Who knew the Fresh Prince was so wise? Watch this video NOW!

By Ethan Lanagan On March 5, 20104 Comments

I have been a big fan of Will Smith since he was the Fresh Prince and he has developed to be one of the finest entertainers of his generation.  You can clearly see why in this video.  Great complication.

Stole this one off Frank Kerns Blog… So thanks Frank!

I would love to hear your feedback in some comments on this one?  What is your favorite quote from this video?  What is the biggest lesson?

Its amazing who we can learn from!

“You don’t try to build a well, you don’t set out to build a wall, you don’t say I am going to build the biggest baddest wall that has ever been built, you don’t start there, you say I am going to lay this brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid and you do that ever single day until you have a wall.”

The Next Trillion Dollar Giant is Now Launching!

By Ethan Lanagan On June 30, 2009 2 Comments
This is from a Newsletter I received from a high level leader and trainer in Network Marketing named Todd Falcone.  If you have been with the industry a while you have probably heard of him.  I will rarely promote anyone else on this blog and if I do it is because I get value from them.  Period!  I have met him personally and I get value from him.  He is a very high level networker and trainer and he never pitches any business through his training company.  Anyway this is a newsletter I received from him last week.  Check out his website and Blog at http://blog.toddfalcone.com/

This is from him…

Did ya hear?  If not, lemme fill you in.  The next Trillion Dollar Giant is now launching.  It is in total pre-launch, is absolutely ground floor, and you are guaranteed to become a millionaire almost overnight!
How’s that sound to ya?  Wanna join?  You ready?
SERIOUSLY now, aren’t YOU absolutely sick and tired of the hyped-up baloney that some people use in this profession?
The only Trillion Dollar Giant I’m aware of is the US economic deficit!  Good thing government isn’t running your network marketing company!
I have to SPEW a bit…and teach you a very VALUABLE LESSON!  You ready?
I just got back from five amazing days, conducting three separate training events in the Los Angeles area, and while I was down there, I had an opportunity to hang out with some really amazing people…and,
you know what else I did?  I checked my email and read this…
…before I share with you what I read, let me just say this.  This happens ALL the time.  The way some people “choose” to market (most of them who are broke) is sometimes literally sickening to me.  Whatever you do, DO NOT market your business like this!!!  While I won’t quote both of these emails verbatim, this is some of what was said from two different individuals “pitching” me on two different companies:
- The New #1 M*L*M Product in the World:  Unbeatable!
- You get 90% to 100% Retention!
- 100% Residual Auto Ship!
- It will be the Biggest in the History of M*L*M !!!
I’m already on the verge of vomiting (literally), as I type this.  I can’t even go on…it is THAT bad.  Look people.  Learn folks.  This kind of stuff is absolutely PATHETIC !  No wonder some people run when they hear that stuff…I would too.
The hype, the BS, the predictions of grandeur, the blah, blah, blah…YIKES!
Let’s FLIP THE COIN for a moment.  In other words, go a different direction, change of subject.
While on my trip, I also had some absolutely amazing conversations and meetings with HUGE network marketers who market and build big checks by finding a company they like, deciding to take action, put their foot on the gas, and go out and promote.
NONE of them, not a single one, markets in this fashion.  ZERO, nil, nada, ZILCH.
Ethically and responsibly they go about their business by consistently focusing on what matters most:  prospecting, recruiting, selling and training, WITHOUT all the hype.
The funniest thing in this little story is that in my 20 years of doing this, those individuals who make ridiculous claims and market using absolute poop for marketing material are the one’s who jump from company to company and never have any real security in their lives.
How do I know this?  One of the emails I received came from someone who has sent me at least two previous emails from TWO DIFFERENT COMPANIES in the past 6 months alone.
All along the way, I have friends like Dan McCormick, Jordan Adler, Brian Carruthers, Susan Sly, Donna Johnson, Margie Aliprandi, Ken Dunn, Michael and Leslie Hamburger and tons of others who simply GO TO WORK and build, without all the…
…I won’t even use the word for the others.
Look.  You’re in this profession for a reason, aren’t you?
You don’t want to go from company to company, be known as a “jumper”, and ruin your reputation by marketing on baloney, do ya?  Didn’t think so.
Remember…SUCCESS LEAVES CLUES.
If you don’t know what I mean by that, you may want to read that phrase again and let it sink in until you get it.
There is soooooo much money to be made, so much time freedom to be had, so many lives to impact in a positive manner in this profession, but the only way to do it, is baloney-free.
Here’s how you do it right:
  1. Pick a company.
  2. Make the commitment to build it.
  3. Start building it and don’t stop.
  4. Help people get what they want and maintain your focus.
  5. Work hard and work smart.
  6. Don’t quit.
  7. Be honest…first and foremost with yourself!
  8. Be REAL.  In other words, be genuine.
  9. Keep working on your skills.
  10. Lead by example.
That’s it in a nutshell.  I’m back in town and ready to rock for our M*L*M Power Hour on Monday night (that might be tonight…depending on when you get this).
Join us, won’t you?  Dial 641-594-7500 and enter code 248873#.  It starts at 5pm Pacific Time.
Happy Father’s Day to all you Daddy’s out there!
See you on Monday night at 5pm Pacific Time.
Serving the Greater Good of our Profession,
