4 Ways Neora Empowers Female Entrepreneurs

Neora™ — Sun, 19 Nov 2023 14:00:00 +0000

Every year in November, the world celebrates Women’s Entrepreneurship Day to support and inspire more female business leaders. According to a report from American Express, 42% of all businesses in the United States are women-owned and generate more than $1.9 trillion in revenue. Despite the increase in representation, women still face obstacles at a higher rate than their male counterparts, including balancing business and home life, inadequate access to funding and a good support network. Even with these setbacks female entrepreneurship continues to grow.

Neora celebrates Women’s Entrepreneurship Day (WED) on November 19, by recognizing the many achievements women have made to the economy, the community and innovations to business in the United States and around the world. Neora is also a top choice among women who want to start a business on their own terms. These women employ other women, sell clean-meets-performance products to women who want to look and feel great, and serve as role models to the next generation of female business leaders.

“I get to help people … and with four kids watching, I am able to display how good work ethic can help you succeed in life and in business,” says Area Marketing Director Kenitra Neary.

Here are four reasons why more women are choosing Neora to fulfill their entrepreneurial dreams:

1. Budget-Friendly Startup Costs

One of the obstacles that often deters women from starting a business is the lack of funding opportunities compared to their male counterparts. Neora believes in the power of entrepreneurship and has always advocated for leveling the playing field for everyone. With a low cost of $20 to sign up as a Brand Partner and true e-commerce business model, anyone with a phone can start their business in a matter of minutes.

2. Work-Life Harmony

Being a mother is one of the toughest jobs out there, but Neora makes life easier for busy moms by giving them the ability to run their businesses while everything is in motion. With a virtual cloud office, Brand Partners can access their business tools at anytime, anywhere, including in the carpool line, during soccer practice, or throughout the school day. A Neora business allows Brand Partners to easily blend their work responsibilities with other aspects of their lives for a more flexible schedule.

3. Women Find Success in Relationship Marketing

More than 80 percent of independent salespeople in direct sales in the United States are female, according to the Direct Selling Association. One reason is direct sales is a relationship business and women are especially adept at relationship building and networking which are key tenets for business success. Women also bring strong communication skills, including empathy and active listening. Combine these skills with Neora’s successful age-defying product line, and it’s even easier for women to sell to like-minded people who are interested in looking and feeling their best.

4. Mentorship and Support

Women in business often find success through mentorship and actively participate in supporting one another. Mentorship relationships contribute to professional development and the advancement of women in various industries, especially direct selling. Neora’s robust support network is literally a global group of people who support each other through success stories, insights, and experiences to motivate and provide inspiration for aspiring entrepreneurs. Once someone becomes a Brand Partner, they are fully embraced by the Neora family and will believe in them until they start believing in themselves.

A One-of-a-Kind Business Experience

The Neora opportunity is truly one-of-a-kind because it empowers women to take control of their financial future and live their best life. Plus, with a compensation plan structured to reward success, people can start earning from day one. As Neora’s age-defying products continue to grow in popularity because of the amazing results so will the possibilities.

Why Practicing Gratitude is So Important in Our Everyday Lives

Deborah Heisz — Thu, 11 Nov 2021 15:42:47 +0000

One of my favorite happiness habits that I practice on a daily basis is gratitude. This simple but powerful character strength not only makes you happy, but more importantly, gratitude can add happiness to the lives of others as well.

Gratitude is more than just saying thank you. Rather, it’s a mindset of being grateful for everything you have in your life. It’s telling yourself, that you are enough and it’s showing others how much you appreciate their presence. The great thing about this mindset is that when practiced regularly, it trains your brain to look for the good in life. It’s also most associated with life satisfaction and happiness, so there’s a good chance the more to show gratitude in your life, the happier you will be.

The Science Behind Gratitude

It’s not just me saying this, there is real science that shows the impact gratitude can have on our well-being. Research shows that highly grateful people have more positive outcomes in their lives related to their family, friends, jobs and wellness. They experience positive emotions more often and have less anxiety, depression and envy. Science has shown that grateful people score higher in areas related to prosocial behavior, empathy, forgiveness, helpfulness, supportiveness and are less worried about materialism.

