2015-11-09 Empower Hour Call- Mike Hobbs

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, everyone. Welcome, welcome. My name is Chris Rushlow, Vice President of Field Relations here at Empower Network, and just want to welcome everybody to the call. And tonight's going to be an awesome night, because there's a cool, cool deal happening that we're going to talk about.

But first, let me tell you why you're here. So, for some of you and all of the returning affiliates here with Empower Network, welcome, welcome. It's going to be an awesome call tonight, and some of you already know who's coming on, and it's going to be one heck of a ride. For those of you that were invited here, you may not necessarily know what exactly is happening right now, but you know that you heard about the story of somebody who is going to come on the call tonight and explain and talk about their journey to success, which honestly does not look like what a lot of us would imagine would be the path to success. You see, a lot of people may have preconceived notions and talk about how they see successful people in business who did the right thing, you know, got high grades in high school and went to college and got really high grades in college and then got a really good degree and probably went on to get, you know, Masters or so, and then they go out and they have this amazing success right out the gate, and life is just this fantasy fairy tale where everything was so great because they were so smart and they were so gifted and talented, and they're the ones that deserve to be successful.

And to the quite contrary, what I will say tonight about our guest that I'm going to be bringing on to all of you is, he's one of the most humble men that I know, and his path really has not been one that you might think. You know, first off, you know, struggled through high school and also struggled through college, dropped out of college. Amazingly enough, one of the biggest traits about being an entrepreneur and a home business owner and really wanting to start your business and learn a way to make money, you know, from home is that it's consistency. And one of the things that, you know, we can attribute to this person I'm about to reveal to you success is the fact that 12 years in the military and served his country proudly. And with this man, I'll tell you, you know, going through, I've heard his story and I'll tell you guys the ups and downs that happen when, you know, you do what you can, you get scanned, you have to file for bankruptcy.

All these things that you're going to hear tonight from Mike Hobbs on how he was able to turn all of that around, even from going from $100,000 in debt and having to file for bankruptcy, is this amazing story of how that turned around and how he has found himself to be here with a community of entrepreneurs, home-based business owners, and leaders here that are very passionate about helping and building leaders and raising entrepreneurs up into running their own home-based businesses, creating financial freedom. Mike has been able to do this to the tune of, I believe, over $700,000 in earnings over the last four years here at Empower. And obviously, those results are not typical. But as you can tell already, the story of Mike and Christy is not typical as well. So just know that those results are not typical.

It's not something you can necessarily expect. It's an individual effort and focus on depending on how hard you're willing to work and follow directions. And so what I want to do is actually just bring on out the man of the hour, which on top of that, you will be able to, you know, learn from Mike. He's going to talk you through what he learned and what he understood and what it took for him to be able to attain the type of success that he now teaches in his team and that we as a community here at Empower Network choose to infuse into our culture. We're really here to help raise up new people who are really looking for that second chance and that shot if your life hasn't gone perfect to be able to start a home business, learn how to make money, learn how to generate income, and eventually replace, you know, your primary income as well.

And so on that note, I just want to see, Mike Hobbs, are you there, brother? I am. How's it going? It's going good. All right.

How are you doing tonight, man? Oh, I'm doing great. I'm doing great. I'm just happy to be here. And again, Chris, thank you so much for that great intro.

And just so everyone knows on this line right now, you know, my goal is to, number one, just kind of share with you my journey, some of the lessons that I have actually learned through my life of this home-based business entrepreneurship type of journey, and hopefully you can take what I've learned and actually implement it in your life. Because here's the deal. I actually learned this from a guy named Chris once, and he said you can either learn from your mistakes or you can learn from your mentors. And another way I like to put that is you can learn from your mentor's mistakes, right? Because here's the thing.

When you get in a home-based business and you just try to go out there all on your own, and a lot of you, I don't know where you're from right now. You know, you may just be an Empower Network affiliate at the moment, or maybe you just got on here from an email invite that someone just sent you an email. You don't know anything about this company. You don't know anything about this industry. You don't know anything about making money online.

Well, my goal tonight is to share with you how you can avoid all of these little mistakes and all the different things that people make that you don't have to. You don't have to make mistakes. You can actually learn from someone else's mistakes. So that's my goal tonight is to help you understand exactly how to make money here. And I have a bunch of lessons.

I have three specific lessons. I'm just going to teach you how to make more money now. So, obviously, Chris already gave the income disclaimer, but I've got to give you another disclaimer real quick. And this is the crazy kids disclaimer. So, you know, I'm pacing around with my headset on.

You never know when one of my kids, I have five kids, is going to come up and start yelling in the background. So crazy kids disclaimer number one, if you hear crazy kids screaming in the background, it's my kids. It's not someone else on the line. It's just them running around, you know, having fun. And that's what's cool about this business.

You know, we get to build this business from home. I'm actually in my house right now, and, you know, I don't have to commute anywhere. I don't have to go anywhere. I don't have to be anywhere. I could literally work this business, get on a call, hang out with you guys, and make a lot of money.

So, first of all, the first thing I want to talk about, you know, Chris mentioned I was in the military for 12 years. I'm obviously married with five kids. Family is majorly important to me. In fact, it's one of my biggest reasons why I even do what I do, why I'm in business. I know a lot of people, they have their why's.

They, you know, make them cry or whatever you want to call it, right? But here's the thing. If, like for me, my family was everything. I actually joined the military before I even had a family. I was single, and I didn't have a family.

I joined the military, and what ended up happening was, because I really didn't know what to do with my life. I wasn't good in high school. I wasn't good in college, right? In fact, I joined the military so that I could get college paid for. And then, you know, what ended up happening was after I joined, I got married, right?

Then I started having a family. And then what I realized was, man, I get deployed, and I have to leave them. And I did not sign up for that. You know, I signed up. I wanted to serve my country because my parents did, and I wanted to, you know, do something, make a difference in this world.

But I didn't want, I didn't sign up to leave my family. And I didn't know that I would because I didn't have a family when I joined. And that kind of, that will be, I'll talk a little bit about that a little bit later. But here's the thing. I want to actually tell you my journey from the home-based business standpoint because a lot of people have heard my story.

You read the e-mail, things like that. But I want to talk to you about my home business journey. So the very first, so here's what happened. I remember I was on my first deployment. We were supposed to go to Iraq.

This was in 2003. And I almost missed my daughter's birth during that deployment. I came home on leave during the due date, and my wife at the time did not have the baby the last day of my leave. So we're like, oh, no, what are we going to do? We're going to miss my daughter's birth.

And I'm on this stupid deployment. I'm going to go to Iraq. And I called the first sergeant, and we got him to extend it. So I extended my leave from the military for four more days. And the reason they were able to extend it is because they actually canceled our deployment to Iraq.

