- 93 - DLM Uncut: Navigating Fear In Today's Economy
One of the biggest mistakes network marketers make is focusing solely on the price of their products or services instead of seeing the value proposition.
While the product or service investment is essential, it's crucial to consider the people behind it.
When you start educating your audience by pre-framing their challenges, you put yourself in their shoes. Thus it builds trust and prevents objections before they begin.
In this episode, Balazs W Kardos continues the Diamond Life Mentor Uncut sessions by addressing fear in today's economic climate. He takes us back to when he talked about Silicon Valley Bank collapse in 2023 and how to overcome them. One of the best strategies is positioning yourself as an authority in the industry by doing the following:
Know your audience: Understand their needs, wants, and pain points.Provide value: Create informative, engaging, and relevant content for your audience.Build relationships: Interact with your audience and respond to their comments and questions.Once you implement these, your personal experiences, challenges, and successes will allow you to connect with them on another level.
"This is a way for us to gently guide people from one side of the fence over to the other side, and then make you and your opportunity the obvious choice that they can opt into." - Balazs W Kardos

In an in-demand industry like network marketing, you can get leads that may or may not fit your community and business goals.

In this episode, Balazs W Kardos takes us into another installment of Diamond Life Mentor Uncut, where he discusses how to convert doubts into trust as a strategy for lead generation. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the needs of your audience and connecting with those already familiar with the process.
Implementing this strategy will allow you to pre-frame and develop advertising and marketing campaigns that address their problems. This saves time, money, and energy by ensuring the content resonates with your audience before launching anything.
Once you're consistent with your content creation, you become their top-of-mind as you have established trust and credibility over time.

Wed, 13 Nov 2024 - 17min - 91 - DLM Uncut: Avoid Strategy Overload - How to Pick & Perfect Your Method
The key to success is quality, not quantity.Why? It does not matter how many strategies you make because even if you have tried what worked for others, what matters is what works for you and your business.
Focus on those strategies and execute them well. Instead of spreading yourself thin, dedicate your time and energy to what truly matters.
In this episode, Balazs W Kardos shares another Diamond Life Mentor Uncut session, answering questions about lead generation and how to transform leads according to business goals.
The most common challenges arise when testing new systems and managing expectations. Instead of dedicating excessive time to testing, Balazs suggests using only 20% of your time to gather feedback and data. It can help you pre-frame your leads by addressing their perceptions of the challenges they may encounter and providing solutions to those issues.
Next is to scale by optimizing your process. As lead generation is the lifeblood of any business, you need a steady stream of high-quality leads. How can you do that? Balazs recommends having the right mindset, approach, and skill to know your target audience, create high-quality content, and track and analyze results.
"If you feel that you're losing people because of the process that you're taking them through, then the best way to avoid losing people is to make content and make ads that pre-frame what they're going through. So there's no surprises." - Balazs W Kardos

Wed, 06 Nov 2024 - 25min - 90 - DLM Uncut: Inspiration + Optimization for Network Marketers
Leaving the comfort of a steady paycheck to dive into the network marketing business is a significant leap of faith because you will take risks in investing time and money once more to start something new.
But the thing is, there is no harm in trying, especially if this business has transformed lives globally and given back millions of legacy income and freedom to individuals and families.
You will face challenges, of course. Long hours, sleepless nights, and self-doubt are all part of it. But with hard work and the right mindset, along with the support of the community, you will succeed 10x better than your previous job.
In this episode, Balazs W Kardos answers questions on optimizing your life as a network marketer in another Diamond Life Mentor uncut session. As he celebrated his 10th freedom anniversary and the birth of his son last week, he took a moment to reflect on how he got started.
As his business grew, so did his responsibility. He let his wife retire a year after he quit his job to focus full-time on network marketing. That's where he learned to navigate his personal and business dynamics to spend time with the family, manage a team, delegate tasks, and make tough decisions to finish the sprints and reach 6A2-6.
That does not stop there because, as a network marketer, Balazs also encourages team members to apply advertising and content creation strategies so that they remain in the minds of their market as they continue to show up not only to gain sales but also to spread awareness and change lives.
"Once you transition to the new life, there are different problems that happen, but at least it's less confusing because it doesn't pull you in so many directions." - Balazs W Kardos

In this episode, Balazs W Kardos shares his reasons for believing money does buy happiness.Although he understands that "money can't buy happiness" is often repeated, evidence suggests that it can, in certain circumstances, as he has experienced them firsthand, from working paycheck-to-paycheck, and making door-to-door sales, to having more than the financial resources he asked for.
He assures that money can provide security, freedom, and opportunities to enhance the well-being and quality of life of your loved ones as your business and financial resources grow. How? By having the means to delegate tasks, make time for the people who matter most to you, and focus on creating meaningful experiences together.
That will also give you opportunities to give back to your community, invest in your future, and enjoy life's little luxuries as you reduce stress, increase productivity, and achieve your goals faster.
While money may not directly buy happiness, it can contribute to your personal growth towards a more fulfilling life.

As we enter the final quarter, it's time to reflect on our progress and set our sights on even greater achievements.Are you ready to finish strong and make 2025 your best year yet?

Wed, 02 Oct 2024 - 33min - 85 - GPM Live: Roadmap For GPM Base
Network marketing is all about collaboration. Aside from meeting new people, networking, and recruiting, one way to leverage this more is by having a centralized system to communicate and upskill in one place.
Many people in sales go from one platform to another for their calls, training, and checking in with team members. While this is not bad, it can also be stressful, distracting, and puts members all over the place.

As Balazs aims to increase engagement and accountability, he encourages members to share their wins, testimonials, challenges, etc, where everyone can help and celebrate. This will let them gain valuable insights and support, and as a bonus feature, special badges depending on their activity and achievements.
"Unless we put our resources together, collaborate, and stop doing things inefficiently, we won't get to the outcomes we're capable of." - Balazs W Kardos

Wed, 25 Sep 2024 - 1h 04min - 84 - Special Guest Training: 90 Day Sprint Mindset
Do you wonder why there's urgency in successful people? That is because when they set an end in mind, they do whatever it takes to reach their dreams as soon as possible.
That's where the concept of sprint comes from. While it's generally a short, fast race, often over a set distance, entrepreneurs use this strategy to encourage themselves to focus on achieving their targets fastbecause of setting a limited timeline.
Now, why is this significant? Mainly because it is goal-oriented, and there's not enough time to procrastinateor slack off. In high-ticket network marketing like Enagic, team members share a common goal toward their deliverables. It increases productivity, accountability, and collaboration among them as they improve the quality of their leadership and salesmanship.
In this episode, Balazs W Kardos joins as a guest in the Wealthy, Wild & Free Community with 6A2-2, Talia W Di Giulio. As they're doing the 90-day sprint, Balazs shares a special training on why this is important and the tips and strategies to succeed in this challenge.
Balazs encourages participants to push their limits, step outside their comfort zones, and expand their leadership capacity because the 90-day sprint is just a start.
Overcoming this will test their resilience in providing value and helping their audience solve their health and financial problems while balancing personal responsibilities with their loved ones.
Lastly, Balazs emphasizes that this is not just another business opportunity, it directs them into creating a lifestyle business and building a legacy income that no other business model can offer.
"This is no longer about getting paid for your time. It is bigger than that - this is breaking generations of poverty and scarcity." - Balazs W Kardos

Wed, 11 Sep 2024 - 26min - 82 - Global Prosperity Unlocked: The GPM Base Launch
The Global Prosperity Movement (GPM) has always been about fostering a strong sense of community.
However, as the community grew, it became increasingly challenging to maintain the same connection and engagement by accessing one Facebook group to another.
Also, Facebook's recent controversies surrounding data collection and targeted advertising have raised questions about the safety and security of online platforms - not to mention the amount of ads that are often irrelevant and distracting.