According to The Mayo Clinic Handbook for Happiness, gratitude is good for your physical health and increases your happiness by 25%. Positive psychologists have found that when practicing gratitude interventions for an extended amount of time, it can improve your mood for weeks and even months. Leading gratitude researcher Robert Emmons, Ph.D., discovered that people who show gratitude in the workplace experience a boost in productivity and by more than 30%.

How to Practice Gratitude

The easiest way to get into a mindset of gratitude is by keeping a gratitude journal. Keep it beside your bed and before you go bed each night, write down three things you are grateful for and why. It may be a challenge at first, but soon you’ll find it easier to find more meaningful things to be grateful for. A deeply impactful way to increase your gratitude is by writing a gratitude letter to someone in your life who has made a positive impact that you haven’t properly thanked. You can send that person the letter, but you really want to get the full effect of the practice, read that letter out loud to that person. You’ll both be glad that you did.

The Power of Gratitude

I am grateful for my family, my health and job. I know I am blessed. That’s easy. What takes work is finding a reason to be grateful every single day even in the face of adversity. I feel equipped to tackle anything because of my gratitude. If I run into a bad situation, I tell myself that I am grateful for the experience, I am still here and it could have been worse. What’s more, I always reflect and find a way I have grown from that experience.

When practiced every day, the power of gratitude can make you a happier and better person. In a time of so much uncertainty, it’s nice to have the tools to improve yourself as well as improving the lives of others. If you don’t practice gratitude, I highly suggest you start. If you could take a pill for happiness, wouldn’t you take it? Consider this your happy pill.

Step Up Your Side-Gig Game in September

Neora™ — Thu, 02 Sep 2021 19:18:31 +0000

Millions of Americans have made the decision to take more control of their financial futures as the side hustle revolution gains in popularity. According to recent data released by Monster.com, 92% of people surveyed think now is a perfect time to start a side hustle. The uncertainty of the economy caused by the fallout from COVID-19—combined with the accessibility of technology—has created untold opportunities for people to earn more money outside the usual 9 to 5.

Why Choose a Side Hustle?

While nearly half of the people working a side hustle in the United States started it for financial reasons, money isn’t the only motivator. Side hustles allow people to work on their terms with freedom and flexibility to spend their time how they choose. A recent American Express OPEN Small Business Monitor survey reveals that most entrepreneurs are happy with their decision to be their own boss and tend to enjoy more life satisfaction and feel secure about the future. The DollarSprout Side Hustle Survey released in 2020, found that 46% of people were optimistic about the future of their side hustle situation and 91% say their significant other is happy with their side hustle decision.

These people are living the life they want by writing blogs, creating websites, selling great products, ridesharing, delivering food, and so on.

A recent survey released by daVinci Payments found that the gig economy grew by 33% in 2020, reaching more the $1 trillion.

Employment listing giant Monster.com recently released data showing 92% of respondents said they think now is a good time to look into the gig economy.

According to the report Independent Work: Choice, Necessity and the Gig Economy by global management consulting firm McKinsey & Co., people who chose independent work said there were more satisfied with work lives over those who were felt like they were forced into gig work, and even over those in traditional employment.

According to the American Express OPEN Small Business Monitor survey, most entrepreneurs are not only happy with their decision to be their own boss, but they are happy with life in general and feel secure about their future.

Boost Your Social Media Presence with Engaging, Get-Noticed Content

Neora™ — Fri, 19 Mar 2021 15:00:00 +0000

Imagine if you hired an agency that could create engaging and creative commercials, advertising campaigns and brand marketing that works for you 24-7. That kind of representation would cost tens of thousands of dollars and, as an independent entrepreneur, you don’t have that kind of money to spend. What you do have is the freedom to create attention-grabbing content and stellar branding campaigns on your social media channels any time you want—all from the palm of your hand.

The Social Media Age

According to marketing trends, 40% of people use social media to research products, with more than half using Facebook or Instagram as their go-to information source. At Neora, we understand how social media has changed the selling game, especially for small entrepreneurs and independent workers. We live in a fast-paced world, and customers want quality products on demand at a great price.

At Neora, we’ve spent years perfecting our online marketing strategy to help you get your products in front of the people who want to buy what you’re selling. Have you fully tapped into these resources? Check out these tips from our Social Selling System that can help you create your own marketing campaigns unique to your brand.

