Transformation. To me, this is the word for 2012 and I am ready to back that up.
Today, I started on the Cinch Transformation Challenge and I wanted to invite those of you who want to become more healthy in 2012 to join me.
My weight loss goal in the next 4 months is 30 pounds.
Here is the great news...with the Cinch challenge, you will lose weight or you get your money back because of the unconditional guarantee of satisfaction backed by Shaklee.
The Cinch Transformation Challenge is a 4 month program and in the 4th month, your products are free.
I am going to be giving away your choice of an iPod Touch or a $200 shopping spree to the person who loses the most weight (by percentage) between now and the end of April.
My wife says that I can't enter my own contest = )
I love the last two weeks of December for a couple of reasons.
First, I have always had amazing results in my business in December...I think mostly because everyone else is taking time off and thinking that it isn't a great time to build.
Second, this is the time of year that I really focus on my skills. I read more books, buy and absorb lots of training products and I tend to write more emails and blog posts.
I'm pretty sure that part of me is thinking about the goals that I want to accomplish in 2012 and I know that if I want to get better and accomplish more, I need to become more (why the focus on personal development).
My focus on personal development can be traced back to the time I spent in Amway (or World Wide Group) back in the day. I didn't make money in Amway but I did come away with some skills.
I know that I am preaching to the choir here but there are a lot of people in this world that spend a lot of time complaining about their circumstances but rarely devote any time or energy to making themselves a better person and creating more value in the world as a human.
Skills can make you rich, my friends.
What if you spent the next six months developing a skill?
Let's assume the skill is in demand and you are able to train others, create a product or sell something online related to the skill. If you sold $50 a day worth of training or consulting or whatever, you just created a business that does over $18,000 a year.
Want to earn six-figures online?
Create enough value in the marketplace to sell $300 a day.
(This is totally connected to what I do with my Network Marketing business by the way.)
Once you create something that is in-demand, the selling part is very easy.
For example, I created MLM Blog Secrets and MLM Blog Code because I knew that people wanted to learn how to attract business by blogging.
Now, whenever I am on Facebook, I almost always have someone send me a link to their blog, asking me what I think about it. Typically I can offer a couple of suggestions and send them on their way, but a couple of weeks ago, I launched another product called MLM Blog Theme that (as far as I know) is the only WordPress theme specifically designed with Network Marketers in mind.
MLM Blog Theme includes an easy way to get connected with social media, a pop-up widget, a sidebar opt-in widget...basically all of the bells and whistles you need to create a blog built for marketing your business.
Today, someone sent me their blog and I took one look at it and realized that MLM Blog Theme would be be a huge help. So I told the other person about it. (Yes an incredibly complex selling technique.)
Right now, I am working on my skills in writing. What are you working on?

I think attractive networkers provide people with great value whether or not they choose to be in business with them or not. They are looked upon as a resource. It’s interesting to me: I’ve got an annoying networker that just drives me batty. He absolutely provides no value to anyone. Every single pitch he makes is, “Get in now, retire, sign up today. Get rich.” And I am like, “Really? Do people really fall for that? This is your whole, entire pitch?” And I get an email, almost once a week, pitching his deal. He provides no value whatsoever to people who don’t decide to get into his deal, and then who knows what he is providing in terms of value to people who are already in his deal. His whole attitude – “Get in and retire” – I mean… it’s just annoying as hell.
I had a chance to hang out with my friend Mark Hoverson a few weeks ago in Portland, Oregon and he let me in on what he was planning...the tough part has been keeping my mouth shut for the last few weeks, knowing this was coming...
A few years ago Mark was living in a trailer and qualified for food stamps, today he is a 7-figure earner who has some amazing videos he has offered to share with my readers.
You will want to see his story for yourself in this video:
Eric Su asked me to contribute an article to his project titled "The 2010 Networker Report - How To Make 2010 Your Best Year Ever In Network Marketing". I was happy to contribute along with many others including: Ann Sieg, Rod Nichols, and Dr. Joe Rubino.
You can download the report here for free with no strings attached (I'm not even asking for your email address): 2010 Networker Report
I got my copy and I hope that you have time to get yours. Mike Filsaime is a legend in Internet Marketing and he is literally giving away one of his best selling programs for free today.
You see, Mike is leaving the Internet Marketing Guru industry to focus on his true passions and he is giving away an early Christmas present to those who want to learn about his 7 Figure Secrets...the program (an actual physical product) ...
Back in February of 2007, Mike Filsaime held a secret Private Workshop at an undisclosed location.
Over 100 people paid $5000 for the Workshop.
