Hello Life Community Members, Here is of the latest and greatest 200 club promotional event with the Kaizen Dynasty and Freedomchasers teams.
I want to say thank you to Claude Hamilton and Orrin Woodward for putting us in a position to take advantage of such an amazing community called LIFE. After just four and a half years of joining them in business, I would never have imagined the friends I have made and the experiences I have had. Thank you both for all that you do to ensure people in North America have a chance to succeed in business and in LIFE.
Here is a post about the awesome adventure we had with the group of people we took to Kartbahn back in April. This is another example about the FRIENDS and FUN we have in building communities of people. We ran a 200 Club promotion for anyone on our team in Nova Scotia, PEI & New Brunswick. Those who qualified were invited to join us at Kartbahn Indoor Karting and now KB Tactical. We were organized into six groups of racers. Each group would have a practice race, than a qualifying race. After the qualifying race the top 8 qualifiers for the females and the top 8 for the males raced in two final races for the championship trophies.
Kartbahn Indoor Karting
The practice and qualifying sessions were Fast and Furious. As you can see in the picture there are many tight corners and barricades. Many racers ended up in the walls. The postitive side to this was that each cart had a reverse gear to keep the flow of traffic moving. Everyone had 2 chances to get their fastest lap times. The strategy was to clear your path of other racers and be able to make a full lap with no one in your way. The top 8 fastest laps were chosen to determine the final race.
Here are the fastest qualifiers for the women.

After 12 rounds of karting we were ready for the finals. The finals are a different style of race. It was a Grand Prix style race were the top 8 drivers line up and start as the green flag is dropped. Then it is the driver who finishes 12 laps first that wins the trophy.
Congratulations to Kelsey Withrow as she took the women final by never losing her pole position right to the end. Whats was most impressive about Kelsey’s day was that she had the Third overall fastest lap of the day and I am sorry to say it but she was even .219 seconds faster then me. We saw some pretty aggressive driving…. but in the end it was Kelsey on top. She had her victory lap with the checkered flag. Way to go Kels!
When everything was said and done and the dust cleared, it was Jon LaPierre on top for the men with a pretty impressive day at the race track. Way to go Jon! Above are 2 pictures of Jon and Kelsey with their 1st place trophies. Overall we had a ton of fun with the guys from Kartbahn and KB Tactical, everyone had a blast. Stay tuned for more fun with friends on the life team.
Here is a picture of the guns that were used for laser tag. This is NOT your typical laser tag where we shoot people in a vest. This is Mission Based Laser Tag where you have to shoot people in the head. This was a ton of fun. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and had to work as a team to win any game. Overall this was a huge successful promotional event. Special Thanks goes out to Matt Veinotte, Alex working the front desk and all the stuff on the race track and in the laser tag room. You guys made the whole evening run smoothly and quickly. Thanks again for everything
Thanks again to all the directors that put this event on, it was a huge success. If you were part of all the pandemonium and would like to tell us about your night that would be awesome. Just leave a comment at the bottom.
Hey everyone, here is a very important book that hits the bookstores on April the 16th. This book to me will go down as one of the most popular book launches in history. What ever you do, get to one of these book signing and pick up a copy of Leadershift – A call for americans to finally stand up and lead. Even thou I live in Canada this book applies to all governments and I believe that with this information we will be able to reshape our countries and get ready for the next freedom shift. Are You In?
This is an article by the author Orrin Woodward talking about the book and also I have put the dates and locations for the book signings and speaking engagements. Tell me your thoughts on what you think this book will change in our culture or feel free to share any of your thoughts on this book.
All the best in LIFE,
Alex Nickerson
We are six days away from the official launch of LeaderShift. The book signing tour has been announced, the book will be in all the bookstores across North America, and we have radio interviews scheduled across America. What exciting time to be alive with a dream. In this case, the dream is to restore hope and freedom for society at large.
An increase in government (beyond internal and external defense) leads to a decrease in society’s freedoms. Therefore, the only way to limit government is by limiting the funds fed to government and holding those responsible who are assigned to use funds wisely. Since no one is capable of watching over a government as large as Washington DC, we must break government down into bite-sized pieces where local leaders can lead and oversee its proper functioning.
My friend Oliver DeMille was a complete joy to work with in this project. He sees things from a different perspective on many issues; however, he also loves to think and reason. Consequently, even when he have disagreed, after reviewing the underlying principles, we hay typically improved the book and proposal beyond what it was to begin with. Oliver is a walking encyclopedia on the Founding generation, but isn’t dogmatic in his beliefs which makes him an amazing student of history and leadership. He has certainly made me better as a thinker, person, and leader. This is true synergy and what makes our LeaderShift partnership work so well.
In fact, we have already started the second LeaderShift book and it is coming together nicely. We are in earnest in our belief that a leadershift can and will be launched on April 16th. When Western Civilization was ailing and needed leaders who would speak truth with love and courage, never let is be said that there wasn’t enough courageous men and women to answer the call. Below is a preview of LeaderShift.
