Here are 4 things every new VIP should get:

1. Get to know your sponsor and your upline leaders.
2. Get the information you need.
3. Get the idea, including how big your opportunity really is.
4. Get started.

1. GET TO KNOW YOUR SPONSOR AND UPLINE LEADERS

We take pride in the fact that the DHS Club continues to develop as both a great business opportunity, AND as a community. There are genuine, caring people in leadership positions who serve as success models, and who truly want to help every new VIP build a business. Those who are creating the initial success with ClubBucks are those who have believed strongly in the DHS Club opportunity all along.

There is someone very successful not very far upline from every VIP position who truly wants to help every new VIP succeed. That person's email address is available. If you are a new VIP and your sponsor is also new, it doesn't take a lot of looking around to find the help you need in building your business as successful VIPs do. Every new VIP should develop an email relationship with his/her sponsor and make it a point to at least say hello by email (Again, this IS a community!) as far as the first Executive Director upline from them.

If every new VIP accepted that responsibility, they would find the results helpful and satisfying. The responsibility of the sponsor is to make himself/herself available. I feel that all new VIPs should accept some responsibility in developing that relationship if they are indeed serious about developing a great residual income. It doesn't take much initiative to say to your sponsor, "I'm here and I'm ready to work. Show me what to do." You'll find that somewhere along the way, the success of your business will be based on VIPs who send that message to you. Successful VIPs will be both ready and willing when that happens, and will have done that themselves at some time in the past.

Those who are having success because they believe in our opportunity and apply the action necessary are not faceless success story testimonials. If you visit your VIP Control Center with any regularity, you cannot help but notice those at the top leading by example and those on the way up. You get a sense of who they are and what they are doing. Those finding success or committed to success eventually even meet in person, and part of our business plan dictates that we eventually meet in some exciting ways. There are now Masters Of Marketing events regionally as well as our national annual convention and our trip to HQ (as a reward for success).

Ours is NOT just another Internet business. You can prove that to those you sponsor, just by referring them to ongoing examples of our success. Having experienced success with other successful people in the DHS Club, I cannot imagine why anyone who desires to build a business would not want to be a part of our community, unless they wish to remain anonymous. Any new VIP who wants to can meet those who are building a business, both by email and in person. Many of us with the DHS Club have seen a lot of so called "opportunities" come and go since we began. We're still here, and ClubBucks is shaping even another arena of success for all our members.

2. GET THE INFORMATION YOU NEED

From our online materials, from our e-Business Institute, from the DHS Club and ongoing PalTalk conferences -- to individual leader information sites like Club Success -- there is much information available -- to ANYONE who wants to use it -- about building success with the DHS Club and the ClubBucks Rewards Card program. Now that we are established in a number of regions, it is evident that there are materials and instruction based on proven methods to success.

I am always amazed when I see an email from a VIP who says, in essence, "I don't know what to do". There is a link to our e-Business Institute in the VIP Resource Center, and when a free member upgrades to VIP, they receive a site with their name on it. The VIP web site itself states who it belongs to. I feel strongly that anyone who invests $49.95 in a DHS Club membership for the purpose of building a residual income impedes their own progress if they do not read every word of their own VIP web site as the very first matter of business they undertake. Still some don't, and if there are VIPs in your organization who have not, you can be sure their lack of success is directly related to this. Urge ALL your new VIPs to thoroughly review THEIR OWN VIP web site.

The information is there. Any reason for not knowing the basics about our business JUST FROM THE ONLINE MATERIAL AVAILABLE is NOT a reason. It is an excuse for not accepting responsibility. It is an excuse for not investing time in setting goals. It is an excuse for not doing the homework required. It is those who DO take initiative who will be the people who become the best investment of your time as a successful VIP yourself. Your responsibility as a good sponsor is in making sure that all the VIPs YOU sponsor know that the information is there and where to find it.

3. GET THE IDEA, INCLUDING HOW BIG YOUR OPPORTUNITY REALLY IS

I stated above that most people who are serious enough about developing a business will take the time to read the materials. Leaders are readers. That is worth repeating. Leaders are readers. Encourage your new VIPs to read the materials. There is an interesting thing that happens to those who invest the time it takes to do that, and do it thoroughly. Somewhere along the way, the light comes on. They begin to see that the DHS Club REALLY IS an exceptional idea set up in the framework of a really strong business plan. Further inspection reveals that it is designed for a long-term residual income and that it is working for many people, now even on a local level. There really are those of us who are earning that residual income. Real people making real money with a real business designed to last a lifetime. Really.

"Get The Idea" here implies "get" in the "grasping" sense. You can bet that everyone who is having a good measure of success with the DHS Club "gets" it that the DHS Club is an exceptional idea in itself. A network marketing program that provides real benefits worth thousands of dollars at a HUGE discount by way of a relatively small monthly membership fee rather than by inflated MLM markup prices, with a compensation plan that provides an incentive to achieve. ClubBucks is a unique idea whose time has come and is not being approached as successfully by any other company in ANY medium. "Getting it" requires not only understanding that the business is good and sound, but that our membership is about VALUE. It is valuable to everyone who would consider a membership, even those who may not have an interest in a business opportunity. Show me a successful VIP and I'll show you someone who has saved some money through their DHS Club membership.

How big is our opportunity? We believe that, through our efforts, millions of people throughout the world will be using a ClubBucks card every month, and not very long from now. Because ClubBucks is a "ground floor" business with a proven company, it is unique. And, because our business has moved to being available both locally AND online, anyone who begins promoting ClubBucks now can have millions of card users in their network using our 4-5 year marketing plan. Those who put the wheels in motion by sponsoring businesses where they live to give the ClubBucks card value locally stand to gain large rewards long-term. As local value is established, anyone who chooses to can beging to earn ongoing income just by distributing ClubBucks cards. Those who position themselves before that are the leaders of today.

4. GET STARTED

A new VIP should get started building a business as quickly as possible. A sponsor should encourage that, and should facilitate it as best he/she can.

If you are a new VIP, it is imperative that you use the e-Business Institute information to your advantage right away. If you've been with us a while and you don't already know the information in these pages inside out, what's the deal? This is the stuff our success builds upon.

My advice is to learn it. Understand it. Make sure those you sponsor get to it right away. Make sure they "GET" it.

And, by all means, get started and encourage getting started using the VIP membership benefits! All our VIPs should find out just how much VALUE we really have.

I can only say this from experience: If I did not have thousands of dollars coming in every month from some opportunity somewhere, I'd get started right away investing every minute possible in developing a DHS Club business. Come to think of it, that's what I did. And that is why I do.

LEADERS - AND THOSE WHO WANT TO BE LEADERS!!

AND GET YOURSELF TO AN UPCOMING MASTERS OF MARKETING TRAINING TO LEARN HOW, THROUGH CLUBBUCKS, WE ARE CREATING THE LARGEST ORGANIZATION OF ITS KIND ANYWHERE. LEARN HOW YOU CAN CREATE PROSPERITY FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY FROM IT. Read the testimonials there of those who have attended and come to recognize that your investment in getting to this training is one of the best financial moves you will make in your lifetime.

I believe that ClubBucks is the best business opportunity most people will ever encounter. When you consider sponsoring the businesses in your community, this thought should be part of your consideration: "If I don't do it, somebody else will".

Enjoy your own life without comparing it with that of another.
