Success University Review - get the lowdown on Success University

My introduction to Success University came at a stage in my life when I was experiencing real change. I've spent the last few years laid up after breaking my back, and haven't really achieved anything - depression, immobility and a loss of self-esteem and confidence plagued me, and I was resigned to a life of pain on benefits - with little to look forward to, and no hope for the future.

I'd visited Ibiza for a week with my parents, and found the heat, and perhaps the magnetism on the island, were lessening my pain and stiffness. I'd also become great friends with some lovely people on the island who said that if I wanted to come back and spend the summer with them, to help me work on getting my mobility back and get rid of the walking stick I've used for 3 years.

On my return to the UK I set out to raise the money I'd need to get back over there and support myself for the 11 weeks I planned to stay. Through selling a lot of stuff on Ebay, including a yo-yo collection I'd built up over 7 years and boxed away safely for another 6 years. It was a difficult choice to sell them on, but I targeted collectors so I knew the yo-yos would be going to a good home.

I raised the money I needed and moved over to Ibiza for the summer. The heat helped my pain, and within a week I was able to stop using my stick. Where I would spend 3 days a week in bed in pain in the UK, I only spent 3 days in bed in 10 weeks in Ibiza! I was able to start walking and swam to increase my strength I'd lost over the years.

The family I was staying with had been friends with world-famous DJ Danny Rampling - he formerly of Radio 1 fame - at the time, Danny had semi-retired from DJing - but was coming to Ibiza to play at the Def Mix 20th Year Anniversary party at Pascha - and we were invited. It was an incredible night - the first time I'd ever been to Pascha - and I got to stand in the DJ box so many of the world's greatest DJs had worked in over the years. What a great experience that was - I've played to thousands working as a DJ, but not at such an esteemed event, or such a world-renowned club!

After the event we went back to the Pascha hotel with Danny, and in the course of conversation we'd come round to talking about getting new businesses set up and some ideas we'd had. Danny passed us a magazine - Empower magazine, and said we'd find it a bit of a revelation.

Later I read the magazine and was inspired by the stories I read, but very cynical - my depression over the previous years had left me with a feeling of being unable to change my situation to any great extent. But I started wondering if it was possible that I could make the changes I wished for, and start working towards the things I would like in my life - freedom from pain, financial security, the chance to look after my parents, and a dream house in the hills of Ibiza.

I returned to the UK a week later in a fantastic frame of mind, ready to escape from the chains that had held me down for the previous years, and had been thinking more and more about the program, so I decided to enrol and give it a try. I signed up, and set to work.

When you subscribe, you get your own web address and 4 sites so you can give the url to people where they can find the information they need to evaluate the program for themselves. That makes it easier because the sites are filled with information you might not be confident of telling people about yourself.

You also get a lead management system, so you can see the people who sign up for more information, and introduce yourself to them - helping them, through the decision making process.

The online back office application also contains resources to help you learn, and help you promote the program. It's also the place where you register for your courses.

What impressed me was the volume of courses available on the topics I wanted - Internet Marketing, Network Marketing, Confidence, Motivation, Health and much more. Each month you can study 10 short courses, 1 month long course, and you also get an introductory boot camp by email, helping you get started most effectively, find your way around the site and meet your upline - the people who'll help you build your team.

One of the great things about Success University is that your upline is incentivised to help you build your team - you can only reach the highest ranks of Success University if you help others to build their teams. This creates a great sense of camaraderie, and you work with your sponsor - and his sponsor - and his sponsor, right up to the top of the company ranks - everyone's helping everyone, offering motivation, encouragement, ideas to help build the business, and even a sympathetic ear when you're feeling a little discouraged or overwhelmed.

Of course, you can also just join for the courses - which was why I originally joined. As I learned, however, I wanted a business to practice my skills on - and since I was experiencing great positive changes through what I was learning, I started promoting the program - as I knew from my own personal changes that this program really can help people.

You also start the year-long Jim Rohn Pillars of Success program - delivered in weekly portions. This program has been great helping me understand more about what I want, and how to start achieving things I haven't dared think possible previously. Some weeks it can be a bit of work, and makes you think about things more deeply, but I've seen great things happen when I've applied the teachings.

I'll continue my review in part 2, published in the next few days, so stay tuned.

I've written my own Success University information pages here - take a look, you can see the founder of Success University interviewed about his amazing story on FOX News there.

In this second part of my review, I want to look a little more closely at the courses Available from Success University - in particular 3 of the ones I have studied to date.

Firstly, let's have a look at the calibre of the Success University faculty. The courses offered by Success University are taught by the world's top Personal Development speakers - men and women who command thousands of dollars PER PERSON when they speak at events. The same men and women whose online courses cost hundreds or thousands of dollars each - yet Success University offers them ALL for less than the price of a cup of coffee per day.

