next to make this your best year ever have a piece of the 400 million see what
6:35
you can do touch the lives of many people as you can possibly touch number
6:39
one let's get serious here is number to get smart at that's what these journals
6:44
are for that's what pad and pencils for that's what taking notes for see if you
6:49
can increase your ability to comprehend ideas information that can be
6:54
life-transforming don't miss the opportunity to learn take a good key
7:00
phrase home use it in your training don't be lazy and learning
7:05
don't be casual and learning develop a whole new intensity for the nineties but
7:10
you're not going to miss the information you're not going to miss the stories
7:13
you're not gonna miss the djs get smart
7:19
here's a couple of parts to it number one your own personal experience right
7:25
you've had a bad week just sit down upon to that for a while
7:29
study it see if you can pick up some ideas from a poor weak and then make a
7:33
better week okay
7:36
learn from your own experiences one way to learn to do it right is do it wrong
7:43
I mean you know that's one way to learn to do it right do it wrong
7:46
now the key is don't let it take too long
7:51
if you've done it wrong for a year we suggest that's long enough you don't
7:55
need another year just to prove a point no one year's enough learn from your own
8:03
experience right so that call didn't go well
8:08
all the stuff yes what they did when they finish that call they made another
8:13
call
8:14
what else could we do to make it better how could we possibly improved this is
8:18
called the possibility for life change starts with education don't be lazy and
8:23
learning
8:24
don't be lazy and picking up the ideas
8:27
don't be lazy and learning from your own experience that's why you've heard from
8:31
some people that have shared their testimonial here and giving you some of
8:33
their ideas ways and means of taking this product to the marketplace making
8:38
it work for you
8:40
we've devoted most of our time for that and well we should learning is the
8:45
beginning of well learning is the beginning of life change some people
8:51
want to start with motivation but you don't start with motivation you can tell
8:56
we don't you know we don't spend that much time on motivation right some
9:00
companies right by now they'd be standing on the chairs waving the flag
9:03
singing the old gray mayor some silly that's not herbalife we've got a serious
9:09
fast to do and we're here enough motivation certainly but here's the best
9:15
motivation we've got going
9:17
the proof of our success when we bring our success stories to this platform
9:22
that's enough motivation when we bring our dedication and let it show we let
9:28
the work of our hands show that's the motivation we want right not just
9:33
excitement just excitement alone will do it sometimes it just motivates this guy
9:36
he'll be alright
9:37
the answer's no probably not if the guy's an idiot you're motivating now you
9:41
gotta motivated idiot know
9:44

9:52
so education get smart
9:56
don't miss the training class you say well I've already been to one of those
1classes I've already heard it got a good phrase for you to take home that's no
1sign you got it
1just because you listened to those millionaire tapes 1 times no sign you've
1got it i'm asking you to listen to him over and over and over i'm asking you to
1dedicate yourself to a new level of learning in 1992 when i travel with
1Marcuse he's got his book open
1he's got a book open he's reading studying lives of successful people
1lives of despicable people you know study learn grow change develop never
1let it be said you didn't learn right you want to solve your problems you've
1got to learn you want to take advantage of an opportunity you've got to learn we

11:09
philosophy here philosophy major determining factor in how your life
11:13
works out each person's philosophy is like the set of the sale
11:18
the same wind blows on us all the difference in where we arrived at the
11:22
end of the week at the end of the month at the end of the year is not the wind
11:25
blows and the wind is blowing around the world the world is in solution things
11:33
are changing the walls have come down all kinds of things are happening in
11:40
Russia tonight today the winds are blowing but what's going to make the
11:44
major difference each person's personal philosophy that sets a better sale sets
11:48
a better say oh so don't ask for a more favorable wind that's like wishing
11:53
something that's not going to occur
11:55
don't ask for better seating soil all you gots what's available
11:59
don't curse what you got on this planet all we got to see the tier the soil
12:04
that's here
12:04
the miracle of life the tier the opportunity that's here the seasons that
12:08
are here that's all we got
12:09
wherever you come from in your country the economy you got that's all you got
12:13
in America our economy that's all we got the government that's all we got the
12:19
marketplace that's all we got
12:20
whatever you do don't criticize all you got the key is to set a better sale and
