MLM Blogs for MLM Training- How to Cultivate a Network of Endless Leads

MLM Network Marketing Training-How to Cultivate A Network of Endless Referrals
Bob Burg

Develop profitable, win/win relationships

No question about it; you provide one of the most valuable services imaginable. However, without an ongoing and ever-increasing number of new, quality prospects, you'll eventually run out of people with whom to share the benefits of your Network Marketing compnay.. You might even end up asking yourself that most dreaded of questions in the world of sales, which is, "Who do I talk to next, now that my original list of names has run out?" That thought can be downright discouraging, can't it? Then again, it need not happen.

Develop profitable, win/win relationships with practically every new person you meet - whether one on one or in a social setting.

How? Ask questions. Specifically, "feel-good" questions. These are questions designed to put your conversation partner at ease, and begin the rapport-building process.

These are not intrusive, invasive, or in anyway resembling those of the stereotypical salesperson. Feel-good MLM questions are simply questions that make your new prospect/potential referral-source feel good; about themselves, about the conversation, and about you. Vital, because "all things being equal, people will do business with, and refer business to, those people they know, like and trust." Asking feel-good questions is the first step to accomplishing that goal.

So what are some of these "Feel-good" type questions?

"How did you get started in the 'widget' business?" I call this the "Movie-of-the-Week" question because most people love the opportunity to "tell their story" to someone. This, in a world where most people don't care enough to want to know their story.

"What do you enjoy most about what you do?" Again, you are giving them something very positive to associate with you and your conversation. You are making them feel special, important.

You've begun to establish a nice rapport with your new prospect. You are focusing on him or her, as opposed to you and your awesome product, as most salespeople do. He or she is starting to feel good about you and has enjoyed answering your first two "Feel-good" questions. Now it's time for the "One key question," and here it is:

"Pat, how can I know if someone I speaking with would be a good prospect for you?"
Here, you've continued to establish yourself as being different from all others they meet who are in business, who only seem to want to know, "How can you help me." Also, since you are asking for help in identifying their prospects, she will gladly supply you with an answer. And the fact is, nothing builds trust and credibility with an MLM prospect than actually referring business to them whenever possible.

Your conversation has ended and you never even mentioned your products or services. Good, since your relationship with this new prospect may not be far enough along for him or her to be receptive to this. (At other times it's very advisable to bring up.) That's fine. Hopefully, you've gotten your prospect's business card. Now you are in the position to follow up correctly and systematically in order to nurture this new relationship.

Whenever meeting new people, the above questions will help you to very quickly build your prospect list with high-quality people. And, in a manner that is fun and without stress. You'll never again feel the "discomfort" in the pit of your stomach, knowing that you have to nervously and clumsily approach someone you don't want to approach, and whom you can just sense, does not want to be approached.

Know this: the typical person knows about 250 people. Thus, every time you meet one new person, and develop a relationship based on the fact that he or she now feels as though they "know you, like you and trust you" you've actually just increased your personal prospect list a potential 250 people, every single time. Do this often enough and before long, you'll cultivate a network of endless referrals.

MLM Blogs Training- The Power of YOU

"The Power that lies within YOU is greater than the Power that contorls YOU."
Doug Firebaugh

Everyone in MLM has a certain Power that lies within them.

Most people though operate their life withn the Power that CONTROLS Them:

Other People.

Other People's Thinking.

Someone Else's Experience.

Someone Else's Beliefs.

The "Crowd's" Opinion.

Wanting to Be A Part of the Crowd.

Plus ALL of the people that have influenced our lvies...and that is ususally the Power that Contorls us in network marketing.

RELEASE the Power that is deep inside of YOU to creat the Life you truly want, and start letting that Power control yourt future, vs. someone who is going NOWHERE.

YOU stands for "Yes OnFIRE (and) Undeniable"

Start living a YES life, and a YES future, and forget the NO crowd...

They are getting what they are expecting...not much in life.

But Unleash the REAL YOU in your life, and you will always have the treasury of Success overflowing in your business and life.

Ignite your life to YES! And watch your business become a BLAZING INFERNO of Success!

MLM Blogs for MLM Blog Success- 10 Ways to Indirectly Get to the Top of Search Engines

10 Ways To Indirectly Get To The Top Of Search Engines
By: Kim Beardsmore


There are millions of web sites trying to get listed in the top 20 spots of the major search engines. That amounts to a lot of competition! I say if you can't get listed at the top, indirectly get to the top.

