It literally brings me to tears when I think about the number of people who are affected by cancer every day. Whether it’s you, your mother, your sister, your child, or maybe your best friend, we are all affected by this horrible disease at some point in our lives.

It saddens me even more to think that there is a multi-billion dollar industry supported by those who are suffering. We pour millions of dollars into research, walk thousands of miles a year to raise money, and we continue to “fight the war on cancer.” Sadly though, there are more people diagnosed with cancer today then there were fifty years ago.

After all of the time, energy, money and research, we are still losing our loved ones to this awful disease. We are watching their quality of life diminish as they are given conventional treatments that cause all types of terrible side effects. Something has to be done and this has to stop.

Just a short time ago I came across some information about a doctor who is treating cancer without harmful chemotherapy and radiation. A doctor who has been doing research on this subject and administering his treatments for over 30 years! However, he has been met with much opposition from the FDA and many other government agencies.

Their opposition was never about the safety or effectiveness of his treatment, but rather about trying to put him out of business. Recently, a gentleman by the name of Eric Merola released a fascinating documentary about this doctor, named Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski, and told the story of what he has gone through over all these years.

The documentary gives you more information about Dr. Burzynski’s treatment and explains how it works. It also covers the stories of numerous terminally ill cancer patients who were told they were going to die by their oncologists. These patients are alive and well today, some 10 or more years after they were told they were going to die, with no sign of cancer to this day.

I am not writing this to tell anyone that this man will cure you or your loved ones of cancer. I am writing this because I feel it is imperative that you are aware of this information. I believe it is up to each individual to decide what may be the best course of treatment, should you ever be faced with that decision.

I believe that we all have the right to make informed decisions, meaning we should have the information available to us to make the decision we feel is best for ourselves. This information is unfortunately not mainstream at this time, but I do hope that you will take the time to buy this documentary, watch it, and then share it with everyone you know.

We must spread the word that there are choices out there. We should never feel bullied into chemotherapy, radiation, or any other treatment, unless we feel that is the right choice for us.

You can purchase the movie at BurzynskiMovie.com. However, through this Sunday (June 20, 2011), you can watch it free at that same website and you can also purchase the DVD at a discounted price. No, I have absolutely no affiliation with the site and I certainly don’t make a dime if you buy the movie. I am just passionate about sharing this information with you as I believe it may be life-saving for many of us.

I believe you have the right to have access to this information so that you can make a more informed decision, should you or a loved one ever be in that situation. Below is a trailer for the movie if you’d like to take a quick peek and I wish you good health and happiness.

Every day, thousands of people are starting a home business. Why not? You can spend more time with your family, set your own schedule, skip sitting in traffic every day, and you won’t have to work for a boss you don’t like!

However, many people fail in the home business industry. It’s an unfortunate, but simple fact. If you are thinking about getting started with your own home business, or already have one and are struggling, then listen up because you may be making some of these mistakes…and not even realizing it!

7 Common Mistakes Made by Home Business Owners

1. Sleeping In

I know, you think I’m crazy. I get it. You don’t have to wake up to an alarm clock any more, rush through breakfast (if you even have time for any at all,) sit in traffic and then hope you get to work on time.

That’s great. It’s one of the most wonderful perks about having a home business. Just remember, it’s still a business. If you want to sleep in, by all means do so, just don’t forget to get up and get some work done.

It’s amazing how many people will wake up at 5AM to go to a job they hate, but struggle to get up and work just as hard on their own business!

2. No DMO, To-Do List or Goals Set

What are you going to do every day? Remember, no one is standing over you telling you what you have to get done and when your next deadline is. This can be difficult for most, if not all entrepreneurs, at least in the beginning.

Don’t let this discourage you. Figure out what your business plan and goals are first of all, so that you can put some action steps into place and know what you are working towards.

Next, set up a DMO (Daily Method of Operation), something you will do each day to complete your tasks. It is also important to set up to-do lists. I know that it sounds tedious, but it can be rewarding as you get through your day and check things off this list. Also, it will help keep you focused and on track!

3. Training & Information Overload

This can be a big one and will paralyze you if you don’t watch out for it. Having a home business is extremely rewarding and can be a lot of fun, but there is a lot to learn.

Don’t try to learn everything all at once! Work with your mentor and take it one day at a time. When you are working on learning a marketing technique, master it, then move on to the next one. You will find much more success that way.

