- 0:00it is so much fun to travel the world
- 0:02especially for me Farm Boy from Idaho I
- 0:04didn't have many skills when I first uh
- 0:07awakened to the opportunity that you
- 0:09know you could work for pay I knew how
- 0:11to milkk cows but you know that was
- 0:12about it and it didn't pay very well but
- 0:14when I was introduced to network
- 0:16marketing health and nutrition a
- 0:17marketing system where I could start at
- 0:19the bottom go to the top and start
- 0:20part-time it literally revolutionized
- 0:24and changed my life forever I've never
- 0:27been the same and a big share of my
- 0:29story story now is sharing with people
- 0:32around the world this extraordinary
- 0:35opportunity and then along with it the
- 0:38philosophy that makes it work because
- 0:40you can have every technique in the
- 0:41world and the best product in the world
- 0:42and you can have the finest support
- 0:44system in the world but unless you have
- 0:46the philosophy that drives you to do the
- 0:49necessary things to make it work then
- 0:51nothing works so I like to talk about
- 0:54all the things that made it work for me
- 0:56and see if that might not be valuable
- 0:58for uh someone else
- 1:00so I want you to take some good notes if
- 1:02you're ready to take notes say I'm ready
- 1:04ready I like this crowd
- 1:07already treat me well I might take you
- 1:09with me as my traveling
- 1:11audience now here's the next key on
- 1:13being prepared for the next century and
- 1:15that is your personal
- 1:18philosophy at age 25 the things that so
- 1:22dramatically changed my life was number
- 1:25one the discovery of a unique product
- 1:29that I could believe in my my mother
- 1:30taught nutrition and she taught good
- 1:33health so I was the beneficiary of that
- 1:35it came from my grandmother my
- 1:37grandfather passed it on to my mother
- 1:39she taught it passed it on to me uh my
- 1:42father never had a major illness Liv to
- 1:44be 93 my mother extended her life
- 1:46according to the doctor at least 20
- 1:49years she should have died at least 20
- 1:51years earlier than she did simply
- 1:53because she stretched out those years by
- 1:56the study of good nutrition I was an
- 1:58only child and Mama studied and you know
- 2:00mixed up all that stuff back then you
- 2:02know she'd say hey me and Papa and her
- 2:04she said drink this stuff if it don't
- 2:06kill us I think it'll help you know and
- 2:07we're gagging down this
- 2:11stuff and mama taught all of that but
- 2:13the payoff was so
- 2:15incredible I passed it on to my two
- 2:17daughters they've never been ill they
- 2:19passed it on to their children my
- 2:20grandchildren they haven't been ill I
- 2:22mean the study of good nutrition paying
- 2:24attention and being involved in the
- 2:26industry you're in it's one of the best
- 2:28so that's so important your personal
- 2:32philosophy what you believe in that's
- 2:35going to carry you into the next Century
- 2:38let me give you now some of the early
- 2:39philosophies that changed my life
- 2:40forever I heard one of them in my
- 2:42introduction some of these philosophies
- 2:45have lived with me now all of these
- 2:46years I've passed them on and people
- 2:48have come back around saying it's thr
- 2:49own you know 10 years ago 20 years ago
- 2:5230 years ago 35 years ago I sat in your
- 2:54class and sat in your seminar and those
- 2:56early things that you taught I've
- 2:58practiced it and I'm doing it it a man
- 3:00not long ago showed me notes he took 23
- 3:02years ago and then he had me sign those
- 3:05notes he said I've used these notes to
- 3:06develop my life my personal life and my
- 3:08business life and when he took those
- 3:10notes he said I was 18 years old so it's
- 3:14incredible I'm so thankful for all these
- 3:16years but now I want to pass it along to
- 3:18you some of the philosophies that
- 3:19changed my life forever okay if you're
- 3:22ready say I'm ready ready here's the
- 3:24first one profits are better than wages
- 3:31once I understood that I got
- 3:34rich profits are better than
- 3:37wages nobody taught me that in high
- 3:40school I went to college for a year and
- 3:42a half and never heard it I'm 25 and
- 3:45broke I'm not destitute I'm broke too
- 3:48much month at the end of the money is
- 3:51broke and I finally hear this philosophy
- 3:54profits are better than
- 3:57wages now here's the phrase that goes
- 3:59with it wages make you a living which is
- 4:02fine profits make you a fortune which is
- 4:06super
- 4:07fine and you can live both fine and
- 4:09super fine you've now got the mechanism
- 4:11and the ways and means to do
- 4:13that profits are better than wages guess
- 4:16what I taught this in
- 4:18Moscow when I was teaching capitalism
- 4:21you know the Communists had it all wrong
- 4:23they taught that capitalism was you know
- 4:25a big company that oppresses its workers
- 4:27I mean it was absolutely ridiculous they
- 4:30had mentally lost it when they came up
- 4:32with this ridiculous
- 4:33philosophy communism taught Capital
- 4:35belongs to the state not the
- 4:37people and we taught all these years
- 4:39what capital belongs in the hands of the
- 4:41people not the state that's why of
- 4:43course kids should pay taxes because
- 4:45they can be capitalists and all
- 4:47capitalists should pay taxes and it
- 4:49doesn't take much to start an Enterprise
- 4:50that makes a profit I teach kids how to
- 4:53have two bicycles one to ride and one to
- 4:55rent I mean you know how long does it
- 4:57take how long does it take to make a
- 5:00profit I mean a little Ingenuity and
- 5:02you're on your
- 5:03way so profits are better than wages
- 5:06capitalism better than communism
- 5:08communism said people are too dumb and
- 5:11stupid to know what to do with capital
- 5:14so you must take Capital away from all
- 5:16the dumb stupid people and give it to
- 5:19the all wise all- knowing
- 5:22State and let the state run everything I
- 5:25mean that was communism and they
- 5:28devastated every country they t touched
- 5:30I've been to East Germany it's taking a
- 5:33trillion dollars just to clean up East
- 5:35Germany they've already spent 500
- 5:38billion they got 500 billion more to go
- 5:41I mean every country they touched and
- 5:42I've been in all of them they devastated
- 5:45them all with their devastating
- 5:47philosophy we teach Capital belongs in
- 5:50the hands of the people that's where the
- 5:52Ingenuity is to bring goods and services
- 5:54to the marketplace and I'm going to show
- 5:55you later the miracle of capitalism
- 5:58Grassroots In America which you're
- 6:00involved in but once I understood this
- 6:04now it was so
- 6:05incredible profits are better than wages
- 6:08now when I first was recruited I'm a
