Press Release

Week 6 MKMMA

Press Release by Robin Roberts of Good Morning America,

Dream to Reality

Newscaster Robin Roberts reporting from cold brisk sunny winter morning on January 1st 2021, in North Idaho on a Plato called Highland Flats on Roman Nose Mountain. Turning into the driveway, greeted by a very large, 3000- square foot rustic log building nestled in the large cedar trees that surrounds the complex, the parking area all paved and well lite grounds welcomes you. On the building reads Dreams Are Reachable, this newly built log building is the banquette room set up with a kitchen, also has a stage for any type of needs, a place to hold birthdays, anniversary and wedding receptions and offices for private meetings.

I am about to meet the owners Wanda K Robinson and her husband Jay Robinson who has meet their dreams. The Dreams Are Reachable building is only the backdrop for what I am about to partake. Wanda and Jay live on six hundred areas of thick green forest mixture of douglas fir, pine, aspen, birch and evergreens, rolling fields of alfalfa, hay, straw and green grass pastures mixture throughout the property. Lakes, large and small, the smaller ones covered with snow and ice with only a few spots of water exposed from the bright sun shining on it all day. The larger lakes, are calm, reflections of the sky and snow covered mountain can be seen on the surface of the water. The lakes seem not to end, pop up now and then as you drive the long two lane paved driveway crossing streams that can be heard, are flowing freely under a bed of snow and ice. As the driveway winds around, it takes 10-minute from when you pulled into the driveway, to reach the grand entry. Where you are greeted by six foot tall, ten feet long, colorful river rock wall anchoring on both sides of the driveway, a large tree carving connecting to the two walls, which reads Believe And It Will Happen is carved into the massive five foot round log over the driveway entrance, no gate just the mystic grand entrance. The trees seem to part as the driveway slowly drifts to the right from the entrance, revealing a circle driveway up to the house and to the 6-car garage. Greeted by Wanda K Robinson as I slowly approached the home, the 62-year-old, 5 foot 5 inches tall 135-pound woman wearing a casual but well dressed turquoise silk blouse, with a lace neckline, adorn by what looked like a 4-ounce rustic gold nugget perched around her neck. Light blue dress style jeans and black leather flat-heeled boots. Wanda has the biggest smile on her face as she walks toward out car.

“Welcome to paradise” she says as we open the car doors, “welcome to our home.” The interdictions are finished and we are welcomed into their home. “You are probably cold let’s get inside where the fireplace is to warm you up”, Wanda says as she guides us onto the one-step decking.

The house is rustic as well, huge log home wrap around decking with cozy gondola type corners with thin branch wooden seating and plush light green pillows for cushions, bushes and empty flowerpots surrounding the outer edging of the niches.

The entryway is 8 foot in diameter, wooden flooring throughout the home, with what looks like a wall but opens to reveal a closet which Wanda hung our winter coats. The one story home is elegant but casual not decked out into log furnishings, as you would think. To the left of the entryway a grand massive family room measured 40 x 40, it had modern furniture. Wanda said “Jay allowed me to have a log home and log furniture on the deck as long as he could have a normal home inside, he doesn’t like rustic.” To the right of the family room, adjoining the kitchen, which measures about the same, eat in kitchen with large pane windows surrounding on three sides of a hexagon shaped dining area. The logs are not exposed. No fireplace or wood stove, but the chimney was seen on the outside of the home. The kitchen cabinets is all-light color wood fronts, with one wall nothing but cabinets, one of which is the refrigerator, a stove and oven island dark grey with bits of peach, green, and blue speckled granite countertops. Nothing cluttering the wrap around cabinets, everything hidden and clean lined. The house is not a box shaped, what you see from the drive way is only two rooms. Wanda asks if we would like a tour of this what I now call a mansion. To the right of the kitchen leads a wide but short angled hallway, embellish with family photos on either side, and even though there are hundreds of picture frames it does not seem cluttered. Welcomed by, yet another massive room, which my guess, if there were no furnishings, it would echo, this room too is modest and cozy. Light gray tones on what few walls there are. Fireplace crackling and sending off warm ambiance lighting. Plenty of natural lighting, from the floor to ceiling windows, on six walls, each window opens to the outside surrounding deck. Looking out the windows you see small rolling hills, another lake, and mountain set as a backdrop are the views from the main living room of the main home. This home has three bedrooms five bathrooms, and two offices, each connected by angled short hallways with personal artwork, same artwork done by their two sons when younger.

Wanda explains that all the buildings and landscaping designed and built by her husband, two grown sons, daughter in-laws, and herself. “We are tight nit family; our sons have homes on our land.” She states.

