Make your Savings work For you

Interest ratesRecord low interest rates in the UK is causing a headache for savers. Keeping money in the bank with a paltry return is questionable, yes your money is secure but it will produce little growth.

You could of course take a risk and invest in stocks and shares, which despite the Britexit are still performing well but are you prepared to risk you hard earned savings.

I am something of an entrepreneur and in the last few months have been experimenting by using some of my savings and purchasing a diet product online and then reselling it at a profit on the likes of Ebay

Unlike most MLM products this one is priced at a level the market can bear and allows for a small profit after taking into account packing, posting and delivery cost. I purchase the product for $500 and for every $500 I spend I make $65 or 0.13% which compares favourably with the 0.01% I would receive from my bank.

Many people, myself included, are wary of joining an MLM which have a bad reputation due to high costs and the real possibility that the products are too expensive and are difficult to sell to even friends or family.

 

The company has a great compensation plan and in the first month I received $100 bonus.

The weight loss Coffee also produces results for its customers

My first exposure to this coffee was about three months ago.  Before I had never heard of such a product but apparently there have been other attempts from other companies that didn’t do so well.

A good indication that a weight loss product is not effective is when you are encouraged to eat and exercise differently.  Not that there is anything wrong with that advice but you will lose weight anyway doing that.

So when I found out this coffee had no extra suggestions for its use other than drink it everyday I must say I was intrigued.  So I tried it and I found it to be very effective at assisting you to lose weight.  I say assisting because this product doesn’t contain any unknown magical ingredients it’s just formulated very well.

The main ingredient that gets results in the coffee is garcinia Cambogia.  A supplement derived from a fruit called tamarind.  It effectively kills your appetite especially if you have it first thing before eating anything else.

So my results went like this.  I lost weight on average every week for four weeks at about 5 lbs per week.  I plateaued at 185 in about six weeks and began to think the ride was over.  But I think maybe because I do some exercise (I attend Krav Maga classes once a week) I may have been gaining muscle mass while I was slimming down.  I also noticed my waist shrunk down about three inches.

You will find in testimonials that different people will have different results.  I think the body has its set point where it just won’t lose weight anymore and me being 5’9 perhaps healthy for me is around 185 lbs.  The point is my waist is smaller and I don’t mind being in public with my shirt off now because I shed most of the fat that made me feel uncomfortable.

So I still use this coffee daily just to maintain my current weight and it is very effective.  I have seen testimonials of people losing up to 55 lbs!  My guess is they were pretty obese.  I was not terribly overweight I just needed something to keep me comfortable.

Markethive and Valentus: Organic Leads and Coffee Partnership

Image result for markethive 

The apex of automated marketing blogging platforms and “weight losscoffee” known as Valentus Slim Roast are ready to launch; however, only those who recognize this unique opportunity are really wanted.

Au Naturale, Markethive and Valentus have joined forces to create a symbiotic relationship between two business entities that are fed up with traditional MLM Industry.  Yes, Marketing & weight loss Coffee are about “empowering both the little guy and gal” to market and sell a product the World consumes daily only after water.  Try going 72-hours without H-2-0 and watch your body breakdown.  Guess what, people feel the same way if, they don’t have their “daily fix” and react like they’re going through withdrawal. 

The Digital Age is here and entrepreneurship continues to explode thanks to technology and those innovators who embrace risk, while providing a solution to a problem.  Guess what you’re one of them because you became a renegade and willing to face the unknown, while incurring the costs in business.  Respect is given to you but, not the industry (MLM), due to its dubious reputation and need for change.     

Yes, it’s time for a change because MLM doesn’t have the best reputation as indicated by the recent Consent Decree Settlement between Herbalife and FTC .  Hey, $200 million dollars isn’t chump-change and sends a message to the industry that “product and consumers” must exist and not “product and distributors”.  Yeah, verification will be needed in the future and old business models will no longer be accepted unless, they can prove that their product is being retailed to the masses.  Guess what, old methods of marketing like “Outbound Marketing” are increasingly ineffective in generating sales and more importantly, establishing a trusting business relationships between consumers and proprietors.  New business models and new marketing methods like “Inbound Marketing” have emerged and increasingly becoming the norm because educated consumers like Millennials, who have purchasing power of $200 Billion dollars are sick and tired of being sold. Yes, these kiddies are tech- savvy and research everything before digging into their debit/credit-cards (nobody uses cash, anymore) and if, your product or service doesn’t address their needs or resolve a problem then, they happily tell you, “hit the bricks”.  Well, if you want to avoid the proverbial MLM Cemetery for Dead Dealers who, operate a Non-Profit Agency then, you better embrace “Customer-Centricity”, like the industry leader Amazon.     

Yes, in the Digital Age of Technology for a business to succeed then, it must embrace the idea of the customer being the priority and less so, shareholders, which is a revolutionary concept among corporate profiteers.  However, Amazon valued at $230 Billion dollars realized that success was centered upon "focus relentlessly on our customers."  Needless to say, title of World’s Largest retailor isn’t by chance.

So, do you want to be part of the “customer-centricity’ trend and be at the forefront of a new era of Ecommerce where relationship building is key to creating a WIN-WIN for both owner and customer.  To learn more I invite you to rcontact me.

See You At The Top

See you at the top of what?

We hear it said by people in Network Marketing all the time, "See you at the top!" Top of what? A mountain, a building, life, what? We all know what they mean but does it ever happen? Are they hollow words?

