~~~~~~~~~~~Mentor Leader
Secrets of building people and teams that win consistently
1) Focus on Significance
-Mentor Leaders put people first
-Relationships are what matter
Ask your self how do others around me flourish because of my leadership?
How does my influence and involvement in their lives - in whatever setting me are in - have a positive and lasting impact on them?
Sometimes you reach the organizational goals you have set, sometimes not. eitehr way, if people's lives are better, you've lead.
BUILDING A LIFE OF SIGNIFICANCE MEANS BEING WILLING TO GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY.
Mentor leaders focus on creating a culture that lives on and defer immediate gratification to build structure and value into other's lives.
2) Its not about me.
Ask: How can I benefit others?
ASK YOURSELF: Am I prepared for great success and not take any credit for it? If you do it right, you make it nearly impossible for other people to give you credit.
VISION, MISSION AND VALUES:
Vision - Motivate and generate enthusiasm. A goal larger than the team..."what are we called to do"
Mission - Why do we exist? That is our mission.
Values - What is important for us as a team and as people?
3)Mentor Leaders examine what makes them tick and dea with the past. Some things to remember...
*Hurting people hurt people
*Unloving people are unloved
*Forgive and be free, offer the grace God gives us
THE MARKS OF A MENTOR LEADER:
Character-more important than vision
"in times of crisis people gravitate towards those with the highest character"
Trustworthy - capable, honest
Authentic - people know a fake when they see one
Stay engaged with those around them.
Loyalty - that you have your team's back!

Lessons from Williams PUSHING UP PEOPLE PT 2
AKA: How to be AN AMAZING leader/coach :)
Williams devotes much of his success in building Primerica (which incidentally never grew another year after he retired!) to Praise and Recognition. He says focus on the strengths and performance of people and let everyone know of their success. Then rather than criticize, just don't praise.
He says never forget to recognize the support system - partners, spouses, etc ina person's life when recognizing them. He calls this the "Forgotten Power"...
He says Total Commitment is the first step to greatness.
If your dream is something great then you must rise above the half commitment and embrace the inconvenient. You must learn to risk wasted time and wasted money. He devote a whole chapter on remaining positive and reframes these "wasted "investments in a new light. Not every minute, dollar and effort will give you a return, so you are going to have to take a lot of risks and put forth a lot of effort not knowing what the outcome will be. But the guaranteed return is that you will always have a lesson learned. You must remain positive at all times to succeed.
Keep your expectations high because we all rise to the expectations set for us. Keeping your expectations high of yourself keep your performance up and keeping your expectations of your team high helps keep their performance up. The main reason people let expectations fall below what they can do is because the risk of failure is also low. Leaders must learn to take the risks necessary to win big.
Nobody will follow a leader who asks others to do what he won't do himself.
The biggest threat to any goal is lack of activity.
Focus on giving others your positive attitude your loyalty your commitment and your winning example no matter how much you achieve.
The only real way to fail is to quit!

LESSONS FROM Pushing Up People, A.L. Williams Part 1
Unlocking the potential in people starts with one main ingredient - THE WILL TO WIN.
The only way to see what we are capable of is to get us on the playing field and recognize if a person has that will to win. When deciding who too invest in as a coach, we are looking for the person who is willing to take a chance 1 more time., to dream 1 more time, and willing to pay the price. It has nothing to do with degrees, social status, or talent.
Recognizing that immeasurable is a key to leadings someone to life-changing success. Then you must be proud of them. People need support and love more in the down times than the up times. You must have an unconditional commitment to them. You can't just say it with words, you have to feel it, believe it and express it. Be sincerely excited for them to win, as much as you are excited for your own kids to win!
A strong, effective leader/coach accepts people's weaknesses and rewards their strengths. The secret to bringing out the best in others is praise and recognition. The people we are coaching need 3 big things:
1. To belong to a group
2. The feel appreciated
3. To be Recognized for their Efforts
As a leader, to get great results, REWARD THE POSITIVE, DO NOT DWELL ON THE NEGATIVE!!!
"THE SECRET"
-praise successful behavior
-creates a self motivated team
-motivates others and they'll want to copy
Its a grave mistake in coaching to focus on a person's weaknesses, and change them or change the person. The real magic happens when we focus on a person's strengths and build on them. Find that area that makes people special and build on that!
