Okay, so now I am feeling great!

I am on Day 4 of the Isagenix Cleanse. The first two days are detox days, with five shake days in the middle (two shakes a day and one 400-600 cal meal), with two days of detox at the end.

(If you do the math, please note that my final detox day will skip Thursday and move to Friday. Thanksgiving dinner is not to be messed with.)

Friday was the first shake day and I woke up feeling awful. And that is apparently what is to be expected after detoxing! And, I mentioned I had some horrible dreams Thursday night. Well—a friend suggested to me that this could be my mind detoxing too, and lots of negative thoughts and ideas in my head were exiting the system!

Last night I only woke up once, and still had some odd dreams. However, they were the total opposite. I dreamed about a puppy, no joke. It was the sweetest, most fun, lovable, and playful dog. It was GREAT! We just played and played and played.

Now I am looking at the first two days, the detox days, and realizing my mind made them seem a bit harder to get through than they actually were. I was going into it slightly half-committed. Which never is good. I was judgmental of the whole process, of myself for doing it and paying for it, and questioning that the results would actually be beneficial.

Well, there’s only one way to really find out! By going ALL IN and seeing what happens!

I mentioned that yesterday I cheated and had two meals—oatmeal for breakfast, and a spinach salad with grilled chicken, carrots, broccoli, and peppers for lunch. (Lemon herb dressing on the side.)

This was a really great lunch. I sat there and slowly ate it and really just savored it. The rest of the afternoon, I felt great.

At night, for dinner, I really made a thing of the shake. I am reading various books on feng shui right now and one theme is enjoying each of the senses. One book mentioned drinking a smoothie in the bathtub.

Done and done.

I don’t have a blender, but I do have this shaky thingie (technical term) that at least gets the drink nice and frothy. I made a bath, put on a jazz podcast from NPR (George Shearing on Piano Jazz), and I had my shake in the bathtub. This is really the way to go.

I have decided that for the remainder of the cleanse, there will be no more cheating. I can do this!

I have realized a lot of my eating comes down to fear. Fear of not eating enough and being tired later. Fear of not feeling totally full. It is nice to be doing this regimen to get my brain out of that mindset. I actually felt great at the kid’s party I worked today, leading 20 3-year-olds around the Central Park Zoo, getting them to waddle like the penguins and jump like the snow leopards. I had all the energy I needed and wasn’t tired at all.

I am starting to see what a great time this is for me to do a cleanse. After the kid’s party I went to visit the house I’m moving into to meet the landlord. I revisited my soon-to-be room and decided that I’m definitely redoing the place. Painting, new carpet, and deep cleaning everything. Meanwhile in my current apartment I have been going through my things bit by bit. So as I physically and mentally clear out the gunk collected in my body by doing this cleanse, I am also doing this in my home, life, and mind. Perfect timing.

So, now I am off to work out for 20 minutes. I was scared to do this the other two days. What if I felt tired? Ha! I could always just get off of the treadmill. (Yet another fear!) Today I am feeling great so I’m going for it, and then I’m really gonna enjoy cooking my light dinner. Salmon, vegetables, and brown rice await! My mouth is watering so I better go and make this workout a reality.

One of my favorite things about Isagenix, is that with Isagenix, I can actually help people help themselves feel great.  Of course the weight loss is what what most people first notice about Isagenix, but there’s a lot more to it.  Some people experience improved mood, they wake up feeling rested, some just feel better from the inside out.  My Dad’s Doctor even asked him how he reversed the aging process.  It sounds like quite a trick unless you have experienced it!

Really it’s not a trick at all Isagenix was founded with the purpose to provide quality products that really work.  Isagenix has a no compromise approach to formulation.  Nothing goes in to these products unless they meet or exceed Isagenix’s high standards and every thing that is is included is there for good reason.

Here’s great example.  Many of Isagenix product contain Niacin.  Niacin is Vitamin B3.  Niacin, by nature, is a great way of reducing your cholesterol. Many over-the-counter cholesterol medications include high does of niacin to lower bad cholesterol.

