Secrets to Wellness Success

How Can You Create Action & Movement in Your Wellness Business?

2011-04-18T15:19:00.000-07:00

This past weekend I spent it at a wellness training. It was one of the best that I have been to. I was fortunate to attend at the last minute.

When I got there, we set our intentions for that day. My intention was to see this information through new eyes and to receive it in a way that would spark action and movement into my current wellness business.

The power of setting intentions is huge! If you want to learn more about that, please take a look at a blog post I did not so long ago called How Important Is Setting Your Intention?

Throughout the weekend, my intentions were met! I want to share with you some great insight that I received and saw through new eyes in hopes that this will spark something for you and your business or get you moving in the direction of creating your own healthy business.

Here are some tips to create action and movement in your wellness business:

Create a target market - No matter what business you are in, even if your product can help everyone, you need to narrow it down. You might be thinking, why? This will cut out so many people! Not true - When you can get so clear on who you want to work with, that will drive those people specifically to you! You will be speaking their language and they will be the ones to hear your message! Otherwise, you will be spending a lot of time trying to find the right people for your product!

Decide what your end goal is for your clients or new associates - If it is to just make money for yourself, they will know that (You are giving off an energetic vibration that says just that!) Tim Sales says it best, no matter what business you are in, "You are in business to make someone else life better!" For myself, my business goal is determine how I can help my clients achieve the best possible health. I want them to be able to create True Wellness for themselves! When you go into a consultation or seminar with that intention to make their lives healthier - they can feel, sense or just know that is your energy and will respond to that higher energy vibration!

Become an expert and love what you do - Dust off your old hobbies and activities that you love to do that maybe you pushed in the closet when you started your wellness business or became to occupied by work! That's right, when you start to get back into the things that you love to do, you raise your energy vibration! It attracts others who want to raise or be at that vibration too! This is a great way to connect with people who have the same interest as you so you can have some great things to talk about!

These are just a few tidbits that I wanted to share with you! I felt they were so important and needed to really help you (and myself) take some inspired action and movement within our business!

****Are there any other tips that you would like to share that you have done in your wellness business to create momentum and take action? We would love to hear from you! If your looking into starting your own wellness business, do these tips help you in anyway and how? Please share all comment, questions and ah-ha's down below! We can't wait to hear from you!

How Important is Setting Your Intention?

2010-12-30T06:36:00.000-08:00

The one thing that I have learned this week is to pay attention to synchronicities.

I think of a synchronicity as a coincidence, or coordination of events.

I also know to start paying attention to things when they happen more than once! So, this week the word "intentions" was coming up all over the place.

It was in my conversations when I was talking to friends and family, my accountability buddies, and even on the online radio shows and some videos that I was listening to.

If that isn't a sign....I don't know what is!

What I took away from this showing up in my life more than once, is that, setting an intention is one of the most powerful things that we can do.

You are working with the Universe to co-create your reality! By setting your intention you are really giving yourself back the power of how you want situations, circumstances, and things to go.

I set my intention for the day, when I wake up. What I am going to set into more practice, is setting an intention for projects and tasks that I am doing in my life. Also when things don't "feel" so good for me, I will be setting my intention.

It is most powerful to set an intention with these two components. How you want to feel and what you want to experience!

Today I intend to feel energized and confident that I can clean up the kitchen and complete a few business tasks with ease!

What are your intentions for the day or maybe for a particular project or task? I invite you to set them and watch the magic unfold! Please share below so I can hold your intention for you and seeing it the way you want!

Have a magical day!

How Can I Set the Foundation to an Abundant Life?

2010-12-07T14:24:00.000-08:00

To be quite honest, an abundant life really starts from within. That's right, it starts with you! You are the vehicle or vessel of what you bring into your life.

Take some time to really think about that. Look around at your life. Do you have what you want? Are you always trying to work harder? Do things come to you naturally or does it take you a long time to get what you want?

You are sending out a higher vibration of energy when things come to you easily. You are feeling joyful, excited and full of love and gratitude most of of the time. I call these the high energy vibrations.

If you feel stuck or having a hard time with manifesting what you want, then you are most likely in a place of lack, frustration, struggle and maybe even feeling a bit depressed. I call these emotions and feelings the low level vibrations.

I do have to say that the more and more that I tap into the Universal Laws and Energy Work I am so amazed by this wondrous power.

Life doesn't have to be hard. You don't need to work, work, work to figure things out. The most important tool is to align your energy to a higher vibration to get what you want.

The key to creating an abundant life really beings with you and how you take care of yourself!

How are you treating your body?

Are You Pushing to Make Something Happen?

2010-12-01T14:02:00.000-08:00

How many times have you pushed and pushed to try and make something work? Maybe you feel under pressure to make a certain outcome happen so you end up doing something that you wish you could take back?

Have you ever felt as if you were just keep banging your head against the wall, because what you are trying to make happen just isn't happening or working out the way that you wanted it too.

Of course, you are not alone. I had been there so many times and I know that many other people have experienced the same thing. I finally figured out the key to ALLOWING!

Growing up, I think a lot of us are taught that we need to use our heads and just "figure things out". For so many years I followed this process and it just made me even more frustrated. Deep down inside I felt as if there was a better way to make things happen.

For the past 3 years I am diving into my own spirituality and my intuition. Along my journey I have learned and realize that all the answers that we need are right in front of us and among us! We just need to open ourselves up and ALLOW ourselves to be aware of them.

This week I have had some personal/business breakthroughs. It wasn't until I let go....I mean fully let go of what I was trying so hard to figure out that I started to get some thoughts and ideas that just felt so wonderful!

I want to give you some tips on how you can 'let go and ALLOW in' more of what you want.

Get clear and specific on the questions you are asking - this one is very hard for many people. They are usually all over the place and don't really know what it is that they want.

Ask your questions and let it float into the Universe - you need to let it go, stop worrying about it, complaining about it or getting frustrated. This keeps you in a place of resistance and in fact brings you more worry, complaining and frustration. Let it go!

Find something FUN to do - read a book, watch your favorite television show, hang out with friends, go surfing or snowboarding. Do something that gets your mind off your question.

Be aware - notice your thoughts, feelings, things that are happening around you. These are all synchronicities that will lead you to your answer!

Keep a journal - write it down! All of it, your question, observations, synchronicities! Then review it. This will help you to get clear on your answer or the next direction you need to take to answer your question!

This process works! You just need to have confidence and trust in your ability to let things go so that you can ALLOW more of what you want in!

I do want to hear from you! Please feel free to leave your comments and questions below! Do you use this process and if so, how has it helped you? If you haven't use this, do you think you will give it a try?

Please leave your comments below on how this resonates with you or share with us how you plan to or already incorporate this into your daily life! It truly is one more key to helping you create an abundant life!

How To Get Hit By A Wave of Clarity!

2010-11-18T15:15:00.000-08:00

Have you ever felt so stuck when trying to do something and you just can't get any clarity to move you forward?

Or even felt as if you were trying to make other people happy following what they had told you because they said, "it was the best for you?"

Both of these challenges were happening for me and I didn't realize that they were so linked together. I was trying so hard to put together a project that I was working on with someone else but it wasn't working out. It felt good and exciting at first and as time passed, I just couldn't see how I could actually help people reach their goals with the plan that we created together.

Instead of re-designing the plan, I was so focused on how to make "that plan" happen. Keep in mind, no one was even interested in this plan. I put it out there, shared it with people and their simply was NO interest.

Of course, I was also having a hard time telling this person who helped me that I just couldn't see the vision anymore. It really didn't serve who I am here to help.

But then all of the sudden I got clarity again!

This clarity happened as an expense and end to a friendship, which wasn't initiated by me.

I was really taken back by the impact of this choice. I couldn't believe that a friendship would be cut off and ended because I didn't see "it" in the same way. As I look back on it, the Universe delivers and I am always amazed and surprised in the way it comes.

Once this challenge was out of my way, the clarity was unbelievable. I instantly saw how I could move things around in the program and really give my clients a system that will help them reach their goals. I am in the process of putting it together but it is so simply amazing!

The point to all of this is sometimes we need to clear out areas and even people in our life that are just holding us back by standing up for what you feel is in our best interest.

It may be hard and difficult to do or you can do what I did and not respond and let the Universe take care of it for you!

If you have been challenged by something and got through it, I would love to hear about it! Leave your comments below!

Do you have a TEAM to move you forward?

2010-11-02T13:45:00.001-07:00

For the past week I have been getting some intuitive hits. For me it's a knowing or realization of something that comes to me. It feels like an ah-ha moment or a light bulb going off in my head and I am saying to myself, "yes! That is so right!"

What came to me was how important team work and a TEAM is, in creating an abundant future especially through business. I have to be quite honest, to create the healthy abundant future that you are looking for you need to team up, help each other to reach goals and also to leverage yourself.

When I think of team, team work and how this relates to the ocean, the dolphins and whales come to mind.

I do have to say that what you put your attention on grows! Because of my attention on team work I came across this great video of a pod of Humpback Whales in the open ocean working together as a team to hunt for food. Check it out, it is amazing! you will understand what I mean by team work!

Dolphins are very social animals living together in pods. They stick together no matter what. If one is injured or ill they never leave them. How amazing is that. One of the most intellectual animals on the planet. We can clearly learn a lot from them.

Why is a team so important in building your abundant future?

You are not alone
It's a support system of people committed to helping you move through your challenges, as well as you helping others
Brainstorm - it's better when you can pool your ideas and bounce idea's off of others
Honesty and Trust - they will help you to move past barriers to reach your goals
Energy - for a lot of people just being in the energy of people who share the same interests and goals helps you to raise your energetic vibration and to feel even better!

If you aren't helping other people succeed and reach their goals, YOU will never reach yours!

I can't wait to hear from you, leave your comments down below! Do you have a team to help you build your abundant future or are you swimming in the ocean all by yourself? How is it working for you?

An Ocean Beating Gave Me a New Perspective!

2010-10-29T15:01:00.000-07:00

I remember this day so clearly. It was the first time that I went to the North Shore of O'ahu with some friends. We are were on a break from college and decided to fly from the Big Island to O'ahu. The ocean was very calm but the land slopped so much into the ocean that it caused the waves to be pretty big and just pound the shoreline.

In order to get out to the ocean and into the calmness, we needed to make it past the "beating" on the beach.

I loved the ocean so much but at this time I hadn't had much experience with it. I grew up in Colorado, land locked all my life except for two summer vacations with my family to Bonaire, which is located 50 miles North of Venezuela. My experience with Bonaire had gentle waves and a calm ocean.

So, I looked at the waves just beating down on the beach and took a deep breath, ran down the slope and right it to the wave. Oh my goodness, I felt as if I was in a washing machine. I did a few somersaults, feeling as if I was being mixed in with the sand. All I was thinking about at the time was, I hope that now one is watching me.

So the ocean receded and I was on the beach, luckily my suit was still intact but I had sand everywhere! So I got up and immediately and DID THE SAME THING! Not thinking, or connected to my guidance, I just picked myself up and ran back into the ocean. There it was again, I was in the spinning cycle of the washing machine.

OH MY GOODNESS. It wasn't until my 3rd attempt that I realized that I had to take a time out, and actually TIME the waves! You might be thinking what does that mean?

OK, as the waves come in, they beat on the shore then there is a few seconds where it is somewhat calm and the water recedes back. It is in that calmness when I should be making my way into the ocean.

NOT when the waves are pounding so hard on the beach and putting me in the spin cycle.
----- I do want you to know that as I am writing this I am really laughing at myself. Looking back on it, it truly was funny! =)

The reason I am sharing this with you is because I am sure there have been times in your life that you have done something that hasn't worked and you keep going back and doing it again and again and again the same way. You are pretty much going through what I just talked about, a beat down from the ocean.

All you need to do it step back from what your doing, take a breather and re-examine it. Maybe from a different perspective or pulling someone from the outside will help you to get some insight on how you can make your situation work.

If we don't step away from something that isn't working and re-examine it, then we usually give up, call ourselves a failure or call the situation a failure.

Nothing is a failure but a challenge to get you to open up to something new! I hope this helps you to get a good laugh but also be able to re-examine any situation that isn't working for you!

How do you make enough time in the day to do everything that needs to be done?

2010-10-27T16:58:00.000-07:00

Today I created a video about a question someone asked me related to creating a healthy lifestyle.

That question was "How do you make enough time in the day to do everything that needs to be done?"

I wanted to share it with you because I feel it is so helpful with creating abundance and helping everyone in general really creating their day, having more time for life, for fun for experiences that really excited and move us to enjoy life.

Here is the video:

Please share any insights, comments or questions you may have below! I want to hear from you! =)

What are you putting your attention on?

