3 Ways To Stop Creating Resistance

Be aware of what you are thinking and saying. Language creates reality. Are you unknowingly creating what you don’t want?

While I was observing an Opportunity Meeting, I noted three things about the presentation that were, what could be called, “resistance creators”.

Could you be doing something similar without realizing it?

First, the presentation included justifying statements from the presenter like - "Network Marketing isn't what you think it is” and - “It’s not a pyramid scheme” with the presenter proceeding to explain what he thought it was and why it wasn’t a pyramid scheme.

He then continued to overcome some of the “perceived objections” that people “supposedly” have about Network Marketing, such as its legality and so on...

The presenter also made comparing statements that included how the company... "Had the best products... and... is the number one company in its field... had the best compensation plan... etc."
At the end of this, one of the guests turned to me and said, "I didn't know there was anything illegal about Network Marketing? And what's a pyramid scheme?" "Also" He added, "I didn't know there were other companies doing the same thing. I’d like to check them out."

So what happened?

Well, the presenter on the stage had unknowingly created resistance and doubt by making justifying statements and overcoming resistance when there was none to be overcome. He was also comparing the company and its products when it was unnecessary to do so, and assumed his own fears were the fears of everyone else.

Do you find yourself doing this? Justifying, comparing or stating something when it doesn't need to be?

Do you unknowingly instill doubt into the minds of people you talk with and then wonder why they resist you?

Do you find yourself saying the above and other things like...?

"I know what you're thinking...""You're probably thinking...""Let me tell you why this is..."
I can guarantee 100% that people do not think what you think they think! In fact, your thinking can get in your way. Your doubt and fear actually creates their doubt and fear. It reveals itself in your words, your tonality and your bearing.

So what to do?

Awareness is the first step to change.

Awareness allows you to change your thinking.Changing your thinking will change what you say.Changing what you say will change the way people respond to you.Changing the way people respond to you will change your results for the benefit of both of you!

So think about this! At your meetings...

Instead of saying - "Network Marketing isn't what you think it is." Try saying - "For many of us in this room, Network Marketing is a wonderful way to have your own business because..." and list some generic advantages.

End by asking a question, such as - "How would it feel if you could do the same thing and receive extra income each month, feel fulfilled or even give up your dependency on having to work for someone?"

Instead of overcoming what you think might be resistance, which means you think you know what everyone is thinking - Just keep your thoughts to yourself and address anything that comes up later.

Instead of saying - "We have the best compensation plan” Say - "We have a generous compensation plan that rewards people well."

Then continue by asking - "Have you ever thought of starting your own full or part-time business so that you can create your own security and start taking care of yourself and your family once again?"

And how about this?

Instead of saying - "We have the best products - " Try- "We have proven natural products that are designed to keep people healthy by making up for the lack of nutrition in most people's diets... a deficiency that is causing so many people to die of cancer and other modern day diseases."

"Have you ever thought about having a healthier life, helping others have happy and healthier lives as well, and receiving an income for it at the same time?"

Can you feel the difference?

And you don't need to be involved in formal style presentations to use these ideas. Any time you're speaking with a potential business partner or customer, these ideas will help you get better results and a better response.

Language is an incredibly powerful tool. As you can see from this article, if you use language incorrectly you can cause all sorts of problems for yourself.

How Can You Make a Big Dream Come True?

I know many of you reading this have seen and been inspired by the movie "The Secret". So here is a great message from Rhonda Byrne, Creator of the movie, that fits perfectly into success tips for a network marketer.

How can you make a big dream come true?

You need to have one secret element, and when you have that secret element, nothing will get in your way. That element is an intense desire! You must desire something with all of your heart to manifest it. Often the difference between those who manifest something and those who do not, is the element of desire. When you have a burning desire for something you ignite a fire within you that attracts with an incredible force. The law of attraction is magnetically drawn to that intense fire element in you, and it responds by gathering all universal forces to make your dream come true.

Very often we ask for things because we think our life will be better with those things, but inside of us we do not have an immense desire for those things. When you don't feel that immense desire within you, you are receiving guidance telling you that this is not something you really want. That is why it is so important to get clear on what it is that you really want with all of your heart, because what you really want with all of your heart is the very desire that you can manifest quickly.


When your heart is on fire with desire you will attract the right things to do, you will find visualizing so easy, and you will find it is effortless to think positive thoughts of your desire. You will attract all the qualities you need, such as strength, courage, belief, persistence, faith, and a powerful will. An intense desire lights up your being, producing a magnetic force that enables the law of attraction to cut through every physical obstacle for you and make your dream come true.
Go for your dreams! Don't cheat yourself in your life with petty desires because you don't think you can live your dream. THE DREAM inside you is the one thing that you have the greatest power to create, because you have an immense desire for it. Find the dream inside you - and make it come true!

No one can help you to make a smooth transition to natural selling better than than Michael Oliver , author of "How to Sell Network Marketing Without Fear, Anxiety or Losing Your Friends!"

Here's an exerpt:

Fear is perhaps THE greatest factor that holds many distributors back from taking a path different from the one with which they are familiar. The paralysis it can cause prevents them from having the freedom and abundance that is their universal right.

The fear trap is a real one; it comes from a focus on self, based on past conditioning, thoughts and experiences that are manifested in the present.

Here are seven ways of re-thinking that can help you escape that trap...
1) Instead of thinking of selling as an exercise in persuasion, think of selling as a problem solving exercise
2) Instead of focusing on the sale, focus on discovering IF there is a sale to be made in the first place
3) Instead of talking about your solutions, allow them to talk about their problems
4) Instead of guessing what people are thinking, saying and meaning, ask them what they are thinking, saying and meaning!
5) Instead of making the purpose of your business to make money, think first about your purpose as finding and helping people who have the types of problems your solutions are designed to solve. The money (your objective) will follow
6) Instead of attempting to persuade someone to listen to you and buy your products, first, learn how to listen to them, and what to listen for. Then they will then listen to you
7) Instead of persuading or telling people to change their present situation, learn how and what questions to ask that will help them automatically influence themselves to change
8) Instead of immediately talking about your solutions when you do hear a problem, ask them first how committed they are to solving their problem if the right solution came along.

