[Music]
now this is a good list that I've put
together inspired by a couple of others
and my own contribution and I'd like to
share this list with you first learning
the power of purpose a person who has
purpose in their life they have
something to go for some meaning one
writer described it for some people it
becomes a magnificent obsession and for
you and I maybe it doesn't need to be
that dramatic as a magnificent obsession
but it has to be something that does
something to us something that pulls us
especially into the future you know
there are many influences on us one is
the influence of the past some people
are always pulled back back back
by the past some people are always
pulled aside by the distractions of the
distractions but here's what's powerful
if you have a list of high purpose in
your life it pulls you toward the future
and the more powerful the purpose is the
stronger it pulls and here's the other
great advantage if you have purpose for
the future it pulls you through all
kinds of challenges and all kinds of
difficulty if you don't have these
strong purposes for the future it's easy
to get swallowed by a bad day it's easy
to be almost annihilated by a poor month
and it's easy sometimes to almost
disappear beneath the waves of a year
that goes backwards if you don't have
something to pull you beyond that year
so if you want something to pull you
through all kinds of challenges all
kinds of difficulty and things that come
at you you've got to have something on
out there beyond today beyond next week
beyond next month beyond this year
that pulls you into the future and the
clearer it is the stronger it pulls the
board more dynamic it is the more it
affects your life your spirit your heart
your soul it also creates imagination
you get your mind working on how to
achieve that purpose
and if your mind will work and if your
heart works and if your spirit works and
if you have good input like good ideas
I'm telling you there isn't anything you
can't accomplish so that's one of the
great powers that'll make a variable of
you and that is purpose here's the next
one
self-confidence where does self
confidence come from and this is the
best advice I can give you on that not
neglecting first of all the small daily
discipline self confidence really comes
from feeling good about yourself and one
of the best ways to feel good about
yourself is at the end of the day to
know that you poured it on you did your
best
if you conducted a meeting you did the
best you could if you made a phone call
it was the best phone call you could
possibly make if you wrote a letter it
wasn't a casual letter it was your best
letter at the end of those kind of days
when you feel good about yourself self
confidence starts to rise you know that
if you can have this kind of a good day
you can have another one the next day
and those days become the weeks the
week's become the months and the month
becomes a powerful year self confidence
comes from the lack of neglect if you
will not neglect to do the small daily
disciplines that's where self confidence
comes from part of good health is self
confidence I know I'm going to be
healthy I take the Herbalife products I
eat the apple a day I walk around the
block
I do the jogging on the beach at the end
of the day when you've really poured it
on and you've done all the stuff self
confidence grows that self confidence
affects your health it affects your
future the affects your psyche so this
is true one of the great powers is self
confidence self confidence means
willingness to do whatever it takes to
achieve some people say we'll all do it
for a little while and see what happens
you know I'll try a couple of things if
that doesn't work I'm out of here and
all of us know that that kind of person
doesn't have much of a future but if
you're willing to do whatever it takes
if I have to learn a couple of things I
will learn those things if I got to
learn five or six things I'll learn all
six
if I have to take an extra class I'll
take an extra class if I've got to read
the books I'll read the books if I have
to consult with people who know more
than I know I will do the necessary
consulting whatever it takes I will do
that starts to develop unbelievable self
confidence self confidence also comes
from the ability to rise above your
circumstances to rise above what happens
the petty little things the discouraging
things that would sink everyone else's
ship except yours it would cause someone
else to quit early in the day but you
keep going that kind of willingness to
overcome all circumstances whether it's
the little challenges or the big
challenges if you're willing to do that
I promise you this kind of power will
work for you and you'd use a variable
it'll make a difference the third on the
list I had was enthusiasm and here's
what I wrote about enthusiasm enthusiasm
that's powerful is mostly enthusiasm
that is enthusiasm inside 90% 10%
outside we all know what the enthusiasm
is like when somebody lets us see their
enthusiasm which is the like the 90% and
only 10% of it is inside but the
enthusiasm that really affects people is
