August 18, 2010 - perhaps the most important post in the history of chippynews.com
Please consider forwarding this
information to 10+ friends and
entrepreneurs. For many Americans,
this will be an easy and profitable
way to cash in on the Second Baby
Boom. This is not theory. 100 million
young Americans--from 5 to 30--are
already beginning to influence the
economic and political trends of our
country, and I know this matters to you.
The impact of this New Boom will be
as far-reaching as what we saw in the
fifties, sixties, and seventies (but
this time we are looking ahead).
We havebeen in a deep recession and the wounds will not be fully healed
for years. But there are reasons to
be optimistic about the next 30 years
(and ways to profit).
Let your friends know (for health and
economic reasons).
For some of us, this is our last big
chance!

August 8, 2010 Can You Move
The Needle? Someone recently said to me, "This appears to be a reading business. I don't know if I want to read all the stuff on Chippynews.com and all the emails." They were taking a shot at my habit of putting a lot of advice in writing. Hey, if you can get to Ruby or higher without reading, more power to you. On the other hand, if you like reading, consider these questions... Are you influential? Are you a pacesetter? Does what you say make a difference? When you really set your mind to it, can make things happen? Can you make big things happen? In other words, can you move the needle? Will other people follow your lead? Is your lead worth following? Even if the obstacles are big ones, can you overcome them and get the job done? Are you setting a strong example? How strong is your determination? How strong is your desire? Have you ever taken an "I'm going to do it or die" stance? Have you taken that kind of stance with respect to Vollara? If so, are you moving the needle? --- --- ---
More than once a week, some serious distributor asks me, "Bob, it's not happening for me (or it's happening too slowly). What am I doing wrong? What do you suggest?" Quite often this is someone who has worked long and hard. Or it might be someone who has only worked for a few weeks but who hasn't had anything good happen. There is no single answer, but I can say this: If you are asking that question you probably haven't done all the things that are covered in The Spiral Notebook Plan. I just went through the 8 pages of that plan and made a few updates. It takes 45 minutes to read. There is a lot to absorb. But it is golden. --- --- ---
Go back to the top of this newsletter and reread all the questions that were posed. There might be some pearls of wisdom in there. Vollara is yours for the taking. I can't tell every person exactly what to do. Each person has to figure out the ultimate answers for himself or herself. I am very convinced that this is the right company and the right plan. I am convinced that the Ruby rank is the place to be. Or higher. --- --- ---
Sincerely and enthusiastically, Bob Giddens

Second Part of the Million Friends Presentation that is Under Development http://app.talkfusion.com/fusion2/player/v_player.asp?videoId=211469 August 4, 2010 updated
What's all the excitement about?
Why have we changed to a new supplier for our water ionizer?
In 1989, a Japanese-educated engineer patented the first water ionizer engine; an electrolysis chamber that allowed home water ionizers to produce consistent high pH and high negative ORP restructured water. In 2005, that same engineer made a quantum leap outside of the electrolysis chamber box and patented Direct Disk Ionization. Just one platinum-coated titanium disk could now do the work of multiple electrodes and membranes, reducing both cost and maintenance.
Since the first home water ionizer was introduced, the competitive field has been about who has the most power or surface area. No longer. Now it’s all about results and affordability. The LivingWater ionizer retails for $1,999.99. Same results for less than half the price...sounds like a great idea!
The LivingWater™ Ionizer from Vollara is Smart Technology Welcome to the next generation water ionizer for a healthy body, a healthy home and a healthy life.
• No plates or membranes required. Direct Disk Ionization uses far less precious metals and requires less maintenance. Water is free-flowing through the ionizer...there’s nothing in the way to allow mineral scale to clog up the process. Accidental use of hot water will not harm the unit since there are no membranes.
• Environmentally sound, energy efficient. Consciously designed to use less of the earth’s precious metal resources and the least amount of electrical energy to produce the desired result... and the ionizer disk is recyclable!
• Optimal results. Produces a great negative ORP (oxidation-reduction potential) with a higher flow rate than old technology electrolysis chambers.
• Optimal safety. Mineral scale causes platinum plating to wear away on solid plates, and mesh plates, while they cost less, have exposed titanium alloy that results in minute quantities of heavy metals leaching into the water.
• Any water hardness is OK. While old technology ionizers have problems with water high in minerals (high TDS), Vollara’s smart technology adjusts to TDS in the thousands as well as well below 100. TDS levels are monitored and power output is adjusted accordingly to produce a constant pH level.
• Continuous use. A water cooled power supply allows for continual operation without ever overheating. Conventional solid or mesh plate ionizers can only operate for a limited time before they shut down due to overheating.
• High quality filter. A double filtration system removes chlorine and other contaminants from tap water and makes natural coral calcium available when water is acidic or soft. Water from reverse osmosis purification systems can often gain enough calcium to become ionized. Water from non-salt water softeners is also ionized by our Smart Technology.
• World-wide use. Can be used in any power environment with a plug adapter.

July 26, 2010 The person who builds 5 Strong Legs (see diagram to understand 1 strong leg) will have a minimum income of $1,800 per week and an up-side potential of $7,500 per week. This is where I want you to go. This is where I want you to take your people. Make a firm commitment now, work hard, and you can be at the top of this plan by the end of 2012.
The bottom side of Ruby: $1,800 per week x 4.2 weeks
per month = $7,560 per month..
Ultimate Ruby Income: $7,500
per week x 52 weeks = $390,000 per year.

