<h2>HOW TO BE A WORLD CHAMPION LIKE OLYMPIAN JOSEPH SCHOOLING OF SINGAPORE:</h2>
<h2>What we&#8217;ve learnt from Joseph Schooling&#8217;s Olympic Gold Medal win in the 100m Butterfly Final @ Rio 2016 which was won against all odds:</h2>
<ol>
<li>Start working on your <strong>Goal</strong> as early as you possibly can. Start it Now! The Power is in the <strong>Now</strong>.</li>
<li>Look at your clearly defined, <em>written Goals</em> daily and sacrifice everything to achieve it. Remember why you are &#8220;here&#8221;.</li>
<li>Focus on <strong>Daily Activities</strong> that are important and go for gold.</li>
<li>Have the <strong>Right Attitude</strong>, No Grit, No Guts, No Glory. Don&#8217;t settle for second best. Give your all.</li>
<li><strong>Train / Work hard</strong>. Start your day as early as possible.</li>
<li><strong>Learn from the best</strong>. Get a coach or mentor to help you.</li>
<li><strong>Be Positive</strong>. We all have doubts, the trick is to never look back. Believe in yourself. Be confident you can achieve anything you set out to do.</li>
<li>Size does not matter. Being small doesn&#8217;t mean you are invisible. <em>Make Big Steps</em> that makes you <strong>Unstoppable</strong>.</li>
<li>Stay away from <strong>Negative people</strong> who do not share your goals. Most importantly, do not engage in negative self-talk. Keep your mind in positive mode always.</li>
<li><strong>Work for a higher cause.</strong> Serve beyond Self. Be part of something bigger.</li>
<li><strong>Practice</strong> Does Not Make Perfect&#8211; &#8220;<em>Only Correct Practice Does</em>&#8220;.</li>
<li><strong>Have a good support group</strong>. Surround yourself with people who want to see you succeed.</li>
<li><strong>Prioritise your tasks</strong>. You can&#8217;t win every battle. Choose which activity you must excel in and win.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>2016 Olympian Joseph Schooling from Singapore</strong> is on top of the world because of these factors. If we want to be a <span style="color:#333333;">world champion</span>, we have to adopt <em>Joseph Schooling</em>&#8216;s <span style="color:#333333;">approach to success.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><span style="color:#000080;">USANA DIAMOND DIRECTOR SHARES THE SECRETS OF HIS SUCCESS IN NETWORK MARKETING / MLM</span></h1>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A short interview (video) with <strong>Sam Renga</strong>, USANA Diamond Director and Million Dollar Club member talks about what he has learnt from <strong>Nanncy Long</strong> in <strong>network marketing / MLM</strong> 16 years ago..These secrets has helped him build a big and strong team with USANA and become a successful network marketeer today.</p>
<h2>The 4 Secrets of Being A Successful Network Marketeer / MLM</h2>
<ul>
<li>Determine what you want.</li>
<li>Decide what you are willing to give up or reschedule to get what you want.</li>
<li>Associate with people who will help you get what you want.</li>
<li>Have a Plan that works and work the plan.</li>
</ul>
<p>Sam was one of <em>Nancy Long</em>&#8216;s downline in Nancy&#8217;s first MLM company 16 years ago. Previous to this he had no experience in <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Network Marketing</span> and did not take any supplements.</p>
<p>He became inspired when he read/listened to <strong>Randy Gage&#8217;s &#8220;Escape the Rat Race&#8221;</strong> book recommended by Nancy Long. That led him on a long journey to be an expert in this industry by reading as many of the network marketing classics available in the market.</p>
<p>Though they are competitors in the <em>network marketing industry</em>, they have stayed in touch and have mutual respect for one another.</p>
<p>Sam also talked about Nancy Long&#8217;s forthcoming <strong>new book</strong> about how to become successful in <em>direct sales</em> based on her over 30 years experience in this dynamic and robust industry. An industry that has made her millions of dollars and take her to the top of the 3 previous direct sales companies she&#8217;s been involved in. We will announce details of <span style="color:#333333;">Nanncy</span>&#8216;s new book here when details are available.</p>
<p>Thank you Sam for being generous in your sharing.</p>

