Raleigh Meeting 5-3-2011

Ok, was on the road last night and in the rain this morning and missed the weigh in-not sure if Margaret did or not. We had a fantastic learning experience last night and I have posted the notes that our Lovely Sherry Braswell made and forwarded. Take a moment or two and read through this- we have a huge tiger by the tail and it is going places. This is bigger than big folks-please don’t miss this train…

WOW!!!  What an INCREDIBLE night!  Words cannot express the energy that filled that room last night!  It was absolutely electrifying!  The words that were spoken last night pierced my soul like an arrow.  As I was sitting there listening to the nuggets of wisdom from our executive team it was like it was my very first meeting…as if I were hearing these words for the very first time. I want to share with you this am what I took from this very important night.

Annette Stover, our Diamond from Wilmington, opened the meeting with RVL weight loss results.
I was amazed by the story of Paul. His initial weight was 544 lbs.  The 1st week he lost 0 lbs, the 2nd week he lost 23
lbs and since our last meeting on April 12th he has lost 121 lbs!  Everyone stood up and excitedly applauded
and his face just beamed. It was wonderful to see this young man’s light up with pride as he told his heartfelt story. 
THIS is what it is all about, I thought…Changing people’s lives!
Annette explained The Cash Flow Quadrant, out of Robert Kiyosaki’s best selling book Business
of the 21st Century. This book has completely changed her life and the way she thinks.  “What you’ve seen
your whole life is what you think is reality, what you believe is real.”  A job will make you a living, but never a fortune.
Get this book…it will OPEN your eyes to a whole new world!

Scott Olsen, the very 1st distributor in MonaVie, then spoke. He was beyond AMAZING!  He has been in the network marketing industry for over 32 years!  He talked about having a belief system.  Do you believe in yourself?, he asked. “Do you believe in the possibilities of what can happen in your life?”  One of the greatest powers we possess is the power to choose.  Obstacles and adversities come into all of our lives.  HOW we choose to deal with them determines WHERE we turn up.  “MonaVie is the single greatest story and opportunity this world has ever seen”.  There are only 13 companies in 127 years that have EVER achieved 1 billion dollars…and MonaVie is the ONLY ONE that has EVER done it in 4 years!  We have created over 104 millionaires & paid out over 1 billion dollars in commissions! This company is giving YOU the opportunity to leave a legacy.  This company is far bigger than its founders…it will long outlive them.  And you’re NEVER to old to start, he said.  Jimmy Smith was 75 years old when he got into network marketing for the first time.  He is now a multimillionaire leaving a legacy for his great grandchildren.  Clara got involved when she was 55 years old. She is now 85 yrs old and & made millions leaving money for future generations.  MonaVie is no longer a startup…we are a worldwide global phenomenon!  Did you know that we will soon be opening in Russia, China & India?  We are currently in 18 countries and have accomplished that in 6 short years!  We have 3 new products coming out that we’ll be announcing in June at our Imagine Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah.  (hint: Skin Care might be one of them. Acai has amazing benefits for the protection & care of the skin).
Scott says that we spend so much time making a living that we don’t spend any time learning how to build a fortune.  Most of us were never taught that it was even possible.  We were taught to live in a box with restrictions and limitations because that is how our parents lived and were taught by their parents.  This business teaches you a new way to think.  It exposes you to people that have found their greatness and are willing to help you find yours.  You are exposed to people that are living their dreams and will inspire & help YOU to live yours.  Don’t worry about what others say or believe. People are negative because of their own self doubts and fears.  Your confidence scares them and challenges them to look at themselves.  Everything that has occurred in your life, good & bad, has prepared YOU for this moment...for this email I am sending you right now.  What will you choose to do with it?
All of our lives are intertwined.  You are here because someone touched you.  And there is someone out there waiting for YOU to touch them. 

