David Wood Talks Empower Network Ethics

This post was written on November 28,2011

When a business or program EXPLODES onto the scene like the Empower Network has, there are bound to be people who have negative things to say about it. Whether it is because they don't understand the system, believe it works, are using it as a "ploy" to get some attention, or just don't like the way the founders present themselves, these folks have decided to spend their time speaking negatively about the Empower Network.

So as a member of the Empower Network, I've decided to simply share with you some facts. As of this morning (November 28, 2011), the Empower Network had 9,329 members that had received $1,159,523.20 in commissions paid in just 4 weeks. There are companies that don't do that much in total sales in a couple of years, let alone pay out that much in commissions; and the Empower Network did it in 4 weeks. The beauty of it all, however, is that those commissions were paid to people from various different MLM and network marketing companies; some brand new to the industry, some with experience; and some that had never made a penny in this industry before.

Is the Empower Network perfect? No, but what program is (especially a new one)? The Empower Network is, however, a program founded on the belief of "empowering and lifting people up" in an ethical manner. Watch THIS VIDEO to to hear Empower Network Co-Founder David Wood discuss why he created the Empower Network, as well as everything from being ethical and doing things the right way; having the right attitude; a few issues he's dealt with; and the current "upgrade promo" and new product coming soon.

Don't Be Afraid to Dance!

As a member of the Empower Network's "Inner Circle" I have access to some great audio training calls done by David Wood and David Sharpe leading up to the launch of the Empower Network.  There is so much information contained in each recording that every time I've listened to them I've been able to pull some more information out that is beneficial to my team and me.  To listen to David Wood and David Sharpe speak about their experiences can't help but motivate you, even if you are already doing well, to do even better.  The more you listen to them, the more you understand how much they truly want to help everyone be successful and why they created the Empower Network!  So what does that have to do with dancing?

Before I tell you, go to http://www.antoniomooreempowernet.com and join the Empower Network and answer the question of how 100% commissions can help you!

Now to continue, I was listening to a segment today (again) where David Sharpe discusses how over 99% of people are so self-absorbed that they can't see past themselves; but once they realize that "it's not all about them" their lives will change.  He proceeds to tell a story about how he used to go to this "dance club" and would put on a fresh outfit so that he could be cool, looking good and "comfortable" in his own skin.  However, he would stand around and watch people dance and even though he thought it "looked fun," he wouldn't go out on the dance floor.   Why? Fear.  He didn't want to be laughed at.  He was so self-absorbed that he thought everyone would be paying attention to him and laugh and reject him, so he stood on the sidelines.  At some point he figured out that a lot of other people were just as self-absorbed as him and were thinking the same thing!  He then had an "epiphany" and realized that it wasn't about him, which resulted in him being able to let loose, have fun, dance, and have a good time!  He was able to overcome the fear of rejection and no longer worried about what other people would think.

That fear of rejection is what plagues many people in the network marketing industry today.  David Sharpe finally took a "leap of faith" and went out on the dance floor.  He then took this same principle and applied it to all aspects of his life, including his business.  Having faith gave him confidence and relieved the anxiety he had of doing business presentations.  He took the risk and started doing webinars and conference calls and guess what?  People actually showed up and kept showing up!  He actually "bombed" his first few presentations, but was able to develop his skill of overcoming fear and started applying other information into his presentations to make them successful.

The moral of this story is "Don’t Be Afraid to Dance!"  Take the leap of faith and get out on the dance floor.  Nobody cares and if you do your thing, they may even just respect you for taking the risk.  Whatever your "dance floor" is, just go for it.  If you bomb or fail the first time, just keep at it and don't quit.  Success in your business takes staying in the game, having a vision, having a dream, and sticking to it!

Attitude, after all, is everything!

Before moving forward, I have to ask this question: Are you being paid 100% commissions in your business? If you are, you should know how valuable that is.  If you are not, then you deserve to know. Either way, if you have not joined the Empower Network you NEED to do so before you do anything else today. Go to http://www.antoniomooreempowernet.com and make the decision to get serious about your business and get "empowered!"

Now that you've taken action to show that you are serious about your business, I want to share something with you that I came across a few days ago. Read the story, but "listen" to the message.  I'd love to hear your thoughts!  Continued blessings!

