How to Multiply Your Commissions and Create Resources (with David Wood and David Sharpe)

Practicality dictates that everyone's results will vary as we are all unique and different. Basically, it takes hard work to make a substantial income in this business, and some people will make no money at all. The earnings of an Empower Network affiliate will be 100% dependent upon their skills, work effort, commitment, leadership capabilities, and market conditions. Common sense would suggest that in most opportunities, one would find exceptional individuals performing well above average, while others perform under the average. Empower Network does not guarantee any level of income or your success.

Here's how we're going to start out the call. This is what I want you guys to do. I'm actually going to unmute the lines again, and I want all kind of in an organized, chaotic way, I want everybody to absolutely scream their butts off if you're excited,

and pumped up to be on this call. Guys, listen, this is going to be a big call. It's very rare that Dave and I are actually on the same call together these days just because we're busy and we're doing different things at different times. So guys, again, if you're on this call, you are absolutely in the right place at the right time, and this is going to be a big, big call. It's going to be a breakthrough for a lot of you on this call tonight.

So again, I'm going to unmute the lines. I want you to freaking scream your head off if you're excited, and then we'll get started here in just a few minutes. That's what I'm freaking talking about. That's what I'm talking about. Guys, this is Dave Sharp, co-founder of Empower Network, and I'm absolutely as or more excited to be on this call as you are.

Guys, tonight's call is going to be something that I like to just refer to as epic, and the reason why is because first and foremost, my partner and I are both on the call tonight. What we're going to be doing is breaking down and revealing exactly how we've made so much money as affiliates over the course of not only the last, 90 to 120 days, guys, since our last event. It was back in June 10, 2012, but also in the past 10 months, and the reason why I say 9 or 10 months, the reason why I say that is because I want you to keep in mind a couple of things over the course of this call. Number one, Dave and I, the owners of this company, are actually affiliates just like you are. That's something that sets us apart, and one of the reasons why we're so different than any other company out there in the industry, right now, is because we're actually in the trenches, and we're actually marketing and working right alongside of you guys.

So that's something that we're committed to doing since day one. It's something that we'll never stop doing. It's something that we are more excited to be doing more now because we've built this amazing infrastructure to support you guys. But that's the first thing that I want you to keep in mind. The second thing that I want you to keep in mind is that we, when we first got started as a company, and Dave and I actually, went through merchant issues.

Now, a lot of our people continued to process. So we're coming up on our year anniversary on October 31st. But there was about a month, a month and a half, throughout that period of time, that we went through some startup challenges just like every single company does when they launch. And most companies don't make it through, number one, because they're weenies and they don't have the heart to persevere through some struggles. But number two is because they don't see it coming and are not prepared or don't, have the right resources or resourcefulness in place to be able to get through it.

Number three is this. We're going to be talking about incomes tonight. We're going to be talking about how to get big-ass techs on stage. We're going to be talking about how our people, how our leaders, how even the average people who have never had success inside of the industry before have made a lot of money inside of Empower Network. This is going to be a call that's geared towards our affiliates tonight.

Now, if you're somebody who's just interested in being a customer and using our products, we love you, and you're welcome to listen to us. We love you. You're welcome to listen in. But this is going to be geared towards how to make more money in your business faster tonight, and we're actually going to break down some of the principles that we've actually used, some of the actual real-life strategies, concepts, principles that we've used to be able to go in the last 11 months to create an empire that's really bigger than the majority of companies that have been out there for a long time. We're going to be talking about income.

I want you to know that we have an income disclosure at empowernetwork.com forward slash income dot php. And just because we talk about income and how much income that we've been able to make over the course of the last 9 to 11 months doesn't mean that everybody is going to experience those same results. So I wanted to get that right out of the way to be compliant first and foremost, but also to be realistic so you know that not only are we doing what we're saying and we're getting huge results, but we're also realistic and we're real people. We put our pants on the same way that you do. And if you're on this call for the very first time getting plugged into what we're doing here at Empower Networks, I want you to know that we are real people who experience real things, go through real struggles, and have been exactly where you are sitting in your seat tonight listening to this call or if you're like me pacing around your house because you're all pumped up.

Guys, I don't say that lightly. A couple of years ago, actually now it's been almost five years ago, I was at rock bottom myself. And I'm going to tell you this just for identification purposes because again, I want you to realize that here at Empower Network, not only do we show and teach people how to make money and a lot of people, and I mean a lot of people are getting massive results, but we also experience a lot of personal breakthroughs as well. And we've come from places that are some of the most rock bottom situations that a lot of people have ever experienced. Me personally, and this is just my story almost five years ago, I was at rock bottom struggling with addiction, alcoholism.

I had been homeless off and on. And for 10 years, I had my daughter when I was 16. I left my mom's house when I was young at about 14 years old. And from 14 for the next six to 10 years, life was difficult for me. Six to eight years or so.

I made it really difficult on myself because I'm absolutely not a victim. Of course, there were some circumstances that were beyond my control. But I was at a place almost five years ago that I could barely think for myself. I couldn't put a couple of sentences together. I definitely couldn't hold a thought.

I'm still ADD as hell. But back then, I was super ADD. And guys, I literally had to humble myself to ask for help, crawl my way into a room, ask some people to help me save my life. And it worked because I humbled myself because I realized that what I was doing wasn't working. And I want you to relate this to business and life as well.

If what you've been doing up until this point has not been putting money in the mailbox, then maybe it's time that you try a different way. I had to do that in my personal life, which started to teach me a lot of the principles that I now use in my business that's allowed me to do millions and millions and millions of dollars in sales online. Guys, I've been through the ringer and back. Fortunately for me, because I got around the right people at the right time, at the right place, and followed my heart and stopped thinking my way out of every good situation and opportunity that was in front of me, I'm going to say that again. Because I followed my heart, and my unconscious, and stopped thinking my way out of every good situation and opportunity that was in front of me, I've been able over the course of the last five years to not only stay completely clean and sober, completely turn my life around, go from robbing Peter to PayPal, having no money in my bank account, just being in a ridiculously desperate financial situation, not having my daughter around me, to not only being debt free and having money in the bank account, having assets, but getting my daughter back.

She lives with me, and I take care of her full time today. She's 12 years old, almost 13. Pray for me. Most unbelievable kid ever. And I've also built businesses and learned some concepts and secrets because I needed to.

I was working construction after getting clean, driving an old 1994 F-150 with the paint peeling off of the front hood, and it was just a big rust bucket piece of crap. A lot of you have seen pictures of it and know where I came from, but I got involved in this industry. And for a long time, I struggled because I didn't know what I'm going to share with you guys on the call tonight. I was grinding. The numbers weren't making sense in my business.

I actually started out the same way that many people start out, which is sitting in front of a home presentation. I saw you get five, who get five, who get five. I was instantly seduced and said to myself, I'm going to be rich in this son of a bitch. And I was absolutely hypnotized by the whole thing. By the whole industry.

By the concept of being an entrepreneur. Now, I had absolutely been an entrepreneur in my life before that. It was just on the wrong side of the railroad tracks, if you know what I mean. And a lot of people said, Dave, you'd make a great business person, a great entrepreneur, if you just find a legal business. And that was, of course, before I got clean many, many years ago.

But when I got involved in the marketing industry, I did all of the dumb things that so many of us do when we first get started, guys. Not only did I chase friends and family, not only did I put signs, signs in my yard, magnets on that old rust bucket truck, but I didn't understand the numbers. I didn't understand the metrics. I didn't understand what traffic was. I didn't understand what a sales funnel was.

I didn't understand the concept of making automated sales online. I didn't understand that you could literally sell as much as you wanted to on the internet or through an automated sales funnel without picking up the phone because nobody had ever taught that to me. They were absolutely looked up to and put on a soapbox by everybody around them. It's really just below getting started. I mean, truthfully, what we've done here at Empower Network due to the information that we're going to be sharing with you tonight and just that we literally had to fight for some of the secrets that we know today and that we use and implement and teach people inside of our business, but what we've done is we've actually recreated the way people look at income.

We've absolutely revolutionized the way that people look at a top earner or, you know, top earners. And I want you to think about this for a second. If you're brand new on the call tonight or if you're somebody who wasn't in San Diego and didn't get the opportunity to witness what happened there, we literally, literally had three thousand freaking people travel and make the commitment to come out and show up in San Diego for our last event which was called Fight the Forces of Evil and when I asked the room how many people in the room had made money, over 90% of the room stood up. Now this is no coincidence. We had an event three months ago to where I did the same exact thing on a Friday night and over 90% of the room stood up.

Why is that? It's because what we've done here at Empower Network is we have completely handed over the hands-free system that we used and developed when we were getting started to make money and we've literally handed it over to the people and the affiliates inside of Empower Network so they can literally replicate what we were doing when we were getting a lot of results before we started the company. See, my partner and I before we started the company were in a situation to where we had been in the industry for a while. We were producing big numbers. As a matter of fact we had both built really big teams in separate companies and both had a company shut down on us, which was one of the reasons why we said to ourselves never again will we put our eggs in the basket of company owners who are not willing to fight to the death, which is why a lot of you saw when we went through our challenges and struggles at the beginning of the year or when we launched Empower we didn't stop fighting.

We persevered through. But what we did and the reason why we really started the company was because we understood how to create automated sales funnels. We understood the metrics. We understood the numbers. We understood how to increase the lifetime value of a customer, which would enable somebody to make more with less traffic and less leads, whereas really what we were doing was we were doing a large volume with very small commissions, and the average person with a very small ad budget couldn't replicate what we were doing because we had made some money.

We understood buyer psychology. We understood how to market, and if we wanted to dump money into paid advertising we had the budget to be able to do that. Unfortunately, the majority of people in this industry do not have that. And if you're sitting on this phone call tonight and you're wondering why you've been trying every six ways till Sunday to try to make money inside of this industry and you've been failing, you've been looking for the secret. And course after course and guru after guru but haven't been able to find it.

The reason why is because A, the numbers are working against you. B, most likely you don't have the ad budget to be able to dump into a marketing campaign. And C, even if you did have the correct ad budget you wouldn't be able to pull back the numbers or get a good ROI because the commissions are too low or they're too scattered out. Or finally, whatever product you're selling, most likely you're not selling your own; whosoever products you're selling, the marketing sucks. The majority of network marketing companies and a lot of even affiliate marketing companies, their marketing sucks, they don't know how to sell.

