Don't Let Your Platinum One Destinations Business "Fall" Into a Slumber

Brrr! When I left the house this morning I definitely knew that fall was here. Heater on, coffee in hand, I reflected on the fact that the hectic days of summer were over.

This is the time of year that I like best in my P1D business. As the days get shorter and darkness comes sooner people tend to become a little more homebody-ish. Traffic picks up, business picks up, and as a result the paychecks increase.

Take advantage of this time and work your business like crazy. Yes, I know all of the great fall shows are on but do you really need to watch another episode of "Desperate Housewives"? Do you really think the big money makers in Platinum One Destinations and the SMG are sitting on the couch night after night.

It is so easy to fall into the same routine as the other 98% of the population. These are the people who say they want to make a change. These are the people who say they want their business to succeed. These are the people who say they want financial freedom. These are the people that don't do anything about it.

The other 2% are the people who take advantage of the little things. The people who not only learn but apply what they learn. The people who are not afraid of hard work. The people who are doing the exact opposite of the other 98%.

I want to see you succeed but only as much as you want to succeed. The way that you work your business will tell me what you really want. I will be there to mentor and guide you- if that is what you show me you desire.

This is one of the best times of the year for home based businesses. How excited are you to be a part of Platinum One Destinations? Then dig deep and create the success that you deserve.

TO YOUR SUCCESS!

The Break Free and Nettrav on Us Give Away promotion will begin this evening and run through the duration of the fall summits.

A true team atmosphere is present at the Summits where people from top leaders to potential team members come together to share their enthusiasm and belief in a business that is taking the nation by storm with its cutting edge features.

As home based businesses become so much more automated with the technology available today, the Summits provide the "high touch" that is missing in so many other businesses. People come to share, to learn, and most importantly to have fun with people whom they may only know over the computer or on the phone. Strong friendships are formed and people walk away from the experience truly impressed with the level of professionalism and synergy found at the event.

Platinum One Destinations- The Significance of September 2nd

Are you ready to see your Platinum One Destinations business rock? Tomorrow, September 2ND, marks the official beginning of one of the busiest times in the home business industry. The kids are back in school and stay at home moms are ready to make some money during those daytime hours. People are done with their summer vacations and realizing they need to buckle down. The days are shorter and have less daylight leaving people more time inside looking for things to do.

What can you do to kick your home business with Platinum One Destinations into high gear? First, start with a plan. The Synergy Marketing Group has created a 90 day action plan to assist you in setting your goals. This plan will then guide you from start to finish in what you need to do to reach the team building goals you have set for yourself. Putting this 90 day plan into writing will help you to solidify your commitment to your goals.

Then, couple your P1D 90 day action plan with the D.M.O. or Daily Method of Operation that is located in the Universal Blueprint. The D.M.O. further breaks down your goals to a daily basis, guiding you through activities that if repeated will over time build the business success that you are seeking. It is a simple formula- one that has been proven time and time again within the business and the team.

Now that you have gotten the mechanics down of what you are going to do, the next question is when. Make sure that you have blocked your time off for your business and have set your goals accordingly. Do not try to fit full time goals into a part time business and on the same token don't short yourself in making a part time goal for a full time business. Know how much time you need to set aside to work your business and then work smart, not hard. You want to be doing money generating activities as much as possible during the time that you have set aside for working your Platinum One Destinations business.

Maintain consistency during the next 90 days. Keeping this consistency will help you to gain the momentum that you need to build your business successfully. If you are able to work your business ten hours a week try to do it two hours five days a week and not five hours two days a week. This will help you to stay in the flow, keep in daily contact with your pipeline, and to guide people through the steps necessary for a decision to join your team. Diligently stick to what you have planned and try your hardest not to let life get in the the way of building your business.

Finally, stay plugged in. Since the Synergy Marketing Group has done such a great job in setting up options for you to guide your potential team members to, your best bet is to know what those options are and how to use them. Familiarize yourself with the marketing flow, be a presence on the calls and at the Wealth Building Events, and step out. Get involved- give a testimony, attend a Summit- and become part of the team. Platinum One Destinations has been built on a great team atmosphere and will continue to be that way. Staying tuned in to what is going on makes it so much easier to build your business and build it quickly.

