LOOK THE BOSS IN THE MIRROR

Look in the mirror and say out loud, "I am a professional Network Marketer.  I teach people how to successfully build a business from home.  I create leaders. The company I have chosen to represent has a hot, new diet pill that brightens your mood, boosts your energy, and completely slams your appetite!  It is awesome, and so easy.  I simply show a 90-second commercial, 3-way into a hotline 2 minute message at (949) 266-5837, give a sample of V3, and follow a simple 4-step system that includes a team support site at www.burgessbiz.com.  It's really that easy.Timing couldn't get any more perfect.  And timing is everything."

Know who you are as a professional Network Marketer.  Own it, and love what you do.  Stand proud.  Know that more millionaires come from this amazing Network Marketing business than from anywhere else.  You are not a salesman.  You are a professional networker - a Success Coach.  The benefits to you in this business are off the chart!  You work from home, when you want, and with whom you choose.  You can literally write your own paycheck.  The more people you share your business with and sponsor onto your team, the more money you'll make.  You develop leaders.  You empower people.  You are the master of your own destiny, and you have no limits.  You look the boss in the mirror every morning, and you have the ultimate freedoms attached to this business.  There are no time clocks to punch.  No traffic to fight to get to work, and nobody to answer to.  You are living the American Dream.  And no one can stop you from succeeding and living life to the fullest!.

Go for it!  You've chosen the right vehicle with Voyager Health Technologies.  Time is on your side.  There's been a huge void in the diet pill market for near 8 years.  You have the perfect product to fill that void. A void that produced over $2 billion a year!  You have the opportunity to own a piece of that market.  Obesity is out of control in this country going from 16% obese in 2009 to over 37% obese in 2010!  The economy has hurt people you know, love and care about.  You now have a chance to make a difference.  You can share this business with everyone you know.  They, too, can look the boss in the mirror every morning.

Sharing the Dream!

That's what we're talking about (all month with the Saturday Success Strategy trainings at 7am PST)!  Pictured (above) are Robert Gutman and Gretchen Connor-Gutman sharing the dream, building the team and literally taking the products to the people.  I love it, and I love their new table cloth!  Very snazzy guys :-)  V3 can pack up and go anywhere.  The home meetings for you and your team, Pill Parties, salon waiting areas, libraries, senior centers, YMCA rooms, coffee shops, fitness club demo's, condominium or planned community club houses, backyard get-together's, block parties , Biz Barbeque's, --- or, as pictured, a school Health Fair!  It's a "have product will travel" business.  Take the products to the people and share the dream!

Know this deep within your soul.  Everyone needs what you have with Voyager Health Technologies.  Everyone.  Your job?  Give them what they want.  Give them hope and possibility, starting with V3.  Take the products to the people.  Get eyeball to eyeball with everyone on the planet - starting with those that live locally in your backyard.  Launch yourself with an official Launch Party!  Do this with your sponsor.  Do this for six weeks and see how things start to happen around you.  Re-launch often to keep your business exciting, festive, fresh and fun!  Create momentum by personally finding new people every month to sponsor.

These are the facts.  The people who need what you have - especially the V3 for mood, energy and appetite -  aren't always the people going to the gym and spa everyday working out.  They are often found sitting at home, watching the Food Network or Cooking channel, feeling a bit out of control, depressed, and maybe a little hopeless.  (That sounds like me before V3.)  And if a kind, friendly neighbor or family member hosts a home meeting or Pill Party, and invites them to attend, guess what?  They will go, maybe in their worn out sweat pants, as a favor to that friend or family member.  And that's awesome!  There they will learn about V3 and Voyager Health Technologies.  They probably didn't even know such a phenomenal product was even available to them!  (We're still the world's best kept diet secret.) They hear the success stories.  They listen to the Blitz Call as it is speaker-phoned into the party or meeting.  (Blitz nightly calls start May 2, 2011!)  They get excited.  They buy the product, lose weight and start sharing their excitement with their friends and family.  This happens organically at first - but then "intentionally" as they transform into an excited business builder for your team.  That's where it starts.  And that is when the fun begins!

