Peter Sorensen: Leadership Mastermind Dinner

All righty, everyone, welcome to our special Tuesday night Team Take Massive Action call. This is Peter Sorensen, Team Take Massive Action co-founder. I want to acknowledge each and every one of you on our very, very special call tonight. If you hear some background noise, I'm actually calling you, calling in live from the Tampa, St. Pete, Florida area, home office of Empower Network, our amazing company, community, and movement.

Myself, along with Arthur Tubman and Chris Record are here. I've been here the last couple of days for a very, very special private leadership retreat and mastermind. About the top 15 or 20 leaders of Empower Network are here, along with the co-founders, Dave and Dave, hanging out, masterminding, planning an amazing event in Austin coming up this next year, along with some big things for the company. And our intention of the call tonight is going to be a very kind of special, impromptu. We're going to go into training and just kind of call, hearing from different leaders of Empower Network, leaders from our team, and really just sharing a story, what's happening, the movement.

We're income earners, and 30-plus people made seven figures in 2013. Can we do a tithing of $745? It is going to be a huge opportunity. So, with that, I'm going to go ahead and take a moment to connect and introduce you guys all, who you all know, our co-founder and leader, Chris Record. Chris has been doing some phenomenal things on our team, guys.

And just so you know, all of the people, everyone on the team, for being on the team, for taking action, for those of you that have already been on the team, for those of you that have already gone all in, that are part of our master's co-op, congratulations. We're going to take a moment, but, you know, we've been out here in Hampton, Florida, at the mastermind retreat, and it's been an incredible experience to really hear from different leaders, their stories, what they're doing, what we're doing on a big level with the company to be able to take action, to create some phenomenal results now, changing the bat in Austin, and really kick off a big, big event. He is just absolutely crushing it. Literally, guys, over 20,000 in the first 10 days. No, when you think that, baby. $15,000 in the first 10 days of his business.

No. Bigger mentor and business partner of mine, so with that, it's a Chris here, and I'm happy to share with you guys for a few. So with that, Chris, you're there. Hi, Chris Record here. Thanks, Peter, for that introduction.

Hopefully you guys can hear me a little more clear. I just walked outside. This restaurant is absolutely packed. And you know what? We are so fired up.

I just want to just take a couple minutes here before we pass the phone around. But what I want to share is that I didn't even really have a clue as to what was happening this week. I just know I got an email invite if I wanted to come out to corporate headquarters and check things out. And I didn't even really think I could come because I got my wife and the two kids there. So I didn't even really bother.

And I kind of told them that it wasn't going to work. And then at the last minute, we just decided to make it happen. I actually flew one of my wife's friends out to spend a few days with her and the kids. Sorry, you guys. I'm coughing a little bit here.

So I flew somebody out so they could hang with my wife and the kids, and I decided to come out here. Now, I tell you, my expectation, I didn't even know what to expect. So I get on the flight. First of all, it's all booked. It's all taken care of, and it's all first class.

So the first thing is just the company takes care of people. It was all booked first class. All of us flew out first class. Just super top-of-the-notch treatment. Everything was awesome.

And in my flight, I went to Houston. I flew from Sacramento to Houston. When I was in Houston, I transferred planes. And when I transferred planes, I saw David Wood, who was actually in line for that flight. So I'm sitting there.

I'm going, hey, this is awesome. I sit with David Wood for a minute, and we end up sitting right next to each other the whole flight from Houston to Florida. So I'm like sitting here going, okay, this can't get better. I'm on a flight randomly.

He ended up in Houston. I ended up in Houston. We just happened to be on the flight together without even knowing it. We flew out, spent the whole entire time just brainstorming, networking, telling stories, just having fun. And I still don't even know what to expect for this trip.

So I get in, and Arthur Tubman's here. Peter Sorensen's here. They flew in first class as well, all expense-paid trip. But for really just no reason other than let's just mastermind. It wasn't like any incentive.

It wasn't a reward. It wasn't a bonus. It was just like, hey, let's get some leaders together and mastermind. It's just super cool. So we get in, and we're staying at this resort.

And just each one of us, they got each one of us a suite, just like a big old massive suite with multiple rooms, views of the ocean, views of pools everywhere. We're sitting here going crazy, first class flights, resort stay and everything for really for no reason other than just to come out and brainstorm. They just felt like it. They just felt like helping out. So we basically are out here.

I still don't know what to expect, right? So all the leaders are getting together, masterminding, having a blast, having a lot of fun. One thing leads to another, and we start just sharing strategies. And all the other leaders are sharing like in-depth strategies, totally in-depth. Here's exactly what they're doing with their team.

Here's exactly how they're building their lists. These are the exact advertising strategies. These are the lead capture pages, the landing pages, just openly sharing. Here's what they're having their assistants do. Here's this, here's that, and just nuggets of information I'd never believe that they would so openly share.

I mean, everybody was just so abundant. Some of these leaders are making several hundred thousand dollars a month with all their businesses combined. Okay, so it just gets crazy. Now, get this. Today, we got to go to Empower Network's corporate office.

They have a new corporate office in Tampa. We got a little tour. And, you know, my expectation was pretty simple, right? It's a website. Empower Network's a website with digital products.

So, of course, you're going to have a couple of customer support people. You're going to have maybe a couple of website designers, something like that. So, I kind of envisioned a small office, maybe 10 or 15 people. We go to this office, and it's like two stories of floors filled with people. There was like 50 or 60 employees all over the place, the whole entire customer service division all put together.

They're having a training room where they're training all these new employees. They're hiring people literally as fast as they can. They've got entire legal stuff, compliance stuff, stuff you wouldn't even imagine. And I'm sitting there realizing, holy smokes, this is not just a website with a couple of crazy Internet marketers and scheming on the Internet. This is a full-blown company.

They're building this company out to be a $100 million company, a $500 million company, a billion-dollar company. They're building it out big time. They're putting their money behind this. They're reinvesting heavily back into the business. Back into legal, back into compliance, back into new products, new systems, new funnels, new pages, you name it.

And this is like you haven't seen anything yet. This is the beginning of something monumental. This is the beginning of something that they want to take to the whole next level. If anybody's had their doubt about the longevity of Empower Network, I can remove that doubt for you right now. I mean, they are just getting started.

They just put together this powerful office. They're just putting all this stuff together, and it is phenomenal. And here's the thing. You might think people like David Wood and David Sharp, you might look at David Wood and go, okay, this guy's a little loopy. He's a little crazy.

He's a little loopy. He's kind of insane, right? So really, is he really putting this together? But I'll tell you, he is. That's his personality.

He totally is kind of the crazy, wild guy. But they're smart enough to have a team behind them, a corporate team, who is by the book. These guys walking around with clipboards. These guys making sure every single thing happens on time, specific details. The people that are running the corporate team at the office are running it like a Fortune 500 company.

This thing is just dialed in, whiteboards on all the walls, everything perfectly outlined exactly when people are showing up, when people are leaving, when the appointments are. I mean, they've already got the Austin conference dialed down like by the minute exactly what's going to happen there. They've got everything dialed down for the website. They're looking at even new merchant processing systems, so more orders go through. They're solidifying this whole entire thing to make this one of the biggest direct sales companies in the world.

I had no idea. I honestly had no idea. I've been building this very, very part-time, a couple hours a day on the side of a job and a busy family. I had no idea that it was really going to be this big.

I don't even think a lot of the other leaders did either. And it's crazy big. And I'll tell you right now, you know the old cliche that you're in the right place at the right time? Well, I'm going to tell you something right now, okay? I've used that line a bunch of times in other businesses.

