Plan for a down turn.

2011-12-21T21:01:00.000-08:00

Don’t get caught short if you have a home business.

Plan for a rainy day. Stick some money under a mattress
because there will be times when you need to fall back on it.
House holds will have the fridge, washing machine of car break down.

That is not bad luck, that is inevitable.

With appliances it is called planned obsolescence.
In business it is called the economic cycle which goes up and down every 7-10 years.

Be aware of regional problems and opportunities. An example is the slow down in
European and American economies while Asian and emerging markets are doing well.

You will need cashflow if everything goes pear-shaped or to take advantage of opportunities.
You need to focus on things that are in your control. Make sure you have a
business plan that’s flexible enough to handle everything that you can’t plan for.

Retirement for Australians

2011-11-20T16:32:00.000-08:00

The majority of Australians will outlive their super

A new report from financial services group Deloitte warns that more than
three quarters of Australians won't have enough superannuation to last them
throughout their retirement .

The report also finds that the increase in compulsory superannuation
contributions to 12 per cent - legislation for which was introduced into federal recently -
won't significantly benefit retirees until well after 2030.

In their report Dynamics of the Australian Superannuation System: the next years 2011-2030,
Deloitte finds Australia's superannuation industry will grow in value to more than
$6 trillion by 2030, but the average Australian just won’t have enough to comfortably live in retirement.

So what can you do?The conclusion is inescapable – you have to look after your own financial future.

Increase savings, increase earnings or both.

“How To Make Money From Google Maps”

by Peter Kroesche
Statistically speaking about Google and local search;

Over 2 BILLION local searches are performed online monthly!
Google gets 72% of all online search traffic.
73% of all online activity is related to local content. (Google)
1/3 of mobile search is locally based. (Google)

As you can see this is too good to miss. Either list your business in

Google Maps to generate traffic, get leads and make new sales.

You can charge local companies to get them listed in

Google Maps using the instructions below.

Getting listed on Google Maps is quick and easy.

First: Visit the Google maps local listing link - www.google.com/local/add.

If you don’t have a Google Account, it’s free to sign up for one.

Second: Fill in the form. Google will actually help to create a listing.

For example, it’ll ask you for your country and phone number.

Using this information, Google will quickly search to make sure

you’re not already listed. If not, it will then ask for more information

like website and address.

Third: Add photos and video. You can upload up to five videos

about your self and your business.

Later you can upgrade your listing. There are actually several

things you can do, for free, that help generate interest

in your listing. The first two we’ve already mentioned:

photos and video. Reviews are also extremely valuable.

According to Google, reviews come from three sources,

“reviews written by Google Maps users, reviews sent to us

by third party providers and reviews collected from the web.”

Upgrading your listing is something you can do over time.

Add reviews. Add new videos and alternate promotions.

Google Maps is free and it may

turn out to be a very valuable profit generator.

Also you can learn what attracts people to your business,

Google offers an abundance of information including the

keywords people use to find your business.

Don't be tempted to pay their way.

How real people become rich.

It happens a lot. People say

"I'm broke. I’m really keen to get started.

I want to be rich.

I can't afford a distributor kit. I can't afford your opportunity.

So how do I get started?"

The answer is simple:

First, learn to become a "hundred-aire."

Second, learn to become a "thousand-aire."

and then become a "million-aire."

You see, if they can't learn how to accumulate $100

after years of working, how will they ever have the

discipline to accumulate even one thousand dollars?

It's easier for most people to eat out at restaurants,

play video games, smoke cigarettes, drink beer,

buy non-necessities that are on sale, buy a new car or flat screen on credit,

than it is to save $100.

Until that pattern is broken, even the best

network marketing opportunity won't solve their problems.

So don't be tempted to pay their way.

Help Prospects make decisions.

2011-06-02T16:15:00.000-07:00

Innocent questions that prompt prospects to make decisions – now!

You have had coffee with a prospects.

They have heard the presentation (network marketing, mlm, affiliate marketing)

and now they are afraid to make a decision. They’re thinking:

“What if we fail?”

“We don’t want to make a mistake.”

“What if we make the wrong decision?”

“Let’s think it over and delay any decision until we have to.”

“Maybe we should just take our time thinking about this.”

And they’re thinking . . . and thinking . . . and thinking.

An we are thinking, if they would only make a decision,

any decision, it would be wonderful.

I could go home. They could get on with their lives.

But no. That would be too easy. The prospects insist on torturing

themselves with indecision. They don’t realize that “not making a decision”

is really making a decision to keep things just as they are.

Keeping their lives the same is okay. It’s just that they should be

consciously making that decision.

Here are a few questions that you can ask your prospects.

They’re innocent, non-aggressive questions. These questions will

help your prospects make a conscious decision on what is best for their lives.

1. What will happen if you don’t join our business?

Of course the answer is:

“Nothing.”

But you don’t answer that question. Let the prospects mentally

answer that question for themselves. They’ll probably be thinking this:

“Life will be the same. Tomorrow will look just like today.

We’re going to wake up early, commute to work, come back late,

grab a quick meal, watch a few minutes of television and go to sleep.

Yep, we’re going to get this routine over and over again –

until we’re too old to work.”

Not a very pretty picture, is it? Now if the prospects

choose to leave everything the same, if they

choose to avoid your opportunity . . . that’s okay.

They are making a decision. And that’s all we ask.

Try some of these to see if one fits your style.

2. If you don’t start your own business now, do you see

yourself always working for someone else?

3. What do you think will happen next year if you decide not to

make any changes this year?

4. Do you think your job routine (five days a week,

two weeks of vacation every year) will ever change?

5. I see that you’re kind of stressing out about risking a

change in your daily life. Why not just relax and enjoy your life as it is?

6. You don’t have to make a decision to start your own business tonight.

Instead, you could simply make a decision to not start your own

business and keep your present job routines.

7. You know, you might be thinking, “My daily routine isn’t so bad.

Maybe I’ll keep living this way.” And that’s also a good decision.

Do you think that might be best for you?

All of these questions remind our prospects that the pain of their

problems won’t go away by postponing a decision.

So make it easy for your prospects.

Remind them to make a conscious decision about their futures.

And remember, this technique is rejection-free.

We’re not attached to the outcome.

We’re not responsible for the decisions they make in their lives.

We’re only obligated to give our prospects the choices.

The rest is up to them.

The Customer

2011-03-13T13:28:00.000-07:00

What your customer really wants to hear.

Bill Jayne says it all in this famous quote:

"It doesn't matter what you're selling. Your direct marketing should never
be about the product. It should always be about the prospect."

How much of your current opportunity presentation is about your company,
products, and compensation plan?

How much of your current opportunity presentation is about your prospect?

Great recruiters know that their presentation should be about the prospect's
favorite subject: the prospect.

If your presentation is 100% about your company, products, and
compensation plan - think about including more questions about
the customer.
It works.

Live your Best Life

2010-12-31T13:36:00.000-08:00

My friends,

If you value life, then do not squander time.

For that is what life is made of - Benjamin Franklin

As we enter a new Decade, I just wanted to share some

of the principalsI gathered through the years as a scholar of life.

Just promise me this, after you’ve read this email,

take your self seriouslyand just go out there and take action,

follow through with your words andyou’ll see the universe

unfolding your dreams before your eyes.

This leads me to the first principle I wish to share with you,
this is the crucial check point in your path.

You must know what it is that you truly want

We all think that we know what we want, but think about it.

We aren’t talking about that car or those pair of shoes that temporally

becomes the object of your desires and after the initial “honeymoon”

period has worn off turn into a mode of transport and those shoes

become dust collectors? The moment is fleeting.

Make sure you know what you really want and just to be sure,

ask yourself why you want it and how your life would improve.

You must believe that you deserve it.

You are the only person in this whole world that is responsible for

you reach your full potential and achieve the things you want in life.

You must deem yourself worthy, otherwise you’re going nowhere.

You know you are capable of more than sitting in front of the hypnotic box.

As Napoleon Hill once said:

“There is a sure way to avoid criticism—be nothing and do

nothing. Get a job as a street sweeper and kill out ambition. The

remedy never fails.”

Take Action

Without this principle, 100% of all successful people would have failed.

The universe revolves around a single physical principle that is called

entropy, i.e. energy needs to be added to turn chaos into order.

It sounds deep, but all that it means is that you need to take action,

give your energy in order to bring about the things you want in your life.

