Can You Guess Who I Am?

I am your constant companion. 

I am your greatest helper, or your heaviest burden.

I will push you onward, or drag you down to failure.

I am at your constant command.

Half the things you do, you turn over to me, for I do them correctly and quickly.

I am easily managed but you must be firm with me. Show me how you want something done exactly and after a few lessons, I will do it automatically.

I will accept any repeated act or attitude as a traning experience.

I am the servant of all great people, and alas, all failures as well.

Those who are great, I have made great. Those who are failures, I have made failures.

I am not a machine, but I work with the precision of a machine plus the intelligence of a human. You may run me for profit or you may run me for ruin. It makes no difference to me.

Take me, train me, be firm with me and I will place the world at your feet. Be easy with me....and I will destroy you.

Who Am I?

I AM HABIT

Lessons from Geese

1. As each bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird following. By flying in a "V"           formation the whole flock adds 71% greater flying range than if the bird flew alone. 

  • LESSON: People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier because they are traveling on the thrust of another.
2. Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to fly alone and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front.
  • LESSON: If we have as much sense as a goose, we will stay in formation with those who are headed where we want to go and be willing to accept their help as well as give ours to the others.
3. When the lead goose gets tired, it rotates back into the formation and another goose flies at the point position.
  • LESSON: It pays to take turns doing the hard tasks and sharing leadership. With people, as with geese, we are interdependent on each other.
4. The geese in formation honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.
  • LESSON: We need to make sure our honking from behind is encouraging - and not something else.
5. When a goose gets sick or wounded or shot down, two geese drop out of formation and follow it down to help and protect it. They stay with it until it is able to fly again or dies. Then they launch out on their own, with another formation or catch up with the flock.
  • LESSON: If we have as much sense as the geese, we too, will stand by each other in difficult times, as well as when we are strong.



The Story of Four People

This story is about four people:
There was an important job to be done and everybody was asked to do it. Everybody was sure that somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it was everybody's job.


Everybody thought that anybody could do it, and nobody realized that everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that everybody blamed somebody when actually nobody blamed anybody.

Does all this sound familiar to anybody?

The Magic Word is Attitude

  1. It is our attitude at the beginning of a task which, more than anything else, will affect its successful outcome.
  2. It is our attitude toward life which will determine life's attitude toward us.
  3. We are interdependent. It is impossible to succeed without others. And it is our attitude toward others which will determine their attitude toward us.
  4. Before a person can achieve the kind of life he/she wants, they must become that kind of individual;they must think, act, walk, and conduct themselves in all of their affairs, as would the person they wish to become.
  5. The higher you go in any organization of value, the better will be the attitudes you will find. There is a good reason for this.
  6. Your mind can only hold one thought at a time. Since there is nothing gained by holding negative thoughts, hold only successful and positive thoughts.
  7. The deepest craving of human beings is to be needed, to feel important, to be loved, to be appreciated. Give these to them and they will return them to you.
  8. Part of a good attitude is to look for the best in new ideas...and look for good ideas everywhere.
  9. Don't waste your time broadcasting personal problems. It probably won't help you, and it cannot help others.
  10. Don't talk about your health unless it is good...unless you are talking to a doctor.
  11. Radiate the attitude of well-being, of confidence, of a person who knows exactly where they are going. You'll find good things will start to happen right away.
  12. Lastly, for the next 30 days, treat everyone with whom you come in contact as the most important with whom you come in contact as the most important person on earth. If you will do this for thirty days, you will do it for the rest of your life.

Every year 100 college Grads are tracked from the age of 25 to 65 to see where they end up, here are the consistent results.



Out of 100 college graduate, 1% becomes wealthy. Wealthy to me is when you are walking in the parking lot to your brand new Lamborghini and you notice that you dropped a couple of hundred dollar bills...you turned around and walked away cuz you're lazy to pick it up. That's wealthy. Most of us, when we see a quarter rolling on the floor, we immediately dive to pick it up. 2% becomes financially independent. Financially independent means you could stop working today and maintain the same level of lifestyle without any help from friends, family, or the government. That's the 3% class. So what happened to the rest of the 97% class? 5% are still working. I have friends that graduated from major universities but are still working at Nordstrom or even Starbucks. 36% of them end up dead so we can't really help them out. 56% is what I like to call the walking dead...dead broke.

What's interesting about this statistic is that out of the 3% that are wealthy and financially independent, 74% own their own business. When I was working at a mortgage company, the owner of the company was making more than $3 million a year and I thought to myself "I'm gonna marry the boss's daughter". But then I realized that the boss doesn't have a daughter...he had a son. So I said, "forget about it." I don't swing that way.  I realize I have to be my own boss. That's when my friend Keawe introduced me to Your Travel Biz.  You have the opportunity to get a chance to own your own travel company and start saving money traveling and make money doing it.  3 things impressed me when I saw this company for the first time.  

  1. Integrity:  You want to make sure the company is in solid ground.  YTB is 10 years old and is publicly traded.  They are here to stay.
  2. Simplicity:  The Industry, company, and products sell itself.  Everybody likes to travel and everybody likes to make money.  It can't get any easier than that. 
  3. Residual Income:  This is hotter than Megan Fox. Residual Income is getting paid while you're sleeping.  When somebody purchase flight tickets, cruises, rent a car, hotels...etc...you get paid.
Find out how you can own your own Travel Company and start making money from home.

How many of you have big dreams? If you answered no...you have nightmares!


