A review of current scientific studies by the Adult Stem Cell Foundation Advisory Board  &lt;br /&gt;
------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
A new understanding of the process of disease formation is now being better understood through a vast body of new scientific literature that has emerged over the past few years. Until now, the main approach to health was to take antioxidants or vitamins in order to prevent various diseases, or to use various drugs and therapies to treat diseases after being diagnosed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But recent developments in stem cell research point to a totally new means of maintaining health that consists in supporting the stem cell-based process of cellular renewal. For example, by increasing the number of circulating stem cells in the body, more stem cells are available to travel to the liver, pancreas, brain, heart, and other organs, contributing to disease prevention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have all heard about the fact that stem cells renew every organ in the body over differing periods of time. The truth of the matter is that this turnover time is almost impossible to determine and it varies from organ to organ.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the Principle remains true.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Whereas the lining of the intestine renews itself every 5 days or so, the liver renews itself every 2 years, and the lung every 4 years or so… even the brain would renew its self every 20-30 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These time lines do not matter much but what is important to understand is the balance between cells renewing to cells dying. If the body loses cells at such a rate, in order to remain healthy and functional, the body must renew itself at the same rate. This brings into play the other side of the equation: It is the role of the stem cells released from your bone marrow, to travel and do the day-to-day replacement of cells that are lost, ensuring the maintenance of optimal health.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is a natural process of tissue renewal taking place in our bodies every day of our lives, from the day we are born. This process whereby cells constantly die and in counterbalance cells are constantly renewed by stem cells migrating into tissues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So disease development would not be so much due to a loss of cells but rather to an imbalance between degeneration and stem cell-based regeneration. This imbalance must be corrected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If cells are lost faster than they can renew -&amp;gt; disease develops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If cells can renew faster than they are lost -&amp;gt; health ensues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If cells of the pancreas die faster than they can renew, diabetes slowly develops.&lt;br /&gt;
If cells of the brain are lost faster than they can renew, Parkinson for example or other brain disease develops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If stem cells can travel and renew these organs at a rate equal or faster than cell death, health is maintained. Stem cells are our first line protection in the fight against disease and anti-aging.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So this new theory begs the question - What are we doing to optimize stem cell production in our bodies? Keeping in mind as we age the body releases less Adult stem cells into the bloodstream.&lt;br /&gt;
Less stem cells means less repair when we need it most.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The answer is obvious, Consume Nutraceuticals that optimize stem cell production including stem cell enhancing natural products i.e. Colostrum. Reduce your calorie intake and exercise more often. Continue taking quality antioxidants and vitamins. Have a diet made up of many alkaline foods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All the above can improve the number and vitality of the stem cells circulating in your body, irrespective of your age. Adult stem cells are our first line protection in the fight against disease and anti-aging. A new paradigm in preventative health has arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, is this the answer we all crave to anti aging and living to 120 healthy years?&lt;br /&gt;

This &quot;early&quot; milk has a nutrient profile and immunological composition substantially different from &quot;mature&quot; milk as it helps the newborn develop in its first week of life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The purpose of bovine colostrum is to provide the calf with antibodies and nutrition that will aid in the fortification of the immune system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bovine colostrum contains many beneficial substances. The most important of these substances are: Immunoglobins, Lactoferin, Proline-Rich Polypeptide, Cytokines and Vitamins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is NOT &quot;MILK&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Colostrum is known to contain antibodies called immunoglobulins such as IgA, IgG, and IgM in mammals. IgA is absorbed through the intestinal epithelium, travels through the blood, and is secreted onto other Type 1 mucosal surfaces. These are the major components of the adaptive immune system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other immune components of colostrum include the major components of the innate immune system, such as lactoferrin, lysozyme, lactoperoxidase, complement and proline-rich polypeptides (PRP).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A number of cytokines (small messenger peptides that control the functioning of the immune system) are found in bovine colostrum as well, including interleukin, tumor necrosis factor, chemo kines, and others. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Colostrum Bovine is very rich in proteins, vitamin A, and sodium chloride, but contains lower amounts of carbohydrates, lipids, and potassium than normal milk. The most pertinent bio active components in colostrum are growth factors and antimicrobial factors. The antibodies in colostrum provide passive immunity, while growth factors stimulate the development of the gut. They are passed to the neonate and provide the first protection against pathogens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Improvements over several years of development have been focus on transferring the benefits of Colostrum from mammal to mammal, human consumption of Bovine Colostrum has been part of mans history for centuries. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YOUR IMMUNITY &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bovine Colostrum is the only safe alternative for human consumption. The immune and growth factors found in bovine Colostrum are virtually identical to human Colostrum, the immune factors are reportedly up to 4 times richer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dr. Lance Wright, M.D., a leading researcher on colostrum, talks about its benefits.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The immune factors and co-factors in colostrum activate a baby’s immune system and they can bring more normal function back to a dysfunctional adult immune system. ...Colostrum is also known to induce more rapid healing of injured tissue... “The benefits with auto-immune diseases and viruses are some of the most profound because we really have no other way to effectively treat these conditions. Studies show that colostrum will reduce the virus levels in the body from 100 to 1000-fold. &lt;br /&gt;
“Colostrum also has some very significant effects with allergies, chronic fatigue syndrome, compromised digestive tract, decreased mental alertness, depression, osteoporosis and yeast infections. That’s just a few of the many conditions that are helped. Because colostrum is a food and because it is so safe, it probably should be tried on almost all illnesses that we suffer from.” Lance Wright explains the major reason why colostrum may be good for you. “In 1983, Polish researchers discovered a small protein chain called Proline-Rich Polypeptide (PRP) in colostrum. This immune factor was found to have the same ability to regulate the immune system as the hormones of the thymus gland do. PRP is able to stimulate T-cell precursors to form T helper-1 cells, thereby promoting the immune system into action against pathogens. “More impressive, however, in relation to auto-immune disease, is PRP’s ability to ‘turn off’ the immune response. “It does this by telling the T-cell precursors to produce T-cell suppressor cells. These are the cells that slow down an overactive immune system, thereby stopping the attack on the body’s own tissue. “Further studies showed that PRP was not species specific, meaning that PRP in bovine colostrum could be used very effectively to combat a multitude of human auto-immune diseases. “The growth factors available in non-denatured colostrum can then repair the damage done by the disease. Growth factors also work to stimulate tissue repair in the skin, the myelin sheath and other connective tissue throughout the body reducing pain and swelling, and increasing mobility and freedom.” &lt;br /&gt;

