Update (September 21-October 20)

Well I'm a little late with this update and I do apologize. I'm taking a break from my business to do a little more of taking care of myself. I noticed I was on the computer, but not accomplishing the things I needed to do for my business.

It seemed a lot of time was being wasted and I was just becoming more frustrated and uninterested. When I get back to business full swing I will set a time to do the important tasks and do it all in a certain timeframe so I am not wasting all my time doing nothing.

I came to a stand still and didn't know what direction to turn. There is so much to do or learn that I think it just made me have a mental block and I couldn't figure out what to actually do. Once I figure out where I want to go and what I want to do, I will get back on track and start earning some money.

Here are my stats for the month: PIPS Newsletter sign ups: 22; SFI 16; Golden Ticket Prospects 7; My Tru-Infinity Prospects 10

As you can see from my stats, there is not much activity going on as of now. Things will turn around once I get back to working on my business very soon.

Update (August 21-September 20)

This month has been a slow one. My motivation is lacking for some
reason. I need to get inspired and start putting more effort into
my home business. My stats for this month include:

PIPS Newsletter sign ups: 25; SFI 20; Golden Ticket Prospects: 21

I have been using safelists, Traffic Exchanges, Classified ads,
putting up flyers, posting on forums, a little bit of blogging. I
have to step up my game!

I started on a new supplement that was released in August from the
Health & Wellness company I represent. I am a Shaklee Independent
Distributor and use their products. I love all of the ones I've
used so far.

The new supplement is a cellular anti aging tonic. I have been
taking it for about 18 days. The effects are wonderful so far. I
have noticed a marked improvement in my energy level. It's not a
jitter energy though, it's just a normal feeling of being able to
do the things during the day that I want to do without feeling
weak and tired.

It was hard for me to get up in the morning and get on with my
day, but now it's a lot easier and I don't crash mid day. I even
started exercising again and I walk my kids to school every day
and walk to pick them up in the afternoon.

My back pain has improved. I had abdominal surgery almost a year
ago and it was still affecting me, but since using this supplement,
I have been noticing a lot of improvement and don't feel the pain
when I move certain ways.

I sleep better and fall asleep quicker, even though I need to go
to bed earlier! Considering I go to bed too late, I can still get
up in the morning without much trouble, unlike before. Sometimes I
even wake up before the alarm, which would never happen before.

My mom and dad are on it also and they have noticed a great
improvement too. Their energy level is way up and my dad is
feeling less pain. In April he had his leg amputated due to a very
large Sarcoma high up in the thigh. He had a full hind quarter
amputation and he found it difficult to sit up in the morning
without feeling pain. It has improved significantly since being on
this product.

I just so happens that today my mom told my sister that this
product was on Fox 2 news. I didn't see it though unfortunately so
I can't tell you exactly what was said. It must be an awesome
product if it making the news though!

I can't wait to see what else is to come.

Take Care and Go Green,

To Succeed in Your Home Business, You Must BELIEVE!

Here is a motivational reading I would like to share. A woman on my Shaklee call shared this with us and I wanted to pass it along. Enjoy!

To Succeed in Your Home Business, You Must BELIEVE!

All kinds of people make the decision to work from home, and it is
possible to be successful no matter where you come from or what stage of life you are in at the time. Whether you come from wealth or poverty, whether you're educated or not, whether you're young or old…you can find a business that is right for you, and you can be successful.

However...*in order to be successful, you must believe!*

Believe in yourself and believe that you can succeed in your business. If you begin your journey into working at home with doubt, your work is surely doomed. On the other hand, if you believe that you are doing it for the right reasons and that you have what it takes to succeed…then indeed, you will!

Tell yourself this, and repeat it often:

•I believe in myself.
•I am a successful work-at-home business owner!
•I believe that my work is significant for my family, myself, and others.
•I can and will succeed in my business.
•I will not quit.
•I have what it takes.
•I believe.

Live into the knowledge that you are what you want to become, and you will get there!

Update (July 21-August 20)

The end of summer is approaching and the busy time of internet marketing is near. It's exciting because the work that is put in during the summer months will pay off in the fall.

I've been spending time submitting to link directories, article directories, blog posting, safelist advertising, clicking on TE's, posting in forums and submitting classifieds.

This months update is about the same as last except I will start to include how many subscribers I get from people filling out the form on my Golden Ticket website.