The tried and true way to achieving or becoming anything you want
is taking action. If you can figure out a concrete goal to achieve,
consistently take the necessary steps towards that goal and
modify your approach every time you get a setback,
you will be the success that you read about.
This is the formula.
The only thing that differentiates those who succeed and those who
fail is how long you carry on trying.

Go on, go out and achieve, make 2011 the beginning of your
best decade!

Confused mind

2010-12-01T16:13:00.000-08:00

The confused mind always says, "No."

Make your presentation simple. If your presentation is long and complicated,
most people will say "No" because they are afraid of what they don't understand.

I have see this happen and been guilty of this myself.
A sign to look for is when their eyes glass over.
Then you know you have been talking too much
instead of asking them what are their needs and wants.

If your presentation is too simple, your interested prospect will then
eagerly ask you for more information.

The simplest of course is to invite them to watch a DVD, read a brochure
or visit a web site.

Don't forget to follow up. Ask what liked about the information package.

12% of salespeople only make three contacts and stop
Only 10% of salespeople make more than three contacts
2% of sales are made on the first contact
3% of sales are made on the second contact
5% of sales are made on the third contact
10% of sales are made on the fourth contact

The story is told of a Navy commander who sailed his ship
out into the harbour one foggy morning. As they were
heading out to sea, his signalman came and said,
“We’re on collision course with a light.”

The commander then directed the signalman to send
the following message, “On collision course.
Move 10 degrees right.”

The signal came back, “Confirmed. We are on collision course.
You move 10 degrees right.”

The Navy commander with his rank was a little incensed.
He sent back this message, “I am a full Navy commander.
You move 10 degrees right.”

The message came back, “I am a signalman second class.
You move 10 degrees right.”

Finally the commander sent this message,
“I am in a battleship. You move 10 degrees right.”

The signal came back that said,
“ I am in a lighthouse. You move 10 degrees right.”

How many times do we allow our pride to prevent us
from seeing the big picture? How many people stubbornly
refuse to see the writing on the wall of economic shifts and implement a Plan B?

Don’t make that mistake. Keep your eyes open and your
heart humble to safely navigate through life.

Enjoy the Journey. :)

I came across a story by Dr Adrian Wong.

Here is his story called Red Marbles:

I was at the corner grocery store buying some early potatoes.

I noticed a small boy, delicate of bone and feature, ragged but clean, hungrily appraising a basket of freshly picked green peas. I paid for my potatoes but was also drawn to the display of fresh green peas. I am a pushover for creamed peas and new potatoes. Pondering the peas, I couldn't help overhearing the conversation between Mr. Miller (the store owner) and the ragged boy next to me.

"Hello Barry, how are you today?"

"H'lo, Mr. Miller. Fine, thank ya. Jus' admirin' them peas. They sure look good."

"They are good, Barry. How's your Ma?"

"Fine. Gittin' stronger alla' time."

"Good.

Anything I can help you with?"

"No, Sir. Jus' admirin' them peas."

"Would you like to take some home?" asked Mr. Miller.

"No, Sir. Got nuthin' to pay for 'em with."

"Well, what have you to trade me for some of those peas?"

"All I got's my prize marble here."

"Is that right?

Let me see it" said Miller.

"Here 'tis. She's a dandy."

"I can see that. Hmmmmm, only thing is this one is blue and I sort of go for red. Do you have a red one like this at home?" the store owner asked.

"Not zackley but almost."

"Tell you what. Take this sack of peas home with you and next trip this way let me look at that red marble" . Mr. Miller told the boy.

"Sure will. Thanks Mr. Miller."

Mrs. Miller, who had been standing nearby, came over to help me.

With a smile she said, "There are two other boys like him in our community, all three are in very poor circumstances
Jim just loves to bargain with them for peas, apples, tomatoes, or whatever. When they come back with their red marbles, and they always do, he decides he doesn't like red after all and he sends them home with a bag of produce for a green marble or an orange one, when they come on their next trip to the store."

I left the store smiling to myself, impressed with this man.

A short time later I moved to Colorado, but I never forgot the story of this man, the boys, and their bartering for marbles.

Several years went by, each more rapid than the previous one. Just recently I had occasion to visit some old friends in that Idaho community and while I was there learned that Mr. Miller had died. They were having his visitation that evening and knowing my friends wanted to go, I agreed to accompany them. Upon arrival at the mortuary we fell into line to meet the relatives of the deceased and to offer whatever words of comfort we could

Ahead of us in line were three young men. One was in an army uniform and the other two wore nice haircuts, dark suits and white shirts...all very professional looking. They approached Mrs. Miller, standing composed and smiling by her husband's casket. Each of the young men hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, spoke briefly with her and moved on to the casket.

Her misty light blue eyes followed them as, one by one, each young man stopped briefly and placed his own warm hand over the cold pale hand in the casket. Each left the mortuary awkwardly, wiping his eyes.

Our turn came to meet Mrs. Miller. I told her who I was and reminded her of the story from those many years ago and what she had told me about her husband's bartering for marbles. With her eyes glistening, she took my hand and led me to the casket.

"Those three young men who just left were the boys I told you about. They just told me how they appreciated the things Jim "traded" them. Now, at last, when Jim could not change his mind about colour or size....they came to pay their debt."

"We've never had a great deal of the wealth of this world," she confided, "but right now, Jim would consider himself the richest man in Idaho ."

With loving gentleness she lifted the lifeless fingers of her deceased husband. Resting underneath were three exquisitely shined red marbles.

The Moral:

We will not be remembered by our words, but by our kind deeds.

Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath.

Save on YOUR Tax Return
and help others.

If your prospect has a W-2 job, or a small business,
they should know that by starting a home business
with you they can likely save enough on their taxes to
pay for their initial and monthly investment
for a life enhancing product.

Small Business has always been the backbone of our economies,
so, in my opinion, and I assume the bulk of the 100 million plus
Network Marketers who operate Small Home Based Businesses
Understand that the respectable MLM’s companies
will contribute to growth and prosperity.

The more money in circulation and the faster it circulates, the
stronger the economy becomes. Small businesses spend money to make money,
and then they spend more money to make more money.
So, the key to economic recovery is getting lots of businesses started quickly.
That's where we come in.

At the moment it seems like half the world is broke, and the
other half are afraid to spend the money they do have, so how do
we get a bunch of new small businesses going?

Share the benefits

You should always give YOUR PROSPECTIVE RECRUIT the
information about tax refunds that are available to them.
When they agree to start, and to run, a part time home-based business,
to run it with profit intent, and to keep adequate business records
they can find a world of difference in their taxes.

Most Governments world wide say, "If you do that, I'll cut your taxes by a
$ thousands or more every year, starting RIGHT NOW,
and furthermore, I'll let you collect part of your additional Tax Refund
every payday, (pay roll deductions) all year long – that could be
$ thousands per year, for the rest of your "job" working life!)

You must work your business every week, be able to show you're
trying to make a profit, and you must keep adequate business records.

Out of the many tax breaks for home-based businesses, here are some:

1/. Home Office Deduction. $/week
(this may even lets you write-off part of your RENT or mortgage!).

2/. Business-Use of Personal Vehicles (this may be your BIGGEST deduction, particularly if there is more than one person involved in the business)

3/. Hiring your own Children- Now that’s an incentive to make money.

4/. The proportion of your out-of-pocket computer, phone,
internet and stationary expenses that relate to your home business.

5/. Meals and Entertainment (this deduction, with receipts, is totally safe!,
check daily limits)

6/. Combining Business trips with Pleasure trips (vacations can become tax deductions)

7/. Any furniture that you use for your office.

Ask your tax accountant

Exactly what tax breaks are available to home-business owners?

Keep receipts, car log book, record keeping will help bullet-proof your Tax Returns.

Sharing this information with associates will help them see the larger picture
That proactive people see when they begin to develop a business plan.

Sharing information should improve your Recruiting,
Closing and Retention and should help motivated people to
join your business even if they're broke!

Honestly, can you really afford to wait?
The cost of not having a home-based business, and of not
understanding the tax benefits that come with it, is quite large.

P.S.: I use an Accountant, I am not an Accountant. I recommend that
you check this out with your accountant for current deduction and rules.

Let me know some of the benefits I forgot... Appreciate it....

