Below is a post that I wrote this morning in response to some postings in the UK about the Vmdirect business opportunity and the WowMeNow Pre-Launch. Names have been X'ed out...

XXXXX, you mention that at max 1 to 2 percent will make anything. (As far as working the pre-launch) I beg to differ. Since I ran the last WowMeNow pre-launch (30,000 people in 30 days) and over the last two years I have tested, developed, tweaked our new pre-launch marketing system... I do know the game well. 1 to 2 percent is not correct.

As far as "Leaders" jumping from one company to the next to make a quick buck each time... Yes, that happens out there. It is sad. Each time, they hurt their reputation. Soon others wont follow because now you are a "Serial Network Marketer". People want a home... long-term to really build a life-long residual income. Hopping from one company to the next sounds more like a job and a way to take advantate of people and companies. Believe me, this is not a blast to those who have done that in the past. Sometimes, you have to do it, like if a company goes out of business or the owners of the company are not who you thought they were.

As far as the Pre-Launch with the WowMeNow system, I don't hide the numbers... I am upfront with everyone so they know what to expect. That way, everyone stays with us long-term and I can tell you... Almost every single person that I brought in on the pre-launch 2 years ago is still working VMdirect with me today. (I have yet to EVER find a lead source that provides more 'stickiness' to an organization.

Also keep in mind... You may have not ever seen a system like this before. It's new, yet proven. It works for people who work. It's a system that rewards the workers and the lazy folks that come in and try to make a quick buck end up quitting even before they start. I love how this system works. You end up only working with true leaders. Remember, it took me 2 years of research and tens of thousands of dollars US to put this all together and figure all of this out, so that no one else on the WowMeNow Team has to...

So here are the numbers:

Out of your entire WowMeNow Pre-Launch organization, you'll see at the LEAST a 10-12 percent enrollment from a "free" member to a paid VMdirect Affiliate under you. And that is only if you follow the system that we have laid out for people in the WowMeNow back office. Some may see a much higher amount of people. One of the folks that I was working with 2 years ago in the first WowMeNow launch had over 70 people out of about 200 enroll to become a VMdirect Affiliate. And those 200 had others join, who had others join, who had others join, etc. There were others who had hundreds in their pre-launch (even thousands) who did not follow the "rules" in the back office of WowMeNow and only had a handful of people join. Those people who did not work the system ended up quitting VMD anyway. So it all works out.

Out of the people that you personally bring on board, it's up to you to work with them, make a friend and help them market their WowMeNow website out there. If someone joins us who is looking for a 'quick buck' that never calls or e-mails his people, and just wants to make a lot of money fast... that "could" happen... it is highly unlikely- and that person will quit the business within a week anyway.

These people are easy to pick out. They jump from one company to another never accomplishing anything. They run around in circles for YEARS and never break out of the rat race.

The Pre-Launch WowMeNow Marketing system does a pretty good job sorting people. Those who are the "Players" and are serious about this business and want to find a home and stick with a great company for years will do VERY well during this pre-launch. Those who are "Serial Networkers", who jump from one company to the next will quit even before we launch into VMdirect because they will get bored and not see piles of money within their first few days of coming in.

There is a lot behind this marketing system than what appears on the surface... believe me. For those who are ethical, have a good work ethic, like to help people, and truly want time and financial freedom, they will do VERY will in the WowMeNow Pre-launch.

It's up to the individual how big they want this to be. It also comes down to their belief level. If they are afraid of success, don't think that they are "worthy" of it and have a habit of sabotaging themselves, then they'll have a hard time in this pre-launch. For someone that goes into this thinking, "This is my ONE shot", or "This is do or die for me", will get them the results that they were looking for.

AS for me... Why did I do so well in the first pre-launch? (Which by the way helped many people go full-time into VMdirect their very first month when VM launched and helped many, many others earn solid part time incomes.) So why did I do so well?

It was do or die for me.