And you know, I think it's one of those lines that sounds sexy, but are you ever really in the right place at the right time? Well, listen to this. I'm part-time in this business, right? And this month, it's been 11 days. And I'll tell you.

It's crazy. Here's why. Because momentum is happening, and because sales are starting to happen, and things are starting to happen. We're going to be putting together co-ops and paid traffic. Me and Arthur and Peter are brainstorming all these new things.

We're learning from all the other leaders, figuring out how we can bring this to the table. So if you are looking for a reason to get freaking fired up, just crazy fired up, ready to go all in, ready to take massive action, ready to take your business serious, this is the reason to go all in. It is about to get big. It is about to get crazy, okay? There's just no need for me to hype it up.

I was already excited before coming out here. I'm telling you this is real. This is me coming outside, being honest, being transparent, and telling you big, big things are going to happen. Some of them we can share. Some of them we can't yet.

But big things are going to happen, and you do not want to miss this massive wave of momentum that's going to happen because you're unsure or because you're not all in or because you're not committed to the business. You do not want to miss this wave. You absolutely want to position yourself in front of it. So with that being said, I'm out here with so many leaders, right? Me and Peter and Arthur came out.

You heard Peter in the beginning. It was pretty loud. So I had Arthur come outside here to join me where he could be quiet for a minute and talk to you. What we're going to do is this. I'm going to frame this call so you understand what's going to happen.

I'm going to bring out Arthur for a minute. Arthur is going to share with you a little bit of his experience, what he's experienced out here. And then he's going to basically pull Peter back on. Peter will share a little bit. But we've got this table of leaders.

And they're all ordering their food right now. What we're going to do is we're just going to literally pass the phone around, and who knows what you're going to hear. I don't know if it's going to be crazy, wild. Some of these people have been drinking. This is what you're going to call authentic Internet marketing mastery at its finest.

I have no clue what it's going to be, but I'll tell you right now, whatever you're doing tonight, have some fun with this call. Have some fun. Listen to some stuff. It's going to be loud. It's going to be loud.

It's going to be echoey. There's nothing we can do about that. But we think it's just going to be great. It's going to be an absolute blast. So with that being said, I want to turn it over to my good friend and business partner, Team Take Massive Action co-founder, Arthur Tubman.

Arthur, why don't you share a little bit about your experience here this weekend, and then pop back in and introduce Peter. Hey, Chris, can you hear me okay? Yeah, you're coming in loud and clear. Very good, yeah. It's very loud in there with everyone at one table just kind of going at it, ordering drinks and food.

It's a little bit noisy. But, guys, I've got to tell you, I've been out here now night number three. Got a chance to go over to Dave's house today. We did a lot of masterminding and kind of talking about what's happening in the future of Empower Network, and it's all very, very exciting. Like Chris said, there's not a lot that I can really share with you as far as what's coming, but I can tell you that it's going to change.

It's going to be a big game changer. We just announced the Master Squad last week and it was a game changer for our team. I can tell you what Empower Network is putting together over the next couple of months and couple of weeks. It's going to be a game changer for all of Empower Network, for the entire community. And not only did I get the chance to kind of mastermind and meet with some of the leaders and strategize and talk about some different things that we can be doing to improve our business, to improve our team, to improve our culture, our community, some of the things that we do, our advertising, some of the things we're going to be getting into, but also got a chance to really go into the Empower Network office.

And for me, I don't know about all of you on the call, but for me that's the big thing that kind of solidifies that a business is really real. And when you see dozens of employees, you see two stories of office space, thousands of square feet of desks and chairs and phones and boardrooms, and Florida's feeling whiteboards with notes and different things that they have laid out of what's going on, day-to-day activities. It really solidifies that the business is not only real, but it's happening. People are working hard. They're going to work every single day.

They're employed. They have jobs, and they're working hard to make our lives easier. And I know this week alone, they pretty much doubled their staff. They're doubling their force out there to make all of our lives a lot easier. And bringing in programmers, bringing in developers, customer service people.

As of very, very soon, people that come into Empower Network, we'll be getting personalized phone calls, just kind of welcoming them to the team. And that's really, really exciting. Some of you might have already received some of those phone calls. So with that being said, like I said, it's very, very cool to be out here. It's cool to be hanging out with these top, top leaders.

It's cool to be checking out kind of what's going on internally on the corporate side. And it's kind of funny because nothing about Empower Network is corporate whatsoever. But at the same time, they do have to have the compliance. They do have to have this whole structure to be kind of seen as a real business out there in the marketplace. And that's exactly what they're doing.

So with that being said, I want to bring Peter back out. And Peter has some leaders sitting at the table right now. I know they're ordering drinks, and they're eating some food. And I have no idea what's going to happen. I have no idea if anyone's going to have a filter, what they're going to say, what kind of tips they're going to share.

But I do want to pass it back to my very good friend and business partner, Peter Sorensen. He's going to go around. He's going to pass the phone around to some of the leaders. I know Lawrence is in there and Toby and Aaron Rashkin and Tony Rush. And the two Daves are in there right now.

Peter, are you on the call with me right now? Hey, can you hear me okay? Yeah, I can hear you loud and clear, man. Okay, awesome. I want to pass the call back over to you, man.

I want you to just, off the cuff, go over to some of the guys that are sitting there, some of the women that are sitting there, and let's hear from them. Let's hear what they have to say about what's going on this week and what they're experiencing. So, Peter, off to you. Awesome, man. Well, thanks for having me.

And, Sharon, dude, this is just what it's all about. I'm actually sitting here in this beautiful fish and steak, seafood restaurant. The company is paying for everything. It's just amazing. I've got my buddy Aaron Rashkin passing by me right now.

Maybe he'll be able to get us on our team talk for a couple minutes. Just amazing experience. And like you said, it's off the cuff. It's natural. It's authentic.

On the way over here, we took like a Hummer ride limo, right? And I was sitting next to Tony Rush, really connected with Tony quite a bit. We were just talking about life and personal development and different speakers, the things that he's experienced over the years and myself as well, and just how refreshing Empower Network is about it being authentic and how, for instance, we've been kind of connected that we both wear nice shirts, what have you, and hopefully I'll be able to get Tony on in a couple minutes and you can share his story. But, yeah. We were just talking about just Empower Network provides a space for us to be authentically us.

And so that doesn't mean, for instance, Dave and Dave, casual or swearing and wearing t-shirts or flip flops, and I'm wearing a nice shirt, dress shoes, and a sport coat. It's about being authentically you and stepping up and showing up fully present to be the best person you can be, right? And as funny or cliche as that may sound, it's really, really true at a deep level. And then on an outer world show, on an outer world strategy, going through this training, going through the products and the training that we have in Empower Network and learning Internet marketing, learning how to create traffic and how to capture leads and how to convert sales and, talking to our mastermind today, how do we take, do some things with the website and customer acquisition and acquiring more customers for the blogging platform and really sharing a powerful story about how powerful our blogging platform is, our initial product and the other products that we have and even coming out with new products and brainstorming different things, on a big level. And the whole intention from the top down, from Dave and Dave to all of us leaders here and everyone involved is how can we help more people make more money?

How can we really help people be free? How can we really help people create the life that they want to live and live it right now? And condense the timeframe, condense the learning curve, condense all of that as much as we can. Now, obviously, do you need to take action? Of course.

You need to be willing to invest in time, energy, and money. Invest time, energy, and money into yourself? Absolutely, right? But as you do that and you invest that time, energy, and money in yourself and as you plug into the community, as you get to the events, like the next events in Austin, as you show up, that allows you and puts you in the space where literally breakthroughs happen and it's just one thing. It might be just one thing, one tip, one little nugget, meeting one person that can make a profound impact on your business and in your life.

