Great Quotes

Here are some great quotes heading into the New Year:

Integrity is the most valuable and respected quality of leadership. Always keep your word. --Treasury of Quotes by Brian Tracy

I'm so optimistic I'd go after Moby Dick in a row boat and take the tartar sauce with me.--Zig Ziglar's Little Book of Big Quotes

If you don't know where you are going, it doesn't matter if your alarm doesn't go off in the morning.--Excerpts from the Seeds of Greatness Treasury by Denis Waitley

The greatest form of maturity is at harvest time. That is when we must learn how to reap without complaint if the amounts are small and how to reap without apology if the amounts are big.--Excerpts from The Treasury of Quotes by Jim Rohn

Why Create a Funded Proposal?

A Funded Proposal is a great way to defray the costs of your lead generation.

The essence of a funded proposal is that you offer something of value to the prospect
(information) in exchange for their name, phone number and e-mail address. You also offer them an e-book as a solution to their problem or concern. In our case we offer them an e-book that will assist them with their OWN company if they are already affiliated with one. By purchasing your e-book your prospect defrays the cost of your lead generation and allows you to potentially get the leads that you generate for free!

Teaching Module Funded Proposal--Slide 1

This will be slide 1 of my Internet presentation. I wrote this in October 2006 for MDC. Tally Ho! Ouida


The buzz words are funded proposal.

Funded proposal means that you offer a product
or service for sale while collecting a lead.

This product or service will subsidize or
completely cover the costs of generating a lead.

So instead of paying the going rate of 6 dollars
for a self-generated lead on the internet, you pay
substantially less or nothing through a funded proposal.

Put another way, a budget of 300 dollars per month
will pay for 50 leads at 6 dollars per lead.

That same 300 dollars will pay for 100 leads at
3 dollars a lead through a funded proposal or,
for a completely efficiently executed proposal, that
300 dollars will pay for an infinite number of leads
if the entire amount 300 dollars is recouped through the
funded proposal.

The goal of these newsletters is to help you run as
efficient a proposal as possible.

In premarketing we have the statistics to help
you run an efficient campaign.

There are several ways to drive traffic to your site:

Articles
Press releases
Classified Ad sites
Pay-per-click advertising

Press releases and classified ads require
an upfront fee for uncertain traffic and erratic
conversion rates.

Pay-per-click advertising allows
pay as you go advertising and optimal control
of your budget and results.

If your conversion rate is 49.2% meaning
49.2% of people who go to your site opt in
to receive your auto responders.

4.7% of people who opt in buy the e-book.

Okay...now for a little math. If you
have a budget of 100 dollars, how many e-books
would you need to sell to break even???.

The answer is 4.

4% of 100 opt ins will buy based on premarket
results.

100 opt ins is 49% of what number??

204....

How much can you afford to pay per click to create
204 clicks if you have a budget of 100 dollars?

49 cents...

So there you have it...the basis of a budget
and a strategy to begin marketing.

So go to it and have some fun!

Napoleon Hill: Some Succeed...Others Fail...Why?

As some of you may know, I am slowly reading a collection of essays by Napoleon Hill entitled A YEAR OF GROWING RICH. Here's this week's essay:

"This question has mystified people since humans first became dissatisfied with cave dwellings and tried to find some way to make life more comfortable. Perhaps the following comparisons between the characteristics of a failure and a successful person will help answer the question.
The successful person knows precisely what she desires, has a plan for getting it, believes in her ability to get it, and devotes a major portion of her time to acquiring it. The failure has no definite purpose in life, believes that all success is the result of "luck," and moves on her own initiative only when forced to do so.
The success is a aster salesperson who has learned the art of influencing others to cooperate in a friendly spirit to carry out her plans and purposes. The failure finds fault with people. She goes out of her way to let them know about her critical attitude.
The successful person thinks before she speaks. She weighs her words carefully, and she emphasizes her likes concerning people, minimizing her dislikes or not mentioning them at all. the unsuccessful person does just the opposite. She speaks first, thinks lter. her words bring only regret and embarrassment and cost her irretrievable benefits because of the resentment they engender.
The successful person expresses opinions only after having informed herself so she can do so intelligently. The failure expressses opinions on subjects about which she has little or no knowledge.
The successful person budgets time, income and expenditures. She lives within her means. The failure squanders time and income wit a contemptuous disregard for their value.
The successful person takes a keen interest in people, wspecially those with whom she has something in common, and cultivates a bond of friendship with them. The failure cultivates only those from whom she wants something.
The successful person is open-minded and tolerant on all subjects, toward all people. the failure has a closed mind, steeped in intolerance, which shuts her off from the recognition of favorable oportunities and the friendly cooperation of others.
The successful person keeps abreast of the times and makes it an important responsibility to know what is going on, not only in her own business, profession or community but throughout the entire world. The failure concerns herself only with her immediate needs, acquiring them by whatever means are available---fair or foul.
The successful person keeps her mind and outlook on life positive at all times. She recognizes that the space she occupies in the world and the success she enjoys depend upon the quality and quantity of service she renders. She makes it a habit to render more service than she promises. The failure looks for "something for nothing" or something under the table which she did not earn. And when she fails to get it, she blames the greed of others.
The successful person has a keen respect for her Creator and expresses it frequently through prayers and deeds of helpfulness to others. The failure believes in nothing but her own desire for food and shelter and seeks those at the texpense of others when and where she can.
All in all, there is a big difference in both the words and the deeds of the successful person and the failure. But each person is where she is and what she is because of her own mental attitude toward herself and others.

The New Training Manual: telling your own story

On the TeamXLR8 training call this Saturday, Mike and Pat helped us figure out how to write a compelling story. This was a very useful training, and the way you make it sizzle is to focus on the following questions:

1. What were you doing before you started Usana?
2. Why did you start looking for alternative ways to make money?
3. How did you react to Usana?
4. Did you have previous experience in MultiLevelMarketing?
5. Why did you choose Usana?
6. What are your feelings about Usana since joining?

Honestly, if you spend a few minutes writing down the answers to these questions, you will have the beginning of a very compelling personal story. But you must take action!

Calvin Coolidge on Persistence from Convention

Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

Fitting in a business with a busy life

Now you have a clearly identified "Why" (Y>X see convention notes) you need to be get prepared. This should not take you longer than an of hour, I am not talking about 'getting ready to get ready'.
Here is what I do.

• I have a folder, use the one in your BDS.
• In there my names list, and my your printed leads,
• Application forms x 8. The first 4 are already filled in with sponsor and placement info. One for each leg. Once an application is filled in, I put the new associates info along with my sponsor info onto a fresh application.
• Latest pricelists of the countries I am working in.
• Master diary, depending on how you work this could be in paper form or use Outlook and back up to a PDA. This will make sure you don't double book appointments.
  
• Selection of leaflets, business cards and CD's/DVD's for prospecting on the go.

Take this with you where ever you go, you don't know when you will have the opportunity to make some calls, or get into conversation with someone.

Plan A vs. Plan B

You can work 40 hours a week for 40 years and retire or you can work 10 hours/wk for 4 years and create a residual income. Would you rather spend 4 or 5 years at "hard labor" or face "life without parole?"

Hint: it's only "hard labor" if that's what you perceive it to be. You can be an "easyologist."

"How to send out the 'Vibe'" from Jared Krebs

Quickly, Easily and Surprisingly EARLY,
I am a SOLID GOLD Director in Usana which is in process right now!

In return for this rank and money, I will give the most efficient service of which
I am capable. Rendering the fullest possible QUANTITY and best possible
QUALITY of service in the capacity of USANA representative.

I BELIEVE I will have this pin. My FAITH is SO STRONG I can now SEE IT with
my eyes and TOUCH it with my hands!!!