- 6:10distributor for this little product
- 6:11called abunda
- 6:13VA and here's what my mentor said Mr
- 6:17scha he said Mr own you can start this
- 6:20miracle working business
- 6:24part-time you don't have to go full-time
- 6:26you can start part-time and he said if
- 6:28you'll devote to start with let's say 10
- 6:3012 15 hours a week where you'll start
- 6:32making a
- 6:34profit here's what you can now say I'm
- 6:37working full-time on my job and
- 6:40part-time on my
- 6:41fortune because profits lead to
- 6:44Fortune I got so excited about that

- 11:34life it's what you do with the money
- 11:35it's the change of Lifestyle so
- 11:37part-time helps to change lifestyle
- 11:40which gives you a classic invitation to
- 11:42look at what you're doing that's how I
- 11:44started in network marketing age
- 11:4825 wow these philosophies change my life
- 11:52I wish I would have learned them in high
- 11:56school in high school if they would have
- 11:58offered wealth one wealth too I'd have
- 11:59taken both
- 12:02classes I wouldn't have waited until I
- 12:04was 25 and
- 12:05broke here's the next one philosophy
- 12:08that helped change my life it's not what
- 12:09happens that determines your life future
- 12:12it's not what happens that determines
- 12:14your life
- 12:16future it's what you do about what
- 12:20happens all of us are in like a little
- 12:23sailboat and it's not the blowing of the
- 12:25wind that determines your destination
- 12:27it's the set of the sail so jot this
- 12:29phrase down it's one of the best to
- 12:31understand kids need to understand it
- 12:32the same wind blows on us
- 12:35all the same wind blows on us all the
- 12:39wind of disaster the wind of opportunity
- 12:41the Wind of
- 12:42Change the wind when it's upside down
- 12:44the wind when it's favorable and
- 12:46unfavorable the same wind blows on us
- 12:48all the economic wind the social wind
- 12:50the political wind the same wind blows
- 12:52on everybody the difference in where you
- 12:54arrive in one year 3 years 5 years the
- 12:57difference in arrival is not the blowing
- 12:58of the wind but the
- 13:00set of the sail and that's what learning
- 13:04is all about to set a better sail this
- 13:05year than last year to set a better sale
- 13:09the first six years of my economic life
- 13:10I wound up broke second six years I
- 13:12wound up
- 13:13rich you say well the Democrats must
- 13:15have finally gotten power
- 13:17no
- 13:19no
- 13:22no it was not a political
- 13:25change here's what changed the second
- 13:27six years of my economic life it was my
- 13:30philosophy that changed the set of the
- 13:32sale of better thinking correcting the
- 13:34errors of the past and picking up new
- 13:35disciplines for the future that's all I
- 13:37had to do at the end of the first six
- 13:39correct the errors of the past and then
- 13:41pick up some new disciplines for the
- 13:42future and my total life changed the
- 13:44second six years was totally different
- 13:46than the first six of my working life
- 13:49and guess who can do that
- 13:51anybody now you can keep on the same
- 13:53path for the next couple of years as you
- 13:55have the past two but if you wish to if
- 13:58you wish to
- 13:59and maybe everything's okay for you and
- 14:00you don't need to but if you need to
- 14:02make some changes I'm telling you can
- 14:04start doing it today so that the next
- 14:06two years will be drastically different
- 14:08than the last
- 14:09two and anybody who wishes to do that
- 14:12can and you can do it between ages 40
- 14:14and 43 you can do it between ages 13 and
- 14:1615 you can do it between ages 60 and 62
- 14:19any two years any five years that you
- 14:22wish to drastically change from the
- 14:24previous five you can do
- 14:27it if you wish
- 14:29now this is not this is this isn't
- 14:31written this is not a
- 14:33law here's what it's called
- 14:36opportunity but if you don't know you
- 14:38can change if you don't know you can
- 14:40drastically change your income change
- 14:41your future change your health change
- 14:43your marriage change everything if you
- 14:44don't know that some people then go year
- 14:46after year after year after year not
- 14:48making much change simply because they
- 14:50they didn't get to the class they never
- 14:52read the book they never went to the
- 14:53seminar they never made the discovery
- 14:56they didn't seek for the knowledge of
- 14:58how could I make my life better and if
- 14:59you just rock along I'm telling you it's
- 15:01okay anybody can live any way they
- 15:03choose but I'm here to tell all of you
- 15:05that if you wish to it's possible to
- 15:08make the next three years totally
- 15:10different than the last three and all
- 15:12you have to do is just a few things so
- 15:15we got that one now it's not the blowing
- 15:17of the wind that determines your income
- 15:20it's not the blowing of the wind that
- 15:21determines your fortune it's the set of
- 15:23the same and that's why we gathered here
- 15:25today maybe I've got some ideas that'll
- 15:27help you with a couple of little things
- 15:29things about setting the sale of your
- 15:31thinking that might drastically give you
- 15:35multiplied more benefit the next three
- 15:37years than you've gotten in the last
- 15:39three so it's not what
- 15:42happens what happens happens to
- 15:44everybody Chevron years ago brought me
- 15:47in to talk to management they said Mr R
- 15:49you travel around the world and you're
- 15:50fairly knowledgeable what do you think
- 15:52the next 10 years are going to be like I
- 15:55said gentlemen I can tell you I do know
- 15:56the right people so they all lean
- 15:59forward and listen carefully and as a
- 16:00gentlemen the next 10 years are going to
- 16:02be about like the last
- 16:1010 the next season after fall
- 16:14is well I promise you that's not going
- 16:16to
- 16:18change after day comes night I promise
- 16:22you that's not going to
- 16:23change here's how the last 6,000 years
- 16:26reads if you want to make a note of Jim
- 16:28Ron's
- 16:29vision of History the last 6,000 years
- 16:31here's how it reads opportunity mixed
- 16:33with
- 16:36difficulty and if we're around another
- 16:376,000 years it's going to read like that
- 16:39looks like for the next 6,000 years
- 16:42opportunity mixed with difficulty now
- 16:45sometimes there seems to be more
- 16:46opportunity than difficulty and then
- 16:48sometimes there seems to be more
- 16:50difficulty than opportunity but the mix
- 16:52isn't going to
- 16:54change after expansion
- 16:57comes recession
- 17:00but after recession comes expansion not
- 17:04to think so see is naive and once you've
- 17:07got just a little of this stuff settled