So, we're hanging out here. We're hanging out at this event. I'm going to do my best to get a few leaders on the call so they can share a little bit more about their experience, what they're doing. And that's the whole thing. It's just acts of service.

These leaders are absolutely incredible. So, they're actually moving and everything like that. But I'll see if I can grab some people so they can share, obviously their experience, why they're so empowered about Empower Network, what they're doing, how they're doing it. And so, bottom line is this. You guys are taking notes for the call right now.

I'm going to share a couple of things. I'm going to pass it over to a couple of leaders here. Number one is, have your intention. Get clear. We started with our mastermind yesterday to plan the Austin event.

And we started with what are the top things that we want to do? What is the end intention, the end result that we want to create for people in Austin? The 3,000, 4,000 people that are going to be there, what is that intention? So get clear your end intention, right? And then after you get clear in your end intention, map it out, make a plan, and then take massive action.

Tony Robbins said you have to have a MAP. You need to say Massive Action Plan. It's an acronym, MAP, M-A-P, Massive Action Plan. So have your clear intention, then make that map, and then take massive action. So, with that, what I'm going to do is I'm going to pass the phone around, get a couple of leaders so for them to hear their experience, hear their story, what they're doing, their background, and why they're fired up.

And why you've got to be at the next event. So, with that, I want to pass the call over for a couple of minutes to a good new friend and mentor of mine. This guy has been in the industry for years, guys, very, very successful. And here's the biggest thing, too, him and his wife are just amazing people, come from the heart, no bullshit. They're just amazing human beings.

So with that, I'm going to introduce you guys to our team, Team Take Massive Action, top leader in Empower and all-around badass, the man, the myth, the legend, Mr. Aaron Rashkin. Hey, thanks, Peter, appreciate that. And I want to say hello to all Team Take Massive Action. It's an absolute privilege and a pleasure to be able to join your call here.

I know we're standing in a busy, loud restaurant with about two dozen top earners here in the Empower Network. We did a little bit of math last night. We counted. We're collectively making over a million dollars per month, those of us that are at this dinner right now. We just shared about three dozen large oysters from all around the country, and we're just getting started on our meal here.

But I know Peter and Chris and Arthur and the whole team here with Team Take Massive Action, you guys are absolutely blessed to be aligned with these guys. I had a chance, myself and my wife, over the last couple of days to spend some really deep quality time with them, getting to know them and what they're really all about and what drives them. What motivates them. And the things that they want most, not just for themselves, but for you guys. And I can tell you, there's no better leaders that I've personally met in this industry.

These guys are some of the top, top critical thinkers. Really just thought leaders in the entire home-based business industry. And just spending a little bit of time with them, I can tell you, you do not want to miss the opportunity to get to spend that quality time with them coming to Austin in January. Because I'll tell you, even just sitting down with them for 15, 20, 30 minutes, they will literally open up a part of your understanding about the business and the way you perceive what's possible for you. Things that you probably don't even know exist.

And they're going to be able to lighten up some of those dark spots and really help you make some of the breakthroughs that you truly deserve and are looking for in your own business. One of the things that I know that a lot of you might be challenged with, things like, what do I blog about? How do I get moving much more quickly? How do I start generating more traffic, leads, and sales? How do I turn my leads that I'm generating into members a lot more effortlessly and in a way that people are actually really looking for more from you?

In other words, they don't just buy the basic blogging platform. They're looking to become an inner circle member. But they want to become a part of your team. They want to become part of whatever it is that you're doing. There's no better place for that than being at a live event.

Because again, events change lives. I said this on the call last night. If you're on the Empower Hour, you do get the next digit in the combination that's going to unlock the doors to your success. And when I say that, I mean that truly. I'll just share with you quickly.

I had a bunch of my own members over at my house last week. We did a training at my in-home training. And about halfway through the day, one of my members asked, should we all be at the Austin event? And I said, well, let me share something with you that probably nobody's ever shared with you. And I went over to my closet and I pulled out my event badges.

For the last five years, I pulled out 75 event badges. And a lot of people say, well, have you made a million dollars a year for the last four years since you got on the Internet? I'll tell you, it's by being at events. So if you've never been to an event, this will be your inaugural event. And I can tell you, events do make a difference because you're going to get a chance to spend that quality time with Peter and Chris and Arthur and all the leaders here on Team Take Massive Action.

And that in itself, just that 15, 20-minute conversation can literally open up a part of your business that you didn't even know existed. So I can't stress that enough. It's critical that you get to the event. You want to obviously be all in so that you can get the highest return on any of your investments, whether it be time, resources, capital, sweat equity, whatever it is, you name it. The key is to get all in, get to the event, focus on two members per day.

Obviously, you hear this message over and over again. And this is why the Empower Network is the deal in our industry, why it's the biggest opportunity in the industry. And I always say that while the Empower Network is dominating in the home-based business industry right now, you have the opportunity, the rare opportunity to dominate inside the Empower Network. So with that, I'm going to pass it back over to Peter. I'm sure he's got some more great stuff to share with you.

And I look forward to meeting all of you guys here in, what did we say it was, 38 days? Something like that, 38 days. I can't wait. I've got 200 members of my team going to be there. And I know you guys are going to be bringing members of your own.

And if you haven't yet made a commitment, not just to be at the event, but the biggest mistake, or should I say the biggest regret, right? Should I tell them this? The biggest regret you will have by showing up in Austin is that you showed up without your own team. So set a goal right now, three people, five people, seven, ten people. Even if you set your goal high and you miss a little bit, it's okay because you don't want to show up alone.

So that being said, appreciate you having me on the call, Peter. And I'll pass it back over to you, my friend. Thanks, brother. Aaron Rashkin, he is an amazing leader, just constant wisdom. Every time I get the chance to connect with him, I learn new things, literally new lessons.

Just like you shared on the call tonight and last night, those live events unlock that next digit in the code to your future, right? And so the next person I have the opportunity to bring on our call, and I got to say I'm just flat out excited and fired up for it because this woman, and I say woman, powerhouse, amazing leader and woman in our company is someone that is one of the first people Chris and I talked to and met, is a tremendous leader and one of her core abilities, talents, and gifts. Is the fact that she is amazing at team building, at culture. For those of you that don't own the master's course, one of the reasons why you want to own the master's course, since I know, is the fact that she goes over this in detail. She broke down her whole set of how she built a successful organization, how she has one of the strongest teams in Empower, and literally the structure behind it all and broke that down in a step-by-step process in the master's course.

It was amazing. So anyways, with that, this woman, Tracy Walker, she's now absolutely crushing it. I mean, just absolutely killing it. And really an example, my example. So men on the call, and especially women, pay close attention, be open, and receive the divine wisdom that Ms. Tracy Walker has to offer us.

Hey, guys. Well, I am so excited that Peter gave me such a wonderful introduction, and I'm very honored to have Tracy. Your team leader asked me to share. Just on this call, I understand that it is a bonus call and making sure that you understand the importance in getting to our next event, which is in Austin, Texas.

And the first thing that I want to say is that you may have heard it several times before. I'm sure that your team leaders constantly tell you about it and share it with you. You hear it on our Power Hour calls. You hear it through pretty much the message of Empower, which is to get to the event. And I want to just highlight how important that is.

And the reason why it's important is because you get to do things that we're doing like what we're doing right now. We're sitting at a huge table. We're sitting with Dave and Dave and many of the leaders inside of Empower, and we're just talking and we're learning things. I mean, literally, we're talking to each other about exactly what we have our assistants do. We're talking literally about what our housekeepers do and how they vary and how much we pay them and what do you say when you're training a new assistant.