not just being loud but the enthusiasm
that runs deep the enthusiasm that comes
from deep inside created by
self-confidence created by purpose
created by genuine willingness to help
other people that kind of enthusiasm
knowing that you're going to get the job
done knowing you're going to affect
people knowing you're going to have
testimonials flowing in from all kinds
of directions that kind of enthusiasm a
lot of it is quiet a lot of it is
unheard and the 10% deterred it rings a
bell people call it genuine enthusiasm
because they know that what you say in
the outward display of your enthusiasm
is only a small tip of the iceberg of
the enthusiasm you feel inside that
really motivates you
to do the best job you can next on my
list to help you become the powerful
variable is expertise wanting to excel
in all of the skills and settling for
nothing less than an outstanding
performance if you're willing to be the
best in your field if you're willing to
demand of yourself excellence in skills
to be the best that you can possibly be
in the training do the best you possibly
can in doing a workshop do the best you
possibly can developing the skills of
using your personality developing the
skills of language developing the skills
of influence developing the skills of
organizing if you're willing to be an
expert in all of the skills Herbalife
has a way for you to invest those skills
and not only make a handsome living not
only make a lot of money but if you
would so desire and if it would be your
purpose a chance to make your fortune
expertise excellence in skills here was
the next one on my list making a
powerful contribution to you the
variable and that is preparation
well-prepared and preparation of course
involves a whole lot of things a big
share of our life is preparing getting
ready when we go to the first grade in
school we're just preparing for the
second grade after we've finished two
grades the two grades prepare us for
number three sometimes it seems like a
long excruciating time and the time will
just seem like it'll never come when we
can finally have the performance that we
really want but it takes time to prepare
takes time to get ready
and the decisions you make in the
preparation time those are the decisions
that last for a lifetime
preparing to have a good day it's that
preparing maybe the night before maybe a
couple of days before the day that
you're going to put everything together
the preparation for a meeting means that
you've taken it serious the preparation
for doing a workshop means you're
serious about the workshop you want to
make the best contribution that kind of
preparation is important but here's
preparation that's very vital and that
is to prepare yourself for success life
seemingly does not wish to waste
success on the unprepared life says why
waste a fortune on this person they're
not prepared to do the right things with
it they're not prepared to use it wisely
if a fortune was bestowed upon this
unprepared person it would probably be
wasted the people that could have been
touched won't be touched what could have
been done won't be done because this
fortune will have been wasted on the
unprepared person so not only look for
fortune not only look for the promise
but prepare yourself and ask of yourself
what can I do to make myself ready
because remember life was designed not
to give us what we want not to give us
what we need but life was designed to
give us what we deserve every value in
life must be paid for and those that pay
are the ones that get it it says those
that give received someone says I wish
to receive I wish to receive you don't
have to concentrate on receive just
become a good giver it says those that
search you will find someone says I need
to find some good ideas to help change
my life for the future then to find good
ideas that doesn't come because you need
them because it comes because you search
for it if you want good ideas you got to
go after him you got to go to the class
you got to go to the workshop you got to
go to the training go to the book right
you've got to go to the journal right go
where good ideas are being taught go
searching go looking because good ideas
are not going to be wasted
on those that are not seeking searching
well-prepared so prepare yourself to be
ready for fortune when it comes to be
ready for challenge when it comes to be
ready for opportunity when it comes
opportunity comes along and passes by
the person that is not well-prepared
I want to prepare myself this year for
next year yes I wish to be effective
this year but I'm also thinking of ways
how could I be better
how could my ideas be more powerful how
could they be sharper more clear how
could I reach some people next year that
I perhaps can't reach this year I
haven't reached deep enough into my own
soul to affect some people some people
just pass by and say hey what a good
speech but how could I make it stronger
than that deeper than that more powerful
than that I cannot be as powerful as I
could be next year you know you can't go
to the to the 10th grade in the fifth
grade you just got to go through the
