2015-11-30 Empower Hour 113015- Paul Hutchings

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.

To see our full income disclosure, please visit our website at www.EmpowerNetwork.com forward slash income. All right. Welcome out, everyone. Welcome out. Welcome out.

It is Monday night, and we're getting started. My name is Chris Breslow, Vice President of Field Relations here, and just want to welcome everyone out tonight. We've got quite a few different people on the call right now, and if you're a first-time guest who has been invited to this call, you know, someone may have asked you and thought enough of you to think, you know what? This person deserves to take a look at this and see this opportunity and what this community is about and the people behind it, and that they trusted enough to give you this link that you may be listening to on the Internet, or you may have called into the Empower Hour line here, and they see that you may be someone who may see this opportunity and want to run with it. So let me tell you why you're here.

Tonight we're going to have on quite a few people that are making a difference in their business and in their life, being able to work from home and make this thing a reality, and that reality we're talking about is normally what most people consider a dream, something that may not be attainable. And that is not the case, as we're going to show you tonight. But first, let me welcome out all affiliates as well, all Empower Network affiliates, all of you who tune in with us every Monday, hang out with us, and talk about some of the coolest parts about this business, which is the teaching, the training, the strategies, and the mindsets of what it really takes to achieve success in this business. And so welcome. Thanks for being here, and get comfortable.

Grab your hot chocolate, your pen and pad, be ready to take some notes. We have some cool stuff tonight for you. So let me tell you about what you're going to hear tonight and who you're going to hear it from. Tonight we've got a special guest. You may have heard him talking a little bit earlier here.

And this special guest not only has been in this company for the last few years, been around essentially from the beginning when we started four years ago, and when he decided to finally plant his flag here sometime in and really run, he has turned and emerged into one of the top leaders here in Empower Network. And he has built a business that – I'm not going to steal a thunder or tell you his story. I'm going to let him tell you his story. But what I can tell you is this man who's also going to bring out people he's trained and taught to do this business, people he's brought into this business that have had a lot of success. He's going to tell you about it.

He's going to talk about what it takes to get there. And essentially this man, as I've said before, is leadership exemplified. And so just take a quick look down below at the screen if you're online and just know that you're going to hear some crazy things that you may go, what, is that really possible? And for the ones on the line, it has been. And so you'll also see there's that little income disclaimer on the screen that says EmpowerNetwork.com forward slash income.

And that's just going to help you know that the results you may hear tonight may not necessarily be typical. They're the people that put their nose to the grindstone. They listened. They followed directions. They did the work.

And they made it happen. And so what you get to do and get to have the benefit and the luxury of tonight is learning and listening to these people talk about their journey, how they've done it, and what we have for you here inside of Empower Network. Now, just those of you who are on the webcast, and some of you may be on the line, just keep this in mind, there's going to be a button over on the right that's going to say click here to get started or something to that effect. Just want you to know that's going to be there for you. So if at any point throughout the call, you want to be able to get started with our trial and find out what it's really like on the inside and see what our back office has to offer, our training programs, the systems we have back there, the system that you'll be able to use to start building your business from home.

Even if you're somebody who has no experience, you may not even know what this is about tonight. You may not even know what's being sold. You may not even know how this whole thing works, and that's okay. Because if you're here for the first time, or if you're here, have been here a couple times before, and you're still listening going, what are these people about? Are they really being truthful?

Do they have integrity? Do they say what they do? Do they do what they say? Do they make sense? Can I do this like them?

Those types of things, you'll know by the end of tonight. With that, I want to present to you all Mr. Paul Hutchings. Are you there, buddy? Mr.

Chris Rushlow, can you hear me, sir? I can. Good evening, Chris, and good evening, everyone on the line tonight. Chris, I've got to say thank you so very much for that amazing and very kind introduction. I appreciate it sincerely.

To be classed as one of the leaders inside this company, to me, truly is a great honor. If you're just getting introduced to our movement tonight, I believe that as you get to know us more, you'll understand on a deeper meaning what that really means. We've got some very special people here in this company, and it's one of the reasons that I'm excited to be here, and I'm excited to plant my flag. I also wanted to start out by saying welcome to everyone on the call. I am so excited that you made the decision to be here.

Why am I excited? Well, I'm excited because I believe that the fact that you're on this call right now, I truly believe that it means something very special about you. I believe it means that you have hope inside your heart, that you've got something better waiting for you in your future. I believe it means that you're humble enough to know that maybe you don't know everything, and you might be able to learn some new things from some other people. I believe that the fact that you're here on this call right now means that you maybe are what I like to call a freedom crusader.

Are you a freedom crusader? I can't hear you saying yes, but if you're a freedom crusader, maybe say yes, I'm a freedom crusader. What does it mean to be a freedom crusader? It just means that you love freedom. It just means that you believe that you deserve to be financially free if you're willing to put in the work.

It means that you deserve to make the choices that you want to make in your life. It means that you deserve to invest your time in the ways that you want to invest it. It means that you deserve to choose to spend time with the people that you want to spend time with rather than having all of the decisions in your life being dictated for you by someone who's pulling strings over your head like a puppet master. That's a little bit how I used to feel when I used to have a job. The boss said, jump, and I had to say, how high?

The boss said, you know, I'll tell you guys a quick story. I used to work in a call center. I remember trying to figure out how to advance in this company. My friends and I, we would show up to work early. We would leave late.

We would work really, really hard because we thought that was the key to getting ahead. I'll remember my boss, one day I was talking to him and I was like, what do I need to do to get ahead in this company? You know what he told me? He said, Paul, he said, there are certain people on this floor that when they walk by your cubicle, you've got to make sure that you're doing the right thing, meaning you're busy and they can see that you're working hard. I was like, really?

In order for me to advance, I've got to make a good impression on my boss? They're like, yes, that's what it takes. I actually have another funny story that I can tell you real quick. My friend Arnold, who moved to the United States from Burundi, Africa for a better life, he went in and had an interview with his boss where he was like, Doug, tell me how to advance. His boss was like, okay.

He's like, you ready for the secret? Arnold's like, yeah. He goes, okay, here's the secret. He goes, first, step number one, you've got to get yourself a set of spandex racing shorts. Then he goes, step number two, you've got to get yourself a racing bike.

Step number three, you've got to get yourself a Lance Armstrong book. If you can imagine, this guy coming from Burundi, Africa to America, his parents are diplomats. They were living a good life in Burundi, but his parents said, you know, freedom is important. We believe in freedom. We believe that there is a land of opportunity called the United States of America.

We believe in it so much, we're going to send our children over to this country, which they did. They sent my friend Arnold. They sent his younger brother. They sent his younger sister over here to America to learn how to have more opportunity. If you can imagine, after leaving Burundi, coming to America, sitting in a cubicle with his boss, asking his boss, how do I advance?

His boss says, you've got to get spandex shorts, you've got to get a racing bike, and you've got to get a Lance Armstrong book. You can imagine the bewildered look on my friend Arnold's face. My friend Arnold's like, what are you talking about, Doug? Arnold is like, well, he's like, you see the vice president of sales over there? His name's Jeff.

He's like, he's really into racing, and he's really into Lance Armstrong. He's really into this. He's like, that's what you've got to do to advance. Guys, being a freedom crusader says, enough of that bull. I'm going to be the master of my destiny.