The Three E’s

We have found that the most engaging posts must do one of three things: educate, entertain or empower. If you have one of these elements in your post—that’s great; if you have all three, then you’re practically a marketing pro. We believe the most effective way to communicate about the products you are selling or the business opportunity you are offering is to educate. This makes you the expert with the knowledge to help and build trust with customers. Make sure to do your research and be ready with answers to any questions you may get.

Additionally, have some fun! Show people your lighter side by creating posts that entertain. Humorous, fun and spontaneous posts will also show that you are authentic and gives your audience a glimpse into your life. Polls are a great way to engage with your audience. Poll followers about a recent hit television show, a favorite staycation destination, or a favorite Neora product!

Lastly, create posts that empower, with content that is intended to inspire and move your audience. You can share famous quotes or simply knowledge that you’ve picked up along the way. You can also let people know about a recent goal you’ve met. If you’re real and relatable, you’ll realize you have more in common with people than you think, and you’ll definitely be encouraged by all of the positive feedback.

The Three C’s

In order for the Three E’s to be effective, you’ll also need to employ the Three C’s to make sure your messaging makes sense. Anything you share has to be clear with its intent. Before you post a message, ask yourself: If someone is reading this post, will it help them, is all the information there, and will they even care?

Your message also needs to be creative in its presentation. Fun word play, stunning visuals and catchy music can make a dull post pop off the screen. Make sure it shows off your personality and your unique messaging will make you stand out in a crowd. You don’t need tons of expensive software and training to boost your skills—easy-to-use sites such as Canva and Visme can make all of your design look professional. Give it a try!

Finally, remember that less is usually more. Be sure to make your messages as concise as possible. If you feel like you’re writing too much, you probably are. People are busy and don’t have time to waste, so get to the point in as few words as possible and you won’t risk losing anyone’s interest.

Get Tech-y

Technology has made marketing for your business and connecting with your customers easier than ever. If you want to get people to stop scrolling on by, aim to create posts that will grab someone’s attention in a fun and stylish way. Only post at least once and no more than three times a day, while focusing on engaging content that will get people talking and, most importantly, let people get to know YOU. Soon you’ll be a social selling Rockstar!

3 Tips on How to Use Social Media for Your Business

Neora™ — Wed, 17 Mar 2021 15:06:42 +0000

Everyone loves a good story. If you want to successfully market your business, your branding needs to tell a good story. Since you are in the relationship marketing business, your bestselling tool will always be you. You are the story-teller and your story should reflect who you are, your values and what you believe in. Using social media to market your business is essential to growing your brand and it’s the perfect vehicle to deliver your businesses branding story because it gives anyone the power to reach the world. We particularly recommend Facebook and Instagram platforms because of the direct access to those who are most likely to do business with you and as well as the ability to meet new people who may just become lifelong customers.

Check out these three expert tips on how you can build your story through social media:

Define Your Brand

People drawn to authenticity and they want to do business with someone who they feel is “real.” Your social media should reflect who you are online and off. In order to help build your story, you should write down three to five different themes that define you. Let’s say you are into staying in shape, you own your business and you love to cook as a hobby. Your themes would be: Fitness Guru, Mompreneur and Foodie. Now choose three to five personality characteristics that support the type of person you are. If you are a positive person who cares for others and are also driven by success, you can choose words like: optimistic, compassionate and ambitious. Use these themes and characteristics in your profiles and in your posts to draw like-minded people. Anyone who visits your accounts should immediately know your interests and what kind of person you are.

Be Consistent

Now that you have figure out your themes, it’s time to start posting. The number one key for building your brand is consistency in your messaging and timing. You’ll want to post fresh content at least once a day and no more than two to three times a day. This will ensure that your posts and profile will be more likely to pop up in front of more people whenever they check their feeds. The best way to create the best content for your brand, we recommend that you practice the Power of the 3E’s: Educate, Entertain and Empower. Your posts should be able to do one of these things, but all three is even better. Remember, a lot of people can empower and entertain, but with your business and products, educating others on what you have to offer will be most effective.

Leverage Your Live Video

Nothing pops and creates more buzz than online videos. Not only are videos great at instantly showcasing your personality, they also establish a trust factor with your audience. Once you establish that trust, you’ll have a customer for life. The most engaging video content is when you can show your authentic self. A few ideas for creating videos: review your products so your customers can see it in action, show off your Real Results parties, or perform a random act of kindness. Your social media feeds should look and feel like a nonstop television channel starring you and your business.

