Did I Mention Early Screening is the Key?

Also in September 2004 there was a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine. After interviewing over 67,000 men over the age of 65 it was determined that black men were 35% less likely than white men to be tested for PSA (prostate-specific antigen)

The fact is Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death by cancer among men in the U.S. We black men are at a much higher risk of premature death caused by prostate cancer, so we are the group who should benefit the most from PSA screening.

There are myriad reasons why black men hesitate to get screened. We don’t have medical coverage insurance; we lack the personal finances to pay for tests; we don’t have or seek out the educational knowledge; medicaid is not always the answer because some of us do not qualify for assistance.

In 2004 the American Cancer Society estimated that nearly 30,000 men would die from the disease and that 230,000 cases of prostate cancer would be diagnosed. We are now five years down the road and the numbers are not much better.

Granted, the prostate cancer mortality rate for blacks has declined somewhat during the last ten years, but it is still more than double the rate for other races.

It has been noted that younger black men have begun to be diagnosed with the disease at a much earlier age, so the need for testing is even more of a necessity.

Maybe with the new administration in the White House the plight of the less fortunate will gain more attention.

Meanwhile there are clinics in most states that provide testing for free or for a nominal fee. I Googled ‘Free Prostate Cancer Screening’ and found Zero – The Project To End Prostate Cancer.

I also found an excellent site today. This site caused me to go ahead and post this article. She provides a lot of good information and links to even more. http://www.a1prostatecancertips.com/

We Baby Boomers have entered our retirement years; an era of which many of us are totally unprepared.

Even though a majority of us have reached retirement age, or are being forced out of our jobs early, we still need to supplement our income.

Downsized, Rightsized, Capsized; these are names companies use to soften the word fired. Many of us have been dismissed by companies that promised to ‘take care of us’ if we worked for 30+ years.

While we should be relaxing in the sunshine of our ‘Golden Years’ some are looking for new employment, wondering if they will ever enjoy any semblance of retirement.

I live in a state where generations of hardworking families worked for textile mills that have shut down or moved out of state.

Now what do these people do?

Many have resorted to competing with teens for a minimum wage. That’s fine if what you want is another J.O.B. (Just Over Broke).

Many who worked for thirty years, worried about bills, had too much month at the end of the money and lived with the reality that we were one check away from desperation. Trust me, I’ve been there.

There is a Solution to Underemployment

As Baby Boomers we have been known to ‘fix it’ when a challenge comes along and I have found a way to ‘fix’ my lack of finances.

Within the last three years I have totally changed professions. I am now a Network Marketer.

I just lost some readers because Network Marketing is not for everyone, but I truly believe in this industry. Unfortunately some people with no knowledge of the profession prejudge and miss an opportunity for financial freedom.

It takes being open to new information. You’re still reading so you understand that.

When it comes to Network Marketing many of us have a bad taste in our mouth. Some Network Marketer may have botched a presentation, made lofty promises, or left us hanging after we signed on with him.

Maybe we joined a disreputable company, lost a lot of money and vowed ‘never again.’ There are many reasons Network Marketing has a negative image. Those reasons have kept us from exploring a perfectly legitimate profession and that’s a big mistake.

Find the Right Company …

… and the right mentor and you can achieve your dreams, even those that have been put on hold.

My aim is to provide Boomers and others the direction to achieve their financial and natural health goals, allowing them to be financially independent within a few years by applying basic techniques.

I’m not going to lie and claim Network Marketing is ‘Get Rich Quick’ or for everyone, but if you feel it may be for you, I urge you to check it out.

Today I’m writing to Baby Boomers specifically, but this profession is perfect for anyone in any age group.

Thanks for investing your time to read this article. Hope it gives you something to think about. If I said something that helped you, click on the RSS icons and share it with others.

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.

Are you, like me, finding yourself flat-out frustrated while attempting to make a living with network marketing? We see the benefits, the dream, the many so-called Gurus making tons of money, yet we are not accomplishing the success we desire.

First let me state, this information does not apply to everyone. Some successful Network Marketers will probably take offense. Hope not. It is not my intent to offend, as much as it is to figure out for myself a workable plan.

I’ve only been back in network marketing for about four years so I consider myself somewhat of a newbie. I have a lot to learn. My prior experience didn’t pan out, so I stayed with corporate employment for 30 years. Afterwards I retired but I was not old enough or rich enough to stay retired. Besides retirement was boring.

I rediscovered network marketing a few years back and got excited about the potential for financial success that was dangled in my face.

Fast forward to today and it has become apparent that in the last four years I’ve run up against many well-disguised barriers. Having met the challenges of these multiple barriers I’ve formed a disturbing point of view which I’ve discussed with many marketers, seasoned and newbies like myself.

I’ve had some successes; not as much as I intend to by a long shot. But I believe wholeheartedly in network marketing and I’ll never stop learning this profession.

In my studies I’ve come to realize something is not right for my way of thinking. Here is my opinion, and I truly hope it helps you in your decision making. Many network marketers agree with me and I suppose many will disagree, but that is the beauty of the business. We can agree to disagree.