Much of the excitement about colostrum has been generated by testimonials, anecdotal reports as well as the marketing efforts of several new supplement manufacturers and distributors. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The past 20 years has also witnessed the publication of over 6000 research papers strongly supportive of both colostrum and its numerous components. The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the scientific evidence for the clinical application of a promising immune system modulator.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In  Colostrum, Life&#39;s First Food (33), Dr. Daniel G. Clark&#39;s basic message, as printed on the back cover of his book, is that &quot;bovine colostrum rebuilds the immune system, destroys viruses, bacteria(17,18) and fungi, accelerates healing of all body tissue, helps lose weight, burn fat, increase bone and lean muscle mass and slows down and even reverses aging.&quot; According to Clark and the well-known naturopathic physician, Dr. Bernard Jensen (34), colostrum has a therapeutic role to play in AIDS, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, allergies, herpes(38), bacterial(15), viral and parasitic(1) infections, gingivitis, colds, the flu and much more. Colostrum has antioxidant properties, is anti-inflammatory  and is a source of many vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Colostrum Rediscovered&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Historically, Ayurvedic physicians have used bovine colostrum therapeutically in   India for thousands of years. In the US and throughout the world, conventional doctors used it for antibiotic purposes prior to the introduction of sulfa drugs and penicillin. In the early 1950&#39;s, colostrum was prescribed extensively for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. In 1950, Dr. Albert Sabin (12,26), the polio vaccine developer, discovered that colostrum contained antibodies against polio and recommended it for children susceptible to catching polio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHY DO WE NEED COLOSTRUM AS ADULTS?   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we age, we notice it takes us a little longer to fight off a cold or flu, we become more vulnerable to disease, our energy and enthusiasm lessen, our skin loses its elasticity, we gain unwanted weight and lose muscle tone. After maturity, we gradually lose the immune and growth factors in our body. This impacts us to search for anti-aging and health products and knowledge. We&#39;ve looked to plants and minerals for an answer, isolating and mega dosing on micro-nutrients (vitamins and minerals). Recently we&#39;ve become more aware, thanks to the media, about the dangers of this hit and miss approach. With killer bugs at our doorstep, we need to look to what was designed specifically for the survival of our species. Aging, illness and death occur with the loss of immune and growth factors in our bodies. Medical science has shown in hundreds of published reports worldwide that these can possibly be replaced in the human body....with bovine colostrum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Acosta-Altamirano, G., et al., Anti-amoebic properties of human colostrum.

Can we extend the use by date ? well yes if you understand your body is no different to a finely tuned and maintained machine. The one thing we can do is repair ourselves from within. Just as we can self destruct from within, it is important to learn how to avoid the later. I have been around this project now for a short but intense time generating a passion in me to learn more and get the message out to you. &lt;br /&gt;There has been a lot of discussions on Stem Cells and theories about the cause and effect they have on the state of your health. So being involved in the Wellness Industry I gathered up from various sources of information and leads to the best therapies and products and people that are seriously involved. &lt;br /&gt;It is a very new area and the possibilities are awesome and the key is to stay healthy by prevention rather than getting a disease and looking for a cure. The bottom line is if you maintain Stem Cell release as you age your body can replace dying cells and regenerate organ damage efficiently.&lt;br /&gt;Now here is the punch line, you may think well I am ok WRONG very WRONG. This blew me away...... You use 40% of your Stem Cells by the time you reach 25 years of age, by the time you reach 50 you are down to about 50%, for the really important part from that 50% the decline is dramatic and reduces to a 10% release until you die. &lt;br /&gt;This is the key IF YOU START LOOKING AFTER YOUR STEM CELLS AND SUPPORT AND ENHANCE STEM CELL RELEASE,  your body will repair itself reducing the onset of degenerative diseases, how many people do you know that have Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, Diabetes 1 &amp; 2, Stroke, Alzheimer’s, Spinal Cord injuries, Liver diseases, Myocardial infarction, (to name a few), and are now striking down young people as well, there are more people suffering from degenerative diseases than the dreaded big &quot;C&quot; cancer. Yet most researchers still have not much to offer in the way a cures just yet and hopefully within 5 to 10 years. If you contract a degenerative disease now what is there for you NOW, not a lot unfortunately outside drugs and the side effects.&lt;br /&gt;Have a look at stem cell enancing products at http://www.newimageaustralia.co.nz worth a vist.&lt;br /&gt;Getting back to the alternative, STEM CELLS.

