Are You Up For Changing The World?

Well the debates are over and the campaign is heading down to the wire. The attack ads are in full force, and the rumors are swirling. Emails are being sent out, quotes taken out of context, and the smear tactics are being dragged into the mud.

Unfortunately I’m not referring to the election, but the attacks on your Agel business!

Sigh. Why do some people think the only way to grow a network is to tear down another one?

Last week people in Asia were saying that Eric Worre had left Agel.
Now this weekend they started spreading the rumor in Mexico, Israel and other places that I left the company. Well to paraphrase Mark Twain, “the accounts of our demise are greatly exaggerated!”

Eric and I are still here, we are still your partners in success, and we still have gel running through our veins.

The fact that other people feel that these kinds of tactics are necessary to build their networks says a lot about their state of desperation and their opportunity. I would ask that you not respond in kind.

Don’t get me wrong: I’m a competitor and I love a good contest.
And I’ve always been happy to debate the merits of Agel versus anyone in the business. I have 20 years of experience and perspective in the profession, so I’ve certainly developed some strong beliefs. And I have no problem debating the merits of top heavy compensation plans versus balanced ones, one product versus strong product line extension, having a duplicable system in place versus a “flavor of the week” approach, or other business support components.

But that means a real discourse of facts, evaluating the benefits of the products, how the comp plan rewards people, and what kind of a team system is in place to help people. It’s certainly not about spreading false rumors or anything like that.

If I reflect on my success so far with Agel, a lot of it would be because of my ability to focus. I’m really good about knowing what I want to do, creating a game plan, and then sticking to it. I never let distractions pull me away from the outcomes I’m seeking.

Think about when you’re driving and the traffic gets bottled up.
You creep along at two miles an hour, starting and stopping.
Finally after 45 minutes you get to the front of the line. Only to discover that there is an accident in the other direction, on the other side of the median. The only back up was people slowing down to rubber neck, hoping to see a dead body lying on the road.

I guess it’s my prosperity training, but I never do that. If I see that the emergency responders are there, I move right past the accident scene at a regular speed.

Same thing in business:

I’ve been getting some calls lately with people wanting to tell me about smear tactics being said about me on webcasts or conference calls from competitors. I thank the callers for wanting to alert me, but let them know I have absolutely NO desire to hear what is being said. I am focused on supporting my team, and I can’t be concerned about what anyone else is doing. And neither can you.
There are hundreds of other companies and I learned a long time ago, you can’t track everyone else’s business.

Agel is not for everyone, and I’m OK with that. There are lots of fine companies in network marketing and I wish for success in all of them. I don’t think we have to all fight over the same piece of the pie. I would much rather bake a bigger pie. There are still
6.4 billion people not in network marketing yet.

I’ll admit when we had some people take deals elsewhere, I listened to a couple webcasts. After all, when someone attacks your business and tries to steal your people, you want to know what they’re up to. But once I knew what their strategy was, I moved on.

The truth is, the company in question is a fine company that has helped a lot of people. There are just a few distributors taking this nasty, dishonest approach and the universe always sorts these things out.

I spent a long time doing my due diligence when I came to Agel. I chose Agel for the following reasons:

1) It was an original product idea, and the freshest one I had seen
in 15 years.
2) The Quadra-Plan was a wonderful new innovation in compensation,
offering fast start money for new people, transition income while someone built their team, and lucrative rewards for professionals that choose to take it serious and build a large team. Most importantly, it is balanced and fair, not top heavy.
3) I saw a chance to partner with Eric and create a very strong
duplicable system to support the team and get it into place quickly.
4) Agel had a very aggressive international launch and expansion
plan, so people could build a residual income to earn across many time zones, even as they slept.
5) Agel began from a position of strength, with a strong financial
partner to ensure that they could survive the initial bumps in the road.
6) There were great people in corporate, coming from good, with the
success of the team members at heart.

So what has changed about any of that? Absolutely nothing.

So why would I look at anything else? As I said at Agel World, if you’re married to Angelina Jolie, why would you lust after Rosie O’Donnell?

Not that there’s anything wrong with Rosie. She’s right for someone. But you have to know who is right for you. Agel is right for me because it fits my philosophy of prosperity.

I think the work we do with Agel is extraordinarily important and makes the world a better place. Our President, Craig Bradley often talks about the three primary ways we do this:

1) Promoting Better Health. We are leading the fight with breakthrough wellness products to combat the effect of all the junk food and empty calories being foisted on us by the big conglomerates. Suspension gel technology allows more people better and easier access to proper nutrition, wellness, and optimum health.

Our products are the only ones I have ever used that have reversed my vitaligo, so I swear by them. The Ageless line is simply world class. The tangible results people get from the FLX, OHM, FIT and now HRT speak for themselves. These are products that can help a lot of people.

2) Building Financial Security. The Agel business opportunity is helping people all over the world take charge of their financial future. Whether they want to eliminate debt, supplement their retirement, or create complete financial freedom, Agel gives them the chance to do that.

There has never been a time in our lives when this was more important. The current economic meltdown is wiping out people’s retirement funds, vaporizing their savings, and threatening their security. Many are getting their cars repossessed, losing their homes and filing for bankruptcy. And it’s going to get worse before it gets better.

Yes it’s wonderful that we have 23 Diamond Directors in Agel and others on the way. We’re all grateful for the lifestyle and incomes that provides us. But right now we all have to focus on sharing the Agel message to those not aware of it yet. We need to help people make $300, $500 and $1,000 a month with Agel. Believe me when I tell you that just bonus checks like these will save a lot of people’s houses and cars, pay doctor bills, or stave off bankruptcies. Down the road we can help them get to Senior Directors, Corporates and Diamonds. Right now they need help paying for gasoline in their cars, heating oil for their homes and groceries. Agel can help millions with that.

3) Giving Back. The Agel Cares Foundation allows us all to give back, and help others less fortunate than ourselves. Sometimes that means delivering essential medical or nutritional assistance in an impoverished nation far, far away. Other times it means providing life-sustaining skills to someone just down the street. But no matter what the project, the Agel Cares Foundation allows you to give back to a world that has given to you.

Just the smallest donation from you can pay for a child’s cleft palette surgery, finance a micro loan in a leper colony, or put books in a school. I hope you’ll join me and put an Agel Cares donation in your back office on autoship. Even a small donation can improve someone’s life forever.

Those three things are the essence of what we do. I would ask you that as we move forward that these are the things we talk about.
We don’t need to put out anyone else’s light to make ours seem brighter. We don’t need to poach distributors from other companies to grow Agel. We don’t need to lie, distort, or cut and paste quotes out of context from other companies. In fact, we don’t need to talk about them at all. Let’s just build our businesses on the foundation of the great benefits that Agel has to offer. Please keep your focus on that and leave the rumors, distortions and poaching campaigns to others.

When we say, “I am Agel” it stands for something. And we are proud to stand with you on that.

All this wasn’t even the reason I’m writing you today. It was simply going to be a reminder about the Leadership Training Call tonight. But since these rumors and emails were circulating, I wanted you to know the truth.

Success in Agel – and in life – comes from accepting a challenge to grow. You don’t chase success, you attract it by who you become.
So I hope you’ll join Eric and I both in growing your business by growing yourself. Building our teams, and building our dreams, by building up our people. And doing it from a prosperity consciousness, based on the three things we stand for:

1) Promoting Better Health.
2) Building Financial Security
3) Giving Back

I guess I’m one of those corny people that still believe that a small group of people, working together, on purpose, really can change the world. That’s what “I am Agel” is really about. Now let’s go do something about it!
