Hi Team,

I have been hearing about Summer Slowdown for many years. Not just in MLM, but in my Insurance Career as well. It is amazing how widely that EXCUSE spreads! A few years ago I decided to buck that trend and see what it would change. The change was worth it!

When Ambit Launched New York on June 1 a couple of years ago, there was a flurry of activity for a couple of weeks. Then most of the "Traveling Ambit Leaders" apparently decided to stay home for the Summer. I did not, but rather increased my activity. I spent every other week that summer in NYC working with everyone I could. On the alternate week I was not off, but barnstorming around Texas doing the same thing. It seemed like tough times and everyone questioned and even made fun of how hard I was working. After all, it was "Summer Slowdown".

The result was that I went into Ambition as one of the Top Money Earners with more Team at Ambition than most. Sure enough, the announcements, training and excitement of Ambition set off and Explosion of Momentum and Activity all over Ambit. That is when leverage kicks in. Since our Team had worked harder in the "Summer Slowdown", we exploded in the fall. That November was the first time in my life to earn over $100,000 Dollars in a single month. Accident? Coincidence? I don't think so. Like my good friend EC Uri Kasparov always says. "Success is a Choice". We made the right choice and that few months of hard work, against the tide of "Summer Slowdown", set me free.

No Decision, is a Decision! We all love summer activities, but this is a business where you give up some things for a short period of time in order to have it all later. It sure is unlikely that you can skip that first part and just skip your way to Financial Freedom. Think twice when you are deciding about the Ambit Presentation or the ball game/picnic/lake/summer outing. What is the real, long term cost of that choice? A few years ago I made the choice to skip a few Summer Outings with friends, and now I decide between my pool, ranch or just jetting off to somewhere wonderful. What has changed for you in the last few years? How do you want your life to be a few years from now?

Enjoy your summer, but not haphazardly. Make a firm plan and commitment to your future first. Commit to your Ambit Schedule and then fit in some Summer Fun. Pay yourself first so your future does not come in last. I am so glad I continued to struggle and work even while others played. It has changed my life forever.

Good luck in your Ambit Business. But take a lot of the luck out of the equation by making and keeping a Plan for Success! Don't hope it happens, MAKE IT HAPPEN! You have to try, fail, try again and succeed. It is the formula for Success.

See You at the Top!

To Success,

Steve Thompson

PS: Many do not know that I was not one of the Ten contacted and invited to Ambit by Chris and Jere. As a matter of fact, it was a few months later when I came in on the 3rd level. I made the choice to ask myself to be at the Top and be a Top Money Earner. I said yes to myself, and kept the commitment. You can too!

See you at an Ambit Presentation, TONIGHT!