Network Marketing

2010-07-25T14:05:00.000-07:00

Work from Home

Over the years in network marketing, I've worked with and
mentored lots of people. I've seen something consistently
through these years, perhaps you have noticed it to.
Let me digress for a moment.
Some years ago some friends of mine bought a restaurant.
They had to do all the paper work to get approvals and spent tens
of thousands to buy the equipment and set it up. Then buy
supplies, and hire employees. They worked long hours to build
their business. They didn’t have a holiday for two years.
Understand they had to pay a lot for rent, then all the other bills,
like electricity, gas, food and wages before they seen a dollar
come back to themselves. The interesting part is that during those
first two years, they never once considered quitting.
Yes they had some very difficult times and headaches with staff
but quitting was not an option.

Okay, now back to what I've noticed consistently among
network marketers – many have the expectation that their business
should be profitable within a few weeks or months and
if it's not they quit and are on to something else.
Here is the lesson I learned many years ago, that made the
difference between being a network marketing failure
and a huge success - once you have found a solid business, don't quit.
Quitting should not be an option. If it takes you a year to become
successful, so what. If it's 2 or 3 or 5, so what? Think about it for a
minute. What else are you going to do over the next 5 years
that has half the potential to give you the financial return and
time freedom for the rest of your life? Quitting should
not be in your vocabulary or your thoughts!

I know that so often network marketing is portrayed
as a get rich quick scheme. It’s not, think about a newly
planted bamboo or a tree, you look at it every day and
nothing much is happening. The bamboo is laying down its
roots first before doing much above ground.

Here's the key and your part in this picture. You've got to
find the first 2 people who are ready, willing, and able to
get out there and find their 2 people. Continue to work with
them until they are confidently building their business
on their own. If they give up, then enroll another person
in that leg and start again with them - helping them find their 2.
Your job is to get the multiplication down 4 levels.
Now, this is going to take some time, so have a long-term mindset.
Robert Kiyosaki (in his insightful new book,
The Business for the 21st Century)
says that we should have at least a 5 year mindset for
our network marketing businesses. Don’t give up your job or
other source of income, so you can continually re-invest the
profits back into your business. This will result in that
slow growth at first, but later the tremendous exponential
growth bamboo has that will result in you living the
life that most people only dream about!

So, never, never, never, never quit!
Keep talking to new people and helping those who join to
multiply and in time you will have bamboo forest.

Back to the restaurant for a minute. Of the staff my friends
spent years training, 3 opened restaurants in competition.
Now that’s tough.
Another mate with a landscaping business
had the same experience with a trainee starting their
own business in competition.
It happens all the time in real estate to.
In networking if you build a solid relationship,
both of you can benefit.

Have a great day!

Sales Up

2010-06-08T22:42:00.000-07:00

(NaturalNews) Sales of alternative medical products are on the rise in spite of -- and perhaps in part because of -- tough economic times.

According to a study reported in The Daily Mail, the British alternative medicines market has grown by 18 percent in the past two years, to a yearly value of £213 million ($333 million). This value is expected to rise to £282million, or another 33 percent, in the next four years. This increase has been seen across the board, even in less well-known treatments such as traditional Indian ayurvedic medicine.

In the United States, retail sales of vitamins and supplements totaled almost $639 million between October and December 2009, a nearly 10 percent increase from the same period in 2007. Sales of herbal supplements have increased 6 percent. The true scale might even be higher, as the figures do not include sales from Wal-Mart or club stores, where people are more likely to turn when there budgets become more restricted.

This increase is particularly striking given the overall downward trajectory of spending in that same time period.

Success Is Easy

2010-05-26T20:04:00.000-07:00

Success Is Easy, But So Is Neglect by Jim Rohn

People often ask me how I became successful in a six-year period
of time while many of the people I knew did not.
The answer is simple: The things I found to be easy to do,
they found to be easy not to do.

I found it easy to set the goals that could change my life.
They found it easy not to. I found it easy to read the books
that could affect my thinking and my ideas. They found that
easy not to. I found it easy to attend the classes and the seminars,
and to be around other successful people. They said it probably
really wouldn't matter. If I had to sum it up, I would say
what I found to be easy to do, they found to be easy not to do.
Six years later, I was a millionaire and they were all still
blaming the economy, the government, and company policies,
yet they neglected to do the basic, easy things.

In fact, the primary reason most people are not doing as well
as they could and should, can be summed up in a
single word: neglect.
It is not the lack of money—banks are full of money. It is not the
lack of opportunity—America, and much of the Free World,
continues to offer the most unprecedented and abundant opportunities
in the last six thousand years of recorded history. It is not the lack of books—
libraries are full of books—and they are free! It is not the schools—
the classrooms are full of good teachers. We have plenty of ministers,
leaders, counselors and advisors.

Everything we would ever need to become rich and powerful
and sophisticated is within our reach. The major reason that so
few take advantage of all that we have is simply neglect.
Neglect is like an infection. Left unchecked it will spread
throughout our entire system of disciplines and eventually
lead to a complete breakdown of a potentially joy-filled and
prosperous human life.

Not doing the things we know we should do causes us to feel
guilty and guilt leads to an erosion of self-confidence.
As our self-confidence diminishes, so does the level of our activity.
And as our activity diminishes, our results inevitably decline.
And as our results suffer, our attitude begins to weaken.
And as our attitude begins the slow shift from positive to negative,
our self-confidence diminishes even more... and on and on it goes.

So my suggestion is that when given the choice of "easy to" and
"easy not to" that you do not neglect to do the simple, basic,
"easy" but potentially life-changing activities and disciplines.

Quotes and Sayings

Quotes and sayings often grab our attention just for a moment,
sometimes they brighten our day and sometimes inspire us.

Tell us your favourite quotes, sayings or even poetry:-

Ben Franklin said, “Most men die at age 25, but aren’t
buried until age 65!” What he was saying is that we quit
dreaming. Sadly most people die “with their music still in them.”
I have heard it said that “Hell starts when the person you are
meets the person you could have become.” Now that is a scary thought!

Never give up never surrender.
Gimly said it best in Lord of the Rings

Network Marketing, Home Business

Let us look at how to approach friends and family. In every company
I've been with over years, it was suggested to make a list of 100
or more people and start telling them about my business.
First, I want to say that there isn't anything wrong with this.
It's important for us to bring on board our friends and family
first, so they can benefit from the growth of our business.
However,most of the people we know are not going to join our
business, not straight away anyway and you don’t want to drive
them away. So the key is to sift and sort to find those who have a
need and are in the "looking zone" with the least amount of
personal rejection.

None of us take rejection well and I have know many a former
network marketer who introduced their business to five to ten of
their friends and then quit the business feeling totally rejected.
I want to eliminate that possibility in this e-mail by giving you
a proven rejection-proof method for contacting your friends and
family. I was taught this years ago and many experienced leaders
have used it with great success, so pay close attention.

The system is called F.O.R.M. I’m mentioned it before and if
you've been in the network marketing industry for more than a
few years, you've probably heard about it. It's a conversational
educational method that eliminates rejection, because you are not
going to be approaching anyone with your business, until you have
been given approval.

Here's how it works. Call a friend or family member from your
prospecting list and check to see if they have a few minutes to
catch up on life (this can also be done in person). If they do,
begin asking questions based on F.O.R.M. Make sure you do this as
part of the conversation, so they don't feel that you are
cross examining them.

F = Family - ask questions about their family, kids,
activities, health, etc.

O = Occupation - ask questions about their job or business,
commuting.

R = Recreation - ask questions about recent or upcoming
vacations or fun things they have done lately.

M = Money or Motivation - ask questions about investments or
methods they are using to secure their financial future.

You don’t want to be overly intrusive. What you are looking for,
in their answers, are areas of pain. We all want to improve our
lives and the lives of our friends. We all want to avoid all
forms discomfort physical, emotional, financial and increase
pleasure, improve our lives.

Perhaps a family member is feeling run down and may benefit from
trying our product. They might mention that Johnny is playing
baseball, but their job has kept them from seeing any games.
In the occupation area, they might mention that the company is
doing some downsizing and they might not have a job. In the
recreation area, they might say that they can't afford to go on
vacation. In the money area, they might say that they're just
living pay-check to pay-check and don't have any
money to invest. Make notes of these pain areas.

Next, share a few things about your life, including the fact
that you have launched a new business, but don't give them
any details. In fact if they start asking questions, give
them very short answers and change the subject
(by doing this you are creating curiosity)
back to something about them and close the call.

