Your attitude is going to be a major factor in your success or failure.
Most people take action based primarily on how they feel. Their emotions make them do some things and not others. Your true feelings about Xyngular® will have a huge impact on your success. How you feel about a lot of other things also comes into play.
Jim Rohn offers powerful insights into how our attitudes are formed and shaped. The following are a few of his major points.
1. How you feel about the past
All of us come to this business with our own unique past—failures, successes, relationships, disappointments, and experiences.
You can roll the past up like a newspaper and beat yourself over the head with it saying, "If only I had done this or that, my life would be better." You don't want to relive your past like this.
Treat your past like a school from which you can learn and become better. Just study your result and redirect your actions. Invest your experience and knowledge in the future. The past has given you an education no one can take from you. If it has been harsh, rejoice today; because, through that experience, you've become better prepared for the future.
2. How you feel about the future
The power to anticipate and work toward a future is an awesome force unique to the human race. That amazing ability is helping you right now to understand this article. You have the amazing ability to take inspiration and a well-designed future and invest time and energy to make it happen...but only because you can see it in your mind's eye.
The future holds a priceless treasure for you called "the promise." There is always a price to pay to achieve this promise, but the price will appear easier to you as the promise becomes stronger in your mind and belief. In other words, if you can create a strong and well-designed future, the price you have to pay will become easier. Any time you are struggling or discouraged, revisit the promise of your own future to help you become more willing to pay the price today.
On the other hand, if the promise is weak, the price becomes almost impossible to pay. If you can't see much meaning in your daily business habits, if they're not pulling you toward your own well-defined future, the price will become almost too great to bear. Only when you make your future and its pull on you sufficiently strong, will it carry you through the inevitable adversity you're sure to encounter.
3. How you feel about others
None of us can succeed alone. We need ideas, inspiration, strength, work and encouragement from others. We only become truly powerful when ALL of us understand how truly valuable EACH of us is. We also become much more powerful when EACH of us humbly understands how valuable ALL of us are.
4. How you feel about yourself
Understanding your own self worth is always the first step to accelerated progress. A philosopher once said, "When you see a man as he is, he only becomes worse. But when you see a man as he could be, he becomes what he should be." Look within yourself. What is your potential?
At Xyngular, we believe that the highest view of what you could be is what you should be. If you could be a leader, you should be one. If you have the capacity to help thousands of people reach their optimal weight, health and financial freedom, then you should help them do it. If you know you can change the health of millions, and you do nothing to move it forward, you are committing a crime by omission.
In the language of his "modern man," the German philosopher Rollo May says this, "I'm just a collection of mirrors, reflecting what everyone else expects of me." How sad, but how true for far too many. Decide not to allow other people's negative or low expectations of you to become a reality. You have to expect great things from yourself. The following high-impact quotes from Jim Rohn sums it up:
"The only limitation placed on our abilities is our inability to easily recognize our unlimited nature. It takes effort to become aware of our staggering and limitless abilities."
"It takes effort to learn to love ourselves...especially when we are so consciously aware of our failures, doubts, and tragedies. It does not, however, take effort to fail. It requires little else than a slowly deteriorating attitude about our present, our future, and about ourselves."
"It is ironic that one of the few things in this life over which we have total control is our own attitudes, and yet most of us live our entire life behaving as though we had no control whatsoever."
"By our attitude, we decide to read, or not to read. By our attitude, we decide to try or give up. By our attitude, we blame ourselves for our failure, or we foolishly blame others."
"Our attitude determines whether we love or hate, tell the truth or lie, act or procrastinate, advance or recede, and by our own attitude, we and we alone, actually decide whether to succeed or fail."
Jim Rohn, The Seasons of Life
ACTION STEPS:
1. Take your own personal attitude survey. Ask yourself how you feel about your past, your future, others, and yourself. Take the ideas of this article and write what modifications you may need to make to shape the attitude that will give you what you want out of Xyngular.
2.Read the 5 quotes from Jim Rohn at the end of the article one more time. How would you define your own "staggering and limitless abilities?"
3. Describe in your own words what effort it will take for you to polish up your attitude.

We had so much FUN on the 50K Getaway Cruise!
XYNG™ samples, fliers, business cards, and IGNITE™ brochures are tools you take everywhere so you're prepared to share whenever you strike up a conversation. A tool is like another voice, telling your contact that you have a real business backing you up.
But don't just leave a pile of fliers or business cards lying around. Whenever you hand off any tool, it's vitally important to put value on it before you give it to them. Otherwise they're not likely to read it. You'll get back to them, and they'll say, "I haven't looked at it yet." If you hear that, you'll know you haven't done your job giving your advertisement for the tool. You'll increase your odds tremendously if you put value on it.
