Mastermind 2012 Day 2, Even Better !!

Wow, that’s all my mind can articulate now as Day 2 came to a close.

Randy Gage kicked off Day 2 with a topic on Local Leadership. He defined leadership as causing people to do things willingly that they normally would not do. I learnt about the Roles of Leadership in this profession of Network Marketing and having the knowledge to know that you can see the greatness in everyone but not everybody wants to be a leader. He showed in precise details, the 5 levels of leadership.

Chris Brady followed right behind, as usual turned the whole audience laughing and kept them laughing through out his presentation. He read statistics why business fails and I learnt that I have not really failed until I blame someone else. He ended his presentation beautifully with a story of a man , scuba diver by profdession, who looked for spanish gold around Florida keys for 44 yrs with the  government against him, losing one of his sons to scuba diving accidents, only to achieve his dream in 1985 when one of his sons called him to tell him that they had discovered the treasure, and the man’s daily motto was “Today is the day”.

Sarah Robbins, a former kindergarten teacher, first time speaker at the Mastermind was the next speaker and she showed us how hungry she was for success and how coachable she was also. She typed prospecting to looking for Gold.
Richard Brooke, stood up to the podium next and talked about the bad name distributors give Network Marketing. He showed clips of interviews of distributors talking about how the product they were using took away all their pain and problems and he strongly advised not to do that because the product does not work on everybody the same way.

After the Lunch break, we had several break out sessions with different speakers, then the day was climaxed with a presentation “Start Starting and Quit Quitting” by a powerful couple,  Orrin and Laurie Woodward.

Laurie gave a  vivid description of her and Orrin’s stormy marriage years, how she had to learn to change herself, the committment she made to herself. We will always have obstacles in front of us , we can decide to veer off the road and quit or we can decide to keep going on and go over the obstacle.

Orrin told us to find the victory in every defeat. You know that you can be really bad at something  but if you persist you WILL succeed. The Only limit that really matters is the limit that we have set in our head. He ended with a final thought that greatness lies in each and everyone of you, and I MEAN YOU.

I cant wait for the 3rd and Final day, It will surely be ‘the bomb

 

Mastermind 2012 Day 1, What a blast !

What a day, What a day!!! Day 1 was a blast. Filled with some much fun and expectation.

I promised to keep you updated on it and I am here to keep my word.

Randy Gage was introduced as the first speaker and he gave a brilliant talk about the “Golden Era of Network Marketing” Talking about how by the next 10 yrs, Artificial Intelligence will surpass Human Intelligence, made me think about how the digital age has really developed. I also learnt that millions of jobs will be eliminated by technology in the next 2 years but also millions of jobs will be recreated ‘ especially in Network Marketing’ by technology. He also gave us insight to his new book just written, “Risky is the new Safe” which I recommend for networkers who want to succeed in their businesses to read.

The Next speakers were a couple of different diversities,  a Norwegian husband and a European wife, Orjan and Hilde Saele.    Hilde Saele spoke first emphasizing the importance of Napoleon Hill’s classic “Think and grow rich”. To think is to create, and she showed how she created herself from her thoughts as an 11 year old girl who read Napoleon Hill’s classic at Grandma’s house. She took us into a key feature of how we can develop Momentum and she called POSTURE.

Orjan Saele spoke next starting with his story potraying the lesson, “does it matter if I fail one more time?” His dream for us being that we have the feeling inside of you to go through any struggle to make our dream very real. He` showed 3 keys to Success and he showed how we can calculate our momentum score. I learnt that ‘BE THE PERSON THAT PEOPLE WANT TO BE AND PEOPLE WILL FOLLOW YOU’

After the Lunch break, Tom “Big Al” Schreiter  talked about skills to learn and what to aspire to learn in Network Marketing. ‘Well you know how…’ was an exercise he told the crowd to tell each other and this was very exciting for the next 35 mins.

Next Speaker was Mike Potillo, who talked about ‘looking beyond the Resume’. He told us with a story of how we should not give up on our dreams, just shrink them a little.

Jordan Adler, stepped on the stage next and delivered a fun filled oration of ‘ The day that swagger struck’. A question he asked was when in the struggle do we get our swagger? This is a thought that even as we go back to our various businesses, will forever remain on our mind.

There was a break for dinner, after which Chris Brady came onto the podium as the final speaker of the day. Knowing that the people were tired, Chris for the next 45 mins kept the people laughing as hard as he could before introducing us to vital points such as teaching consistency to your team, and if people do what we recommend consistently, it would also work for them.

The first day came then to an end with very high expectation for the next day which will bring much more in store.

Watch out for some videos coming up coming shortly.