Note: Yes, Mila and I have a meeting on the first Thursday of September. Instead of being at the Golden Corral it will be at our home. It will be a Pot Luck function. Distributors are asked to RSVP and bring a dish. Guests do not have to bring a dish but they can if they want to. The Pot Luck dinner begins at 7:00 PM sharp. We will have our 4 air conditioners on maximum. Bring prospects. Bring guests. The date is Thursday, Sept 2nd. Park along the street but do not put your tires on our neighbors' grass. Drive through the circular drive to drop off your guests and download your food. I want Lakeland people to come. I want Jacksonville people to come. I want Melbourne people to come. I want Okeechobee people to come. Plan your day. Be on time. 9 Stone Gate N -- Longwood, FL 32779 -- Longwood is 12 miles N of downtown Orlando (south and west of Sanford) From I-4, go W on Lake Mary Blvd. Proceed 2 miles. L on Markham Woods Rd. Proceed .7 miles and enter the Ravensbrook subdivision on your left. Inside Ravensbrook, take the first L to Stone Gate N. Our road swings to the right. #9 is the 5th home on the left. The only home with flowers along the street.
Now for a training essay... Five strong legs. Five strong legs. Five Strong Legs. Ten are even better, but at least start with 5. A serious person can have 5 strong legs started within a year, maybe sooner...but those legs have to be fleshed out to look like the model that is shown. Each Strong Leg must contain:
.....................1. A
leader who is recruiting
.....................2. A
leader who is 100% committed to Vollara products
.....................3. A
leader who is committed to developing 5 or more Strong
Legs
.....................4.
Sub-leaders on the Leg Leader's first level
.....................5.
Leaders who understand what leadership is and teach it
.....................6.
Additional sub-leaders down in the group
.....................7.

August 2, 2010
The biggest challenge is to get other people to understand and work the 5 Strong Legs Idea. Many people claim to understand; but in various ways, large and small, they don’t. They don’t put enough focus on the importance of legs. They talk a lot about products and not at all about leg building. They are good workers and dedicated people, but they just don’t quite understand why legs are so important. Your challenge is to convert these people. A person who works products, products, products will underachieve. It would be as if Ray Kroc had spent all his time making and selling hamburgers and none of his time building franchises. The franchising work is the BIG MONEY work. Does that help? If you stick to this plan—5 Strong Legs, 5 Strong Legs, 5 Strong Legs—you can eventually secure your future. You’ll talk about the 5 Strong Legs idea hundreds of times. You have to get each of your Legs over the hump—and multiple leaders must be convinced in each leg. This task is complicated by the fact that your leaders will be quite varied. You’ll have some in their seventies and others in their twenties. You’ll have people who are well off and others who are broke. You’ll have those who like selling and those who hate it; people who like newsletters and others who hate reading. Somehow you have to get the job done. Don’t expect it to be easy. It is not easy to make a third of a million dollars per year and it never will be. But it’s doable. Now it’s time for some honesty. Do you have any existing Strong Enrollment Tree Legs (match what you have against the graphic at the top of this newsletter—20 Active distributors, several of which are leader candidates)? How many Strong Leg candidates (already recruited) do you have? How many Strong Leg prospects are on your list? The time to get on the right track is now. You are never more than 1 year away from Ruby.

July 26, 2010 The link below is a first draft of our Million Friends short presentation. There will be a number of edits, but this gives you an idea. This should be enough to get you excited. The full presentation will be complete very soon. http://app.talkfusion.com/fusion2/view.asp?NTY4NjQ5_3600688 The presentation will soon link to a second part. Here is a rough draft of that segment. http://app.talkfusion.com/fusion2/view.asp?NTc3NTk4_3600688 Also visit: www.chippynews.com/MillionFriendsIndex.htm
Hopeful Again I haven't checked on David
McBurney's progress yet (since
returning from our trip),
but I will get an update tomorrow. This email message was
written a month ago. Best wishes to David McBurney from
Deland, FL, who is lying in bed recovering from a stroke.
Wanda found him on his office floor a few nights ago, his left
side incapacitated. He's looking at months of rehab to regain
the ability to walk. As if that's not enough, most of David's
EcoQuest income came from commercial business. Now that he'll be
unable to do mold work and commercial sales he has to rebuild
his network (with one arm and one leg not working)
just to survive. We don't all get kicked in the gut as David & Wanda just did, but we all have challenges. There are hundreds of nice highlights mixed into the flow of our lives, but the other 90% generally boils down to one big, constant challenge. By nature, we are optimistic. Hunters expect to find game. Fishermen expect to find fish. Gatherers expect to find fruits and nuts and even honey. We always hope for the best. That great job. The right investment. An invention that takes off. The winning lottery ticket. Young men dream of making it big in sports. Women dream of having the perfect marriage and building a successful family. Five times I have dreamed of writing a blockbuster novel (The Impossible Dream, Deep Creek, Six Visits To Earth, The Great Wall of America, Irkutsk, there have been others, too!). Seven times I've dreamed of making it big in multilevel marketing (Amway, Shaklee, Eagle Shield, Fischer International, Zenith, MXM Essential Formulas, Alpine/EQ/Vollara, and others). In every case I've given it my all, or pretty close to it. You could probably say the same thing about your best efforts. This essay is written in the first person, but I'm in good shape right now. My business is the strongest in Vollara. I've paid the big price and a couple times I've come out on top. Unfortunately, many of my friends are not as comfortable as I am. Times are tough... But these are my two hopes: I hope we can all be sitting on top of the world at the same time... And I hope that day comes no later than 2012. Here's what I know. No matter how many lumps and reversals life dumps on us, we eventually and invariably find ways to be excited and optimistic about something else. I wonder how many times we've said, "Okay, I'm going to do this one more time." Real estate deals have gone south. Investments have flopped. Health challenges have taken their toll. Relationships have taken bad turns. Governmental red tape has driven us berserk. Companies have gone under. And, yet, here we are; hopeful again! Even after the greatest of tragedies, there will still come a day when your life will have changed and you will feel new moments of emotional happiness. If you're not hopeful this very moment, I predict you will be soon. It's your nature. I have evaluated the Vollara situation carefully. I've gotten to know the owners. I've studied the times. And I know network marketing. My conclusions are these: 1. Timing absolutely could not be better. Even the fact that Vollara isn't having explosive growth yet is good. It's in our best interest to get a lot more leaders lined up on the starting line before the explosive stuff begins. 2. The Vollara owners absolutely are going to make good on their pledge to take this company to the stratosphere. Every move they make won't be prefect. That's not how business works. But they have the skills, the resources, and the commitment to make it go. 3. Now the question of how. The answer is Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby. You need five strong legs so I said Ruby five times. About twenty years ago one branch of Amway decided to bet the farm on Diamond. They promoted the Diamond rank and taught hundreds upon hundreds of people to focus on that one rank. In their company (with lots of negative publicity always going against them) they rewrote the record books. 4. Then there's the Million Friends system. All I can give you for now is a sneak preview. http://app.talkfusion.com/fusion2/view.asp?NTY4NjQ5_3600688 You can use any business building system you want, but put the Million Friends system somewhere in your agenda. Use it 10% of the time, 50%, or 99%. We have something wonderful and I want YOU to be in on it. 5. The US economy. We've been in a recessionary hole for 2 years and it will be another 2 before most Americans feel like the recession is over. But I'm looking 15 and 20 and 25 years ahead. This Second Baby Boom we are having is America's new secret weapon. It is a game changer. I urge you to dig into what is happening and get on this bandwagon as early as possible. This time, let's make our success so HUGE that we will have it made for the rest of our lives. Sincerely and Enthusiastically, Bob Giddens