She shares with us that on the 600 acres, there are five guest cabins for family, and guest speaker they have now and then, for their business meetings. three resident homes, spread throughout the property all having Lake Mountain views, with forest and fields, as well as hiking trails. Their sons and their family living on two of the three resident homes, one set up for their daughter in-law with horses to be trained and ridden, with barns and arenas for her pleasure. All homes designed by their youngest son the architect.

Wanda asked if I would like to take the interview to the back deck, which has a fireplace to keep us warm. The main house rustic deck, overlooking the beautiful lake, and mountain views, we sit enjoying the sunrays, can smell the fresh fallen snow, and hear the clean crisp stream, and the waterfall off in the distance. Just 30 feet away stands a deer feeding in the fields, as we sit drinking hot cider, warmed by a 2 foot open pit fireplace on one side of the 10 foot round decking off the main deck.

I ask Wanda, would you mind sharing with us how you built your lifestyle?
Wanda replied it was not easy, “I knew I had to change. I knew I could do this business, years of frustrations, more downs than ups. I never gave up. I saw Molly Maxey and her son Jeff Cates do this business with ease. I knew I did not have their personalities, I told myself I have to do it differently than them for I was not a business type person or a sales man. I just had to find the way I could do it. I was great at getting people interested in information but that is where I was stuck.”

I than remarked, from the looks of it you finally found the right way to do this. How did that come about? I asked her.

“Years of frustrations, money and time, I went from one person who said they could help me, bought leads and the typical things a lot of networkers who are struggling does.”

“A friend of mine shared with me something that he thought I could use to help me. I told him I was paying this other Xango Distributor to teach me to do it on the internet. A year later $6000 gone I was still where I was before.”

“My friend George Baertlein again told me about another Xango Distributor who was training people free. I said to him well why didn’t you say something to be before… he does this little chuckles in a way of I can’t believe this. “I did tell you but you were set on doing it your way” George remarks. “Oh I said to him… sorry.”

“George continued; “Well it is not too late” and he sent me the link to website that Mark Januszewski (Mark J), aka worldslaziestnetworker had. For three months off and on, I would listen to the slide show and doing my best to us it. I did great when I did use it but found myself falling back into the same rut. I am sure you know what rut I’m talking about, Wanda said to me.” I politely nodded.

“I received an email stating Mark J was going to have a course to give a deeper indebted training. FREE, as I joined in the back of my mind was looking for the catch of where they give you so much and hook you for money later. One of the first things Mark J states is there is no hidden agenda of asking for money. He was simply giving to others because it had been given to him. The MKMMA Master Key Master Mind Alliance came about.”

I could hear in Wanda’s voice how meaningful this was to her. She went into some detail with me about how it went and about what took place.

“I had to face some hard core meaningful things about myself during the 26 week course. That is when I realized, all the time I had told myself I was not like Molly and Jeff, I could not do it the way they did it, I was setting myself up for failure. Because of Mark J course teaching, not so much to succeed but not to fail.” Wanda exclaimed.

Wanda looked toward the lake as she stated, “I had to learn to be a new person, I had to look deep inside me and give up many things. This is the best thing that has ever happened to me, for what I gave up hours of sleep, television, and most importantly, the evils that lay within me. I learned to open up and listen to people, to care about them more than myself and allowed god to shine in me.”

She continued with “Reading is not my strong point, and I was asked to read daily, from things I wrote, to what Mark J wrote and two books that help mold me into what I finally became, these books are The Greatest Salesman in the World by OG MANDINO and THINK AND GROW RICH BY NAPOLEEON HILL. So the learning began 10 years ago and here I am today with all my utmost dreams fulfilled and the new dreams I had added to replace my other dreams.”

“I had to learn to get organized, write out the business plan properly live through Blue Print, Oats, DMP, and Greatest Salesman with enthusiasm, belief and repeat it several times daily. From this course, we learn how to control our outcome, consciously and let our newly found subconscious do the rest. This course is not to teach you how to do the business but what is stopping you from doing the business right… it is breaking bad habits and replacing it with new ones.”

So just by breaking your bad habits and learning to control your subconscious mind through your conscious mind you built this life you are living now, I asked Wanda.

“NO” replied Wanda, “that was mealy the beginning, you have to do the work and build self-confidence, the training is s life changing and will allow you to take the necessary steps that was always holding you back before to work your business toward your desired dreams.”

What were the steps you took after you did the course? I asked Wanda

“Well first off you are building your business alongside while you are doing this course so you do not lose out on making money; after all you need money to live.” She piped up loudly.” Wanda continues…

“Contacting business people who had credibility in my community is where I started. This got the ball rolling. It did not happen fast. It took many attempts to reach them.”