So they sent us to train cadets instead. So if I would have been going to Iraq, if they wouldn't have canceled that, I would have been gone. I would have missed my daughter's birth. But they canceled that, so I didn't go to Iraq at that deployment. Later on I did, but not that one.

And so I got lucky, got my four-day extension. And then on the fourth day, she still didn't have the baby, so we had her induced. And then, you know, we sped it up and had my first daughter, Haley. And 12 hours later I was on a plane, and I was gone. Didn't get to see her, you know.

It's just like not even a day old, and I'm already leaving, you know, my first daughter. So I was very frustrated at that time. You know, I came back from that deployment, and I was like, man, I've got to do something different. So I actually had one of my buddies who introduced me to network marketing, and he came up to me. I was working at Walmart because I was doing military part-time at that time, and then, you know, when they deploy us we go full-time.

So I came home, I was throwing boxes and trailers at Walmart, and my buddy came and was like, hey, do you want to come learn how to make some money from home and come to this meeting. So I went to the meeting, and I got my first network marketing business, and that was selling phone services. It was kind of a funny thing. And I do want to say one funny story about this business. My first customer ever in network marketing, okay, check this out.

So the RVP of the company comes over to my house, and he's like, all right, make a list of friends and family, write them all down right now. And I'm like, all right, cool, I'm writing this list down. And then he's like, all right, now call the first one. And I'm like, wait a minute, you want me to call them now, like in front of you? And I was like all nervous, like, oh, no.

And he's like, yeah, but that's my dad. And he's like, yeah, call him. I'm like, dang it, what did I sign up for? So I got on the phone, and then the script was, hey, Dad, you know, can you do me a favor? I just started this home-based business, and it will help me out a lot if you switch over your phone plan.

You're not going to lose any money. It's actually going to save you money. But more importantly, it will help me build my business. Can you help me out, Dad? And that was the script.

I remember to this day because that was my first customer ever in network marketing. I got a phone service sold to my dad for doing me a favor. And you know what was hilarious about this story I found out? My dad actually came up to me this year, and he finally switched to a cell phone. He finally switched to a cell phone.

And I saw the phone bill on the desk, and it was the company that I sold him that phone. And I was just laughing so hard because I was like, that was like 12 years ago. And he still had that stupid landline phone that I sold. And he finally got his cell phone switched over. So I wanted to talk about that real quick because that was my very first step in network marketing.

And I was definitely not motivated to stick around with network marketing at the time. My mindset wasn't in the right spot. And so I ended up leaving that company. I actually left the industry for four more years. I didn't get back in until 2007.

And here's what's interesting. Military really drove me to change my life. And here's why. And then four years later, here I go again to another deployment. And they deployed me to Iraq this time.

So it was like, okay, are we really going this time? But this time, it was a year-and-a-half deployment. So I end up going, so instead of a six-month, a year-and-a-half. And now I'm leaving my family again. And at that time, my wife at the time was fed up with me leaving and ended up divorcing me.

So she divorced me, and I didn't even get to speak to my daughter the entire time I was gone, because we were not on good terms with me and her mom. So literally, I came home on leave, went to hug my daughter, and she didn't even recognize who I was. Talk about, man, like shocker, you know, like gut punch. So I decide to change my life again, you know? Like, man, maybe I should, you know, change my life and actually make something work, become successful, because this, you know, leaving all the time is not what I want to do.

So I end up buying or I end up seeing one of my buddies, my battle buddies there. We were on tower guard duty at the time. And he was reading a book. We were on break. We weren't reading books while we were on duty.

That would have been crazy. But he was reading a book called Rich Dad, Poor Dad. And I'm like, hey, can I borrow that book when you're done with it? And he was done. And that's what we did over there in the military.

We read books because bored out of our mind, you know, on breaks. So we traded books, and I read that book, and that completely changed my whole paradigm. I was like, man, I have got to start a business. I have to start a business when I get home because this is going to be my – this is what's going to help me win. So I got home, and I was like, I'm going to start with the mortgage industry, you know, because, you know, Robert Kiyosaki is all about real estate, right?

So I ended up buying a bunch of real estate books and getting my mortgage license and doing all these crazy things. And then the funny thing is the second I got my mortgage license, that industry crashed. I was like, dang it, what am I going to do? And my buddy, another friend of mine, invited me over to another meeting where he introduced me to network marketing again. This time it was selling mortgages and life insurance.

So I was like, oh, dang, that's perfect for me because I got my mortgage license, and that kind of crashed, so I could still use my talent to do this network marketing business this time. So I hit it hard. I had a new girlfriend at the time, which is Christy, who is my wife now, my awesome wife now. And she was there making appointments and calls for me, and I was going over and doing presentations. About a year of that, about $4,000 in commissions.

But here's the difference. This time, so I wasn't having the great success, but the difference was I was committed this time. The first time, I was like, I need to change my life, but I wasn't committed, really. Second time around, though, I was committed. I wanted to do whatever it took.

I did not want to go on another deployment. I did not want to leave my family again, ever. So I was committed to make it work. It took me a year. It still wasn't working, but I kept going.

This time I was committed. So I looked online, and the first things that pop up, hey, make money quick. Do this thing. What's funny is because I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad, he always taught use other people's money for your purchases. Well, he didn't specifically teach that, but I went more into the other industry, real estate industry books, and they're always telling you like, hey, Use other people's money.

Don't use your own money. So I had credit built up. I had like an 800 score. I had like $100,000 in available credit cards. And I was like, man, I'm going to make this business work.

I'm just going to dump so much dang money into these things and earn 1% back on my money because I want to make money. I want to make it work. Things are going to work out. And then my friends, then they started working. This is the scary part.

I want to just tell everyone now. The scary part of my home business journey here was those things were actually working for me. That was the scariest part. And here's why. Because they were obviously scammed.

I didn't know that at the time. I was just like excited to make 1% of my money every day. And I was kind of naive. I didn't really think too much back then. But here's the scary part.

It was working. And I was withdrawing it. And I was like, holy cow. I'm like, dude, I could do this full-time. And they're like, what are you doing?

And I tell them, and that was where the scary part happened. The scary part happened was those scammy things were working. And then what happened was my friends bought into it. So I had like some of my closest friends ever. They pulled together money, put like $20,000 into these things.

And then the next month they went out of business. Out of business. Gone. And I was just like floored. I have all this credit card debt now because I was using other people's money, right?

My friends got scammed because of me. So I felt like crap. Because I didn't know they were scams at the time. I was just naive. And so I felt depressed.

