Energy and inspiration bounced through the crowds and off the walls of the American Airlines Arena this morning at Day One of Market America World Conference 2013. Here is a quick recap from our morning presentations.
Loren Ridinger
The last time Loren graced the stage at Market America International Convention in August, she stood a week away from a major brain surgery, but you couldn’t tell this morning as her energy illuminated the arena. After giving a snapshot of the main stage presences to look forward to, including several celebrity appearances, she fired up the crowd with inspiration and motivation.
Market America is changing the economic paradigm, Loren said, allowing UnFranchise® Owners to create their own economy in the midst of the greatest economic crisis in 80 years. Since the beginning of Market America, 2.5 billion dollars have been paid and earned. Economies benefit when entrepreneurs flourish and thanks to the success of Market America, UnFranchise® Owners can spend the rest of their lives like most people cannot with the technology and resources to drive success.
“Suck it up, hold up, say a prayer, make a plan, and just do it! Greatness is not some rare DNA strand, not some precious thing, it’s no more unique to us than breathing it so just suck it up and do it! The power to change your life lies in each and every one of you, so you must eliminate the attitude that says you cannot do it!”
Dennis Franks
If anyone in the audience lacked energy at this point, Dennis Franks shuffled and shimmied onto the stage with more than enough to share with the entire arena. “The time is NOW!” Dennis said. Entrepreneurism is at an all-time high for Baby Boomers and college graduates because of the insecure job market and the ever growing distance to social security. Start today because SHOP.COM is the solution! Start with a “Why?” and turn that into a goal, then into a reality. Be a product of the product by sharing success and selling tickets.
“Take a few bruises and it gets better, but do something now!”
Jim Winkler and Andrew Weissman
Jim and Andrew brought exciting news to the stage as they broke down new ways that UnFranchise® Owners can simplify their business. New features include an updated Getting Started Guide and a new handout specifically to sell Product Kits. The latest promotion of Products Kits makes selling Health and Wellness consistently easier, as customers have everything they need in one package and can even order it monthly using AutoShip, boosting sales by almost $350 per month!
Andrew and Jim also gave a brief overview of the very well received Partner Now and Waiting Room on the online UnFranchise® Business account, creating a new back office to build business and sponsorship. On top of these amazing additions, Form 1000 will have a more flexible due time and an updated UnFranchise® Business video will be released in a couple of weeks. Jim and Andrew will join Jeremy Fennema in a breakout session going into the new features in more depth TONIGHT, so make sure you’re there!
Jackie Blasko, Big Al Yentsch, Stacey Tung, Any Docos
Four field leaders took the stage following Jim and Andrew, as they testified to the amazing success they experience today born out of a simple ticket sale at the beginning. The most important action, they all agreed, was to pay it forward and make every event with new people. “You get nuggets when you leave events like this,” Big Al Yentsch said. Stacey Tung’s stage presence drove the crowd wild as real time evidence of the amazing team she filled the arena with by buying tickets to each event. As Andy Docos told the crowd,
“Ninety-eight percent of success is showing up.”
JR Ridinger
Finally, JR took the stage, enamoring the crowd with relatable parables and real life experience that began as one seminar and tuned into 21 years of global, multibillion dollar success. JR urged the crowd to wake up and listen to the experts this weekend as well as make a commitment to show up to every event that followed this. JR said he was so nervous at the beginning that he sweat through two pairs of underwear on the way home, but look where we are now!
“It’s that magic moment when you realize what you do today determines the future.”