I'm going to be the captain of my fate. I'm going to go out there, and I'm going to create the life that I want to live. And if you've got that feeling, that fire inside your heart, which you're hearing this call, and again, I believe that means that you've got it there, you're in a good spot. Because tonight, the intention is to share some things with you that can help you step forward into even more freedom, regardless of whatever business you're in. You could be in Empower Network, which is the name of the company that I'm in, and my flag is planted with, and many of my team members, their flag is planted with.

Or you could be building any other kind of home-based business. The intention here tonight is I'm going to be sharing a little bit, and I'm going to bring out some of my best friends in the world, some of my fellow freedom crusaders, some of the people that are in the trenches with me every day fighting for freedom, I'm going to bring some of them out. We're going to do our best to share some things with you that can empower you, that can lift you up, that can help you not just see a better future, but also begin to step into that better future, or continue to step into it if you've been freedom crusading for a while. I'm one of those guys that believe that one conference call can change the entire course of your life. Do you guys believe that?

I believe that one event can change everything for how your life works out. I'm actually a living example. It was just a few years ago, I was living in a 1984 single-wide trailer house. I'd been struggling in network marketing for five years, doing the things that people were telling me to do. For five years, I struggled in network marketing, and I found myself living in a single-wide trailer house, parked on my grandfather's land, I didn't even own the land, living in this trailer house, struggling, making a few hundred bucks a month.

I remember there was a point in my journey where I was literally so frustrated that I knelt down and prayed to God for help. What happened to me, I'm going to give you the short version here, what happened to me was within a few days, I happened to get on a conference call, or whether it was a video or a conference call, where I heard an individual speak. That individual's name is David Wood. I heard him talking about different things. I heard him talking about different ways you could build your business.

I heard him talking about ways where you could build your business and have a life at the same time, ways where you could use the internet to generate leads that were pouring into your inbox every single day. So many leads that people were signing up so fast that it didn't even matter if people quit because they were joining so fast and commissions were coming in so fast. I remember being on that call, sitting in my single-wide trailer house, wondering to myself, I wonder if this is possible for me. I wonder if I can step out of my struggle and into my victory. I wonder if I can step out of the darkness and into the light.

I wonder if I make a decision to follow this guy, if things might be able to change for me. I've been able to take that money. Not a guarantee of income, as Chris said. Results vary. You could make a lot more money than I've made.

In fact, we have a lot of people in this company that have made a lot more and are continuing to make more. So you could make more. Results vary. See the average earnings disclaimer at EmpowerNetwork.com forward slash income dot php. But here's my point.

Because I was open to that, we've been able to take that money and buy our dream home in the country on seven acres. I fired my boss, like, clear back in, gosh, I don't know how long has it been. We're in 2007. I think I've been jobless for five years now. What does that mean?

No boss, no alarm clock, unless I want an alarm clock. I get to live my passion and do what I want to do every single day and make great income. I get to take my kids to school every morning. I get to have great conversations with them. I get to have moments that matter with the people that matter and earn a great living.

Why? Because I was on a call similar to this a few years ago, and I was open to some new information. And guys, I'm not the only story. Before we get into some of the content and some of the value that we're going to be sharing with you tonight, I want to just real quick give a shout out. Okay, guys, we got some exciting stuff happening in this company right now.

I want to give a shout out to, and I may miss some people because I went through Dave's profile wall and just kind of scanned through, I want to give a shout out to Michael Martin who hit diamond this month. What is diamond? We got Michael Martin. We got Justin Beringia hit diamond this month. We got Mike Hobbs hit diamond this month.

We got Nuno Rabocho and Rita hit diamond this month. We got Lawrence Tam hit diamond this month. Guys, what is diamond? Now, why is that exciting? Now, we got more.

We got more here. Actually, let me hit a couple other names real quick. We got people left and right, guys, earning great incomes because of some of the information we're going to share with you on this call tonight that you can take and apply wherever you want to apply it. You can apply it here or apply it in another company if you choose, but here's what excites me about seeing all these diamonds popping up. Dave realized that if he's going to achieve his vision, what he's really got to do is he's got to create diamonds.

There have been a little bit of enhancements that Dave's done to kind of tweak things along, because the company was moving along great. See, Dave's got this big vision, and he's like, I want to do this. I can see it in my mind. I can see stadiums filled with – in fact, I remember I was at an event one time with Mike Hobbs, the guy that just hit diamond, one of the guys that just hit diamond. It was a few months back.

We were at this event, and we were sitting in the audience, and Dave, the founder of this company, was walking around on stage, and Mike and I were sitting in the audience, and Dave starts talking about how, I can see a day, Dave says. He says, when you walk out on stage, and you look out into the audience, and all you see are – it looks like stars, this glistening light shining back at you from the audience. And you might think they're stars. You're like, wow, what are all these stars doing out here? And then, as you're staring out from the stage, and you're looking at these glistening lights shining back at you, you realize that they're not stars.

They're diamonds from the million-dollar earner ring. He says, I can see a day when that's going to happen. I can see a day when I walk out, we've got five, ten thousand people in an auditorium. And I remember Mike and I sitting there in that event, and we just looked at each other, and we were like, this is going to happen. It's not a question of if.

This is going to happen. The only question is, what are we going to do about it? What part are we going to play in this vision? How many people do we want to have on our team? Good husbands and wives and moms and dads and single people and people with a dream who are breaking free from the bonds of mediocrity and breaking free from the shackles of slavery.

How many people do we want to have on our team that are a part of this vision? And Mike and I were like, dang it, we want to play a big role in this. So we made a decision. We made a decision to act on some information. And you know we're going to be sharing some information with you tonight.

You might want to act on it. If it moves you, we'll see. That's the goal. But anyway, Mike and I made a decision, and isn't it interesting? So in any case, guys, we've got some exciting stuff going on in the company.

And we've also got some exciting stuff going on in the particular team that I'm working with and that Mike and Justin and some of our other leaders that I'm going to bring out tonight are working with. We're seeing a lot of great results in our business, a lot of great results. And so what I kind of want to do tonight is I want to share with you guys some of the ideas and philosophies that are creating a lot of momentum in our team. So who's our team, right? Who's our team?

We've got this team inside of Power Network, and I just wanted to share with you guys. Over the last 30 days, we have had a minimum because we don't track all of the new team members that come in, but we've got this spreadsheet and a certain number of team members that are participating in the activities that we're participating in, they track their enrollment, okay? So on that spreadsheet, in the last 30 days, we have literally as a team shared or sponsored 274 people with this small group of people that we're working with on our team. You know, there's a great quote that says, and I think it was Margaret Mead who said this. She said, never doubt that a group, a small group of thoughtful, concerned citizens can change the world.

Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. A small group of thoughtful, concerned citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. And I believe that we, in this company, are a group of thoughtful, concerned citizens who can see a better future for our families, who can see a better future for our society, who can see a better future for our children, who can see a better future for the countries that we live in. And I believe that's why we're all gathered together on this call, because we see that things can get better and we're not apathetic people who just go sit on the couch and, you know, go hang out at the water cooler and complain about stuff.

We're like, no, hey, we see room for improvement, what can we do? How can we walk arms together? How can we move forward to create a better world? And that's what we're doing. So on our team, we got this group of thoughtful, concerned citizens and we brought 274 people or more into just our little small team inside the company in the last 30 days.

