I love getting paid...to shop!

Now we all can get paid to shop, paid to refer friends and paid when our friend's friend's shop. You see it everywhere these days, sign up for a checking account and get a $100, refer a friend to the groupon you just bought and yours is free. More and more companies are realizing the value of word-of-mouth promotions. Rewarding consumers for making a purchase and referring it to their friends just may be the smartest marketing tool ever created. It's not new of course, multi-level-marketing companies like Amway, Mary Kay and Seacret have based their entire company off the idea, but now even traditional companies want a piece of the pie. What do you think? Is it more effective for companies to advertise by rewarding the consumer to do it for them? Or should they stick to million dollar budget ads on tv and billboards?

Personally I like this new advertising scheme because we all can make money with it. Sites like moolala reward you everytime someone you refer or they refer buys something. Pretty cool. Check it out and see what cool things I've found at :

What Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki have in common

They both recommend Network Marketing!

Check out what they said about how MLM helps people have success: 

"A true network-marketing business is the exact opposite of  traditional business model.  A network-marketing business is designed to bring you up to the top, not keep you at the bottom." 

Internet marketing has proven itself to be a viable and rewarding source of income, and the challenges could be just right for you. There have been some remarkable examples of success, and those successes have been earned through diligence, enthusiasm and the right product combined with timing."

Avoiding pyramid schemes

I recently made a facebook post on this topic:  https://www.facebook.com/seacretcorrine/posts/1433210240232375:0

A lot of people are weary of opportunities today. There are so many stories about scams on Craigslist, spam on Facebook and get rich quick schemes that we often run at any sign of "too good to be true."

But what if within all this skepticism some of those things we thought were "too good to be true" actually were true?

Sadly many people won't take the time to educate themselves on how to spot a scam so they often run from legit opportunity and sometimes wind straight up in a scam they didn't know existed!

Today's post is about practical ways to spot a network pyramid scheme from a legitimate direct sales business. 

Pyramid schemes were deemed illegal by the Federal Trades Commission. They are essentially a scam where a con artist recruits unaware innocents and sometimes aware partners in crime to buy in to a business that doesn't actually offer a product. Sometimes the company appears to offer a service and so they hide under the radar. For example A recent company was shut down for posing as a legitimate network marketing company. They offered "exclusive" access to premium websites. They charged a monthly membership fee and a sign up fee for customers and sellers to access special websites.  After a person signs up they can make money by signing others up underneath, hence the pyramid structure. The problem is the service was not legitimate. It really only gave links to sites that were already free. The company made its money, not from making a legitimate product for the marketplace, but by preying on people who wanted to work from home and charging them sign up fees. They were recently shut down. 

Don't throw the baby out !

This kind of story can scare people who know very little about direct sales. But too often we throw the baby out with the bathwater. Just because a company with a pyramid structure or a network marketing facade was working illegally, doesn't mean all similar companies are.

Plenty of businesses run on a pyramid structure and have monthly membership or entry fees. For example the average corporate structure involves a CEO at the top, followed by several directors getting a slightly smaller income who oversee district managers, who manage local managers and then employees. It's the pyramid structure and its very stable. 

Also Gyms, Netflix and a plethora of other services thrive on monthly membership and entry fees. The problem isn't with the structure the company uses or the way they recruit, but rather what they are recruiting to or for.

So How to spot a good Direct Sales or Network Marketing company from a pyramid scheme?

The first test is does the company sell a legitimate product?

At Seacret direct for example, our product sold in the malls for about 6 years before we switched to direct sales. So all customers and agents alike know that they are standing behind a legitimate product. The product has never been hidden from the public eye or downplayed, it's where we started and how we thrive. Legitimate businesses don't make money by people buying into air, but rather buying in to a product or legitimate service .

Is the company paying compensation majorly for product sales or for agent sign ups ?

Where does the majority of the companies income come from?

 For example if a company charges a very high sign up fee just to sell their product or service, such as $150 or more, thats a good sign that the company isn't very good about earning money straight from the product/service. Many companies will include product in the sign up fee or offer extra kits of products when you join. This may make the starting cost higher and thats completely fine, because you are exchanging it for a legitimate item. But to charge a $400 sign up fee with no product involved just means the company wants to make money by signing up distributors and that's not a good sign. It doesn't necessarily make them a pyramid scheme, but maybe a less ethical company. Be careful. A legitimate direct sales company makes money off the volume of product sales, not the volume of sign ups. There may be a bonus for enlisting new sellers, but the intent is always in order to sell more product not sell selling. 

