With this blog post, we introduce a program of regular blog contributions from members of the Max Advisory Council. This blog post was prepared by the combined council.
The month of February has been a whirlwind of activity. Ending January with the Las Vegas Showcase caused such a swell of excitement and confidence for all who attended. Hats off to the corporate team for putting together such a dynamic celebration for us.
February was a strong month. So, what happened? Many things, including:
- The field excitement coming from the Las Vegas Event.
- The “open upgrade” opportunity to become a Diamond Pack Associate if you missed the normal 60 day window. (Max Corporate responded to our request to give us one “open upgrade” chance. Thank you.)
- The launching of the Recharge Pack. For the business builders, using the Recharge Pack options will become a part of basic business.
- The double FastTrack Commissions following the purchase of a Recharge Pack. For four weeks after the purchase of a Recharge Pack in the month of February, all North American associates will could earn double FastTrack commissions when enrolling at least five new Associates with a product pack.
- Associates working to qualify for the Diamond/Leadership Celebration in May, which closed on February 28th.
- Lots of new associates joining Max International.
- The opening of operations in New Zealand.
What did we leave out ? Events all across North America, the February 18th Recruit-A-Thon, small group meetings everywhere, MaxGXL TV Episode 4… lots of good things.
Friends and partners, we are so pleased to be affiliated with you and we congratulate you for all your successes. We know the work it takes to build your business. We know the sacrifices that are made as you prioritize Max into your already full life. We know.
Let’s have a fabulous March and join together in making 2010 a banner year for our young company!
Don’t forget to take advantage of the “Spring into Momentum” (North America, Philippines, Australia/New Zealand) and “Hope for Hawaii” promotions that started on March 1st!
Respectfully,
Your Max International Associate Advisory Council

Momentum is a common word in our industry, and with good reason. A company “in momentum” enjoys accelerated growth and activity. Such a company would obviously be attractive to people looking for a business opportunity.
In the field of physics, momentum (p) is defined as p=mv—the product of mass and velocity. Something that has “built up” a lot of momentum is, of course, hard to stop. In his book Good to Great (which you should all read), Jim Collins refers to a “huge, heavy flywheel…weighing about 5,000 pounds.” Your task, he says, is to “get the flywheel rotating on [an] axle as fast and long as possible.”
Doing so would require persistent effort, and energy, but you do it. Finally, you’ve pushed it enough to complete a turn. “You keep pushing, and the flywheel begins to move a bit faster…then, at some point—breakthrough! The momentum of the thing kicks in in your favor, hurling the flywheel forward, turn after turn. Each turn builds upon work done earlier.”
We’re now in our fourth year, and we’ve made a few turns on the flywheel. It’s starting to get easier as we continue to push in a consistent direction. The momentum is building and working in our favor.
Our momentum is a product of mass and velocity, but it’s a little different. Mass is simply the number of people actively engaged in our cause. Velocity is the product of leadership and activity—from Associates and corporate. As more and more people help push the flywheel, it turns faster and faster. As we on the corporate side and leaders in the field provide consistent leadership, activity is not wasted pursuing dead ends. People outside of Max can see we are gaining momentum, and join in, making it easier to push the flywheel….the cycle feeds on itself and the momentum continues to build. That’s what it’s all about.
The Las Vegas Showcase was hugely successful because everyone who attended could feel the momentum, and it will only increase in 2010. With new products, an in-depth events strategy, a new recognition program, and numerous tools to help you keep moving, this is the time to be involved with Max.
Finally, from my perspective, momentum is not the same as inertia. The term “inertia” comes from the Latin term “iners,” meaning idle or lazy. If you are coasting in this business, you don’t have momentum. Bodies in motion stay in motion, and bodies at rest stay at rest, until acted upon. Don’t stand idly by as Max takes off.
