The side project that transformed my life

The side project that transformed my life

When I was 50 years old, I had accepted the fact that I was going to feel worse and worse as I got older and older. Thankfully, someone told me about a nutritional system that showed me that I was mistaken. Now, I feel better than I’ve felt since I was in my 20s, and I want everyone to feel the way I feel. Join me on a mission to have fun, take control, and change the world, one life…

Powerful Persuasion Principles

Powerful Persuasion Principles

One evening last weekend, my daughter wanted me to go jogging along the beach with her. I had taken a long walk with my wife and son that morning, but I was still up for a nice relaxing run. Unfortunately, a storm came up before we started. So we decided to jog the next morning instead. Bright and early, we headed out on the sand. It was beautiful. We had barely got started when I told my daughter we should…

Business skills — Practice leads to success

Business skills — Practice leads to success

The other day, I was listening to a college football game while I was driving home. One of the announcers pointed out that the statistics were pretty even, but one team was winning because its players had made athletic plays at the right times. It occurred to me that the same idea applies to business in general and network marketing in particular. Many people work hard at MLM, but never seem to get ahead. They’re as busy as people who…
