<description><![CDATA[My Fellow Americans (I&#8217;ve always wanted to say that), Do you feel guilty that you can’t spend ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://doubleapenny.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/lfi_logo_173x75.gif"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8" title="LFI_logo_173x75" src="http://doubleapenny.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/lfi_logo_173x75.gif" alt="" width="173" height="75" /></a></p>
<p>My Fellow Americans (I&#8217;ve always wanted to say that),</p>
<p>Do you feel guilty that you can’t spend enough time with your family?  Are you struggling paycheck to paycheck?  Are you sick and tired of being told WHEN to be at work and WHEN to leave?  Are you sad that you&#8217;re not able to see your kid&#8217;s first &#8220;up at bat&#8221; because you can&#8217;t get to the ball field until the 5th inning, missing their first steps or words? </p>
<p>What are you doing in the current economic conditions to plan for your future?  Do you seriously think that we will have a “nest egg” when we retire?</p>
<p>DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE LIVING THE SAME DAY, OVER AND OVER, AND NEVER GETTING ANYWHERE?</p>
<p>Seriously!  I know, I felt this way, do you?</p>
<p>There is a solution out there that is not a; scam, pyramid scheme, “Too good to be true” story that your buddy told you about.  It is a legitimate business model that can make one wealthy.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Life Force International (LFI)</span></strong>;</p>
<p>1)       25 year old company that has been in the business of making tens of thousands of people healthier and wealthier. </p>
<p>2)      LFI has NO DEBT on their books, everything is paid in cash. </p>
<p>3)      There is NO &#8220;package&#8221; one has to buy to get in the door as a business partner, it is free. </p>
<p>4)      You carry NO inventory.</p>
<p>5)      LFI pays 60% out to the distributors (highest payout in the industry-AUDITED)</p>
<p>6)      Member of the Direct Sellers Association (3<sup>rd</sup> party policing entity over MLM companies) (<a href="http://www.dsa.org/">www.dsa.org</a>)</p>
<p>7)      In the Wellness Industry (One of the most explosive markets out there)</p>
<p>8)      Has CONSUMABLE projects which increases ones’ residual income</p>
<p>9)      Pays to infinite levels (40% on 2<sup>nd</sup> level!)</p>
<p>10)  No quotas</p>
<p>11)  Highest grade with Better Business Bureau</p>
<p>12)  Free training</p>
<p>13)  The Bell Curve of income distribution with this company averages to $300-$5,000 per month meaning that the majority of the company’s population is in the “middle income” range (FYI-most MLM companies are a “3<sup>rd</sup> World Country” with FEW making good money and MANY making very little)</p>
<p>14)  Did not enter the MLM industry until recently, therefore still a “secret” in the Network Marketing world</p>
<p>Network Marketing or Multi-Level Marketing is a LEGAL and very intelligent business model for some products.  In 1979, the Supreme Court deemed Network Marketing a “Viable Business Model”.  The products that are unique and that have a higher price point because of the quality of the product and the lack of “copy cats” enable the company to pay out top dollar to its distributors.  These are the best products to represent the Network Marketing model. </p>
<p>The Network Marketing model gives several benefits to the company;</p>
<p>1)      Allows the company to pay for its advertising AFTER the product has been sold.  Therefore, there are no wasted advertising dollars.  At any one time, the company knows exactly what its advertising budget is.</p>
<p>2)      The saved cash can be invested in other areas of the company such as Research &#38; Development to enhance the product line.</p>
<p>3)      The “Time Value of Money” principle states that a dollar is worth more in my pocket today than in yours.  For example; a person puts in an order for one of the products.  That cash goes directly to the company first.  The company sits on that cash for 2 weeks, then pays the distributor their share.  Those two weeks of the company having the full amount of money allows them to generate interest on the funds, hence “Time Value of Money”.</p>
<p>4)      The largest cost savings is realized in the fact that the company does not have to pay payroll taxes/benefits/space/HR/etc on all of its “sales people”.</p>
<p>As you can see, there are several tangible benefits that an MLM company enjoys.  BUT WHAT ABOUT US?</p>
<p>1)      Is the ONLY financial vehicle that allows someone, that does not have a large amount of capital, to “buy into” an existing business.</p>
<p>2)      There is NO cap on the amount of income one can make.</p>
<p>3)      Gives one the power of their own work schedule and where he/she works.</p>
<p>4)      Generates a large amount of liked minded people working together towards one goal.</p>
<p>5)      In order for one to succeed, one has to help those they bring in.  In the RATE RACE world, this is completely opposite.  It is the same concept as “Pay it forward”.</p>
<p>6)      This is one that in not mentioned enough-TAX SAVINGS.  The U.S. Government wants us to build our own businesses because it creates individual wealth (more money for them on a large scale).  The tax incentives and deductions are tremendous for those that own their own business (1099 Income).</p>
<p>7)      Last but certainly not least-Creates a sense of accomplishment, especially in this company.  One is able to help people with their most important aspect of one’s’ life; HEALTH.  Secondly; the ability to help someone become financially free.  Both are very satisfying.</p>
<p>Robert Kiyosaki speaks of the “Cash Flow Quadrants”.  According to him, there are four methods by which someone generates income; 1) Employed, 2) Small Business Owner, 3) Corporation, Franchise, Network Marketing owner, and 4) Investor.  Most of us are STUCK in 1 and 2 where the Government takes a much larger percentage of our income in taxes.  The reason we stay in these quadrants are mainly derived from fear; fear that I won’t have health benefits, fear that I won’t have a constant paycheck, fear that SOMEONE won’t take care of me.  WAKE UP, NO ONE IS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF YOU!  These companies have ONE THING on their minds; TO MAKE A PROFIT HOW EVER THEY CAN.  This means YOU are REPLACEABLE!  Mr. Kiyosaki’s way to wealth is through quadrants 3 and 4 and he said if he “Had to do it all over again, it would have been through Network Marketing!”.  The key is to build a residual income which pours over into the investment quadrant to generate more residual income.  In my mind, it’s a matter of tipping the scales from “Working for your money to Money working for you”.  This can be done, has been done, and will continue to be done again and again and again by people just like you and me.  And, by the way, it is just as easy, with the same cost, to buy individual health insurance, so do not let that hold you back.</p>
<p>Five years ago, I looked at my friend and said, “There is NO WAY IN HELL that I am going to get into a ‘Pyramid Scheme’”.  I WAS uneducated and closed minded when he approached me with this business model.  I was open to the health benefits of the product, but would not go any further.  You can read “My Testimonial” on one of the attachments to this website to see how the product affected me.  After a couple of weeks into taking the flagship product Body Balance, I introduced it to my neighbor whom was battling alcoholism at the time, with no thoughts of generating income.  I just wanted to help him.  Well, 2 weeks later I received a check in the mail for $65 and thought, “Hmmm, maybe I should just take a look at the presentation”.  I did and a light bulb went off in my head that said, “THIS IS YOUR TICKET OUT OF THE RAT RACE”.  You see, I was in a 17 year career in International Accounting, traveling around the world and spending countless hours counting beans for someone else.  I knew that, in order to be a good dad (3 children in the next 11 months) and husband, I could not continue killing myself the way I was.  I started investing about 5 hours per week consistently, no more, no less and, long story short, was able to WALK AWAY from my accounting career at the age of 37 in October of 2008.  I now enjoy a hefty residual income that allows me to stay home with my family and not have to worry about how the mortgage is going to be paid the next month.  I am very blessed that I found this and want others to experience the same.  And now, I have had luxury of seeing my business partners flourish in front of me and in the last several months, mainly due to the economy, one after the other has fled TO my business organization.  People are looking for another stream of income.</p>
