Startling Statistics on Financial Situation
2/3 of Americans are Struggling to Get By - Huffington Post- "The Working Poor"
This reminds me of the scene in "The Titanic" where the ship was going down, and the violinists still played, unmoved by what was going on around them.
Americans Buried Under Debt CNN Money
About one out of every five U.S. households owe more on credit cards, medical bills, student loans and other debts not backed by collateral than they have in savings and other liquid assets, according to a new University of Michigan report published Tuesday.

WORLDVENTURES Logo - Phoenix Out of Ashes
RISING
OUT OF THE ASHES - THE PHOENIX - I found out something else cool about
WorldVentures. A leader who was being recognized at last weekend's event
(THE VIEW) brought up the cool logo. Wayne Nugent, the co-founder of
WorldVentures spoke
up about it--and what
he said blew me away...
You see this logo? It is the Phoenix. Some of
you who have followed me for a while may know that I love the Phoenix,
because it is the story of my life. The Phoenix is a bird that rises up
out of the ashes...
You see, I suffered severe child abuse as a little
girl that has hurt and hindered me throughout my life in thousands of
ways, but no matter what happens, I've always been a survivor. Somehow I
always rise from the ashes, stronger than before...
This is one of the
defining symbols for my life.
How shocked was I to realize that the
Phoenix is the logo for WorldVentures?!?! There are so many clues that I
am in the right place, right where I'm supposed to be, this is one of
many... It's so nice to know that things are unfolding just like they
should. This is not just any logo. It's a powerful symbol of man's
ability to prevail despite challenges. Out of the ashes, we shall
rise... Nothing can hold us back!!!

Born to Fly
What areas in your life need to be released? Where are you bound up, held up, boxed-up or closed up? What obstacles are in the way of you lifting your head, even to step towards the light shining brightly in your own heart? What excuses do you create to keep yourself in the box of a mediocre existence?
Picture, if you will, what it would feel like to be free; to be completely released in those ar
eas
that have you wound up so tightly, free to soar, unencumbered by the
lies, forgiven for past mistakes, undaunted by the dangers of taking
flight and enjoying your life to the fullest?
Does fear hold you captive? Are you afraid of losing control? Afraid to fly? Afraid to fall? Afraid to soar? Terrified of venturing beyond the prison of your own limitations?
What about your beliefs? Do you find it impossible to believe in yourself deep down? Are you caught in the arduous treadmill of desire and self-sabotage? Caught up in feelings of obligation to please the world? Who do you become when you sacrifice your wants, needs and desires to please somebody else? What do you tell yourself as you trade your self-expression in exchange for "love," acceptance and approval?
Do you live in the past while fantasizing about your future? Do you abandon who you are today so as to avoid the pain of reality? Are you living the life that someone else created for you? Do you find it impossible to be who you really are?
Are you in touch with your voice? Do you own your life? Are your relationships deepening? Is your bank account thriving? Can you feel the love of God in the depths of your soul? Are you setting an example that you want your kids to follow? Is time your master? Do your emotions scare you?
Your life is like a lump-of-clay... You can leave it as it is, or you can begin to mold it into the shape that YOU DESIRE. If you want peace, you can create it for yourself. If you want love, you can remove the barriers. If you want financial success, you can prepare your mind to receive prosperity. If you want to fly, you can mold for yourself wings...
Freedom is creating the life you want in all areas. Freedom is knowing that you are the one who decides to embrace it. The choice is yours, and knowing that there are infinite options, but limited time...
When will you love yourself enough to open up and fly?

