THE Catalyst

Most teams don't naturally get better on their own. Left alone, they don't grow, they don't improve and they may never reach championship caliber. Instead they tend  to wind down. the road to the next level is always uphill , and if the team isn't intentionally fighting uphill , then it inevitably slides down. the team loses focus, gets out of rhythm , decreases in energy, breaks down in unity, and loses momentum. It's only a matter of time  before it plateaus and ultimately declines into mediocrity. When a team does reach its potential it always possesses a catalyst. An inspiration, a motivation a factor that brings the energy to an entirely new level.

In AdvoCare and in life this added energy is the only thing that sets apart the great from the world class. Too many people are waiting on someone or something to go do what they want to do. They hesitate in chasing a goal and stop three feet from the prize. Our question for you is why. We believe that people undervalue themselves and believe that people do not want to hear the message we have to offer. We offer a message of hope, of security and of a new and better life. The freedom we offer is in itself revolutionary and needs to be spread.

Caitlyn and myself are on a road that has brought us to a fork. turning one direction will be the normal thing to do. go get a job a secure the salary, worry about you first and be sure we can pay our bills, clip coupons and live on a tight budget to pay off debt. Basically go and work for anothers dream as so many are deciding to do.

The converse is a road of servitude. The road does not let you worry about yourself first lest you be left behind and forced to turn back. This road is concerned first and foremost with the progress of others. Along this road is a journey that allows you to work for your own dreams and assist others in doing the same.

Caitlyn and I have taken the road of servitude. We will build a team of champions and work with them, we will build them, we will celebrate them and their victories, their dreams. We want you to come with us on this road. We want to see you hit the dreams that you have set out before you. We want you to be a part of this Championship team.

If you are interested in building a future and investing in freedom, in chasing your dreams and doing it in a revolutionary way where you will be compensated extremely well for your hard work we are ready to help you. Please contact us at 763.226.4039 or email advostrong@gmail.com.

We are dedicated to your success and would love to discuss anything further. Be well and God Bless,

Caitlyn and Andrew Johnson

Oil Change

Champions,

2 Quick Questions:

1) Is your oil changed?  Meaning, is your car tuned up and maintained?

2) Have you completed your Live Vision? CLICK HERE FOR CUSTOMIZABLE LIFE VISION

If the answer to #1 is YES and the answer to #2 is NO, then that means... well... I'll let you answer that...
(If you've got another life vision/balance system that is working for you, great!)

MOST PEOPLE 'MAJOR IN MINOR THINGS'... think about it...

What if we treated completing and updating our Life Vision with the same sense of urgency we treated completing our taxes as April 15th approached?
 
What if we treated our Life Vision like we used to treat the tests in school that really don't mean much now?
 
What if we took the same 30 minutes is takes to get an oil change and applied it to updating our Life Vision?
 
Our government and teachers MAKE us do things (which is fine), but in life and business success WE must make ourselves do things... SELF-employment...
 
We just came off a 4 day holiday... chances are that our habits have been a bit off in the spiritual, health, business aspects of our life...
 
Do you have a tool that immediately dials you back to your best in the Spiritual, Relationship, Financial, and Physical aspects of life?

The Lifestyle

From Matt warren:

I know that some people are not a fit for the business of AdvoCare... for a variety of reasons... maybe the relationship based business model isn't their style... leading a team truly isn't their thing... they wanna work with margins... they wanna get big stuff passed by councils and build a project funded by investors... they like bein' dressed up most of the day and being in meetings all day and sometimes having business dinners with people they don't even like... and that's fine and great for some people... we need ALL types to make America go...

And there are lots of people like that who's activities are FUELED by our products, which is great!

But for Amber and me - on a business level, we've found what we love to do.  Recently, we had a "pinch me" moment as we again realized that we get paid very well for something that doesn't even feel like a job or business... it's a group of activities and benefits that we consistently embrace because it fits our personality and LIFESTYLE we want to live...