I was seriously depressed. And I was like, man, what am I going to do? And my friends stopped talking to me. I couldn't sell another network marketing business to my friends again. I mean, think about my reputation.

Like some people say, oh, I burnt out my friends' family. There was no way. Like I was known as the guy who scammed them out of their money. You know what I mean? And I was really depressed for a long time there.

So I kept going online and figuring out a way. And I said in my mind right there in my heart, I was like, you know what? I'm going to pay back every single penny that those people spent on these little scammy things. I'm going to pay it back one day. And I didn't know how I was going to do it, but I knew I was going to do it.

I had a desire. And I told myself, I'm going to pay them back someday. And so I looked online more on high-ticket programs, started joining those. But the best investment I ever made at that moment was a coaching program. And it was a high-ticket coaching.

And the reason I say it was the best investment is because I got plugged into a mentor. I was actually plugged in to a guy named Franco at the time. And he kind of showed me the ropes. He kind of showed me, hey, you need to do this, you need to do that, you need to do this. And then all of a sudden, things started to work out a little bit for me.

Things started to roll. But the problem was I started learning marketing and I started learning how to do it because I had a mentor, someone showing me exactly what I should be doing. But the problem was the companies I was joining. Like it seemed like every single company owner I joined would either go bankrupt or they would quit their own company. They would jump to another one or whatever.

But I literally thought that I had to jump from thing to thing to thing because the companies were not stable. There was no stable company that I ever joined since I started online at that time. And I was just really frustrated because like, man, why can't a company just stick around for more than two years? Why can't a company just pay out what they say they're going to pay out? Why can't a company have a vision to actually free people?

Why can't people actually do something that will work online anyone can do? So I kept searching. I kept searching. And I went from those high-ticket things. I was like, okay, well, high-ticket is not working for me so maybe I should try low-ticket.

Or no, MLM. I went back to a startup MLM. It was kind of a juice where basically I'm like, okay, I'm going to get in pre-launch. Maybe that's the key. I'll get into pre-launch.

I started pre-launch companies. And then I was like, okay, pre-launch didn't work. Well, maybe the high-ticket, maybe that stuff doesn't work. And I sponsored like 200 people. And I was like, yes!

I finally broke through. I'm sponsoring people. I was like, are you kidding me? I just got my breakthrough. I was like so frustrated at this point.

I was like, man, why can't a company work? So okay, low-ticket is bad. So then I joined this other company that paid you out. They're like, well, we'll pay you 700% commissions because we're going to pay you in advance. So I hurried and got to that level.

And I was excited. I was like, yes! So I start going crazy with that company, building it, and then all of a sudden they come to me and they're like, hey, we don't like the way you're marketing. You're promoting it on the Internet. We don't like that.

So we're going to cut your pay by 40%. So then this company cuts my pay for 40%. I brought all these customers to them and they thanked me by cutting my pay. And they thanked me by taking away a bonus check that I won. They took it away.

They said we can't promote on the Internet. So all these struggles, all these things in my journey, I had so many opportunities to just throw in the towel. Maybe I should just go full-time Army. Maybe I should give up. Maybe I should just not make the money from home.

But here's what happened. I finally started making a little bit of money. And this was the final straw. And this is really where my freedom happened. I got deployed again.

So after all this stuff, and at that point I actually was $100K in debt at that point. I had to file bankruptcy. I was backed into a corner. I really had no other choice. Borrowing money from my family and my church and depressed.

And to top it off, I get deployed to Iraq again. And this was 2011. And I finally was like, all right. It actually was a blessing in my life. I believe because I lost all my money.

We were to square zero. Nothing going on for me. So getting that deployment actually helped. I was like, wow, I can actually pay my bills. Because we get like three or four grand a month on deployment, tax-free.

So I was like, it actually saved me at the time. But here's what happened. I left my family again. Again. For another year.

And towards the end of that deployment, I get this Skype message. And it was from one of my buddies. And he's like, dude, this guy named Dave Wood just started this new company. And we got to get in. And I'm telling you, I was like, really like the only reason I even considered it is because I knew David Wood.

And I knew his heart. And I knew who he was. Because at that time, I was frustrated with startups. I was frustrated with things that just come and go. I was like, man, we need a solid company.

We can't just be doing startups. You know, we can't be doing prelaunches. And I told him that. But I'm like, but it's David Wood. So hey, we'll give it a shot.

And I am so glad that I did. Because this company, that was four years ago. So I want everyone to really realize this. So up until that point, I had to jump from thing to thing to thing, losing money, losing money, losing money. You know, my friends losing money.

Everything just going to crap. And then I finally get into a company. I didn't know it was going to happen. I didn't know where it would go. But all I knew is, you know, okay, we're going to do this again.

And I joined the company. And I'm so glad that I did. And I'll talk about a couple lessons that I learned with this. But because here's why I'm so excited that I joined. Number one, with the money that I've been able to make in this company, I was literally able to pay back every single one of my friends, every penny they ever invested in those little scammy things.

So I paid them all back. They were shocked. They were shocked. I paid it back. I'm no longer 100K in debt.

Right? I'm no longer in the military. I got out May 15, 2013. I no longer have to leave my family. I have literally won my freedom because of this company.

And you were invited to this call just like I was invited four years ago, something that has changed my life completely. And you are here. So I'm going to tell you, take that seriously. Get started if you're not in. Be more committed if you are in.

Because this company is here to stay. The things that are going on, guys, absolutely incredible. And I could talk a little bit about that. But I want to talk about three big lessons that I learned with Empower Network and with why this is so powerful. Lesson number one, out of trying all those MLMs, all those companies, there were companies that I was like, you know, I am passionate about health and wellness.

So why don't I do a health and wellness MLM? Or I'm passionate about this, or I'm passionate about that. There have been different passions I've had. Why don't I do all those other things? Well, here's why.

Because they don't pay high margins. So the cool thing about what we have inside of Empower Network is they pay out because they're digital products and tools on the Internet, you have a high margin of payout. So the company pays out 70%. So here's when someone tells me, well, I'm not passionate about blogging or I'm not passionate about training. Well, here's the thing.

Most people, they get a job or most people start a business. Like think about every business on the planet. What's the whole purpose of business? I want everyone to really understand this. What's the whole purpose of business in the first place?

It's to make money, isn't it? Like think about it. Every product and service in the world is about making money. If you go to a restaurant, why do they serve you food? Just for fun because they're passionate about food?

No, they're not passionate about food. They're trying to sell a product that people want and need in the marketplace so they can make money. That's why you're in business. Every business sells something so that they can make money. So the purpose is not exactly what you're selling.

