I have to say I love being a part of a business where $50,000 weeks are commonplace!
When I used to work a J.O.B, I was constantly trading my time for money...work an hour, make money for an hour. That's what most people do!
In fact, John and I were having a great conversation to day about "discount cards". You know...the cards you get from just about every store that you bring in to get special discounts or coupons.
Well, John went to Hallmark to get me a card (he's such a sweetheart) and the cashier was pressuring him to get the Hallmark discount card. She was so annoying about it, he finally gave in. And, then, as he was about to leave, she was telling him about all the coupons.
All this to get 10 cents off a $3.00 card. When John shared the story with me, I thought, she probably was so intent because that $3.00 seems expensive to someone making $7.00/hour. Think about it...she has to work almost 1 hour (after taxes) to make enough to buy the card.
And, if she wants to make more, she'll have to work more hours, maybe work some overtime, etc.
She doesn't understand the concept of leverage...benefitting from the efforts of others so the discount cards suddenly become absolutely meaningless in life!
The only way to true wealth is leverage.
So, how does someone achieve $50K in a week? It certainly isn't from trading time for money, it's from using leveraged systems...systems that employ duplication and allow you to leverage your time with others efforts and experience.

ABSOLUTELY $&#^$&#* INCREDIBLE!
I spent the last few days at Anthony Robbins Live Event Unleash the Power Within.
There are no words I could possibly use to describe it. Anthony Robbins is an amazing man...tireless energy, incredible passion, laser focus, total intention. The event was 4 days and I never wanted to leave the room. The power of the experience was sooooo impactful, the only thing I can say is if your SERIOUS about stepping your life up to the next level, ITS TIME FOR YOU TO SEE ANTHONY ROBBINS LIVE...or at least get a book or CD serious of his to start.
Now, I could sit here spewing about the ENERGY, the PHENOMENAL NETWORKING, the AMAZING PEOPLE, the POWERFUL EDUCATION....all of it. But what it all boils down to is RESULTS. And, ALREADY I'M SEEING THEM. I have the most powerful conversations in my business, people are calling me from everywhere looking to get started, and...I feel amazing!
I just read in an article that 1% of our society (about 3 million people) currently has as much money as the 100 million people who make up the 99%. Do you get that? 3 million people are worth as much in net worth as the other 100 million people. Why is that? Did they have more opportunity? Better education? More time? NO NO NO. A few of them may have had certain priviledges, but the reality is the MADE A DECISION TO BE IN THE TOP 1%. I did! I was raised in the lowest of the 100 million and DECIDED enough was enough...I was going to make it happen, be focused and move forward confidently!
It's simply a CHOICE!

Loving Life
I just got back from a fabulous week in Cancun, Mexico. Hanging out with other like-minded successful people is incredible empowering.
In Cancun, I met an extraordinary gentleman. His name is Shawn Achore. A Harvard Professor, Shawn studies the Psychology of Happiness. Now, I must admit. When I met Shawn, I expected him to be layered in tweed, smoking a pipe with his nose up. But, he was quite the opposite. Smiling, young, happy, magnetic and very, very cute!
Shawn's message was simply...happiness is a fundamental choice. It's an outlook on life that is critical to success.
This is something I've always known...a smile goes far in life. Smile and people smile back. Give and people give back. Help and people help back. It's the universal law of reciprocation...that which you put out comes back to you tenfold.
And now...they are studying it at Harvard.
It's wasn't surprising to find out that most of the professors at Harvard aren't necessarily open to studying happiness...or the effect of happiness. How do you actually quantify it?
In real world results. In income, in joy, in fulfillment. And, what they are finding is you have to choose happiness first. Things don't make a person happy, but being happy brings you things like money, great relationships, toys, etc. It's the Be,Do,Have principle that great men like Wallace D. Wattles, Napolean Hill, Steven Covey...all talk about.
So, I'm grateful that I'm naturally happy. Even when adversity strikes, I choose to find the light it in...the lesson, the value. That has brought me great success in my life and will continue to.

