No matter where I go in the country, I continue to get comments from Chris Brady and my book - Leadership and Liberty. When Chris and I read the final transcript before publication, we both felt this book would have a major impact in the culture of our country. Knowing leadership is not enough, unless it is applied to the world around you. With so many points of view on politics, economics, religion etc, it can sure help to have a book that makes you think about what you believe and why you believe what you believe. The world is changing constantly, but timeless principles will never change. Identifying what those principles are is the essence of wisdom. Look at the comments from Chris Brady's article on Leadership and Liberty and add your own comment if you have read the book. Here is a new video from Chris and I on our new book. Keep leading and learning! God Bless, Orrin Woodward

The MasterMind Event 5 is in the record books and I am still shaking with excitement from the quality of the speakers and attendees. A huge thank you to Art and Ann Jonak for their tireless efforts to lift the entire profession. Art Jonak, the Networker of Networkers, orchestrated a powerful seminar with the right mix of information, inspiration, and unification. The Networking profession has officially launched the revolution. I will give you a summary recap of the speakers for this phenomenal weekend. Each speaker brought their own style and personality to this epic event.
Randy Gage – Randy was the first six figures/month guest speakers. Mr. Gage is a scientist in studying and mastering techniques to build a network. He has broken down each step of the pattern into simple to use and easy to duplicate patterns for success. Randy started networking as a minimum wage dishwasher at a restaurant and now has educated himself to multi-millionaire post-doctorate level professional. Randy is a great example of how far you can go with hunger and commitment. I am not shocked that Randy has built a massive community that spans the globe. Jordan Adler – Orjan Saele – Orjan Saele was the third six figures/month guest speaker. Orjan’s style combined massive posture with disarming humility. Orjan’s ability to share stories that drove home points helped you ponder his message days later. Mr. Saele made over 10 million dollars in networking before the age of 30 years old! That is what I call professional results in a top notch profession. I was able to catch breakfast with Orjan on Sunday morning and I can tell you that he is as genuine off the stage as he is on the stage. I am thankful that he came over from Ken Dunn – Ken was the fourth six figures/month guest speaker. Mr. Dunn is one of the hungriest/passionate speakers in our profession. In fifteen minutes, he had me out of my seat pacing back and forth in the back of the room. In six years time, Ken went from a newbie to one of the best of the best. Ken’s passion for people and personal growth is contagious and he is still cycling up in our profession. Mr. Dunn is a name to watch as he perfects his game and reaches his near endless potential. Ken’s commitment to his team and his dreams is an inspiration to new networkers starting their journey. Donna Johnson – Donna was the fifth six figures/month guest speaker. Donna track record of leadership in this profession is unsurpassed. Over 2000 leaders on her team have achieved rank levels that qualify them for company cars. How did she do it? I listened to her for 15 minutes and knew the answer. Donna’s humble spirit and belief in people is communicated in every word and action. People are drawn to leaders who lead with their hearts as well as their heads. Like the old saying goes, “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” Donna cares and she knows and the combination has yielded top results for over two decades. Donna represents character and class that improves our whole profession. Orrin Woodward – I was the last six figure income earner invited by Art Jonak. What an honor to speak with a sold out event of some of the hungriest people in or outside of networking. There were multiple networkers in the audience making six figures per month who came on their own dime to learn. I believe so strongly that a rising tide lifts all ships and that the future of network marketing is in field unity and away from win-lose. It was an honor to share the stage with so many iconic figures in this profession. Tom ‘Big Al’ Schreiter – Tom is quickly becoming one of my favorite speakers to listen to. His self effacing style draws the audience to him and opens their ears to hear his message. Big Al is quick witted and you must listen closely to capture the pearls of wisdom that he cast. Mr. Schreiter is a model for what all company owners should strive to be – winners who walk their talk. Richard Brooke – Richard is an owner and builder of a major network. Mr. Brookes gave one of the most challenging talks of the weekend declaring that we must remove the gap between the owners and the field. Communities must not make wild product claims or income exaggerations and the companies must not attempt to own people. I believe Richard captured the future soul of networking and a model of responsible liberty that should be heard by all. Richard closed with a powerful challenge to field leaders to do what they know needs to be done. Michael Clouse – Michael Clouse was a guest speaker that shared his philosophy of success. Mr. Clouse’s story of overcoming childhood challenges to develop into one of the profession’s best communicators was awe inspiring. Michael said that people get into business with people they know, like and trust. So simple and yet so important to know when you start in our profession. Philosophy/world views are rarely discussed today in networking, but you will never rise higher than your thinking. Mr. Clouse captured these principles for all of us to improve. I could go on and on about MasterMind 5, but I will open it up to comments from any of the attendees. Remember, your actions in Networking affect me and my actions in Networking affect you. Let raise the whole tide by thinking win-win. God Bless, Orrin Woodward Tuesday, October 13

Chris Brady and I had the honor to be invited as a guest bloggers to the World Business Forum in NY City at the Mr. Hamel challenged the audience to rethink their vision of management. Every person in your organization must be part of the innovation process if your company will compete for the future. Like Peter Senge states, “A company’s only competitive advantage is its ability to learn faster than the competition.” Is your company a learning organization where people learn, grow and innovate? Or is it a bureaucracy where change is resisted and market conditions are denied? Talk is cheap and unless your company is protected by immoral monopoly type conditions, the market will vote on your company. The original management revolution was led by companies like GE, GM, Proctor and Gamble and I believe that the biggest competitive advantage you can supply your customer is a trusting relationship. If a company will do all of its business with the idea of doing for the customer exactly what you would want in that situation. It is a form of the Bible’s Golden Rule applied to business. Do to the customer what you would have your business do to you if you were the customer. The only way to do this in a big company is to get everyone engaged in innovation and ownership of your company. One person or a management team cannot serve all of your customers unless you plan on staying small. Unleash the passion for excellence in everyone associated with your firm to truly capture a competitive advantage in the marketplace. In my view of

I received an email over the weekend from the LeadershipGuru website. In 2009, I was selected as a Best of the Rest selection on another leadership list, without having any idea I was a nominee. On this list, I was informed ahead of time and your vote does make a difference. They are starting the voting for 2010 and I thank my readers in advance for their support. There is the list from last year and beneath that is a button to nominate new leaders. Here is a copy of the email. I believe Chris Brady received an email also and I would encourage writing him in also. God Bless, Orrin Woodward Dear : Orrin Woodward We are tabulating the Leadership Guru Results for the 2010 leadership Wednesday, September 9
