So, why on earth would anybody want to join your business?  I don’t know about you, but everyday, I hear about all these new companies that have “amazing opportunities”, how hot their comp plans are, what country the exotic ingredients that make up the juices (I used to be a rep for Zrii) or pills [...]

OK, the title of this posting may sound silly, but I think this makes at least some sense.  When I was in Brazil a few weeks ago visiting family, I got really sick and had to go to the hospital and when I was there, I found out that I was an anemic.  Because of [...]

I have not one, but many inspirations for pursuing my business.  However, this one needs to be mentioned.  One day, after work, I stopped for lunch at this Italian restaurant that I sometimes go to and as I was leaving, there was a nice yellow Porche Boxter parked beside my car.  Now I like 911′s [...]

I decided to become a network marketer.  Unlike many successful business owners, I never had the privilege of coming from a well-off business family because I come from a hard-working family of employees who’d work their tails off at their J.O.B.’s (Just Over Broke).  Money and time were always issues and the normal thing to [...]
