The last week was spent in a confidential arbitration proceeding that I am not free to discuss. I am free to say that the Woodwards and the Brady's received word on Wednesday night that our injunction has been lifted on both the non-compete and the non-disparagement clauses. WE ARE SO EXCITED! This is one of the best birthday gifts I have ever received. We have already announced our intention of joining MonaVie when possible and now it is possible! I want to thank all of my friends for their incredible encouragement and support through one of the toughest times of my life. Now that I am free to talk about business and competition, I would like to share a few thoughts for moving forward.
1. Remember when you are joining a new MLM to always act with humility and class towards crossline organizations already in MonaVie. Our goal should be to edify their leadership and come in as students. Yes, we are excited about the opportunity, but we will let our actions speak for us not our words. Humility is much more attractive than arrogance.
2. Remember that we are not at MonaVie meetings to sell training materials to crossline groups. They have their own training systems and we must respect their training as we would expect them to respect ours. Character, Class and Competence are the three C's to focus on. Yesterday, I met with Dallin Larsen and many of the top leaders in MonaVie. What an impressive group of leaders! Leadership is about providing value to everyone you come into contact with. The leaders of MonaVie have provided incredible value to people through a great product and servant based leadership. Let's lift one another as a rising tide lifts all ships!
3. Remember to review you reasons for starting in your own business. Nothing happens but first the dream as Carl Sandburg states. What is your dream and why did you get started in your own business?
4. Let's focus on building communities of people who will move products through their communities and customers. We have an opportunity to build a million people community and to get paid great money to do so. The distributors are focused on building the communities and that is what we intend to do!
5. Get with your upline in your new business and develop a gameplan to build your business. I will be personally running PDCA cycles to develop the best training system possible to support people in building the MonaVie businesses.
6. I will be updating this Leadership blog two to three times a week. This site is a Leadership blog and any specific business building techniques or business questions should be addressed to your upline. I love the comments and discussion and plan on continuing the blog. I won't be as active because I intend to be more active in building a million people team. Building communities is the best way to positively change people's lives and through them change our culture!
I want to thank you again for the incredible encouragement and support during this valley experience. It is now time to climb the mountain. We are not Quitters - we are not Campers - we are Climbers! Are you ready to climb the mountain!!
God Bless, Orrin Woodward