How many network marketing companies have you joined looking for the big hit? I am sure you have heard this before but I'll say it again, the big hit formula has to be in place for you to get the big hit? Only when you find a company that you like and can talk to others about will you rise to the top in the company. Passion is one of the ingredients that motivates anyone to become great, thus when they have passion they will move mountains to get to the goal.  Formula: Passion + Feelings + Emotions = Big Hit

So, you are probably asking "How do I find a company that I have passion for?" It's easy! We as human beings are driven by feelings and emotions and when things feel right we become emotionally invested. In looking for a company we need to find one that emotionally charges us up, and we have good feelings. 

It's like falling in love with your significant other. Are you in love, or in love with being in love? Are you in your network marketing company because someone else presented it to you and you fell in love with it because someone else was in love with it, or are you in love with it because it turns you on all the time?

I recently found a new company that totally turned me on and I fell in love with it. To top it off, when I told my wife about it she fell in love with it, [My wife has never liked any network marketing company I have ever been with, she just tolerates them. But she loves to cash the checks they generate.] This new company has me excited all the time, and its easy to talk to others about. 

When you look for a company that will be your guide to riches, you want one that you can easily talk to others about. If you find any hesitation about presenting your product you are in love with being in love, and not in love with the company. It's like a movie you have recently seen that you like, how easy is it to recommend to others? But if you don't like the movie you will not recommend it or never mention it. 

How do you know when you find the right company? Well as I said it's, emotion and feelings, that will be an indicator. But here is another way to tell. It's like the new company I was telling you about, I kept looking at the company and saying to myself,"There is no way that this pay plan can be so lucrative." "How long can this company be around paying out so much money?" And so it goes, I kept asking all these silly questions trying to kill the opportunity. I was getting in my own way!

Finally, It dawned on me, I was trying to remove a path to get to the top. I was doing what many people do, getting in my own way, and finding reasons why my high emotional levels we false. It's like a love affair with one foot out the door. I was looking for a reason why it was not going to work, and as long as that goes on it will never work.

Finally, I just said, "If the the worse happens, Oh well!" So I joined and am having a ball! It's just fun!

Ariving at the top only happens when the top is in sight, when you can actually see the path. Remember, we do things based on feeling and emotions and when we are emotionally charged up about what we do we will soon have the vision and image of how to get to the top. Vision is what you are able to see in your minds eye. You know that you are on the path and will not waiver from it. This article is written through a program that was developed by a friend of mine, and when he got the vision for Markethive he never wavered until it came to reality. He could see it in his minds eye.

So when people say, "see you at the top" I always ask the question "have you seen the path to get there in your minds eye?" Do you know how to get there? I personally want to know, if you know! As I have written in this article, you will know based on your feelings and emotions about what you are planning on doing. Your internal guide is, how do you feel emotionally. 

By the way if you want to know the company that I am so charged up about  click here and take a look. 

Thanks for reading,

FTC and The New Age In Network Marketing

I recently did a Podcast on the "FTC and The New Age In Network Marketing".

There is a coming change in the Network Marketing Business Space and you should be aware of it. 

As an economist I have always wondered where network marketing went wrong. I think its the greed factor that forced the network marketing companies to focus on getting distributors instead of getting customers. No business can survive financially by having more distributors than customers and I explain this in my podcast.

Collaboration Grows Businesses- Entrepreneurial Success

Collaboration is a key to growing any business. Getting leads is the desire of any business owner.

Any entrepreneur worth his or her salt will welcome collaboration with open arms, The key to major growth in any business or venture is collaboration. There are many examples of successful collaboration in developing new products and services, here are a few that are extremely successful.

Have you ever hear of Wikipedia?

Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia, written collaboratively by the people who use it. It is a special type of website designed to make collaboration easy, called a wiki. Many people are constantly improving Wikipedia, making thousands of changes per hour. Their goal is to make sure the information is pure and factual. Many are working as one on Wikipedia. 

Have you ever heard of CERN? 

The name CERN is derived from the acronym for the French "Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire", or European Council for Nuclear Research, a provisional body founded in 1952 with the mandate of establishing a world-class fundamental physics research organization in Europe. At that time, pure physics research concentrated on understanding the inside of the atom, hence the word "nuclear".

Today, our understanding of matter goes much deeper than the nucleus, and CERN's main area of research is particle physics – the study of the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces acting between them. Because of this, the laboratory operated by CERN is often referred to as the European Laboratory for Particle Physics.

Thousands of people around the world are collaborating together to make sure the science is pure and concise. Collaboration in the CERN model is the same with the wiki model except the collaborators are selected specifically for their skills. 

Have you ever heard of MARKETHIVE?

Markethive is a collaborative effort of entrepreneurs who are working together to assure that each entrepreneur gets their information into the hands of the public. One of the main problems that an entrepreneur has is that unless they spend huge sums of money they can't be heard. This is no longer a problem! Now through Markethive the entrepreneur can make sure that what they have to say gets heard by the right people.

Through the collaboration of many Markethive entrepreneurs, when a member wants to get their message out to others, each member pumps the information through their individual social networks reaching thousands or hundreds of thousands of people in just the click of a button. 

Years ago when the internet was in its infancy many people who had huge email networks of people would joint venture with each other, which still goes on today in the form of Solo ads, to reach massive audiences and would charge each other money or some kind of monetization to make this attractive. The playing field was not level since the lonely entrepreneur could not afford it or perhaps didn't have a large email list to share with others.

Markethive has leveled the playing field and put together a system where any member can leverage other members, and get them to push their information to other individual social networks, reaching people that they never dreamed they could reach before. Markethive has various levels of participation that enables the entrepreneur to grow as their business grows. The higher the level the more leverage the entrepreneur has and the more assets they share. 

Now, the information has to be pure before any member will push out someone else's information since each member has their own reputation to protect. Each member must want to share each others information, so a new member quickly learns what type of information the existing members will share with their personal social media. 

If Collaboration interest you just Click here and see for your self. Markethive is free to use and experience.