- 17:10then you know exactly what to do you
- 17:12know exactly what to anticipate so you
- 17:14can be
- 17:15ready now here's the next one and I
- 17:17heard it in my invitation here's what it
- 17:18says for things to change you have to
- 17:22change I was hoping the government would
- 17:24change and taxes would change and
- 17:26economics would change and my boss would
- 17:28change and me more generous I wished for
- 17:30everything to change and my teacher said
- 17:32no Mr O for things to change for you you
- 17:34have to
- 17:35change don't wish it was easier wish you
- 17:39were
- 17:40better once I understood this this
- 17:42altered the course of my life don't wish
- 17:44it was
- 17:45easier wish you were
- 17:47better and here's the big one don't wish
- 17:50for Less Problems wish for more
- 17:53skills you don't need less problems you
- 17:56simply need more skills
- 17:59don't wish for Less challenge wish for
- 18:01more
- 18:02wisdom accept the challenge because you
- 18:05can't grow without a challenge you can't
- 18:07get rich without a challenge you can't
- 18:09fly without gravity you have to
- 18:11understand the challenge but that's the
- 18:13key is to now develop wisdom to overcome
- 18:16the challenge don't wish for Less
- 18:17challenge but more
- 18:19wisdom then here's one more philosophy
- 18:21to help change my life forever you can
- 18:23do the most remarkable things no matter
- 18:25what happens humans can do the most
- 18:28remarkable things no matter what
- 18:33happens philosophies that change my
- 18:37life here's one of the big philosophies
- 18:40I learned in network marketing it's
- 18:41called the law of
- 18:44averages if you do something often
- 18:46enough a ratio here's one of the big
- 18:47philosophies I learned in network
- 18:49marketing it's called the law of
- 18:52averages if you do something often
- 18:54enough a ratio will appear key phrase if
- 18:57you do something often often enough a
- 18:59ratio will
- 19:01appear it's amazing it's
- 19:03uncanny in baseball we call it batting
- 19:08average if you talk to 10 people one
- 19:10says yes now the ratio has
- 19:13begun one out of 10 talk to 10 get one
- 19:18here's something interesting about the
- 19:19law of averages once it starts it tends
- 19:21to
- 19:23continue this is colossal
- 19:26information once a ratio starts at 10
- 19:30to
- 19:31continue if you talk to 10 and get one
- 19:34sure enough chances are excellent if you
- 19:35talk to 10 more you'll get another one
- 19:39talk to 10 more you'll get another
- 19:42one now you can compete if you can only
- 19:45get one out of 10 you can compete even
- 19:47with somebody that can get nine out of
- 19:4810 if you've been here a long time you
- 19:50can get nine out of 10 I just joined I
- 19:51can only get one out of 10 if we have a
- 19:5330-day contest I will beat
- 19:55you say well how could you beat me
- 19:57here's why during the 30 days you talk
- 19:59to 10 and get nine I talk to 100 and get
- 20:0310 I beat
- 20:07you isn't that clever this is clever
- 20:11stuff and I do it for two reasons I
- 20:13sincerely wish to win but I do it for
- 20:15another very sincere reason I wish for
- 20:17you to
- 20:20lose and that's Noble on my part here's
- 20:24why it's Noble you learn more by losing
- 20:26than you do by winning so I wish to give
- 20:29you that
- 20:33experience now here's how I do it once I
- 20:35understand uh the law of averages when
- 20:38I'm new I make up in numbers what I lack
- 20:41in skill I make up in numbers what I
- 20:45lack in
- 20:47skill now who can do that anybody that's
- 20:50ambitious anybody with a little
- 20:52Ingenuity
- 20:54anybody doesn't matter
- 20:58now here's one more the law of averages
- 21:01can be increased you get one out of 10
- 21:03talk to 10 get another one talk to 10
- 21:05get another one the fourth time you talk
- 21:06to 10 you get
- 21:08two why would the fourth time you talk
- 21:10to 10 you get two instead of
- 21:12one you're getting better you're getting
- 21:15better and who can get better
- 21:19anybody talk to 10 get two talk to 10
- 21:22get two finally talk to 10 get three I
- 21:26finally got up to about three
- 21:29now it takes more than a genius to go
- 21:31past like three or four but three will
- 21:34do if you bat 300 in baseball they pay
- 21:37you $4 million a year which means you're
- 21:40out seven times out of 10 seven times
- 21:44out of 10 out make $4 million a
- 21:51year are you ready for
- 21:56that so this work so well now in your
- 21:59business just chck the phrase down you
- 22:01don't have to bat a
- 22:04thousand you don't have to bat a
- 22:06thousand to make big
- 22:08money one out of 10's fine two out of 10
- 22:11is terrific three out of 10 is
- 22:13fabulous some particular incredible
- 22:16genius might get four out of 10 but
- 22:18three out of 10 is sufficient to make
- 22:20you rich Beyond Your Wildest
- 22:22imagination this is how I went after my
- 22:24friends neighbors and relatives when I
- 22:26first started recruiting I said look
- 22:28I've got a new business and I'm getting
- 22:29about three out of 10 to join and I
- 22:32don't mind you just come to the meeting
- 22:34and be one of the
- 22:41seven doesn't
- 22:46matter you're my friend you'll do me a
- 22:49favor and so it's not important to me
- 22:51that you like it it's not important to
- 22:52me that you join it's certainly not
- 22:54important to me that you buy it's just
- 22:55important to me that you listen one of
- 22:57the reasons I want you to hear the story
- 22:58is because a year from now if I'm doing
- 23:00well I don't want you to say how come
- 23:02you never picked up the phone a year ago
- 23:03I never got a letter never got a
- 23:06call you call me a
- 23:09friend you're making all this money you
- 23:11never picked up the phone so I don't
- 23:12want that to happen so for two reasons I
- 23:14want you to see what I'm doing so that a
- 23:16year from now if I'm doing
- 23:18well I can say you know I gave you the
- 23:21opportunity but also just as a favor
- 23:23come and be one of the seven it doesn't
- 23:25matter to me if you buy or
- 23:26joint but I need 10 to get
- 23:31three and if you're one of the three
- 23:33wonderful if you're not
- 23:36wonderful it doesn't it might matter to
- 23:38you it might matter to you but it
- 23:41doesn't matter to me now it matters to
- 23:42me because we're friends but it doesn't
- 23:45matter in terms of my averages so if you
- 23:47decide to get rich just learn the law of
- 23:49averages you're of and running now
- 23:51here's the second law that changed my
- 23:53life forever in network marketing I
- 23:56learned the law of sewing and reaping
- 23:59and in the law of sewing and reaping is
- 24:01also the story of the law of averages
