Don't Work for Money, Just for the Money

 When looking for a good job, one of the first questions a person often asks is, "Is this worth my while?  Do you value my skills and experience?  How much will I be paid?"  

Not as many job applicants ask, "What value can I contribute to your organization that would make it worth your while to hire me?"

As an entrepreneur, in the same vein, when you set your goal to achieve financial freedom, you won't reach it if you just center on how much you're going to get in return for your efforts.  The very rich report that your aim needs to be on creating value for others, and the money will follow.

Centering on your own goals to make money, can lead to deception, pressure tactics and insensitivity, which are quickly exposed, with disastrous results.

Instead, money comes to those who first offer value for products or services, that meet the needs of a particular market and truly enhance other people's lives.


For example, with your company, you can center on manipulating people to order your products or services, without first determining what the best decision would be for them.  The result with that approach is a short-lived transaction, with disappointment on both sides, and consequently, immediate income without a lasting relationship and sales.

 Never do anything just for the money, ever.  Instead, find something you love to do that offers society something valuable, and the money will follow, especially as you develop your skills for effective listening and marketing.

Friendships Are A Global Benefit At USANA

How important are your friendships and where do they come from?  Do you realize that people who have a variety of close friends, enjoy better health?  It can even affect your financial freedom.

Prior to becoming Associates with USANA Health Sciences, some 16 years ago, our friends were mainly from our church circle.   There were a few as well from various companies, but we had little in common beyond business.

You see me here with Therese Dandeneau, a friend and member of our Success on Purpose USANA team.  We first met her through another team member, and now we count Therese and her husband Bob as good friends.  Because we all care about our health and want to encourage others to be proactive with theirs as well, we have much in common.  She happens to be musical, so we share that interest as well.

During our travels to USANA conferences, cruises and speaking engagements, we've gained friends from around the globe.  It feels good for the soul to have their support, and to support them in return.  We are constantly learning from our friends and feel we are becoming better people because of them.


Cherish your friendships.  Cultivate them.  Make a new friend on a regular basis.

Winnipeg. Why is Second Place Considered a Failure?

If the Canadian Grey Cup football final game was an Olympic event, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers would have received the silver medal.  We would consider them winners who were privileged to try for the gold.  The team would return home to an enthusiastic, group hug, recognizing worthy competitors.


However, even with the Olympics, people do tend to glorify and remember only the Gold medal winners.  Being number two in the world just doesn't receive the same reward; it's a step lower on the podium.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers were playing with Success on Purpose for the season, resulting in a first place standing for the Eastern Division, compared to last place the year before.  That was a gold medal, however short lived, with great rejoicing and anticipation, even though people knew that one of the teams in the battle between East and West, would have to settle for the silver medal.


Why is second place considered a failure?  People who run marathons are considered heroes just for participating and reaching the finish line.  

In business, we can't all be number one and it doesn't really matter.  With a Success on Purpose attitude, each day gives us a new opportunity to have a successful appointment, a new sale, a developing business relationship, a fresh learning experience.  In fact, it's a privilege and a reason to celebrate, just to be in the game.

How the WE Campaign Can Move Your Business Forward

The WE Campaign in Winnipeg, has generated massive attention and action, encouraging everyone to be more other-oriented and to multiply their efforts for greater impact.


Accomplishments through a group effort have pioneer roots; that's how North America was explored and inhabited.  

My grandparent's farm was built by neighboring farmers coming together to build the barn, chicken koop and farmhouse.  Then, they all welcomed the next farm family with a barn raising as well, and cold cellars packed with food.

When we built our home in Winnipeg, friends appeared one day to help paint all the rooms and hallways.  Then they celebrated their achievements over beer and turkey dinner. 


How does the WE approach relate to your success?  We've seen the strength of teamwork in our USANA business.  

One person's energy is multiplied by the group to achieve more than any one person could even imagine.  In our case, we have a deep desire to bring a better standard of health to others, not just for the short term, but for their entire lives.  Consequently, the health of thousands is affected as more people catch that vision and pass it on.

For those who want it, we also help them leverage their time and effort as a team, to build an income without limits.


Our only regret is that we didn't know about the network marketing industry and USANA sooner.  WE works.

How to Win Beyond the Wavering Stock Market and Take Control

It can be depressing to watch the stock market suffer due to the European debt crisis.  Watch your stocks go up and down daily with the latest news.  This does not lead to financial freedom, but rather financial stress and even failure.

Closer to your doorstep is the U.S. crisis, hanging on the success of the Congressional Supercommittee, which can't come to agreements on pretty well every issue.  The stock market was reeling again today.  As the economy falls, so do jobs and businesses.