<p>The point I am making is that YOU TOO can have this.  You DO NOT need a ton of time to get the ball rolling.  You DO NOT have to have a large sum of money to get going.  ALL YOU NEED is a burning desire to stop having to live the way you are living, that is it.  Dream and then dream into reality. </p>
<p>Everyone from me to the top is retired on this model and is just waiting to help you.  You DO NOT have to do this yourself, in fact, we INSIST that you use us!</p>
<p>Five to ten years from now, Network Marketing will become commonplace in our society.  DO NOT wait until that time to get in.  DO IT NOW!  Both Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki have commented that Network Marketing is the next big “Gold Rush” in our culture.  These two men’s opinions are not just everyday opinions, but are EXPERTS in the field of wealth generation.</p>
<p>After reading this you think, “No way in heck am I doing this”, just think of my paragraph above.  I was in your shoes.  If you think, “Hmmm, interesting” or if you don’t think at all, take a look at <a href="http://www.lifeforcerewards.com/">www.lifeforcerewards.com</a> and listen with an open mind for 25 minutes.  If you are still not convinced, it’s ok, it’s not the right time for you and you only “wasted” 25 minutes, but if you want to learn more, please, by all means, contact me.</p>
<p>My main goal here is to help as many people as possible.  You may not believe it now, but ride on my back for awhile until that belief level is there and you will find yourself with a passion you have never had before.</p>
<p>God bless and good luck in all your endeavors!</p>

<description><![CDATA[Here’s what Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki have to say about Network Marketing: Donald Trump said:]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Here’s what Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki have to say about Network Marketing:</p>
<p>Donald Trump said: “Years ago, many people were opposed to a business model known as franchising. Many people questioned the legitimacy of franchising. Today, everyone in the world knows about McDonalds. Network Marketing, being a new business model, is experiencing the same opposition franchising experienced years ago. Network marketing has proven itself to be a viable and rewarding source of income, and the challenges could be just right for you.</p>
<p>There have been some remarkable examples of success, and those successes have been earned through diligence, enthusiasm and the right product combined with timing. As with so many issues, there are tangibles and intangibles involved, but success is not a total mystery, and that applies to network marketing, as well.”</p>
<p>Donald Trump on Letterman: Dave; “What if you had to start all over again, what would you do?” Donald; “If I had to do it all over again I would’ve started building a Network Marketing business.” audience laughed at him. Donald’s reply; “That’s why I’m sitting up here and you’re sitting down there.”</p>
<p>Robert Kiyosaki said: “Building a B-quadrant business is not an easy task. So you need to ask yourself, “Do I have what it takes? Am I willing to go beyond my comfort zones? Am I willing to be led and willing to learn to lead? Is there a very rich person inside me, ready to come out?” If the answer is yes, start looking for a network marketing business that has a great training program-one that emphasizes education and personal growth.”</p>
<p>“I’m often asked if network-marketing is a pyramid scheme. My reply is that corporations are really pyramid schemes. A corporation has only one person at the top, generally the CEO, and everyone else below”</p>
<p>“A true network-marketing business is the exact opposite of a traditional business model. A network-marketing business is designed to bring you up to the top, not keep you down at the bottom. A true network-marketing business does not succeed unless it brings people up to the top.”</p>
<p>So if people question you and wonder “why on earth did you join a network-marketing company?” Don’t get angry and don’t feel bad it’s just their ignorance coming out. Chances are they’ve never tried it for themselves and if they did obviously they were doing it incorrectly or they did nothing with it at all.</p>
<p>If everybody truly understood how Network Marketing works. EVERYBODY would want to be a Network Marketer.</p>
<p>Keep that in mind when you feel discouraged from hearing other people’s comments and opinions. Most people’s information and advice comes from other poor people who are not successful and who have never tried Network Marketing.</p>
<p>A great quote from Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad; “The worst advice is free advice often from relatives or other poor people.”</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:right;"><strong>&#8230; of the East !!!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Da das mit dem Geld ja immer so eine Sache ist, muss man(n) einfach nach zusätzlichen Einkommensquellen Ausschaus halten. Schnell überlegt… Was könnt da denn in Frage kommen?</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Pizza ausfahren?</strong> Ne, die würde ja niemals ankommen <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Call Center Agent?</strong> Ne, I do not unterstand… <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Glücksspiel?</strong> Jiiihaaaa… <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Also schnell abgecheckt wo das hier in der Gegend möglich ist und nichts wie hin… Geendet sind wir dann im <em><strong>„Las Vegas des Ostens“</strong></em> <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  auch genannt, <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_City_%28New_Jersey%29" target="_blank">Atlantic City!</a> Welches ca. eine Stunde Südöstlich von Philadelphia und direkt am Atlantischen Ozean liegt. Nach knapp 2 Stunden war ich also da, bereit den Jackpot zu knacken und im Geld wieder nach Hause zu schwimmen…<em> SO der Plan!</em> <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Aufm Weg zum Stand ging es gleich mitten durch eines von Donald Trumps Gebäuden, dem…</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://nickgoesus.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cimg7084.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1070" title="CIMG7084" src="http://nickgoesus.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cimg7084.jpg" alt="" width="408" height="306" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Hier angekommen, bot sich schon ein wirklich sehr schönes Bild, der Ozean vor uns…</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><a href="http://nickgoesus.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cimg7099.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1063" title="CIMG7099" src="http://nickgoesus.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cimg7099.jpg" alt="" width="408" height="306" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">… die Casinos hinter uns…</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><a href="http://nickgoesus.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cimg7089.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1064" title="CIMG7089" src="http://nickgoesus.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cimg7089.jpg" alt="" width="408" height="306" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Nach einem kleinen Spaziergang direkt am Meer mussten auch mal nen paar experimentelle Bilder her&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://nickgoesus.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img_6648.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1071" title="IMG_6648" src="http://nickgoesus.