Each one of these is a powerful distinction. Focus on one each day for a week, and I promise you'll be transitioning to natural selling and lose your fear in the process!

To your prosperity!

Nine Common Objections You Must Answer

Objections. You're going to get them, so be ready. Here are nine common objections that salesman and author extraordinaire, Brian Tracy, distinguishes for us:

1. Unspoken Objections. This is where the prospect has concerns but doesn't tell you anything. The solution is to let the prospect talk more. Ask open-ended questions and find out what is stopping them from signing up.

2. Escuses, Exuses. These look like,
"We are really busy right now and don't have time to think about it"
"We already have what we need"
"We are not interested right now"
These are just excuses. They are not really serious. Here is what you can say, "That's all right. Most people in your situation felt the same way when I first called them. But now they have become our best customers (or distributors), and they recommend us to their friends."

3. Malicious Objections. This is where people take out their "crappy" lives on you. They are very negative and criticize your opportunity or product. The way to deal with this is to realize you are not the target. Your job is to remain calm, confident, positive, and polite throughout. Very often this behavior will soften the prospect and encourage him to open up to you.

4. Requests For Information. This is AWESOME! This means that your prospect is genuinely interested. Compliment the person for asking the question. Take the time to answer it (or refer them back to the marketing site while you are still on the phone where they can get the answer) and ask them, "Does that answer your question?"

5. Show-Off Objections. Your prospect may try to show-off how much they know about your product, opportunity, or industry. Respond by showing how impressed you are. Make them feel important and they will eventually warm up to you.

6. Subjective Objections. These objections are aimed at you as a person. Whenever a person becomes critical of you, it could be a sign that you are talking too much about yourself. Start asking more questions and talk about the prospect rather than yourself.

7. Objective Objections. These are directed at your product or opportunity and the claims you are making about them. The prospect might say, "I don't think Zrii will do what I need it to do". Or, "Zrii sounds like like a great opportunity but it won't work for me". The solution is to provide testimonials that your prospect can relate to. Assure your prospect that they will get the same benefits.

8. General Sales Resistance. This always occurs at the beginning of the conversation. Lower initial sales resistance by using the approach close. Say, "Mr. Prospect, thank you for your time. Please relax. I'm not going to try to sell you anything today. All I want to do is ask you some questions and see if there is some way that Zrii can help you achieve your goals in a cost-effective way. Would that be alright?" When the prospect relaxes and gives you permission to ask him questions you can begin finding out what he really wants and how you can meet that need.

9. Last-Ditch Objections. You have made your presentation, and the prospect clearly sees how she would be better off with your product or service. She knows and understands what you are selling and how much you are asking. She is on the verge of signing up but still hesitates. "How do I know this is the best opportunity?" Or "Will this really work for me?" Just assure the prospect that they are making an excellent choice and that everyone else who has signed up is happy with their choice.

Once you handle an objection go to the closing question:
"What level of the business would you like to start?"
Business Builder ($1500), Part Timer ($1000), or Novice ($500)?

"Can you afford to wait another day?" The opportunity is now, don't you agree?

"How much money do you need to make each month?" Then you need to take advantage of the Premier level to fast track your cash flow.

"Is there any reason why you can't get started today?"

"Which auto shipment do you want to be on?" Product user or Business Builder?

"What credit card do you want to use?" Visa or Mastercard ?

"What day do you want your product shipped out every month?" 10th or 25th?

Then be silent.

The Key to the HUGE Results in Networking Marketing -- Consistency

Andrew Carnegie well-known 20th century entrepreneur and millionaire said:

"Show me a man/(woman) who can make a decision, act on that decision and stay with that decision, and I'll show you a man/(woman) who will succeed."

Even as we engage in the present sprint to reach 7-star by September 30th, remember that this business (network marketing/direct sales) is inherently a marathon, not a sprint. If you read anything written by long-term network marketing pros you will learn that it is far better to talk to one (or two or three) new people every day for months and years, than it is to talk to 10 people in day and then do nothing for the next 7.

Consistency and commitment can't help but yield results. It's inevitable. Have you talked to your one today?

6 Ways to Build Momentum in Your Network Marketing Business

I found this article in my inbox today. The author is unknown, but the sentiments are well known and yet so eloquently outlined I just had to share. Enjoy!

"I have people in my organization who have built a group of hundreds of people in their online network marketing group in 6 months, and others that only recruited a dozen or so people in six months. And I think I finally figured out why.

I think the "secret" can be summed up in one word: momentum.

And momentum doesn't seem to be created by massive effort, "big breaks", or charismatic, flamboyant personalities. As a matter of fact, from my own experience I can't find many common denominators between the leaders I know in the field of online network marketing. There are men and women, old and young, people from blue collar backgrounds as well as white collar professionals.

So how do you create momentum? Here are six keys that I have identified in people that I personally work with, in and out of my organization:

1. They have a vision of what they want and a plan to get there. Their "why" is strong. They usually have very specific reasons that they are building their business, and they are serious about achieving their goals. They have a business plan, and act from that plan, which includes their goals, strategies, and marketing methods.

2. They treat their business like a business, not a hobby. They are willing to invest in their business. These are the people that don't complain about the cost of marketing. They may not have large budgets, but they are willing to invest $200-$300 a month or more to achieve their dreams.