How can you take control of your own financial future?  Many options are being suggesterd, including purchase of gold, silver and other precious metals.

Let me suggest a more viable option.

Leveraged, residual income through network marketing, in particular with USANA Health Sciences.  
Now, you don't just sit and hope your income grows, like you would with a stock.  It takes consistent effort to build a team of like-minded entrepreneurs, who value their health and their financial freedom.

Is it worth the dedication required, to sleep peacefully at night, knowing your finances are in order and growing?  Are you proactive about your health, enough to take action with your supplementation, weight management and attention to food choices?

We want to share our secrets with you, for creating financial freedom and optimal health.  Join our Success on Purpose blog for regular updates.  Even better, contact us now to become a USANA Asso ciate and member of the Success on Purpose team.

USANA Beats the Lottery Odds

One of the lottery winnings for this week across Canada is $40 million.  What are your odds for winning that jackpot? Infitismal, and even less if you don't buy a ticket.

Others gamble in casinos, where the owners realize millions every week, and most participants head home with change .

Just like the above, you have to actually participate with USANA to see million dollar results.  There are 170 dedicated Associates who have earned one million dollars and more with the company.  

It took us 8 years to earn our first million with USANA, while others on our team have accomplished that in four years, and yet others took 10 years.  When you play to succeed with USANA, your odds for financial freedom surpass those of a lottery ticket or a casino game.

Along with the earnings, come tax benefits from owning a USANA home-based business, more vibrant health and an exciting lifestyle.

Don't gamble; trust your life to USANA instead.   Join our Success on Purpose Team and begin your own journey to financial freedom.

How Does Boxing Shadow Business Success?

"El Gallo" José Antonio Rivera, a USANA sponsored athlete and three-time world champion boxer, inspired us when we shared the stage with him in the Boston area recently.  He continues to push us forward mentally, as we witness his dedication and positive toughness.


With boxing added to my workouts at the gym, I'm seeing some of the similarities between that sport and business acumen.


Have you noticed that boxers have "dancing feet" to keep their opponents off guard and to be super flexible and ready to attack from any angle?

That's like a business leader being ready to spring from on top of his or her desk to meet a rapidly changing market.


Boxers employ strategic manoeuvers with their jabs, crosses and undercuts.  They assess their opponent by the second, and deliver deciding blows.  In the business arena, we might call it brilliant vision with a twist that surprises the competition.

Mental toughness is paramount for world class boxers and business leaders.


According to José, daily optimal supplementation with USANA, is a priority to achieve maximum, champion output.   

Financial freedom and achievement in any area of your life and mine, are waiting "in the ring" as we go forward with a boxer's determination to dominate and win.

Climbing the Ladder to Success Takes Persistence, Dedication

Financial freedom, financial security, financial success, or whatever else you call freedom from financial stress, doesn't come easy for most of us.


It's daily input, which, like this Jacobs Ladder, sometimes feels like you are working hard but not getting anywhere.


However, just like this particular gym equipment, you're working your muscles, toning up, and making yourself stronger, even when it might not show at the time.  Develop a long term vision for what you want to accomplish.


This particular exercise at the gym is not my favorite choice, because it requires more stamina than I sometimes want to expend.   The same goes for various activities in building a strong business.  Many people procrastinate and say they don't like to sell.   But they are selling themselves every day in some way.  They might have to spend more time developing their sales abilities so that it comes easier.  (The ladder does get easier as you become more familiar with it.)


Are you procrastinating with something that would make a huge difference to your business?  Get on that ladder to success and practice until your sales muscles are stronger.....or whatever part of your business needs strengthening.

#Financial Freedom. What's your Why?

The difference between those who achieve their goals in life, and those who don't, can often be tracked to their "why".   What drives leaders to take action, and to push through the challenges that will inevitably threaten their progress?

Kevin Guest, President for North America with USANA Health Sciences, shared with us on a conference call this week, four areas he has discovered if you want to be successful in life and achieve financial freedom.

1.  Life tests us for our level of commitment to act.  Constant and consistent effort can move mountains.  Rewards come when you take action until you achieve what you set out to do.


2.  Our rewards are in exact proportion to our service.  In the case of USANA, we are serving others for their health and their financial well being.


3.  What do you radiate as a leader?  Set an example and duplicate this with others.


4.  Judge each day by the seeds you plant, not by your harvest.  You need to over plant to get the crop you want.  Put your fears aside and start with small bites of activities.  Consider the potential of the seeds you plant.


Have you written down your "whys"?  Are they big enough to propel you into constant and consistent action?  Do they drive you to plant lots of seeds for a plentiful harvest?
