This post is inspired through a question I have been asked by a new Twitter contact.

I was asked this question, and frankly, I think it’s the best question I have been asked in a while, so, thank you Robert, for giving me the opportunity to write out my thoughts.

Success University, for those of you who know the business, opportunity and product, you will already know the answer to this question! It’s a resounding YES!

I think an important thing to cover is that given the nature of Success University, it gives us students the opportunity to reach out around the world and share the opportunity. The opportunity to give people the opportunity to add value to their lives. The principles taught within Success University are universal, they apply to all areas of our lives and can enrich anybody’s life.

I had an interesting discussion with my mentor, Dave, today… It went a bit like this:

Success principles can be a bit like jokes, jokes are often recycled and told in a different way… Have you ever listened to someone begin to tell you a joke and you think… yep, heard that, heard that, heard that and then someone else begins to tell you a joke, and all of a sudden it’s funny, it’s also like you’ve never heard it before.. the fact is, that in more cases than not, it’s actually a recycled joke that has actually been told before.

Success principles are similar I guess, they are the same things told in different ways by different people, it’s just a matter of whether or not our hearts and minds are receptive to the information being delivered at the particular time. Sometimes we don’t hear something until it is put in a particular way.

Success University provides us with the ability to learn to take on and apply these principles, it teaches us to be leaders, leaders in life.

Leaders realise that change is the only thing in life that is guaranteed, leaders realise that the only way to influence change is to have a clearly defined goal, leaders realise that in order to achieve their goals they must act…

So here is an acton from me

Thanks again Robert for such an inspiring question!

Cheers!

What a great day out it was on Sunday. I had the pleasure of attending The Team Event at a location I’d never visited before. Stoneleigh Park, just outside Coventry. A two and a half hour drive gave me plenty of time to listen to a brilliant recording by Jim Cathcart, which I thoroughly enjoyed by the way.The subject, All Leadership Begins with Self Leadership. It was very inspirational I digress…

I got to the event somewhat early, it was scheduled for a 2PM start, and there I was at 12.30, so I got to sneak in and meet Dave and some old faces I haven’t seen in years which was lovely.

You may or may not know I have been working with Gordon Bunker and Dave Butler, maybe I should be saying David Butler as this is what Tina calls him but old habits die hard right! So, it was a good chance to meet up with them, well, especially as we were launching the ebook to The Team members on the day!

As an aside, if you don’t know what ‘The Team’ is, then a good place to find out more is at The Team Website. Basically we are a team of UK Entrepreneurs who help each other grow our businesses, Neat eh The team promotes a number of businesses that pretty much anybody can build.. more of that on the website.

We got to set up a ’stall’ in the conference hall, a big thanks must go out to Gordon who had been up until 630AM getting everything sorted out, finalising the ebook, getting the exhibit together and everything. That man has boundless energy! He even managed to get a mail out to team members reminding them to bring a memory stick so they could leave the function with a copy of the ebook and a load of bonus material including spread sheets and some killer follow up email materials…

So, on with the conference. A highly enthusiastic and energetic presentation on the updates and, soon to be launched, Success University website by Roger Galloway. Roger stood in for his wife, Paula, who unfortunately couldn’t make the day due to ill health.  Roger has a style of delivery all of his own which captivates the audience and drives his message home in a fun and easy to understand way. The message was simple, the new Success University website is set to blow the opportunity wide open with massive growth expected over the next few years… do you want a piece of it?

Next up was Diahanne Rhiney, an outside speaker who gave a presentation on 14 steps for success. Success principles are universal and having an outside speaker in to deliver a presentation like this just goes to show that if you apply the principles taught, you can be successful not only in business but in all areas of life. A great speech.

There were plenty of breaks between presentations to mingle, associate, grab a coffee and chat with fellow team members and entrepreneurs which is so important. After all ‘The Power of Association’ really is a key factor in the changes required to move on and reach your goals. Who better to associate with, face to face, than some of the most successful networkers in the country!

Another fantastic speaker was Jerry Scriven, his speech focused on the current trends in the marketplace, you know that there has never been a better time to start a network marketing business right? There are literally millions of people all over the world looking to supplement and even replace their current incomes, and in some cases do it before the carpet is pulled from under them, just look at the banking sector, need I say more? The industry we operate within is poised to explode over the coming years, we are just about to be hit by a wave that will penetrate the public conciousness, especially with all the media assistance we are getting at the moment! I almost want to say “Yay, bring on the recession!” lol

Next, it was Dave Butler, Dave delivered a presentation on the new ebook, and the systems within.

