Team Orrin Woodward

Orrin Woodward Says Invest In Yourself

Electronic Commerce entreprenuer Orrin Woodward recently provided us with the following coments about investing:

"I get people all the time asking me what to invest their money in.  There are a lot of good answers to that question, but the best answer to that question is to invest money in yourself!  Put your money into things in which you have got control.  Can you educate yourself more?  Can you add fire to what you put your time into already?  These are the best returns on your money.  You are always your own best investment.

When building the Team business, this might mean investing in your own business.  Learning all there is to learn, and helping us spread the good news that there is a business anybody can get invovled in, and with enough hard work and consistency, they can succeed financially in life.

Anything you can invest into what you are doing will go a lot further than investing into what other people are doing.  It is only once you've done all you can to invest in yourself and your own business that it makes sense to put your money elsewhere.

Of coure, I'm not a financial analyst or broker, I'm a businessman.  So if you want specific advice beyond that, see somebody who makes their living in that field.  But I'm just telling you what I did, and it seemed to work pretty good for me."

Woodward Synonymous with Success

The name Orrin Woodward is quickly becoming synonymous with "success."  In a few short years, Mr. Woodward has built an enormous Internet business, co-authored two high-selling books, and has become a principle investor in numerous other business enterprises.  Just before a recent fund-raiser, Mr. Woodward had these comments to share with a little-known blogger who just happened to be sitting at his table:

"Of all the businesses and ideas out there, none of them can match our Team business concept.  I've invested in nearly every kind of business, and some of them are excellent income producers.  But absolutely nothing comes close to the Team business.  It's largely because of the power of duplication and scalability that the Team business takes advantage of.  And also, there's something really right about a business that is available to anyone.  Hey, let's face it, when I was first exposed to the ideas that would grow into the Team business model, I was a nobody in the business world.  I had no money, no connections, no success, nothing but a "good job."  But there is no comparison between a good job and a great business.  And this business allowed me a chance.  That's the most beautiful thing we offer people, a chance!  This is a business for the underdog, for the little guy, for the person who has always dreamed that they could be something more.  If they don't take it, or if they don't have the guts to work hard and learn how to succeed in life, that's their perogative, but the wonderful thing is that they CAN choose to take advantage of it.  And if they do, they are in for a great ride!  And trust me, NO business is as good as this one.  Now let's eat!"

Orrin Woodward Nears the End of His First Year on the IBOAI Board

Internet Entrepreneur Orrin Woodward sits on the board of more than one corporation, but perhaps the most high-profile is his position on the prestigeous and powerful IBOAI.  Last year, Mr. Woodward as a rare "write-in" candidate, was selected to serve the governing body for a period of two years.  "It's an honor and a big responsibility," said Woodward, "and certainly one that has an impact on a lot of lives and businesses.  I can tell you this: the individuals I'm working with are top-notch, and I'm proud to be a part of it all.  We are looking forward to another great year, taking our business even further and making it even better."

Orrin Woodward and Team Leadership

"Look at any team that has achieved great success, and you will find that it has strong leadership.”

From the book: The 17 Indisputable laws of Teamwork, by John Maxwell

The Team is having great success because of the leadership provided by Orrin Woodward, Chris Brady, Tim Marks and Larry VanBuskirk followed by many more.  I am proud to be associated with leaders that have a purpose in life and are leading by example and helping others.