And here's what's interesting about that. And I'll just ask you, you know, I can't hear you, so you got to answer and I got to trust that you're answering. Would you like to know how to bring 274 people in a team in 30 days or less? Would you guys like to know how to do that? If yes, you're on the right call.

If you'd like to know how to have more freedom in your life, if you'd like to know how to do things faster, with a little bit more efficiency, utilizing technology, you're on the right call. And yes, there's going to be a link, I think, if you're watching this on a website or if you got an email about this or if someone invited you to this call. If you're moved by anything we share tonight and you're like, you know what? Those guys I heard on that call, I resonate with them. I resonate with them.

Just get back to whoever invited you and they can show you how to get started inside of our movement. We have like this ridiculous, you know, money back guarantee where you can join. It's like a stupid low price. And if you don't like what you see, you can get your money back. Why do we do that?

Because we want to make sure that anyone and everyone has a chance to experience what we've got because we believe that once you get on the inside, you're going to be so in love with the people, you're going to be so in love with the culture, you're going to be so in love with deciding to be a part of that small group of thoughtful, concerned citizens that is committed to changing the world that you'll want to lock arms and run with it. So we make it risk-free. So you can click and join at any time and there's absolutely no risk for you. So what I want to do is I want to bring out some of the people that are helping to create this momentum inside the team that I'm blessed to be a part of and are having some great results. So I want to bring them out and I want to have them share with you guys, you know, what's going on inside their minds and why are they here and what are some of the tips that they're, you know, utilizing to build their business.

And before I start to bring these guys out, I've actually got one, two, three. I believe I've got three special guests here. They're going to be popping out. Before I bring them out, I want to share one thought with you guys, one thought that is helping us to really get some momentum in our business. So here's the thought.

You know, I was coaching a new team member who had joined a few months ago and I was in my mind, I was thinking about how can I explain to this person the different types of activities they can take to make money and be free and to get results. And all of a sudden this image popped into my mind and we've kind of been using this on our team. So what I told my new team member was I said, look, I said, you know, the goal here is to help you make money and be free. Whatever your goal is, help you make money. And in the process of helping you make money, sort of like a side effect to that is we also happen to help you transform, right?

Because to get a different result in your life, you sometimes have to change a little bit on the inside. You might have to change the way you think. You might have to change an action that you're taking. And when you change in the right way, that tends to lead to more money coming into your bank account, more freedom, right, so on and so forth. And so I said, you know, so I know you're here to make money.

So I said, if you can imagine in your mind two buckets. So, and we'll call these the money buckets. Who likes money buckets? I laugh when I hear the term money buckets because I'm like, yeah, give me buckets full of money. I'm good with that.

I believe in prosperity, right? So if you can imagine these two buckets and the bucket on the right says get money now, get results now, and the bucket on the left says get more money over time, get even better results over time, right? So you got two buckets. You got the get money now bucket and then you got to get money, even more money over time bucket. And inside these two buckets also fall, like if you were going to, if you were going to place skills and activities that you could do to make money inside each of these two buckets, the get money now bucket, there are simple things that you can do that are low tech, that don't, that really don't require any sort of technical knowledge.

There are simple things you can do to make great money and be free on the internet, okay? And that's the get money now bucket. So simple activities can work really, really quickly, like we can teach you how to go out there and get a commission in the next couple of days, that's the get money now bucket. And as a matter of fact, Aaron Hubbard, the Bowtie guy who we're going to bring on here in just a little bit, he is really key and responsible for bringing some of the things that we're doing on our team that have helped us a lot that have to do with this get money now bucket. But for now, I just want you to get this concept.

Simple activities that you can do low tech to go out there and generate a commission, right? So there's the get money now bucket. And then over on the left, you got the even better results over time bucket. And in this bucket, there's even more money. There's like hundreds of thousands of dollars and millions of dollars and whatever you can imagine in this bucket.

And in this bucket, the things that you need to learn, there are skills that you need to learn, right? There are higher levels of skill sets, different types of activities. Like for instance, you know, in the even better results over time bucket, you can learn things like search engine optimization. You know, get a piece of content ranked on the first page of Google. You can learn copywriting where literally like you write this email and it like almost commands you.

It almost like people open up your email and the email like just goes right past the person and starts talking to their wallet and like commands it to rise out of their back pocket and give you money, right? That's copywriting. It's a skill, right? So there are skills in the even better results over time bucket that you're going to learn over time that are going to compound your ability to be powerful, that are going to compound your ability to be influential, that are going to compound your ability to be prosperous. And one of the things that I love about this company that we're in right here is we teach you those skills.

All of our products and services are designed to help you master and to help me master the even better results over time bucket and that's important to understand, right, that is there and it's also important to understand that while you're learning that stuff, because it's good to learn, isn't it? Isn't all that stuff good to learn? While you're learning that, there are some simple things we can help you do where you can go out there and generate commissions right now. So that's one of the key philosophies behind a little bit of the success that's happening in our team. Now what I want to do is I want to bring out some guests because I'm super excited about these guys.

First guest I want to bring out is Mr. Rob Skinner and Kimberly Skinner, husband and wife team. Rob and Kimberly, I'm not going to steal all their story, but guys, they've made seven figures in several different businesses prior to the business that we're in now. They've had a lot of great success. And in this business, they've done great things as well.

Love them to death. So hey, Rob and Kimberly, are you guys here? I'm not sure which one of you guys wants to pop out first. We are indeed. Go ahead, sweetie.

Well, I don't know that I want to necessarily speak first, but either way, I'm happy and honored and really privileged to be part of Empower Hour, which to me has become an honored tradition and I love, love, love the opportunity to address the people listening to this call because it has just really made such a huge difference in my life and in our life as a couple and in our family's life and in our community. So I get really, really excited about it. I started trying to figure out how I could make some money online because I guess, if the truth be told, I was basically trying to buy my husband's freedom back. In 2013, he was working kind of a more traditional MLM kind of approach and he spent over 200 nights in hotels. And that was a really high price, I felt like.

Even after that in 2014, he had to spend months away from home building the businesses that we were involved in. And so for our family, that just had a high price tag, a higher price tag than I wanted to pay. And I just tried to find ways to make money online so that he could participate in the lifestyle he was creating for us. And so when I found what we have in Empower Network, it was immediately, I mean, like instantly evident to me that it was the solution to a lot of the issues that we were dealing with. And then it just became super important to me to help Rob see how that there were solutions there for him.

And so I guess that's probably where the story picks up for him. So if you want to take it from there. All right, thanks. Hey, Paul, are you muted? I don't know.

Do I need to be? I'm still here. I can't mute. No, of course you don't need to be. I just wanted to interact with you a little bit.

Yeah. Isn't she a doll? Yeah, I've got a really special wife. I'm not really sure where you want me to go with this. I'm pacing my pool in the backyard.

We moved to Florida. And I'm just like, my heart is just full. I guess I'll just tell you a couple of things. You guys know that you have some uncashed checks and notes, right? And I want you to take some notes here.

I'm going to tell you a couple of things that are really something that I've lived by. And our fortune has come at a lot of cost. We've been epically successful in many businesses. And each one of them I started with not knowing a doggone thing. Each one of them I started with stubbing my nose, my toes, my knees, my elbows.

And I just crawled through glass to get to the other side. And it's just tenacity. It's certainly not smart on my end. Kimberly's pretty smart. But we're also raising six children and grandchildren during that time.

