What's your story?

It All Begins With the Right Story

By Daren Hogge

I’ve been involved in the industry for a number of years and I'm fascinated by seeing the ways that the granddaddy companies that have been around for decades are different from the ones that are brand new.

To me it all goes back to how businesses start and how they gather their thoughts in a very short period. I started off with one of the granddaddies and was fascinated to hear the story of how the company started and how it had to change direction.

Even way back then it got me thinking about how having a story of your company’s foundation is critical to share with those who are considering joining the firm so they can gain the lifestyle that they're seeking. This industry is based first and foremost on a hope that the company you have decided to go with will have a culture that matches your own and will allow you to attain your goals.   

If you are a brand new company starting out, you can use a story that says, “We're brand new so come join us because it's a brand new opportunity.” Unfortunately, that lasts for about a week in this industry because a week later there's 15 new companies using that exact same mantra. You have go to distinguish yourself form the hundreds of companies that start up every year as to why your company is the one they should join. 

At Q Sciences we have a nutrition product that's been helping people for 18 years. The gentleman who formulated the product had a story of how it impacted his life, the lives of each one of his children. That story spread and ultimately was featured on a television show. 

One thing that is absolutely critical as you develop your own story -- it must be based on fact, truth and other elements that people can rely on. We are past the years when a company would offer a lot of superlatives that people either didn't check or didn't have the ability to check. Now everyone has the Internet and Google and can basically find out the truth very quickly

A company that puts out a false or misleading story will suffer either by not being able to recruit the kind of people they seek or having people join and then depart.  And when they flee, they start to tell people about the falsehoods and scare them away. 

Your story needs to be based on a vision. It needs to be based on an experience that has allowed people to benefit either with wealth or health. As you are going forward, sometimes your story must project where the future is taking you. You should say that your company is going to help these people; how it’s going to help them; and why it's going to help them.


Really we talk in the industry to the network marketers – or what we call independent business owners in our company – about how really you get paid to go out and share your story.  The more you share your story, the more likely your business will grow because people are attracted to it.  They want to relate to somebody in a similar situation to themselves. They want to know that the pain or the goal that they're going for has been achieved by another person. And the best way to communicate that in our business is person-to-person – by sharing with them the story that got them to this particular place. 

It's interesting to me how many times people who don't develop their own story are easily swayed when somebody comes up to them and says “I don't really don’t know if you believe that” or “you're just out there trying to make money.”

 Remember, too, that if your story carries weight for you personally then you begin to attract people because when you have that belief that in turn gives you confidence.  And from confidence you'll be able to go start coaching others to duplicate what you have been doing to get in the position you have attained.

Many times people talk about a job or a career or what we call a cause.  And sometimes people will look at a job sometimes as a chore. If you can look at your work and tell your story as though you were involved in a calling or a mission, then no matter how hard the day is they'll be able to take their mission forward and that mission will be the result in an experience and then that experience translates into a story that they're able to share. 

Go out and share a story.  Tell the truth based on fact, based on emotion and you'll do very well in this industry.

Hero in training! Now this is why I am in Q!

Hi Daren. My name is Elijah Griffin and I live in Plattsville, Ontario Canada. I am 11 years old and I started taking Q96 in December last year.  My mom and dad are Denise and Joe.  Before I started taking EMPowerplus Q96, I had a lot of stress.  I used to think I was dumb, useless and couldn't do anything right.  I also couldn't focus in school and I thought I was fat and that my life was a disgrace.  Now because of taking Q96, I am more confident, I don't think I am fat anymore, I can focus better in school and I can do things better than I used to.  Its really helped my family.  Before Q96, it was pretty stressful at home.  Now its more calm and fun in our family.  My mom is doing so much better.  She play fights with me know and jokes around with me.  Thank you for reading my story.  From Eli Griffin.  
 
Thank you for Q.