Agreement Or Bust
I've been in the sales arena for years and years. One thing that I've learned is that you have to get AGREEMENT from the prospect before you can make a sale. From the moment you open your mouth, until the moment the purchase is made, all parties must agree. There are several phases in each sales process, no matter what it is you offer. During each phase, you must get AGREEMENT before you can go to the next phase.
If you don't get AGREEMENT before carrying on, you will not change the prospects mind, and you will ruin your credibility with the prospect too. Continuing a presentation without AGREEMENT is degrading and desperate. How much more dignified is it to stop while you're ahead? Stopping and dealing with disagreement shows that you are savvy, and confident in your product, and it shows that you're in control and aware of what's happening with your prospect. Your time is valuable. Get AGREEMENT, or go home.
Getting AGREEMENT is a skill that I learned long ago when I was new to sales. Today it's second-nature to me. My entire sales process hinges on AGREEMENT. I do not move forward without AGREEMENT. I will stop in the middle of a presentation if I do not have AGREEMENT. It shocks people, and that's okay. You can shock people and still make a sale--lots of sales... You have to be willing at any time to walk away from the deal--no emotional ties. It must be a win/win situation, and your prospect must agree all the way through.
Proceeding without AGREEMENT is a waste of my time. I simply won't do it. I would rather let the disagreeable person off the hook and spend my energy finding someone who agrees with me--or giving the person time to "simmer" longer, or stew over what I have to offer. Perhaps the prospect will benefit from more information or attending a presentation. No doesn't always mean no, but lack of AGREEMENT is the kiss of death.
You have to be good at sniffing out disagreement and incongruency in your sales process. You have to learn what disagreement is... A person who is incongruent won't say, "I'm incongruent." They would rather be polite and act remotely interested, but give vague answers. Not everyone will tell you what they're thinking. Not everyone will realize what they are thinking. It's up to you, as the presenter, to flesh out the real situation to keep from wasting your precious moments on someone who doesn't agree with what you're saying.
I cannot sell to someone who is not in 100% AGREEMENT with any aspect of my presentation. Sales is all about congruency and AGREEMENT, every step of the way.
People think sales is about convincing someone to buy something, but that's incorrect. Selling is about finding people who need, want or will benefit from what we offer and separating that person from those who are not interested. It's about educating the consumer, and presenting your product in a way that shows value. It's about positioning the product in the eye of the prospect so that the prospect decides to make the purchase on his or her own.
A great sales person intuitively knows what types of behaviors are indicative of a no-win-situation. The key to becoming good at signing up reps is learning who is really serious, and who is kicking-tires... It's about being brave enough to ask the tough questions rather than taking a walk through a fantasy fairy tale of wishing for a sale.
I'd rather hear NO than maybe any day of the week! I can work with no. Maybe? There is nothing I can do with maybe.
Example
Introduction to Product
Today while grabbing my coffee at Starbucks, I was talking to a prospect on the phone. I asked him if he's seen what I'm doing online. He found me on Twitter. He said, he has seen a couple of things... AGREEMENT BELL 1 (DING DING)
Call to Action
I told him that I'm doing something big and that I'm all in, and I asked him if he would take a look at it. He said, "Yes, I will." AGREEMENT BELL 2 (DING DING)
Commitment
Then I asked him when would be a good time for him to watch the video, and he told me that he would watch the video this weekend (today is Wednesday morning). DISAGREEMENT BUZZER (EEEEEE)
Address Disagreement
This was not a good answer for me. It's unacceptable. It shows me that this person is not serious about watching the video... I have never, ever, ever signed-up a rep who said, "I will watch it this weekend." That is a nice blow-off. Now, if I were a nice "agreeable" person, then I would placate this guy and tell him I'll call him Monday, but no thank you. Obviously I have not made my case clear enough. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE AND IS FREAKING ME OUT, and he's going to wait to watch it THIS WEEKEND? WTF? Nope. Not happening.
So I said, "Well, I don't think that will work. You're not really interested in this, are you." (PULL BACK & PUSH FOR THE NO) I am not afraid to hear no. I'm not afraid to let a prospect go. My whole entire sales process is built around letting the prospect OFF THE HOOK, just as much as it is displaying the benefits to get the prospect ON THE HOOK. I know this is counter-intuitive for new people, but you must understand human nature. You can't convince anyone anything. They must come to their own realizations. As a person with limited time in a day, you must become well studied in how people behave when they're not buying what you're selling--otherwise, you'll go broke.
And through the course of the conversation, I found out his objections, which were that he doesn't really have time to "go to meetings," etc... So basically, the underlying problem is not that he can't watch it this week, it's that he just didn't want to watch the presentation, and he was trying to let me down easy. Instead of being naive and calling him on Monday like a good little girl, I pushed for the no, poked around for the objection and nipped the situation in the bud.
What this tactic did was allowed me to know up front that the guy is not interested, or needs more work from a value-prospective, and kept me from trying to sell my product in vain. I saved myself the frustration of rejection and thinking it was something I did. Wild horses can't make someone buy something if they aren't in AGREEMENT, so find out where they really are so you can cut your losses and move to someone who's ready to make a move... Or, find out what they disagree with and overcome their objections, or build trust... Anything!!! Just get on the same page.
The secret to selling stuff, or sharing stuff, or marketing stuff, is to seek-out AGREEMENT, and to not be afraid of the word "NO." The word No is a very informative word. It tells you where the prospect really is in their head, because the only thing worse than hearing the word "No" from a prospect, is hearing the word "Maybe" from someone who really means NO. As a professional, I need to know where I stand so I can take the actions that are best for all parties.
If you are on my Free People Team, or on any of my other teams and you want to know more about AGREEMENT, give me a call. I'm glad to discuss.

