Healthy Life Wealthy Living

Are you serious? Did you just really ask me if I’m robbing from God?

Yep, I did.

What’s up?

Allow me to explain.

Truth is this is not for everyone because not everyone believes they are supposed to be wealthy in the first place. Most are stuck in survival mode and think their only hope is to get another job. Very few have an understanding of their obligation to use their gifts and talents to make a lot of money.

Obligation?

Yeah, you heard me…obligation.

How’s that?

Well it’s like this if you understand that the special gifts and talents you have been given are from God then you probably also understand that He gave you those for a purpose…His purpose.

God expects you to use the gifts and talents He gave you to create wealth so that you can live blessed to be a blessing. Your desire to make a ton of money is not all wrapped up in ‘lust’ for material things as some people might be accusing you of.

Oh yeah, we know those people. The ones who preach how wrong it is to make money and you’re just a greed filled mongrel if you even hint that you want to be rich.

But they are wrong.

God ‘does’ want you to be rich…and I mean stinkin’ filthy rich. In His Word, you will find many accounts of God using prosperous and I mean ‘very’ prosperous businessmen and women to carry out His assignments and purpose. The purpose behind their being wealthy was not just to meet the needs of that individual but to carry out God’s assignment, in essence, advance the Kingdom through the resources they been given.

Let’s face it wealth opens doors of opportunity, puts you in front of people, give you influence and a voice that otherwise you would not have. Take Oprah for example, if she was not a successful business woman and a billionaire…no on would give her the time of day. But because of her wealth she has influence and boy does she have it. Right or wrong, good or bad, the people with the money have the most influence and opportunities.

We would probably agree that most Hollywood actors and actresses are some of the most messed up people we’ve ever laid eyes on but they are given utmost respect and give special treatment and seats of honor why? Because they have the money…honey.

Now let’s talk about you and that desire you have within you to be wealthy. You probably have encircled around you people who would try to discourage that desire heck they even try to make you feel like a terrible person because you have the dreams and visions you have.

So what do you do?

You find people who are like-minded and you take your cues from them. You pursue what you know has been placed inside you and go after those dreams and visions to the death. No matter what the obstacles and broke Uncle Fred is not really an obstacle. He’s just being used as a distractor and discourager and most people won’t get past that.

It’s time to put the blinders on and get laser focused on your dream. God has a special assignment just for you that He needs for you to complete. Did you ever stop to think there are people and even animals waiting for you to step into your place of destiny?

When we allow the hardships and challenges and even negative people to keep us from moving forward then we are not only delaying our victory but others as well. When you don’t operate in your gifts and talents you are robbing God of being able to accomplish thru you what He placed you here to accomplish and ultimately it robs Him of the glory He would have received through you.

So today let me encourage you whether your dream is to work from home, have a multi-million dollar online internet business, have a brick and mortar business, whatever it is. Follow that passion and dream all the way to the end.

What about the naysayers?

Forget them.

God is waiting on you…now go for it!

Ya’ll Be Blessed!

In an effort to save your time and not waste mine let’s just put it all out on the table shall we? I mean if that fact is gonna scare you off then you should turn and run screaming like a little girl right now. :O)

The fact is just the fact…Network Marketing ‘is’ a pyramid thing.

And am I glad!

Yep, there I said it.

And boy did that feel good!

Now for those brave souls who remain let’s get down to business…shall we?  Not long ago you went online searching for a way to make money from home. Only you know what drove you to sit down that day and begin to search for a home based business opportunity. Perhaps you just wanted extra cash. More than likely you’ve been hit, like so many these days, with a job loss or increasing debt load. Most assuredly you were serious when you began your investigation, which lead you to the Direct Sales Industry.

Also known as Network Marketing it is pyramid like in its income earning design which for you and me, my friend, is a good thing.

I want to take a quick moment to address this issue because it comes up ALL the freakin’ time in this industry. Personally, I think it’s time we stopped ‘beating the dead horse’ and moved on.

This ‘it’s a pyramid thing’ is a lame excuse people who do not know anything about this industry use when they are too afraid to give it a try or to lazy to learn the truth. I mean if you’ve been around this industry for more than five minutes you’ve heard someone in your circle of influence, who is probably broke by the way, rant about ‘the pyramid thing.’

Why is that a good thing?

Well I’m glad you asked.