As we get older, our natural production of adult stem cells diminishes, and we start to see signs of aging and less than optimal functioning of our organs and tissues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Colostrum products have proven to be very beneficial in staying healthy and slowing down the aging process.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This is the key IF YOU START LOOKING AFTER YOUR STEM CELLS AND SUPPORT AND ENHANCE STEM CELL RELEASE,  your body will repair itself reducing the onset of degenerative diseases, how many people do you know that have Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, Diabetes 1 &amp; 2, Stroke, Alzheimer’s, Spinal Cord injuries, Liver diseases, Myocardial infarction, (to name a few), and are now striking down young people as well, there are more people suffering from degenerative diseases than the dreaded big &quot;C&quot; cancer. Yet most researchers still have not much to offer in the way a cures just yet and hopefully within 5 to 10 years.

Most types of flu infections are mainly transmitted by airborne droplets expelled  by infected carriers or hygienic practices being compromised. Once you have breathed in the infection it will look to multiply causing symptoms like fever, muscle pain, sore throat and mucus.  Your immune system would best be served by immediate boosting in Colostrum intake and looking at the forgotten asset of Vitamin C, it is not regarded as trendy any more but does do wonders. Always check with your doctor if you are not sure about high dosages, as it would be beneficial particularly if you think you are coming down with a cold or flu, look to take about 2000mg Vitamin C per day, get your doctor to monitor your progress. My key principle is that PREVENTION is far better than trying to find a cure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you do not already take colostrum then I strongly suggest you get this product asap. I sell it from my website, http://newimagemarketing.com.au/shop/index.php?cPath=21&amp;osCsid=98d73817b315e763c8d69daf61ebfe33 and will deliver anywhere in the world. The difference in Colostrum is the delivery system, ALPHA LIPID TM - a patented exclusive coating&lt;br /&gt;formulated with added complex lipids which enhance the solubility of colostrum. Some powders, such as colostrum can clump together and pass through the body without being fully utilised. The increased solubility obtained from ALPHA LIPID TM Lifeline allows a more effective delivery of colostrum to key areas of the body, and this creates a positive effect on the liver, gut and brain function.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can buy Colostrum from other sources but just make sure it is a quality product. Do your homework and try to get from a reputable source.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stay away from people that are coughing or sneezing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This information is not in any way meant to diagnosis and refer to your medical practitioner to monitor your condition if you show any symptoms of illness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am sure by the result of my previous post &quot;Testimonials&quot; that Colostrum is a great way to be at optimum immunity to face the future with confidence.</content><link rel='enclosure' type='text/html' href='http://www.newimagemarketing.com.au/colostrum.htm' length='0'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/3347493651324103473/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/13660912/3347493651324103473' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/3347493651324103473'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/3347493651324103473'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2009/05/swine-flu.html' title='Swine Flu'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-1622245172938661029</id><published>2009-04-18T16:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-18T16:38:27.679-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Testimonials</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;entry&quot;&gt;      &lt;div class=&quot;snap_preview&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have always valued what people do, this came to my attention from a friend that was a little doubtful about the value of Colostrum.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;&quot; lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;“I trust this finds you fit and well.

BUT – we can still be attacked by viruses. Which is what happened to me last Thursday afternoon. You know the symptoms; dry and sore throat, dizziness, severe muscle soreness and weakness and so on. I even struggled to climb the stairs. What surprised me was the speed of this attack (about an hour) and there was little warning. I knew that the fight was on, especially with 6 income-producing musical engagements over the next 4 days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;&quot; lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;So, from Thursday afternoon to Friday afternoon I used all 4 forms of Colostrum, taking about 6000 mgs – about what the Olympic athletes use.  By last night most of the symptoms were gone. The only adjustment we made was Helen driving me on Friday morning to Arcadia.  This morning – Saturday &amp;amp; just 36 hours later – I’m almost 100%. No time lost, no medications at all, no visit to our doctor, and all well with 3 weddings (and a funeral!), church services and business meetings. Totally different result from our pre-colostrum days!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;&quot; lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;(A brief comment about Colostrum; it is a fully functional highly nutritious food that strengthens and stabilises our Immune systems, making it very hard for pathogens / viruses to take hold. It is the pre-milk fluid that a mammal feeds her baby. We have it available in 4 types of delivery systems).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;&quot; lang=&quot;EN-AU&quot;&gt;We have lots of scientific reports and, if you would like to know more just ask.

