IT'S TIME

"You've got to take a look at an exciting new project I'm working on, with a hot little all-natural diet pill that brightens your mood, boosts your energy, and completely slams your appetite! Everyone is having fun, losing weight and making money with this! You will love it. I'm going to drop by today and bring you a few samples. What does your schedule look like? (response) OK - see you at 3pm."


""Bob, how's the economy effecting your business? (response)  Would you be open to diversifying your income?"

"Jane, how are things going with your job? (response) Let me ask you a question off the record.  If there were a business you could start working part time from your home that could later replace your full time income, would it be of interest to you?"

"Marty, I'm curious; just between you and me, have you ever considered starting your own part time business?"  

"Barb, if there were a way you could work from home and make some extra money while the kids are at school, would you be interested?"

Team, you have the "magic" happy skinny pill. It's a gift. You have what everyone wants. We are a very fat (getting fatter), depressed, fatigued, broke nation!  It's time to get serious about Voyager and the V3 product. Get bold. Become bullet-proof. Get out there - face-to-face - and meet with people. Use your power point pages downloaded from our team support site, www.burgessbiz.com, your V3 sample and your passion to build a business from home. Know what you've got. September is Voyager's time to shine. Let the key leadership include you. It's time.

Pig, Chicken - Eagle!

Executive, Eddie Metcalf reminded me of the fable that I heard from a stage 20 years ago about the Chicken and the Pig. The chicken suggests that the two involve themselves in a scheme involving a breakfast of bacon and eggs. In reply, the Pig notes that, for the Chicken, only a contribution is required (eggs), while for the Pig a "total commitment" (sacrifice) is needed for this breakfast to happen.

Of course we relate this fable to our involvement with Network Marketing. Are you a chicken or a pig? Are you fully engaged,  totally committed to growing your Voyager business, or just occasionally contributing a few eggs? Success with Network Marketing takes 3-5 years of total commitment to see your financial dreams come true, and the lifestyle you want to live become a reality. What are you willing to give up to grow your business? How many people a day are you sampling with V3? Are you on every Tuesday night Biz Briefing call, and Saturday Success Strategies call? Have you put your Biz Binder together with 1-31 tickler? Are you working the 4-step system? Are you doing 3-way calls with your upline and team? Are you holding weekly in-home meetings? Are you constantly collecting business cards and adding them to your Prospect 100 list? If yes, then you are totally committed and are a business builder.

There are lots of phrases describing commitment with growing your business. One that I like is, "if you work this business casually, you'll become a casualty." Oh so true. No one starts this business, purchases the 900 Pro Pak with the intention of failing. However, unless you put in the time, you will not see the success you wanted. Simply make the commitment, write your goals, write your Prospect 100 list (chunk it down to ten at a time), and become "bullet proof." Being bullet proof is knowing that no matter how in love you are with the product and opportunity, there are going to be family members who give you grief. That's a given. "How can you soar with the eagles if you are working with the turkeys!" Just seek out the eagles to work with and develop, and ignore the turkeys. They will try to have you doubt what you are involved with. Don't let them. Surround yourself with positive like-minded people. Build a team of winners - not whiners. The ole' "some will, some won't, so what, NEXT!" has to be part of your internal focus and commitment. "Next!" is the most important word for you. Just add (after recruiting a new person), "the next one's even better!" and you'll have it made. To stay positive and pumped (letter P here) ... you HAVE TO stay PLUGGED IN - PARTICIPATING - PROMOTING. Get fully engaged (last post), make the commitment and then take massive action. Step-up and be a leader with Voyager. We need you. You need us. Together, as EAGLES, we can take this opportunity to the moon! (oink)

Fully Engage!

"Begin with the end in mind," as Stephen Covey says in his book, "7 Habits of Highly Effective People." With sampling our home-run all-natural diet pill, V3, the end is to sponsor and grow your business. The end isn't to just sell a bottle of product. That will automatically happen because what's not to love about a simple $2 a day little pill that makes you happy, energized and in control of cravings, bad late night snacking and portion control? We need V3 like yesterday! The sample - the 90-second commercial - the new toll-free recorded Hotline (877) 859-2292 - the testimonials at our team support site www.burgessbiz.com - our weekly Tuesday night 6pm pacific live Biz Briefing calls (213) 289-0500 code 303063# - all scream SUCCESS!!! Just add your personal passion and story, follow-up saying, "touching base to see how much you loved that V3 sample I gave you," and you are good to go. Just don't leave home without at least 5 V3 sample packets in your pocket book or pocket. Be ready to share. But share with the intent of building a business.