Let’s see, first we have a company that develops above average products. They decide to utilize individuals, that would be you and me, to market their products versus the traditional marketing avenues like television, radio, newspaper, or magazines.

How does this work?

Well, first you are introduced to this company and invited to try their products. If you do so and become basically a Preferred or loyal Customer the company will then pay you if you introduce and refer others to try their products. Some call preferred/loyal customers distributors or associates but it all means the same thing.

These companies go beyond just paying you a simple one time commission. Compensation plans vary like the sands of the sea shore but at the end of the day the ‘more’ people you invite and subsequently become Preferred or Loyal Customers the more the company will pay you!

And there’s more!

They will even pay you for the people that you referred that refer people. Thus the more people under you out inviting and introducing others the more money flows up to you thus the pyramid!

Ain’t it great!

Now in all fairness are there Network Marketing Scams out there? Of course, there are but there are scams in every industry in the world. Don’t believe me. Just think of the industry you currently work in any scams ever popped up there?

Thought so.

Now this is just a crash course in the lie that is circulating relative to Network Marketing and The Pyramid Thing. But it is something you must get over if you are ever going to have a successful mlm business and make some serious money from home.

To help you understand the legitimate business of Network Marketing, Direct Sales, Multi-Level Marketing or whatever you call it, watch the Network Marketing Vido by clicking the tab above and see what Warren Buffet calls the best investment he ever made. Now you think this guy knows a little something about what makes a good business?

Oh and about the company that I’m inviting you to look and become a loyal customer…yeah…it’s been around for over 18 years paying ordinary people like you, extraordinary amounts of cash. The company and products are impeccable so what are you waiting for?

Yep, it’s a pyramid thing.

Yeah!!! :O)

Watch the video…get with me…I’m waiting for you.

Ya’ll Be Blessed!

Through Young Living Essential OIls, Gary Young is making it possible to realize uncommon health thru common scents!

I had long heard that essential oils have ‘intelligence’ and that they go where they need to go, especially when applied to the reflex points on the feet via Vita Flex or during Raindrop. Well, I’m a ‘prove-it-to-me’ kind of person, so until I experienced it for myself, and saw it in a Raindrop client, I was skeptical.

My first ‘proof’ was during my Raindrop training. My neck had been aching off and on for weeks due to herniated cervical discs. My partner was applying the oils to my spinal reflex points on my feet, and doing Vita Flex. She had not touched my back or neck yet. I noticed my neck was getting hot right where that ache was. The oils were already going right where the problem was!!

My second ‘proof’ was just yesterday as I was doing a Raindrop for a client. When we talked afterwards, she told me that she could feel the oils ‘going to’ her jaw and ‘loosening’ her TMJ!! Yes, the oils really do go where they need to go and do what God designed them to do!

There is no way to describe what just took place here today. We’ll just have to go back and recap thru replay…what a stunner…I’m still in shock!

“Folks this has been a season of all seasons. Team Harris has taken a beating the likes of which we’ve never seen before and somehow has managed to make it into today’s final game…in spite of the broken bones, bruises and discouragement…somehow they have made it.”

“Well Jim, that’s true but all of that pales in comparison to what we’re witnessing here right now.”

“For those watching in we have now gone into double over time in what has been one of the hardest fought battles on the field I have ever seen in all my years. The crowd is hysterical as the teams line up for this final drive.”

“Team Harris has the ball…there’s no time left on the clock.”

“Jim, hold up there’s been a time out called by Sj.”

“What is she doing?”

“This is no time to switch things up.”

“Oh my, she has called for the special ball to be used in this final play! No way…not that…yes indeed folks she has requested a special ball be brought out!”

“What’s this? Can a player even do that Jim, is this even legal?”

“Well, by the time the refs figure it out this game will be over.”

“Here we go folks both teams lined up head to head…you could hear a pin drop as thousands watch to see what Harris is about to do next…all eyes are on her right now.”

“The ball is snapped…Sj drops back…she’s fixed her gaze on a player down field…wait a minute…who is this guy? It seems the coach for the other team has slipped in a player for the last play.”

“Zoom in who is he?”

“This guy’s name is Mortemer Shner…apparently an old boyfriend of Sj’s…and she’s got him in a deadlock…this is her opportunity to get him.”

“This is insane…if she throws the ball to him her team loses…why would she do that?”

“Because she knows if she gives him the ball he’s going down and to see him take that kind of hit is worth the gamble I guess.”

