The photo to me was an exercise in perception.   Quick, What’s your first thought?

Is the guy diving into a pool of money or face down drowning in one?

Mine was “Diving”, it’s why I chose that particular photo.  Only later when someone said “looks like he drowned”, did the other perception occur to me.  Pool half-empty or half-fool?  Ok, done playing with words, because the rest of this post is critically important.

Help 2, build 2, can you do that?

Why is that important? It’s important because studies show the average network marketing associate sponsors just over 2 people.

So we developed a compensation plan around something the average person is totally capable of, finding 2 people. Then help those two people also be, just average.

And I’m not joking here, those are the real world numbers so it makes perfect sense that we can be successful if we work with what people already do. Which is exactly what we’ve done.

First, when you choose to become a Club Sea Breeze Associate and you also choose to buy a Club Sea Breeze Membership, you now have a product that will pay for itself 1x, 2x, maybe even 3x+ in savings the very first time you use it! So even if you do nothing, you’ll have a lifetime of memories and savings.

But that’s you being less than average. So if you are just average and help 2 build 2, you’ll have your two qualifiers and you will eventually cycle your matrix and receive your personal over ride bonus of $250 or $500.

Not only that they have their qualifiers too and when they cycle and each time they cycle, you, their sponsor will get the sponsor over ride bonus of $250.

That’s just for being average.

Now you can choose to be a little more or a lot more than just average and help more 2′s build 2′s and start cycling, more often for the personal over ride of $250 or $500, and you will have more associates also cycling more often getting you the $250 sponsor over ride bonus each time.

How often? Once in a month? 2x, 3x, once a week, how about daily? 10 associates cycling twice a month is $5000 in the sponsor over ride bonus alone and that is completely passive income, meaning you’re not doing a whole lot more to create that income.

And there are yet more “tweaks” to our compensation plan making it the most powerful plan because you can be less than average and still be way ahead.  You can be average and make a little money.  Or you can reach a level of excellence you never before thought possible.

There are only 15 days until we flip the switch and go live. Right now we are beta testing the compensation plan programming and the very first commissions will likely be generated next week.

Pre-enroll now so that you can be in that initial wave of enrollments come April 2^nd and start cycling and earning commissions from the start!

Get with me, lets build your success NOW.

Ok, in About Us I promised to explain this photo of Tanya.

It’s September 2nd, 2009 and she has just arrived from Ukraine, she’ll be visiting me and working for my partner in Ukraine and while she’s here experiencing some of what Colorado has to offer.

So she got in to Denver about 10 pm, after 19 hours of travel, contending with the 9 hour time difference and I got her up at 4:30 am to go Dove hunting at our farm in eastern Colorado.

It’s a wonder she could smile, but that’s Tanya, she’s a rare gem.  A day earlier she was a city girl amidst the hustle and bustle of Ukraine’s 2nd largest city, Kharkiv and the next?  A shotgun toting, cigar smoking, country girl having a great time with two of my buddies and our dog (Titan).

First time shooting a shotgun, first cigar (Cohiba–the occasion merits a good cigar), first time out in our Eastern plains which looks a lot like the steppe that comprises much of her home country, but nothing like the city.

This day and really every day, she was/is great company and why?  Well one reason is her fantastic attitude, she’s going to do what it takes to have fun, learn, widen her experience.  And her attitude also helps her succeed in her work as well where I’ve seen and experienced her doing what it takes to succeed.  And much of that starts from her great attitude.

Whether it is white water rafting, soaring through the tree tops of Southwestern Colorado on zip lines, flyfishing the Roaring Fork, ballroom dancing, a jazz club, Rockies game, family dinner, the theater, or just a lazy afternoon with me and our dog, time and again, it’s Tanya’s great attitude that has helped create so many wonderful memories.

There is that saying about how your attitude in life will determine your altitude in life and Tanya is a great example of this.  The point really is what it takes to have fun or to succeed is largely due to your attitude.  As another friend of mine is fond of saying, “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you are already correct–success is a choice”.

And I am proud and honored and very happy she is with me, helping serve many people as we help build their success and prosperity through our business.  We hope you’ll join us so we can share future experiences with you.

The Club Sea Breeze “tag-line” is “…the winds of change”.  Now, only 2&1/2 weeks from the official pre-launch date, the winds are kicking up.

A reader just commented on the “Moving Right Along” post and this is a significant update so I decided to recreate my response in a new post  here so it would be more visible to all.

So, here’s the latest. Club Sea Breeze, through its Advisory Board and Founding Associates has enlisted some leaders to beta test both the membership and associate sites.

