Great video Eric. True and honest. Thanks for sharing and hopefully you got some rest haha. Long day of travel.

It is discouraging getting stood up. Happens to me a lot. The longest? Not that long for me. I think 300 miles.

You look terrible on this show, and its so great because what is ONE of the secrets in business ? You have to work your face off.... Great

Yes...it is work! My work before network marketing was as a jazz singer...and I still sing. But being on the road, being my own booking agent, my own sound crew, my own hair stylist, my own vocal coach, my own diner diver, my own navigation specialist, the chart writer for the band, the 'momma' to the band when they were in some discomfort or didn't have a good day, or night...all of that and then I had to get up and be the headliner and carry the show at night!
I know about work, and I like network marketing, even though I am a newbie....'one on one' is not so bad...and if you have a terrific product like I do, it is downright fun! Thanks for all of your guidance and info Eric....you rock, or I should say...you swing man!

Hey Eric, look after yourself - you hear?! We need you for many years to come! Thanks for the message - don't let adversity cause you to quit - overcome and love yourself!

Thank you, Eric. The timing for receiving your message is great!
I loved to see so much of you in this video, honestly tired, talking about the work behind the passion.
I am in a point in my life when I am tired because I worked hard for many years (16) and I would like to experience only the passion not the work behind. This video it is a great reminder!
I was looking to other comments and I want to acknowledge GraftedInTheVine "Thank you Eric for being REAL!"

Also I think we need to listen what our body tells us. It is our compass. It can tell us what our passion is and what is the best job for us.

I love you Eric.
You made me smile.
I realy want to WORK together with you for ever and DO LIFE.
You are doing a great job.
Thank you
Yoram Fuss

Sometimes you need to be a warrior yes.
And this is not even something you can brag about, ask RG if you dont' believe me...
Thank you Eric for showing yourself when it's not only rosy and wonderful and glamorous !

my longest trip was in Italy some 30 years ago, where I left the car, before reaching Venice on foot, carrying my tent, exactly 2 weeks later !...I know this is not the same, as I did it with the intent to walk, which is fun to me...

Eric -
You inspire me every day !
hugs
Chris

Very timely message--I needed to hear at this moment. Have a great trip "down under".

Yeah, work.
But Kiev-Sydney via Los Angeles?

Hello Eric Worre !
This is Rachel from Brasil ! we are in the biggining here and I already know that it's hard sometimes . Two months ago Tony Zolecki was here and he spent about 16 days helping our group . We traveled together to some towns and I watched him doing great presentations, even when I knew he was tired and very sick , he never gave up , I don't know about the others but , I can assure that I learned a lot from him , I can tell that it was a pleasure working with a such lider and being trainnined and tat jus by watching his atitudes .
Eric allow me to call you like this after watching you several times a week I feel i'm your friend .I wished I could translate all your talks to the begginners in our group .I'm sure it would help man of them .
Well I felt sorry watching you doing this talk so tired , you deserved a massage , a warm shower and a nice relaxing nigth ...and I hope you got it.
But I want to have this problem traveling all over the world when my team grows....!

You need to control your body
Instead of your body's controlling you

You really got balls man! I appreciate all you're doing. Take care, your biggest fan. Danny van Nispen

Thank you Eric for being REAL!

You are awesome ! Eric...
We knew that...we have to impart that impeccable spirt to our downlines!
I admire your spirit, your are so so so so so so so tired and you could still do a 5mins recording..
you are magnificent !!

Great show, Eric. Some days can be tough, but welcome to the world of business, right? It's helpful for me to get off the emotional roller coaster and view it as 'another day at the office".

QOTD: 8-hour flight to England - kid stuff in light of your recent schedule! :-)

You are Amazing Eric.

Eric I don't really know what this Paul guy is saying but I have seen you and Randy work and you are a really hard worker!! It drives me CRAZY!! when people give advice on how to be successful when they don't know anything on success and don't have it. So keep up the great work and i'll keep taking notes and when I have an income like yours at that time I may give other people advice!! But for now my mouth is SHUT and my NOTES are getting full.

WORK, WORK, WORK!!!!

It's NOT work for everyone!!!!

How much work do you think it was for Eric or Randy to reach the TOP???????

The same effort as you????? Not even close to most of your efforts!

So what's different for them vs. YOU and yes ME???

That should be the question of the day!!!!

What did they do that you and I haven't???

I'm not going to put a lot of WORK into any business, yet I'll probably receive as much as the majority of you. You know that 97%. Even though I have and had thousands under me.

So what's the big difference for top leaders in any MLM??????????????????

How can you duplicate their success? Or can you? Are you willing to travel the world???
Is it worth it to you???

The answer is in THINK & GROW RICH! Search google for free copy online.

I had a birthday yesterday. I turned 62. I guess that makes me an official Senior Citizen.