Does the company convince you to maintain or purchase a large inventory or do they allow you to build slowly?

Some pyramid schemes involve a useless or small valued product that they convince new recruits to buy in large amounts. Their aim is to make a fast and huge amount of cash on each rep knowing the person probably won't sell it all. This is called "inventory loading". Legitimate companies are required to buy by 90% of inventory that doesn't sell up to a years time from the purchase. However, most companies offer ways to sell through catalogs or online where products go straight to the customer and never have to be seen or delivered by the seller or agent. 

Those are the 3 biggest areas that will help you to recognize a pyramid scheme. Unfortunately because of the dishonesty of some, a lot of good, honest companies that provide quality products and services have been scrutinized and even mislabeled by the public. Hopefully by educating yourself on the differences you can be able to avoid scams and safely benefit from the quality products or lifestyle network marketing and direct sales has to offer.

Make every Sunday Dream Day

I'm starting a new tradition. Every Sunday is Dream Day. From now on I'm going to dedicate at least 2 hours of my Sunday to writing down my dreams, reviewing my vision statement and brainstorming how I can achieve my dreams. I also will reflect on what I did the previous week to achieve those dreams.

Why Most People Fail:

Most people don't start with vision or if they have vision they lose sight of it. We can do anything. I think of Disneyland's motto  from Walt Disney, " If you can dream it , you can do it." That doesn't mean anything you ever dreamt is possible, it means you can accomplish anything you want when you have a clear vision of that dream. You actually have to do the act of dreaming. Dreaming isn't a fleeting image or a rash thought. It's concentrating on your goals and envisioning what you want already coming true for you.

So every Sunday I am going to actively dream .

Today after church when I'm done praising God, I am going to go to Starbucks get on their free wifi and consolidate every dream I've ever jotted down in my iPhone into one master dream list. Next I'll turn my list into two master vision statements. One for the next year and one for 5 years from now. Often we overestimate what we can accomplish in one year, but ironically underestimate what we can do in 5. 

Then I'm going to send it to our mentor Jesse Macpherson who asked us to send him vision statements. 

And then the most important part. 

Print that list and vision statements at staples, buy a frame from Dollar Tree and frame those vision statements so I can hang them on my wall.

Dream Binder: 

For my business it's very effective to have before-and-after pictures. I'm going to make a professional binder with all the pictures and include my dreams and vision statement. Every Sunday I can be reminded of my dream while being reminded of the vehicle that will take me there. And when I talk to others who want to start a business I can show them my dreams to inspire them as well.

I highly recommend you do the same thing. Pick a day, once a week, when you just review your dreams and where you're going. Most people fail to achieve their dream because they lose sight of it during the every day activities. 

Select one. It doesn't have to be Sunday but it needs to be consistent. I'll keep you posted on what it does for me and if you notice a difference in your life from a dream day routine, I'd love to hear your story.  E-mail me or post on this blog.

Be willing to go through the breakdowns

To get to the breakthroughs. 

I haven't posted much of anything for a couple of days. I've been struggling with achieving my goals and believing in my dreams. Trying to go from spending only a couple hours a week working on my dreams to full time with a 90 Day Run has been so taxing. I don't think I can maintain the kind of stamina necessary to go that 'all out massive action' as I wanted. I'm not saying I'm not going to do it, but coming from being a regular person with a regular job to being in complete control of my own schedule and how much I make is harder than it seems. I am going to try for a more gradual transition. Instead of aiming to spend every free minute working on my business I am going to aim for a consistent 3 hours every day minimum with 6 hours being my ideal that I'm working up to. Some people need to aim higher so they reach a more moderate goal, like shoot for the moon so even if you miss, you land upon the stars. That's awesome for them, but being a perfectionist, as I can be, means if I shoot for the moon, I'll be miserable and overly critical of myself even if I land upon stars. If I shoot for 3 hours a day. It's still a challenge coming from 0 hours a day and  it will get me consistently building. Also I expect that if I am consistent in doing 3 hours of calls I will eventually be doing a lot more than 3 hours because I will have meetings lined up throughout the day. 