I was broke, jobless, on unemployment, sick, sad, depressed and about to lost my car and my apartment AGAIN. I was 24 years old when I found out about VMdirect. I will admit, I was a loser. I lived paycheck to paycheck and had nothing going for me. At the time I had over 30 jobs over the course of 8 years and no one would hire me. Life was well... how can I put it... not fun.

I found out about VMdirect and I hate to admit it... but borrowed $300 from my Mom (which she says was her best investment ever!), and created the first WowMeNow pre-launch. The site was ugly. The replication software was horrible. But it was all I had. I had found out that VMdirect was launching as a Network Marketing company in about 40 days. I knew I had to act fast.

So I put everything together, not knowing what I was doing and then signed up for the WowMeNow system myself. Now I had my own website I could share with others. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you are 3 weeks away from being kicked out of your apartment and just days away from having your car taken away because you couldn't make the payments. Not only that, but I couldn't afford FOOD. Believe me... Life sucked.

But I knew that the VMdirect business was my "one shot". I also knew it was "do or die" for me. I HAD to make it work. Plus I was SO TIRED of being broke and stupid. I wanted time and financial freedom. I wanted it all. It felt so far away. I wanted a house, a new car with all the bells and whistles, to travel at least once a month and more. I wanted a life that very few 24 year olds had. And something inside of me clicked and I said to myself that I am going to work the first WowMeNow pre-launch like my life depended on it. And I did.

My first month in VMdirect, because of the pre-launch, I earned much more in one month than I ever earned in a year. That turned into a 5-figure monthly income month two and every month after. (I am NOT making an income claim here. As with any business, it takes hard work, dedication, etc. to become successful. Again, zero income claims here. It's up to YOU what you earn. Not me.)

Within a month I had paid off my car. I could pay my bills on time for the first time in years! I paid off a $30,000 debt I owed to a real estate investor from a deal we did that went bad months prior. I was doing a lot of traveling around the country just because I could afford to do it. I ended up going to Texas, met a GREAT girl down here and moved down just a few weeks after.

Now I live in a MUCH warmer place where there's no snow- which I grew up with and did not like one bit. Too cold! I now have a new I'd call it semi-luxury car instead of a 2001 Honda that I was driving before, a house, I travel for fun and to visit family with my girlfriend at least once a month all over the country. Something that a lot of 26 year olds would love to do- but they just don't know about VMdirect yet!

Soon, we'll be heading over to the United Kingdom after VMdirect launches there. We plan to travel the world, and will be doing it with each country that VMdirect launches into. And as you may guess, we'll be using the WowMeNow Pre-Launch system for every launch. So far VMdirect is launching into at least 15 countries that we are approved in. (As far as where and when... please don't ask.... it's a secret right now.)

So here I am... from a broke and stupid 24 year old with nothing going for him to a 26 year old that is living the life of his dreams all because of the first pre-launch and the incredible company, VMdirect. I put my heart and soul into it. Those who did the same are doing VERY well also. I tell you all of this to show you that ANYONE can do this business. It's all in the mindset and how hard you work. It's that simple.

Will everyone have the success I had and will have in this UK launch? NO WAY! Believe me, I wish that everyone would become successful and accomplish their dreams and goals in a matter of months, but the reality is this: Most people get in their own way. They end up watching TV all night instead of marketing their UK WowMeNow Pre-launch website.

When the Pre-launch first started 2 years ago, I killed my TV. (Which I used to watch ALL the time.) It's now been two years that I have had a TV. The only thing that I watched on TV in the last 2 years was the Super bowl. I have found that without TV... life is MUCH better. Things are more positive, you have more time to work on yourself, read, help others, etc. Another story for another day.

I also want to mention one last thing that is the most important piece of advice that one of my mentors gave me two years ago. He said, "Rob, you only have one thing in this industry (MLM), and that is your reputation." I have lived by that rule since day one. And because I value my reputation in this industry, a lot of cool things have happened from multi-multi-millionaires in this business mentoring me to being featured in a Network Marketing magazine in the “Young and Successful” edition.