<h2>HOW TO CHOOSE A GOOD SUPPLEMENT THAT MEETS WITH YOUR HEALTH NEEDS?</h2>
<p>Before you start taking any <em>herbal medicine or supplement</em> be sure you assess your vitamin needs. Consider your lifestyle and diet. Look for nutritional deficiencies in your diet. There are some medical tests you can do to find out your vitamin or nutritional deficiencies or do research on possible remedies for health symptoms you may have.</p>
<p>It has been well documented that our food supply isn&#8217;t as rich in nutrients as it once was. This is due to several factors including mono-crop farming, depleted soil, earlier harvest for longer transports and the varieties being grown. Ideally we take supplements with the intention of supplementing our existing diet.</p>
<p>Environmental toxins and stress can also contribute to health issues.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>TIPS ON HOW TO PICK A GOOD SUPPLEMENT THAT WILL HELP YOU STAY HEALTH</h2>
<p>Below are some tips on how you can select <em>good supplements / vitamins</em> that can help you overcome some of your health challenges and help you stay healthy:</p>
<h3>1. Serving Size / Dosage</h3>
<p>If the supplement is only one serving size per day especially a multivitamin, you are wasting your time. It is not possible for producers of vitamins to pack all the vitamins into one capsule/tablet to complement your healthy diet.</p>
<h3>2. When to take a supplement</h3>
<p>It is vitally important to take the vitamins at the right time to help optimize your nutrient absorption. Read the label.</p>
<h3>3. Quality</h3>
<p>Not all vitamins are created equal. Quality of your supplement makes a big difference as to whether it will help you stay healthy. Avoid <em>partial vitamins</em> which are combined with other chemicals. They are completely different from vitamins from whole, real food.</p>
<p>If you remove a part from the whole, you get &#8220;<em>synthetic</em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>isolated</em>,&#8221; or &#8220;<em>fractionated</em>&#8221; pieces of the whole. it is not the same. Your body cannot absorb synergistically <em>synthetic supplements with bio-availability</em> being the key concern.</p>
<p><strong>Partial vitamins</strong> also requires higher dosages to work as well as good natural vitamins. It is like comparing fast food with real whole foods. The nutrient value lost can be more than 50%. Furthermore, these anti-nutrients can deplete the nutritional value of your foods just like cooking can alter the nutritional value of your food.</p>
<h3>4. Price has bearing on Quality</h3>
<p>Price is usually a good indication if the supplement is of a good quality. If you buy it from a discount store or from a small producer, you do not know if they have good manufacturing practices in place. If it is cheap, it usually means that there is very little R&amp;D that went into the making of the product. For the true value of the product, compare <em>cost per day</em> than <em>cost per bottle</em>.</p>
<h3>5. Where you buy your supplements?</h3>
<p>Is it a highly reputable company with highest quality control manufacturing practices?</p>
<h3>6. RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance and RD (Recommended Daily Intake) guidelines.</h3>
<p>The supplement must meet with the specified minimum RDA/RD amounts.</p>
<h3>7. Must include added bonus of essential minerals.</h3>
<p>These minerals add their unique layer of nutritional support. Many specialised vitamins lack important minerals.</p>
<h3>8. Whether it is evaluated by laboratories or received awards.</h3>
<p>Labs that provide clinical evaluation of the vitamin or awards are a good indication of the quality of the supplement. Look for <em>research studies</em> to show that the product is <em>clinically proven</em> to support health.</p>
<h3>9. Look for manufacturers with a Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) facility.</h3>
<p>A <strong>GMP</strong> facility must comply with rigid standards, the same standards required by pharmaceutical companies as mandated by the FDA.<br />
This assures that what is in the bottle is the same as what is on the label.<br />
Discrepancies happen more often than you might realise!<br />
Recently a study on 55 brands of vitamin D supplements found they contained between 9% – 146% of what was listed on the label!<br />
Next, you want to know that the raw materials are of high quality.</p>
<h3>10. Does the manufacturer have a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for each ingredient.</h3>
<p>Having a <strong>COA</strong> means that the raw material is tested by an independent lab and deemed to be <em>contaminant-free</em>.</p>
<h3>11. Is it NSF certified.</h3>
<p><strong>NSF</strong>.org is a respected third-party quality assurance organisation. It verifies that a facility complies with good manufacturing practices, and takes proper steps to ensure product safety and accurate labelling.</p>
<h3>12. Other Seals of Approval</h3>
<p>Seals of approval from <em>Consumerlab.com</em>, the <em>Natural Products Association (NPA)</em>, the <em>United States Pharmacopeia (USP)</em>, and others are indicative that the products are the best supplements to take. However, the absence of such a seal is no reflection on quality, either good or bad.</p>
<h3>13. Look for transparent labeling.</h3>
<p>Some products contain “<em>proprietary formulas</em>” that do not reveal ingredients’ amounts and concentrations.<br />
It should have the <em>herb&#8217;s scientific name</em>, plant part, and an expiration date. It&#8217;s also nice to see the plant&#8217;s place of origin and whether it was grown organically or <em>wild-crafted</em> (picked in the wild). Companies will say they do this to protect their formulations from their competitors, and we understand this. But less-than-reputable companies hide behind these words to conceal the fact that there isn’t enough of specific ingredients to do you any good.</p>
<p>If you have <strong>allergies</strong>, you should check if it contains soy, nuts, animal products etc.</p>
<h3>14. Avoid supplements which contain binders or coatings</h3>
<p>Binders and coatings holds the product together so it can be easily swallowed. Also look out for <em>fillers</em>.  Some of these substances may be bad for your health. Research to find out which substances should be avoided.</p>
<h3>15. Label Red Flags</h3>
<p>Look for <strong>“red flags” on labels</strong>—Sucrose (sugar), artificial colouring and flavouring, preservatives, and additives such as shellac, chlorine and other chemicals should be avoided. Check to see if it contains hydrogenated oils.<br />
These are usually hidden in the &#8220;other ingredients&#8221; category. Watch out for meaningless terms like “nutraceutical” which does not add any value to the supplement.</p>
<h3>16. Make sure you are getting the therapeutic dosage.</h3>
<p>Some companies intentionally add a miniscule amount of an expensive ingredient so they can add it to the label. &#8220;<em>Fairy dust</em>&#8221; does not give you right amounts of the ingredient for it to be effective in providing a solution to your health.</p>
<h3>17. The vitamin must be formulated with a knowledgeable researchers or herbalists.</h3>
<p>Buy products from herbalists who understand the required dosages and possible interactions. The americanherbalistsguild provides useful information on various herbs and how they should be used.</p>
<h3>18. Beware of Private Label Supplements</h3>
<p>These are supplements created by manufacturers based on existing generic supplements. Look for spelling mistakes, no contact numbers, and hype claims about the value of their product to get an indication of the product reliability.</p>
<h3>19. Look for a 30 Day Return Policy</h3>
<p>Reputable companies will offer a 30 Day money back guarantee.</p>
<h3>20. Avoid overly expensive products.</h3>
<p>Expensive does not mean that that it is a very good product. If is it over US$100a bottle, you may be paying too much for the product.</p>
<h3>21. Look for Standardized Herbal Extracts vs Whole Herbs.</h3>
<p>Traditional herbalists prefer the use of whole herbs, also called <em>full spectrum extracts</em>. <em>Standardize extracts</em> usually means the use of harsh chemical solvents to isolate the main active ingredients. Check for <em>Absorption</em> and <em>Bioavailability Rates</em>.</p>
<h3>22. Check whether your supplement will dissolve</h3>
<p><strong>USP </strong>refers to <em>U.S. Pharmacopeia</em>, an organization that was established to create state-of-the-art standards to ensure the quality of medicines that humans use. This includes vitamin and mineral supplements. An example of the kind of <em>USP</em> designation that you want to look for on the label of a product you are considering would be something like, &#8220;this product conforms to the USPXXVII requirements for disintegration and dissolution&#8221;.</p>
<h3>23. Customer feedback</h3>
<p>Always be on guard on user comments on social media. Recommendations can be bought. Always read in between the lines of such user recommendations. Comments on Amazon, particularly those who are &#8220;Amazon Verified Purchase&#8221; are more reliable.  Put more weight age on recommendations from other health professionals.<br />
The <strong>Better Business Bureau</strong> rating is also a good gauge of whether the company has a good customer rating and low on complaints or legal issues.</p>
<h3>24. Expiration Dates</h3>
<p>Always look for an <em>expiration date</em>. While some nutrients, such as calcium and other minerals, maintain their potency for several years, others like vitamins B and C have a significantly shorter shelf life. The FDA doesn’t require expiration dates on supplement bottles, so many companies don’t provide them. I do not recommend buying such products. Who knows how long they’ve been sitting on the shelf or warehouse?</p>
<h3>25. Are Dietary Supplements Regulated by the Government?</h3>
<p>Contrary to popular belief, dietary supplements <span style="text-decoration:underline;">are</span> regulatory govt organisations eg</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>FDA</strong> regulates the manufacturing of supplements (ingredients that can be included in the supplements and the manufacturing practices)</li>
<li><strong>FTC</strong> regulates the marketing of vitamins and supplements (eg proper labelling and benefit claims of the products).</li>
<li></li>
</ul>