In order to come up with this more realistic plan, I had to go through a stage of excitement for my crazy huge plan of working non-stop every second. And that stage ended quickly with my crash and burn meltdown yesterday. 

What was supposed to get me closer to my goals than ever led me feeling further than ever. No one would blame me for quitting. "It was an impossible path" they would say "you were destined to burnout sometime." But I'm not going to quit. I'm not quitting my business and I'm not quitting my run.

My mentor said in a run you are sprinting and you will get exhausted and want to stop. The first couple weeks are the hardest. 

I'm just adjusting my run. The full out 10k all day run isn't for me right now. But before this run my average hours a week spent on my business were 3-5. I would sometimes call people, go to the weekly meetings and listen to personal development.

Now I'm listening to my teams development call every day at 10 am, I'm blogging about my business, posting my customers crazy results on my Facebook fan page, getting in touch with old friends  (well that's not really work, but it can help spread awareness of my business if we talk about it) ,making calls every day,  having multiple meetings with prospective builders and customers almost everyday and still attending the trainings once a week.

So while I won't be doing the non-stop 9am to 9pm, I will be consistently working more than ever before and recording my results . I will not give up. 

The one thing I learned about running in High School was that if I started out running fast I never made it to the second lap. But if I started at a medium speed I could keep it up for the long haul.

It's my life

It's now or never

I wish I could go back in time

Wouldn't it be awesome if you could go back in time and invest in all the companies you know are going to hit huge success?

Even if you could , how would you know where to find Howard Schultz, the CEO of Starbucks or Steve Jobs (Apple obviously)? Would they let you be one of the first to invest in their company? Or did they reserve the first and best spots only for top investors and friends?

Either way, just a piece of the stock pie would be delicious and hugely profitable. 

Well I just found out I have that kind of ridiculous opportunity. Yesterday I ran into, who would have guessed it, but Dr. Who. He promptly showed me the Seacret to time travel and I am now going back to make us all rich!!! 

Ok just kidding, that's still as far as we know it impossible. But what I did find out is almost that crazy, and it's even more exciting because its real and legit.

Ok so Seacret, you know the 1 billion dollar skincare company that's manufactured, but not owned by Loreal ?(Loreal being a multi-billion dollar company responsible for over 500 brands worldwide)

We are opening for the first time in Australia baby!

Let me put this in perspective:

We cant go back in time to be one of the first 1000 people to have invested in Starbucks or Apple, but you CAN be one of the first 1000 to invest in Seacret Australia.

It's like when Starbucks went global, except for the fact that Secret kiosks have been in Australia for years and have already been wildly successful.

So the new part is now we are opening it to a direct sales market. No other direct sales company has started as a proven product line first before it transitioned. We have no doubt that it will revenue billions of dollars in Australia, that 65% of will go back to the distributors.

As an agent in California I cant invest :( . But I can help people in Australia to get started. It's kind of like being one of the first people to buy a Starbucks IPO. Except you also are being apart of building a huge organization which will change your life forever. 

AKA you may never have to work your boring job again with the ridiculous money you make.

To put it in perspective the first person to build Seacret in the U.S. makes about $2 million dollars a year (he's the guy in the picture with me). The person to open just the San Diego market in CA, makes over $100,000 a year. 

This is basically saying, hey Australia, how would you like to make between $2 million and $100,000 a year. For an initial investment that's about 1% of that? Ridiculous. 

Think about it, have you ever heard of an opportunity like this? When Starbucks opened in other countries did you get the opportunity to be the first to invest in that? No! 

-------------------------------

Bottom line:

I'm so excited!!

 If you know live in Australia or know anyone in Australia who is interested in becoming wealthy by working (if you call awesome funness work) just 10-15 hours a week then e-mail me immediately.

I only have access to a limited number of the already limited 1000 spots available.

And NO! Not anyone can do it. You need to qualify. If you or a friend is interested email me and a few short questions will determine whether they qualify for this ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY.

If you don't see me in a while- I may have just moved to Australia. 