Tell them something like this, "Because of what you have in your hand right now, in only a few months people on our team are making hundreds of dollars a month part-time. Some are making as much as $10 and $15k a month. And the same kind of thing is starting to happen for me as well. It's incredible. You need to take a look at it." It won't matter how much you're making right now. Maybe you only made $50 last month. But if you are following the Xyngular system, this will be happening for you.
But if you learn to tell your story that way, telling them that it's starting to happen for you like it is for others, then you won't have to explain exactly how much money you're making right now while you're building your own check stories. You'll never have to answer the question from your parents or your brother-in-law, "How much money are you making?" It will never come up.
Always point to a tool when you're talking to someone. Say, "because of what's in this little brochure, a friend of mine lost 100 pounds in 90 days. It's amazing. And I've been losing as much as 5 pounds a week."
When you place value on a tool, your odds are 3 to 5 times higher that they'll read it. If you follow up and they still haven't looked at it, give a similar story. Tell them that because of what they're going to read in that brochure or see on the Xyngular website, that same thing could happen to them.
XYNG samples make all the difference in some people's businesses because they're easy to give away, contacts feel obligated to try them, and then they feel obliged to respond to your call when you follow-up. It's far more likely to have someone enroll when they've been given a sample than it is when they've just had a phone call or a personal contact alone.
Again, make sure you give XYNG its own advertisement and follow-up, or it will just sit in the medicine cabinet for some long-forgotten day when it gets tossed. XYNG is such a compelling name and gets such quick results, that it's easy to remember how you felt when you first tried it. But be sure to follow up within the first day after you gave away the sample.
It's great to leave behind a tool when you're in a hurry. It gives you a reason to follow up and get them into a 3-way call. The urgency actually increases their curiosity in what you've given them. They're more likely to respond positively when you call.
ACTION STEPS:
1. Print off enough fliers from your back office to hand out 3 a day for a week. Order enough IGNITE brochures so you have plenty on hand. Order business cards. Order some extra XYNG to hand out as samples.
2. Practice your ad for the tools and samples you hand out. Then monitor the response when you call back. How many people read the brochure or went to the website. Change up your ad until you can maximize its effectiveness and help new Distributors with their ads as well.
What gets us off our couch, out of the bag of potato chips, and into fantastic Xyngular® momentum? Others. If we want our activities to start lining up with our dreams and desires...our WHY, then we want to get together with others who are also excited and have similar dreams and desires.
The first 72 hours
Your first 72 hours after you sponsor someone is critical, because if they don't start doing the things they need to do quickly to succeed, they'll start to feel like Xyngular won't work for them. They'll start to feel that they're not good enough. They'll start feeling guilty. Other things they have to do will start nagging at them, and they'll get distracted...then they'll give up.
Our brains start pulling us away when our body's aren't doing something that brings results.
We need to set each new Distributor on a serious course of action right away. We need to get them into a "Daily Method of Operation (DMO)." We need to get them to shut off the TV or online games and start going where their goals are. We need to get them into a goal and accountability process where they can physically see the numbers they're achieving and watch themselves make undeniable progress. If they see too many zeros on a sheet, they'll start to become frustrated. Their daily method of operation needs to be in alignment with their lifestyle, their values and their WHY.
If not they'll slip right back into less important but urgent things. The fire and passion will get smothered by thousands of small things.
It's not hard to make a contact list, get on scheduled 3-way calls with your sponsor, and start following a daily method of operation. But what's easy to do is also easy not to do. So we don't do the simple habits consistently that compound over time to make us successful.
That's why it's important for each new Distributor to get together with an accountability partner and call him or her every single day, especially at first, to find out what's happening and keep a 3-way call schedule. Don't use text or email for accountability. It's not motivating enough. Make at least a daily phone call.
What's toughest about tough homework is not doing any
Remember how you felt about homework in high school or college. Was it a necessary evil? Did you come to appreciate having done it when it came time for finals? At Xyngular the reason you want to give yourself and others some tough assignments is because you know how your life will change when you actually accomplish the assignments.
Your parents probably told you, "do the hard things in your life first, and your life will be easy. Do the easy things first, and your life will be hard." Because at Xyngular no one has a boss, we have to be our own boss, our own parents, and help each other get into those daily methods of operation. And it has to be done so we don't get stressed out and have fun doing it. For most people that requires doing things together…as a team. There is power in the word, "let's." "Let's go do it," is much more powerful than "you go do it."
