Have you ever thought about this … What do successful cooks and successful networkers have in common? Most people can make a Caesar Salad or lasagna is they have a recipe to follow. Why is it that most networkers (to the tune of 95%) are not as successful as they would like to be?

The answer is … They don’t have a recipe to follow! Most new Internet network marketers are told to build a list and write compelling email messages to drive prospects to their website. That’s like trying to follow a recipe that tells you to first combine noodles, cheese & sauce and then cook it. How many attempts would it take you to cook a great lasagna following that recipe?

icon_success_bar_chart_3d [lang_en]Recipe For Internet Marketing Success[/lang_en][lang_de]Recipe For Internet Marketing Success[/lang_de][lang_zh]Recipe For Internet Marketing Success[/lang_zh]OK, are you ready for the recipe for Internet Network Marketing success?

  • Target the right audience. Decide who you want to market to and find a way to put your business in front of that very specific audience 75% of the time. Make sure your ad copy headlines, and content speak about what’s important to that audience.
  • Consistently Expose Your Business. There are hundreds of different ways to advertise and expose your business. Do the research, choose the methods/tools that fit your budget and circumstances, and stick with it. No advertising, at any level, works well without continuous exposure. The Super Bowl ads, priced at $2 million for a 30 second ad, are shown consistently throughout the rest of the year.
  • Choose Your Partners WiselyAnybody who has been in the industry for any length of time will tell you that there is an 80/20 Rule - 80% of the volume will come from 20% of your team. Our experience indicates that a 90/10 Rule is more accurate. Either way, you need to be very selective about who you invest your time in, since there are quite a few people who “talk a good game.” We recommend using an Interview Process, with homework assignments, to separate the “talkers” from the “doers.
  • Focus On Duplication. Many people in this industry will tell you the secret to success is duplicating your efforts. That’s not always correct … you really need duplicate your results. Duplicating your efforts doesn’t guarantee results. You should evaluate everything you do (advertising, phone calls, presentations, interview techniques, etc.) and decide whether your team members can easily duplicate it. If not, back to the drawing board.

We could spend the next several days breaking these 4 items into individual ingredients, portion sizes, and cooking times, but that would mean giving away all the recipes that makes our restaurant unique.

 

The most important thing to remember is find someone who is successful, decide whether what they do makes sense to you, and then C.A.S.E. them (Copy And Steal Everything). We don’t mean this in a bad way, it’s just the formula for success in any industry … find a mentor and become a sponge; soaking in all their knowledge and experience. Most successful people have a mentor they learned from.

LA blocks new fast-food outlets

Jul-30-2008 By admin

This is something exciting by By CHRISTINA HOAG, Associated Press Writer. Cool!

More and more people are looking into this. LOS ANGELES - City officials are putting South Los Angeles on a diet.

The City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to place a moratorium on new fast food restaurants in an impoverished swath of the city with a proliferation of such eateries and above average rates of obesity.

The yearlong moratorium is intended to give the city time to attract restaurants that serve healthier food. The action, which the mayor must still sign into law, is believed to be the first of its kind by a major city to protect public health.

“Our communities have an extreme shortage of quality foods,” City Councilman Bernard Parks said.

Representatives of fast-food chains said they support the goal of better diets but believe they are being unfairly targeted. They say they already offer healthier food items on their menus.

“It’s not where you eat, it’s what you eat,” said Andrew Puzder, president and chief executive of CKE Restaurants, parent company of Carl’s Jr. “We were willing to work with the city on that, but they obviously weren’t interested.”

The California Restaurant Association and its members will consider a legal challenge to the ordinance, spokesman Andrew Casana said.

Thirty percent of adults in South Los Angeles area are obese, compared to 19.1 percent for the metropolitan area and 14.1 percent for the affluent Westside, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.

Research has shown that people will change eating habits when different foods are offered, but cost is a key factor in poor communities, said Kelly D. Brownell, director of Yale University’s Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity.