7 Ways We Were Blessed at The View 2012
Free People Team / Team Legacy |
Jefferson Santos & Megan Santos |
Words are really inadequate to describe the intensity of the fire that was burning in all our hearts and passed from person-to-person. Since this is a blog post recap of The View from the Edge 2012, held at the Allen Events Center, I'll try my best to boil it down to the 7 most common incredible denominators:
7 Ways We Were Blessed at The View 2012
Free People Team / Team Legacy |
2. Corporate Connections
3. Leadership Inspiration
4. Motivation & Guidance
5. Recognition
6. Fun, Parties, Meals & Dancing
7. Future Focus
1. Team Connections
Due to our heavy involvement in social media, our team is spread out throughout the United States. This means, we spend a lot of time working together over the phone. I had not even met some of my top leaders yet! It was such a blessing to look these friends in the eye and hug their necks! We knew we had a short time together and needed to make the best of it, plus, several of my teammates stayed at my home, which made it super-enriching. We were able to spend time bonding that we would not have had otherwise. I have a feeling that we will not only work together for many years to come, but will continue to grow as friends as well. This, is perhaps the best part of The View for me. I really love connecting with others in a deeper way. We are becoming like FAMILY!
2. Corporate Connection
Called to Succeed Team w/Jefferson Santos |
The View gave us a much better vantage of WorldVentures as a corporation. The more you know about the company, the better you can share the message of opportunity and expansion with others. We were fortunate to be able to hear from our top leaders about the explosive growth of WorldVentures--we're looking at 1,000% growth for 2012, as well as the plans for fortifying our international endeavors. We heard from all the top executives, many of which have been with the company since day one, as well as new seasoned executives being recruited as we launch into a billion dollar company. The momentum is astounding. We've got the deal. Oh, and if you're a professional looking for a career change, WorldVentures IS HIRING top talent to take us to the top and beyond.
3. Leadership Inspiration

We enjoyed a fancy kick-off dinner with a ride in a fancy limo for the top teams, plus a saunter down the red carpet. we felt like a movie stars... The next night's Halloween Costume Party was hands down the best costume party I've ever attended. Those party-people at WorldVentures certainly know how to party. The events were amazing. Call me crazy, but somehow, even the bathroom breaks were fun.