June 24, 2010 My Million Friends Explanation Guide No More Procrastination, No More Excuses, My Commitment Letter is Signed Today
You don't have to be 100% committed to the Million Friends System to sign the commitment letter at the bottom. You do have to want to improve your life through Vollara. You have to be tired of being broke, tired of worrying about your future. You have to be ready to change. The Vollara DVDs have been shipped and our Million Friends mini-website will be ready very soon. These projects go together, they belong together. The photos below come from the DVD.
The DVD presents Vollara as a conceptually solid company with an infinite future. But no network marketing company has ever been able to convey the "in the trenches" realities of networking through their corporate video. Our Million Friends mini-website tells the real story in real voices.
Second Part of the Million Friends Presentation that is Under Development http://app.talkfusion.com/fusion2/player/v_player.asp?videoId=211469
Now let's get back to our explanation... 1. Vollara is absolutely going to achieve greatness. Joe Urso and his management team have demonstrated their passion and commitment for 15 months. The marketplace is ready. Everything isn't perfect yet. But guess what? There will never be a time when everything is perfect. 2. The US economy is in a "never like this before and never again" state... § The crash of 2008 has brought us to the lowest point we will see for the rest of our lives. There is nowhere to go but up. No matter how bad our losses and pains might have been, we would be crazy to ignore this and not take advantage of it. We're not crazy. Nor are our friends crazy. Nor is the public at large crazy. But most people have to be alerted to the realities of this unique time. They haven't put the clues together and don't know where we stand. Americans need to be alerted. That's what Million Friends can do. But we need messengers. That's where you and I come in. § Baby Boom #2 is not theoretical. We have 100 million young people between 5 and 30. The advantages of this are profound. Young people are ambitious and inventive. They are consumers. Between ages 25 and 60 they require a lot less government support. They pay taxes. § We are the only large, modern country to have this advantage. For four decades the US has been losing ground to international competition. This was caused, in part, by our corporations taking their projects and jobs offshore. It was also caused by the computer era. Smart people in China and India—and there are plenty of smart people out there—have become empowered to compete on the world stage. § Energy issues caught us flat-footed. Every generation of politicians dropped the ball in this case. Neither party can point the finger at the other guys. Energy costs are draining us. I hope the new Boomers will save us. It won't happen completely in my lifetime, but I'll live long enough to see these young people grow in influence. They'll use their brains and votes and passions to say "NO MORE" to the old ways. I think they will profoundly change the American political landscape. Heaven knows, it needs changing. 3. Joe Urso and his guys have put us in a position to capitalize on the opportunities of our day. Most of us have no part to play in solving our country's energy problems. We can't influence our political system. But we can analyze the circumstances and take advantage of them. We can be a small part of the bigger picture. We can do our part to make the economy healthier. And we can enlist other people to these same objectives. We can do this by telling the Vollara story! The big solutions we all want can only happen in a healthy economy. By doing our small part we can help our country and make ourselves rich at the same time. 4. By the way, there is nothing wrong with wanting to be rich...or with wanting to help other people become rich...or with getting romantic about our methods...or with being patriotic. 5. We can also do nothing. I contend, however, that the timing is so spectacular right now...that millions of people WILL get more involved. They will act on their ambitions. They will catch on to these are positive times and do whatever they can to win. If we do nothing, we will lose ground. Inflation will come to America with a vengeance in the next decade. Do we want to be a losers? We actually have a choice. 6. Whatever we choose will not be easy. Life isn't easy. Never has been, never will be. Joe Urso is working to make Vollara better and easier. The Million Friends System has been designed to make things easier. But easy and easier are relative terms. If you decide to build a strong Ruby distributorship and earn a solid $390,000 per year, you're going to have to swim some raging rivers and climb some high mountains. Even with 200 Vollara's DVDs, a Million Friends mini-website, and a heart bursting with determination...it will still be hard. My Million Friends Declaration No More Procrastination, No More Excuses, My Commitment Letter is Signed Today Product Commitment: Autoship-plus Rank Commitment: Ruby-plus Leadership Commitment: I will help no fewer than 41 people change their lives... The most important of those 41 is me! The people who will make the following commitments include Alpine/EcoQuest/Vollara veterans and new people who don't even know what Alpine or EcoQuest were. We have people who have been committed to this company and its products for 5 years, 10 years, even 20 years. We have full time career people, we have a few who made millions in the Alpine glory days only to see their groups shrink to insignificance, and we have others who have been around for years without ever doing much. The formula for today is the same for all of us: Product Commitment - I use Vollara's three major product line—water, air, nutrition—because I believe in Uncompromising Health and also because I believe in marketing leadership. Rank Commitment - My goal is to build a Ruby-plus business that has width, depth, and back-up power. I will achieve all three of these parameters (width, depth, back-up) within one year from today. Leadership Commitment - I will get to know my people and support them by (a) setting solid personal example, (b) encouraging and assisting them personally, and (c) working in depth in each of my legs.
Let's break down the elements of my commitment: My Rank Commitment - The Ruby rank, by definition, requires 5 Strong Legs. Technically, I can qualify as a Ruby by having 5 "Team Leader 500" legs in a single week. But the following week I would probably not be a Ruby (because income status has to be re-established every week). The solution is to adopt a higher standard. I will build 5 Strong Legs which, in each case, contain (1) a committed Leg Leader, (2) at least 20 Active Distributors, and (3) increasing numbers of Leaders down in depth. The Leg Leader at the top does not have to be someone I personally recruited. But it has to be in a Leg I started. In other words, it cannot be a person who was put into my Placement Tree by someone upline from me. Sorry. Ranks are based on Enrollment Tree strength.
If I do this 2 times I will be a Gold, and if I compare my earnings to what I would have earned as a Manager in the old Alpine or EcoQuest plan I will be disappointed. Gold is not a high-paying level. If I do this 5 times I will be a Ruby, and I will be happy with my income! But I won't be a Ruby-plus. If I do this 6 times I will be stronger. I might even qualify as Diamond. If I do this 7 times I will be very strong. I might even qualify as Double Diamond. "Ruby-plus" is a higher standard, which I am adopting. I will work to develop twice as many legs as my "rank goal" requires. If my rank goal is Ruby, I will develop and work with at least 10 Leg Leaders. If I'm an old timer like James Clendenin or Ed Hutchins or John & Jo Clements or Dorothy Brodine or Judy Ciesielski, I will build at least 4 new legs to go along with however many old legs are still active from my Alpine/EcoQuest days. I need extra width because life has many ways of "getting in the way." Legs can be lost to natural or personal disasters or for other reasons. Just as we carry spare tires in our cars, so must we have some spare Legs. A committed leader can count on the Law of Averages, but he can't always count on each individual person.
My Depth Commitment - In each of my Strong Legs I will choose 4 Anchors to work with. An Anchor is a person who... 1. is a committed Leader 2. handles his or her own duties 3. I get along with and can work with 4. Ideally, is in a different geographical area. Each of my Anchors will set his or her own goal, but I'd like to have them working to be a Ruby-plus or better. When I said I would help no fewer than 41 people change their lives, this is what I was talking about: Myself and 4 Anchors in each of 10 Legs.
My Leadership Commitment - A leader's starting point is the example he sets. Are you "all in" with every ounce of commitment you are capable of? Is your spouse on board with you? Have you read this webpage? Have you made the appropriate Autoship commitment? Have you started making contacts? As a leader I will stay informed about all Vollara matters. I will do this by reading from my website, by attending conference calls, by attending functions, and through outside sources. To be a good resource for my people I must know what is going on. I must also get to know my people. Their names, phone numbers, email and postal addresses. That's pretty basic, but most network marketing leaders do not have a complete file of their people. When it comes to your Anchors, you must know them in close up and personal ways. I will learn how to "Reach Over The Shoulder" of my people and get to know more an more people down in the network.
My Commitment in Writing - I have read this material and I agree. No more messing around. I will work with the Million Friends mini-website and with the company DVDs. I have started today.
I will complete this table and send it to my upline helper (may or may not be my sponsor). This is a different layout of the old form we call a Leg Chart.
Affirmations - 1. I will read my Affirmations aloud every morning (including this one). 2. Today is a new day. I will take advantage of this day and make something of it. If I have not already made a written "To Do List," I will get a blank piece of paper and start one now. I will work on some of my old tasks today, but I will also make something new happen. 3. Without hesitation I can name the leaders of my best legs. Their phone numbers are in my cell phone and on my Leg Chart. I am Reaching Over The Shoulder of each leader and getting to know the downline people...not necessarily everyone, but the good ones. My objective is to find additional Leaders and eventually to find Anchors. 4. I am determined to recruit some NEW ambitious people who are looking to change their circumstances. I will use my Million Friends mini-website to break the ice and determine their interest. 5. A Leg is not Strong until it contains a Primary Leader and twenty Active people. The way to get to more "Actives" is to get more and more sub-Leaders in that Leg. Everything flows from Leadership. 6. I will print these Affirmations and post them in visible places. My bathroom. My refrigerator. My office. My car. My television area.