“Cheap, unhealthy food and lack of access to healthy food is a recipe for obesity,” Brownell said. “Diets improve when healthy food establishments enter these neighborhoods.”

A report by the Community Health Councils found 73 percent of South Los Angeles restaurants were fast food, compared to 42 percent in West Los Angeles.

South Los Angeles resident Curtis English acknowledged that fast food is loaded with calories and cholesterol. But since he’s unemployed and does not have a car, it serves as a cheap, convenient staple for him.

On Monday, he ate breakfast and lunch — a sausage burrito and double cheeseburger, respectively — at a McDonald’s a few blocks from home for just $2.39.

“I don’t think there’s too many fast food places,” he said. “People like it.”

Others welcomed an opportunity to get different kinds of food into their neighborhood.

“They should open more healthy places,” Dorothy Meighan said outside a Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet. “There’s too much fried stuff.”

Councilwoman Jan Perry said that view repeatedly surfaced at the five community meetings she held during the past two years. Residents are tired of fast food, and many don’t have cars to drive to places with other choices, she said.

The city’s Community Redevelopment Agency has developed a package of incentives designed to attract more restaurants serving healhier food to inner-city neighborhoods. Perks include assistance in finding parcels of land, low-interest loans, matching funds for burying utility lines, discounted electricity rates, and tax credits.

Los Angeles‘ ban comes at a time when governments of all levels are increasingly viewing menus as a matter of public health. On Friday, California became the first state in the nation to bar trans fats, which lower levels of good cholesterol and increase bad cholesterol.

The moratorium, which can be extended up to a year, only affects standalone restaurants, not eateries located in malls or strip shopping centers. It defines fast-food restaurants as those that do not offer table service and provide a limited menu of pre-prepared or quickly heated food in disposable wrapping.

captd5ec864c8f2c454191fc0006a58c2867china_obese_clinic_xhg109 [lang_en]LA blocks new fast-food outlets[/lang_en]

The definition exempts “fast-food casual” restaurants such as El Pollo Loco, Subway and Pastagina, which do not have drive-through windows or heat lamps and prepare fresh food to order.

The ordinance also makes it harder for existing fast-food restaurants to expand or remodel.

Rebeca Torres, a South Los Angeles mother of four, said she would welcome more dining choices, even if she had to pay a little more.

“They should have better things for children,” she said. “This fast food really fattens them up.”

Sabbath rest…

Jul-26-2008 By admin

03 [lang_en]Sabbath rest...[/lang_en]Today was a day of REST. Went to shop around and just don’t know why landed at this place, bugis. Actually I had been there many times and saw this 2 lady from China selling one kind of juice. Is just like selling in night market.

Maybe today I’m there with a purpose. So, since today I’m there, I walk near to check it out. To my surprise, they claim this juice can help to quit smoking, anti-cancer, etc. When I look further, it seem what they had is only a cert from the local government that this juice is approve for sales, safe to consume, nothing else. Also, the fruit is just normal with nothing special BUT is not cheap, tag at S$70 and they are selling at a price of S$280, for 4. Cool! I look further and see how they sell to those who walk near, mostly, all who buy are aunties and NOT a single one around my age buy. The sale lady trying to promote to me but to me, wellness is what interest me especially when they claim to be anti-cancer and help to quit smoking. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t smoke but whatever product that is good to us I will surely find out and see how I can use that to benefits my family health and those around me. So, after a few questions, they somehow wanted to change the topic and just keep asking me to buy and is good and wanted to sell me with those free gift. Hey! When my questions is not clear, then what make me buy? Not this, one thing that catch me is they tell me by taking their juice, I need to drink lots of water. WATER! This is really interesting! Long story short, I just note down whatever info I can get from there, and came back to do some research and to my surprise, nothing much. No info, nothing. It never mention how it was been produce, etc. NO cert, nothing to backed it up. I wonder, what in these people mind? If by taking that juice we still need to drink lots of water, then? Again, not just plain water. Our water no matter how will contain some stuff in it which is anti to those vitamins. Also, that juice doesn’t seem to have anything to backed it up while what I had on hand had all the stuff, proven that it really are one of the anti-cancer. Also, that is the very basic, drinking water! Again, S$280 compare to mine, this is really no brainer! I had personally seen people by faithfully drinking 3-4 per day really quit smoking, lose weight, more healthy, more energy and become more happy. For me, I had faithfully take this for some time now and I really forget when is the last time I really sick. Last time, when I get in the rain, then I will know what happen next but now, when I WALK in the rain, HAHA! NOTHING! This is so cool!

