Keeping the Belief Against the Odds
I just left Australia, after attending the official launch of my company there. It culminated on Saturday night with a recognition ceremony, where I was awarded a beautiful trophy for the speed I reached the rank of Double Diamond Director. When I got up to receive the recognition, I got so emotional at one point, I couldn’t even speak, as I tried unsuccessfully, to fight back the tears.
That’s not like me. But the events of the evening conspired to make it so...
You see, I have been to dozens of conventions and conferences where the top leaders are honored. And I’ve received my share of recognition, awards and pins. But for most of those conferences in the early years, I was the guy in the back row, hanging on by a thread.
I would watch person after person go across the stage, wondering what they had that I didn’t; wondering what the real secret was – the one they weren’t telling me. I remember the first convention I went to…
I was a struggling free lance writer at the time, earning about $8,000 a year. The event was in Anaheim, California. I decided to bill myself as a travel writer, and pitched a story to the Chamber of Commerce there. They got me a comp room for two nights at a hotel about 30 blocks away from the convention hotel, and American Airlines comped me a ticket. I remember walking that 30 blocks each way in the summer heat, because I didn’t have cab fare. Thankfully the convention included lunch each day, because those were the only meals I ate. I was so broke it hurt, but watching all those people cross the stage lit up a dream in me that never died. I left feeling ten feet tall and bullet-proof, ready to take on the world.
The following conventions were not so happy. Now the euphoria and idealism were wearing off...
I was doing meetings all the time, spending money, going to events, and my bonus checks were a joke. I would sponsor someone, certain they were my next Diamond Director, only to have them drop out in a couple of months. People didn’t use the products. Duplication wasn’t happening. I gave all those presentations about living your dreams, but I was starting to doubt it was ever going to happen for me and my people.
But I kept going to the conferences and conventions…
I remember driving hours each morning and night, because I didn’t have money to stay in a hotel. Other times I remember rooming with four or six of us, sleeping on the floor, in some cheap dive miles away from the host hotel. But most of all I remember feeling so frustrated, sitting out in the audience while so many other people were getting the big bonus checks, awards, trips, prizes, cars, and recognition.
Fast forward to the other night. We had our managers and senior managers – our beginning ranks – come to the stage and share their “why they are in the business” stories. I heard people talking about staying down the road in budget hotels, six to a room. Others who sold their bed to attend. One of my Directors talked about how bitterly disappointed he was when he finally got the bike he wanted for Christmas as a kid, and it turned out to be a beat up used one.
Speaker after speaker was telling stories that had been my stories. I related and felt for each one of them. Only now, things are different for me…
Now I am the Double Diamond Director. I won the cruise in March. I get $2,000 a month expense allowance, and another two grand a month for a bonus car. I’ve already won the trip to Hawaii for next January. And in a little less than a year, I have over $66,000 a month in RESIDUAL income, whether I ever work another day. And if I did stop working (which I won’t), I have enough trained leaders and duplication going on in the group, that my residual would still crack $100K a month by year’s end.
So now I am the guy walking across the stage getting all the perks, and truly living the lifestyle of my dreams. I am the happiest person I know. Consequently the emotion of it all got to me, and I stood up there behind the lectern, choked up, unable to talk.
But talk I had to do. Because I know there is a whole new generation of people in the back rows, still struggling. Wondering what I have that they don’t. So I told them my story...
The hard days with all the dropouts, no shows, and frustration. The disappointment and fear. The days of wondering how the rent would get paid, how I could afford a product order that month, and parking my beat up car in the back lot, so prospects wouldn’t see what I was driving.
They needed to know about all of the negative programming and ridicule they are likely to face from the people around them. The doubt that their families will try to infect them with, and the dangers of what will happen if they buy into that doubt.
Those people needed to hear – and know – and know that they know – that I have been where they are now, and that they can be where I am now.
And so can you…
Which is why I am telling you all this. If you are one of the people who haven’t yet broken through, but you still have hope, you still have vision, and you still have belief, I want to help you too.
Not to sound arrogant, but I have this MLM thing figured out. Obviously it took me a while, and I made tons of mistakes along the way, but I finally cracked the code.
I’ve been taking people who have never even been in the business before, and getting them to bonus checks of $4,000, $5,000 and $7,000 a month in less than a year. People with even a little experience are doing even better.
I really know the best ways to approach people and weed out the tire kickers. I’ve learned how to create culture so people want to work with you. The best places to find prospects, how to present to them, and get them started in the business. Most of all, I know about DUPLICATION. How to do the job once, and start a chain reaction that will continue for hundreds of levels.
I created a resource that will show you exactly what to do, when to do it, and guide you step-by-step through the process. But I’m afraid a misunderstanding may have prevented you from getting it.
Let me explain…
The resource that can guide you exactly through the step-by-step process to building a huge network is titled, “Duplication Nation: How to Build a Massive Network Marketing/Direct Selling Organization.” It’s been out for almost a year. But I’m afraid there have been some misconceptions about it. Misconceptions that may have prevented you from taking advantage of this powerful resource.
The problem comes in because “Duplication Nation” replaced my “How to Earn at Least $100,000 a Year in Network Marketing” training series. Which has been the #1 selling training series in the history of the business. One that almost everyone in the biz either already owns, or was exposed to from their sponsorship line.
So many people – and you could be one of them – thought that “Duplication Nation” was just a revised edition of the old training. Big mistake.
With “Duplication Nation” I started from scratch, creating a step-by-step curriculum of how you build a successful network. It allowed me to incorporate all of the new information I’d learned consulting with some of the highest income earners in the industry. Factor in what I learned about speaking to groups, developing leaders, writing copy, using the Internet and a host of other things.
Added in a session on building a consumer group, and another on how to stretch out your warm market. It’s available on 12 audio CDs, or 12 DVDs. It comes with a Study Guide, a laminated chart to track your organization, 25 counseling forms, and an inspirational poster.
It’s all-new, all different, and most importantly, it is the absolute real-deal system that works. It is the stuff I am doing right now, in today’s marketplace, to create the success I told you about.
This powerful training will teach you exactly how to build a large and successful organization. From getting started right to prospecting, from making compelling presentations to holding effective meetings, and from working with long distance lines to leading the organization – this is the whole package. You'll learn the advanced leadership skills necessary to motivate your group, duplicate many levels deeper, and create the culture of your organization. And if you want to really move fast, you can order the Leadership Kit. It includes both the 12 Audio CDs and 12 Video DVDs, and you also get eight additional Study Guides for group training. This way you can get your key leaders together and do the complete training in your living room. Anyway, I don’t
want to pitch you on this. I just want you to be aware of what it is, and what it can do for you. I wanted to make sure you understand that it is not another edition of the “100K” training series, but a brand new and very comprehensive training of what I’m doing to build successfully right now.

After Australia, I went on to conduct program in Russia, Lithuania and Ukraine. That area of the world has embraced Network Marketing with a passion. It’s very exciting to see the success they are having already, and calculate where it is headed. I’m home just for a day, then go to conduct programs in Canada and Puerto Rico. After I get back, I’ll let you know how things are developing there. In the meantime, make sure that YOU don’t buy into the doubt merchants and the dream stealers. Don’t let fear or frustration deter you from your purpose. I’m living proof that you can go from the back of the convention to walking across that stage at it. You are probably surrounded
by people who can give you all the logical reasons why MLM doesn’t work, and you can’t do it.
They’re wrong. It does work, and you really can do it. It takes work, you need the right training, and you’ll have to have the constitution to persevere. But man, is it worth it!