The purpose is to make margins, make money. So what I learned through my lessons or my years of experience in this industry, all the different products that I've sold, that getting paid higher margins, like 70% commissions on the products that you sell is huge because now you can take those 70% commissions and you can buy the expensive supplements. You can buy the expensive juice. You can buy the expensive things that you're passionate about. I couldn't do that unless I was making money.

I buy the products though because I like them. I don't need to build the business because of that. You build a business that will make you the highest profit margin possible so that you can afford the expensive products. And then you don't have to waste your time promoting something that doesn't make you any money. Like we kind of have a secret saying, you know, all those other companies are pay cuts because they are.

You build a company that you're passionate about, you're going to take a pay cut. You build an Empower Network business, you make all the money that you deserve with quality digital online marketing products and tools. So one of them is a blogging branding station. You brand yourself on the Internet with it. Another one is the InstaBuilder where you can literally create capture pages and sales pages on demand.

We've got personal development training. We've got training on how to be a top producer, how to build teams, how to communicate well. We have a big product suite that are actually valuable and that's all you've got to know. You've just got to know that the products are valuable. They pay out 70% commissions throughout our compensation.

We have this new Uniline structure to where every single person who joins, joins after you. So right now you may be staring at a buy button on the page or listening to it on a call. If you get started now, everybody else will start in underneath you. The faster you get started, the more people will get underneath you. So it's really cool how that works.

Then you've got products that are 70% payout. So digital products, that was one of the biggest lessons I've had with this company is you want to be able to sell something that pays high profit margins. So another major lesson that I learned throughout this company is focusing on making personal results. So what do I mean by this? So in other companies, in other comp plans, everybody is always focused on you get two, they get two, they get two, and you're rich.

I'm just going to be completely honest with you. That's a load of bull because it never happened. You may get spillover on your binary. You may get, even in our company, you may get the uniline building up. Everything will fall underneath you.

Everything is great. Everything is dandy. But unless you understand the principle of focusing on personal results, you will never make it in this industry, never. And that was one of the biggest lessons I've had. So what do I mean by this?

Learn how to sell. Learn how to do what it takes to make a sell. Now the cool thing is the training, the products that we offer, teach you exactly how to do that. The calls that you're on right now, you can utilize to do that for you. You see what I'm saying?

So literally, you just need to learn how to introduce people to calls like this, introduce people to videos that we produce as a company, to sales systems. The better you can get at that in making personal sales, which we help you with, the more money you're going to make. And then here's what's cool is once you understand that, you can write your own paycheck. You don't have to rely on duplication. You can make a full-time income inside of our company by personal sales.

You can. People have proven it. I have done it for years. It wasn't until this last year that I started focusing on team, the last couple years. The first couple years, it was all personal.

The last couple years have been more team-focused. And now with our new Uniline, where everybody... falling underneath each other, the beautiful thing is when I produce more, I am helping you. How cool is that? So the more I produce, now that I know that, I'm like, man, it makes me more excited to produce.

I'm like, I want to go bring in 20 people a day, because then I know if I bring in 20 people a day, I'm helping you bring 20 people a day. So it really excites the leaders. It excites the team. It excites the company. We are all here to help each other.

We're all here to build each other up. And now we're building a team together, but you need to focus on personal results, and then team duplication will be a bonus. And when you realize that, you are going to be able to write your own paycheck. The last lesson I want to share with you, and then I'll bring out our special guest that I heard was on the line, is daily method of operation. So when I got started on my business, I didn't really know what I needed to do.

But what I decided was like, okay, in the military, we had a set schedule to do things. We're like, okay, we get up at this time. We do this. We get our trucks ready. PMCS, those of you in the Army probably know what that means.

Those of you not can ask me privately. You do that on your vehicle. You get everything up and running. You get out on your mission. You do all that.

You get back. You go to the gym, take a shower, go call the wife, and go to sleep. And that was our routine every day. We had a routine every day, and it was successful. So when I came back, and I was like, you know what?

I'm going to treat my business like the military. I'm just going to be – I'm going to do something every single day. You know, like they call it PMCS on our vehicles. I'm going to do that on our business. Make sure it's running right.

Make sure things are moving along. You know, make sure that it's not going to break down on me. Okay? And we do that for our business. So the couple things that I do in the morning is I read 30 minutes.

I listen to audios while I'm on the exercise bike every now and then. I haven't done the exercise bike in a while, but that's typically where I like to – I bought this thousand-dollar exercise bike. I definitely need to use it more. But I like to multi-task. So I like to do exercising.

I like to walk. Like so for example, I get up, read, listen to audios. Then like for example, then I'll go on CrossFit is what I do. And then after the gym, I go on a walk and I do a Periscope, which is just the same thing as like a video. And the video is meant for my marketing.

So I'm doing marketing and I'm walking at the same time. I'm multi-tasking. I have a set thing that I do every single day. I get back and I send out the email and I send out the Periscope. Text it out to my text list.

Just the different things that I do. So I have a marketing plan. So here's what's on my marketing plan. Grow, get leads, convert sales. Grow, get leads, convert sales.

So focusing every day on growing. Focusing on every day on getting some kind of lead. And that could be it through Facebook chat or it can be through solo ads. Whatever your marketing method is. Converting sales, that's like emailing your list.

That's giving a bonus. Following up with a prospect from Facebook. Things of that nature. And if you put those three things every day, and you're growing as an entrepreneur every day, you're generating leads every day, and you start focusing on converting sales every day, Empower Network is going to be a breeze for you. You will make it happen.

You will make it work. You don't have to have a master's degree because Empower Network is your master's degree. We will give you a master's degree in internet marketing in this company. We'll give you a master's degree on how to build the business. So the beautiful thing is with all the clubs, with all the things that Empower launched at this last event, you don't need anything else.

You don't have to go $100K in debt like I did. You can literally get started for as low as $7, I believe, or $17. I don't remember the exact trial price on the page. But the bottom line is you can get started right now for a two-week trial and see if you like it. And be committed though.

And you can get started and be on your way to making money with this company. So anyway, my friend, I appreciate you. I appreciate you for listening to my story. I hope that I was able to explain the benefits and why this company is so powerful. And I look forward to seeing you guys at the next event.

So with that, back to you, Chris, or Dave, or whoever's coming on next. All right, Hobbs. That's an awesome story, man. And I appreciate you so much for coming on and being able to share that with everyone. That was amazing.

And it's just funny, like every time I hear it, I learn more, honestly. And I find something that there's always a little bit of a different thing to it. And so really appreciate you coming on, donating your time. And like I said, everyone, this is the kind of thing where we have leaders in this community that are willing to volunteer their time to be able to teach you the things that make them successful, just like tonight. And so like we said, I mean, it's a $7 to a $17, whatever, I think, trial to be able to get inside there for a couple weeks and see from the club-level trainings, you know, where you'll be able to get in there and live and ask questions and get step-by-step checklists.