We’ve called the ebook ‘The PIE System’. Passive Income for Entrepreneurs, catchy eh? The purpose of this ebook is to assist people to move into promoting their opportunities on the Internet. It has been put together for both Newbies and seasoned Internet Marketers alike. Dave’s presentation explained the principles employed to use a squeeze page system, backed up by a traffic system, which builds a targeted list of leads, which join your opportunities, which drive you traffic and so on.

The two systems detailed in the book are James Grandstaff’s Instant MLM Squeeze Pages and Stone Evans Plug In Profits. Two battle hardened and proven systems which can have you up and running building successful businesses online within hours!

These two systems have been carefully selected based on the people behind them. Both James Grandstaff and Stone Evans care about their clients, they demonstrate this on a daily basis and provide true value and support to their clients. They are both tremendously successful within the Network Marketing industry and have both built collosal businesses leveraging the power of the internet.

Dave called several people up on stage to talk about their experiences with the systems (yours truly included, which was flippin scary to be honest, but hey, I’ll give it a go!) These people vary from zero internet marketing experience to moderate and even advanced. I think it was ken who said “there’s two kinds of people, those I know and those i don’t know, there’s 6 billion people out there that I may be able to reach and get to know using these systems…” Sums it up really doesn’t it

I took this rather ropey picture while Dave was giving his presentation, no doubt my readers will have noticed I ‘ain’t that great’ when it comes to photography and pictures… my wife, Larina is a brilliant photographer I should really blag her skills to help me out a little

Lastly we heard from Malcolm Horsey, a tremendously successful e-lottery affiliate. I found out he was an ex-fighter pilot which I thought was cool His presentation covered two areas, the launch of the new e-lottery DVD and the launch of the new e-lottery website. The DVD is incredibly powerful as a tool which can be used to build the e-lottery affiliate business (I got hold of some while I was there, leave a comment and I’ll drop you an email if you’d like to see it) The new website is the result of some extensive research which has been commissioned over the past year or so and is geared up for the market.. the site launches Thursday!

In conclusion, what a fabulous day! I left with that ‘cannot fail’ feeling. It’s great to be part of a team, a team which shares a common goal and aspiration. It’s great to learn from the masters who are so unselfish in their willingness to share their skills, techniques and ideas. I am proud to be a part of it.

Thanks Very Much to Tina Nichols for getting these next two pics to me… I think she took pity on me lol!

The photographs were shot by Darren St Mart.

Roger Galloway hands the mic over to David Butler to begin his presentation on the PIE System

Yours Truly not actually looking that nervous I think I said something like “I asked Dave to help me build a network marketing business where I don’t have to talk to anybody!”

All the best!

It’s going to be a fun-filled and inspirational day.

So, What kind of person would want to attend this kind of event?

Why should you go?

It gives you the opportunity to meet and be around like-minded people, to listen and learn from speakers who have not only achieved success and are sharing what they have learned but also from speakers who will be sharing universal principles that will help anybody who wants to learn to move on and do great things with their lives and businesses.

How will you benefit?

The workshop will help you focus on what you need to do right now to move your business on. It will also build your knowledge, your confidence and your motivation.

The event is about getting yourself away from the weekly pressure and daily grind so that you can focus on what you want in the future for yourself and your family. When was the last time you did that?

You have dreams and goals you want to achieve. The workshop will provide you with the knowledge, the confidence and the inspiration to go out and claim your own personal victory. How important is that to you?

We all realise that nobody starts out successful. There are doubts to deal with, fears to fight and confidence to build. None of these obstacles can be overcome while we sit at home, or work all hours. To change our lifestyle, we must often change the way we think.

Who Will Be There?

A lot of people like you! People who believe in the same things as you and are chasing similar dreams to yours and succeeding.

Plus there are the speakers. People who have risen to the top levels of success, faced with the same obstacles as you, with the same fears and doubts as you, will take the time to tell you how they succeeded. At the function they will give you insights and practical help on why and how to win through.

At the function the speakers will be inspiring, they will be humorous, they will be knowledgeable and they will be passing on that wisdom so that you can learn how to build the same level of success they enjoy……as long as you are there.

This is what makes our business so special – successful people taking time to teach others to succeed.

All the Best
