Have you noticed how many popular diets there are? Calorie control, carbohydrate control, cookie diets… the list goes on and on. For anyone trying to lose weight and stay healthy, it can be difficult to decide which plan will work best for their body. Let’s take a look at a few of the most popular diets to help you make an informed decision.

Popular Diets – The Atkin’s Diet

The Atkin’s diet has been one of the most popular diets over the last decade. The basis of this eating plan is that those following it cut their daily carbohydrate intake to below 30g per day. This often leads many Atkin’s diet followers to believe the idea that they can consume high calorie and high fat foods as long as they do not contain many carbohydrates. While this can be an excellent way to drop a large amount of body fat fast, it isn’t necessarily the best option for your overall health.

Popular Diets – Dr. Siegal’s Cookie Diet

Most people in America have what could be described as a sweet tooth. With Dr. Siegal’s Cookie Diet, the diet follower consumes a special cookie every two hours and one generous meal throughout the day. While this is a good form of calorie restriction, the cookie diet may be difficult for many to follow due to lack of fullness. This often leads to binging or making unwise food choices, which can be counteractive to losing weight. In addition, purchasing the special cookies can be expensive and inconvenient. And anyway, do you really want to follow someone with name “Snookie” giving you advice on nutrition?!

Popular Diets – Weight Watchers       

There has been great mention in the media about Weight Watchers lately, mostly due to the high level celebrity endorsers that the plan has been able to include in their advertising. American Idol Jennifer Hudson is the most current celebrity notable for her weight loss success with the plan, leading many people to believe that Weight Watchers is the best choice of the list of popular diets available. This plan features calorie restriction by giving every food a “point” system value. For some, this is greatly affective. For those who already have problems deciding what is a healthy food choice, this can lead to weight loss disaster.

Body By Vi vs. Popular Diets

The biggest thing that sets Body By Vi apart from other popular diets is the Vi Shape Shake. This nutrition packed calorie controlled shake is also referred to as the shake mix that tastes like cake mix. It is consumed in place of breakfast and lunch for those following the Body By Vi plan. Add in a few suggested snacks during the day (i.e. apples, small side salad, almonds, etc.) with a sensible dinner, many are able to see results within a few days. Why is this so successful versus other popular diets? The less choices a plan has, the less likely the follower will make a calorie laden sabotaging food decision in their day. Dieters are also encouraged to break their involvement down into a 90 Day Challenge to make the process both easy and fun. Coupled with the high price and cost of most diets, The Body By Vi 90 day challenge is something that is workable for the average person to achieve long lasting results.

To Your Health, Wealth, And Prosperity!

Unless you are living under a rock, One of the biggest phenomenons to reach the health and wellness market is the ViSalus Weight Loss Plan. But what is it and why is it so effective?

The ViSalus Weight Loss Plan, also known as the Body By Vi 90 Day Challenge, basically consists of setting a 90 day weight loss or fitness goal and matching that goal with 1 of 5 kits, centered around meal replacement and supplementing. The core of these kits centers around the Vi Shape Shake, or what Visalus likes to call, “the shake mix that tastes like cake mix.”  The plan is usually done in 90 day segments and allows the user to adjust to different plans to encourage a healthy lifestyle, as opposed to fad or quickie diets that often create a rubber band effect that has the individual regaining the weight loss and even sometimes adding more weight in the process.

How Does It Work?
For example, a common day with the ViSalus Weight Loss Plan might look like this:
    •    Breakfast: Vi-Shape Shake blended with non-fat milk and sugar free frozen fruit plus Vi-Trim tasteless hunger control powder; Vi-Slim metabolism booster tablet
    •    Mid-Morning Snack: 10 almonds; 1 apple; NEURO drink
    •    Lunch: Vi-Shape Shake blended with non-fat milk and sugar free frozen fruit plus Vi-Trim tasteless hunger control powder
    •    Afternoon Snack: 4 celery sticks; 1 tbs peanut butter
    •    Dinner: 3 ounces chicken; 1 cup broccoli; side salad with 2 tbs fat free dressing
    •    Evening Snack/Dessert: 1 cup fresh or sugar free frozen blueberries

