All BookWise affiliates received a very encouraging letter today. The letter was from Richard Paul Evans, one of the BookWise founders. In the letter, Richard gave six examples of how the new compensation plan affected six affiliates:

Affiliate A - $2,796 grew to $5,426 (194% increase)                                        Affiliate B - $477 grew to $1,726     (361% increase)                                   Affiliate C - $599 grew to $1,667    (278% increase)                                  Affiliate D - $164 grew to $1,218    (742% increase)                              Affiliate E - $1,054 grew to $2,699  (256% increase)                                     Affiliate F - $105 grew to $873        (831% increase).

Richard also mentioned in the letter that BookWise brought on a new partner, Prosper International. In the past five years Prosper International has sold more than $250 million in mentoring packages. They will now be introducing BookWise to their thousands of clients and building BookWise into their system.

Finally, Richard informed us that BookWise is running at a monthly profit. This is very encouraging as BookWise is offering better benefits now and paying significantly more out in commissions. This also means that BookWise will be around for many years to come.

I finished reading “The Five Lessons a Millionaire Taught Me” by Richard Paul Evans, one of the founders of BookWise. In the last chapter, the importance of giving back, of sharing our wealth is discussed. In the Resources section in the back of the book, there are many examples of how we can win in the margins, by saving money and making extra money. There are also net worth sheets and cash flow sheets which should be filled out periodically. These can us help greatly to get a true picture of our financial life.

Again, I would highly recommend this book. It is very straight forward, very simple to understand, very helpful. It is short in length. It could be read in a couple of days, probably in a couple of hours by a speed reader.

I am reading the book “The Five Lessons a Millionaire Taught Me”‘. I read about two-thirds of the book so far. It is written by Richard Paul Evans, one of the founders of BookWise.

In the first lesson, we are told that we must decide to be wealthy. Lesson two discusses taking responsibility for our money. Knowing how much money you have, where your money comes from, and where your money is going , among other things are discussed in this lesson. In lesson three, keeping a portion of everything you own is discussed. The power of compound interest, starting your nest egg, and buying precious metals are a part of this lesson. Lesson four is the last lesson I read so far. In this lesson, Richard Paul Evans discusses Winning In The Margins. What Winning In The Margins means is finding additional ways to increase contributions to our nest egg. On of the ways to Win In The Margins is BookWise. This was not mentioned in the book because it was written before BookWise was in existence.

The last lesson is about giving back. I am looking forward to reading this lesson as well as all the resources in the back of the book. When I finish reading the book I will report again on it. But I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their financial life.

The conference calls for the new and improved BookWise began this past Tuesday. I heard some of them.

On the Wealth Win call, Richard Paul Evans told us that the call would be conducted on a 4 month cycle. He went into some of the basics of improving our finances. He spoke about winning in the margins.

On the Advanced Wealth Training call, given by Tom Painter, he told us about the website www.inwithadreamoutwithaplan.com. This is a great tool for our financial lives. It tells us where our money is going. It gives us a plan to get where we want to go in our financial lives.

On the Advanced Internet Training call, Daren Falter asked all of us on the call what we wanted to learn. He talked about some internet basics. He spoke about the advantage of outsourcing some of our internet tasks.

One of the calls l missed is the Advanced Business Building call. I will listen to a replay of that call.

I look forward to hearing all of these calls in the future.  I am sure I will learn a great deal about  the BookWise  business, internet marketing, building wealth, and success in general.

I was on a BookWise conference call last night. The call was given by Richard Paul Evans, one of the founders of BookWise. He was very excited about the upcoming changes in BookWise, that will take effect on June 2, 2008.

He spoke about how the commission structure will be much better, how BookWise will be a Success Mentoring Affiliate Program, instead of a network marketing program that sells books. He spoke about how a BookWise affiliate thought she would have to pay $5000 in taxes for the 2007 tax year. But instead, after listening to a BookWise Tax Win call, she found out that she could get a tax refund for approximately $12,000. He also spoke about another BookWise associate who saved $20,000 on his taxes as a result of listening to a Tax Win call.

And taxes are just a small part of the mentoring that goes on in BookWise. And the mentoring is done by the best in the business, people like Richard Paul Evans, Robert G. Allen, Mark Victor Hansen, and Tom Painter.

If you have any questions about BookWise, please leave them in the comments section.

This is an excerpt from an email sent to BookWise associates from Richard Paul Evans. The email is concerning the changes to BookWise that go into effect on June 1, 2008.

Here are the top ten things I’m most excited about.

1. People making real “pay the mortgage–quit the day job” money.
2. A more exciting company with a clear vision, message and strategy.
3. A simplified, easy to understand program.
4. The Legacy Library: A unique, quality product not available anywhere else.
5. A compensation plan that matches our Associates’ behavior.
6. Success mentoring is a proven model.
7. Quick payout. No more waiting months to make money.
8. Five and your membership is free. With the new program, you only need to sign up 5 Affiliates (at your same level) instead of 27 to cover your monthly membership fee.
9. Exciting new tools to build your business, including a new Winning in the Margins presentation.
10. One of the greatest starter kits, the new Affiliate Portfolio in the industry.

Let’s talk about benefit number two-a more exciting company with a clear vision, message and strategy. When our consultants interviewed BookWise Associates and asked WHAT IS BOOKWISE? They got 20 different answers from 20 different people. We’ll tell you what it’s not. It’s not the return of the corner bookstore. It is not a book club. It is still “The most intelligent home-based business in the world”, but that’s not how we’re marketing it.

What is BookWise?

BookWise is life transformation. It is the finest Success Mentoring program in the world.

BookWise is about transforming lives through multiple methods of learning. To borrow Bob’s phrase, Bookwise is ‘Multiple streams of SUCCESS!’– Wealth, Personal Success and Wisdom.

BookWise is not a company selling leather books. The book is a bonus. The mentoring is worth far, far more. And the fantastic news is Success sells! In the Direct Sales industry, Success Mentoring is a proven model and is already part of a growing multi-billion dollar industry. BookWise has the chance to be at the cutting edge of this industry not only because we have access to the greatest information (from both the past and present) through books, CDs, DVDs, Seminars, Webinars and TeleConferences, but because we have access to the greatest success mentors in the world, including Robert G. Allen, Richard Paul Evans, Tom Painter and other industry leaders!

Let me answer one last concern. Was this new program and cost increase really about making BookWise corporate more money? No. Of course we hope it will make us money in the long run, (we have not made a dime of profit yet) but in the short run it only makes you more money. Do the math yourself. The new comp plan pays out much more on the dollar: 50% of a 100% CV vs. the previous 40% of a 75% CV. In real language, we’re paying out 50% instead of 30%, or $25 in commissions instead of $12. We increased the price by 25% and then more than doubled the commissions paid out. Obviously, this was changed to make you more money.

The bottom line is this: This new program was created to help you make money fast and bring you greater value. The plan seems to be working. We have finally attracted some big new players who now feel that BookWise can make them money. We believe June will be an exciting launch and rebirth. A BOOKWISE RENAISSANCE!

I want to thank our awesome leaders and Associates for their presidential actions during this change. For those of you “Blue Vasers” who, like me, are in for the whole journey, I look forward to sharing phase 2. There’s a lot of good to come!
