Must Attend on Valentines(sneak peek now)


A message from...  Cindy McAsey

Tidbits are starting to escape.

The online gurus's have it all wrong. Oh yea they may be able to suck lots of folks in, but let's face it not everyone can be a guru so how are they going to help you with success? After all many times, their perceived success came from the look of a guru status online.

It's not about you it's about the people your connecting with. Discover people and what they want. Find out whats of value to them. It must be completely about others. Internally focus on personal development, and how to be emotionally intelligent. Hint: New Marketing is about relationships not the medium.

You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.

I believe... People with passion can change the world for the better. I'm not necessarily passionate about physical products but what the product can bring to us and to the world. Passion will not protect us against set backs, but it will ensure no failure is ever final. So what is it your passionate about?

Wether you like it or not you are being judged by how well you communicate. Good Artists copy. Great Artists steal. I want you to steal some ideas here OK? Two people can see the same thing but interpret it differently based on their vision. Chances are your vision won't look like mine so your ideas will be different also.

That's it for today anyway. Don't forget to plug in on Valentines...

A message from...  Cindy McAsey


Join us for this Special Webinar Series starting on a Very Special Day... Valentines!!!

This series has been developed based on a survey of folks just like you and I. On this survey there was 156 questions asked.. such as, What is your business or profession? Your education? How do you spend your spare time? What is your income? Your Hobbies? Your ambitions? Your Problems? What subjects are you most interested in studying? And so on.

That survey revealed health is the prime interest and their second interest is people and get along with people; how make people like you; and how to win others to your way of thinking.

Many of you know I've become somewhat of an expert on healthy living and lifestyle, I've written so much content on health it will make your head spin.

Here's the deal this special Webinar series is all about their SECOND interest. So as my research continued I ran across a video featuring Warren Buffett where he gives his wise words of successful wisdom called,

"How to increase your income by 50%".

His words spoke to my heart & soul and I knew this was it. I've put together a series based on people, communication, Internet, influence, and leadership. OMG I get excited just thinking about it!

It's what you DO that makes a Difference

Most of us are alike in our Dreams. Most of us are alike in the promises we make. What sets us apart and makes each of us different is what we do.

Last week I was visiting with my Mom, she was sharing with me how her railroad retirement (much like Social Security for retired railroad workers and their families) didn't go up this year. According to the letter that she received their was no cost of living increase like they generally get on an annual basis. She said to me, "How can that be look at the price of gas from last year to this year." We had a long talk about the state of the economy today, I shared with her stories I had heard of folks loosing their disability. Folks getting hit with tax bills unexpectedly for small enough amounts it's not worth hiring someone to fight it so they just pay it or have it garnished from their bonus check.

George Washington once said, "Where are the men of abilities why do they not come forth and save this country."

Wether you want to admit it or not our country needs us the small business owner. It's the small business owner that has the ability to pull the country out of the mess we're in. It's what you do that makes a difference.

Teddy Roosevelt once said, "It’s not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; who’s face is marred by dust, sweat and blood; who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again; who knows great enthusiasm, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly; so his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

Albert Einstein wrote 240 papers.. most were never referenced.
Thomas Edison filed 1039 patents.. we all relate the name "Edison" with the light bulb. It’s the quantity that leads to the quality... It's what you DO that makes a difference!

If you show what you've got to enough people you will get results.

The MOM Factor

At the base of your brain, where all the nerve endings come together to form your spinal cord, there is something about the size of your thumb called the Reticular Formation. This is a real physical, physiological thing. Part of the Reticular Formation is the Reticular Activating System (RAS). The RAS has one job and one job only. Its job is to filter information; and it is superb at what it does. We are constantly exposed to, and bombarded by so much information, data, stimuli and even opportunities, that if we consciously tried to register it all, process it all and think about it all, we would literally go crazy. We would be in a constant state of "overload". So the RAS (which remember, is VERY good at what it does) constantly filters out "extraneous" and "superfluous" information and data. It's like a "Spam Filter" for your mind.

The crucial question then becomes: How does the RAS determine what it needs to filter out? The RAS is constantly asking three questions in order to decide what you need to know and be aware of:

  • 1. Is it my responsibility?
  • 2. Is it important?
  • 3. Does it match my version of'the truth'?
Whatever information, data or stimuli you are exposed to must satisfy all three questions. It's not the best two out of three. It is not a democracy or majority rules. It must satisfy ALL THREE criteria before the RAS will allow you to be aware of it - that includes any opportunities that you come across. Lets look at the first question the RAS asks to see why you may have blind spots and can't see opportunities that are all around you.

1. "Is it my responsibility"? - Have you ever gone someplace you've never been before, in an unfamiliar part of town, as a passenger in someone else's car? After you got there did you realize that you had absolutely no idea how to find your way home? It has probably happened to most of us. On the other hand, had you driven there yourself, would you have been able to find your way home? More than likely.

Why in the first case were you clueless, but in the second case you noticed the gas station on the corner, the white picket fence, the church steeple and all the other landmarks that would help you find your way out of there? Because, in the second case you knew you were responsible for getting there and back. However, in the first case you knew you weren?t responsible, so your RAS decided you didn't need that information, filtered it out and you never saw the important landmarks that could help you find your way home. The "Mom Factor"

I would like all of you mothers reading this to think back to when your first child was an infant (I'm sure the following was true of all of your children, but think especially of your first child). They were just old enough that they had graduated from the bassinet by your bed to their own crib, in their own room down the hall. The first few weeks do you remember how you would be sound asleep in the middle of the night, and out of a sound sleep, all of the sudden you knew that you had to be down the hall checking on your child. You don't know what you heard; you're not even sure that you had heard anything; you just knew you had to be there, and in a heart beat you are wide awake and at that child's bedside making sure that everything is OK.

It's the third time that night that you have been up to check on your child. As you return to your bed, you decide that it is important for your husband to know that THIS! - IS! - THE! - THIRD! - TIME! that you have been up to check on HIS! child. So, you THROW! yourself on the bed and JERK! the covers back over to you, just to make sure your husband appreciates that this is the THIRD! time you have been up ? and your husband sleeps through the whole thing. He never heard you get up, was never aware that you came back to bed, and never even felt you jerk the covers back over.

Now, in some of your homes, later that night, the family dog starts yapping in the back yard. Dad jumps out of bed, throws open the window, shouts at the dog to shut up, comes back to bed - and Mom sleeps through the whole thing. How is it that Mom can hear a virtually inaudible sleeping baby, but can?t hear barking dogs and Dad can hear dogs, but can't hear babies? It's simple ... in your home the roles have been defined such that Mom is responsible for the baby and Dad is responsible for the dog.

Your RAS will filter out any information that you are not responsible for and make you unaware of it.

I've often heard it said that wisdom comes with age. But, that is not true. The only thing that automatically comes with age - is old. That's all you get. Wisdom comes when you accept responsibility for your life. I know 80-year-olds with no wisdom and 18-year-olds with plenty. The difference is that the 18-year-old has accepted responsibility for their life and future, but the 80-year-old is still blaming everyone and everything around them for their stature in life.

All of us spend the first nine months of our lives on a waterbed. It is warm. It is cozy. All of our needs were met without us having to do a thing. Then we are born, the doctor cut the umbilical cord, slapped us on the rear end and then 95% of us spend the next 50 years of our lives looking around for someone else we can plug our umbilical cord into to take care of us. But, it's not someone else's responsibility. And until you take responsibility for your life and future, your RAS will make you blind to opportunities around you.

Barefoot Healthy Living: Shaklee 7 Day Detox Program

Shaklee 7 Day Detox Plan

Seven Days That Will Last a Lifetime

The following seven-day plan progresses gradually. It begins with two full days of a modified macrobiotic diet, then moves into three days of fruit only, then comes back to a more regular eating plan for the last two. Throughout, we eliminate caffeine, alcohol, refined sugar, dairy, and artificial foods altogether. There are no strict guidelines as to how much or when to eat; use basic nutritional principles to determine that for yourself.

Days One and Two:

Your diet for these two days should consist of organic fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and chicken, or fish. Modify these suggestions to accommodate your tastes:

Upon Awakening: One large glass of hot purified water with one half of a fresh lemon squeezed into it. You may add honey to sweeten if you wish. This tonic helps flush waste matter from your digestive tract and keeps your breath sweet.

Breakfast: Fresh fruit and freshly squeezed fruit juice, organic yogurt (if you eat dairy), chopped almonds to sprinkle in the yogurt or over sliced fruit, and as much herbal tea as you want. You can use a little honey for sweetener. Lunch: One serving of protein (tofu, fish, or skinless chicken Breast), steamed, poached or baked with no oil, and one serving of a whole grain (like brown rice, couscous, wild rice). One serving is equivalent to about the size of your fist. You may also have as much fresh vegetables and salad as you would like. You can use vinegar and lemon with one teaspoon olive oil for dressing and natural seasonings as you wish. Make lunch your largest meal. But remember, less is more (you detox better!). Snack: Any form of fresh fruit or vegetable. Dinner: One serving of protein as at lunch and one serving of a whole grain and one serving of a vegetable or a salad. Give yourself some variety from lunch. For dessert, you can either have fresh or baked fruit, or you can get creative and make naturally low-fat, whole grain, dairy-free desserts that you can get from any good vegan cookbook.

Supplements to Use:

Morning: Take One serving of Optiflora Prebiotic and Probiotic Complex

Take 1 DTX
Take 5 Alfalfa
Noon: Take 1 DTX
Take 5 Alfalfa
Evening: Take 1 DTX
Take 5 Alfalfa
Take 2 Herb-Lax

Days Three, Four, and Five:

Here is when you enter your three-day fruit fast. It sounds hard, but after two days of already eating light, it won’t be as difficult as you think. You can have as much fresh, whole fruit or freshly squeezed juice as you want. Be creative! Instead of just eating an apple, or a pear, take the time to prepare a fruit salad that combines several kinds of fruit. Here are a few suggestions:

Mash up a few bananas and freeze them to make banana “ice-cream” Bake apples, using honey or cinnamon for flavoring.

Bake or poach pears and use honey or cider for sweetening.

Add cinnamon, vanilla flavoring and Shaklee protein (vanilla) to applesauce

Different fruit salads: berry salad (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries), tropical salad (pineapple, oranges, mango, banana—you have to sprinkle banana with a bit of lemon juice to keep it from browning), strawberry, kiwi, and grape salad…

Any kind of smoothie with protein in it

Remember, avocados and tomatoes are fruits, so you can use them to make soups, salads, guacamole, and so on. Or you can go to the health food store and buy a can of organic tomato soup (watch sodium count—500 or below). You can add a little tomato salsa or apple cider vinegar for flavoring.

Supplements to Use:

Morning: Take 1 serving of Optiflora Prebiotic and Probiotic Complex
Take 2 DTX
Take 8 Alfalfa
Take 1-2 Herb-Lax
Noon: Take 2 DTX
Take 8 Alfalfa
Evening: Take 2 DTX
Take 10 Alfalfa
Take 2-4 Herb-Lax (depends on each individual—how much your body can handle
Take 1 serving of Optiflora Prebiotic and Probiotic Complex

Days Six and Seven:

For the last two days of your cleanse, you will go back to what you ate on Days One, Two and Three. However, it is very important that you remain conscious of what you are doing. Your system is cleaner and lighter than it was three days ago, so you will probably need less food than you think you do. Stay conscious and present to what your body needs.

In addition:

  • Exercise every day
  • Get good sleep (7-9 hours). Your body is going through and energetic process and needs to rejuvenate.
  • Do not deprive yourself of a meal or snack if you are hungry. Eating is necessary, natural and good for you. Your metabolism needs fuel. Don’t eat if you aren’t hungry, as this will defeat the purpose of becoming aware of your hunger patterns.
Supplements to Use:

Morning: Take One serving of Optiflora Prebiotic and Probiotic Complex
Take 2 DTX
Take 8 or more Alfalfa
Take 1-2 Herb-Lax
Noon: Take 2 DTX
Take 8 or more Alfalfa
Evening: Take 2 DTX
Take 10 or more Alfalfa
Take 2-4 Herb-Lax (depends on each individual—how much your body can handle
Take 1 serving of Optiflora Prebiotic and Probiotic Complex

Ending the Seven Day Detox

At the end of the seven days, do not break your detox fast foolishly. The minute they wake up on the eighth day some people rush right out to have something that has been off-limits. That is the worst thing you could do to your system. Your intestines can’t take that kind of shock. One of the keys to fasting properly is knowing how to break it wisely! Do this detox two-three times a year, whenever you feel you have gone off track or just need to do a little internal clearing.

6 Things You Should Know About Probiotics

Meet the good bacteria: Probiotics
Gary Huffnagle, author of "The Probiotics Revolution," offers these tips about how probiotics can be useful to you:

1. Traveling: To prevent diarrhea or constipation, take probiotics daily for two weeks before traveling. Though most should be refrigerated, some are fine if left un-refrigerated for about two weeks.

2. Stomach flus, viruses, colds: Any illnesses causing vomiting and diarrhea can be improved with probiotics. They'll cut down on sick time.

3. Food poisoning: Taking probiotics decreases chances of food poisoning.

4. Yeast infections: Probiotics help avoid them. If you get one, they help get rid of it more quickly.

5. Fibromyalgia: It seems this disease really does cause an increase in pain, Huffnagle says. But most people with fibromyalgia also have gastrointestinal problems. Consume more fruits and vegetables, whole grains and other foods that support probiotics and take a form of them daily.

6. Aging: Microflora change as people get older, causing them to be intolerable of foods they once loved or get colds and flu more often. Probiotics may reduce food sensitivities and frequent colds and respiratory issues.

Have you eaten your good bacteria today?

No, seriously. No matter how much you've been told to avoid bacteria at all costs by washing with antibacterial soap and cleaning products, some bacteria actually is good for you.

These friendly bacteria, probiotics, not only promote digestive health, they assist in nutrition absorption and enhance the immune system. Microbiologists say they actually prevent illnesses and disease.

"It's basically a revelation in medicine," says Gary Huffnagle, professor of internal medicine and microbiology at the University of Michigan medical school. "We always think microbes cause harm to our bodies. The story is a little more complicated than that. The amount of research on this is exploding."

What are probiotics?

More than being good for you, probiotics -- which already grow inside our bodies -- are powerfully important in disease prevention because the body's digestive system plays a starring role in the body's defense system. Huffnagle says scientific evidence shows taking probiotic supplements or eating foods containing probiotics every day will help knock out illnesses, and discomforts such as allergies, asthma and irritable bowel syndrome.

Processed food linked to lower kids' IQ's

Let's add this up: what does processed foods + artificial sweeteners+chemical additives =? The answer? Lower IQ in kids. A study of over 14,000 kids between 3-8 in the UK, found that those who ate more processed foods had lower IQ's. What an alarm bell for every parent -- let's keep our kids healthy!
If a 3-year-old eats too much processed food, it might lower his or her IQ by the age of 8, a new study suggests. Researchers in Britain tracked what 14,000 children ate and drank at the ages of 3, 4, 7, and 8. Read more

What's eating you Acid?

"What’s Eating You? Acid, That’s What!"

"Exclusive breakthrough reveals—dangerously high acid levels in your body may be the hidden cause behind many health problems.

For optimal health, your body needs at least 72 trace minerals every day to protect you from the ravages of high acidity... the foods you eat only give you about EIGHT of them".

The above is a quote from AOL. This is news? Or is it news? Today, flashing across your computer screen, often, it sounds as if some company has just discovered nature!

For my past several Years in Shaklee, when I have presented the values of our nutritional products, I have always started out with two factors. The first is: Improving your digestion will improve your health, and secondly, I feel it is important to address the topic of acid-alkaline balance.

At that time, I present our Shaklee Alfalfa. The typical diet in our country disrupts the acid-alkaline balance. Meats and grains, (the most frequent choice), are acid forming. We, Americans just do not eat enough veggies or green foods. Some references state the average vegetable is only ten to thirty units alkaline, whereas alfalfa is one of the very highest ranking alkaline foods. This factor is very important in maintaining healthy joints. You would have to consume a huge amount of veggies to equal the amount of alkalinity you will receive from alfalfa.

However, Just any alfalfa does not meet all the requisites. Shaklee Alfalfa is organically grown, using not the stems of the plant, but the tender green leaves. And the Shaklee process does not expose the nutrients to any degree of heat which would destroy the bio-availability, or as Dr Shaklee would refer to "the life force of the plant".

I remember Dr Shaklee, at one time said: "If I had to choose only one product, it would be Alfalfa." I think its is because alfalfa provides not only the important minerals and vitamins, but also the trace minerals not found in other foods, and it provides enzymes to aid in digestion and some protein and the important alkalinity.

Shaklee Alfalfa Testimonial: Forty years ago, I was diagnosed with arthritis & bursitis. The doctors prescribed Darvon. I knew better than to take something that would merely address the symptoms of pain. I wanted to remove the cause, not the just the symptoms. At that time I had not heard about Shaklee. Fortunately, for me, someone I met casually, recommended Shaklee Alfalfa to me. She was not in Shaklee and I never saw her again. I wish I knew who she was so I could express my gratitude. Maybe that is one reason I find it so easy and practically essential to share the good news everywhere I go. We never know what a difference we may make in someone’s life.

It is important to remember, we never diagnose nor prescribe. Dr Shaklee said "When someone asks you what is good for arthritis, you could respond: You don’t want anything good for arthritis, you want something bad for arthritis and good for your body".

Another Dr. Shaklee quote: "We do not treat dis-ease we just treat the body fairly" Another favorite quote is in response to the question: How Many do I take? Dr Shaklee said "Do you count the peas on your plate, this is food."

"They aren’t pills, they won’t cure your ills, they’re just plain food, AND they will improve your mood". The point is we must emphasize wellness and prevention of disease with our food supplements.

Dr. gives the "Smart Idea" on HERBLAX after Colonoscopy

I agree with what you are saying about Dr. Shaklee and Herb Lax. Dr. Shaklee's basic 5 were: Vita-Lea; Protein; Vita C; Alfalfa; and HerbLax.

My elderly 89 year old father takes HerbLax daily and has for years and years -- I have been in Shaklee since 1978 recently he had a colonoscopy (just because they thought he should since he had not had one for years) I guess they thought he should have something wrong at his age, right.

During the procedure the doctor asked my dad--"Do you take Shaklee HerbLax?" "My dad said Yes, I do every day" (think he takes 2 or 4). Doctor said I thought so because the colon is a darker color. I have several other people with colons like yours and they all take Shaklee. Dad is getting worried, "Is it bad? "No," he said, "I wish all my patients had colons like yours--your colon is that of a 20 year old person, that is good, it couldn't be better."

So I guess this is living proof that Dr. Shaklee was right and knew what he was talking about. ~Sharon Rowe

Healthy Christmas Protein Balls Snack

As we roll into holiday cooking activities, I thought I would share with you a healthy nutritious snack that's fun to prepare with little ones.

The Healthy Christmas Snack Protein Balls

Prep Time: 30 minutes (15 minutes to mix, 15 minutes to roll into balls)

Basic Ingredients:
1 c. Natural Peanut Butter
1 c. Honey
1 c. Shaklee protein powder (cocoa protein powder makes the balls especially yummy) find at www.barefoot-mom.com
Add-In Ingredients (4 cups total, create your own combination!):
Sunflower seeds
Peanuts
Chocolate chips
Granola
Oatmeal
Raisins
Dried cranberries
Oat bran
Wheat germ
Flax seed (ground or whole)

Directions:
Mix together the basic ingredients in a large bowl: peanut butter, honey, and protein powder. Add 4 cups total of the add-in ingredients. (Peanuts, oatmeal, and chocolate chips are a delicious classic.)

The more dry ingredients you add, the stiffer the mixture gets. You want the protein balls to stick together when you roll them, but you don’t want them to be so sticky that they won’t hold shape. Add more oatmeal, wheat germ, or oat bran if your mixture is too goopy. Add more honey if your mixture is too dry.

Roll the mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter. This is the tedious part—so get the kids involved! Refrigerate the balls (or freeze any extra). You can stack them in Tupperware and separate the layers with waxed paper.
~Pop a couple throughout the day when you feel concentration and motivation are low~

How to Reduce Stress during the holidays

Let's face it life can be very stressful especially during the holidays. If you’re an American between the ages of 18 to 49, there's a 1-in-2 chance that you experience everyday stress. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control estimates that 75-90% of all doctor visits are stress-related. It’s important to find a healthy way to deal with stress.

Health professionals agree that stress has health consequences. The body's natural stress response, or what we used to call the "fear, fight, and flight response," was originally designed for survival. For example, if a lion were chasing you, your stress response would kick in and prevent you from becoming the lion's dinner.

But today, we are no longer faced with that kind of stress. Instead, we are exposed to stress daily, such as financial hardships and raising a family while working full time. Unfortunately, regardless of the type of stress, our bodies react in the same way. This is a problem because our stress response was not meant for dealing with today's everyday stresses. As a result, our stress response can cause more harm than good. If every day is an emergency, your health can end up paying a price.

The good news, however, is that stress is manageable.

There's no one best way to reduce stress, but here are some thoughts. Continue to eat well, get plenty of rest, and exercise regularly. If you haven't tried it yet, Shaklee Stress Relief Complex is designed to promote a tranquil state of well-being and help relieve feelings of stress. It contains L-Theanine, an amino acid found in green tea and studied for its effect on brain waves associated with a relaxed state; betasitosterol, found to blunt one of the stress hormones; and L-Tyrosine, an amino acid used to make a brain chemical that may become depleted from exposure to everyday stress. It also contains ashwaganda, a traditional, Ayurvedic herbal adaptogen.

Seek emotional support from a trained therapist or trusted friend. Just having someone to talk to about your frustrations or worries can help. Regular exercise is important. Try something new, like yoga. Yoga uses deep breathing and relaxation techniques that are helpfulfor coping with stress. Remember to keep things in perspective. Chances are, the stressful feelings you have will pass when the season passes.

Start your day with a 10-minute walk. Then grab three more 10-minute walking breaks throughout the day. Research shows that grabbing 10 minutes here and there could provide you with even better control over your blood pressure than if you'd slogged your way through a single 40-minute treadmill session.

When people with prehypertension -- that's systolic blood pressure of 120-139 or diastolic blood pressure of 80-89, or both -- were asked to walk briskly for 40 continuous minutes or for 10 minutes once per hour over a stretch of 4 hours, their blood pressure benefited most from the accumulated walking stints. The shorter walks reduced people's systolic pressure (that's the upper number) for 11 hours after the accumulated walks compared to only 7 hours for the continuous walk. Their diastolic pressure (the bottom number) was lower for 10 hours after the accumulated activity as opposed to only 7 hours for the continuous activity.

Good news if you're struggling to fit exercise into an already jam-packed day. Just grab a quick walk around the block in the morning, in the office parking lot during lunch, at the grocery store on your way home, and around the block again when you get there. You're done. And your heart is healthier.

All forms of exercise are good for lowering blood pressure; so are losing weight and eating a heart-healthy diet. Do all three...exercise, lose weight, and eat right... and you'll substantially reduce your risk of strokes and heart attacks.

Did you know cinnamon has health benefits?

If you spice up your diet with cinnamon it may help regulate your blood sugar. Early research has found people with diabetes who eat three-eighths of a teaspoon a day have better blood sugar levels after a little over a month.

So... how does cinnamon work its magic?

Researchers aren't sure yet. It's possible that something in cinnamon helps make insulin receptors more sensitive. Isn't it amazing what nutrients we have available on this earth to help keep our bodies in top shape.

The key is research.

I truly believe everything we need to keep our bodies healthy can be discovered in nature. I'm so proud to be associated with a company who has invested over 300 million to research and development of natural subsustances to prevent disease.

Barefoot Healthy Living: Healthy Aging

This is a testimony from Jan C.
My husband Jim called today after meeting with his lipid specialist in Minneapolis. Once again his cholesterol numbers have significantly dropped! At the time of his cardiac arrest 20 years ago, his cholesterol was over 400. For years the number gradually went down. Two years ago it was 179 and last year, after a year of being on Vivix, it was 138. That's when his statins were cut in half. Today Jim's total cholesterol is 97.

Jim has struggled with the LDL (bad cholesterol) the most. He has a genetic condition that causes his body to produce too much of it. Originally the LDL was 240. For years he worked to get it to 140 and then to 120. It needed to be less than 100. After a year and a half on Vivix, it dropped to 90. Today it was 58 !!!!!

Jim's doctor made this comment: Nobody wants to deal with the problem. They just want to take a pill to have it go away. When that doesn't happen they get upset." He and his office staff consider Jim their poster child. Jim complies and does what's needed to be healthy, and we support him.

What Jim does each day:

1. Takes Vitalizer, Vivix, Nutriferon, CoQHeart, Liver DTX Complex, and Joint Health Complex (had me order the new Cholesterol Reduction Complex right away, too!)

2. Runs 5 miles (has never missed a day of running in 20 years)

3. Drinks tea instead of coffee (Was addicted to coffee but switched to tea several years ago and dropped 30 points off his cholesterol total)

4. Is his own boss - so he can run and rest as needed (Quit a 20 year corporate job at time of cardiac arrest 20 years ago and located his office at home)

5. Makes decisions that eliminate as much stress as possible from his day.

Our youngest son Matt was 2 when Jim had the cardiac arrest. He got married on June 11 this summer. Twenty years ago, I never imagined that with 3 arteries 100% blocked and the 4th blocked 70%, that Jim would even live to see his youngest son grow up. It's good to note, too, that our three sons and I have supported all of Jim's efforts, and as a result we are healthier ourselves. Our family experience is proof that great health is primarily in the hands of the individual and the choices he or she makes. We've always chosen Shaklee nutrition, for example, and that has paid off royally for us. ~Jan

Barefoot Healthy Living - Landmark Study

Here's another example of better health than would be predicted from family history with a good diet and supplementation. The way I look at it.. this is the individual expression of the Landmark Study results.

In case you haven't seen it, below is a summary of the Landmark Study that highlights some of the easiest results for people to relate to.

Here's an idea... When talking with people about their health, show them this summary, and ask, "How much would it be worth to you on a daily basis to get those results in your life?" It helps people think about all the things they spend money on that don't contribute to a significantly improved state of health, avoid suffering and cost of degnerative diseases. Great stuff we have with Shaklee!

by Mary Litschewski..

I spent Thursday night in the ER and was admitted for tests. I thought I might be having a stroke, due to dizziness and also had tightness in my chest.

At 61, I have survived my Dad (who died at 55 after 5 heart attacks). My Mom died at 66 of heart disease and my brother had bypass surgery at 42. Now 65, he has had numerous stents and is on a double dose of Crestor.

I believe that, thanks to taking Shaklee for 33 years, my tests came out normal. My carotid arteries are clear. More tests to come, but 5 years ago, a cardiac angiogram showed CLEAR arteries in my heart, too (at age 56).

My brother and sister are diabetic (as was my mom and Grandmother). I am not!

Perhaps a heart healthy diet and moderate exercise helped, but I'm sure that the supplements have played a big part!

Barefoot Healthy Living: Do you know what you really want?

Reticular Activating System (RAS) is like a spam filter for your mind. RAS is constantly asking three questions in order to decide what you need to know and be aware of:

  1. Is it my responsibility?
  2. Is it important?
  3. Does it match my version of'the truth'?
The first question and more information about how your RAS works.

The second question the RAS continually asks to determine whether or not it will allow you to be aware of the opportunities around you is: Is it important?

The only way your RAS will know what is important is if you tell it exactly what is important.You must have clear, specific, vivid and measurable goals. Make no mistake. Setting goals is one of the most crucial steps to creating a better or different future than you are currently headed for.

Do you know what you really want?
Have you gotten to this point in your life and noone has asked you what is important to you? Have you ever written down what is most important to you? Many times folks will spend more time planning a one week vacation then they will planning their lives. No wonder they are stuck. No wonder things never seem to get much better. Telling the RAS what is important begins with knowing what it is you want.

Get Specific
If you want to set goals that really affect your behavior and cause change, they must be clear, specific, vivid and measurable. The fifth law of behavior says, "Your self-image can be changed by clear, specific, vivid, emotional experiences and/or repetition, whether real or imagined." For your RAS to open up to opportunities around you, you must tell your subconscious minds exactly what you want, because RAS will settle for anything that works! This means that if our goals are vague, general, or fuzzy the RAS will shut down the minute anything satisfies what you have told it.

For example, suppose your goal is you want "more money". You find a $5 bill lying on the ground and your RAS says, "All right! I met that goal, so I don't need to see any more opportunities in the money arena." You see, the $5 bill is "more money" than you had before. On the other hand, if you specify exactly (measurable) how much more money you want (say, $2500 per month), then your RAS doesn't shut out opportunities until you have reached the specific amount that you want.

What if your goal is "to spend more quality time with my kids?" Any extra time you spend would satisfy that goal so that just an additional two minutes a day would be enough for you to quit looking for and seeing opportunities to spend time with your kids. Better that you set your goal as "I will spend a minimum of 20 minutes each day, with each of my children, engaged in conversation one-on-one with no TV or other distractions in the room" (clear, specific, vivid, measurable!).