Performance nutrition...
 
Grassroots business at it's most basic level: me or you sittin' down with someone you know, sharin' something that can better their life starting TODAY...
 
Residual (ongoing) income...
 
Teamming up with like-minded people...
 
Living lean and fit as a part of the job description...

No cubicle... no negative co-workers...
 
"The Advocare Independence Bowl" on ESPN...
 
Living a "challenged life", and positively challenging the majority around us, one at a time...
 
Gathering and growing 2X per year as a company, team, and individuals at National Success School...

Skiing on a Wednesday...

Celebrating in our teammates biz success, and hurting with them during disappointment...
 
Leadership and personal development...
 
No boss...
 
No limits...
 
"You DO you GET" performance based compensation plan...

Enjoying a day where you don't even leave your house...

I don't know if that list resonates with you.  I'm sure that if you love the Advocare lifestyle that you've probably got your own list...

But let me say this: if you want this business and the LIFESTYLE that comes with it, DON'T LET ANYONE STEAL YOUR DREAM...

Go get it...

If you want a team, BUILD ONE...

Refuse to be denied...

We've all got a limited productive window of time to really design a life... don't squander it...

Design a life where you spend your days doing what you want with whom you want... you can do that here...

Yes you'll have to work for it... but that makes the victory even sweeter!

The products and compensation plan are the same for all of us - the only variable is you.

Live It.

The 6 Ragus P's

The 6 P's are Charlie Ragus' thoughts. Soak 'em up and live them. These principles are the key to unlocking your business now and into 2011.

Purpose-- You've gotta know where you are going in order to get there. If Christopher Columbus set sail from Europe without a rudder... where would we be today? He knew he was to sail and set a course due west until he found the New World that he knew was there. Know your Destination.


Passion-- If you have a need in your life and AdvoCare is the solution for that need then you can develop a passion. You must be passionate about your purpose and the way that your circumstances will change as you near your goal.



Priority-- Develop an exchange system that will force you to say no to things now in order to say yes to a lot more later in life. You cannot steer a NEW course without turning the wheel. Bob Donnelly gave up golf for two years so he can play every morning now...


Persistence-- Persist without exception. That is not a normal though in our world today. usually when the times get difficult, people quit. AdvoCare is a mountain to climb and the only way we can do it is together. Persistence will produce rewards that most of us cannot even comprehend. Go get it and never let anyone tell you what you can or cannot do.



People-- AdvoCare is a people Business. It is not a mass e-mail business, not a facebook business and not a text message business. Those who are successful here will be willing to get in front of others and have quality conversations sharing the massage of AdvoCare. Go out to the people.


Plan-- People love a plan. Show the compensation plan. Show your personal 90-day plan. Have a plan. Work the plan. Trust the plan. Share the Plan. Nothing great has ever been accomplished on a whim. there is always a method to the madness. 

Check out THE PLAN... 

