Making Manager Status

August 29, 2009

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!
