Told You So

Just wanted to post a short video of Dana and I getting our BMW “Told You So” license plate at the ViSalus National Training last year. I should get around to editing video a little more often!  It you’d like to drive your own BMW and not have to worry about where the payment is coming from or get national recognition for your accomplishments, give us a shout! Proud to be promoters of the Body by Vi 90 Day Challenge!

ViSalus Growth

Just a relatively short video from ViSalus going over the 3rd quarter 2011 Growth of the Body By Vi 90 Day Challenge. One interesting point that Blake Mallen makes is that ViSalus gave away $1.5 million in FREE merchandise to its promoters and customers. WOW, that’s more than some entire companies do in volume! While we are just getting started, there has never been a better time to get started! Get in contact with me and lets see if the time is right for you!

Hope you have a great week!

Give More Than You Receive

If you have read many of my posts, you will know that I am a huge fan of Jim Rohn’s work. He is known as America’s foremost business philosopher. I never get tired of hearing him speak. Thankfully there is a huge amount of his work available even though he passed away last year. I still subscribe to his Newsletter and the following “Vitamins for the Mind” post arrived today. I want to share Jim’s work for others to see, as I think this post was meant for me this morning. Hopefully, you will get something out of it as well.

Vitamins for the Mind
by Jim Rohn
Career/Marketplace
My father taught me to always do more than you get paid for as an investment in your future.
Whether you stay six weeks, six months or six years, always leave it better than you found it.
Don’t bring your need to the marketplace, bring your skill. If you don’t feel well, tell your doctor, but not the marketplace. If you need money, go to the bank, but not the marketplace.
If you make a sale, you can make a living. If you make an investment of time and good service in a customer, you can make a fortune.
Don’t just let your business or your job make something for you; let it make something of you.
Lack of homework shows up in the marketplace as well as in the classroom.
Where you start in the marketplace is not where you have to stay.
The worst days of those who enjoy what they do are better than the best days of those who don’t.
We get paid for bringing value to the marketplace. It takes time to bring value to the marketplace, but we get paid for the value, not the time.
Here’s the major problem with going on strike for more money: You cannot get rich by demand.
“Vitamins for the Mind” is a weekly sampling of original quotes on a specific topic taken from The Treasury of Quotes by Jim Rohn. The burgundy hardbound book with gold-foil lettering is a collection of more than 365 quotes on 60 topics gathered from Jim’s personal journals, seminars and books and spanning more than 40 years. Click here to order The Treasury of Quotes.

I’m trying to write something that can be of value related to this post, but Jim pretty much says it all. I hope you enjoyed this post.

Body By Vi BMW Bonus

Wow, I have to admit that when Dana and I started on this Challenge nearly 5 months ago, I knew I LOVED the product. I knew that I wanted to share the challenge with others. I even knew that we would get our products for free. I wanted to believe that we would one day qualify for the BMW bonus, but even with the wonderful ViSalus Sciences marketing plan, I had NO idea that we would do so as quickly as we have. I say we have because, we are literally just hours away from making that qualification. I say quickly, because by any stretch of the imagination, we have certainly not done it as quickly as hundreds of others have, but with our time constraints, we are just like the 1000’s if not millions of other people that know that the network marketing/mlm business philosophy makes so much sense but have never been able to achieve any success with it. If this rings a familiar bell with you, and you have any interest in helping others, I urge you to take a good LONG look at promoting the Body by Vi 90 day challenge with us.

I have some severe time constraints that limit how much time I have available to promote the challenge. We operate 4 grocery stores, one of which we are in the process of remodeling. If you are a business owner, you know the kind of time that entails. During these 5 months, my daughter had our first grandchild, my son was hospitalized, and the “life” that gets in the way sometimes just goes on and on. Beleive me. If we can qualify to drive an expense paid black BMW, so can you! Take a look at the company, the opportunity, the success stories. Then give us a call and let us help get YOU started on YOUR challenge!

Why Networkers LOVE Body By Vi

Tweet This Post

Just recently I received a call from an old friend who asked me to attend a Body By Vi 90 Day Challenge Party. Unfortunately, I could not attend. That cost me nearly 2 weeks! Fortunately, he was a good business person and followed up. We met at my office a couple of weeks later and he walked me through the ViSalus marketing plan. But even more importantly, he made me a couple of the Body By Vi shakes. WOW! I was hooked. Not only was there a huge market for the product and and excellent compensation plan but this stuff tasted GREAT!

