It's in your best interest to read this entire post. There's lots of JUICY stuff.
Founders Club and Done-For-You Business Building
First of all, as you know, Don and I have been offering a “DONE FOR YOU” package for those of you that go “All-In” in your business.
Basically, we do EVERYTHING you require to set up your business, analyze where you are in your growth and learning curve, and offer personal mentoring so that you shorten your learning curve, make money faster, etc.
That deal that Don and I have been offering to you guys will officially go away… FOREVER.. on Sunday.
This is in addition to the announcement of an Empower Network Founder's Club. Please watch Tony Rush's video above for a quick explanation of who is eligible for Empower Network's Founder's Club.
Click on Tony's nose above to watch the video expaining the Founder's Club. This offer is ONLY for anyone that chooses to go “All -In” and purchase all the core products before Sunday.
Founder's Club will be an elite group… join us. 🙂
BUT… IT STILL IS GREAT – YOUR SECOND-BEST CHOICE
Since Empower will be giving aggressive discounts to NEW people that join from Monday forward, if they go “All-In”… if you haven't fully committed to your business by going “All In” yet….
Beginning as soon as Empower launches the discounts (probably MONDAY), for three days (72 hours), you will have the opportunity to get ALL-IN for the SAME DISCOUNT that all new affiliates will enjoy…
$2997 – For ALL OF OUR CORE PRODUCTS – 72 HOURS ONLY
THAT'S A $2128 DISCOUNT.
If you dilly-dally (don't you just love that word?), for the next 4 days, the price goes up $1000 to…
$3997 – THAT'S A $1128 DISCOUNT
It's your choice. This is your ONE TIME OPPORTUNITY.
After that 7-day window, you will have to purchase all the products for FULL RETAIL.
This is an amazing opportunity for any of you that haven't completely committed yet to your business and fully capitalized your business with all the products.
CHANGE OF PASS-UP SCHEDULE
FYI… it's not a big deal, but the pass-up schedule has made a little change in the order of pass ups. Instead of passing up the first 2nd,4th and 6th sales, from NOW forward, everyone will pass up the 1st, 3rd and 5th sale (and every 5th sale after that.)
NEXT WEEK
Watch your email and Empower Network feed for webinars and info that will support you in making more sales than you have ever made before..
That probably sounds a bit weird coming from me, Karla Silver, the “poster child” for good old fashioned hard work… but I mean it.
You’re probably working too hard for the results you’re getting.
And today I’m going to explain why. Plus, I’m going to show you the secret to succeeding in your life and your business.
I’m not one for B.S., so I don’t use the word “secret” lightly. In the next few minutes, I’m going to reveal what this secret is and how you can use it to supercharge the growth of your life and your finances.
I’m going to show you how to put your progress on the fast lane. This is not over-blown hype. I’m deadly serious.
But first, a word of warning…
I’m going to CHALLENGE YOU.
You will have to GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE and into the…
“NO EXCUSE ZONE.”
That’s right. As of NOW, you have NO EXCUSES. None.
And I mean that. NONE. ZERO. ZIP. ZILTCH. NADA.
What you’re about to discover is extremely powerful. But it does come with a few “challenges or opportunities” you should know about. There’s one in particular that I want to tell you about before we go further.
What I have to show you today is going to remove the biggest obstacle that keeps people from being successful in anything they do.
When this obstacle is gone, there really are no more excuses standing between you and your success.
Believe it or not, this scares a lot of people to death.
The reason is simple:
Making excuses provides comfort. Making excuses helps your mind rationalize any fear you have for not playing the game with everything you’ve got.
When you make the decision to stop making excuses in your business and your life, it brings you face to face with yourself… very quickly.
Some people can’t handle that. Some people can’t handle being 100% responsible for what does or does not happen in their lives.
If you’re one of those people who is simply not ready to live life with zero excuses, then what I have to show you today is probably not for you and might scare the hell out of you.
No harm, no foul, it probably just won’t be a good fit.
Ready to take a HUGE LEAP FORWARD?
“I attribute my success to this – I never gave or took any
excuse.” ― Florence Nightingale
If you are prepared to banish the excuses from your vocabulary and are ready to focus on making huge progress in your business AND YOUR LIFE, then read on…
From today on, you can NEVER say…
“I can’t…”
Whatever you put after “I can’t…” is NOT ACCEPTABLE.
You CAN, or you can FIND A WAY.
Hey, I catch myself making excuses all the time – especially when I’m learning something new, developing a new habit, or reluctant to make a change (even though I ‘want’ to make that change) in my life.
