I just don’t get how everyone is so blinded by the new marketing world. We have access to endless information, via the internet, yet we are letting people destroy our health, homes, our integrity. America we have gotta wake up!!! Get our heads out of the sand!!!

Today on Oprah, Dr Oz and Jessica Seinfield discussed way to eat healthier. Dr Oz is doing everything he can to wake families up to the danger of our eating habits. The children of this area are going to be the first in history to live a shorter life than their parents. Dr. Oz has operated on thousands of patients and know first hand the dangers of poor eating, he understands how it trows our hormones out of whack, and leads to diabetes, obesity, and more.

My advice is to stop trying to do everything in a day, but live each day to do the best you can for yourself, in every area of your life. Your worth it. Take the time to treat yourself to good, long health. If you need a little extra boost to get started try adding vital nutrients, you may be missing in your daily diet, by adding a Vemma shooter or a Can of Verve to your daily routine, eat healthier, exercise (do something you love, dance, learn self defense. . ), turn off the TV, drink plenty of water, reduce stress in every area of your life.

Good Things Come to Those Who Ask

Good Things Come to Those Who Ask
by Jack Canfield

Asking for what you need is probably the most underutilized tool for people. And yet, amazing requests have been granted to people simply because they’ve asked for it!

Whether its money, information, support, assistance, or time, most people are afraid to ask for what they need in order to make their dreams come true.

They might be afraid of looking needy, ignorant, helpless, or even greedy. More than likely, though, it is the fear of rejection that is holding them back. Even though they are afraid to hear the word no, they’re already saying it to themselves by not asking!

Do you ask for what you want or are you afraid of rejection?

Consider this: Rejection is just a concept. There is really no such thing as rejection! You’re not any worse off by hearing no than you were before you asked. You didn’t have what you asked for before you asked and you still don’t, so what did you lose?

Being rejected doesn’t hold you back from anything. Only YOU hold yourself back. If you are told no, ask for what you’d have to do to get it, or ask again at another time when the circumstances have changed. Ask if they know someone else who might say yes. When you realize that there’s no merit to rejection, you’ll feel more comfortable asking for things. But you may need a bit of help learning how to ask for what you want.

First, ask as though you expect to get it.

Be confident in your request coming from a perspective that there’s no reason why you wouldn’t get it. Or they say no, you can ask them why, or what you would need to do to get a yes. You might need to form a better business plan before you will get a loan. You might need to take a course in computers before you will get a promotion. You might need to spend more quality time with your family before you will get the loving support you need. By getting this feedback you are able to make adjustments and ask again with better chances of getting a yes.

Second, assume you can get what you want if you only ask for it.

You want a window seat? Assume all you have to do is ask for it. You want an ocean view? Cheaper tickets? A scholarship? A better deal? Just ask for it as if that’s all you have to do to get it.

And finally, be specific about what you want or need.

Do you want to make $5,000 more a year? Then don’t just ask for a raise. Ask for $5,000 more a year. Vague request produce vague results. Don’t just ask for more time with your spouse; ask for a date on Friday night. Don’t ask for help on a project, ask for what you want that person to take care of.

Getting a good perspective on rejection and learning how to ask will make a world of difference for you as you work toward your goals. Practice asking and you’ll get very good at it! You’ll even speed your progress by getting what you need, or improving yourself in order to get it later.

Make a list of what you need to ask for in all areas of your life, and then start asking!

The Importance of Alkaline Balance in the Body

In order to function at optimum capacity, the internal body environment must remain as close to neutral as possible. It likes to measure in on the pH scale at 7.39. When the body takes in an excessive amount of acids, as it does so often as a result of making the wrong food choices, this excess must be brought back into balance. The way the body accomplishes this is by bringing the acid and alkaline levels back into balance. Each of the elements inside the body, the vitamins, amino acids, fatty acids, minerals, sugars and trace elements, can be categorized as either an acid or an alkaline. One interesting fact about an acid and an alkaline element is that when they are mixed together, they are able to cancel each other out. The scientific term for what is created when an alkaline and an acid element are combined is a neutral salt. Much in the same way as the neutral color gray results when black and white are combined, and when the neutral temperature of warm results when hot water is combined with cold, a neutral salt cancels out the inherent respective properties of the combined acid and alkaline elements. With no acid or alkaline properties, neutral salts have no impact on the cellular serums or blood in which they are present. When excess acid is present, the body must go out and find alkaline elements to begin the process of neutralizing this excess acid. Alkalines are usually present in the blood, but because the blood cannot tolerate much variation in its pH level, this is never a good source from which to borrow. A better source for alkaline elements is the internal organs and tissues. These areas can tolerate a greater degree of pH level fluctuation. Even though the internal organs and tissue can exist in the short-term without all of the necessary alkaline, it is of critical importance that the borrowed alkaline be replaced. Normally this is not a problem. A healthy diet is generally all it takes to replenish alkaline levels. But most people don’t consume a healthy diet. It is this repeated borrowing of alkaline without replacement that becomes a serious situation. In fact, given the way many people eat today, it is not uncommon for alkaline to be borrowed and not replenished every single day, and worse, many times in a single day. Taking more alkaline than is being replenished will sooner or later create a deficit. Alkaline has a purpose. It is crucial to the properly functioning of the internal organs and tissue. It is not present in the body so that it can be used to help neutralize excessive acid. A shortage of alkaline inside the body occurs much more frequently than it should. The end result of this alkaline mineral loss can be any number of different illnesses and diseases and an overall feeling of poor health.