3. They are consistent. They work their business every single day, at least 5 days a week or more, where those that are unsuccessful work their business once or twice a week, if that. In Jim Collins amazing book, "Good to Great", he compares building momentum to getting a huge flywheel spinning. The first push doesn't do much, or the second or third, or even the hundredth. But over time, if you are consistent and never leave the task, you get it spinning so fast that even if you grabbed hold of it with all your might you couldn't stop it. Building an network marketing business is just like that, you have to give it consistent effort over a reasonable period of time, usually at least six months.

4. They take 100% ownership of their business. They aren't waiting on anybody else to do anything for them, they just dig in and get to work. You will never hear these people say, "I could be successful if I had a good sponsor". These people are going to get it done even if they have the worst sponsor in the world.

5. They are students of the business, constantly learning and studying. They spend time not only in personal development, but they are students of business and of marketing. They also invest a fair amount of time in trial and error, and discovering what doesn't work to find out what does. They're not afraid to fail if they learned a lesson in the process.

6. They are passionate about the products. It's rare to see somebody create a great online network marketing business if they aren't really passionate about what they're selling. These people are not only fans of the products, they are usually on the "big" autoship and are proud to talk to anybody about the products they represent.

It's not that hard, it's just that most people don't understand the power of consistent effort, with the right attitude, for a reasonable period of time. "

So I challenge you to apply these six principles for six months and see the success.

To Your Prosperity!

What is Network Marketing?

We have a great tool available to us FREE to answer that question!

If you are talking with someone who is unfamiliar with the network marketing concept, simply 3-way them into Jason's Domingo's pre-recorded call:
712-432-9242
Option 1: Why Network Marketing
Option 2: Why Zrii

Not only does he do a great job in explaining how the network marketing model works, siting powerful advocates such as Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki, it does something much more powerful for your prospect. It MODELS for them exactly how they can be successful when they themselves are put into that situation themselves. Modeling success is key in this business where many people have fear of having to "sell" an opportunity. If only they knew, they don't know how to SELL this business, they only need to know how to use the tools and LEAD their prospects through that decision-making process. :-)

Dynamic Compression Comp Plan -- Get Paid up to 80 Levels!

In an article called "Why Binary Compensation Plans Suck", my partner Deborah Tutnauer explains a shortcoming in the common binary pay plans that has stung so many network marketers who are diligently working to grow their businesses.

As the name suggests, binary plans require that you build two legs and the company pays out only a percentage of the SMALLER leg. So what happens if, God forbid, you happen to get a ringer on one of your two legs?

You may be doing well, building steadily, alternating the placement of people on each of your two legs. Let's say you have $10,000 in volume on both legs, and then this hotshot comes along and explodes your second leg to $50,000. Do you know how much you get of that??

Nothing. Zilch. Nada. That's not the short-cut to financial freedom! Many a well intentioned network marketer, saddled with a binary plan, has floundered.

Enter the next wave in Network Marketing -- the hybrid of compensation plans. It's called a Hybrid Unilevel Plan.

In this plan you are paid for ALL volume that happens below you... and down as many as 80 levels deep! Fathom that as compared to the old fashioned unilevel plans that often paid down only 9 levels or 10 levels. Serious difference!

Deborah does a great job in further explaining the true power in a compressed plan. In the compressed plan the computer calculates every purchase of product made by every person in below you...whether you have one, two, three or more legs. As you move up the line people are paid as deep as they have qualified for. As you move up in the ranking you are paid on more levels. Everything is dynamically compressed from the bottom up.

This type of dynamically compressed unilevel plan is the cutting edge of network marketing compensation plans. Add to it other bonuses for beginners, plus matching bonuses and rank bonuses and the sky is the limit. This type of plan is inherently more fair to its distributors that any other plan in the industry today, particularly in comparison to binaries.

Take a look at the full article she's published:
http://hubpages.com/hub/Why-Binary-Compensation-Plans-Suck

Get to know and love the Dynamic Compression Plan, which is quite arguably the best plan in the industry: Corporate Properity Plan

See a video explanation of Dynamic Compression Payment Plan, and how you can get paid on a crazy number of people in your downline -- as many as 80 levels deep! Dynamic Compression Explained

What Color Are You?

ok, we've established that we are in the Leadership Development Business. Ultimately this requires that you know and understand people, what makes them tick, and how they will operate once they are ticking.


One of the best assessments you can find anywhere...is The Color Code.


What I like best about this assessment is that it not only identifies WHAT a person does, but WHY.


You can't begin to understand yourself, if you don't know what motivates you!


You can't begin to understand others, if you don't know what motivates others!


The Color Code introduces the following four personality "Colors," or driving Core Motives:


RED (Motive: POWER)—These are the power wielders. Power, the ability to move from point A to point B, and get things done is what motivates and drives these people. They bring great gifts of vision and leadership and generally are responsible, decisive, proactive and assertive.


BLUE (Motive: INTIMACY)—These are the do-gooders. Intimacy, connecting, creating quality relationships and having purpose is what motivates and drives these people. They bring great gifts of quality and service and are generally loyal, sincere, and thoughtful.


WHITE (Motive: PEACE)—These are the peacekeepers. Peace, or the absence of conflict, is what motivates and drives these people. They bring great gifts of clarity and tolerance and are generally kind, adaptable, good-listeners.


YELLOW (Motive: Fun)—These are the fun lovers. Fun, or the joy of doing something just for the sake of doing it, is what motivates and drives these people. They bring great gifts of enthusiasm and optimism and are generally charismatic, spontaneous, and sociable.What "Color" are you?


Find out by taking the FREE Color Code Personality Test. Taking this profile will enable you to:


Determine your own "Color," or driving Core Motive, in less than 15 minutes "Speak the Language" of others by identifying their Color, or driving Core Motive (TheColorCode.com allows you to invite as many of your friends, family, and co-workers to take the profile as well.)


There isn't a better place to start than right now, with YOU!