<h3>26. Adverse Reactions to your Vitamins / Supplements</h3>
<p>Don&#8217;t believe all the propaganda about vitamins and supplements being <em>unsafe</em>. There are very instances of people getting an <strong>adverse reaction</strong> from alternative medicinal products if you adhere to the label instructions and choose a good quality supplement. If you are worried about <em>adverse reactions</em> on your supplements, you should be even more worried of the medicines that your doctor is prescribing routinely to you. Do careful research on the medications you are taking to assess your risk of <span style="text-decoration:underline;">adverse reactions</span>, <em>poisoning, and even death</em> which your doctor will not tell you because if you knew, you wouldn&#8217;t take them.</p>
<figure data-shortcode="caption" id="attachment_5765" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5765" style="width: 1521px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" data-attachment-id="5765" data-permalink="https://teamrich.wordpress.com/2016/06/10/choosing-the-right-supplement/x-ray-vitamins/#main" data-orig-file="https://teamrich.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/x-ray-vitamins.png" data-orig-size="1521,1162" data-comments-opened="0" data-image-meta="{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}" data-image-title="X-Ray-Vitamins" data-image-description="&lt;p&gt;Photo of an x-ray taken of a person&amp;#8217;s colon area with the vertebrae of their backbone off to one side which clearly shows two supplement tablets, still intact.