Multi-tasking has a time and a place, but it can be detrimental if you try to multi-task with your training and education. If you were in college, you wouldn’t take four years of classes in one semester, so don’t do that here.

Be patient and continue to learn and build every day. Stay focused on one topic before you move on to the next and don’t let it overwhelm you. Remember that we’ve all been overwhelmed at one point or another, just remember to take a deep breath and keep moving forward!

4. Setting Boundaries with Friends & Family

We all love our friends and family, and being able to spend more time with them is a driving motivation for most of us in this industry. However, it’s important that they understand you are not laying on the couch watching soap operas. You are building a business.

Setting boundaries is key. Make sure they understand that even though you are home, you are working. This doesn’t mean that you can’t spend any time with them of course, just not ALL of your time.

Explain to them that you are building a business. In the beginning, it’s going to take some sacrifices to have the ultimate time freedom and leverage you desire for your future. The sacrifices you are making now will pay off later, but only if you stay focused!

5. Scheduling Personal vs. Business Time

We’ve already discussed that it’s important to set boundaries with family and friends, and make sure that you are focused and working hard on your business. It’s also important that you decide what time is going to be business time and what time is going to be personal time.

This is going to be different for everyone depending on a lot of things. Maybe you have young children so you do most of your work when they are at school and when they go to bed at night.

Maybe you have a significant other that works nights so you do most of your work in the evening so that you can spend time together during the day.

It doesn’t really matter when you work. The important part is that you do work and that you have time dedicated to business and time dedicated to personal. Especially in the beginning, it is so important to stick to a more structured schedule because it will help you stay more focused.

It’s okay to schedule in some breaks and personal time during your day. In fact, I encourage it. It will make your work time more productive. Also, if you are in the middle of a training webinar, don’t stop to take a phone call from your best friend and chat for 45 minutes. Call them later when you have some downtime, they will understand!

6. Not Willing To Work Overtime

Now, I know your probably thinking something like “Overtime? In my own business? What’s THAT all about?” but stick with me. If your boss offered you time and a half or double time to work the weekend or told you that you had to work on the weekend or your job would be in jeopardy, what would you do?

Odds are, you wouldn’t do what Peter did in Office Space. You would go to work because you need the job, you need the money. Well, the same is true with your home business. Again, especially in the beginning, there will be times when you may have to work late at night or on the weekend when your friends are at the beach.

That’s okay. Once you’ve built a successful business and you can quit your day job, you will be the one lying on the beach on a Monday afternoon and your old boss will be sitting in a hot office. Not that I want them to be stuck in an office either, but you get the picture.

7. Not Willing To Invest In Yourself

So many home business owners are afraid to spend any money on anything. They want to wait until their business is going well before they spend any money. Guess what? Your business is going to grow in direct proportion to how much you grow.

You are your business for all intents and purposes. It is essential that you realize how important it is to invest in yourself so that you can learn and grow. I’m not suggesting that you buy every single marketing course and personal development CD that you come across, but be prepared and willing to invest some money.

In the beginning, your budget will likely be smaller, but as you and your business grow, you will see the huge return on your investments and you will want to continue to grow even more. No one ever knows everything and we all have so much opportunity to learn.

Stay open to learning and take advantage of the wonderful information that you will be able to have access to. The return on your investment, both personally and professionally, will be huge!

The bottom line is this: be willing to do for yourself and your business what you are willing to do for your job (which you probably hate). We’ve all made the above mistakes at one time or another, but once you recognize them, it’s much easier to begin to correct them.

As a home business owner, the rewards are huge, but you must be willing to work hard and stay focused to be successful. Don’t ever quit because that is the only way you will fail in this business. If you want it bad enough, you will be successful but you must believe in what you are doing.

To Your Success…

Have any ideas on how to keep a home business organized and running smooth? We’d love for you to share your thoughts below!

Why Are You Going To College?

Have you ever really stopped to ask yourself that question?

I think about the world we live in now and the state of our economy and I find it so interesting that no one really stops to answer this for themselves – especially with the skyrocketing costs of a college education.

Now, let me first start off by saying that I am certainly not against formal education, or pursuing a college degree. However, I think it brings up some important points.

Why are you going to school? What are you studying? Why? Certainly not all, but many young people, go to school and pursue an education just because they are “supposed to.” Half the time they don’t even like what they are studying and yet they still do it. Why? To get a “good job.”

I think it’s unfortunate how many people head off to college with no desire or passion for a specific career path. Then they get themselves into thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of dollars of debt, only to graduate and struggle to find a job.