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img_6648.jpg" alt="" width="408" height="544" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Nun ging es den Ozeanwalk wieder zurück, durch Hunger getriben, mit einem kleinen Stopp in einem sau geilen Restaurant: <strong>Rainforest Cafe </strong>!!! Eine klasse Atmosphäre mit richtig gutem und vor allem viel essen, bei dem man neune Freunde findet&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://nickgoesus.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img_6680.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1072" title="IMG_6680" src="http://nickgoesus.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img_6680.jpg" alt="" width="408" height="544" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Jetzt musste der Plan weiterverfolgt werden, die Millionen schon (fast) sicher in der Tasche, ging es also in die Casinos. Vom <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_Taj_Mahal" target="_blank">Taj Mahal (gehört Donald Trump, wem sonst?:D)</a> ging es in Caesars und Anschließend ins Tropicana. Ich mein, Ihr seht ja hätt ich gewonnen würd ich hier sicher nix mehr schreiben <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Sagen wir mal so, Plan wurde einfach nur „vertagt“ <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  und nicht fallengelassen!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Aber ganz zum Schluss muss ich euch einfach noch etwas zeigen: <strong>Was könnte hier nicht stimmen? <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">1&#8230;</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>2&#8230;</strong></p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>I&#8217;m waiting for any feedback and response !!!</strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Is there anyone quite like Sarah Palin online?</p>
<p>At the moment, no &#8212; not Michael Jackson, not Manny Pacquiao, not even President Obama. According to Google Insights for Search, which tracks what the online masses are searching for within specific times and regions, the former Alaska governor-turned vice presidential nominee-turned best-selling author far surpasses Obama when it comes to Google searches. Online interest in all things Palin has surged in the past few days. Of course, the more TV appearances she makes promoting her book &#8220;Going Rogue&#8221; &#8212; first with Oprah Winfrey, then with FOX&#8217;s Sean Hannity and a multi-part series with ABC News &#8212; the bigger draw she becomes online, in blogs (right and left), on YouTube (1,320 Palin-oriented videos have been uploaded since last Thursday) and other social networking sites. Online popularity can be defined in various ways. Sheer ubiquity is one.</p>
<p>&#8220;Searches for Sarah Palin have surged to their highest level since the election &#8212; even further than when she resigned as Governor of Alaska,&#8221; Google spokesman Galen Panger told HuffPostTech. &#8220;While search interest now still pales in comparison with when she was announced as John McCain&#8217;s pick for VP, at the moment she&#8217;s all the rage&#8211;and right now people are searching for her more than President Obama.&#8221;</p>
<p>The top 10 search terms in the past 30 days on Sarah Palin are in the image below.</p>
<p>Not coincidentally, this has been a big week for Palin&#8217;s presence on socnets like Facebook and Twitter. On Tuesday afternoon, Palin reached a crucial Facebook mark &#8212; attracting 1 million fans to her official page. (It must be noted that not all fans are actual fans but more voyeurs if not downright anti-Palin.) &#8220;I would like to thank everybody who has signed up to follow this Facebook page,&#8221; Palin (or somebody working for Palin) wrote on her page. &#8220;We are now over one million strong! Our voices have been heard loud and clear on issues ranging from energy to health care. Your support has made this unfiltered communication medium a success.&#8221; Yesterday, Palin created a new Twitter account; @SarahPalinUSA has been adding hundreds of new followers by the hour. As of 7 p.m. EST Thursday, 20 hours after her first tweet, her account lists 24,031 followers. For a political figure who&#8217;s been consistent in her attack of the mainstream media, her use of what she calls an &#8220;unfiltered communication medium&#8221; is key. And downright necessary. Colin Delaney of EPolitics.com said that Palin&#8217;s online strategy is &#8220;classic insurgent jujitsu.&#8221; He continued, &#8220;The more the &#8220;media elites&#8221; criticize her, the more credibility she gets with her followers. And since the Internet lets her do an end-run on mainstream media filters and speak directly to the people, she can get her message out unfettered.&#8221; Adam Brickley, the young college student and early Palin supporter who created the Draft Palin for Vice President blog long before the 45-year-old mother of five became a household name, wrote in an e-mail to HuffPostTech that &#8220;social media will continue to be the linchpin of the Palin operation moving forward.&#8221; Added Brickley: &#8220;She has over a million followers and she&#8217;s the only person that I know of who regularly has their Facebook postings treated by the media as if they were columns in major publications. That&#8217;s really a breakthrough not just for Palin, but for Facebook as a communication medium.&#8221;</p>
<p>Leading up to the 2008 election, when more than 50 percent of the American electorate went online to get their news, spread information within their own social networks and, most importantly, interact with campaigns, the GOP trailed the Democrats. With some exceptions, the technological gap was wide &#8212; not just in the use of old and new tools (Obama&#8217;s sophisticated use of e-mail and text messaging was miles ahead of the nearest campaign), but in the energy those tools attracted from supporters. But a year after Obama&#8217;s historic win, it&#8217;s clear that the young tech-savvy Turks of the GOP had been keeping score and taking notes. In some ways, the GOP is now experiencing an online renaissance of sorts.</p>
<p>Evidence abound. With the help of the online political firm EngageDC &#8212; headed by Mindy Finn and Patrick Ruffini, both veterans of the Republican National Committee&#8217;s eCampaign department &#8212; Republican Robert McDonnell effectively leveraged social media in his race for Virginia governor. McDonnell&#8217;s campaign spent 7.5 percent of its overall media budget on online advertising. Translation: if you were a Virginia voter, McDonnell ads were almost inescapable online, popping up from site to site, in your computers at work and laptops at home. It&#8217;s not just Republican pols that gotten savvy. Ditto Republican groups. On Tuesday, the same day Palin announced passing the 1-million-Facebook-mark, the conservative think-tank Heritage Foundation crossed the 75,000 mark for Facebook fans. &#8220;While that might be a fraction of what Palin has produced, it&#8217;s significantly more than any other think tank or policy organization,&#8221; Robert Bluey, Heritage&#8217;s director of online strategy, told HuffPostTech. Bluey also pointed to NoEnergyTax.com, which Heritage built using Facebook Connect to mobilize and organize its supporters. As the GOP has learned, technology is all about organizing, mobilizing and, in these hyper-partisan days, getting its message out.</p>
<p>And, right now, the messenger who attracts the most intrigue is Palin, who may run for president in 2012. Memo to her fans and detractors: outside of her native Alaska, interest on Palin is high in the early voting states of New Hampshire and Iowa.</p>
<p>So why is she burning up the Web? </p>

<description><![CDATA[5 Principles Of Success As a new distributor with Polaris Media Group, you have joined a winning tea]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><h2>5 Principles Of Success</h2>
<div id="marketing_body">