It is now awaiting TRANSFER to me in the proportion that I deliver the service
I intend to render in return for it. This INCLUDES ME AND MY TEAM!!!

I am awaiting a plan by which to achieve GOLD DIRECTOR and I will follow
that plan when it is received!!!


and Jared also reprograms his beliefs:

"When I go on a run, everything that needs to happen ACTUALLY HAPPENS! A WAY IS ALWAYS MADE! I am a solid GOLD Director Quickly, Easily and Surprisingly Early in every way on EVERY week!"

How can I fit a business into an already busy life?

Do you wonder how you can fit in a business into your already hectic life? I can, I have 5 kids between the ages of 3 and 18, and help in my husbands business, attend church several times a week.

The first thing to ask yourself is not 'how' can I do this, but 'why' am I doing this. Do you really have a desire to create a further stream of income? Then, so long as you have that desire you need to create something visual to remind yourself daily. Create a dream board and put it where you will see it every day. http://www.mycorkboard.com has a brilliant program to put your goals and pictures on your screensaver.

Once you have sorted out the 'why' the 'how' will come.

Use the FDA to Move Your Business Forward

I decided that I am tired of having the same old business cards....sooo I am getting rid of them and gaining new customers in the process.

The FDA is stepping in to regulate supplements....Frankly it is about time...but USANA is ALREADY in compliance.

I am simply going to people that I am doing business with already and asking them if they take supplements. A surprising number actually do. I then ask them if they know about the FDA regulations governing supplements. Many do not. I tell them that their manufacturer may have trouble with supply as they come into compliance with the FDA and that now is a great time to learn about USANA.

It works!

Special Words from Ladd McNamara

Read these words from Dr. Ladd McNamara who just avanced to Emerald Director after 10 years with USANA. His father-in-law is Dr. Denis Waitley. There is no such thing as good genes for network marketing. This is a business of INTENTION as he explains below.

Tally Ho!


A message from Dr. Ladd McNamara:



After 9 or 10 years or so of being "stuck," I am no longer Gold! I should send a certain person (B.M.) a "thank you" card for giving me the incentive. He was really the impetus for why I decided it was time to advance. He was the adversity in my life, ...the reason I needed to prove to myself and others that I have the will and the spirit, let alone the belief in myself and in this company to rise in the ranks and spread the message and vision of Dr. Wentz. I could no longer sit back in my comfort zone and just "take it." My will to succeed will always be greater than anybody's desire to stop me from spreading Dr. Wentz's vision. No fearful man who, and his followers can stop this good work of Dr. Wentz when we have the true spirit of this work within us. We know it is the right thing, the right company, the right products, the right compensation plan, ... that it is the real deal. I have worked closely with Dr. Wentz, with the Corporate leaders, the scientists, ... I have been on the "inside," and I know this is real with every fiber of my being. I have seen the difference these products make in the lives of others. I have seen the joy and happiness this company brings to others. The family this company provides. This is a true mission, a true calling. For those who don't get it, or don't see it, ...they will have a hard time succeeding. For those who do "get this," and see that there is no separation between the mission, the products and the business, they will succeed beyond their dreams, as long as they are committed. And, there is a difference between "wanting" to succeed and "being committed" to succeed. So, find your own " B.M." to give you your incentive to help you move from your comfort zone ... something that will give you enough reason, enough intention to MOVE FORWARD!

As far as making my "run" for advancement out of Gold, I was no more "ready" for this run than I had been at any time over the last several years. Nothing was different. The only thing that changed in me was my INTENTION. As I have gone through the Klemmer and Assoc. work, some of the things taught to me: "Intention + mechanism = Results" My "Intention," (or deepest commitment) was to get the highest rank advancement I could, that of Emerald Director before by Convention. The "Mechanism" was "how" I was going to do it. And the "Result" is me actually attaining that of "Emerald Director," which I did. If the Intention is so HIGH, as mine was (thanks to what happened to me, thanks to our friend, BM) then the "mechanism," or "how I got there" became irrelevant," meaning .... I was going to get there one way or the other. Maybe Emerald Director is not a BIG DEAL in the grand scheme of things, but to me it represents something huge. It is my "line in the sand," as Lynn Allen-Johnson likes to say. It is where I draw the line, and says, I'm here, and I'm on board, and nothing will stop me. I'm committed, and I'm ready to move!