So we had our separation of duties. But here's kind of what I live by. First of all, I catch on quick no matter how long it takes. Translation, I pretty much suck at everything in the beginning. I just stick it out until I get it.

That's the translation. And when you're done, when you finally do catch on, it just doesn't seem like it's been that long. You don't remember the glass that you crawled through, the bob wire that you crawled under and ripped your pants, because you replaced them with silk. You don't remember those times, because we have a euphoric recall. And that pain has turned into a clarion call, which makes our stories, which is the bedrock for our legends.

And I'm here to tell you, at least the men on the call, and I think I have a pretty good relationship with women. I usually sponsor women. Legends are what we live for. Recognition is something that babies cry for, men die for. But legends are what we live for.

And this is what we build in our why's and our self and our people, the why that makes you cry. And if it doesn't make you cry, you better go back and rewrite it till it does. So you have a drowning man's desire to do whatever it takes. The second thing, the second quote I'd like you to write down is sweat, perseverance, and an endless attention to detail. So we work hard, that's the sweat.

We persevere, because if you're like me, you suck at first. And then the endless attention to detail is listen to the leaders. Learn, do, and teach, as they say. So my story starts a long time ago, Paul. I was telling Chris Rushlow this, and he says, oh, we have to hear this story sometime.

And I know Chris might pop out and tell me to shut up, that he wants to save it for another time. But I think the story can be told over and over again. My 18th birthday, I was wrestling at Oregon State in Corvallis, Oregon. I lived only six miles away in my parents' house in Philomath. And I worked in the summertime, or the weekends, in a lumber mill making plywood.

And it was a dead end job, but I didn't know that, because it was $11 an hour. And this is a long time ago. Guys, that's a lot of money for a kid in college, you know? But it was tiring. And I had this guy, Van de Hey was his name.

And he says, I got to show you this business. He goes, you're too good for this. And you know, he's building me up. And I'm 18 years old, so I'm eating it up. Anyways, he signs me up in Amway.

And he says, what do you do? He goes, you got a whiteboard? He goes, a chalkboard? I go, no. I wasn't even 18 at the time.

We had to wait till my birthday to sign me up. But anyways, for my 18th birthday, I got an easel and a chalkboard. That's how old I am, by the way. They didn't have whiteboards back in the day. They didn't have dry erase markers.

So I go to my first meeting. He tells me to go up and sign 10 people up, and then don't contact until I do. I say, how do I do that? He goes, you'll figure it out. And I said, oh, OK.

He says, just draw the circles. So I go over to this guy's house. I'm in the basement of his mother's house, and showing him this. And she brings us down lemonade cookies, realizes it's Amway. I said, is that Amway?

The next thing I know, she's got a hold of my trousers by my belt and my collar, and she's running me out her front door. And as I stumble down her drive, about to explain myself when my easel hits me in the head. That's my start in the network marketing. And it hasn't changed much. We were real successful in traditional business.

So we didn't need network marketing, but I loved it, and I kept trying it. But each time, that same story happened, not literally somebody throwing me out, but literally me falling on my face and failing, and just could not figure it out. And then we kind of figured it out, and we made a lot of money. And the companies would fail, or change your pay plan, or steal your downline, or do something that we could not abide by, something that we didn't feel would fit our core values. And so we left.

And Kimberly tried to introduce me to Dave and Dave, and she showed me a little video. And I heard a couple of F-bombs, and I see these kind of weird-looking dudes. And I said, man, I don't want anything to do with those nuts. And this is a few years ago, and I had a real closed mind. I said, they don't even like guys in suits.

What am I going to do with them? I wear a suit all the time. I won't get along with those guys. She said, you really would. And I'm like, no, I really wouldn't, and I have no interest.

And I was the CEO of a company, a trading company, and I was the master distributor of another company, so I had no interest. Well, finally, one thing led to another, and I met Dave. And seriously, in an hour of talking to him face to face, Paul was there, my wife was there, and I don't know if you guys have ever been to an event, but that little red-haired guy that looks like he's on Miami Vice or NCIS, he was there, that security guard, staring at me the whole time. And we were down in the basement below the hotel in Nashville, and I wasn't sure if they were going to chop us up or sign us up. But it was really interesting, because in that hour, I got to know somebody that I had a completely different perception of, and my life changed that day.

And that was last April. And two months later, I was able to figure out how to resign from the company and go full-time at this. And actually, Paul, we have a commission pending. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, it's really like our fifth full month.

And I want to tell everybody out there, I still do not get online marketing. I am so bad at it. I try, and I'm working real hard at it. And that's why my results are up there, because I just persist. And I do what Paul, and Mike, and Kevin Sousa, and what Dave says.

Dave looked me in the eye and just said, do what you know while you learn and grow. And so I'm out there, and I'm wearing out shoes. And what I'm not doing is leaving my family, though. For the first time ever, I'm making a living actually at a home-based business in my home. All my other home-based businesses, I was staying at that Holiday Inn, and that Hilton, and that Marriott every night.

And I was gone, and on the road, and burning up tires. And I'm literally home. And I'm listening and learning. And we're signing up people every day the old-fashioned way. I'm using the internet, but I don't know what I'm doing.

I really don't know what I'm doing. But I'm learning. I'm learning what it takes to be in a mastermind, what it takes to let other people do some things, to what it takes to be a servant leader that we've always wanted to be, and allow other people to gift us with their grace, and beauty, and talent, and come together, and unify, and be so much more powerful. And how great is it to have a leader at the top that is such a visionary, that does have a heart, and you can watch the maturity in him from the first time I saw him four years ago till now. It's almost like a different person.

The vision has grown, the man has grown, and the business has exploded. So it's a pure honor to be here. And I could go on forever, Paul, but I think there's more important people to hear from than me. And I'm just sorry we didn't hit platinum for you this month. I worked as hard as I could, but there's always next month.

We won't quit. Do what you know while you learn and grow, right? Pretty great stuff right there. Love it. I love you, Rob and Kimberly.

And Rob, let me ask you, before I actually, I think I want to have you introduce the next guest because there's a real interesting story there. One thing just real quick, you know, you guys may have heard Rob's been in, Rob and Kimberly both have been in a lot of different traditional network marketing companies. They've been successful in them. Rob's been a master distributor of different companies. My question, Rob, is what do you see in Power Network that's different from everything else you've ever been in?

Like why here? Why are you here now? Why I'm here now is because, first of all, I've always bought into the vision of the owner. I've always been close to the owner of whatever company. I've always interviewed them.

And it was shocking to me that Dave even invited us backstage. I had no interest. I was supporting you and Kimberly. I had no interest in being involved. I was actually going to go back to traditional business.

And, you know, that just didn't serve our mission. Kim and I went on a retreat and were on our knees for days asking, writing our vision statement, our mission statement, our life statement about what our purpose was. We had lost $30 million in the car business when Chevrolet, General Motors shut a bunch of dealers down. We lost our livelihood. Everything got built.

And we started over with nothing. We asked, what is our purpose? And the overwhelming thought that came through that was that we were supposed to help free a thousand families. And there was a financial side and a spiritual side to that. And we defined that, again, through prayer, that about $75,000 additional dollars into a family would help them.