How do you get certain things done? We're literally learning from each other. And it's amazing because you look at someone and you might think that they got everything together and you start speaking with them and you learn that you have some strengths that you could share with them and then they're asking you questions. And the conversation is more of a mutually beneficial conversation than it is just you thinking that you can gain something from them. And when you do that with enough people, when you learn a lot of different things and you surround yourself with people that generally are smarter than you or have more experience than you in some other areas, you grow.

And so getting to Austin, Texas is the single most important priority that I think anyone inside of Empower Network, or even someone who's not inside of Empower Network who is considering, I think it's the single most important priority that should be on your to-do list because it will get you there. So that's number one. You make sure that you get to Austin, Texas, and I'm excited to see you when you get there. The next thing that I wanted to share with you guys this evening really is all about just having the culture. There are a lot of people here that I've spoken with just as leaders.

What I've realized is that many of the people that I'm sitting at this table with have become or they've gained the skills that they needed to gain as leaders due to circumstances that otherwise would be considered a downtime or a period in their life where everything was not going great or when things just seemed to be going haywire and chaotic. It was during those times that they developed certain skills that they decided that now was the time to actually capitalize on those skills. For me, for example, specifically, when I was dealing with my real estate business that kind of went down, I guess I'll kind of tell you guys that a little bit. I didn't tell you my story there. I'm not too sure if you guys even know who I am, really, other than the great introduction Peter gave me.

But I had a very successful real estate business. And even before that, let's just say I'm born and raised in Chicago, grew up in the inner city. I went away to college in Florida. I went to Florida A&M University. I graduated with a master's degree in business.

I worked in a lot of different Fortune 500s. I worked with a lot of different Fortune 500 companies on marketing. I lived in Mexico City. I lived in Maine. I lived in Ohio.

I lived in Atlanta. I've lived in Chicago, of course. I've lived in so many different places, and I learned a lot of different things. And so it wasn't until after September the 11th that literally I was laid off.

And I had to change because I did not want my fate to be in the hands of a corporate entity or anything that could essentially just wipe me off the planet. So I started a real estate business at that time, and this was 2002. And we negotiated short sales, and we did extremely well in that business between 2002 and 2007. In 2007, the market did experience a turn of events, and the mortgage industry meant that a lot of my potential buyers could not be financed to purchase the homes that we had under contract, meaning that I had a lot of deals in the pipeline that I could not cash out. As a result, money flow dried up in my household.

I went into foreclosure on a house that I built from the ground up. A 3,600-square-foot home that I built was now in jeopardy of foreclosure. I had a Hummer, a Lexus, and a Mercedes-Benz, and both my Hummer and my Benz were in repossession. The good thing was that the Lexus was paid for at that time. Food on the table was very scarce.

We were eating ramen noodles, literally. And at this time, I was like 29, 30 years old. It wasn't that long ago. Right now, I'm 36. I turned 36 a couple weeks ago.

So we're talking about all of, six years ago, literally 2006, 2007, eating ramen noodles. And that's when I decided that I was going to have to turn to the Internet because I needed to find a way. And I would sit at that computer, and I would teach myself, and I would cry some nights, and I would stay up 24 hours other nights, and I would study, and I would train, and I would try to get what I wanted. Some of those people are Dagan Smith, even Mike Dillard, even at that time. And just a host of different people that I just began to kind of immerse myself into their trainings and their teachings.

And literally from zero to nothing, I taught myself little things that along the way, all those little breadcrumbs built up into something that I could call a skill was blogging. And I learned to do that because it was free. So it was through that circumstance of not having enough money that I learned a skill that holds. And as a result of that, I've been in a position to teach other people how to blog and things of that sort. And so the point is that you learn so many different things from a leadership perspective when you are in circumstances or times that you may feel are not the best for you.

But you have to find something that you can utilize to pull yourself up and out. And so when Empower Network came along and Dave and Dave shared it with me, I knew, I knew from the very beginning that it was hot. Now, of course, I didn't have a crystal ball, didn't know exactly what was going to happen or how many people were going to be successful and how many people we could help. But I knew that with Dave and Dave at the helm that we had a greater chance of making something more powerful work than anything else. And because it was based on a blogging platform, it made sense to me.

So I dived in and I focused on that. I don't do a hundred different things. I don't do a million different things. I focus on Empower. I focus on my team.

I focus on helping people get the results they want. I focus on helping people understand that this is a business. It's not a hobby. And literally, you have to dig into this stuff and you have to learn these skills and you have to be consistent with your actions. To take away from this little time I've had to share with you, the two things I said, the single most priority is getting to Austin so that you can learn the things from others that are small, that are nuggets, that actually can catapult you in ways that you don't even think are possible.

And number two, the time that you are in your life right now as a way to learn the skills that are going to help to carry you even far beyond where you are now, even into the stratosphere. So with that, I'm going to go ahead and round it up for tonight. I want to thank you guys for taking a few moments to check me out and listen to me and do all this stuff, whatever Peter and Chris and these guys wanted me to do. But guys, I hope to see you. I hope to see you in Austin, Texas.

We're going to have a blast and a ball. I might even crash your team meeting or whatever you guys are going to be doing, your team maximize. And hopefully if they let me in, I'll come in there and be able to take some pictures and learn from you guys as well. So have an awesome night. I'm going to turn everything back over to Peter.

Tracy is absolutely amazing. I hope you guys are taking notes on that. She is an incredible, incredible leader. So I've got the next person I just got lined up for you guys. I'm excited to bring them on the call.

He's become a good friend. We had the chance to first really connect down at the Costa Rica Masters Course in August in Costa Rica. Again, another gentleman who's been successful over the years, but got started in Empower really with no list. Had experience in the industry, to be fair, but really he started scratching. He'll kind of share his story and share some wisdom, but Empower Network is just a little deal, a little Philadelphia.

Didn't think it would be much, to be honest. Right? But at the same time, he started building up. And so the bottom line is this gentleman has become a friend. I look up to him as a mentor.

He's absolutely killing it. Been a part of Empower since pretty much the beginning. And literally made six figures in a single month, just this past month, the month before last, doing big things. He's a tremendous guy. I love his charm.

Love his accent. That's a little tip for you guys. Just an incredible leader, human being. And with that, the man, the myth, the legend, with the mystical unicorn experiences, the man, Tony Rush. We're all just sitting out back and hanging out.

So I'm looking at the back of Aaron Rashkin's head right now. He's consuming what appears to be my salad. And that's okay. Playlist is up in the limo coming over. And you guys just have such amazing things happening in your team.

And it is such a privilege, seriously, authentically. It's so cool to be able to hang out with your leaders on your team. You guys have got a really amazing culture. Empower Network is, and you guys know this, I'm not telling you anything you don't already know, obviously, incredibly special in the industry. And in a lot of cases, people come here and get results. And they've never gotten results anywhere.

And they come here, and they just create an amazing, amazing result in their own life. And I've said this before. Empower is sort of a leadership factory disguised as a business opportunity. And here's the thing. I think that's also true of your team.

And I'm a fan. I'm looking over Chris Record's shoulder. I'm like, what's he doing? And right now, I think he's eating my salad. I think everybody's eating my salad tonight.

And Peter. And all the leaders on the team. You guys are in such the right place to create, really, anything you want from where you're standing. And I say that with a certain amount of authority because I've been where some of you are. I mean, some of you on the line tonight, you've been in the business for less than an hour, right?

You just got started. You got an email that told you to come to this call. And that's awesome. So kudos and congratulations to you for being a person of action and jumping in here. And some of you have been around since then.