“This is simply unbelievable…after all Team Harris has been thru it appears Sj is about to give this game away!”

“There it goes…I’ve never seen a more perfectly thrown ball….the crowd is in stunned silence as it appears she has thrown this mysterious ball straight to Shner!”

“And he’s ready…look Jim…he’s celebrating already.”

“Just look at the stunned faces of her family. They cannot believe this is happening…what a sad day for her husband, daughter and grandbabies.”

“Yeah…but you know sometimes this game of life is just so hard and the need to get back is so strong…”

“Time seems to have stood still as this ball seems to be moving in slow motion as it spirals in perfect formation right for this player…my…my…my.”

“I hate to interrupt but hold on …a player has just come out of no where and stepped into the end zone…He’s wide open…who is this guy?”

“This just continues to be crazy…zoom in on him…what is this…where did He come from.”

“I don’t know Jim…his jersey reads: I AM…who is this…look him up…hurry!”

“All we know is that He seems to be showing up on rosters everywhere.”

“Look…look Shner has his hands up…and…and…oh my gosh…the ball seems to have just passed right thru his hands…there it goes…there is goes…right into the hands of this I AM…whoever He is!”

“Oh my Lord! Oh my Lord! I’ve never seen anything like this…”

“The refs indicate it is indeed a TD for Team Harris…folks this game is over! The crowd is going absolutely crazy! Harris’s family rushes to her side…it’s total meyham!”

“But wait…what’s she doing now? Where is she going?”

“Jim…I don’t know but after the touchdown…she took a nod from this I AM and now she’s running down the field straight toward Shner who is in utter shock at what just happened!”

“What is she going to do?”

“I don’t know maybe she’s gonna finish what she started earlier…she’s running toward him arms open…wait…she stopped just shy of what we thought would surely be a bloody tackle…she has put her arms around him…and folks to our amazement she just mouthed the words…I forgive you!”

“Oh my this just keeps going…I’ve never seen anything like it.”

“Jim, it appears the player who just caught the winning ball has waved off reporters…He walked to the back field and has picked up something and is walking off the field…as we zoom in…what is that?”

“I don’t know in all this craziness and excitement but it strangely resembles a cross…we’ll have to review the tapes later.”

“Someone is running toward Sj with the winning ball…what’s the deal with that ball…zoom in on that it has something written on it…what does it say?”

“Jim, it has written on it…MY POWER”

“Oh my…Sj was about to give all her power over to Shner but in a stunning turn of events…she has just pulled off a victory that will go down in history…all eyes are on this player today for sure…this will not be forgotten in a long time.”

“What are the first words that could possibly come out of this player’s mouth today…let’s listen in…”

“Simply amazing.”

“I don’t know whose coaching this team this year but it appears that Sj has made some amazing strides.”

“We have just obtained some video footage of Sj in training…let’s check it out as the celebration continues on the field…”

“Well folks you have just witnessed the defeat of the season for Team Inferno…Team Harris is going out on top for sure!”

“Any idea what happened to Shner?”

“Oops look like somebody made a late hit.”

Amazing…simply amazing!!!

Not long ago I found myself interested in a particular health product. I was especially interested in it for my mother who is a lung cancer survivor and who I thought could benefit from it.

So I set out to get some information on this product and I found myself on a website looking around.

Then something interesting happened. I got an email from the owner of that site thanking me for stopping by to visit. She gave me some brief information and instructed me to let her know how she could be of further assistance.

I responded, via email, that I did have some specific questions relative to their products and I proceeded to ask those questions.

To my delight I got a quick response, via email, with the answers to my questions. I soon realized that this company was also a home based network marketing company but my area of interest was for their products only.

But that didn’t matter.

I showed an interest in the products and Jan answered those promptly always ending with the offer to assist me in anyway she could. She even included how much it would cost to purchase a membership so I could get the products at the best price without my having to commit to talking with her first.

What a shocker?

Again, I had more questions and again, she responded to those questions promptly with attachments and any other information she felt would help me. Still, no push to get me on the phone or harass me into joining her in the business.

I have decided what to get for my mother and although I have not made the first purchase yet I can assure you I ‘will’ do business with Jan.

Why?

Because she met me where I wanted to be met. I felt no pressure from her to buy her products only answers to my questions. I believe had I been interested in securing a position and promoting her company I could have done so without having to commit to a phone call.

