It has been a wonderful couple of years in Ambit Energy.  It has been exciting for all of us as we are the Pioneers of not just Ambit Energy, but the Evolution of the Industry.  We are nearly up to the ground floor now, so get ready to start working with all the New Folks that are about to “Get in on the Ground Floor” (We are almost up to the Ground Floor)!

That’s right.  More people will join Ambit in the next year that in the past 2 Plus Years.  Dramatically More!  Those Consultants will join the Team of the Leaders that Get Excited, Stay Focused and Never Ever Quit!  Now is not the time to rest on our past, as the Big Game is Just Beginning!  New Consultants will join this year that grow Tremendous Teams, FAST!

We are the Industry Leader now, so there are others jumping in to our industry to try and grab a piece of the market.  Most do not have the Financial or Management Strength to weather the storms and make a lasting impact.  They look exciting, as it is always exciting to be first, but remember, Ambit Made It!  We are the Industry Leader, about to open our 4^th state.  Sure others say they open half the universe at once, but that just reflects on the Management Skill.  It is our methodical Expansion that allows you and I to have an impact, Territory by Territory. The key is that it Allows, not Gives. 

It takes total focus to become Hugely Successful.  Now that you choose #1, stay focused and find your success.  Every time you move, you have to start over and the only guarantee is that Ambit is strong enough to weather the toughest economic times in our lifetime.  It is going to take that financial strength, with Jere and Chris’s Leadership, to find sunshine in this storm.  I am so glad I chose right and NO ONE IS GOING TO STEAL MY FOCUS!  Congratulations.  Just like me you find yourself in a company where everyone else wants what we have!

And it is with Electricity & Natural Gas!

Well here we are in the Holiday Season.  It is definitely a time to Give Thanks, but not the time to rest.  Why do I say that?  Isn’t it true that in all of the MLM Industry the Holiday Season is the slowest?  Yes it is true.  Just like building a Space Shuttle is the slow time in Space Exploration.  The Consultants that push and build harder now, position themselves for the greatest results in what comes in January, The Fastest Growth Time In The MLM Industry.  Knowing this and taking action now, gives you a huge Head Start.  It worked for me!

That’s right.  I started building my Ambit Business in November and December, the supposed “Slowest Time of the Year”  That Massive Action furring the Holidays, positioned me for Tremendous Growth in the following year.  My business achieved strong momentum while others were waiting out the “Slow Season”.  I credit that with a great deal of my success on the road to becoming a Top Money Earner.  When others slow down, speed up!  Then when others speed up, your larger group will be caught up in the Momentum!  And Massive Success is all about Momentum!

As you have more success, more and more companies will contact you.  IT is like becoming a Professional Athlete.  Everyone want to add a Professional to their Team, ESPECIALLY THE WEAKER TEAMS!  Be careful not to be led off to where you can be the leader of a Losing Team.  Professional Athletes sometimes do that because of the Millions they receive for the move.  But they know theirs is a short lived career, and there is no pay when they stop.  We have decades of growth ahead of us, and if we stay with a Proven Winner, we will get paid for years after we stop playing as frequently.

My goal now, is to help as many people taste the Success that I have been Blessed With.  Because it is you that allowed me that Success,  But it did not come without work.  I have worked harder for the last 2 years than ever before in my life.  I had to give up a lot of other activities for that short period of time, but now the Blessings are Endless.  Are you willing to do what it takes to achieve a higher level of Success than you ever had before, or are you slowing down to invite Mediocrity?

Thanks to the many new friends I have met and worked with over the last two years in Ambit.  I look forward to meeting many new people and watching some of you become Great Leaders, Living Your Dreams.  Guess who gets to make that choice?

So Happy Thanksgiving.  I am thankful for all of you and for this great country and world we live in.  I am Very Thankful for the Ambit Success and will not take it lightly. There is plenty of room at the Top, so help lift your neighbor and yourself out of the crowded bottom land, and come Climb the Mountain with us.

Together, Everyone Achieves More!

To Success,

Hello,

My name is Steve Thompson.  I have been an entrepreneur since I was a small child.  I was the neighborhood kid with the Bicycle Repair, Lawn Mower, Coaster Building Etc. Business.  I was always looking for ways to earn my own way.  It set me on a path to always be on the lookout for a good business venture.  I took my first regular job at 15, working in a restaurant.  I only lasted a few weeks and did not enjoy it.  I found a job in a Gas Station (It was full service then) and I liked that better.  .  I had a passion for cars and motorcycles and found a way to get paid for it.  I went from that to Car Dealerships and put myself through college working in an Auto Parts Store.  I graduated with a BBA in less than three years.  Not because I was so smart but because it was more efficient time management along with significant savings. 