First the Membership site, for the purpose of gathering some testimonials about the travel product in addition to testing the site and search engine. This was initiated about 2 weeks ago and several beta testing members have taken trips and more have booked trips. And all are very pleased with the pricing. The quality of the accommodations remains to be seen, and there are going to be some very excited and detailed testimonials for the travel product when CSB launches in about 2 and a half more weeks.

Secondly, we just turned in some additional forms for the associate site on Friday and expect the next round of beta testing to happen in about a week where we’ll start placing people into matrices, testing the compensation plan programming and people will start cycling and earning commissions. This will give the system about a week’s worth of actual field testing before flipping the switch company wide for the pre-launch.   So that in addition to the membership/product testimonials there can be some associate/business testimonials as well.

It’s an exciting time and a there’s going to be some incredible success and a lot of momentum created for the pre-launch. Opt-in to learn more and find out how you can be a part of this excitement and not just a spectator.

And here I want to say that as excited as I am personally to be part of this early group of beta testers and we will experience substantial success, the compensation plan, as incredibly powerful as it is, has also been put together so that someone getting in next week or during pre-launch, even next year and beyond actually has a bona-fide opportunity to succeed.

It’s human nature to believe that being first you will have greater success, in the case of Club Sea Breeze, being in at the beginning will prove a great decision, but some of the most successful associates have yet to even hear about CSB, because the comp plan truly rewards your effort more than your timing.

Of course that said, who wouldn’t want to be successful now?  Yours is just an opt-in and a conversation away.

Let’s build your success and prosperity.

If you are a current network marketer or have ever been involved into network marketing have you had a few questions and frustrations?

Right now, today, if you were face to face with your downline what would you see in their eyes, gratitude, happiness and confidence or confusion, frustration, ambivalence?

If your sponsor were to look into your eyes what would they see?

Given that the average networker sponsors between 2.3 and 2.6 people in any given opportunity, I already know the answers to those questions for most of us.  And btw, how do you sponsor .3 or .6 people?  I’m not sure either, but we all have them or are them, the .3 or .6 of a person—whether that is from a lack of motivation, desire, understanding, whatever, it’s very common to only be partially invested into something.  Of course, that isn’t what that statistic is referring to, but it easily could.  I know I’ve been there.

An interesting dichotomy, in an industry that succeeds and thrives on optimism and positivity, that as a group we’re a bunch of skeptics.  Don’t think you are?  Think about it, when you answer the phone and hear a voice with just a hint of anxiousness do you “open” or “close” just a bit?  Do the questions start flooding into your mind, I wonder what this person wants, what are they selling, how do I get off…

We are skeptical, our guards are up or go up easily and for good reason, participate in this industry for any length of time and probably, you’ll get burned. (no I’m only a closet skeptic, not a cynic).

The reality is that good, well-intentioned people can get fooled, that’s exactly what happened to us in TVI-Express.  It’s almost worse when that happens because we’ve gotten our friends and family involved and our credibility is at risk or in that case damaged—No one wants that.  And afterwards, we’re even more skeptical about other opportunities.  To the point where some people choose to not participate into any opportunity.  You can’t get burned that way.

While that is one solution, sadly those people are then stuck inside the life and lifestyle they saw they could escape when they first or last considered network marketing.

Look, the reason network marketing is exploding is because it is the most efficient way to bring products to the market.  This is now the “Age of Recommendation” and we’re on the cusp of a giant wave of growth.

You capitalize on this wave by finding the right opportunity.  Just once, would you like to be involved into an opportunity that gave a real chance to the average networker and even the less than average networker?  I know I do.  And that is exactly what you’ll find with CSB, opt-in to learn more.

Let’s build your success and prosperity.

BULLSEYE! This just in, eZine Articles just approved and published my latest Five Essentials Reviews/Article.   Wohooo! After what I went through to ultimately have the TVI Review REJECTED, it definitely was a nail-biter all day waiting and watching as “my baby” progressed through the different levels of review and was ultimately, ACCEPTED!

It sure is pleasant to receive an email that says:

Hello Kurt,

Your article, “LGN Prosperity – A Five Essentials Review and Due Diligence For LGN” – has been accepted and published on EzineArticles.com:

http://EzineArticles.com/?id=3907895

Ok, bear with me, in a very roundabout way I’m trying to make a point.  I was reflecting upon the Olympics in Vancouver and of all the incredible accomplishments and while it’s difficult to just pick one, there were a few that really stood out for me.