2010-10-15T13:39:00.000-07:00

This morning I did my morning meditation. In fact, I am doing the 21 Meditation Challenge from The Chopra Center. It's really awesome because they explain different meditation and help you to make this a great practice that you can do everyday. It takes 21 days to create a new habit!

During the mediation today they were taking about attention. Attention is what you are putting your focus on now, where you direct your energy. So this morning, I put my attention on "Attention" and it was amazing how much I have really noticed.

I took my son to the park this morning and when I walked out the door, I was so blown away and in awe of how awesome the colors were. Vibrant oranges, dark green and light green of the trees. The sky was a calming blue with absolutely NO cloud in the sky. I felt as if I had stepped into a masterpiece. It was awesome!

(This is a tree across from my house)

As I put my attention on the beauty and appreciation for what I was seeing, I noticed that everything that came my way today was something that I found to appreciate and find the beauty in. Once you put your attention on something, it will find a way to show up even more in your life.

I want to ask you, what are you putting your attention on? Is it something that is holding you back from really living your life that you should be living? Are you paying attention to how nothing ever works for you? How everything seems to be hard or how you never have enough money?

By putting your attention on something that doesn't feel good, you will find more and more things that aren't going to make you feel good. What you need to do it change what you are giving your attention to. Start to look for the beauty in things. Appreciate what you shows up for you.

When you can make that shift, which may take some time, and please be gentle with yourself, but once you make that shift, you will be amazed at how you can start to attract more of what you want out of life.

Please feel free to share your comments below. I would love to hear how this article helped you!!

How to Reset your Vibration Instantly!

2010-09-30T14:58:00.000-07:00

Many of you know that I am a big fan of Universal Principles. Especially the Law of Attraction. For myself, I always knew there was a better, easier way of doing things then from a place of feeling irritated, scared or frightened to make things happen.

Once I found out about the Law of Attraction, I was so excited. I knew that it you just couldn't sit around on your thinking about how things were going to change......that would make that change. The secret is to get really clear about what you want, be in the feeling of it and taking inspired action to make it happen.

The other great thing that I have learned is that you will always be lead to the right place, you just need to be open to it. This all happens by being in the vibes of what you want to attract.

A few weeks ago I was watching this video with Lilou Mace and Michael Losier on how you can Reset your Vibration.

I just love this because I help people RESET their health! What a great combination! I hope you enjoy this fantastic video full of some amazing content that you can use NOW!

Alzheimer's Disease Living Close to Home

2010-09-06T21:35:00.000-07:00

After coming home from an amazing event for 4 days in Salt Lake City, this past week I have spent with my Grandma and my family. My Grandma has been living with Alzheimer's Disease for many years now and she is making her transition to the other side.

Alzheimer's is a brain disease destroying brain cells and causing memory loss and problems. Alzheimer Association does a great job at explaining the process and what happens.

This is a hard disease to see someone live through, as I have watched my Grandma from the beginning to the ending stages. I have to say that my son and I would go visit my Grandma this past month almost everyday and when she was awake, alert and mobile, she would look into my eyes and I just knew that she knew who I was. I have been so blessed to spend my life knowing her, growing up with her and living life with her. She is an amazing and wonderful person to have in my life.

The reason why I am sharing this with you is because Alzheimer's is a degenerative disease. What does that mean?

Wikipedia defines degenerative disease as the deterioration of tissue and organs over time due to normal body wear or lifestyle choices like exercise and eating habits.

It has been said that 80% of degenerative diseases are preventable by making healthy lifestyle changes. This includes eating a healthy meals, exercising regularly and giving your body optimal levels of high quality nutritional supplements.

Mostly recently Vitamin D has shown some amazing health benefits. Don't just take my word from it. Dr. Wentz talked about it recently at the live event I attended but he also wrote about it on his blog. Read about how important Vitamin D is an it's role it plays in helping improve your health...click here

I think that in any situation we are in, it is a learning one and I have learned so much from my Grandma. Who she is and especially what she is dealing with as she lives with Alzheimer's. The most important part of the situation is what are you going to do about it?

I hope to educate and help others live strong healthy lives for many, many years through my life's experiences. I know my Grandma's time is almost over but there are many out there who aren't! I can't stress enough how important taking care of your health really is.

I want to leave you with Dr. Wentz's words, "We live to short and die to long."

Let's turn it around so that we live long healthy lives and when it's time to go we just go!

What an amazing 4 Days!

2010-08-30T13:53:00.000-07:00

I am still basking in the energy of the USANA International Convention. What an amazing 4 days I had along with my husband.

The part that I loved the most was connecting with my Social Media buddies! I have been on social media for a few years and have made some amazing great connections with people. My first stop on our trip was of course to visit the Social Media Department.

I first ran into Lisa, who is amazing and then Tim showed up. Those two do an amazing job! To be in there presence was remarkable! Here is a picture of all of us! I also received an amazing Social Media Gift Bag....it pays to connect on Social Media. Thank you!

Even as I am writing this I am so amazed by how a friendship can develop through social media.

I also ran into a few other awesome social media buddies Joe Katchka, Jacob Palmer and Allan Fiji. I highly suggest following them! They ROCK! There were many more that I didn't get change to run into but I know that I can still connect with them online!

That following day they had the USANAFest, which was a great time...line dancing =) and listening to some awesome music! There is aways great fun when you are in the company of The Free Radicals, Dr. Denis Waitley, Dave Wentz and David Osmond!

The next 3 days were full of amazing speakers, teachers, content and announcements! To be in the energy of the "Best Live Event in America" is truly amazing. The theme was Breaking Through and being there I knew that I was ready to Break Through and walk away from any fear, worries or doubt that may try to creep back into our lives ever so often.

There were some amazing and inspirational speakers that took the stage and the one I always love hearing from is Dr. Myron Wentz. What an amazing, talented, giving person. I also love the skits they do...if you aren't having fun then what are you doing?

Thank you USANA for all that you do! I feel so blessed to be a part of such an amazing company!

I had such an amazing, incredible time! The excited and enthusiasm is still with me and I have bottled it up to keep me going throughout the year. One thing that I have learned and implemented from this event was action steps. I came to such an amazing place to learn and grow as a person but also to learn and grow my business but it won't do me any good if I don't implement what I had learned.

For most people, they go to events and leave......never setting any action steps into place. This year before I left, I think it was around the 3rd day...I had a plan! I knew what I wanted to do and how I am going to do it! Plus I have my accountability partner helping me every step of the way along with a strong team!

With that said, I am ready to celebrate many break throughs this year! How about you? Are you ready to Break Through?

Do you have an accountability partner for your business?

2010-08-20T15:14:00.000-07:00

An accountability partner is exactly how it sounds, a partner to hold you accountable. They are ideal to have if you are starting a business, feeling stuck or you want to take your business to the next level.

Sometimes we just need that extra push to move us forward. I know I do. Especially when it comes to working from home. I can get caught up with housework, my son, dishes (not that I want too!) but other things seem to take over, and business can sometimes get pushed to the side.

About a month ago, I was approached by a good friend. She asked me if I would like to be an accountability partner to her. I have to back up a bit, that day....to be exact, a friend on Facebook was talking about how she has an accountability partner and it really was helping her. I thought to myself, what a great idea. I would love to have one!

So, I asked, felt very good about it and the Universe delivered, in the way of my friend. When she asked me, I of course said, "YES!"

We talk Monday, Wednesday & Friday in the morning so that we can set our days up for success by sharing goals and progress. We have been doing this for a month now and it really has been working wonderfully.

What I love about having my partner is that when I feel stuck on something, we can talk it out. I may have been only looking at the situation one way and she has been able to help me by giving me some different view points.

The other thing that has really worked so well is that we know that we are going to be talking to each other so we KNOW that we need to do something! Our mind is on business but we are having a lot of fun with this and things don't seem so "hard" anymore.

I highly suggest and recommend getting yourself an accountability partner to help you grow and build your successful business!

*I would love to hear from you by leaving a comment below! Let me know your accountability is helping you or not helping you!

Are you breaking through?

2010-08-14T06:34:00.000-07:00

This year has been an incredible year so far! Not only for myself but for the whole world. I think that in so many areas we (as human beings) have realized that we need to start doing things to move us to feeling better, living better and appreciating each other and our planet.

It really has been about Breaking Through (the theme for the USANA International Convention - which is only 11 days away today!)

For myself, this has been a powerful year of self-discovery. I am finally opening myself up to who I truly am and embracing that power. I have to be quite honest with you, I allowed others to live my life, by making decisions based on what would make other people happy.

This has been a big break through for me and in doing that I have realized that I have had a lot of beliefs holding me back from really becoming what I have wanted, who I truly am. Through this uncovering of beliefs that no longer serve me, I have been able to change them into something that feels good, that is me, that is what I believe now! In doing that, I have unlocked many doors of possibility to myself.

I want to ask you, "Are you breaking through?" If you are, I want to congratulate you! Whoohoo! I would love to hear about it too.

If your not, maybe your reading this because you are looking for your break through. If you are looking, you don't have to look very far because it is inside of you. You are the break through! You are the only person that can hold you back from this by keeping you in a place of lack, worry, frustration, anger, whatever place that is for you.

You can choose to break through to your true potential, living the life that you know that you want, doing the things that excite you and bring you joy. It's out there....waiting for you!

All you have to do is make the decision today, draw the line in the sand, that Today is the Day for your break through and open your heart to yourself.

Ask yourself, "What is it that is holding me back from doing what I truly want to do?"

When you can on cover that ask "WHY".

Really get to the heart of the challenge. Then you will need to make a change. Once you can make that change I am certain you will be making your break through.

Please share by writing a comment below! I would love to hear your break through so far this year and help CELEBRATE them with you. I would also like to hear if your looking for it so we all can help support you!

How Important is it to FEEL Your Way To What You Want?

2010-08-11T12:25:00.000-07:00

I have been reading the book Money, and the Law of Attraction by Esther & Jerry Hicks. I got introduced to the Law of Attraction when the movie The Secret came out and not long after that, I was introduced to Abraham-Hicks from a friend. I have to say, since then my world has completely changed.

In the back of the book they have a CD. I decided to listen to it because I have the day to myself. Wednesday is the day where my son goes over to his grandma's house so that I have a full day to work. I am on conference calls, planning, implementing and allowing business to happen.

I do have to say that I love Wednesdays!

Anyways, I was reminded from the CD that the most important thing you can do to move you into the direction you want to go is to be take a look at how you are FEELING in the moment.

When you are excited and having fun, you are in alignment with what you want. Let's look at it in your situation.

What is it that you really want? OK. How are you feeling about it? Does that thought of it make you feel excited and happy? If so, you are moving towards it and everything that needs to fall into place for you to reach it is lining up.

What if you have this pit in your stomach and you feel uncomfortable? Maybe you are feeling frustrated or even worried about what it is that you want.

When you are having those feelings that don't feel good to you then you can be sure that you aren't not aligning up with what you want.

I used to think that I needed to do whatever it was possible to make things happen. What did that bring me? Frustration, worry and even a little anger because what I wanted, wasn't showing up, no matter how hard I worked for it.

It wasn't until I let go of the "always trying to do whatever it was possible to make things happen" syndrome that I grew up with, that I started to feel better. Once I started to feel better, I noticed things would start to fall into place. People would show up that would help me, conversations would happen that gave me the guidance I needed to move into the right direction.

I have to say that it took me a while to understand this and I am still learning! Sometimes I will find myself pushing against what I want only to realize that I need to back off and FEEL better about it!

Once you can do that, you are opening yourself up for greatness to occur!

Today, take the time to acknowledge how your are FEELING! Don't you want to feel happy and enjoy life? Well you should! So what are you waiting for! Start NOW to feel a little bit better!

Are Company Events Even Important To Go To When Building a Home Business?

2010-08-05T20:49:00.000-07:00

If you are thinking of starting a home based business, one thing you might have heard throughout your introduction to the company, is that it is very important to go to company events, one in particular being Convention.

In the back of your mind, you might be saying, OK, that's great but I will see when the time comes. Maybe even cost and expenses enter your mind. I know, I used to tell myself those stories too.

Until I went to my first USANA Convention. It was amazing!

What are the benefits of attending your home based business Companies Convention?
(I am speaking from my experience.)

- Product knowledge. Every year we get to have some amazing trainings that pertain to certain products within the company as well as hearing about some amazing new products first hand and to get training on them too.

- Company knowledge. I have been reminded year after year how wonderful our company is and how it works. It is even better if you are able to visit and tour the company!

- Networking. I just love the fact that you get to meet face to face with wonderful people who run the operations part of the company but also work in the field. This is my favorite part because you get to connected with people who are at different stages in their business but you also get to network with the guys and ladies who work in the corporate office. Personally, since building my business through social media, I have made a lot of great friendships and this is the time to stop by and say hi, face to face!