If you found some pain areas, call them the next day and say
something like: "Mary, yesterday when we were talking you
mentioned (list the pain areas). I don't know if this is
right for you or even if you would be interested, but I've
started a new business that just might be the solution for
you in the areas you mentioned and at least I should let
you know about it. Would you like to take a look at what
I'm doing and see what it can do for you and your family?"

Most people will say either "yes" or "tell me more".
In either case, make sure you have a next step in mind -
weekly webinar, teleconference, or live meeting, a web site
where they can gain more info or a personal presentation
with DVD. Make the arrangement for your friend or family
member to see a presentation and then ask them
"What did you see or hear that you liked?" or
"What did see or hear that grabbed your attention?"

Remember you are trying to help them, by offering a possible
solution for their concern. It is all about building long term
relationships not a one off sale.

There you go, a time proven rejection proof method for contacting
your friends and family that will produce tremendous results and
help you build a large network marketing business.

The members of our team, use this system with their friends
and family and it has dramatically increased our network retention.
Of course it helps to have a great company, WOW product, and an
excellent compensation plan. If you would like to know more about

Giveing and Sharing

2010-02-04T16:23:00.000-08:00

Giving and sharing with others is not only an essential
networking technique: it is a fundamental to building
relationships.
Givers Gain. No other two words capture so simply the
power & potential of networking at its best.
By giving to others first you take the first step in building
two-way, win-win networking relationships.
You're being proactive & positive - and professionals
will work hard to reciprocate.

Remember you can also choose not to nurture
relationships that go sour.

Always look to develop relationship that last
instead of fleeting sales.

Whether you think you can, or whether you think you can't, you are right." - Henry Ford

Positive Signs

2009-12-31T14:21:00.000-08:00

Positive Signs for the Year Ahead

In the last week some articles crossed my path, that have the following
positive signs for 2010 for our home based businesses.

1) This past 18 to 24 months of bad economic conditions has
created a positive shift in perception toward MLM /
Network Marketing and more people will want to give it a try in 2010.
Unheard of job losses, pay cuts and benefit cuts have professionals
realising there are no guarantees and better options for security are needed.

2) The internet will see a large increase in usage in 2010. Microsoft
released a study that in 2010 people spending time on the internet will
pass time spent watching T.V.

3) The largest growth of people looking for additional income
streams and spending time on the internet will be the 55 year old + crowd.

As we look to the year ahead we can share these trends and
incorporate them into business growth plans for 2010 and beyond.
Happy New Year &
Let us make this year even better.

Titanic MLM

2009-12-29T12:47:00.000-08:00

Had that sinking Feeling?

Have you heard of the Titanic? At it’s time it was the largest,
most impressive ship on the ocean. It was hailed as the
best luxury liner ever built.

However, it did not live up to expectations. It was not the fault
of the passengers or crew but they stood on the deck of the
Titanic while it was sinking.
If that were to happen, you'd really want to find another seaworthy
vehicle to assist your friends before the icy waters impacted on their lives.

When your ship is sinking, you don't have time to lose.
You must choose a new ship, and choose quickly, before your
business associates and friends start jumping ship and are
lost forever. This is a time for you to show leadership.
Don't jump in the first lifeboat that comes along without
any thought for your friends and associates.
You have to find a boat big enough for everyone.

The good news is that experienced people within the industry
have formulated tried and true guide lines to choose the best
long term grow vehicles.

Choosing the right ship will enable you to save everyone.
Change is not without some difficulties, but it can be
extremely profitable. Select the right company and those
who are leaving the sinking ship will soon forget their misfortunes.
Focus on arriving at your destination in safety and in style.

Bon Voyage.

Attaining your Dreams!

"The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our
doubts of today." --Franklin Delano Roosevelt

This is the main reason people never realize their dreams.
They are afraid to take action and change their lives.
The reality is approximately 95% reach old age at…or below the
poverty level. That being said, if you don't begin doing what the
5% do, then you will live a very frugal old age.

Let us work on your:-
Belief

Do you believe you and your family deserve to have a comfortable life?
Do you believe you can earn the kind of income that will allow
you to live that lifestyle? Can you step outside your old belief system
that has perhaps prevented you from achieving big goals?
Don’t wait for your friends to lead the way, spending another 5 years
Getting no closer to fulfilling your dreams.
“If it’s going to be it’s up to me”.

Change your pattern

What’s been your plan to date? Is the 40-40-40 plan the best you have got? Working 40 hours a week for 40 years to retire and live on 40% or less than what you couldn’t live on to begin with?
You must determine you are ready to make a change in your life.
You must be committed to achieve what it is you desire. You must
have the desire to do better; then follow a plan to get you there.

Attitude
If you are passive, your best bet is to work for someone else…
or CHANGE! Success is 97% Attitude. Be Fearless!
The only people who don’t make mistakes are those who don’t do anything.
Take responsibility and learn to succeed.

A lot of people tell me they want security…my response to that is simple...
“Only you can create Security”. Gone are the days of jobs for life.

Let’s get started, Own Your Life

Booming Market

2009-08-27T13:45:00.000-07:00

Functional foods market worth $27bn +

The US functional foods market will grow by up to 20 percent

or five times that of the food industry as a whole, according

to a new report from Pricewaterhouse Coopers that puts the

market at $27bn in 2007.

Forecasts range from between 8.5 percent and 20 percent,

the finance firm said, compared to one and four percent for

the entire food industry.

Functional foods have grown to the point where they account

for five percent of the food industry, with consumers more

interested than ever in fortified foods – even those whose overall

nutrient profile is variable.

The Pricewaterhouse Coopers report noted consumers were

willing to pay premiums for foods that targeted health problems

or provided an alternative to the likes of soda drinks and

empty calorie snacks. This was so even in hard economic times.

The report comes after research conducted by the International

Food Information Council that found of those Americans trying

to improve their diets, 79 percent are changing the types of

foods they eat, 69 percent are changing the amount of foods

consumed, and 19 percent are changing their use of dietary supplements.

The 2009 Food & Health Survey found that healthfulness,

among other product attributes, is an important factor that

influences consumers’ purchasing decisions. When consumers are

choosing foods for themselves and their children, they are

interested in healthful components.

It's Your Life

2009-08-18T11:35:00.000-07:00

There are 3 types of people in business...

Those who make things happen.

Those who hope things happen.

Those who wonder, what happened?

In all aspects of life we can choose our level of participation.

Ask your self, are you the type of person who looks for people
to blame or do you take charge and look for solutions?

Surround your self with positive goal orientated people
and your ventures will be more enjoyable.

Yoli PreLaunch Opportunity

When searching for the right network marketing company it's
important to evaluate each company by a set of criteria:

Age of Company -
Companies that have been around more than 10 years,
are stable and secure, but you've also missed the
best growth years. If a company is under two years old,
you are taking a big of a risk, but also have the greatest
opportunity to take advantage of the maximum growth
phase. To minimize the risk of a company under 2 years old,
make sure that all the other criteria are met.

Management - It is critical that any company has a
strong management team. They should have a good mix
of successful corporate experience, network marketing
distributor experience, and the ability to successfully
handle money. If the founding managers are self-funding
the company, that is always a good sign, as they are fully
invested and will do whatever it will take to ensure success.

Product/Market - You want to have a product that is unique,
patented, highly consumable, and fits into a major market trend.
If it has a wow factor that's a big bonus.
Companies that are not positioned in front of big market trends,
grow slower. You want to find a company that is in the wellness field
(as it's the hottest market right now, due to the aging of the baby boomers).
If it offers a functional beverage, that's even better as that is
one of the fastest growing segments of both the
beverage and nutritional markets.

Compensation Plan - A plan that takes care of the part-timer, but is also lucrative enough for the big hitter is best. Look for bonuses that pay a person quickly and the bonuses that will help them cover their autoship. A high percentage of network marketers will quit after 90 days if they aren't covering their autoship. Also, you want to have unlimited income potential.

With that criteria in mind, watch the following pre-recorded webinar on a new company called Yoli. ,

Expanding Market

Expanding market of health, beauty
and weight management.

As obesity and health concerns abound, the weight
management market is expected to enjoy double-digit
gains, reaching $726 billion by 2014, predicts a new report.

According to Marketandmarkets.com the medium term
out look for weight loss products, health and beauty
remain the two primary objectives for women –
the primary target segment - when considering weight
management products.

"Health is valued more than beauty as age increases,"
suggests the report, that predicts annual growth of 10.9 per cent
for the global weight loss market between 2009 and 2014.