Okay? So there are some things that we did to start this company that we wanted to hand over to our teams and to the people to be able to leverage our skill sets to be able to make money and not just any type of money, not just a little bit of money, but 100% of the commissions. Now a lot of people when we got started thought that we were crazy because we were paying 100% commissions. Well let me tell you something friend, and I'm going to teach you some very high level advanced skills on this call tonight, so is my partner Dave, that if you listen and if you use these and if you really absorb this information, you don't even have to implement it right away. Now is that a guarantee of income?

Absolutely not. I don't know who you are, I don't know what you're going to do with the information, I only know what I've been able to do with the information and what thousands of other people have been able to do who I've personally coached and who are involved in Empower Network. First and foremost, guys, one of the reasons why we've been able to grow like we've been able to grow is A because of the psychology of how to keep a team around and how to attract people. First and foremost there's two ways to keep people around, that's get a check in their hand or get them some recognition. Now the majority of companies, typically over a period of since the industry really started, have kept people around through recognition.

That means that the majority of leaders in network marketing companies are not making as much money as you think that they are. Yes, this is a little controversial, but sometimes the truth hurts before it sets you free. Guys, they're not making the big money and they're not keeping people around because their checks are big, they're keeping people around because they give them the recognition. Okay? Another thing and another point that I want to point out to you is that Dave and I are actually affiliates.

Okay? And even though we don't put our name on the leaderboards, we've produced an astronomical amount of volume and made an astronomical amount of affiliate income by doing the same exact thing that everybody else has done inside of the company. We've done nothing different, we've had no special deals. Is there company revenue? Absolutely. But that's completely separate from this conversation, and the only thing that I'm going to be talking about on tonight's call is affiliate income.

Guys, there are some things that you have to know to understand, and the truth of the matter is you only have to understand them if you really want to go out and empower people with value and share a message and be able to teach other people. The fact of the matter is, and I want to really stress this, is this works whether you understand it or not. That's why our company is so powerful, it's why our movement is so powerful. But one of the reasons why we've been able to do what we've been able to do is because we understand marketing funnels, we understand how to create more value per customer, and it's one of the reasons why we've been able to make so much so fast without pounding phones, without doing a bunch of the things that the majority of the people have to do to build a business inside of this industry. First and foremost we understand how to build a marketing funnel, okay, a good marketing funnel, and there's some deep psychology that goes into creating a marketing funnel that really converts for you.

The focus is on conversions, and that's conversions on the front side, then that's conversions on the back side. Our conversions are both just astronomically high because we understand how to write copy and we understand how to create conversions on both the front and the back. Here's what I mean by that. Your total customer lifetime value of a customer has to be high. If it's not high you're absolutely going to drown yourself in debt, and here's what a lot of people do.

They're told that traffic is the secret. They're told that they have to go out there and dump a bunch of money in advertising, and I can tell you that's absolutely part of the secret. The reason why people dump so much money into Empower Network is because the lifetime value of each customer is on the low end a few hundred dollars, and on the high end for some of our affiliates like Lawrence and Shakir, Dave and I, lifetime value of each customer is upwards of seven or eight hundred dollars, guys. So how do we create that? Well we create that because we have something for everybody to buy, and we always have something in front of somebody for them to buy on your behalf, and it's there for them to buy whether you're there to sell it to them or not.

Why is that? Because we created the funnel, we understand the conversions on the front and the back, and we understand how to create the funnel. How do we create a larger lifetime value of each customer? Now how do we do that? Well one of the ways that we did that is we rolled out the 15K formula and we rolled out a thousand dollar commission.

Now they're at $997. Truthfully we're about to change those back to a thousand dollar commissions because quite frankly I just think $997 is kind of weenie. This ain't Walmart. It's either a thousand or it's nothing. So we're going to change it back to a thousand.

That's just a side note. But when we released that thousand dollar product, what happened was not only people in the business of the product started to learn the real how-to. If you don't have that product you have to get that product. The reason why is because in some of our other products we teach advanced strategy, psychology, how to move and sell through stories, but in that particular product we taught the how-to, how to drive traffic, where the traffic sources were, copywriting strategies. I broke down Facebook pay-per-click.

We broke down solo ads, where to get solo ads, how to write them, what the best things to do are in the ads. We taught how to blog persuasively, how to create social media movements through Facebook and Twitter and all of these other social platforms. But guys, here's what it did on the affiliate side, it created almost triple the amount of revenue for each customer. Why? Because all of a sudden somebody could come in and earn a thousand dollar commission, and they had to get if they earned one commission that made up for 15 or 20 customers who might have bought something much cheaper in another deal.

So what I did for many years, and so did Dave and so many other people on this call, is we sold a whole lot of a little tiny commission product, and it took forever to even be able to make our money back. Do you guys realize that? We got exactly what we wanted. So that's the next step in building your business. Set a perfectly clear intention of what you're going to achieve, and you go after that thing like a dog at a gnarled meat-covered bone, and you don't let go of it until you got it.

You just go after it with all your heart and soul. Why? Because, folks, what is there in life other than living your dreams, other than giving your family the lifestyle they want, other than flying around and being able to do the things that you want to do with who you want to do them, other than fulfilling your purpose and your destiny in life, what is there to do? You're in the right place at the right time. Now it's time to make a decision.

And that's the next step. You've got to have a clear intention. What does a clear intention mean? Does it mean I'm going to get rich on the Internet? No.

No. Because what does that even mean? What does rich mean? And then I actually still kept working more for a while because I wanted more than that, right? So I was adding to my empire.

That was rich to me. You've got to define what you want, guys. You've got to define it clearly. You've got to describe why you want it. Why do you want a quarter million a month?

Why do you want to build an army in Empower Network? Guys, why do you want to walk arms with us and travel the world together with us and be on the cruises and wear the red lapels at our events and be able to have front row seating on couches while everybody else has to sit back in the sidelines? Why do you want to do these things? Why do you want to be involved with us?

Why do you want to be all in? Why is it that you want to be on the stage in front of 15,000 people? See, I've got a dream, guys. We just had about 3,000 people over in San Diego, and I was sitting in that looking at 3,000 people with Guy Fawkes masks on, you know, the V for Vendetta mask. I was just looking at that kind of gig, and it was the most badass I'd ever seen in my life.

But I looked at that ocean of people, and you know what I saw? I saw in the room the foundations of having 50,000 people in North Carolina. An auditorium. Not just in America. 50,000 people here.

50,000 people in Asia. 50,000 people in Europe. 50,000 people all over the world, guys. Auditoriums full of people where 95% of the room is making money and the rest of them, they're just not all in yet. I saw a vision, guys, of being able to create more wealth than anybody's ever done, because that's our purpose.

That's our purpose, right? So that's the next step in the formula. Now, here's the next part, and this is important. This is ultra important.

It's you. Guys, if we've got a formula, we've got a culture, we've got the systems, we've got everything to support it. You know what the difference is between you and Tony Rush? Tony Rush realized he's in the right place at the right time. He went all in, and maybe he didn't have some of the issues that you've had.

The only thing that's left is you making a decision. The only thing that's left is you. Now, I'm going to tell you after I talk about this here for a second. We're going to talk about you for a sec, and then we're going to go back to... Right?

What's next? The only thing that's left is you. The only thing that's left is you saying, no matter what it takes, no matter the work I have to do for a little while, whatever I've got to do over the next 90 days, it's fine. After that, I'll scale my work back down, but whatever I've got to do, I'm doing it. It's you standing up, looking yourself in the mirror, pulling up your pants the same way that we do, and saying, no matter what it takes, I'm doing it, and I'm going to go all in.

I'm going to take action, and it will be done, period. I'm living my dreams. Folks, that's the difference. Right? The difference is, Tony Rush decided to have a consistent vision, consistent words coming out of his mouth, and he decided to take action, and he knew he was in the right place at the right time.

Right? And he could tell that story for himself. What was the difference between me and you? It was back in 2009. I saw a video online.

There was 1,000 circumstances that had to be aligned, and I was in the right place for me to see that video. Folks, it was a combination. I don't know how that happened exactly. It was like the universe was combining together to get me to have an experience to where I made a decision to go all in, and when I saw that, I knew I was in the right place at the right time. I took massive action.

I took massive action. I did whatever it took, and because I was there, because I was there, not just because I was there, but because I decided from that experience that I'm going to go all out, it only took me 90 days to have 30 conversations. That was another month. Why is Tracy Walker where she's at today? Not because she was in the right place at the right time.

Because she was in the right place at the right time, and she got a phone call with me. I'm not going to tell you exactly what I said because you'll have to go to the next event. And she decided to take action. And she just knew it was the right thing to do. And she didn't just know.

She actually took action. Guys, here's what's going to happen over the next 60 days, over the next 90 days leading up to our next event. Here's what happened last time. Last event, do you know what happened? Exactly what our intention was for the event happened.

Exactly the way that we spoke it. Exactly the way that we wrote it down. And Dave could tell you it's word for word how we said it was going to happen. It happened. And what was the goal?

The goal was, from that first event, we were going to teach people things there that were going to double the room, and we were going to bring back at least double to the next event, and everybody's checks were going to double in the process in 90 days. And you know what? It happened exactly the way that we spoke it. Why? Because that is the way the world works.

You have events, vision, you speak it and you take massive action, and when you do that, guys, and when you're in the right place at the right time and when you decide that you're going to do it, no matter what, it will be done, it happens. It's unbelievable. It's like you have magical powers. And so we said we're going to double the room from what we teach here, and we did. What was our intention at the last event?

Our intention was a little bit bigger than that. Why? Because we see a new vision here. Because we see you. Our intention from this last event?

Simple. Why? Because no one's ever done anything like that. Simple. Because we can.

Because we have the ability to do what nobody else has done. Because we have the ability to have the most successful team ever in network marketing because we're helping people actually make money here. Because we have a culture that's keeping people around. Because we have a culture that systemically helps people progress to the next level. Now to break through, there's a few things that you need.

Now in Costa Rica, we brought people down to this little exclusive gathering. We taught them some things that have never been taught. I was actually talking to Dave Sharp earlier today and I said, man, I wish I had some of this stuff when I got started in my business. We taught things that have never been taught in any seminar you've ever been to in your life. And we recorded them.

Right? Why did we record them? We recorded them so we can show them to everybody. So you guys are going to have the ability to learn what people learned who came down to our retreat. And person after person after person will tell you from that retreat they've never heard any information like that ever in their life.

They've never had an experience like that ever in their life. And they've never seen what they saw at that event. It is our best product that we're releasing here at Empower Network. Right? And here's the power behind it.

