Reasons Why

Posted on by

Last night we had some people over for our own “Guthrie Open”.  I had a guest plugging in and most of our team was there as well.  Once the guest left our coaches asked everyone to share a little bit about why they’ve decided to build this business.  We’ve got amazing team members because they shared their hearts!

What I love is that everyone has a different reason for building this business.  It’s really what makes our team unique.  We have a team that really has seen what this business can offer and they know they will be able to achieve the goals and dreams they have.  Some people have monetary reasons for building this business and yet some people have completely different reasons such as getting around some amazing association.  They fully understand that you are the product of the people you hang around, so if you want to be successful guess what, you hang around successful people! It really isn’t rock science, it’s success principals and you can read them in a lot of different books.  So don’t take my word for it :)

I was listening to our team talk and it really just fires me up and fills me up with what they want in life.  What’s awesome is that we have the ability to help coach them through some amazing personal growth and then apply that personal growth to a business model that will allow to obtain whatever dreams and goals they have.  They all know it’s not easy but are willing to do whatever it takes to reach their goals.  They understand that price and prize correlate and some of our team members have big prizes they want. HAHA. 

I just love being able to give back to these people and invest some amazing time into them and really help them through whatever it is they need help with.  Coaching and mentoring people is quite fulfilling and before I started this business I never fully understood what it meant to really mentor someone, now I do and our team thanks us for it every time they see us.  Because we have such servant hearts we’ve attracted the same qualities in the people on our team and they will just duplicate what we’ve done and attract the same type of people.  Those 2%’ers :)

You really need to find a coach or mentor in life.  Find one that has the marriage you want, find one that has the type of relationships you want, find one that has the financial success you want and get around them.  Ask for their mentorship and coaching.  Sometimes you will need to earn it, but when you do, soak it up because it’s worth it.

So are you building a business of your own?  Do you have a reason to do more with your life?  What are your reasons?

Freedom Thoughts

Posted on by

Some coaches of ours had a Freedom event a few days ago and it really got me thinking about my own freedom and my wife’s freedom.  The videos I posted in the previous post were from a lot of our upline coaches where they walked away from their jobs FOREVER.  They are 100% debt free and free to sleep in whenever they want.  No more waking up to a blaring alarm clock, total control over their lives.

I WANT THAT!  WE WILL GET THAT!

When you see people that are your direct mentors and coaches its awesome to know that with their guidance and help you will obtain that as well.  How can you not be fired up when people you associate are free of their jobs, have no debt and can do whatever they want and know the money they are making is residual??  I mean really?

That’s all I gotta say about that :)

An Example of Amazing Coaches

Posted on by

Check out these two videos put together of our two of our upline coaches that we continually get mentorship and coaching from. Team Wagner and Team Whalen! We could not ask for better coaches and mentors. They have amazing hearts and will lead this Alberta market to things unseen before in this part of Canada!! Mark my words! These guys have stepped away from their full time jobs because of this business we are in and my wife and I will also be doing the same in a very short time with hard work, determination and persistency and consistency! There is no option of failure and no option of turning back… there is only… FREEDOM!

What is Freedom?

Mentorship and Coaching

Posted on by

I’ve mentioned before the 95% / 5% split of what we do.  5% of what we do is contract with Amway Global to provide the products that we sell.  However what makes us different from a lot of other training programs for Amway Global and quite frankly business’s around the world is the 95% of what we do which is the mentorship and coaching. 

You take a look at any job you have currently and ask yourself will my boss coach me or mentor me so that I can become better then him?  The answer 99% of the time is going to be no.  We are all stuck in jobs where we punch in and punch out and make the guy at the top, the CEO, all the money.  We trade our time for money on a 1 to 1 ratio and that’s it.  Sound familiar?

We are sewing into and associating with some pretty amazing people who all have great marriages, who love each other fully, who are successful and who want nothing more then for us to succeed.  I don’t know about you but I enjoy hanging around people who are successful.  You are the product of your own environment and if you don’t change that then you won’t change.  Meaning if you and your friends are all just living paycheck to paycheck, paycheck to paycheck, then you will continue to live paycheck to paycheck, paycheck to paycheck.  I’m sorry but if I have an opportunity to change that, I’M GOING TO TRY IT.  In the words of Dave Severen, “Find out what other people are doing, AND DO THE OPPOSITE!” 

I’ve been blessed by our coaches who provide us with so much guidance and mentorship it’s unbelievable.  I don’t know any other job that has provided me with this in my lifetime.  So if you ask me why I am so excited and why I want to share this with other people that’s exactly why.  Do I necessarily care about selling you products?  No, I care about seeing you succeed and making something for yourself, changing your life so that you can have an even better marriage, a better friendship, a better support system and a better life.  The products are just the vehicle for how we get there, but the coaching and mentorship is what will change our lives and make us better people so that we can help others do the same.

That is what sets us apart from all others out there.

Cafe Christmas Marketing Event

Posted on by

Lots of People Christmas ShoppingWow, we just had a Christmas Marketing evening this evening, well yesterday night as I write this at 1:15am.  We had 460 people turn out for the Edmonton Christmas Event.  We had different boths, Nutrilite, Legacy of Clean, an Artistry Facial Centre, and a bunch of other booths showing the type of products we have, the Ribbon Gift Cards and so so much more. 

It’s so awesome to see the traction building here in Edmonton.  A lot of people came out to see that we are not a bunch of weird people, we are not a cult, we have great products that have a great price and are BETTER then what you can get from all those other stores you have to wait in line at.  Once people actually see that we are just selling products that you buy anyway they totally get it.  A lot of the people have already seen the plan or maybe they are just shopping for Christmas gifts, but they just get it.  They realize the time saved by not having to get in a car, drive down to the store, sift through all the rows of product, wait in line, and then have to drive home.  They can get all these awesome products right from the comfort of their living room.

One quick think about the market here in Edmonton, Brad Duncan mentioned when he was here a few weeks ago that he’s not seen the World Wide Dreambuilder / Amway Global business take shape as it is here.  It’s the hard work and qualification process that is really pumping out solid teams with hardly anyone backing out or quitting.  We don’t want 98%’ers, we want the 2%’ers, the winners, the people who have a need, want and desire in life to make something for themselves.

I just have to say tonight was such a great event put on by the Wagners they are such great people, great coaches and great mentors.  Showing us this business really does work!