Each of the factors outlined above are key in growing your Platinum One Destinations business and earning the success that you deserve. Make sure that you keep each one a factor in your business- missing just one may by the key that is holding you back. At the end of 90 days take look back and if need be make adjustments to your plan. After a few cycles of this you will be rocking your way to the top of P1D.

Platinum One Destinations- The Last Synergy Summit For the Summer

In less than two weeks the Synergy Marketing Group will put on their last round of Synergy Summits for the summer. Taking place in Washington D.C., Minneapolis, MN, and San Francisco, CA the Summits will be held on June 28th. The Summits have been growing since their inception early this year and provide Platinum One Destinations members with an incredible opportunity to not only promote their businesses but to gain training and form long lasting connections with other P1D members.

This month the themes are as follows, Washington D.C., Time Freedom Today – A Capital Idea!", Minneapolis, MN, "Double Your Business & Double Your Fun” In MN Twin Cities!, and San Francisco, CA, "Escaping Alcatraz and crossing the Golden Gate Bridge". At every event the speakers cater their presentations in the Getting Started Right Trainings around those themes. The themes mix things up a little and make sure that things don't get dull for those who go to the Synergy Summits every month.

Geared towards putting the personal back into the Internet world of home business, the Synergy Marketing Group uses the Summits to further the term "High Tech, High Touch" that is frequently used when describing Platinum One Destinations. This month one of the trainings that will be the same at all three events is the exclusive "How To Turn $148 into a strong six figure yearly income with residuals." This will be presented during the afternoon training period.

In addition to seeing the business presentation live and getting great training, the Summits provide a place to increase their belief in their business with Platinum One Destinations. Meeting the leaders and instructors within the company and realizing that they are regular people helps to show that anyone can do this business. Bouncing ideas back and forth with people you do not talk to on a daily basis can trigger new ideas for marketing, advertising, and prospecting. And as always, the more you learn about P1D, the more loyal you become.

This will be the last Summit held until September and may prove to be the best one yet. Business executives, stay at home Moms, or blue collar worker- this is one event not to be missed. So pick the place and go see what Platinum One Destinations is all about.

P1D- Putting the Summer Heat into Your Platinum One Destinations Business

Wow- is it summer already? It seems just like yesterday that it was the holiday time and we were all wishing for it to warm up. Well, now the heat is here and it is time to turn up the heat on your Platinum One Destinations business too.

Summer is the time for trips and travel, for pools and sprinklers, and for BBQ and family outings. There are two ways you can be looking at your business and I am going to show you the way to turn a typically slow time into a time you look forward to every year. A time for you to take advantage of our awesome P1D and Nettrav travel business, turning it into dollars in your pocket and some extra trips for your family.

As seasons go, I have found that summer is typically the slowest time of the year. I know that it is easy to get caught up in all of the fun activities of summer, and even easier to put calls on the back burner in favor of a trip to the pool or an outing to the playground. From the time we were kids we have looked at summer as a time for fun and play. With your P1D business you call your own shots, only the truly motivated keep at it as the whisper of fun beckons.

Sometimes, looking at it a different way helps. Looking at it from a potential team members perspective you will see that many teachers are on the computer looking for a way not to have to go back to the classroom. There are a lot of parents who faced with the daunting task of finding childcare for their now out of school kids know that there must be an easier way. And then there are those college kids who are out of school for the summer and are having an increasingly difficult time finding a job that is going to pay them enough to not only live on for the summer but to have money to go back to school with.

All of these scenarios and more add up to one thing. People who typically may be too busy to look for a home business now have time on their hands to search for the right opportunity- enter Platinum One Destinations- and then have the time that is takes to get trained and up and running. Then once it is time to go back work or school they can easily fit in the couple of hours a day needed to keep their business going until they can work up enough to quit their job.