Can you tell that I'm excited about taking the products to the people?  Well, make sure to hop on with every Saturday morning training call - called Success Strategies at 7am PST (yikes) by calling (213) 289-0500 code 303063#.  These calls explore meetings from all angles - in all forms and venues.  I teach you how to invite, what to say, how to effectively create the magic that meetings can bring to your business.  Whether it's a face-to-face appointment, a small intimate in-home, Open House or large group meeting, the outline is the same, and I teach you to grow your meetings by taking the product to the people.  Learn to earn with meetings.  Catch the vision and take the products to the people ...literally!  They want what you have.  Give it to them today.  Share the Dream.  Build the Team.  Love it ... Share it!

Take the Product to the People!

With a dynamite diet pill product like V3, your only job is to take the product to the people. People desperately want and need what you have, but just don't know about it. Get out there and share it at In-Home meetings, face-to-face appointments, trade shows and Pill Parties.

Here's a great picture of our newest Executive, Sherry Holmen and her friend, Barry Deuschle early on taking the product to the people at a local trade show. This happened before we had a professionally produced 90-Second Commercial, or all of the fancy Expo and meeting display items pictured in our latest Associate Bulletin. (To see bulletin CLICK HERE.) They just got out there and took the product to the people, had fun, and started building their business. Rumor has it that Sherry and Barry love Pill Parties, and just did a Skype meeting with Ken Burgess. That's how it's done. Congratulations to both Sherry and Marty Weeks, our newest Executive team, and Barry for his 20+ pound weight loss!

These face-to-face appointments, In-Home meetings, Pill Parties, and PBR's feed into and create the larger meetings held in hotels and convention halls. It's where it all starts. Network Marketing has always been built from intimate in-home-type gatherings. The cottage industry ushered in a slew of home parties, home gatherings where people feel comfortable and most often attend as a favor to a friend down the street, or family member. And they find themselves purchasing items that they normally may have not been aware of.

Ask yourself these questions. Why does Tupperware outsell Rubbermaid that is found in every grocery store? And why does Mary Kay outsell most department store cosmetics? It's the In-Home meetings. It's that personal attention given, the heart-felt stories told, and the feeling of trust they feel when they attend. The synergy of the group ignites energy, and snowballs into an area creating momentum. And that's where it gets exciting!

Start small with the help of your sponsor. Let them co-host with you at your first few In-Home meetings. Use the incredible 90-Second Commercial, Skype or speaker phone if your sponsor does not live close to you. Watch and learn from your sponsor to do these on your own. Practice on your friends and family first. Just keep them short - no longer than 1 hour. Keep them fast-paced. And keep them fun. Creating momentum and realizing your dream starts right there in your living room. Remember, your success is our success. So use your sponsor, your upline, the tools, and the 4-Step System. Taking the product to the people has never been so simple and fun!

WHEN IN DOUBT ... DIET!

"When in Doubt...Diet!"

I really don't remember where I heard that phrase, or if I just made it up, but I love it, because over the past 40 years of Network Marketing involvement, we have always seen our biggest monthly bonus checks come when we had a simple diet as the lead product to share and sponsor with. Nothing complicated or hard to explain. Just a simple product that people felt, saw fast results, and lost weight. Simple was and is always key.

We've played a bit with the "jungle juices", and actually had pretty good results, whether the juice was touting the benefits of one superfruit, or a combination of all known superfruits, and we may still drink the juices. But building a huge business just wasn't giving us the financial results we had always seen with a simple, hot diet product. When a diet works, it has sizzle! And our teams of distributors make money. That's the bottom line for us. Our people make money, lose weight and have fun.

Keeping it fun and simple at the grassroots is what this business is should be about. A homemaker has to be able to share quickly what it is she has to offer from the back of her minivan while she's watching her kids play baseball. It has to almost be a "smile - sample - sponsor" product. In fact, the distributor's weight loss itself is a natural (organic) "billboard" for anyone involved with the diet business. The phrase, "I'm losing weight, having fun & making money!" keeps it simple.

What we've got here is a serious situation with obesity running rampant in this country, and at the same time with our new Voyager V3 diet pill, we have the opportunity to be a simple solution to an out-of-control problem. Diets are everywhere you look, but people need more than just a diet plan or program to follow. They need a tool that helps them handle the three most common saboteurs with dieting - mood, energy and appetite. When you feel happy, have energy, and have no desire to eat, guest what? You lose weight! You even start moving more and eating less. And that is the perfect scenario for all us.