Pay attention. You make excuses every day that allow you to stay in your comfort zone.
Have you ever said, “I can’t afford…”
Have you ever thought, “I can’t because…”
Have you ever not done something because you can’t….
Let me tell you that YOU CAN.
Tell that voice in your head to shut up and get out, because there’s a new voice that… CAN.
Lastly, beware of the subliminal power of the word, “can’t.”
When we use the phrase, “I can’t” as an excuse, we send a negative, limiting message to our own nervous system. In our conscious mind, it may just be an excuse, but to our subconscious it sends a message about our abilities or inabilities. Telling yourself repeatedly that you can’t do this, and can’t do that, will have you believing that you can’t do much of anything after a while
Stop buying your own excuses, they are too expensive.
It's probably simpler than you think. Too many people confuse their “purpose” with their “mission.” It's not about what you DO – it's about the mindset you use to approach every moment.
In this (short) five-minute video, a very cool (and smart guy), Brian Johnson, distills the wisdom of some of the greatest spiritual teachers throughout history… And explains why each and every one of us has just one purpose in life: connecting with our highest source of power.
Both Don and I love personal development, so we're always reading books or listening to uplifting video's and audios.
Brian is a prolific entrepreneur and philosopher with a knack for founding multi-million dollar web businesses. But, like us, he's a…
seeker of knowledge – a learner.
So a few years ago, he sold his bussinesses, moved to Bali and brought all the books that he had been meaning to read for years.
He read HUNDREDS of the greatest personal development books of all time.
He's become someone that I consider a Philosopher.
Watch the video and let me know what you think!
What would the highest version of you do in this moment?
Are you feeling happy about where you are in your life right now?
When you were a kid, did you want to grow up to be an astronaut, a singer or an engineer? If so, how’s that working out for you? Hopefully, it’s going great and you are living the life of your dreams. But for the rest of you who are not, here are 13 signs that you might be wasting your life… but you don’t want to admit it:
1. You spend too much time doing things you shouldn’t be doing.
Video games. Reality TV. Surfing the ‘net. Stuffing your face with too much food. Drinking too much. And the list goes on. Take a serious look at your life. Where are you spending the majority of your time? And does it serve you well? Is it leading to a better life? Is it laying the foundation for a bright future? If not, then you need to reevaluate your routine activities and make changes.
2. You find yourself complaining a lot.
I know people who are constantly overwhelmed with life, and they never cease to tell me. Are you one of those people? Do you complain about your job, your boss, your salary, your neighbors or your spouse? If you do, then you are doing nothing but exuding negative energy. Negativity doesn’t change things. It keeps you stuck. So change your thoughts and talk about what you appreciate about your life, not what you don’t like.
3. You don’t feed your mind.
If you’re not continually growing and learning as a person, then you are stagnant – just like a still pond that doesn’t move and grows green gunk on it. That’s what your mind does if you don’t keep it active and learn new things. Positive challenges in your life will expand your mind, not send it backwards.
4. You have a lot of negative self-talk.
Self-talk can make or break your life. As Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can, or think you can’t… either way, you’re right.” If you tell yourself that you’re not smart enough to get that promotion or start a business, then you’re right. If you tell yourself you’re too exhausted to put effort into changing your life, then you’re right. Whatever you tell yourself becomes your reality. So closely monitor what you say to yourself, because you will find that your life matches your thoughts.
5. You feel uninspired.
Do you have a passion for anything? I know a lot of people who think they don’t have a passion. But that’s never the case. There has to be something that you enjoy doing. So you need to rediscover what excites you, and then do more of it.
6. You don’t plan for your future.
While it’s always great to live in the “now” and “be in the moment,” sometimes you need to look ahead to see where you want to go. If you don’t have a goal or a plan, then you are like a boat that is wandering aimlessly in the ocean hoping to end up somewhere good. But you can’t do that. You have to make a step-by-step guide to get where you want to go. Just like a GPS gets you to a destination, you need your own inner GPS to guide you.
7. You spend too much time with people who don’t contribute to your growth.
It’s easy to get stuck hanging out with people who are not making you feel like a better person. But if you keep doing that, then you will stay stagnant or get pulled down with them. I like to call them “Energy Vampires.” They suck the life out of you and give you nothing positive in return. Instead, go find growth-oriented people to be around.
8. You’re addicted to your phone.
Sure, cell phones are super cool gadgets that can leave us entranced when we use them. While that’s fun, think about all the time you are wasting with your phone. Even worse, think about all the relationships that might be affected. Maybe you’re texting or searching the internet while you’re having dinner with your spouse or kids. If you are, you’re missing out on meaningful time you can spend with your loved ones – or time you could devote to making a plan for your future.
