Hey friends,
Just a quick note to say that we had a great Christmas and are looking forward to a fantastic year.
The school www.libertyprepnc.com is finished with it's first semester and we are taking applications for next year. Please agree with us that God has the perfect location for us and will reveal it to us SOON!
Our Amway business continues to grow and we are looking forward to breaking emeralds and diamonds this year and next.
Our kids are amazing and would you believe that we even have a dog? More like a small hamster since she is only 1.4 pounds and doesn't even go outside.
We are off for some skiing next week in Utah and then off to Lancaster Pa for our first conference of the year. Then Amie and i will be going to Vegas to see Miss America pageant.
We will tweet our experiences at www.twitter.com edcdougweir and amiemweir are our twitter names.
Our friends and downline rubies Ethan and Amy Veno have started a blog at http://ethanveno.blogspot.com so check them out too.
Bye for now.
Doug

This letter came in this week giving us an update on the 2 churches that we helped to rebuild in Sudan. The letter should have been addressed to our business team, since we all had a hand in making this happen. http://www.weirteam.com. It is a pleasure to partner with a quality organization like Samaritan's Purse. http://www.samaritanspurse.org/.

Misconceptions about personal sponsoring
I have heard recently people say things like "if i just sow enough seeds, i know that i will get a new leg sponsored". Now there is definitely some truth to the fact that you have to talk to a number of people before you find the one's who want to join your team. However, I think that some people think that personal sponsoring is some mystical, ethereal, uncontrollable happenstance. It is not.
Personal sponsoring is simply being the kind of person that others want to work with and offering your opportunity to them in a way that they understand it's potential at a time when they are ready to get in.
YOU control your personal sponsoring. Here are some things to self evaluate if you are not sponsoring at the rate you would like to be:
1. Is it YOU that they don't like? (bad breath, body odor, too aggressive, too intense, too pushy, lack of people skills, uncomfortable to be around, talk about inappropriate things, etc.) If so, there are some great books on the book list that can help. http://www.ltdteam.com
2. Are you talking to enough people to find the ones who are ready to get in? (most people think they are working really hard, but when they really get honest about how many people they talk with and how much time they invest in their business, they realize that they are more social with their business than businesslike.)
3. Are you accurately sharing what your business offers? I hear people say that they showed the business to a number of people and those people had little interest. I guess i might just being a little different, but i find it hard to believe that these people don't want to live like Joe Markiewicz and Larry Winters. http://www.extremefreedomteam.com My guess is that you didn't accurately explain what kind of lifestyle the business offers to those who build it to Diamond. How awesome was it that Amway Global sent Larry and Pam and this year's new diamonds to Peter Island and put them up in the new villas? http://amwayglobal.com, http://peterisland.com
So, become a person that other like to be with, show the plan enough to find the lookers, and show the opportunity in a way that people don't see this as simply another job, but a chance to develop lifestyle.

Riding motorcycles in Hawaii
This was a really cool thing to do in Hawaii. We chartered a plane from the island of Maui to the island of Kauai and hooked up with an outfit called MotoHawaii. they had top of the line bikes and we rode the coolest trails. It was like we were on the set of Jurassic Park only riding motorcycles.
I think they are closed down now for environmental concerns. Bummer, because it was a really cool thing to do and I would love to take more friends to do it with us again.

West Yellowstone Snowmobiling
This is definately a reason to look forward to Winter weather. The Markiewicz team Emeralds get to travel to Bozeman, MT where we get shuttled up to West Yellowstone. Then we go in every direction and bomb through major snow. Since we rent sleds, we always have the latest model.
Check out www.polarisindustries.com/en-us/snowmobiles/2010/DeepSnow/800-Dragon-RMK-163/Pages/Features.aspx for the latest in Mountain sleds.
Carolina Hurricanes
Front row season tickets to Carolina Hurricanes and we don't even live in Raleigh anymore. I've never been to a game that we didn't sit on the front row. We are so thankful for our business and the friends we have made building it.Saturday, May 1, 2010