Take the FREE Color Code Personality Test

So, What Business Are You In?

Just checking to see if you read my last post...

Regardless if you think you are in the wellness business, the network marketing business, or whatever company you may be representing...

the answer is...

... you are in the LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS.

any questions? re-read the last post.

Help Enough Others Get What They Want

In the famous words of Zig Ziglar, "Help Enough Others Get What They Want & You'll Get What You Want."

Sit with that notion a while...

You can work and work and become a sponsoring powerhouse yourself, but true power in network marketing is in the ability to LEVERAGE your time by helping those you've sponsored succeed at sponsoring others. You don't even have to sponsor that many people personally.

My mentor in Zrii sponsored only 8 people in his last company and made millions helping his downline grow theirs.

So no matter what company or what industry you're associated with, in network marketing, we are all in the very same business! That "business" is the Leadership Development Business --That's where the Golden Goose lies... in developing leaders.

"Distributors" come and go. Leaders will stay and build a future for themselves and for you. Learn. Grow. Prosper. Together!

Enjoy the journey!

Why Wasn't Mark Sponsoring More People?

Boy, am I glad I didn't delete this email. I subscribe to a lot of e-letters from those in the mlm industry. Some good, some not so good. There always seems to be something to learn in each one of them. Every now and again you get an email that contains a real gem. Here is one I'd like to share:

Dear Kathy,

Years ago, (long before I went full-time in this industry), I found out what it was that was keeping me from sponsoring more people into my opportunity. It came down to four things:

1. I Was Talking To The Wrong People
When you put your network marketing opportunity in front of people who are"broke", you're talking to the wrong people. Now most people won't tell you they're broke up front, right? Wrong. They will tell you. You just have to make sure you're listening. When your prospect says: "how much is this going to cost me?" instead of: "how much can I make with a business like this?," they just told you!

Stop attracting people suffering from the "I'm broke" mentality and start attracting success driven people by changing the way you think about yourself and others. You are not a "rescuer," you're an entrepreneur seeking like minded people. See people as they are, not as you want them to be.

2. I Wasn't "Rising Above The Noise"
If the right prospects are not responding to you, then it's likely because you're failing to "rise above the noise." Every day prospects are bombarded by offer after offer in their inbox. They see ad after ad online. Most prospects suffer from serious information overload. They're so overwhelmed with "choices" they don't know what to do, so many do nothing at all - or worse, they "throw the dice" and land in a bad business. This represents real opportunity for you as a professional networker. An opportunity to rise above the crowd and take your prospect by the hand and introduce them to a "REAL" business.

When you interact with your prospect as a "consultant" rather than a sales person,you immediately set yourself apart. By educating your prospect and helping them ask the questions they should be asking, (but don't know to ask) it's easy to rise above the fray and position yourself as a professional in the mind of your prospect. Prospects WANT to work with someone who has genuinely helped them, and who will continue to help them get to where they want to be.

3. I Wasn't Following Up
Life is busy. Once you've made contact with your prospect, is natural to assume they are carefully considering your opportunity and that those who don't get back with you are simply not "interested" or are not "serious." In a perfect world, this might be a safe assumption. Unfortunately, we do not live in a perfect world. We live in a world of distractions. Family issues, car problems, kid problems, you name it. So follow-up with your prospect. Don't chase, but DO make it a point to follow-up. Don't rely on only one method, test several: phone, email, even a card.

I also recommend using an autoresponder in your business. That way, if it's simply a"timing issue", your system continues to drip on them till the timing is right.

4. I didn't know how to find QUALIFIED prospects to put my business in front of.
Ah Ha! This is a challenge for MANY networkers. Eventually, we run out of our"warm market" (and some don't even want to go there to begin with). So the question becomes, WHERE do we find people? Many turn to buying "leads," and end up losing a lot of money because of all the "garbage" out there in the lead industry. Others try to create prospects of their own through advertising (but this can alsobe a costly gambit). Savvy networkers learn ways to generate "THEIR OWN" leads through low-cost and even no-cost methods.

I wish you good sponsoring...
All The Best,

Zrii -- Great Testimonials To Share

Chances are the prospect you are speaking to has some type of health issue they'd like to improve. Whether they need relief of some pain, increased energy and vitality, or to get off the blood sugar yo-yo... there are great stories of how others have found relief with Zrii. And quickly!

Here are some to add to your stable:

Reduced Blood Sugar Levels
Drew has suffered with joint issues and knee pain for some time. Up until 3 weeks ago, he was using different glucosomine products which helped. However, since drinking an ounce of Zrii 3x per day, he is experiencing no pain or discomfort!

As an insulin dependent diabetic on an insulin pump, one of my issues is of course, blood sugar control. After being tested through applied kinesiology (my alternative physician, Mark Force), not only did that show strength on the product, but Dr. Force advised me to take more than 3 ounces per day. In the 3 weeks that I have been doing that, I have had to adjust the settings on my pump due to experiencing 2-3 low blood sugars per day. My blood sugar control is amazing and this is the only difference I have made in my daily regimen.
Thanks for everything.
Karen Scott

Unlimited Energy And Pain Free
I began drinking Zrii in November 2007. Previously to this I was constantly fighting fatigue, digestive Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and osteoarthritis in both knees.