How do you do this? Look up the top 20 web sites on the major search engines under the keywords and phrases people would find your web site. The key would be to then advertise on those web sites.

The most expensive way would be to buy ad space on those web sites. If you don't want to spend any money, you could use the ten strategies below. These strategies may not apply to every web site.

1. Participate on their discussion boards. You could post questions, answer other peoples questions, and join in on conversations. Just include your signature file and link at the end of your messages.

2. Ask the web site owner if they would like a free ebook to giveaway to their visitors. You could have them link to your web site or include your ad in the free ebook.

3. Submit content to their web site. You could write articles for their web site and include your resource box and link at the end of the article. If they publish it, you'll indirectly be at the top of the search engines.

4. Write an excellent article review of their web site, products or services. Then publish the review on your web site. E-mail the web site owner and tell him or her about it. They may link to your web site so their visitors read it.

5. Ask the owner of the web site if they would want to trade advertising. If you don't get as much traffic as they do, you could throw in some extra incentives.

6. Propose a cross promotion deal with the web site. You both could promote each others products or services together in one package deal. This means a mention and link back to your web site.

7. Give the web site a testimonial for their product or service. Include a little text link for your web site with the testimonial. You never know; it could end up on their ad copy.

8. Post your advertisement on their free classified ad section on their web site. You want to be sure you have an attractive headline so they will read your ad.

9. Post your text link on their free-for-all links page. You want to go back and post your link regularly so it stays towards the top.

10. Sign their guest books. You could leave a short compliment about their web site on their guest book. Just include your signature file and link at the end of your message.

MLM Blogs for MLM Success- The Art of MAGNETIC Communication

"The Art of Magnetic Communication(sm)"
by Doug Firebaugh

In reality, most folks in Network Marketing don't understand that we are in the business of NETWORKING! And we all need to get "out there" and become more visible to the public and even strangers.

INFERNO Secret:

Hermits don't do very well in this business.

What would happen to your MLM business if you would happen to run across someone that could explode your business, and when you talked to him or her...you blew it by saying and asking the wrong things?

The answer would be: nothing.

You would have no change to your Network Marketing business, and no change to your future.

Another waste filled conversation dropped in the recruiting abyss of "could have beens".

There are so many people out there looking for you! You must find them and talk to them in a way that draws them towards you, and not away!

How do you do that?

GET OUT THERE AND NETWORK!
MEET PEOPLE!
GREET PEOPLE!
ASK QUESTIONS!
GET THEM TALKING!
NETWORK!!!

But when you do, make sure that you ask questions that are going to "position you" as a professional, not another "Amateur MLMer".

INFERNO Secret:

There is a reason why the first word in Network Marketing is NETWORK! That is what we do!You "Work your NET!

Here are some questions that have worked for many and I encourage you to use them when you start your Magnetic Networking:

1) "What is your connection to the host of this party/conference/meeting?"
2) "How did you get involved with this organization/association/group?"
3) "Tell me about yourself..."
4) "Tell me about your family...."
5) "What is it that you enjoy most about this time of year(season)?"
6) "Who do you know that might want to know how to...."
7) "Who do you know that might know about recreational activities/restaraunts/sports/events in this area?"
8) " Bring me up to date on your family/career/hobby since the last time we chatted...."
9) "Describe that for me...that sounds interesting..."
10) "What and who does that involve?"
11) "That is so interesting...help me understand how that works..."
12) "How did you...meet/come up with that great idea/become interested in becoming an architect/starting your own business?"
13) "Do you ever read Success and Leadership books?"
14) "If I were to refer someone to you, what would your perfect customer look like?"


You get the idea....get them talking, then get them engaged, and get them interested:
In YOU! What you do, what you have to offer, and what you can do for them.

Very simple concept, and deadly!

Keep your radar on for any kind of Magnetic conversation, and Network with them, and use some of these questions, and you will be amazed at what happens to your home business over time!

Let your NET start WORKING!

And your net, once lowered in this huge sea of prospects, will catch some BIG FISH!

Success is GUARANTEED!

MLM Blogs for MLM Success- The Two Golden Words

" The Two Golden Words.."
By Doug Firebaugh



Many a Leader in Network Marketing get into the business, and really go after it....they see where they want to go, and truly start on an excited journey to success....but little by little, it starts to fade...