I said to Ken this morning after the Success Strategies training call on Sampling with special guest, Nancy Feinberg ... people love this product. In 35+ years of major Network Marketing success with checks at 6 figures a month with more than one company, we've honestly never had such an instant love affair with any product. People feel it and can't be without it. Talk about a win-win here! So, get on board...get fully engaged. That means to plug in with every call and event, participate with sharing your success stories on the calls, promote everything with your team, and double your sampling efforts, sell more product, sponsor more people. Use the tools we have spent hours developing for you. Use your sponsor to help you sponsor new people. Team-up in your areas and build local momentum. Create a frenzy. It's time to get on board and FULLY ENGAGE!!!

What I Want

Me and Beckham Christopher Burgess

I adore Network Marketing. I could never work for anyone else. Here's a fun example (story)...

Once upon a time, an ambitious woman entered a successful store with a reputation for beautiful, fine-quality merchandise. She walked right up to the owner and said, "Sir, I am very impressed with your establishment. I'd like to come on board and build a career here. I can promise you I'll work hard and I'll do a great job. In return, all I ask for is the following:  First, I'd like 20% profit on everything I sell.  And, if I sell more than $4,000 in any given month, I'd like a 5% Bonus. I will expect 2% of every person I hire and if I bring in and train five new sales people, I think I deserve 5% of everything they sell. Now, when I do well, I expect lots of praise and recognition - not to mention products, special awards and gifts - oh yes, and dream vacations to exotic locations!  By the way, I'm afraid I'm not into the 9-to-5 scene, so I'll want to set my own schedule and work when it suits me best. And of course, my family ALWAYS comes first.  Ok, I think that's about it. So when can I start?"

After the store owner recovered from shock, he roared with laughter. "Lady, you can't be serious! You're living in a dream world. You'll never find an opportunity like that - ANYWHERE!"

He was wrong - that woman could have been me (and you). "I found that opportunity as an Associate with Voyager Health Technologies!"

(This is a fun example of how exciting, lucrative and freedom-driven Network Marketing is. Voyager has a far more lucrative pay plan, more benefits, more bells and whistles, etc. This is just a fun story I found. Thanks Robin for sharing it with me.)

Take Advantage of Fall!

Zoey & Kelli Jo Burgess

I love all of the latest social media and internet tools (and gadgets) available to us to keep in touch with our loved ones and friends. With my five children and sixteen grandchildren now living everywhere but California, :-( Facebook, Skype, family blog sites, mobile phone uploads, etc. help to keep us in the loop and in touch. Although it's not the same as my planned "Burgess Boulevard" where all of my five children, four spouses, sixteen grandchildren live on the same block, a weekly Skype call to catch up at least brings a smile to grandma Burgess' face. OK ... enough said.

Brookly & Madison Villa (grandkids)

I saw this photo of son, Chris' oldest girls all decked out with backpacks ready for a month of school before heading to meet their dad in Poland (where Chris is playing pro basketball this year.) This made me think about how quickly the summer months have passed and if you, we have been buried with family events. First, with finally having all of the children together in one location in Utah at the family cabin, and second, at the Burgess family reunion. It was a fun, family-filled summer where cousins met cousins for the first time, memories were made, and tons of pictures were taken. Loved it! Now it's time to buckle down and get serious about building our Voyager businesses. I mean ... serious as in $$$.


Take time today to re-write your goals. But this time simply chunk it down into a three-step plan of action for yourself. Step One is to write down three things that you want to buy or do in the next three months ... September, October, November. These could include hiring a housekeeper, repairing your home (we are redecorating), buying a second car, whatever. These three goals must get you excited and pumped about building your business. You must be able to achieve these goals in three months. Think big - splurge! Step Two is to determine your immediate plan of action. What will you do daily to begin to move forward with these goals? Step Three is to let this all happen for yourself. Don't doubt that you can achieve. (If you believe, you will achieve). Let it happen! If you are doing Steps One and Two, you will achieve the three goals you write down. Take action immediately. Get fully engaged with building your empire with Voyager. Don't hesitate. You have a simple little all-natural diet pill with V3 that can make a huge difference nation-wide. Know it - share it.

