I've been asked many times what was it that compelled me to check this opportunity out the way I did for four months. I was fortunate because the guy who sponsored me didn't just talk about the products. He certainly did talk about them and even did a couple demonstrations for me. But what I remember about that first encounter and hearing about this business was the fact that he also talked about possibilities - living debt free, earning more than you might need, travel, owning your own business, it's more about building than just selling, building a future for yourself.
I got excited about the possibilities - the future. I just had to learn if what he was saying was true. My goal became to learn about this new opportunity and to use the products, attend every meeting possible, and meet some people who where making it work and ask questions and listen to those people who were at the top.
I was 31 years old and had a good job, had a company car, wore a jacket and tie every day...but in my mind I didn't have much of a future. My desire was to have a future. That compelled me to learn as much as I could as fast as I could. It didn't take long to learn that this was a special company with awesome products and there were people I met who were very successful.
Here is my major point for today: every individual has the opportunity for a different future. The best way to get excited about the future is to know and accept the idea that we have an opportunity to re-design it. That is what happened to me. I started to think differently. I decided this opportunity had huge potential and all I had to do was to take advantage of everything I had learned. I had to get to work.
Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
