Windows of Opportunity

A smart company always opens new windows of opportunity for the distributors. This keeps business fresh and exciting. It gives us all a reason to contact our downline teams that may be inactive, or to call that neighbor and family member again to update them on the newest product you have to offer them. Our new window this past year was Verve - the energized version of Vemma. And in January 2009 at our convention in Vegas it will be the Verve Shot! Setting the standard wherever we go, the "jungle juice" craze, the energy drink boom, now the "shot" --- Vemma is giving you a chance to blast your biz. Run with it. It's hot!

Walk Away Income $$$

I'm writing this week's blog from Istanbul, Turkey while here visiting my son & his family. Most know that wherever my pro basketball player son plays, I get to visit for a week or two. So once a year, either me or both my husband & I get to visit unique places, & every time, we are very thankful for our Vemma business. Why? Because no matter where we are in the world (even on vacations), our business grows & the weekly checks consistently come in via direct deposit. This is what true walk away income opportunity is all about. On the other hand, my vocal teaching business sees no income whenever I leave. If I don't teach, I don't make any money. (Sound familiar?) This is completely opposite from your Vemma business model. And therein lies the magic to residual income (MLM). Like the movie "Field of Dreams" ... "If you build it, they will come!" "They"- in this case - are the weekly bonus checks. Once team members, like yourself, truly understand the power of residual income - of duplication - of this opportunity ... the more committed you'll be to building your business consistently - building long term. Does it happen fast? No. It takes time. But consistent enrolling of new members every week, & helping your team members enroll new members, will see consistent autoships & business building = $$$ for you! I understood this concept of network marketing over 30 years ago. A light bulb went off in my head when I "got it." From that point on, I had to be involved & teach others the power of network marketing. I've always worked from home, raised six great kids, travelled the world, & have made great friends with this business. Those friendships have lasted forever. Everyone can see success with this business, no matter where you live or what your background is, IF you have the desire to succeed & consistently enroll new people onto your team. You have the best product. You have an incredible company being your efforts. And if you don't quite understand this business, the company & upline tools are in abundance. Just plug in - listen to weekly calls - explore our www.teamburgess.com support site - & talk to people. Use the tools - the gift cards - the magazines - the literature - the hotline (678) 298-4595 - your website. Use - talk - enroll. Keep it simple & have fun. Catch the wave & run hard with it! xo

5 Year Game Plan

Networkers are a funny group of peeps. Most get all excited for about six months,then if they aren't making those big checks, they bail, lose their vision and think something is wrong with the opportunity. This business has huge rewards, but it takes hard work & commitment to see it through. Just like anything else in this life, achieving success takes time. What's your 5 year game plan? Thoughts and words spoken out loud should be geared towards giving your all for 5 solid years. The results will be astounding. Staying positive & focused on achieving the goals is crucial. And that takes keeping plugged in with your upline teams. I say "teams" because there are lots of upline people cheering for you to succeed. There's nightly calls, support websites, training lines, opportunity messages, corporate monthly calls, weekly webinars, back office updates, magazines, gift cards, etc. It's amazing the amount of support you have at your fingertips. Back in the day (been in this too long) - support just wasn't there. Either you had the internal motivation to succeed or you didn't. No one held your hand or provided you anything more than a monthly feeble magazine. And yet, we saw big time success. With a new year around the corner, sit down & write new goals, a new Prospect 100 list (yes 100!), take daily brisk walks with headphones on your head playing motivation music, tune in & turn on the heat. With the Verve SHOT coming at convention, the sky is the limit! And with this horrid economy ... we all need something big to happen with Vemma!!!!!!!

Core Strength!

When I started my Vemma business, all I had was the fabulous Vemma core formula to share - no Verve. After using it for just a couple of days, I had miraculous results in many areas. I slept all night for the first time ever. I'm known for being up all night working because I've never been able to sleep. That all changed when starting on Vemma. I've slept every night since. That is major. My headaches that were constant, disappeared. I had clarity of mind & focus. I've suffered from bronchitis since junior high school with chronic bouts when the weather starts to cool down. Interestingly enough, I've not had bronchitis for over a year since being on Vemma. The most incredible success I've had was with my neuropathy. I'm a type 2 diabetic that struggled with foot & ankle challenges & was forced to wear stupid shoes, until Vemma. As long as I keep that product flowing through my veins (so to speak) I can wear normal shoes! All of the swelling in my feet & ankles subsided because of Vemma. The core formula is amazing. I feel strongly that everyone should be on it for prevention, as well as ailment healing. It works. It's proven. The core formula brought about Verve. I love Verve. I take 1 to 2 every single day. But sometimes, people don't take Verve seriously. They think it's just an energy drink that they can be without. Not so. It's Vemma in disguise. But, strategically speaking, if I were you I'd call every sick friend you know & get them saturating with Vemma - the core formula - first. Anchor them in with Vemma. Then alternate, if they choose, with Verve. But, anchor first with the core formula. Miracles will happen for them. You'll have a customer/member for life! Anchor. Think core!

December Cheer!

I love first days of the month, especially when it falls on Monday. Just feels fresh & new. New energy. New goals. New outlook. New ideas. Love it. Today is December 1, 2008. It's Monday, & it's time to fire yourself & re-hire yourself to start fresh & new. Enroll new people. In fact, set a goal to sponsor ten new before New Years Day. That gives you 30 days to set the stage for your business to explode come 2009! Chunk that down so you know what you have to do weekly to achieve that. Don't procrastinate ... percolate! Start by writing a new Prospect 100 list. Then book three holiday Verve parties (Tastings). Don't prejudge the situation or over think it. Just start calling your Prospects & invite them to come to a holiday Verve party. Have them bring a favorite holiday treat to share (or white elephant gift) & come enjoy a quick (45 minute) Tasting presentation at your home. Keep it festive. Keep it fun. Find new people to enroll. Dove-tail by booking more holiday tastings with people who attend your party. Get momentum going for 2009 by bringing in new this month. New people will change your thinking & re-energize your business. Start today. Don't put it off. Decorate your house & put your dreams & goals into massive action! Have fun!!!