Get that audio Gold

Choose a Theme Song

Music inspires the soul. When you are setting out to achieve your dreams it can fuel your fire. Everyone has that one song that really pumps them up or reminds them of their dreams. If you don't know what that is listen to your playlist until you come across a song that you aren't just hearing, but feeling.

Take That Feeling to Action

Try listening to that song throughout your weak as you work on your goals. Once a day would be awesome! You can use any type of song which has lyrics, rhythm or an artist that inspires you. I personally use a song with lyrics that remind me to push on in difficult times and believe success is possible with perseverance. That song for me if Lana Del Rey's "Radio." It's the song I want played over the loud speakers when I achieve the six figure mark in my business, because we are awarded with a special ring and get to make a speech in front of thousands of people.

Here are the lyrics , they are positive yet edgy and kinda rebellious. Fits me well.

Not even they can stop me now

Boy, I’ll be flying overhead

Their heavy words can’t bring me down

When I've been raised from the dead

No one even knows how hard life was

I don't even think about it now because

I've finally found you

Oh, sing it to me

Now my life is sweet like cinnamon

Like a f***ing dream I'm living in

Baby love me cause I'm playing on the radio

(How do you like me now?)

Pick me up and take me like a vitamin

'Cause my body's sweet like sugar venom oh yeah

Baby love me cause I'm playing on the radio

(How do you like me now?)

American dreams came true somehow

I swore I'd chase them till I was dead

I heard the streets were paved with gold

That's what my father said

No one even knows what life was like

Now I'm in LA and it's paradise

I've finally found you

Oh, sing it to me

Now my life is sweet like cinnamon

Like a f***ing dream I'm living in

Baby love me cause I'm playing on the radio

(How do you like me now?)

Pick me up and take me like a vitamin

'Cause my body's sweet like sugar venom oh yeah

Baby love me 'cause I'm playing on the radio

(How do you like me now?)

(On the radio)

Sweet like cinnamon

Like a f***ing dream I'm living in

Baby love me 'cause I'm playing on the radio

(How do you like me now?)

Food for thought

55,000 people a week across the U.S. alone are starting a referral marketing business. Yet unemployment keeps rising. Why not let the statistics work in your favor?

Good morning - daily update

I realized I hadn't posted my 90 Day Run day two from yesterday so here it is:

Most people when running on a treadmill or at the park get tired after maybe 10 minutes or so, it's normal, but I have zero stamina. Already I am tired on only my second day of running. Now to be fair I did wake up ridiculously early, which for me is 6 am. Despite my drowsiness I accomplished a lot today (October 29th).

I want to share specifics of my day with you because I want to help anyone out there who is in network marketing, or trying to achieve some goal and having a hard time knowing what to do and how to stay motivated.

I started my morning with motivation. I listened to our fearless leader Jesse Macpherson's development call from the previous day and then created my list of 100 dreams I need to accomplish in the next 5 years. It was something Jesse recommended. 

But for the majority of the day all I am doing is 

Calls calls calls. 

It's the ABCs of sales: Always Be Calling

You find when you do this, just how flaky people really are, including yourself at answering and returning calls. People really are not good about communicating through the phone anymore, but everyone knows if you try to text them chances are you will never hear back. So you call anyway, and here's the secret that people you call don't understand, all it takes is "No". I'm not a pushy sales person, I just want to help people find an opportunity that will change their life. Most of my friends don't realize or understand how this opportunity will 100% change their life if they are willing to commit just 5-10 hours a week to it. I can't let them pass on it while I go out and make 70,000 a year or more. I've got to at least offer to show them! If they say No, that's fine, I stop calling, but they have to at least look at it. You can't say no before you know what you are saying no to! Well you can, but that's called closed minded. So until someone sees it, they are still on my list of calls every day. Now if they answer my call and say stop calling, of course I'll stop. Most people though would rather just ignore my call then tell me to stop, so I just keep calling them forever. Not because I want to, but because if they don't say 'No' then it's my duty to keep giving them the opportunity. 

So I made calls from 10am-2:30pm. I'm super slow at calls too because I get nervous about what to say, but at least I'm doing it, that's what counts.

I set up about 5 sitdowns, which are just what I call coffee dates with friends to show them the opportunity. Typically those take about 20 minutes to show the information, but people generally have questions and want to talk so my rule is I stay till they are satisfied, which usually ends up being about 45 minutes to an hour.

