2024 tips to making it a Great Year!!!
One thing that most all human beings want starting today January 1 is a better year than the previous year especially in the financial department. There is a exercise that I have done which has been a Game Changer. It will help you review 2023 and take your to the next level in 2024. Answer the following questions take your time to really get the most out of this exercise .. What you want and why!!! Without a destination in your life it’s not possible to grow and succeed . The first thing we do when we get into our car is log in the details of Google/Apple Maps GPS. If we don’t know the destination the car will just go in circles your life will be the same way. I would recommend to read my book or reread it again as it will help you define your why and help your awareness on this area – Your Best Year Ever https://bit.ly/yourbestyr – Available in Japanese, Russian, Spanish, English, Swedish, Hindi, Chinese 2 – What are your highlights over the past year? This will help you focus and be grateful for the good things that happened…. 3- What were your struggles and why? If we continue think the same the way and do the same things we will continue to get the same results. This will help you see your patterns that don\’t serve you… 4 – What did you learn about yourself and what daily action habits can implemented to grow & reach my Business Goals and thus my Financial Goals? Nothing new happens in life with out change. Success can be attributed to the daily habits that make huge difference in our results. For example setting a goal you will share the Product and the Business once a day, everyday for 2024 for most this would be a Game Changer in results. Another example would be if you in 2023 were doing 30 minutes of personal development a day and changed it to 1 hour a day, just doing that extra 30 minutes a day how much more would you develop as a person as a business person….? Wishing and Praying that you have your BEST YEAR EVER IN 2024…. Joe
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
It was 1996 3 years into my entrepreneurial journey I was on a small cruise ship touring the Islands of Toronto with a number of my Network Marketing colleagues. As I was enjoying the beautiful Toronto skyline from Lake Ontario a gentlemen and I started to have a conversation. After a bunch of small talk he turned to me and said \”Joe I have been in the industry now for 10 years truthfully I have never seen anyone who has grown more than you\”and then we were called into the cabin for Dinner. At the time he clearly meant this as a compliment however, I could not help myself thinking over Dinner wow I am no where near the person I want to be especially my business goals were yet to be achieved…I must have been really really horrible when I started.. Frankly I probably was on a scale of 1- 10 a minus 10 however, what I had going for me was I was in LOVE WITH MY DREAM!!! So keeping this in mind how I broke through is I practiced everyday on my mindset and the basics of the business. Take a look at anyone you know in life that has excelled I can guarantee what made them excel was not God treating them special over anyone else it was their ability to practice everyday on their craft. PRACTICE DOES MAKE PERFECT, but to put in the PRACTICE you definitely need to be in LOVE WITH YOUR DREAM. I would never ever have put in the tens of thousands of hours of CONSISTENT PRACTICE if my VISION MY DREAM WAS NOT CLEAR AND MORE IMPORTANTLY IF I WAS NOT IN LOVE WITH my DREAM……..
HOW TO EXPLODE YOUR INCOME AND BUSINESS IN 2022!!!!
A few years into my Network Marketing career I came across a book that became a difference maker for me in exploding my business at that time. A couple of years later a person in my organization gave me as a gift an audio program that I listened to everyday for 2 years that 20X my income and organization sales. So what does these defining moments have in common? AWARENESS!!! I started my personal development journey in 1993 I disciplined myself and committed to feeding my mind with only prosperity, abundance, hope and love for 45 mins a day…. When I wanted and needed to take my business to the next level all I did is increase my time in this area to 1 hour a day etc… to increase my awareness and then more importantly I taught that discipline over and over again. Those 2 defining moments probably would never have happened to me, it would have just been words on a page or just another audio program, because at those 2 moments all the hours I put into myself focused on growing my awareness came all together and aligned with me mind, body and soul – I JUST GOT IT!! Success is indeed Simple Disciplines Repeated overtime…. If you were disciplined enough to do 30 minutes a day in 2021 take it to an hour double that commitment and expect in due time to have these defining moments happen to you. YOU ARE EITHER MOVING TOWARDS WHAT YOU WANT IN LIFE OR MOVING AWAY FROM IT. THIS ALWAYS DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU ARE FOCUSED ON MOST!
NETWORK MARKETING LEADS TO DIVORCE!!!