For this reason, Niacin is an amazing little vitamin!

Recently, “Researchers enrolled 363 people with heart disease or a high risk for it who had been taking statins for six years on average. Many were from Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where study leader Dr. Allen Taylor formerly worked.

Half were given Niaspan (Niacin in prescription strength) and the rest, Zetia (a pharmaceutical drug). Researchers stopped the study in June, after 208 participants had been on the medicines for 14 months, because one group was faring much better than the other.

Ultrasound images of neck arteries showed that Niaspan shrank buildups by about 2 percent, while Zetia had no effect on this even though it lowered bad cholesterol as expected.

There were two heart attacks, heart-related deaths or other heart-related problems in the 160 people given Niaspan, and nine among the 165 on Zetia.”

You can read the rest of this article at http://www.sun-sentinel.com/health/sns-ap-us-med-cholesterol-drugs,0,786919.story

Here’s some more info about Niacin:

Niacin is an essential vitamin, meaning that the body does not produce it on it’s own. However, tryptophan (an essential amino acid found in almost all foods that contain protein) can be converted to niacin in the body.  Great foods to include in your diet to increase Niacin naturally- chicken, tuna, salmon, halibut, turkey, lean beef, peanuts, eggs, and most dairy products.

Good evening,

Tonight I would like to cover two different techniques, and take a look at the pros and cons between them. Diets are all the craze today, as they always have been in the past. Sometimes it is hard to even keep up with them because there are so many. In today’s society it is the norm to want to find some quick fix, magic diet that will solve all your health and weight issues. Don’t get me wrong, some will work and you will see results but is the diet a sustainable, healthy approach to life. This question must be asked before you take on the challenge of transforming your health.

Many diets require you to simply eat less food and take a pill or drink that will help suppress your hunger. Others will tell you to eat pre-purchased prepared meals that you order through a company, and go to meetings once a week to get support toward your goals. These are all the talk today and they are advertised everywhere you look. The simple fact is, reducing your food intake, taking magic pills, and going to meetings does not seem to be the answer to reducing the overweight and obesity rates in our world today.

The answer is to find out specifics to your body type, your genetic make up, and to flood your body with nutrients which it is depleted of through everyday life. I myself have the gift of a extremely fast metabolism. When having a resting metabolism test done, the result was 1800 calories. This means that I burn 1800 calories without any physical activity per day. I urge you to also get a test done to determine how many calories you burn in order to cater an eating regimen to your system.

Genetics can also play a role in your bodily make-up, but that does not mean that it will be harder to change your image. I your family has a history of obesity or poor health, even if genetic, it can be halted if you choose to work hard and live healthy. Just because you have a genetic make-up that says you will eventually get a certain illness, don’t accept that. With a strict mindframe and persistent approach to healthy living you could slow, or even halt this in its tracks.

Nutrition and exercise are the two most important factors to leading a healthy lifestyle. Without nutrition you will not have the energy to work out, and without working out, the nutrition will not work into your body properly. Water is also your best friend if wanting to be in possession of vibrant health. Water is what allows your cells to absorb the nutrients they need to function properly. Today there is no real way to get optimum nutrition without supplementation of some sort. If you are extremely strict with what you eat, it is possible to get all you need from food, but the time involved is extreme. Supplementation is a key option in todays fast paced society.

Tomorrow this article will be continued, with more information on how to change your lifestyle to feel vibrant health. As always: If you see the chance to change the world one person at a time, dont walk away, help that one person and tell them to pass it on.

The most amazing stupid tricks network marketing companies do is letting some legal department enforce their policies and procedures.

Give this some thought. If a network marketing company has a legal team that writes the policies and procedures and oversees the legalities of the company, the network marketing company has generally spent about a quarter of a million dollars retaining this legal department.

So now the legal department has to justify their existence, since they just added a quarter of a million dollars overhead to the company. So the legal department writes Policies and Procedures so convoluted, so confusing – it’s just legalese.

And you have to read chapter 7, and remember 7.C. Then down in 19.D, they talked about it again, and you have to pull those 2 together. They talked a little bit about it up here. Now they add the rest of it down here.