I don’t think this necessarily makes the most sense for every person. We have adopted this mentality as a society of “just get your degree.”

Study in school so you can get good grades. Get good grades so you can get a degree. Get a degree so you can get a job.

While I believe that this may be a very viable opportunity for many young people, it may not be the only answer. Yet this is what is touted as the best advice for all.

Perhaps we are doing a disservice to our youth. Perhaps they do not know what their passion is at 18, and some may be better off getting some real life experience first. Maybe that would give them a chance to explore the real world and cultivate their passions.

That is what we should all be striving for, to share our passion and make a living at it. Perhaps we would be a more prosperous society if more of us were doing what we are passionate about in life.

Why do we want everyone to just go and get a degree? Are they really learning anything valuable? Also, there is a common attitude that if you don’t go to college young, you will never go back. I understand that, however I don’t necessarily agree.

If you want something, you will go out and get it. Even if you have to take night classes, rather than the traditional route. Furthermore, how many people have a good job that they got with their degree, but hate that job and are just barely getting by? That is certainly not a fulfilling way to live.

Dig deep and decide what you are passionate about, what drives you. How excited would it be to be able to focus your energy on that every day? Wouldn’t you want to continue to learn and excel, rather than just know what you have to just to do your job?

Unfortunately, we are so focused on formal education that we’ve forgotten about self-education. It’s so important that whether we go on to college or not, our learning never stops.

We owe it to ourselves and each other to continue to grow and contribute to our community and society. Let’s not forget that there are all types of learning, and some of the most important, doesn’t necessarily take place in a classroom.

Listen, it takes all types of people in this world and everyone is just as valuable as the next. Many people desire to go to college and pursue a career which can be an extremely fulfilling life.

However, before you drop thousands of dollars on your education to get that “good” job, think a bit and explore your options. Talk to people who have been where you are. Find yourself a mentor and don’t be afraid to pursue your passion in life.

If you are tired of going to doctor after doctor and only coming out with a prescription in your hand and no real answers, then Breakthrough: Eight Steps To Wellness should be on your reading list.

Suzanne Somers has written another great book, sharing loads of cutting-edge information through her interviews with over a dozen different doctors.

She, along with these doctors, shares her passion for being proactive with her health and living in a state of abundant energy and well-being. She feels strongly about looking at her body as a whole, rather than treating or masking individual symptoms.

Suzanne writes about her eight steps to wellness in this very interesting and educational read, and I want to give you a brief look at those now.

Breakthrough: 8 Steps To Wellness

1. Get Biodentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

This one will come as no surprise for those of you who are familiar with Suzanne Somers. It is no secret how passionate she is about BHRT.

After all, we age because of our hormonal decline and the idea behind BHRT is to put back the hormones that are lost through the aging process.

She discusses with many doctors the important differences between BHRT and hormone replacement therapy with synthetic hormones (synthetic hormones have created quite a bit of controversy).

They discuss the many benefits of BHRT, as well as the roles of hormones in your body and how BHRT can bring you back to a state of well-being.

2. Avoid Chemicals and Detoxify Your Body

We live in a very polluted world. Period. There is no disputing that. The chemicals and toxins that enter our bodies through our food, water, the air we breathe and through our skin can wreak havoc on our body.

It is essential that we understand how we can protect ourselves from these pollutants and limit our exposure, but also how we can rid our bodies of them. After all, we can do many things to protect ourselves, but we can’t live in a bubble!

3. Take Nutrition Seriously

So many of us go through each day grabbing food just to curb our hunger and get out the door quickly. We eat the most convenient thing we can find and often don’t give much thought to what the ingredients might be or if the food has any real nutritional value.

This is a recipe for disaster! We are what we eat. It’s really that simple. It is essential that we fuel our bodies with the right foods if we want and expect to have the energy to live a productive, healthy and fulfilling life.

This part of the book is not just about telling us what we shouldn’t eat and it’s not about going on a diet. It is about eating good, real foods that nourish our bodies and provide the vital minerals and nutrients to keep us healthy and young!

4. Create A Healthy GI Tract

According to this book, it is estimated that as much as 40% of the population suffers from some type of digestive stress. Personally, I think that’s a pretty startling number, leading me to believe that perhaps we should think a bit more about our gut.

Unfortunately, many people who are suffering end up going to their doctor and getting prescriptions or OTC drugs to “solve” their digestive problems.