For years I have been focused on the mental strength you need to succeed and discovered that strength presents itself in many ways. I had a friend that I considered strong in all aspects, except one Friday afternoon he just dropped dead, it truly shocked me as my friend and I had planned so much together, yet now he has given me another path to discover.&lt;br /&gt;Life and business work in cycles, today most people are worried about tomorrow while they should be focused on today. You can change so much of your future by what you do &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;NOW&lt;/span&gt;. Your Health is no different, is what are you doing right now continue to give you a quality lifestyle and freedom, money alone can&#39;t give you lifestyle, you have to live that!! but how if you can&#39;t get off your chair because your weight makes you start sweating before you take your first step or you catch every cold or illness that is going around and have you discovered aches and pains that slow you down, so now you may ask &quot;what is going wrong&quot;&lt;br /&gt;Well here&#39;s the scoop once you are born you then heading towards dying. Did that shock you.... well it sure did shock me. Guess what! you can have impact on &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;&quot;WHEN&quot;&lt;/span&gt; , That really impressed me.&lt;br /&gt;Your body is always in conflict within and outside it&#39;s own environment, for every good process is a bad process and when the bad processes takes control then you feel sick. So mammals have developed over thousands of years a protection called &quot;The Immune System&quot; &lt;br /&gt;The great thing is your never too young or too old to rebuild your immune system, it just a matter of finding out how. Well I have found out and with great success, This might sound like a huge advert so don&#39;t shot the messenger &quot;Alpha Lipid Lifeline&quot;&lt;br /&gt;Let me ask you an honest question, If you found a gold field would you use you hands to dig up the gold or would you get serious and get a few friends and the right equipment together and then get into it. This is the goldfield of opportunity and you are helping lots of people find their health and well being that will spread like wildfire developing huge financial rewards for those with vision. &lt;br /&gt;Check out the link on Colostrum.&lt;br /&gt;I will be posting more info based on your comments and questions &lt;br /&gt;Contact me and anywhere in the world we can share this reward together</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/5964138853149002273/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/13660912/5964138853149002273' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/5964138853149002273'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/5964138853149002273'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2009/02/immunity-and-colostrum.html' title='Immunity and Colostrum'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-3136094636958587557</id><published>2008-06-04T17:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-05T03:31:06.180-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Conditioning Yourself for Success</title><content type='html'>I heard a story of a young boy that was doing badly at school. The school was able to invest in computers and from that day on this young boy improved dramatically in all areas of his education, when asked how did he do it he said that his computer calls him Malcolm but his friends called him &quot;Stupid&quot;&lt;br /&gt;I have been writing my blog for some years now and without repeating myself I see so many people just going down life&#39;s path with their dreams buried or pushed into the background. The worst thing about that is they don&#39;t even know any better, a conditioning thing I guess, I wonder how many times they might have been told they were stupid or that they would not amount to anything more than..... or they would end up in jail or they where just a mean child, finally they could never do anything good. Yes it is the words we speak that are very powerful and to a child we give their direction and instructions with those words. On average by the time a child is an adult they are told up to 17000 times what they are going to be, are we careful on what we are instructing our children to be?&lt;br /&gt;With our future in our hands it is now your chance to change that direction. How do you talk to yourself, are you conditioning yourself to succeed when opportunity comes your way, what are the words that ring in your ear, is it positive, I hope so. You are responsible for your thinking which will get you what you desire and deserve.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/3136094636958587557/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/13660912/3136094636958587557' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/3136094636958587557'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/3136094636958587557'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2008/06/conditioning-yourself-for-success.html' title='Conditioning Yourself for Success'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-414512644160041296</id><published>2008-05-31T04:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-31T05:02:50.234-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Learning Curve</title><content type='html'>Like many people I have shared interesting situations and been very happy to learn from others.

How do you know when you are really having a great day unless you have experienced a not so good day. It is not the situation you are in it how you deal with the experience. Children learn constantly then something starts to happen as they grow older, as a juvenile they know it all, then comes a period of awakening, it sometimes takes many years but finally you get to know that you don&#39;t know all that much and finally you get to the stage when you know that you know that you do not know anything of any great significance. An old saying &quot;a Jack of all trades and a master of none&quot;&lt;br /&gt;My message is simple, enjoy the fact that you have the rest of your life to have some fantastic experiences and search for them, you can design  your future with a plan.

A famous gentleman once said, &quot;I was so impressed with the product that I bought the company.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;I have always wondered how people react to situations. Now if I was to post an article that would ask for a hand out I might get some result and or some donations for my time but if I am prepared to invest effort and teaching that could bring some benefit to the environment plus generate a financial return, then that is questionable or commercial. &lt;br /&gt;Bottom line, my first step is, am looking for 10,000 people to change the way they look at using fossil fuels. Then in that exchange someone has to buy something so that a change can happen, now out of the exchange there are clear winners,&lt;br /&gt;No1 the Environment, &lt;br /&gt;No2 the Consumer, &lt;br /&gt;No3 the Promoter. &lt;br /&gt;What comes first is what is most IMPORTANT because all the money in the world can&#39;t do anything if we don&#39;t have a world to enjoy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now it&#39;s your call, how is your mindset now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more info contact me and let us together get my plan into action, without your participation I am just flapping my gums.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/7990050372010625454/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/13660912/7990050372010625454' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/7990050372010625454'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/7990050372010625454'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2007/02/changing-peoples-mindset.html' title='Changing Peoples Mindset'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-116960218997805995</id><published>2007-01-23T16:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-01-23T22:28:13.696-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Who Likes Change</title><content type='html'>It is incredible how time just evaporates but I am back, that is if you would like more. As part of my commitment to my blog readers I would like to maintain this blog with new posts as many times as possible, although my past posts are things I have learnt on my journey thus far and could benefit anyone if they are prepared to take it and do something with it. My new posts will be informative and have some business tips on making money in direct marketing, If your interest is to get more info, that is fine just sent me a email and I am happy to respond.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes &quot;Change&quot; this year is the year of big changes, some welcomed and some not, have we got the power to stop change? Well it like time itself, it will happen. The answer is what you do with the change, how do you create more out of change to gain momentum. A great little saying goes like this &quot;Build momentum by accumulating small successes&quot; So now to look at change from a different prospective what success can you develop from the change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is now is up to you because you and only you know what it is you want, use change to your advantage develop a whole new momentum and pile on as many successes as you can. As you continue on your journey some will be still see change as a liability not an asset and they will become more caught up in asking &quot;WHY ME&quot; instead of &quot;WHY NOT&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good luck this year, remember LUCK stands for Labouring Under Correct Knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The more I learn the luckier I get.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/116960218997805995/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/13660912/116960218997805995' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/116960218997805995'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/116960218997805995'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2007/01/who-likes-change.html' title='Who Likes Change'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-113091571076196862</id><published>2006-01-26T14:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-25T19:17:52.736-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Growth</title><content type='html'>The act, process, or manner of growing; development; gradual increase.

