Polaris Media Group Kicks off 2010 in a Big Way with Three Foundation Live Events on 3 Continents

One of the newest products introduced to the Polaris Media Group is the one day Foundation Live Event and 2010 will long be remembered for three round the world events held on three different continents in January.

These inaugural events were held in conjunction with the traditional New Years Kick off Parties that Polaris Media Group Distributors have come to look forward to every year.

The new year kick off parties and Foundation Live events were held in San Francisco January 9th and 10th then on to the Gold Coast of Australia the 16th and 17th, wrapping up the world tour in Europe in the great city of Prague on the 30th & 31st.

Distributors from all over the world got together sharing successes from 2009 and high expectations for the coming year with the introduction of new products like Documentaries, Personal Development and Entrepreneurial Skills Education.

The first module of the expanded Beyond Freedom Home Study Course "Departure" began shipping just after the 1st of the year and many distributors had already begun a new study of the principles which are fundamental to success in all walks of life including entrepreneurship.

The second documentary film "Unbeaten" was released at the Foundation Live event in San Francisco and is now available for sale to the public for $24.95.

The Foundation Live guest speakers Scott Burrow and Oz Sanchez who is featured in the film "Unbeaten" provided inspiration and thoughtful reflection about life's challenges and hardships and more importantly insight on how to overcome even when all the odds are stacked against you.

In addition to the information, study, learning and thoughtful engagement those who attended these events were able to network with each other providing an environment where thousands of successful entrepreneurs who are achieving success in their home based business networked, exchanged ideas and contributed to the success stories of the new distributors who were attending their first event.

Polaris Media Group provides their distributors with a community of like minded people who are getting real results today where $5,000 to $30,000 weekly incomes are common using the Polaris Media Business Model and principles taught in the Beyond Freedom Evolution home study course. If the Harvard study that found 25% of a person's annual net income is directly related to the kind of people they have in their inner circles then it isn't surprising Polaris Media Group distributors hold industry records for monthly personal net income.

I know those who attended these events have headed back home with more knowledge and tools to expand their businesses and take the kind of actions required to make lasting positive changes in their personal and professional lives. The unique combination of personal development home study curriculum, entrepreneurial skills education from a proven business model, a community of successful entrepreneurs and ongoing mentoring, coaching and training of new distributors with top earners in the industry is helping attendees move closer to achieving their goals and the life they want.

One of the resounding messages given at the Foundation Live event is that each and every person has within them the power to re-create their lives and make the changes necessary to live a life of true freedom and abundance regardless of the barriers they may be facing right now. This is a brand new year and a brand new decade, don't hold back. Just go for it!

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 III: Sovereignty Live Conference

In my last post I outlined the Beyond Freedom Evolution home study course. If you were familiar with Liberty League International (original company that designed the course) you may also know they had two conferences, a Liberty Conference and a Summit Conference. The Polaris Media Group has taken the best of what Liberty League's products offered and expanded them as well as adding several new products. Beyond Freedom is becoming Beyond Freedom Evolution, the Liberty Conference is becoming the Sovereignty Live Conference and the Summit Conference is becoming the Influence Live Conference.

Essentially what this means to me and the customer is that the CEO and Founder of Polaris Media Group, Shane Krider, the Customer Service Staff and the Executive Marketing Committee have a ten year track record in the Personal Development, Entrepreneurial Skills Training, Direct Sales and Network Marketing arena. In other words, this isn't our first rodeo.

The Sovereignty Live Conference is a three day event held in an exotic locale that focuses on how to apply the principles taught and discussed in the Beyond Freedom home study course.

The Influence Live Conference is a five day event held in an even more exclusive location and it teaches everything from financial strategies to help you get your money working for you to really specific entrepreneurial education and it brilliantly ties in the principles taught in personal development.

All of the guest speakers are living and doing the same exact types of things we teach in our curriculum so the integration of information is seamless and often people will come home from a live event and begin experiencing massive growth in their personal and business life because they are able to activelyab apply the things they learned at the conference to their own lives and business. Plus when we get home from an event we are still plugged into this community and learning process so the conference never really nds.

I will take just a moment to digress here. I say digress because I want to mention that I have personally paid several thousand dollars to attend conferences that other programs offered. One such conference was hosted by Anthony Robbins and he was a great motivational speaker but...

Most of what I learned in those two days had no "integration" directly into my daily home and business life. Yes there were lots of principles covered and several how to sessions but the difference between what he offered and what I've experienced at a live Polaris Media Group event were night and day. My experience with other live events almost kept me from attending my first Polaris live event because I was comparing what I knew from my past to what I thought I would see in my future and that was almost a very expensive mistake.

Fortunately I didn't make that mistake or I wouldn't be writing this blog and I wouldn't have made thousands of dollars with the business opportunity because of my decision to be a Polaris Media Group Director.

Now back to the discussion about the products. I'll sum it up in two words... First Class

The Sovereignty Live Conference isn't your basic MLM conference in an aging Holiday Inn somewhere. It's not a deal where you show up at the Marriott in Orlando with a couple hundred people from your MLM company with stuffy company training or business building information.

We're not a bunch of stuffy business people, in fact you'll find a wide diversity of people from housewives and CEOs, to car salesmen, insurance brokers, former real estate agents (like me), former police officers and investment bankers attending our events and taking advantage of the products and business opportunity to get out of the rat race for good.