In total, I feel, if really for me to chose, I will rather buy other juice than that. Just any in the market or supermart. BUT again, not all juice suit me. I had tried most, you name it. All are too sweet for me. I’m a person can’t take sweet. If I do take coffee, just half tea spoon of milk is enough for me, no sugar. BEST coffee is plain, no sugar and milk, that me! So, on the market till today, not much juice suit my taste, same for my family. I feel, I won’t go much to head into to try new thing whereas I had already found. I always tell people, To Find The Truth, You Must Believe. What I had might be simple BUT that is the VERY basic. To keep going in circle or just to find what we already had? Spend something which might not work or spend something which in the end still need to drink many GOOD and PURE water or just to Believe…

I chose to believe and to make a different in the lives of 1000s of family around the world… are you with me?

You gotta get this book

Jul-20-2008 By admin

Yeah, it’s summer, but this couldn’t wait because I just got off the phone with one of my favorite entrepreneurs and the “go to” guy for top direct sales and network marketing companies, Jim Britt.

Jim has written two new books - one specifically for network marketers, and one for entrepreneurs. The books are incredibly good.

You may not have heard of Jim. He’s mostly played under the radar, quietly making millions, both as a business entrepreneur and in network marketing.

This is the same guy that coached Tony Robbins… THE Tony Robbins, before Tony became a guru in his own right. Jim is one of the first people new network marketing companies call on to help launch their businesses for one simple reason - he knows what works and what doesn’t. He’s been in the biz for about 30 years.

I urgently want you to get your hands on one - or both - books.

You’ll learn specific money-making power tips that are worth 100, maybe 1000 times what you’ll pay for the book. And in the network marketing book, he covers the 6 daily action steps that he teaches at high-end workshops.

What’s better is that Jim tells me he’ll be doing some no-cost teleseminars if you buy the book this week, just to make sure you “get” everything he says.

Jim isn’t cheap, so getting these live lessons at no cost should make you want to jump at this opportunity.

These books will change the way you think about yourself, money, and your wealth. And you’ll know exactly what steps to take that will short-cut the process to success.

I encourage you to get your copy as soon as possible, so that you don’t miss any of the upcoming teleseminars.

mlm [lang_en]You gotta get this book[/lang_en]If you’re a network marketer, be sure to go here (”Do This. Get Rich! For Network Marketers“).

If you’re an entrepreneur, own your own business, or WANT to start your own business, or simply want to know how to make more money, then you’ll want to get “Do This. Get Rich! For Entrepreneurs”.

Go here.
So do yourself a favor.

Stop worrying about the rising price of gas or whether or not we’re in a recession. The truth, as you’ll realize after you read Jim’s book, is that you can skip right past these “problems” by adopting a millionaire mindset and following Jim’s wealth building actions.

Have a prosperous summer! :-)

Who/What Are You Going To Be?

Jul-16-2008 By admin

The witching hour is upon us. Those who live in the United States are getting ready to celebrate Halloween. On this holiday, people dress up as other people (or things) and go out to cavort with friends.

As people in the U.S. focus on this silly holiday, the big question that people ask each other is, “What are you going to be for Halloween?” For many of you, the same question applies to your business. When was the last time you gave some thought to “What you are going to be?”

Many of us get so caught up in our hectic lives that we rarely take the time to ponder our future. One of our favorite sayings goes something like this, “If you want your life to be different 5 years from now, you have to do something different today!” Wouldn’t this be a good time to decide what you want to be in the future; what you would like out of life?