You're going to have the ability to earn exotically bigger commissions than you've ever earned in your life from selling that product out there in the marketplace. And we pre-released at our event. And I'm telling you, the combination of what we taught at that event and the release of that product, guys, we are going to have the power and the ability as a team here at Empower Network. And you can capitalize on it if you move with us. It's not just the people who see the vision, guys.

It's the people who see the vision. They make a decision. They say, no matter what, I'm all in, I'm doing it. So what do I believe is going to happen? This is what I believe is going to happen.

As a disclaimer, I ain't a prophet, right? And what I believe is going to happen has no bearing on how much money you're going to make, because you have the bearing on how much money you're going to make, right? Look at our income disclosure. We disclose everywhere because we want you to know that it's up to you. You don't make money doing nothing here at Empower Network unless you've got a big team, which you get by putting a lot of people in and doing whatever it takes.

And then you can make money doing nothing because your team's working and producing. In the meantime, take some action. It's up to you. Here's what I believe is going to happen, though. I believe.

I believe it'll happen. I believe, guys, that we are going to have the most successful team that we've ever had in network marketing. Why? Well, here's why. Because I was sitting there after about a year and a half.

This is back in 2010, I think, or 2011, maybe early. I think it was early 2011. Yeah, it was early. It was around April of 2011. April of 2011.

Oh, wait. No. Yeah, April of 2011. I'm going to get my dates mixed up in my head. And I was sitting there.

I was wondering why my income wasn't going up. I was wondering why my income wasn't going up. And I was sitting there. I was walking through the woods just a little frustrated because I was making a lot of money, but my income had kind of got stuck. You ever been there where you just felt like you're just not progressing?

My income had gotten stuck, right? So here's what happened. I was walking through the woods frustrated, thinking a lot. Now, I don't know if you guys have ever been to a point in your life where you've had a moment of inspiration that just changed everything? Well, how does a moment of inspiration happen?

It happens through a process that you have to go through to have inspiration. Most people don't realize that in order to have inspiration, you actually have to be confused or frustrated beforehand. Most people think that you have to feel peaceful to have inspiration. The fact is, unless you're confused and asking questions, you actually cannot have inspiration. Inspiration is a byproduct of being confused, asking questions, and focusing your intention.

It's how your brain works, right? So I allow myself to get confused and frustrated from time to time so I can ask the right questions to have breakthroughs, because you've got to be confused to have breakthroughs. It's one of these weird things in the way the brain works. Don't resist being in a place, guys, where you allow yourself to be confused for a moment. It's okay.

I was confused because I was like, my income should be growing, what's wrong? And I started asking and asking and asking. I was walking through the mountains thinking and thinking and thinking, and I had a moment of inspiration where this idea for a company downloaded into my brain, and I said, that will work. So I tried it. Here's what it was.

I decided on a whim to sell a product that was $3,500. Right? I decided on a whim to try it, to just see if it would work. I just wanted to see if I could get on a webinar and people would buy it without me picking up the phone, because I've been able to sell everything else without picking up the phone. A lot of you guys don't realize people in Empower Network actually buy all the products.

They actually pull out their credit card and buy all the products without phone calls. So people aren't used to that. They're used to having to hammer people to death to get them to buy stuff. Well, in Empower Network, guys, we embedded the psychology we've been using for years where we've been selling stuff for $1,000 with zero phone calls at all. It's unbelievable to people who've never been around anything like it.

They say, how do you do this? And I say, it doesn't matter. Just send people into the funnel, and we're going to keep selling and selling for you, and we're going to help you make as much money as you could possibly make, because I know that if I help you create more success than you've ever created in your life, here's what I know. I know that if I help you create more success than you've ever created ever in your entire life, you're going to stick around and create more success to lift us all up, because a rising tide lifts all ships at sea. And I know that's the way that it works because I think in terms of abundance, not scarcity. I think in terms that I want to give to you the power that I've got, because if I give you the power that I've got, if I hand it over to you and I say, I believe in a world of abundance and I believe that there's more than enough for me, if I do that, then I can make more too, my family's going to be fine. My goal is to help lift you up because in lifting you up, I'll have whatever I want to have.

That's my vision. So I decided to sell this $3,500 product, first at an event and then at a live stream. And you know what happened? First time ever. I just needed to have access to that and access to bigger money.

And I saw that and I said, I'm going to help people get rich. I know how to do it now. That was the foundation of Empower Network. Guys, I'm telling you something. We are going to give you the power to create breakthroughs that you've never created before.

We are going to give it the ability to you to do things that you've never done. And what's the formula for you? It's to listen, and I want you to do that for once in your life. I want you to scratch off what other bullshit you've listened to in the past. I want you to scratch off the things from the old school things.

I want you to scratch off the things from the previous marketing deals. I want you to just delete it from your brain just for a second and focus on my words for a moment. I want you to actually do what we teach. I want you to take notes on it and actually go and do it and apply it and do it in your business, and maybe you can do that right now. Maybe you can start making money for the first time in your life.

I want you to actually do what we teach. Some people say, Dave, how do I do that? Well, first go through the fast start videos. Second, buy all the products. Start going through the products as you go and do what we say in them.

Folks, do what we say here. It's simple. There is no secret that we're holding back from you. You say, Dave, okay, I hear you. But you know what, guys?

And by the way, just affiliate money. It's not including company. That's not company stuff. Right? That's just our affiliate incomes here.

So you say, okay, Dave, I know you're doing it. I know you're doing all this stuff, you know, but where's the secret? Okay, here's the secret. I send people to the video that every single one of you can send people to, that's been behind the capture page, and I just keep doing it. And you say, okay, Dave, what's the super secret video?

Well, that one. The one that everybody here has access to if you just send people to that video. I send people to the same exact video every single day that you have on all your blogs. If there's a secret, it's that. Send more people to the video.

You say, Dave, I'm not getting results doing that. Well, that's probably because you only sent one person there. Send more until you're getting two sign-ups a day. Why do I say two sign-ups a day? Because two a day is easy.

Two a day is easy. Two a day is accessible to everybody. I got two sign-ups a day just from blogging my first 45 days on the internet, selling bullshit with a bad presentation. How did I do it? I did it by sending traffic.

Just do it. Just decide to do it. And I'm just telling you guys that's what you're going to have the ability to do. I want you to imagine for a second. I want you to imagine for a second.

Now, some of you guys were at our event in Boston, in San Diego, right, where we talked about this, and you guys kind of know that everybody here is under non-disclosures and stuff like that. So a lot of the rest of the people in Empower haven't heard about it. Here's what this gives you the ability to do. Here's what it gives you the ability to do.

One sale a day. You say, Dave, how do I get a sale a day of that? Well, it's real simple. First, you get two a day of the 25. We're going to sell it for you.

Here's the thing that I want you to understand. We released the $1,000 product. It doubled everyone's incomes. You say, how did that double everybody's incomes? We got continuity.

We got all this stuff because of two factors. People aren't doing anything to sell it. We're doing the sale. In other words, people are just sending people into the video, right? People are just sending people into the video, and people are just buying, and then they keep buying our other products and they keep learning.

They keep getting better and they keep evolving because the products are actually good, because the products actually do—we actually do what's in the products, that's how we build our businesses—and then we just started selling a $1,000 product in addition to a $500 one. When we did that, everybody's income doubled. How? By just sending people to the original video, and we do the rest because we are doing the selling for that product. That's part of it.

Now, guys, what's going to be the difference with the $3,000 product? Here's what it's going to do. It's going to do, without any other increase in Empower Network, it will double all of the people's incomes who are working. That's what it's going to do. Now, we'll watch and see what it actually does over the course of the next month.

I believe it will be a lot more than that this month. That's what it's going to be able to do. It's going to be able to double the income. I want you to think about this for a second. By the way, guys, there's no hard close here on the call, so you can stick around and put your credit card away because it's not available for everybody in Empower Network yet.

Now, when you do, I want you to think about this here for a second. Think about that for a second. There's a bonus video that I did in the Costa Rica Mastermind Intensive. Hopefully, everybody in this call is all in Empower Network. Hopefully, everybody in the call is all in.

You've made a decision to get all in. Hopefully, you guys have decided that you're going to take action on being in the right place at the right time, on that feeling that you've had here, the different kind of energy that you've had here. Hopefully, you guys have been taking action, and you realize what you've got. Hopefully, you've been doing that, right? I want you to just imagine what it's going to do for you.

Then, here's what I want you to do. Add $2,000 to it. Here's what it did for me. I added a commission by selling my own stuff years ago. Now, I haven't done this in a long time.

Here's what it did for me. What does it do? It gives you the ability to tap into massive financial resources quickly.

There will be people who are in Empower Network who, over the course of the next week, will make a decision. Maybe you. And you'll take massive action. You'll learn what's actually in that course. Guys, you will learn stuff from this, and you will apply it in your business, and there will be people on this call who will literally, because you made a decision, because you made a decision, I'm telling you something.

There's somebody who'll do it. Why? I'm going to tell you a couple stories here real quick, and some concepts, guys. And these concepts are breakthrough concepts. These concepts are what drives prosperity.

There's several aspects to getting yourself to do what you know you need to do, right, to build your business. There's several things that you need to do in order to make it so you're going to do what it takes in your business to get the results you want. What's one of them? One of them is just deciding that you are going to hit whatever your intention is no matter what it takes. You set a very clear intention for how much you want to earn, for why you want to earn it, for what needs to be in place for you to earn it, and you go after it following the game plan that actually works, which we give you with clarity in the Fast Start Training.

If you go through those eight videos in the Fast Start Training, we give you the game plan there. You also need to do what it says in there, right, which includes buying all the products. There's two reasons why you need to buy all the products. You need to buy all the products, guys. First reason is, I'm just going to tell you straight up, is because psychologically there's an impediment to selling stuff that you haven't bought.

Psychologically, you're going to have issues that wouldn't be there, that would just dissolve if you made a decision to buy, even if it puts you a little bit on the line. How do I know? I know because I've been there. I've been poor. I've gotten what I need to get anyway.

It made a massive difference when I did. I was in a place once where I was in a business and I wasn't all in on the products. I had absolutely no money to buy any of the products that I needed to buy. I was supposed to buy them anyways. I didn't know how I'd come up with it, but I said, I'm going to make a decision and do it.

Because I made that decision, all of a sudden, my entire business changed. All of a sudden, I was able to sell things that I couldn't sell the previous day because my belief level changed, because I made the decision I was asking other people to make. There's a psychological reason why it's good to do that. There's a story at the event from a guy named Jeff Buchanan who's in Empower Network. He's been in internet marketing for several years.

One day, I'll bring him out, and he can tell a story where he had been in the internet for several years and had never bought any of the things he needed to buy. He just never made any money. Then one day, he needed to buy something and he felt like he needed to buy it. He sold his car to buy it.