Positive Thinking

Jerry is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!" He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant.

The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.

Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?" Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.

I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.

"Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested. "Yes, it is," Jerry said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live life."

I reflected on what Jerry said. Soon thereafter, I left the restaurant industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.

Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gun point by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma center. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body.

I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Wanna see my scars?" I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. “The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Jerry replied. "Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live."

"Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked. Jerry continued, "...the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man.'

I knew I needed to take action." " What did you do?" I asked. "Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me," said Jerry. "She asked if I was allergic to anything. 'Yes,' I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, 'Bullets!' Over their laughter, I told them, 'I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.'"

Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything.

What Are We Missing?

Many people miss out on great opportunities because they simply won't take the time to stop and pay attention.  Many network marketers are so busy working hard at not succeeding that that they don't even see the irony of their situations.  Often times they are so wrapped up in promoting their business opportunity that common sense and logic go out of the window.  Does it not make sense to at least take a look at a business paying 100% commissions when you are only currently receiving 1%, 5%, 10%, 40% or something else that is not 100%?  Of course it does, and you owe it to yourself to at least take a look at the Empower Network by visiting http://www.antoniomooreempowernet.com.  The Empower Network is not a network marketing company and, in fact, the training you receive will teach you how to leverage the exposure and money you make as part of the Empower Network into building your primary network marketing business!  If you have visited the site and it's not for you, that's one thing; but don't miss out simply because you didn't stop and take a look! http://www.antoniomooreempowernet.com.

The following is a true story from the Washington Post (http://wpo.st/-vP).  I would love to hear your thoughts and comments! Video will be posted at http://www.ibosocial.com/asmoore/videos.aspx.

What Are We Missing?

Washington DC, Metro Station, on a cold January morning in 2007.

The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approximately 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.

After 3 minutes a middle aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to meet his schedule.

4 minutes later:
The violinist received his first dollar. A woman threw the money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk.

6 minutes:
A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.

10 minutes:
A 3-year old boy stopped but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly.

45 minutes:
The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money, but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.

1 hour:
He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.

No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars.

Two days before, Joshua Bell sold out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100 each.

Joshua Bell playing incognito in the Metro Station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people's priorities.

The questions raised: In a common place environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?

One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made...

How many other things are we missing?

It Makes Business Sense

I connect with a number of people in the network marketing industry on a daily basis.  Some are struggling network marketers or business people I am trying to help or assist in some way; some are "successful" and we often share stories or bounce ideas off of one another; and others are just cool people I know that I have (or am building) relationships with.  It's great to be able to connect with people from all over the world, that come from all walks of life, and are all a part of this network marketing industry.

In my conversations I have found that many people have never run any kind of business on their own, let alone a successful one, before getting into network marketing; and maybe that explains the lack of "business savvy" that many network marketers have, which definitely contributes to the industry's high "failure" rate.  That is not to suggest that a person cannot be successful with network marketing as their first business venture; nor does it mean that someone that was successful in business elsewhere will automatically be successful in network marketing.  It simply means that maybe we shouldn't be surprised by some of the decisions that are made (or not made) by our fellow network marketers.

There are so many network marketing companies to chose from and quite often we see people who are "struggling" bounce around from business to business hoping the next opportunity will be "the one" that is going to make them rich!  Obviously there are a number of reasons why someone leaves one opportunity for another, but in network marketing it is more often than not related to money.  In fact, money is the reason that many people quit the entire network marketing industry.  People don't make enough money and they don't make it fast enough, so they quit.  The reality is, however, that most network marketing company compensation plans are not designed for you to make a lot of money quickly and be able to sustain it over a long period of time.  You may be with a very good company, but you know that it is going to take you 3, 6, 12, 24, 36 or even more months to really start seeing significant income.  So what do you do in the meantime?  For many, that means staying broke, getting frustrated, and being bitter while they wait for the time to come when their commission checks reach a level of significance.  But not for members of the Empower Network!

The Empower Network pays 100% commissions directly into its members' bank accounts.  What does that mean? It means you keep all the money!  It means that you break-even with the very first person you share the information with who decides to join!  It means that you don't have to wait for commission checks because they are deposited instantly into your bank account!  It means that you now have an immediate flow of cash to pull from to put back into marketing and advertising your primary business, allowing you to build it faster!  It means that you are finally in control of your success!

