The Ultimate Reset Review

When I got the news that Beachbody was about to launch a new program called The Ultimate Reset I couldn’t wait to review it. There are so many cleanse products on the market that are so dangerous because they deprive the body of the nutrients it needs and in my option that is dangerous to anyone health.

Why Reset?

Our environment has become more and more toxic. Our bodies absorb pollution and
harmful chemicals all our lives, along with the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the
water we drink. These toxins can get stored in our bodies, clogging our cells and
slowing down their natural functions.

It’s not enough just to work out and eat right. At Beachbody®, we realized we had to
take a break from the everyday and find a way to get those toxins out of our bodies.
Along with getting in shape on the outside, we had to start getting healthy on the
inside.

What is the Beachbody Ultimate Reset™?

The Beachbody Ultimate Reset is a complete, three-phase, 21-day program that
provides everything you need to:

you have real food, provides specially formulated supplements, and teaches you
conscious living techniques that work to detoxify and restore your body.

conscious self-care behaviors that can help you maintain better health, even after

“Testing” is an ugly topic. Why? Because testing variables in advertising direct mail, phone scripts and sales presentations requires discipline, diligence and patience. To get it right, you can only test one variable at a time. This means that if you change a headline, you can’t change anything else. Plus you have to make sure all other variables remain the same, like the mailing day or a war breaking out that has everybody watching CNN day and night or the President getting caught again with his drawers down or a hurricane hitting.

Frankly, most business people will just not go through the “detailitis” required to test – which is why it’s a very good idea to model proven promotions. And in some cases where you’re only going to use something once or twice or you’re dealing with a very small number, it’s just not worth testing; instead, you take your best shot. But let’s assume you’re working on something you intend to use over and over and over again in some significant quantity, so that it’s worth real effort to fine-tune it…

I have some tips for you: first of all, there’s non-testing testing – huh? Well, In Dan’s book he talks about ‘The Ultimate Sales Letter’ (available at http://www.davidtylermartin.com/dansletter), and the steps to take with a finished sales letter before you actually mail it. Second, there’s split testing, which is the fastest way to test and get to a reasonable conclusion. Let’s assume you have a postcard and you want to leave everything the same but test four different headlines, and you have 4,000 similar addresses to mail to. You do “nth name testing”; that means Headline #A goes to every 4th name, Headline #B to every 5th name, Headline #C to every 5th name, etc.

So you evenly divide the list without bias among the headlines being tested. Some media (like Val-Pak or MoneyMailer) will let you split test within a single buy. Third, there’s testing against a control. A “control” is a marketing strategy that already works well and you’re using it on a continuing basis – maybe it’s a series of letters you mail every month. You have been using it long enough you know what it produces. You have a “known” to measure against. Now you can start trying to improve that control, ideally one step or variable at a time.

If I’m trying to beat a control, here are the “hot” variables I’ll look at closely, to see if there’s room for improvement:

The offer
The guarantee(s)
The urgency of response
The big idea or big promise
The overcoming of skepticism i.e. credibility and believability
The style or tone of the writing itself
The look of the piece

By the way, little, very testable things DO sometimes make very big differences. Recently I showed an example in my newsletter of a guy who just added four rubber-stamped words to the outside of his envelope, and beat his control by 300%. I once brought a TV infomercial back from the dead by raising the price of the product.

Gary Halbert saved the Pearl Cream advertising by adding a particular bonus. In 1984, after attending my seminar, a dentist in Sacramento changed five words on his Val-Pak coupon and went from getting two or three new patients a month to 15 to 20. This is the sort of thing that makes direct-response advertising as frustrating as golf. (Did you happen to see John Daly miss a put seven times and scratch himself out of the tournament? Ugh.)

Obviously, you can’t test if you can’t, won’t or don’t collect accurate data. You have to code every offer, and track where every ounce of business comes from. If you have employees who are lax about this, you must educate them about the importance, discipline them if they goof it up, and ultimately can’em if they won’t do it right 100% of the time. I confess that I fly by the seat of my pants in my business more than I should, but I can’t fire me, God knows there are days I should. Anyway, I can assure you: the clients I have with the best profits and incomes possess the best information about where their business comes from.

Let me switch gears and talk briefly about another aspect of “testing”. This is actually how all highly successful entrepreneurs view everything they do…as testing. They do NOT see things in the context of “success” or “failure” like ordinary people do, and as a result they do not become “de-motivated” like most people do. See, most people drain all the vitality, courage, optimism and git-up-n-go out of themselves by focusing on all the things they do that don’t work out well, as a compilation of failures.

But successful people understand the powerful impact of that negative reinforcement on their own self-image (somewhat akin to the impact of pouring a gallon of toxic waste into a pint of clear water, drinking the result, and wondering why the stomach backs up into the esophagus). Instead, they carefully organize the things they do into a series or sequence of experiments, testing options, and focusing on the ones they find that work. And they fully expect to go through any number of experiments that don’t pan out before walking away from the lab with a winner. This not only has practical relevance, it has profound psychological ramifications.