12:25
turn what you've got into the miracle brief of your future don't wish it was
12:30
easier wish you were better don't wish for less problems wish for more Skills
12:37
that's the reason for coming here spending a couple of days of intense
12:41
effort taking notes rolling up your sleeves going to work commit yourself
12:45
learning so that you can get smarter for the days of here
12:49
develop your philosophy Herbalife's philosophy is carried it now these 12
12:52
years to extraordinary heights those who do the work gets up a philosophy that
12:57
commits itself to having the finest no matter what it cause that kind of
13:01
philosophy I'm asking you to develop your own personal philosophy get your
13:05
business philosophy going get your financial plan going
13:09
don't violate the conclusions of your own philosophy by not executing and
13:14
taking action but that's number to get smart
13:18
here's number three get going as smart as you might become after these two days
13:25
as many ideas as you take away from year they're truly as Larry mentioned like
13:29
seeds to be planted in the soil you gotta get going you gotta take action
13:35
the disciplines is the miracle process and here's how to get the miracle of
13:41
your future going as far as disciplines are concerned number-one do what you can
13:47
you might go home and set a whole new pace for yourself and we call it
13:51
cleaning up neglect should walk around the block could walk around the block
13:56
for your good health
13:58
don't walk around the block so you're on the wrong track should read could read
14:03
don't read on the wrong track should call could call don't call
14:10
on the wrong track could change should change don't change you're on the wrong
14:17
track letters you haven't written conversations you haven't had with your
14:21
family
14:22
somebody you should sit down with when you get back home get that job done
14:26
don't let neglect destroy your days destroy your life and destroy your
14:30
future go back and do what you can and if you do what you can then life will
14:36
give you some extraordinary things to do we all pity the man right wants to
14:43
straight out of his house go straighten out the corporation has not yet
14:46
straightened out his garage
14:49
you got to take care of the small disciplines before life will give you a
14:52
chance to handle the more complicated disciplines
14:54
how do you think Marcuse got here scattered now throughout 14 15 countries
14:58
another 14 15 coming up on me how do you do this you start first with the
15:02
smallest of disciplines and do not neglect them and do not disregard them
15:06
as being trifling everything matters everything's important good phrase to
15:11
take home all disciplines affect each other
15:16
in fact there's a good philosophical phrase if you hadn't thought of it
15:20
before here it is everything affects everything else it's so easy to be
15:25
casual and say well this doesn't matter
15:27
this doesn't matter i'm telling you everything matters of course some things
15:33
matter more than others but there isn't anything that doesn't matter then here's
15:41
the positive side every new discipline effects all your other disciplines if
15:46
you get some new things going make some calls you've never made before step up
15:50
your activity level step up your labor level develop the skills from these two
15:55
days of training here and you'll go home and works miracles on your days in your
16:00
life and your future and your income your business and a bigger portion of
16:04
that 400 million will certainly be yours go for the disciplines the smallest of
16:10
disciplines the least of disciplines like keeping your accounts in order the
16:16
smallest of discipline did you ever hear this expression I don't know where it
16:21
all goes to hear that
16:27
I don't know where it all goes Wow
16:32
Oh we'd love to have you run herbalife you don't know where it all goes how
16:40
long do you think we'd last here in Herbalife if that was your philosophy
16:43
sitting at the top like Marcuse let me give you the story on Marcuse mark knows
16:48
where everything goes and he started back when he only had pennies he started
16:55
back when he only had dollars he started back when he didn't have much but here's
17:01
the key one of the greatest extraordinary phrases that's ever been
17:05
written from antiquity says if you'll be faithful if you'll be disciplined when
17:10
the amounts are small will make you a ruler give you a position of authority
17:14
when the amounts are many times I've only got two three distributors I don't
17:20
know where they are
17:22
come on if you only got two or three you can know when they get up you can know
17:26
when they go to bed you can know all the details
17:30
take care of your disciplines when the amounts are small and then life will see
17:35
to it that you get some extraordinary numbers to work with like you saw the
17:39
stories displayed here do not disregard the smallest of disciplines let us not
17:46
neglect do not neglect the smallest of disciplines and build on that foundation
17:50