- Self development. This is so important. Each year that I attend I am able to push myself to new limits. I uncover what maybe holding me back in certain areas and I learn how to move past them.

- Business training. No matter where you may be in your business, starting out or having been in business for years, you can always benefit from business training. How to be successful in the field, how to build a great team, how to move you forward and turn your business up a notch.

Whatever you need, you will find it at Convention! Guaranteed.

I have to say if you are still questioning whether this is the right next step for you, especially if it is to Attend the USANA International Convention, then this is the event YOU will WANT to attend!

So, to answer the question "Are company event even important to go to when building a home business" my answer is YES! You don't want to miss it!

You and your business will succeed and reach new levels when you attend events like Convention. Don't hesitate, get yourself and your business there!

Are you really living a fulfilled life?

2010-07-28T17:22:00.000-07:00

Can you honestly say that you are living your life that way you have always imagined it? Are you doing what you always thought you would be doing?

I think there might just be a handful of people that can actually say YES to those questions.

Many people wake up each day, drained, working way to much and really hating what they do. Are you one that falls into those categories?

I was really one of those people! Without a doubt! When the alarm hit I always felt "sick to my stomach" and I did not want to get out of bed to go to a job that I really hated. I felt like this for years. Until I got pregnant! You are probably thinking, OK so I have to get pregnant to enjoy life....well maybe...but NO! Getting pregnant really opened my eyes to the way that I was living my life.

By bringing a baby into the world, I wanted to share with him that he can BE, DO, and HAVE anything in his life! So if I wanted to share that with him, shouldn't I be living that kind of life? I always say, practice what you preach.

Of course! That is really when I started to look deep down inside and do so some soul searching. What was it that I really loved to do and how could I really do that?

Many of us have been taken down a path that had lead us to something that isn't quite what we imagined for ourselves. If your on that path, I invite you to do some soul searching for yourself. Ask yourself, "What lead me to this point? What stories are going on inside, that I am telling myself, that is keeping me from truly enjoying life?"

This may take some time to ponder....but really give yourself that time. The more that I work with clients and even myself, the more I realize that we are here on this Earth to enjoy it but to also live our our Life's Purpose. For each and every person, that will be something different. But if you aren't happy and enjoying life, then you are probably not doing what you have come here to do.

Think about what would you rather be doing?

I am giving you permission to IMAGINE!

Image your life the way you truly want to live. Then ask yourself. "What can I do today to move myself forward to living my life with joy and happiness?"

What brings me joy and happiness is being my family, waking up every morning to take care of my son and enjoy the sunrise, helping people with health, the ocean, and doing yoga! That is what I LOVE to do!

Here is a great video that I think you will enjoy! The song is very catching and has a great message! =)

PLEASE REMEMBER: It is never to late to do what makes you happy, sometimes you just need some support and guidance to get you going! There is always someone around to help support you and guide you in the right direction!

I would truly love to hear from you and to know that you are living a fulfilled life! If not, what would you like to be doing to move you to that place? I looking forward to connecting with you all!

My Prosperity Journey!

2010-07-27T18:59:00.000-07:00

If you have been up to date with my last few blogs I have started doing the 40 day Prosperity Plan from The Abundance Book by Jonathon Randolph Price.

Today is Day 15 and it is going amazing! I have got some great insight over these past few days.

Many people grow up with the belief that money isn't something that you have, it doesn't come easy or that you have to work REALLY, REALLY hard at it.

One thing I have learned is that whatever your beliefs maybe around money, they can be changed. However, it does take time and work to change them.

That is what I really love about the 40 day plan! You are learning how to change your beliefs around money. Money isn't an object. Money is not your supply. It really is energy. Many of us feel that money is what we need, money is everything.

In actuality, we need love, joy and happiness. When we can reach that state of abundance within ourselves, then everything else will fall into place.

Take a look at your life now. What is showing up for you on the outside. Whatever that is, is a reflection of what is going on inside. If you feel stuck, lost, having a hard time getting what you really want, then you need to change what you are telling yourself. You need to change your beliefs about prosperity. You need to start living your life with love and joy.

As you move into love and joy, you are moving into alignment with what you want. Synchronicities will start to show up for you and move you and it will feel absolutely amazing how everything falls right into place.

Just remember, it takes work on your part to feel good. The wonderful thing is you can start to feel good NOW!

I hope you have been living the 40 day plan too! I would love to hear what is coming up for you!

To Your Success,
Stacy

Day 1 of the 40 Day Prosperity Plan

2010-07-13T12:29:00.000-07:00

I got up early this morning so that I could do my daily Reiki practice and mediate on day 1, Statement of Principles, of the 40 day prosperity plan in the abundance book.

I do want to start by saying that it has been a challenge for me to continue this. I think it is so important to start incorporating this into your daily routine. The book suggests that you do this in the am, right after you wake up or in the pm, right before bed.

I have to say that I was excited to get started! I really like the fact that we start out with releasing the belief that money is my supply. My supply is really God, Source, Spirit, whatever you call it! That is my true abundance and it flows through me. I am the reality of that. I found that to be so powerful.

Day 1 is a great start. I do find myself looking over the statement through out the day!

Join me by getting your book and taking the 40 day prosperity plan: The Abundance Book by John Randolph Price

My Journey with the Abundance Book

2010-07-12T21:04:00.000-07:00

Last month the book The Abundance Book by John Randolph Price was recommended with me understand the truth about the Law of Abundance. In this book it includes a 40 day prosperity plan. I have started this prosperity plan.

When you start the 40 day plan you need to journal and mediate each day. It is really about building a practice and changing your beliefs around prosperity and where it comes from. If you miss a day you need to start from the beginning so that you can be consistent and

So, I have not gone through a full 40 days, so my goal is to blog about my journey and what I experience as a way of being accountable and engaging in this wonderful process.

I highly recommend that you join me in this journey! To get your copy of this book just go to amazon.com!

Here is to the next 40 days of Abundance!

The Universe, Our World is Expanding, Are You Up For The Challenge?

2010-06-30T10:14:00.000-07:00

Just the other day I was having a conversation with a few people on the economy and jobs. We all agreed, that there is change taking place right now.

However, it is the perception of people's views that has everyone running around crazy.

The way I see it is that people fall into 3 categories. By no means am I judging any of these people in these categories. I truly don't think some people know how to move to a place that feels better. As a society, we tend to gravitate to the negative.

You will find people who completely disagree with everything that is going on and the actions that they take are from a place of low energy. They may feel frustrated, irritated, annoyed even anger. When you take action from this place, it only creates results that you truly do not want. You may feel like you are spinning your wheels, you are stuck in a place and you don't know how to get out of it. You can't see the light.

Then you will find those people who again, completely disagree with everything that is going on BUT their only action is to complain even more about it.

My last category are those people that notice change is happening but decide to look at it in a new light, a new expansion, a different view point. When you can be open to the change, to the contrast to the challenge, you are actually allowing yourself to connect with those ideas that can help to move you forward.

The conversation turned into how many people are losing their jobs and business is getting pushed out to overseas in the United States. As I listened to this conversation, this wonderful thought and idea came to me.

I will admit it, I am the person who will most likely look at a "challenge" or area of "contrast" and just know that something bigger and better wants to be born from this. It certainly may not seem like it at the time, but I know, in my heart that something better will come from this.

This viewpoint of mine is something that I have learned. I honestly can say, years ago I would have been placed in the middle category. One who completely disagreed with everything but only complained about it.

So, there is hope! I am proof! =)

So, my wonderful thought that came to me and what I shared in the conversation was, "What if, this is our expansion. Yes jobs are ending, business is being moved, but, what if, this is our wake up call to do what we truly LOVE."

There are two ways that you can look at these situations: You can complain about it, be angry with it.....which will only in return keep you feeling miserable and this will not allow you to tap into any new solutions or ideas. Because you are feeling so low, you will not get anywhere. You will feel stuck.

OR

You can say, OK, what is this telling m?. What am I to learn from this? In fact, you might want to CELEBRATE because the job that you are losing was probably one that you complained about any way right?

This expansion that we are going through is to open you up to love and creation and to do the things that you truly love and want to do. That is what we are here to do. That is your soul's purpose.

Why live life in a box, feeling depressed, unhappy, unloved when you can experience pure joy and pure bliss each and every day.

So, I am asking you, what is your outlook of your life, your world? Are you ready to take charge of your life and start living it to it's fullest?

The best part is that you don't have to wait to make the change. Your change can start today. Start today to do the things that you LOVE to do.

Share with us how you are doing the things that you love to do. If you don't know how to do them, let us know. We can brainstorm and get the energy moving!

Here is to doing what you LOVE to do,
Stacy

Are you trying to balance being a stay at home parent with a home business?

2010-06-06T15:31:00.000-07:00

I have to say that I have the best job and I really do love it. I am a full time stay at home mom but I also am running a business, actually two. One is healthy coaching and the other is business consulting in the health & wellness industry.

I get to be home with my son during the day and then be home for the family in the evening. My business falls in between all of this. During my son's nap time and then during the evenings when my husband is home.

However, I found myself very challenged by this week. Trying to balance my time with my son, who just turned 2 and trying to keep momentum in my businesses so that I can keep up with them and keep them productive. I found myself getting kind of frustrated. I felt like time wasn't on my side.

Do you find that is how you are? Juggling so many things at once that you may feel a bit overwhelmed or frustrated? Do you feel off balanced?

So, I spend some time yesterday just thinking about how I can be more productive? How can I continue to provide my son with great enrichment and learning but also feel that I am being productive in my business and still having time for myself?

Then it came to me. I got some great insight in the form of thoughts!

Setting business hours - Do you set your own business hours? I did and then it turned into doing it whenever it was convenient. From last week, I found out that this way isn't very productive. I am not able to give my full attention to my son or my full attention to my business.

Using my office - Do you have a home office? Do you use it? I have one, but I don't use it! =) I am guilty of keeping my laptop in the kitchen, which has become my new office. What I have found out this week is that it really doesn't serve me to mix your business time with my parenting time. I found that I put half of my focus on each and it really made my day worse. Not to mention the tugs and pulls from my son wanting me to play with him. =)

Taking time for myself - Do you ever do something that you enjoy? Maybe its a bath or a walk or relaxation outside? I do however, take time for myself but last week I did slack in this area. You might be thinking, "How can I take time for myself when I have to take time for everyone else? Who is going to get it done? You know, the laundry the dishes?"

You know what, you don't have to do it all! I tell my clients this all the time. You are the most important person in this world and if you aren't making yourself happy once in the day then no one around you will be happy! Even if it is for 10 mins, take time out for yourself!

This week I will be implementing these 3 steps! I hope that you do the same. What I do know, and am reminded of this often, if you are doing something that is making your frustrated, overwhelmed, annoyed, etc. then what is making you feel this way will not be going the way you truly want it to go.

Take some time to really enjoy and have fun with what you are doing. If you aren't, it is time to step away from it and don't come back until you are ready to enjoy it!

I look forward to hearing from you on how this process helped!

I have started to read the book "The Passion Test" by Janet and Chris Atwood.

It was recommended by so many people who I really look up to and enjoy seeing their success. It did take me a while to get it and I wish that I had gotten the book when I heard about it!

Before reading this book I knew about the law of attraction, how to use vision boards and to really having a clear image of what I wanted.

What I didn't do was really know what my passions were. I loved doing things but I wasn't doing what I loved. This book really allows you the ability to get clear on what your passions are. From there, you are making the choice to do the things that will bring you closer and closer to your passions.

Your not just going to think about them and allow them to sit in your mind..........You are going to LIVE them. You are allowing the opportunities to show up that will guide you where you want to go. This book is really amazing. Janet and Chris recommend doing the passion test every 6 months. to see if your passions have changed.

I definetly think this is book is for those who know what they want but haven't reached it yet and also those who really don't know what they want. You don't know a clear vision of who you are or how you want to live your life.

Don't wait like it did....get this book!

Happy Readings!

What can you do to keep your mind focused and your intentions set to accomplish your New Year's Resolution?

2010-01-05T11:59:00.000-08:00

Image by Leorex via Flickr

Happy New Year! I can't believe how fast 2009 has come and gone. I can feel that 2010 is going to be a year full of expansion and joy for many, many people.

As the New Year is upon us, many people set New Year's Resolutions. Most of the time our resolutions consist of a big change that we want to see in our current life.

Here are some examples:

1. Losing Weight

2. Increasing Prosperity (Money)

3. Enjoying Life More

4. Quit Smoking

5. Find a new job

I think that is a start. I am sure there are more and would love to hear your New Year's Resolution.

So, most of the time we set these goals to change a habit that we have that we aren't happy with. In essence that is what we are here to do. If there is contrast in our life, we are to take that contrast and grow by developing WANTS from it, which we feel will make us happy.