That is what I’m offering you.

I know that you have desires to improve your life and I’ll bet truth be known that would be both physically AND financially. Most people today are in just as big a physical deficit as financial.

Recently, I decided to secure a position alongside Dr. Robin to promote Green Organics International. I did that because  this company is unique both in the product and opportunity category. You can learn all about both by clicking on the Green Organics tab above.

What I’m NOT going to do is go into a long rendition about all our products and how effective they are. Nor will I hammer you with information about our strategies to help get you to a $10K month.

Would $10,000 a month be beneficial to you in ‘any’ way?

Thought so.

What if you could just take a couple capsules a day and between now and next Christmas be potentially 50 to 100 pounds lighter without having to join a program or drink shakes or eat foreign foods?

Cool huh?

Do we have all that?

Yes…

When will we talk about those strategies?

When you’re ready.

Ya’ll Be Blessed!

Ever feel like you were part of the Silence of the MLM Lambs? Yeah I said, it and I know that as a network marketing veteran you know exactly what I’m talking about.

Since I know this subject is taboo and most do not want to openly admit they’ve been down this path I’ll just break the ice by using myself as the example…but I’ll bet you can relate.

Some time ago I came to this industry with big dreams and even bigger needs…to make money.

I was perfectly willing to work for that money but I was NOT prepared for what happened next.

I searched around and did my ‘due diligence’ whatever that really means and after a couple conversations and presentations…I decide to give it a go.

My husband and I drove an hour one way, into parts of Georgia we did not know existed, we were herded into a room with the other unsuspecting lambs and were instructed to… “Make a list of friends and family and carry it around with you like it’s a Bible.”  ”And don’t forget the mail man and your hair dresser!”

I’m new to this whole mlm gig and green as grass so in obedience and believing for the absolute best we did as we were told.

Then armed with our list and our new Distributor Kit we headed out to the first family event, excited about all the new sign ups we were gonna have by the end of the day. 

We walked into the family gathering like lambs led to the slaughter…head up…chest out…pumped.

We came out the other side battered, beaten, bloody pulps!

What just happened?

I did not even know it was possible to take rejection to that level!!! I felt like I was the biggest idiot/failure in the whole world. I mean the person standing in the front of the room told me that my family would be eager to join this with me because they would want to support me.

Really?

My sisters chewed me up and spit me out like a hot pepper.

Imagine my surprise when I hear my ‘upline’ standing in the back of the room after the next meeting saying, “I don’t make no list of friends and family. I’ll never talk to my friends and family.”

What?

I was in shock. My brain is still reeling from the massive, gapping wounds and without even acknowledging or explaining what I just experienced I’m now told about something called the 3 foot rule.

I’m told to load up the trunk of my car with products then go out into the public acting like a regular shopper. Then when I get within three feet of that woman in the toilet paper isle I’m to strike up a conversation and lure her out to the parking lot where I’m to do an impromptu demo of my wonderful products.

I’m told that IF I want this bad enough I will endure the pain of rejection and the smirks of humiliation without whining or complaining.

That was our last trip into the bowels of Georgia.

Not willing to give up we do some more ‘research’ and find some other folks who swear they do things differently. We hook up and in no time flat we’re instructed that we now do home parties. Yep, we’re gonna go out and invite total strangers to come into our home so we can convince them that they want to do the same thing.

Ain’t happenin…

Oh, and did I mention EVENTS? I’m gonna be ‘really’ honest here and tell you that I still cannot figure out what compels these people to stand on their chairs to watch what’s going on like they are at a rock concert. So in my delusion I raise my hand to voice my lack of understanding of the ‘thrill’ of it and I’m informed that the ‘lifeblood’ of my business was events and if I did not attend every event this company has then I’m a scum sucker and I really don’t want it that bad!

Been there…done that…next!

We connect with some seemingly nice folks who are, according to their testimony, knocking down some serious dough. So we hook up and soon I learn…

I’m gonna become an mlm telemarketer?

Oh joy of joys!

I am instructed to take this list of 5000, what were they called penny leads, and that on the other end I ‘will’ find people who are going to be eager to do business with me…and help me get my income to gangsta levels in no time.

I’m told I will endure this like the cross for myself, my family, heck even my country! That I will not complain and I will commit to making at least 200 dials a day.

When I raise my hand to voice my frustrations about how tough this is I’m told that I must just not want this bad enough. “And exactly how many dials did you do yesterday?”

