I'll Do It Next Year

The words; "I'll do it next year" just make me so mad!
I can't tell you how many times I have heard that from people this year when I'm presenting this awesome business opportunity to them.
What makes them think that they are going to "do it" at all? These are just excuse words to make entrepreneurs think that the person whom they're speaking with are actually interested in what they have to offer to them.

STOP Listening to these excuse words! If there not going to jump on board with your "wonderful" opportunity after meeting with them the third time or fourth time, they're NOT going to join up with you.
It takes four to six "touches" to actually get them interested most of the time. You might find those rare gems that jump in feet first and shoot out of the gate with a bang.

Another year is coming to a close. How did you do with recruiting people into your business?
How will you do things differently from the year to make next year more profitable?

Will YOU be trading dimes for time, or time for your dimes?

Strategic Planning Nights or Days

Strategic Planning 



 

Strategy planning for your business is essential!

Making a monthly, weekly and daily planning keeps you on track to start and finish your goals.

 

When we were in college we has a planning day. Finals, parties and work.

If I don't take the time out of my days to make plans that will help me grow my business, then why am I even in business for myself?

 

To become a successful business owner one must choose between doing things that no one else will want to do.

Missing out on the"fun" things at the time just lead up to having more freedom to do what you want when you want later.

My blog site is titled, "Trading Dimes For Time" for a reason.

I don't know about you but I want the unlimited freedom and income of being a business owner.

My main network marketing business is a cutting edge, one of a kind scientific technology that is patented to reduce inflammation by 40% in 30 days. Now they (Lifevantage) just launched another breakthrough technology that is backed by science to reduce the visceral fat in your gut. Yes that's what I said too. How can they do that?
 

 Strategic planning is how they accomplish this. Planning to be the first to market with Nrf2 activation technology and changing the way network marketing companies will do business in the future.
How do you plan out time for your business?
I'm trading my dimes in for my time are you?

Oxidative Stress Is Aging You

http://www.abcliveit.com

Oxidative Stress

Oxidative stress is causing your body to age. What is all this talk about oxidative stress anyway?
Did you know that oxidative stress was first studied back in 1994? Maybe even earlier than that. Go to www.pubmed.gov for yourself and type it in the search bar.
Back in 2005 a well known reporter from ABC Primetime came to Colorado to interview Dr. Joseph McCord about a patented product. What happened started a revolution of change in the health and wellness industry.
We all have oxidative stress. It's a fact! How do we get rid of it?
Oh yes you can take antioxidants; however they're not as efficient nor effective as what Dr. McCord discovered.

Why am I blogging about this?
Because this product is changing lives by the thousands. It's changed mine and it's all up 👆 from here.

Not only has this one product changed my health but the other benefits of some other products have and continue to amaze me.
If I could show you how to decrease your oxidative stress and increase the production of free radicals in your body naturally would you be interested?
If there was a natural way to increase the Nrf2 synergy in the body, would you want to know more?

And I have some exciting news for you. Not only in the products that this little company called Lifevantage are so smart, health and mind changing now they've developed Smart Weight Management!

I can't wait until tomorrow and after it launches to see this enzyme response weight loss explode.

What are you waiting for?

Veterans In Trouble

 My oldest son is a United States Army Veteran. After multiple places had turned him down for help, I was recommended this website.
Did you know that most non profits that help veterans won't help a veteran unless they are either wounded or retired. It is a shame that even if you've served four years or twelve you can't get help when you need it!
After reaching the end "of his rope" and about to give up hope, along came a hopeful solution. http://www.veteransintrouble.com/

While we're waiting to hear back from this organization I am hopeful that they can help my son meet his needs.
Stay tuned for the results.

Beginning Again

Beginning again can be scary. Getting used to doing the same things day in and day out can make one frustrated.
Have you ever felt like you just needed a new beginning?
Beginning a new career, marriage, raising children and more.
I wonder if you had the chance to start a new beginning, would you?
I turned fifty this year and I am reinventing myself. Starting a new beginning. Learning how to use social media more effectively to attract others that are like minded entrepreneurs.
Beginning again can be scary and yet a good thing.
I am up for a change

The End Is Near!

Today let's talk about endings.
I bet the title really caught your eye.
Endings can be a positive time for reflection and change. For example; every year ends with making a new year's resolution that most of us never keep.
The end of the month comes and we either welcome a new month or dread the next month's unending problems.
Bills to pay with more month then money at the end.
How about the ending of another year? Yes I said it
another year is coming to an end. Yet once again did you pass or fail at the "resolutions" you made?

Are endings meant to make us stronger people? In fact I believe they do.
With each trial, each step in the directions we take, leads us to something better.
Time flies by as we get older. The kids grow up, hopefully they move out and give us grandchildren one day.

So much can be said about endings. My favorite movie of all time ends with the true meaning of friendship.
Have you seen the movie Beaches? I cry every time without fail.

Endings. Oh sweet endings can you imagine if all endings were bittersweet like in the movies?
Speaking of endings, let me end this before the morning slips away.