And this was about a decade ago. And so I don't know how to do that, Paul, outside of this industry where you can affect that many people. I no longer had the means to go start, you know, some business. Even with six car dealerships, five car dealerships, I could only employ a couple hundred people. I couldn't employ thousands.

So it was very difficult. When I met Dave, instantly his vision resonated with me. But the business just makes sense. Nobody has, you know, digital products. There's a couple of companies that have amazing digital products.

But when Dave, he asked me, why haven't you joined us? I said, well, quite frankly, I'm a team builder. And you only cater to, you know, direct salespeople, from what I can see. He goes, well, what if I change that? And he was in the midst of changing this.

So the timing was perfect. You know, God sent us together at the same time, I believe. And he was changing the program. And we've seen a couple of renditions of that as it's grown into this uniline and paying people to actually support and build a team, as well as produce. So we have the both sides of, two sides of, two great sides inside this one industry of direct sales that we're in.

Multi-level, which pays residual income, which we're all dreaming of. And then producer pay, which pays so much higher level. And it's just, he just put it together masterfully. And I've been involved in crafting pay plans. I've been involved in scrutinizing them.

I've been involved in being in them and watching them erode from the bottom up. You know, I've been involved in all that. And then you add Chris Jones. You add Mars Burden. You add the cast they have.

I mean, I have to shout out to Zach and Ian, Vanessa, and Michelle. And there just isn't a bad egg in the bunch. They're amazing, Rob and all of them. And what they bring together is, again, a mastermind, you know, Chris. All of these people are just amazing.

And if you look into this, I have a better question for you, Paul. How could you not be involved? How could you not? How could you walk away from this? That's really what I saw, I would have to say, too, is that this leadership team consistently strives to create a pathway that is so simple, so totally accessible for absolutely anybody who's willing to do what it takes to get their family free.

They're constantly working behind the scenes to make sure that we have a competitive advantage in the marketplace. And it is by far the finest community to support and really meaningfully help people grow into profitable business people. For me, it's really okay to strive and stretch and do what it takes to build up the stamina to learn and grow and gather those skills we need to accomplish our goals. Learn a few new things here in this online space for us old dogs, a couple new tricks. And, you know, practice tuning out the noise of the naysayers and practice installing the new habits of taking in better input that rewires our brains, essentially, from the people who are getting better results than we were.

And maybe, you know, people on this call can recognize that they will finally have people in their corner, maybe for the first time in their life. Or maybe this is just like a great addition to some already great life that they're creating. But either way, you know, now we have access to the most incredible experiences and the most amazing people. And the most amazing strategies that we use. I mean, it's just unlike anything I've ever seen.

So that's why I get excited. Cool. Appreciate you so much, Kimberly. You guys are fantastic. Let's go ahead and bring out a couple of our other team members.

Rob, do you want to introduce? We've got Mr. Aaron Hubbard, Bowtie Guy. And just as a preface I want to throw out here, guys, Aaron has sponsored 19 people this month. Single-handedly, by himself.

That's a feat, right? In any company, I think that's a feat. Do you want to introduce Aaron and then we can bring out Angelo as well? Yeah. Yeah, both of these guys, the law of attraction played a big place in both of them.

I love little brothers. As a matter of fact, Angelo is living in my home. Aaron and his wife were, stayed in my home. So here's what happens. Kim and I do like to travel, but we like to travel together.

So I have this big Denali, gorgeous truck. And I jam my family in it. And we scatter them all across the United States with cousins and everything. And we're going to Vegas. But we're taking a month to do it.

So this is what happens. We get up there and we're driving through the Rocky Mountains. We happen to hit a thunderstorm, a summer thunderstorm. And it's a little bit treacherous. And we're going through those tunnels and we're scoping.

And Kim says, you've got to listen to this guy. He's really good on scope. And I said, okay. And Kim listens to everybody. She's just like a sucker of knowledge.

There should be a vacuum named after my wife, the knowledge sucker or something. Hoover has nothing on her. And she puts Aaron on. And he had me in literal tears. And so this was a bad situation.

I'm driving down a highway in Colorado in tears, in a thunderstorm, going through tunnels, windy roads. And I said, if this guy doesn't kill me, I looked at my wife and I said, I'm going to meet him. I'm going to help him. She goes, how are you going to help him? I said, I don't know and I don't care.

But that's what's going to happen. Well, less than two weeks later, we're standing in front of each other at the Seattle Needle. What do you call that thing? Space Needle. With him and a friend and Kimberly and I.

And he almost gets me killed by some drunk guy. But that's another story for another stage day. But Aaron and I and Kimberly, we just chatted. And I told him what I wanted to do. I said, I want to help.

I want to promote you. He says, why would you do that? I said, because I love you, man. Your story is amazing. He lost his sister and he talked about that.

And it was his why. And it really touched me. And he's sponsored over 100 people in one month. And he's done it without paid traffic. That's what I want to make clear.

I know 19 doesn't sound like a lot when you've got people like Michael Martin doing 25 in a day. And I'm not taking anything away from Michael Martin. Oh, my gosh. I want to bow to his feet and wash them. But Aaron Hubbard has done 19.

I think he did 28 one month. We did 23. He did 28. And neither one of us paid a dime for traffic. And we have a 70% or 80% upgrade rate.

So there's different philosophies in how you work different businesses. But Aaron, I met him. And this was like in the middle of the week. The next night, he was getting plane tickets. And he says, I said, if you come down to Vegas and come to the event, I'll make sure there's a ticket for you.

You have a place to stay. You might be sleeping in our bathtub. But Kim and I had a suite and we had seven people in our suite by the time it was over. But Aaron came to the event and he's been by my side since day one. I should say Kimberly and I side.

And they've constructed some amazing things. So I guess with no further ado, Aaron, star six yourself and come on and tell everybody why you're here and why you're so fabulous. Are you hearing me on the line? Can you hear me? Yeah.

What's up, everybody? Thanks for having me on the call. I appreciate the introduction, especially from Paul. Thank you so much for the introduction. And my sponsor, someone I look up to dearly, Rob Skinner.

Kimberly, thank you so much for finding me. I just want to say, you know, if you're somebody on this call, that you're on this call for a reason. And I want you to believe that right now. You're on this call for a reason. Just like I was friends with Kimberly Skinner on Facebook for a reason.

I didn't know what it was. Okay? I didn't know why we were crossing paths on Facebook over and over and over. And then I saw a picture of her with a fish in her hand. And I saw a bridge that I thought was in Washington, which it was.

It was just down by Oregon. And I didn't know that, like, that little interaction on Facebook would, you know, two hours later, I'd be standing in front of Rob and Kim at the Space Needle having lunch, talking about what they're doing and what's going on, to now being on an Empower Network Power Hour call. I remember when I first started my career, a long, long time ago. I've been doing this for a while. I remember listening to these calls as a prospect, like you are now, wondering if it was all true, wondering if it could happen to me.

It's funny how I ended up back here, now talking on this call right now. And I'm thinking about, you know, for some of you that got to meet me at the event in Orlando, and you remember me grabbing the microphone and talking about, do it now. Okay? That's how I've always lived my life. And when I met Rob and Kim, I don't know what happened.

