I got it, I figured it out!

Last post, I was wondering how to make someone understand how awesome and wonderful Immunocal was. After much banging-head-into-wall, I finally figured it out:

Some people will not be helped.

It’s true. A good friend of mine told me this some time ago and I guess I just never really believed him. But it’s true, and now I really know this.

I was trying to explain to a friend of mine about Immunocal, how great it was, and so on. I thought they weren’t getting it because I was talking about glutathione, or clinical studies, or method-of-use patents, or the effects of antioxidants on cells, or oxidation… etc. It’s NONE OF THAT.

The bottom line is that it doesn’t much matter how you explain how wonderful Immunocal is if the person you’re talking to will not accept help. It doesn’t matter at all when the person can’t be helped. This person would not accept help from me. At all. I even tried to give ‘em a free box of Immunocal. Why? They had a real problem with their body and Immunocal would have helped tremendously (and I like to help people).

I somehow got them to take one packet in some orange juice. About an hour later, they decided it wasn’t for them, and they gave me back the whole box (well, the whole box minus one packet). They got much better overnight. Then, later on in the week, they got much worse again. They did not attribute their getting well to Immunocal.

This person still will not accept a free box of Immunocal from me.

Experiences like this make one not want to try and help anyone ever again. But here’s where you gotta keep on going. Here’s where you need to press on, push through the trouble area, and find someone who loves Immunocal.

There are lots of people out there who are willing to be helped. Find ‘em. Show them Immunocal. If they are interested, continue. If not, realize straight away that they cannot be helped and then don’t waste any more effort (and time) on ‘em.

Hope this helps! :-)

Immunotec meeting went well

The Immunotec meeting went well. We got to listen to Dr. Krank again, that guy knows his stuff. And he’s not paid to be there, he just does it to help.

Speaking of help, if you’re going to get anywhere in this company, you need to want to help people. If you just want to make money, this is not the company for you.

A guy named Brian got up and gave a very good short lecture on the state of “work” here in America. Have we been programmed to work a job and work our whole lives?

We got up early to go to school. We get up early to go to work.
We go to school to “learn” until recess. We work until our 10-min break.
We go back and “learn” until lunch. We work until lunch.
We take lunch until it’s time to go back and “learn” some more. We take lunch until it’s time to go back to work.
We get off school and go home. We get off work and go home (or maybe to a bar or something because now we’re adults).

Seems there is some similarity there. What say you?

Impressed with the President of Immunotec

I went to the recent Immunotec meeting here in Los Angeles. I went specifically to meet the president of Immunotec, Mr. Jim Northrop. I did meet him, he’s a very nice guy. I learned a lot about him, about his plans for expanding Immunotec, and let me tell you this: Now is the time to get on board with Immunotec.

I don’t remember the exact numbers, but this market is virtually untapped. You can completely own your area. I’m going to own mine (Hollywood), and you can come and get a piece of the gigantic pie with me. It’s huge. And with the recent changes to the compensation plan, you get a better return for your efforts to help people! It’s all good!

It was a much bigger turn-out, many people showed up. They had to get a bigger room for everyone. Unfortunately, I don’t have any pictures of the meeting. I lent my camera out to a friend and he’s not yet back from vacation. Next time.

For all the details and specifics, go to the next Immunotec meeting. I don’t even care if you join because of me. Just get your butt to the next meeting to get the details from these people and you’ll see it.

Another quick word on network marketing

I have read a lot of books on network marketing. I’ve heard a lot of info on the business, seen a lot of videos, heard a lot of CD’s, watched a lot of presentations, and so on. There are a lot of people in the biz, and there are a few who are really, really successful at it.

These “superstars” have systems. These guys and gals are amazing. They have their systems, and they work their systems and they make tons of money. Tons per month.

But what makes them “super”? What makes them “great”?

If you buy their courses, or their CDs, or their systems, and then follow them, you’ll be successful too… right?

But wait a second here… each of these superstars has their own system, and they are different! So which one do I follow? Which one do I do? And do I then make my entire downline follow the same thing and ensure that it is “duplicateable”? (The word “duplicateable” means “able to be duplicated”.)

The whole idea behind a duplicateable system is that everyone does the same thing, on down the line, and it just keeps on going and then you’re rich. It’s a good idea, but I don’t believe it’s workable. Why?

Because everyone is different.

Keep in mind, this is just my opinion, and I may be way off the mark here. I believe everyone should run their own business their own way. I believe everyone should not blindly follow someone else’s system, but invent their own system. If they do decide to follow someone else’s system, they should own it, make it their own, create it as if it were theirs, and then do their business.

This is the one thing which is consistent: all of these “superstars” each did their own thing.

Now, you start your own home-based business. You be your own superstar. You do your own thing. It’s your own business, after all. No one should dictate how you run it. You run it how you see fit. And may you be successful.

A quick word on network marketing

Network marketing is not easy. Network marketing is hard.

If someone approaches you on the subject and in some way tells you that network marketing is easy, they are lying right to your face. There is nothing easy about network marketing. The numbers are magical (just get two, who get two, who get two…) but the reality is that network marketing is the toughest business out there. Hands down, it’s the toughest business that I know of.

It is far, far easier to trade time for money. Isn’t that what most people do? Most people wake up without enough sleep to go do a job they dislike, so that they can get paid an inadequate amount of money, so that they can stay in debt. And when Friday night finally arrives, hey! It’s party time! Now it’s time to dress up, pack some cash into the pockets, and hit the town. I walk through Hollywood often. I walk by packs and packs of people who are lined up waiting to get into a nightclub (a building with music so loud that it’s impossible to communicate), get drunk/high, blow their hard-earned money, and maybe even get lucky later on.

Well, I was never the type to do what everyone else did. Right now, for example, I am typing on a Dvorak keyboard. I don’t know anyone else who uses a Dvorak keyboard. I don’t even know anyone who knows what a Dvorak keyboard is.

So, here I am, still building my network marketing business. Why? Because it’s hard or difficult? No, I don’t do things just because they are difficult. I’m still doing network marketing because I believe, in the end, that it’ll be worth it. It’s the same with the Dvorak keyboard layout; I’m not spending all this time and effort learning it because it’s difficult. I’m learning it because, once I’ve really got it and am fast on it, I’ll be able to smoke my best record on the qwerty layout. I’ll be able to rip on it like crazy. Remember: the qwerty layout was designed to slow you down. Why would I want to continue using a keyboard layout which was designed to slow me down? Because it’s too much trouble to learn a new one? That’s probably what most people would say. Well hey: I’m not like most people.

After over two decades typing on qwerty, I’ve totally got the layout. I can type pretty darn quick. But no matter how quick I am on qwerty, I’ll be able to go quicker on Dvorak. My fingers won’t move as far, either. Changing a standard is tough. But I believe, in the end, that it will be worth it and I’ll be using a keyboard layout which was not designed to slow me down, but to speed me up and make it easier to type.

Finally, in regards to network marketing… It is not easy. But If you work it consistently, network marketing has a way of paying off. That’s why I continue to work it. I believe, in the end, that I’ll get paid (lots) for all my hard work.

Immunotec Research is a company which decided to market their products with network marketing, and I believe they should be commended for it. This is why you cannot walk into a health food store and buy Immunocal right off the shelf. It’s only through an Immunotec Distributor that you can get Immunotec products.

I hope this article has been helpful. Click here to get your own Immunocal.
