10 Secrets For Success From Isagenix® Man & Woman of the Year Jay Bennett and Ellen Bradley Ganus

Earning the title of “Isagenix® Man and Woman of the Year” could cause some people to sit back, rest on their laurels and bask in the glow of their success, but it has had the opposite effect on Isagenix Millionaires and 6-Star Golden Circles Jay Bennett and Ellen Bradley Ganus. The honor has fueled their passion and motivation to help others reach higher to discover their true potential. Now you can discover their secrets to success. “Ellen and I both talked about how this recognition has given us an even greater sense of responsibility and that we represent not just our organizations, but the entire company,” shares Jay. “It has taken our level of commitment to an even higher tier.”

The pair shared their top 10 secrets for closing out the year in “award-winning” style and kicking off 2009 at a vigorous pace. You too can be your own “man or woman of the year” with these easy tips:

  1. Take the “Shortcut” to Success. What’s the quickest way to build your team exponentially? Get them in a seat at an event. “There’s nothing like meeting co-founders Jim and Kathy Coover and leaders who are committed to health, wealth and personal development,” shares Jay. “People get a bigger picture. The shortcut is the meeting and the training do the work for you by allowing others to witness the Isagenix spirit, hear the success stories and testimonials and gain the passion they need to commit to the products and business opportunity.”

  2. Take Advantage of the Season. It’s chilly outside and everyone wants to change up their routine, so encourage others to try the new IsaLean® Soups and continue to share IsaDelight™ as a super healthy, dark chocolate alternative to the high-fat versions floating around during the holidays, says Ellen.

  3. Gain a New Pair of Eyes. Sometimes it’s your own view of the world that gets you stuck in a rut and unable to move your business in a positive direction. Spend time at various events and meetings to hear different perspectives and look at things in a different light, says Jay.

  4. Get Personal. Take some time to self-reflect and find out what’s holding you back from achieving your potential. “A lot of people think they’re not being successful because they’re not following up right, not prospecting right, but in reality it’s something in their internal dialogue,” shares Ellen. “Plugging in to David Wood’s personal development programs, surrounding yourself with people who have the desire and are taking action—those are the things that will help you to succeed.”

  5. Control Your Destiny. Take control and structure your schedule in such a way to maximize your time so you can plug into events and meetings that will help you grow, says Jay. Remember that even when you’ve become successful or reached a certain goal, it’s important to attend the events and meetings to share your knowledge and support your team.

  6. Be the Economic Solution. In these tough economic times, everybody is talking about their finances. Use that opportunity to share Isagenix. “With Isagenix, not only do you save money because it’s cheaper than a regular meal, but there’s also no overhead costs to starting your business,” shares Ellen. “We currently have the best opportunity on the planet and I’m excited more than ever to be a light in a dark place right now.”

  7. 3-Step System With a Twist. With all of the new videos now available on IsaMovie.com, Jay recommends leading with a testimony from someone who cleanses, a doctor, an athlete, or a 100-Pound Club member to grab the person’s attention and then move into the traditional three-step system (connect, set an appointment and follow up). “Stay on the phone with the person during the testimonials because they’re short and then answer their questions,” Jay says.

  8. Answer the Resolution. Start planning now for how you’ll share Isagenix with those around you before the New Year begins. “Everyone’s making the resolutions to get healthy, lose weight, slow down the aging process and make more money,” explains Jay. “Look at the vehicle we have to help people achieve all of those goals — our products are unbelievable and we have an amazing wealth opportunity. We have the answers.”

  9. Live Out Loud. Discover places to meet people who are like-minded and begin connecting right away. Take classes, join clubs, attend business luncheons — just get out there and network, shares Ellen. She enjoys working out at her local gym and shares Isagenix with others at Pilates or dance classes because they’re people who focus on taking care of their bodies. She also attends conventions filled with entrepreneurs and business leaders because they want to be successful.

  10. Reach For the Stars. Create your goals for success in 2009 now. "You have to start off by being clear about your goals," says Ellen. "By creating that, you're developing your 'why' for what you're doing, which will fuel your activities." If you're looking to make a leap in rank, make a list of short-term, long-term and big picture goals. In the short term, how many people are you going to talk to this week? In the long term, how many people are you going to add to your team this year? For your big picture goal, what do you ultimately want for your dream life?
