Start A Business Today?

You would be out of your mind to start a business in today's economy. With the economic uncertainty that lies ahead and the unemployment as high as it is, I have to question why anyone would start a business today. Could it be because unemployment is so high that people start their own business? A lot of people become consultants in their respective field, but who are they consulting? It is no secret that the economic outlook is dismal at best.

I have some friends that started a retail business and another one is opening a restaurant. The money to start businesses like these is not cheap. You have rents, equipment, insurance, payroll, inventory, utilities and the list goes on. You have a great deal invested before you even open the doors and in this economy? These are brave souls that have one thing in common....passion for what they believe in. However, passion can get you so far with a lot of money on the line.

The other challenges you face in opening your own business is the skill to run a business. There are a lot of people that come out of corporate America and believe they have the skills to run their own business. The truth is that running your own business is more than selling a product or good service. If you know how to bake pies and your good at it doesn't mean you know how to deal with suppliers and employees. There is so much involved in running a business and I know because I'm a partner in a small business. We have been in business for 10 years and have faced many challenges and basically learned on the fly. I wouldn't recommend that today especially if you have your nest egg on the line.

There is, however, another alternative to starting your own business with a low investment and it is a growing industry called Network Marketing. So many people don't view this as a legitimate alternative and yet there are people making fantastic money and creating time freedom without having to have the skills of running a conventional business. This is, according to Robert Kiyosaki, as the "Business of The 21st Century." He is the guy that wrote, "Rich Dad Poor Dad" which has sold over 25 million copies throughout the world. In the book he describes the benefits of this industry and how it teaches you real world business skills that you will never find in your 9-5 job. If you want to start a business today with minimal investment and risk then I would highly recommend the Network Marketing industry. The first thing you must do is find what you are passionate about. Don't get involved with a company because they tell you can make a lot of money in a short amount of time. I'm here to tell you that is not going to happen. Find a company that is ethical, has great products, an excellent management team, a great culture and a vision besides making money.

There are companies out there and I found one that has everything I was looking for. Isagenix has provided me with everything I need to become successful in this industry which includes the products, training, management team and culture. When you surround yourself with like minded people who want to make a difference in the world of health you have a powerful environment. An environment you can thrive in. This company may be right for you and then again it may not be, but if you are serious about starting your own business with little investment then I suggest you check it out.

If You Only Knew...

I was doing some research tonight about some of the things that are coming in the very near future. Please remember my blog is called the "Wellness Revolution". I called it that because it is my firm belief that we are entering a time that will define the future. I know there is a lot of things happening in the world today,but I'm not talking about politics or the middle east or the Presidential race. I'm talking about something very big that will affect every person on planet earth. If you are aware of these things you will be able to profit from this knowledge. The people that turn it away will be very sorry they did.

O.K., so back to my research about the industry that will create a paradigm shift in the world. I read about small molecule medicine that will change medicine as we know it. These are "small bombs" that zero in on specific ailments and diseases. The technology is here and will be coming on the market soon. Imagine an injection of one of these small molecules to cure cancer or repair the liver, kidney or cardiovascular disease. They have a product that will stop someone from smoking and the list goes on and on. This is not science fiction, but reality.

Drugs like these are going to change the world and health care as we know it, but as I have been posting here so will companies like Isagenix. Isagenix uses no chemicals in its products and provides an alternative to our current food supply. I don't think most people truly understand what is happening in this country regarding food. I know that I have told you that our food supply is bankrupt of nutrition and it is filled with pollutants, but there is one thing that no one talks about and that is the cost of food.

I believe most people in this country can't even fathom the hyper inflation that is looming because they know that it could never happen in this country. Over the last year we have seen food prices go up and luckily they have stabilized, but this is just the beginning. I would recommend that everyone begin to prepare for prices going through the roof. Isagenix has provided me an alternative to our current food supply by creating a complete nutritional system that can actual sustain me day after day. It isn't fancy with loads of comfort like you are used to, but then again if you are used to that type of food then you will have a hard time adjusting to an alternative system.

You can begin slowly by using the shake and cleanse system. The"Isalean shake" is the world's most perfect food. It is a crime to call it a shake, but that is the form it comes in. This isn't any shake that you can get at a health food store or the market. It contains the essential building blocks to optimize your health and satisfy your cravings. Did I mention that it costs less than $3.00 per meal? Then cleanse the toxins out of your body with "Cleanse For Life". With these two products you can begin the process of changing the way you look at food and start on the road to better health at a lower cost. Within a short time you will be able to make the leap to more Isagenix products and a better alternative to rising food prices. Don't wait until it is too late...START NOW!

Method Of Distribution

Throughout the last 70 years as America has grown so has the methods of distribution for all goods and services. I'm too young to remember the ice man and the milk man coming to my house to deliver our goods.  I do however, remember my doctor making a house call when I was about 8 years old. That was in 1965 and the memory of that is still pretty vivid.