<h3>What if I pick the wrong supplement?</h3>
<p>If the vitamin supplement you are considering doesn&#8217;t meet the standards discussed above, it can pass right through your body and do you no good at all.</p>
<p>To give you an example of this, I have actually seen a photo of an x-ray taken of a person&#8217;s colon area with the vertebrae of their backbone off to one side. In this photo I could clearly see two supplement tablets, still intact, looking like they had just come out of the bottle. These supplement tablets were poorly made, never disintegrated and would soon end up in the toilet. Photos like these are a graphic illustration of the fact that just because you swallow your vitamin supplement doesn&#8217;t mean your body is going to be able to use it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>FINAL THOUGHTS ON SUPPLEMENTS / VITAMINS</h3>
<p>If you have gotten to the point where you are looking for a vitamin and mineral supplement to take, congratulations. You have taken a positive step towards improving your health and taking better care of your body. However, make sure to continue that commitment to yourself by doing your homework and making sure that you choose a good quality supplement. It makes no sense to go that far then end up wasting your money on something that your body can&#8217;t even use.</p>

</ul>
<p><em>Source on above Supplements and Vitamins Usage Research:</em><br />
Archives of Internal Medicine (now called JAMA Internal Medicine) was Why US Adults Use Dietary Supplements by Reagan L. Bailey and colleagues from the Office of Dietary Supplements at the National Institutes of Health. It also relies on the NHANES dataset, a representative survey of US civilians which began collecting specific information on reasons for supplement use in 2007. Data are collected through interviews, and a Dietary Supplement Questionnaire was used to gather detailed information on each participant’s use of vitamins and other supplements. This survey reports the results from 11,956 adults (children, young adults (&lt; 20 years), and all pregnant and lactating women were excluded from analysis). Here’s the snapshot of the participants:</p>
<h2>Most Popular Reasons People Take Supplements / Vitamins</h2>
<ul>
<li>“to feel better” (41%)</li>
<li>“to improve your overall energy levels” (41%)</li>
<li>“to boost your immune system” (36%)</li>
<li>“digestive issues” (28%)</li>
<li>“lower cholesterol” (21%)</li>
</ul>

Have you ever thought about the question:<br />
Why am I here? What is the purpose of my life?<br />
Is there really a dream I can live out in my life?</p>
<h2>Everything in life starts with a dream.</h2>
<p>You cannot do it if you cannot imagine it.<br />
So Never stop dreaming, Never stop Imagining.</p>
<p>You are never too old to dream, IMAGINE. What do you see?<br />
Older people have a tendency of not being able to dream big as much as when they were a kid. The lack of presence of a dream is due to a life time of conditioning to think &#8220;realistically&#8221;. Instead of being realistic, be creative. Look way beyond the possible. Look at the Impossible even. When you are realistic, you rob yourself the power and energy to do great things.</p>
<p>Before you can see from the outside, you must be able to see it in the inside. You got to expand your Inner Vision.</p>