If you want to engage with more prospective customers, you need engaging content. The most cost-effective marketing tools you can use are your free social media accounts. Follow these three steps and you’ll be driving new traffic and attracting more customers.

Don’t Let Fear Stand in the Way of Your Potential

Neora™ — Tue, 23 Feb 2021 16:28:14 +0000

Making the jump to start your own business can be intimidating. You may feel like you want to make a change in your life and the opportunity sounds great, but then you get a case of the “What Ifs”: ‘What if I don’t know what I am doing?’, ‘What if I lose friends?’, ‘What if no one believes in me?’, ‘What if I fail.’ You may not realize it, but it takes real courage to fail because you are just once step closer to reaching your goals. If you are new to Neora or thinking about starting a new Neora business, it’s important to know that some of our most successful Platinum National Marketing Directors had the very same fears that you may be feeling now. Here are a few examples of their fears and the steps they took to overcome their barriers to find real success with Neora.

Turn on Your Open Sign

When Shalon Murphy joined Neora, she was new to relationship marketing and did not know what to expect. Her number one fear was posting anything about her business on her social media accounts. She felt that if she did, she would be vulnerable to judgement and may lose friends. When Shalon finally built up the courage to post about her business online, she realized that those very same friends were not only interested in Neora’s products, but also wanted to do business with her. “If I want people to purchase from me, I am going to need to let them know what I am selling,” she says. “It was a really good lesson for me to realize that I need to get over myself.” There will be people who will buy from you and there will people who won’t, but no one will buy anything from you if they don’t know you are in business. When she changed her mindset to think that she wasn’t asking people to do anything for her, but she was just sharing her honest positive experiences with Neora, her fears of being a burden to others went away.

Switch the Negatives Into Positives

At one time in her life, Leslie Hocker was an introverted and very shy person. Speaking in front of people was frightening to her. How would she be able to sell anything if she couldn’t communicate to her customers? After working with personal development leader Tony Robbins, she learned that the feeling of being nervous is the same feeling of being excited. She replaced the negative feelings she had about her fears with positive associations. This keeps her motivated to make more calls, send more samples and help more people. “We all have those stories we tell ourselves,” she says about ruminating on negative thoughts. “You have to get out of your own head and just have fun.” Leslie and her husband Ron have been doing just that with their business since 2011. She also builds confidence by creating more positive energy in her life , such as standing in a superman pose, reading affirmations, creating vision boards and being grateful. Leslie recommends creating a vision statement for yourself and reading it daily to help you stay the course.

Be Here in a Year

Aana Camp had a lot of fear starting her Neora journey. She had tried two other network marketing companies before with little to no success. Having already contacted her network of family and friends with the previous two companies, she feared no one would believe in her again with a new business venture. “My biggest fear is what are people going to think of me?’” she says. Her reputation was on the line if she was a three-time failure. She found inspiration from a quote by Neora Founder and CEO Jeff Olson: “I used to care what people thought until I tried to pay my bills with their thoughts.” That quote became her personal mantra and her resilience kicked in as she put in the work. Her tip for overcoming her fear of prospecting new business is that any time she felt any doubt contacting a customer, she would do it quickly and get it done. She hated those feelings of fear, so she worked as fast and as hard as she could to give herself a distraction. Her actions allowed her to work through her obstacles because she wasn’t going to be the reason she didn’t succeed.

Take a Leap of Faith on Yourself

Steve Lee started with Neora after enjoying a successful career with another network marketing company. When he became a Brand Partner, Neora only had one product. He had been a fan of Jeff Olson for many years, but he kept doubting himself as a male selling skincare for a company that only has one product? It was the fear of the unknown that gave him trepidation. “Fear happens to everyone,” Steve says. “Acknowledge that it is there and just get busy, so you have no time to worry about it.” As Neora Founder and CEO Jeff Olson says in his popular book, The Slight Edge, “Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do.” Once we realize and remedy the problems keeping us from success, we immediately see our productivity increase. Steve advises being patient with yourself and not to strive for perfection, rather focus on progress instead. According to Steven, if you want to have success in any business, draw up a game plan, stick to it and make it a habit.