By transitioning to this new platform, Balazs aims to create a more organized and accessible environmentfor members to connect, share ideas, and access training materials.
The most significant advantages are enhanced security, custom global areas, and AI features. Unlike public platforms, the GPM Base provides a private space for members to interact and share sensitive information.
Now, they can communicate and collaborate without worrying about privacy concerns while having a personalized and engaging user experience.
"We're calling it GPM Base because if you're ever stuck or need support, unsure of what to do in your business, whether that's with your personal growth, with your sales, your mindset, your skill set, Enagic-related stuff, specifically, how to talk with leads, how to close sales, any of the stuff that might you might run into this will be home base." - Balazs W Kardos

Wed, 04 Sep 2024 - 43min - 81 - History of GPM
Do you know what's strange in life? It's when challenges become blessings to something better.
It's like suffering from years of stomach-related issues as a kid and trying every medicine out there, only to realize that something as simple yet essential as water is what saves your life and gives you a business opportunity to live the lifestyle you dreamed of in the future.
Balazs W Kardos looks back on the history of GPM in this 80th episode milestone. Also known as the Global Prosperity Movement, his award-winning community in Enagic started in 2016 after being part of the high-ticket network marketing business in 2013.
He went from making door-to-door sales, meeting and hiring coach Alex, and learning sales funnel and lead generation strategies to setting up an online system, the Enagic trifecta, and a mentorship program that gave birth to the GPM.
Since Balazs' core values center on love (instead of sales and ranking competition in the industry), he called it the Global Prosperity Movement to encourage his members to focus on becoming an inspiration and authority in helping people solve their health problems and creating high-income streams for the community as a whole.
Lastly, GPM continues to grow because of its decentralized structure, empowering its members to build their businesses independently. This approach has fostered a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, allowing GPM to expand rapidly and reach a global audience. As a result, he plans to launch the second and third phases in 2025 as they change more lives.
"My vision for Global Prosperity Movement was so high on the frequency of love, connection, and making the world a better place. I elevated this vision so much higher than the frequency of competition." - Balazs W Kardos

Wed, 28 Aug 2024 - 59min - 80 - GPM Live: Sell Pain Killers, Not Vitamins
The pandemic was a wake-up call for many. We have experienced economic downturns and financial struggles and tested the resilience of our traditional income sources.
Insert high-ticket network marketing. Four years ago, while COVID-19 was still happening and businesses closed, Enagic stayed true to its promise with the Global Prosperity Movement community as it grew 20% by that first year and grew continually for 30% until today.
Thus, this business model has been thriving despite the negative connotations against network marketing. So, if you're still feeling trapped in the same financial rut and you're not taking action, it's time to take control.
In this episode, Balazs W Kardos shares a live Global Prosperity Movement call to share one of the most significant advantages of high-ticket network marketing: targeting the audiences' pain points (health) and having the potential for higher income.
If you save enough, you can invest in this business and promote high-value products or services to earn more and build a sustainable income stream than selling massive quantities of cheap products to make a decent profit in low-ticket network marketing.
Balazs also recommends this opportunity to build a long-lasting investment. Unlike traditional jobs or low-ticket businesses, choosing high-ticket businesses lets you generate recurring income through residual commissions. So, even if you stop actively selling, you can continue to earn money from your past efforts as long as you create connections and good business relationships with your network to solve their problems.
"When COVID happened, my business grew by 20% that first year, and since then, it's been increasing by 30% year over year the last four years." - Balazs W Kardos
Catch this episode to take control of your financial future and build a sustainable business by treating people's pain points, offering high-value products, building strong relationships, and leveraging the power of the community.

Wed, 21 Aug 2024 - 57min - 79 - The Urgency of Now: Embracing Life's Impermanence to Maximize Your Potential
Life is a precious gift, and time is its most valuable currency. Every moment is an opportunity to create the life you desire, but only if you set your priorities straight with urgency or target for your goals.
Many people think there is endless time, but they're wrong.

"So you never delay, you never procrastinate. You never spend time on stuff that is irrelevant. Because if you do, I promise you, your number one regret is going to be how much time you wasted on shit that doesn't matter." - Balazs W Kardos

Wed, 14 Aug 2024 - 43min - 78 - DL Mentor Uncut: From Inspiring to Authority Figure
You have probably heard the saying, "People buy from people." But what does that mean? That means it does not matter if your team is small, big, or has impressive sales figures.
Connecting with your audience on a deeper level is more important.
The goal of building a loyal following is to inspire people to believe in themselves and their potential. But it should not stay on the inspiration level only.
As the leader, you bridge the gap between inspiration and authority.Let them know that you understand their struggles and have solutions for them. When you share both your wins and challenges, you create a sense of authenticity and relatability.
Balazs W Kardos shares another Diamond Life Mentor Uncut episode to discuss team building. He wants you to motivate others through your vulnerability as you admit your doubts and mistakes when you start the business. This honesty makes them feel seen and understood.
They'll trust your guidance because your success happened as you've walked in their shoes and learned the hard way. And then give them the value/solutions from there. That's how they'll keep taking action and replicating your process.
"People don't want to hear about how hard your life is without the inspiring second half of the story." - Balazs W Kardos

Wed, 07 Aug 2024 - 20min - 77 - DL Mentor Uncut - Building a Rock Solid Team Culture
Any organization that has grown successfully for a long time has a strong team culture. Because more than just working towards a common goal, it fosters a supportive, collaborative, and inspiring environment where everyone feels valued and motivated.
What do the leader and the team members do to achieve this? Communicate openly, exercise respect, share values, hold each other accountable, and commit to everyone's goals.
But building a team does not come easy. If you do not believe in yourself and how you can influence others to impact the community, it is easy to lose them.
Balazs W Kardos shares another clip from the Diamond Life Mentor Uncut session as he answers questions about building a rock-solid team culture.
For instance, he established the Global Prosperity Movement by setting expectations. He started by outlining their roles, responsibilities, and performance metrics early on every time new members come in to align with the team's objectives and lessen misunderstandings. Then, he implemented a mentorship program that provided additional support and guidance, helping them feel welcomed and valued.
As a role model who does the hard work, he keeps them growing and duplicating while maintaining consistent habits and processes. Regular check-ins, team meetings, and performance reviews help keep them on track. That is the strong recruitment culture he built - bringing in new perspectives and talent. By actively seeking qualified individuals, he has a steady stream of fresh ideas and energy within the community that pulls each other up.
"Do you want me to tell you the truth as a coach and mentor to help you get the life you want? They're going to say yes. So you ask for their permission. Once they give you that permission, you don't hold back. That's how transformation occurs." - Balazs W Kardos
Tune into this episode to grow your team and help them reach their full potential minus the micromanagement through the culture of habit, accountability, and performance tracking.

Remember those times when you've been planning a trip for a month - what to wear, where to go, which hotels to book, b-roll to record, how to go with your presentation, and your family to take with you?
Yes, you're not a first-time traveler, and you've always had your family with you, but nothing is perfect. There will always be travel mishaps, the least you expect them.
Imagine this happening as you attend Enagic's global convention as a top leader and a final speaker. That's a whole lot of level of pressure!
In this episode, Balazs W Kardos becomes vulnerable as he reflects on his travel to Okinawa, Japan, returning from his three-week trip from Enagic's 50th anniversary with the family.
Unfortunately, even if he had planned everything pre and post-convention, in Tokyo, Okinawa, and Hawaii, life threw curveballs in the form of getting lost, missing Kangen equipment parts, his daughter's medical emergency, and last-minute changes to his speech as he was about to go on stage.
But he made it through. For a moment, he felt overwhelmed and frustrated. All that preparation seems wasted. But then he took a deep breath and decided to face these challenges with gratitude and love, he appreciated the privileges of getting medical care available for his daughter. He also had the extra time to spend caring for his wife. Even though it's not what he planned, he found moments of joy in comforting and being with his family.
And, at the end of his speech, Enagic's Hironari Ohshiro hugged him on stage and gave him the reassurance he needed that he did his best and impacted all of the 8,000 attendees sharing the company's success with him.
"That's happened to me along my journey as well. But this was just like a fucking atomic bomb of that feeling. The feeling is the same. The magnitude of the event can continue to grow and climb." - Balazs W Kardos

Wed, 10 Jul 2024 - 1h 25min - 73 - DL Mentor Uncut - Give Yourself The Permission To Succeed
What separates successful people from those who only dream starts with mindset - clarity of a life they dreamed of.
Let's take a look at Enagic celebrating its 50th anniversary. It got this far because the Founder believed in himself, went out of his comfort zone, discovered his passion for health and prosperity, the magical powers of water, and how teamwork makes a high-ticket business possible. So, he networked with more people and built this legacy until it found its way to Balazs 11 years ago.
As Balazs W Kardos has just returned from the Enagic's 50th anniversary in Japan, in this episode, he rewinds to the Diamond Life Mentor Uncut episode from the New Year when this contest just ended.
He realized that most people wanted to succeed without allowing themselves to do so, which hindered their chances to make this happen.That is one of the reasons why they will not sacrifice their time, money, and energy on joining contests to take their business a notch higher.
And like a contest with defined rules, achieving anything requires a set of goals. Balazs wants you to shift your focus from "can't" to "can," identify the limiting beliefs holding you back, and replace them with empowering thoughts.
Balazs, a key figure in Enagic's success, exemplifies this perfectly. He didn't build his high-ticket business overnight. It took over a decade after hiring his first mentor, but making the Global Prosperity Movement top one globally wouldn't have been possible without a clear vision and the right mindset.
"If you do not assign yourself this identity of that's who you can become with your people, with your team/group, then you will not ever get there by accident." - Balazs W Kardos