That's what 100% commissions means and if you don't have it, you need to get it!  It makes business sense!  Find out why approximately $400,000 in commissions has been paid out to members in just 6 days.  Don't you work hard on your business and deserve some of that?  Go to http://www.antoniomooreempowernet.com and make the decision to "get empowered" today!

I look forward to welcoming you to the Empower Network!

Five Questions...Or Is It?

It has been a very busy week, so I'm going to keep this short and sweet for you!

How would you benefit.....

  -if your current biz opportunity paid 100% commissions directly deposited into your bank account?

  -if you had profits to put into your marketing and advertising efforts for your primary biz opportunity?

  -if you had traffic from a viral blogging platform, SEO optimized, to give you maximum exposure?

  -if you had direct access to training from some of the top network marketers in the industry today?

 and

  -if your current biz opportunity paid 100% commissions directly deposited into your bank account?

Most people in the network marketing industry would benefit greatly if they had at least one or two of these four things (I hope you noticed the first and the last are the same :0).  The reality is that most don't have any, let alone all four.  As of October 31, 2011, however, the reality is NOW that you can if you want to.  There are no more excuses, the opportunity is here.  YOU simply just have to choose whether you want to benefit or not.  Just visit http://www.antoniomooreempowernet.com and make the decision.  The choice is yours.

I look forward to welcoming you to the Empower Network!

One24 Revisited - Enhanced Compensation, $25,000 Giveaway, and Exotic Cruise Vacation

Just over a year ago a company called One24 jumped into a very competitive network marketing industry with a singular purpose: To provide an opportunity for ANYONE that joins to be able to retire in 24 months.  Although it has not been 24 months yet, there are a number of One24 PCs (members) who have already retired from their other careers and there are many more that are on their way; therefore, One24 definitely seems to be on track with fulfilling its purpose.

I am not going to go into details of One24 because I have done that in previous blog posts which you may read at http://www.ibosocial.com/asmoore/blog.aspx or http://www.ibourl.com/eya.  However, I did want to take a moment to highlight some of the "enhancements" that One24 has been making over the last few months so that anyone looking at this great opportunity will have the most current information available (the company is in the process of updating the videos on the website to include these changes):

1.  Compensation Plan - One24 has enhanced its already revolutionary linear compensation plan, referred to as the IRP (Incentivized Referral Plan), to put more money in the pockets of its PCs. Now, in order to qualify for commissions you must be an "active" PC, meaning you must have brought in at least one person who has brought in one person.  This lines up perfectly with One24's core principle of "people helping people" and allows the company to reward those that do.  The current compensation plan can be found at http://www.ibosocial.com/asmoore/videos.aspx?videoid=7127 with the only change being that the initial product order when joining is $70 (monthly autoship is still $60).  There are still no kit, enrollment, start-up, website, advertising, maintenance, or any other additional fees associated with One24; just the monthly autoship of one of its great products (no inventory either).  You may view the original One24 video presentation at http://www.ibourl.com/eyc, but please note the changes mentioned above.

2.  $25,000 Sweepstakes - In December 2011, One24 will have the first of what will be monthly drawings for $25,000.  There will be other cash and prizes given out as well, but the grand prize is $25,000.  This is a FREE chance at winning cash and/or prizes just by watching the One24 video presentation and getting on the waiting list.  It doesn't cost anything and there is no obligation to join One24.  Right now, One24 PCs are able to put as many people as they want on their waiting lists and all of those folks will be entered into the drawing.  Starting November 1st, however, the waiting lists will be capped so get your chance at FREE MONEY now by visiting http://www.ibourl.com/eyc, watch the videos and join the waiting list.

3.  Exotic Cruise Vacation Contest - This month One24 started an Exotic Cruise Contest for its PCs.  The contest runs until February 2012 at which time One24 will give two tickets to the PCs that have brought the most people into the company between October 2011 and February 2012.  The tickets will be for an all-expenses paid 5 or 7-day cruise to the Caribbean in March.  There will be a number of winners (possibly hundreds) and each winner will receive two tickets so that they can bring a guest.  This contest is for One24 PCs only, so visit http://www.ibourl.com/eyc and join One24 today!