“A lot of people are starting to realize something really important,” said the New York Times bestselling leadership author, Orrin Woodward. “They’re figuring out that Washington isn’t going to fix its problems anytime soon, that things are probably going to get worse in our politics and the economy until real leadership is found outside of government.”
Orrin Woodward and Oliver DeMille have written a new book that literally takes on the project of fixing America. The book is LeaderShift: A Call for Americans to Finally Stand Up and Lead. “Politicians just aren’t going to fix our problems,” DeMille said, “not in Washington, Ottawa, London, Sacramento, Albany or anywhere else. If things are going to get fixed, the leadership will almost certainly come from business. And network businesses are among the most important source of building leaders in our current society.”
According to their book, a LeaderShift is coming. But just what is a LeaderShift? As Woodward and DeMille put it, “Every once in a while in history, a LeaderShift occurs. It usually comes unexpectedly, and it transforms the world for at least a generation.” Past LeaderShifts include:
The historical switch from kings and chiefs as the top leaders to community fathers such as doctors, lawyers and town merchants
The 1880-1920’s transition from city fathers as the main leaders to titans of industry, like Carnegie, Morgan and Rockefeller
The 1940-1970’s shift from business tycoons as the top leaders to managers, spurred by the work of Edward Deming and innovators from Jack Welch to Sam Walton
The 1980-1990’s transition from managers to leaders, influenced by sages like Buckminster Fuller, Earl Nightingale and Stephen Covey
The authors argue that today we are in the early stages of another great transition, this time from political leaders as the top leaders to successful business leaders standing up and making their influence and leadership talents felt in leading society.
But this isn’t a partisan book. Woodward and DeMille say that political parties are at the center of the problem, that what is needed to really get our nations back on track is for business leaders to start making a bigger difference. “There is so much wisdom in our business books and business leaders,” Woodward said, “but most of it is ignored in Washington.”
The book hinges on Five Laws of Decline, each of which is currently chipping away at the strength of many institutions, including business organizations. Executives and entrepreneurs who don’t understand these Five Laws, and how they cause government to hurt business profitability and growth, won’t know how to overcome them. And until the business community learns and responds to the Five Laws of Decline, the authors say, the economy will continue to face overregulation, over-taxation and growth-killing uncertainty.
LeaderShift is written as a business fable, where the lead character is a successful business leader who realizes that politicians aren’t likely to fix our economy any time soon and sets out to find a solution to America’s decline. In the process, he applies the wisdom learned from years in business and from many of the greatest business books, puts together a team of business people to deal with our national problems, and creates a plan of how to really fix America.
When the team gets help from a surprising source, what happens next is a story you’ll want tell and retell. And the solutions in the book are a unique approach that really might work. Most importantly, every business leader—large or small—will want to understand the Five Laws of Decline and take action to deal with them effectively in your own business.
This book is a fun read, an enjoyable story, and it just might be the wake-up call our generation needs to finally stand up and lead. In short, if our politics and politicians aren’t going to lead, it might just be up to business leaders to turn things around.
This book will make you think, and you’ll want to pass it on to everyone you do business with. No business leader right now can afford to be without the knowledge of the Five Laws of Decline, and the book teaches a number of other important ideas that will help business people of all stripes be better leaders.

Hello everyone, here is a fanastic article written by Orrin Woodward about the newest PC members Wayne and Raylene MacNamara.If you were Ottawa, Louisville, or Visalia let us know what your favorite part was from your weekend at the Winter Leadership Convention.
All the Best in LIFE,
Alex Nickerson
Wayne and Raylene MacNamara were recognized as new LIFE PC members at the LIFE Business Leadership Conventions. These two were Turbo 10 when they joined the Team community in late 2007, and now six years later, have over a thousand people at events! Leadership matters, and Claude & Lana Hamilton are building a leadership community that loves and serves one another. In fact, the Hamilton’s business is nearly six times bigger today than the day they joined the Team community back in late 2007. The dream is alive and well within the LIFE community.
Laurie and I are so proud of the Hamiltons and MacNamaras for dreaming, struggling, persisting, and ultimately achieving this Olympic Gold level award. The MacNamaras were factory workers with no avenue to move up when they were introduced to Claude and Lana Hamilton. Despite lacking funds, opens, and seminars (the MacNamaras were a distance group and therefore had to build all of this), Wayne and Raylene refused to make excuses and built the system from scratch to not only go PC, but also help so many others accomplish their goals and dreams. The MacNamaras have a contagious enthusiasm for life that attracts so many winners to them. I LOVE spending time with this couple, and I believe this is just the beginning of the impact this couple will have in the world! Today they are debt free, job optional, and enjoying their freedom lifestyle in Ontario, Canada.
This is just the first of a wave of PC who will be breaking in the LIFE community, as the system and products are dialed in for growth. Numbers are up, belief is up, and the speed of growth is up! I love what I am seeing across North America. Thank you to all who attended the Leadership Conventions and celebrated the MacNamara’s victory. 2013 is the year of breakthroughs within LIFE. Is 2013 a breakthrough year in your life? Who was there live for this recognition? Please share how it impacted you.
