Polaris Media Group Is so Much More Than a Business Opportunity

With the economy in the tank and people getting laid off I've been getting a lot of requests for information about Polaris Media Group.

Interestingly enough more than half the people who ask me about my business already have a network marketing or mlm business of some kind that they're involved in but they are still looking for something.

It's with this in mind that I'm writing this post. I know the internet is chock full of people posing as Gurus and business opportunities to make thousands of dollars with little to no effort and if you have a facebook, myspace, twitter or other social media account you get bombarded with this stuff.

First of all, I'm different and so is Polaris Media Group. I am never going to claim to be a Guru or enlightened sage of internet wisdom. How much money I make in my business, is my business. How much money you make in your business will be entirely up to you and that is true no matter what business opportunity you run with.

Some people like to run fast, some run slow. Some people like profits of pennies per sale and are happy building teams of thousands to make some extra money. Building a team of tens of thousands of associates to earn a few thousand dollars a month does not interest me. That sounds way too much like a job and I started my Polaris Media Group Business to leave the rat race behind forever.

Personally I like to run fast, especially when it comes to business. If not for the mentors who taught me everything I know today, I don't know where I'd be. I took what they taught me, applied it, and it freakin worked! The trick is to meet and work with the right people with the right system. It took a money investment, hard work, determination, persistence and some hair pulling, but damn it was worth it! If anyone wants to know the nuts and bolts of how I'm doing this then contact me.

I warn you though and I'm not kidding here. I only want to work with people on my team who are serious and willing to work hard at achieving their goals. I work with people who are like me in this respect. I do not tolerate whiners or those who want to make fast money with little or no effort on their part. If you are like that please look elsewhere. I am looking for people that understand starting a business takes money (theirs), time and what could be called a Rock Star attitude. So let's get this show on the road.

Polaris Media Group retails and wholesales products to a wide range of people. Some are retail customers only, some buy at wholesale and some take advantage of the business model to create a business they can call their own with residual income and excellent up front profits.

So here's how it works. Are you currently looking for a business opportunity? If you are, the ball will be in your court to get back to me if you want more information. As I mentioned before I'm confident you already get barraged with the latest and greatest opps in the world and out of respect for your time you probably don't want me bugging you too. Plus out of respect for my time, I have other fish to fry as well, so here is a brief description of what I do.

Polaris Media Group and I specialize in personal development, free enterprise and positive media. I own what I like to call a lifestyle company building a customer base one person at a time with products that give much more value than the price tag requires for their purchase.

Our product line begins with $29.95 DVDs that introduce customers to the world of Personal Development and include interactive web based modules that actually engage the customer and challenge them to begin to make positive changes in their life by implementing principled actions in their daily life while interacting with other people who are at a similar point in the self actualization process. We're a community of people on a similar journey sharing our experiences and helping each other.

We also produce documentaries like this:

Trailer for the documentary "Unbeaten" hosted by Dan Aykroyd and featuring "A Better Life" by Clint Black. http://bit.ly/505xpc

We offer home study courses that range from 90 day study to 270 consecutive days. The best comparison of this product would be to say the above mentioned DVDs are High School or Jr. College courses and the Beyond Freedom Evolution home study course is two semesters of college where the subject studied is Personal Development and you interact live with class mates, your professor and people who have already completed the program.

Beyond Freedom Evolution is actually broken into three 90 day modules which are sold separately or all together, they are Departure, Decision and Action.

Here is a two minute trailer on Beyond Freedom Evolution:

Departure puts you with other entrepreneurs who have successfully "departed from the herd" http://bit.ly/4pm4yZ

Our entrepreneurial education curriculum combines the hands on education of starting a home based business following a proven system while participating in the "Beyond Freedom Evolution" curriculum. We provide the Business Model Blueprint, coaching and training (ie., marketing, mind set, prospecting) and you will work one on one with people who are getting results right now in their business using exactly the same tools you are using. You capitalize your own business; provide the willingness to learn and elbow grease to get the job done.