Real leaders invest in themselves first before they can invest in others.&lt;br /&gt;Knowledge of the task at hand, information and solid support is vital to success of any project, it must be worth your investment in time and resources. The sure fire formula for success is a &lt;strong&gt;DREAM + OPPORTUNITY + EFFORT= SUCCESS&lt;/strong&gt; but this is in general terms, lets break it down into achievable chunks.&lt;br /&gt;Starting with the &lt;strong&gt;GOAL. &lt;/strong&gt;Unless you attach an emotional link to your goal it would be always vulnerable to the winds of change, that is the minute you set off on any goal tests seem to start happening, this could be the form of negative information or negative people, financial struggles, health challenges with yourself or family or with your team members. Remember goals are just stepping stones to your dream, so let&#39;s not get all protective about dreams as the biggest entrepreneurs are the biggest dreamers and the way to see those dreams come true is to continue achieving goals set to a time frame with a action plan that moves towards that dream.&lt;br /&gt;With the goal set in concrete without interference from any source, only then can the journey begin. Staying focused but not blind to real issues is a balance that not many people can achieve as it will take strong vision and persistence to break down barriers that will take you into uncharted waters. I call these barriers, membranes of growth, they can be vital in supporting the concept but restrictive in fast development and expansion, you can stretch them a little allowing you to go so far and at the same time holding you back from the next great leap in developing the future. Applying pressure to break through is vital and when you do move on, the process can give you many rewards like satisfaction and experience. So pressure can be good provided it is not stress, working under pressure develops performance but stress can fracture and destroy.&lt;br /&gt;In my next post we will work on the ten average reasons that most people put pressure on themselves.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/113091571076196862/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/13660912/113091571076196862' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/113091571076196862'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/113091571076196862'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2006/01/growth.html' title='Growth'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-113081936239062874</id><published>2005-11-01T15:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-10-31T20:29:22.483-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Extraordinary</title><content type='html'>To be beyond what is ordinary, to be exceptional, unusual; remarkable.

People that I see as extraordinary have invested a little &lt;strong&gt;extra&lt;/strong&gt; than the average and with constant and persistent effort they have risen to levels of success that all people admire.

Take a financial example, in 1943 Anne Scheiber retired from the IRS where she worked as an auditor until she was 51 years old. Her income at retirement was $3150 per annum yet at her passing she left an estate worth 22 million dollars. Frugal in her lifestyle Anne Scheiber understood the effect of compounding the return from her investments in the stock market, she had been there for the long haul without taking the profit and spending it. She died at the age of 101 and had managed to amass a huge fortune but the price she paid was she missed out on lifestyle. It is hard to have both without risking the very investment required to bring in the return, that is the trap most people find with wanting the material comforts verses the economic comfort. How can you apply this lesson to your current situation, well the secret is to understand that you invest yourself DAILY compounding your SKILLS, collecting and developing your emotional strength, building your vision, discipline your attitude and care about people, with this you will emerge with a tag of leadership creating momentum towards a tangible result in any field you apply yourself at.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Success is compounding your knowledge and experience to understand what you know and what you don&#39;t know. This is the competence that will make you highly effective and respected. If you are in it for the long haul then the sooner you start the better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recommend this site to a friend&lt;/strong&gt; ; use the business link</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/113035830355007368/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/13660912/113035830355007368' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/113035830355007368'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/113035830355007368'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2005/10/compound-effect.html' title='Compound Effect'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-112925914994871127</id><published>2005-10-19T14:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-10-18T21:47:52.853-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Perception</title><content type='html'>Are you trapped into believing that your job is the only way to financial security? Many describe this as &quot;Pay Check mentality&quot; attached to this label you will find some real issues such as &quot;Fear&quot; and &quot;Denial&quot;, making anyone that is works under this perception exposed to the &quot;Ostrich Syndrome&quot; which is to live their life with their head deep in a hole with a perception that nothing can happen because they can&#39;t see it. Likewise people not accepting that their security is neglegable based on their perception that they are indispensable, that their job description will not change or that it will always exist, provided you don&#39;t rock the boat things will stay the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can still earn the pay check but become independent of it, creating your own security controlled by &lt;strong&gt;You. &lt;/strong&gt;In the process of building a global business it has to start from your belief in the outcome no matter what the current situation is, many people start from humble beginnings to become very wealthy. They can be branded as lucky, you make your own luck by increasing your knowledge then put it into &lt;strong&gt;ACTION,&lt;/strong&gt; knowledge found in books will only be knowledge until applied.&lt;br /&gt;So now get your head right and find out what will give you your goals, I recommend a program that requires your part time effort and has the potential to generate more than you get as a full time occupation. Vision is sometimes wasted on people with sight, they are blind to opportunity or oblivious to what is on offer, going from day to day, through the motions but not feeling passionate about their life and themselves.&lt;br /&gt;Now lets qualify what we want.&lt;br /&gt;1. A business without investment in carrying stock.&lt;br /&gt;2. No Risk, no debt, no handling money, no handling of product for delivery.&lt;br /&gt;3. Guaranteed incomes.&lt;br /&gt;4. The ability to create Passive Income&lt;br /&gt;5. Free holidays and extra benefits.&lt;br /&gt;6. Part time without risking my current income.&lt;br /&gt;7.