Hey Everyone, It’s that time a year again. The Winter Leadership Convention is almost here. This is guaranteed to be one of the most memorable conventions in history. I will be attending the Ottawa, Ontario convention that takes place on the weekend of Jan 25-27, 2013. The Ottawa convention is 1 of three regional going on in January. We are so pleased to have Orrin and Laurie Woodward, Claude and Lana Hamiltonand Dan and Lisa Hawkins all in Ottawa. These weekends are designed to help people see the big picture in what the LIFE Community is all about. I started going to these conventions over 4 years ago and havent missed one since. Here is a short video to see a small climes into what a convention weekend looks like.
What are some of your favorite moments from conventions past?
Hello 2013, This is so amazing I had to let everyone know about the updated One Time Cash Awards. 2012 was an amazing year with over 1,800,000 million dollars given away in OTCA’s and Free Trips. It was such a fantastic year that the LIFE business was way ahead of progress that they had to go ahead and add an extra $302,000 dollars to the OTCA’s program. Thanks you so much to Claude Hamilton, Orrin Woodward and the rest of the LIFE Founders for truly making this the best opportunity on the planet.
2013 One Time Cash Awards Program
In keeping our promise to help you Live the Life You’ve Always Wanted, we are pleased to present the annual One Time-Cash Awards (OTCA’s) that any LIFE Member can earn. Each fiscal year, which corresponds to the calendar year, LIFE will announce the criteria for achieving the annual OTCA’s. Each OTCA can be achieved only once per year, but more than one of the OTCA’s be earned each year.
Eligibility
To be eligible for One-Time Cash Awards, the only requirement in addition to achieving the ranks detailed below is to generate at least 200 Personal/Customer PV each and every month of the rank qualification. For new Members, this should begin with your first, second, or third month in business. For example, if a Member’s LIFE enrollment date is June 12, he or she would start in June, July, or August.
If a Member does not generate at least 200 Personal/Customer PV in any month for which he or she is on track for an OTCA, then that Member is no longer eligible for that particular OTCA. But the Member can immediately start tracking toward the next OTCA by generating at least 200 Personal/Customer PV the following month or any subsequent month.
Below are the ranks and respective OTCA’s for 2013:
Leader 6
Receives $3,000
This means you have to qualify as a Leader for six months out of the year with at least three months in a row. There are two ways you can qualify as a Leader.
Have a total of 15,000 PV or more with no downline Members with 15,000 points or
If you do have downline Member with 15,000 PV in your 1st team, you must have 6,000 PV outside of your first Team, which includes all outside Teams, personal volume and customer volume.
Leader 12
Receives $12,000 (Up from $8,000 in 2012)
This means you would have to start qualifying in January, so you can qualify for all twelve months of the year.
Coordinator 6
Receives $6,000 (Up from $4,000 in 2012)
Coordinator 12
Receives $15,000 (Up from $10,000 in 2012)
Sr. Coordinator 6
Receives $15,000 (Up from $10,000 in 2012)
Sr .Coordinator 12
Receives $25,000
Life Coach 6
Receives $50,000 (Up from $30,000 in 2012)
Life Coach 12
Receives $100,000 (Up from $80,000 in 2012)
Executive Life Coach 6
Receives $100,000 (Up from $50,000 in 2012)
Executive Life Coach 12
Receives $150,000 (Up from $125,000 in 2012)
Double Life Coach 6
Receives $150,000 (Up from $75,000 in 2012)
Double Life Coach 12
receives $200,000
Triple Life Coach 6
Receives $200,000 (Up from $100,000 in 2012)
Triple Life Coach 12
Receives $250,000
Important information…
As you move up through the ranks during the fiscal year, you can accumulate the bonuses for more than one rank.
EXAMPLE:Let’s say you qualified as a Leader in January. Then you continue qualifying throughout the entire year, but in July you also move up to the rank of Coordinator and remain there through the end of the year (thereby hitting Coordinator for 6 months). In this case, you would accumulate three OTCA’s: $3,000 for Leader 6, $12,000 for Leader 12, and $6,000 for Coordinator 6. Your total OTCA’s for the fiscal year, on top of all your other monthly LIFE bonuses, would, therefore, be $21,000!
This all means that January is a hugely important month for you! If you can attain at least the rank of Leader, you are setting yourself up for some big bucks for the fiscal year! So set some goals now! Get to work, hit those volume levels, and start earning the LIFE You’ve Always Wanted! It’s here!
This is really amazing. In 2012, we received $11,000 dollars in OTCA’s and just looking forward at 2013 we have $36,000 dollars on the table. I hope you figure out what’s on the table for you and capture it.
We saw some pretty aggressive driving…. but in the end it was Kelsey on top. She had her victory lap with the checkered flag. Way to go Kels!
