THE TIME IS NOW...

 

YOU CAN MAKE

A REAL DIFFERENCE!

 

 

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

-- Margaret Mead  

 

 

 

Dear Friend,

 

I’m so glad you're reading this message because I'm hoping that

you really want to help make a difference.

 

As you know, the challenges we are facing in our society

are truly monumental, and getting worse:

  • From degenerative diseases to obesity and diabetes;

  • From pollution to species extinctions to global warming;

  • From skyrocketing debts and increased cost of living to
    economic uncertainty;

  • From the breakdown of relationships at home, within our
    communities, and internationally...

All of these trends are interfering with our day-to-day well-being

and our peace of mind.

 

And they are getting even worse... much worse in the just the

last few years.

 

 

NOW IS THE TIME

 

We can no longer afford to let these trends continue.

 

Now is the time for us to get involved and make a difference.

 

Now is the time for us to stand up for what we believe in.

 

And you can help.

 

This letter will explain what the real problems are and how you can

get involved and make a difference.

 

So read on....

 

 

MOST PEOPLE MEAN WELL

 

Most people I've talked to really would like to do something

about these problems. 

 

Some are even passionate about it.

 

So I'm betting you would like to help make a difference too.

 

Is that right about you?

 

If it is, keep reading, because I'm about to show you

something that can help you do just that.

 

BUT...

 

But you might think, like I often have, that these problems are

just too big for any one person to do anything about.

 

And you'd be right!

 

And you might think, like I have in the past, that "I'm just

too busy with my own little day-to-day problems to worry about

things on that scale."

 

And maybe that's true too.

 

Unless you personally are suffering from one or more of these

crises, the fact that so many other people are suffering

can seem somewhat far removed from own our

day-to-day experiences and concerns.

 

However, these problems are so pervasive, that I'm betting,

if you think about it, that one or more of these problems are

affecting you or those you care about on an increasing

or even daily basis.

 

 

MOST PEOPLE WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

 

The truth is that most people really want to feel inspired, to believe in

and to work on something that is truly important. 

 

But they either don't believe it is really possible for them, or

they don't know how.

 

 

Oprah Winfrey said it this way:

"We live in the greatest country, with the most generous people. And I know this for sure: People really want to help, and often they just don’t know what to do."

  

 

 

THE REAL PROBLEM

 

The fact that the problems are big is NOT the real problem.

 

The real problem is that people will give up and do nothing

because they think...

 

        "the problem is just too big."

 

And when people give up and do nothing, nothing happens...

and the problems just keep getting bigger and bigger...

 

and bigger...

 

 

 

THE PROBLEMS KEEP GETTING WORSE

 

 

People continue getting sicker, no matter how much more

we spend on medical care.

 

Did you know?

  • We are now spending over $2 TRILLION every year on "health care" (which is really the treatment of sickness) - that's over $6000 per person per year in this country - and we're still getting sicker.

  • Two-thirds of our population are now overweight, even though we are spending $58 billion on "diets" every year.

  • Experts predict that children born today will the first generation in history that will have a shorter life expectancy than their parents.

 

 

 

 

People continue to harm the environment, using products that pollute,

produced by companies that engage in deforestation, endangering

species and contributing to global warming.

 

 

Did you know?

  • 25% of ALL the Arctic's ice has melted in the last 10 years.

  • Scientists predict that 50% of all species currently on planet earth will be extinct by 2050.

  • Planet Earth currently has a deficit of about 700 million trees.

  • Many cleaning products sold today pollute lakes & streams, killing fish and other wildlife - and the EPA reports that 40 percent of the nation's waterways too polluted for swimming or fishing.

 

 

 

 

More people continue to struggle to pay their bills and manage

increasing debts (from credit cards to pending foreclosures), all

while global competition and outsourcing threatens their livelihoods.

 

 

Did you know?

  • In 1984, the national savings rate was 10.8%.

  • In 2001, it was 1.8%

  • In 2003, it was 1.4%

  • In 2005, it was MINUS 0.5% 

(The savings rate has only been negative for a full year twice before, in 1932 and 1933, when Americans were struggling with huge job layoffs during the Great Depression.)

