Well, here we are! I'm on the flight to Lead 2016 in Las Vegas! I'm super stoked about this weekend & didn't want to leave anything up to chance by not getting my blog done in time.

As many of you might know, this was our first Jeunesse event in 2015. We couldn't have timed it better than this. The experience left an huge impression on us that we came back fired up & simply went to work, and haven't stopped since. I suspect many of you will have your own 'A-ha' moments over the course of the next few days. And for those of you who didn't make it... ask yourself Why not? And what are you going to do now to ensure you are at the next major event? One thing that's almost sure...Isolation is a killer. So , I encourage you to start to do whatever you can now so you don't miss the next big event.

Which nicely leads us into the readings for this week. Always do your best. For some, this might be easy. But for most of us, this is an acquired skill. Imagine how different your world would be if what you stopped at your best. As I reflected on this chapter, the word that kept coming to my mind was -Integrity. This seems to be a common refrain in our business. So maybe, Ruiz is really onto something! What's really cool is that these agreements fit together like a puzzle. It's easy to see these agreements as foundational building  blocks of life. The lessons we learn here are definitely transformational if we put them into practice.

Reading Assignment:
 
Chapter 5-The Fourth Agreement- Always Do Your Best
Chapter 6-The Toltec Path to Freedom
 
 
1) Ruiz explains that all four agreements hinge on doing your best. Have you done your best daily in your Jeune see business? If not,  what have been your results?  If so,  what have been the results?

2) Do you agreethat the four agreements are the pathway to freedom? Why?

3) How has reading this book challenged your belief system about your domestication? What if anything will you change?

​Next week we'll read Chapter 7 & The Prayers.....

Here we are in the third month of a 90 success run! How do you feel? I feel amazing!

Personal growth is such a significant part of your financial growth. Ever wonder why people who win the lottery loose all their money? They don't have the knowledge to understand wealth principles. The books we have chosen have all built one upon the other. The Four Agreements takes understanding wealth  principles one step further in digging deeper into your thought patterns. So much of how we relate to finances stem from our thoughts, beliefs and our environment.

Applying the principles of these Agreements may be challenging, but whoever said obtaining sucess would be easy. I urge you to absorb what you're experiencing as you read & visualize your life it transforms. Celebrate your successes!

Reading Assignment:
 
The Introduction
Chapter 1-Domestication and the Dream of the Planet
Chapter 2-The First Agreement
 
1) Take a moment to close your eyes & meditate on your dreams. Create a clear vidid picture of your dreams engaging all of your senses. Take a moment to describe how you feel.

2) How are you going to be impeccable with your word as you develop your Jeunesse business?

​3) Whenever you are working your business this month, consciously be impeccable with your word.  Note how people respond to you.

Two months into the 90 day success run! When you started out did you know you would have made it this far? Congratulations to you for sticking to what you said you were going to do. As I write this post this week my thoughts are on the election process in the United States. So many started out saying they were going to become the President of the United States.  Whether Independent, Democratic or Republican each person had a dream that they thought they could achieve.  As each week goes by brining the candidates closer the their respective conventions, people drop out of the race.

Running our business is very much like running for president. You are running to be a self acclaimed successful businessperson, your own CEO.  Sometimes you may want to quit because you the finish line doesn’t seem close at all.  Or perhaps the people who you thought were going to support you have dropped. What is it that is more important than your success? Is it a child’s soccer game? A birthday party? Dinner with your friends/family every Friday/Sunday evening?  A TV show or sporting event that conflicts with time you committed to building your Jeunesse business? When you stop and think about it, the excuses you make for not having success are the very things that should motivate you.  The burning desire you have to create a legacy for your family, have time freedom or financial liberty should drive you to do what you need to do now, so you can have what you want in the future.  Andrew’s  states “I am saying that outside influences are not responsible for where you are mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally, or financially. You have chosen the pathway to your present destination. The responsibility for your situation is yours.”