The biggest reason why the ViSalus Weight Loss Plan is so effective is that it blends whole nutrition with calorie reduction. Each Vi-Shape Shake contains right around 100 calories per serving, can be paired with your favorite fruits, and tastes great! Many who have taken part in the ViSalus Weight Loss plan have seen  results within the first week.
In today’s economy many are worried about the costliness of a nutritional or weight loss program. (Many average between $350-$500 or more). Those who have completed  ViSalus Weight Loss Plan will affect their budget, it is also important to note that this plan averages right around $8 per day, which is less than many spend on a single fast food lunch! The convenience of the meal plan is also another great factor. No more having to leave the office to get lunch or even skip lunch due to time constraints. The Vi-Shape Shake is easy to mix and drink on the go.

The ViSalus Weight Loss Plan and Food Allergies/Intolerance
A little known fact about the ViSalus Weight Loss Plan is that it is perfect for those with many different types of food allergies and/or intolerance. Due to the controlled amount of sugars, calories, and ingredients in the Vi-Shape Shake, many diabetics have seen a change in their condition after taking part in the ViSalus Weight Loss Plan. Vi-Shape Shakes are also gluten free, making it an easy meal for those who suffer from Celiac Disease and/or gluten intolerance.

How You Can Get Started on the ViSalus Weight Loss Plan
Getting started on this weight loss plan is incredibly simple. First of all, you have two options: promote the challenge or take part in the challenge. This means that you are either going to take the challenge AND help others do the same OR you will just take part in he 90 day ViSalus Weight Loss Plan.
Thousands of people are reaching their weight loss goals and enjoying an overall greater quality of life with the ViSalus Weight Loss Plan! To find out how you can get started in the ViSalus Weight Loss Plan, click here.

I think one of the biggest struggles for network marketers, new and seasoned is the importance of posture and how it can grow or kill your business unless it is done right.

I feel it is something that gets confused sometimes and most people are not quite sure what the differences are.

Posturing vs. Preening

Some people will mistake posturing for preening. What I mean by that is they bring what “you need to know” as opposed to what you “might wish” to know.  One of the first things that I teach anyone in my team that you must be a messenger instead of trying to be the message. The trouble with most network marketers is that they’re a so busy regurgitating the message of their company before they even find out what someone’s needs are that they lose them.  All our business really is about is finding what OTHERS needs, wants, hopes and desires are and then giving them information about providing a solution for that. So many people come AT a prospect rather than come TO the person.  Learning how to approach is key.  You must look to open them up for you AND for them to help you both discover how this “relationship” will move forward.

Be Efficient

Our time is very valuable. If you don’t think it is, try this test. See how much time you spend on an activity that is supposed to be making money for you and IF you earn anything during that time divide how much you made by how much time you invested.  The network marketing industry for some can become a TIME SUCKING endeavor that rarely will pay dividends.  When you are on the phone or maybe like me on Facebook with your prospect, don’t get sucked into an hour long back and forth with them about everything under the sun. I know this from experience guys. You have a million tabs open in your computer and several conversations going and you can just find yourself glued to your chair because you don’t want to miss anything.  A good way to gauge yourself is set a timer on your phone or better yet get your alarm clock and set it next to you. When that sucker goes off, it’s time to move on.

Asking Questions

Anyone ever heard the phrase, “Telling Is Selling?” If you haven’t, you’re probably doing it. Most of the time, we are soooo anxious to get the information out that we have and feel if we don’t we’re gonna lose the person on the phone’s attention.  So, if you are like I used to be, rattling off every single statistic I knew about my product, my comp plan and MYSELF, then stop right now.

Here’s a few question guidelines to follow.

Let’s call them the 4 W’s

• Who are they?
• Where were they born?
• What did they dream of being growing up?
• Where would they like to see their lives in the next 2-5 years?

These questions will give you serious insight into who you are dealing with.  We only have histories because of PAST experiences.

You are a potential pathway to their FUTURE.