- 24:03jot this down the story of the sewer
- 24:06comes from the Bible I'm an amateur on
- 24:08the Bible but this is such a useful
- 24:11story here's what the story says and
- 24:14take the notes because the drama's in
- 24:15the
- 24:16details the SE was ambitious evidently
- 24:19he was ambitious when you read the whole
- 24:21story you'll conclude yes this was an
- 24:22ambitious sewer here was number two he
- 24:24had excellent
- 24:26seed the sewer who so the seed had
- 24:29excellent seed and the excellent seed
- 24:31can be an excellent opportunity an
- 24:32excellent product an excellent story so
- 24:35we've got an ambitious soore with
- 24:36excellent
- 24:38seed but now here's the rest of the
- 24:40details of the story for your
- 24:42information for the drama of your life
- 24:44so you can understand things better
- 24:46learning some of this is how I got rich
- 24:47by age
- 24:4831 okay number one it says the soore
- 24:52goes out to sew the seed but the first
- 24:54part of the seed Falls by the wayside
- 24:57and the bird
- 24:59get it so jck this down the birds are
- 25:02going to get some of the
- 25:05seed the birds are going to get some of
- 25:09the seed now you say Well Mr what does
- 25:11that mean well I invite John to come to
- 25:13a meeting he said he'd be there Tuesday
- 25:14night Tuesday night I show up John isn't
- 25:19there I say John I wonder why John
- 25:22didn't make it now I know the answer the
- 25:26birds the birds
- 25:31John had this great idea of coming to
- 25:33the meeting to look at an opportunity
- 25:35and somebody stole it and said you're
- 25:38not going to go see network
- 25:42marketing and he says well maybe
- 25:45not so have you joted that down now the
- 25:47birds are going to get some now when the
- 25:49birds get some you've got two options
- 25:52number one is to chase Birds
- 25:59and say well let me get a hold of the
- 26:00person that talked him how to come to
- 26:01the meeting I'll tear him a new page
- 26:03but I wouldn't do
- 26:06this here's what happens if you go
- 26:08chasing birds you leave the field if you
- 26:12go chasing birds now you leave the field
- 26:15which is going to distract from your
- 26:17future not add so you can't chase birds
- 26:20and try to straighten this stuff
- 26:23out here's what it is it's just one of
- 26:25those
- 26:27things and here's the best comment when
- 26:29things are a little disappointing isn't
- 26:31that interesting you just you just have
- 26:34to say I thought sure he would be there
- 26:35he promised me he promised me but I know
- 26:39it was the birds and you just have to
- 26:41say isn't that
- 26:42interesting now here's the rest of the
- 26:44story it says the sewer kept on sewing
- 26:47see that was the secret to his success
- 26:49he kept on sewing and if you keep sewing
- 26:53you can sew more than the birds can get
- 26:55because there aren't enough
- 26:56Birds if you keep sewing there are some
- 26:58birds but there's not enough because the
- 27:01law of averages will work for
- 27:03you my mentor taught me said you know Mr
- 27:05R there's only nine or 10 real nasty
- 27:07miserable people in the whole
- 27:09world now he says they move around a lot
- 27:12you know and you're liable
- 27:17to You'll bump into one once in a while
- 27:20but when you bump into one you say
- 27:21there's only nine more like you I can
- 27:22handle that in the whole
- 27:26world okay now here's what else it says
- 27:29the sewer now keeps sewing the seed now
- 27:31the seed Falls the story says on Rocky
- 27:34ground where the soil is shallow and the
- 27:37rocky ground where the soil is shallow
- 27:39is not of your
- 27:41making because you had excellent seed
- 27:43and you were an ambitious so so the
- 27:45rocky ground where the soil is shallow
- 27:46is not of your
- 27:48making but here's what it says what
- 27:50happened this time the little seed that
- 27:52falls in the ground starts to grow and
- 27:54the little plant starts to grow but the
- 27:56first hot day
- 27:59it Withers and
- 28:02dies it dies not an easy thing to
- 28:07watch I finally get John started sure
- 28:10enough three or 4 days later somebody
- 28:11says boo and he
- 28:18goes he's
- 28:22gone doesn't show up at the second
- 28:25meeting and I say I thought sure John
- 28:28had last a
- 28:32week what happened jot this down the hot
- 28:35weather is going to get
- 28:38some and this is not of your making
- 28:40here's what you must say when that
- 28:42happens
- 28:43isn't that interesting wow what can you
- 28:48do the answer is nothing you say well
- 28:50I'm going to try to change this I
- 28:52wouldn't take that
- 28:54class you know the sun comes up in the
- 28:56East somebody says why is that I
- 28:57wouldn't spend much time on that
- 29:00just just let that
- 29:02happen don't go for this why why why
- 29:05stuff I'm giving you the answers here
- 29:07the answers is in is in the structure
- 29:09and the consequences and in the deal the
- 29:11answer is in the deal anything beyond
- 29:13that is not worth
- 29:16studying you say well how come some just
- 29:18lasts a little while I wouldn't sign up
- 29:19for that
- 29:22class here's the answer some don't stay
- 29:26you just you just have to jot that down
- 29:28and when some leaves you say that's one
- 29:30of those that don't stay just now you
- 29:32know what category to put them in and
- 29:34you can't solve this now you can't it's
- 29:36like rearranging the seasons you can't
- 29:38fool with that all you can do is
- 29:40cooperate with the way things are set up
- 29:42I didn't set it
- 29:44up you say well it shouldn't be this way
- 29:46well when you get your own Planet you
- 29:47can rearrange this whole
- 29:50deal but on this planet you're a guest
- 29:52you got to take it as it
- 29:55comes now here was the secret to the
- 29:58ambitious sewer with good seed it said
- 29:59he kept on sewing now here's what he had
- 30:03to do to keep on sewing he had to
- 30:05discipline his
- 30:08disappointment this is a key phrase now
- 30:10to use the rest of your life you must
- 30:12learn to discipline your disappointment
- 30:14because you didn't set up the setup and
- 30:16some are not going to stay and that is
- 30:19not of your
- 30:20making now if you made gross errors and
- 30:22you ran them off see that'd be different
- 30:24now you're responsible for that but if
- 30:26it's in the normal course of things the
- 30:28is the way things are now here's what it
- 30:29says the sewer keeps on sewing now it
- 30:31says the seed falls on thorny
- 30:34ground and somebody says well how much
- 30:36of this do you have to go through well
- 30:37hang on it's it's not the end of the
- 30:40story now now the little seed falls on
- 30:42thorny ground and now the little plant