It's not a good idea to be like the person that says, "I always wanted to grow up to be somebody. I guess I should have been more specific." If you don't know where you are going, you are already there!

DO YOU NEED SHAKLEE HERB-LAX? YOU BE THE JUDGE...

It has been known by the natural healing profession for many years, and is recently being validated by the medical physicians, that well over 90% of degenerative disease conditions can be related directly to intestinal stasis — that is, a stagnant, fermenting condition within the bowels and related organs. This does not necessarily correspond to actual known constipation. A person can move his bowels many times a day, and still be encumbered with dead cells, decaying food materials, poisonous chemicals, parasites, pus, mucus, etc., all of which contribute to the circulation of toxins throughout the whole body, giving rise to an endless chain of “disease” conditions.

These facts should be taken into consideration when nutrition programs and vitamin therapy are introduced for the first time. The proper body’s response to a proper nutrition program is to start releasing stored toxins from the cells and this puts more stress on organs of elimination (colon, kidneys, lungs, liver, blood, and skin) which are already malfunctioning from past intake of drugs, additives, and refined, processed and overcooked foods. The result of this could be symptoms of nausea, weakness, headaches, rashes, and tiredness. To prevent this from happening, Dr. Shaklee has made HERB-LAX, a combination of nine different herbs that help detoxify the body through better, more complete, elimination.

It is important to understand that herbs are not in any way related to the artificial colon—cleansers promoted by television. Herbs do not act like ordinary laxatives that irritate the tissues and force the bowel to eject its contents. This weakens the organs and causes dependencies. But herbs, being a food, nourish the bowel and related organs to strengthen them so that they will function entirely on their own, effectively eliminating waste materials.

It is hard to say how many HERB-LAX an individual should use, since each person differs. Choose the dose that gives you two to three soft, easy bowel movements daily. This can range from one half to 30 per day ( in the case of Diverticulitis). Those who are faithful in using HERB-LAX for internal cleanliness will get surprising good side effects as days, weeks and months go by. These include a better complexion, no headaches, no bad breath, little odor during bowel movements, plus more energy and clearer thinking.

Herb Lax®
One cannot study the Shaklee product Herb-Lax® without gaining a profound respect for our founder Forrest C. Shaklee, Sr.

What an amazing mind he had to conceive such a product at the time he did. Remember, interest in herbal medicines had waned considerably during the middle of the last century. Herb-Lax was the second product he developed, and it has truly withstood the "test of time" remaining one of Shaklee's favorite products. Dr. Shaklee knew that proper elimination of waste from the bowel is one of the keys to optimal health.

It is said that 90% of degenerative diseases are related to, or worsened by, the food we eat passing too slowly through our intestinal system. The fact that Herb-Lax® contains Senna leaf powder and is therefore a laxative is a no-brainer. Practically everyone in the medical or herbal community would understand that. What Dr. Shaklee did to make his signature product unique was to blend an additional eight herbs with the Senna leaf powder to enhance its intended use - that being to speed up the movement of foodstuffs through the intestinal system. He was able to accomplish this without the usual unwanted side effects of taking a laxative. Another great consideration about this product is that the label states a serving size of four tablets. That would indeed cause a gentle bowel movement within several hours. I think it is interesting to note that by taking less than the serving size, one can effectively speed up the flow of food and waste through the intestinal tract without causing diarrhea.

Why does it work the way it does? Certainly, several of the herbs contained in this product produce a laxative action. In addition to the aforementioned Senna leaf powder, buckthorn bark powder, licorice root, blue malva powder, and culver root have shown some laxative action.

They do, however, along with the other herbs present, fulfill other functions within the GI tract to complete the action. For example, licorice root, alfalfa, fennel seed and anise seed aid in digestion. Licorice root also reduces the production of stomach acid (good for heartburn?); and relieves gas, as does anise seed. Anise seed also acts to relieve stomach cramps. Rhubarb is unusual in that in can cause a laxative effect, and it has the opposite effect in small doses!

SHAKLEE Herb-Lax

Signature Formula Herb-Lax Laxative for Occasional Irregularity. Notes in FROM THE FIELD

“Herb-Lax is one of SHAKLEE’s most popular products. Why? Because it gives gentle relief in those who are troubled by constipation and gastric distress. It’s not only gentle; it’s safe, too, cleansing the entire system of toxins without being toxic or harmful itself. The nine herbs in SHAKLEE Signature Formula Herb-Lax Laxative are effective, yet do not damage the sensitive cilia (constantly moving hair-like structures lining the intestinal tract) as chemical laxatives can.

“Constipation and irregularity are a curse of our modern diets. Both contribute significantly to toxic buildup in the blood and lymphatic system. When irregularity or constipation occur, it’s time for Herb-Lax.

“Herb-Lax contains the herb senna leaf (Cassia angustifolia), which has been used as an herbal laxative for more than 3,500 years. Senna has two actions. It triggers the secretion of fluids into the colon, which causes stools to be softer and easier to eliminate. It also stimulates contraction of muscles within the colon to promote elimination.

“Herb-Lax specifically targets irregularity and constipation due to travel, illness, medications you may be taking, or a change in diet. Herb-Lax can be used when beginning a detoxification or colon cleansing program. Herb-Lax was originally formulated by Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee, Sr. Herb-Lax encourages a mild cleansing action to aid the body’s natural processes.” FROM THE FIELD

The label says that 4 tablets may be taken once or twice a day for occasional irregularity.

1. Did you know that diarrhea is just another form of constipation? Therefore, you can use Herb-Lax to help when you have diarrhea, too, though that seems counter-intuitive. Nedra Sahr, nutritionist, points out: the circular muscles around the large intestines are supposed to contract rhythmically to push the feces along the length of the colon to the rectum… If the contractions are too strong and working too fast, the result is diarrhea. Lots of valuable nutrients are lost because there' s not enough time for them to get absorbed. If the contractions are too slow, minerals have time to bind with fats, and create hard stool that leads to constipation.

2 Current research says FIBER is the “daily laxative”. We ought to be getting in 25-30 grams of fiber from all sources every day to give bulk enough that contractions are stimulated. “Normal” is 2-3 bowel movements daily. Did you know that most of us get in only about 13 grams of fiber daily? That’s not surprising when you realize that a slice of WHOLE wheat bread is only 1.60 grams, and an apple 1.06 grams. If we eat a lot of meat (no fiber), cooked veggies (weakened fiber), processed foods (no fiber), dairy (no fiber), sugar and white flour (no fiber)…then we’re a long way from colon health. No wonder colon cancer is on the rise; too many toxins stay in, putrefy, and get reabsorbed. Adding one of SHAKLEE’s easy-to-take fiber supplements may literally save your life.

3. Many SHAKLEE people have increased their daily dietary fiber, but still safely take 1-2 Herb-Lax every night. They feel since it’s Dr. Shaklee’s formula, it’s good for more than its laxative properties. They know the other 8 herbs heal and tone the colon, Carol Robins Dalton, NP, says, Herb-Lax cleanses and purifies the blood, too. Herb-Lax users report clear skin, vigor, regularity, and great health.

4. But Nedra Sahr also cautions that there are so many people who have inflamed bowels these days that not everyone can use it as a 10-day cleanser before they start a nutrition program, nor as a daily-use product. She says YOU DON'T WANT TO EXERCISE INFLAMED TISSUE on a daily basis. Instead, she says that the place to start is with OPTIFLORA, fiber, and water instead of Herb-Lax, as you work to heal the inflammation. (Those with inflammation might need it for occasional constipation, as the gentlest and most effective laxative product on the market, and that’s fine.)

NOTE ABOUT SHAKLEE HERBAL MEDICINES OTC (over the counter) medicines provide safe and effective self-medication, and should be used only as directed.

THE MOM FACTOR

At the base of your brain, where all the nerve endings come together to form your spinal cord, there is something about the size of your thumb called the Reticular Formation. This is a real physical, physiological thing. Part of the Reticular Formation is the Reticular Activating System (RAS). The RAS has one job and one job only. Its job is to filter information; and it is superb at what it does. We are constantly exposed to, and bombarded by so much information, data, stimuli and even opportunities, that if we consciously tried to register it all, process it all and think about it all, we would literally go crazy. We would be in a constant state of "overload". So the RAS (which remember, is VERY good at what it does) constantly filters out "extraneous" and "superfluous" information and data. It's like a "Spam Filter" for your mind.

The crucial question then becomes: How does the RAS determine what it needs to filter out? The RAS is constantly asking three questions in order to decide what you need to know and be aware of:

  • 1. Is it my responsibility?
  • 2. Is it important?
  • 3. Does it match my version of'the truth'?
Whatever information, data or stimuli you are exposed to must satisfy all three questions. It's not the best two out of three. It is not a democracy or majority rules. It must satisfy ALL THREE criteria before the RAS will allow you to be aware of it - that includes any opportunities that you come across. Lets look at the first question the RAS asks to see why you may have blind spots and can't see opportunities that are all around you.

1. "Is it my responsibility"? - Have you ever gone someplace you've never been before, in an unfamiliar part of town, as a passenger in someone else's car? After you got there did you realize that you had absolutely no idea how to find your way home? It has probably happened to most of us. On the other hand, had you driven there yourself, would you have been able to find your way home? More than likely.

Why in the first case were you clueless, but in the second case you noticed the gas station on the corner, the white picket fence, the church steeple and all the other landmarks that would help you find your way out of there? Because, in the second case you knew you were responsible for getting there and back. However, in the first case you knew you weren?t responsible, so your RAS decided you didn't need that information, filtered it out and you never saw the important landmarks that could help you find your way home. The "Mom Factor"

I would like all of you mothers reading this to think back to when your first child was an infant (I'm sure the following was true of all of your children, but think especially of your first child). They were just old enough that they had graduated from the bassinet by your bed to their own crib, in their own room down the hall. The first few weeks do you remember how you would be sound asleep in the middle of the night, and out of a sound sleep, all of the sudden you knew that you had to be down the hall checking on your child. You don't know what you heard; you're not even sure that you had heard anything; you just knew you had to be there, and in a heart beat you are wide awake and at that child's bedside making sure that everything is OK.

It's the third time that night that you have been up to check on your child. As you return to your bed, you decide that it is important for your husband to know that THIS! - IS! - THE! - THIRD! - TIME! that you have been up to check on HIS! child. So, you THROW! yourself on the bed and JERK! the covers back over to you, just to make sure your husband appreciates that this is the THIRD! time you have been up ? and your husband sleeps through the whole thing. He never heard you get up, was never aware that you came back to bed, and never even felt you jerk the covers back over.

Now, in some of your homes, later that night, the family dog starts yapping in the back yard. Dad jumps out of bed, throws open the window, shouts at the dog to shut up, comes back to bed - and Mom sleeps through the whole thing. How is it that Mom can hear a virtually inaudible sleeping baby, but can?t hear barking dogs and Dad can hear dogs, but can't hear babies? It's simple ... in your home the roles have been defined such that Mom is responsible for the baby and Dad is responsible for the dog.

Your RAS will filter out any information that you are not responsible for and make you unaware of it.

I've often heard it said that wisdom comes with age. But, that is not true. The only thing that automatically comes with age - is old. That's all you get. Wisdom comes when you accept responsibility for your life. I know 80-year-olds with no wisdom and 18-year-olds with plenty. The difference is that the 18-year-old has accepted responsibility for their life and future, but the 80-year-old is still blaming everyone and everything around them for their stature in life.

All of us spend the first nine months of our lives on a waterbed. It is warm. It is cozy. All of our needs were met without us having to do a thing. Then we are born, the doctor cut the umbilical cord, slapped us on the rear end and then 95% of us spend the next 50 years of our lives looking around for someone else we can plug our umbilical cord into to take care of us. But, it's not someone else's responsibility. And until you take responsibility for your life and future, your RAS will make you blind to opportunities around you.

Barefoot Healthy Living: Do cleaning products cause breast cancer?

Women who report greater use of cleaning products may be at higher breast cancer risk than those who say they use them sparingly. Researchers writing in BioMed Central’s open access journal Environmental Health asked more than 1500 women about their cleaning product usage and found that women who reported using more air fresheners and products for mold and mildew control had a higher incidence of breast cancer.

Julia Brody, from the Silent Spring Institute, USA, worked with a team of researchers to carry out telephone interviews with 787 women diagnosed with breast cancer and 721 comparison women. She said, “Women who reported the highest combined cleaning product use had a doubled risk of breast cancer compared to those with the lowest reported use. Use of air fresheners and products for mold and mildew control were associated with increased risk. To our knowledge, this is the first published report on cleaning product use and risk of breast cancer.”

The researchers questioned women on product use, beliefs about breast cancer causes, and established and suspected risk factors. They found that cleaning products, air fresheners, and insect repellents were associated with breast cancer, but little association was observed with overall pesticide use.

Women with breast cancer who believed that chemicals and pollutants contribute ‘a lot’ to the risk of developing the condition were more likely to report high product usage. Speaking about this potential bias to the study, Brody said, “When women are diagnosed with breast cancer, they often think about what happened in the past that might have contributed to the disease.

As a result, it may be women with breast cancer more accurately recall their past product use or even over-estimate it. Or, it could also be experience with breast cancerinfluences beliefs about its causes. For example, women diagnosed with breast cancer are less likely to believe heredity contributes ‘a lot’, because most are the first in their family to get the disease.”

In order to avoid possible recall bias, the researchers recommend further study of cleaning products and breast cancer using prospective self-reports and measurements in environmental and biological media.

Barefoot Healthy Living: Do you need Herb-Lax?

This site is especially for people who are seeking answers about Shaklee products and business.

Bottom Line: DR Shaklee knew what he was doing by combining all these natural herbs into one fantastic product called HERBLAX. Today it's still one of our best selling products. Why because it flat out works and it's very cost effective.

What's eating you Acid?

"Exclusive breakthrough reveals—dangerously high acid levels in your body may be the hidden cause behind many health problems.

For optimal health, your body needs at least 72 trace minerals every day to protect you from the ravages of high acidity... the foods you eat only give you about EIGHT of them".

The above is a quote from AOL. This is news? Or is it news? Today, flashing across your computer screen, often, it sounds as if some company has just discovered nature!

For my past several Years in Shaklee, when I have presented the values of our nutritional products, I have always started out with two factors. The first is: Improving your digestion will improve your health, and secondly, I feel it is important to address the topic of acid-alkaline balance.

At that time, I present our Shaklee Alfalfa. The typical diet in our country disrupts the acid-alkaline balance. Meats and grains, (the most frequent choice), are acid forming. We, Americans just do not eat enough veggies or green foods. Some references state the average vegetable is only ten to thirty units alkaline, whereas alfalfa is one of the very highest ranking alkaline foods. This factor is very important in maintaining healthy joints. You would have to consume a huge amount of veggies to equal the amount of alkalinity you will receive from alfalfa.

However, Just any alfalfa does not meet all the requisites. Shaklee Alfalfa is organically grown, using not the stems of the plant, but the tender green leaves. And the Shaklee process does not expose the nutrients to any degree of heat which would destroy the bio-availability, or as Dr Shaklee would refer to "the life force of the plant".

I remember Dr Shaklee, at one time said: "If I had to choose only one product, it would be Alfalfa." I think its is because alfalfa provides not only the important minerals and vitamins, but also the trace minerals not found in other foods, and it provides enzymes to aid in digestion and some protein and the important alkalinity.

Shaklee Alfalfa Testimonial: Forty years ago, I was diagnosed with arthritis & bursitis. The doctors prescribed Darvon. I knew better than to take something that would merely address the symptoms of pain. I wanted to remove the cause, not the just the symptoms. At that time I had not heard about Shaklee. Fortunately, for me, someone I met casually, recommended Shaklee Alfalfa to me. She was not in Shaklee and I never saw her again. I wish I knew who she was so I could express my gratitude. Maybe that is one reason I find it so easy and practically essential to share the good news everywhere I go. We never know what a difference we may make in someone’s life.

It is important to remember, we never diagnose nor prescribe. Dr Shaklee said "When someone asks you what is good for arthritis, you could respond: You don’t want anything good for arthritis, you want something bad for arthritis and good for your body".

Another Dr. Shaklee quote: "We do not treat dis-ease we just treat the body fairly" Another favorite quote is in response to the question: How Many do I take? Dr Shaklee said "Do you count the peas on your plate, this is food."

"They aren’t pills, they won’t cure your ills, they’re just plain food, AND they will improve your mood". The point is we must emphasize wellness and prevention of disease with our food supplements.

Stressed? This might help..

It's a fact of life stress plays a major role on our emotions, physical and mental well being. Heck if you have turned on the news lately that's enough to stress about anybody out! So what do we do when stress factors keep hitting us square in the face? I know at first blush this may be hard to do but you MUST.... Shut down and put out of your mind what is stressing you out if only for an hour. You must give your mind & body time to adjust, and workout a strategic plan. Many times it's not the situation, but it's how we react to a situation that causes so much stress it can be detrimental to your health.

As a Kansas farmers daughter I have certain values drilled into my head. I'm sure you do too. Values about what you perceive to be right or wrong.. I think all of us do, that's one reason when we pay attention to what's happening in America today it upsets us so much. Word of advise... if you have no way of controlling and changing the situation YOU MUST LET IT GO! I'm saying that for your own health OK?

Next you must do what is necessary to protect your body from the Damaging Effects of Stress. The following link is a short informative recording about how the body reacts during stress and what we can do to limit the effects of stress on our body. RECORDING CLICK HERE

If effects of today's world comes back to haunt your personal or business world, you must take the bull by the horns and do what it takes to make the situation have as little effect on your life as possible. One thing I know for sure we all were born into this world and we all someday will die. It's what happens in between that we can do something about.

To a healthy successful journey,

Barefoot Healthy Living: Cleanse and Detox Program


A message from...
Cindy McAsey- Mom w/family and a farm full of animals ~ chasing em til I am 90

Lets face it we are what we eat... Have you ever eaten one of those big fat juicy McDonalds hambugers? I think most of us have. What a bag of greesy potato chips. The liver works harder when it's dealing with heavy, greasy, refined foods. Unfortunatly the garbage that goes in our body doesn't always come out completly. Did you know with a proper detox some folks can loose 20 lbs of weight? Generally that weight is noticed most around the middle. (belly fat)

Detox or cleansing diets can include water, potions, fruit and vegetable juice, raw food, herbal supplements or a combination of approaches. Proponents say they're necessary because our bodies take a lot of abuse from modern life. Conventional doctors, meanwhile, say the lungs, kidneys, liver and skin are perfectly capable of detoxifying on their own. At the very least, there may be an emotional benefit associated with starting over. To detox safely you can consume lots of fresh, raw and organic fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, legumes nuts and seeds. The hard part is finding products are actually what they say they are. The regulations for "organic" labeling are pretty loose to say the least!

The Power of Protein on Barefoot Healthy Living

The Power of Protein

It's essential to the growth, repair, and maintenance of all body tissues. It's also required for making enzymes - catalysts essential to all life processes, and hormones - powerful chemical messengers that circulate through your bloodstream to specific target cells, where they generate a wide range of biological responses. It also helps your body maintain fluid and electrolyte balance, provides a source of energy, and helps your body fight off disease. These are the powers of protein!

These powers are made possible by consuming adequate amounts of dietary protein from a variety of lean meats, fish, and poultry, as well as soy and milk, which supply the body with amino acids, the basic building blocks from which the body can make its own body proteins.

Not All Protein Is Created Equal
Foods provide about 20 different amino acids, of which more than half are considered to be nonessential.?In other words, the body can make them for itself. However, nine other amino acids are considered "essential," meaning the body is unable to make them on its own. And unlike the carbohydrates and fats we consume, amino acids are not stored in the body. Therefore, the body must rely on a constant and steady supply from the protein-rich foods we eat every day.  

So what are the best sources of dietary protein? And is there a difference between animal and vegetable sources? Well, it's true that not all dietary protein is created equal. It really is the protein quality of one's diet that, in large part, determines how well a child will grow and develop and how well an adult will maintain his or her health. Put simply, high-quality proteins provide enough of all the essential amino acids needed to support the body's work, and lower-quality proteins don't. Two key factors that influence protein quality are the protein's digestibility and its amino acid composition. Protein digestibility is a measure of the amount of amino acids absorbed from a given protein intake, and amino acid composition refers to the simultaneous availability of all the needed amino acids from a food we choose to eat. In general, animal-sourced proteins (meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and dairy) are considered high-quality proteins, as is soy, a vegetable-sourced protein. However, other vegetable proteins tend to be of much lower quality and are often referred to as "incomplete" proteins because they do not provide all the essential amino acids the body needs. Incomplete proteins can come from fruits, vegetables, grains, and nuts.

Health Benefits
When most of us think about the health benefits of dietary protein, its role in bodybuilding comes to mind and rightly so. No new body tissue can be built without it. However, research also suggests that the intake of high-quality protein in the context of an overall healthful diet may also have positive effects on our body weight and body composition as we age, as well as play a role in the prevention of chronic diseases such as heart disease, certain types of cancer, and osteoporosis.

  • Weight Management: Studies have shown that achieving a healthy weight and maintaining that weight can help add years to your life, and scientists believe that dietary protein may play an important role in weight management. High-protein diets may promote significantly more weight loss compared to lower protein diets because of protein's role in promoting satiety In a fairly recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers studied the effects of increasing dietary protein while maintaining carbohydrate content on weight loss, appetite, calorie intake, and fat mass in a small group of study participants. Initially, participants were instructed to follow a weight-maintaining diet (50% carbohydrate, 15% protein, 35% fat) for two weeks. Then for the following two weeks, they were asked to follow a diet providing the same amount of calories but with 50% of calories coming from carbohydrate, 30% from protein, and 20% from fat. Two weeks later, they were given an ad libitum diet of  50% carbohydrate, 30% protein, and 20% fat to follow for an additional 12 weeks. Even though subjects could eat as much food as they wanted in those 12 weeks, they actually reduced their calorie intake by an average of 441 calories per day. They also lost an average of 10.8 pounds in body weight and 8.2 pounds of body fat. 
  • Age-Related Muscle Loss: After about age 40, most adults will lose anywhere between 0.5% and 1% of their skeletal muscle mass each year. And in the early years, this gradual loss may go unnoticed because it might be masked by a concurrent increase in body fat. However, chronic muscle loss?or what is known as sarcopenia?is estimated to affect  about 30% of people over age 60 and may affect more than 50% of those over age 80. Insufficient protein intake in older adults can contribute to a loss of muscle, and although the optimal amount of protein to prevent or offset the progression of sarcopenia has yet to be established, research findings suggest that protein intakes modestly above the present recommended dietary allowance of 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day (i.e. 1 gram per kilogram of body weight per day or higher) enhance muscle mass in older adults who regularly perform resistance exercise. Protein intake in older adults also appears to have a more beneficial effect when consumed within an hour or so of resistance exercise. Emerging research also suggests that dairy protein, especially whey protein, may minimize sarcopenia because of its high concentration of leucine, an amino acid known to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. For example, findings in older adults suggest that increasing leucine intake may help restore the protein synthesis response to protein-containing meals, which has been shown to diminish with age.
  • Cardiovascular Disease: One concern that has been raised about the trend in high-protein diets for weight loss has been that eating diets high in protein and fat, and low in carbohydrate, would harm the heart. However, recent research findings suggest that if done in a healthy way, eating a little more protein, especially vegetable protein, while cutting back on refined carbohydrates may actually benefit the heart. A 20-year prospective study of 82,802 women found that those who ate low-carbohydrate diets high in vegetable sources of fat or protein had a 30% lower risk of heart disease, compared to women who ate high-carbohydrate, low-fat diets. But women who ate low-carbohydrate diets that were high in animal fats or proteins did not have a reduced risk of heart disease.
  • Cancer: There's no good evidence that eating a little protein or a lot of it significantly influences cancer risk. However, eating a lot of red meat (cured and processed meats, in particular) has been linked to an increased risk of colon cancer. There also has been considerable investigation of the potential of soy-protein-containing foods to reduce the risk of cancer, especially breast cancer. In a fairly recent review of studies based on Asian populations, higher soy intake was associated with an overall 29% decreased risk of breast cancer. Despite these positive findings, the relationship between soy foods and breast cancer risk has been controversial because of data gathered from cell culture and animal studies that suggest isoflavones (the plant-estrogen-like compounds in soy foods) stimulate the growth of estrogen-sensitive breast cancer cells. This has led to questions about the safety of soy consumption in women with a history of breast cancer or women at high risk for the disease. Research continues in this area, but it?s important to point out that several lines of existing evidence suggest that women with breast cancer can safely consume soy. First, human studies have shown that isoflavones do not stimulate breast cell proliferation or increase breast tissue density (two markers of increased cancer risk), and a lack of harmful effects have been noted in several clinical studies examining the impact of soy food intake on the prognosis of breast cancer patients. In one study, neither soy nor isoflavone intake was related to the disease-free survival rate of breast cancer patients over a five-year follow-up period, and in a second study, higher soy intake was associated with a more favorable outcome for both total mortality and disease-specific mortality or relapse during a follow up period of two years. And even better news is that the benefit of soy food intake on survival was more pronounced among women with estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer. Although these studies are encouraging, breast cancer remains a very serious health condition. Women with a history of breast cancer should seek the advice of their doctor concerning the consumption of soy foods as part of an overall healthful diet.
  • Osteoporosis: Prevention of osteoporosis is a public health priority and among nutritional factors, most attention has focused on the beneficial role of calcium. However, in addition to calcium, many other nutrients are necessary for bone health, including protein. Findings from many, but not all, epidemiological studies point to a beneficial role for dietary protein in bone health. High-protein intakes have been associated with reduced bone loss, high bone-mineral density, and reduced fracture risk in older adults. In a recent trial, increasing protein intake, especially when accompanied by calcium and vitamin D, reduced bone loss, improved muscle strength, and shortened the hospital stay in older patients with hip fractures whose usual intake of dietary protein was low.

    On the other hand, some studies suggest that excessive dietary protein intake may have detrimental effects on bone because of its effect on urinary calcium excretion. This controversy may be explained by other nutrients in food or the source of dietary protein. For example, dietary protein has been shown to exert a positive effect on the skeleton of older adults when calcium intake is adequate, but not when calcium intake is low.

    Because protein exists in close association with other nutrients in the diet, it is important to consider protein?s role in bone health in the context of foods or the overall dietary pattern. A number of studies have demonstrated that intake of milk and other dairy products benefits bone health. Dairy products such as milk are a unique source of protein because their calcium content is high relative to their protein content and they contain other bone-supporting nutrients such as phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, and vitamins A, D, and K.

How Much Protein Is Enough?  
Although no one-size-fits-all answer exists for that question and research on the topic is still emerging, the current recommended dietary allowance for protein is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day for healthy young adults. That comes to about 62 grams of protein a day for a person who weighs 170 pounds. Although growing children, pregnant women, nursing mothers, and older adults may need a little more (1.0-1.3 grams per kilogram of body weight), getting the minimum daily requirement of protein is fairly easy. Cereal with milk for breakfast, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch, and a piece of fish with a side of beans for dinner adds up to about 70 grams of protein.

It?s also important to pay attention to what comes along with the protein in your food choices. An eight-ounce broiled porterhouse steak is a great source of complete protein?54 grams worth. But it also delivers 44 grams of fat, 16 of which are saturated. Saturated fats raise blood cholesterol, and high blood cholesterol increases the risk of heart disease. On the other hand, a cup of cooked lentils has 18 grams of protein, but less than one gram of fat.

Vegetable sources of protein, including soy protein beverage mixes, are also an excellent choice and many also provide healthful amounts of other essential nutrients such as fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The best animal protein choices are fish and poultry. If you are partial to red meat, such as beef, pork, or lamb, stick with the leanest cuts, choose moderate portion sizes, and make it only an occasional part of your diet.

Barefoot Healthy Living: Healthy Christmas Snack

The Healthy Christmas Snack

Protein Balls

Prep Time: 30 minutes (15 minutes to mix, 15 minutes to roll into balls)

Basic Ingredients:
1 c. Natural Peanut Butter
1 c. Honey
1 c. Shaklee protein powder (cocoa protein powder makes the balls especially yummy)

Add-In Ingredients (4 cups total, create your own combination!):
Sunflower seeds
Peanuts
Chocolate chips
Granola
Oatmeal
Raisins
Dried cranberries
Oat bran
Wheat germ
Flax seed (ground or whole)

Directions:
Mix together the basic ingredients in a large bowl: peanut butter, honey, and protein powder. Add 4 cups total of the add-in ingredients. (Peanuts, oatmeal, and chocolate chips are a delicious classic.)

The more dry ingredients you add, the stiffer the mixture gets. You want the protein balls to stick together when you roll them, but you don’t want them to be so sticky that they won’t hold shape. Add more oatmeal, wheat germ, or oat bran if your mixture is too goopy. Add more honey if your mixture is too dry.

Roll the mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter. This is the tedious part—so get the kids involved! Refrigerate the balls (or freeze any extra). You can stack them in Tupperware and separate the layers with waxed paper.

~Pop a couple throughout the day when you feel concentration and motivation are low~

Barefoot Healthy Living: Go for it....No regrets!

