A Third Party Review Of YOR Health ? Is It A Good Business Opportunity?

Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

If you’re reading this review, chances are you’re searching for information on YOR Health. If you’re seriously thinking about joining YOR Health, it’s important to do your research so you know exactly what you’re getting into. In this review, I’ll cover the company’s background, the products, the business opportunity and what it takes to really experience success with YOR Health (and it’s probably different than what you’re upline is telling you).

First things first, YOR Health is a company that sells nutritional products through a network marketing business model. The company is headquartered in Irvine, California and is doing business in the US (including Puerto Rico) and Mexico. It was founded by Dennis Wong, a business man who started out in real estate before getting involved in network marketing. Along with Wong, YOR Health has a solid scientific and athletic advisory board. Currently, the company has an A- rating with the Better Business Bureau, which is a relatively good rating.

As far as their product line goes, YOR Health markets a complete line of nutritional and weight loss products. There are literally dozens and dozens of products that are geared towards helping people lose weight and get more healthy. Some examples of YOR Health products include meal replacement shakes, antioxidant products, various supplements and vitamins and energy products. YOR Health is involved in the manufacturing process which helps them maintain quality control. In addition, there are some clinical reports you can check out on their corporate website. It’s also important to note that some of their products were testing at Brunswick Labs, which is a very credible third party laboratory.

Now, let’s cover YOR Health’s business opportunity. You can join YOR Health by paying a distributor fee of , along with an initial product purchase. After your initial purchase, you’ll need to maintain a monthly autoship order to maximize the compensation plan. The compensation plan operates as a binary and allows you to earn income 7 different ways. All in all, there seems to be a fair balance of immediate and residual income potential. Assuming you can keep your team’s autoship retention high, you can potentially build a significant income.

In closing, YOR Health is a credible company with a solid business opportunity. They have a good management team, high quality products and a fair compensation plan. However, it will take more than that to succeed. Pitching your friends and family will only take you so far, and giving out product samples and talking to strangers will yield you minimal results. In order to build a sizable team that will pay you a significant residual income, you’ll need to be able to generate leads. If you can utilize an effective lead generation system in conjunction with your YOR Health business, you can be on your way to building a wildly successful business.

The Similarities Between Business Organizations and Psychology

By Michael P. Marshall, PhD

 

When one looks at a list of common psychology words, terms and phrases along with their definitions; and then attempt to apply these to business organizations; it is amazing how psychology applies to business organizations in a very direct manner.

Let’s review some common psychology words, terms, phrases and their definitions; and apply them to business organizations.

Get ready for amazement and a revelation that will create much personal thought and serious discussions with others.

 

Business Organization:                                                                                

Departments, functions, employees and staff not working together affectively as a team and not towards a single positive purpose and goal             (a ‘Mission Statement’ alone does not fix this)

Psychology Term, Word, Phrase  +  Definition:                  Dysfunctional

Inability to function emotionally or as a social unit

Not performing as expected

Affected by disease or impairment

Malfunctioning as a structure

 

Business Organization:

Major tasks and needed improvements rarely gets completed and often delayed with comments of ‘let’s schedule for next year’

When next year comes around, it is delayed yet again

Psychology Term, Word, Phrase  +  Definition:                  Procrastination

Procrastination is the counterproductive deferment of actions or tasks to a later time

A mechanism for coping with the anxiety associated with starting or completing any task or decision

 

Often producing stress, guilt, crisis and severe loss of productivity

Procrastination is often surrounded with issues of anxiety, low sense of self-worth and self-defeating mentality

 

Business Organization:

Customers, clients and markets not having a good understanding of a business organization or lack of positive feelings toward it, is often referred to as lacking brand and lacking positive brand awareness.

The business organization internally can be confused about themselves regarding purpose, objectives, value to market clients and customers, capabilities and more.