May 26, 2010 Career-building Tips 1. ALLOW yourself to get excited about the long term possibilities that are being unleashed for yourself, your distributors, your family, your future distributors, and all the people down the line who can potentially be impacted by these announcements. 2. DECIDE that you will be stronger than ever as an advocate for the Vollara opportunity and product lines. 3. BRING OTHERS into your sphere of conviction. Vollara is a network marketing company. Its success and your success and your distributors' success all depend on the enlargement of our sphere of conviction. Your success in this area will be a function of your attitude, your actions, your determination and the strategies you employ. 4. BUILD IT WIDE. We don't all have the same goals, but the Ruby rank (Level 9 of 20) is an ideal general goal. A great way to start your journey is to aim for Ruby. You can raise or lower this goal later on. A Ruby Business requires 5 strong Enrollment Tree legs. Not 2...this has nothing to do with the Binary part of our plan. A Ruby with 5 strong legs will earn a minimum bonus check of $1,800 every week. That comes to $93,600 per year. That's the absolutely minimum a Ruby with 5 strong legs can earn in 52 weeks. The upper potential for a Ruby is $390,000 per year. You don't need 5 Team Leader 500 legs; you need 5 strong legs. It is a higher standard. 5. PERSIST. Things are looking up for Vollara distributors and leaders like never before in our young experience. But that does not mean it will be easy or that you will get rich overnight. $93,000 and $300,000 incomes do not come without months and years of focus and activity. May 26 is a starting point, not a destination. 6. GIVE THANKS. The former EcoQuest people know that we almost didn't survive. Sixteen months ago we were on the verge of extinction. Joe Urso and the Aerus group entered the picture and saved us. They invested 25 years of business experience, millions of dollars and 100-hour work weeks to bring us to today. They brought a new and bigger vision to this company. Even new people--who were not formerly a part of EcoQuest--can appreciate that this massive opportunity did not come together by accident. A lot of people have given their all to make it so. 7. BELIEVE in yourself and in our wonderful collective future. Believe in your products, believe in your company, believe in your people. When you tell someone how great this opportunity is, believe your own words. We invite you to listen to the Million Friends Presentations this Friday night at 9:00 PM Eastern time. Dial in to 641-594-7500, code 546009#. Tune your computer to http://www.chippynews.com/ZIP.htm. If you stay for two hours, you will hear 3 different styles, three different personalities at work.