  • In 2006, it was MINUS 1%

  • Foreclosures and bankruptcies are soaring again while homeowner equity has decreased nearly 20% in the last 20 years.

  • Even the U.S. Government seems to have given up trying to control its own spending, deficits and debt and has resorted to printing money to keep the bubble from bursting.  (The dollar is getting weaker and the cost of living, including food & energy prices, is increasing at upwards of 10% per year.)

 

 

 

 

And all this stress contributes to the breakdown of communication

and relationships, both at home and abroad, and violence breaks out

when people blame each other for a state of affairs they feel

unable to do anything about.

 

 

Did you know?

  • SUICIDE is the fastest growing killer of young people in America.  Six out of 10 teenagers in high school think about it.  One out of 10 tries it.

  • More than 50% of all marriages end in divorce.

  • The number of people killed in wars in the last 100 years is greater than the number killed in all the wars of mankind's history prior to that.  And the number of conflicts doesn't seem to be decreasing any.

 

 

 

 

When people give up, all of these problems continue to escalate,

more and more people suffer - and our very society as we know it

is threatened.

 

 

 

A SHORT JOKE:

    'I DON'T KNOW' and 'I DON'T CARE'

 

There is a story of a man who was walking down the street

and stopped to ask a passer-by a question.

 

He asked "What's the difference between ignorance and apathy?"

 

The stranger kept right on walking and said...

 

"I don't know and I don't care."

 

Was the stranger answering the question or did he not want

to be bothered?

 

Some people don't realize how bad these problems are

really getting, and because of this they don't seem to care. 

They are simply too busy trying to "get by" to get involved.

 

 

 

NOW THAT YOU KNOW...

 

If you didn't realize the extent of the problems, NOW YOU KNOW.

 

And I'm here to challenge the notion that there is nothing that

we can do.

 

But, we must all get involved.

 

We must all do our part.

 

To address these challenges (and they MUST be addressed),

we must pull together and work on these problems as

a community, DOING WHAT WE CAN, little by little.

 

Together we can all make a bigger difference than we think.

 

That’s why I'm on a mission.

 

(Did you know that I’m on a mission?)

 

That’s right!

 

I’m on a mission to encourage people to get off their butts,

stop being apathetic (which itself is part of the problem),

and start getting involved in being a part of the solution. 

 

 

 

WE MUST TAKE ACTION NOW

 

We can only address these huge problems by

getting involved ourselves (by setting a good example),

and by helping to get others involved in focusing on

the solutions.

 

That’s why I’m setting out to help people and the planet by

building a team of inspired leaders (and everyday folks)

who are dedicated to helping people improve their health,

their environment, their finances and their relationships.

 

Because when we have a team that is working together, we can

all get so much more done than we can working individually.

 

And we so desperately need to get this done. 

 

The future of our society and of our very planet depends on it

(not to mention our own happiness and well-being).

 

But we can only get it done when EACH of us does our part!

 

 

 

THERE IS HOPE

 

People need hope & inspiration, and to know that their problems

are solvable.

 

 

WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

 

When you think about the many dramatic changes that

have happened in our culture in just the last couple hundred years

or so, all of them are a result of people taking a stand and

getting other people involved.

 

Every day people, making a new choice and standing up

for what they believe in, and telling others to do the same.

 

 

Consider these recent cultural changes...

  • RELIGIOUS FREEDOM, HUMAN RIGHTS, SLAVERY... the right
    to be free of oppression.

  • EQUALITY FOR MINORITIES (WOMEN, ETHNIC, GAYS & LESBIANS...) the right of all people to be recognized as having value, and to be treated as equals.

  • And in the last 30 years, even SMOKING has gone from a
    cultural norm, to a virtual taboo in many parts of the country.

 

 

All of these movements are simply the result of individuals standing up

banding together to fight for what they believe in.

 

We know many of these individuals names because they stood up

for what they believed in and therefore have had a positive

impact on our history.  Here are just a few:

 

Galileo

Thomas Jefferson

Abraham Lincoln

Susan B. Anthony

Thomas Edison

Henry Ford

Mahatma Gandhi

Norma Parks

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Nelson Mandela

 

 

And there are many hundreds of thousands of others, less well known,

that also got involved.