and you can have everything you could possibly want
17:55
ok get going
18:07
here's number four get better
18:13
there's any of us we can't get better so turn on this whole idea personal
18:17
development and personal growth that was what my teacher shared with me to change
18:21
my life starting a few steps from here that convention
18:27
I'm telling you for things to get better you got to get better don't ask for it
18:32
to change out there ask for you to change your don't ask for a more
18:34
favorable wind we call that naive
18:37
don't ask for better seed better soil this is the only planet you got just ask
18:43
that you can get wiser and stronger and better be able to take care of your own
18:47
responsibilities get better learn how to handle the seasons better let's go
18:52
through them some stuff I did on satellite many many years ago let me
18:56
just review those notes for you on this getting better part learn how to handle
19:01
the seasons of life number one learn how to handle the winters we're all going to
19:07
go through some winters Herbalife's been through a few just the winners of the
19:11
calendar in the last 12 years how many winters about 12 but it's not just the
19:20
winters of the calendar it's not just the winters of the season there's all
19:23
kinds of winters the winter when you can't figure it out the winter when it
19:27
all goes wrong the winter when you have all kinds of Hector's on a telephone
19:31
call right the winter when you get that first half-dozen refunds the winters of
19:37
your life social winters political winters that we're going through around
19:44
the world economic winters that a lot of people are experiencing these days
19:50
personal winters when your heart too smashed in a thousand pieces and the
19:55
nights are unusually long it is simply called winter time but here's what you
19:59
got to do in your own personal development your own personal growth and
2that is just get better at handling the winters you can't change the winter you
2can change the seasons but you can change yourself you see what can I do
2about the upcoming winters in my life the challenges that I know I'm going to
2face here's what you can do
2you can get wiser and stronger and better just make a list of that trio of
2words wiser stronger and better go home smarter than you came go home with more
2ideas that you came with next get stronger you can develop the muscle you
2can develop the courage muscle you can develop the inspiration muscle you can
2develop the dedication muscle you can get stronger
2there's anybody here that can't get stronger next time we see you may not
2even recognize you how strong you are going to be able to become in language
2style personality ability to cope the ability to handle with anything that
21:01
happens no matter what happens and the third one is get better we can all get
21:06
better i've gotten better first talk i gave I stood up my mind SAT back down
21:14
I love to wait for the translation to finish the if i can get more reaction
21:21
here
21:28
but here's the secret to my success i stood up and did it again stood up I did
21:34
it again and I did it again and I did it again all those many years ago I did it
21:38
when I was scared and I didn't when I didn't want to and I did it when I was
21:41
ill and I did it when it didn't work well I didn't get it when they didn't
21:45
appreciate it and I didn't a lot of times when I didn't know much what i was
21:49
doing i just did it anyway and now all these years later i'm asked to walk on
21:54
this stage but the greatest introduction I've ever had greatest response and
21:59
welcome i've ever had the greatest opportunity I've ever had to touch this
22:03
many lives with a mixture of words and heart and soul i got better i got better
22:09
day by day and week by week and month by month and I'm asking you to do the same
22:13
thing until you can develop a long arm and a long reach until you can develop
22:17
influence that won't quit touch people next year you couldn't touch this year
22:21
touch people now you couldn't touch before conduct a meeting now you
22:24
couldn't conduct before heart and soul now mixed in there that wasn't their
22:28
missing before I'm asking all of you to get better in spite of the winters in
22:32
spite of the downturn the money downturn the social downturn the personal
22:36
downturn whatever it is just get stronger get better
22:41
we've all got those personal winters we know what those are like Barbra
22:47
Streisand things that used to be so natural to talk about forever but used
22:51
to bees don't count anymore they just lay on the floor till we sweep them away
22:57
you don't see me love songs you don't say you need me and you don't bring me
23:01
flowers anymore a winter song but they were acquainted with all those personal
23:07
winters all the rest of it
23:09
the key is not to wish for a better winter the key is to wish for more
23:14
strength more wisdom more courage get better get wiser get stronger
23:19
here's number to learn to take advantage of the spring spring means opportunity
23:28
and we've got a fresh spring going here
23:32
