Lessons From Drew Brees

There are some great life and business lessons in Drew Brees winning the Super Bowl and the MVP...


BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, USE OTHERS' DOUBT TO FUEL YOUR FIRE
- 4 Years ago Drew had major surgery on his throwing arm... the San Diego Chargers decided to let him go in favor of a youger, taller QB... he chooses his words carefully to describe the situation... but make no mistake, it's fueled his fire!...

YOU MUST BE A CHAMPION IN YOUR HEART BEFORE YOU EXPERIENCE THE BIG VICTORY
- Now the masses will be on the Drew bandwagon, the "experts" will crown him as one of the best... but we knew it all along, and SO DID HE. "Champion" was an identity Drew owned in his heart BEFORE it was played out on the field...

EXPECT ADVERSITY; FIGHT FOR YOUR BIRTHRIGHT
- Just because Drew had a destiny didn't mean that it came easy! He had to fight! In the NFC championship game, it was a bloody, overtime victory against the Vikings. In the Super Bowl, Peyton and the Colts jumped out 10-0 (can you hear the naysayers at this point?); but Drew and his teammates continued to aggressively pursue their destiny, outscoring their opponent 31-7 from that point forward...

BE A TRUE PROFESSIONAL AND MASTER OF YOUR CRAFT
- Drew is known for being in the film room early and late, meticulously studying defenses. His off-season workout routine is rigorous and consistent. He's taken quarterbacking to another level with his mastery of the game and placement of the football...

CARRY YOURSELF WITH HUMILITY
- On his way to victory, Drew has always been gracious and humble, always complimenting those around him. In victory, he did and will continue to do the same. He is a family man and a giver, his walk is strong...
CHAMPION A CAUSE BIGGER THAN YOURSELF
- Drew rallied his teammates to fight for the city of New Orleans, to raise them up and give them VICTORY! He's painted that vision since he got there in 2006! He fought for a purpose beyond himself...
LIFT THOSE AROUND YOU TO A HIGHER STANDARD
- He took on the role as THE LEADER, and has led by example since he's been there... his teammates have often spoke of his work ethic, his vision, and his intensity, and how that took THEM to another level of belief and commitment...

BREAK THE CHAINS OF THE PAST, SET A NEW TREND, CLAIM AND EXPERIENCE VICTORY!
- Before the game, the "experts" picked the mighty Colts and Peyton Manning. Before the season, they picked Tom Brady (Patriots), Big Ben (Steelers), and Brett Favre (Vikings) as likely Super Bowl Champs. But seasons change... it was time for a NEW CHAMPION! Drew fought the good fight and defeated the best along the way! He believed in HIS city, HIS teammates, HIS vision, HIS preparation, HIS rightful time to be CHAMPION!

Do you see any parallels between Drew's journey and your Advocare business? :-)

I'm sure you do. I do - we've lived them! We had our doubters and mockers. We toiled and kept faith as we watched other industries thrive during their season. We believed in our relatively unknown company while other giants of the industry thrived. From the beginning we felt we had a "destiny" with Advocare - but our destiny wasn't just handed to us... we had to fight tough battles along the way, and continue to do so! We stayed true to our core values (Charlie's vision) while buying into Richard Wright's vision of "going to work" to take our company to another level. We rallied with a few who believed like us and started a movement! Like you, we are both a PART of a movement, and are LEADING a movement. YOU are leading a movement in your own backyard. YOU are the Drew Brees of YOUR team!

I encourage you to accept your role as leader of your team, model the things that helped Drew Brees become Super Bowl MVP, and march toward YOUR VICTORY!

God is purposeful and my AdvoCare story

Unlike most AdvoCare distributors, no one introduced me to the company or had me sample a Spark.  Nope, my story seems to be rather unique.  Let me explain.

I had started working as a personal trainer, and though clients continually asked about supplements, I was never comfortable recommending any.  One day, I noticed another trainer giving his clients some AdvoCare products.  Since I did not care much for the other trainer, I opted to go on the AdvoCare website to investigate the products and company for myself.  The sci/med board caught my eye immediately, and I even recognized some of the names from having studied to become a personal trainer.  I instantly felt good about the quality of the products.  The testimonials of product users and business builders as well as the endorsers blew me away.

Having never spoken to anyone, I chose to become a distributor and ordered products based on what I read others used as I scrolled through their tesimonials.  As AdvoCare distributors know, when we sign up with the company, we have to sign up with someone.  I clicked on "find a distributor" and a few names popped up.  The names of one couple (Mark and Tricia) were familiar to me thanks to the church we went to, though we did not actually know them.  I signed on, and so began my story.

Tricia called me to welcome me, but I basically blew her off.  However, after I received a $25 check in the mail from AdvoCare following an order placed by a client, I knew I had to find out what this was all about.  God so orchestrated things that Tricia and I were about to begin a fitness class at church.  We would be co-leading this new ministry, and God so designed the circumstances that we spent a lot of time together.  Through her friendship and personal story, I decided that the AdvoCare family was one I wanted to be a part of.

Not only is AdvoCare helping me to meet my own personal health goals, and keeping the rest of my family healthy, but it is also the vehicle that will bring us financial freedom.  AdvoCare is opening up so many doors, to wonderful people, but also, wonderful places.  God has been using and continues to use my involvement with AdvoCare to encourage my own growth, my faith, and my confidence in who He has created me to be.  I am setting out to make life better for myself, my husband, my daughter, for those around me, and for those whom I have never even met.  Every moment, I have found, has been purposefully designed by the Creator.  And for that, I am very thankful.

Founder Charlie Ragus

This audio message is a replay from our founder Charlie Ragus when he addressed a large audience during a Millionaire Training in Omaha, Nebraska. The fear of loss produced after the meeting caused a frenzy of momentum and "rallied the troops" in several different regions of the United States. Within 45 minutes he teaches you what AdvoCare stands for and how you can apply the success system to achieve "life on your terms."
