Orrin Woodward Leadership Team

Welcome to my leadership blog. Ideas have consequences and the goal of this blog is to discuss ideas of consequence. Some ideas you may agree with and some you may disagree. No worries. The only rules are that you post under your own name and that you think and discuss in a civil manner. People who attack others only prove they have reached the limit of their logic. The Bible states, "Iron sharpens iron" and we will sharpen one another by what we read, write and think. The goal of this blog is to help us identify and follow truth in all areas of our lives. I encourage you to join our leadership discussion and transform yourself and others through the renewing of our minds.

Claude & Lana Hamilton - New Hawaiian Blue Diamonds

by Orrin Woodward on Tue 09 Sep 2008 12:14 PM EDT | Permanent Link | Cosmos

Claude and Lana Hamilton dropped by in their beautiful new Monaco Signature series motor coach over Labor Day weekend. We toured through their incredibly plush coach and then sat down to talk business. Claude and Lana have increased their numbers attending seminars by over 20% by focusing on the Each One Reach One program in the last 30 days. As numbers increase, so does the volume in an organization. The average Blue Diamond Income is $466,571. The Hamilton’s have hit a new level in the MonaVie pay plan – Hawaiian Blue Diamond, which is an even higher income figure $667,352 than the Blue Diamonds! The next IDS will have the averages for the new MonaVie level, but I can tell you it is a nice pay increase from the Blue Diamond level. I believe Claude and Lana are two of the best students of the Team system and on their way to a significant impact in the entire MLM industry. Today’s readers will get a front row seat in the discussion that Laurie and I had with Claude and Lana. Laurie and I asked the questions and Claude and Lana discussed freely to help the entire Team.

O&L Question: What would you account for your massive success on the MonaVie Team?

C&L Answer: There is no magic pill for success. Many times success is just a willingness to dream bigger, sacrifice longer and work harder than the other groups. Our team has committed to pay the price to get the long-term results that we desire.

O&L Question: Have you two always been this willing to make sacrifices for your dreams?

C&L Answer: (Laughing) Not really. For the first several years in community building, Lana and I did not go to a major function. This really hurt our growth as we did not see the big picture. Finally, I decided I had to go to a major on the other side of Canada. Lana was out at sea in the Canadian Navy and I had no money to get to Edmonton. This was a real gut-check for me to see how badly I wanted my dream.

O&L Question: Wait a minute. No money, no tickets – How did you get to Edmonton from Halifax?

C&L Answer: I dressed up in my warmest military clothing (it was October in Canada) and hitchhiked. When I left my house and started walking, I thought I must be crazy. I am not recommending others to do this, but I really wanted to be at that function and it was my only option. For nearly 5 days I didn’t sleep as I walked and caught rides from truckers to the other side of Canada. That weekend was life changing for me as I realized that I could be a top leader in the community building business.

O&L Question: That type of sacrifice for your dreams is pretty rare in today’s society isn’t it?

C&L Answer: So many people criticize a winner’s commitment, but no lasting success is achieved without a price. The sad thing is that everyone pays a price whether they achieve their long-term results or not. We decided to pay the price up front so that we could enjoy the benefits over our lifetime. Many people will not pay the price up front and suffer the consequences over their lifetime. There is nothing special about us, but our willingness to dream learn, grow and change. I believe everyone can do that and that is why we build the MonaVie Team.

O&L Question: Any words of advice for our reader audience as they strive to achieve their dreams?

C&L Answer: Stop negotiating the price for success. Orrin said on one of his CD’s that success never goes on sale. If it isn’t going on sale, then earn the price for success. Before you will ever have a million bucks in the bank – you will deposit a million guts in the bank. No guts, no bucks. Don’t sacrifice the admiration of the many for the criticisms of the few. Lana and I are willing to do whatever it takes legally, morally and ethically to accomplish our dreams and leave a legacy in this world.

O&L Question: You are certainly on your way to leaving a legacy. What would you account for your depth and numbers explosion?

C&L Answer: There is no substitute for getting in front of your people to lead and teach. We are focused on driving depth in our PET’s and teaching people to build in both binary legs. Superstar to Power Player is our mantra as we travel from open location to other open locations. We are committed to be the team to beat on the Team when it comes to numbers, attitude and volume.

O&L: Thank you for stopping by today and may God Bless you on your journey to the top!

Laurie and I are so impressed with the hunger that Claude and Lana display to be their personal best. What I love about the Team is the humility of all the top leaders to continue to grow and learn. No one has arrived and we all have much to learn to reach our million people. I pray for your success on the MonaVie Team and maybe you will be sitting in the black leather chairs for a future interview on success principles. God Bless, Orrin Woodward

Orrin: thanks for sharing your conversation with the Hamiltons - we've certainly enjoyed learning from them at Major functions, seminars, on CDs' - whatever venue they've been teaching at. We all have so much to learn - and the journey starts with the first step.

And Claude is so right about Majors- it really does change you aNd your perspective. Can't wait for October 10th - but still a lot of work to do between now and then.

Congratulations Claude and Lana!

You guys are the best of the best! I know I feel that way about so many of the great leaders on the Team, but I mean it! It's just because the Team develops such amazing leadership.

I'll never forget hearing you both speak for the first time, and I always get real excited when one or more of the 12 CDs I get has your names on it!

Congrats again!

Orrin,

Orrin,

Thanks for sharing the great news about Claude and Lana! I have had the priviledge of knowing Claude and Lana for sometime now and I very much respect this couple and what they are doing to make a difference. They are truly authentic leaders!Everytime I have had the opportunity of being around Claude and Lana they have always made me stretch my thinking and deepen my desire to become a better person. They bring out the best in so many people because they first give the best of themselves.

One of the qualities I respect so much about them both is the courage they display continually. Courage is not something that a person possesses it is something that possesses a person! Courageous leaders lead with passion and you can just see it in their eyes when you are around them. They have a sincere passion for people, principles, growth, and results. Those 4 qualities fused together is what makes them such a dynamic couple!

I know this is just the beginning of the great assignments that God has in store for them. I look forward to seeing the contributions they will continue making for years to come. Great job Claude and Lana!!!

God Bless,

Matt