And I am so glad that I had an open mind because I kind of had a little closed mind that I took the opportunity to go and see what this was all about. And my first experience in Vegas meeting Paul, the person that's been speaking on this call, Paul, I love you, man, Mike Hobbs, and meeting David Wood, and just seeing the whole thing in live person, and getting to talk to people, and seeing the vision. That's what this is all about, and seeing people change their lives and having my own life changed. Just in the last, I think it's been maybe three or four months, three, four, five months now that I've been back here. And enjoying all of the information that's been given to me.

I've been able to take my business and do things that I've never done before. And I've been in the corporate America for 17 years of my life. Funny thing is, is I was, you know, Rob used to own car dealerships. I used to be his top salesman, you know? And one thing that always got to me in this little bit about my story is the fact that when you, and maybe some people on this call can resonate with this, you know, some of you have kids, and you go to work, and maybe you're doing this now.

You go to work and your kids are asleep, your wife is asleep. And for me, I would go to work at 7.30 in the morning, and I wouldn't get home until 7.30, 8.30, 9.30, 10.30, 1 o'clock in the morning, because I did three or four deals for the day. And my kids, I'd come home and they'd be asleep and my wife would be asleep. Over time, that got to me. And in 2000, excuse me if I start crying, but in 2007, because I've been selling cars for a long time at that time, someone passed away in my life, and it made me realize that life is really short.

And that if you don't go after your dreams, and you don't go after what you want in your life, you'll be doing what everybody else wants you to do in their life for them. And that's what I'm talking about, being an employee or not having freedom, right? Paul talks about the freedom, being the freedom crusader, talks about, you know, empowering people. That's what Empower Network stands for, when David Wood said that he wants to free 100 people, he wants to create 100 millionaires a year. You better believe it.

And the reason that you're on this call right now is because he believes you can do it, I believe you can do it, and every single person that talks to you on this call believes that you can do it. And I thank you for letting me be on the call, guys. Love you, Aaron. Isn't he amazing, Paul? Isn't he amazing?

I said, isn't he amazing? And Paul, he hit a real key point there. And I want to share real quickly before we bring out Angelo, is that you can see how he loves you. He didn't know you before, he knew of you, he knew of Kevin Sousa, he knew of Mike Hobbs, but he didn't know you guys. And, you know, Kimberly and I make a habit of not being possessive of our assets of any kind or our friends.

And when you get into this business, here's the key, I don't have to be Paul Hutchins. I know him. I got him. I get to share him. I don't have to be Dave Woods yet.

I know him. I know he loves me. I know he's going to love the people I bring him. I get to share them freely in this company. Most companies are so guarded.

Don't talk to my downline. Don't talk to your crossline. Don't, you know, they have all these stringent rules because of the way people behave. We don't share that same sentiment in our lives. And we don't share that in our group in the Pipeline Prosperity Alliance.

And we don't share that as a company in EN. I have so many people that reach out to me. You know, I mean, when Lawrence Tam reached out to me, I mean, I'm like, how does these people even know who I am? You know, when Justin Varingia and Dee reach out to me or John Oakes or somebody that I, you know, I may just say I have no business knowing these people and yet they congratulate Kimberly and I like we're on their team. And that's what you get to do here.

You do not have to be the expert today. What you have to be is willing to jump in and let us help you. So should we, anyways, I just wanted to bring out Matt Paul because it was so evident of his adoration for you, admiration for you. And isn't that cool? And we don't have to be jealous about it.

Yeah, it is cool. It brought tears to my eyes. And, you know, what you just hit on and what Aaron demonstrated is what Dave talks about all the time that I heard for a long time and didn't really understand but I'm starting to understand it and what Dave has said for a long time is it is more powerful to be unified than it is to be right. If we're unified together then everything you just said, Rob, is absolutely true and together we can be much greater than any one of us can be by ourselves. And that's, you know, that's I think what we do here in Power Network.

And it pays better. It really pays better. It really does. It pays a lot better. And it's less work, too.

Who wants to be the man all the time? Not me. Oh my gosh. I love sitting back and having somebody else take the go-to guy. It's a little tough at first when you've been the big dog but I'm telling you it is really especially when it's unity and nobody's looking for that type of recognition.

They just want to help. They want to help from their heart. It's a whole different kind and it's just brothers and sisters out there doing the right thing. That's what it is. It's like we are in a war in this industry and it's like we're out there with shields and vests for each other and fighting off bureaucracy, bad attitudes, you know, and all this but we're teamed up and we're fortifying each other and it is freaking awesome.

It's a thing of beauty. Well, let's bring out Angelo. Angelo, guys, has sponsored 13 people this month in the company again with his bare hands him and his beautiful wife. Kiss them. And they're over bronze.

Do you guys want to introduce Angelo? Yeah. This one is really funny. Kimberly, you want to do this one, sweetie? Or you want me to do it?

I like to hear you tell this. Okay. This is kind of cool. Yeah. And Angelo, I'm going to tell you right now he's pacing on the other side of my home.

His family is staying with us right now in Florida. I'm out by the pool. He's out by the pond in the alligator somewhere because he is so close to bossmaker silver he is burning up digits on the phone and internet. His fingers are shorter. Just trying to find that next level because that's what we do, right?

This is the time. We end the month strong. We begin the month strong. But here you go. I don't know Angelo Gianni from I don't know him.

I don't know him at all. I've never seen a picture of him. I've heard my wife talk about him but I'm not into these internet marketers. They're not my buddies. They're not my friends.

I don't do business with them. I'm a belly to belly guy. I don't know him. Here we are. Just moved to Kissimmee, Florida I mean about a month and a half ago I go work out every day by a shopping center.

Kimberly does not go there because it's kind of a manly place. Anyways, this day she says out of all days never gone with me said I want to go with you and I want to walk down to that little shopping center. So I go down there. I work out. I go to pick her up and she had ended up at Walmart and I said do you want to go in and get something?

She said no and then she changes her mind and so we walk into Walmart we buy something we come out and there's this really handsome guy with a little bit of swagger walking into the Walmart Now he's a good looking man and he's got this hat on and it's got these like five inch letters, gold that say money. And I'm like right away, cause I'm working out, right? I'm in a workout clothes and I don't wanna be aggressive. It's Orlando, I'm a country boy from Idaho. So I don't know how people interact here.

So I don't make eye contact. I don't want anybody thinking I'm doing whatever, right? And I keep walking and all of a sudden I hear my wife go, Angelo? And I hear Angelo go, Kimberly? And pretty soon there's a union.

Well, the reason that makes it special is Angelo lives in Indiana, okay? A thousand miles away, 1,500 miles away. And we run into him on a random day where Kimberly never goes with me at a Walmart. And I said, where are you guys staying? He goes, well, we don't know yet.

We're looking for a hotel. I go, ah heck, we got a big house, come with us. And he watches me work for about two days. And after a while he says, you know, I was in the end. I says, yeah, I've been reading about you.

I went back and researched him. I said, you were pretty good too. He goes, yeah. He goes, I got big in my head. And I took the information that Dave taught me and these people taught me.

I took it all, I made a lot of money. And he goes, and then I got broke again. Again, I'm not gonna steal his thunder, but he's watching me talk to people. He's watching the way we talk to people. He's watching us help people.

And all of a sudden he's tapping me on the shoulder when I'm signing somebody up and he's got his credit card and says, I want in. I never talked to Aaron about the business. I never talked to Angelo about the business. They both asked us about the business and both of them are just, you know, while they're on the power hour call, if that tells you anything. So Angelo, unmute yourself, brother.

