During my extensive travels, I continue to be inspired by each of you. Lately, I’ve been especially impressed at how each of you is able to take this wonderful opportunity and make it “your own.” While we all have a common mission to restore health and hope to the entire world, each of you are endowed with your own talents and strengths that will help you reach your own specific personal goals.
Many of you have already planned your summer vacations. Without knowing it, many of you may even be going to the same destination, but at different times and in different ways. You may be planning a trip to Disneyland, for example. The amazing thing is that, once you’re at the park, it’s likely you could bump into someone you know from home. This has happened to me on more than one occasion; I’m standing in line and I see a neighbor waiting to get on the same ride.
There are countless ways to get to Disneyland. You may take the direct route and fly there. Or, you may be fearful of flying, so you take the bus. You may lack the resources you need for a flight, so you plan a road trip with family and friends. Perhaps you want the freedom to drive around Anaheim once you get there, so you take your car. This also allows you to take detours along the way. It may take longer to get there this way, but you may enjoy the entire journey more. And, along the way, you may find someone who is broken down on the side of the road and needs your help, so of course, you stop and lend them a hand. After all, our objective is for all of us to get to the same place.
Your Agel experience is really not much different. Whether your final “destination” is financial independence or the satisfaction of sharing better health with others, we are all headed in the same direction. And there’s nothing wrong with getting there by different means. We must always be aware that this is not a destination, but a journey. After all, we never really “get there” until everyone on earth is using the product and enjoying financial security.
Many have asked me, “What is the key to Agel success?” It’s simplicity! However, what is simple for one person may be confusing to another. You need to be flexible enough to take a look at your own strengths and talents and be able to adapt. I’ve heard that the happiest people in the world are those who are the most flexible.
The drive for success and a focus on purpose is really all you need. There’s an old saying that tells us, “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” Once your purpose is definite and clearly defined, you will start to become more aware of different ways to reach your objective. Many of these “roads” are neither right nor wrong; they’re just different in how effective they can be for you. Don’t be afraid to experiment with new things to determine for yourself what is most effective.
Whatever you do, don’t take your eyes off your eventual goal. A good start is achieving your bonus. Mark Victor Hansen, co-author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, has said, “If you think bigger thoughts, you get bigger results.” Start thinking today about your eventual purpose, dream big, and open your mind to new and ever-expanding ways to accomplish your life’s purpose.
When it comes down to it, there may be many roads to your eventual success. In other words, there may be many other tools you aren’t even aware of right now that can help you accomplish your goal of reaching your next rank. My advice is to learn as much as you can about the different ways to build a business. Attending training events and learn from our experienced field leaders.
While there are “basics” we all need to start with (using conference calls, handing out CD’s and brochures, setting up your Agel Web site, etc.), I encourage you to be open to any idea that could help you customize an approach that will work best for your business. After all, the more paths you attempt to get to your final destination, the more likely you are to find the one that will be your effective route to personal fulfillment.
Unfailingly Yours,
Craig Bradley
President