****ALWAYS LOOKS FOR REASONS TO PRAISE******
(don't worry about overdoing praise)
*****BE SLOW TO CRITICIZE******
The most effective way to criticize or correct is lack of praise.
"When you want to criticize, don't"
More to come.....
So far - Powerful stuff for me! Can't wait to read your ideas and srategies!

Single Biggest Cause of Financial Loss
Paraphrased from "The Richest Man Who Ever Lived" ~ Steven Scott
Based on the book of Proverbs for how to build a successful business.
Greed is not what you want, its how badly you want it. Greed causes us to have a "whatever it takes" mentality.
Greed:
1) Can steal your life away...emptiness as well as suicide.
2) Steals your financial security. SOliman said "for those focused on getting rich, riches will sprout wings and fly off like an eagle"
3) Affects your loved ones because you focus on greed instead of them.
4) Bankrupts you spiritually - acquiring the object of your desire will leave you empty.
5) Focusing on lack (the nature of greed) steals gratitude and lack.
6) Will cause you to lie cheat and steal, like an addiction.
Detecting Greed:
1) You go to great lengths for something regardless of yoour best interests or the best interests of others.
2) Early warning signs:
Coveting
More More More
Impatience, hurry hurry hurry
Compromising Values
Brings more turbulence or drama

TRUE SUCESS:
- Focus on achievement rather than money.
- Be diligent and you will profit.
- Diligence and excellence in your labor will surely bring about success.
- Wealth the right way brings sorrow to no one. If you lose your spouse, children, values, ethics, you were GREEDY in your pursuits.
- Focus on generously meeting the needs of others instead of riches.

PP Oct 8th - A few lessons on the road to 6*
Hopefully you got the email with the shout outs !! What a team !! I could not get it to paste here this time so I thought this would be a nice place to leave a message for our team since we have reached a nice little milestone together.
I can tell you these are just my thoughts...this has been a group effort so all of you and Mike and Ellen Rose have earned this as well. My personal 2 cents is as follows.
The ONLY thing that pin represents is that I've been here a while. But know this. I believe each of you is stronger, smarter, harder working and has better ideas than I do. There is nothing about this you do not know or cannot do. I am as full of weaknesses as anything, so there is nothing special needed. What I've learned is this:
I believe in you.
You can do this.

There is nothing about this you do not know or cannot do. I am as full of weaknesses as anything, so there is nothing special needed. What I've learned is this:
- I am a failure. I have failed my way here. I have been great and I have been really crappy (sometimes for a long time and sometimes in the same day) and the only thing that matters is that 1) I learn and 2) keep going. It is NOT enough to learn and just think and prepare and figure things out. You've got to get out there and FAIL again. Which is particularly hard as you start to get recognized because people (mistakenly) can assume you know more than they do so expectations can be daunting.
- There is no need to wait until you have it figured out or worse, act like you do in order to lead. Its one big team effort and the ability to fail forward is almost as important as the number one rule...STAY IN ACTION.
- I have learned that action equals 1 thing - PGV. So PGV is the number 1 rule of this game. And that brings me to my next point.
- My heartfelt admiration goes out to those of you who are in that $2k-$3K club over and over. That is the REAL MEAT of this business. You are the heartbeat of this company. You will succeed no matter what. Im in awe of you guys! And for all the PGV people that came in $1000 or above, that does NOT happen by accident and it shows a hard work ethic, courage, consistency and desire.
I believe in you.
You can do this.

Incentive Tracking
So if you are routinely updating your incentive trackers, it might be in your work notebook, mine is on my whiteboard and its NOT PRETTY! Just an example of how we do this in a "whatever works" way. I just have it on my dmo each pay period to update it first Wed of the PP...
Maybe this will help you guys gof or those incentives. I didn't for the longest time because
a) I didn't think I could get them and
b) I didn't have a system to track them.

A Day in the Life !!!
I feel like this business is neither simple nor easy some days, some days it is simple and easy. Keeping first things first, Organization and Order of Operations is a huge, probably the biggest obstacle.
Here is how I am doing it. First how I get started or SET THE MOOD, lol.
Clear the ADVOCHATTER (as I call it)
Then watch me struggle to make my list, then actually MAKE THE CALL!!
