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.

Network Marketing

I know it’s been some time for me since my last post.  Suffice it to say, it’s been a time of action and building.  With that I also have had lots of conversations with several other marketers out there about an issue that pops up from time to time and carries an incredible stigma with it, so I wanted to weigh in myself and really look at it from a business perspective instead of an emotional one.

They are the perfect bad guy!

They draw us towards them like flies to honey.  Then, they wave all their good fortune in our faces and live the life we wish for but won’t bother to DO what they might have done to obtain it.

THEY FRIGGING SUCK!

How often have we all looked at someone who has what we want and scratched our heads in wonder as to HOW that person is so successful?

I think we would all be surprised to see how many times a day the little green eyed monster show’s up after swimming around in our subconscious.

If we have any measure of ambition, we always are looking to see where we can go NEXT.  I myself know that over the years I would hate hearing, “I saw someone in this movie last night that looked just like you!”  Usually it was either Tom Cruise or Rob Lowe or someone of that type and age.

I would kick around wondering how they got where they are and always grabbed a hold of the easiest answer. Read the rest of this entry »

vision |ˈvi zh ən|

noun 1 the faculty or state of being able to see : she had defective vision. • the ability to think about or plan the future with imagination or wisdom : the organization had lost its vision and direction. • a mental image of what the future will or could be like : a postive vision of society. • the images seen on a television screen. 2 an experience of seeing someone or something in a dream or trance, or as a supernatural apparition : the idea came to him in a vision. • (often visions) a vivid mental image, esp. a fanciful one of the future : he had visions of becoming the Elton John of his time. • a person or sight of unusual beauty. verb [ trans. ] rare imagine.

I am a huge believer in the power of vision and dreams in our lives.

You can ask any of my team members or upline mentors and they will tell you that I can spend hours on the subject identifying the deepest and most powerful dreams we have.  We all do have them, they are just hidden away in the dim recesses of our psyche.  We only allow them to emerge and have breath when we are either in a deep sleep or a severe traffic jam.

It is amazing to me how we many contexts and connotations a word can have and how it resonates differently to each person.

I chose the word vision because I noticed how often I stress it my team in terms of goal setting and building our business.

Sometimes, I  forget that one person’s vision, (their why, or reason for getting involved in a business opportunity)differs from mine or anyone else’s.  It really does come down to personal investment and preference.  It is why I don’t try to cookie cutter anyone into following the same type of vision as I may have for their business.

When I looked at the diverse definitions of vision it really made me “see” how unique and special each person’s can be.

How did you start your day today?  Could you literally write it down event by event?  I mean from rising out of the bed to brushing your teeth to…….oh crap! What did I do after that?

I think so many of us struggle with consistency in our lives.   And then, we decided to become network marketers. What we thought was going to be freedom quickly seem to eat up every hour in our day.  Before, we had someone set our own hours.  Now, the hours seem to tick away.  We used to have someone give us our duties to perform.  We now find ourselves having to create our Daily Mode of Operation.  We knew that if there were supplies that needed to be replenished, that we just had to put in a work order.  Our insurance, our travel, our overall stucture was in the hands of our employers.

Wow, when I put it like that, why WOULD I want to be an entrepreneur?

The serious entrepreneurs know the answer to that.  And for the ones that don’t, it’s pretty simple.

The same people who are in control of your schedule, are in control of your employment.  Take that with you on Monday morning.

This is the tap, tap, tap, in my head that I have lived with my whole career.  And a great career it is and continues to be. However, I really

I believe that we all inherently wish to have the financial stability, so that we can attain the LIFE we dream of having.

Oh, you know the thoughts.  The ones that hit you on your way to work, sitting in traffic.  The ones that cause the person behind you to frantically lean on their horn so you can fill the gap the has been created while you were off in your own dream state.

It’s a great place to be, and definitely a start.

What happens when you decide to take that plunge and become your own boss?

For me, it wasn’t too far off how I live day to day as an actor.

I equate our profession to that of a retired person.  Every day can either be what happens to us, or what we will make of it.

So, I started out like many.  I went to classes.  I worked in  a day job that gave me the flexibility to be able to audition. I looked to get involved in projects for free.  Basically, I made myself available to opporutnity.

My intent was to set something in motion, and hoped it would pan out.  Sometimes it did, most times it didn’t.  I felt many days as if I was spinning my wheels, but I still wished for my dream of actually doing nothing more than paying my bills as an actor.

I find that being in business for myself can often be very daunting some days.  The biggest part is having to leave the comfort of our misery to enter into the discomfort of uncertainity to attain our ultimate prosperity.

So, how do we do that?

I think it’s safe to say that (in the words of Jim Rohn) in order for things to change, we have to change.  Now, before you start getting all, “yeah, yeah, yeah, I know” like my teenagers often say, realize that you have to adopt what our employers have ingrained in our heads for years.  If you look at your new business like your first day on the job, you should adopt some of the good habits that kept you on track in that job.

Set Your Hours

You have been a 9-5er or 7-3er, or 6-6er, or whatever you’re schedule was for all this time.  The minute we don’t have a set time for our daily activities we wander. The difference is you don’t have to be spending those kinds of hours building your business.   So, punch your entrepreneurial time clock every day, whatever that is.  A little secret?  It’s not a continuous clock.  It can be broken up to fill in the time with your WHY for being in the business.  So, for lunch don’t just feed your stomach, feed your vision.  Find a quiet place OUT of the house.  Bring your lunch with you and flip through a travel, new homes, or boating magazine. That last one is obviously my favorite. Take your spouse out for that same lunch and discuss what their dreams are and ignite that passion in them.    Whatever flips that switch in you.  When you are full of that WHY take it back to your home office or whip out your computer, phone, and list of activities for your day and watch the kind of commitment you will have.

Don’t spend more than 25% of your time marketing your business online.

For many(myself included), we can plant ourselves behind our computers and get sucked into the vortex of busyness.

The internet is one of the greatest tools for most of us to reach out globally in our businesses.

The one thing we forget is that this is a PEOPLE business.   We should be connecting with people.  If we are not actively prospecting throughout our day, we are missing out on the real seeds of our business.  In order to build the house, you must be the mason.  It is much better to take on one task and master it, than to take on many different tasks because you think THIS will be the solution to your lack of growth in your business.

I remember being in my martial arts classes years ago and going over how to throw a front snap kick.  I practiced this kick over and over for weeks, months, and even years of my training.

There were other students that were definitely more proficient with other techniques than I.  However, because I had practiced this one technique so diligently, nobody could get in range of that kick.  I had figured out how to time it and vary it to the point that nobody knew quite if and when it was coming.

As this technique became a forte of mine, I was able to develop my other skills at a slower but steady pace.

So, the moral of the story is small continuous efforts applied daily to a single skill will produce massive results over time.

If you are a person who is looking to get a leg up on the competition and see what “The Masters” are doing and where they are invested, I am going to be attending one of the greatest gatherings of marketers on the planet Oct. 2 and 3 in Las Vegas.