So these are the things that get back with the person who sent you this call so they can get you on the inside. And so with that, I want to do one last thing, which is we have a special guest coming on. For those of you who are here for the first time, we actually have the company owner himself, Mr. David Wood. Are you there, bud?

David Wood Yeah, I am. How are you doing? Andy Hait Pretty awesome night, huh? David Wood Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've just been sitting back and listening to Mike Hobbs.

And it's a beautiful story, you know what I mean? And that's the thing that I love about getting on these calls is the stories, the victories, you know? Not just victories from people who have been around for a while like Mike, but the victories of all the new people that represents. And so, Mike, thank you. I wanted to tell you, and I don't know, he's probably muted out, but I wanted to tell you how much of a blessing you are, not just to my life, but also to the lives of everybody listening, also the lives of everybody on the call.

And how much you bless people tonight, because I want everybody here to just understand something. When Mike is sharing what he's done, he's not bragging. He's sharing vision, right? He's sharing what he's accomplished. He's sharing what's possible.

He's sharing what you can do. He's sharing what you can step into if you just make a decision. And a lot of you are on the call, and maybe you don't even really know what this is, but you were invited here in an email, or a phone call, or with a text, or maybe you just clicked on a link in Facebook, and you're watching this on the internet. But however you got here, and whoever you are, I just wanted to welcome you here, because I've only got one goal, and I'm not going to speak for probably a long time, but you never know when I get on here. I've got one goal, and that's to inspire you with vision, to inspire you with hope, to inspire you with a new future, to help you see the possibility of where this is going to go, and to help you to make the decision not to get in, not to buy something.

I want to help you make the decision to step into that vision with us, to step into that future with us, to accomplish those incredible results with us. And just assume, as I'm speaking with everything that comes out of my mouth, that there's a three-dimensional hologram of an income disclosure floating in front of you, displaying our average numbers, or you can actually go to our site, EmpowerNetwork.com forward slash income, because I'm actually not going to be sharing average stories here. I'm going to be sharing things that I believe are extraordinary, because that's what I want you to step into. I want you to step into not an average life, but an extraordinary life, which you can do if you decide to commit to the process, and you decide to be on these calls, and you decide to listen to the strategies that we're going to teach you. You can accomplish things that you've never been able to accomplish ever, ever in the past, and that's my belief.

That's what I see in the future. That's what I believe we're stepping into in the future. I believe that we've seen a small manifestation of that in the last couple of weeks with the incredible growth numbers that we've had, but I'm just telling you guys who are on this call, there's something special about you, and here's what it is. You're in the right place at the right time, and you are here for a reason. I believe that if you're listening to this call, I believe that if you sat all the way through my top story, or maybe you just popped on.

I don't know what you got on here. I'm just telling you something. I'm telling you something. You're hearing this for a reason, and that reason is important. So just for the next few minutes, I want you to pay attention.

That's the number one thing. Number two thing I want you to do is I want you to just mark down on your calendar Monday night at 9 p.m. Eastern time, and no matter what, every week, look, if you're in, I'm speaking to the people that are in. I'm also speaking to the people that are just checking this out. Here's what I want you to do.

I want you to dial into this call every week for the next 52 weeks. Just call in and listen. If you're driving, or if you're walking, or if you're exercising, whatever it is you're doing, you can listen to this in your downtime. That's why we do a phone call and not a webinar on Monday nights. And I want you to just hear the transformation week by week by week by week that's happening in Empower Network over the next 12 months, over the next 52 weeks, as we step into a future where in the fall of this next year, we will walk into an auditorium with 5,000 to 7,000 people.

We will end up having 5,000, then 10,000, then 20,000, then 50,000 people on these calls, and we're going to have to build new technology to fit them all. And you guys are going to see amazing things. If you're just going to stick with us, if you're going to run with us, this will be the best year of your life. And that's what I'm here to do, is I'm here to declare a new future over you. You know, when I got started in this company, I didn't really get started in it.

I kind of started it. But I like to say I got started in it, and here's why. It's because I believe that's how vision works when something's going to really build and prosper. I think it's something that's kind of given to you from somewhere. And the vision of Empower Network came to me from a legitimate desire to help people like my cops, a legitimate desire to help people like Chris Rushlow, a legitimate desire to help people that are just like you.

I wanted to create a company that's going to be here. I wanted to create a company that has actual vision and real products and actually can get you paid for doing something that's transformative. I wanted to start a company. You know what? Here's the truth.

I didn't actually want to start a company. You're like, what? You just messed up your story. Yeah, yeah, I did mess it up, and here's why. Because I actually want to tell you how this company started and where I came from, because I never had the desire to run a company.

But I'm a servant, right? I'm here to serve my team. I'm here to lift people up. I'm here to transform people. I'm not here to get more rich and then more rich and then more rich and then more rich and then more rich and then more rich and then more rich.

In fact, I just want to give a lot of money away. I want to make a lot of money so I can feed a lot of kids. I want to make a lot of money so I can create transformations in the world. I want to make a lot of money so I can be a giver in society and I can lift people up and I can take care of the poor. I want to make a lot of money.

You know why? So I can do cool stuff like what Silvio does with his team where he buys cars and they drive it down to Africa and they give away food to children. I want to make a lot of money so I can help a lot of people prosper more and prosper bigger. And you know what? In the process, we can all buy some cool, nice stuff.

So here's why I'm wanting to share this story because I want you to understand where this is coming from. So 2009, I've been involved in this industry for seven years on flat on my face. And it was like seven years of failure. And you guys, if you've been around, you've heard my story lots, but just listen to this for a second because it's useful. The seventh year is 2009, right?

I'm 28 years old and I'm living in a van. I was so broke I couldn't even afford a place to live. And then I couldn't get a job because you need an address to get a job, so I couldn't make more money from a job. So I was trying to change my life and I just totally ran out of money and moved back in my parents' house up in Fairbanks, Alaska to use their internet connection to start an online business. I struggled for a few months.

And then I ran into the principles of marketing that we teach, the principles that we actually teach you being involved in our community. And I ran into a way of doing them that wasn't quite like we're teaching now because the way that we're teaching now has advanced over the years. It's gotten way better than what everybody else is doing. We've done a lot more sales. We've created a lot more prosperity.

And the reason is because we do things differently. But I stumbled across some things that really helped me out a lot. In fact, actually that month I made like 30 grand. And I had a week where I made like 21 grand from just selling one thing. And I had multiple income streams coming in.