The Rung of Belief
by Jenna Ryan "dotJenna"
One of the most common issues for people who join network
marketing is the tendency to give up once things get difficult. People
come into the business gung-ho, ready to tackle the world, then as soon
as they come to realize their own limitations, they become discouraged
and feel like giving up.
In my minds eye, I see levels of Personal Development that each of my new recruits are standing in when they sign-up on day one... It's like rungs of a ladder reaching up into the clouds, up to their goals, dreams, desires and visions. Each of the rungs must be mastered before the recruit can progress to the next level. It seems everyone wants success, but not everyone is willing, or prepared to take the steps on the ladder that are required to get there.
One of the first rungs on the ladder is BELIEF that you CAN and WILL achieve, and that you'll do whatever it takes to accomplish your goals. You must step-up firmly on the Rung of Belief before you can take the next step, and the next and the next. You must pass this "test" so to speak, before you can go any higher in life--inside or outside of the network marketing business.
The Rung of Belief
You see, results are dependent on your actions, and your actions are guided by your internal beliefs. The things you choose to do when you BELIEVE you can accomplish something is opposite of the actions you will take when you doubt yourself. The Rung of Belief is the rudder that causes you to take action to achieve your goals. You must step up on The Rung of Belief if you wish to achieve success in any endeavor.
As you can see, firm footing on the Rung of Belief is a valuable asset. This posture, or position, if you will, keeps you motivated to take the right actions at the right times to ensure that you will live up to your own expectations of success. Unfortunately, many obstacles block our ability to step into belief in ourselves; including self-doubt, fears, insecurities and self-sabotage.
How to Step Up Onto the Rung of Belief
Stepping up onto the Rung of Belief is crucial, and can't be overlooked. You have to do what it takes to get positioned on this rung so that you can move onward and upward to achieving success. Here are five suggestions for getting past your own fear, doubt and unbelief.
1. Stay plugged-in. Stay plugged-into the source of your business at all costs. Make a sacrifice to attend trainings, make an effort to connect with your leaders and mentors. Just like iron sharpens iron, being around other people who believe in themselves and who believe in you can help you believe in yourself.
2. Seek counsel. Many times we just need to talk to someone about our insecurities. Just sharing how we feel inadequate is liberating enough to help us sort through our own thoughts, and help to reset our mind to the truth--that we can and will make it to the top. Talking about your doubts and then listening and acting upon the advice of your leaders and support system is a way to get your needs met. When your needs are not met, you feel powerless, worthless and your belief wains. When your needs are met, you feel powerful, valuable and ready to conquer the world.
3. Soak in positive messages.Your position on the Rung of Belief can be bolstered greatly by staying immersed in positive messages. Get hold of training audios, videos, books, or articles from positive, motivational people. Find mentors that have overcome the obstacles that are in your way and who can motivate your heart to believe in yourself more and more every day.
4. Know your obstacles. Examine your own heart to figure out what the obstacles are that are blocking you from being able to believe in yourself. Perhaps there are people in your life who are holding you back? Maybe you were misled as a child and told you will never accomplish anything? Maybe you are afraid of failing, so you stay in your comfort zone? Maybe you are afraid of success, so you procrastinate and sabotage yourself? Finding the source of your disbelief is key to overcoming the obstacle. "You can't fix what you don't face."
5. Pray & meditate. There are some things that you just cannot do on your own. You need your higher power and your higher self to do it for you. There is wisdom and revelation available to you from God, and from your own subconscious that will help you to untangle the knots of self-limiting beliefs. There are keys to helping you overcome your limitations within the realm of prayer and meditation. Take time to seek answers from the wisdom that is in your own soul and spirit. Your success is just a belief away.
So there you have it! The Rung of Belief. This is a crucial point for any person to get past if you want to succeed in life. For many people, belief in oneself is easy at first, but then, when you reach your own limitations, that belief starts to slip and you fall off the ladder. My suggestion is to stay plugged into the source of your endeavor--in the case of network marketing, that means your team, your company trainings and meetings, to talk to your mentors, soak in positive messages, get to know yourself by defining your obstacles, and pray and meditate for higher wisdom. If you can muster the courage to take these actions, then you will find yourself firmly planted on the Rung of Belief, ready to take that next step toward your destiny.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

Get hold of training audios, videos, books, or articles from positive, motivational people. Find mentors that have overcome the obstacles that are in your way and who can motivate your heart to believe in yourself more and more every day.
4. Know your obstacles. Examine your own heart to figure out what the obstacles are that are blocking you from being able to believe in yourself. Perhaps there are people in your life who are holding you back? Maybe you were misled as a child and told you will never accomplish anything? Maybe you are afraid of failing, so you stay in your comfort zone? Maybe you are afraid of success, so you procrastinate and sabotage yourself? Finding the source of your disbelief is key to overcoming the obstacle. "You can't fix what you don't face."
5. Pray & meditate. There are some things that you just cannot do on your own. You need your higher power and your higher self to do it for you. There is wisdom and revelation available to you from God, and from your own subconscious that will help you to untangle the knots of self-limiting beliefs. There are keys to helping you overcome your limitations within the realm of prayer and meditation. Take time to seek answers from the wisdom that is in your own soul and spirit. Your success is just a belief away.
So there you have it! The Rung of Belief. This is a crucial point for any person to get past if you want to succeed in life. For many people, belief in oneself is easy at first, but then, when you reach your own limitations, that belief starts to slip and you fall off the ladder. My suggestion is to stay plugged into the source of your endeavor--in the case of network marketing, that means your team, your company trainings and meetings, to talk to your mentors, soak in positive messages, get to know yourself by defining your obstacles, and pray and meditate for higher wisdom. If you can muster the courage to take these actions, then you will find yourself firmly planted on the Rung of Belief, ready to take that next step toward your destiny.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