Our Family all together in Utah, July 2011

Let fall be your time to shine with Voyager Health Technologies. Sample more people. Follow up with passion. Meet consistently face-to-face with people. Hold in-home meetings. Team-up and blitz the area. Find a buddy to create momentum. With our new C.E.O and president, David Cohen, this opportunity is going to be huge, and you need to be at the top of the heap as a key Voyager leader - making things happen. Take advantage of the fall, make a difference and make money...NOW!

K.I.S.S.

Keeping things simple is KEY to big time success with Network Marketing. Keeping it simple duplicates. The more you know about this business, the more tempted you will be to complicate it. It's not about you, it's about answering two questions the Prospects are asking (in their heads). 1) What's in this for me? 2) Can I do this? If at any time you are complicating and confusing the Prospect, and they can not see themselves doing what you are doing, either part-time or full-time, they will not get involved. "A confused mind says no." 


I created the 4-step system after near 40 years of success with Network Marketing for this very reason. I created the One Minute Message so that people didn't hesitate or stumble when approaching people about the business. I created the little "I'm having fun, losing weight, making money," to start conversations. Simple little tools that will make you rich if you consistently use them and teach them. I put into place the 24/7 recorded hotlines to help you intro the business and validate the product with sampling. These tools are money-makers for you. Simple ... let the tools talk. 


Years ago an empire sized company was born that had a silly large button that read, "lose weight now, ask me how." This simple button built a billion dollar company. Another jungle juice company hit a billion dollars in sales in seven years with another silly simple slogan, "I'm drinking this and making money." You have to keep your approach, your sampling, your selling, your sponsoring SIMPLE. If you don't, guess what? You will fail at this business. So here you go, my fabulous team of Voyager Associates...1) ask "how are you?", 2) say "I'm having fun, losing weight, and making money," 3) deliver your ONE MINUTE MESSAGE (see below), 4) show the 90-second commercial, 5) have them listen to the toll-free Hotline (877) 859-2292 #1 for opportunity, 6) hand them a sample, 7) have them listen to Hotline (877) 859-2292 #2 for product and #3 for testimonials. Then follow-up with using the www.burgessbiz.com support site, and your 3-way call and in-home events.

One Minute Message ... 90-Second Commercial ... Toll-Free Hotlines ... Sample Packet ... Follow-up. Listen to the Basic Training's at www.burgessbiz.com. Keep it so simple that an 8 year old could do it. We have the simplest product in the world. We have the HAPPY SKINNY PILL! We are a fat, depressed, broke nation who desperately needs what we have. Give it to them. Take yourself out of the equation and use and abuse the tools. If you do, you'll make more money than you can spend. We have ROCK 'N ROLL with V3. Share it and K.I.S.S. !!!


"You've got to take a look at an amazing project I'm working on, with a hot little all-natural diet pill that brightens your mood, boosts your energy and completely SLAMS your appetite! Everyone is having fun, losing weight and making money with this. You will love it. Let's do this together!" ... Your One Minute Message xoxo Sandi

TEN TO GET TWO!!!

Say less to more people. Let the tools talk and use that proven 4-step system. It's a numbers game. You are looking for ten great people who catch your vision, roll up their sleeves and build a huge Voyager business with you. And that will take you doing the basics, teaching the basics and using the 4-step system. Don't shortcut the system. Don't reinvent the wheel. Just do to duplicate.

Deliver your One Minute Message: "I want you to take a look at an amazing project I'm working on with a new, hot all-natural diet pill called V3 that does three things. It brightens your mood (so you are happy), boosts your energy, a completely slams the appetite! You will love this - everyone does. People are having fun, losing weight, and making money! We need to do this together. This is huge, and we are going to have a blast!"  Then just use the tools and the 4-step system: 1) hotline, 2) website, 3) 3-way call, 4) event. Repeat where necessary. Keep it fun. Keep it simple. And remember...sponsor ten to get two. Most will just love using the product. Two will get it and build a business. One will be a killer leader for you. Know the numbers. Get serious and go sample, sell, sponsor, support. Don't stop until you've personally sponsored ten great killer leaders. V3 and Voyager's time has come. Everyone is looking for the happy skinny pill, and guess what? You have it. Now share it! (P.S. New toll free hotline just for you, my awesome team!  1-877-859-2292)  xoxo

You are Just Lucky!