Psychology Term, Word, Phrase  +  Definition:                                  Identity Crisis

Losing a sense of personal sameness and historical continuity of some shared world image

Critical period in emotional maturity and personality development involving reworking and abandoning earlier ways

The turning point of a disease for better or worse

Time of intense analysis and exploration of different ways of looking at oneself

Balance of identity and confusion, leads to making a total commitment to an identity

 

Business Organization:

Not seeking out, recruiting, hiring and retaining staff and employees with the highest level of skills, knowledge and expertise that is available that then causes struggles and a lack of business growth in many ways.  Not building a team of individuals with the highest level of expertise that can be found

Psychology Term, Word, Phrase   +   Definition:                                Peer Group Influence

Peer groups are an important influencer throughout ones’ life

Peer groups influence and encourage attitudes, values and behavior

Peer groups can cause people to do things that they would not normally do, both positive and negative

A negative could be not being productive or exhibiting bad behavior that harms oneself or others

A positive could include being more ambitious, working as a team member, working hard to succeed

 

Business Organization:

It makes good business sense to hire staff and employees with the highest level of knowledge, skills and expertise.  This is what helps grow the business.

Often times, business organizations do not do so and you can hear employees comment about how the organization does not hire the most competent people that they should

This can be company-wide or focused on specific departments depending on leadership and management

Specific individuals in management in positions of authority may directly influence the hiring of staff well below their own level of knowledge and competence.  They may not feel good about the potential of hiring those with higher levels of knowledge, skills and expertise than their own.  They may feel that such higher skilled individuals are a direct threat to themselves for a variety of reasons.  This can happen both consciously and unconsciously but it usually is obvious from their actions and from the observations of others.

Of course, this hinders the business organization from growing and puts it jeopardy to struggle and fail

Psychology Term, Word, Phrase   +   Definition:                                Ego Defense Mechanism

The ego is one’s self image and who we believe ourselves to be

This can be positive and productive, it can negative and non productive or it can be misleading and non productive

It is how we look at the world and how we want the world to look at us

It directly interfaces with the world around us so it can be healthy and productive or it can be not so healthy and not productive

It directly influences our perceptions, good decisions and bad decisions

When there is a threat perceived to ones’ self-ego, we can react in a negative non productive way
This can happen to maintain our self-image

This false ego and protecting of one’s ego is often stimulated from an earlier loss or traumatic experiences

Psychology Term, Word, Phrase    +    Definition:                              Approach Avoidance

Conflicts, of something positive and the actual contact with that behavior

The tendency to flee or act defensively is stronger than the tendency to go forward

Conflicts occur when a goal has both positive and negative characteristics causing an individual to fear something that they desire

When the goal is far away, both positive and negative feelings about the goal are less strong

A pattern of approaching a goal or behavior and when getting close, then backing off and avoiding it

 

Business Organization:

Feeling that the business organization cannot grow, has low worth or value to the market and to customers and clients; and does not deserve staff and employees with high level of skills, knowledge and expertise that can help the organization to grow

Failing to be progressive and positive to grow the business

Psychology Term, Word, Phrase    +    Definition:                             Low Self-Esteem and Depression

Business Organization:

Feeling that they are the greatest and ‘the best’ no matter how wrong or lacking

Ultimate Online Business For 2010

Wednesday, December 29th, 2010

World famous Dr. Suzanne Gudakunst has just released her latest “shocker!” …

–> a complete Internet “health” business in a box!

You get a complete website that has a main product as well as up to 90 separate products that all center around breakthrough health products.

=> And where YOU can earn some really HUGE CASH!

It seems that Dr. Suzanne has really done her homework (especially for YOUR benefit!)

First she correctly determined that according to Forrester Research (which is perhaps the most powerful & accurate online research database to date!) “health-related” products and information is by far the most sought after things anywhere online.

Nope! — Despite what you might have thought, “sex,” “porn,” and “UFOs” are NOT the most searched for items on the Internet (but “health stuff” is hands down!)

Second, Dr. Suzanne’s “Top Secret Fat Loss Secret” shook the entire World with its release recently – and she’s even made a special lead-capture page that you also get central to this amazing site!