I came home after my first Network Marketing business presentation all excited I manifested the vehicle to my Dreams looked into the mirror and told my self I would never quit or even think about quitting. I would persist until I succeeded…. My next obstacle was my wife I was relatively newly married and had a 1 year old son. I knew that with all my heart that I needed the support of my partner in life however, I could not even imagine the commitment that was needed to succeed. I sat with her and told her that I don\’t need her support but I would love it, I was going to do this and succeed with or without her support. She felt my commitment, my stubborness I was doing it for my DREAMS of our family. She could not say no!!! When I started to travel for business it was not easy leaving her at home with our young kids it was hard on her but I made a promise to her that I would never book a trip more than 7 days and miss any birthdays etc…. For the most part I kept that promise a couple of times due to travel schedules just was not possible. I have witnessed many a divorce in our industry particularly with top leaders and in lieu of high profile Divorces with the Gates and Bezos it is difficult at the best of times to have that balance, here are some reasons why Divorces become an end result in the industry of Network marketing 1) Leaders who had a good to great run of 6 or 7 figure income and then got in to jumping around from company and company trying to regain the income they did in that magical run/financial distress – never attaining the freedom of residual income /financial plan 2) – The 100% support was never given from the beginning and communicated 3) a Family plan of balance. 4) Values of both partners are never communicated and worked on … If you are starting in the industry or you are moving up in rank in your company becoming a 10% income earner your balance in family life will be challenged, many conflicts will come about . Most understand that nothing is more important than family however, when you are driven, when you have fallen in LOVE with your DREAM balance becomes the most difficult thing to accomplish. Suggestions – – Have a serious talk with your spouse, partner like I did share your commitment let them know it\’s important to have their support but you don\’t need it…. – Schedule family time. For example what I did is use my planner from Sunday to Sunday and scheduled my family time with my wife. This was hard to do as I thrived as a spontaneous person but it saved so many Potential conflicts… -travel set a commitment and goal never to be away from home for a certain period and never miss special family events.. Many will say you have to pay the price for success do not make your family pay the price its a simple error in judgement that will catch up to you negatively. – Have a financial plan. What we did is we got to a lifestyle we were comfortable with and invested the rest making more residual income. Many of the toys Network Marketers purchase gets them into trouble as they become losing assets. Most of the time they are purchased to show people they are successful which becomes a simple error in judgement. I saved 10% of my commissions, 10% for my Kids College , put away a percentage for taxes…. we had a 10% fund for fun as a family. Looking back the best investments I made was in the area of exotic family vacations , the countries we visited were FOOD for our marriage and family life.. – Involve your spouse/partner as much as you can even if they don\’t want to be a part of the action part of the business find ways where you can involve them. Every little thing count. – Ask your spouse/partner to write down the top 10 values they have and compare it to yours. This exercise can be a relationship blessing understanding what is important to your spouse/partner. This year my wife and I are celebrating our 33rd anniversary most of them have been in my network marketing career we know nothing else, our marriage has thrived in all ways and I attribute that to the steps I have shared above.
A BIG CLUE!!! CLEAN YOUR CAR!!!
For over 20 years I have volunteered for the Good Shepherd organization on their Saturday soup kitchens and their Christmas store. Families & individuals in need would register for the store and at an allotted time they would go throughout the store and choose food, toys, clothes etc… Since I was usually the youngest volunteer it was my job to carry the boxes from their shopping spree down a flight of steps and into their cars. I began to notice car after car that I loaded over the years were filthy dirty in most cases it looked like the cars had never been clean before. I could not help the thought or try not to judge, but I just imagined what their houses looked like and maybe it was a glimpse into why they were struggling in their finances. Before any of you take this post personally, please keep in mind I had loaded over the years thousands of cars, my observation did not come in a small sample size. Furthermore, a few years ago I was going to do business with a Real estate agent in investing in a few homes with her. I met her at her house and we jumped into her car and I was aghast the car was filthy with weeks old coffee cups & wrappers, her back seat was full of papers. She explained that she was using her car as an office as she probably saw the expression on my face. That was the deal breaker for me, if she allowed her car to be this messy what other things in her life she kept messy. You may not think that a clean car is important but it can be a reflection about you and your life in many areas.. When you respect your belongings particularly your biggest assets like a car that energy will continue through out your life in a big positive way. Always keep in mind the energy that exudes from you and what you own will always revert back to you in one way or another…

Building YOUR Business Foundation
