Millionaire #11...Coming Right UP?

It's been said that smart people learn from their own mistakes; but wise people learn from the mistakes of others.

When starting a new home based business, the value of surrounding yourself with successful people is truly priceless.

The truth is, if 10 of your best friends are millionaires, there's a pretty good chance that you are going to become #11.

How would you like this opportunity?

The more time you invest working with successful people, chances are, you will start thinking like them, speaking like them and taking action like them.

Over time, you will start offering value like them and then start earning like them.

When Sophia & I first started our New Business, our Company was hosting a LIVE Event in Las Vegas just a few days later.

We had a choice to make: Either keep the capital in our bank account to be used for advertising and marketing...OR...get to the event and meet our mentors and the top money earners in the Company.

So, that's exactly what we did. We invested in ourselves and our future and flew with our 4 1/2 month old son to Las Vegas for a 4 day weekend to meet with, get to know and pick the brains of the top leaders and income earners.

Not only did we dine with them and get to know them personally, but we asked questions and listened intently to exactly what they are doing to be top earners.

We introduced ourselves on breaks and asked a few questions and at every turn, we sought them out, to learn some more.




By the end of our first LIVE exposure to the business and top earners, we had pages and pages of notes, so that as soon as we returned home to begin marketing, we knew exactly what we had to do, in order to become one of them.

Well, after just 5 months into our New Business, we've been blessed to do just that, making over 5 figures in just our 4th month and right now, in just our 5th month, we have already earned over 15K, and we still have half the month to go!

We dove in, committed to learning the a new System, the Skills and a new way of marketing, and sure enough, we are now right on top of the Leaderboard in 6 out of 6 Categories that they rank their members.

Keep in mind that we did this without:

- Calling Cold Leads
- Pitching our Friends or Family
- Making a List of Everyone We Know
- Hosting One Home Party
- Attending Weekly Meetings or Hotel Events

Yes, we have cracked the code and are working daily with our team to duplicate our success.

Now we know that this type of success is NOT for everyone, but for the right people, it's the best way to master marketing on the internet, learn technology and position yourself in front of a huge audience of people who are already searching for what you have to offer.

This is how our System works and how you can start making big money with us.

Since we are doing it right now, we know exactly what to do, how to teach it and how to guide anyone with the desire to succeed, right to the top.

If that is you, go ahead and check out our Business & Marketing System.

We look forward to meeting you and teaching you everything we know...

Speak with you then,

Aaron & Sophia

Boxing & Success in the Marketplace

Just 48 hours ago, this past Saturday Night in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Hotel, Oscar De La Hoya and Manny "Pacman" Pacquio squared off in what was to be the best prize fight of the year.

Now if you know boxing, Oscar De La Hoya has been one of the biggest money earners in boxing history.

Manny Pacquio, although not as successful financially is the best pound for pound fighter in the World.

For the past 12 weeks before their historic fight, both of them spent 10 hours per day, training, studying tapes of each other and preparing for their battle.

Not shockingly, Manny Pacquio beat Oscar De La Hoya to a pulp, forcing the Champion not to come out to fight after the 8th round.

Truly, the fight was one sided, Pacquio beating De La Hoya to the punch every time and making De La Hoya's face look like a catcher's mit.

Moral of the story is this:

While boxing fans watched these two men prepare for what was to become a slugfest in the ring, what most people didn't see was between the lines.

While De La Hoya glamoured it up for the public and the media allowing them into his training camp and personal life, Pacquio stayed more focused on the fight itself, trained much harder and blocked out as many distractions as possible.

Sure, De La Hoya made a bunch of money because of all his publicity, but Manny won the fight because when training for the biggest fight of his life, he did what works.

Conclusion here: Looking good does not = success.

Doing what works is the only way to ensure the outcome you are looking for.

Just because someone likes the look or the appearance when it comes to marketing, what the real marketer is concerned with is not how it "looks", but how it "works".

Is it effective?

Is it persuassive?

Does it create an emotion that makes the prospect want to act...or is it just "entertaining"?

The purpose of your marketing is not to look good, but to give people what they really want, which is solutions to their problems, strategies that work in today's marketplace and cutting edge training that teaches them how to market, not just "pitch" or "prospect".

This is what makes the difference in success and failure.

Marketing is everything in today's economy.

Yes, it's important to offer great value in your service or product, but its the marketing that is going to move it into the marketplace.

If your marketing is not good, even with the best product in the world, it will not move nearly as much.

So be smart about your Marketing and who you are learning from.

For the best marketing training, start at the beginning.

It all begins with understanding your position in the marketplace - how others view you.

Then, it moves into the attration marketing principle - who will seek you out and find you.

