This article is a bit different, not about liquid vitamins, GBG, home-based business or network marketing, but it is pertinent to taking care of health.

Only today we will be taking care of someone else’s health

Are you constantly finding yourself stressed out with the trials and challenges of just living life?

Speaking of stress, do you have any one person that you care for, or several, and if so, does your stress carry over into their lives, causing them a level of discomfort?

I have a favorite saying, “Life gets in the way of Living.”

I have a question. Have you provided something as simple as your Will in case you meet an unfortunate circumstance. Yeah I know, people would rather avoid this uncomfortable conversation.

The reason I ask and how I tie this into a Health article is this: No matter

how hard we work at taking care of our health, things happen.

I wrote an article a year or so ago that was well received so I thought I would

revisit the premise, with a slightly different twist.

Stress is one of the most pervasive causes of illness and even death in the United States today. It comes in all forms.

If you have an early departure from the planet for any reason and you have not taken care of something as simple as your Will … imagine the stress you will cause your loved one(s).

Thing is, this happens all the time. I’ve seen it time and again.

I guess the moral is this. One of our last acts should be to look out for our loved ones and concern ourselves with reducing their stress level when they are already mourning our departure.

Invest some time and complete at least a Simple Will. Get your affairs in order, as they say.

I’m sure you’d much rather know your loved one is taken care of and left to deal with a minimum amount of hassle.

By the way, if you don’t have a Will, the good ole’ government has a Will in place for you.

The government WILL be more than happy to take control of your finances, or your children, even if you left relatives behind and assumed they would automatically gain control.

Imagine the stress that a government intervention would cause your child or mom or grandmother if suddenly they were thrust into the fray.

On a final note, there are websites that give good Will, so to speak. Just type Will Preparation, Last Will and Testament or something like that in the search engine of your choice.

Ok, that’s it for today. Let’s look out for our loved ones. It’s just the right

thing to do.

Thanks for reading. Hope you are having a very prosperous life.

Till Next Time,

So What’s The Problem?

For starters, unhealthy diets are the problem. We know big juicy, greasy, cheeseburgers, hamburgers French-fries etc., taste great and we know intellectually that they are not ‘good’ for our overall health.

But we cram them down and finish them off with a big slug of sugar, known affectionately as ‘soft’ drinks. I guess they’re ‘soft’ because they go down easily.

We know from research that if we apply the ‘Slight Edge’ theory taught by Jeff Olson, over the years there is a good chance that we might clog an artery or two with our choice of diet.

The Solution: Simple, but Hard to Do

Daily exercise and consuming balanced portions of fresh fruit, vegetables and fish is the key to a healthy diet; simple, but hard to do. And I am willing to wager someone out there can show me, backed by statistics, why fresh fruits and vegetables are not good for us. Their opinion, their right.

About Me

I am a 60 year young, Baby Boomer, lived an active lifestyle in California, retired after a 30+ year career and moved east. After retiring it became clear I would need extra income.  I moved to the rural south and opened a retail business. Oops! Wrong idea!

Stress Made Me Do It

With a few years of business challenges, lack of exercise, less than stellar eating habits and poor nutrition, I was not in the best physical condition.  I was stressed!

I had invested my life in activities like weight training, baseball, running, racquetball, skating … something all the time.

Suddenly, overnight, actually it was after 3 years of Slight Edge inactivity, I gained 35 pounds; none of it muscle.

What finally got my attention was I went back to ‘Cali’ for a visit and my friends kept telling me I looked ‘good’, ’settled’ and worst of all … ‘healthy’.

Ouch! I had run from looking ‘healthy’ since I was 16.  An uncle had drilled it into me that if someone said I looked ‘healthy’, I was overweight … by a lot.

Wake-up Call

After all of the well-meaning compliments I knew I had to do something.

Having been athletic my answer was simple. I needed to get back to exercising, cut down calories, eat the proper food groups and augment my diet with vitamins and supplements; Simple, but hard to do.

It is now 10 months later. I’ve lost over 35 pounds.  (was up to 40, but got cocky)

Now clothes that were destined for charity fit again, and I’m having pants taken in at the waist. I feel great!