One of the great benefits of a Shaklee Business is the personal developement your recieve. When I read this message this morning from Gary Burke it reminded me of something I heard when I first started in the business. "Whatever you do DON'T QUIT" over the years I've gotten so many phone calls from past distributors who did quit and tell me how they regret their past decision.

Go for it....No regrets!~by Gary Burke

I received the following statement (in quotes) about regrets a few days ago and I've read it several times and it has made me think. It's really quite a strong statement about the choices we make as people.

"Regrets are a result from poor choices made on decisions based on temptation, doubt, fear, frustration and anger."

I think one reason I have given this some thought is I can remember some of the early times while building our Shaklee business when I would get frustrated because it just didn't seem to be growing as fast as I wanted it to. All kinds of thoughts would start coming to mind and most of them were negative. Wondering if this Shaklee opportunity would really work for us the way it did for others we heard about and saw at various meetings.

Wonder, doubt, temptation to quit, and most of all frustration. As I think back though, the issue really was about me and not the opportunity. I expected more than my skills could deliver. I had to learn the HOW TO's.......How to prospect effectively....getting appointments....telling the Shaklee story....understanding the compensation plan....I had to develop certain skills.

I'm a competitive guy. Always have been. I loved the competition of athletics and that is what would eventually win over all the frustration and/or doubtful thinking. Every team I was ever on, the coach always talked about fundamentals, working hard and having a great attitude, and above all "you never want to quit."

I was not going to quit. I wanted what the Shaklee opportunity offered and I knew if others could build successfully, so could I. I just refused to live a life of regret.

No one ever fails at building a Shaklee business. But many quit! Many people make decisions based on frustration, doubt, and other negative thoughts. Don't allow it to happen to you. Work hard and develop the skills you need to make Shaklee work for you. If you do I know this....You will never, ever regret hanging in there tough, you'll never, ever regret sticking with it, you'll never regret the effort it takes to develop the skills you need.

Work hard. Put in the effort it requires. Smile! Laugh! Have fun! Go for it! No regrets! Don't ever give up........Never give up!

Boogie Woogie Dance makes you Feel Good!


A message from...
Cindy McAsey the barefootmentor


When I saw this video I knew you should see it too... Dancing brings out so many creative ideas for me I hope it moves you the same way. Isn't it wonderful it is to be vibrant and healthy like the dancers in this video.


Link to video

My feet are still tapping. Are you ready to go dancing too? Lets be honest.. Nothing is more important than your health. As I shared in my last message to you our mind plays an important role in our health.

A perfect example is a story about Fred who went in for a routine exam. Now Fred is 75 years young and has never been sick a day in his life, but due to constant nagging from his wife who may as well live in the doctors office he went.

When routine blood work came back with a elevated PSA that's when all havoc broke loose. The doctor recommended he go in for a bioposy and his wife insisted too. Unfortunately the local hospital running the test couldn't get Fred in right away.

The earliest possible appointment wasn't for 6 weeks. Fred went home and started worrying what the biopsy would show. He went from an active 75 yr old who was an active gardener, to basically and feeble old man would could barely get up to sit in front of the television. When the day of the biopsy rolled around Fred looked like someone had just handed him a death warrant.

Fortunately Fred came through the biopsy surgery OK, but you could tell he still had the worry deep down of what test results would show. When test came back normal it was like Fred had gotten a new lease on life. He got home put his work clothes on and got busy living life again. I don't know how many folks have gone through what Fred did, but I do know it doesn't have to be like this.

Just recently New England Journal of Medicine concluded that screening for prostate cancer has little or no effect in prolonging men’s lives, and the risks posed by unnecessary treatment may outweigh the benefits of early detection. Imagine that!

In conclusion I encourage you to surround yourself with what makes you happy in life.... Such as this video that makes you feel like dancing too.

Don't ignore your health but feed your body with nutrients proven to support long term health... Such as Vitalizer

Liquid Supplement: The Anti-Aging Powerhouse


A message from...
Cindy McAsey-Mom with 2 kids a husband & a farm full of animals

The Facts and tests are in Resveratrol is indeed a breakthrough ingredient in our liquid supplement. In fact our liquid supplement is so much more powerful than taking resveratrol alone.

Resveratrol has wonderful anti-aging antioxidant properities. Imagine this it's an ingredient in red wine!

Reserveratrol is most abundant in the skins of red grapes used to make red wine. It slows the buildup of platelets in blood vessels, making them less sticky. This improves the blod flow. Resveratrol can slow the growth of cancer, stimulate your immune system, lower inflammation and act as a powerful antioxidant.

Researchers and MD Anderson Cancer Center in Huston show resveratrol blocks prostrate cancer at every stage. It helps more than a dozen different anticancer mechanisms in your body. What's more, resveratrol targets cancer cells selectively. It's toxic to cancer cells but doesn't harm healthy cells. It also modulates hormones; stops cancer cells from multiplying and can actually destroy cancer cells.

Resveratrol may add years to your life, too. studies using bother mice and yeast show resveratrol turns on a gene that stimulates a protein called SIRT. The greater activity of SIRT, the greater the life span of yeast and mice. It turns out that humans can also activate the SIRT protein with resveratrol.

Business Franchise hardly anybody knows about


A message from...
Cindy McAsey-Marketing Strategies Coach


The problems we are faced with in a down economy is all over CNN, BBC, FOX News ...have been releasing reports daily of market turmoil, multiple bank failures, soaring foreclosures, and skyrocketing unemployment.

Every one of us has witnessed or is feeling the harsh effects on our economy in one way or another.

To make matters worse, business owners, top professionals in the mortgage business, real estate and insurance business are struggling financially and are facing a major crisis.

As a small business entrepreneur we must seek out solutions. We must not only shift gears in the midst of a downturn, but also shift our energy to stay out of fear mode, which is even more important — and tougher to do.

In Tough Times, Tackle Anxiety First

Here's a simple six-step program for “shifting yourself out of fear-based operating mode and getting back on track towards success.”

The first step, is to confess that you are, in fact, afraid. Stress, worry and apprehension are all elements of fear. I admit it is scary right now being in business, but that is what entrepreneurship is all about.

The second step is to respond to that fear with calm deliberation rather than rash acts that may push your businesses into deeper trouble.

The third is for small businesses to refocus their efforts on things they can excell in.

The fourth is to “reframe the story” by looking for new opportunities in difficult times.
The fifth is for entrepreneurs to maintain a balance between their work and personal lives.

The sixth is to seek out a critic who will give unvarnished feedback about potential blind spots.

Did you know that while the majority of folks in America are fighting for survival a privileged few are building a steady, stable, strong business? These folks know something that you don't.

They aren't jumping on the latest greatest thing since sliced bread. (rash acts) These folks are maintaining the calm deliberation, reframing by looking for real honest opportunities and taking advise that goes to the heart of the matter. Don't Panic!

I want to share this short video from the CEO of Shaklee, Roger Barnett giving an explaination of why he launched the latest incentive called "The Power of 10"

Bottomline..our Business Franchise Online offers REAL opportunities for REAL people.

#4 Rule for Happiness and Contentment

Happiness is an attribute of love; therefore, you can never be happy until you give your love to others. Let your emotion of love warm the heart of someone and see an ample supply of happiness reflected upon you. A selfish person may depend on gaining possessions to bring happiness, but soon will find that such possessions reflect only their own selfish thoughts.

Sow the Seeds of Happiness in Others, and You Will reap A Joyful Harvest.

Business Franchise Online: Rule #2 for Happiness and Contentment


A message from...
Cindy McAsey-Marketing Strategies Coach


To gain happiness, you must discover and enjoy what you have. It is not how much you have. It is what we THINK about how much we have which produces happiness. In building a happy contented life you must give happiness to others. No one living for himself will ever be contented.

Your happiness is reflected upon you through service you give to others.... and the thought you give to the creation of happiness will attract a happniess-service from others.

Start creating happiness-habit by producing happy love filled thoughts.

"As a man thinketh in his heart so is he."

When I discovered the company in this short video my level of happiness grew much stronger. I feel it's because the values align so closely with who I am. I feel a close parallel between my business "Barefoot in the Garden" and the philosophy "created by nature."

What values do you align with?

Barefoot Marketing Strategies: Luxury Vacation Resorts.. What do you want in the Recession?


A message from...
Cindy McAsey-Marketing Strategies Coach


Franchise Business: What does a SMART Small Business Entrepreneur Do in a Recession?

You know I LOVE twitter, but over the last week I have seen a sense of panic, mostly because I have been focusing on a target market that isn't currently a small business owner. There is so much education to be done for some of these poor souls or at least they think they are poor because the media tells them how bad it is.

I've got "NEWS" for you just because the media paints a doom and gloom picture it doesn't have to be like that. Let's face it. Doom and gloom sells. Look at 911 how many people (including me) were glued to the TV watching and listening. Remember the year 2000 scare when all electronic data was going to be wiped out? Did it happen? NO... Did some people take advantage of it a make a boat load? YES

It amazes me these predictors are not held accountable for their stupidity when the bad things DON’T come to pass. Sadly, I’ve found that some of the greatest tragedies I’ve seen in my life, like 9/11, Huricane Katrina, and earth quakes, tsunamis, and other disasters were not predicted or prevented in any real way at all.

Any thinking person understands depressions, natural disasters, war, and more... does happen and that is unfortunately a part of life as we know it. But the media doesn’t want you to ‘think’… they want you to be afraid and dependant and turn to them for ‘comfort’ day in and day out (bad, bad idea… they never report ‘good news’). To my knowledge, worrying about such events has not prevented any of them!

Action and imagination solve problems a whole lot better than ‘worrying’.

After all…

Napoleon Hill didn’t write, ‘Worry and Grow Rich’, did he?

However, the doomsayers predict doom almost every day it and the media seems eerily cheerful in reporting on anything negative that happens around the world in real time, 24 hours a day year round. What is missing is perspective.

Miracles, recovery, healing, new discoveries, massive profits, enlightenment, giving, growth, birth, beauty and joy are ALSO happening every day around the world.

But you’d never know about it if you rely on the NEWS media for your view of reality.

If you want to profit from these times, let McCain, Obama, the stock market, real estate woes and the nattering ninnies in Congress shuffle papers around to their hearts content. And ignore them. If you have real estate problems or stock troubles, educate yourself on how to best deal with those issues. Tell yourself over and over.. "If it is to be it's up to me" Don't rely on anyone to bail you out!

Don’t envy or resent the ‘rich’, join them! The Money is still right under our noses. In fact this "recession" will produce more billionaires than ever before. (Some people are THRILLED to see it coming) Stocks and Real Estate will be bought at rock bottom prices. (Only to be sold for massive profits in a few short years) Advertising for your business will be much cheaper, because there won't be the competition from the nervous nellies.

SMART Small Business Entrepreneurs are...

  • Proactive. We see something coming and we do something about it. We take the bull by the horns.
  • Focus on Sales. Bottomline we are in sales may as well admit it. We focus on Sales, not the "news"
  • Focus on Value. We market and sell products that add good value. Something that is consumable that consumers need and want.
  • Focus on Abundance. Think in terms of abundance we understand there is plenty of money out there and we can make as much as we want.
  • Ready to take Action. We think outside the box and are ready to take advantage of opportunity when it comes our way.
  • Focus on Marketing. We constantly invest (time and money) in marketing we know our business must be preforming marketing that works, we test it, we track it, we know what's working.
Did I describe who you are or want to be? Your best option to increase your income is to growing a profitable small business of your own. Seek out those who ARE successful and discover what they are doing. Stay current on what is working in your industry… and in marketing. Choose carefully… Every day I read, listen to mp3’s, and watch videos on all kinds of subjects about what IS working. I recommend you do the same.

To your Success,

Online Training: What do guineas, fleas, and ticks have to do with web conference rooms

Online Training: What do guineas, fleas, and ticks have to do with web conference rooms?

When you live on a farm in Kansas sometimes your suroundings come through in the web conferencing recording. You will get the short story in this web conferencing recording.

I decided to save this web conference online training and load the whole file up to my server. Not that it's necessarly the best online training I've done, in fact when I re-listened to the recording I just about didn't post it.

There is time during this training that my guineas start making so much noise that I have to stop the training and close the window! If you don't mind hearing real world day to day things that happen on our farm in Kansas then this is a must listen to training.

Here is the link: http://www.barefoot-in-the-garden.com/R/cindy422/index.htm

Just so you know this recording is un-edited and everyone who was in the class text chats show so it's really pretty much like being live in web conference. In this recording I cover most of the basic features of VereConference how to use the screen casting, basic recording features, locking the room etc.

For the perfectionists watching this recording I realize I didn't have the back drop of my screen casting exactly perfect but decided to post the recording anyway. Most of you who have been to my trainings know I'm really picky about that stuff. Please overlook the imperfections to learn what this amazing web conferencing system can do for your business.

btw... as I write this our guineas are up letting their presence be known again this morning.

Barefoot Secrets of Luxury Living a Long Healthy prosperous Life


A message from...
Cindy McAsey-Marketing Strategies Coach


In the next few minutes you are going to learn why I'm so passionate about the products and give you some insider information about the trends we see happening.

Did you know our company was the #1 natural nutritional company in USA? My hottest selling product is one of the first products our company made over 50 years ago. It's an Herbal laxative. It actually works kind of like a toothbrush on your intestines scrubbing them from the inside out. Did you know that the average americian carries around 20 LBS of waste in their intestines? They do... Actually this product works as a normalizer not and laxative like most people assume.

Don't be okay with feeling just okay. If you're like nine out of 10 Americans, you don't eat enough fruits and vegetables, which can really affect your health down the line. That's a great reason to supplement what you eat. But the important question is, how do you feel today? Your answer should be nothing short of fantastic. Watch this short video that explains the secret to great health and vitality.

Live Long and Prosper as a Shaklee Distributor! Wonder what life will be like in your 80's... imagine in your 90's? Imagine your life the way these two amazing Shaklee Business Leaders are living it! Their lifestyle and well-being have been supported by their involvement as a Shaklee Distributors for over 30 years.

In times of economic stress, it's a relief to know that there is an answer... you can live a healthy, financially secure lifestyle, with residual income you've built over time so that you can enjoy your golden years! Just like these two incredible people!

Viola Hardy - It's never too late to make a dream come true, and this 94-year-old Shaklee Distributo proved it by qualifying early for Hawaii!

Dean Smith - Imagine earning gold in your golden years! This Lifetime Master Coordinator became a world class athlete after joining Shaklee is his 40s, and at 82, nobody in his age group, in the world, beats his time!

Living a long, healthy, prosperous life is what Shaklee has been about for over 50 years. With Vitamin Package and now, with the addition of Anti- Aging Tonic - the world's best anti-aging supplement* - then top it off with Truely-Infinite Plan, which pays you to infinite levels, there's no limit to the foundation you can build for an active and healthy future!

Barefoot Marketing Strategies Using Veretekk

How Veretekk is works to build your business with Social Networking

Last night in our weekly web conference I had someone ask me have you ever brought someone into the business through social networking? With out having Veretekk as a tool it would be next to impossible to build the relationships I've built in Social Networking. This morning as I was doing my usual social networking follow up, I glanced at the string of messages a new facebook contact and I have had this week and thought, this is it!


This is the perfect lesson to show you exactly how social networking using Veretekk works! Again my hats off to Tom Prendergast and Mike Darling for putting together an awesome neutral system we can use to build online social relationships with.

Apparently Peggy found my profile on facebook and requested to be my friend, I replied with a short note saying "Thank you for the add" .. here was her reply...

A friend of mine here (part of the City of Timmins, NE Ontario - 8 hours NORTH of Toronto,Ontario) is from Abilene, KS. Her maiden name is Engle. Right now her Dad is visiting with her. How long have you been with the company you represent now? How old is the company? Until next time

Hi Peggy,
I think Amway is going on 50 years too. Our neighbor is one of the top dogs in Amway, he has built a "retirement" house 2 miles from his "mansion" all within a mile from us.. the "mansion" that includes a conference center is up for sale to the tune of 2.5 million.. so the neighbors say! Everyone wonders who they will get in our little rural community to purchase! I'm thinking possible a business of some kind. It was built on a golf course and is beautiful.

Engles? There are many in our community. Mike Engle I remember from High School. Amber Engle who used to be Amber Rock... I could go on and on..

I see your in network marketing too... One of the tools I use that has skyrocketed my business is Veretekk http://barefoot.veretekk.com It's done so much for my business I can't explain in a short message. I do have a testimonial at: http://quikonnex.com/channel/item/31948 I also have an information page that will give you more of the features at: http://cindy.veretekk.com/platinumcontrol.htm The nice thing about Veretekk they offer a free version of all their tools and sites.

Okay, Veretekk. How different is it from Cutting Edge Media and other leads generation systems? How much does it cost per month, etc. Thank you for introducing it to me - I look forward to hearing/learning more about it. Yes I am also in NWM or MLM or whatever the latest word for it is! lol I gather you still market ****** as well as doing your internet business?
Take care
Until next time
Peggy (& Ted)

Cindy
Today at 6:21am
Hi Peggy,
Veretekk is very different from Cutting Edge Media... In Veretekk you are taught how to generate your own leads. NOT purchase leads. BIG DIFFERENCE. In Veretekk you can sign up for free and take a test drive see how the system works... it's not just a limited trial either. You can continue a silver freee membership forever if you want too. Yes they do have 2 other levels of membership. The gold membership is 41.95 per month and coming soon is the Platinum. When I first looked at Veretekk I saw the power of having your own lead capture pages offering stuff for freee and a I also saw the affiliate program and soon learned I could have a cost free marketing system. Personally Veretekk brings in nice checks every month paying for my marketing costs. It can do the same for you too if you want it too.

Peggy in my business everything I do online leads back into *****. Yes I have multiple streams of income coming into my business, but it's the primary business income that will be passed down to my kids and future generations. It's the ****** income that comes in month after month from customers purchasing the products from my website wether I'm working or not.
Take Care,
Cindy McAsey

THAT'S how it done! Social Networking is all about building relationships and communication. Sometimes it's in the form of text messages.. such is the case in Twitter. or.. sometimes it's in the form of private email messages like this example... and sometimes it leads to a phone conversation, but not always.

Others are mirrors of your own self-image. You will be drawn to others for the positive qualities you believe exist within you. In a similar way you will tend to hate others who reflect back to you those qualities you fear most in yourself. You already have th answers to life's questions. All you need to do is look, listen within, and trust your intuitive powers.

Barefoot Luxury Vacation and the 50/20 Rule


A message from...
Cindy McAsey-Marketing Strategies Coach


Barefoot Luxury Vacations: 80/20 Rule Technique

The 80/20 Rule is one of the most helpful of all concepts of time and life management. It is also called the Pareto Principle after its founder, the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who first wrote about it in 1895. Pareto noticed that people in his society seemed to divide naturally into what he called the "vital few," the top 20% in terms of money and influence, and the "trivial many," the bottom 80%.

Pareto later discovered that virtually all economic activity was subject to this his Principle as well. For example, this rule says that 20% of your activities will account for 80% of your results. 20% of your customers will account for 80% of your sales. 20% of your products or services will account for 80% of your profits. 20% of your tasks will account for 80% of the value of what you do, and so on. This means that if you have a list of ten items to do, two of those items will turn out to be worth as much or more than the other eight items put together.

Here is an interesting discovery. Each of these tasks may take the same amount of time to accomplish. But one or two of those tasks will contribute five or ten times the value as any of the others. Often, one item on a list of ten things that you have to do can be worth more than all the other nine items put together. This task is invariably the one that you should do first.

The most valuable tasks you can do each day are often the hardest and most complex. But the payoff and rewards for completing these tasks efficiently can be tremendous. For this reason, you must adamantly refuse to work on tasks in the bottom 80% while you still have tasks in the top 20% left to be done. Before you begin work, always ask yourself, "Is this task in the top 20% of my activities or in the bottom 80%?"

The hardest part of any important task is getting started on it in the first place. Once you actually begin work on a valuable task, you seem to be naturally motivated to continue. There is a part of your mind that loves to be busy working on significant tasks that can really make a difference. Your job is to feed this part of your mind continually.

Time management is really life management, personal management. It is really taking control over the sequence of events. Time management is control over what you do next. And you are always free to choose the task that you will do next. Your ability to choose between the important and the unimportant is the key determinant of your success in life and work. Effective, productive people discipline themselves to start on the most important task that is before them. They force themselves to eat that frog, whatever it is. As a result, they accomplish vastly more than the average person and are much happier as a result. This should be your way of working as well.

Make a list of all the key goals, activities, projects and responsibilities in your life today. Which of them are, or could be, in the top 10% or 20% of tasks that represent, or could represent, 80% or 90% of your results? Resolve today that you are going to spend more and more of your time working in those few areas that can really make a difference in you life and career, and less and less time on lower value activities.

Barefoot Techniques for Communication


A message from...
Cindy McAsey-Marketing Strategies Coach


Techniques for Communication via the Telephone

Do you persuade customers, teammates, bosses or employees via the telephone? Like it or not, you're in telephone sales. Even with all the technology on the the Internet, lots of business still revolves around the phone.

Here are some quick tips for making your point more powerful.

Talk clearly. Use short sentences. Talk loud enough but don't over-modulate the mouthpiece (that's announcer talk for distortion). This can be especially tricky when you're on the cell phone in the car. I use a bluetooth ear piece, making it easy to take notes or ordering information. Word of caution do not try to multi-task, carefully listen to what the other person is saying so you know how to respond.

Here's a technique I discovered from talking to newspaper reporters back in the corporate days. When you're talking with a reporter and you want them to write down particular points but not others, vary your pace. Talk fast through the points you don't feel are important, but slow down and enunciate the important parts you want in print. The same works for selling on the telephone.

Leave the script behind. Instead, jot down a few phrases that remind you of your important points. Ad-lib around these to keep your pitch on track. Fear of the phone can be big hurdle for many online marketers. Educate yourself about the product or service you promote. Become a product of the product. Then selling on the phone becomes like talking to your best friend when you know in your heart what's best for them.

Work At Home Internet Forum

An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site. It originated as the modern equivalent of a traditional bulletin board, and a technological evolution of the dialup bulletin board system. From a technological standpoint, forums or boards are web applications managing user-generated content.

People participating in an Internet forum may cultivate social bonds and interest groups for a topic made from the discussions.

Early Internet forums could be described as a web version of an electronic mailing list or newsgroup such as exist on Usenet; allowing people to post messages and comment on other messages. Later developments emulated the different newsgroups or individual lists, providing more than one forum, dedicated to a particular topic.

Internet forums are prevalent in several developed countries. In terms of countable posts, Japan is far in the lead with over two million posts per day on their largest forum, 2channel. China also has many millions of posts on forums such as Tianya Club.

Forums perform a function similar to that of dial-up bulletin board systems and Usenet networks that were first created starting in the late 1970s. Early web-based forums date back as far as 1996. A sense of virtual community often develops around forums that have regular users. Technology, computer games and/or video games, sports, music, fashion, religion, and politics are popular areas for forum themes, but there are forums for a huge number of topics. Internet slang and image macros popular across the Internet are abundant and widely used in Internet forums.

Forum software packages are widely available on the Internet and are written in a variety of programming languages, such as PHP, Perl, Java and ASP. The configuration and records of posts can be stored in text files or in a database. Each package offers different features, from the most basic, providing text-only postings, to more advanced packages, offering multimedia support and formatting code usually known as BBCode. Many packages can be integrated easily into an existing website to allow visitors to post comments on articles.

Several other web applications, such as weblog software, also incorporate forum features. WordPress comments at the bottom of a blog post allow for a single-threaded discussion of any given blog post. Slashcode, on the other hand, is far more complicated, allowing fully threaded discussions and incorporating a robust moderation and meta-moderation system as well as many of the profile features available to forum users.

Forums are governed by a set of individuals, collectively referred to as staff, made up of administrators and moderators, which are responsible for the forums' conception, technical maintenance, and policies creation and enforcing. Most forums have a list of rules detailing the wishes, aim and guidelines of the forums creators. There is usually also a FAQ section contain basic information for new members and people not yet familiar with the use and principles of a forum generally tailored for specific forum software.

Rules on forums usually apply to the entire user body and often have preset exceptions, most commonly designating a section as an exception. For example, in an IT forum any discussion regarding anything but computer programming languages may be against the rules, with the exception of a general chat section.

Forum rules are maintained and enforced by the moderation team, but users are allowed to help out via what is known as a report system. Most American forum software contains such a system. It consists of a small function applicable to each post including one's own. Using it will notify all currently available moderators of its location, and subsequent action or judgment can be carried out immediately, which is particularly desirable in large or very developed boards. Generally, moderators encourage members to also use the private message system if they wish to report behavior. Moderators will generally frown upon attempts of moderation by non-moderators, especially when the would-be moderators do not even issue a report. Messages from non-moderators acting as moderators generally declare a post as against the rules, or predict punishment. While not harmful, statements which attempt to enforce the rules are discouraged.

When rules are broken several steps are commonly taken. First a warning is usually given; this is commonly in the form of a private message but recent development has made it possible for it to be integrated into the software. Subsequently, if the act is ignored and warnings do not work, the member is usually first exiled from the forum for a number of days. Denying someone access to the site is called a ban. Bans can mean the person can no longer log in or even view the site anymore. If the offender, after the warning sentence, repeats the offense, another ban is given, usually this time a longer one. Continuous harassment of the site eventually leads to a permanent ban. However, in most cases this simply means the account is locked. In extreme cases where the offender after being permanently banned creates another account and continues to harass the site, administrators will apply an IP ban this can also be applied at the server level: if the IP is static, the machine of the offender is prevented from accessing the site. In some extreme circumstances, IP range bans or country bans can be applied; however, this is usually for political, licensing or other reasons.

Offending content is usually deleted. Sometimes if the topic is considered the source of the problem, it is locked; often a poster may request a topic expected to draw problems to be locked as well, although the moderators decide whether to grant it. In a locked thread, members cannot post anymore. In cases where the topic is considered a breach of rules it – with all of its posts – may be deleted.

A thread sometimes called a topic is a collection of posts, usually displayed from oldest to latest, although this is typically configurable: options for newest to oldest and for a threaded view a tree like view applying logical reply structure before chronological order can be available. A thread is defined by a title, an additional description that may summarize the intended discussion, and an opening or original post common abbreviation OP, which can also mean original poster which opens whatever dialogue or makes whatever announcement the poster wished. A thread can contain any number of posts, including multiple posts from the same members, even if they are one after the other.

A thread is contained in a forum, and may have an associated date which is taken as the date of the last post options to order threads by other criteria are generally available. When a member posts in a thread it will jump to the top since it is the latest updated thread. Similarly, other threads will jump in front of it when they receive posts. When a member posts in a thread for no reason but to have it go to the top, it is referred to as a bump or bumping. Threads which are important but rarely receive posts are stickyed. A sticky thread will always appear in front of normal threads, often in its own section.

A threads popularity is measured on forums in reply total posts minus one the opening post counts. Some forums also track page views. Threads meeting a set number of posts or a set number of views may receive a designation such as hot thread and be displayed with a different icon compared to others threads. This icon may stand out more to emphasize the thread.

A forum, just like any website, is only as good as its content. The richness of any work at home forum is entirely dependent upon the writing ability, and the members who post to said forum regularly.

It is the purpose of the work at home forum here, to provide Google readers with excellent information in regards to the art and science of working at home. There has never been a better time in history for the work at home field. Joining a business, then developing that business to its full potential, is the goal of ItsGoodBusiness.net (read more)

Prickly Pear Cactus

Opuntia, also known as nopales or paddle cactus, is a genus in the cactus family, Cactaceae.

Currently, only prickly pears are included in this genus of about 200[1] species distributed throughout most of the Americas. Chollas are now separated into the genus Cylindropuntia, which some still consider a subgenus of Opuntia. Austrocylindropuntia, Corynopuntia and Micropuntia are also often included in the present genus, but like Cylindropuntia they seem rather well distinct. Brasiliopuntia and Miqueliopuntia are closer relatives of Opuntia.

The most commonly culinary species is the Indian and Southwestern variety. Most culinary uses of the term prickly pear refer to this species. Prickly pears are also known as tuna, nopal or nopales, from the Nahuatl word nōpalli for the pads, or nostle, from the Nahuatl word nōchtli for the fruit; or paddle cactus (from the resemblance to the ball and paddle toy. This and similar species are native to Mexico.

Prickly pears typically grow with flat, rounded platyclades that are armed with two kinds of spines; large, smooth, fixed spines and small, hairlike prickles called glochids, that easily penetrate skin and detach from the plant. Many types of prickly pears grow into dense, tangled structures.

Like all true cactus species, prickly pears are native only to the Western hemisphere; however, they have been introduced to other parts of the globe. Prickly pear species are found in abundance in Mexico, especially in the central and western regions. They are also found in the Western United States, in arid regions in the Northwest, throughout the mid and lower elevations of the Rocky Mountains such as in Colorado, where species such as Opuntia phaeacantha, Opuntia polyacantha and others become dominant, and especially in the desert Southwest. Prickly pears are also the only types of cactus found to grow natively far east of the Great Plains states; O. humifusa is widespread throughout southern New England and Long Island, where it can be found in Northport, as well as throughout the northern Great Lakes states and southern Ontario, Canada. O. humifusa is also a prominent feature of the flora at Illinois Beach State Park, in Winthrop Harbor, Illinois, north of Chicago, and of Indiana Dunes State Park southeast of Chicago.