For most of us, the New Year starts off great. We are conscious of our new goals and deliberately trying to stay focused and change our habit. Feels good huh!

Well, then a week hits us! We search for the reasons as to why we can't continue to change our habits. Our goal was set too high, or our goal is way to hard to accomplish or it's just taking too much work to work at it. I think you can relate.

We end up talking ourselves out of our New Year's Resolution. I mean we went into it with the full intent to change something in our life that we weren't happy with but somehow was taken off course.

What can you do to keep your mind focused and your intentions set to accomplish your New Year's Resolution?

Setting a goal that feels attainable to you

If you set your goal to earn $10,000/month but you have only ever earned $1000/month that can be very overwhelming. Break it down to something that feels good to you but is a little of a stretch.

Every morning, set your intentions about how you want to feel as well as the goal you want to work on for that day

By setting your intentions, you are pre-paving the way that you want your day to go.

Notice all the positive evidences that show up for you related to this goal

Your positive evidences may be small, like how you are feeling, or huge like things manifesting in your life related to your specific goal. You want to watch for what is showing up for you in a positive way.

CELEBRATE any progress that you make on your goals

This can be something big or small or even a positive emotion you are getting when thinking or doing this goal! By celebrating this goal you are inspiring and putting out the positive emotions about what you are going relating to this goal which is literally changing the way you think about it and seeing it as being accomplished.

I hope these tips can help you stay on track for reaching your New Year's Resolutions. I encourage you to let us know what your Resolutions are for the next year so we can support you and encourage your progress.

Happy Holidays!

2009-12-21T12:29:00.001-08:00

Time for Celebration!

2009-12-18T12:00:00.001-08:00

Can you believe that the year is almost over? The door is about to close on 2009 and open for 2010!

There is no perfect time then the present to take a step back and look at your goals that you have set and the accomplishments you made for 2009!

Are you where you want to be? Are you happy with how the year went? I know for most of us we are. We are on the path of what we have created to reach our full potential. This is a time for Celebration!!

If you are not where you want to be then NOW is the perfect time to get there.

Really spend time and focus on where you want to be next year. What goals do you have for yourself. Are you enjoying your life? Do you get up every morning excited to take on your job that you have or are you miserable, living like a robot just going with the flow, doing what you need to do everyday JUST to survive?

If that's you, now is your chance to make a change!

You are here for a reason and that is to live your life to the fullest and to do the things that you want to do! Reach for the things that make you happy and you will start to enjoy life! I promise!

For one company, they have reached their goals and continue to strive to be the best at what they do. I want to leave you with some inspiration:

Are you putting up the CLOSED sign on your business during the holidays?

2009-12-12T20:38:00.000-08:00

Image via Wikipedia

The holidays are a great time to get out of your normal business routine by spending more time with your family, hanging out with friends, putting up decorations and watching the Christmas movies that come on television every year.

It is also a time when many people slow down or stop working on their business. Keep in mind, what you do, your team will also do.

It is great to take some time off and enjoy what you have but you also want to remember that you are in business. For most of us, we are in a business of relationship building.

What can you do during the holidays to continue to keep the momentum going in your business but also enjoy what you have and put the CLOSED sign away?

1. You want to continue to make and keep connections of those that you meet and already know. Really be interested in the people you come in contact with. Learn more about them and what their interests are. Your building relationships!

2. Show your appreciate to others who have helped you in your business, like your loyal customer and clients.

3. Start planning and implementing your January Kick-Off projects and start marketing them!

These are a few steps that I hope you will find useful to help you keep the momentum going and to build on your success on 2010!

If you have any other great ideas, I would love to hear about them!

Happy Holidays!

Happy Thanksgiving!

2009-11-25T13:34:00.001-08:00

This past year I am truly grateful for many things.

The most important I have to say is the relationships and friendship that I have developed. I wanted to let you all know that I sincerely appreciate you and your time to read my blog!

I am working on a new blog site for moms and I would love to see you over there:

How Am I Breaking My Old Routine To Allow More Time For Myself?

2009-11-12T12:54:00.000-08:00

Last Friday my friend, Tina and I had our biweekly buddy coaching session. We work together on applying energy management tools so we can better coach ourselves and our clients.

We each come to the session with a goal, challenge or project that we want to tackle. This week I wanted to work on setting a plan for me to have morning time for myself.

I am a stay-at-home mom of a 18 month old boy who takes up most of my day, but I also run a home business that takes up the other part of my time. I can say that I am fully taking advantage of this wonderful life.

In the mornings I would get up when my husband gets up to leave for work and that starts my day of making breakfast, lunch, getting my husband out the door and then my son up in the morning. Then business time would follow.

Needless to say, I wouldn't want to go anywhere because I never had the time to get myself ready! I wasn't getting time for ME!

So, my goal was to work on changing my belief that I could get up everyday, during the weekday, to allow time for me to get ready, meditate and center but also get my day planned and started on the right foot.

Tina, my buddy coach, walked my through a process of changing my belief and we set up a goal that allows me to get up early every morning and have time for me.

How am I doing it? How am I breaking my old routine to allow more time for myself?

Tina reminded me that it takes 21 days to change a habit!

We worked by changing my current belief that I could not get up early to something that felt a little bit better by walking through an energy blue print chart!

I came up with an action plan that allows me to be accountable to someone every morning and if I fail there is a consequence!

So far, So good! I have completed 4 of the 21 days and I have to tell you that I feel so energized, confident and peaceful as I go through my day because I have started it off with ME time!

What are you waiting for? It only takes 21 days to change a habit but it can take a second to change a belief!

To Your Success,
Stacy Stehle

Probiotics? What does that mean? Do I need it?

2009-10-23T13:07:00.000-07:00

Lately news has been spreading about Probiotics!

To some of you, you may already be aware of probiotics. For others, you may have no clue. As for me, I have heard about them but I didn't really know too much about them.

So, what do you do when you don't know much about something? Find out about it from people who actually know what they are taking about and have succeeded with it. (This is great advice to take on any subject that you may not be to sure about!)

So I did my research:

Probiotics are actually a supplemental form of "good" bacteria that are found in the stomach of our bodies.

Why should we be taking probiotics?

Let's listen to the experts and see why this is important! This video is by Dr. Gerald Lewis.

Do you need more info about a good quality probiotic product? Your in luck because Tuesday, Oct 27th you can learn from another expert, Dr. John Cuomo about benefits and uniqueness of Probiotic Plus!

If you are interested in learning more please comment or sent me an email to seadayzee@msn.com! I look forward to hearing from you. Remember Knowledge is Power!

To Your Health,

How do you begin your morning?

2009-10-08T12:46:00.000-07:00

by Stacy Stehle

Setting yourself up for success is essential to having a good day!

Just think about it, if you wake up grouchy or irritated or you stub your toe as your reaching to turn on the light because it was too dark in your room, it doesn't feel good. You can be certain that more of that will come your way. It's a law. The Law of Attraction.

Let's say that in the morning you wake up and are grateful for another day to live again and experience whatever life brings to you. How does that feel? A little bit better right. Kind of hard to focus on the negative when your looking forward to wonderful things happening in your day.

Being able to get your day started with gratitude brings you a little closer to having a great day, can help bring out the best in yourself, help you realize that your goals and/or dreams are in reach, and can help you managing your energy and emotions on a better level.

Every morning when I wake up I like to center myself. I do some meditation that really calms me and allows me to keep my mind clear. Yes I do this while I am still in bed =) Just after the alarm goes off I find that it startles me and my heart races. This allows me to calm down and prepare for my day.

Then I get up and get dressed for the day. I go upstairs and sit on my big cushy couch and do another mediation. This way I can center myself by taking in deep breaths and allowing the positive energy to move in and be absorbed but also allowing the negative, fear and frustration to leave as I exhale.

Then I script my day! I sit down and write out how I would like my day to occur. Any challenges that I am facing, I will write them out starting with how I want to feel and then what action I am going to take on those challenges.

Scripting is a great way to focus my energy and emotions but also to see where I am at with my goals and how I an move forward with them.

As my day goes on, I am able to look back on my scripting and look for positive evidences that have happened or are happening with anything that I have scripted. The more positive evidences I look for the better outlook I have and the greater my chances are that I can change my beliefs and see the results that I want to see.

I ask you.....How do you being your morning? Do you start with the positive or are you always looking for the negative in things?

If things aren't going the way you want them to in life.....I encourage you to sit back and take a look at where you are and what your doing. Just because you are in a situation that you may not be happy with now, doesn't mean that you can't change it.

You control YOUR life! Start to change it today!

Energy is spreading!

2009-10-01T12:51:00.000-07:00

Back from the Best Live Event in America!

2009-09-01T12:53:00.000-07:00

WOW! That is pretty much all that I can say about the 2009 USANA International Convention. A four day packed event that not only changed my husband's life but also the life of many other's!

I feel so blessed to be able to be a part of a company that is changing the health industry as well as the network marketing industry for the better.

The Convention started off with USANAFest! So much fun and a great place for everyone to network and enjoy themselves. We enjoyed music by the Free Radicals, Collin Raye and USANA Idol!

My husband and I were able to get a picture with the CEO, Dave Wentz! An amazing man who was voted one of America's Powerful CEO's 40 and under by Forbes.com!

Then we received great tips on business and products! Were able to learn about the updates and new products to help make people's lives better. Then there was the entertainment, which was fabulous and included the Beat Freaks! One of my favorites! It was also wonderful to hear from the Founder,Dr. Myron Wentz!

Larry King, made a guest appearance on the USANA Stage and interviewed Tim Sales. What an amazing experience because Larry King was able to walk away with a better understanding of network marketing and how it is NOT a ponzi scheme!

At the USANA Store I was able to catch up with Tim Haran, Social Media Specialist. It is great when you get to meet in person the people you are communicating with online! Thanks Tim!

Saturday evening the Integritas Group had a networking party. Was able to meet with some wonderful people and catch up with the Dan Macuga, VP of Marketing and Public Relations.

Are you missing out on a wonderful opportunity?

Vitamins and Minerals!

2009-04-27T08:24:00.001-07:00

We know that fruits, veggies and whole grains are key to staying healthy. What are they made of?

Vitamins and Minerals and Antioxidants

Vitamins are needed for life but are not produced by our bodies. They can be obtained from food and supplements.

Minerals are also obtained from food and supplements and are needed so that vitamins can do their job.

Antioxidant vitamins and minerals that feed cells, protecting it from damage.

There are many different types of vitamins and minerals that help certain functions of the body. They all work together to produce and maintain healthy cells.

We need to be aware that we can't obtain vitamins and minerals from our food alone. We are over farming our fields, depleting nutrients from the soil and making poor food choices.

With fast food on the rise, we are eating more processed foods than ever. This type of eating damages the cells. Damaged cells lead to diseases.

Therefore, we need to make healthy choices when it comes to food AND we need to supplement to get the amounts of vitamins and minerals into our bodies to produce healthy cells.

What else to Vitamins and Minerals do besides help with healthy cells?

By having healthy cells you increase your body power, build up your immune system, create more energy, look and feel younger! Diseases should not be part of the aging process!

What do our cells have to do with it?

2009-04-13T20:59:00.000-07:00

From my last post we realize that supplements are important because we are not getting all of our vitamins and minerals from food.

Before we get into what vitamins and minerals do for your body, I think we need to understand our bodies and cells first!

Many people feel that our bodies age, get sick and get diseases. In fact it's not our bodies but our cells. Everyone is made up of 100 trillion cells. We must nourish our cells with the nutriton they need to stay healthy.

Unhealthy cells are damaged and destory other cells in your body. They are called free radicals and this occurs from environmental toxins, smoking, stress, sunlight, pollution, and poor food choices to name a few.

In order to help these unhealthy cells, you need to supply them with Antioxidants. The Antioxidants turn unhealthy cells into healthy cells! Therefore it reduces your risk to aging,sickness and disease.

Where do you find antioxidants?

Fruits, veggies and organic food. Also high quality nutritional supplements!

You need a supplement that is absorbed in your body and not one that stays undissolved from the time it enters the body to when it exits.

Therefore, NOT all supplements are the same! You need to arm yourself with the knowledge to determine if what your taking is good for you or not.

Listen to your body. Your health is the most important thing in your life.

Next you will learn about vitamins and minerals followed with how to choose a supplement that works the way it is supposed to.

To Your Health,
Stacy Stehle

Are you taking supplements?

2009-03-27T18:37:00.000-07:00

I have recently been hearing people say, "I don't need to supplement, I eat healthy!" That is great that you are eating healthy. There was a time long ago, like a 100 years, when we probably didn't need to supplement.

Today, with our fertilization methods and over-farming, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants are no longer in the soils as they once were. Because of this, they don't get to the plants and they are not reaching our bodies through food.