You guys can help me do some of this better? Or maybe you can relate? Follow along for a glimpse...
http://youtu.be/aK1kXDVdjOw
Next is me actually doing the call. This is NOT FUN...lol Do you feel like this?
more to come.....
http://youtu.be/p8MGsyGDIag
Alrighty! Off to call my other 2 peeps and the technology time waste of doing this on an ipad is making a an 10 minute task last an hour so I will stop here so I can get through my tasks today. Please let me knw if this was helpful or if you see anything I could be doing better!!!
Here is how I am doing it. First how I get started or SET THE MOOD, lol.
Clear the ADVOCHATTER (as I call it)
- Do 15 minutes of reading in whatever leadership book I am in.
- Read my goals, affirmations, visualize where I am going
- Is my calendar updates per FB and email with events and trainings?
- LOOK at my DMO, list and calendar ---> first priority of the PP is PGV!!!
- Look at my Blueprint and calendar---> what event works for what person on the list and on the blue print?
- Look at the incentives I am choosing the participate in and update the tracking.
- Call/Contact 3 people on my list to get them on prodcuts and to the next Impending Event
- Call/Contact those on the team to help them get them and their people to the next impending event
The bottom 2 are the only ones that are truly profitable so if I don't have a systematic approach I probably never get there. I've learned the organizing can be a distraction but it gets my head in the game and makes me efficient. so I just hope the goals and stuff get me fired up enough to be disciplined. It works most of the time ;-)
Then watch me struggle to make my list, then actually MAKE THE CALL!!

2 Steps to Get Your Team Moving
If you have not been frustrated with how to help your team get into action, you have not been direct sales very long! Its normal.
The great news is...We attract who we ARE. We need to remember that our ultimate goal is to find and recruit champions and put together a championship team. And a championship team has lots of different characteristics. Everyone on your team is super valuable. There are going to be a few (read again, FEW) that are high-level producers but there are going to be many who want to be high-level producers. The first thing that needs to happen to have any high-level producers is to become one. We attract who we are. So anytime we get frustrated with the actions of our team, we know we cannot go in and have it somebody else's body and make them do anything but what can we control? Can't control what we do and that asked to help as many people as we can find get started on products and be an excellent coach and get them results. More we do that, the more our team does that. And the more likely we are to attract champion producers who will duplicate that. The most important thing we do is focus on ourselves.
So step 1 is to picture the team member we would love to have.
"You can’t get what you want if you don’t know what it is in the first place. Start thinking about the exact person you want to attract into your business or your life. Remember, you're the only one setting the rules here, so the sky’s the limit. Be specific on everything from their secret passions to their inner fears. When you know what you’re looking for, you’re a lot more likely to find it."
Today I am sending out a thank you gift to one of my regular wholesale customers. I want to take every opportunity to make doing business with me a pleasure.
Step 2 - Become that team member. You will start to attract and duplicate a high-level producer!!
It turns out there is a lot you can do and it all depends on you and you don't have to give that power to other people and be frustrated. Isn't that awesome?
"The most common barrier to attracting people into your business or life is trying to please everyone. If you’re keeping everyone happy, then you’re not being special to anyone. When you are authentically yourself, some people are inevitably going to be repelled. And that’s a good thing. Once you start sending away the wrong fits, you’re making room for the right ones to come in."
The biggest pitfall in this business is to continually focus on your current team trying to get blood from a stone. Respect them and love them for who they are and where they are at all times. Focus on being the model team member and constantly talking to new business builders every week so that you are becoming the team member you most wish to recruit!!
Just close your eyes and imagine what would happen to your business if you put this into action today.

Gut Check
Hi there, a few of you loved the idea of a brain dump with tips to help you achieve your goal so lets give this a try. All I know to do is write whats on my heart and the close of the pay period is when I see how we are doing as a team and feel the stirrings in my gut about what we need and where we are going compared to our potential.
As a team we are still pretty young. We have a strong momentum and a large foundation of Silver Pin Leaders and New Advisors. Im going to try and keep our Pinned Leadership Team up top of this blog for all to see.
But today, here is what I have. When you look at YOUR team and YOUR sales, are your frustrated or elated? If you are frustrated with the actions of others, its more than likely something you have zero control over, but think about this little saying.
You are attract who you ARE. So it got me thinking...am I being who I want to attract?
Am I positive?
Then I attract positive.
Do I take products and live a healthy lifestyle that gives measurable results due to the products?