In this book, Suzanne breaks down how our digestive system works, the impact it has on our health and what we can do to keep it in good working order, without having to run to the pharmacy!

5. Avoid Pharmaceuticals Unless Absolutely Necessary

The unfortunate reality is that there is a lot of money and conflicts of interest tied into the pharmaceutical industry. This is not to say that all prescription drugs are bad, but there is definitely a time and a place.

Suzanne discusses some of the natural options we have available, rather than always relying on drugs with potentially harmful side effects.

6. Supplement Your Diet

It’s really a shame what we have done to our food supply with of all the chemicals and toxins that are rampant in our environment. The majority of our food grows in soil that is no longer rich in the proper nutrients, vitamins and minerals it once was.

Therefore, it is important to consider the possibility of supplementing our diet to obtain the essential nutrition to stay healthy. Suzanne discusses supplements that are important to add to your diet and how these nutrients enhance our health.

7. Exercise Regularly

We weren’t meant to sit all day. We were meant to be active individuals and when we are active, we are much healthier. Suzanne points out that exercise doesn’t have to be regimented and it doesn’t have to be at a gym.

Just go out and take a walk, go for a hike, a bike ride or whatever it is that you enjoy. It is important that we all have some form of exercise in our life that we are consistent with it if we wish to reach our optimal health.

8. Get Proper Sleep

This one definitely hit home for me. We live in a very busy world where no one has time to eat, sleep or take care of themselves. Many people sleep less than 5 or 6 hours a night.

At one point in my life, I used to be up late at night, sleep late sometimes, get up early others. My sleep patterns were inconsistent, however I was almost always up late. I have changed my sleeping habits over the last few years and I can’t tell you the difference it has made in my life.

Suzanne discusses the importance of not only sleeping, but getting proper sleep. It does matter when we go to sleep and the environment we sleep in. It’s not as simple as sleeping for 7-8 hours and Suzanne explains this in detail.

Well, I hope this gives you a good glimpse into this very insightful book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Breakthrough Eight Steps To Wellness and I hope you do too!

Feel free to share your comments below on the book, or perhaps your experience with BHRT, so that we can all benefit from this great information.

Low-fat. Low-carb. No red meat. Butter or margarine? Vegetable oil or olive oil? Whole milk or skim milk? Grass fed? Organic?

It seems like every year there is “new” information telling us what we should or shouldn’t eat and many times it contradicts what we may believe or may already be doing.

I recently finished reading Real Food: What To Eat And Why by Nina Planck, and I thought it was a fantastic book.

100 years ago, heck 50 years ago, food wasn’t this complicated. It wasn’t all about fad diets.

It was about farming and living off the land. It was about eating what Nina refers to in this book as “real food.”

Nina grew up on a farm eating raw milk, butter, meat, fresh fruits and vegetables, homemade granola and whole wheat bread, and just about anything and everything else that they produced on their farm.

I’d like to point out that the butter and raw milk she ate came from their own grass fed Jersey cow. The meat was grass fed as well, and the eggs she ate came from chickens that were free ranging, not raised on “vegetarian” diets (did you know chicken’s aren’t natural vegetarians? They aren’t!).

They didn’t treat their animals with antibiotics or hormones and they certainly didn’t spray their produce with pesticides and other harmful chemicals.

She ate all these wonderful foods growing up, but yearned for “American food, the kind ‘normal kids’ ate.” As she got older, she began falling into the trap of our culture.

Like the rest of us, Nina kept hearing things like:

Too much meat is bad.

Saturated fat is bad.

Too many carbs are bad.

Every year, we hear something new. So, she began a quest in her teens and twenties and became first a vegetarian, and then a vegan. She lived this lifestyle for many years, but never really felt well.

She had poor digestion, was moody and got sick during cold and flu season. She was exercising regularly, but gained weight on this supposedly healthy diet.

Her job at the time brought her over to Europe, and through a series of events, she ended up opening London’s first farmer’s market in 1999. She went on to open up more and then quit her job at the time as a speechwriter for the U.S. Ambassador to Britain to focus on the farmer’s markets.

Spending time at the farmers’ markets inevitably led her down the path of reintroducing herself to the foods that she grew up on. She began to slowly start eating foods from her childhood such as meats and ice cream as opposed to nonfat yogurt and tofu.

She soon began feeling better, and her colds and flu disappeared. As she continued to eat more meat, butter, fish and eggs, her health continued to improve, as well as her weight and her mood.

