Police used batons and tear gas to control the crowds

Thousands of Colombians have taken part in violent protests to demand the return of money invested in disreputable financial schemes.

Police used batons and tear gas to control angry investors in some of the nine cities where disorder erupted.

In the province of Cauca, in south-west Colombia, 2,000 depositors stormed an investment firm's offices.

But the owners had disappeared, leaving a note stuck to the doors taunting the investors for having been duped.

It said: "Now for being stupid and believing in witchcraft you will have to work much harder to recoup the money you gave us."

The office of another pyramid scheme had a greetings card stuck on the door which read: "We wish you a sad Christmas and a shameful New Year."

Suitcases

Angry investors ransacked many of the offices where they had previously delivered their savings and clashed with police sent to restore order.... complete article at

Starting Your Own Network Marketing Business

Tim Sales explains network marketing

Brilliant Discussion of Internet Marketing Paradigm Shift

.
.

At the Internet Strategy Forum last week in Portland I met Mike Moran, a distinguished engineer at IBM. But we don’t talk about engineering, instead, we talk about marketing.

“Huh?”

In the video you’ll see why.

Peanuts Philosophy

We practice RELATIONSHIP marketing. Here is why.

Charles Schultz Philosophy The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the "Peanuts" comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point. 1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world. 2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners. 3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America Contest. 4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize. 5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress. 6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners. How did you do? The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners . Here's an other quiz. See how you do on this one: 1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school. 2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time. 3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile. 4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special. 5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with Easier? The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care . Pass this on to those people who have made a difference in your life. "Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia " (Charles Schultz)

MONEY CAN'T BUY ME LOVE. BEATLES ROCK IT.

Keep Your Goals Away from the Trolls
by: Peter McWilliams, Do It: Let's Get Off Our Buts

There is a type of crab that cannot be caught -- it is agile and clever enough to get out of any crab trap. And yet, these crabs are caught by the thousands every day, thanks to a particular human trait they possess.

The trap is a wire cage with a hole at the top. Bait is placed in the cage, and the cage is lowered into the water. One crab comes along, enters the cage, and begins munching on the bait. A second crab joins him. A third. Crab Thanksgiving. Yummm. Eventually, however, all the bait is gone.

The crabs could easily climb up the side of the cage and through the hole, but they do not. They stay in the cage. Other crabs come along and join them -- long after the bait is gone. And more.

Should one of the crabs realize there is no further reason to stay in the trap and attempts to leave, the other crabs will gang up on him and stop him. They will repeatedly pull him off the side of the cage. If he is persistent, the others will tear off his claws to keep him from climbing. If he persists still, they will kill him.

The crabs -- by force of the majority -- stay together in the cage. The cage is hauled up, and it's dinnertime on the pier.

The chief difference between these crabs and humans is that these crabs live in water and humans on land.

Anyone who has a dream -- one that might get them out of what they perceive to be a trap -- had best beware of the fellow-inhabitants of the trap.

The human crabs (we call them trolls) do not usually use physical force -- although they are certainly not above it. They generally don't need it, however. They have more effective methods at hand, and in mouth -- innuendo, doubt, ridicule, derision, mockery, sarcasm, scorn, sneering, belittlement, humiliation, jeering, taunting, teasing, lying, and dozen others not listed in our thesaurus.

The way to handle such people is the the same method used by Jonathon Joffrey Crab on his clan. (Remember that book about the crab that wasn't content to walk around, he wanted to learn underwater ballet?) Jonathon, knowing the dangers of attempted departure from the cage, said, "Hey! This is fun! What a gathering of crabs! I'm going to go get some more!" And he danced off to freedom.

Our suggestion: keep the trolls away from your goals.

I BELIEVE IN YOU!

LEADERSHIP LESSON FROM THE GEESE

* As each bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird following. By flying in a "V" formation, the whole flock adds 71% to the flying range than if each bird flew alone.

Lesson: People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier when they are traveling on the thrust of one another.


* Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to fly alone, and quickly gets back in formation to take advantage of the "lifting power" of the bird immediately in front.

Lesson: If we have as much sense as a goose, we will stay in formation with those who are headed where we want to go.

* When the lead goose gets tired, it rotates back into the formation and another goose flies at point position.

Lesson: It pays to take turns doing the hard tasks and sharing leadership -- interdependent with each other.



* The geese in formation honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.

Lesson: We need to be sure our honking from behind is encouraging, not something less helpful.



* When a goose gets sick or wounded, two geese drop out of formation and follow him down to help and protect it. They stay with it until it is either able to fly again or dies. Then they launch out on their own, with another formation, or catch up with the flock.

Lesson: If we have as much sense as the geese, we'll stand by each other like that.

CASE STUDY .

USANA looks even worse now...

In this short interview Barry Minkow did with two USANA reps, the recruiters look like predators. A few changes and that image would change immediately. (Thanks, Ty.)

The interesting story is what Jane and her husband have to say.

Check out the five things Jane's sponsor told her (and withheld from her) that are getting everyone's attention. Are you saying any of these things?

When Jane's neighbor signed her up she told her (according to Jane here):

1. Buy not one, but three business centers. Else you're not serious about making big money. Three gets you to 20% commission instead of 10%. (Get the BIG package.)

2. That the way to make the money was to recruit others, not get customers. Jane herself says the products were too expensive to get customers.

3. That it's her fault if she doesn't succeed.

Jane's sponsor didn't tell her that it's not easy...She

4. Didn't tell Jane that most people don't earn commissions (87%, according to USANA's documentation, very common in other companies). Most reps who signed up are just wholesale customers now (according to USANA's own VP here.) We all know how hard it is to make money first hand, don't we?

5. Didn't tell Jane that very few people make the big money. Most of the money - 76% commisions paid to USANA distributors- goes to 2.6% of them, according to their SEC filings reviewed by Minkow.

(Mr. Minkow is an uncomfortable interviewer. He did time for fraud in the 1980s. He has, however, like many people, changed his ways in recent years and is today helping the government undercover fraud.)

Here's the video:









Jane's story plays out in way too many companies. Here's how to make sure you don't encourage this.

Let people start small and build up.
Tell them the truth - that it's not easy.

Yes, doing that will reduce the numbers of (unqualified) people coming in - and those recruiting commissions you and the company receive - but it will also increase our retention rates and our reputation.

Think?

Thank you to Kim Klaver for bringing this info public.

DISCOVERING LEADERSHIP POWER WITHIN - THE POWER OF A COACH TO BRING OUT YOUR HIGHEST POTENTIAL

No champion performer in ANY endeavor gets there without a huge amount of support, counciling, mentoring, training. All added to a person's own innate divinely inspired desire, skills and dedication.

Weather a business leader, champion athlete, or school child, EACH of us needs guidance and education in our chosen arenas.

I have had TWO outstanding coaches and mentors in my MLM career. One dear lady has saved me from numerous scams in a company I was with many years.... more to follow in future posts...

Another is busy helping helpless and clueless reps and would-be-reps find out WHAT happened to them and how the wool was pulled over their eyes and being a FORCE in the industry to protect, educate, and defend the MLM community members worldwide.

Due your due diligence!