Additionally, the GOLD RUSH (you will see it in the videos) is NOW ON, so here is your opportunity to join One24 immediately without having to go on the waiting list.  Due to the linear compensation structure there is no better time than right now to join One24.  Furthermore, there are a couple of other products coming out in the next few months that are going to further enhance this already fantastic program (contact me for specifics after watching the videos) and the One24 "March to a Million" members tour is gearing up as well.

One24 is a great program for the person looking to build wealth and solidify their financial future.  It is for someone that understands the importance of commitment to achieve long-term success.  It is for those that like to help others work to achieve a common goal, that goal being the opportunity to retire in 24 months if one chooses.  It is NOT a get-rich-quick scheme or a program where you should expect to make thousands your first month.  If that is your goal or expectation, then One24 is NOT for you.  However, if you are looking to join a business with a team of great people focused on helping each other become healthier and wealthier long-term then visit http://www.ibourl.com/eyc and take a look.  You don't even need to leave your current business to get involved and be successful in One24 if you don't want to!

Best case scenario, you like what you see and you get on the "Healthy Road to Retirement!"  Worst case scenario, you aren't interested but you put your name on the waiting list for a chance to win $25,000 (and other cash/prizes) in the monthly sweepstakes drawing.  Either way it sounds like a WIN for you, but you can't win if you don't play!  Visit http://www.ibourl.com/eyc and make a choice!

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions!

NETWORKING in Network Marketing

Network marketing is ultimately about "networking" and although a distinction can be made between business and social networking, the reality is that the explosion of social media has intertwined the two to the point where it is very difficult to separate them, especially online.  To become part of the roughly 3%-5% of successful network marketers, you must understand networking.

So what is "networking?"  In the context of network marketing, it is simply connecting with people and building relationships for a purpose.  Although the reasons may vary, the core component of networking is people and building relationships with them.  Therefore, in order to be successful in network marketing you must focus on people.  Whether it's online, on the phone, or in person, you must not be afraid to build relationships and interact with others.  In fact, that's where the majority of your time should be spent.

Personally, I like to help others and that is my primary purpose for networking online and offline.  When building relationships, I focus on the value that I can bring to the table without worrying about whether I will ultimately get something back in return.  I learned a long time ago that the more value I bring to my relationships, the stronger and longer-lasting they will be.  That's why I am constantly investing in myself and urging others to do the same.  The more knowledge you have, the better equipped you are to provide solutions to people because you are better able to understand what they want and how to help them.

So what is your purpose and approach to networking?  Are you spending your time building relationships with people and investing in yourself so that you are bringing value to the conversations?  These are questions that you should definitely take some time to think about if you are serious about your long-term business success.

Have a blessed and productive day!

Make Money When Prospects Say "NO" To Your Business Opportunity!

"Multiple streams of income" is a topic that is discussed quite often in the network marketing industry.  The unfortunate reality, however, is that many network marketers do not really have significant multiple income streams.  Just for clarification, I'm not referring to the number of ways you can be paid based on your company's compensation structure.  I'm talking about additional income from sources external to your primary business.

We often hear the statistic that 9 out of 10 network marketers fail or don't make significant income in this industry (or some similar statistic); and one of the primary reasons for this "failure" is that people quit before they make any money.  Many people have false expectations as to how long it is going to take for them to build their business and start making significant income.  Even if you are a great marketer with a great marketing system (which most are not) it is still going to take some time to build a successful long-term operation.  Therefore, it is imperative to learn how to generate multiple streams of income without having to take the time necessary to build multiple businesses.  Welcome to affiliate marketing!

Affiliate marketing allows you to be compensated for selling another company's products or services.  There are many companies, including Google and Amazon, that offer these programs and they can be very lucrative if utilized appropriately.  Affiliate marketing sales allow you to earn money right away and the goal of many network marketers is to use those funds for advertising; however many also end up making much more than advertising funds!  Most people (again, quoted statistics are usually in the 90-95% range) will say "NO" to your business opportunity, so why not give them an option to purchase other products or services that may be able to benefit them in whatever business they are in; and get paid for it!  Your time is very valuable and how you manage your time is vital to your business success; therefore, your goal should be to get involved with affiliate programs that work seamlessly with your current marketing strategies (assuming they are good).  If your marketing efforts are generating a lot of targeted traffic to your website and the only choice for the network marketers who land on it is whether to join your business or not, then you are missing the boat!  Most network marketers are not seeing the success they want, so they are constantly looking for products and services to help them.  Why not offer them the opportunity to purchase proven products, services, tools and resources from your website that they are probably already looking for anyway (more so than your business opportunity)?  Although getting paid on their purchase is great, that's not even the most significant part of the transaction.  More importantly, it allows you to help out anyone regardless of what company they are with; and most importantly, it provides you with the perfect opportunity to start building a relationship with that person and relationships will always be a very important element to long-term business success.

