    Journey Of A Lifetime 30 Day Transformation Day 10 

    Nobody said that the 30 Day Transformation Challenge would be easy!

    Life does not always go just the way we plan.

    Thinks can happen that set us back and we can get stuck there or we can “Do it Anyway”.  It’s our choice whether we let little moments become monuments in our life or whether we chose to keep moving onward anyway.  Opra said, “Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new center of gravity,” says Oprah. “Don’t fight them. Just find a different way to stand.”  and she is women that knows how to Rise above Obstacles. ” We are each responsible for our own life – no other person is or even can be,” says Oprah. “That is why it is crucial not to let challenges, be they your own characteristics, events, people, or other uncontrollable factors, act as barriers between you and your goals.”

    When you have ooopps day during the 30 Day Transformation – Start again the next day!  Never Give Up!  It is never TOO Late to get healthy and you are always worth it.

    While you are participating in the 30 Day Transformation Challenge, I guarantee you that there are going to be problems, issues, and roadblocks along the way.  These OBSTACLES are a fact of life and they can come in many different forms. Some ‘happen to us’  and others we create all by ourselves.  But these “PROBLEMS”, these Ooopses don’t have to ruin everything you have accomplished nor do they have to stop you from reaching your goals.  Your DREAMS CAN COME TRUE!

    Accept now that these things are going to happen.  Prepare yourself to overcome those obstacles.  Don’t fret about it, just get ready and hold on. Then Get Up and Stay Focused on Your Dreams!

    1.  Try to solve the problem quickly

    2.  Be honest with yourself about the real importance of the problem

    3.  Ask friend and family or research the problem online and find support and stories of people that have overcome the same obstacles you face

    4.  Hire an expert.  If you can’t face it alone get help

    5.  Change your attitude – Find Something Positive about your situation

    6.  Use trial and error.  When all else fairs adapt.

    7.  Never give up.

    10.  Start over.  When all else fails, start over at the beginning.

    If you need a Pick Me Up today:  Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uLtyzRgmyI

     

    Don’t forget!!!  Today is a reporting day!  We want to hear how you are doing!!!!  🙂

    Turkey Cleanse Day 10 

    “I luv this it is so motivating!!!!!!” -Galli

    It is fun!  The Turkey Challenge is about making some good choices and getting support.  

    Support is an essential part of success.  With Friends around us we feel stronger, not so alone and like anything is possible.  

    Here is why we need Support:

    “I’ve talked to nearly 30,000 people on this show, and all 30,000 had one thing in common — they all wanted validation. … They want to know, do you hear me? Do you see me? Does what I say mean anything to you?” -Oprah Winfrey

    The best mirror is a friend’s eye.”-Unknown

    “It is important for people to know that no matter what lies in their past, they can overcome the dark side and press on the a brighter world.” — Dave Pelzer

    “A friend is one who walks in when others walk out.” –Walter Winchill

    Don’t make friends who are comfortable to be with. Make friends who will force you to lever yourself up.”-Thomas J. Watson

    My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me. –Henry Ford

    We are so glad for your friendship and we so excited to bring out the best in you!  We want to help you to “Stick to It!”

    “Stick to It”  means that You Gt Your Best Results during the Turkey Challenge by doing a few things, like Journal/Keep-Track/Write-Down your intake, following an Isagenix program (Today is a CLEANSE DAY) or by staying within 200-300 calories for breakfast 300-400 calories for lunch and 500-800 additional calories for the rest of your meals and snacks.

    BUT…. Why?  Why do we need to “Stick to It”?

    There are many things that factor in to weight loss, but a lot just has to do with #’s. The Why is ALL in the Numbers and Here is Why:  The number of calories the body needs to consumes in a day is different for every person and so are their caloric needs if they want to lose weight. You may notice on the nutritional labels of the foods you buy that the “percent daily values” are based on a 2,000 calorie diet — 2,000 calories is a rough average of what people eat in a day.

    But… your body might need more or less than 2,000. Height, weight, gender, age and activity level.  If you are following an Isagenix Program, you are consuming about 1200 calories on a shake day.  That is the minimum most nutritionist will recommend without Dr. supervision.  If your following the healthy eating program your consuming on average about the same amount. That will put most of you at a 800 calorie deficit and you will be losing weight!  Woot Woot!

    BUT… There is more!  According to the American Heart Association,

    “more than 140 million American adults are overweight. (Did you check your BMI? Are you one of them?)  Of these, nearly 66 million are obese. People who are overweight or obese are more likely to develop heart disease and stroke (and whole lot of other illness), even if they have no other risk factors. Obesity is unhealthy because excess weight puts more strain on your heart. (Your joint, and bones to) It can raise blood pressure and blood cholesterol and can lead to diabetes. Losing weight is one of the best ways to reduce your risk of heart problems and other diseases. You can reduce your risk of heart disease by reaching and staying at your best weight.”

    That’s why!  It’s also why we are hoping that some of these changes with “Stick with You!”

    AND…  The WINNER is (We can’t tell you yet!!!!  Results aren’t due until Midnight EST)

    Congratulations!  You’ve won an IsaShaker™ with 4 tropical & 4 orange Want More Energy?® Sticks.  Please email us your address!

    Results Don’t Come Easy 

    INTEREST VS COMMITMENT

    R U Ready To Commit?

    Getting results is what we say we all want but like with so many things our actions speak louder than our words.  Getting results in our business efforts, our health, our relationships – whatever, it all takes more than just an interest.

    Results require commitment!

    Interest is ‘the state of wanting to know or learn more about something’.  It’s when it sounds like a good idea to you but it’s ‘not really high on the priority list right now’.   Things that draw our interest usually include our career, finances, health and happiness.  We are all interested in these things, but very few of us are really committed to achieve our dream in anyone one of them.

    Commitment implies sacrifice.  Saying that you are committed to something suggest that you are putting other things aside to make this thing hold a place of high importance on your ‘Things to Do” list and that results are inevitable!

    RESULTS ARE INEVITABLE!  

    People that are committed work when others won’t work.

    People that are committed set examples and lead by example every day.

    People that are committed to achieving a goal don’t complain.

    people that are committed to something don’t find excuses.

    People that are committed keep their eye on their reward at all times and never allow others to take them out of their game.

    It’s your life, your health, you business, your future…     Step up, get results and commit to the things that are important to you!

    It will change everything!!!

    Having Difficulties in Your Isagenix Business? 

    First a little bit about Guy Kingston…

    Guy hosts The Mind Your Own Business Podcast at http://www.myobpod.com/the_podcasts.aspx  We recommend you check it out.  He is a specialist adviser on early stage ventures, helping out fellow entrepreneurs with their businesses. Guy is also an expert on why businesses fail.  He is not associated with Isagenix but does have a few ‘nuggets’ for Isagenix associates. He knows how to get results!

    Here’s what Guy has to say about your business and the difficulties you face:

                   15 HAPPY TRUTHS ABOUT BUSINESS IN ADVERSITY   -By Guy Kingston

    It is not hard times which destroy entrepreneurs so much as the feelings of panic and despair which can take hold during those hard times.  The thought that panic and despair are irrational should itself be a source of strength to the entrepreneur: if he can hold on to that thought in a crisis, panic and despair lose all their power over him.

    There are other truths about business life which can be positive assets in adversity. Unlike many of the “happy thoughts” found in self-help manuals, every single of one of them is a proven fact:

    1   Read the biographies of great or highly successful people and you will find practically all of them found themselves in situations worse than the one you are now in, and have felt as bad as you are now feeling;

    2   Every mistake you make can be turned to your advantage, if only you reflect on it, analyse what you did wrong, and resolve not to do the same in future;

    3   You are a lot tougher than you think, but you can only discover that through trials and tests – you are capable of bearing a level of adversity that would shock you if someone told you about it in advance;

    4   Nothing worthwhile was ever easy;

    5   When something is not working, attempt another approach – you always have options, if only you sit down and think about them;

    6   Extraordinary rewards demand extraordinary effort – you have chosen to walk a path most do not walk, so you must expect what most never experience;

    7   Your situation is never as bad as you imagine it is in your darkest moments;

    8   The best cure for despair is work – while success is never guaranteed, things will probably get a little better, and you will certainly feel a lot better, if, instead of sitting around moping and whining about how bad things are, you take action and actually do something, however insignificant, to try to improve things;

    9   Success usually comes slowly, one tiny, imperceptible step at a time, until, one day, you will look back and realise you have come a lot further than you thought;

    10  Only adversity makes the strong man stronger and the wise man wiser – it is therefore necessary;

    11  There is no situation so bad that someone did not go on to find great success from a similar situation or worse;

    12  Everyone faces obstacles, but there is no obstacle that someone, somewhere, sometime has not overcome;

    13  While birth, education, connections, looks, physical health, personal skills, high intelligence, etc can all be useful advantages, there are people who have found success without them – if you have an entrepreneurial personality, you can rise from almost any situation to wealth;

    14  Few people achieve great success who did not first undergo a prolonged period of preparation by fire; and

    15  You will find that there is a definite Providence which protects you when you act courageously.

    “There are two ways of meeting difficulties: you alter the difficulties, or you alter yourself to meet them.”  – Phyllis Battome

    Make this week you are proud of!

    Tags: Build your future today, Good Advice, , , , , Take steps today, True Strength   

    True strength is doing what your future deserves even when you do not want to. 

    Whether you are working your Isagenix business or even if you have a ‘R.E.A.L. J.O.B.”, we have all had ‘that feeling’. It’s the feeling that stops us in our tracks, like we are just not up for taking that next step.  Like putting IT off because it’s not fun, makes us uncomfortable or just simply takes too much effort.

    We do it in our personal lives when we put off that annual recommended check up with our Doc or when we just forget to make that phone call and apologize for what we said or did the day before.  It’s a behavior that also shows up in our professional lives.  Some of just us never seem to get to that project because it just keeps ending up on the bottom of our to do list or blow off getting furter education that get us that promotion because it’s just ‘not the right time’.

    These are the steps that we take today and that benefit us in the ‘right now’.   In the present, not doing what ever IT is we are avoiding feels pretty good. Relief comes as we turn away from the unwanted and move on to the instant gradification of keeping to what makes us comfortable and gives us the biggest reward ‘right now’.  Over time those missed steps pile up and suddenly we are in the future and we realize that we missed some incredible opportunities.  We come to find that the steps we avoided taking have lead us to the future that is now our reality and a lot of time thats not where we had hoped to end up.

    Some people ask, “How did I get here?”  “How did I get in this situation?”  We know the answer in our gut.  It feels sour and we are filled with regret.

    So, what if do take those steps?  Of corse it will be hard…   It will take true strength.  What if we do today what we don’t want to do?  Where would we be tomorrow?   If you are sick and tiered of where you are today, start now.  Use what ever strength you can muster and take those steps that will build your future.  It’s is an awesome feeling, knowing that you pushed so hard and have accomplished so much and that you deserved to be here – a total success.  People will know you feel it because of the smile that won’t leave your face.

    You can do this!  Let us help!   Join the LivingDreamTeam at http://www.networkmarketingdistributor.com/long/

    Isagenix Business Stay in Positive Motion 

    The Isagenix IsaDerby is about half way done and so far the Race has been amazing!!!
    This weeks stats: The # 15 Team Team in the IsaDerby already has 226 points.  The #1 Team has 515!!!!
    The #10 Top Individual has 114 points and the Top Individual Point Earner has 175!!! 

    This weeks contest: It’s the same contest as last week -Enroll at least 3 New Associate with $19 Membership that order at least 100 in volume at the time of enrollment last week and this week for total of 6 all together or if you missed your 3 last week, GET 6 THIS WEEK and your name will go in to a drawing for a Free Two Night Stay at Sheraton for the News Kick Off in Phoenix AZ in January!!! 

    This weeks TEAM Goal: That contest really goes right along with this weeks TEAM GOAL.  There are ONLY 61 Days left in the IsaDerby II Contest.  To get to our goal of 100 points each, most of you will have to get at least 1 point per day. Let’s make our Dreams come true this week and get on that boat!!!

    What we need to do this week: To reach this weeks team goal it will take each of signing up at least 3-4 people with 9 Day Programs or at least 1-2 with 30 Day Programs or Pacesetter Pacs. 

     

    This week on the IsaDerby Call the topic of inspiration and motivation was “Stay in Positive Motion”-
    On the call this week the leaders in the race where interviewed and they shared their secrets!
    Here are a few tips:
    1. Play to Win! – Do it all together!  Stay connected and talk often with each other.  Also plug in to the Isagenix calls and podcasts.
    2. Set Goals and really try to reach them.
    3. No negative conversations.
    4. Step UP! – Be accountable!
    5. Stay in Positive Motion!
    6. Don’t let the tough parts of the business slow you down.
    Dream Stealers are people that make you think that your dreams can not come true.  They make you question yourself and what you are doing.  You feel depleted after being around them for even a short amount of time.
     

    Dream Believers are people that believe in you so much that they have dreams for you even before you have them for yourself. These people excite you and you learn new things just being around them a short amount of time. 

    So, what are the odds that any one of us will make our Dreams a Reality? Working from home sounds easy, but the Reality is hours of time, hard work, persistence through adversity, and effort. It’s a lot of ups and downs. 

    What makes people want to keep on with building their business? It could be the $ but for most of us it’s the reward and satisfaction of seeing people like ourselves, pull themselves up and achieve their dreams too! Living your dream means that you get to help others live their dreams!


    Be a Dream Believer and watch your dreams come true!
    (Special thanks to Dena who inspired me to write that. May all Your Dreams come true!!!!)

     

     


    To hear each weeks IsaDerby call dial 712 432 0453 9000#.  The call goes live each Tuesday at 11:00.

     

    Dream Big This Week!

    Isagenix IsaDerby Getting Results 

    How many total points does your Isagenix IsaDerby have so far?

    Remember your goal, if you want to win this thing… here’s what it’s going to take:

    Each player should have about 20 points so far.  Remember, you’ll need about 6 points per week per player. There’s just over 13 weeks left in the contest.  So, that means your goal for the remainder of the contest is about 80 points each.

    Yes, that’s a lot but Isagenix just made it a whole lot easier!  That’ right!!!  There are tons of new rules and changes in the IsaDerby Contest.  To hear them all listen to the recorded call.

    • Weekly IsaDerby Call Recorded and Goes Live on Tuesdays @ 11 a.m. PT
    • August 14th-December 13th
    • 1-712-432-0453, code 9000

    or you can check out the highlights below.

    Here’s what’s new with the NEW RULES!

    #1 You no longer need a Star Consultant or above to make an IsaDerby Team.  Teams now only need on Consultant or above to play.  This is great for team members that may have not gotten to join in before.  Remember the last day to sign up is SEPT 26th.

    #2 Now you can earn 6 POINTS for new sign ups on autoship who order 1 of those bigger pacs instead of just 4 points.  WOW!!!!   This is a huge point maker.
    Just so we know what we are shooting for:
    Below you will find How to Earn Points and Advance In Rank.  You can do it!
    1.New Associate on Autoship
    Your new personally-enrolled Associate joins Autoship at the time of enrollment with a qualifying order of 100BV(9 Day) = 2 points
    2.New Associate on Autoship purchases special pak
    Your new personally-enrolled Associate joins Autoship at the time of enrollment and purchases a 30-Day System, Pacesetter Pak, Cleansing and Fat Burning Business Pak, or Cleansing and Fat Burning President’s Pak = 6 points
    3.Develop or become a Consultant
    Develop new personally-enrolled Consultants on your team who have an active Autoship or become a Consultant yourself = 2 points
    CONSULTANT QUALIFICATIONS
    The first advancement in the Team Compensation Plan is the rank of Consultant. To be eligible to be a
    Paid As Consultant and accumulate GV on both of your Sales Teams (Left and Right) you must be Active(have 100 in volume every 30 days) and maintain a minimum of one Active Personally Enrolled Associate on each of your Sales Team (Left and Right) at any time within the prior 30 days.
    4.Develop or become a Star Consultant
    Develop a new personally-enrolled Star Consultant on Autoship or become a Star Consultant yourself = 5 points
    STAR CONSULTANT QUALIFICATIONS
    The next advancement in the Team Compensation Plan is the rank of Star Consultant.
    You may achieve Star Consultant rank by being a Paid As Consultant and having five Personally Enrolled
    Associates who are Paid As Consultants (at least one on each your left and right team) at the same time
    within the prior 30 days.

