I also agree with you 100% we need to make the time to create our own success, it has to be a priority for us, not something we may get to some day.Spoiler Alert! I plan on going into detail on this in step 3. But since you mentioned it I will touch on one of my biggest pet-peeves.  It&#039;s amazing how many people will dedicate their entire life to helping someone else achieve their goals. (IE: Working a job, for someone else creating their success story, helping them reach their goals.)When it comes to working on their own success they are only willing to devote a minimal amount of time or none at all. Then they are the same ones who sit back and complain about how lucky people are. If society would work just 10% as hard on their own success as they do at their jobs this world would be a much different place.Good to hear from you Bill and thanks for the input.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey Bill good to see you here.

I agree with you, I have taught many of these concepts over the years as a sales manager. I am also guilty of not making specific enough goals. You made an excellent point, the goals need to clear enough to create desire. Only with enough desire will we actually change our day to day behavior. Great stuff. Upon further reflection I guess I need to work on the action part. One other point I would like to make; we all have life to contend with, going to work, making a living, etc. What we all need to do is to make our desire strong enough so we move the action neccesary to succeed to the top of our priority list, only then will we find the time (or make the time) to accomplish all our goals.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi Rob,<br

The Mintz boys again following blindly behind dad and now the acquisition of our good friend Andre Maronian. Are you crazy.Let&#039;s follow the bouncing reps. After leaving ACN the Mintz&#039;s have bounced from place to place starting with a little company called CCM where he was awarded the top spot, ended up on the video only to have them kick him out for lack of production.Mr. Maronian left ACN after being a top producer for a couple years only to go to the company he used to bash from stage. The 5LINX experiment came crashing down along with all the lives of the people who believed in him.  How many of them get to move into a new company at the top spot Andre?Now we are Invado. A new company? NOPE!!!!! Just UCI under a new name and now damaged leadership. If you follow these guys you have to listen to what they are not saying.Why do they keep moving if they are the ones who can turn this company into something?Why didn&#039;t they turn around and explode CCM or 5LINX?Why do CCM, 5LINX, UCI and Invado all look a little to much like ACN?If you wanted to be with a company like ACN then why didn&#039;t you just stay there to begin with.There is something wrong here and you better look close. You will never hear it come from any of their mouths but I would be willing to bet that each one of them would take their position back in ACN in a second.To bad they burnt that bridge to the ground.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to the beginning of the end.</p><p>The ACN rejects that left for greener pastures are at it again.

It really hit home.The truth is that most people are like the Lotto group.They heard someone speak at a seminar who just quit their job and made $22,000 in their first 30 days in the business. Or they were attracted to the opportunity by another network based marketer who told them that MLM is easy, part-time work that would make them thousands a month in no time etc. If you are a smart network marketer or business owner, then you know what a load of crap all of that get rich quick stuff is.This article really resonates, Rob! Thanks!

I only stated facts that were accurate at the time the post was written. Which was a little over a year now.By your reply it sounds like they are coming around into a decent company. They are still just a little over a year old now and have along way to go before they can be considered a staple in the industry. They still have another 4 or 5 years to make it over the hump.I am in no way trying to sabotage UCI. I wish UCI and all of it&#039;s reps all the best. I actually forgot all about this review until people started commenting on it. Then one day I was told it was on Page one of Google. I never meant for it to be there, it just happened.Again I wish you continued success with UCI.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jen I appreciate your post and I am glad things are going well for you in UCI.</p><p>I am not trying to create any darkness, I&#8217;m sorry you took my post on UCI that way.