“Where’s your dial sheet that you were told to complete everyday?”

“You don’t have your numbers?”

“Ladies and gentlemen this is a prime example of someone who says they want more out of life but have obviously proven they do not.”

Okay so…next!

I swore off mlm for a day or two until I realized that it probably was my only real way out of this ditch I’m in. So hoping against hope I venture tentively back out online looking for someone, anyone who can show me a better way. 

By this time some savvy network marketers have been playing around online enough to learn how to generate leads for themselves. They have so many leads coming in their businesses are skyrocketing and they have people approaching them to share what they are doing. So one by one they put together a system for anywhere from $49 to $4,999 and they promise it will teach me to do exactly what they’re doing and I will NEVER have to call another lead again.

I’m in.

So for the next level of punishment I buy every network marketing mlm-online-internet marketing course that comes out. All of them seem to be steering me toward things like placing free ads on Craigslist and telling me that if I write and submit 852 articles to Ezine Articles then soon I’ll be generating leads as fast as they are.

It ain’t happenin…what’s up?

But then as I’m sitting in on my 1000th webinar listening to one of these gurus tell his testimony of how he got started…he accidently lets something slip…the truth. Come to find out he didn’t get started posting hundreds of ads, illegally, I might add on Craigslist nor did he write and post hundreds of articles. He got a coop together and between him and a couple buddies managed to scrap up $8k and started advertising on Google.

What?

I could name names here and you would recognize ALL of them and I’d probably get some good search engine ranking out of it…but I won’t. Suffice it to say, they are spending tens of thousands, some hundreds of thousands a month on online advertising, hiring copywriters, ghostwriters, assistants to make calls for them, writing books, selling info products and leading me, like the lamb, to Craigslist where I’m gonna get shut down for trying to post to many freakin’ ads!

It’s time for an intervention.

So my husband and sons gather around to tell me that it’s time to give up. They just cannot bear to watch me suffer any longer. But something strange has happened during the course of the past four years. In spite of it ALL I find that I love this industry and the people I’ve met along the way. And I’ve learned a few things. I mean I actually understood that html was not Greek or Hebrew for hamster!

However difficult I agree with them that it is time to lay the poor lamb to rest. Surely, I’ve endured about all that is humanly possible and I announce to those I’m closest too that it is finished.

 The days that followed were tough. I nearly broke out in hives as I watched email after email drop in my inbox with announcements of the latest product launch and webinar.

I resist temptation.

Now we are people of faith and I told God that IF He did have any plan for me to do this mlm thing that He would have show me the evidence that He was in it or I would not be…ever…again.

So I’m minding my own business and my best online friend tells me she’s taking this new product and I’m wishing her well with it and the opportunity not thinking anything of it. Then she reports how good she feels and how she’s not craving sweets or eating late at night. Then others are reporting some impressive weight loss numbers and their losing this weight fairly quick. One lady reports that she has not had a migraine since starting on her GO Slim. Hmmm…interesting…but I continue to resist.

I decided to buy some product just for myself. In the meantime she’s telling me that the founder of this new company Green Organics is an online network marketer who has been wildly successful and has always only built his business online. The kicker is…

…he’s blind and without hearing aids almost completely deaf!

Okay so I got my products and immediately my energy level was noticably different and for someone with Fibromyalgia that is NOT a little deal. Then I find out after talking casually with a couple other friends that they have decided to ‘join’ me in the business.

What the heck?

I’m not even in the business yet!

In everything else I’ve tried to do I have NEVER had an organization building under me BEFORE I actually joined up myself! My best friend casually reminds me that I did ask for a ‘sign’ from above.

So here we go, off to the races again. Only this time I all but vowed it will be different and so far it has been. The founders of Green Organics International are a group of network marketers who have been there done that themselves. They wanted to create something that would extend a real chance to those who have been slaughtered by this industry but who still want it to work.

I invite all the Lambs to check out Green Organics International and then connect with me to learn more about how we are changing things up.

I can promise you this. I’m not making a list and I won’t ask you to make one either. I’m not telling nobody on my Christmas list and should you partner with me I will advise you not to as well. It’s time to take the pressure off yourself and your future partners. Let’s make a commitment to have some fun while we make some serious money and let’s do it with excellence and integrity telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth along the way.

The Lambs live again…:O)

Ya’ll Be Blessed!