My vitamin of choice: GBG Liquid Vitamins. 

One cap-full meets my daily nutritional needs, curbs afternoon snack attacks and has substantially increased my energy. 

I don’t always sleep 8 hours but still wake up energized.  My higher energy level lasts all day, not like some of the ‘instant’ energy drinks where I zoom up and careen back down within an hour.

An added benefit is more focus and concentration, specifically on my business.

That in a nutshell is why I am passionate about and share the benefits of GBG with my entire family.  We know it is important to eat a healthy diet and exercise, but life gets in the way of living.

That is why I choose to balance my diet with supplements.

But that is my opinion and my right.

Opinions Are Like (A… fill in the blank …S) Every-Body Has One

And I am no different.

Today I’m writing about why I take vitamins. I’m going to journal the next year or so about becoming healthier through nutrition, exercise, rest and whatever else comes up that works for me.

A CreateVitality Newsletter subscriber sent me an article a few days ago that almost ticked me off … almost.

Then I remembered a few words of wisdom a friend at work blessed me with over 25 years ago.

As usual I was going on, probably railing, about the latest discoveries in my book of the moment; discoveries that were going to ’set me free financially’. She constantly made it clear that she had absolutely no desire to be ’set free.’

But since she was in the cubicle next to mine she was a captive audience with no way to escape.

There’s no doubt in my mind that my conversation was an attempt on my part to ‘convince’ her to come over to my way of thinking. For months I had accosted her with every single method to wealth and riches that had come to my attention.

At last I finally wore her down because she sighed. That was my interpretation.

As I opened my mouth to ramp it up again, she sighed again and said something that was so profound it gave me entry into the minds of many.

She taught me in a few words that what I thought was great wasn’t necessarily meaningful to everyone within earshot.

Exasperated, she said, “Dammit Dillon! There’s a book written for every $@%!#& who knows how to read!”

Ouch! I was stunned into silence … just what she no doubt desired. That day I learned a lesson. Everyone has an opinion and it is their right.

Having said all that, in the article I received Monday the author went on and on, with statistics to back up his opinion, about how nutritional supplements are useless; a waste of time and money. And for him that’s cool.

Of course, I beg to differ and I am going strictly on how I feel after using a liquid multi-vitamin for the past 10 months.  

This is Not a Sales Pitch

Most people consider the preceding statement the beginning of an elaborate sales pitch, geared toward stripping their wallets of content. Well, it’s not.

I don’t really need tell you what you already know; how we all need the proper mix of vitamins and nutrients to live a healthy life style; because we’ve been constantly bombarded with that information forever.

If you decide to take vitamins or supplements, mine or someone else’s, it won’t be because you read one article. It will be because you did your research and found what works best for you, like I did. It may not even be vitamins and supplements, but that is why we research.

Why Do I take Vitamins?

Just as the author had his ‘proof’ that supplements are useless, there are many legitimate, scientific reasons why you should consider adding vitamins as a supplement to your normal diet; the proverbial ‘book for everyone.’

But that is not why I take vitamins and supplements. I take vitamins because since I began this regimen 10 months ago, I have lost 35 pounds; I have much more energy; I’m more alert; I have Vitality!

In any event I go by how I feel and I feel great. That being said I will tell you in the next article why I choose GBG Liquid Multi-Vitamins.

What I do know is this is the one company, finally, that works for me.

It has natural health related products that consumers NEED at prices they can afford;

In my opinion it has top rated customer service and leadership that will catapult it to the top of the network marketing heap within a short amount of time.

The company I am talking about, the company that I joined after suffering several disappointments, is GBG.

Based out of Vacaville, California, GBG already has many success stories, but there will be many more.

In GBG the average person as well as the network marketing guru has the same opportunity for success.

With GBG’s copyrighted pay plan the network marketing superstars can easily make 100K a month, but at the same time the average person can just as easily increase their monthly income by 500 to 1000 dollars per month.

That is why I joined. I asked myself; would 500 or a thousand dollars make a big difference to my finances within the next month? Of course my answer was yes.

All that being said, it is now up to you to make a decision.

How badly do you want to change your circumstance?