Here are my stats for the month:

PIPS Newsletter sign ups: 32; SFI: 20 with 2 upgrades; Golden Ticket Prospects: 30 (a few have since opted out).

I started a new blog for my Shaklee Business which you can view by clicking the banner below. I had to edit it a bit since we cannot name the products. Not a problem, I just edited it and it's fine. It's amazing to see my posts hit #1 in Google after less than an hour.




That's it for now!

Update (June 20-July20)

Another slow month. It's cool getting notices of sales through Traffic Payouts or Click Bank though.

I have been concentrating a little bit more on my Shaklee business. I ordered some Golden Ticket Movies so I can give them out to people or send them to people who request them on the internet. It costs them $7.95 for the shipping & handling.

The movie explaines Shaklee and the business opportunity and is very informative and exciting. To see the earning potential is very exciting also, especially when I know someone personally who is making money with them. I have already earned checks 4 out of 5 months that I have been with them. It's not a massive amout, obviously, but it is encouraging!

Here are my stats for the month:

Newsletter Signups: 33; SFI: 8; Shaklee: 4 placed in my downline; 2 Traffic Payout Sales

I have been submitting my site to directories, posting classifieds, posting on forums, blogging, article submissions have slowed.

Update (May 20-June20)

This month has been slow, to say the least. I haven't been doing the activities that I should be in order to build back links and get more traffic to my site.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still doing something almost every day, but I should be doing more.

In the PIPS Power Group Forum there is a contest going one for summer. The one with the most improvement will win the prize. The members there are doing well and I wish I was doing as well.

I have been submitting my site to link directories, surfing traffic exchanges a bit (not nearly enough), submitting articles to directories (I have to get writing some more), blogging a little bit and participating in forums.

Here are my stats: Newsletter signups: 70; SFI: 12; Shaklee: 8 in my downline since joining Feb 22 (this has earned me a check 3 out of 4 months). Since my last update I've had people drop out of PIPS or let their credit card decline for the hosting, so that means I'm down to 2 PIPS signups again. It's too bad that people think this business is going to bring them instant riches! Oh well, on to the next.

I just try and remind myself that if I want this business to bring me success, then I have to put the work and effort into it!!

Shaklee

Today I feel the need to write about an awesome company that has been in business for over 50 years. This company stands behind all their products with a money back guarantee and have had their products featured on shows like Oprah, Good Morning America, Rachael Ray, Today and several others!

That company is called Shaklee! Shaklee's products are no joke. I just started using their products at the end of February and wonder why I didn't start sooner. You see, my sister has been using Shaklee for over 2 years but I didn't think the products would be any good, even when my sister would tell me what they have been doing for her and her family.

I have not used all their products yet but I plan on trying everything at one time or another. So far I use the cleaning products, Nutriferon, Stress Relief Complex, Vitamins, Children's vitamins, parfume and skin care line. I just ordered Cinch to try and lose a few inches, so we'll see how that goes.

I'm telling you from the bottom of my heart, these products really do work. I'll give a little testimonial about a couple things.

Nutriferon: This is my favourite. I take one a day (recommend 2) and since I've been using it, at the beginning of March, I have not been sick. Twice one or two of my chilren and husband had come down with colds. I doubled up the morning I felt a sore throat coming on. After that, I didn't get anything, not even a sniffle! Then when I was in Toronto, when my dad was in the hospital, my sister and mom came down with a wicked cold. I woke up feeling like I was going to get it full blown. Guess what....nothing after that! I am still amazed!

Lets talk about Scour Off. This is a cleaning paste that smells like bubble gum. It is used for ovens, soap scum or anything that is hard to get clean. I used it on the range hood above my stove. I burn candles and I had a black soot-like residue that would not come off. I didn't want to use an SOS or scrubber because I didn't want to scratch it. I got my Get Clean order and tried the Scour Off on it! It came off without even trying!! I have pictures to prove it lol! Amazing!

The Basic H2 is great for everything from wood to glass to bathrooms. It's super concentrated so you only need a small amount. Get this, one bottle of Basic H2 will make 5000 bottles of window cleaner! You only need 2 drops in a bottle of 16oz of water!!

The only way to know how these products work is to try them, you won't regret it. Get a hold of me if you want to try these products at gogreen@taram.ws

Take care!

