It’s “officially” OK to eat more eggs! - Post 400

It’s “officially” OK to eat more eggs!

For years, Dr. Wallach has been outspoken on the need to consume cholesterol in one’s diet.  The U.S. government, however, has done quite the opposite for the last 40 years. As many of us know, year after year, health officials have warned individuals as to the dangers of cholesterol consumption; linking it to heart disease, stroke, and many other health problems. That is until just recently.

After decades of American Dietary Guidelines restricting cholesterol consumption from foods such as eggs, red meat, seafood and dairy products, the advisory committee is no longer considering cholesterol a “nutrient of concern.”[1]  In the article, “The U.S. government is poised to withdraw longstanding warnings about cholesterol,” posted on The Washington Post, the nation’s top dietary officials are finally beginning to get in line with what Dr. Wallach has been saying for years; although there is still much work to be done.

Since the American Dietary Guidelines began suggesting lowering cholesterol in ones diet in 1941, consumption of foods “high in cholesterol, such as eggs, has dropped drastically; while heart disease, obesity, and other diseases such as Alzheimer’s continue to rise. What Dr. Wallach knew, and shared for years, is that early populations that consumed diets high in cholesterol had much healthier, longer lifespans than current populations. As a matter of fact, since medical doctors began restricting cholesterol intake, Dr. Wallach has noticed that there have been at least 25 new diseases created; including Alzheimer’s, which only appeared 40 years ago. Cholesterol is essential for a wide-range of functions in the body, including hormone production and helping to produce fatty insulation that makes up the brain; reaffirming the necessity to consume cholesterol.

While the rest of the U.S. population waits for the American Dietary Guidelines to get in line with Dr. Wallach and the 90 For Life message, Youngevity customers are already on the path to living younger, longer.  You can now continue to spread the Youngevity Revolution and share Dr. Wallach’s recommendation to consume at least 6 to 10 eggs a day, for optimal health!

Remember, prevention is the key!

Getting Your Business Organized - Post 399

Just wanted to share with you an article on getting organized that Mark Januszewski recently posted on his blog World's Laziest Networker

Competence Inspires Trust and Increases MLM Enrollements

WHY PEOPLE JOIN

Knowing why people join is a huge part of working smarter, not harder.

As a matter of fact, knowing why they do join you, what actually happens, being aware of it and leveraging that information is the critical difference that makes or breaks most people.

Let’s break this down a bit.

People DO NOT join because of:

1. The plan
2. The product
3. The company
4. The training
5. The tax benefits
6. The team
7. The market share
8. The stability
9. The _______

They join for the hope of a different outcome.

Big dream, little dream, big goal, little goal….it’s all the same.  It is the hope of a different outcome.

This is a risk for adults.  Adults, like you DO NOT want to:

1. Fail
2. Be embarrased
3. Be critisized
4. Feel foolish
5. Have their dream shattered, again

In the end, they enroll, with you, because they trust…they trust you.

While trust needs to be earned, Covey’s brilliant book, [way better than “Seven Habits of Highly Successful People”], “The Speed of Trust” shows us how to accelerate the speed that people will give their trust.

See, once they can imagine a different outcome, they only reason they join or do not join is trust.  They know they don’t know “how” to do it, they don’t really know that much about the company, plan, product of company…may only know you, not the 10,000 – 100,000 reps….so they are “trusting” you to show them how.

If they trust you, they will join.   If they don’t, they won’t.

Now you can listen to the moronic guru babel out there about “fear of loss” selling…or NLP language …and keep working harder and harder and harder..constantly trying to overcome objections, thinking of ways to pressure or manipulate people and use fear to try and scare them into the business….or you can look into your ethics and at your common sense and work smarter, have more fun and feel better about how you do what you do.

How do we do that latter?

Simple.

Again, people join AND build because they trust you.

In Covey’s book on trust, which we made a staple on our teams, he points out that competency dramatically accelerates the speed of trust.

It’s true.  And, it works.

So with kids, jobs, dogs, chores …life…it can be really hard to stay organized, be prepared, be on time and be, well, competent.

Overwhelmed?

The opposite, of course, is incompetence…and always looking for stuff, feeling overwhelmed and, well, cranky.

Competency is massive…especially since the prospect is dealing with all the chaos that you are too.

And I struggled, big time, losing scraps of paper I’d made notes on….not being able to find notes I had made about a prospect and then, overnight it changed.  Enrollment rates not only skyrocketed but so did production.   Teammates and others wondered how I could not only keep it all straight, they were stunned at how easily and smoothly my business was running….how “competent” I was.   And, as the trust teammates had grew, they were far more receptive to learning the skills and following them.

So, I showed ‘em how I did it.