I had one sitdown scheduled for that day and was invited to a meeting for another network marketing company. I don't recommend this for beginners, but I know a lot about our company's compensation plan and frankly no other company comes close. 

Most people don't fully understand how they are getting paid or why that is good or bad. I know exactly how Seacret pays my team and why it's the best plan out there. I have looked at over 50 different plans and nothing touches us. 

With that said I attended a casual meeting of another network company because many people do more than one company. I personally love products from  mlm companies. Somehow the best things just come across in mlm.

I thoroughly enjoyed the meeting, the people were so nice and happy, as all people in network marketing tend to be, particularly if they have a binary compensation plan. The people were smart, fun and their product was amazing. It was called Zija. I definitely will buy something from Zija in the future.

I left the meeting with a prospect for Seacret and a retail sale. Who walks into another company's meeting and gets away with that? Only Seacret Agents. But I wasn't there to steal anyone, just give them another opportunity on top of a great one they already have. Our company doesn't drop people if they join another company, as some do. Who knows I may even add Zija to my repertoire once my run is over.

4 Hour-Work Week, Fact or Fiction?

 I recently saw this article in one of my favorite blogs that called the 4 Hour Work Week a myth. Knowing that book was written by Tim Ferris, a friend of the blog owner I was even more curious to see how he was going to turn that into a positive. If you have heard about this book you might have been drawn to the seemingly impossible promise of a 4 hour  work week. Well, Im sorry to say, but your hunches were right, it's not fact.

Why the misleading title?

As Scott Dinsmore, that's the awesome guy who wrote the article, you should read it here, says Ferris is basically just smart enough to know that branding your book with a catchy title helps you become a best seller. However, he's not flat out lying, it all depends on how you define work.

What is true work?

Tim Ferris calls it 4 hours of work because he is referring to the 4 hours in his week spent doing something he doesn't enjoy. Basically anything you are doing just to get paid is "work." 

So how do you avoid working?

The book is all about finding the thing you truly love doing in life and making that your job. If you love what you are doing, then by Ferris definition you are never really working. 

How do I find my dream job?

There are so many ways! One of course is check out Tim Ferris's book "The 4 Hour Work Week," and learn from his story. I personally listened to it on audible, because reading books? Ain't nobody got time for that! 

But another great option is check out the blog where I found the article that inspired this post. The blog creator, Scott, is all about empowering people to find their dream work and live it daily. Liveyourlegend.net

The Easiest and Fastest Way

But the most unique way I've found to find your dream job is also a very practical way. If you want to make a career change you often have to take the risk of quitting your job, as the two above sources will tell you. I found that quitting your job in a sucky economy isn't a risk everyone should take right away. So instead I am building up a business on the side that generates income. When you first start a home-based business you aren't making close to what your job probably pays you, but when you invest time and a small amount of money, overtime it grows and eventually surpasses your job. 

Isn't that Expensive?

It doesn't need to be. What I would suggest to the majority of people out there who like me can not afford to risk their only income is try a company like I did in relationship marketing. Rather than turn away from your jobs income, I say add to it. Starting a business usually is high cost and high time investment, but not when there is already a system in place for you, which is what relationship marketing companies provide. Starting my business with Seacret only cost me $49 plus whatever product I wanted to have for demoing. 

The Best Part: Earn while you Learn

While you have your own home business you are learning more about yourself and others than ever before. It gives you the perfect environment to find what your dreams really are. I've found that my dreams are already being accomplished because I am helping so many others have hope and a chance they never had. I believe no matter who we are, helping others will always in turn help us to achieving our real dreams, and much faster than if we focused only on ourselves.

Making your Vision a Reality

My next post I want to focus on creating a vision statement to fuel your dreams. I talked a little bit about how to do this in my 90 Day Run tab above, but I want to go over it in detail.

However, I found some good links that have information on this task. They do it a little differently than I was taught, but they are helpful none the less.

Time is Everything

The average person lives 28,105 days. By age 18, we have lived 6000 of those days. Doesn't seem like much when you put it to numbers does it? Society often tells us that money is the most important commodity. We try to get the top corporate position so we can make that large income to buy us all the things a good life requires, but this philosophy is wrong. The most important commodity is something that you can't buy, its that 28,105 days that you don't control; time. 

