be freeThis weekend in Houston, the MasterMind Event #5 was teaming with professional network marketers from all over the world, looking for inspiration, insight, connections. Want to know who was here, sharing their vast wisdom? Art Jonak, Randy Gage, Orrin Woodward, Ken Dunn, Jordan Adler, Hilde and Orjan Saele, Donna Johnson, Richard Brooke, Tom “Big Al” Schreiter, Michael Clouse. They each spoke for over an hour, at least once, usually twice, and each time they took the platform, they offered wisdom, humor, insights, practicalities.  I am now so well equipped to go out and conquer the world, that nothing, nothing can stop me.

My favorite speaker was Art Jonak. Art planned, orchestrated, and MCd the entire event. He spoke of the network marketing profession, not as an industry, but as a profession with heart, soul, integrity, and potential, that each one of us has embraced with enthusiasm and vitality.

Actually, my favorite speaker was Randy Gage. Randy described how for every person seeking greatness, there are dozens charged with safeguarding mediocrity.

Well, actually, my favorite speaker was Orrin Woodward. Orrin talked about how leadership starts with hunger. Once you lose your hunger, you stop being a leader because you lose the drive to do better.

Now that I think about it, my favorite speaker was Kenn Dunn . Kenn used to investigate pyramid schemes as a police officer in Ottowa. Now he is a top earner, because the more he investigated, the more convinced he became that network marketing is the perfect solution for people hoping to regain control over their financial, social, and personal lives.

But actually, my favorite speaker was Jordan Adler. Jordan noted that people are attracted to a happy dog. Be a happy dog! People are held hostage by their incomes, driven to do what they’re supposed to do, rather than what they know is the right thing to do. Help them discover the solution to becoming the person they were meant to be, rather than live the life of a person that they’re forced to be.

When Orjan and Hilde Saele took the platform, I realized that they were my favorite speakers. They emphasized that your focus will always determine your outcome. Whatever you magnify will catch fire. We are our compounded habits. Change your habits; change yourself.

But THEN, I realized that my favorite speaker was Donna Johnson. Donna gave the women a voice and noted that network marketing provides a level playing field. Everyone makes the same money, men and women. The opportunity that we offer other people is our BEST product, forget about the drink, the antioxidants, the skin care, the energy whatever. It’s the opportunity that can change people’s health, wealth, relationships, life focus.

So, actually, my favorite speaker was Richard Brooke. Richard gave us an overview of the regulatory aspects of network marketing, and then concentrated on how we can close the gap between corporate and field, listing ideal corporate goals and field goals.

And THEN, Tom “Big Al” Schreiter laughed us silly, and I realized that he was my favorite speaker. Big Al told us that the skill we need to develop is how to view the other person’s viewpoint. Give them a choice. Capture their attention.

Had they saved the best for last? Michael Clouse was absolutely my favorite speaker. Michael said that the most important factor that will determine how my business, my life, turns out is how I think. Change my thoughts; change my life.

Then they started all over, taking another turn on stage, and I had to keep readjusting my favorite-speaker status. But regardless of who was on the platform, each speaker gave me gems of wisdom, humor, and practicality that I can take home with me and get started NOW to make my business the best thing ever, and to help each of my teammates do the same. I can’t wait to get started. I know just how to do it.

How was your weekend?
