DIRECT SALES 8c NETWORK MARKETING

Direct SalesBefore there were stores, mail-order

catalogs, the Internet, or computerizedtelemarketing, people took theirmerchandise directly to their customers.Today, direct sales is an increasinglypopular way to sell products becausedirect sales is just that—direct.

One big advantage of direct selling isthat it provides the means for you tocreate a viable business of your own.Direct sales eliminates the "middleman"and puts more profit directly in yourhands. Thousands of people each daychoose to be in business for themselvesthrough direct sales. However, whichbusiness they choose can determinetheir long-term success or failure.

A Look at the DirectSales Industry

I Direct sales companies accountedfor global retail sales of nearly$100 billion last year.

• Nearly 40 million people areengaged in direct sales globally,doing business in 125 countries.

Who's Going into Direct SalesIn many parts of the world, the

"traditional" single-income family hasall but disappeared. Either both spousesare compelled to work, or a singleparent is responsible for the entirehousehold. In both cases, children maybe reluctantly left in the care of others.A career in direct sales is an attractivesolution to this modern dilemma. Ofcourse, parents aren't the only onesbenefiting from direct sales careers.Others entering the direct salesworkforce include:

• People who are tired of working forothers and want the freedom andindependence of their own business

• People who need extra income tofinance a college education, a down-payment on a home, remodeling,new furniture, travel, or a new car

• People who want to supplement theirfixed incomes.

Let's face it, beginning a new businessventure can be expensive and risky.Most new businesses don't begin to turna profit for two to five years, if at all.Because of this, most people believethey could never afford to start a

business of their own. But with GNLD,you can. Anyone can!

GNLD's Network MarketingAdvantage

There are many different kinds ofdirect sales businesses. You may befamiliar with door-to-door sales (Avon,etc.), or even party-plan sales(Tupperware, etc.). Network marketingis simply another form of direct sales.

The great advantage of GNLD'snetwork marketing system is that itallows you to not only reap the rewardsof product sales to customers, but alsoto teach others to do the same—andthen earn commissions on their sales!In addition, you're able to offer eachperson you work with a chance to betheir own boss, too, as well as anunparalleled opportunity for security,tax advantages, and the prospect of asizeable, flexible income—with only asmall investment of time and money tostart. As those in your growing networksucceed, so do you!

With GNLD, Network Marketing is assimple as Using the Products andTalking to People.

THE THE ESSENCE OF VITALITY

LIVE LONG! LIVE WELL!

Science has shown that a special group of nutrients called poly-phenols, drawn from an equally special group of foods referred toas Super Fruits, plays a wide range of critical roies in supportingand maintaining optimal health, longevity, and cognitive capacitythroughout life. This research tells us that when these polyphenolsare absent from or deficient in our diets, aging processes areaccelerated and disease risk is higher. Conversely, when they areabundant in the diet, aging is slowed and disease risk is lowered.

Based in Nature— by ScienceTRE - Nutritional Essence of Super Fruits

Not just juice, Tre is a bioactive nutritional essence—a pure blend ofthree of nature's most potent, health-enhancing ingredients:Pomegranate, Acai berry, and Green Tea.

These phytonutrient-rich Super Fruits join forces with Inflox, anexclusive proprietary blend of deep, dark berries—blueberry,elderberry, bilberry, cranberry, black currant, and red andwhite grapes.

This unique blend is further enhanced with two powerful,scientificallyvalidated anti-aging antioxidants: resveratrol and alpha-lipoic acid.*

Tre provides nutrients that support the body's natural ability to fightthe evil twins of aging and disease: inflammation and oxidation.*

A potent essence of nature, based on a solid foundation of science,Tre represents the next frontier in the pursuit of lifelong health andvitality.

