Who is Jewl – Alternative Solutions

This past weekend I heard a great story that really brings home a key point we can all benefit from.  Have you heard of BUDs Training?  It’s Basic Underwater Demolition seal training.  As you know, our Seals go thru some very intensive training.  Well, in this case a seal had gotten injured and could no longer continue in training.  He became a postmaster on a Navy ship.  As the ship was about to leave port the mail was delivered in 2 huge bags about 4-5 feet tall, 2-3 feet around – so as you can imagine these bags were extremely heavy being stuffed full of mail.  This ex-seal, who was a very skinny guy, was observed carrying both these heavy mail bags at the same time.  He first slung one over his shoulder and then the other, upstairs, downstairs until he finally reached the mail room.  He was later asked, “Why did you put yourself thru all that, why not just do one bag at a time?”  He responded with, “Accomplish the Mission!”  His mission was to get the heavy bags of mail to the mailroom and that’s exactly what he did.  Nothing distracted him, there was no winning or complaining on how hard it was, he focused on his mission and got it done.

This is the same laser type focus we should have in “accomplishing our mission”.  The first step is to identify your mission.  Some of us have a few different missions.  For example, as one who home schools my kids, one of my missions is to give them the very best education.  I need to harness my energy, focus on the task at hand, and let nothing get in the way of me accomplishing that mission. 

Another mission of ours is to help people have successful home businesses so that they can have more time to do what’s important to them.  We are very focused on this Mission.  Our goal is to help people, and we can think of no better way then to help people live a better life, which involves lots of things. 

I would like to encourage you on your mission.  Ask yourself…

            1.  What is my Mission?

            2.  What steps do I need to take to accomplish my mission?

            3.  Then take out all massive action. (I’ll write on this more later)

Just think of where you would be if you had that same passion, drive, commitment, and focus as the sailor did on I must “Accomplish the Mission”.  Wow, close your eyes and see where that can take you!

I don’t know about you guys, but with homeschooling, running a home biz, managing my household, helping out at church, taking the kids to scoccer & girl scouts, mentoring other women – I need a boost to get thru the day.  You know with the lack of nutrients in our foods these days we need supplements to provide our bodies with the vitamins and minerals we need to run.Some people use energy drinks to get a boost. 

I can’t drink them, they make me too gittery.  Did you know a lot of them like Red Bull, Amp, Full Throttle have anywhere from 30-58g and higher in sugar.  A lot of that sugar count comes from High Fructose Corn Syrup.  So what does all the sugar do – it gives you an instant boost then BAM you drop like a rock.  Who needs that?  Also, not only energy drinks but also a lot of the foods we eat have High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS).  Read the labels!

Did you know HFCS is man-made from refining cornstarch and has a hugh impact on our bodies.  At least natural sugar signals our bodies “you are full”, HFCS does not so in turn you can eat more.  Can you guess the result of that?  HFCS can also elevate your triglycerids levels and upset the balance of important trace minerals in your body such as copper and chromium etc.

I found a great natural way to boost not only my energy but also improve my stamina and mental clarity.  It has No Caffeine,  No Stimulants and nothing artifical.  Matter of fact its full of vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids, fiber, super antioxidants, chlorophyll, herbs, phytonutrients, enzymes – as you can see just an 8oz serviing is packed full of nutrious ingredients that are good for you and naturally Boost your energy throughout the whole day.  Plus, don’t have time to drink it before you leave for work no problem – it comes in a very handy single packet you can add to water and drink it on the go!  It tastes great and gives me an abundant amount of energy for the whole day.

Yep, it’s true there is a Star amoung us…  My very own hubby.  I’ve talked about Atria before and I must say this is by far the very best Skin Care System we have ever used (and I’ve been getting facials since I was 19).  Our whole family uses it.

Well, Robert who was very reluctant to try it had such dramatic results in just 20 minutes he has made global headlines.    We were so stunned at how much of a difference there was, my dad snapped a picture.  We had no idea Robert would go global.  Atria is using Robert’s mug on their Global Wide Advertising Postcards.  There is absolutely no hype here – the stuff works! 

Here’s the front part of the card -

Pretty Cool!  And yes, Robert is hooked on it now.  Sometimes, you never know where the road will lead. Take action and anythng is possible!  Always, shoot for the stars!

Many of you have asked, so I thought I’d show you some more pics..

When I worked at Abbott Labs I had a certain way I had to dress – business attire.  It got expensive and time consuming – buying new dresses for during the week, dresses for special business functions, not to mention the time it takes to shop.  I don’t know about you, but shopping for clothes is not my idea of fun.  My kind of shopping is buying stuff for other people. 