In that light, our dear Uncle Sam will send me a true residual check for $1457 per month. Plus
another $967 for my daughter, until she's 19. If I had only known in advance, I would have had a few more, <grin>.

That added to my IBM retirement, I've received for 13 years and my small MLM income it is starting to add up.

Multiple incomes is starting to make more sense. I need to reactive my real estate license.

Looking back, I would have focused more on what I can produce in terms of residual income than what a compensation plan says is possible. It was those younger years when I bought homes that produced the real income that allowed me to not have 8-5 since 1994. You know that equity we all (home owners) once had in our homes. I took mine out before the crash.

Be patient with your company. Join one that's ROCK SOLID! With products you personally enjoy.

Share those products with others and wait for the "this is good" or "I like this." That's the time their mind is open! More receptive to an opportunity. Get your team or upline to go New School and generate daily leads.

Stop all the HARD WORK!!! If you can't recruit and tell your prospects up front that's it's HARD WORK what does that say about YOU!!!! If you can and they say count me in, when can I start??? Now you're looking good.

Short but true story: A guy builds for years and fails over and over yet has some strong teams. But it seems he's always on the wrong horse. Another tries to recruit him for five years. He finally tells the recruiter I'll call you when I'm ready, stop calling me.

One day, the prospect has exhausted all his options he finally calls the guy back. He says I'm ready to get started. He goes on to build a huge business in the next 5 years and is now earning 7 figures yearly.

Why did he call? The recruiter had only been with one MLM ever. While he had lost count of his MLM's. The recruiter continued to grow a little at a time. He picked the right horse for him. He stayed in the saddle even though it hurt at times. That saddle over time got broke in and when the new guy finally joined the recruiter, the saddle and the horse were now as one for the recruiter. The prospect finally found the horse that fit him.

Are you on the right horse for you? Will you, the saddle and the horse become a cohesive unit?

It's all in THINK & GROW RICH! Think new school marketing what ever that maybe for you!
It doesn't have to be work... if you truely enjoy your company and your products. We can all turn something into a job!

I hope this helps someone.

Paul

Hey Eric,

Thanks for keeping it real. This is a true GOLD nugget that I will send to all the quitters, newbies and current distributors (this will also be a great filter that will save me a ton of time). I tell everyone, this is a simple business, it just takes a lot of hard work - like ANYTHING worth while.

I only see my boss for about 5 minutes each day - when I am brushing my teeth and shaving in the morning in front of my bathroom mirror, just before I walk downstairs to my 7 second commute to my home office for the day - we get along pretty well with each other :-)

Yes, we work hard in this business - but we can take time off whenever we want.

It's called FREEDOM!

Thanks,

Blake Warrington

QOTD: My longest trips are the trips from Toronto, Canada to Kiev, Ukraine. It's about 10 hours in the air. And I can imagine how you are feeling after the trip three times longer...

Eric, anyway, all that hard work is working on your fortune, instead of working on paying the rent, as Jim Rohn said. Remember that 95% of the people must work all his life to die runing in the rat race, just paying the rent.
The hard thing in MLM is to discipline our deceptions. Is different to work hard writing a book than working with the wrong people or suspects. Work hard is nice in the right perspective. I saw a picture of Edison, sleeping in his laboratory, on a table. Rough man, appasionate of what he was doing.
For MLM workers, what can take out of us more energy are the bad partners, those who we have to ask please to do something. I don't do that. Better they leave. Jim Rohn said: never carry a partner in your bag. If they don't want to work, if they don't call, good bye. Nathan Ricks, was very clear in this point too.
After hard work, we must always celebrate, never complain.

If you recruit upfront with honesty those partners are never a problem! It doesn't matter if they work or not! It
is their business isn't it???? Isn't that what we tell them????

Recruit more liked minded people that want to work or as I like to do share your great products and opportunity... be patient.

Learn to invest in your business and other businesses and over time the rewards will be there.

Don't knock the 95% that are still in the "rat race." For 13 years I've collected a retirement check starting at the age of 49. My wife will collect it when I go until her death. I estimate will earn more in retirement than I ever earned while working for that company. I started in 1966 at only $350 per month. You must remember things where a lot cheaper then. I bought a 2 year old 1965 GTO (my first car) 4 barrel 389 for $3200. What would that car be worth today??

Think long term, be patient and enjoy all your partners! You just never know when, what or who will explode their business and YOURS!!!!!

I hope this helps!

Paul

Juan,

I saw your comment on Edison.. Its true he slept in his lab quite often.. the man was Genius and eccentric both.. The reason he slept in his lab as often as he did was that he did not keep regular sleep hours. He slept when he was sleepy, ate when he was hungry and worked in the lab when he was inspired. (most every waking moment.) I thought you'd like that tidbit... Also Einstein had to write down his address and phone # because he believed it just took the space of more important info.. like for instance E= MC square... Einstein also always wore the same clothes , white shirts, black slacks etc for the same reasons mentioned above.