And I just had these massive breakthrough after breakthrough after breakthrough after breakthrough. And I always had this dream where it's like we always talk about going and living on the beaches of the world, sinking your toes into the hot sand. Imagine in a day where you're sitting on the beach holding a coconut as you're feeling the weight of the water taking a sip out. And somebody just ran up a coconut tree like a wild animal and tacked it off with a machete. And you're holding that coconut in your hand looking out over the blue ocean waves rolling in from the sea.

And as you're looking at the waves and hearing the sound of the ocean drinking and sipping out of a coconut, commissions are being deposited in your bank account because of what you did not then, but before. That my friends is the residual lifestyle. It's the ability not to be the richest person in the world, but it's the ability to do what you want and get paid for it. Now listen to me when I'm saying that. It's not the ability to go out and work like crazy and get paid.

You can do that too. It's the ability to get paid for what you did before and the people you helped before and to continue to get paid for it no matter what you're doing now. So if you wake up in the morning and you want to study martial arts like me, you have a private kung fu professor come to your house, you do martial arts for an hour and a half, you get paid. If you want to go on a mission trip, you go on a mission trip and you get paid. And you don't have to go around begging people in your church to give you money like most people have to do.

If you want to go and feed people in the community, you go feed people in the community and you get paid. It's like you're making more money when you're doing whatever you want. If you want to go take off for a while, explore your fantasies, write a book and try to be a best-selling author or go pursue that passion of yours, then you go write your book. And you don't have to beg for some sort of book deal from a book company because you can write while you're getting paid from the residual income that you created. You can pursue your passions.

You can go snowboarding in the mountains. You can move to the beaches of the world. You can step into a future. You can be on a yacht fishing with your friends and with your buddies telling stories. And as that happens, you've got commissions coming to you because of what you did before.

That, my friends, is the residual lifestyle. So you can actually build a business in a way where money's coming to you and you're not really doing anything except for you're getting paid and doing whatever you want. That, my friends, is the dream, right? Here we've got all these people running around chasing a dollar or two, walking around in Walmart talking about the dream. And here we've got these people on the internet doing things in a new way.

And you're listening to this call. And I'm telling you something. This year, I'm telling you something here, my friends. This year is a breakthrough year. And you guys are going to see bigger things this year than you've ever seen from Power Network.

Mark my words. It is happening right now. It's why I've got so much passion in my heart. It's not because of what happened before. It's because of the breakthroughs that are happening right now.

It's not because of the checks that people make before. It's because of the bigger checks that people are getting right now. It's not because of the stories like Mike Hobbs. It's because the stories like Mike Hobbs who built a few years before are going to have a thousand new stories come up in his team because of the people like you that are listening in to this call, paying attention, and taking massive action, stepping into your dream. Right?

That's what this is about. So I want you to pay attention to it. So I'm here. And I, of course, do what I say. You know, like, fancy that.

It's like I make all this money on the internet. You know, it's like all these people. It's like they make all this money. And they're like, hey, I'm going to talk about this dream. And then it's like they just get burdened with more phone calls and more work and like more stuff to do as time goes by.

It's like, hey, where's this dream that you were talking about a few years before? They're like, I don't got time for that. I'm on a three-way call with somebody's grandma again. You know? And it's not like phone calls are bad.

I used to think so. And they're not. It's that for heaven's sake, let's go do what we're preaching. You know what I mean? If we're going to go out there and we're going to teach people to be free, I wanted to create a company that empowers people to be free.

I wanted to create a company that empowers people to actually step into that dream. I want to create a company that empowers people. It's like they see the light at the end of the tunnel. And all the time, there's this big long tunnel. But I want to create a company where you see the light at the end of the tunnel.

But then you step out of the tunnel into the light. That's what this is about. It's about stepping into your dream, my friend. So if you're listening to this call, you're in the right place at the right time. Because here's the funniest, weirdest thing in the world.

I'm the company owner. And you know what? I don't even know your name. And here I am. And I'm going to tell you something.

No matter how ridiculous it sounds, I promise you it's true. And here's what I'm going to tell you. I love you. You're like, hey, David, that was kind of quirky. You know, you can't tell me you love me.

You know, I'm another man. Hey, I love you. And you know what? I'm touching your nipple too. But you know what?

The reality is, is I'm on this call and I'm telling you that I love you. Why? Because I love you enough to do whatever it takes to have the company that needs to be here, that's going to be here in 10 years, that's going to be able to provide you and your family a future to be able to build the life, not of my dreams, but of your dreams. Because my dream is not to step into a bigger castle. My dream is to build the castle in your future.

My dream is to help you make more money than my cobs making right now and help my cobs get their own private jet. My dream is to create a company so big that we're creating so many millionaires that I can't remember their names, even though I've got a trained memory. My dream is to create so many people hitting all the ranks in Empower Network. I'm telling you none of us will be able to remember who they are. There will be stadiums of people all around the world filled with people sharing languages you don't speak all because I stepped out and I said, you know what?

I want to do something bigger. So you're here and you're on this call and I wanted to thank you for being here because for heaven's sakes, I love you and I'm touching your nipples with my mind. And you know what? I want to tell you, you know what I want to tell you? You can do this.

But listen to my cobs. You're not listening to somebody who's ranting and raving and screaming and pounding his chest like me. You're listening to a guy that just wanted a better life. That was just like, man, this is not the life of my dreams. Man, my wife left me because of this.

Because of this life, this system. Here I am. Here's a man who's serving his country, laying his life on the line, right? Laying his life on the line, right? Now that's love, ain't it?

Right? Greater love has laying down his life for his friends, and his wife leaves him. And he says, you know what? No more. This isn't why I'm doing this.

This isn't why I'm serving the people. This isn't why I'm traveling across the world. You know what? I want to be free. I want a life of freedom.

And doesn't he deserve it? Man, how many people out there have been in the military, or have gotten some sort of injury at war or something, and they can't get normal jobs anymore. And here we've got a guy, right, who's done it. Guys, we have something so cool, it's unbelievable. So anyway, if I'm going to make all this money, I'm going to make it for a while.

Then I just got dissatisfied, right? Now, I didn't get dissatisfied because of the money I was making, because I just didn't care anymore. You know what I mean? It's like when you just don't really care what kind of car you drive, so you get a nice one that can drive well, right? And you've got a nice house that's redonkulous, and you spend money in surrogates, and you're like, you just don't care much.

Now, some people, they just want more, and more, and more, and more. And I'm going to be honest with you, I don't really get it, right? I don't really get it. If you're just wanting a lot of money to just go spend money on more stuff, you know what I mean? It's like your prostitute bill can only get so big.

I mean, for heaven's sake, let's create something that gives to other people. You say some weird stuff. I do say weird stuff. You want to know why? Because I'm weird.