Looking at it from a business prospective is even better. I know how easy it is to go do the fun things and I am sure you will agree. But think of how many other people in home businesses that are in the same situation are forgoing the work for the fun. So that makes the normal ratio of 60% of people who don't call the leads they purchase even higher. People are getting less calls and when you stay on top of your business you can really capitalize on others laziness and lack of effort.

Times are getting tougher by the month as gas, groceries, power all rise. I ask you- how serious are you about making your Platinum One Destinations business work? Are you using the new tools set in place to promote Nettrav? Are you staying plugged in to all of the things that the Synergy Marketing Group have in place?

Summer is a time for hot weather and cool pools, but it is also a time to turn up the heat on your home business. Stay focused get your business items done and then go enjoy the summer.

NetTrav and Platinum One Destinations- Believing in Your Business

Belief. The definition of belief according to Merriam-Websters Online Dictionary is a state or habit of mind in which trust or confidence is placed in some person or thing. In working your Platinum One Destinations and Nettrav business belief comes in play on several different levels and in several different places. Your industry, your company, your marketing system, your mentors, yourself- having faith in each of these components is what is going to assist your home business in growing to its potential.

Belief is not something that you can just all of a sudden have. However, until you have the unwavering, never failing, absolute knowledge that what you are doing and what you are creating is going to succeed, you can work on growing that belief until it reaches that complete level. And just how do you do that? By learning, by borrowing, and by confidence.

Let's start with your industry. As a member of Platinum One Destinations and Nettrav you belong to the ever growing industry called network marketing. Network marketing has helped to create more millionaires than almost any other industry. Network marketing is a way to leverage your time off of the effort of others to create income- no longer trading time for dollars. There are many, many different ways to increase your belief in this industry. Do research- read stories, articles, and books about the subject. Just this month Success magazine had a great article on direct sales and home based businesses.

That leads to our company- Platinum One Destinations. An accredited member of the BBB, P1D strives to keep its members up to date. They have been making incredible hires with leaders within the required fields with the appointments such as Alexander Anolik as attorney. The Platinum Platter calls also serve as a way for the leaders to keep its members informed about progress. By plugging into these calls and all of the information within your members only back office that is found both on your Platinum One Destinations and Nettrav sites you will soon create that unwavering faith that this is a strong company there for its members.

Learning about the product offered by Nettrav and Platinum One Destinations is also going to increase your belief is this business. Never before has there been a direct marketing company, let alone any other company, that offers its members such a distinct advantage in the travel industry. With the placement of the membership levels, first class travel available before only to the very rich is available to everyday middle class individuals. To be able to receive wholesale prices on some of that travel just makes this option even more mouthwatering. Nettrav is another component in itself- innovative and practical for an everyday user.

Being that there was a marriage of two companies in this business gives a distinct advantage with our marketing system. P1D's marketing arm, the Synergy Marketing Group, is not only a support system but a group on individuals rooting for your success just as strongly as those that head up Platinum One Destinations. Combining incredible websites, back office training, several support systems to guide your prospects to- all of these should show you that the SMG has no other objective than to assist you in creating your success. That knowledge alone should give you a strong belief in the system you are using.

When you chose your Platinum One Destinations and Nettrav Business, you not only liked the business itself by most likely formed a bond with your mentor and trainer. Strengthening that bond and forming additional ones with others leaders in your business is going to help you in your faith of P1D. You must be teachable and trainable. You must listen and put into action those of your mentors. Following the guidelines handed to you will assist you in learning hands on about business building. The more you learn, the more comfortable you become. The more comfortable that you become, the stronger your belief.

The final step in creating faith in your Platinum One Destinations business is you. You have to believe in yourself and the ability to make your business a success. If doubt is in your mind you have to take steps as quickly as possible to banish it. Even a tiny seed of uncertainty can hinder you moving forward in your system. In addition to the self confidence training that is available from mentors within the Synergy Marketing Group, there are many, many people you can learn conviction in yourself from. Read books, attend seminars, listen to cd's on self improvement. However, don't stop there- you have to put the items learned into action.