Over the years there have been many gains in the methods of distribution such as mega warehouses strategically placed throughout the US. Years ago companies like Sears had a huge business with their catalogues and many retailers followed their lead. How about the auto industry? When you walked into a car dealership you usually didn't drive a new car off the lot because you ordered it the way you wanted it. That's right, you would design the car you wanted and then the manufacturer would build it to your specifications.

All of these methods have gone through many years of redevelopment and now you find that the Internet has become an efficient way of distribution. The other way of distribution is through word of mouth. How many times have you heard the phrase, "Word of mouth is the most powerful form of advertising." The reason is because it is. When you tell a friend about a great movie you just saw that is powerful because you have credibility with your friend. So now the friend goes to see the movie and loves it and the next thing they do is to tell one of their friends. Now the distributor of that movie loves word of mouth because they don't have to pay anyone for referring the movie to anyone. The downside for the distributor is that they spend millions on advertising and unless they get good reviews no word of mouth on the planet is going to help them. So what just happened? They spent millions on advertising and did very little at the box office because the movie wasn't very good.

If word of mouth is the most powerful form of advertising then why does the Network Marketing industry get such a bad rap? After all, the company doesn't have to spend millions on advertising to people that have no interest in their product. They pay their distributors instead of paying for advertising and it is more targeted. They get more bang for their buck. Doesn't that make sense? Network Marketing is the future method of distribution in this country because it is efficient and it can provide more to an individual than money. It can help a person with entrepreneurial skills and real world business experience. This method can create individual economies so people are not dependent on the government or anyone for their survival.

Don't be left behind in this fast paced method of distribution. Find a company that you can get passionate about  and then go to work. This business of Network Marketing is not easy or everyone would be doing it. Stay ahead of the curve and understand the trends that we are facing as a society. Wellness will be leading the way and that is why I chose Isagenix. If living healthier and longer is your passion then I would love to speak with you. If it isn't your thing that is o.k., just find what you like and get involved.

Environment Of Growth

If you analyze successful people you have to take into consideration their environment. Successful people surround themselves in a positive environment. That is what makes them successful. It would be difficult to achieve your goals in a negative one. Could you do it? Yes, but it will take you much longer.

What I'm trying to say is get rid of your negative environment. If you can't get rid of a negative influence in your own household then you must be strong to your conviction. You will have to overcome any negative messages or thoughts that are put out there. I know that is easier said than done, but it is a MUST.

The reason I'm so adamant about this is because a negative environment is more powerful then a positive one. What I mean by that is once you allow the slightest negative thought to enter your mind it will wipe out all the positive thoughts that were trying to break through. I mean the smallest thought can have a HUGE effect on your outcome. If your ultimate goal is to move forward in your life and create the life that you always dreamed of, then you cannot have any negative thoughts.

For most people that would seem impossible. Every person on the planet has negative thoughts at one time or another. How is it possible not to have a negative thought? One way is to become aware of your thoughts. That may sound stupid, but it is not. Once you become aware of negative thoughts then you are in a better position to do something about them. You can then change your thought process to a positive one. Again, this is not the easiest thing in the world to do, but if you master it you will find yourself getting closer to your goals every day.

Once you create this environment in yourself then it will be much easier for you to control the negative thoughts that surround you on a daily basis. You can then move into a healthy positive environment which will lead you to your dreams. Make the positive environment the dominate one in your life and watch what happens. You life will change because you were able to overcome the biggest obstacle you have ever faced...switching from a negative environment to a positive one. As you are expanding and growing as a person your environment is growing as well. They go hand in hand and the sooner you realize that the sooner you will enter an environment of growth.

Product B Is Working

I began my journey with Product B on May 24th, 2011 when it wasn't even released to the general public. I was one of about 5,000 people that was fortunate enough to try the product before it launched in August of this year. The dosage I was taking at that time was like a baby aspirin compared to extra strength. I am now taking a dosage that is about 6 times the strength of the original product.

What I have found is that my hair is not as gray as it was when I began taking the product. The other things I noticed was that my skin has become smoother and more elastic. I look younger than I did and I feel better, but I have to point out one thing. I feel better because I'm taking care of my body by using the Isagenix products in conjunction with Product B.

When they said that Product B is not a stand alone product they weren't kidding. Product B is the missing link to better health when using it as part of a complete system. I can't begin to tell you how incredible I feel since I have changed my eating habits. Removing the toxins from my body so my organs can function as they were intended. Now when I put nutrients in my body they can be absorbed instead of blocked by all the crap that is in the way.