DreamTrips U
DreamTrips U is our flagship product for college students age 18-25.
Program Allows Students to Travel Around the World and Get Paid KREX Grand Junction, CO
Part of the DreamTrips product line, DreamTrips U is WorldVentures’ first product geared specifically toward students and young professionals between the ages of 18 and 25 who are interested in leisure travel at discounted prices. Once they become DreamTrips U Members, they have access to a variety of packaged vacations, including many designed around their school breaks. And if they’re looking for a way to earn extra income to pay for school, housing or books, they can join the College/Young Professional Program and earn commissions based on marketing the DreamTrips U Membership to friends and classmates.
“The college-age demographic is one of the most challenged by the current economic climate,” says WorldVentures Chief Strategy Officer Eddie Head. “Our College/Young Professional Program provides a dramatically reduced pricing option for a student or young professional to get started in a business growing rapidly within the broader global market.”
Initially launched to a small test market in the United States, DreamTrips U and the College/Young Professional Program showed immediate potential when thousands of students in the Midwest began introducing the product to their friends and fellow students. Within the first four weeks of the trial period, more than 2,000 young professionals were participating in the programs.
“DreamTrips U provides a way for students and young adults to enjoy the adventure of vacationing otherwise too costly for most within their age group,” Head says. “We want to empower young people to effectively harness their ambition early in their professional lives.”

Posture Up (Thoughts from Super Saturday)
One thing I learned yesterday, and that I have really been learning
throughout the trainings given by WorldVentures is that we cannot (none
of us) can reach our full potential with the mindset we are presently
at. If we wish to achieve IMD and beyond in our lives, then we must set
our minds at that level.
Brian Donovan spoke about this, and it dawned on me at Millionaire Bootcamp. This is also something I have heard time and again from motivational books and speakers, and especially from the Bible. Christians are called to walk with a power that cannot be seen. This, my fellow FREE PEOPLE TEAM, is what we MUST do if we are to reach the top...
So what does this mean? This means we need to "act as if." This incorporates a sort of dynamic visualization process, where you are continually placing your psyche in the place of one who has ALREADY ACHIEVED that which you desire.
So, when you speak to a prospect, you become skilled at placing yourself at the highest level of achievement in your own mind before opening your mouth. This means that you expect good things to happen every where you turn. Everything about you should line-up with the successful position you wish to attain, including:
- Your thoughts
- Your actions
- Your reactions
- Your relationships
- Your words
If you want to BE a person who is FREE, then you must walk like, talk like and act like a free and successful person. There is no other way.
"Where you are right now in your business is EXACTLY where you deserve to be." Brian Donovan
This means that you are getting out of your business EXACTLY what you expect to get. You can go no higher than your own expectations, therefore, it is crucial that you turn up your mentality to the level you wish to attain, and begin to expect the things that the IMD expects.
This is what is meant by Posture Up. And remember. The world is watching you. Your team is watching you. You can't get very far with a team that is thinking low to the ground. You must raise your own standards high, and this will have a domino effect on your team, and cause you success beyond your expectations.
Rid your life of negative, less-than, unworthy thoughts. Flood your mind with waking visions of greatness, achievement, courage and strength. "Ask yourself, what would Jefferson do?"

Is World Ventures a Scam?
Every now and then, you will come across people who purport that World Ventures is a scam. This based on my research, this claim is unfounded. Yes, there are websites out there that make negative statements about World Ventures, and a few bloggers spread lies about the organization, but I can find no negative reports from credible news sources.
Anyone can write anything in a free blog like blogger, or on a social media site... Such statements are not always true, and there is no standard among those who are not trained journalists for fact-checking. Just because you see negative information on a blog, do not assume what you find is true. Check the resources of the blog post. Look for documentation and/or proof of said statements, before you take them to heart. The internet is just like a bathroom wall. Anyone can say anything... And negative people who are unsuccessful have let their bitterness bend the truth. Just be careful.
I have created this article to answer those who would question the viability of World Ventures as an organization. Here are the things I have found about the company that may help to ease your mind.

- World Ventures is only a 6 year old company, yet is already entered in the Direct Selling News Global Top 100 Companies.
Time Leverage
How much time can we save in a day? No matter how motivated or
educated a person is, he or she still only has 24 hours in a day, so how
do they use those hours to get so much more output than the average
person?
A lever is a device that multiplies the effort applied. Archimedes once stated: If I had a lever long enough I could move the world. The concept is the same for the better output. If we apply enough leverage then we can achieve more than any level of productivity that we imagine.
This article is copied from Time Leverage
Time is the most valuable resource we have. We each have exactly the same amount each day (24 hours). Financially successful people do not think in terms of saving time, but rather, in terms of leveraging time. In other words they are constantly looking for better answers to the question: how can I get better productivity in each 24 hour period? This is the essential question that we need to answer in order to discover how to best leverage our own time.
This post you are reading now is a perfect example of leveraging time. It requires only a small amount of time for me to write, because it is published on the blog, hundreds of people will read the post. If I were to teach what is in the post to each person individually then it would require months of my time, yet I achieve the same teaching in the short time it takes to write the post. The post is a time lever as well as the internet.
Time saving for work is very important, but it will limit your productivity only to the hours you saved. On the other hand, time leveraging allows you to multiply the effort applied exceeding that limit if you always look for how to leverage best. However, it always requires experience to choose one's best strategy for time leveraging.