What Exactly Is Network Marketing?

Plain and simple, network marketing is selling; selling by word of mouth, historically to one person at a time.

Why Do So Many Network Marketers Fail?

The fact is many of us in the field of Network Marketing or Multi-Level Marketing have been subjected to  an outright pack of lies, or at the minimum, half-truths.

We’ve been told such lies as ‘there is no selling involved’… there is. We are told it is not hard work. It is. We are told the products sell themselves. They don’t …and on and on and on.

Have We Been Lied To? Yes, but …

Either inadvertently or by design some of us have not been told the whole truth when it comes to our profession. I’ve been guilty of spreading some of the same lies as well because that’s the information I was taught.

In my case my up-line didn’t know any better himself. There are sincere leaders in our field, like my former immediate up-line, who believed in lifting people up, guiding them, and reveling in their successes, but they still teach the old way of thinking, like he did with me.

He had good intentions, they were just misguided. He taught me what he had been taught. If I had paid   closer attention I would have realized he was, shall I say, lacking success. Like I said before, I have learned a lot in four years.

Times (and Network Marketing) Have Changed

Evolution and change is natural. We did not all come from the same mold. As the saying goes, ‘different  strokes for different folks.’ Methods that work for an extrovert will not work for an introvert, etc., but we’re taught the same methods.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying we should totally abandon the old ways because some of those   methods work fine, just don’t hesitate to add new methods when they fit your way of thinking.

My bet is you have what it takes to be successful in Network Marketing. There are so many different  avenues of self expression in this industry, there has to be one that fits your personality.

What I’m saying is don’t give up on your dream. Keep an open mind, mix some old school thinking with the new and come up with your own method of operation. There are now many workable programs offered by sincere experts that will enable you to combine several methods into one cohesive plan.

You just have to pick a few that work with the way you think.

Once you find the person or persons you want to emulate, lock into their teachings until you grasp their principles and put them successfully to work for you. Don’t confuse the issue by jumping from one ‘Guru’ to the next. There will always be the next latest greatest. After you have the principles down and they are working for you on a consistent basis, then you might consider adding to your networking arsenal.

From my recent experience I find if you do that, and work within your comfort zone in the beginning,your excitement, knowledge and confidence will build. Once you get your bearings success will follow.

The information at this CreateVitality link is what salvaged my network marketing career. It won’t meet everyone’s parameters but it did mine. If you have an open mind, maybe it will help you as well.

Did you plan to be where you are in your business life?

Everyday people make the decision to start an online home-based business, because more people are looking for and making purchases on the internet.

Who made the decision for you?

Have you achieved the goals you set when you first toyed with making a living online? What happened? Are you the conqueror or the conquered?

Life is strictly about choices. Are you living the life you choose, or the life that’s been chosen FOR you? Are you ready to quit?

EXTRA!!! Flag Poles Challenge Flag at every turn.

Does your life feel like a flag on a pole? Do you feel all tangled, unable to flow, swaying uncontrollably in the wind? Stretching west, straining east, waving north or south…Who’s making your decisions?

Your Life is Your Fault … or Choice

So is your business’s success. Is your business taking off like a rocket, or is it stuck in … indecision? You are where you are in business because of your thoughts and the actions you have taken, positive or negative.

Is your life what you thought it would be? If not, who planned it? Who set forces into action to reach this pinnacle? Where you stand in life right now is where you are, good or bad. But that’s not a negative.

Think about it

Every decision you’ve made was within the stimulus of the moment. You did what was best at the moment, and those decisions deposited you into this moment.

If in hindsight the decisions were wrong…so what? You didn’t know until after the fact. Analyze quickly, tweak it, and make a new decision.

Undecided …Hmmm … let me think about it

The recent presidential election was an excellent example. The ‘Undecided’ got a lot of press and even celebrity for their well-honed knack of … indecision.

There are still ‘undecideds’ but, NEWSFLASH!!! It’s over. If you don’t make a decision, someone will make it for you. Take too long to make a decision and …

… Poof !! Time’s up

Undecided used to mean more information was needed. In this new age it means we are dealing with information overload. Even so, somebody has to make a decision. Why not you?

People have lost life-changing opportunities because they needed to ‘think about it’, or needed ‘time to mull it over.’

Andrew Carnegie timed people when he asked them to make a decision. If it was not made in a specific time frame known only to Mr. Carnegie, the person was eliminated from any opportunity. Some got rich, but many more ended up broke with no clue as to how close they had come to greatness.

Do you think leaders today might do the same?

Digest available information; make a decision; make a choice. Be swift with your decision making. Only change your decision when it’s proven unworthy.

Channel your decisions

Make a decision and when the nay-sayers say nay; keep your eye on your prize Do whatever it takes to reach your goals.

I didn’t originate this but a wise person said:

‘Don’t complain about your life and say there’s nothing you can do, for anything you choose in life will surely come to you.’ Author Unknown.

What is your decision today concerning your online Network Marketing business? Are you a true Network Marketer? Will you make the calls, send the emails, join the forums, or quit?

Till next time, as always, thanks for reading.