Most species of Opuntia contain a range of alkaloids in ample quantities, notably substituted phenethylamines. While the mere presence of such compounds has been confirmed in many species without further details, they have been studied more thoroughly in others. Identified compounds of medical significance include 3 methoxytyramine, candicine, hordenine, N-methyltyramine, and tyramine. The Sicilian prickly pear contains the betalain antioxidants betanin and indicaxanthin, with highest levels in their fruits.

The stem of certain Opuntia have been investigated in the treatment of type II diabetes. Although some researchers have shown a blood glucose-lowering effect of streptacantha, another study of three other species of Opuntia showed no such effect. Yet another study, on megacantha, raised concern about toxic effects on the kidney.

It may be that certain species are effective and useful in diabetes while others are not, but this needs to be clarified with further research before recommending its use. Furthermore, when buying nopal in the market, it is impossible to know which species one is buying, and therefore whether or not it is useful in treating diabetes.

Indian Fig Opuntia might have a reducing effect on alcohol hangover by inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators. Studies have yielded differing results, with some studies witnessing significant reductions in nausea, dry mouth, and loss of appetite as well as less risk of a severe hangover, while others witnessing no compelling evidence for effects on alcohol hangover. The gel like sap of prickly pears can be used as hair conditioner.

In Mexico and the Southwest, its pulp and juice have been used to treat numerous maladies, such as wounds and inflammations of the digestive and urinary tracts.

TriVita, located in Scottsdale, Arizona, is solely responsible for introducing Nopalea, the liquid anti-inflammation product that is becoming well known for its incredible ability to reduce inflammation and pain in the human body. Michael Ellison, the CEO and Founder of TriVita, on his own wellness journey, came full circle with the prickly pear Nopal cactus plant properties, and saw the vision of helping people solve their health and wellness issues. While Nopalea is by no means a curative, it is helping hundreds of thousands of people around the world lead better and more pain free lives.

Australia Business

Australia is a very large country with a relatively small population - it is about the same size as the 48 States which make up the bulk of the USA but has a population half the size of that of California. Vast tracts of the country are virtually uninhabited, making Australia one of the most urbanized countries in the world. Australian business is inheritantly important to the world, and is constantly seeking new and better ways to provide Australian citizens with significant ways to earn money for financial security.

The lack of a domestic market of any real size, coupled with a comparative level of geographic isolation, means that Australian businesses increasingly recognize the need to look at international markets to ensure their own future prosperity as well as the future well-being of the country. Indeed, a criticism that has been levelled against Australian business organizations has been their slowness to take up the challenge of internationalization.

Thus, Australia finds itself needing to become ever more international in its outlook both economically and politically. The extremely successful economy is dependent upon trade with both the US and increasingly with key Asian countries such as Japan and China. Traditional British Commonwealth links have been declining in importance over several decades.

Now, Australian Business is certainly moving towards the work from home business era. With the introduction of TriVita, one of the most successful network marketing companies in the US, Australian business gets a better boost on the Internet, and provides our friends Down Under, with the ability to earn money from a SOHO, and enjoy better time freedom, and creative expression.

With the introduction of products like B12 Vitamins, TriVita will certainly have a large impact on the way that business will done on the Australian Google search engine.

TriVita

Inflammation can be considered a health issue that deserves our constant attention. TriVita is dedicated to information and systems that allow for our better living through nutrition. Here are some excellent ideas on pain management that one may implement within their own lives.

More than 50 million Americans suffer from chronic pain. Many people find they can gain long-term control over their pain through many alternative methods like heat or cold application, music, relaxation, exercise, meditation, acupuncture and a positive attitude.

For the vast majority of people who have chronic pain, there just aren't any pharmacologic or physical interventions that can totally eliminate the pain, says University of Washington (Seattle) pain management expert Dennis C. Turk, PhD.

Pain is a chronic condition, just like hypertension or diabetes, Dr. Turk explains. When you have a chronic condition, you need to do more things for yourself. It's going to last a long time. It's best to help yourself and learn to self-manage and control your pain.

The Options

In addition to traditional pain relievers, non drug methods of pain relief may help you gain that control. Some techniques, such as imagery and the use of hot and cold relax the muscles, help you sleep, and distract you from symptoms. Others, such as music, movies, and recorded comedy routines, take your mind off your physical complaints, as does losing yourself in a good book.

While some remedies require little expertise or help from others, some may require instruction from a professional. Dr. Ronald Glick is the director of the University of Pittsburgh Pain Evaluation and Treatment Center. Dr. Glick recommends that patients seek advice from a chronic pain specialist who can coordinate all aspects of management, including physical therapies and psychological techniques.

While these pain relief techniques help many people with chronic pain, they are not cures for pain.

Heat and Cold

The most important thing about heat and cold is that it gives a sense of control, Dr. Turk says. They are things you can do yourself to help relieve the pain, which can immediately reduce the emotional stress.

Direct Application Heat and cold can be quite helpful for people with musculoskeletal conditions, says Dr. Turk. Something as simple as a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a towel can be a useful self-management technique that relieves muscle tension in the back, neck and shoulders.

Most of us are familiar with holding an ice pack on a twisted ankle or lying on a heating pad for a sore back. But hot and cold treatments can be used in other ways. Moist heat, which is often more effective than dry heat, can be applied with a warm towel or a soak in the tub. An elastic bandage can hold an ice pack in place. A small paper cup filled with water and kept in the freezer becomes an excellent tool for localized cold massage, while iced washcloths can cover a larger area.

Timing Apply heat or cold therapy for periods not to exceed 15 minutes. Allow the area to return to normal body temperature before reapplying the therapy. Some people obtain added relief by alternating heat and ice. Others use heat before exercising and ice after.

Skin Protection

Always place a towel between the cold or heat and the skin. Never lie directly on a heating pad, and if it feels too warm, take it off. Don't combine heat with pain relieving salves, such as mentholated ointments and aspirin creams.

Relaxation The relaxation response, is a term coined by Herbert Benson, MD, of the Mind-Body Medical Institute in Boston. It is an array of beneficial physiologic effects associated with focused relaxation. Some of which may mitigate the perception of pain. For best results, make relaxation a part of your daily routine.

There are a number of ways to invoke the relaxation response, and many audiotapes are available to help. One popular approach is to assume a comfortable position, take several deep breaths, and then focus on your breathing, or a word or sound, while passively avoiding intruding thoughts.

Muscle Relaxation Exercises

Progressive muscle relaxation is a technique that may be effective for both muscle spasm pain and stress reduction.

Relaxation skills are useful in reducing muscle tension, and can help reduce frustration and some of the stress, says Jennifer Markham, PhD, at the University of Pittsburgh Pain Clinic. Progressive muscle relaxation involves focusing your attention on each muscle group until it feels heavy and relaxed. You usually begin in the feet and gradually progress upward.

Imagery Exercises Imagery, which often accompanies the management of pain through relaxation, allows you to visualize what it would be like to let the pain go. If you know what is causing the pain, for instance a pinched nerve in the spine, the idea is to picture the encroaching vertebral space opening and freeing the trapped nerve. By calling on a variety of senses, you can take yourself to a favorite place, like the beach or the mountains. Music, nature sounds and instructional tapes make it easier for beginners to escape to a mental paradise.

Relaxation techniques redirect your thinking from physical pain and onto something else, says Penney Cowan, founder and executive director of the American Chronic Pain Association. Imagining the beach, the sun on your face and the warmth of the sand helps divert your mind from how much your head is hurting.

Biofeedback

Biofeedback offers a measurable response to relaxation and imagery techniques. Through the use of sensors connected to a computer, you receive visual or auditory cues that indicate an increase or decrease in muscle tension, heart rate and skin temperature. Using this feedback, you train yourself to control body functions that you normally don't even think about. Biofeedback may be useful in chronic pain or other conditions associated with muscle spasm or tension, like some headaches.

Exercise Although you may not feel like getting off the couch because you hurt so much, exercising within the confines of your physical limitations can decrease pain. Why? The reasons are complex, but one prominent theory is that exercise releases endorphins, which are natural pain relieving chemicals in your brain.

Exercise is absolutely critical, says Dr. Turk. The type of exercise will depend on the condition, but as a general rule of thumb, the more active you remain and the more you use your muscles, the better off you're going to be.

A physical therapist can tailor an initial exercise plan based on your capacity to exercise, and then gradually make recommendations for increasing how much you do and for how long. Pain experts recommend pacing activities. Overdoing it on good days can come back to haunt you later. It's fine to cut back on your exercise during a flare-up of your pain, but it's important to resume your exercise routine as soon as you feel better.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a form of Chinese Medicine. It involves insertion of very thin needles into the skin at different and very specific points of the body. It has been shown to be effective for treatment of chronic back pain and some forms of pain resulting from nerve damage. It requires several treatments, usually between 2-5 before a response can be seen. Results of acupuncture also largely depend on the skills of the acupuncturist.

Meditation

The benefits of meditation go beyond relaxation response. Studies show that daily meditation may be an excellent tool in fighting chronic pain. There are a variety of different meditation techniques and one should choose a mediation style that is comfortable for him or her. Meditation can be done easily in the privacy of one’s home.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnosis has nothing to do with popular images of stage performance. It was first utilized as a therapeutic modality more than 100 years ago. It is a well documented technique that can be useful in chronic pain management. It is done by a trained and licensed therapist. The exact way by which hypnosis works is not fully understood. It induces the state of focused awareness, which is known to alleviate many forms of pain.

Attitude and Communication

How you think about your aches and discomforts, your level of anxiety and depression, your expectations, and your ability to cope determines how much pain you feel. Cognitive-behavior modification techniques help change unhealthy attitudes and habits that can develop when pain is chronic.

Concentrate on your abilities and find pleasure in the things you can do rather than dwelling on activities that have become difficult because of your pain. Communicate with family members and explain how you're feeling. Don't expect loved ones to read your mind.

Psychology helps people begin to understand they do have some control, even if they don't have a magic wand to make the pain go away, says Dr. Markham. When they realize they have some control over their pain, it gives them hope.

TriVita products provide solutions to health and wellness. This article talks about the importance of B12 in the diet.

Sublingual B12 Works Best when it Melts Under Your Tongue – July 2008 VitaJournal, Page8

Dr. Libby's original patented formula absorbs better than taking B vitamins orally by Dr. Scott Conard, M.D.

Dr. Alfred Libby is responsible for patenting the technology that allows B vitamins to get into your bloodstream without an injection or swallowing a pill. His Sublingual B12, B6 & Folic Acid simply dissolves under the tongue and speeds these critical nutrients right to where they are needed most. But how exactly does that work? What's the 'big deal' about a pill melting instead of being swallowed?

The fact is, there's a significant difference. 'Sublingual' is based on Latin words that literally mean 'under the tongue.' Certain substances – including some heart drugs like nitroglycerine, steroids, barbiturates and other medications – are easier to get into the bloodstream in this manner. Mucus membranes under your tongue lead to the epithelium, which is another membrane lining beneath your tongue. Like your skin, this membrane is not impermeable; and in fact, quite the opposite. The epithelium absorbs some nutrients very well, and passes them along to areas rich in blood vessels beneath the tongue. These blood vessels attach to the sublingual artery, which in turn attaches to the lingual artery. The next stop is your carotid artery, which carries a sublingual substance to your brain. Substances such as vitamins are thus able to enter the bloodstream and reach your brain very quickly.

Think about your digestive system for a moment: it's a complicated organ. Vitamin B12 absorption is the most complicated. It requires the acid concentration in the stomach to be high (this can be affected by medications that prevent reflux or ulcers), the stomach has to make a protein (intrinsic factor) that binds the B12, and then this bound B12intrinsic factor complex must be absorbed in the small intestine. That means that there are a lot of things that could go wrong! That's why sublingual B12 delivery works: It bypasses the complex digestive system process, by being absorbed while under the tongue.

The key to sublingual nutrients working is allowing them to dissolve fully under the tongue. Chewing and swallowing Sublingual B12 pills might be tempting given their sweet taste, but it is crucial to their effectiveness that you allow them to melt completely. You'll still get the great taste, plus the full benefit of these nutrients designed sublingually to help you make sure you get the B12 you need when you need it!

We had a great web conference meeting last night with TriVita Presidential Director, Bryan Wirth. Bryan has been actively pursuing a career in TriVita for the past 10 years. His dedication, insights and commitment shown through clearly in our web conference meeting.

He spoke of the simplicity of building a TriVita business. The facts are clear that TriVita offers the ability to its affiliate members to buy customers on a regular basis to build a business around. In other words, a person can come into TriVita, buy bundle packs of customers, spend time mentoring those customers to action, and soon, the business just takes off.

TriVita is very unique in the network marketing industry, as not many other companies offer this cooperative marketing plan to their affiliate members. What this means for the affiliate is that they really need not be a super salesman, in order to build wealth. Bryan made the comment last night that he was a simple man who implemented the built in TriVita three step program, and is not reaping generous rewards from the company.

Grab the recording here on How to Build a TriVita business, and listen as Brian explains fully the TriVita cooperative marketing system. His vision and motivation is to help people to follow his proven plan of action so they too, can reap the rewards that TriVita offers.

We are seeing renewed interest in work from home jobs. There has never been a better chance in history, to become associated with TriVita, and earn income from a work from home business model.

TriVita

By Brazos Minshew, TriVita's Chief Science Officer

About this time of year many people ask me what they can do to prevent the flu or minimize its impact. That has never seemed more relevant than today; so, I will address this with the best science we have available today. I say “today’s best science” because we simply don’t know everything we need to know about preventing and treating the flu. And we need to remember that not all that long ago “current science” said that the earth was flat and diseases were caused by evils spells or dead ancestors.

Many people never get the flu – no matter which strain we are talking about. Do you? When you get the flu, are your symptoms severe? Are there high-risk people living with you? Then your preference for or against preventive measures must take them into consideration. (What if you got it and survived but transmitted it to them and they died? How would you feel?) In any case, 35,000–40,000 people in North America die of the flu each year. It is estimated that this number will double with H1N1.

Flu protection

There are three pathways you need to focus on with flu protection – any variety: Transmission Infection Inflammation Inflammation

We will begin at the ending: Inflammation from the immune system that incapacitates – even kills – people when they have the flu. MOST IMPORTANT: The flu kills people not by transmission or by infection, but by an inflammatory immune system response called the “cytokine storm.”

Our immune system is designed to neutralize and excrete any non-self protein it finds. That includes the influenza virus. The size of the immune response needs to be equivalent to the strength of the invader.

Think of this as a building on fire: small fires are extinguished by local fire fighters. Some fires are so big that fire fighters from other departments have to be called in to help. So, fires are designated as “one-alarm,” “two-alarm,” “three-alarm,” and so on. At a certain point, our immune system pulls all of the alarms and immune system fractions from all over our body rush to put out the fire, so to speak. However, this is a case of fighting fire with fire. Cytokines are inflammatory. They kill viruses and bacteria by creating inflammation.

The cytokine storm is responsible for all of the symptoms we feel: fever, body aches, nausea, diarrhea, etc. It is also responsible for filling the lungs with mucous (pneumonia/pneumonitis) which is often the fatal trigger in influenza, SARS, Hanta virus, bubonic plague, etc.

To survive we must modulate the cytokine storm so that it does its job but doesn’t overwork and kill us. We make it work smarter, not harder. So we don’t use Vitamin C or Echinacea or anything that “boosts” the immune system. We use immune system modulators so we get exactly the right response. Quercetin (Betalains in Nopalea are quercetin bioflavonoids), green tea polyphenols (found in Energy Now!) and ginseng (Panax and Eleutherococcus found in Adaptogen 10 Plus) all balance the immune system and decrease the cytokine storm.

Infection

Prior to the cytokine storm is the infection stage of influenza. The virus infects the cell by matching a cell receptor called Hemagglutinin. Hemagglutinin (the “H” in H1N1) allows the virus to gain entry to the cell and mutate the cell DNA so it can breed an infection. It also allows the newly mutated DNA to be incorporated into surrounding cells and through cell lines. Hemagglutinin describes “infection” with the flu. Two powerful natural inhibitors of Hemagglutinin are green tea polyphenols and ginseng (Panax and Eleutherococcus) found in Super Sublingual B12.

Transmission

Neuraminidase describes “transmission” of the flu where the virus disarms the immune system with an enzyme. This is the “N” in H1N1, H5N1. Neuraminidase inhibitors like Tamiflu limit the ability of the virus to transmit its DNA strands. Two strong natural Neuraminidase inhibitors are green tea polyphenols and quercetin (Betalains in Nopalea are quercetin bioflavonoids). It is likely that green tea polyphenols and quercetin will help your body do what it does best: resist infection. Think of them as the first line of defense to arm your immune system and prevent the flu virus from disarming it.

With the recent shortage of flu vaccinations and for daily flu protection, remember to always stock up and use these TriVita products on a daily basis to maintain a strong and healthy immune system. Nopalea Energy Now! Adaptogen 10 Plus Super Sublingual B12

By the way, the most common route of infection is touching your eyes with contaminated hands! Wash your hands frequently and dry your hands thoroughly to discourage infection. Also, the most common reason why people experience the runaway inflammation of a cytokine storm is poor sleep. Sleeping peacefully now becomes a matter of life and death!

Flat earth?

We don’t know all there is to know about flu prevention and treatment. There are endless avenues and processes we simply have not explored. Imagine what we knew about viruses 50 years ago: Do you think we will know more in the next 50 years? Certainly so! Accepting that as truth we know one thing for sure: some people never get the flu.

How can we be one of them?

Primarily it is through vigorous application of the 10 Essentials for Health and Wellness. Practice deep breathing to reduce your body’s acidity and to reduce the impact of stress on your immune system. Drink plenty of pure water. Wash and thoroughly dry your hands often. Get plenty of early-morning sunshine. Sleep peacefully every night. Eat nutritiously and take the nutrients you need as a solid foundation for health. Play daily (enjoy activity) and surround yourself with healthy people you love. These are the things that keep healthy people healthy and they can help you, too!

Wash and dry your hands many times daily. Get your rest every night. Eat nutritiously and supplement appropriately. Avoid sick people for two weeks after they recover. (read more)

TriVita

TriVita, the epicenter of health and wellness on the Internet, provides answers to stress, and living fuller and richer lives. At this time of year, we all face pressures, demands and meeting expectations. The main thing to remember is this. Why feel that pressure?

How to Beat Holiday Stress

There are four insults that cause imbalance in our body and mind: trauma, toxins, deficiencies and stress. There are 10 Essential tools that we have in our immediate control to combat the forces of stress.

The best definition for stress of any kind is change. Stress can be from changes outside our body temperature, sunlight, noise and other factors from inside our body including hunger, dehydration, lack of rest, etc., or even from our own thoughts social expectations, time pressures, financial worries and other factors. With so many changes occurring around the holidays, and on so many levels, it is always wise to talk about holiday stress as a special cause of imbalance.

The destructive power of stress

The term stress was originally used as an engineering term. It describes the destructive forces acting on specific structures. For instance, stress was the term used to describe the effect of weight on a bridge. Stress describes not only the weight on the bridge, but the combination of destructive forces trying to tear the bridge apart such as weight, wind, temperature extremes, etc.

Is that not the way people feel when they are under stress? Do you feel like you are being pulled in every direction until you are pulled apart? Stress is a good description of the distress of our mind and body brought on by internal and external demands.

The healing power of homeostasis

Humans are remarkably resilient. We adapt to new situations with relative ease. This is because of a body process called homeostasis. If stress is pulling us apart, homeostasis is putting us back together. As long as homeostasis has access to all of the resources it needs we will never feel the destructive power of stress.

The key is to have all of our 10 Essential resources available all of the time:

To be optimally oxygenated and hydrated.
To be perfectly rested and nourished.
To feel completely supported and able to cope with any emotional demand at any given moment.

A reservoir like this will allow homeostasis to draw resources from our bank account and use them to satisfy the many demands placed upon us.

It you are lacking in any demanded resource, a special function of homeostasis will be engaged. I like to call it the Robin Hood function, and it allows our body to rob one area to support another area. This is often seen in the special stress adaptation called fight or flight. Fight or Flight response is like emergency spending with credit cards. This kind of behavior may help you get through the crisis, but sooner or later the debt must be repaid.

In the Robin Hood function of homeostasis, the debt comes at an extreme price. It is not uncommon for a body under stress to sacrifice an entire organ or organ system to maintain balance in another system. For example, osteoporosis is more common in people under extreme stress because their bones are robbed to supply nutrients needed for the stress response. Homeostasis must be maintained, even if this is at great sacrifice.

Holiday stress?

With this image in mind it is no wonder that people feel pulled apart around the holidays; there are just too many changes and too few resources available to meet the demands of homeostasis. Stress pulls us apart and our health suffers.

Since health resources are accumulated slowly and spent rapidly, it makes sense to reclassify holiday stresses as just plain stress! The methods for dealing with any kind of stress are the same no matter what time of the year and it is nutrients and nurturing.

Anti stress nutrients include the stress busting effects of Vitamin B,12 and adaptogens. They serve to reinforce homeostasis like an economic stimulus package for our nervous system. If you feel stress pulling you apart, take more of these two special anti stress nutrients.

Nurturing your health comes from vigorously applying the 10 Essentials for Health and Wellness. Plan ahead and budget your energy for times when demands are greater and you face more changes than usual. In the end, do not be afraid to say no. It can literally be the difference between maintaining balance through homeostasis or being pulled apart by stress.

Sublingual B-12 Works Best when it Melts Under Your Tongue Sublingual B-12 Works Best when it Melts Under Your Tongue.

Dr. Libby's original patented formula absorbs better than taking B vitamins orally by Dr. Scott Conard, M.D.

Dr. Alfred Libby is responsible for patenting the technology that allows B vitamins to get into your bloodstream without an injection or swallowing a pill. His Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid simply dissolves under the tongue and speeds these critical nutrients right to where they are needed most. But how exactly does that work? What's the 'big deal' about a pill melting instead of being swallowed?

The fact is, there's a significant difference. 'Sublingual' is based on Latin words that literally mean 'under the tongue.' Certain substances – including some heart drugs like nitroglycerine, steroids, barbiturates and other medications – are easier to get into the bloodstream in this manner. Mucus membranes under your tongue lead to the epithelium, which is another membrane lining beneath your tongue. Like your skin, this membrane is not impermeable; and in fact, quite the opposite. The epithelium absorbs some nutrients very well, and passes them along to areas rich in blood vessels beneath the tongue. These blood vessels attach to the sublingual artery, which in turn attaches to the lingual artery. The next stop is your carotid artery, which carries a sublingual substance to your brain. Substances such as vitamins are thus able to enter the bloodstream and reach your brain very quickly.

Think about your digestive system for a moment: it's a complicated organ. Vitamin B-12 absorption is the most complicated. It requires the acid concentration in the stomach to be high (this can be affected by medications that prevent reflux or ulcers), the stomach has to make a protein (intrinsic factor) that binds the B-12, and then this bound B-12-intrinsic factor complex must be absorbed in the small intestine. That means that there are a lot of things that could go wrong! That's why sublingual B-12 delivery works: It bypasses the complex digestive system process, by being absorbed while under the tongue.

The key to sublingual nutrients working is allowing them to dissolve fully under the tongue. Chewing and swallowing Sublingual B-12 pills might be tempting given their sweet taste, but it is crucial to their effectiveness that you allow them to melt completely. You'll still get the great taste, plus the full benefit of these nutrients designed sublingually to help you make sure you get the B-12 you need when you need it!

TriVita

TriVita is representative of a stable and viable business model using network marketing as their overall plan of success. Below, read content that distinguishes what makes an MLM business thrive, or conversely fail.

What makes a viable work at home business? What distinguished one from another. Though the business model may be network marketing, or MLM, the basic principle of building that business is the same. One would find a company to join, then begin the process of learning the backoffice navigation of the program. Its an amazing element in a work at home business, but did you know that very few people really learn how to use their backoffices? Its a fact that people who join any type of work at program never really fully develop that into a solid paying income stream. So much for the failure rate being so high, right? The reason that most fail is simple. They really do not take full advantage of the tools that are available to them, no matter what company that they are choosing to promote.

There are many types of work from home businesses, but today, we will talk a little about network marketing, and MLM businesses in general. Both are basically the same; however, there are systems in place that distinguish the two quite a bit. Many people consider MLM a bad word. In reality all of life operates on a pyramid of one sort or another. The USA operates fully on the pyramid chain of command theory, so it is really a matter of thinking on the individuals part that makes it good, or bad.

MLM or Multi-Level Marketing

Multilevel marketing (MLM) is a marketing strategy in which the sales force is compensated not only for sales they personally generate, but also for the sales of others they recruit, creating a downline of distributors and a hierarchy of multiple levels of compensation. Other terms for MLM include network marketing, direct selling, and referral marketing.

Although the products and company are supposed to be marketed directly to consumers and potential business partners by means of relationship referrals and word of mouth marketing, critics have charged that most MLMs are pyramid schemes. This is a gross exaggeration in this author's opinion. Making broad statements of this type about a business model is ridiculous, even though, there have been many MLM businesses that are scams and schemes.

MLM companies have been a frequent subject of criticism as well as the target of lawsuits. Criticism has focused on their similarity to illegal pyramid schemes, price fixing of products, high initial startup costs, emphasis on recruitment of lower tiered salespeople over actual sales, encouraging if not requiring salespeople to purchase and use the company's products, potential exploitation of personal relationships which are used as new sales and recruiting targets, complex and sometimes exaggerated compensation schemes, and cult like techniques which some groups use to enhance their members' enthusiasm and devotion. Not all MLM companies operate the same way, and MLM groups have persistently denied that their techniques are anything but legitimate business practices. Once again, a jaded expression of this particular author concerning the MLM process. I suppose that he, or she, would make the statement that the USA is not a stable and viable entity? Preposterous statements like this are always being made concerning the work at home industry. The fact is, it is the only option available to most in this fastly becoming deleted economy of which we find ourselves living with today.

The FTC warns "Not all multilevel marketing plans are legitimate. Some are pyramid schemes. It's best not to get involved in plans where the money you make is based primarily on the number of distributors you recruit and your sales to them, rather than on your sales to people outside the plan who intend to use the products." After experiencing many years of schemes and scams, it is no wonder that the mass of people searching for legitimate work from home businesses find themselves in a constant struggle between good and evil. Generally, if a business sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. It is up to the individual to diligently seek answers, and ask questions of other owners of MLM business models to determine if that is the right one to become involved with.

Network Marketing

Network marketing is along the same lines as MLM with a bit of a difference. In network marketing, the affiliate members may choose to market their businesses by using the conventional approaches of seeking out friends, family and other spheres of influence that they may have. Approaching business in this manner can lead to frustration and often, bad feelings. Its a fact that if one brings in a friend or associate, under the guise of making a lot of money, then that friend may wind up to be an enemy. Having been down that road on several occasions, it is advised to stay far away from good friends in the marketing process.

Direct Selling

Direct selling is marketing and selling products, direct to consumers away from a fixed retail location. Sales are typically made through party plan, one to one demonstrations, and other personal contact arrangements. A text book definition is: "The direct personal presentation, demonstration, and sale of products and services to consumers, usually in their homes or at their jobs."

Industry representative, the World Federation of Direct Selling Associations (WFDSA), reports that its 59 regional member associations accounted for more than US$114 Billion in retail sales in 2007, through the activities of more than 62 million independent sales representatives.

According to the WFDSA, consumers benefit from direct selling because of the convenience and service it provides, including personal demonstration and explanation of products, home delivery, and generous satisfaction guarantees. In contrast to franchising, the cost for an individual to start an independent direct selling business is typically very low with little or no required inventory or other cash commitments to begin.

The United States Direct Selling Association (DSA) reported that in 2000, 55% of adult Americans had at some time purchased goods or services from a direct selling representative and 20% reported that they were currently(6%) or had been in the past(14%) a direct selling representative.

Most direct selling associations, including the Bundesverband Direktvertrieb Deutschland, the direct selling association of Germany, and the WFDSA and DSA require their members to abide by a code of conduct towards a fair partnership both with customers and salesmen. Most national direct selling associations are represented in the World Federation of Direct Selling Associations (WFDSA).

Direct selling is distinct from direct marketing because it is about individual sales agents reaching and dealing directly with clients. Direct marketing is about business organizations seeking a relationship with their customers without going through an agent consultant or retail outlet.

No matter what mode and method is used to build a stable work at home business, there is one thing that should be made very clear. It is not easy, simple or quick, and there are no shortcuts in this industry. Whatever the individual chooses to pursue, it is a wise person that must choose to work diligently, or fall prey and become yet another statistic in failure rate statistics. (read more)

TriVita is the Stable Business Model for the Future Work At Home

When you consider working at home, what is the primary reason that you have for entering into that realm of business on the Internet? Obviously, there must be some reason that you choose to start a successful work at home business, but what is the main reasons that you can name, within your own mind, for wanting to live a little differently than simply have a job like everyone else?