Wanda explains; “We have a program called Xango Goodness Foundation where we feed malnourished children. Pay it forward type aspect. I earn 5% of every goodness packet purchased, which feeds 35 starving children around the world. I thought what better way to make a living in saving many lives. My goal and dream for this endeavor was to ask the richest people in town to help me feed starving children. I approached them with asking for $1000 worth of meals, which feeds 350 children, and then asked them to set up meetings for us to talk with people they knew, which could do the same thing. We feed 175,000 children doing this. To live the life I have, these were the step I took, with first working on who I am, the rest falls into place.”

Wanda and her family are free to travel; they have been in all 50 states, and she saved $150,000.00 to take her complete family all-expensive paid to Hawaii for a month on August 1st 2017, fulfilling more of her dreams. On January 1st 2012 Wanda also thanked her team members with a huge party; she rented a banquette hall, hired a band, gave awards, had Gordon Morton one of the found attended, and gave the largest fastest growing group accommodations. Wanda felt joyful to be able to thank them for all the hard work and dedications from her group.

Jay gets to gold pan where ever and whenever he likes. “Wanda is wearing a very expensive necklace that I had panned in Alaska, which I would have rather got cash for.” Jay told me as he looked at her necklace. No worries of paying the next bill, still growing her business, feeding malnourished children and offering to those who seek it, to change themselves to get what they desire.

Wanda and Jay are living there dream because of her taking the steps needed to grow from within to show it without. They continue to donate $1000 monthly to Xango Goodness Foundation, St. Jude’s Children hospital, Local Crisis Center and give four hours a week, working at Naples Soup kitchen. They donated a Million Dollar to build Community Center to the Boundary County in Bonners Ferry Idaho. A small town settled 35 miles south of the Canadian Border, today January 1st 2021 it has been finalized and will break ground this spring.

I asked Wanda why she decided on this location she chose to have the center built. Wanda said, “I realized a long time ago Bonners needed a pick me up, and as I went to several of our fairs I thought it would be great to have a campsite. That turned into a hotel for them to stay. Than I thought, about all the people who come to this and how the children locally needed more to do. I saw how large this area was. It is about the size of three football fields. To me it was a perfect place.”

Wanda told me the Community center she designed has two Olympic size swimming pools one inside one outside, water slides and many other fun filled water features. Rock climbing walls small and large, the rock hill outside at the east side of the mill seemed a great place to have built for climbing. It has smooth and ruff areas which nature provided just sitting there doing nothing. Skateboard and bicycle ramps for those who enjoy freewheeling it there is also a place for paint ball, basketball courts, track and field runs along the balcony perched all the way through the building. Pool tables, arcade and 100 computers where young and old can join in on classes to further their education to keep up with the rest of the world. Snack bar and fire place to gather around for just hanging out. Here is a community center with a twist; any member may use the hotel free of charge for out of town guess that may show up. The hotel faces the Kootenai River with the fresh cool breeze coming off the water reaching into each room; the guest can relax on the six-foot balcony with bench and table, facing north taking in the beautiful views of the Kootenai River and surrounding mountains. “I designed the inside on my childhood YMCA, with the indoor track running around the outer part of the building.” quoting Wanda.

“First, I wanted it to be free to all residents of Boundary County. As I thought more into it, I had to think of a way for it to pay for itself. Therefore, any citizen can get free membership with 20 hours a month of work in any area of the center. It takes people to run it so why not have those who use it taken care of it. To me it is more than a community center it is a place for the community to gather and grow.” She said.

“The campground sits right next to the fairgrounds west end of the site of the old crown pacific mill. The campground thick green grass slots, room for horse trailer and camper/RV and tent area, a large showers house and restrooms where 20 people can use it at one time, each camp site also as a fenced area for their pets with a cozy cool house for the pet to get out of the sun. The campground has water and electrical hookups, and ten stalls to shower their large and small animals, plenty of trees for shade. Down along the levy toward the south a 70 by 20 dog run for the pets that gets along with other dogs, all shaded.” Wanda pauses and says, “Who knows maybe I will do more for the community in the future. There is an area just coming into town from the south I always thought would be a great place to build something for the community.”

Wanda controls her thoughts, desires, and the outcome of her life has the autonomy and liberty she worked hard for, she loves her life, everyone around her she feels wonderful.

I could tell this is Wanda’s pride of joy. Interviewing Wanda made me get excited and I look forward to seeing what else Wanda will do… what her next dream will hold.

This is Robin Roberts from Good Morning America press release from the pleasant surrounds of wilderness in North Idaho where Dreams become Reality.