There are many affiliate marketing programs out there and they are not all created equal, so be sure to do your due diligence before getting involved in one.  Being a successful affiliate marketer still requires you to be able to market, which is why having the right marketing system is necessary.  I'm not going to do a breakdown of marketing systems, but the best network marketing systems are those that teach you how to brand yourself and attract prospects which effectively results in targeted leads seeking you out to do business and work with you.  If your current marketing system is not focused on these two things then you are probably on your way to being part of the 9 out of 10 mentioned previously.  If you are a serious network marketer with a long-term goal of success, then you must take advantage of affiliate marketing.  Click here, www.antoniomoorepronet.com, for a FREE presentation on taking your business to the next level with an advanced system for achieving long-term success; and you don't even have to have your own website to utilize it!

If you would like to discuss affiliate marketing in detail or effective marketing in general, please do not hesitate to contact me.  You may also contact me for FREE resources to help you build your business.

For those that don't know, IBOtoolbox is a business platform that provides its members with an opportunity to network with other professionals while also proving them with a FREE suite of tools to help members market and promote their respective businesses.  Paul Williams is the creator of this dynamic web application  and he is constantly looking at ways to improve on an already great platform.  In fact, he makes himself available at least two times a week to do training and Q&A Webinars for the members.  At the time of this writing, IBO is approaching 100,000 daily visitors.  Obviously it's no Facebook (yet) in terms of traffic numbers, but this is targeted traffic which is very important to anyone trying to build or grow a business.  If you are a business owner, but not a member of IBO you should definitely check it out (http://www.ibourl.com/eyr).

Now back to my question for members.  We know that the IBO platform offers a lot and its potential is huge; but how are you utilizing it?  Do you spend all of your time promoting your business trying to get others to join? Do you actually network and connect with other members and share tips, ideas, and suggestions freely without expecting them to join your business or give you something else in return?  Do you spend any time actually promoting IBO and the platform in general?

This post will also be located at http://www.ibourl.com/eyr, so please feel free to share your thoughts and comments about IBO there as  well!

Marketing FOCUS

As business owners we must be very disciplined as we go about our days because there are many distractions that can prevent us from achieving our short and long-term goals.  One of those potential distractions is tough for many network marketers to deal with because it is also the very thing that determines their success....marketing.  How you market is what determines your long-term success in business and there is a clear difference in how successful network marketers market when compared to those that are unsuccessful (which unfortunately is the majority).

There are many different ways to market your business, but the key is to be focused and stay consistent.  Successful marketing starts with your mindset.  You have to be positive and understand that it may take some time to see results.  When first starting out it is also best to start with a marketing strategy that compliments your strengths.  Additionally, another best practice is to "master" a particular type of marketing strategy before moving on to others.  "Mastering" a strategy doesn't mean the same thing for everyone, so having clear goals outlined ahead of time is also very important.  The point is that being "all over the place" with your online marketing, especially when first starting out, is too much of an "information overload" for most people to handle.  Some can't handle it after years of experience.  The key here is to go at your own pace and really focus on learning and understanding what you are doing in order to achieve results before trying to figure out something else.

There is an art and a science to effective marketing and understanding that will pay dividends in the long run.  Most success does not come overnight, so it's imperative that you stay focused and continue to educate yourself and invest in your success.  I work with serious network marketers looking for the tools, resources, and guidance to build their businesses; as well as "newbies" just getting started in the online, network marketing, and home-based business industry.  If you'd like to discuss effective marketing in detail in order to get your business on the right track and/or if you would like some FREE resources to help you build your business, just contact me.

What's your Posture?