He sold his car. I think it was like $1,500. He took that $1,500 and he wasted it on advertising that didn't work. He told me, though, he was in the top 25 leaders in the last contest, and he was just marketing Empower on the side. Now, he's kind of all in.

He told me at this last thing we were hanging out, he said, something in my brain changed when I let go of that money, when I let go of the car. Something in his mind changed. His mindset shifted when he let go of control over the money. He didn't have a lot of money, guys. He didn't have fortune.

He said, even though all the money was wasted on the internet, four months later—I can't remember what his numbers were, but I know that's true, because it's the same thing that happened to me. I decided to go all in. I know it's true because the same thing happened to Dave Sharp. He decided to go all in when he got on the internet.

On a whim, one day he woke up and he said, I'm going full time now. He just started working his ass off. You know what happened? About a year later, he and I started Empower Network together. Before that, he was making multiple five-figure income every single month when we started Empower Network.

He started Empower Network, and you know what, folks? I couldn't have done this without Dave, and that's why we are where we are, because Dave made a decision that he's going to go all in. You know when he made that decision to go all in, he wasn't making any money at all. He just decided, I'm going to go all in. I'm going to start working my ass off, and I'm going to get the results that I want.

I'm quitting my job. He left his construction job to start working his ass off, and you know what? It was only a few months later he had his first five-figure month. I know that when you make a decision that puts yourself on the line, something in your brain shifts and changes that needs to happen in order for you to have the success that you want. Some of you are just putting yourself on the line.

Some of you guys mean parting with a little bit of money that you're scared to part with, right? And that's okay. I was scared. Folks, I was so nervous when I got started in online marketing because I'd failed so many times in the past, but you know what? I decided that I was going to do it no matter what.

I wasn't going to take any excuses for myself. Here's what happened to me because I decided that I wasn't going to take any excuses for myself. My brain did not allow me from that day ever again to take excuses from another man or woman, because I did it from a van, and if I could do it from a van, and if I could make the decisions that I made and I could come up with the money that I needed to do it from a van, no one could ever tell me, Dave, I can't make this happen. Now in Empower Network, folks, nobody can ever give me an excuse for failure in Empower Network.

Why? Because the banks shut us down twice. We lost money for two months. I know that when I made a decision to put myself on the line, to go all in, something emotionally, guys, emotionally, to put it out there, there's something magical that happens. Something magical that happens, and I know that will happen for you, whatever that is.

Some of you guys, it's just going full time. Some of you guys need to make a decision to just go full time like Dave did. Now I'm not going to suggest that you do that because everybody here is in different situations and not everybody should do that. Lawrence wasn't in that situation when he got started, and he did this entirely part time. Some of you guys, though, are holding on to your job, and you're holding on to a tiny paycheck that could be replaced in three weeks if you work your ass off, and you're resisting doing it, and you know you need to do it.

Some of you guys need to do it and you need to make that decision. Some of you guys just need to decide to buy all the products and just do it. Some of you need to decide to do it. Some of you guys need to buy the master's course. Now what I want to do is I'm going to spend three minutes here and I'm going to teach you guys a process.

I'm going to teach you a process. I want you to take notes on this, and there's a reason why I want you to take notes on this. If you take notes on this, you'll be able to do it exactly how I say to do it, and it will work for you and it will work every time. If you don't take notes on it, you won't get that result. It's a good thing to be able to take notes.

We're going to put this up in the members area as well, and it will replay every few days for the next few days. Now first of all, what I want to do is I want you to realize, especially if you've got a team, people in your team will buy this $3,000 product with or without you. Just realize that, and it's okay if you missed some commissions in the beginning because those will go to the next qualified sponsor. It's not a big deal. Now I want to teach you guys how to access financial resources that you don't have.

Now some of this is going to be for people who just need to upgrade to the $500 product to cross over that emotional barrier. Some of you, that's all you need to do, you just need to upgrade and decide to buy. Some of you guys need to buy all the products we've got, and some of you guys need to invest money into advertising that you don't have because you're part time, and you need to put yourself out there a little bit, and I'm telling you guys there's nothing more powerful than putting yourself out there a little bit. There's nothing more powerful than doing it, and what I want you to do, I'm going to teach you a process that has worked 100% of the time, and this is a process that I used to actually overcome the no money objection when I was actually talking to people on the phone closing people into my businesses, and guys, this process worked with people where it didn't make sense. I talked to people who literally had no money, no access to money anywhere in their life, they had no credit cards, and I ran them through this process, and they were able to come up with financial resources in three days doing nothing illegal, which is part of the process—you've got to do things that are ethical and honest to make this work.

Now this is amazing how well it works, and if you guys understand this and you understand the power of this, you understand the power in making a decision, you understand the power in accessing belief, you understand the power in putting yourself on the line a little bit, you cross over an emotional bridge that nothing else can make you cross over. I remember what it felt like to cross over that bridge, and I knew from that moment that it would happen for me, and it did. Right? So how do you do it? Well first of all I want everybody here to realize something, right? I want everybody here to realize something, no matter who invited you or no matter where you are in the world, that people who are rich think differently from people that are poor. Let me repeat that again: people who are rich think differently from people that are poor. Most rich people didn't start rich. I didn't start rich. Dave Sharp didn't start rich, and Raskin didn't start rich, you know what I'm saying?

Tony Rush didn't start rich. You should have heard his story at the last event, he had an unbelievable story over the next year, I didn't even know, right? We had Kevin and Melissa connect at the last event, who literally three months before, three months before, they were in bankruptcy, and at that last event in San Diego they had $35,000 in their checking account that they had generated from scratch in addition to all their expenses, guys, in three months from bankruptcy, right? There is a difference in the way rich people think from the way poor people think, and it doesn't start when they're rich, it starts when they don't have resources. Here's the difference. Let me ask you guys a question here, who are on the call, and the reason I'm doing this, guys, is because I want to teach you how to think like a billionaire for the rest of your life. I want to teach you how to have access to power. This isn't just good for Empower Network, if you ever need to come up with resources in your life, if you ever need resources you don't have access to ever in your life, if you ever need to be able to come up with money for a down payment on a house, or you need to be able to come up with money to be able to get education somewhere, or you need to be able to come up with money to be able to create a business that's just in your brain that doesn't even exist yet, that doesn't exist in the world, or you need access to programmers, you need access to employees, you can use this same process to come up with the resources of whatever you want in your life, and I'm telling you guys to do it. So pull out a pen. First thing I want you to write down: difference between the rich and the poor. Let me ask you a question, everybody here should be familiar with Richard Branson or Donald Trump or some billionaire out there. Now if, let's say Donald Trump for example, needs a billion dollars to build a hotel, right, he needs a billion dollars and he's only got a hundred million, right, what's the difference between him and you if you only had a hundred bucks and you needed a thousand? Nothing—the difference is the same, the ratio is the same. He has access to a little bit more resources than you, and the ratio is the same, he doesn't have access and he needs access, right? What's the difference though between a rich person and a poor person? Somehow the rich guy comes up with it. Somehow Donald Trump will go get nine hundred million dollars, he'll do it every single time and he'll never not get it, he'll get it every single time. You think if Richard Branson needed a billion dollars to start a new company, do you think he would ever think that it wasn't possible? No, you'd get it every single time. He'd say, I don't have the money, I'm going to get it. How do they do that? They do that by thinking differently, and that's the thing that I want you to realize, guys, is if you learn to think like rich people, okay, this is the first key, if you learn to think like rich people—which is where it starts, it starts when they don't have the resources they want—if you learn to think like rich people, there will be no difference at all between you and them, maybe time. So here's the process. The process is first envisioning the result that you want in a clear way, so let's teach that to you guys just here for a second. I want you guys to listen to this five times if you need to, get it right if you're driving around your car and you're walking around. I want to teach you how to come up with access to resources, okay, and here is what I want you to write, and write this down exactly as I say it because I'm going to have you guys read it out loud, and some of you guys are going to do it and some of you guys aren't, and the ones who aren't, I can't promise you're going to get any sort of results, right, but those of you who do it, every single person that I've done this with who has actually done the process—and I've run people through it on the phone where it made no sense—has come up with the money to do whatever they wanted to do, right, and I've done it and it's amazing. I've had people come up with thousands of dollars in three days who had absolutely nothing, to do something they needed to do, and because of that they had a breakthrough, and it's unbelievable, guys, how consistently this has worked, okay, and I promise you every time I've done it with somebody, it's worked the exact same way every time, and you guys can use this when you're on the phone with people. If people are saying I don't have money to buy the thousand dollar product, if I don't have money to buy the Costa Rica Masters course, you can use this process, or get them to listen to this audio, it'll be in the inner circle as well after playing there for a few days as the audio of the week, guys. You can use this process with people. If you listen to what I'm saying, you can have them listen to this audio, and I'm telling you, you will be amazed at the people who make decisions and come up with financial resources. You'll be amazed at how easily you can generate commissions with it. You'll be amazed how a five minute conversation can put three thousand dollars into your bank account if you learn to master this process. So don't just do it for you. I want you to do it for the people in your team. I want you to do it so you can learn to access things that you never had access to before in your life. So here's what I want you to write down, you need to write it down exactly as I say it, so because of that I'm going to repeat it two or three times. Write this down: "I, [insert your full name], am sitting in front of my computer, and I just successfully processed my order for the master's course in Empower Network. I can feel the wind on my face in the house from the fans blowing. I can feel the carpet on my feet, and I'm looking in my back office as I hit submit. The date is—" and by the way guys, the more clearly you describe that, the better. But you don't need to put that sentence in there. The date is—and here's what I want you guys to put, okay, I want you guys to put whatever the date on Thursday is. I actually don't know what date it is, I think it's the 4th, right, so write whatever the date on Thursday is. So: "The date is October 4th, Thursday, at 8 o'clock p.m. I've just successfully processed my order for the Costa Rica Masters course, hitting the submit button for $3,500, and looking back over the last three days I can feel the fan wind blowing on my face, my feet are sinking into the carpet in my living room, I feel excited, I feel peaceful, I can't believe how easy it was to come up with $3,500, it was so easy, it was unbelievable, this is how I did it." Now write it down, something very close to that, present tense, a specific date in the future, a specific time of the day, you're sitting in front of your computer, you just processed your order and you just did it. Now here's what I want you to do, I'm going to pause for a moment, and I want you to look at that statement, and I want you to read it out loud three times, and as you're reading it I want you to visualize it, and you can add more clarity to it—describe the things around your room, the more you see it. For example, in my house, guys, I got these sexy little lights on the wall with these pictures of tropical birds, and my house is kind of shaped like this giant octagon or something, and there's frogs singing in the background, maybe some of you guys can hear them, and there's fans blowing all over the house, blowing this kind of gentle tropical wind over my face, the air smells tropical, I'm looking out over kind of a midnight ocean, I can see the ocean off in the background, there's a little blinking light outside. The more vivid it is, the more powerful it is, okay. So here's what I'm going to do, I'm going to repeat it one more time, and then I'm going to have you repeat it out loud three times: "I'm [name, insert your own], I'm sitting in front of my computer on October 4th, 2012, it's 8 o'clock p.m." Some rich people come from rich families.