A Mentor and coach for free that supports your business development.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now if you have would like access these opportunities then drop me a line and we can see if you qualify.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recommend site to a friend,&lt;/strong&gt; link is a way to share this with your friends or email the link.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/112925914994871127/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/13660912/112925914994871127' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112925914994871127'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112925914994871127'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2005/10/perception.html' title='Perception'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-112901342068076026</id><published>2005-10-11T17:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-10-11T00:13:59.033-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Butterfly Story</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/1600/Butterfly%20Picture.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 309px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 199px; TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/Butterfly%20Picture.jpg&quot; width=&quot;289&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are times when you need to share, This is one of those times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day, a small opening appeared in a cocoon; a man sat and watched for the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole.&lt;br /&gt;Then, it seems to stop making any progress.&lt;br /&gt;It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could not go any further.&lt;br /&gt;So the man decided to help the butterfly: he took a pair of scissors and opened the cocoon.&lt;br /&gt;The butterfly then emerged easily.&lt;br /&gt;But it had a withered body, it was tiny and shriveled wings.&lt;br /&gt;The man continued to watch because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would open, enlarge and expand, to be able to support the butterfly’s body, and become firm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a withered body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.&lt;br /&gt;What the man, in his kindness and his goodwill did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening, were nature’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings, so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, struggles are exactly what we need in our life.&lt;br /&gt;If we were allowed to go through our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as we could have been. Never been able to fly.&lt;br /&gt;I asked for Strength...&lt;br /&gt;and I was given difficulties to make me strong.&lt;br /&gt;I asked for Wisdom...&lt;br /&gt;and I was given problems to solve.&lt;br /&gt;I asked for prosperity...&lt;br /&gt;and I was given a brain and brawn to work.&lt;br /&gt;I asked for Courage…..&lt;br /&gt;and I was given obstacles to overcome.&lt;br /&gt;I asked for Love...&lt;br /&gt;and I was given troubled people to help&lt;br /&gt;I asked for Favors...&lt;br /&gt;And I was given Opportunities.&lt;br /&gt;“I received nothing I wanted...&lt;br /&gt;But I received everything I needed.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Live life without fear, confront all obstacles and know that you can overcome them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recommend site to a friend&lt;/strong&gt; link is a great way to share these ideas.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/112901342068076026/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/13660912/112901342068076026' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112901342068076026'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112901342068076026'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2005/10/butterfly-story.html' title='Butterfly Story'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-112881132878479841</id><published>2005-10-09T21:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-10-09T04:54:42.660-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Diversification</title><content type='html'>Diversify is to vary (investments), to extend one&#39;s activities especially in business, over more than one field. The ability to have &lt;strong&gt;Multiple Incomes&lt;/strong&gt; is a very sound concept in today&#39;s changing world for many reasons. Unfortunately for some, that only go down one path in life, can be exposed to financial hardship and at worst have no choices with their investments if things don&#39;t go to plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.&lt;/strong&gt; Job Security, is that an issue?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2.&lt;/strong&gt; Unexpected Family expenses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3.&lt;/strong&gt; Educational Expenses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4.&lt;/strong&gt; Inability to work due to illness or injury.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5.&lt;/strong&gt; Changing costs of interest rates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6.&lt;/strong&gt; Inflation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just one of these challenges is enough to create difficult financial choices let alone two or three at the same time. Recently due to natural disasters, which were out of anyone&#39;s control, whole communities and the people that live within them, lives have been wrecked along with their homes, their workplace and now forced to rebuild or move on to make a fresh start somewhere.&lt;br /&gt;Would it be fair to say that you find that most people spend their income on their home, car and general family expenses and have little over for anything else? What about retirement, who said you had to be sixty five, you can retire when you can afford too.