Why is this important?

Simple: because Dr. Suzanne’s affiliates are making millions right now with what is perhaps one of ClickBank’s HOTTEST products (and this same product is the central seller at your new health e-Biz site!)

Third, the site you get also acts as a “database” that never stops growing so that you get 10,000′s of customers you can continue to sell to over and over again other things!

Why is this important?

Again, very simple: anyone who’s wise online knows that “backend” sales are chief to making long term and extra profits!

Dr. Suzanne’s NEW “Health Biz In a Box” complete and fully-operational website you get for next to nothing contains an electronic “Automatic Sales Manager” (like a salesman robot – Ha!) built-in that works to upsell to your list over and over again so that you enjoy additional “automatic” income!

Fourth, Dr. Suzanne health-biz site also includes a complete health-related products Shopping Mall so that your site visitors stopping by are likely to buy at least 1 to up to 90 additional products creating instantly for you up to over a dozen other income streams!

This way you get the “most bang for your buck” so to speak!

As if all this weren’t enough, the fifth (and perhaps the very best) thing about this automatic seller is the tiny spokesmodel “Rachel” that literally walks out onto your Health-Biz site and guides your site visitors (like a tour guide) through your entire site and what it has to offer!

Dr. Suzanne carefully tested the site both WITH and WITHOUT “Rachel” and accurately determined that the addition of “Rachel” boosted sites sales by as much as 396% (meaning nearly 4 times as many sales!)

Dr. Suzanne believes that having the spokesmodel adds credibility as well as an informative approach to the site so that it generates a much higher “conversion-to-sales” ration at large.

And ALL these amazing features stand to make YOU very, very rich as you get all of them with your own “Health Biz In a Box” website!

If any of this floats your boat, then I highly recommend you get over to:

http://jayaus11.allinonehealth.com/

…and because rumor has it that Dr. Suzanne may put a ceiling on the number of these Internet “health-biz” sites she’s giving out in order to avoid everyone having one and risking market saturation.

Already people securing theirs have had nothing but great things to say about this:

“I’m so happy with mine! … Having this site professionally set up by Dr. Suzanne’s Team for us was the greatest thing we ever did! … the site literally is just pouring money into our pockets even while we’re doing other things, vacationing, and even crashing out!”
-Cynthia Conrad, Atlanta, Georgia

“I never knew that making money online could be so easy!”
-Richard Bosworth, SLC, Utah

“Health stuff is the real way to make money online easily … everybody sooner or later has to have it!”
-Carla Dupree, Boise, Idaho

“I’m making about ,000 a week with mine … and this after failing on the Net for nearly 10 years trying to sell everything else!”
-Jason Herman, San Dimas, CA

“0 a day is what this biz is shoving in my pocket! I even went out of town for nearly two weeks and my health biz site completely ran itself!”
-Michael Sorbowski, Mason, Ohio

As you can see by these people’s comments, everyone grabbing their own automatic health-products Internet business is raking in the cash! (And now you can too!)

Just grab yours now simply by going to:

=>> http://jayaus11.allinonehealth.com/

I guess I should have added above that not only do you get all the things I’ve described thus far, but you also get professional customized set up at no extra charge!

That’s right! – Dr. Suzanne’s own Team of web experts actually build your “Health Biz” for you so you don’t have to!

They:

- design your site
- put all the 90 income streams into place
- install the electronic sales manager for you
- add sharp selling graphics
- add powerful videos
- add several other webpages
- and a complete online shopping mall of health products!

All so that you can earn big income online and while you sell product that help people and that you can be very proud to sell.

So all in all this is perhaps one of the BEST instant online ventures worth your time.

Get your now before the ceiling number is reached and maxed out…

Are You Using Alliances To Build Your Therapy And Health Business?

Sunday, December 19th, 2010

Isn’t it amazing that it’s July already? The year is just flying by. Which means that it’s time to take stock and make sure things are heading where you want them to be.