PURPOSE DEFINES YOUR DREAMSDREAMS DETERMINE GOALSGOALS MAP OUT YOUR ACTIONSACTIONS ACHIEVE RESULTSRESULTS BRING YOU SUCCESSSUCCESS FULFILLS YOUR PURPOSE

1- Goals must be big but not unrealistic

2- Set short term goals - one year, Mid range - 1-3 years, and long range - 3 to 5 years.Break down your long range goals into short and mid term goals. What do you have to do on adaily, weekly and monthly basis to reach your goals. Ex. You want to be a Sapphire Director byDec. 1998. How many people do you need to talk to daily? How many people do you need tosponsor into the business weekly? How are you going to go about doing that? Break it down intonumbers of phone calls daily. How many home parties? If you have other people sponsoredalready what are you going to do to help them build their businesses? You will probably haveother ideas as well but these are just some suggestions to get you thinking about the specifics.

3- goals must be daily - when you choose a habit you choose the end result. Men don't decidetheir future, they decide their habits and that decides their future.

4- be specific - VERY

Action Steps

1- list in category of importance

2 - list obstacles - make a plan of how to overcome

3 - know what it takes to get there (usually requires change) pg 97 in Success JourneyIf we don't change we don't grow.

4 - mentally prepare yourself- decide what you have to give up to go up. Talk yourself through it.YOU DON'T PAY THE PRICE FOR SUCCESS, YOU ENJOY THE PRICE OF SUCCESS.YOU PAY THE PRICE FOR FAILURE.

5 - believe in what you're doing. Visualize

You've expressed a desire to generate an income from this wonderful GNLD Business,Before we proceed I have found it beneficial to do these things first, maybe you won't completethe assignment but at least begin it and be working on it as you go along. This assignment willhelp you remember the "why" of your business when you have setbacks. Do some work on iteveryday. Keeping it in front of you will keep you excited and focused.

I. Purpose - what are your talents and gifts, where do your strengths lie? One way to determinethat is to think about what you love doing, what excites you about getting up in the morning?Write this down. What would you like to be remembered for now and after you're gone?

n. Dreams - you don't have to know how you're going to do it or even if it will ever really happenbut it's something you love the idea of, write it down. Don't be afraid to dream big. I would loveto go on a cruise ship with Charles Stanley to Alaska. I wanted to go to Europe and we earned anall expense paid trip, the same with Hawaii. New home, dream vacation, be able to rent a cabinand have our whole family there. What kind of car, be specific on model, make, color, etc. Go ona missions trip, help all of our children with any college of their choice. Help them buy a home.There are all kinds of exciting ideas.

HI. Goals - strategy and planningBe sure to be balanced setting goals for:

Physical - desired weight, exercise goals, hair, wardrobe, etc.Financial - what do you need to live on? Set up a budget, there are some excellent booksout on how to do this, with work sheets. Freedom comes from living on a budget, yourmoney will go farther and you'll find yourself to be a better steward of that which you haveand as your income grows it won't get swallowed up.Spiritual - what needs do you see in your life here? How could those needs be met? Howmuch and when do you want to pray, read your Bible, meditate, etc. What type ofministry would you like to have? We have found this business to be a wonderful adjunctto meeting the needs of the whole person, (a) physical needs - improved health, weightcontrol, (b) spiritual & emotional - personal growth and development takes place withthe growing of a business, and © financial - wonderful business, income opportunity.Career - ideas for growing your business. What skills do you need to develop to be moreeffective? Be more positive, complain less. Develop communication skills, etc. What isyour income target, what title are you working towards. Identify the groups and or peopleyou will need to work with to achieve your career goal.Family - how are your family dynamics? What needs do you see here? What would youlike to see happen with your family and what can you do to help? How about a familynight, one night a week?Social - develop friendships, gain communication skills. Make a list of groups ororganizations you would like to be a part of that would help you reach your goals.

Roosevelt: Booker TWashington: " / have horned that success to be measured notso much by the position that one has reached in life as by theobstacles one has overcome."Zig Ziggler: Failure is an event not a person:The significance of our purpose is often defined by theseverity of the obstacles we face Winston Churchill.Food technologyWhat impassions you?

WRITING YOUR PURPOSE

Don't judge any of what you write. Just write, no matterwhat comes up. No Conditions. No limitations. Let yourthoughts flow out on the paper.

1. If I didn't have to work for a living what would I loveto do? (to clarify- this question is about "Doing what youlove").