<p>As a new distributor with Polaris Media Group, you have joined a winning team that is offering you their experience and insight. The 5 Principles of Success is the time-tested, proven formula for success with the Polaris Media Group Opportunity. This formula came about when John Lavenia, a top leader with Polaris Media Group, connected with and interviewed the existing company leadership. As a new distributor, he wanted to know what they did to produce their results so he could do it too. Out of those conversations about their daily activities the 5 Principles of Success were discovered. By following these principles and applying them as a formula you will be following the exact formula that Polaris Media Group leaders followed to go from just a beginner to a top leader. Applying this formula is your key to success.</p>
<p>This is a simple business plan that anyone can follow. Those who do get amazing results!</p>
<h2>Principle #1: Know Where You Are Going</h2>
<p><strong><em>This principle is the foundation on which all the other principles rely to be effective.</em></strong> Write down your goals on a goal card, carry the goal card with you always and read it throughout the day many times. Visualize/meditate/take quiet time daily to see yourself already in possession of the good you seek, so you actually feel the feelings of already accomplishing it. Sometimes people get caught up in &#8220;trying&#8221; to make a sale. This only happens when a person doesn&#8217;t have a goal they <strong>know</strong> they are going to reach. Your goal may seem lofty at first, but taking time to visualize and meditate on the &#8220;already achievement&#8221; of it will instill in you the belief that you will achieve it. You can use the document &#8220;SMART GOALS&#8221; to assist you in identifying and clearly writing your goals.</p>
<h2>Principle #2: Income Producing Activities</h2>
<p>Prioritize your time so that you spend time each day talking to people about the business and products and putting them through the system to learn more about the opportunity and/or the product line.<strong><em>Consistency is the MOST important thing</em></strong>. You should know how to have a prospecting conversation (Prospecting Script) or product conversation (Product Script) so that you are confident in your conversation. Develop your ability to confidently talk about the business and products so that you could do it in your sleep. Never lose your edge. <strong>It&#8217;s better to work 1 hour a day everyday than to cram everything into your day off if you are still working a job as you build your business</strong>. Income producing activities are prospecting, talking to potential customers about product, follow-up and signing up new distributors and new customers.</p>
<p>Lead generation is also income producing, but that simply feeds the funnel. You must take time to call and/or talk to prospects to generate sales. Organizing your desk, doing &#8220;research&#8221; and &#8220;getting ready to get ready&#8221; will not produce income for you. No amount of intention or desire will get you a result if you don&#8217;t follow through with action; the correct actions! Live this business; talk to people about the business. If you truly believe in your success and the opportunity, you&#8217;ll feel comfortable sharing it. After all, they deserve the opportunity to live this incredible lifestyle as well!</p>
<h2>Principle #3: Be A Student Of Personal Development</h2>
<p>All the top earners are engaged in the Beyond Freedom Evolution curriculum. They read good books. They avoid mass media (TV, newspapers, etc). Choose very carefully what you allow into your mind. Beyond Freedom Evolution is an incredible program that produces real results. Take time everyday with your Beyond Freedom Evolution courses; journaling, doing the exercises and listening to the CD&#8217;s. In addition, fill your mind with the right information. Start a media fast, abstaining from the news, TV, newspapers, radio, etc. Instead, use the time you would normally spend watching TV reading empowering books, listening to PMG Training Calls, using and applying Beyond Freedom Evolution (Departure, Decision, Action, etc). You&#8217;ll be amazed at the evolution you will experience in your attitude and being simply by eliminating negative influences and replacing them with positive, empowering influences.</p>
<h2>Principle #4: Mastermind With Leaders</h2>
<p>Do everything possible to be in the environment of the Top Income Earners. The leaders in PMG are amazingly gracious with their time and experience. You have a great opportunity to connect with these leaders at every Live PMG Event (Foundation Live Event, Sovereignty Live Event, Influence Live Event) as well as on the Live Training Calls. Think about it: where else in the world do you have the opportunity to hang out and learn from self-made millionaires who will share everything they know about creating success? But, it&#8217;s up to you to show up. Stick close to your upline Executive or Presidential Leaders; call them regularly to connect so they know who you are; take full advantage of their knowledge and experience. Nothing will accelerate a person&#8217;s evolution into a Top Earner faster than being around the people and environment where that exists.</p>
<h2>Principle #5: Cultivate The Expectation Of Leadership In Yourself And Others</h2>
<p>Expect success of yourself and others. Put yourself in the position to collect the profit on all products (Beyond Freedom Evolution courses, Foundation Live Event, Sovereignty Live Event, Influence Live Event). Talk to your enroller and up-line leaders to gain understanding of the compensation plan; it is designed to reward leadership and to reward it quickly! You know you are going to win, so act as such. <strong>Be the Leader, Do What Leaders Do, Have the Results!</strong> The Bottom Line is: Since you know you are willing to take the action in Principles #1-4, then you know you are guaranteed the results. You play FULL OUT! Every step that you can take to move yourself in the direction of your goals, you take that step immediately and confidently. <strong>And because you expect success of yourself, because YOU are willing to take the actions that successful people take, you expect success and leadership from those you allow on your team.</strong> Since you are willing to pay the price of success, you expect others to also be willing to pay the price of success. Cultivate an expectation of their leadership.</p>
<p>Join the fastest growing trend in the world.  Call me direct  @ 949 929 1733 and I will get the information in front of you.  Nice to meet you.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Prospecting: Calling the leads who have responded to your ads or talking to people about the product]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><dl>
<dt>Prospecting:</dt>
<dd>Calling the leads who have responded to your ads or talking to people about the products and/or business.</dd>
<dt>Follow-Up:</dt>
<dd>Calling the leads that qualified and were invited to a call. The follow-up may include a three-way call if the lead qualifies for one.</dd>
<dt>Collecting the Check:</dt>
<dd>Signing up new distributors and customers and processing their orders.</dd>
</dl>
<p>As you are learning the ins-and-outs of your new business, it is highly suggested that you take time to look up any words or terms that you are unfamiliar with or that seem confusing. You can go to:</p>
<p><a href="http://dictionary.com/" target="_blank">Dictionary.com</a></p>
<p><a href="http://wikipedia.org/" target="_blank">Wikipedia.org</a></p>
<h3>Step 1: Lead Generation/Marketing</h3>
<dl>
<dt>Sales Lead:</dt>
<dd>A <em>sales lead</em> is the identity of a person or entity potentially interested in purchasing a product or service, and represents the first stage of a sales process. The lead may have a corporation or business associated (a B2B lead) with the person(s). Sales leads come from either marketing lead generation processes such as trade shows, direct marketing, advertising, Internet marketing or from sales person prospecting activities such as cold calling. For a sales lead to qualify as a sales prospect, or equivalently to move a lead from the process step <em>sales lead</em> to the process <em>sales prospect</em>, qualification must be performed and evaluated. Typically this involves identifying by direct interrogation the lead&#8217;s product applicability, availability of funding, and time frame for purchase. Source: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_lead" target="_blank">Wikipedia.org</a></dd>
<dt>Marketing: mar • ket • ing -noun:</dt>
<dd>The act of buying or selling in a market.</dd>