He then took those DVD's (Which now sell for $1297) and sold it out in record fashion in under 7 days to 2500 people. Since then... over 3000 people have paid for that information.
The success stories that followed have changed the face of Internet Marketing.
(Filsaime, along with his 37 Staff Members, will do $10,000,000 this year in sales and is credited with showing other marketers how to grow a 7 figure Business.)
BIG DEAL!
Big Deal?
Recently, Mike hired a "TOP GUN" Internet Marketing Expert and Copywriter (That also attended the event.)
Mike Paid this "TOP GUN" $25,000 to watch all 16 DVD's of "The 7 Figure Code" and condense it into a Masterpiece...
THE RESULT...
An 85 Page report, no fluff, with all of the Gold nuggets, Pearls of Wisdom, and action plans for you to get in a 1 hours' read.
That's right, what 100 people paid $5000 for, and had to sit through 3 days, you will get all of the information crammed into 1 report that you can read in 1 sitting.
Here is the catch: There are only 10,000 units available and last I heard several thousand were already gone. Go grab your early Christmas present for yourself here.

The holidays are upon us; a time of celebration and joy. I love the last days of November through the beginning of the New Year. The pure magic of the holidays is something that I anticipate and enjoy each and every year.
For some though, the holidays have lost the joy and excitement they at other times have had. The pace of life has grown so fast—much faster than those first holidays I remember in my life—that some people don’t enjoy the times they get to spend with their family and friends during what is supposed to be days filled with joy and peace.
Why is that? Probably a lot can be laid at the feet of how fast-paced our times are, but that isn’t all.
I believe our holiday times should be wonderful and filled with lasting and enjoyable moments and memories. So how can we ensure that we come out of the holidays in January with great memories of the past month? Here are six thoughts that will help you experience the holidays the way they were intended to be experienced:
Be Temperate
Holidays can be days of excess for many—too much food, too many cookies and treats. Too much chocolate, schedules that are too busy. One thing that will help you enjoy the holidays is to be temperate. Enjoy the food. Enjoy the treats. Enjoy the busy schedule of activities and parties. But also be disciplined enough to know when to hold back, when to say, “No.” When we go overboard we regret it and lose the opportunity to fully experience that moment. But when we enjoy a little and refrain from going too far, then we can enjoy all that little piece of time has to offer.
Lower Your Expectations
Much of the frustration people experience from the holidays is from setting their expectations too high. They expect too much from friends or family, and when they don’t get what they want, they get frustrated. They expect presents to be perfect and when they aren’t, they get frustrated or disappointed. Instead of having huge expectations this holiday season, just take it as it comes and enjoy what you can. And this brings me to my next point.
Enjoy What You Can and Ignore the Rest
This holiday season, go with an attitude of knowing that things will be what they will be. You can’t control other people or their actions. If a family member pushes the limits of your patience, ignore that and instead focus on how much you can enjoy the time you have with other family members. If things don’t go perfectly—which they won’t—then enjoy what you can and let the rest slide. You will feel a lot better about life if you can take all things a little easier.
Stay Out of Debt
Debt is a killer. It will steal your enjoyment of life. Be sure to stay within your financial boundaries this holiday season. The last thing you want is to start the New Year with a deeper burden financially. Know where you are financially and stay within those limits. You don’t have to impress anyone, just buy gifts that you can afford and express your feelings in the giving of the gift.
Take Time for Yourself
Be sure that, no matter how busy you get, you take time for yourself. Take time to read. Take a long bath if that relaxes you. Take a walk. Spend some time of quiet in front of a fire. Don’t rush through the holidays and sap all of your energy. Your mind and body need to be reenergized, so be sure to take time to do so.
Focus on Your Spiritual Life
Ultimately, no matter what tradition you come from, the holidays are historically days in which we focus on the spiritual. Men and women are created with a natural draw toward spiritual life. However, our culture today tends to stay away from a focus on the spiritual, and that has even crept into our holidays. Be sure to place an emphasis on building your spiritual life and growing in that area. This will help keep you grounded and able to deal with anything that may come your way.
Friends, this time of year is another chance to remember the important truths of life and to enjoy time with dear friends and family.
May you experience the very best this holiday season and move into January better than ever!
Bob Burg talks about the following three principles in his booklet titled "The Success Formula":
1. Seek Out and Find the Information - Follow “The System”
This is really all about finding someone who has the success that you want, accepting their guidance and following their system. Make sure the system is producing results today.
2. Apply the Information Immediately - Knowledge Without Action Is the Same As No knowledge At All
Take action now. One trait that I found universal to six and seven figure income earners is a sense of urgency in doing the things that move a business forward. Have 20 calls to make? Make them now.
