Dyer stresses the importance of choosing the right company. “It’s critical to look into the background of the individuals involved; make sure the people know what they’re doing. Take it for a test drive. Kick the tires.” When Gordon Morton—XanGo’s president of sales and marketing and Dwayne’s long-time friend and business associate—called Dyer to ask for his help in launching the product, Dyer told him it wasn’t a good time. Morton persuaded Dwayne to fly to Utah and see for himself. Dwayne saw for himself, and joined the team. He never looked back. “You don’t want to take a risk with a company that won’t make it… I trusted the six founders [of XanGo] would do the right thing. If I was going to put my life blood into it, I had to know I could trust them.”

Dyer has seen XanGo’s product and compensation plan have a positive effect on the health and financial well-being of people all over the world. XanGo’s compensation plan is what Dwayne calls a “perfect partnership with the field”; a 50% split. For every dollar that comes in, the worker gets half—Even Steven.

Another aspect of XanGo that appeals to Dyer is that they participate in various charities at the global, national, and community level. From distinguishing itself as the biggest contributor to Operation Smile, to funding new flooring, wall coverings, and seats at the 75-year-old Scera art house theater in Orem, Utah, XanGo is accomplishing things that Dyer feels he and other distributors can be proud of. While the concept of “giving back” is not new, it show both the people associated with XanGo, and the communities in which we serve, that XanGo is committed to their well being.

Dyer and other top leaders speak about personal beliefs as key ingredients in the success of this business or others like it. While perseverance can help you navigate through many obstacles, it is the true belief in your cause, products, people and dreams that allow you to move mountains. In the 1965 David Joseph Schwartz book ‘The Magic of Thinking Big’, the first chapter is entitled ‘Believe You Can Succeed and You Will’. In this chapter readers learn the fundamental process that Dyer and others truly believe to be the difference.

This difference is much more than what most people try, which is WISHING or HOPING, both of which occur without action. The book notes “There is nothing magical or mystical about the power of belief. Belief works this way; the “I’m-positive, I-can attitude, are what generate the power, skill, and energy needed to do. When you believe ‘I-can-do-it’, the how-to do-it develops.” All top leaders talk directly to this point, believing and then taking action through that belief will allow you to achieve. Dyer emphasizes the W.O.R.K. required in Network Marketing, but all the while he demonstrates what the company has done to make the WORK efficient and effective.

On the XanGo horizon, Dwayne Dyer looks forward to doubling the number of distributors and countries in which their products are currently available —the result would be an impressive 2 million distributors in 44 countries. He’s particularly excited about bringing the value of XanGo to countries where people are really hungry for an opportunity to succeed.

“If you’ll work like crazy for 90 days, you too can make it work.” The hardest part is getting past Day 1, which is not the first day in the business… it is the first day you actually work in the business, they are not the SAME.

If you were building a company and doing the typical resume review, you would be hard pressed to find someone who has achieved as much as Dwayne Dyer has. As a distinguished powerhouse salesman, co-founder of two nutritional supplement companies, and author of several educational materials for network marketers, resumes like Dyer’s typically precede themselves.

Dwayne Dyer has been engaged within the global community throughout his career. Dyer began his association with the network marketing industry as Director of International Operations at Nature’s Sunshine Products in 1987. Dyer went on to serve as VP of International Sales and Marketing for Enrich International, Executive Director of Sales and Marketing for European Operations at Excel Communications, and National Sales Director for Shaklee Corporation. In short, he’s worn a lot of hats, carried a lot of influence, and seen a lot of success.

Dyer was attracted to network marketing because he noticed a lot of people with lesser education achieving greater success by taking the right opportunities at the right time. When Dwayne began sharing the XanGo opportunity, he focused on the three main components that convinced him that XanGo was the right opportunity at the right time: the founders, the product, and the compensation plan. These are the same selling points which he’s sharing with others today.

We asked Dwayne about the key ingredients to success for Network Marketing or Multi Level Marketing as many refer to it now. Dyer tells us that he educates people about the industry. “Not all MLM companies make it, and very few are a SURE thing.” He worries that many people will just get involved in the latest company, trend, or craze. His concern has nothing with them NOT joining his group. “I have become less worried about people who do nothing and more about people who work really hard in a company that has no ability to stick around long term!” Since he has been with XanGo, he has been approached by over 400 ‘Next Big Thing’ companies, all of whom do not exist today.