One night I sat with my Dad and watched the mens relay in short track skating, which just looks like 5+ minutes of total mayhem and chaos.  Talk about exciting, WOW!  Most moments in sports last seconds, this is 5+ minutes of, edge of your seat, chew on your nails, clenched butt cheeks.  It was exhausting to watch and too much fun.  And imagine how many people around the world, rooting for their team were having a similar experience.  20 skaters, round and round that little track.  Looks chaotic, but there’s order there.  It’s a stretch, but to me it mirrors real life, everyone moving fast as they can in circles in some kind of choreographed chaos, but with effort, focus and teamwork,  something truly special can be achieved.

As they always do, there were human interest and background stories on the athletes and one of these in particular stood out.  Steven Holcomb, the driver of American Bobsled Team 1 and the story was about his deteriorating sight.  He was going blind, had an experimental surgery and recovered perfect eyesight.  So instead of a career ending event, he was able to continue his quest, and now with perfect eyesight, which for someone driving 90+ mph down a track of ice, pulling multiple G’s in turns would be critical–you would think.  In his interview he said it was actually a detriment, so he purposefully scratched up his visor so he could see less, but “feel” more.  This got me to thinking about how it is so often in life and business that which we think we see clearly can lead us off-course and the importance of our instincts in both seeing and feeling our way.

And lastly, my favorite, Petter Northug or Norway, the anchor in the mens 4 x 10km cross-country relay.  When he got the exchange to ski his leg, the final 10km of the relay, he and his team were 37 seconds behind the leaders, a pack of three skiers that had jumped out front and were so far out in front that they looked to be the medalists–just a question of which color.  Petter would literally have to ski 4 seconds faster per kilometer to catch them, against the best the world has to offer in his sport.  Oh the drama!  Right before the eventual gold medalist from Sweden decided to breakaway from the lead pack, there was a view of them and far in the background, but miraculously now in the picture, was Petter, amazing.

In the last kilometer Petter skied past the two to win silver, unbelievable.  There were three parts to this race, first when he was so far behind and the sight of the daunting task ahead.  Second, the focus and effort he made to bring the two skiers ahead into his own view and third, the continued focus and effort, but also how the inevitability of the outcome just seemed to welcome him.

Here, to me the analogies to life and business are many-fold.  But these three steps are a good illustration.  First, the dream you have and the task ahead.  Secondly, applying your focused and consistent effort within a plan or system.  And then how the outcome,  the fruition of your dream is attracted and welcomed and just seems to inevitably unfold before you.

Well,  I did say it would be roundabout.  But I hope you at least enjoyed hearing of these special moments and I would love to hear if you have some that stood out in your mind.  And if some of this “resonates” with you, please do check out the rest of Be Free Faster and Club Sea Breeze.

Hi All!

Great news, last night  the  “Membership Site” for CSB was revealed and now you can actually check out the deals available and see how they can save you tons on your next vacation.  First a couple of important distinctions:

#1 there will be totally and completely separate sites for CSB Members and CSB Associates, this is part of what makes us one of the very few compliant network marketing companies out there.  And because there is incredible value in the membership, i.e. the product (and this is just part of our product suite) there will be demand for the product alone aside from the income opportunity that can be, but does not necessarily have to be attached to the product.  Again, a compliance issue that many overlook–Not CSB.

#2 Yes, these in many instances are Time Share Properties, however, the distinction is that when you take your week, booked with your CSB membership, you won’t have to sit thru any high pressure sales meetings to secure your rate.  If you read the fine print on that search engine you can google and find a rate on, with some of them you are required to sit thru a presentation to get that killer rate.

Finding a great place takes some digging.  Find it on the site then “Google” the resort and get reviews, more photos, and contact the resort and get their pricing for the week you are interested in, then come back and make your comparison.  And be forewarned, there is an inventory of over 5000 properties worldwide, and availability and pricing changes daily, even hourly so a property that shows up today, might not tomorrow or it might be more or less expensive.

Ok, so ready?  To test drive the CSB booking portal go to:  CSB Booking Portal (www.clubseabreezeweeks.com) use the public option to see what kinds of properties are available.  When you’re ready to see some pricing, contact me and I’ll give you a tour of my membership site.  In February we could provide some public access, but it seems some of our deals are so good, it can cause a problem if that information is publicly available.

The search engine is real time.  The drop down list is geographical and please also note that all-inclusive properties are indicated and the rate quoted is ONLY for the condo, the fee for the all-inclusive portion is indicated and is addtiional.

I found a really interesting Catamaran Week in the Caribbean for $399 where you sail 2 hours after breakfast and 2 hours after lunch, spending each night anchored off some island, 5 state rooms with private baths (4 for guests and 1 for crew), it is all inclusive so that portion is extra, but all told, it’d be about $1500 for a week sailing in the Caribbean which would include all meals and drinks, etc.