I will never go off of Product B for several reasons, but the main one is because of the science behind it. If you truly understand what this product is doing inside your body then why wouldn't you take it? It is helping support your telomeres which has a great deal to do with aging. It is all natural and it WORKS! Isagenix is already in the works on the next generation of Product B. What that means is they are going to increase the strength of the product. It is currently at 36% and when it reaches 100% that is when the aging process stops. The next step is to get the strength over 100% which would mean it will reverse the aging process.

I know this sounds like science fiction, but it is very real and the beginning of the Wellness Revolution. Isagenix is not stopping here because they are constantly in development of the next great discovery and I believe they already have found it. Product B is just the first of many amazing biotech products that will be developed by Isagenix. If you would like to try Product B then please contact me. If you would like to market this product then don't wait too long because the time is now. Get in before your best friend comes up to you and asks you if you have ever heard of Product B. Isagenix is where Microsoft was when Bill Gates worked out of his garage. Isagenix is a ten year old company that is just BEGINNING!!

Two Birds With One Stone

As we become a society of efficiency our lives are governed by time. Having the time to do everything we want  and enjoying life to the fullest. A funny thing happened on the way to enjoying life and it's called "LIFE". That's right, as we move toward that ultimate goal of happiness we encounter challenges along the way. Have you ever encountered challenges along the way?

Of course, the first thing you must say to yourself is, "It's not what happens to you, it is how you react to what happens to you". If you have never heard that before please take note and trust me when I tell you that it is TRUE! If you can make it through all of these challenges then you have the right attitude. My dad used to tell me all the time that, "ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING." I know it sounds like a cliche, but it really is true. If you have any doubts then I suggest you give it a try.

I believe you have to find out what your passionate about and then just go for it. I don't really care what it is as long as it is legal and it makes you happy. I am going through an expansion as we speak because I'm moving in the direction of my passion. If you're new to the blog you will soon learn that my passion is helping people improve their quality of life through proper nutrition, cleansing and youthful aging. I have finally taken responsibility for my health and it has made a tremendous difference in my life. I want to pass that on to others as well.

I get so excited about the products I sometimes can't understand why others don't want to feel the way I do. I think it has a lot to do with how they feel about themselves. For a lot of people they feel comfortable the way they are and maybe just don't have the strength to change their lives. I so often hear people say, "What's the use, I'm gonna die anyway. I might as well enjoy myself." This disturbs me greatly.

Life is so precious, why not live your life with meaning and purpose. Everyone of us has a choice of the foods that we put into our mouths. I choose to put quality super foods in my body and it is paying off. I feel like I'm in my 20's again. I get to do what I love and receive compensation for helping others do the same. I get to kill two birds with one stone...if you know what I mean. If you care about your health then please take a look at Isagenix. It is a complete system that provides your body with 5 pillars of health. It is never too late to start!!

Is It FDA Approved?

If you are in a company that sells supplements or vitamins then I'm sure you have been asked the question, "Is it FDA approved"? I always love that question because it demonstrates to me that most people are brainwashed into thinking that the FDA is there to protect them. The FDA is an agency that is in business to protect big pharma.

On the surface they look like they are doing everything they can to protect our well being. When you start digging down you get a different picture that is not so nice. Sure they make companies go through the FDA testing ritual and can make companies wait years before a product is approved, but I don't believe they are logical.

How many times have we heard that the FDA is going after the Network Marketing industry and trying to shut them down because their products are not approved. That is when I scratch my head and and try to make sense of that. I'm not going to speak about other companies because I don't know how every company formulates their products, but I do know that Isagenix uses NO CHEMICALS at all in their products. This is where it confuses me because it would seem that the FDA is trying to regulate natural ingredients. I could understand if the products contained harmful chemicals, but these products are botanicals.

The FDA has approved many DRUGS that have turned out not to be so good for you and yet they allowed the manufacturer to produce the product for consumption. One comes to mind called "Vioxx". This drug was approved by the FDA and it has since caused deaths and has been pulled from the shelves. Now, you didn't have to ask if it was FDA approved because your doctor was prescribing it. I heard a statistic that 300 people a day die from legalized medications. Do you want to guess how many people die from botanicals? ZERO!!

If you are in the Network Marketing industry and your company sells vitamins and supplements then don't feel bad if someone asks you if it is FDA approved because the FDA doesn't have to approve of something that grows out of the earth. If you do some research you will find that so much good can be derived from natural ingredients instead of drugs that have chemicals in them. There is study after study on the positive effects of someone taking natural plant based foods. High doses of vitamin C have had tremendous results with cancer patients, but you don't hear about that from the FDA. Remember there is no money in healthy alternatives.

I'm hoping that more and more people will find natural alternatives instead of ingesting chemicals to heal themselves. After all, when life began there were no chemicals to keep someone alive. They just had what the man upstairs provided to heal themselves and it happened to be ALL natural. Don't be afraid to tell someone that your product is not FDA approved. If that turns them off then just let them go because they would rather trust the FDA than products that are from the earth.