Then I will attract healthy products users.
Am I desperate and stuck?
Then I attract desperate and stuck.
Am I in action helping customers get great results?
Then I attract others who will do the same.
Am I fake?
Then I attract fake.
Am I gossiping and engaging in drama?
Then I attract gossipers and drama
Am I fearful and making excuses?
Then I attract fearful excuse makers.
Do I love and support my crossline teammates?
Then I attract teammates who will love and support theirs.
We must become who we want to attract today.
At the end of the day, the responsibility is ours. We can make this happen. Which in its tremendous responsibility is also tremendous FREEDOM.
You matter, team!

Stephen Box
- I live in Suwanee with my wife Marclyn (married since 2005) and our 2 cats Sylvester & Jasmine
- I know Mike & Anna through the Rev
- My purpose is to build a better life for me and my wife. I want to have the income to buy our dream home and take multiple trips throughout the year (vacations, football games, visit family). I also want to use AdvoCare to make me a better trainer by providing my clients with top notch supplements to improve their results.
- I do not currently have a pin. My goal pin is Ruby by the end of 2014.
- I'm a personal trainer
- Favorite song would be dependent on my mood but my favorite workout song is Eminem: till i collapse for the intro and Trick Daddy: Let's Go
Favorite colors: red & gold (I'm a 49ers & FSU fan) - There is no way I could pick just one movie or even a top 5.
- Luck is what happens when opportunity meets persistence
Michelle Bramblett
Live in Clayton. Married to David, daughter Taylor 12 yrs old, stepdaughter Afton 17 yrs old and stepson JC 27 yrs old.
I went to high school with Mike.
My purpose is to become debt free and help others better their lives.
Currently i have way too many irons in the fire. My husband and I own a private security and investigations business, part time deputy, advisor with Advocare with goal to become at least a ruby in 2014, Mary Kay future director and I have a fitness studio where I teach group fitness classes when I don't fall and break something. <smile>
Something funny: (or not). I was the first female patrol officer in Rabun Co and it was really hard to conduct traffic stops when all the good ole boys were riding by with cat calls and yelling like rednecks.
Favorite movie: facing the giants, hope floats, a few good men
Favorite quote: "If it is to be, it is up to me!"
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -Marianne Williamson

2 Met Anna through Keith Bowen, the gentleman I'm dating, while working out at the gym. I met Mike at a RevTeam mixer. :)
3 My purpose is to help my children pay for college expenses, to take all of my family members to beautiful places on family vacations, to pay off my mortgage, work from wherever I am, have time freedom to spend time with my family often, have enough saved to retire while keeping the same life style and leave my children with a legacy that their mom spent time with them and invested in them and their families' lives ! :))
4 working towards Advisor

5 stay at home mom pursuing real estate license...kind of now, since I have really been investing my time building my AdvoCare business. :)
6 my younger sister and I would make up funny shows for my parents and siblings with one of us standing behind the other. The person in behind would have their arms out front while the one in front had their arms behind. We'd then have skits where the one behind would apply lipstick to the one in front, brush their hair, pat their face, and use lots of hand gestures while the one in front did all of the talking. It really was fun to do and funny to watch. LOL
7 The Lake House, The Blind Side, and The Proposal with Sandra Bullock. I enjoy her movies. :)
8 Favorite quote is from the Bible
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you. (Philippians 4:6-9 NLT)

1. I live in Dunwoody with my husband Josh, dog Baxter, and kitties Reverend Fishstick and Ms. Tilapia
2. I know Mike and Anna because I used to work with them at Rev Fitness. Started as a Zumba instructor and next thing I know I'm leading XTeam and doing all sorts of crazy things. To say they gave me my "big break" might be an understatement.
3. To create a level of financial fluff to alleviate stress at home!
4. Pin....I'm not using a pin that much right now, most of my notes are taken on my phone or my iPad, but if I had a choice I always liked purple pens. I'd like to get to silver but my main goal right now is just to be consistent and keep working the system.
5. I am a Personal Trainer and Assistant Manager at The Training Grounds at Bodyplex. I also teach Zumba and Yoga as well.
6. I love shooting...and yes guns. I dare you to break into my house. Between my husband and I, I am pretty sure we have 4 guns in our bed room alone.
7. Pirates of the Carribean...I know it has no words but I am pretty sure I can sing the whole theme song.