<h2>WHY YOU NEED TO DREAM BIG</h2>
<p>When you&#8217;ve got a great dream, you will get a great life. Why would you ever want to settle for an easy life when you can get a great life?</p>
<p><strong>Why do you need a big dream?</strong> <em>Because a BIG dream will stretch your ability beyond what you thought would be possible</em>.   Life is too short to be small.</p>
<p>Small dreams will give you small breakthroughs. Big dreams, on the other hand, will give you big breakthroughs. Why walk if you can fly?</p>
<p>If your horizon is limited, you cannot see far and you cannot go far.<br />
Explore the possibility of life without limits. To accomplish great things, we must not only <strong>Act</strong> but also <strong>Dream</strong>, not only <strong>Plan</strong> but also <strong>Believe</strong> in all of life&#8217;s infinite possibilities.</p>
<p>Dream the colours of the rainbow. Look for the sunshine. Look up for your stars in the sky. You can&#8217;t see your stars under bright lights. Step away from the daily grind. Look for your stars from within. Let your mind illustrate your dreams and manifest itself. Let that which was hidden come out into the light. Let your light shine brightly for all to see.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be restricted by your shortcomings. Don&#8217;t settle for low hanging fruit. Stretch way beyond your imagination and capabilities.</p>
<p>When you have a big dream, your mind will build its sub-conscious character into your life. It will build your Faith, Persistence, Self-Control and Resilience. It will chase the boredom in your life. A dream will wake you up.</p>
<p>A dream is meant to be risky. Risky = Rewards. You have to be strong to take risks. Being fragile means that you want take the easy way out. &#8220;Easy&#8221; has very little rewards. Walk on the upside. The well travelled road is crowded with people going nowhere.</p>
<p>Everything left on its own will deteriorate by itself. So keep your dream alive by making plans to turn them into action. Some are big steps, some are small steps. Whatever it is, keep on moving ever forward.</p>
<p>A fear of failure stops us from dreaming. The only people who never fail are the people who never tried. TRY!  Failure is not fun &#8211; but it is not final either.</p>
<p>A dream can bring out the best in you. It can transform you from inside out.</p>
<p>You are only free if you can dream an amazing dream that can come true.</p>
<h2>15 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD START FOLLOWING YOUR DREAM TODAY</h2>
<p><span style="color:#999999;">By Izmael Arkin</span></p>
<ul>
<li>You&#8217;ve always wanted to do this.</li>
<li>You’ll experience things you never could have imagined.</li>
<li>You will become courageous.</li>
<li>You will become an inspiration to those around you.</li>
<li>You will realize the incredible things you are capable of doing.</li>
<li>You will like yourself more.</li>
<li>Life will become beautiful.</li>
<li>Your joy and happiness will become contagious.</li>
<li>You will connect on a deeper level with the force of the universe.</li>
<li>You will smile more.</li>
<li>It will give meaning to everything you do.</li>
<li>The food will taste better.</li>
<li>Every day you will learn new things.</li>
<li>Your happiness will show on your face.</li>
<li>You will love being around you.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Everything starts with a dream.</em> Everyone needs a dream. So start chasing your dream today. Start focussing on how to achieve your dream. Create a dream program of abundance.</p>
<h2>HOW TO RECEIVE THE DREAM:</h2>
<p><strong>1. Surrender yourself completely to the dream.</strong> Spend a quiet time with yourself. Open your mind to unlimited creativity. Listen with your heart. Listen to your sub-Conscious Mind. Only you can forget your dream. Never lose sight of your dream. Post your dream illustrations / dream board where you can see it every day. Question your purpose in life. Hold on to your dream as if your life depends on it.</p>
<p>In your head you have two voices &#8211; one with a positive perspective and another with a negative perspective. Turn up the positive voice and turn down the negative one &#8211; by re-framing the thought. Example: &#8220;I can&#8217;t find anyone who is interested in my product&#8221; to &#8220;There are lots of people interested in my product. Where are they likely to be?&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>2. What are your Strengths / Gifts / Passion?</strong> And how can I use it? Dreams begin in your heart. Create great value for others and for yourself. Wealth will follow as wealth is the value you create for others. Your inspiring and compelling vision of the future engages your subconscious mind which works millions times faster than your conscious mind. When your subconscious is switched on, you will invent amazing things and gain amazing insights effortlessly.</p>
<p><strong>3. Keep your eyes on your dream team.</strong> Keep company with people who will help you hold on to your dream. Who will pull you up when you are down and out. Your support team will help you through obstacles, hardships and pain. Don&#8217;t let anyone steal your dream. Your life situation is temporary. Your dream is universal and timeless. Don&#8217;t let it die. Keep the fire burning deep inside of you.</p>
<p>When you&#8217;ve got your Dream  (your life&#8217;s purpose) get to work. It won&#8217;t be easy but it will be worth it. Be Unstoppable! It&#8217;s your Gift. Start dreaming. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Everything starts with a dream.</span></p>

