WILL DUBLI BE THE GAME CHANGER IN THE NETWORK MARKETING ARENA?



An esteemed colleague of mine recently wrote this article and I felt it was worth passing on for those of us who are in the network marketing game.

"Game Changer"! How many times have you heard that recently? Right now many companies are taunting that they are going to change the game. None of them will. They need to make that statement because the way they have been doing it isn't working any longer.

Some companies believe their products are so different that it will change the game. They are using the same distribution method of traditional network marketing (everyone becomes their own customer and teach everyone to be their own customer) using a binary plan (which have proven over time to fail). Same game - new product story until the next new better vitamin, juice or nutritional super pill comes along. Other companies believe they have technology that will change the world with a new enhanced forced compensation plan. Technology that has not been proven going against multi-billion dollar players with a program you have to pay every month to get paid. It is OK everyone knows the majority of that money gets paid out to everybody else. That game has been around for a long time--nothing new. Others believe you can take products that have not done well, a compensation plan at best mediocre and put a big name in front of the company with a good story and that is going to change the game. Are you kidding? Sooner or later, the product has to stand out. Hold on - no it doesn't - the product doesn't matter. We are all following the leader, who will eventually say thank you and move on. History has proven that.

What all of these companies are saying is we can take the 1st, 2nd and 3rd base and we will make them round instead of square. Now it is not baseball, it is a better game than baseball. No, it is still baseball just with round bases instead of square.

All of these companies are attempting to change the game using the same model (with a new twist) that is no longer working. Each of them still believe that everyone should be their own customer, everyone should be a distributor and everyone needs their products. As long as everyone just buys their $150 a month, everyone will make money. How has that been working for you so far? As much as they say they are changing the game, you are still trying to convince people to use your new improved super duper mega power whatever. That is the same game. That is the "baseball". You change the shape of the bases any way you want, it is still "baseball".

Change is inevitable. You can either participate or watch it happen. Either way is OK but it will happen.

I do not believe that DubLi will change the game either. I DO believe that DubLi is aware and sees the changes occurring and as we speak are positioning themselves to be at the forefront of those changes. DubLi understands like any other business (except network marketing models) we need customers. DubLi does understand the revaluation of value that is occurring globally. DubLi is combining the most powerful distribution channel (the internet) with the most powerful marketing (social networking) to capture what is already occurring with or without DubLi thus providing each of us a tremendous opportunity to be at the forefront of the next evolution of business not revolution. It will be revolutionary in network marketing because it has not been done before.

This is a first in a series of emails I will be sending to convey the message. The time to talk to as many people as you can is now.

Lastly, and most importantly, please hear what we are saying - NOW is the time. I truly do not want you to come back to me and say I didn't know, I should have done this.............doing anything else is simple a mistake.

A Letter to Obama from Lou Pritchett - former VP of sales for Proctor and Gamble

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

The author, Lou Pritchett, is a well-known public speaker who retired after
a successful 36-year career as the VP World Sales for Proctor and Gamble.

Lou Pritchett is one of corporate America's true living legends- an
acclaimed author, dynamic teacher and one of the world's highest rated
speakers. Successful corporate executives everywhere recognize him as the
foremost leader in change management. Lou changed the way America does
business by creating an audacious concept that came to be known as
"partnering." Pritchett rose from soap salesman to Vice-President, Sales and
Customer Development for Procter and Gamble and over the course of 36 years,
made corporate history.


AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA

Dear President Obama:

You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.

You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.

You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing when you had no visible signs of support.

You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.

You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.

You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus you don't
understand it at its core.

You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others.

You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.

You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America' crowd and deliver this message abroad.

You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.

You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.

You scare me because you prefer 'wind mills' to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.

You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world.

You scare me because you have begun to use 'extortion' tactics against certain banks and corporations.

You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.

You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.

You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and
omniscient.

You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.

You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs,
Hannitys, O'Relllys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.

You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.

Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.

Lou Pritchett




"R.I.P. Great Grandpa"

1912 - 2009

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


It is with mixed emotions that I both mourn and celebrate my great grandpa's passing on to greener pastures. Grandpa Ivey was instrumental in the Pentecostal movement in California and although he may be unknown to many who may read this he is greatly known in his circle of influence. Grandpa was a happy man who loved people with everything he had to offer.

You will be missed grandpa and may you rest in peace knowing you forged the way for your family and friends and leave behind a heritage of loving, caring and compassionate family members who will hopefully have half the character you demonstrated every day you walked this earth.