She set out to research the real foods that she grew up on and the diet of humans going back many years. She learned quite a bit about the traditional foods our ancestors ate and how they differ from the industrial foods we eat predominantly now.

It is a wonderfully refreshing book because she shares not only facts, but more importantly, her experiences and her journey back to good health.

She points out very clearly the facts that not all food is created equal and there are important distinctions we must understand when making choices for ourselves.

For example, grass-fed meat vs. grain-fed meat. Or raw milk vs. pasteurized and homogenized milk. Or farmed fish vs. wild fish.

There are so many traditional foods that we have altered over the last 50 or so years that have changed the way they impact our health. It is important that we understand the differences and the consequences of the food choices we make. She does a great job of explaining this in the book.

Overall, I thought this was an extremely well-written book and it read more like a story, not like a text book. I think some people may be apprehensive to read these types of books because they may appear to be boring – like reading an encyclopedia or other reference book.

This is most certainly not the case with this book. Nina does a wonderful job of both telling you her story, but also providing you with compelling information about where our food comes from which is what makes it so enjoyable to read.

I would highly recommend Real Food What To Eat and Why to anyone who has an interest or a passion in learning more about food, real food, the history and the truth about how it impacts our health.

You’ve joined an amazing company. You’re living your dream of running your own business from home. You believe in the power of the internet to explode your business.

There’s just one catch. You need leads.

How Are You Going To Find Leads For Your Home Based Business?

Well, it’s important to understand who your potential prospects are and what they’re looking for.

• They are looking for leadership.
• They are looking for information.
• They are looking for a solution to their problem.

Oh, and by the way, someone who automatically starts pitching a business opportunity at them is the last thing they are looking for.

Now you know what your prospects are looking for, so what do you do next and where do you find them?

You become a student of attraction marketing, learn and implement the marketing techniques and they will find you.

Attraction marketing isn’t about chasing prospects, it’s about learning how to market in a way that in essence, has your prospects chasing you.

What Are Some Effective Marketing Techniques?

• Article Marketing
• Video Marketing
• Forum Marketing
• Blogging
• Social Media Marketing
• Pay Per Click Marketing

This is certainly not meant to be an exhaustive list of effective marketing techniques – just a few of our favorites and a great place to start.

It’s important to learn how to implement these techniques the right way so that you will be spending your time effectively and get a return on your investment.

One important piece of advice we can offer is don’t try to learn them all at once. That’s probably the worst thing you could do. Learn one, do it well, then move on to the next one and repeat.

Trying to learn too much at once is a recipe for disaster, and will surely leave you feeling overwhelmed and lost. Master one technique at a time, and then add a new skill – master that and add another, and so on.

With the exception of Pay Per Click, all of the techniques above are essentially free, except for some minor potential costs, so be prepared to spend time on those techniques. What you don’t spend in money on marketing, you will spend in time.

If you decide to focus on article marketing for example, don’t just write a couple of articles and say “Okay. I did article marketing.” Be prepared to write lots (and lots) of articles and to learn how to submit your articles to multiple places.

There are a few basics to article marketing that you will need to learn.

• Keyword Research
• Where To Host Your Articles
• Article Distribution
• Getting Ranked In Search Engines
• Converting Readers To Leads

Now, to someone who’s never looked into article marketing, or may have thought it was a simple process of writing an article and posting it online somewhere, this list may look a bit daunting – but that’s not our intention, and you really don’t need to feel that way!

The reason we point out these basics is to illustrate the point that there is a process to any marketing strategy – almost a procedure that you will customize to your own needs and style.

Whenever you invest time or money (or both) into a marketing effort, you want to be sure that your marketing will not only be found by the right audience, but also be effective. Understanding the fundamentals of your preferred strategy is the key to effective marketing.

Ultimately, learning (and implementing) the fundamentals of your chosen marketing strategy is one of your most important responsibilities.

Once you know what to look for, and where to look for it, you’ll suddenly find more home based business leads than you ever though possible.

The secret is in the fundamentals!

There’s no dispute that we are using up the resources of our planet at a rapid pace. The damage that is caused as a result, both to our health and our environment, is definitely unsettling.

How are things going to be in 10 years? What about 50 years from now? Are there things we can do now to make a difference for years and generations to come?

More importantly, is living green a choice we each make, or should it be viewed more as a responsibility? I’ve asked some different people in my own life about this, and I’m curious what your opinions are.