Some of you have been around since day one. So I got here, a short version. I got here in November of last year. And like Peter said, I thought it was sort of just a little, you know how in our industry you see these little affiliate programs that just are hot for a few weeks? And it's a really good opportunity to make a little bit of money, but it blows over.

And it's not an insult to Empower. I just didn't know what it was. So when I saw it, it's like, oh, wow, this is amazing. I thought it would be a great way to learn some new marketing chops. And then I also thought it would be a really good way to make a couple thousand dollars before Christmas.

I thought I'd probably be able to do some advertising, get a few people in. These 100% commissions are where it's at. So if I had 50 people that bought the basic and then maybe 25 of those people got the inner circle, that would be awesome. I'd basically just pay for my Christmas out of thin air, out of money that you can just go create on demand. And we did that.

But here's the thing. Here's how short-sighted I was because I didn't realize what I really had my hands on. So I came here with, I say no list. I technically had a list, but I couldn't contact it because I was still in this other multilevel marketing deal, and I didn't want to confuse my prospects about what my offer was. So I had this old beat-up list that I couldn't really talk about.

That I couldn't really talk to about Empower. So I thought, well, I'll just go start an AWeber account and build a new list from scratch using the methods that are taught here at Empower. And so very quickly I had 30, 40 leads coming in, really, like in a couple of days or in a day. And a sale here, a sale there. Well, in December, so almost a year ago now, my wife was looking at the bank account.

And she's like, what are you doing? What are all these little, what's these deposits I'm seeing? And back then, those of you who have been with us for a while, we used merchant accounts back then. So we were seeing these deposits come in daily. And they were like $250.

And it was absolutely like walking into a dark room and turning on a light switch. I didn't have to do all the stuff that I used to burn out on, calling prospects, doing three-way calls. And you know what? Bottom line, I told part of this story on Monday, so I won't tell the whole thing. But a short version.

And using the methods taught in the 15K formula. And I'm going to beat that horse to death. If you don't have the 15K formula, get it. As a matter of fact, one of your team leaders, so far, we're on like module number five in filming. I think Chris Record has done at least, it's solid gold.

It's solid gold stuff. And I'm still pinching myself over that, by the way. I mean, you're talking to the former assistant manager at a Walden Books. So if I could offer you anything, it would be this. Peter and I were talking in the limo on the way over.

I'll just leave you this, and I'm going to pass the phone back to Peter. I'm a big fan of personal development. I'm a big fan of the concept that your life right now is a reflection of how you think. I mean, really get that, please, because that, if I could offer you anything, that would be the most important thing tonight is that you are where you are right now because of your best thinking. Your best thinking has produced your current results.

So if you want to know what your mindset is about money, look at your bank account. And if you want to know what your mindset is about health, you step on the scale. If you want to know what your mindset is about relationships, you count up the hugs and kisses you're getting, right? Well, here's the point. You cannot consistently operate above your own self-image.

So what you have to do, the opportunity that you have here, is the ability to trade in the habits of thought that you've got. Now, what's producing your current level of income, your current quality of life? You've got the opportunity to say, you know what? Maybe there's something for me to learn around this thing of making money from home. Maybe there's something I can learn there.

And be willing to give up some of these old ideas that have kept you stuck where you are and adopt these new ideas from people like Peter and Chris and David Sharp and David Wood and Lawrence Tam and Tracy Walker and all the other leaders that we have here at Empower Network. And here's the thing. One of the challenges, and I'll kind of close with this, one of the things that we talk about all weekend, and we're not done, but every time this group gets together, we're celebrating each other's wins, we're acknowledging each other, hitting each other for results, and we're learning from each other. But one of the big challenges, and we all feel it, is this frustration of how can you get more people to have the light bulb come on? What can we do to see more people stepping up and getting the results they deserve?

And here's the dirty little secret. Let me tell you the honest-to-God truth about it, is you're not lacking for information. A lot of times people think, well, I need somebody to show me how to do something so that I can get different results. And you don't. You've got everything you need right now is within your grasp, okay?

Right here on this team, right here at Empower Network, everything you need is at your fingertips. The only thing that's missing is action. All that's missing is action and the belief that you can absolutely have the results that you deserve to have. And here's the thing. I'm sort of preaching to the choir because a lot of you guys are kicking ass.

I mean, I see the leaderboard. I see, we talk among leadership. I mean, some of you guys are posting some monster numbers in your bank account. And that's just a quick word for the newbies. If I could acknowledge any one thing, it would be please create the space in your life right now.

This is not like anything else you've ever done. So don't look in the rearview mirror. Forget the past. Forget that last thing that you were in. This is not MLM.

This is not network marketing. This is not like anything else you've ever done. Put your head down. Put your blinders on. And follow what the leaders on your team are telling you to do.

Just do what they tell you. Don't overthink it. Stop resisting. Get your foot off the brake. And really just allow yourself to be full on and full out in your business.

And if you'll do that, you can absolutely crush it. You can absolutely become one of the people, like the people that I'm hanging out with tonight, Chris, Peter. We're all just sitting around. We're regular people. And the only difference between us and you is that we've made a few decisions you haven't made yet.

The only difference between me and you, perhaps, is that I got here a few months before you. Or I've been more consistent than somebody else. And the moment that somebody chooses to play bigger and be more consistent than me, then they'll make more money than me. And they'll deserve every penny of it.

So at the end of the day, it all comes down to personal responsibility, stepping up, being the leader, taking ownership of your business, being personally responsible, not buying into the bullshit excuses that people have about, oh, I need to know how to do something. No, you've got everything you need. And you are in exactly the right place that you deserve to be in right now. So I'm tickled to death for you. I'm excited.

And I appreciate the opportunity Chris and Peter provided for me to just kind of be a little bit of a footnote in your story tonight. So I'm going to hand it over to Chris. I think Peter's making his way across the diner. Oh, Peter's coming over. All right, here he is.

Guys, have an awesome night. And we'll see you at the next event. Be in Austin. I want to meet you. Wow.

Did I just hear that 15K is like downloading that money software into your brain? Right in your brain. The money software. The money getting software into your brain.

That is absolutely powerful. And that actually goes into some of the things we were actually talking about on a late night basis last night with Tony talking about the software and matrix type stuff. Very, very cool. We're going to transfer over to someone that you guys all know. The guy that really helped to help create and start this movement.

This guy is a true badass of badasses. He's become a friend, a mentor, someone that I absolutely look up to. The guy is just absolutely incredible. We had the opportunity to spend some time in another travel mastermind experience not too long ago, both in Costa Rica as well as when I went out to Singapore. So I flew out to Singapore to learn some things.

I flew out to Singapore to learn some things with some big leaders that are doing some big events out there. And just had a great time. And honestly, the guy is like, an amazing, just obviously leader. He is the co-founder of this company. And is someone that is just straight up amazing.

And this guy, I'm going to let him share some wisdom. He is passionate, successful, authentic. Genuine man. And with that, he's a brother from another mother that I never had. Co-founder of Empower Network, Mr. Dave Sharp.

Hey guys, what's going on? This is Dave Sharp here, co-founder of Empower Network. And you know, we're out here, obviously you hear the laughter and the banter in the background. And I was just having a conversation actually with somebody else.

And they just kind of came up here and handed me the phone. So, here's what I'll say. Is that what we've done here over the course of the last, let me get a drink of water here real quick. What we've done over the course of the last 12 months is something that is rarely seen. And oftentimes you hear the old once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

And most of the time when I've heard that, I say, oh yeah, whatever. In most of the time, it is, oh yeah, right, whatever. Because it's somebody who's just hyping. They're selling. They're telling.