 

And because individuals took a stand, made different decisions and

influenced others, people became more conscious of the consequences

of their actions, they encouraged others to do the same,

and they began to change the culture.

 

 

Oprah Winfrey also said:

"Everyone on this planet has a calling, they just have to find out what it is."

 

 

 

HOW YOU CAN HELP

 

That’s why I’m asking you to help – to get involved by taking

a very small step and helping me leverage that small effort

into making a very BIG difference.

 

The very small step that I’m asking you for is to help me

let people know about

  • what we are doing to make a difference, and how they
    can participate, and

  • what kind of a personal difference getting involved
    can make in their own lives.

 

You can do this by reading this letter in its entirety, checking

out what I am suggesting, and forwarding this to others.

 

It's is about the power of PASSING THE WORD and

PAYING IT FORWARD.

 

 

 

NOT A JOKE

 

As you probably know, people are always passing on jokes and silly

"you'll get good luck if you pass this on to 10 friends by midnight

tonight - and bad luck if you don't" emails to their friends. 

 

This is one of those rare opportunities to pass along something

that really IS important and really can make a difference. 

 

But it is up to you to let everyone you know see that

they can make an incredible difference in our collective

futures.

 

If you do nothing, nothing will happen and these devastating trends

will continue to accelerate, and we will all have to pay the price.

(And if you look at the stats, you can see that the day of

reckoning is much closer than any of us thought.)

 

But if you get involved and help spread the word, we as a group

can make a much bigger difference than we can imagine.

 

 

 

IT'S WORKED FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS

 

For thousands of years, people have spread news and

stories via word of mouth. 

 

In today's technological society, no matter how much is

spent on high-tech marketing, word of mouth advertising

is still the most effective way to get the word out.

 

And that is the way making a difference in these critical

areas is going to have to work.

 

We can't rely on our leaders to do it for us.  It is going

to have to be a grass-roots effort, with each one of us

working to get others involved, and everyone doing

our part.

 

 

Maya Angelou said it this way...

"When You Know Better, You Do Better."

 

 

 

SO WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE?

 

In order to make this kind of a difference, there are three things

that we need to have in place...

  1. A way for ordinary people to make a big impact
    without interfering
    with their day-to-day responsibilities. 
    (People are busier than ever today, after all.)

  2. A way for people to improve both other people's lives as well
    as their own personal situation.  (It must foster cooperation and 
    produce real results, inspiring people to continue.)

  3. And we need a vehicle that will enable people to spread
    the word and to empower others to make a difference as well.

 

 

IT MUST BE SIMPLE, EASY & AFFORDABLE

 

It must be simple.  The average person must be able to

understand what to do and how to do it.

 

It must be easy to do.  If it is complicated or too hard,

people will just give up.

 

And it must be within reach of virtually everyone.

 

In fact, for it to be truly powerful, it needs to empower people

who want to make a difference to be able to afford to do so -

to have the resources to continue pursuing the mission.

 

In short, it needs to be self-sustaining.

 

 

 

IT MUST BE BELIEVABLE

 

In order for large numbers of people to get involved

and truly make a difference, it must be real. 

 

It must be credible.

 

It must be proven.

 

And it must be believable.

 

It must be promoted by an organization that has a proven track record

and is going to be around for a long time. 

 

 

 

IT MUST BE COMPELLING

 

And most importantly, it needs to be so captivating,

so exciting and so compelling, that people will actually line up

to get involved.

 

And it has to attract caring, compassionate and inspired leaders

who have a proven track record, and who have their hearts

in the right place. 

 

People must want to get involved because of what we are doing,

and who else is getting involved.

 

 

 

IT MUST FUN!

 

Isn't it fun to get together with friends and make a difference?

 

Isn't it fun to root for your team? 

 

To encourage team members to succeed and to be their best?

 

If something is fun, really fun, you're going to want to do it again.