grades but the more you are prepared
when the 10th grade finally comes now
you can cash in and get 2 times 3 times
5 times more value from it by being
prepared I want to do my best this year
for Herbalife but I also want to get
ready for next year 1999 and then when
the year 2000 comes at the turn of the
century I want to be well equipped by
language by instinct by temperament by
personality by influence to really be
valuable the year 2000 2000 1 2 3 4 5
that's my goal I'm sure it's your goal
now here's the next one
there's great power in self-reliance
self-reliance means you simply look
mostly to yourself it would be nice if
someone just gave you this gave you this
gave you this it would be nice if
everyone did their job exactly as
they're supposed to do it but here's
what you've got to do primarily rely on
yourself primarily say I'm the person
responsible
and I will learn the necessary skills so
that I can help people learn their
skills if I need lots of people to do
certain things to build my organization
that is what I must have but I've got to
be the final backstop I've got to be the
final one that people can rely on so
that if this is missed and this is
missed I can catch up I can fill the gap
I can do the job we have to do it when
we conduct meetings we have to do it
when we conduct training we have to do
it when we're in a class of just a few
what someone might have missed we're
there to fill in self-reliance primarily
we're learning to count on yourself so
that you can do this never complain and
never explain here's the next keep our
Nets image there's many parts to image
the image that others see you as the
image you have with other people and
it's very important how other people see
you if they don't see you as a leader
chances are they won't pay attention if
they don't see you as being in control
chances are they won't have the trust if
they don't see you as knowing where
you're going what you want to accomplish
they probably won't follow but if people
can see you if you have the image of
someone that's in charge in control in
control of your life your future your
destiny in control of the situation if
they see that that kind of image is
powerful it helps to win the day it
attracts other people people want to be
around people that are in control that
are powerful but they know how to use
their power influential but they know
how to use their influence that kind of
image is important but here's a very
important image and that is your image
of your cell
the way you dress the way you talk the
way you think your capacity for learning
all of that is an important image that
you have of yourself the image that you
have that if it needs to be learned you
could learn it if there's a book that
needs to be mastered you could master it
if there's a skill that needs to be
learned why couldn't you get busy now
and learn that skill that kind of self
image that I am continually trying my
best to be the best I can because one of
the most important places you have to
look is into the future yes you got to
look into the past yes you've got to
look around yes but one of the most
important places you have to look is in
the mirror you know how I appear to
other people that's important but how I
appear to myself is the ultimate
importance that kind of image to where
you'll develop the self confidence
you'll develop the self reliance
now here's another way in my rather
short list the next word is character
becoming a person of high values a
person of principles a person of honesty
a person that earns respect that kind of
character
it took character when Mark started to
put the marketing system together how
can we have a system that will build in
the integrity that people will know that
if this happens then this will happen
and if this goes wrong here's the way to
fix it unless you have the principles
and the character and the integrity to
put together a viable plan for a wide
variety of people then the system is not
going to last very long and I've been
around long enough and I'm sure you have
been around long enough to see a lot of
systems that got started but they failed
and the reason is because they were not
constructed with integrity they were not
constructed with character they were not
constructed with doing the right thing
they might have been constructed to take
advantage
you know cash it out as quickly as
possible and leave mark was involved
when others took advantage of him all
those years ago before Herbalife when
someone took advantage and didn't have
the character didn't have the principles
and didn't have the the character to
stay the character to see it through the
character to do the right thing so this
is important to develop the character
within yourself that people see you as
honest as fair willing to do the right
thing willing to be helpful but always
willing to walk the center line not to
pass the line when we come to an
opportunity like Herbalife especially a
multi-level network marketing it is so
dynamic it is so powerful and it is so
possible in fortune making that
sometimes people want to speed up the