I think she’ll enjoy this kind of vacation.

You know, this is starting to really get exciting as we get nearer our pre-launch and the pieces of our foundation keep getting placed.  Contact me if you have any trouble accessing the site or searching.  The portal is extremely user friendly and it’s really a lot of fun to see the different places in the world you can go.

Exciting news tonight, CSB is going into Phase II of pre-enrollment.  So what’s that mean?  It means you still have time to pre-enroll with no cost and no obligation, but you have even more to get excited about.  Hurry while there’s still time to just to raise your hand and say “I’m in”!  Visit here to get more information, www.clubseabreeze.info and then make sure you contact me so that I can get you pre-enrolled.  Why is that so critical?  Because I can show you how we’re going to get going before 98% of the rest, but you’ll have to contact me to get it all explained.

You won’t be charged until the membership and associate sites are ready and if you want to also become an associate your annual fee won’t be charged until the associate site goes live.

What it also means if you still have about  a month to pre-build your team and will be able to see exactly what kind of payday you’ll enjoy for putting in some work now.  And if you need more info, check out this review on ezine articles:  Club Sea Breeze-A Five Essentials Review

Folks, this is truly ground floor and the ground is firming up.  We pre-launch April 2nd, 2010.  If you start now, you’ll be able to secure your position, build your team and reap huge benefits as we launch–it’s going to be truly amazing.

To your success,

Kurt

Hey, if a picture is worth a thousand words, how much for a 30 second video?  Pre-enroll and I’ll show you!

Club Sea Breeze-Gotta See It!

On the other hand you could rack up some major Valentine’s points for 30 minutes work on animoto.  C’mon, they deserve it, you’re not that easy to love.

In  retrospect, and just like any great thing in life, I could trace how I got here back, back, back in time, but it’s the same old lessons, fail more than you  succeed, but keep getting up, keep taking another bite at that elephant, another swing at that curve ball life is continually serving up.

And then I could tell how the decisions and experiences of the past have prepared me, paved the way to the opportunity of the present and the promise of the future and that too would be correct, but again nothing spectacularly new  or even exciting.

And that’s really it,  I got here, just like many of you and though we can be and are in various stages in our separate lives, we are nevertheless here, right now.  And I believe for a reason.  I’m not really proud of this (though I am thrilled I survived) but I have done enough crazy things to know I’ve been spared serious injury or worse for a reason and I’m committed to making good on that promise of life, of happiness, of joy and sharing it with as many people as possible.  How cool is that?  Very cool, I think.

But I seriously digress.  I got started in both Club Sea Breeze (CSB) and LGN-Prosperity (LGN) because I saw an opportunity for crazy, stupid, sick, insane, unbelievable you pick the adjective, MONEY!  I mean,<$350 once, turn that into $500, $777 or multiples thereof  by involving 2 or 6 people and have that turn into $500 or $777 on a monthly, even weekly, daily or even, several times daily?  C’mon…pyramid, scam, impossible, too good to be true, where’s the catch right?

The catch seems to be, apparently is, YOU HAVE TO GET IN!  Yes, that’s right.  It is absolutely impossible, can’t be done, if you don’t get started.  You know, there will always be an excuse, oh excuse me, a “reason ” for not doing this or any other something, pick one, stick with it, guaranteed it will work.

And take that “reason”, place it in a box, come back in a month, is there $500 there, how about $777? No, hmmmm maybe it needs more time, so go ahead, put it back and come back in 2 months.  Is there now $500 or $777 or multiples thereof in there?  Am I being silly?

Actually this is me being really serious.   The point is $299-349 is not an impossible sum of money to  risk on something that has proven again and again to return this kind of money.  The point is (and come to my house and I’ll show you), the point is you, me, we have spent that sum of money and more on stuff  collecting dust around our homes.  Btw, anyone need an “Ab-dominator”?

Ok, so I got started because I saw the potential of the compensation plan, but also because I saw the promise of the concept in CSB where unrelated businesses are working, cooperating together to create success in one another’s business.  Now you tell me, where does that happen in normal business?  And while you try and figure that out another month may pass and oh, did I forget to mention that your original investment keeps earning you $500 or $777  commissions, usually on a much quicker cycle?

Hmmmm, right about now I think you at least owe it to yourself and your future to  take a look.  Go ahead and complete the opt in box on this or any other pages of this site and at least get your curiosity assuaged.

Next time I’ll share more on the mechanics of how I got started, when, what happened, more.  See you then…