You're like, why are you so weird? Because I haven't had a job in like six years, man. I like wander around in my house spaced out all day just thinking about ideas. And I've created this army of people that believe in this grand vision. Why?

Because I believe in it. And so I've got like this amazingly blessed and prosperous life. And you know what? You do that for a few years, drinking out of coconuts as commissions are depositing themselves in your bank account, and you get a little weird drink. So in any case, I'm just satisfied, right?

And so I want to do something where I'm lifting people up. It's like what I'm doing can't get big enough. All these people are focused on is selling stuff. I couldn't even believe it, right? Now, if you're on the page, I'm focused on selling stuff too, but it's different because I don't want you to just buy it.

Yeah, go out and pull out your credit card and buy it. That's the first step, but that ain't where the last step, that ain't where it ends, you know what? Because if you're not supposed to do this, and you find out in a week, you're like, I don't like, you know, Scott told me to do it, and then he told me not to do it like two years later. It's like, okay, fine, just get your money back and go away. Go do something else.

It's not, you know, go join Amway, or go join Attraction Marketing System, or go do something else. Right? And you know what? It's fine. We love you.

Go. You know what I mean? I'm speaking to the people that actually want something, like my cops. You know, here's a guy, and he's just been consistent for the last few years. He's gone from company to company to company to company, looking for the natural solution, probably like you've done, and maybe you're doing that right now.

And then what did he do? He found somebody else with a vision. He found somebody else with a dream. He found somebody else that wanted to serve people. He found somebody else that wanted to speak life into people.

He found somebody else, and at first it was just one, and then that one turned into many, and that many turned into armies, and now my cop, he's still leading an army, but instead of leading an army of war, he's leading an army who's going out inspiring the world to get free on their own. He's going out and leading an army that's leading people to liberty. He's going out and leading an army of empowerment without empowerment to the people. That's what he's doing now. Still the same thing.

He's still in the front lines of life. It's amazing. So, anyways, I don't want to start a company because it's lots of work, you know? And I'm like this person that, like, I had this dream to, like, go be lazy and stuff, and here I am being lazy and making lots of money, so the last thing on my mind was to start a company. I have people all the time that hit me up on Facebook, and they're like, you inspired me to start my own company.

I'm like, I don't know how that works, but go for it. You know, if you have this vision, then go. And most of the time they go out of business because they're not really doing it for the people. They're doing it to make money, and they don't realize it's actually better in most cases to be a rat unless you really, really, really are willing to go to your near death to keep a company around, right? That's why companies go out of businesses because it's actually a lot of work, right?

You've got to have employees. You've got to surround yourself with talented people. You've got to deal with ups and downs. You've got to really just have a vision that's so big that's going to break through whatever obstacles the universe is going to throw at you, and that's what I've done because I really want to serve people, right? I really want to help more people like Mike Hodge.

I really want to help more people like Lauren Tan. I really want to help more people like Tracy Walker, you know, single moms like Serena Cleves, right? I want to help more people like Rhonda and Brian to move out into their dream location in the world and inspire people to become unstoppable, right? I want to help more people like Alex and Anna earn a million dollars and quit their job working for some stupid magazine. I want to help more people who want to step out of this trap the world is in, and I want to help people that are just like you.

And you know what? If it ain't you, that's fine. You can get off the call, but if it is you, and if you're starting to get a little bit of a fire inside your heart, if you're starting to believe in a little bit of a bigger future, and maybe you don't even know why, if you're all of a sudden lighting up on the inside because you're listening and you're saying, here's a company owner that has a heart like my heart. Here's a company owner that believes in the people. Here's a company owner that has a vision that's bigger than just a checkbook.

Here's a company owner that believes in it so much he'll go for a year without making money to serve the people. Here's a company owner that doesn't just want money for himself. Here's a company owner that's made a vow. I'm going to give half my money away to feed kids. And you know why I'm doing it?

Because I just freaking love people. I think they're awesome. And there's not enough rich people in the world. I've got to have some friends. We've got to be able to travel on private jets together and stuff like that.

And so if you're one of those people that want something bigger, then I want something bigger out of you because I believe that I can inspire you. I believe that I can empower you. And you know why I can? It's not because I'm better than you. Because I ain't better than you.

And that's precisely why I can lead you to where I am. Because I ain't better. I just went before. That's why. So anyways, I'm walking to the mountains one day, right?

I'm walking to the mountains. I'm walking to the mountains. And I'm frustrated for months. And I'm like, I cannot help people with these visions, aren't they? I've got this big dream.

It's like this fish. I see these armies of people and I've got to help them somehow. Chris has known me for years. He can talk to you about it. I've been talking about this forever.

And I see myself going around the world inspiring people. It's not big enough. It's not big enough. It needs something bigger. And all of a sudden, it's like, bam!

The company downloads in my brain. The entire network, right? I never wanted to do this, but you know what? I did want to have my mission. I did want to serve people.

I did want to help 100 people a year go down. I want to help 100 million people become millionaires a year. I want to help people move to the beaches of the world. I wanted to help people who just get on a call like this and they don't even know why they dialed in. They just felt some sort of urge to pick up the phone for the first time ever and dialed in and then to join.

And then a few years later, we're giving them a million dollar ring and they're like, I didn't even know what I was doing. I heard that guy yelling and screaming. I'm like, man, this is bad. I'm in. I wanted to help people like you.

And so we got all these people in power that have created these amazing stories. You know the best part about these stories is when you do something great, you have critics pop up and it's so hilarious and they criticize it. Then they just vanish. And you just stay strong, moving in your visions, rolling game momentum towards the future, gathering more people, gathering more success, gathering more stories. And here we are still and we're standing strong.

And you know what? You can have confidence in if you're in this car. Paul, you know what? This isn't a company that's just been here for a day. We've been here for four years and we're just entering into another phase of momentum that's bigger than the first one that did $150 million in sales and created $15 million.

We've done more sales than that now. We're entering in right now. And this isn't, by the way, I'm talking about how we've only hit 2% market penetration, like you see in the presentations of companies that have been there for 30 years. I'm talking in the last month, our numbers have multiplied by like five times. That five times, we just created this placement system where you getting in right now is locking you in a spot, right, that's getting you in a good place.

And our company is setting you up for the tidal wave of momentum going. And if you're on this call and you're listening and you're even thinking about getting in, you should be panicking with your heartbeat as you're pulling out your credit card, right? And look, if you want to get out, then get out in a week and get your money back and give your spot to somebody who actually wants to work for their future. That's fine. I'm not going to make money.

I'm not going to call you names, because you know what, I'm going to bless you on your way out. You can go. You know what I mean? But if you're on this call and you're even thinking about it, you need to just lock in your spot. You need to pull out your credit card and buy.