Residual Income
Residual Income is also called "Passive Income" or "Recurring Income." This is income that you keep making again and again, after your original effort.
Residual income is similar to earning interest or dividends on money that you have saved. Contrast residual income with linear income, which is a one-shot fee, wage, commission or salary. Linear income is where you trade hours for dollars, ie: You work 40 hours, you get paid 40 hours. Your pay stops when you stop working... Residual income keeps going indefinitely. You can either work hard and get paid once, or work hard and keep getting paid over and over again...
One of the great advantages of residual income is that once things are set in motion, you continue making money from your initial efforts, while gaining time to devote to other things... such as generating more streams of residual income.
Ways to Generate Residual Income
Passive income is an income received on a regular basis, with little effort required to maintain it. Making residual income is about working in a way that pays not one time, but continually. Residual income is all about diversification and ensuring different sources of income.
Another common definition of residual income is any income generated through indirect involvement with something. The idea of residual or passive income is popular since the potential of earning extra money without additional time or effort is possible.

Ways to Generate Residual Income
- Royalties from a book or song you write.
- Pay from being an actor in a show or movie that re-runs.
- Buy oil and gas royalties, or strike oil.
- Purchase real estate and rent-it-out.
- Earnings from internet advertisements on websites.
- Dividend and interest income from owning securities, such as stocks and bonds,
- Succeed with network marketing.

Time for Dollars
If
you are an employee, or a small business owner, or an independent
contractor, then according to the Cashflow Quadrant, by Robert Kiyosaki,
you are trading TIME FOR DOLLARS. This means, it is very difficult to
get any leverage because there are
limited hours in a day... In order to truly be financially free (where
your money is making money on your money's money) you must own a system, or
to be an investor... If you are trading TIME FOR DOLLARS, then you are
stuck like I was... Working 16 hour days will never give you the
leverage you need to be financially free...

Super Saturday Re-Cap
Wow! Yesterday was our first time to attend a World Ventures Training, and let me tell you... It was extra-ordinary. The content was amazing. Scott Ross' training was highly informative... The dude is a powerhouse!!! It's one of those things you can't really explain, unless you were there with us. The energy in the room was electric...
We learned so much in those 4 hours yesterday, during this Saturday training, but the one thing that stuck out the most was the testimonies of the people whose lives had been changed. People who achieved certain goals in the organization (including me, I got my Wheels & Wings!!!) stood up and spoke briefly. I was particularly touched by the story of the single mom of four who is now able to spend time with her children because of World Ventures... The list of testimonies is long.
This organization is more than about making money. It's also about building relationships and helping others. There is equal opportunity for everyone to make it to the top... And we are all very supportive of one another. I was struck by the way the leader of the training, Scott Ross, proclaimed His faith in God during his highly intellectual speech... It was also cool that many of the people were crying and thanking God for the blessings they are receiving through World Ventures.
The tears of others just validated my own tears. I cry almost every day because of the blessings that are coming to me through World Ventures... It is too much to list.
So my point is this: Get plugged into training. It is a fact that those who attend trainings do 3 times better than those who do not. Anyone who has reach IMD (International Marketing Director) in the organization--that is, making 7 figures--is involved in training. You must lead your team, and your team needs training in order to duplicate your efforts and their efforts. Without training, you will not succeed. Attend all the training sessions, whatever it takes. (You will thank me for urging you to do so later...)
Our next training is just 2 weeks away in Kansas City, Millionaire Boot Camp. From what I understand, this Saturday session I attended yesterday pales by comparison. There are lots of really neat things happening, watch the video to find out more... This is not an optional training. World Ventures is centered on training. You must attend if you wish to get anywhere in the company. Without it, you're a Lone Ranger, and that's not the way network marketing works. You must be plugged in... Trust me...
So register for Boot Camp ASAP. I've got my ticket, and I can't wait to see you there!

Let's build a dynasty!