But if you don’t connect the two, you don’t know what they’re talking about.
Lawyers LOVE writing All This BS!

Example: in some companies, the P & Ps say you are responsible to monitor your downline organization’s activities. If THEY do something illegal, then YOU are responsible for that.

A friend of mine got terminated because one of his downline members recruited somebody who was in another deal sideline, which was cross recruiting. But they held the sponsor responsible, and they terminated him, so they could steal his check. Real simple.

And your person signing the bonus checks needs to have built a downline themselves. MLM CEOs who have never built a downline do not have a clue about MLM distributors.

Network Marketing Companies Would Be NOTHING Without Distributors!
CEOs who have built a downline know that. They know that companies are nothing without the distributors.

Sure, they need a product. Yeah they have to ship a product. Yes, they have to send a bonus check. But who built the company? Who built the volume?
Answer: The distributor. And if the CEO realizes that, then they treat the distributors like gold. They don’t have some legal department trying to terminate their distributors.

Stupid Trick #2
And the other stupid thing that network marketing companies do is, they don’t listen to the field. The reps are in the trenches everyday. Companies need to know what their reps see, what they do, what they hear, what they say.

We tell people all the time, “Read your Policies & Procedures.” I got a call the other day from the COO of a company. Actually, his secretary called me to ask some questions about why I am telling people to read their Policies & Procedures. because they have a bunch of people doing it and it ticks them off!

This company, based out of Texas, has the most ruthless Policies & Procedures you’ve ever seen. They are unbelievable.

Want To Sell the Business that YOU built? Fuhgeddaboudit!

For example – if you wanted to sell your downline, sell your business, you have a 10-page document that you have to fill out. And before you offer the business to anybody, you have to offer to the company first.

And when you mail your request for them to buy it, you have to include a $100 nonrefundable fee. And then they can say yes or no!

Next step is, when the company says “No”, they will then send you 3 upline people that you can sell your business to. You have to offer it to each of them one at a time. And the P & Ps stipulate that to buy YOUR business, they must resign their own business.

So usually, they say “No”.  And after all 3 have turned you down, one at a time, then you have to offer your business to somebody in your downline.
And they make it so clear – they say “if you circumvent any part of this procedure, you are terminated.” So I told the secretary to have the COO call me and we could visit about the situation.  And the secretary said that he does not talk to people directly!

And I said well, “Well, he talked to YOU!” So she told me he doesn’t return phone calls, doesn’t talk to any reps directly.

I was stunned. I sat in my chair thinking, “Wow! This is unbelievable!” Now this guy wants to talk to me to find out why I am telling people to read their policies and procedures. That is amazing. what a trip!

P.S. – Have you read YOUR P & Ps lately? You should!

Wishing you much success,

Kevin & Linda Schrader

Good evening,

Tonight I want to cover the first step to getting rid of excess weight, unhealthy habits, and overwhelming stress. These three factors can truly corrupt your chances of changing your lifestyle. The only true way to discover a new you, is to incorporate a lifestyle change with a new belief system. If you do what you have always done, you will always get, what you have always gotten. Step one is to right down on paper clear, precise, shorterm goals. Post these goals somewhere you always look during the day, the mirror, your desk, wherever. Everyday when you see them, say them out loud to yourself and believe them. Your mind has to believe what you are saying in order to manifest the physical changes. This is step one to your “New You,” change of lifestyle. Recruit help and keep it up, things will happen to those who put forth the effort. Once again, If you see the chance to make the world a better place one person at a time, help that person, and tell them to pass it on!

Hello,

My name is Silas Holden and my focus on this blog is going to be nutritional cleansing. Nutritional cleansing is a fairly new food technology in which you flood your body with vital nutrients to reverse the affects of our environment, diets, and everyday pollutants on our bodies. It is a fascinating new technique which I will consistently be updating for your reading pleasure. I hope you have a great day and talk to you soon! If you see a chance to make the world a better place one person at a time, dont walk away, help that one person and tell them to pass it on.