- 30:44starts to grow again but as the little
- 30:46plant starts to grow the Thorns choke it
- 30:48to death and it
- 30:52dies so jot this down the Thorns are
- 30:55going to get
- 30:56some and that that's not of your
- 30:59making and what are these Thorns the
- 31:02story even called these little Thorns
- 31:03little cares little distractions little
- 31:06something who knows what all they
- 31:08are I say John we had a meeting last
- 31:11night you weren't here John says well I
- 31:13can't make every
- 31:15meeting I say why not you're
- 31:19part-time he said well the screen door
- 31:21came off the hinges and you just can't
- 31:24let your house fall apart you got to
- 31:25take some time and fix things up and I
- 31:27can hear the th going uh uh
- 31:32uh he says some extra trash had piled up
- 31:35in the garage you can't let mountains of
- 31:36trash take over you got to keep your
- 31:39trash hauled
- 31:44out people who let little things cheat
- 31:47them out of big opportunities people who
- 31:49let little things cheat them out of big
- 31:52opportunities and you feel almost
- 31:54helpless what could I do about that and
- 31:55that's nothing and you say well why is
- 31:57this
- 31:58I'm asking you not to sign up for that
- 32:01class don't sign up for these why is
- 32:03this
- 32:04class it's just the way it is like
- 32:10winter Following fall and spring
- 32:11following
- 32:13winter so if you got that the Thorns are
- 32:15going to get some but now here's the
- 32:17good news let's read the rest of the
- 32:19story Now quickly the SE now what keeps
- 32:23on sewing the seed keeps on sharing the
- 32:27story keeps on giving an invitation yes
- 32:30the invitation can be more powerful for
- 32:32me as it was one year later than it was
- 32:34the first the first month because now
- 32:36I'm saying I'm making twice as much
- 32:37money parttime as I'm making on a
- 32:39full-time yes the story can be more
- 32:40powerful but the law of average is still
- 32:42going to work but now here's what the
- 32:43story said finally the seed falls on
- 32:46good
- 32:48ground finally the seed falls on good
- 32:50ground now put this in parenthesis it
- 32:53always
- 32:54will if you keep sewing
- 32:58if you share a good idea long enough it
- 33:00will fall on good
- 33:02people but now here's the rest of that
- 33:05story some of the good ground did
- 33:0930% and some of the good ground
- 33:13did
- 33:1560% and some of the good ground
- 33:19did
- 33:23100% you say why the difference in
- 33:25numbers I wouldn't sign up for that
- 33:29class come
- 33:33on have I said that often enough now
- 33:37don't register for that
- 33:40class it's just the way it is now I
- 33:45tried to get the 30s to do 60 found out
- 33:48it was more than I could
- 33:50handle I used to say I'll make them
- 33:52successful if it kills me I almost
- 33:55died no you can't do that
- 33:58here's what you do let the 30s do 30 to
- 34:01the best of their ability and keep doing
- 34:0330 because that's how they build their
- 34:04lifestyle and get what they want out of
- 34:06life and let the 60s do 60 and let the
- 34:08100s do 100s now how can you get some to
- 34:12do 100% you got to go through all these
- 34:15experiences and you got to talk to all
- 34:17these people let me quickly give you now
- 34:19a list of the skills that changed my
- 34:21life
- 34:22forever developing a new philosophy that
- 34:25I could do
- 34:26it in my my network marketing experience
- 34:29now led me to developing new
- 34:32skills right I knew how to milk cows but
- 34:35didn't pay well here's the first skill I
- 34:37learned that changed my life getting a
- 34:40customer making a
- 34:43sale and of course sales for you is easy
- 34:46right because it's not technical right
- 34:48the technical is all taken care of you
- 34:50simply represent your
- 34:52product if you share a unique product
- 34:56talk about its merits persuade someone
- 34:58that it's the best they agree to buy
- 35:01that's the simple art of
- 35:03sales but in your business here's what
- 35:05it's more like sharing because using the
- 35:08product yourself Gathering some
- 35:09testimonials you simply share that so
- 35:12we're not talking like high-powered
- 35:14spacecraft technical skills here it's
- 35:18simply sharing something you've
- 35:20discovered with someone else and doing
- 35:22it well enough to where they agree they
- 35:25would like to participate
- 35:27now here's what happened when I learned
- 35:29sales it multiplied my income by
- 35:33five now it didn't take that much CU I
- 35:36wasn't doing that well in farm country
- 35:38but it did multiply my income by five
- 35:41sales getting customers laying that
- 35:44incredible
- 35:46foundation for an entrepreneurial
- 35:50career so now I've got two skills
- 35:52milking cows and making
- 35:55sales here's the next one I learned that
- 35:57changed me forever and that's recruiting
- 36:01introducing the business opportunity to
- 36:02new people learning how to give a good
- 36:06invitation learning how to give two
- 36:08kinds of presentation formal and
- 36:11informal and the third part of
- 36:13recruiting of course is following
- 36:14up once you start a new life now you got
- 36:17to take care of it like a new mother
- 36:19would take care of her baby you don't
- 36:21start a new life and abandon it you
- 36:23start a new life and nourish it like a
- 36:25mother and protect it like a father you
- 36:28got to be mo both mother and father to a
- 36:30new person nourishment ideas like a
- 36:32mother
- 36:34protection help defend your new life
- 36:37against the encroachment of outside
- 36:38voices that would try to talk them out
- 36:40of it so you got to be mother and father
- 36:42in this art of
- 36:44recruiting we call it being a sponsor
- 36:47and being a sponsor is like being a
- 36:48bridge helping somebody from Darkness to
- 36:50light from skeptic to Faith from not
- 36:53knowing to knowing from no confidence in
- 36:56themselves to starting to gain
- 36:57confidence you're the bridge that helps
- 37:00people from the Shadows to the sunlight
- 37:03it's one of the most exciting positions
- 37:05to occupy in all of network marketing
- 37:08industry is the bridge helping people
- 37:11crossing the
- 37:12bridge out from discouragement into
- 37:15recognition being this bridge that's
- 37:18what the recruiting magic is all about
- 37:21you've got the answers they've been
- 37:22looking for the answers you've got the
- 37:24answers and you help them cross this
- 37:25bridge you see something in them before
- 37:28they can see it in themselves you assure
- 37:30them that it's possible to be more than
- 37:32they are therefore they can earn more
- 37:34than they've got have more than they
- 37:36possess this is one of the great arts in