Belief in all of these items will not come overnight. As you learn, as you plug in, as you evolve so will your faith in your P1D business. Whether you focus on building a team, using Nettrav as your main income source, or just retailing the memberships, building conviction in all parts as mentioned above is crucial to your success.

So what do you do until you have that unwavering, focused, never ending belief? You borrow it. Borrow it from others who do have it until one day you will wake up and realize that you know deep within yourself that your direct sales business with Platinum One Destinations and Nettrav has not only giving you a incomparable marketing system, but a strong group of mentors, an excellent product, and that you are a strong business person who is going to do nothing short of reaching your goals.

Platinum One Destinations- Who Do You Market Your Business To?

One of the biggest questions people ask when looking at not only Platinum One Destinations but every other home business, is how do you find people to present the opportunity to and how do you get them to look at what you are offering? Unique to P1D is our marketing system used by the Synergy Marketing Group. The MAC system guides people through the information from start to finish but no matter how good your system is you still have to get people there. Those people are made up of three different groups- your warm market, your lukewarm market, and your cold market.

Your warm market comprises of the people in your circle of influence. These are people that you know on at least an acquaintance level like your family, your friends, people from your church, from your bowling league and so on. This group is also who most people find it the most difficult to approach. Whether it be fear of criticism or lack of confidence there is usually something holding one back from presenting their opportunity to the people they know. However, if you take a look around at the people who are the most successful in home businesses most, if not all, of them have people from their warm market in their business.

On to your lukewarm market. These people may be people that you meet in the grocery store, they may be a friend of a friend, or they could be someone you sit next to on a plane. Most marketers use what has been coined the "three foot rule" when marketing their business. Since Platinum One Destinations deals with travel it is very easy to introduce as it is often a topic of conversation. Don't be shy in starting up a dialogue with strangers. You don't have to bring your business up during every conversation but the more people you talk to the more that you expose your business.

Your cold market comprises of people that you do not know. These may be names of people who you purchased through a lead generation agency or someone who calls you off of a flyer. Sometimes these people are the easiest people to speak with. Since you do not know them and may never speak with them again that fear of not saying the right thing is not present. You can get on the phone and after speaking with them direct them to your system that discusses the Platinum One Destinations business. If they see an opportunity for themselves then great. If not, no skin off your back.

No matter which group you are speaking with one of the most important things to remember is that it is not about your business but how they want to change their lives for the better. Platinum One Destinations can be the answer that people were looking for but if they are approached in the wrong way and you shove your business in their face it wouldn't matter if it could make them a million dollars tomorrow. Find out about them and their needs and goals and then show them how P1D can help them reach those goals.

Platinum One Destinations- Scam or Not?

You may be looking at the Platinum One Destinations business wondering how to decide whether it is legitimate or not. Thoughts such as "Is this a scam", "I don't want to get burned again" or "I am just so skeptical" may be running through your head. And with good reason. In today's Internet society there are a lot of home businesses and network marketing opportunities that are just out there to take your money without giving you a true product. Well, relax- I am here to give you some information to verify the legitimacy of Platinum One Destinations.

First, we offer a great product. Whether or not you want to work a home business or if you just want to travel first class you are looking at an opportunity that you will be proud to offer. A product that you would sell to your mother, father and even your grandmother. A product that is going to change the travel industry as it is known today. Platinum One Destinations is offering a first class service virtually unknown to those who are not wealthy. High tech, high touch- every detail is covered.

Secondly, we are a company. A company with a headquarters, with offices, and with an established staff. We have agreements that we follow so that everyone working in Platinum One Destinations as an independent distributor has the same guidelines to follow. We all sell the same product, at the same price. There are customer service numbers and emails for you to send questions and challenges to. We have millions of dollars behind making Platinum One Destinations and Nettrav a household name.