Flax Seed is not for everyone.  It is an amazing little seed, but what might be good for one may but another in the hospital.  I heard one woman,s unbelievable story last night.

Moral.  We are all different and our bodies react differently to things we put in them.  Start out slow whit new additions.  See how you react.  Your body will tell you if it’s happy.

Listen!

So, what is flax seed oil and should we try it?

Flax seed oil is highly recommended by many in the wellness field for the general well being and whole body nutrition.  It is considered to be nature’s richest source of omega-3 fatty acids that are required for the health of almost all body systems.  Flax Seed Oil contains omega-6 and omega-9 essential fatty acids, B vitamins, potassium, lecithin, magnesium, fiber, protein, and zinc.  It is truly an amazing little seed that provides approximately 50% more omega-3 oils than what you could get from taking some fish oil.  (Not ours, but not all are as good as ours.

Some nutritionists and even scientists believe that Flax Seed could be the most important health-promoting supplement next to your multi-vitamin. That’s huge!  So, why do they say that?  It’s because almost every system in the body can benefit from flax seed oil’s natural properties, including the cardiovascular system, immune system, circulatory system, reproductive system, nervous system, and even joints.

To date there are tons of articals and reaserch on Flax seed oil and it’s benefits.  Flax Seed have ben found to benefit Cancer pacients, booldpressure, weight loss, muscle fatige, eczema, asthma and this goes on and on.

Let us know if you have trie and your story  in comment section.

Something to consider-

The manufacturing process used to produce flaxseed oil (and all other delicate, highly unsaturated oils, including fish oils) is very important to their quality and health benefits.  There are three ways to get flax oil from flaxseeds. Seeds can be soaked in a chemical solvent, but this process damages the oil and leaves toxic residues from the chemical solvent. Air pressure (called supercritical extraction) can be used.  This method appears to safe.  And last, the oil can be pressed out of the seeds using an expeller process.

The expeller pressing is the method to me makes the most cencse. Here is the downside, pressing the oil from the seed requires a lot of force, and a good amount of heat can be generated during the expelling process and cause damage.  For now, this unknown.  Don’t let “cold pressed” on a flax oil label fool you.  This just means that no additional source for heating was used.  Naturally occurring  high temperatures were still reached during the extraction process.

Some companies take steps to prevent this heat build-up. Your best bet would be to contact the manufacturer of the flax seed oil product of interest and inquire about the methods that this manufacturer used in the oil’s production.

Multiple sources were used for research for this article including personal experience.  Thanks for reading it!

In my last post I wrote about why you should consider network marketing.

Now lets look at how to find the right network marketing company.  Most of us have GAPS in our lives.  On a scale from 1 to 10 (10 being high) rate the importance of your financial health/security, your physical health, and the importance of having the time to do the things you want to do.  Now on the same scale, rate yourself in these same areas today.  If you found that you too have GAPS in these areas, then you need to find a way to fill the GAPS.  For me the answer was Isagenix.

According to National Geographic, the #1 cause of illness, disease and obesity is toxicity.  Isagenix is known as the World Leader in Nutritional Cleansing.  Their formulator, John Anderson is known in the industry as the “mineral man”.  He created over 2,200 different products for over 600 different companies but he came out of retirement and saved his best work for Isagenix.  John created a no comparmise total body cleasning system which cleanses and replinishes the body offering profound results. If it wasn’t for the Isagenix Cleansing & Fat Burning Systems, I would be part of the statistic mentioned above.

Isagenix International was established over 7 years ago.  Along with John Anderson, Jim and Kathy Coover came out of retirement to form the company.  The Coovers bring over 60 years of experience in the industry to the table.  Isagenix is as well managed and capitalized company.  The company is expected to reach 1 billion dollars in sales this year and has created 37 millionaires since their existence.  Best selling authors Dr. John Gray, Jack Canfield and Jay Williams all endorse the company.  In addition, over 15% of the company’s Associates are made up of healthcare professionals.

