Lunch with Jordan Adler – What makes success

by Nick Davis on November 6, 2010

photoEverybody knows that when you have the opportunity to spend time with an industry superstar you take it.  I was fortunate enough to enjoy lunch with Jordan Adler last week.

The conversation was interesting and helpful.  Most people that are in love with our profession agree that no one has it figured out exactly but a lot of what we all do in our different teams and network marketing companies are following very much the same principles.

First let me say that Jordan is a great guy and person.  His personal story is humbling and inspiring.  He joined over ten companies during a ten year period before even sponsoring one person!  To hear the ups and downs from a person who’s team today adds 100 people per day easily is a real eye opener.

Jordan said something that you might be interested in hearing.  He said ” you can give a person the perfect simple system like we all use and they still will not be successful if they do not make the shift in their mind”.

He likened it to the movie “Karate Kid” where Daniel son made a shift of “letting go” during the final fight.  Jordan said ” you cannot teach the shift, but people must make it to reach their dreams”.

Other ways to label this intangible thing that he spoke of would be “project abundance” or “have the right attitude” or “have faith” or “expect good things” or “let go of your agenda” or “come from a place of abundance” or “let go”.  All of these sayings try to describe what happens in the heart and mind of a distributer that launches them towards a stream of success like Jordan has experienced.

I remember one day last year where I had fourteen leads/prospects call me in the same day.  My phone rang the last time at 11:00 p.m. and we sponsored four of them.  What did I do different that day?  The only thing I can think of was I had an extended prayer and personal development time.  Wow Jordan!  Just project abundance and make a shift?  Seems to be the key.

If you have never read Jordans book “Beach Money” I’d get it.  It’s Jordans story and all the profits go to charity.

Live each day to the fullest…