it's called a spring like no other a spring an opportunity like no other for
23:38
you but here's the clue spring is not a guarantee of a harvest in the fall in
23:45
the autumn harvest on here's what you must learn to do underlined the two
23:49
words if you're taking notes take advantage take advantage of the spring
23:56
don't just be faked out by the spring because the nice weather has gum looks
24:00
like everything is going to be a lot better
24:01
the winter is finally passed the spring is here telling you that's not gonna do
24:05
it for you just because the spring is here is not going to do it for you
24:07
you gotta seize it with your own two hands and take advantage
24:13
read the books study the tapes go back through your notes get ready to cash in
24:21
on the spring and now there's a sense of urgency here here's why spring doesn't
24:26
last that long to be able to say I just got back doesn't last that long it's
24:32
called the springtime of opportunity postpone a few things in the springtime
24:37
get the job done
24:38
set aside a few things in the springtime get the job done where I was raised in
24:43
Idaho farm country
24:44
what if you ask the farmer to go bowling in the spring what would probably say he
24:51
would say you're insane you can go bowling in the winter when you can't
24:57
plant the crop you can't go bowling in the spring you've only got a certain
25:01
piece of time and you gotta get it done in that certain window of opportunity
25:05
and that's what we've got here a window of opportunity to take advantage of its
25:09
called take advantage of the spring and there's also an urgency here how many
25:13
Springs have you got in a lifetime not very many life is brief at the longest
25:23
the beatles wrote life is very short and for John Lennon it was extra short for
25:31
Michael Landon it was extra short but it is short
25:36
there's an urgency here don't waste your Springs don't just let him pass pass
25:42
pass hoping the time will pass take advantage last year it was seized the
25:47
moment and I'm asking you now this season to seize the spring opportunity
25:53
you've got a new organization going season spring you've got a new
25:56
distributor going sees the spring
25:58
you've got a new life situation going sees the spring take advantage of it
26:02
don't let it pass without giving it the best of your two hands and your
26:07
attention
26:07
number three first learn how to handle the winter second take advantage of the
26:11
spring number three in the summer learn to nourish and protect we've got some
26:21
major challenges now come summertime one is to nourish our values
26:26
take care of them feed them don't let him go hungry
26:32
don't let him go wanting and nourishment and care then here's something else
26:37
we've got to do in the summer defend ourselves against the enemies
26:44
summertime is a unique time the time of opportunity it's also a time of
26:48
challenge but what else is new what life is called the last six and a half
26:52
thousand years reads like this opportunity mixed with difficulty

34:02
I'm asking you to commit today herbal life is in good hands
34:20
couple more enemies of the mind you gotta do battle with in the summer one
34:27
is pessimism the tries to get you only to see the negative side of course
34:32
there's the negative side life is part negative what else is new
34:37
if the glass is half empty it is half empty you say well I can only talk to
34:41
see that a full well sure it's apple but it's also FMP I mean can't you handle
34:49
wrap
34:50
I mean you know that's not too difficult but here's what pessimist would try to
34:56
get you to do believe that it's only happening and when pessimism comes to
35:02
your mind you've got to educate pessimism because pessimism is stupid
35:06
pessimism tries to get you to believe that it's only half empty
35:13
you gotta say pessimism you've never been to school too dumb and stupid to
35:17
know of course it's half empty but it's not only half empty
35:22
it's also a full i'm asking you to be in charge be in charge of your own mind be
35:29
in charge of your own destiny do battle with your enemy in the summertime in the
35:37
summertime you got to learn to love like a mother like a father
35:46
give life like a mother nourish take life like a father father says to
35:55
whatever threatens his family take 2-3 more step toward this family and
35:59
threatened them you'll cease to exist
36:00
I'm father I killed
36:05
do battle with your enemies now it's also possible to love like a father and
36:12
hate like a mother
36:16
I'm not saying that is impossible nothing more dangerous than angry mother
36:33
I saw an article in a magazine little bit ago up in Canada showed a man with
36:42
some claw marks on his back a t-shirt off big teeth marks in his nick this man
36:48
was out in the woods has flash camera saw mama bear with a little cub stop
36:53
though this is cute took a flash picture mama bear Takes unkindly to this flash
36:57
picture probably chases the man catches him almost killing before somebody
37:03
rescued him so beware mama bear
37:09