This week we wrap up the final chapters of our 2nd book. It has been a phenomenal experience so far. Congrats to you as you’ve chosen to stay focused on your changing your mindset in order to change your life!
 
Reading Assignment
 
Read Chapters 9, 10 and 11
 
Consider the following:

1. We laid the foundation with reading The Top Distinction between Millionaires and The Middle Class, how do these 7 distinctions add to what you’ve learned?
2. Changing your language changes your mindset. How do you speak differently now about your Jeunesse business than you did 2 months ago? What changes do you see?

Write down the 7 distinctions and say them out loud to yourself on a daily basis for the next 30 days. Take notice of what is happening to you and to your business.

 Happy Valentine’s Day!! It is a day widely celebrated around the world to commemorate love for your significant other or friends.  Millions of people around the world send flowers, chocolates or gifts to their special loved one as an expression of love. Marketing for Valentines Day started in January!  Can you imagine the difference in your business if you starting promoting reading the books we’re reading to your group each month? How much more empowered would your group be? How much more focus and clarity would each person have?  All successful people agree that you must write down what you want, meditate on it and have a plan of execution.
 
The buck stops here, I will seek wisdom and I am a person of action are the first 3 principles discovered by David Ponder.  Reflecting on these principles cause us to take responsibility for our actions in our journey of success.  The key to success lies not only in reading, but also putting what we’ve learned into action.
 
Reading Assignment
 
Read chapter 6, 7, and 8

I'm not a huge fan of football so I'm always intrigued by the amount of time people spend watching the game. For about 3 hours or more  on Sunday night, more than 112 million people were transfixed and glued to the Super Bowl 50 2016. And at the end of the day what did the viewers gain? Maybe a few more extra pounds from eating game day munchies & drinks and consuming alcohol, some lost money betting on their team, or some may have watched just for the half time show and commercials.

At the the end of the day, essentially it was mind-less entertainment.

Please don't get me wrong, I recognize we all need a little down time sometimes. This is purely my opinion. However, time is as valuable is money.

How difficult is it to spend 3 hours on your own self development?

People will often say.. 'I don't have the time'. I believe you don't have the time not to spend on yourself.

While David Ponder travelled back in time he learned some of life's most valuable lessons. As you go through this week be very conscious about what you spend your time doing. Once you spend your time you can't get it back.

Let's continue to learn from David Ponder's experiences as we become better people together. Happy reading!!

This week's assignment:  Read chapters 3, 4, & 5 only

Consider the following: 

1) What resonated the most with you as you read each chapter?

2) Think about your WHY as you ask yourself the question 'Why not me?' How does this empower you to work harder towards your goals?

3) How do theses first 3 decisions affect your conscious thoughts about your Jeunesse business? How do you plan to incorporate these decisions into your business?

​Looking forward to seeing what valuable lessons you'll learn this week! Comment below or on our Facebook

Here we are on our second book of the 90 day Success Run!

This book has an amazing story and I’m excited as we read this together to hear  about your transformations. In the first book we laid the foundation of changing our mindset.  As we read the Traveler’s Gift by Andy Andrews we’ll discuss the seven decisions that determine personal success.  We’ll explore achieving personal success through the eyes of David Ponder. These decisions will fertilize your new mindset as you continue your personal growth.

Let’s continue our journey together!
 
Here’s the assignment for week 5:
 
Read Chapter’s One & Two this week ONLY.
 
Consider the following as you read:

• The first two chapters set the tone for the character. Would your reaction have been any different than David if you were in the same situation? Describe how it would have been different.

• How has David’s mindset affected his outlook on his life and family? How would this kind of mindset affect your Jeunesse business and the people on your team?

​

• Do you see yourself in David?  Are there people in your life that have this same perspective? How does this want to make you change yourself or your environment? 

Looking forward to reading your thoughts below or comments on our Facebook page.