In network marketing "posture" refers to the belief and confidence you have in yourself.  It starts with your mindset and is reflected in your attitude.  Whether you are speaking with someone on the telephone, chatting with them online, or meeting with them face-to-face, having the right "posture" is a must if you are going to be successful.

So how do you develop your "posture?"  To me, it's simple.  

1. Choose to have a Positive Mindset.  When things are going well for you, it's easy; but how do you respond when not so great things happen?  You still have the choice, it's just harder to make.  Develop the habit of being positive and do not let negativity of "naysayers" deter you.

2. Be Prepared.  Many people get easily distracted and are therefore not ready when they need to be on point.  When you aren't prepared, you lack confidence and it shows.  Develop the discipline to stay focused and your preparation will emanate confidence.

3.  Education.  The more you know about the network marketing industry and how it works, the better equipped you will be to handle the constant social and technological changes that affect it.  You must invest in your network marketing education constantly if you want to continue, or begin, to succeed.

Understanding and implementing these simple concepts will make your conversations a lot easier.  This business is about networking and building relationships with people; and in order to build those relationships you need to have the right "posture."

One24 - The Sweepstakes!

When you think it's as good as it gets, One24 just keeps getting better!  Last night One24 founder Mark Seyforth announced yet another enhancement to the already REVOLUTIONARY One24 program!  Over the last few months, One24 has introduced a number of enhancements to an already unique, brilliant, and amazing company concept and compensation structure; but last night, it was taken to ANOTHER LEVEL!

One24 has just announced a "Sweepstakes" that is giving anyone that just takes the time to look at One24, the opportunity to win $25,000!  That's it!  No obligation to join, no cost, not anything but taking the time to look at an opportunity that could change your life!  All you have to do is visit the website, www.wealth-4-life.com, watch the videos and get on the waiting list to enter the sweepstakes.  How easy is that?

The $25,000 drawing will be held every month starting December 2011 and the winner may be announced on a national television program or via the Internet (more details forthcoming).  Regardless, here is a FREE chance for you to win $25,000.  All current One24 PCs (members) are automatically eligible for the drawing and anyone on the waiting lists will also be eligible.  However, due to the EXPLOSION of One24 and the fact that this "Sweepstakes" will no doubt magnify that explosion exponentially, the company will be implementing a maximum cap on the number of people One24 PCs will be allowed to have on their waiting lists!  Therefore, you must act NOW if you want to secure your spot and your chance to win $25,000 in the monthly drawings.

Maybe now you are starting realize just how amazing One24 is!  Based on the principle of "people helping people" it has already revolutionized the network marketing industry with the first ever linear IRP ("Incentivized Referral Plan") compensation plan that allows you to get paid on everyone that joins the company after you (whether you personally bring them in or not) to the point that other companies are already trying to copy it in some way shape or form!  Being a One24 PC allows you the opportunity to build towards making up to $200,000/month ($100K in green income and $100K in Gold, see previous posts) within the next 2 years as long as you stay in it; and now the "Sweepstakes" is giving One24 PCs a monthly opportunity to make an additional $25K and offering non One24 PCs the same opportunity as long as they take the time to watch the One24 videos.  Again, all you have to do is visit www.wealth-4-life.com, watch the videos and get on the waiting list to enter!

Don't be like those naysayers who didn't take advantage of getting involved with some of today's most valuable companies early on; such as the guy who had an opportunity to buy Google for 1M, but didn't only to see Google explode and today have a market value near $200B; or the Texas business man who could have bought Microsoft for $60M but only wanted to pay $15M, and subsequently watched Microsoft's market value peak around $600B (1999) and today is still valued over $200B; or how about a couple of
of computer companies that said "NO" to funding Apple, which now has a market value over $350 Billion!  I wont even discuss the number of people who missed out on opportunities to have stock or be a part of companies like Exxon, Wal-Mart, IBM, Coca-Cola, etc.!  Here is YOUR OPPORTUNITY to get involved with a great company at the ground level before it goes viral and before it goes international (very soon)!  Visit the website (www.wealth-4-life.com), watch the videos and pay attention to the opportunity presented and get on the waiting list!  At the very least you will have a chance to win $25K in our monthly sweepstakes.  At the most, you will recognize a great opportunity to get on the road to retirement and secure a future with financial freedom, security, and prosperity!