YOU WILL BE MISSED AND FOREVER CHERISHED!

"A DAY OFF OF WORK"

So you want a day off. Let's take a look at what you are asking for:
There are 365 days per year available for work. There are 52 weeks per year in which you already have 2 days off per week, leaving 261 days available for work. Since you spend 16 hours each day away from work, you have used up 170 days, leaving only 91 days available.

You spend 30 minutes each day on coffee break, which counts for 23 days each year, leaving only 68 days available. With a 1 hour lunch each day, you used up another 46 days, leaving only 22 days available for work.

You normally spend 2 days per year on sick leave. This leaves you only 20 days per year available for work. We are off 5 holidays per year, so your available working time is down to 15 days. We generously give 14 days vacation per year, which leaves only 1 day available for work and I'll be darned if you are going to take that day off!

A TRIBUTE TO DAD'S AROUND THE WORLD!

“Every father should remember that one day his son will follow his example instead of his advice”

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us



Today we honor fathers for all the unique contributions they make to children, families and society.

We recognize and honor the dads who bandage their children's scrapes, attend their extracurricular activities, comfort them in times of turmoil and intercede to advocate on their sons' and daughters' behalf. They honor and support their wives and demand that their children do the same. They demonstrate courage when that strange noise comes from outside the confines of the home by getting out of bed and investigating the sounds of the night.

Dads admonish children to clean their rooms, turn off appliances that aren't in use, bring up grades and treat others with respect. They teach children to appreciate what they have and teach them the values of work ethic. The messages fathers convey aren't always the ones children want to hear, but are ones they often come to respect and admire as the years unfold.

Dads help their kids train for an event or complete a special project. Fathers read to them, share a board game or game of catch, take them on vacations and special outings. Dads may not know just what activity, or act of kindness, captures a child's imagination and remains forever in the recesses of her or his mind, to be recalled — even after that child is grown — as a particularly happy time. But the son or daughter knows and they seldom forget the vivid memories locked away in the recesses of their minds created by the influence of "dear old dad".

Sometimes it's the routine things a father does that resonate with their offspring. It might be the dedication or resourcefulness applied to a household project that becomes a learning moment for the child — without the father realizing it. It may be the consistency by which a father respectfully carries out the "honey do's" established between mom and dad. It may be dad's reputation among friends of being the guy who wants to help or contribute to friends and families in need. Maybe, it's that one time the kids are poking fun at the man standing on the corner panhandling for his next meal. That time dad raises his voice and says " we have to feel compassion for the hungry and hurting, kids"!

The journey of fatherhood brings lasting rewards for dad, too. What active father hasn't recalled the joys of holding a newborn or toddler in his arms, sharing a private joke with a son or daughter, or working together to realize a goal?

Fatherhood brings dedication, focus, longevity and love to the tasks of nurturing a successful family. The rewards last a lifetime and in many cases causes a irresponsible and dogmatic father to become responsible, reliable and focused.

Men who haven't experienced active fatherhood truly don't know what they're missing.

As a father of two amazing and beautiful children I am thankful to be the dad I am today. By God's grace I am better, stronger and greatly appreciate the heritage before me for what they instilled in me and as the result of their influence I am now leading as they once led me.

Great big thanks to fathers everywhere who play key roles in binding the family unit, nurturing happier and safer children and building better communities.

TO LEXI AND CODY: I LOVE THE TWO OF YOU AS MUCH AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE. THANKS FOR MAKING BEING A FATHER THE MOST EXCITING AND FULFILLING EXPERIENCE THIS SHORT LIFE HAS TO OFFER. YOU ARE MY FAVORITE GIRL AND BOY ON THIS PLANET AND IT IS AN HONOR TO BE YOUR DAD. "I LOVE YOU"!

Is N.Korea really talking about nuclear war?

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us



North Korea has nukes? It is reported that they have several at their disposal and with their inherent Napoleon complex, who knows what they’ll do with them.

To the dismay of the UN, an organisation whose primary backers have enough Nuclear weapons to destroy the universe 400 times over, North Korea yesterday carried out a powerful underground nuclear test, the second of it’s kind. The UN Security Council tonight unanimously condemned North Korea for whats is said was “clear violation” of a previous resolution.

A spokesperson for the Security Council said yesterday, “Britain, America, Russia, they can all have nukes, Pakistan, maybe India, Israel, they’re cool too, but we can’t just let every Tom, Dick and Harry defend themselves with world ending weapons. How would we control them? They will be able to do whatever they like.”