    5.Develop or become an Executive or Crystal Executive
    Help your new personally-enrolled team member on Autoship become an Executive or Crystal Executive for the first time or do it yourself for the first time=
    10 points per Executive or Crystal Executive
    Once you achieve Star Consultant, your next step is to achieve Executive rank, by being Active (have 100+ in volume every 30 days) and having 10 Personally Enrolled Associates (5 on each of your Left and Right Sales Team), who are Paid As Consultant at the same time within the prior 30 days.
    If you do this in your first 6 months, you can qualify as a Crystal Executive and earn special award benefits.

    So, let’s plan out our IsaWeek.  Remember our goal is to each strive to get 6 points each week.
    So, how will you make that happen this week?

    Suggestion:  Let’s focus on helping others this week.  Let’s get someone PAID.  Look through your team or at the new people that you are talking to and see if you can begin to Dream for them. Figure out how to get them to CONSULTANT this week.
    Good Luck!
    We are on our way!
    Make it a great week!

    How to Make A Successful Marketing and Sales Calls For Your Isagenix Business 

    Improving Your Isagenix Business:

    In the network marketing and sales professions many sales are lost within the first twenty seconds of the pitch.

    When it comes to executing a telephone sales presentation many people are lost. Successful salespeople will greet customers with warmth and let their personality naturally sell themselves as a person first. The buyer, in many cases, decides first, before even hearing about the products and systems, if you are a person he or she would like to do business with.

    When the telephone sales process is not successful it is typically because the person making the call fails to connect with the prospect quickly using a rapport building greeting and opening. The worst part is that the potential customer remains on the line and hears you out already having made up his or her mind to say no at the end of the presentation. Its a loss of energy, time and a potential new Isagenix Associate when the result could have been different with the correct approach at the very beginning of the pitch.

    Prospective Isagenix Associates and decision makers sometimes do not buy because of the failure of the salesperson to connect both emotionally and rationally with prospect during the pitch. Successful sales people will use both their heart and their head to make the sales.

    As a salesperson you will be successful to the degree buyers…

    • 1) Like you.
    • 2) Believe you.
    • 3) Trust you.

    Buyers subconsciously have a built-in meter that is measuring how you rate in these three critical areas. Your job as an Isagenix Independent Associate is to register as high as possible in these areas.

    Top Recruiters also ask the appropriate questions at the right time while “selling the sizzle” and not the steak. Sell the benefits of the Isagenix products and systems to your prospect as opposed to selling them on the actual ingredients of the product.

    Your questions should be designed to expose the prospects “unsolved problems”. You always want to talk about the end result benefits of following an Isagenix Program as it relates to your prospects “unsolved problem”. Doing so will make the task of rebutting less of a struggle because there will be less sales resistance at the end of the pitch when you ask to sign up.

    If you desire to increase your skill level or your marketing organization’s skill level on the phone contact me at http://www.WebWealthy.Isagenix.com.   I will provide you with the training that transforms mediocre marketers into sales superstars.  Welcome to the TEAM!

    On the OTHER SIDE of FAILURE 

    The only way to fail at anything is to give up!

    Decide not to fail and don’t give up!

    Every successful person on the planet has overcome adversity of some sort. You can overcome what is currently standing in your way just by living through it. LIVE!

    Why is it that people tend to forget that when they are going thru a challenge there is going to be great story of achievement on the other side?
