The event will feature real work strategies from LifeWave leaders and leadership tips. The text also emphasizes the importance of personal growth and developing others for success, highlighting the need for intentionality in these areas.
➡ Kirk Campmeyer taught John the importance of intentional personal growth, changing his life. John learned that growth isn’t automatic and requires a plan. He also discovered that many people fall into “growth gaps”, such as assuming they’ll grow without effort or not knowing how to grow. John’s first personal growth kit, which he bought in the 1970s, was a significant step in his journey towards continuous self-improvement.
➡ The text emphasizes the importance of personal growth in achieving success. It suggests that new opportunities and products can boost business growth. The speaker shares his experiences of personal development and how it led to his success in various ventures. He encourages the audience to commit to personal growth, stating that it prepares one for opportunities and leads to success in life.
➡ The speaker emphasizes the power of positive thinking and visualization in achieving personal goals, such as acquiring a desired car. He also highlights the importance of personal growth and making public commitments to keep oneself accountable. He suggests identifying at least two areas for personal growth, one being a choice (like attitude) and the other a skill, and dedicating an hour daily to these areas. This hour should be divided into preparation, practice, and reflection, with each aspect being equally important.
➡ The speaker shares his experience on how to connect with an audience, emphasizing the importance of preparation, practice, and reflection. He also discusses a problem with a customer becoming a brand partner and losing their points, suggesting a policy change. The speaker encourages everyone to sign up for a new compensation plan and provides the link. Lastly, he talks about leadership, advising to walk ahead, beside, and behind the people you lead.
➡ Leadership involves leading from the front as an example, alongside as a friend, and from behind as an empowering figure. It requires flexibility and the ability to adjust plans as needed, rather than sticking rigidly to a pre-set strategy. Effective leaders also understand the importance of communicating changes to key personnel and allowing time for acceptance. They also need to understand their compensation plan and how to influence others to build their team.
➡ The discussion revolves around the transition from being a regular customer to a brand partner in a company. There’s confusion about the points system, with some believing that points from large purchases should be kept as an incentive for others to become brand partners. The company offers various benefits and training to help people understand the system better. The goal is to help people make money quickly, choose a career path within the company, and get rewarded for their progress.

Simultaneous Spanish translation is gonna be happening the lunch break between 11, 12, 30. So we’re going to have our very own Gregory, Robin Mascari. And who else is in there? Oh, well, ker.

Robin and Gregory are just coming back today from the Bahamas to this thing. Yes. Excellent. I know. Pretty busy. Do you want me to share the screen? Do you have the actual link that people can use to link to it? Let me make sure I have that. Yeah. All right. I’m just going to mute because my dogs are barking at somebody. Okay. We have dogs here too, but they’re not barking. I don’t know.

I’m at a niece’s house now. Upstairs. While Roxanne does that, I want you guys. We’re Gonna watch John Maxwell, what it really takes to be great at something. I’m gonna watch that for a little bit. We’ll talk about it. And it’s going to be kind of like what we’re gonna do our show on today. And we’ll take questions from anybody, if anybody has any questions, in a little bit. But let’s listen to some of this first. You see, nothing is great. Oh, I got it. Until the life has changed. You do understand that. So you, you can have a good conference.

You can’t have a great conference. Great is only what they do with it after the conference. You have a good book, but the book becomes great when it changes the life. And so many times we count our victories before we have victories. We count our victories because we just look good across the stage. Everybody clapped and everybody was happy. We thought, oh, my gosh, what a good conference. Everything escalates and gets better where the people get better. And if the people don’t get better, it wasn’t that good. And if the people don’t change, if people don’t grow, if the people just aren’t reproducing, it never becomes great.

See, leaders understand greatness is. Begins with them and what they teach and inspire their people to be and do. But the result of greatness is in the proof of the people. It’s in the people. So if you say, well, I’m a great leader, well, how many great leaders have you? So how many people are great leaders? Do you feel yourself a great leader or do you, do you just exist in your, your organization? Anybody. Anybody want to share on that one? So for me, being, being a, a leader is to lead by example. So, you know, building, building the business, building it as big as I can.

All right? So for two years, figure straight, the number one customer acquirer in the business. So, you know, setting the example moving forward. Anybody else got anything on leadership? Yeah, go ahead. I, I used to teach leadership and, and I think part of leadership, and I do believe you guys exhibit this is servant leadership. So you lead, but you lead with ethics, and you lead with a way to serve others. And I think that that’s the theme we’ve got here. And John Greenleaf set that up in corporations worldwide about 50 years ago. But it’s a very powerful vision of being a servant leader.

And I, you know, I believe that’s what we are. And I do. I signed somewhat up today, Michael, and I’m going to sign someone else up here. So I’m working it, I’m working it. So it is working. It also, but, you know, it’s, it’s also just being there and making sure that you’re serving the world, the planet, and getting. I, I told someone today that you have this vision, we all do, of healing the planet and making God’s light shine through everybody, whatever your religion, you know, and traditions. So anyway, that’s my little thing, if anybody cares.

Yeah, it’s definitely being of service. You know, your, your wealth is direct proportion to how many people you’re serving. So that’s pretty standard in a lot of these organizations. So ask yourself, you know, where, where you’re at as far as like, you know, serving other people. So do you feel like you’re serving a lot of people? Sal, you’re muted. Sally, Sorry about that. Hi, everybody. Hi, Michael. I don’t look at myself as a great leader, but people do arrive on my, in my sphere. And I am a leader by service, definitely, and with healing. We had a guy call in the other day whom we met, had a sort of freedom group and he was talking about setting up alternative community.

And some people don’t feel they’ve got any gifts. And I think we all have gifts and we don’t always know what our gifts are because we don’t know how other people are perceiving us. So we had this sort of nice discussion about that. And then as he was going out, I offered to check him with the work that I do, which is very hard to explain, but when he got off the table, he had the lighter turned on and it was just such a joy. And you never know when an opportunity is going to arise. So as far as Lifewave goes, I haven’t been successful yet in getting people to sign up, but you know, I’m still looking forward to that and I’m sharing.