In 2003, Americans spent $18.8 billion on supplements

kind of dietary supplement.

"Many low calorie food and beverages cannot induce weight loss –
their main aim is only to prevent weight increase,"
comments the report.

How to avoid being dead broke or financially crippled!

2009-06-16T18:25:00.000-07:00

Learn to Live your Best Life

We have all seen them, with a bored or tired look on
their faces, commuting perhaps an hour or more to and
from a job they don’t enjoy only to be two pay cheques
away from bankruptcy. Yep I’ve been there, living for
the Friday night or for the week end.

They didn’t start out this way. People start out with
great intentions to make a success of their life.
A baby fails on average 10,000 times before successfully
walking without falling. That's how determined we were
when we started life. Imagine if a baby tried to walk,
fell over a few times and thought, "this is too hard. . .
I am just going to take the easy option and
crawl the rest of my life!"

By our teenage years we have been told an average of
100,000 times that we are NOT good at lots of things,
that we won't be successful, that we can't do this
and can't do that. Many people have already built an
identity by their teenage years where they are
full of doubt and fear.

We start our working life with aspirations of success
yet 95% of people retire dead, dead broke, or living
off social security or family. 100% of people intended
to be successful but only 5% actually achieved a life
where money and time do not control their retirement years.

Four out of five people who start up a new business
fail in the first 12 months. 80% of those still in
business after year 1 will fail in the next 4 years
after investing significant amounts of money, time and effort.

The point is 100% of people start out with an
INTENTION to be successful in life, in business
and yet the majority do not achieve the life they desired.
How do you avoid being another statistic? "Look at what
everyone else in doing and head in the opposite direction
as fast as you can" was the advice given to me by one of
my mentors and I believe there is a lot of wisdom in
that statement.

If the majority of people are NOT living the life they
desired WHY would you do what the majority of people
are doing? Why would you listen to their advice?
You need to STEP OUT of your comfort zone, do things
differently and take different actions to everyone else.
However be aware that when you do not follow society
you will also have your critics. People may judge you,
criticise you and not support your decision. Often the
biggest critics will be family, friends and those closest to you.
Remember though, critics will not pay your bills, take
you on holidays, and they will not fund your retirement.
It is the decisions and actions you take NOW that will
decide your future. Your current life situation, good or

Longevity Vs. Retirement Age

The pension funds in many large corporations

(e.g., Boeing, Lockheed Martin, AT&T, Lucent

Technologies, etc.) have been “Over Funded”

because many “late retirees” who keep-on

working into their old age and retire late after

the age of 65 tend to die within two years after

their retirements. In other words, many of

these late retirees do not live long enough to

collect all their fair shares of pension money.

Dr. Ephrem (Siao Chung) Cheng provided

the important results in the following Table

from an actuarial study of life span vs. age

at retirement. The study was based on the

number of pension checks sent to retirees

of Boeing Aerospace.

life span vs. age at retirement.

Most Creative Years in the Life

The Nobel Laureate, Dr. Leo Esaki, delivered

a lecture entitled "Innovation and Evolution"

in the University of Texas at Dallas, Feb. 23.

Dr. Esaki indicated that most of the great

discoveries and innovations by the Nobel Laureates

occurred at the average age of 32 even though

the Nobel prizes were awarded 10 or 20 years

afterwards. Furthermore, Dr. Esaki indicated

that the peak creativity of most scientists occurred

around the age range of 20 to 30 years.

As one gets older, the experience increases

but the creativity decreases steadily with the age.

It is, therefore, very important to stimulate,

the cells of your body to keep functioning at

optimum levels, and retire young enough to

enjoy your Best Life.

Give Your Self A Pay Rise

2009-05-25T12:53:00.000-07:00

Who can decide to Give them selves a

Pay Rise this Month?

Yes business owners like your self, can decide to
give them selves a pay rise when ever they like.
In which other system can you earn more than
your supervisor/sponsor. In MLM you can.!

Reading books listening to cd's and attending big
meeting or seminars for your home based business
are great ways to learn the secrets to success.
Some of the best content comes from the people
who are making the most money. There’s nothing
like getting to listen to the top earners in your
business talk for an hour or two about what they
did to get all their success. However, as much great
advice as they can give you there are a few secrets
that most top earners aren’t telling you.

Here are 3 things the MLM pro’s probably
aren’t telling you….

1. They’re working…. HARD!

You don’t get to make 6 figures in MLM unless you’re
willing to put in some serious effort! These guys
aren’t just working 2 - 4 hours a week they’re probably
working more like 8 - 12 every day!
They’re also probably working every single day on their
goals. So if you’re only working 10 hours a week on your
home based business you’re probably not going to get to
the big money as quickly as you’d like. As with any
business you have to put in a lot of man hours in the
beginning. Then after you’ve found your success you can
slack off a little… ok slack off a lot!

2. They’ve thought about giving up

There are many, many rewards to working from home
however there are also a lot of challenges. What the
experienced guys probably aren’t telling you is that
they had the same doubts and fears that you’re having
right now. They probably even wanted to quit at one
point or another. So what separates them from the
people who aren’t making much money? Simple, they
may have thought about quitting but they never did
and they wouldn't have undermined their team with
negative thoughts.!
The good part about MLM is that everyone
has to start at the same place. So for every doubt you’ve
ever had that six figure earner has probably had many
more, they just never gave up!
They focus on their goals and what it takes to
achieve them.

3. They spent money

While there are a ton of free things you can do to build
your business. If you think you’re never going to have
to spend a cent to get rich you’re dreaming. Like any
other business it’s going to require money in order to grow.
You don’t have to spend thousands and be careful not to
waste money but growth requires investing.
Ever heard the phrase it takes money to make money?
It’s true! You don’t have to spend a fortune though.

Decide to get paid what you are worth.
and give your self a pay rise every month.!

Thanks for the Leadership

One of my business mentors the late Bob Schmidt created large

organisations with a number of international companies.

He was regarded in what is now a hundred and ten billion dollar

industry,as one of the world’s top networkers, yet he was an

engineer by profession.

He learnt and perfected his networking skills by reading and doing,

on the job.
I can remember him saying if he and his wife walked away for

a year and spent the time travelling and sitting on the beach,

his business would grow in that year.
He was talking about residual income; build it once,

an investment your family can enjoy for life.
Find a professional network marketing company with a product

that can and is changing lives. (The criteria is on a previous blog)
Then commit massive effort early, create momentum to grow your

business and that of you associates. The reward is compound

growth and dreams turn into reality.

I hope you enjoy these short video’s

Principles on Wealth

2009-04-21T21:02:00.000-07:00

Warren Buffets principles on Wealth.

Our happiness is diluted and our peace is threatened by the financial
illness that has infected our families, organisations and nations.
Everyone is desperate to find a remedy that will cure their financial
illness and help them recover their financial health. They expect the
financial experts to provide them with remedies, forgetting the fact that
it is these experts who created this financial mess. Every new year,
I adopt a couple of old maxims as my beacons to guide my future.
This self-prescribed therapy has ensured that with each passing year,
I grow wiser and not older. I invite you to tap into the financial
wisdom of our elders along with me, and become financially wiser.

• Hard work: All hard work brings profit; but mere talk leads only to poverty.
• Laziness: A sleeping lobster is carried away by the water current.
• Earnings: Never depend on a single source of income.
• Spending: If you buy things you don't need, you'll soon sell things you need.
• Savings: Don't save what is left after spending; Spend what is left after saving
• Accounting: It's no use carrying an umbrella, if your shoes are leaking.
• Auditing: Beware of little expenses; a small leak can sink a large ship.
• Risk-taking: Never test the depth of the river with both feet.
• Investment: Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

I'm certain that those who have already been practising these principles remain
financially healthy. I'm equally confident that those who resolve to start practising
these principles will quickly regain their financial health. Let us become wiser and
lead a happy, healthy,prosperous and peaceful life.

Millionaire Traits

2009-03-25T13:11:00.000-07:00

Do you share these “Millionaire” traits?

(My favourite is number 7)

In Thomas Stanley and William Danko's book "The Millionaire Next
Door" – they revealed that most millionaires really could be the
folks next door. They don't drive a new car every year or jet
around the world. In fact, sometimes they're the least likely
person you would suspect.

Here are 7 commonalities that most millionaires share. How do you
shape up with these characteristics?