We can never get more time, but we can choose what to do with the time we have. My dream is to have complete control of my time. I don't want a boss or a job deciding when I can or can't see my family or have vacation time. I believe everyone can and should get to this dream, but how do we survive the time we have if we don't have a job?

Robert Kiyosaki, author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" speaks of 4 quadrants we fall into to get our income. E is for employee, S for self-employed, B for big business owner and I for investor. Using these quadrants you can figure out where you are and find out how to get to the point where you control your time.

 A person in E will always trade time for money. The problem with that is time is more valuable than money, but obviously you can't survive to enjoy your time without money. This creates an unsatisfactory Catch 22. If you love your job then you at least are enjoying the time you are trading, but the fact is that time is being spent with something or someone other than those whom you most love and want to be with.

A person in S is a fantastic start. The self-employed have created their own business and are on the way to independence, but they still are trading time for money. They don't have a job, they own a job and whether they like it or not if they don't work they don't get paid.

B and I are the way to truly control your time.
A B is someone who owns a business system that works for them whether they work or not. Ever see Howard Schultz make a Starbucks coffee? That's because he's a B. The CEO of Starbucks makes money every time anyone in the world buys coffee, but he never has to step foot in a Starbucks unless he wants to. A B owns a franchise, creates a corporation or has a network marketing business.

 I is probably the hardest quadrant to really master, though anyone can do it. It stands for investor. And investor doesn't even have to leave the house to make her money multiply. Investors don't even have to physically have their money to get more. It can sometimes be like a game of bigger and better. Investors can sell properties, stocks or assets they own at a profit, turn around invest that profit in something better and then turn around and sell the new investment at a profit  all before any money is physically exchanged.

If you want to become a B or I and really control your time you need to start by educating yourself on business and investing. I recommend Robert Kiyosaki's book "Cashflow Quadrant."

My Vehicle to Wealth, Health and Freedom

Have you forgotten how to dream?
Or maybe you have big dreams, but no way to achieve them?
Do you hate your job? 
Wish you had more time for your family or friends?
Or maybe you love your job, but the pay is so low or unstable you can barely get by?




If any of these questions resonate with you, its time for a new vehicle to make the money you want and have the time freedom you need to really dream again.

All life is, is time, but most of us spend the majority of our time working to provide the necessities of survival. These moments could and should be filled with joy, peace, purposed, family and fun, but because of our jobs they often are filled with boredom,stress, emptiness, fighting and pain. We need to find a way to bring purpose into our daily lives. Why work just to pay the bills, when you could make the time and freedom to do what you really love in life? Why not find a vehicle that can take care of your bills and basic needs while also giving you purpose, passion and the vision to dream again?

We need a new vehicle.
We first have to be reminded how to dream. All of us were given a purpose and a call of something to do in this world, but many of us have lost it. We got caught up in the day-to-day grind. We need a vehicle, or a new way to provide the money we need to survive in a way the fills us with vision for our life instead of bringing us down.

Loosing your dream
While some people know from age 5 they want to be a doctor and do it, not everyone has that passionate dream they turn into a career. Many of us work hard in High School and/or College in hopes that we will figure it all out when we get our first job. What happens is we lose our drive to dream and settle for what life gave us.

Finding it again
There's a new way to play. Why do you need a job? Instead of a job I suggest a business that pays you whether you work or not. Think about it. Your boss pays you to work for him everyday, but he makes more money than you. He is leveraging your time for his success. Isn't it time to leverage your time and effort for your success?

Money isn't everything, but the lack of it is.
Money isn't everything, but its keeping you stuck to your job and dreamless life. What if you had an amount of money fours times the size of your paycheck sent to you every month. Would you be less stressed? Would you stay at home with your kids? I'm guessing you'd have freedom to find out and do whatever it is you really love. Even if you do love your job, the extra finances would free you to explore other interests and avenues. When your income isn't dependent on a single source you are free to find out what you really love without fear of the economy, changes to your industry or your ability to work.

