10 NEW Game Distinctions
Here are 10 of the dozens of distinctions we made during our live seminar in San Diego:
The NEW Game… of Business, Money and Life!
1. Welcome to the Age of Interdependence: You can’t do it alone. Your team is as valuable as your talent. Sometimes, more valuable. Assemble your team. Playing with better players makes you a better player.
2. Life is not a zero sum game: 1 + 1 = INFINITY! Don’t compromise; aim for highest and best in all transactions. If one party loses, all parties lose. Highest and best creates more pie for everyone.
3. Response-ability is NOT Optional! Control the Decision Gaps between what you can’t control (stimulus) and what you do control (response). Reaction is in the past, response is in the present. Reaction is no-choice, choice; it’s automatic. Response is a conscious choice; it’s intentional. Make conscious choices; control the decision gap.
4. If you want people to respond differently, CHANGE YOUR STIMULUS! It’s the definition of insanity to continue giving the same stimulus and expecting a different response. If you want me to respond differently, don’t try to change me; CHANGE YOUR STIMULUS!
5. Time is inelastic; watch it carefully and trade it wisely. If you earn $100 per hour, for every hour you do $10 work you must earn $190 in the next hour to break even. If you can earn more than you can pay someone to do a task, delegate it. Fill as many hours as you can with “$100/hour” work.
6. People aren’t much interested in what you sell; they’re interested in what they get. They’re even more interested in how they’re treated. If you really want to know, ask them “How do you like to be treated?” How do YOU like to be treated?
7. Don’t fall in love with your products and services (this one really pushed buttons). Instead, fall in love with what you do for people. Sell the love.
8. Put the game in motion. Get clear on what you do, why you do it, and who you’re looking for. Take a Millionaire to Lunch. Tell everyone what you do, why you do it and who you’re looking for.
9. Residual income will become the backbone of the NEW Game of Money. Network marketing will be the residual income vehicle of choice for anyone who doesn’t write, act, sing or make movies. There are few choices to generate residual income. There is no better residual income model than network marketing. Why? Low risk, high yield, tax-favored, and the most reliable and predictable source of residual income in the new game of money.
10. Ask yourself, “Are YOU your best (or most profitable) product?” Or might you be worth more through collaboration with someone else? In other words, are you a jockey or a horse? Are you the rider or the ride? Do you work for someone else, or do others work for you? Riding a good horse is as important as being a good jockey. The best jockeys ride the best horses. What’s your active, passive and residual income horse?
In the New Game, profit is everybody’s business. Make it yours.

Mitch…People *before* Profits….please!!!!
Surveys have indicated that the following needs and desires emerge for most people. To be simple and brief, I will lump them in 3 categories:
1. Survival Needs: food, shelter, clothing and also in this category
A. The Need to be Boss
B. The Need to Earn while we Learn
C. The Need to Develop Communication Skills
D. The Need for Financial Independence
E. The Need to be Healthy
2. Esthetic Needs (desires) and in this category
A. The Desire for Personal Development
B. The Desire to have Friends
C. The Desire to be Free
D. The Desire to Experience the Finer Things in Life
3. Contribution Needs
I could list many specifics, but the bottom line is the need to help others, to lead them forward, to make a positive difference in their lives. The “bottom line” is we all need to make our mark in life. We do that by making a difference, and we make a difference by operating within the framework of contribution.
PEOPLE *are* our business…not Profits!