day love like a father hate like a mother give life like a mother take like
37:15
a father
37:16
however you want to arrange it just so you nervous your values nourish your
37:21
family nourish what's valuable for you nourish your organization nourish your
37:27
distributors nourish your customers take care of your responsibilities feed
37:32

37:38
to your enemies whatever is going to destroy those values takes or do it if
37:42
it's worry take sword to it if its threat threaten back you gotta be like
37:47
your bloodstream good illustration red corpuscles to nourish like a mother
37:53
white corpuscles to fight and kill like a father you gotta do some negative
38:01
thinking and just think positive
38:03
thank God for white corpuscles that think- all day
38:11
white corpuscle say just show me some infection are killing me
38:20

38:29
they're on the outside or whether they're on the inside protect your
38:33
family protect your future protect your values love nourish but also do battle
38:38
with whatever is out there to do battle with you take some courage from some of
38:42
those that have been through the battle
38:43
they've given you their stories on the state they've been through it they know
38:46
what it's all about takes some courage from that and in the summer do battle
38:52
and nourish now here's the last one in the harvest time
38:56
number four take your harvest and all that comes your way with full
39:04
responsibility
39:06

39:17
chances complaining sometimes starts as an infection if you don't take care of
39:23
it becomes the disease do battle with it in the harvest time reap your harvest
39:31
without complaint it's your crop you so did you either made the calls it didn't
39:36

39:47
time finally comes and say to my crop got to take responsibility for it I do
39:50

4to their communities we offer no apology for making the kind of money they make
4because of the lives they touched and the people that they helped no telling

41:34
auditorium asking you to appreciate what's going on here
41:38
I'm asking you to appreciate each other so this all up soak it all up it's
41:42
called absorbs or absorb then when you get back home you can give out give out
41:46
give out and you'll have an extraordinary effect on the people that
41:50
you reach out and touch
41:51
here's the next one develop the ability to respond that's what got me almost six
41:56
years ago market Larry made that call i responded it touched me the vision they
42:03
gave me the story they gave me the pictures they painted the numbers they
42:06
gave me what we could do together the team we could build dominate the
42:09
industry walk head and shoulders above anything else that's out there have an
42:13
extraordinary adventure that's only been given to a few chance to walk the summit
42:16
got me touch now I'm asking you however not only to be touched with the summit
42:22
numbers the 400 million i'm asking you to be touched with the smallest of
42:27
people's challenges don't just be touched with the challenge I'm asking
42:31
you to be touched with the problem let people's problems get to you let people
42:37
problems touch your heart this year like never before be touched
42:42
let life touching the lady kill you but let it touch you
42:46
the problems that are out there people struggling with their economy struggling
42:49
with their health
42:50
struggling with their future i'm asking you to let that get around your heart
42:54
let it do something to you don't go on touch don't go on move when you walk out
43:00
of here open yourself up don't build up the walls the same wall that keeps out
43:05
disappointment keeps out happiness an opportunity take the walls down let
43:09
yourself be touched by what's going on out there
43:11
let's add things make you sad as well as happy things make you happy
43:16
let your heart get touched and you'll have good hands then to take this
43:21
product to the marketplace
43:23
here's number three develop the ability to reflect long after this session is
43:29
over i'm asking you to go back over it one more time I'm asking you at the end
43:34
of the day go back over your day I'm asking you at the end of the week go
43:36
back over your week make that week more valuable at the end of the month go back
43:40
over your month at the end of a conversation go back over the
43:43
conversation how did it go and what did you do learn by reflecting i call it run
43:48
the tapes again of your own experiences and you say why do that here's why to
43:54
develop extraordinary ability to gather up the past and invested in the future
43:59
what next year you could have if you pay more attention this year soak it up
44:04
gather it up and reflected certain times what's going on and what's happening and
44:09
this year will take a more powerful place in your experience and then when
44:12
you get ready to deliver in 1993 people will not believe the words you've chosen
44:17
they will not believe the heart and soul that you've mixed with words they won't
44:21
believe the power you've got a few simple things here under getting better
44:25
then here's the last one and that's to share
44:32