There are many reasons that people choose to work at home, and I will only name a few in this article.

Time Freedom

Time freedom means being able to live life on your own terms. Time freedom allows you to spend your quality time in being with the people that you wish to be with, and literally being able to determine your own destiny in your own unique way. That freedom is amazing when you are able to create that type of lifestyle for yourself. You literally have the world at your feet, and can come and go and do what you want, when you want, and no one has the right to tell you otherwise. Time freedom is really the essence of a work at home business model.

Creative Expression

I am sure that you have been involved in some type of business where your time was not your own. You were dictated to by some boss, eight hours per day, five days a week or more, and really, you have been stuck in a rut. You wake in the morning dreading what you face in that job, and are literally drowning in your own pool of sweat thinking about having to go another day, doing the same routine as you have always done. This is not living, this is slavery. This is what a work at home business can do for you. It can free your time so that you can creatively learn to build your life in your own way. Is that not the pure essence of working at home? I believe, that surely this is the goal that should be addressed.

Earning More Money

Obviously, it will take time, effort, diligence and an undying desire to create a business on the Internet, but once that is accomplished, the money will flow in, and the earning made from that work at home business will be far greater than most salaries paid today. In today's economy, surely this is the option, and the ONLY option that we have in building a life for ourselves and families. Working at home gives you the ability to create wealth on your own terms. Your path will not be easy or simple, and you will need to be prepared to come and LEARN BEFORE YOU EARN in this business. That is the crucial thing to remember. There are no simple and quick solutions to working in a home business. You will definitely spend a lifetime of work and effort to achieve your dreams and goals here, but that effort will be rewarded if you stick to a solid business plan for the future.

So, here is the question. Are you ready to learn more about his process? Then your job is to fill out this contact form. Once I receive the information, I will be in contact with you as soon as possible. I will not sell, convince, coerce or lie to you about this business model. I will give you the facts, and then YOU determine whether or not you wish to join my work at home business.

TriVita

TriVita is a long term investment business. It is obviously not for someone who needs to get rich in a month!

When I compose articles for promoting my work at home business, I always use real time information. I use actual events that have either happened in the near past, or others that have happened to me along the way. Today's article will address the problem that most people have in building a substantial business on the Internet.

The phone rings this morning, just before lunch, and I take the call, and its my long time acquaintance, let's just call him John. John says, "hey Butch, how you been doing. Have you got just a few minutes to talk?" Naturally I said that I did. I expected to get marketed to because John has been involved in more deals to make money from a home business than I can even count. John pitched me on the latest and greatest business that with only four signups, you get your system paid for. When I asked John as the value of the business, he drew a blank. He asked, " what do you mean?" I simply stated that why should I join the business, and how would it help me to market my other businesses that I do have currently. "Well, its kinda like a buying club. You save money on groceries, buying cars and all kinds of different types of services.

Obviously, it would seem to me that these guys are trying to pull the oldest trick in the book on people. There are supposedly trying to out do Sam's Club. Now, I do not know about you, but obviously, I can save money, buy the goods and services that I need, and save money by just driving a few short blocks and going to Sam's Club. I do not need this wheel re-invented, and am certainly not looking for a new pre-launch business to join.

Not only this, but he is going to market this business using IBUZZPRO! This company I have gone head to head with on numerous occasions for the simple fact that my phone number gets picked up by their Internet scraping services regularly. I believe that they are the worst examples that the Interment can offer in terms of marketing.

Is it not time for people to actually LEARN before they EARN in the work from home business industry? I spoke with John about educational marketing, and how you should talk with your leads about business plans. Pitching them your newest and greatest deal will only appeal to other MLM junkies like John! When I tried to convey my point about the right way to build a business, it just fell on deaf ears.

A prime example of the mentality of people looking for quick money online. Has never happened, and never will folks. This is the out and out truth of the matter, no matter what you have seen, read or that master marketer that you have been approach by on the phone.

I do not know about you, reader, but quite frankly I am sick of these wanna be, get rich quick, MLM junkie, tell story and BS mocksters and rejects of the work from home business world trying to sell me on their brand new deals. Look, I have the best business in the world. I have consistently worked my business for over seven years. I have learned how to market that business on the Internet very successfully. I am not looking to join YOUR next deal, as I know that is just another dead end street that leads to the once again failure rate business in the work from home world.

It was funny; however, at the end of the conversation, he mentioned that he would like to try a bottle of Nopalea, the anti-inflammation product from TriVita. I said that I would be glad to send it over to him. Just maybe, that product will help him to clear his thinking just a little. Oh well, I just keep building my business while the rest of the world sits on their hands planning to get started, maybe tomorrow?

Autoresponders and the Importance of Them

The importance of autoresponders in running a successful work at home business cannot be over emphasized. There is much more than meets the eye when setting up, and then utilizing the autoresponder system to follow up with people who fill out contact forms on your sites. An automatic responder system, when fully utilized, is one of the best sources of income for your work from home business opportunity. Sadly, most use them to pitch their latest and greatest deals. This turns prospects into opt outs very quickly. After all, how many times have you wanted to know more about a business, only to fill out a form, and literally be inundated with all types of nonsensical BS about getting rich quick in a work at home business? I know for a fact that when I see this type of information flooding into my inbox, I am out of there very quickly.

Autoresponders should provide your readers with value. In other words, provide your reader with good information, insights, perspectives and value, and they will continue to read your articles from now on. I have made sales from my prospects over a year into receiving my valuable information. This says a great deal about the power of a good solid autoresponder email marketing system.

You should be aware that certain words trigger spam signals in the various email service providers. You should be able to take some time and research your deliverability of your emails, and even track those to see how many times they are opened. If you have a low rate of opens, then you know that no one is seeing your information. If you simply pitch deals, and let the chips fall where they may, then you will wind up with a zero balance in your checking account at the end of the month.

Autoresponders make you money, if approached the right way. Most people are in such a rush to develop an income from a work from home business, they simply do not have time, nor the inclination to actually learn how to build that business model. Darting from one area to the next without becoming fully educated in the process, will lead to dismal failure in the long run.

In the work at home world, its fairly obvious that people are hurting financially. With today's economic climate somewhat stifled, it may be just the place that people are turning to in droves, to find an answer to their financial woes. Its also a huge misconception to think that you can join a work at home MLM or network marketing business, and receive instant success. Honestly, any business that is promoted in this way should be steered clear of, as it is nothing more than trying to appeal to your baser emotions. NO business can be built overnight. NO business can be made to earn you $10000 per month in the first 30 days. NO business pays immediate financial rewards, no matter what the website says. Undoubtedly this is not the way to talk with people about starting a work at home business.

You should be well prepared to come and work years in any business that you choose to join. There will be systems, techniques, strategies and knowledge that will need to be gained before you have an inclination towards putting money in the bank. I know from personal experience that people who are hurting financially, are looking for the easy way out. Oh sure, they may be willing to pull out the plastic money card to join a business, but only in hopes of receiving instant gratification from joining said business. It simply does not happen this way, and it never has.

If you are looking for the quick fix in a work at home business, then surely you will fall prey to the industry, just like the some 95% of others who have joined businesses and simply failed. These people had the best of intentions when joining the business, but in a few months they will start getting that itchy feeling that maybe, just maybe, there is something else in the work at home field that would be more lucrative. This leads to the constant jumping around from one business to another in hopes of finding that business that will make them rich. It just does not happened this way, yet people fall for it at an alarming rate each and every day on the Internet. Its almost as if they are drawn to the aspect of getting rich in a work at home business. Excitement leads to bad judgement, and bad results. These will be the people who will be the first to go to the scam boards, and tell their woes about a certain MLM business ripped them off. That business did not rip them off, they failed the business model, but trying to convince them of this is no easy matter.

Finding a good solid and stable work at home business like TriVita, one that is slow to grow, yet leads to success over the years, should be thought of as one to look further into. There is stability in slow growth, and I would much prefer to let that type of business build for the future, that I had jump into every pre-launch business model that is going to make me rich in a week or month.

Tonight, as I was reviewing once again, The Money Machine Ebook, written by Tom Prendergast, I am finding more gems of knowledge and expertise in which to write about the work at home industry. After being involved in working at home, I have seen the Internet, and the business models change. I have been constantly in the process of re-evaluating my thoughts and ideas, in order to provide my readers with good information concerning the process.

Below, find an except from this wonderful ebook, and learn as the master speaks on what it takes to become successful in a work at home business model on the Internet.

You Need To apply yourself and work!

Take time to work; it is the price of success! By far the biggest joke online must be the one that tells you that you do not need to do anything to make money! You know what I mean:

30 minutes a week is all it takes!

Or this one;
You do not do anything, we do all the work for you! All you do is collect your cash!

These are the pitches of frustrated desperate people. They have been taught the lies from the self proclaimed Gurus, that teach the Fake it tell you Make it. I know, I have been in the audience and have heard this. When I first got involved in Network Marketing. My instincts told me, that this was wrong. It went against my character and I never indulged in this devious type of deception.

To achieve success requires determination, discipline and a lot of work. But it is worth it! With that said, yes, there comes a time, somewhere down the road, when you have been at it for a while already, that indeed all you have to do is spend 30 minutes a day or a few hours per week to maintain the momentum of your online business. That is true and highly possibly.

A successful business takes years! Are you listening to me? This is a fact. It takes years to build and nurture and invest in your business. All successful business owners know this. It rarely happens over night. There are many good reasons, it should take time.

To achieve great wealth without great effort will destroy you. You have probably heard the stories of people who win a million dollars in a lottery. What you may not be aware of, those same people years later are broke, lost everything and many on drugs or in jail. That wealth without discipline and great sacrifice is nothing more than a curse.

Remember that as you toil for years before you start to see great success. You are being prepared for success by working, sacrificing and developing discipline.

It is like farming or growing a garden. You must prepare the earth so it is fertile. You must plant the seeds in the fertile soil you prepared. You must water those seeds, and take care of the sprouts so they grow strong and productive. You need to feed your garden with good fertilizer. You must cultivate your garden so it grows unencumbered by weeds and pests, and then the day comes for harvest. And a sweet harvest it is.

Like my own business, I have spent over 10 years building it. I developed a clientele, gave them more than I promised and treat them like gold. Some things worked other things did not.

I consistently kept at it. Putting back into my business the money it created. I sacrificed to let the business grow. I listened, pursued knowledge, researched and developed as it grew. I let my creativity expand and trusted my intuition. I allowed myself to make mistakes; being forgiving of those mistakes and learned from them. I continued to rebuild and improve, never accepting failure or ever quitting. There have been times of prosperity and I used that to invest into the company and save for the hard times. There were hard times and I worked even harder during the challenges, never giving up. After more than ten years the business is strong and I still pour everything into it. Always focused on my clients best interest to deliver to them the best I can do.

Veretekk is prosperous, and I share that prosperity with my clients and partners. Always focusing on the future growth of my company. I take care of it and it takes care of me. Business is a relationship. Like a marriage, it is long term and I have never had the mindset that I would try, I have always had the mind set that I would succeed and treat my business with respect.

Like a garden, I plant, cultivate and harvest always building for a stronger season in the future.

But if you are like most beginning marketers, who start out online with little or no available funds, then you will have to labor to bring your business up to a level that it can run by itself by means of you being able to hire people to do the work for you. So once again, do not be fooled by those fast talking marketers with their flashy websites and stunning videos, who tell you that they got an online business for you that will make you money within 36 hours and you have very little or no work you need to do to make that money.

I promise you right now its not going to happen. And if it does, then I promise you there is another catch attached that you will only find out about once you bite into their scam. Usually that catch comes in the form of a hefty payment if you wish to continue with their product. The truth is that to get your online business off the ground and without having lots of financial resources at your disposal, you will have to put in many hours of labor to make your site successful.

The truth is that even if you can afford to outsource all the tasks needed to make your site successful, you will still have to monitor what all these folks are doing. That is work. The truth is, a successful business requires work, continuously and constantly. Do not ever convince yourself it does not.

If you read anything at all concerning how to work at home, these words should inspire, motivate and inform you about the actual processes that it requires to become successful. You will find value in all the links listed in the above article, and even more information concerning a thriving and growing TriVita business model in action. (read more)

There are a number of ways to look at a work at home job. Affiliate programs, MLM and network marketing systems all play an integral part in the process of finding, and then growing a decent income from a work at home business model. One interesting aspect of working at home is the fact that the products that you find associated with network marketing businesses are unique, and most often, are very good. These products cannot be bought at your local Wal-Mart store, so having access to these types of goods makes for an interesting approach to share with others.

The whole idea of a work at home business appeals to many people around the world. Quite frankly, I prefer to do nothing else but work from a home office. I find the hours flexible, I can actually use my creativity to the maximum benefit, and I can find new and creative ways to develop my writing skills, which I love to pursue anyway. All in all, the work at home business model has allowed me tremendous benefits that I can highly recommend to anyone that chooses to ask me a question about it.

I feel that the key to finding, and then growing a good solid work at home business is the process of eliminating the ones that appear too good to be true, and finding the ones that are stable, solid, offer excellent goods and services, and are fully backed by the company which produces the products. In other words, TriVita, located in Scottsdale, Arizona, certainly fits those criteria, and much more. TriVita, as I like to call it, is the epicenter of health and wellness on the search engines of the the Internet today. You may be thinking that its just another jungle juice company, but your thinking would obviously be wrong. Their Nopalea, is being seen as one of the best anti-inflammation products found today. Having said that, I turn once again to a stable work at home business model that people can feel good about promoting.

Promoting a TriVita business is not difficult at all. You must choose a good keyword, and then pursue that keyword phrase until you get people to read the article or site that you produce. If you do a good job of it, like in this timely work at home article, then you will stand a very good chance of making sales on the product, and have people who are interested, to fill out the form on the site for more information. The process of promoting any work at home business is simple. As a matter of fact, and I have called this process brutally simple.

You might also find something else interesting about TriVita. They are now going to be moving into the Australian market as well. This means a tremendous potential for growth, and something that people should be paying attention to as well. TriVita in Australia is going to produce much interest for the people there who also wish to work at home down under. Nopalea is sure to make big news in the Australian business market for millions of work at home entrepreneurs.

As usual, you are welcome and encouraged to click any, or all of the links in this article concerning building a stable and successful work at home business for the future. (read more)

In the work at home industry, you find unique and interesting people in which to work with. Some people are dedicated, driven and want succeed. Others are simply looking for a way to get rich quick in a home business, and get out. Personally, I have no time to spend with the get rich quickers. They will certainly fail in their goals of creating substantial wealth, and I do not want that sort of person in my organization.

Most of the problems in the work at home business world are not the companies themselves. Granted, there are companies out on the Internet that are total lies and scam, but for the most part, network marketing companies have to prove their validity. They have to fly right, or the FTC will surely come knocking on their door in the near future.

When I look for a good work at home business to join, like TriVita for example. I go to their policies and procedures first. I read, explore and research them on the Internet. If they are doing well on the search engines, then possibly they are a good company to promote. I also believe in checking the Alexa rankings of companies. If you see a steady growth upwards, and a decent ranking, that will tell you that they are a good company to deal with. If you see a sharp rise, like in a new pre-launch program, you should watch them carefully before joining.

You see, its all up to you to become educated in how to watch and use the Internet to your advantage. Use education and knowledge to positively and progressively find the right type of business to spend your quality time in promoting.

The Veretekk Bully Pulpit Newsletter October 06, 2010

"From my brain to yours"

The SEO Social Marketing Network concept
By Thomas Prendergast

This concept has been developing in my brain for several years. I am going to connect the dots for you so you can understand exactly why this new approach is extremely dynamic.

The concept of Integrated Marketing and Educational Marketing is best explained via anecdote, and innuendo.

Example today talking to a Veretekk veteran who lives in China. He is about to move to Canada. He is in Shaklee which is available as a business opportunity in China. I know you see the potential business this illustrates. So let me share today's chat I had with "Rick"

Rick has been living in China for sometime and quite involved in the Christian ministry there. Recently, it looks like he must move to Canada and leave China although he will be able to visit once a year.

Rick has a substantial group of business associates, personal friends and Christian associates there. When I was chatting with Rick I suggested that he involve these people with his Shaklee business. His reply will resonate with almost all of you. Are you ready?

"I don't like asking friends to buy as I have wore them out. I don't want to sound skeptical but most of the ones I know probably wouldn't be interested in Marketing but I can ask them anyway".

Rick has already resigned himself that these people will never do business with him and convinced because he already tried and from that single effort, he is convinced to never attempt doing that again".

At the core of this issue, is the mental image that marketing is sales and when you try to sell you get a resonating no thrown at you. This is the same disconnect I have tried to explain to you for yours. This is why cold calling, spam email, unsolicited faxes and buying leads doesn't work either!

So after that cold negative depressing reaction from Rick regarding his "incredible fortune and advantage" of having "immediate access to the single largest growing and exploding marketing in the world in man's entire history", I began revealing what integrated and educational marketing is and why it will work for Rick, especially in this situation. After I explained this to Rick, I realized that you needed to see this as well. This paradigm shift in marketing is so dynamic and fresh that even I must continuously remind myself to stay with the new mind set as even I tend to wander.

It all started with setting up Rick's new Platinum Control Panel and I noticed he had misspelled Shaklee in one of his Gold systems. When I asked him if he was involved in Shaklee and he said yes, this is when it all started.

I know Shaklee's opportunity is huge and the fact they are in China is one of the greatest opportunities of our generation, it is that big of a deal!

Rick also has the incredible additional advantage of being under Cindy McAsey and works with Jim Gras. I am laying this out to you, because Rick has so many advantages, that if done right, will turn him into an incredibly wealthy man in short order. A perfect storm so to speak for Rick.

Right now we at Veretekk are building our new SEO Social Marketing Network teams. You have already seen Butch Hamilton and his beginning SEO SOCIAL MARKETING GROUP with Trivita. What you do not know is we have many others just starting like one for the Shaklee groups. I am helping build these, and I was about to reveal that to Rick. I asked Rick if he lived in China? Here is some of the Skype transcript:

Tom Prendergast says:
I am starting an SEO Social Marketing Network for Shaklee, Interested? Do you live in China part time or something like that right?

Rick Haynes says:
Hello Tom, I have lived in China 14 years but me and my wife are getting ready to move to Montreal Canada. we will be going to China about once a year or so to visit.
I am interested in what you have to offer for Shaklee

Tom Prendergast says:
You know Shaklee is in China and Malaysia?

Rick Haynes says:
Yes, I talked to Cindy about it. I don't know how much I can do there

Tom Prendergast says:
OK so you do have people you know there right?

Rick Haynes says:
Yes I know some missionaries and some Chinese

Tom Prendergast says:
Maybe we should focus on building a small SEO Social Marketing Group from your contacts and friends in China before you leave.

Rick Haynes says:
I don't want to sound skeptical but most of the ones I know probably wouldn't be interested in Marketing but I can ask them.

Tom Prendergast says:
That is not the way to approach this

Rick Haynes says:
So what would you like me to do

What to do? This is why Integrated Marketing is so powerful and what I reveal next will help you, my gentle reader, fully understand why Integrated and educational market works and will always work, because it allows you to come to the market and meet them were they are comfortable and centered. I continue with Rick on Skype:

Tom Prendergast says:
First get them integrated with the ability to have live meetings with Vereconference. Just to get online and use the conference room for any reason. Ministry, Education, Home based education

Rick Haynes says:
Yao. I can do that

Tom Prendergast says:
Then start there. Building the online culture, 10-20 people regularly getting together online every week. This is good anyway since you will be leaving soon

Rick Haynes says:
OK, I can do that

Tom Prendergast says:
Then do that

Rick Haynes says:
Ok

Tom Prendergast says:
When you get it into a regular scheduled weekly get together let me know how it is going. You do not need to even present or discuss business.

Here is how I revealed to Rick how he can make an incredible advantage from his situation with this new mindset of marketing:

"Rick Haynes says:
I can only have 5 people at one time in the free room , right?

Tom Prendergast says:
Free room?

Rick Haynes says:
Yao with gold system

Tom Prendergast says:
We do not have a 5 people free room Rick. That is NOT FREE Rick. It is included with your subscription of $54.95

Rick Haynes says:
Yes, how many people can come in?

Tom Prendergast says:
4 plus moderator.

Tom Prendergast says:
Someone in the trainers group started that cultural reference to it. It needs to stop. The 2000 leads per day are not free either. Nor are the Portals. I also have been pushing to stop calling my conferences, "training". This is a major cultural shift I am taking Veretekk. Too much focus is put on the wrong type of reference. An outsider hears all this talk about free this and free that, then discovers you need tons of heavy work loaded concepts called massive trainings, am I making sense?

Rick Haynes says:
Yes, that is for sure

Tom Prendergast says:
We conduct conferences and work shops, you train PETs, you work with and educate people. Just like the cultural handicap of so many still holding on to "SELLING" and posting "ADS"

Rick Haynes says:
That sound much more professional

Tom Prendergast says:
We do not sell, advertise or post ads, we "educate and integrate", two totally different processes

Rick Haynes says:
I understand, we have to get with the program

Tom Prendergast says:
It has taken more than a year in the Warriors group and still some DO NOT GET IT, I instruct to Integrate into the Warriorsforum.com and become part of the culture, and many still go there and drive by post ADs to their affiliate sights and get kicked out.

Rick Haynes says:
WOW

Tom Prendergast says:
Some of these Warriors have destroyed their reputation at that forum because they continue to think "Sell, Advertise, Ads, etc."

Rick Haynes says:
That makes Veretekk have a bad name

Tom Prendergast says:
Some of our distributors are banned at that Forum because some are bent on only SELLING and ADs!. For comparison, "The Hammer" was old mentality and posted ADS, "The Drill" integrates with informationall paragraphs and backlinks. That is how it is supposed to be used anyway. It is an integration tool, a part of the whole integrated marketing system. There are still people in the Warriors Group that do not understand this.

At it's foundation is three parts.

  1. The Team(s)
  2. The V2 open house conferences and workshops
  3. The new Veretekk V2 Marketing Forum

The Teams:

The teams are the core of the system. SEO is a profession and as a profession. 90% of the professionals out there competing for SEO gigs are individuals with small companies and/or small entrepreneurs for their customers. Although this can be lucrative, it does not build residual income and customers come and go and you are always over booked and under paid going about business this way. The money is tight as well considering the economy and the competition as it may be.

Or you joined an MLM deal and you, by yourself, are trying to do all the SEO work, contacting leads, marketing, sales, telemarketing, site development all on your own. Am I pretty close to fact so far? Does this sound like you?

The idea struck me after I re-launched a new campaign to build a new leg in my Trivita business. I built the concept of a delegated ever growing team of viable Internet marketers. It worked great at first. But it grew large ant bureaucratic and the bickering began and the growth slowed down because the system did not replicate properly and the whole team grew huge and became very burdensome.

We did build a new leg and we broke records. The delegation part was spot on. But it did not replicate. With me so far?

Enter my friend Butch Hamilton. After taking a sabbatical for about 7 months Butch came back to Veretekk with a significant residual income growing in Trivita. Butch and I being reunited put our heads together and the idea was born. You see Butch was one of the first members in the new Trivita leg I built. When he came back, he really wanted to do SEO work, but only for Trivita. This is when it hit me.

All Trivita was really was just another SEO gig but the difference was it made a growing residual income regardless if you worked it or not. The difference being, if you worked it, it would grew faster, always building you a residual income. So the difference was it was a perfect SEO gig.

I came up with the idea on the phone with him several months ago, that we should take the basic principles of what we did in 2008 but with a much smaller team. So Butch contacted several of his down line in Trivita that were also Veretekk veterans and SEO specialists in their own right and we ran this new idea by them.

We created a small SEO group, set up a Skype chat group and delegated duties to the 7 members (Butch has added several more since then) and targeted the keyword "Work at Home" and "Trivita" and "Its Good Business". All of these are heavily searched and all of theses keywords has our site on the first page. Particularly, when we took first page for "Work at Home" we got real excited because that term is extremely competitive at over 2 million searches per month.

And…..the BEST place on the Internet to find the best Internet marketers is right here in Veretekk! The new marketing concept was born. SEO Social Marketing Networks. The team and the replication documentation is becoming the reality and was the missing link in the shift to Integrated Marketing and Educational Marketing you will read about in the new Veretekk ebook just recently released last month.

Prior to this I built the Warriors group of top Veretekk professionals with the purpose of pushing the new direction from training rooms to Veretekk Integrated Educational Seminars and workshops. Let me explain how that has been responsible for the redevelopment of Veretekk's system into the new V2 direction that you see evident in the first V2 release of the Money Machine.

In summary of this paradigm shift is we are building the SEO Social Marketing Network teams based on the strategic entry strategy we utilized in 2008 when we built the new Trivita leg that literally broke records that broke records, but now we are incorporating the exit strategy of replicating these smaller SEO groups so that the process is easily and quickly assimilated into your organization.

Simply put, this is nothing more than an SEO gig that you can do over and over as a small group in new opportunity upon new opportunity without becoming over burdened nor without the old school method of raiding existing down lines. Come to the meetings on Sundays as I will be consistently expanding on this new concept. And folks, it works. We have put it to the test, and the results are undeniable exceptional. Don't you think it is time for some exceptionalism to be part of your success?

Veretekk V2 systems and the new marketingboard.com

If you look at the new design and power of the soon to be released Money Machine portal you will see that it has enhanced the social networking power that has always existed in Veretekk. Retaining the lead generation capability it has always had, but seriously enhancing its Social Networking appeal and dynamically integrating it's SEO power. This is the first new V2 enhanced Portal of the new Veretekk system. It will pale in comparison as the other portals are brought on and finally the "Superlative" of the juggernaut design of the release of the Veretekk V2 portal. An integral part of all this is the new direction of the Marketing forum called the Marketing Board. Built on the similar premise of the Warrior Forum, which in my opinion is the finest example of a truly educational format of thousands of members engaged in the art of moving forward the level of knowledge to a hungry world of Internet Entrepreneurs.

This is why the Warrior Forum's popularity has been so strong. It is well managed, has no tolerance for drive by marketers that just spew unabashed ADS and SELL copy. With strict moderation, the Warriors Forum is all about education.

This is why we are modeling our new Veretekk Marketing Forum like the Warrior Forum for Veretekk members. To build your reputation. The categories in the new forum will be for established Network Marketing companies, Marketing categories and educational topics. Each Forum category will also have it's own live chat rooms. These chat rooms as well as the forum will have RSS feeds publishing from each section. The forum's last four posts will broadcast on your front pages of your new Veretekk V2 system when it launches.

But it goes beyond the obvious as we move forward with the SEO Social Marketing Network teams, we also grow the leadership. The leaders of these groups will be the moderators in the forum for the relative target their SEO Social Marketing Network is targeted. Butch is leading the pack with the first results driven SEO Social Marketing Network spearheading his Trivita business that is open to anyone that wants to learn the process and techniques. Are you still with me?

This all leads to the Open House Conferences we have been working towards for over a year with the Warriors group.

So in somewhat of a summary, what will transpire is this: There will be a self replicating process of consistently building small but powerful SEO Social Marketing Networks that continue to replicate. These organizations will be represented in the forum under that main category as in this case Trivita. There will be open house to the public Seminars that educate the open public the successful mindset and techniques and theories behind these unrivaled abilities to create outstanding results, that will then break out into workshops in the Silver system and then advance into Veretekk Gold training rooms.

Butch is just leading the pack on this process. Soon other groups will emerge for Pre Paid Legal, Shaklee, Xango, GBG, GDI, Send Out Cads, and Unicity. Many more will follow. Butch's process is helping me build the terms and procedures manuals so we can replicate this whole process and integrate it into the core of what Veretekk does so we can get many more of these teams, seminars and support systems in place, for all of Veretekk members benefit.

What does this mean for you?

It means that you will never look back at building your business by yourself ever again. It means that you will discover exactly how to integrate Veretekk into building your business, quickly, sanely, effectively and create a stable income from more than one source effectively in a step by step endeavor.

Think of it as we do. This basically an SEO gig that incorporates building a residual income from your marketing and SEO expertise instead of the old work once get paid once process so many of us tire over.

Ask Butch Hamilton. He will be live this Sunday to share his experience and explain how this is exactly the process he went through to help me discover the true direction that Veretekk is taking. It is a Herculean effort as we shift the direction of where Veretekk is going, but you can already see that Veretekk is moving forward into this dynamic and effective new goal. "That being to empower the individual to find real success and amortize that knowledge into multiple sources of income as well as develop skills that will forever change your playing field to your benefit". Once you learn this process, no matter where you go, you will achieve success. The true power of the SEO Social Marketing Network, that is Veretekk's destiny.

Another way to look at this: We are building replicating teams, that work by delegation, not duplication. The first attempt at this was in 2008 when I launched my new Trivita leg. The entry strategy proved to be right on target and in fact that campaign is what gave birth to the Platinum Control Panel. What was lacking was the exit strategy. What I mean by that is, the Seo Social Marketing team did not break off into new teams with new keyword targets in an orderly fashion. What happened is the team got too big and was not able to justly handle the ever growing lower level growth, and bickering, politics and resentment fermented and the whole system fell apart. What was badly needed was the exit strategy and that is what we are now focused on and moving forward with. We have branded it The SEO Social Marketing Network. It replicates and you basically work yourself into a lifetime of residual income and at the same time work your way out of the work. Not too shabby, I would say.