3-Way Phone calls

THE 3WAY PHONE CALL

WHY USE THE 3WAY CALL AND HOW TO DO A 3WAY CALL PROPERLY The 3Way Phone Call is a fundamental part of your building your AdvoCare business.  It may not feel natural to do the 3way call or appt, but since the highest paid distributors say to do it, we always had the mindset that we wanted to duplicate those who were successful, and the success statistics for those who implement 3rd party credibility are staggering. REASONS FOR 3WAY CALL 1.  Bringing your prospect to the Vine so they hear another story other than yours 2.  This is a copy cat business, so if you bring them to another person/story, they will bring their people to you 3.  The more stories a new person hears, the more layers of conviction they will gain, and the faster they will get started 4.  They trust you, but usually you are very familiar to them, and they need another perspective 5.  You may be new to Advocare, and don't know enough to answer all their questions, BUT even if you are a veteran you STILL need to run your business by bringing your prospect to a team member (whether it's your mentor or not) because again, they will duplicate you, and EVERYONE needs more than just one verbal story. 6.  Your mentor has more stories, more experience, and more PASSION for what AdvoCare can do in a person's life, plus they know how to ask the right questions to properly place the new person on the right products or help them have a vision for how AdvoCare can help them achieve any financial goals they may have.  HOW TO DO THE 3WAY CALL 1.  If you call the prospect WITH your 3rd party person say, "Hi Jim, this is Lisa, Hey listen, I have my friend Scott on the phone, because he's had incredible results using the products (has earned incredible income with the opportunity), and we're going to customize you, so you get the best results, this is a team effort".  This works whether your purpose for the 3way call is to share the products or to share the products and opportunity.  During all 3way calls, the opportunity will be mentioned. 2.  If you are on the phone with your prospect and you want to 3way in your 3rd party person say, "I'm so excited you're getting started on the products (or I'm so excited you want to learn more about the business), my friend Scott has so much experience using the products (has earned incredible income with the opportunity). Hold on while I get him on the phone with us because this is a team effort".  People truly appreciate being taken care of which is what the new person will feel as you use this system. KEY:  If you ask them if they want to talk to a person they don't know, they will NOT WANT TO, but remember that they are new and just like in parenting (we know what's best for our children even if they may not), WE know what's best for the brand new person so must overcome our fear, and act on that truth.  We want them to GET results and if they self prescribe; they may give up too soon or blame the products.  People may think they don't need the cleanse, may say they are not a "shake person" etc... and the more experienced person can help the NEW person see value where none may be perceived.  3.  KEEP IN MIND THAT YOUR PROSPECT has ALREADY SPOKEN WITH YOU so now it's time for the 3rd party person to talk while you get to listen.  THIS IS KEY: RESIST THE TEMPTATION TO TALK ALONGSIDE THE 3rd party person for several reasons.  A.  Your goal is to allow your mentor or 3rd party person to share their story and ask questions that will guide the new person towards results B.  You don't want your prospect to feel like TWO people are talking AT them C.  It will show the new person how to share AdvoCare with others, by connecting them to the team or vine D.  You get to listen in and learn while getting on the job training   WHAT CAN YOU DO DURING THE 3WAY CALL:  THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT 1.  Have a notepad or piece of paper handy to take notes BUT ALSO TO WRITE DOWN the questions OR comments you MAY BE TEMPTED TO INTERJECT.  This will keep you from giving in to the temptation to talk alongside the person you've introduced your prospect too.  2.  THIS ONE IS HARD FOR SOME PEOPLE.  You may have a hard time remaining quiet, but if you follow these guidelines, you will see results. SLOW DOWN TO SPEED UP Remember that each 3way call may be a bit different due to each person being different.  Advocare is about relationships so we must allow the 3rd party person to ask a few upfront questions to get to know the person's needs so they can customize a program that's right for them.  Please keep in mind that if you follow this method, you will have success, and if you try to do Advocare on your own, your prospects will share Advocare (usually incorrectly) on their own, and the business more than likely won't flourish!

Tunnel Vision

FROM MR. WARREN:

People wanna know the 'secrets' to achieving freedom in this biz... often times their answers come to them in an email like this... it's up to them whether to discard or to embrace it...

Here is a major key difference between barely getting by and massive breakthrough...

Truth: To build Ruby (6K+ solid monthly income) here, a person must turn on 'the switch' for a solid 1-2 year period to get the necessary team foundation; it's an intensity and a tunnel vision that would resemble any of the following:

- A politician running for office

- Opening a Subway franchise and giving it your dominant attention for 1-2 years

- Coach Tressel at OSU during the season

- A student in Law School for 3 years

- A new doctor who's on call, or who's opening a practice

Catch this: in any of the above cases, the person's FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND COLLEAGUES all know what's at stake!  And if they don't, they'll catch the message soon enough...

Imagine...