<dd>The total of activities involved in the transfer of goods from the producer or seller to the consumer or buyer, including advertising, shipping, storing, and selling. Source <a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/marketing">Dictionary.com</a></dd>
</dl>
<p>The two most important skills you will develop in your business are <strong>communication</strong> and <strong>marketing</strong>. How you communicate with people will directly affect their willingness and enthusiasm about doing business with you. The more time you dedicate to educating yourself and implementing what you learn, the faster you will become a master prospector/communicator and a master marketer. Learning how to communicate effectively through a variety of media will help you develop a satisfied and motivated team and customer base.</p>
<p>There are tutorials in the Marketing section of NorthStar to help you market the business opportunity and products.</p>
<h3>Step 2: Prospecting</h3>
<p>&#8220;Prospecting&#8221; is the act of communicating with leads, also known as prospects.</p>
<dl>
<dt>A prospect is:</dt>
<dd>A potential customer, client, or purchaser.</dd>
<dd>Candidate deemed likely to succeed.</dd>
</dl>
<p>Review the Polaris Conferencing Schedule for the Live Prospecting Training that is available to all Polaris Distributors.</p>
<p>The best way to become an effective business builder and prospector is to dive right in. You can role-play various prospecting conversations and product conversations with fellow associates and/or your enroller and up-line leaders. The sooner you start calling leads and talking to people about the products, the sooner you&#8217;ll become a master of the conversation and will build your business.</p>
<p>Connect with your Enroller and Up-Line Leaders to practice Prospecting and Product Conversations. They are eager to help you build your team.</p>
<h3>Step 3: Follow-Up</h3>
<p>It has been said that the &#8220;fortune is in the follow-up&#8221;. An essential element of the business is to follow up with your prospects after they have attended the call. The purpose of the follow-up is very simple: to assess how enthusiastic the prospect is about moving forward with the business and/or how excited the customer is about purchasing the products.</p>
<p>If the prospect is motivated and has the intention to move forward, you can conduct a <em>three-way call</em>. The three-way call demonstrates to your prospect that they will have support while building their business and they do not have to spend their time answering questions. You can also use a three-way call to complete a product sale with a customer.</p>
<p>The absolute best thing you can do between prospecting and following-up is to hop on the call you have invited guests to and give a <em>testimonial</em>. Giving testimonials establishes you as a leader to your guests and fellow associates. It also contributes the overall value and energy of the call.</p>
<p>You can obtain a Three-Way Call List with team members who are available to assist you with three-way calls. Ask your up-line leader or Enroller.</p>
<p><strong>One More Step: Welcome Your New Customer/Distributor</strong></p>
<p>Congratulations! You are about to enroll a new team member and/or customer. This is very simple to do.</p>
<p>Send them the appropriate <em>Getting Started</em> e-mail in the NorthStar System. This will give them all the instructions they need. You can also walk them through their enrollment or purchase over the phone, or in person. The Polaris Online Business Manager will track all the sales and ensure you are given accurate credit for your new distributor enrollment and/or sale.</p>
<p>Congratulations&#8230; you are building your business!</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s talk and get you the information in front of you to make an educated decision if this is a good fit for you.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>In today&#8217;s economy there are thousands of people out of work.  Many who are still employed are living in fear of losing their job.  For others it&#8217;s a real challenge just being able to keep up with the increased demands of the job and making do at home.  And then there are those that lost half of their nest egg due to the gluttony on the Street.  </p>
<p> Has there ever been a time when more people have been in need a real solution to financial problems?  </p>
<p> One very successful Entrepreneur, Donald Trump, is betting that today&#8217;s commercial crises is a perfect typhoon of opportunity.  Trump has made a decision to jump in feet first and take a major stake in the internet marketing Industry.  It&#8217;s not uncommon information that Trump has always supported the industry.  On a television appearance when asked what he would do if he were to become absolutely broke overnite he answered, without hesitation, he would find a great MLM company and put all his energy into building a massive residual revenue.  </p>
<p> It&#8217;s risky to do something else.  But if you would like to achieve something outstanding, like Donald Trump has, risk is an element of the game.  And part of the success that Trump has had is perhaps because he takes worked out hazards &#8212; ones that have been studied, looked at from all different angles, and then acted on swiftly once the data is in.  </p>
<p> No other social marketing company has ever entered the market with the kind of&#8217;Celebrity&#8217; the Trump name could generate.  Some of the media noise has claims about television appearances on the major networks and programs like Oprah, Larry King and The View.  None of which , however , have been formally confirmed by the company.  But facts asserted formally by The Trump Network obviously point that Trump will be staking a claim to a major market share in the business.  </p>
<p> Not only is the Trump Network going to market the products just acquired with the already successful 12 year old Ideal Health Company, Donald Trump has already said the formation of 5 separate product divisions and plans to bring other products to market by the time The Trump Network is formally launched in mid-November at their first convention in Miami.  Looks like they are going after major segments of the finest selling baby boomer market.  Talk on the streets is&#8217; The Trump Network will be the biggest most successful network marketing company ever in history within 24 months&#8217; </p>
<p> Many internet marketing&#8217;Heavy Hitters&#8217; have been anonymously joining the company bringing with them thousands of followers.  They suggested a make over of the compensation plan to make it more hiring friendly.  This plan is now arguably one of the most competitive in the bizz, providing great income opportunities both at the front end as well as in great depth on product sales.  </p>
<p> Now the enormous questions.  Will the Trump Network essentially make it so&#8217;The Average Joe&#8217; can be highly successful?  Will the Trump Network change the public opinion of the network marketing industry?  Will people finally see it as a viable response to the industrial troubles of millions of Americans?  How about this&#8230;  Will more billion dollar firms enter into the social marketing arena?  Will it add to the upward push of entrepreneurialism in America?  Could an entire socio-economic paradigm shift in consumer good distribution be resting on the success or failure of one company?  </p>
<p> Donald Trump has proven himself as a brilliant and visionary entrepreneur.  He&#8217;s&#8217;s not in the game to win second place and he does not need the practice in building a company.  He has to understand what&#8217;s at stake and that all business eyes will be on the Trump Network for many months to come.  If he succeeds, the Trump Network could well be Donald Trump&#8217;s lasting bequest to America, if not the planet.  </p>
<p> everyone knows the huge earners in any company are those that get in right at the start.  The official launch in November could mark the beginning of history in the making in the internet promotion industry.  </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Het was feest voor onze Jack Russell Terrorist! Tijdens een kort weekeinde in Drenthe greep onze jachthond-in-pocketformaat de kans: ze &#8217;sneakte&#8217; in de vroege ochtend naar buiten en rende opgewekt het mistige landschap in. Om pas na een geruime tijd bij ons terug te keren met een blik van “ik-wist-niet-dat-jullie-mij-misten” en haar vacht duidelijk vol grijsgekleurde sporen van een ferme duik in een konijnenpijp. De lokale eekhoorntjes en konijntjes zaten ongetwijfeld nog na te bibberen in hun nestjes. Weer terug bij ‘haar’ roedel kroop madam lekker in haar bench met de genoeglijke blik van vrijheid op haar snuit.</p>
