DO IT – PRACTICE ACAA

By Chris Prefontaine

Are you afraid that what you attempt might not work? You could very well be right — it may not work.

Go ahead and do it anyway. Go ahead and find out for yourself.

Either it will work and you’ll be successful, or it won’t work and you’ll learn something valuable. Even an unsuccessful attempt is much better than no attempt at all.

Success is not a matter of getting it right every single time. Success comes from continuing to persist until you do get it right. Remember the ACAA that I teach in my Fast Start because with that you cannot fail.

If  ACAA is new to some of you, here’s what it stands for:

• Action – Take action today, don’t procrastinate.  Even if it’s 1 or 2 new exposures…do it now.
• Critique – Stop every few days and get with your upline leader to critique your results so you can constantly improve.
• Adjust – Based on the critique, make necessary adjustments.  It may be a change in your wording, a slight change in the email content you send out, etc.
• Action- After the critique, go back to your exposures of the business and Mila

Instead of paralyzing yourself with worry, educate yourself with action. Just one successful attempt can make up for dozens of unsuccessful outcomes.

Get up, get going and give it your best shot. You’ll find a way to make it work and with Lifemax you have mentors and coaches that you can reach out to daily.

Network Marketing Apples

By Chris Prefontaine

People ask me all the time when they’re trying to grow their own network marketing business if they should speak to others who have been in Network Marketing before or are currently in the industry. They sometimes perceive this to be the strongest category of prospects. The answer to this is both yes and no.  You need to treat these prospects as you would ANY prospect and listen carefully.

See, when dealing with people that have been in network marketing or are currently in network marketing, you can relate them to three different types of apples. This comparison may also alleviate any frustration you’ve had thinking that these were supposed to be your best candidates.

Green Apples – These are people that just joined another Network Marketing company and they’re excited. Whether they did the proper due diligence or not, whether they picked the right company or not, and whether the company’s product is any good, all have nothing to do with it.  All that matters is that they are excited and you cannot pluck them from the tree yet, a green apple.  Just keep them in your 4-6 month follow up and see how they’re doing and then go create a 90 day sprint for yourself so your story amazes them in 4-6 months.

Rotten Apples – These are individuals that, for whatever reason, had a bad experience in the industry.  They’re kicked, bruised, soft and sitting on the ground and you don’t want to necessarily pick them up. They may have gotten involved with the wrong leadership, wrong company, wrong product line, wrong timing or any one of the other elements that are critical to the success of a Network Marketing Company.  Now, I would do the same thing here and drip on them with updates every 6 months or so.  I was a rotten apple after seven months of the wrong everything in 1994, but I kept an open mind.

Ripe Apples – Bingo!  These are your best candidates.  These are people in the industry and advocates of the business but they don’t have the experience they desire and/or people that were in the industry. They’re still advocates but haven’t found a home yet.  In 2001 I moved from a rotten apple to a ripe apple because I had a great experience.  Between 2005 and 2008, I was a ripe apple.  I wasn’t looking but still appreciated the industry.  In 2008, I moved from a ripe apple to a green apple because right now you couldn’t pluck me from the tree.

I hope this answers the questions about people in the business and whether or not you should go out and talk to all the people currently in network marketing.

Welcome this Recession While You Can

By Chris Prefontaine

Because millions of people have been brainwashed into making subconscious choices regarding restrictions with this economy–whether the restrictions are perceived or real–I want to help everyone adjust their mindset.

In a lot of my webinars, when we get to the economy slide, I mention how sad it is that many people (including myself prior to Lifemax) are letting the economy dictate their future.  Many are letting the economy steal their dreams, aspirations and goals.

What we are really talking about here is the choice of remaining a victim, or choosing to be a victor-it’s not possible for our minds to focus on both. Please realize that I was not immune to this thinking – I was in the same trap until I found Lifemax and I share that with you so you know I don’t raise these issues to condescend or act superior, but to share the insights I’ve learned thus far on the journey with Lifemax. We truly have our hands on a gift.

What I know is this:  There has never been a more exciting time to be alive in human history.  And never been so many ways to become prosperous.  We are absolutely surrounded by opportunity at this second.  And in difficult economic times like now, the opportunities for creating prosperity become much more numerous.

