I received a phone call from a guy today that was interested in getting signed up and started as a LiveGood affiliate. He had a few questions he wanted to ask me before he joined. Towards the end of our conversation he said to me, “I’ll sign up if you can guarantee that I’ll make money.”
I replied, “I can’t make any guarantees, YOUR success is based on YOUR effort.”
And he fires back, “Aha! So this is some kind of scam. How many people are failing at this?”
The conversation went on for a few more minutes, but it was a waste of time and energy for both of us. This guy was cynical, and cynics don’t make good candidates for a business like this.
(Life Tip: It’s OK to be skeptical, but don’t be a cynic. Fun fact: The word “cynic” comes from the GREEK word kynikos, which literally means “like a dog”. In ancient Greed, a philosopher and his pupils who scorned wealth and pleasure were called kynikos.)
Yes I said it, LiveGood is NOT for everyone. And that is OK, it doesn’t have to be for everyone.
(Quick takeaway – Focus on how many people ARE having success at something and NOT how many people are failing. Focus on your own goals.)
When I start something new, I want to know what the top 5% percent are doing and what kind of results they are having. I don’t care to know what the “average” person is doing because average means failing… in every thing in life. I don’t strive to be “average”.

Do Some People Fail As A LiveGood Affiliate?
The answer to this question depends on what your definition of failing (or success is). Often times people tie success to money, but money isn’t the only measure of success. For example, let’s say that someone signs up to be a LiveGood Affiliate but they never make any sales or get any signups. However, they do educate themselves on the products and are learning about improving their own health and wellness.
As a LiveGood member, they get a discount on their own personal purchases and getting great products at the absolute best price, so they are saving money. It’s not far fetched to say that becoming a LiveGood affiliate was the catalyst to someone’s health and wellness improvement journey. It starts with education and awareness, which then leads to action. Maybe they start eating better, exercising regularly, and supplementing with LiveGood’s amazing products.
If someone become a LiveGood affiliate and doesn’t earn commissions, but improves their quality of live by putting an importance on health and fitness, is that considered failing? I don’t think it is.
Even though they didn’t make a dime in commissions, they still improved their life…I’d call that SUCCESS. Maybe their improved habits caused them to be a better husband, a better father, or a better person in general (which has been the case for myself.)

There is no debate on whether or not LivGood is a legitimate business. There are tens of thousands of people having great success as LiveGood affiliates. They are proof of what is possible. When one or two people do something you can call it a fluke. When thousands of people are doing something, that’s proof of what is possible.
Do some fail?
Of course.
Starting any new business is challenging. Results are based on effort. People fail at everything.
What percentage of people that start college end up with a degree? (about 50%) Does that mean college is a scam?
What percentage of new restaurants fail in the first 5 years (about 90%).
We all know someone that got a real estate license with big hopes and dreams, and 6 months later, they weren’t doing it anymore. (Statistic show that around 90% of new real estate agents fail within the first year (again, the definition of “fail” can be subjective to each individual.)
How many new Martial Arts students will end up with a blackbelt (less than 1%)….does that mean Martial Arts classes classes are a scam?
Of course not…you get the jist.
The point is, achieving anything in worthwhile in life is hard. Being extraordinary, doing extraordinary things takes effort, consistency, discipline, and sacrifice.
Being a successful LiveGood Affiliate takes WORK.
While the unsuccessful LiveGood Affiliate is watching the TV, the successful one is working on building their business.
While the unsuccessful person sleeps in on the weekends, the successful person is engaging in personal development. Reading, learning, and growing.
It’s usually simple differences like this that separates a successful individual from an unsuccessful individual.