- Hey Barack, Mrs. Palin, Hillary, wanna go on vacation?
- Hey Coach; we're havin' a birthday dinner Saturday, we'd love you guys to make it!
- Hey Law/Med student, I know you have exams Monday but let's go campin' this weekend
- Hey Doc, you need to chill out, we need to finish this card game before you rush to the hospital - it'll be OK

Point: In each of the above examples, sacrifices are made to achieve greatness.  For a period of time, their PURPOSE gets THE BEST of their energy, and other things simply get put to the side for a period of time.

The Law student has a burning desire and a vision for their life, and nothing or no one is going to get in the way of that vision, EVEN IF IT MEANS BEING ABSENT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AND SAYING "NO" OFTEN...

People might feel slighted or less important along the way (which is their choice).  The best you can do is explain the phase of business and life you're in right now, if they're you're friends, they'll get it...

You see, to get more FAMILY, FRIENDS, VACATIONS, and SPONTANEOUS ADVENTURE, there is a period of time you'll need to give up some (not all) FAMILY, FRIENDS, VACATIONS, and SPONTANEOUS ADVENTURE...

The doctor gives up much family time, Coach Tressel gives up many friend gatherings, Barack isn't cuddling with his daughters watchin' movies right now... but make no mistake they each have a proud family encouraging them and reaping the rewards from the effort of the purpose driven leader...

Are you ready to tunnel your vision, to turn on the switch, to make the 1-2 year push it takes to achieve greatness? 

It Starts Today. Turn the page and write a new chapter.

Production Problem

From Matt Warren but be assured We agree with everything below:

I'm not sure I can communicate this message and still be "the good guy"...

In my defense, several years ago I was personally willing to swallow the tough pill of truth... not from my parents despite their efforts, but from a business friend who was prospering greatly...

"MATT, YOU DON'T HAVE A DEBT PROBLEM, YOU HAVE A PRODUCTION PROBLEM."

It was a punch in the gut - that I needed.  And it was then I decided that as an American with 2 eyes, 2 ears, and a voice that I wasn't gonna be broke anymore.  I was gonna be a bulldog and go get it... I was gonna be a production machine, a value creator, a people builder, a master of my craft... for goodness sake I was gonna even stop caring so much about what other people think :-)

You want your debt to go away?  Make more money.Sick of your job and want freedom?  Build a residual income business - period.

But many Americans want a convenient, easy answer, and there are many companies (with their commercials) trying to PROFIT off of people wanting an easy way out of their problems...

You can:

-consolidate your debt (as if that's gonna make it disappear)
-coupon clip till you're blue in the face
-ring the # of the lawyer who'll wipe out your IRS debts
-ring the # of commercials touting they can help you "pay yourself faster" (huh?)
-go to freescore.com or freecreditreport.com
-meet with your financial advisor to shuffle papers
-shut off your home phone and try to do it all on your cell
-refuse to dine out
-"trade" with others for products and services
-read Suze Orman and Dave Ramsy and carry a special wallet with cash, tuck your dreams in a suitcase and live like a hermit, etc

Hey I'm all for frugality and sacrifice - been there done that...

But ya wanna know what the most solid answers to your particular financial issues are?  Massive production.  Massive value creation.  Aggresive and urgent pursuit of your goal - whether it's Advocare or something else.

Stop shuffling papers.  Get busy - help more people - and make more $.

You see, a lot of people who have achieved finacial freedom think like this, but they won't say it for fear of how they'll be perceived.  I'm at peace with putting this out there...

Once I got OK with the concept of: massive production > helping more people > earning more income > radical life change > work from a place of purpose, not for the check > help more people (notice it's a positive cycle that benefits others, but it starts with you getting where you need to be first)

My answer to people who are tired of being overweight: stop being overweight, be done with that

My answer to people who are tired of being broke: stop being broke, be done with that

My answer to people who are tired of workin' for the man: agressively pursue your Plan B and quickly change your situation

We're Americans in an age where more value (and wealth) is being created than ever before.