I see too many people in this industry treat others wrong, take advantage of people and companies and on and on. There are bad eggs in any industry that you are involved with- but it seems to be more public with Network Marketing because after all- Network Marketing is all about the people!

Treat peole the way you want to be treated. Go the extra mile. Be honest. Work hard. Help others. Spend at least 1 hour a day reading or listing to audios on personal development. Then teach others what you learn. Become the person that you've always wanted to be but were for some reason afraid actually taking the first step.

I appreciate the private messages people have sent me. I am sorry that I do not reply to those asking why my site address is, but if you have any questions about the pre-launch or want to get involved, go to Streamer's WowMeNow website. He can help you. He's doing what most people do not do in the pre-launch... TAKING ACTION... which is the secret to success in this business or in any business for that matter.

I will soon be starting to host live conference calls and live video broadcasts using VMdirect's live video broadcasting technology where you will be able to SEE and HEAR me LIVE in a large window or even full-screen on your computer. I'll be doing that several times a week, then ramping up to everyday and then several times a day which will help everyone in the UK WowMeNow pre-launch.

Also, this most likely will be my last ever post on this board. I've got too much on my plate to be posting Loooooooong messages like this. Just like everyone else, I am also out there marketing my UK Pre-Launch website. But I also have to manage the Pre-Launch, keep building here in North America, help the current team and also get ready for the VMdirect event that is coming up in a week or so in Las Vegas. Busy busy busy!

And finally... because of this post, I am now without breakfast. Before I started writing, I took out my last two eggs and decided to make hard boiled eggs. I put them in pan of water and turned the heat on high. I was going to take them off the heat in 10 minutes and eat them. Well, I started typing this post and lost track of time.

Just 3 minutes ago, as I was typing BOOOOOOOOOOOOM! There was what sounded like a gunshot in my kitchen. I'm serious. I got up, grabbed the first thing I saw for a weapon and ran to the kitchen.

What I saw was something that I will never forget. There was one of my hard boiled eggs... EVERYWHERE in my kitchen. It exploded! All of the water had evaporated! Parts of egg was found about 20 feet away in a candle. Parts were in plants, on the walls, floor, and ceiling. Somehow, the yolk had been shot about 15 feet away and the little hard ball landed in my glass of water. I never knew that eggs can explode and be so loud- it really was like a gun shot!

Oh, and what was the first thing I grabbed when I ran out into the kitchen? Well, I am not sure why I grabbed this... maybe I wanted some sort of weapon or something in case there was a shootout going on- who knows. But after I saw the mess, I looked down into my hand and I had "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill, which I was going through for the hundredth time last night.

Not too sure what that book would have done for me in the kitchen if there was someone in there with a gun... But I sure do know what that book has done for my life.

So now you know the rest of the story. Hopefully you can see that there is just a normal guy behind these words that happens to be at the right place at the right time with videos on the internet. VMdirect is an awesome company. I've been to the office in Las Vegas seven times, with next week being my 8th. I've spent well over a month at the home offices, the first time was actually three weeks!!!!

We have great people running this company, which I truly can call family. We're in a market that is EXPLODING (like my eggs) on the internet. Magazines here in North America now talk about videos on the internet in every issue- which I've been waiting two years for. The market is now ready to accept video.

Soon, you will not be reading the internet... You will be watching it. Just like these boards... They will be a thing of the past. We are launching video blogging this summer, which you will be able to create video message boards, so we can all see each other. Won't that be cool! YES IT WILL!

So if you have already joined the WowMeNow Team... GREAT! As I mentioned, we have at least 15 more pre-launches planned over the next 12-24 months... and most likely more than that! If you've been looking for a home, a company you can be a part of for many years with a fun product that changes people's lives... You just found it.

I wish all of you success in whatever you decide to do. Work hard out there and play even harder. Have fun! See you soon on the live broadcasts and conference calls! If you do end up coming on board… then I look forward to meeting you when my girlfriend and I head out to the UK to help Leaders host business opportunity presentations.

See you on the beaches of the WORLD.

Rob