In order to get the amount of one nutrient, vitamin E, from food, you would need to consume 28.8 lbs of spinach everyday. Remember, that is just one nutrient. I like to eat but not that much of several different nutrients.

The American Medical Association reversed it's stance saying that "it would be prudent for all adults to take a multivitamin."

So, Do you supplement?

Keep a look out for my next post when I explain what vitamins and minerals do for you!

To Your Health,
Stacy Stehle

Invest In Yourself

2009-03-26T07:00:00.000-07:00

In this day and age, do you feel that if something were to happen in your current situation that you have the security to help you continue your life as it is?

Do you have a plan or a back pocket of residual income (thanks Patti Roney for this great concept) to keep up your life as you are currently living?

Have you ever asked yourself, WHAT IF?

I started my security and back pocket of residual income 2 1/2 years ago. If I would have found this concept earlier I know that I definetly would have jumped on board.

What do I mean my residual income?

When you do the work once and you get paid for that work over and over again.

You may currently love what your doing and I applaud you for that! That is fantastic! Do you have a plan? A lot of my friends and family thought they had a plan. Working years for a company, putting away money in savings and now they are unsure of that security. They really don't have a source that keeps the money coming in no matter what the situation. If they stop working, they don't get paid and money doesn't get put into their savings.

This is the time when you need to Invest In Yourself! You need a plan! Learn how you can to this by going to http://stacyastehle.net

I look forward to helping you!

Can you REALLY Recession-Proof Your Business?

2009-03-08T12:10:00.000-07:00

Whose side are you on?

One side says the economy is getting worse every day. It's only going to get harder. You are crazy if you think you can succeed in business right now. You are even crazier if you think you can have prosperity!

They are saying that we are all going to hell in a hand basket...and there's nothing you can do about it.

There is also another side. On this side, you will hear a voice that has struggled through the cries of doom like a beacon of light. This voice started off soft, raging against the current of logic and fear.

It is the voice that says, “You can create your own reality. Whatever is going on around you doesn't have to control you”.

It is the voice that says one person has the power to affect change. One person has the power to affect the Universe.

This voice - the voice of Spirit manifesting as the voice of the Spiritualpreneur - has gotten louder, and it is calling out to you today.

What Are Your Emotions Like?

2009-02-25T11:40:00.000-08:00

Being a fan of The Secret and books like Ask and It's Given by Esther and Jerry Hicks, I have come to realize that your emotions and feelings are a great indicator of whether you are on the right path to receive the things that you desire.

In order to get what your are truly looking for or to change your life around you need to be aware of your feelings.

Having a good feeling or being in a good mood allows the energy to flow to you and the things you want will come to you faster. It makes sense because if you want to get what you desire you also want to be happy doing it!

If you are in a bad mood or have feeling irritated or angry, you will only draw more of that into your life. If you notice, when in that mood, you will have more bad things happen to you. The law of Attraction!

What are you emotions like?
Check yourself throughout the day. If you are finding that you are in a bad mood, change it around.

How do you change your emotions?
Think of something that makes you happy. Feel the temperature, see the colors observe what you can. Get yourself back into a good mood.

If you would like more information on this, I highly recommend the book Ask and It's Given by Esther and Jerry Hicks. They give great examples of how you can improve on a good mood and change a bad mood to start allowing yourself to receive what you are asking the universe for!

Get more of what you want! Be Happy!

Team Work Is What We Need!

2009-02-12T07:57:00.000-08:00

Just the other day I had a conversation with a gentleman. We were talking about the economy and he felt that people are only out for themselves. Nobody wants to help anyone!

I am sort of seeing this with people I know who have worked with larger companies. They have been at their jobs for a number of years. They work hard, come in early and stay late sometimes to get the job done. They do what is asked of them and even more. Then because the economy has slowed, the company rewards these hard, dependable workers with a reduction of working hours or a layoff. How do they support themselves and their families?

This is the time when people need to work together! We need team work! You achieve what you want when you are able to get other's to achieve what they want.

Network Marketing is a great learning experience for anyone. It has shown me how to take control of my life by becoming a leader. Learning how to help other's find their true potential. I have also learned how to build stability in my life. The only way to succeed in Network Marketing is to build a team of people that have a common goal of helping others! The education that you will receive is priceless!

Past experiences have also shown that this is the time when Network Marketing booms!

This is what we need in this economy. We need to stick together and use team work. We don't need to feel that we are all alone and there is no way. We need hope and encouragement. The path may not be easy, especially for those who are taking a huge step out of their comfort zone but you will find that you have support. People within your team have more then likely been on the same path, sometime in their journey.

Let's build up this economy, build great teams that help each other acheive their goals!

Some Great News In This Economy

Take control of your life! It is up to you!

This is your year to shine!

2009-01-19T07:14:00.000-08:00

We are about half way through the first month in 2009! Everyone starts the year with New Year Resolutions. By the 3rd day, most people are back to their regular habits and have broken their resolutions.

I don't know about you, but I feel that this is the year of CHANGE. I love my myself, my family, my friends but I know that my life can be better! I WANT better! I am really big on positive thoughts, affirmations and believing that YOU create YOUR life. If something needs to change in your life, then it has to start with YOU!

Change is hard, it is tough. If it were easy, then don't you think everyone would do it? The first place to start is by giving GRATITUDE! If you start with that in the morning, you will notice that your day will be enjoyable. Use gratitude throughout your day. When your head hits the pillow at night, be thankful for all you have and all you will have.

It is also easier to take little steps to changing your life. For instance, if your looking to improve your health....make better eating choices, add some exercise into your week or start by taking a good nutritional supplement. You don't have to eliminate all the bad things at once. My making these small steps you can work toward making bigger steps as you go.

Another thing to do is make GOALS! Some might think, yeah but I never stick to them. I don't want to set goals because I don't want to fail. Don't worry! Goals are there as stepping stones to get you to where you want to be. Something to strive for. Start small, again and set a goal that is easy for you to obtain but also pushes you just a little bit out of your comfort zone. If you don't hit your goal within the period of time, re-adjust and re-focus. That is what goals are about. You also want to see your goal as if you have already accomplished it and achieved it.

Lastly, you need a POSITIVE SUPPORT SYSTEM. Hang around the people that make you happy. Not the ones that bring you down, put you down or put you in a bad place. Let other's know what you want to accomplish and if they are willing to go the way with you and help you...those are the people you want to be around.

Live your life the way you want. If you want change, it is up to YOU! New Year's Resolutions are about change. You can do it.

If you recently lost focus, start with gratitude, re-adjust your goals and find your positive support system!

For those who are determined to change their lives and have continued to stay focus, I congratulate you! Way to go!!!

This is the year to SHINE!

Get your downline over the fear of talking to people!

2008-12-02T07:12:00.000-08:00

I've got a solution for you - a solution that is going to help you and your team members in a BIG way, to get over the fear of talking to people.

And you can get the solution right now for free, by listening to my November/December Training Call, which I just put on my website.

Fear is actually one of many mannerisms that can give you a flunking grade when it comes to talking to people.

If you are nervous, or you talk too fast, or you sound rehearsed, or you can't make eye contact...well, let's be honest here. If you do any of these things, your prospects have a really hard time listening to what you say.

That's why I spent more than an hour on this training call, sharing the details that will teach you how to get over fear and other major obstacles that cause network marketers to get sweaty palms, lose their train of thought, and forget what to say.

On this recorded training you will discover:

• The seven things that will help prospects understand you better and follow your communication easily.

• How to completely get over the fear of talking to people. I even share my own personal journey of what I did to stop fear from ruining my presentations.

• The one essential thing I do that makes or breaks a professional presentation.
And don't forget to catch the BONUS material which includes:

• My recommendations to Mike, who promotes A LOT but doesn't have a very good sign-up ratio. Listen in as I help debug his prospecting challenges.

• My advice given to Talak, who uses a voice mail system for leads. Plenty of leads call the number but very few leave messages. Listen in as I give my input to help Talak get better results.

Plus six other bonus conversations, addressing current challenges that network marketers just like you deal with on a daily basis. They are not to be missed!

Tis the Season to be Networking! Falalala lalalala

2008-11-22T16:23:00.000-08:00

Can you believe it? The holiday's are knocking at our doors. Where did the time go? What a wonderful time to hangout with family and friends! Catch up with them and see what is going on!

This is a great time for your business. Talk with the people you know and the people you don't know, work on your communication skills and also find out more about them.

Dig a little deeper, find out their interests and maybe a way you can help them jump start their goals in the New Year. Not to mention creating ideas of health for their Holiday gifts!

Let them speak! Take all their information with you and when you get back home you can follow up with them and share some great information that might help them achieve what they are looking for!

My team and I are having Health and Wellness Spa Seminars and networking parties all the way up until the New Year so that we can bring people together and share this wonderful gift, USANA.

Also incorporate giving "True Health" to people in the form of sampling out products. It is a great way to create curiosity and interest. You do have to make sure to follow-up with your potential prospect!

I hope that everyone enjoys the Holiday Season!

To Your Health!!

How to Grab and Hold your Prospect's Interest

2008-11-19T13:52:00.000-08:00

In last month’s newsletter and training call I discussed how to present to your prospect without being too shy or too pushy. This month’s newsletter is all about communicating easily - which has to do with you being a sharp presenter, and presenting with professionalism.

Not winging it… but also not sounding rehearsed. No fumbling over your words. No being out of breath because you’re scared. No apologizing for being scared. Simply put, being a confident and professional presenter who delivers good content effectively.
Sound hard to do? It’s not.

Unfortunately too many people in the M.L.M industry don’t take the time to learn a few simple concepts. In presenting, right or wrong, your prospect will judge you, the business and the M.L.M industry based on how you present. Is it any wonder the industry has a public relations black eye? Too many presenters in M.L.M “wing it.”

Communication Quality number five is Communicate easily— no tension, strain,
fakeness, sounding rehearsed, stuttering or hesitating. If there were a word that defined this Communication Quality it would be articulate. Which means: 1. to express oneself clearly and coherently; 2. to pronounce distinctly;

I’m not talking here about using perfect English. I can not claim to have mastered this Communication Quality from an English professor’s viewpoint. But I have mastered it enough to communicate to my audience. Sometimes things said with perfect grammatical correctness make no sense to the person you’re talking to. No, I’m talking about true communication – which is articulating words so they make complete sense to the person you’re talking to. If you’re speaking to a typical teenager in perfect English tongue – they will think you’re an idiot.

There are several things that cause you to speak easily and clearly. I will go into depth on these topics on the training call. I’m just mentioning and defining them here, because if I wrote everything about them it would be a 10 page newsletter! Here’s a list of things you need to be aware of that will cause your prospect to pay attention to you and truly learn from you.

Vary the speed of your speech

Your speed of delivery must vary – meaning you have parts of your presentation that are faster and other parts slower. Why? Because this is how you stress importance. I’ll go into details about this on the conference call.

Vary your voice tone and volume

A varied tone of voice and volume are very important if you want to keep your prospect’s attention and have them understand what you say. It’s what gives your prospect a clue about what is important and what is very important.

Create strategic pauses

Extremely effective so the audience feels that you are speaking right to them.

Use set-up words and sentences

Set-up words are words you say that prepare your prospect for what you’re about to emphasize. Like if I were to say, “If you learn nothing else out of tonight’s presentation…” that would be a set-up sentence to emphasize what I’m about to say.

Build bridges

Another topic is the use of what I call bridges. Bridges are words and or sentences you use to transition from one topic to another. When you’re shifting topics – you need to use a bridge – otherwise your prospect doesn’t follow you and there’s a gap. Many prospects get lost in this G A P between topic 1 and topic 2. It’s not that they don’t understand topic 1 or 2, it’s that they didn’t hear you move from topic 1 to topic 2 and they don’t see how the two topics relate.

Be easily heard

You need to communicate with a volume that each person you’re talking to can hear easily but not so loud that it causes the prospect to feel you’re shouting at them.

Make frequent eye contact

Make frequent eye contact with individual people. I used to practice this at my kitchen table with stuffed animals. I would talk to one animal sitting at the table and then to another one. If you’re talking to a husband and wife, you should talk directly to the wife for 5-10 seconds and then directly to the husband for 5-10 seconds. When speaking to 10,000 people, you look at ONE person and talk to them for 5-10 seconds then pick out another person. Never talk to a crowd.
When I complete talking about these sections on the training call I’m going to cover FEAR! Because if you are afraid you will not be speaking easily!

Please reply with any questions about ANY of the subjects I’ve written about. Your questions and comments help me to understand exactly what your thoughts are about this subject so that I can better talk to you and give you what you need. Do you have any questions?

MLM Training: The Strongest Prospect Magnet is Great Promotion!