Well, as anything else in life, value things have their price. Other way it would be unethic and inmoral. The secret is to pay the price with gratitude and never complain.
My long trip was 3 days, from Santiago to Rio de Janeiro, by bus.

Thanks again Eric. Now this is what we need to talk about. A solid work ethic is sorely missing in todays environment. Alot of people are enticed by the get rich schemes of todays promoters. Success, really only requires a half days work. It does not matter if it is the first 12 hours or the last. It also comes overnight. After 10-15 years of labor. thanks again. Get some sleep

I always love it when you do not sugar coat it and your right many in our profession give up or move on to another opportunity as soon as it gets tough and you know, my way of thinking it is our fault, many of us that stay in this profession, we do not truly tell our new recruits what it is really like. I have a struggle to build my team because I like to tell them this is not an easy profession, it's hard, it's a job (and a half). Maybe I am wrong, it is just my way.

QOTD: About 27 hours I am thinking but I mostly go to Europe when I travel.

The longest I have done was being on the phone 48 hour straight.
It was a great two days for sure I sponsored over 10 people.

Love the passion behind network marketing pro Eric and the level your willing to go to make things happen.

That's What I'm Talking About!... Thank you Eric for that... Talk about dedication ! No "New School" NM can touch this... Sure it can be said it's easier and going online to to build all your business is more time "efficient" But to build a world wide, national or even local business , NOTHING, But NOTHING compares to looking into someone's eyes, shaking their hand and showing them how it's done. Then helping them build it TOGETHER... There is a reason Politicians touch as many people as possible during their runs for office.

QOTD: My wife, Deb, and I like to consider ourselves road wriors. WE have traveled to or from Indiana in ONE days drive to Washington DC, Raleigh NC, Williamsburg, VA, Little Rock, AR New Orleans, LA Eufala AL and Gulf Shores, AL . However our longest trip was from Indy to The Doral Golf and Tennis Club in Miami, FL over about a 30 hour period with a stop over in Macon, Ga due to monsoon type rain. We then drove to Hilton Head, SC 3 days later and Back to Indianapolis via the Smokey Mountains and Gatlinburg TN.. Al told about 2700 miles in just over 11 days, with most of that over a 72 hour period.

Incredible video. Right form the heart!

Just get a massage and slip your guts out!

Yes, I know it's work. How I know.

But I know this too: I LOVE IT.

Of couse sometimes your are walking like a zombie but when you focus on what you need to do and the acomplishments you are about to, there is nothing I would trade for that.

It's fun!

It's hard!

It's goood :)

QOTD: I feel ashame to say that my longest door-to-door was one ABB at night until 00:30, get to bed at 2:00 AM, wake up at 06:30, head the nord of Portugal (300Km away from home) PBR (Private Business Reception) on oPorto at 15:00, head northwest, Braga, another PBR at 19:00, 22:30 getting back home, get to bed again at 02:00AM after listening to the Greatest Networker in the world :). All done by car, me driving all alone.

None of the PBRs were for me, but for my downlines.

At the end my downline gave up, because "...I don't know what is happening Alfredo, but it seems that everybody already knows about this company..." :-|

ARGHHHHHHHHHHH

Love you all
Alfredo Rodrigues

Leonardo de Vinci, atheletes and musician never become great without regular practice!

Thanks Eric, love all your hard work and appreciate it so much, ... a good reminder to me and everyone, keep it up and never gave up.

Hi Eric,

just like to add that this video is the most effective and correct i have ever seen. Mostly all those videos (not yours.....) are only painting everything so brilliant and easy........but the truth is ".....it´s WORK" nothing else.

thanks a lot like always, looking forward for your number 108#

saludos from mexico

chris

Great message. So many people enter this business and fail because they are told how EASY it will be. Then they quit before they ever learn how to do it right. Thanks for telling it like it is!

Excellent message!!! Just yesterday I was in a meeting witha group of leaders from Venezuela (My home country) and we spoke about that!!! We have to get to work!!! harder and harder!!!!

It's good to see you like that, not because we like to see you suffer, but because it is leading by example, walking the talk...

Have a good night and a nice flight down under!!

Federico

Hey Eric, I'm glad you did a show like this. It's definitely not always a walk in the park. I don't care what profession or what industry you're in, if you want to be successful, you gotta work! Anyone who achieves any kind of success, has worked for it. Great stuff Eric.
QOTD: The longest trip was when my buddy and I drove to Fort Lauderdale, Florida from Toronto - that took about 30 hours! The longest trip by flying was probably about 15 hours door to door.

