Vol. 40 “Faith-Full Friends”- Derrick Raines & David Gooden

Leave a reply

Derrick          David Gooden

Working closely with Derrick & David at Enviro-tech International (hear all about Enviro-tech here in Vol. 31 Click To Hear “My Direct Selling Story Pt1“), driving thousands of miles together gave me the opportunity to receive the gift of learning to leave room for other people.  In doing so we can lessen the dogmas we bring to any situation and in turn are open to others and others open to us.  We touch minds, hearts and souls when we remove dogmatic thinking.

Thanks for listening!  Happy days…

Vol. 39 “Legacy”- Mike Deneka

Leave a reply

Your A Gift

Mike and I were two of the youngest Distributors at Enviro-tech International (hear all about Enviro-tech here in Vol. 31Click To Hear “My Direct Selling Story Pt1“).  After selling my distributorship and going to work at the corporate office he and I had many opportunities to work together.  Through him, and from his Dad Harold, I came to understand the importance and power in leaving a legacy.  I also came to understand that leaving a legacy is accessible to everyone and not just reserved for a select few of means.

May Mike’s gift to me inspire you to always be conscious of the impact you have, that leaves others a little better off than before they met you, leaving your legacy to the world.

Thanks for listening!  Happy days…

Vol. 38 “Spirit Of Adventure”- Drew Earl

Drew Earl0001

In order to find new adventures, in order to bring about a difference in ours and others lives we must move beyond our comfort zones.  It was Drew who helped develop an innate curiosity, that is the bedrock of moving towards the fringe of fear where we can find and see things anew.  In this fresh approach we can ride the spirit of adventure and continually surprise ourselves.

Thanks Drew for your early influence, friendship and being the one I turned when I contemplated something way outside of my zone of comfort.

Thanks for listening!  Happy days…

Vol. 37 “Selfless”- Paul Hobson & Bill Day

Putting others before ourselves can be a tough task in a world where “looking out for number one” is often taken to the extreme.  As my upline and sales managers/leaders in my first business with Enviro-tech International, Paul & Bill acted in a selfless way when teaching me the business and at one major keystone moment in my life that opened so many door of opportunity.   When they could have rained on my parade they only wished the best for Courtney and I.

Thanks Paul & Bill your kindness and our wonderful time together is never forgotten.  Thanks for your gift, your example, of selflessness!

Thanks for listening!  Happy days…

Vol. 36 “Patience Thru Progress”- Jim McNeely

Just knowing that “patience is a virtue” alone does not make it easy to develop a sense of patience within ourselves.  Jim McNeely came into my life at the perfect moment where I needed to build some patience in order to develop long-term perspective and consistent follow through.  In a world full of messages speaking of “short term fixes”, “gotta have it today” and “we are entitled to have it today” makes Jim’s gift all that more important.  Today I try to give you a piece the gift Jim gave me, over the course of years, packed into several minutes.

Thanks for listening!  Happy days…

Vol. 35 “My Bad: The Motorhome”

Leave a reply

Motorhome0001 Make-mistakes-learn-from-them-laugh-about-them-and-move-along_

From time to time in the “You’re A Gift Series” I will share “My Bad” moments reminding us all that mistakes are inevitable, everybody makes them so we are never alone, they are guidelines not stop signs and we inevitably always find our way through them when we learn to forgive ourselves first.

Other’s mistakes are gifts to all as they give the gift of learning through OPE “other people’s experience”.  May this and all the other “My Bad” situations I’ll share with you from time to time help you avoid making the same mistakes through slightly self-deprecating, often humorous, always head scratching stories.

This week hear all about my bumbling and stumbling as I added insult to injury, more debt on top of our $50,000 of unsecured debt, buying a 40 foot motorhome.

Thanks for listening!  Happy days…

Vol. 34 “It’s How You Say It”- Dean Naylor

In life we all need trusted people to tell us what we need to hear not what we want to hear.  However that is only half the equation.  The second half of the equation is how something is said.  Dean Naylor was the master of being a velvet hammer.

Dean in so many ways was the “Mary Poppins” of helping me grow and develop.  His style, his smile, his chuckle…his “spoonful of sugar”…as he delivered some of the hardest, toughest things I needed to learn, accept and face as I aspired to be more, do more and have more was the medicine I needed!

It was the honesty, delivered oh so perfectly,  that makes me think of he and his wonderful wife Lynnie as friends I love still today.  I know all those who grew from his relentlessness to not let anyone accept nothing but the best in ourselves, feel the same way.

Thanks for listening!  Happy days…

Vol. 33 “Everything Ends…It’s A-OK”- Jonathan Goldsmith “The Worlds Most Interesting Man”

You know him as the Dos Equis “World’s Most Interesting Man” I know him as a dear friend and mentor from 1995-1997…Jonathan Goldsmith.

I met Jonathan in 1995 when he was the President of Enviro-tech International.  He became my first mentor in public speaking, in Direct Selling and a friend.  Our time together ended when he departed from his role in 1998, my time with him cut too short.  So many moments and lessons I learned from him, the last one he left me with defined a big part of me over the past two decades.

Wherever you are my friend know that I miss you.  Courtney and I speak of you often…the guidance, support, attention, the joys and the wonderful stories you gave us.  Neither time, distance or the past will change or ever erase that.  What a moment it is every time I see you and your adventures as “The World’s Most Interesting Man.  Stay thirsty my friend!

Thanks for listening!  Happy days…

Rod Yanke co-founded Enviro-tech International when by happenstance he found Waterless Carwash.  It was his simple vision that changed the lives of tens of thousands of people in the 90’s by putting people into home based businesses with a unique, one of a kind product.  That company grew to greatness, more than 50 million in sales annually, from a simple idea, a simple battle cry of “squirt the dirt 3 times a day and watch your business grow”.  As distributors we were so steeped in the basic, the fundamentals.  So simple an idea lead to great things for so many people.

Thanks for listening!  Happy days…

March 27, 1995, my wife Courtney, brings home a bottle of Waterless Carwash, a home based business and opened the door to my career over the past 20 years.

Only in America can two kids start a business from their kitchen table, with Waterless Carwash, that would bring about debt freedom and create the past 20 years of business adventures as well as gift givers that you’ll begin to hear about this week and going forward in the “You’re A Gift” series.

Thanks for listening!  Happy days…