Even then, I was rebuilding and working on cars and motorcycles.  I found a niche buying wrecked motorcycles, rebuilding them, giving them a paint job and selling then for a significant profit.  A job alone was not enough for me.  When I graduated I looked at a lot of things but again took a job in Automotive.  I became an outside salesman calling on garages, body shops and dairy farms.  From that I moved to working for a chain of Auto Supple Warehouse’s selling to Auto Parts Stores.  While I enjoyed it, I somehow new that I needed a business of my own.  While studying to become a Real Estate Agent, I discovered Insurance.

Although I was not excited about Insurance, I was intrigued by the Residual Income.  The ability to make the sale once, and get paid over and over for it.  Soon I was studying Insurance and applying to the what I saw as the best Agency System around.  State Farm Insurance!  In 1979, just after turning 24, I moved to Austin, Texas to open a Scratch Agency (To start without a book of business).  

Although I went to college 30 miles south of Austin, I had no friends or relatives there.  It was the quality of life I was looking for and I loved the Texas Hill Country!

From the beginning, I saw Insurance as a base business that would allow me to do other things as well.  I focused on insurance for years.  I served as a Volunteer Fireman, EMT and on the Travis County EMS Committee.  I volunteered with other service organizations and spread my education and relationships.  At 29 I was invited to join the board of a local bank and began another part of my life education.  Soon I was saving on Marketing and Loan Committees and learning about many other’s business and trends.  I was excited about the knowledge but knew it was not knowledge that was power, it was the application of that knowledge.

At age 30 I started an Entertainment Agency specializing in Artist Development and Management along with Production Management.  I had been a musician as a teenager and found that now I spoke both business and music.  I could work with the music I loved and make money while working toward greater things.  I learned a great deal and dabbled with music management until just a few short years ago when my more profitable MLM Career really took off.

I first started Network Marketing as a very part time Herbalife Distributer.  I was into health and fitness and was intrigued by Mark Hughes, the founder of Herbalife.  The way he spoke about living your dreams and his passion  for helping others made me want to learn to do the same.  I knew nothing about it but began to study.  After a couple of years I gave up Herbalife (Probably a big mistake but I was going through a divorce and my wife wanted the business.  She did not realize the work in Network Marketing).  I originally planned to start again but grew tired of the products, deliveries and having to always sell and deliver.  There had to be a better way!

For the next 10 years I looked at almost everything that come along.  Most of them were more products and usually overpriced.  In 1996 I discovered Excel Communications.  They sold Long Distance Service.  It was a Service, not a Product.  I was in!  However, they were almost 8 years old and my timing was not so good.  That year was their largest ever and I had very little to do with it.  The owner frequently talked about someday selling Electricity and that kept us going.  It was 10 times the long distance, but it did not happen with Excel.  I stayed for 7 years and learned a lot.  It took me years to get to a 6 figure annualized income but still I was hooked.  The opening of Canada was very big for me and I learned a lot about new launches and working with other folks, cultures and climates.  However, they sold it again and I did not feel good about the new owners so I quit.  Sure enough, they were gone in no time.

After that I participated in the first year launch of a Skin Care Company despite my promise of never doing another product based company.  I was intrigued with a start up.  I learned a lot there.  The most important thing I learned was to check the backing of the company very closely.  Their investors quit putting in money and they begin to pull back.  I was gone and a few months later they were too.  A close friend brought me into the Travel Industry more for fun and a place to be.  Soon I was doing well and when the Top Producers of that company decided to start their own, I went with them.  We were friends and I knew they were Great Network Marketers.  For the next year I had a blast with them and was a Top 20 Money earner in the country.  I thought I would never leave.  Then I was invited to come meet the owners of Ambit Energy and I had to look.  What I saw changed my life.

I always knew that if anyone got in the Energy Business with Network Marketing and did it right, with the right Management Team, Compensation Plan and Tremendous Investor Strength, it would one of the Largest Success Stories in Business History.  They were it, and I had to move.  Within a month I had wrapped up my affairs at the other company in Travel and was totally focused on building an Ambit Energy Business.

With Ambit Energy, my dreams have come true.  All of my skills, combined with hard work, a lot of nights on the road and some good timing has set me free financially.  I have been in MLM for over 15 years.  Some good companies and some not so good.  But I had the street wisdom to recognize a winner, make a commitment and take massive action to get the job done.  I never looked back.  I made the decision once and this journey is taking me to new heights!

I wish only the same for you!

To Success,

Steve