<h2>How to Choose the Right MLM / Network Marketing Company</h2>
<p><strong>Here are the key factors to consider when selecting an MLM / Network Marketing Company:</strong></p>
<p>(Partial Source: Entrepreneur JULY 24, 2006):</p>
<h3>1. Carefully research the company.</h3>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Company&#8217;s Track Record, Financial Stability</span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">How long</span> have they been in business? If the company is less than 2 years old, the probability of failure is high. If it&#8217;s more than 15 years old, you&#8217;ve probably missed most of its growth.</p>
<p>Examine the <span style="text-decoration:underline;">management team</span> to see if it has a solid mix of people who&#8217;ve been involved in managing successful traditional and network marketing companies. Who are they? What’s their mission? Are they people with <strong>INTEGRITY</strong>? What’s their track record, past experience?</p>
<p>Search the internet to see if the company has any lawsuits or outstanding <span style="text-decoration:underline;">complaints</span> against it. If the company is solid, you can assess the next factor.</p>
<p>Check also if the company has (c) international or global presence. Even though you have no plans of going international today, you cannot control the growth of your network in the future.</p>
<p>If the Network Marketing companies have been around for decades, you should examine if they are still growing and bringing in new reps and customers each and every single day.  You can get annual DSA statistics of the company if they are among the top 100 direct selling companies in the world. If they are not in the top 100 after a decade in business, you need to ask yourself why they have not made the great leap forward.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>2. Find a product or service you&#8217;re passionate about.</h3>
<p>Does the company need to have a physical product for me to offer to friends, co-workers, people online, etc? Does their products excite me?</p>
<p>If not, find another company. Also ask yourself, is this a product or service that&#8217;s in <span style="text-decoration:underline;">high demand</span> and will be for many years to come?</p>
<p>Is this a <span style="text-decoration:underline;">consumable product</span> or service people must reorder every month?</p>
<p>Is there a genuine need for the product or service?</p>
<p>Is the product or service <span style="text-decoration:underline;">unique</span> in some way? Check also if the products are patented and exclusive to the company. There are very good imitators out there. You don’t want to see your products displayed at department stores or at any point, do you?</p>
<p>If it&#8217;s a product, does the company <span style="text-decoration:underline;">manufacture</span> it? If it&#8217;s a service, does the company perform the service itself? You want the answer to be yes.</p>
<p>Check to make sure the company will be able to handle rapid growth in product orders or <span style="text-decoration:underline;">service performanc</span>e.</p>
<p>Products must be of value but not overpriced and preferably with a <span style="text-decoration:underline;">money-back guarantee</span>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>3. Examine the compensation plan:</h3>
<p>Is the plan <span style="text-decoration:underline;">easy to understand and explain</span>? Does it reward new associates who sponsor a couple of people, or do you have to sponsor hundreds to make a decent income?</p>
<p>Check if there are purchase requirements so you can weigh that <span style="text-decoration:underline;">monthly investment</span> into your decision.</p>
<p>Ask for <span style="text-decoration:underline;">average annual incomes</span> at different levels of the company to get a picture of what people are making, then ask how long it takes to reach your desired level.</p>
<p>Also find out if commissions are <span style="text-decoration:underline;">paid monthly, weekly or daily</span>. Weekly is best&#8211;it puts less strain on the company and provides quick and consistent pay for you.</p>
<p>A good question to ask yourself would be, “Can I still make money if my network just consumes the products and does not recruit anybody?” Answer should be “YES;” otherwise, run away as fast as you can!</p>
<p>Another important question is Can you generate immediate income?</p>
<p>Beware of network marketing companies is offering very high returns. It is usually a sign that it could be a scam or money game. Chances you and your friends will get burn.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>4. Determine the amount of help you&#8217;ll get with marketing.</h3>
<p>Does the company offer <span style="text-decoration:underline;">full-colour marketing pieces, DVD presentations and customizable associate websites</span>?</p>
<p>Will it <span style="text-decoration:underline;">train</span> you to market your business?</p>
<p>Make sure the company has developed a <span style="text-decoration:underline;">solid internet-based ordering system</span> so customers can order via the site. Also, the site should allow you to sponsor new associates.</p>
<h3>5. Find out what type of and how much training is offered.</h3>
<p>Does the company offer a <span style="text-decoration:underline;">reasonably priced (under $50) associate training kit</span>? Is there training <span style="text-decoration:underline;">available online</span>? Are there<span style="text-decoration:underline;"> conventions and conferences held in cities near you</span>?</p>
<p>When you find several companies that meet your criteria, you then have to use your gut instincts to make a final decision. Does this company feel right? If so, you&#8217;re ready to begin a career in <span style="color:#333333;">network marketing</span>.</p>
<h3><b>6. Is the person who is introducing you to the opportunity committed to YOUR success?</b></h3>
<p>If they are, the company is strong, and the product or service is a winner, (and, of course, you&#8217;re willing to learn) you WILL succeed. There&#8217;s a big difference between a &#8220;sponsor&#8221; and a &#8220;recruiter.&#8221; A sponsor coaches. motivates and trains and a recruiter just signs people up and in most cases, abandons them.</p>
<h3>7. What types of things will motivate you to work harder?</h3>
<p>Examples:</p>
<ul>
<li>Recognition,</li>
<li>Money,</li>
<li>Property / Investments</li>
<li>Vacations</li>
<li>Flexible time, More Family time</li>
<li>Helping others around you succeed,</li>
<li>Opportunity,</li>
<li>Being first-to-market, etc.)</li>
<li>Be your own boss</li>
<li>Create a viable business for your family with less capital and in a shorter time.</li>
<li>No glass ceiling. You get paid for your effort.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Find strong, compelling reasons to drive you to greater success. Remind yourself everyday why you are in network marketing. Make your chosen career an all consuming passion. What drives you, will help you to persevere until you achieve the success you deserve and desire.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>8. Finally&#8230;What you must do to succeed in Network Marketing?</h3>
<p>I&#8217;ll be brutally frank, network marketing / MLM is a tough business. There are no short cuts. No free lunch. It is not a get rich quick business. But if you work consistently to build your network, you can earn money beyond your wildest dreams.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll have to treat it like any business.You&#8217;ll have to work longer, harder, develop new business skills and think about how you can improve your success rate / business acumen all the time. The better you are at doing all of these, the more you will earn.</p>
<p>That said, network marketing is a level playing field&#8230; meaning we all start from zero. So even if you are new to network marketing, you can still achieve some level of success depending on your capability of learning and applying the  skill sets you were thought (duplicating). Most good and successful network marketing companies have got a good <strong>Business Success System</strong>. Learn it, Use it, Duplicate it.</p>
<p>In real estate, it&#8217;s all about location, location, location. In network marketing, it all about duplication, duplication, duplication. Make things simple for yourself and for all who come after you. If it is simple, everyone can duplicate your success.</p>
<h4>Here are the key secret ingredients to your success in network marketing in a nutshell.</h4>
<ol>
<li><strong>Be coachable. <span style="color:#999999;"><em>No duplication, no success</em></span></strong></li>
<li><strong>Develop your dreams, goals and objectives. <span style="color:#999999;"><em>No goals, no success</em></span></strong></li>
<li><strong>Work, Work, Work. <span style="color:#999999;"><em>No work, no success</em></span></strong></li>
<li><strong>Be consistently persistent. <em><span style="color:#999999;">No persistence, no success</span></em></strong></li>
<li><strong>Make friends everywhere you go. <span style="color:#999999;"><em>No prospects. no success.</em></span></strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Success does not mean the lack of failure. Success means going from failure to failure without the loss of enthusiasm or courage. Do you have what it takes to be success in network marketing? If so, contact me and I promise you it will be worth your while.</p>