So, have fun, lose weight, and make money - but at the same time, share what you've got ... seriously. Work hard. Work focused. Talk to everyone. Tune in and listen to the testimonials. Share what you hear. Write your goals. Follow the 4-Step System. Work the plan. Know that you can make a huge difference in this country - eventually the world with this incredible business - product and opportunity. We're all about hope and possibility, and that in itself is a HOME RUN!!!

JUST DO IT!

I have always loved this logo from Nike - JUST DO IT. Enough said, right? I sponsored a great couple this morning that were a pleasure to talk to. They made my week! Positive, excited, action people get you pumped. I sent them a box of samples last week, had assigned them to check out www.burgessbiz.com, to hop on the Thursday 18 Min Biz Briefing call, listen in Saturday morning to the Success Strategies training, and listen to the four Basic trainings at the team support site.

I received a text yesterday confirming the time they were available and ready today to talk the biz, and right on the dot, with their scheduled time, they called. It was awesome! They had decided to do the biz at full speed. They weren't going to give it a try, they had decided to go for it. The key was that they did DECIDE and were just doing it. They had already listened to the four Basic trainings 2 x's, were on the Thursday and Saturday morning calls, had their Biz Binder put together, 37 people's names written on their Prospect 100 list, had watched the webinar a couple of times, and had already started contacting people. Their decision to succeed and JUST DO IT will guarantee them huge success with Voyager.

See, guys, the first thing everyone must do if they are serious about making money with Voyager is to DECIDE that they are going to do the business, then get busy and JUST DO IT. There was no "well, we'll see if it works," or "I'll ask a few people to see if there is an interest." Are you kidding? You have to DECIDE that you are going to do the business - plain and simple. That decision means doing what it takes to succeed, plugging right in and then building the business. But you have to DECIDE. You will never succeed if you don't DECIDE that it is what you are going to do.

When you DECIDE, you are on every Thursday 18 Min Biz Briefing call. You have listened to the four Basic trainings. You have put your Biz Binder together, and have started writing your Prospect 100 list. You are working the 4-Step System and you are calling your sponsor everyday to do 3-way calls. You are making things happen. You are sampling two people a day and following up. You are showing your 90-second commercial. You are focused on your goals and following the leader, duplicating what has been laid out for you to do. You JUST DO IT.

When you DECIDE, then it's easy to take action and JUST DO IT. But you must DECIDE. Those who DECIDE always succeed. Those who don't DECIDE, don't. Make the decision and DECIDE that you are going to blast this business and build a huge team! DECIDE then JUST DO IT. It's really that simple.

THE DIAMOND RINGS

The last time that I actually worked for someone else in a J-O-B official setting, was when I was pregnant with my first baby, Ben. Let's see, that was over thirty years ago. I was making some great money at the time selling beautiful jewelry in Provo, Utah, mostly wedding ring sets to the newly engaged students at BYU at Bullock and Losee Jewelers. And, I am very grateful for that experience. I learned a lot. The owner gave me a few selling skills that I have used ever since working there. She was a pro.

I used to watch her chase down a potentially lost customer (one of her sales people didn't close the deal), running down the street in her long flowing dresses, and close that same customer on an engagement ring. Pretty impressive. She simply knew in her mind, that what she had was the best quality at the best price. And she was the master teacher with showing you how to cater the presentation to the individual needs and budget of the client. It was a beautiful thing to watch. And she never lost a sale. She would actually watch all of us from her windows above in a loft-type area, to make sure we were closing those diamond ring sales. If it looked like any of her sales people were struggling with closing the sale, we were paged over the loud speaker, and over the inner office phone, we were asked questions like, "did you ask what price range they want to stay with? Did you show them the loose stones etc.?" Yep, that's where I learned the importance of asking questions, listening and giving the customer exactly what they needed and wanted.

So how does that apply here with being business builders with Voyager Health Technologies? We must learn to do the same thing with our Prospects and Associates. We don't "sell" anything. We ask questions. We listen. We care and cater our presentations to the needs of our Prospects. They are buying US more than anything else. Because we care and listen, their responses will guide us with how we present our business opportunity to them.