Chad and I are passionate about making choices that are greener, which in turn are better for both the environment and for our health.

We certainly don’t make perfect choices all of the time and I can’t imagine anyone who does; after all, we are all human. However, when you make decisions from day to day, do you consider the impact you’re leaving on the environment?

Is it important to consider how the things we do, the products we purchase, and the food we eat may impact our health and our environment?

We are faced with decisions every day. Which cleaning products should we use in our home? What about using air fresheners and sprays?

Is it our responsibility to recycle? What if recycling isn’t “convenient” at the moment? Should we be more mindful of not leaving TVs and lights on all over our house when we may not need them on?

Which foods should we purchase? Is it important to try to purchase local and organic foods as much as possible? Or does it make a difference where our food comes from?

Does the origin of our food or the way it is grown impact our environment or our health?

It definitely does.

We have to think about it this way: the farther food has to be shipped, the more energy is used in the shipping process which certainly doesn’t help the environment at all.

In addition to local foods, what about organics? Aside from the health benefits that we’ll save for another day, purchasing organic foods helps to preserve the integrity of the soil that we grow our food in.

Growing organic foods also helps avoid large amounts of chemicals and toxins that are part of the “conventional” farming system from being released into the air. Do we really want those chemicals in the food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe?!

The same applies with the cleaning products we use in our home. Not all cleaning products are created equal. Some (many) have toxic chemicals in them that can be dangerous to our planet and our health with long term use.

How do we choose what products we are going to use? Is it something we even really think about, or do we pick out the one we think smells nice or we recognize from a commercial?

Doing this doesn’t make us bad people, rather a product of our culture. We grow up and learn about so many different subjects in school, but do we really learn about these everyday things?

We can’t blame ourselves for making certain choices because sometimes we just don’t know any better. One of my favorite sayings is “You don’t know what you don’t know.” – which is why self-education is so important to me.

One of our biggest obstacles is where the majority of our information comes from.

We are bombarded with advertising for so many different things and we aren’t really taught to question any of them.

Well, what if we did? What if we realized that what we all do has an impact on our planet and it’s future?

Would it be our responsibility to make better, more environmentally friendly choices or is it someone else’s problem? Are there some tips to living greener that we can all implement?

I always find it interesting when people refer to those living a “green” life with some sort of nickname. There are so many, I’m sure we can all think of a few.

But why? Why do we outcast people who are passionate about preserving our planet and maintaining a healthy environment? Why is “being green” not only a fad, but sometimes an oddity? Why is caring (passionately!) about our planet and future so rare and unusual?

This leads us back to my original question which I think we should all at least take a minute to think about.

Is living a greener life a choice, or is it a responsibility we all have?

I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

I recently finished reading Ageless by Suzanne Somers and what can I say, except that I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone over the age of 18.

When you are doing something you are passionate about, at any age, it shines through in your work. This is most certainly the case with Suzanne Somers.

She has found a far superior quality of life through not only eating well and exercising, but also through  Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) and the use of quality supplements.

Most of us don’t go through our lives thinking too much about how our hormones work, let alone when or if we should ever replace them. Suzanne explains the functions of each of our major hormones, as well as our minor hormones in the beginning of the book.

She then goes on to discuss PMS, Perimenopause and Menopause and the effects these have on our bodies, our health and our lives. For all the men out there, don’t worry, this isn’t a book only written for women. This book is also very important for your health as well. In addition to the overall information, she devotes multiple chapters specifically to men.

Not to mention, it’s important that you understand not only your own body, but also your wife or significant other’s, so that you can better understand what she may be going through!

Suzanne then goes on to discuss the importance of finding the best doctor for you, one who understands what you are going through and who is willing to work with you to get better.

She also goes over the difference between static dosing and rhythmic cycling when taking bioidentical hormones. The methods are different and it’s important to understand the differences.

She shares her interviews with over a dozen different doctors, as well as other people who have experienced BHRT firsthand, including her son Bruce. The interviews are fascinating and filled with information that you won’t get from a traditonal doctor’s office visit or on your local news.

These doctors are using bioidentical hormones, hormones that match exactly to what our body makes, rather than synthetic hormones which don’t match the hormones in our body and can potentially wreak havoc in our bodies over time.

They are also using cutting edge treatments, natural supplements and detoxification methods to provide their patients a better quality of life. They are doing this without pumping pharmaceutical drugs into their patients which could potentially have short and/or long term side effects.

