100 people, 100 millionaires. Was
it possible?
Curious?
Maybe,
like me, you want to know more. When you're talking about
a million dollars, you're talking about the benchmark of wealth.
The starting point.
Questions: How are they going to do this? When are they going
to do this? Why are they doing it? And of course, who will
be these one hundred people, and where will they come from?
Interestingly enough, when I was sharing this story with a
friend, he wanted to know how he could get his name on the
list of one hundred. I thought: I bet thousands would like
to know that. Curiosity
killed the cat, and it was killing me too, so I placed a couple
of phone calls to track down these two millionaire-makers
and set up an interview.
I wasn't sure what to expect from people who have such lofty
goals but I knew at the very least I was in for an interesting
experience. It turns out that Brad and Marcia
are ordinary people that like to do extraordinary things.
Like starting a marketing group two and a half years ago that
generates over twenty million in sales today. What's so extraordinary
about that? For starters, they don't have an office, manufacturing
company, warehouse or employees.
As Marcia
says "All we need is a cell phone and access to
the internet and we can do business from anywhere
in the world." Explaining that their love to travel
and recent vacations to Cabo San Lucas, Paris France
as well as the many cruises they take, doesn't impede
their ability to do business, she says, "We take
our lap tops, cell phones, nanny and children and
we're off to another city or country for as long
as we want. At the same time if we choose to stay
home, enjoy life here in Vegas, we can run our business
by the pool." |
| Marcia,
originally from Idaho, for 12 years owned her own manufacturing
and marketing company. While being very successful and
enjoying perks-such as owning a private plane with a
pilot on call twenty four-seven-going into an office
everyday and dealing with employees became less and
less attractive.
"It seems the more successful
the company became, the more time I was putting in;
taking away the freedom to do the things I love to do.
I wanted my life back", Marcia says.

Brad Hager grew up in North
Carolina and moved West about ten years ago. In his
earlier days he worked on the freight docks for trucking
companies, eventually working his way to a supervisor
position, and then into sales. The excitement of working
for a Fortune 200 company, having a company car and
expense account soon faded when the downsizing started.
Brad says around this time a friend lit the entrepreneur
spark in him, which turned into a flame that has never
gone out. |

Hager
decided to cast off the corporate chains and step
out on his own. He became an independent contractor
and began building sales teams for various marketing
companies. Success soon followed and Brad
built a sales organization of over 65,000 people in
14 countries. With people on his team making hundreds
of thousands of dollars a year, Brad
realized he could teach people how to make money…
and a lot of it.
He talked about it and, in his zeal
for what he was excited by became one of the top motivational
speakers and trainers in the country. His forte is
sales but his expertise is personal growth. "I love
to help people improve. I believe in the philosophy
that your income growth will never ever exceed your
personal growth," Brad says. Because
of this belief that he has passed along, some of the
men and women that he's trained now earn more in a
week than the average American earns in a year. Which
brings us to the one hundred millionaires. When you
combine Brad and Marcia's
talents with their passion for helping other people
and their unwavering belief in freedom, lives will
be changed. |

When the Hagers became independent contractors and
started their new marketing group in May of 2001,
two things were certain: They were going to build
a large sales team and the people on this team were
going to make big money without giving up the freedom
to do the things they enjoy. Brad and Marcia believe
in the adage, "Happiness comes to he who works and
plays but doesn't know the difference."
To challenge themselves and motivate
others the Hagers set a goal to create
one hundred millionaires. They are well on their way.
At the time of this printing they have 30,000 people
on their team, with millions of dollars of commissions
being paid each year. They believe it will take three
to five more years to accomplish their goal, at which
time they may decide to go for some billionaires.

When asked,
"What do you look for in a person for the millionaire
mentoring program?" both Brad and Marcia
agree on three things: First, a person must be willing
to work. Hard. Expect no free lunches.
Second, be extremely teachable;
willing to change. Third-and above all-you must have
a vision. As Helen Keller once said, "Better to be
blind than have sight and no vision." bodyw agrees,
saying, "There are two types of people in the
world: Those who think they can, and those who think
they can't, and they're both right. So, just think
you can." I had to ask one more question (for my friend
of course). "Have you gotten all one hundred
or do you have room for more people to be part of
the millionaire mentoring program?"
Their reply was pretty
straight forward, "You've heard it said that while
many are called, few will be chosen? Most people want
to be millionaires. Lots of people will start the
journey but some tire and turn back along the way.
This is a marathon not a sprint. We're still adding
to the team and will continue to do so until the last
of the one hundred has crossed the finish line." |
| As I drove
away, my heart was warm and my spirit was lifted.
Curiosity satisfied. I have a smile on my face because
I have a strongsuspicion that nothing will stand in
the way of Brad and Marcia creating one hundred millionaires.