Something pretty big to check is whether you’ve organised yourself any other businesses in your local area that you work with to send each other clients? They are called alliances or host beneficiaries and can be amaaaaaazing!


Basically alliances are other businesses that serve your ideal clientele but whose businesses aren’t competitive. So if you have a hair salon, you might want to work with a shoe store but you wouldn’t want to team up with a barber. Or if you offer specialist waxing, you might want to team up with the lovely restaurant on the corner but probably not the local laser hair removal clinic.


If you can find a business that can refer to you just ONE new client a week, it could make a WORLD of difference to your revenue (and to theirs if you also refer one client a week back to them!)


Let’s do the maths… If on average your clients come in once every 4 weeks and on average they spend on each visit… that means that over a period of a year, your clients are each likely to spend 0 with you.


And if your alliance business sends you just ONE new client like that every week, then you will add ,200 to your revenue (52 weeks in the year x 0 average yearly value of each new client).


Let’s do another example… lets say you do more intensive therapy and you see your clients once a week for about 12 weeks, then they are cured. Well, if that’s the case and your clients are spending lets say on each visit with you, then the lifetime value of each client is 0.


And if with this scenario you had 2 alliance businesses each sending you 2 new clients a month, then you’d be getting 48 new clients a year at a total value of ,320.


Isn’t that crazy! Imagine if you even had 3 or 4 businesses that you worked with? You could be booked solid within a few months.


Sooo… take a look and see whether you are working with an alliance business in your local area yet. If yes, what can you do to help them refer clients to you (ie give them some introductory vouchers to give to their best clients as gifts). If no, make it your mission to scout the local area and then pop in and introduce yourself somewhere.

Is GENASANTE a Legitimate Home Based Natural Health Business Opportunity or just another scam?

Saturday, December 18th, 2010

You say, “I’m scared hearing about all this recession talk. I have dreams, but the more I listen to the news the more I truly feel that my dreams will never be realized.

 

You’re not alone! If you’re like me (and I know most likely you are, because you have a pulse) you indeed have a right to be concerned about what’s happening these days.

 

Enter online marketing.  You say, “Yea right!  I tried that three times, and lost more money than I made.”  Same here.

 

In this article I would like to help you think through whether indeed Internet marketing really is for you. Maybe it is.. and maybe it’s not.

 

Let’s look at three questions, and I’ll answer them:

 

I will center my answers around the business I’m in.  It’s called GENASANTE.  But I am not going to give you a lot of hype in this article… just a lot of help.

 

1) Just what is GENASANTE?

 

I might answer this question by first telling you what GENASANTE IS NOT.

 

GENASANTE is not an illegal multi-level marketing gimmick; it is not an illegal pyramid scheme, nor is it really another one of those “opportunities” that your brother Fred wants you to take a look at. (You’ve already looked at three of his opportunities before, and you’re really quite annoyed with brother Fred right now).

 

GENASANTE is an automated, turn-key natrual health and wellness marketing system developed to promote a leading, high-profit direct sales business. Sounds complicated?

Actually, the most amazing thing about GENASANTE is its amazing simplicity and straight-forwardness.

 

The system is designed to allow anyone, regardless of technical know-how, age, experience, education or background, to plug in and have success. In my next article I’ll get into more of the specifics and features of GENASANTE; but it will suffice for now to know this… GENASANTE is truly a legitimate, people-caring, money-making business.

 

2) How can you know if GENASANTE is the right home based business for you? Because it may not be (sorry).

 

If you’re like most people, you have giant, splendid dreams. You have dreams that are so personal, so deep, and so real that you can almost see those dreams becoming reality. I’m not talking just of the dreams of financial freedom – but something greater than that. Only you can truly put a finger on your dreams.

 

But I can tell you this – the best way to make your dreams real is to WAKE UP!

 

That’s right – to wake up to the reality that in real life… there are no free rides. The best way to know if GENASANTE is the right home based business for you is to answer this question: “Am I looking for a “get-rich- quick” opportunity?”

