David I am telling you one way or another I am going to get on your team.. love ya man. Your passion in your messages is…it just is my friend.
God Bless
Hello David, What a great story and parable. You sure get your point across. Thanks, Andrew Gallop
andrew_gallop´s last [type] ..New 5 Day ‘MLM Mastery’ Bootcamp Announcement-
Haha! Dude I’m watching this and saying things before you say them because I remember all of this…. I do remember the look on your face when you said “Dude I’m gonna marry that girl” and I looked at you and said “You’re serious arent you?” and you simply said “yep, I’m sure of it” I could tell by the look on your face that you were dead serious.
But you’re exactly right, some of the major defining moments in my life have been when I made a decision to do something on the spot although I had no plan and no strategy or knew how to even go about it. But I did it anyway and it all worked out… So I totally agree… you never know until you try.. or try again. Even with past prospects that you have tried to sponsor in and they werent ready, you never know until you try again and sometimes they are ready.
I hear ya brother, Ya absolutely NEVER know unless you try!
Hi David: I loved this. You never know what decisions you make or don’t make and how that changes your life. I’ve done things that were based on my gut and other people would have called me crazy, but I was glad I took the risk.
My life has been filled with moments like that , some good , some not so good. But I wouldn’t have it any other way.
No matter what it is if you believe you can I am willing to bet you can. If we could get rid of all of the negative trash out of our head we would be a lot better off.

Wow, David that’s is an amazing story! You are right, you never know unless you try!
If you don’t try, you will be full of regret and that stinks!
Sometimes to get what you want you have to put yourself in uncomfortable situations.
Thanks for sharing!

Great story! I never told you, but there were like 2 guys at my PBR that didn’t believe Ashley was your wife. You can’t make up a story like that. You guys are an awesome couple and we all know you wouldn’t be a MLM rockstar without her!

David you just made me cry. Not an easy thing to do. I’m thinking of how many lives were affected by that one moment. Because if it weren’t for Ashley would you have kept going and put together this awesome team of people? Would I have met you and had the support and confidence to look inside myself and make the changes to get myself where I am? Would I still be living in my friend’s spare bedroom up in Michigan? Would I still be selling soap? LOL Thank goodness you talked to her!

Awesome story David … “The only thing holding you back is yourself”

Yourself & all of the negative trash that we have allowed to clutter up our brain. It’s okay to listen to peoples opinions but we must learn to put a value only on the ones that support are beliefs.

Love this! I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason! I do, I do, I do!
We are all here on this planet for a reason. And, you may never know the reason…. unless you TRY.
Thanks so much for sharing your heart on this one. That is why so many people can relate to you.

Thanks for sharing David! Awesome story & congrats!
Wow!!! What a great story David!!!!
I also remember how you are often saying, “stories sell and facts tell”. But stories are also a powerful teaching tool that get the point across too. And they connect with people emotionally. People buy for emotional reasons not logical. And they make decisions like going on a date or getting married or moving to Costa Rica because of emotional reasons, not because of logical reasons. At least most of the time that is the reason….
Very cool my friend…
Great story Dave. Thank for sharing your heart, for keeping it real and letting the world know who you are… And that builds trust.

Slap me I was a little slow, I know it stands for David Wood, but how many NASCAR fans wondered the same thing.
In NASCAR DW stands for Darrell Waltrip.

Remind me to tell you Tara’s and my story sometime. Married 2 months from the day we met. If we let the moments and voice, that screams quietly within, us direct our lives… magic happens. Love you Bud… thanks for helping change all our lives. Thanks Ashley… too.
Great Story amd message Dave! I felt the exact same way the second I first saw my wife though for me it was in a bar called The Brandy Keg instead of a raw food store LOL. We are happily married still 23 years later. Life is a trip.
WOW, David that is an awesome story! It just goes to show that you have to take action to get what you want in life!
Thanks for sharing,
Sentiments from the professor in a bath robe. Dave that was awesome my friend! One millisecond huh? You make us all feel safe enough to jump off the cliff with you bro! Behind every great man there’s a greater woman. Thanks again to the power couple behind the mastermind team. Continue to be a blessing to all you encounter.
David, I enjoyed this video because the message is so perfect. It happens to everyone at some point in network marketing and direct sales. I especially enjoyed how you look…unshaved, yellow towel…close-up…lighting…..very REAL, natural and passionate. Thanks