<div id="attachment_2624" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 324px"><a href="http://skrivadur.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/doornroosje.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2624" title="Jagen maakt moe..." src="http://skrivadur.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/doornroosje.jpg" alt="Jagen maakt moe..." width="314" height="311" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Jagen maakt moe...</p></div>
<p><strong>Pienter en opgewekt<br />
</strong>Onze Jack Russell is een schat. Ze luistert eigenlijk alleen als het haar uitkomt, ze is erg pienter en opgewekt, superactief, onvermoeibaar, gezellig maar een beetje dominant (zelfs na twee puppycursussen) en ze heeft een lekker koppig karakter, maar we willen haar voor geen goud kwijt. Ons meisje is er eentje van stand: een échte <a title="Naar de Nederlandse Vereniging Jack Russell Terriër." href="http://www.nvjrt.nl/" target="_blank">rashond</a> dus. En precies in de juiste verhouding.</p>
<div id="attachment_2625" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 304px"><a href="http://skrivadur.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/trump.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2625" title="Trump, de oermoeder van de Jack Russells." src="http://skrivadur.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/trump.jpg" alt="Trump, de oermoeder van de Jack Russells." width="294" height="216" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Trump, de oermoeder van de Jack Russells.</p></div>
<p><strong>Universiteit van Oxford<br />
</strong>Heel ver weg stamt ze af van de negentiende eeuwse Trump, de kleine wit-bruine terriër van dominee John – bijgenaamd Jack – Russell. Russell kocht het beestje van een lokale melkboer toen hij aan Blundell’s School en de Universiteit van Oxford studeerde. Het teefje Trump stond aan de basis van een nieuw ras van ‘werkende terriërs’ of ‘jachtterriërs’. Het bleken écht jachthonden in pocketformaat. Niet-agressieve beestjes met een geweldig uithoudingsvermogen en een enorme moed, die uitermate geschikt waren voor de jacht op vossen, otters en ander klein wild.</p>
<div id="attachment_2626" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 236px"><a href="http://skrivadur.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/johnrussell.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2626" title="Dominee John – bijgenaamd Jack – Russell." src="http://skrivadur.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/johnrussell.jpg" alt="Dominee John – bijgenaamd Jack – Russell." width="226" height="361" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Dominee John – bijgenaamd Jack – Russell.</p></div>
<p><strong>Twee variëteiten<br />
</strong>Dominee Russell ontwikkelde met Trump een terriërstam, die paste bij zijn behoefte aan een hond die met de grotere Foxhounds kon meelopen. Hij creëerde hondjes die onder de grond konden gaan om vossen en ander wild te laten &#8217;springen&#8217;. De Foxhounds konden daarna hun slag slaan. Door de fokinspanningen van Russell ontstonden er twee variëteiten: een grotere, meer vierkante hond (de Parson Russell Terriër) en een kleinere, iets langer gebouwde hond (de Jack Russell Terriër).</p>

<p><strong>Roemrucht jachtverleden<br />
</strong>De Jack Russells bleven échte jachthonden tot aan de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Toen zakte de vraag naar kleine en compacte jachthondjes in. Dit zorgde er voor dat er minder Jack Russells kwamen. Tegelijkertijd veranderde de Jack van een jachthond in een gezelschaps- of familiehond. En dat zo’n familiehondje af en toe weer denkt aan het roemruchte jachtverleden van haar voorgangers… Tja, dat gebeurt soms. In Drenthe op een mistige zondagochtend bijvoorbeeld.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><h4>Le réseau social le plus huppé de la planète Web, Asmallworld, victime de trois jeunes maîtres-chanteurs français.</h4>
<p> Les suspects avaient notamment détourné des photos de Leonardo DiCaprio qu&#8217;ils promettaient de restituer moyennant finances. L&#8217;affaire vient d&#8217;être résolue par les policiers de l&#8217;office central de lutte contre la criminalité liée aux technologies de l&#8217;information et de la communication (OCLCTIC). Le 10 octobre, informés par les services d&#8217;Interpol, les enquêteurs ont interpellé un jeune disc jockey français, soupçonné de complicité dans cette tentative de racket au préjudice du site internet américain Asmallworld (ASW). Frédéric, 25 ans, plus connu sous le nom de DJ Battle, a reconnu en garde à vue avoir aidé un ami dans la traduction de messages adressés aux gérants du site visé. Mis en examen par un juge d&#8217;instruction de Nanterre (Hauts-de-Seine), il a été placé sous contrôle judiciaire. «Il a avoué avoir servi de traducteur franco-anglais pour un de ses amis, précise une source proche du dossier. C&#8217;est ce dernier qui est à l&#8217;origine de l&#8217;affaire. La complicité du DJ devait être rémunérée en cadeaux, mais il n&#8217;a pas précisé leur nature.» En septembre dernier, les deux principaux commanditaires avaient été identifiés avant d&#8217;être interpellés au Bouscat (Gironde) et à Sartrouville (Yvelines). Grégoire et Cédric, tous les deux âgés de 20 ans, étaient rapidement passés aux aveux. «Les deux principaux mis en cause, dont l&#8217;un est informaticien tandis que l&#8217;autre se dit gérant d&#8217;une discothèque dans le VIIIe arrondissement parisien, ont expliqué avoir réussi à pénétrer sur ce réseau, explique un proche de l&#8217;affaire. Ils ont récupéré des photos de plusieurs personnalités de la jet-set, du monde du cinéma ou de la chanson avant de réclamer un million de dollars aux gérants de ce site pour ne pas les rendre publiques. L&#8217;échange devait avoir lieu en France.» Ivanka Trump, Edouard Baer, Massimo Gargia parmi les victimes Le top-model américain Ivanka Trump, fille du milliardaire Donald Trump, et l&#8217;acteur Leonardo DiCaprio figuraient au rang des victimes américaines. Côté français, les deux aigrefins étaient parvenus à récupérer des clichés de l&#8217;acteur Edouard Baer et du «jet-setter» Massimo Gargia. «Le gérant de boîte de nuit était lui-même membre de ce site, ajoute la même source. Le matériel informatique ayant servi pour pirater la base de données de ASW a été découvert ainsi que des mails détaillant les différentes phases de leur opération.» Les deux commanditaires ont été écroués quelques semaines, puis libérés et placés sous contrôle judiciaire, tout comme DJ Battle. Les investigations se poursuivent.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=72758156663&#38;ref=search&#38;sid=1390323722.1748743804..1&#38;v=wall#/group.php?gid=158731298650&#38;v=info&#38;ref=ts"><img style="width:161px;float:right;height:139px;cursor:pointer;margin:0 0 10px 10px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vAPF29d2gGw/SsvZTEN4dHI/AAAAAAAAABI/jgVcKj_4y9U/s320/7021_1134082917507_1390323722_30454186_7978996_a.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;font-size:130%;">I don&#8217;t know if you realize who Donald Trump really is. Yes some of you may know him from his many TV shows and appearances on Letterman and you also may know that he is the most successful real estate investor in the world. But did you know that Mr. Trump wrote a book recently with Robert <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Kiyosaki</span>, Why We Want You To Be Rich, well in this book, these two gentlemen already knew this recession was going to happen, and that they wanted everyone on the rich</span><span style="color:#000000;font-size:130%;">-side vice the poor and middle class-side of things before such an event were to happen. Get out of your 401K&#8217;s before the government legitimately steals all your money from you and have it eaten by inflation by the time you are 65 and ready to withdrawal, etc.