Just like a little tweak in thinking can make a big difference in the results of say, an ad or a flyer, a little tweak in thinking can make a giant difference in the life results experienced by an individual.

The real question that is in my mind is are you ready to make the change in your own life? Many American’s still believe that someone will save their jobs. It will not be happening. Just last summer the “99%” had sit ins, asking local and state governments to create jobs. It will not be happening. If you are a smart person and I believe you are, you will soon begin to realize the world is going another way and you can’t be average anymore. Its time to retrain yourself for the new reality. My quest is to help others find their path and to understand the trends and make that change within themselves.

As I write this, my wife and I made a goal to run the TransRockies Run in August 2012. It is a 120-mile 6-day event that will test our inner champions. I’m now faced with one of those obstacles. Many ultra runners face repetitive motion injury; I’m faced with a right ankle that isn’t healing. I’m faced with that age old question: Are you a champion or are you going to quit? Quit! It makes me sick to my stomach to utter those words in this blog. But, do champions quit? The answer is NO. Watch this video. Diana Nayd, she set all kinds of long distant swimming records in 1970′s but hadn’t been swimming for years, one day began to look for purpose in her life again. I believe she was looking for that desire to do what all champions do. I also believe true champions build a habit of winning and the ups and downs don’t effect them as much as they might effect us “champions in training”. That’s right, we are all champions in training. Watch this video and really listen to her words. Have you walked away from a dream because the odds were against you? Do you wish you could be like Diana?

After watching this, I had to watch it again. I felt that desire to push though my problems and reach the next level. Did you feel that? While you were watching this, did you feel that you want and deserve more out of your life? Then you have it. The heart of a champion. But, champions don’t sit around waiting for something big to happen, they make it happen. All of us were so inspired by 3rd string quarterback Tim Tebow who lit up the mile high city with his desire to win. I don’t care if you like him or you don’t. Did you feel something watching his team pull out those amazing victories? Then you might just have the heart of a champion. Diana showed me the grace in falling short and the courage it takes to come back. I’ve felt that before – in early 2010 doctors found a tumor in my upper right chest. I was training for a Triathlon and it was killing me to stop all my training and undergo a 9-hour operation and 10 months of recovery. But what do champions do? They come back. I came back and finished that Triathlon on my terms and then set the goal to run the TransRockies with the most amazing woman on this planet. My wife has inspired me to reach for all my goals no matter how big or small. My wish for you today is that you will be a champion in all you do!

GO FOR IT!

This news got me excited. I’m always glad when I see people taking responsibility and helping others.

Today in USA Today Kelly Kennedy wrote a great article about how over the last two years companies have adopted financial incentives to encourage people to lose weight, join a fitness program or get a physical exam, according to a survey last month by the National Business Group on Health.

Helen Darling the president of NBGH said “There was a long time when employers felt this was a personal issue, but in the last five years, the dramatically increasing health care cost of obesity have changed their minds.”

Some serious problems related to obesity she said, including higher rates of depression, absenteeism, low productivity and more medical claims. An overweight employee costs employers $5000 more a year in health costs then a healthy-weight individual.

It pays off to help employees loose weight

These were some interesting findings. They surveyed 335 employers and found that the share of companies that used financial rewards in health management programs increased to 54% in 2011 from 36% in 2009. Its expected that 80% of companies plan to offer financial rewards.

The survey also revealed that the percentage using penalties, such as for smoking, more then doubled from 8% in 2009 to 19% in 2011. Nearly 40% of the companies surveyed plan to use penalties next year.

Because of the Affordable Care Act that allows employers to spend 30% of employees health insurance or up to 505 with Department of Health and Human services approval – on wellness incentives starting in 2014.

Some employers are seeing behaviors changing with these incentives.

Health Care Service Corp., a health benefits company made up of four Blue Cross and Blue Shield programs and Dearboarn National, medical claim costs fell more the $1 million in a year, according to Lauren Plugas, spokesworman for HCSC

Employees who workout one to two times a week have 8% lower medical cost then those who don’t work out; those who work out two to three times a week have 28% lower medical cost; and those who work out more then three times a week have a 44% lower medical costs.

Companies are paying co-pays and giving cash incentives for weight lost.

      Growing up we we’re exposed to so much, Disney for instance would make you believe that there are always happy endings. I think we are exposed to marketing, when we are small that would make us believe that someday soon our fairy tail ending will be coming. Then the realities of the world set in and we forget about it all, we are running from place to place trying to make money,  we experience divorce, death and our local news media telling us how horrible the world is. For me, I forgot about dreams in my twenties and got caught up in life and it wasn’t until I was 35 that I realized that I needed a new way to think. I began to write out my goals in life and created a vision board. Today I’m 47 and that was 12 years of more ups and downs and failed relationships, but I kept saying that I wouldn’t give in to the negative no matter what.