They've got all of this nonsense and convincing that they think they need to do in order to get people involved in what they're doing. But, what I've realized here, again, I'm coming to you from a perspective of being an entrepreneur and a marketer. And that's what is important for us to always stay as entrepreneurs and marketers. We actually have built down lines and teams and done a lot of sales before Empower. And since we've been in Empower, my partner and I, Dave Wood, we've actually sponsored well over, I think, now 3,500 people.

This is through our own marketing, through building our own lists, our own paid sources, our own influence on Facebook, things of that nature. And so I'm talking to you from a perspective not of a company owner, but I'm talking to you, as I always do, from a perspective of looking at it. And what I've realized here recently is we actually got something that is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to seize something that is just different. If you want to hear it, so much with so little.

I mean, we're sitting down here in Florida, and I'm looking around. We've got Tony Rush and Chuck Marshall. We've got Kevin with The Connect, Aaron and Sophia Rashkin, Peter Sorensen, Arthur Tubman, Chris Record, and the Take Massive Action team. And what you don't know about a lot of these people, because they don't talk about it too much, is that they started in the same exact spot that a lot of you are in right now. And a lot of you think that they're gods.

They walk on water. They glow in the dark. They shoot lasers from their eyes when they walk into a room or to the beach. And that's just not the truth. That's just not the case.

And I'm telling you that, trying to relay that from being here, hanging out right now in a restaurant with all these people. They're normal people who are just like you, who come from the same places that you come from. And for many of them, like Tony Rush. Just 12 months ago, was basically at a place where he didn't know where he was going and the direction that his life was going to end up in. He was burnt out from the network marketing direct sales industry.

Didn't have a whole lot of money in his bank account. Got involved with Empower. And after a couple of months, Empower was dropping $200, $300 in his bank account every day. And his wife woke up and said, maybe you ought to pay attention to this thing. You've got people like Kevin and Melissa Connect, who, less than 12 months ago.

Were filing bankruptcy. And now they've come in and, I think, just passed the $100,000 mark. We've got people from all walks of life, from all different backgrounds. I'm looking here at the group of leaders that we have right now. And they're black, they're white, they're Christian, they're agnostic, they're atheist.

There's people from all different walks of life. And I'll tell you what they're doing is they're building a business here that is a normal amount of money with an abnormal amount of work. And what I mean by an abnormal amount of work is I mean that they are doing a lot less to be able to make the type of money that they're making. That's a big deal because, the truth of the matter is I've got to be honest with you.

I mean, I got to a point in my business that I just got sick and tired of doing the bull crap that was not getting me results. I was marketing in ways that didn't produce. I was going around and I was wasting a lot of the things that I was doing, guys. We're not producing any income or any results. So what I want to really give you tonight is I want to leave you with this.

I want you to dissect your business. I know that this is a paid team training call. It's an inner circle call for Team Take Massive Action. And I want to really give you guys something that made a huge difference in my life because the truth of the matter is if there's anything that you want to do, you can do. When you look at the income, you look at the people who are getting results here at Empower, it's not freaking gurus.

It's not a bunch of people who have a list of a million people. Right? And for him, that was a good income. He didn't want to give it up, guys. He got laid off and he got fired.

But they downsized the company, of course, because most companies don't know how to make money in this economy. Maybe I ought to get serious and focus on this thing. Again, guys, this is normal. Even on this call, no, he has some magical skill set or discovered the secret. And I'm telling you, hanging out with these people, when you hang out with me, you'll see the same thing.

We don't have the secret. We're no different. We don't have any different skill sets than you do. Maybe we've got a little more experience and maybe we've failed a little bit more. But the truth of the matter is we put our pants on the same way.

If we can do it, so can you. But here's what I want you to look at. I want you to realize and know and believe me in telling you that you need to learn how to cut that crap. 10% of the things that you're doing in your business are not making you money. And here's what I mean.

I did a training a couple of weeks ago on a Monday night Empower Hour call. But I want to reiterate some of this stuff because for a lot of people, they didn't really catch it. And here's why this is important because I wore you the day. For me, a lot of people don't know this. I've got 40 to 50 employees that work for Empower.

If you think about it, I've got a team of over 70,000 people because it started with Dave and I, and we sponsored the first couple hundred people that turned into 10,000 the first month and have now turned into over 70,000. I've got 3,500 frontline people and I'm working right now one to two hours a day and the rest of the time I'm at the golf course and I'm at the beach and hanging out with my daughter. Oftentimes, I won't even do any work during the day and I'll just sit down and write some emails and do some marketing and unless I have to shoot videos, that usually has to be done during the day unless I just want to shoot one in the office one night. This is why this is important to identify what's actually making you money and what's not. And for a lot of you, you're getting up and you're not focusing.

And you're not clearing your brain of all the bull crap that's just clouding up your space and wasting your time and you're sitting down and you're wasting time doing things that are not income-producing activities each day. And I've got to tell you that there's only a couple of things that are going to produce you results. And number one, that's getting eyeballs on the presentation, driving traffic. I don't give a crap if you're picking up the phone and you're calling people. The reason why we say jobs suck and prospecting and stuff like that sucks is because if you're doing things that you don't enjoy, then stop doing them.

But for a lot of you, you actually do enjoy doing some of these things, right? Do whatever you've got to do to get those first 10 sales. You've got to do whatever you've got to do to get some money flowing in the bank account so you can create some momentum inside of your household first and get your family on board. And I can tell you that there's no quicker thing that will get your family on board than putting some money inside of the bank account. And then when you've got that confidence, you've got that support, you've got that momentum inside of your house, and that confidence in yourself, boom, starts to create and attract people to you.

But you've got to do whatever you've got to do at the very beginning. You've got to get out of training mode. You've got to get out of sitting down and watching videos all day and realize that you can literally take a lot of the education that you're spending a lot of your time each day doing, right? Here's my, and you can do it listening to audio or condensed. Here's actually what I recommend you do.

Is that you sit down for one hour a day and spend it on education. That does not include your audio time. One hour a day, education. That's watching a video inside of the master's course. That's watching a video inside of the 15K formula.

Those are the, and the Costa Rica intensive. Those three courses, you do not need anything else. Get all in and go through one hour a day of that content. Do a half hour a day of audio exercise or something like that. And do another hour to hour and a half straight marketing, straight focusing on getting eyeballs on the capture page and eyeballs on the presentation.

And anything that does not have to do with that. If you're doing admin work, if you're filling out applications, if you're doing busy work, cut it out of your life. Cut it out of your business because it's not doing anything for you. And pay attention. Be aware of how you're spending your time.

This is something that's important and I'm obviously passionate about because I want you guys to, I want you to be the biggest, baddest, most loud, most obnoxious, ridiculous, badass team in Austin. Team, Take Massive Action. I want you guys to kick major ass at the upcoming event. So this is why I want you to focus on how you're spending your time each day. Don't get frustrated.

New challenges are new opportunities to grow. If something comes up and you don't really know what to do or it seems like you're failing, you're not failing. You're not struggling. You're getting ready for a breakthrough. And you have to remember that it's always darkest before the dawn.

A lot of you already have, actually all of you already have inside what you need. You just need to learn how to take your skills and organize them in a way that will allow you to make lots of money with them. Here's the last thing I'll say. Guys, success is learning how to organize what you need to do on a daily basis and translate it into income-producing activity. Sorry, I had to get a drink of water.

Let me say that one more time. Success is learning how to organize all of the discombobulated skill sets and talents that we all have that when we first get inside of the industry, they're kind of spread all over the place, and learning how to organize those skills and those talents in a way that creates income. That's learning how to cut out all of the minutiae, nonsense, time-wasting that most people do inside of their inbox on Facebook. Honestly, pay attention to what you do for three days straight in anything that's not a major, major, that 80-20 rule, one of those 20%, remember, 20% of your activity creates 80% of your income. If it's not one of those 20% things, cut it out of your business.