What can be worse is, if you don’t try you may regret it for the rest of your life. I know i have some of those moments.
David you crack me up! You have such a way of being entertaining while teaching at the same time. I was just introduced to your content 2 days ago and I’m hooked. I think I might actually be in your downline in MLSP (who isn’t right?). If so, I consider myself fortunate!
Keep the videos coming

Lol. About 1/4 of every person in MLSP is in my team, and about 1/2 of everyone in the leader boards is in my personal downline in my actual company. In a year, it will be 3/5 of everyone with the help of new leadership like you raising up – because THAT’S what it’s all about my friend.
Hey David, great story, I had a similair experience with my wife when I first meet her, however the fruit that joined us together was “plums”, I met her coming from across the street with a jar of plums in her hand, she and her sister and a girlfriend had just finished raiding the neighbors plum tree as I just happened to be driving thru the neighborhood,in my MGB sportscar, while on leave in the Air Force, one hot summer day and I saw this beautiful brown-eyed girl who stole my heart,and I stopped her and asked her for a plum,and I’ve been “plum” out of my mind for 36 years since then. We are still in love, like you said you never know until you ask.
What a story about overcoming fear and jumping out. Loved it…
Ron Deering´s last [type] ..Savings That Are Just Unbelievable
What an AWESOME story Dave! It’s so true that all it takes is a SPLIT SECOND decision to completely change your the course of your life. When you extrapolate this, you realize that literally EVERY SECOND matters…and the more you step out of your comfort zone with each passing moment, the more you will become!
Thanks for everything you do bro…I’m sure I speak for everyone who follows you when I say that you are such an inspiration.
Keep keepin it real,
Jomo
Awesome Video David!
There are so many moments like that in our lives where we are at a crossroads. It takes looking back to really see how powerful a single choice can be and how that can shape the rest of our life. It’s being more conscious of those little choices as well as the big ones where we can really see how much power we have to shape our life.
Also, thanks for talking about how you were so clear and committed. It’s focus like that where everything lines up and falls into place.

I said Eric, meaning hurricane Earl. Sorry for my mistake. I thought to double check that name before I wrote it…Will not happen again(I hope). You look great. Like you just rode out a hurricane….Great story too! It makes one wonder about the milli-seconds that might have made ones life change, for the better, or for the worse. I’m glad to be here, now.

The problem is we don’t believe in ourselves 100% of the time. Decide what you want and take the steps you need to accomplish your goals.

I am a romantic at heart…outside of business that is! I always wondered how you two met? Yes, I had a tear come to my eye. But the message….is soooo true… I’ve had something like that happen to me where I just decided in a second, and it changed my life…for that time. It was good and bad and learned the lessons I needed to learn,which made me stronger as a person. Yours is wonderful story. Also a great Point!!! YOU just NEVER know if you don’t try. Inspiring! Love how you personal story and incorporate a lesson inside of it. I think it helps people get the concept more. God bless you and Ashley!

Most people probably wouldn’t find the humor in this that I do, but then again, the don’t know the story about the banana trees.
…maybe I’ll tell that one tomorrow. You and Ashley are awesome, and I love you both. Out of general curiosity, did you get punched in your right eye, or is there some blinding light directed at it? LOL

Hi David!
I LOVE your story and the passion with which you share it. It’s so true that, “It’s in our moments of decision that our destiny is made!!” Thanks for sharing.
Debbie Parker´s last [type] ..Fear Holding You Back In Business…See How I Finally Overcame It!
GREAT STORY David!
The one thing I question is, and should be addressed. WHY, did you hesitate??? You saw Ashley, you took action to meet her, then you hesitated for over 1 year. Isn’t that reminiscent of a person attending a meeting, webinar or what ever. Getting excited, seeing what could happen, then they hesitate! They fail to join and start the process to change their lives.
Many times it’s another exposure from another person, that finally “marries” that person to their opportunity.
For me the moral of the story is “follow-up” follow-thru and make it happen! As they say in basketball, follow your shot!
“You never know unless you try!
Thanks Paul
There is humor in a lot of things we do if we would just sit back and look ourselves in a non judgmental way.
We ask too many of the wrong questions, or to many of the reasons why it could never be.
All it takes is a little belief.
You never know unless you try….