Since taking Zrii for the past 2 months I have noticed that my energy level is phenomenal. As for the flareup’s of Irritable Bowel Syndrome, I have only had 1 in the past 2 months. Previously I was not able to walk up and down the stairs, especially down with the osteoarthritis in both of my knees without pain. I can now not only walk up and down the stairs, but I have joined the gym and am exercising. Needless to say I am very thankful for this wonderful health supplement that I have been introduced to and I plan on continuing to take it every day.
Thank-you
June VanderMolen

Helped Acid Reflux
I personally suffer from very bad acid reflux and since taking Zrii I have noticed a tremendous reduction in symptoms. I haven’t had to use any medications, not even the over the counter stuff.
Kim

No More Pain
I have boundless energy, and sleep soundly at night. I’m Pain FREE now with Zrii. No more pain and stiffness in my hip as a result of a fall 8 years ago.
Meg Allen, St. Louis

My Child’s Behavior Has Improved
I am a registered nurse, married and have two children with ADHD. My son is 10 and my daughter is 13. My daughter has had success with the medication she takes, but my son has always been up and down on dosages and has never truly benefited due to the side effects of the medicine; poor appetite, motor ticks, poor fluid intake etc… We have tried almost every type of ADHD medication out there. He has been taking Zrii now for 3 weeks and we have noticed that he is calmer, eating better and sleeping better. We hope that the longer he drinks Zrii, his symptoms will keep decreasing, hopefully being able to take him off the medication all together. We are very excited to share this experience and want to give people hope that Zrii can help their children too. This is one of the reasons I am so passionate about being able to share Zrii with friends, family and everyone across the globe!
Mia, Indiana

Improved Eyesight
I have been wearing glasses for 20 years. Four months ago I went for my annual eye exam and purchased a new pair of glasses with the new prescription the doctor gave me. The new glasses worked perfect, everything was clear and I could see great. A couple of weeks ago I started to notice that everything in the distance was blurry. I couldn’t read road signs until I was right up on them. I went back to the doctor to get my eyes tested again and he was amazed because my eyes had improved to the prescription I had four years ago. The only thing I have done differently is that at the end of Oct. I added Zrii to my diet.
Richard Prince

More Energy and Less Pain
I started drinking Zrii on a regular basis and have had some real amazing results. I am healthy and have not really had any major health issues (thank God) but I did notice that while in the gym I have a nice steady source of energy and my shoulder no longer bothers me while doing certain exercises. This to me is HUGE because I can now enjoy my work outs with out having to think about getting tired or having that annoying shoulder pain.

My wife has also had some back and hip pains for years now. She drinks 4oz every day and has told me that her back and hips are no longer causing her discomfort. I believe this has to do with the amalaki berrys way of reducing inflamation in joints that cause the pain. She also had the Flu real bad with swollen glands and fever. I told her to just take Zrii and a multi vitamin every morning to see what would happen. Within 2 days her swollwn glands were better and her fever had broke. she kicked the whole flu bug in 4 days. Now I was also sleeping next to her while she had this and I never came down with 1 symptom. I think that this is the strongest and BEST TASTING liquid nutritional available today.

My fathers story is by far the best. He went in for a DOUBLE Hip surgury on Dec 3rd and had the other hip done on Dec 10th. He went through some painful rehab and was released from the hospital just before Christmas. When he was home they had him taking Vicodin for the pain. However, He did not react well to the Vicodin so I told him to just please try drinking 6oz of Zrii a day along with Tylenol at night. He said he felt the effects immediately and 1 month later is walking with out his cane and is back to driving as well. He believes the Zrii had a lot to do with his healing process and said he feels that his energy levels are higher as well each day. I love this product and have been passing out the minis to just let people try it. I am starting to get a lot of positive feed back and will start to build my down line slowly but surely.
Thanks
Jeff Gonzalez

Boosted Immune System
Hi! I’m Kristin Jensen. I had a very busy schedule this Christmastime, working 4 part-time jobs and not getting a whole lot of sleep. I started on Zrii and stayed healthy as everyone around me was getting sick.

One day after Christmas I felt a bug coming on. I drank about 3-4 oz. of Zrii, got a long night’s rest, and got up and drank another 3-4 oz. Within hours the oncoming illness cleared out of my system and I stayed well.
Thanks!
Kristin Jensen

Pain Down 80% And Blood Sugar Lowered
My wife has had burning feet its has a medical name but after being on Zrii the pain is down about 80% she says not all gone but nothing we have tried for the past 4 years has come close to what Zrii has done in a few months.

Zrii has also helped lower our blood sugar. So we are very happy with the results of taking Zrii.
Gary Thompson, NC


** Please note: these are not direct medical claims for the health benefits of drinking Zrii... they are just people's experiences that your prospects might be able to identify with. Use them under the proper context, always.

To Your Health!

Robert Kiyosaki Answers the Question "Why Network Marketing?"

"Why Network Marketing?"

Many people have difficulty in answering this question. Or at least answering this question without fidgeting, sending your prospect running for the hills!

Here are two great videos you can use as follow up to prospects who may not be familiar with all the merits of network marketing.

They are from Robert T Kiyosaki, author of the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" (hard to believe that was published 10 years ago already!) As the name implies, Robert compares the advice and insight from two separate parental influences, his own dad who was a rat-race type of guy and his friend's dad who was rich. Simply put, the poor and the middle class work for money, but the rich have money work for them. It is a slight shift in mindset, or "financial intelligence", but extremely powerful.

Just like the shift in perspective about the merits of building residual income through the powerful vehicle of network marketing.








Enjoy, and prosper!

Seeking Person #10

Here is inspiration from the January "Oprah" Magazine.

Its source is from Za Rinpoche and Ashley Nebelsieck, in "The Backdoor to Enlightenment".

For every nine people who denounce innovation, only one will encourage it...
For every nine who do things the way they have always been done, only one will wonder if there is a better way.
For every nine people who stand in line in front of a locked building, only one will ever come around and check the back door.
Our progress as a species rests squarely on the shoulders of that tenth person. The nine are satisfied with things they are told are valuable. Person 10 determines for himself what has value.

It is Person #10 that we are looking for in our Zrii businesses -- someone who can see the paradigm shift in Zrii and how it is being shared with the world, and what a world of opportunity it can hold for them.

They either see it or they don't.

