As I continue to be energized from the excitement of recently reaching MANAGER status with Lifemax, I want to share with you some of the things Len and I have learned about this business in only 6 weeks.
It is important to be excited and passionate about what you do. People considering a new part-time business opportunity can be moved by the passion of those around them. Passion is key to keeping things going - if you take the word passion and break it down (and add a “t”) you get “pass-it-on”. Remember, if you are not passionate about your business, products and services then you’re going to have a difficult time passing it on (or selling it) to anyone else.
Like any business or anything in life, you may have a “low energy” day and that is perfectly fine. Use this time to read, reflect and make plans for your business. Even if you feel particularly worn out some days, it does not mean that your internal passion or fire within, has left.
Surround yourself with the best people you know. Associating with positive, successful, motivated people can be contagious and can do wonders for your life and your business. There is always so much to learn from others. Also, be open to meeting new people. When attending seminars, do not prejudge. You will be surprised by who may give you that next spark or gem of an idea to further improve your business. Similarly, do not prejudge someone to whom you are considering showing the Lifemax business opportunity. You really don’t know what is going on in someone’s life and what each person is truly thinking; surprisingly, often the people you assume won’t do well with network marketing, go on to become the biggest distributors!
On the flip side, don’t let the negative, unmotivated naysayers affect you. Realize that they have their own issues to work on and ensure that you don’t let them drain you. Opportunities present themselves on a weekly basis so try to seize them and enjoy your journey of progress.
Take the high road. Run your business and your life with honesty and integrity and you will never go wrong.
YOU can accomplish anything if YOU:
1. Clearly decide what you’re absolutely committed to achieving.
2. Take massive action to achieve the goals and results you’ve committed to.
3. Pay attention to your actions. What’s working and what’s not? Continue to
change your approach until you achieve your goals.
Educate yourself. There are so many great books, audio resources and mentors out there to help you learn and improve your business. Make a promise to yourself to learn a few valuable things every week. Get together with your colleagues from time to time to share ideas. We look forward to sharing information on a consistent basis and are planning some get togethers for the upcoming months.
We're quite excited about the remaining months of this year and know that we all have a lot to look forward to. Aside from all of the exciting things going on at the clinics, I can see everyone doing some amazing things with their Lifemax business.
Keep up the great work everyone!

THE BALL IS DEFINITELY ROLLING AFTER OUR FIRST MONTH WITH LIFEMAX
August 17, 2009
As we look back at the past month, we discover that the most meaningful changes sometimes come from unexpected, seemingly unremarkable, or even un-welcomed sources. What first could have initially appeared as a distraction, nuisance or perhaps an outright disaster, just over a month ago when we were first introduced to the Lifemax business opportunity, turned out to be the BEST thing that could have happened to us this year. It shook us out of our routine, allowed for new possibilities to enter, and presented the opportunity to rise above our previous sense of how things should be, what we are capable of doing, and who we are.
The results so far, speak for themselves; in just one month, we have signed up four gold memberships, four silver memberships and one platinum membership. As this is written, our immediate downline is busy building their business as well. For only five to ten hours of weekly efforts in this business, we have excitingly welcomed cheques amounting to an amount over 2600 US dollars! Not bad for doing something that both energized us and gave us the opportunity to either meet new people or establish new levels of relationships with people we already know.
This month’s events have truly been gifts of grace, full of encounters with extraordinary people. The important thing to recognize, is that we chose to embrace the potential awkwardness that network marketing can often create, and in doing so, we began to drop our egos that vehemently opposed any non-traditional means of business. This has led us on the right path toward growth.
In essence, what we have learned so far is that:
1.Network marketing is really just educational marketing - the idea of providing valuable information about a product and opportunity
2.This type of business should never be painful, but contrastingly, should offer the excitement of personal growth and financial growth with a sense of enjoyment
3.Anyone who enjoys learning from others, being creative, embracing new things, and helping other people, can likely experience great success in this model of business while reaching new heights of personal potential
We can clearly view our first month’s experiences in network marketing as very positive ones, that have driven us to rethink our established, fixed way of seeing things, and help the transformation from stagnation to movement; from limitation to expansion. This process leads to change and growth, which is the basis of all business and all aspects of life.
The enlightening book, Beach Money, states that gradual growth in network marketing is the most important factor. Just one new membership per month ensures great rewards. We’ve entered this business with a big bang - 9 sign ups! We definitely feel the momentum and even if we follow the rule of one sign up per month, we have a sense of contentment; anything above and beyond that is just a bonus!
In summary, our first month with Lifemax allowed us to experience insights that are elevating, useful and enjoyable. Clearly, we’ve outlined all of the rewards of personal growth we’re experiencing without even mentioning the important health benefits that we’re enjoying simply from eating Mila on a daily basis; this is yet, another inspiring topic we’ll save for an upcoming blog post. It has been a blast and we look forward to moving forward with this same positive energy as we enthusiastically facilitate and witness a similar transformation in all of our associates.
Until next time, think about this...