Ever seen that in you or your folks?

The gleam in their eyes has started to fade, and the pounding in their heart is not as strong, and the Fire in their words is now burning low...

Where did it go? What happened?

And as a Leader,you think" What caused it?", and why can't you see this "Creeping Cancer" start?

You can...

And you can actually help prevent it...with what we at PassionFire call "The Two Golden Words..."

Too many times in MLM Leaders are blindsided by something that most Leaders are not even aware of, or at least not focused on it....and if they were, the "Creeping Cancer" could be at least diagnosed, and dealt with on an emergency basis...

As a Leader, or an Aspiring Leader in Network Marketing, you will build an organization, and many times will shake your head at people quitting, walking away, for no apparent reason....and most of the time, it is caused by one thing....and it truly is a 'Creeping Cancer" in your business and the Industry as a whole...as well as Life itself...

What is that Cancer?

Compromise.

And what are the Two Golden Words in MLM Success?

NO COMPROMISE.

Simply...you, as a Leader, must promote and enroll your folks in a No Compromise Vision...(CLUE!!!) How does this happen?


Well...it starts with a Lack of awareness that this can and will happen, and if it is not focused on and handled, will grow as a part of how most mediocre people live their lives...Little by little, inch by inch..a little compromise here...a little compromise there...Lowering their standards and expectations for success.... ..that is how this business becomes a low priority with folks after a while...

It's called "The Rust Factor"...Just as a new piece of steel if left to the elements will rust...so does your Vision and dreams if left to the "Elements of Compromise...

" The "Rain of Doubt..." The "Wind of Frustration... " The "Hail of Negatives" The "Storm of Adversity...." The "Heat of Anger...."

RUST.....Regressing Under Someone-else's Thinking.... Do you do that???????

Lower and regress you dreams under someone else's Little thinking and "advice"? DON"T!!!!!!!!!

How does this happen with the new distributor?

1. The new MLM distributor sets high goals, and starts their business, but after a little while with little results, they lower their dreams, and compromise their success...and life...and future..and expectations..

2. The new MLM distributor starts their business, and as they start contacting their warm market, the people they hold in high regard are negative to them, and want to "Bring them down to earth"...and to "reality"...and due to their Influence, the new distributor compromises His/Her success by lowering or abandoning their dreams, to please their friends...to "Fit in" and not rock the "Boat of Acceptance...."

3. After a while, the new distributor gets to know some "Veteran Distributors.." and these folks "Tell it the way it is..."..and whine and complain to the new distributor, and the newbie starts to lower their dreams and goals to "Fall in line" with what is "real" in MLM...compromising their life again...

What if Abraham Lincoln had compromised His Standards?What if Thomas Jefferson had Compromised His Standards? What if Mother Teresa had compromised Her standards?

Greatness in ANY Leadership endeavor starts with a NO COMPROMISE Mindset and "Heartset" as well..... And the sad part about it, a lot of MLM Leaders are the one's who compromise their New Distributor's dreams and standards because they have not been dilligent in their own pursuit of success...(Are you guilty?)What can you do?

Start a "NO COMPROMISE Campaign" with your group....

1. Announce it to your group....and tell them NO ONE is going to steal their future as long as you are their Leader...NO ONE!

2) Tell them that Compromise is NOT AN OPTION in your group...amd you will STAY THE COURSE-REACH THE DREAM...which is the true Secret of Leadership in this Business...and the 3 most important words to drive your campaign: NO MATTER WHAT!

3. And "NO COMPROMISE" Flyers, button, stickers, whatever you want to promote the message....and everytime you chat with your Leaders...remind them... Only People who DON"T ACHIEVE THEIR DREAMS... compromise...We WILL achieve our dreams.... NO MATTER WHAT!

And one final thought... The Last word in Compromise is Promise....

Are you focused on that part of the word?If you have compromised, you have broken a Sacred Leadership Promise, and Trust, to Navigate your folks to Success...

What does a promise mean to you?What does your Vision and your Folk's Vision mean to them?

DON"T let life, or negative people compromise your future, dreams, and Success...

Don't Compromise..... but CAN-Promise.... and Lead your people to a future that CAN and WILL be achieved...but only with a NO COMPROMISE Leadership..... NO MATTER WHAT!