Sally, I want to add, have you ever asked anybody to do a three way with you? Because I’d be happy to. From the United States. I just do a zoom and then it’s as, as Michael’s taught and we’ve taught that if you have someone with you talking about it, people get more enthusiastic and they might. So I’d be happy. Just set me up a time and we’ll do my zoom and talk to your friend with you, maybe make it happen. That’s wonderful. Thanks, Jenny. So they haven’t expressed that much interest yet, to be honest. Oh. But yeah, but I’m, I’m telling them about it and I’m showing them our patches and they’re looking at Nick in particular, who’s doing so well.

And it’s, you know, it’s slow down here in New Zealand. I have a niece down there right now. That’s what so great. Thank you, Jean Michael, you’re muted. So let’s get back to Maxwell and see what he has to say on leadership. Any success, if I’ve had any success at all, the secret of that success has been personal growth in my life. And growth has literally placed me where I am. So what are you doing to develop yourself? It’s a huge question. And the 15 laws of the 15 laws of personal growth, basically these laws are all about developing yourself and developing.

The second question, what are you doing to develop others? You see on the first question, you’re foundational for your future. The second question is all about compounding multiplication before you build a huge business when you know how to develop other people. And what we have to understand about the law of intentionality is that you cannot develop yourself and you cannot develop your people unless you’re intentional. And I discovered that in my 20s when I sat down and had breakfast with a guy named Kirk Campmeyer at the holiday in the Lancaster, Ohio. When he asked me the question, john, do you have, do you have a plan for personal growth in your life? Didn’t have a plan.

Didn’t know I was supposed to have a plan. Nobody ever told me I’m supposed to have a plan. I graduated, I was working hard, doing my very best to reach my potential. But nobody ever walked in my life until Kirk Campmeyer did and said, john, do you have a plan for personal growth in your life? And I didn’t have one. I was embarrassed. I thought back then I had to have answers and so I acted as if I did. And that didn’t really work very long. I was kind of like a plane circling airfield trying to come in for a landing valley.

I just shut up and landed that plane. And he looked at me and I’ll never forget, he said, you don’t have a plan, do you? And I said, no, I don’t have a plan. Then he said to me, john, growth is not automatic. If you’re going to have to grow, you’re going to have to grow on purpose. That day my life was changed. What Kurt was saying is, if you’re going to grow, you have to be intentional. I mean it, it start, it starts with me. So, so look at the person you’re seated beside and just say to this, this will kind of be like a get acquainted time with them.

Just look at him and say, you really need to improve. Go ahead and tell now. Wasn’t that fun? Wasn’t that fun? Just look, somebody said, you know, you really need to improve. Yeah, it’s just, I mean, it’s just, it just rolls naturally off the tongue. Now look right back at him and say, I need to improve. Now. You said that with a lot less enthusiasm. I mean, did you hear that when I said tell the other person? I mean, it was loud. You need to improve. I need to improve. Now. The problem is we have what I call growth gaps.

The reason that we’re not intentional in our growing is there are just some gaps that keep us from, from getting to where we need to go. And I’m going to give you about a half a dozen of them really quickly. The first one is, is the assumption gap. And the assumption gap just basically says, or is, I assume that I’ll grow automatically. You see, most people that are by assumption, 99 of people today are assuming, just assuming that somehow they’ll get better. Very sad, folks, very sad. Because let me tell you something about assumption. Assumption is a huge disappointment in life.

You show me a person that assumes, and I’ll show you a person that almost daily is disappointing. So the first gap is a gap that leaves many people short. That’s just a pure assumption gap. The second one is, is the knowledge gap. So in the military, we have, we play on these things. That’s the, the zoom is. It’s going to make an ass out of me. So we don’t, we don’t, we never assume. So we always take, you know, definite steps to improve ourselves and to, you know, that’s, that’s what I did in my, my career in the Navy and CIA.

And now here in Life Wave, I’m always finding the next thing that I can do. I don’t assume that it’s just going to pop into my lap. I’m looking, I’m looking to improve myself constantly, to reach a higher level of perfection. Constantly moving, moving, moving and trying to perfect looking, you know, doing, doing shows like this and interacting with people. Now, has anybody. Roxanne, Go ahead. You’re muted. Sorry about that. Something that, you know, over the years, working in medical, being a nurse, we would always say, don’t ever assume because it makes an ass out of you and me and just exactly what you just said.

So we can’t assume. We have to see it and do it and be it, be in it. Right. So that way it will work for us and hopefully others too. But that’s, that’s my Little tidbit on us. That’s good. And then we don’t assume that it’s going to help other people. We like, you know, give them the information they need to achieve. And then we continually do that as, as we get, you know, more progressive as far as, like our success, then more people are going to be attracted to it. And that’s what you guys are.

Some of you guys have been experiencing that. You, you share your experiences and people are attracted to you and the more people are attracted to you and so forth. So now the compensation plan, like we’re, like we’ve been saying, is supposed to start to reward us a lot more. Go ahead, Rexon. Shelly was graciously able to find and post the link for the video tomorrow. Very good. Thank you, Shelley. It’s in the chat. Yeah, thank you. Lovely. All right. So, you know, listening to, you know, people that teach other people how to be successful is a great way, but having a discussion along with it like we’re doing takes it to another level again, is what I found, what I’ve noticed for over time.

So you can just like listen to somebody and kind of like goes in one ear, out the other. But if you have discussion about it and you get involved in the discussion, it takes another level again. So the more that you listen and more that you get involved, the better success you have going forward. And the knowledge gap is, is basically, I don’t know how to grow. And we’ve all been there. In other words, okay, I know that I need to be intentional, my growth, but I really don’t. I really don’t know how to grow. I’ve been there.