1. They live below their means.  Half of the millionaires
interviewed did not live in high-status neighborhoods. Instead,
they lived in average neighborhoods in average houses. That's how
they were able to sa~ve money. The other half that did live in
high-status neighborhoods only moved there after they had become
wealthy.

2. They lead frugal lifestyles.  Most do not b~uy $5,000 suits,
expensive boats or even new cars. You might say they're tightwads.
They sh~op for bargains and always negotiate for a better deal.

3. They're self-employed or own their own businesses.  They
also love their work -- they connect with their jobs and feel very
passionate about them.

4. They plan and study investments.  The majority of
millionaires invest heavily and sp~end a large amount of their
time studying their investments or seeking advice from financial
advisors.

5. They weren't always at the top of their class.  Another
surprising commonality among the millionaires interviewed was that
they didn't all have advanced degrees or graduate at the top of
their classes. Some didn't even go to university and a few didn't
even finish high school.

6. They're self-made. The majority of millionaires received
no family money and do not plan to give their own children a lot
of money. They want their children to succeed the same way they
did -- on their own.

7. They’ve failed more than most. They above all others are
not afraid to have a go and keep trying against all odds.

Don’t think you have to fail before you succeed. It’s not a
pre-requisite. I understand the importance of turning failures
into valuable lessons, the “never-give-up” attitude is honourable
but with the right advice and guidance – you can stack the odds
heavily in your favour and be successful WITHOUT
leaving a trail of disaster behind you.

"People who never try, never fail,
or perhaps their whole life is a failure."

A close friend of mine asked about the million dollars,
and I answered that people like you and me are more into
helping our families and communities than accumulating
paper.

2009-03-20T16:29:00.000-07:00

If it's going to be.

Don’t rely on one mentor to create your life.
If you wait for someone to come around and motivate you,

what will happen if they don't show up? Are you going to stay

unmotivated for the rest of your life?

Have you ever had a new distributor call you and say:

"Oh, I can't be successful because my sponsor doesn't help me.

Or "my down line are holding me back."

I need more help. Why doesn't my upline sponsor a group for me?

Why doesn't my sponsor do my work and prospect, telephone,

and present my program to his prospects?"

Why don’t they shoulder the load and create a business for me?

As leaders, we can only smile when we get telephone calls like this.

We know the caller is avoiding personal responsibility for his results

and just wants to blame everyone in the world but himself.

So what can we tactfully say to the caller to help him grow up and

accept personal responsibility? How about replying to the caller by

saying: "So what exactly do you want your sponsor to do that you

are unwilling to do for yourself?"

It's not guaranteed, but most distributors will at least begin to accept

personal responsibility for their businesses.

We can teach but the student must be willing to learn, do some

research and implement what they have learnt.

When they gain and implement the attitude

“If it’s going to be, it’s up to me”

They will attract more of what they desire

Dealing with Objections

2008-12-23T12:16:00.000-08:00

I have found the three most common objections to being involved with home business revolve around:-

Our industry

The price

Insufficient time.

In any sphere of life, people will have different views to our own. This often occurs because they don’t have a full understanding of the subject and their opinion may be tainted by inaccuracies.

Our business involves education, marketing and training. This can best be accomplished by using a friendly, sincere and honest approach. Our goal is not so much to sell a particular product but to develop lasting relationships. Confrontation is likely to polarize opinion. However, if anyone has real concerns we should acknowledge them as such. A formula used successfully to accomplish this can be remembered with three simple words:

Feel – Felt – Found (or)

See – Saw – Found (or)

Hear – Heard – Found

NB: Whichever of the above you use, depends upon the predominant approach of the person to whom you are speaking and whether they are kinetic, visual or auditory. Use their own terms for most effective communication.

OUR INDUSTRY:

If the objection is to networking or Multi-Level-Marketing (MLM) - confused with pyramid schemes - we might say:

“I know how you Feel. I and people I know have Felt the same until they Found that pyramid schemes are illegal. They can be differentiated from legal marketing enterprises because they pay commission on signing people up rather than promoting a valuable product. Pyramid schemes are heavily, whereas MLMs are an efficient way of marketing that is attracting business people like Warren Buffet and Donald Trump, both of whom embrace, promote and foster the concept.

In using the three-word formula, we have acknowledged their real concerns by saying that other people have had a similar view until they gained more information.

Did you know that Richard Branson became involved in network marketing by developing one of the most successful direct sales companies in the UK?

Did you know that over 100 billion dollars in sales is generated through direct sales?

Or that this industry has created more millionaires than any other industry?

The more we know about our product and industry the better we can deal with objections. If you don’t know the answer to a question, just ask if you can get back to them, while you consult with a colleague or refer them to your web site as most questions are addressed in our FAQs and Company information.

The two other popular objections are the price of the product and that people don’t have enough time to run a business:

PRICE:

With price concerns we must know what makes our product special. Then use the three-word formula: e.g. “I know how you Feel. You’re not alone; a few people Felt that way too, until they Found that…”

(or) “I can See that... and you’re not alone as others Saw that also, but then they Found that…”

(or) “I Hear what you are saying. You’re not alone; others have Heard that too, but then they Found that…”

Spending a couple of dollars a day to boost your bodies defences is money well spent. You can demonstrate that your product works by referring to the science and also mention the many satisfied customers testimonials. Our product has been verified and quantified by science.

TIME:

Some people who say they have no time just don’t want to change their lives. Yes they complain about the cost of fuel and groceries or they tell you of their goals and aspirations yet they won’t at this stage do anything about their situation.

You should try to explain the benefits of the industry but be realistic; you can’t carry them on your journey to make your goals come true. You might say:

‘I know how you Feel (or I hear what you are saying). You’re not alone, a few people Felt that way (have said this) too until they Found that”:-

They could incorporate this business into their everyday lives by handing out business cards and letting the web site and other tools do their job.

Then follow up with a couple of phone calls. Training helps us succeed and this can be done without cutting into your time. You might listen to CD’s while driving or read information while commuting. Many people soon commit to making a better life for themselves and to doing whatever it takes.

Thought Provoking Questions:

Q. How much would you need in the bank to earn just an extra $200 a month @ 5% interest? A. $12,000. An extra $400 p/m would need $24,000, and to earn an extra $1000 p/m would need $54,000 sitting in the bank.

Q. Would that extra income make a difference?

Q. How long at your present salary would it take to have that amount?

Q. (For mature people). If you have difficulty making ends meet now, how would you like to live on the basic pension? Would it affect your lifestyle?

Q. What are your goals? What would you like to be doing in 3 - 5 years from now? Enjoying a well deserved holiday on a tropical beach; enjoying the company of a loved one; or commuting through the traffic to the same old job?

This business might not be for everyone but I truly believe that everyone can benefit from a regular dose the most powerful anti-oxidants.

Congratulations now you have a million dollar business

Business Presentation

It is so important with any presentation to present a friendly honest face.

Yes smile, even when you are on the phone.

To get yourself in the mood, before you pick up the phone or speak with a prospect, think that you are helping people to achieve financial freedom.

Get in the mind set that you are creating a million dollar business.

You are the CEO and you are looking for your senior managers.

Hang on Peter, I hear some one say…..

Where did you get this million dollar business from?

We have learnt to talk about an extra $500 to a couple of thousand extra a month.

No one will believe that a million dollar business is realistic.

That’s right, start with an amount that can mark a difference in their lives.

Compound Duplication

Early on in your relation ship with a business builder teach them the power of compound duplication.

Either do a napkin presentation or use a white board so they really get it.

Each month we sponsor one person.

In January we sponsor 1 person and teach them to sponsor I person.

By February we have 3 people

We continue to sponsor and teach our distributors to teach their distributors.

Have a look at the compound growth.

Once you have finished, ask your audience which 6 months bought in the most

New distributors.

The second six months is by far the most productive but that could not have been achieved without the foundations that were laid in the first six months.

Every one can see clearly that persistence pays off.

Now comes the reality check. People often sponsor less qualified people and they give up on their dreams easily.

Lets say that only 1000 distributors remain at the end of the year and that these people buy on average $1000 worth of product per year. (less than $100pm)

1000x1000 equals a million dollar business.

Congratulations now you have a million dollar business

Talented people can sponsor more than one person a month, but as you can see

Building relationships and teaching other is crucial to success.

Also you need to have a quality product and without doubt we have that.

Home Business Market Growing Fast

Did you realise that home-based businesses on the Internet

are one of the fastest growing employment sectors in the

US, even during economic down turns.

Will the developed world follow the trend?