Wed, 03 Jul 2024 - 19min - 72 - DL Mentor Uncut - Transform Your Efforts Into Results
People hate feeling chased. It creates short, awkward chats out of nowhere, especially if you're not the type who keeps checking in with friends and family.
Unfortunately, many say to start with your friends, family, and relatives when making your first sale. It's tradition, yes, but it's time for a change.
The last thing you want to happen is to be insincere and impersonal when you want to offer a solution to their problems. So, go outside of your comfort zone and revisit your warm leads - those who show interest in your content, product, or service that you use. You might have met them on a freebie you sent or watched your livestream. Don't let them disappear!
In this episode, Balazs W Kardos shares another clip from his Accelerator Mentorship program coaching calls to share tips to transform your lead generation efforts into results. He wants you to use your content effectively. Balazs suggests you stop using generic ads and doing passive outreach, turning them into personalized messages that address your prospect’s needs.
Retargeting can be powerful as you focus on their major pain points and let them feel you understand what they're going through to nudge them into your goal. That removes the pressure, creates genuine conversations, and closes deals as you build momentum.
"You need to make it hurt. And you're doing it from a place of love until someone has moved into action because they're so unhappy with what they're at, they remain in that comfort zone." - Balazs W Kardos

Wed, 26 Jun 2024 - 27min - 71 - DL Mentor Uncut - Mastering the Art of Sales Conversations
In sales, have you experienced conversations hitting a dead end? You present a fantastic opportunity, but people hesitate or raise doubts. Frustrating, right?
What matters is the salesperson's mindset and how the pitch finds solutions to a problem already present and relatable to the prospect. That way, they will agree and won't have time to hesitate.
In this episode, Balazs W Kardos answers the most common questions in sales conversations and how to close deals with the GPM community in this Diamond Life Mentor Uncut call.
Balazs recommends eliminating the objection before it approaches by knowing your audience or prospects first- understanding the common objections in your niche and addressing them proactively during your initial pitch.
They don't buy products but solutions to their problems, so frame your offer as a breakthrough to their challenges to help them achieve their goals.
Next, keep solving problems while aligning your values to the product you're offering. Believe in it - if you don't believe in what you're offering, how can you expect anyone else?
Once you're ready, manifest closing deals and anticipate positive outcomes. This energy is contagious and sets the stage for a smooth closing.
Lastly, Balazs wants you to offer a convenient way for people to take the next step, like suggesting a specific time for a call or providing a link to your calendar. Focus on uncovering their current situation and asking targeted questions that pique their interest in what you offer. Remember, the most effective lines are the ones that resonate with the people you're speaking with.
"Believing in the product and knowing it's the best thing ever goes hand in hand with making money online. You're sharing from a place of conviction about the product and the business model." - Balazs W Kardos

These internal or external labels from other people can shape your identity and limit your options. But what if you could rewrite that narrative and recreate it?

Experiencing breakthroughs often comes with challenges.
There are no shortcuts to excellence. You have that burning desire to be the best, but there's a tipping point where it turns into crippling perfectionism.

We've all been there, and let's be honest, it can be tempting. But aiming for excellence isn't about comparing yourself to others; it's about realizing your full potential.
In this episode, Balazs W Kardos shares his most vulnerable moments as he succeeds in the high-ticket business and continues to live a life of freedom and lifestyle with his loved ones.

Stop right there.

Have you ever had an enormous idea that can significantly change a big part of the company you're doing business with?
Like meeting with the CEO and presenting ideas to improve the company's system, funding, and overall marketing strategy?

And guess what? He presented the Global Prosperity Movement's upcoming changes and how they can help streamline Enagic's system as a multi-billion business. CEO Hironari Ohshiro likes it, and from Balazs' three ideas, it will have the opportunity of a lifetime at Enagic's 50th-anniversary celebration in Okinawa, Japan, next month.
That happens when you set ambitious goals – they can take you to unexpected places and open doors you never thought possible.
Finally, achieving this is a team effort. By sharing goals with the other leaders, he continues to create a sense of accountability and community. As a result, they can come up with even better ideas, using their different strengths to overcome challenges and reach new heights.

Wed, 08 May 2024 - 57min - 64 - DL Mentor Uncut - Client Success Interview w/ Jack Ruddell
There is something special and brave when you're in your 20s and attending University. Yes, it teaches you how to improve critical thinking, interpersonal relationships, and problem-solving, but it also makes you realize the challenges awaiting you in the real world outside.
Finding a satisfying career and building a dream lifestyle that aligns with your skills and passions can be difficult.
That is why sometimes, you also think of quitting University and taking risks to start a business and break the stigma of getting stuck in an employment mindset.
Balazs W Kardos takes us into the business life of a 24-year-old Jack Ruddell in today's Diamond Life Mentor Uncut Client Success Interview. At 21, he quit University and invested in various businesses and mentors while he had a full-time brokerage job to live his dreams in Gold Coast, Queensland.
But it wasn't enough. Jack moved back to his parents to gain clarity in the business, challenged himself for a year, and discovered the high-ticket network marketing industry. He went from having rough months, working mornings and evenings, to having consistent leads and earning $5k, $8k, $12k, to over $25k monthly because of his leadership skills and duplicating himself with team members.
Two years later, he discovered Balazs' mentorship program, and that's when his business skyrocketed more, making him rank 4A to 6A six months into the program. That led him to quit his job and dedicate himself full-time.
Jack attended the calls regularly, took action, and grew his numbers exponentially. His new goal is to earn $100k monthly and rank 6A-2 in the beautiful sunny Gold Coast.
So, the question is: are you still stuck wondering if there's more to life than the daily grind? It might not be the traditional path, but with guidance and a killer work ethic, everything is possible, as Jack did.
"It's just laying the foundation and the groundwork. But often because we expect to make boatloads of money in our first month or two months like other people in the community get off to a fast start, and it could be a mental obstacle that is unnecessary." - Balazs W Kardos
Tune into this episode to learn how to crush your goals no matter how young you are as long as you are committed to your dream lifestyle.

Wed, 01 May 2024 - 33min - 63 - 6A In 6 Weeks [Special Training]
You discover network marketing, and your mind starts visualizing freedom, no more boss, and living on your schedule.
But then, the doubts creep in - what if people think it's a scam, you mess up or do not get your investment back?
Now, know that success in network marketing, or any business, needs belief. Believing in the industry you are in is what keeps the fire and prevents the fears and the lies. That lets you know your product, company, and yourself are incredible.
Belief and knowledge are just the first steps. When you go all-in, when you truly dedicate yourself to it, that's when success and freedom happen.
In this episode, Balazs W Kardos and Clint X Morgan share a live special training call as they recall their secrets in ranking 6A eight and ten years ago. They talk about how network marketing gets a bad rap, but as they've been to other similar businesses, they knew what was worth it and what was not.
With Balazs in Enagic for 11 years, ranking 6A in 10 days, and now living his dreams of ranking 6A2-6, they are busting these myths with mentality and strategy so you can do the sprint in 6 weeks or less:
Do your research - understand your products, how you get paid, and the company's history. It is about connections and the benefits your products offer. Lead with how the products can help people, share your experience, and let the products speak for themselves.Use the power of social media, share success stories, and build relationships with potential customers and team members. You are not recruiting everyone you meet; it's about connecting with people who are a good fit to solve their problems.Find a mentor who supports you, keeps you accountable, and has experience to share."So, the biggest thing that will unlock everything else is to overcome your fear. Once you do that, you'll realize that you have the support of the community, the necessary tools, and everything you need to be successful. The only thing standing in your way is yourself." - Balazs W Kardos
Tune into the episode to ditch the doubts, embrace the opportunity, and build the life you deserve.