If you can earn $7 here, you can earn $70, and $700, and $7,000, and $70,000, and $700,000... just choose to add a zero to your current production.

Do it.

BE THE TEAMMATE YOU WANT TO ATTRACT

"Be the change you want to see in the world", I believe Gandhi said that...

That wisdom, when applied to our business, really hits home...
 
"BE THE TEAMMATE YOU WANT TO ATTRACT"...

I specifically remember several times in those first couple years that people or circumstances frustrated me so much it almost made me want to quit...

But I remember thinking, "This is a test, how do I want my future teammates to respond when they face this situation?  I'm going to CHOOSE TO BE STRONG FOR THEM."

You see, if you quit or lose passion in your message, it means you let the flakes, skeptics, quitters, and complainers define YOUR future - THAT is a painful thought...

We wanted a team who:
- put in CONSISTENT part time effort
- ran the roads and communicated the message FACE TO FACE
- kept their WORD
- had THICK skin
- INVESTED in their business
- MADE Success School happen
- said no to some things now to have MANY things later
- were ALL in
- stayed TOUGH AND COMMITTED through challenging patches

SO WE CHOSE TO BE ALL THE ABOVE FIRST.  BE. DO. HAVE.

Leadership in this company will repel the average person who thrives on instant pleasure... fortunately, the average person needs and loves our products...

Regarding Business Builders, we have to always remember that it only takes a few loyal warriors to get this thing off the ground... once it's off the ground you're rollin' and the next set of leaders is easier to attract...

BE THE TEAMMATE YOU WANT TO ATTRACT.

Understanding How "Lag Time" Affects You

Distributors join AdvoCare mostly because they see it as a vehicle that can lead them from where they are to where they would rather be. Distributors quit AdvoCare because they tend to quickly become disillusioned by their lack of results. 

Where are you today? Do you have business and activity momentum established to the extent that you're being swept up by a wave of positive activity, or are you sitting idle - wondering what's wrong and why your business isn't going the way you thought it would? 

Lack of progress is almost always the result of a lack of sustained, consistent <i>activity</i>. But sometimes, you can be very active for what seems like a long period of time and still not get the kind of results that signify progress. That lack of results can grow on you, and undermine your self-confidence, especially when others seem to be making significant progress. When you see people who are brand new to AdvoCare winning bonuses and making major progress, you can get down on yourself, and when that happens you've created a "self-fulfilling prophecy." Most of your thoughts are becoming about "what you are not..." instead of what you can become and what you can do. 

To help you through those times that everyone eventually experiences, you have to understand what "Lag Time" is all about. 

You see, what you do in the way of activity today may very well not produce any results today. What you do this week or this month may not create results for you this week or this month. Results are not necessarily an indicator of your value and they are not necessarily an indicator of what is to come. 

Suppose a farmer - whose cupboards and storehouse was empty - went into his field in the month of March or April to plant his seed. He needs food for his family and for himself right now, so he does what all farmers do - he plants. Now, suppose this farmer went out into the field a week or two later, got down on his knees and started digging into the soil to see how the roots were doing. You can imagine the result. Not only would he find little or nothing going on, but whatever could be going on down there in the soil is going to be disturbed. 

Lag time is what it takes between the effort and the result, and you can't give up because you don't see any activity going on. What's more, you can't compare your "crops" to the farmer next to you. You simply have to believe in the promise that God gives - "You plant the seed and I will make the tree." 

Time eventually turns effort into result. How much time? It's not given to you to know how much time is finally enough. Just keep sowing and just keep believing. Lag time will work its wonder for you just like it does for everyone who just keeps planting and believing. 

$2100 Perspective

Here's a concept for those of you sharing the AdvoCare business opportunity with others...

$2100 Would be a bargain just to have the ability to start an Advocare business... EVEN IF IT DIDN'T GET YOU ANY PRODUCTS!

Products are a bonus...

