        Have you listened to Alex Fitzgerald’s story that he told at NAA with John Kight introducing him with the one word name, Fitz?  Kind of like Prince, or Sting.  

        Guys, Alex Fitzgerald’s story that is recorded on MP3 should be required listening for every single person on your team.  It emphasizes the need to go through an education process.  Nothing just happens.  There is no program that is SO good that you join it and it just magically happens for you.  If you join a winning baseball team, a winning basketball team, or a winning hockey team, you have to contribute.  You have to get in the battle.  You have to share the load.  You have to share the sweat.  You have to share the problems, or you will never enjoy the victories.  Yes, you can walk on to a team just before the victory and get the ring, but you don’t have the real victory that comes from sticking with the team during the good times and the bad.  Everybody wants to find that program where you don’t have to struggle, or you don’t have to go through anything.  I don’t know about that program, even the lottery ticket winners, 99% of them don’t keep their money because they didn’t go through the struggle to get it.  It’s just them and they win it and now what do they really have? 

        So, if you are looking for a business model that you don’t have to do anything, it’s just bam and you win it, you’re going to get just that.  It’s going to be a flash.  If you buy 13 McDonalds, or you buy one Dominos’ franchise, (and I have a friend that has 11 franchises) I promise you, you will go through the ups and the downs and the battles and the challenges.  It is a model of victory.  It is a model that you can win with, just like our system is a model you can win with, but you have to go through something to come out to the other side.  

        Get that tape, get that MP3 from Alex Fitzgerald, listen to it at least three or four or five times, and then listen to it again.  It’ll change your whole mindset, but it’s just the beginning. Like anything else we ask you to do to be a part of our team.  It’s just the beginning.  It’s one step along the way.  Listen to his story, and then, when he comes out with another one, listen to it and learn a lot of different things about that biography, the one that’s still being made, the one for Fitz, and his awesome life habits.  

        Alright guys, I’m selling you on it hard.  Make it happen.

In some companies they say ‘drive depth’. They say ‘depth is security’.

Here is the more traditional comment. “You need to network with the right people”.

The deal is they are both the same comment. The key to building a business is networking or driving depth with the correct directions. For this article depth will be the term used from here on out. The depth levels you drive down in need to be done with purpose and direction. The quality of your driving will determine the effectiveness of your efforts. Just like in driving to a vacation destination, if you make all the right turns you will get there faster, safer and cheaper. You get a quicker ROI and much better ROI for your family because you arrive at the destination quicker and start to enjoy your investment of time.

Here I want to start to provide improved decision making skills & directions for more effective driving depth. As always your ability to ask questions is the key to evaluating turns you make. To learn better question skills I suggest BOOK: The Aladdin Factor, by Jack Canfield & Mark Victor Hansen. The next step is to learn to keep you antenna up and looking for opportunity and know what you are looking for. It is NEVER a mistake to look for the sharpest 3 people one contact knows. An example is if you know an attorney, the question needs to eventually be; who is the sharpest attorney you know? If he gives you someone, then you know a sharper attorney according to his or her criteria. So the key is to ask the right questions of the person you are dealing with. Another example is if you are…
