential of this new endeavor can carry you a long way. Usually it does not take long for reality to set in. Our honeymoon with our business can end abruptly, being replaced with apathy or even fear and what was flying enthusiasm is dislodged with drudgery. Humanity Unites Brilliance is a beautiful work at home business, humanitarian model that draws many different people for many different reasons. Getting clear on your reasons for joining and wanting to participate in HUB is a great way to keep your enthusiasm up and make this the best home based business opportunity for you.

I have used one particular tool through the years to keep the energy high and avoid the downturn in momentum. By asking and careful answering of a couple simple question you can begin to establish a defense to early onset apathy. While thinking about the answers to these few questions is OK, the real power is in writing out your answers as completely as possible. Be specific and use truthful answers, if you are here for the money, don’t think of it as unspiritual or less valuable than other reasons you may think of. The more abundant you are in Humanity Unites Brilliance, the more people will be attracting and ultimately doing more humanitarian work. OK let’s get started

The first question is
“What is that you saw and heard when you were exposed to HUB that you found the most interesting?”
Do some journaling about this to get down to the real items that touched you. Was it the idea of making some extra cash or maybe the thought of replacing your job and working from home? Maybe the humanitarian aspect of HUB rang true to you. The aspect of funding a not for profit company might have drawn you, maybe some combination of two or three main ideas.

The next question for your consideration is:
How does what I love about HUB serve my life?
Once again journal to get to this answer. Possibly the extra money you make will be used to travel or pay off old bills. Maybe working from home gives you more time with your family. The humanitarian idea of feeding the neediest children of the world may give you the sense of service to the plane. The combination of several ideas is the usually the outcome. What impact will participating in HUB have on your life and sense of self?

Final question is:
What do I want to be the result of joining HUB a year from today and why will I continue to work to reach my goals? This is the distillation of the first two questions.

Journal on these questions then start to condense your rambling into the whys of being in business. Get a few sentences to a couple of paragraphs that can be reviewed on a regular basis as a reminder of your true intentions in those times of doubt or low energy. The whys of your HUB business is a wise thing to give some time to.

A Little Backround

Hi everyone. This is Tony Allinger, one the founders of the HUB HOME TEAM and I wanted to share a little history of who we are where we have been and where we are going. Chris Mesker (the other founder) and I have been friends for the better part of twenty years. Our families live within 15 miles of each other here in the beautiful Sierra Foothills. Chris and I have been business colleagues and our kids do community sports together. We are both entrepreneurs and have had several successful businesses individually. My background is in business consulting www.boldbusinesses.com and Chris is a sales trainer and internet marketing wiz kid. Chris and I have talked often over the last several years about collaborating on a venture together. We had several conversations around philosophical topics like “The Secret” dvd and demonstrating abundance and how we might work together to help others.

In June of this year Chris was exposed to Humanity Unites brilliance, this perfect work from home business opportunity that also did good in the world. Once I saw the information on HUB I was sold on the idea and Chris and I immediately began our partnership in building a team. We wanted to create and environment that allowed everyone that joined our team to be supported to highest extent in their own personal success. We contacted other likeminded friends that we knew had success in life and business, and ask them if they would like to join our team. To our gratitude they said yes and in a few days we had assembled a core group of diverse, highly talented individuals. Our first tier members are successful participants from sales and marketing, organizational structuring and multilevel marketing fields. Another important aspect is that we all followed the same high ethical and spiritual lifestyle.

The vision for our team is to help everyone that is interested make the most out of this work at home opportunity. We knew many would come for the business opportunity and many for the humanitarian aid aspect of Humanity Unites Brilliance. Most that have shown interest and signed up have a soulful combination of the two. Let me outline a little about HUB. Hub is a multilevel marketing business format, there are lots of those around doing great business. The significant difference is that at the end of the month your participation results in real, on the ground humanitarian aid versus a bar of soap or nutritional supplement, not that there is anything wrong with that. In Hub’s back office you have found a global community of likeminded people that you can connect with for personal, spiritual and business growth. The back office also includes motivation videos and information from the world leaders on the subjects. Our team also has added resources to make your journey a little straighter. We have marketing materials for face to face or internet marketing success. We will have our own team calls that will cover person growth, spiritual intention and business success. We are in the process of setting up a team website that will make access to your tools and resources a breeze. We also are available to you for any special attention you may need. We suggest that you first go through you sponsor or the person you signed up with and then contact us for additional instruction and information. This helps the entire team tell the HUB story and get proficient at using the tools.