Now I brought something with me today that’s very special. It’s a kit. And, and I, I’m just so pleased to have this because this kid is very important to me. Now. It cost me $799. And, and I got this kit. I got this kit back. I got this kit back in 19, in the 1970s, okay. And, and this was my first personal growth kit. It’s, you know, Dynamics of Personal Goal Setting by Paul Meyer, personal success planner. And I was so excited. It cost $799. I. Now you have to understand, I made about $800 a month.

So get the picture. It took me six months to buy this kit. I saved up. We didn’t have credit cards back then. I just, I just saved up and worked hard and it took me six months before I had enough cash to, to buy this kit. And I was so, I was so excited When I got it and I opened it all up and this is just amazing. I just, it had, I mean, you’ll just see some things here that just crack you up. It had. For some of you young people, you’ve never seen this before.

Cassette tapes. Now how many, how many of you guys actually. Yeah. Had that? Of course. But how many of you guys have gone to sleep with cassette tapes or CDs playing so that it could program you. Yeah. Very good. Very good. Your subconscious. So that’s, that’s another, you know, technique that you can use. I’ve tried quite a few of them over the years. I don’t know that the going to sleep with it actually worked. Maybe it did. But, you know, I, I tried everything like he’s talking about. You try lots of different things, you listen lots of different information and at some point it starts to click.

It start to click and you just start to, you know, you know, make progress. Now, I’ve been to, I’ve been in a lot of other businesses, but none of them have been successful like Lifewave because it’s a, it’s such a great product and it’s easy. You don’t have to have inventory on and on and on. This is so many different things that make Life Wave easier. And the compensation plan is coming up tomorrow, which hope, hopefully everybody will be watching tomorrow will give you even more insights of what’s coming now. This month also, we’re having the, what’s, what’s the new stuff? The energizer stuff.

Seller, Jaze. So seller comes out. It’s supposed to come out this month. I still have a, we still have a little bit. We’re like, we just take a little bit, put it in the drinks. So to make the little thing that we have, we had, we had several of it once. I were like, ah, this is going to last forever. We’ll have plenty by the time they start to ship it again. So that comes out and that should start to boost everybody’s business because then we can talk about cellergize and X39 giving us the ability to activate our stem cells.

So the two together gives us the legal right to begin to talk about stem cells again. So when you talk about both of those, you can bring that up. That was kind of like a little bit of a setback because FDA likes to play games with very successful things that make people healthy. So. So they came in and basically tried to shut the business down for using stem cells. Now, granted, there are some companies out there that are, you know, Promising all kind of crazy stuff with stem cells but there’s, there’s none that are as successful as Life Wave.

Nothing touches it. So you got some really great stuff that’s coming and we look forward to more of those things. Of course we have the compensation plan. It comes in I think July and also the water machine comes in July. So lots of things are going to be ready to kick. So having your business, you know, established, having people within your business and so forth, are having contacts or talking to people about the stuff and then when all these other things come in, you get to talk at up even more. So if you haven’t been successful, you know, garnering more people coming to your business with these, with these new products are coming in, I think it’s going to be, you know, really catapult a lot of us forward quite a bit.

So let’s go back to Maxwell and listen to him to a little bit more. I remember taking the first cassette tape out, put it on my little cassette player, opening this up. Oh my gosh, this was so wonderful. That wasn’t. They had, I mean they had page by page plans this and I mean I, I go through the plans and listen to the tapes and go through the plans. This is the tape. Go to plants this tape. This is my first growth experience. And the ROI on this, $799. It’s worth millions of dollars to me. Did you hear me right? Millions of dumbs and experiences and a lifetime of growth.

And what’s interesting is now here’s what I want you to hear. The value of this kit, the content was good but that wasn’t the value. The content was good but. But as I look back now, I say what made this so special? What made this so special is very simple. This is the kit that got me started. Hear me out. The value of what you do for people is not so much what you give to them as much as it challenges them to get started. Getting started is absolutely the key to life. And by the time I finished going through this personal growth kit, by the time that was all finished, I have six months of day in, day out personal growth.

And what it is, it developed a habit in my life. And by the time I finished with that kit, now I’m used to spending time every day in personal growth. It got me started. I mean this is worth this whole lesson. If you could just get this. The reason I’m so passionate about personal growth is personal growth keeps me prepared. In other words, if I’m continually growing, I continue developing Myself. And I’m continually learning, and I’m continually doing new things and going to another step higher. Can I tell you what that is? That. That constant growth is the preparation for the opportunity.

So when the opportunity comes, here’s the way. You don’t go into an opportunity. You grow into an opportunity. And so I’m passionate about personal growth because for that person who says, wow, I had an opportunity, I wasn’t ready. If you’re growing, you’re always ready. Because after I intentionally started growing, I made a commitment to grow as a leader. I started writing, I became an author, I developed growth resources for other people. I founded my first company, I began training conferences. Everything I can think of that has ever been good in my life was a result of the fact that I started personal growth in my life.

And I, I can say that that is definitely something that I experience as well, the personal growth. You know, even though some of these businesses weren’t wildly successful, it was the, you know, the doing, uh, getting involved with, uh, courses and books and so forth on, uh, personal development growth that I did over, you know, decades and decades of. Always had the intention, when I, even as a little boy, of growing a business and having a big business. I’ve had little. I’ve had businesses, you know, you know, for decades over my life, but again, nothing of this caliber.

And probably one of those is because I dedicated myself to this more. There was, There was a time where I was a Navy seal. I had businesses. They weren’t so successful because I was a Navy SEAL first, you know, and then there were times where I was doing businesses when I was in the caa, but they weren’t all that successful because I was in the caa. And then there were businesses that I’ve had, you know, since then that were great because I focused on them. You know, my court, the courses I did for remote viewing and all that kind of stuff.