They copied it…

The simple prospecting question that helps build your business - Post 398

Try asking this question with difficult prospects:

"How long can you wait?"

When a prospect says that he doesn't have time to build a business, but wants to earn $10,000 a month, ask him how long he can wait until he starts earning $10,000 a month.

He might say that he needs to work on earning more income now. Or, maybe he says that he can only wait six months or a year, but he knows that he eventually has to earn more money.

This question makes the assumption that the prospect will join, and that his only decision is how soon to join. It certainly makes the prospect think of the consequences of not joining - never having that increased income.

Zeppelin! - Post 397

Just had to share this. This is a group of grade schoolers right here from my home town, Shows just what you can accomplish when you work as a team. Some of my favorite tunes.

What to say to negative prospects? - Post 396

You know the type.

They say, "Oh, I would never do network marketing. I don't want to talk to my friends about something that would help them or improve their lives. I need to relax when I get home from my miserable job."

Those people.

So let's think about it. They have made a decision to wake up early when it is dark to go to work. They will fight traffic while commuting to a miserable job they hate. They will come home when it is dark. And they have agreed to do that almost every day of their lives.

 They are willing to sacrifice their happiness and lives to earn just enough money to stay in debt and barely survive. Now, that is a big, big sacrifice, so you know they are not lazy.

So why is it they won't join network marketing?

Because they don't believe it will work for them. They are afraid that their friends will reject them, that they don't know enough people, that they will work hard, waste their time, and not be successful.

So maybe we can help them believe?

Now, there are many ways we can help them believe more, so here are just two ways to get us started.

Way #1. Tell them, "Of course you don't know how to do network marketing yet. The company doesn't expect you to know how to do it before you start. But you will learn an easy system when you join, so it will be just as easy as your present job."

What are they thinking after you say this? "Hey, you are right. I am scared because I don't know how to do it. But that is okay that I don't know now. I will be able to learn a system."

Way #2. We learn better skills. When we have these skills we can confidently say, "I can teach you exactly what to say, word-for-word, to build your business. All you have to do is join and I will show you how to do it."

New people feel confident when they realize you are competent and promise to help them. That is why we want to learn the 25 basic skills of our business.

Building Relationships - Post 394

Each day I try to start out the day by reading different motivational or inspiration pieces. In today's reading I came across a short post by Joel Osteen called "Work on Your Dreams." I found it fit quite nicely with a lot of the things I have been posting for the past year or so and I have included his post below for you to enjoy as well.

I have spent a lot of time in the past couple of years on self development, goal setting, and developing an attitude of prosperity and gratitude instead of an attitude of constraint and servitude. For too many years I have worked 70 to 80 hours per week building other peoples dreams. Yes I have nice things as a result of all that work and thought I was working on my dreams. However, what I discovered in the Master Key Master Mind program was that in reality, autonomy and liberty is what I was truly seeking. Long hours working for others would never get me there. The only way to achieve what I really wanted would be to surround myself with others working toward similar goals. To develop my own mastermind group.

Joel mentions that "you want to be around dream-builders, not dream-crashers" and that you should "prune the relationships around you" that weren't leading you in the right direction. Likewise I have heard many times on this journey of self discovery and self development that your income is an average of the 5 or 10 people that are closest to you in your circle so if you want ot change your income you must change your circle of friends. The problem I had wasn't that I had the wrong circle of friends. My problem was that I had spent so much time chasing the income I had lost all contact with my circle.

So how do I recreate those relationships?

I recently spent some time with Tom Chenault. Tom has mastered the skill of networking with people and developing relationships and he shared how he develops those relationships. He looks for ways to reach out to people and connect with them so he can learn what he can do for them not what they can do for him.

Over the years he has mastered the art of relationship building by perfecting what he calls "The Coffee Shop Interview." He never talks about himself, the entire conversation is focused on them. His goal is to learn what it is that makes them tick. What motivates them and what pops their eyes open at 2 am. The entire premise of the coffee shop interview is to, as he fondly says, "be interested not interesting."

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
Surround yourself with the right people and you can fulfill the dreams God gives you. Put yourself in relationships with people who are not only like-minded, but are also seeking to honor God in their own lives. Here is a thought to consider today: if your friends don’t point you toward God’s goal for you, then they’re not very good friends. You want to be around dream-builders, not dream-crashers!

When you prune the relationships around you, you’re not cutting things out of your life; you’re making room for growth so that you can reach your God-given potential! When you make room for God’s best, you can walk away from the lesser things that the world has to offer.


A PRAYER FOR TODAY
God, I know You have my best in mind and in Your plans. Thank You for placing a dream in my heart and for giving me people to help lead me towards that dream. I pray that my relationships will honor You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen
