The world as we know it right now will end in 2012.

A new world will be born.

Humanity is about to go through a massive shift.

One of the energies that is accelerating that change is the awakening that many Lightworkers are going through right now in respect to “Dreamstealers”.

What Are Dreamstealers?

Dreamstealers are the people in your life who have these qualities about them:

• They fail to take responsibility for anything in their own lives.  Instead they always have someone to blame – from the Government, to the Rich, to everyone else.
• They always see the negative in every situation, and hide under the guise of “Just being realistic.”
• They are the first ones to point out everything that could possibly go wrong.
• They destroy your dreams, and hide under the guise of “I do it because I love you and I don’t want you to be disappointed.”
• They are often unhappy and miserable with their own lives, yet at the same time they believe their way of doing things is the only/right way.

Almost all of  us have people in our lives who exhibit these qualities – be it friends, co-workers, acquaintances or family members.

The 2012 Shift

Up until 2011, most of us tolerated Dreamstealer abuse and negativity because in a lot of cases it was just easier that way.

A lot of us even felt sorry for these people, especially in the case of friends and family members.

However, in 2012 and moving forward, that is no longer good enough.

Almost all of the Lightworkers I have spoken to in the last three weeks have begun expressing this energy of “I’m not going to let them steal my dreams anymore.  I’m done.”

I believe this is a global phenomenon.  We’re all awakening to this right now.

The Lightworker Rescue Mission Ends

Up until now, many Lightworkers were under the wrong impression that it was somehow their job to “rescue” these dreamstealers from their own negativity.

We would listen and allow these negatrons to spew their negativity, thinking that “It’s OK, I can handle it.  I’ll show them the positive side as soon as they’re done.”

We would let them “vent” and then offer a positive perspective/spin on what they just expressed to us, in hopes of “showing them the light” and helping them to feel better.

The challenge is that they don’t want to see the light.

What they do want is to temporarily feel better – (which is good) – but the way that they go about this is by STEALING your light instead of by connecting to their own.

You can’t help a Dreamstealer by giving them your light.  That is a short-term solution which leaves you drained and them only temporarily feeling better.

By letting them “feed” off of your positive energy, you’re in effect giving them their “fix” instead of allowing them to find their own inner light.

This is not in alignment with the highest good.

The Secret Weapon of Dreamstealers

However destructive this challenge of letting Dreamstealers “feed” off of your light energy is, it actually pales in comparison with the bigger challenge that this situation creates.

The bigger challenge that this situation creates is that it robs the world of the CREATIONS that Lightworkers are supposed to be creating.

You see, it takes a lot of light energy to bring an idea/creation into this world.

It takes a lot of energy to raise our own vibrations to allow us to create and manifest something new and amazing at a level higher than we have ever created.

Ideas and inspirations are like infants.  They must be protected and shielded from the outside environment, just like you would protect an infant.

A lot of Lightworkers I know have amazing ideas and aspirations.

They have great aspirations for starting & building businesses, or transforming their lives in some way.

The challenge is that most Lightworkers I know have not been aware of the secret “weapon” that Dreamstealers have, which kills and destroys their ideas and aspirations.

Many Lightworkers believe that if they invest X number of hours into a project, or new business of some sort and 99% of that time is spent feeding positive energy towards the project, then it doesn’t really matter what happens the other 1% of the time.

Most Lightworkers BELIEVE in their positive beliefs.  They believe that their new business idea or new project is the right thing to do.  They are convinced that they are right and no Dreamstealer will ever be able to convince them otherwise.

This is why most Lightworkers haven’t really cared about the negative opinions of a few co-workers, friends or family members they are exposed to from time to time.

Their thinking is “I know what I’m doing is right, those negative people can’t convince me otherwise.”

And they are right.  Dreamstealers, in almost all cases, CAN’T convince you that they are right and you are wrong.

The challenge, however, is that they don’t have to!

You see, the secret weapon of a Dreamstealer is NOT to convince you that you are wrong and they are right.

They know they don’t need to do that.  All they need to do to completely throw you off track is to introduce DOUBT and FEAR – even in small amounts.

Often times that is all that it takes to destroy your dream.

You see doubts and fears paralyze people.

If I was a Dreamstealer I wouldn’t need to convince you that your dream/idea/inspiration is WRONG.  All I would have to do is introduce REASONABLE DOUBT that your ideas is RIGHT.

All it takes is a little tiny bit of REASONABLE DOUBT and your idea goes POOF!

Let me give you an example.

Let’s say that you are currently working at a job you hate.  You know it’s not the right job for you and you have decided that it’s time to leave.

Sure enough, you manifest a business opportunity which you are very excited about.  This opportunity feels right, it aligns with your highest values and you are super excited to start building this business.

Deep down you KNOW that this business opportunity is better for you than the job you’re at.

So you start taking the necessary steps to build this business and to hopefully, one day be able to quit your job and do the business full time.

Now you come across a Dreamstealer who gives you their “opinion” of what they think of your business idea.

They themselves have never actually owned a business, operated one, or had any success with a business in their lives.

So basically they’re talking out of their asses when giving you this advice – but nevertheless that doesn’t stop them from telling you ALL about how your business idea is flawed.

After one hour of listening to their negative garbage, you’ve had enough.

You excuse yourself and go do something else.  You brush yourself off and keep trucking on.

Over time, however, your excitement about your business starts to dissipate.

You start to wonder if maybe there was some truth in what they were saying.

Is it really the right time to start a new business?

With the economy the way it is?

What if it doesn’t work out?

What if you lose your job because your boss finds out you’re starting a business?

What if this happens or that, or some other thing?

You see…what’s happened is that the Dreamstealer has INFECTED you with DOUBT.

They didn’t CONVINCE you that your idea was bad or that your business venture was not right for you…. they didn’t have to.

All they did is they just created a little, tiny, itsy-bitsy DOUBT.

And that’s all it takes to destroy most ideas at their infancy stage.

Let me ask you this… if you fed an infant baby healthy breast milk from the mother several times a day, every day for 3 months… and then just once fed it poison, what would happen to that infant?

I think the answer is pretty self evident, right?

Would it matter if you tried to then go back and feed it healthy food again?

No, once the infant is poisoned, it’s poisoned!

This is exactly what DOUBT and FEAR create in our lives.

The bad news is that the Dreamstealers in your life have most likely been responsible for poisoning thousands, if not tens of thousands of possible ideas and inspirations in your life.

The good news is that if you STOP allowing them to do this in 2012 and onwards – your life is going to transform so quickly, you’ll be absolutely amazed.

Our Addiction to Dreamstealers

This post is not about blaming the Dreamstealers, however.

You see, it’s not really their fault.

They are what they are.

Dreamstealers are like cigarettes.  They poison your body, but it is YOUR choice whether your smoke them or not.

You can’t blame cigarettes for being cigarettes.  They’re just pieces of dried up tobacco wrapped in paper.

It is our addiction to cigarettes that’s destructive, not cigarettes themselves.

It’s the same thing with Dreamstealers.

Most Lightworkers are addicted to being around Dreamstealers.

The reason for this is because when we begin to pursue our dreams and aspirations, we inevitably end up hitting the outer edges of our comfort zone.

Meaning, we have an inspiration and we get excited about.

We start to pursue it and everything is going great.  But sooner or later, in order for us to bring those aspirations into fruition, it means that we have to go past our comfort zone and GROW in some way, shape or form.

This is where most of us self-sabotage ourselves, by picking up the phone and calling a Dreamstealer or by meeting up with them in person.

Instead of facing our fears of going beyond our comfort zone, it’s much easier for us to distract ourselves by getting around someone negative.

We get around them, and listen to them spew their poison.

When the conversation is over, we have allowed them to poison our aspirations.

However, another part of us justifies this by thinking “It’s good I called them, because they were totally having a bad day (yet again).  I’m sure I made them feel better.”

And the destructive cycle continues.

You get to stay safe inside your comfort zone with your new aspiration now being suffocated and killed by the doubts injected into your consciousness by the Dreamstealer, and the Dreamstealer gets their “fix” of positivity for the day.

Shielding Yourself from Doubt / Fear and Negativity

2012 is all about letting go of this addiction.

It’s about surrounding yourself with positive, inspiring and encouraging people who will help you to GROW your dreams and aspirations, and will support your growth even if it means you having to get a little bit out of your comfort zone.

It’s about letting go of your co-dependencies on Dreamstealers who are just looking for their positivity fix.  It’s time to let them discover their own light inside, not to offer up a piece of your own.

It’s time to fully embrace your dreams and inspirations and let your light shine.

One of the terms that I often hear being used in my GIN training is the concept of “failure habits”.

Failure habits are habitual ways of thinking or acting that virtually guarantee we will fail at whatever it is that we are trying to accomplish in life.

One “failure habit” that I have very recently become increasingly aware of is the habit of creating “failure stories”.

What are failure stories?

Failure stories are little stories that we create in our minds to rationally justify why we failed to accomplish something we wanted to accomplish in our lives.

Almost all of us create failure stories in our minds unconsciously without even realizing it.

It’s very difficult to even realize that we have these stories running through our minds.  It’s actually a lot easier to spot them in other people than it is in yourself unless you really look for them.

So what do failure stories look / sound like?  How do we become aware of them?

Well, the first step is to start noticing them in other people.  It’s really easy to do that as most people spend their entire lives walking around telling people about their failure stories.

Here’s some of the types of examples I’ve heard before:

• “I tried doing that business, but at that time in my life I was way too busy with too many things and just didn’t have the time to really focus on it so it didn’t work out.”
• “I’ve tried losing weight, but I’ve got a genetic thyroid issue that makes it almost impossible to lose weight.”
• “I’ve actually made good money before, but I self sabotaged myself because of the lack mentality I grew up with when I was younger.”
• “My business idea was good, but it didn’t work out because the economy was bad.”
• “I tried making money online, but I got in too late.”
• “I could make so much money online but I’m not a marketer.”
• “The Law of Attraction doesn’t work for me because of my beliefs.  I tried it, and I know it works for others, but because of my beliefs it doesn’t work for me.”
• “The cake didn’t turn out because my stove is old.”

etc.

The next time you’re talking to someone, just listen to how often people tell you their failure stories.

Whenever someone tells you how something didn’t work out for them – whether it be a relationship, a job, a business venture, whatever – they always have a failure story that explains and justifies WHY it didn’t work out.

Look for the keywords “tried” and “but” and “because”.  As in “I tried doing that, but it didn’t work because of this and also that.”

Once you start listening for it you’ll be amazed at how often people walk around talking like this.

Once you become aware of just how often people all around us use failure stories in their day to day conversations, you will also probably start to notice yourself doing the same thing.

I know I have.

What’s Wrong With Failure Stories?

The biggest challenge with failure stories is that they simply aren’t true.

The reason we tell ourselves why we failed to accomplish something is almost NEVER the real reason why we failed.

There is a real reason, but it’s almost NEVER the one we tell ourselves.

How do I know this?

Well, think about this.  Consider something in your life that you’ve been successful at.

For example, lets say that you are successful at playing an instrument – like let’s say the guitar.

Now, think about all the people out there who tried to play the guitar and failed.

You know the ones.

Well what do they say to you when they see you playing guitar?

• “Oh, man you’re really good at guitar.  I tried playing guitar once, but my fingers are too small.”
• “I tried learning guitar but my fingers are too big.”
• “I tried playing guitar but I don’t have the time to practice for hours and hours every day.”
• etc.

Think about what you’ve been successful at…

Have you been successful at keeping your body fit and healthy?

Have you been successful at reading personal development books?

Have you been successful at raising a family?

Have you been successful at training your dog?

Have you been successful at playing an instrument?

Have you been successful at using the Law of Attraction?

Whatever it is that you’re successful at, when you talk to people who are not successful at that one thing, don’t they tell you the most ridiculous failure stories?

• “Oh I can’t train my dog, he’s too old.”
• “Oh I can’t stay fit, I don’t have time to spend 4h/day at a gym.”
• “I can’t play an instrument, I’m not talented.”
• “I can’t be fit, it’s not in my genes.”
• etc.

Aren’t most of the failure stories that OTHER people tell us about why they’re not successful complete bullshit?

Isn’t the REAL reason why they didn’t succeed at what they wanted to succeed at something totally different?

Just start listening to people tell their stories and you’ll know what I mean.

How do they know that the Law of Attraction doesn’t work for them because of their beliefs?  What if it’s something else?

How do they know that the real reason they can’t play guitar is because their fingers are too small, or too big?  What if it’s something else?

How do they know that the real reason they don’t read books is because they’re not good at reading? What if it’s something else?

Once you start seeing just how ridiculous most people’s failure stories are, it’s time to turn the mirror on yourself.

Why are you not successful at _______________ ?

Get a piece of paper out and write down something you wanted to become successful at in your life and then write down all the reasons why you think it didn’t work for you.

I did this last night with one really, really big goal in my life that I haven’t yet achieved.

I made a list of possible reasons that I have not been successful at this yet.

I ended up writing down about 7 or 8 possible reasons.

Telling the Truth

The next step is to tell the truth.

And I believe this next step is a very profound step.

What is the truth?

The truth is simply this…

… maybe, just maybe, we don’t yet know why we failed to accomplish something.

Admitting the fact that we don’t KNOW why we failed is a huge step in success.  For example, we could change the statements above to:

• “I tried doing that business and it didn’t work out for me, but I don’t yet know why it didn’t work out.”
• “I’ve tried losing weight but I don’t yet know why I haven’t lost it.”
• “I’ve actually made good money before and I feel like I sabotaged myself, but I don’t yet know why.”
• “My business idea was good, but it didn’t work out, but I don’t yet know why.”
• “I tried making money online, but I haven’t yet, and I don’t yet know why.”
• “I feel like I could make a lot of money online but I don’t yet know why I haven’t so far.”
• “The Law of Attraction doesn’t appear to work for me, but I don’t know why yet.”
• “The cake didn’t turn and I don’t yet know why.”

Just admitting that we don’t yet know why we failed is a huge step forward.

By opening up the “I don’t know what I don’t know” door, it allows the Universe to help you become aware WHY things actually didn’t work out.

Otherwise, you’re clinging onto a lie that doesn’t help you.

Failure Stories Rob You Blind

As a coach and mentor, I very often have people come to me asking me for advice on a specific challenge they’re having in their lives.

The challenge is that almost always, they also have a preexisting failure story attached to that challenge.

For example, they will say “Yeah Paul, I can’t seem to grow the traffic to my Blog because I don’t have an email list, what do you suggest?”

or “Yeah Paul, the Law of Attraction doesn’t work for me because I just don’t believe in it, so what do I do?”

They present the main challenge (no traffic, LoA not working) but then they throw in these assumptions of what THEY think the reason is.

The thing is that 99.9999999999% of the time, the reason that they THINK is causing them failure is NOT the real reason.

The biggest challenge then becomes getting them to actually LET GO of the preexisting “failure story” that they already convinced themselves of, so that they can see the ACTUAL solution to their problem.

In almost all cases, it’s actually harder to get people to let go of their failure story then it is to get them to implement the real solution!

Imagine if someone came to you and said “I can’t tie my shoelaces because I’m not left-handed.”

Assuming you are right-handed yourself, and you know how to tie your shoe laces, what would you say to them?

You would probably say “Wait.  What do you mean?  You don’t need to be left-handed to tie your show laces.  I can teach you how to tie your shoe laces even if you’re right handed.”

Now imagine that they then say “No, both my parents were left-handed and so is my brother and they all knew how to tie their shoe laces very easily.  My brother learned it in 5 minutes.  I tried but it doesn’t work for me because I’m right handed.  That’s why I always buy shoes with no laces.”

You might say “Wait, that’s not true.  There are billions of people on this planet that are right handed, including me, and we can tie our shoe laces.  Let me show you…”

And imagine them saying “No, that can’t be right.  I already know that I’ll never be able to tie my shoe laces because I’m not left-handed.  Thanks anyways.”

Wouldn’t that drive you nuts?

Do you realize that there is a VERY high chance that somewhere in your life right now you are doing the exact same thing to someone else?

You’re very likely using your fictional, made-up “failure story” as an excuse not to be able to do something, and when someone tries to help you solve that problem you’re denying their help because you are convinced that your failure story is true.

How to Stop Failure Stories from Causing More Failure

The first step to stopping failure stories from becoming a failure habit in your life is to become aware of them.

Write down something you want to accomplish or wanted to accomplish in your life on a piece of paper.

Then, write down a list of possible reasons that pop into your head which would explain why you failed.

Those “reasons” are your failure stories.

It doesn’t matter how reasonable and logical and true they sound – they are just stories.  They may or may not be the REAL reason why you didn’t succeed.

Next, below all of those reasons write down “THE REAL REASON:”

And below that write down these words…

“The truth is that I don’t know why I failed to accomplish this yet, and I’m open to learning the truth.”

This truth statement will set you free.

Admitting that you don’t know is a HUGE step forward.

Only once we admit that we don’t know can we manifest the truth to come into our lives and to enlighten us.

We must first empty our cup of lies in order to fill it up with truth.

Next, seek the advice of people who are already successful at accomplishing what it is that you want to accomplish.

Ask them for advice and REALLY LISTEN.

Don’t assume you already know the reason why you failed.  Ask them to tell you why THEY think you failed.

Chances are that their opinion – having already accomplished what you want to accomplish – will be a lot closer to the real truth than any of your failure stories.

If you’re a GIN Member or have listened to “Your Wish is Your Command” you’ll recognize that this concept is related to one of the fundamentals of success which is “How Coachable Are You?”

Asking someone for a solution to a problem, and then ignoring their solution because you think that your solution is better than their solution is not being coachable.

If you’re going to do that, you might as well not ask for help in the first place.  If you already think you know the solution, then ask yourself “How is this working out for me?”

There’s a small, but powerful distinction I have recently learned which has helped me to manifest what I want much more quickly.

I have spoken to quite a few people in the last few weeks who are making the same mistake I used to when trying to manifest something, so I figured I’d write a Blog post about it.

The “flaw” in most people’s thinking is pretty clearly demonstrated in this conversation that I’ve had with many people in the last few weeks:

Paul: “Hi John, so how did you enjoy the Your Wish is Your Command program?”
John: “Oh it’s great.  I finished it a couple of weeks ago and I already started manifesting some things.”
Paul: “Cool.  So have you decided whether or not you want to become a Member of the Global Information Network?”
John: “No, I don’t have the money for that right now.”
Paul: “Right.  So have you decided whether you want to become a Member though?”
John: “Well I can’t. I don’t have the money to join.”
Paul: “Right.  But it doesn’t cost you any money to make a decision, does it?”
John: “Well, no, but I don’t have the money to join so what’s the point of deciding?”
Paul: “If you don’t have the money to join GIN, why don’t you use the teachings in YWIYC to manifest the money?”
John: “Well, I’m manifesting money for other stuff first.”
Paul: “What other stuff?”
John: “Oh I have some bills that need to be paid right away, and then I need to manifest some money for my credit card payment, and then I need to manifest money for my car insurance.”
Paul: “Ok, so why don’t you manifest the money for all that stuff and also manifest $1,000 for your GIN initiation fees?”
John: “Well if I manifested $1,000 I would use it for other stuff first.”

I’ve had a similar conversation to this with about a half-dozen people now, and there is a big flaw in their way of thinking about this.

The flaw is that they assume that the Universe helps us manifest stuff in a SERIAL fashion.

Meaning, most people unconsciously limit themselves to only asking the Universe for only one or two things at a time.

It’s as if they believe there is some kind of quota that they don’t want to go over.

The Universe doesn’t care.

If you ask it for one thing at a time, it will go to work for you to help you manifest only that one thing.

If you ask it for 500 things at the same time, it will go to work for you to help you manifest all 500 things.

That doesn’t mean all 500 are going to manifest at the same time, but it means that the Universe will be working on all of them at the same time.

So, in the example above, John’s thinking is that he must first manifest the money to pay his bills.

He thinks that only once those are paid can he ask the Universe for help to manifest some extra money to pay his credit card.

And then only then can he ask the Universe for help to manifest some extra money to pay his car insurance.

So, things like manifesting a new car, or a nicer house, or a relationship or better health or anything like that are not even part of his “wish list”.

The Universe – A Parallel Processor

One of the things I learned at the Matrix Energetics seminar I attended last year is that just like our subconscious mind, the Universe is a parallel processor.

This means that it can handle an unlimited number of parallel tasks.

This means that you can ask the Universe for an unlimited number of things on your wish list, without worrying about one task slowing down the manifestation of another.

See I think a lot of people think that the Universe is kind of like a computer.

They think that you can ask it to do one thing, or maybe two, or maybe three or four, but if you ask it to do any more than that – it slows down to a crawl.

The Universe doesn’t work that way.  You can’t “Overload” it.

It doesn’t care if you ask it for 1 thing, 5 things, or 10,000 things.  It goes to work on all of them.

What’s even more is that from my experience, I have found that actually the MORE things you ask of it at the same time, the more efficient it becomes at delivering EACH thing to you.

Think of it this way… let’s say you were going to send your spouse to the store to get some groceries.

Your spouse asks you what you want, and you say “Oh we need some potatoes.”

So your spouse goes out, drives to the store, gets some potatoes, and then drives back.

Once they get back you say to them “Wow, you got potatoes!  That is awesome.  Ok, now we also need some salt.  We’re really low on salt, can you go get salt?”

So they get back in their car, drive to the store, buy some salt, drive back.

As soon as they get back, you say to them “Ok perfect.  Now we need some eggs.”

See my point?

That is totally inefficient.  Your spouse would probably flip you the bird and tell you to go get the eggs yourself.

Don’t DO THIS!

Don’t ask for ONE THING AT A TIME.  It slows everything down, and probably drives the Universe nuts.

Now the spouse going to the grocery store analogy is not exactly perfect because it too has a limit to the amount of things that your spouse could get for you at the store, but the Universe is not like that.  It is unlimited.  You can’t use it up.  It’s completely abundant.

What I have actually found is that the more stuff I put on my “Wish List” the faster I get everything one-by-one.

The stuff might not manifest in the order that I wrote it down on my wish list, but things do manifest much quicker.

Success Builds Belief

One of the reasons I believe asking for more stuff at the same time is better is because I think it builds belief faster.

For example, lets say I had a wish list that looked like this:

(1) I want to manifest $500 to pay off my credit card.

Versus if I had a wish list that looked like this:

(1) I want $500 to pay off my credit card.

(2) I want a new iPhone 4s.

(3) I want $500 for an upcoming Matrix Energetics seminar.

(4) I want to lose 5 lbs of fat.

(5) I want a new BMW 7-Series, fully loaded, fully paid for.

In the second scenario I have 5 items on my list instead of just one.  Why is this better?

Well, the reason it’s better is because the more stuff you ask the Universe for, the more it goes to work for you to manifest each one of those things.

Let’s say that in the first example, after 2 weeks you still haven’t manifested $500 to pay off that credit card.  Where is your belief level at in such a case?

Probably not very high when it comes to believing in this “manifesting stuff”, right?

Well, what if it takes the Universe 3 months to line up the circumstances required to help you manifest an extra $500 to pay off that credit card?

That means for 3 months your belief levels are going down, and down, and down as more and more time passes.

This is bad.

See, in the second example the Universe has 5 chances to manifest SOMETHING to help you believe.

For example, what if the Universe can line up the circumstances to help you manifest a free iPhone 4s within 12 hours of you putting it on your wish list – with no “catches”?

Or what if it can help you lose 5lbs of fat very quickly – much quicker than any of the other things you asked for?

If this happens – such as for example lets say that you got a new iPhone 4s – what this does is that it helps to boost your BELIEF in the overall idea of being able to manifest your desires.

So manifesting the iPhone 4s now actually helps you to manifest the $500 you need to pay off your credit card even faster.

Meaning, manifesting the iPhone 4s boosts your belief and now maybe the Universe can help you manifest $500 in 1 week, instead of 3 months.

See what I mean?

So stop limiting yourself in your desires.  The Universe doesn’t not impose quotas of any kind on your wish list.

Ask for what you want.

If you decide that you really want something, then ask for it.  Don’t be scared to ask for what you want, because you think it will prevent you from getting something else you asked for first.

This is one of the best ways to get more of what you want faster.

I’ve been involved in various multi-level / network marketing companies, on and off for about 15 years now.

Although I’ve never really had any huge success with MLM’s long term in the past, I have always been able to produce some rather quick and exciting results in pretty much every network marketing company I have been a part of.

Where things have always seemed to have fallen apart for me is not in me not being able to do what was asked of me, but rather in being unable to duplicate myself.

Even when my social circle was very small and long before I ever had a Blog, I was always somehow able to start off quick and attract 5 or 10 or 20 people into the network marketing company I was part of.

However, by some miracle I always seemed to recruit people who – in their own words would say something along the lines of “I’m really serious about being successful here Paul, but I don’t know anyone who would be interested in something like this.  What do I do?”

This led me to believe that the primary challenge in all MLM’s is:

1. People don’t have a warm market (friends, family, acquaintances) who is interested in their product / business.
2. People don’t know how to prospect / generate leads to find people interested in their product / business.
3. The company they are a part of doesn’t provide good training in #2.

I’ve seen this in many different MLM’s for over 15 years.

Even today if do your research and look around on the Internet, you will find that everyone is promoting “Lead Generation” as the ultimate solution to MLM success.

Unlimited Leads – True Source of MLM Success?

I myself have spent the last three weeks or so researching all kinds of online lead generation strategies for generating leads for myself and as a way to teach my recruits to do the same.

One such system is called MLSP and so far I really like the method of lead generation it utilizes.

It shows you a way to generate leads by offering free training webinars to people struggling to find leads for their network marketing businesses and it helps you build a relationship with those leads long before you ever ask them to join your MLM opportunity.

It also gives you the opportunity to make money and get paid for every lead you bring into the system even if they never join your MLM opportunity.

But is the lack of leads the real cause of failure in MLM’s?

No, I don’t believe it is.

The Real Reason People Fail in MLM / Network Marketing Companies

After 15 years of believing the “I don’t have enough leads” excuse, I have come to realize the following…

• Success in network marketing has nothing to do with having a “warm market”, as there are plenty of people who have succeed without one
• Success in network marketing has nothing to do with having a “warm market”, as there are plenty of people who have a warm market and don’t succeed
• Success in network marketing has nothing to do with having a “lead generation system”, as there are plenty of people who have succeeded without one
• Success in network marketing has nothing to do with having a “lead generation system”, as there are plenty of people who have one and don’t succeed

In reality there is only one real main reason why people fail to succeed in MLM / Network Marketing.

That reason is simply having the wrong mindset.

That’s it.

Mindset is the key.

A person with the right mindset and no warm market will succeed.

A person with the wrong mindset and an awesome warm market will fail.

A person with the right mindset and no lead generation system will succeed.

A person with the wrong mindset and a lead generation system will fail.

Examples of the Wrong Mindset

I’ll give some examples of what I mean by having the wrong mindset.

I will use slightly modified examples from real conversations I’ve had with some of the 50+ recruits I have in my Lifewave business and some of the 80+ affiliates I have in my GIN business.

I’m very well aware that some of those recruits will be reading this post, and some of them might be horrified when they see what I write here as they’re going to think I’m quoting exact conversations I had with them specifically.

If that is you, let me assure you that what I’m writing about here is stuff I hear ALL THE TIME.  Meaning, everyone with the wrong mindset says the exact same things to me.

So I’m not quoting your conversation with me.  I’m quoting the same conversation I’ve heard from a LOT of other people in the recent while and some of it going back 15 years.

Example #1 – The Non Believer

Recruit: “I spoke to a friend about the Lifewave patches today but they are not interested.”
Paul: “Have you tried the patches yourself yet?”
Recruit: “Oh yeah…”
Paul: “And what kind of results did you have?”
Recruit: “Oh I only tried them once so far.”
Paul: “And what kind of results did you have?”
Recruit: “Pretty good, but I have to try them more.”
Paul: “Why haven’t you tried them more?”
Recruit: “I am not sure if they work.”
Paul: “How can you be sure they work?”
Recruit: “Well that’s what I don’t know.”
Paul: “Have you watched the training videos on the site I sent you to which show you how to test the patches?”
Recruit: “No.”
Paul: “Why not?”
Recruit: “I haven’t had time.”
Paul: “When will you have time?”
Recruit: “I’m not sure.”
Paul: “Have you done anything else to try to learn how to use the patches properly?”
Recruit: “No, I’m not sure if they work.”
Paul: “How will you ever know if they work, if you don’t properly try them out?”
Recruit: “I don’t know.”

This is a typical conversation I’ve had with many people. They complain that their family / friends are not interested in hearing about the product they are selling. Yet they themselves aren’t willing to learn about the product they are selling.

The reason I have no problem attracting people to my Lifewave business is because I ** KNOW ** the product works. How do I know? Because I’ve done TESTING. On myself, on my wife, on my friends, on my family. Everyone who comes over to my house, gets the “Hey you wanna see something cool?” routine.

Ask my wife! If you come over to my house, you’re getting Lifewave patched baby! I think these patches are the most amazing thing EVER, and I want to share them with people!

Example #2 – I Don’t Have the Money

Recruit: “I don’t know anyone interested in these patches.”
Paul: “Have you ordered your patches yet?”
Recruit: “No, I don’t have the money.  My roof is leaking, I have no money for dog food, my credit cards are maxed, my kids are starving and the bank is about to foreclose on my house.”
Paul: “When will you have the money to order patches?”
Recruit: “I don’t know.”

- 1 week later -

Recruit’s Facebook Update: “Woo hooo!  Check out my new plasma screen TV.  The Superbowl is going to look awesome on this!”

I realize that many people are struggling financially and that is exactly why they’re looking for a home based opportunity to make some extra money.  However, what most people don’t realize is that in order to make money and to run a business, you MUST invest into your business.

Network Marketing / MLM companies have some of the lowest start-up costs of any type of business you could get into.  But it’s still an investment.

It may be $100 or $500 or $1,000.  Whatever the start-up costs are, they are NOTHING compared to starting a traditional brick-and-mortar business.

Recruit: “Yeah, but Paul I *really* don’t have the money.  You don’t understand.”
Paul: “I understand.  So when will you have the money?”
Recruit: “I don’t know.”
Paul: “Which package are you going to be ordering when you do have money?”
Recruit: “I don’t know.”
Paul: “How much will you need to get the package?”
Recruit: “I don’t know.”
Paul: “Are you studying the free company training I sent you in the meantime?”
Recruit: “No, I haven’t had time.”
Paul: “Why not?  Too busy watching the Super Bowl?” (OK, I didn’t actually say that.  I thought it though.  )

Seriously, money is NEVER the real problem.

Example #3 – I don’t know anyone.

Recruit: “My problem is that I don’t know anyone.”
Paul: “Do you have any siblings or family?”
Recruit: “Yeah, I have two brothers and two sisters, but they’re not interested.”
Paul: “Oh you spoke to them?”
Recruit: “No, but I know they’re not interested.”
Paul: “What are they not interested in?”
Recruit: “Joining an MLM.”
Paul: “Why would you want them to join an MLM?”
Recruit: “What do you mean?”
Paul: “Who said anything about asking them to join an MLM?”
Recruit: “Well isn’t that what I do?”
Paul: “Have you watched the training I sent you?”
Recruit: “No.”
Paul: “Have you tried the product?”
Recruit: “No, I haven’t had time.”
Paul: “So how do you know for sure the product really works?”
Recruit: “Well that’s the thing, I don’t know if it works.”
Paul: “So then why don’t you test it out and find out if it works?” (This typically leads back to Example #1)
Paul: “Do you have any aunts and uncles?”
Recruit: “Yes.”
Paul: “Do you have a realtor, an accountant, a best friend, a mechanic, a Yoga instructor, a chiropractor?”
Recruit: “Oh yeah, all of those.”
Paul: “Then you know people.  Do you know anyone who is currently in pain?”
Recruit: “Oh yeah, my Mom.”
Paul: “What kind of pain is she in?”
Recruit: “All kinds.  She has lower back pain, hip pain, arthritis and trouble sleeping.”
Paul: “Have you spoken to her about trying out the IceWave patches to see if they will help her with the pain?”
Recruit: “No, not yet.”
Paul: “When will you talk to her about it?”
Recruit: “I don’t think she would be interested.”
Paul: “She wouldn’t be interested in relieving her pain?”
Recruit: “No, no…I mean she wouldn’t be interested in joining an MLM – she’s old.”
Paul: “Who said anything about joining an MLM.  I’m just talking about helping her out with her pain using our product.”
Recruit: “Oh, yeah I haven’t had time to talk to her yet.”
Paul: “Does she have the pain right now?”
Recruit: “Oh yeah, every day…she can hardly sleep.”
Paul: “What were you doing before we got on the phone?”
Recruit: “I was just cleaning the fridge.”
Paul: “Your Mom is in pain.  You have a product that could potentially help her alleviate it.  And you’re busy cleaning the fridge?”

(Ok, once again I didn’t say that, but I should have.)

I mean seriously.  Am I from a different planet or something?  If your MOTHER is in pain, and you have a product that could potentially help her with that, is cleaning out the fridge really more important?

Seriously?  What am I missing?

The Right Mindset

I could go on and on with countless examples.  If you’ve ever been in any MLM I’m sure you’ve had recruits who have given you excuses like these, right?

In fact you may have had some of these excuses yourself.  I know I have!

So what’s the solution?

The solution is to develop the right mindset for MLM success.

The right mindset is responsible for 99% of your success in any MLM.  I don’t care what kind of product or service you’re selling, if you don’t have the right mindset – it’s game over.

So how do we develop the right mindset?

Want to hear the truth?

The truth is that most likely you will NOT develop the right mindset by listening to your Sponsor / Upline.

And yes that even includes me.

If I’m your Sponsor / Upline, I can’t teach you the right mindset yet.  And chances are that your current Sponsor / Upline can’t either.

Why not?

It’s very simple.  It’s because I haven’t yet BUILT a successful MLM business myself.

Even though I’ve been around MLM’s for 15 years, I only really started building my Lifewave and GIN businesses about a month ago.  I’m still very much a beginner.

I have had some success with recruiting people and starting to grow my organization, and I have already started to make some money with both my Lifewave and GIN businesses.

They are both turning a profit for me.  Meaning I’m making more money in the businesses than I am spending on products.

However, I’m not the one with the mindset you should be modeling.

Who you really should be modeling are the people who already have the proven mindset required for MLM / Network Marketing Success.

I’m not just talking about someone you find on the Internet who is making $10,000/m or even $100,000/m in their MLM.

I’m talking about people who have a long term, proven track record of succeeding in Network Marketing.

That doesn’t mean that you can’t learn things from your Sponsor or Upline.  Of course you can.

I can teach my people lots of things, but when it comes to having the right mindset to make BIG money in an MLM I can’t teach that yet.

I haven’t earned the right to do so yet.

The GIN Mindset Training

One of the HUGE and most important differences between how the Global Information Network is structured as compared to many other MLMs is in the way they do their training.

In a traditional MLM, a Sponsor teaches and trains his downline.

That downline then turns around and trains his downline.

That downline then turns around and trains his downline.

And so on.

Bob sponsors Bill and trains him.

Bill sponsors Cathy and trains her.

Cathy sponsors Terry and trains him.

Terry sponsors Joe and trains him.

What’s wrong with this?

Well, what’s wrong with this is that it is the BLIND teaching the BLIND.

Even if Bob has the right mindset for success because he already created success in his organization, Bill might not have that mindset.

Bob tried to teach it to him, but until Bill implements the training he doesn’t have the mindset.

He just has theory.

Bill then teaches this theory to Cathy – making some small changes along the way… leaving out some key components.

Cathy then teaches this theory to Terry and also leaves out some key components while at the same time adding in some of her own theories and ideas.

Terry then teaches this theory to Joe, once again making some minor “adjustments”.

Well guess what… Joe is now being taught the WRONG mindset.  He is not getting the same training that Bob offered Bill.

It’s been changed.  It’s been watered down.  It’s been altered.

This is what most MLM’s do.  They have the blind teaching the blind behind the guise of “being duplicatable”.

It sounds good in theory, but it doesn’t work!

The only person you can REALLY learn the right mindset from is from someone who is already achieving the things that you want to be achieving.

If you want to build a 6-figure MLM business, you need to be trained in the right mindset by someone who is already running a 6-figure MLM business.

Anyone else will just lead you down the wrong path – me included.

That is what I REALLY love about the Global Information Network (GIN).

When you become an affiliate in the GIN network you get access to mindset training from the VERY TOP.  You get access to Kevin Trudeau and some of the top leaders in GIN who have also built massive downlines in multiple MLM’s over the last 15-30 years.

You don’t have to rely on me or any other “Sponsor” or upline.

Even if I train you on 95% of the right mindset, it might not be enough.

The only way you will know for sure that you are being taught EVERYTHING you need properly is by learning from people who are achieving the results you are seeking.

A common saying in most MLM’s is “Plug into the system.”

The challenge is that a lot of times “The system” is wrong, because “The system” teaches you to get your training and especially mindset training from your upline / sponsor.

The reason for this is because for most companies that is the only way that training can be disseminated to everyone in the organization without everyone crowding around the top level people.

The challenge is that like I said before – this doesn’t work because the training is watered down and changed along the way.

What I like with GIN’s setup is that when you become an affiliate you plug into training DIRECTLY from the top.

My responsibility as your Sponsor / Upline is NOT to train you.  I’m not qualified to train you – yet.  And you’re not qualified to train your people – yet.

My responsibility is simply to work on MY business and to encourage you to plug into the training directly from the TOP.  That’s it.

Don’t listen to me.  Listen to the training coming from the top.  From the people in the company who have already built long term residual income streams in GIN and other MLMs.

But My Company Has Training

I know a lot of people say that their MLM has training put out by the people at the top.  They have a website with a bunch of videos teaching you all about the products and such.

For example, Lifewave has this type of training as well.

This type of training is NOT what I am referring to.

Product training from head office, or recordings from some company events and a few audios from some of the top guys in the companies is NOT ENOUGH.

Most company training programs like this barely scratch the surface of what’s needed.

What is really needed is a constant stream of ongoing MINDSET training from the top guys in the company that are producing results.

The training must not only focus on the product or service of the company, but on the MINDSET itself.

Mindset is 99% of the problem / solution to MLM / Network Marketing success.

GIN offers hundreds and hundreds of hours of training on Mindset.

There is also new additional training that is being added weekly.

No other company has this caliber of training.

My Recommendation

I strongly recommend that ANYONE interested in having success in their MLM become a member of the Global Information Network and utilize the GIN mindset training to help them succeed.

You don’t have to participate in the GIN affiliate side of the business if you don’t want to.

The GIN affiliate program is not for everyone.  I totally understand that.

However, the GIN Mindset training is second to none.  It will help you with whatever MLM / Network marketing business you’re a part of.

Learn your mindset from GIN and apply it to your MLM.

This is exactly what I’m doing with my Lifewave business.

Lifewave has an awesome product.  They also have awesome product training.

But they don’t have anywhere near the quality or quantity of mindset training that GIN does.

No other MLM company out there does.

December Special in GIN

For the month of December, GIN is currently running a special offer.

They are offering people an opportunity to test-drive the GIN system for 12 full months before you have to pay the $1,500 initiation fees.

Normally the initiation fees are paid up front, and then you pay a $150/month membership fee, but for the month of December they are letting people get into the system and defer the initiation fee for 12 months.

That means all you need to pay to get started is the $150/m membership fees and you have a whole year to decide if this is for you.

If at any point in time during the year you decide that GIN is not for you, you can cancel your membership and never pay the initiation fee.

They are doing this because they know that once you experience the benefits of the Global Information Network, you’ll really see the value they provide and you’ll want to stay.

They also know that if you listen to the training, you should have no problem manifesting the $1,500 initiation fee within a year.  It only took me a few weeks to manifest mine.

If you’re interested in joining the Global Information Network, you can use my private invitation link:

http://www.paulymath.com/go/gin

My affiliate invitation code is “paulymath” if it ever asks you for that.

If you’re not 100% sure if GIN is for you, I highly recommend getting access to “Your Wish is Your Command” – the 13 disc audio series put out by GIN which teaches you how to manifest your desires.

If you like that training course you’ll LOVE what’s waiting for you inside as a GIN member.

To get access to “Your Wish is Your Command” as well as about 25 hours of additional training from GIN free of charge, follow these steps:

(1) Go to this link: http://www.paulymath.com/go/gin
(2) Fill out the application form there and click “Continue”.
(3) On the next page select the “Affiliate” option. This will allow you to sign up to get access to some of the free training put out by the Global Information Network.
(4) Continue on the next few steps to complete the registration.

One month ago I became a Global Information Network member.

Around the same time I also became a Lifewave distributor.

One thing most network marketing “Uplines” will tell you is that you don’t want to join more than one network marketing company at one time.

They’ll try to convince you that you need to just focus on one opportunity and build that out exclusively.

Sound familiar?

For the average person, that is awesome advice.  Most people *should* focus on one thing and do nothing but that one thing.  But that’s because most people are not scanners.

As a scanner type personality though, I choose otherwise.

I chose to join and build out TWO network marketing companies at the same time.

Sorry, but that’s just who I am.  I’m not going to take my biggest strength (being a scanner) and have anyone convince me that it is a weakness.

In fact, after one month of being in these two companies I’m already seeing some awesome benefits of being involved in two MLM’s and not just one.

Before I dive into some of those benefits, I just want to share some of my results after just one month of being in each company.

Global Information Network

After one month or so, this is what my GIN Business looks like so far.

The big blue dot in the middle represents me.

The 58 slightly smaller green dots represent all the people I’ve signed up so far as affiliates.

The 8 blue dots represent the 8 people that have signed up as GIN members.

And finally the 12 smallest green dots represent people that my Team Paulymath Members / Affiliates signed up so far.

That’s a total of 78 people so far in my GIN business.

And that’s all done part-time.

Lifewave

This is what my Lifewave business looks like after one month.

I’ve got 56 distributors in my business, which includes the 18 people I signed up myself and the 38 people my upline signed for me.

The actual hierarchy of my Lifewave business is not exactly like this, but it’s too complicated to draw it out with with proper hierarchy relationships so I just made a graphic that shows the number.

So far I’m pretty happy with the results I’ve gotten in both companies.

Insights After One Month

Considering that I’ve been in both companies for only about a month or so, and also taking into account the fact that I’m only working on these businesses part time (10-15hrs/week), I’m pretty happy with my results so far.

However, even as a scanner type personality I have to say that if you’re going to be getting involved with more than one network marketing company at a time – you MUST choose your companies very carefully.

In fact I would say that in most cases, trying to build more than one network marketing company at one time – even for a scanner – is not recommended.

The main reason why I think it has been working for me is because both of these companies are so synergistically aligned.

I love Lifewave because they have such an amazing product and anyone interested in more energy, health, weight loss, anti-aging, or pain relief without the use of drugs or pharmaceuticals is a potential client.

That’s a HUGE market.

I love GIN because their success training is the best I have ever seen – anywhere – and it has produced results FAST, not just for me but for pretty much everyone I have shared it with.

The two companies fit in so synergistically for me because GIN produces a product for the mind (success training) and Lifewave produces a product for the body (natural health).

So the two fit perfectly.

Also, my distributors in Lifewave who are also GIN members are benefiting from the success training in GIN to also help them with their Lifewave business.

And of course as a GIN member myself, I’m utilizing the Lifewave Energy Enhancer patches to help me have the daily energy I need to grow my GIN business.

It’s a win / win.

Hidden Benefits of Being in Two MLM’s at Once

I have never been a part of two Network Marketing companies at the same time before.

This is the first time I have ever attempted to do this.

And I have discovered a somewhat unexpected benefit from doing this.

See, when you start building a network marketing business – or any business for that matter – you will eventually run into some challenges.

There’s no such thing as a business that just produces instant results without any obstacles.

There are always going to be obstacles in any business you run, and that’s a good thing.  Obstacles or challenges that come up help us grow and through that growth we prosper.

However, one of the challenges that sometimes comes up when you hit a “brick wall” in a business, is being able to discern whether the “brick wall” you’re running into is a flaw in the business model you’re a part of or if it’s some kind of internal shift within yourself that needs to happen.

Let me give you an example of what I mean by this.

Let’s say you join a network marketing company, and you start to build things up and after a while you realize that you’re running into an obstacle.

Let’s just call whatever this obstacle may be – obstacle X.

Now the question is, how do you know if obstacle X is actually a “flaw” with the particular network marketing company you’re a part of, or if it’s just something that YOU are manifesting in your reality?

Well, for me being a part of both GIN and Lifewave has made that abundantly clear.

I have run into a few challenges already and right away I could tell that it’s not a flaw in either company because I was seeing the same problem in both places.

In this way, the two opportunities have been acting like mirrors for me.

If my Lifewave team and my GIN team are running into the same challenges, then it most likely isn’t Lifewave or GIN at fault.  It’s us.

Access to this “awareness” has been great because most people who fail in any network marketing opportunity leave that opportunity blaming the company they were a part of for their failure.

In this situation, by being a part of both companies, it’s hard to blame the companies for any challenges you run into if you’re seeing the same challenges in both places.

This awareness forces you to look at YOURSELF as the source of the challenge and helps you to take 100% responsibility for owning it and solving the challenge.

It has helped me tremendously already.

Looking for Scanners

If you’re a scanner type personality and you are interested in building a home based business and earning a long term residual income stream for yourself and your family, I want to connect with you.

Hit me up on my Blog here, Facebook, Skype or email me and I’d love to connect, chat and see if GIN and/or Lifewave is for you.

I’m still just getting started, but I’m pretty happy with my results so far – especially considering that this is just a “part time thing” for me right now.

I believe that starting a network marketing business with the right company is one of the greatest business opportunities on the planet today.

Coming from an Internet Marketer who just two years ago thought that network marketing was a dead business model in a post-Internet world – that says a lot.

Let me explain why.

My History With Network Marketing in a Nutshell

My first experience with a network marketing (also known as multi-level marketing or MLM) company was in 1998.

At that time I was working a 9-5 job I hated at a company that sucked.  I liked many of my co-workers there, but the company itself sucked.

So I started working with my first network marketing company part time.

The atmosphere at that company was amazing.  Nothing but positive energy, support and enthusiasm.  This was a huge contrast to my day job.

So shortly thereafter I quit my day job and decided to do network marketing full time.

This was also when I first started to get into personal development.  Everyone I knew in the network marketing circles, was reading books.

I learned a lot of new skills, met a lot of people and developed my confidence as an entrepreneur.

However, after two years of trying to make the business work I found myself on the verge of bankruptcy and I had to quit.

Unfortunately at the time, this particular network marketing company did not offer the ability for a person to do the business part time, so there was no way for me to do it part time.

I decided to quit and get a “real” job so that I could pay my bills.

That was my first departure from the network marketing world back in 1999.

From the network marketing world I went into the corporate world and began working for and then eventually running several companies.

I always knew that the majority of my success in the corporate world came directly from all the skill and confidence I built as an entrepreneur while working for that first network marketing company.

By 2008/2009 I decided to leave the corporate world to pursue running my own Internet based business from home.

At the same time though, two other network marketing opportunities presented themselves to me.

One of them was with the very same company I used to work for back in 1999.  I actually joined that company again and saw some very quick success almost immediately.

The second one was with another network marketing company promoting a health related product.

Although I liked the energy behind both companies, there was something HUGE that I found missing.

Network Marketing Without the Interwebz

Both of the companies that I was a part of in 2009 had one very important missing piece to them.

Both of them had absolutely no clue what they were doing in terms of having an Internet strategy.

They were both still trying to teach and use the exact same marketing strategies that have been around since the 1970′s and 1980′s.

You know what I’m referring to right?

Join the company, make a list of 25 friends and family members that you know and then go pounding on their doors to try to “convince” them to join your business.

Marketing scripts that say that this is an opportunity for everyone and that anyone can make a six-figure income simply by signing up.

If you’ve ever been in any network marketing company, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about.

The challenge is that those types of marketing strategies don’t work!

They didn’t work in 1999 and they sure as hell weren’t going to work in 2009! (or 2011 for that matter)

I guess I shouldn’t say that.  Maybe they DO work for some people.  But they don’t work for me.

Trying to build a network marketing business ONLY from a “25 name list” is retarded.

I’m sorry, but it is.

The truth is that your friends and family are probably NOT interested in joining your network marketing business.

They may be interested in the product, if the product is good, but chances are that they are probably not interested in the business.

To build a successful network marketing company today in 2011, you need to go beyond  your friends and family.

In order to build a successful network marketing company I believe you need to embrace and utilize the Internet to help you build it.

The challenge is that most network marketing companies today FORBID you from marketing your business online.

That is exactly why I quit the two network marketing companies I was a part of in 2009.

I found out that I wasn’t even allowed to MENTION their names on my Blog.  I wasn’t allowed to share any testimonials or success stories of how the products or services have worked for me or my friends.

I wasn’t allowed to even put a banner on my site and link to the company’s website.

I wasn’t allowed to talk about the companies on Twitter or Facebook.

How stupid is that!?

The challenge is that a lot of the network marketing companies that are around today are ran by people who built massive MLM hierarchy’s back in the 1970′s and 1980′s – long before the Internet was around.

So most of them think that the best way to build a company is the same way they built it.

May of them still push and promote marketing strategies and scripts that they used in the 1980′s.

Strategies like making a list of your friends and family members, and then writing them a letter to tell them you’re excited about a new business opportunity and then mailing it to them.

A letter!? WTF?!

Who writes letters to their friends and family in 2011?!  Seriously?  A letter?

Ever heard of email?  Twitter?  Facebook?  Text Messaging?

That is why I quit those two marketing companies back in 2009.  Their marketing strategies were PREHISTORIC.  There’s now way I could see myself building a business based on marketing strategies from the 1970′s or 1980′s.

My Search for an Enlightened Network Marketing Company

After quitting those two companies I went looking for another network marketing company to join that embraced the Internet and all the amazing communication methods we now have at our disposal, instead of BANNING any Internet based marketing efforts.

I searched and I searched but was disappointed.

All I could find was companies that either had crappy / scammy products that I would never promote, or companies with decent products but who once again had a very specific “No Internet Marketing Allowed” clause in their contracts.

That is when I realized and thought that network marketing was dead.

Any business model that doesn’t embrace the Internet in today’s market isn’t going to survive – no way.

I just don’t see how.

So I gave up looking.  I thought to myself… “It’s a shame… network marketing has so many positive aspects to it.  I’d love to be a part of a network marketing company again and to build a solid long-term residual income.  However, I just don’t see how I could be a part of any company that treats the Internet like it’s ugly step-sister.  Companies need to embrace the Internet, not ban it as a means of marketing.  It’s not the 1980′s anymore… oh well.”

Enter GIN and Lifewave

More than two years later after I pretty much gave up on network marketing, two companies who DO embrace the Internet showed up in my life.

The first is the Global Information Network (GIN).  Great company, awesome product and they fully embrace the Internet as a marketing platform.

One of the awesome things I really like about being a GIN Member is that you get to network and interact with other like-minded people.

As soon as I got involved with GIN I was approached by someone who is part of a network marketing company named Lifewave.

At first I felt very skeptical about the company and their product as it seemed way too good to be true, but then I found out that the products really work.

I shared my story of that in my previous Blog post.

So now I am a part of not one, but two network marketing companies who I believe offer amazing products.  What’s even more exciting is that the products complement each other.

GIN’s product is access to exclusive success training, tools and resources to help you succeed in all areas of life.

Lifewave’s product is a set of natural, non-transdermal patches that stimulate the body’s acupressure points to provide benefits such as energy enhancement, pain relief, anti-aging, weight loss,  stress relief and more.

Why Network Marketing

So why do I think Network Marketing with the right company is one of the greatest business opportunities on the planet today?

There are so many reasons.

Compounding

Firstly, you can’t argue with the power of compound marketing.

Network marketing companies utilize a concept called compound marketing to distribute their products.

Compound marketing is very similar to viral marketing which most of us are familiar with in today’s Internet age.

The concept behind compound marketing is that you essentially just focus on building a core team of distributors that you work with in the company.

Let’s say that you recruit, train and develop just 5 leaders in your business.

If trained properly, those leaders will understand that the power in network marketing comes from duplication, so they will go out and train 5 leaders each themselves.

That is where the power of compounding starts to come into effect.

Imagine if you brought in 5 leaders, who then went out and got 5 leaders each themselves.  That would mean that you would now have 30 leaders in your company – 5 who you brought in yourself, and 25 who were brought in by those leaders.

Now, imagine of those 25 new leaders also brought in 5 people each.  That would now mean you would have an organization of 155 leaders.

5 at your first level.

25 at your second level.

125 at your third level.

Of course this is a very simplified model of how it works.  Not every person you bring into a business is going to become a leader, and not all leaders will be able to bring in 5 leaders each.  Some will bring in less, and some will bring in more.

However, the point is that compounding is a HUGE benefit to network marketing.

No other business model allows you to tap into this massive benefit of compounding.

Awesome Products

Not all, but many network marketing companies make awesome products.

The reason for this is because network marketing companies have two characteristics:

1. They invest a lot of money into product development, rather than on expensive marketing.
2. They rely on word-of-mouth / network marketing to promote their product so their product has to be great.

In order to even have a chance of success, network marketing companies have to create products that aren’t just good – but great!

Good products that are just slightly better than another similar product get sold at major store retailers.

Network marketing companies must create AMAZING products in order for them to have a chance in succeeding through word of mouth / network marketing.

Think about it… there is no way that people will recommend and share a product with their family, friends and everyone else they know if the product SUCKS or if it’s just MEDIOCRE.

In order for people to want to share a product with someone, it has to be GREAT.

That is why many successful network marketing companies have amazing products behind them.  If the product they developed was just mediocre, it would never spread through world-of-mouth / network marketing.

Awesome, Positive, Entrepreneurial Minded People and Support

Unlike most other business structures, network marketing companies typically attract positive, entrepreneurial minded people into their ranks.

Negative, employee mentality type people who walk through life feeling “owed” never succeed in network marketing companies.

Being a part of the right network marketing company can have a huge positive impact on your life.

You can get access to successful people, mentors and leaders who you would typically never get access to in a typical corporate structure.

Many network marketing companies have compensation structures setup in such a way where the people who came into the company before you, have a vested interest in seeing your succeed.

For example, the person who brought me into Lifewave would love nothing more than to see me succeed within the company because he has a very real and tangible financial interest in that happening.

He doesn’t care if I “take his job” or even blow past him.  If I surpass his “level” in the company, he doesn’t care – because it helps him!

In a typical corporate structure you don’t have that.  The people “above” you have a vested interest in keeping you “below” them.

The only time the guy “above” you in a corporation wants to see you move up, is AFTER he gets a promotion himself and in order to get promoted he first needs to train a replacement.

So in a typical corporate structure, your ambitions are always being stifled by the people above you.  That’s just how the structure is set up.

In network marketing companies, the whole structure is setup backwards from that.  The BETTER the people “below” you do, the better YOU DO.  Not the other way around.

That means that the minute you join a network marketing company, EVERYONE “above” you in your “upline” wants to see you succeed!

If I was to sponsor you into my Lifewave business, for example, I would want nothing more than to help you succeed.  Which is actually exactly what I’m doing with everyone I sponsor!

Connecting to a Mission

There are many other benefits to being a part of a network marketing company.

Too many to cover in this Blog post.

But the one that I’m most excited about is connecting to and being part of a mission.

If you can find a network marketing company with a product or service that you feel will change the world – it can be a very fulfilling and exciting part of your life!

For example, one of the reasons I’m so excited about Lifewave is because I understand that their products can change the world.

For example, I’ve seen people who have had long-term daily pain in their bodies have it disappear in a matter of minutes using the company’s IceWave product.

What’s even more exciting to me is that this was done without putting any drugs, or chemicals or pharmaceuticals into their bodies.  In fact, nothing was put into their bodies.  The patches are non-transdermal, which means that nothing goes into the body.

The patches work by communicating with and balancing the body’s natural energy / communication network.

I realize that when most people first hear this they will probably be thinking “what the heck does that even mean?”

That was my reaction when I first heard about these as well.  However, after researching and trying these out myself – I know they work.

And one of my favorite things in life right now is sharing that same experience with other people.

There’s just something magical and amazing that happens to people when you place these patches on them, and they feel them working.

Also, every day as I do more and more research and read all the studies and watch all the training videos that the company has put together I’m growing more and more excited about this product.

I truly believe this product is going to change the world.

There’s nothing else like it on the market.

I also feel the same way about the Global Information Network.  They have a great product and I think it’s going to change the world.

This is the type of thing you can connect to when being part of a network marketing company.

If you choose the right one, you can really get inspired and become part of something that is greater than yourself.

I’m excited about sharing the awesome products that Lifewave and GIN have to offer the world and I’m also super excited about helping other entrepreneurial minded people like myself to create success in their lives doing the same thing.

I have already started to work with a small, core team of entrepreneurial minded people and mentoring them on being successful within Lifewave.

That is why I do this.

It’s so much fun!

Paul’s Network Marketing Checklist

Not all network marketing companies are created equal.

You have to pick the right one for you.

Here’s my little checklist of what I believe to be very important things to consider when choosing a network marketing company to work with:

1. Product Must Be Unique & Awesome – Probably the most important thing I look for is that the product has to be great.  I won’t join an MLM/Network Marketing company if I don’t believe in their product.  For example, there are quite a few nutritional supplement companies on the market right now which are producing what I would consider “sub-par” products.  They are products that I would never use myself if I wasn’t a part of that company – therefore how can I possibly feel good about promoting the product.  The product MUST be 100% awesome and it has to be unique.  I won’t work with a network marketing company who has the same type of product as 20 other companies, and which tries to differentiate itself simply by saying “We have a better compensation structure” or “We have a better system”.  The product must be awesome.
2. Product Must Be Long Term Consumable – I always look for companies with a product that is consumable.  If you are selling a consumable product, it means that there will always be residual income you can count on for a long time.  If the product is something that a consumer just buys once, it’s going to be very difficult to build any residual income.  Also if the product is “short term”, it won’t work either.  What do I mean by “short term”?  Well let’s say for example you were part of an MLM that sold a cream which helps people to get rid of eczema.  They put on the cream, for a week, and the eczema goes away.  Success.  Guess what?  Now you’ve got to go find another customer.  Short term products don’t work in this structure.
3. Company Must be Internet Friendly- Read your distributor agreement.  Don’t assume just because all the other people in the company are promoting themselves on Facebook or on their website – that the company actually allows it.  Most distributors in MLM’s don’t realize that the agreement they signed doesn’t allow them to market themselves online.  They break the agreement without realizing it.  The company might not enforce that policy today, while the distributor is small, but one day they might.  Why would you want to waste all this time building a business with a company who’s agreement you’re breaking from day one!?  It’s just a ticking time bomb.Read the distributor agreement and make sure you’re working with a company that is OK with Internet marketing.  If they’re not, find one that is.  You’re wasting your time if you’re working with a company that doesn’t allow Internet marketing.  Incidentally a “replicated website” is NOT what I’m referring to when I say “Internet Friendly”.  All MLM’s nowadays offer you a replicated website.  Those are mostly useless.  That is not what I’m referring to.  Are you allowed to write Blog posts, make YouTube videos and promote your business online?  Find out.
4. Get in at the Ground Floor- I usually won’t join network marketing companies that have been around for over a decade or that are so successful that everyone has already heard of them.  If you waited THAT long to join the company, chances are the opportunity is probably already tapped out.  You want to find a company that is just starting to take off marketing wise.  Notice I didn’t say a company that is just starting out product wise.You want to find a company that has an already established and tested product, with lots of endorsements and testimonials, but one that hasn’t yet hit critical mass with their marketing efforts.
5. Solid Leadership – Find a company that has good leadership behind them.  People who share the same values that you do.  Is the company all just about money, or are they creating a product that will be truly beneficial for the world?
6. Solid Sponsor / Upline- In a lot of ways, your sponsor / upline can be the difference between success and failure in network marketing.  I have personally experienced the difference between being part of a team with a solid sponsor / upline, versus working being sponsored by someone who has no clue what they’re doing.It really makes a difference.  It doesn’t matter if your sponsor / upline is brand new in the business.  That in itself doesn’t mean that they are not a good sponsor.  Other things matter.  Are they positive?  Are they successful people?  Do they inspire and uplift people or are they “Negatrons”?  Are they only in it for the money, or do they believe in the product they are promoting?  Are they leaders?  Can they help you become successful?

These are the main 6 things I look at when choosing a network marketing / MLM company to work with.

That is also why I’m super excited about GIN and Lifewave.  They are both companies that fit in with all of the criteria I mentioned above.

I’m still looking for a few more positive, entrepreneurial minded people who would be interested in joining me and building a GIN and/or Lifewave business with me.

And no harassing of your friends and family is required!

If that sounds like something you might be interested in finding out more information about, please contact me today.

Late last night I had an amazing experience with the Icewave patches from Lifewave.

Even though it was 3am in the morning and I was super tired and ready to go to bed, I decided to pull out the camera and shoot a quick video to capture my excitement.

Looking For Three More People

I’m looking for three more people to personally mentor as part of my Lifewave team and to build this business out with me.

If you’re serious about building a long-term recurring income stream, I want to work with you as part of my team.

Here’s what I can bring to the table:

• Business mentoring and coaching (I normally charge $95/hour for this)
• PSYCH-K Balances to bust through any limiting beliefs – conscious or unconscious you may have about growing your Lifewave business (I normally charge $190/session for this)
• Matrix Energetics practitioner (I normally charge $190/session for this)
• Law of Attraction coaching / mentoring (I normally charge $95/hour for this)
• Connections and mentoring from top level Lifewave distributors who are exploding their businesses right now
• ALL OF THIS FREE!  IF YOU DON’T SUCCEED, I DON’T GET PAID!

If you’d like to be one of these three more people I’m looking to mentor, I will do everything in my power to help you succeed as a Lifewave distributor.

But I only have three more spots left, so hurry.

Contact me if this is you.

Ever have one of those moments in your life where an opportunity comes along, that you weren’t necessarily looking for, and you just can’t stop thinking about it?

About three weeks ago such an opportunity landed in my lap.

Normally when I come across something this interesting I almost always share it on my Blog right away.

However, in this particular case, because of the nature of the company and the product that it produces, I wanted to be totally sure that the product actually worked before talking about it on my Blog.

Let me explain why.

Lifewave Patches

When Gregory – a reader of this Blog – first contacted me three weeks ago, he told me about an incredible product that he has been having amazing success with in my home country of Poland.

The product is actually an American made product, but he is a distributor in Poland looking to expand his reach here in Canada and North America.

At first I didn’t really understand what this product he was talking about really was or how it worked, but I must say that my intuition was signaling me to definitely look into it.

So even though I was Uninterested at first, something about this company, it’s product and Gregory’s energy caught my attention and I decided to look further.

So I decided to look into the product that he was selling.

Lifewave patches are based on a brand new technology that synergistically  works with our bodies – instead of against them – to provide a variety of very impressive benefits ranging from pain relief, to weight loss, to anti-aging and a lot more.

What’s even more amazing about this product is that it accomplishes this without putting anything INTO the body.

Meaning, the patches that you place on your body are non-transdermal… which basically just means that they DO NOT put any kind of chemical or pharmaceutical or anything else INTO the body.

Nothing gets transferred from the patch placed on the skin into the body.

Instead, the patches work on a brand new energy based technology that instead signals the body to produce these results similarly to acupuncture or acupressure but without the need for needles.

Skepticism

When I first started looking into this line of products in more depth, I was instantly skeptical.

I mean the company advertises that they have products that improve energy, offer pain relief, better sleep, weight loss and anti-aging!

I mean any one of those industries is a multi-billion, if not trillion dollar industry!

And this company has products for all of these?  Cmon…

I went from being Uninterested to being highly Skeptical.

And that’s exactly what I told Gregory – my new friend from Poland.

So what did Gregory do?

Well, he put me it touch with a guy named Mark who lives in Florida and who has been with Lifewave for like 7 years or so and basically let me interrogate the guy.

For two and a half hours I threw all kinds of questions at Mark and listened to him sharing his story and intimate details about the product and company.

Right off the bat I knew I was talking to someone who KNOWS what he’s talking about when it comes to natural health, nutrition, personal training and marketing.

Mark’s been in these industries since before I was in diapers.

My skepticism turned into excitement as Mark explained to me in simple, step-by-step terms how the product worked.

Proof

After my call with Mark, I was excited.

My skeptical questions were answered and then some.

I saw the vision behind this company and product and I more-on-less understood how the product is able to produce the results that it does.

I’m no bio-engineer or cellular biologist or anything, but I do understand the basics of human biology and nutrition and how cells work and communicate with each other.

I went from being skeptical to being open minded and even excited, but I still wanted proof.  I wanted to try the product myself so that I can see and feel it working.

I told Mark that if I actually test out this product and it actually works for me like it has for so many others, I would jump all over this opportunity.

Working in the corporate world for 15 years I’ve seen some big opportunities come and go, but this is HUGE.

Mark saw my enthusiasm and agreed to send me some product samples while I agreed to do my due diligence and research on the company and product.

Research

David Bekham and Olympic Swimmers w/ Lifewave Patches On

I spent the next few weeks doing extensive research on the product, the company and all the studies that they’ve been doing to prove the effectiveness of their product.

I’ve looked into a lot of different natural products in the past but I’ve never seen one this well documented, researched and proven with clinical studies and tonnes of testimonials.

I mean this company has enough testimonials to make your head spin from professional athletes to celebrities to doctors to scientists and more.

If testimonials are not enough for you, the company also has extensive published clinical studies on the effectiveness of their products.

Jumping In

As I waited for the samples that Mark sent me to arrive, I decided to jump in and get involved with the company as I conducted my research.

Lifewave distributes it’s product through a network-marketing affiliate commission structure which perfectly aligns with how I like to do business.

I love being an affiliate and when I find a product that I can get excited about – I want to jump in with both feet.

What’s more is that unlike most of the other affiliate marketing opportunities I get involved with, Lifewave is based on a binary network marketing structure that encourages team-building and provides me with the potential to build a long-term residual income stream from this business.

I’ve done a lot of affiliate marketing over the last few years, but in all of those opportunities I only made money for as long as I was actively bringing on new leads and clients for them.

As soon as I stopped actively promoting, I stopped making money – which really sucks.

With Lifewave, however,  anyone who becomes a distributor in the company has the opportunity to build a long-term residual income stream that can continue to make them money for years and years.

Trying Out the Product

Two days ago my product samples from Mark finally arrived and my wife and I tried them out.

We started with the Icewave patches that relieve inflammation and pain in the body.

Since I have no pain in my body, we used my wife as a guinea pig.

She has a sore upper back injury that’s been really bothering her for the last few weeks, caused by an accident she was in a few years back.

As per Mark’s instructions, I asked her to rate her level of pain on a scale of 0 to 10 with 0 being no pain at all and 10 being excruciating pain.

She rated her pain level at about 4-5 out of 10.  So let’s say 4.5/10.

I then followed the instructions as explained to me by Mark and the product brochure to apply the Icewave patches to my wife’s back.

Within about 2-3 minutes my wife reported that her pain was now virtually gone.

She basically said “Ok, that’s weird…the pain is gone.  I’m sold!”

I asked her “What would you rate the pain at now on a scale of 0 to 10?”

She said basically either 0 or 0.5.  There was a tiny little bit of pain still there if she lifted her arm and positioned it in a specific way, but the dull-aching 4.5/10 pain that was there before was now gone.

I was impressed.

In fact I was so impressed, I jumped on my computer and immediately became an active distributor in the company and ordered a batch of product.

Later on that night we also decided to try out the Silent Nights product the company produces.

It essentially helps you get a better, more restful sleep.

My wife has been having problems sleeping, especially after her accident so this was a perfect test.

We stuck the patch on and my wife went to bed.

Within just a few minutes, she reported feeling extremely relaxed which is highly unusual for her when going to bed.

Even if she’s really tired she’ll go to bed and have trouble falling asleep.  This wasn’t the case yesterday.

All I can say is that we’re sold on the products.

Personally, I’m excited about and waiting to receive my order of the Energy Enhancer patches – which is one product that Mark was not able to send me a sample of yet.

I don’t have pain in my body and I don’t have problems sleeping so I’m not as excited about these products as my wife is, but I’m really excited about trying out the Energy Enhacer patches.

The Energy Enhancer patches are actually the first set of patches the company developed and actually built the company on.

They have been used by professional athletes and every day people all around the world to produce more energy in the body, naturally and without the use of stimulants or chemicals.

Where to Get Lifewave Patches

You can learn about and order Lifewave patches from virtually anywhere in the world by going to my Lifewave distributor website here:

http://www.lifewavecanada.com

The retail prices on the products vary depending on where in the world you are ordering from and the quantity you decide to purchase, but you’re more or less looking at a cost similar to that of about a cup of coffee a day.

Lifewave patches carry a 100% Satisfaction Money Back Guarantee.

Wholesale Discount

Although you can order the product directly through my distributor site above at retail prices, I actually wouldn’t recommend doing that.

Instead, I would actually recommend becoming a “Distributor” with the company so that you can take advantage of discounted wholesale pricing for the products.

Now if I am a distributor and I would obviously make more money if you ordered this product from my site at retail pricing, then why am I telling you about the wholesale discount?

Well, because I don’t really care about the $20 or so profit I would make by retailing the product to you.

Instead I would much rather get you to sign up as a “Distributor” and hook you up with discounted wholesale pricing on all your future orders, in exchange for one simple thing.

All I ask is that once you’ve had a chance to test out this product and it’s made a difference in your life – that you refer a couple people my way by telling them about the product.

This is not mandatory in any way, but it’s just a friendly request in exchange for hooking you up with the wholesale discount and sharing this product with you.

Gregory shared this product with me and I know it’s going to change my life.  It’s already changed my wife’s life.

So I want as many people as possible out there to hear about this product.  People who don’t read my Blog but who might suffer with back-aches, or sleeping problems, or who simply want more energy or the anti-aging benefits of these products.

You don’t have to bug anyone or try to sell anyone anything, but just share your success story with people if it comes up or they ask you about the patches.