Think about it...

Most franchises START at around 40K just to "buy the name" and start the process... (Curves: 30K, GNC: 40K, Smoothie King: 25K)

That franchise fee doesn't include:
- property lease
- signage
- employees
- product inventory

So essentially, the $79 Distributor fee IS the equivalent to the "franchise fee" in the above businesses... the fact that $2100 gets you product is kind of a bonus... it's seed that starts your business...

And no matter WHAT business or franchise you start, there is going to be a tremendous amount of sweat equity put in, especially in the beginning... AND THEN IT STARTS TO ROLL...

Are you willing to put in the effort that makes it "roll"?

That's the question you need to be asking people... not whether they can afford $2100... the $2100 is a no brainer, a bargain drop in the bucket in the grand picture of things...

Not to mention that the product purchased is refundable for up to 1 year...

UNFORTUNATE REALITY: OUR BUY-IN IS SO RELATIVELY LOW THAT MANY PEOPLE QUIT TOO EASILY AND EARLY, AND NEVER REALLY GO ALL OUT TO MAKE IT WORK - THEY DON'T PRESS FORWARD AS IF THEY HAD 100K ON THE LINE.  IF THEY HAD 20K OR 100K INVESTED, THEY'D FIGHT MUCH HARDER...

Be STRONGER than that.  We chose to stay strong because this business was the best shot at FREEDOM that our family had.  And it's likely the best shot the people you're talking to have...


So it's the people who are taking the ABOVE MESSAGE to the market place who are winning big...

Make sure your head is on straight when talking Advisor to people... remind and condition yourself to the above concept until it becomes your own personal conviction...

Some Interesting Observations

Mental Vitamins-

From Ron Reynolds

If you pay attention to human behavior - those who succeed as well as those who don't - you can gather enough insights to change your life for the better. Here are some that I've observed over the years, and each has made more of me than what I otherwise would have been: One of two things will change our not-so-good habits into better habits - either inspiration or desperation; don't wait for the second one - desperation - because the choices it offers to us are mostly all unacceptable. In every society, a majority of the human abilities and attributes that lead to success lay within a minority of the people. Maybe that's why you sometimes have to talk to ten people to get just one who see's merit and attraction to our message. The less that people actually do, the more inclined they are to give long explanations. If you ask a simple, ten-second question and get a ten-minute answer, you might want to question the validity of the explanation. Our thoughts create our attitude, our attitude creates our habits, and our habits then create our circumstances. Therefore, don't curse your circumstances, but turn your attention to the cause of the circumstances - your own thoughts. That's what Thoreau meant when he wrote, "Some people curse the effect but continue to nourish the cause." Poor or ineffective communication is the main cause behind most of the challenges and setbacks in life, so if you want to be more effective, don't just communicate with the best among your people, communicate with all the rest of the people as well. Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future; with that thought in mind, remember that before your perfect distributor became "perfect," he or she was probably quite imperfect, and before you give up on your imperfect distributor, remember that the imperfect person may be on his or her way to sainthood. We must not weaken the strong in our efforts to strengthen the weak; to keep things in perspective, spend 80 percent of your time with the 20 percent of your distributors who are doing 80 percent of the work, and only 20 percent of your time with the 80 percent who are only doing 20 percent of the work. And, while you're trying to keep that straight in your mind, also remember that the 80 percent who only do 20 percent of the work will try to capture 80 percent of your time. We cannot do with our actions what we cannot first see with our imagination, so make certain you have a clear plan, an all-consuming vision, and then "imagine" your way into your better future by blending in passion to go along with your actions. Nothing less will do. What a tragedy it is that most people plan their vacations in great detail, but they give very little if any attention to planning their lives. What you passionately plan for and dream about, ultimately comes about, so in all of your "dreaming," make fortune your necessity.

Honoring Your Word

Words of Wisdom from Matt Warren...