we've got this extraordinary opportunity now let us not keep it
44:37
let us share it let us reach out with a long reach a strong reach an
44:43
unprecedented reach let us reach out and touch people not just with our
44:48
opportunity let's touch people with our lives
44:51
let's touch people with our experiences
44:55
let's touch people with our heart and soul let's don't just touch people with
44:58
the marketing plan and a distributor kit let's touch people with their help yes
45:04
with an opportunity yes but here's a commitment I'd like to have you make to
45:09
me
45:10
let's help people with their lives not just their health
45:14
let's help people with their lives not just their income let it be said if they
45:20
were around us one week one month or a lifetime that when they got around us
45:25
not only did we talk about money not only did we talk about product we talked
45:31
about life we talked about getting better we talked about becoming all that
45:36
you can become we talked about picking up a challenge we talked about not
45:40
settling for less than you can possibly be
45:43
let's do that let's develop notable
46:01
now here's my last two parts to make this your best year ever get excited and
46:11
excitement is not just you know excitement excitement that runs deep is
46:16
the excitement that really lasts for a lifetime not surface excitement there's
46:22
been a lot of noise here but what I really appreciate and field is that this
46:28
room is full of more than noise it's full of more than sound
46:33
I'll tell you what's really going to serve you well and that's the excitement
46:36
you feel inside that isn't even probably expressed on the outside the excitement
46:41
that runs deep
46:42
the excitement that stirs commitment the excitement that stirs courage give me
46:48
the chance and I will get the job done that kind of excitement develop that
46:53
kind of attitude
47:03
get excited about your own skills get excited about your own abilities you can
47:08
put it into words if I can start with nothing finally stand on this platform
47:12
delivered best words i can choose words are clumsy at best when you try to
47:17
express what's going on in your heart your head but I've done my best but I'm
47:22
telling if i can find the words you can find the words and here's a key here
47:26
communicate don't leave it unsaid
47:31
somebody's got some congratulations coming don't fail to congratulate him if
47:36
the distributor's got a word of praise coming don't fail to give it don't fail
47:40
to say it don't fail to say find the best words you can struggle with the
47:47
best words you can borrow some words if you have to i borrow all kinds of words
47:55
Winston Churchill one time said truth is incontrovertible malice may attack it
48:01
and ignorance made to ride it but in the end there it is see I love to borrow
48:07
that mean you know that's better said that I could say it
48:10
you see that's well said you could stay up all night not think of that I mean
48:13
that's well said I'm asking to borrow the words that have come from this
48:18
platform borrow the words that have come from the top ten borrow the words that
48:22
have come from the distributive shared so eloquently with you borrow their
48:26
words borrow their notes but then I'm asking you to start choosing the best
48:31
word you can we want you to get good at these skills of communicating skills of
48:36
touching people's lives with words touching their heart with words helping
48:40
them to see something they've never been able to see before by your words choose
48:43
the best words you can don't fail with an opportunity to challenge yourself to
48:48
choose good words search for the words struggle for the words but don't let
48:54
somebody within the scope of your influence goal without your words words
49:01
work miracles words can help people to see something they've never seen before
49:08
there's a lot of people you haven't got to yet they can't see how they can
49:11
possibly be healthy and if you'll come along with your good words you can turn
49:14
on all
49:15
lights for them they can't see how they can possibly be successful and if you'll
49:19
come along with your testimonial that's why herbalife is built on testimonials
49:23
words that work miracles help people to see and when you come along and tell
49:29
your story people are going to say before you got here I was blind and now
49:34
that you've talked to me I can see I can see the possibilities i can see the
49:38
opportunity i can see that if i take ahold of this thing I can change my life
49:42
I can see it I can see it I can see it i'm asking you don't miss the chance to
49:46
work miracles with your words get excited about your possibility to work
49:50
miracles with words and now here's my last word to you and I'm finished for
49:56

5extraordinary friendships way back when they've lasted all these years now got
5me an invitation to participate in something so extraordinary this came
5about from a friendship now I had the scale so much as well you know they
5offered you millions and a chance here just because you were friends know you
