DECIDE. Decide to change your group's momentum. The act of deciding is hugely important. Maybe you'll do some of the things in this email. Maybe you'll do better with what you've been doing all along. Consider this Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen." I just checked this quote for accuracy and, while Online, listened on YouTube to this inspirational song. I love it.

COMMIT. Commit to something! To yourself, to your family, to your future. To the Million Friends program, to making Executive and to finding other people who want to be at that level, to writing goals, to reading affirmations aloud every day for a week, to a blitz of activity for 50 days, to bringing a couple of new workers to the Million Friends system. In 2012, as I worked on updating this page, I clicked replay 4 times on YouTube. The Impossible Dream is playing. Can anything be more uplifting?

FLYERS. My flyer project is worth considering. Visit www.chippynews.com/OnePage.htm and see what you think. At the very least, read the front and back and pick up its ideas. If this flyer really grabs you, go through the steps to get your own front side original and order 500 personalized flyers for use in the next 100 days.

NETWORKING. These ideas all have more potential (through the magic of leverage) if you pass them along to your workers, inactives and prospects. You can send a link to this page... but you can do much more. Convey these ideas with passion, with a sense of urgency, with commitment and with transference. Transference means that you project ideas and actions into the lives of other people. "Pat, I don't want you to just listen to our calls. I want you to be a Million Friends leader. I want you find the right people and work to profoundly change them. I want you to do this not just with one person or a few...but many. I want you to transfer your beliefs, your dreams, your ideas and your passions to hundreds of people." I used Pat in my example. It could just as well be John, Rachel, Duane, Doris, Mary, Jo, Bea, James, Ed, Paul, Jim, Margaret, David, Karen, Sandy, Dick, Justin, Joyce or Jo Ann or Norm. This is about you.

SPIRAL NOTEBOOKING. Duane Hines has read the Spiral Notebook Plan three times since he wrote his goals and started participating in Million Friends. Duane isn't tearing it up but he's in the game and his mind is working. His efforts have helped to inspire Rachel Graves. I don't think there's a person in Vollara—including myself—who could not benefit from rereading the Spiral Notebook Plan. It contains dozens of ideas. It will stir up new thoughts and refresh things you already know.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE THAT'S BETTER? I know a guy (Drew) who owns a very profitable company. He makes big money, has assets in the bank, has good health and enjoys every aspect of his life. I know a medical doctor (Robert) who has a good income, a well-funded savings plan and a family that keeps him totally happy. My friends Jim & Margie started in MLM 42 years ago (sponsored by me). Unlike these few folks, most hard working Americans do not have it made. Many of us have worked VERY HARD for 20 or even 50 years and we still have to worry about money. At most, 20% of Americans are in the "have it made" category. The rest of America (and Canada) could greatly benefit from our offer. Even those top 20% could benefit from our air, water and nutrition products. For now, though, just think about yourself. Does your job or career have more potential than Vollara offers? If not, what's holding you back? What do you have that's better?

TRY SOMETHING NEW. Most of us find it easier to get excited about something we haven't tried before. New things are exciting, uplifting and fun. I'll leave it to you to figure out what to try.

SIX MOST WANTED LIST. This is list of the six people you would most like to recruit in the next four weeks. Put good people ONLY on this list. If someone convinces you they are not interested, pull their name from the list and add a new name. This is discussed in the Spiral Notebook Plan.

BUILD A LEG CHART. This is a list of your most important legs. A good leg chart should have the phone number of each leg leader AND three additional "best people" in that leg. The Executive levels require 4 or more good legs. Bob Giddens says that 12 good legs is a good goal for someone who wants to make a quarter of a million dollars a year or more. A good rule of thumb is to work on TWICE AS MANY legs as your goal calls for.

CHICKEN LIST. This is a list of people you would love to recruit but are afraid to approach. Make a chicken list and look at it every day. Your subconscious mind will help boost your confidence and give you ideas for approaching these people.

CHINESE WATER TORTURE. This follow-up technique involves sending something of interest (or making a phone contact) to people who are currently saying they are not interested but, in your opinion, are still good candidates.   

THINK OF AN IDEA THAT IS NOT ON THIS LIST.

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS. Make a list 50 blessings in your life. Fifty sounds like a big number but you'll be surprised at how blessed you are! Write about your good health and positive qualities. List people who have been important in your life. List books and movies that have impacted your life. Write about your greatest memories and greatest loves. I love doing this and you will, too.