"Luck is the by-product of busting your fanny."  ~Don Sutton


Someone in my family actually said to Ken and I when we were making six figures a month, "you just got lucky!" Hmmm...yes and no. I like the quote above because the harder you work, the luckier you get. Yes, we are lucky to know all of you. Yes, we are lucky to have had V3 dropped into our laps. Yes, we are lucky that the V3 product works on over 90% of the people who try it. Yes, we are lucky to have the freedom of being able to work from home. Yes, we are lucky to have a corporate team backing our opportunity with vision for the future. Yes, we are lucky to have a product that addresses more than diet - mood, energy and appetite. And yes, we are lucky to be involved with something we love doing. But luck will only take you so far. If you don't "bust your fanny", as the quote says, your luck will quickly run out.

It's a numbers game. Some will. Some won't. So what. NEXT! It's a sorting game where you look at everyone you are talking to and sampling, then sort them into piles - like laundry. Customers - Associate Consumers - Part-time People - Business Builders - Key Leaders. Four groups that all love the product, but let's be real here (40 years in MLM talking), when you sponsor ten people, 6 will love and consume the product, 2 will be part-timers who sponsor by accident, but will retail lots of V3, and 1 will be a business builder who will turn into a key leader for you. Your goal should be to get ten (10) great business builders. If that takes you five years, that's A-OK! Some of you hustlers will do that faster. Do what, you ask? Sponsor 100 people to get your ten leaders. Know this...one great leader is worth $10,000.00 a month to you. Times that by ten and there you go...six figures a month!

A little advise ... work with those that work. Who is working? Those who are on every Tuesday Biz Briefing call with Prospects, sampling two a day, 3-way calling you every week with new Associates, holding In-Home meetings, are using the 4-step system and are on Saturday morning Success Strategy training's. These are serious people who want what you want and are doing what you are doing. They will succeed, so make it a point to work with them. Keep everyone else in the loop with weekly email blasts, text messaging reminders and touch-base calls once a month. But work with those that work.

The bottom-line. Sample two a day, everyday, talk to more people, write your goals, see yourself successful, then do what you need to do to make that happen.  Good luck!

Design Your Life!

Write it down now.

Find a quiet place right now, and with a notebook and felt tip pen, begin to design your life as you want it to be. See it. Visualize it. Start writing. Write, in detail what you see, using present terms as if you are living that life and lifestyle that you want. Describe where you are living, what your house looks like, what car you are driving, where you are vacationing, who you are with, what physical shape you are in, and how much money you have in savings, in investments, and in your pocket for spending. Describe the hobbies and activities that you are enjoying. Design every detail of the lifestyle you want to live. Do it now. Then when you have finished this, set the notebook on the night stand by your bed, and read it every night before going to sleep. Do this for three years without fail. 

Dream car?

I have read most every book written on Network Marketing, over the years. I've listened and read The Secret 3-4 times, attended Jim Rohn, Tom Hopkins and Tony Robbins seminars, training's and even the firewalk. And I realized today, after reading the book Beach Money, while getting a haircut, that I need to re-design my life, and write down, in detail, new goals and dreams, just as I described it above to you, and just like I did years ago. 

Cabin in the mountains above Park City in Utah.

When we all do this important action assignment, we will achieve everything we write down, but we must write it, visualize it, internalize it, then we will achieve it. 

"If you don't know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else."  ~Lawrence J. Peter


You have been given the gold ticket with Voyager, to live the lifestyle of your dreams. It's now up to you to do whatever it takes to see yourself winning and succeeding here. You can make excuses, or you can make money. It's your choice. It's a numbers game. Sponsor ten and most will love the product and one will be a business builder for you. Sponsor 100 and you'll find 10 good leaders. You see, when you work hard for 3-4 years, then you will hardly work for huge money. That's the magic of this business. But it all starts with sitting down and designing your life. Do it now!

Our beautiful family, July 2011, 5 kids, 4 spouses, 15 grandkids!

Making a Difference

The last few posts I've written have been pin-pointing the personal attributes leaders tend to posses in this business. The last post highlighted Billy Banks of Texas. Every conversation I have with him is positive and moving forward. Earlier I highlighted Shelley Ball of West Virginia who is always excited. When highlighting Scott and Judy Roberts of Michigan, as well as Heidi and Eddie Metcalf of Florida, I focused in on them both being teachable and following the 4-step system, and duplicating with their team. An earlier post had me outlining Elaine Tomrell from Michigan taking initiative when Ken was there on his road trip, keeping him buried with meetings and luncheons - in the home or hotel - taking full advantage of every business building moment.


