Timing, timing, timing!

This will take a few minutes to read. You won't be disappointed.

My goal with this article is to answer a whole range of questions, but let me first review some history. Forty years ago I had the good fortune to join the Shaklee vitamin company right when vitamins were catching on. There wasn't much competition in those days. Amway didn't sell vitamins yet. Twenty-five years later I joined Alpine Industries (which became EcoQuest in 2000 and Vollara in 2010). In each case a lucrative career resulted and millions of dollars were earned (along with many wonderful memories). I've earned more than 12 free trips to Hawaii (too many to count), 5 to Europe, 6 to Mexico and the Caribbean, 2 to Canada, 2 to Asia, and 2 to Australia.

Some who read this might think the millions of dollars and exotic trips are only for gifted high rollers. Think again. Think TIMING and think STRATEGY...and throw in a little GOOD LUCK if you want. On those exotic trips there were MANY "normal people" qualifiers. See www.chippynews.com/A.htm and look at the faces of those people. Not everyone will do it, but almost anyone can.

Listen to our Million Friends Presentation at www.chippynews.com/Z.htm. Go to chart #2 and push the audio button. If you want to understand this concept better, go to Google and type in Echo Boom. Read an article or two. Think back about all the amazing and profitable things that happened in the Baby Boom years. Is there a chance that some similar things will happen in the next 20 years.

I don't think there's just a chance.

I think it's a certainty.

I'm 68, so I'm sure nothing like this will ever happen again in my lifetime. If you're over 45, this may be the last big rodeo for you, too! Get on this bronco and ride. If you've been bucked off a few times, dust yourself off and climb back in the saddle as many times as you have to. When the momentum picks up there will be a limited window—let's say 3 to 5 years—of explosive opportunity. Perhaps unlike anything you've ever been a part of*. I have the advantage of having been there twice before (with Shaklee; with Alpine Industries). That's why I am so sure all the factors are in place.

*I remember seeing my first McDonalds in Pensacola, Florida, in 1957. My father talked about buying one. Getting in on that would have been a true ground floor deal. The Giddens family missed that one. And we all talk about how lucky those people were who worked for Microsoft from day 1. The Giddens family didn't even know about Bill Gates in those days. When the dotcom boom happened I didn't have a dime to invest. To tell you the truth, I got in the stock market just in time to lose a lot. Those kinds of deals are wonderful if you can ever find one...and hear about it early enough.

Well, keep reading...

1. The Echo Boom is just one of the positive factors.

2. We also have the strong ownership. In 1995 Bill Converse and Mike Jackson were the right owners. For a few years they put the pieces together beautifully. To get a feel for our current ownership status, go to www.chippynews.com/Z.htm and scroll down to chart #3. The title says, "Vollara: America's Next Network Marketing Giant." Read the words that fill that page. Press the audio button and hear the Giddens take. What we have is very rare. I don't want you to miss it.

3. We have an amazing mix of products and a commitment from Joe to keep making them better. If you are paying attention to the people who are nipping at our heels, do you think a promise by the CEO of a brand new startup company is as likely to be valid? There is not a better nutrition product line anywhere. Three men who used to be employees of EcoQuest have started 2 unrelated companies and they are trying to attract our people. Of course they would want our people! That's no surprise.

What the new Brand-X companies have might be good, but it's not equal to what Vollara has. They are start-up operations. As such, they might not last more than 2 years. That's kind of the norm in this industry.

It adds up to:

More product power than

any other company

in network marketing.

We have more resources, more commitment, more access to scientific credibility, and—oh, by the way—a higher paying and more modern compensation plan. But back to products... There is not a better air purification line. Our water ionizer division is new and the commitment is in place to make this line the best there is. LaundryPure has amazing possibilities. SteadyPower gives us an energy presence and represents an incremental purchase that 25% of our people will buy and install.

4. There is another aspect of timing—something above and beyond the Echo Boom. This second aspect of timing is the timing within our company. Right now we are riding on a dirt road with lots of bumps. Our web site is different from what we are used to. Our systems are not 100% smooth. Our compensation plan is different. Everything about us has the feel of startup. This is a trial and error period. But remember, we do not have rookie management. In the very near future we will burst onto a paved road then not long after that onto a superhighway.

The trick to catching a wave is not only to be there as close as possible to the beginning, but to gather as many of your friends and troops (and their friends and their friends - as far down as you can go) and bring all those people in on the first wave. If you want to catch the power of a tsunami on film, catch that first colossal wave. That's where the massive dimensions of any wave system are concentrated. I know you see my point. A person must work very hard during the dirt road period if he wants to have a whole army of friends ready to catch those powerful first waves. That's why I did so well in Alpine. In 1995 I already understood what I am discussing right now. I worked Alpine to the hilt and took quite a few people along for that powerful first ride.

I'm urging you to take your troops along this time.

5. The final part of the puzzle is our new compensation plan. This, too, is explained on www.chippynews.com/Z.htm. It's wonderful and powerful. If you want me to do a training night for your group I'll be glad to.

Each of us has the opportunity to write our own exciting future. It's hard to see the bright sunny day that lies ahead if you are caught right now in financial problems and all the other stresses of life. Each of us MUST visualize the biggest and brightest future we have ever imagined. You have to know it's out there. Pull together all the experiences of your life and all your insights on market awareness. Is this one real? You have to believe it. Then you have to convince other people and take them with you. They'll kick and scream and resist. You have to be confident and persistent.

I hope this grabs you! It's grabbing me as I write it.

Sincerely,

Bob Giddens
