Passion & Enthusiasm - The Difference Makers

With boundless enthusiasm, her "passion" for soccer made her successful. His skills as a player, didn't quite match his "passion" for the game. Passion is a strong feeling about a subject that is characterized by intense desire. How many children did you see possess a strong desire to achieve his/her goals? The separation between the achievers and the observers is not about skill, it is about passion and a compelling, intense desire to commit to a cause, a plan, and/or a goal. As in athletics, successful business people and entrepreneurs share a common trait - passion. NuSkin provides the opportunity, the company backing, the products, the plan, the support staff - but "passion and enthusiasm" are the difference makers.

NuSkin Comparison to Apple

Larry pointed out the the website (www.galvanic2.com) compares NuSkin to Apple. Take a look at the summary from the first chart copied and pasted here. Then go to the website and read more. This is exciting folks, and as we have said, we are at the beginning of the trend.

APPLE
*Apple grew from zero to US$1 billion in 7 years* Apple's sales plateau for 15 years * Apple reinvented itself with a new industry of “MP3”* Apple introduced the iPod * iPod comes in white & black* iPod leads to iTunes, iMovie, iPhone etc..* iPod is retailed for US$300
* iTunes could total over $20,000 per customer in the years to follow* Apple experienced vertical growth with the iPod and saw a 500% growth in it's sales to over US$24 billion in the past 7 years.
* This is called the billion dollar multiplier effect.* Apple sold 376,000 iPods their first year* Apple has sold 152,000,000+ iPods over the past 6 years

NUSKIN
* Nu Skin grew from zero to US$ 1billion in 9 years * Nu Skin's sales plateau for 15 years* Nu Skin reinvented itself in “Anti-Aging”* Nu Skin introduced the Galvanic Spa* Galvanic Spa comes in white and black* Glavanic Spa leads to AgeLoc, 180, Ethocyn, etc...* Galvanic Spa is retailed for US$300 which leads to purchases of consumable products which could total over $20,000 per customer in the years to follow.* Nu Skin is experiencing vertical growth with the Galvanic Spa and expects 500% growth in the next 5 - 7 years*The billion dollar multiplier effect, and expects to grow it's sales to over US$5 billion * Nu Skin sold 60,000 Galvanic Spas in January 2008 and is on track to double Apples first year.*

Imagine how big Nu Skin would become, if we sold 152,000,000 Galvanic Spas over the next 10 years.

Anti-Aging Convention in Orlando, FL

Tonight we listened to the report of our upline and an orthopedic doctor from Houston, TX who, along with 13 others attended a two-day medical convention on anti-aging this past weekend in Orlando. They reported that the NuSkin booth was the most visited in the show with 5,000 physicians. Dr. Calvo indicated that they sold 200+ Galvanic Spa kits at the show.

The NuSkin booth gave demo's on the face and hand. Dr. Calvo said we (NuSkin) are at the right place, at the right time with ageLOC and the Galvanic Spa. There was another booth with a Galvanic Spa machine that cost $79,000 each. Only NuSkin has a patented microchip with the NuSkin Galvanic Spa. The ARNox toxic enzyme found in the cell with ageLOC as a solution to anti-aging is amazing and revolutionary. The many physicians were amazed.

A 50 year lady doctor used her hand as a demo and her hand looked like she was 20. Use of the Tru Face Essence Ultra with Ethocyn removed lines. Many doctors said they were going to put these products into their practice immediately. Dr. Calvo and his wife are not sales people, but they just told the story and other doctors were really impressed.

Dr. Chang, top researcher in NuSkin's R&D team said that "we have a winner with the ageLOC line; and the game is over". The ageLOC, Galvanic Spa and Tru Face Essence Ultra is the first in seven points of anti-aging for the human body to be released by NuSkin over the next 18 months. The second generation of products are coming and people who build their businesses today, will benefit with the explosion coming with NuSkin tomorrow.

The Power of Lists

If you want to succeed in a business, know what the successful business professionals do and follow their lead. In NuSkin, making and using "lists" is a key tactic. Lists are small data bases of information. In recruiting, we create, find and make lists for everything. Careerbuilder, Monster, Hotjobs, Dice and other search engines are nothing but big lists. Thousands of associations have membership lists. Sorkins and other corporate, education and government directories lists thousands of people in organizations throughout America and worldwide. What's the point? Create and find your own list of people. Start with people you know who respect/trust you. Add people who's business card you have kept. Follow the trail of emails, Facebook, Linkedin, and other communication services. There are 300 million people in the US and 6 billion worldwide. There is no limit to prospecting candidates to join your team. Make a list, find a list and "tell the story and show the pictures"!