The ole' Amway F-O-R-M comes in to play here with asking about their Family, their Occupation, what they do for fun - Recreation. And when we see a need, we fill it with our Message of hope and possibility, which is really what this business is about. F-O-R-M let's us get to know our Prospects with listening to what they are saying. We do start the recruiting process out with giving our little fun blurb (when asked what we've been up to) - "I'm having fun, losing weight and making money." And of course, we deliver our One Minute Message, "I've got an exciting project that I want you to take a look at. I've got an amazing little pill that brightens the mood, boosts your energy and totally slams the appetite! You need to do this with me. People are losing weight and making money with this. It's hot!" And, quite frankly...it is. And we definitely show that fabulous 90-Second Commercial. But, after we schedule a time to do a face-to-face presentation with them, our listening ears are turned on - full volume.

We have the best opportunity on the planet. No question. Talk about optimum timing. We have a diet pill that fills a huge void - a $2 billion a year void in the market place! And that is mammoth! Besides the void, there is a huge need for our product and our opportunity. People are overweight, depressed and broke. We have a way to help solve that problem. And it's our blessing to be part of the solution. In there lies our responsibility to listen, and to ask questions. It's our blessing to care and cater our business to their needs. When we do that, we make a difference. And making a difference is really what this is all about. Grab the chance to do that with as many people as you can. Use the tools. Use the 4-Step System. Listen to the calls and hear how this product is working in the lives of people from all over the country. Listening will change the way you present the gift you've been given. Love it. Love your people. Love what you do. Love life and LISTEN.

If I Had Only Known...!!!

If I had only known how valuable this original Barbie doll was when I received it in 1959 for Christmas, I wouldn't have washed it's hair! If I had only known that it currently eBay's to collectors for over $1,500.00, I would have had my mom purchase 100 of these dolls, made sure that they were never taken out of their boxes, wrapped those boxed dolls (wearing gloves) with clear plastic wrap or tissue paper, then stored them in a closet where no sunlight could effect their value. If I had only known what they would be worth today - 52 years later! Let's see ... $150,000.00 - give or take the deducted $3 each doll would cost at the time! If I had only known.

If my husband had only known how valuable his original Mickey Mantel rookie baseball card would be today when he received it from his dad (1951 card), he wouldn't have put it in the spokes of his Schwinn bicycle to create that obnoxious, motor-like clicking sound it made when he cruised around his Alpine, Utah neighborhood when he was a kid. At the time, he thought it was cool. If he had only known.

I thought of that Barbie doll, and that baseball card while having a conversation with a gal I was trying to convince and sponsor in Florida last week. I said it a little differently, trying to get her to catch the vision of our business, but the meaning of what I was trying to say was just as strong. I said with conviction, "If you knew what I know about where Voyager is headed, you wouldn't hesitate getting involved. In fact, you'd jump on board fast, talk to everyone you know, and build a strong team. It is the next legendary company, and you have the chance of a lifetime to be at the top. You are hearing about it first! You have the opportunity to change your life and your lifestyle. This is a gift that will make a huge difference in the lives of thousands of people!" If she only knew what she was missing out on here.

Many people will miss the boat (or train :-) with this blessed business. They won't have your vision. They even may be wishing for a miracle, but will pass on your opportunity for some unknown reason. However, the few people who do catch the vision of where we are going with this business, will see their lifestyle's change in a monumental way. And those they involve with them on their teams, will see the same success. The others that pass on this opportunity will say in 5 - 10 years, "if I had only known."

"When in doubt ... diet." This is our home-based business slogan. Let's look at what we've got. Hot diet product that is filling an 8 year void in the marketplace. A $2 billion a year void. That's huge! Timing couldn't be better here. Add to that an experienced corporate team that knows how to create magic in marketing, and a unique compensation plan that is paying large bonus checks right out the gate to people just like you and me! What's not to love here?

Don't be that person who says, "if I had only known." Be the person who catches the vision, recognizes the power of the opportunity, and runs fast and strong, creating a team that duplicates that action. Turn the phrase, "if I had only known," into "I know, and nothing can stop me!" Make the commitment to go the distance with this. Go for it in a big way. Create momentum. Build your team. Stay plugged in, and take the voyage of your life!
