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.

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.

Till next time,

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.

Till Next Time,

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.

Success is a Life Style – Live Well,
