Empowering Other People

The major key that unlocks the door to high levels of success in your business is to find people who are willing to listen to your story of products and opportunity, and who stand in need of a chance to show what they can learn and what they can do. When a story of opportunity falls upon the ears of one is searching for a new purpose, remarkable things begin to happen; it is for that reason that you, as a distributor of AdvoCare's products and a messenger of its opportunity, must search for dissatisfied people, and offer to them the chance to take back control of their life. Now, please understand that we are about sharing products with people, but in that process, we are in the business of interrupting the lives of people who are encumbered with a set of problems created by their past mistakes and errors in judgment. The products get people's attention, but the opportunity we offer gets them going and gets them emotionally involved. If all you do is "talk products," you'll get some customers, but if you talk life changing concepts that come from engaging in our business, you'll start the process of changing people and steering them onto a course that will lead them to a new and better destination. If there's one expression Charlie Ragus used more than any other, it was - "We are in the people business; we are not just in the business of selling nutritional products, we are in the business of finding other people to help us sell nutritional products. People are the lifeblood of what makes our business work." If you cannot or will not see the value and the wisdom of tapping into the time, the talent, the contacts and the dreams of other people, you are going to be on your own, and when you're on your own, you're headed down a path that will find you in business for yourself, and by yourself. Your business, even if you succeed, will own you, instead of you owning it. In essence, then, we are about finding and empowering other people who will come to know what we know, feel what we feel, and see what we see; you begin by looking for and finding one person who is eager to liberate himself or herself from their current circumstances, then both of you look for another, and another and another. Finally, in your search for those who will become, like you, a difference maker, be aware that you're destined to encounter those who opinions and concepts are just the opposite of what you're looking for. Do not, in your attempts to "sell them" on your message and what it offers, let them sell you on their view of the world; you must stand guard at the doorway to your mind - you must let rejection and suspicion build you, not diminish you. "Go ye forth and multiply," and in time, your business will explode beyond all of your expectations!