This concept will be the core of the coming Integration marketing conferences that will be opened to the public via your Veretekk front page (When we release the V2).

The V2 open house conferences and workshops

As we move forward with the epoch of all this to finally release the Veretekk V2 system. At the very core of that V2 release is the trainers/presenters working for you. The V2 system will allow anyone to come to your Veretekk Portal, enter their name (without email or verification) and enter the room as your guest into the main presentation Veretekk conference room. Like opening the doors to non Veretekk subscribers to our Sunday conferences.

Unlike the Sunday conferences we are moving towards Veretekk SEO Social Marketing Networks, teams, that are building businesses, like Butch is doing right now with Trivita, as well as having open house conferences open to the public, that then offer the valuable workshops in Silver as well as moving into the Gold conference rooms. This natural migration is classic integration/educational marketing. The open house conferences educate and illustrate what you did not know and need to know to achieve success and results. It may target emailing, blogging, social marketing, SEO knowledge so the public audience gets a real solid and professional presentation and they finish with a satisfaction that these presenters, know what they are talking about, the audience is integrated into the culture and discover a valuable resource for building their particular business.

Ask yourself, "How many times have you been sold into some deal, bought it, joined and left holding the bag with no help, direction nor support from the organization or individual that brought you the deal and closed you"? Now, put yourself in those shoes but discover an entire integrated organization that will educate you, teach you, with hands on workshops to achieve success at building your particular business?

Add to that a professional organization that puts on presentations cover all aspects of your particular company including the details of that company as well as the details on how to build that company with the various techniques and features that are Internet Marketing, Social Network Marketing, Email Marketing, real world marketing, etc. with real knowledge that works. Not some hyped up affair only designed to recruit you.

Am I making sense?

This is where Veretekk is going. Image this along side the 15 plus years of technology, knowledge and conviction few if any other companies possess. Veretekk has the experience, the history, the technology and the Internet properties. Heck we deliver over 1500 leads right into your system everyday from technology we built over 15 years ago and they are the best email leads on the market. Similar leads sell for $300 per 100. It is included within your system.

Do you know why aged domains are powerful? The search engines will give you much more relevancy if your domain has been around for more than a year and even more if they are really old. Ours are really old. Many have been owned by us since the mid 90s. Like http://youvegotmoney.com.

We have hundreds of these real old domains, and we also make them available as additional websites for you in our hosting system. You are not going to find this level of detail and attention when it comes to marketing and social networking on the Internet. Hosting is in final stages of beta and is about to be released. Money Machine is another one of the very old domains. Want to see the working template for the soon to be released site? http://habeas.money-machine.net/index.htm

NOTE: As the new Money Machine is installed into the Veretekk system, you will notice some additional control panels being installed, and they may not be functioning. Whenn we officially launch this new V2 portal, they will.

And..... Ebooks and Autoresponders.

The new direction is also changing the way your Portals work and changes in effect with your designated autoresponders. Here is why. Educational Marketing. Let me explain. When someone signs up into your Money Machine system, we send them a series of educational emails that teach how to build a small online business. We send in that last email, the link to the Money Machine PDF ebook.

This series of educational and integrated content, makes your prospect smarter, aware, and has a better understanding what works in the art of online business. Marketing online can be overwhelming, especially if you have no focus. We spell that out as well.

Then we invite your prospect to pursue greater knowledge, skills and tools, to achieve their goals.

We feel that this approach build a better client and that client will eventually represent what they are doing better. This is the future of marketing. Not selling, not recruiting and not hyping. But building, teaching and lifting each other up in the community of the Internet. And that is true entrepreneurialism.

The Flood Of Testimonials Continues...
Real People With Real Results!
Tom and Mike!

The Veretekk portal marketing program is outstanding and hard to compete with. After discovering Veretekk some three years ago this time I just had to find out what the upgrade from silver to gold would tell me. Oh boy was that some move, the Veretekk is the bomb. The highly technical layout is vast and in-depth to a tee. It is truly remarkable and the support has already proven worthy from my sponsor Jefferey Sloe. Highly recommended and all my friends will find out about this offer.

Dear Tom and Mike,

I wanted to personally thank you for helping me understand what SEO and the Veretekk System is all about. I am came into Veretekk in 2006 with my first gold account. Since then, I have been on and off with the system due to personal events. The main point I am trying to make here is I have never ever learned anything like this in my life. It took me a long time to understand what this system can do. Yet, I find myself continually learning new ways to launch my marketing efforts! Veretekk has taught me all of this.

Before I came to Veretekk, I was like the average Joe online trying to advertise a website that will never be seen by anybody. Now through your guidance and teachings I just launch a new gold system 1 month ago and have top positioning in Google on 3 keyword phrases for my business. I am truly grateful for all your help and knowledge. I know that if Veretekk ever fades away (Pray to god that never happens), I will have the knowledge to continue what this program is set out to teach.

Hi,

My wife and I are recent retirees working online to supplement our fixed income. We wasted thousands of dollars subscribing to many of the fantastic 'get rich quick' offers out there with almost never any income other than commissions on our own purchases. Then there was Veretekk! Finally an honest, ethical, marketing organization with real people to train, advise and mentor us about the reality of Internet Marketing.

Veretekk's Free Training is comparable to college level courses. We constantly interact with successful entrepreneurs from the Veretekk CEO (Tom Prendergast) to the many outstanding instructors and mentors like Manuel Washington who works with us daily as part of his 'caring, sharing and not comparing' philosophy. Thanks Veretekk for showing the way

The Money Machine

The Platinum promotion has been extended until October 31, 2010.

The Platinum Promotion has been a resounding success. Many of you thought it was three payments of $495 and when you found out it was only two, were even more pleased. This made me realize that I had actually cut the promotion of by one month. It should only charge you two months with the first month free.

So let me announce that this promotion is extended until the end of October. Those of you with the free limited Platinum Control Panels need to contact me personally via my Skype address to arrange financing, if you are interested in acquiring one of these panels for the rest of your life, including all upgrades and the 10 free Golds as well. Come January we are launching new pricing here the Panel will be a one time fee for $1,900 where we pay out $100 to the Gold subscriber above that Platinum and $800 to the direct upline that has the a Platinum Panel. In other words, if you are a Gold subscriber and own a Platinum Panel, your direct sales of Platinum Panels commissions will be a whooping $900 per sales.

Now that is great, but that means you are on your way to building your own SEO Social Marketing Network. And this is the focus and direction Veretekk is steaming full speed ahead into. More on that later. SEO Social Marketing Network groups are very powerful!

When you do sign up for the Platinum Panel, this year, go to http://platinum.veretekk.com to sign up your free 10 (make sure you choose good keywords) Silver Veretekk systems. Log into all of them then send me your Platinum Panel username and the usernames of those systems so I can upgrade them to Gold

These Gold systems do not pay commissions, but remember, our system lets you determine where sign ups get placed. So once you get these upgraded to Gold go into the Portal Control Panels and set up the LEADS section in each one to send those signups to your real Gold systems. Do not forget to do this!

Now a word to our Platinum Panel Beta groups. You are grand fathered into this system for life. Since you have the Platinum Panel and have had it for over a year, you truly are leaders in this system. We have massive upgrades coming to the panel including a Feedburner type system, a major upgrade to the Blogger Bully and some other enhancements that are so powerful; I can't reveal them right now. But those that know me, I speak seldom and softly and deliver big time!

Make sure to read Butch's article about building SEO Social Marketing Network teams. It all plays into this. The launch of The Money Machine V2

After nearly 2 years of modifying and upgrading and eliminating the 90's legacies of Veretekk in preparation of finally getting under way of delivering the new V2 systems and portals, behold, the new Money Machine. A thing of beauty, still retaining the power of lead generation, incorporating the Social Networking enhancements and becoming an even grander power in the art of SEO.

This portal is just a small taste of what is brewing at the Veretekk labs. This portal will be ready for launch by this Sunday as what I am showing you here and now is a completed and ready to lunch juggernaut of state of the art marketing raw power.

The RSS feeds are the same as the old portal, but now, they are the main focus of your portal. The survey form is front and center above the fold, and many new widget abilities have been added to enhance it's social networking appeal. Notice that it links to your Veretekk conference center, allows you to log into your Veretekk back office and has the PHP version of Twitter feeds built into it, so the search engines will reward you even more for constant content enhancements.

Looking closely you will discover it also links to the new Veretekk Marketing Forum which is publicly front and center and going to be debuted in the very near future.

Welcome to the future of Veretekk folks! (read more)

TriVita

Starting yesterday, when I was conducting the first ever SEO Boot camp Training for Veretekk members concerning building a TriVita business, I began that session with the importance of keyword selection. After all, most work at home business owners know very little about this process. Its important to realize that the entire process of building stable and viable work at home businesses should begin with this timely first step. This is why the aspect of what we offer at Veretekk, called SEO Social Networking, can be so vital to any work at home business being promoted on the search engines today.

If you search Yahoo, and Bing, you will see that we nailed page one positions on both of some of the most widely used search engines on the Internet. Going for a huge traffic generator like work at home, is the integral part of what we do in the search engine optimization business. We use proven and tactical approaches to marketing online. We teach, train and mentor others in how to gain search positions, that will undoubtedly drive traffic to their sites, and at some point, will make sales.

You see, in the work at home business industry, the problem is this. Even though the products are outstanding, the customer support is great, and the business has great potential in terms of making money, NO one teaches and trains their people on how to gain search positions on the Internet. This is a sad, but true fact. In ItsGoodBusiness.net, this is what we teach our TriVita members to accomplish. Through legitimate white hat SEO techniques, one can accomplish great things in any work at home endeavor found.

If you take note in this article, I never promote affiliate links of any sort. This is our way of marketing our respective TriVita businesses. This is the approach that has been used for nearly three years, and the plan is working brilliantly. A prospect comes to the site, is interested in learning more about our business model, they either make a phone call, or fill out the contact form, and we call them back. Educating our prospects is the most important element in this process. Educational marketing is the only way to significantly improve the success rate within a work at home business. Until people fully realize this, they will simply fall into obscurity, with the other 95% of people who never make money online.

TriVita is the right kind of business model to build a firm financial base with.

Australia Home Business

Australia Home Business

Trivita in Australia.

Trivita is not new. It is a 10 year old company.

TriVita, Inc. began with a vision - a vision of a world with less disease - a world where everyone has the opportunity for greater health and well-being.

Every day, TriVita is dedicated to helping people pursue healthy living. A trusted health solutions provider since 1999, we develop nutritional products and offer health and wellness services that support the whole person – physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Fast income Systems is in prelaunch of TriVita, a new to Australia MLM company

TriVita Inc. is a network marketing company whose stability and reliability in the industry is second to none.

Benefits of this business model.

This work at home business opportunity is absolutely suitable for work at home people or groups to join with me, and for those who believe that they are ready to make money from a work at home business.

Announcing Trivita Inc and the goals of people joining this new to Australia MLM Company are much like many others, they want to be trained correctly, and they expect to work and to be paid for the results they achieve.

How will this be different?

This launch for me will be very different. Like other MLM and network marketing companies, failures are usually due primarily to the lack of knowledge, business planning and strategies, and for the simple reason that no one really teaches and instructs those people in how to build a solid business base on Google. This is not some $200 or even a $2000 course where the supplier throws some videos on a screen, emails you some PDF nonsense and says "call the help desk if you cannot figure it all out" This is a business plan for success. Sure it won’t be for everyone. It is for people who want to work and follow the system for success.

As Michael Gerber (E-myth) says " Keep working on your Business not just in the Business.

Now pay attention!

I know you get so caught up in the daily life of running a business; it’s easy to miss the goals of what you wanted to achieve, instead you focus on say the day to day humdrum.

Why will this approach be different?

Not that you have a choice! You’re fighting fires, handling an irate customer, reconnecting screen so the accountant can complete the books and on and on. All normal! But still every day the same? So step back and see whether you’re missing a chance to make a more meaningful change to your business. This may be the right opportunity just made for you.

So if you’re ready to step up to the plate right now then we are willing to teach, train and mentor anyone who joins my group for TriVita Australia MLM organization in the art and science of reaching to the top of Google, Yahoo, MSN, WindowsLive, Bing and the other major searches of the Internet to obtain maximum benefit and results for your new MLM endeavours.

We offer solutions, not hype. We offer tools, not broken promises. We offer benefits, not excitement. We offer sound business principles that can be applied to this new to Australia MLM business.

TriVita is a 10 year old company and is just about continue building its very successful business here in Australia.

We will assist people in becoming successful in a work at home business. I would like for you to consider this. Where on the net can you find a business, either MLM, network marketing, or any other type of work at home business, that can really deliver on the promises like this new opportunity can do? I dare say that NO other business model can offer real solutions to online work at home marketers like we can provide. Enter you details on the form below and let the prelaunch begin. A Contact Form is now available.

Work At Home Internet Forum

An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site. It originated as the modern equivalent of a traditional bulletin board, and a technological evolution of the dialup bulletin board system. From a technological standpoint, forums or boards are web applications managing user-generated content.

People participating in an Internet forum may cultivate social bonds and interest groups for a topic made from the discussions.

Early Internet forums could be described as a web version of an electronic mailing list or newsgroup such as exist on Usenet; allowing people to post messages and comment on other messages. Later developments emulated the different newsgroups or individual lists, providing more than one forum, dedicated to a particular topic.

Internet forums are prevalent in several developed countries. In terms of countable posts, Japan is far in the lead with over two million posts per day on their largest forum, 2channel. China also has many millions of posts on forums such as Tianya Club.

Forums perform a function similar to that of dial-up bulletin board systems and Usenet networks that were first created starting in the late 1970s. Early web-based forums date back as far as 1996. A sense of virtual community often develops around forums that have regular users. Technology, computer games and/or video games, sports, music, fashion, religion, and politics are popular areas for forum themes, but there are forums for a huge number of topics. Internet slang and image macros popular across the Internet are abundant and widely used in Internet forums.

Forum software packages are widely available on the Internet and are written in a variety of programming languages, such as PHP, Perl, Java and ASP. The configuration and records of posts can be stored in text files or in a database. Each package offers different features, from the most basic, providing text-only postings, to more advanced packages, offering multimedia support and formatting code usually known as BBCode. Many packages can be integrated easily into an existing website to allow visitors to post comments on articles.

Several other web applications, such as weblog software, also incorporate forum features. WordPress comments at the bottom of a blog post allow for a single-threaded discussion of any given blog post. Slashcode, on the other hand, is far more complicated, allowing fully threaded discussions and incorporating a robust moderation and meta-moderation system as well as many of the profile features available to forum users.

Forums are governed by a set of individuals, collectively referred to as staff, made up of administrators and moderators, which are responsible for the forums' conception, technical maintenance, and policies creation and enforcing. Most forums have a list of rules detailing the wishes, aim and guidelines of the forums creators. There is usually also a FAQ section contain basic information for new members and people not yet familiar with the use and principles of a forum generally tailored for specific forum software.

Rules on forums usually apply to the entire user body and often have preset exceptions, most commonly designating a section as an exception. For example, in an IT forum any discussion regarding anything but computer programming languages may be against the rules, with the exception of a general chat section.

Forum rules are maintained and enforced by the moderation team, but users are allowed to help out via what is known as a report system. Most American forum software contains such a system. It consists of a small function applicable to each post including one's own. Using it will notify all currently available moderators of its location, and subsequent action or judgment can be carried out immediately, which is particularly desirable in large or very developed boards. Generally, moderators encourage members to also use the private message system if they wish to report behavior. Moderators will generally frown upon attempts of moderation by non-moderators, especially when the would-be moderators do not even issue a report. Messages from non-moderators acting as moderators generally declare a post as against the rules, or predict punishment. While not harmful, statements which attempt to enforce the rules are discouraged.

When rules are broken several steps are commonly taken. First a warning is usually given; this is commonly in the form of a private message but recent development has made it possible for it to be integrated into the software. Subsequently, if the act is ignored and warnings do not work, the member is usually first exiled from the forum for a number of days. Denying someone access to the site is called a ban. Bans can mean the person can no longer log in or even view the site anymore. If the offender, after the warning sentence, repeats the offense, another ban is given, usually this time a longer one. Continuous harassment of the site eventually leads to a permanent ban. However, in most cases this simply means the account is locked. In extreme cases where the offender after being permanently banned creates another account and continues to harass the site, administrators will apply an IP ban this can also be applied at the server level: if the IP is static, the machine of the offender is prevented from accessing the site. In some extreme circumstances, IP range bans or country bans can be applied; however, this is usually for political, licensing or other reasons.

Offending content is usually deleted. Sometimes if the topic is considered the source of the problem, it is locked; often a poster may request a topic expected to draw problems to be locked as well, although the moderators decide whether to grant it. In a locked thread, members cannot post anymore. In cases where the topic is considered a breach of rules it – with all of its posts – may be deleted.

A thread sometimes called a topic is a collection of posts, usually displayed from oldest to latest, although this is typically configurable: options for newest to oldest and for a threaded view a tree like view applying logical reply structure before chronological order can be available. A thread is defined by a title, an additional description that may summarize the intended discussion, and an opening or original post common abbreviation OP, which can also mean original poster which opens whatever dialogue or makes whatever announcement the poster wished. A thread can contain any number of posts, including multiple posts from the same members, even if they are one after the other.

A thread is contained in a forum, and may have an associated date which is taken as the date of the last post options to order threads by other criteria are generally available. When a member posts in a thread it will jump to the top since it is the latest updated thread. Similarly, other threads will jump in front of it when they receive posts. When a member posts in a thread for no reason but to have it go to the top, it is referred to as a bump or bumping. Threads which are important but rarely receive posts are stickyed. A sticky thread will always appear in front of normal threads, often in its own section.

A threads popularity is measured on forums in reply total posts minus one the opening post counts. Some forums also track page views. Threads meeting a set number of posts or a set number of views may receive a designation such as hot thread and be displayed with a different icon compared to others threads. This icon may stand out more to emphasize the thread.

A forum, just like any website, is only as good as its content. The richness of any work at home forum is entirely dependent upon the writing ability, and the members who post to said forum regularly.

It is the purpose of the work at home forum here, to provide Google readers with excellent information in regards to the art and science of working at home. There has never been a better time in history for the work at home field. Joining a business, then developing that business to its full potential, is the goal of ItsGoodBusiness.net (read more)

Work At Home

Work at Home

I was sitting here today, looking around on Google at the work at home category, and it came to me how fortunate I really am to be able to work at home, live life exactly how I wish to do it, and have no restrictions placed on my head by a boss. For my money, this has got to be the ultimate lifestyle. Many people searching for work at home, but often, they become involved with a business that just does not quite cut it, in terms of making enough money to live on. So, off to the day job to earn the living. Their thoughts are always that finding a good business to become involved with must exist, but up to this point, they simply have not found the right one.

I never try to convince anyone to try to join my business. As a matter of fact, I sometimes do not want them to join until they really know what the business is all about. You know, there are so many work at home business opportunities out there, and so many eager marketers, that it can literally be quite confusing on how to begin the process. Working at home is a lot different than having a boss stand over your shoulder. When you work at home, you have total freedom to do exactly as you wish. This is a catch 22 problem. Many are simply not disciplined enough to make the transition from a normal day job, to a work at home job. They may find themselves day dreaming about success with no effort, but in reality, working at home does require major work. You probably have not heard that before, but I am one who will tell the truth about the work at home industry. Work, the simple act of creating forward motion, is the keyword term. There is no escaping the fact that if you are going to become successful in a home business, you will definitely earn your keep. There are articles to write, websites to be created, backliinks to be built, prospects to be talked to on the phone, and host of other elements that you may not be really proficient with.

Its an amazing fact. Most people who are given websites to market do not really go through the sites and see all the features and functions of that site. They believe that simply having a good looking website is all that is needed to become successful. They may even believe that once the site is published, they are ready to make money with their new work at home business. Well folks, if this is what you believe, then I have a message for you. You could spend thousands of dollars on a site, but unless that site is constructed properly, it will be nothing but a worthless piece of digital trash. In other words, no one will visit the site, no one will see the site, and it will simply float around on the world wide web with no exposure at all. So, in essence, that great widget business you just bought into, is totally worthless. Oh sure, you could send your friends and family to the site, and have them marvel at how great it looks, but in reality, they are not going to join your business, and all your thinking, planning and dreaming will simply not work out for you.

Here at ItsGoodBusiness.net we offer solid business plans and implementation strategies that will work today, and in the future for marketing goods and services online. We are not about making you excited about joining our business, but rather offer you benefits and solutions that you can actually put to work in building a good work at home business that will make you a living. Notice, I said living, not rich! Honestly, there are NO businesses out on the search engines today that will make you rich. You may well expect to earn a good living, but get rich? NO way. If you have fallen for the claims of eager marketers in saying how they are getting rich in a month or so, then you will know for an undeniable fact that this is the basic strategy found in the work at home industry. I cannot fathom telling another person that making tens of thousands of dollars per month is the norm in the work at home business field. It is quite the opposite of that. As a matter of fact, I do not care what business you enter into, it will require time, effort, dogged determination and having a never quit attitude, before any money will be made at all. This is where most work at homers lose it. They are simply in a hurry to make money online. Hey, I know this business. I have been down that same road that you may be going down now. I can tell you horror stories of businesses that I bought into because someone I thought I knew and trusted, fed me a big line of BS. I know this sounds familiar, as I have worked with thousands of people over the last seven year period, and almost all of them have these stories.

If you are weary from the struggle of trying to build a work at home business. If you believe that out here somewhere on Google is a work at home business that does work. IF you are willing to come and listen to our business plan. IF you are willing to fill out our contact form so that I can speak directly to you, then you may just have found the beginning of a true business model that will work. I am here ready to talk with you, but unless you make the connection with me in some way, there is simply no way that I can explain the ItsGoodBusiness.net business plan.

I conducted a presentation last evening in the Veretekk training room facility. Within this overview, I presented perspectives and details concerning the work at home industry and offered the solutions to said problems as well. The interaction within the attendees was indeed rich and very positive. I look forward to providing more information along the way, and I know that Veretekk is now on a terrific new and exciting path. Up to this point, Veretekk has been known as the lead generation and SEO system. However, we are now moving into an entirely, and more seamless era, called SEO Social Networking.

SEO Social Networking could be thought of as a team effort. In other words, like minded individuals, who are working towards achieving a single goal, are assigned different jobs in the promoting process for a websites. This is called the ItsGoodBusiness.net business plan and implementation. ItsGoodBusiness.net is one of the most successful SEO campaigns ever devised for promoting the product TriVita. TriVita, located in Scottsdale, Arizona, is one of the leading health and wellness companies found on Google today. Their products, customer support and their mission statement, are all geared to providing work at home entrepreneurs the necessary elements that they need in order to achieve success.

The goals of people joining TriVita, are much like any other MLM or network marketing company. Work at homers join, and then they believe that they are ready to make money from a work at home business. Like other MLM and network marketing companies, many of these people will fail. This failure rate is due primarily to the lack of knowledge, business planning and strategies, and for the simple reason that no one really teaches and instructs those people in how to build a solid business base on Google. This is where the ItsGoodBusiness.net business model steps up to the plate. We are willing to teach, train and mentor anyone who joins our TriVita organization, in the art and science of reaching to the top of Google, Yahoo, MSN, WindowsLive and the other major searches of the Internet. Without a doubt, there is no more powerful SEO Social Networking System found on Google today.

We offer solutions, not hype. We offer tools, not broken promises. We offer benefits, not excitement. We offer sound business principles that can be applied to the TriVita business, to assist people in becoming successful in a work at home business. I would like for you to consider this. Where on the net can you find a business, either MLM, network marketing, or any other type of work at home business, that can really deliver on the promises like Veretekk and ItsGoodBusiness.net can do? I dare say that NO other business model can offer real solutions to online work at home marketers like we can provide.

The powerful new shift in Veretekk, that of allowing leaders of different types of MLM businesses, to train their organizations in the art and science of effective promoting techniques. Not allowing pitching sessions to join their business, but rather allowing them to give presentations concerning the integration of Veretekk to build any business more successfully and seamlessly. When I think of the times that I have been on teleconferencing calls, and heard shouts of excitement and enthusiasm for the new and famous product launch, I really never heard anyone step up to the plate and tell me that they were actually going to bring me into a web conferencing room, and show me how to approach building a successful business model utilizing the power of Google.

The vision that Tom Prendergast and Mike Darling have with Veretekk, is now becoming clearer and more concise on a daily basis. Now, with the new programming engineer, Mariusz Antonik, the system is beginning to live the up to the potential that has always been there, in helping people achieve success and notoriety within the work at home field. I dare say that NO other business model can assist people like the combination of ItsGoodBusiness.net and Veretekk!

I will continue my quest towards the top position on the keyword category on Google called work at home. It is my goal to achieve, and hold that sacred position indefinitely. It will be an interesting task, but with the significant promoting system like Veretekk, that goal will be achieved.

Work At Home Businesses Provide Jobs in Dwindling Economy

Work At Home

The Good, Bad and The Ugly

The Bad

I think about creating work at home jobs. The process is amazing and confusing, to say the least. For most, finding a work from home job means this. Someone you know know, like a family member, or friend, calls up on the phone and tells you what a tremendous work at home business they have joined and you just have to see it to believe it. There is excitement in their voice, as they know full well, this is going to be THE ONE that will make you rich, famous and allow you to eventually quit your day job. Without hesitation, you signup from their link, and all of a sudden, you have before you untold wealth just sitting there waiting to take hold of. The whole process only took a couple of minutes, but in those few moments, you said to yourself that this might just work! If it does, your troubles will all be over as the money will begin to flow effortless as water into your life. You have invested money in work at home business that is making others rich, and so why can this not work for you? After all, you are an intelligent business person. You have possibly made money with other offline businesses, so what could possibly be different about coming onto Google and doing exactly the same thing? You have just fallen for the oldest trick in the book. You have not THOUGHT before signing up. You see, you simply do NOT know how to build a business online. You only know that networking to your friends and family is the only way to fly, right? Well, you have just experienced what I call the BAD work at home business mind set.

The Ugly

From the blurb above, this is what I consider to be the bad decision in joining a work at home business. Now, we will get into some more details about the UGLY business of working at home. You get an email from so-called self proclaimed super network marketing legend. In that mail, he tells you how much money he is making, and he can show you how to do exactly the same thing. Maybe today, you are at a weak point in your work at home job, and you are looking for a way to get out of the box trap. So, you follow the link and what do you find? You find banners flashing, testimonials of average people, just like yourself, who are making tens of thousands of dollars by just working at home. The testimonials look good, and after all, no one would like on a website, right? So, you plunge fully ahead, pull out the old plastic, and you are in that new and exciting business program that everyone is raving about. You fell once again for the oldest trick in the book, you got excited thinking about the possibilities, but forgot one simple fact. You just do not know where to go from here. You begin the tedious and demanding process of going on canned teleconferencing calls that are aimed directly at getting you more excited about the business model. You hear these so called legends talking about how they took their business from zero to millions. They will teach you duplication, and how to do exactly what they are doing to make millions of dollars in this simple work at home business. This is THE UGLY!

The Good

You are searching on Google for a work at home business. You are diligent in your approach to this as you sift and sort through the unlimited maze of businesses out there, and all of a sudden, you come across a website that actually makes sense for a change. You hear one of the most powerful network marketers ever known talking about the problems with the MLM and network marketing businesses today. You hear about the difference between excitement and intelligence. You hear about common sense and results, rather than being inundated with foolish facts and figures that are simply lies. You hear that this organization is concerned with offering you real tools, real training and is willing to go the distance with you to teach you exactly how to approach this whole game of Internet marketing. This work at home business model works today, and will work far into the future for precisely one reason, real people, just like yourself, have been taught the art and science of creating wealth from a substantial work at home business.

So, the question is this. Are you looking for a good business? Are you willing to leave all your ego and misconceptions about the process and become educated in the how to of a work at home job? If you are, then simply clicking the link below will open up an entirely new experience for you. You will become educated in the process, strategy, theory and action of a good work at home business.

Work At Home

In the ongoing quest for providing the best information concerning starting a work at home business, I delve deeper into this process so as to unlock some of the mysteries for my Google readers. Is it not amazing to think that anyone has the ability to start a work from home business, learn how to effectively promote that business, and over time, create an income that will sustain them even in tough economic times like we have right now? For me, its a real privilege to possess this knowledge concerning working at home, and quite honestly, I would recommend that business model to anyone seeking a job alternative.

When you consider what working at home really is, it is a way to simplify your life, live according to your terms and enjoy each and every day that has been granted to you. How many people out in the world are hurting, depressed, and basically trapped in a job box? Of course there are no statistics to prove my theory, but I am thinking that most people, at one time or another have agonized over their day job, and yearned for a way out of the maze. Did you know? There is a way out! There is a way out of this worthless and fruitless working each day world, and that answer could just be working at home.