No need to persuade or to sell, just move on in your search for Person #10... and when you find them... "ahhhh!"

T. Harv Eker’s Secrets of the Millionaire Mind "Action Step" Newsletter

Here's an excerpt from one of T Harv's eletters that gets delivered right to my email box... Enjoy.

Wealth File #1
Rich people believe “I create my life.”
Poor people believe “Life happens to me.”

Instead of taking responsibility for what’s going on in their lives, poor people choose to play the role of the victim. They aren’t victims. They play the role of the victim. They choose to think “poor me.” So that’s literally what they get. They get to be poor.

What are some of the thought habits of the victim role?

Blaming
People playing the victim are professional blamers. They blame everybody but themselves. So of course they don’t do what it takes to change the situation.
Justifying They’ll say, “Money isn’t important.” So if something isn’t important, is it likely you’ll have it? If a parrot weren’t important to you, would you have one? If money weren’t important to you, would you have any?


Complaining
What you focus on expands. So when you’re complaining, you’re focusing on what you don’t want instead of what you do want. When you do that, you get more of what you don’t want.
The point is, if you want to be rich, don’t play the victim. There’s no such thing as a rich victim.
Action #1 Every time you catch yourself blaming, justifying or complaining, slice your index finger across your neck, as a trigger to remind yourself that you are slitting your own financial throat. Even though this gesture may seem a little crude, it’s no more crude than what you’re doing to yourself by blaming, justifying or complaining. But it will eventually work to alleviate these destructive habits.


Action #2 - Do a “debrief.”
At the end of each day, write down one thing that went well and one thing that didn’t. Then write the answer to the following question: “How did I create each of these situations?” If others were involved, ask yourself, “What was my part in creating each of these situations?” This exercise will keep you accountable for your life and make you aware of the strategies that are working for you and the strategies that are not.

Action #3—Declaration: Put your hand on your heart and say, “I create the exact level of my financial success!”

Touch your head and say… “I have a millionaire mind!”

Good job. Now practice this principle over the next 30 days and watch your mind, thoughts and financial life transform.


The Millionaire Mind Intensive is where you can change your money blueprint on a deeper and more permanent level. The new schedule just came out and Harv will be in the Mile High City on the weekend of May 2nd. I can arrange to get you free tickets -- just email me.

Amazing how just one weekend can go such a long way toward changing a lifetime of bad programming. If you haven't already attended one, plan to be there and watch as miracles start to fall into place for you!

Meet an Inspiring Zrii Team Member

Here is a letter from Dhyanna, an outstanding member on our Zrii Team, that just had to be shared. Enjoy her open, genuine and good-feel approach to reaching out to others on the team and building her Zrii business.

Dear Zrii Executives,

I want to introduce myself, I am in your upline and I wanted to contact you and share with you the results I am receiving taking Zrii. First I’ll tell you a little bit about me. I have been in the wellness industry for many years, as a Colonic Therapist, Foot Reflexologist, Massage Therapist, Numerologist, Hypnotherapist, Private Duty Nurse, owner of Enzyme Rich Foods (probiotic foods, raw and dehydrated foods).

In the past I have been involved in Network Marketing, I’m what you would call the average person in Network Marketing, even though the last company I worked with made me enough income to live on for over a year. I did that by getting dedicated to the business by keeping my focus on how I could market the product and the Law of Averages paid off. Even then I swore off Network Marketing because it’s true, in the past it has been so hard for the Average person to make money because of the Las Vegas style compensation plans where the odds are for the house/heavy hitters. Even many of the heavy hitters are tired of the old plans; they know that their life blood is in the part-time Networker.

Now that Zrii has come along I am fully committed again. I’ve never seen a company that has everything the way that Zrii does, right down to the prosperity plan that is geared to the new and average person as well as rewards the seasoned pro.

Zrii’s prosperity plan makes Network Marketing so simple, why do I make it so complicated when it is so simple. (I have been programmed from my past experiences) If I/we really got how simple it is we would all be financially free right now. It is as simple as getting three people and helping them get 3 people and helping them get three people. (you probably know you can max out Zrii’s prosperity plan with just 3 legs) Get 3 people to do what? To buy and drink their monthly supply of Zrii and if they want to earn money, than refer 3 people who want to do the same and help them.

The example I want to give is based on things working out perfectly, in life things don’t work out perfectly but for example sake I want to show you how many people you would need in your group to earn money on the Unilevel part of the Prosperity plan.

If you want to do business it makes sense to order your personal consumption which is one case and a case of the samples to promote your business. There is cost in doing business.

Going down just 4 levels you would have 120 people in your group, if they are ordering just their personal consumption ($120.00 mo.) your check would be around (in the perfect scenario) $1,112.00.

Going down 4 levels if everyone was ordering for their personal consumption and the sample bottles ($255.00 mo.) to do business your check would be around $2363.00.

It only gets better from here, if you do the math you can carry it out for 9 levels, this isn’t even including the bonuses which are plentiful.

I say that if we (people in general) really understood the power of this simple concept,
1. Knowing that Zrii is going to be a Brand Name product in the future,
2. Knowing that we have a company that can foot the bill for whatever is needed to make this company flourish
3. Knowing that we have the best man at the helm to do this, a pro at branding and able to make decisions and carry them forward no matter the cost
4. Knowing that we have the best endorsement there could be with Chopra Center for Wellbeing
5. Knowing that Zrii took 60 formulations (not thrown together) with top doctors, scientists and nutrition experts,
6. Knowing that the prosperity plan is made to make it easy and pays extremely well
7. And knowing the timing couldn’t be any better
8. And now the results that people are having are rolling in and that is the best part of all!

We would be so wealthy in every way, we could spend our time doing what we love, we would not even have to charge for what we do, it could be done purely out of love and humanitarian interest. It doesn’t get any simpler than this.

