A Step-By-Step Process for Guys to Move from Zero to Hero

getting started the husband's field guide Feb 09, 2016

I remember when Cristy started working her biz. I'm a full-blown partner, now (most days!), but it wasn't always like that. 

In the early days, I wasn't involved at all. I've even mentioned the "less than stellar reaction" I gave her with she hit Silver (long story- it's in the first video of this 3-part series).

In time (after she won a trip to Hawaii and took me with her), I got onboard. It took actuallly seeing the company + walking through the farms + meeting some other guys to actually convince me. 

I'll be honest. Before that trip, I actually thought Young Living was a "ma & pa" shop. I had no reason- or evidence- to verify that. It's just some sort of assumption I carried in my head... 

While we were in Hawaii, I caught a glimpse of what could be our future reality.

I remember walking along the beach and telling Cristy, "When we get back, I'm going to help you."

She was shocked (as in, she didn't really believe me). She had the idea I write a short book to help explain to other guys what my journey had been... and how I had gone from "neutral" in her business to actually wanting to serve her and help move the thing forward.

In this 20-minute video, I pull some of the concepts from The Husband's Field Guide. That's the book I wrote after our trip to Hawaii, the first trip she won with her new business. In fact, I wrote a chunk of it on the plane, traveling back from the short mini-vaca that Young Living funded.  

 

Where we're going

My thought process for the field guide was simple (again, it was my wife's idea that I write the book, OK):

In chapter 1, I talk about Young Living, Gary Young, and my impressions of the company... after seeing it for a few days, and then studying it for a few weeks more.

In chapter 2, I discuss the history of essential oils. Where you see them in the Bible. Where they pop up in history. How we know they're not new.

In chapter 3, I unpack the basic science of the oils, as well as the unique Seed to Seal process. In chapter 4, I talk through the basics of MLMs, and discuss the economic opportunity that sits before those who choose to actively pursue the business.

Now, what?

Then, in chapter 5, from which I've based this short teaching video, I create an on-ramp for guys who want to get involved... guys...

  • who are sold on YL (chapter 1),
  • who can get beyond the idea that this is a "new craze" and realize this has been around a long, long time (chapter 2),
  • who can take on the basics of the oils and YL's incredible process of delivering them to the consumer (chapter 3),
  • who can get beyond their hang-ups of the MLM biz model stereotypes (chapter 4).

(By the way there's two more chapters AFTER this one in the book.) Enjoy the video. And, as always, feel free to post and share this with your team.