There are numerous ways to work at home. Telecommuting, e-commuting, e-work, telework, working from home (WFH), or working at home (WAH) is a work arrangement in which employees enjoy flexibility in working location and hours. In other words, the daily commute to a central place of work is replaced by telecommunication links. Many work from home, while others, occasionally also referred to as nomad workers or web commuters utilize mobile telecommunications technology to work typically from coffee shops or myriad other locations. Telework is a broader term, referring to substituting telecommunications for any form of work-related travel, thereby eliminating the distance restrictions of telecommuting. All telecommuters are teleworkers but not all teleworkers are telecommuters. A frequently repeated motto is that "work is something you do, not something you travel to". A successful telecommuting program requires a management style which is based on results and not on close scrutiny of individual employees. This is referred to as management by objectives as opposed to management by observation. The terms telecommuting and telework were coined by Jack Nilles in 1973.

These types of jobs are not necessarily what I mean when I say work at home. I am personally not wanting to be tied to any job that does not allow me the flexibility to create and achieve what I wish to achieve on my own merit. Affiliate marketing is a marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate's marketing efforts. Examples include rewards sites, where users are rewarded with cash or gifts, for the completion of an offer, and the referral of others to the site. The industry has four core players: the merchant, the network, the publisher and the customer. The market has grown in complexity to warrant a secondary tier of players, including affiliate management agencies, super-affiliates and specialized third parties vendors.

Affiliate marketing overlaps with other Internet marketing methods to some degree, because affiliates often use regular advertising methods. Those methods include organic search engine optimization, paid search engine marketing, e-mail marketing, and in some sense display advertising. On the other hand, affiliates sometimes use less orthodox techniques, such as publishing reviews of products or services offered by a partner.

Affiliate marketing using one website to drive traffic to another is a form of online marketing, which is frequently overlooked by advertisers. While search engines, e-mail, and website syndication capture much of the attention of online retailers, affiliate marketing carries a much lower profile. Still, affiliates continue to play a significant role in e-retailers marketing strategies.

The problems associated with work at home affiliate marketing businesses is the fact that most people who choose to enter into them, are in the dark on the process of advertising, or marketing their greatest work at home business to the rest of the world. They will resort to any underhanded tactics like reverse marketing, cross recruiting from other downline organization, using social networking to peddle their wares to others and many other ways. But, did you know that there are proven strategic business plans that can, and must be implemented in order to achieve notoriety and presence on Google, Yahoo, MSN, WindowsLive and the other major searches of the Internet?

Work At Home

Today, I created a good YouTube Video titled work at home. I wanted to create an interest from my Google reader that happened to be searching for work at home. I did this for a very specific reason. In the first place, the keyword term is searched over 2 million times each month. This tells me that people are indeed, trying to find information concerning starting a home business, or trying to find a work from home business that is highly publicized to join. Its a fact that people are interested in joining or starting a good rock solid work at home business opportunity. As with anything found on Google, there is somewhat of a catch 22 when it comes to finding good information. Often times, those that spend the most money will be found at the top. So, it may just be that some so-called Internet marketing legend has bought their way to that position. That does NOT mean that the work at home business model is right for everyone. Looking for a good business is a tough road, to say the least. The searcher may come across totally ridiculous terms like get rich quick, make money online, get rich in a home based business and other misleading statements. Let us clarify this right here and now.

There are no quick and easy solutions to a work at home business!

It is about time that all work at home netpreneurs stand and rally around that statement, simply because it is the truth. It is a funny thing about truth. Some people just will not accept the truth as being real. They had rather have visualizations of riches beyond belief, fast cars, beautiful women and everything associated with the so called good life. Work at home advertisers will spare no expense in trying to convince and coerce others into joining their business. You know that there is the statement, "Fake It Until You Make It." Now this sums it all up for me. It simply means those that lie the best, walk away with the prize on the Internet. Well dear reader, I am here to blow your mind and inform you that if you buy into this type of lie, then you probably deserve to get exactly what you ask for!

IF you are reading this article, and expecting to hear exaggerations, lies, hype and misrepresentations of the truth, then you will be sadly disappointed. If, on the ohter hand you are looking for a real business, a work at home business model that has worked well for over three years, a work at home business plan that will assist you in reaching your goals and dreams, then you have definitely come to the right place! There is simply no better time to become involved in a work at home business. The economy is hurting, to say the least. Real people are looking for benefits and solutions to their financial dilemmas. Clicking the link listed below, can be the most imortant move that you have made so far. You will become associated with true work at home business professionals. They are not wealthy, nor rich, but they are one thing.

Financially Free!

Work At Home

If you follow the above link, you will be taken to another site, where work at home articles reign supreme. You see, I am driven to creatively write about my passion, which is simply, working at home. I find no better way to spend my time than writing, and talking with others about the work at home industry. One thing becomes much clearer to me. People want to work at home, they want time freedom, they want to live their lives on their own terms, but honestly, very few of us ever reach that goal. I have to wonder why is this so?

After deciding some seven years ago that I was going to learn how to start a work from home business, I really knew nothing about how to promote effectively on Google. I knew what the Internet was, but really knew nothing about promoting goods and services online. I scoped the gambit and began buying everything that I could find out about how to promote my work at home business effectively on Google. I spent way too much money, and honestly, got nothing for that hard earned cash spent. I am sure that you can equate very well to this story.

I learned really quickly that almost everything you read out on the Internet is simply a lie. If it is not a lie, then its the truth stretched just a little. I learned that spam emails that I received in my inbox telling me about leads, traffic generating systems, making money from a work at home business were basically all lies. Very little truth can be found online folks. Now, this is good news for you. You can learn from me the RIGHT way to begin a successful work at home business. You can learn specific techniques, strategies and systems that offer you great advantages in working from home, that others simply do not know about. You will learn how to save your money, not spend it. You will learn that most of everything that you will need to build a great home business is sitting right in front of you at this time. Your computer, and a notepad document, will be the place to begin your journey. You will learn that after a period of time, you can build your own powerful profile on Google that people can view, and learn who you are and what you do. You will learn that spending money foolishly on Google pay per click advertising, leads and other forms of well known business elements online, is totally unnecessary. Is that not great news for you today?

I do not make statements like this without due cause after having worked with thousands of people over the years in this industry. Any reliable Internet marketing agency will back up this story as well.

Franchise

For Immediate Release-The Franchise Business Model Provides Stable Income

For many who enter into franchising, the goal of creating a sound financial future can be achieved for long term profit.

The ultimate goal of our business is to inform people of the alternatives they have that could make a difference in their overall process of building stable incomes for future rewards. Follow the various links for more information and insights.

It is the job of our marketing research to always provide readers with the best information concerning various topics that we promote. These press releases and articles are based on actual daily researching and evaluation, and should always provide excellent data to examine.

Franchising is one of the best ways to build a business. The franchise can be purchased for a large amount of money; however, that money may be well spent as the business is already well branded, and the elements are locked firmly in place for the business professional to follow.

Many who enter into franchising will find that creating a business plan, and then fully following that plan into profit, may be a costly and time consuming process. The franchise owner become solely responsible for all aspects of the business including, hiring and overseeing employees, ordering replacement stock, accounting, advertising, maintaining building codes and upkeep, and constantly monitoring every aspect of the business can be a quite demanding pursuit.

Working long hours, toiling over books and records, making sure that employees show up and are actively pursuing the goals of the franchise and the seemingly mountain of services that need to be monitored on a daily basis can be somewhat overwhelming. If all of the business aspects are not carried out, an empty and failed building will be the too often evidence of the plans going awry.

In the constant evaluations of franchising, it has come to be found that traditional franchises are being replaced by the less costly, and more time friendly franchise alternatives are being pursued in 2012. The SOHO franchise model is sound, financially lucrative, and provides a better return, with less time spent in the building and growing of the business.

Internet marketing agency research will reveal much more data in the future to backup the findings. This will be reported in future press releases.

Marketing

Interact with me on The Marketing Blog!

The world as I see it is based upon one's inherent ability to market either themselves, or their business interest correctly. The prime reason that most people fail in any business could be found in one term, location. In offline businesses, the location of a business interest is paramount. The old adage of no traffic to the store would equal no sales should be quite apparent. The same goes with an online business. Your location on the Internet, with high traffic, or niche marketing keywords, should be the primary goal of the business owner. It is a sad but true fact that almost no one involved in the MLM or network marketing business has any real clue on how to properly educate themselves on the process, and move steadily forward, on a day by day basis, until the location is achieved and held consistently.

The pseudo gurus out there will tell you that the power is in the list. So, in essence, building a huge email list should provide everything that any marketer needs to make sales, right? Well, in a perfect world, this might very well be the case, but in the real world, almost no email delivers anyway. I know personally that I have a very difficult time in getting an email, any email out to anyone. There must be some liberal minded, pencil toting, tape around the glasses moron, that is telling everyone which email that they will receive, and which email they will not receive. In other words, email marketing is pretty much a dead deal in marketing a business on the Internet. This is not to say that being effective with email lists can work, but for most MLM pitch men and women, that is nothing short of wasting valuable time in pursuing. In 2012, that is just not happening in the world of real marketing.

This even applies to real world business models like the franchise. The research and testing for that category over the last few weeks has led me to believe that franchising is advertised much like the proverbial carnival show barker out in the carnival midway. "Just signup for this franchise today, and get rich quick with no effort!" Needless to say, there is just no such animal. The franchise, any franchise will take time, energy, effort and immense resources and a will of iron to make it pay on a profitable scale for the long term. It goes without saying that most who enter the hallowed halls of buying a franchise business model will soon find themselves wrapped in a maze of hard work, no profit, confusion and bewilderment. They fell for the latest and greatest widget franchise, that was advertised by hacking pitch men and ad agencies, that have no clue what real marketing and research really is all about..

All types of businesses pursued should come with a provision that reads, "you must come fully prepared to research your market before entering! Without this type of knowledge and insight, any business will be doomed to fail in today's economy. I had the rare opportunity to sit in on one of the best webinars I have attended by Gudrun Smith, well known entrepreneur and personal development mentor, concerning How To Create A Business Plan. She did an extremely good job at telling the truth about creating a business plan, and following it to the letter until goals and profitability are well in tow. It was also surprising at the lack of turn out to the webinar that I saw. This leads me to know for a fact that cultural apathy is indeed rampant in the good old USA today. After all, attending a webinar is about the simplest and best way to gain insight and information on the real ways to market any business in todays fast paced world. The real killer in this society is apathy, and believe you me, its a far bigger problem than one might presuppose. I see it everywhere that I go. No one really wants to do anything, and is depending on the US to pull their wings out of the fire. For me, this is not the case.

So what is the answer to the riddle of surviving in today's economic doldrums? Education, knowledge, insight, perspectives and good old fashioned hard work will see anyone through the bad times. Yes, I know its an old fashioned thinking style, but the same values that made this country great are still there, they have simply been thwarted by liberal thinking.

Franchising

Subscribe Today for More Info!

The franchise business model has been used since the 1800s. It is thought that the Singer Sewing Machine Company was one of the very first examples of franchising.

From that day, to current times in 2012, there are millions of successful and lucrative franchise business models seen. All one has to do is look on each block in any town in the USA.

Having said that, the franchise plan is by no means a simple and easy process to become part of. Massive outlays of cash keep many willing and eager entrepreneurs from entering the dark waters of the franchising plan. It is a fact that most people who enter into the franchise business model will often spend eighty hours or week or more, just in operating the day to day functions of the growing entity. One is thrust into the positions of being the chief cook and bottle washer for the entire organization. This is certainly not the plan that these people had for becoming a rich and successful business professional!

Franchising

Those That Have...Those That Want

Today, there seems to be two different kinds of people who would be seeking a franchise business model. Those that have, and those that want They are not that different in their thinking except one group will actively pursue and possibly find a business that they can operate, and then go on from there to see that their profit making machine grows even larger. These would be the entrepreneurial minded individual or group that is totally dedicated to creating a business plan, conduct the market research for their particular interest and pursue with all fervor and diligence to see that the franchise amplifies into an even bigger monopolistic type entity over time. One might say that those that have, want more!

Those That Want

This type of dreaming, planning and conceiving individual is always thinking about a way out. They may not be happy being in a conventional day job, and their whole existence could be built around just getting out. They want out of the rat race. They want out of that bad relationship. They want out of the world as they know it, and feel the need to constantly search and research, thinking that there is a magic bullet that will propel them into a rich new world of profit and money. One could class those individuals as the dreamers of the world. They are incessantly dreaming, but actually do not progressive action to make those dreams come true.

For the ones that already have, as in the case of a profitable franchise business model, they simply want more. It could be greed, lust for money, and will stop at nothing to overtake an entire region with their one of a kind business model. These are the movers and shakers of the world. Their passion for living is making more money than anyone else, living life on a different scale than most, and are always driven to succeed, no matter what the cost.

There are as many different options in franchising as there are the different kinds of people who search for them. For those that have no problem developing and growing a business, then a franchise may work well. For those that simply dream, then chances are very likely that nothing will be gained of any value in the incessant search for the quick and easy way to make money.

As with traditional franchises, there are many franchise alternatives that can be viewed as alternative options. Many of these are workable, more cost effective to purchase, and provide a better income potential. The secret to uncovering these profit potentials will be found in conducting extensive marketing research. It is well worth taking a close look at these by clicking on the various links in this article.

Why the Franchise?

Why Would Someone Purchase a Franchise?

Having discussed with others concerning the franchise business model, it would seem that many approach the buying or finding of a franchise by reading information that is written more like an MLM pitch, than professionally looking at marketing research data, and establishing a professional approach to the matter at hand. One does not simply decide one day to buy an expensive franchise. If they do choose that path to follow, then most times, they will find themselves saddled with an eighty hour or more per week job. This was more than likely not their intention at all. They were looking for a way to make money without effort. Dare I say that this just does not happen in the real world.

Finding, and then purchasing a franchise business model will require an intensive path to market research, evaluation, digging deep into the process, talking with successful franchise owners, and of course, entering into the legal field will all be part of the process. The more into the process that one goes, the more that interesting facts will begin to be found about this so called, best way to build a business called franchising.

1. Franchises Are Expensive - One can expect to pay dearly for this misunderstood business building system called the franchise. After researching, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a franchise can be expected. That does not include the actual day by day operating expenses, the wages paid, the building expenses, the taxes and all other facets of building a business. Also included in the money game are the fees that will be paid to the corporate for the exclusive branded rights of the business in question.

2. Hours of Work Will Be Included - For many, finding a good franchising type business model, and then building that into an economically profitable venture will require massive amounts of time and effort. If one thinks that buying a franchise is all that there is to it, then they have no clue to the real process. Working daily, sometimes well beyond what the normal job would require, is the too often scenario found in a franchise business proposition.

3. Building a Business Requires Resources - There is no other way to state the art of franchising other than it is building a business. Unfortunately, most people who enter into franchising have no clue as to the process called business building. They believe that it will be simple and much easier to just buy a job, than it would be to work for another. Quite the contrary will be found.

Slow Growth to Profitability - It will take years of dedication and services to the franchise business before profit is being made. There are simply no quick and easy ways today to making money. It will be a slow and consistent effort, most often a lifetime, before a business model will reach its full income potential. Those seeking franchising business opportunities can expect to spend an entire lifetime and beyond to really see the type of success they are seeking.

Why Would Someone Purchase a Franchise?

That question is really becoming stronger with time as I continue to research and learn all about franchising. My marketing research is beginning to show me that traditional franchise business opportunities are beginning to flatten out. This means that high ticket models are being not as highly regarded as they once were, and many are turning to a more home based business franchise model to pursue. This may show that operating a franchise alternative from a SOHO business model may just be the answer.

A Franchise

In our continuing pursuit of finding detailed information concerning franchises, and the ensuing journey towards enlightenment on the topic, it is becoming increasingly apparent that there are valid claims to be made about buying a franchise; however, there are also abundant reasons found that should be carefully considered when buying into any business.

The meaning of the word franchise is simply another term used in having the ability to buy into an existing successful business model. Costly at times, most franchises will require an abundance of cash, and there can be associated problems as well. No business is absolutely assured of success. They all require diligence and forethought to grow and prosper.

Franchise business models carry certain criteria that should be carefully considered. Making snap judgements about a particular franchise business opportunity can lead to certain financial disaster. A long term business venture is far more appealing than some quick buck business. In terms of how long does it take to be in profit with any business, that final outcome will come after fully digging into the business, and never letting go of the fact that success will become imminent.

Purchasing a franchise is like any other investment: it comes with risk. When you think about a particular franchise, think about the demand for the products or services it offers, competitors that offer similar products or services, the franchisor’s background, and the level of support you will receive.

Demand

Is there a demand for the franchisor’s products or services in your community? Is it seasonal or ever- green? Could you be dealing with a fad? Does the product or service generate repeat business?

Competition

What’s the level of competition—nationally, regionally, and locally? How many franchised and company-owned outlets are in your area? Does the franchise sell products or services that are easily available online or through a catalog? How many competing companies sell similar products or services? Are they well-established or widely recognized by name in your community? Do they offer a similar product at a similar price?

Your Ability to Operate the Business

Sometimes, franchise systems fail. What will happen to your business if the franchisor closes up shop? Will you need the franchisor’s ongoing training, advertising, or other help to succeed? Will you have access to the same suppliers? Could you conduct the business alone if you have to cut costs or lay anyone off?

Before you invest in a particular franchise system, think about how much money you have to invest, your abilities, and your goals. Be brutally honest.

Name Recognition

Buying a franchise gives you the right to associate with the company’s name or brand. The more widely recognized the name, the more likely it is to draw in customers.

Consider:

name and brand recognition for the company and its product or service
whether the company has a registered trademark
how long the franchisor has been in business
whether the company’s reputation is for quality products or services
whether consumers have filed complaints against the franchise with the Better Business Bureau or a local consumer protection agency

Training and Support Services

What training and continuing support does the franchisor provide? Does the franchisor’s training measure up to the training for workers in the particular industry? Can you compete with others who have more formal training? What backgrounds do the current franchise owners have? Is your education, experience, or training similar?

Franchisor’s Experience

Many franchisors operate well-established companies with years of experience both in selling goods or services and managing a franchise system. Some franchisors started by operating their own business. There is no guarantee, however, that a successful entrepreneur can successfully manage a franchise system.

Find out:

how long the franchisor has managed a franchise system
whether the franchisor has enough expertise to make you feel comfortable. If the franchisor has little experience managing a chain of franchises,
take any promises about guidance, training, and other support with the proverbial grain of salt.

Growth

A growing franchise system increases the franchisor’s name and brand recognition and may enable you to attract customers. But growth alone does not’t ensure successful franchisees. Indeed, a company that grows too quickly may not be able to support its franchisees with the support services it promises them. Investigate the franchisor’s financial assets and resources; are they sufficient to support the franchisees?

What Is A Franchise?

What Is a Franchise?

To locate a franchise business model to pursue, ,perhaps the Internet will be the place to begin. After all, there are literally millions of franchises that could work for certain individuals or groups, but it will be most important to research markets in a professional manner, to locate just the right one that suits the budget, as well as the thinking of the individual.

In the world of business on the Internet, most will use MLM or network marketing to build businesses for the future. Is franchising an option that you have ever considered before? Perhaps, this type of buying a job process might work for some, but for many, the typical high ticket franchise business is simply too expensive, or too time consuming to pursue. Here is some interesting insights, and perhaps alternatives to franchises.

The franchise, a powerful and somewhat appealing business model for many, contains many interesting aspects. To fully develop the proper thinking towards what a franchising business really is, much research is needed to uncover different aspects of the process. Some of these facts may not be what people are expecting to find about the actual buying of a franchise business model. We simply report our research findings, then its up to the individual or organization to make the final call.

There would seem to be perplexing questions that need to be answered for the term franchise, or franchising. In our continuing quest to unlock some of the mystery surrounding franchise, we came across some valuable information for readers looking for those answers.

When one looks at the definition of franchising, it may clear up some of the mystery surrounding exactly what it is, who it is designed for and also let readers know that a sustainable franchise is only possible through diligence, hard work, and maybe even some luck thrown in as well. Franchising is the practice of using another firm's successful business model. For the franchisor, the franchise is an alternative to building 'chain stores' to distribute goods and avoid investment and liability over a chain. The franchisor's success is the success of the franchisees. The franchisee is said to have a greater incentive than a direct employee because he or she has a direct stake in the business.

The paragraph above gives a decent definition of franchising, but there are several elements that go into the finding of a great franchise type business model.

Some of the elements concerning franchising are found below:

A good track record of profitability.
Easily duplicated.
Detailed systems, processes and procedures.
Broad geographic appeal.
Relatively easy to operate.
Relatively inexpensive to operate

There are some definition terms that would need an immense amount of clarification when talking to someone about buying a franchise type business. The term easily duplicated would seem to send shivers up and down the spine of anyone who has been told, "just do what I do, and succeed." This seems to conjure up the proverbial MLM type thinking, and obviously franchise business models are not, or should not be advertised in this way, should they? On the contrary, if one searches on Google for the term franchise, there will indeed be found many advertisements talking about getting rich quick with no effort. So, once again tough questions must be asked when considering buying a franchise.

The term easy to operate also brings to mind some questions. An easy to operate business may look good from the outside looking in, but when the individual actually begins to work the business, it could be a different scenario. Too often, eager entrepreneur type people will jump into a business before thoroughly investigating all the different areas of the business. Research and patience is the key to finding a business, but hard work and dedication is the way to build that business for future returns on money spent.

Another term above which would be relatively inexpensive to operate, also brings to mind another question. Is a costly high ticket franchising business model really inexpensive to operate? Au contraire would be an adequate term to use. A business, any business, whether involved with franchising or not, is going to require great resources in time, money and effort. Inexpensive is a relative term. If one has millions, then a few hundred thousand is not a huge amount. If one has thousands, then Hundreds are a hurdle.

In conclusion, is franchising a safe investment in 2012? It would seem that finding a good franchise alternative could be the answer to the riddle. To learn more about that type of system, simply follow the links in this article and learn more!

SEO Tools-The Platinum Control Panel by Veretekk

Original Post Found @ Butch Hamilton

WordPress Is History!

I am through with the worst blogging system found on Google today called WordPress. Within this amazingly obscure and easy to hack system, one finds the most amazing amount of bad information, bad coding, bad template construction and the list goes on and on.

I have built numerous WordPress blogs over the years, but as of late, the system keeps having security updates, sometime on a daily basis, just to try to keep the scammers, spammers, and black hat guys at bay. Obviously they are not doing a very good job of it.

On this positive note, it should be noted that the site: Butch Hamilton, is now hosted on the Veretekk system Platinum Control Panel blogger drone series. On can clearly see the benefits of doing this, and the question comes to my mind. Why is everyone marketing goods and services on Google today, NOT buying a Veretekk Gold System?

I am more than convinced that WordPress, and the associated plugins offered are run by black hat SEO people. I am certainly glad to be in the process of leaving that system far behind.

Original Article Posted @ Hamilton Family Legacy

Country Boys Can Survive!

If you think that business, real business is about guys dressed in three piece suits, driving Rolls Royce automobiles to their high corporate jobs, then think again. Real business is run by solid, well grounded red-necked conservatives, like me. I am not about the hype of the Internet, and as a matter of fact, find most of the Information on Google total BS. Perhpas the following will explain more about me, and my business.

I was listening to Hank Williams song: Country Boy Can Survive, and I thought this would be an excellent way to convey not only my thinking about life in general, but also how it applies precisely to surviving using network marketing as a business model.

The preacher man says it’s the end of time
And the Mississippi River she’s a goin’ dry
The interest is up and the Stock Markets down
And you only get mugged
If you go down town

I live back in the woods, you see
A woman and the kids, and the dogs and me
I got a shotgun rifle and a 4-wheel drive
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

I can plow a field all day long
I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn
We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
Ain’t too many things these ole boys can’t do
We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

Because you can’t starve us out
And you cant makes us run
Cuz we're them old boys raised on shotgun
And we say grace and we say Ma’am
And if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn

We came from the West Virginia coalmines
And the Rocky Mountains and the and the western skies
And we can skin a buck; we can run a trot-line
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

I had a good friend in New York City
He never called me by my name, just hillbilly
My grandpa taught me how to live off the land
And his taught him to be a businessman
He used to send me pictures of the Broadway nights
And I’d send him some homemade wine

But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife
For 43 dollars my friend lost his life
Id love to spit some beechnut in that dudes eyes
And shoot him with my old 45
Cause a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

Cause you can’t starve us out and you can’t make us run
Cuz we're them old boys raised on shotgun
And we say grace and we say Ma’am
And if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn

We’re from North California and south Alabam
And little towns all around this land
And we can skin a buck; we can run a trot-line
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive


The fact is, I am a country boy, born and raised in the country. I am a natural born survivor of things that would make modern man shake and shimmer all over. I have been down the rocky and hard road in my life, and yet, I have been able to build a powerful network marketing business by following a few simple rules and guidelines.

I believe that the Cowboy Code of Ethics fits perfectly here:

A cowboy never takes unfair advantage - even of an enemy.

A cowboy never betrays a trust. He never goes back on his word.

A cowboy always tells the truth.

A cowboy is kind and gentle to small children, old folks, and animals.

A cowboy is free from racial and religious intolerances.

A cowboy is always helpful when someone is in trouble.

A cowboy is always a good worker.

A cowboy respects womanhood, his parents and his nation's laws.

A cowboy is clean about his person in thought, word, and deed.

A cowboy is a Patriot.


My stand on life and living is rather unique in the world of the Internet. You see, we have been bombarded by so many lies, hype and scam on the Internet, that most people shy away from even thinking about building a network marketing business. For me, its a natural process to implement proven methods of search engine optimization to put businesses where people will find it. That is my stock and trade in building businesses. I can feel very good at the end of the day for my upbringing to always tell the truth, and never exaggerate anything about my business. Like the Hamilton Family Legacy site, this will be my life on the Internet for others to read, evaluate and even fill out the form to know more about what I have found to be the most stable business model found on Google today.

Telling people the truth about business, and seeing that they have all the necessary information they need to make a logical choice about becoming a part of it, is my purpose on this site. One will never find a product being promoted, a claim of money making ability, or any of the usual stuff that we see on the Internet. I am not looking for everyone, only for people who can identify with my common goals of operating a business the right way, working hard, and earning a living. The only way to find out what this is will be by filling out the form below each and every post.

If you are a country boy or girl, then my words here will make sense. If you are just another MLM junkie trying to get rich on the Internet for no investment and no work, then I sincerely hope that you will not fill out the form, as I have no time to waste with you!

I am also here to tell the story that a country boy can indeed survive, and even thrive on the Internet today. This should be some excellent news for people who are looking to earn, and are willing to learn how to achieve success. Network marketing is an excellent proven way to achieve that level of success if it is approached diligently, correctly and will full intent and purpose. Come to this ball game willing to spend the rest of your life, and you may just have a good shot at that success!

The Internet

The Internet

The Internet, in today's current economy, is the last bastion of freedom that we all have. It is the last virgin country where we can live and work, without time and corporate restrictions, and where we can all live truly free and independent of the conventional ways of life that used to be the standards for the world.

The Internet is the place where a person still can control their destiny. They can live and work with certain freedoms that are not found in the real time jobs of the world. No wonder that literally millions of new people come to the Internet on a daily basis. And yet, how many of those will become successful with their new found dreams? The Internet is also full of the the lies, the scams, the hype and the misrepresentations that lead people astray to finding their true calling. It is a fact that most information found on Google that talks about starting a successful business model, like a franchise, is full of the non-sensical hype that we all have been subjected to over the years. Having said that, there are real jobs that can be found, and build by using services like search engine optimization techniques and strategies that do work today, and will work far into the future.

The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks, of local to global scope, that are linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries a vast range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents of the World Wide Web (WWW) and the infrastructure to support email.

Most traditional communications media including telephone, music, film, and television are reshaped or redefined by the Internet, giving birth to new services such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and IPTV. Newspaper, book and other print publishing are adapting to Web site technology, or are reshaped into blogging and web feeds. The Internet has enabled or accelerated new forms of human interactions through instant messaging, Internet forums, and social networking. Online shopping has boomed both for major retail outlets and small artisans and traders. Business-to-business and financial services on the Internet affect supply chains across entire industries.

The origins of the Internet reach back to research of the 1960s, commissioned by the United States government in collaboration with private commercial interests to build robust, fault-tolerant, and distributed computer networks. The funding of a new U.S. backbone by the National Science Foundation in the 1980s, as well as private funding for other commercial backbones, led to worldwide participation in the development of new networking technologies, and the merger of many networks. The commercialization of what was by the 1990s an international network resulted in its popularization and incorporation into virtually every aspect of modern human life. As of 2011, more than 2.1 billion people – nearly a third of Earth's population – use the services of the Internet.

It would also be a true statement that the Internet is used by untold millions of people worldwide, few of those people actually understand how to tap into the ebb and flow of the super Internet hiway. One would perceive that it would be a natural process that anyone using the Internet on a daily basis, that eventually they would learn what it really is all about.