Wildly successful because I focused on them. I, I left what I was doing. I grew it to a certain, certain level like probably some of you guys are doing. You’re growing your business to a certain level, and at some point it may reach that level where you can launch and go full time and, and, you know, really develop it. So that’s what I did with my courses. And then my courses led to, you know, being a influencer and growing large audiences and so forth and book writing and all the, all the crazy stuff that you do for success.

First I developed myself and I became active. So being active and developing yourself is, is huge. And Obviously, everyone that’s here right now, 45 of you and maybe more, probably thousands more that will watch it later, are developing yourself. So you’re, you’re constantly building upon success every time you do something like this, whether you’re aware of it or not. So that thing that I was talking about where I would go to sleep and tapes are playing, subconscious is building. So just by, you know, coming to these, these groups and, and working within a group like this, you’re building that subconscious.

And at some point when the opportunity presents itself, you’re like, there it is. And then you’ll, you’ll take action. So the more action you take as you’re building, your success strategy along the way will start to, you know, incrementally lead to more and more and more and more success. So that’s where we are, that’s where many of us are at right now. And so let’s, let’s go back to Maxwell and see a little bit more, see what else he, he can share with us. He can share a lot. He’s, he’s spoke at the last, last Lifewave conference.

Uh, absolutely incredible man. Great, great leadership and personal development. I know, I know I’m known for leadership. I understand that. But my passion in life more than anything else is personal growth. Because if you grow personally, you can be a great leader even if you don’t grow up. Firstly, you can’t be a good leader. Everything in life, everything in life that you’re ever going to want is based upon your ability to develop yourself. So Kirk Kampmeier said, john, you can’t just accidentally grow. You got to grow on purpose. And so I started, and I got to thinking yesterday when I was getting ready to kind of my last preparation for this lesson, I got started.

And guess what? When I got started, let me tell you what I didn’t have. I didn’t have experience. I didn’t have knowledge. I did not have a model, I did not have a mentor. I did not have a plan. I did not have a fellow traveler. I did not have resources, I did not have money. I, I did not have a growth environment. But I got started. You don’t stop or not start because of what you don’t have. You don’t start because you don’t realize yet that the fruit of everything good in life begins with a challenge.

There’s nothing easy in life worthwhile in life. Everything is uphill that’s worthwhile. And it’s not going to come to you, and it’s not going to Fall in your lap. It’s always going to be difficult. So how do we go from growth doesn’t just happen to making growth happen? Now here’s the practice. And you just don’t want to miss this because I’m going to. I’m going to give you some stuff right now. This is pure gold. Okay. This is so good. I hardly want to give it to you. And the reason I hardly want to give it to you is because it’s so good.

I don’t want you to misuse it. So, so look at the person you’re sitting beside and, and just say, take notes and don’t mess up. Just tell them that. Just take notes and don’t mess up. Okay? I’m going to give you. I’m going to give you an intentional growth plan right now. It’s just so simple. Let’s go. Okay, here’s. Here’s my intentional growth at number one. Number one, make a commitment to intentionally grow that. That’s where it starts. You say, well, John, that, that seems really. And really, where does that. You can write that down, but if you don’t say it within yourself, I’m making the, the intention to personally grow.

I’m going to personally grow. It’s almost like a mantra. I’m going to personally grow. I’m going to personally grow. I’m going to personally grow. You can have that as your mantra. You, like, make a sign, put it up in your. I. Did anyone else have, like, they, they write stuff down, little mantras or whatever, little like motivation things and post it all over the place. I, I used to have these on my refrigerator or my, like on my, in my car. On my car dash. And I, I have these everywhere. And if there was something that I was.

I, I was wanting to manifest. I remember I had this. It was like, way out of my league. It was a convertible BMW. And I was like. And I, I even picked out the color red. And I was like, I don’t know how I’m going to afford this, but I’m going to do it. And so eventually, you know, I got some pay increases in the military, and within it seemed like a very short period of time, I, I got that. That exact BMW, a red BMW. So a convertible. So it’s crazy, but I was. I done some business on the side of working in the SEAL teams, and it worked out really good.

So I, I was able to afford that. That BMW. So it doesn’t matter what it is. That. That’s going to give you that. That manifestation of that business opportunity, that personal growth, whatever it is. What matters is that you are saying it within yourself, and then it’s going to come. And you. You will not. It will never come the way you guess. In fact, it’s better if you don’t try and guess, because that will inhibit you. That will inhibit you. So just, you know, put it up there. Let it manifest how it does. Put it out there.

Let it come. It’s going to come if you keep with a positive mental attitude. Because every. Every negative thought that you have, you have to. You have to, like, polish that up with five. With 10 positive, 10, positive, 10. That’s. That’s science. I don’t know why, but it’s science. It works that way. So any kind of personal development you’re doing, you can do all these great things, but if you come in with one negative, you say to yourself, one negative thing, you better have 10 positive ready to come in right behind it and, you know, build it back up, because that’s how powerful a negative thought is.

All right, let’s listen some more. Make a commitment to intentionally grow. Guess what? It’s really simple, but can I tell you something? When Kirk Campmeier looked across that breakfast table and told me that if I was going across, gonna have to grow on purpose, and I looked at him and I said, I’m gonna. I’m gonna start growing on purpose, something happened within me. Something happened within me that just changed my life. It was just a simple commitment. Nothing that I thought at that time was going to change my life, but it was just a simple commitment.

I’m going to grow. I’m going to grow intentionally. And it starts there. You. I want everyone for yourself, for the people that you lead. Make that commitment to intentionally go number two. Make that commitment public. A commitment that is not public is worthless. Because let me tell you something. We all have a tendency to stray. We all have a tendency to give up. We all have a tendency to get off course. Come on. But the moment that we start making it public, I can remember I couldn’t afford that kit that I showed you. And I said, can you give me 30 minutes? And I lived where we’re having our breakfast, was close to the house.