Success with Network Marketing is a culmination of excitement, positive attitude and action, initiative to make things happen in your area, being teachable and following the outlined 4-step system. In addition to these important things, Regional Director, Nancy Feinberg has what can not be taught in this business. And that is a love for people. Nancy cares about every person she hands a sample to, follow-ups with, and enrolls as an Associate. She takes SAMPLE - SELL - SPONSOR - SUPPORT to a whole other level. She loves what she is doing, and it shows. She loves the people she is working with, and it is felt. She loves to help others, and that's why she has developed so many Executives on her team, and has achieved the Regional Director position. She cares and that's why she is an awesome leader.


Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.  ~Mark Twain

Karen Mora, Annie Arnes, Nancy Feinberg,
Cindy Bray, Elaine Tomrell, Vicky  Tye

I will be teaching you how to approach anyone with this business, giving you scripts that you can work from on tomorrow's Saturday Success Strategies live training call. These scripts will help you in opening doors with this business with everyone you contact. And with these scripts, you will add your own spin, personality and personal V3 success story. I will encourage you to ask lots of questions, listen and make your presentation, using the good ole' Feel, Felt, Found to pinpoint the needs of the individual you are contacting with your Voyager business. And this is all excellent information that you can immediately use to build your business. So now, let's take your business building to the next level and add the "Nancy Factor" and fall in love with what you are doing, love and listen to those you are talking to, and truly care about the people you sponsor. Team-up, meet often, go over the 48-hour Checklist with them, communicate, update and congratulate. Then, and only then, will you truly make a difference.

We're Going Vertical!

Jennifer Miyakubo, David Cohen, Eltha and Billy Banks, July 13, 2011

"Attitudes are contagious. Are yours worth catching?"  ~Dennis and Wendy Mannering


"Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference."   ~Winston Churchill


"I had the blues because I had no shoes until upon the street, I met a man who had no feet."  ~Ancient Persian Saying


"We're going vertical!"  ~Billy Banks




There's no one on earth more positive about life and this business than Executive, Billy Banks of Texas. Everyone that meets him loves him. His philosophy is to simply get rid of the "stinkin' thinkin'" (Zig Ziglar), and go vertical. He is a joy to be around, talk to and work with. And his enthusiasm for this business is why he is exploding and is one of our top leaders. He is magnetic and let's nothing get him down. It's time for everyone who is serious about making money with this business to let a little "Billy" rub off on them, recognize what you've got your hands on with Voyager, this product, and your positioning at the top. Then just go vertical. 


Going vertical means being on every Tuesday and Saturday call. Reading the blogs and listening to the trainings at www.burgessbiz.com. It means doing the 3-way calls with your team and upline leader. It means sampling everyday new people, sponsoring every week new team members, and communicating, congratulating, motivating your team. Going vertical means to share your belief with everyone you know, writing your goals and "why" down, reading and reviewing them, and continually adding to your Prospect 200 list. 

Robert H. Schuller
It takes but one positive thought when given a chance to survive and thrive to overpower an entire army of negative thoughts.


If you find yourself getting down and negative, take a walk, listen to a weekly call (or archived at www.burgessbiz.com), then call your upline leader and get pumped back up and positive again. Best way to motivate yourself? Sponsor someone new. Their energy will ignite yours! You have a gift here that needs to be shared. We have a product that is magic and is changing lives everywhere. Say less to more people. Sample  more people. 3-way people into the calls with you. Don't work alone. Buddy-up and run fast. With this awesome new management team, headed up by CEO and president, David Cohen, we haven't even started yet. The best is yet to come. Time to join Billy and "go vertical!" 

Tell Your Story

"Not only is your story worth telling, but it can be told in words so painstakingly eloquent that it becomes a song."  - Gloria Naylor

Our newest #16 grandbaby (my "why")
Beckham Christopher Burgess 8/28/11

What a great way to describe telling your story, comparing it to a song is music to the ears (and heart strings). And we all have a unique story to tell about our experience with V3 and the Voyager business, locked in with our personal "why" we do this. So it's important to know how to tell your story to effectively build your Voyager business. Your passion for the product and business must be transferred through you to the person you are sharing Voyager with. That's where great story telling comes in. They must feel as you feel. They must relate to you, trust you, and know that Voyager is something that they want and can do. Your story starts them believing.