 

If your answer to that question is a resounding “Absolutely!”, then this may not be the business for you. It’s a real business… that takes real commitment. But hey! No risk? No reward!

 

GENASANTE is made up of a community of people who care – people who not only care about making money (and you certainly can through GENASANTE), but more importantly, people who care about helping other people take those “giant dreams”… and making them a reality.

 

So if you’re that person who embraces not only your own dreams but dreams of others, GENASANTE might just be the right fit.

 

3) What is the absolutely essential ingredient that you must have to really succeed at home-based business?

 

Simple… have a mindset of being a giver…of being a helper. Without this way of thinking, without this attitude of leading others into their dreams, you must simply find another “opportunity”.

New Science-based Health Business GENASANTE By Mike Raphael

Sunday, December 5th, 2010

Humic acid… Moor Mud – Genasante is a new MLM company in prelaunch, with a focus on beauty, health, natural nutrition and wellness. Individuals will be able to start their very own home business by making use of the various opportunities it presents.

There are three different options available to individuals to join Genasante as a distributor or to buy products. The first option is to become retail customer. They would be able to order and use any of the products even without becoming a member. The option of becoming a member is open for them at any time in the future.

 

In the second option, they would have to pay a fee of .95 per year. The members would be entitled to 15 percent discount on all the products and will also receive special offers and promotions. They also have the option of upgrading to independent business owner at any time.

Independent business owner is the third option, which is available to people who wish to become a distributor. There are three different starting packages available and are priced at 9, 9 or 9. The member can opt for the package depending on their individual preference. If the member chooses the third option, they would be able to get a 40 percent discount on all products. They would not be required to hold any product inventory. There is also the business opportunity providing the potential to build long term residual income.

The MoorMax™ extract is created from a pure, rare, 18,000 year old Canadian bog and is a unique natural health nutrient containing highly-potent, highly-beneficial ingredients.

 

MoorMax™ is a complex mixture of over 85 organic compounds, which have properties proven to greatly benefit the regeneration of new skin cells. The MoorMax™ molecules penetrate the skin, are easily absorbed and act as an effective delivery system to help carry nutrients, to help regenerate cells and to help provide the following benefits at the cellular level:

 

* ANTI-OXIDANTS: Protect the skin from harmful FREE RADICALS and diminished signs of aging

 

* ANTI-INFLAMMATORY: Reduce redness and puffiness for a clear complexion

 

* NUTRIENT DELIVERY SYSTEM: Regenerate skin cells to reclaim youthful radiance

 

* ORGANIC NUTRIENTS: Repair damaged skin for plump, smooth and soft blemish-free and acne-free skin

 

* ASTRINGENT: Draws out toxins and impurities to deep cleanse pores and help support acne-free skin

 

There are five different ways to earn compensation through Genasante.

 

1.         Retail commissions – As a distributor of Genasante, products can be ordered any time and sold. They would be able to earn money as their products would be discounted and the difference they sell to the customer will result in profit.

 

2.         Fast start bonus – After a member becomes independent business owner, they would receive a 20 percent commission on bonus volume of any package on a weekly basis.

 

3.         Leadership Volume business – After reaching the associate level, the member becomes qualified to receive sales bonus for the purpose of building a team.

 

4.         Generational matching bonus 5 levels – As the members reach a higher level, they along with their team will be entitled to a matching bonus on a weekly basis. There are five levels, which the member can reach.

 

5.         Global leadership profit pool – Members who reach the rank of diamond, will be entitled to.5 to 2 percent commission from the global profit pool. They would also be able to receive travel benefits.

 

Genasante is a legitimate MLM business opportunity that has quality products and a fair compensation structure. Creating success as a distributor will require recruiting a considerable number of people and continuing this effort long term to counter the high attrition rates common in MLM.

 

Aviara MLM Review- How to Succeed With A Home Based Health Business

Monday, November 29th, 2010

 

The point of this article is to first give anyone considering starting a home based business with Aviara some basic facts about the company. Aviara is a new company concept that is still in the prelaunch phase and will be opening up for business in the US in the near future. The company will expand to other countries depending on the success of it’s official launch here in the states.

