Brandon and I just spent a week with Marshall Sylver and his fiance’ Erica at their beach house in Southern California. We were invited to go out there at the Summit, and of course, we accepted. The plan was to help Marshall with his first webinar for the launch of his new company, The Prosperity Alliance.
What an inspiring place! Waking up and looking out into their backyard of endless waves from the Pacific Ocean has really inspired me to want to take even bigger actions than the ones I’m already taking.

It’s really cool to be around Marshall. He’s just like the man you see when you are at one of his seminars: confident, smart, funny, and certainly a product of the product. What he’s helped me realize though is he is a normal guy…with extraordinary talents. And he created the success he has. By him being a product of the product, he proves that anyone can do it too. Now, I’ve been constantly working on being a product of the product as well, and I see tenfold how his techniques…when applied…really do work to help people take action and change their life. I’m more positive from the week we’ve spent here in Southern California that Prosperity Alliance is going to be HUGE!!!
With that said, Brandon and I decided not to wait to start building our alliance. We are in pre-launch right now, and yet we figure, IF NOT NOW, WHEN?!?!
And that phrase “If not now, when?” is a really great motivator to live by. In fact, it’s one of the main reasons my girlfriend joined my alliance last night. The story is incredible:
So, one of my girlfriends, Ang, has been keeping in touch with me for quite some time now. She seemed very interested in the things Brandon and I have been doing and wanted to know how she could do it too. I told her to go watch this fantastic training for FREE on our website www.sylveralliance.com.
For some reason, it was like pulling teeth, and she was always coming up with some excuse on why she was too busy to sit down and watch it. Finally I just told her straight out “Listen, you told me you wanted to know how we’ve been able to change our life so much this year, and what you can do to do the same…you really do want to know, don’t you?”
Of course she said “Yes” and so I said, “Then watch the video. And don’t call me until you do,” and hung up.
Three days went by and I got a text from her: “Sitting down with Mike to watch the video. Got some popcorn and Mike is rubbing my feet. I’ll text you when it’s over.”
Excitement ran through me…here we are, driving from California to Atlanta for the last stop on our road trip before we head home, and I am able to build my alliance from anywhere! More exciting was the fact that Ang was finally going to be able to take her own actions like I did…and I knew she was just going to love the video when she watched it!
Well, Ang didn’t wait until the video was over to text me back. She was loving the information so much she was texting me every 5-10 minutes on how awesome it was and how she wished she had watched it sooner!
When she was done watching Take Action Now, she called me up! (It was about 11:30 pm at the time) “I want in!” she said.
Well, coincidentally there was a Turning Point she could attend right away…the only challenge: she’d have to get on a plane the next morning to get to the event for the weekend. At first, she thought it seemed impossible. I mean, she’d have to cover her shifts, her boyfriend would have to call out of work, they’d have to buy plane tickets, do something with their dog, get to the airport, leave on short notice, get a hotel room, and PRAY they didn’t get fired from their jobs.
What really came to play here is the fact that many people let things like their job, or a pet, or things being short notice become their excuses…and they continue to do the same things they’ve been doing…that JUST DON’T WORK!!! The important thing to remember is IF NOT NOW, WHEN?!?! When will you change the things you are currently doing that don’t work and take action and start doing the things that will really make a difference for your life?
Well, let me tell you…Ang didn’t let all of the objections stop her! I helped her sign up for Prosperity Alliance, book her flight, told her to room with us at the hotel, and helped her figure out what to do with her dog. She called her job and told them that she had to go do something extremely important for her life and that she had to call out. Her boyfriend did the same. At 1 am, as we were pulling into our hotel in Atlanta for the Turning Point that very weekend, I was saying goodnight to Ang…excited that I was going to see her the very next day!!!
Sure enough, the next day, her shifts were covered, her sister volunteered to take care of her dog for the weekend, and they were on a flight on their way to Atlanta. All this time, I was so focused on helping Ang…and I finally realized…I had my first member of my alliance! WOOHOO! The best part was that Ang’s weekend in Atlanta really was life changing for her. More about that in the next entry though.

The lesson for this journal is that Prosperity Alliance rocks! You can build your business anywhere, any time. And the product is something positive that everyone can use. Jen took action, and I’m so proud of her. Together, we are going to help change even more people’s lives! It’s amazing!!!