Wed, 24 Apr 2024 - 1h 01min - 62 - Tale Of Two Coaching Clients Results
We've all been there. You sign up, excited to learn and grow, but somehow, months later, the results just aren't there. You start to wonder, "Is it the program? Or is it me?"
The truth is that success in any mentorship program hinges on more than just the mentor. It's about you, the client, and your approach to the experience.
Balazs W Kardos shares the experiences of the two Diamond Life Blueprint clients in today's episode. These two clients were brimming with enthusiasm and a shared goal: achieving their dream income in their businesses. But while they both had the tools, strategies, and support they needed to succeed, their results came out differently.
How come?
Well, one of them joined 18 months ago - and never showed up and implemented the strategies inside the program. They paid thousands of dollars to be part of this mentorship but failed to reciprocate the value they got inside. The result? They did not get the expected outcome and wasted the opportunities waiting for them.
But what happened to another client was the opposite because five months into the program, they did not miss any training calls, showed up, asked questions, helped others, and took action. They implemented the Blueprint and got a slot in one of the client success interviews because they tripled their investment.
So the key to their success wasn't just the knowledge Balazs offered but their willingness to take the program and give back. The more they shared their wins and struggles in the business and learned from them, the more value, personal development, and growth they received in return. Compared to having "takers" energy from the program, this shows the win-win or give-and-take situation between them and their mentor.
"You can't lead somebody who won't move their feet. You can't lead somebody who doesn't trust your process, your framework, and how you do things." - Balazs W Kardos
Listen to the full episode to learn how win-win synchronicity works by applying, embracing a growth mindset, and giving back to any community you are part of or invested in your business.

Wed, 17 Apr 2024 - 33min - 61 - $40 Million Paid to GPM in Q1 2024
High-ticket network marketing might sound fancy, but it's all about building a team.
Forget about having a salesperson chasing sales alone. Here, you share how life-changing a product is with people and help others do the same. And the more people you bring on board, your team grows, and everyone climbs up the ranks.
But building a big team takes time and effort. Think of it like working out – you wouldn't expect results after one session, right? Reaching out to people, training them, and following up – that's the consistent effort that makes things happen.
In this episode, Balazs W Kardos shares a live training call on the Global Prosperity Movement community about how their team belonged to one of the top-ranking members joining Enagic's 50th Anniversary in Okinawa, Japan.
But it did not happen overnight. Balazs started at the bottom, too, and put in all the hard work to get to where he is now. After 11 years, everything works because of compounding efforts and exponential growth. That earned them a $40M bonus for the GPM community in just 90 days!
And that $40 million in 90 days was not magic. It happened because of:
A product that changes lives, and people believe inA generous company with leaders with a vision who inspire everyone to dream big A supportive community helping each other grow and celebrating their winsShowing up every day with consistency and commitmentIt's about a team that came together, shared a dream, and hustled to make it real.
"See what's possible, celebrate, and acknowledge other people. If you have bitter energy towards other people winning, other people getting big contest bonuses or any of those kinds of stuff, you're sabotaging your ability to receive that for yourself in the future." - Balazs W Kardos
Tune into this episode to implement the strategies for choosing a high-ticket business and creating a team that can make the $40M possible in 90 days.

Wed, 10 Apr 2024 - 58min - 60 - Q1 Unwrapped: A Fresh Look at 2024's Start
It's the end of the quarter, but instead of feeling relieved, you feel swamped.
Despite having a to-do list you can handle, new things keep getting added - you're working overtime, dealing with unexpected problems, and feeling like you're always falling behind.
But what if you looked at this differently?
In this episode, Balazs W Kardos wraps up the first quarter with The Diamond Life Mentor Podcast's 88,000 unique listeners and 160,000 all-time downloads, along with the updates in the past 90 days of 2024 as a mentor and business owner.
Even in the high-ticket business, he, too, faces obstacles and negativity as he lives the same human experience.You need to understand this equality and appreciate that things will turn again in a different direction.
He also recommends resetting, reflecting, and detaching from the timeline. Think about how you've handled similar situations in the past. That identity is how you learned and grew from those experiences. Once you are grateful for your progress, it will give you the energy and motivation to keep going.
Did you finish a big project or learn a new skill? These achievements might seem small, but they're proof of your growth.
Track your numbers, especially each quarter, and use those data (whether in sales, expenses, investments, productivity, health, or nutrition) to compare and tweak your performance every time.
Feeling overwhelmed is normal. By taking breaks and consistently implementing what works for your identity, you will be stronger and more capable of new surprises in the future.
"You are relentlessly pursuing a better version of yourself. And if that's true for you, smile, and give yourself grace because you deserve that." - Balazs W Kardos

Wed, 27 Mar 2024 - 21min - 58 - DLM Uncut: Leaning into Faith + Knowing When to Scale
There's no such thing as "the one perfect ad."
Even though a fellow entrepreneur has been bragging about crazy sales with peanuts for ad spend, and it feels like they're winning the game, leaving you stuck with your "meh" ad.
Fear creeps in because you don't get leads and sales yet, but guess what? You don't have to focus on one ad and treat it as your best buddy. It's just a tool in your marketing toolbox.
Remember what you've done on that first ad and its performance, but don't let it hold you back. Try new things, and create ads that resonate even deeper with your audience.With more other ads, you can tweak each one and talk directly to a different type of customer, in their own words, about the problems they care about.
In this episode of Diamond Life Mentor Uncut, Balazs W Kardos digs deep into ads and talks about fear, managing ad spending, return on ad spend (ROAS), front-end sales, cost per acquisition, and commissions with Csilla Deak, one of his students in the mentorship program.
Balazs tells her that the ad spend isn't a waste. The money she spends finding customers (ad spend) should flow back to her with interest (commissions). It's an investment because she's putting money into finding customers and hopefully getting more in return.
His advice? Keep A/B testing, set timelines, and diversify using different styles of photos and videos addressing people's problems. And that's how she will reach more people and make more sales, especially in direct response and network marketing.
"The most important number is how many front-end sales to make to get it back in an Enagic sale. Now, typically, this is about 30%. Some people have 50%, 60%, or 70%, which is even better. That means that ads, marketing, branding, and funnel are congruent to what they get when they pay." - Balazs W Kardos

Wed, 20 Mar 2024 - 25min - 57 - Diamond Life Mentor Uncut: Coaching Client Transformation
You've been telling yourself a story, maybe one filled with doubts and negativity.
But sometimes, all it takes is a simple shift in perspective. Instead of believing those negative thoughts, you can say, "Hold on a minute, I don't believe that about myself. I am enough, and I deserve to feel good."
It might seem small, but it's a significant first step.By changing that inner voice, you can start to let go of the pain from the past and embrace the truth: you are worthy.
In this episode, Balazs W Kardos dives deep into applying the power of personal transformation with one of his mentees in another Diamond Life Uncut call last February, as he answers Felipe's questions about overcoming limiting beliefs, building a connection with his audience, and tweaking his top and bottom sales funnel to achieve his goals.
Felipe thought he was doing great at his sales calls and advertisements by being pleasant and accommodating. Then he realized he wasn't making sales because despite showing them what they liked, he wasn't making a deep connection with them.
While the truth hurts, Balazs tells Felipe it is part of the process. What matters now is he will be more authentic to his leads by sharing his story, wins, and challenges, and make sure he also practices daily gratitude, visualization, and meditation for his personal development.
"By sharing our defining moments, we create deeper connections and understanding of ourselves, the world, and others. It's how we become authentic in a leveraged way." - Balazs W Kardos

Wed, 13 Mar 2024 - 20min - 56 - 11 Year Anniversary + 1 Year Anniversary of Podcast
Many people romanticize success.
You see stories of dream lifestyles, sales figures, homes, cars, traveling the world, etc. It can be inspiring, but there is also the dark side of discouragement.
And it is where the "It Doesn't Matter How" mindset becomes crucial - an approach that isn't about dismissing the achievements of others but about shifting your focus from the "how" of success (the specific numbers, strategies, or timelines) to the "what": consistent, focused action.
That is because these successful people reach their goals through hard work, and believing you can do that is more important than thinking it is impossible to achieve those numbers.
Imagine that happening after eleven years as Balazs W Kardos celebrates his double anniversary in Enagic and The Diamond Life Mentor podcast!
From starting with 80 sales in the first year, he increased it to 46,000 in five years, joined the ranks, bought his dream home, and crossed the exponential growth curve because of the sequence of leadership, sales team, and overall collective effort that he established. In February 2024, he made 270,785 high-ticket product sales in the Global Prosperity Movement, 1,446 people in his community ranked 6A, 78k unique listeners, and 128k podcast downloads.
His secret was to focus on the data and not how long it took him. That is why his vision finally happened and continued to grow because everybody was duplicating - he did not celebrate success alone because he helped more people create expansion. And that is what makes the Diamond Life happen.
"There is no ceiling on your potential. The growth never stops. So even though we always think like when we’re here, we’re done, no. You're there, but you get to go to the next part of the journey." - Balazs W Kardos
Tune into this episode to focus on taking action, learning from mistakes, and not letting the gap between you and those success stories hold you back.