Before and after pictures always tell a great story. What's that saying? A picture's worth a thousand words? And showing your before and after pictures is what you should be doing during your presentations. In fact, make sure they are in the front of your Biz Binder in clear plastic pages, along with other stories you have collected. But before showing the pictures, nail down your story. First, write down "why" you are doing this business. Now jot down how you felt before taking V3. Take into account the three major formula factors - mood, energy and appetite. Jot down things that you have noticed, like focus, cravings, bad snacking habits, movement, inch loss, weight loss, blood pressure, blood sugar, headaches, etc. These are common things that are effected in a very positive way with V3. Pin point what stands out for you. Jot them down and start writing your story. Start with being skeptical. 

"My name is Sandi, and I live in Southern California. I'm a mother of five and grandmother of sixteen, an operatically trained singer and music teacher, and I love Network Marketing. I've always worked from home because my priority is family. This business has given me the freedom to do all of the things I love doing - raising children, being involved with music, community and church. And after my sixth baby was born I became a type 2 diabetic and have struggled (actually yo-yo'd) with dieting. Before V3 I felt out of control with my portion sizes and late night snacking, was tired and grumpy most of the time, and just couldn't get a handle on my weight. I even considered surgical alternatives to control my appetite. V3 came to me at the perfect time. We were looking for another Networking business, and I, personally, was looking for this little magic pill. I felt V3's magic work within 30 minutes. I was finally happy, motivated, focused, energized, and my blood sugar normalized. I couldn't believe this one little pill could do everything it did for me. The biggest shock was how it totally slammed my appetite. My cravings were totally gone and my late night snacking was no longer a challenge. I lost 12 pounds within 2 weeks, went down a size, and I immediately started calling everyone I knew about V3 and Voyager. I knew V3 and Voyager was the golden ticket we had been praying to find, and sharing it with my Networking friends has been the easiest thing I've ever done, and I'm having fun! After only a few months with Voyager, we are making more money than we did after a few years in our biggest Networking company. It's been amazing, and everyone we share it with immediately loves the V3, has results and wants to share it with people they know. We are excited!

Your story is your special gift to share with others. Your name, occupation, how you felt before V3, what you were looking for, how V3 and Voyager has changed your life and lifestyle. Share from your heart. Share your "why". When sharing your story on a conference call or in front of the room at a meeting, keep it to 30-45 seconds. Don't wander, or brag. No one cares that you received your masters in psychology from U of "who cares". They want to know 1) what's in this for me, and 2) can I do this? You answer those questions in the way you tell your story and present the opportunity. If you would like help telling your story, just write it down and email me. I will tweak it for you and together, we will nail it down!

SAMPLE, SELL, SPONSOR, SUPPORT

Shedrick Simms has lost 70 pounds on V3!

SAMPLE - SELL - SPONSOR - SUPPORT. It's really that easy when you have a hot, new diet pill to share. One that everyone wants and needs - yesterday. They just don't know about it. That's your job. To sample - sell - sponsor - support everyone you know, run into, meet and are referred to. "Who do you know who would love to try this happy skinny pill?"  
"Who do you know who could use a little extra money?"  


Network Marketing has never been simpler than it is right now with Voyager and the V3 diet pill. There's been an eight year void in the market place since the last hot diet pill that worked was available to you and me.
Eight year void where people have been getting fatter, feeling more out of control, and falling into depression. Obesity is on the rise. Depression is rampant. People are tired and fatigued. And, with all of the diets out there you'd think we'd be getting thinner, right? Nope. We are getting fatter, feeling more deprived and starving (and very grumpy) every time we attempt to try yet another diet!


V3 to the rescue! V3 is hope in a bottle. Hope with feeling happier, more focused, energized, in control of your eating, snacking, portion sizes, and you'll flat-out lose weight. What can possibly be better than that? When you feel happy, you'll make better lifestyle choices. When you have energy, you'll move more - even exercise. When your appetite is slammed, you'll eat less and make better food choices. V3 is a win-win for you and everyone around you. "Eat Less...Move More" is finally possible with V3 as your secret weapon with weight loss and appetite control!

So, get out there and Sample - Sell - Sponsor - Support. (Or ask for a sample!) There is a place for everyone in this business - wholesale consumer, part-time business builder, and for the career-minded individuals who catch the vision of how huge this Voyager opportunity is with V3, you will roll up your sleeves and run fast and hard, and realize your financial dreams!