Compromise... The "Creeping Cancer" of MLM Leadership...

Cut the Tumor out at the Heart of the Cancer....

with Radical and Massive Radiation Treatment called... Passionate Leadership in MLM and Network Marketing.!

MLM Blogs for MLM Success-Are You Thinking Yourself Out of Success?

"Are you Thinking Yourself Out of Success?"
(c) 2005 Doug Firebaugh

After nearly 20 years in this MLM industry, I have seen a lot of things that for whatever reason, have helped people, and have stopped people. And thereare those things that destroy people as well...

Many of us have taught many tactics and strategies (many you will learn in the PassionFire Training Letter) to help people create Success in their business, but I have found the weirdest thing happening: Many folks have great ideas about succeeding, but their thinking is taking them totally out of the game of Network Marketing.

They engage the actions that are meant to create successful outcomes, but yet, get the same results as before.

Why?

Understand this: You work this business twice. First between your ears, then between your hours.

And all that happens between your hours is nothing more than a phtotgraph of what is between your ears. READ THAT AGAIN!

FIRST you think and see it in your mind, and then when you go and work the business, it is a replica of what you saw in your brain. It is impossible to take any kind of action without thinking it first.

No exceptions. It may take only a second, but first you think it and see it, then you do it.

And most of the time, we think:

"I will try this, but it probably will not work.."

"I'll probably get another NO".

"Why can't I do this like the succesful people do?"

"Here goes nothing"...

"I am no good at this business..."

"Why isn't this working for me????"

FIREStarter Secret:

WHAT you are sending out to people, they will send back to you. If you are thinking hesitantly, they will be hesitant to join you. If you are thiniking doubtful, they will be doubtful about joining you. If you are thinkiing failure, they will feel your failure...

But, if you are thinking confident, and they feel confidence, the odds just went up for them to enroll with you.

If you truly see yourself succeeding in your thoughts, then you will replicate that in your actions and people will respond acordingly.

If you are thinking, "This is so easy and I am going to radically successful!", they will feel that and be attracted to your thinking.

Inferno Secret:

"Practice" in your mind everything you do, before you do it. "Before you send out, work the Success in!"

Practice:

Phone calls. Appointments. Home Business Meetings. Conversations. Follow ups. Asking for the order. Everything.

And see yourself winning at MLM, and helping others win at life as well.

Remember:

The thinking that you do before you take action, will soak your actions and words, and your prospect will feel it.

Cmon...let's be honest....

What are your prospects feeling from you as well as your thinking?

Are you thinking yourself out of Success?

MLM Blogs for MLM Success- MLM Leadership Secrets

"Leadership is about magnetic communication. Leaders have a way of communicating that draws people towards the vision, and the horizon.."
DF

Leaders in Network Marketing have a totally different way to communicate than the average person.

They communicate with word pictures that have Power and Purpose. Most people communicate with words that have weakness and wishing. Leaders never say what does not point to the horizon as they understand that your communication is either LEADING people or Losing people. Leading is a forward focused proposition in Network Marketing.

No exceptions.

IN MLM, you MUST communicate with Power, as that is what will drive the people forward.

Power in your Voice.

Power in your Commitment.

Power in your Focus.

Power in your Intentions.

Power in your Words.

Power in your Heart.

And Power in an Unwavering Decision to go to the top of the mountain.

Do you have that kind of POWER in your communication?

If not, you may want to look at the MLM Communication lab:

CommunicationLab

Leadership is about communicating with a direction and Passion that moves people.

FireStarter Tip: ALL Leaders understand your communication should be a mobilizing force in your downline and home business.

Is it?

MLM Blogs for MLM Blog Success- 5 Ways to Open a Conversation with People

MLM Network Marketing Training Success Secrets: The 5 Ways to Open a Conversation with People...
By Doug Firebaugh/copyright 2004


Opening up conversation with people is for many an uncomfortable task. IT shouldn't be. Conversation is the secret to this MLM business, and there are 5 very easy ways to open up a conversation with someone that you would like to meet.

WARNING in MLM.

But I must warn you!

DON'T come across like you are "up to something". People will read right through that. Keep your focus on serving the masses with Network Marketing , and helping people solve life problems with your home business and products, and simply wanting to meet a friend you have not met yet.