Something to Believe In

Jennifer Givens was worried about the integrity of what she was selling because she was concerned about wasting people’s time if the products didn’t work. Working as a full-time nurse and mom, she knew the precious nature of people’s time. She overcame those fears by becoming a product of the product. “There is no better way to build belief in the product then using the product yourself,” she says. She made the decision to do her due diligence on Neora’s products and business opportunity by using the products, watching product videos and completing the trainings to build the confidence that she was selling quality not just quantity. Whether it’s sending out samples to a new Preferred Customer or training a Brand Partner, Jennifer wants to be sure that her actions have value and will really help the people she serves. Her confidence in Neora quells her fears and allows her to find success in her business.

Most of the time we aren’t even aware of the emotional barriers that hold us back. But when finally figure out that the emotional hesitations are all in your head and you truly believe in yourself, then you can really achieve. It’s OK to feel fear in the moment, but it’s the actions you take next that really affects the outcome. What you do every day matters and success will come from the daily positive habits that contribute to making your business thrive.

New Enrollment Packs Make it Easier to Start Your Business, Your Way

Neora™ — Fri, 03 Jul 2020 15:00:00 +0000

Maybe you’ve been daydreaming of following your passion, feeding your entrepreneurial spirit and starting your own business for some time now. But in the end, something always seems to get in the way. Maybe it was worrying about the unknown, stepping outside your comfort zone or lacking the confidence that you had all the know-how you needed. Maybe you’ve been looking for a partnering business that shares your ideals.

COVID-19 Has Opened the Door to New Business Opportunity

We’re all experiencing the impact that COVID-19 has had on our lives socially, emotionally and financially, but many of us are also choosing to see the opportunities that it has pressed our way. While Americans are seeing a shift in their jobs, it’s actually inspiring them to be resourceful and step outside their comfort zones. Our country hasn’t experienced a pandemic of this level in 100 years, so it’s fair to say we’re all out of comfort zones.

Tap Into Your Entrepreneurial Spirit

Neora™ — Fri, 08 Nov 2019 19:19:57 +0000

Tap Into Your Entrepreneurial Spirit

Every November, we honor National Entrepreneurship Month and Women’s Entrepreneurship Day (November 19) by recognizing the great entrepreneurial spirit of those who believe in themselves to build something from the ground up. With ingenuity, grit and determination, entrepreneurs follow their passions, live life on their own terms and feel great pride in their ability to achieve their goals.

Making You Better

There are many benefits to running your own small business, including believing in what you do, spending more time doing the things that you want and job satisfaction. According to the American Express OPEN Small Business Monitor survey, most entrepreneurs are not only happy with their decision to be their own boss, but they are happy with life in general and feel secure about their future. More than 80 percent of entrepreneurs say their happiness is either partly or entirely tied to becoming an entrepreneur. When you are happy with the job that you are doing, you are more successful. A recent study from the Saïd Business School at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom finds that happier workers made roughly 13 percent more in sales compared to when those same employees were unhappy.

Failure is an Option

The fear of failure can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be a bad thing. It is how you handle your defeats that determines your success. Just think of where we would be if Thomas Edison gave up after his failures? Probably in the dark. He tested more than 3,000 designs on the practical and affordable light bulb and 6,000 materials for the filaments before finding the perfect match. His resilience to achieve his goals, even after multiple setbacks, led to some of the greatest inventions that have changed the world. You don’t have to be like Thomas Edison, but you could with the right attitude and determination. Entrepreneurs have a unique gift of staring adversity in the face and saying, “Nothing is standing in my way today.”

Side Hustle Success

By next year, more than 40 million people in America will be participating in the “gig” economy, which consists of independent contractors, freelancers and project-based employees. As more people think of innovative ways to find success that offers a flexible schedule and creative freedom, that trend will only go up. Starting your own side business doesn’t have to be a huge financial investment. There are plenty of opportunities where you can find success with minimal investment and low overhead. With the Neora Opportunity, you can offer Preferred Customers quality holistic anti-aging products that Make People Better, while giving you the autonomy to grow your business as you see fit. We give you the tools, training and support you need to help you along the way.

Good Business is Local

Most entrepreneurs own local small businesses, such as restaurants, dry cleaners and auto shops. When we invest our money locally, we not only help a fellow neighbor, but we enrich the community as well. The opportunity to spend locally helps create jobs and provides tax revenue for infrastructure and city services. As a Neora Brand Partner you are your own business. The business you generate contributes to your own community, whether it is offering holistic, anti-aging skincare and wellness products or simply giving someone the opportunity to join your team. A rising tide raises all ships and when one business can thrive, so can many.