It's a simple business when you have V3. You sample, then sell a bottle, then sponsor everyone into the business. Then have them immediately plug right into www.burgessbiz.com - the team support site.  That's - Sample - Sell - Sponsor - Support! Note: At www.burgessbiz.com your new team members will find trainings, handouts, flyers, guidelines to help get their business rockin' - fast! So what's holding you back? As Nike's slogan says, "just do it!"

Chris Ball has lost 28 pounds and will never be without V3!

Don't keep V3 a secret. Don't be stingy with it - keeping it all to yourself. You have what everyone wants and needs. So give it to them!

TEAM-UP!

Billy Banks, Eddie Metcalf, Jeff Bourgeois & Butch Lafargue

When I start building my business, I like to sponsor from coast to coast great people. But, I've also been in this business near 40 years, have worked with lots of incredible individuals, and have a pretty good database to draw from as I begin the sponsoring process. However, I started right where you are, and I remember very clearly what I did in those start-up days to build my business. First, I always look for leaders who I know will step-up and make things happen in their individual areas with or without me living there. Second, I look for goal-oriented, self-motivated individuals who need me for those important ongoing 3-way calls, but they can pretty much make things happen on their own. I tell them from the get-go to immediately find a business buddy.

With mentoring and training them, I always encourage my personally sponsored people to buddy-up with someone in the area that has the same excitement and passion that they have for the business, then team-up and run fast together. Do everything together. Sizzle and strategize daily, and keep each other motivated and moving forward with building the business. I tell them to hold each other accountable for all daily income generating activity. Meet weekly and figure out creative ways to best grow your area and groups. Team-up with holding 2-on-1 appointments, in-home meetings, expo's and shows, and cold calling.

Teaming-up makes independent business building a lot more exciting, easy and fun! You will empower each other, and create area momentum. When one is a little down, the other is up. Celebrate together. Recognize your teams together. Hold Biz Brunches together. Write your goals together. Make your Prospect 100 lists together. Organize your Biz Binders together. Compete with each other and challenge each other. Together you will keep each other on track with personal and group goals. 


This teaming up very important with growing your business long term. And this is the first thing you must do if you are serious about building your business. If you are working alone, you just won't see the success or the growth you want to achieve in this business. Buddy-up, team up, and build and think big. Plan, sample, sponsor, meet people face-to-face, party ... together. That's the key, guys. A basketball game was never won by an individual. It takes a team. So, get out there and find someone to run with, then team up and make big things happen!

DON'T RE-INVENT THE WHEEL!

"Do to Duplicate!" has always been my motto with Network Marketing. I have never taught what I haven't done. And I, over the near 40 year span of building a business from home in this wonderful industry, have tried many things to grow the business. Some things did not work, and I learned from those stumbles. But the principles and systems I teach my team DO work, and if followed, you WILL see success. I do to duplicate, and so should you. Don't re-invent the wheel.


Every speaker that has seen success with Network Marketing will tell you to keep things simple (KISS), say less to more people, write down your goals, determine your "why", start writing your Prospect 200 list using your Memory Jogger, stay plugged in to what's going on, be teachable, and follow the leaders who are seeing success. There are basics of business building that flat-out work. Over the years I have streamlined, simplified and created tools to short-cut your learning curve with this business so that you can talk to people more effectively, present the business better, follow-up with focus, and make money faster. That's why I created www.burgessbiz.com. It's for our independent Associates to get up to speed quicker, see success faster, and duplicate with confidence. 

Eddie and Heidi Metcalf

This mornings SUCCESS STRATEGIES training call made my heart sing. Why? Because two of Voyagers fastest growing leaders were featured and they shared their biz building strategies with the listening team. They shared the importance of using the 4-step system, the tools, the www.burgessbiz.com support site, the Tuesday Biz Briefing calls, the two recorded Hotline messages, etc. It was music to my ears! (more operatic references :-) Because they are duplicating the system, teaching their team to duplicate the system, and not trying to re-invent the wheel, they are exploding their business and breaking Executives faster than any other team right now. It is exciting seeing them in action! The Metcalf's are busy, successful individuals who love the product, caught the magnitude of this business in Las Vegas after meeting the new corporate team, headed up by C.E.O. and president, David Cohen, and had a complete business paradigm shift which has them setting the pace for all of you to follow. 

Lafargue, Metcalf, Banks, Griffin, Bourgeois Team!