Wed, 06 Mar 2024 - 58min - 55 - DL Mentor Uncut: Client Success Interview w/ Carlos Gonzales
Do you know that even having a professional background in your chosen career or business doesn't mean you shouldn't seek help from someone else?
Imagine being a nutritionist and owning a wellness clinic and a gym - it's a whole health and fitness package, right? Everything was working successfully, but suddenly between 2009-2011, the business faced its biggest challenges. As an entrepreneur, you realized that despite the experience, you lacked something crucial - salesmanship and personal development.
Face-to-face contact with clients does not guarantee you have the skills to close deals, nurture, and sustain them, especially if you're not using the right technology, are inconsistent, and are not visualizing your goals every single day.
Balazs W Kardos shares Carlos Gonzales' journey in today's Diamond Life Mentor Uncut Success Interview when he discovered Enagic through someone who became his mentor by telling his transformation and the power of water behind it.
Without this person approaching him, sharing his story and how the business works, he would not have believed what success it brings by just buying this special water for the gym.
Ultimately, clarity brought him closer to learning more about the high-ticket business.
When Carlos outgrew his first mentor, he needed to reset and did a 7-year sabbatical to realign his vision. That's when he joined the convention and discovered the Diamond Life Mentorship Program in October 2020. Carlos learned more about showing up consistently, personal development, started daily routines for his morning and night rituals, practiced visualization and gratitude, and became a better leader for his community. Now, he hits his $20k weekly income goals, ranks 6A2-3, and aims to earn $83k-100k monthly by the end of 2024.
"You possess the most valuable skill - being coachable and putting your ego aside. Many young people lack this skill. And then a coach and a mentor's goal, even in myself in my business, and my coaching business, is I want people to outshine the master. You did it before, and that is the biggest compliment for me." - Balazs W Kardos

Wed, 28 Feb 2024 - 38min - 54 - Momentum Mastermind Guest Speaker
When you appreciate what you have, it turns obstacles into opportunities. Failures become lessons that build resilience.
Gratitude is your way of looking at setbacks, not as roadblocks but as stepping stones on your journey to success. And that makes you stronger to try and test again, start a new business, and continue moving forward.
In the same way, Balazs W Kardos accepted opportunities and faced challenges from selling low-ticket networking marketing products like slimming coffee and shakes promoting a business opportunity on health and fitness to high-ticket sales.
Though he succeeded in selling these low-ticket products, he did not settle for less to provide his family and himself with the lifestyle and freedom they deserved.
In this episode, Balazs W Kardos speaks from his experience as a guest in Momentum Mastermind last January 30. Balazs highlighted how Enagic, like water, has the potential to bring life to both personal and business aspects. With $168 million in sales revenue and 80 product sales in 2023, $100 million went to his community and changed many lives.
He chose Enagic because of leverage - how its business model can transform lives using the essence of water. That is when he recognized having the right timing as a business owner, looking at favorable moments, and taking action despite having yet to have sales for 21 days in January 2014.
By fearlessly focusing on a single product, not letting rejection discourage him, and strategically working on generating leads through invitations and tracking numbers, he and his team achieved outstanding results and exponential growth. That, for him, shows a delicate balance between gut feelings, market trends, and calculated risk-taking.
"Forgive yourself for any procrastination you've been doing. I want you to forgive yourself for any fear holding you back from any habits you should be practicing, but you're not currently forgiving yourself on this momentum." - Balazs W Kardos

Have you ever been 100% committed to something after facing multiple challenges?
It is what starting a business looks like. Going all in means more than just testing the waters because you are diving in with everything you've got. You have to take risks.
It may involve launching something new, entering a new market, testing new strategies, or joining a mentorship program to get feedback, scale, and reach your goals.
In another Diamond Life Uncut Success Story Interview, Balazs W Kardos shares Dale Mohney and Hannah Borchardt's story of living the Diamond Life after moving to Tampa, Florida, to live together, travel more, and grow their business full-time without the 9 to 5.
After being in a long-distance relationship, joining online businesses, getting scammed for over $2,500, and having separate jobs, investing in the Diamond Life Mentorship Program changed how they handle business and personal life.
Within 12 weeks of being in the mentorship, they consistently earned five-figure months like no other job or income source. It began with a mindset shift to step out of their comfort zone. They aimed to earn sales, acquire leads, and qualify them to ensure they align and get value. They continued asking for feedback and identifying areas of improvement to change their strategy for the better.
This year, Dale and Hannah target to rank 6A by June, reach 50 product sales, and help 40 people earn $3k-5k monthly with $30-50k in commissions.
"It's like preparing their mindset to see it. They need to see it to receive the information the way it is. Because if you look at something with the wrong mindset, you see the almost like the opposite." - Balazs W Kardos

Wed, 14 Feb 2024 - 33min - 52 - My Daily Method of Operation In My First Year
Every entrepreneur faces challenges, especially in the first year in business, transitioning from having a job to investing in a venture without guaranteed sales or return on investment.
But this is also where excitement, resilience, creativity, and determination come into playas youface rejection, failure, and judgment from other people in the process.
That is why there should be a "daily method of operation" to overcome these obstacles as soon as the initial year.
One of Balazs W Kardos' mentees asked about his daily method of operation in one of their Diamond Life Mentorship calls, which led him to share how he went from the bottom to the top and his community ranking first for four months in a row in a global contest after ten years in business.
Balazs suggests that the key to reaching your goals and dreams is taking action without avoiding fear and rejection. He stayed determined and saw setbacks as opportunities to learn and grow.
And Balazs didn't just talk about his goals. He also asked for advice from others to improve his strategies and balanced his work with his personal life, understanding that both were important for long-term success.
He also recommends that whatever you learn, you have to do it and teach it. Balazs' success shows that when you share your journey with others, you gain more knowledge and can help others. If you persevere, have sales skills, and are a leader, anything is possible.
By the end of 2024, he expects to reach $250 million in sales and see a 30% increase in monthly downloads.
"I wasn't attached to what people would say. And, to me, it was a numbers game where I had to feel like I didn't waste a day. That was the level of urgency that I operated with, that became my daily method of operation." - Balazs W Kardos

Wed, 07 Feb 2024 - 55min - 51 - The Key to Optimizing Life and Business Results
In life and business, getting things right often means keeping a close eye on what you're doing. It's like having a personal guide to show you the way.
And the thing is, results do not always indicate growth because it's a numbers game - you'll know if you're doing something right once you see the data around your routines.
For your health, it means keeping track of things like how much you walk, what you eat, and how well you sleep; in business, understanding the numbers behind sales, leads, and cost per lead is crucial.
In this episode, Balazs W Kardos wants you to determine your ratio of success by tracking and measuring your goals and paying attention to business and health goals as he celebrates the Diamond Life Mentor Podcast's 50th episode milestone.
He wants you to ensure that regardless of making sales, you should understand your base amount to spend in business to remain profitable. The key is to put an arbitrary amount for each lead, know how many leads you get and the sales they generate, and how those same leads continue to buy your products and services over time.
But you cannot be productive in sales if you are not healthy enough to operate the business. That is why, aside from staying on track with sales and leads, Balazs shares his secrets to preventing a plateau in fitness by meal planning, eating a balanced diet, checking his macros, sleep levels, and his goals around them.
Lastly, use apps or tools that simplify the process and remind you to get moving. And from there, you're one step closer to your growth because of commitment and daily dedication.
"Track your progress to achieve your goal, whether it's body weight, body fat, income, or any metric. Use this data to teach others and succeed in your work."- Balazs W Kardos

Wed, 31 Jan 2024 - 39min - 50 - How To Force Growth with Future Goals
Sometimes, it's not about setting new goals that push you forward.
It is having a do-or-die attitude where you have to take risks to grow and reach your dreams because if you don't, how will you live your life to the fullest?
Take it from Balazs W Kardos, where seven years ago, when he was 6A2-3, they moved into their dream home worth $1.6 million within 18 months! It seemed a little impossible with their finances and that timeframe back then, but guess what?Because of setting a deadline, the vision was clear. That pushed him further to work harder and stay committed to his goal.
That is how Balazs' good relationship with deadlines sets a target to keep him moving. Fast forward to 2023, he brought in a whopping $168 million in sales and got $100 million back to his community.
And while everything is falling into place tenfold, it doesn't end there because he will implement what works even better to achieve another Diamond Life milestone by 2026.
Balazs wants you to have this mentality that doesn't involve reckless decision-making but making courageous choices. It is embracing one shot at one goal, claiming it, and knowing there will be no next time.
"The only difference between where you are now and where you want to be is who you become, how you show up every day, and your daily method of operation. Keep chipping away at your goal persistently until you achieve it." - Balazs W Kardos
Listen to this episode to take a moment to target something that either excites or scares you but fuels your journey.