process by cutting the corners by
neglecting to do the right things you
know to cheat a little here cheat a
little here you know cross the line just
a little bit because then you know it'll
grow faster and you can cash in quicker
not necessary here doing Herbalife right
will build your fortune longer and
stronger than trying to cut the corners
and not doing it right if you'll have if
will have the integrity that Mark had
when he started it and keep perpetuating
that that we will do the right thing by
the marketing system the right thing by
a distributor who has a customer and
they take care of that customer that
customer belongs to that distributor
that kind of integrity in the marketing
system the kind of integrity we have
among each other the kind of character
we have to rely on each other because
here's week what we cannot do we cannot
do this by ourselves Mark's got to count
on me I've got to count on mark we've
got to count on the president's team the
president's team has to count on the
Chairman's club for advice and counsel
we have to count on the millionaire team
the tabulator team the world team we've
got to count on the distributor
we've got the count on the distributor
giving the right message to the
potential customer we've got to count on
the distributor giving wise counsel to
the new recruit teaching them the right
way the Herbalife way
the principled way the character way
vitally important building and
developing your own character now here's
another one it's called self discipline
self discipline all of us have a
challenge with that because sometimes
it's easy and especially if you're
working hard doing the best you can it's
easy sometimes to let up and let it go
but remember so many people especially
now that were as big as we are around
the world are counting on what we do at
home office they have to be careful they
have to be disciplined it's easy for the
person who ships the product from
Herbalife says oh well I'll wait until
tomorrow to ship it and then they go
home and sleep like a baby but the
distributor who's waiting for that
product doesn't sleep that night or
doesn't sleep when the product doesn't
show on time but if everybody will have
the discipline to say I will do the best
job I can I will make mistakes of course
because we're all human but I'll try to
remedy those mistakes and do the best
job I can
that kind of self-discipline that
understands how important your part is
in all of the functions that work coming
to work on the set here hbn there's so
many people that play a part and each
one of the parts that are played is
necessary to put on the broadcast make
it viable make it real make it powerful
any couple of them missing and it would
be a disaster but all of it put together
and it works like a charm each person
developing the self-discipline to do
their part do their job
here's one more and that is the power of
extraordinary performance and demanding
of yourself excellent results this is so
important if you want to live
extraordinary you must do extraordinary
if you want an extraordinary income you
must do extraordinary things if you want
an extraordinary fortune you must go
with the demand of what it takes to have
that fortune mark has made such an
fortune it's almost beyond comprehension
what the numbers really are but guess
what he has the satisfaction of knowing
he earned it all if he'd have been
lacked in the performance Herbalife
would not be here these 18 years later
Herbalife would have been a footnote in
multi-level history but because he
performed year after year the third year
in the fifth year and the seventh year
and the tenth year and the twelfth year
and the fifteenth year and now
performing well in the eighteenth year
I'm killing it that's what makes it such
a viable fortune for mark personally of
course because he did the job if we
would ask of ourselves that kind of
performance and you've got to ask it of
yourself you know I can't ask it of you
I would try to inspire you I would try
my best to share with you what it might
taste like what it's like to finally
make your fortune it happened for me but
here's what you must do you must demand
it of yourself Society does not demand
that you not have a heart attack
but if you want to escape having a heart
attack you must demand it of yourself
society doesn't demand that you take
herbal life and improve your health you
have to demand it of yourself society
doesn't demand that you jog around the
block every morning but if you want good
health you must demand it of yourself
society doesn't demand but you read a
couple of books a week and improve your
intelligence and your knowledge that you
must demand of yourself society does not
demand that you build a financial wall
around your family nothing can get
through that's not a demand of society
but you must demand it if you wish it
you must demand it of yourself society
doesn't demand that you learn a list of
10 skills in order to ensure your own
future in the future of your family
society doesn't demand it doesn't
require it it is not a law but if you
want the benefit you must demand it of
yourself