In closing I guess the biggest message I would like to offer is very simple. Treat other as you would like to be treated.  Ask yourself these same questions in the mirror and see what answers you get.  Cause the minute you can uncover your own challenges, the sooner you will look to be a person of value in the marketplace.

When you’re looking to set the pace for your success in Network Marketing it’s often clouded by how excited we are.  There are a million different stages we all go through when building our business.

But, what makes some people hit the ranks in the company quickly, while others take more time.  What makes some quit before they reach the REAL finish line?

I was on a run this morning(something that I haven’t done in quite a while and needed to desperately)and I found myself going through several stages of my journey toward the finish line and thought it would apply to how we build our businesses.

If you have found this to be of inspiration and/or value to you please feel free to comment, post and retweet.

Have you been looking for success in network marketing?  Well, you’re not alone.  Considering 97% of the people involved with network marketing are struggling to make little to NO money at all it’s a wonder why anyone would want to enter into a venture that has such depressing numbers. So, what makes people be crazy enough to start out in this doomed to failure culture?

Network Marketing Is Easy

“You’re gonna be rich!”  Wouldn’t that phrase, especially in this new economy bring about feelings of euphoria?  I equate it to the Flintstones episode where Fred was addicted to gambling and walked around squawking, “BET,BET, BET,BET……….

It really is no different than the feeling you have after walking out of an opportunity meeting or viewing it online.  The same feeling we get when we see the same people crossing the stage rising in ranks while we sit in THE BACK kicking the floor and staring “hopefully” into the stratosphere praying for some guidance.

The uncomfortable truth is…….

Network Marketing Is Simple, but NOT SO EASY!

So, what do we do to get ourselves moving in the right direction when getting started or re igniting our existing business?  As with anything, you have to start at the beginning. This, is of course what keeps MOST people from ever getting off the ground in the first place.  It is always the foundation that causes the house that we build to stand firm.  Most of us dive into the image of what we want rather than what burns inside of us.

The Real Leaders Have Sacrificed The Most

Having worked with some of the best in the people in both the television industry as well as the network marketing industry, I can tell you that everyone who has achieved the most enviable success have been the ones with the most to lose. From David Wood(homeless, living in a van) Internet Marketing Guru, Ray Higdon(down to the last $300 in his bank account)#1 income earner in his company, to Jermey Gilchrest (who was living on a cot homeless) before hitting 2 Star Ambassador and being one the top earners in his company, the people that MAKE IT HAPPEN are the ones that GOT MAD at their situation!

They rejected the life that was getting them nowhere and instead embraced the life that they wished for.

My point with this post today is not to get more back links or figure out how my SEO will increase by placing this blog.  Maybe it doesn’t teach you a thing.  But, if you are done waiting for the world to GIVE you something, perhaps you should look at what it is that you’re hoping to eradicate from your life, then GET MAD!

What Can I Do?

Sometimes to figure out who you are in this industry, you have to follow who is making it happen.  The one thing that I have learned that has made a huge difference in my success is that if what I THINK I should do is not working for me and I am not willing to ask for help because of my own ego, I will forever look to blame outside forces for what is not taking me to what my vision is for success. So, I ask you. “Who are you following?”  “What are you DOING to make the Changes necessary to feed WHY you are engaged in your business?”

And above all “What WILL you do?” I am thankful to have had the where with all to look at where I started in my marketing journey and where I have seen countless successes for people that are spinning out of control in their business, spending ridiculous money and never really having the time or resources to sift and sort through all the programs that are being offered out there. We all need to be able to create leverage with what we have.  It is the most advantageous assests you have to offer anyone.  We are very much viewed by the company we keep.  So follow the best.  If you’re looking for a great hub of training and lead generation I STRONGLY recommend MyLeadSystemPro. Every major leader that has emerged in the last 3 years have been the product of plugging into the incredible FREE Training that is offered through this system.  If you have nothing to lose then I would take the 9.95 trial and see what it does for you and your business in the next 2 weeks.  If you really use it.  Unless you have all the leads and leverage you need…

Stick your principles and why you got into this industry.  If you LOOOOOOVE your company or product, great!  But, know that you have what each person is looking for in this world.  The ability to affect a change in your life and someone else’s!