Additionally we have three conferences. They are the Foundation Live Event, Sovereignty Live and Influence Live Events. These conferences tie into entrepreneurial education by providing an environment where successful people associate with each other in exotic locations around the world several times a year. It is a proven fact that the people you associate with and identify with will have as much or more influence over your income as your education does so we put people together with people who are already successful and earning a substantial income.

Our product line is growing and new products are introduced regularly so your customers who have elected to purchase a DVD will continue to find new products of interest they can purchase from you be it another DVD, drive time CDs, books, home study courses or conference tickets. Some of your retail customers will even want to partner with you in the entrepreneurial education portion of the curriculum.

For these people, Polaris Media Group provides all the training and resource materials for you. You do not train your own business partners, instead they will receive their training from successful, experienced top producers in the company and most often they will interact one on one with their coaches and trainers.

I invite you to check out the other links and blog posts which should give you a better feel for who I am and my adventure with Polaris Media Group.

What Are The Personal Development Proucts REALLY Like Part II: Beyond Freedom Evolution

Ok so I'll have to admit I was really surprised at what was included in the Beyond Freedom Course 'classic'. (The full Beyond Freedom Evolution cirriculum is being released in January of 2010 so I'll be updating this post then) I've been a long time consumer of Tony Robbins and Nightingale-Conant and I'm used to home study courses. Typically they have a little one page introduction with listings of more products to buy, sometimes a booklet or pamphlet with study notes and then the CD's or cassette tapes.

When the FedEx truck pulled up to my house and the driver handed me the box I was surprised by its size and how much it weighed. This was obviously not your basic home study course. A fact which has been proven to me over and over again as I have continued to study the material (at least a half dozen times) in the past few years. There is a DVD, CD's, goal cards, Journaling System, 90 day workbook with interactive exercises and luxuriously packaged.

The first thing I did was pop the DVD into my player and was impressed with the quality of production and how professional it was.

I've purchased a lot of products and programs over the years and many direct sales companies skimp on their audio/video stuff but not Polaris Media Group (formerly Liberty League International). It was obvious this DVD wasn't filmed with a Circuit City video camera and thrown together on a lap top. It had more the appearance of having come from a Hollywood film studio (which turns out not to be too far off the mark).

Everything was top notch and it was obvious that Polaris Media Group had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars producing the audios, videos and printed materials, right down to the ink pen which fit ergonomically in my hand and the ink flowed onto my workbook like silk.

Well so much for the fluff, the real question on my mind was about the materials.

You see I've been an information/personal development junkie since the late 70's and I had a lot of first class material to compare this program against.

My first impression on reviewing the printed material was the obvious fact it had 'meat and potatoes" not some wishy-washy vague philosophy like so much stuff that seems to be really popular and touchy feeley.

The principles, exercises and philosophy behind the Beyond Freedom program is practical, use it now, today kind of stuff. This program explains how your present circumstances (the things most people want to change) are an outward reflection of your present mindset and collective years of thought processes.

Beyond Freedom explains the nuts-and-bolts detail about what you must do today to begin changing your circumstances and start attracting more of the things you want in life while getting rid of the bad habits and thinking that has been holding you back and attracting the kind of situations you're unhappy about.

Each day the program works kind of like a spotlight, illuminating one specific area at a time in our daily routine be it marriage, parenting, physical health, emotional health, spirituality, finances...and the list goes on and on. Because the course literally teaches you HOW to use your thoughts and mind to your greatest advantage you will begin to impact virtually every area of your life in a way that will produce massive results. Upon illumination the course provides simple (not always easy to do) to follow instructions for effecting change in your thinking...immediately

And isn't that what I paid for?

Now before I go any further, I must do a little disclaimer here...

The student must be willing, ready and able to embrace this material in order to see changes in their own life. This statement applies to all self improvement and personal development products, especially one as powerful as this course. By saying this, I mean you simply must have a desire to get out of the rut you find yourself in and actually believe in your own ability to make these changes.

After literally tearing the program apart, dissecting the exercises and comparing what is taught in Beyond Freedom to any and all of the previous home study courses I've taken, my determination is that this course is the best example of a product that was under-promised to me and way over-delivered by the company.