7 Wonderful Thoughts Dear Major Leg Leaders: Have you scrolled to the bottom of www.chippynews.com/ZIP.htm and looked at my Goals Presentation? You might find your picture there. We've just had the most positive promotional week since 1997. Most of you participated. It's a great start. Besides the things you heard on the Urso/Giddens calls, some behind the scenes things also encourage me. We've still got a ways to go, and that's why I am sending this email. Here are my Top 7 thoughts of the weekend:
I caught the MLM vitamin wave in the seventies and the air purification wave in the nineties. We're at the threshold of a new wave RIGHT NOW. Sincerely and enthusiastically, Bob Giddens PS - Don't wait for things to change. Be an instrument of change yourself. Don't wait for something you feel your upline could or should do. Don't wait until you get younger. That ain't going to happen. The time is now. |

April 29, 2010
Dear Million Friends Participants and Candidates: Are you going to read this? Are you going to pass it on? Are you going to join us? On Wednesday, 4/28, our campaign took a giant stride forward. Dick Schreiber began our call at 10:00 PM Eastern. He handed off to Karen Schwelling at 10:45. Her presentation was over at 10:05 and we did some open line chatting. Giddens started at 10:30 and finished at 11.01. We did the Million Friends Presentation 3 times (but with 3 different styles; several people said Karen was better than the big shots). I tracked the number of connections. We had only 17 when the call began but more kept arriving. We hit 33 about 15 minutes into Dick's presentation. Then it dropped off between calls. Some people called back, and we ended with 18 (one was snoring loudly). Not quite a critical mass, but good. Friday, 4/28, will be similar, but the start time is an hour earlier. Bob starts at 9:00 PM, Bea McNabb takes over at 9:45 and xxxxxxx will do the third presentation. What will critical mass do for us? I think we need 30 Full Leaders or Associates. That number is arbitrary, but I like it. We got to 33 on Wednesday but many people were late. They weren't there to speak up on the pre-call. Fully participating Leaders and Associates are participants who agree to listen (and speak their name/city) to 5+ calls per week. Critical mass calls will be more impressive to guests, the participants will be more inclined to invite guests, the speakers will be more inspired and guests will be more likely to show up. How, you might ask, can critical mass from Wed cause more new guests to show up on Fri? The answer: Leaders/Associates will be able to say, "We have people from all over the country. Dial in a few minutes early and listen to where people are calling from." That's a powerful thing to say. What's a Leader, what's an Associate? Leaders agree to be semi-regular speakers. They agree to invite existing distributors and new prospects. They know how to properly cover all the elements of our call:
--- --- --- The next email followed one day later --- --- --- Dear Bob Cloud (South Bend, IN/Kelly & Bill Davis group/also under John & Jo Clements): Love your message, Bob. I'm going to let the masses read it. Clearly Bob Cloud has read www.chippynews.com/Hawaii.htm.
--------------- --------------- ---------------
--------------- --------------- --------------- Bob: I like your new stand alone mini Chippynews webpages. Now we can send people to just the section we want. I have Hawaii 2013 at the top of and bottom of each page of my daily planner and read them aloud first thing each morning and last thing each night. Bob Cloud
---------------
--------------- --------------- ---------------
--------------- --------------- Other Leaders: Are you ready to opt in as Mr. Cloud did? Are you ready to listen to 5 calls per week...and come on early so you can say your name and city. Do you want to participate fully as a leader or listener? Will you start inviting guests to listen? "John, if there was a proven way for you to make $93,600 after one year and $390,000 after two years, would you be willing to dial in and listen?" "John, I didn't hear you on last night's call. Are you going to remember to listen next time?" Or do you want me to remove you from this series of emails? Each time I send an email to 100 people there are a few who opt in and a few who opt out. I'm going to keep working through the numbers for 2 more years. To me, success is a foregone conclusion. I'm not saying it will be easy; I'm saying it will happen. It's just a matter of crunching through the numbers, bringing in other people and solving the problems that come along. Can you get your mind to the point where mine is? Then you've must start crunching through numbers just as I am. I can guarantee 4 things: (1) Plenty of people will act uninterested and say no, (2) Other people will be interested and say yes, (3) Plenty of problems will get in the way, and (4) If you keep slogging ahead, any level of success is within reach. You don't have to be tall and good looking like David McBurney and James Clendenin. You don't have to be Mr. & Mrs. Personality as Jay & Lee Anita Huffman are. You don't have to have 40 years of network marketing experience as I have. The Great Equalizer is to get 4 solid Enrollment Tree legs. When that's done you will be home free. With 5 solid and working legs you be at or above $93,600 per year. Some hard charger will do it in 5 months. Someone else will take a year. Someone else will take 2 years. From there it's just a matter of keeping on. More slogging, more slogging. A year or 2 after you have 5 strong legs you'll be on Easy Street. Don't worry about the company's flaws or past problems. Decide to do it and start your journey. Remember that we're not in business just to sign up people or sell Fast Start Packs. We like lots of new recruits and we like Fast Start Packs; but the name of the game is to get ambitious, committed people who want to turn Vollara into their life's dream. Not only do you want 5 good ones; you also want your people to each have 5 good ones. Read www.chippynews.com/Hawaii.htm and see what you think. Join us tonight at 9:00 PM Eastern. Look for the details on www.chippynews.com. Sincerely and enthusiastically, Bob Giddens