Make Each Day Count
I recently had the honor of meeting an extraordinary gentleman: Joe Miller.
Joe got started in my business at the age of 73. He got started with one of my associates, Joey, who is 21.
Joe and Marty Miller have been married for 50 years, have 2 sons and a lifetimeof love and memories together.
The business I have amazes me everyday. The diversity of people we attract is incredible. Just think about it: Joey is 21...just starting his life as an entrepreneur. He placed an ad in a newspaper and reached out to Marty and Joe, 73. Joe has had a lifetime of business experience, a lifetime of fun and adventures.
The connection between Joe and Joey was great from the first moment...so much so that they met for dinner in Joe's hometown of Prescott. Joe called me the next day to thank me for staying the course with LLI, because if I hadn't he said, he never would have found it. Joe and Joey both have a passion for living life to the fullest...to enjoying the adventure of life and fulfilling their potential.
I absolutely love my business. I've seen so many other business opportunities...but there's something so unique about LLI. It's the foundation of the business: people. It's the community of people assisting each other, it's the products that give people hope and transformation...enabling them to finally get the results in their life they desire. In my business, people authentically connect and touch each other's lives. They develop relationships and friendships that last lifetimes. This is a business of passion for passionate people who are committed to living life to the fullest. For 5 years, I've led the way and have been honored to do so everyday.
Joe Miller passed away this week. Marty shared with me that a few days before he passed he said to her, "I feel like a million bucks because of this business". Because we were here...passed the torch, lit the way and gave a helping hand, Joe Miller died with passion in his heart, with enthusiasm and a bright spirit. Marty said he was so happy in his last few days that it has been an honor to be a part of our team. His sudden and unexpected passing was softened by the knowing that he felt fulfilled and inspired in the moments before he left us.
I share this because everyday counts and what you do with time is what matters most. Yes, the money I make is fabulous...I admit I love luxury and luxurious things.
But what really lights me up is knowing that I've made a difference in the lives of many. Knowing that I've lit the way for people to transform their lives and live lives that are inspired and fulfilled. Knowing that each day I choose what I do with the time I've been gifted with and knowing that for the last 5 years I've spent almost everyday with my husband, enjoying who he is.
The moral of the story is I'm no different than you or Joe or Joey or anyone else. We all have the ability to choose the life we live.
And, this is available for anyone. To feel as though you've made a difference in the lives of your friends, your family, your community, your world. To enjoy the time you've been granted and live it to the fullest. It begins with a choice to choose a better life for yourself first and to inspire others by your actions and who you are being.
Joe Miller touched my life. Through our conversations, I realized that life is 100% what you create of it. At 73 he had more spirit than most 20 year olds I know. It gave me a vision for my future of living life to the fullest up until the last moment. And like everyone else, he didn't know how much time he had. People take time for granted and it's the most precious asset we have in the moment.
Today is the day. Enjoy it, live it, appreciate it.

World Traveler
John and I spent three weeks this summer journeying through Tahiti, Australia and New Zealand. We had the time of our life! We did everything from dance at a black tie gala, to caravan up the coast and explore with no set destination, snowboarded in NZ, stayed at the super posh Treetops resort and so much more. Enjoy my video slide show:

This Guy is Amazing!
Have you heard of Larry Winget?
He's the host of The Big Spender on A&E.
What an incredible guy! And funny too. I got to spend some time with him in Las Vegas at a Training Event...he was absolutely terrific. He's one of the those
people you meet who just say it as it is, no sugar coating, just the truth; plain and up-front. He got me thinking about the actions in my life that I have taken to produce the results I have, AND the actions I have taken that didn't. Action really is the defining line between getting results and not getting results.
You can watch the video I did about him here:

People Who Change the World: Bill Phillips
People often ask me what the key to my success in life has been.
It's simply been connecting with successful people and choosing to have them as my mentors.
I have many mentors in my life (most don't know they are), including Donald Trump, Oprah Winfrey, John Maxwell, Robert Kiyosaki, Anne Frank, and many others.
One of my mentors is a guy who has truly transformed the world; Bill Phillips.
I'm sure you've heard of him, the author of Body for Life and Eating for Life, his passion for helping people achieve health and balance is extraordinary.
In 1996, my grandfather, who was my best friend, passed away. Of all I had suffered through as a child, as an adult, I was devastated. I sunk into a deep depression and gained a significant amount of weight...over 100 pounds.
As I began to emerge from my depression, I came across Bill's book, Body for Life. I picked it up, bought it and used it. It was simple and practical. I ordered the transformational movie he produced, Body of Work. I watched it everyday for 2 months straight....and I still watch it.
After 90 days of working through Body for Life I took off 35 pounds. The second time another 30+. Finally, I was in great shape and feeling awesome.
Not only has Bill Phillips been a mentor to me for physical fitness, but also a demonstration of the law of reciprocation. That if I create value for other people, they will create value for me. He's inspired me to pursue my passion of becoming a talk-show host, creating a show on transformation to inspire people from all walks to realize their true potential.
Recently, I endured a terrible back injury. For almost 2 years I was unable to exercise or I was in rehabilitation. To make a long story short, I gained almost 30 pounds and my muscle mass went down significantly. I started Body for Life again on Sunday and am videotaping my progression...in case you are wondering, High Defintion video shows EVERYTHING...scary!
At the end of 90days I plan to create a video to share with people so they can see a real person getting real results. If we all use our own stories and set powerful goals, we can inspire people to realize they are unstoppable and can achieve anything they want in life.
I've had the honor of meeting Bill and being featured in his video. If you haven't seen his website, go to www.BillPhillips.com. He's on an international tour...do whatever you have to do to attend. I promise you it will be worth it. Simply by following his advice, connecting with is passion, I have seen remarkable results in my own life.
Bill truly is an example of what can happen in your life when you follow your passion, give to others and believe in people.