Hey, can you hear me? Good. Yeah, we got you. Hey, Angelo. Hey, how's everybody doing tonight?

Good to hear you, man. Hey, what's going on, Paul, man? This is an honor right here, man. You know, it's like, you know, a while back in like November, 2011, from, you know, being on these calls and throughout 2012, early 2012, and later in 2012, being on these calls, it's like you kind of envisioned yourself one day being on the call. And this is like kind of crazy right now.

Kind of like I need to pinch myself or something. So, it's like that day is here and this is my first time ever speaking on a power call. And I'd just like to say, guys, you know, dreams really can come true. What you vision really can come true. I didn't think in a million years I'd be talking on this call today, you know.

And when you set your attention and you set your mind in a certain direction and you see the future, which I see today, in the past, that's right now, I'm on the phone right now. The future is right now that I saw in the past. Things really can come true for you as long as you believe and get around the right people at the right time. And right now, you're on this call. I'm telling you right now, you're on this call.

Hey, guys, we're getting some feedback. Robin, Kimberly, Aaron, I don't know if you guys can mute your line. We're getting lots of noise coming through. Thanks. Go ahead, Angelo, sorry about that.

It's all right. And right now, you're at the right place at the right time, I'll tell you guys. There's no other time to be plugging into the Empowered Network like no before. I mean, we just launched a new comp plan with the Uniline comp plan that's just now launched and there's no other time but right now, which we'll get into later about that, but there's no other time right now to get plugged in with these people that care so much and love so much. And a little bit about my story, I'm just an average Joe just like any of you.

I worked a second shift job where I was working 12-hour days and if you just picture a gray, dull, boring warehouse where it's just forklift horns blowing everywhere, you're bored, you're consumed in there and I'm a family man, a husband of a wife and five kids and I was a husband of wife and four kids at the time and my wife's name is Crystal and my family is my life. They're my heir. I'm so used to being around them and there's some things that I've done in my past that led me from being trapped into that warehouse to where I can advance in life because society has given up on me and that's one thing what I love about Empower, they don't give up on nobody and they believe in everybody and I was in this warehouse and you just picture this, everybody is negative, everybody's looking depressed, everybody's brown-nosing to get to the next level, everybody is just, they just wanna find any dirt on you to try to get you in trouble just to get them higher and every day it's just people just backbiting and just mean and just not loving and it just put a weight on your shoulders and it makes you depressed and it kills your spirit in the atmosphere and when I was there, I knew my value was more than that situation I was in. I knew I had more value than the people a little bit in meetings when we're putting 110% in the job and one little mistake, they wanna hammer you and threaten you that they're gonna fire you and I saw and I envisioned me having more and I knew there's something out there that can help me. I just knew there had to be something that could change my situation because I didn't have no options in life at the time.

I didn't because society has given up on me from a past incident that I've done that's affected my record and I couldn't get certain jobs. It felt like doors would just shut everywhere on me and I didn't have no hope and one day I'm searching online and I clicked on an ad just like you probably done and you probably watched a sales video that seemed like the answer to all your problems. You probably watched a sales video just like I did that got you excited, pumped up with energy and from then on, you went from not seeing any options to seeing diverse options in the world. You started feeling more relaxed and calm and secure when you was watching that video and when you clicked that buy button, you was fired up and ready to get started. I know some of you understand what I'm saying because I felt that feeling as like all my answers, my prayers were answered right at that moment when I was watching.

When I got started, I was in full belief and I plugged in, got some sales here and there and what I did is I took the education of Empower, got all in up to the point where the price was to the 15K and I got educated and I took the knowledge from Empower and I created $1,000 in $500 days in another company. The knowledge that I developed there, I was able to create a full-time income at home. Now, before I get into that, with the second shift job, they wouldn't give me enough time to go to the Empower event. It was the very first event called Don't Be A Wuss in Atlanta and they wouldn't give me the correct time to go there. They only gave me like a couple, like a day or so and I needed like the whole weekend and they wouldn't allow me to get the time that I needed to, long story short.

I'm on the verge of going homeless. I'm asking family members for help and they're just as broke as me. They only can do so much. So I was on the verge of going homeless. So I sat there and thought to myself, I'm at a fork in the road.

I either need to stay here and keep this job and eventually go homeless with no education, no blueprints, no way out, no nothing, no nothing for my mind can see to get me out of my hole or I can go to this event and take the days I need to get the blueprints, the resources, the right people, the education, the right energy that I need to get out my situation. Even if I go homeless, I've still got a way out because I got the proper education, the right people behind me to get out my situation. So I had to make a choice and I chose to go to the event. So when I went homeless and I got, I eventually went homeless and when I went homeless and I got educated even more in the products and I started having those $500,000 days, I became not homeless again. And I'm just telling you this story because what we have here can create miracles.

I went from, this is how the breakthrough happened. Dave was on a webinar such as you've probably been on before where he was asking Dave Sharp questions of what would this do for you if we created the richest affiliates in the world? It was something to that nature. I can't quote exactly what he was saying because it was two years ago. And every time he answered, he asked Dave Sharp, what would that do for you?

You know, and each answer he gave, he asked him again, what would that do for you? I saw what it would do for me. I saw that white bill that I struggle with wouldn't even be a problem. I saw that rent that I struggle with wouldn't be the problem. It wouldn't even cross my mind, the stress would be gone.

You know, I saw my wife who I felt less than a man because I couldn't even handle my bills or feed my children properly. I saw her with pride in her eyes again and I saw that I can look in her eye again because there's been some hungry nights, guys. There's been some pain trying to figure this thing out. And I saw me on stage with cameras flashing, me in tears, my son holding his head up high that he could be proud of his father. I saw me on the beaches of the world where I'm sinking my feet in some hot sand looking at the palm trees and the clear blue ocean waves and the warm weather and I'm just loving life, relaxing and enjoying it with my family and they're happy.

And they're not crying about the next plate to eat. Crying to my wife that we're hungry and my wife looking at me, are we gonna get any food soon? And the store's about to close and I can't do nothing but hold my head down. I saw that change around. I saw my life change around for the better.

I've seen everything. I've seen the vision. I've seen where I can help people that was in the same situation right now. On this call right now, they could be in the same situation I am right now and their stomach is churning. And I saw people whose life bills that they struggle with, not struggling with it anymore.

I saw people that were homeless, not homeless anymore and they got mansions. I've seen people, thousands of millionaires roaring everywhere and we're on a private island somewhere celebrating, crying like we made it. I saw everything that I wanted as he kept asking, what would that do for you? And what would that do for me and bring less stress? And what would less stress do for you?

It'll make you healthier. And what would more health do for you? It can help you have the right energy to change other people's lives that were in the same position as you. So I became non-homeless and I had a full-time business. And for a year or two, just from the education of this company, I was able to have a full-time, consistent online business.

Now, I came on a roadblock in my life where I made some bad decisions where I had some challenges in my business and it started falling down. So I went to a dark, negative age in my life and I went back to where it didn't feel like no hope again. But I read a book that kind of renewed me. And it was a book that kind of brought me full circle back to Empower because it was the same concepts, it was the same self-development, it was just the same smell, the same taste of what this vision is all about. And I just said, you know what, to my wife, let's just leave, let's just do a new beginning, let's walk on water, let's live on faith and we'll let the universe guide us.