I said, I’ve got to show this. I got to take this and show it to Margaret. And I said, I ran home and I got the kitchen. I said, we can’t afford this. It’s 799, and we can’t afford it. And so I’ve got to take it right back. But I just want to show you what we’re going to save our money for. And we got it all out and got those cassettes out and we looked at the material real quickly and I put it back in the box and I went back there. But then I told my friends, I began telling my friends, guess what? I’ve made a commitment to personally grow.

There’s something beautiful about a shared commitment. A shared commitment becomes a strong commitment. Number three, identify the areas that you want to grow personally in. Identify them. In other words, sit down and say, okay, where am I going to grow? Specifically? Now, let me. I’m going to help you here. When you start identifying the areas that you’re going to grow in, it should be at least two and no more than five. Five’s probably a little heavy, but. But it has to be at least two. You say, oh, how about just focusing on one? Let me tell you why.

You want to grow in an area of choice and you want to grow in an area of skill. So that’s two. So when I talk about an area of choice, I’m talking about maybe your attitude. That’s a choice, isn’t it? So, so I want to grow in an area of choice. Maybe it’s discipline. And I want to grow in an area of skill. So for me, I started off with attitude and speaking because I was, I was speaking, I was a pastor. I want to, I want to be a better communicator. So I said, okay, speaking.

That’s a skill I’m going to work on, that I’m going to work on. I’m going to work on my attitude. So identify what’s what. What are the two areas, at least, that you’re going to grow in. And then number four, invest one hour a day in those two areas. Every day, including Sundays. Every day. Seven days. Seven. 24. Seven. Every day. Okay. And when you, when you, when you spend that hour, won’t even tell you how to spend the hour. You spend the hour this way. Here’s the way it works. Preparation, practice, reflection. Preparation, practice, reflection.

Preparation, practice, reflection. Preparation, practice, reflection. So why is he, you know, stressing that so much? Preparation, practice, and the reflection. What. Which one of those is more important? The actual doing? Anybody? Discipline. It’s all discipline. But which preparation, the practice, the doing, or the reflection? Which. There’s no wrong answer here. But what. Which would you guys choose to put most of your focus in as far as those three things? Or I would choose reflection. Yeah, I would say all three are the most important because without the Preparation, you won’t have as good a practice, and without the reflection on your practice, you won’t know where you want to improve.

So I think maybe the reflection would be the most important, but actually all three are the most important. I agree with that. Repetition deepens the impression. So if you’re trying to make, if you’re trying to do something new, something you’ve never done before, then you have to get uncomfortable with doing that. And the more you do it, the outcome will become different. Practice, Practice. Right. Very good. Right. So. So in the seal teams there, there was a group, they did a, they did a study where they took a bunch, they took some seals, and they had them visualize doing a certain skill as a shooting skill.

And then they had guys practice the shooting skill. So then it came to the performance, and the guys that visualized did better than the guys who practice. So visualizing your success and you know, the, the things that you do, a lot of, A lot of people that perform at a very high level visualize, and then it’s the reflection. So you do the practice. So I would video when I, when I did the hand and course, I videoed everyone while they’re fighting because in my mind it was crazy because in my mind I’m like doing the exercise or I’m doing the skill perfectly.

And then I would see myself, I would do the reflection on it later and I was like, that ain’t right. And then it would like fine tune me more. So, you know, visualizing, you know, the doing. And then of course, they’re all three very, very important. Obviously that’s why he’s stressing them so much. But just remember, visualizing success is massively important. And then once you’ve had success reflecting on it, don’t just go party like, great, you know, reflect on it. What did you do that was great and how could you improve? Right? So that was, that was one of the things that we, we would do a lot of.

That’s, that’s one of the things that’s carried over into all aspects of my life. You do it every day, whether it’s your choice or whether it’s your skill. You prepare a little bit, practice a little bit, reflect a little bit every day, you’re going to find this is just huge for your life. Now. While I was doing all that, that preparation, practice, reflection, while I was doing all that, on my speaking, I was starting to go observe communicators. And when I would listen to somebody speak, I wouldn’t listen too much about what the Subject was, it really didn’t matter.

I asked myself one question the whole time I would listen to him speak. And the question was, are they connecting with their audience? And I would write down, if they were not connecting, why they were not, and if they were connecting, why they were. In about two years, I became a master in understanding how to connect with an audience because I studied it. And I would listen and I would watch and I would observe and. And I would come away and say they did three things that were just powerful. Okay, I gotta go practice that. Okay, Prepare, practice, reflect.

And I would just work on that. And this is the cycle that I worked. Okay, Number five, invest one hour a week on reflection and writing on what you’re learning. To take an hour every week and say, okay, for the last seven days, this is what I’ve been practicing. This is what I’ve been. This is what I’ve been preparing for. This is what I’ve been reflecting. And start that now. Let me tell you the secret on this, Jim. You got something to add on that question? Yeah, I have a question. Mike, it’s good to see you.

It’s good to see everybody. I recently had a preferred customer join as a brand partner upgrade to a brand partner. And one of the things I learned is all the points that she had, which was about over 400, went away for her personal value. And I think it would be a great incentive if these people that we convince who try our products to. To move up from a customer to a brand partner, if they could keep their points, that would be a good thing. And I think that’d be a great incentive and I think that that should be discussed in the, in the business.

Yeah, that’s fantastic. Because now it’ll take her quite a while to become a fully qualified brand partner, and yet she should have over 500 points if the points were added together. And I know that’s not the policy, but that’s a thing that the policy should change. Can I answer that, Michael? Yeah, go ahead, Jen. Okay, that came up two years ago, Jim, with some people that were signing up and switching over. And Connie’s very aware and has been fighting for it. So what I’d like to do is tomorrow, Jim, is the day we learn the new compensation plan.