Thirdly, we have a support system that is rivals any other support system in the home business industry. The Synergy Marketing Group is the marketing arm of P1D and they have gone through great lengths to provide an extensive, yet simple to use system to show the business to prospective team members. We provide weekly team calls, hours of training in our back office, weekly live dial calls, additional Synergy University trainings, our daily Wealth Building Events, and our ever growing Synergy Summits. In addition, our websites provide a complete overview of the entire business model.

All of these serve as a validation that Platinum One Destinations is a solid legitimate business opportunity. You will easily move forward in your business once you increase your belief in home businesses, your business, your product, your team, and yourself.

Some things to keep in mind when researching the P1D opportunity. Watch for people who proclaim that Platinum One Destinations is a scam. Look at their reasons behind what they are saying. Are they putting down this business opportunity only to direct you to theirs? Have they ever been a member of P1D themselves? And if they were a member what gives them reason to say this business is a scam?

No matter what business, whether it be Mary Kay or Avon, IBM, or Ford Motor Company, all successful in their own right- they will have people that are dissatisfied with them. It is your job to pick through the information to determine what is truly significant and what is not.

Representatives of Platinum One Destinations want you to be comfortable with your choices and your decision to join this business. Once you take advantage of the wealth of information provided by the Synergy Marketing Group you will certainly see that this business is not a scam but a vehicle to take you to your dreams.

Platinum One Destinations, NetTrav, Synergy Marketing Group- 4 Tips to Avoid a Scam

In today's' society you have got to be careful not to get scammed. When introducing people to my Platinum One Destinations business that is the biggest fear that I seem to encounter. People will say things like, "I have been scammed" or "I am not looking to get ripped off", or "I shouldn't have to pay money to make money".

First and foremost- do your homework. Whatever business you are looking at whether it be P1D or not you have got to look at the information. Read everything you can, ask questions, and make sure you understand the costs before getting started.

Here are a few ways you can look at the Platinum One Destinations Information:

Article on Platinum One Destinations from True Wealth Magazine

Second, talk to some people in the business to see who you will be working with. Have a few phone conversations and find out how closely your team will work together. Ask what training is in place and how you can access it. Be wary of businesses that want you to purchase before they will talk to you.

Here are a couple of ways to meet people in the Platinum One Destinations home business:

Contact me Bob Biss at my toll free voice mail 800-576-2790 or email me at bob@gop1d.com

Thirdly, be nervous of guarantees. A lot of the scams out there guarantee that you will make a certain income almost immediately if "you follow their formula to a T". No one can guarantee that you will make money. If you sit on the couch and do nothing your going to make nothing. If it were that easy everyone would do it. However, most home businesses do have a good system that you can follow and if you do it will assist you in making money faster.

Lastly, realize that all home businesses are not scams if they want you to make an investment. If you are going into business for yourself it is going to cost you. It will cost you your time, money, and energy. However, you should be able to find out all of the costs upfront so that you know what you are getting into. With Platinum One Destinations you can position yourself to make money by investing anywhere from purchasing a Nettrav and affiliate membership for $150 to getting the Platinum membership package at $15,000. How little or how much depends on how little or how much you want to make.

Platinum One Destinations: Accountability in Your Business

You have entered into a journey of free enterprise in your Platinum One Destinations business. A home business that is your own, where you call your own shots, you make your own hours, and you control your own destiny. But now the question of accountability comes up. Who are you really accountable to in your home business and how can that accountability help you or hurt you?

What exactly is accountability? As defined by Merriam- Webster's Dictionary accountability is an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one's actions. In your home business this may mean being responsible to yourself, to your business partners and teammates, and to the business that you are representing.

Let's start with being accountable to yourself. Your home business is now your livelihood- whether it be full or part time- and you must decide what you are going to make of it. How are you going to set yourself up to be sure that you accomplish what you set out to do in your P1D business? Do you have the self motivation to do what it takes everyday or are you one to procrastinate unless you have someone looking over your shoulder?Either way it is best to set yourself up early on with a checks and balances system. In setting this up not only are you following a guideline for your business but you are also setting up habits that will assist you as you move forward everyday. With this guideline you are able to end each day seeing if you accomplished what you set out to do, keeping your finger on the pulse of what is working for you and what is not, and holding yourself responsible for the steps you are taking in running your business.