 

Making a difference in a continuously expanding way, must foster the

cooperative spirit, so that people have fun and enjoy winning together.

 

And, everyone must win.

 

 

 

IT MUST BE TOTALLY RISK-FREE!

 

People will want to get involved and try it out.

If it is not for them, they should be able to get their investment back.

 

The program should be risk free and guaranteed.

 

 


 

GREAT NEWS! 

I FOUND IT!

 

Well the great news is, that I have found such a vehicle.

 

It is called the G.O.L.D. Ambassador Program!

 

G.O.L.D. stands for Global Opportunity Leadership Development

and the GOLD Ambassador Program allows everyday people

to get involved in making a real difference, in our personal

lives, our families, our communities and our planet.

 

And not only that, the GOLD Ambassador Program is truly

a DEAL OF THE DECADE!

 

 

 

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

 

The GOLD Ambassador Program allows you to participate

in making a difference (as much or as little as you want)

in four of the most powerful and most important movements

on the planet right now: 

  1. The Health & Wellness Revolution

  2. The Green Movement (Protecting the Planet)

  3. Time & Financial Freedom (Lifestyle)

  4. Understanding / Helping Others (Philanthropy)

And because we follow the Golden Rule, it also enables you to

strengthen and deepen your relationships along the way.

 

It empowers you to build richer communities and teams where people

work together and support each other's success.

 

Do you see how very powerful and very important

these elements are?

 

 

 

THE KEY

 

The key to all of this is in #3  - Time & Financial Freedom.

 

If your lifestyle involves lots of stress, just trying to "get by"

you won't have much to contribute to making the world

a better place.

 

To be able to make more of a difference, can be helpful to

reduce / eliminate the requirement of spending time in

order to make money

 

(If one is dependent on the other, you’re always having to

give up one to get the other...giving up time to make money,

or giving up money to have time.)

 

But when you have plenty of both, you can truly focus on

what you want to do and on making a difference. 

 

We call it living in "The Land of AND"TM

 

In fact, the more time and money you have available, the more

of a difference you can make! 

 

And the new GOLD Ambassador Program

allows you to do just THAT!

 

But this program is designed to not just address the

time/money/lifestyle issues that most people struggle with.

 

It is designed, from the ground up to address our society's

and our planet's most pressing challenges.  And not just

one or two of them, but ALL FOUR, AT THE SAME TIME!

 

That's why I want to ask you to seriously consider getting

involved.

 

Becoming a Global Ambassador means that you can help make

a difference in other people's lives by helping them:

  • get healthier,

  • protect the environment,

  • improve their quality of life, and

  • acquire the means to help others

AND DO IT ALL AT THE SAME TIME!

 

That is why I am recommending it so strongly.

 

 

 

HOW IN THE WORLD?

 

Consider the population explosion.

 

Around 1810, the number of people on the planet hit 1 billion people

for the first time in history.

 

In 1930, the number of people hit 2 billion.

In 1963, it was 3 billion.

In 1975, it was 4 billion.

In 1989, it was 5 billion.

In 2001, it was 6 billion.

 

And we now stand at about 6.6 billion people.

 

How is this possible?

 

Simple. 

 

Population growth occurs by having each generation

producing more babies than their replacement value

(more than two offspring). 

 

And right now, there are more than 3 births for every death.

 

 

 

WE CAN'T WAIT 30 YEARS...

 

Each generation takes about 20-30 years to reproduce. 

 

But if we wait even that long, the problems that we are facing

will have devastating and perhaps even irreversible consequences.

 

So in order to make a difference, we need to get each person

who gets involved get more people involved than their

replacement value. 

 

And to have each of them, do the same.

 

And we have to have this happen NOW!

 

 

 

IMAGINE WHAT'S POSSIBLE:

 

If one person who reads this each week becomes a GOLD Ambassador

and tells one other friend who becomes a GOLD Ambassador each week,

and then if both of them tells another friend who joins the following week,

and so on and so on, we can change the world in virtually no time.

 

Check this out:

 

Week 1

You join and become a GOLD Ambassador.

 

Week 2

You share this program with a few others, and one of those people joins.

