thereof?

This quarter-million dollar model is easier to understand

if we consider its leg-by-leg construction.

What is a Vollara Career Really Like?

Not all Vollara people see their careers in the same way. This page discusses the Bob Giddens view.

Bob's group is as large and profitable as the one shown in our model.

In the start-up phase of a career-sized business, a large share of your time has to be spent on prospecting and recruiting—with a focus on finding people who want to build careers. Career-building is not about giving out samples of water, selling air purifiers, or attending conference calls. Those things are separate. Career-building is about "initiating career inquiries" with dozens and dozens of people until you find those few who want what

Shy and/or insecure people can think of all kinds of excuses to NOT TALK ABOUT OUR CAREER OPPORTUNITY. They prefer talking about our products, not about careers. If your dream is to build a career, fight your way through this emotional block. To build a big network you have to find and develop sub-leaders. How is that going to happen if you're afraid to bring up the subject?

My start-up phase lasted for 18 months. During that time I personally recruited 80 people—an average of about 4 per month. 20 of my 80 joined with a definite career focus. 40 others expressed a so-so interest in building careers (but most "so-so" people never got around to doing much).

To achieve your goal, plan to do "focused recruiting" for at least a year or two. The time will come when you can focus all your energies on leadership. Keep reading!

Our model shows 7 major legs. A very strong career can be built from 4 legs if your legs are strong and deep. But when a leg is new it's impossible to know what you've really got.

Be careful not to assume you have X strong leaders before your legs take shape. Some people "say" they have 4 good legs when, in reality, their legs are not proven yet. It is good to think of your people as "promising" and to refer to them as leaders. That's a very affirmative thing to do.

Nevertheless, each leader has to undergo certain rites of passage. He or she has to weather some storms, prove his abilities, show his heart, and produce some downline results. Some will pass these tests, some will not.

As you study this model, don't think that legs #4, #5, and #6 are "small" just because you see only 1 box. Each box represents a Gold group—maybe 100 to 200 distributors, 5 or 10 of which are trying to become leaders.

The organization you see here has the potential to grow and earn 2 or 3 times the income we have projected. As long as your organization has strength on both sides (LEFT and RIGHT), a quarter-million dollar career can be built from just 4 strong legs. However, you should build a few extras to cover unforeseen challenges.

Once your "base of strong legs" is as wide as your goals call for, your main job will be leadership.

Initially, your focus was on prospecting and recruiting—as explained above. As your structure began to develop you had to increase your commitment to leadership. Perhaps your career will evolve like this:

When you have: zero strong legs...

When you have: 4 strong legs...

When you have: 5 strong legs...

When you have: 6 strong legs...

When you have: 7 strong legs...

^{You have to prepare yourself for the future. No time like the present to start learning.}

What is leadership? - Leadership is the ability to accomplish tasks by assembling, influencing, and coordinating other people and their diverse resources as opposed to accomplishing tasks through your own isolated, direct efforts.

The elements of Vollara leadership include:

[1]  being a good role model with respect to products, activities, methods, and success,

[2]  having and projecting a vision for the future and a strong belief in that vision,

[3]  planning and strategizing—and modifying your plans as needed,

[4]  teaching, coaching, inspiring, empowering others,

You don't have to sell. Bob Giddens is not a salesman. James Clendenin is not a salesman. Ed Hutchins is not a salesmen. JK Baker is not a salesman. These and many other individuals have built large and rewarding groups despite their aversion to selling.

Other people are different. Dan & Debbie Gibson are talented salespeople. Keith Jones is a talented salesman. Jo Ann & Maury Wilhoite are talented salespeople. They've build large groups, too.

Each of us has to play the hand we are dealt. If you like selling and are good at it, mix it into your system. If you like writing newsletters, write newsletters. If you like giving meetings, give meetings. Here's what will happen. Sub-leaders whose skills and resources are different from your own will emerge. The resources and ideas of all your people (in all groups/to unlimited depth) will inure to your benefit. We call this leverage.

Walt Disney wrote his early stories and drew the images. As his business grew, he became more of a leader and less of a cartoonist. He recruited employees. Some worked in management jobs as leaders. Other were artists, designers, musicians, actors, bookkeepers, writers and so forth. Walt dreamed of making animated movies. He envisioned a Disney television show. He created a theme park in his mind's eye. Through leadership, he turned all those ideas into reality. Did he ever stand behind a ticket booth and sell Disneyland tickets? Nope, not even once. But hundreds of millions of tickets have been sold.

Walt Disney died in 1966 at age 65. But his legacy and a billion dollar business live on.

If you choose Vollara as YOUR DREAM...

          If you choose a level and develop a plan for reaching it...

                    If you work on the skills you'll need and put them to use...

                              If you bring other people into your dream...

                                        If you fight through whatever obstacles come along...

                                                  And if you provide support and leadership to your people...

A Major Career Is Yours For The Building...

and you'll be influential in helping other people build careers.