What happened was that I was so determined, ....my team was so determined, .... our USANA spirit was so strong there was no way that this was not going to happen. And, the other saying by Klemmer and Associates is, "When the Intention is Clear, the Mechanism Will Appear!" And, sure enough, despite the set backs and struggles, things came about, "miracles" happened, legs were reactivated, people came aboard because they saw our spirit and passion, people were mobilized into action. My team came alive like never before. I am so proud of my team. I could not have done this without my team. So, the combination of my intention with my team as the mechanism was the key to the result. It was truly an amazing thing. The assistance from Lynn Allen-Johnson as my mentor, coach, and friend who gave me support cannot be understated. She was there for me throughout the entire run, along with my Brett Lumpkin, my friend from Klemmer and Associates, and of course, my team. And, lastly, my parents .. My mother brought me into this world, into USANA, and assisted me along this Emerald run as well. An important woman behind the scenes to whom I must always give proper credit.

We all must show that the USANA spirit, ....speaking for myself, that MY spirit cannot, and WILL NOT be squelched or stopped by any force...as I believe this to be a mission from God, ....the Vision of Dr. Wentz, which is to spread the word of True Health and True Wealth around the world. These products are intended for everyone, and could help millions of people. The compensation plan could provide freedom for hundreds of thousands of people. And, I think this is just the beginning. What a wonderful time to be involved with USANA. I am proud to be a part a "warrior" in this fight for Health and Freedom!

The FDA Regulates Nutritional Supplements

Yes that is right! Read about it here http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/2007/NEW01657.html

Suggestion on Hotel Room for Convention/ other convention info

Hi, everyone; This is where my downline is staying for convention; check with your own upline in our crossline group in case they have other plans; but I am sharing this so that others can join us if they want to. There is also other info below about the convention. GO GO GO to convention! Bye for now, Freeda

Here is the information on where we're staying for Usana International Convention August 22-25, and I encourage you that are going to stay here, too, so that we can meet and spend time together more easily. Crystal Inn, 230 West 500 South, Salt Lake City, UT. DO NOT RESERVE THIS BY GOING TO THE HOTEL'S WEBSITE OR BY CALLING THE HOTEL - DO AS EXPLAINED BELOW, BECAUSE IT IS A BLOCK RATE FOR THE USANA CONVENTION; AND I DON'T THINK THAT THE HOTEL ACTUALLY HAS ANY ROOMS AVAILABLE EXCEPT FOR THOSE IT IS HOLDING FOR USANA. THE BLOCK RATE IS $108 PER NIGHT! Please reserve your room NOW as I guarantee you this hotel will sell out as convention approaches. Many of the others, including ALL of the closer hotels, are already sold out. This hotel is 3 1/2 blocks from the Delta Center and the Salt Palace. This is the closest available hotel to the Delta Center and to the Salt Palace, where our meetings take place. There are more plush hotels, but I have found in the past that being closer to the convention site is much more important than the hotel itself. The Crystal Inn does look nice and has nice amenities; including free wireless internet, free hot breakfast, etc.

Here's how to get your hotel reservation: login at www.usana2day.com - click on 'Contests and Events' - click on 'International Calendar of Events' - click on August '2007 International Convention' link - click on 'Register' - click on 'Find a Hotel' - in the bottom right hand corner fill in the dates you will be staying, and then at the next page choose 'Crystal Inn'.

