As many of you are aware, one of my biggest passions is internet marketing. I've been educating myself in the realm of internet marketing for several years (taking courses, attending seminars & webinars, reading books, etc) and am currently focusing primarily on internet marketing to build my network marketing business. I know many of you are wanting to build via the internet as well, so I just wanted to share a few resources w/ you (if internet marketing is not of interest to you, please disregard this post!).
My main passion in internet marketing is in 'Internet Network Marketing' . I have several mentors who I've learned everything I know from...
I am stepping it up in a big way right now, and I'm very busy laying some groundwork, but stay tuned for some really exciting announcements that I will be sharing with you soon that will probably be of interest if you are interested in building a large organization via the power of the internet.
In the meantime, here are a couple of things I wanted to share w/ you:
1) Mike Dillard is one of my biggest mentors and I highly recommend any of his courses (Magnetic Sponsoring, Building On A Budget, etc... these are where I've learned almost everything I know). This week, on Wednesday @ 6pm MST, Magnetic Sponsoring is hosting a FREE webinar w/ social media queen Katie Freiling where she will reveal how she generates hundreds of leads daily using Facebook and Twitter, how she converts those leads into members and customers for her business, a typical day in her life, etc. I'll be there... and if you'd like to be as well you can register here. (again, it's free!)
2) There's a HUGE internet network marketing event coming up in October (2nd and 3rd) in Las Vegas. Mike Dillard, Daegen Smith, and some of the other big 'gurus' in this niche will be there... and it will be awesome grounds for learning as well as networking. I'll be attending with my friend and Club 100k member Mathes Jones... can't wait! It's EXTREMELY affordable ($199), so if you have an interest and would like to meet us there, let me know. You can see the details here.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
I hope to 'see' you on the webinar on Wednesday and in Vegas in October!

One way to explode your business...
I've been w/ Life Force for over 7 years now, and many of the biggest breakthroughs I've had in my business (and my check!) have come from attending the annual international convention. Watch this short video for some juicy details...
Truly, one of the big benefits of being a part of this company and this team, is that we get to attend this fabulous convention every year. This year, it will be in sunny San Diego on August 13th and 14th. Will you be there?
If you haven't joined our team yet, you can join now and have a couple of rank advancements on time to be recognized for them at convention!
And we'll definitely be doing some beach-time while we're there (last year we had a huge potluck on the beach at sunset... so fun!).
Hope to see you @ convention! And if you're ready to join our team, just call me and I'll help you get started! 303.506.3660.
Talk to you soon!

The Love Story Called Life Force International
Here's a great video from Troy Dooly of the MLM helpdesk talking about the Love Story Called Life Force International (that's us!).
He talks about how Life Force is one of the greatest love stories ever lived... I have to say I would definitely agree.
We are so lucky to be part of a company like this! Check out the short video here:
Please let me know if you have any questions. Call me @ 303.506.3660 or email me @ amy@amystarr.ws.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Amy