Here's the second thing that creates millionaires. It's having some damn guts. Guys, quitting and not succeeding has nothing to do with having the right opportunity. It has nothing to do with not having the right products or not having the right people around you. It has to do with having the damn guts to do it.

If you want to do anything great, you've got to raise up, you've got to stand up, and you've got to have some damn guts. A lot of people are afraid to tell people that. A lot of people are afraid to say those words because they might offend people. But I'm going to tell you, friend, that there's a purpose for you on this earth, and most people walk around like zombies. Zombies their entire life and don't fulfill that real purpose, not because they don't have opportunity and not because they don't have good products, not because they don't have good people around them who they can work with, because I'm going to tell you, there's some unbelievably talented people everywhere in this life, in this world.

They're walking around. They're right in front of you every day. Most people struggle with one thing, and that's not having the guts to be able to take action on an opportunity when you have the chance to make a difference in your life and other people's lives. And I'm going to tell you, if you can learn and you can stand up and take advantage of what's in front of you right now, and it's going to take guts, I'm not going to tell you that it's going to be the easiest thing you've ever done because the biggest problem that you're going to have is overcoming yourself and the objections that you tell yourself, right? That is the biggest issue that people have to overcome.

But the other thing you have to overcome is you have to overcome that little voice inside your head that says it's okay to quit, that little voice inside your head that says, the right people aren't available to you. You have to overcome that feeling sometimes that we get that makes us, I like to call it our inner wussy. And that's what we mean by deleting the inner wussy inside of you. You've got to reach inside, and you've got to really have the guts to do it. And if you have the freaking guts to do it, I'm telling you, on the other side of that decision is amazing life.

It's the ability to be able to do what you want, when you want, with who you want. It's the ability to be able to build teams and make millions online and be able to work an hour a day and spend the rest of the time at the beach. It's the ability to be able to get your kids whatever they want, your wife or your husband the vacation or retire them if you want to. Guys, we've got every single story that you can possibly think of that's happening here at Empower. And the difference between somebody that has had that breakthrough and somebody that hasn't is just a decision to raise up and have the guts to do it.

And I've got to tell you, I believe in every single one of you. Every single person inside of Team Take Massive Action has that ability to raise up and have those guts. They just have to make the decision. Tonight is a good time to do it. Leading into Austin, guys, we've got some big, big things that we're doing.

And the money is going to be made. It's just a matter of who's going to be able to be you. Then make a decision tonight that you're going to do it regardless. You're going to cut out all of the bull crap inside of your life and business. You're going to focus only on what matters.

And, guys, I've got to tell you that all of the ridiculousness, all of the banter, all of the chatter, all of the nonsense that you see, all of the interaction and reading and watching what everybody else is doing is not making you any money. The only thing that's making you money is getting eyeballs on the presentation. I would do that as long as it's legal and compliant. 15K formula and the master's course, pick one strategy and then go through the master's course and learn influence strategies. There's no influence course that's out on the marketplace like the master's course.

And if you get that and go through it, like I said, an hour a day and the rest of the time, take action, my friend. I'll see you on stage in Austin. I'm actually going to turn it over and let my partner here say a few words, guys, but I just want to leave you with this. I love you. I believe you.

I believe in you. And I'm here to help you release the inner badass that's inside of you that is literally dying to freaking be unleashed, and I'm looking forward to seeing you on stage in Austin. Guys, I don't have to introduce this man, the myth, the legend right here, co-founder of Empower Network and my personal partner inside of the business. I'm going to turn it over and let Dave Wood give a few words to the infamous, the freaking infamous and amazing team.

Hey, guys. This is Dave. I just got surprised with the phone call in the middle of the night. I just wanted to tell you guys. He's an awesome guy, and we're sitting here.

We've got people here who have done product launches. Empower Network is about empowering people. But the reason, guys, we flew all these leaders out. We had Nicole Cooper.

She needs some childcare. We paid for childcare while she was out here. We understand that Empower Network is a company that looks at you from the CEO down, from the management team, and you're the little peons that are running out there in the field. No, Empower Network is myself as the CEO of Empower Network. We're here to serve you, to help you reach your goals, to help you accomplish your mission in life, to help you reach the income that you want in your life, to lift you up, to empower you, to do things you've never been able to do.

Look, when I got involved in network marketing, and this is why we started. I want you guys to think about this here for a second. Network marketing was 2002. I got involved in a company. You guys know Chris Record was involved with.

I got involved with the company, and I worked my work that I worked for years and years and years and years. There's no results. I went from no results to a tiny amount of results. I finally started making a lot of money in 2009 when I started learning the principles of marketing and how to market online. The problem was that what I was doing was a result of seven and eight and nine years of experience, was a result of thousands of hours of listening and training, was a result of doing hundreds of seminars, was a result of doing thousands of presentations, and it was too much work for too little money for me, but also my team wasn't able to reproduce my results.

What we decided to do when we launched this company was something a bit different. We decided to lead by example and give you guys a business that's really a guru business and a boss. Empower Network, if you're a member, and you guys are obviously members of the Inner Circle who are on the call, I congratulate you for that. You guys have the entire model of the highest level gurus. By a guru, what I mean is I mean an expert.

Mike Dillard or an expert like Tony Robbins built on information and product. It's the highest margin for a profit model in the entire world. And that's what goes on in a Network Marketing Business. The goal is to keep you from where you are and to get you where you want to be and to quit and do it now. If I realize something, guys, if you're listening to this call, you're here because you want to create a specific role in your life.

Maybe you want to create a tiny business. I want you to think about something here for a second. Your team is had by incredible leaders. We've got Chris and we've got all these guys who are giving everything they've got to help you guys get the results that you want. Chris has been involved in Empower Network for six months, and I want you guys to really take this into account.

The 11th of the month, he's on track. And Empower Network, what we decided is to make money like you do and to give more money to you. The reason we're here in Florida is because we wanted to mastermind on how we can get you 10 times that pay. How can we help you go from zero to where you want to be? How can we help you go from start to getting your goal now to getting your goal fast?

I'm going to tell you something, guys. I want you to do just for a second. I want you to imagine the life of your dreams. Imagine everything you ever want in your life. Be able to just go, maybe buy the car of your dreams, but not get a stupid loan.

Maybe you want to pay cash. I walked in and paid cash when I bought my car. Why did I do that, guys? I did that because imagine what your life would be like if you could just pay for what you wanted. You could do it now.

You could do it with no loans. And you should have the ability to be free. I'm going to talk about that for about three minutes, okay? And please, guys, I'm going to be done. I'm telling you something, guys.

Fresh results. Work it on in the last couple of weeks. The amount of money you put in your business, the amount of money that you make is a part of your business. It's really simple. Working backwards, I'm going to tell you how to do it.

I'm going to just be honest with you guys. You make a master's course sale every day. Well, there's a couple steps to that. First step is you've got to own it. You've got to be all-in financially with Empower Network, folks.

I'm talking about being all-in emotionally. I'm talking about being committed to your visions and dreams. I'm talking about having a goal and not just having a goal, but looking towards your goal every single day with a passion that you are going to make it happen no matter what. Look, the difference between successful people and people who fail in life is that successful people, they go out, they have this big vision. Maybe their vision sounds grand.

Then you listen to it and you say, I could never do that. It doesn't matter if I've got to break my head through brick walls. It doesn't matter if I've got to fight three ninjas climbing up to the top of the mountain to reach my goals. What matters is the fact I want something and I'm going to get it no matter what it takes. Look, it doesn't matter what obstacles stand in my way, what people criticize me.

