The opportunities and strategies for success in network marketing; Amateurs convince, professionals sort; See your venture through to success; Never give up (from 11-4-09)
I am talking with you today from a beach on Kauai, with the sound of waves in the background. It is still dark outside since it is 5:00 in the morning here, and the moon is so gorgeous! My wife and I have come here this week to join with other top-income earners in our network marketing company called USANA. We are members of an elite group called the Fortune 25, and we are here to celebrate our success. I've been in USANA for about fifteen years, and the company was still relatively new when I decided to give it a try. It was about 1994 when my secretary at the time, Collette Larsen, suggested I look at this company. With poor finances at the time, I was very resistant. I didn't expect this venture to work, so I wouldn't listen. Sometimes you may feel that way when I make suggestions on this Breakfast call. The ideas may not fit into your belief system, or the timing isn't right, or you are prioritizing something else. But some beliefs we inadvertently build up (possibly controlled by our critical voice), which hold us down like prisoners. If you truly want to be in the top 1% of anything you want to do, you must be very open-minded. Even though I wasn't open at the time, my wife was. She saw the opportunity and eventually I saw the light too. Since the inception of USANA, about one million people have enrolled - some stayed, most moved on for various reasons - and now I am number 24, among their top income-earners in the world. About 200,000 people are currently active in the company.
