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....

Avoid Pain, Increase pleasure
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
our company, products, compensation plan, and training and
support system, go

team and would gladly help you build as large and lucrative a network
as you wish. If you have questions or would like more information,
feel free to e-mail or call me

Own Your Life
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

Many Work until they Drop
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.
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.
Table – Actuarial Study of
life span vs. age at retirement.
| Age at Retirement | Average Age At Death |
| 49.9 | 86 |
| 51.2 | 85.3 |
| 52.5 | 84.6 |
| 53.8 | 83.9 |
| 55.1 | 83.2 |
| 56.4 | 82.5 |
| 57.2 | 81.4 |

Most Creative Years in the Life
The Nobel Laureate, Dr. Leo Esaki, delivered
a lecture entitled "Innovation and Evolution"
in the
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.

Antioxidant Overpowers Rivals
Picking Winners
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.
