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.

My partner John Adams and I were recently completely blown away by the simplicity of a book(if you know me that says something)about keeping things small and simple in order to achieve great results.

The book is Darren Hardy’s “The Compound Effect”

We thought that with so much information out there that is FOR SALE, that we would gather together some of the biggest, brightest, and successful entrepreneurs in the industry today for a unique opportunity to do what so many entrepreneurs fail to do, and that is EDUCATE.

I, like so many of my business partners have been a great vessel and conduit for what I feel is the best information out there that places benefit in front of people.

We wish to be very clear.

WE ARE NOT PITCHING YOU OUR BUSINESSES!

YOU WILL NEVER HEAR ABOUT OUR OPPORTUNITIES!

We DO wish to grow a group of fellow entrepreneurs that are looking to spread the word to others that,

“YOU DO HAVE A CHOICE!”

This is our second installment of our continuing series on Darren Hardy’s  “The Compound Effect”

In this edition, we focus on choices.  How they can effect us positively or negatively.

We’ll be buttoning it with an addition by Network Marketing Leader Christopher Piraldi.

Here is the final installment and probably the greatest determining factor when learning to sponsor new reps into your business. The word ACT is the a great root to follow. It makes up many other words. Active, Action, and lastly Activity. This is where we step out of the thinking stage of our business and move(literally)into the doing stage.
Like anything, a snowball effect is created when we begin to invest in the actions that will either propel us forward, or invariably construct out ruin.
I am currently reading a wonderful book called The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy. Darren is the publisher of Success Magazine and is a what I would call an achievement coach. I do not receive any moneys from the promotion of this book, but I feel it is a wonderful resource that can help identify what our sticking points are in the pursuit of our own success.

The Right Activity

So much time tends to be wasted when you decide to embark on building your own business. Before you had a boss setting your schedule, and now you are literally the captain of your own ship. Trouble is, the wind tends to blow different directions every day and we can become victims to it.
There are certain activities that can help build up the leader in you.

1. Start your day reading 15 min. of something life affirming

You can either have bacon and eggs for breakfast every day, or you can have high fiber cereal with fruit. You decide which is better for you. The same goes for how you will deal with a “no” or a “yes.” If you are in a balanced place from the beginning of your day, you are more likely to create activities that will feed your productivity instead of your procrastination. Write an affirmation and put it in present tense. When you see it, you will become it.

2. Make prospecting calls

Believe it or not, I hate it as much as anyone, and I love to talk to people.  The difference is that we must go through the little fire of anticipation to come out the other side.  Here is a little tip.  As much as you feel you will perish from this process, you won’t.  I have made countless calls to prospects and team members and found like the old riding the bike adage purveys, it gets easier.  The 300 pound gorilla is the greatest killer of your financial freedom. Even though I love the internet for being able to reach out to hundreds of thousands of people. It can become a crutch for us all.

If you have leads that you know are waiting for your call,  or even if they aren’t, connect with them. Get in, dare I say it, a conversation! The worst thing that could happen is they hang up in 10 seconds. That is one less person on your list that wasn’t interested in changing their life you didn’t have to deal with. Believe me, as an actor the greatest gift I have is that I will repeat something so many times until it feels natural. You will always improve at something, the more you do it.

3. Get out of the house

If you want to be a networker, go out and network. Be in the midst of people. I’m not saying that you tackle people in malls, but the whole point to our business is to get out from behind the desk! You can do this business from anywhere! I love David Wood. He does half his webinars from the porch of his Costa Rican house. I am of the mind that in order to change your perspective, change your geography.

You can also connect with a team member. Someone brought you in. I’m sure there are certain initial or ongoing tasks that can be tackled. If you do them together, you get to go to lunch! And lunch time is ANYTIME and ANYWHERE you want it be.

Thanks for following through with this trilogy. I have a tendency to write more than less. I hope that this these tips proved helpful.

If you found value in any of these blogs, please re-post, tweet, digg, stumble, or anything else that gets it out there. Leave your websites so that I can visit and share comments with everyone as well.
Remember, every day is an opportunity to growth, hope, and change.

Choice is something can ignite fire or flame out.  Choose what your direction is.

And stick to it.

Good Day All!

This is the second installment of this blog.  Today we will address the most common pitfall of all the prospecting traps.  It’s the marriage of enthusiasm and immediacy when we get involved with a new opportunity or been in one for an extended period of time.

I’ll call it Wrestle and Puke.

Not the greatest title I know, but this is the exact picture in your prospects mind as they are going through the process with you.