2008-11-06T17:07:00.000-08:00

By Tim Sales

The worst thing you can ever do in your MLM business career is to think, ponder, worry or even get the idea that it’s unprofessional to promote! Here are some MLM training strategies for generating your own MLM leads, even if you’re on a tight budget.

Prospects are basically the foundation of any business as they are the - potential customers to the business. So just how do YOU find MLM prospects?

Let’s start out with a definition of the word promote which is the most important word in finding prospects for your MLM Business. The word promote means: to make known.

I was recently doing some MLM training with a person in my downline. She needed some help with her business, which was not growing. As I asked various questions I finally found the “nasty bug” that was stopping her network marketing business from moving forward. She didn’t want to come off as being or sounding sales-y. This stopped her from promoting.

How does everyone else promote?A politician promotes how he/she can make a whole community’s life better - so he’s/she’s making herself known to the public by promoting and making known to as many people as possible what he/she can do for them. If you’ve noticed, politicians promote on TV, radio, signs stuck in the grass or on telephone poles along a busy street or maybe speaking at various group meetings.

A college promotes what courses it offers. It might promote on radio, might promote to high schools or through sporting events. A stockbroker promotes that he can help his/her prospect make money. A local restaurant will promote via radio, or mailing brochures or discount coupons.

The worst thing you can ever do in your MLM business career is to think, ponder, worry or even get the idea that it’s unprofessional to promote!

You really need to know and understand promotion. The only way you can have prospects, therefore customers or distributors - is to promote. The only way for you to make money in network marketing is to promote. You can write down your dreams and goals and study them every night. But you’re as effective as a billboard in the middle of the desert. No one knows you exist until you make yourself known. So if you ever find yourself where your business isn’t growing or you don’t have enough prospects, enough customers, or enough distributors - what do you do? Promote!

Why do you promote? The reason you promote is to create desire for your product. If you don’t create a desire for your product, it’s very difficult to achieve MLM success. How would you know that someone desires your product or business? Well certainly if you sent a post card and someone called the number - that’s someone showing desire in your MLM Business. Even if a person called and asks, “How much is this?” It would still be someone showing desire - or at least slight interest. If you called a friend and asked them to look at something and they said, “Send it to me.” That’s showing a desire. People sometimes refer to desire as “responses,” as in, someone responded to my promotion.

Different types of promotion

So now let’s talk about different types of promotion that create desire. You could promote your MLM Business in:
1. The Help Wanted, the Sales & Marketing or the Business Opportunity sections of a newspaper,

2. Advertising section of magazines,

3. Direct mail, such as sending out post cards to everyone in your zip code,

4. Door hangers,

5. Email, banner ads on the internet,

6. Networking. I’m sure you could have guessed that I would name that one. But you would be surprised at how many people, when mentioning all the ways to promote, miss that one. In fact, if you use traditional promotion with the mindset of just finding a network of people to work - you will fare far better than most who only measure their responses with how many people respond to their advertisement. You can turn one response from a promotion into thousands if you properly network.

One other place to find prospects for your business is to promote to MLM leads you purchase from a lead company. The advantage of this is you’re only paying for those who’ve responded and you’re not paying for all the people who didn’t respond. If I send out 10,000 post cards and get 20 responses, then I paid for 9,980 post cards that didn’t get a response.

The advantage of writing your own ads of course is being able to target your specific audience with your specific product or opportunity message. Which is VERY important and should not be underestimated. In contrast, when you buy leads, you’re buying general ads - perhaps people who’ve responded to wanting a home based business. The other down side to buying leads is that very often, lead companies resell their leads to more than just you - so you’ve got extra competition to deal with.

Three broad ways to promote

Now, it probably sounded like I just contradicted myself; I didn’t. I just saved you years of running in circles trying to figure the advantages and the disadvantages to generating your own leads or buying leads. This is the game. You must promote. There are three broad ways to promote.

1. Networking- which costs the least - you’re going to have costs of meals with prospects - costs of joining clubs and associations. So I have rock climbing club fees, I have mountain climbing association fees, horseback riding fees, mountain biking fees- these are like $50 - $100 dollars a year.

2. Buying leads is more expensive than networking, less expensive than generating your own - but has some advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes you get some hot leads - sometimes, you swear you’re calling a graveyard.

3. Generating your own. Most expensive, but has the advantages of targeting your prospects.

Here’s a list of advertisements that I’ve run to promote my own MLM business opportunity.

* Some people earn Ten thousand dollars a year. And some people earn One million in the same year. Click here to see difference.

* Need more money; NOW!

* Does it ever break your heart to leave your kids at daycare?

* Looking for a FUN business?

* Go to the golf course when it’s not crowded.

* The truth about making money. A lot of it.

* WEALTH FORMULA. Click here (banner ads)

* Wealth formula that takes a lot of effort - but retires you in 4 years.

* Extremely well paying position available to right person. Must have sales & marketing experience. Sales training a big plus.

* Immediate Need for Effective Sales Person. Unlimited earning and growth potential. Self-starter, sales writing skills and team player will be keys to success in this growing, high tech organization. Will be responsible for generating sales leads, preparing and giving presentations on company products and training sales team for development company. Great benefits. Great FUN TEAM! Fax resume to:

Be “in” business

The bottom line is you must be using at least one of these three methods to achieve MLM success. If you’re not, you’re not in business - you’re out of business. What you should be doing, if you see the big picture and want the very big income is you need to be doing all three. All the time. Ideally you start out by networking, which will create enough money to buy MLM leads, then you’ll generate enough money from the leads you purchased to generate your own leads. My point is, as soon as you start making any money, reinvest it in promotion.

One other MLM training tip: don’t measure your success by just your immediate responses. Any marketer who is of any value knows that how you measure return on promotion investment is based on the “life of the customer.” NOT immediate return. Get one leader from a MONTH or 6-MONTHS of promotion and it can pay you for the rest of your life. People often ask me, how much money did you make your first year in network marketing- I tell them, “I don’t know, I’m still earning it.”

MLM Training - Why Prospects Disappear and How to Get Them Back

2008-11-01T18:16:00.000-07:00

By Tim Sales

Over the past several months I've received many questions with a similar theme. Each of these questions leaves me a clue as to what's going on...what you're doing and what you're not doing.

The questions start off explaining that you're doing everything I taught you in Professional Inviter, specifically, you GREET correctly and the prospect talks with you in a friendly manner and then you move to the QUALIFY step and the prospect tells you what would make their life better. You INVITE them to look at a video and just like some of the live calls you heard me do they are eager to watch the video and you CLOSE THEM TO ACTION by getting the specific date and time to FOLLOW UP with them. Both of you happily hang up the phone and then POOF, the prospect vanishes.

What did you do wrong?

You start backtracking through everything in your mind trying to figure out what you missed and what you possibly could have done wrong. You felt such a great connection with the person - surely they wouldn't avoid your call. Surely they would at least have the decency to say they're not interested, if that's the case. But maybe they had an emergency come up and simply couldn't come to the phone. Maybe you got the time wrong - maybe you said 8 pm but thought 7 pm.

This is all NOISE in your head.

If you do not follow my FOLLOW UP procedures exactly, this noise in your head could destroy your confidence and walk you backwards right out of the business. I cover this in detail in Professional Inviter (www.ProfessionalInviter.com in the Follow Up section) along with letting you hear live calls. But here, I will outline the procedures and why they are so important.

DAY OF SCHEDULED CALL
On the day of the scheduled follow up call - call them exactly when you said you would.

If they do not answer the phone - leave an upbeat message something like this, "Hello Mark; this is Tim Sales. I'm calling you at the scheduled time. You can give me a call at 801.222.2222. Let me give that number to you again 801.222.2222. I'll also try to reach you as well because I'm going to be out and away from my phone for a while. I look forward to talking with you and finding out what you thought about the video. Bye bye."
You can call them one more time today provided it's not past 9pm. If you do call a second time, don't leave a message.

DAY 2
Call them one time. Leave a message, "Hello Mark - this is Tim Sales. I'm just trying to catch up with you. I'll try you later or you can call me back. 801.222.2222; again 801.222.2222."

OVER THE NEXT 7 DAYS - CALL 3 TIMES
Only leave a message on one of those calls.

OVER THE NEXT 7 DAYS - CALL 2 TIMES
Only leave a message on one of those calls.

OVER THE NEXT 7 DAYS - CALL 1 TIME
If cold market: Leave a final message, "Hello Mark; this is Tim Sales. I'm calling you to let you know that I won't be calling you again. I'm taking you not returning my call to mean that you're not interested - which is fine because I really just wanted to help you get ______. If you want to pick this up at another time I'd be happy to help you. I wish you well Mark, bye bye."

If warm market: Leave a final message, "Hello Mark; this is Tim Sales. I'm calling you to let you know that I won't be calling you again concerning the business. I'm taking you not returning my call to mean that you're not interested - which is fine because I really just wanted to help you get ______. Mark, I sure hope that me inviting you to look at ______ didn't in some way violate our friendship. If it did, please let me know because I definitely want to make that right. Your friendship to me means more than anything we could ever do business-wise. If you'd prefer to email me, my email is _______. Please do get in touch with me, bye bye."

Why you MUST do this...
You need to follow this exactly as I laid it out because it's what got the best results for me and people joining my downline. Sure, you could not call them again after their "disappearance" - but you'd be missing out on some that would have otherwise joined your business after a bit more objection handling.

Also, you need to leave a "final" message so that YOU can move on and your PROSPECT can move on.

You see, when you have something incomplete (such as two people who scheduled an appointment but didn't have the meeting) - you will keep bringing it up in your mind over and over again - this is damaging to you because it continually keeps you looking at that event "wondering." The prospect also has something incomplete in that they know they made a commitment they didn't keep. Now, they may justify their actions with "they'll take the hint" or some other such thoughts but the mere fact that they have that thought is enough to know that they too are incomplete.

By you leaving a final message which concludes the event for both of you - both of you can move on. I'd say 1/3 of the time that I've left a final message, I've gotten some kind of call back apologizing for them not calling me back. Many times they claim it was because they "got busy." It honestly doesn't matter what happened. You're doing this so you can fully move on.

So, earlier when I said that your questions leave me clues to what you're doing and what you're not doing - the questions surrounding you being upset about people going "poof" on you told me you're not doing sufficient follow-up and not leaving final messages.

Just try it - you'll see that you really will recover some of those who disappeared and you really will move on when you leave the final message.

P.S. The follow-up sequence is only one small part of what you'll learn in Professional Inviter (www.professionalinviter.com). To know what to do every step of the way, from introduction to distributor sign-up, get and listen to Professional Inviter. You'll increase your confidence and your income.

Five Rules to Follow When Prospecting in Your Warm Market

2008-10-24T07:54:00.000-07:00

By Tim Sales

With these five success factors, you’ll never feel like a pushy sales person and lose the friendship and respect of your family and friends. The MLM training in this article will teach you how to talk about your MLM business with ease and will always guide you to say the right thing.

Forget for a second that you’re in network marketing. What if you were starting any other kind of business like a retail store, a salon, or a construction company? Where would you get your customers? Your employees? How about business partners? Where would you find them?

In one or more of those categories a friend, acquaintance or family member might be the right fit, maybe not. Maybe they know the right fit. Somehow it always works itself back to an acquaintance, a recommendation or a referral. In MLM, this is called your “warm market.”

Life seems to be a series of experiences brought on by connections to other people. Your job as a Networker is to connect the bridges together and move past the disinterested in a professional and honest way, without “pushing.” Most all businesses begin this way.

Your warm market can be one of the greatest resources to your MLM business. Dealing with family and friends can be a blessing or a curse, but if you want your family and friends to continue to respect you, give you referrals, be your customer, and possibly say “yes” to your presentation, I recommend you follow these five simple MLM training tips when working with your warm market.

Rule #1 Hold your tongue. Don’t ever insult someone for his or her decision not to participate with you in your business. Don’t tell someone they’re stupid for not doing business with you, even if it is “the way you talk to your brother.” It’s unprofessional and out of place.

Rule #2 Be wise. “No” rarely means no. That same brother in three weeks or three years could lose his job. If you’ve made a fool out of yourself, not only will he not do the business, he will beat you to all of your friends and tell them about the “scam” you’re in. All of this because “you told him” how stupid he was. That’s not wise.

Rule #3 Deal with it. For 10 years I’ve dealt with objections, concerns, past failures, bad experiences, etc., which have all taught me how to successfully handle these issues. The good news is that all of these objections are resolved and discussed in the “Brilliant Compensation” presentation. Just as an experienced dentist knows that treating teeth is the easy part and the hard part is dealing with the patient’s baggage - like the time the other dentist stuck a six-foot needle in their gum when they were 14 years old. Dealing with these issues is what wins the patient. Once the trust is established you’ve got them for life or until you decide to stop servicing their needs.