I want you to realize that most rich people started with nothing and they just made different decisions than you. And realizing that, you can make a different decision right now as you look into the future. What I want you to do, guys, is looking into the future, I want you to make a new decision. I want you to make a decision that you're going to do whatever it takes. I want you to make a decision that you are in the right place at the right time.

I want you to make a decision that you finally do the things that you need to do. I want you to make a decision that your time for success, it's not just now, guys. I want you to realize something, standing into this moment, looking into the future, the decision you make right now in your life, the decision you make right now in your life to go the direction you want to go, that decision will change all of the events. It's like you can look into the past and you can see the past folding, and you can see things coming into place. You can see relationships bringing you up to this call, the million things that you need to do to be on the call with us now.

Just like that, there's going to be events, there's going to be decisions that stretch all the way down through your timeline, however far that goes, guys, and those things are going to come together at the exact right place at the exact right time to fulfill whatever intention you set, because for whatever reason, it's how the universe works. I don't know how it is, but whatever you see in the future tends to come together exactly the way that you see it. So here's what I want you to do. I want you to make a decision that you're going to hit your intention in the future. I want you to step into a few days, and I want you to imagine yourself involved with us in the master's course and making a decision not only that you're going to run with us.

I want you to step four days in the future, three days, or whatever it is on the calendar. I want you to do that on Thursday night because that's when we'll open it up on the website for everyone, right? I want you to imagine yourself placing your order. I want you to imagine yourself making a decision to be all in, and then I want you to look out, and I want you to project yourself into the event in Austin, Texas. I want you to step forward, float above your timeline for a second.

I want you to step into the future. I want you to stand there in the room with us, seeing the sea of people's faces roaring and chanting, 100% commission, 100% commissions. I want you to visualize the event. If you were at the San Diego event, visualize twice the crowd with us as you step into the future, and that's not just the important thing. I want you to visualize yourself in the room with at least 50 people in your team in the room with you.

She got 50 people at the last event. She got 100 people at the San Diego event. Guys, I want you to see yourself there with a group of 50 people sitting with you, and I want you guys to be chanting with us, 100% commission, 100% commission, 100% commission. I want you to look into your bank account at that time. I want you to look at the deposits that are coming into your bank account.

I want you to look at that moment in your timeline, at that event in Austin, Texas. I want you to visualize with me now. You can set whatever goal that you set. I want you to visualize yourself at that event looking back over the last 30 days.

I want you to visualize yourself seeing $100,000 depositing in your bank account, and now, right now, wherever you are, I don't care if everybody around you thinks you're a weirdo, I want you to stand up. That's it, period.

I want you to say it out loud. What I want you to do, I want you to step further into your future. I want you to step further into your timeline with me for a second. I want you to visualize with me for a second what it would be like to be in a room of 10,000 people in an auditorium chanting 100% commissions, 100% commissions, 100% commissions, 100% commissions. I want you to visualize yourself on that stage right now with me, looking at the auditorium chanting.

You're on stage. You're on the stage with me. You're on the stage with Dave Sharp. You're on the stage with Aaron Raskin. You're on the stage with Tracy Walker, with Tony Rush, with Matt Zidem, with Chuck Marshall.

And just visualize what it feels like to describe that as you speak to the audience. Now what I want you to do is I want you to step three months into the future. I want you to imagine with me for a second. $20,000. We're in a room where almost all the room is making money.

And I want you to see yourself there on stage looking out over the sea of faces. I want you to see 1,000 people in your team in that room. And when I say, who's on your team, and they chant, there's a roar that shakes the room. And I want you to visualize having the ability to travel where you want to travel, to go where you want to go.

I want you to visualize what it would be like for me to ask you on stage, let me ask you, Tony Rush, how did you get to a quarter of a million a month? And you say, it's easy. Just followed the eight core steps, got all in, got my team to do the same, got them to the next event. Guys, see it. See it.

Just go ahead and release those memories into your future. Just come back to the present here for a second and make a new decision. And then look out and see the events coming into your future together with you to make a new decision, that everything's coming together in the exact way that you want it to come together. And now, you're in power to do whatever you want to do in life.

Just decide to do it. Now, it's time to take massive action. Don't let yourself make a decision any other moment than now. Make a decision now. Tony Rush, "I'll do it in the future"—

Do it right now. Do it right now, guys. Make a decision now, and let those events come together, and press forward and do whatever you've got to do. Let's make it happen. Now, I'm going to bring out some people.

I've been talking for a long time, so I figured we'll bring out some people and just let you guys go. Dave, who'd you bring on? Yeah, hey, brother. I think we've got Tony.

Tony, you on the call, brother? I am right here, bro. Hey, Tony, was that some royal badassery or what? I love that.

It's awesome. And you look at solid gold. I think I can kind of feel the vibe. I feel like there were a lot of people in the line that actually executed that, too.

They didn't just listen. They're not going to be weenies and just sit and listen to instructions. I think they actually did it. They did. And the breakthrough that's happening, and people feel it.

You know, you remember, Tony, and we could go back when you actually made the decision to do this, and just kind of how easy it was after that. You remember that? Yeah. There's a difference that happens when you realize that you're in the right place at the right time. Just real quick, man, just want to grab your thoughts just on tonight's call.

I mean, I'm excited because the people who actually did it, they're going to do it. I mean, that's why I'm excited, because they actually have the ability to do it. What are your thoughts, man? What did you make last month? You know what?

I just looked at the numbers today. I think it was like 52 is what I wound up doing in September. Oh, man, it's just gangster, man. I just don't know. Oh, God, no.

Oh, Lord, no, no. And here's what comes up for me on this whole thing. I think a lot of times when people, if they're not really mentally all in and they come to a call like this, and they're sort of, you know, still got one, they're the toe in the water people. You know, they're standing on the edge of the pool. They see everybody in the pool having a ball, and they want to be in the pool.

They want to have a ball. They want to be jumping off the high dive, and they're doing all that, but they're letting the past. There's some baggage or some limiting belief holding them back, so they find themselves in a very uncomfortable position over and over and over in life, which is this weird half crouch where they've got one foot on the edge of the pool, and the other one, they're sticking their toe in the water. If you've ever done that for any length of time, it's actually hard to do that for any serious length of time, but it's a position that I think a lot of people find themselves in, and not just in the area of money, but especially in the area of money.

They see people living the life that they want to live, and yet, for some reason, if I can switch analogies for just a second, they're driving a car where they've got the gas pedal pushed all the way down, but they've got the other foot just hard on the brake. And the funny thing is that those people, when they listen to a conversation like what you've laid out here tonight, some of that old monkey chatter comes in, and they start thinking, well, maybe they're just trying to convince me to buy something. But the truth is, people already know what they want to do. And you said that just a moment ago. People already know what they want to do.

And conversations like this one really just create the space for people to do what it is they already want to do. There's really not a whole lot that I don't think we can do to get somebody to do something. But what we can do is be living, breathing examples of what happens when you choose to play big in life. And that was the breakthrough for me. Yeah.

I spent a lot of years crouching by the swimming pool, seeing people in the pool having a ball, and I was sort of in that weird no-man's land of I want to be in, but I want to stand on the side of the pool, too. And when you finally get it, all the juice, all the rewards in life, all the fun, all the breakthroughs come from this just letting go thing, letting go of all the reasons why to stay stuck. And I think when you do that, and you actually are in the pool, when you're actually living the life, when you're standing here earning over half a million dollars a year after only ten months, you look back and it's so relaxing. And you realize just how much energy you used to spend on staying stuck.

It's the craziest thing. Well, yeah, man. I mean, that's it. I look back at the decision I made back in 2009 when I had nothing, you know. And I made a decision that I was going to do it.

It was going to happen. It was going to come into place no matter what. And I went out in this massive frenzy and just did whatever I had to do. And then I look back when I moved to Costa Rica. I got into that house, you know.

I had that little house on the beach when I first moved down. It was a cheap house. It was hilarious. But I was sitting there doing webinars and pacing back and forth while these huge lizards were running around in my yard and monkeys were throwing coconuts at me. I was sitting there, and I stood back one night.

I looked in the past, and I was like, holy shit. Literally, this is like doing nothing. I'm just in the flow all the time. And it all came from a moment about, at the time it was maybe 120 days earlier, when I was sitting there. And I was about ready to quit.

I mean, I was right there. I was burnt out. And nothing was working. It didn't feel like it was working. I was curled up next to my wife.

And, you know, I remember saying, I was like, I think I'm going to quit. And she said, don't quit. She says, is this your dream? I said, yeah. She says, look, if you want to take a break, you take a break if you want to.

But don't ever give up on your dreams. It's not why I married you, you know. She said something along those lines. And tears were streaming down my face. And I just said, I'm doing this shit no matter what.

And it was 90 days later. It was my first $30,000 month. I mean, it was that fast. It was like an instant. And that decision, it was like it was all easy.

So, yeah. Tony, thanks. I'm just saying, I would not be at all surprised, and that's the intention. And certainly, as we roll into the last 90 days of the year—I think the last 80 days of the year—the cool thing is that there's still all the time in the world for anybody who just got started today to actually take these last 80-something days and actually make 2012 the best year of their life.

And it's a beautiful thing. Hey, thanks for letting me jump out, man. Hey, thanks for coming out, brother. Appreciate you. All right.

Aaron Raskin, you still on the call, man? I don't know if he's still on. He emailed me a minute ago. You guys hear me?

Oh, yeah, dude. Hey, great to have you on, brother. What did you think of the call tonight, by the way? Oh, man. I'm just sitting in my office just taking notes.

I'll tell you what, guys. I just pulled out the piece of paper that you had us write down at the Papagayo, the Hilton Papagayo in Costa Rica back in August. And I was looking at my goals, and it's pretty cool. I'm going to upload it to Facebook. Now, I said that I was going to work for two hours.