Once you decide on a vision of your future (which is the easy part), you must then develop a plan of action (or road map) to get you there. This will require commitment and dedication on your part, but it will be well worth the sacrifice. Only a select few people achieve the lifestyle they desire … but that’s because only a select few are willing to do what it takes.

For too many people, “Life is what happens while you’re making plans!” Life is short and can quickly pass you by, if you don’t take action. So stop analyzing and rationalizing, decide on your goals, choose an action plan, and take action.

Here’s our final witty saying for today, “Ignorance on fire is far more powerful than knowledge on ice.” Every single successful person throughout history was brave enough to take action. They were also resourceful enough to find acquire the necessary knowledge.

Okay, gotta run. It’s time to figure out “what we’re going to be.” Check back soon for more on this topic.

Be on Edge

Jul-9-2008 By admin

They did it once and they going to do it once again…

EDGE is the only healthy energy drink available on the market today that not only gives you the extra “boost” you’re looking for, but also supports optimal brain performance at any age.

The Ultimate Combination…

As we age, the benefits of systemically alkalizing and hydrating the brain and body with Xtreme X2O are numerous and well established in science. In an acidic environment the brain function becomes sluggish, tired and worst yet - an unhealthy environment is established that predisposes the aging brain to the ravages of Alzheimer’s disease. By supplementing with the powerful combination of Xtreme X2O and EDGE, you are significantly improving mental function and performance while feeling more composed and energetic.

edgebox004 [lang_en]Be on Edge[/lang_en]Living on the EDGE…

Memory loss and lack of energy are two of the most common complaints of aging in today’s world. The specialized ingredients found in Xooma’s EDGE have been studied, documented and produce proven results. In addition, their incredible synergistic effects provide the targeted nourishment your mind and body crave.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR)

ALCAR’s role in brain function is in maintaining, protecting, and improving cellular energy production. This abundance of energy is then utilized to create neurotransmitters and keep the brain in top shape.

  • Stimulates the growth of new healthy nuerites
  • Is a powerful brain antioxidant
  • Has been shown to improve normal cognition
  • Improves cognitive benefits in patients with mild Alzheimer’s or non-Alzheimer’s

DMAE

A significant body of scientific research into the effects of Dimethyl-aminoethanol (DMAE) goes back more than four decades.

  • Improves attention, concentration and academic/learning performance
  • Has been shown to increase IQ scores in children
  • Improves the speed of reaction in the brain

Rhodiola

Decades of accumulated scientific studies validate rhodiola’s usefulness for improving mental performance, energy and stamina.

  • Protects the nervous system against oxidative damage by free radicals.
  • Optimizes the release of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter associated with learning, attention and memory.
  • May prevent or ameliorate some age-related dysfunction in neurotransmitter systems that tend to deteriorate with aging.

Huperzine- A

Huperzine- A has demonstrated memory enhancing effects in cognitive states ranging from “normal” to “impaired.”

  • Protects cells against hydrogen peroxide and beta-amyloid protein (a toxic protein seen in Alzheimer’s disease).
  • Promotes  healthy vascular tissue and neuronal health in the brain
  • Modulates the neurotransmitter dopamine, involved in cognition, motivation, mood, attention and learning.

Green Tea

For years, scientists have recognized that the catechins in green tea- specifically EGCG exhibit a powerful ability to protect brain cells from free radical activity and increased energy levels.

  • Research has demonstrated that EGCG not only stops neurons from degeneration, but also regenerates and restores their function.
  • A recent study showed that green tea actually slowed the effects of normal aging and its associated regression in brain function. 
  • Significantly increases the rate of body fat metabolized while increasing energy levels within the body. 

This is too wonderful! Currently this is ONLY made available to us (distributors) and I had placed my order. So excited and can’t wait to get my hand on it. And I believe, combine EDGE with Xtreme X2O, this is going to be HUGE!

The Language of Success

Jul-8-2008 By admin

If you want to attract strong, powerful, confident leaders … you have to project the image of a strong, powerful, confident leader. It is a proven fact that like attracts like.