Please, please watch it. I’m going to watch it, Michael. All of us. And they may have taken care of that problem. I hope so. But I have not received the link for that and I’ve asked several people for it. Oh, well, it’s right here on our chat so I’d like to get the link. Yeah, get the. Go in the chat and we have the link, Jim. It’s here. It’s been put in twice. Okay, great, thanks. And, and so go there if you can’t call. If it’s in the chat, I’ll find. And I know you said it’s there, so it’s there.

Well, cool. Can you put it in again, please? Because if you got in late, you can’t see. See it. Okay. Oh, that’s true. Excuse me. That’s right. Jim couldn’t see it. And Jim, you got in late. We’re going to put it back again. Is that the link where you can go sign up for it? I don’t know that I did. I, I’ve been putting it in right now, Shelly has it. But I’m. I’ll tell you what, I’m copying it, I hope, and I’m going to put it back in message to everyone. Here we go. So not here it goes, Jim, and.

All right, just didn’t try. Now, if any of you have any trouble, you’ve got me, I’m available. Text me, call me. I will send you the one that you sign up for. But I, I think this is the one for tomorrow. So, you know, it should, but definitely sign up. Newsletter. It’s in your newsletter. It’s that straight. The newsletter. That link doesn’t work, Tre. So there was. I tried it. That’s why, that’s why I asked for it. There was an email from Lifewave Corporate that went out, I think it was this week, in the last maybe three or four days.

And there is a box on there to click to register. And if you register, it was taught on Connie’s call Wednesday night that if you register, you will get the replay. So if this is the link to the Zoom call tomorrow, they won’t get the replay. So maybe that needs to be. We need to get that information out to everybody somehow. I don’t know how you normally communicate with everybody, but. Okay, I, I’ve just pulled up their newsletter and registration. I got my email here. What I’m going to do is forward this. I mean, I can’t take the whole.

I guess I can. There’s a web page thing, so maybe I can just put that in the chat. The web page, if you have the email, just forward the email to a list of people you, you know who are members of. Right. Don’t you have a distribution list? Michael’s list? Yes. It’s got about 4, 500 people on it. We’ll send it out. I don’t have it. It’s. But I’m copying this now. This website and I’m putting it right now. I’m going to go in to our chat and got to get back to zoom. Here we go.

Okay. And I apologize that I didn’t have it earlier. I just had arrived at my niece’s. So here we go. There it is, everybody. There is the link that can get you to what you need to know. This is the whole newsletter, but in the newsletter is the link that’ll take you to the sign up. Okay. So if everybody can copy that. I know it’s hard. If not, text me and I will send it individually. Does that make sense? Is there a. Is there a website? That’s it. That’s what I just posted. Michael, just put it.

Share it on the screen. Do a share. Oh, okay. I can share. I forgot that I can share. Of course. There we go. Okay, Come on. There you go. So this is what I just sent the text for this entire newsletter and it has in it the sign up. I’m trying to get my. I don’t have my mouse with me. I’m. Yeah, when you scroll on down, I just clicked on what you sent Jen and it opens up beautiful, beautifully, and it’s got all the information in it. It’s talking about the comp plan, and there’s a button that says register here.

So if you’re not registered, I’d probably recommend to do that. Which one do I do? And then maybe I can just grab that one register here. Right there, Right there. So if I can. I mean, you’ve got it in the back thing, but I can hit this register here right now, and then I’ll copy and paste that too. How’s that? Okay, I’m gonna put that. Thank you, Michael. Just takes me a minute to. Okay, so I’m gonna stop share right now and I’m gonna go into the chat and you’re gonna have that. All right, there we go.

Back to this. This. There you go, Maxwell. Because I’m kind of now talking about writing. I’m talking about maybe journaling a little bit. Let me tell you something. Don’t. Don’t try to journal a lot. Start with jotting. Jot before you journal. See, I jot every day. I don’t journal every day, but I jot every day. Four or five words. Oh, my gosh. They’re just. They’re just metal kicks for me. Okay. And then at the end of the week, you may have like 12 jots down. You with me? And you go get those shots and you say, okay, now what does that mean to me? Just extracted it out of them.

So you got to predetermine. You got to predetermine the change that is needed. And I think you do that by finding out where the people are asking the question after a while. You got it. It begins. The picture begins to be clear. The letter A. Lay out your steps now. I’ve got to lay out my steps to bring people through successful chip. If I walk close to the people through this change, I’ll be their leader. If I walk far ahead of the people in this change, I’ll become a martyr. You don’t want to be a martyr.

The good news is if you die a martyr’s death, you’re always special in the hearts of people. Bad news is you’re dead. That’s just not a good thing. You’re with me. So. So you got to do what I call the leadership dance. This is the leadership dance. You can call me the Arthur Murray of leadership. Okay, here, here’s the leadership dance is the way this work. You gotta walk ahead of them so they can see where they gotta go. But you gotta be close to they don’t be walking far ahead of them. You with me? Yes.

Close enough so they can see. You got to walk beside them so they can participate with you in the journey, so that you can listen and you can interact and you can take this journey together. They’re in the seat beside you and you got to walk behind them so that you watch the people that you empower. And the leadership dance is doing all three of those things at the same time. You walk ahead as an example, you walk beside as a friend, you walk behind as a leader that empowers. And once you can do those three things and mix it up with the people, you’re laying out your steps very well.

The letter A is adjust your priorities. Very simple. Whatever you’re going through, change. There’s no such thing as a pre game plan that you actualize out completely. Let me tell you the difference between a manager and a leader. A manager is a person who took plan A and won’t get off of it because he doesn’t want it to change on him. He’s got the plan out. He’s got the strategy up. Don’t mess with it. This is the strategy. Stay right here. Let me tell you later. A leader starts plan A because he knows you have to have a plan, but he at any moment is ready to change to Plan B because he’s found out a better way.

