The Mental Fitness Challenge

Living the Life You've Always Wanted

The Mental Fitness Challenge: We’ve all heard about physical fitness programs since time immemorial. Nearly everyone has a product or program designed to help people get and maintain their fitness. Some of these are quite excellent. However, our physical condition is subservient to our mental condition. In other words, in life, to get and stay physically fit, one must ultimately become mentally fit. This applies in all the categories in which we live out our lives, such as finances, relationships, and the like. If we are not thinking correctly in these areas, aka “mentally fit,” then we will not have any real sustainable fitness in those areas.

Enter the Mental Fitness Challenge. Designed around the 13 resolutions put forth in Orrin Woodward’s best selling book, RESOLVED: 13 Resolutions for LIFE, the Mental Fitness Program helps people live the life they’ve always wanted to live. This is accomplished the way adults learn and grow – not through expensive conferences in tropical locations, or danger simulations and artificial adventures, or even high-priced concert/seminars with public figures – but rather through small, incremental, daily steps implemented according to timeless principles, as explained in Orrin’s book.  After all, it’s the formation of new habits that brings lasting change, and this begins with exercising the mind and becoming mentally fit.

Just as a physical diet requires the elimination of bad foods and the increasing of the consumption of nutritious foods, so too does a mental fitness diet. With the Mental Fitness Challenge, participants are encouraged to begin bringing in small, daily doses of mentally nutritious information.  At the same time, participants are encouraged to eliminate much of the bad information, or “junk food for the mind” that is often so thoughtlessly allow in.

Additionally, when learning something new, it is helpful to set goals, track progress, and receive encouragement from others.  All this and more is structured into the process of the Mental Fitness Challenge. To begin, participants will be able to take a Self Assessment Test, in which they will establish a baseline for their life in each of the 13 resolutions. Also, if desired, 360 degree feedback can also be obtained through the same test, in which others can take the test on the participant’s behalf and have their opinion anonymously displayed.

There are many other features of the Mental Fitness Challenge, including audio, reading, and video training. More details can be found here.

The Mental Fitness Challenge: Challenge yourself to live the life you’ve always wanted!

Sincerely,

Life Compensation Plan

Posted on April 18, 2012 | 10 comments

When the LIFE company was established, one of the primary goals of its founders was to accomplish something in the area of compensation that hadn’t been done before. The heart behind this was to offer financial rewards that would truly be based upon performance.  But there was more.  It was also desired to put a heavy emphasis on revenue sharing with the field – this is “corporate speak” for not letting the company keep most of the profits.  While many (but certainly not all!) pay plans appear to be at least somewhat fair in terms of how the money is split amongst participants in the field, what often is NOT fair is how much money finds it way back to the corporation. The result is a subtle but real conflict of interest between the company and its field operators.  Therefore, right off the bat, LIFE designed its financial plan in such a way that most of its profits flow to the people who are actually doing the work to make the revenue happen in the first place. Right out of the gate, the percentage of gross revenue paid back to the field in commissions was structured to be in the (estimated) 65+% range.  This, as far as we know, is an industry high. Then, after just two months in business, LIFE announced its One Time Cash Award program, which put even more money into the field. It is still too soon to know the exact figures (as some of the qualification periods for these rewards don’t end until the end of 2012), but we believe this will put the percentage at something approaching 70%.

How can this be done? How can a group of founders establish a company on such lean terms? The answer comes from the strong belief that the best leadership for this type of company can be provided by those who are actually doing what they are teaching and expecting others to do.  THIS, as far as we know, has never been done before: corporate founders who deliberately establish the financial incentives in such a way as to keep themselves in the game, out in the trenches, and thereby providing the means by which most of the profits flow to the field.

And now there’s more.  On April 27th, at the Spring Leadership Convention in Columbus, Ohio, LIFE will announce  an additional incentive program representing even more new money being put into the compensation program. This will be a reward package that will be attractive to new participants and attainable early in their experience with the business – in other words, something they can qualify for in the near-term, not “someday.”

All of this, in the LIFE compensation plan, is in addition to LIFE’s groundbreaking position between the four industries of Personal Development, Home-based Businesses, Life coaching, and Community building, and takes advantage of LIFE’s high-value position in the market of personal development materials, wherein its products are among the lowest priced in the marketplace (in some cases hundreds of percent cheaper than its competition).  And, don’t forget, all of LIFE’s products are backed with a 30 day money back guarantee.

When LIFE founder Orrin Woodward says, “We don’t promise easy, but we do promise worth it!” the LIFE founders have done their best to structure a compensation plan and reward system that shows his statement to be much more than mere rhetoric.

I hope this helps!

Sincerely,

Chris Brady

LIFE Off to a Fast Start

Posted on April 5, 2012 | 3 comments

On November 1, 2011, the LIFE business was launched into a niche between four major trends.  Those trends are 1) Home-based Businesses, 2) Life Coaching, 3) Personal Development, and 4) Community. In an article posted yesterday, LIFE founder Orrin Woodward delineated the ways in which the LIFE business is fulfilling the objectives that were set for it.  You see, there are good and bad parts to each of those four trends when considered by themselves.  What the founders of LIFE wanted to do was to take the best of each and combine them together, leaving the worst of each behind.  So far, this model has proven to be a good one, and the results speak for themselves.  Consider the following points taken from Orrin’s article:

5. The LIFE Business Compensation Plan is rewarding people at unprecedented levels. With 95% of the people receiving a check monthly, LIFE is fair, equitable, and affordable to even the most strained of pocketbooks. LIFE is about receiving an opportunity, not a handout. One must work to win at anything, but the goal of the LIFE founders was to ensure that real work receives real rewards quickly.

6. LIFE is rapidly closing in on 4,000 customers! That’s 4,000 people choosing to purchase LIFE materials with no thought of further compensation. The LIFE founders studied the industry and refused to move forward unless they had a product that was in demand at the retail price in the marketplace. With almost a 1,000 new customers a month, I think the task was accomplished.

There is something right about a company that offers a legitimate opportunity for financial advancement.  There is something right about a company that has a low cost of entry, pays strictly upon performance, and allows people to pursue their dreams together.  And the list goes on.  People are coming to grips with the fact that LIFE is something new, that it truly is a “fix” for the disadvantageous parts of each of the four trends listed above, and that it is a real chance for them to experience success in multiple areas of their lives.

However: LIFE is not for those who want a guaranteed existence, an easy paycheck, or a special deal.  It is also not for those who assume they already know everything, have no need for personal growth and improvement, and think they are just fine the way they are.  LIFE is for those who have a burning desire inside to achieve, to advance, to contribute, to become their best, and to make a difference.  As Orrin Woodward says, “We don’t promise easy.  But we DO promise ‘worth it!'” In just its first five months, LIFE has already proven that to be true!