It doesn't matter if my mom throws glass shards at my face. I'm going to block them with my face and just keep marching forward because people who get what they want fight and they work before they know how to get it and they overcome obstacles along the way. You make a master's course sale every day. Well, how do you do that? First thing is getting all in financially with all the products in Empower Network.

You don't have to get everything right away. You don't have to go through all this training right away. You don't have to get the results you want right now. You can take a long time to get the results that you want. Or you can fight your way to learn the information that we have if you just pay for our products.

But the people who are going to get master results are the people that listen to what I'm about to say. This team is called Team Take Massive Action for a reason because people who get the results in this team are people who take massive action on what it is that we teach you to do. So how do you do it? You get all in. And then here's what you find.

You focus on getting two sales a day and following the eight core steps because getting two sales a day is going to feed you with the life you need in your business to drive your business forward fast. Look, a lot of people on this call, you've been in these old school companies, companies where you were a superhero if you sponsored two people a month. If you sponsored two people a month, they marched you across the stage and they put you out in front of people and they said, this guy is sponsoring two people a month. I realize that. And I realize what I'm saying.

It's a stretch. It's a stretch for some people on the call. I'm not talking about getting two people a day to spend $3,500. I'm talking about getting two people a day to join Empower Network and to buy a $25 product on the front end, something that I've done for the last three years straight before we started the company, the proven model for success. Energy and attention on marketing to produce two sales a day, that's going to give you the life that you need to fuel your business.

The next thing you need to do is you need to be all in. If you're not all in, I'm going to just tell you what's going to happen. You're going to go out into the marketplace, however you're marketing, without it in your heart. Because there's only two reasons to not be all in. You haven't come up with a way yet, and you don't really believe it's going to work.

And I'm going to tell you something. If you're not getting all in because you don't believe it's going to work, how can you possibly go out there into the marketplace and market something you're not willing to commit to? It can be very similar if you own a car dealership of some kind. And I walked into your dealership, and I said, hey, I want to buy a car.

And you made your living selling cars. And I walked up to you, and I said, I want to buy a car. And you said, what kind of car do you want to buy? I said, I want to buy the car that you have as the owner of the dealership.

And you looked right back in the eyes and said, I'm sorry, Dave, I drive a Chevy. Look, if you don't believe in what you're doing, you have a very difficult time conveying that message to other people. Now, in Empower Network, we have this gift of selling the products for you, of selling the systems for you, of selling the training for you. We have incredible sales facilities. So implement the strategies and skills to produce massive results.

If you'll do that, you will absolutely get such a dramatic success that you've never had in your life. And I'm telling you something, guys, if you'll take massive action. So one of the steps is focus on getting two sales a day. You say, Dave, how do I do that? I'm going to tell you something.

Focus on what Chris Record tells you here. Just do that. I've got some additional strategies for you guys. So here's what I want you guys to do is, first of all, listen to him. He's getting massive results.

He's working an hour a day. He's producing a track record that maybe you won't. I don't get it, but I'm telling you something, you can follow his track. I want you to think about that. Listen to what he's saying.

He's not reinventing the wheel, saying to get all in, but here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to get my toe in the water and I'm going to see if it works. Or you say, stop being a wussy and get out of my face because I'm going to make it happen because I'm taking massive action. You either get all in or you're going to sit on the sidelines. And that's what you're going to do if you're going to succeed.

I ain't going to buy you dinner. I'm going to take your friend to dinner. We're both going to laugh at you for being poor because you didn't take massive action. When I decided to take action, I'm going to tell you something, I'm doing it with or without you. Guys, you've got to get all in with your heart, all in with your soul, all in with everything to your mission and vision because if you do, everything in your life will change.

It'll change. I'm not saying to buy the inner circle. I'm not saying just to buy everything but to be at our next event. I'm saying to be in all the conference calls Chris Record does.

I'm saying to be in all our Monday night calls and not just that but to implement the strategies that we tell you to implement and to do them not tomorrow, not in five years but now. Why do you want to do them now? It's because you want to get results now. If you want to get results now, you've got to take massive action now. That's what I'm telling you to do.

Look, what does a person do who takes massive action? They say, I can't get two sales a day. And then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do. They say, starting when? And I say, starting now.

And right now, it's maybe 8 o'clock at night and they don't go to bed until it's done. What does somebody do who takes massive action? I say, get all in now. And they say, get all in now. I don't have any money.

And I say, that's okay because the night's not over yet. Figure out how to come to the event. I only got $500 in my checking account like Kevin Connect did. And I say, I don't care if you got $500 in your checking account as long as you lived in a van three years ago. I don't make excuses when I live in a van.

I say, how can I make it happen? That's what somebody does who's committed. Somebody who's committed doesn't just say, well, I'm going to poke around and listen to the training. I'm going to get my toe in the water. I'm going to see if it works.

I might try it out for a week. And if it doesn't work, I'm going to quit. You know, somebody who's all in doesn't do that. Somebody who's all in says, it doesn't matter what it takes. You tell me to get two sales a day, I'm going to get four.

You tell me to go to the event, I'm going to bring a team to the event. You tell me to be on a call, I'm going to have 10 people on the call. You tell me to write a blog post a day, I'm going to do what Chris Record does. I'm just going to go the extra mile and write two. Because it only takes 20 minutes to do the strategies that you teach us.

You say, to buy the 15K formula, I'm not just buying the 15K formula. I'm buying it now, going to the first level tonight and writing two blog posts before I go to bed tonight. You don't just buy the Costa Rica intensive, you decide, I'm going to be able to live my dreams now. It's by doing that and deciding to be committed. Because you know what happens when you're committed, folks?

You get on the phone with somebody and they say, well, I don't know if I want to go all in. And you say, don't be a wussy. Just do it. I did it, and it had the stretch. And because I did it, I've transformed.

And I'm telling you something, if you take massive action right now and stop being a wussy, I'm going to run with you. But if you don't, I'm going to tell you something. You're going to watch me going miles ahead of you. Try to catch up later. You're not going to be able to catch up.

I'm not going to have time for you in the future. So here's a choice that I've got for you. When you have that conviction, which only happens when you make a decision, everything in your life transforms. So here's what I want you guys to do tonight. I want you guys to realize, Empower Network is a company of hearts, let's not just have a hockey apartment and run and go live on a beach somewhere.

If we would have done that, we would have closed down ages ago when we ran into our first challenge. We're here because we want to help you get to the top. We want to help you get to where we are. But to do that, now is your time. A lot of people get into this, they say, okay, I'm going to make it in two to five years.

Two to five years never happens. Guys, if you're going to do it, do it now. Make it happen. And stop putting your family on the back burner. Stop putting your dreams on the back burner.

Stop saying things, hope future, when I finally get around to it. Because getting around to it never comes. You've got to do it now. You've got to take massive action now. That's why I love Chris Record and seeing him take massive action, because you guys don't make excuses.

You make things happen. So with that being said, I'm going to turn it back over to you, Chris. David, that was awesome, man. Thanks so much. Hey, if everybody's still on the call, I don't really want to have to.

I'm going to follow David Wood because he just knocked it out of the park. So if everybody's still on the call, I'm just going to end it right there. I'm going to go and sit down and have dinner with all the leaders. Thank you to all the leaders that were on the call. Thank you to everybody on the team that was on the call.

Like David said, take massive action. Get all in. Do whatever it takes to get this business from your head to your heart and get out there and make a freaking ton of money because you and your family deserve it. With that being said, Chris Record, Team Take Massive Action, over and out.