 

 

Is Aviaralife just another “fly by night” opportunity that will suffer under the weight of it’s competitors? Or will it’s management team succeed in making this company stand out from the rest of the health and wellness opportunities that exist?

And most importantly, what will it take for you to succeed in building a business in MLM when the competition is so fierce in this down economy?

 

The Aviara products are comprised of a daytime and evening regemine of health drinks. The daytime drink is made to give you all the energy that you need to get you through that busy and stressful day. The drink gives you that boost by providing a massive amount of anti-oxidants as well as anit-inflammatories. The nightly drink simply provides the same as well as a number of sleep aids such as melatonin.

The company management has recognized the fact that even home based business owners need health benefits, and has made plans to offer them to it’s distributors. But will this added perk add up to Aviara becoming a leader in the multilevel marketing industry?

The fact is that success with any MLM company truly depends on the ability of it’s distributors to effectively and efficiently find quality prospects to enroll in their business. But unfortunately, most if not all multilevel marketers are never taught how to develop the skill of finding quality leads.

Most are given company tools to promote their business to friends, family, and other associates in hopes of building a substantial residual income. But the sad fact is that a great majority of hopefull business starters never have any real success with the “old school” methods of marketing.

If a beggining distributor becomes part of the masses that have no success in their warm market, they have no choice but to approach what is considered the “cold market”. And unless you are extremely skilled in the cold market appraoch, this method can be a quick road to rejection after rejection. There are very few network marketers that have been able to have a considerable amount of success approaching complete strangers in their day to day routine.

So what other options do home based business owners incorporate into their “game” to find quality leads?

The answer is pretty simple…TECHNOLOGY.

There is a way to harness the power of technology in building a business with any MLM you choose to join.

 

In your day to day routine you have no idea of whether or not the people you happen to come within three feet of are looking for a business opportunity. It would be great if the ones that are would hold up a sign stating that they would “love to make extra cash”. But, of course that would only be in a fantasy land:)

But, there are a limitless amount of business seekers actively looking for the right business searching the internet daily.

More and more smart marketers are taking advantage of this fact and it is a must that you join them before too much time has passed and you find yourself left behind.

Start a Medical / Health Business Firm

Sunday, November 28th, 2010

It’s no secret that the United States has a nursing shortage, one that promises to grow to alarming proportions. Too many nurses are retiring, and too few are entering the profession. To compound the problem, within the next 5 to 10 years, over 76 million Baby Boomers are scheduled to retire from the workforce, with only about 44 million Generation X’ers available to pick up the slack. This will soon place unprecedented demands for services on a health system that is already stretched thin.

This shortage of allied health care professionals, especially nurses have a created a new boom to the nursing agency, nurse registry business, supplemental staffing agency for medical professionals, permanent placement medical recruiter, or starting a business in home care and staffing pool. The medical staffing industry will continue to grow because of the upcoming baby boomers, and the current supply of nurses is dwindling. The average age for nurses is in the forties, and they are not being replaced by the new generations. Entrepreneurs have made lucrative business in nursing agency, nursing registry, home care business, medical recruiter recruiting, or as independent nurse contractor in their own field.

The time is now for entrepreneurs to START A MEDICAL / HEALTHCARE BUSINESS FIRM, nursing registry business, operate a home care business, or as a medical recruiter or just become an independent health care contractor. By being an independent healthcare contractor, you are bypassing the agency and are self-employed. Health care facilities are the clients. All levels of government from local to federal level regulate home cares. Home care levels of regulations depend on the category of service provided to clients. Home care services ranges from providing just companions or the more medically needed clients such as terminally ill clients. Home care services can be in the form of social service, non-medical, and medical services.

Why Not Start A Health Business Now?

Start By Taking Care Of Business With Your Own Health

by Michael D. Hume, M.S.