Since convention starts with 'Usana Fest', with the rock band Styx, at the Usana Amphitheatre on Wednesday night August 22, and the general assembly meetings start at the Delta Center early Thursday morning August 23, I strongly urge you to get to Salt Lake City early on August 22 (Wednesday) so you can complete your registration before the events start, and you don't miss anything. Also, convention doesn't end until early evening August 25 (Saturday), so I encourage you to wait until Sunday to fly home; you may still be wanting to go to the tour of Usana on Saturday evening if you haven't had a chance to see it before then.

Also, register for the convention, itself, at the same links indicated above, or by calling Usana at 801-954-7200. Use your free registration passes if you still have some. They are only good for a year from when you enroll in Usana! You can use them for your spouse, also.

Here's a taste of what the opening night 'Usana Fest' will be like: (see photo and text below) Call me with any questions about this information or convention. Best of Success, Freeda 502-425-8480 or 502-553-0241

Usana Fest:
With food, fun, and frivolity, USANAfest will start convention with a bang. Mingle with Dr. Wentz, Dave Wentz, Fortune 25 and Growth 25 members, and the USANA management team in a casual environment. Rock out with Styx, dance with other Associates, and celebrate 15 years of USANA. This is one party you don't want to miss!
The opening reception will take place Wednesday at the USANA Amphitheatre located at 5200 South 6200 West, West Valley City, Utah. You may board a bus at the Salt Palace Convention Center (south side on 200 S.) or you may drive to the reception.
Directions and Transportation
For driving directions view a map here. Buses will also leave the convention center and will run continually to and from the amphitheatre until closing.
Food and Beverages
For your convenience, concession stands at the amphitheatre will be selling food and beverages throughout the evening. Cash only.
Temperature Considerations
While August days in Salt Lake City tend to be quite warm, the evenings cool off. The USANA Amphitheatre is an outdoor venue so bring clothing to be comfortable throughout the evening.

What is your vision?

Why are you building a Usana business? What is your dream? Your vivid vision is the key to your success in your business. It is the glue that will keep you motivated and connected to creating consistent and persistent action. Be as specific as possible. In two years, where will you be? What will you be doing? What trips will you take? Who will be with you: what does it look like, feel like, smell like, who are you with, what are you wearing, what is making you smile?

Read your vivid vision every morning and every night. Keep moving towards what you want and leave the negative chatter behind.

Re-read or listen to the abridged cd version of THINK AND GROW RICH. There is tremendous value in this classic.

Where to Find It - Prospecting Tools

Here are some tips for finding marketing materials:

The "Health Assessment" is available on all of our Usana websites. If you have not set up your own Usana website, you can use mine at http://gwen.usana.com Either way if it is yours or mine, just look on the left hand side of the page and you will find it. I'm re-sending you the other two documents we discussed, referring to your vision statement and to making a list.

As for the doctors' offices. There are many choices. The most comprehensive is the Product Brochure, which you can purchase via the "Shop at Usana" tab on your website. There are also various one-sheets and brochures which you can look at when you go to your back office, go to the "Prospecting" tab, then "Tools". In addition, on that page, you will find a "vendor link" to ProTools, which sells all the amazing tools we use to build our business.

Dr. Strand 'Healthy for Life' conference call Sunday night April 22 8 PM EST

Dr. Ray Strand, MD, who is a Usana associate and a member of the Medical Advisory Board, has a monthly prospecting conference call for his 'Healthy for Life' program, which is detailed at http://www.releasingfat.com The next one is Sunday April 22 at 9 PM Eastern time, phone # 1-646-519-5860 pin code 0234# . This is a great call, so listen in as it will build your own posture to understand more about what the Usana products are doing to change lives and help people overcome overweight issues. When the weight goes, so do many other health problems. Also, if you ever decide to become a Certified Team Leader, as I am, of Dr. Strand's 'Healthy for Life' program, as is discussed at his website (mentioned above) you can use my discount code, which is winwithUsana to save some money on the cost of the training. There is no benefit to me; it just is a way for you to save money.

