| Summer
is here! I love summer and I'm
looking forward to the trips and outside
fun it brings. My daughter starts kindergarten
this fall. School starts on August 13th,
which doesn't seem very far away. So, I've
committed to fully enjoy this summer before
the craziness of a school-age child begins.
How about you?
What does this summer hold in store for
you, your family and your business?
Have
prayer requests? We'd love for you to share
them with the CWAHM
Prayer Team.
Blessings,
Jill

FORM Your Way To Success!
When I am out running errands or attending
an event (luncheon, meeting, seminar) I
am always on the lookout for people to talk
to about my business opportunity and/or
product. I have found that by using the
F.O.R.M. method and listening carefully
I can usually find a need in that person's
life that can be met through my business
or product.
F stands
for Family: Ask about their family,
kids, etc.
O stands
for Occupation: What does that
person do for a living, what do they like
about their job, what don't they like, etc.
R stands
for Recreation: What do they enjoy
doing in their leisure time, what are their
hobbies and interests.
Lastly, M
stands for Money: are they looking
for ways to earn extra money, save for retirement,
send kids to college, go on vacation, pay
off debt.
By letting
them do most of the talking, they will give
me clues about what is important to them.
I will then zero in on a need that they
brought up during our conversation. I present
to them how my product can help solve that
need or how taking a look at my business
opportunity will resolve that issue they
might have. I know that if I help enough
people get what they want and make my life
about helping others, I can also achieve
success.

Everyone Succeeds with a Mentor
by Terri Pilcher |
“The skills I’ve
learned as an entrepreneur and a Chief Executive
Officer have been learned through mentors
and reading books. Of course, reading books
isn’t really an end all,” says
Jordan Wirsz, a 24-year-old millionaire.
How can a 24-year-old become
a millionaire when people with better educations
struggle to pay the bills?
“The only thing that
I think separates me from most people is
that I’m willing to take action to
fulfill my dreams,” he says. “I
don’t view myself as smarter, more
talented, or more cunning than anyone else
out there. I just have the passion and willingness
to take action to make it a reality.”
He never had any fear of
taking action, because he didn’t know
there was anything to fear when he started
selling helicopters at the age of 14. Like
a lot of young men, he decided he wanted
to learn to fly a helicopter. Using the
Internet, he learned as much as he could
about helicopters and decided to try to
buy a home built helicopter, because it
was less expensive.
“I found a post where
a guy had advertised a helicopter for sale,
so I sent him a couple of emails. Because
I was so interested in helicopters, I had
learned a lot about them and knew the right
questions to ask. After about two e-mails
or so, I asked the gentleman, ‘What
are you asking for the helicopter?’
He said, ‘$55,000.’” At
the age of 14, there was no way Jordan could
afford a helicopter. He wrote the helicopter
owner back and explained that he was only
14 and didn’t have the money to buy
the helicopter.
Instead of abandoning Jordan,
the man sent another e-mail, “Well,
you sound pretty intelligent. If you can
sell this helicopter for me, I’ll
give you $2,500.” Jordan says, “I
looked at that and my jaw dropped, and I
said, ‘Sure’.” The man
took the time to write up a contract, get
Jordan and his mom to sign it, and sent
Jordan brochures and a video to give him
the knowledge necessary to sell the helicopter.
Jordan went after his goal
with a vengeance. “I spent every day
on the Internet posting ads on every free
aviation classified place that I could find.
I started sending e-mails back and forth
with people and discussing things with buyers.
Before I knew it I had a buyer in Tennessee
that I had never met on a conference call
with the seller of the helicopter. A couple
weeks later I had my check for $2,500! To
me, the real miracle isn’t me. It’s
a 50-year-old man saying, ‘I’m
going to trust a 14-year-old to sell my
helicopter,’” says Jordan.
That sale enabled Jordan
to turn a corner in his life. He took that
money and lost it in commodities, but he
thought, “I’m going to go back
to what I know. I know that I made $2,500
selling a helicopter, so I’m going
to go back and do that again and again and
again.” He did. The helicopter sales
enabled him to pay his way through flight
school.
When he was 16, Jordan got
into aviation. “I didn’t have
the financial backing f my family, because
we weren’t wealthy. I had to go out
and work and immerse myself in aviation
to find my way. By doing what I loved, by
hanging out at the airport, and by talking
to all the older guys that were hanging
around the airplanes, I had opportunities
to listen to what they were saying, and
I took that seriously,” Jordan explains.
“You’ll find
that people really open up to you if you
just listen,” he adds. He helped them
wash and wax their airplanes and ask about
different parts on the airplane and what
they did and how they worked. This knowledge
enabled him to open Extreme Aviation, a
full online store that sold helicopter and
airplane parts. He sold that company when
he was 18 and became a commercial airplane
pilot.
Another friend became a mentor and invited
Jordan to invest in Las Vegas real estate.
He tried it out, loved the business, packed
up his things, quit his job flying, and
moved to Las Vegas. “I started learning
the real estate finance game, and it took
off from there,” he says.
To get a mentor, “just
be genuinely interested in what people have
to say and the subjects they want to talk
about,” Jordan suggests. “Ask
questions, but be very courteous of their
time and understand that other people aren’t
there just to ask questions for me. It’s
really important to be very respectful of
someone else’s time.”
Today, Jordan owns Diamond
Bay Investments, and his first book, The
Maverick Millionaire, appeared on the market
June 1. Jordan adds, “I wouldn’t
be where I am without mentors.”