The most successful teams at Xyngular understand this principle. They understand that if they don't have group goals, and team accountability their momentum will flounder. Watch any sports movie and you'll understand. People on any team will work harder for a group goal than they will for a goal they set all by themselves. They'll do more together than they'll do alone. This is a powerful concept. It's important to get your team together and get a consensus on goals. It's important that they be inspiring and ambitious yet realistic.
Here's the final lesson...human beings will do far more with each other than they'll ever do alone. Setting up teams like this throughout your large organization will have the power to propel your income and theirs in an amazing way. Sending them or even yourself off to go it alone will lead to frustration, distraction, confusion, guilt, and resentment.
ACTION STEPS:
1. List all the "one-team-one-dream" activities that are already scheduled at Xyngular and are part of the culture...conference calls, team meetings, eat 'n' cheat parties, 3-ways, morning shows, etc. Evaluate which ones do the best job for keeping you and your team motivated.
2. If you see the need, set additional team goal-setting and accountability systems up to help everyone stay motivated.
3. Whenever you sponsor someone, get their goals, their "why," their assignments, and an accountability system with them right away. Plug them into to the best team activities you have available.

When we get right down to our "why" for doing Xyngular®, when we make our dream board or our vision board, there are many things we can cut out and paste in place. But there one category of things that belong on our board that usually trumps them all. In our enthusiasm for paying off debt, having a little extra spending money, or making that car payment, let's not forget the most heart-felt reasons for all our hard work.
If someone were to tell you they wanted to grow their Xyngular business so they could afford a new car, you might want to ask them, "how would your spouse or your family feel about that car?" When we've asked that question, and they start to think about it deeply, we've often seen tears come to their eyes. We realize that the true "why" is not the car. It's the reason behind the car. It's something for the kids...a better life for them. It's a spouse's respect. It's that they want a "family business" to call their own. These are the heart-felt whys that usually come up if you search deeply enough.
Your Xyngular business is about family
Here's an old saying that never grows old, "There are many treasures, but the greatest of these is love." A small apartment where love is is better than a mansion where there is loneliness. Relationships with those we love must be cultivated like a garden. It takes time, effort, imagination, and creativity to keep our most important relationships flourishing and growing.
We all need to nourish the kinds of relationships on our way up that will stick with us on our way down, because life is full of ups and downs. True relationships insulate us from the devastation of the downs.
Here's a good question for us to ask about our strongest relationships: If we were put in jail and falsely accused, who would we call? Why? How much would this friend spend to get us out of jail? How long would he or she try to get us out? As long as it takes?
How do we develop and nourish such dedicated, devoted relationships? We do it with service and sacrifice. We spend the time. We listen.
That's why Xyngular is such a great business...because it thrives on building relationships. We can't gather much wealth in this business without also developing the wealth of caring relationships. This business requires a sizable investment of our lives in other people...discovering their true needs and filling them. Fortunately for us we get to choose the people we want to work with...and they get to choose us. That makes us all so much better and happier. So give a little extra measure of love today. Remember, love is most often spelled T-I-M-E.
ACTION STEPS:
1. Take a moment to re-evaluate "why" you're growing your Xyngular business. Answer the question, "how would it impact my loved ones if I really succeeded at this business?" Could you truthfully say that you're doing this business for one of these reasons: (1) To give my children chances for a better life, (2) to improve the respect I get from my spouse or significant other, or (3) to create a "family business for those I love.
2. Take a quick inventory of your relationships. What small things could you do today to nurture and grow your most important relationships? How could you schedule these into your busy life?

Xyngular Corporate leaders and Distributors have just returned from a life-changing 7 day Caribbean cruise. Oh, did we mention the cruise was paid for by Xyngular through our revolutionary Passport Program? It was truly an epic event, and we're excited to recap it in the upcoming ConneXions!
"The opening social is always a fun event on the 50K Getaway," said Xyngular President Marc Walker. "Our Distributors are so excited to have earned this free trip, and there is so much energy and enthusiasm. This cruise was no different, with Cynthia Evans and Stan Townsend starting the cruise off on the right foot with their awesome stories."
"Stan told us how excited he is about the growth in his organization but that he is even more excited about the quality of the leaders in his organization. He said 2012 will be a great year but that it will only be the beginning of what Xyngular is going to do!"
"To hear Cynthia talk about how in November 2010, she set a goal to have 100 autoships on her front line was so great," said Xyngular COO Glen Oliver. "Cynthia qualified for the Executive Bonus in November, grew 32% in January, and hit 100,000 GV in February by the 9th day of the month. It is just astounding!"
