We are now just a few days away from 2008. And what a year it is
going to be!
Looking back on 2007, what a whirlwind it has been. This
phenomenon called Agel has re-written history in the Network
Marketing arena. Never before has an emerging company created
such earth-shattering repercussions in the industry.
People thought we were crazy to open in 12 countries. And they
were right. They thought we were crazy to expand so fast
afterward. And they were right. And they thought we were nuts to
add 20 EU countries in one bold stroke. And they were right
again. But those crazy ideas have produced some crazy success!
As you know, at Agel World ’07, there were three of us that
received rings signifying earnings of over $1 million last year.
Do you realize that there are five, ten and 15 year-old
companies that don’t have even one million–dollar earner yet?
Even more important, however, was all the $750,000, $500,000,
$250,000 and $100,000 earners. That is the most gratifying of
all. What is really extraordinary about all this is the number
of those people who came into Agel without previous experience
in the business. This is a testament to the support structure we
have created.
There are really three parts to a support structure this
comprehensive:
* The System: There is a step-by-step system for you to follow.
No matter what your education level, experience, or age,
everyone follows the same proven road map to building
a successful network. We have learned the best ways to build a
network and created a system utilizing all that, so everyone has
the same opportunity for success. The system prevents it from
being all about you, which is the sure path to being a grinder –
and instead provides a framework that anyone can follow.
* The Infrastructure: An important element of the system is
having the proper infrastructure in place to apply it. The most
important element of this is using third party tools, because
that is what will duplicate for the most people. This is where
“The Agel Phenomenon,” “Choosing Success,” the “Vibrant Living
Journal,” and “MLM Rock Star” come in. These are the most
powerful recruiting tools in the business. Make sure you always
have a good supply of these and keep them in circulation. These
resources allow you to get started fast, even if you have never
been in the business before.
* The Training: Another critical element is the training on how
you use the system and the infrastructure – and we’ve certainly
got that covered! Our weekly Leadership Training Calls are very
important for your success and of course the live events. More
about this in a minute. But first some thoughts on making 2008
your best year ever.
The way you close 2007, is going to be how you open 2008. Plain
and simple. You simply can’t say, “I’m going to just lay low
during the holidays and pick things up after the New Year.”
People who do that basically shut down their business from
December 15 to January 02 and they completely destroy their
momentum. Their whole group goes into a coma.
The sad part about this is that the week between Christmas and
New Year’s can be one of your best of the year. People are home
or working half days. They are relaxed and open to looking at
things. And they are already starting to think about their New
Year’s resolutions and what they want to do better and different
in the future.
And because lots of other people stop for the holidays, when you
do anything you get more traction than ever. Now please don’t
get me wrong:
I’m not suggesting you should be making presentations at holiday
parties and dinners. You don’t need to be doing commercials
during the Dick Clark special. Spend some quality time with your
family and other loved ones. But set aside some time for your
business as well. Holiday parties and get togethers mean you
will be meeting lots of new people. Be taking mental notes of
who the sharpest ones are, so you can talk to them later. Set up
your post New Year’s PBR’s NOW. If you wait to start scheduling
them until after the New Year, you’ll lose the first week of
January as well. And that is probably the best single week of
the entire year to get momentum!
If you truly are ready for your greatness, then get your 2008
momentum started right now.
I’m looking forward to getting together with many of you in a
few days in Maui, Hawaii for our annual Leadership Retreat. We
will be at the Grand Wailea Resort, no doubt one of the finest
in the world. You can watch the whales swim by from your room,
the spa is unparalleled, and they have championship golf and
tennis right on site. Get a sneak peak at:
http://www.grandwailea.com
Agel has provided for transportation to and from the airport,
luxurious room accommodations, payment of all resort fees, taxes
and gratuities, the opening reception, arrival amenities and the
closing luau. It is going to be spectacular. The weather is
sunny, light breezes and about 85 degrees Fahrenheit this time
of year.
For you guys attending, a few notes:
The welcome reception is Wednesday night at 7 pm in the Grand
Terrance at the hotel. We’ll be brainstorming our game plan for
the new year. Remember there is also a group activity Friday
afternoon. I suggest you book your spa sessions before you
arrive, to make sure you get what you want.