Wed, 24 Jan 2024 - 27min - 49 - DL Mentor Uncut - Client Success Interview w/ Jess Bellofatto
Many people dream about being their boss, working on their business instead of working for someone and getting stuck in the 9-5.
It is because even though entrepreneurship has risks, the ultimate ROI is the freedom to do what you love.This flexibility translates into a better work-life balance so you can be actively present for your family.
Imagine being a beach lover, having a yoga studio, teaching yoga and paddleboarding for 18 years in the Hamptons. Sounds even better? But dealing with the rich and earning up to 250k annually, charging $300 per hour can also lead to burnout.
So, where to now?
Balazs W Kardos shares another success story in this Diamond Life Mentor Uncut with Jess Bellofatto. She's a mom of three and has been an entrepreneur her entire life, as she values time with the family, health and fitness, and traveling.
Exhausted from running an active lifestyle business, Jess wanted something more with the same freedom to travel and deal with people. So she invested thousands of dollars in various coaches and plant medicine products for four and a half years, but it did not cut it either.
Discovering Enagic and joining the Diamond Life Mentorship Program changed everything. After a year of consistently showing up and eliminating her limiting beliefs, she went from earning 8k to 13k months to bringing in over 45k sales in just two days! She hit the 6A rank and reached the 32k month with bonuses in a short amount of time!
That is when she realized that mentorship wasn't about putting the training modules to work - it is transmitting the inspiration into reality by surrounding yourself with people sharing the same mindset towards personal development.
"How can we ever attract something that we put so much negative emotion against? If you hate wealthy people, you subconsciously block yourself from being wealthy." - Balazs W Kardos
Catch this episode to learn how abundance mindset and mentorship work for your personal and business development to take to another level.

Wed, 17 Jan 2024 - 32min - 48 - Mindset To Quit Your 9-5 In 2024
Quitting the 9-5 routine in 2024 is about a shift in mindset and making the right choices.
Consider realigning your goals, but be aware that time and money are always available. It just needs to be optimized.
Not enough money? You might not be prioritizing your spending or allocating your money effectively.
Not enough time? Invest in outsourcing. Once you outsource some tasks in your business and personal life, you can focus around 90-95% or at least an uninterrupted hour a day on your business while keeping your personal life separate.
Balazs W Kardos shares in this episode how having deep focus and daily obsession with your goals can set you apart from other 9-5 employees stuck in the same old routines.
An employee may work hard, but one with passion and purpose to break free is at another level.
That's how you can quit the 9-5 to start your own business using your work experience and skill set to your advantage.
"I'm obsessed with it. Every one of my choices and decisions has to go through this filter - is this allowing me to grow, improve, get better at hitting my results, and make the necessary sacrifices and changes in the short term to get me to where I want to go in the long term?" - Balazs W Kardos

Happy New Year! As we welcome 2024, how about changing the approach to New Year's resolutions?

Track your daily progress and build something significant by the end of the year because no matter how small or big your goals are, it's about being accountable and staying committed to your daily, weekly, and monthly efforts that matter.
Just like Balazs W Kardos entering his eighth cycle in Numerology this year, in this episode, he continues to align with these cosmic forces for personal development along with his continuous dedication to growth.
Not only that, this year is also remarkable for his Diamond Life Mentorship Program and community as Enagic celebrates its 50th anniversary in Okinawa, Japan, in June.
So this is a perfect time to recognize achievements in the coming months with his plans to create a trifecta of his GPM group, a marketing training system, a mobile app, and much more valuable content to expect in the Diamond Life Mentor podcast.

Blowing out birthday candles isn't just about growing older.
Sometimes, it plays a cosmic reset button that makes you reflect on the previous year and find meaning in the new number/age.
Have you ever heard of Numerology? Numerology, especially your Life Path number, gives you the lowdown on your inherent qualities and what challenges life might throw you. So, each passing year brings a fresh set of energies that can guide your decisions toward your growth.
And as Balazs W Kardos turns 38 on December 27, he dedicates this episode to talking about his self-awareness and the best routes he had for his evolution.
He started realigning his name and purpose through his full name, Balazs W Kardos. He combined this brand with hard work, dedication, and commitment, resulting in a quantum leap in his life.
After ten years, he achieved the rank of 6A2-6 in Enagic and has recently generated $1.3 million in 90 days,a testament to the power of his residual income strategies and contribution to his network and community. That is a group effort of $35 million paid out of $50 million in product sales during that period, which made them the number one globally for the 6A2-6 ranking.
This year also marks the fourth anniversary of the Diamond Life Mentorship and Coaching Program. Growing by 500%, he has helped 280 clients achieve clarity, confidence, and breakthroughs in life and business. The program, born out of necessity, has made clients get their first sales in 10K months, 50K months, and even 100K months after joining the mentorship and taking action consistently.
Balazs believes that the power of impacting lives becomes clear—it's a reciprocal journey. The more lives he touches, the more abundance flows back.
"You change lives by changing others' lives. If you help enough other people, eventually, you will have everything you want. There's a direct correlation." - Balazs W Kardos

Wed, 27 Dec 2023 - 57min - 45 - 2023 Year In Review
This year has been more than a series of days and months; it's been an opportunity for deep self-reflection and personal development.
With all the hustle and hard work, you get caught up in the habits that become second nature. Sometimes, you do not realize these repetitive tasks are why you get stuck, become unhappy, or do not reach your goals.
But as you step back at what you did for the year, the lessons learned, and the decisions made, these routines remain crucial for your growth as long as you know how to change them.
Balazs W Kardos takes us into the year in review this 2023 to reflect on your accountability where you see your progress more than the dollars earned or the projects completed.
He wants you to have created a life that aligns with your values - one that brings wealth and a lifestyle that resonates with who you are.
Balazs recommends that it is okay to seek help from the community and write everything down. Look at your calendar. It shows when things went well and when you can do better.
What events held you back? What places made you grow your network? Who did you connect with? Take a moment to go down memory lane and see how you progress with others.
"As we transition towards looking into the future, take a hard look at what we must change in our daily lives and routines, habits, priorities, and schedules to get the desired results that we are ready to expand into." - Balazs W Kardos

Wed, 20 Dec 2023 - 59min - 44 - $1M in 90 Days
Kick-off this journey by talking about hard work.It's about committing to the hours, effort, and energy needed to achieve financial goals.
Earning $1 million in just 90 days might seem like a far-off dream. But for those who know the power of hard work, dedication, consistency, and commitment, this dream is more than wishful thinking.
It can be a reality.
In another Diamond Life Uncut session of the Global Prosperity Movement Live and Mentorship Program, Balazs W Kardos talks about being an example that earning this much is possible.
And that is because he did not just sit on the couch, watch Netflix, or settle for anything less. He hustled to 10x his income year after year, and this time, he did it in only 90 days! Amazing, right?
Is it unbelievable? No!
Whether building a business, investing, or providing valuable services, Balazs' foundation is simple — a strong work ethic. He's living the Diamond Life because he does not forget his "why"; in the hustle, his ultimate goal is to give freedom and lifestyle to his family.
And that is the driving force that keeps him taking action. That also made him the latest Enagic E-friends cover story, going from investing $4,000 to becoming a mentor and earning millions of dollars passively after ten years.
Lastly, Balazs is excited to share the potential of having 1,000 individuals under his mentorship become 6A2-3 in the next decade as they focus on skill-building and forecasting.
"The game we're playing is to constantly work on ourselves to become the best version of ourselves." - Balazs W Kardos

With outsourcing and automation of systems in place, she works hands-free while earning passive income, spending time with the family, and traveling to the places she's dreamed of.

