In marketing ourselves, our products, as well as our opportunities, it is sometimes difficult to get the word out a quickly as we would like. Social Media has certainly enabled many of us to get our names out into the public eye and if we provide real input and great content, people will notice and be attracted to us. It is simply a relatively slow process.  I am proud to be a team member with the Chews 4 Health company. Chews 4 Health ceratinly understands the power of branding! The have developed a unique marketing concept called “National Co-op Marketing” or NCM. While it is true a true network marketing company, the NCM concept allows the company to speed up the branding process. As a member of the co-op you can share in the increased sales of product while helping to grow the entire “network” of distributors. This benefits all team members. Even the ones that choose not to participate in the co-op benefit by the name recognition that happens.

Chews 4 Health started advertising on national radio, then direct mail to chiropractors, and yesterday had a segment on “The Balancing Act” (Lifetime TV) In July, there will be a 2 page ad in “Women’s Day” Magazine. Imagine how much easier it is to prospect for customers and team members when they have seen or heard about your product on radio, television, and magazines! 

Thanks to the NCM, Chews 4 Health, and especially Dr. Friedman for helping all team members to be more successful!

Chews to have a great day!

I don’t really have a clue where this list actually originated but it is attributed to the Anthony Robbins Organization. Regardless, here are 20 little notes that make a LOT of sense to me. Each one of these should probably be a separate blog post. (think I’ll start on that) Hope you enjoy.

ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

 
TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.. 

THREE. Don’t believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want. 

FOUR. When you say, ‘I love you,’ mean it. 

FIVE. When you say, ‘I’m sorry,’ look the person in the eye. 

SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married. 

SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight. 

 

EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone’s dreams. People who don’t have dreams don’t have much. 

NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it’s the only way to live life completely. 

TEN.. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling. 

ELEVEN. Don’t judge people by their relatives. 

TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly.

 

THIRTEEN. …. When someone asks you a question you don’t want to answer, smile and ask, ‘Why do you want to know?’ 

FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk. 

FIFTEEN. Say ‘bless you’ when you hear someone sneeze. 

SIXTEEN. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson. 

SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R’s: Respect for self; Respect for others; and Responsibility for all your actions. 

EIGHTEEN. Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship. 

NINETEEN. When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it. 

TWENTY.Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice. 

 

Until next time,

Michael

Unity. What can it do for you? First, we must be in agreement before we can accomplish anything! I believe that this includes our thoughts as well as our relationships with others. Over and over in the the Bible, when men came together as one, or when God and man came into agreement, miracles occured.  God himself realized that man could accomplish anything if they were in one accord. Just look at the story of the Tower of Babel. When God saw that men were working together to build a tower to heaven, he caused them to speak in different languages in order to create discord. No longer could they work together as one.

How does this affect us individually? Our thoughts are quite a difficult thing to tame. We believe in the Law of Attraction, but doubt slips in. We know the power of visualization, but do we really visualize? Only when our mind is in accord and all our thoughts are in unity can we generate the kind of change that we need to bring the things we want into our lives.

I am speaking to myself as well as anyone else that may read this. Let us all keep our thoughts on the prize and take away all doubt. Sometimes, this will require you to find different “friends”. Find a coach, mentor, or simply a friend that can help keep your thoughts in unison with your desires.

Until next time.

Several months ago, before our financial crisis had reached it’s peak, I happened to be on a conference call when the moderator made a statement that really got my attention. So much so that I wrote it down in my moleskine.  While this is probably not an actual quote, what I wrote down is this: “Only take in information that helps you reach your goals. Go on a low information diet.” I really wish I could remember who gave me this information because it has made a tremendous impact on me. Since I wrote it down, I have heard or seen the same recommendation nearly everywhere.  Most recently, it was in a blog by the publisher of Success Magazine Darren Hardy. Follow the link above for an outstanding article. My Pastor gave a wonderful sermon on why to limit what you take in.  If, by listening to the daily news, or reading the newspaper, or listening to talk radio, you get the feeling that the sky is falling, QUIT! Who says you have to watch an hour of news per day. Who says that it is imperative that you watch CNN every waking moment. Who says that your favorite talk show host has all the right answers! No-one, that’s who. As long as we take in this negative information, that’s what you will dwell on, and that’s what you will create in your life.

My personal philosophy over the last several years has been. “If something really bad is going to happen, someone will tell me about it.” Then I can get the details if I choose. There is way too much good in the world to concentrate only on the negative, and that’s exactly what the commercial news media is cramming down our throats. Again, my opinion is that, the news media has made this recession that we are in much worse than it had to be by creating a wave of panic and fear in our general population. Yes, we are in a recession, but we have had them before and we will have them again. It’s a part of our economic cycle. The Laws of Supply and Demand require them occasionally when supply gets ahead of demand. It is simply a fact of life.

If you beleive in the Law of Attraction, you will certainly agree with me on all these points. In order for us to attract the things that we want in life, that is what we need to concentrate on. That is nearly impossible when listening to too much negative information around us. Be thankfull.  Be full of gratitude! Look at what is good in the world instead of what is bad. This will certainly effect your personal life as well as your business life. Try to surround yourself with business associates that feel the same way and you will overcome this recession and in fact will grow through it. Remember, only take in information that is helping you to reach your goals!

Sorry to get on my soapbox but I needed to vent a little! Please leave comments. I always welcome hearing from my readers!

I’m not really sure how to preface this video. We all have challenges in our lives that make us grow. God sometimes has to trim us up to get us growing in the right direction. In growing your business, there will be times when you feel like giving up. In those times, sometimes we need a reminder that giving up should not be an option.

The law of attraction says that whatever you concentrate on you will attract. Do you concentrate on your failures or on your successes? I guarantee that Tony, shown in the video below, does NOT concentrate on his lack, but of his abundance. This is a wonderful testament to the power of human achievement and overcoming all odds. I hope you enjoy this message as much as I did. I’m an emotional person, but I dare you to watch and keep dry eyes!

 

Thanks for stopping by!