How SOON do you want to change your situation?

If you don’t make that decision, as you know, one will be made for you.

My mentor says all the time, “To not make a decision is actually making a decision.”

If you are a procrastinator, like I once was, look at it this way. I chose to procrastinate on procrastinating. In other words I put off procrastinating. This is what worked for me.

It can work for you too.

This is not an expensive proposition for you to explore.

Our founder has been in network marketing for a long time and he insists on making it affordable for everyone.

This GBG opportunity can be yours for only 19 dollars and 95 cents a month plus shipping which is around 10 dollars, more or less depending on where you live.

So for around $30.00 on our monthly auto-ship program, you will purchase a product that we all need, a liquid vitamin.

With that monthly purchase you can start your own home based business.

That’s it.

The business is free. The marketing website is free. The weekly education that’s provided is free.

You don’t have overhead like renting a store-front. No employee expenses, no products to warehouse. It’s a win-win.

Now if you choose to join our team, you will have access to several tools that will make your job easier.

Earlier I mentioned that I am Finally proud of the fact that I am a network marketer.

Well it’s because I found this company, GBG. I feel that this company is not about hype, but is about what is right.

Hopefully something I said got your attention.

Hopefully you will take your future in your hands and go to my site at http://liquidvitaminsonline.net to check us out.

This is the exact same site that you will get when you sign up with us, only yours is personalized specifically for you.

I think once you explore my site, you will begin to see the benefit of joining us on your way to success.

Well, my time’s up for today. I want to thank you for reading; I hope I’ve said something that helps.

Till next time,

To Good Health and Success, Live Well

Many network marketing companies are not set up with the little guy in mind; the person who has never owned a business or has any clue of how to begin.

Those companies are geared toward successful network marketers who understand the dynamics of network marketing. They’ve been around the block, so to speak.

Many of them usually have teams in place from years of doing business and just shift those team members from one company into another, making a ton of money along the way.

The usual hype in the weekly meeting is ANYONE can have the same success in a short amount of time.

The truth is the majority of network marketers, in their entire career with one company, will recruit 1 to 4 people into their team, usually family members and friends. That’s it.

When they have to go outside of their comfort zone, they falter, fade away and eventually quit.

That is why so many (97%) have failed in this business. They were destined to failure before they even signed up.

The big boys and girls know this. The superstars. They know it is a numbers game. They know the majority will quit within months, but their teams are so large they usually won’t feel the pain of a few who quit.

But it does not have to be that way. There are companies out here that are sensitive to the needs of the little guy who has a burning desire to succeed.

Remember what I said in the beginning? Now is a great time to get into this business.

Jobs are falling by the wayside;

Company executives who don’t have the guts of a man like Donald Trump have actually come up with less offensive names for the word Fired.

Now-a-days people are being downsized, right-sized, outsized and capsized.

If you are not aware of the problems in our nation’s economy, you probably don’t need a job or a business. You’re probably already independently wealthy.

This is for those of us who want and need a change; a change in our finances; a change in our lifestyle; a change in our attitude.

Our president constantly tells us, it’s time for change. Well Its time for us to listen; and not just listen; its time for us to ACT.

Many of us now are looking for an opportunity to make more money; to gain wealth. 

Some of us have already found one. I’m not going to try to tell you that mine is the best; I’m not that well-versed in all of the available network marketing opportunities out there.

There are literally thousands and I’d be less than truthful if I said I know for a fact that mine is the best. But if you would like to investigate the company I highly recommend, go to my website at http://LiquidVitaminsOnline.net and watch the informative videos. I think you’ll be pleased.

Hello again, and welcome back. I hope you will bear with me.

Today’s article is going to be in three parts. I’m going to talk about why I’m finally proud to say I am an Internet Marketer. It was not always this way.

I also want to talk about why right now is one of the better times to get involved with a network marketing opportunity.

Yeah, I know, some people just stopped reading, saying, “I’ve heard it all before.” If that’s the case, so be it. This industry is not for everyone.

When many people hear about a network marketing so-called opportunity, they immediately conjure up thoughts about the entire industry, usually negative thoughts.