You have followers, and you're posting organically regularly. But there seems to be a problem.
You get tired of wandering and posting various topics on social media without getting enough leads, sales, and direction from your target market.
One reason? You're not tracking them, so you don't know what you're missing.
In this episode, Balazs W Kardos shows one of the most vital aspects of the sales funnel - knowing your numbers.
Understanding the importance of tracking leads, conversions, and utilizing paid advertising as your top-of-the-funnel approach can make all the difference.
Balazs teaches you three things - Track. Analyze. Optimize. Knowing your numbers means more than keeping tabs on your expenses and revenue. It means understanding your audience's behavior, learning what works, sharing value from user-generated content, and ensuring every marketing dollar invested delivers a return on investment (ROI).
While organic marketing methods are valuable, they are most effective when complemented by paid advertising to reach a broader audience.
"I think that when you pay money to do any form of paid traffic and paid advertising, you're in a much better position to be sharing a message with someone that it applies to." - Balazs W Kardos

Wed, 18 Oct 2023 - 27min - 35 - 10 Year Freedom Anniversary
Ten years of freedom from having a boss feels like breaking free and finding true financial independence.
But it wasn't easy. Those early years were tough.
Imagine earning $30,000 monthly with a full-time job and a side business down to $8,000 overnight. There's fear, anxiety, and stress, thinking if it was a good idea to leave the corporate behind.
In this episode, Balazs W Kardos tells you what he did ten years ago on October 5, 2013, as he now celebrates his tenth freedom anniversary, traveling the world in business class with the family, meeting more people, changing their lives, having a passive income business and a mentorship program.
He feared making a mistake in leaving his job behind and losing what he earned before, but he believed that there was a guarantee. And guess what? He got ten times more income because it motivated him to work even harder in exchange for living the Diamond Life.
He showed up, launched his business full-time, and became the best leader and salesperson to replicate himself with more leaders who could do the same.
"Your whole future depends on who you are and how you show up today. That's the bottom line. Your future life, the freedom, the luxury, the experiences, the joy, everything you could have depends on how you are or are not showing up today." - Balazs W Kardos

Wed, 11 Oct 2023 - 1h 00min - 34 - Identifying Your "X" Factor & Owning It
Your branding, or "x" factor, is a unique description that makes you stand out.
And it's not just about what you do; it's about being known for something you love with your style.
The problem is that not everyone knows their "x" factor.
So, the next step? Look yourself in the mirror and accept both your qualities and imperfections.Continue showing up in your career, personal development, or business, and think about your choices that bring joy because that leads to embracing the brand that is solely yours.
In this episode, Balazs W Kardos wants you to identify and own your "x" factor as you find your desires and align them with your goals. He believes that money by itself is worthless, so sometimes you have to consider your wants over your needs when tapping into the future.
Why? Money as a tool only becomes valuable if it's not only for survival but for achieving dreams and making a positive impact, just like how he lived the Diamond Life and grew the Mentorship Program in ten years.
Recognizing this helped him make intentional choices, ensuring his desires always contribute to his personal and professional growth.
"You need to step up and step into this mindset that everything is connected, and how you show up today is how your business will show up tomorrow." - Balazs W Kardos

Wed, 04 Oct 2023 - 36min - 33 - Diamond Life Summer Euro Trip 2023
Downtimes can be powerful for creating growth and breakthroughs.
During this time, you step away from the daily routines, giving yourself a chance to recharge mentally and physically. Better yet, earn passive income away from business.
In this episode, Balazs W Kardos is here again after healing from a cough and traveling to Europe with the family for a month!
He talks about the Diamond Life Mentor's upcoming live podcast episodes, future mentorship in his hometown, Hungary, and daily and monthly product earnings of $630 per day to $18,000 per month as a 6A-6 awardee.
With the help of Balazs' team and his online business model, he still grew the podcast up to 20% last August through snippets of value from the previous coaching calls. That makes getting the podcast ranked on top challenging, but the consistent growth in downloads and listenership and the lives it changes keep him going.
"And I'm sharing this with you because it's possible for you too, and it might take three years from now, five years from now, ten years from now, longer than ten years from now. But it's possible for you if you keep your eye on the prize and keep building and keep working and keep showing up and keep getting better, and practicing." - Balazs W Kardos

GPM 10-Year Anniversary: Diamond Life Mastermind (replay)
Wed, 27 Sep 2023 - 1h 03min - 32 - Online vs. Offline For The Six-Figure Marketer
When starting a business, the choice between doing it offline traditionally or in an online platform allows you to weigh the pros and cons, especially in network marketing.
Offline businesses have the quality of face-to-face interactions and personal relationships, which are the foundation of trust and authenticity.But it also usually confines you to a specific location and time.
On the flip side, online businesses have the power of the internet, which creates a broader reach. You can speak to a global audience, have time freedom, and access various digital tools for marketing and automation. Yet, it sometimes struggles to establish the kind of personal relationships that offline businesses excel at.
Now, imagine combining the best of both worlds.
Balazs W Kardos shares a flashback in 2020 during the Diamond Life TV coaching call, going from networking offline, delivering alkaline water door-to-door, and doing presentations ten years ago to shifting to online coaching and digital marketing.He started analyzing the numbers involved in cost per lead, acquisition, and lifetime customer value in low-ticket and commission versus high-ticket and commission in the company.
With high-ticket products and services, he can also deal with clients who can afford them in the long term rather than keep a low price for the sake of quantity without the loyalty of high-paying clients.
Because of better ROI, he can afford to use paid traffic to automate the lead generation process to scale and have more freedom - the exact strategy he teaches in the Diamond Life Mentorship Program, where he went from earning $50 commissions to $6,000 in one night.
"I teach you the principles in five different areas of your life, with your mindset, with your alliances, with your vitality, your freedom, and your abundance to dial these things in so you can explode and start earning multiple six figures and seven figures and beyond in a way that integrates nicely. So you can have a thriving business and lifestyle. - Balazs W Kardos

That way, you always pivot to the steps you've taken and the valuable skills you've acquired.

Wed, 06 Sep 2023 - 12min - 29 - Why You'll Never Be Happy If You Don't Have Freedom
Have you ever felt like life is slipping through your fingers as you chase money?
Think back to those days when work consumed every hour of your day. Your passion took a back seat. Your family time became scarce, and self-care? Almost nonexistent.
And it leaves you with little control over your own life.
But what if you can have a different path? What if, even if you work, you have time freedom that nurtures you and your family's happiness and purpose?
In this episode, Balazs W Kardos believes you will never be happy without being free, but it comes at a price. According to statistics, an average person only has eight years to live the life they want. Because as time goes by, you are not getting any younger, especially if you are wasting it on things that do not align with your values and expertise.
So Balazs wants you to divide your life into two buckets. One with all the things you do not want to do but need to do, and the latter with everything you dream of. Next step? Complete the first bucket as hard and fast as possible so the second bucket becomes easy, just like he did for five years.
To gain freedom and happiness, have the autonomy to mold your hours around what your heart craves. So you are not solely raking in cash but using those earnings to create a life that resonates with your Diamond Life.
"Now, one of these tough questions might be, what vehicle am I in? Is the vehicle I am in right now allowing me to get to where I need to go in the shortest time possible? This was the question I asked myself seven and a half years ago. And that was the major catalyst why I got involved in the high ticket direct sales company that allowed me to build my foundation and grow my cash flow." - Balazs W Kardos
Tune into this episode to never trade time for freedom again and work toward the Diamond Life you deserve.