Can you guys hear me? Yeah, I can hear you. Hey, just so you know, Dave Sharp, I need to take off on the call. I need you to take over after Aaron Raskin is done talking here. Yeah, I'm getting terrible echoes, so I'm not sure if you guys are able to hear.

I don't know if you can hear me or not. I said that I would work for two hours. And I just pulled this piece of paper out and took a picture of it to upload to Facebook, and it's just the power of the goal. You know, I only actually worked about one hour for the entire, you know, 90 days that we set these goals for. And, you know, I looked at our check.

And it just shows me, you know, it reinforces the power of a goal. Now, I didn't work the amount of time that I said I would. I said I would work for two hours a day. Now, that doesn't mean that's the, you know, the be-all, end-all. But the point is, is that when you set your goal, and you set your intention, and I overstated my goal.

And by writing the goal down and keeping it on my desk, and when you see the picture on Facebook, you'll see it's pretty wrinkled and shriveled up. You know, I stared at that goal every day, and I knew that if I just did a little bit each day, because I know it's not what we do that makes us successful, but what we do consistently. And by doing a little bit each day, you know, doing our marketing, doing our advertising, reaching out and connecting with our list, building a list, driving traffic, sending broadcasts, promoting the calls, using other people's swipe copy, using other people's written words, and driving people into your funnel, Dave, I knew it was just a matter of doing the work repeated over time that would get us there. And I see that happening with our team.

I see that happening with so many members in the Empower Network. And what you guys just did on this call, I actually did the exercise sitting in my office listening to my kids play out in the living room. And I did it because I know that by doing that, by writing down these goals, by visualizing what's possible, by putting it into a written format where I can see it and visualize it every single day, I know that I'll be able to play with my kids every day for the rest of my life, for the rest of their lives, without ever having a job. And that's why I do what I do.

That's why I know Sophia does what she does. And this call was just amazing. And I'm so excited to see the people in Austin, nearly 4,000 people coming out to this event with their goals not just met but exceeded. And the stories that are going to come out of what goes on here over the next 90 days are just going to take this company, take this—we've actually said this several times, but Empower Network has breathed a whole new breath of fresh air into our profession. I'm not even going to call it an industry because it's a profession, and you guys have raised the bar.

You have taken it to a whole new level, and I've never seen so many people so excited, not just because of the culture and because of the product line and the training and the camaraderie and the friendships and the hundred percent commissions, but nothing speaks louder to this entire industry and to our profession than the fact that you guys, as owners, Dave and Dave, you allow us to make just as much money and even more than you as the company owners. And we, as members of the company, have the same opportunity, and there's nothing that speaks louder to the fact that we are so safe with you guys, not pitching every product launch, not pitching every new gimmick that comes down the internet highway to try to make an extra buck off of a huge database of well over a million leads that you guys have created in the last 10 months. And that's why Sophia and I have planted our flag here. So when you ask how I feel about the call tonight, this call was exactly what I was looking for and what I required to help take our team and their business to a whole new level.

Because as we talked about in San Diego, the speed of the team moves at the speed of the leader, and you've always got to be out in front leading your team. No matter if you're brand new, you just got started tonight, you got started last week, last month, we've been here for 9 or 10 months, you always want to be leading by example, because the only thing that we actually owe our members is to be an example of success.

So, that being said, Dave, I know you jumped off the line, but Dave Sharp, I think you're still with us. So I'll pass it back over to you, my friend. Yeah, yeah, Dave Sharp here. Hey, brother. And I'll tell you what, man, you're an example of success.

And I just, you know, I'll tell you what, I've said this before, I'll say it again. A guy like you and your wife, Sophia, to have you guys on board just shows me that we're in the right place at the right time. And you guys, you see the vision. It's just, it speaks volumes.

So just your presence here, not only the fact that you were on stage getting a check for—I don't even know what it was, some ungodly amount—and you've done the type of income that you've done since you've been here, it's not just that, it's just your pure presence here. You guys believe in us, it just speaks volumes, and I appreciate you guys. And we appreciate you too. I know I speak for Sophia as well.

Dave, we love you guys. I love you too. Hey, Chris Record, you're on the call. I am, Dave. Hey guys, listen, we've got a few more minutes here.

Here's what I want you to do. I want you to plug in. I want you to listen very, very closely to what these last couple of guests are going to say. And I'm actually going to have some action steps for you here at the end of the call. We're going to be here just for a few more minutes.

So I want you to put your seatbelt on, buckle in, hang in there, because this is the most important part of the call, listening here to the follow through and the action plan. Chris, you've been in the industry, you're selling all kinds of things. And when I say all kinds of things, I mean all kinds of different price points. Give me your perspective.

For those of you who don't know Chris, he's kind of a behind the scenes gangster who's been killing it in Empower. He was in, I think he was five or six in the competition that we just ran. He was on stage. He killed it on stage. He delivered a message of inspiration and hope from his story and exactly what he's done to be able to get success and have massive, massive success over the course of the last, I don't know, however long you've been involved.

I think it's been five or six months. I just wanted to get your perspective and a nutshell of what you think is going to happen once we release the master's course. Yeah, no problem, Dave. And I just got to say, so far, this has been one of my favorite calls period since I've been in the company. I've received probably a dozen or so text messages, at least, just people texting me out of the blue saying this is the craziest, best call ever.

I can't wait for the recording so I can listen to it again. So we're just lit up on fire right now. Yeah, I don't, I'll be brief too, because I know it's late in the call, but there's a lot of parallels to what's going on here with the launch of this new product, with what Empower Network is going through and a previous experience for me. So if there's anybody I can relate to on the phone, if anybody on this call is listening and you want this thing bad—I mean you want it bad, but maybe your financial situation, you're just not in a place where you could pull out a check and write a check, or you just don't have it on your credit card, maybe you just don't see that you can borrow it from friends.

If you're in that place right now, let me just see if I can relate to you for a minute, because I had this exact opportunity happen to me back in 2006. What had happened, the short version of it, was me and my girlfriend at the time—she's my wife now—we had hit rock bottom.

You know, we had some ups, we had some downs, but we had hit rock bottom. And basically we were getting evicted from our small little apartment. We were in that week, we're getting evicted, right? You think that's bad?

Well, we also got rear ended in a car accident. Our car ended up being a total loss. I ended up with whiplash because of how it went down, and I couldn't even drive for a couple of weeks. In fact, it was so humiliating, I'd wake up in the morning and my girlfriend had to dress me because I just really couldn't get my body together to be able to even do it.

And it gets a little bit worse. You know, when I say rock bottom, I mean our bank account went negative. We were negative by at least a couple hundred dollars. I couldn't get a loan because my credit was 485. That was my credit; my wife's was just around the same.

I mean, things were pretty bad. We were getting ready to move back home, try to go back and live with our parents. And I had almost accepted defeat. I was at that sort of place. And I know Dave Sharp can relate to this, but I've heard his story a lot.

I was right there at that moment where things were just going bad for me. And I don't know if anybody can relate. If you're listening in right now, and you can relate, if you've been in that situation or you're in that situation now where finances is tough, but you just want this thing so bad, that's exactly how it was for me.

That same exact moment in my life is when I came across a top tier direct sales opportunity. We went to a meeting, we heard the speaker. There was a phenomenal opportunity where we could make some money, but guess what the buy-in was. It was $20,000. So here I was getting ready to get evicted from an apartment with a negative bank account.

Can't get a loan anywhere. And it's a $20,000 decision that was sitting in front of me, and I literally went through a very similar experience to what David put out on a call today, which was I put it out there to the universe. I put the intention out there, and I made a decision right then and there in my small little tiny apartment that we were just hanging on to, hoping that they don't come take us out of there. And I just made a decision. You know what?

It's possible. So there's one thing that really changed for me, which was I used to be the kind of person that said, I can't, I can't afford this, I can't do that, I can't get a loan, I can't come up with the money.

I can't, I can't, I can't. And what kind of success comes from that? I don't think I've met anybody successful that speaks like that. So I decided to change it up. Instead of saying, I can't, I said, how can I? How can I get a loan, or how can I come up with the money?

How can I turn my life around? How can I keep my apartment? How can I get another car? It started being how can I, and the power there is what David was talking about on the call tonight, which was I basically put it in my subconscious, this idea that it's possible. And it was the smallest little seed of belief.

And I'll tell you, I'm gonna be honest, it wasn't a huge one at the time, because times were hard for me, but it was that smallest little seed of belief that I planted, it blossomed and it bloomed. And in just a very short amount of time, I came up with that $20,000. And I went from a negative bank account and a 485 credit score to, my first month in that opportunity, making 16,000, next month 20,000, next month over 30,000. And then a couple months later, over 50,000, then over 70,000 in a single month.

And my whole entire life changed. I went from negative bank account to nearly half a million dollars inside of 12 months, guys, inside of 12 months, because of that decision. Now that company was a company in the past. It was a good opportunity back then. I'm definitely no longer with that.

I don't want to get any emails from anybody, on a hundred percent I'm on board right now with Empower Network as the opportunity that I'm doing. And I'll tell you right now, this same situation is presenting itself here. You've got the opportunity in front of you, like I had, where right now, going all in on this company might be a hefty price tag for some of you, but I want to tell you right now, I truly believe in the bottom of my heart, if you just find it within yourself to say, you know what?

I'm sick and tired of living the same lifestyle, of going through these same problems, of driving the same car, just not having what I want to have, whatever it is, or maybe you just want more time, whatever that is though. You know what? I'm going to make a stand. I'm absolutely going to take a stand, and I'm going to finally take control of my business.

I'm going to go all in because number one, that's the right way to do business, is going all in, being a winner, right? But number two, it's going to position yourself to make the most amount of money. If you're wondering how people like Tony Rush are cranking out these massive months, I guarantee you they're all in. Success leaves clues. They're all in.

So if you're on this call and you can relate to the short story that I just told you about going from being flat broke, not having the money, to making half a million dollars because I just planted that seed of belief, made the decision, took massive action, and came up with the money—what I would encourage you to do is do the same. And remember, it's not just going all in, it's going all in with everything. It's going all in with your activity. It's taking massive action.

It's going all in with your attitude. That means no longer complaining, no more looking at things negatively, no more being a wussy. That means, you know, no handholding, none of that, just going all in on being a leader, on being a winner, on being someone who's gonna be successful in this company.

So Dave, I just want to tell you, I'm lit up, I'm on fire for this company right now. I'm looking forward to Austin. We're actually going to tear it up. We're gonna have a huge team on stage, and the audience there.