If you think you get the answers on the front end, you’ve not led very much. Your answers come in the leadership itself, not in the front end. That’s why plan A never ends up plan A. It’s plan B or plan C. Why? Because you adjust and you hear and you listen and hey, by the way, you seize that opportunity. Remember, the great coaches are great because they make halftime adjustments. That pre game plan at halftime has to be revisited and you have to say, okay, what works, what doesn’t work? And the changes you make have to be critical changes, not cosmetic changes.

Remember this, cosmetic changes are easy to accept and implement. So people like cosmetic changes. They change the color, they change the number a little bit and they just love that kind of stuff. It always kind of bugs me a little bit because I sit there and say, ed, you know, where are you going with, where are you going? Outside? They like gray better than black. Okay, what, what else are we going to do? Okay, and so you want to make, you want to make critical, you don’t want to make cosmetic changes. And understand, understand this as you make these changes, there’s always an answer.

Don’t ever get into that scarcity mindset as a leader that if I go this path, there’s no answer down to this path, there’s always an answer and there’s usually more than one answer. That’s why leadership is such a great art. Leadership is such a great art because you begin to understand that as you lead them, as you journey, you give them the best leadership. And that’s why trust is essential in the people with you. That’s why trust is essential. So you can make these changes as you go to get them there. Okay, and the next one is notify your key personnel.

Sit down. When you’re going through changes and there are two kinds of key people you need to notify. You need to notify your influencers. These are the people that they better say yes because you’re not going to get it done without their yes. Their approval is essential. Are you with me? So you gotta, you gotta notify upfront the influencer and you gotta notify upfront the implementers. They’re the ones, hey, they’re the ones that are going to make the dream come true. So, so you got to get the permission of the influencers for the plan to fly, but then you got to get your implementers because they’re going to work the plan.

So you notify key personnel, then you a, you allow Time for acceptance. Now you, you sit down with your key people and you allow them to have time to accept where you’re going. Now this is where leadership art is at its highest form. Because your only gift, you’re only intuitive at intuition and timing are a result of a leadership gift or their result of giftedness. Whatever you’re gifted in, you understand timing and intuition. If you’re not gifted in it, you don’t have timing or intuition going for you at all. So you’re intuitive in your giftedness, your ability to do timeliness in your giftedness.

So this, this allowing time for acceptance, this is where you, this is where you begin to allow people to have the time that they need to move forward with you. And to do that, to do that, you have to first of all slow down. And, and I, when I say slow down, this is something I’ve always had a problem with. I’m dealing with one of my weaknesses now. I don’t slow down. Well, when I see it, I’m gone. And then I realize, oh, I gotta take people with me. So I come back to get you. But when I come back to get you, it’s like, are you ready? And if I come back to get you and you’re not ready, I got you.

And, and I, I, I’ll sometimes go again and I have to, I have to really work hard on this, on this slowing down process. Okay. Because next. All right, so this is going to be obviously very, very important with the, the new compensation plan. So you got to like, you know, understand the compensation plan. That’s why it’s coming out as much as it is. And then eventually it’s going to be in the back office and video and PDF format, so you’ll be able to review it and get more, you know, deeper insights. So then you have to get like you talked about his, your influencers, you were pro, you were probably a great influencer in your own right.

So you’ll get this and then you’ll start to influence others and you’ll start to build them and build them out. It’s going to be much easier from what I’m seeing, going to be much easier to build people out. You, you’ll, you know, you’ve done, you know, the foundational work here. You’re using a product, you understand the product, you have a good foundation with a product. So now with the, found with the new compensation plan coming out and this really starts to kick off with new products that are coming out like we talked about, the seller jives and the the exo.

So you’re going to be really gifted with some amazing product. And so you’ll, you’ve already built out your foundation, you have maybe some team. If not, then you probably have some people that you’ve been talking to, you’ve influencing them. And then they’ll see these new products come in and they’ll get, there’ll be more excitement. And regardless of whether they get, you know, involved or not, does it matter? Because you’re going to build this business. You’re already visualizing it, you’re already seeing it, you’re already practicing it and you’re motivated. And so you attract to you what you, what you’re visualizing.

So you keep the visualization, you keep the positive visualization and eventually it builds. So with a new compensation plan, it will help you build your business and build your business much faster. Because people, as you’re going to find out, are going to be gifted with, with money much earlier on than they are now. Up to 65% of people, buys 10 of people. And they’ll, they’ll be compensated within a shorter period of time. Whereas now it’s 25 weeks. Then it’s going to come up to like, you know, first few weeks compensation. So that’s going to be obviously very massive for all of us.

And you guys that are already, you know, building somewhat of a business and so forth. So it’s going to be pretty spectacular. Jen? Yes. I think Robin Mascari just jumped in a blank. Mascari, is that you? Robin’s iPhone? Yes, it is. And we have a question for you, Doc. Bishop Jim, where are you? He had his big question and I think you can answer it. So. Bishop Jim, are you there? If not, I’ll ask it. I just texted Connie, where are you? Bishop Jim, you can ask your question right here. Unmute. He might have stepped away, so go ahead and ask.

He might have stepped away. I got it. Okay. So what I texted Connie is did the, the. Did they correct the problem that when a PC leaves being a PC and jumps into being. Jim, I think you’ve. You’re unmuted. So do you want to talk? Yes, thank you. Sorry, it took me a while to find the right button here. Yep. Button dyslexic today. I should have been wearing x39 for, for much longer. I recently had a brand part preferred customer plus who had a rather substantial original order upgrade to become a brand partner because she understood the genius of being able to buy the maintenance packs.