Not only is the home study course an effective combination of practical, principle based activities anybody can do but as a part of the educational experience I've aslo received online interaction with other people who are studying the same program, many have studied it for years and are using the material to do things like make five figure incomes in one week, retire their spouses and change their zip codes. Because I not only purchased the home study course but I also took advantage of the income opportunity I've also been able to mastermind with millionaires on the telephone, real live 'in the flesh' multiple seven figure income earners(annual). Because I bought the conference tikets and attended the events (many times now) I've met the founder of the company and most if not all of the other top earners in the company and masterminded with them in person. This is one on one mentoring with people who walk the talk and use these principles in their every day life!

Let me just say..."If integrity is everything (which it IS) then Polaris Media Group far exceeds my most demanding expectations."

No other program on the market that I have found offers these advantages at any price so you can't simply buy this kind of education at the local bookstore or online catalogue. The only problem I really found with Beyond Freedom's personal development and Polaris Media Group's entrepreneurial skills education is they should probably sell them for a whole lot more than they currently do and here's why:

At $2,285 there are certainly a 'percentage' of people who would buy the course take out a CD, listen to it on the way to work and probably never really commit to going through the program every day for 90 days straight. People tend to just throw something on the credit card and forget it. These are the same people who will buy an exercise course, bike, or membership to the gym, charge the $250 to $1,000 cost and then never use the equipment all the while complaining they're not losing weight.

If Polaris charged the $10,000 this program is easily worth I'm positive more of the people who bought it would give it the attention it deserves...

and consequently they would be living the life they deserve.

What Are the Personal Development Products REALLY Like? Part I: Beyond Freedom Evolution home study course

I love to learn.

I'm  a sponge when it comes to acquiring new knowledge.

When I was a kid and got a camera for my birthday I took it apart to see how it worked and then put it back together (yes it still worked).

You could even say I'm an information junkie.

If there's a good book, tape set or other resource available that will give me more knowledge and pieces to the puzzle than I presently have, you'll find me with credit card drawn or cash in hand at the book store quicker than you can "personal development."

More than ten years ago I spent well over $8,000 getting a series 6 and 63 securities license and this was in addition to my other licenses for insurance, annuitites and real estate brokerage. I'd be willing to bet that in a just few short years I spent well over $30,000 on education and related products which doesn't include travel, tuttion and materials for required 'continuing education.' For those of you who don't know, continuing education allows a person like a Real Estate Broker to keep their real estate license once they have it. You're required to complete so many hours in a certain number of years to qualify for renewal of your license.

So I ask you, whats the price tag of an decent education? Is it worth it? Well for me, it was at the time, because I knew (at the time) that was the direction I wanted to go in my career. It was also the price I had to pay in order to do the things I wanted to do. It was a 'necessary expense' so I could make a multiple six figure income using those licenses. So for me, it was worth it at the time.

Part of the education I received taught me how to trade my time for money. This is a lesson all good employees learn so I learned how to work 90 hour weeks and among other things how to find good express hotels close to airports, and spend most of my life away from my family. At that time in my life, I had three small children growing up and their mom who stayed at home was raising them without me (we ended up divorced).

Durring my illustrious career as a Business and Real Estate Broker I became involved in the Personal Developmnt Industry. It started with stuff by Brian Tracy, Earl Nightingale, Vic Conant, Bob Proctor, Dennis Waitley, Tony Robbins and many others. I spent thousands of dollars attending seminars, buying books and tapes and had a pretty impressive library of my own "Personal Development" products and books like well known timeless classics like "Think and Grow Rich" and "The Power of The Subconscious Mind."

So when I bumped into a company that offered 'Personal Development Products' combined with a business opportunity, I immediately got involved.

I bought the original Beyond Freedom home study course for $1,495 which sounded pretty cheap compared to what I had already been through. Besides, I knew I could study it in a hotel room as effectively as I could if I were home and this product was supposed to be differet. I could use this program to begin thinking like an entrepreneur and learn to make changes in my life by starting my own business and earning profits instead of wages. Plus I figured if it could actually change my life, I would be in a business that changed other peoples lives as well and that idea really appealed to me.