 

Week 3

You have another person join, and your week 2 person

has one person join. (4 people are now involved)

 

Week 4

You have one person join, and each person from weeks 2+3 have one person join. (8 people are now making a difference.)

 

Week 5

You have another person join, and people from weeks 2, 3 & 4 have one person join. (16 people are now sharing the possibilities.)

 

 

Project this out over time, and you'll see that

 

In week 8

64 new people will join your team, and there will be a total of 128 people who are now all doing their part (and having one other person join each week).

 

In week 10

512 people will have joined your team, and over 1000 people will be making a difference.

 

 

By the fourth month, over 130,000 people will have joined.

 

By the sixth month, millions of people will have joined the program and begun switching brands, improving their health, their environment, their income and lifestyle!

 

Now that is more than enough people to totally change the world! 

 

 

 

ACCOUNTING FOR ATTRITION

 

The truth is that not everyone will do their part.

 

Some people who read this will not get involved at all.

 

Some people who do get involved will only share this with a few friends and then get busy with other projects.

 

And some of those friends will only share with a few others.

 

However, some people will really get the importance of making a difference.  They will make a commitment and follow through.  They will share this program with others consistently, every week or month. 

 

And every time they do, they will be empowering others to do the same.

 

 

 

WHAT CAN HAPPEN?

 

Here's just some of what can happen - if people just do their part:

  • Millions of people will be enjoying more energy, avoided or healed from debilitating sicknesses, gotten off drugs, and will be feeling stronger and more vitality with better health naturally.

  • Millions of tons of greenhouse gases will have
    been eliminated because they changed brands.

  • Millions of tons of packaging waste will have been eliminated because they are using more concentrated products.

  • Millions of trees will have been planted.

  • Millions of people will have improved their finances, gotten out of debt, and improved their quality of life.

  • Millions of people will be actively involved in making a difference in the lives of others.

And just as important, we will have raised the consciousness

of the entire human race, by helping people consider the consequences

of their actions and giving them a way to do good without interfering

with their current day-to-day responsibilities.

 

 

 

SO WHAT'S REALLY GOING TO HAPPEN?

 

That's the big question, isn't it?

 

It depends on how many people get involved and follow thru

on their commitment.

 

It depends on you and what you do next.

 

Our founder once said that

 

"The best way to predict the future...

is to create it."

 

He also said:

 

"Your future life will be exactly

what you think to make of it."

 

Why is this important?

 

Because, you see, it really is up to us.

 

Will you join me on my quest to form teams of leaders who are

all making an important difference?

 

Will you help somebody have more energy, prevent debilitating diseases,

and live a more healthful lifestyle?

 

Will you empower people to stop living paycheck to paycheck,

going deeper in debt or losing their house?  Will you enable them to save for retirement?  Will you help them make their dreams come true?

 

Will you help our planet, reduce pollution, and stop global warming?

 

Will you help us build stronger communities, and reduce

poverty and violence?

 

 

THE REAL QUESTION

 

The Real Question is what are YOU going to do right now?

 

You have an opportunity to get involved and to make an incredible

difference.  Right here and right now.

 

Will you take action?

 

Will you be part of the solution?

 

Will you encourage others to get involved as well?

 

Let's say that you follow thru and sponsor one person each week,

but only 20% of the people your sponsor, take action and sponsor

someone else into the program over time.

 

That means that you will need to sponsor 5 people to find one

who will continue to do their part.

 

In the beginning, that will seem like a really slow start.

But pretty soon, you will have a growing team.

 

By being committed, and continuing to share about the immense need

and the vision of making a difference with others, your team will grow.

 

And their teams will grow. 

 

And more and more people will get involved.

 

And that is what is needed to change the world.

 

 

 

 

 

IDEAS WHOSE TIMES HAVE COME

 

The world is beginning to wake up to the importance of

what we've been saying for over 50 years now.

 

Hollywood stars, presidential candidates, scientists from all over

the world, and the press is now covering these critical trends

and grass roots movements on a DAILY basis.

 

  • NATURAL HEALTH (Wellness & Prevention)

  • GREEN