It is so easy to get started with Isagenix.  For a little as $19 a year plus the cost of your products you can start your own business.  Isagenix has a team building income plan made up of 2 teams.  Once you personally sponsor 2 people (1 on your left & 1 on your right) you qualify as a Consultant and get paid on your entire organization.  The volume in your group is calculated daily and pays you weekly.  You also get paid introductory product bonuses and you can qualify for a 10% matching team executive bonus as well as a lot of other great incentives including healthcare benefits.  As a member, you get your own replicated website and Isagenix has the best cutting edge business building tools (CD’s, DVD’s, brochures, webinars, conference calls, etc.) in the industry to help launch your business.

A little over 3 years ago I was introduced to Isagenix.  I experienced life changing results on their products and with no previous network marketing experience I began to fill all the GAPS in my life.  My success story is at http://www.cleansebenefits.com

The timing is perfect.

Everywhere you go there’s a new juice on the market.

Even popular beverages you can buy at the supermarket are adding ingredients to try and make their drinks healthier.  Some of these products likely have ingredients that are good for you, especially those juices that contain antioxidant rich berries like pomegranate, acai, and goji.

With so many choices, what do you do?  How do you know if you and your body are getting the most bang for your buck?

For me the answer is clear.

I choose the Isagenix Cleanse for Life drink because it has a unique blend or ingredients that supports the body’s cleansing process while nourishing it with essential nutrients.

Here’s how Cleanse for Life supports my overall health:

• Promotes antioxidant support
• Helps detoxify the body
• May support vitamin absorption
• Clinically proven to help with weight loss
• Supports liver health
• Helps balance immune system
• Supports heart health
• Helps protect body from toxins in the environment
• Helps improve performance under stress

It totally changed my life!

Julie posted a challenge with her Facebook group, “Julie’s Healthy Cleanse Team !!” and it came just in time.  I have been in a slump lately and this is just what I need.  I’m not sure what my problem has been, but I just have not been into it much.

Because it’s the work that I do and the women who I get to work with that enrich my life and give me the ability to live joyfully and feel fabulous. We should all be accepting of kind words. How many times has someone paid you a compliment only for you to refuse or dismiss it? It’s like refusing a gift. Trust that the person who has just told you “You look beautiful”, “You have a great smile”, “You’re brilliant” knows what they’re talking about. Accept it and say “thank you” you deserve it and they deserve the reward of knowing you accept and appreciate their gift. This goes both ways. If you notice someone has a nice smile or a great presence about them, their kindness or whatever it may be – let them know – pay it forward. Practice this exercise everyday and you’ll feel fabulous!

What I am asking is what is your motivational “preference” How are you fundamentally motivated? When it’s time to make a decision or take action what get’s you there? Do you make decisions internally or do you need to check in with others and see what they think? There is no right or wrong, but it can be extremely helpful to know what you need to take the next step! Just for fun – Daisy is thinking about starting her own Doggy Day Care and she loves dogs and couldn’t think of a better way to spend her time – she is inundated with ideas, concerns, concepts and overwhelmed. Now if she were a client I would ask her a series of questions and one would be “When you have made big decisions in the past have you made them on your own or did you check in with other people like your husband, sister, mentor, etc. before making the decision?” It could be that she is externally motivated and just needs to talk about her Doggy Day Care with her support system to gain clarity around her decision and take action. If she is internally motivated we would work on quieting down all the other popular opinions and discover what Daisy truly wants. Make sense? So are you Internal or External in your motivational preference? Next time you are making a decision pay attention! You may just surprise yourself and make the process a whole lot easier.

Ninety-two percent of the world’s population is sales resistant. They don’t like to be sold. They don’t like to sell. How about YOU? Do YOU like to be sold? You walk into the shoe store and some sales clerk comes up, trying to sell you, shove you, get you to buy some shoe that’s on sale.

No, No, NO!!! You Want To Buy What YOU Want! The size, the color, the style – it has to be what YOU want. When you go to buy an automobile, the first thing they want to know is, “How much can you afford?” That’s all they want to ask, “What can you afford?” And you’re thinking, “Get away from me. I buy what I want to buy. Leave me alone!” People are sales resistant. If you fight that, if you try to sell them, you will ALWAYS struggle in network marketing.