Search Engine Optimization Services by Butch Hamilton

Search engine optimization is the art and science of creatively expressing a site to top positions on Google. Building professional profiles for an individual name, or a company name is critical in the game of marketing effectively in the current way that the Internet works. No longer is is valid to continually pump out non-sensical information about getting rich quick, or making money on the Internet with no effort. Real business minded professionals are not looking for that type of promotion, and for very good reason. It is a fact that if the group is not professionally prompting their corporate name on the net, then chances are quite good that no sales will be made at any level.

Search engine optimization is simply the art and science of creating a positive flow of written information, both on sites, and other live submission services, on a regular basis.

Franchise

Original Post Found @ Franchise

In researching franchises on Google, it becomes very apparent that the information is rich, but can be quite confusing as well. It would seem that authority sites listed, like FTC.GOV, do provide needed information and insights about the legalities of franchising. Much of the other information seems to be rather obscure, hard to sift and sort through, and is once again indicative of having to literally wade through tons of bad information, to find the good stuff. It can be seen readily that if one were trying to find out how to start a franchising business of any kind, the sources on the big search engine will require some time, effort and diligence.

Perhaps this is a positive note as any franchise prospect would need to be intelligent, proactive towards their business model, and should be prepared to do whatever is necessary to succeed. Obviously, franchise businesses may not be for everyone who desires to find a job alternative. It takes a special type of individual to make it in business today. The far gone now mom and pop stores of yesterday have been replaced with nationally and internationally branded business models that make it all but impossible to survive in today's dwindling economy.

Building a business takes time, effort and dogged determination to make it succeed. There is no doubt, nor guarantees that buying a franchise will automatically make the person rich, famous and better looking. Most often, the franchise owner will find that they have bought into a real job. Rather than glamorous, this task will include being everything within the business, as well as the mover and shaker to try to get more business to the business. This often leads to frustration and burnout very quickly as is evident by the mass of forgotten building across the US that once housed successful big name franchise models.

A franchise alternative, that is a real franchise alternative business model that offers all the benefits of name branding, worldwide recognition, a stable and lucrative shorter term pay out on cash outlay will be seen by clicking on the links within this article. It is worth the time it takes to listen to an alternative that may solve many of the associated problems with owning a big money game franchise in today's economic times.

Code of Ethics

Original Post Found @ Butch Hamilton

Code of Ethics

In today world on Google, it is reminiscent of a time that the liars, scammers, hype artists and the basically disreputable and unsavory people are found. They are trying to lie, cheat, steal and basically do not good to others, by their techniques and strategies. It is no small wonder that good, honest and hard working people are afraid of anything that deal with the Internet, and that could even include email. The scammers of this world have literally tried to take over nearly all of the good parts of the online world, and make it an evil good for nothing entity. And, by the way, they are doing a good job of it, as even myself, someone who has worked online for many years, is very skeptical when it comes to purchasing something, or finding out more information about something.

It would be very easy to fall into with the no gooders of the Internet. One could choose to lie to others about how much money that they are making. One could choose to take the age old "fake it until you make it" motto. After all, a little white lie hurts no one, right? One could choose to buy leads from lead scrapers who sell those leads to people who use iBuzzpro automated phone dialing systems. People could buy leads and try to call these so-called fresh prospects, only to get some Grandma on the line who just wanted to do something with her time, and found a site where she submitted her email and phone number. After all, Grandma asked for it, right?

Have you ever tried to find out about a job by going online? Well, I can tell you for a fact that if you fill out a contact form for this, you will be literally inundated with phone calls wanting to sell you an education, or a package deal so that you can go find a job! Oh yeah, been personal witness to that scam. That is just as big a scam as filling out the supposed warranty card for that new blender you just bought, thinking that you are doing the right thing. Guess what. You just entered your name, email address and phone number into a huge database, and you will begin getting all kinds of offers you did not want, and did not even ask for!

Is There Any Good Left on Google?

You would begin to wonder, but actually, yes there is. There are many people who work, as I do, run their business right, tell the truth and basically live the right way, even though they work in the mud hole of the universe called the Internet. These hard working and industrious people are busy out there promoting their sites, telling the truth in their articles, and are an actual credits to the Internet world. It is indeed rare; however, to locate these people. You must sift through the garbage to find the good ones!

If you want to know what my basic creed is in life, then I will show you exactly what Butch Hamilton stands for on Google.

The code of the west, as derived from the book, Cowboy Ethics by James P. Owen, and summarized as follows, is the official state code of Wyoming. The code was adopted as Wyoming's State Code on March 3, 2010.

The code includes:

(i) Live each day with courage;

(ii) Take pride in your work;

(iii) Always finish what you start;

(iv) Do what has to be done;

(v) Be tough, but fair;

(vi) When you make a promise, keep it;

(vii) Ride for the brand;

(viii) Talk less, say more;

(ix) Remember that some things are not for sale;

(x) Know where to draw the line.

So, am I a total self proclaimed do gooder who has never done wrong? Hardly! But I can tell you this. I do what I say I will do. I treat all people with respect. I do NOT lie! And, I earn my living on the Internet without making claims, and without jilting people out of their money. That is the bottom line for me.

Can You Say the Same Today?

Veretekk Platinum Control Panel

What Is Holding You Back?

I need to ask this question today concerning the Platinum Control Panel offer that I have been writing about over the last few days. The response has been very good, and as a matter of fact, I only have a very few systems left that I can offer for the low price of $1000 each. Of the people that I have talked with over the phone, some have stated the concern of not having training to follow up on their purchase. I have already informed them that there will indeed, be a specific training room and schedule set up just for PCP owners. We are putting that in motion as I write this email, and I am most assured that all will fall into place on that aspect in the very near future.

One person I received an email from just last night spoke about the fact that they had not been involved with Veretekk because of a time issue with school. They are now ready to come and join the PCP owners and will be able to get started in creating a positive business model using the The Total SEO Package.

A few of the Veretekk subscriber base are sitting, waiting, hoping and praying that something will break through for their business so that they can become involved with the Platinum Control Panel. Sitting and hoping will NOT get the job done here folks. The PCP will ramp up your business to entirely new levels once you begin to understand and utilize that power. It gives anyone the competitive edge for promoting any business.

Let us get one thing straight about Veretekk and the Platinum Control Panel. It is NOT designed just for MLM or network marketing. ANY business can be promoted by full utilization of the powerful and flexible Veretekk system, and the Platinum Control Panel. I have visited with doctors, lawyers, business consultants and all types of other business professionals than are using Veretekk to promote themselves, and their business online. The fact of the matter is that Veretekk is designed for the more mature professional business model than it is for the next greatest pre-launch get in quick business plan that will get anyone rich just for joining. Veretekk is designed by professionals for professionals. Most MLMers will quit simply because they are still looking for the quick buck. It does not happen that way, and never will

I received an email just yesterday from a woman who found me, in the Warrior Forum, and was telling me, in a very excited way, why she had not yet become active in Veretekk. She was just so busy trying to figure out how to promote her business on the Internet that Veretekk simply took too much time. She was involved with many other lead generation programs, and was simply far too busy to explore Veretekk. Its funny to see how some people just cannot see the forest for the trees, right?

Anyway, back to the original question: What Is Holding You Back?

Is it time, money, motivation, apathy, not really believing that this Internet gig works or what?

Time

If your issue is time, then the PCP can be a great time saver for your business. It literally allows the user to control numerous Gold Veretekk systems, once properly setup, in a seamless and time efficient manner.

Money

IF your main issue is money, then simply go to Ebay and start selling your stuff. Sell enough of your worthless so called treasures, so that you can actually buy an asset that will assist you in building an business for the future. $1000 is not that difficult to make with just a little thought and action.

Motivation

If you are like most people today, your motivation may just need a little motivating to get started. Quit thinking that everything will work out ok. Become aware that the only way out of your financial condition, whatever that may be, is YOU! Get started on the right path, before its too late!

Apathy

If apathy, or not caring what is going on around you, is your main issue, then obviously you have not read, or understood my words here this morning. We all have 24 hours in the day to accomplish something positive. Nothing happens here if you do not go to work! Get up, get started and start creating a better life for you and your family. Stop looking for the quick fix get rich quick gig, and begin to understand that it is up to you to succeed! I do not choose to become part of the new cultural apathy. I work, create, think and live to the fullest each and every day. It is my choice, as well as yours, to do the same.

You Really Do Not Believe Fully that This Internet Gig Works?

Well, I can tell you for a fact that it certainly does work. I earn my living from the Internet. Now, notice that I said EARN MY LIVING from the Internet. I am NOT getting rich, but myself, and my family are living well. IT is due to the fact that I work on the Internet each and every day, and do what I love to do best, and that is to write, create, think and grow. When you begin to understand how powerful a motivating factor that this can be in your life, then you too, will get busy today and start using Veretekk, and that Platinum Control Panel to the maximum effort, just as I do. Once again, it is up to you!

Bottom line today is, Watch the Movie and Contact Me to get started with your own Platinum Control Panel. It will be the best thing that you can do for your business, I guarantee it!

Make plans to attend The Warrior Training Course. Today is going to be an exceptional session, as I will be conducting live interactive website analysis for the Veretekk subscribers! It will be a true education into the art and science of search engine optimization using Veretekk!

The Franchise

Original Article Posted @ The Unfranchise

Franchise

Looking back over time, the franchise has been around for many years. That process actually began with the Singer Sawing Machine Opportunity.

In the 1850's the Singer Company produced sewing machines but didn't have enough capital to actually pay their salesmen salaries. Instead, they created a network of dealers. These first franchise owners paid Singer a fee to work in a particular territory and earned money for each sale of a sewing machine they bought from the company and resold. Once again, the fact enters the franchise picture of not having the actual funds to take a new business to maximum proportions leads to the idea of the franchise.

The concept of the actual business owner, and the entrepreneur comes into full play here. People seem to be drawn to entrepreneurship naturally. They often have some funds available, but in order for them to actually grow an original business in today's economy, that simply is not possible for most.

The Entrepreneurial Spirit

It is quite natural for those seeking to live life differently to reach into uncharted waters. The spirit of entrepreneurship provides the spark needed for many to choose the path of the friendship with the franchise. Often times; however, this dream meets with unexpected occurrences. The entrepreneur has really just bought a time demanding job where they become the cook, the maintenance person, the bookkeeper and literally all jobs fall within their very laps. This action will thwart their forward motion, and the excitement of the new franchise business may dwindle over time. The thought of now working 80 or more hours per week, just turned into yet, another job.

Another early franchise opportunity was Coca Cola. When Coca-Cola was originally created, it was only sold as a fountain drink. In 1899 two men obtained a short 600-word contract and the permission to bottle the soda. Thomas and Whitehead soon realized that even though they had a great idea, they couldn't afford to actually create a bottling company. As an alternative, they created a franchise company selling the right to bottle the product to individual bottling plants. I have personally witnessed a Coca Cola franchise in action, and it is my opinion that most people would not have the sand to take a franchise model like this, and see it through to completion. The work is demanding, frustrating and often times just on the brink of disaster. The very thought of living this way would certainly not appeal to the masses.

Franchise 2.0

What is offered at Franchise 2.0 is an alternative to costly, time consuming job oriented conventional franchises. The core of the business model is to acquire customers, for an initial cash outlay, and then start the process of keeping in contact with these customers to grown the business model. Many see Franchise 2.0 as the salvation of the conventional franchise business as the general cash is far below the national average for franchising, the the work is nowhere near as time consuming or demanding.

It is suggested that if one is seriously concerning buying a franchise of any type in today's economic times, go to http://franchisetwo.com and listen to the video presentation. Simply fill out the form for more information, and the interested party will receive some of the best information concerting the service offered, without being inundated with spam email.

Disclaimer: This presentation is not about buying a franchise, but instead provides an alternative solution to costly franchise type business models.

Franchise

Original Article Posted @ The Unfranchise

Franchise

A brief definition of a franchise could be: A form of business organization in which a firm which already has a successful product or service (the franchisor) enters into a continuing contractual relationship with other businesses (franchisees) operating under the franchisor's trade name and usually with the franchisor's guidance, in exchange for a fee. Some of the most popular franchises in the United States include Subway, McDonalds, and 7-Eleven.

In essence buying a franchise would be much like buying a job. As a matter of reference, most franchise owners today are seeing that their exclusive branded franchise can become an 80 hour work week or more. The intuitable cash outlay for most substantial franchise business models could be well in excess of $100,000 or more. By definition, even though the franchise model is exceeding appealing, long term work, effort and strain are needed to see that the business franchise grows for the future. Often times, the period of 5 years or more will be needed to see the business model come into the black.

For our purposes, we offer a franchise solution. One that is proven to work, and is currently being used by other franchise owners as well. They are seeing a return on their money spent, which is well below that of an actual professional franchise, well before the usual five year waiting period.

The company that we promote, we call Franchise 2.0. This highly successful business model is being seen as a welcome relief to many who have chosen to saddle themselves with the burden of owning and growing an expensive and demanding business model.

The Appeal of a Franchise

The initial phase of buying a franchise is the appeal of owning your own business. This can be a most hazardous pursuit if the potential business owner has not done their research and planning on purchasing a business model like this. Simply having the desire and dream to become self employed, is not enough in this demanding job hunt process. One must be ever aware that finding a good franchise, and then establishing that business over time will require huge outlays of time, money, effort and dogged determination.

At Franchise 2.0, we have an alternative that can be considered. To find out more information, simply click any link in this article, and see what we offer.

Veretekk Next Step Guide

People involved with using the Veretekk system will often be confused by the numerous amount of systems that are available within the backoffice. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard the story about Veretekk being so complicated, too hard, too confusing or a million and one excuses for not being able to get started on the right track. Obviously, upline sponsors should take the lead on helping their downlines; however, this is often not the case. It is simply the nature of people who are constantly signing people up into deals, and choosing to walk away.

We at the Veretekk Corporate choose not to run our business that way. This is the express intent and purpose of The Warrior Training Course to give people, at any time of the day or night, 24/7, from any location in the world, to come and listen to the recorded videos, read the text on those videos, find the tools that they need for site promoting, and even find a step by step guide to learning how to use Veretekk.

In that vital need for more substantial inform ration, here are some excellent ways to begin the process. This path has proved successful in many SEO campaigns. It will work today, and in the future as well. The one thing that stands true here is the fact the system given here, must be used, in order to be effective. This is THE place to begin, so pay close attention!

1-Family.com Classified Ads Everyone who has a Gold Veretekk subscription has their own 1-Family Classified Ad System. This is one of the oldest classified ad systems found on the Internet. Posting to 1-Family is one substantial way to begin to learn the art of writing effective articles, keyword specific articles that will get noticed on the search engines. View this video: Classified Ads Here, the step by step guide is given. Follow these guidelines and start posting keyword specific articles, and you will begin to create backlinks, and gain notice on the Internet for your business. The goal should be to create at least 1000 of these content rich articles. You are NOT writing ads, but rather, you are writing good content.

Free-Page.net Each Gold Veretekk subscriber has a Free-Page.net site building system. Likewise, posting keyword specific articles here will increase notoriety and presence on the Internet. View this video: Free Website Builder. The goal should be to create a minimum of 500 Free-Page.net sites. The exposure on the Internet will increase exponentially by accomplishing this task.

This is the place to begin, and by following along the path, and consistently writing more and more content, presence and positions on the Internet will increase exponentially.

Tools

Original Page Found @ The Warrior Training Course

The Warrior Training Course is designed to be a road map for all Veretekk subscribers to use. Obviously, if one is attempting to market goods and services on Google the right way, one is going to need the right tools for the job. Be aware that having the right Internet tools is vital. One cannot build a solid business using free tools. One is going to have to invest into a business in order to get a substantial return on that investment.

Just as adding additional Gold Veretekk systems, or Platinum Control Panels is an investment, there are other tools that one will need to use to do a great job at promoting online effectively.

Below are some tools, both free and paid, that I personally use, and recommend. I use these tools each and every day in my profession, and they are proven to work effectively. Be aware that in the backoffice of any Veretekk system, there are numerous and effective tools listed there as well. Simply go to Veretraining...Training Modules to find those exceptional tools.

Basic Tools

Edit Plus - HTML Editor One of the most used tools that one will ever use in writing HTML content will be found in the EditPlus editor. Never use Word or any other HTML editor, as they ALL put in erroneous code into your live submissions. EditPlus is the ONLY clean code editor to use!

Learn HTML - w3schools.com For those who are new to the whole aspect of marketing websites on Google, it will be necessary to learn basic HTML coding. The w3 Schools site is an exceptionally good place to learn this process. Make it a habit to go and begin to learn how to create clean HTML code and hyperlinks. This is a totally free service, and one that I highly recommend.

Google Keyword Selector Tool - This is an excellent resource to begin to learn the process of choosing effective keywords for online promoting purposes. This is NOT the final authority in learning how to choose keywords, as the process takes a great deal of time to learn to master correctly. This keyword tool should be used as a simple guideline only.


Recording Devices

Original Page Found @ The Warrior Training Course

Become aware that using recording devices to create videos and Audios will be necessary. Though this process should be secondary to the overall aspect of writing and publishing content, using recordings for search engine placement will become more apparent as one moves along in the process. In The Warrior Training Course, there will be, in due time, specific training sessions included on how to record and host your information. Using both audio and video recordings to advertise your business is an element that you will want to add at some point. Below are my personal preferences.

Camtasia by Tech Smith - This recording system is one of the best ones to use. It is a recorder that will require some patience in learning, but the results will be exceptional.

AllCapture by balesio - This is another exceptional screen recording system. It is relatively inexpensive to purchase, and the results found by using it to create video presentations is excellent.

MP3MyMP3 Sound Recorder - This is a great free audio MP3 recorder to use for all types of audio recordings. IT is a free service and offers a way to make recordings for Podcast that will increase notoriety and presence on the Internet for marketing purposes.


Additional Software Downloads

Be aware that downloading software from the Internet can be a risky business. I only recommend using trusted sites to accomplish this. I find that researching and using services like the following will provide a safe environment to download and find the best software to use for online promoting purposes.

Cnet.com - I always find safe and reliable software downloads by using this service. They have a broad range of both free and paid services to use.

Free-mart.net - In Veretekk, there is a great place to find software. Here, you can find the best software for all uses, and often times, outdated programs are still available.


Services

Services are available online for all types of promoting. Most of these are free services, and should be considered for your online promoting needs. Learning how to use the services found below will increase your presence online over time. Each one does take time to learn; however, the results will be excellent once that learning curve is achieved.

Alexa.com - This site rating service should be used each and every day for researching effective sites, and for achieving better results from your own marketing websites. Becoming involved with this social community will increase knowledge, and will also served as a guideline to learn to choose the good business models. Download the Alexa.com toolbar, and begin using it each and every day to research your own site, and others as well. There is an Internet education to be found in learning all there is to know about site implementation and construction.

Add Your URL to Google - This basic site submission tool is used on a regular basis for ALL of your live submitted content. It should become a habit to submit your sites to Google for proper indexing.


There are a few tools and resources that are readily available. I will be adding additional ones along the way, so be sure to come back and check The Warrior Training Course often for updates!

Ezine Articles by Butch Hamilton

Page Found @ Butch Hamilton

Ezine Articles by Butch Hamilton is a content rich site that pulls RSS feeds from numerous other locations on the Internet, including other accomplished authors, and are compiled into one convenient and readable location.

There are many specific reasons for creating a site like this, and it deals directly with my thoughts on Internet Censorship. I feel that most people on the Internet today are totally unaware that their information is in jeopardy if they use third party services such as blogs, forums, press release services, YouTube videos and others. It is a simple fact that if one is building their business on these services, that business is simply built on quicksand. Unless one is dedicated to buying domain names and hosting, then their privileged information can be lost in an instant. After having my information lost forever on numerous occasions, I have decided to never again trust others with my hard earned writing information.

As professional business men and women, we have the option to learn all that there is to know about operating our business, or simply testing the waters to see if we can find the next big pre-launch deal to get rich quick with no effort. For the ones that are willing to work and learn, before they earn, then the path is somewhat rocky, but if fortitude and guts prevail, success will be found.

Take time to visit this site often, as the content is continually changing. Ezine articles are the key to effective promoting on Google.

Butch Hamilton on LinkedIn

Original Post Found @ Butch Hamilton

I would be the first to say that I have never much cared for the term social media. That term conjures up many things for me personally, like the biggest time waster on Google today called Facebook. Cold shivers run up and down my spine when I do login there, which is not that often by the way, and I see the mindless, and mind numbing rhetoric that is posted there so many times that I lose count, and interest, very quickly. YouTube, another of my least favorite social media groups, takes great pride in letting ridiculous nose pickers keep their videos forever; however, for those of us interested in using their exclusive club for things like promoting a business model, heaven forbid! In case the reader has not seen my true thoughts on YouTube, visit the timely video called Internet Censorship, which will tell the actual story about the inner workings of this so called, social media group. Now, we turn our thoughts and perspectives to what I personally believe, is the best social media system that I have seen so far.

LinkedIn

It did take me a while to wrap my head around LinkedIn, but the way that I approach using any site, I take and visualize first, what I wish to accomplish. I check all the different features, and more importantly for my use, I look at the overall performance listed on the search engines for the service. In other words, would I spend my time in using,m posting and promoting this service to others? The answer to this question only comes to me after doing my due diligence and research. I am not, by nature, able to promote something to others that is not real. I only look for value and substance, and this is exactly what I have found within the LinkedIn system.

LinkedIn Groups

I have just started developing some groups within LinkedIn, and I find this a great way to get messages out live on Google where others will find it, and perhaps respond positively. Some of the groups I have started are found below, with a brief explanation of each of them.

Butch Hamiltons Conference Room - In this group, the first one I started, I decided to copy over from my site: Butch Hamiltons Conference Room, some of the same topics of interest that I use there when conducting my search engine optimization training classes for Veretekk. I invited other users to come and share their ideas, and so far, the response has been quite good. The LinkedIn groups are very flexible, and the total appeal for me is that they are incredibly powerful for Google promoting.

What Is a Backlink? - In this LinkedIn Group, I go into the art of creative positive and relevant backlinks for search engine optimization purposes. While I find no really good information, and mostly sales pitches about their importance, I figured to dispel many of the rumors going around the Internet, and actually provide real people with solutions to marketing their businesses. Further reading on this subject is provided on the site: What Is A Backlink?

Search Engine Optimization Training and Mentoring - In this LinkedIn Group, I decided to keep those involved in the automated marketing system called Veretekk, updated with the latest ideas and systems that are available within it. The response from other Veretekk Gold Subscribers has been outstanding, and I am positive in the future, this LinkedIn Group will become very powerful.

All in all, I would rate LinkedIn, on a scale of 1-10, with a definite 10! All the links provided in this article are safe to view, and evaluate.

Veretekk Portal Configuration

The automated marketing system called Veretekk is unique. This system has the power of aged domains sitting on forty two fully configurable lead capture pages, that can be used to promote literally any business found on Google today. The power of aged domains, coupled with the ability to fully configure titles, meta tag descriptions, and then using effective keywords and keyword phrases, simply makes the Veretekk system unlike any other lead generation found on Google today.

Today's video goes into full detail on the setup and configuration of the 1-Family classified ad site. This site, also is known for being the oldest classified ad system found on the Internet today. Literally millions of ads have been placed within this powerful promoting system over the years, and quite simply, the classified ads grow more powerful on a daily basis.

As in a previous session, we talked about the power of How to Create Titles. The title of any page found is where that digital interpretation will go on the Internet.

Consistent use of the portals, or lead capture pages within Veretekk mean added exposure to live submission services leading to increased notoriety and presence for the Gold Veretekk subscriber.

Network Marketing

Original Post Found @ Hamilton Family Legacy

Country Boys Can Survive!

I was listening to Hank Williams song: Country Boy Can Survive, and I thought this would be an excellent way to convey not only my thinking about life in general, but also how it applies precisely to surviving using network marketing as a business model.

The preacher man says it’s the end of time
And the Mississippi River she’s a goin’ dry
The interest is up and the Stock Markets down
And you only get mugged
If you go down town

I live back in the woods, you see
A woman and the kids, and the dogs and me
I got a shotgun rifle and a 4-wheel drive
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

I can plow a field all day long
I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn
We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
Ain’t too many things these ole boys can’t do
We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

Because you can’t starve us out
And you cant makes us run
Cuz we're them old boys raised on shotgun
And we say grace and we say Ma’am
And if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn

We came from the West Virginia coalmines
And the Rocky Mountains and the and the western skies
And we can skin a buck; we can run a trot-line
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

I had a good friend in New York City
He never called me by my name, just hillbilly
My grandpa taught me how to live off the land
And his taught him to be a businessman
He used to send me pictures of the Broadway nights
And I’d send him some homemade wine

But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife
For 43 dollars my friend lost his life
Id love to spit some beechnut in that dudes eyes
And shoot him with my old 45
Cause a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

Cause you can’t starve us out and you can’t make us run
Cuz we're them old boys raised on shotgun
And we say grace and we say Ma’am
And if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn

We’re from North California and south Alabam
And little towns all around this land
And we can skin a buck; we can run a trot-line
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive


The fact is, I am a country boy, born and raised in the country. I am a natural born survivor of things that would make modern man shake and shimmer all over. I have been down the rocky and hard road in my life, and yet, I have been able to build a powerful network marketing business by following a few simple rules and guidelines.

I believe that the Cowboy Code of Ethics fits perfectly here:

A cowboy never takes unfair advantage - even of an enemy.

A cowboy never betrays a trust. He never goes back on his word.

A cowboy always tells the truth.

A cowboy is kind and gentle to small children, old folks, and animals.

A cowboy is free from racial and religious intolerances.

A cowboy is always helpful when someone is in trouble.

A cowboy is always a good worker.

A cowboy respects womanhood, his parents and his nation's laws.

A cowboy is clean about his person in thought, word, and deed.

A cowboy is a Patriot.


My stand on life and living is rather unique in the world of the Internet. You see, we have been bombarded by so many lies, hype and scam on the Internet, that most people shy away from even thinking about building a network marketing business. For me, its a natural process to implement proven methods of search engine optimization to put businesses where people will find it. That is my stock and trade in building businesses. I can feel very good at the end of the day for my upbringing to always tell the truth, and never exaggerate anything about my business. Like the Hamilton Family Legacy site, this will be my life on the Internet for others to read, evaluate and even fill out the form to know more about what I have found to be the most stable business model found on Google today.

Telling people the truth about business, and seeing that they have all the necessary information they need to make a logical choice about becoming a part of it, is my purpose on this site. One will never find a product being promoted, a claim of money making ability, or any of the usual stuff that we see on the Internet. I am not looking for everyone, only for people who can identify with my common goals of operating a business the right way, working hard, and earning a living. The only way to find out what this is will be by filling out the form below each and every post.

If you are a country boy or girl, then my words here will make sense. If you are just another MLM junkie trying to get rich on the Internet for no investment and no work, then I sincerely hope that you will not fill out the form, as I have no time to waste with you!

I am also here to tell the story that a country boy can indeed survive, and even thrive on the Internet today. This should be some excellent news for people who are looking to earn, and are willing to learn how to achieve success. Network marketing is an excellent proven way to achieve that level of success if it is approached diligently, correctly and will full intent and purpose. Come to this ball game willing to spend the rest of your life, and you may just have a good shot at that success!

Cultural Apathy

Original Post Found @ Hamilton Family Legacy

Cultural Apathy

I am seeing a new trend in the USA, and that is one of total and undeniable cultural apathy. No matter where one goes, or to whom one speaks, there seems to be a cloud of apathy that hangs thick over the culture today. As a people, we have been systematically striped of the good old American Dream, the dream that made this country what it is today, and made us an apathetic, entitlement rich culture where most are content to stand by and just watch, hope and pray that things will get better. Daily, we do not make much effort towards building a sound financial future, rather a good part of the people are looking to the Government, as a solution to the problems that we face economically today.

This is very apparent in the national airports where once, the makes dominated the baggage handling jobs, and now, young females have taken over many positions. The young modern male is not going to work unless they can start out right out of the gate making over $100K per year. Young women seem to be making the move to take the jobs, earn the living and basically have set themselves as the new leaders in the world. This is a good indicator of our modern culture. We are not going to move and shake, rather we are content to sit and idly think that things will get better. We are not willing to stand up and take charge any longer.

The Hamilton Family Legacy site is a representation of what can be accomplished in terms of building a stable and sound business by tapping into the ebb and flow of Google, to get the message across to people that a business can indeed be built today, that will provide a sound financial future for our families by becoming part of a sound and stable business model. We do earn our living via the Internet, and we know that it does take work, effort, determination and a never quit attitude. While most people in the world look dimly on work from home business models, we know for a fact, after earning our living for many years here, it is a good and positive role model for others to follow.

If one does visit the Hamilton Family Legacy site, one will take note that no product, service, get rich quick scheme or scam is mentioned, nor ever will be. We know that most people are totally turned off by that aspect, and if they really think about it, the old, once effective, get rich quick type of advertising seen on Google today, has not ever worked, and never will. We are dedicated to showing others the way to a true entrepreneurial based network marketing business that is working today, and will continue to do nothing buy grow for the fu