<h2>How Will I Know if My Food Has Been Irradiated?</h2>
<p>FDA requires that <em>irradiated foods</em> bear the international symbol for irradiation. Look for the <strong>Radura</strong> symbol along with the statement &#8220;<em>Treated with radiation</em>&#8221; or &#8220;<em>Treated by irradiation</em>&#8221; on the food label.</p>
<p>Bulk foods, such as fruits and vegetables, are required to be individually labelled or to have a label next to the sale container.</p>
<p>FDA does not require that individual ingredients in multi-ingredient foods (e.g., spices) be labelled.</p>

<p>It is important to remember that irradiation is not a replacement for proper food-handling practices by producers, processors and consumers. Irradiated foods need to be stored, handled and cooked in the same way as non-irradiated foods, because they could still become contaminated with disease-causing organisms after irradiation if the rules of basic food safety are not followed.</p>

<h3>Why Irradiation of Food</h3>
<h4>FDA says that Irradiated Food serves the following objectives:</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Prevention of Foodborne Illness</strong> – irradiation can be used to effectively eliminate organisms that cause foodborne illness, such as Salmonella and Escherichia coli (E. coli).</li>
<li><strong>Preservation</strong> – irradiation can be used to destroy or inactivate organisms that cause spoilage and decomposition and extend the shelf life of foods.</li>
<li><strong>Control of Insects</strong> – irradiation can be used to destroy insects in or on tropical fruits imported into the United States. Irradiation also decreases the need for other pest-control practices that may harm the fruit.</li>
<li><strong>Delay of Sprouting and Ripening</strong> – irradiation can be used to inhibit sprouting (e.g., potatoes) and delay ripening of fruit to increase longevity.</li>
<li><strong>Sterilization</strong> – irradiation can be used to sterilize foods, which can then be stored for years without refrigeration. Sterilized foods are useful in hospitals for patients with severely impaired immune systems, such as patients with AIDS or undergoing chemotherapy. Foods that are sterilized by irradiation are exposed to substantially higher levels of treatment than those approved for general use.</li>
</ul>

<h2>The Dangers of Food Irradiation</h2>
<h3>What&#8217;s Wrong with Food Irradiation?</h3>
<p>Irradiation damages the quality of food.</p>
<p>Foods that have been exposed to ionizing radiation compromises their nutrition and freshness especially vitamins C, E, K and B Complex. It destroys the antioxidant effect in foods exposing you to harmful free radicals. Irradiation it creates dirty food.</p>
<h3>Irradiation produces toxic byproducts in the food.</h3>
<p>New new radiolytic products, some of which are toxic (benzene, formaldehyde, lipid peroxides) may be created which can lead to increased tumors, reproductive failures and kidney damage. Chromosomal abnormalities occurred in children from India who were fed freshly irradiated wheat.</p>
<h3>Irradiation using radioactive materials is an environmental hazard.</h3>
<p>Leakage of radioactive water from processing plants and transport vehicles will have a big impact on the ecosystem. The clean up costs will be exhorbitant, not counting human medical costs from this pollution as we have found out from Georgia and New Jersey.</p>
<h3>Irradiation is a quick fix with long-term consequences.</h3>
<p>Irradiation doesn&#8217;t kill all bacteria; those that survive are radiation-resistant. Eventually these bacteria will require higher doses of radiation. Irradiation doesn&#8217;t kill the bacterium that causes botulism, or viruses. It can&#8217;t be used on dairy products, a major source of food poisoning.</p>
<h3>Irradiation doesn&#8217;t solve the problem, it just covers it up.</h3>
<p>In a 1997 CBS nationwide poll, 77% of US consumers did not want irradiated food. This public resistance is why food trade associations have been plotting to eliminate all requirements for labelling irradiated food.</p>
<p>There are better ways of maintaining clean and sustainable food. Cleaning up filthy slaughter houses, slowing down processing lines, increasing the number of federal meat inspectors, and encouraging local and organic agriculture instead of factory farming are just a few proposals that can lead to long-term food safety solutions without the risks of irradiation.</p>

<h2>The Importance of Real Food &#8211; Organically Farmed Foods</h2>
<p>First and foremost, eating real food is a foundational basic for optimizing your health—and your physical performance. If it’s beneficial for the “regular Joe,” you can be sure it’s going to be beneficial for athletes as well.</p>
<p><strong>Choosing organic, whole (meaning unprocessed) foods</strong>, grown without synthetic pesticides and fertilizers or genetically engineered organisms (GMO) is key, as avoiding toxins is just as important as getting a wide variety of nutrients.</p>
<p>While conventionally-grown and <em>organic crops</em> often contain about the same amount of nutrients, one key nutritional difference between them is their <span style="text-decoration:underline;">antioxidant content</span>.</p>
<p>Research has shown <span style="color:#666699;">organic fruits and vegetables</span> can contain anywhere from 18-69 percent more <em>antioxidants</em> than conventionally-grown varieties. Many of these <strong>antioxidants</strong> have been linked to a reduced risk of chronic diseases, including <span style="text-decoration:underline;">cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative diseases and certain cancers</span>.</p>

