(Just want to share this ’cause it’s so applicable to our biz)

As we head into the final stretch of this incredible journey, I want to offer you one final gift. It’s one of my greatest strategies for creating extraordinary success, and now–if you choose– it can be your success strategy, as well.
Regardless of your experience, skill level, or even the quality of your competition, with enough time, the following principle will allow you to win at almost everything, every time!

In fact, the only thing that can stop you now from accomplishing all the goals you have set is not utilizing this principle…. And that is the No. 1 reason why incredibly talented, intensely motivated people fail to attain what they want in life.

I used to get frustrated when I would start a new venture and I’d see the competition leap out in front and get off to a fast and successful start. Then I found the single discipline that gives me the advantage to beat anybody at almost anything—CONSISTENCY.

A lot of people become gung-ho about new goals or achievements, and they charge out of the gate in an explosion of activity—but their intensity and commitment quickly fizzle. Meanwhile, those who begin the journey with less flash but a greater commitment to consistency eventually catch up to their flamboyant peers and leave them in the dust. Do what most people don’t: Stay consistent.

Lack of consistency is the subtle stealer of dreams. The stop and start process kills progress in any pursuit. In fact, inconsistency is one of the biggest reasons people don’t achieve their goals, and instead end up living a life of frustration and disappointment.

When you start thinking about slacking off on your action plan, routines and rhythms, consider the massive cost of inconsistency. It is not the loss of the single action and the tiny results it creates; it is the utter collapse and loss of momentum your entire progress will suffer.

Zig Ziglar uses the analogy of a hand-pumped water well. The water table is 25 feet below the ground. A pipe runs down to the water table, and you have to pump the lever to create the suction that brings the water above the ground and out of the spout.

When most people start a new endeavor, they grab the lever and start pumping really hard, they are excited, committed and resolute…. They pump and pump and pump, and after a few minutes (or a few weeks), when they don’t see any water (results), they give up pumping the lever altogether.

The first few people they showed the product to didn’t buy. After two weeks on their new health plan, they haven’t lost one pound. They didn’t meet anyone at the first two networking events they attended.

People expect instant results, and when they don’t see progress, they quit… before success has a chance to show itself. Wise people continue to pump.

If they persevere and continue to pump and pump the lever, eventually a few drops of water will appear. At this point, a lot of people say, “You’ve got to be kidding! All this pumping, and for what? A few drops of water? Forget it!”

Eight weeks of working out at the gym, and they don’t look like a Victoria’s Secret or Calvin Klein underwear model. They didn’t make $10,000 their first 90 days in their new business. Again, they don’t see the results they were expecting. They think their plan isn’t working, and they quit. But the wise person persists.

If you continue to pump, eventually, you will get a full and steady stream of water. Congratulations, success!
But here’s the real secret…
Once the water is flowing, you no longer need to pump the lever as hard or as quickly. It’s easy to keep the pressure steady by just pumping the lever CONSISTENTLY.

Now, what happens if you let go of the lever for too long? The water falls back down into the ground, and you’re back to square one. If you come back and pump the lever easily and steadily, you still won’t get any water. You have lost the vacuum, or the momentum of your compounded effort. The only way to get the water flowing again is to pump the lever really hard all over again.

The problem with most people’s lives is that they work really hard to get the water flowing and then take a break. Wham-o! They have to pump like crazy again just to get back to even. Living life in a constant state of fits and starts is frustrating and demoralizing.

People start up a routine of making 10 new prospecting calls a day, strike a little gold, and then don’t dial for a couple of weeks. People get excited about their new “date night” routine with their spouse, but in a few weeks, it’s back to Netflix and microwave popcorn on the couch Friday nights. I see people buy a new book, sign up for a new program or seminar and go like crazy for a couple of weeks or months. Then they stop and end up right back where they started—sound familiar?

Consistency is one of the most important principles of success.

Here are a few ways lack of consistency can negatively impact your life…
If you miss a couple weeks of workouts, or affectionate gestures to your wife, or slack off on your prospecting routine, you don’t just lose the results those two weeks could have produced. If that is all you lost, not much damage would be done. What people don’t realize is that by breaking their rhythm, they kill Mo (Momentum)—and that is the real tragedy. The cost to revive momentum is an enormous amount of time, energy and effort—not to advance, but to get back to where you started.

Committing to the principle of applying consistent effort to your goals will forever alter how you (could) live your life. One moment of inconsistency, a single poor choice, temporary inaction, a brief lapse of discipline doesn’t simply result in the loss of that one action—it breaks your momentum. Your Mo has left the building.
It’s not how you or your competition start; it’s how you continue. If you stay consistent, even slowly (the tortoise), ultimately, you will beat the most talented of competitors (the hare). CONSISTENCY is why the tortoise beats the hare every time.