Last December 2019 I was in the beautiful city of Trujillo, Peru the first of 4 city\’s on my Peru Road Show events. The local leadership team invited me to visit a buried ancient city Chan Chan that was found in the early 80\’s. The city was the capital of the Chimú kingdom (c. ad 1100–1470) and the largest city in pre-Columbian America. As we walked into the burial tombs where all the Royals of that society were buried. All the Gold, Silver Diamonds, etc. that were buried with the Kings, Queens, and Royal subjects were pillaged by the Spaniards. It was typical behaviour by the Spanish settlers when they found anything that was valuable they would do anything possible to secure the possessions even kill, and then they would send the wealth back home to the mother land Spain… Today Latin America, Mexico to the southern tip of Argentina I believe is still paying the price for this. Let me explain…. When you compare Canada and USA prosperity of its average citizens to Latin America there is a significant difference. It\’s really not logical, they are on the same side of the planet, settled by basically the same people Western Europeans and have similar resources. I believe the difference in the 2 society\’s came when the foundation was created. In Canada and the USA the settlers primarily came here looking for a home this is why we celebrate Thanksgiving where as Latin America the Spaniards and the Portuguese primarily came looking for wealth and they certainly founds lots of it and sent it back home. Today it seems that energy that was created is still permeating in both continents… Keeping this in mind when you start your Network Marketing business or any business in general the energy that you start with will effect your future success or failure. Energy will always permeate for years. I believe 100% because I had fallen in Love with my DREAM then attracted Network Marketing as my vehicle to my Dreams my foundation of my business was unbreakable and it led me to a life of Prosperity and Abundance….. I have seen so many who start for the wrong reasons (bad foundation), or they will try to see if it works, they are looking for wealth, and easy fix to their financial problems etc… It\’s not possible to have a strong foundation in your Business if you have not fallen in Love with your DREAM!!!! The Pilgrims of Canada and USA from France, the UK and even from Spain because they came to the new world fulfilling a DREAM for a new HOME that beautiful unbreakable energy has permeated generations later with great Prosperity and Abundance for people from all over the world who have settled in the 2 countries. Learn from this fall in Love with your DREAM and that energy will be unbreakable and it will help you overcome your challenges, your disappointments, the huge distractions and lack of belief in yourself… Nothing is more Powerful than LOVE its the answer to having a great life. FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR DREAM!!!!

Russian Empire
It\’s September 2009 I just landed in Moscow, Russia, it was my first time in Russia. I did not know what to think about Russia all I knew we were growing a big team in Pre-Launch phase and had several committed leaders. As I was patiently waiting in the customs line I was focused on how Grateful I was to have this upcoming experience… So now it is my turn finally I go up to the window and show my passport…. which has my Russian Visa glued to one of the pages. Suddenly he calls someone and the Gentlemen asks me what I am doing in Russia… I quickly stated I was seeing some friends…. and wanted to see the beautiful city of Moscow plus had some business meetings… He then points to my visa and points to the expiry DATE… OMG it shows that I need to leave in 2 days. My plan with the leaders was to stay for 9 days they were all extremely excited I made this commitment, they were waiting for this trip from me for over a year. Many events planned my schedule was jammed pack. Its an obvious error by the Russian Consulate in Toronto. The officer tells me emphatically, he can\’t extend it and I need to leave Russia in 2 days …. I can\’t believe this, what I am going to do, I made a promise. I have come to learn as a leader you never break your promises, no excuses. I have seen to many times leaders who make promises and break them because at the time they want to tell people what they want to hear. In all cases not following through with your promises will destroy the biggest of teams. When Trust is lost more than likely you can never get it back…. The consequences of this now starts to permeate through my entire being, I know if I leave in 2 days more than likely I will lose this team, if I extend my trip past the visa expiry date there is a great chance I get arrested and thrown into jail. Growing up in North America we all are programmed into believing the Russian state is brutal, so the fear is so outrageous now I need to gather my self and focus on a solution. So I gather my bags and walk out of the baggage department a group of women leaders are there to greet me with flowers and a loud ovation their energy is so infectious, it caused a major scene. I could not help but think , the people all around observing this were all wondering who is this guy getting greeted like this by all these beautiful strong women….. As I get to the Hotel I sit down with the main leader Elena and I tell her my predicament, she responds in her broken English \”Joe you can\’t leave, it will destroy all our work the previous year\”. I ask what will happen to me if I stay passed my visa expiry date. She does not know….. Right then and there I made the choice, I am thinking to myself I made a promise and I will not break it, no excuses, I always follow through. So no matter the consequences I will honour it.. The 9 days were incredible( although it was difficult I tried not to think about the fear of the unknown and believe it was major fear) the team exploded with the help of my European leaders Tomas & Garth who had driven the market with their visits, Russia became a monster for us. No matter what the excuse, no matter how difficult things become, never break your promises to your team…. One of the top 3 leadership reasons organizations fall apart. I have personally witness teams into the 6 figures that have crashed and burned.. Our greatest asset in Network Marketing is our organization, always keep in mind it is very FRAGILE even in the best of times….
MONEY!!!