These ideas are very basic, but few do them when they are out and about.

Here are 5 ways:

1) Compliment them on something they are wearing or carrying.

People like to be noticed. Simple and plain. They like to be noticed for what they are "displaying" about themselves. What they are wearing or carrying is telling you a little bit about who they are...

I always start a compliment with a question:
"Would it be ok if I paid you a compliment about something I have noticed about you?"
Or if it's a guy...."You know, I don't give out a lot of compliments, but I like that suit you have on. Very professional. Good cut.". This will set up anticipation, and not come across like you are phony, ar insincere which many folks do...they have the wrong intentions when they compliment someone. Plus people will feel good that you noticed!

2) Ask for directions.

I use to do this all the time when in a mall in a town I was new to. I would ask if they knew were a particular store was, or a place to eat. Then I would say I am from out of town, or new to this neighborhood, and asked if they lived around here.
Then I would ask them if they had a family,hobby...etc. Then I would say...."Maybe you can help me...you may know who I am looking for..."

The POWER Home Business Question.

3) Ask what they do for a living.

One of the most powerful things you can do when Networking, is ask a person "What do you do?" Then ask another question about what they just said.
Then ask another question about what they just said.....and you will start finding out about them and who them might know to help you.

"Gotta card?" is a great way to extend this conversation into a later time.

4) Carry a book on Success or Leadership and casually ask people if they have read it.

Then ask them if they like to read and if they read Success and Leadership books. If they do, discuss the last one they read, and one they would recommend.
Get them talking about Success and ask them if they are a Student of Success. You will be surprised at the people you meet that are! And looking for a new future!

5) Ask for their name after giving yours.

This one is so simple, but few do it. "Hi, my name is Doug. How are you? I apologize for asking this, what is your name? I have never had the pleasure of meeting you." This is such a simple way to meet people. You even apologize for bothering them for their name, which is a soft way of asking for it, and you almost always get it this way!
Open up as many conversations as you can, and your business will skyrocket!

The MLM Standard.

Oh...here is one final opener:

Smile.
Look in their eyes.
Nod your head.
Stick your hand out to shake theirs.
And say..."I am sorry,but I don't know who you are. My name is Mary, I am with ABC Company. May I have your name ?"
Open your eyes wide.. And SMILE!

MLM Blogs for Network Marketing Success-Ten Commandments of MLM Leadership

The 10 Commandments for MLM Leadership
By Doug Firebaugh


1) THOU SHALT MAKE A DECISION TO LEAD.

Simply, there is nothing more powerful in this Industry than a True decision to Lead. It seems when that happens; you literally become magnetized to Success.

How can you tell a True Decision? It is a Decision from the heart, not just the mind. You simply cannot imagine traveling down any other Path, because of the Success Power in Decision.

Right in the middle of the word Decision is the word "Is". If you are looking for the Secret of Success to this business, there it "Is'

2) THOU SHALT HAVE AN IGNITED VISION.

Your Vision needs to be more than just on course or on track. It needs to be ONFIRE! It needs to be Crystal Clear, Powerful, and Hot! As my friend John Milton Fogg says, " A leader when they meet people, should either Ignite them, or Melt them."

It needs to be a consuming Vision OnFire that people are compelled to enroll in and buy into, whether it is wealth, helping people, or changing the world.

The real Power in your Vision , the real "Heat" is in the Fire in your Heart…where the Vision is birthed and ignited, and ignites others hearts with Hope, Possibilities, and Change.

3) THOU SHALT DIRECT, GUIDE, AND NAVIGATE.

You must as a Leader have a plan, a step by step trail, and direct your people down the MLM Power Path. You must guide them along the way to solve challenges, and navigate them through storms that do happen in this business and life.

How?

With your support, coaching, caring, instructing, and believing. Remember, the North Star of your organization and compass for your people is your Leadership. Navigation requires knowing where you are, but also where you are headed, and how you are going to get there.

The Last syllable in Navigate is Gate. You must provide the Gate to Success for others …It is up to them to open it and walk through.

4) THOU SHALT CREATE INFLUENCE THROUGH ETHICS, INTEGRITY, & SINCERE CARING.

There is nothing more powerful and compelling than a Leader who cares more about their distributor's paycheck, than their own. People are magnetized to it.

