What’s amazing is that you can take a normal person that’s living an everyday average life and they have no idea what their absolutely capable of doing; and you plug them into a program, help them shift their mindset and all of the sudden you have someone that was just struggling just to make ends meet to someone who has the potential of making a six figure income - it's absolutely mind blowing.
I have experienced this first hand and have the tools and the environment for people to lead a more satisfying life through emotional and financial wealth.
A program that helps people overcome any limiting beliefs that might be holding them back in life.
Simply by changing mindsets and habits....a personal development program that has helped people accomplish more than they thought possible, do more then they ever imagined and become more than they dreamed.
The tools to improve your life and exceed your goals.
This program employs a very simple philosophy:
You Have The POWER To Make Any Change In YOUR LIFE That You Want To Make.
Based on the premise constructed in a thorough system that works from the inside out. As you alter habits and small details in your daily routine, your life begins to change for the better.
The program takes you on an inner journey that will result in extraordinary outer growth. As you experience this program you will approach each day positively and proactively. Weight loss, improved financial results, more effective communication or better relationships - whatever you want for your life. The program shows you how to achieve the results you desire
The most interesting thing that a person will ever look at, in their entire life, is “themself”.
People have no idea how much potential is inside them, until they find themselves in the right environment, with the right community and involved with the right vehicle.
STOP LETTING YOU DAY TO DAY LIFE HOL YOU BACK
AND TAKE ACTION!!!

Wake UP to Succes - Why does Joe succeed and Tom doesn't?
Joe and Tom start a business on the same day.
They have the same training, the same presentation, the same system and the same support.
And yet Joe achieves the position of success very quickly and is able to make money; while Tom is spinning his wheels.
What's the difference? Why is "Tom" not making money?
Firstly of all, this article is not directed to anyone in particular. Unless you think it is. I take the position, that every person reading this has WITHIN THEMSELVES exactly what it takes to be successful. I see everyone as successful right now.
So, this article is to provide some insight on why someone you know in a business -- we'll call him "Tom" -- who might not be getting his desired results. Maybe Tom is someone you know. Maybe Tom is someone whom you'd like to help.
The following are some things that come to mind that I believe keep people "stuck".
1. LACK OF CONFIDENCE.
Do this: picture a person standing with his shoulders slumped. He's looking at his feet. He's kicking the dirt with his toe. He's got his hands in his pocket. Now, this person might be the nicest person in the world, but everything about his posture says "Leave me alone", even if he's starving to talk to someone. Now, you can even picture what that person sounds like on the phone as well. Tom has no confidence.
Confidence is vital. It breeds success. And the recipe for confidence is simple:
- feel good about yourself,
- feel good about what you're doing and
- have a very clear vision of what your life is going to look like in the next few weeks because of what you're doing.
If "Tom" will get very clear on his goals, he'll be more confident and he will present himself as someone that people will want to spend more time with.
2. SELLING INSTEAD OF SORTING.
I see this from time to time. "Tom" is so desperate for a sale that he feels the need to use language that is meant to "entice" a person. And it doesn't work. It only makes Tom look more desperate.
What are some examples? Tom doesn't use his support system. He wants to answer all the questions. And then he announces that he made a great connection and has a possible sale, that doesn't. Or Tom might follow the system, but in the end, starts to over talk and comes across as trying to convince a prospect with his opinion. Or worse, he'll call back the prospect after a presentation to check thier interest level and try to convince a 3 to be a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. He'll spend time "overcoming objections" and trying to get the prospect to be more interested than he is. The best thing Tom can do is to shut up and just stick to the system. Because this is not a business of "selling" people. It's a business of sorting. And the sooner Tom figures this out, the more money he'll start making.Sir Isaac Newton had it right: every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The more time Tom spends chasing prospects, the more they will run away from him.
3. GETTING READY.
This is a big reason why people like "Tom" choose to stay stuck. He's constantly getting ready to work his business.You've seen this guy. This is the guy who has been in the business for a week and has still not put a single person on the presentation calls. Not one. He's still going through his starter kit. He's rehearsing his voicemail script for the 25th time. He's calling to ask which 800Link package he needs to get.The solution for "Tom" is simply to tell him this: "Tom, if you're serious about this business, here's what you have to do: go find 6 people to put on the calls in the next 24 hours. Call me after they get off the line and we'll get their questions answered."That's it.That's the business.Not spending another week "getting ready". "Getting Ready" is a common trap for people like Tom. Make sure that you teach him to avoid it.
