NO MORE FOOLING AROUND! DISCOVER YOUR UNREALIZED POTENTIAL
April Action Guide
Your April Action Guide offers three key Action Steps to jumpstart your month and drive consistent activity and results.
Through these exercises, you can leverage March to grow, gain strength, and excel.
Audio of the Month
Listen to your April ZannPlan audio training to create clarity around best practices for the month. Enjoy a successful first quarter and build a strong foundation for your year.
Print out the action guide before you listen to the audio below, so you can follow along with the transcript and take notes. This will improve your retention and your ability to put what you learn into immediate action.
“Commitment. This is my favorite word because in some way people who are committed are always much more interesting and much more reliable, and much more, I would say deep, than people who are not.”
— Carlos Ghosn

Tools & Branding
This month, our focus is on optimization, branding, and posting.
Again, your branding should be a representation of YOU, rather than your product or company. In addition to premade templates provided to you by your company, you can create your own. Have fun with the templates by adding personal photos, customized fonts and a variety of colors. But make sure anything you create complies with your company’s policies and procedures.
Creating a banner can be simple and affordable with a free service like Canva. You can access royalty free stock photos from Pexels, Unsplash, and Pixabay. All that being said, the best photos come from your cell phone. Give people a peak into your life.
You can use quotes and text images with the Wordswag app to create beautiful designs in minutes, right from your cellphone; and it connects to Pixabay.
With banners that reflect your brand, and copy that captures your voice and message, your social platforms will be optimized for success.
Take advantage of links, bios, and other profile information in each platform. Use every opportunity to tell your story and share your “why”. Include the link to your sales page in every bio on every platform.
Post live in real time to Facebook from your personal profile. For your Facebook business page, schedule posts within Facebook rather than through third party posting sites, which can lower your ranking. Check out Instagram GRUM or Planoly; and Hootsuite works well for LinkedIn and Twitter.
April Challenge: Use Canva to create or update your branding. Complete the profiles on all your social media platforms, including links to your sales page.

Time Management Tip
Without A To-Do List, The Joke’s On You
Whether part-time or full-time, do you ever feel overwhelmed by the amount of work necessary to build a successful Direct Selling business? Do you find it stressful to identify not only what needs to be done, but how best to prioritize your income-producing activities? Time is one of your most precious resources. Managing it is no place to fool around.
I recommend you write a daily To-Do list where you prioritize all the tasks you choose to carry out that day. List everything you have to do, then prioritize by placing the most important tasks at the top of the list, and the least important tasks at the bottom.
With a daily list, your tasks are all in one place and you won’t forget anything important. By prioritizing the items, you can easily identify what needs your immediate attention, and what can be left for later.
I’ve worked a daily To-Do for many years. In fact, I make sure the last thing I do before I leave my desk at the end of each day is to write my list for tomorrow.
This simple tip can keep you from fooling yourself about your productivity while making it fun and easy to get things done. By prioritizing you can ensure you complete both the tough and the easy tasks.
A quote hangs in my office that reads: “The least effective people do the easy stuff first.” Start using a prioritized To-Do list so you too become a most effective person and reach a higher level of achievement.
Motivational Message
No Foolin’! Pass It On.
The primary method for creating success in your Direct Selling business is your ability to successfully transfer your company’s business system – skills and concepts – to the people you sponsor. We call this duplication.
I define duplication as the amazing results that are achieved when teams are trained and committed to everyone doing the same success-oriented activities.
Since everything duplicates, it just makes sense to duplicate the magic of Personal Development.
And just like with any activity, you duplicate most effectively by setting a personal example. If three-way calls can duplicate, so can a commitment to Personal Development reading. If pace can duplicate, so can the desire to increase your positivity and belief.
I recommend that you promote the power of Personal Development to everyone on your team. And there are a variety of ways to duplicate this life-changing activity.
- Make a personal commitment to a daily practice.
- Post a list of Personal Development books on your team page.
- Give Personal Development books as incentive gifts.
- Share positive quotes that support the importance of Personal Development. Some of my favorites are:
“Work harder on yourself than you do on your business or your job.” – Jim Rohn
“You must master a new way to think before you can master a new way to be.” – Marianne Williamson
Wise leaders often say: “The speed of the Leader is the speed of the team!”
People are watching everything you do as you build your business. Along with demonstrating the mechanics, make a commitment to teach a mental foundation for success through Personal Development.
No funny business! When you pass on the power of Personal Development, you’re not only supporting success, you are changing lives.
Start today to develop the mindset and the skill set to create Outrageous Achievement by mastering every month.
With more clarity in every season, you will set money-making priorities, take more consistent action, and meet and exceed your goals, not only this year, but for years to come.
It’s time to look beyond the hidden jokes and foolishness and find the courage to be a Champion!