And the influence that creates through the ethics that are needed to do it, is enormous. But as a leader, you must always display ethics and integrity to maintain respect with your people.

And sincere caring Leaders know, people don 't follow what you say, or what you do, as much as who you are.

5) THOU SHALT CREAT AN ENVIRONMENT OF HOPE, POSSIBILITIES, & EXPECTANCY.

You must create an environment that your distributors can grow and thrive in. An environment of hope and possibilities, and that the hope will be crystallized into Success. You must also create an environment of expectancy.

Leaders know that people usually rise to the level of their expectations. Believe and expect big things from your people. As oxygen is to a population, your belief is to your organization.

Let your distributors "breathe the air of Success", in MLM, which gives life to every distributor, and creates an Incredibly Empowering environment.

6) THOU SHALT EMPOWER EVERYONE THROUGH BELIEF, KNOWLEDGE, & ENCOURAGEMENT.

Leaders have an incredible chance to empower people, and change their life through this business. And the greatest way to empower is to believe in them. The 4 most powerful words in network marketing are "I believe in You!"

And through the Power of Encouragement, like "You can do it!" and the proper knowledge of how to do it, you will become their biggest supporter, and cheerleader. Believe and encourage your people...through Heart Power and the Fire of Belief.

7) THOU SHALT BE OUT IN FRONT, NOT STUCK IN THE BACK.

Leaders are a lighthouse in a sea of adversity and frustration in network marketing. And your distributors must always be looking forward.

Being out in front also means doing what your teaching them and setting the example. You must understand, your distributors quietly watch you, and observe.

You will never know it, but they are watching to see if you practice what you are preaching. If you are not, they will quietly duplicate what you are doing. Show them the way, and lead them through what we a PassionFire call "The New Distributor Fog"…the fog of doubt, frustration, and discouragement. You do that by leading them through the fog with your light of Leadership.

8) THOU SHALT STAND BEHIND THE SPOTLIGHT.

Leaders know: You make the Big Money from the back of the room. Do you understand that? Too many distributors get leadership and what we call "celebrityitis" mixed up. A lot of distributors become a celebrity when they get successful, and to the detriment of their group.

Leaders who build permanent downlines put the recognition spotlight on their people then stand behind it, and stay there. Yes, Leaders do need to be visible to inspire, but the Power lies in recognizing and celebrating every little attempt or success to encourage and build the distributor's confidence in this business.

Why?

People will do more for recognition than money. That's Leadership 101.

9) THOU SHALT CONSTRUCT, NOT CONSTRICT.

We at PassionFire believe in the L.I.A.C.P. Principle.

Leadership Is A Construction Project.

First, you must build you, and construct the skills; attitudes, habits, and thinking you need to succeed in this business. Then you must construct your people, through all we have been talking about in this article. And then you construct your business.

Most distributors constrict their business with a very limiting self-focus, and looking out for #1 attitude. The average distributor has a selfish focus. Leaders have a selfless focus.

And that brings us to what we call "The MLM Leadership Paradox". You must construct your business by building you first, downline second, and business third, but all at the same time.

If you understand what I just said, you are on your way to building a retirement vehicle.

10) THOU SHALT BUILD RELATIONSHIPS, NOT JUST DISTRIBUTORSHIPS.

What is the Secret to building A Million-Dollar Distributorship?

You build Million Dollar Relationships.

Remember that it is easier to walk away from a business than a friend. Get to know your folks, especially your Leaders as people, not just a paycheck. Get to know their dreams, what is important to them, and especially what they value. Spend personal time with your leaders, and develop that bond. Visit their house, their workplace, "Their world", and make it a part of yours.

And always, always, always put their interests ahead of yours. That will create amazing loyalty, which will create amazing motivation, which will create amazing paychecks.

Get on a ship and sail on the sea of relating, and when people discover you are truly interested in them; that is when your paycheck becomes truly interesting.

These are the "Ten Commandments of Network Marketing MLM Leadership 2005."

I encourage you in this new Millennium to start engaging your business through the eyes of a Leader, not just a distributor. The impact on your business will be enormous.

And once you discover how the journey of leadership will transform you in all aspects of your life, the year 2000 will be for you without limits, barriers, or failure, and you will be on a one-way track to all the success you ever dreamed of.

And that is what Network Marketing is supposed to be about…Unbridled, and unstoppable Success.

And the Secret?

Leadership!