These are people who heard the stories, or rather lies, of how much money could be made, how they would be rich by a week from Tuesday and their financial problems would be solved

They would hurriedly join, not have a clue of what to do, have no real guidance because of the way most network marketing companies are structured, find out it was all a pipe-dream, and quit within months if not weeks.

And let’s be realistic, most people do initially join a network marketing company, because plain and simply, they need more money; not because they get so caught up in the great products or services that they just HAVE to tell everyone about.

Then there’s the other negative. The people who have covered the entire industry, all network marketing companies, under what they mistakenly call a pyramid, or better yet a pyramid SCHEME! I guess adding the word scheme makes it more sinister to the folks who are uneducated about what a

REAL network marketing company is. A company that is legitimate, from the ground up.

A legitimate network marketing opportunity is by far not a pyramid scheme.

Most of the negativity though, comes from people who have joined network marketing companies, and for many different reasons they have failed miserably.

Some lost money because they had to purchase goods that ended up in the back of their closet or stacked in the garage, because they were directly competing with big box discount retailers.

Some lost friends and family members because they chased them down and figuratively beat them over the head with their great product or service until they gave up and bought in to the plan, only to quit the first chance they got.

I’m speaking from experience here. I did it just like that; just like I was taught. I went for the hype because I was naïve. My friends hated to see me coming.

I don’t need to go on and on about the negatives because there are as many horror stories as there are people who have failed at the business.

I’m sure you’ve heard a few your self.

The Truth is Out

Below is an email concerning network marketing that my up-line sent out to his staff back in May 2007.

He was seeking input from them and answers to an ongoing problem that was not readily shared with the rest of us when we were recruited.

I’m not sure if he crafted the letter, he was known to copy and paste (would that be…plagiarize?) entire articles.

Thing is, he sent it out to some of his down-line by mistake. I was a happy recipient and wrote back to tell him so. Applauded him for being honest. The accolades followed by, what could we do as a team to improve the situation.

By Design or by Accident?

He never responded and actively avoided me at meetings, didn’t return phone calls, etc., so I’ll go out on a limb and assume it was by accident that I got a copy.

At the time I received the misdirected email I was seeking a method of operation that would work for my particular mind-set.

I had no intention of quitting the business, just modifying my recruiting and sales techniques; something more in keeping with my demeanor. No single technique works for all networkers because we all have different personalities.

In his words here is the letter in its entirety minus his name and email address.

*Many Networkers ask why the media and NW detractors pick on the 95% drop-out rate of our industry, when ‘everyone else’ has big failure rates too…

Yes, other businesses also have big failure rates. But here’s why we’re a favorite target:

In every recruiting presentation, we sell, hard, three things (and end with a question)

• 1) how easy and simple it is to make money
• 2) how anyone can do it
• 3) how everyone does network marketing every day when we recommend movies and restaurants
• 4) What could be easier than doing that and getting paid for it?

In thousands of hotel rooms and other locales across the USA each week, that’s the pitch; those are the promises.

When it turns out most people (95%+) fail to make anything, and actually lose money instead, what do you expect?

(Of) those 95% who believed, 1 out of 3 are distraught, their families are upset and their friends ridicule them for having been ’suckered in’ by one of those network marketing things.

And the beat goes on. Every day across the USA, in hundreds of opportunity meetings, recruiters pitch this same BS over and over. And with this same deceptive pitch, they continue to sucker in ever more people who have no idea what it takes to get a business like this off the ground, and who, like everyone else, are eager to earn extra money or a quick way to wealth.

It takes a lot more to get a small-business venture off the ground than an inspiring hotel presentation.

But in our industry, the leaders and presenters all deny it with the pitches they continue to foist on unsuspecting and naive folks. When 95% fail and lose money, and have been for the last 20+ years, how else do you expect others to react?

There you have it; in his words

This man is by all appearances extremely successful in his network marketing niche. What’s funny to me is he never changed his ‘pitch’ when conducting meetings. Up until the time I quit the company he continued to feed the prospects, in his words, ‘this same BS over and over.’

Well, I eventually left the company, but was grateful for the lessons I had learned. I still use the product I just don’t market it.