As a kid…I used to hang posters on my wall of a red Ferrari I wanted to own. I got pictures of Paris because I always wanted to visit the Eiffel Tower. I wanted to retire my parents. They've been working for so many years. And I wanted to travel the world. But as I was growing up…okay…I never grew up. As I was getting older and started working for jobs after jobs…I realize something. My income was sooo small (like me) that my DREAMS shrunk to match my INCOME

So I started taking the posters down, rolling them up and putting them under my bed. Then I started hanging up posters of Phillies Blunt, Corona Beer Ads, and Bob Marley smoking pot. I started justifying my situation and say things like, "Forget the Ferrari…If I could just get a Fiero…just as long as it takes me from point A to point B…I'll be fine. You say Fiero fast enough…it sounds like Ferrari." Or "Forget Paris. Have you been to Vegas? They have Paris over there." Or "My parent's been working for 25 years now…another 15 years won't hurt." Or "Forget traveling the world…Have you been to Disneyland. I could go ride on The Small World." I started justifying my situation because I started to believe that my dreams won't become a reality.

YTB has changed that. YTB will help you increase your INCOME to match your DREAMS.

Whatever business you are in whether you are in Network Marketing, a business owner, or doing internet marketing…you must have the B.E.A.R. philosophy.

B stands for Belief. It all starts from here. You got to believe in the industry you're in. You got to believe in the company. You got to believe in the products you're selling and the services the company is providing. And most importantly….you got to BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. When others are telling you that you can't do it…Believe you can do it. When others are laughing…Believe you can do it. When others are telling you No you can't…Say YES I CAN! You've been hearing NO your whole life. I'm telling you….YES…YES…YES. When you believe…you will get excited. E stands for excitement. You will be so excited at what you're doing that you'll be sleeping at night with your eyes open. You're excitement will turn into action. A stands for Action. You'll start doing more and selling more. People are going to come up to you and find out what you're doing. You'll be the Energizer Bunny…You'll keep going and going. When you take action…guess what? You will get results. R stands for Results. The best paycheck is an unexpected one. You'll become more and have more. When you get results…you'll believe more…then you'll get more excited and take more action. Then you'll get more results and it'll just cycle. But it all starts with BELIEF. It's not the R.B.E.A. philosophy. You don't get results first. It's the B.E.A.R. philosophy. So start believing!

This story is from The World's Leading Motivational Speaker...Les Brown


"A friend of mine was walking down the street in the city of New York.   As he was walking...a couple of people were soliciting him for their business.  One guy said, "Excuse me sir...can I shine your shoes?"  The man said, "Sorry, I'm busy...I'm in a rush...I don't have time."  And kept on walking.  Another guy said, "Excuse me sir...your shoes looks dusty...can I shine them?"  The man said, "No I'm busy...I'm in a rush...I don't have time."  And kept on walking.  As he was walking a young man approach him and counted "97...98...99...100" "Excuse me sir?  Today is my birthday and I thank God...a brand new year of life.  Every hundredth person that passes by my shoe shine stand, I offer that person a free shoe shine.  Would you give me that honor?"  The man said, "Why sure."  So he sat on the shoe shine stand and the young man shined his shoes diligently.  After he was finished.  The man got up and asked, "By the way...how much do you charge for a shoe shine?"  The young man said, "Only $5 sir."  The man said, getting money from his pocket, "It is your birthday...here's $10...keep the change."  As he walk away...the young man turned around and counted "97...98...99...100"

Network Marketing is being taught at more than 200 colleges, including Harvard Business School. After extensive research into the network marketing industry, Harvard Business School developed three criteria that a network marketing company must have in order to make it a most desirable opportunity. 

They are:

1.  The company must be at least 18 months old - 90% of all network marketing companies that fail, do so in the first 18 months.

2.  The company must have a product that is both unique and highly consumable. Being unique in this case means the company has an exclusive product that can only be purchased from the company’s distributors. Having a product that is highly consumable means repeated sales, thereby guaranteeing customer loyalty versus a one-time sale and having to source new customers.

3.  It needs to be a ‘ground floor’ opportunity. Harvard Business School suggests that in order for the opportunity to qualify as ‘ground floor’, the number of existing distributorships should be less than of 1% of the population in the c ountry where the network company is operating. In the United States, this figure is equal to 1.5 million people. Harvard Business School also states that if there are less than 500,000 distributors, this presents a cutting opportunity. If the company has less than 100,000 distributors, Harvard Business School considers it to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Harvard Business School states there are four distinct stages of growth in a network marketing company. 

They are:

1. Foundation - This usually lasts approximately six months and is when a company develops its products and markets.

2. Concentration - This period lasts approximately 2 to 4 years from when the distributor network is started.

3. Momentum - This period lasts from 2 to 4 years also. This is when the company experiences phenomenal growth and distributorships’ businesses explode. It is during this period that the company virtually sweeps the nation. When a company’s sales reach $50 million, it reaches what is called ‘critical mass’ (sales go vertically right off the graph). Also, approximately 2/3 of the company’s growth of new distributors occurs during this period of time.

For example, when Herbalife reached $50 million, sales jumped to $151 million in only 12=2 0months and they added over 800,000 new distributors to their organization. Say an organization is producing a bonus cheque of $1000 per month. When the company reaches critical mass, distributors automatically experience a ten-fold increase in their earnings. In other words, $1000 per month becomes $10,000 per month. This is the reason for getting involved on the ground floor, so you will experience the benefits of explosive growth.

4. Stability - This period lasts for the life of the company. A network marketing company that is dedicated to the success of its distributors will experience longevity, thereby insuring that an active distributorship will realize continued earnings and growth.