Wed, 23 Aug 2023 - 42min - 27 - Taking Action & Getting Out of Your Own Way with Lauren Wessel
We doubt ourselves, worry about making mistakes, or fear failure, and it often stems from the past.
However, it does not mean we cannot acknowledge those lessons and be a better version of ourselves this time.
When we want change to happen, we also have to get out of our way, where limitations no longer hold us back, even if we have to start all over again.
In this episode, Balazs W Kardos welcomes another client success story about taking action and getting out of her way to start a business and earn 5-figure months with Lauren Wessel.
Lauren shares her experience going from one job to another while traveling, but it only did so much. After an injury, she had to step back and find something that fits her values and fulfills her passion and lifestyle more than just earning money.
After joining a 90-day Mastermind, she discovered the Diamond Life Mentorship program, and that is when her life started to turn around.
Because of taking action and showing up on every single call, she earned over $11,000 when she first started alone, and six months later, she has a team, an organized calendar, more freedom, and a lifestyle business for life.
"And I think that we look at our journeys in business, especially as this thing we want to rush and get to so fast. And ultimately, the growth and the evolution of getting better than who we are when we start and how we see the world and our perception is really what we should focus on. And then everything else starts to click and come forward.” – Balazs W Kardos

Wed, 16 Aug 2023 - 34min - 26 - Skyrocket Your Business And Stay Motivated Year Round
New Year, New You?
As part of Balazs W Kardos' Diamond Life flashback series, we open season two of the Diamond Life Mentor podcast, rewinding to the New Year 2021.
Let's take a step back towards the time we write our New Year's resolutions, but this time instead of just thinking about becoming someone better, let's focus more on how to make this change possible and consistent.
For instance, each year is like a puzzle with many pieces, and each piece is a step toward our goal. When we focus on putting it in place, it starts forming naturally. This approach removes the pressure of chasing the result (goal) which we cannot control and concentrating on the journey (process) within our control.
In this episode, Balazs, in his upcoming nine years in the network marketing business, wants us to celebrate the New Year with clarity and motivation by having a clear vision of where we are now and where we want to go in the business using the Diamond Life Accelerator approach.
As we write in detail every single thing that consists of our life today and replace them with what we want to change, it becomes a template of our game plan every time we stumble. That way, we solidify our identity, don't lose motivation, and skyrocket our business while we raise the bar for ourselves.
"So if you want to skyrocket your sales in 2021, you need to get super efficient at running the process, running the play."- Balazs W Kardos
Tune into today's episode to go beyond chasing success and design the years filled with learning, growth, and accomplishments.

Wed, 09 Aug 2023 - 27min - 25 - Why You Need to Make More Money
As a content creator, prioritizing well-being is as important as providing value to the audience.
After all, what good is valuable content if it comes at the cost of your health?
After doing non-stop speaking events, Balazs W Kardos realizes it is time to listen to his body and pause to get better, but it does not stop there. He will continue to give value and produce content weekly without straining his voice and overall health.
In today’s episode, he takes us back to one of his weekly GPM calls three years ago, where he talks about reasons people need to make more money. He remembers when Margaret was still pregnant and about to go into ultrasound, and to be able to join her, it cost an extra $380.
That made him realize that if they did not have that extra money, they would not be able to share the experience, which could have been a little heartbreaking.
So money is not the root of all evil or selfishness, but getting stuck struggling to succeed is. As Balazs earns more, he can providefor himself and his loved ones and improve their quality of life. At the same time, there is an opportunity to help others.
He is proof that it is possible, as he comes from both sides of the spectrum, starting small to living the Diamond Life as an online business owner and mentor through years of hard work and passion in defining his why and reaching his goals.
"Regardless of what your beliefs are, regardless of what your spiritual beliefs are, your religious beliefs are, your political beliefs are, any of the beliefs that you have, I wish to pass on to you this belief that you are worthy, you are enough, you can create however much financial abundance you require to take care of you, but also to have much more to give, to contribute, to be able to make a difference make an impact with as well." - Balazs W Kardos

Going for an opportunity in your 20s without overthinking can feel exhilarating and liberating.It is taking a leap of faith and embracing the excitement in exchange for freedom and lifestyle.
Now think of living and building a business on a private island in Bali, Indonesia. It's the ultimate dream for many!

Aron reveals that by having a mindset shift of not focusing on money but helping people see results in the product they are selling, he also attracts a lot of better team members who are consistent in reaching their goals.
"Because the way we get to our ultimate goals and dreams is by helping enough other people achieve their version of their goals and dreams.

Wed, 14 Jun 2023 - 31min - 17 - The Dark Side To Creating Your Diamond Life
Life does not always sail to a smooth destination. There are challenges and obstacles that you need to overcome.
And the consequences of your actions, whether you succeed or not, vary in how you face them.
Did you know that 97% stay in their comfort zones while 3% aim to solve their problems, improve, and live their best life?
That same 3% of people are those who create a Diamond Life.
But while you often look up to their greatness, it is not easy to understand the dark side of their journey. It comes with a lot of doubts, sacrifices, and disagreements.
In today’s episode, Balazs W Kardos talks about the reality behind the stage, applause, and the challenges he faced that tested his commitment and determination to become the Diamond Life Mentor.
And just like any other icons you see today, Balazs shares a glimpse of LeBron James' story. He also experienced immense pressure and criticism throughout his basketball career. He faced the dark side of his judgment and questioned his loyalty to his previous team and state.
But he remains dedicated and becomes one of the basketball legends, fighting battles as long as he lives.
LeBron's and Balazs' lives want you to see that these are necessary on the journey to the Diamond Life because success needs you to break through the darkness even when others doubt you or question your choices.

Wed, 31 May 2023 - 45min - 15 - Freedom Is The Ultimate Currency
In this fast-paced world, it is easy to overlook what truly matters.
We often find ourselves caught up in financial success, neglecting the importance of aligning our goals with the aspirations of our loved ones and the dreams of our spouse and children.
Until we become trapped in a prison of societal limitations and mediocrity as we work toward retirement. We delay precious time with our family and eventually lose our freedom.
That is not the life we want. We deserve freedom that goes beyond momentary pleasures. It is where we possess the financial means to support our dreams and enjoy the luxuries that life has to offer.
In today's episode, Balazs W Kardos shares with us how freedom becomes the ultimate currency as he travels to Maui with his whole family for two weeks staying in a 5-star hotel and living the best life without limitations while still earning residual income 10x the amount of his trip!
And that is how The Diamond Life business model works.
As Balazs already did the hard work upfront, he created the tools, strategies, and guidance necessary to unlock our full potential to create a life of unprecedented success.
“On those tough days, understand that the positive of not giving up and making it to the top and making it to this level of financial freedom, time freedom, and location freedom is a thousand times better than the worst day along the journey to get there.” - Balazs W Kardos
Imagine the joy of waking up every day with a sense of purpose, knowing we have the freedom to make a difference.
That is the beauty of The Diamond Life.

Wed, 10 May 2023 - 46min - 12 - The Power of One
Do you believe that you have the power to change your life after just one conversation, just one phone call? Are you just one connection away from completely altering your future and manifesting your destiny? What could your life look like on a day-to-day basis if you put yourself into situations and environments where new opportunity was truly possible?
Balazs is sharing today on the power of one – that one opportunity you have to create meaningful impact, up your game, leverage a conversation, and create a new life for yourself that is sparked by that one moment of connection.
From creating goodwill at a networking event by connecting people and showing genuine interest in other people to stories of going to a mastermind and hitching a ride with the guest speaker (and the business opportunities that came from that encounter), Balazs is helping us appreciate the value of becoming a 'meaningful specific' rather than just a 'wandering generality.' What's your next big 'power of one' moment?
"We have that ability, you and I, to have something of value, to provide a golden goose that lays these golden eggs for other people, and give it away in abundance. There's no limitation." ~ Balazs W Kardos
In This Episode:
- What are you doing to put yourself out there and meet new people?
- How Balazs started networking – understanding his approach to being a ‘go-giver’

Do the people that are criticizing you have the life you want? Would you rather trade your life for a friend who's stuck in a dead-end job, or for someone like Balazs who has time freedom, is accruing generational wealth, and creating a legacy impact as he inspires others to follow their own dreams and build their own dreams?
Balazs W Kardos is back with his heavy-hitting thoughts on what it means to be a contrarian in today's society. Question everything – from the ingredients in the baby food we are looking to feed our kids with, through to the financial models that will have usenslavedin a 9 to 5.
We are swimming in debt for the wrong things, confused by our relationship with money due to a mindset that was (perhaps) instilled in us by our parents, who were franklyliving in a different time. We can change our relationship with money, we can break out of the mould of what we've grown comfortable with. And when everyone else says spend, invest instead. Invest in yourself. That's the Diamond Life approach.
“Whatever the masses are doing, do the opposite." ~ Balazs W Kardos
In This Episode:
- Is it all about the money? Shifting the perspective our parents gave us
- Hiring an expert in an industry you are not familiar with
- Understanding what it means to be a contrarian thinker
- 'Suffering in comfort'– being saddled with debt for luxury goods