Monthly Update

Life likes to throw twists and turns at us along the way and that is what has happened to me recently. As in my last post, my dad has been ill and it's a difficult time.

I have been spending minimal time on my business due to being in Toronto for 2 weeks and being at my dad's house since he's been home. He got home a week after I left.

It ended up that my dad's cancer led him to have to have his leg amputated. He came home for a week or so and now he is back at the hospital for rehab. He will spend a month or so there so he can become somewhat ambulatory.

Despite this difficult time and uncertainty my business still moved on. I didn't do too much with it but I still got subscribers and signups here and there.

Here are my stats from April 6 - May 20, 2008: Newsletter signups: 91; SFI: 15; Empowerism: 1; Host4Profit: 1 (full PIPS); 1 Clickbank sale

My Shaklee referral was removed due to not paying and no working email.

Even when life gets in the way I don't plan on giving up my dream of making enough money with my home business to provide a better life for my family. Don't ever give up!

Personal Ups and Downs

The best thing about a work at home business is that when personal issues come up I don't have to worry about taking time off or explaining to a boss what's going on.

The business may have a little down time but I know I can get it going again when I get working and putting more effort into it. That has been the case for a few weeks here.

My dad has been ill and having a lot of pain for the last 4 months. We just found out he has a cancerous tumour on the bone in the upper thigh:( It's been a stressful and sad time for us but we will get through it.

We are waiting for the doctor in the city where he may get surgery to do his testing so he can treat him. In the meantime we are just trying to keep his pain under control, which is not easy. I hate seeing my dad in this condition.

Ok, here are my stats from March 6- April 5: Newsletter signups: 37; SFI: 8; Empowerism: 1; LAB: 2; Traffic Swarm: 2; Host4Profit: 1 (full PIPS); Shaklee: 2 placed under me and 1 referral, but has not paid for his order yet, so not sure what his plans are.

Take care everyone and good luck with your business ventures!

Work at Home Business Opportunity

You may be wondering where to turn in order to find the perfect work at home business. Finding the right one requires a little research to make sure it is legitimate and has a reasonable compensation plan. If you choose a company to become an affiliate for you need to make sure that company is stable and has the products that you can trust.

I have found a company and products that are not only stable and legitimate but actually work. The company is over 50 years old and does not show any signs of slowing down any time soon. This company is located in the US, Canada, Malaysia, Singapore, Mexico and Japan. Their products are non-toxic and safe for the environment.

I started using the products about 3 weeks ago. Three of my children have asthma and it was essential that I use products that were safe for them. I just wish I would have done it a very long time ago. My 10 year old son was using his puffer pretty regularly in the last six months and so far has used it once or twice when I first started using these products. My other two have not needed theirs at all.

It feels so much better to be able to actually breathe while cleaning my bathroom and have to worry if my two year old daughter was going to come in. I would have to physically lock her out so she would not be directly exposed to those nauseous fumes. It did not matter though, because the fumes were still in the air even when the door was shut.

The company also has nutritional supplements that I have only heard great things about. My husband is using one of the products and has since noticed a difference in his energy level and has avoided any illness so far. I have just started with an immune boosting product so it will take a little time for me to notice any difference.

The next product I will be using is the skin care line. I am using the facial wash already and I love that so I’m sure I will like the rest of the line. The perfume is lovely also.

If you would like to know more about these products click here.

The most exciting thing about this new work at home business venture is the fact that, after only a few weeks, I have already earned bonuses and will earn commission off the people below me. That is the streamline sponsoring system that has exploded this business in the last few months. People earn money a lot quicker because the whole team works together to build each other’s businesses. The sooner you get in the sooner you start earning money.

Listen to this presentation to find out more about the streamline sponsoring system. Fill out the form in order to get to the second page to listen to the presentation.

You will not regret the decision to start a work at home business with this opportunity. I know I won't.

Good Things Come to Those Who Wait

It looks like that statement is true for me. In the last week or so things have really started to come together. There are a couple things I have been doing different that I can attribute to this change of direction for my home business.

I joined a mentoring group which has given very valuable information and tips on how to get my business on the road to success. I mentioned this group in a previous post. I've been getting more visits from the search engines.

I watched "The Secret" and really started to try to think positive and believe that I deserve success. I don't think I believe I can just wish for a car and it'll come out of mid air, but just believing in the fact that I can do this business and be successful will bring to me all the things I want in life eventually. In the previous months I was becoming negative and discouraged, even though I was not going to quit.