This outline can be as simple or as detailed as it needs to be depending on your personality. Some examples of what can be in your guideline can include: the number of people you are going to connect with and introduce your business to, the number of hours you are going to protect to work your business, a specific email you are going to get out to your pipeline, the number of calls you are going to make, what personal development you are going to do for the day- the list can go on and on.

In making this list keep in mind that you want to keep your daily goals attainable yet a little uncomfortable. This will keep you growing but yet not discourage you by being out of reach no matter what you do. Don't beat yourself up if you do not cross off each and every item. Instead reflect on why you didn't get to that item and figure out how you can get to it the next day.

As you make yourself accountable for your personal actions in your home business, you are leading up to your responsibility to your team members. Whether you are in the position of being a team leader or not, you have certain duties that come with being a professional business developer. Each business is different in how it is run, but in Platinum One Destinations, like most other home businesses, success is derived by duplication. To be able to reach this point you have got to decide what your role in your team is going to be and how responsible you want to make yourself in assisting others to the success that they desire.

Now, as the old saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make them drink, the same is true for your team members and the success they have for their business. You are accountable for your actions and your actions alone, but your actions will determine how others respond and become responsible for themselves. People follow what they see and what they learn so in being accountable to yourself and your team you are teaching your team to be accountable to themselves and their team.

So in what ways are you accountable for the contribution of your team? First, don't take on a duty that you cannot perform. Whether it be running a team forum or prospecting clinic, giving a presentation, making an appointment for a three way call be organized enough yourself to know that you are going to be able to be there. Yes, emergencies do come up but in today's society of high tech you can conduct the business you appointed yourself to almost anywhere.

Next, share what you know and what you learn. Keeping important knowledge to yourself is not only being selfish but holding your team back. If you learn something exciting and good for your business share it. In turn you will receive information others have learned increasing your knowledge and shortening your learning curve in your quest for success.

Finally, set up an accountability plan within your team. Many team leaders within Platinum One Destinations encourage their new business partners to send them a daily email. This is not to micro-manage but to teach people how to become accountable to themselves and really examine what they have accomplished in a day.

Sometimes, you may believe that you are really getting less done than you think but until you put it down on paper you do not realize what else you could have accomplished that day.Your final accountability factor lies in your responsibility to the business that you are representing. Although you are in free enterprise you are most likely still selling a companies products or services and therefore should still conduct yourself professionally. Treat your business as a business and others will respect what you do and who you represent. Do not misrepresent to people what you are selling, the price you are selling it at, how it works, or any other aspect of your business.

Integrity becomes an important factor in your accountability. Be true to yourself, true to your team, and true to your business. The key to making your business work and expanding your team is setting up your responsibilities from day one. Determine your strengths and weaknesses and work on them both.

Accountability-the willingness to be responsible for one's own actions. Use this and you will master one key to becoming successful in your home business.

Platinum One Destinations: Confidence In and Out of Your Business

got the idea for this post while making calls for my Platinum One Destinations home business. What one woman said to me really touched me down deep and made me want to do anything I could, whatever I could, to make her see in herself what I could tell was a strong inner core.

Confidence. Just saying the word can bring a straightening of my shoulders, the slump out of my back and the strength back to my voice. Confidence- a word that can make you or break you in your P1D business, your relationships, your work- in basically any area of your life.

What this woman said to me was this. "I am 37, a stay at home mom of four kids, with no skills who is going through a divorce. I don't want to work for $8 an hour but I cannot find anything that I would be good at." No skills, no skills- just managing four children to me is an amazing task. I get overwhelmed by just one some days and cannot even imagine two let alone four. Stay at home moms have so many skills, skills they do not even know that they possess. Authority, organization, compassion, and the ability to multitask just to name a few.

While I disagree with what she is saying, I can understand and really empathize with where she is coming from. Going through emotional turmoil, whether it be a divorce, losing your job, feeling financially out of control, or feeling like you have lost your purpose can have a toll on your confidence and your self worth. What matters though is not where you came from but where you are going to go.

