About Geared for Growth – 10 Principles for Reaching Your Potential:

John Maxwell and Jim Dornan are legends.  In their respective fields, few have equaled much less exceeded their accomplishments as leaders.  But those who know them know they are thrilled to raise up leaders who both equal and exceed their accomplishments.  With that value in common, John and Jim realized years ago that their relationship was about more than just a rewarding friendship.  For them, being friends has also been a lifetime partnership to add value to others.  And that more than any other factor is the reason behind writing, Geared for Growth: 10 Principles To Help You Reach Your Potential.  

With this outstanding collaboration, John Maxwell and Jim Dornan have placed the perfect tool in the hands of people who aspires to an exceptional life.  Complimented by John’s world-class gift of teaching leadership and Jim’s experience as a world-wide business leader and mentor, Geared for Growth offers each reader the perfect balance between explanation and application.  John’s illustration of a truth will grab you…Jim’s story of how that truth was lived out will cause you to grab the truth and apply it in your life!  What a powerful combination!

But, Geared for Growth is not merely an explanation of how to succeed; its an invitation to join John and Jim on the journey to success.  They wrote this book because they believe in you and they believe that by applying these truths, you can succeed as they have.  To all who would aspire to go to the top, to thrive and not just live, to be significant and not merely successful…  John Maxwell and Jim Dornan offer you their hand and their confidence in Geared for Growth: 10 Principles To Help You Reach Your Potential.

Throughout this book it is clear that John and Jim are drawing from vast pools of experience; John from the corporate world of leadership training and Jim from the perspective of one of Amway’s top business leaders and founder of Network TwentyOne.

How do I know all of this? Well let’s just say I’m pretty tight with JM & JD and well… we talk … yeah, I’m kind of a big deal. Anyway, they asked me to take a perusal of their latest collaboration. Cool huh? Long story short, because we talk and because I’m known as a pretty savvy social networker, they asked me how I thought we could get the buzz started around the world on this new book. That got my gears turning and here’s what I came up with.

Come up with your best title for John and Jim’s new book and submit it to me here in the comments section to this post, via Twitter, Facebook or even smoke signals if you like. If your title is selected to be used, I’ll float a pair of tickets to any Network TwentyOne major Seminar anywhere in the world as well as a copy of the new book signed by both John Maxwell and Jim Dornan.

2009 was a landmark year if for nothing else … it was the year I was “born”. It has been great and I have loved getting to meet so many of you and also interviewing so many of our global leaders. The Podcasts, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and this website have all been useful tools for spotlighting the amazing global community that is Network TwentyOne.

.

Amway turns 50 – What a great celebration and a statement about the viability and strength of the Amway business opportunity. I was fortunate enough to be in Ada and Las Vegas for the celebrations and the vision of so many leaders from around the world coming together to celebrate Amway’s success.

.

Network TwentyOne celebrated “20 Years of Excellence” in Las Vegas with hundreds of Diamonds and above from around the world. As John Maxwell pointed out in addressing the Network TwentyOne Diamonds, “the global leadership team of Network TwentyOne is truly unprecedented and to be respected for the achievement it represents.” And it is in just such an environment with so many leaders brought together from over 25 countries that we begin to recognize the strength and power of our “global community”.

.

Jim and Nancy Dornan were recognized for achieving 50 FAA points and spotlighted in Amway’s Achieve magazine (click here to read the article). In addition to this Jim and Nancy were presented with a check from Amway for $2,000,000.00 in Washington DC at our annual Free Enterprise conference… and yes that is their new Hawker 800 jet in the background that they spent their FAA bonus on. Nothing like seeing leaders reinvesting their earnings back into building their business.

.

Network TwentyOne launched it’s 1st iPhone application which while not changing the way anyone is building their business, showed it’s globally affiliated business owners that they are serious about embracing technology in unique and relevant ways. Also look for major changes to Channel-21 this year that will, amoung other things, allow subscribers to view the streaming content from their smart phones.

.

Network TwentyOne North America launched it’s new website (www.n21.com) and with it a new video on it’s homepage entitled “We’re Not Guessing“. Look for a similar look and feel on other Network TwentyOne websites including n21corp.com in 2010 as we continue to invest to support Network TwentyOne affiliated business owners around the world.

.

We added iReport to n21guy.com to allow Network TwentyOne affiliated business owners from around the world to submit photos and short articles from the events they attend.

Network Of Caring surges on to the scene in a big way with the addition of it’s new Chief Significance Officer RD Saunders who many of you have already met as he travels around the world sharing the amazing stories of your generosity and kindness for those in need. Click here for more information on this amazing charity founded by Jim & Nancy Dornan and the Network TwentyOne global leadership.

.So that is just some of the “sweet happenings” in the world of Network TwentyOne … but certainly not a complete list by any means… have something to add??? Do so in the comments section below as I’d love to hear from you.

Screen shot of the actual application showing all markets contained in the application below:

Also hear that a web based version of this application is in the works for all global markets to be made available to all Channel-21 subscribers. From what the tech guys are telling me, it will allow a C-21 subscriber to show an online marketing plan to anyone (up to 10 viewers at one time) on their own computer(s)… as you click to a new slide in the plan, all of those viewing it online will see the new slide. This app has been available in North America for some time known as “Web Presentation Live”. Questions or comments? Post them here…
