Visalus I Challenge you in Houston Sept. 11th 2014
John Demonstrated Go product3 Musketeers- “My Boyfriends Back and we are going to Have a Party”
These boys got their Company back!
What do you do? I am a LID Lifter!
What is the most important thing the Table experience is doing for you?
Grid- Leadership Grid- How can I take what I am learning and pass it on?
What is the one thing that you can give to your people that can make a difference to
them in their life?
As you become a “better” leader. Every day you need to be “Other” thinking…what
can I pass on for Others?
Notice where I am taking you…
The 1st question is how followers think
The 2nd ques. is how leaders think
The 3rd question is based on reproduction (what am I giving to my following
leaders)
Leaders helping Leaders is the greatest Compounding Leadership.
What changes lives is interaction not people.
What are you going to say to the person beside you that will make them a better
person and leader?
Building each other up. Your not here to Compete with each other you are here to
Complete each other.
Abundance mindset!
You should be connecting with one another and share with each other with others.
Negative OppositeWhen I was young I got a good idea and I would hold onto it. I did this because I
wanted to be a Winner. Winners don’t create Significance…only pouring into the
lives of others creates Significance.
Holding ideas = Wins a race
Sharing ideas = Changes lives
Huge Lesson!
I am teaching you group dynamics. The increase of energy happened on the 3rd
question. The 3rd question combined two dynamics…Teaching and Learning .
Increased energy = Teaching and Learning. If there is no buzz amongst your
people then your lacking those two dynamics.
Tables are not for Telling they are for Teaching and Learning.
You don’t Learn and then Someday Teach. The greatest teaching is fresh and
authentic and real because you just learned it. Teach right away! Teach Now!
Be Visalus’s GO!

QuestionValues Displayed OR Values Driven
4. Think Like An Entrepreneur- Be Resourceful
The French economist J-B Say coined the word “entrepreneur” around 1800, saying
that “the entrepreneur shifts economic resources out of an area of lower
productivity into an area of higher productivity and yield.”
“The Entrepreneur is a essentially a Visualizer and an Actualizer.
Visualize- The ability to see opportunity.
Actualize- The ability to seize opportunity.
They are “Make it Happen” People!
“They Bring Home the Bacon rather than Belch Out the Baloney!”
Strength Finders 2.0JM’s strengths: Maximizer- Activator- Achiever- Strategic- Woo
4 out of 5 of John’s strengths are Strong Entrepreneur Strengths!

Common Characteristics of Entrepreneurs
1. Self StartersStart Early- The fastest Doesn’t Win…Starting First Does * Gail Deur
Start Fast- Think Fast- Change Fast- Fix Fast- Not “Warm Up” People
JM- “Aren’t you tired of people who always want Warm ups?!? Those who
need another cup of coffee?”
2. Work Harder Than Others“I have always admired entrepreneurs because they give up their eight-houra-day job to work sixteen hours!”
-Clay Mathile Entrepreneur and Former Owner of Iams
Secret of Working Harder- It’s Not Work!
Example:
JM Marbles…Increasing
3. Strong Desire to Win –
Example: JM College- “Let me Win”
4. Have A Nose For NumbersExample:
John has 45 different numbers he looks at monthly
How 9 of those numbers Keep Score
The four letter word in an entrepreneur’s Vocabulary is “Lose.”
They know how to Keep Score!
5. Prefer to Lead Rather than FollowEntrepreneurs are Never Followers…Too Often- Not good Leaders!
They would rather take off and lead not knowing where they are going rather
than follow.
6. Love ProblemsLook for them…Learn from them…Leverage them…
Example:
1979 Think on These Things
Chapter- “What is a problem?”
Predictors
Reminders
Opportunities
Blessings
Lessons
Everywhere
Messages

7. Want to Prove Something to ThemselvesWhat Do They Want To Prove? That They Have What It Takes.
Example:
Marysville vs Hillham
“Always prove to yourself before proving to others.”
“Its easier going from Failure to Success then Excuses to Success.”
8. Seldom Get Sick10,000 speeches missed 6
Example:
Vertigo in Asia- Broken Leg – Pulled Back
Book writing Shingles
Note: Get Sick But Don’t Give In
“Stop the If-ing and stop the Butting.”
9. Value Opportunity More than SecurityExample:
John has made 7 Major Changes- 5 Losses- 10 Tradeoffs
They Value opportunity rather than security. Entrepreneur’s don’t work for
the government.
10. Deal With the “Slaps”John’s Favorite Question with Successful People- “What was your hardest
Slap?”
11. Stay Creative When Others QuitTheir “Staying Power” is because they see the Possibilities.
Ronald Reagan- “Entrepreneurs are the forgotten hero’s of America.”
(?)5. Seek Simplicity
Example:
Educator versus Communicator
Genius- “The ability to reduce the complicated to the simple.”
Example:
Vince Lombardi- “This is a Football”
*Convention of Coaches- Elaborate Offensive and Defensive Schemes V.L. – 2
Strategies:
Offence- “Knock the other team down.”
Defense- “Knock the other team down.”
Example: JM Interview- “Your books are so simple.”
JM response: “My books are Simple to Understand but hard to Apply.”
(1) Simplistic- Shallow & Fast…Trite and Half Right. We are not talking about
Simplistic…we are talking about Simplicity…there is a big difference.
How we solve other people’s problems…”All you have to do is…”
Example:
“Leader’s are born”…”Leadership is a position.”
(2) Complex- Deep & Slow…Overwhelming
How we look at our own problems… “I have to do all of this.”
Example:
Claude
Dan R
Questions… “Am I a Leader?”…Don’t have a Leadership position.
(3) Simple- Deep & Fast…Inspiring
Example:
Leadership is influence- Nothing More- Nothing Less
Question:
“How many of you have influence over someone?”
Simple is deep and fast because it has gone through the complex.
The Secret of Simplicity
1. Values- Foundation- “What I Stand On/For” My Anchor.

2. Principles- North Star- “What Guides Me” and Gives me Guidance.
Example:
Adding Value to People Makes Them More Valuable
3. Priorities- The Main Thing- “What I Focus On”
Example:
Today I will Add Value to People
4. Systems- Freeway- “How I Quickly Get there.”
Example:

Principles = North Star/Guide
Priorities = Main Thing/Focus
Systems = Freeway/Quicker
JM ExampleValue- I value People
Principal – By adding value I value people
Priority- Value people to day
System- What is my plan to add value to people today?
5. Challenge Yourself- Challenge Others
*I have a Dream Card
*Praying for Winners
*EQUIP- Transformational Leaders
You can train Leaders but it’s a difficult thing to raise Transformational
Leaders.
“You don’t want to get to the Top…You want a mountain sooo big that you
are Climbing everyday.” “Be involved in something that is bigger than your
selves.”