At the start of this program, I gave you this all-important axiom, your key to the obtainment of any goal, dream or desire you can envision: Commitment is doing the thing you said you were going to do, long after the mood you said it in has left you.
Suggestion: Strategize how you will keep your commitment and consistency steadfast. Ask your friends, family, boss, co-workers, gym mates or mentor to help remind you and push you forward. Set a series of appointments with yourself to keep you on track with what you need to be doing– regularly. Publish your Weekly Rhythm Register on your refrigerator, bathroom mirror, on the wall at the office, or on your blog. Design ways to continually herd yourself back into the rhythms, routines and disciplines you need to stay consistent on in order to accomplish your big goals.

Empowering Filipinos Through Innovative Technology

Trinoma, Quezon City -- Business enthusiasts line up for membership in a new innovative business idea. Vmobile Technologies Inc. provides franchising opportunities to each people, with a very low investment, but has the will to become successful in distributing their services.

The Phillippines has been cited to be the texting-center of the world. No wonder they do, because according to statistics RP currently has 60 million cellphone users of which 95% are prepaid. According to Mobile Data Association (MDA), the country alone sends on the average 400 million text messages a day, more than the annual average SMS volume of the countries in Europe, and even China and India. After that we are also expecting another 15 million cellphone users by next year. A very wide market for a lot of giant companies such as Globe, Smart and Sun to dwell upon.

But this booming industry has also been a home for some innovative entrepreneurs to think of ideas that provide better for the market. Vmobile Technologies Inc. provides that idea with the Loadxtreme program.

LoadXtreme is the first and revolutionary way in prepaid products distribution and marketing. This program utilizes the proprietary technology established in June 2003 known as Universal Prepaid Loading System or UPLoadS. This proven platform offers 24/7 access to multi-brand prepaid products and services nationwide utilizing automated Short Messaging Service (SMS) and Internet to receive and fulfill orders for prepaid top-up PINs.

LoadXtreme also revolutionizes electronic reloading or Over-The-Air loading for wireless telephony by providing a unified fully-automated electronic load dispensing facility for Smart Buddy e-Load, Globe AutoloadMax and SUN Expressload. With LoadXtreme, you can retail electronic top-up loads using any mobile phone without the need for any special retailer SIM!

In May 2008, LoadXtreme was absorbed and operated by VMobile Technologies Incorporated (VMOBILE). VMobile is the e-commerce arm of PENTA Capital Management Corporation.

Under Penta Capital’s guidance, VMobile is poised to fulfill its vision: To provide business opportunity to people by employing technology as the means of empowerment.

The company currently has 7400 franchisees and 17500 retailers from all over the country and also overseas. With a minimal capital of P4,000, an entrepreneur can already distribute retailer cards that can be registered via cellphone or internet to be able to sell prepaid loads to all networks plus other products such as prepaid loads to online games, MRT Axs, LBC Padala and a lot more.

As a franchisee, he/she is given a lot of opportunities to earn money:

1. Direct Selling - As a franchisee he can also sell prepaid loads (up to 280 products)and gain 10-11% profit
2. Fast Track Program - Comes with the franchise package are 20 retailer cards, which cost P300 each. Selling them would usually be easy and of course, you get your ROI. Franchisees can go beyond 20 and sign up more retailers and have P150 profit. Retailers also can sign up other possible retailers in which they get P40.
3. Franchise Retail Override - The franchisee earns 2% sales override from his/her retailers. Retailers signed up by the other retailers are also subject to the override.
4. Franchise Partnership program - Franchisees get P500 for every successful sale of franchise package that has been referred by them. (Probably the easiest way to earn, because of the demand)
5. Team Sales Bonus - For every match for the Franchisee's team A and B downlines, he/she get P500 Sales Bonus.

All of the Load Sales transactions are recorded and kept at Loadxtreme.ph and marketing bonuses, downlines and Cash outs are managed at mylx.biz. With this very efficient way of paying out to its Franchisees and the market demand for more prepaid loaders is what makes Vmobile business very attractive to entrepreneurs.

Iris dela Cruz (left), 21. Have accumulated profit of over P90,000 for only a couple of months. She says, the companies' idea has truly marginalized the usual products offered by other Multi-Level Marketing Companies. "Hindi mo na kailangan pang imarket and load, Here in the Phil. it's a need to have load everyday", says dela Cruz.

More and more Franchisees are coming from different provinces here in the Philippines. Old Loadxtreme under Portal can also convert their past accounts into Vmobile. Our target is to provide Vmobile opportunity to other places outside Metro Manila. Another true Filipino innovation has been again offered to the pleading market, the only thing missing are distributors.