Weak, unsure, followers who struggle with self-doubt will undoubtedly attract weak, self-doubting followers. Strong, confident, self-assured leaders always seem to attract strong leaders.

I have seen it happen so many times over the years. I have seen many, many brazen, over confident, braggarts build large network marketing organizations. I look at these folks and ask myself how they did it. They don’t seem all that capable and proficient, yet they do attract some leadership.

The answer is … they projected an air of confidence and self-assuredness, even if it may be abrasive to some and obnoxious to others. What does this example teach us? It teaches us several things:

  • You don’t have to be an expert to look and act like one. (All these Internet eBook sites prove it.)

  • Strong, confident personalities attract strong individuals.

  • Those who take charge of the conversation control the process.

  • It’s not always about what you say; many times it’s more important how you say it.

When was the last time you really gave serious thought to the language you use? It is something that you really have to focus on; like anything worthwhile, implementing a success vocabulary will likely take some time & effort to bring about positive changes. To this day, we constantly analyze our conversations in order to retrain our brain.

I’m not going to go into every example here today. That’s an exercise for you to do at home as part of the analysis and learning process. I am going to a give you few examples that will assist you in getting the ball rolling.

Weak Word or Phrase #1: Maybe

Example: “Maybe you could share with us a little bit more about what you’re doing on the Internet?”

A better choice: Definitely

Example: “We would definitely like to learn a little more about you’re background and experience.

What is the first thing you think of when someone tells you “maybe”? Maybe is a very indecisive word used to avoid making a decision. Leaders make decisions.

Definite is a word of power, of authority, of decisiveness … a word that conjures up positive action. Definite is a “without a doubt” yes! There is no room for misinterpretation of what you think or mean when you use the word “definite.”

Do you want to follow someone who is not definite about what they want to achieve?

Weak Word or Phrase #2: Never

Example: “I’m never going to get this stuff!”

A better choice: Soon

Example: “I’m going to stay focused and will master all of this very soon!”

Never is a word of no future, no hope. It brings thoughts of inevitability and a lack of power or control to influence the outcome. The word never is used by people who watch things happen or let things happen.

When you hear soon, you think about excitement and eagerness for coming events. When you use the word soon, the person on the other end of the phone will be thinking that you can make things happen.

Do you want to align yourself with someone who lets things happen or someone who makes things happen?

Weak Word or Phrase #3: Problem

Example: I’m having this major problem getting my domain forwarding to work. I need your help!!!

A better choice: Challenge

Example: I’m having a small challenge with my domain forwarding. When can we schedule a time to work on it?

Every thing we encounter in life challenges us to rise above. The winners in life focus on solutions, whiners focus on the issue.

Weak Word or Phrase #4: Try

Example: “I’ll try to get to that this afternoon.”

A better choice: Will

Example: “I’ll have that completed and off to you this afternoon.”

Try is a very weak and non-committal word. When I hear someone use the word try, I’m thinking that they are going to give it a half-hearted attempt or go through the motions, but there is no guarantee that they are going to accomplish the task.

The word will is a very positive commitment to get things done. Try is a word of accomplishment and success.

banner_247_fasttrack [lang_en]The Language of Success[/lang_en]Do you want to do business with someone who tries or someone who succeeds?

Weak Word or Phrase #5: I wish

Example: I wish I could sponsor somebody already!

A better choice: I am

Example: I am committed to doing what it takes to sponsor new members on my team!

I wish is a word that connotes lack of belief and lack of commitment. Again, it leaves you with a feeling of being powerless to impact the outcome or result; hence you have to wish for a result.

The phrase ‘I am’ leaves little room for doubt about your mindset, belief level and commitment. ‘I am’ is a phrase of empowerment and confidence.

Do you want to join us business with people who wish for success, or with people who are committed to success?

That’s enough to get you started, to set the wheels in motion. The question for each of is, “What image are we projecting to the people we interact with. Are we a confident, empowered leader or a follower plagued by uncertainty and low self-confidence? You’re words tell the story!