This esteemed collection of over 60 speakers and trainers includes -

Jay Abraham
"The nation's highest paid marketing consultant, he regularly works marketing miracles for his clients. During his 24 year career, Mr. Abraham has worked with over 5,000 individual businesses in 165 separate industries. He has consulted for businesses large, medium and small, from one person operations to some of the world's largest corporations including Weyerhauser, Coldwell Banker, Prudential-Bache, Dun and Bradstreet, Citibank and Sears Roebuck & Company. Mr. Abraham specializes in successfully identifying and ethically exploiting a company's hidden, marketable assets to create windfall profits for his clients. While he maintains a number of select clients on a contingency basis, Mr. Abraham also publishes a series of marketing reports as well as conducting marketing and business training seminars."

Les Brown
As a renowned professional speaker, author and television personality, Les Brown has risen to national prominence by delivering a high energy message which tells people how to shake off mediocrity and live up to their greatness. It is a message Les Brown has learned from his own life and one he is helping others apply to their lives.

Zig Ziglar
A talented author and speaker, Zig Ziglar has an appeal that transcends barriers of age, culture and occupation. Since 1970, he has traveled over five million miles across the world delivering powerful life improvement messages, cultivating the energy of change.

Bern Moses
For nearly a half century, Bern Moses has been enmeshed in what he calls a "Liferatory" research, determining what went wrong within the Network Marketing profession and how to correct it.
Over the years, he has purposely experienced, observed, created, tested and honed himself and his material in the most volatile environment he could find; the Network Marketing industry.
He has sold, networked and marketed tangibles and intangibles, small "tickets" to big ones and has worked door-to-door, business to business, in the boardroom and on the phone.
And all along the way he has recruited, sponsored, trained, coached, counselled, coaxed and cajoled people like ourselves toward fortune filled futures. The results have been astonishing.

Jill Lublin
Jill Lublin is the author of the national best selling books, Guerrilla Publicity and Networking Magic. She is the founder of GoodNews Media, Inc. and host of the nationally syndicated radio show, Do the Dream and TV pilot, GoodNews TV. As the CEO of the strategic consulting firm, Promising Promotion, Jill has created successful techniques that implement bottom line results. Twenty years experience working with ABC, NBC, CBS, and other national media has given her great insight into what works for the media. She has helped diverse clientèle from banks and software companies to national and international seminar leaders, non-profit organizations, authors, entertainment professionals, entrepreneurs, and businesses of various scopes. Jill's clients and those who have attended her seminars have been featured in major US newspapers, national magazines, television shows such as The Today Show, Live with Regis and Kelly, Good Morning America, CNN, and other nationally syndicated shows.

That's just a small example of the faculty - you can see a much larger list of instructors here.

The calibre of the teachers allows Success University to offer training of a level that guarantees you success if you follow the principles - it's the same teaching used by World Leaders, Top Athletes and Business Leaders to ensure they are at the top of their game.

In this Information Age, quality of information and market-leading knowledge are real drivers in hitting the top. Anyone may have a great idea, but you can only act on it if you know what to do...

Each of the Achievement courses takes place over a 1 month period - you start on a Monday and receive short daily lessons 5 days a week. This allows you to learn at a pace that will fit in with a busy schedule. At the end of each course, you take a multiple choice exam - and receive a certificate for passing, which can be given to employers, put into your resume, displayed on your office wall or just shown to your family! Good employers value training greatly, and an employee getting training under their own initiative will doubtlessly be viewed positively.

I have taken courses such as "Secrets of a Sales Superstar" from Brian Tracy - this was a great course, teaching qualities that really turbo-charge your approach to sales and selling, and enable you to build last relationships with your clients and prospects.

Another Achievement course I've studied is "Street Smart Network Marketing" by Robert Butwin. This course taught me, amongst other things, how to do things MY way, better team building and obtaining commitment, and how to think of my business as a gift to share with others - which has led to me viewing things differently and getting more business as a result.

I'm currently studying "Triggers" by Joseph Sugarman - 30 sales tools you can use to control the mind of your Prospect to motivate, influence and persuade. I'm finding this one particularly interesting because it deals with psychological triggers and I've always been interested in how the mind works.

Overall I'm really pleased with the courses Success University offer. They have helped me change my life, and I'm now far more positive about the future and more optimistic that I can achieve great things.

The fact that they're online and accessible 24 hours a day 7 days a week is brilliant - it means you can take a short course when you have an hour spare anytime, or can fit your studying in around a hectic schedule.

Next time, I'll look at the business aspect of Success University and the tools provided.