Also, if you aren't a member of Dr. Strand's website, http://bionutrition.org consider subscribing; while some of the links at his website are not subscribed-based, by subscribing you get access to his 'Specific Recommendations' which provide information on supplement protocols for many health problems. Also, you can have customers or prospects do the 'Free Health Assessment' at your Usana website (or at www.usana.com if you don't have a Usana website) which will result in them receiving a list of recommended products from Usana that would be appropriate for their health condition and health history.

Sizzle/Potluck at Gwen's!

For those of you in the Los Angeles area or with associates in the Los Angeles area, Simon Chan and I are going to be co-hosting a sizzle-potluck social event at my house on Monday night, April 23rd from 7:30pm on. If you would like to come or would like to invite someone, please contact me via email at gwen@usana.com (Corey, Brenda, Elias, Francisca, Leah, Alma: this means you!)

The System

I am still having great success with Don and Nancy Failla's 45second presentation. I have 3 new appointments set over the next few days to meet with internet leads in the L.A. area. One of these leads is a local lead that I passed along to Covington. It's a very old lead, but the gentleman was intrigued.

There is a companion piece to the 45second presentation. It's called The System. You can buy both books on Amazon for $20. The System teaches you how to teach your team to duplicate, even from a distance. And it dovetails very nicely with Tim Sales' Inviting Formula. Because it deals with "what would it mean to you to be able to own your life?" "What would you do with your life if you owned it?"

It also addresses the amount of time people can devote to this business. This system truly enables people to teach and sponsor others in a very short amount of time.

I strongly urge you to acquire this information and to begin using it. My business is in tremendous momentum as a result.

How to Change Your Autoship

Hi! I just got a great question from Ron Betta out of Florida about how to change your autoship. Go to http://www.unitoday.com and log in. In the upper right hand corner is an organge bar with 4 or 5 options. One of them is "Autoship". Click that and your current autoship will come up. Click the "change" link and you are in business. Do not forget to "save" your changes. By playing with the autoship feature, you will discover that you can set up alternating autoships for yourself. I have an autoship A that ships one set of products every other month and an autoship B that ships another set of products every other month.

New Training Manual Is On The Way

I just received an advanced copy of the training manual and am going through it now.
In order to train on this we will probably make sure that all existing team members receive a digital copy of it. Mike is planning to have the manual professionally published and bound and fulfilled through usana pro tools. The manual will come with 2 CDs as well. Therefore there will be a nominal cost to cover the professional content. 7-10 dollars is what we are thinking now. Will keep you posted!

Robert Kioysaki Comes to MDC

Robert Kiyosaki is now on MDC. The Author or Rich Dad/Poor Dad and the Cashflow Quadrants among other best-selling business books is now on MDC! The programmers at MDC created a plug in module so that the videos change out but your template does not change. Just log in to MDC and go to the My Account Tab and click Template 04.
The first presentation will change to the Kiyosaki "Perfect Business" DVD. A word of caution. As of this writing the video works best for Internet Explorer and Safari users not for Firefox or Netscape users.

New Team Training System

Well, if you were on the call tonight Gwen and Freeda shared exciting information about the Las Vegas regional and Ouida shared information about her trip to Malaysia. Gwen and Freeda shared insights from the Diamond Directors and Ouida shared how appealing our opportunity is to people in Malaysia but also how most people in the US would see a marked improvement in their lives with an additional 25, 000 to 30, 000 coming their way each year. The key is to know and understand what you have in your hands and to appreciate each success along the way. Celebrate going Builder as much as you would going
Gold.

The key to our business growth is duplication. Over the next several days to couple of weeks we will be moving to a duplicable system based on a few key principles...1) getting new associates started the same way every time and 2) teaching the one essential skill you need to grow your business...learning to invite.

Two key tools you must have are Lyle MacNamara's Power of Cellular Nutrition and Lynn Allen Johnson's The Rest of The Story.
You can get both of these from www.unitogether.com