I've expanded my business with Shaklee and I'm looking forward to success with this also. My sister started a couple years ago but I never got into it until she really started making some cash lol. I'm glad I did though, especially using the non-toxic products since 3 of my 4 children have allergies/asthma.

My stats for this month go as follows: 21 newsletter subscribers; SFI 11; Empowerism 2; LAB 6; Traffic Swarm 4; Host4Profit 4 (3 being full PIPS signups); 1 member placed under me in Shaklee, which earns me a $50 bonus.

This is getting really exciting and I can't tell you how grateful I am to be able to be doing this for myself and my family.

Is Your Home Really Safe?

We would all like to think that our homes are the safest place on earth, would we not? The truth of the matter is that it really is not. The air in our home is usually more contaminated with pollutants than the air outside. We may wonder how this could be possible. The very products that are supposed to save us from illness may be the actual culprits that are making us sick.

When your child eats and leaves a mess in the high chair we may reach for the Lysol to disinfect it and make it as clean as possible right? Well, these products that help us keep a clean house are actually poisonous and harmful. They may cause respiratory problems, skin irritation, allergies and even death if ingested.

Now let us think about this, do we really want things in our home that could actually kill us or our children? Would we deliberately put our children in harms way? Probably not, but the fact is, with these poisonous products in the home, it could very well be putting our children in danger. The most common poison exposures for children are the ingestion of products in our home, chlorine being number one.

The people out there who get down and dirty to clean the bathroom can probably relate to this. This is what I used to do when I had the dirty job of disinfecting the bathroom. I would spray, spray, spray, then let it sit so as to eat up that soap scum in the tub, then I would hold my breath for as long as I could when wiping it out. Sometimes the fumes would be so bad it would make me cough. How can that be could for us? I do not think it can.

What about cleaning the oven? That toxic oven cleaner even says right on the can to have a well ventilated area, do not inhale, swallow, get in eyes or on skin. If this happens call poison control and seek medical attention. I do not think these products should be on the market if they could cause such serious adverse affects. The potential danger is too great, especially when there are children in the home.

The effects of all these toxic products over a long period of time is something that one may want to think about also. Our homes are usually sealed up in the winter because the heat is on and in the summer with the air conditioning running so there is really not much ventilation to let this toxic air out. We sit in our home thinking we are safe while breathing in these harsh chemicals. We get used to it so we do not even notice the smell anymore.

Take a moment to really think long and hard about this. It may just save your life or the life of your child. My children have respiratory problems and allergies and I believe a big contributing factor is the air in our home when I was using those chemicals to keep it clean so they would not get sick all the time. It had the opposite effect.

Things Are Looking Up!

A couple days ago I joined a private mentoring group that is designed to help people get their business off the ground and learn some of the top marketing methods. The group is comprised of some of the best marketers online.

The great thing is that I have "known" these mentors for a year so I feel very comfortable there.

Anyway, I have a new found motivation to get this business rockin'! Every day I do something to promote my business but I'm going to kick it up a notch or two. It's time I play less Guitar Hero and write more articles lol! That game is too addicting.

So, I've been submitting my ezine, blog, website and articles to directories, placing classified ads and posting in forums etc. I bought the EyeEarn kit a few weeks ago and I've started getting referrals already (3 yesterday). I haven't even received the kit yet!

Here are my stats since my last update:

48 newsletter subscribers. SFI 6, Hits2U 1, Traffic Swarm 1

I'm confident these numbers will be going up very soon!

It's a Brand New Year

Wow, another year has passed us by and it's time to think about what we want this year to be. I plan to go full speed ahead with my home business. I admit the last few months were not spent doing what I needed to do to bring my business forward. I only have myself to blame for any lack of success.

This year I plan to do double duty with submitting to link directories, article submissions and traffic exchanges. I have been fairly regular with my home business blog. I will also be researching new ways to advertise my business.

Here are my stats for the last 2.5 months:

Newsletter subscribers have increased by 135, although some have unsubnscribed since then. Referrals in my various programs go like this: SFI 1; LAB 4; NPN 1; Hits2U 1; Traffic Swarm 4. I know, I know, it looks bad, but it's my own fault!! I didn't work the business like it needed to be worked. I'm hoping this year will bring better results and you will be the first to know!