You need to say, you know what, I am doing something. And stop being so flaky. And by flaky, I'm not insulting you. You know why I'm telling you that? It's because if you don't stop doing it, you're never going to prosper.

There's so many people that get in a deal and out of a deal and in a deal and out of a deal and in a deal and out of a deal. There's people that joined when Lawrence Tam joined, and they're gone when he's earned a couple million. There's people that joined when Aaron Rash can join, and they got out and earned a million times. There's people that joined when Tracy Walker joined that were just as talented, and they got in and they got out the first trouble they had. Here Tracy Walker is, riding around in her yacht with her team.

You know what I'm saying? Guys, there are people who will get in, and there are people who will get out. That's why we have an average earnings disclosure. What's it for? It's for all the people that get out, so we can say, hey, just don't join right now.

Save yourself. Save yourself the pain, right? I'm not talking to you. I'm not talking to them. I'm talking to you.

I'm talking to you, and who are you? Well, here's what I'm guessing you are if you're still on this call. You're somebody that's got a dream. You're somebody that's in a situation, and you want out of it. There's somebody on this call who lives in a van like I did.

I can see it. I know there's somebody on the call who is. There's somebody on this call right now who's been in a cubicle all day, and you just hate it, and you want out. That cubicle is no different for you than a jail is for a prisoner. There's somebody on this call.

There's somebody on this call. You wanted to be a professional athlete before, and you failed at it for whatever reason, or you couldn't get there or whatever, or you didn't get drafted, and you've been looking for a way to be out there and inspire a crowd of people, and that was your real dream, and you're here, and we can help you do that. There's somebody on this call right now. Right now, you're a single mom. You're struggling to be able to pay the bills to be able to feed your kids, and you know what?

Here you are, and we can speak life into you, and we can give you a new dream, and you can do what 3 Please is doing. Am I guaranteeing you're going to make money? No, right? I'm just telling you. Look, we're here for you, right?

There's somebody on this call right now. You've never done this before, but you just have something in your heart that's pounding that's saying, you know what? This sounds awesome, and you don't even know why, but you're getting in right now. Lock it into your spot. Welcome to the team.

Congratulations, right? There's somebody on here right now who's been in for a long time. You've been in for ages. You've been sitting around for ages. You've been at all the conference halls for ages.

You've been looking for the secret for ages, and all of a sudden, you just have a realization, and the realization is this, that there ain't no secret. The secret is having a dream. The secret is having a real vision, and all of a sudden, you feel the vision coming into your heart. You feel a fire coming in the inside. You don't even know why.

It's like your arms are tingling, and you're standing up, and you're saying, you know what? It's time for me. If we're going to fill a room of 50,000 people, that right now, it's time for me. If we're growing by 600% in a few weeks, right now is my time to grow by 600%. If Lauren's dad is going to go out there, and he's going to be in a cubicle and get out of the cubicle, and he's going to fight his way to freedom, then I'm going to fight my way to freedom.

If this man can have a vision, I can have a vision, too. If Dave Blunt can do it, I can do it, too. If Eric Raskin can do it, then I can do it. And that's right. You can.

That's right. You can. You can do it. You're like, what the hell are you talking about? It doesn't matter.

Just get in. It's just you're losing the spot. You've got to keep going. You know what I mean? Here's what I see in the future, guys.

I see ourselves. We're in an auditorium. We're there, right? And there's so many people out there that you're looking out, you're peeking out there, right, from backstage, and there's just this army of people, and they're cheering. The clapping is like thunder because there's so many.

You've never even heard an auditorium like this. It's just thunder in the room, right? We've got to give Chris Rushlow. He's there. He's up on stage introducing me.

You're watching me walk out, right? And you see that this room is so big, it's like an auditorium where you can see through to the sky. There's stars that are shining down between the lines, and we're looking out, and you're backstage with me. And you know what you're saying? You're saying, I was on a conference call, 2015, November, and Dave Wood told me this would happen.

And you look out, and I step out on that stage, and there's like a fire that thunders through the audience because it's just my friends. Ben, our first year that we had 100 new millionaires. A few years before, we had 100 diamonds. It took a few years to pan out, and this was the first year. And you're looking out like a light shining into the auditorium as the million dollar rings raise their hands into the sky, the lights from the top of the auditorium glistening off of the rings.

And you're there watching, and you're saying, it is possible because I believed, because I had faith in the future, because for some reason, I had a vision come into my heart supernaturally. I started to light up on the inside. At night, I started to dream dreams about the future. I started to wake up thinking about going diamond. I started to drive to work not even worried about it, knowing that I'd be able to walk out of there.

And I started seeing the day when I broke free of that cubicle. I started seeing the day when I moved out of the van into a mansion. I started seeing the day when I stopped struggling to pay my bills for my kids, and I stepped out in front of that stage, and I'm getting my million dollar ring as a single mom. I started to see the day where I was walking out there thundering in front of the room. I began to see the day as the light had stretched out, as I started to get a vision about the future.

And all of a sudden, everything in my life started to change. I started to market with a new kind of an energy. I started to sell with a little different kind of passion. I started to see into a different kind of a future that like looking into the galaxy like the Hubble Space Telescope with galaxies glistening in the background. So are the million dollar rings that are raised up into the sky with the light glistening off them as I stare into the future and said, I was there the day he talked about this, and it has happened!

And we, my friends, will go into a better future than that, because that's just the beginning. Why? Because this is not here, because I got a big ego about it. You know, I got an ego that I gotta fight all the time, and that's the truth about being a human being. But you know why this is here?

This is here because of one thing, because I love it. Because I love you and I'm here to serve you. I'm here to lift you up. I'm here to empower you to get free. I'm here to help you have a transformation on the inside, because 100 millionaires a year is not about money.

100 millionaires a year is about the spiritual transformations. 100 millionaires a year is about people flowing, flowing with prosperity. 100 millionaires a year is about people who are transformed, and it's like there's a supernatural blessing on them. And all of a sudden they start prospering. It's got people who are breaking free from like families who have been poor for generations upon generations and nobody's ever believed in a great future.

And all of a sudden somebody just picked up a call and they were so poor and tears were streaming down their face. And you know, and you know who you are, because you feel it on the inside. Because it's like there's a fire coming right from my voice to you, and you feel that you will be in that room and that you will lift your hand in the air and then you will feel the platinum ring on your hand glistening against the lights in the sky and you will see the rooms grow from that as they grow from 50,000 and 100,000 and we'll have rooms of hundreds of thousands of people scattered in different tongues and languages across the world with people in each auditory with translamps set to their ears listening in languages that you don't speak because you were in that band and you stepped up and you said my past does equal my future!