You have to learn to listen.

Again, 92% of the world’s population is sales resistant. That is an overwhelming number, if you’re out there trying to sell them! You have spent your entire life recommending and promoting things to people. Books, movies, restaurants, websites, recipes, stores, schools, parks, experts, – The list goes on and on.

Now all of a sudden in network marketing, some idiot tells you to make a list of your friends and family, call them up, let’s beat ëem up and SELL them! This upline guru leader wants to turn you into that pushy, aggressive salesperson that nobody likes. can you see why it doesn’t work?

Let’s Try It The OTHER Way – Listening! When you listen, you will quickly learn the Color personality of your prospect. This allows you to build know, like, & trust, and you can consistently build your business, day by day by day.

And as you teach your people to listen for the Color personality of their prospects, all of a sudden THEY aren’t in that sales mode. Instead, they’re in the mode of trying to figure out, “What can I do to help this person?” As you find out what Color they are, you find out their personality, and their hot buttons. Why is that so important? Because not everyone wears the same size shoe. When you actually listen and spot which of the 4 personality types they are, you have the ability to communicate directly with that person on the basis of THEIR wants and needs. That makes all the difference in the world.

The Alternative?

So many network marketing companies and gurus today send prospects to a splash page with a bunch of blinking, spinning lights and flashy this and that, smiley faces and all that stuff.

But here’s the problem. The Yellow and the Green personalities make up 70% of the population. And if you send Yellows & Greens to a website with blinking lights and spinning this and that, and something bouncing across the page – or talking about money, money, money, money, money, money – 70% of your prospects are gone. They will stay there for 2 or 3 seconds, maybe 5 seconds, and then they are gone. Why? Because it looks hokey to them. You are trying sell them, you are trying to slam them, jam them, convince them that you can build something and make $10,000 a minute in 3 days. See?

Not everybody wears same size shoe. You have to have presentations tailored to each one of the Colors. A Different Email For Each Personality Wow, what a concept, what a concept! When you send your prospects an email, you better be sending them an email that hits their hot buttons. With my team, we have spent a lot of time on this.

We wrote a Yellow, a Blue, a Green, and a Red email. And I highly recommend when you write these emails for your team, for your company, for your opportunity, write your Green email first.

Why? Because Greens want ALL the data, every last bit of it. The other Colors don’t.  So now you can just take away from the Green email to do the others. The Blue – if you send a Green email to a Blue, and they see 4 pages of stuff – they are GONE! They would want nothing to be do with it. Why? Because your Blue will think, “My gosh, I gotta know all this stuff? No way! I’m outta here!” But the Green wants that information. They want all the data. And you don’t sell a Green. You don’t come after the Green and sell them, push them, call them back again and again and shove them and push them.

You let them make up their own mind at their own speed. Greens will sell themselves. Like Yellows & Blues, the way you move a Green is by listening to them. If you sell them or attempt to sell them, try to close them, you will lose every time. They will block your phone number. They will absolutely not want any thing to do with you. End of story.

The key to success in this business is to listen to your people. They will love you for it – and you’ll have a lot more of them!

I saw a comment from a successful internet marketer this week that I think is very important to consistently remind yourself of.

Almost everybody we talk to about network marketing is an employee.  They come from an employee mindset. Very few are actually business owners.

The employee mindset is: “OK. I really want to be successful on my own. I don’t want to have a boss. I want to make more money. What do I do?”

The employee mindset is NOT: “OK. I’m going to work this out for myself and come up with my own business plan.”

And the point this guy was making is the most important word when you are talking to a prospect is “system.”

Let me repeat that. Heck, let me SCREAM that.

THE MOST IMPORTANT WORD WHEN YOU ARE TALKING TO A PROSPECT IS:

SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM!

You’ve got to give them a step-by-step system. They have to see a system that can work for them. You have to show them how it has worked for others, and you have to show them, step-by-step, exactly what they will do with it.