If you don’t feel comfortable sharing this with anyone, that’s OK too… you can still get the wholesale discount.  No pressure at all.

To sign up as a “Distributor” so that you can get instant access to wholesale pricing simply follow these steps:

(1) Click on http://www.lifewavecanada.com .

(2) Click on “Sign Up” in the menu up top.

(3) Click “I Agree” on the following page and select your country of residence.

(4) Scroll through and select your desired package.  Please note that there are many different packages so choose your desired package carefully.

For example, if you wanted to start out with the Bronze Energy Enhancer Pack – here in Canada that package costs $99.95.

This will enroll you in the company as a distributor and send you your product, as well as your distributor kit, a DVD and whatever else is listed in the package.

Click “Continue”.

(5) On the next page enter in your New Distributor Information and create your account.  Continue through and complete the order.

From that point forward, when you order your next products, you will be able to purchase them at wholesale pricing which is typically at least 20% below retail.

* If at any point in the process you are asked to enter a Sponsor or Affiliate ID or code, my sponsor ID is 775657.  It should auto-tag you with that when you use my link on this page, but just in case it didn’t you will need to use that code.

Business Side?

As I mentioned before, Lifewave distributes it’s product through a network marketing model of distribution like a lot of other highly successful companies in the world.

What this means is that there is a business opportunity side to this company that you could get involved with.

Obviously this is not something that’s for everyone, but when you sign-up as a Distributor in the company and you purchase product you are automatically eligible to start earning commissions on anyone you refer to the company, or anyone who purchases product through your replicated retail store site.

Meaning, lets say that you purchase the product and realize that it is absolutely amazing.

And lets say that you want to share it with some of your friends who you know will benefit from this.

Perhaps you know someone who is a runner who could benefit from the Energy Enhancer patches.

Or perhaps you know someone who would be interested in the anti-aging benefits of the patches or someone who constantly suffers from chronic pain.

Well, you can actually start making a part time, or even potentially a full time income by telling people about this line of products.

If you’ve been looking for a business opportunity with a company that has a good product and an amazing compensation structure as well as a good leadership team, this is it!

I’ve been looking for a company like this for over 10 years.

What’s even more awesome is that if you do decide to look into the business side of this company a bit more seriously, you would get the opportunity to work with me personally one-on-one as well as Mark and Gregory who are powerhouses  within this company.

Like I mentioned before…the business opportunity side of this company is not for everyone, but if it peaks your interest, don’t hesitate to email me with any questions you might have.

And if it’s not for you, that’s OK too, but definitely at least check out the products – and make sure you sign up as a Distributor so that you can save yourself some money by getting access to wholesale prices.

If you would like to get involved in the business side, simply follow the exact same instructions as above to become a Distributor and then contact me to let me know that you’d like my help building this business.

I’ll be glad to give you more information about the business and how you could potentially start making some part time or full time income with Lifewave.

This evening I officially became a GIN Member.

Earlier in the day I had gone out to the mailbox to find my very first cheque from GIN.

It wasn’t a cheque for signing up any affiliates or members or anything like that.

It was a $500 cheque for winning one of their weekly contests that they run for all affiliates and members.

My First Global Information Network Cheque

It’s always nice when you go to your mailbox and find a cheque.

It’s even nicer when you won the money for free, with very little effort.

I’m sure this will be the first of many cheques I hope to see from GIN in the near future.

Becoming a Member

Prior to running to the bank to deposit the cheque so that I can sign up as a member I decided to shoot a video sharing some insights.

I wanted to cover some of the insights I learned over the last few weeks as I worked on my Primary Chief Aim of manifesting my GIN Membership fees.

I have had quite a few people ask me questions about this over the phone so I figured it would be beneficial to make a video about it.

Also, I had already decided a few weeks ago that when I do finally sign up as a member I wanted to video tape myself signing up just so I have a record of it for the future.

This way when I become a multi-millionaire GIN member I’ll have a recording of the first day I signed up.

Post Video Review of Membership

Obviously as you saw in the video I only had a few seconds to click around the site once I upgraded to full membership.

Throughout the evening I’ve been going through and just looking at all the different stuff you get access to – and all I can say is HOLY CRAP, there is a LOT of stuff here!

I’m pretty sure I’m not allowed to reveal exactly what’s in here, but maybe I can alleviate some concerns.

One of the concerns I had prior to signing up is that I was a bit worried that the information in “Your Wish is Your Command” was the majority of value in being a Member.

Meaning, I was a bit worried that maybe by becoming a member there really wouldn’t be too much MORE you would get access to than you do just by listening to YWIYC.

After all “Your Wish is Your Command” is a pretty comprehensive program.

Ok, well let me alleviate that worry for you now.  There is a TONNE of information in here.  And I just keep discovering more!

And there is new updates being uploaded every week as well so I don’t think I’ll ever run out of new awesome information to listen to.

My second concern was that perhaps even if the there is a large quantity of information, that maybe it would lack in quality – or that perhaps all the titles would be stuff that I’m not interested in.

Well, after digging around the site for a few hours I have found that almost all of the information in here sparks my interest.

There’s just so much of it, that it would take me months if not years to listen to it all.

One of my “uplines” was nice enough to email me right after I signed up and to point me in the right direction to focus me on where I should start first.

I have just started listening to the next set of basic trainings for Level 1 Members.

It essentially picks up right where “Your Wish is Your Command” leaves off.

November Special Sign-up Offer

As I mentioned in the video, GIN is running a special offer right now for people who want to sign up as members.

They are now offering three payment options for membership:

1. Up front initiation fee of $1,000 plus $150/m membership fees.
2. $100/month initiation fees for 15 months ($1500 total) plus $150/m membership fees.
3. NEW! $150/m membership fees, and postpone your initiation fee ($1500) for 12 months.

So essentially the 3rd option that they are making available for this month of November 2011 ONLY is that you can actually postpone your initiation fee for a full 12 months.

That gives you a full year to test-drive the Level 1 membership and all it’s benefits, before paying the $1,500 initiation fee.

From my point of view, the way I see it is that you have a full year to use the teachings in GIN to manifest your initiation fees.  It only took me a few weeks so a full whole year shouldn’t be difficult if you give it an honest try.

If you’d like to sign-up as a member click here and use affiliate invitation code PAULYMATH if asked.

If you are already a GIN Affiliate, and you’d like to upgrade to a full member, simply click on the Upgrade Membership option in your GIN Left Menu Sidebar.

Remember to use affiliate code PAULYMATH if asked to be part of my team.

I’ve been sharing the “Your Wish is Your Command” audio series with a lot of people in the last few weeks.

I have also been following up with people a few days or weeks later to find out how they like the series and I realized something very interesting.

Kevin Trudeau talks about this concept in one of the free GIN Affiliate Training audios available to affiliates.

The concept is that of turning your CAR into “Success University”.

What does this mean?

Well, some of the people who I shared “Your Wish is Your Command” with have already listened to all 14 CD’s worth of audios.  That’s about 10-14hours of audio.

Other people are still stuck on trying to get through the first CD.

What’s the difference between the two?

The difference is WHERE they try to listen to the CD’s….

Those who have NOT listened to CD’s yet are saying this to me…

“Oh I listened to the first part of the first CD, and I absolutely love it, but I just haven’t been able to make any time to sit down and listen to the rest.  I’m hoping that maybe this weekend or next weekend I can make a few hours to listen to them.”

Sit down and listen?

This weekend or NEXT weekend?

Are you kidding me?!

Listen… NOBODY has any “extra” time to listen to 10-14hours of audio training in their lives.

We’ll never find 10-14 hours of uninterrupted time to just sit there and listen to the program while sitting on the couch.

That is a fantasy.

If that is how you think you’ll listen to “Your Wish is Your Command” or any other personal development audio’s, I guarantee it won’t work.

I’ll call you in 6 months and you’ll still be trying to “make time”.

There is only ONE way that you’re going to be able to get through the “Your Wish is Your Command” series and any other personal development audios you listen to.

And that is by turning YOUR CAR and your MP3 player into “Success University”.

That is the ONLY way that people are getting through this.

Turn off the car radio.  Don’t worry you won’t miss anything.  The same 25 songs they played yesterday will be the same ones you’ll hear today.

The same stupid jokes, and the same stupid commercials will always be there.

Turn off the radio and turn on a personal development audio.

If you have “Your Wish is Your Command”, start listening to that the next time you get in your car.

If you don’t have an MP3 player in the car, burn the audio’s onto CD’s if you don’t already have the CD Audios.

If you don’t have a radio in the car or CD player, use an MP3 player and wear headphones if you have to.

If you don’t have an MP3 player, go buy a cheap one…they’re so cheap now.

Car Success University

If it takes you 30 minutes to get to work each day, that means you have about 5 hours worth of “Success University” time just in driving to and from work each week.

If it takes you 15 minutes, then you have 2.5hours / week.

If you take transit, just use an MP3 player with headphones.

Turn every trip in your car into an opportunity to get through personal development materials.

With a 30 minute commute to work, that’s about 250 HOURS worth of training time you could be listening to each year.

That’s a lot of audio books you could be listening to!

Don’t be one of those people who knows the TOP 10 songs on the radio or what Lady Gaga’s latest single is, but who supposedly has “No time” to read inspirational personal development books.

Get the books on audio and listen in the car!

If you work out, listen while you work out!

Listen to the audios while doing dishes and convert “Chore Time” into “Learning how to attract wealth time”.

Being Prepared

The trick to turning your car into Success University is to prepare yourself.

Don’t wait until you’re about to head out the door to drive somewhere before thinking “Oh I guess I should have something to listen to.”

Prepare ahead of time.  Put your MP3 files onto an MP3 player for the car.

Or burn them onto CDs.

Or do whatever you need to do so that the next time you get into the car and turn on the engine, the audio just starts playing!

The other benefit of listening to inspirational audios in the car is that you won’t believe how much more pleasant the drive is.

You will feel inspired, more relaxed and traffic will be much lighter.  If you get held up at a red light, you won’t care as it will be an extra opportunity to listen to your audios for longer.

About the only downside to this method of learning is that you just might arrive at your destination and find yourself sitting in the car, not wanting to get out as you want to finish listening to the CD.