Get Happy! It does make a difference

It’s well known that attitudes, emotions and feelings affect our body in a variety of ways. For example, feelings of hopelessness affect the body’s hormone system and change the chemical flows within our brains. Different emotional states act as triggers that impact our biology in a variety of ways. Brain activity changes during different emotional states. The list goes on and on.
A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science   demonstrates that different emotional states trigger different physical sensations on the body. Emotions such as anger, impacted the body in a different area compared to the emotion of fear, disgust, happiness, love, depression, and more. Each individual emotion had it’s own unique part of the body that correlated with it.
The study was conducted at Aalto University by a team of bio-medical engineers. 700 volunteers from Finland, Sweden and Taiwan participated in the study.
“Emotions are often felt in the body, and somatosensory feedback has been proposed to trigger conscious emotional experiences. Here we reveal maps of bodily sensations associated with different emotions using a unique topographical self-report method. In five experiments, participants were shown two silhouettes of bodies alongside emotional words, stories, movies, or facial expressions. They were asked to color the bodily regions whose activity they felt increasing or decreasing while viewing each stimulus. Different emotions were consistently associated with statically separable bodily sensation maps across experiments. These maps were concordant across West European and East Asian samples.” (1)

Regardless of race, gender, different emotional states correlated with the same part of the body with the majority of participants.  Usually when you have a group as large as 700 people, your going to get pretty reliable and conclusive results.
“Emotions adjust not only our mental, but our bodily states. This way they prepare us to react swiftly to the dangers, but also to the opportunities such as pleasurable social interactions present in the environment.” Lauri Nummenmaa, assistant professor in an Aalto University press release.
This study is yet another important reminder of how emotions can impact the body. Do you pay attention to the ways in which emotions affect your body, health, and others around you? Finding your inner peace is a great way to improve your health.
How can we let go of emotions that don’t serve us? Let’s take anger for example. Imagine that you are carrying a tank of gasoline, and whatever it is in your external world that upsets you, is the match. These can be concepts, thoughts, people, etc. All you have to do is empty and let go of the tank of gasoline, and the matches can’t start a blaze. You are always in control of your emotions, your reactions are always your choice. It starts with looking at yourself from an external perspective. Nobody else is to blame for your different emotional states but yourself, although it might not always seem that way.
Did you know that your heart emits electromagnetic fields that change according to your emotions? That the human heart’s magnetic field can be measured up to several feet away from the body? That positive emotions create physiological benefits in your body? That you can boost your immune system by conjuring positive emotions? That negative emotions can create a nervous system chaos, but positive emotions do the opposite? For more information on this, check out the tremendous work that scientists and researchers are doing at The Instutue of Hearthmath.

Curious? You should be....

We Have work to do! A lot of work.

Dear Daren,

Thank you for your kind support for Shannon & her family during this most difficult of times. Kaiti was an incredible young woman & beautiful soul inside and out. She loved dance and like her mother she also loved to help people. Shannon's children and mine grew up together and I always admired her tremendous love and commitment to them. As a single mother she made many sacrifices to make sure her children always had their Q. Shannon’s entire life revolved around them. in many ways Kaiti’s life was completely transformed by Q96 and she had a very bright future ahead of her. As one friend put it “Kaiti was destined to do great things in life”.  It is incomprehensible to lose a child under any circumstances; however this is going to be a very long and painful journey for Shannon & her family. It means so much to know that her entire Q Family is behind her and praying for her.

Thank you again Daren

DARRINGTON, Wash. — The landslide on March 22 in the high slope above the community of Oso mowed down a forest. Trees great and small, splintered and tumbling, became part of the slide’s signature, in killing 30 people and leaving 13 others still missing.
But by dint of geography, economics and history here in the North Cascades, a community of loggers and foresters, deeply schooled in clearing timber under dangerous conditions, lived within running distance of the disaster.
Many ran right in.
Those scores of volunteers — some well organized, others almost guerrilla-like in the way they moved in to search for victims as local and federal managers were asserting control — changed the nature of the response to the landslide, even as it changed them.
Families bonded, with generations joining the search for neighbors and friends. Last Sunday, the DeYoung family sent six people into the mud to dig, with a seventh staying back at the Darrington fire station, about 10 miles from the debris field, giving free therapeutic massages to stressed and exhausted responders.