Ken and I feel blessed to have them on our team. (Note: they had three Executive teams at the Leadership Summit fly-in!) If you are serious about this business and making money, do as Eddie and Heidi Metcalf and team are doing, and follow the system outlined at www.burgessbiz.com and please ... don't re-invent the wheel. xo

Take the Products to the People!

Scott & Judy Roberts & MI Team with 152 Pounds Lost!

Holding home meetings is key to building a strong Network Marketing business for yourself. Gathering people together in a meeting does two things: re-sells the dream to the existing team, and sells the dream to new people. It's in these small intimate gatherings that dream building is done. People feel comfortable entering a home to learn about a business that they can actually work from home. Holding meetings in the home creates a warm and welcoming environment for friends and family to gather together and learn about the product and business opportunity. 

Sherry Holmen and Barry Deuschle

Many people will come to your home event as a favor to you, and will come more willingly if you ask them to bring an assigned item like chairs, ice, a snack, or bottled water, and of course a friend (if you remind them to do so.) The "do-me-a-favor" approach with inviting warm market contacts always works if you remind them a minimum of three times by phone, twice by email and once by text messaging. Somehow people conveniently forget, so your last reminder (being a text) should read something like this, "I can't wait to see you tonight at my Voyager Soirée!  Remember to bring the ice, and a couple of friends"


For decades, Network Marketing and Direct Selling companies have always seen big time success when the field leadership consistently holds weekly home meetings, PBR's and parties. These home meetings feed into the monthly area hotel meeting, where the opportunity is validated in a bigger way. And the more home meetings are taking place in a given area, the faster momentum will happen for that area. It's important to note, in reference to home meetings, that Mary Kay outsells most department store cosmetics. Tupperware outsells Rubbermaid that is found in every grocery and pharmacy store in the US! Why? Because of TRUST. Your friends and family trust you, and are more likely to take a look at what you are doing, and will want to try your product.


We are all educators in this wonderful world of Network Marketing. We educate people on products and programs that they didn't know existed. The person needing your diet isn't usually found in the health food store asking questions about a good diet product and program. But they will come to a home meeting, and after hearing the weight loss stories, will want to try your product for themselves, and possibility get involved with you in the business.  I've always said that this business is all about taking the products to the people. And the most effective way to do this is with the home meeting. It's a safe place to ask questions, talk to the other attendees and speakers, pick up a sample, a bottle, and hear about the possibilities of hope, health and wealth.

As your home meetings grow, and know that they may start small, you should document how many pounds have been lost in the room (see the above picture in Michigan). Have your guests sign in, get a name tag, and write down their pounds lost on V3. This is so easy to do, is fun, and it will amaze you how quickly those 5-10-15+ pounds add up!  Have fun, meet often (same time, same place) and take the products to the people. They are looking for V3!

Hope Vs Hype

I've blogged a lot lately about recognizing opportunity. it's a subject that is near and dear to my heart, as they say. When you've established yourself as a network marketer you tend to get asked to start companies, are sent boat loads of products to try free, and offered various "deals" as enticements to get involved. 

Lately both Ken and I have noticed a bad trend with struggling networking companies that have been limping along for 6-8 years, then decide to hustle in "hitters", guarantee them monthly money for six months to bring on board their teams from the companies they are currently involved with. They, of course, jump in (temporarily) to get their hands on that monthly guarantee, but as soon as that six months is up they are out shopping for the next deal to jump in on and cut the next six month guarantee of cash. This scenario is sad, to say the least. Those hurt are the volunteer army in the trenches - those wonderful distributors who weren't cut the deal-of-the-day.

What we have here with Voyager Health Technologies is the real opportunity with a solid new corporate team, an amazing product with V3 that works, and a comp plan that has been paying. The tweaks to the plan being made are enhancements to assure everyone be paid for those they sponsor, namely those first four that have been rolling up. These wonderful enhancements will bolster your opportunity and business building efforts. For those of you incredible Associates who have recognized the Voyager opportunity as the next legendary company, run fast and run hard. You are at the top - the beginning. And YOU are your guarantee for big time success. The harder you work, the more money you'll make. The more leaders you create, the closer you get to those six figure monthly checks. Voyager is here for the long term. And we are only 170 days old with official launch in Vegas on July 12 and 13th. Those who attended the launch know how incredible this opportunity is, and also know it is up to them to make it happen. With Voyager you have HOPE vs HYPE. Thank you for recognizing true opportunity.