I have been tracking how I have been reacting to Zrii and following are 4 different results on Zrii, two are from people I heard tell their story, my results, and results from a presentation I saw of a Live Blood Cell analysis.

1.) A woman from Calgary Alberta Canada – was introduced to Zrii in mid September, before the pre-launch of the company. She says “I was excited about 2 things, first of all for the opportunity, found a way to stay home with my 2 little ones and that was exciting to me. The more I learned about the product itself the more excited I became because I have been a sufferer with IBS for 18 years. I have tried everything, I have gone to Naturopaths, Homeopaths, I’ve gone completely organic, gone to Medical doctors, Chiropractors and tried basically everything I could as I was really suffering badly, it felt like I had knives stabbing my stomach every time I would go out or have any kind of stress.

After a week of taking the product it just completely settled down and I have not suffered from IBS since then and I will never forget to take the product again.”

2.) A woman I met at the Farley tour in Boston, her young daughter was on anxiety medicine and after taking Zrii for a short time she was able to work with her doctor to get off of her anxiety medicine.

3.) My results: I am recovering from an Auto-Immune Disease and Adrenal Fatigue caused by Mercury Poisoning. The outward physical manifestations were hives for 15 years, 2 years of rash on entire trunk of body with open sores and extreme itching, fatigue, constant low grade fever, insomnia and severe memory problems. I spent much of my spare time researching and all of my money healing myself.

At the introduction of ZRII I had already come a long way towards healing myself by removing the mercury from my teeth and cells of my body. The hives are minimal compared to before, the low grade fever only happens once every week or two and the adrenal fatigue is now being addressed.

After about 2 weeks on ZRII I noticed my energy level increased, it feels like a more sustained energy level, a well being high or just the energy I had when I was much younger. My memory is so much better, I can now remember things I had no access to for so many years. I can also study better now. I have better BM’s which has always been something I’ve had to watch.


I feel more nourished now, at night I usually want a snack, usually carbohydrates or something sweet but because I feel more nourished it is much easier to skip the not so healthy snacks which allows me to heal faster. This sounds simple but this is really big, nothing has ever done that for me.

Now when the low grade flu starts to set in if I drink a couple of ounces of ZRII it brings me right out of that flu feeling.

4.) The ability of Zrii to increase the immune system was further demonstrated to me by a presentation I saw from a local Live Blood Analysis practitioner showing before and after pictures after taking one ounce of Zrii, in the before picture it showed the white blood cells all clumped together and squished trapping the immune system from working properly, in the after picture after just one (1) ounce of Zrii you could see the white blood cells moving freely, all nice and round and free to do the work the immune system was designed to do, keep us healthy!

One more thing, the last few nights I have taken 2 or 3 ounces before bed as I heard someone say they sleep better when they do that, well much to my surprise not only did I sleep better but when I looked in the mirror in the morning the wrinkles and bags under my eyes were noticeably gone, which usually takes a shower to rehydrate and plump my skin, Zrii truly is a youth promoting Superfood.

I must tell you though, that it took a couple of weeks before I really started to notice the results, you must remember that every BODY has its own challenges and the body is an organic process and in most cases it probably doesn’t happen overnight so drinking Zrii for 1 to 3 months is advised if you want to see what accumulative results you will receive.

The longer I take Zrii the more well being I feel, my energy level is expanding to greater horizons, it’s difficult to explain but I feel like I did when I was very young.

I am blessed to have this opportunity to be involved with ZRII, I have better health and the opportunity to have the income to retire when I should be retiring with the rest of my friends.

ZRII gives us the opportunity to take care of our health and nourish our bodies. Something most people leave up to the medical establishment.

Seems that medical doctors have set themselves up as “The Word of God” and they did a good job because most people believe in it. They say, “Take this drug and you’ll feel better, most of the time never addressing the real problem.

We, as intelligent beings, have the capability of nourishing ourselves so that our own immune system can heal us.

We must remove the toxins, heavy metals, bacteria and viruses, and then nourish our bodies with a healthy diet consisting of nutrient dense foods and super foods.

Please contact me if you have any questions or comments or inspiration.

Blessings,

Dhyanna

How Many Prospects Are You Losing?

ok, you've followed the approach like textbook.

* You've introduced your prospect to the Zrii opportunity

* You've qualified/interviewed them and given them more information to check out -- whether that be the website or the cd/brochure and sample.

* And you've followed up to see that they've reviewed it.

All that's left is the one last question, "So what did you think?"

And then, the dreaded response "I'm not sure" or "it's not a good time for me right now."

This is where most networker's get stuck. It's easy to either walk away from that prospect right there and then or fall into the selling mode, trying to talk them into the opportunity which we all know just doesn't work.

So what's one to do? Use a better approach -- Challenge your prospect to take action by reviewing their reason "WHY" they've been looking at an opportunity in the first place! This puts it back on them. If they are not currently in a situation making as much money as they desire, it's because the continue not to take action to change the situation. Now is the time! A good, qualified prospects NEED what you have.

Get them to take action NOW. What better way to kick off a prosperous new year than with taking up a new business opportunity that can be potentially life-changing for them... and YOU!

Now, go forth and sponsor!

"Is This Network Marketing?"

This has to be one of the most dreaded questions for newbies in the industry -- one sure to bring their flow to a screeching halt.

There is a free ecourse I highly recommend by Michael Oliver of "Natural Selling" who expertly addresses standard selling fears such as this and helps to position you to lead the conversation where it should be -- to find a better understanding of your prospects needs, desires and preferences. Michael's page is titled "How to Build Your Business Without Fear, Anxiety or Losing Your Friends!" and his free e-course "Shows How to Make Objections, Rejection and High Attrition a Thing Of The Past."