Have you ever been flaked on?  Flaked on someone?  Whether you're feeling convicted or inspired, I encourage you to read on...

Ever not called someone when you said you would?  Had someone no-show to an event after looking at you that day saying "I'll see you tonight"?  (Hey I can take the no-show, stuff happens - but no call and no apology?  that person is destined for lower living in many areas of life)...

Unfortunately, it's all too common - ESPECIALLY with that rationalization of "it's just a little thing, not that big of a deal"...  oh no... it's a big deal to champions and doers...

Wanna disappoint a wealthy person?  Don't keep your word on a little thing, you'll be sure to feel a chill the next time you're around them, and you can be assured you'll drop to the bottom of their list of people to be recommended for opportunity...

HOW SOMEONE DOES ANYTHING IS HOW THEY DO EVERYTHING...

It's tempting to get sucked into being a flake when it seems we're in a culture that simply has a hard time keeping it's word... DON'T DO IT... BE REFRESHINGLY DIFFERENT... LIVE A CHALLENGED LIFE...
 
I wouldn't say I was ever a "flake", but I certainly pulled a few "flip flops" in my 20's that drew harsh criticism from people whom I respected... I needed it... and I decided to change EVEN the little things...

I'm far from perfect... but I DID get to a point in my life where I:
-          did what I said I was going to do...
-          called people whom I said I'd call...
-          moved forward with commitments that weren't comfortable...
-          avoided making commitments I knew I couldn't keep...
-          gave people as much advance notice when I couldn't deliver on my commitments...
-          began apologizing profusely when I couldn't deliver on my commitments... (key!)

I read a book at a time in my life (2002) where I decided to live differently... the book radically changed my perspective on ALWAYS KEEPING MY WORD, EVEN WITH THE LITTLE THINGS...

"THE 4 AGREEMENTS"  by Don Miguel Ruizhas been a best seller for 8 years running...

The first "AGREEMENT" he encourages to make with yourself is:
1.       Be Impeccable With Your Word
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

- If you get on the treadmill and set it for 20 minutes, but you stop at 12 minutes... you didn't honor your word...
- If you tell me you'll ring me tomorrow with more details and tomorrow comes and goes and I don't hear from you... you didn't honor your word...
- If I have to take another call, promise to call you back, and then I don't... I didn't honor my word...

And when we don't honor our word in little things, it trickles into every area of life and ultimately the big things... and the fruit (or lack of) in our life will reflect it...

Things changed in radically positive ways for me when I began to take my word seriously... it's like stepping onto a different playing field in the game of life... you'll like the company you'll be keeping when you choose to step in the arena of "people who keep their word"... (if you're not there already)...

And guess what?  I don't have many folks who flake on me... because I'm not attracting them into my life and I've gotten good at qualifying people before I'll move into business with them... if I don't sense integrity, I'll not progress with appointments, etc... so if you're getting pooped on often, accept responsibility that either 1) the favor is getting returned to you, or 2) you're an eagle who's mingling with turkeys.

Be. Do. Have.

AdvoCare Movie Night

On Tuesday, October 26th, Advocare will be in movie theatres nationwide...

How do you properly promote this to get your prospective teammates in the theatre that night? Read on for one exciting way to promote this special night...



Most people saw Avatar. And for 1-2 weeks after seeing it, they TOLD OTHERS ABOUT IT.

Why did they stop telling people about it after 1-2 weeks?

BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T GETTING PAID TO TALK ABOUT AVATAR!

Check it out.

We're gonna show people a movie that will PAY them to keep telling others about what they saw! Wow!

A movie that pays you continuously and residually.

A movie that doesn't die.

A movie that won't be a "has been" that dies in the archives of Netflix instant streaming.

A movie that doesn't just make you dream, it gives you the vehicle to live your dreams!

THAT is how you promote the Advocare Movie Night.

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR THE EVENT


In the meantime, practice the invitation tip from above. This is the one movie that will pay people to keep talking about it!