According to the U.S. Department of Labour there are over

20 million work-at-home businesses and it is projected that

half the population will be working in part from home by 2025.

Just over half of small business owners operate some type of

home based business opportunity. Money magazine recently

reported that between 10 and 15% of home-business owners

make a gross revenue of 100K-500K. However, most people

in developed countries seem oblivious to this trend and consider

traditional jobs as the only option for earning an income.

There is no shortage of online business opportunities.

From using software tools to invest in stocks, to selling on

Ebay or putting up affiliate sites. There are hundreds of ways

to establish an online business presence. However it is wise

to do your home work and be wary of the get rich quick schemes

that generally don’t have a consumable product or involve a

technology that will soon be superseded.

Like any other business, success is dependent on acquiring

knowledge and hard work. The advantages are that entry into

an online business is inexpensive and the work hours are flexible.

With such a small risk, more and more people are finding it worth a try.

Most Australians do not retire with enough money to live

the lifestyle they want and deserve. Could an online business

be the solution for you to secure your future?

What Holds You Back

Have you heard of Thomas Edison, Richard Branson, Jay Leno, Cher, Walt Disney, Winston Churchill , Whoopi Goldberg, and Ted Turner?

Can you guess what they all have in common?
They were all dyslexic. Dyslexia is an inherited condition that makes it extremely difficult to read, write, and spell despite at least average intelligence.

For these a person to become famous acquiring knowledge and a lot of reading was required but they did not let dyslexia keep them from becoming all they could be.

“It’s not what you are that holds you back, it’s what you think you’re not.” quote by Denis Waitley

Many people who are struggling for success, believe they’re lacking something, that if they possessed it, would make them successful. When the truth is, they already possess everything they need to be successful. They just need to learn how to use it to their advantage.

Libraries and the internet are great recourses to study how others overcame hurdles that you may have experienced or to acquire and refine skills that you desire.

And please never forget this, “It’s not what you are that holds you back, it’s what you think you’re not.”

Effective Networking Presentation

This is a presentation to show to your business
orientated people. It demonstrates that no one
has to sponsor the world to succeed.
Start them with an achievable goal.
This demonstration will also show them how
Important it is to work with their people
and help them get started.
Just by every one sponsoring 2 people
Your organisation grows.

x2
16

After explaining that 2x2= 4 and multiplying
down to 16, explain that not everyone is
capable of sponsoring 2 in their first month.
Where as others accomplish this quickly.
It’s happened in my organization that one
enterprising gent sponsored 2 people before
his enrollment had been processed. He
sponsored his third the following day.
Although you help every one you have
sponsored, some are ready to start a
business, some require time and some
remain customers.
Remember we have to provide what
people want.
When you have explained 2x2 imagine
adding just 1 more.

Lets see what happens when every one

Understand two things about organisations
Not every one works at the same speed and
it is difficult to work with more than five.
Build 2 or 3 down lines to achieve rank
advancement and then build another leg.
Imagine for a moment if your company
paid down 10 levels as Kakadu International
does, and all payments are dynamically
compresses up. How big could your
organization become.

The larger the goal the larger the satisfaction.

Networking and MLM Success

Depends on Identifying Trends

Nutrition trends for 2008

This year, expect to see a flood of new food products boasting their ailment-specific benefits -- everything from fighting colds to cancer, from easing arthritis to wrinkles.

"Artificial" is out and "authentic" is in.

Here's a look at the top nutrition trends that we predict will shape how we eat in the coming year.

Junk-free foods

The Mintel Global New Products Database predicts companies will be more aggressive in removing additives, preservatives, artificial colors or flavors and "otherwise unknown ingredients" from products to have "clean labels" and to make junk-free claims. Expect to see more products with ingredient labels that read like "a home recipe rather than a chemist's shopping list."

Naturally nutrient-rich

Even though sales of pumped-up foods and beverages have been soaring, a backlash against heavy fortification may be brewing. Lynn Dornblaser, a new products analyst for Mintel, predicts that people will be seeking more natural sources of nutrients. This desire for authentic nutrition is what drove the popularity of "superfruits" this year.

Ethical eating

Growing concerns about the environment, animal welfare and fair trade are fueling companies to declare their commitment to these issues on food labels. Foods and beverages with an ethical positioning doubled this year, according to Mintel. With "eating green" predicted to be even bigger in the coming year

Phytonutrients and Antioxidents

These natural plant compounds with names that don't exactly roll off your tongue -- polyphenols, flavonoids, quercetin, lycopene, lutein and anthocyanins -- are about to go mainstream, Sloan predicts. Studies suggest phytonutrients have disease-fighting properties that are even mightier than vitamins and minerals.

Better-for-you kids' food

Worries over childhood obesity and the influence of marketing to kids have forced a new generation of children's foods. A positive nutritional profile will be required for getting into the kids' market, said Dornblaser. She predicts more fruit snacks that actually contain fruit, juice drinks with less sugar and more organic foods for kids.

Brain food

Certain food compounds -- from omega-3s in fish oils to flavonoids in cocoa -- may have the ability to improve memory, sharpen concentration and even reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. This year, brain claims nearly tripled, according to Datamonitor's Productscan Online.

Being good to your gut

It seems we've never been more interested in our intestines. Nearly 200 new products touting digestive health benefits were introduced this year, according to Datamonitor, an online research firm. Some are fortified with fiber that benefits our good intestinal bacteria.

Foods with fullness

With our collective girth getting worse, consumers will remain hungry for foods that can help them lose weight. Look for more foods to promote hunger control and showcase their rankings on the satiety index to help dieters stay on track.

Eating to ease inflammation

Aging baby boomers are driving the demand for "joint health" foods and beverages. Store shelves will likely be stocked with more products promising pain relief, either from arthritis or exercise.

Enjoy the Holidays

2007-12-10T13:10:00.000-08:00

3 HOT Networking Tips for the Holiday Season

#1 - Keep a look out for good communicators

Be friendly. Say hello and introduce your self. Ask questions. Find out more about them than they find out about you. Ask about their family, how they got invited to the party, do they like their occupation, what they do for recreation. hobbies. Remember, it's not an interrogation, but a conversation. Ultimately, you are looking to make a new friend and perhaps even a new business partner for sometime down the road.

You may even find out when asking these questions, what would compel them to look at your business or product in the future. In other words, they may or may not qualify for what you are doing. If they don't see a perceived problem, then don't waste your time offering your "solution".

Remember it's always better to go too slow than too fast, so at first, it is better to befriend someone than to give a full sales pitch and scare them away.

#2 - Give a sincere compliment.

After having some conversation and learning more about your new contact, before the interaction ends, always give a sincere compliment if they have the kind of people skills of someone you'd be interested in showing your business and/or product to at some point.

You may or may not even bring up your business right away, unless they ask. Either way, this is ok. Remember, the relationship is more important than anything and people will do business with those that they believe in, like and trust. And this takes some time to develop unless when you first meet, sparks start flying!

Tell them that you find their people skills excellent and that you are always on the lookout for competent ambitious people who may want to keep in contact for the future.

#3 - Exchange Contact Information.

Never give any information without getting information. Don’t just hand out your card like confetti. The key is to create a new friend and relationship where both of you want to keep in touch. In this case, the fortune is absolutely in the follow up.

Just keep in mind that you must first find out what is important to them, and then, make it important to you. This is how you can turn these new contacts into new friends and business partners.

Remember you can and should have friends out side your business if nothing else just to give you a balanced perspective.

Bottom line enjoy the journey and your holidays.

Specialty supplement sales to soar.

Mintel’s Global New Products Database placing superfruits among the top 10 trends

combined with the Business Insights study predicting specialty supplements offer the most sales growth potential over the next five years puts a smile on the face of our industry.

Finding the next obscure fruit with high nutrient content is big business in the

functional fruit business as originality , combined with taste and mystic scores high with consumers.

Supplement consumption has reportedly increased in the younger generations by as much as 30 percent.

A report released by Packaged Facts last year, entitled Nutritional Supplements in the US, predicted that dietary supplement sales would grow upwards of $6bn by 2011, with products geared towards specific ailments accounting for a large share of the growth.
The International Food Information Council (IFIC) commissioned a web-based national survey of US adults last month and found consumers overwhelmingly believe food and nutrition play the greatest role in maintaining or improving health.