And when I looked at her, her lifetime value it reset back to zero when she upgraded. And I think if, if she was allowed to keep her points, it would be even more of an incentive to get some of our preferred customers become brand partners. So I hope that policy changes. Can you hear me? Yep. Okay, great. Well, preferred customers don’t accumulate points like brand partners do. So it sounds like she made a big, a big purchase and the sponsor gets a nice commission from that. But when people go from PC or PC plus to brand partner, it will eventually be a seamless, you know, press a button, but it’s not there yet.

But that’s the direction they’re moving. But they didn’t lose anything. They didn’t lose any points because they don’t accumulate points. And maybe we can talk. Yeah, because if they did. Why don’t we talk? What? Yeah, why don’t we talk offline and I can look at the specific situation. But a PC does not accumulate points. They accumulate well. Oh, you mean their referral points? Is that what you’re meaning? No, no, they, that’s. She did a, she did a rather large purchase and had. Yeah. Like, oh, what do you call that? Business value or something like that? A 414.

And then when she became a brand partner buying a maintenance pack, it reverted to the 77 for the maintenance pack. Now, I understand there are different points, but if she was allowed to shoot those, if she was allowed to keep the point, the points from her original purchase, that would be a even bigger incentive to get some of the, some of the people to join as brand partners. There’s actually wonderful incentives in the enhanced plan for people that make purchases. But you’re talking apples and oranges here, so I would love to. Yeah, yeah. But there are different advantages of each and it’s right for different people.

But she didn’t really lose. I don’t think she lost anything, Jim, but I’d have to better understand. But she’s definitely, you know, you’re moving her in a good direction to get a great value with the maintenance kits, which is a lot of people don’t know that maybe sometime, I don’t know if you guys have ever done a training on maintenance kits, but it’s a wonderful vehicle for people to get a great value. Once you’ve upgraded all the different kits and then you’re, you know, where do you go next to get the best value? Maintenance kits is typically a great place to go.

So I guess I’m not fully understanding the 400 points that she lost. I don’t think she lost them because she doesn’t get anything from those points. Well, it would go into her personal volume and I think maybe that’s what you’re saying and she doesn’t have that. No, but okay. It would have been nice if you could have kept her personal volume. That would be even more of an incentive. That’s all I’m saying. I see. Okay, well, I hear you. Now, I didn’t fully understand, but that’s a unique situation that won’t happen very much and. Yeah, okay, well, there’s nothing we can do right now, but there’s just so everyone knows.

There’s so many enhancements for everyone. She’s going to have a. Someone said maintenance kids get, get to share more patches. I love it. That’s great. Yeah. But I will, I’ll be happy to visit with you more about her situation. But yeah, there’s so many wonderful enhancements that. And we’re just going to encourage people to take it step, step and look at where you are and where you want to get to the next level because there’s a lot of wonderful bells and whistles, but to stay focused on yourself to see where you are and where you’re going to go.

And we’ll be doing plenty of trainings. The company is supplying lots and lots of videos that’ll help everyone in bite sized pieces kind of learn these enhancements. But the key, like Michael talked about is getting people off to a fast start because there will be a reward for the sponsor and the person, which is great. And people can start earning money right away instead of having to wait for a while past the pib. So lots of yes. Oh, great, you’re ready. Yeah. There’s so much goodness happening here. And this was, you know, something that really is important for the company to do because they, they really filled in the gaps that were missing for people, is making money quickly, developing a stable organization that will last for the long term, rewarding the right behavior.

There’s, you know, you’ll now be able to choose a career path in the company and you’ll be able to get rewarded every time you rank advance. And there’s a lot more ranks so you’re going to get more advantages up the ranks. So it’s exciting. And we just arrived in Dallas, literally just got here into our hotel room and we’re off to a dinner in a few minutes. So to be with everyone and we look forward to everyone being on the call tomorrow. Thanks, Ron. Thanks, Ryan. Hey, Rocket, thanks for taking time for us. That’s the special.

Thank you. Enjoy Dallas, say hi to Gregory. I will say hi to Gregory from guys. Yeah, it’s wonderful. We just have such an amazing family. We, we just came from the Bahamas at a this meeting and we’re with David and spirit jumper and Kai and Lynette and. And just got our minds expanded. So it’s so fun to keep learning together with our wonderful lifeway family. Yeah. Awesome. Thank you. Okay. Denise, you have a question? Yeah, I had a quick question. I. Hopefully Robin stays with us for a second. I started looking over the, the new compensation plan and you know, so we have a little season where we’re going to be waiting for that to get implemented.

So in the meantime, if we have a couple of people that are interested in signing up, should we still go with our old plan? Like if I, if I need to sign up more people on my left because of the power leg and the profit leg, do we still follow that algorithm until we find out more? Because I couldn’t really see anything in there and I have to read through it again. There’s a lot, but there’s. It’s a lot. Yeah. Wanted to know if that changes as far as, you know, I just want to be strategic in the meantime and I couldn’t really see where it would be an advantage to keep trying to.

Trying to build that other side so that, you know, you can capitalize on the volume that. The universal volume. Yeah, well, the things are pretty much the same in a lot of ways. You want to continue business as usual and there is a quite a long transition period and in the process. But the one thing that will be different is, you know, having your total volume be more balanced because you’ll get paid on the. Instead of having the cycle bonus of 1/3, 2/3, it’s. I think it’s 9%. I’m not sure where that changes. Okay. And in the shorter like and Gregory saying I gotta go because we got a dinner to go to, not 6:30.

Yeah. So, yeah, so I’m gonna, I’m gonna go. But we will, we will participate much more and Gregory’s the master at this and so it’s all going to work out great for everybody. For. Yeah, I can’t say great for everybody. It will work. They will reward the behavior that account plan is designed to reward. And it’s going to be wonderful for the long term success of the company. And I do have to go, so love to all of you and O, we’re going to sign off here, guys. So thanks a lot for coming. Hope you guys got a lot out of it.

And we’ll see you guys next time. Thank you, Michael. Thank you. Good night, everyone. Thank you.