For you guys who did not qualify for Hawaii, please set your
sights right now on the Black Tie event, before Agel World ’08.
Two years ago, we went on a hot air balloon ride, had a private
show from the skiers at the US Olympic training center, and even
got to ride the bobsled run. This year we had a breathtaking
horse ride through the mountains, ending up in a meadow which
had a string quartet and catered lunch awaiting us! Of course
there is also the formal awards dinner each year. Make sure you
get Black Tie qualified this year.
Speaking of events, there is some very important information you
should know about the upcoming Go Diamond Weekend. This needs to
be the most important priority in your business right now. As in
getting registered, and getting all of your team members
registered as well. Here’s what I can tell you about this year’s
Go Diamond:
Austin has ten Diamonds committed to appear. The Asia Pacific
version in Sydney already has four and more on the way. This
event each year has one purpose and one purpose only: To help
you create the exact game plan you need to become a Diamond
Director yourself. Here’s what else you should know about this
year’s version:
We will be launching three MAJOR business-building innovations…
The first of these will be the “Duplication U” training album.
This album is the replacement for the CDs that used to come in
the Starter Kit. Only they are now updated, expanded and even
more information dense than ever! There are actually ten
different sessions, from Power PBR’s to Amazing ABB’s, working
with long distance lines to building strong volume, from
powerful prospecting to developing depth. This potent new
resource will help your new people get duplicating FAST! (By the
way, you’d probably expect an album like this would cost $300.
You’ll get it for less than 20 bucks!)
The second major innovation is a secret! But I can tell you
this. Imagine if you took the power of the “Phenomenon” DVD, the
effectiveness of the “Secrets of the Multi-Million-Dollar
Producers” CD, AND the Mag Pak – and you created one complete,
thermonuclear recruiting tool! Be there and discover for
yourself. This will revolutionize your prospecting efforts.
Finally the third new resource is probably the one I am most
excited about. It is called, “Your Agel Business Plan.” Think of
it as our current “Fast Start Training” on steroids! It is
actually a 36-page business plan, with a follow along CD, to
take a new team member exactly through the process to Manager or
higher within two weeks. It will guide your new people
step-by-step through setting up their PBR’s, making their list,
setting up their backoffice, ordering their business tools,
talking to prospects, and everything else they need to come out
of the gate smoking.
All three of these resources will be ready and available at the
Go Diamond Weekends. And people who have them will have a few
months head start on those that don’t. And that’s just what you
can get at the breaks!
Remember we’ll be having session after session with our Diamond
Directors sharing exactly how you can become one too. Glen
Jensen, Craig Bradley, Jeff Higginson and other top Agel
executives will be there, so you get a chance to meet and
socialize with them. You’ll be networking and rubbing shoulders
with the biggest stars in the Agel universe all weekend. And of
course Saturday night bring your best glam rock, punk rock, or
whatever outfit for our “I Love the 80’s” costume party!
Be sure and book your flights home after 3 pm Sunday, so you
don’t miss the critical objectives and game planning session
Sunday morning from 9 am to noon.
No matter where in the world you are, it is worth the investment
to fly to this event from anywhere. It will be our best Go
Diamond Weekend ever. But you have to act NOW.
This is the best time to get the airfare bargains. And our room
block at the host hotel is almost gone. As of this morning,
there are only 25 rooms left on the nights of January 25 and 26.
The rest of the hotel is sold out. If you don’t book before
Monday, you will have a real problem finding somewhere to stay.
And once the seats in the convention hall are gone, they’re
gone.
Please go now to: http://www.ateamcentral.com/ and register for
the event if you have not already. You’ll find a link to book
your hotel as well. Then start an email tree and start calling
your front line people and make sure they are done. Your income
for 2008 will be dramatically affected by how many people you
have at one of these Go Diamond Weekends. Please make the most
of it! I wish everyone a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year.
I’ll talk to you on the special Leadership Training Call
tonight. Until then, keep rocking!