In the future as our teams grow and nurture one another Chris and I will be adding every service and tool we can find to will help in your success. Your input is very important, so don’t hesitate to forward us anything you think will help. I hope this post helps you understand you are involved in the best work from home business out there. Whether you want to just do in person sharing or you want to create the best online business, we are here to help. The beautiful thing is as we learn to receive in abundance we are capable of giving more to the worlds neediest through the Humanity Unites Brilliance model.

The following information contained here is designed to get you up and running with your HUB System quickly and as efficiently as possible. So pay very close attention to the details within this Blog. Take all the information you read here seriously, very seriously…

Most important of all things to remember... Make sure you play your best game of Simon Says! We are not only helping ourselves but we are creating the new paradigm shifts necessary to create global change. This is serious business.

The faster you implement every detail and strategy here…you’ll be that much closer to helping the world heal. As you read through these steps, know that systems have a way of changing, so we suggest you visit this blog once in a while for updates, as we may be updating these steps on a routine basis. Also, make sure to send your new members here as well... If something is not as it appears, please let us know right away…

One last item of importance; while this may appear to be a ton of information read carefully and take one "Step" at a time. The information contained here is designed to streamline your Tools and Systems setup process, so you will be ready to go faster and get into unlimited prosperity mode right away.

Step 1. The First Steps:

Set up your office for success… The first thing you want to do is set up a space in your home to launch your new business. It should be free & clear of clutter and bills. Have a phone with a really good headset ready (if you can find the Accent Communications AC-680, look for them at Office Depot, it’s the best one around for the money, $24.95, and it’s what I use today.)

Get an "Unlimited Long Distance Plan" (most major carriers offer a plan for the "US & Canada" at approximately $20-$35/month). Skype and Vonage are internet phone services that may offer more value. Also I hear Google talk is free but you must have a Gmail account. Gmail is an email account at google.com

There will be some TEAMHUB (our immediate team) training calls from time to time that you will be on, and you may want to touch base with the person that brought you into HUB, as well as all the people that will join you and your team.. Also, have a PC or MAC, a printer, and preferably a high-speed Internet connection to the Internet.

Step 2. Book of Business:

Open a Word document and save it to a folder labeled as HUB. Additionally, do the same on a back-up "Jump Drive" (the memory sticks that you plug into a USB port), so when you travel you will always have your numbers with you. In your Book of Business you’ll keep all-important files pertaining to your new HUB enterprise.

Include the following items in this file:

  • Contact & email addresses for your Hubbie and their Hubbie
  • Passwords and logins to all sites you will register on
  • HUB contacts you will make along the way through your journey
  • A 3way buddy list- A call schedule for training calls and access #'s
  • All your registration and sign-up forms to HUB
  • The HUB home office contact information – Phone, fax, and bank account #'s
  • If you have a lawyer, accountant, bookkeeper… have their contact information on hand
  • Anything that you feel will assist you add to this file.

Step 3. Download Firefox:

Firefox is a multi-tab web browser that allows you to have as many websites open as you like at one time, as opposed to using MSN Explorer that is a one-off web browser system that has limited functionality. Once you download Firefox, select it as your new default browser. Once you have Firefox open, click on file in the top left corner of the tools bar and open a new window, then a new tab. Look at the tabs bar at the top of your screen directly under your icons bar to locate all your tabs. Once you have opened up 10 or more tabs, you will see a scrolling tool and drop down box at the far right of the tabs bar – this is the coolest feature of the browser, and where the true value lies…

Step 4. Training Calls

This is priority one! Remember “Training Tuesdays” Make sure you commit to being on the training calls there a ton of hidden gems there. We only showed you one way of joining HUB but there are many ways to present HUB and the training is the key.

Every Tuesday we have 2 calls that the public is allowed on get your prospects there!

Charlie and others will be there to share the vision and they will do most the footwork to get you new Hubbies. All you have to do is get your prospects on the phone.

Be sure to get in on the Thursday compensation plan call. We didn’t do it for the first few weeks and when we finally called in we learned a few things that HUB offered us that we weren’t clear on! Below is the schedule. It also is on the training tab in your HUB back office.