4. NO ACTIVITY.
This is the simplest but it seems some people fall for it. Tom is attending all the training calls. He's attending the team calls. He's "around" the business all day. But he's not calling leads. He's not putting people on presentation calls. He's not doing followups or three-ways.In short, he's not doing anything that makes money. He's "around" the business but not "in" the business.And simply put, the only solution is for Tom to get off his ass and go to work. Nothing happens until Tom moves. Tom...it's time to get going! Money is waiting on you but it's not going to come over and jump in your pocket! Go get it!
5. NEGATIVITY.
This is one that no one thinks they have. And yet every "Tom" I've met seems to have at least a mild case of it. They deny it but it's there.Here's the deal: "negativity" does not mean "unfriendly". Or "rude". Or "abrasive".I'm thinking of a "Tom" right now. He is one of the most negative people I know but he's very friendly. Very cheerful. Very happy-go-lucky. If you met him, you'd think he's a fun guy to be around.But, "Tom" is a negative person because -- underneath all that happiness -- he doesn't really expect good things to happen for him. He doesn't really think he's going to make money today. He doesn't really think that his leads are going to be any better than yesterday's. He is actually expecting things to NOT go his way.And he's always right. Because the law of attraction says we don't get what we want....we get what we vibrate. And "Tom" is vibrating a negative expectation of his goals. So, that's what he gets: no goals.This is an insidious one. Because, in good people, negativity often hides underneath a veneer of positive attitude. But it's still there, lurking underneath, sabotaging all the right things you're doing.How would Tom know if this is what's keeping him stuck? Simple. Ask Tom to make the following statement: "I am going to earn $_____ this week" and then ask him honestly if he feels like he's telling the truth or not. If the answer is anything but a 'yes' or takes longer than 2 seconds to answer....then he really doesn't believe what he's saying.And that brings me to the biggie....
6. LACK OF BELIEF.
Read this carefully! Every "Tom" I've seen in this business has got this one.....and every one of them would also claim that it's not their problem.There are three levels of belief: hope, expectancy and certainty. Obviously you have to have a certain level of belief to get started. But "Tom" is forever stuck in hope. He doesn't really believe that he's going to be the guy earning thousands of dollars in a day or a week.He'll write the affirmations.He'll carry a goal card.He'll attend the training calls.He'll go through all the motions.But, at the end of the day, he won't take ownership of his own belief system.Here's one litmus test; it's not the only one but it's an easy one: most of the time Tom has never bought his conference tickets.Why? It's not because he doesn't have the money. It's because he doesn't really believe that he's going to make enough money to recoup that cost.And -- boom -- just like that. There it is: the lack of belief that is keeping him from making sales.Belief is the bottleneck for all action. You can have all the belief in the world but you only get credit for the amount of belief that you're willing to ACT on. So, if someone says "Oh, I believe this will work...I just want to make some sales at the BF level before I buy my tickets..."...., well that person is basically saying "I don't believe it and I need to prove something to myself."And that's the problem: when you have no belief of your own, you CANNOT prove anything to anyone, including yourself.The good news is that Tom can solve this problem easily, too. If Tom didn't believe that ducks existed, all Tom would need to do is go find a duck. If Tom didn't believe that someone could type 90 words per minute, Tom would just need to find someone who's doing it.Evidence creates belief.And, if Tom wants to operate at high belief, all he has to do is see all the evidence around him for how people just like him are getting phenomenal results in their business.And then take action on that belief himself. Buy the leads. Go to the conference. Attend a training event. ANY action that is based on belief will plant a seed of achievement in your business.
=====
Hopefully, this article will be of value to "Tom". He's a powerful guy but he's bought the lie that he's got to struggle in order to be successful.
So, my final words to "Tom" are these:
Tom, don't ever let anyone tell you that you're not powerful. You are. And you have everything within you that you need to be successful. But you're going to have to get off your ass...you're going to have to follow the system....and you're going to have to be bold and courageous in your decision-making.And when you do that...when you take your foot of the brakes....when you leap.....when you exhibit real belief in who you are and what you're doing.........that's when you will start making money so quickly you'll wonder where it's been hiding all this time.Now. Go do it.