And I'll tell you right now, this company has momentum, and I'm proud to say that I'm a part of Empower Network. Hey guys, I just want you to listen to the names and listen to the voices of the leaders, because I can tell you one thing, we've got the single greatest, most powerful group of leaders this industry has ever seen at Empower Network. And you're still on this call link that you were sent either in the email or on Facebook, and get in now.

Chris Record, love you. I'm looking forward to hanging out with your key business partner, Peter Sorensen and Arthur Tubman. Your entire team is all in, and not only are they all in mentally, emotionally, physically, with products, with their heart, with their mind, but they're also all in with their resources. They're actually flying over two, three, fifteen to Singapore with us, and they're going to go and tear it up over there.

Guys, you guys are rock stars, all of you on your team. You guys are bad-ass. I love you. One last person that I want to bring on.

I might bring on two more guys, it's just getting better. I want you to stand up. I want you to start pacing around. I want you to start thinking about what your business is going to be like here in the next week.

As you start commanding $3,000 commissions into your bank account, you start going through the Empower Network Masters course and learning exactly what we revealed. As you continue to see how your business is going to be, as you start to see your business grow, you're going to be able to make a big investment in your business.

There are a lot of people down in Costa Rica in August whose businesses have literally changed—people like Kristen Suess, Beasley, and others—to having massive results. These are just a few people who were down in Costa Rica who literally took what we taught down there and implemented it into their business. Listen, brother, I just want to ask a couple of questions. First, guys, this is Robert Mercado, I believe.

I know just from the sound of your voice, I don't know exactly where you live, but I'm thinking it's up in the northeast. No, I'm here actually in the Bronx, New York, off-city. We're moving up to Florida soon. Of course you are, because you just bought a brand-new house, right? Exactly, exactly.

And I've got to thank Empower Network for that, David. I really appreciate everything you guys have done. So, brother, how old are you? I'm 25 years young right now. 25 years young.

Where were you six months ago, nine months ago, whatever, before you got involved with Empower Network? Well, I'm glad that you asked me that, David, and I appreciate you having me on the call. Just wanted to let you know I'm definitely honored to be on here. And really quick, if you don't mind, I just wanted to mention something that David Wood brought up earlier in the call about belief levels. That's okay, David.

See, we are working here with leaders that do and follow through with the work and what they encourage us to do. See, imagine if David Wood didn't surpass those thoughts that could have prevented Empower Network from existing. And David Sharp, if he hadn't taken the choice to fly to Costa Rica for the retreat David Wood had held there, would Empower be as badass as it is? Absolutely not.

And thank God for Erin, you know, who is David Sharp's girlfriend, great person, for pushing Sharp to go to Costa Rica. And see, a lot of us don't have a partner that is as supportive as we'd like them to be. Some of us don't have a partner. Some of us unfortunately lost a partner. And either way, you want to use that as a reason, use that as motivation to go win for you and your family.

Instead of using it as a reason not to make it, go use that as a reason to win for you and your family. See, there's people on the call that may or may not be in Empower Network already that are asking themselves, can I do this? And I'm here to tell you the answer to that question is yes, you can, guys. There are people on the call that have never made any money online, that made money for the first time online here with Empower Network. There's also people on the call that have made money online, maybe a little bit, maybe a lot, but they're now making lots with Empower Network without making phone calls, without holding hotel meetings, or any of the traditional things you have to do to make money online, and the difference is not only that they are making more money here with Empower, it's easier than ever before.

You know, but you can enjoy your lives doing it. Folks, again, my name is Robert Mercado. I'm 25 years young. I worked at a diner as a delivery boy about six months ago, working 12 hours a day, six, sometimes seven days a week, and I'm completely new to making money online. I delivered across the street from the diner to a medical billing office, and an incredibly beautiful lady by the name of Allie answered the door.

And either the food was that damn good, or I'm just that damn good looking, that she soon after became my wife. I'm just kidding with you guys, but it's funny how life works and everything comes together, like David Sharp and David Wood speak about. I saw the talent that Allie had with her medical billing skills, and I encouraged her to start her own business. She did that, and until today, she works from home doing that. Now I'm still busting my butt, working like a dog, and I got a little jealous because she's working from home, and I'm out at the diner working crazy hours.

So I'm so glad that Empower Network, guys, was something I found early on. It's all history from there. Hey, guys, I don't say that to impress you guys, but I say it to impress upon you that you see the leaders that are on the call, like Tony Rush and Tracy Walker and Chuck Marshall and Lauren Stanton, that are in the company, and sometimes you may say, well, you know what, they had this before, they had that before, and some of them didn't start with anything either, by the way. But use me as confidence, borrow my confidence, someone new to the industry that has had this amount of success.

I mean, I was just saying, with David on the line here, that we purchased a home. That's something new to us. We never had a home. Well, we had a home, of course, but we never had a house that we can actually be like, wow, this is ours. And I just want to let you know, David, that honestly, you've been such an inspiration for me, amongst, I'm sure, millions of people.

But you calling me out on stage at the event, and you mentioning me at the end of the event—inside I had that burning desire that was sitting by the desk working my butt off and saying I'm going to win. I've been with a lot of other companies before, offline marketing and all that, and a lot of other people always recognized, a lot of other people always got all of the awards and stuff like that, and I know I had it in me. And you, by far, David Sharp, God bless you, because you were the one that said, you know what, let's bring him up, let's mention him and expose him.

And, guys, everyone on the call, I just wanted to share my story. Let it inspire you, but not only inspire you, let it allow you to take action. Get started today if you're not already in Empower Network. If you are, you're in the best time possible. Like Dave and Dave said, they're just unleashing a new program.

And, guys, if you missed the boat before, don't miss it now. Dave Sharp, I'm going to leave it at that, because I know the call did go a little long. But I just want to let you know, thank you again. I appreciate all the leaders on the team and everyone that's in Empower Network. Just win for you and your family, and I'll see you all at the top.

Over to you, David. Hey, brother, there's never a call that's too long for a bad-ass message like that, dude. You know what? I mean, truthfully, at the beginning of the call, we wanted to bring some people out, and I went back there to the contest leaderboard, which is still up in the back office, and I saw your name there in all capitals, man. And I said, you know, that's a guy who we don't know.

I didn't know before the contest. I didn't know who you were, man. And just like you said, six months ago, before you got started, you were delivering pizzas or food or whatever the hell you were doing up there in New York. And I just got to tell you, dude, this is what it's about. It's about lifting people up.

It's about not only giving people recognition, but also helping them earn money, instead of just giving them recognition and keeping a bunch of people poor. Dude, you're doing it. You're making it, brother. And you deserve every bit of success that you're getting. Man, I'll say it again.

I'll see you at the top, brother. I'll see you on stage in freaking Austin. You got it. Thank you, David. Hey, we've got to bring out our top female income earner.

Tracy, are you on the call? I'm here, Dave. Can you hear me? Tracy, of course I can hear you. It's such an honor to have you on the call.

You were in Costa Rica. You know what we taught down there because you were actually teaching and training down there. You're one badass female. You've got one of the most badass teams in the entire freaking world. And I just want to get your thoughts before we wrap the call up.

Well, I would absolutely love to share and give some final thoughts. Over the next 80 or so days, Dave, I think that Empower Network is going to absolutely explode. And when I say explode, I mean nothing like we've ever seen before, meaning so many people being able to make large sums of money by working from home, by following the system that you and Dave put together, by following the eight core commitments, by getting their teams to the event, by blogging daily. These are such simple tasks if you actually consider what most people have to do to make any money online. All people have to do is pretty much get on these calls and do what we are recommending for them to do.

I am so honored to be amongst the ranks of Tony Rush, who I heard this evening, and Chris Record, and Robert who we just heard, and Aaron Raskin, and all the wonderful people and the leaders that are part of our community. Dave went through a phenomenal exercise this evening on the call. The ironic thing about this is that after the San Diego event, I had one more training to attend down in Joshua Tree, the Joshua Tree Retreat Center in California, and that whole week was all about projecting yourself into the future and seeing the things that you want and speaking the things that you want and literally feeling the feelings of how you would feel as you have those things that you want, and then going back, looking in the past, and understanding that that is all it is, that it is the past, and that today we now have to start focusing on the things that we want to do differently. We have to start going in the direction that we want to go. We have to stop putting our foot on the gas and the brake all at the same time and wondering why the car won't go out the driveway.

We've got to really start to just let go and listen. We've got to decide to just take action. We've got to just decide to do what we have to do, and that literally just boils down to stop talking about doing the best that you can. It's only about doing whatever it takes, and I believe that this community and this leadership exemplifies that to the highest power possible. It is illuminating itself throughout this group.

It is illuminating itself throughout all of the people that were on that stage, people that nobody knew, not because they were nobodies, but because they were somebodies who came through the ranks starting from scratch, which just proves our point. 90 days ago, no one knew who they were, and 90 days later, they're on a stage. It has truly uplifted so many spirits, not just in my team, but from where I see people posting on Facebook who are all over Empower Network, really taking it seriously now, really putting their pedal to the metal, and I just honestly am so grateful to have had the opportunity to have that conversation with you and Dave back in October of 2011.

I'm so excited that I had the faith and the belief in myself that we would make this work, and the belief and the faith that you guys were true to the game, that you were serious about helping people build their incomes, and that your vision was honest, and that you wanted to create the richest team on the Internet. I bought into your vision, and all I can ask anyone listening now is that if you have not bought into the vision of what Empower Network is doing, then now is the time to take action. Now is the time to get all in. Now is the time to do something different than you've done all the other times, because now is just a collective of all the past decisions that you've made, and if you are not thrilled and jumping for joy with where you are, and you feel like you could not do any better than where you are, then continue to make those decisions.

But if you feel that life can be improved, if you feel that you can literally take things to new levels, if you actually want to be around people who know what they're doing, around people who enjoy themselves doing it, around people who are not all stiff and uptight, and who wear Guy Fawkes and Vendetta masks on their face at an event, and who shout 100% commissions at the end of a conference call, and who yell and scream, get all in, and who are excited to wear T-shirts that say don't be a wussy, where else are you going to do this? Have fun. Be around like-minded individuals. Make a massive amount of money doing it from home, enjoying your life, your family, having your time back. I just don't see where it's not possible, and if after over 50,000 people signing up, you still have a place here right now.

We're still in the first year. We haven't even hit the second year yet. If you understand that you now have a place within our community at Empower Network, now is the time to literally just do something about it. Do something different. And Dave, we are on a roll.