- 37:39the world and here's what's exciting
- 37:41about this art it
- 37:42pays big
- 37:45money because now you operate a unique
- 37:48philosophy taught first in the Bible
- 37:50John Kennedy taught it in his inaugural
- 37:52speech Zig Ziggler's got one of the best
- 37:54ways to put it and that's the secret to
- 37:56wealth the secret to wealth and Fortune
- 37:59first taught in the
- 38:01Bible because the question was asked how
- 38:03can we achieve greatness great wealth
- 38:05great power great influence great
- 38:07recognition great self-esteem how can we
- 38:09achieve greatness the master teacher was
- 38:12asked and here was his formula for
- 38:14achieving personal greatness he said
- 38:18find a way to serve the many for service
- 38:23to many leads to Greatness for those
- 38:26that are interested
- 38:28some people aren't interested but for
- 38:29those that are service to many leads to
- 38:34Greatness someone says well best I can
- 38:36do is just take care of myself which is
- 38:38okay but it doesn't lead to
- 38:40Greatness somebody says I got enough
- 38:42bills of my own I can't worry about
- 38:43someone else's bills that's okay but it
- 38:44doesn't lead to Greatness greatness is
- 38:47helping people pay their bills you
- 38:48forget about
- 38:50yours because if you help enough people
- 38:53pay theirs yours
- 38:55disappear help people with problems your
- 38:57problems disappear The Key to Greatness
- 38:59the master teacher taught is finding a
- 39:01way now a lot of people would like to
- 39:02serve many people but they don't have a
- 39:04way and what's exciting about you and
- 39:07your business is you've now got the way
- 39:09whether you use it or not it's up to you
- 39:11whether you cash it in or not is up to
- 39:13you whether you make a fortune or just a
- 39:15little that's all up to you each
- 39:17person's
- 39:19ambition it's called the same marketing
- 39:22the same product the products are the
- 39:23same for everybody here the marketing
- 39:25system is the same the difference is
- 39:27each person's philosophy and each
- 39:29person's individual
- 39:31ambition but whatever your Ambitions are
- 39:33now you've got the ways and means and
- 39:35here's what you've got the ways and
- 39:36means to do serve as many people as you
- 39:38would like now here's what's exciting
- 39:40about
- 39:42recruiting with what you're involved in
- 39:44here you can directly and indirectly
- 39:47affect the lives of dozens of people
- 39:50some of you are going to directly and
- 39:51indirectly affect the lives of hundreds
- 39:53of people and some of you if you wish
- 39:56can directly and directly affect the
- 39:58lives of thousands of
- 40:00people and the pay is
- 40:02accordingly if you affect a few you earn
- 40:05that pay if you affect the many you earn
- 40:07that pay but the secret is found in the
- 40:09Bible service to many leads to Greatness
- 40:12now John Kennedy said it in his
- 40:13inaugural speech here's what he said
- 40:15don't
- 40:16ask don't we wish that was the current
- 40:18political
- 40:20philosophy where is John Kennedy and his
- 40:24philosophy John Kennedy said don't ask
- 40:28ask that's important if you understand
- 40:32philosophy he said don't ask what the
- 40:34people can do for you don't ask what the
- 40:37country can do for you don't ask what
- 40:39the government can do for you that's not
- 40:41how you get rich that's not how you have
- 40:43high self-esteem that's not how you get
- 40:45trophies to put on the mantle above the
- 40:47fireplace asking what the people can do
- 40:49for you don't ask he said what the
- 40:50people can do for you but
- 40:53ask what could I do for my country and
- 40:56the country means the people what could
- 40:59I do for the people I want trophies I
- 41:02want recognition I want High self-esteem
- 41:04I would even like like a chance to make
- 41:06a fortune John Kennedy says it's easy
- 41:08don't ask what the people can do for you
- 41:10but ask what could I do for the people
- 41:14could I directly and indirectly serve
- 41:16many in my country and now that you are
- 41:20participating in this program the answer
- 41:22is
- 41:23yes now zigg probably said it best zig's
- 41:26got some great
- 41:28St Zig and I have been good friends for
- 41:30a lot of years Zig says money isn't
- 41:33everything but it ranks right up there
- 41:34with
- 41:35oxygen Zig you're
- 41:40right Zig says my dentist told me Zig
- 41:43only floss the teeth you want to
- 41:45keep you know forget the
- 41:50rest but here zigg is famous for this
- 41:52now this is one of zig's philosophies
- 41:54and it goes right along with the other
- 41:55two the Bible and John Kennedy here's
- 41:57what zigg says if you help enough people
- 41:59get what they want you can have
- 42:02everything you
- 42:04want if you help enough people get what
- 42:06they want you can have everything you
- 42:09want now wanting everything you want we
- 42:12call that
- 42:14self-interest but it's it's okay to have
- 42:17self-interest if you do it in a positive
- 42:19way by helping enough people get what
- 42:21they want you can have everything you
- 42:24want now you can accomplish all that by
- 42:26learning this next skill called
- 42:28recruiting and I learned it and it made
- 42:30me fortunes so now I've got three skills
- 42:33milking cows making sales and
- 42:37recruiting here's the next skill I
- 42:39learned that paid big money organizing
- 42:41once you got a few get them to work
- 42:43together see and that's magic getting
- 42:44people to work together is Magic now yes
- 42:47it's challenging like having some you
- 42:49know several members of your family
- 42:51getting them to work together is
- 42:52challenging but it's
- 42:54magic getting husband and wife to work
- 42:56together is challeng in but it's magic
- 42:58when it happens but everything magic is
- 43:01challenging just got to jot that down
- 43:02everything magic is challenging but once
- 43:05you figure out the challenge and go for
- 43:06it then the magic occurs let me tell you
- 43:08how magic how magical people working
- 43:10together is let me quote the Bible again
- 43:12it says if two or three agree on a
- 43:15common purpose nothing is
- 43:18impossible just try that on for your
- 43:20mental size if two or three agree on a
- 43:23common purpose nothing's impossible
- 43:27everybody's looking for a challenge
- 43:29here's what I teach especially the kids
- 43:30here's the best challenge in the world
- 43:32let's go do it not you go do it let's go
- 43:35do it if two or three of us decide on a
- 43:37common purpose to do it nothing's
- 43:40impossible
- 43:42incredible working together organizing
- 43:45now when everybody's an independent now