3. Be Persistent - Outlast the “Nos”
Knowledge and Persistence have way more to do with success than talent.
I have not seen a media outlet confirm this yet, (now confirmed) but multiple sources are telling me that Jim Rohn passed away last night at the age of 79. I was lucky enough to meet Jim Rohn and he is nothing short of an amazing man. A legend in the area of personal development. I would highly recommend that you pick up some of Jim Rohn's books and materials.
Update, I just received the following conformation:
The Passing of a Legend
With great sadness we share that Jim Rohn, our mentor and friend, left us December 5, 2009 for a better place.
Over the past 18 months, in his battle with Pulmonary Fibrosis, Jim assured us with a smile that all is good, that he would fight until the last breath, yet he had no fear as to what would be next. Jim’s faith was as much a part of his life as his desire to inspire and challenge us all to be the best we could be and to live our dreams.
Jim’s courage in his final months and days were a testament to his message that we should all fight the good fight. He never gave up and never gave in.
Jim Rohn touched millions of lives over the past 46 years through his seminars, books, articles and CDs. He always stayed long after an event t o shake hands, take pictures and sign autographs. He loved making a difference in people’s lives, that was his passion and inspiration. Yet he was also a private man who kept a small, loyal and caring inner circle. He was a tremendous friend to those who knew him.
Harold Dyke, long time close friend of Jim’s for over 55 years said it best, “As Jim is ending one life he is simultaneously being birthed into a new life. One that he has talked about over the years and anticipated with great joy in his last remaining days.”
Kyle Wilson, long time colleague and friend of Jim had this to say about his mentor, “Jim Rohn was a great human being. Jim had the rare ability to take any concept or idea and then frame it in such a way that the rest of us could see it more clearly. His wisdom and insights positively affected everyone he touched on some level and to so many of us it was in an extraordinary way. But even more impressive was Jim Rohn the man. He possessed style and charisma, yet was humble, kind and understated to all who knew him. I find myself every day reflecting, benefiting and passing on the wisdom and ideas that are rooted in Jim’s message and wisdom. Jim is irreplaceable on every level. I will miss him beyond words, but am comforted as I know he was, that his message and legacy will live on and positively change millions of lives over the years to come!”
Someone once said “when you are born you enter the world crying while everyone else is rejoicing and when you die hopefully you have lived such a life that everyone will be crying while you are rejoicing”. Jim Rohn lived such a life.
Jim’s family asked us to thank all of you for your concern, prayers and love toward their father and grandfather, which has been so evident during the past 18 months.
Darren Hardy, dedicated student and Jim Rohn protégé for more than 15 years, said of Jim, “He was the most influential man in my life, second only to my father. Jim cemented my philosophical foundation and nourished my mind with ideas and ambitions never before imagined. He chiseled my character seminar by seminar, tape by tape, book by book, then CD by CD, hour by hour. Jim emboldened my belief, in me and in my most daring dreams. When I fell and was bloodied, he was there with encouraging words to help me get back up. When I didn’t think I could go on, Jim convinced me I was stronger than I imagined. When I wanted a shortcut, he reminded me there aren’t any. Even when I got too caught up in trying to achieve and succeed, Jim compelled me to leave room to live, to laugh and to love.”
Stuart Johnson, business associate and long-time admirer, said, “I was first introduced to the philosophies and teachings of Jim Rohn almost 25 years ago. And he made an immediate impression on me. I was amazed by how this modest and unassuming man could communicate such an extraordinarily powerful message in simple and straightforward terms. In person, one-on-one, he was as humble and down-to-earth as he was in front of an audience of thousands. I will treasure my personal memories of Jim and know that I will forever benefit from the wisdom of this remarkable man.”
There will be a private funeral held in the coming days. Plans and details are also being arranged for a Public Memorial Service to be held in the Los Angeles area in the coming weeks. Details will be announced upon final confirmation at the Jim Rohn Tribute Site.
We know Mr. Rohn is looking down on us at this very moment with a smile saying I did it, I gave it my all, I went for it, now it’s your turn. Go for it. Make your life a life worth living well!
View a special tribute to Jim at the Jim Rohn Tribute Site produced earlier this year and debuted at the March 2009 SUCCESS Symposium. You are also encouraged to post your thoughts and remembrances of Jim on the Memorial Wall.
Jim fondly closed his programs with the following sentiments: “I go with you in all the experience that we’ve had. But I promise you this as we leave here: I will not leave you behind. I’ll take you with me in my thoughts and in my heart.”