April 20, 2010 The Million Friends Email "Study hard and get a good education. I don't want you to grow up and be like me." That kind of thinking was prominent when the Baby Boomers were growing up. "Get yourself an education. Get a good job." In many cases, a good job wasn't enough. The "good" auto industry jobs were hit twice by recessions and hardest of all by Japanese competition. Good Enron jobs turned out to be retirement suicide. Hundreds of similar examples could be cited. Even real estate careers finally flopped. Computers and software were on the other side of the coin. Teenagers born at the right time jumped on computers because they were the latest thing and because video games were more fun than homework. You know, if Bill Gates had been born in 1945 instead of 1955 he might have been fighting in Vietnam in 1974 instead of founding Microsoft. Instead of being one of the world's richest men, he might be one of millions of Americans who are not very good at setting the clocks on their VCR. "Excuse me, sir. We don't have VCRs anymore?" "Of course we do. I watched a CD movie last night." "That was a DVD. We use video disc players nowadays, not VCRs."
Remember the dot.com bubble when stocks soared to outrageous highs (some of you may have been too young)? Between 1995 and 2000 financial markets went from about where they are now to 3x higher in just 5 years. Average people who got the timing right and hit the best stocks became paper millionaires. Even multi-millionaires. They STAYED rich if they got out in time and paid their taxes. They lost it all if they held on too long. An even more damaging collapse happened 8 years later (known as the current recession) for different reasons. Yes, indeed, timing really matters. And that brings us to NOW. A major upswing has started. Do you believe it? Do you really know about it? Have you heard the term Echo Boom? Fact is, it could be worth MILLIONS to know why the boom is happening and when it will bust. We'll tell you what you need to know, and there's no cost. You don't have to come to a financial seminar or log in to a web site that will trap your address for marketing. Just call the number at the bottom of this letter and say, "Hey, my name is Xxxxxxx (last name is not required). I want to receive your free information. I understand you'll send me a document, provide a web address and tell me how to listen--anonymously--to a 35-minute conference call. I want to do all of my evaluation from home." Yes, you accurately stated our offer. We'll send the information immediately. You take it from there. We are in business, and there is a good chance you will be interested in working with us. But you'll have your facts in hand before you ever meet us face to face. You'll be collecting data like Clark Kent. You'll know the cost options down to the last penny. You'll be as empowered as Superman. Up front hints. 1. The Echo Boom started 30 years ago, so it's easy to look at the data. 2. The Echo Boom is projected to crash in 2032 (52 years from start to finish). By comparison, the Baby Boom started in 1945 and crashed 63 years later in 2008 (the 2 periods are similar but the correlation is not 100%). 3. There will be some ups and downs along the way. We've already felt the crash of 2008. 4. Earning $10,000,000 extra in the next 20 years is very doable once you see what's happening and take steps to cash in on your knowledge. 5. Ninety-nine percent of Americans--even some very shrewd ones--don't know about this yet. Call me and ask for our free email. It's called the Million Friends Email. So named because we plan to systematically inform 1 million people in the next 5 years. That's about 548 people per day. We're not keeping up with that pace right now. That's why we need your help. Sincerely, Bob Giddens |

April 13, 2010 More Convinced Than Ever After doing 4 meetings in an 8-day stretch I'm more convinced than ever that we are on the right course and heading for an exciting future. That does not mean it is easy to build a strong network. You can't just show up on a few conference calls and expect a career to fall in place. 1. There's no way around it. You'll have to talk to a lot of people. Many will say no. Others will say yes but do nothing. Others will show enthusiasm and then quickly die out. In the end, you can have a fantastic career if you only personally find 5 good ones. 2. You'll have to learn to sort out the good prospects from the duds and the serious distributors from the time-wasting talkers. It's called sorting. Developing skill in this area is more important than developing skill as a recruiter. 3. You'll have to be in the game with action, action, action. I strongly urge you to put meetings into your game plan. You can rely on meetings done by others, but your group will be stronger if you, too, are an advocate of meetings. 4. Make your initial run toward Ruby. Five strong legs are needed. To be sure of getting 5, work to build 10. Think about almost nothing else. Five wide. Five wide. Don't let petty problems or even big problems (service, product, computer) pull your thoughts away from an urgent and persistent desire to have 5 strong legs. 5. A good person is not a strong leg. Good people are important. When we get one, we have reason to rejoice. But a strong leg must contain 20 people and more. Twenty and growing. At least 3 of the 20 should be committed workers and leaders. Nor is 20 the end point. Twenty people in a leg are the beginning of a strong leg. 6. Spread out geographically. All 5 (or 10) of your legs should be geographically dispersed. 7. Learn where the Echo Boom is taking us. Get passionate about this. Other people need to know. Make it your business to spread this good news. Built a strong Vollara business within 2 years and use the remaining 15 to 20 years to invest wisely. This is your chance of a lifetime. Don't miss a minute of it. 8. Pass this advice along. |