Knowledge is the key to growth and growth requires more knowledge. The internet is increasing our knowledge base at an incredible pace and will until the next generation of global communications is developed.&lt;br /&gt;Information transfer is how ideas are developed, as we translate knowledge it into subjects that we store, something sparks a &lt;strong&gt;What if question&lt;/strong&gt; and then the process begins. That is what we do, some make it happen, some watch it happen and others say what happened, the one&#39;s that make it happen are the people with vision. We tend to put them on a pedestal and wish that we had thought of it first but they only saw the same information but viewed it with a different perspective.&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I am only a ............&quot; Or &quot;I am a ...........&quot; Labeling ourselves and sitting on the shelf for 40 hours a week for 45 years or until the use by date is reached can be the danger, for some it is going to be their stumbling block to developing opportunities, if that is the case what it comes down to is they simply have accepted their lot in life and even with a gold mine in the back yard, it would be too much trouble to go buy a shovel.&lt;br /&gt;That is fine if that is what you may want but if you don&#39;t, then what? Go back to school, I bet that would be is exciting for a while but who pays the bills if you have a mortgage, funds the expenses for the family or your current lifestyle and how can you develop something that you love dearly, some spare time. Yes to improve your lifestyle you do have to give up to get up.&lt;br /&gt;So what else is out there? Plenty of great opportunities in different styles of business or work, what is the cost in time, Would you like to have leverage to gain back time because this can be the difference between a good opportunity and a truly great opportunity. Everyone has their own opinion because of self interest. Look hard at all the different options, because it is worth it when you take action and get out there to grab a fistful of your dreams.&lt;br /&gt;This is my way of sharing my opinion without the self interest, by writing this blog I hope that you do something, anything that can get you your goals and dreams. Compare real things that are tangible, when you are ready just take a look at the business links on this blog, part time effort with guaranteed incomes that can surpass your current income or have extra to do the special things that you can&#39;t do now. With this opportunity I am bias and the information is yours to pursue because it has done that for my family and we are all looking for &lt;strong&gt;MORE TIME&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why not get more &lt;strong&gt;KNOWLEDGE&lt;/strong&gt; studying the Business Links and get started on the translation for you and your family, your perspective might change what you see in it and so will your lifestyle. If you choose to journey with us or another opportunity I wish you great success because it is your goal and dream that will come true for you. My hope is to have inspired you to step out of your comfort zone, find those dreams and goals that have been put out of your minds sight and search for opportunities to make them come true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recommend site to a friend&lt;/strong&gt; link is a great way to share these ideas.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/112859195687347631/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/13660912/112859195687347631' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112859195687347631'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112859195687347631'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2005/10/opportunity-take-it-or-leave-it.html' title='Opportunity, Take It or Leave it'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-112848948040446039</id><published>2005-10-05T15:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-10-04T22:53:07.020-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Financial Freedom</title><content type='html'>To obtain Financial Freedom most people miss the mark when they start out. Here is a simple formula that will work to start you on your way     &lt;strong&gt;Goal + Opportunity + Effort = Success&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This the foundation of every successful entrepreneur I have shared information with, it is so simple but effective. I may go over these points in different posts because like a wheel the spokes are the strength that support the weight of the vehicle from the road to the axle. The larger the weight the more spokes you need, so with this in mind the larger the goal the stronger and more disciplined you must be. Let&#39;s apply this to the&lt;strong&gt; Effort&lt;/strong&gt; part of this formula.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.&lt;/strong&gt; Do the work&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2.&lt;/strong&gt; Work out what is successful and stop what is not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3.&lt;/strong&gt; Disciplines in time management with balance always a priority.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4.&lt;/strong&gt; Duplicate successful people by finding a mentor that will share and encourage your vision.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5.&lt;/strong&gt; Systems work, so work out a system by following one or developing one that suits you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6.&lt;/strong&gt; Be yourself, like any gem add value by polishing all your facets by Personal Development.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7.&lt;/strong&gt; Reward yourself only when your effort is consistent with your timetable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;8.&lt;/strong&gt; Be persistent, it&#39;s your goal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9.&lt;/strong&gt; Ethics are always valued and admired, so work in this area, you can never be too humble.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10.&lt;/strong&gt; Your efforts are valuable when invested in others, give of yourself first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this formula we have&lt;strong&gt; Opportunity&lt;/strong&gt; and there are many out there in this wide world so it is very important for you to define what success means to you personally. In my previous post &lt;strong&gt;WHY&lt;/strong&gt; expands my views on this subject, so it is with experience that I can recommend what I have found to be the opportunity that gives the best balance in time and effort and reward. Check out the links and study what is on offer, get the facts from the right sources you will be impressed with the progress &lt;strong&gt;Opportunity&lt;/strong&gt; has.&lt;br /&gt;AS from July 1 2005, this organization has opened operations in United States, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Philippines, South Africa, Brunie, Started in 1990 this very unique Australian opportunity already operate very successfully in Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia and Singapore. As a member &lt;strong&gt;You&lt;/strong&gt; can operate from any of the countries and build in all with a seamless plan generating passive incomes for those who have a GOAL that seize the opportunity and are willing to invest the effort.&lt;br /&gt;Next post is your selection I will choose a subject from you questions so now the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Forum is Open.