Suzanne also discusses how our environment is causing many problems with our health. Everywhere you turn there are chemicals, pollutants, radiation and an inferior food supply which are all causing harm to our bodies. She discusses the importance of limiting your exposure to the best of your ability.

Of course, we can’t live in a bubble, so it’s important to understand how to detoxify our bodies and provide the right supplementation to improve our quality of life. We have to learn how to protect ourselves from the environmental assault our bodies receive day in and day out!

Suzanne also discusses the importance of good nutrition as well as moderate exercise in order to keep ourselves healthy. She discusses the significance of eating good, wholesome, real foods, ones that are not filled with numerous chemicals and preservatives. She also doesn’t advocate too much exercise. She believes that moderate exercise is good, and too much exercise can actually do more harm than good.

Overall, as with her other books that I have read, I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about their health and the aging process. I wish I had this book when I was 18, so don’t think you are too young to read it. After all, you are never too young to learn and to get yourself on the right path to a long and healthy life!

Every year, more and more people are realizing the opportunities available on the internet. So many people want to learn how to start an online marketing business.

Chad and I have gone through the trials and tribulations of starting our own internet marketing business, so we’d like to share our 5 step process on how to start your own!

How To Start An Online Marketing Business

1. Find A Good Mentor

Ask any successful person online or offline who their mentor is and they will tell you. I say this because they all HAVE a mentor. Don’t go this one alone. The internet is an amazing place and can provide an immense amount of opportunity, but it can be overwhelming if you try to tackle it all on your own!

This is an exciting time. You are starting your own online marketing business. You are doing it so that you can have both financial and time freedom. Well, then don’t waste your time and money reinventing the wheel.

There are so many people who have found success online and have already made many mistakes and learned some great skills. Let them be your teachers. You are embarking on a new journey and it is important to have someone to guide you.

Look for someone who you connect with and who is willing to invest their time to help you be successful. Many people are afraid that the internet is full of “scam artists.” While there are unfortunately some dishonest people out there, there are also so many wonderful leaders and entrepreneurs. Let your gut be your guide and do your due diligence. You will find the right person to work with eventually!

2. Be Willing To Unlearn

Yes, I did say unlearn. I know it sounds funny, so let me explain.

The internet can create a very lucrative opportunity, if you are willing to put the time into your business. This may be difficult for many people to believe. We have been very conditioned to believe certain things. We all have a set of beliefs and set of limitations in our minds.

The opportunities you will have may challenge some of those beliefs. Many people immediately assume something is a scam if they have the opportunity to make a certain amount of money. Generally speaking, any amount of money that exceeds the limitations a person has been raised to accept sets off their “scam alarm.”

This one can be very difficult for many and will actually stop most people before they even get started. If you don’t believe something is possible, it isn’t. Period. So you will have set yourself up for failure before you even get started.

You don’t need perfect SAT scores or a college degree to be successful in this business. The internet has created a level playing field and this goes against everything most of us have been taught.

“Go to school. Get good grades. Go to college. Get a good job.” That does not apply here and for many, it goes against their belief system, so this is where they struggle. However, if you are willing to unlearn those old beliefs and be open-minded, you will see that many doors will open for you.

Unlearning some of the beliefs you’ve been conditioned to accept is a crucial part of learning how to start a online marketing business.

3. Invest In Yourself & Your Online Education

This is a whole new world, so you can’t expect to just put up a website and make millions overnight. You would not decide to become an electrician and then just go get a job without any education or training, so why would you do that online?

There is a lot of great information online, and this is another place where your mentor can help you. They can help you by providing you with guidance and directing you to great books, training videos and educational resouces.

I will warn you though, this is nothing like being in school. This is fun. It’s exciting and the knowledge you gain can be directly applied to your new online marketing business. You will see direct applications of your skills and knowledge. It won’t be about just getting a degree so you can get a good job.

This is an area that many people fail in. They don’t want to spend any money because they “want to see if their business works first.” What? I do not understand and will not ever understand that logic, or excuse me, lack their of.

Would you try to start a law practice, but only pay for your law degree if your business works out first? Of course not. So why would anyone expect this “wait to see if the business works” logic to make any sense online? I can pretty much guarantee that anyone who has that mindset may as well go back to working for someone else because that mindset alone is enough to make you fail!

I don’t mean to come across harsh on this one, but it is so incredibly important that you understand you must invest in yourself and your online education. This certainly doesn’t mean throwing money at any course you come across. As always, do your due diligence and look to your mentor for guidance.