Rule #4 Yes or No. Some prospects just take one conversation to be won and some prospects take 10 conversations. (Nine of those conversations resulted in a “No” answer even though “No” was never stated.) If you take the thought process as being that either the prospect says “Yes” or “No,” then you’ll miss the art of communication and networking.

Suppose your company has 20 products. If your prospect says “No”, find out what they are saying “No” to. Are they saying “No” to all 20 products? Are they saying ”No” to “I don’t want to diversify my income?” No to ”I don’t know anyone who needs or wants any of your 20 products?” That’s a lot to say “No” to. I recommend that you find out exactly what your prospects are truly saying “No” to.

Rule #5 Don’t be a bug. Do not ever “bug” family and friends about your company. Sometimes Networkers get extremely focused, which is good, and it should never be suppressed. Focus is what creates “eliteness.” Just be disciplined as to what and who deserves that focus. If it’s a friend or family member who clearly isn’t interested, quit wasting time there and go get in front of people who do want to be a part of your MLM business or a product consumer.

Your warm market is an important part of your business. Abuse it and pretty soon you’ll notice they don’t return your phone calls anymore. Keep these five rules in mind and get the proper MLM training to be effective at communicating with your warm market, and you will see that you can have a successful business and keep the respect of your family and friends.

And there you have it - five rules to follow when working with your friends and family.

How to Create a Magical Connection With Your Prospect

2008-10-17T10:30:00.000-07:00

By Tim Sales

Have you ever been sitting in a restaurant talking with someone and the two of you are so engaged in conversation that it is as though you are the only two people in the restaurant? Better yet - the only two people on the Planet?

How about...

"We're just on the same wavelength" or "I feel like I've known you all my life" - these are phrases that are typically stated when people are trying to describe this magical connection.
Could all these have a common denominator? I believe so. It's that two (or more) people are talking with the same assertiveness level. The word assertive means the force a person uses to make their opinion known.

This is where art and finesse come into my otherwise systematic approach. So when you're presenting your product or your company, how forcefully you communicate to your prospect is what I'm referring to with "your assertiveness level."

In another way of looking at this, picture that you have infinite volume in your voice and you get to choose how loud you will tell your prospect about your company - this is your assertiveness level. If you scream you will probably be using too much assertiveness. If you whisper you will probably be using not enough assertiveness.

If I were to blame only one thing for the less than perfect reputation of multi-level marketing I would blame using too much assertiveness. This subject begs to be understood. I explained a small portion in "Professional Inviter" - but as a presenter you need more skills.

Some people can handle a lot of assertiveness being pushed their way and some cannot! What happens when someone cannot handle much assertiveness? They back away and withdraw from you. What happens when your assertiveness level is not enough for the prospect? They will be bored with you as you lack the conviction they require and they'll walk away from you.

Therefore it is critical that your assertiveness level be approximately the same as your prospects'.There are several methods or strategies to raise or lower your assertiveness towards another person. As I go through this list, keep in mind that I'm teaching you this from two different perspectives - one, I want you to see how you can raise or lower your assertiveness and the second reason I'm teaching this to you is for you to be able to tell what level of assertiveness your prospect is at.

Here are the main methods you can use to adjust your assertiveness level:

Voice volume:

If you speak very loudly, you can easily be too assertive. Speaking very softly, that is, not quite heard by your prospect - will result in you using too little assertiveness. Neither of these are optimum.

Body language:

Your body language includes how you stand or sit. The closer you stand to the prospect the more assertiveness you are using. The further away you stand from the prospect the less assertive you are. Shoulders squared to the prospect - more assertive, talk with your hands - more assertive, lean back when you talk - less assertive and even the color of your suit makes you more or less assertive!

Facial expression:

A strong face with head tilted up with no smile will have more assertiveness than a cowardly look with head tilted down. We all know how to look mean, angry, happy, sad or surprised - we all know these emotions we wear on our faces... well, each of these contributes to your assertiveness level.

Direct or dispersed words:

This has to do with the aggregate number of words you use to say something. If someone asks you a question and you reply, "NO", it's much more assertive than if you were to answer, "Well I see your point but I've not really seen that over the long term." Your answer is the same - no. But the assertiveness level is reduced or dispersed.

Timing:

There are many "time frames" you should be aware of when presenting. I will go into depth on this on the upcoming conference call. This one may explain why the prospect "was interested" and "now they're not" - what happened!?

Repetition:

Repetition is the number of times you repeat something or the frequency with which you repeat something in a given time frame.

Hopefully you can now see that there are several things that go into having or using the right amount of assertiveness. Please join me on the upcoming conference call (scheduled for Wednesday, October 22nd at 9 PM Eastern) and I will explain this very crucial subject for you in detail so you know how to adjust your own assertiveness to your prospect's easily.

I'd like to know what questions or comments you have about this topic. If you consider yourself "shy" - please tell me why. If you feel you sometimes "come on too strong" - please tell me why.
Leave your comments and questions at the end of this article at www.brilliantexchange.com and I will discuss them on the free training call:

Respectfully,
Tim Sales

P.S. Don't forget that to be a good presenter, you first have to be a good inviter. If you don't already have Professional Inviter, I urge you to get it now so you too can have results like these: "Since using the techniques espoused by Tim, my sponsor rate has increased to 70%. That's pretty good in my book." - Bruce Rouse

A Great Learning Tool

2008-10-17T07:08:00.000-07:00

I am reading the book, The Business School for People Who Like Helping People by Robert Kiyosaki.

I highly suggest that you read it or like Robert Kiyosaki suggests, if your wondering about network marketing, it is also a great book to read.

For me, I am already in network marketing. Most of you can tell from reading my blog! This book just reinforced the fact that I have chosen the right path for me. This industry is a great way to get ahead in life and to grow as a person.

Training is very important with a network marketing business. When looking for one ask them about their training programs. If you get the right training you will succeed. However, you do need to put in the effort. By no means is this a get rich quick scheme. Robert suggests giving it 5 years!

You will definitely grow as a person, develop skills to improve your business and life and also over come your fears. Most people fear. They fear stepping out of their comfort zone. They fear of failure. They fear of selling.

However, everyone sells. I also learned this from Tim Sales. What is the difference between sales and communication? What do you do when you go for a job interview? You communicate to them that you are best for the job. You sell yourself. What do you do when you meet a person you like? You communicate with them, don't you share information about you? You are again selling yourself and they are doing the same to you.

If you have never failed, then you are not growing. You learn from your mistakes. Great leaders have failed. It is not the end of the world. I used to always want to be perfect. Say the right thing, do the right thing, never wanted to make a mistake. This book reassured me that it's OK to make mistakes because you learn from them and you also improve as a person.

If you're not learning your not growing! Take time for yourself.

Our 1st Health & Wellness Spa Seminar

2008-10-16T07:51:00.000-07:00

Last night my business partner, Rose and I conducted our 1st Health and Wellness Spa Seminar. This seminar was created by Carmen Marshall. She has had great success with it and has shared her information with everyone in USANA!

We are so blessed to have this opportunity!This seminar was a huge success. It allowed us to be creative and to have a fun time while sharing with our guests Dr. Wentz's Vision, USANA Health Sciences and the amazing products that have helped so many people in so many ways.

At the seminar, we gave the wonderful opportunity to sample Sense Beautiful Science. A paraben and chemical free, self-preserving skin care line with a shelf life of 2 years. There is nothing in the world that compares. Literally!

Our guests took home the wonderful product on their skin but also more knowledge of how we need to protect ourselves from disease and how our cells, skin and eating play a huge role in that.

Rose and I have made it a mission to share with others this wonderful information and will be having a Health & Wellness Spa Seminar once a week! If you haven't been to one, you need to check it out. It is very educational and I am certain you will take some of that education with you!

To your health!

MLM Training: What Leaders Do

2008-10-13T19:06:00.000-07:00

By Tim Sales

Having trouble getting your downline to be motivated, productive and follow your MLM training guidance and suggestions? Here’s 29 proven actions successful MLM leaders do, written by a leader with a downline of 56,000 people.

1. A network marketing leader doesn’t wait until he/she gets a large group before becoming a leader. It can’t work that way, because you would never get the large group if you’re waiting to be leader first! Nor does the leader wait until they feel they possess the knowledge to lead - rarely they do.

2. At events, the leader arrives early and reserves chairs for their entire group on the front row. What I’ve found is that there are very rarely more than two leaders in any room. Please understand what I mean by this. Once a person gets to a certain level of success they will stop doing these simple leadership things because of ego. They suddenly become “too knowledgeable” to sit and listen to a speaker that has less time in the MLM business than them. If you remain humble and hungry the world is yours. So is the front row, by the way.

3. A true leader realizes that there is a difference between being a leader and being a leader of people. More on this later.

4. Network marketing “works” under many conditions, but when those relationships between you and your organization become tight and a “esprit de corps” is created, there’s nothing like it. I do mean nothing.

5. Appearance is impeccable. Even in jeans.

6. A leader “appears” organized, much like ducks cruising smoothly across the water, however, no one sees or knows how radical and out of control their feet are peddling.

7. Leaders of people treat their people with respect. Respect means you have a good opinion of their character or ideas. Simply put, you are interested in your people - their ideas, their complaints, their fears, their successes - THEM!

8. As a leader you develop or find five “Top Producers.” Devote yourself to them. Find three qualities that you like about each person. Write those in your day planner. Review them frequently, thinking of how you can help bolster one of those attributes. Bolstering an attribute can be many things - from a good verbal acknowledgement, to giving a telephone headset to someone as a gift who is working hard at making calls, to being their friend when they have a personal crisis.

9. New leaders are let down often by those they devote themselves to. Why? Because you selected the wrong person to devote yourself to. You only get good at character choosing with experience. Track record is really the only place to look first. What has the person been doing with their time…and what does the person do with his or her time? Albeit controversial, do not sink yourself if doing so won’t save your mate. Cut away when you feel you’re being pulled under. If you help “able” people, they will help more people. If you try to help an unable person they may sink you on their way down.

10. The network marketing leader organizes MLM training sessions and gets the product or service “specialist” in front of their group - whether it’s in person, on a conference call or on an audio or video. Example: Your company carries a nutrition line created by Dr. Whoever. He specializes in human nutrition and created an ingredient that is in your products that is truly unique. The leader will somehow get that doctor on a conference call with his or her group to raise their belief in the products.

11. A network marketing leader always gives “back” more. Example: Let’s say that there’s a foul-up in processing distributor agreements in your downline. You get the distributors on the phone with a customer service rep that handles the situation. You know that that customer service rep really worked hard to help the situation. Yes, it’s their job…BUT, the leader will send that customer service rep a bag of M&M’s or flowers or something to say “thank you for going above the call of duty.” What do you think that customer service rep will do for your group now? Just about anything.

12. The leader climbs the ladder and finds out who the decision makers are at the company and gets to know them but never bugs them. This is positioning yourself so that opportunity can see you. This is different than you seeing opportunity. Suddenly you find yourself speaking at the convention…hmm, I guess it was just luck. Yeah, right!

13. At the company conventions the leader will introduce the corporate staff to their organization and vice-versa. Even the order takers! Take the time to do this because it creates a sense of belonging for both the corporate staff as well as the distributors. Imagine the difference when a biochemist for a company has met 100 real people with dreams and passions about selling his/her product. Do you think that creates a stronger passion for the biochemist to create better products? Absolutely. All of this “belonging” and “passion” was created because of your leadership.

14. A leader in network marketing is the switchboard of information and communication. They’re not “in the loop.” They ARE the loop.

15. A leader can always be reached by fax, email and or phone. Returned communication will occur in less than 24 hours. If that’s not a possibility the message will indicate that it might be longer.

16. A leader never exposes weakness and fear to their organization. Some view me as being “inhuman” or robotic on this. What I mean by this is that the leader must always maintain their certainty about both the business opportunity and the MLM training system. I’ve never met a person in my life that doesn’t have fear and weaknesses. If you’ve got fears or doubts about your company get over them or get out. Fly to the company today and get your concerns handled. Come back and be a rock for your group. I guarantee they’ll follow you. Conversely, share with them your little uncertainties and they’ll be so relieved that you’re “human” and…they’ll also find another leader to follow.

17. Recognizing that everyone is growing, a leader never invalidates the efforts of anyone in his or her organization. One person brings six guests to a meeting, another brings two, and the third brings none. The leader is able to notice that person number three is there - which might have been a major growth step for them. So instead of criticizing them for not bringing a guest - they praise them for being there.

18. The leader is always searching for and praising something about his or her people. “Little babies love praise, but grown men will die for it.” Men in battle will risk their lives for a 1¼” x 1½” ribbon they pin onto their shirt above their left chest pocket. They wear this ribbon for the world to see. Forgo praise and you’ve missed out on the most powerful tool in your leadership arsenal. Praise for things they’ve yet to do, and you’ll create a person who withdraws from the group because you made them a fake.