You could say that once you've made the decision to be a part of the Polaris Media Group, make financial and personal life changes that set your family free from the daily grind you let your hair down a bit and have some fun.

This isn't the kind of event where the CEO and Top Producers of the Company are safely staged behind velvet ropes and inaccessible. Not at all, in fact you'll shake hands with and enjoy conversation with most of the Executive Marketing Committee, Founder of the Company and top income earners and have time after the sessions to pick their brains pool side or just relax and enjoy a cigar while masterminding with millionaires.

The Polaris Media Group live events are first class events held in exotic locations and features world-class speakers. Past speakers have included Michael Losier the bestselling author of "the Law of Attraction," Randy Gage, Patrick Combs, Andy Andrews best selling author of "the Travelers Gift" a modern day Will Rogers who has done four command performances for four U.S. Presidents and consultant for companies like Microsoft, Bob Proctor, Doug Weed personal advisor to several Presidents of the U.S., and many more.

A week ago October 12th thru the 14th Polaris Media Group held it first ever Sovereignty Live Conference at the beautiful El Conquistador resort in sunny Puerto Rico.

Stormy Island

I'd love to tell you I'm writing this from my balcony overlooking the Atlantic at the El Conquistador Resort in Puerto Rico...but I'm not. I'm back home in my home office putting together notes from one of the most dynamic conferences the world of Personal Development has ever seen.

View from the balcony

The first full day was jam packed including a quick bite for breakfast and then off to Palamino Island on a tender. This place is really cool and has tons of activities like jet-skiing, snorkeling, and just relaxing on the beach.

Looking the other way on the balcony

The official start of the conference is a kick off reception with the red carpet rolled out in a dramatic way; lots of food, local entertainment and recognition for some of the company's leaders. The first full day includes a general session which runs from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 ish with a break for lunch.

Neal Petersen

If you've never had an opportunity to see Neal Petersen live you're missing out on an extremely dynamic speaker. This guy grew up in apartheid South Africa where opportunities for colored folks were few. He built his own sail boat and basically sailed around the world. He started out knowing very little about navigation but was determined to succeed so he took with him a sextant and a how to book on how to use a sextant. He learned by doing and personifies the kind of entrepreneurial spirit and skill we teach with Polaris Media Groups Beyond Freedom Evolution and business model.

This conferences line up also included Yossi Ghinsberg whose story of survival in the Amazon rain forest is worth hearing many times if for no other reason than to remind myself how easy my life really is.

Yassi Ghinsberg

Also Steve Donahue shared his accounts of crossing the Sahara desert at the age of 20 and the realization that maps are great if the landscape isn't always changing like the shifting sands of the desert. His recommendation is you get yourself a good compass in life and follow it no matter what map you're looking at.

Steve Donahue

This Sovereignty Live Conference was the best organized most professional and powerful live event anyone could ever attend. Words of course can't do it justice and pale in comparison to being there. The cost of the Sovereignty Live event is $7995 for two people not including travel, most meals and lodging.

When I compare what I get out of a Polaris live event to my experience with a Robert Kiyosaki (who by the way is brilliant) live event for two days at the "Pepsi Center" in Denver Colorado where I paid a very similar amount of money (excluding the travel and resort destination etc.), well...let's just say Polaris Media Group is in a class all by its self and I'll be attending many more of their live events. Robert is good in person and his books "Rich Dad Poor Dad" and "The Cash Flow Quadrant" are MUST reads if you want to really understand money, finance and real estate investing, but isn't good enough for me to keep going back to see him in person.

I'll review the other products in future blog posts, this one got kind of long because the live event occurred about the same time I wrote it so I threw both of them in together. By the way...if you're curious about where the Influence Live Conference is being held in March of 2010 it will be in Maccau, China right across the bay from hong Kong! We'll talk more about this conference in my next post.

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.

Join me tomorrow for part two on the products.

Welcome to my Polaris Media Group blog

Welcome! This blog about Polaris Media Group was inspired on a friday afternoon while master minding with another entrepreneur (Yaro Starak) who hosts an excellent blog about blogging, web 2.0 marketing and making money online http://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com/about/. The initial question that came up was "is it real or is it a scam?"

It occured to me that the recent launch (09-09-09) of Polaris Media Group is already creating an intense amount of discussion online about whether or not Polaris Media Group really is all it claims to be. What better than an "insiders" prospective with a candid outlook from my former experience as a Business Broker, Realtor and lifetime student of personal development and entrepreneurial education.

• Does the Beyond Freedom Evolution home study course really teach principles that will allow you to create a major lifestyle change that is long lasting or is it just a flash in the pan?
• Is it really possible to create a six-figure income within the next six to twelve months?
• Are there REALLY people who are earning $15k, $60k, even $100k every month in Polaris Media Group working fifteen to thirty hours a week from home?
• Are these people regular work a day people or just a handful or "heavy hitters" (professional internet marketers) that jumped on the launch of a new company?
• What does it take for the average person to get these kinds of results?

These are great questions that Yaro brought to mind. It's my pledge to present the no-hype, no BS, just the facts answers to these questions to clarify exactly what Polaris Media Group is, are the products effective and whether or not the business opportunity is really as lucrative as is claimed by the company and in their testamonials.

So this is a journey, the course is set and I know you'll find this an incredible opportunity to see through my eyes. If you're trying to figure out if Polaris Media Group is going to be your cup of tea, you might even find the information here to be a bit of an eye-opener!