There are so many people in this business who took that leap of faith and whether they lacked confidence in themselves or in the skills in this business, I get so excited to see what they have made and where they now have focused their lives now that they are a part of the Synergy Marketing Group.

Carol McCord was a stay at home mom for many years when her husband lost over half of his income as a pilot due to 9/11. Carol went looking to get back into banking after holding "fun" jobs in a dress shop and found that banking had changed in twenty years and that she couldn't get a job paying the $30,000 that she had been making when she left. She started in Platinum One Destinations and she will be the first to say that she had no confidence in herself and her abilities to make it. Three and a half years later she is now one of the top income earners in our business.

Due to a son who was born with some health problems, Brett Waddell had to find another source of income then cleaning the kitchen grease hoods. While he made good money he was away from his family at all hours since he couldn't do his job unless the restaurants were closed. His challenge- he really didn't know anything about computers. He barely knew email, he didn't know how to copy and paste.His solution was plugging into the system that the Synergy Marketing Group provides for members of Platinum One Destinations. Within a short time Brett gained the skills and the confidence of being on the computer and now not only has he had several $20,000+ months in his business, he also runs the morning motivator Monday through Friday. It is his way of helping others gain the confidence and motivation they need in their business.

Holly Marshall was no stranger to home businesses but her lack of success and her mounting bills had gotten her to the point where she felt like a failure. It seemed no matter what she tried it didn't work. Her self esteem was shot and her house was in foreclosure. Enter Platinum One Destinations. She knew in her gut this was the one that was going to change things around. Digging deep she found the courage to borrow the money from a family member to get started. She was right it. P1D was the right one and now she has not only gained her confidence back but has remodeled her house now that it is out of foreclosure.

These three examples show me that no matter where people come from, no matter what their circumstances it is possible. When I speak with people on the phone that have seemed to have lost their zest for life and their confidence in their abilities I just want to show them story after story and hope that they realize that it can be done.

Whether they come into Platinum One Destinations or not all that I can hope for is that maybe one word or one sentence that I say will give them back that hope again. The hope and the faith and the belief that THEY can achieve anything they want to. And if that gives them the confidence to move forward in any direction than my day was well spent.

Platinum One Destinations: Synergy Summits Make it Personal

Platinum One Destinations is getting ready to have their second round of Synergy Summits in less than two weeks. What are these Synergy Summits and how can they improve your business? Designed to be a face to face presentation and training event, Synergy Summits are held on the third Saturday of every month in three locations across the country. Spread out- east, mid, and west coast- they provide a close location for almost anyone in any part of the United States.

Created by the marketing arm of Platinum One Destinations, the Synergy Marketing Group, these events offer just another way that has been set up to create business presentations and training opportunities for their members. The day starts out with a business presentation given by one of the top leaders in the business. A question and answer period follow, then new sign ups. In March there were several new members who signed up on the spot- one even having her first training sale immediately after signing up.

The afternoon is a jump start for new business partners and a kick in the pants for existing members. Several of the top leaders will speak at the event in each of these locations. The subject matter is meant to assist members in building their business and on personal development. These top leaders have a proven track record in Platinum One Destinations and to be able to meet them in person gives prospective members insight into the fact that they are normal everyday people- just ones making a great income from home.

The evening rounds out with a social event. This provides a fun atmosphere for members to get to know each other, trade stories, and create new ones. It makes a business that is mainly phone and web based in one word- real. Strong friendships form, new ideas are traded, and a great time is had by all.

A potential business partner will gain the following benefits by attending a Synergy Summit. They will meet top leaders and members of Platinum One Destinations and they will have an outstanding overview of the business opportunity. They will see the excitement that is a part of the Synergy Marketing Group on a daily basis.

The Synergy Summits are just an added feature to an already outstanding marketing program. Formed by proven professionals in the network marketing arena, the Synergy Marketing Group stays one step ahead of the crowd. Couple that with an incredible product and you have a match that cannot be beat.