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;font-size:130%;">Well, good news has finally come! Donald Trump has put together the biggest deal of his lifetime so that we may take part of it and take back our American dream from Wall Street greed, financial industry ineptitude, and the mortgage crisis! </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;font-size:130%;">Mr. Trump was invited to give a speech at Madison Square Garden to a</span><span style="color:#000000;font-size:130%;"> small business for a $1 million check&#8230;that&#8217;s great for him, no big deal. So he gave a speech to the crowd and left, well shortly after this happened, that business called him back! Saying that their work-force has more than doubled, he had rallied the troops and produced amazing amounts of sales! They wanted Donald back to speak again, only this time for $2 million, he then suddenly realized that the power of the Trump name could also benefit in the marketing arena, it worked for everything else, because Trump means business and most people respect the hell out of him like myself.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;font-size:130%;"> </span><span style="color:#000000;font-size:130%;">So, what did he do next? He discovered a company, a great company that is the leader in the biggest industry in the world, and will be for decades to come, the health and wellness industry, a multi-billion dollar industry! The company, Ideal Health, has been established for 12 years now and have no competitors against their products and technology, as far as customized nutrition and metabolic testing for people goes! They customize multi</span><span style="color:#000000;font-size:130%;">-vitamins by performing metabolic tests on private samples from customers, and then tailor the vitamins to EXACTLY what you are lacking such as minerals, micro nutrients, etc. Because of the food we eat today, filled to the brim with too many macro nutrients like simple carbos, caleries, etc. have let the world into a descending spiral of bad health and disease. The multi-vitamins (Custom Essentials), are then mailed to your door every month! Off-the-shelf, &#8220;one size fits all&#8221; vitamins cannot possibly provide anyone with optimal <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">nutrition</span> because they are created for the &#8220;average&#8221; person, whom does NOT exist&#8230;the solution is test-based customization.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-size:130%;">Donald and the president of Ideal Health, Lou <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">DiCaprio</span> signed the company over to Donald himself! Mr. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">DiCaprio</span> and is now President and is still a huge part of this new-named company, and even hold events for us out here in every coast of this country helping people! They were here in San Diego just last night, Oct. 5<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span>, and it was <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">phenomenal</span> and inspiring when Mr. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">DiCaprio</span> told everyone how this opportunity will help thousands of Americans take back our American Dream and live healthier than ever before. </span><br />
<span style="font-size:130%;"><br />

<description><![CDATA[In the latest round of the saga of poor Carrie Prejean,  a sex tape of the former Miss California US]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-83" title="carrie_prejean01" src="http://jim93277.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/carrie_prejean01.jpg" alt="carrie_prejean01" width="167" height="250" />In the latest round of the saga of poor Carrie Prejean,  a sex tape of the former Miss California USA has been introduced into the plot.    As you’ll recall, Miss Prejean became a darling of the right wing after coming in second in the Miss USA contest.  Her response to a question on same-sex marriage, not noted for it’s intelligence or delivery, even if a dearly held belief of Miss Prejean’s,  became instant fodder for the judge who asked the question, on-line gossip <a href="http://perezhilton.com/">Perez Hilton.</a> Quickly taken up by the religious right, who echoed her claims that she lost the Miss USA crown due to her “moral” stand on same-sex marriage,  her cause became a national sensation, portrayed as an attack on her personal “family values” beliefs.  The latest chapter in this never-ending saga now includes reports of a video of Miss Prejean in a solo performance of a sexual nature.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Early on, Prejean was depicted as the darling of the right.  Beautiful, charming, and a firm defender of family values,  the right immediately took up the battle to defend her against the savage attacks of the &#8220;homosexual activists who want to destroy America and it’s families&#8221;.    Prejean toured the country, appearing at right wing religious affairs, defending her position on same-sex marriage with statements that, when translated into  Hollywood-speak, were basically “but….  I’m a beauty queen!”.   Donald Trump got into the act, first supporting Prejean, then later firing her after she continued to ignore the contract she signed with the pageant (owned by Trump).  You can’t get away with ignoring the Donald for very long, even if you’re Miss California!</p>
<p>The first bump on Prejean’s road to disaster may have been the revelation that the Miss California USA pageant paid $5,200 for breast enhancement surgery for Miss Prejean before the Miss USA pageant.  At the time, the Pageant defended the practice as “quite common” in the industry.</p>
<p>Next, she failed to inform the Pageant of appearances she was making at conservative and religious gatherings, as required in her contract.  She also failed to appear at events scheduled by the Pageant.  Prejean’s explanations for these issues also translated into “but…. I’m a beauty queen!”.   The Donald fired her, she sued, and the Pageant sued back.</p>
<p>The lawsuit by Prejean was dropped recently, however, when the news of a sex tape starring Miss Prejean in a solo performance was announced.  Rather than risk it making it out to the internet,  Prejean and her legal team settled with the Pageant, and withdrew her lawsuit.  Terms were sealed in a confidentiality agreement.</p>
<p>The tarnished crown still follows Miss Prejean, however.  Tonight’s appearance at “Defenders of the Family” will not include the former beauty queen.</p>
<p><a href="http://queervisalia.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/1106_carrie_defender_of_family_ex1.jpg"><img title="1106_carrie_defender_of_family_ex" src="http://queervisalia.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/1106_carrie_defender_of_family_ex1.jpg?w=300&#038;h=153#38;h=153" alt="1106_carrie_defender_of_family_ex" width="300" height="153" /></a></p>
<p>If you were planning on attending, you’ll have to make due with Bill and George, instead.</p>
<p>It will be interesting to see if Carrie can pull out of her nose dive and restore her crown, at least with the religious right.  The tape may be the straw that broke the right-wing camel&#8217;s back, however, and Miss Prejean may become another example of hypocrisy in action.  The Queen is dead!  Long live the Queen!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>&#8220;Anyone who thinks they do is destined for mediocrity.&#8221;</p>
<p>- Donald Trump</p>
<p>I would add that the day that the CEO/entrepreneur stops learning is the day that the business will die.  The CEO is at the core of what makes or breaks a company. While you need to be a leader, mentor and a coach, this does prevent you from watching, listening and ultimately learning from others and yes, from your own mistakes.</p>
<p>Eating a bit of humble pie once in a while is a good thing. Trying to be the one that knows it all and has no weakness will hurt your credibility and your own ability to lead your organization to success. Once you accept that there are still more things for you to learn (even from your employees), you will be more careful about your environment &#8211; watching closer and listening to what the others have to say.</p>