Henry Marsh was the last to speak.  Henry is our co-founder and our Vice-Chairman.  His background is riddled with experience, setbacks & success.   Henry begins by saying some very profound words we all need to meditate on…”You will never succeed in life until you’ve failed.”  You must have a setback to find your GREATNESS.  Most people won’t ever find it because they haven’t had enough setbacks.  They want to play it “safe” and just be comfortable.  Being comfortable is a dangerous place to be because it breeds mediocrity.  The people who do the greatest things in life are the ones faced with the greatest adversity.  Look at Greg Barton, the Olympic kayaker.  He was born with club feet.  Most people would have looked at that as a reason NOT to compete because he couldn’t swim.  Greg use it to his advantage, found strength in it & used it to achieve Olympic greatness in the sport of kayaking.  WOW!  Does that give you a whole new perspective on obstacles or what?!   Henry really made me see that we should be THANKING God for our challenges and setbacks.  Without our setbacks we have NO opportunity for greatness. Think about it my friends…we are on this earth a very short period of time.  Don’t you want your life to really mean something?  What do you want people to say about you when you are gone?  What do you want your story to be?  Do you long for something more out of your life?  Do you want to be more & achieve more?  YOU CAN!  God put a seed of greatness in all of us!

Henry spoke of MonaVie’s humble beginnings.  Like all great companies MonaVie was started by the vision of a few great men who got together in the summer of 2003.  Henry was a four time Olympic athlete and an attorney.  He realized early on the importance of life equity and time leveraging.  Henry help develop the famous company Franklin Covey known for their extensive time management systems used by companies all over the world.  He left Franklin Covey for his dream of starting his own company.  He then hooked up with Dallin Larsen in June 2003.  They formulated the idea of Monarch Health Sciences while sitting in the hot tub of Henry’s basement.  A year later the company evolved into a nutritional beverage company & was named MonaVie.   A short six years later they have gone from the basement to the pent house of business success!  They are a blessed and favored company because of the foundational principles of which they based their company.  
Think about it….how much do you think YOUR life can change in 6 short years?  Just as MonaVie is a company meant to do significant things in this world…SO ARE YOU!
There are a handful of companies larger than MonaVie…Avon and Mary Kay being two of them that have been around for decades.  NONE have achieved the success of MonaVie in such a short period of time!  MonaVie has set all of the records!  Our products are cutting edge and based on millions of dollars of research & science.  Our promise has never been to be 1st to market but to be BEST in market & we have delivered each & every time.  We have always stayed ahead of the curve.  Our chocolate bars are coming out next week. Our samples packs & 2 oz. shots will be available in June.  And we’ll be launching some revolutionary new things at Convention in June…MAJOR product categories!  MonaVie is here for the long haul.  98% of companies go under after the first two years.  We are completely debt free & financially rock solid!

Henry ended the meeting with his Concepts of Success.  Henry had one of the very best Olympic coaches of all time and taught him valuable lessons about achieving success.  As I listened to him speak I knew that people’s lives would be forever changed by what they heard this man speak and then apply in their lives. 
“What separates MEDIOCRE from GREAT”? he asked. What awakens the Olympian within YOU? 
Urgency Vs. Priorities is the key.  We tend to focus on our urgencies.  Urgent things demand your attention right now and could be a waste of time.  Most people are content with comfort…which is the breeding ground for mediocrity.
They are “too tired to move.”  They are too tired to move because they have NO PURPOSE…they have NO PASSION!  Have YOU settled for mediocrity?  If you don’t know what’s important in life you will get comfortable.  You must find out what drives you.  What is your passion?  What is your purpose?

