Are you Struggling? STOP IT!

Watching my son snowboard for the first time yesterday and cruising down Intermediate runs effortlessly by the end of the day gave me a HUGE EPIPHANY. We all have talents that come naturally to us and if we pay close attention to the things we do well without much effort, than simply get better at those things, than we can capitalize off our natural abilities vs. trying to pursue or do things that we really have no talent for, which will usually only lead us to frustration and loss. My wish for you in 2012 is that you find your Talent & Purpose in A BIG WAY!

Nerium - THE SHOCKING TRUTH - My Nerium Review

Nerium is a new direct to consumer company to hit the world of network marketing. Their flagship product is a skin cream applied to your face before you go to bed that is derived from The Nerium Plant and supposed to get rid of wrinkles, scarring, skin damage, etc. I was impressed enough by this company's story along with their before and after pictures that I thought I would do some due diligence regarding the company and their products. Not to mention their company owner Jeff Olsen is an icon in The world of Direct Selling and is a much sought after trainer and consultant within the industry. He has also probably written the most important book ever seen by our industry "The Slight Edge". I even took the plunge and spoke with Jeff personally and got some product to try out, while doing my due diligence. Unfortunately, I did not see the results after 30 days, that I thought or hoped that I might in a skin care product. I think I was happier with the results I had seen from other products, but the convenience of this product was superb, although getting past the smell did take a few applications. On a brighter note, I was very pleased with their packaging and branding (looks awesome!). Jeff obviously knows how to build and even in a bad economy people still need and want to look good.

The Nerium compensation plan looks to be a 3 X 3 uni-level type plan, very similar to one of my favorite plans in the industry - Visalus. The only real difference I could find between Nerium and Visalus' comp plan was that Nerium pays out a few levels deeper when you hit the top of the pay plan and offers a Lexus car program instead of The BMW Program offered by Visalus (except Visalus allows you to opt for the $300 Cash bonus vs. car & Nerium does not). What does this mean for someone joining Nerium? It simply means that if you invest in the $500 Biz Builder Package you will qualify for all commissions, and The Lexus Car Program - if you don't you will be leaving lots of money on the table, but still be rewarded for your efforts. With their compensation plan you will also be rewarded for obtaining customers - now isn't that a great idea. The comp plan is not too bottom or top heavy, so a new person could come in and start making money within their first few days in the business.

I like the look and feel of Nerium and think as they begin to grow their business to include more than their night skin cream - by adding cleansers, astringents, eye cream, etc, that they will continue to see growth from loyal customers and distributors.

The downside I see to Nerium is they have a ton of competition in skin care as skin care is a multi-billion dollar industry and many MLM Companies that have been around for awhile are already secure in that space (Nuskin, Arbonne, and Mary Kay). But Mr. Olsen also heads the research and management side of the business Nerium Biotechnology, Inc. Mr. Olsen has wisely surrounded himself with his close family and a team of corporate members that are well equipped, well known, knowledgeable, and poised for growth.. With that being said Nerium is a start up and the reality is that there is a huge risk/reward situation with any start up. A start up can be lucrative IF you get on a solid team early but there is no guarantee the company will be around in 5 years.

If you are a risk taker and like start-ups go for it. Keep in mind that your results will depend upon your ability to market, attract customers, and distributors to your business. If you feel that you lack the experience necessary to succeed in a brand new company or that maybe you don't have the risk factor for a start up than take a look at my company which has seen double digit growth over the past 20 months, 7 years old, and is completely debt free. http://www.thehomebiz4you.com

Beyond Organic - SHOCKING TRUTH - My Beyond Organic Review

Beyond Organic is a new direct to consumer company to hit the world of network marketing. Their products are primarily grocery based products (spring water, cheese, milk, steaks, hot dogs, etc...). The cool thing about Beyond Organic is they may attract people that are looking to change their eating habits and get good quality food delivered directly to their door. The other thing I like is they have an outstanding company owner Jordan Rubin who has had enormous success in the world of getting healthy through eating better (he is a best selling author of many books). Don't quite know how that is going to play out in the world of network marketing, but with the rise of healthier food chains like Sprouts, Trader Joes, and fast food restaurants like Chipotle, and hit documentaries like "Super Size Me" and "Food Inc." - the timing for a company like Beyond Organic could not be better as people are just simply becoming more aware of what they should eat and what they shouldn't eat.

Their compensation plan looks to be a uni-level type plan, so you will get paid not only on people you refer to your site to purchase products as a retail customer, but also on those who buy a membership (similar to Costco or Sam's Club) for $19.95 per year at a 20% discount. They also have an option on their site where you can actually become a business builder and market your very own Beyond Organic Business via the internet or to people who you know personally and build a network and get paid on all of the sales created by your distributors and their customers and so on throughout your organization.