I can feel the energy just through this call this whole night. I'm so excited that Dave Wood took everyone through that exercise. It's so powerful when you just go into the future in your mind and you see it. And not only do you see it, but you feel it, because it's all about the feeling that you have. It's about, once you have it and you see it in your mind in the future, how do you feel about that $100,000?

What are you doing with that $100,000? How are you helping people with this $100,000? What toys are you buying with this $100,000? How are you enhancing your life and the lives of those around you with this $100,000? All those things have emotions tied to them, and those emotions that you feel when you think about that future will propel you, even in times when you are having a bad day, even in times when you don't make any sales, even in times when your team isn't moving the way you think they should be moving yet, even in times when your blog isn't working, even in times when your income isn't where you want it to be yet, even in times when you can't get on a conference call because it's maxed out like this call is.

I've got several people saying that. Even in times when you just don't think you can be on that stage, you can look at somebody like Robert Mercado. You can look at somebody like Peter Sorensen, Chris Record's team, and you can look at all these people like me, and you can say, yes, I can. And because of that, because we can continue to see so many new people rising through the ranks, and it's not just the same group of people over and over, I know for a fact that this ball is moving.

We are going downhill, which means momentum is picking up, speed is picking up, and as speed picks up, energy is moving faster. And when the energy is moving faster, the incomes are growing larger, and all I'm saying is that you deserve to have your income grow right along with the rest of us. So, Dave, I'm going to turn the call back over to you. Thank you so much for bringing me out, and I can't wait to rock it out in Austin, Texas. We are super pumped.

I'm telling you that. Back to you, Dave. I appreciate you, Tracy. I'll tell you what. We've got some rock star females.

Guys, let me tell you something. Actually, ladies, let me tell you something. There is room for you in Empower Network. We want you in Empower Network. We want to lift you up in Empower Network.

We want more women on the stage than men at Empower Network. We want people from all different races, religions, backgrounds. We want people with different hair colors who look different, who smell different, who act different, who talk different. We want people from all across the world, male and female, to come together, unite, guys, stand on stage, fight the forces of evil, and release their inner badass, guys. I've got a five-step action plan that I want you guys to write down and implement over the course of the next couple of days.

Number one, get your piece of paper and pencil. Number one is I want you to re-listen to this audio every single day, morning and night. Very important, guys. You must re-listen to this audio every single day, morning and night.

This week, this one very week, the first week in October, leading up to our year anniversary, is going to be the most important week in your business, guys. We're coming towards the end of the year. We're coming towards the holiday season. In the home-based business industry, this is the busiest time of the year. People are getting back into the groove of life.

Their kids are going back to school. They've ended summer vacation. They're starting to realize where they're at. They spent all their money on vacations. They need money.

They need hope. They need inspiration. They need a way out. And you have what it takes to give it to them, guys. I want you to re-listen to this audio every single day.

That's number one. Number two is I want you to do the exercise that Wood went over earlier, once in the morning and once at night. Friends, if you master that exercise—I've done it and personally done it with people—the psychology that you'll start to understand, to be able to implement and practice that with other people, will be beyond your wildest dreams. Guys, the ability to instantly overcome all of the resistance to taking action and getting all in, not only physically, mentally, and emotionally, is unbelievable. It's the absolute secret.

It's your ticket out. It is what I did, and every other leader did, on this call, to overcome massive odds and experience massive success. Number two, do the exercise that Dave Wood went over tonight on this call, every day and every single night. Number three, I want you to get your payment source ready. Guys, when we launch the master's course, it's going to be an absolute buying frenzy.

People are going to rush to the order page. When you have the opportunity to buy, and certain people are going to have the privilege to buy at first, if you're one of those people that has the privilege to buy at first, then I want you to absolutely be watching your email like a freaking hawk and have your payment source ready. What do I mean by payment source ready? Well, when you're purchasing something that's over $500 or $1,000, oftentimes you need to call the bank. You might want to just go ahead and put in a call to the bank or the credit card company, or however you're going to come up with your resourcefulness to be able to take action.

I want you to do that. I want you to get your payment source ready. That is step number three. Step number four is, guys, get with your team. If you have a team of 1,000 or you have a team of two, get with your team and let them know something big is coming, and have them implement this five-step plan.

This is the action plan that's going to make this the biggest week of your entire career. Guys, I promise you, if you follow these steps, it's going to be beyond your wildest dreams. You have to take action, though. Number five, I want you to get all in.

Get all in. Guys, I want you to get all in. If you ain't all in by now, get all in. If you're listening to this call and you ain't in Empower Network yet, get in. If you're in Empower Network and you're just fiddling around and you've been waiting and wondering and sitting and wondering if you shoulda, woulda, coulda, if the time is right, when you have the money, friend, just get in.

Just make a decision. Realize that your future is going to depend on the action that you take. I'm going to teach you one last thing here on this call tonight that's made the absolute biggest difference in my entire life. And, guys, I'm going to speak to you from not only the perspective of building a business, but I'm also going to speak to you from the perspective of how I transformed my life. I sat around for years, for years, wishing, hoping, and thinking that I could stop trying to kill myself.

I was slowly killing myself, not only physically, but also mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. I would drive around in the neighborhood that I knew my daughter was in, back when I was on the streets. I didn't wander far from the neighborhood that I grew up in. And my mom, God bless her soul, helped take care of my daughter when I was out finding myself and going through my challenges and pains, and I would ride around, whether it be the car that I had at that time, or whether it was in somebody else's car, and I would be blocks or within a mile away from where my daughter was, and I remember thinking to myself, one day I'm just going to do it. One day I'm just going to be a dad to her.

One day I'm just going to get clean and stop all this madness and change my life. And I would sit there and I would think and I would think and I would try to think my way into a new way of living. I would sit around when I was working construction and hating life, being poor, couldn't afford to even buy my girlfriend or daughter a new car, a new pair of shoes. Had to crunch numbers every month because I didn't know whether I was going to make the bills.

And I would sit around and I would sweat my ass off in the hot sun on a construction job, thinking about how one day I would come up with a way to be able to get out of that situation. Guys, I learned a lesson: you can't think yourself into a new way of action. You've got to act yourself into a new way of thinking. You cannot think yourself out of the situation that you're in.

You have to act it. Guys, you have to act it. You have to put action forward. You have to stop thinking yourself out of success. You have to get out of your own way.

You have to realize that sometimes that big old dome that sits on top of your shoulders ain't doing nothing but walking you away from success. It ain't doing nothing except pushing you farther and farther away from your dream. Sometimes you have to get out of your own way. Sometimes you have to realize that the biggest, greatest, and most powerful things ever created inside of this world have been created out of the unconscious spirit, the heart, and action. Guys, action.

Guys, that big, old, stinking neighborhood that sits on top of our shoulders is the single biggest income reducer I've ever seen. There were so many days, weeks, months, and years that I sat around trying to think myself into a new lifestyle, think my way into a new income level, think my way into a new situation, and I'll tell you what, it never happened. So many times we sit around and we think ourselves right out of success, think ourselves right out of the next opportunity, sit around and think about if we should do it, if we would do it, if we could do it. Maybe we'll wait a little bit and see if it works for such and such. Maybe we'll sit back and we'll wait and see if somebody else has success.

And the truth of the matter is, sometimes you've got to be bold. Sometimes you've got to take action. Sometimes you've got to make a decision. Sometimes you've got to lead with your heart and not with your mind. Sometimes you've got to reach deep down inside to your unconscious to make a freaking decision and realize that's the only way that you're going to get ahead, is by doing it yourself and moving your feet, lacing your boots up and walking forward.

Sometimes you don't know what's going to be on the other side of the door. Sometimes you don't know what's going to be on the other side of the fence, and you've got to go anyways. Because I'll tell you what, if you want to be great in life, you've got to be bold. If you want to be great in life, you've got to take action. If you want to be great in life, you've got to march forward.

If you want to be great in life, you've got to believe. If you want to be great in life, you've got to lead. You've got to talk. You've got to absolutely walk your talk. You can't just sit around and expect everybody to be on board with you and believe in you if you ain't taking action.

There's a lot of people who talk a lot of shit in this world, sit around in a circle and ain't doing a damn thing. And all they do is sit around and bitch about how life could be or should be or would be if such and such was in place. And the truth of the matter is, the people who are out there living the dreams are the people who are out there walking their dreams, not just talking their dreams, but taking action. Now, this week can be the biggest week of your life, but you've got to make it happen. You've got to follow the action plan that I just gave you.

You've got to implement what we talked about on this call tonight, and you've got to sit back and watch what will happen if you just march and be bold and take action. Guys, I'm telling you, it's the only way to do it. It's the only way out of the situation that you're in. It's the only option. Guys, we have come down to a point in this world where there are walkers and there are talkers, and it is just that simple.

That's it, period, and there is no in-between. And you've got to decide which one you are. You've got to decide if you want to run. You've got to decide if you're going to be a leader, and you've got to decide if you can lead. You've got to decide if where you are right now is where you want to be in six months.

Where you are right now is where you want to be when we're in Austin. Guys, I can tell you that a lot of people think that me and Dave were always people with skill sets and talents, and I can tell you that when I got clean almost five years ago, I couldn't put two sentences together, but I'll tell you what I did. I freaking took action. I didn't give up. I realized and listened and realized that I didn't know everything.

I listened to the people who had walked in front of me, who had the experience of doing what I wanted to do. I found some people that had what I wanted, and I followed them, and I listened, and I took action. And you know what I just realized recently, over the past about a year and a half, two years, is that money is nothing but paper anyways. I completely detached from it and realized that it means nothing. The truth of the matter is that it means nothing.

I can make more of it any single time that I want, because I'm invested in my future. I'm invested in myself, and no matter what, even if I lost it all today, it wouldn't matter, because I can make it all back because I believe in myself, and I know that I'll take action. I know that nobody can hold me down. I know that this is a movement because we've got a bunch of people who are leaders, not afraid to take action as well, and we are going places, friends, with or without you, but it's going to be more fun with you. Guys, we are going to march into Austin with 4,000 people.

We are going to march into Austin with 4,000 people, between 4,000 and 5,000 people right now. Guys, I can promise you that there are going to be people on stage getting big-ass checks for zero right now, and the question is, will that person be you? I can't tell you that. I can't make that decision for you. I can only put in place what you need to be able to make it happen.

You've got the easy part. You've just got to make a decision, and the question is, are you going to do it? Guys, this is the fucking time to do it. There's no other time like it is right now, and if you're going to run with us, make a decision, and let's make this week the biggest freaking week in your entire life. I love you.

I'm going to unmute these freaking lines, and I want you to scream your ass off if you're with me. Let's lock arms and fight the forces of evil.
