AgelCares 2010 Veterans Day Walk Of Hope

NEW YORK CITY VETERANS DAY PARADE

NOVEMBER 11, 2010

Our troops offer their lives for us… let’s show them we appreciate their sacrifices, by giving back to them!

To give back to the veterans and to salute our currently serving military who risk their lives for our freedom, November 11th we will be walking and raising money in their honor.

One of AgelCares current beneficiaries is the San Antonio Massage Clinic in San Antonio, Texas. The clinic provides critical tissue rehabilitation for burned veterans of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Supporting the veterans is only one aspect of AgelCares. They also provide medical care and educational needs for children throughout the world. Every $15 raised allows a child with cataracts to see – saving him or her from a life of blindness. Every $25 raised cures a child of cleft palate, saving him or her from a lifetime of ridicule. Every $40 raised enables a child born with club feet to walk- without this surgery, a child that would be crippled for life.

NOW WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Welcome to the AgelCares Walk of Hope in the 2010 NYC Veterans Day Parade! For a donation of just $35 you can march in the parade. You will be given a t-shirt to commemorate the event and all of the proceeds go to veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. This is a tax deductible donation.

Join us for a patriotic day dedicated to our US Veterans who have served our country with distinction. The parade goes up Fifth Avenue from 26th to 56th Street. The route is 0.7 miles. The walk starts after the opening ceremony which begins at 10am and concludes with the wreath laying at 11am (The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month). We will send out an update of where our group will meet before the day of the parade.

The walk is scheduled for Thursday, November 11, 2010. To participate, you will need to register here. We will then send you a Walker’s Package which will guide you in obtaining sponsors and raising funds for AgelCares.

Want to support the cause but cannot walk in the parade? There is a drop down box that can be selected for our event "NYC Walk" here.

Want to see past AgelCares Walk For Hope events? This is the walk we did in Las Vegas in September.

This is an open event. Feel free to add additional invites to friends and family. But you must be registered in order to participate.

I look forward to seeing you there!

A Little Bit Of Unsolicited Advice

I recently spoke with a friend involved with a party MLM. I think you know the one I mean. It's a party. They cook for you and if you're lucky, you go home with an orange peeler. I do not mean to demean this company. I love this company. The product is great and it was the first time my wife and I got involved with MLM. She did the work and I carried the crate. Well, I spoke with this friend about the importance of recruiting because this company stresses product first. She told me that because she is not a "natural born salesman" recruiting was difficult for her. This gave me pause because I thought, "that makes recruiting infinitely better for you." Our industry punishes those with a slick salesman style. While you may be able to recruit into your opportunity at will, it won't be duplicatable for your new additions. You won't be able to build a strong organization with deep lines that way. You need a duplicatable system.

When it comes to recruiting, it is better not to try and sell them. People can spot that a mile away and they don't care for it. It's better just to be real with them. I never hold back. I tell them truthfully, "My wife and I were facing financial ruin. My wife had just been laid off from work following $75,000 back surgery. On that same day, this opportunity was brought to us. We really see it as a gift. We're using it to rebuild our lives and if you're smart, maybe you'll come along and rebuild yours."

More people are hurting today than will admit it. We have the gift. Be bold and offer it to them. Find your story like I did and make it part of your recruiting. Tell it as often as you can. Own it. If you've had financial difficulties in the past or presently have them, tell them. It may be difficult in the beginning to be that open but we need to strip away the misconceptions that have unfairly been attached to our industry due to a few bad apples. It may be hard to lay yourself out there but it's honest and people respond to it and then are able to see themselves in your story.

To Your Success