The government forced through sweeping “reform” of the American health care system early this year, and though most Americans are not happy about it, it seems the “new normal” in U.S. health care is here to stay – at least for a while. Unfortunately, while the legislation may have been born of good intent, the prevailing thinking is that, over time, if not repealed, it will lead to mediocre (at best) government health care forced upon all Americans. The time is not too distant when you may not be able to get outstanding medical care in the U.S. at any price.

As a portent of things to come, consider the recent FDA decision to ban a breast-cancer medicine solely on the basis of its cost. Have you heard about this? Seems a major pharmaceutical company sank big bucks into creating this solution, and were successful in coming up with a medicine that was shown in all its trials to arrest the development of breast cancer. It ain’t cheap, though… over seven thousand dollars a month. Now, some people can still afford something like that… and there are charitable organizations which specialize in subsidizing use of medicines like this for those who can’t. Despite this, the government seems to have decided that “if everyone can’t have it, then no one can.” How does that not amount to rationing of health care, despite the government’s repeated promises that any talk of rationing by opponents of its reform plan was just political lunacy?

This is just a taste of what’s coming. The economic incentives offered by the free market that have inspired generations of people to go to medical school and to become brilliant pharmaceutical researchers have been removed. If the “reform” is left in place, it’s hard to imagine great new medicines and brilliant new surgeons being produced in America any time soon.

What does this have to do with your personal health? What can you do about it?

There are two things you can do to help prepare for the future of limited health care in the United States: get serious about your daily health habits (so you will postpone and diminish your personal need for medical attention), and think about starting a business related to health and vitality (to help others take personal responsibility for their own health habits).

I’ve discussed in previous articles the five key daily health habits I call The NEWSS: Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sleep, and Supplements. Ideally, you should follow a good basic nutrition program that works well for you – in my case, the low-carb approach has worked best of the many approaches I’ve tried. You need at least five good workouts a week, raising your heart rate to its aerobic target (around 80% of 220 minus your age) and keeping it there at least 15-20 minutes. It’s easy enough to keep track of the water you drink each day, and to make sure you get two liters (or about 64 ounces). Get a good night’s sleep every night – you need eight hours, even if you think you do well with less (remember, your goal is not to get through a hectic week or month, but to get a body that can last you many more weeks and months than it otherwise would). And you should supplement your nutrition with vitamins, minerals, and herbs that your body can’t get from today’s modern American diet.

Sound like a fundamental transformation of your lifestyle? Think about this: if you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got. In other words, if you want to change your health, you will have to change your health habits! But if a full program of The NEWSS seems overwhelming to you, start with small changes in each of the five areas. If you can’t buy a book and read-up on a full-blown nutritional program, start by cutting the garbage out of your daily diet. You know when you’re eating something that has no nutritional value… cut it out! It isn’t that hard to replace unhealthy munchies with fresh fruit or veggies, and your body will thank you years from now for whatever efforts you make in this area today. Can’t join the gym and work out every day? Try just taking a brisk walk or two every day. Buy a water bottle and count how many times you fill and drain it each day. Figure out how you can add just 30 minutes to whatever sleep you’re currently getting – start tonight. And when you drop by the store to get those celery and carrot sticks, pick up at least a good basic multi-vitamin.

The main idea is to adopt a mindset of personal responsibility. Don’t assume the government health care system will be there to take care of you… do what you can to take care of yourself! If you can’t go to medical school and perform your own surgeries (not recommended!), do what you can to forestall and prevent your own potential future need for surgery. You can’t make yourself live a highly-vital life forever, but changes you make today can certainly pay big dividends later in life.

Starting a business on the side is another way to take personal responsibility for your health future. If you start a health-related business, you will keep yourself focused on your own health, in addition to helping you protect yourself from other recession-fueling government “reforms.” Maybe you have a calling to go back to school and become a nutritionist, or a chiropractor, or a massage therapist… that’s great! But in all likelihood, it would be more appropriate to start a home-based internet business as a sideline to your regular day gig. You can get into an internet business for a fraction of the investment you’d need to open, say, a massage studio… and you can set your own hours and grow your business at your own pace.