Wake Up to Success - BEING THE LEADER
The CAR…..as simple as four wheels, combustible engine, steering wheel, seats. It wasn’t just an improvement on the horse and buggy, as primitive as it was compared to today’s cars.
Henry Ford is famous for saying “If I had given them what they wanted, I would have just given them a faster horse”
But that’s not what he did; Fords brilliance was to say….“If I want to go from point A to point B and if I was willing to forget everything I know about transportation with a horse and buggy, how would I do that?” and he completely skipped from walking to riding in an automobile, skipped over the whole concept of hooking a horse to a wagon. You see for years the world was stuck on the horse and buggy; big buggies, carriages, one horse buggies, four horse buggies and the passenger buggies. And Ford was willing to say, “If I were to completely scrap the existing method, how would I go about it?”
Point being, this is exactly what Brent Payne and Shane Krider did when they started Liberty League International. They looked at what was out in there in the marketplace and said “You know, that’s not going to work”; “All those things over there…those are designed for people that want to wait five to ten years down the road to become wealthy” and those other business models “No, that’s really designed for people who want to spend their time convincing people that they want to buy products every month” and so on. What Brent and Shane have put together is light years ahead, a simple business that’s designed for one type of person, the person who wants to play big in life and wants to get it done today, that’s who Liberty League is designed for.
So if I were to forget everything I know about network marketing and the other forms of business models; Liberty League is simply free enterprise in its most purest form; plain and simple. It’s a direct sales business with a built-in referral system. If you were to go outside of the home based business world, where people don’t understand the language, as far as, team building and you were to describe what we do to a realtor or someone in manufacturing the best way to describe it would be a direct sales business and it has a built-in referral system. It’s a drop ship business where you simple receive orders and then you pay the company to fill the orders. That’s it. It’s a simple business where we run an ad, when people respond and they sound like their more interested in becoming wealthy then working at a job, we invite them to listen to our presentation conference call. Someone else does all the explaining for us, a top earner in the company at that; then we have a follow up conversation where we bring someone else on the line to answer their questions. Customer buys the products, we get paid. Simple as that.
This is a business of putting people on presentations and collecting decisions and at the end of the day, I’m simply just a tour guide. I’m not convincing anyone to join and I’m not engaging in debates or overcoming objections (tip: if they have objections, they’re not a prospect – they’re happy where they are, they want to stay where they are)
So when you take a fresh look at what we do….to earn a substantial amount of money and allows us time freedom…. most of this business is delegated to someone else in the company. I don’t do the presentations or answer questions from my guests. My involvement is not only to be in receiving mode, but being the leader. When I show up in my business, whether it’s returning phone calls or answering questions for someone else on my team, my key role is that I’m being the leader myself. That’s the key, keeping it simple and being the leader.
I picked up this personal development magazine this pasted weekend and there was an article about a man who walked into a restaurant and a customer walks up to him and says “Hey Jack, the coffee always tastes better when you make it. I love when I see that you’re working, because I know the coffee is going to be great!” and Jack was sort of confused about this, because he was telling a friend…”everyone here makes the coffee the same way, it’s an automated machine, we fill the water to the line and all the coffee comes in pre-measured packets, we all push the same button, the water always comes out the same temperature, so how can it be that he thinks my coffee tastes better?” Well here’s the thing….Jack always washes the pots out before he makes coffee and he always uses the freshest packs of coffee and he doesn’t leave the filters dripping over the pot, dripping bitter water into the coffee. In other words Jack’s being the leader; Jack’s taking ownership of what he’s doing. He was making coffee just as simply as anyone else, but it wasn’t what he was doing, it was how he was doing it, it was who he was choosing to BE. And that is the metaphor that I’m taking on to my business today.
This business is as simple as making coffee. We run ads, we have conversations and we put people on presentation calls, then we bring a third party on the line, probably someone not even connected with the sale, they knock out a couple of questions, they’re either in or out or they’ll want to think out it, whatever, they’ll end up listening in on a Friday morning wake up call and make a decision one way or the other. And here’s the thing, the only variable in this business is me and the only variable in this business is you. We’ve all got the same system and when you really look at it for what it is; this system is really simple and we could over complicated and convolute it, but the fact is that anyone could use this compensation plan to reach their financial goals.
So it’s about our level of belief and our own willingness to show up in our business as the leader.