I see so much suffering in the world all because of MONEY!!! MONEY to most creates so much anguish so much stress so much negativity that people kill for it, marriages fall apart because of it, people steal because of it, family\’s fight over it when a loved one dies…. Churches close, even doing what most would consider doing the most important of work on this Planet – Gods work – because of lack of MONEY, almost a billion people starve to death on this planet due to the lack of it…… this unquestionably should not happen in this world with so much abundance and prosperity. When I clearly understood how to have a relationship with MONEY the world of Abundance and Prosperity came into my Life.. It\’s taken me awhile to write this, I share some thoughts of the relationship I started to have with MONEY many years ago, guaranteed to help you build this MONEY energy into your life……. I would recommend you read this daily print it out when you feel vulnerable because of MONEY read it…. IF THIS TOUCHES YOU I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR FEEDBACK ON THE POST…. Most people think they know me. They don’t. I am not what most people think I am. I am not the paper in your wallet, or the coins that jingle in your purse. I am not quietly sitting in your bank account, hoping to be used one day. You cannot see me, feel me or touch me. I AM AN IDEA. I AM ENERGY. I’m neither good nor evil. I am only what you decide that I am, and I fulfill the role that you create for me. I don’t care how smart you are, where you live, what you do, or where you come from. All I care about is your energy. Your energy decides what thoughts you have, and therefore your thoughts will determine the relationship you have with me. I have very simple needs, and simple rules. I AM INFINITE. I have no limits, except for those you place on me with your mind. There is no limit to the energy in the world, and because I am simply energy, I cannot be restricted or controlled. I crave abundance. I am attracted to those who think without restrictions, who like to think big. When you believe there is enough of me to go around, I am naturally magnetized by that thinking. I despise scarcity. Because there is no limit to me, I avoid those who think from a win/lose or scarcity perspective. Those who believe I am in short supply, or difficult to receive, will find that very reality, because I choose to avoid those who think small. I love value. What magnetizes me most is the creation of value in the universe. I move to places where value is created, because creation is energy. If you wish to attract me into your life, focus on creating value for others, and I will appear. I avoid entitlement and complacency. No one ‘deserves’ to have me, and I am always moving to the place I am most respected and where value is created. It has nothing to do with ‘fair’. Those who take me for granted or become complacent with my energy will find me gone. I only have one job, and that is to serve you. It is a matter of energy and value creation. My purpose is simply to move to where I am attracted most, and where I can grow. My one goal is to replicate myself. Because there is no limit to energy, my purpose is to reproduce and grow, in orderto bring more energy to the universe. I am created and replicated through value creation. I am an energy of evolution. The message for you should be clear. Those who create value for others in the world will find me in their lives. I AM WHATEVER YOU BELIEVE ME TO BE. So what you believe about me can make you miserable, or what you believe canenable you to perform miracles. I’m neither positive, nor negative. I am what you decide I am. If you fear me in any way, I can crush your ability to survive. If you get to know me, I can make your life flourish and your dreams come alive. I can be your master, or I can be your servant. I am only what you make me. So, the relationship we have together will be determined by you. Isn’t it time we got to know each other better? I Believe in your GREATNESS 100% God Bless, your friend Joe Garcia
Who is Whispering in YOUR EAR???
Many years ago I had a defining moment in my NM career which changed everything for me. It was so clear to me, if I wanted to change personally where I was financially, my lifestyle, my relationships, I needed to do this! I stopped taking financial advice from people that were broke. I stopped taking advice from people who never build a serious residual income in 1 company for more than 5 years. I did not care if a person went to the top of 5 different companies in 10 years, I wanted to build a long term walkaway business with 1 company… I stopped getting health tips from unhealthy people. I stopped taking relationship advice from people with toxic or boring relationships and I stopped looking for spiritual guidance from people that couldn’t demonstrate to me that they were attracting what they were preaching. It sounds pretty simple doesn’t it? But take a look at how often you take advice from people who don’t walk the talk. How many times have we seen people in our industry get excited when they started their business only to quit a few days later because they spoke to their broke family member who never had any history of success in business. How many times have we seen so called leaders tell people they have found a home as part of their marketing story and a year later they found another home and then another home or that they have hit the greatest company in the world, greatest compensation plan for the umpteen time… I follow the rule that “if they don’t SHOW it, they don’t KNOW it” and I learned to stay away from these people like they had the plague particularly when I was trying to establish myself in the industry of Network Marketing. We certainly have an epidemic in the business world where people are professing that they are the experts, they have learned to brand themselves real well. I am all for branding yourself it is good marketing strategy, but keep in mind be careful who you are taking advice from. Instead, I found people who had manifested what I desired and ask them for help. These are what we call mentors. It is critical in the business world, particularly in Network Marketing to have a coach/mentor. When You surround yourself with the best you become the best. The best part of the “advice” I am giving you right now is that you can prove this to yourself! Have a super Day Sending your great blessings of Prosperity and Abundance…, Joe Garcia