But it’s more than just that. Your prospect not only has the opportunity to use a system that is tested and proven to work, but they also have the opportunity to talk to their prospects about that tested proven system – which every prospect needs and wants. It’s really important. That is exactly what this guy is talking about.

You need to hammer prospects about the system. I mean, REALLY hammer them on this. Most prospects think, “Oh, this company has a great product. That’s what I need.” Or, “Oh, I’m personally sponsored by the heavy hitter. That’s what I need.” Or, “It’s been proven that this compensation plan pays out 80%, and over 90% of the people who use it are successful.”

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!

Most prospects need to use the Success In 10 Steps ebok to have success, but some won’t. Everybody knows that a new person needs a tested, proven system to start with. If you can find a better, tested proven system, fine.

We’ve used this one for 4 years, and it constantly produces the targeted leads we want.

That’s what those with the “employee mindset” need more than anything – good prospects to talk to. Just getting a few really targeted prospects a week can change their lives.

System? Yes. Use it.
And talk to your prospects about it. Believe me, they know they need it.

I was just reading one of my favorite online marketing related blogs, the SEOMoz Blog.  Rand Fishkin posted a new article there titled The New Era of Inbound Marketing

The image struck a chord with me because I had been speaking with some people earlier in the day who have had a lot of success with offline marketing.  I was thinking “How can I show them how online marketing is really where they should be in a way that will be convincing?”  This graph from Rand’s post takes care of that:

So all of the traditional marketing methods are expected to decrease in effectiveness while most of the “new” or “online” methods, such as Facebook, blogs (like this one!), YouTube, Twitter, email marketing, mobile marketing, etc. are expected to increase.

So, the point is, if you’ve had success with newspaper ads or Yellow pages then you will have much more success online – you’ll get more bang for your buck and you’ll probably be able to TRACK the effectiveness a lot more.  The issue is that a lot of the new methods are much more complex then just buying an ad in a newspaper.  They usually involve more technical know how and allow you more room for error.  That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get started with them, but you should start doing your homework and/or find someone to partner with who knows what they’re doing with online marketing and get out there and profit online!

If we are going to avoid the dreaded flu bug from biting us where it hurts then we must take control of our health.  We’re not talking about rocket science and these are not secrets in any stretch of the imagination.  Most of us heard these pearls of wisdom from our mothers who tried to beat it into us. 

1.  Rest.  Simply put, the body cannot remain healthy if we do not give it a chance to rejuvenate.  If you wear out the batteries and forget to recharge them they will fail you eventually.  If we don’t get enough rest our bodies are weakened, fatigued, and sluggish.  No secret here.  But we are not rewarded in this country for resting.  We are rewarded and complimented for pushing our bodies to the limit and working longer and longer.  Work on getting 6-8 hours of sleep each night so that you will be around to finish your life’s journey.  Think marathon; not sprint.

2. Water.  Bottom line: most are de-hydrated.  Drinking water has been replaced by sodas, tea, coffee, milk, and various juices that have been tainted with sugar and chemical preservatives.  These beverages actually de-hydrate the body.  De-hydration is the equivalent of driving your car with little or no oil – won’t go for long without burning up the engine.  The body is no different.  A great percentage of the body is made up of water and when we are de-hydrated our organs cannot function properly.  Try it: drink water instead of the other beverages and experience the difference.  Two tips. The amount of water to drink each day is half of your body weight in ounces.  In other words, divide your weight by 2 and drink that many ounces.  Second tip; Wean yourself off of caffeine instead of going cold turkey.  Your body will thank you and you will rejoice in not having to experience an incredible headache.

3. Exercise.  We (USA) have become a sedentary society.  Our ancestors worked the farms and fields everyday getting plenty of exercise.  We tend to sit behind desks and in front of computers.  Our muscles atrophy and weaken and this sets us up for joint and muscle fatigue.  Cardio-vascular and weight training are necessary today in order to stay healthy.  Go for a walk 3 times a week.  Get on a treadmill or exercise bike.  Join a gym and pump a little iron.  Your body will thank you.  A further benefit of exercise is that is helps reduce the stress levels that are built up during the day.  Breathing is one of the only ways to reduce stress and activate the lymphatic system.  Get an exercise bike and put in front of the TV so that you can work out while watching the mind numbing shows.