April 13, 2010 Success Report and Solid Advice Here's a challenge. Can you convince 10 brand new prospects to read this report and advice? You'll have to read it before deciding... Some major ideas and concepts are highlighted. -- Bob Giddens David, this is a great report (email copied at bottom). I will send a care package and letter to Jim Dickerson within 24 hours. Put the pedal to the metal and don't look back. You are off to a great start. If you agree with my suggestion of going for Ruby (5 strong legs needed; go for 10), that's what I will try to help you achieve. Your two guys look terrific in every way, but you are a long way from building either one into a STRONG leg. I'm saying this to keep your head clear. The following is advice on how to work with a good new recruit. Jim will be a bona fide strong leg when his group grows to 20 people and has at least 2 or 3 committed leaders within his group. Getting from here to there might require you to do half a dozen meetings and a dozen one-on-one presentations. Let's put that in perspective... Our goal is to get you to $390,000 per year. One STRONG leg is one-fifth of that! A genuinely strong leg (well built and solid) can be worth $78,000 per year for life. [How hard are YOU willing to work to build a leg that will last?] You are generally aware that I have done a lot of meetings, conference calls, newsletters and emails over the years. The result is 8 solid legs. 8 x $78,000 = $624,000 per year. That's almost exactly my average for the last 6 years (with a less generous Compensation Plan than we have now). In other words, this formula is pretty valid! Let's continue. George will also be a bona fide strong leg when he has 20 people with at least 2 or 3 committed sub-leaders. The Jim/George legs I've described are just the beginning. From there you keep building, building, building. David, you are well liked. For that reason alone you can definitely be an above-average recruiter. I also want you to be an above average leader. Most people think the secret is recruiting. They want to sign up someone like Jim and pat themselves on the back. "Okay, I've got one-fifth of my career. On to the next." That's not realistic, but it's how people seem to think. Then they are disappointed when their people quit. I've learned over the years to Reach Over The Shoulder of my people as much and as often as I can. I'll try to become Jim's and George's friend. I'm not trying to take away your influence; I'll just be trying to help you by helping them. My group is big, so I can't do as much hands on work as you can. But I can help through my emails, care packages, newsletters, conference calls, website, etc. You'll get TONS OF HELP from me if you do a good job of steering people toward my services. I'll come back to Richmond when the time is right. Help exists for anyone who wants it. Millions of dollars worth of help. Anyone in Vollara can call upon as much or as little of it (the available help) as he wants. It frustrates the heck out of me when someone says they have a crummy sponsor and aren't getting any help. Truth is, your sponsor is not responsible for your success—you are. If 20 of your people listen to one of my Friday night opportunity calls, you are getting 20 "assists" at one time. If 50 of your people visit chippynews.com, you rack up 50 assists. Karen Schwelling was in Birmingham when you attended my meeting in Virginia with your 4 guests. Karen was getting 5 assists that night. I also want you (and Jim and George and others) to [very important advice...] expand to other geographical areas. As you work with your people, bring this up again and again. Most people have friends, relatives or business connections in other cities. We must reach out to these people. If you don't bring them into your group, someone else will recruit them and you won't get credit. Out-of-area people can be recruited by phone/email/conference call/website. Trips are nice, but not always necessary. We live in an electronic era. Whether for recruiting or support, distance is not really an issue. I know you won't whine to me that Karen lives 500 miles from you. Who cares? Most of us are on unlimited phone plans these days. It costs just as much to call next door as to call across country. The more your group expands, the more you can get help from company meetings and Giddens meetings. Next time I go to Texas or California, wouldn't it be nice if some Donovan people were attending the meetings? For that matter, you could recruit someone good here in Orlando and I could meet with them personally. You've got me enthused with your efforts. Keep up the good work. Sincerely, Bob CLOSING MESSAGE On my recent swing through Jacksonville, Brooklyn, Allentown and Richmond, David's is the BIGGEST success report so far. My trip took 10 days, involved 3,000 miles of driving and cost thousands of dollars (family activities were also included). I expect many good results to follow in the wake of this trip (based on work by Bob, Chico & Susan, Anita, Fenton, Bill, Anthony, Bob, Ed, Jo-Ann, Matt, Joyce, Jan & Art, Ron & Debra and others who were at one of the events). But this single result (David Donovan/Karen Schwelling leg) would have justified the whole trip. Can you spot the formula? Working from a base of faith and belief, you must pile activity upon activity upon activity. Conference calls, meetings, web site usage, personal visits, etc., etc., etc. and trust in the eventual results. Not every meeting will work out. Sometimes no one shows up. Not every prospect says yes. Nor does every distributor work the business. But the Law of Averages has a way of making long term commitment eventually pay off. I know people who haven't yet decided to do in-home meetings. "We're too busy." "We tried meetings and they didn't worked for us." Others never find time to listen to a Million Friends call. Or they listen to one, but they won't make a commitment to listen to at least two every week. Others have never browsed through the training at www.chippynews.com/Blue.htm. Most have not downloaded the Million Friends pages and put together a presentation book. And still a lot of these people are thinking, "I wish this would work for me. I wish I had David Donovan's personality or Bob Giddens' dashing good looks." (Truth is, David is better looking.) Friends, there has NEVER been a time and opportunity like this. Come on! Make your decision today. Let's do it. Five strong legs will do it, but we don't give away free legs. You've got to find good people, encourage them to grow and support their efforts. Here's a challenge. Can you convince 10 brand new prospects to read this message? If you really want to, you could copy and paste this message into an email and send it to 10 friends in the next few minutes. Also send new people here to check us out. --------------- --------------- ---------------

April 11, 2010 Totally Bullish on America Dear Rick & Sheryl (and readers of Chippynews.com)...
This is an essay on
communications methods
and on
my
passionate philosophies
for building a strong Vollara business
in the
current environment.
- by Bob Giddens
(to jump ahead to the
Passionate Philosophies - look for bold and purple)
(to jump ahead to
the Bullish on America part, look for bold and
green)
Sheryl, thank you for the impressive update about your history and methods. I am addressing this to you because the email you sent was very useful. I am sending this to other important people as well. Some will be mentioned in the body of my message. Rick & Sheryl, you definitely qualify as important leaders. Now that you have told me about yourselves, you will hear from me more often. For 40 years I have written career building messages (letters in the old days; emails these days) aimed at one person and sent to many. With my 1970s typewriter, the best I could do was to make 6 onion skin copies (you would be amazed at how many uses I got from each sheet of carbon paper). My goal was to prepare never fewer than 20 envelopes ready for mailing by noon each day. In other words, I have always believed in communications. We'll be talking about legs later in this essay. Never once have I build a successful leg based on sponsoring or selling. Leg development has always been based on the strategic application of goal setting, communications, in-depth work, meetings and conference calls, training, motivation and problem resolution. Every story is different, but various applications of these techniques have been applied to my Clendenin leg, my Baker leg, my Clements leg, my Brodine leg, my Perry leg, my Michelle Giddens leg, my Hodges leg, my Schwelling leg, my Jackson leg, my all-but-defunct Sisco leg and many of the sub-legs beneath these first levels, A big part of my communications system is to send monthly newsletters to my primary leaders. As my group got too big for this to be workable, I converted to a subscriber system. For the best access to my materials and ideas, subscribe to Chippy News by sending $20 for 1 year or $30 for 2. Checks to "Bob Giddens." Subscribers hear from me every month. In between newsletters, they can stay connected by visiting this page. Most of what I send is suitable for pass along to your downline and prospects. Your best people will connect themselves directly to me and become the recipients of overlapping communications. If I create something really good, they might receive it from me, from you and from Dan Gibson. They might come across the same message on chippynews.com. When a message has value, there is nothing wrong with redundancy. To illustrate this point: I'm following TV coverage of the final round of the Masters golf tournament today. If I channel surf through 10 channels I will hear updates on every news and sports outlet. Let me include an apology to people who hate long essays. Joe Urso, John Clements and Marc Kloner come to mind as I say this. Bob Giddens belongs on this list, too. I hate long-winded emails...unless they are loaded with good and useful content. Occasionally I take another person's long email and cherry pick the best points. I often do this with company emails. In some cases I intro something lengthy by explaining that it will take half an hour to read but is worth it. I'll warn you right now: today's message may be more than you are ready for. That does not mean it ain't good stuff. My goal with this message is to make a profound difference for some of you who are trying to build lasting careers. I want you to learn techniques that work. I want to show you some amazing truths about the opportunity we represent and the timing circumstances we face. I believe in hand picking standout workers and staying in close touch by mail, email, telephone, conference calls and meetings. My list of standouts is never perfect. At one time, 900 standouts heard from me a couple of times each week by email. It was difficult to keep such a list updated. Email users change their addresses remarkably often. Moreover, new and deserving people are always entering the system. Other people are phasing out. I just returned from a meeting swing where I met with Bob Colasanti, Chico & Susan Guzman, Anita Domingo, Fenton Maxwell, Bob Leary, Bill Haile, Anthony Carvalho, Ed Hutchins, Jo-Ann Gotzon, Joyce Hodges, Debra & Ron Herrsche, David Donovan, Jim Dickerson, Colin Pilch and many others...including prospects, old-timers who are considering a Vollara re-start and others who ranged from frustrated to skeptical to gung-ho. This email is for you and for others like you! I don't have everyone's email address. In many cases, I must rely on my VIP to relay ideas. My special thanks to those who attended and hosted my events in Jacksonville, Brooklyn, Bethlehem and Richmond. Thanks also to the regular users of our Million Friends presentations. The call schedule is posted at www.chippynews.com (top left). Special thanks to Dick Schreiber, Pat Ferguison, Paul Jeter, James Clendenin, Karen Schwelling and others who regularly use and support this system.