- 43:47it's a little more challenging like
- 43:49having kids they've each got their own
- 43:50opinions they've each got their own uh
- 43:53Ambitions and desires it's it's
- 43:55challenging you've got a variety
- 43:57but that's what makes life the
- 43:59variety and it is in your business it is
- 44:01challenging getting people to work
- 44:03together it's like hurting
- 44:08cats you know sheep are easy sheep are
- 44:10easy but you got to try cats hurting
- 44:15cats but if you can possibly get it done
- 44:18the power is so immense when you get
- 44:21people to work together here's one of
- 44:24the powers of working together shared
- 44:25testimonials
- 44:27if I've got somebody new and you're
- 44:28there and I'm there I give them my
- 44:30testimonial you give your testimonial
- 44:31maybe what tips the scales in getting me
- 44:33a new person is not my testimonial but
- 44:35my partner's testimonial somebody I'm
- 44:37working with their testimonial got them
- 44:39shared testimonials are so
- 44:41powerful that's why getting working
- 44:43together is okay is is powerful now
- 44:46working by yourself is okay all this
- 44:48stuff is okay everybody needs to know
- 44:51though where are the
- 44:53advantages and these are some of the
- 44:55advantages I learned to organize paid
- 44:57big money here's what I next learned to
- 44:59do promote promotion now pays staggering
- 45:03money now the company comes up with what
- 45:06we call major promotions here's what
- 45:08you've got to come up with the smaller
- 45:10promotions the company comes up with
- 45:13major recognition you've got to come up
- 45:14with small recognition for your people
- 45:17around you the top five the company's
- 45:19got top five you got your own top five
- 45:22in maybe two or three categories top
- 45:23five top five top five and those little
- 45:26recog
- 45:28to reach certain levels in the company
- 45:29you have to take major steps but for you
- 45:32recognition let them take small steps
- 45:34here's one of the secrets of your kind
- 45:35of business rewarding people for small
- 45:38steps of progress rewarding people
- 45:42sometimes it's just recognition
- 45:43handshake pat on the back marri you're
- 45:45doing a fabulous job and you figure out
- 45:48what those recognitions are small steps
- 45:51of
- 45:52progress guess what promotion pays if
- 45:55you learn it well big money
- 45:57getting people to do something they
- 45:59wouldn't ordinarily do by themselves
- 46:01people will do some unique things by
- 46:03themselves but if you can figure out a
- 46:04way to say Mary if you do this and this
- 46:06she says wow I'll go for it now she she
- 46:09wouldn't have thought of that on her own
- 46:11here's what works magic it's better than
- 46:13money money is a bit unimportant here's
- 46:17what's important
- 46:20Ingenuity the best place to wake up your
- 46:23Ingenuity is what you're doing right now
- 46:27representing a unique product and
- 46:28getting customers recruiting
- 46:29Distributors and promoting and all this
- 46:31stuff Ingenuity figuring out a way if it
- 46:34doesn't work this way we'll work another
- 46:35way I used my Ingenuity made of Fortune
- 46:38my Ingenuity worked on doing all these
- 46:40campaigns the spring campaign and the
- 46:42summer campaign and the winter
- 46:44campaign this week we're going to
- 46:46recruit School teachers how many of you
- 46:48got how many of you got school this a
- 46:50school teacher week school teacher month
- 46:53I'd pick out a little category and say
- 46:54let's go for it and it doesn't matter
- 46:57what it is just dream up something so
- 46:59that somebody's got a little more
- 47:01objective to go for than just their own
- 47:03key phrase we all need to belong to
- 47:05something bigger than
- 47:07ourselves because we furnish inspiration
- 47:10for what's bigger and the bigger
- 47:11furnishes inspiration for us I learned
- 47:15promotion and to paid big money here's
- 47:17next I learned
- 47:19communication how to conduct a meeting I
- 47:22learned identification logic and reason
- 47:25attack and confess
- 47:28solution simple deals on communication
- 47:31wasn't easy for me at first I stood up
- 47:33to give my first presentation my mind
- 47:34sat back down right y'all been through
- 47:38that open my mouth nothing came out for
- 47:40a
- 47:41while but here's what I did I did it
- 47:44again just jot that phrase down I did it
- 47:46again that's the secret to how I got
- 47:47here 35 40 years later it's how I got
- 47:50here I did it once it was uncomfortable
- 47:53that first presentation was so lousy if
- 47:55I hadn't have been doing it I'd have
- 47:57gone
- 47:57home it was not that good but here's the
- 48:01secret to how I got here I did it again
- 48:03and then I did it again and then I did
- 48:05it again and I did it
- 48:08again I remember when I first decided to
- 48:10be a little more animated right and walk
- 48:12out away from the podium right get out
- 48:14from just behind the podium so I got out
- 48:17there and then I thought how do you get
- 48:20back whoa I'm stranded out here remember
- 48:24those times doing something for the
- 48:26first time
- 48:27but you learn quickly in your business
- 48:28right in your business a guy stands up
- 48:31to give his first testimonial and he's
- 48:32so nervous he forgets his own name right
- 48:35and 30 days later he wants to give a
- 48:37three-hour testimonial right you hardly
- 48:39get him off the
- 48:42stage so learn communication how to
- 48:45affect other people with words that's
- 48:47the greatest art in the world to learn
- 48:49how to affect other people with words
- 48:52key phrase don't be lazy in

- 48:58your own language wisely it can make you
- 49:01a fortune and build an incredible life
- 49:03here's three other things I learn one is
- 49:05to train training people how the
- 49:07business works and then I've used
- 49:09another word called Teach train and
- 49:11teach and only to say this training
- 49:13people how the business Works teaching
- 49:15is how life
- 49:17works because here's what all of us need

- 49:37look up a little higher than where they
- 49:39are and wish they could get there and
- 49:41Inspire them that it's
- 49:43possible here's how we Inspire by our
- 49:45own testimony if I can do it you can do
- 49:47it here's how else we Inspire by others
- 49:50testimonial if they can do it Mary you
- 49:52can do
- 49:53it getting people to see themselves
- 49:55better than they are
- 49:58getting people to see themselves richer
- 49:59than they are getting people to see
- 50:01themselves more capable next year than
- 50:03they are this year getting to see
- 50:05themselves in the
- 50:06future to help both your kids and your
- 50:09people here's what you must learn to do
