This morning I was up at 5am and by 5:10 out on the streets for a little over a mile run. As my feet were pounding the pavement, I reflected back on the day yesterday.

I must have had a dozen people reach out to me by either email or social media thanking me for my influence in their life in one shape, form or fashion.

I’ll be honest, it feels good.

Then I got to thinking about a shift I made many years ago that made a huge difference.

You see, I had a handful of heroes in network marketing who inspired me greatly and that made a great positive impact in my life. People like Dexter Yager and Bill Britt from my time in Amway… Mark Yarnell and Richard Brooke from their books… Tony Robbins from his books and audios.

They inspired me and it felt good to have that inspiration…

But no matter how much I got inspired by them, I never seemed to be able to have a breakthrough in my business.

A white man’s thoughts and feelings of helplessness regarding the death of George Floyd…

I wasn’t planning on sharing my thoughts about George Floyd’s death and certainly not racism in America as I don’t pretend to be any kind of expert. But this has been weighing so heavily on my heart the past few days, it’s all I can think to write about this morning.

Just in case you don’t know the story, the police were called on George Floyd for using a counterfeit twenty-dollar bill. The incident ended with a police officer suffocating and killing Mr. Floyd… despite his pleas and bystanders pleas for mercy. A quick check at CNN or FOX will give you no shortage of information.

Video footage released thus far, does not show any evidence of Mr Floyd resisting arrest. But even if there was evidence of that, it appears very clear that the officer was beyond excessive in his use of force. [Read more…]

Want to know how sleazy-scum-bag politicians can help you close more sales in network marketing?

Keep reading…

I’m really not much into politics… but one thing is for certain…

Successful politicians win campaigns because they understand what is arguably the most potent human emotion that drives people get out and vote…

FEAR

Sure, they make an effort to talk up their own credentials and policy issues…

But there’s a reason politicians run negative ads after negative ads slinging mud at their opponents…

If they don’t sling mud, they can’t implant gut-wrenching, nightmare-inducing FEAR into your mind of the devastating negative effects that will ensue should their opponent get elected.

Oh sure, everyone says they hate those negative ads but they continue to run.

And they always will.

Why?

Simple – fear works!

Use FEAR to close more sales in network marketing

Now I’m not saying to sling mud at your competition in network marketing… in fact, I teach against it.

What I am saying, is to induce fear like the below quote:

“In your last days, you’ll regret far more the things you didn’t do than the things you did do.”

That’s me using the fear of regret to get you to live an amazing life.

One of Tony Robbin’s most powerful closed-eye processes that he’s used to positively impact the lives of untold thousands of people is from something he calls the Dickens Process.

I won’t explain it in detail, but he masterfully gets you to imagine the worst possible scenario for your life should you fail to make the changes you know you need to make.

If you’ve ever been in the room when he does this, no doubt you remember the howls and screams from other participants.

You see, you may be willing to work hard to accomplish great things. But you’ll do even more because of the fear of regret for NOT doing them.

If you’re selling nutrition, people will do more to avoid being stricken with poor health than they will for excellent health.

Selling skin-care? people will do more to avoid looking old and wrinkled than they will to look young and sexy.

If you’re selling travel, people will do more to avoid regretting missing out on experiencing the world than getting to see the world.

Promoting events? People are more likely to go because of what they’ll miss out on if they don’t go compared to what they’ll learn if they do go.

No matter what you’re selling, realize that fear and regret are powerful motivators & incredibly powerful when used to close more sales in network marketing… even more powerful than the desire for gain.

You may not like this.

In fact, philosophically, you may hate it…

…But after personally selling millions of dollars online, in person, and from the stage, I can tell you from two decades of experience that this is the God’s honest truth.

Here’s what I’ll ALSO tell you…

If you try and use fear as manipulation (getting people to do what’s in YOUR best interest, not what’s in THEIR best interest), any success you have will be short-lived.

I’ve seen plenty of charlatans use fear as manipulation. It works. But I can promise you, not for long.

If you use fear to manipulate, the compound negative effects from sowing negative seeds will wreak havoc on your life.

I won’t name names, but I could give you plenty of people who have lost it all and more because of the compound negative effects of using manipulation.

If you’re going to use fear, use it because it’s genuinely in the best interests of your prospects to do whatever you’re influencing them to do.

Here’s a quick example…

I spent 5 long and painful years getting to a full-time income in network marketing. I struggled like crazy… wanted to quit 1,000 times… and thought so many times that maybe I’m just not cut out for this entrepreneurial thing. It sucked!

Then I discovered the 7 strategies outlined in my new book at www.7StrategiesBook.com. Once I implemented these principles into my business, my life took a 180-degree turn and I quickly got to a full-time income and have been crushing it for almost 20 years now.

If you’d like to shorten your learning curve DRAMATICALLY and not have to go through the 5 years of pain I went through, hop over to www.7StrategiesBook.com and pick up a copy. It’s $7 ($1 per strategy) and only 109 pages and you can read it in the afternoon.

Or, you can go it alone and spend the next 5 years continuing to bang your head against a wall as I did.

(Notice how I used the fear of staying stuck as a motivator to buy the book?)

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed today’s blog as much as I enjoyed writing it!

If you look at people who express the qualities of great leadership, you tend to notice a stubborn refusal to face reality.

Bill Gates had a vision of “a computer on every desk and in every home.”

The REALITY at that time made that vision unimaginable.

Martin Luther King had a vision of all men enjoying the same rights and privileges.

The REALITY at that time was massive segregation and unimaginable racism.

Nelson Mandela had a vision of ending apartheid in South Africa and instituting a democracy.

The REALITY was he went to prison for 27 years because of his efforts toward that vision.

We look at those visions now and they don’t seem so unrealistic because they are now today’s reality.

But let’s dive into a possible vision for you…

You, 12 months from now…

Earning a full-time income from home…

Financially free with a residual income that more than pays all your bills.

You, 2-3 years from now…

Earning 6 to multiple 6 figures per year.

You, 3-5 years from now…

A millionaire. Driving an exotic car, vacationing all over the world, and living in your dream home.

If any of those sound unrealistic…

My coaching for you is to stop basing your vision on today’s reality.

If I based my vision of becoming a millionaire in my twenties based on the reality of me failing for 5 years in a row, being a waiter, and living at home with my mother at age 24…

… I NEVER would have made my vision a reality.

After 25 years of entrepreneurship and studying the qualities of great leadership leaders, here’s what I see as common among ultra-powerful leaders.

• They are irrational. What most see as impossible, they see as possible.
• Great leaders live in an alternate reality. When the world is caving in and all seems lost, they have faith and certainty of a beautiful future.
• They are delusional with their faith. When they can’t see a light at the end of the tunnel, they continue moving forward as if the light was blinding them.
• Great leaders have an infectious optimism. They cause others to have irrational faith for no reason other than the leaders certainty is stronger than their doubt.
• They have the ability to convince us that all is not lost even when we’re afraid it is.

My friend, I don’t care WHAT downturn in the economy happens.

I don’t care if the entire world is caving in fear.

Nor do I even care if I’m stripped of everything I earn and every dollar I have.

I can guarantee you that I will win massively.

Why?

Because that’s what I choose.

That’s who I’ve decided I am.

Step into your power and decide that’s who you are.