A letter to a skeptical prospect...
I got a message this morning from a man who wanted more information about our business and our system (Club 100K). Not for himself, but for his son who needs help funding his retirement. He was extremely skeptical and had lots of questions. After replying to his message, I thought the information might be valuable to all of you... so here's my response for your reading enjoyment. Lots of juicy information...
Dear Jim,
Thanks so much for your message.
I totally understand your skepticism… many people have it, and I always recommend that folks do their due diligence.
As far as your son goes… yes, this is a great way to create a stream of income to fund his retirement. The nice thing about it is that it’s residual income… so you build it once and get paid over and over again each month (unlike the typical retirement fund that is gone forever once you spend it).
Yes, this system works. And there are companies out there like you mentioned, where only the people at the top make the big $. It all depends on how the compensation plan is structured, and this company is very different than most. People that come in under me can make more $ than me if they build a bigger organization… it’s a totally level playing field, which I love.
The company also pays us really well to help others succeed… we actually get paid more to help others than we would if we just did it all ourselves. I absolutely LOVE this structure. We call it a cooperative business model because we all work together to help each other succeed… it’s awesome.
Yes, I’ve been doing this for about 7 years now. When I went through my divorce 2 years ago, I went through some really hard times. My income was literally cut in half because I had built a second position in my husband’s name (this is allowed once you reach a certain level in the company), and, although he pretty much had nothing to do with it, he took it in the divorce because it had his name on it. So he started getting a big residual check every month that used to come to me and I had to start over. It was hard, but because I believe in the company and the industry so much, I started over and built another whole new position, and I’m continuing to build to help me get to where I want to be financially.
I am extremely passionate about all of it… the company, the system, the comp plan, and especially what residual income provides for people as far as time freedom to do the things we love in our lives, spend time with our families, and get paid whether we work or not. I experienced the power of residual income first hand when I went through my divorce and literally took 4 months off to move, help my kids, and do what I needed to do and got paid the entire time, enough to support my family. Since that experience, I’ve been more passionate than ever about what I’m up to and what this opportunity provides for people. This is why I want to share it with the world and help as many people as possible achieve the benefits of residual income in their lives.
I’ve always known that I wanted to make a difference for people, and I’ve done that in some of the other careers that I’ve had over the years… but not at the level that I’m able to do it here. This company is a phenomenal vehicle to make a HUGE difference for people in regard to their health, and the business opportunity gives other people the opportunity to be able to make a difference for people, and to create financial freedom. It’s a win-win.
Also, as far as your skepticism goes, here’s some really good news. Our company offers a 100% money-back-guarantee for 45 days. What this means is that there’s zero risk involved. When somebody wants to try our products, they can fully test drive them for 45 days and if for any reason they’re not satisfied they can get all of their $ back, no questions asked (if they buy similar products at a health food store, etc, this is definitely not the case).
And when someone joins and wants to build a business, we are completely committed to helping each person cover the cost of their product immediately and get into profit (ideally w/in the first week or so)… but if for some reason this doesn’t happen or they decide this isn’t a fit for them, they can get all of their $ back, no questions asked. Club 100k has a money-back-guarantee as well.
Anyway, I hope I’ve addressed your concerns. I’d love to chat with your son if he’s interested in learning more… that usually works best to make sure we get all of his questions answered. If you send me his number, I'd be happy to give him a call. Or he can call me @ 303.955.2565 anytime (you’re certainly welcome to call as well) if that works better.
Thanks again for the message, and please let me know if I left anything out.

Competitive Vs Cooperative - A Comparison of Two Common Business Models
One of the things I love most about the way we do business in this industry is the fact that we use a cooperative business model rather than a competitive one like the one used in Corporate America. Network Marketing is actually one of the most ethical ways of doing business, and that is largely due to the fact that the cooperative business model is commonly used.
The Competitive Business Model
The competitive business model, as used in Corporate America, is much more common. In this model, if someone wants to advance in the company they literally have to wait for someone to quit, die, or retire. It causes the workplace to become very cut-throat and competitive.
You wouldn't want to share all of your success secrets with a business associate and help them to be more successful only to run the risk of them getting the promotion instead of you, would you?
It ends up becoming an "every man for himself" kind of environment, and often times this leads to a lack of trust, among other things. It's hard to really befriend someone when your consistently competing with them, isn't it?
The Cooperative Business Model
Now let's look at the cooperative business model that's used in a lot of network marketing companies. In this model, we get paid on the efforts of other people. Therefore, it's in our best interest to help others succeed.
When I sponsor someone into my business, I want them to be as successful as possible. I am going to get paid for all of their efforts and successes, and I am willing to do everything I can to assure that they are successful. I will provide coaching and training for free, and I will make myself totally available for this person.
Not only that, but in this model it's a level playing field. This means that there's room for all of us at the top... the company would love it if we all were constantly advancing in rank, therefore there's no competition.
Let's Compare The 2 Business Models For A Moment.
The competitive model, like Corporate America, is shaped like a pyramid. The CEO is at the top of the triangle, under him are the VP's, then the middle management, etc. all the way down to the minimum wage employees who are sweeping the floor. In this model, the people at the top got there due to their education, experience, or relationship with someone they know at the top.
There's absolutely no chance for the janitor way down at the bottom of the pyramid to ever make his way into one of the VP slots. It's highly unlikely this would ever happen within the political structure of this business model.
In the cooperative model on the other hand, EVERYONE comes in at the bottom. It doesn't matter what race or religion you are or what kind of degree you hold. We advance in rank based on our performance alone, and those who produce the most get paid the most.
It's a completely level playing field, totally fair and ethical. Everyone has the same chance at succeeding... sometimes the ones we least expect are the ones who are the most successful!
It's all about action and results, not education. As a matter of fact, because of the cooperative nature of this model, the education needed is usually provided by the person or team that sponsors a new person... happily and for free!
Is Community Important To You?
It's because of the way we do business in this industry that we are able to form these tight knit communities of people that are really there for each other through thick and thin. We are continuously helping each other rather than competing with each other, and the types of friendships that are formed here are deep and lasting.
Rather than the "every man for himself" environment, we work in a "one for all and all for one" environment, being of service to each other and supporting each other. Having experienced both myself, I'd choose the cooperative model over the competitive one any day... it's really a lot more fun.