World leader have united in condemnation of North Korea actions. Gordon Brown said last night that Great Britain would do “everything in its power to starve the citizens of North Korea until its government agreed to do exactly as it is told,” while Barack Obama said in response to the tests, “There is no way we can let people this small have nuclear missiles. Their self-esteem is so low. One missed dose of Zoloft and we’ll all be living in a scene from Terminator: Salvation.”



TAKE A REAL GOOD LOOK AT THE PICTURE ABOVE........DOES THIS GUY REALLY LOOK LIKE HE IS CAPABLE OF PRESSING A LITTLE RED BUTTON? OBAMA, SEND KIM JONG a stimulus package and a bottle of Zoloft, please....

Sincerely,
Josh DeLozier

PURPOSE......

Have you ever wondered what your purpose is in this life? I have! It seems as I get older that what I once believed was my sole purpose has suddenly changed. It seems as if this is a recurring theme with me. Almost as if I were a revolving door. I believe this is much of how life treats us. Whether you believe in God, a god, or no god - purpose is what seems to drive us as people. If we have no purpose we lack desire, ambition and motivation for this life. The real trick is determining your purpose and understanding and accepting the fact that it will change throughout various stages of your life.

Are you in that stage where providing for the children you have feels like your main focus? Think about this. We graduate from high school and in most cases start college but somewhere in the middle decide we are ready to settle down and start a family. We fail to follow our commitment to getting our education and decide to roll with our new found purpose - to settle down and marry and raise children. Once we commit to that it becomes our primary purpose in life. So many people jump into this so quickly and feel trapped. I believe this contributes to so many of today's divorces and ultimately to the broken families that fill America. I would caution young people to live their lives, truly know who they are and what their long term desire and goals are. Stick to whatever those are and don't sway from them. The point in all of this is that our descisions directly reflects what our purpose will become. Amazingly, I am just realizing this in my mid-thirties. I have no regrets and love the family and children I have been given. My revised purpose is rewarding and keeps me excited about life. I feel pride in my purpose today. Understanding what I do today I may have done it slightly differently but remain firm on the fact that I am very happy with where I have arrived in this life. I guess the point that I am making is that our purpose follows our life decisions and at the end of the day we have ultimate responsibility for where we are in this life. I am betting you thought this was going to be a "feel good" article that removes you from the responsibility of where your life is, today or where it is headed. Sorry! the cold, hard truth is that you are what you are! You are where you are and you are who you surround yourself with. MAKE DECISIONS THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE THAT ALIGN YOU WITH WHAT YOU WANT YOUR PURPOSE TO BE.No matter where you are in life the decisions you are faced with and the decisions you make all lead to your future and purpose. You hold the keys and are responsible for where you are, where you are headed and where you end up in this life. Anything outside of that would just be excuses to absolve yourself from responsibility. One last thing to remember.

"Sow a thought - reap an action, sow an action - reap a decision, sow a decision - reap a lifestyle, sow a lifestyle - reap YOUR destiny"!

RECIPROCITY?

"THERE IS NO RECIPROCITY. MEN LOVE WOMEN, WOMEN LOVE CHILDREN, CHILDREN LOVE HAMSTERS"!

Is DubLi the next E-Bay?

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


I was recently introduced to a company called DubLi. Dubli is widely known as the E-bay and Amazon of the European continent. DubLi has decided as of this year to go directly after Amazon with their World-Wide Shopping Portal and E-Bay with the worlds first REVERSE auction where the price goes down with each person clicking a button to see the current price. This is certainly a welcome change in this time of economical stress. I have been researching DubLi for well over two months now and I am convinced DubLi's business model and marketing approach will definately make them successful and ultimately one of the "big boys" in the E-Commerce world of online shopping and auction sites. The discounts they are offering to the American consumer is by far the most aggressive cost cutting efforts I have seen in a long time.

If you are interested in checking DubLi out you can register free by clicking on my personal domain www.clik2savenow.com. If interested in the business opportunities that exist with DubLi - e-mail me at joshdelozier@sbcglobal.net and I will send you some free credit vouchers to play around with on the online auction site.

Thanks and have a great day!

GOD WAS ON A BREAK

A man shouting that God would keep him safe was mauled to death by a lioness in the Kiev Zoo after he crept into an enclosure, a zoo official said Monday.

The man shouted "God will save me, if he exists",lowered himself by a rope into the enclosure, took his shoes off and went up to the lions, the official said.

A lioness went straight for him, knocked him down and severed his carotid artery.

The man died shortly thereafter.