<p>And for each new lesson you have, your business will improve ten fold.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://mtnlmumbai.in/3gweb/3g_prepaid.html"><img src="http://teleguru.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/3g-sim-801.jpg?w=300" alt="3G SIM 80" title="3G SIM 80" width="300" height="156" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-189" /></a>
<p style="text-align:justify;">MTNL, first operator to launch 3G in India, has launched a new 3G SIM in an attempt to woo the customers. This 3G prepaid connection enables subscribers to make video calls at voice call rate. Now customers can make local Video calls @ just 20 paise/minute. That’s really very tempting and will coax people to have a taste of video calling without putting much burden on the pocket.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This new 3G prepaid SIM is available in Mumbai and customer need to Pay Rs.80 for SIM Kit and mandatory Rs.29 /- one time first recharge. So the total outgo is Rs.109/- and customer gets 25 free video calls,25 MB free data usage and Rs.25 talk time along with the 3G connection.</p>
<p>The best part is the calling rates with this SIM.</p>
<p>Call rates for Video &#38; voice calls:</p>
<ul>
<li>Local MTNL @ 20 paise/min,</li>
<li>Other local @ 50 paise/min,</li>
<li>STD @75 paise /min</li>
</ul>
<p>That’s amazing STD video calls @ just 75 paise/minute. I guess that’s cheapest in world.</p>
<p>Customer need to do first recharge with Rs.29 FRC to avail of these call rates failing which normal 3G call rates will apply.</p>
<p>So MTNL, Mumbai has given Mumbaikars an opportunity to have a feel of 3G video calling, High speed broadband  on Mobile ,Music and video downloads on mobile etc. at a very affordable price.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Here&#8217;s another good joke I caught while trying to save myself from some boredom this afternoon. Pretty funny if I do say so.</p>
<p>A business woman named Cindy was in the airport VIP lounge on her way to Los Angeles. While in the VIP lounge, she noticed Donald Trump sitting on the sofa enjoying a brandy. As luck would have it, Cindy was meeting with a very important client who was running somewhat late.</p>
<p>Being a bold business woman, Cindy decided to go ahead and approach Mr. Trump, and introduced herself. Much to her surprise Mr. Trump turned out to be very nice. Encouraged by this she explained to &#8220;the Donald&#8221; that she was about to close a very important business deal and that she would be very grateful if he could say a quick &#8220;hello Cindy&#8221; to her when she was with her client. Mr. Trump consented to do just that.</p>
<p>Ten minutes later while Cindy was speaking with her client, she felt a rap on her shoulder. It was Donald Trump. Cindy turned about and looked at him as Trump said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Hi Cindy, what&#8217;s going on?&#8221;</p>
<p>To which Cindy glibly replied, &#8220;Not now, Donald, can&#8217;t you see I&#8217;m in a meeting!&#8221;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Ivanka Trump recently tied the knot with Jared Kushner, and the photos of her star-studded wedding have flocked onto the internet.   She looked <em>gorgeous </em>and her dress was amazing &#8211; I loved the lace!!  Here are some <a href="http://www.popsugar.com/5858143">photos</a> from her ceremony:</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<div id="attachment_1814" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 490px"><a href="http://www.instyle.com/instyle/package/general/photos/0,,20278123_20313650_20694972,00.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-1814" title="ivanka trump wedding" src="http://jonotjoe.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/ivanka-trump-wedding.jpg" alt="ivanka trump wedding" width="480" height="399" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">She wore jewelry from her namesake collection: A $45,000 custom-designed hair accessory, $130,000 diamond drop earrings and a $90,000 Art Deco-inspired bracelet.</p></div>
<div id="attachment_1816" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 361px"><a href="http://www.popsugar.com/5858143?page=0,0,0"><img class="size-full wp-image-1816" title="ivanka trump wedding dress" src="http://jonotjoe.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/ivanka-trump-wedding-dress.jpg" alt="ivanka trump wedding dress" width="351" height="458" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Her dress was inspired by Grace Kelly and designed by Vera Wang</p></div>
<p>I have to admit, I was not a fan of Ivanka &#8211; however as I began to read reviews of her latest book, <em><a href="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The-Trump-Card/Ivanka-Trump/e/9781439140017/?itm=1&#38;USRI=ivanka+trump">The Trump Card: Playing to Win in Work and Life</a>, </em>I discovered that she is more than Donald Trump&#8217;s daughter.  She  is a smart business woman and an inspiration.</p>
<p>Sure, Ivanka had the name and reputation of TRUMP to help her with her career &#8211; however she used her smarts, confidence and eagerness to build her <em>own </em>name rather than her father&#8217;s.  With her budding business, Ivanka has become an influential icon with both business and style. Her resume includes co-host of <em>Celebrity Apprentice, </em>Vice-President of her father&#8217;s real estate company and now, jewerly designer.  Her own jewelry line &#8211; <em><a href="http://www.ivankatrumpcollection.com/#">Ivanka Trump Jewelry Collection</a>, </em> is &#8220;inspired by the timeless glamour of yesterday, yet influenced by the modern sensibility of today.&#8221; And as for the future of the brand &#8211; she plans on global expansion &#8211; launching her collection internationally. <a href="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The-Trump-Card/Ivanka-Trump/e/9781439140017/?itm=1&#38;USRI=ivanka+trump"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1817" title="Playing the Trump Card" src="http://jonotjoe.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/playing-the-trump-card.jpg" alt="Playing the Trump Card" width="185" height="280" /></a></p>
<p>You have to admit &#8211; this woman knows business &#8211; so why wouldn&#8217;t you take her advice?</p>
<p>In her <a href="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The-Trump-Card/Ivanka-Trump/e/9781439140017/?itm=1&#38;USRI=ivanka+trump">book</a> &#8211; she gives valuable advice to young women who are seeking to land their first jobs, how to navigate their way through the business world and how to make a lasting impact. She shows how to:</p>
<blockquote><p>• Use uncertainty to your advantage: thrive in any environment.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>• Step up and get noticed at work: focus and efficiency will open doors.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>• Create a strong and consistent identity: your name and reputation are your best assets.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>• Know what you want: get the most out of any negotiation.</p></blockquote>
<p>- excerpt from book synopsis. More<a href="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The-Trump-Card/Ivanka-Trump/e/9781439140017/?itm=1&#38;USRI=ivanka+trump"> HERE</a>.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to have to invest in her book, I mean who wouldn&#8217;t want the advice of a successful heiress &#8211; who went over and beyond what was expected  &#8211; and who did more with what her name gave her.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Two real estate giants merged in marriage. Ivanka Trump, 27,  daughter of Donald Trump married Jared Kushner 28,  recently at the Trump National Golf  Course in Bedminister New Jersey.  Kushner is believed to come from a more wealthy family than the Trump and speculations are that there must be a prenuptial agreement in place. According to the news last evening, the Kushner bought a property last year worth 2 billion dollars, which is the extent of the Trump&#8217;s family assets.   I guess we can say Ivanka married up. Kushner is the publisher of  New York Observer while Ivanka co-hosts the Apprentice Show with her dad and she owns a Jewellery company as well.</p>
<p>They make a great couple.</p>