<h3>Organic Foods are Nutrient Dense</h3>
<p>Unfortunately, the nutrient content of foods has dramatically declined across the board since the introduction of <strong>mechanized farming</strong> in 1925. As a general rule, it’s the health of the soil that to a large degree dictates the quality of the food, 2,3 with healthy microbe-rich soil producing higher levels of nutrients in the crop.</p>
<p>Mechanical, chemical-based farming destroys the soil, thereby making it more challenging to grow healthy nutritious foods. Processing has further worsened the nutritional value of the standard American diet (SAD).</p>
<p>The sad fact is, most of the food consumed by Americans today is <span style="text-decoration:underline;">not real food</span>—it’s genetically engineered (GE), saturated with pesticides and added chemicals, and processed in a number of different ways. Many are so used to pre-packaged foods, they struggle to understand what real food is.</p>

<h3>How to Identify Real Organic Food</h3>
<p>If you fall into this category, here’s a quick summary of real food versus the processed “food products” that most people eat:</p>
<p><strong>Appearance</strong></p>
<p>Naturally and organically grown fruits and vegetables don&#8217;t look isame. Their colour, shape, structure will never be the same. If all the produce look identical, it could mean that the products have been chemically altered eg bleached the same colour.</p>
<p><strong>Size Up</strong></p>
<p>If the produce looks bigger in size than usually found on supermarket shelves, it could usually mean that the plants had been articificially altered with growth chemicals.</p>

<p><strong>Insect Activity</strong></p>
<p>If your grains, veggies and fruits have signs of worms or insect activity, it means that they have been grown naturally. If the leaves look perfect with no holes, it means that the plants is sprayed with high doses of pesticides. No amount of washing can completely remove the chemicals on these foods. If you do buy them, give them a thorough washing followed by a final rinse of salt water for two-three minutes. This helps remove germs and residue.</p>
<p><strong>Tasty</strong></p>
<p>Today, many vegetables and fruits are harvested when they are still not matured. These plant foods are then spraying of acetylene gas to accelerate the ripening process. These products will not be as tasty as naturally ripened foods.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">.</span><br />
<strong>Healthier</strong></p>
<p>Organic feels healthier, is far lighter on the digestive system and also helps reduce acidity and gas related GI issues.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">.</span><br />
<strong>The Smell Test</strong></p>
<p>Naturally grown produce have a nicer aroma and texture due to the naturally ripening process. Unfortunately, some companies will try to fool us by spraying artificial scents to create the original fragrance. You end up with the product that is not only nutritionless but also worthless.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">.</span><br />
<strong>Cook Faster</strong></p>
<p>Organically grown food always cooks much faster. Food with pesticides needs to be cooked for much longer periods.</p>
<p><strong>Read Labels</strong></p>
<p>Read the label and check for any preservatives present in the product; most preservatives are petroleum based and have ingredients that don&#8217;t have natural names.</p>
<p><strong>Certification</strong></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">4 digit PLU</span> — price look up code — the sticker basically means grown with pesticides;<br />
<span style="text-decoration:underline;">5 digit PLU</span> codes</p>
<ul>
<li>starting with 8 means GM grown,</li>
<li>5 digit codes starting with 9 means organically grown.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Why Eating Organic should be your Priority &#8211; GMOs</h3>
<p><strong>GMOs</strong> (or “genetically modified organisms”) are organisms whose genetic material has been artificially manipulated in a laboratory through genetic engineering, or GE. This relatively new science creates unstable combinations of plant, animal, bacteria and viral genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional cross-breeding methods.</p>
<p>For consumers, it can be difficult to stay up-to-date on food ingredients that are at-risk of being genetically modified, as the list of at-risk agricultural ingredients is frequently changing. The <strong>Non-GMO Project</strong> website provides information about developments in the GE industry which can impact on your health.</p>
<p>Several animal studies indicate serious health risks associated with genetically modified (GM) food (AAEM 2009),” including infertility, immune problems, accelerated aging, faulty insulin regulation, and changes in major organs and the gastrointestinal system. The AAEM has asked physicians to advise all patients to avoid GM foods.</p>

<h3>Why are Organic Foods Expensive?</h3>
<ol>
<li>No chemicals = more labor</li>
<li>Demand overwhelms supply</li>
<li>Higher cost of fertilizer for organic crops</li>
<li>Crop rotation</li>
<li>Post-harvest handling cost</li>
<li>Organic certification</li>
<li>Cost of covering higher loss</li>
<li>Better living conditions for livestock</li>
<li>Organic food grows more slowly</li>
<li>Less Government Subsidies</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Will the cost of organic food ever drop?</strong><br />
A Mint.com article stated that the price premium for organic food should decrease with the development of “more accurate pricing schemes, increased demand and improved production efficiencies. But still, chances are a premium will remain due to the costs built into the organic industry.”</p>
