Color Your Way To Success!

This is so easy that my ten year old son has learned how to do it!

Coloring to success has been around for many centuries, but has been known by other names. What it is is knowing the four different personality types that make up peoples personalities.

You may have heard them described as Phlegmatic, Sanguine, Melancholy and Choleric.

We use the terms Yellow, Blue, Green and Red. Much easier to remember.

We have all four of these traits present in our personalities, but one usually dominates, and knowing what that is is a key factor for your success in talking and connecting with your prospects.

There is a quick and easy way to discern which personality you are talking with right away upon initial contact. You can ask yourself these questions: was my prospect open? or was he/she self contained? was my prospect indirect or direct?

Today I want to go over the Blue Personality. Open and Direct; that is how you can quickly tell if you have a 'blue'.

A blues motto is FUN, FUN, FUN!

So what would you want to talk about with a blue?

The great free vacations your company sends you on. The sports car give-away for top producer. The great people you work with.


Blues can be found in occupations like sales, entertainment, and public speaking.

Their dress is stylish, flamboyant, and colorful.

Their strengths are: creative, high energy, enthusiastic, promoter, convincing.

Their weaknesses are: poor follow-up, unorganized, exaggerates, poor saver, talks too much.

Key words to use when talking with the blues are: Fun and Exciting.

Blues dislike: Not having fun, facts and figures, being alone, not having fun!

What Is A Mentor And Why Do You Need One??

The roots of the practice are lost in antiquity. The word itself was inspired by the character of Mentor in Homer's Odyssey. Though the actual Mentor in the story is a somewhat ineffective old man, the goddess Athena takes on his appearance in order to guide young Telemachus in his time of difficulty.



In Greek mythology, Mentor (Greek: Μέντωρ / Méntōr)[1] was the son of Alcumus and, in his old age, a friend of Odysseus. When Odysseus left for the Trojan War he placed Mentor in charge of his son, Telemachus, and of his palace. When Athena visited Telemachus she took the disguise of Mentor to hide herself from the suitors of Telemachus' mother Penelope.[2] As Mentor, the goddess encourages Telemachus to stand up against the suitors and to go abroad in order to learn out about his father.

Today mentors provide their expertise to less experienced individuals in order to help them advance their careers, enhance their education, and build their networks. Many of the world's most successful people have benefited from having a mentor including:

Business people - Freddie Laker mentored Richard Branson

Politicians - Aristotle mentored Alexander the Great

Directors - Martin Scorsese mentored Oliver Stone at the New York University

Actors - Mel Gibson mentored Heath Ledger

Music - Johann Christian Bach mentored Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Athletes - Eddy Merckx (five-time Tour de France winner) mentored Lance Armstrong
(seven-time Tour de France winner).

Movies - Obi-wan Kenobi mentored Anakin Skywalker and his son Luke Skywalker

Movies - Mr. Miyagi mentored the Karate Kid (Danny LaRusso)


A Mentor in business will take an up-and-coming and groom him/her to be a leader. A
(protégé) is paired with a senior level leader (or leaders) for a series of career-
coaching interactions. A mentor is like a sounding board, they can give advice but the protégé is free to pick and choose what they do. The context does not have specific performance objectives.

Why Mentoring For Free??

Mentors have leadership experience and proven success records in Network Marketing and in life.

They demonstrate willingness to guide you to your own success with no agenda.

The Power Of One

Here is one other really great benefit of being in a 5 Pillar company: You can use The Power Of One to create a 5-figure income within a year.

What is The Power Of One??

Glad you asked!

The power of one is making the commitment to share your product or business with at least one other person a day. That would be 30 people a month.

We are not perfect, we miss some days, so even if you shared with 20 people a month, this will still work for you.

The goal is to add one person a month to your business.

My mentor is able to do this while working full-time and caring for her mother. I am able to this as a relatively new person who is still learning as I go.

OK, so you have your first person month one. Month two, you add another person, and your month one person you taught how to also add one person. So now you have 4 people by month two. Not huge, but it is a start.

Month three you add one person, your month one and month two people add one person and so do their people... you now have 8 people in your business.

You can now see how this is growing exponentially month after month.

By 12 months you will have grown your business to 1024 people, twelve of which you yourself have found and mentored.

In a 5 Pillar company, that will equal $29,257.14 a month. Not bad considering the work is easy and fun to do.

Now, you say you missed a month to sponsor someone. That's ok, because the next month you may realistically sponsor 2 or 3 people.

You can cut the formula to The Power of 1/2 and still be making 5 figures by the end of the year!