Don't Pre-judge a Person's "Why"

We tend to pre-judge people, without really knowing their "why". Because we know someone, really well - well - so/so - or casually, we begin to make judgements on their interest levels in any opportunity. What I have found in sales/marketing and recruiting for jobs/employment, is that everyone has their own "why". Events in each person's life establishes "pushes and pulls". These events that push someone towards some action and events that pull people along, varies from one person to the next. There is no way we can know and/or understand where a person is in their life; their career; or their current situation. I have talked with nearly 10,000 people about their careers and have found that people tell you half truths. When I thought someone was really ready to make a change and take a career changing step, they were not ready. And, then there are others that out of the blue are ready for that change. So I have learned over the years to not pre-judge any one's "why". I present the facts, the opportunity and let them say yes or no. Point of Interest: Be willing to present a business opportunity like our NuSkin business, and let them say yes or no. No doesn't mean no forever, it means "no not right now". Something may change in their life, that tomorrow they may be interested.

Weekly NuSkin Meeting

Last night we held our first Weekly NuSkin Meeting at Culpepper's Restaurant in Kirkwood, Missouri (USA). There were fifteen NuSkin Distributors and other interested parties. One participant was located overseas and listened via a cell phone. Tom Taylor kicked off the meeting with his reason for getting involved with NuSkin, which is to provide a career option for executive search candidates to his business, who cannot find work. Larry Lalumondiere provided a history on the company, its products and the business opportunity. Patty Lalumondiere, a partner in NuSkin and 20 year user of NuSkin products demonstrated the use of ageLOC, the Galvanic Spa II System and Tru Face Essence Ultra. Three users of the NuSkin products and now Distributors were there who validated the positive "anti-aging" effects of using the products. After the presentation, many attendees discussed how to start and run the business and sought methods for developing leads and building the business.

Summary: In every organization, a weekly scheduled staff meeting and/or sales meeting is standard in a successful business. Sales organizations recruit, train and motivate. We hold open meetings and encourage Distributors to bring interested people to the meetings. Weekly meetings are part of the techniques and practices to running a successful business - NuSkin included.

A Visit with Lon Wardrop

A Visit with Lon Wardrop
$100,000 per month NuSkin Success Story

On April 15th, 2009 Lon shared some thoughts to distributors about working the NuSkin plan. Here is a summary of those thoughts for all NuSkin Distributors and those considering joining our team.

Successful people succeed because they have passion in their lives. This passion helps these people be in charge. Happiness comes from setting “goals” and having “plans”.

WHAT
What do you want in life? Identify those things that make you happy, and create a sense of worth in your life. Creating something from scratch is far greater in terms of reward than doing something that others want you to do.

WHY
If you can determine the “why” in your life, along with your wants, you can establish a passion for achieving your wants. Having passion will rub off on others around you, which will eventually come full circle and positively help you achieve your goals.

WHO
Who do you want to be around? Target people that are successful and share your passion. Find your mentor(s) and become mentors to others. Observe how successful people have achieved their goals and follow a similar path and plan.

HOW
How did these successful people do it? How did your mentor do it? How are you going to do it? Start with the end in mind, keep it in mind and achieve it by committing every day to achieving your goals.

OBSTACLES
What are the obstacles in your way of achieving your goals? Everyone has some obstacle(s) in their lives. Why do some succeed and others fail? Most obstacles are in reality, “excuses”. I have no time, no money, no support from my spouse, etc. Make obstacles your opportunity. No success comes easy. No one is going to give you anything. You have to earn it, the old fashion way. Follow the path of great athletes – set goals, have a plan, work hard, and live every day with passion.

SOLUTION
With a plan of action, freedom to achieve your goals happens. Get a partner and get in shape with your buddy. Get passion and love what you do. Renew your plan every day, every week, every month and share your passion with those around you.

WHEN
Successful people take action NOW. They don’t wait for the grass to grow under their feet. Too much analysis paralyzes people. Procrastination is a deal killer. Get the facts, make the decision and get moving towards your goals. You can adjust as you go, but get started today.

REWARDS
Don’t count your chickens too early nor spend what you don’t have. Build a solid foundation and let leverage (double a penny every day for 31 days and you will earn $10 million) work for you. J. Paul Getty said, "he would rather have 1% of a 100 people's efforts, than 100% of his own efforts".

Help others to achieve their goals and their energy and success with feed your passion and energy. Everyone has the ability to be great. Rewards don’t come without overcoming obstacles, experiencing growing pains and working hard. Set your self free from the common place and achieve the greatness within you.