Energy Drinks

Man, it is so disgusting to see so many companies racking up on unsuspecting consumers!

Talk about No integrity. . .

None, they lack all human respect for the well being of their fellow man. How can anyone consciously create, manufacture, and sell a product that is so dangerous, and beneficial to another? Now, for even more sales they are adding alcohol to the mix. As if the ingredients weren’t bad enough! Now, more store attendants can lose there jobs, (yes, lose there jobs, as they inadvertently sell them to undercover minors!) Not like they can tell them from every other energy drink. Police are doing all they can to keep up with all the labels, (virtually impossible) and parents forget it! We as parents are doomed. Our kids could be drinking the stuff right under our noses and we’d never know it!!!

It amazes me that someone would want to produce a product that lacks anything of use to the human body. Some caffeine is good, but 200-300 mg per can is just plain bad! As if we don’t already have enough sugar issues, and what about all the problems schools are already struggling with, let’s jack our kids up a bit more, why don’t we?? Then there is all the artificial flavors, colors, preservative’s. . .

Not just kids are looking for more, longer lasting energy to get through their day, so are mom’s, construction men and women, blue collar workers, hospital personal, security officers, police, athletics of all kinds, all in the name of sustainable energy. It’s disgusting to say the very least!

Of the over 700 brands I have read and observed the reviews on, only a very small handful are even making an effort to include some beneficial ingredients. If you looking for the very best thing you can do for your body on a daily bases, and wouldn’t mind an energy boost to boot, it’s time to give Verve a look. It’s loaded with good stuff a body needs! and not of the stuff you don’t!

Vemma voluntarily submitted Verve to NSF International in order to evaluate that its formula contained no banned substances, including stimulants, narcotics, anabolic agents, diuretics, masking agents and beta-blockers that could cause professional athletes to be disqualified from competition. According to their website, NSF International, The Public Health and Safety Company^TM, is a not-for-profit organization and the world leader in standards development, product certification, education, and risk-management for public health and safety.

Verve hits Mt Rainier

I would like to tell you how wonderful it is to share my story with our Vemma/Verve friends.

I live in Seattle, Washington and went hiking with a co-worker on Mt Rainier, last Saturday, April 26th.. The Muir Base Camp is about 10,000 feet in altitude and the air is very thin as one can imagined and the sky was absolutely as blue as could be and unusually warm (about 68 degrees). My friend had reached the base camp first, by noon, only to realize that he had lost his water bottle somewhere in route.

How to Attract Endless New Distributor & Customers to You

I am so excited! I discover a way to attract an endless stream of prospect. As salesman, distributors, members, mlmers, direct sales, internet marketers, whatever we choose to call ourselves the one thing we ALL have in common is WE NEED PEOPLE TO TALK TO! That’s the bottom line! We can’t help people with out them. We can’t grow out business without them. And we can’t increase our Wealth without them.

So then how does one generate their own quality people to talk to? (This was the very same question I was asking myself after several unsuccessful attempts at network marketing.)

I did my home work, I research what others were doing, I bought a ton of books, cd’s, reports, (by the way, this ISN”T how the Big Dogs are doing it, and neither should you!) I wasted a lot of money, money I didn’t have. What I learned is we must have a SYSTEM. Not just a capture page, or website or blogs, creating backlinks or a List (though very important) or product, or an auto responder but a SYSTEM. See a system will provide all of the previous mentioned tools in one organized place.

We need a system to generate leads for us. A good system will have a capture page to “capture” a potential prospects contact information, provide them a worthy service or information. Then forward them on to a website or allow you to contact them, build a friendship or relationship with them. At this point you want to keep detailed notes, add this contact to a contact management program of some sort, (often provided in a system) then you will want to put them into a drip system where they will continue to receive tidbits of information from you. Over time, they will, or should, come to like and trust you. They will most likely discover your success, and ask you “what you do?” And then your off to the races.

Discover the System, I use, to Magnetically Sponsor people.

Mangosteen-Queen of Fruits

What is a Mangosteen?

Surprisingly, few people have had the opportunity to discover the mangosteen. For those who haven’t yet, it is important to discover mangosteen. The mangosteen tree is a type of tropical evergreen tree that is believed to have originated in the Sunda Islands and the Moluccas. The tree itself grows from seven to twenty-five meters tall, and the fruit produced from this tree is a deep reddish-purple color when ripe. Mangosteen fruit is known as the “Queen of Fruits” in Asia. [From: NutriLiquids.com]

Caffeinated moms drink up to keep up – CNN.com

Double latte in the morning, soda with lunch, energy drink at midday. Sound familiar?

Americans are consuming caffeinated beverages as never before. In fact, energy drink sales skyrocketed in 2007. The sale of Rockstar, which contains up to 360 mg of caffeine per can, compared with 80 to 150 mg per serving for coffee, rose 38.9 percent in 2007, according to Beverage Digest. Red Bull sales rose 19 percent. [From Caffeinated moms drink up to keep up - CNN.com]