Log Jams Create Problems for Searchers

 
Gov. Jay Inslee of Washington and Lt. Richard Burke of the Bellevue Fire Department discussed the search in Oso, Wash., and explained how log jams have delayed the effort.
Friendships formed as volunteers from far away were folded into the mix. In the parking lot of the IGA Supermarket here the week after the landslide, A former Marine named Doug Cochran spotted two men whom he knew in an instant to be Marines as well, if only by their haircuts and bearing. The two — Joshua Hubel, who had worked with search dogs in the corps, and his friend Justin Thurber — had driven all night from their homes near Portland, Ore., to help, and had no place to stay.
“All Marines are brothers,” Mr. Cochran, 32, said Wednesday night in an interview in his house, explaining the decision that he and his wife, Amanda, made to take the men in. The next morning, with a local veteran added in, they formed a four-man squad and went out to search.
Oso’s landslide was a geological event. A rain-saturated slope gave way just after 10:30 a.m. that Saturday, shattering many families and destroying 49 homes in seconds, as the equivalent mass of three Hoover Dams of earth came crashing down. But beyond the death toll and the physical destruction, which includes a stretch of State Route 530 scoured to virgin soil in places and buried, the disaster was a transformative experience for the surrounding communities, and especially the woodsmen and women who waded in to help.
“Things will never be the same for the community, for all of us,” said Bob DeYoung, 48, a logging contractor who has worked 10 days straight on the pile, as the square-mile debris field is called, often rising at 4:30 or 5 a.m. and returning for dinner at 9 p.m., said his wife, Julie.

But even then, said Mr. DeYoung — 6 feet 8 inches tall and barrel-chested, nicknamed Shrek by his wife — eats only about half what he used to. Not much appetite after seeing what you see out there, he said Wednesday night as he took off his work boots in the garage.
Some loggers talk about tensions between them and federal disaster officials in the debris field over goals and management, especially in the early days when passions and hope for finding survivors ran high and any delay, even for safety, seemed unacceptable.
But gradually, both sides said, a growing respect emerged for the different areas of expertise.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency, working with local and state managers, developed a three-dimensional grid system for searching the hundreds of acres of torn-up earth, and a protocol for sorting personal effects to help pinpoint where a house or a victim might have been. The loggers, bringing in their own heavy equipment for cutting and lifting logs, showed skills that were matched only by their zeal and determination.

Joshua Hubel, who had worked with search dogs in the Marine Corps, drove all night with a friend to help volunteer at the landslide debris field in Oso, Wash.
“FEMA has done a great job on directing us where their experts say the remains will be,” Mr. DeYoung said. “But these logging guys in this valley are the reasons why anything is happening, why any of these recoveries are happening.”
John Bentley, a FEMA urban search and rescue team specialist from Maryland, said the combination of specific skills so important after a woodland disaster like Oso, and the local interconnection of rural families who mostly knew one another, set this event apart.
“This tragedy is more personal,” he said. “This is their mountain, their community, and they know it better than anyone else.”
Cory DeYoung, 28, Mr. DeYoung’s son, lives about 45 minutes from the landslide with his own family. But the sense of a home ground endangered drew him and his wife, Krystal, back to dig last Sunday.

“There’s a duty,” he said.
Mr. Cochran, 32, was an infantryman in the invasion of Iraq in 2003, he said, and now works as a forester. The violence he saw in war, he said, did not prepare him for the aftermath of the violent slide. He said he was struck particularly by the glimpses of life in the moments before everything was lost.
On one day, for example, he worked for three hours with a crew trying to cut into a vehicle that had been hurled into the trees and smashed. The team members, he said, worked with dread, expecting that human remains would be found inside. Instead, all they found were bags of crushed fresh groceries. The story drawn from the evidence was immediately, horrifyingly clear.
“She must have just climbed out of the car, with no time to have brought things in the house when it struck,” Mr. Cochran said. To his knowledge, the body has not been recovered.
For the DeYoungs, even decontamination — a crucial step in a debris field strewn with smashed septic tanks, car engines and household chemicals — became a family affair. After its workday last Sunday, the six-member team returned to Bob and Julie DeYoung’s house here in Darrington, under the shadow of Whitehorse Mountain, and carefully cleaned one another off with a hose in the front yard.
“It was very bonding,” Ms. DeYoung said later, describing that day.
The two Marines from Oregon, meanwhile, said they planned to return.
Mr. Thurber, 23, fresh out of the corps last fall — and footloose, he said, after a recent divorce — was so taken with the people he met and the gorgeous, steeply wooded Cascade landscape that he said he would consider a permanent move if he could find a job.