4. Nutrition.  This is the biggie.  If we “are what we eat” then you would have to say we have become “junk.”  The nutritional habits of Americans are rather pitiful.  We are loading up our bodies with high calorie junk food.  The nutritional value of much of what we eat is nill.  We are getting bigger and bigger on a cotton candy diet.  This way of eating is severely clogging our bodies ability to function as it was intended.  It is like putting oatmeal in the gas tanks of our cars and wondering why the “dumb thing” keeps breaking down.  We were not made to live off of sodas, chili cheeseburgers, ding dongs, pizza, ice cream, and tea.  Not only is that severely clogging our systems but it is causing our bodies to become acidic.  The ph level gets completely out of whack and that sets us up for disease and illness.  Health is an inside- out job and what we put “in” our bodies determines the output.  Junk food leads to fatigue, stress, irritability, unwanted pounds, sleepless nights, and the list could go on and on.  Our poor nutritional habits may be one of the leading causes of our immune system’s inability to fight off sickness and disease.

A few years ago I made the switch.  No more.  I was able to turn my health and my life around and it feels terrific.  Give your body a fighting chance.  Give your immune system a fighting chance or the flu bug may just land on you.

It’s been a while since I updated my blog so I thought I better get in here! We got news that we’re going to be grand parents a second time next May! We already have a beautiful little grand daughter and we’re hoping she gets a brother but as long as the baby is healthy we’ll take what ever we get!

So this blog is supposed to be a help to Network Marketers and I have heard many say they do like the content so I am glad. Thanks for your emails and comments. I hope I am able to help as many struggling Marketers as possible.

We ALL know we are not going to get any useful help from our upline or Guru leaders. Thats a real shame that these people having success are not willing to slow down long enough to help the people that are new to Networking and spread the wealth around. I guess thats where my Mentor Michale gets it when he says so many companies are run by greed and ego. Its as clear as water that most are that way.

So its our goal to help you if you’re one of the unlucky ones and most people are.  In today’s market you cannot build a long-term successful MLM business by selling the opportunity. Even if you are a superstar salesperson, the fact is – over 90% of everyone else is not. They hate sales. And they will not be able to sell the opportunity no matter how much sales training and “RAH! RAH!” courses you may give them so they will disappear.

Our ebook “Success In 10 Steps” solves that problem. When you advertise the ebook your target “frustrated MLMers” market will download it. Many will see themselves and their own story in the book, and they will want to talk about it.

It’s easy to build relationships with the people who identify with this book. No selling is necessary. As you build relationships with people you build your network.  Bring value into their lives, and some of them will want to work with you. Then just tell them their options & let them decide.

To build your own big income in M-L-M, the people you sponsor will need a constant stream of hot pr0spects. I can help you do that for them, and for yourself. Grab a copy of our ebook and see what its all about.

To Your Success,

Getting back on track is so hard right now. Between stuff for the school and starting the FlyLady plan, should I be worrying about me right now?

I took some time off.  It’s hard for me to stay on the shake and cleanse schedule when my husband is home and he was on vacation last week, and I have been so busy with other things that I really haven’t put myself at the top of the priority list.  So I guess I kinda took it easy the past couple weeks.  Now that things are slowing down again and we can get back into our routine I am hoping that I can get back on track with the shake and cleanse schedule!

Here’s one for you!
1/3 c pumpkin (I used canned pumpkin) 1/4-1/2 tsp. cinnamon 6-8 oz water 2 scoops Isagenix Vanilla Isalean Shake and Ice… blend Wa-la… Pumpkin Shake! Yum!! Have a glorious day.

If you can start the day without caffeine,

If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,

If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,

If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,

If you can take criticism and blame without resentment ,

If you can conquer tension without medical help,