Then, it moves into value and servant leadership.

Then, funded proposals and self liquidating offers.

Then, it moves into voluntary enrollment, sponsorship and then success.

This is the flow that the top marketers online are creating today.

This is the way of doing business in today's marketplace if you want to be like Manny Pacquio, a clear cut winner.

What Makes the Difference between Success & Failure?

Looking back at the past decade of my networking career, there are several philosophies that have greatly contributed to my success over the years.

Now keep in mind, back in 1995 when I first set out to take back control of my life, I was a personal trainer in a gym, reporting to work every day at 5:30 a.m. in a pair of shorts and a collard t-shirt.

My job entailed holding a clipboard and counting backwards from ten to one while my clients lifted weights.

Those days, I had a whole different set of philosophies.

I lived paycheck to paycheck, couldn't afford to take one day off no matter how I felt; tired, sick or whatever, bills always on my mind, commuting 45 minutes each way and having to put up with adult babies who complained, made excuses, procrastinated and cheated on their diets!

I did all this for 20K per year.

When I reached my own pain threshold, (you know...that point that you just can't take it anymore and know you have to do something about it), I made the decision to stop trading my time for dollars and never work for anyone else ever again. (new philosophies beginning to form)

So, even though I started out as a personal trainer living in a small apartment, I was able to flip my entire life around with one single decision to change.

I was so disgusted about what Corporate America was all about, that I got into business for myself and the rest as they say, is history.

After running my own one-man-band private label sports supplement business for several years and going backwards into a lot of deb't, I decided to get more serious about my present and future and got focused on success in network marketing.

I was committed to developing passive in'come though the power of leverage which came from building my people and marketing teams. (Notice I said, building people; not building my business. A philosophy inside a philosophy!)

At first, I did not get great results (to the naked eye at least), but over the years, the philosophies that I adhered to, along with total commitment, discipline and massive action, I've been able to reach a level of complete and total fre'edom.

If you came to our Industry for these same things, here's one of my Old vs. New Personal Philosophies that you may want to look into for yourself: ( I will publish more in future posts).

Old Philosophy - Don't do anything unless it can be done perfectly.

New Philosophy - Doing something, even if its wrong, is better than doing nothing at all.

As my friend (who I met up at the Ritz in West Palm last month for 8 days with our families) Litman says, "You don't have to get it right; just get it going."

Truth is, everyone is a perfectionist in some way.

And since that includes you, you've got two choices:

Either positive or negative.

The Positive Perfectionist is a doer.

They are producers.

They get going and make adjustments along the way.

They don't require approval or permission to do anything. They just do it.

Oftentimes they fire before they are ready or even aim. (Some of the biggest success stories come from this personality by the way!)

They makes changes as they go forward and get better as they continue.

They make progress, even if they experience a temporary set back. (Remember, the set back is the set UP, for the Come Back!)

They stay outside of their comfort zone, which is why they succeed. They are constantly chasing perfection through action.

They jump first and grow their wings on the way down.

They are big producers.

So, the key is to just get going. Just start.

Do the wrong things until you do the right things. As long as you are moving forward, you are making progress.

The Negative Perfectionist is a procrastinator.

Most often, they don't start anything unless it's perfect.

They seek approval and/or permission from others to move forward.

The Negative Perfetionist cleans their desk, organizes their files, and practices their approach, yet they never get anywhere because by the time they get around to doing actual business, they are too tired from all the "getting ready to get ready" and as a result, make no progress.

They call their sponsor and ask how they sound on their new headset, want to bounce new ideas off their friends and read the script a hundred times so that they can sound perfect when they read it to their suspects.

Anything to prevent having to take the real action that is going to make them successful.

Anything to keep them from getting out of their comfort zone.

Anything to keep them from having to make a decision and commit to it.

Anything from doing the wrong thing, so as not to look foolish or feel bad about themself.

Anything not to speak to new people, learn to market or improve their value by investing in themself.

So, here's how you go from being a Negative Perfectionist to a Positive Perfectionist:

Do something, anything, even if it's not 100% correct.

Take a chance.

Take a risk.

Invest in yourself and your leadership value.

Don't be afraid to fail.

Don't be afraid to rack up some losses.

Don't be afraid to take a step back in order to make the big leap.

What doesn't kill you will only make you stronger.

You can always go back and correct mistakes and by taking notes and keeping score with yourself and your progress, you will gain the most important thing, and that is experience.

And this experience you develop, will give you that 6th sense called Intuition, which will allow you to make smart choices, act without "thinking" and going from being in your head, to coming from your heart.

Remember, as my friend Jeff Combs says, "Heart beats Talent Everytime!"

Develop more heart and acheive more success!