Not being one to make rash decisions, I did my due diligence as well as I could in less than 24 hours, but after seeing what kind of growth ViSalus was having after creating the Body By Vi 90 Day Challenge marketing concept and investigating their back office options, I jumped in with both feet. We made Director in 24 or 25 days. That made me a “Rising Star” and qualified me for an extra bonus check! Ok, I could have probably done it faster, but being conservative like I am, I didn’t really share the opportunity with anyone until after I received my product, then waited 4 days until a Monday to start on the Challenge. Another mistake for me. Oh well, I got better!

You have to understand, I have been involved in several Network Marketing companies over the last 20 years and it usually took me months to generate a check at all (if at all), much less to actually get a check along with a BONUS within my first 30 days! Here is a short little video that I did a couple of days after qualifying for “Rising Star”

Come join us on this exciting journey!

Success vs. failure with social media

That’s right. Don Crowther — the Big Kahuna of social media… and the guy who created the breakthrough social media training program SMARTS — just posted a free, new video called “Social Media Doesn’t Work.”

Check out “Social Media Doesn’t Work” here

Now, I must admit, when I first heard about this video, I was flabbergasted. I mean, what in the heck is the world’s #1 expert on social media doing bashing social media? Has he lost his marbles… or has he just seen the light?

Turns out it’s neither. You see, Don readily admits that for most people social media doesn’t work. And the reason is simple: it’s because of a costly mistake that most social media marketers are making right now.

…a mistake that will doom your social media efforts to failure.

And a mistake that explains why so many are saying, “social media doesn’t work.”

The good news is, on this eye-opening video, Don shows you the deceptively simple, but highly effective secrets that can turn it all around and let you finally start making money with social media.

These are the same secrets Don, his clients and his students have been using to rake in millions of dollars using social media to market their products and services.

And here’s something else: Don is also going to give you a downloadable worksheet that shows you in just 5 minutes precisely how well you’re doing with social media. You’ll quickly discover whether you’re wasting your time, or are on your way to making serious money.

Believe me, this video and worksheet are crucial if you want to find success with social media.

Last thing: the video has been specially formatted so you can watch it on your iPhone, iPad or iTouch without any hassles or delays.

I urge you to check out the video right away — and then start putting Don’s ideas to work in your business right away.

Enjoy,

Michael

P.S. By the way, Don also shares some remarkable social media success stories on the video — from companies that are doing social media right. And he names names.

The Right Mindset Makes It Easy To Make Blogs Work For Your Business

Blogging is taking off like a wildfire. People are blogging about just about anything you can think of. From the daily routine of their cat, to technology reviews, to politics.

Until the blogosphere sorts itself out and matures a bit more, it may be difficult to tell exactly how this new frontier of instant publishing can help you and your business grow. But don’t worry – you’ll start getting a flood of new ideas in
the coming months.

For now, the most important thing you can do is develop the right mindset about business blogging. What you think about something, and how you strategize applying it in your business very often has more to do with success than the
technology, tool, or resource itself.

With that in mind, here is the most important thing you can do. Keep your eye on people.

DO NOT get stuck on the “technology.” That’s what drove all the pie-in-the-sky dot.com dreamers into the financial abyss. It’s people and personal communication that matter most, and should always be a the center of all your thoughts, strategies, and actions. A managed site lite QuanSite can help you stay focused on content instead of technology!

Blogging is just a tool. But it’s a tool that can and should become a major support arm of your business. Why?

Because it exponentially multiplies the world’s oldest, most favored, and trusted form of information sharing — word of mouth.

Just ask yourself, whom do you trust the most to give you advice, recommendations, and information about opportunities, purchases, or choices? Someone you know and trust, right? Someone who you feel is just like you.

That type of trust comes from personal communication, social interaction, and the joining together of like-minded individuals. Blogging simply magnifies and expands that sense of community and more personalized communication, and then expands the reach across the entire world!

Link trust; with respect, positioning, and word-of-mouth and you have the makings of a powerful marketing arm that can initiate an ever-growing stream of highly targeted prospects.

Remember, it’s the relationships that matter most. Keep your eye on that fact, and you’ll always have the right mindset for business blogging that’s a benefit for you and your readers.