April 1, 2010 (updated in August) Sweet Dreams For A Lifetime Dear Leaders and Friends, Four months ago Lyuda, Tonya and I drove to New York City to pick up Lyuda's mother who was coming from Russia for a 6 month visit. I am reminded of trip with James & Jennifer Clendenin to Iguacu Falls on the border of Brazil and Argentina (our first stop was a 1-day tour of New York City). We spend the first day in Brighton Beach (known as Little Russia) giving Lyuda's mother 1 day to get over jet lag. Then we did Mon/Tues in New York City. Wednesday we stopped on the NJ side to look at the Statue of Liberty. That night we did a Vollara meeting in Bethlehem, PA (we also had meetings in Jacksonville and Brooklyn on the way north). And now a commercial... Vollara has risen to a new plateau from where we were on January 29th. If the next 4 months bring the same amount of improvements and momentum growth as the past 2 months have, we will be in incredible shape by August. We are not flying high and fast yet, but you shouldn't want us to be (some of you are waiting for things to be just right—big mistake). If you want to make Vollara the great American success story of your lifetime, get yourself deeply and seriously involved BEFORE we get into the peak of our momentum. The above was written in April. August has now arrived. My overall organizational volume is up about 25%. It's hard to see where the growth is coming from because NO GROUP is booming or exploding yet. I stand by the projections I made in April. We should reach a high level of excitement by next spring. Why? We have powerful, determined, visionary and tough owners. They work 7 days a week (longer and harder than anyone in the field) because they have big goals and they believe in what they are doing. Here's the situation. 1. We have powerful products. It's time for some of us to stop grousing about things that are wrong and shift into a higher gear. I'm not kidding. The gravy train days will only last for a couple of years. 2. The timing with respect to the US economy and second Baby Boom could not be better. Believe it or not, the big recession has been one of your best friends. It set the stage for incredible things to come. 3. Our compensation plan is your ticket to financial security. Set a goal to be a Ruby in 1 year and a SuperRuby in 2 years. See www.chippynews.com/Hawaii.htm and read it over and over again until you know what a SuperRuby is. Stop worrying about your binary tree and starting building Strong Enrollment Tree legs. Make it your clear and absolute goal to build 5-10 strong and growing Enrollment Tree legs. If you achieve that, everything else will take care of itself. You can't "make" or "force" someone else to be successful. Through wide recruiting and persistent you have to FIND THE RIGHT PEOPLE. And you need to have SEVERAL RIGHT PEOPLE in each Enrollment Tree leg. A recruiting generation is about 6 months long. Here's what I mean. Once you get a surge of growth going, it tends to peter out in about 6 months (little more, little less). Even the most talented and aggressive leaders suffer burn out from time to time. The summer slowdown might get you. The Christmas slowdown might get you. A crisis might come along. Even in normal times we tend to slow down after any 3-4 months of very intense work. Things flatten out. If you are determined to go all the way, you then put together a new campaign of recruiting, meetings and other activities. Experience suggests that our Vollara gravy train days (which I predict will start in the spring of 2011) will last for 4 of these generations. The company will keep growing, but wild and crazy growth will NEVER be the same. Don't miss our first SURGE GENERATION because you will be missing on-fourth of the fun. Each generation you "catch" will be worth another $100,000 in your ultimate potential. A person who drags her feet or a guy who stubbornly holds on to old attitudes could miss the first 2 growth generations and end up making $150,000 max instead of $350,000 max. You can do the same work 2 years later and the results will not be as juicy. It is incredibly rare to know about this pattern BEFORE IT STARTS. Good fortune is staring you in the face. Are you buying it? Are you telling others? Are you buying and telling with passion? I'm shouting this message on conference calls, in newsletters, in person and through meetings. A few people really get it. A few more partially get it. Unfortunately, most people don't see this Perfect Storm of potential that we now have. The Second Baby Boom is part of it. We're looking at 20 - 25 years of positive economy. The keys to hitting lots of Vollara balls out of the park are (1) START HARD NOW, (2) work VERY HARD FOR 2 YEARS and (3) SELL THESE CONCEPTS TO OTHERS. If you are in the groove during our 4 juicy generations you can zoom up to Ruby in one year and SuperRuby in two. Go to www.chippynews.com/Hawaii.htm to learn what a SuperRuby is. Your generation-by-generation growth might look like this: 2, 4, 8 and 16. Add those numbers together for illustration purposes. Catch all 4 generations and your score is 30. Miss 2 generations and your score is 6. Miss just 1 generation and your score is 14. It really makes a lot of difference if you are there at kick-off time. Regards and sweet dreams, Bob Giddens |