How did I find the vehicle to my dreams?
Though I had read countless blogs and books on finding your dream career, job or field of study, I was always stuck by the fact that I could never narrow my interests down to one specific category. Then one day my vehicle found me. My boyfriend called me saying he was looking into this new business opportunity, but he couldn't afford the sign up fee. I offered to lend him the money. I figured one of us should be able to pursue our dreams. Little did I know it would become the freedom starter for us both. Months later after attending a conference for his new business I caught the vision and decided to give it a try and it has changed my life. The best part about it is that this vehicle is not specific to anyone person or field.

How it changed everything.
Being apart of this new company gave me access to mentors and leaders who had expert knowledge on personal development, goal achieving and life change. Imagine being personally mentored by an expert life coach such as Tony Robbins. Do you think that influence could help you make some real changes in your life? For sure it could. That is similar to the affect that being involved with my company has done for me. In fact one of the top leaders I receive training from did just that and spent two weeks with Mr. Robbins. I have learned more about reaching my dreams than I ever learned in a book because I experience people actually achieving their dreams on a regular basis. I am no where near the end of my dream, but this vehicle has given me the ability to find my dream and have a real chance at actually achieving it.

The Best Part
In addition to purpose and passion this company provides not only the income we need to survive, but more than that it has unlimited earning potential and a lasting residual income. The best part is that anyone can use the same vehicle I did to reach their dreams. My company comes from a industry with many other companies like it and anyone from any background could qualify. Its not based on your education or experience, but rather your willingness and openness to work hard for your dreams. We believe anyone should be given a shot at success and fulfillment.  The industry we are in is called relationship marketing, or network marketing. Its the best kept and most underrated secret that everyone thinks they know about, but few actually do.

What's the Secret to health, wealth and happiness?

"The secret to true happiness is having a life filled with purpose and meaning. A life full of dreaming and opportunities to achieve those dreams."

- Corrine Poole

Everyone wants to find a way to have a well balanced life filled with opportunity and a chance to achieve their dreams in life. However, so many of us after being in the "real world" long enough have given up on our dreams. This blog is dedicated to helping others achieve their dreams or at least learn to dream again. By using my story and what I learn along the way as inspiration, we can learn to dream again and achieve those dreams in practical ways. I'm starting at the beginning so as I learn you can see what worked for me and what mistakes to avoid.


How do I know anything?
 I don't ! Or at least 10 months ago when I started this process of finding and achieving my dream of wealth, health and happiness I didn't. Now through an amazing opportunity I found, I have learned information that most people never get, but could change their life.

What this is
On this blog I am going to focus on the ways I have learned to achieve dreams based on the vehicle I found best to do it through. It's a vehicle called relationship marketing and it has created and will create more millionaires, leaders and givers than any other industry.

Who I follow
I follow the advice and actions of leaders like Robert Kiyosaki who said in order to have our success and freedom we need to get in the B and I quadrants. The way he suggested doing this is by starting our own franchise, or if you don't have millions to spare, he suggested network or relationship marketing.
I follow the actions of Warren Buffet and Donald Trump who have bought and invested in many network marketing companies.
And I follow the leadership of the countless mentors and leaders in my company who have made their dreams come true, gotten their families and selves out of poverty and created endless free time for their dreams.



Specific Expectations:
Expect this blog to be a hybrid. It's part how to article where you will learn on many topics to help you achieve your dreams. It's also part journal or diary where I give an account of my story and day by day steps to achieve my dreams. You don't have to take my word for it that my advice works because it comes from those who have had success and is being put to the test before you eyes through my testimony.

So What Really is The Secret ?
The secret to true happiness is having a life filled with purpose and meaning. A life full of dreaming and opportunities to achieve those dreams. We were all put on this earth for a purpose. We were created by a loving God who instilled in us a drive to accomplish some big dreams for his glory. Whether you believe that or not, you know you have dreams, or if you have forgotten how to dream you feel the emptiness that comes with having no purpose or dream to fulfill. In order to reach our dreams we first need freedom of our mind, which comes through faith, truth and personal development. Second we need freedom of our time, which comes through a balanced schedule under our own control. And last we need freedom of our finances, since money is necessary for survival and often necessary to get the training or resources to chase our dreams.

In my next article I go over how to find the vehicle to achieve these three key steps to achieving your dreams.

1. Freedom of our mind
2. Freedom of our time
3. Financial Freedom