Eric, wonderful topic. The most difficult part about 'work' for me is when I expect IT to turn out a certain way... every second of the way... and it doesn't. When I am able to give up my expectations for how it is supposed to be I can have a lot more fun... even with work. Another thought just triggered is how the process of netWORKing goes. Attempting to short circuit a step or worse skip one makes for much more difficult WORK in the long run.

QOTD: My longest trip home to return home was 22 weeks. There were 11 'tours' between 17 and 22 weeks each one an adventure. When the trips were that long, home takes a day or two getting reaquainted.

Well my bleary eyed friend...have you ever hit the bulls-eye on this topic today!! This will be forwarded to a few of my team members who have been whining about "how hard it is"..."how no one is interested in buying"..."how no one is joining their MAX team.." .There are always a few who have a cloud over their head...we know the drill..for 2 reasons...for me..to keep on going on to "re-engage them" to paint the story. "
For them to know this is the better way not necessarily the easy way..at least not every day..! Do NOT Quit...GRIT is what we need to keep on getting up!
Thanks again..my biggest journey...same one you're taking..on my way to Australia from Toronto- a few stops in Tahiti, Fiji, Hawaii and of course LAX...unforgettable..took a bus with tourists around Honolulu on stop over...and we ALL SLEPT on the bus!

I have had those tough days, as I am sure a lot of people have and I am very glad you posted this video and could still put a smile on your face. I am sure that sometimes it is very hard to keep trucking after a big set back, but If you do, then it will be well worth it. Take that bad day and do something for yourself that will put that smile back on your face so you are able to get back out there the next day and keep on trucking. Thank you Mr. Worre

You gotta love MLM.. Because it really WORKS!

Eric, I agree with you on this topic! I applaud you for your dedication to do what you do. As I said in another post you couldn't pay me a million dollars to do it. I feel for you. That's the price of building globally with few leaders in those countries.

Now if it were me.... I would use technology to reach these people. A live video cast would work just as well. A weekly one with a question and answer period could prove to be very exciting and educational.

The question of the day..... how long will you keep this up??? Don't forget about the family & friends!!! <grin>

As my late mother said, you can't take the money with you!

Have a safe trip.

Paul

QOTD: We (my spous and me) had a trip to Perth, Australia, with a 48 hours stop in Singapore. That was very much okay! Back home we had a trip that took us around 26/27 hours from Perth, via Singapore, to Amsterdam. Exhausting but we are very glad we did this. Love Australia! But making a trip like this for fun is really different than for work.
Hope you had a good rest, Eric! And wishing you a fantastic time in Sidney.
Best regards
Stella Webber

Yes sir ... it is work. There is no easy ride to the top. Go get some rest -

Oh dear , 29 hours !
But like you said Mr Eric we have to keep going.
Regards

AMEN for this vid!
Straight from the heart, down to your face folks !!
THAT'S LIFE ! And sometimes LIFE does happen...
Thaks for this valuable lesson Eric.
QOTD: Imagine this:
You + 1 suitcase for 2 weeks of travel + 2 suitcases of jewellery you can NOT loose out of sight...
Venice Italy > Rome > Paris > Miami > miss your connection to Orlando > sit at the airport guarding your 2 jewelry cases in the middle of the night because there are NO hotels available > get on the waiting list for the 1st flight out of Miami in the morning > don't get on the 1st two > get on the 3rd to Orlando > arrive to your hotel and find out they DID give up your room even though you called from Miami and told them you are arriving one day late but WILL pay for your room > wander around Orlando in a limo in search for a hotel > finding at last a Motel at the edge of Orlando > fall on your bed finally > waking up afer 3 hours by a SHOOTOUT in your F#@%&G garden !!!!
All that in almost 49 hours ....
I prefer Network Marketing !!!

Longest door to door was 26 hours Vancouver - Los Angeles - Tokyo - Singapore!! Great Video... Sometimes Life sucks... and sometimes Network Marketing Sucks... But it's always better then the alternative.. so Chin up and Just Do It!! - I wil lretweet also..

You are so right Eric...some days....some weeks...it is just work...LOL But, I'd rather be working for myself than working for someone else...at least I can justify all of the blood, sweat and tears then because it is MINE and noone can take away what I learned and who I had to become to get through it all...

QOTD - 14 hours from Berlin to NYC after 1 week of virtually no sleep competing in the 1996 Culinary Olympics - reading the other comments...you guys have me beat by days ... LOL

Welcome back home Eric.

Longest door to door: 17 days - Los angeles to Hawaii by sailboat while nauseous (seasick) for 5 days and nights. It was like horrible motion sickness on the most radical carniveral ride, but not getting off for 5 days.

Way to tough it out big Kahuna.. You the Man !!

QOTD: Banning, CA to Dubai, UAE - 26 hrs. (plus 2 in Paris)

Awesome Video Eric and you are so right!! Be safe traveling!!