I like the look and feel of Beyond Organic and think as they begin to grow their business to include more than just dairy, cheese, meat, and chocolate, they could have something that not only attracts the business minded person, but also customers. The downside I see to Beyond Organic is I've only seen one other company attempt to do MLM through groceries and their shipping costs were a bit extravagant. I do think it can be done, if they can keep their pricing competitive to what's on the shelf, but when I looked at their retail pricing it did seem quite a bit higher than what I would pay at the local store. Again, a major problem with network marketing, you still have to have pricing competitive to what's on the shelf (especially with widely consumed products). Other than that, I can't see too many problems with becoming a distributor with Beyond Organic, at least most people are already spending money every month on milk, cheese, and meat. You don't have to convince people to buy some magic juice that they would never spend a $100 a month on if they weren't a distributor or in really bad health. Of course if I get hungry, I don't know if I can wait a week for the mailman to arrive - ha ha.. Keep in mind that 95% of all new MLM's do go belly up in their first 2 to 3 years, so know the odds are stacked against you with any start-up in the network marketing industry.

If you're concerned about the risk of going with a brand new company than take a look at my company which has seen double digit growth over the past 20 months, 7 years old, and is completely debt free. http://www.thehomebiz4you.com

When to quit your MLM Business?

I just got a phone call from a friend of mine who is trying to recruit me into his MLM business. He's been working it for more than a few years and hasn't even made enough to cover his light bill. This is typical of most network marketers (90%). They never make any money and they stay for whatever reason, maybe it's the culture, the products, they don't want to miss their Thursday Night Amway meeting, because truthfully those business partners have become really good friends. But why stay in a business if you're not making any money? I mean you wouldn't stay at a job for a year and go to work everyday or even once a week if you weren't making any money. I'll never forget meeting a guy at an Amway meeting. He was so excited (he'd been in Amway for 5 years). I said, so you must be making a ton of money. His reply was not really. I then pried him to find out how much he was making after 5 years and he confessed his monthly check was just shy of $1000. Not bad I guess, if he was only putting in a few hours a week, but after 5 years with the same company, I would want to be making a lot more than $1000, especially if I was as fired up as this guy was.

So my question is when do you quit your business? This is not easy to answer, but truthfully at some point you have to be getting paid for your time. You can't go on forever without earning any money and unfortunately many people in this industry do. They don't treat it like a business, they treat it like a hobby or a social club. And that's fine, but I don't see network marketing like riding a motorcycle, a surfboard, playing a guitar, or taking piano. To me this is all business, and I just am not going to hang out in a company if I'm not getting paid for my time or being able to see results. Your results must be measurable and you should see a minimum of 20% growth every month in your sales organization, if you're ever going to make it big.

If you're not making money in your current company and you have been at it for more than 6 months. You're probably playing network marketing, or your company may not be the right company for you. Yes, network marketing typically takes a few years for the average person to make money in, but you need to see some movement from the fruits of your labor and yes it is a business. You are an independent contractor representing your company's products/services, technically you are a straight commission salesperson. So unless your organization is making sales, than you are not making $$$$$.

How to Pick an MLM Company?

After spending more than a few years in network marketing, one thing I know that can increase the odds of your success is choosing the right MLM Company. So many new distributors or even those who have been involved for awhile, just jump into a company without considering the following. Most experts say not to even join a company that hasn't been around for at least 4 years as 95% go belly up in the first few years. Considering it can take a few years to build a large passive residual income, you don't want to make the same mistakes I have by just jumping into a company without considering the following. Below I have laid out a series of questions to ask yourself before just jumping into the company.

* Does the company have rock solid leadership? (Does the owner or management team have a track record of success within the industry)

* Is the company debt free.

* Does the company have an outstanding product that will appeal to the masses? (You don't want a product that is only going to appeal to gym superstars, yogi's, or naturopaths, or takes a 3 page science report to understand)

* Is the product affordable for people even if they don't do the business? Must have great customer acquisition. Ask yourself if you would buy the product without a business opportunity?

* Is the business opportunity affordable enough even for people who have never been in network marketing to get started? (you don't want a biz opp that only appeals to network marketers)

* Is shipping the product affordable? (I have been in companies where I spent an extra $30 a month just on shipping & taxes)

* Is the product consumable? (pills, shakes, juice, skin-care, etc..)

* Can you make money quickly? (most distributors quit within 90 days if they don't make money)

* Is the compensation plan designed for the average person to succeed (many are not)?

* Does the product appeal to the Baby Boomer Population (They have most the wealth)?

* Must be a global company or have potential to be.

* Has the owner of the company ever been a distributor? (Important for understanding, what it's like to walk in the shoes of a distributor, will usually have the best interest of the distributor in back of their mind)

* Does your company have a duplicatable system that you can easily plug into? (should be able to explain to an 8 year old)

* Is the pay plan easy to understand and can you create synergy with it for team building (Must be rewarded for building deep - no stacking pay plans)?

* Is the business one that you could comfortably put your own mom or dad into?

