MIKE AKINS,
Founder of PN => What is he Really Like?
- Hi Everyone. There is so much talk about Mike
Akins being the world's greatest networker. I will not even go there. I know he
is, but that is not the point.
Who IS he, really? I can tell you, because the
first time I met Mike and Marsha was at the 2004 convention. I was in 4life for
about 2 months, and really nobody to speak of. Another distrubutor among
thousands there with my wife, Mary-Gene.
Why am I telling you this? - because If you
are experienceed in MLM, you will recognize what I am about to say. If you are,
not then it will give you some insite.
I have been in MLM about 16 years, with several
companies. There is always one person who is the heavy hitter, the man in front
of the room. The one with all the money. If it's a meeting or a regional or a
convention, he is the one who shows up in the stretch limo. The first thing he
does is tell you how much money he makes, his cars, his mansions. You know the
drill. If your are really lucky, your upline tells you he may actually be able
to introduce you to him and you can shake his hand before he leaves. What a
thrill, right!
Well Mike has more money, more power and a larger
group that most heavy hitters. They come to Mike to try and be under him. Yet
all you see is a kind, caring minister from the midwest. He lives modestly
because his money goes back to help his distributors and his ministries.
We arrived in Salt Lake and met our new family, my
support team from PN. We were invited to a reception in Mike's suite. Mike spoke
about the people he was helping - the lives he was saving - and there was
not a dry eye in the place, including his. He didn't do that to brag. Is was
only to show us the power of TF to help others - what we had in our hands. Not him. Mary-Gene and I will never
forget that.
We had lunch with Mike and Marsha at the food court
across the street during the convention, and ate Tacos. We went for a walk back
to his hotel with Mike, Marsha and my suppost team, Chris, Tim, Shayne,
Patricia, Rebecca, Naomy, Janurary, Amy. Ginger, Jason and Kelly weren't there
at the time. I hope I got everyone. We were one big happy family. We couldn't
find Mike for a while, because he went to help a homeless man.
I never heard money or material things mentioned.
What was mentioned was a lot about helping me and what I needed to build my
business. I received everything I needed, and more, from Mike and PN - and
from Dick Helgeland and Dr. Magnus, who
are always there for me. I owe my success to all of them - and it's not just me.
I don't know how they stretch themselves so thin, but everyone gets the help and
support they need, no matter what their rank.
Since then, I have been working very closely with
Mike, and my respect for him just grows. Oh, I don't want to forget his
knowledge of health, science, TF and the human body. How can one man know so
much? I still can't figure that one out.
Ok, that's Mike. Thank you my friend, GOD bless
you, Dick, Dr. Magnus and everyone at PN. It's an honor to know all of you. If
this sounds a bit mushy then I guess it is, but I am just expressing the
feelings of so many people. Mike, I know you don't like praise but some things
need to be said. When I am Platinium, and it will happen, but not because of me, because of GOD, you and PN - I want to stay as humble
as you are.
Remember, it's not me. I am just a kid from the
Bronx who GOD blessed by bringing me to Mike Akins.
Be Blessed everyone, Ed
Bernstein

Growing Up! - (Comments just prior to Convention) -- "An elevated life
means increased opportunities for happiness, financial independence, and
precious time with the ones you love. Anticipation for 4Life's International
Convention is generating a wave of renewed excitement and growth throughout the
field. Distributors from around the world are eager to elevate their potential
for success and support others in their similar quests.
"Through
Science, Service, and Success - we're raising the standard for health, and
heightening the opportunity for personal fulfillment. I'm looking forward at
Convention to the opportunity it gives us to increase the altitude of the human
spirit and individual well-being." -- Bruce Redd // 4Life Executive Vice
President

