If you want a thing bad enough:
To go out and fight for it,
Work day and night for it,
Give up your time and your peace and your sleep for it
If only desire of it makes you mad enough never to tire of it
Makes you hold all things tawdry and cheap for it.
If life seems all useless and empty without it,
And all that you scheme and you dream is about it.
If gladly you’ll sweat for it, fret for it, plan for it.
Lose all your terror of devils or man for it.
If you’ll simply go after the thing that you want
With all your capacity, strength, and sagacity
Faith, hope, and confidence, stern pertinacity.
If neither cold, poverty, famine, nor gaunt
Nor sickness nor pain of body and brain
Can keep you away from the thing that you want.
If dogged and grim you besiege and beset it,
You’ll get it!!

Here’s the poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, from 1916
But to every mind there openeth,
A way, and way, and away,
A high soul climbs the highway,
And the low soul gropes the low,
And in between on the misty flats,
The rest drift to and fro.
But to every man there openeth,
A high way and a low,
And every mind decideth,
The way his soul shall go.
One ship sails East,
And another West,
By the self-same winds that blow,
‘Tis the set of the sails
And not the gales,
That tells the way we go.
Like the winds of the sea
Are the waves of time,
As we journey along through life,
‘Tis the set of the soul,
That determines the goal,
And not the calm or the strife.

“What do you first do when you learn to swim? You make mistakes, do you not? And what happens? You make other mistakes, and when you have made all the mistakes you possibly can without drowning – and some of them many times over – what do you find? That you can swim? Well – life is just the same as learning to swim! Do not be afraid of making mistakes, for there is no other way of learning how to live!” — Alfred Adler

Corporate America sells dreams as well. The boss calls you on your cell phone and says “John, meet me out front of the office in 10 minutes, I want to show you something.” Ten minutes later your boss pulls up in his brand new Lamborghini. The door lifts up and you sit down. “Wow” you say, “This is a nice car”. “Thank you John, I really was excited to get it”. You and the boss take off and head up to one of the most prestigious areas in town. “This is an amazing area” you say as you drive up the mountain side through some of the wealthiest estates you have ever seen. Then you pull up to a gated driveway and a man in a guard house opens the large gates and signals the boss in. As you drive up the long driveway you notice the beautifully landscaped gardens and ponds. “This is unbelievable” you say. Your boss says “Yes, we have several full time gardeners that just keep the place looking good.” As you near the top of the hill you see the most beautiful home you have ever seen. It is like a mansion. It has tennis courts, gardens, horse stables, and a large fountain in the middle of the circle drive. The car stops and the boss and you step out. He says: “Come over here”. You both walk through another garden by a large swimming pool and to an area that overlooks the entire estate. The view is simply breathtaking and then your boss says: “John, if you keep working hard and doing what you are doing, someday, this will all be MINE!
What a dream! Unfortunately, most people spend their entire life building someone else’s dreams! Be proud that you are a business owner and that you have the opportunity to become financially independent and live your own dreams. But also, be excited that you have the opportunity to help others do the exact same thing. Some of life’s greatest rewards is in watching others achieve financial success and having their dreams become a reality.
Begin living your own dreams TODAY!

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step and so does your success in Pre-Paid Legal. Your first goal should be to recruit an associate and then write their membership. If you enroll an associate first, your starting commission on their $35.95 membership would be $138.00! If you choose just to sell a membership then your commission would be only $34.00. So obviously, the best way to get started is to sign up one associate with a membership. I challenge you to do this TODAY! When I joined the company fifteen years ago I signed up my first member and associate within a couple of days. It happened to be my mother, Dr. Judy Smith, who today is a $100,000 income earner with the company and has multiple $100,000 income earners on her team. Over the last fifteen years I have earned millions of dollars but it all started with my very first sale. What was that first sale worth? About 5 million dollars so far. Because if I hadn’t made the first sale I would have simply quit the business.
Dan Holman joined the business seven years ago. He went out his first day and sat across the table with nine people and wrote eight memberships. He went on to earn over $100,000 a year, but it all started with him taking ownership of his success and writing his first sale. Dave Paperno is today one of the top producers for the entire company. He has sold over 12,000 personal memberships and earned over a million dollars in income. But just like everyone else, he went out and made his first sale, got a check, and it motivated him to go out and get another one. Jeremy Roma has built a team that has sold over 23,000 membership so far. But it all started with his very first sale. He may not be able to tell you about the last twenty memberships he has written, but he could definitely tell you the story about his first membership sale. My brother Mike has earned over a Million dollars in the last seven years, and his team has marketed over 30,000 memberships. His million-dollar business all started with his first sale. Kris Evans wrote 50 double memberships on Thursday of this week. Everyone would love a $9,000 day! But you never get a $9,000 day unless you first have a $138 one. I could go on and on with how every success story has started. But they all have the same beginning. These people made a decision to be successful and they went out and made it happen and it all started with their first sale.
You can make excuses or you can make money – but you can’t make both! I challenge you to start TODAY by going out and recruiting your first associate and writing your first membership. It will be the first chapter in your Pre-Paid Legal success story. You may get some rejection, you may have to do several presentations before you get a sale, but I promise you it will be worth it! Success is a choice. If success were a requirement everyone would be successful. Everyone would have a big team, a big bank account, and would become financially independent. But success is not a requirement. We allow people to make excuses instead of making money. If you are going to make an excuse then pick anyone you want. There are thousands of excuses that people use to avoid success. Have you ever heard the story about the guy that quit and never made their first sale? Probably not, because those stories are boring and useless. Quitters never win and winners never quit. Decide that you will be a winner and have success TODAY! Go out and enroll your first associate TODAY! Go out and sell your first membership TODAY! There has never been a better window of opportunity than right now. Your success is simply what you settle for. Don’t settle for the table scraps when you can own the whole palace.
To Your Success!