 
As I was writing an update email to my team, I also was watching my hubby and some of our Team Leaders play in the ocean.  Why was I not in the ocean you ask… believe it or not I get too sea sick.  Diving is great, but on top of the water not so good. (smile)

Have a Berry Great Day!

Hey Guys,
I just had to share how blessed we are.  If you don’t have a home biz – get one!  Some of the things we get to do you just can’t do if your tied to a 9-5 job.  Don’t get me wrong, we do work hard for a few hours a week, but we also get to play hard as well.  Here are just a few pics of us Scubadiving and playing with the Dolphins.  Enjoy!

Well, here we are! Here some pics from our balcony – pretty cool!

       Life is good!

Hey,

Just wanted to let you know we’re getting ready for our Convention in the Bahamas. Yep, you heard me “Bahamas here we come”!

Ah, the beauty of this biz, you can play and work at the same time. I’ll post some pics when we get back.

Our theme this year is “Living The Dream”. Ponder that for a bit, then ask yourself “Are you living your dream?” If you are, that’s great! If your not – why? What’s keeping you from living your dream? Not enough time, not enough money, don’t know how, stuck where you’re at – you may have thought one of these or something eles that’s keeping you from living your dream.

There is a way for you to live your dream. When you really catch the vision of your dream and combine that with the right vehicle to get you there – you will be unstopable.

Don’t let the wave pass you by, hop on and ride it beyond your wildest dreams!

Consistency – what does it all mean?

When you were growing up did you ever hear your mom say “practice makes perfect?”  I find myself saying the same thing to my kids, and they say the same thing I use to say – “ya right” 

Why do we say “ya right”?  One reason I believe is because we are such a people of instant gratification.  If we don’t see results right then and there we tend to think things are impossible.  And all too often we never realize how close we are to reaching our goal.  We tend to quit too soon and never reach our full potential.

But there is hope, if we remain consistent in our efforts it will pay off.  Wow, mom was right.  Remember when you were trying to learn how to tie your shoes.  When you first started out you just couldn’t get it, it took forever, and then when you did get it tied it was so loose it came undone in a matter of minutes.  So often we find ourselves saying “mom, will you tie this I tried and I just can’t do it (or it’s not working)”.  Mom would say, “keep at you’ll get it”.  I don’t know about you, but I would get so frustrated when she would say that.  It would have been so much easier if she would have just done it for me (but that would not have been in my best interest). 

Oh, how that same concept applies to business.  Sometimes, we try it for a bit and it doesn’t work so we give up or complain to someone else “I just can’t do it, it’s not working” (sound familiar).  15 years ago when I started in this biz I found myself saying the very same thing many times.

For all you who are successful “shoe tiers” (smile), you know that when you keep at something and have the determination you’re gonna do it, you will achieve success.  The same applies in business.  When you keep repeating the successful steps that have been proven to work over and over you will achieve success.  Being consistent in actively building your business every week is key to your success.  All too often it is the little steps we take that lead us on the path of reaching our ultimate goals.

Consistency – try it, IT WORKS!

So, you say you have goals – are you meeting them?  Do you have just an end goal meaning “I want to make 10,000 a month”?

Would you like to accomplish your end goal quicker?

Here’s how –

1. Set up some Short Term and/or Immediate goals.  For example –
   1. Upgrade to an Income Earning Position
   2. Start exploring and learning your back offices and about your new biz
   3. Contact your Sponsor
   4. Start driving traffic to your site
   5. Get on Training Calls

1. Set Medium Term Goals –
   1. Designate time each week to work on your biz and stick to it
   2. Set monthly goals on how many new members you’re going to add
   3. Goal “B” dictates how much traffic you drive, so tie the 2 goals together
   4. Keep learning by being on Training Calls
   5. Set weekly or monthly appointments w/your Sponsor.  (they’ll help you build)

1. Long Term Goals –
   1. In my 3^rd year I want to be making 10,000 a month
   2. In 4 years pay cash for my dream house
   3. Help others become independently wealthy

Above is just a sample blueprint on how you can achieve your long term goals.  Another very important step is to reward yourself.  Rewarding yourself is a very key element to achieving your long term goals. 

Most of the time it’s easy to accomplish our short term goals.  Where we sometimes get bogged down is the time we’ve accomplished our short term goals and we haven’t met our long term goals yet.  This is why it is essential to have interim goals and to reward yourself for them.  For example, say you set a very easy goal of adding only 3 people to your new biz a month.  The month you achieve that goal celebrate it – treat yourself to something special (ice cream, a movie, dinner, whatever floats your boat and won’t break the bank)

By celebrating your smaller successes you will gain more excitement and momentum and before you know it you will have accomplished your long term goals. 

To Your Success!