Success in life is about consistency and placing urgency on your priorities.  He drew a 4 quadrant diagram on a white board and explained that we spend most of our life in quadrant 3 which is the quadrant of mediocrity.
 Have you gone through your being day very busy but feeling at the end of the day like you have accomplished nothing?  This is because we waste our time in a reactive mode.  The secret of life & its abundance is in quadrant 3 which is God, our health, family & financial planning.  These are things that are important but aren’t demanding our attention right now so we let them slide.  These are things that are in the future that we need to act on today. When we don’t spend time in quadrant 2 we end up in Quadrant 1 which is in Crisis and Deadlines.  For example, when we don’t plan today for our retirement today we end up in crisis later in our elder years.   Quadrant 4 is Waste.  Anytime you find yourself doing anything in excess you are in waste mode.  Our goal is to shift from quadrant 2 to quadrant 3.  The secret to making this shift is finding your PASSION.   Henry defined Passion as the will and desire to sacrifice what you want now in pursuit of a dream or goal you want more. 
What do you want to be known for?
What do you want in life?
A year from today what will you be glad you decided to do?
A year from now are you gonna be glad you ate the right things?  Spent time with your children?

MonaVie is not the “it” in your life…it is the VEHICLE that creates the “it” in your life.  So many people have set artificial limits on their lives because society has told them they couldn’t co it.  Don’t let someone define your future.
God gave you ONE life & one life only!  Make it count!  Live it with passion!  Don’t compromise!  You need something BIG enough in your life that shakes you up & moves you out of that comfort zone of mediocrity you are in!

How do you place Urgency on your Priorities?
First ask yourself…how good do you want to be?  It all comes down to how much you’re willing to sacrifice and how consistent you’re willing to be.  Success is GUARANTEED if you’re consistent!  I heard Pastor Creflo Dollar say the
very same thing this am.  He said that there is a big difference between “faith” and “trust.”  Faith is confidence.  Trust is commitment.  Faith can waiver.  Trust never waivers.  It keeps going when faith does not.  Let’s face it…we’re all human and because of that our faith will be shaken at times because of obstacles and circumstances.  That’s okay because that’s when our trust (commitment) kicks in.  You must decide upfront that you are committed and will persevere even when you don’t have the faith (confidence) that things are working out as planned.  You must decide that you will finish the race no matter how long it takes and no matter how hard the road gets.  That is the kind of perseverance this great country of ours was built on. 

What is the most important Activity to do in MonaVie?
TALK TO SOMEONE.  It’s not complicated.  Just share the product and opportunity with people wherever you go.
Make it urgent that you talk to someone today.  Make the commitment to make a difference each day by sharing MonaVie with someone.  And listen to your self talks.  Don’t prejudge. Live your life in the “can do”. Don’t sign up any negative people into your business.  They hold you back.  

He ended the meeting with telling us how important it was to be at The Imagine Convention in Salt Lake City, June 9-11th.  The single best way to grow your business is to attend this convention!  World renowned Paul Pilzer will be there.  We will announce our 3 new products there!  To understand how HUGE this company is and the opportunity God has placed before you…YOU MUST BE AT THIS EVENT!  It will change you from the inside out!  You will be exposed to people you would otherwise never meet!  This is the MOST IMPORTANT MONAVIE EVENT OF THE YEAR!  Make your excuse your reason to go!  Invest in your future & BE THERE with us!  Go to www.monavieonthemove.com to register.  Early registration has been extended for one week.

For those of you who weren’t there I hope I captured some highlights of the meeting for you.  For those of you who attended THANK YOU for joining us in a history making night!  This is THE event that will catapult us to that next level!  We are indeed part of something BIGGER than each of us & it is a blessing to be part of it!

The reason I take the time to capture highlights of these great meetings is because I know for some of you hearing these words it’s all about TIMING.  I know that someone out there will read these words, the time will be right to receive them & a light bulb will come on for you.  My hope is that you realize that God has planted seeds of greatness  in YOU and it now time for you to water them & fulfill the destiny He has waiting for you!  WE BELIEVE IN YOU!!!   Many years ago someone believed in me & that is the reason I am here today sharing this great message with you.
We are all connected.  All of our lives are intertwined.  Once we are touched we must touch others!

We love you!  Have a great day!