- 50:10number one help people to see themselves
- 50:12as they
- 50:13are if people have made mistakes they
- 50:15got to know it you can't go on making
- 50:17mistakes and hope to achieve mistakes
- 50:19have to be corrected and you've got to
- 50:21do it with your children help them to
- 50:22see themselves as they are if they've
- 50:25messed up here's what you've got to say
- 50:26you've messed up but here's what's
- 50:28important as a parent don't leave them
- 50:30in the
- 50:32mess some parents you know tell their
- 50:34kids they've messed up and then they
- 50:36leave them in the
- 50:37mess they don't paint a better picture
- 50:41here's what you could become with just a
- 50:43couple of more changes rather than this
- 50:46here's what you could be so we must help
- 50:48our children see themselves as they are
- 50:50but here's the greatest gift to help our
- 50:52children see themselves better than they
- 50:55are to transport them not only past to
- 50:58see their mistakes but transport them to
- 51:00the Future to see their
- 51:02opportunity to see the person they can
- 51:06become my mentor had that greatest gift
- 51:08to help me to see myself better than I
- 51:10was at first it was difficult to see
- 51:12then I started to believe and that's how
- 51:14I got here
- 51:15today he said one of these days Mr own
- 51:17you'll walk into a room full of people
- 51:19and you will hear some of them say
- 51:20that's him that's the famous man I I
- 51:22said well that could never happen to me
- 51:24he said trust me if you keep working
- 51:27hard on the disciplines like you're
- 51:28doing right now that'll happen you'll
- 51:30walk into a room full of people and
- 51:32you'll hear one say that's him that's
- 51:33the famous man he saw it and he tried to
- 51:36get me to see it and now finally it's
- 51:38happened I think when I walked in here
- 51:40today I think I heard someone say that's
- 51:42him that's the famous
- 51:44man it happened for
- 51:46[Applause]
- 51:53me and if it can happen for me it can
- 51:56happen for you
- 51:57Just Master these skills to
- 51:59inspire here's what else I I learned the
- 52:02skills of building an organization learn
- 52:04to work with the people who deserve it
- 52:06not the people who need it you must be
- 52:09like life itself respond to deserve not
- 52:11to
- 52:12need it doesn't say if you need you will
- 52:15have a harvest it doesn't say if you
- 52:17need a harvest you'll have a harvest
- 52:19it's not what it
- 52:21says it says if you
- 52:24plant chances are good you'll have a
- 52:26harvest if you plant you will reap not
- 52:30if you need you will reap so we must be
- 52:33like life itself respond to the people
- 52:35who deserve it by planting by taking the
- 52:37first step even God himself says if you
- 52:41move toward me I'll move toward you
- 52:44that's the condition you move toward me
- 52:46I'll move toward you says the
- 52:49almighty now he could also say you don't
- 52:51move I don't move you say well that's
- 52:54arbitrary well when you're Gods you can
- 52:56set it up that
- 52:59way now learn to work with the people
- 53:02who deserve it not the people who need
- 53:03it now here's what's the next step teach
- 53:06people how to deserve your time teach
- 53:08people how to deserve your attention
- 53:10teach people how to deserve a phone call
- 53:12say Mary you just take this one step and
- 53:14I take two steps you take two steps I
- 53:16take five steps you don't step I don't
- 53:18step but this isn't hard now you step I
- 53:21step you respond I respond you try I try
- 53:25you make a call I back you up right
- 53:29learn to teach people how to deserve
- 53:31your time and your
- 53:33attention
- 53:34next I learn to work by group more than
- 53:39individual here's why 80% of the people
- 53:41do 20% of the
- 53:43business So 20% of the people you can
- 53:46work with individually 80% you have to
- 53:48work with by group but group is very
- 53:51powerful less
- 53:53confrontational then here's what's
- 53:55important for all of you to learn as a
- 53:57sponsor helping other people you can
- 54:00help a thousand but you can't carry
- 54:03three on your
- 54:05back you can help a thousand but you
- 54:08can't carry three on your
- 54:11back and I'm sure all of you have
- 54:13already gotten that experience even
- 54:14though you've been here a short time
- 54:16some people will try to get
- 54:17on your back that's where we got that
- 54:20expression get off what that's where we
- 54:23got that a guy discovered somebody on
- 54:25his back and said
- 54:27what I can't carry you
- 54:30get now if you're like some I see here
- 54:33you know 6 foot4 and you weigh 300 lb
- 54:36you might carry one and if if you were
- 54:39really big enough kareim Abdul Jabar
- 54:42something you might carry
- 54:46two but you can't carry
- 54:49[Music]
- 54:51three when babies are born they were not
- 54:53designed just to be carried
- 54:56babies were not born to be carried all
- 54:58their
- 55:00life someday you got to try your legs
- 55:03someday you got to try your wings
- 55:06someday you got to try even if you fall
- 55:08down you got to try cuz you can't just
- 55:10crawl around all your life you can't be
- 55:12carried all your life so as quickly as
- 55:14possible you can help a thousand but you
- 55:16can't carry
- 55:19three next don't expect the pear tree to
- 55:22Bear apples I used to try to change
- 55:24everything

- 55:53matters okay it's not the money that
- 55:55buys you a future it's your skills that

- 56:02and no ambition where are you money and
- 56:05no courage you're

- 56:10lot of Courage it's all we need I'm
- 56:13looking for people when I'm recruiting

- 56:44buy and sell or if you're in certain
- 56:46circumstances you can sell and
- 56:50buy if you've got ambition now if you
- 56:53haven't got ambition we can't cure that
- 56:54and money won't cure lack of ambition
- 56:57but if you've got a dollar and some
- 56:58ambition I'll show you how to get rich
- 57:01and even if you don't have a dollar I'll

- 1:02:51yourself people caring for people and
- 1:02:54especially that inner circle where the
- 1:02:55power is so
- 1:02:57magnificent that if you draw from it if
- 1:03:00you nourish it and then it nourishes
- 1:03:03you now here's my last comment ask for
- 1:03:05God's help we could all use a little
- 1:03:08help but my whole seminar was what you

- 1:03:16Lord have this fabulous Garden here the
- 1:03:18gardener said I understand your point
- 1:03:20but you should have seen it a few years
- 1:03:21ago and God had it all by himself
- 1:03:28so we do play a part so make this the
- 1:03:30last note now we have a chance as human
- 1:03:32beings to participate in the miracle
- 1:03:34process we have a chance as human beings