Here is an excerpt from how he answers the dreaded "Is this Network Marketing" Question:

So how would you feel if it didn’t matter to you whether [that question] came up or not because you knew how to address the question with zero fear or anxiety and have more people join you as a result? Allow me to explain how you can do this.

First, there are two traps that you must avoid. The first one is to not be vague or try to avoid the question. Doing this will simply raise a red flag that perhaps you reattempting to hide something and it will ruin any chance ofcontinuing or establishing a productive relationship with them.

The second trap is to immediately launch into a pre-rehearsed defense of the industry. You may have come across suggested replies such as "Yes, but it's not what you think it is. Let me explain..."

The problem with this is that once again you're likely to raisethe other person's suspicions because you're being defensive. Also, with this particular line, you've got no idea what theother person thinks about Network Marketing!

So, what to do? Well, as with any questions like this that come up, one of the keys is to discover more about what lies behind it. So, one way to respond would be to say "Yes it is. Are you familiar with Network Marketing?" Or "Yes it is. What do you know about Network Marketing?"

You might find that the other person knows a lot about Network Marketing and has a favorable view of the industry! Even if they don't by getting behind the question you find out if there's a concern that needs to be discussed further. When you address the question "Is This Network Marketing?" in this fashion, you'll find that it just becomes part of the dialogue and allows you to make your dialogue more positive and productive.

Michael has a great 3 CD audio program for those truly plagued with this question and it's called, appropriately, "Is This Network Marketing?" Once you've mastered this approach, the question "Is this Network Marketing?" will never again be an obstacle to your business-building. All the details of this CD program as well as his free yet highly valuable e-course can be found at www.NaturalSelling.com

Give Yourself a HUGE Bonus!

Zrii is still in Pre-Launch which creates huge opportunities for those who take action now, and there's new things that keep popping up.

I learned tonight about a special compensation bonus that just floored me. I’ve never heard of anything like this before. The company will give “one share” of their profits to each eligible distributor each month until the company launches in May. All it takes to become eligible is to find 5 people who want to become involved with Zrii.

In November every distributor who had enrolled 5 people that month received a check for $1400…in addition to their regular commission checks. That's up and above the 30-40% we are earning on the Fast Start Bonuses of each referral! A “share” is a percentage of the company’s profits for that month. It is divided between any people who have enrolled 5…just 5. You can do it for one month, or two or three or more.

You can link to the compensation plan page of the Zrii website by clicking here.

What a great way to jumpstart your 2008!!

Universal Law: Where your attention goes, your energy flows.

It applies as much to mountain biking as it does to earning money. I hate that, when I'm out biking and I get to looking at the side of the trail or at a big rock in the middle of the trail, and you end up right where you didn't want to be!

Your attention does the same thing in money matters. We, as humans, are creatures of habit. We are in the habit of looking at what it is we have versus what we want to have. We need to break out of this habit and learn a new way of focusing on only what we do want to bring into our lives.

I call it the "Big But" theory. The positive is there, but we negate it with everything that comes after the "but".
Example: I found an incredible opportunity to make an life-changing income, but I don't know how I am going to pay my mortgage this month... or, but I don't know how to sell... or (fill in your own "but".)

Luckily, positive emotions and thoughts are 10 times more powerful than negative ones, and habits can be changed. It takes on average of 90 days to form a new habit. So I challenge you to be aware of your thoughts for the next 90 days. Listen for the "buts". When they occur laugh them off. As Napolean Hill, we can "Think and Grow Rich." Focus only on the positive new thing you want to draw into your life. Rather than playing the money game not to lose, determine to play the money game to WIN.

Remember: Rich people think long-term. Poor people think short-term.

Focus. Financial Freedom. Financial Freedom. Financial Freedom. Feels nice, doesn't it!

One Year to Financial Freedom

You will never become rich by exchanging time for money. You must find a way of “leveraging” your income.

Network Marketing is one of the absolute best ways of doing just that. You’ll hear that this industry has produced more millionaires than any other industry around.

You’ll also hear that 97% of the people who try network marketing fail.
Why? I believe for a number of reasons. Perhaps the most important one is that in our instant gratification society, people are looking for the "get rich next month" scheme (closely akin to the “lose 10 lbs next week for Christmas” scheme)… just not possible. But if you understand the compensation plan and set realistic goals for yourself, this becomes downright SIMPLE!

I actually have two goal numbers in mind for myself, one as a 3-year “financial freedom” vision and one a shorter term, within-the-year goal of earning $10,000 per month with my Zrii business. So what does it take to attain numbers like that?

In the Zrii Prosperity Plan, it’s nicknamed the “Get 3 and You’re Free” plan. It’s as simple as getting 3 people and teaching them to do the same. That’s all you need to focus on… get 3 people! 3 people who share that vision of financial freedom with you and are willing to do the same. Get 3 people. The numbers grow exponentially… 3 people who get 3 people becomes 9, then 27, then 81, into 243… and then the jumps become more interesting… 729 to 2187 to 6561… and stick it out you’ll see 19683…and then…!

Dave Vass, an IE with Zrii, put it in a timeline: if each person can get their 3 people in the first month, your business would grow like this:
1 month = 3
2 month= 9
3 month= 27
4 month= 81
5 month= 243
6 month= 729...right here you are now earning $8000-$12000 a month
7 month= 2187
8 month= 6561
9 month= 19683...now you make well over $200,000 a month

Ok, I find that a bit ambitious but certainly within 1-2 months you should be able to get 3 people, and they can get 3 within their first 1-2 months (because you’ll help them!)

So my goal of $10,000 per month is achievable within the first year! And is for you as well.

Goal 1: Get those 3 business builders
Goal 2: Put in place on-going recruiting efforts to continue building your business and you cannot fail.

More on Goal 2 to come. For now, sweet dreams knowing you are just 3 recruits away from financial freedom!