And we're just gonna trust it and let it transform us and guide us and bring us to what our purpose is to do. And that's what the story of Rob is telling you about, that's how I bumped into Rob and Kimberly. Just out of a whim, it was like it was divinely set up by the universe. Just from a thought, I'm gonna walk on water and live by faith. I bumped into Kimberly, who I built a relationship with online, just so happened to bump into her in Florida.

And we developed a bigger bond. Kids just started, you know, it just flowed. Like we always knew each other, like it was this family for years. And like Rob told you, when I watched them, I seen them close on the phone, like I seen me and I handed over my credit card, like, give me in. And you know, every since then, and you know, I brought two people with me and it was like almost the end of October.

I brought two people with me in, but I still was, you know, teeter-totter because I still had to get write-down money and I had to work this business as well, but I still needed to eat at the same time or rebuilding within power. And Paul, I met Paul and, you know, I seen Aaron finally in person finally and we built a relationship. And you know, when you meet people in person, it's just, you feel the energy, you see their hearts, it brings a bigger bond. That's why you gotta get to the events because it creates something I can't even describe. And I met Paul and I felt his heart, his energy, and I just grew attached to him, like instantly.

Like I love this man, like I love my brother or my cousin. I love that man, he has a big heart and Rob has a big heart, Kimberly has a big heart. These people will give the shirt off your back. Rob gave me the code to his home and say, just come anytime. He put that trust in me.

And for a long time, I've been looking for a circle that can just believe in me. A family that just can believe in me when it felt like everybody just left you, when society has just left you and don't even give you another chance. And power, which you see right here, has given a person like me another chance. And they believe in me and they love you too much. There's too much love here.

I had to come back. The universe brought me back home and I heard Dave speak on the stage that put the ice on the cake. He told a story about 2014. His on a higher scale, mine's on a lower, but we had the same story of how we had to forgive, how we had a lot of anger out here that we had to forgive people and we had to just move forward. And who's gonna be with the vision is gonna be with the vision.

The universe had to show us in 2014 from the little struggles we had and the little trial we had and the mountains we had to climb. We had to go through it to bring us to this moment right now, to do a greater cause and to bring this vision into full effect and create 100 millionaires a year and just keep creating and creating. We'd be on stadiums and it's nothing but Empowered Network rings shining everywhere and we're screaming freedom and we're just loving life. And you know what? You're here right now to be a part of that.

You will be on and on. Yes. You're blowing me away, man. I actually got a text from someone at corporate and they were like, you know, we're, they're like sticking out the, you know, like the thing from the stage where they're pulling us off. They're like, we're over like 80, 90 minutes and I'm like, oh man, I got lost in the story.

I was like, I'm just like, I'm hypnotized in your story and like, you know, everything you're talking about. Yeah, we probably better wrap it up here quick and let everyone go for the evening, so. I appreciate y'all for bringing me out, guys. You're here at the right time. Get in, plug with the leaders.

You got nothing but love here. I love y'all. I believe in y'all. Just take action and you will see what you want in life just by teaming up with nothing but a family of love. I love y'all and I believe in y'all.

Just take action with us. You won't be disappointed. You're awesome, brother. Appreciate you, Angelo, and love you too. And guys, I hope as you were hearing, you know, Angelo and Robin, Kimberly and Aaron, you know, if there's one thing that I hope stuck out to everyone on the call tonight is that it is that love.

It is that heart. It is that belief in people. It is that belief that we all have something better waiting for us in our future. You know, as Angelo was talking there, he was talking about, you know, sinking your toes into the hot sand and, you know, being on a private island and, you know, he was talking about all this stuff and I was just like, I was just imagining it and I was like, you know what? I was like, we are a group of people that believe in happy endings.

There's so many people in the world that don't believe in happy endings anymore. But you know what? We do. And not only do we believe in happy endings, we believe that every single one of us has the ability to co-author the book to that happy ending. And we're a group of people that will believe in anyone who wants to write that book, who wants to take that pen in hand rather than just let it sit there, right?

We believe in happy endings. And, you know, last thing I wanna share with you guys just real quick and then I'll bring Chris back out on the line. You know, I was at an event. I don't know. It was about a year ago.

And Dave Wood was doing a bunch of stuff on stage and he's like, tonight, you're going to go back to your hotel room and you're going to have a dream. And I was like, really? He's like, what? He's like, you're going to have a dream. And in this dream, you're going to discover your purpose on a little bit deeper level.

Guys, I went back to my room and I literally had a dream. And I woke up the next morning and I was like, your purpose is to help people believe that better things are possible for them in their future. And guys, if there's one thing that I really hope you get tonight, it's that wherever you're at right now, there's a better place waiting for you. If you're in a single wide trailer house, like I literally was just a few years ago, jobless, 200 bucks a month coming in, kneeling down by my kid's bed, praying to God, tears flowing down my face, not knowing how I was going to be the man that I needed to be, be the husband that I needed to be, be the father that I needed to be. And I offered that prayer and I found this community.

There was a way for me to get from where I was then to where I am now. And what's the step, right? What's the step? Wherever you're at right now, if you're wanting to get into a better position financially, if you're wanting to get in a better position emotionally, I believe the number one thing that you can do, and this is something that I guess I kind of fell into, the number one thing you can do, I believe, is get around people that can lift you up, that can believe in you, that can show you ways to do things in a better way so you can have better results. And really that's what this community is all about.

There's no place on planet Earth, guys, I've been in lots of different network marketing companies over the years. I've been around lots of different people and I do the best that I can to study people. One of my first mentors says, if you want to be successful in this business, become a student of human nature. And one of the things that kept happening to me over the years is people would, you know, in different companies, I would discover that they didn't really believe in me. They didn't really believe in people.

They would quit on the vision. They would quit on the company. They would start companies to make a profit. They would make decisions in the company because it was in the best interest of the company. Who cares about the reps, right?

Over and over and over and over again, if there's one thing that I know about this company, this call, this vision, Dave Wood, Chris Rushlow, Mars Burden, Chris Jones, the amazing people that are here in Empower Network is this is a company that's going to believe in every single person who gets in. They're going to believe in it to the end and they're not going to quit. I've seen this company and if you guys have been around for a while, you've seen things hit this company that could hit other companies and they just be like, we're out of here, we're done. Goodbye, this is too tough. Guys, this is a company that gets up and keeps fighting.

And what does it keep fighting for? It keeps fighting for the people. It keeps fighting for that happy ending. It keeps fighting for your future. It keeps fighting for your family.

Guys, it's amazing. It really is. It's amazing. So I would just encourage you, if you've been moved by anything on this call, get back to whoever invited you, get started. We'll get you plugged into the system and you can kind of see what we are all about from the inside.

And I think what you'll discover, if there's one word that I could sum up, everything, this company, the products, the vision, this is the one word. It's heart. This is a company with heart. And I hope that you felt that tonight, if you're a guest, and I hope that you'll decide to get started and get around us. And I can't wait to watch your life change and hear you come out on a future in power, I recall, and tell your story of struggle to victory.

So thanks, guys, for being here tonight. Chris, did you have anything else you want to talk about here? I'm good to go, man. Good to go. Close it out.

Cool, cool. All right, guys. Well, listen, have a great night and always go for your dreams. We'll see you on the next webinar hangout later this week. Thanks for coming.