And I found my niche as far as my own marketing technique. I am happy and content with my method of operation. It is built on honesty, a great company and needed products.

What I had found immediately before his email erupted onto the scene was the teachings of a respected network marketer. I sent him the information, but as I said, no response. His old method works for him but it does nothing for me.

Recently I have received emails asking what company I represent. The answer is … more than one. I am a network marketer. Today, however, I am writing about the company that really straightened out my direction. GBG.

I was fortunate to have a great friend recommend this company to me when I was in the midst of being seriously disillusioned by my last company. I knew network marketing was a concept that I believed in, but the company was lacking.

Times are Hard

Are you among the hundreds of thousands of people struggling to stay afloat financially? There’s no mistaking it; Jobs and opportunities are scarce and people are desperate for an answer.

If you are serious about stepping up to better your lifestyle, you have the answer in front of you.

Some will take advantage, most will not. Most will see this as just another network marketing scam. But then again those who are not in network marketing don’t have a clue as to the benefits of the industry.

Try to tell a successful network marketer that his or her industry doesn’t work. You probably won’t get much of a response because they already know most just don’t get it. They won’t waste their precious time trying to convince you because they know there are people out there who will join the ranks and have far more success than they ever dreamed.

That is who we seek out. If you are self-motivated, determined to succeed, keep reading.

If you are one to research, do it. Due diligence? Do it. You owe it to yourself to dig in and check out this network marketing business, the products, the ownership, all of that.

Is this your year for financial freedom? Did you make resolutions that you will keep or have they fallen by the wayside already?

If you have a burning desire to improve your lifestyle, assist your family members and friends when they need it or whatever your “why” is, you owe it to yourself to check out our company.

The March issue of the Network Marketing Business Journal talks about how GBG is different from any other multi-level marketing company in the industry.

GBG is being touted as the best opportunity with the lowest risk in the network marketing business.

Many network marketing companies have initial sign-up fees for hundreds of dollars, a pay plan designed where only the top 5% of the company make substantial income, and products that are so grossly marked up only the representatives themselves purchase the product! That isn’t the case with GBG

Why do I Believe GBG is Different?

Because a GBG Business is exactly what many people are looking for; people who know they have the intelligence to succeed, just need the right company to succeed with.

The GBG Advantage

• Our founder, Stuart Finger, is a man of great integrity
• There are no start-up costs to join the business
• Our website is free
• Our products are sensibly priced
• Our pay plan is copyrighted

Many companies state the same things…’We’re the Best!’…Forget all the rest!…’ Well I’m saying it too. But I have proof to back it up.

You now have the option and opportunity to enjoy the benefits of maximizing health and maximizing wealth by working online or offline.

So take a minute and read the article in the March 2009 issue of the Network Marketing Business Journal. Once you do you may see the benefits of joining me in this business. If you want more information from me on how to market this or any business online contact me.

January Was National Eye Care Month

How long has it been since your last eye exam?

If you’re like me it has probably been awhile. I’m way overdue. Looking back, I used to have my eyes examined every other year, then I retired. Suddenly it has been 5 years since my last exam.

Depending on your age group the American Optometric Association has established exam intervals.

Beginning with your children, they advise an initial exam when they turn 6 months of age, then schedule regular exams every two years beginning at age 3.

If you are an adult between the ages of 18 and 40 the recommendation is to have your eyes examined every 2 to 3 years.  If you are between 41 and 60, AOA recommends an exam every 2 years. After the age of 61 you should get an exam every year.

There are exceptions to every rule however. If you have a medical condition such as diabetes or high blood pressure, etc., ask your doctor to suggest an interval specific to your condition.

You should consult a qualified doctor, one who can diagnose an eye disease and give advice about treatment based on the risks and benefits of each.

Most of us have heard of common conditions such as glaucoma, but I know from experience that it is absolutely amazing what an eye exam can reveal concerning your health.

Hope this article gives you some insight as to how often we should focus on our eyesight. The miracle of sight is precious and we should treat it as such.

If it’s been a while since you last had an eye exam, now might be a good time to schedule one. I just did.

Till next time, take care.