Additionally, Dyer told us there are certain things that have to be present for people to consider these companies and products as viable opportunities. They have to have solid management teams, they have to have proper funding, they have to have a manufacturing strategy for growth, they have to have products that really work, they have to have state-of-art software packages that manage and track all customers, representatives and proper commissions and finally, at minimum, they must have a marketing plan and compensation plan that are equitable, fun and reward the right behaviors. Most importantly, they have to have people who are willing to WORK!

Tomorrow Dwayne explains why in his opinion what it takes to make it…

Healthy Coffee International, Inc. (Pink Sheets:HCFI) announced that the company has completed a 1 for 10,000 reverse split of its common shares. As a result of the reverse split, the company is issuing 1 common share for each 10,000 shares held on the effective date of June 20, 2008. Upon completion of this reverse split the company now has a total of 362,340 outstanding common shares and total float of 218,807 shares. The terms of the split will require all shareholders to turn in a physical certificate in order to receive their new shares. As a result of this restructuring the company has also been assigned the new trading symbol HCFI.PK (the previous symbol was HCFE.PK).

In response to this announcement the Company’s CEO Rick Aguiluz commented, “We believe that this reverse split will provide immediate important benefits to our shareholders. The movement to a significantly smaller number of traded shares will allow us to better service our shareholders and at the same time signal to the marketplace that we are positioning ourselves as a company worthy of serious consideration as we prepare to move out of our developmental stage and into our marketing and expansion mode. The timing of this restructuring is reflective of the steady progress of our fund-raising efforts, and coincides with finalization and receipt of our first four product formulas, new marketing launches in Japan, Philippines, Colombia, Chile, Sweden, New Zealand, Australia and Romania, and the official pre-launch of our international marketing campaign in June, 2008. We are very excited about the future of our company, and look forward to making additional important announcements in the coming weeks and months.”

Having been around reverse-splits in the past, I am not 100% sure this is a good sign for the company. To give you an example of a stock split:

Take, for example, a company with 100 shares of stock priced at $50 per share. The market capitalization is 100 × $50, or $5000. The company splits its stock 2-for-1. There are now 200 shares of stock and each shareholder holds twice as many shares. The price of each share is adjusted to $25. The market capitalization is 200 × $25 = $5000, the same as before the split.

While there is no further dilution in the stock, anytime micro-cap stocks split, it is usually a sign that they have raised a bunch of money (which just means the dilution already occurred) or that they are trying to make themselves more attractive to a larger pool of investors in an effort to get the stock price higher. It also potentially means the stock valuation prior to the split was not attractive to a large enough group of investors.

Dietary Supplement maker Mannatech has just launched a tour across the US where company leaders will visit their associates and potential distributors to discuss the future of the company and building their businesses.

The tour, which will be called the “Whistle Stop Tour,” will travel across 10 cities. Mannatech’s new President, and CEO Wayne Badovinus, will be on the tour meeting the company’s distributors and discuss with them the company and its products. In turn, the distributors will get a chance to meet company leaders and learn more about the products and how to be a successful distributor. Of course in true Mannatech form, the website has no information on the Tour.

“The fuel to drive our growth is energy, enthusiasm, dedication, integrity, action - and most of all - passion. We know it all starts with our valuable team of independent Associates,” said Badovinus. “We all have the opportunity to turn weakness from the past into strengths for the future. Mannatech is a new company - we are moving forward and not looking back.”

Mannatech hopes to provide the tour will bring awareness of the company and promote it as a great way to earn supplemental company, especially during these rough economic times.

The tour will make 10 stops through the end of October. The Whistle Stop Tour will make stops in Lubbock, Texas, Medford Oregon, Branson, Missouri, Seattle, Chicago, Ft Lauderdale, Omaha and Two stops in Canada. The highlight of the tour will be a two day stop in Denver during which hundreds of current associate and new prospects will have a chance to discuss the company, its products and opportunities with Badovinus.

Maybe on the tour they will come across some people who can help them with their dreaded website. Love the company but it amazes me that their site is so bad! Their other site - Explore Mannatech - is so much better than the corporate one. They should ditch the corp one for the Explore one.
