Having Fun Building Our Business

Posted on by

lik-m-aid-fun-dip There was a message that came out on our communication system from our upline Double Diamond asking our leaders in this Edmonton market why we are growing and what we are doing that is so “special”.  First what we are doing is nothing special and there are no huge secrets.  What really came across from this message is the fun that we have building this business.  I took a look back at some of the things we’ve done, people we’ve met and all the other things in between and I can honestly say that’s probably a large reason to our own success as well.  We genuinely LOVE and have FUN with what we do because we are never limited to what we can and cannot do. 

When we are showing the plan, or attending events we create a fun atmosphere and why not?  It honestly is probably one of the key factors with our success and the rest of the success of our team.  I’m uplifted when getting around the people on our team or the people on other teams at the larger events.  I can say that sometimes I’m more uplifted in these events then some of the non-business events or parties that I attend.  There are just so many negative people going nowhere that try and make other people feel the same as them where you ask yourself what the heck is your problem.  Keep your problems to yourself.

So we have a ball with everything we do.  Currently we are putting together a few marketing events and so many ideas for making it successful are coming through our minds.  Our team members are excited and pumped to put together a great event and that in turn just helps fuel our excitement.  I’ve never really been an event planner and helping my wife put together this new event is pretty sweet.  I’ve taken some of my technology knowledge and put that into some great ideas for what we can do.  It will be a first class event and best of all its going to be fun.

Taking a look around this market and the events we’ve attended i can see exactly why we are growing, and it’s the fun everyone has.  Sure there are some ups and downs, and EVERY business has them but it’s the attitude you have to move forward and push through them.  However if you enjoy what your doing then it really doesn’t matter at all now does it.  I’m only speaking from our own experience and we love what we do and all the aspects of it.  It’s one of the major reasons why this market is the fastest growing market in all of North America. 

Night of Inspiration

Posted on by

Inspiration So maybe you thought I’d not make a post today eh?  Well I’ve not gone to sleep so it’s still today and this blog post counts for the Summer Blogging Challenge.

This evening we got the chance to hear an amazing speaker talk on success, but more importantly talk about family.  Family is huge for me if you’ve not already understood that from me.  I love hearing how other people in this business have been impacted to allow such amazing things happen for their families.  Tonight I was inspired and maybe some people think going to hear someone speak to inspire you is lame or a waste of time or what not.  I for one think there is nothing wrong with being inspired by someone because in the world we live in there are not a lot of people to be inspired from.  Maybe I’m wrong but I think people get “inspiration” from wrong sources, not saying that my sources are the be all, but I think people really need to look and where they get inspired from and ask themselves, do they have the fruit on the tree?

Afterwards we had a great chance to meet up with our team and hear what kind of inspiration they took away from tonight.  It’s called a “Night Owl” and is why this blog post is so late.  I honestly love hearing what others have to say after an evening like this.  Everyone takes different things away and it’s pretty cool to hear how people interpret things.  Working with the people we have on our team is such an amazing blessing to us as they inspire us to be better people and better leaders for them.  Pretty humbling task I think.

Anyway it’s late and I’m ready for bed!

Profitable Business

Posted on by

Profitablel You know I was pretty sceptical when my wife first started this business and thought it was a scam, it wouldn’t work, we’d end up loosing money, all kinds of negative sceptical things.  WOW how I was wrong.

As we continue to build our business I’m continually surprised at the personal growth I’ve gone under and how so many people that know me continue to say wow you’ve changed and are so upbeat, positive and full of energy. Well thank you!  You are right I have changed and it’s a good change.  I have to owe it to the people we associate with, you have no idea what that does to someone when they get around people that are just successful, positive and moving their life forward.

We are doing just that, we are moving our life forward one day at a time and knocking down huge goals.  In December we killed off our MasterCard and cut that up, in January we killed our HUGE VISA debt and here in February we’ve reached what Amway Global recognized as 1000 pins.  That goal won’t mean much to most but it’s a significant goal because it means you are producing a successful franchise and making profits.  That’s not to say we were not making profits before being 1000 pin, it just means we have solidified a milestone and we are continually moving forward.  There is one more goal we are 99% done and that’s a World Wide Dreambuilder’s goal and I’ll have a separate post about that.  But one could say we are flying as high as ____’s :)

We’ve got some great clients with which we invest time into them to make sure they have the right product to fit their needs, and we continually follow up and provide great customer service to them.  Where else can you find that kind of service?  Does Wall Mart call you up asking how your recent purchase was?  Probably not.  So to those clients I say thank you for your business, we appreciate it and look forward to continually serving you.

Lastly we’ve got some amazing amazing people who we are now coaching and mentoring through an amazing business.  We’ve got strangers who are becoming amazing friends, we’ve friends who are becoming even deeper friends, and last but not least we have family that are building this business with us.  This pretty wicked mix of people are a bunch of warriors who just understand there is more to life then living paycheque to paycheque, Friday to Friday.  They understand that the goals, dreams and people they want to influence are not possible with their regular 9-5 job.  They want more, and they all have that “do whatever it takes” mentality.  I’m proud to be working with these people but more importantly I’m proud to be investing time into them as we all develop amazing relationships.

Yes our business is profitable with money, however we find it more profitable because we are investing time into amazing people so that they can achieve the lives they really want, not the lives that are controlled by their jobs.  It really is amazing the type of business we build here, it’s unlike anything out there, it just doesn’t compare.

Fired Up About Life

Posted on by

Yeah that’s right, Lindsay and I are just fired up about life right now.  We’ve got our dreams and goals written down, we are busting down debt like nobodies business and working with some amazing amazing people.  You really have no idea what it feels like to be associated with people that are on the same path in life as you and are also fired up about life.  We just got home from some great association time and while I want to go to bed I can’t cause I’m just so FIRED UP!

I think it’s important to be excited and positive about where you are in life and where you are going, I believe it shows you are on the right path.  I’ve never EVER felt this great about where we are and where we are going and the most important thing about this is I’m moving in the same direction WITH my wife and not against her.  We are 100% unified and on the same path, and that is amazing.