))) - What's 'MOST
IMPORTANT' in
Life?
( Author Unknown )
GOLF BALLS - A professor stood before his Philosophy 101
class and had some items in front
of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large
and empty mayonnaise
jar and proceeded to filling the jar with golf
balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.
PEBBLES - So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles
and poured them into the jar. He
shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course,
rolled into the open spaces between the golf balls.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full.
They again agreed it was.
SAND - The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it
into the jar. Of course, the sand filled
up everything else. He then asked once more if the jar was full.
The students agreed with an unanimous yes!
BEER - The professor then produced two cans of beer from
under the table and proceeded to pour
the entire contents in to the jar effectively filling the empty
space between the sand.
The students laughed.
“Now,” the professor said, as the laughter subsided, “I want you to
recognize that this jar represents
your LIFE...
The Golf Balls are the important things — your faith, your
family, your partner, your health, your
children, your friends, your favorite passions — things that if
everything else was lost and only
they remained, your life would still be full.”
The Pebbles are the other things that matter like your job,
your house, your car.
The Sand is everything else — the small
stuff!
If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued, there is no
room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy
on the small stuff, you will never
have room for the things that are important to you.
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your Happiness.
Play with your children. Take time to
get medical checkups. Take your partner out dancing. Play another
18 holes. There will always be
time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party and fix
the disposal.
Take care of the golf balls first — the things that really matter.
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the
Beer represented.
The professor smiled - “I’m glad you asked. It just goes to
show you that no matter how full your life
may seem, there’s always room for a couple of cans of beer!”
:-)
* * * * *
There’s a great deal of wisdom in this little story.
It’s SO important to figure out what’s most important in
our lives.
Most people major in minors throughout their entire life.
Let's not let that happen to us.
Let's remind ourselves often of what’s really worthy of our time
and focus.

Founder, PN )
)))
- Sharing TF and Network Marketing More
Effectively
|
The first step in
building a successful MLM organization is to surround you with your core
network marketers.
Generally, the first
stage of growth is filled with network marketers with experience.
Eventually, in order to build a strong and lasting organization, you will
have to bring in customers and individuals from the outer markets or
individuals new to network marketing.
This is based on the
mathematical principle that in 4Life Research you have to at least have
five individuals ordering at least as much as you do in order to break
even on your basic purchase. For example, if you order 100LP and you place
one person on your first level that orders 100LP you will earn $2. When
you place four such individuals who are ordering monthly 100LP you will
receive a second level 25% bonus of $100. Basically you are a break-even
point as far as your monthly purchase is concerned.
You cannot
escape this formula. Wether you have 10,000 people or 100,000
distributors, the basic percentage applies. If all of these individuals
are motivated distributors that will not be satisfied with nothing short
of a profit, eventually the distributors at the bottom will drop out and
your income will not be residual.
If each distributor has five
customers that are not looking for an income, then you secure your
business at the bottom of your matrix.
One problem that many
networkers face is the term, "network marketing". I hear this over and
over again throughout the world - when they ask me => "is this "network marketing?" - and I say
yes - that run away.”
The term chases away
potential distributors as well as customers.
While I was traveling
throughout India, this issue was on my mind. I thought back to when the
term “network marketing” first was used. I remember in Amway, Dexter Yager
was addressing this issue. His distributors were complaining that when
they used the term “multi level marketing” - people ran away from them.
Dexter came up with the term "network marketing". I ask myself
- if we had never used this term, or multi level marketing - what
would we call this marketing model?
My answer was => a
Consumer Based Business Model -- or
-- Consumer Based Marketing Model.
I used this term when talking to a man in India that had been
networking for something like ten years. He didn’t recognize that I was
talking about "network marketing" until I had shared 2/3's of the program
with him. He finally said, “are you talking about "network marketing?” -
and I said yes. He got so excited about using this new term -
he said he had sworn off MLM but could see himself getting involved
again simply because "this term" would make it so much easier to market.
Every network marketer that I shared this with overseas got excited.
I suggest that you use this term more often. If you would like to
listen to the complete conference call on how to use this term, it is on
the membership site - and remember - currently, you don’t have to use a
password to get into the site.
Also I share on this tape, how to
share TF
more successfully.
If you are beginning
your presentation with 'when transfer factors were discovered by Dr.
Lawrence' - or that it comes from colostrum - you are starting
out "handicapped". When you mention 1949, it sounds like an old idea.
Noni or Xango sounds
more up to date.
When you mention in the beginning, that transfer
factors come from eggs or colostrum it sounds boring.
Something from a South
Sea Island sounds more exotic. Of course later in the presentation, you
mention these factors - but not too soon. I cover this on the tape. Also
how, to share the wonder of transfer factors without making curing
claims or treatment claims is covered.
I suggest that you
listen to the two tapes. My staff has transcribed the first tape and is
working on the second tape.
Be blessed.