2. If I were just given 1 milion dollars tax free, whatwould be the first thing that I'd do with it? (now please,DO NOT SAY "pay off bills." Of course you'd do that. Forgetabout survival. We're talking BIG prosperity here. I wantyou to stretch yourself and think of what you'd really LOVEto do with the money.)

3. If I learned that I had six months to live what would Ido with the rest of my life? (These are six healthy months.No pain or debilitating disease. What would you do?)

YOU KNOW YOU'VE GOTTEN TO THE ESSENCE WHEN YOU SIMPLY CAN'TANSWER THE QUESTION ANY OTHER WAY.

""""" YOUR LIFE'S PURPOSEIt is important to get in touch with your life's purpose. You are what you think you are.Therefore you need to write down your life's purpose because it will be what motivates you, givespassion to what you do and will activate your business. A life's purpose is unending. Its notsomething you accomplish, then quit and retire. In fact, a good test for the truth of yourprospective purpose is that if you can see an end to it, it's not your real purpose!

MY LIFE'S PURPOSE:

Now read over your life's purpose...what do you think?...How do you feel?Feels great, doesn 't it!

Get in touch with your life's purpose, keep it before you for it will give you -yvhat vou need toactivate your business and help you accomplish your goals and dreams.

"Just as the rich rul| the poor, so the ̂lender," Proverbs 22:7 : :

ByTofirFE SchrocRTBuFmessman

Underline the key concepts found in thisprinciple,

How many times have we heard thestatement, "I want to have my own busi-ness so I can be my own boss." That

.sounds good, but then people get intobusiness only to find out that they arenot really the boss...that is, if they wantto be successful. In order to be in busi-ness and be successful, there are usuallyfour bosses to answer to—

1. Government: Uncle Sam will be regu-lating your business, and letting youknow who is the boss. If you workhard and do well, he will watch overyou even more diligently, imposingrestrictions on you. He may notalways be right, but he will always bethere to regulate you.

2. Customers: They will dictate whatyou do, how you service them, andwill make sure you do it with a smile,that is, if you are going to be success-ful.

3. Your bank or lender: Since the bor-rower is a servant to the lender, youwill be honest and kind to him or hewill cut off your credit. He will nothave mercy on you if you miss a pay-ment

4. Your Employees: They determine ameasure of your failure or success.They are not slaves, you will treatthem right, or you will not have them.

So, having your own business is notnecessarily about being your own boss,because business is serving people andtheir needs.

Ownership, however, does have

many good things to offer if we will paythe price. There are various reasons whywe want ownership. For instance, it maybe a God-given desire. For God said, "Ihave given you [mankind] dominionover everything; you are to be fruitful[develop] and rule [subdue] the earth"(Genesis 1:28). We are made with theinstinct" to'rule arid to conquer. Man v?asmade for the earth. It is like God createda business and made man to manage it.By giving man ownership for things hedevelops, he gains incentive to managewell. We are made in God's image andHis likeness, and our style should be likeHis. Business is not always easy, as weemploy and compete with others. Thiscan cause conflicts and frustrations. So itis important to service each other andestablish arenas and jurisdictions forourselves and our businesses. We mustalways consider our fellowman, for healso wants to rule.

Godly business people enjoy theresponsibility that comes with owner-ship. They like it, and they are fulfilledand enjoy going to work. They are calledinto business by God, just as pastors arecalled into the ministry. They are tire-less, full of energy, with a productiveattitude. They are not afraid of prob-lems, and take risks. They consider Godas their partner, who gave them talents,and are out to increase the value of thegift God gave them (Matthew 25:15).

This makes ownership fulfilling. Theend result of their labor is wealth.Business people are like Solomon whochose wisdom to manage (rule). As hebecame wise, he also received riches,honor and fame. Be careful, becausestepping into ownership demandsresponsibilities, and there are many whodo not accept this view of business own-

ership. They are greedy and money-dri-ven with no mercy for others. They willlie, cheat and steal to get what they want.But if we do business for the right rea-son, it can be very rewarding. It was sodesigned by God.

This principle is part of the one year characterdevelopment program:Foundations For Achievement