19. If you share this list with your group - share whose content it is. If you don’t you will also be guilty of the last sentence of item #18. Seeking praise, respect, fame, etc. for what you didn’t do, makes you feel like a fake.

20. A leader uses and teaches new technologies in their organization - but only if it truly works. Don’t drive your organization down dead ends.

21. Leaders are ethical examples. If you “sneak” your people past the registration table you’ve just ruined their perception of you. They can never trust you and they shouldn’t. You’ve got one shot at doing this right.

22. A leader creates alliances with needed national and international (if applicable) groups to ensure their group has support and representation. If no group exists, build it.

23. Leaders are more concerned about the growth of their people than the growth of their bonus check. Focus on the growth of your people, your bonus check will take care of itself.

24. A leader never says what they can get others to say. Example: My company calls and says, “We’d like you to speak at the company convention.” I accept graciously, and then ask “Would it be possible for me to include a new leader named _________? They’re a good speaker and I would love to share the stage with them.” See, a leader wants his or her people to be leaders.

25. A leader never, ever speaks ill of anyone - even if they deserve it.

26. A leader acknowledges other leaders in the room. “We are honored to have in the room with us Mrs. 77. She conducts business meetings in the 44 area.”

27. A leader doesn’t get bent out of shape because they don’t get a return phone call from the corporate office - or the upline! More than once I’ve sent pizza to a department with special instructions to the delivery person telling them to say, “This pizza has already been paid for by Tim Sales. He asks only that after enjoying the pizza that you call him at 555-3797.” Everyone laughs and guess what? You get a phone call with the right tone in their voice for getting something done. Anyone can complain - they’re used to that. A leader finds amusement in creating more effective forms of communication.

28. A leader has a crystal clear vision about their networking marketing company and where they’re taking it. If the company doesn’t have something, they don’t complain, they figure out how to convince the company to get it.

29. A leader, after reviewing this list will print it out and does at least one item every day.

I sincerely hope this MLM training article has inspired you and given you some things to think about as you lead and build your organization.

There are more, but this should get you started.

With growing respect and admiration for you,

Healthy For Life Nutrition Seminar

2008-09-26T06:56:00.000-07:00

Did you know that 3 out of 4 people by the age of 65 WILL develop a degenerative disease? 50 % of them will develop 2 degenerative diseases! That is scary.

Degenerative diseases include Cardiovascular disease, Cancer, Diabetes, Alzheimers and Arthritis just to name a few!

The best thing is that we can control and prevent these types of diseases!

Attending last night's Healthy for Life Nutrtion Seminar really opened my eyes. I knew about what the world was dying of, but Carmen Marshall educated everyone very well on how we can take control of our lives! We need to be more aware of what we are putting into and on our bodies.

There are 3 easy steps one can take to turn their life around.

1. Take a high quality, pharmaceutical grade nutritional supplement!

You can't just take any supplement off the market.
You need to know what is in it, how it is made and where it is manufacutured.
Most supplements are regulated by the FDA (food and drug association) and they don't require high quality control and they don't require that every table has exactly what is stated on the bottle.
The ingredients on the bottle are just averages of what is inside!
One tablet could have 100 IU of vitamin E and another have 40 IU of vitamin E while the label says 400 IU of vitamin E.
Scary huh.

Taking several different supplements from different manufactures can also be VERY
harmful to you because they don't mix together!

2. Exercise i5-6 times a week!

This is for 30-60 mins and can be as simple as a walk. Don't do anything that you don't like to
do and make it fun!

3. You need to eat LOW Glycemic foods!

These are foods that don't spike your blood sugar levels. They maintain your blood sugar
level so that you don't spike it and you don't drop it at dramatic levels.

When your young you can pretty much eat whatever you want and the weight doesn't seem to
affect you.
But by spiking and droping your blood sugar levels 5 times a day for 20 -30 years your body can't handle it anymore and tells you it can't by putting more weight on especially around your belly.
Your body is not allowing your insulin to regulate your blood sugar like it did when you were younger.
It is tired of working so hard for so many years.
This is how we increase our chances for type 2 diabetes!

By making these changes in your life you will start to improve your living. It starts with us, our habits are being passed down to our children.

33% of children born in America today will develope type 2 diabetes. If your black or hispanic, that number is 50%!

Let's pass down wonderful lifestyle habits to our children so they, as well as us, can live longer, healthier lives!

Eat your antioxidants, Don't drink them!

2008-09-20T20:06:00.000-07:00

Your cells are constantly being damaged by free radicals. Free radicals come from stress, environmental hazards and also from eating a fatty meal. You can begin to rebuild your cells by supplying them with optimal nutrition that they need.

Many people swear by juice products and how you can get all your antioxidants from them. Well USANA looked at them, had them tested and found that their claims weren't so true. So, they came up with a bar that gives you Ten times the antioxidant power then most juice products.

See what I mean ---- TenX Blasts Away the Competition such as Zrii, Xango, Mona Vie, g3, and Tahitian Noni.

The TexX Blast is the best product for your money!

Also check out how the TenX antioxidant bar equals in servings of apple juice, orange juice and coffee!

I have one everyday and so should you! Give your body the nutrition it needs.

To your Health!!!

Health and Freedom

2008-09-12T10:08:00.000-07:00

Last night I attended a local Health and Freedom Presentation in Denver. It just reinforced the fact that USANA Health Sciences is the right company. The presentation was presented by two very professional, personable individuals: Tom Mullen and Carmen Marshall.

There was a training before the presentation that was amazing. USANA has been voted the #1 Home Based Business for 10 years in a row by top Network Marketing Publications. To make it more exciting, USANA has just added 2 incredible enhancements to the compensation plan to make it even easier for the average person to earn commissions by just working on ONE side of their business and also to give elite associates an added bonus for helping others succeed.

In fact, USANA has over 115 people in the Million Dollar Club. What does that mean? These individuals have made over $1 million dollars through USANA. With that huge number, it just reinforces the fact that ANYONE can do this business and make money!

In a regular job setting, people are competing for higher ranks to make extra money, right? There are only a certain number of positions, not every one can be a manager or CEO and make the big bucks. With USANA, you earn the amount you want through your own efforts! Even better, the more you help others achieve success, the more you get rewarded with USANA!! It is a team effort. Everyone helps everyone, even if your cross line.

I happened to be cross line to this team but they welcomed my business partner and I and allowed us to be part of their organization. They open their doors to anyone and everyone. If you give to others, it will come back to you!

Also in the training we heard from their top leaders and what they took away from Convention. It was just amazing to hear about the guest speakers that USANA had: Robert Kiyosaki, Paul Zane Pilzner, Tim Sales, Denis Waitley and Dr. Myron Wentz. The message I took from them was that these individuals have great respect for USANA.

USANA's vision "To manufacture the highest quality, science-based products that people can trust--what is on the label is in the bottle--providing maximum bioavailablity for better health around the world and giving everyone the opportunity for a better quality of life!"

I know that before I got started with USANA, I wanted a better way of life. Not only for myself, but for my family. I followed my gut and intuition which lead me to the path of USANA. You should do the same, follow your intuiton! Help others and help yourself.

Customize Your Nutritional Needs!

2008-09-09T10:34:00.001-07:00

Do you know what your getting?

2008-09-08T07:09:00.001-07:00

About 70% of Americans are taking some type of nutritional supplement on a daily basis. We know that the food that we are eating these days is not providing us the nutrition that our bodies need to stay healthy.

When it comes to a supplement, are you getting what your paying for? Do you know what your getting? Is your supplement actually dissolving in your body or is just passing through?

Most supplements on the market are manufactured to the food standard by the FDA. What does this mean? Lets think about a box of chocolate chip cookies. On the box it might say, 10 chocolate chips. However when you pull out 2 cookies, 1 might have 5 chips and the other might have 12. what is on the box is an average.

That is how most supplements on the market are produced. The label gives a number but one tablet might have less nutrients and another one might have more. Its an average! To top it off, that table might not even dissolve in your body. So then you aren't even getting any nutrients.

I have found a book called "Nutrisearch Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements" by Lyle McWilliams to be very helpful. This scientist looked at over 1500 different supplements on the market and tested bioavailablity, nutrients, etc so that people could make informed decisions on the type of supplement they need to give their cells.

You truly get what you pay for!

USANA Convention

2008-08-16T07:25:00.000-07:00

There are only 11 Days left until the USANA Convention in Salt Lake City, UT.

What an amazing event. The guest speakers are the top of the top:

USANA is a vehicle to "True Wealth and True Health!"

Athletes

2008-08-15T12:16:00.000-07:00

As as I am watching the Olympics, I am admiring the awesome shape, energy and determination these athletes have. They put their bodies through so much to acheive wonderful results. Their goal, a GOLD medal. These athletes have to see it, feel it and go get it!

They also have to be very carfeful of the products that they can put in their body. They get tested all the time to make sure they have NO banned substances in their bodies. Athletes need the best nutriton available for their bodies because of the work they put them through. Most athletes don't supplement their bodies with nutritional supplements because most supplements can't guarantee that the athlete won't test positive. There is one company that CAN make this guarantee and it is USANA Health Sciences.

In fact USANA Health Sciences offers a $1 million athlete guarantee that they will NOT test positive for any banned substances. USANA is the official sponsor of the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour and several other athletes.

Check it out for yourself: USANA and Athletes

If the athletes trust this supplement, why not you. Give your cells the nutrition they need!

Live Green!!

2008-08-07T07:32:00.000-07:00

The environment and how we as people are living our lives today is becoming increasingly concerning to everyone. Some products that we currently use are causing great impact not only on our bodys and our health but and also on the environment. Many manufactures are going "GREEN". They are producing products that are environmentaly friendly. Things that you use in your everyday life.

The rise in gas prices are also having an effect on people. It is becoming increasingly costly to go to the store to purchase items because you will be spending more money just on the gas. A lot of people have turned to the internet. It is an easy way to get your products without the hassel of traffic and fighting people at the stores.

I have found a wonderful website called www.livegreenonthenet.com. You can go there, without the hassel of standing in line, and purchase products that you can use in your daily life as well as protect the enviroment.

You can purchase anything from household items to keep your house and your hands "green" all the way to reusable bags!

This site and these products are a great way to start improving your life and the environment!

Home based business

2008-08-01T12:50:00.000-07:00

With the economy going the way it is...all the foreclosures, soaring gas prices and people losing their jobs, a home based business might be the way to go. There are many benefits to having one.

I got involved with one because I wanted to stay home and take care of my son while still being able to bring income into the home. It totally gives me the opportunity to do just that and more. I am able to work my business around my babies schedule. Not to mention NEVER leaving the house, unless I want too.

I also wanted to make enough money to pay off some of our debt. A home business is by no means a get rich quick scheme. It is a BUSINESS. It requires hard work and discipline but the benefits are amazing. You invest hard work and time into your business at first and it will pay for you as time goes on. That is why I love RESIDUAL INCOME.

I also DIDN'T want a boss. I always hated working for someone else. Having them dictate what time I need to be at work and how long I needed to be there. By working at home I am able to get up, feed my baby, do a little work, play and feed my son again. I have no set schedule.

Then there are the tax advantages. You can write off space in your home, indoor improvements, traveling expenses, meeting expenses such as dinners, etc. The list goes on and on. Check out the book Lower Your Taxes by Sandy Botkin. It is a great resource.

In making my decision of a home based business I wanted something that I would love to share with others. I also wanted a product that would help my family in some way as well as others. With degenerative diseases on the rise and occurring in my family, I wanted to have something that I could trust and product that actually works. That is when I found USANA Health Sciences.

You need a company that you can trust and enjoy sharing with others. My home based business has changed my life in so many ways. Home based business' are here to stay.

Network Marketing

2008-08-01T12:05:00.000-07:00

I never really liked the idea of working for someone else. Even the most rewarding jobs I had always came with bosses. They were the ones telling me when to report to work, when I was to eat lunch and what days I would get off. I think you get the picture.

I was researching one night on the Internet about having a home based business. I came across a video by Tim Sales called Brilliant Compensation. This video changed my life. It showed how working for someone else wouldn't get me where I needed to be.

Before watching Brilliant Compensation, I only knew network marketing from what others had told me. They never had experience in it either. They were telling me information that they had heard from others.

I attended a presentation by Tim Sales and he talked about when researching network marketing, who should you take advice from? Check out http://www.firstclassmlm.com/ and watch his video. It will change your life.

You don't need to be afraid of network marketing! It is an industry that is growing daily..in 2006 this was a $32 BILLION Dollar industry!

Even Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki recommends Network Marketing!

Unfortunately, one will NEVER gain financial freedom from a JOB!