I personally find this particular mindset amusing, because my husband and I have spent money on our training and online education over the past couple of years, but it hardly even compares to just one year of my college education. Just something to think about.

4. Decide On What Type Of Business You’re Interested In

I’m certainly not going to sit here and name every possibility for what type of online marketing business you could have, but it’s something you should think about. You may decide that you just want to market affiliate products, or maybe you just want to run your own niche blog. Or maybe you want to get involved in network marketing.

There are many choices out there for you. These decisions are going to be based on your goals, your comfort level, your passions, your resources (both time and money) and other things as well. Once you decide on what type of business you would like to have, you are well on your way.

5. Apply The Skills You Learn

Remember, you are going to be investing in your education and learning some great new skills. These skills won’t do you any good though, if you don’t implement them into your business. You need to have daily action steps, as well as short and long term goals to keep you on track.

Depending on which marketing strategies you implement, you may have quick results, or it may take you some time to see results. The most important thing is that you are consistent with your efforts. Remember,it is more often that our smaller, consistent efforts have a greater impact rather than our larger, yet inconsistent efforts.

Which do you think is better for you and will yield more results? Working out 30 minutes, 5 days a week or working out for 8 hours one day a month? This is how you have to think about your business.

Now you know how to start an online marketing business with this 5 step process. Don’t hesitate, go get started. It will be the best decision you ever make!

We all enter this world under very different circumstances.

Some of us are born into wealthy families.

Some of us are born into poor families.

Still, many of us are born into families that fall somewhere in between those groups.

How does this affect our potential for success in life?

To be honest, I don’t believe the type of family we are born into affects our potential at all.

I believe that when it comes to having success in life, it matters not where we come from but where we decide to go.

It’s easy to feel that if we don’t have a lot of money or resources at our disposal, that we don’t have a good chance of being successful. I believe those beliefs are the exact nature of the problem.

To quote the great Napoleon Hill:

“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.”

We are all born with the ability to have complete control over our minds. It is when we relinquish that control to others that we find ourselves unsuccessful.

It is when we don’t truly believe that we can have the success that we want and deserve in life that we are not successful.

Unfortunately, many of us, regardless of our backgrounds have allowed others to influence our thoughts and put limitations on what is possible.

For example, society would have us believe that we can’t get be successful without a certain level of formal schooling and specific degrees.

This is not to say that going to college and maybe even moving on to grad school is a bad thing or isn’t something you should be proud of.

However, it isn’t the only determining factor to your future. Once you allow yourself to believe that you won’t be successful in your career because of a “lack of education”, then you won’t be.

Simple as that.

If we allow our minds to believe and focus on the fact that we don’t have this degree or that degree or that we didn’t go to this school or that school, we have subconsciously determined our future.

We have to keep in mind that education comes in many forms, not just in a classroom.

Someone Who Has Achieved Massive Success In Life

Let’s take a look at one of my most influential mentors, Tony Robbins. Finishing high school is as far as he went when it comes to formal schooling. Yet he is hands down one of the most successful and influential people of our time.

I can hear it now. “Yea, but that’s Tony Robbins you’re talking about. That doesn’t mean I can be that successful with only a high school degree.” Again, we can’t allow those negative thoughts into our minds.

We all have a tendency to justify things in our life, and that is when we get into trouble. We allow ourselves to become complacent because we feel that we have reached the limitations of what we are capable of.

Limitations decided by who?

We have to be careful not to allow this to happen; unfortunately, though, it does happen to many of us – consistently – throughout our lives.

We simply will not have success in life if we don’t believe 100% in what we are capable of.

We will not have success in life if we live by the limitations that we allow others to place on us.

It is essential that we take control over our minds and our belief systems and that we do not limit our own potential.

We have to truly believe that whatever it is we want in life is possible, regardless of what anyone else around us says. We can’t, under any circumstances, allow other people’s negative thoughts to crowd our minds.

We must consistently feed our minds with good, positive thoughts. We must feed our minds with information and knowledge that will help us achieve our goals. If we sit back and allow people to tell us that we can’t have or do something, we are allowing them to place limitations on our lives.

No one should have the power to do that, so don’t let them! As far as I’m concerned, I have one turn here and I decided not to allow anyone else to determine how I should spend it, and how successful I can or can’t be.

You shouldn’t either.

Start today.

Believe it is possible…and it is.