How do thoughts become real? I believe with a channeled focus and action all thoughts can become real objects or circumstances. A simple example in the material sense is the building you live in, let&#39;s say it is a house. The events that occurred to have that house built started as a thought, the developer had a plan to make money from this thought, he gave his concept to project manager who then transferred the thought of the proposed dwelling to an architect that put the thought onto paper in the way of a drawing and plans. The next step was from the plans came the finished item that you call home. In the process the thought had passed through many minds, A &lt;strong&gt;Thought&lt;/strong&gt; then &lt;strong&gt;ACTION&lt;/strong&gt; plus a written &lt;strong&gt;Plan&lt;/strong&gt; is the only process the house was completed to become reality. Are you following your life&#39;s plan? OR is you life constructed by other people&#39;s plan for you.&lt;br /&gt;As you entertain various thoughts, they can be of things you don&#39;t want and here any thought can become an expectation. Unfortunately the way the world is today we are feed information of a less than optimistic nature, check any headlines in the news. We have been programmed to have a less than positive attitude about the future because good news does not sell as good as bad news. So now we are in danger of entertaining attitudes that generate fear, an acronym for fear is &lt;strong&gt;F&lt;/strong&gt;alse &lt;strong&gt;E&lt;/strong&gt;xpectations &lt;strong&gt;A&lt;/strong&gt;ppearing &lt;strong&gt;R&lt;/strong&gt;eal. How many times does that little voice in your head tell you that you are kidding yourself, that it could never become real for you, that you would only fail if you attempted it. Coupled with the chorus of other voices from well meaning friends and relatives that want to protect you from disappointment?????&lt;br /&gt;So be careful of your thoughts as they can herald your future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More to come next post, Financial Freedom obtained with a very simple formula.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Recommend site to a friend link is a great way to share what you may think is important.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/112829833984304139/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/13660912/112829833984304139' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112829833984304139'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112829833984304139'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2005/10/visualization.html' title='Visualization'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-112812882805973749</id><published>2005-10-01T18:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-10-01T01:13:47.350-07:00</updated><title type='text'>THE WHY</title><content type='html'>To understand &quot;&lt;strong&gt;SUCCESS&lt;/strong&gt; &quot;it is imperative to understand what it is that success will give you, without knowing what it is that drives you makes it all just a wish. I hear many wishes, what the extra money can do and most times it is the material things people wish for first; they may start with the new car, the new boat, holidays , for the extravagant big diamond ring, just stuff in general and that is all fine BUT to wish for something, is it enough? Will it drive you to the dreams and goals that every day occupations don&#39;t seem to get you. I have never ever seen anyone become wealthy on a average to medium salary, and even if you made it to the top position in the corporate jungle what would the time aspect be like?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Success is more than just money, it&#39;s Balance. &lt;/strong&gt;this will help you with some exercises that develop your thinking process and the way you go about&lt;strong&gt; Success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Let&#39;s start by writing down a list, on one side what you want and on the other side what you don&#39;t want. This can make some interesting reading if you are absolutely honest with yourself. Then from the general list of wants and don&#39;t wants write your &lt;strong&gt;MASTER LIST. &lt;/strong&gt;This can be the your turning point if you understand what you have done, think a little about it, you have now got the raw plan for your future, more work has to be invested by you and that will come in my next posts but for now let&#39;s clean up the list. Get real about your resources and the investment required in all areas such as time, focus and discipline. Your master list had better be what you mean to make happen or it all just reverts back to a wish. If you then go over each item on your list and prioritize each &lt;strong&gt;Want&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Don&#39;t Want, &lt;/strong&gt;then put a date of completion next to each. Rewrite the list in date order and revise the importance relevant to each item and get real, emotionally. You have just poured out your hearts dreams on paper, which makes it more than just a thought, if you can&#39;t get emotional about it your wasting your time. It&#39;s got to be so important that you would be devastated if you failed to make it happen in your lifetime. This can relate to all areas of your life, not just business.&lt;br /&gt;This is your life my friend &lt;strong&gt;respect&lt;/strong&gt; it and &lt;strong&gt;value&lt;/strong&gt; it because you have only one. Remember we are working on the &lt;strong&gt;WHY&lt;/strong&gt; the How comes later, let&#39;s get the horse before the carriage, so many times we want the answer before we really know the why. More to come stay tuned and we will discover more in my next post.&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for the your encouragement your emails have been great feedback.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Use the links ; &lt;strong&gt;Recommend site to a friend&lt;/strong&gt;, and share some insights with them.&lt;br /&gt;Check out the &lt;strong&gt;&quot;How it Works&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; link which will help you see another way to get success part time.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/112812882805973749/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/13660912/112812882805973749' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112812882805973749'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112812882805973749'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2005/10/why.html' title='THE WHY'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-112793916316081643</id><published>2005-09-29T18:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-09-29T02:50:20.380-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Do It Before You Need It</title><content type='html'>It is like going on a diet after triple by-pass surgery, a bit late! On the outside you may find people that are happy, that have it all, OR Do they ? Just ask them. Would they do it different if they had it over again. We have one chance at this thing called life how well do you trade your time? Usually it is metered out at dollars per hour, do we respect or value our time? Or do we just follow like sheep the status quo, are you making compromises that this is your lot in life and now just having to accept it. So now it is your choice, be the walking dead or design you life. The wonderful thing about people is that they can change.&lt;br /&gt;No matter where you might be now, resolve to embark on the journey of self-improvement in all areas of your life, including your health. It&#39;s the one greatest &amp;amp; most exciting journeys you will ever take. Personal Development is just as important as the capitol that a business requires to expand, without capitol it can be frustrating and dangerous to move forward, so it is without the leadership skills that come from personal development that can also frustrate your desire to move forward, reading good success stories from those people that not only tell you but show you. Nothing works in theory until it is proven in action. So when taking advice always listen to successful people that have triumphed over failure &quot; Success is a poor teacher&quot; only by failing do you learn the lesson. The most successful people that I have had the pleasure of sharing time with have failed the most but today they have financial freedom, time free and enjoy helping others to obtain the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Share this with your friends and help them succeed by your example of stepping out of your comfort zone to develop yourself.&lt;br /&gt;Recommend this site and we will see you next post.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/112793916316081643/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/13660912/112793916316081643' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112793916316081643'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112793916316081643'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2005/09/do-it-before-you-need-it.html' title='Do It Before You Need It'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-112770876773640746</id><published>2005-09-26T14:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-09-25T21:45:57.183-07:00</updated><title type='text'>KISS Principal</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;KEEP IT SUPER SIMPLE&lt;/strong&gt;, that is if you want to be successful in this style of enterprise.&lt;br /&gt;We all look for the magical edge that will create instant income, a bit like micro-wave cooking ready in 60 seconds.

Cynical people that are so bitter towards change that they infect other people with their outlook in life, how about becoming the encourager, giving courage is more rewarding than stealing someone&#39;s hopes for a better life, yes there are genuine reasons to take care and I respect that, but in balance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;It is better to have no sight than to have sight with no vision&quot; &lt;/strong&gt;a great quote from the past.