I soon found myself purchasing tickets for the Liberty and Summit conferences. This was mostly a business decision to take advantage of the compensation plan and therby fully position my business for maximum profits ($14,000/customer potential). Within six months I retired from Real Estate and the rat race for good.

As providence would have it all good things come to an end and in this case the end came in the form of a transformation. Liberty League transformed like a catterpillar into a butterfly when company founder Shane Krider launched Polaris Media Group.

I quickly got past my skepticism about the multitude of companies that reinivent themselves and end up DOA along with all the negative garbeage I had read and heard about on the news and internet.

Things keep getting better all the time, PMG gave me credit for the $1,495 I had spent on the original Beyond Freedom program which makes the $2,285 purchase price for the Beyond Freedom Evolution launch package home study course an even better bargain for me. 

So what's the difference between the original program and the newest version? The original program was a single 90 day home study course. The Beyond Freedom Evolution program contains three modules (Departure, Decision, Action)and each one is designed to take 90 days from start to finish. Plus each module has interactive portions that provide the student with feedback and coaching from people who are actually using the principles being taught to make changes in their own lives while they are earning a lot of money as an entrepreneur.

When I was master minding with Yaro about starting this blog, two important questions came to mind.

First: What's the difference between Beyond Freedom Evolution and all the rest of the 'Self Improvement,' and Personal Development products, programs, books, courses and seminars out there?

Second: Couldn't I just go down to the book store or jump online and buy the books that teach the same thing and spend a lot less in the process?

I'll answer the second question first...No...not based on my experience.

You see I already did that. Over the course of several years I had purchased most of the producst available on the market. I addition to owning a library of this stuff I did what most people don't do, I actually read the books and studied the materials. I could quote many of the authors and applied most of the techniques they taught. I learned a bunch and I woudn't trade that knowledge for anything however none of those programs helped me set myself free (financially and emotionally, mentaly and spiritually free) and become an entrepreneur.

Now to answer the first question, I believe the major difference between Beyond Freedom Evolution and "ALL" the other stuff available today boils down to hands on experience with "Real Live Mentors" who are actually using the same exact principles being taught and they are actually getting the kind of results I wanted to get.

One other comparison worthy of note is the fact that with Polaris Media Group, my millionaire mentors (coaches) are actually real live people I can meet in person if I chose to do so. In addition to that with PMG my mentors are walking the talk.

You see with the other programs I took where I paid several thousand dollars for coaching and mentoring what I got was a salaried employee on the other end of the phone who had been trained to 'phone coach.' The problem with that is that this employee wasn't using or applying the principles they were teaching me and if they were they certainly weren't using them to make a multiple six and seven figure income. They were salaried employees for Pete's sake. So I didn't really get what I was paying for with those other 'coaching and mentoring' programs.

By investing in myself with Beyond Freedom Evolution and running a Home Based Business all at the same time I put two of the most important ingredients into place for my success. Polaris Media Group provides the 'missing ingredients' that other companies and products dont offer like a profit model aka., compensation plan, platinum products, manufacturing, warehousing and drop shipping, customer service, millionaire mentors, conferences, ongoing training for me and my new associates...etc.

A great way of explaining this would be to compare using the Beyond Freedom Evolution cirriculum and business model for starting a business with a college level course on personal development and entrepreneurism, except in college you don't get to actually make money until you graduate and when you do graduate you still have to figure out what your niche is, develop your products, manufacture them, warehouse them, handle shipping, customer service, legal issues... etc.

Polaris Media Group has brilliantly combined the best of both worlds so that a student who;

• willingly applies themselves to the material every day (independantly studies and reads),
• attends class (training calls with millionaire mentors in PMG)
• and does the homework (daily method of operation DMO aka., income producing activity)
• will achieve measurable results (profits with PMG) 
• and will graduate or pass the class (set themselves free financially, mentally & spiritually).

PMGs Beyond Freedom Evolution program is 270 days start to finish in which time a student who is becoming an entrepreneur by starting a home basd business business can follow the instructions and DMO (daily method of operation) by plugging into the system and make a six figure income with the PMG compensation plan. No College or Universty or other personal development program or company and no other direct sales, network marketing or multi level marketing company in the world has anything that compares to this.