Based on the findings that consumers understand the link between food and health

the challenge is to increase consumer awareness so as to further tap into this market potential

The mega trend that has flowed through society for generations

is fulfilling the needs and desires of baby boomers. This is not going to change as they enter retirement. They are becoming increasingly

concerned with health, and the resultant market is projected to

top one trillion dollars internationally.

In the last decade Berries became popular, this was followed by super fruits.

Pomegrannate, Gogi, Noni, Mangosteen and Acai which are all marketed on their powerful anti oxidant and associated medicinal benefits. Scientists believe Anti oxidants help prevent and repair the stress that comes from oxidation,

a natural process that occurs during cell division. Companies

unknown five years ago, now have sales approaching billions.

The world wide search for unique foods with enhanced beneficial properties has identified indigenous botanicals which are more potent than the foreigners and they have been known and used for millennia.

Scientists have discovered

that the most potent antioxidant is not in a fruit or berry, it's in your body.

Promoting your business web site.

One article can only summarize some of the avenues available

to the entrepreneur marketing their wares.

Lets starting with telling friends, word of mouth works because we have credibility and are able to tell a story about the product or business (testimonial) with a smile on our dial.

Business cards, flyers, notice boards, shirts, caps, buttons and don’t forget the mobile

advertising vehicle, your car. You need a eye catching phrase or logo,

a conversation starter. Some thing that may fulfill a need or desire.

Give people a reason to remember and seek more information.

The internet is an evolving medium with huge potential and it requires study.

Let’s look at Google adwords, Yahoo and other search engines are similar.

At the bottom of a Google search page, click on the advertise programs.

They have tutorials that will lead you through the process and it does not have to be learnt in a day. You are able to modify the add and refine the budget as the promotion develops.

You get to choose the key words that will come up in searches. For example, home business, Kakadu Juice or nutritional supplement. You are able to specify the maximum amount you are willing to pay when some one clicks on your add. (cents per click –CPC). Also you determine your daily budget and the locations where your

campaign will appear.

The adds that appear on the first page of a search get the majority of the clicks. Some terms like MLM are expensive to get on the first page because of their popularity. Paying to advertise MLM on the first page of a search all around the world would be prohibitively expensive.

So we can limit the location and or the daily budget or both.

For example our Add could be.

Kakadu Juice the nutrition

Location – the state of Victoria

Key Word - CPC

MLM 1.80c

Kakadu Juice 17c

Home Business 1.13c

Daily Budget $5

Be on the look out for Free classifieds and forums that discuss topics of interest

Web 2 which is a growing resource and refers to the use of blogs,

YouTube, MySpace and Face Book. These are free and are being used by a growing number of people.

Remember there are people who get paid to take nutritional supplements and those who don’t.

Some thing to mention next time someone asks you what you do for a living.

Napoleon Hill the author of “Think and Grow Rich”is also know
for poetry and quotes. He has inspired generations.

“I bargained with life for a penny
and life would pay no more,
however, I begged at evening
when I counted my scanty store;

For life is a just employer
he gives you what you ask
but, once you have set the wages
why, you must bear the task;

I worked for a menial’s hire
only to learn dismayed
that any wage I had asked of life,
life would have willingly paid.”

If you cannot do great things, do small things in great ways.

Procrastination is the bad habit of putting of until the day after tomorrow what should have been done the day before yesterday.

Happiness is found in doing, not merely possessing.

Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blue prints of your ultimate achievements.

We begin to see, therefore, the importance of selecting our environment with the greatest of care, because environment is mental feeding ground out of which the food that goes into our mind is extracted.

There is one quality which one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it.

The world has the habit of making room for the man whose actions show that he knows where he is going.

A goal is a dream with a deadline.

Simplicity & Dignity by Zig Ziglar

A parent or teacher who treats a child with dignity builds the self-esteem of the child and automatically increases the child's performance, which generally improves the child's conduct. An employer who treats employees with respect and dignity builds loyalty and increased productivity.

You treat another person, regardless of age, with dignity when you courteously listen to him or her and respond in a thoughtful manner. You treat others with dignity when you show them respect, regardless of their occupation, sex, race, creed or color. And when you treat others with respect and dignity, your own self-respect and sense of dignity improve.

Simplicity and dignity make a powerful combination. When you strive for dignity and use simplicity as a yardstick, you've just elevated your possibilities for accomplishment.

It Is Up To You

One of the first things successful people realize is the old adage, "if it is to be, it is up to me." That is, for you, the fact that your success and your course is up to you. This doesn't mean that you do it all alone. It simply means that you take responsibility for your life and your career.

Too many people today look at opportunity and figure it is up to someone else to make sure they get it. They look at financial security and hope that the government will make sure they live safely in retirement or in case of disability. They wait and wait, figuring that it is up to someone else. And then the wait is over, and it is too late to do anything. Their life is over and they are filled with regret.

This isn't true for you however. You know that you must take responsibility for your life. It is up to you.

The fact is that nobody else is going to do it for you. You must do it yourself.

Now, some people may say, "Jim, that's a lot of responsibility." But here's what I think, that is the best news you can ever hear. You get to choose your life. Hundreds of millions of people all around this world would give anything to live in the situation you do just for the chance to have the opportunity to take control of their destiny. "It is up to you" is a great blessing! Here's why:

1. You get to chart your own destiny. Maybe you want to start a small business and stay there. That's great because you can choose that. Maybe you want to create a small chain of stores. Maybe you want to have a net worth of $100 million. That's okay too. The idea is that you get to choose. You can do whatever you like. Different people have different dreams and they should live them accordingly.

2. You can reap what you sow. Sleep in and go to work late and reap the return. Or get up early and outwork the others and earn a greater return. Place your capital at risk and earn a return or place it at greater risk and perhaps reap a greater return. You decide what you will sow and thus what you will reap.

3. No one else can stop you from getting your dream. Yes, there will always be things that come up and people who may not like what you are doing, but you can just move on and chart your own course. There is great freedom in that.

4. You experience the joy of self-determination. There is no greater pride than knowing you set your mind on something and accomplished it. Those who live with a victim mentality never get to experience the joy of accomplishment because they are always waiting for someone else to come to the rescue. Those who take responsibility get to live the joy of seeing a job well done.

Let me ask you a question: Where will you be in 5 years? 10 years? Or 25 years? Do you know? Do you have an idea? Have you ever dreamed about it or set a goal for it? Are you willing to take responsibility and recognize that, "It is up to you?"

You will be wherever you decide to be in those timeframes. You decide. It is up to you.

And that is very exciting!

To Your Success,

How to Begin

Avoid early mistakes

One of the recurring mistakes people make when it comes to marketing their network business, is that although one of their pre-sign up objections was that they "don't want to be in sales", immediately they go out and start trying to "sell" their amazing product to their friends and family.

The worst thing you can do if you are not trained properly is approach family and friends from the perspective that you have this great exciting business opportunity and it entails this great juice product with a ton of health benefits, and we will all be rich next week.

You could get the cold shoulder and if you persist, you might join the NFL Club -no friends left.

I tried this and seen others do it as well and it wasted both time and money. After a couple of months we either get discouraged and quit or learn to give people what they want.

A better way to introduce your family and friends to your business and/or product, involves what I call "friendship marketing".

Approach life in a friendly manner and begin conversations, with the intention of learning about people. Learn to "fish" for people’s wants and needs, and then if they fit into your criteria, offer a potential solution.

For example, if you hear your contact talk about their lack of finances from time to time, you might say, "(name of contact), you know how you sometimes mention that you wish you had more money/ spare time to do more things with your family, well...if there was a way to make that happen and it wouldn't get in the way of your job or current situation, would you be open to taking a look at it."

You see, if you don't know what your contact's need is and remind them that they have it, why would they ever want to take a look at a potential solution to something that they don't even realize is plaguing them?

It can be a problem with their finances, their health, their time freedom, you name it. The key is to offer a solution without trying to sound like a salesperson who is coming from a place of desperation or greed.

When you take this approach, more often than not, your contact will be open to listening to information, visiting your website or even attending an event with you.

Just remember that some will, some won't, don’t stress. Perhaps they will be more open to your recommendation at a later date.

This is the key to your success. Continue to meet and speak with new people all the time, listen for their problems or ask them about themselves so that they tell you their problems and then, offer a potential solution.

Collect and pass out contact details and if you come across someone who you really would not want to work with, look for some friendlier people.

How long does it take to get professional or trade qualifications? Years before they start to make decent income. There are short cuts to developing a residual income but they still require time and effort.