As Charles Fillmore taught, there is no place that prosperity is not.  It is in the ethers all around us.  But to manifest it on the physical plane, we must use the power of ideas.

Wherever there are challenges, there are corresponding opportunities.  Without my challenges, I may not have looked up to see what Lifemax was all about and what a mistake that would have been.  But as I said above, your mind can only process one viewpoint.  If you want to hang on to being a victim, you can’t become a victor.  We all face challenges, have setbacks and experience difficulties.  We all fall from time to time.  But like Jim Rohn says, “If you fall down, do a few push ups while you’re down there!”

The great news is you DO get to choose:  You can be the slum dog – or the millionaire!

Let’s help hundreds of thousands starting with just three people today that you can share Mila and this opportunity with.  Then simply invite those that you share with to review one of our live webinars this week and let me help you sponsor your very best candidates.

Testimonial from Dr. Jamey Hanley

Like other health professionals, I am frequently approached to represent or endorse various kinds of vitamins and other nutritional supplements or treatments, to which I usually say “no.” When Lifemax came around I was not looking for anything else to do. I was already very busy and not looking to add anything else to my already full plate. However, one thing I have learned over the past 20 years or so is that great opportunities are rare and maybe only come around once every decade. Therefore, I never close my mind to an opportunity but instead I always take a cursory look so I can at least feel good about saying “no.” The leadership at Lifemax combined with the company’s amazing healthy whole raw food, Mila, made it hard for me to say “no.” Consequently, “yes” was the only correct answer.

From a health and wellness perspective, Mila is simply amazing. This healthy whole raw food is quite literally helping so many people that it is becoming a movement in and of itself. As a dentist, I have seen patients exhibiting the signs and symptoms of conditions in their earliest stages. In many cases, significant improvement can be achieved by modifying the diet with Mila. The reason for this is because my extensive training and experience allows me to recognize the oral changes that are often the first sign of systemic illness. As an example, patients with undiagnosed diabetes will often have telltale signs such as “acetone breath.” Vitamin B deficiencies may cause halitosis, burning tongue, cracked lips and sores in the corner of the mouth. I believe that the nutrients in Mila are ideal for everyone and especially those with maladies and conditions such as these. This puts dentists in a unique position, among health care providers, to have a profound impact on our patients early simply by urging them to include Mila in their diet. On a personal level, my father died of complications from diabetes, so I know first hand the impact this disease can have and the importance of diet. It is because of my family history as well as my professional dedication and desire to help others that I recommend Mila all day every day with no reservations.

It’s All About Timing!

In network marketing, as in life, timing is everything.

Bill Gadol and Steve Turner are old friends. In fact, they’ve attended the same church in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina for years.

Bill and his wife Karen Lemacks-Gadol have been “all in” with Lifemax since Day One. Bill thought that, as a financial planner and entrepreneur, Steve would also be a perfect fit for Lifemax. With that in mind, Bill approached Steve about the opportunity and gave him the time to do the research for himself. Over the next four months, Bill continued to touch base with Steve about joining, but for some reason, he just wasn’t ready to take the next step.

All that changed one day in late July when Steve stopped Bill after church and said that he was finally ready to start his own Lifemax business.

“Call me in a week,” he said.

Bill obliged and called him back exactly a week later, and he was surprised at what he heard. Steve answered the phone, but his voice was obviously weak.

“I need you to bring me some Mila immediately,” he said.

“Of course I will,” said Bill. “Tell me where to bring it.”

Throughout the conversation, Steve related that he had been in the hospital for almost a week and was scheduled for surgery to remove his gallbladder. He had also been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Stunned by his news, Bill immediately headed to the hospital with a bag of Mila. While there he was further shocked to hear that his friend’s glucose levels were at 430, a dangerously high number that could have induced a diabetic coma.

Steve started to take the Mila immediately and is pleased to say that his recovery has been amazing and his dedication to Mila is solid. Additionally, his glucose levels have now stabilized and are consistently in the much safer 100 range.

He is now “all in” and looks forward to attending the Lifemax Annual Conference in Orlando this November.