There are many opportunities for health-related online businesses out there. I believe strongly in a liquid nutraceutical supplement that I’ve been using for years, so I became an online distributor for that product… and, since my company offers several other products, I’ve become familiar with some great stuff I never would’ve heard of if I hadn’t added that distributorship to my business. I have a strong sense of “mission” around helping other people discover great aids to their vitality, so for me, it’s not so much about the money (though many of the health-related online opportunities you’ll run into are, like mine, potentially very lucrative). What might it be for you? Do an online search and see what you come up with. Visit my web site as a thought-starter, and who knows? Maybe we’ll be partners.

Americans traditionally have been great at adapting to whatever conditions present themselves. The American way to adapt is through entrepreneurship, individual effort, and personal responsibility. Like many U.S. citizens, I’m hoping (and voting) for a change in the government’s current course of action regarding health care… there are many better ways to reform our system than those put forth so far. But change is far from certain. In the meantime, I think the time is right to take charge of your own vitality. Play it right, and you’ll end up with a healthy body, and a healthy bottom line too.

 

Critical Secrets For the Natural Health Business Seeker

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010

So here you are again (can you believe it?) looking for another online home base Internet marketing opportunity… and one that’s not the SCAM you got into last time.

You may be saying to yourself, “I can’t believe I’m doing this again!”

“I can’t believe I am looking AGAIN at yet another one of these “Super-dooper…This Will Make You Rich!” online business opportunities!”

 

“Do I have stupid written across my forehead?”

“Boy, am I glad no one knows that I am actually reading an article about online marketing!”

 

You’ve probably scoured the Internet looking for the Perfect Online Home Based Business. You’re about ready to give up… “Should I give it one more shot? Or should I believe this is all a scam? or maybe just not for me?”

I found what I believe to be that perfect online business.  And I want to tell you why I believe GENASANTE is the absolutely perfect online business.

No hype… I just want to give you hope that there is INDEED the perfect online “stay at home” business out there.

(Actually, the vehicle to drive is right before your eyes… called a computer.)

Rather than give you a lot of hype about the online business that I’m doing, I simply want to road map you to 3 essential considerations:

1. SUCCESFULL PEOPLE

Look for a business where people before you have had “SUCCESSFUL RESULTS”…and who are willing to unselfishly share their success secrets with you.

In other words, find a business that is easy to duplicate…easy to COPY. A business whe you’re not having to from scratch – having to reinvent the online marketing wheel.

YOU NEED AN ONLINE BUSINESS THAT HAS THE FOLLOWING:

Follow closely!

Personal selling, convincing, and explaining: ELIMINATED!

 

Cold calling, selling to your friends and family: ELIMINATED!

 

Long learning curves, frustration and struggle: ELIMINATED!

 

Mickey-Mouse home based money games: NEVER AGAIN!

 

Why would you want to subject yourself to these worn out marketing techniques?

 

Look for business where people are willing to give of themselves in helping you succeed. RUN AWAY FAST from any business with you just want you to sign up, by some leads, talk to your family and friends, pat you on the back and say good luck.

 

2. PASS-ON-ABLE

Look for a business that is “PASS-ON-ABLE”… in other words a business that you can ACTUALLY do. But also that you can easily help others to as well. A business that you can feel confident in sharing with other people …knowing that if they will simply COPY what you’ve done — they will be successful as well.

Find that online home based business where it’s not all about “you”… but rather about helping others fulfill their grand dreams as much as you.

3. BUSINESS WITH INTEGRITY

Look for a business where you sense that the top leaders of that business have a sense of integrity, uprightness, and decency. A business that has as their number one priority — helping people carry out their most personal dreams. a business whose value system is top notch.

The 3 Secrets:

SUCCESFULL AND HELPFUL SPONSOR
PASS-ON-ABLE
BUSINESS WITH INTEGRITY

 

That it!  Without these essential you might as well forget about being sucessful at making money online.