isPermaLink="false">http://robertfranta.com/?p=774#comment-732</guid> <description>Seriously! ACN reps will stop at nothing to try and savotiage UCI how threaten they must be.  You are just creating darkness on the industry with your false accusations. Yes, we are in your back yard and soon around the planet.  I started with UCI back in January 2010 before they even launched. I have managed to build a huge organization attracting prominent professionals Doctors, Lawyers, Nationally known Networking Marketing Experts, double masters, business owners, Librarians, teachers and single mothers like myself.  I am so happy I took a leap of faith with UCI.  The training and support from the co-founders and other leaders in this company has been first class second to none. Yes, we are a new company but the look and feel I can tell you are not. The support and training tools are a road map that leads to straight to success. If you have a big ego and a &quot;know it all&quot; attitude with underlining greed &amp; selfishness in your character you will not succeed in UCI. I have worked with hundreds of people and those kind of people do not succeed in life period.UCI is a multi facitated comp plan that offers products and services that are creating a historical transformational change to the Network Marketing Industry.  We have a plan that doesn&#039;t have the kind of gotchas that I found in any other companies without mentioning obvious names that I have had experienced.  I started in the industry when I was 23 in the 1980&#039;s.  I love this industry! Finally a company that has everything timing, the industries we are in and the greatest leadership on the planet available for everyone. UCI is a growing force of leaders and co-creators that are helping people and making a difference in today&#039;s economy. I can tell you from personal experience working with the co-founders they are dedicated.  It gives them great pleasure assisting everyone in the UCI family build success stories and they do it with EXTREME INTEGRITY. (UCI University is something you have no idea about Rob nor do you have all your facts straight about UCI.) I never in my wildest dreams thought I would be experiencing the kind of success that I have had with UCI. I followed the system and attracted hundreds of like minded people with a healthy happy outlooks on life. It&#039;s a life style change and a blessing for a single mother like me raising 2 teenage boys.  I have struggled for the past 12 years in corporate America working for arrogant S.O.B&#039;s that have no mercy on you when both kids are sick and you can&#039;t make it into work that day.  You see Ladies and Gentlemen the ship has come in and we have the golden ticket to climb on board. Utility Choice International is the Greatest Network Marketing Company on the planet!Beware~
There are so many negative people out there that fester on creating dramas to feed on.  If I dig deep enough into all of them I will discover a very miserable unhappy person that is floundering in an unhappy life. I guarantee you that!! The dishonestly runs in their veins with victim mentality all over them while they sit in a shoe box moving threw time. Taking taking taking from others~ Where is the love for those lost souls who fester. Back off into your world of darkness and misery~Light &amp; Love on to you~ Jen</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seriously!

isPermaLink="false">http://robertfranta.com/?p=774#comment-730</guid> <description>Ray first thanks so much for your comment. I am glad to hear things are going well for you and for UCI. I do wish you all the best and continued success with UCI.I do greatly disagree with your analogy on ACN being a blue chip with small return. While I agree 100% we are a seasoned blue chip, I can not agree ACN will provide a lower return on investment. This is in fact the exact opposite.ACN in reality is just getting going. For every service we provide, we hold less than 1% market share. For most products we hold less than 1/4 of 1%. I would say there is a lot of room for growth here. In addition we are launching new and exciting products almost every quarter. Energy is being phased in right now, ACN cellular coming second quarter of 2011 and more on the way. There is not a company out there that compares with our product or service lineup, nor is there one out there that can compete with our credibility or international exposure.Here is why ACN can out produce UCI.We already offer 10 more services than UCI nationally and internationally. So for each home I provide one service to, I can potentially provide them 9 other services. If we consider all commissions to be equal, in this example, I could earn 9 times more on each household.  Even if you cut this is half I could still earn 4 times more per household. If I am already signing someone up for energy and I have a satisfied customer why not pick up all of their home services.ACN is the worlds largest provider of home services and we are only going to get bigger.I will agree UCI has the excitement of being a brand new company, but I personally don&#039;t see a whole lot of value in that.Thanks again for your comment Ray and I wish you all the best in your business.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ray first thanks so much for your comment.

isPermaLink="false">http://robertfranta.com/?p=774#comment-729</guid> <description>Thanks for the offer Jill, however my flag is planted firmly in ACN. UCI&#039;s new offerings are likely the same products and services ACN has been delivering for years. They are basically modeling their business and products after ACN&#039;s. Which only makes sense since these products and services are used and payed for monthly by almost everyone.For the record, I never said the business model wasn&#039;t legit. My concern was the ability of the co founders to make the transition from reps to owners. There is a big difference between owning and running a network marketing company and building a big team. We already know the Mintz&#039;s can build a big team they are experts there. We won&#039;t know how they do as owners for another 3 to 5 years.You may want to take a look at ACN, we are also now in the energy game, we have a 19 year track record of success, and do business in 21 countries. no growing pains here, we are a well oiled machine.Plus our business will be featured on prime time  TV March 27th on NBC&#039;s The Celebrity Apprentice. For two hours straight ACN will be the entire focus of the show. Now that&#039;s some exposure and some credibility.I wish you all the best in your business Jill!