* Does your company or up-line offer free training or support? (Stay away from companies that charge you for on-going training)

* Do you like who's sponsoring you and have they or their immediate up-line had success in the industry? (Test them before signing up by calling them. Make sure they get back to you in a timely matter, and that you like them. Don't let anyone ever high pressure you to join a company)

If you can answer yes to most of the following questions than you may have found a great company to get started with. If you would ever like to learn more about what I am up to these days you can visit my website at http://www.thehomebiz4you.com

The Top 4 Reasons for failure in Network Marketing

The reason most people fail in network marketing is pretty simple to figure out. Many have asked me why I believe people fail and here are my 4 top reasons for failure in a $120 Billion Dollar Industry.

Lack of Money

People simply aren't willing to make a financial commitment to their business. If you don't have a budget your business will suffer. Thankfully network marketing is way cheaper to support and get off the ground than a traditional business, but if you can't afford the bare minimum for at least a few months, while you are building your business, probably best to not join and go get a job.

Lack of True effective action or any action at all

I read a report recently where 1200 network marketers were interviewed. In the survey they found that millionaire networkers were making 50 phone calls per day, successful networkers were making around 20 phone calls per day, and average networkers were making less than 10. If you're aren't prospecting you have virtually no chance to make any money in network marketing as outside of retailing that is the only way we get paid.

Not having a steady flow of people to talk to

You're either cold calling, purchasing leads, contacting your warm market, or using attraction marketing to get targeted prospects to speak to daily. If you don't have people to talk to - you can't really build a business. Working with a leader who knows how to generate leads consistently is important to your success.

Lack of training and underdeveloped skills

You must develop some skill-set to do network marketing, fortunately if you can make the dials and get over your fear of rejection, use 3rd part tools and not try to close your prospects you are 80% there. Nobody likes to be closed here, that may work for timeshare sales or car sales, but it won't get you very far in network marketing, especially since we are dependent upon others taking action to duplicate US. The other skill-set you need to develop will come in time through leadership, and personal development to become a bigger better more attractive business person. Your business will always grow in accordance to how much you grow. Network Marketing should be easy and fun, but people are people, so you do need to develop some skills to be successful in network marketing. Starting out you need to simply just talk to people and use 3rd party tools to do the heavy lifting for you

Benefits of my coffee that contains Arabica Beans, Rubusta, Green Tea, Bacopa Monnieri Herb and Gotu Kola Herb


Arabica beans are actually seeds plucked from the cherries of the Coffea arabica plant and are one of the two types of beans used to produce a cup of coffee, the other type being robusta. Arabica beans have less caffeine, less acidity, more aromatic properties, and are considered to be the superior bean by many coffee drinking aficionados.

This is the bean used for the more expensive specialty and gourmet coffees found in the United States.



Green Tea

The secret of green tea lies in the fact it is rich in catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a powerful anti-oxidant: besides inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, it kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. It has also been effective in lowering LDL cholesterol levels, and inhibiting the abnormal formation of blood clots. The latter takes on added importance when you consider that thrombosis (the formation of abnormal blood clots) is the leading cause of heart attacks and stroke.

Researchers found that men who were given a combination of caffeine and green tea extract burned more calories than those given only caffeine.


Bacopa Monnieri

Bacopa monnieri plant is an Ayurvedic herb used in India for memory enhancement. Ayurvedic medicine has touted its cognitive enhancing effects for centuries. Bacopa herb commonly grows in marshy areas throughout India. Studies show that it has strong antioxidant properties, protects mental function in those with epilepsy who take the drug phenytion, while a study on rats showed administration improves learning skills.

Know its beneficial actions on brain, memory, mental deficiency, Alzheimer's disease, learning skills, anxiety, depression, stress, epileps and ADHD children.






Gotu Kola Herb


It has been used for thousands of years in ayurvedic medicine to improve memory and maintain a healthy central nervous system, and recent clinical studies support this tradition.

Gotu kola protects the blood vessels that supply oxygen to the brain, which helps increase the brain’s oxygen supply. Clinical studies have shown that gotu kola improves concentration; in one study students’ test scores improved after taking gotu kola. Gotu kola has also been shown to have a calming affect on individuals prone to anxiety, and may also be useful in individuals suffering from depression.

Gotu kola has also demonstrated an ability to improve the appearance of cellulite by increasing the body’s production of glycosaminoglycans, compounds needed to form the connective tissues that hold fat in place.

Glycosaminoglycans are also needed to strengthen the connective tissue that surrounds the veins of the legs, and numerous studies have shown that gotu kola is an effective treatment for leg pain and swelling in people that suffer from varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). Additionally, studies have shown that gotu kola lowers blood pressure, which may be helpful to both people with CVI and people struggling with high blood pressure.


Cardiovascular Benefits

Gotu kola protects the blood vessels that supply oxygen to the brain, which helps increase the brain’s oxygen supply.


Bacopa Effects On Brain Functions:


In a double blind randomized placebo controlled research study in Australia, at University of Wollongong, this ayurvedic botanical was found to be effective in tests for retention of new information.