9. You spend money on things that don’t matter.
There is a difference between a “need” and a “want.” I’m sure we all learned that in kindergarten. However, in today’s society, we have blurred the lines quite a bit (see #8… the cell phone). In fact, I know people who can’t pay their mortgage, but still have the fanciest gadgets on the planet. If you stop to think about it, there is very little that we actually need. Food, water, shelter and love are some of those things. All the rest are just bonuses. So look at what you’re spending your money on and see if you can make adjustments. Maybe you can use the money you save to invest in your future.
10. You don’t get enough sleep.
I’m not a medical doctor, but I have read enough books to know how vitally important sleep is. I could write 20 pages on it. But I obviously don’t have enough room in this short article. Sleep is crucial for good health. If you’re too busy to get enough sleep or if you simply have a bad habit of staying up until the wee hours of the morning, you should re-evaluate your habits.
11. You’re not taking care of your body.
Not only is sleep essential to your health, so is food and exercise. I know I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know. But eating a balanced, healthy diet and moving your body around truly does have more positive effects other than weight loss. It affects your mental attitude and overall well-being. So take a look at your diet and level of activity. You might find that making a few small changes will greatly improve your life.
12. You don’t leave your comfort zone.
I know how easy it is to live in a comfort zone. In fact, when I go to a familiar restaurant, I always order the same thing. Not because I’m afraid to try something new, but because I like the food I normally order. But that’s not the kind of comfort zone I’m talking about. I’m talking about taking a risk that will improve your life. And keep in mind, there is a difference between a “risk” and a “calculated risk.” Any risk has the possibility to be deadly, but a calculated risk is one in which you’ve weighed all options and thus come up with a good, sensible plan of action.
13. You’re living a life you don’t like.
The way I measure success is by someone’s level of happiness. Are you happy? If not, then you should change something! Even a feeling of contentment or satisfaction doesn’t tell you that you’re living life to the fullest. Life should be exciting! So if you’re not enjoying life, take a look at some of the changes you can make to get you to a better place.
If any of these 13 points sounded like you, don’t despair. You can make changes. But the first change you need to make is getting rid of the idea that you can’t do it. Many times, your biggest obstacle is your own thought process. So start there. Change your thinking – then change your life!

It's music, music and more music here in the Coachella Valley for the next ten days as “Coachella” is staging it's annual appearance here.
Palm Springs is chock-a-block-loaded with celebrities and the big-wigs from the music world, all partying like the rock stars that they are. (Last night, alongside of the headliners, was a reunion of Outkast, and surprise appearances by Jay-Z, Prince, Gwen Stefani, Beyonce, P Diddy (or whatever he calls himself these days) and many more.
You might be wondering, however… what is Coachella? Coachella is actually an abbrevieation for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, which is named after a city near us here in Riverside County, CA. The festival takes place over two three-day weekends.
The festival is HUGE and is considered to be a more sober and more organized version of Woodstock.
But, here's the reason why I'm writing this post. I hear from people every. single. day about how horrible the economy is, and how broke they are, and how there's no way out. Blah, blah, blah.
Here are some numbers to consider.
– Almost 200,000 tickets were sold for Coachella over the next two weeks.
– General Admission (cheap seats) costs $375 – per weekend
– VIP Tickets cost $799 – per weekend
– Parking $150 – per weekend
– If you want to attend and stay in a TENT – $2900 – $4700 – per weekend
– You want to stay in a hotel, the average hotel here is $300+ – per night
– PLUS, you have to eat.
– PLUS travel expenses.
I don't know what the average person spends on attending this event, but it's not cheap. It's gotta be in the thousands and thousands. Moreover, the event sold out in 20 minutes this year.
People from every age group attend, but the average age is between 20-30-ish.
Here's what I see. I see LOTS of people that can easily afford to drop a couple thousand dollars, minimum to attend what is basically a long concert.
I don't say this to be mean, or condescending, or judgemental, but are YOU in a position to spend at least a few thousand dollars on something you want to do?
You better be. Because if you aren't, you aren't living the life you were meant to live.
If you can't afford to take your kids to Disney World for a week. WHY NOT? If you can't afford to invest in your own education to learn how to get out of your financial rut, WHY NOT? If you can't afford to spend some money just to have fun, then there is something seriously wrong with your financial situation.
Hey, we've been there. And it sucked.
We decided to do something about it. It's time for you too.
You are meant to live a life of abundance and fun.
