Kicking it off!

I'm writing this on our balcony looking over the Atlantic -- what an incredible place. Our first full day in Puerto Rico was jam-packed. We got up this morning, grabbed a quick bite to eat, headed down to La Marina Village and took a tender over to Palamino Island. It's owned by El Conquistador and features tons of activities. We spent the day jet-skiiing, snorkeling, sitting on the beach with friends and grabbing a bite to eat in the cafe' before heading back.

This is a small island off the coast of Palomino Island. Great for sunbathing and snorkeling...


Tonight was actually the official start to the Liberty Conference; as usual, the red carpet was rolled out in a dramatic way: local entertainment, great food, and some recognition of the company's leaders. Tomorrow is our first general session which will run from 10-12 and then from 1:15-2:30 or so. I understand that best-selling author Michael Losier is back with us discussing his book The Law of Attraction. It's going to be a great day...

There's nothing like a Liberty conference...

Just arrived in Puerto Rico...

Ah, it's that time again: time for a Liberty Conference!

If you remember reading the post "What's The Product REALLY like", you know that two of Liberty League's products are actually live events....only the Beyond Freedom product is a home-study course. The other two are the Liberty Conference (a 3-day event) and the Summit Conference (a 5-day event).

Right now it's about 7:13p on Sunday, June 26th. We landed in San Juan, Puerto Rico a few hours ago and made our way to the beautiful El Conquistador Resort and Open Door Spa. It truly is a magnificent place. We got checked in through Liberty League's VIP check-in (standard operating procedure for all LLI events) and spent the afternoon exploring the resort, doing some shopping, etc. We finally wound up in one of the three magnificent pools and met up with some LLI folks that we haven't seen since Dallas...plus had the pleasure of meeting some new friends as well.

Here's a couple of pics. Enjoy and stay tuned for more news from the Caribbean!

More prospects than time!

Did you know I've never asked anyone to join Liberty League International? It's true. I've never made a list of family and friends. I've never struck up a conversation with a stranger and told them that I have a way to help them earn six-figures. I've never put flyers on windshields advertising our business. I've never even given anyone in my town a business card.

And yet I have more prospects than I have time to call back. In fact, if you've ever tried to reach me after a weekend, you know that my voicemail is usually full on Mondays. That's how many people are asking for information.

You see, we don't spend our time LOOKING for people. Liberty League International has a proven system in place that will allow you to spend your time on income-producing activities....not running around town trying to find someone who's interested in making money. And if you follow the system, you really can have dozens, even hundreds of people requesting information on your Liberty League business every week.

This puts you in a very different situation than most home-based marketers who only have a short list of friends and aunts and uncles. You won't believe the difference in your mindset when you call someone who's ASKED you for information on how to earn $1,000 per day.....and knowing that you've got dozens of other people waiting to hear from you as well.

Want to find out more? Attend one of our live guest presentations and you'll hear more about our remarkable 3-step system. It's real!

What's the support REALLY like?

Leaving a company where you've earned six-figures is not something to take lightly.

When we looked at Liberty League, one of the big questions we had was: what is the company support like? Well, actually, my question was a little more like this: "Hey, I know that Liberty League is like most direct sales companies where most of the training and support is distributor-provided. So, how much extra training and support will I have to offer my team in order to make this thing work?"

My sponsor was confused. "Huh? You won't be doing ANY. It's all done for you by the company."

"Oh, come on," I said. "You mean that the company is actually providing all the support structure? If they are, it'll be the first time I've ever seen a company do it. Nearly every direct sales/MLM company I've ever been involved in had sub-standard training and support that I was required to implement my own system in order to get my team into profit. And you're saying Liberty League is doing it all corporately? This I gotta see...."

So, here's what I did. I left everything I knew about prospecting and recruiting at the door. I committed to ONLY following the same system that the company teaches. I modeled my activities after what my enroller was doing.

And I was amazed.

In the 90 days that I've been involved in Liberty League, I've not had to do any instruction. Any role-playing with my new associates. No script-training. No teaching how to prospect. No teaching how to follow-up. No teaching how to set appointments.