"I had the chance to go on the 50K Getaway for the second time, and it was every bit as great as the first," said Cynthia. "It was like bring with my friends and family. It's so fun to get to know our Corporate leaders and their wives, and I really appreciate the one-on-one time I get with them. It brings such a personal element to Xyngular. When I spoke at the opening social, I just encouraged everyone to set goals, sponsor wide, and go for it! This is a company where everyone can make money and everyone can succeed, and the cruise was a perfect example of it."
Xyngular's Passport Program was created to reward Distributors above and beyond cash payouts, and it builds unity and friendships that can't be created in any other way. That, said Marc Walker, is what makes these trips so enjoyable.
"We call Xyngular the 'One Team, One Dream' family," Marc said, "and on events like this, it really does feel like we're all united and working together to create and build something incredible."
Watch for future ConneXions to hear highlights and see photos of the cruise's stops in Haiti, Jamaica, and Cozumel!

Our conference calls, our twice-weekly ConneXions, and our many get-togethers are all extremely important in our success at Xyngular®. Whether we're in an exciting positive period in our business or a discouraging downturn, the articles and calls are an essential part of keeping us on the path to our goals and dreams. We need to listen to training calls and read the ConneXion articles in times of great success so we can make sure our excitement doesn't take us off the proven tracks of our business. We need to listen and read in the down times so we can identify the principles we may have drifted away from that may have caused our downturn.
Stephen Covey tells us that we all have to think like pilots. Pilots are off course a large percentage of the time and are forced to constantly make little course corrections. This training is designed to help you make these course corrections and warn you against major distractions that could take you completely off course and ruin your business. For that reason, we all have to go through the fundamentals of success in this business many times.
It's sad that most of us get our formal education when we are so young and immature. We could go to the best schools and get some of the best training in the world, but we don't appreciate it or use it to its full power because we don't have much experience. Most of us get a lot more out of on-the-job training as we come up against challenges in actual work situations.
We don't usually learn some things from our introductory Xyngular training until we are failing and discouraged. Then we listen to the next training call or read an article in the ConneXion and recognize the need to adjust ourselves to the key fundamentals of success.
So even though we may think we understand what we are learning the first time through, we need to listen over and over and read over and over to recognize the key fundamentals we miss the first time through because of lack of experience. We'll listen in on a familiar conference call and say to ourselves, "I don't remember hearing that before." It's because our experience changes and opens us up.
The fastest way to learn the fundamentals of success at Xyngular is to follow a process called PLAN-DO-REVIEW. High-energy people get excited when they first get started at Xyngular. They're eager to earn a lot of money quickly, they have great goals and high standards, and that's good. But bright, quick learners too often give our training calls and our ConneXion articles a quick glance or a one-time listen-in and say to themselves, "I already know that stuff. I'm not going to waste my time with it." Then all they do is do and do and do and do without stopping to review and then plan.
We all need to make ConneXions and conference calls a habit, not a single event. To maximize our training and our excitement with Xyngular over time, we need to constantly review and perfect what we are doing. We can only make money in this business if we are on a constant search to become better and better at what we do. That's what keeps us excited and growing and attracts others to the team.
ACTION STEPS:
1. Schedule time twice a week to read through your ConneXions. Read the Action Steps and do what makes the most sense for you and your team.
2. Even if you can't be on the live calls every week, carve out time to listen to the recorded calls so you keep that excitement you always hear on the calls churning in your brain. If you miss one week, you'll notice a difference. If you miss two weeks, your team will notice. If you miss more than that, everyone will begin to notice that you're not as plugged in to your business as you used to be.
3. Share what you hear and read with others and add your own excitement and enthusiasm to it. Apply at least a few of the Action Steps from the ConneXions every week. They only become effective in your business if they are shared and applied. Otherwise they're merely "nice reading" or "motivational rah rah."

I really didn't have a lot of weight to lose. I play handball every day and drop between 3 and 7 lbs. on the court every day. At 62, I am very proud of that. I owe most of it to good nutrition through juicing and supplementation. I have been designing diets for over 30 years. CORE4™ changed my life. I didn't have to eat like a rabbit and my puffed stomach was gone dropping an inch and a half off my waist in 4 days . I was able to quit my 2 full-time jobs and trade in the dress shirt and tie for flip flops and Tommy Bahamas shirts. I call it pajama marketing. A cell phone, a laptop, a hammock, and a good signal. Mix that in with honesty and birds of a feather and you have an enormous family. Thanks to my Xyngular® family including customer Care—you are the backbone! I cannot thank you all enough. You have rewarded me beyond most people's wildest dreams.