New To Blogging

New To Blogging?
I am fairly new to this whole blogging thing. I love to write about anything that will help other's have success in their business and in life.
How does a person know what to blog about? Jobs, schools, politics, network marketing, religion etc, and it can feel overwhelming to a beginning blogger. I'm sure even the experts have their days too.
Focus on things that you know to write about at first. Progress into other things slowly.
For instance, I just am learning about keywords and how useful they are in writing my blog to be seen by searches.
Using Keywords http://www.sarkemedia.com/using-keywords/
Thus far I have only skimmed the surface to honing my craft.

More to follow as the days roll on.

Giving Tuesday

So Thanksgiving is over, cyber Monday is done and today is known as Giving Tuesday.
Did you know this? I just had recently discovered that this is the biggest day people donate to charities during the year.
Why today? What makes this day different from any other day?
According to the website http://www.givingtuesday.com

"GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving. Since its inaugural year in 2012, #GivingTuesday has become a movement that celebrates and supports giving and philanthropy with events throughout the year and a growing catalog of resources".
Donating comes in many forms.
Cash, check, clothing and time.
What is important to remember is that today isn't just about donating to a favorite charity, but donating time to your loved ones and spending quality time with them.

I'm not going to make this long. I just wanted to say, "Give today and give tomorrow because one day you may need the same in return.

Are You A Blogger?

I really never took blogging seriously until a few months ago. I know that there are tricks to attracting people to your "blog" site and figuring out what they are is so confusing.
Then one day while on Facebook, chating with one of my community members she introduced herself and a friendship began. Before I knew it I had become a part of this great, secret 🔐, blogging society. I felt like I was back in school. Running with the hippest, coolest kids that are getting noticed for being leaders and shakers.

Whirlwind Changes

Life happens! Every now and then life throws us into a whirlwind and we can either become overwhelmed with it, or choose to push through it.
That happened to me this past weekend. Life halted for a brief period and it felt like the wind had just picked up my life, my children's lives and carried us away.
"Whirlwinds" happen when a person is building a business. It starts with an idea, then the planning, excitement of doing something new and different.
We start out excited in our new venture with the attitude that we are going to change the world. Then bam!! Life takes us for a ride. I don't know anyone who enjoys "wind therapy" that is unless your on a motorcycle and that is a whole different"wind therapy".
Life tried to knock me and my family down; however we choose to fight back and push through the whirlwind to see the sunny side.

Money, Money, Money

More Month Then Money

I'm curious to know how many of you reading this have more month then you do money at the end of every month?
Not surprising to see that about 95% of you said, "That's me".
Most people don't even have a minimum of $1,000 in savings account, or even have a savings account. There living pay check to pay check and that isn't even enough.
The though process that has been taught forever in schools isn't, I repeat ISN'T working!!
Why aren't we pushing our schools to teach real life situations? Teach our children how to become an entrepreneur, self sufficient, hard working adults.

Are you above the line or below it? How can we change our situations with the means we have right now?
On my other blog, Connect With Alicia on WordPress I point out that we need multiple streams of income to survive these days.

Think of income as a bar stool with four legs. If one leg is loose and falls off one maybe able to still balance on it. However if two legs or even three fall off then there's a problem. See my point?

How do we change our lives, our families lives for the better?
The only solution that I have found is , ...... Network Marketing. Yes I said it and I will keep saying it because it's the only real solution.
If you agree fine, if you disagree that's okay too.
My goal is to inform others, help them where I'm needed and see everyone who wants to have the freedom they deserve obtain it.

Trading Dimes For Time

What?

I know what you're thinking, what is she talking about?

Fact:

Everyone needs an income!  It doesn't matter where it comes from we just need money!

In school we are programed to get a good education,  find that rewarding career, work for someone else for 40 to 50 years and retire.

Really how's that working out for you?

After loosing my job in 2011 with a prominent DME, Oxygen company here in Denver, Co I took some time off to finish some projects that I had been working on. I knew  I really didn't want to go back to the corporate world for ever.  Oh yes I worked for another company and another when  something kept nudging me inside.  What was I doing with my life? How did we get to this point financially at our ages.

We weren't getting ahead!

I did everything that I was taught to do and still didn't have my promised  "American Dream".

Solutions

So what's the solution to the problem?

Work two or three jobs just to get by and provide for your family.   One income was great back in the 50's, 60's and maybe even the 70's. Now with the rising costs of rents, food, gas, clothing, healthcare, etc what's the solution?  Was I willing to settle for the "norm"?

 Not me!   

There had to be a beter way of making money to benefit pur needs, wants and desires.  Sure I had tried other network marketing companies before with no results except going broke.  That was until someone cared enough about me to share their opportunity with me,  helping  me create the solution to our financial and health needs.

This is not for everyone.  I'm not even sure that it's for you reading this right now.  It takes dedication,  commitment, and hard work to run a million dollar business. 

Don't mistake what I'm saying.  I don't have a million dollar business YET.  I am obtaining my dreams, goals, wants and desires  by going out and making them happen!

Riding is only a part of our lives.  In order to ride free we need money to pay for the gas, maintanance for the Harley Davidson,  food, drinks and whatever else comes along.  My husband is my main focus and just one of the reasons  I am helping others achieve their "American Dreams"  as well. 

Trading my dimes for time just wasn't what I wanted anymore.  However    trading  my time for dimes , that is the only choice for me.