The company hosts a total of 29 live guest presentations each week that are completely interactive. So, all of my presentations are done for me. I don't explain anything to anyone. No more one-on-one presentations in coffee shops.

The company also provides a total of 13 live and interactive training calls for Associates. Everything is covered from "get started training" to "black belt marketing". It's all there in a nuts-and-bolts format with nothing held back.

Additionally, the company website provides all the prospect tracking, autoresponders, follow-up, presentation invites, etc.

It's all being done for me.

The result? I've got a higher percentage of people earning money in my organization than I've had in any other business. And I managed to receive a Rising Star Award for being a top producer in Liberty League International even though I'd only been with the company for 90 days. (See photo)



Bottom line: The system works. The training works. And the only people who don't succeed here are the ones who either don't do the work or who insist on reinventing the wheel.

Amazing. A company that actually offers 100% support so you never have to go elsewhere for instruction, training or tools.

Don't stare at the cup of coffee!

We talk alot about the law of attraction and the importance of having a "prosperous attitude" in our industry. But, many people have trouble getting their heads around these terms and putting them to practical use.

This analogy might help. To me, the mindset of attracting a given result, situation or circumstance in my life is a little like walking around with a hot cup of coffee. Have you ever done that?

If you stare at the cup, you'll spill it.
If you completely disregard the cup, you'll spill it.

It's almost as though you have to have a focused inattention on it. A casual air that says, "Yeah, I've got a cup of coffee in my hand but I'm really more interested in looking at these paintings over here...."

And -- poof -- just like that, you can walk through a room of crowded people, talking, laughing and enjoying yourself......all the while you're carrying that cup of coffee along for a safe ride that never loses a drop.

To me, manifesting my goals is like that. If I obsess about them or constantly check to see what my progress is, I fall into the category of "struggle" which is always counterproductive. (Success and manifesting goals requires effort but rarely ever involves struggle.) Yet, if I go to the other extreme and don't give them any attention at all, I'm just being apathetic and unorganized. Nothing happens.

To me, the right balance of just doing your part and knowing -- really knowing -- that the given result is coming. It's all about just doing your part, trusting the system and relaxing into the process.

I'm not staring at the cup of coffee.... It's a balance. It's a flow. It's a calm, quiet sense of certainty that says, "This goal is mine, it's on the way and all I have to do is trust the process, relax into the laws of prosperity and watch my efforts manifest my goals with wondrous results....."

So, the moral of the story is: smile! Don't worry too much about the cup of coffee.....just make sure you've got plenty of prospects, the right methods and you're in a business that will reward you with abundance everytime someone buys a product.

It really IS that simple! Isn't that exciting?

What 86% of home-business entrepreneurs want...

I ran across two interesting facts this week that make for an interesting side-by-side comparison.

Here's the first: John David Mann, the chief editor for Networking Times, the MLM industry's leading publication is quoted as saying "creating millionaires is not what [MLM] does best. What we do best is hundredaires and thousandaires."

Secondly, consider a 10-year survey conducted of more than 6,000 active home-based business entrepreneurs. The survey question asked, "What is the minimum you'd have to earn on a monthly basis to consider yourself successful"? A whopping 86% said that they'd need $6-10K per month. Another 8% said they would want to earn one million per year. Only 8% said they were interested in working part-time for a few hundred dollars per month.

This may explain a great deal of frustration with the MLM industry. There's a large disparity between what people earn and what they WANT to earn. Particularly when MLM generally requires a large organization of people in order to create a significant income.

This disparity has caused a great many people to opt for more profitable home businesses like Liberty League International where they can create an executive-level income within their first 90 days by following a proven system. And -- more importantly -- they can completely break even with only FOUR people instead of with dozens. (Do the math sometime on most MLM companies. You literally need 20-50 people in most companies just to cover your own monthly product purchases.)

All this begs the obvious question: if it takes the same amount of time and effort to recruit someone into a standard MLM program and earn a few dollars on a bottle of vitamins.....

......why not invest that same time and effort into a business that will pay you $1,000 for each person you sell a product to?
