Colin Powell said: “It doesn’t matter where you start, it’s where you end up”. Another favorite saying of his is: “I’d rather look through the windshield of life instead of the rear view mirror”. He defined the role of a leader. A leaders role is to always put his followers in a safe place. I thought about JD Premium. That really is the goal of our leaders and the company, to put our followers in a safe place. He went on to say: “Make sure everyone knows what you are about”. Another was “have a purpose bigger than you are”. That will cause you to grow. I wish I could share all of the notes. It was so good.

One thing he did was make you feel proud to be an American and also reassure you that this great nation has seen hard times before and we’ve always pulled out. Now is no different. We can and will pull out if we turn to God and pull together on the same rope.

Add your comments or motivational tips. I’d love to hear what you have to say.

Do you get the picture? Look at all of the opportunities he had to “quit” or to give up. I mean, how would you like to be pushed out of your own company? He could have gotten a lot of sympathy mileage out of that. He was also adopted. He certainly could have felt bad about that if he had chosen to. What did he do instead? He never stopped doing what he was created to do – create and invent. He let nothing stand in his way. When the chips seemed down he saw a new way to create something better. Truly an inspirational life. Here are a few of his favorite quotes:

“Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.”

“Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower”.

“He sees what should be before others”.

“You can’t just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they’ll want something new”.

Don’t miss the Miracle of Referral Marketing

Does it surprise you that there have been more millionaires created by the referral marketing industry than the next two most profitable industries combined? If your child were going to college with a goal to become independently wealthy, it would be foolish to not study referral marketing, wouldn’t it?

In corporate life, many employees will only work hard enough to keep from getting fired, and employers will only pay them enough to keep them from quitting. Just ask yourself where the real opportunities to promote yourself are in corporate life. Here’s the usual 40:40:40 promise: you put in 40 hours a week for 40 years, to retire on 40% of what you made (and couldn’t get ahead of ) while you were working.

The miracle of referral marketing is in part-time effort

You begin building your fortune in referral marketing by working five to ten hours a week without sacrificing your present paycheck. Compare this prospect to if your current boss gave you this offer:

You work for five to ten extra hours every week doing exactly what I tell you to do. You won’t have any extra pay for those extra hours. But at the end of one year, you will be able to retire on your full salary, guaranteed. What would you think? Would you take the offer?

Here are some concerns to consider:

What if your spouse complains about those extra unpaid hours? Would you quit over that? What if the routine became boring? What if the offer were to last 18 months or two years? Would you still take it?

I suspect you’d stick it out and think you had the greatest offer in the world because you could not only retire on full salary after the first period, but put in for another full retirement on part-time work the next year.

That is our simple referral marketing promise
In referral marketing you can leverage as little as five hours a week doing precisely those habits your successful trainers tell you to follow and retire after one or two years on a full salary or more. Referral marketing at JD Premium offers you something even better than that. The company actually pays you all along the way. It may not be much at first, but as your matrix fills and your organization duplicates itself over and over, you will see a miracle happen.

Unfortunately, what you’ll hear from some beginners after their first month is this, “I’m not earning as much as I expected with all this effort. Why am I making so little?” They only complain because they don’t understand the miracle of referral marketing. Once you understand it, you’ll never look back at the “security” of a corporate job again. In referral marketing, it’s the exact opposite.

Is it for you?

What would you do if you lost your job today? Do you have an additional income stream that could replace your salary in short order? In today’s economy, more and more people are asking such questions, and many are turning to referral marketing for answers.

When you find a product that gave you good results, would you share your great results even if there were no compensation? People across the country are having great results with JD Premium and because they’re spreading the word, they’re making money. Thousands of baby boomers whose aches and pains are showing up will plug into the wellness revolution that’s sweeping the globe and get amazing results with JD Premium. The JD Premium opportunity will level the playing field and allow thousands of ordinary people to make a lot of money simply sharing their results.

When people ask me if I’ve ever had a failure, I often respond, “No. But I’ve had a lot of education. And the education I’ve had from some businesses has been very expensive.”

There are thousands of excuses for failures, but success needs no excuse. It’s usually a waste of time to make excuses for failure. It’s all just gaining an education. It’s gaining more knowledge.

I often ask people, “What would you accomplish if you weren’t afraid?” Most people would accomplish much more in life than they do. Fear keeps them from becoming all they can become.

People wonder how one musters enough courage to start a new business. We all have different personalities, abilities, gifts, and talents. I think God gave me a gift not to have much fear of starting a new venture.

Here’s how I like to describe it. Picture a huge volcano blowing poisonous gasses all around and I am with a group of people who needed to cross a raging river escape from the volcano. If someone didn’t lead out and jump into the river, all might be killed by the volcano. I’d be the first in the river…even if I wasn’t a very good swimmer. Why? I know there would be others who would follow me who are better swimmers than I am, and they would save me, themselves, and everyone else. But I somehow have less reservation to jump, so my gift is to lead out where others would be afraid and turn away from the river.

Sometimes having no fear can be dangerous, especially if you don’t understand the dangers involved. I love to fly small planes in the rugged mountains of Idaho. It’s thrilling for me. But many of my friends have died there in small planes. Having looked disaster in the face there many times, I’ve developed a healthy fear of the weather and the mountains. If you have no fear, but you also don’t have knowledge, wisdom, or experience, it can be deadly.

In this business we have had lots of education so you don’t have to get it. A team of wise people with lots of business experience in this industry are standing by to make sure that your friends who come into this business won’t get hurt. We make our pledge that we will never keep more than 10% profit, the rest will be paid out through the downlines! We will live by our word.

At JD Premium we’ve done all we can to take the fear out of your experience with us. Like in every home-based business, there will be ups and downs. But you won’t have the hurdles, the take-aways, or the complexities that trip you up as you build your business. You’re in business for yourself but not by yourself.
